“We somehow fended off their vanguard, we kidnapped on of their soldiers here, however he won't talk.” Lorenza explained as Lizzie smirked.

“I got this.” Lizzie said as she walked up the soldier.

“Zara can I see you whip?” Lizzie asked as Zara passed her the whip and Lizzie wrapped it around the soldier's arm.

“I remember Zara telling me that every whip has truth serum in it. So now this soldier can't lie.” Lizzie explained as the soldier’s eyes turned blue.

“We can ask anything and he’ll tell us the truth?” Cleo asked.

“Basically yes.” Lizzie answered as Lorenza stood in front of the soldier.

“Okay let's start with something simple. How many soldiers are in Rose's army minus the vanguard?” Lorenza asked

“Minus the vanguard, there are 10,189,490 soldiers.” he answered. “Damn that's a lot!” Valerie exclaimed.

“Okay next question: Who is Melanie?” Luke asked.

“Melanie is the leader of the Havana group. She's one of the one of the 7 most feared people in the elemental world.” the soldier answered as a very injured Frankie and Sasha entered the room.

“Melanie. She attack our village a couple of months before Lorenza did. I'll tell you this Melanie has more power than Irene and Rose put together. But I have no idea what Havana is.” Frankie explained as they both sat down.

“What's Havana?” Zara asked the soldier.

“Not what Havana. Who's Havana. Their 6 of the strongest soldiers she got. 3 are from Irene’s side of the army and the other 3 are Rose's side. Alone the have enough magic to flatten an entire continent. As Melanie for the leader they are unstoppable.” The soldier explained, everyone was shocked.

“What are their names?” Vanessa asked.

“Nobody knows their names, but they go by code names. And no ones knows those either.” the soldier answered as Lorenza gave him a glare.

“Fine. What's Rose’s next force of action?” Rebecca asked.

“Rose will send out her next fleet of soldiers in 3 days to the south and the north. While the Havana group come for the vessels cause Rose wants the vessels away from the main battle.” the soldier explained as outside the window and sighed.

“Okay, everyone get some rest for now. We'll need it. Ruby see if you can get magic sensor system to detect Rose’s coordinates.” Lorenza ordered as everyone went off to rest or get healed.

I was walking around the palace because I was bored, I then saw Mira sitting on the balcony by herself. “Hey Mira, you okay?” I asked as I sat beside her.

“Yeah.” Mira answered as she flashed me a smile that was obviously fake. “Stop lying, I know you're hurting inside. I heard about Ari. I'm so sorry Mira, but believe me we'll avenge her death.” I promise as she hugged me.

“I'm sorry that I tried to take Daniel away from you the first time we met. Believe me I don't like him.” Mira apologized as I hugged her back. “That's in the past now. We're friends now.” I said as I handed her a napkin to wipe her tears away. “It's just, that women killed two of the people who are most important to me. And I couldn't do a thing! I'm useless aren't I?” Mira asked sadly. “Mira of course not! Your a strong independent woman. What you aren't is useless.” I reassured her as she laid her head on my shoulder.

“Night Mira.” I whispered as she fell asleep.

“HYA!” Rebecca yelled as she kicked the side of the tree. “Keep it up Rebecca!” Regan cheered as she tried to land a punch on her but she dodged it. “ICE BOMB!” Rebecca yelled as a massive amount of snow filled the place. While Regan was distracted Rebecca used this opportunity to attack her from the back. Rebecca kicked her in the back causing Regan to fall down. “Good strategy using the snow to hide yourself, giving you enough time to get behind me.” Regan complimented as Rebecca breathed heavily.

“Thanks.” Rebecca said breathlessly. What Rebecca didn't know was that Grayson was looking at her from the balcony of the training room. “She's becoming a lot stronger ya know.” Frankie informed Grayson as she walked closer to him on crutches. “Shouldn't you be resting?” Grayson asked. “Shouldn't you be doing the same?” Frankie shot back. “Fair point.” Grayson answered as he sighed. “Hey what's wrong? You seem worried” Frankie asked. “I'm just worried for Rebecca.” Grayson answered.

“Don't be, I've seen Rebecca fight she's a tough cookie.” Frankie reassured him as he chuckled.

“You're right, I mean you probably don't have a worried bone in your body.” Grayson said as Frankie sighed. “Not even 24 hours ago my little sister entered a war. Then a soldier threatened to slit her throat. So yeah of course I'm worried.” Frankie explained. “Do you have any idea how it feels when you see your 9 year old sister have a spear to her throat? No you don't. It's terrifying.” Frankie said answering her own question. “Frankie… I had no idea.” Grayson said as Frankie sighed.

“No it's okay, ever since my mom left us I've been taking care of Sasha.” Frankie explained as they watched Rebecca train.

I was currently outside sitting in the garden on one of the benches. “Hey Gumi… it's Zara, she heard the news about your death. At least Gumi finally told Yuri that Gumi like him. Zara is guessing you're up there in heaven right now with him as we speak. Zara really does wish she had more time to build a friendship with you… Zara guesses this is goodbye for real this time…” I said sadly as I felt the wind blow making the petals flow around. “Okay okay, Zara gets it Gumi.” I laughed. “Zara!” I heard Luke-sama yelled as he waved. I then heard a faint sound that kinda sounded like Gumi. “I love you too Zara.” The voice said as I smiled and walked away with Luke-sama.

“I thought I'd find you here.” Ryan said as he entered the library. I waved still looking at my book. “What are you doing?” Ryan asked as I got up and went to one of the book shelves. “If you must know, I'm researching the Havana group. So far all I found was stuff about Melanie but nothing about the six members of Havana.” I explained as I grabbed a red book and speed read it. “Ugh nothing!” I groaned as I opened the next book but nothing. I opened the next book and read it, I then felt Ryan behind me. “Yes Ryan?” I asked as Ryan started kissing my neck. “Ryan this is serious. A lot of people could die if we don't stop these people. Plus we need to find out what magic the Havana group uses just in case we have to fight them. So if you want you can leave.” I said as I closed the book just to opened another one.

“Hand me a book.” Ryan said as I passed him a book. “I thought you hated books?” I asked. “I'll read one if it means I get to stay here with you.” Ryan answered as I blushed. “Fine. Just no funny business like last time.” I said as Ryan smirked. “Shut up.”

|later that night: James POV|

I was in Valerie’s room laying on her bed we were gonna watch TV but she fell asleep. I was about to fall asleep to but I saw the chain tattoo on my arm glowing. “Ugh… she times this doesn't she?” I groaned as I walked outside to the balcony as a hologram of the person I hate to most popped up.

“What the heck do you want?” I asked. “You don't need to be rude ya know!” she scolded. “Just tell me what you want!” I asked as she rolled her eyes. “Look I'm just here to help. The Havana group has amazing power in them. To be short there is no way you can beat them.” She explained as I rolled my eyes. “If that's all you wanted to say can I got to be lady?” I asked as the hologram went away. “I'll take that as I a yes.” I said as I climbed back into bed. I saw Valerie sleeping with a smile on her face, at least someone happy. “I love you Valerie, don't forget that.” I said as I kissed her forehead.
