Hours after the execution of the prince.
Farrah as the Sun Demon was in the Hideout with Scarab. They, with a few others in their group, were coming up with a plan after she told them of the Prince's death. "Seem's the king is more cruel than we thought? Offing his own son?" He shook his head in disgust.
Sun Demon reclined in her chair, "Yes. So next we target the King himself" she suggested. "We kill his daughters? Not like he would care anyway" one member suggested. 'Keep it together' Sun Demon kept her cool at the thought. "No. As you said he wouldn't care. We need to hit him where it will do the most damage. Something he cares about. That would be feeding on trapped souls in automatons. We should hit the power station?" Scarab suggested. 'Thank you' she looked at her second with gratitude. Scarab was a loyal partner when she came to him with this idea. He never knew who she was and she struggled to keep that from him. She figured it was better for his safety. Plus she was protecting him as well. He was once a cage fighter in the underground gambling dens.
He was well renowned and the day they met Sun Demon made her first appearance. He was a formidable opponent and was creative with his fighting style. His use of this element was also versatile and lethal. After that she recruited him and they have been partners ever since. For they had battled together and he never once questioned her judgement. Not to say he didn't always agree but he would try to keep morality at play with their rebellion.
"I agree. We should hit the power station. The king goes there once a day to cultivate. If we somehow time it right we destroy both. Freeing all souls trapped in the machines. But there is a catch with that. From my source the prince was in alliance with some of the guild masters who were going to use an EMP. This would destroy the power station and disrupt everything. But the king knows of this plan and will have heightened security" Scarab grinned. "When has anything ever been easy?" He chuckled at the thought. 'I always liked your spirit' she thought. Sun Demon chuckled under her mask. "You are correct" the men all laughed as well.

The King was sitting in the meeting room. "Am I correct in thinking you want a charge Sword?" Topaz asked with a sarcastic tone. "Why not? I was his second. I have contributed more to this war than all here. Our numbers dwindle with that Slayer running about" the Topaz king waved a hand. "The slayer hasn't been seen in weeks. For all we know he is dead by the Void King's own hand. Last king to fall was Emerald King. They have a new ruler now. What have you done about that!" Topaz became aggressive with his tone.
"Do I hear a hint of jealousy and contempt? Do you think you should run things?" Sword King mocked him with this. Filling the king was anger, "My soldiers would wipe the ground with your knights Sword. Do not test me. We can manufacture more than you could train. Why shouldn't I rule with my technological advancements to warfare. You hold on to some ideology of honor. When you truly don't believe it" the Topaz King stood pacing the room. "Let's call it what it is. A coup you have been wanting to dethrone the high king for a long time now. You were playing nice till this moment" Sword King was silent.
He then spoke,"from what I have learned you have turned your guilds against you and your realm is in disarray with some vigilante inspired by the King Slayer?" Topaz King became angry, 'I have a spy here and he wants me to know it' he clenched his fists hard. "Swear fealty or I decimate your realm for treason to this faction" Topaz King stopped pacing. "You truly want a war with me, Sword? Then you have one! This moment I refute you and this faction" Topaz screamed. "So be it" the Sword King said. All orbs then went quiet and dim. Topaz King stood alone in the chamber. He then sat upon his throne.

Location: Land of Chivalry
The Sword King exited his chamber of communication orbs and was met by his First Blade Draven. "How did it go, your majesty?" He asked. "Seems the Tech Realm needs to be erased. Topaz has defected from our faction. I want a legion ready to march into the Tech Realm as soon as possible. I want any data or technologies taken for us and given to our engineers" Draven nodded. "Yes sire. Shall we end incursions to the War Realm for now?" The Sword King with his helmet nodded. "For now. I want Topaz taken care of" he said with a serious tone.
Draven nodded. "I will not fail you sire" he bowed. "I know you won't" the Sword King dismissed him with a wave. He walked out his balcony overlooking his vast kingdom of towers and houses inside a circular wall. He saw knights moving about in the yard. The Sword King stood there for a while overlooking his kingdom. 'Oh Topaz you walked into that one to easily. You were first on my list anyway, but being provoked gives me justification with the others' he walked into his throne room and sat upon a stone slab with a triangular shape and gold veins running through it.
'I will overthrow the Void King. He was always a means to an end. He will be difficult but right now is the time to strike while he's weak' he then pulled out a black gem upon a gold sigil of two curved blades. He pressed it and a voice came from the other side of Con Man. "Sire," his voice said with respect.
"Con, how are you feeling?" The king asked. "I am fine, your majesty. Ready to serve." The king nodded, "Come to my throne room immediately" he put the gem down. The shadows began to stir and swirl in a dark corner of the throne room. Stepping out was the hooded and masked Con Man. He then bowed, "Thank you for my recovery my king. I feel stronger than ever" the king waved at him. "Don't take it as generosity. You are vital to my rule and you must further serve me Con" Con Man nodded. "Doesn't bother me if I get to do what I want with your blessing of course" Con Man stood at ease. "Where do you want me to go?" King stood from his throne towering over the Warrior in full armor. "I want you to dispatch the Void King. This will not be easy but we are on borrowed time. He is weak right now and this would be the best time to take him off the board. We move at the same time moving against the Tech Realm" Con Man seemed to be taken aback. "The Void King will be a challenge but I will make it happen your sire" he then turned to shadows. "Con Man be cautious this will be the hardest mark I've ever asked you to take care of. If you're captured you know you must not be taken alive?" Con Man chuckled. "You know me I always find a way to escape" he then stepped into the shadows disappearing.
