"You guys should head back to the capital. Check and see if the others have finished their own objectives." Said Earthbound dragon.

"Yeah. The others might have already finished." Said Nightblade.

-later-

"Hey, where's Raven and Yuuki?" Asked Yukari.

"They haven't arrived for awhile." Said Kairi.

"I just hope they didn't do anything dumb." Said Nightblade.

Long story short: they did. Yuuki accidentally froze Raven, herself, and a tigerwolf.

"Darn." Said Yukari.

Later back at the capital...

"I think I'll take a walk." Said Nightblade.

"Ah okay. I'll keep you informed when you get back." Said Eve.

-two hours later at night..-

KABOOM!

"What was that?!?" Said Eve.

"Dark Empire army!" Said Raven.

"And then there were none." Said Seiker.

"Ah, well. Nightblade never ceases to amaze all of us." Said Eve.

"Hey, what's with all the explosions? It's only 3:00 Am!" Said Nightblade.

"If you're here, who's out there?" Asked Eve.

"Hm? Yukari, I think? She was working on explosion arrows." Said Nightblade.

"It's about that time when you start teaching an apprentice huh?" Said Eve.

"I'm not that old yet." Said Nightblade, casting chain fire and chain ice spells at the mountain before going back to sleep.

-next day...-
