[University of Foranea, 26th of After Witching, Year 427: 4:41 PM]

The university campus was no longer a place for students and professors coming and going. It was replaced by another installation base. Lukas entered the campus and headed to the library picking up some books before his fellow brethren would burn into ashes. He became more vigilant and tactful, since he had spoken his native tongue to the Chergari soldiers.

Lukas quickly stacked a bunch of books to bring to a safe location. He looked around to make sure there weren't any guards nearby. Suddenly, he heard some threshold coming from the distance. They seemed to be marching boots stomping on the floor. Somehow, he wanted to make another excuse from the soldiers.

" Verdammt, " Lukas said with frustration. "I need to come up with another excuse."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the library door.

" Come in, " Lukas answered.

The door was opened which turned out to be Leutnant-Oberst Metus Von Krieger who crossed his both arms and frowned at him.

" Wie lange werden Sie dort bleiben, Professor Wolf? Wir werden das Gebäude abreißen! (How long are you going to take there, Professor Wolf? We are going to demolish the building!) " he sternly asked. " Weitere 30 Minuten sind völlig inakzeptabel! (Another 30 minutes is totally unacceptable!) "

" Ein paar Minuten mehr sind alles, was Ich brauche (A few more minutes is all I need). Es gibt einige Bücher, die von chergarischen Beamten gerettet werden sollen (There some books requested by the Chergarian official to be saved)." Lukas said as he tried to create another excuse.

" Wer ist dieser Beamte von uns?! (Who is this official of ours?!) " Metus cocked his eyebrows in doubt.

" Herr Gerlach, " Lukas answered, hoping to convince Metus.

" You know Gerlach? " Metus asked.

" I've met him a few times." Lukas said as nervously continue to stack the books hoping that his excuse was accepted.

" Ah, that Dunkel Jäger officer, " the high ranking officer laughed. " So, I assume you are doing research, ja? "

" Ja. Very important research and is quite classified." Lukas answered Metus.

" Wirklich?! " he raised his tone curiously and gave him an amicable smile. " Well, then. You may proceed. "

" Danke." Lukas gratefully said and sighed in relief as he continued stacking books quickly.

Metus grinned and closed the door, leaving the professor for the meantime.

" Once I gathered enough books. I'll bring them to a secure place where these damn savages won't destroy it, " Lukas quietly said as he continued his work.

Suddenly, he heard some footsteps within the library, but they were different from the Chergarians. A tall silver haired ranger elf and a dark haired chubby physician-professor came from the library's hallway when he got startled to see them. Lukas recognised Doctor Smolder Ryliea within the campus.

" Dr. Ryliea? What are you doing here? They'll demolish the building any minute now, " Lukas asked with concern.

" We have come from the Eluvian as Madame Anaedaere just mentioned, " Smolder replied.

" You came to assist me in bringing these books back safely to Dread Wolves Tribe Village, " Lukas asked.

" Oui, " Smolder nodded and turned to Christopher.

" We understood that these are important documents from humans, " the ranger elf replied.

" Ja. It's also quite an important history that people should know about." Lukas explained as he stacked up more books. "Help me with the last of the books. We need to hurry back to the village before they demolish this building."

" Sure, " Christopher said and turned to his ranger elves gesturing to gather all the books.

Lukas nodded and smiled, " Danke."

Lukas, Smolder, Christopher, and the ranger elves from the Dread Wolves Tribe started stacking up the books which they collected. Some of them had come and gone to the Eluvian. In a span of two hours, the books from the library were no longer on the shelves.

Just then, the ranger elf general and his subordinates overheard the conversation from the outside. They were observing the entire two hours. Suddenly, they banged the door. Lukas, you and Smolder nervously exchanged glances.

" Sie haben uns angelogen, Professor Wolf! Wir haben alles gesehen! (You lied to us, Professor Wolf! We have seen it all!) " one of the soldiers heatedly retorted.

" Verdammt! " Lukas said with frustration. " Seems my excuse didn't work after all. We need to hurry and leave this building."

" Oui, " Smolder nodded. " We need to get back to the Eluvian. "

" Grab the remaining book and let's go," Lukas anxiously said to Smolder and Christopher.

Christopher carried the books as Smolder also did the same. The rest of the elves joined along with the three. Suddenly, the library doors were badly hit by barraging bullets from the Chergarian soldiers.

" They're going to breach through the door. We need to leave now! " Lukas anxiously warned.

" Everyone, to the Eluvian! " the long silver haired elf commanded.

Lukas joined everyone at the Eluvian to teleport to the Dread Wolves Tribe Village. The rest of the elves had rushed away from the bullets and hurriedly stepped into the mirror. The Chergarian soldiers arrived and entered the library as Metus Von Krieger commanded them, however there was no presence of Professor Lukas Wolf, Doctor Smolder Ryliea, and anyone from the Dread Wolves Tribe. The Lieutenant Colonel angrily muttered and growled.

[Dread Wolves Tribe Village, 26th of After Witching, Year 427: 7:24 PM]

The books from the University of Foranea were finally kept in the storage facility. Lukas sighed in relief, seeing all of them organized on the shelves. He turned to Doctor Ryliea and thought of talking to him. The pyrokinetic doctor and medical professor finished his check-up and treated the injuries from the elves who joined him.

"It's good to see all this knowledge safely stored away and destroyed by the Chergarian Umbral followers." Lukas said before he sighed with sadness. " But it made me realize how much this country has fallen. It's going to be Robania all over again, isn't it? "

" Oui, " Smolder also heavily sighed and closed his bag. " I have seen things back when I was a Foranean Army physician. The war in Robania was definitely a life changing experience. Two years after that terror, I left the Army and dedicated myself to teaching at the university. I understand your sentiment, Lukas. Now, our common ground has been plagued by psychotic and ruthless bastards. "

" Foranea is slowly succumbing to the same fate of Robania. Everything people are doing to stop these cold-hearted and relentless Chergarians is not enough and it's in vain, " Lukas sadly said.

" Oui, " he nodded. " I presume you met some people who left your country? "

" Ivo Matthias Augustin-Fischer and Chirox Friedrich," Lukas answered.

" Oh, them! I remember! So, you helped Chirox translate a document in Chergari, right? "

Lukas nodded at Smolder, " Correct, I've assisted him in translating an important file on Robanian Zenigen Crystals. My father was one of the people who researched these minerals."

" So, can this precious mineral cure those mutated people? "

" Ja. Sadly most places where the Zenigen Crystals can be found in Robania has been depleted, due to countless mining by Chergarian Umbral worshippers. There might not be a lot of places left that contain these medicinal minerals." Lukas explained.

" Right, " he sadly sighed and seriously spoke. " I believe there are more mutated people to benefit from this. Mutating the genes by Umbral means is forbidden. I know who exactly did it. "

" Who? " Lukas curiously asked.

" Docteur Mutran Pankraz Günther, another madman from the cult, " Smolder replied.

" So he's the one experimenting and mutating innocent people? No one was able to find and apprehend yet? " Lukas asked with concern.

" I guess you need to speak to Docteur Montmartre, " Smolder suggested.

Lukas nodded at Smolder, " I should talk to him about Günther and the Zenigen Crystals as well."

" Well, I hope he's available tomorrow morning, " he replied.

" Ja. I hope so as well." Lukas said in agreement.

" Well, only the Eluvian is our chance to talk to him. "

" Do we have a Eluvian available in the Dread Wolves Tribe Village?" Lukas asked.

" Oui, " the raven pyrokinetic doctor nodded and queried. " Would you like to come to my tent, Lukas? "

Lukas nodded at Smolder. "Ja."

Smolder gestured to Lukas to go to the tent when he and his wife greeted. Lukas walked to the tent and entered it to use the Eluvian. A grey haired woman smiled in greeting and welcomed the guest to enter the house tent.

'" Bonsoir, you must be Professeur Lukas Solomon Wolf, " the dark haired woman greeted the visitor and smiled. " I have heard from this community that you and some people have kept all of those books from the university. "

" You'll be correct. I just couldn't see a bunch of knowledge and important historical documents be destroyed at the hand of Umbral cultists, " Lukas explained to the woman.

" D'accord, Très Bien, " she agreed. " I believe the next generation of Foraneans need to learn from these important things. By the way, my name's Charlotte Ryliea, Smolder's wife. I used to be a government employee before this entire mess had happened. "

" It's great to meet you, Charlotte. You're one of the many government employees who escaped from the Chergarian takeover of Foranea? " Lukas curiously asked.

" Oui, " Charlotte heavily sighed and replied. " Me and my colleagues got terminated when Mayor Spiriah Reinhart took over. I believe former Mayor Fernal was forced to declare his public resignation in office. "

Smolder gently patted his wife's back to comfort her.

" My condolences, no one deserves to lose their job especially when it's important as running a city or country's government, " Lukas humbly said.

" Merci beaucoup, professeur, " she smiled slightly. " By the way, have you eaten supper? "

Lukas shook his head at Charlotte, " Nein, I haven't."

Smolder looked at his wife and curiously asked, " You still got some leftovers for us? "

" Oui, " she nodded and turned to Lukas. " Oh, would you like to eat first? "

" Of course. Danke. I appreciate this." Lukas smiled.

As the children had finished eating, Lukas and Smolder took their meals and ate. A few minutes later, the two men were in the Eluvian and talked to Amnon from the other side. Lukas was pleased to meet the blonde bespectacled Akrovian-Foranean doctor.

" Dobryy vecher! Bonsoir! " he warmly greeted them in two languages.

" Bonsoir, Amnon! " Smolder greeted his fellow physician. " A fellow professor from a different faculty at the uni has come to see you. "

"Hallo. Lukas Solomon Wolf. It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Montmartre." He introduced himself.

" I'm pleased to meet you, Professeur Wolf. Docteur Amnon Joseph Montmartre, " Amnon responded. " I believe my older brother has mentioned you to me, da? "

" Indeed. I've told you about my father and his research on the Zenigen Crystals." Lukas answered.

" I think I saw them from my friend Bruno Gerhardt and the Blue Knight just a day ago. It turned out to be five crystals for five people, " Amnon explained. " Yet, there are more mutated people that need to be cured. "

" Only five Zenigen Crystals? " Lukas heavily sighed. " Verdammt. I thought there would be enough to cure the mutated people."

" Da. I have chosen the first five candidates as Zenigen recipients. If only we can get more from that lost country, there must be several people to be cured. "

" I've met someone who might know where we can find more Zenigen Crystals." Lukas revealed.

" Really? Do you think he can help us? " Smolder asked.

" If so, can you tell us his name? " Amnon chimed in.

" He's a Robanian that used to be a miner in his home country. His name is Mati Haugas, " Lukas answered.

" Wait, is he one of those Robanian exiles which my late father had ordered them to migrate to Foranea? "

Lukas nodded at Amnon, " Correct. "

" It seems like the late Senateur Montmartre's work was never in vain at all. Droit, camarade? " Smolder grinned at his junior fellow.

" Oui, droit, " Amnon nodded and slightly smiled at his older friend. Then, he turned to Lukas and asked, " Do you know where he is currently? "

" Nein. Mati left Saint-Rose after the town was invaded. I met him three months ago and don't know where he's at now, " Lukas sadly said.

Amnon heavily sighed and understood that the town was invaded around a month or two ago, last year. Smolder looked at his younger friend and felt sorry for him.

The pyrokinetic doctor broke his silence and assured, " Perhaps, we can see him alive despite the town being in ruins. I hope Monsieur Haugas has escaped as well. "

" Mati is my wife's cousin as well. We've visited her elderly parents in Montmau. Elena planned to rejoin me in Monoceros Keep around Candlemas." Lukas explained.

" Then, I assume they couldn't come here, " Smolder said.

" That Candlemas Attack, Smolder, " Amnon interjected. " I presume they were afraid to move here. Another thing, the invasion in Montnau is very concerning. "

" So, the Blue Knight just saw everything, right? "

" Da. "

" I hope we can meet him along the way, Professeur, " Amnon assured. " Once I visit the village, my friends and I need to check some patients. You will be observing the properties of the Zenigen crystals to the five recipients. "

[Durand Mansion, 26th of After Witching, Year 427: 9:12 PM]

Odette was trying to find any news or music from the radio. Turning the dial the older woman mumbled to herself, wanting to find something that met her personal tastes.

" Shouldn't my regular station be on right now? What's keeping it? " Odette questionably asked.

She couldn't find anything from the radio as you kept switching the stations. They were all Chergarian marching songs and speeches from President Neforie and General Höllegard. Some of them were political and war agendas. She doubted since she had received a phone call from Docteur Hugo McCoy yesterday about what happened to Monoceros Keep General Hospital. She was alarmed and anxious of such anticipation from these influencers.

" All the stations are...Chergarian..." Odette shook her head in annoyance, yet with feeling a little nervousness. She tried again on finding a station." Dr.McCoy...is his theory coming true? Is everything changing so quickly?! "

" Is everything alright, dear? " Wilma asked with concern and stood on the doorway.

Odette sighed in finally giving up, and turned to her wife with the same wariness." All the channels of the radio are playing CherGarian material...and not the regular programming. Snow Flake."

" Some war and political nonsense from President Neforie, " Wilma sadly spoke. " If Radio Foranea still exists, we would never listen to that garbage. "

" Garbage, his entire propaganda is only trying to insight those true believers....all this rubbish can give one a nasty headache. Honey." Odette turned off the radio, and set it down." I couldn't suspect the paper is no longer giving any positive headlines, either."

" Well, the only thing we have here is the telephone and magic mirror. "

" Generally our only trusted resource that can't get eavesdropped on." Odette gestured at the oval shaped mirror." Anything else we've relied on. Is no longer safe to trust nowadays." She slides a hand down Wilma's arm." Did anyone contact us just recently? "

" I think we have Glenda and her husband to talk to these days. "

" Amnon and his wife are off work, and this can bring us a good talk, in order to pass the time. Snow Flake." Odette smiled and went to the mirror." Is your coworker, Michelle, still at the hospital?."

" The hospital is gone, Odette, " she sadly sighed. " The rest of our staff and patients remain at Church of St. Isaiah. "

" Is the Church under the supervision of any of our allies? A security force to watch over it, Snow Flake? " Odette asked, disheartened with remembering her days of working there, in her past life.

" Yes, it's Father Agapov's care, " she assured. " We hope that our allies are there to protect them. "

Odette focused on the mirror when a short haired blonde woman in her thirties carrying a baby sat on the bed and waited for her husband in the shower. Dr. Glenda Montmartre recognised the people from the other side.

" Good evening, Odette, Wilma! " she happily greeted them. " I didn't expect to see you all, here! Amnon is taking a shower right now after talking to Professor Wolf and Smolder. He'll be coming in a few minutes. How are you two doing? "

" We're doing well at the mansion, only getting awfully worried about the current state of our nation." Odette said." Overall, we're enjoying our own company together."

" Same here, " she sighed as Emie yawned her mouth like a roaring lion. " I hope this will end someday. I'm also worried about my daughter seeing and growing up with this kind of mess. It reminds me of the mission back in Robania. "

Amnon opened the door and already wore his pajamas and bathrobe, stepping out of the bathroom and becoming refreshed after his shower. Then, he kissed his wife's cheeks and his daughter's forehead. Emie happily cooed at her father before she could sleep.

" And speaking of an angel, he's already here! " Glenda cheerfully remarked and kissed him back.

" Have we caught you too soon? When getting started for the day, Amnon, Glenda? " Odette said, and they looked at the shimmering mirror." Regardless, it's a shining day, seeing a whole family together!."

" Da! " he laughed. " Just myself and my lovely ladies, I hope the Blue Knight won't interfere with our family life! "

" He's preoccupied with a family of his own, and is making sure our daily life in the city is well defended, from these trying times." Odette smiles back." Is the church going well, in helping those in need. Amnon? "

" Da, " Amnon nodded and explained. " Just this morning, my wife and I visited Father Agapov and Docteur McCoy before we took our duty. The church compound is very crowded, but well protected by the Paladin Knights. We have just realised that we are running out of medical supplies and pharmaceuticals. If the extra medical supplies from the Dread Wolves Tribe Village could be transported to the city easily, I hope these monsters won't hinder the delivery men. "

" That sounds alarming, " Wilma remarked.

" That checkpoint man, Von Krieger, is one of my concerns. "

" Transporting those said supplies through the mirrors can be a likely delivery solution. If the trading routes have become compromised. There's always a way to surpass those wretched crooks," Odette said.

" That's exactly, Professeur Wolf and Smolder have done earlier. They transported the books from the library to the Village along with Christopher and his men, " Amnon remarked. " It can help! "

" We'll have to create a wide enough mirror to handle the carts going in, and if able to create a large enough frame for both sides. Then we've got a chance to fight back against these invaders. Amnon." Odette slid a hand down Wilma's arm, and smiled at her.

" If that's the case, I might need to talk to Docteur McCoy and the others on this one. Oui, d'accord. " Amnon replied.

" And don't forget that blacksmith-mechanic and future engineer brother who will be very eager to plot his blueprints for measurements and start to create that kind of mirror, " Glenda reminded.

" You mean, Ivo? "

" Yep. "

'" Gathering those supplies can be done by our Elven friends, for they could enter the town district and remain both unheard and unseen." Odette elaborated." Stealth is a fluent note of their specialties."

" Well, I hope no one can spot them, because one of them was a werewolf who happened to be an Agent of Xiven. "

" Wilma's boyfriend may have to silence this Agent." Odette replied." pardon my bitter judgement....myself of asking for this wretch to be dealt with. Could be done in other manners or maybe capturing him?."

" His name is Vultraz Klaus Schulz. The Blue Knight has told me about that empowered idiot, sorry for the word, " Amnon replied. " The Umbral God Xiven has been empowered as Schulz has become more crafty and scheming than his normal self. I'll ask the Blue Knight what can be done with that tactical werewolf. "

" So, Tucker is no longer an Agent of Xiven? " Wilma asked.

" Not anymore, he's with Docteur Lestrade for psychiatric therapy in Aveline. Schulz is our threat along with the others since he's Xiven new 'chosen one'. "

" Rumours haven't reached our home that much, and hearing about the latest changes among those demon ranks is deeply concerning." Odette examined her own mirror." If those demons come to my home, there's no chance this Schulz will capture us."

" If this happens to you, Odette, " Glenda broke her silence. " I'll call the Blue Knight and tell him to get you out of here. "

" A quick exit with his assistance can be grand." Odette smiled at Wilma's cousin." The Umbral Forces won't be catching this retired old doctor, when she's got her own tricks to show."

Suddenly, Olivia interrupted the conversation and stepped in. She looked at her mother with concern and became tremendously afraid as she was sweating in fear. Amnon, Glenda, and Emie from the other side turned their attention.

" They're here! " she anxiously cried. " They shot one of our maids and butlers! They're going to requisition this mansion and are waiting for us to leave! "

" I fear the dire state of this war finding its way here, has arrived abruptly." Odette fearfully announced, and stood up gazing at Wilma, then to Amnon." We're needing the Blue Knight right now!."

Glenda looked at her husband and whispered, " Take care, Cheesecake. "

Amnon nodded at his wife, kissed her and his daughter's forehead, and then turned to the other women, " He'll be coming very soon. "

[Twenty Minutes Later]

Odette heard some echoes from downstairs. They were speaking in Chergari along with loud banging and clanging of metals, glass, and other materials. She didn't dare to move or peek since the intruders would spot her. Wilma and Olivia remained silent and exchanged glances. The three women spent time ducking under the table.

" We'd have to find another route out of here, or maybe step in through the mirror, is there another shot we should take? " Odette whispered to her wife.

" Hold on..." Wilma whispered back and turned at the door. " I'm hearing something..."

From the outside, the Chergarian soldiers were conversing after sequestering all the precious items.

" Holen Sie sich all diese wertvollen Dinge und bringen Sie sie in den LKW! (Get all of these valuable things and bring them into the truck!) " their superior ordered.

" Was ist mit den Leuten?! Sie könnten sich verstecken! (What about the people?! They might be hiding!) " the subordinate asked.

" Brennen Sie dieses Herrenhaus nieder, bis alles zu Asche wird! Verstanden? (Burn this mansion down until all of them turn into ashes! Understood?) "

" Ja wohl! "

From outside of the manor, a figure with long elven ears, had raised his bow and carefully aimed for a specific commander of the group. He pulled back the string, and took a quiet shot of taking out his target.

Sitting on the top of this created tall earth pillar, Ivo used his binoculars and spotted the Durands and his wayward brethren from Chergaria on each window. The Blue Knight waited for his two companions' signal. Ivo turned his attention to Christopher and the armored medic and smiled at them as he knew what to do.

" Helfen! Ich habe die Banditen gesehen, die geflohen sind! Komm 'schnell her! (Help! I saw those bandits who were escaping! Come here quickly!) " the ginger earth engineer yelled at the top of his lungs, pretending to be in excruciating pain. " Ich habe den Blauen Ritter und den Waldläufer-Elf gesehen, als sie mich gefoltert haben! (I saw the Blue Knight and the ranger elf as they tortured me!) "

" Was?! (What?!) " the commanding officer gasped in shock as he and his subordinates heard of Ivo's scandalous shriek.

" Sie haben meine Kleidung und mein Geld gestohlen! Ich bin nackt und eiskalt!! (They stole my clothes and my money! I'm naked and freezing cold!! ) " Ivo continued his loud rant.

" Das muss unsere untergeordnete Kontrolle über ihn sein! (That must be our subordinate, check on him!) "

" Ja wohl! "

" BEEIL DICH! (HURRY!) "

Ivo intently smirked, wore his goggles, and made a thumbs-up at the Blue Knight and Christopher, gesturing to them to get ready. The Chergarian soldiers went outside and were startled to see a tall earth pillar with a man confidently sitting on top of it.

" Christopher, Ivo, now!!! " the Blue Knight yelled.

Christopher placed two arrow's on his bow, and fired two shots for each to hit the same directed target, and quickly took another and another, with each of his shots meeting their destinations." The Wolves have returned to their den, and found troublesome Coyotes eroding it, it's time to clear them out."

The soldiers got struck from the ranger elf's arrows and fell down on the ground. The Chergarian ginger earth engineer casted a spell to descend the pillar like an elevator and morphed it into a large cannon, releasing some barrage of rocks and hitting the incoming soldiers. They were instantly knocked down.

" Wunderbar! " Ivo grinned and gently patted his newly invented rock cannon.

On the other hand, the Chergarian soldiers were aiming at the Blue Knight. The armored medic casted a spell of Taser Quickdraw which he fired two bolts of bluish-white lighting from his index and middle finger. It was emitting around 50 kilowatts and striking the grunts. They were tremblingly shaking and yelling in pain. They ended up stunned and paralyzed.

" Goodwork, you two. They're already subdued. " the Blue Knight sternly spoke. " Let's keep it going. "

" None of them are leaving this manor, for what they'd wrought on the staff, and a Winter Maiden who's needing to see her Silver Wolf, " Christopher fired shot after shot, with pinning a few remaining soldiers, then silencing them with a final shot to the throat.

The soldiers got struck and wounded. The Blue Knight and his companions entered the mansion. He turned around when he heard the high ranking Chergarian soldier angrily muttered.

" Scheiße! " he growled.

" Wir schenken Ihnen eins! Das wirst du in deinem ganzen Leben nie vergessen! (We will give you one! You will never forget this in your whole life! ) " Ivo retorted and turned to the Blue Knight.

The armored medic casted Bio-Shock to high ranking officer as he got zapped in 60 kilowatts. He widened his eyes and shook tremendously. The man glared his eyes and thought of shooting the trio, but Ivo summoned a spell by encasing his both legs on the floor.

" You three dummkopfen! You are not supposed to do this to me! " the official angrily spoke.

" What's your name?! " the Blue Knight asked and intimidatingly glared at him.

" Why do you want to know, Blauen Ritter?! Am I supposed to ask about you behind that helmet mask of yours, ja? "

He snapped his fingers, forming a bluish-white spark to stun the official. The Chergarian man yelled loudly in fear as Christopher and Ivo watched and cornered him.

" My name's Doktor Avak Karl Goebbels, a former Chergarian Army officer turned member of Dunkel Jäger! I'm a Ph.D holder in philosophy and engineering after leaving the Army! I'm Icarax Gerlach's right hand man! "

" So, you're a philosopher, engineer, and former soldier, " Ivo sternly spoke. " Yet, your wisdom and intellect are similar to a mad savage. "

" Ah, it's nice to see you, Fischer! Yet, you have betrayed us and befriended the Blauen Ritter and the Waldläufer-Elf! Don't you even realised that you and Friedrich are also targeted! Why not join your two friends to be on the wanted list, ja? " Goebbels taunted and laughed.

Ivo angrily clenched his fists and secretly casted a spell to harden the rock encasement on the intruder's legs. Doctor Avak Goebbels grimaced and loudly yelled in excruciating pain.

" Du Erdbändiger-Bastard! (You earthbending bastard!) " he heatedly growled.

" Genug deiner Dummheit! Wer hat dich hierher geschickt?! (Enough of your foolishness! Who sent you here?!) " Ivo furiously asked.

" Metus Von Krieger....Icarax Gerlach..."

" Who else?! " the Blue Knight chimed in after hearing those names.

" Spiriah Reinhart...Mutran Günther...Tsirhc and Lamprey Itna...Frau Sheeva and her siblings..."

" Anyone aside from them?! "

" ...Vultraz Schulz, he's the main mastermind to intrude Doktor Durand's mansion and kill them! "

" Why did you invade this place?! "

" I will never tell the reason, ever! "

Placing his bow over his back, the white haired Elf then brandished his twin sabers, and joined into the confrontation." Our reason for knowing is irrelevant, when you'll be understanding fully, for this raid was your greatest mistake."

Looking at the ranger elf's intimidating demeanor while holding his blades, Doctor Goebbels became very sweaty and rapidly moved his eyes to and fro. He was also seeing the Blue Knight sparking his both hands and Ivo casting a spell to harden the rock encasement on his legs. He gulped in fear and then moaned in pain.

" In Ordnung! In Ordnung! Ich werde Ihre Frage beantworten! (Alright! Alright! I'm going to answer your question!) " Goebbels shrieked loudly. " I was assigned to requisition this damned mansion as we plotted to kill Frau Doktors Odette and Wilma Durand! We are hunting for possible Foranean people who are against Neforie and Höllegard's agendas to your country! We understood they are connected with Herr Doktor Amnon Montmartre and Frau Doktor Glenda Montmartre! Once we kill the Durands, the Montmartres will be next! "

" You are just a damned ruthless man! My masters are faithful servants of this country and parents of their infant child! The Durands are also helping them! " the Blue Knight furiously yelled and grabbed the man's collar. " You call yourself a 'philosopher?!' Neither, you don't deserve to be called a 'doctor!' You're nothing, but a wretched liar, war criminal, and a murderer! "

" Verdammt! Nein! " Ivo glared and heatedly spat. " Halten Sie sich von meiner mütterlichen Seite meiner Familie fern! Wagen Sie es nicht, ihnen wehzutun, Goebbels! (You stay out of my maternal side of my family! Don't you dare to hurt them, Goebbels!) " Then, he saw Wilma peeking from the door, turned to Goebbels, and emotionally continued. " Mein kranker Vater wird auch von Dr. Wilma Durand und meinem jüngeren Bruder betreut! Ich werde dir nicht verzeihen, wenn du es wagst, etwas Blut zu vergießen! (My ailing father is also under the care of Dr. Wilma Durand and my younger brother! I won't forgive you if you dare to do some bloodshed!) "

" His entire band will face justice, from whichever method we approach with." Christopher then surrounded the stone-cased prison with a circle of blue flames." All of them will face retribution for trying to carry out his horrendous act."

Goebbels saw the flames and widened his eyes in shock. Then, he fearfully yelled, " Nein! Lasst mich hier raus, ihr Idioten! (Nein! Let me out of here, you fools!) "

Just then, Wilma, Olivia, and Odette saw the Blue Knight and his companions. The oncologist instantly hugged the ranger elf. Olivia saw her rescuers and smiled. She also hugged the Blue Knight as she was longing to see him.

" Angel, there's no limit from how far I've sprinted the miles of reaching you, and from my unyielding devotion, you remain safe, you and your partner." Christopher then kisses his beloved's forehead, and smiles at her." A Silver Knight, or a Wolf will always be there for his mate."

" Thank you, Chris! Thank you, Blue Knight and Ivo! " Wilma smiled and turned to the two.

" Dè rien, Wilma, " Ivo sincerely smiled. " I know you all heard what I have said even though you can't understand my other language. That's why we needed to protect you. You and Amnon may have more time to heal my father. "

" I know. It's leading us to the Village and healing him. "

" Oui, D'accord, " Odette sincerely smiled and added, holding Wilma's hand. " We are going there. "

" The Manor isn't a safe location anymore, not when it was invaded by those Cultist worshipping scum, and if they could find it, so could another band of them." Christopher added in." An Angel sometimes needs to leap onto another cloud, and remain in a safer location to fight another day." He smiled at Wilma, and winked at her.

" I believe we should be going as I want to spend more time before going to work with Ivo's father. "

" First thing is dealing with the pest problem." Christopher then raised both hands up, and brought them down in a swift motion of igniting his flames." Remember this Umbral, the light brings its judgement to the vilest of evil, and this'll be the Dread Wolves call." He raised the fire wall higher, to a degree of boiling the trapped prisoner.

" Nein! Nein! Nein! " Goebbels loudly yelled in fear.

" So, we have more troublemakers to deal with...." the Blue Knight heavily sighed in his helmet.

" Ja, I know, " Ivo nodded and remarked. " Only Groß Vater Areti can judge him. "

" Earth and flames are holding him back, and he'll be there whenever we'd decide on freeing him, or making him into a permanent statue for the garden." Christopher elaborated, and lowered down his arms, and shook his head." The second choice is rather fitting for him."

" If possible, make him sleep until he wakes up to become a living garden statue. " the Blue Knight suggested.

" So, you're going to zap him like we did before, ja? " Ivo asked.

" Yes. "

The armored medic turned to Goebbels as he became terrified. Then, he said, " I assure you that you will not end-up in a flatliner state, but you will just fall into a REM sleep. When you wake up, you can see what you will be expecting tomorrow morning before breakfast. "

" Nein! Nein! Nein! "

The Blue Knight used his Taser Quickdraw for around 15 volts. The Chergarian madman was stunned as if his eyes widened and shook tremendously. Then, he fell unconscious into his sleep.

[Durand Mansion 27th of After Witching, Year 427, 6:50 AM]

Doctor Avak Goebbels grimaced and yawned when the bright sun struck upon him. He slowly opened his eyes and felt uncomfortable with the bright sun's rays. Then, he was surprised that he ended up at the manor's garden. The rock encasement was still there on his legs. He realised he was suffering from 3rd degree burns which he loudly yelled in fear and disappointment.

Struggling to move his limbs, the realization of his predicament all rushed in flooding up His memory of the night before." Insolent bastards are torturing me like this! They'll pay for everything from ruining the assassination to every single coin, these burns will be directed on burning them alive!." The Doctor angrily cursed.

" Guten morgen, Herr Doktor Goebbels...." Hans Malter the Leanan Sidhe evilly grinned and taunted, letting out a loud laugh. " It looks like you had experienced a 'Friedrich moment' last night, ja?! "

" Scheiße! Such utter incompetence! My entire unit failed to complete a simple assignment of hunting down the insolent doctors! They even failed more on not tracking down any intrusions." Avak tried moving out of his binds and then gave up, from feeling the burns agonize him.

" I never realised that the people from the Dunkel Jäger are a bunch of dummkopfen und nutlozen. No worries, Herr Doktor, let me help you, " Hans remarked and casted out a spell to break the rocks on his legs.

Avak collapsed on his knees, and cried out in pain of feeling the burns become fully exposed to the sunlight, from the waist up, the charred flesh was stinging all over." Quickly bring someone over to heal my wounds! "

Hans carried the officer and rushed when he saw Doctor Günther and Hauptmann Schulz coming towards them.

" So, you have encountered those dummkopfen, Goebbels! " the werewolf agent of Xiven surmised and laughed. " I believe Herr Doktor Günther will give you further treatment to get yourself better. "

" Consider this a payment for his services, and the little project he could offer to enhance me." Avak suggested." The Blue Knight and his allies have become a burden long enough for us."

" Ja wohl, Goebbels, " Mutran grinned. " Come with me at Der Bunker, we will do a very interesting treatment. Definitely, you will like it, ja? "

[Thirty Minutes Later: Moreau's Underground Bunker]

Avak ended up lying on a bed. Doctor Günther was turning the pages from Kasius Tucker's notes. Then, he looked at the body of a deceased black eagle. He had an idea on how to make you become more enhanced than he was as a human.

" Be grateful, Herr Doktor Goebbels. You will be swifter and sharper than you are. You can take yourself to high places. The Luftwaffe will be proud to see you up high and flying with them! Then, you will strike your enemies more efficiently than ever! " he grinned. " This will make you an übermensch! "

" Overstepping the ties of my humanity, and becoming a collection of your experiments, ja oder nein? The offer is far too enticing to refuse." Avak said in agreement.

" You will surely be a better version than your previous self, ja?!"

" Molding the life clay into perfection of your ingenuity, The Blue Knight and his pathetic friends shall rule the day. They never crossed Avak." The Burnt Officer replied." The rest of my friends should undergo the same treatment."

" If Gerlach will undergo this procedure along with his Dunkel Jäger, they would be more empowered than those dummkopfen. " Mutran replied and held his syringe consisting of the Umbral serum. " Das wird weh tun, aber Sie werden bald davon profitieren! (This will hurt, but you will get the benefit soon!) "

The half tiefling scientist injected the serum to the engineer-philosopher's arm. Afterwards, he held two tainted Robanian zenigen crystals, leaving Goebbels exposed to it. Then, he started reading the Umbral chants in Chergari.

Dr. Günther's ritual and procedure was still taking much time until. He was able to extract the deceased eagle's blood by casting his blood manipulation spell. The red plasma hovered and transferred to Avak's body, making him drink. Another ten minutes, his muscles and skin got rejuvenated. The black feathers grew. His nose and mouth began to form into a beak. From his arms, the feathers grew longer than his legs, forming into wings. The mad member of the Dunkel Jäger gradually mutated and stood up to see his transformations.

" Now, kindly look at the mirror, Herr Doktor Goebbels, " Mutran ordered.

Avak gathered his surroundings, once standing on his two feet, only they felt odd when standing on the stone tiled floor. and shook his head." Unglaublich, wunderbar! Everything about me is feeling strange and out of place." he said before looking into a mirror, and smirked once seeing the change of the mad scientist's work." Inner perfection does take shape, even from outside, Mutran."

" You're an engineer, Doktor Goebbels. Perhaps, you can join the Luftwaffe raid tomorrow. You will go further with them. "

" Taking in the skies with a rifle, I'll be terrorizing all the rodent's below, and striking my vengeance down on them all." Avak said." no matter how high, It isn't far from my reach."

" Unglaublich! (Incredible!) Are you ready for that, mein Freund? "

" Mark the operation, and pinpoint my next deployment." Mutran." Avak then spread out his wings." I'll glide my way there, and see what I survey from the skies."

" Schulz! " Mutran called out the werewolf captain as Vultraz entered the laboratory. " Du führst diesen Dunkeljäger und hilfst bei der Planung seiner Luftüberwachung. (You guide this Dunkel Jäger and help plot his aerial surveillance.) "

" Ja wohl, Herr Doktor! " the werewolf Hauptmann saluted and turned to Avak, grinning him. " Sie sehen in Ihrer neuen Form sehr gut aus, Doktor Goebbels. Wir brauchen neben der Luftwaffe einen Fliegerjungen. Bereit zum Handeln, ja? (You look very good in your new form, Doctor Goebbels. We do need a fly boy aside from the Luftwaffe. Ready for action, yes?)"

" Ja. Stalking the skies with the high speeds of my wings. I'll start off the test by hunting down a few left overs in the streets of the town." Avak chuckled in a menacing manner." The shopping district first."

" Avenue Sassurtrid, Wunderbar, " Vultraz evilly grinned and marked the map using his pencil.

" The busiest district of all, those poor souls won't be expecting an aerial attack during the day." Avak planned on striking down his vengeance." And any vital targets there?."

" There are many businesses involved, but specifically start with that Beirunese artist, Tsurumi Fumikage, then a Wulashaenese elf businessman, Wang Tengfei, and a Foranean book publisher, David Balland. You would like more targets aside from these three? "

" Whom else is on the ballad list? " Avak smirked with evil intent." And the first three are good testers, to serve my purpose of getting closer to the Blue Knight's allies."

" Within the district, we have the Jørgensen family who also live there, " Vultraz continued. " The Montmartres are also tied with these Palgish immigrants. Then, on the other side we have the Tucker family. "

" The traitor should lose every severance of his family, and the Tucker's will feel every pain of loss." Avak said." I'll make my first attacks random at first, before focusing on the chosen ones."

" By the way, Goebbels...there is something I need to tell you. Xiven's previous host was Tucker himself, " Schulz evilly grinned. " It's a secret which Xiven knows very well about the Blue Knight. Would you like to know about it, ja? "

" Note everything about him, and this'll leverage on using anything about him against that insufferable Knight, " Avak ushered him to continue sharing the information he'd held.

" The Blue Knight is Herr Doktor Amnon Joseph Montmartre. "

" Foolish in every way, the Blue Knight's true self is now known, and there's nowhere else the Blue Knight or Amnon can hide away from us." Avak proclaimed." His family, and himself will be the number one on our list."

" Montmartre may have his ways to divert anyone from separating himself and the Blue Knight, " Vultraz replied. " If you want, Goebbels, you can try to find him. "

" Drawing him out can be done in ruthless methods, and most of them can be barbaric." Avak said, and clawed the ground with his new talons." Which other methods it takes, we'll conduct with it."

" Well, why not take it to an Ouranist church with some patients from the former Monoceros Keep General Hospital, " Schulz suggested. " There, we can spot the doctor or the Blue Knight. "

" A regaling target, both shattering the hopes of a false faith, and the hope of destroying a Doctor's life....regardless if Amnon isn't there. He'll come to understand our message." Avak said." A message written in blood."

" Not just Montmartre himself, but those patients and those Ouranist believers will be at risk. Now, if you don't mind we can do a hostage crisis at St. Isaiah. "

" Forcing the doctor to act, the thought of holding all those poor victims." Avak cracked a long smirk, for his gang would show everywhere they went." Those victims will be the catalyst of the Blue Knight's downfall."

" Wunderbar! " Vultraz grinned maliciously. " Our minds are meeting right now! "

" The absence of Teridax since his passing, does make the meeting a little dull without him." Avak agreed with the notion, nonetheless." Our takeover of his nation will come to a full circle soon."

" I am pretty sure, Moreau is watching us from the Umbral realms. It would be a problem for Günther since they are both rivals. If he returns to life, then that half tiefling scientist will grow mad, " Vultraz replied.
