Chapter 16: [The Fight]**
Shen fought wildly, his energy balls scorching the battlefield.
**Kenya:** "Stop! You'll exhaust yourself!"
**Shen:** "It's fine. Sorry."
**Eliz:** "Where's the Captain? I don't see him."
**Ruke:** "Northwest of Perth."
**Shen:** "Then let's move."
**Ruke:** "Wait! We're just kids!"
**Shen:** "Kids? We took on an army *alone*."
**Kenya:** "Hey! We're a team!"
**Ruke:** "Fine. Let's go."
*Scene shifts*
The Arcane General lounged on a throne, a terrified king groveling before him.
**General:** "Perth's king? I'll claim your city—after killing you."
**King:** "Spare me! I'll help you conquer it!"
**General:** "I trust neither enemies nor traitors."
A laser pierced the king's heart.
**Arcane Knight:** "General! The Arcane Drifters are here!"
**General (smirking):** "Ah. Today's entertainment has arrived."
