(N/N) unconsciously shrinks back into her throne. Although she does not want to believe it, denial ripping through her mind she couldn't help it but she knows this is the truth.



Everything she'd ever know about Hela's plan was just mentioned right in front of her by people that had no way of knowing anything Hela had said to her.



Add in her lost grimoire... and a few strange objects she'd discovered in her satchel... (N/N) was very grateful that she'd chosen to sit down otherwise she would have fallen down from how dizzy she was from her head spinning at that moment.



Echo had taken it upon himself to stand next to (Y/N)'s throne. One hand on the armrest of the throne the other gently stroking her hair in an attempt to soothe her.



(N/N) shifts her head a bit on her hand but doesn't lift it from it. "Are they doing ok?" Ronin whispered to Queen Selma.



Queen Selma looked over at the Monsters; all of whom had been stunned into silence and were rather spaced out at the moment.



"I just think they're in shock. It's best if we just let them work through this and don't upset them." Queen Selma said, offering her advice on the situation.



"So... Now is not a good time to tell her that Hela came back?" Ronin carefully whispered to Queen Selma believing that everyone else was too dazed to hear them speak.



"WHAT!?" (N/N) roared as she lept out of the throne. Her eyes glowed with unyielding rage. The Monsters started to panic or break down into full-blown fits of hysteria at the news of Hela's return.



Ronin stumbled backwards over some chairs on up onto the table in a desperate attempt to reach some sort of unattainable safety as (N/N) stormed towards him.



A strong essence of power flowing off of her matched only by the look of murderous intent on (N/N)'s face caused Ronin to shout over and over again; almost like a chant to protect himself from her unholy wrath. "YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED HER! SHE'S DEAD, AGAIN! YOU GOT HER!"



"(N/N)! Make him tell us everything he knows of Hela!" The Siren of Seaguard ordered. Without hesitation (N/N) lept upon the table, seized Ronin by the throat like some mighty predator and lifted him effortlessly into the air.



"TELL THEM EVERYTHING YOU KNOW! NOW!!!" She roared at the terrified thief. Ronin struggled to talk with his windpipe being crushed. Ronin desperately clawed at his throat in a vain attempt to breathe once more.



"SPEAK!" (N/N) roared again. This time pulling Ronin towards her face so her prey could see into her rage-filled eyes. As if daring him to defy her once more.



"S-s-she came-e ba-ck." Ronin croaked out. The lack of oxygen causing him to blackout slightly. Monsters both ancient and young quaked in fear. "We're going to die!" One Forest Monster hysterically wailed to the others.



"Ninjago." Ronin managed to get out as (N/N) finally eased her grip on his throat allowing the thief to take in a big gulp of air.



A mixture of fear, anger and confusion pulsed through (N/N)'s entire body. Her stomach churned as she remembered her last fight against Hela. She was so sure she'd finished that vile woman off! She'd even thrown her into the lava to ensure there were no remains. How had Hela gotten away!? (N/N) was determined to find out and demand answers from the thief in front of her.



"Keep talking!" (N/N) coldly demanded as she reinstated her grip on Ronin's throat. "She took over the Preeminent... Raised... An army... Evil ghosts... You fa-ught her... De-stroyed her... Dead..." Ronin wheezed out as the world started to fade in and out as cold eyes studied him closely and the Monsters had started to simmer down at.



"How do you know this?" The Siren of Seaguard demanded. Not entirely convinced that this human's claims were even true. (N/N) eyes quickly glanced to the Siren before returning to Ronin's



"Answer them!" (N/N) growled at the thief. "Soul Archer. O-owned my soul. He-e made me h-help them." Ronin confessed to the panicked crowd of monsters.



(N/N) eyes quickly glanced to her people, they had heard all they needed to hear and were now hungry for blood. This Human had worked for Hela, willing or not he deserved death as far as they were concerned.



"Just dispose of him, he is of no use to us." Baron Badwood hissed out trying to seem braver than he'd been just a few moments beforehand shortly followed by a course of cheering from his fellow Forest Monsters joined in by a few sea monsters.



"He worked for her!" A voice from the crowd bellowed at the top of their lungs. "Finish him!" Another cried out. "He worked for the Queen of Darkness!"



"(Y/N) don't! Ronin didn't work for her. He was being forced to by Soul Archer. It wasn't his fault." Dareth protested. "Let the stupid thief go!" Mezmo called out over the vicious howls of the bloodthirsty crowd of monsters looking for vengeance against Hela.



"(Y/N), don't hurt him." Lasha shouted. "Don't do it, (Y/N)!" Chokun loudly stated. "Stop! Ronin made up for his misdeeds." Snappa added. "He helped you stop her! He's your friend!" Queen Selma pleaded with (N/N) though it appeared to be a fruitless effort. (N/N) was only swayed by her people's demands.



(N/N)'s eyes coldly glowed, her people's will was known. The compulsion to do their bidding was just too great for a simple weapon not to obey their combined will.



Her now vacant eyes glance towards Ronin's neck. "She could easily kill him, just crush his windpipe and watch him squirm..." (N/N) thought to herself.



"(Y/N)! NO! STOP!" Echo shouted to get her to stop. Instantly Ronin was sent clattering to the floor. Ronin took in a huge breath as he coughed and spluttered.



Some of the Forest Monsters lightly booed; they had wanted to see the human die. Though they had enjoyed the show.



All the while (N/N) just stood atop of the grand table blinked in surprise staring at her empty right hand. Completely lost in thought over what had just occurred.



It was a strange feeling for (N/N); She had just disobeyed but she had also... obeyed? At the same time.



Pythor took this moment to slither back into the room following after The Elm of the Dark Realm.



"Well... If you're done with your little meeting. This fine gentleman and I have come to an... understanding." Pythor claimed as he nodded towards the Elm of the Dark Realm who was glancing at them with his twisted visage and let out a slight chuckle.



The other Serpentine gathered at this meeting felt the scales on the back of their necks stand on end at hearing this creature's vile chuckling.



Dareth was fussing over the gasping Ronin who was sprawled across the cold floor as he struggled to regain his breath. Echo also by his side trying to comfort him.



But Ronin's eyes remained locked onto (Y/N). You see he'd just figured something out, something very important, so important he was sure the Ninja would pay a hefty price to learn this vital nugget of information.



After all, Ronin smirked to himself. He just gambled his life on finding this out.

As the meeting quieted back down and returned to the subject at hand. The Treble Makers and Queen Selma felt it best that Ronin and Dareth return to the ninjas for now.



Ronin pulled Echo aside just as they were leaving. "Echo listen. Stick by her side. You're the key to getting everyone out of this mess. If the Monsters try to make her hurt anyone, tell her to stop; she'll listen to you. Whether she wants to or not." Ronin whispered to the copper Nindroid before he and Dareth were escorted out.



Echo nodded that he somewhat understood the bounty hunter/thief before turning his gaze to (Y/N).



Echo immediately stood next to her on the throne she was sitting on. The monsters hissed at the Nindroid but Echo paid them no mind; he was completely dedicated to his task of watching over (Y/N).



Right now it looked as though she was paying attention to the mediation between the Serpentine and the sea/forest monsters. In truth, however, Echo had noticed that her attention was truly fixated on her right hand more specifically on her dragon-shaped birthmark.



Echo reached over and started to trace it. (N/N) growled at Echo for having the nerve to do that. But otherwise did not respond. Due to the fact this creature's actions were almost soothing the bizarre pain, she was feeling emanating from the mark.



It was as though every nerve under the birthmark was on fire and freezing at the same time. That's all the sensation (N/N) could register from the pain coursing through her birthmark.



And here was this copper Nindroid at least this is what (N/N) thought the Serpentine had claimed what his species was called. His hand felt similar to rusted metal and for some weird reason, this feeling was soothing to her. As though it was like a forgotten cherished memory.



(N/N) was tugged out of her thoughts thanks to the feeling of the cold, metal hand against the skin on her forearm gently pulling away.



(N/N) looked up at everyone gathered with bored, tired eyes. As the Monsters and the Serpentine continued to hammer out an agreement both sides could work with.



"(N/N)?" Echo quietly asks the startled awake girl. "Did you like this?" (N/N) stares at his face. The look on Echo's face reminds (N/N) of a hopeful child anticipating praise from their parent. So, (N/N) nods and Echo's face breaks out into a bright grin.

Dareth watched as Ronin was practically prancing around in excitement he told Dareth to let him do all the talking once they got to the Ninjas.



The giddy thief continued to go on about how he was going to make so much bank off of this. Although poor Dareth was still scratching his head at these claims Ronin was making.



Dareth didn't understand what had made the thief turned mercenary so jovial but what he could piece together out of Ronin's sporadic ravings was that the mercenary had figured something out about (Y/N)'s or rather (N/N) as she was called in this realm condition that everyone else had managed to miss. And was going to sell the info to the Ninjas.



That was another thing Dareth couldn't figure out. The Ninja's had no money. They were seriously bad with money he honestly doubted if they had any money on them right now. They were even dumb enough that they let Kai negotiate for them. Kai.



But Dareth watched as the wheels in Ronin's head were beginning to turn at this small development he had made.



"Hey, Ronin?" Dareth asked quietly. "Yes?" Ronin responded as they kept walking their goal almost in sight. "Aren't you worried?" Dareth questioned the mercenary. "Worried about what?" Ronin retorted as they made it up to the Fortrex.



"About (Y/N) anyone who crosses her gets their comeuppance." Dareth warned his friend. "You of all people should know that?" Dareth pointed out.



Ronin burst out into a small fit of hysterical laughter. "Oh, Dareth. My dear friend. That's the thing." Ronin giggled with a wide grin spread across his face. "There isn't going to be any comeuppance."



"Well, not for me at least. As long as I do all the talking." Ronin admitted slyly before throwing his arm around Dareth's shoulders. "Now let me handle this and soon we'll have our girl back in no time." Ronin promised the Zoojitzu Master as the drawbridge of the Fortex opened allowing the pair inside.
