Back to Retronia (Part 5)

{Dennis pov}

It's been three hours since I sent my friends out to find some leads on our target. I was bored out of my mind. Being with Sally could be the death of me. But she played along with my act. This world has some answers that I need before I could track down Ragnarok. He or she must be waiting for me, alone, lost. Hoping for somebody to find them. But sadly, Ragnarok is my target alone. If someone else takes them out before I can decide, they will pay.

During my time around the castle. I noticed that someone connected this building to the tower. There was a button over by Sally's office that caught my curiosity. She and I were in her personal room discussing over territory. Her room was like a simple teenage girl's bedroom. I wasn't paying enough attention to my surroundings until I saw the name Anima over by the northwestern corner of the map on the wall.

"Hey Sall, can you tell me more about the kingdom of Anima? I was planing to pay a visit soon."

"Alright, but I will have to explain the map for you from zero."

Sally was then pointing with a red dot at the northeast corner of the map.

"As you can see, this is the Celestian kingdom, Celeste never gave you the name or probably X never tells you anything."

"Noted."

I said to Sally. She then continued on with the kingdom of Retronia.

"This is Retronia, we are at the southeastern part of the continent. We as well are allies to the Celestian kingdom. Water surrounds the kingdom in the middle of the continent. It is called Lognia. On the south and north in the center of the map. There are called big bridges. Over by the western continent, you have Etheria to the south. Anima to north. And as last the kingdom in the sky, Wingveil."

Sally said. I then wondered why are there only six kingdoms. But Sally looked at me as if she knew what was I going to ask.

"If you are wondering if there's a seventh kingdom, then don't bother asking."

"Ok then, tell me something that I don't know."

I said to Sally. She then holds me down, forcing me to sit down.

"You have the son of the ruler of Anima."

"I figured it would come up, eventually... Is it Ace?"

I asked. It made sense to me. When Sally said that I had the son of Anima, the only person who came in mind was Ace since Yen was my son.

"Yea, if you are planing ongoing then take him with you."

I nodded at Sally. Confirming that I will take Ace to Anima. We then got interrupted by someone that was knocking on the door. Sally had a close eye on me, she then was walking backwards towards the door. As she opened it, I saw that my friends have returned from their recon mission.

"So, what are we dealing with?"

I asked. Dj was the first to stand in front of me and explained the situation.

"We have tracked down the target into an abandoned part of the city, but they are not a lone. I picked up the presence of Mecha was nearby. If we stayed any longer. We could have made things worse."

Dj said to me. From what I could understand. My imposter ain't working alone. This gave me an idea, but it will require some help.

"Okay. I guess I can come up with a plan. We need to head to the tower to collect some gear. If we are going to deal with Mecha and Rampage. We need some protection."

I said. Then we all looked at our own clothes to realize that we can easily take some damage at this rate.

"If you guys want to get to the tower fast. I can take you guys with a secret passage."

Sally said. We then got confused and followed her in to the throne room. Everyone stayed quiet for now. But as I suspect about the button, she moved the throne and revealed an x shaped button. She then pressed it and we ended up traveling to another office.

"Easy travel transition, no flashy lights and we still intact."

I said out loud. Then I was inspecting every corner of the office. It had a magnificent view to the outside. The office was taking over an entire floor, and it was mostly colored black.

"Dude, where are we?"

I turned around and heard Nidializ.

"We are at my office. The GDXS tower. Make yourselves at home since we are staying here for a while."

I said to everyone. Then I noticed Kiwi acting strange, as if she lost something.

"Dennis, do you know if X is coming over?"

Kiwi asked.

"In about a few hours. If we wait long enough that is."

I said to Kiwi. She then went and found herself a computer that she can use to pass the time.

As we waited. Claire and Sally having a chat as if they haven't spoken to each other over by a decade. Nidializ was down on a couch drawing to kill time while me and Dj were looking outside the window.

"Dj, I want you to do something once the fight starts."

"Don't worry. I'll take care of Mecha once the fight starts. You better take care of the imposter."

Dj said to me.

"Then that leaves the girls to deal with Rampage. I would deal with her myself, but I don't have time to waste."

I said to Dj. I then walk away and sat down on my office chair. Then the computer turned on by itself and I gave it an order.

"Computer, open the armory."

I said to the computer. On the screen it said access granted, and I saw that a door to my right was being opened.

"Guy's, I'll be back later. Going to find us some gear while we wait."

I said to my friends and headed off. This was enough time for me to find us some stuff. But it will take long.
