"You damned brats, what are you doing here?" Raul said, looking like he was going to burst out with anger.
"You should have run away, while you could. Your pathetic little lives have no meaning."
In the back, all the henchmen seemed to take up an attacking formation, waiting for a command from their master.
"And here, I thought you would like this little reunion" Jasper looked at him with a sarcastic face "And I'm sorry for your dog's arm."
Jerry looked at them with bloodthirsty eyes, clutching onto his metallic arm.
"Thank you, you little runt, I managed to get an upgrade 'cause of ya. I shall torture you because I know you aren't gonna pay those 1 billion units back" Jerry's arms were making some sort of mechanical whirring.
"See, we are on a different topic, do not divert it." Says Jasper with a sarcastic face, which hit a nerve for Jerry.
"Seems like your gonna need a full body upgrade, after I'm done with you." Uzair opens his bag. "Jasper, it's your turn to be the bagman"
"Nahhh, it's too much work" Jasper says while yawning. "Besides, you do the job pretty well…"
"You… I'm gonna kill you before I'll beat that old man up." Uzair gets visibly pissed off, while Jasper is mocking him and running back and forth while Uzair tries to catch him.
"SILENCE" said Raul, getting off from his throne.
"You can never be serious. You deserved that. This is why She died."
"What did ya say, you Geezer?" Jasper says that in a menacing tone and looks at him with a serious face which even made Uzair quiet.
Jasper suddenly remembers a vague memory about a girl, who looked almost the same age as Jasper, must have been older than him.
She is seen to have been wearing glasses, was happily eating a cookie with him. Someone calls her, her face, turning visibly sorrowful, looks at Jasper, with a pretty but sorrowful smile, says
"Can you save some of those for me?" while she goes out with a henchman.
While he reminisces all of the stuff, a henchman runs forward and attacks him with a Korbahn mace. He hit him with a huge impact force dealing high knockback. Japer is flung to the air and is hit to a wall.
With that, all the henchmen start mocking Jasper, while Uzair was being pinned by another henchmen. As the laughter dies out, Jasper gets up, and spits his tooth out.
He tilts his head dead straight at Raul.
"I should have been there, instead of her. She saved me. Now that I think about it, it's all my fault."
Jerry runs high speed towards Jasper with a Korbahn sword, for which Jasper looks at him.
With every thrust, Jasper seems to be dodging almost effortlessly, looking like he teleported, which it almost looks like to be. Jerry, screaming at the top of his lungs, takes a huge swing at Jasper.

"Huff, huff" Jasper breathes, and turns his head left and right. Then he looks down. He has Raul on a chokehold, while all the other henchmen lay down on the floor, while Uzair cleaned up the blood from his dagger.
"Please, I beg of you, let me go…" begs Raul, looking like the very thing that he was mocking Jasper with.
"What did I do now?" though Jasper. "I remember I was fighting Jerry."
Jasper then let go of Raul, walked down. Then looked at Jerry, whose arms and body was almost mutilated.
"You didn't kill anyone, did you?" Jasper conversing with Uzair "No, they are alive, but useless."
"Jasper, now listen to me, I was the one who saw, the potential in you. Only if it weren't for those Greedy PRESERVATORS. It wasn't your fault. I'm sorry." Raul looking ashamed of what he had done.
"I think the greed of power really got onto my head. I just spoke with a PRESERVATOR, supposedly, she was undergoing a training for an assassination. Many people died during that training. Yesterday, I received a letter. A letter from the higher ups. I hear that she maybe aliv…"
An arrow landed straight on Raul's head. Which instantly killed him. Someone looked at Jasper and Uzair from the window, and ran away.
Jasper, shocked by what just happened asks Uzair to go chase, Uzair seems to be exhausted.
Jasper mourns for the death of Raul.
"I thought he would survive anything. After all, He is the one who mentored me."
Uzair and Jasper share a moment of silence for Raul. They take Raul's body and bury it under the same tree from which Raul made wooden swords for Jasper and Uzair
They head back to their base. And Uzair finds out he has been damaged by an 8th Grade poison, which temporarily gave him nausea.
"Hehe, now I think I may have to help you eat the Pizza."
A Loud Sound is heard outside their base
"What now?" An exhausted Jasper sighs.
A team of armed men suddenly burst into the place. Pointing several Guns at them, ready to act. The armed men mask Jasper and Uzair, sedate them, took them to an unknow island.
.

"This is not funny, I have been knocked unconscious for over 3 times today." Jasper wails through the mask.
"Hello, JASPER REDD" an unknown voice is heard.
"We are from the S.T.A.R Corps." The unknown voice seems to be munching on something. You seem to be good in CQC (Close Quarters Combat), so we need someone like you on our ACT team."
"Uhhhhh….. who is this now?" Jasper seems confused.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. I am the Chief of The Quick action team, Atiff Kahn"
