They walk into a dark corridor. The walls are black with purple highlights. The hallway is softly illuminated by the purple flames of lanterns hanging from the ceiling. The floors are covered with purple carpets. They continue to walk down the corridor until they reach two large doors. Yurai pushes them open, and they walk into a large room. The room his giant pillars on each side and is brightly illuminated. In the back, A man wearing all black is sitting on a throne. His eyes have bags under them. His eyes are black and stare back at them, completely soulless. On his head is a black and purple crown. In front of him is a tall, muscular man. He wears a gold crown. He has long, dirty blonde hair. His clothes are all lined with gold. He turns around and looks at Dai'chi and Yurai as they both kneel. His face looks like an absolute giga Chad with a perfect jawline.
"Hello, son," the large man says. Each word loudly rings throughout the entire room as he speaks. His immense presence was felt by everyone. "I have a very important mission for you, as your brother probably told you," he says. Yurai looks to the side and clicks his tongue. Dai'chi's father turns towards Yurai. Yurai quickly lowers his head again. Trembling under his stature.
"Hello Father. What's this mission about?" Dai'chi says in a calm, slow voice. He raises his head and looks at his father. His eyes are calm yet serious, no fear at all in his eyes. King Phrygd, his father, looks right back at him with intensity.
"I need you to infiltrate Dimonda and steal their crystal." King Phrygd says, each word continuing with the same intensity. Dai'chi tilts his head to the side, confused about why he was asked to do this mission. Phrygd sighs, "I need it to forge an important weapon to protect the Phrygian Kingdom. As you know, their security is quite dense, so that's why I asked you to do this."
Dai'chi stands up. "Alright, I won't let you down," Dai'chi says. Yurai clicks his tongue and looks up.
"Should I go with him? You never know what mistakes he might make," Yurai says. King Phrygd looks at him, not needing to say anything to get his point across. Yurai is left completely speechless. Dai'chi turns around and exits the castle. He teleports away.
Dai'chi teleports outside of the borders of Dimonda to prepare to infiltrate it. He walks into town and buys a bag and clothes. He changes into the clothes and walks around town. He looks around for a castle until he spots it.
"It's most likely in there," Dai'chi quietly says to himself. He goes around the castle and looks for an area with not many guards. He goes up to the soldiers around the spot.
"Turn around, you aren't allowed to be here," the guard says. Dai'chi quickly rushes up to them and swiftly knocks them out. He jumps up the wall. Dai'chi quickly switches back into his normal clothes. He runs up to the castle and carefully sneaks around the wall to look for a place to enter the castle. After a bit of time, he spots a balcony. He jumps up the wall, using magic as support, and makes it up. He enters the room. In the room, he spots the crystal in a glass room filled with guards. He notices the King sleeping, so Dai'chi puts on his shadow cloak just in case the king wakes up. Dai'chi goes into the room and puts up a noise-cancelling barrier. He takes off his cloak.
"THERE'S AN INTRUDER, GET HIM," a guard yells. They all run at him. He walks past them as he easily takes them all out. He grabs the crystal and hides it under his cloak. Dai'chi sneaks out of the room. He jumps down from the balcony.
The king wakes up and notices that the crystal is missing. "DAMN YOU, KING PHRYGD, I KNEW YOU WERE PLANNING TO TAKE OUR ANCIENT RELIC," The king yells. He calls his guards to block all escape. Dai'chi makes it out of the courtyard before the guards block his escape, and he teleports away.
Dai'chi walks into the throne room of a giant golden castle. The floors have red carpet with intricate golden patterns. He takes the crystal from under his cloak. "Here is the crystal that you wanted," Dai'chi says in a calm voice.
"Thank you, son," says Phrygd while getting up. He grabs the crystal from Dai'chi's hand. Yurai and Dai'chi say bye to each other, and after that Dai'chi teleports back to the Crusaders' base.
"Now is the time to start this crazy idea of mine," Dai'chi says to himself. On a table in his room is a list titled Assassin for Hire.
Satoshi wakes up in the next room over. "I'M STILL TRYING TO SLEEP YOU PIECE OF SHIT," he yells. A loud bang echoes around the entire base.
"I STILL DON'T CARE," Dai'chi yells back. After that, they both start cursing each other out.
Music starts randomly playing in the distance. Dai'chi uses mana sense to see if there is someone else in the base. After checking, he finds out it is only he and Satoshi in the base. They both yell at the same time. "WHO THE FU-*bleep* TURNED THAT ON?!"
They never figured out who did it. The whole time, it was just Jesse playing a prank on them to make them go insane. He has mastered hiding his mana and presence completely now, after getting some more memories back.
