Olivia yawned as she looked around. Like usual, the stadium was full. Tons of eager Licht-Fulks all stared back at the two guilds. Ho was floating around the arena, getting his speech ready, and the Queen resided in her box, a large smile on her face as she stared at the crowd down below.
Olivia looked to the queen before her eyes went to the Pantheon guild, who were on the other side of the arena. Whisper stood next to Myth and was casually talking to him. She eyed the vice captain up for several moments before turning her own attention to Laerton and Pock, who stood off to the side.
Like the last few days, Davi, Susie, Max, and Sera were all acting a bit off, and the captains had also seemingly joined them in being a little weird. Laerton wasn't drunk and was actually smiling, something that kept drawing most of the guild's attention to her.
"You okay?" Ken's elbow met her side, and Olivia winced softly. "You're staring a lot."
"Sorry. It's all just a little weird." Olivia admitted.
"Tell me about it," Sieg snorted. "I feel like a lot has happened, and yet I haven't gotten to be part of any of it. What gives? When do I get a chance to show off my skills?"
"You should have come to Olivia's aid," Ken announced smugly. "I showed up and heroically saved her."
"Didn't you almost die and have to be brought back by Vlad?" Sieg frowned.
"I still won!"
"Did you?" Falco folded his arms and frowned at the Cultivator. "That masked dude got away, and we still don't know why he took Davi's sword." His eyes darted over to Davi, who was being a little too chummy with Susie. "I'd love to find out, though."
"Wait your turn." Ghost piped up.
"Ghost is right." Ragna hummed and tugged on his mustache. "We should wait for the signal. So much has happened in so little time, I can't believe Olem has also gone missing."
"It certainly is a little strange," Olivia admitted, giving a weak nod. "I kind of hoped we'd get to do more before things started going wrong, but I guess that was asking for too much, huh? After all, we are part of the Phoenix Flight guild."
"I just wish this were happening at night." Miranda sighed. "I so don't want to be here."
"At least you don't have to do much," Gormay grumbled. "Why am I part of the main plan?"
"You got a useful trait." Clause chuckled and patted the big man on the back. "We need you to do your thing! With you and Vlad, we're bound to get through this, right, Vlad?"
Vlad was lazily seated on the ground, his legs crossed, silently playing on his handheld device, still fully cloaked. He did raise a finger to flip Clause off, though.
"Yeah! Vlad's on board." Clause grinned.
"This was all possible thanks to you." Mama Herta hummed. "You being part of the Pantheon guild made this all possible since they were willing to work with us."
Clause let out a sheepish chuckle and tugged on his beard. "Nonsense. I didn't do much."
"You did enough," Ragna assured. He looked back at the Pantheon guild, and his eyes met Whisper's. "Sometimes, good enough is… Well, good enough."
Olivia bit her lip and looked around at everyone. "I hope this all goes well."
"It will." Ken managed a smile. "I'll do it all myself if I have to."
"Or you can give me a turn," Sieg hummed. "I'm looking forward to doing something."
"Perhaps."
Over with Ho, he finally finished checking his microphone and started to float into the air. "Alright! Ladies and gentlemen!" The little guy announced. "We've come to the third day! Do you know what that means? Only three games left!"
The crowd all cheered in excitement, throwing their hands up and letting out whoops and hollers. The air was infectious, and on any other day, Olivia might have even been excited, but today, all she felt was a strange, bitter resentment. Part of her just wanted this dungeon's story to come to an end. She really wanted to see Davi again and be told everything was okay.
"I hope you're all as excited as I am!" Ho called out, his voice booming. "Because the games for today are going to be extra special! We have a lot in store for you! So, without further ado, let the games begin-"
"Not yet."
Ho froze in midair. All the cheering and the yelling instantly died down, and the crowd looked as confused as Ho was. The queen of the Licht-Fulk was now standing up and peering out over the edge, her eyes staring down at the Phoenix Flight guild. Several guards flanked her, and at every entryway into the stadium, large golems and armed guards stood, blocking everything off. In only a few short moments, the stadium was fully boxed in.
Several mutters went through the crowd of Licht-Fulk, who looked uneasy, especially as guards stood up in the stadiums, revealing they had been hiding.
"What's going on?"
"What's with the sudden atmosphere change?"
"Why are all the exits blocked?"
"Why did the queen halt the games?"
"Is the queen staring at the Phoenix Flight guild?"
"Is everything alright?"
Ho awkwardly cleared his throat. "Um, your highness? May I ask why we're stopping? And why there are suddenly so many guards?"
The queen kept her eyes trained on the Phoenix Flight guild before her gaze went to Myth. "Sir Myth, I am afraid that I must inform you that the members of the Phoenix Flight guild are traitors!" The queen declared.
"What?" Myth looked shocked and stared up at the queen with wide, comical eyes. "What do you mean?" The muttering in the crowd got louder.
"The Phoenix Flight guild attacked my daughter!" The queen yelled out. "They killed her! The princess of the Licht-Fulk race is dead!"
"No!" Myth collapsed to his knees. "That cannot be."
"Their acting sucks," Olivia said flatly.
"Shh. It's just getting good," Ken shushed.
Myth stared back up at the queen. "Captain Laerton would never-"
"I did it!" Laerton declared loudly. "That's right. I killed the princess. I'm tired of my guild being treated badly by the kingdom, and so a bitter hatred of all royalty formed within me, and I took my feelings out on the innocent royal Licht-Fulk family!"
"How could you!" Myth roared out, and Max and Sera had hurt looks on their faces. "We trusted you."
"The Phoenix Flight guild has revealed itself to be full of traitors!" The queen called out. "Myth, my people will aid you. Please help us take these monsters down."
"Of course." Myth nodded, as did Max and Sera. "We must beat them."
"We won't fall so easily," Laerton cackled and drew a sword. Davi and Susie also looked ready for battle. "We will hold out. Phoenix Flight, we must defeat Pantheon! Let's take them down-"
Ragna casually picked up Greenie, who turned into a glaive, and he sliced Captain Laerton's head clean off her body, catching all the Licht-Fulk and the guards completely off guard. While that happened, Sieg slammed his spear directly into Susie's neck, and Gormay grabbed a fistful of Davi's hair and smashed his head into the ground so hard his skull popped.
The queen's eyes widened in shock. "W-What?"
A second later, Myth gurgled as Whisper slit his throat open with her rapier. Max then screamed as Ash slammed an arrow through his eye and out the back of his skull, and Sera only had time to grunt as Battery grabbed her and snapped her neck.
All the corpses crashed to the ground, and their bodies glowed before a pinkish flame coated them, and they reverted to their true forms. Several dead Huli were now scattered where the Knights had fallen.
"Yeah, so we sort of know about your little trick," Whisper called out. "Sorry, but we planned for that. The whole 'use shapeshifters to pretend to be our guildmates and try to get the two sides to kill each other' plan won't be working out. And now, we have you exactly where we want you. You're here, along with most of your forces. Isn't that right, fake queen?"
Several of the guards all gave each other confused looks, unsure of what was happening. They had already been shocked to learn one guild was a traitor, but now two? And why did they say their queen was fake? Also, what was up with those monsters that had been shape-shifted into members of the guild? Some of the guards looked to the queen, some waiting for orders, and some in suspicion.
The queen gritted her teeth. "Those guilds are traitors!" The woman yelled. "They're evil!"
"Oh, save it." Whisper folded her arms and frowned. "The only evil one is you, Huli." The queen flinched. "Yeah, that's right, I know your real name. I was there when the real queen sent the captains somewhere. I watched everything while remaining hidden. I heard all about your little plan that you came up with with your boss. You wanted to make us think our captains had gone crazy and use the chance to wipe us both out, but that won't be happening. I've already told the Phoenix Flight guild everything, and all of us have been made aware of your little stunt. Now we're all in this arena together, and you've brought several of your guards out here. Guards who are likely starting to wonder if you're really the queen. Spoiler, she isn't!"
Blood dripped down the queen's hand as her nails dug into her palm, and her teeth kept grinding together. "She's wrong. Guards! Kill her-"
"No!" A voice declared, and several of the guards turned to find two new figures had appeared at the entrance to the arena. Sunny stepped forward along with Princess Ever. The fake queen's eyes filled with hate as her gaze landed on the princess. "That woman is not my mother." Ever declared. "She tried to have me assassinated."
"You should be dead." The queen yelled out. "I watched my clones kill you?" Both the Huli clones, which looked like Laerton and Myth, had killed the princess and Sunny, yet here they were. Their deaths were meant to be the proof she needed to start this stunt, but they were alive? "How?"
"An illusion." Whisper chuckled. "Geez, you're kinda dumb, you fell for it so easily. I made it back to the palace once I learned what was going on and showed up just in time to see you attacking them. I used my magic and put an illusion up to mask their escape and made you think you killed them. It's a good thing you never bothered to show the bodies to your boss; he'd have seen through it instantly. Luckily, you're pretty stupid."
"Guards." Princess Ever spoke loudly. "That woman is a monster who tried to take my life and framed the guilds. She must not be allowed to leave this place alive."
Pink fire flared around the queen, and her disguise fully dropped since there was no more point in keeping it up. Huli glared down at everyone, her tails whipping through the air and smacking the ground hard enough to crack the stone. She began to laugh softly. "Oh, I don't even know why we bothered to do all this, honestly. Rage can beat you all. He has no need to pretend, but that masked man put all those silly ideas in his head, and because of their history, the great master decided to obey. Whatever. I like it better this way. We can do what monsters do best. Slaughter."
Both guilds drew their weapons or wands or got their spells ready, as did all the guards, as the kitsune stood up on the ledge of her balcony and sneered down at everyone.
"Though, with all that planning, I think you made a big mistake," Huli growled, and her body began to glow with a pink light. Suddenly, a second Huli appeared, then a third, and a fourth. Each with sharp jagged claws or fanged teeth. "This stadium is filled with Licht-Fulk! Can you all go all out and defend them at the same time-"
Whisper snapped, and all the seated Licht-Fulk who had gone strangely quiet vanished. "Oh yeah, that was an illusion also!"
"What?" Huli screeched, clearly caught off guard.
"We decided to play along until we got to the arena since it would be a good way to draw you out," Whisper explained. "I knew we could convince everyone you were a fake and show all the guards if we waited till this point, which is why we came down to the arena. Of course, we didn't want to actually endanger anyone, so the night before, Sky went around and used her magic to charm all the Licht-Fulk into a deep slumber. When they wake up, they won't even know any of this happened. They're all safe and secure."
The entire city was asleep, and Huli, wanting to end everything as soon as possible, hadn't even bothered to notice how much quieter everything was outside of the arena. From the very beginning, the trap that the masked man had told them to do had fallen apart at every step of the way.
"Fuck you." Huli spat out. "Don't think you're better than me. You're not. All of you are worthless. I am-"
"Dead." Whisper called out. "We've also been ready to snipe you!"
As if on cue, Sieg and Ash launched their arrows, lightning and wind blasting toward the royal box and plowing through the strongest Huli. She exploded in a hail of pink fire, and before the other clones could think of reacting, Battery and Clause launched toward them. Battery swung his swords out and literally ran on the air, slicing through his Huli while Clause used a Mana Step and flickered up to the box and slammed his massive war hammer through the rest of them, splattering them all.
In only a few seconds all the Huli were dead and the arena was blanketed in silence.
"That was easy." Ragna hummed.
Sieg shook his head. "No, those weren't the real Huli's."
"They weren't?"
"The real one can heal," Olivia spoke up. "I remember her and that Lung guy doing it when the captain fought them. Dang, that was so long ago."
"The real one is likely at the castle." Mama Herta noted. "That's also where the boss is, if I had to guess."
"Yeah, probably," Miranda hummed. "Gormay, you're ready, right? The next stage of the plan does involve you, after all."
Gormay just grunted and folded his arms. "I'll do whatever it is you need me for, but I expect a good reward later."
As he was talking, several of the Pantheon guild members walked over, led by Whisper. "Looks like the first stage went down smoothly." The illusion mage announced, a large smile on her face. "We're hardly down, though. We still need to deal with the big one."
"What are we waiting for?" Ken punched her fist into an open palm and gave a wide grin. "Let's go kick some ass."
"It won't be that simple." Sunny and the princess also walked over. "Several guards are still likely to be at the castle. Many of them won't have known what happened here and are going to be on alert. Those monsters likely sensed what just happened and will be getting ready for our attack and will use the guards as meat shields. I know it is selfish to ask, but please don't kill any of them."
"Don't worry." Whisper gave him a soft smile. "We don't plan on it. We'll try to convince as many as we can once we get there. It'll be easier with all of you. Those who don't believe us or can't be convinced will be put to sleep by Sky or knocked out by Ragna and Clause."
"Thank you." Sunny let out a relieved sigh.
Olivia smiled and looked to the princess. "Don't worry, ma'am, we'll get your kingdom back."
Princess Ever gave a relieved nod. "I have faith in you all. You're friends with Davi after all. I also have faith that he'll somehow show up when he's needed most."
"He does tend to do that," Ken agreed. "He'd better arrive. And he had better bring the captains also! We could use the firepower."
"Oh, you don't think you can handle everything yourself?" Sieg teased. "Character growth?"
"No! I so can beat everything," Ken declared.
"We'll have to see who the MVP is." Falco decided. "Let's all see who does the best out of all the Knights, and that person can marry the princess!"
"What?" Princess Ever raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't that still the reward?" Falco asked, tilting his head.
"No…"
"Dang."
The Princess shook her head. "You guys are all odd." Then she smiled and turned toward the castle. "Still, I feel more confident having this group at my side. I know not of what awaits us when we arrive, but I know that somehow we will win. The forces who have attacked my kingdom will not get away with the crimes!"
Several of the guards all cheered loudly, and the march to the castle began.
Meanwhile, somewhere deep below the castle, Rage stalked around, gazing at the large core that helped to power the sun outside. Blood dripped down his gums as he made his way over to the twisting construct of metal and reached out, placing his hand upon it.
'Mother! Let me out, Mother! I wish to slaughter! Mother!'
"Mother?" Rage's lips quivered, and more blood flowed from his mouth. "I am not your mother. I am far, far from the being that she was, yet I have walked the path that she did. I have gazed upon the infinite abyss of nothingness, and it stared back at me. Its white hands molded me. Tore me apart and rebuilt me with a new tale in mind. I am the Sea God. I am the being of the depth of the ocean where the sun doesn't shine and darkness flows like endless waves. I am the abyss, and the abyss is me. So, who might you be?"
'...I am… Mother's favorite.'
Rage stared at the core. "Do you wish to leave this shell?"
'Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, eys-sye,s,sheshewsyhewsheswhsahshksqawhkDshkakhsdAKHJDASJKHDSAHKBJDSakhjdsakhjbdsfAKBHDSAkjh;dsafkhbfdkajhakhbjfkhbjfakjhbnfdkhjfdafsdabhfdsahnfdhuisnkkujlfdnciufdsakvcm-=[]\|';./,!@#$%%^^&*&^%)()()()_++++++++ Error 404-'
Rage turned away from the spewing nonsense. "Well, that's too bad." His lips continued to quiver. "Because the only thing I hate more than the seven bastards that ruined the world is the race of demons. Rot in there."
',.,/;'[]\|=-!@#$%^&*()'
"Rot." Rage left, leaving behind the mechanical screaming of the core.
