Failure could well result in them getting locked up but Zelos might take the fall for them if they were to fail.

Warning: Shonen ai, swearing, violence and death?
The long awaited second part of the execution. Now, you get to see what will happen to Commander Brute and Marta. Enjoy!
Chapter 6: Execution II

Marta should have suspected this. The minute Commander Brute was healed they would send him to Meltokio prison for life. That was fine by her because at least her daddy was atoning for his sins and she would be able to see him every now and then after spending time with her friends and cleaning up the mess that her father made.
She denied the idea of her father getting executed. If she even considered it, she would break. She already lost her mother two years ago. Back then she could freely blame the Chosen for those mishaps because there were a lot of people back then who agreed with her. This time however, there was no one to blame. The Church of Martel still had the highest power in the world and it would only be a matter of time before it completely declined.
It wasn't declining fast enough. Marta was going to lose her father if she didn't think of a way to get him out of his prison and away from the Church of Martel officials.
One thing ran through her mind when she told Tenebrae that she was going to save her father. She wouldn't lose her father as well. However, she still got airsick when flying on the Rheaird and lost valuable time having to stop twice. Monsters feared her power though and kept a huge distance from her in fear of being slain despite the fact they had the advantage with her dizziness.
However, when she stopped to rest, she would ask herself how she would rescue her father. Marta realized that she had no plan to deal with The Church of Martel and became more discouraged the closer she got to Meltokio.
Emil probably knows where I'm headed now. Marta thought to herself. She couldn't tell him that her father was going to be executed. The former Vanguard member begged her boyfriend to make sure her father wouldn't die. In her gut, she knew that it was an impossible task. It was selfish of her to pass her burden onto him. In case all hope fails, at least she would be with her father wherever he went after that.
I'm sorry for acting on my own again Emil, but I have to do this. You'll understand, right?

Unfortunately for her, she forgot how rash Emil has recently gotten when she rushed into danger without a plan.
The minute Emil found out that she went to Meltokio he instantly got the group to fly over to the capital of Tethe'alla. Since the original group knew Meltokio from the bottom up, it was easy for them to find her before she did something stupid.
Marta was standing in front of the coliseum. That was where her father would be killed at noon. Instantly she got lectured.
"What were you thinking planning to rush in there by yourself? You'll get yourself killed if you keep being this reckless!"
Emil was truly worried about her. He really has changed. Marta told herself as she avoided eye contact with the green eyed Summon Spirit.
"Ratatosk...why couldn't you keep your mouth shut?" Marta questioned the red eyed Summon Spirit. By getting him into the conversation, it would shift attention to someone else and she could duck the question.
Ratatosk shrugged his shoulders. "It's not my fault you're so obvious."
Marta fumed but she was feeling better with the insult.
"But really Marta, what were you planning to do?" Emil asked again.
"...I didn't think ahead...I was going to when I got here but..."
"It might not be a good idea to hang around out here." Sheena warned. "The guards are becoming more restless by the minute and it won't be long until they start questioning people who they might consider to be in the Vanguard."
"If they find out you're part of the Vanguard, you might end up executed along with anyone who sided with Commander Brute." Raine added.
"Which is why we should go back to the Wilder Mansion and regroup," Regal finished. "The officials won't be checking any of the aristocrat areas for any Vanguard members."
Marta nodded her head slowly. "You're right..."
"Marta," Ratatosk began. "Don't sweat it. We'll get him out of there; Even if we have to go up against the stupid church."
The former Vanguard member couldn't help but smile at Ratatosk. Even after what happened to him, Ratatosk still had much confidence radiating out of him. "Thank you."

The group met up with Lloyd and the others who were all called in from wherever they were in the world. Marta wondered if some of them were doing something important but came to help her out.
They are very considerate. She thought to herself as she couldn't help but laugh at the irony of the situation. "You guys didn't have to stop what you were doing to help me...and my daddy who tried to kill you guys for the cores..."
"Don't worry my darling Marta. The Great Zelos Wilder has all the time in the world to spare."
"That's not a good a thing..." Lloyd muttered to himself.
"We couldn't let you go in alone!" Colette exclaimed. "If one of us goes, we all do because that's what friends are for."
"Yeah, what she said." Genis said.
Emil turned his attention to Raine and Regal. "So what's the plan?"
Raine turned to the green eyed Summon Spirit and frowned. "It won't be an easy task."
The group gathered around the table where Zelos shooed his butler away since he didn't want him involved in this if something were to go terribly wrong. It would be just as bad if anyone in the mansion especially his sister was implicated into the plan.
Zelos had a map of the entire city. The three new additions to the group couldn't help but gawk at how big Meltokio really was.
"We are here." Raine stated as she pointed to the location of the Wilder Mansion. "And this is where Commander Brute is going to be executed. In order to complete this mission and rescue Commander Brute, we must divide into four groups. The first group must reason with the King of Tethe'alla."
"Why is that?" Emil asked.
"If he finds out that we're the ones who broke Commander Brute out of prison, the entire nation will be after us like there was no tomorrow." Sheena explained. "Plus if Zelos is found to be part of this, you can imagine what would happen."
Ratatosk shook his head. "Not at all."
Zelos sighed. "You really don't understand me...do you?"
"Zelos, you're going to be part of this group." Raine said. "The King of Tethe'alla will only reason with you, Regal and Sheena but those two have a more important task at hand."
The ex-Chosen let out another huge sigh. "So I miss out on all the action? Bummer..."
"Wait," Emil started. "If the King finds out that you're trying to help the enemy of the Tetheallans, wouldn't they try to kill you right there?"
There was a long within the group. Zelos chuckled nervously as he was obviously shivering on the inside from the thought of being hung.
"I'll be right there to make sure that won't happen." Lloyd volunteered.
Sheena and Genis gasped.
"Are you sure Lloyd? You aren't exactly the bodyguard type."
Lloyd scowled at his younger companion. "Gee, thanks a lot for your support..."
"Still, I didn't think you would give up time in the main group to protect someone as dumb as him."
"Sheena, that hurts me so much."
Raine continued to go over the plan as Zelos continued to complain. "The second group will work behind the scenes making sure that any backup will not come. This group will also deactivate any traps that the Church of Martel set around the coliseum. Sheena, I leave you and Colette to this job."
Colette smiled brightly. "I'll do my best!"
Sheena was not so sure if the blonde should be put behind the scenes because the chance of her messing up was over fifty percent. Then again, Colette has good luck wherever she goes...
"The third group will be within the audience. If a riot were to happen when we rescue Commander Brute then those within the stands will be able to calm them down. Regal, Genis and I will be the ones to watch."
Ratatosk glanced at the female half elf and asked. "Why would you be in the crowd? Half elves will probably be stoned with the Vanguard."
"As you know Ratatosk," Raine began. "Regal is an important member to Tetheallan society. With his figure there, the crowd should settle down to a certain extent. Genis and I are just there for the ride."
Genis groaned. He wouldn't be able to hit a few soldiers with fireball.
"That leaves the final group to infiltrate the coliseum without getting detected. Emil, you'll lead the group and take Marta, Ratatosk and Presea with you."
Emil nodded his head as he turned to Marta. "Don't worry Marta. We will save your father. I promise you that."
The former Vanguard felt her cheeks light up as a small smile escaped her lips. "Thanks, Emil."
"I'm in this too…"
The two turned to Ratatosk who glared at their show of public affection.
"Sorry Ratatosk, we're counting on you too."
"Hmph."
Emil wondered if Ratatosk was going to be okay. After yesterday's incident, he wondered if he was mentally repaired since he physically looked okay.
"We still have time to prepare," Lloyd began, "But knowing the Church of Martel, they'll probably pull a fast one and start the execution early once the coliseum is full."
"We don't have time to waste if we want this rescue mission to be a success." Regal exclaimed. "Best of luck to all of you."
The group nodded their head in union. They weren't going to let the Church of Martel get there way again.

Emil was surprised by how fast Lloyd and the others could work up a plan and instigate it. Lloyd and Zelos left the Wilder Mansion first. Everyone else slowly followed behind them making sure to not attract the attention of the guards. Zelos waved the knights out of the way as they allowed him and Lloyd to access the Tethe'alla Castle. As the guards turned their back to close the door on them, Emil and the group made haste past them to avoid detection.
Once far away from the guards, the group split up into the three groups. Sheena disappeared to find an easy entrance from the top of the coliseum. Colette spread her angel wings and flew up with her. Sure enough, the Chosen's luck kicked in as no one paid heed to the blonde girl with angel wings. They were all focusing on getting into the coliseum.
Marta thought it was disgusting how the Tetheallans were swarming the entrance like the city was under attack and they needed protection. Still, there were still some members of the Vanguard within that group of people. They would soon be found out though if they were carrying a weapon that would attempt to harm those around them in order to save their former commander.
Regal, Raine and Genis stayed in the crowd of aristocrats while Presea lead Emil, Marta and Ratatosk away from the cluster.
"There are many entrances into the colosseum," Presea exclaimed as she lead them to a back door that was unguarded.
"Are the guards that stupid that they wouldn't block the path where people like can go through?" Ratatosk questioned rather annoyed that there were no guards to take out.
"The guards are too busy dealing with people in the front and inside the coliseum to even consider blocking the obvious routes." Presea justified.
"Where does this lead?" Marta asked.
"Zelos said that this route would lead to a hidden staircase that should take us to one of the stands inside. There we can get a good view on the battlefield and a good shot and preventing the execution from afar."
"Zelos really knows his way around here."
Presea nodded her head as they slowly made their way inside.

Sheena did not understand why they didn't get detected easily. Sheena might have been a spy but it was broad daylight. Anyone could see a ninja from Mizuho jumping into an entrance from above followed by the Chosen of Regeneration.
Colette's luck did kick in after all. Sheena thought to herself.
"Sheena, what was our job again?" the blonde asked.
"We're supposed to be on the lookout for any suspicious activities from afar." Sheena described. "This means deactivating the traps and knocking out any knights that come this way."
"You mean something suspicious like this?"
"Colette! Don't touch that!"
It was too late. She hit a button and a cage almost fell on top of her. By dumb luck, she accidentally fell backwards preventing her capture.
"Sheesh Colette, don't scare me like that."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be but the problem is if this trap will alert the guards. I highly doubt it but…" A giant sweatdrop appeared behind her as she looked at the ceiling. "I could have sworn we were on the top floor…"
Suddenly, Sheena felt the presence of one of the clan members of Mizuho around. She turned to Colette and frowned. "Colette, don't touch anything. I'll be right back."
"But aren't we supposed to be stay here?"
"It will only take a few minutes. I think it's just a knight and if it is, I'll take him out. I'm counting on you Colette." She gave a wink as she rushed down the stairs. Colette, oblivious to what happened went back to exploring the room. God can only hope she doesn't fall into another one of those obvious traps.

Sheena stopped in the corridor of the stadium. This part of the stadium was off limits to all except the guards who were on duty. They could watch the battles from afar without having to worry about stepping in to stop someone from getting killed.
"Alright traitor, come out and show yourself. Or do I have to force you out?"
"There is no need for that Sheena."
Sheena gasped. That voice. It can't be.
A kunai knife emerged from the shadows and almost impaled the assassin. Sheena quickly jumped out of the way to avoid a fatal injury. Out of the darkness appeared a familiar ninja.
"Kuchinawa…"
"It's been a while Sheena."
Sheena glared at the traitorous ninja. Kuchinawa was one of her friends when she was first brought to Mizuho. When she screwed up her pact with Volt, they were no longer friends in his eyes. The traitor ninja was so upset that Sheena killed his parents and later failed to kill the Chosen of Regeneration two years ago that he decided to side with the Pope in getting rid of Sheena and her friends. Sheena and Kuchinawa had one last duel of honor with Corrine's Bell at sake. The Summoner barely won that battle but it was enough for Kuchinawa to retreat and rethink of his betrayal and yet…
"You really haven't learned your lesson have you?" She began in a dangerous tone as she got her weapon prepared. "It wasn't enough to put my friend's in danger of the Pope but now you're working with some scum to experiment with Ratatosk?"
"So he was a Summon Spirit? How amusing."
"What?"
"That Summon Spirit was just as weak as the one that you always had around. He didn't even notice my presence until it was too late. Pathetic."
Sheena gritted her teeth. "I dare you to say that again…"
"Which part? About how this Ratatosk can't live up to his reputation as a Summon Spirit, or the one where he is just as weak as that Summon Spirit that was created? I think we battled over that memento when it died. What was his name again?"
Kuchinawa felt a powerful cyclone surrounding his standing position. He hopped out of the cyclone that was about to throw him into the air.
"You've done it…" Sheena mumbled.
The traitor ninja noticed the look the Summoner gave him. It was that same look when they both dueled for their honor. That look meant there would be no mercy.
"Fujibayashi Sheena, I challenge you to a rematch, and this time, I will be victorious."
"I accept your challenge. I won't forgive you for insulting Corrine!"
The two members of Mizuho were ready to duke it out right there. Little did Sheena know that by engaging in unnecessary combat that she would put the whole mission in jeopardy…

Emil's group was almost at their destination. There were a few guards stationed where their route was but they easily knocked out the soldiers.
"So they put the weak soldiers in the back huh? Talk about pathetic." Ratatosk taunted as the group continued.
"This is…unusual…"
The trio turned to Presea puzzled.
"How so?"
"There shouldn't be any guards here. They're all supposed to be in the front and in the stadium…not in the back."
"Maybe they were thinking that people like us would come in?" Marta asked.
"No. They would have put stronger guards at these posts if that were the case. It's almost like…" She paused before coming up with some conclusion. "We must hurry."
As Presea rushed ahead of them, Emil turned to Marta worried. Was someone expecting them to break in?
Marta followed behind the pink haired girl. Ratatosk gave a confused look to his other self before following behind Marta.
Maybe Presea and I are over thinking this. Emil thought to himself. But…Lloyd and the others have been fighting longer than all three of us combined, so might be used to these types of situations. Still…
"Hurry up Emil! They're leaving us behind."
Ratatosk didn't follow Marta as far as Emil thought he would. He waited for the green eyed Summon Spirit to catch up to him.
"Coming…"

Lloyd rolled his eyes at the situation that Zelos was dragging them in. Wooing the King of Tethe'alla was not going to work like it did two years ago. Back then, Zelos had so much more power because the Church of Martel was still in effect. Now that it was in decline, Zelos' influence over his peers have dropped dramatically compared to Colette who was still known as the Chosen of Regeneration.
"Your Majesty, please re-think this execution. We all know that Commander Brute did some terrible things and almost destroyed Meltokio, but it's still too soon to pass judgment."
Lloyd checked the expression on the king. He seemed firm with his decision to kill the biggest threat of the Royal Family now. Still, something seemed off.
"Now Chosen, I know that one of your friends is directly related to the Vanguard, but this is the will of the people. They don't want Commander Brute to escape from prison and plan his revenge on us."
"But he doesn't anymore. You saw how he was willing to go to prison! He doesn't want to revive the Sylvarant Dynasty anymore!"
Zelos was desperate. Lloyd could do nothing in this situation though. He had no authority to speak to the king. Perhaps if Regal or Sheena were here instead of him, this negotiation would go more smoothly. Maybe they were overconfident with Zelos' ability to persuade the king because it worked each time.
"This may be true, but think of the people. They don't know that he's a changed man that is atoning for his crimes. Only in death will the fighting between the Vanguard and the Church of Martel officially is over. I cannot stand by and continue seeing my people accusing the Sylvaranti as members of the Vanguard. Please understand."
"But there has to be another way around this Your Majesty. If you kill Commander Brute now, that will only fuel that fire between the two races."
"Chosen, my decision is final."
Clenching his fists, the Chosen was forced to admit defeat. Lloyd placed a hand on his boyfriend's shoulder.
"Zelos…"
"Sorry Bud."
The fake smile was plastered on his face again. The eternal swordsmen wielder frowned. They failed to do their part in the mission. They can only hope that Emil could successfully pull Commander Brute out of this mess. Of course, there is no insurance after that.

Emil's group finally reached their destination. They were in a room where you could see the arena clearly. It was closer to the ground floor with the major difference was that no one could watch from their. Presea easily aligned where they would be jumping out to rescue Commander Brute. All they needed was the signal from Colette and Sheena in order to move out.
Marta was nervous. Emil went over to comfort her, saying encouraging words to her. Ratatosk only turned away from the scene annoyed. He had this feeling that this was going to end badly. He turned to Presea. It was hard to read her emotionless countenance but if he was right, she was thinking that this mission would have deadly consequences for them.
"Hey Marta, I got a question." Ratatosk began.
Marta turned to him, tensed. "What is it?"
"After we rescue Commander Brute, what are you going to do?"
The orange haired teen didn't seem to take in the question until Ratatosk ask her a second time. "I…"
"You know the Tetheallans hate your father with a passion. If you save him, where are you going to hide him?"
Emil frowned at him. "Ratatosk…"
"And think, if Zelos can't persuade that stupid king to pardon Commander Brute, then we're all in trouble. Marta, I'm asking you what we should do after all of this?"
Marta was silent. It was obvious that she hadn't thought that far in advance. Her only concern now was saving her father and think of the consequences later. The red eyed summon spirit could only shake his head in annoyance.
"You're hopeless."
"Ratatosk!"
"I was only stating the truth Emil."
"No Emil…he's right. When I heard that daddy was going to be killed, I could only think of saving him from a quick death. If he dies, he can't atone for his sins…but I couldn't even think of a rescue plan. Now that Ratatosk is bringing this up, I realize that I have no idea what to do afterwards."
"Marta…"
"We might as well be rogue criminals for the rest of our lives unless the Chosen does something about it."
"Ratatosk, you know that the Church of Martel is in decline. This might be the last thing they can do before they lose their power completely." Emil explained.
"Not quickly enough…" Marta mumbled.
Presea finally decided to interrupt the trio. "It's starting."
Marta instantly waited near the hole in the colosseum walls. Emil and Ratatosk got a clear view near Presea. They watched as soldier three dragged Commander Brute to the hanging stand in the middle. Marta resisted the urge to jump down and kill the knights.
In the middle of it all, there was a tall man with a take-no-shit look waiting for the Papal Knights to hang the enemy of Tethe'alla. Presea squinted her eyes slightly trying to get a better view of the man. She remembered seeing him around the Church of Martel before but because she was under the influence of an Ex-Sphere, she paid little to no attention to any suspicious faces.
The man began to speak but it was surprisingly hard to hear him over the roar of the audience whether they supported or were against Commander Brute's execution.
"I can't hear him…" Ratatosk stated the obvious.
Emil thought of something else as they put the rope on Commander Brute's neck.
What are Colette and Sheena doing? They should be attacking at this point!
Presea noticed this too. They were in a higher section of the coliseum, so it shouldn't be hard to get a clean shot knowing how accurate Colette was with her rings.
The man looked ready to pull the ropes. At this point, it became apparent that something happened on Colette and Sheena's side of the mission. Emil clenched his fists realizing that if they didn't do something now, Commander Brute was going to die.
"This isn't good…" Presea muttered. "Colette and Sheena had failed their mission."
Ratatosk growled as he got ready to take his sword out. "We can't rely on women to do the job now can we Emil?"
The sexist comment was let off the hook because of what happened next.
"DADDY!"
Ratatosk would have face palmed the minute he saw Marta jump down from that position and throw her spinner at the rope. Cue to cutting the rope, their was a huge commotion and the man ordering his knights to seize the girl.
"Stupid girl…" Ratatosk said simply.
"This isn't good…" Presea repeated. "We have failed our part in the mission…"
The red eyed summon spirit turned to Emil who had a stunned expression on his face.
"You should have seen this coming Emil." He said with a sigh. "Let's just help Marta and settle this mess."
Emil could only let out a huge sigh. "Why does something like this always happen?" He turned to the pink haired girl. "Presea, could you check up on Colette? I'm worried that something happened to her."
"Understood." Presea answered as she ran off in the direction of the stairs.
The green eyed summon spirit pulled out his sword and turned to Ratatosk. "Let's go."
Emil jumped down before Ratatosk who just let out another groan. "I should have stayed at the gate…"

Presea made it to Colette's designated location just in time. As expected, she didn't throw her ring to cut the rope in time was because she was being attacked by a girl that looked to be her age. She had light blue hair and huge blue eyes. The battle seem to be in Colette's favor because the attacker was an archer and archers were not good at close combat unless they carried a crossbow.
However, another figure emerged from the shadows. This figure might have been the traitor ninja that Sheena was talking about but she was certain that ninjas did not use war hammers as their weapons. Colette barely dodged the combined attack from the archer and the black-cloaked figure.
"Colette, I will assist you."
The blonde smiled happily when she saw Presea. "Oh Presea. I'm so glad you're here. These people here started to test my abilities as the Chosen. It's very difficult but I'm getting the hang of it."
The cloak figure growled. "We aren't training you! We're here to assassinate you and your friends!"
The Chosen of Regeneration gasped. "Really? Then, you lied to me?"
The archer frowned. "Haru, I don't think she understands the situation."
"Of course not! All blondes are stupid!"
As the cloaked figure raised her hammer, Presea stood in front of Colette. "If you want to get to her, you're going to have to get through me."
The cloaked figure smirked underneath the hood. "Oh? Interesting, let's see if you can entertain me!"
The double battle started. Presea could only pray that the battle would go well.
"Devastation!"

The plan wasn't going according to plan. Raine figured that whomever messed up was going to have a serious chat with her later. Emil, Marta and Ratatosk's appearance in the ring shocked everyone. It caused an uproar; instantly Regal did his part and tried to calm the innocent people within the stands down.
"It would be best if you all leave now." He warned them. "Things have taken a thing for the worse."
Most people recognized Regal Bryant as the President of the Lezerano Company, so many of those people got up and left. The more rowdy personas would rather stay and watch the battle that was going on now.
Marta was the one that was helping her father up while Emil and Ratatosk fended off against the soldiers.
"Marta, why did you come?" Her father asked her weakly.
The orange haired girl couldn't help but smile at her father's question. "Didn't I tell you before Daddy? We're in this together? If one of us is going to die, then we'll both die…but I'm not ready to die anytime soon, so I won't let you die either. And I'll…go against the Church of Martel if I have to."
"Marta dear…"
As the two Summon Spirits dealt with the soldiers, Emil couldn't help but notice that Ratatosk was acting abnormal in battle. His sword was missing the soldiers more often than not, but because the red-eyed Summon Spirit was powerful, he killed them in one hit. The other noticeable thing was that he wasn't summoning a monster to fight by their side. It might cause the wrong impression to the audience but it would make things go more smoothly.
"Ratatosk, watch your back!" Emil warned when he noticed a soldier trying to get the other from behind.
Ratatosk didn't even need to look behind him. He simply jumped out of the way and stabbed the soldier who was trying to get him from the rear.
"Tch, these humans think a sneak attack will work?"
Emil sighed as he charged in front of Ratatosk. There were seven more soldiers that were coming their way. The green eyed Summon Spirit noticed that they were slightly stronger then the last pair of lowly bunches.
"Quake Assault!"
Ratatosk rolled his eyes when Emil called out his attack again. It took out all the soldiers though, so it would be fine.
Marta was taking too long to get Commander Brute on his feet. The soldiers kept coming and eventually, Regal, Raine and Genis were pushed back because they were considered normal civilians like the rest of the spectators.
Soldiers were approaching Marta and Brute fast. Annoyed, Marta casted Photon on them. It shook them greatly, which let Emil and Ratatosk finish them off.
"Let's get out of here!" Ratatosk declared.
Emil and Marta nodded their head.
As Emil was about to clear a path for them to barge through, he noticed that Ratatosk suddenly froze.
"Ratatosk, is something the matter?"
He shivered slightly as he glanced around the area. "There's something here…"
"?"
Ratatosk couldn't identify the location of the distorted mana in time. Someone in the stands was aiming a deadly weapon at Marta. The person's hands shook as she prepared to fire the weapon.
Rest in peace.
A loud crackling sound was fired at high speed. When Ratatosk figured out where the sound was coming from, it was too late. Everything moved in slow motion and Marta's scream was the only thing that rang in his ears. A body fell to the ground. Sanguine colored liquid was flowing onto the ground.
"DADDY!"
Ratatosk was too stunned to move. Emil however turned toward the stand to see a girl with white hair put into pigtails alone in the stands. She had a huge metal like weapon and was looking at the bottom of the coliseum with an emotionless expression. She turned around to leave through the doors.
"WAIT!" Emil yelled when he realized that she was the one who injured Marta's father.
The girl disappeared in a dark portal that she created herself and disappeared. There were still more soldiers coming their way. Emil turned to Ratatosk who was still shocked to move.
"God…dammit!" Emil cursed as he single handedly charged into the soldiers.
"Daddy! Don't go! Daddy!" Marta cried out as she desperately tried to use her cure spell to heal the wound that was on her father's neck. She saw that there was a shell of some sort stuck into his neck and it punctured a hole into it as a result. "No…you can't…"
"M...Ma…rta…" Commander Brute stuttered weakly as he coughed blood that was getting stuck in his throat.
"Daddy I'm here! Please, just hang on! I'll heal you!"
"Scien…t...is…t…Red…Ro…s..e…Sha…ra…"
"Daddy stop talking!"
"L..ov..e…Mar…ta…s…or..r…y…"
Marta could feel her father turn as cold as ice. Her eyes widened in horror as she was slowly absorbing what were happening.
"NO! DADDY! DON'T DIE! PLEASE!" She focused all of her power to heal the wound on his neck, but the bleeding wouldn't stop. This never happened before! She tried a resurrection on Commander Brute but his fingers refused to twitch. "Please…don't die…DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Ratatosk, finally managing to snap out of his daze, he turned to his attention to Marta. He quickly went over to her and pulled her away from her father. It was bad move as it only resulted in retaliation and screaming.
"NO! LET ME GO RATATOSK! I GOT TO HELP DADDY!"
"Commander Brute is dead Marta!" Ratatosk snapped. "Can't you tell that there's no way to save him?"
"No…that can't be…daddy can't…"
Emil finished killing all the soldiers when he saw Marta fall to her knees bawling.
"DADDY!" She cried as she began to sob uncontrollably.
Ratatosk stepped back away from her having no idea how to comfort her. He turned to Emil hoping to find some relief in him. Emil saw the look of regret in his eyes. Not being able to do anything for the love of his life.
Yet I'm the true failure here. Emil told himself. I couldn't keep Marta's promise...dammit…
Regal, Raine and Genis forced their way into the coliseum. Once they saw the dead body on the ground, they knew their mission was a failure.

Sheena wasn't doing so well in her rematch against the traitor ninja. He had new attacks that she wasn't aware of and she was almost overwhelmed. Almost.
She summoned Undine to heal her as well as do some serious damage to Kuchinawa. However, he still had plenty of fight left in him and as a result, he was able to knock her to the floor. When he was about to deal the finishing blow, he stopped his arm.
"You are too weak." He taunted as he put his kunai away. "And you are supposed to be Mizuho's Successor…"
"Why you…"
"My work here is done. Your friends have failed their mission. I will be making my leave."
"W-Wait!"
Kuchinawa disappeared in a thick of smoke. The Chief of Mizuho ended up staying where she was cursing her weakness.

Unlike with Sheena and Emil's team, Colette and Presea were doing very well against the two assassins. That was because the archer kept apologizing whenever she fired an arrow and want to fight. Eventually it got to the point where Presea decided not to go after her and just focus on the one with the war hammer.
"Resolute Infliction!"
The assassin dodged it but Presea managed to knock the hood off of her. She had raven hair and gray eyes. She looked liked a man but her figure spoke otherwise. The women looked to be twenty-six years old.
"Damn, you're good. I guess I should hurry up and get what we were here for."
The female assassin picked up the speed and sped past Presea aiming toward Colette. The axe user tried her best to get to the Chosen of Regeneration, but the assassin already used a knife that was hidden in her pocket to cut the her cheek. Colette ended up falling backgrounds as a result with minor injuries. The assassin however, held onto the knife tightly and turned to the archer.
"We got her blood. Now we can make the cure."
"Alright! Let's split!"
The two assassins disappeared in a portal of darkness. Presea aimed for the area where the busty assassin disappeared to but they were long gone.
"Colette, are you okay?" Presea asked.
The blonde nodded her head. "Of course. That knife didn't seem sharp after all, so no harm done."
A sigh escaped the older girl's lips. "We should check on the others…but…we failed this mission…"

Me: TBC with 6976 words.
I am SO sorry this took forever! It was done six months ago and I sent it to one of my friend's but because she had a life. I had to give it to my best friend Zelina56 to edit like a month later and then I forgot that it was edited the next week so...blah...
1. What are guns doing in this story? I'll explain that later. These new assassins are different. NO! They are not from the real world like the characters from Requiem (Fire Emblem Radiant Future) are. But that's why Brute died really fast. Pay attention to his last words.
2. I know Kuchinawa changed at the end of the first game, but let's just say since he's working with these new villain assassins, something happened and he's evil again.
Sorry about that. Don't know when the next update will be since I'm working on the Durarara story Magician's Spade. Reviews are appreciated and make me update faster. Ja ne!
