"I'm going where?"

"To Hell it looks like."

"Wrong kingdom."

The Firenax Elites, consisting of Sapphire, Black, Green, Gold, and Pearl, were looking over a map after a Dark Society attack. Green was getting sent to Aquino with a package to see if they still had a confirmed alliance while Gold was going up to Velasquez.

"Isn't Velasquez really mean right now?"

"Dependable. I met their technologist and he was fairly nice. But their Ruler has anger problems. So be careful."

~~~

He gulped as he arrived at Velasquez. He nearly got lost before someone ran over.

"Hey!" He paused as a brown haired girl ran over. "Are you looking for someone?" He paused.

"Yeah... I'm from Firenax. I came to speak to the ruler..." She scanned him before sighing.

"And I thought I heard it all. Come on."

~~~

He now understood what she meant.

Other than almost getting kicked in the face, she was so busy screaming that she didn't hear a thing he said. He kept a grip over his ears while she kept going.

"EMERALD! I WANT THAT UPDATE NOW!" White, who was the lovely female to bring him there, gulped.

"Your highness-"

"X! I WANT THOSE WEAPONS TESTED ASAP!"

"Madam Crystal-"

"DIAMOND! GET THOSE SUPPLIES OUT NOW!"

"LADY CRYSTAL!" The ruler sent a brief glance at them as a small boy slipped in, saving their ears.

"Updates here!"

"Finally. Thank you. Tell X and Diamond-"

"Already done. Red's checking some of the outer areas and Moon's in Med Bay now. I have messages to send out." He excused himself before she hummed. Then she turned to the duo, in which White kept her head down and Gold was still holding his ears.

"Yes?" White smiled as she picked her head up.

"Lady Crystal, this is Gold from Firenax. He came to speak to you." She scanned the Firenax Elite as he lowered his hands from his ears.

"Thank you... could you go check the citizens?"

"Yes, Lady Crystal." She went out as the ruler placed the file down before she sighed.

"What?" He gulped.

"I'm here to see about an alliance with Firenax." She looked him up and down.

"Alliance... With Sapphire? Hm..." She then purred. "I would if she'd accept the fact that it was her side that started the tension. And since I know her answer to that, it's a no. Begone." She then snagged the file up and left, going elsewhere.

~~~

"That little-"

"Sapphire-"

Gold gulped. Green was successful while he wasn't. Typical. Sapphire finally sat down with a sigh.

"I know what she's saying... But in all technicality, it was them. It's by dragon code! They just don't get it." Pearl gulped.

"I hate to be the one to ask, but what happened?" Sapphire huffed.

"Velanax. Firenax and Velasquez's original nation. Legend has it that the Dragon's caused its fall and why Velanax was split up. But it's not. No dragon would attack their home without cause. But since then, the tension has been heated and now every generation has a problem with each other." She then sighed as she looked at the ground. Black gulped.

"Without that alliance, we'll have nothing. Aquino is more of an intellectual standing." Gold hummed at that.

"You know what? I was tasked with it, I'm not taking no for an answer."
