Guardian: Looking for this???........pointing to the sack. He takes it away.
Alvania looks at him and then closes her eyes, a bright blue aura envelops her and makes Alvania float in the air.
As the Guardian stares at her he suddenly feels a hand grab his sack of limestones.
He turns and sees another Alvania!!
Alvania strikes him down with a strong swing of her arm, the sack of limestones hitting him!!
The Guardian is knocked out! Alvania projects herself back to her own body.
As the fighting continues, Houjun shouts to Alvania: Go!! Release your mother! We will keep them busy!!
Alvania runs towards her Mother's tower. As she reaches it, she places the limestones around the barrier and immediately the barrier disintegrates! Alvania grabs her Mother and they leave the tower. As they reach the bottom of the tower, Alvania is surprised .....................to see Souleater and the Liberation Army waiting for them!
Alvania: souleater....what?!
Souleater: I'm here to help!!!
Alvania: thanx!!!but I must hurry.......my mother...
Souleater: i know........u take one of my men to protect u.....i'm going to help the others......
Alvania and her mother proceed back to camp.
Kakurine in the meanwhile is growing restless and worried. Where is the scout team? She sent Souleater andher Liberation Army to check them out since they have been gone for a long while. Did anything bad happen to them?
Kakurine decides she has to take drastic action.
Kakurine: Soldiers, bring Morg and Bashani here!
The Herodian prisoners are brought to Kakurine.
Kakurine: Talk!!! I want to know everything about Ferciol, his defenses, his weakness and where he is located!
Bashani: Ha! You will never find him. He is a clever leader!
Morg: We wont talk!!! We are loyal to Ferciol!!!
Kakurine: Lets see how loyal you are after this!!
Kakurine signals her soldiers to tie up the prisoners in a field. A squad of archers line up in front of the prisoners.
Morg: You are not that cruel!!! You cannot kill us!!!
Kakurine: What use do I have of you anyway? Our enemies must die! Talk or die!!
Kakurine raises her hand at the archers, Archers pull back deadly arrows with their bows, ready to strike the 2 frightened prisoners.
Kakurine: Ready archers!!!! at my signal!!!
Bashani starts to squirm. "Noooo! wait!" Ferciol knows all your powers!"
Morg: Shut up Bashani!!! you traitor!!!
Bashani: I dont want to die!!! Ferciol is in the third tower but he has a gem that can teleport you there! He also has one of you at his side, her name is Teresa!!
Kakurine and the others are stunned.
Bashani: Kill the 3 rings and Ferciol will die!
Morg: Shut up! Shut up! Ferciol will kill you when he hears you betrayed him!
Bashani: We're going to die anyway you moron!!! See those archers?"
Then out of nowhere,Screams are heard at the camp......loud piercing screams.
Kakurine: What the????
Stealth: Uhmmm, actually the White Wolves themselves had the same idea as you, ma'm Kakurine......seems "Torture" is the word for today!
Stealth grins.
Stealth: If I wasn't an honorable Knight, I could join them!! heheheheh!
The White Wolves are busy at the prison barracks.
Sojirou: Talk!!! grrrrrrr or do you want to lose your head? She holds the prisoner Herodian's head tightly, placing her dagger at its neck.
Iris and other white wolves hold a rope lowering a poor Herodian into a pool of boiling oil!
Iris: Tell us where the entrance is to the fortress!!!
Chidori is busy inserting sharp needles into a Herodian's toes!!!
The Herodian screams in pain!
Chidori: Give up? You talk now!!Grrrrr or I start with your fingers!!!
The Herodian's eyes grow bigger as he nears the pool of boiling oil.
Iris: Fried Herodian coming up!!! He'll be cooked in a few minutes!!! Supper everyone?
The Herodian screams. "Nooooooooooo"
Chidori: Ho hum!!! Here, you can use him as a pin cushion!!! as she looks at her prisoner's toes imbedded with needles!
Herodian: Nooooooo! Stop! I will talk...enough!! enough!!
Everyone looks at the hanging Herodian.
Herodian: Pls. dont boil me!
Chidori gives the signal and they put him down.
1st Herodian: The way to the Fortress is by air......The drawbridge has to be lowered before you can enter the three towers.
2nd Herodian: Please!! I will also talk! Remove the needles!!
Chidori: Okay talk!!!! What else?
2nd Herodian: Ferciol is in one of those towers but there are booby traps.
Sojirou: What do I do with this one? She holds up its head to strike.
3rd Herodian: Arrrrgh! No!!!! There is a map but someone has it. She is in a tower!
Alvania walks in and hears this.
Alvania: He is right. Its my Mother who has it. She's the one who can guide you thru that Fortress!
Chidori: Alvania!! you made it back!! Good for you!! Did you see the three towers?
Alvania looks puzzled.
Alvania: Three? We only saw two towers.
Chidori turns towards the Herodian prisoners. They tremble in fear, seeing her wrath.
Chidori: Grrrrr! You didnt tell us everything!!!
2nd Herodian: I said Fe...Fe..Ferciol is in one of those towers! Aaaarrrrk!.....He chokes as Chidori lifts him up, his legs dangling.
Chidori: There are only 2 towers!! Where's the third one?
She slams the Herodian against the wall.
Sojirou: Ouch!! that must have hurt!
3rd Herodian speaks up.
There is a gem that teleports you to Ferciol's "secret" tower, you must find it. We ourselves do not know where it is."
Sapphira: At nasaan itong "gem" na ito? ha!!!!
3rd Herodian, trembling: uh..uh..uh...its a big Ruby stone, just look for it!
Chidori proceeds to tell Kakurine about the new information.
