As Beat and Kai followed Arthur inside his hideout, they noted the grave look on the man's face.
"Don't worry, we'll get your son back." reassured Kai with a weak smile.
"I appreciate your concern." Arthur sighed.
"I see that we didn't get whoever that girl was." stated Leia. "And I see you brought the two who seemed to know your son's kidnapper."
"Leia, they assisted in trying to capture her. I trust them, just as I trust you." Arthur said with a stern look.
"Alright, let's talk." sighed Beat taking a seat at a table that had numerous books and scrolls scattered across it. "We both know one side of our enemies forces. I know that Skull King, and his Sins are fighting again. The one who took your son was Anise Faslow, Lust."
"She is Skull King's most loyal Sin." added Kai sitting next to Beat. "Her brother is one of our friends, and a member of our group, The Sages' Army."
"Who is this, Skull King?" asked Leia sitting across from Beat at the table.
"And a little more information on his Sins." requested Arthur.
"Well, Skull King is the self-proclaimed king of the undead. He also has the forbidden power of the Antriforce." Beat explained.
"The Antriforce? So it really exists?" gasped Leia.
"Yes, three pieces, and two given incredible power, and one receives a horrible curse." Beat growled.
"I thought whoever received it would be cursed." Leia argued.
"The other Skull King and second in command Jacob Fright both see their piece as a blessing. I, on the other hand, got cursed with the most powerful and uncontrollable piece of the Antriforce." Beat stated calmly placing his left hand on the table revealing his own Antriforce.
"Rage." Leia guessed.
Beat smiled and laughed quietly. "You're pretty well versed in history and legends."
"I read a lot." she replied quickly.
"Now how about informing us about this guy you're after." Kai suggested.
"Drake, he's a wizard. I've known him almost my entire life. He wasn't always this way, but one day he just, snapped, and then he left. I didn't see him until after I had married and had a son. Then Drake showed up and tried to take Finn, my son. He killed my wife Janice, after she got our son to a safe home."
"Lon Lon Ranch?" Beat guessed.
"How did you..?"
"Friend works there, told me Talon had actually adopted his son there." Beat explained.
"Alright, but on to Drake. He plans on doing something to Finn. I know it." Arthur growled.
"How do we know that?" Beat asked staring into Arthur'e eyes. "Is there anything else Drake would be after? Perhaps something related to your past."
Arthur gasped as he realized what Drake was after. "The Void!"
Beat exchanged a confused glance with Kai before asking his question. "Is it possible for you to go?"
"No. The moment I get near that island he's headed for, it'll start. I can't go." Arthur sighed.
"I'll go." Leia volunteered.
"I'll go too." Beat added.
"I can't let you two go. Tristogan is far too dangerous." Arthur growled punching the table.
"Tristogan?" Leia asked slightly confused.
"Oh my goddesses." Beat groaned. "Just the place for a living essence of anger."
"I can go Arthur, you've trained me enough." Leia pleaded.
"I can go, we just need to do everything quickly." Beat nodded. "Kai, you'll lead the Army while I'm away."
"Right." nodded Kai.
"I can't let you go!" Arthur snapped.
"Alright, I'll go on my boat." Beat said with a smile. "Leia you know how to get to Termina?"
"Yeah, by several different means. Why?" Leia replied.
"My boat is in Great Bay. Let's get going." Beat answered getting up.
"Wait!" Arthur demanded. "If I can't stop you, give this to my son when you free him." Arthur sighed handing Beat a bow.
"I'll take care of it." Leia said taking the bow from Beat.
"Alright. Leia show me your fastest way to Termina." Beat requested walking out the door.
"Follow me then!" Leia said fastening the bow across her back as she ran after Beat.
Finn struggled in the ropes he was bound in. He stared with malice at the man standing above him.
"You know, you shouldn't make faces like that. It may stick like that." the man laughed.
"Who are you?" Finn spat,
"A friend of your father. My name is Drake." the man said with mock sincerity.
"My dad never talked about being friends with some scum like you." Finn growled.
"You poor naive fool. You actually believed that farmer was your father? How stupid are you?" Drake laughed cruelly. "Your true father will come to get you, trust me. I won't do anything to you until he shows up to save his precious son."
"Drake, Skull King wants to speak with you." announced the girl that had taken Finn. "Don't keep him waiting."
"Ah, sweet Anise, you know how to get someone moving. I'll be on my way." Drake laughed. He walked towards the girl and turned the Finn. "Oh, and don't bother trying to escape, you'll be guarded carefully."
Finn sneered at his captor and looked away. He had a lot of thinking to do.
As Drake followed Anise into the throne room he noted every person he saw. There was Jacob, Pride, training with Edmund, Envy in the main hall. And sprawled out on a sofa was Clovis, Sloth. Dimitri was most likely in the dining hall, Gluttony, what a disgusting person. He had yet to see Wrath or Greed, but he was sure they were somewhere in this castle. He followed Lust, Anise, up to the throne of Thomas Walker, "The Skull King".
"So, we got the boy. Now start the next phase. Your boat is waiting, along with it's crew, and your group of soldiers." ordered Skull King.
"The only person not ready is the Sin you assigned to help me." Drake stated calmly.
"I'm ready, just give me the word." snapped Clovis sparks shooting off from around him. "I'll do what I can to aide my king."
"Fine. Come along Clovis, I'll let you fetch the boy." yawned Drake, turning to walk away.
"And Drake, do keep in mind that if you attempt to betray me, you'll have plenty of choices of death to choose from." laughed Skull King cruelly.
"Lovely." Drake said feigning happiness.
