    The silence that had followed both his and Beuce's words were unsettling. All of his doubts aside, he would've thought that someone speaking to her other than her father would elicit some form of response. The truth of it all was revealed when the door was kicked open by Alexander and startling sight laid bare for them all to see. A room in tatters and a clear lack of Karina in the room. Her trashing the room was believable, even if a little extreme with how the door was locked from the inside, but what bothered him most were the claims that she had just left them. Out of all the doubts and disbeliefs that were swirling about in his head right now, the one thing that he could firmly believe in was that Karina wouldn't just abandon them like that and even with that belief it didn't explain the room, which what was heard over the radio.

    "It's not your fault." Is what he said, but how much of that he meant was a different matter entirely.

    When Ananta said that she would like to see her friends in the cells he was not sure they could. "Well are can at some point but right now I do not thing visitor hours are here yet." He was really running out of things to say or do and he needed to find a way to past the time. "So what is your homeworld like? You never really say much on it other than in passing." If nothing else this conversation might be able to pass some time so that when they were done talking they might be able to go to the cells.

    Quill listened as he put the final touches on, he was almost thankful these horrid mutations were so durable. Quill had surmised after several attempts of pulling the claws off days ago, the chitin on his body grew from his skeletal structure. Now it was the hard part, Quill moved closer to a 45 degree angle of the barred door. He had to know, he knew something of this situation. Readying a throw, Quill tossed the plate in a vertical spin zipping through the bars of Aux’s cell. Quill rejoiced, until he heard curses from the other cell. Perhaps it might’ve smacked him a little hard, but it had to be fast and discreet or the cameras would see. On the hand sized rectangle was carved a question Quill needed to know.

    Looking over at Quill after thinking a few moments on how to best respond to his question about his home-world Faust leaned back looking up at the ceiling of his cell their wasn't much special about his home world, but from the different worlds he had been in his travels he could guess the natives of them probably had the same thoughts of their own worlds. It wouldn't be fair not to tell them after they told him about his "Hmm, I wouldn't say i enjoyed but.." Faust paused for a second to think on how to word his thoughts "It's more like most people on those crumbling floating rocks above the clouds that we had called home Didn't like thinking of how they were crumbling just doing the same things day after day. and that didn't sit to well with me so when i had meet that old drunkard of a master of mine in dire straights with a tavern. I had offered a bet to help him out, got keyblade and had been traveling for more interesting sites." Faust pause for second before deciding on a how to Finish his tale of his home world "You see I guess you can say I've been always captivated by new interesting things." Faust Laughing at his out pun as he looked out across the cellblock.

    Beuce stared in at the destroyed room. It was certainly a thorough trashing of the place. He thought about what could be the cause of it. Initially, one might think that it was very in character for Karina to destroy everything and berserk her way out, but Beuce knew better. She wouldn't just leave them. Not after the conversation, she'd had with him. She wouldn't just up and leave them. If she did though...Beuce began to wonder if it may have been his fault. If she'd run off due to his apprehensiveness to accept her confession. He resolved to have more faith in her than that, but there was still a shadow of doubt over his heart.

    "Well, you're the most well equipped to find her. I'd be more than happy to search, but we'd essentially be running around aimlessly. Please, let us know if you find her." He said to Alexander. He didn't mean a word of it. He didn't believe Karina had run away. And if she had, he didn't believe the man would let them see her. For now, he had other things to worry about. He couldn't abandon the others in the SOS now. "For now, would you be willing to show us to the prison?"

    "Do you know what dad will do to you if you don't. Cut the crap Karina!" Clearly she had gotten under his skin with the way she was talking. There was almost a sense of satisfaction from Karina seeing Eric snap like that. She would rather be hated by her family then play these weird mind games that they tried to play.

    "I know what he will try to do, but guess what Eric, I am not alone. You aren't the only one that can protect me. For the first time in my life I have real friends, and I know that they are coming for me." Determination radiated off of Karina as she stared her brother down. She wasn't going to give up on believing her friends would come for her. Even if they didn't, she would find a way out, even if it took some time. She wasn't going to let herself be left behind.

    "We have an army, no matter how much you refuse, these friends of yours can never best them. Give up Karina." Eric scolded as he started heading towards the door.

    "Then you underestimate my friends." The door was slamming shut before Karina could do anything else, leaving her with her thoughts and bleeding hand. So it was official she had lost Eric, now she had to be as convicted as she sounded when it came to her friends rescuing her. Eric was right, they had an army, but she had to believe that she wouldn't be left behind. She had to believe in them, even if belief was hard right now.

    Ananta had not said anything yet perhaps she was thinking about what to say or she did not what to say anything. Whatever the case may be until she said something he figured that he should try to figure out what is going on this ship and what might be at play. First was Alexander who for whatever reason way lying to them. Then there were the people who brought them here and what their goal was. His first thought was that maybe everyone was working for no heart but that seemed unnecessarily complicated. He did not want to rule out the possibility but so far No hear only wanted them dead. If No Heat was involved somehow then they be dead already as when they were all knocked out that was the perfect timing. Something else was at play more than likely. The only thing that he could gather was someone wanted them out of the way but not dead. Maybe it was a keep your friends close keep your enemies closer type of thing? Then there was the thought that no one showed up at to talk to them on the last world and why that might be. So maybe another world was involved somehow. He continued to think as he walked hoping to come up with something.

    Luna walked down the hall, following the compass given to her. She had walked past a small sign that said 'J Quadrant'. "I wonder who made it on board....Everyone should be in one of the couple colonies we set up....It's mildly concerning but oddly refreshing to hear some are on board." Luna stopped for a moment and thought about all the possibilities that might have led to this for her people. She shook her head to erase those thoughts and continued her stroll to the 7th floor.


    As Luna reached the 7th floor, a small glimpse of brown hair caught the princess' eyes. "About time we found you, Your Highness." A gasp left Luna as surprise took over her body. A brown-haired girl, dressed in a royal knight's garb, smirked at the Princess as she made her comment. She took one step before slowly taking her other step. "I-Illiana??.." The female knight smiled at Luna before opening her mouth. "It's been a couple years...Hasn't it Lulu?" Luna ran toward the girl, tears welling up in her eyes. "Lili!!" The princess wrapped her arms around Illiana, smiling with tears running down her face. Illiana placed a hand on the princess' head as the other held her shoulder. "Never realized how comforting it was to hear that old nickname. Just what are you crying for anyways, Lulu? I thought I trained you better than that." She chuckled as she petted Luna's hair. The two stayed like that for a couple of moments.


    Luna pulled away and wiped her tears away. The knight patted her head before putting a hand on her hip. "You didn't think I came here alone did ya?" The princess was a bit confused at what she meant but remembered the nurse's words and how she mentioned several people had shown up. Illiana stepped to the side and the sound of footsteps filled the room. Luna opened her eyes to see two more women with a young man standing behind them. "Orella...and....Soliana..." She looked between the two and smiled before bowing slightly. "I'm glad to see you're alright, Princess." Orella smiled back at Luna as she expressed her relief. Soliana smiled then bowed to Luna. "Truly a blessing from the gods to see you once again, Your Highness." Luna bowed her head slightly. "I should saying that. It's not everyday, you get the opportunity to speak with the Phoenix of Apollo." Soliana smiled at the girl. "Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness. I believe you two are long due for a much needed reunion, if I do say so myself. Aren't I correct, Prince Lucien?" Soliana turned her body to face the man standing behind her. The man nodded his head before stepping toward the princess.


    A white-haired man, dressed in a white suit faced Luna. Her eyes widened once again as tears filled them. She placed both hands over her nose and mouth in shock. "Little under two years....I believe that is grounds for a reunion. Wouldn't you agree, dear sister?" Luna ran into her brother's arms. The two twins smiled as they embraced. "Lucian...I almost can't believe it. However, this is very real." The two pulled away and Lucien wiped his sister's tears away. "You've gotten a lot stronger, Lunala. I almost want to say your hair grew a bit longer but I can't honestly tell, hahaha." He scratched his head as he looked at Luna. "I think you gotten a little taller than me since the last time I saw you." Luna stood on the tips of her toes to reach her brother's head. "Then I guess we've both changed since we last saw one another, haven't we Luna?" Luna giggled before answering. "Indeed we have, Luci."


    Lucien's expression then turned into a serious one. "As much as I would like to continue this reunion, there are matters that you need to know; in regards to colonies, that is." Luna nodded her head. "There's been a shift in power." Lucien got straight to business as he opened up with this statement. The princess was a bit confused as to what he meant but remained silent as the discussion continued further.


    Once the discussion had ended, Luna took a deep breath to process everything. "It's hard to believe this....But, I know I can't turn away from this." Lucien put a hand on his sister's shoulder. "I understand. This must all be hard to take in, but we'll get through this." Luna nodded her head as she rested her hand on his. "Thank you Luci. I wish I could do something about this now but...." Illiana then walked up to her. "You have to take care of things here, am I right?" Luna turned her head to her. "Don't worry, Mira and Luan are watching over everything while we're here. They're doing their part, let us do ours. We'll see each other again, after you've finished what you need to do." Luna smiled and nodded her head. She took out the digital compass and opened the map. "Supposedly, Koa should be here. I should go see him before the summit starts." Everyone in the room nodded their head. "I'll meet you near the summit hall when it gets closer to the time." Lucian nodded to his sister as he told her. Luna nodded in response.


    "Alright. I should get going. We'll meet back up after the summit and discuss plans, moving forward. I'll see you soon." Luna hugged Lucian one more time before waving to the others before leaving the room. She took out her compass once more, making her way to 'V Quadrant'.

    When Aux admitted how he was feeling about the group and still feeling like a bad guy. Kaida turned towards him and shifted to sit cross-legged and said, "You say nothing has changed, but you have done good things. You've helped the group quite a bit. Maybe you haven't fully made up for the bad you did yet but you've made a difference." The blonde played with her hands a moment, thinking exactly how to say what she wanted to say before smiling at him, "In the end all that matters is how you feel. But if you asked me, I'm happy you're with us and helping out instead of smashing my head in. I'm sorry if I haven't shown that well. I used to always insult you in jest and you were always so stoic it didn't seem like it bothered you. Like it was bouncing right back off of you. I can tell I was wrong." Kaida bowed her head in apology.

    XARES QUARTERS II

    Xares inspected his watch. "I suppose I could allow an early visitation seeing as how we have the summit this afternoon..."
    He looked back at the two boys. "You and your friends can visit the prison block in the basement levels.... They're located in Prison Black G... 2nd Base Floor." He pulled out a communicator and gave confirmation to the rest of the ship. A small intercom was heard in the halls and main floors of the sanctuary.

    "Attention all citzens aboard the sanctuary... Visitation time has been moved. You may now visit any detainees in the next five minutes."
    He turned off his comm and turned to Kel and Beuce. "That should give you all access now... I'll be trying to locate my daughter in the meantime" He pressed a few buttons on his tablet. "I've arranged for Faust's release as a sign of good faith, but the other four will have to stand trial." Once their hearings are complete, I would be more than happy to arrange a departure vessel for you... I understand you've all been doing your hardest, but provided you are given the proper channels, there may very well be some official partnership in your future." He shook Kel's hand. "You've been doing this alone as a group, but if you don't mind being more democratic and following a protocol, we could provide many resources." He walked them out of the door and towards the elevator.

    "We can discuss more at the summit, but you should consider the offer," he said as he shook Beuce's hand. "You never know when you need a hand," He gave a small salute as he watched them go down the elevator with the two of them going down the elevator.

    He turned to the destroy room and closed the door. As he walked down the hall further, he opened another channel on his communicator
    "Channel S4," a voice replied.
    "Is the line secure?"
    "Yes sir... About those instructions you gave us..."
    "What about them?"
    "You asked us to destroy a room and say your daugter escaped... Why go through it all Why didn't you just detain them?"
    Xares sighed. "Too much noise. Noise creates panix. Panic creates loss of faith. And loss of faith loses allies... This is a simple measure to make sure everyone gets what they want.... Oh... and make sure that room is cleaned up."
    "Yes sir," the soldier replied.

    PRISON BLOCK G

    [​IMG]

    Still in his talk with Kaida, he didn't take note of the item that Quill discretely threw to him.
    Aux watched her humble friend and felt a little better. "I didn't mind the teasing so much. It was like a confirmation that I actually had friends. Back in Central Haven, you were one of the few people that I actually bonded with. I rarely.talked to people and all I did was train. I only talked to you and..."
    He couldn't think of the name again...
    "-The teachers..." He tried to recover, but he still couldn't get another silhouette out of his head. He chuckled to himself as a quick memory came to mind.
    "I remember the first time I met you, all I thought was... 'wow, she's small.' But you kept training and fighting and here you are now. One of the few members of the order still around. That's something to be proud of too. No matter what happens when you get out, you'll always have my respect." He gave a small fist of power as if giving her props.

    Kaida's Friendship level is maxed.

    "Besides, not like it can get any worse..."

    XARES QUARTERS II

    Xares unlocked the door and stepped in
    "Well I'm afraid your cavalry will not be arriving to save you." He closed the door behind him as he approached his daughter.
    "I decided to double back on my original tactic and go for a more diplomatic approach." He reasjusted the lining of his jacket as he looked in the mirror. "I managed to convince your 'friends' that you ran off again... Surprisingly not a lot of doubt from them. I suppose it's not out of the realm of possibility to imagine you overreacting... Is it?" He asked her in a condescending tone.

    Karina wasn't in the mood for her father as he walked back in the room, seeming so confident that he had won. "You don't know my friend. If you think you have won and they bought that, you are wrong." She hoped. She desperately hope that was true. Karina had faith in her friends that they wouldn't just believe they would leave them, especially not after what she had told Beuce back in Olympus. Beuce knew that they were her new family and she trusted them more than anything, she wasn't going to give them up that easily. She could only stand there and look at her father, still holding her injured hand. "Even if they don't come for me, I will get out myself. I refuse to stay here and marry him!" Karina shouted before launching herself at her father, swinging her already bloddy fist. She was trying to at least get whatever this keycard he had was to let herself out of the room. She didn't think she could beat her father in a fight, but he didn't know how strong she had gotten, maybe she could overpower him long enough to make a run for it.

    V QUADRANT

    As Luna approached the spot where her compass was leading her, a firendly young man's voice called out. "Yo Luna! Princess?" He walked closer to her as he tried to get her attention. He ran directly in front of her and his smile quickly dimmed. He had a slender build,who at first glance looked like a street punk. He had blue eyes, light freckles and short, unruly blond hair. "Aww man... wrong princess... Yo Noct! It's not her!" He looked at his compass. "Stupid thing sent us the wrong lady!"

    Another brooding man with dark spiked hair approached her as well. He seemed a bit saddened, but not surprised.
    "Sorry we made you came all this way... I didn't know Lunafreya was such a common name...." he awkwardly shrugged as he scratched the back of his head.
    "Looks like your Fiancee is still M.I.A bud..." the blonde man sighed.
    "So are Gladio and Ignis it seems..." the brooding man said, trying to think to himself. He quickly looked up at Luna and shook it off. "Oh, sorry... My name name is Noctis... this is my friend Prompto."
    "We're homeless!" Prompto said with a smile. "So uh... what kingdom do you hail from miss...."

    XARES QUARTERS II

    Xares fell back out of the way, and grabbed Karina's wrist. She twisted it behind her back and pressed her face against the dresser.
    Xares put a small comm on the table and hit play.
    "Well, you're the most well equipped to find her. I'd be more than happy to search, but we'd essentially be running around aimlessly. Please, let us know if you find her." He stopped the recording device. "You wouldn't believe the technology my association with the Sanctuary has given me." He tightened his grip on her wrist. "Your fake fiancee believes you've run off. As will the rest once they receive the news. You aren't needed anymore... So for once in your emotional life, stop being an embarrassment to the family.... Your mother will be bringing you a dress. You will wear it, you will be presentable, and you will say yes when Scott proposes to you. Are. We. Clear?"

    Of course she didn't get a hit him. Karina wasn't surprised that her father evaded her and now had her pinned. Her arm groaned in pain as grit her teeth, unable to even look at her father anymore. "Have you ever considered that they are lying." Beuce would know better, know better than to trust her father. He knew the pain her father had caused her and in the half an hour that he was gone, she was sure that he didn't manage to convince Beuce otherwise. Karina grunted in pain as her father tightened his grip on her arm. Her eyes watered a bit as her father spoke into her ear. "I will not." She retorted, kicking back at her father as hard as she could before trying to shake him off the best she could. "I will never marry Scott!" She roared her proclamation.

    Xares inhaled taking a deep breath. "Your persistence is your strongest, if not- most infuriating trait... Half your friends are bhind bars, and lest you want them to stay in their forever, I suggest you fall in line. Aux. Kada. Faust. Castur. Stratos. I have no problem leaving them to rot for their miserable lives."

    "I will be sure to keep that in mind." Kel said as Alexander finished shaking his hand and did the same to Beuce before leaving. Karina's actual location was still unknown, but they were at least able to see their arrested friends sooner than planned. A good outcome but in the end, his doubts were still dancing about in his head. What he wanted was some sort of coherent answer and it seemed that that would be the last thing that would learn. Kel then groaned, annoyed with all these doubts and none of the answers. He then turned to Beuce, partially wondering if he guidance or at least knew what to do. "So, what do you plan on doing after we visit our friends?"

    Her mind screamed at her that he was lying, her father had to be lying, but the way he said it. Karina knew enough of her father to know the tones he used when he lied, this wasn't one of them. He was being serious and she could tell her father wielded power her. "Will you let them go? If I say yes, will you let them go?" She finally asked, there was defeat in her voice, but she couldn't let her friends pay for her own messed up life. She had promised not to go back to her father, but if that mean half her friends never being free, could she live with that? She didn't think she could because she found a family with these people. She wouldn't punish them for her actions and decisions. "If you promise, on your honour that they will be free, then I will put on the damn dress."

    "My honor is something I will not wager on my daughter of all people. Your little friends are accountable to trial. If they are innocent, you have nothing to worry about. But if they're guilty, well... I have no problem locking them up like the scum they are." He turned and was about to leave the room. "Be ready in 30 minutes. I will have Scott brought in once you're ready." He reached fro the handle but stopped. "Oh, and one more thing... If you ever try to assault your father again, I will not hesitate to send you down the aisle with bruises.... For too long I've had faith you would be an obedient daughter. Now I have to resort to blackmail. Like you were a criminal. Keep it up and I won't mind letting you rot in a lone cell with no contact." He left the door and closed it behind him.

    As he walked thinking about what was next he turned to Ananta who had been silent for some time now. He wondered if she was alright or if she was just thinking. He stopped at a corner labeled C Quadrant and tuned around the corner and headed that way. He shook his head as he still could not figure out what was going on.

    Med bay.
    He took a map and was looking at in humm, barracks, mess halls, and sleeping quarters none of them seemed particularly interesting. Then he spotted something labeled prison block G. Well this was interesting a jail with people most likely. He would be able to see what unlucky people had managed to get locked up. 'Attention all citizens aboard the sanctuary... Visitation time has been moved. You may now visit any detainees in the next five minutes.' Well, that was convenient. He left the med bay and headed towards prison block G. Upon arrival He noticed a blond girl, an angry-looking guy with a bigger build, a person with whitish hair and a one with sliver. He stood with his back to the wall and arms folded as he noticed them. "So what is the story on this ship folks? It seems no one is around." He shrugged. It was so good to see people locked up for things, ah but he did not let the emotion show on his face as he waited for any response he had a slight smile on his face.

    Quill listened to Faust recount his time in his homeworld, and though Faust spoke with optimism in his voice, the slight crack of reality was there. A life of struggle and uncertainty, all faced with a strong force of positivity that Quill couldn’t help but envy. To be able to look forward to new and interesting aspects of life seemed unlikely in a life of fighting yet here was a man with a strength Quill wholey admired. “That’s..real nice Faust. Thank you, the fact you make even a dower prison like this slightly tenable is no easy feat.” Across the way the two adjacent, Aux and Kaida, spoke of a past together. Learning together and working as allies, possibly in the use of the keyblade? Could such a thing exist, on Quill’s world the keyblade was a tool for war but never studied as an art. He had to know more, yet Aux seemed confused about his past. Perhaps an injury that caused memory loss? The girl though, Kaida, may have answers if Quill manages to live that long.
    The two bonded over their time fighting together, something that scratched a numb part of Quill. Allies faces washed over his memories and disappeared quickly, a time of his life that seems like a vivid dream. Quill began to wonder about this group, whether he could see himself as someone’s ally again. Yet suddenly doors opened, a civilian entered. It couldn’t already be visitation hours? The lack of clocks or magic for the last week has made Quill more aware of keeping track of time. He stood around in no particular spot and had a subtle smirk, his question to the group didn’t seem relevant to a bunch of prisoners, who’ve been in cold cells the whole time. From his corner Quill kept an eye on the door, if other visitors were suddenly coming then he needed to be ready for any surprises.

    Didn't he know that he was already doing something far worse to her. At least alone in a cell she could have some peace and quiet and would be left to her own devices. Here she didn't know when her father would walk in and she honestly would prefer to be locked away than become anyone's belonging again. But she couldn't punish her friends by taking that choice, because if she kept resisting, her father would ensure that all the trails were rigged against them. Karina looked down and rubbed her wrist, bruises already forming from the way he was holding her. "Right, down the isle with bruises. That is still two months away, I am sure you can get a lot more damage in by then." Karina mumbled to herself as she rubbed her tender wrist looking at how much of a mess that arm was. Between the way her dad had grabbed her, and her punching the mirror, it was just a mess. She considered yelling at the camera that she had killed Uniform, just as a way of flipping her father off, but Karina figured she needed to wait until after her friends got out before that would be a safe choice.

    Just as she was pacing and thinking, Karina heard the door open again. Two guards stood before it as they stepped aside to let her mom in, and then locked the door behind her. Of course her father would have thought of everything, knew that she could overpower her mom and make a break for it if she wanted, and Karina would have if it weren't so clear that she had no key to this room of her own. Her mother held a pink dress in her arms as she walked in in complete silence. "Come, lets get you cleaned up and changed." Her mother spoke in a soft voice and averted her gaze. She wondered what sort of instructions were given to her before coming. Likely something that prevented her mother from seeming to care that she was here. Even if her mother faithfully followed her father, she was never bad to Karina. From what Eric was telling her, it seemed like her mother was excited that she was home, but she showed none of that as she stepped toward the bed, laying the dress out. Her father sent her in as a servant, not a mother, and Karina couldn't help but pity her.
