Remus whipped around and looked at the person who threw the ninja star.

Patton, Logan, and Deceit were all standing there. Patton had his left hand up with two other ninja stars in his right hand. Remus crossed his arms.

"Well, well, well... how did you guys get here?" Remus asked.

"Doesn't matter, just let go of them." Patton glared at Remus.

"Not a chance." Remus grinned.

"Then you leave us no choice..." Patton muttered and summoned his shurikens and throwing knives.

Remus smirked as he snapped his fingers and Virgil disappeared out of the cage and reappeared in Remus' arms. Remus summoned a knife and pulled it up to Virgil's throat.

"Why does everyone threaten to kill Virgil...?" Patton muttered. "I feel like this fanfiction is going nowhere..."

"Put him down!" Yelled a voice. Remus turned and saw Roman who was awake and released from the chair.

"How did you-!?" Remus yelled. He then saw Honesty hanging out next to the chair.

Roman unsheathed his sword. "Like I said before. Let him go."

"Not until you give me the crown!" Remus said.

"Why do you want it?"

"Because I want power, that's why-"

"Do you honestly think you deserve it!?" Roman shouted, making everyone stop.

"What...?" Remus muttered.

"A true king has to be dedicated to his kingdom. He has to rule with loyalty, generosity, kindness, and honesty." Roman's voice wavered a bit. "You don't have any of those qualities to rule."

Remus was silent. He had no idea what to say.

"If you don't stop now... what will Rebel think of you?" Roman asked.

Remus' eyes widened. "Mark..."

He looked at Virgil and released him. Virgil collapsed to the floor. Remus stepped back, letting Roman hug his lover.

"Why did you-!?" Circe got cut off.

"Shut up," Remus said. "Your services are no longer of use, Circe. Go back to where you came from."

Circe furrowed her eyebrows. "This won't be the last you'll see of me..."

She disappeared. Remus looked on at the couple who were still embracing.

'So... I didn't get the crown. But, at least I got something better.' Remus thought.

Remus apologized to Purity, the Light Side Leader, for causing trouble. He was let off with a warning but still had to clean the Core Sides' rooms for a week.

Remus had also confessed his love to Marcus, also known as Rebel. Rebel accepted his love and they became boyfriends.

Roman was proud of Remus for not giving in to the power. Remus was also proud that his brother had gotten the opportunity to become King of the Imagination.

His coronation was just a week away...

(One more chapter and I'll end this book. It's been one hell of a journey...)
