Chapter 10: Chapter 10: The Exchange

It was the day of their trade. While performing their daily training, a butler came rushing towards them and told Leo of the commotion happening at the Castle's front gate. Montana and Leo decided to end their Sparring and got ready to go to the gate. As Montana passes though the Throne Room, she remembered of the sword, and the deal the two had in the Vision Realm the last time they met. She asks Leo to go without her as she heads towards the Kings Office. When she reaches it, she catches her breath and enters.

King Roderick: Montana? Aren't you supposed to be dealing with the Robbers? I dont have the time to talk, my dear... Our neighbors ar-

Montana: Ohh I was just on the way there, but i remembered something...

King Roderick: Well... Tell me, my dear. What do you need?

Montana: The Key to the Crown Room, I need the Sword

King Roderick didnt answer instead he looked at her straight in the eyes and saw that she wasnt messing around. After thinking why, he puts down the pen and lets out a sigh before answering.

King Roderick: No, you cant take that

Montana: B-but-

King Roderick: Its too dangerous, even for you. As your father I forbid you from using that.

Montana wanted to answer back and persuade him, but she didnt know how. Instead she gave up knowing that she didnt have enough time to waste, so she headed towards the gate where all the commotion was. When she reached the Gate, she saw that two of the Rogues were there. The guards were surrounding The Guardian as he was holding back Leo, protecting the rogue behind him. Montana remembered the Rogue behind him was the same partner the Assassin had who they've caught before. After getting near them, she hears the guards freaking out after not knowing what to do as she interrupts the two from fighting and speaks.

Montana: Heyy stop it! Stop!

Leo: What're you doing here! We never gave you permission to enter the Palace!

But even after that, the Guardian never answered instead, kept on going forward. Until Montana blocked his way when she tried to push him only to see that he wouldn’t budge

The Guardian: The Meeting, ive come to escort you...

Montana: Okayy okay, stop! We'll get ready, you go back to your leader, tell him to get ready for the Exchange.

The Guardian: My liege ordered me to follow behind to make sure nobody else follows, only you and your Knight.

Montana: N-no, you have five people, even if its just an exchange, shouldnt I have my own security? For safety purposes.

The female rogue then tucked the Guardians robe, as he looks at her from behind. The Guardian then kneeled down as he listens to the Rogue whisper something in his ear.

Rogue Helper: Your Hi—Our Leader gave us permission to accompany them all the way back but also to choose who she brings inside, He asked me but i trust you more with this

The Guardian looked at the Rogue once again as she nods in agreement. He lets out a sigh and stands back up and looked at Montana. Montana greeted him with a serious glare, hoping that they'd agree to what she asked for. The Guardian took a couple of steps closer and spoke saying.

The Guardian: I've received new orders, you can bring whoever you want to bring, but only 4 others will enter with you. The others will stay outside.

Montana: Thank you, I will get back to you in a moment, the carriages will be ready.

Rogue Helper: A-actually, our orders included to separate you and the other four from the others.  

Montana was shocked at first to hear the Rogue's voice for the first time, but she had to focus more on what she said. After thinking of what to do she nods at the Guardian and gave Leo a signal as he goes closer.

Montana: Tell the others. We're leaving at 10 minutes.

Leo: As you wish.

Leo went back first as Montana asks the Guardian and the Rogue to wait outside the Castle's walls, after the two exits the gate, Montana went back to the palace and got ready for the Exchange. While on the way, she sees her Father and asks once more if she could bring the sword, but was once again denied by the King who was headed towards a different Kingdom. She heads towards the Gate and meets up with the Twins, Dain, and Leo who volunteered to be Montanas main group who would enter their base. While on the way, the carriage was quiet, nobody talked and only the sound of the horses running were heard. Until Montana decides to initiate a conversation.

Montana: You're the same one who the Assassin saved right?

Rogue Helper: A-ahh yes, I am...

Montana: May I ask who you are? Or at least what they call you.

Rogue Helper: I don’t have a name. My code is R3 ... I handle the equipment and all the things they use.

Montana: Oh? So you’re a helper.

The Guardian gave her a nudge using his elbow and signaled the Rogue not to continue, when Montana saw this, she looked at him and spoke.

Montana: We're having an exchange, right? There's no need to be so overprotective

The Guardian: One of our group asked me to protect her, it'd be a nuisance if something happened.

Montana: you mean the Assassin? What’s your relationship with him?

The Guardian: She will not speak to you anymore.

When they reached their destination, they all got out and saw the masked man at the entrance who seemed to be waiting for them, Montana goes closer to him and spoke saying.

Montana: The deal never included you to send your men over the Palace, I had quite a problem there now with all the gossiping.

Masked Rogue: I apologize, I had new plans

Montana: So... Where’s the girl? And the equipment you stole.

Masked Rogue: Once again, it wasn't stolen. I will show you why we did that, and what we have in mind.

The group then entered the base as the Guardian blocks the others from entering. While walking, Montana stares at the Masked Rogue while thinking of something. Just before she could talk, the Helper spoke and guided them towards what it seemed to be an underground base. Montana and the others were shocked of how carefree they were, showing everything to the. Meanwhile Montana takes the opportunity as they slowly go down using the platform.

Montana: What’s with the sudden change of plans?

Masked Rogue: I wanted to show you... an issue my Country is going through.

Montana: And what does this have to do with our exchange.

Masked Rogue: You will see.

The group then started to walk after the platform reached the lowest floor. They continued to walk until they reached what it seemed to be a vault and the assassin guarding its entrance. After that, the Masked Rogue nodded at the Assassin as he opens the vault. Inside it contained a virtual table, which Dain noticed instantly. Dain whispered at Montana’s ear and informed her that the table was mostly used to contain and save information. In the middle of the room stood a man writing at the board. The whole group was left in shock after figuring out that it was the General who went missing.

Montana: Y-you? Why are you here? You went missing after the explosion

Masked Rogue: He is one of my generals, he went undercover to help us succeed in our plan.

General: Yes, I was undercover after capturing the real General, he will be included in the exchange.

Masked Rogue: Tell the princess the events occurring in our land.

General: S-sir?

Masked Rogue: To create trust between our groups, since it could be helpful in the future.

General: As you wish... Well then, if I could have your attention please.

The General stopped writing in the board and went closer to the table, and played a video as he continues to explain.

General: Our Motherland…

It is currently in the middle of a battle. It first happened with only demonic beings who suddenly appeared after a Spatial Rift appeared. These demonic beings are mostly unknown. They were swift, powerful, and have an insatiable hunger for blood. Countless people died that day. After that event, the King called out to gather talented people to train and participate in defending our homeland. Even without magic, we fought against the demons, we grew stronger and relied on our creations. Until he appeared, he who calls himself a Servant of the God of Death. Even with all the training our soldiers had, they were all defeated by that person. Before that person reached the walls, the Prince stood up against him, he stopped the demon but could’t kill it, The Servant escaped by creating a rift. Ever since that day, the Demonic beings attacking our Kingdom had begun to slowly evolve, and now even with all the technology and creation we have, only a certain group can stop them, the Elite Rogue being one of them. We fear that our kingdom will not be able to survive soon but we came to Princess Sophie's Kingdom after receiving a report that one of our subordinates, who escaped and abandoned us were there. Thus, we infiltrated and took what he had created. We're supposed to head back to our kingdom and report back to the Princess to begin new plans to hold back the next attack.

The group went quiet after learning their story, after a while of thinking, Montana looks at the Masked Rogue as she spoke saying.

Montana: So... What you're basically saying is, you have to go back "with" the equipment...

General: Y-yes, your highness.

Leo raised his sword at the Masked Rogue as he shouts at him in anger.

Leo: So, you come here, after stealing from someone else, then kill our people. Offer a deal after getting cornered and expect us to believe and let you go?!

Helper: It’s not just our land! We’re telling you this to inform you to prepare for when it comes.

Kai: Mon? What will we do

Montana: The deal stays, either you give us back the equipment or the hostage or we'll take it by for—

Suddenly Sophie appears from their back . She was tired after using her Eye to avoid running into the other Rogues, as she followed from behind. Dain then exits the vault and tries to calm her down but got pushed as she shouts Montana’s name and stopped to catch a breath as she shouts once more.

Sophie: Montana! Don’t believe him! It’s a tra-

Before she could finish her sentence, the Assassin kicked Sophie tying her down when she lowered her guard. The Assassin closed the vault door before doing so, so that Montana and the others wouldn’t be able to react to Sophies warning. After a while, Sophie who was using her eye once again, she finds a way to escape the ropes and knocked the Assassin while he was locking the vault doors, giving her the opportunity to open the vault. But when the door opened, the Masked Rogue appeared and rushes Sophie, strangling her, raising her whole-body mid-air. When suddenly, he heard a loud person near the lift. Scarlet and her group, who decided not to wait for the lift jumps down shouting at the same time

Scarlet: Hahahahaha~ I’m here~ I’ve arrived to the depths of hell!

After landing safely back down she looks around and raises her spear at the Masked Rogue after seeing him and speaks in an angered way after seeing him strangle Sophie

Scarlet: Why don’t you let her go and fight against someone your own size?

Instead of letting Sophie go, he tightens his grip as Sophie grunts in agony. Scarlet gets even more annoyed and throws her spear upwards in the air. The Masked Rogue throws Sophie in the direction of the spear. But just before it hits her, Scarlet who ran at the same speed, caught it and catches Sophie with her right. She jumps yet again and throws her spear midair towards to the Masked Rogue, but he easily dodges, which made the Spear pierce through the floor. Scarlet then used the momentum of her falling, and she used the spears pole to spin around taking the spear and swinging it towards the Masked Rogue who was caught off-guard, but he unsheathes his sword and manages to block it just before it hits his head. He rushes her knowing the advantage of the sword. But Scarlet who knew this, raised her hand which had one of Dain’s bracelet and created a staff using it to block his attack while she asks Sophie to wake the others up. With Scarlet holding back the Masked Rogue and one of her men holding back the Assassin, Sophie manages to wake Kai up who helps wake the others up after they inhaled a sleeping gas which the Vault contained. Leo who was awakened, ran towards Scarlet after seeing the Guardian heading her way. Scarlet, who was too focused on their battle, didn’t notice the Guardian sneak up behind her. But just before he could hit her, Leo slides to hit front and blocks his attack.

The Guardian: You've gotten stronger

Leo: hah?! Now I’m pissed!

Scarlet: Hahahahaha~ Not bad Leo! Be sure to not hold me back!

Leo: You're mine now!

The Guardian: Fools

On the other side, Montana finally wakes up when Kaiden casted a spell to nullify the effects of the gas. She looks around with dull senses as Dain assists her to get up.
