Ricky had contacted Blueberry. She called back up and the royal guards came to place Mobious under arrest. They brought the big boys and Zoe slowly woke up as a doctor gave her a special medicine that would calm her mind. She watched Mobious obediently walk past them with a sad look in his eyes.
"Looks' like our 900th battle ended with nothing, huh…" he scoffed as he slowed down in front of Blaze. "I'll be in your care, Cornelia."
"It was nice knowing you, Mobious," she replied sadly, "You were a formidable enemy."
As he kept his walking, he was pulled to a halt at the sight of a high-ranking officer and Blaze gasped at who it was. She hurried forward and jumped into his arms with a huge smile. Zoe recognized the man to be; "SILVER!"
"Hey. Got your call! It's about time I meet your mysterious nemesis, Mobious." He said with a sly smile. Zoe noticed Mobious's uneasy expression that tried to avoid eye contact with the man. She was about to speak until his eye caught hers and he smiled softly while mouthing something that surprises her. 'Thank You? Why would he say that to me? Isn't he getting captured now? Is that what he wanted?'
As he was forced into a truck, she returned her eyes at Blaze who was in the middle of getting mushy with her boyfriend. She looked away and caught Jane's eye who was scoffing and Ricky who was gagging. This made her heart lift slightly and she smiled. She joined the princesses into a car where they went off to the castle.
On the way, Silver asked Blaze whether or not he should go after the remaining members of SMS. To his surprise, she actually drew her blade at him to make him stop asking. "Honestly, Silver. He surrendered, the least we could do if fulfill his final wish…"
Jane leaned over to Zoe's ear to say her own thoughts. "I believe Blaze holds a certain liking towards SMS. I'm not sure exactly but she's never killed any of them or brought them to mortal danger."
And so, they left Soubiyo and Sorako leave according to Mobius's wish and no one was to follow them. Silver and Blaze talked to Zahira and Ricky. Apparently, Silver had managed to gain a great reputation in his small kingdom and was offered the position as grand general in the Flame Kingdom if he kept Blaze safe. Zahira and Ricky had a lot to catch up on their elder sister, so Zoe turned to face Jane.
To her surprise, Jane was glaring at Silver with a look of hatred in his eyes. She slowly nudged the ninja who looked up at her. "What is it? Need more meds?" She asked while pulling out a box given by the doctor.
"No. You just look like you're about to kill him," Zoe said with a frown. "Is there something bothering you about Silver?"
Jane moved in her seat uncomfortably before leaning in to hide their conversation. She muttered a charm and all sound around Zoe and Jane was completely shut off. Zoe looked at her with a bewildered look.
"Don't you find him odd? He's Blaze's boyfriend but only now has he ever met Mobious," She began telling her. "And the fact Mobious seems uneasy around him is something I must consider…"
"Are you telling me you actually believe in Mobious?" Zoe gasped while looking at Silver from the corner of her eyes. "Didn't that guy try to kill you?"
"Sure he was supposed to but every time we were supposed to meet, he would send Soubiyo instead, saying he's busy. That just doesn't add up…" Jane frowned. "And the one time we ever met, Mobious told me something interesting."
"What did he tell you?" Zoe asked, curiosity building up. 'Maybe this could help put something in place in my ideas…'
"He told me that…" Jane struggled with her words for a moment, "Blaze was the most interesting person in the world. The only reason I never meet up for our fights is that I'm keeping an eye on her. She is the reason why I'm still standing. I'm not letting her off before we finish what we've started. I thought he was just playing with his words and trying to confuse me. But I've been thinking of things after he was captured just now. What is his relationship with Blaze?"
"They aren't mere arch-nemesis, right?" Zoe asked back. "I mean, if they were, Blaze would've killed him on the spot. And I've read a few reports on Blaze for fun and it looks like Mobious always leaves her when she's in critical condition. He never gives her a finishing blow. Why?"
"What are you two talking about?" Zahira asked while popping into the conversation, making them jolt. "Jane, Zoe needs' her rest. You can talk to her after she becomes the secretary of DoA!" She scolded while pulling Zoe's head to her lap.
Zoe eyes Jane and she mouthed 'late' before returning her gaze to the window. Zoe decided to oblige the bunny girls' wish and slowly closed her eyes. As she did, she felt slightly happy. 'When this is over, I can finally meet mom. I'm sure Queen Arlina had set up a grave for her best friend!' And with that, she fell into a deep sleep.
As they arrived, Jane offered to carry Zoe to the infirmary where she would be given the best treatment while Silver brought Mobious away to the dungeons. The sisters walked into the palace throne room and faced the woman who had summoned them all with a flying pixie by her side.
"Hello, my daughters! Welcome home!" Queen Arlina greeted them with a smile. "We have so much caught up to do but I'm sure you're exhausted from your journey and need rest so your rooms await-"
She was stopped by Ricky's frontal tackle and laughed at her daughters' reaction. Zahira was teary-eyed and slowly approached her before joining in a double hug. Blaze stood the furthest away and watched them before sharing an acknowledging nod from her mother.
In the infirmary ward, Jane laid Zoe on an empty bed and heaved a heavy sigh. 'If I have someone else that also approves Mobious, maybe I can get him out of here…' Zoe's eyes slowly fluttered open, and maneuvered her hand on top of Janes'. This caught her attention and looked down.
"I do, Jane. I do believe Mobious," she stated with a one of certainty in her voice. "But I can't help you just yet. If you can wait until I become the Secretary of DoA, maybe I can help…"
Before Jane could reply, Blaze entered the ward and found Zoe awake on the bed, sitting up with a smile. The others had also arrived and they were chatting happily together. Ricky, Zahira, and Zoe filled Queen Arlina in with every detail of their journey. While they did that, Jane glanced at her elder sister and asked her to follow her. They exited the room and the two stood in an alley.
Blaze gave her sister a playful smile; "What's up, J-J? You not happy?" She asked while nudging Janes' shoulder.
"Stop acting dumb, Blaze," She growled which dropped her elder sisters smile "You know what this is about."
"Yeah...You don't trust Silver; like always. And you believe that Mobious has a bit of goodness," she sighed while rubbing her non-itchy hair; "I've heard this from you for millions of times…I don't care what you think! We are getting engaged, Jane! And at that moment, you have to accept him even if it kills you, got it?"
"….Sheesh….What a troublesome sister.." Jane huffed while leaving her sister in the alley with a dark look on her face. "I wish you happiness. But not him…"
The two sisters had always argued yet they both denied either belief. Not wanting to betray each other's line of respect, they keep quiet and keep that a secret between themselves. What they didn't know was that Zoe had heard, and she was quietly calculating what was going on…' Well, I'll deal with that duo later. For now, rest is important' and she slept….
