"Since you guys are open to discussion, I would like to say something before you begin to kill each other," The boy was at the crux of this fight but no one seems to care for his opinion. Nonetheless, he saw an opportunity and demanded his voice to be heard.

Aside from Ann, the other three card apprentices who had just agreed to take the fight outside of the city turned to look at the boy in surprise, listening to him trying to make demands. They were astonished that the boy would speak up despite all that transpired so far instead of cowering for his life, however, General Baylor was the first to react and entertained the boy's notion regardless of being stressed by time, "What is it, son?"

"First, the only people that had the right to call me son are buried here. Second, Ann, how is Anna? And third, are you guys here to kill me or talk to me? If you really are here just to talk to me as you claimed, then why did the demigod on your side try to assassinate me as a suicide bomber regardless of the obvious casualties?" These were the things on my mind right now knowing that Susan had left the city. It took longer than I thought but old Ben was not to blame, Corey and Park happened. Besides, why weren't Corey and Park creating the cards as they promised? I have the laziest employees.

"Don't worry about Anna, though she barely made it, she will live," Ann answered the boy and was quite pleased that the boy bothered to show concern about Anna amidst the fight for his life.

General Baylor was about to answer the boy but was interrupted by Lois, "General, don't tell me you plan to waste the limited time reasoning with the boy. Just grab him, you can tell him as many bedtime stories as you want in the safe house."

"Yes, I do plan to do that. Isn't that the real reason why we are here?" General Baylor would have lived for nothing if he were not able to tell by now that Agent Uri and Lois planned to kill. Uri's suicide bombing had made it apparent. But he still did not turn on them only because he knew if it were just him the southern royal family would never allow him to talk to the boy as he hoped to, Colleen's attitude yesterday morning was a testament to that. He was stuck in rather tricky circumstances but he wanted to make use of them to get what he wanted.

Demigod Backster was befuddled by how things were shaping out to be, he couldn't help but look at the boy with admiration for subtly stalling for time by making use of the differences between the enemies. With this admiration Demigod Backster began to see him in a new light, after all this little card soldier had managed to hook the fish that he couldn't, Anna Heatsend. What surprised him, even more, was he was feeling jealous and a sense of rivalry toward the little card soldier. He thought that it was the funniest thing he felt so far. He was comparing himself, a card demigod, with a card soldier, how funny and degrading was that?

While demigod Backster was sorting his mixed emotions for the boy, Agent Lois from the secret police complained, "I told Henricks you could not be trusted *poof*"

Lois suddenly vanished and instantly appeared behind the boy with her right arm piercing through his heart, then turning to look at General Baylor she said, "I can't believe why it took me so long to do this. Had I done this as soon as we arrived I would be back home in time for the morning show."

Thinking that she won, Lois failed to notice what the other three noticed, that there wasn't a single drop of blood. Then the head of the boy who was hanging by Lois's arm that was piercing through his chest made a full 180-degree turn, and looking into Lois's eyes he said, "To think a semi-demigod would stoop so low to backstab a card soldier, speaks a lot about your character."

Having said that to Lois's dismay, the boy's impaled body burst into a swarm of insects that dispersed trying to escape by burrowing into the ground or fly or just crawl away, there were just too many of them to keep count of. Seeing this Lois immediately reacted and yelled, "Inferno."

"No," General Baylor, Demigod Backster, and Ann tried to stop Lois and protect the escaping insects but they suddenly felt that the entire world was against them the soul energy, rule power, and divinity, that they have spent their entire life refining suddenly did not obey them rather even rebelled against their control. They could only watch as the wind suddenly turned into a blazing fire burning every last one of the insects to ashes before they could escape, without damaging the surrounding cemetery. That was the degree of control Lois had on her soul power, rule power, and divinity thanks to her right eye.

"It's just a trick, close the path connecting your ego gem or divinity to the world, she is disturbing the harmony between the energies in our bodies through there," Ann yelled revealing Lois's trick that made it look like she could control the energies in their body. Anna had a field card that did the same, the Damned Arena.

There were different energies in a card apprentice's body, these energies need to be in harmony or at the least an equilibrium, for the card apprentice to make use of them however if these energies are in disharmony they would run rampant, card apprentice will have a hard time getting these energies in control and get them to do what they want them to. In the worst-case scenario, the imbalance in the energies can be so large that the card apprentice's ego gem or divinity might end up exploding resulting in their death.
