ELISHA : What can I do??...Eliza is gone and now the heavy responsibility of taking care of this team and leading us is now solely on me ( He laments with in a solemn tone )
JAY : You know complaining so much doesn’t suit you, You should clean yourself up and take the helm of leadership over this team. We need you now more than ever.
ELISHA : You don’t get Jay, I can’t lead you guys. I was never a good fit as vice captain neither will I be able to do a better job now that Eliza is not with us.
JAY : To be honest I really don’t get why you don’t want to acknowledge your abilities as a leader and just accept that you were the right man for the job.
ELISHA : The reason is simple Jay, I can’t lead this team. I’m better off as a wing man ( He explains as he takes another shot from his bottle)

( She asks with a smile)… You think way too much for an academic of your level, you should rather enjoy yourself and have fun, don’t you agreeKHALID : I apologize for overly thinking about this my lady but still my curiosity precedes me. Humans are a fleeting race who know nothing but destruction, they are not meant to mean anything to us but yet you seem to have taken a special liking to that Klaus.BABY : I understand why you would ask such questions Khalid. Humanity is surely nothing but a destructive race but it has been proven time and time again that there are those amongst them that stand out of the crowd, don’t you agreeKHALID : So are you saying that Klaus is one of those people??BABY : Of course not, he is just has bad as his fellow insects ( She rep

Do you know why you are here??KLAUS : I honestly do not know anything, all I know is that I was praying one moment and the next I’m kneeling before the most beautiful and intimidating woman that I have ever met ( He doesn’t realize his words until Baby let’s out a chuckle)BABY : You my friend, have a way with words and I have to applaud you for that. Most men would be scared out of their minds while kneeling before me but you, you are quite strange.KLAUS : But then is it not strange that I should be scared in the presence of one whom I w

I was just thinking about the Damnation ritual coming up ( He lies with a straight face)JUDAS : Oh… .are there any problems with preparation?? ( He asks indulging the young man)KLAUS : Well, yes and no.

She must be really scarredALEXANDER : I’m sorry for your loss, General. I know it must be rough having to deal with the fact that your own daughter secretly resents you and the fact that you support the church even after everything that has happened.

GENERAL MULLIGAN : Ahem. As I was saying. I can understand just how fatigued you might feel. With the amount of responsibility on your shoulders, it’s a wonder you haven’t broken down. For so long this war as been going on. So many have fallen trying to protect what remains of humanity. That responsibility alone is enough to break a man. So I say thank you for all you have sacrificed to protect humanity. Because of men like you, humanity can rest easy hoping that one day we will be free.ALEXANDER : That us a dream I would like to see fulfilled as well and I know that with the blessings of the Father, that dream will soon become a reality.ELENA : Oh please.

ALEXANDER : A human drawing powers from hell who calls himself the Shadow KingALL OF HAVEN’S REPRESENTATIVES : The shadow king?? ( Speaking out in unison )ALEXANDER : Yes. We came to this realization after we had defeated the undead army. We were triumphant in the first battle but then he introduced himself via a cluster of dark clouds which helped to show that he has mastered the dark powers quite well. After an exchange of words, he summoned an army of shadows to test our mettle in battle. It took me a while to realize it but our opponent is quite the strategic kind. No matter whom the opponent is, he would rather try to gauge his opponent first before he does anything else. A tactic which he has already employed twice.COMMANDER KELLER : This might prove to be quite troublesome if you are right and we truly are up against a strategic mind.

Alexander and the thirteen warriors stood at the gates with several prying eyes setting sights on them as murmurs flew round, some where in awe of the presence of the knights, while others questioned the reason the knights had gathered in the capital on such short notice fearing for the worse as they spoke. Sounds of vehicles are heard coming from a distance after which a number of vehicles come to a halt close to where Alexander and his men were waiting. A couple of military men come out of the vehicles after which General Mulligan and a suited woman come out from the same vehicle. Alexander sets his eyes on the lady with Mulligan and is taken aback by her beauty; She wore a black suit jacket on top of a purple blouse with a black corporate skirt and black heels to match, her hair shone a dark brown color and was tired in a horse tail style. Her eyes were covered as she wore shades and a beautiful emerald necklace hung around her neck.Alex has his eyes on the lady for

Alex stares intently at the battle before him as he rummages through his thoughts, he doesn’t draw his sword neither does he make a move as he shifted his gaze towards the dark horizon. He tightens his grip on his straddle before finally setting himself at easeALEXANDER : Enough!!!!

Arthur runs through a cluster of shadows, wielding Excalibur in hand as it glowed with a golden hue. The creatures were repelled by the light and could not take a hold of his as any attempt ended with a shaped creature burned to a crisp. Arthur does not care for the small fries as he runs towards something much bigger; a shadow monster the size of a sky scraper was moving onto short and he knew that it would pose a serious threat to the knights if it got into the battlefield. The monster notices Arthur’s dash and sends more shadows his way but Arthur slices through it with one strike of his blade as he leaps into the air and sends an arc of energy straight at the creature, his attack does so much as to cause the creature pain as it screeched in a loud voice upon impact but it didn’t slow it’s movement as it soon recovered from the blow and reached out for Arthur who was still in mid airARTHUR : Shit!! ( Arthur exclaims as he attempts to
