"It's too late for explanations now. Lord Darklord has already determined your betrayal, and you all must face punishment!"
DARK EDGE's words, as he slowly approached SkyStars, imposed immense pressure.
SkyStars continued to insist on his innocence, desperately trying to convince DARK EDGE and the others.
"Listen to me, I really didn't betray him. It must have been someone else! I have proof; I haven't left Storm City recently. You can ask around!"
In his frantic state, SkyStars scrambled for reasons, knowing full well they were unlikely to believe him.
His only hope was to stall for time, placing all his trust in John's timely arrival.
"Do you think anyone will believe your words?"
DARK EDGE was now standing right in front of SkyStars, his blade drawn and pointed menacingly at SkyStars' cheek.
"I hope you believe me; I truly did not betray Lord Darklord!"
SkyStars' voice trembled as he spoke, fear evident in his tone.
