Fury and the bearded man in pajamas traveled towards the lotus castle, and to get there faster they take a flying bus that is very popular among the middle-class, and lower-class inhabitants. In the middle of the journey the man looked at Fury's face and felt that she was a girl who carried a lot of resentment in her heart, and to understand what was the reason for so much pain he begins to question her:
Tell me, girl, why do you wish to go to the Lotus castle? Do you wish to join the cage and become part of the army?
She responds to me:
Fury: yes!
The Man: and what is his goal?
Fury: My goal is to kill the Lotus King!
The man is surprised after the girl's outburst, and asks:
Why do you want to kill the king if you don't even know him?
Fury: for the destruction he caused in Alticos my homeland!
How old are you?
Fury: twenty years old!
The Man: what to say that you were only four years old when it happened! I'll give you some advice; the desire for vengeance clouds the brightness of your eyes, and hatred blinds you so you can't see the truth!
Fury: what do you mean by that?
Man: If you let hatred guide you, the only one destroyed in this story will be you!
The words of that man touched deeply in the heart of Fury who played tough, but inside was shaken. After twenty minutes finally the flying bus arrives near the lotus castle, but still had a good way ahead, Fury says goodbye to the lord:
Fury: well, you don't need to accompany me anymore! From here I can see the Castle, just move on!
The Man: the agreement was that I would take you to the castle! So you can leave the farewell for when we are there!
The two were heading for the castle and suddenly a group of five armed troublemakers approach them, one of them says:
I want you and this old man to pass everything you've got now!
The Man Who Was Angry Wax Angry Fist Saying:
Man: How dare you steal at the Lotus? I will teach you a lesson!
Furious at the man's words one of them says:
The Brawler: How old is he? He can come!
When the man was going to step forward Fury stops him saying:
Fury: wait! You could get hurt!
The Man insisted on facing the thieves and Fury takes a snack out of the bag and gives it to him saying:
Fury: take it! And calm down! I'll take care of the rest!
The man opens the wrapping of the snack and observed what would be the reaction of Fury who putting himself in attack position says:
Fury: We have nothing to give you so get out!
One of them licking the blade of the knife says:
The Brawler: So we want you!
One of them advances against anger that disarms him easily and then throws a punch in his face throwing him to the ground. The man who accompanied her is surprised by her ability, and eating the snacks is like,
Man: the girl fights very well! Apparently she has great potential! But...
Taking advantage of the distraction Taking advantage of the girl's distraction one grabs her arms from behind, and everyone begins to strike her cowardly, when she was about to faint they throw her to the ground, they begin to laugh and their leader says:
The leader of the troublemakers: now the fun will begin!
The man who accompanied her had finished his snack, and kneading the package throws on top of their leader saying:
Man: how cowardly they are! Attack someone for betrayal!
Anger preoccupied with the man says:
Fury: please, sir, don't meddle!
Furious the leader of the troublemakers says:
The leader of the troublemakers: I'll break all this old man's teeth!
The leader of the troublemakers punches the man in the face, and all his friends start laughing, and fury is agonized, suddenly the leader of the troublemakers starts screaming, all his five fingers had broken after punching the man in the face, who with a serious face says:
Man: I don't like being caressed by another man!
The man who came with Fury flips a flicker at the leader's forehead who is thrown at high speed up his comrades and vanishes into view. Surprise fury stands up and says:
Fury: how strong you are!
Man: I always hear that! Now we are very close to the Castle!
Finally the two arrive at the lotus castle, and there was a huge queue in front of their entrance, people of various ages were there to join the cage.
Man: We're here! Good luck girl! Don't forget my advice!
When the man was leaving Fury says:
Fury: wait! I hadn't introduced myself yet, my name is Fury! Can you tell me yours?
The Man says: my name is too big to memorize, but you can call me by my nickname: ZEL!
Fury is shocked to hear the nickname of the man who took her to the castle, and is left to think:
Fury: no, this crazy lord can't be Him! It's a joke! As if the lotus king dressed like this and walked among the poor!
Fury enters the queue to write himself in the cage, and there finds a girl in Indian clothing who was named Aruna, who was three years older than her, who also dreamed of joining the Lotus army more contrary to Fury she wanted to reward the king for having saved his people from destruction, Fury tried to imagine what kind of man was the Lotus king who annihilated a nation, and saved another, plus the grudge in his heart made him hate him.
Meanwhile, the gentleman who accompanied Fury snuck into the castle through the window, when a white-haired lord dressed in silver armor approached him:
The Lord: where were you? Soon you will be starting the opening ceremony for the Cage participants and you are still in your pajamas!
The Man: General Hanzou! It is also very good to see you again! How is your health:
Furious the general says:
Hanzou: Terrible if you don't get ready right away!
The man obeys the general's orders and goes to get ready, and the general goes to the meeting of the participants. After waiting almost an hour on the side
from outside finally the castle doors open to receive them, and General Hanzou greets them all:
Hanzou: welcome to Lotus Castle! I warn you that the Cage is very strict! That will make all grind their teeth, and if they want to give up that will be the memento, because when the castle doors close there will be no more back!
More than three hundred people give up right there. The general looks at those who remained saying:
Hanzou: congratulations to you! You already passed the first test! The choice! But the tests you've seen from now on will require of you strength, intelligence, skill and power, and I hope you all become great warriors as well as our king.
In thought Fury mocks the general's speech, and as if to guess her thought he replies:
Hanzou: those who mock the king are just spoiled children who can barely walk, let alone be a real warrior!
Fury became very suspicious of the general's pronouncement and avoided thinking of anything with him around.
Hanzou: now I ask you to follow me! I will take you to the place of the ceremony!
All participants enter the castle and face sight several flowers of Lotus on crystal clear waters. Fury is impressed with such beauty, and asks Aruna:
Fury: how does a man like the King possess something so beautiful inside the castle?
Aruna: This is the lotus garden of the Queen Moon!
Fury: Queen? I've never heard of her! Where is she?
Aruna: Dead! Sixteen years ago!
Fury felt after Aruna revealed that the queen was dead, as if it were someone important to her. After passing through the Lotus garden, the general takes everyone to a giant arena similar to the colosseum.
Hanzou: I ask all the participants to sit in the stands! For we will present our five commanders!
All sit in the stands, and the general goes calling the commanders one by one, the first was the commander Henrry who was the king's first disciple, the second was the commander Eva, who was also the king's disciple, the third was the commander Ike, who was a murderer absorbed by the king who today fights for justice, the fourth-in-command Natasha, the youngest of all, but possessed great potential, and finally the megaly powerful, very intelligent prodigy commander Helio. After presenting all the commanders it was time for the participants to stand before the king.
Hanzou: All rise to welcome the Lotus King!
Ready to see the face of those who wanted to kill Fury says:
Fury: today I will meet the face of the man I want to kill!
Suddenly the trumpets are played and the man who was furious at the castle appears with his beard and hair combed, dressed in a green woody, and a crown on his head.
Hanzou: with you lotus king Z...
Unconformed Fury thinks aloud:
Fury: What do you mean He's the king?
Everyone looks at her and the man says:
The Man: yes Fury! I am Zurriel Simeon Gregory! The man you wish to kill!
Everyone starts staring at her and King Zel says:
Zel: If you weren't so prejudiced against my dress, and were among the poorest, you would have found out the moment I defeated those troublemakers without any effort!
Fury was frustrated with everything that happened, and now most of the cage participants wanted his head.
