DUN! DUN! DUN! DUN! The train continues to wander through many dark and long tunnels for roughly three hours and has descended a couple of levels downwards. The Beasts were resting on their chairs and Roo suddenly jumped from his chair while everyone looked towards him.

"I'm tired of sitting down! Where are we going?!" Roo asked while looking towards his teammates who shook their heads.

"We don't know and sit down Roo, you will hurt yourself if the train stopped suddenly," Bunny said while looking towards Roo who stands in the middle of the train while stretching his entire body.

"The train has been moving for a very long time, and we just dropped another level. I'm sure we will be stuck here for a very-" KRRRRRRRRTTT! BOOM! The train suddenly breaks and Roo was suddenly flung to the end of the train car, his head was the first part of his body to make contact with the metal wall of the train and he dropped down to the ground.

"I told you." Bunny stands up and walked towards the train car doors which slowly opened on their own as the train arrived at a train station. Adam walked towards Roo and helped him get up to his feet before following Bull who walked out from the train.

The five of them stands beside each other right in front of the train car doors which slowly closed on their own and looked around the small train station that they were on. The train station was roughly a quarter of a normal train station and it was painted bright white.

TOOOOOOOOOOOOT! The Beasts looked towards the edges of the train station while the train behind them leaves and can't see anything except darkness. Adam looked forwards and looked towards a tall and wide rounded top red wooden double door that was a couple of meters in front of them.

KRRREEET! The doors suddenly swung open and the Beasts quickly looked towards it. A woman who was wearing a set of an old nurse uniform slowly walked out from the door, she has a long black dress with long sleeves underneath her long white apron that has a large logo of a bee in the middle of it. She was wearing a bee mask that has a small nurse hat on top of it and she stopped right in front of the Beasts.

"Welcome, Beasts. Please follow me, the King is waiting for all of you." The woman greeted while looking towards each member of the Beasts. She turned around and walked back towards the doors while the Beasts followed her.

They entered through the door and walked along a wide and long hallway while the doors behind them closed on their own.

"Excuse me, are we the only team that has been invited to this meeting?" Adam asked while looking towards the bee-masked woman.

"Yes. The King wants to know more about each of the contestants and teams who have passed the fifth game. The King and his guardians will be in this meeting and will be asking all of you a couple of questions." The bee-masked woman explained.

They reached the end of the tunnel and stopped right in front of a large wooden door, the bee-masked woman turned around and looked towards the Beasts. She reached her hand into the large pocket of her apron and showed her hand towards the Beasts "All of you must be nervous, I remember the first time I met the King and my palms were sweating. Eat this, it will make all of you feel better."

"Thank you." The Beasts grabbed a candy each which was wrapped in yellow paper candy wrap that has a large bee drawing in the middle of it and ate it, while the bee-masked woman smiled towards them.

"Let's go inside, and good luck." The bee-masked woman opened the door and let the Beasts entered through the door before her. She closed the door behind her while the Beasts looked around the large hall that they entered.

It was a large luxurious hall and the five of them looked ahead and saw the King who was seated on a large wooden chair, with a couple of chairs on his right and left that was formed into a half-circle.

The Beasts looked towards each of the chairs that were beside the King and saw a couple of familiar faces who were waving towards them. They waved back and looked towards the other King's guardians who they didn't recognize.

Bunny looked towards all of the chairs that were on the sides of the King and noticed that one of them was empty "Hey, Bull. Look over there, why is that chair empty?"

"I don't know," Bull whispered back while raising his shoulders.

The Beasts stopped right in the middle of the room and lined up with the bee-masked woman behind them while facing the King who slowly stands up "Welcome, Beasts! Congratulations on surviving The King's Game for this long! We thank you for giving everyone in this world an amazing show!"

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! The room was filled with clapping as the King suddenly clapped and the King's guardian quickly joined him. The King stopped and smiled towards the Beasts while the room fell quiet "I invited all five of you here today to ask each of you three simple questions."

"Let's start with you." Kuma smiled and pointed towards Crow who instantly nodded while looking towards him.

"First question, what is the reason for you to enter The King's Game?" Kuma asked.

"The first time I came here, I wanted to learn how to become a sharpshooter and become the Queen of the game. But that's not my goal anymore, I want to help my friends and win the entire game together." Crow answered and suddenly closed her mouth with both of her hands.

"What just happened? That was not the answer that I wanted to say." Crow asked while looking towards her friends confusedly.

"Let me explain." The Beasts turned their head around and looked towards the bee-masked woman who walked forwards. The bee-masked woman stopped a couple of meters in front of the Beasts and turned around towards them.

"My name is Truth and I'm one of the King's guardians. The candy that all of you have eaten was infused with my blood and you will only tell the truth, when you have digested my blood and in my vision." The bee-masked woman explained. Truth smiled towards the Beasts and walked towards the empty chair which was beside Ox.

"Thank you, Truth. Now let's continue with the second question, have you ever got contacted by the government or the Bangarang?" Kuma looked towards Crow.

"No," Crow answered while shaking her head.

"Good. And the last question, are you here to kill me?" Kuma asked.

"No," Crow answered.

"Thank you. Now is your turn." Kuma looked towards Bunny and pointed towards her while she nodded.

"What is the reason for you to enter The King's Game?" Kuma asked.

"To find cures for incurable diseases," Bunny answered.

"Have you ever got contacted by the government or the Bangarang?" Kuma asked.

"No," Bunny answered.

"Are you here to kill me?" Kuma asked.

"No," Bunny answered.

"I love the answers, now you. What is the reason for you to enter The King's Game?" Kuma smiled and pointed towards Roo.

"My mentor told me that I won't be able to live in the normal world. So, he told me to enter The King's Game." Roo explained while looking towards Kuma.

"Have you ever got contacted by the government or the Bangarang?" Kuma asked.

"No," Roo answered.

"Are you here to kill me?" Kuma asked.

"No," Roo answered.

"Okay, next. What is the reason for you to enter The King's Game?" Kuma looked towards Bull and pointed at him.

"To find my brother," Bull answered.

"Have you ever got contacted by the government or the Bangarang?" Kuma asked.

"No," Bull answered.

"Are you here to kill me?" Kuma asked.

"No," Bull answered.

"Good and last but not least, Lion. The leader of the Beasts, what is the reason for you to enter The King's Game?" Kuma asked while looking towards Adam.

"To avenge my father," Adam answered.

"Have you ever got contacted by the government or the Bangarang?" Kuma asked.

"No," Adam answered.

"And the last question, are you here to kill me?" Kuma asked.

"I was before. But I'm still looking for an answer," Adam answered.

BOOOOOOOOM! SWOOOOOOOOOOOSH! BOOOOOOM! "He's not a traitor, go back to your seat Ox." The Beasts suddenly looked towards Kuma who was standing a couple of steps in front of Adam.

Ox was standing right in front of Kuma with his right clenched fist extended right in front of Kuma's face, which Kuma was holding with his right index finger. Ox suddenly kneeled on the ground and bowed towards Kuma who was staring at him "I'm sorry, my King."

Ox stands up and walked back to his chair while Kuma turned around and looked towards Adam who was right behind him "So you wanted to kill me."

"Well, I'm not wrong for wanting to kill the person who killed my father. But before doing that I want to know more about what had happened." Adam answered.

"I did kill your father but there's a reason for that, he was controlled and it was the only way to free him. And I know who you have to kill to avenge your father," Kuma said.

"Controlled?" Adam asked.

"Yes, but right now you can't even touch him. So you need to get stronger and then I will tell you who is it." Kuma smiled and walked back towards his chair.

Kuma sat down on his chair and looked towards the Beasts who were standing beside each other "Let's get to the point of this meeting. The King's Game will be put on hold because a war is coming our way and we need all of you to prepare for it."
