Time Skip: Present
As we ventured through the jungle, there were many different types of species there, mainly hybrids though, and I was confused as heck. Like, there were dragonfly's mutated with a boar that was mutated with a rhino and all that kind of junk. They all seemed aggravated at us simply walking around this jungle, but they weren't that strong at all, they were weak enough for Hui and Juni to take care of without our interfereing. We weren't attacked by any spies either, nor any reapers, which worried me. The Imperial Castle of Trine was only minutes away, until we found the king of the jungle. This lil' sucka was easily considered the 'king' as it was by far the biggest mutant I saw, comprising of Harpy, Golem, Tiger, Lion, Cheetah, Jaguar, Leopard, Sphinx, Eagle, Dragon, and a few other species I didn't recognize at first. It all became clear to me, and my suspicions were equally correct.
We didn't act at first (me and Hazen) , but it seemed so that Hui and Juni thought it was another one of the previous ones. I tried to warn them, but they didn't listen. "God damnit," I murmered, as I went towards them. Juni did a few nods to Hui, and they charged at the 'King' . Juni first shot a few arrows at the King, and it simply deflected off of his body. His body was just that strong, so I supposed his body was made with a layer of dragon scale's as well. Juni decided to go for a piercing elemental arrow, which focuses most of the air resistance away from the tip, stretching the string to its maximum capacity, and then, infused ME on the very tip of the arrow, but very concentrated, and shot directly at his neck. The King knew he couldn't have deflected it, so, he took the smart route, and flew upwards with his 4 wings, which lifted him very high in the first flap.
"Good, good! " was all Juni said, and then she made a weird cross with her fingers, and Hui acted. Hui then jumped upwards, and , without any weapon, smashed King to the ground, with her bare fists, and King plummeted down to the Earth, and fell unconscious. "Told you we could do it. We were only able to do it together, however." Hui said, and then she gave me the weird stare again, which I couldn't tell why. 'I'm with an eccentric bunch.' I thought to myself, and continued to venture through the jungle. Apparently King's mate had arrived, and when she saw that her future husband was dead, she too, angered. She was the same mutant as him, but with female counterparts. I then looked at her with an angry face. "We.. don't .... have... time... for... THIS!" and I transformed Yagrik into Yartsdra in a mere instant, taking only a chunk of Yagrik, and pierced a hole into her chest, and she fell down, dead, instantly. "Damn, we just keep on getting attacked, lets just go out of this jungle." and Hazen seemed confused. "Yoshi! Let's fly! Wait, what the hell? Are you telling me... that we could have been flying THIS ENTIRE GOD DAMN TIME?!" and I told him to calm down, telling him that I just wanted to be sure we didn't stand out, but by now, with the ruckus we caused, we are sure to have been found out. I was right.

Imperial Castle - Headquarters
"We have been breached!" the security guard had said. I knew someone was coming for me, but I couldn't tell who it was. It could most certainly not be RagNar-Ok, or Raizel, so who could it have been? I couldn't worry about this, though, because I still had some things to do, and ever since that treaty I had created with Raizel, problems have simply been growing. I left a few Flugre back at Heaven, to help with its defense, but I don't think they would be sufficent, especially due to the fact they were simpletons, not elite's or any other. Just, pure, normal civillians, who had not ever fought in there lives before. I went outside, to the balcony of my room. and looked at the Jungle, and saw smoke coming from where Uki is. I then , using my skill, realized that Uki and Umi were both killed, but by who? I knew I had to act against whosoever did this, so I stood in my balcony, waiting for them to leave the jungle, where I would have them killed at sight. "Guards, if you see anyone come out of quadrant 4.002.31 , kill them immediatly." and then they did the stupidest thing ever. They started flying.

"Man! This feels so good! I haven't flew in a while now!" Hui had said, making barrel rolls and such. She seemed playful now. She didn't give me the stare anymore, not while we were in the air, atleast, and she didn't ask me any more weird questions for a while now. I then saw a few bullets start flying in our direction, but Hui didn't notice it, nor did Juni, so I asked Hazen to take care of Hui. He looked first confused, and then realized why I said so. Then, in an instant, Hazen and I grabbed the two harpy's , and , with them, flew downwards, in order to dodge the bullets. "God damnit, pay more attention, Juni!" I said, and then let her go, when we were safe. Hazen did likewise, but simply said. "Hui! Bullets." I facepalmed, like, what the hell kind of explanation is that?

Juni seemed to blush when I grabbed her , out of the blue, but she understood it, however, Hui pinched Hazen's cheeks, telling him not to do that again, else it would be something else that is pinched... . My thoughts were correct, we have been found out. I decided to make us fly quicker, so, Hui and Juni will fly a lone pair, behind us, so that they don't stray ahead to far, and I'll create a pair of makeshift wings for Hazen and I. After that, we flew directly infront of them, while they continued to try and shoot us down, because of what they were ordered to, or so I thought.
Some of them were following order, yet, I could tell some of them were doing it for the pleasure. Although I could guess Trine's pets were those 'King's , which would make her angry and want to kill us, but some of them were shooting Hui's wings, Juni's legs, just to see the suffering and pain, however Trine told them for a quick kill. They were cruel hearted, these Flugre. Seems like some still were like there primitive ancestors, without any sense, and just a lust of killing. These people were heartless, and it pissed me off. So, I was tired of this game, so I killed them.
"Oh you fools, who take pleasure in the suffering of others, you will now return back to which you began from, from my very own two hands. Now, ask for forgiveness, plead all you want, but this is your ill fate. " I conveyed these words by changing sound waves into this speech, and then making them travel towards the flugre guards. I transformed a chunk of Yagrik into spears, and then with an ease of a finger movement, each of them flew towards a flugre at increasing speed, and with the help of heatsync, and the trackers I planted amist the sound waves, I was able to hit each target dead on. "Wasn't that a bit cruel? I don't think Trine will listen to reason now." Juni said, after seeing how I killed each of them. I told her she would still listen to reason, because that is in her nature, according to Hazen atleast, who is usually absentminded, but is helpful when the time comes.
We then landed in the clearing, at the gates of the castle. "We're running out of time, got any plan, Johnny~Boy?" Hazen said, one of the first 'smart' things he said while we were here. " I hear you buddy," and I smashed the gate open, sounding the alarms. Everytime a guard came, rather than killing them, I just darted them with a fluid that has diluted opium powder in it, to keep them unconscious for a while. It was a crude method, but worked nontheless.
We then entered into the Queen's floor, the 10th, because most likely in a castle they would choose to be on the highest floor there is. The moment we entered , she stabbed me in the heart, and I spat out some blood, and fell down. "Wh...wha ... what the hell were you doing, to my people? To poor Uki and Umi? How cruel are you! And you guys, Juni, Hui, and, Human lord? Why did you accompany this cruel bastard?" and I stood up. "Now,now miss, no need to get hasty, we came here just for a chat." and she screamed again. She was more of a wimp than I thought. "W..wa...What? How are you alive? I stabbed you!" and I chuckled.
"Yes, you did, and it hurts, here, take a look." and I took off part of my shirt, to show her how my heart is healing. "It's much quicker now, so, you can consider me with an immortal capability, but this one, is much better than your's or the reaper's, because my head is not a fatal weakness, and with you, your heart." I said, pointing her dagger at her heart. She then looked at me with sorrow and said, "I'm sorry! Just, please don't hurt my followers! I'll negotiate. What do you want? I'll do anything!" and she continued weeping. This time Juni and Hui cheered her up.
"Queen~dono. We have only came to ask you about the negotiation and treaty you signed with Raizel~San. Now, just sit down, calm down, and please tell them about the deal you striked with Raizel, so that they can infer the situation, and help us end this war. " and she nodded. "Okay, where do you want me to start, boy?" and I took a deep breath, and said. "First off, please call me Johnny. Second, start from the beginning, by that I mean the situation of the Flugre Continent, Flume, before you striked the deal with Raizel, the things that lead to it, and what the deal was, and the outcome. That is all, after that, I'll tell you how we can act against Raizel, and I would most likely be able to guess what his plan is. The only thing I know is that he wants to do something with God, because, according to your guard's memory, the next attack was in Heaven, and the first was the Dragon. He is probably gathering material from each dimension, such that he can create something, so this is all for an ulterior motive. Now, are you ready to talk?" and Trine cleared her throat. "Okay.. so... it began like....... "
