Grey watched from backstage as the opera singers went about their part; over extending every word with a touch of dramatic movements they attempted to tell a story of the 'barbaric' Ignian soldiers being tamed by the superior Undian Marines. At this point of the story the Undian Marine decides to spare the barbaric commander in hopes he'd see what a wonderful world that they were building.
"What a load of shit..." Grey hissed while grinding his teeth together, "Time to give this people a real show..."
As the Undian Marine held his hand out for the barbaric soldier to take into a 'new' world, Grey suddenly stepped out into the stage. "Whoa, whoa, whoa and WHOA!" His loud voice quickly caught the attention of everyone around them, the musicians even stopped at this disturbance.
"If you sing any slower I think you'll put the audience to sleep!" He stepped out to the middle of the stage with the large lights shining down on him, "But fear not, I come with JOKES!"
The crowd began stirring, everyone watching Grey with a weariness. Which was exactly what he wanted, "Okay, here's a good one: What's a five letter word for somebody who's going to kick your asses?"
A blank stare came from the crowd so Grey held up his fingers and began counting down.
"It's a S.A.I.N.T." When he reach the 'T' and all his fingers were clenched into a fist, the props that were hanging above suddenly snapped up with a burst of nuclear power. The next thing that happened was complete chaos as everyone tried to run.

"Good lord, that whippersnapper is going to kill us all." Sonorc said as he stood up with Kain, adjusting his gold necklaces.
As Sonorc walked passed a portrait of royals, he noticed one of the daughters of a duke of wild Unda. "Heh, she's cute. She reminds me of-" Sonorc started to say, but then he looked at her more closely. Her face, her long hair, her body...
"SAPPHIRE!?!" He shouted as he stumbled back, grabbing his chest. The shock nearly gave him a heart attack. He walked backward into a portrait, and he looked at it fearing he broke it. As he studied it, he knew this face. She was the one at Sapphire's grave, the one she called mother.
20 years earlier.
Sonorc stood at the grave of Sapphire, looking at it. He remember the day because it was snowing, just like his homeland of Ghiaccio. He looked at the grave, sadden not being able to be by her side as she died, the one woman he truly cared about.
"Excuse me?" The young voice said from behind. Sonorc turned and saw a young lady with a bundle of roses in her hands. Sonorc stepped aside as she placed them on the grave.
"Did you know her?" the woman asked Sonorc.
"Yes, briefly, but I couldn't forget her." Sonorc said.
"My mother was said to be unforgettable." the woman said,
Good Lord, she is Sapphire's daughter?! He thought in fear. "Ah, she was your mother. Your father must have been grief stricken." He said, looking at her.
"No... My father was never around." She said saddened.
"Ah, was he in the army or something?"
"No, my mother said he was a Ghiaccio pilgrim and he promised to come back for her once he completed, but he never did."
"Ah... Well he mustn't been a good man then..." Sonorc said, "Well it was nice meeting you Ms.?"
20 years later
"Ki Angelo?" He said in disbelief, "Wait... Angelo..." Sonorc then made the connections in his head, and nearly collapsed, as he leaned on his cane.
Oh gods... It can't be! He thought as he looked up at Kain... his grandson!

"Sonorc," Kain began as he made a double back to grab the older Saint by the arm, "You picked a rotten time for your leg to be acting up. Timing is important, every step we loose is a step they gain."
He began to pull him along as Grey collapsed the stage props, sending a wide spread panic. This was going to work for their advantage: if he predicted correctly Duo was about to send in an army of Imperial forces to retrieve them, but if they were met with a wall of panicking citizens then that would surely slow their movements down.
Kain walked by Everto and Roxa and began to his movement to the large door that led to the Emperor's Balcony. With one swift kick the door flew open, "Saints, stop any and all that get in our way! Yowai is mine..."
The four soldiers quickly drew their blades and rushed right at Kain, hoping to kill the Saint leader.

"Impatient whippersnappers... they don't know how to wait to attack." Sonorc said as he tapped his cane on the ground. It shot 4 streams of ice right towards guards, quickly freezing them solid.
"I'll take care of the guards, you deal with Yowai."

Yowai attempted to flee, running to the far end of the room. But there was no where he could hide, the Saints had this entire area sealed off.
"You..." Kain growled as he approached the quivering man.
"W-Wait, Kain, please-"
"You betrayed me!" Kain yelled as he grabbed the man by his neck, squeezing it tightly, "You said that you would arrange for the rebels to aid us in our efforts, you PROMISED that they'd be there. We could have stopped Duo, Yowai! We could have WON!"
"Instead you choose to side with Duo... what did he give you? No, don't speak..." Kain warned as Yowai began to loose breath from Kain choking him, "I'll see it all..."
Kain looked him in the eyes and began to absorb every memory this sorry little man had, and as he absorbed it all he began to see it...
...And what he saw shocked Kain to the point where he had to break eye contact and move away.
Leaving the Saints in question to what he had seen, all he could do was whisper to himself, "No, that's not possible... how could..."
He stopped before glancing back at the other Saints. The rage on Kain's face was replaced with a look of shock and fear as he whispered to himself:
"He's done it... Duo figured it out."
