*** 5 hours later, South Gate of the AnD Hive ***

"Isn't it too silent?" AnD's Pyranna hummed in bored, leaning against the wall in the south gate of the hive where they were keeping night watch.

"Kinda… Even if Boss went to the meeting, and Aramis came for calling help surprisingly… It is still disturbingly silent… As if something will happen…" Soul, another female member of the alliance, replied to her friend, looking up at the sky.

"We're still lucky thanks to that Aramis left without causing any trouble…"

"It seems… it is not!" Soul suddenly stood up, drawing her sword and pointing it menacingly at the dark bushes. "SHOW YOURSELF, WORM!"

"Sorry for disturbing you at a late time like this…" The stranger, dressed without armor and only in black fabric, as if he were a medieval assassin from a computer game, appeared in the bushes, beginning to walk slowly towards them. "Of course, I would prefer to get in without harming you silently but you both are extremely careful. Congratulations. May I kindly ask you to allow me to pass peacefully, ladies?"

"YOU!" Soul was quick to recognize the member of the organization that suddenly appeared and caused the death of many of her friends and the imprisonment of her close friend Lamour. "CAVE! HOW CAN YOU SHOW US YOUR FACE RELAXLY!? AFTER THE THINGS ALL YOU HAVE DONE!" And she took a position ready to attack.

Of course Pyranna too…

"I am sorry but I do not have much time. You have our friends and we came to get them back!"

"Ah, just try it…!"

*** East Gate ***

Since the AnD alliance's hive was 3 times larger than the GBR's, it had not one but 3 gates. The second and furthest passage from the center was guarded by the strongest and single blood-eyed member.

"The darkness in the sky and this silence in the environment really give me peace." Aseer, who was lying on his back with his legs crossed on the ground, opened his closed eyes and showed his blood-red eyes while speaking. "And the fact that you were approaching silently like a snake disturbed my peace, stranger…" However, he still continued to lie down and watch the sky with confidence without making any attempt.

"You are really good at this, Aseer…" 

"What now, Claw? Will we kill each other?"

"Absolutely not. We just came here to take our friends… And from what I see from your current attitude, I think you can help me on this." Aseer's calm and cool stance encouraged Claw.

"Well…" Aseer, who got up from where he was lying down and took a sitting position, scratched the back of his neck and continued carelessly. "The thing is I am not a leading or choosing type. If it was up to me, maybe I would let you pass, thinking there would be a peaceful solution. After all, Lamour is also my friend and it saddens me that she is imprisoned." Afterward, he stood up from where he was sitting and moved his hand towards the hilt of his sword. "But you know… The order of West is clear… And also… I do not think that you are a trustworthy faction!"

"So, we should do this!"

"I'll let you return back, Claw of the Rebels! I promise not to move if you do that… Otherwise, I will not be responsible for what happens!"

"I am sorry but I can not do that!" Forced, Claw also unsheathed his swords. "But I promise to do my best not to kill you…"

"So do I…"

*** Main Gate ***

"HEY, STOP THERE! INTRODUCE YOURSELF!" The five soldiers guarding the main gate quickly drew their weapons and pointed them at the approaching stranger.

"AS THE LEADER OF THE INDEPENDENT PLAYERS OF THIS WORLD, I ORDER YOU TO OPEN THE PATH, PLAYERS OF THE ANGELS AND DEMONS ALLIANCE!!!"

"INDEPENDENT?" Eric a.k.a Ericus of AnD didn't know who this stranger was, who hid his face with a black veil, but thanks to this conversation, he had a guess. If not for his identity, but for his organization... "YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE, LEADER OF THE REBELS!"

"I AM NOT HERE TO TALK. OPEN THE GATE OR…"

"OR WHAT, TRAITORS!"

As soon as the leader of the rebels brought his hand to the sheath, he heard the sound of another sword being unsheathed a few meters behind him, and he confidently called out, without changing his stance, by turning his head slightly to the right. "I assume that you are West, the leader of AnD Alliance. If you want this night to end without anyone getting hurt, tell your men to open the gate!"

"For what?"

The thing is, Vato Luca was one of the most silent players in this World. So besides the BRe members, there were very few people who could recognize him from his voice, and these people were not members of the AnD alliance.

"We will take our friends back!"

"Friends?"

West, El Cid, and Amrow had gone to the Leader's Summit and the meeting location was so far away from their hive. So even though they had ridden their dragons all the way back, they had only just arrived here. For this reason, they didn't know yet that Aramis had brought Ayo to their home to save him.

"Ayo and Lamour!"

"..." West thought for a few seconds before responding. "About Ayo… Do you know what happened?"

"Gofu gave me some information… About Kitty's attack!"

"Good. So you know that your friend, Ayo is in a very bad condition. Yet, he is in my hive. The hive of the alliance which has the best doc in this World. It means he was brought here to be healed. But you insist on taking him back in his current condition? F.ck, you are nothing but a bunch of chaos-seeking organisms that do not deserve respect! I wonder how you managed to poison my Lamour's mind. And my answer for Ayo is… No! Even though I did not like him and also you are a real failure as a leader, I will not give that guy to you back until he heals completely!" 

West said these things easily because she knew very well that Zoli, the member of her alliance, was a complete anti-war type and that if Ayo had recovered, he would have sent him back to his friends just to prevent the current events from happening.

"So, this is your answer?"

"Ah sorry, I forgot… And about Lamour… F.ck no! You will never be able to darken my friends' souls anymore! Including my Lamour!"

"He seems strong, West. Let's finish him and enlighten everyone's future altogether" El Cid and Amrow stepped ahead and drew their swords.

"Get back, guys. He is mine!"
