"There he is!"

Lycan was woken up by the shouts of some palace guards.

"Lycan!"

"Funny... Why do i hear the princess's voice?" Lycan thought.

"Stay back, Princess!" The guards shouted. "He's dangerous! He has destroyed many things on the way here!"

"Stand back, Rosetta." The King interupted. "Escort her back to the castle, and do what is needed."

"Yes, Sire!"

Rosetta was dragged back to the castle, and locked deep in the castle dungeons. The guards chained her up and locked the door to the cell. As the left the dungeon, part of the guard's face chipped off, revealing, a... Puppet face! The mist leaked out of them, and they collapse, and remained motionless.

Back at the Monster Guild at Megalopolis, Tykro was still doing the research on the pendant, when they heard loud footsteps at the corridor. A Mercenary dashed through the door and shouted.

"A message from Radiant! Caballa Castle was attacked. He said he witnessed the whole event. He also said that the attacker was Kitsune! He want's you all to go to the castle and investigate. The palace guards are already expecting you all."

"What?!" Chio, Aurora and Tykro shouted together.

"He wants all three of you to leave immediatly. End of report!" With that, the Mercenary saluted and exited the room.

All three of them left the building and they straight away noticed a dark mist over Rose Garden. The trio raced towards Rose Garden and right before entering, Tykro and Aurora stopped in their tracks, while Chio continued, and banged into a barrier infront.

"Ow!" Chio cried out, as she fell to the floor.

"What's a barrier doing here...?" Tykro said.

"This barrier... Isn't normal. It feels evil," Aurora replied, having a shiver. "You think it was Kitsune who did it?"

"Probably."

Tykro tried a Double Shot while Aurora tried an Arrow Ruch, but were unable to break through it.

"Done yet?" Chio asked, rubbing ber nose. "Let me try-"

Justt as she was about to finish her sentence, the air beside them rippled, and someone walked out of it. Eclipse! Her halbard's blade glowed at the edges, and she slashed down on the barrier, breaking it. "Go. The princess needs you. Right now, the palace priests are trying to remove the memory of Lycan being still alive from Rosetta.Take these Time Trap Stones. If you get a chance, give Lycan and Rosetta once each. Keep one for yourself, just in case."

After saying that, Eclipse entered the ripple, and disappeared. The trio continued forward. When they entered, they were straight away confronted by a lot of people. Not the palace guards though. They were all on the ground around Rose Garden. Instead, it were surrounded by dancers. The male dancers look alike, and same goes for the females. They were like dolls, but, they still seem alive like normal people.

"Just knock them out." Tykro said. "Seems like Kitsune has some bigger weapon this time."
Chio dashed everywhere, knocking them out one by one. Tykro used his gun's handle to knock them out, by hitting them at their neck. Aurora followed behind, casting her new skill, WhirlWind! By trapping the dancers in th whirlwind, they are protected.

Further up, before a hedge maze, they noticed a weird machine. It looked like a robot, but it has a keyboard and a computer screen. However, it was none of their concern this time, so they ignored it. The trio meet no resistance while navigating the maze, but was immediatly attacked by a group of monsters, Beast Vincentos! They were suppose to be guarding the gardens and only attack if someone threatens the garden. However, there were being coated with the dark mist. The trio couldn't sense any life through their eyes.

"You have to win a duel against us if you want to touch the flowers!" Roared all the Vincentos, before charging at the group.

"Forgive us..." Chio said, and she dashed to the centre of the group, and stuck her sword in the ground. "Inferno Blade!"

The fire blades rained down, and devastated the entire group of Vincentos. Continuing on, nothing more attacked them. However, when they neared the castle, they heard screams. To their surprise, some of the window from the front were shattered. People layed motionless around the place. More monsters emerged from the castle. Maid Lydias and Mr. Freaks. Maids and butlers from the castle? Perhaps.

They were about to enter the castle when someone at once corner called out to them. "Psst! Over here!"

The trio turned around to see a red-haired man, in green clothes. He was wearing a pair of glasses that made him look a little nerdy.

"Are you the people that Priest said that were coming? I think he was called Radiant."

"Yes, that's us." Aurora said.

"I can't be too sure. Prove it, you may be in cahoots with the Thief Master that attacked. Radiant said i can be sure, if you would clear the entrance."

"Fine," Chio said, rolling her eyes. "Troublesome..."

They returned five minutes later. The man then greeted them again. "Done?"

"Yup." Aurora said. "Anything else?"

"Nope, nothing more. This is sufficent as prove enough. My name is Alfredo. I'm a servant to the royal family here. Take this key. Go back towards the maze. Before entering, turn right. you should see some Gladiators and Mercenaries. Show it to them and they will know what to do."

After accepting the key, the trio were about to speed off, when Alfredo interupted them again. "Before i forget, take this box."

"What's in it?" Tykro asked, as he took it from Alfredo's hand.

"I do not know. I was told to pass them to you. Radiant's request. He says when the time is right, you will know what's inside."

"Alright. Let's go!" Chio said impatiently.

With that, they speed off towards the maze.

"There he is!"

Lycan was woken up by the shouts of some palace guards.

"Lycan!"

"Funny... Why do i hear the princess's voice?" Lycan thought.

"Stay back, Princess!" The guards shouted. "He's dangerous! He has destroyed many things on the way here!"
