The trio is coming the way to Xan market to see the people there. To go to the black market, they walk into the jungle. As they encounter many monsters there, they must fight them. After a while, Alex feels tired and sits down on the rock.
"You know what? This is the worst finding in my life," Aria is whining while walking, "I don't know how far we will have to move."
"Don't worry, we are almost there." Alex says between breathe, "Sorry if I slow you down,"
"That's ok. No one blames you," Aria sits next to Whitty, "So, what is that market going to be like?"
"Mostly the one who doesn't want to deal with the kingdom," Alex takes out a bottle and drinks some water, "But everyone in there hates the King. Some of them want to take him down but... They don't have courage." Alex sighs.
"Well, that's just those people who can talk but can't do." Whitty creates a water ball, "You sure about this, Aria? There is no turning back If you keep following us."
"I am very sure about this decision, you know that?" Aria puts her hand at her chest, " No way I'm turning back," Whitty and Alex laugh at her.
"Oh right, we should keep going," Alex stands up and leads Whitty and Aria, "This way," Then the trio moves to the market.
After a moment, the trio head to the tunnel that is disguised in the ground. Aria and Whitty feel amazed when the door is disguised so well.
"That is a good basement for a black market," Aria points at the door, "Is that enchanting magic or something?"
"Nah, they have not enchanted any magic." Alex laugh at Aria, "If they are magic, the King has found it before we found it,"
Alex waves his hand, "All right, let's go."
Alex knocks on the door, a man stands behind a door, opens the eye's bar, and sees Alex. He glares at him and askes, "Password?"
Alex stares at the man, "KATM", the man nods and opens the door to them.
"Welcome back, Alex," The ivory - haired man pats at Alex's back, "What are you bringing here? A weird cloak man and a Lady?" He mocks Whitty and Aria, "I hope they can survive in this market."
Aria swings her polearm and it near the man's neck, make the man step back, "I don't know, but I am strong enough to beat you up,"
"Okay okay, I get it," The man pushes out Aria's polearm, "You really good, don't you. Anyway..." The man points at himself, "names Sam, but you can call me Sammy if you like." Sam sits on the bench as a helicopter flies over the area, make Whitty and Aria stand in a defensive stance, "Oh don't worry about this, they fly past through this like every day," Sam opens another door opposite the door that he just opened, "Welcome to Xan market, newbie."
"Thanks, Sammy," Whitty walks to the door with Aria and Alex to see the market.
The market is very huge and crowded. There are many stores there. Each of them sells one thing they like: guns, food, illegal weapons, magic, etc... Whitty and Aria feel amazed at how big this market is and Alex smirks at them, "Amazed?" The duo nods. "Good, follow me to meet others," Alex starts to walk and the duo follows him. After 30 minutes of walking, Alex points at the red house with a blue roof. Aria doesn't know what to say right now.
"This house is edgy, you know? You really don't have some art taste, do you?" Aria points at the door, "even the door is black too, really edgy."
"Sorry, that's why this house is cheap because of the painting... " Alex points at himself and says with a rising tone, "And because I bargain too well,"
"Nah, you can't bargain with mom while you are still in the jungle," Whitty walks to the door as Alex feels his pride shoot down, " Come on, I can wait to see my mom."
"Fine, let me knock on the door," Alex comes close to the door and knocks it.
"Who is there?" A woman behind the door says, "If you come in with trouble, I will shoot you."
"It's me, Alex," Alex keeps knocking on the door, "You can't do that like every day, Eula"
"Sorry, I don't know anyone named Alex," Eula shouts from the door, "Because that guy is just lame who remembers a fictional character." Whitty and Aria giggle while Alex feels like his face is going to explode.
"Godammit Eula, why did you do that every time someone knocks on the door?," Alex slams the door, "Open it or I will kick you out," The door finally opens, "Finally,"
As the door opens, a short yellow-haired woman is standing there. She flicks her head to ask them to come in. The trio comes inside the house. Eula leads them to the living room.
"You three sit here, I will call Jane," Eula goes upstairs to call Jane, "Cause no trouble, especially you, black coat," She points at Whitty and goes upstairs.
"Where did you get her?" Whitty asks as he is making tea, "I don't remember that you got a woman like that?"
"Stuff happens," Alex rubs his forehead, "She and her soldiers make me have a headache though,"
"Since when did you hire guards?" Whitty puts the cups of tea on the table, "I remember that you never want to have a bodyguard."
"Oh, she makes me have to accept her to be my bodyguard," Alex raises his hand to stop Whitty talking, "And I don't want to talk about him."
"I see," Whitty sips his tea, "Wait, since when do I drink tea like this?"
"Since you live with me for three years." Aria smirks and Whitty rolls his eyes, "Maybe you should stop teasing me. I am stronger than before I first met you," Aria pats the dragon's head, making him groan.
"Fine," Whitty pushes Aria's hand away, " Just stop patting me," Alex giggles at that, "That's not funny,"
"Seem you got a best friend, don't you," Alex sips his tea, "I just worry that you will never have a friend. Maybe I wrong about this,"
"No, she is not my friend, she is my anvil," Whitty crosses his claw into an X, "And she is going to pull my leg down until I drown," Whitty received a strong grip from Aria, "Ouch ouch, okay okay you're my friend." Then Aria loosens her grip but keeps her hugging the dragon, making him sigh in relief.
"I like hugging you so much, my scaly friend," Aria rubs his neck, making him roll his eyes, "But anyway, you should take off that cloak because no one sees you." Aria takes off Whitty's cloak. "Now I can see you clearly."
"Fine, you got me." Whitty sips his tea,
"You know, we should wait for others to talk about this." Alex claps his hand, "We will talk about the rebel thing after all the members are here." The duo nods.
After waiting for a moment. Jane and Eula come down to the living room to meet guests. Jane's eyes widen to see Whitty there while Eula points the gun at him. Jane quickly bear hug the dragon with her teary eyes, and Eula puts the gun down.
"Whitty, where have you been? I am missing you much," Jane squeezes her son tighter, "I miss you every day," Then she kisses the dragon. "Aw, my little dragon still cute like before,"
"Mom, don't embarrass me," Whitty rubs his head, then he hugs Jane, " But I miss you too." Whitty tighter his hug.
"Ehem, everyone here." Alex sips the tea and Jane looks back at the door. She finds that Eula, a cyan-haired man, wears a green camouflage cloth and a coral girl wearing the same clothes as the cyan-haired man. "Oh everyone here, I should introduce my son to you." She points at the trio soldier, "From left to right is Eula, Axe, and Morgan," Then she introduces her son, "This is my son, Whitty. Don't worry, he is not a monster."
"Hi there...eh... thanks for protecting my parents," Whitty raises his claw, "NIce to meet you."
"No need to thank me, I want to shake you ... claw right?" Eula confuses, "But your claw is quite sharp so I don't risk myself to do that." Eula rubs her head and sees her teammate shake Whitty's claw like nothing.
"Sorry captain, anyone here knows that you are scared of something sharp." Axe takes Whitty's claw," Hey, can I borrow your claw," Whitty nods as Axe pulls out an orange and cuts the peel with Whitty's claw, "Wow, so sharp. This can be a lethal weapon though. Careful with those, kid."
"eh... yeah I will be careful," Whitty turns his head to Aria, "After cut Aria too much time. I barely can do it." Axe nods and picks a scale of his, "Ouch, hey."
"Sorry, but your scale can grow back right?" Axe waves Whitty's scale as he wants to examine it, "... Hey doctor you have any scale of his?"
"I have a lot of scales because of his scale loss like our hair loss." Alex shakes his head and sigh, "I don't study biology anymore since I gave birth Whitty," Alex take a bag of Whitty's scale from this dimension pocket, "Here, this is his scale,"
Aria takes out small bags of Whitty's scale too, "Hey, don't forget this," Aria throws the bag to Axe. Axe catches it and he takes Alex's bag,
"Thank you," Axe nods, "I appreciate that. I just want to see how hard of his scale,"
"Can you sit there for a while? We have a discussion." Alex throws a stool at Axe, "This is an important one. "
Eula catches the stool and sits down, "Sure, hope that this is a good discussion."
Aria nods, "Okay. So we know the king is causing suffering to the people right?" People in the room nod, "We need to do something with him, like a rebel to dethrone him," Everyone in the room is silent, "So who agrees with this, raise your hand. Who doesn't, just stay there." Everyone raises their hand to agree except Jane, "Oh, why don't you agree with this, Jane?"
"Because this is too dangerous," Jane says in a worried tone, "Plus what will happen when you fail? If we succeed, who will be the leader of the country?" Jane scratches her head furiously, "And we don't know how long we will fight? And how many people will die in this battle?" Jane is going to ask more but Aria raises her hand to stop.
"Look, I have asked those questions to myself for three years," Aria raised her left hand behind her back, "Three years... And all of those years I wonder with Whitty and keep asking those questions." Then Aria put her hands together, "Then I got this decision. You know why?" Jane shakes her head, "Because if we don't do it, who else? I know many revolutions have failed but this time, we must do it. Or else people out there will suffer more than death." Jane stuns at Aria's words.
Jane looks at the floor and stays silent, then she puts her hands on her head, "... Let me think about this for a moment. I will answer tomorrow."
"Take your time, no one forces you." Aria sips her tea as Jane nods, "But first, we should get out of here first." Everyone in the room’s eyes widens.
"What... What are you talking about? This place is safe for the rebels." Eula tries to defend but Aria shakes her head.
Whitty asks, "You know the first person who just talks with?" Alex nods, "I saw that he got the king's medal on his body."
"What? Nonsense, he doesn't have any tattoos there. How can he be a spy?" Alex counters. "He doesn't know about..." Alex says something but takes back and thinks a while. "Hand right?"
"He is wearing his gloves for something. At first, I think it is normal until you shake his hand," Whitty sighs, "The hand is protruding the king's medal through the glove."
"I see..." Alex rubs his chin, "That's why he has some weird action from these days like he is talking to somebody." Aria and Whitty stand up.
"We gotta get out of here, as far as we can." Aria rushes that the door, "I bet that he is contracting with the King right now."
The others nod and rush to their room, "You have a vehicle?"
Eula points at the garage room, "I have a pickup truck in the garage," Eula circles her hand. " 'borrow' from a soldier." Aria and Whitty shake their heads, "I should check the truck to see if that vehicle is still working or not."
"You should," Aria picks Whitty's wing and drags him, "Now help me to take something important." Whitty rolls his eyes and lets Aria drag him.
------ Meanwhile-----
Sam takes his radio and his headphones, then he starts to contact the king's army. After 5 minutes, he finally contacts them.
"This is Argent Sam, I am in the position to attack this market." Sam says to his headphones, "I will leave a mark to see the market."
"Good work, Argent Sam. Now we will recruit the soldiers to your position. See you in about thirty minutes."
"Roger that. Contact me if you are done recruiting."
"All right. Remember Argent Sam, this is an important thing so do not fail."
"I won't. Don't worry." Sam sees someone coming, "I have to go, someone is coming. See you later, Argent Sam out." Then he shut down the radio. Get in the guarding position to pretend that he is doing nothing.
------Back to the Family-----
After 15 minutes of taking something good. The family sets all the things up on the pickup truck. Alex, Jane, Morgan, Whitty, and Aira sit on the tailgates, breathing heavily while Eula and Axe are taking on driving positions.
"Okay, everything ready?" Eula turns her head back to them and sees them nod, "Let's go." She drives the truck to the exit gate of the market.
Eula is driving the truck to get out of the market. When they nearly out, a guard is standing there and raises his hand in order to stop the truck.
"Are you going to leave?" the guard asks and Eula nods, " Then when will you return?"
Eula answers, "Sorry, we have to leave forever," The guard points the gun at Eula, "I hope you don't cause any trouble because... " Eula points at Morgan, who is aiming the gun at the guard.
"Sorry, but I have to make sure that no one leaves without anything." The guard whistles and many gunners are aiming at the truck.
"All right. You want some good information right?" Eula says and the guard nods, "Well... can you call your leader because this one is a sensitive subject." Eula points at the gunners, "Don't worry, we don't go anywhere with those gunners." The guard silents a moment then nods.
"I will call my leader." The guard rushes to his watchtower to call his leader. Eula and others just wait there and play some games.
After a while, a gray-haired man wearing an officer costume is moving to the truck. He is walking to the truck. When he is near the truck, he raises his hand to welcome Eula.
"Sorry for waiting," The man shakes Eula's hand, "I heard that you are going to leave the market, right Lady beauty?" Aria and Alex giggle at that sentence while Eula glares at them.
"Yeah, I am going to leave the market." Eula takes a bottle of beer and drinks them, "Don't worry, we don't say anything about this market."
"How can I trust you?" The man glares at Eula but Eula doesn't flinch a bit, "All right, how about this?" The man turns his head away from Eula, "If you got any valuable information, you can go out."
"Oh don't worry, my information is related to any people's life in this market," Eula warns as the man quickly turns his head back to Eula, "The King is going to attack this place. I don't know when they will attack but soon. You have to be prepare,"
"Nonsense, how did the king know this place?" The man takes out a pistol, "And how can you know?"
"Because one of the guards named Sam is the spy of the king's army," Eula's answer makes the man and his soldiers step back. "But I bet that the king is calling an army to raid this place," Eula looks at the man without turning her head. "So, is that good information, Mr. officer?" The man stands silent for a moment, "Come on ~, you and I don't have any choice, right?"
The man stomps his feet and waves his hand to command the soldier to let them pass. "Let them pass." Then he points at a guard, "You. Announce this information to our leader, right now." The guard hurried to the leader. The man sighs and inhales deeply then breathes out. "Thanks for the information. Now you should get out of here because this place is going to be a battlefield." The man throws a sniper rifle at Eula, "Good luck."
Eula catches the sniper rifle, "Thank you. Try to survive, officer." The car is engaging to leave, "If you are alive, maybe we will meet together." Eula is loading the sniper rifle, "Thanks for this gun."
"That's nothing to your information," The man turns his body away but suddenly stops, "Wait, I forgot to ask something." His head turns to Eula, "What will you do when you all get out of here?"
Eula stays silent a little while, and opens her mouth, "We will dethrone the king, whatever its cost."
"I see," The man turns his head away, "Go to the Spring Jungle and send my message to my family," The man throws a knife and it plugs into the tailgate. "Promise me one thing."
Eula asks, "What is it?"
"My instinct says that the white dragon and the lavender-haired girl will dethrone him. Prove me right." The man takes a cigarette and starts smoking with his fire spell, "That jungle is a good place to start a rebellion, good luck." The man raises his hand and starts walking, while Eula starts driving out the market.
Eula and others are driving out the market with many questions on their head, Aria thinks a little bit. "You think he will survive?"
Whitty shakes his head, "Maybe not because this is a large battle. If he is still alive, we will recruit him to be our rebel," They start driving past the desert to reach the Spring Jungle and start the revolution.
