Everyone moved out of Frost's way. He towered over all of the humans in the ship. Rue led Frost to a room that was at the bottom of the massive ship. "You people sure have upgraded." Frost said.
"Have no choice. These people are greedy and selfish. Spend all of their time on technology that destroys things, rather than on building it." Rue answered. Rue opened the door. "Ladies first."

In the room, there was a wooden table and two wooden chairs, nothing but that and four walls. Rue shut the door and sat down. "They can't hear us from in here. We get to talk about all the gritty stuff." Rue laughed, his white teeth complimenting his pale skin. "Right. I'm here to lay a deal out for the humans and you."
Rue Leander foward and put both his hands underneath his chin. "Oh, so ask."
"There's a species of aliens. They go by "mythical beast," Frost said. "These things are rather strong. Is tricked a deal with the higher-ups to help summon their king."
Rue held up his finger. "Now, why…would you do that? Huh, Frost?" Rue asked while tilting his head slightly to the side."
"For the better future of our race. My girlfriend hasn't been able to sleep at night for years because of him. She kept having visions of him killing her." Frost said while slamming his fist on the table.
Rue looked intrigued. "Who's "him?", Rue asked, squinting his eyes in his expression. "Adisa Anunnaki. Two years prior to me sealing him, she kept having visions of him slicing her apart." Frost explained.
Rue leaned back in his chair playfully. "Now, why would you seal him? If I'm not mistaken, you two were best friends, no? Why seal your friend, Frost?" Rue asked curiously.
"I feel like we're going back in time and not worrying about the future", Frost scolded Rue.
"I just want to know." Rue said with a cold reply, his face changing from a child's play to a straight killer. Frost then chuckled. "Adisa…if I hadn't sealed him, there would've been an entire war on the island. My family, the Kani clan, Blind clan, Blood clan, all of the clans…they would've fought amongst themselves. I stopped that war. I…stopped that death. I…sacrificed my family." Frost said in a powerful, tense, and emotional voice.
Rue sat up and stared at Frost. "When I was on that island with you apes, I didn't really see my old man. Was born into the world…and my own mother…heh…my very own mother didn't even love me. Mind you, she never put her hands on me, I mean not once. The thing that pained me the most…was she made sure I knew…that I was a fuck up in her life. One night, I see people from your clan, the frost clan, come into my home and kill my mother. Even after all of that…I hugged my mother until she took her last breath. A few days go by and I finally found my father. He has his own big family and could care less about me. I even try to fit In with the family," before Rue could finish Forst said "what does that have to do with-"
Rue put a finger up and smiled. (His mental stability is getting worse), Frost thought. "Even after what my mother and father did to me…I don't think I'd have it in me to kill my family. My father, maybe…but you…man, you had it all. A father figure, a big family, a prince…and most of all…friends." Rue said. "So, I ask you, Frost…just…what kind of monster are you?" Rue asked with a big smirk on his face and watery eyes.
Frost moves in closer. "Sacrifice for the great or good. I made the right call. I saved my race from war that would've killed thousands of us," Frost said with a crack voice.
Rue put on his hat and smirked. "Now, being that you didn't kill the brat, you have beast here."
"They would've came regardless. They were in our higher-ups squad." Frost countered back. "Fair point, Frost…fair point. But you must clean up the mess you made. If you would've just stopped the higher-ups, maybe even just killed them…the king would not be here and none of this mess would've happened. It would just be the humans to worry about but, all well." Rue slammed his hands on the table and pulled himself even close to Frost, his nose was almost touching Frost's. "I'm so glad you did what you did! You damn monster! This is what makes life worth living! People say peace and harmony is way, no! The same way people like the humans have their own rules. Tell me, Frost…what do you think their true nature is?! Billions of humans around the world want peace but, these animals aren't programmed that way, no. If rule from leaders or the government didn't exist…laws even…the world would be a complete mess! Animals just running around stealing and killing and more", Rue said with a crazy look in his eyes. "You made the right choices, Frost." Rue sat back down and fixed his hat. "I'll contact my partner. He will give us the green light. I want you to report back here tomorrow in the morning and we shall see if…we can team our people up." Rue chuckled.
"The Akies won't like it", Frosts said. "You nuked us. Lots of us are dead. If I can manage to talk them into it…we will merge our armies on the shore of the island and come up with a strategy."
"Sounds good." Rue replied. Frost stood up and fixed his suit. "Don't forget who you are, Frost. You're no good guy…you're the devil." Rue said with a smile.
Frost took a deep breath. "Yeah."
"Oh, and don't forget…we kill Adisa, even if our armies are together. You make sure Adisa is there and on the battlefield." Rue added.

Ellowyn uses what remaining roots in the ground to lift herself into the air while the other roots sighed a hole.
"I need…a body…get me another body, roots."
Ellowyn's body was plunged into the hole. The roots wrapped around her.

Joster opened his eyes and let out a powerful yell. "What?!" Joster looked around to see a confused Charlie, Flow, Aubrie, Jerome, and Jericho. "Who…who are you people?!"
"He must've hit his head." Jerome said as he sharpened his blade. "We fought with you, dumbass," Jericho said. "It's a good thing we've got this little time guy. Me and Jerome would've died," Jericho laughed as he put his sword away and tied up his hair.
Joster turned to look at Flow. The kids aura almost knocked Joster out of his resting bed. (This kid…he's a problem.)

Adisa's chest was split open. Blood gushed out as he took a fighting stance with his black sword. "Tired, Adisa?" Tank asked as he pulled out his large axe. "You kidding me? I'm just getting started, Tank!"
"Good." Tank replied.
The large golden-crystal like lion looked at the two beings train for some time. Adisa had finally let the Nomain lion out from its crystal form. Adisa and the lion have agreed to train each other and grow.
"You wanna join?" Adisa asked the massive creature. The lion yawned and showed off it's claws. "I'd kill you, Adisa. Tank is holding back. We have what? Three years in here. I think I'll take you on once you can handle Tank a little." The lion said while licking its paws.
Adisa rested the sword on his shoulder and rolled his eyes. "What a pain in my ass."
