Agent Franger got up from his seat and sat down
in the witness box.  Franger didn't even let his eyes pass over Demise 
as he walked up.  Demise assumed he was ashamed at what he was about to 
do.  "Agent Franger how do you know Demise?," Spyre asked.  "Well you see
sir, he is a fellow agent and also my best friend.  I guess it goes 
back to when we two were.....," just then Spyre interrupted Franger.  "Agent
Franger I insist that you stick to just answering the questions in as 
few words as possible."  "Yes, of course sir.  Wouldn't have it any other 
way."  "Ok.  So Demise is your friend?  Would you please tell the court 
what his words to you were on the mission you were to give him a boat 
to use as part of a intel gathering mission?"  "He...he was mad.  Because 
I had lost the boat to an imposter.  He yelled at me and that was that."
"So not only did Demise show emotion once again but he let it take over and 
be directed at you his best friend?"  Franger looked up for a minute 
and then said, "Yes...I guess that is the way it happened."  "Very well 
Franger you will step down," Spyre said.  Franger took his seat quickly 
and still cast no gaze toward Demise.  "I now call AtomFlail of the 
Shadow to the witness box."  The Spyre agents began talking amongst 
themselves.  How could Spyre have let an enemy into the court of Spyre?  
AtomFail entered from another room, blind-folded and escorted by two 
agents.  AtomFlail sat down and then took off the blindfold while one of 
the agents stayed and the other left.  "Now AtomFlail before you are 
questioned I would like to state our agreement to ease some of our agents 
questions and to make it clear to you.  You have agreed to help Spyre in 
this court by answering questions about Demise, as you have first hand 
account of events that no other Spyre agent has seen.  You also have 
agreed to be blind-folded and have no knowledge of where you are.  In 
return you shall be aloud to live and leave our base.  Is that correct?," 
Spyre asked AtomFlail.  Atom nodded.  Atom was a little upset that he 
had been captured by Spyre.  But luckily he had found a way to get out 
alive by just answering a few questions about one of his arch enemies.  
"AtomFlail.  Do you remember seeing Demise at the Kin Shi Tal base?"  
Atom nodded.  "What was his condition?"  AtomFlail signed and a Spyre 
agent translated: "Demise had been caught infultrating the base."  "How 
long did he stay captured?"  "Not long.  He had made a deal with the 
leader of the Kin Shi Tal if they would give him the secret to a sword 
and let him live if he would rescue Kinshiro's daughter from Hyru."  
"In all the time he was captive did he try to kill himself?"  "No.  
He was more interested in getting the secret of the sword."  "So not only 
did he not kill himself but he also made a deal with a enferior enemy?" 
"Yes."  "Very well AtomFlail you will go."  AtomFlail was again blind-folded
and escorted out by the two agents.  "I now call agent Jadax Firestorm 
to the stand," Spyre said.  Jadax looked around as he aroused from his sleep 
by hearing his name.  "Hmmmm..so that's why they wanted me here.  I guess 
I had better get up there if I am going to get out of here anytime soon," 
Jadax thought to himself.  Jadax got up and then took his seat in the 
witness box.  "Jadax, in reference to the last witness, do you know what 
this secret of the sword is that Demise is so interested in?"  "Sure.  I 
can tell you the story on that.  Well you see Demise's brother Sorrow is 
a mage and had his powers taken by a Golden Kin Shi Tal sword.  Demise 
decided he needed to get them back and went to the Kin Shi Tal to get 
the secret."  "Ok.  So he put aside all other orders just to help his 
brother with some trivial thing?"  "Yeah sure," Jadax said.  "Yes?"  
Jadax looked up at Spyre and said, "Yes."  "Did he ever get the powers 
back?"  "Well kind of.  I gave Demise what he needed to get the powers 
back but it didn't work," Jadax looked over at Demise who was staring 
at Jadax with anger, "Demise that blood was real.  I didn't fake it you 
loser.  So just get over it."  Demise pulled on his chains a little and 
spat at Jadax.  Jadax was unimpressed.  "Well Demise I guess you can 
see how you have made other clan members suffer by not following orders 
and in the end you never got Sorrow's powers back."  Demise began blocking 
out the words.  "Jadax you will step down."  "Finally," Jadax said as he 
got down and left the court room.  Spyre just ignored him and continued 
with the trial.  "This court has heard all the charges against Demise, 
the verdict, and the sentence.  Now Demise I am giving you two minutes 
to tell me why I shouldn't kill you."
