During dinner prepared by the housewives in the residential area. 'Everyone! Can i have your attention please!' Usyair stood up. 'We have two new and very valuable members that have joined our cause! As some people have noticed, these two sitting opposite of me are the new recruits! Would you like to introduce yourselves?' Same ans Leong stood up. 'Yo, the name's Same, came to help the cause. Nice to meet you guys!' Some of the residents nodded in acknowledgement. 'My name is Leong, and nice you meet you guys...' Leong and Same sat down. 'I would like to add' Usyair cleared his throat. 'They are the people from the past that the dead oracle prophesied, the ones that are going to kill the emperor!' Ran immediately look over to Same. Usyair raised up his wine cup. 'A toast! To the new recruits!' everyone raised their drinking cups. 'You didn't tell me you were from the past?' Ran asked Same. 'Well you didn't ask.' Same said jokingly. 'Wow cool...'
People were sitting on the floor of the cafeteria after their dinner. They were all gathered around Same and Leong, all asking questions. 'So how was the past like' one resident asked. 'Well, its something a little better than this in terms of politics, just a little and out technology is much much worse than it is now' Leong answered. 'Hey you have a girlfriend?' a resident asked Leong. 'I'm said to say that i'm single and not available and will not be available as long as i'm alive.' 'Awwww... How cruel.' The resident went away. Phea came in 'Ussy, i closed the shop, i see they're getting along well with the people here.' 'Yeah.'
'Awww you guys have to leave now?' Ran was dissapointed. 'Don't worry, we'll come back tomorow for more shooting training' Same said. 'I'll be waiting!'
Same and Leong was walking back to the house and they saw the house door is open. Same went in first. 'Leong, you gotta look at this.' Leong went in and saw Lexis lying on the floor with his mouth open and his eyes flipped. 'Oh my god is he dead!' 'Damn! Regna!' He ran to the living room and saw Annix and Yaru unconscious on the floor. Same took Annix's head on his lap 'Are you okay Annix!' 'Same...' 'What happened here?' 'The Masquerade Echo came...' 'Leong get some water!' 'Is Yaru okay?' 'I'll go check' Same took a pillow from the couch and put Annix's head on it. Leong took a glass of water and fed it to Annix. Same checked for Yaru's pulse. 'She's okay.' 'Thank god...'
Annix is able to sit straight now. 'Where's Regna?' 'She got taken by the Masquerade Echo.' 'Who are the Masquerade Echo?' 'They're the elites of the elite, i thought they're existence was only a rumour' Loeng's comm device rang. 'This is Leong speaking.' 'Its Usyair! Turn on the news now!' Leong went to on the television, it was already on the news. 'This just in, the oracle that is rumored to be dead is back to the side of the emperor. We have our one and only Wei live in the palace, to you Wei.' 'Yes its is astonishing that the oracle that was executed is alive and well. Rumors say that the oracle lived with the people from the past she predicted that is going to kill the emperor.' The crowd behind the new anchor suddenly silenced, the news anchor looked back and saw the oracle, dressed in a ceremonial robe, her face heavily powdered and wearing a very heavy looking headdress. Same saw the oracle and his gut told him that it was Regna but she was hard to recognize until she spoke. 'My people! I am back and i have lived with the assassins the past few weeks! Now i have information about the rebellion movement that is happening underground! I will not disclose the information to anyone but the emperor and ask his opinion on things!' then she went back into the palace. 'Well there you have it, and now the oracle has revealed the faces of the two assassins' Same turned off the television. 'Its her voice...' 'I'm so sorry Same...' Annix comforted Same. 'I'm going to sleep' Same went upstairs. Annix followed Same but she stopped and saw Lexis's body.
'Looks like he died on the cause of choking on a rubber slug the Masquerade Echo used.' Annix took out a pair of forceps from a nearby drawer and inserted it into Lexis's mouth and pulled out a rubber slug that is three centimeters in diameter. 'Looks like riot guns can kill when you hit the right place.'
