"Juco, are you crazy!? We can't just go and force our beliefs onto other people. That's not how the world works." I say.
" The world is what you make it. In our world it's practically survival of the fittest. We have to be on top, we have to be better." Juco says.
"How long have you been planning this?" I ask.
" For a long time, I won't let anyone get in my way. So I ask you brother, will you join me?" Juco asks.
" I can't join you. I also can't let you do this." I say.
"Well then that's your mistake." Juco says.
"Everyone get down!" Baek yells from behind us. I turn around and Juco already has a sword unsheathed ready to strike me down. Rev runs towards me and pushes me down before the blade connects with me.
"You have been a problem since you got here." Juco says.
" You've been acting suspicious since I met you." Baek says.
"Plus why would you constantly be using body altering mana technique. If you weren't hiding something." Baek says.
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"Your boy Juco has been using body altering mana. To hide his calluses from practicing swordsmanship and his branded weapon. Of course the bird tattoo on his shoulder isn't obvious. So you wouldn't expect it to be a weapon." Baek says.
"There's no way. I've known Juco for years and I've never seen him have a callus on his hands." I say.
" Body altering mana technique only takes effect on those who can see. So it would never work on someone like me who doesn't use their eyes. Watch out for his sword though It's invisible and a saber. The only reason why you saw it just now is because he allowed you to.`` Baek says.
" Well I wanted to give my friend a chance to defend himself. It would be unfair of me to kill off such a great war hero." Juco says.
"You're right though. I only have the basics of mana technique besides body altering. I'm truly proficient in weapon arts. I was hoping I could use my truth on you when Travis attacked Rev. However, even when going against a family head you refused to take off your blindfold." Juco says.
"It wasn't necessary yet. Now how would you like to lose your life?" Baek asks.
"Let's just leave." I say.
"What?" Rev asks.
" It's best for us to leave. Juco has peace and his truth. Which means that this must be Buddha's will. So let's leave." I say.
"Okay I'll open a portal." Baek says.
" You are making a great decision." Juco says. Baek starts leading everyone through the portal.
"I won't let you get away with this." I say to Juco.
" Bye bye." Juco says.

"What are we going to do now?" Rev asks.
"Juco is serious about starting war. A war with the 6 family heads is extremely dangerous. Not just for the people involved there will be millions of unnecessary casualties." Kaia and Laia say.
"We have to find Travis. I know where he is Rev and I will pay him a visit." I say.
" Baek where are we?" Reznakov asks.
" We are in area 6 of the slums right now. This is one of my safehouses." I say.
"Reznakov, you good?" Rev asks.
"Yeah I'll be fine. When do you guys think Juco will take action?" Reznakov asks.
" We have no idea." I say.
Reznakov looks sad and goes to lay down.
" We would like to apologize for how our student treated you Baek." Kaia and Laia say.
" It's okay. It was my fault for being weaker than him at that time." I say.
" Rev has told us that you've convinced him to serve under you." Kaia and Laia say.
"Yeah I was able to beat him in his truth." I say.
" That's impressive even we couldn't beat his truth gamblers' den." Kaia and Laia say.
" Yeah the house doesn't always win." I say.
" You guys need to be careful of Juco's truth. It's called the mind's eye. It allows him control over any sentient being. Rev he probably took control of your orbs the day Travis attacked you." Kaia says.
"Not everyone's truth will give you a chance at winning. Truths don't require any mana usage either so their abilities can be highly dangerous. I would recommend you two gain access to your truths as fast as possible." Laia says.
"We will." Rev says.
" It won't matter if there isn't anyone I can't beat." I say.
" This one has a lot of confidence." Laia says.
"Joker come out." I say.
"What do you need me for?" Joker asks.
" I wanted to allow you to meet your past teachers again. I'll see you later come on Rev." I say.
" Wait, you can't leave me with them. They are worse than demons. " Joker pleads.
" It's good to see you too, Joker." Kaia says.
" We have a lot to catch up on." Laia says.
" Isn't it bad leaving him with them?" Rev says.
" Eh he'll be alright. Let's go to Travis, he's close by." I say.
" How do you know?" Rev asks.
" After he attacked us he probably went looking for remnants of Stitch. So the first place he would go is the slums." I say.
" Okay I have some rules before we do this." Rev says.
" What do you mean by rules?" I ask.
" No unnecessary destruction to the environment, no killing, and absolutely no civilian casualties." Rev says.
" That's a lot of rules." I say.
" Follow them. I'm not asking." Rev says.
" Yes sir." I say jokingly.
"Look at you following orders like an obedient dog." NoTe says.
" You can't ignore me. You can barely ignore the lost souls clinging to your body. You should probably sleep, letting your mental state get bad is dangerous." NoTe says.
" Go back to whatever dark hole you came out of." I say back.
"I'll see you soon." NoTe says.
"Lycan can you come out but in a smaller form." I say.
"Who is Lycan?" Rev asks.
"Lycan is a part of the Cerberus tribe. I told him to get smaller but I didn't expect him to take the form of a raccoon." I say.
"Is this earth? I like earth." Lycan says.
"Why can I hear him in my head?" Rev asks.
"You guys stop asking so many questions. Lycan this is blood from Travis Kendrath. I need you to find him for me. He's somewhere close by." I say.
" I thought you could find him on your own?" Rev asks.
" I can but I figured Lycan was bored staying in the forgotten world." I say.
