Ian, James, Sam, King Vladimir, Queen Archandia, Adam, Himori, and Bavery were discussing something important before they proceed to their training. King Vladimir was curious of why Adeath is on the Wasteland.
"What is this all about, Adeath? I haven't seen your magic before and what are you doing here on the wasteland?" King Vladimir asked Adam.
"I'm not deserving to be one of the Stanforce Team, my King so I declare that I am no longer a Stanforce. Maybe it's time for you to know everything about us as we are already exposed and we have nowhere to hide. We are the cursed attunement and the only attunement which could bring the Soul attunement down. We are considered to be the strongest attunement in the past but unfortunately, one of the Soul and Dark Almighty who got a supreme power, killed our root, Jax. We are still finding ways to regain our freedom but I think, we are already on the brink of extinction as there are only few of us left. My mission was to destroy your family at first, however, as I continue to stay as your servant, I actually did like you because you are the nicest being I've known. You trusted me in a way that you entrusted Gaia to me. I know I'm not deserving with that because of my true motive so I continued my mission and betray you and the Stanforce. You became my family and accepted me even if I am a nobody. I realized that you don't deserve to be betrayed, that's why it is just right for me to live. I am one of the Shadows, who are believed to destroy this universe. We all hide here on the wasteland but right now, we don't need to hide anymore, so we need to fight with our lives." Adam answered King Vladimir.
King Vladimir became disappointed with Adeath but understood their situation. "So what are you planning to do now?" King Vladimir asked.
"I guess I'll help my father to fight and defeat Zeo, my King. I want you to meet Himori. She is the only Shadow attuned being left aside from me and Ian here. Father will be here soon and I want her to be in safe hands now that she's already all alone without her father, Mercure." Adam said. Himori shyly hid at the back of Adam.
Ian and Samantha approached Himori, Samantha hugged her and she hugged Samantha back. "You don't have to be scared anymore, Himori. We'll protect you now." Samantha said. Himori doesn't speak and still feels devastated. "I promise to avenge your father's death and gain back our freedom, Himori. We are your family now." Ian said.
They all welcomed Himori to their family. Himori smiled a little and touched the face of Ian and Sam. "I think she will be happy living with you Sam and Ian. Please take good care of her." Adam said.
"We will, Adam. Just be careful on your journey. I know we will fight alongside each other once we face Zeo." Ian replied.
"Yes, Ian. I will help you fight the Titans for the meantime while waiting for my father here. I'm sorry, my King, I couldn't protect your mother from them." Adam said.
King Vladimir ignored him. "No worries, Adeath. We know our mother will be safe somewhere. She's really a tough woman and we trust her." James replied.
"Thank you James. I know, it's not easy for you to forgive me but I will do my best to redeem myself." Adam said.
"It's hard for now, Adam, but I'm sure we'll be ready to accept you back in time. For now, just don't return to Gaia as your punishment. I will be the one leading the Stanforce starting for today. You are officially not a member of the Stanforce anymore." King Vladimir said.
Adam smiled genuinely and accepted his punishment. They continued their journey towards attaining all of the Titan's power. The next Titan they will face is Thorn.
"Do you have any idea about Thorn, Stella?" James asked Stella. "Pretty much James. He is the Titan of Nature, which comprises three attunements, and they are Wood, Ground and Water. He will be your hardest challenge as he is your last trial before Ian faces the Top 3 strongest Titans. Hehe." Stella answered James' question.
