The doors opened as three silhouettes entered the hall that had become the battlefield. It was Alden, who walked in front, Veronika, and Rina.

Alden had been waiting for this moment, a satisfied smirk on his face as each step he took made Edward and Reik more anxious.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The ice beneath his feet crackled as he stopped next to Zayne, holding his hands behind his back with narrowed eyes.

Alden stared at Edward, in absolute silence, then he reached out his hand to Zayne and in a sly voice said, "Would you be so kind as to pass me that stone."

Zayne nodded slightly and did as he said.

"Well, well... Though I didn't plan on being so lucky, you've trapped yourself in a trap you can't get out of." Alden muttered looking at the stone, "You do realize that the information stored in this stone is enough to send you to prison forever, don't you?"
