Hero...

You must wake up...

A war is coming...

I know that you can save us...

I'll meet you when the time is right...

Opening his eyes, he places his hand on the side of his head to feel a sharp pain. He notices that he's on a bed but only the obvious metal bars to his left. He immediately gets up but not before losing balance and falling to the ground.

?:"Hello? What was that?"

Kentaro:"L-Lily?"

Lillian:"Kentaro! You're awake!"

?:"Good thing too. I was worried"

Kentaro:"Nobi? What happen?"

Nobi:"Don't you remember?"

Kentaro:"...Kaneza! Where is he?!"

Lillian:"We wasn't here when we woke up"

Kentaro:"Where could he be?"

Nobi:"Most likely at the Kingdom's jail. The best guards will be watching over him"

Kentaro:"They said he killed someone here...that's impossible though!"

Lillian:"They have multiple eyewitnesses. Their word against ours"

Kentaro:"So what's the plan?"

Lillian/Nobi:"Plan?"

Kentaro:"You heard me. We're gonna need a plan"

Nobi:"A plan, for what?"

Kentaro:"We're gonna help Kaneza, aren't we?"

Lillian:"Yeah but..."

Nobi:"...From how things look...He'll receive the death sentence"

Kentaro:"What?! If Kaneza dies, there's no telling what will happen on the other side!"

A door suddenly opens with guards coming to each of their cells. Someone walks down the hallway, checking everyone until he stops at Kentaro.

Army Leader:"...Kentaro?"

Kentaro:"It's you!"

Army Leader:"I brought you to the Kingdom to get a life. Not be stuck in my cells!"

Kentaro:"It's a misunderstanding!"

Lillian:"Yeah! We didn't break any law!"

Army Leader:"Then why are you here?"

Nobi:"A friend of ours is in danger. He's being accused of murder"

Army Leader:"...Did he do it?"

Lillian:"He wouldn't dare do it!"

Kentaro:"The murder happened here, in the Kingdom. But we were out doing a mission when it did"

Army Leader:"But everyone's pointing fingers at him? Why?"

Nobi:"Eyewitnesses say that their positive it was him. Gave good facial description of him too"

Army Leader:"That doesn't explain why you're in my cells"

Nobi:"To be blunt, we have no damn idea either. We just woke up in here without a guard to explain"

Army Leader:"Huh? No guard can do that!"

Kentaro:"...Seems like we became on someone's list"

Army Leader:"A list? Who's?"

Nobi:"He's using his skill again. Man, I love seeing it"
