## We All Fall

#### **Plot**

**Bronze Palace**

Anita is standing in one of the rooms of the palace, looking out over the city. Carlos approaches her. Anita asks Carlos if the palace is secure. He informs her it has. Carlos then asks if this was always her plan. Anita admits she merely wanted to infiltrate the Bronze King's court and see if she could be presented with an opportunity to kill Abraham when he arrived, but she sensed Joseph's frustration and decided to use it. Carlos smiles, saying their plan worked. Anita looks to Carlos, asking who's plan it really was. She then asks why he helped her. Carlos tells her he has seen the power of the Gold Empire and knew the Bronze Kingdom wouldn't stand a chance, that he saw where the wind was blowing. Anita then asks where Abraham is, but Carlos confesses he does not know nor does he know where the Bronze Princess is. Anita isn't concerned as they have Aurora. She then remembers about Fabian. She asks Carlos to send an invitation to Fabian, asking him to come to the Palace. Carlos bows and walks out. Anita sighs in happiness before she leaves the room, walks down the hallway and enters into another room. A bedroom. She sees Joseph sitting in a jail cell in a corner of the room, his hands covered in Iron gloves. Anita shifts her hand, opening the cage then uses her power over the iron collar to pull Joseph to her then unto his knees. Joseph looks completely defeated as Anita grabs his chin and kisses his lips. She then steps back unto her bed, Joseph kneeling before her. Anita slides her boot along his chest then opens her legs, smiling at Joseph

**Somewhere in the Middlesbury Forest**

Abby steps out of the car in front of a large wooden cabin house. Abraham and Patrick step out as well both admiring it greatly. Abby then points out the man made lake if they need to do swim training. Patrick suggests this place was purpose built for training. Abby heads inside with both of them, telling Patrick that it was meant to be a vacation home. She looks around, taking a deep breath. Abraham asks if Abby is happy to be back, to which she agrees. Abby then heads upstairs, telling the boys to follow, showing each of them their rooms and her own. Abraham and Patrick both set their bags down and walk downstairs. Abby asks where they are going but Abraham tells her they aren't planning on waiting around. Patrick steps outside and forms his sword as does Abraham who follows. Abby walks out with them and sits on the porch. Both of them make a few stretches before getting down to fighting

**Palace Restaurant**

Fabian and Hallie step out of a their car and head towards the Restaurant. Hallie tells Fabian that Tuesdays are usually very quiet so they can slip out at some point. Fabian says he likes that idea. They come to the door but find a letter wedged between the doors. Fabian takes it, seeing his name on it. He looks at Hallie as he opens it. He reads that word has spread of his incredible cooking skills and is invited to cook a meal for the King of the Bronze Kingdom. Even Hallie is shocked as is Fabian. Hallie kisses Fabian, and tells him this is his chance to make it. Fabian agrees, smiling as Hallie opens up the restaurant, as Fabian tells her he doesn't have to be there until 2:00pm. Hallie is glad as he can then help with the Lunch rush.

**Palace Prison**

Aurora's eyes slowly open, seeing the roof above her and a Hunters amulet. She slowly sits up, seeing a row of bars in front of her. She gets up and looks around. She sees two Kemiya's taking a body out from one of the cells. She steps back, her mouth over her hand, seeing its the Bronze King. A voice speaks to her, telling her that could be her fate. Anita steps to in front of the bars. Aurora curses Anita but Anita smiles, saying it was good that she is there since she doesn't know where Abraham is. Aurora smiles and tells Anita she'll never tell her, but Anita tells Aurora that she knows that fact. Anita further states that she doesn't need to know where Abraham is, as she knows where he is going to go. Anita smirks at Aurora telling her that Abraham is going to come right back to Barcelona. Aurora realises the same. Anita then asks where the Wolf is. Aurora says she doesn't know, but Anita isn't convinced. She tells Aurora she'll find the wolf, and put her down. Aurora grabs the bars, telling Anita to shut up. Anita tells Aurora to get comfortable, but also warns that comfort, may not last

**Somewhere in the Middlesbury Forest**

Patrick was sitting down this time as Abby and Abraham were training. Abby goes strong on the attack but Abraham keeps a good defence up. He then heads on the attack but Abby blocks him off and counters, cutting his leg. Abraham tries again but is again countered with another cut on his leg. Abraham backs off as Abby tells him he lacks imagination when attacking. Abraham stands on defence as Abby attacks, with Abraham blocking. He then tries to counter her but Abby blocks Abraham off, and gives a smile before he sweeps Abraham's legs out from under him. Abby smiles at her triumph but Abraham gets back to his feet quickly and attacks, catching Abby almost off guard. He then starts to strike, wild and recklessly. Abby is forced to defend herself. Patrick starts to get nervous before Abraham knocks Abby down. Abraham then stabs his sword down at Abby but Patrick shouts for him to stop. Abraham stops, just mere inches from Abby's neck. His face softens as he realises what he almost did. He steps back and apologises to Abby. He reforms his sword and turns, walking away. Abby gets back to her feet, about to walk after him but Patrick grabs her arm, and shakes his head. Abby asks what is was but Patricks says he isn't sure. He sometimes feels Abraham's anger control him when he's fighting. Abby admits it could serve him well, as long as he can control it. Patrick sits down again as does Abby. She asks Patrick what his story is. Patrick tells her that he and Abraham met on the say he escaped from the Gold Prison and that he saved his life. He further explains that Riley and Aurora also owe him their lives. Abby asks if that is why he's helping him. Patrick admits that it is and that Abraham made him a promise. Abby mentions about Kemiya honour. Patrick agrees then asks what its like being royalty. Abby tells him that it sucks, that being followed all the time and having little freedom, is near soul crushing, hence why she sneaks out at night to fight in the arena. Patrick asks how no other Kemiya has figured out who she is. Abby tells him that all others think she is just hiding her spiritual pressure. Patrick then asks if she feels the thrill of combat to which she denies, at least not to his extent. Patrick then stands and forms his sword, asking if Abby wants to have a go. Abby smiles and stands, ready to fight

**Bronze Palace.**

Fabian and Hallie step out of the limo in front of the Bronze Palace. Hallie is smiling widely as is Fabian. She hangs on his arm as they head into the throne room. Fabian tells her to stop to be more professional. Hallie agrees and stands separate as they head up to the throne. They stand and wait for a few moments but no one arrives. Hallie says he must be running late. Fabian then uses his senses then thinks for a moment. He then tells Hallie to run. Hallie is confused but Fabian shouts at her to run. Hallie does as Fabian forms his sword but a chain wraps around Hallie's ankle. One of the guards is holding a Copper chain. Fabian rushes towards him but two more chains wrap around his wrists as Hallie is dragged back, with the guard grabbing her, a sword held to her throat. Fabian demands she be released but Anita steps out, telling Fabian to calm down. Fabian asks what Anita is doing there. She is surprised he'd ask and says she's doing the job he should have been doing. Fabian demands Hallie be released. Anita walks to Hallie, admiring her. Anita tells Hallie she is Fabian's ex. Hallie is about to speak but Fabian again demands she be released. Anita sighs and agrees, saying she only wants Fabian as Michael would love to see Fabian again. Hallie is released, looking at Fabian. Fabian tells her to go and that he will be ok. Hallie sheds a tear before she leaves. Anita tells her guards to take Fabian downstairs. The guards take Fabian's arm and drag him to the cell block. They throw him into a cell and lock the door. Fabian looks up, seeing Aurora looking down at him, as she then asks what he is doing there

**Train Station**

Riley looks at her watch as she looks at the train time table, her train due to arrive in 5 minutes. She then looks at her phone, plugging it into a portable battery. She curses herself that she let her battery run out. After another moment the phone starts up. She takes it and waits as it loads up before seeing a missed call from Aurora. She tries to call back but doesn't get an answer. Riley is a little surprised, but she tries again, still getting no answer. She looks at her watch again before she stands and heads down to the platform. She waits another minute before she tries Aurora again. Just as the phone is ringing the train pulls into the station. Riley still gets no answer. The train stops and the doors open as the passengers disembark. Riley looks a little uneasy. The passengers begin to embark. Riley takes a moment and takes one step forward before she stops and looks down. Her body tensing up as the doors close. Riley turns and starts to run up the steps and out of the station. She speaks to herself, that something isn't right.

**Somewhere in the Middlesbury Forest**

Abby steps out of the shower, bruises and cuts on her body. She freshens up and gets dressed before heading downstairs. Its early evening. Patrick is there making himself a drink. Abby asks for one and asks where Abraham is. Patrick tells her he is outside, still training. She chuckles and accepts the whiskey Patrick gives her. Both toast and take a drink. Abby tells Patrick that she is surprised that he is still with Abraham, suggesting that he is more of a loner. Patrick tells her that most Kemiya's are. Abby then takes out her phone and makes a call. Patrick asks who's she's calling to which she replies that she's calling her father. She waits but gets no reply. She finds it strange but Patrick suggests he's either busy or sleeping. Abby agrees but its very rare that he doesn't even answer. She dials another number, saying that he brother may know. Patrick waits as she again, gets no answer. Abby takes a moment, and tells Patrick that something isn't right. Patrick suggests she's being paranoid but Abby calls another number. Patrick asks who she's calling now. She doesn't say but again, gets no answer. She tells Patrick that she was calling her personal bodyguard and that 3 numbers she'd called an no replies. Patrick is about to speak, but his phone rings. He looks at it, seeing its Riley calling. Patrick answers. Riley tells him that Aurora isn't picking her phone. Patrick asks how many times she called. Riley tells him she called 4 times, and she's not at the hotel. Patrick too starts to get nervous and tells Riley that the King or Prince aren't picking up either. Riley says she knows something is wrong. Patrick agrees and tells Riley to lay low and to leave the hotel. He hangs up and tells Abby that Aurora is missing. Abby tells her she's going back. Patrick says he will come but Abby tells him they need to train, but Patrick tells Abby that if something is wrong, she'll need help. Abby smiles weakly and nods. Abraham steps inside, asking what is going on

**Palace Prison**

Fabian gets to his feet and stands, seeing Aurora there. Aurora is surprised to see him in a cell with her. Fabian tells her Anita threw him in there, after she some how found out he was in town. Aurora takes a moment, realising she was the one that ratted him out. He sits down one of the beds, looking down at the floor before he looks at Aurora again, stating that he won't hurt her. Aurora isn't convinced but Fabian tells her he is no threat to her anymore. Michael abandoned him and he owes him no allegiance, and Anita, his ex girlfriend had him thrown in jail. Aurora does admit that he may not be a threat, but considering all Fabian has done she'll need more convincing. Fabian then asks Aurora what exactly he's done, besides try to capture Abraham. Fabian admits that he imprisoned Boris in Lessia and a few of his own men, but never anyone innocent. And that he helped them in Saint Marina. Aurora retorts that he did that for his own revenge, just like when he killed Frances for revenge. Fabian tells her that wasn't just for revenge. Fabian reminds her it was the second time he saved her life, the first time being in Saint Marina. Again Aurora goes quiet. Fabian looks at Aurora, telling her his life has not been easy. That most Kemiya's experience freedom when they are trained while he was called to serve Michael. Aurora shakes her head, telling Fabian everyone has a sad story to tell, like how she was enslaved to a man who held her father soul. Fabian looks up, a little surprised by her words, but asks if Abraham freed her. Aurora admits he did. Fabian nods then asks her to remember that so far, he hasn't even asked where Abraham is. Aurora admits he is right, but further states that even if she knew, she wouldn't tell him. Fabian gives a gentle smile, telling her she's a tough one. Aurora finally decides to take a seat. Fabian asks if she's from Barcelona. Aurora tells him that she is. Fabian then asks if this is the home coming she was hoping for. Aurora can't help but laugh as she says it was certainly not. Aurora then stands and walks back to the door. Fabian asks what she's doing but Aurora tells him to be quiet. She focuses and tries to use her power on the lock. Fabian watches as Aurora struggles but then stops, sighing deeply. Fabian asks if she can use her power despite the amulet over their heads. Aurora tells him she did manage to turn the lock slightly before he was thrown in. Fabian then asks if she can channel whatever power he has. Aurora turns to him, unsure if she can and how he knows about such a technique. Fabian smiles, admitting he knows a few Witches. Fabian sits Aurora down and says he'll teach her

**Outside the Bronze Palace**

Later in the evening, Abraham, Patrick and Abby are across the street from the Palace. Abby sees the palace is on high alert with all the lights on. Abraham asks if there is another way in to which Abby replies that their is. Patrick turns, his sword drawn but he stops seeing Riley behind them. Patrick sighs and reforms his sword, asking if she's crazy to sneak up on a Kemiya. Riley admits that it wasn't her best move. Abraham asks what Riley knows. Riley tells him she only just arrived. All eyes turn to Abby who tells them to follow her. They head out and down a few blocks until they come to a metal door with a combination lock on it. She puts in the numbers then uses her power to open the door. Abby looks around as they all enter and close the door behind. A passageway with stairs leading down lights up. Abraham asks what the place is. Abby tells him its the kings escape route and comes out into his private bed chambers. As they walk, Riley admits she smells someone. Abby turns to her, but Patrick reminds Abby Riley is a werewolf. Abby admits her surprise. The gang walk on a bit longer until they come to a door. Riley tells her someone is in the room. Patrick tells her he can't sense anyone. Abby forms her sword and opens the door, opening inside of the King's walk in wardrobe. She slowly steps out and looks around. She then walks through the wardrobe with the others behind. Abby peeks inside the room, seeing a cage then Joseph sitting in the cage with an Iron collar on his neck. Abby rushes to him. Joseph is stunned and rushes to the cage, his hands grabbing Abby's. Abby asks what happened. Joseph is almost to ashamed to admit it, but he tells Abby it's all his fault. Abby asks what he means. Patrick and others listen as Joseph explains that he overthrew the King, but Anita betrayed him and now...he is her slave. Abby steps back, a look of horror on her face. She asks if their father is dead. Joseph tells her is not sure but if he's alive, he'll be in the cells. Abby forms her sword but Patrick stands before her, telling her that even with their spiritual pressures lowered, someone may have sensed  them and they have to move, quickly. Joseph agrees, and tells them to go. Riley asks if they should at least free Joseph. Abby grabs the bars and reforms the lock into Bronze, opening the door, but Joseph doesn't move. Abraham asks what the problem is, but Joseph tells them he deserves to suffer. Patrick rolls his eyes, telling him to forget his pride and to help save the Kingdom. Joseph tells them there is a vial of poison in his collar and if he is gone, someone will know they are here and that they are still wasting time. Abby turns and leaves the room. Patrick walks after her, asking her to think for a moment. Abby turns to him, telling him her country is under threat because of him. Patrick admits he screwed up hugely, but asks her to remember they have a friend at stake as well and not being sneaky is going to get everyone killed. Abby clenches her fist and nods. Abraham looks around, asking Abby which way to the Cells. She points down a hallway and tells them to follow her

Fabian is holding Aurora's hand as she is still struggling to get the lock open before she finally hears the click. Fabian smiles as Aurora turns to him, and suddenly jumps up to hug him. Fabian accepts her hug but parts from her. Both of them are close, looking into each others eyes before Aurora clears her throat and tells Fabian they should get out of there. She quickly walks out the cell door, followed by Fabian. Fabian takes a breath, feeling his power return. Both he and Aurora walk down a hallway. Fabian tells her to stop, telling her he can sense someone approaching. He forms his sword and steps out, being confronted by Abraham and the others who also have their swords drawn. Abraham raises his sword but Aurora steps out, telling him to stop. Riley hugs Aurora, telling her she's glad she's ok. Patrick asks what Fabian is doing there. Aurora tells the gang that Anita threw him in with her. Fabian reforms his sword and tells Abraham they are now both enemies of Anita and Michael. Abraham still isn't sure but Patrick suggests they leave. Abby tells her she is going to kill Anita. Another voice speaks, telling Abby that the challenge would be accepted. Anita stands down the hallway with a small force of Gold Kemiya. Abby forms her sword but Fabian puts his arm out. Abby asks what he's doing but Fabian tells her and the others to leave. He is going to take on Anita. Abraham admits Fabian has guts and then tells Abby they are not on favourable ground. Patrick grabs Abby's arm as the others run. Anita also admits she is admires Fabian's bravery, but asks why he is risking his life. Fabian tells her that she never cared about him and that throughout their relationship, she was always manipulating him, and had sex with Patrick. Anita takes a moment and shakes her head, telling him its not true. She did love him and still does. She admits Patrick as a mistake and that she was angry with Fabian for even leaving on his mission without even telling her. Fabian tells her he had to leave. Anita understands why but he did. Her voice is now quiet and further admits she was wrong to have treated him so badly. She doesn't agree with how Michael treated him either, saying that even she has felt Michael's wrath over her failure in Millaries. She then tells Fabian that she told Michael about capturing Fabian. Anita suggested to Michael that Fabian could help her take the Bronze Kingdom and to kill Abraham. Fabian listens as Anita tells Fabian that if he helps her, Michael will grant him a kingship. Fabian tells her he isn't buying it. Anita confirms its the truth, and that Fabian is a Kemiya, not a chef. And that it was in fact Aurora's fault that he was captured in the first place. Fabian is stunned as he looks down the hallway, but back at Anita, thinking. Anita smiles, asking if he can really trust people who sell him out just because he was only doing his job. Anita walks towards Fabian, but Fabian warns her to stay back. Anita stops and tells Fabian to think about what she said. Fabian then turns and starts to run after the others

Abby and the others are running down the hallway and come to the door but Patrick stops her. Abby asks what's going on but Patrick tells her he can sense Kemiya's on the other side of the door. Abby steps back and runs down another hallway. Abraham asks where this one goes to, but Abby tells him it leads to the river. The gang come to a huge underground cavern. They head down the steps, seeing a boat by a dock. They run to the boat but Aurora looks back, asking if they should wait for Fabian. Abraham asks if she's crazy but Aurora tells him they can't leave without him. Abraham grabs her arm but Aurora tries to fight him off. Anita then jumps down from another doorway, followed by some of the Kemiya guards. Abraham tells Aurora to get to the boat then calls for Patrick. Anita swings at Abraham, with the two clashing swords. Patrick joins the fray as Anita is forced to fight them both off. Abby and Riley also jump out and take on the Kemiya guards. Aurora looks at the doorway, but then sees a Kemiya come at her. She uses her power to push him into the river. She forms a ball of fire and throws it at another Kemiya. Anita is forced on the defence but she is still only just able to keep up with Abraham and Patrick. Both men start to synchronise their attacks. Patrick then cuts Anita on her thigh, followed by a kick to her chest, landing her on her back. Both point their swords at her. Abraham shouts to the guards, ordering them to stand down, or he'll kill Anita. The guards take a moment but Anita looks at Abraham and smirks. A sword strikes the roof of the cavern over Abraham and Patrick's head. Both of them dive out of the way, as does Anita. Fabian jumps down and lands next to Anita. Abraham stands and shouts to Fabian, telling him he should have known better. Aurora is also stunned telling Fabian that she thought she had changed. Fabian replies that he has changed. He charges at Abraham while Anita takes on Patrick.

Riley, Abby and Aurora are busy dealing with the other Kemiya guards. Aurora uses her power to pull some water from the river, making a small wave and using it to knock over a few of the Kemiya's, drenching them. She then looks up and raises her hand causing pieces of the roof to break off. She throws her hand down, making some of the rock pieces hit the Kemiya's on the head, knocking them out. Abby takes on two Kemiya. She cuts on across his chest then turns and stabs another one in the gut then grabs him and throws him into the first man. Riley punches down one Kemiya then turns her body in mid air as one Kemiya swipes at her head, while the other swipes at her legs. She jumps and kicks them both away. Fabian is hitting hard at Abraham but Abraham blocks him and locks his blade with Fabian. Fabian is glad he's got the chance to fight Abraham. Abraham admits he too feels glad but Fabian head butts Abraham and then cuts him on his right side. Abraham stumbles back but Fabian keeps on attacking, scoring a few more hits but they are only light cuts. Abraham tries to go on the attack. Patrick meanwhile is keeping up a strong defence but is throwing out the occasional counter attack, keeping Anita on her toes. Anita makes a hard swing, knocking Patrick back but they too lock up. Anita asks Patrick to remember the casino. Patrick smirks, remembering the look on Fabian's face. Patrick suddenly leans in and kisses Anita. Fabian notices this but is rewarded with a cut on his upper chest. Patrick then grabs Anita and throws her into Fabian. Anita gets to her feet but is met by Abraham who attacks her. Fabian also gets up then attacks Patrick. Fabian attacks hard, telling Patrick to never touch her again. Patrick laughs asking if Fabian really means it, considering what happened last time. Fabian gets even more enraged but Patrick sidesteps Fabian and cuts his right side then on the back of his thigh, causing him to fall over. Fabian tries to get up but Patrick's sword is pointed at him. Anita meanwhile is attacking Abraham hard then kicks him on his injured side. She then starts to batter Abraham down. She then cuts him across his right thigh, causing him to fall to his knees. Patrick looks up then shouts to Anita to let Abraham go, or he'll kill Fabian. Riley and the others have taken care of their side of things and look to see the stalemate. Abraham is breathing deep with Anita's sword poised to strike. Fabian suddenly kicks Patrick's sword away and rolls away.

Anita moves in for the kill…but Abraham reaches up and grabs her wrist. Anita is stunned. Even Patrick and Fabian stop fighting for a moment as Patrick asks what is happening to Abraham.  Abraham raises his head, revealing black eyes. He quickly stands and swings at Anita, who barely manages to avoid getting her head taken off. Abraham starts to laugh as he rushes at Anita but Anita blocks as hard as she can before being pushed off. Fabian rushes to Abraham and swings at him but Abraham turns and swings at Fabian, knocking him off as well. Patrick looks to the doorway, seeing more Kemiya's arrive. He tells the others to get to the boat. Even some of the beaten Kemiya get back to their feet, injured but not dead. Abraham continues to dominate both Anita and Fabian. Anita and Fabian both back off, each getting a few extra cuts and scrapes. Patrick can only watch as the other Kemiya's surround him. Abraham looks around then laughs, telling all the Kemiya he is going to kill them all. He begins to unleash his spiritual power, making the ground itself shake. Even Patrick has a hard time standing before Abraham unleashes a blast, knocking everyone off their feet. Patrick hits the ground with only Abraham still standing. Patrick looks up seeing Abraham standing over him. Patrick tells Abraham to stop and think. Abraham raises his sword over his head and brings it down. Aurora shouts to Abraham causing his blade to stop, mere inches from Patrick's head. His hands begin to shake as does his whole body. Abraham leans back, holding his head, stumbling around, his sword swinging wildly. He shouts loudly, the inky blackness leaving his eyes. Abraham crashes to his knees, breathing heavy. Abraham takes a moment before he looks up, asking Patrick what happened. Patrick doesn't answer as he pulls Abraham to his feet, but Anita, now standing, asks where they think they are going. Abby jumps out of the boat as Patrick prepares to continue the fight. Abby is running towards Patrick and Abraham, before a long sword comes crashing down between Patrick and Anita.

Abby looks up, seeing Joseph. Joseph jumps down, standing in front of Patrick. He tells Patrick and Abby to leave. Patrick takes a moment before he helps Abraham towards the boat. Joseph forms a Bronze barrier and pushes it towards Anita and Fabian, both of whom dive out of the way to avoid the barrier. Joseph forms another one and pushes it towards Anita, which succeeds in knocking her over while Joseph goes after Fabian. Patrick and Abby help Abraham into the boat, with Aurora and Riley taking him on. Abby is about to turn but Patrick grabs her arm, telling her she can't help him. Abby protests but Patrick tells her Joseph knows he's a dead man, either in this fight, or afterwards and further reminds her she's the only royal family member left. Abby looks to Joseph as he fights on, tears in her eyes. She gets unto the boat, with Patrick telling Riley to get the boat moving. She stands at the wheel and hits the throttle. Anita gets back to her feet and sees the boat pulling away. Abraham manages to get back to his feet, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. His eyes then widen. He looks down seeing a sword coming through his body. Patrick turns to see Anita's sword being quickly retracted. Abraham falls forwards before Patrick catches him. He cradles Abraham in his arms, then yells at Aurora to get a potion. Aurora scrambles through her bag, finding only a half vial. Patrick snatches it and opens it, quickly pouring it down Abraham's throat. Abraham coughs as he then swallows it. Aurora tells Patrick is may not be enough. Patrick tells her to shut up and think positive, that Abraham will be ok. Aurora isn't entirely convinced by Patrick's words. Abby can only watch his horror as Riley drives the boat out of the tunnel and into the open water of the Corsair Sea. Abby sits down weeping, saying that not only has she lost her father and brother, but the Kingdom. All on the boat are very much demoralized. Patrick tells Riley to head out to the shipping lanes.

Anita smiles as she sees blood on her sword. She then turns to Joseph and closes her hand, making Joseph's collar shrink, causing him to fall to his knees, gasping for air. Fabian then kicks Joseph in the face as Anita brings him near to death before releasing the collar. Joseph gasps for air as Anita stands over him. She leans down, telling Joseph he is going to severely punished for trying to help Abraham. Joseph says he doesn't care anymore as he redeemed himself. Anita smiles and shows him the blood on his sword and tells Joseph that it was in vain. Anita walks off but raises her hand, making Joseph's collar move with her, pulling Joseph to his feet. Fabian takes a moment, sighing as he looks down the tunnel. Aurora also looks back at the tunnel entrance. Fabian lowers his head before he walks off. Both of them return to the throne room. Carlos is there and asks what happened. Anita tells Carlos to order his servants to draw up two baths. Carlos takes a moment before he walks off. Anita turns to Fabian, telling him what a day it is. Fabian isn't so sure. Anita walks to Fabian, placing a hand on his cheek and places a kiss on his lips. She apologises for what she did, and swears she will make it up to Fabian, and that he proved to still be the man she loved and still does. Fabian takes Anita's hand. Anita further states that she will contact Michael and tell him the good news. That they, together, conquered the Bronze Kingdom

#### **Quotes**

**Anita**: "Is the palace secure?"

**Carlos:** "It is. Was this your plan all along?"

**Anita:** "Admittedly no. I wasn't sure what my plan was as the last few times I planned something, it didn't work out. I merely wanted to see if an opportunity presented itself. I could tell Joseph was frustrated and decided to use it to my advantage"

**Carlos:** "So our plan worked"

**Anita**: "Our...plan?"

(Carlos takes a moment before bowing his head slightly)

**Anita:** "Why did you turn against your country?"

**Carlos:** "The Bronze Kingdom has been weak for years. I know the Gold Empire is strong. I could tell which direction the wind was blowing"

**Anita:** "Do you know where Abraham is?"

**Carlos:** "I do not, nor do I know where the Bronze Princess is"

**Anita**: "No matter. We have the Witch and he'll come back for her. And since Fabian is in the city, its time we addressed that little issue. Send an invitation in the name of the Bronze King"

**Carlos**: "Of course"

**Hallie:** "Don't worry about Tuesdays. They are usually pretty dead. Gives us time to slip out if needs be"

**Fabian:** "Oh...cheeky"

(They come to the front doors of the restaurant, seeing a letter between the doors. Fabian takes it and opens it, reading)

**Fabian:** "Dear Fabian. The Bronze King has heard of your amazing cooking skills and has invited you to personally cook for him"

**Hallie:** "Oh dear god this is unreal!"

(Hallie hugs Fabian tightly and kisses his lips)

**Hallie:** "This is our chance!"

**Fabian:** "It seems to be!"

(Hallie opens the restaurant doors)

**Fabian**: "Good news is that I don't have to be there until 2:00pm"

**Anita:** "Terrible isn't it? That could be you, you know?"

**Aurora:** "You're a monster!"

**Anita:** "I'm actually glad you're here actually, since I don't know where Abraham is"

**Aurora**: "And I'm not telling you a thing!"

**Anita**: "Oh I know you won't, but you don't have to. He'll come back for you, once he realises something is wrong"

**Aurora:** "He will"

**Anita:** "But where is the Wolf?"

**Aurora:** "I don't know"

**Anita:** "Huh...what to try that again? I'll find her eventually. And put her down like the dog she is"

(Aurora grabs the bars)

**Aurora**: "Shut up!"

**Anita**: "Get comfy...witch"

**Patrick:** "God damn it Abe!"

(Abraham steps back quickly)

**Abraham:** " I'm...I'm sorry"

(Abraham reforms his sword and turns to walk away. Abby is about to step forward)

**Patrick:** "Leave him be. He just needs some time"

**Abby**: "What was that?"

**Patrick:** "I'm not sure. I think sometimes, his anger gets the better of him"

**Abby:** "That could be handy. As long as he can control it"

(Patrick sits down with Abby sitting next to him)

**Abby:** "So what is your story? How did you both meet?"

**Patrick:** "The day he escaped the Gold Prison, he saved my life. Riley...Aurora. We all owe him"

**Abby**: "So that's why you're helping him?"

**Patrick:** "That...and he made me a promise"

**Abby:** "Which is?"

**Patrick:** "Can't tell"

**Abby:** "Ah, the Kemiya honour"

**Patrick:** "What about you? Got to love being royalty?"

**Abby**: "You'd think so, but no. I'm constantly under watch, being followed all the time. The cage matches is the only time I ever feel free"

**Patrick:** "I'm surprised no other Kemiya have figured out its you, considering you don't really have Spiritual power"

**Abby**: "They all think I'm just keeping it suppressed"

**Patrick:** "I take it you don't feel the thrill of the fight like we do?"

**Abby**: "I don't, at least not to the same extent"

(Patrick then stands and forms his sword)

**Patrick:** "Fancy a go?"

**Hallie**: "I still can't believe this is actually happening"

**Fabian:** "Get off my arm. We're meant to be professionals here"

**Hallie:** Right...sorry"

(Both approach the throne and wait. Fabian looks around, as does Hallie"

**Hallie:** "Maybe he's late?"

(Fabian takes a moment to sense the area, then his eyes widen)

**Fabian:** "Run!"

**Hallie**: "What?"

(Fabian forms his sword)

**Fabian:** "Run!"

(Hallie turns and starts to run, but a chain catches her ankle. Fabian rushes to her, but two chains catch his wrists. Hallie is grabbed by one of the guards)

**Fabian:** "Let her go!"

**Anita:** "Calm down Fabian"

**Fabian:** "Anita! What are you doing here?!"

**Anita: "**Isn't it obvious? I'm doing...your job"

**Fabian:** "At least let her go"

(Anita looks at Hallie for a moment)

**Anita:** "She is a cute one. Just to let you know, I'm Fabian's Ex"

(Hallie is about to speak but Fabian speaks first)

**Fabian:** "Just let her go and I won't resist"

(Anita sighs)

**Anita:** "Fine. She's nothing to me. Let her go"

(Hallie is released. She looks to Fabian)

**Fabian**: "Go"

(Hallie wipes a tear from her eye as she runs towards the doors)

**Anita:** "Take him downstairs"

(The guards take Fabian from the room, down a set of stairs, into a darker area. They bring him to a cell and throw him inside and lock the door. Fabian looks up seeing a pair of boots in front of him. He looks up seeing Aurora)

**Aurora:** "Fabian? What are you doing here?!"

**Abby:** "Fix one up for me would you?"

(Patrick pours out another glass and slides it to her)

**Abby:** "Where is Abraham?"

**Patrick:** "Still outside, training"

(Abby takes the glass and raises it with Patrick as they both take a drink)

**Abby:** "To be honest I am a little surprised you'd stick around with Abraham, even if he did save your life. You seem very much like a loner time"

**Patrick:** "Most Kemiya's are loners"

(Abby takes out her phone and makes a call)

**Patrick:** "Who you calling?"

**Abby:** "The Palace. I want to check in, see how Dad and the others are doing"

(Patrick nods as he takes another drink, but notices Abby isn't getting an answer. She tries again)

**Patrick**: "Something wrong?"

**Abby:** "Yeah, no answer...and...still nothing"

**Patrick:** "Is that unusual?"

**Abby**: "First time, not really. Second time, definitely. I'm going to call my brother"

(Abby dials a different number and again, gets no answer)

**Abby:** "This is getting strange"

(Abby places a third call)

**Abby:** "I'm going to call one of the guards"

(Abby again waits but gets no answer)

**Abby:** "Something is wrong"

(Patrick then gets a call)

**Patrick:** "Maybe someone is...calling me. Its Riley. Hello?"

**Riley:** "Patrick. Aurora isn't answering her phone"

**Patrick:** "Is she not at the hotel?"

**Riley:** "I've checked, she's not there. I've called her 4 times with no answer"

**Patrick:** Abby called her Father and brother and they aren't picking up either"

**Riley**: "Something is wrong"

**Patrick:** Find somewhere to lay low. And don't go back to the hotel"

(Patrick hangs up)

**Patrick:** "Aurora is missing"

**Abby:** "I'm going back to the city"

**Patrick:** "We'll come with you"

**Abby:** "You need to stay here and train"

**Patrick**: "And you may need some help"

**Abraham:** "What's going on guys?"

**Aurora:** "What are you doing in here?"

**Fabian:** "Anita threw me in here after she found out I was town. How she found out? I wish to hell I knew"

(Aurora lowers her head for a moment but Fabian sits down on one of the beds. He looks to Aurora)

**Fabian:** "You can relax. I'm not going to hurt you"

**Aurora:** "Sorry if I don't take you at your word"

**Fabian:** "I'm no threat to you anymore. Michael abandoned me and Anita threw me in here. I owe allegiance to no one"

**Aurora:** "Maybe not, but I'm going to need more than that"

**Fabian:** "What. exactly have I done wrong? Besides do my job? Yes, I Imprisoned Boris in Lessia, and even hurt some of my own men, but I've never taken an innocent life. I even helped you in Saint Marina"

**Aurora:** "You did that for your own revenge, just like when you killed Frances"

**Fabian:** "That...wasn't just for revenge. And even that time was the second time I saved your life"

(Aurora takes a moment as Fabian speaks on)

**Fabian:** "You've no idea what its been like for me. Once we're trained up...we're free. Me? I was forced into helping Michael as he is a few steps stronger than I am"

**Aurora:** "So we've all got a sad story to tell. Like me, being enslaved to a man who held my father's soul in his possession to control me"

**Fabian:** That...that's harsh. At least now you're free"

**Aurora:** "Thanks to Abraham"

**Fabian:** "And in the few seconds we're talked, I haven't even asked where Abraham is"

**Aurora**: "True. But if you did, and if I knew, I wouldn't tell you"

(Fabian gives a gentle smile)

**Fabian:** "You're no push over. You from Barcelona?"

**Aurora:** "Yeah"

**Fabian:** "Can't imagine this was the home coming you wanted"

(Aurora gives a gentle laugh)

**Aurora:** "No"

(Aurora stands and walks to the door and focuses on the lock)

**Fabian:** "What are you doing?"

**Aurora**: "Quiet"

(Aurora struggles, her head shaking as she tries to open the door but she stops, and sighs. Fabian stands and takes her hand)

**Fabian:** "Channel my power. It's not much but it may help"

**Aurora**: "I've never done that before, and how do you know about it?"

**Fabian:** "Lets just say I know what Witches can do. I can show you"

**Abby:** "Seems the palace is on high alert. Lot of lights around"

**Abraham:** "Is there another way in?"

**Abby:** "There is."

(Patrick forms his sword and turns but sees Riley)

**Patrick:** "Jesus christ you gave me a heart attack. Are you crazy?"

**Riley:** Admittedly, not my best move"

**Abraham:** "You got anything?"

**Riley**: "I literally only just arrived"

**Abby**: "Joseph!"

**Joseph**: "Abby!"

(Abby rushes to the cage, her hands grabbing Joseph's)

**Abby:** "What happened?"

**Joseph:** "Its all my fault"

**Abby:** "What is?"

**Joseph:** "This! I...I overthrew father. I had him arrested and locked in the cells...then Anita betrayed me. And locked me here...as her slave"

(Abby steps back, a look of shock on her face)

**Abby:** "Is...Dad...alive?"

**Joseph**: "I'm...not sure. But if he is, he'll be in the cells"

(Abby forms her sword but Patrick in front of her)

**Patrick:** "We don't have time for this Abby. Chances are someone already knows we're here"

**Joseph:** "He's right. You need to go"

**Riley:** "Shouldn't we at least free him?"

**Joseph:** "No. I deserve this. I deserve to be locked in here"

(Patrick rolls his eyes)

**Patrick:** "Oh stop with the Kemiya pride crap and help us save the kingdom!"

J**oseph:** "You're wasting time!"

(Abby nods as walks out of the room and into the hall. Patrick chases after her)

**Patrick:** "Can you stop and think for a minute?"

**Abby:** "My country is under threat...because of him!"

**Patrick:** "But we have a friend at stake as well and we need to do this...right"

(Abby is angry but she takes a moment, nodding as the others step out into the hall)

**Abraham:** "Which way to the cells?"

**Abby:** "This way"

(Aurora is holding Fabian's hand as she struggles to get the lock open before she finally hears the click. Her eyes widen in shock)

**Aurora:** "I did it!"

(Aurora smiles and turns, throwing herself into Fabian's arms. Fabian hugs her but then takes a moment as Aurora steps back, the two of them seemingly rather close for a moment before Aurora steps back, clearing her throat)

**Aurora:** "We um...we should get out of here"

(Aurora opens the cell door. Fabian follows then takes a breath as he feels his power return. Aurora walks down the hall coming to a corner. Fabian forms his sword)

**Fabian:** Someone is coming"

(Fabian steps in front of Aurora then steps out seeing Abraham. Abraham is stunned for a moment but he raises his sword before Aurora steps out)

**Aurora:** "Stop!"

**Riley:** "Aurora!"

(Riley jumps and hugs Aurora)

**Patrick:** "What is he doing here?!"

**Aurora:** "Anita threw him in the cell with me. And he helped me escape"

(Fabian reforms his sword)

**Fabian:** "We're now both enemies of Anita"

(Abraham looks at Fabian)

**Patrick:** "Ok, lets sort this out later, for now...lets go"

**Abby:** "I am going to kill that bitch"

**Anita:** "I'll take you up on that one if you want"

(All eyes turn to see Anita, with several Kemiya guards behind her. Anita forms her sword but Fabian holds his arm out)

**Abby:** "What are you doing?"

**Fabian:** "You need to get out of here. I'll deal with Anita"

(Abraham looks to Fabian and nods)

**Abraham:** "You got guts pal. He's right. We're not on favourable ground"

(Patrick grabs Abby's arm)

**Patrick:** Let's go"

(Everyone runs down the hallway)

**Anita:** "I'll admit, you do have some guts Fabian. But why risk your life for them?"

**Fabian:** "You never cared for me. Even when we were together you are always manipulating me. I just couldn't see it until now...and you had sex with Patrick"

**Anita:** "That's not true. While...I...did sleep with Patrick...I did care about you. Patrick was a mistake but I do love you Fabian and...I guess I was angry that you left on your mission without saying a word to me"

**Fabian**: "I had to leave"

**Anita:** "I understand that now. I'm sorry if you feel I mistreated you. And I don't like how Michael did so either. Even I've felt his wrath over what happened in Millaries"

(Fabian listens)

**Anita:** "I told him about capturing you but...you can help me Fabian. We can take the Bronze Kingdom...together and kill Abraham. If you help me, Michael will grant you a kingship"

**Fabian:** "I don't believe you"

**Anita:** "Fabian...you're a Kemiya...not a chef. And its was actually the witch who told us where you were"

(Fabian's eyes widen then he looks down the hall then back at Anita)

**Fabian:** "What?"

**Anita:** "Can you really trust people who sold you out so easily?"

(Anita steps forward)

**Fabian:** "Stay back!"

(Fabian turns and runs down the hallway)

**Aurora:** "What about Fabian?"

**Abraham:** "We can't wait for him!"

**Aurora:** "He's basically giving his life for us"

**Abraham:** "Exactly so we need to honour that request!"

(Abraham grabs her arm. Abraham then sees Anita jump down into the cavern)

**Abraham:** "Get to the boat"

**Abraham:** "I should have known better!"

**Aurora:** "I thought you had changed!"

**Fabian**: "I have changed!"

**Abraham:** "Well this is quite a predicament Abraham. You should be doing better"

**Anita:** "No way"

**Abraham:** "Oh yes way deary. Say hello to darkness!"

**Abby:** "Joseph!"

**Joseph:** "Go Abby. Get out of here! I'll hold them off!"

(Patrick helps Abraham into the boat as does Abby. She turns but Patrick grabs her arm)

**Patrick:** "You can't help him!"

**Abby:** "Yes I can!"

**Patrick:** "He knows he's a dead man, either in this fight or later down the line. You're the last Royal alive now!"

(Abby clenches her fist, tears in her eyes as she gets onto the boat)

**Anita:** "You're going to be punished, severely for this boy"

**Joseph:** "Do your worst. I don't care. I have redeemed myself"

(Anita smiles, showing blood on her sword)

**Anita**: "Seems it was all for nothing"

**Carlos:** "What happened"

**Anita:** "Carlos, tell the servants to draw up two baths"

(Carlos takes a moment and bows before he walks out. Anita smiles and turns to Fabian)

**Anita**: "We did it. Oh this is such a great day!"

**Fabian:** "Are you sure?"

(Anita walks to Fabian, placing a hand on his cheek before kissing his lips)

**Anita:** "I'm sorry for what I did, but I'm going to make it up to you. You proved to be the man I loved and still do love"

(Fabian takes her hand)

**Anita:** "I'll let Michael know what happened. That Abraham is dead...and we conquered the Bronze Kingdom
