Anew said, "Great, it hasn't been one month since I have become a knight, yet I am already a fugitive."
Faiz replied, "Guess not the best first month, but again, nothing to do. Don't worry, soon you will be a former fugitive and might even get a promotion."
Astrea remarked, "Well, guess we are criminals now."
Aoi chimed in, "Now that we are criminals, want to try something illegal?"
Leo intervened, "We are already in a mess, no need to make a bad situation worse."
Aoi persisted, "But I wanted to rob a bank."
Astrea cautioned, "But then we would be real criminals."
Aoi retorted, "As if we aren't right now."
Faiz then addressed the group, "For now, everyone take some rest and see if we can do anything, because things aren't looking the brightest now."
Riruru suggested, "We should probably go inside, looks like a storm is coming, and a strong thunderstorm at that too."
Faiz agreed, "Yeah, you guys, so down. I have something to take care of in the forest."
As Faiz entered the forest, thunder began to roar violently. It was as if the sky itself was raging. Soon, a thunderbolt struck right next to Faiz.
Faiz muttered, "Do you made it after all, Masaki?"
Masaki appeared, asking, "Faiz, what happened? Why the hell are you all fugitives in the newspapers?"
Faiz explained everything to Masaki.
Masaki exclaimed, "Damn, that's hilarious!"
Meanwhile, in a faraway Zecres base, it was being destroyed by Fitchel, Joseph, Sarah, and Celestio.
Celestio declared, "We are the Burst Legion of Existforger, and we won't let you get away after the crap you pulled on our knighthood. You will be destroyed!"
When the master of the base emerged, Celestio confronted, "Are you the leader around here?"
The master confirmed, "Yes, I am."
Celestio grinned, "Good, now I will kill you myself."
After the attack, the entire Zecres base was destroyed, and they took a few files from the wreckage. None except the master survived.
Celestio concluded, "Our work is done, we have what we came here for."
Masaki offered, "Faiz, do you need any kind of help?"
Faiz declined, "No, we are good. Thanks for asking."
Masaki informed, "The captain sent me here to check up on you guys."
Faiz nodded, "I guess it's about time."
Masaki bid farewell, "Got it, see you around. I will be waiting for you in Celes Port."
