Dagger immediately got to work once he was near the building the mages resided in. He broke in through a window and wandered around until he bumped into Skepticism.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Dr. Dagger F. Wondertainment. Here for the people you have locked up, Please don't resist."

"Uh...How do you know about them?"

"I'm Dr. Dagger freaking Wondertainment! I see everything."

"Please shut up."

"Just let me do what I need to do then."

"All right, fine! Just get out of my face!"

"Do you know where they're being held?"

"Down the hall, sixth door on the right."

"Awesome, thank you." He went off in that direction and opened the door.

Soshi had recovered somewhat and was sitting in the corner. The others were still arguing. But when they noticed Dagger, Soshi sprang up and tried to tackle him. Dagger just dodged to the side and laughed.

"A thank you would have sufficed. I'm breaking you all out. Agate sent me to help."

"Agate? Where is he?!" CC asked.

"He's in Exisilium with the German and CD Case."

"Bring us there!"

"That's the plan."

He pulled out a walkie talkie and pressed a button. "I have them out, Picky, do your thing."

Before they could respond, Pickelhaube appeared and began getting them all out of there until everyone was in the city in Exisilium.

Soshi looked around. He saw sand streaming from a huge pile of sand and towards a huge hole in the road. The others followed him.

He walked over in that direction and stopped when he saw Regnon, Agate and CD Case working together to fill the sinkhole with sand. Crowny shifted it in, Agate melted it with blue fire, and CD Case dumped charcoal into the pit.

"How long will take to fill this sinkhole at the pace you three are going?" Soshi asked.

Agate looked at him and smiled with excitement.

"About an hour."

"I'll take it from here, then. You and CD Case go direct the others. Crowny, you keep up what you're doing."

Agate and CD Case nodded, and ran over to the rest of the heroes. Soshi walked up next to the sinkhole and began melting the sand at insane rates and in fifteen minutes would entirely finish filling the sink hole with molten sand.

Agate ran over to CC and they embraced. Kama looked around. "Outside of the sinkhole and the castle being turned into a pile of sand, the city looks way better than when I was last here."

Regnon nodded. "I had to crush the old government and recruit many mages to help with rebuilding and so far we have done swimmingly."

"You put them in high ranking positions?"

"Yes, they were literate and skilled. They've been doing great work running things in government and actually got things working again. The economy is growing extremely fast and crime is on the decline."

"But, no royalty have ever done that and survived."

"I have already fought a civil war against those who would attempt to stop me."

"Then Pelagus will surely attempt to retake this land."

"In two years, it should have happened already. It hasn't, it won't."

"Fair, but you should be careful."

"I do my best."

"Right."

Agate turned towards them. "Glad to see you two aren't at each other's throats, but I need you guys helping."

Espresso sighed. "What do we need to do?"

"Help the authorities. I want you and Levi on it."

They nodded and went off. Agate turned to Obliv and Orb.

"And us?" Obliv asked.

"I'm not sure."

Orb looked at Regnon. "Who is the crown? His aura is light yellow and strong."

"It's Crowny." Obliv replied.

"We need to talk privately with him." Orb said insistently.

"All right." Obliv said. They walked over to him. He noticed Obliv and smiled.

"Obliv! Long time, no see!"

"We need to talk, Crowny."

"How come?"

"We'll tell you in a minute, let's just get somewhere private."

"If you both insist." They went around the corner of a building to be out of sight. CD Case curiously followed them without them noticing.
