KuroiNeko89: Nooo! There was a mistake that I forgot to change in the last chapter! (its not a big mistake but it is to me) Ahh! It made the chapter so weird! By the way Roxanne wasn't fully controlled at first but she was after when she turned into a cat demon thingy... now let me die from embarrassment and while I am enjoy! :D

Time skip

Babbo was drinking his er, rum heavily. He was drinking loads of it and had already drank five cups.

"Baha! More rum!" he ordered no one in particular in a drunken voice. He then 'floated' his way to Ginta.

"You drink, too, Ginta! Listening? A true gentleman knows how to gold his liquor… huh? Why are there three of you?" he asked in a drunken voice.

Ginta shuddered and put a rest on his melon bread while he backed away.

"Eiii! Leave me alone!" he said.

The fire burned while everyone who was left in Vestory had overcome their emoness (a.k.a their depression) and were drinking and laughing happily around the fire.

A man then turned to Ginta.

"I haven't seen smiles like this for quite a while. For people like is who were always thinking death was waiting… we've gained the courage to live!" he said.

He then looked at the crops that surrounded him.

"And… look at all these crops! All thanks to Jack-san!" he added.

Jack was slightly embarrassed but got over it and started laughing.

"Wahaha! It's no big deal!" he laughed waving his hand up and down.

Ginta then looked behind and sweat dropped.

"I'd say it's a big deal, Jack. Isn't too big of a deal?" Ginta asked in a worried voice.

Jack sweatdropped.

"Ma-maybe! It kinda surprised me, too!" Jack said looking at his plants with a surprised face. He then clenched his hands determined. "My magic power was raised. Plus I got this earth nature stone from Dorothy nee-san! It seems that I've really improved!" he smiled examining his ärm.

Another man then joined in the conversation.

"And… the one who healed all of us… we all owe Snow-san a lot!" the man said looking at Snow who was drinking some unknown liquid.

She then finished drinking the cup and sighed dozily. She then dramatically held the cup forward making a huge smiling face.

"Bring my more juice!" she ordered.

She was obviously was in 'Babbo mode' well let's call it she was in 'Babbo-ilzation mode'.

Edward was then shocked and then yelled.

"Who gave her alcohol!" he yelled angrily.

No one seemed to hear and Nanashi was with girls who were also drunk and they were dancing? Yeah... let's just call it dancing and laughing.

The man then continued his speech.

"…and there's the three of you who went in and defeated the chess! Now the people they killed can rest in peace!" the man continued.

Dorothy was eating an apple and wasn;t really listening to the conversation while Ginta had a smile on his face and was really tuned in to the conversation. A man then spoke up.

"Especially Ginta-san! You gave us all courage!" he said with a smile.

Another man joined in.

"To think a child would be able to fight the chess!" the man said impressed.

Another man held out a fist and bared his teeth.

"Us adults can't let you put us to shame anymore! We'll rebuild Vestory. We'll show all of you what we can do!" he said.

Meanwhile at the chess headquarters….

"So Peta you're going to do the announcement?" Phantom asked while he was in his chair throne thingy.

Peta gave an evil grinned as he turned to Phantom.

"Yes Phantom I am. I'm going to make it nice and clear." Peta said.

Phantom sighed as he got off his chair throne thingy.

"There's no point of that. Most of the strong people of the Cross Guard died in the last war. All that's left are weaklings, women and children that are weaker than a mere pawn. But I am looking forward to fighting Ginta." A smile formed on Phantoms mouth.

There was then a knock. Phantom looked over.

"Come in." he said not really caring as he sat back on his chair.

The door creaked open as it revealed a smiling pink haired girl.

"You called Phantom sama?" the girl asked in a questioning tone.

Phantom looked at the girl confused and then remembered something.

"Oh yes… Roxanne was it? You're going to be in the test that the participants of the war game." Phantom said casually.

Roxanne made a surprised expression as she pointed at herself.

"M-M-Me? But why me? Can't you choose someone stronger like a knight or some other bishop?" Roxanne asked in a whiny voice.

Phantom sighed.

"You ask too much little girl. We already have a knight ready, Chimera. And we decided to choose a bishop at random so picked out names from a hat. And your name was picked up! Lucky you!" Phantom said smiling.

Roxanne made a scowling face for a slight second and sweat dropped and smiled.

"So… for this test. What do I do exactly? Doesn't involve killing does it?" she asked nervously while she tried to keep the smile on her face.

Phantom raised an eyebrow and looked surprised.

"Well of course! That's the whole point. You see the contestants choose a magic stone and they get wrapped into another dimension depending on the stone! Most of the stones wrap you to a mere single pawn. But there are two different ones. One is a stone that wraps you to Chimera and that stone is labeled instant failure. But the stone that wraps to your side is labeled 50/50 so they have a chance of beating you! Oh and you have four stones that wrap to you while the others have one! But of course you have to kill the people that get wrapped to you or else they'll kill you! If you don't kill them we'll kill your all your friends in the chess! We'll also make Alviss' tattoo spread faster!" Phantom said with a wicket smile.

Roxanne frowned.

"Don't bring my friends or Alviss into this! You already killed enough of my comrades and friends six years ago! I don't want to see anyone die anymore!" Roxanne yelled.

Phantom sighed as he turned to Candice.

"Oh, you're doing the killing by the way Candince." He said ignoring what Roxanne had just said.

"Of course whatever you say Phantom sama!" Candice smiled in a flirty voice.

Roxanne sweat dropped. Do I hate Phantom or do I hate Phantom? Yeah, I hate Phantom.

"I will kill them Phantom sama. May I be dismissed now?" Roxanne asked sweetly.

Phantom nodded as Roxanne left the room.

"Phantom sama. Are you really going to promote her to knight class? She doesn't look that capable…" Candice asked as the door closed.

Phantom then smiled.

"Never judge a book by its cover. That girl… she was even able to resist the arms power when I was using 85% of its power! I had to use 100% of its power for her to go into possessed mode. I've seen what's she's capable of." Phantom said.

Peta then came spoke up.

"Phantom, the arrangments are done for the announcement. May I do it now?" he asked.

Phantom then gave a nod and Peta went off.

Roxanne wasn't as bothered about the killing for the day after tomorrow instead she was pissed at Phantom.

"Roxanne what's wrong?" a voice from behind Roxanne asked.

Roxanne turned to see who it was. It was a girl with short black hair with an eye patch with a skull on it.

"Oh, Marie… it's nothing. I just have to do some killing the day after tomorrow." Roxanne said dusting her hands.

Marie had a worried face on.

"Are you okay with that?" she asked.

Roxanne looked surprised.

"Yeah of course. I can't care less now. One day I'll find out who is behind the whole war game. Behind the queen, the king. And I'll kill the king and end all this!" Roxanne smiled.

Marie gave a smile back.

Roxanne then said good night to Marie and walked away. I know Phantom is going to do something to me that going to be worse than this…. But what? Roxanne thought.

The next day….

People of Renigrave surrounded the place with worried expressions on their faces.

"It's almost noon…" a man said.

"Yeah. No one's shown up… maybe our castle will be destroyed… more importantly. All of MAR heaven will be destroyed…" another man added.

They then heard the gate rise open and all of the people had smiles on their faces.

"Hey… look!" am man said pointing at the direction of the gate.

Shadows loom in the gate as they slowly reveal the Cross guard.

"Look cross guard! And…. Gaira! The number three Gaira!" a man exclaimed.

"The winner of the last war game? He was the one who was paired with Alan and Danna to win the last game! He really did come!" a man said.

Gaira had a frown on his face and walked towards Alviss.

"Alviss it seems that Alan didn't come. Did you heard anything when you met him?" Gaira asked.

Alviss hesitated before answering as flashback played in his head.

"I have a favour to ask you. Go help them. But I'm staying here." Alan said.

"He probably won't…" Alviss said but got cut off.

"Uoh! Did we make in in time! Uhyaaa! What a huge castle!" Ginta yelled.

"Looks like we've made it!" Snow said with a sigh of relief.

Nanashi had a huge toothy grin as he tilted his head.

"I snooped around here before! And it's within the range of the andarta!" he said tilting his head back and forth.

"You can go anywhere, huh…." Edward said staring at Nanashi with disbelief.

Dorothy had her hands on her hips.

"So? Where're the chess?" she asked no one in particular.

Jack suddenly screamed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" he screamed pointing at Alviss.

Ginta held a peace sign at Alviss.

"Yom Alviss! Long time no see." He grinned.

Alviss sweat dropped.

"Ah, yeah." He muttered.

Ginta? This magic power…. He's like a different person. Alviss thought.

The people of Ragenrave looked at the group with disbelief.

"Hey… there's a dog, a kid, a woman… what?" a man said looking at the group.

"Spectators maybe? Don't look like the Cross Guard… and what's that round thing?" another man asked looking at Babbo.

Alvisss smiled as he nodded his head.

"Alan-san's here. Gaira –san." Alviss said.

Question marks popped on Gaira's head thinking Where?

"It's noon… Everyone welcome to Ragenrave. You have my heart-felt gratitude for coming." A woman with long black hair wearing a long white dress said.

People of Ragenrave cried tears of joy.

"Hime!" they cried.

"'Hime?'" Ginta repeated Talking about Snow? He thought.

"That's the princess of Ragenrave…" a man said bowing down to the princess before him.

Ginta looked at the princess with wonder. Why is a princess here? He wondered.

The princess had an emotionless face on.

"Now, the war game will begin. But before that… in order to allow only appropriate participants, a test will be held. All participants please proceed to the central pedestal… and select a magic stone." The princess said.

Everyone then got a magic stone that was the size of their palm and had serious faces on. Everyone but Ginta.

Edward sweat dropped.

"It, it's ok if I don't take one, right?" Edward asked nervously.

Ginta smiled as he tossed the magic stone in the air.

"Should be fine right? Cause when you're like that, you've got no magic at all!" he laughed.

The princess had a pained expression on.

"Commence the test." She said.

Everyone's magical stone glowed and disappeared while they were transported to another dimension.

Jack was scared.

"It's all black where is everyone?" he asked in a panicking tone.

"The stone… a dimension arm. Taking all of us to separate fields so everyone was taken to a different dimension!" Dorothy said.

A pawn appeared behind Nanashi.

Alviss frowned as he saw the pawn.

"A single pawn. To call this a test is insulting." He said with disbelief in his voice.

Everyone was then warped back to where they were.

"Oh!" Ginta exclaimed.

"Too easy!" Jack grinned holding out a peace sign.

"Is everyone all right?" Snow asked.

"Wasn't even a warm up!" Nanashi said.

Ginta then realized Alviss' worried expression.

"Hm? What's wrong Alviss?" he asked.

"None of the cross guard have come back… not even Gaira-san!" Alviss said with dread in his voice.

There was then a flash.

"Here they come!" Ginta smiled.

"Ah yeah…" Alviss said looking a bit relived.

His eyes then widened. The corpses of the Cross guard covered the floorboards.

"Everyone…" Alviss muttered.

"Fufufuh… they all died. The cross guard this time around are rather poor. Perhaps all of the strong ones dies the last game. All that's left are trash lower than pawns…" a lizard said.

"Kuh… where's Gaira-san? There's no way he'd lose to a pawn!" Alviss asked in an angry tone.

"Fufufuf. Who said there were only pawns? There was one magic stone labeled 'instant failure'. There was one man with supremely poor luck perhaps that was him." The lizard continued.

There was then silence until a voice spoke.

"Aviss…" it moaned weakly.

Alviss then gaped.

"Gaira-san!" he yelled as he rushed towards the badly blooded old man.

Gaira coughed huffed and puffed as he mumbled, "I was careless..! to think that I would be removed before the games even started!"

Ginta then turned around,

"He's still alive!" he exclaimed. "Snow!" he yelled.

Within a flash Snow came running towards Gaira.

"Right!" she yelled back.

The lizard had a dark expression on.

"As expeted from the third man, Gaira. He may have lost but he survived a fight with Chimera. I'm impressed." He said and then turned to the people who have passed. "Now then… those who passed are these six!" he said looking at the individuals one by one. "It's rather…" he said but stopped because he saw a flash of light. Alviss and the others immediately turned to the direction of the sound.

"A-A-Another corpse?" Alviss muttered with his voice full of dread.

And to their shock there was a pink haired girl holding three fully grown men and a child on her shoulders. Dead people. She threw one in the air and kicked him all the way to the wall on other side and glared at it.

"Tch! You shameless man! You are coward! And not only one! You even ran away when your comrades were suffering! You even used one to shield you when I attacked you! A child! You don't deserve to live!" she spat at the dead corpse.

She then slowly rolled down the three that were on her shoulders gently on the ground. Mumbling something to them.

But her whisper wasn't loud enough for Alviss and the others to hear and they gave murderous glared at her.

"It's you again. And this time you've killed four of my comrades…" Alviss hissed.

Roxanne eyes widened as she lowered her head.

"Roxanne doesn't like killing! But… Roxanne can't turn down an order from Phantom or else…" she hesitated.

"Or else what? You'd die! So you say that you'd rather kill four lives than for only yourself to die?" Alviss yelled angrily.

Roxanne looked at him with sad eyes.

"No, not only that Alviss… I'll lose the most precious things to me... I'll lose my friends and… a vrry special person…" She muttered.

Alviss and he others gave her glares. Well, except for Nanashi who was with girls again and didn't have a clue what was happening.

KuroiNeko89: This story is getting weirder and weirder with Roxanne in it... maybe I should dismiss for now.

Roxanne: Hey!

KuroiNeko89: It is getting weird! Your saying weird and sappy things!

Roxanne: And who's fault is that?

KuroiNeko89: *sweat drops* Uh... the me from two days ago?

Roxanne: No you, you baka!

KuroiNeko89: *walks away* I'm going to write a bit of you from the start of the next chapter and you're dismissed for two chapters. Goodbye have a nice day everyone.

Roxanne: Hey wait! Grrr! Fine then! Be that way! You'll probably write me when you get lazy from writing from the manga!

KuroiNeko89: Shoosh!
