" What he said " Larry inquired
" He is ready to trade James with himself, he gave one number to contact his subordinate" She forward a piece of paper to present Edward" We have to accept whatever he desires"
Disgusting expression placed on her face, as she forwards to president
" Give me a minute " President dialed the number on the paper

searching with his eyes, he found Don lying beside him motionless staring at the ceiling of the dungeon
" Don ...Are you ok ?" He cried ...
" stop shouting...I am still alive but I don't feel like it " Calmly Don answered, On his face bored look communicating than his words
" Thank god I thought...they" He turns back at the metal bars thinking about how to break it, He cast his fire to melt it but no use his fore absorbed by the bars " Fuck ...what the heck is this "
" Who cares "
James tried to bend the bars with his raw strength but again failure attracted him like always. But that guy refused to give up as he keeps trying and trying until he got exhausted
Don was observing him without any interruptions, but his expression was nonchalant, nor irritated nor pleased. James leans on metal bars after trying half of an hour
" Fuck this shit ..." He exhales loudly turning back at Don
They both exchange gazes but Don averted hastily making James suspicious " as you can see I can't do it but ..."
Don turn his at him showing he has no interest in escaping from the dungeon, James was happy and sad at the same time because he could see that Don have a way to escape but the worst thing is he won't do it
James crawled to Don like a baby, " Hey buddy what's wrong you can tell me anything but I beg you ....please help me to escape from this hell "
Don looks at his Puppy eyes as if like he is about to cry, of course only in a funny way
"I don't want to," said Don nonchalantly
James was dumbfounded, He wasn't sure why Don doesn't want to escape from this cell but He has to do something before those red robes decide to do something
" But...but Why ?"
"..."
Dons silence cause more uncertainty in James' heart, he leans on the sidewall without saying anything but on the inside, he trying to make pictures clear
Don is Necromancer and everyone hates him for that still, he fought with us side by side like Carlos in the previous days. he aware of the history so he won't want to repeat it again and besides that, he accepted Don as his brother that means no matter which side Don would fight he has to protect him.
But if that's the case then why Don even fought with them at the beginning if he hated others that would be a great chance for him to walk away or teleported away from the battle.
One thing is sure that he is upset by something but what? this thought floating all over his mind until he recalled the last battle with necromancers, His skeletons were useless or brainless and that might be the reason for him to feel unworthy.
James was not sure that his assumption was 100 percent right but he knew there no time for him to think about it he has to do something right now.
" Are you upset?" He asked
" ..."
" Huh ... I take it yes then" James added with a thought-full look on his face
" I don't know what I am feeling right now " Don didn't bother to look away from the ceiling of the dungeon as he lay flat on the ground
" But I have a clue, " He said pausing for a moment" you are upset because of your performance at the last fight, Am I right ?"
Don serious gaze at James made his assumption right and without further delay, James began speaking
" You know before meeting you I also felt like I am useless and I can't do anything in my life, But you opened my eyes You showed me only possessing power is not enough in this world you must have will, Courage and intelligence to survive and this aspects more than plenty to survive here"
He continued " There is no reason to felt heartbroken seeing your skeletons are weak cause it doesn't matter when their master is powerful than any other necromancers, I know you will find a way to overcome anything, and trust me you will "
Don was looking at him without blinking, and when James felt his gaze he restricted his words
" I am sorry, I don't know what I am talking about maybe I am going crazy over here " He chucked himself but he felt satisfied when he saw Dons moments
Don sat up from the ground, gazing at the darkness with thinking some in his mind
Don was surprised by James words after he saw his army of the darkness got humiliated he thought there is no point in fighting every time he managed to destroy one wall in front of him another would emerge so he made up his mind that this is the right time to gave up and return to the underworld
He wasn't sure about everything James was thinking about him is true or not but one thing he said similar to his master Thanatos before he arrived on the earth
' you would feel helpless, you would be humiliated by mortals but one thing you have to remember that everything is happening because you wanted to live on earth without any powers, this is your choice and you must have to own up to it, And don't forget to make me proud in you last battle'
Don was negligent himself until now he was finding an excuse to hide behind it, But James who is mortal was showing courage to accept his weakness and tying his best to get stronger then why me The god falling behind him
Don smirked looking at Metal bars and vanished into thin air leaving James behind alone in the ceiling.
" What the fuck ...Damn you, Don"

" So what... let them take that guy who cares about him any way we just have to get back James " Rosey said frustratedly
" Yeah she is right " Shane supported her instantly, he already hated Don and this is the best chance to show it
" Don't be ridiculous, He was fighting with us against his kind, what else do you want as proof " Jordan slammed his fist on the table in anger
" First time your words making sense to me Jordan " Kenny smiled bitterly and earned a glare from him
" Yeah I am with them " Larry added, But after seeing Rousey's mad look he averts his gaze away
Clan leaders were arguing about Falcos demand, He agreed to exchange Carlos with James but refused to give Don. This thing making skepticism in the heart of Edward and firefox
They thought that Falcon already knew Don was the one who destroyed the dungeon and if this is true then this is going to be difficult for them to bargain.
" So what do we do President?" Tony asked glancing at the clan leaders
" We can't lose potential ally " President Edward responded looking at firefox for his support, and as he expected his friend is always got his back
" so we are going to rescue them " Tony rubbed his both hands together briskly
" Of course not" President Edward smiled dumbfounding Tony but Firefox can tell after seeing a calm expression on his face that he is quite sure what he is doing
" What that means "
" son, I am sure that Don was hiding his powers that guy is unpredictable he would escape from their place without our help we just have to drag this bargain long enough" President added with an eager smile
" But" tony looks at firefox in uncertainty
" Welcome to our world tony " Firefox showed a bored expression on his face before turning to leave

" You are back " James cried with happiness looking at Don outside of the metal bars...
