I was in the middle of my training with Asher and Ruff-Ruff when there was an announcement over the intercom, “Would Agent Silver and Agent Purple please come to the main conference room for your assignment. Again Agent Silver and Agent Purple please come to the main conference room for your assignment. That is all.”

I exchanged a look with Asher. “I wonder what this is all about?”

Asher shrugged. “I have no idea.”

We headed over to the main conference room and when we got there Patty had us take our seats.

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“Well it seems that the higher ups have gotten wind of Abigail being captured by Dr. Crow finally,” Patty replied.

“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” I asked.

“Surprisingly it’s actually a good thing,” said Patty. “I guess they wanted Simon to be under cover on the assignment he’s been out on to gather information of Abigail’s whereabouts. And once the higher ups figured out she had been captured they wanted to send a team of agents in to retrieve her.”

I pretty much rolled my eyes at how long it took Patty’s bosses to figure out that Abigail had been captured by Dr. Crow. “Well gee it took them long enough to figure it out! You know after almost a year of her being missing! Boy they’re a little slow!”

Patty chuckled, “Yeah I did decide to keep it a secret and I figured they would find out sooner or later. It just so happened that they found out later. Anyway, you and Asher have been picked for this job and why does that not surprise me? Oh and another thing, since this is involving Dr. Crow, they’re pulling the trigger and giving us the go ahead to capture him now!”

My jaw dropped. “Seriously? Then why aren’t there any more agents besides me and Asher going?”

Patty shook her head. “I have no idea. I’m assuming that since this is going to be a big take down then they might have another team from another department meet you there.”

“Okay exactly where are we going?” Asher asked.

“Shaw Castle,” replied Patty. “It seems that’s where Dr. Crow’s home base is at the moment.”

“So what’s the plan?” Asher asked.

Patty turned to the computer behind her and turned on the projector screen. She pressed a button on it and it showed a blueprint of Shaw Castle. “As you can see, there’s fourteen different exits and entrances to the place. The higher ups have instructed me to tell you both to go to this exit here.” She pointed at an exit on the screen that looked like it was an underground tunnel. “I know what you’re thinking and yes it's an underground tunnel. This is the very tunnel that leads to the dungeons that Dr. Crow might be holding Abigail in. Although knowing him, he might’ve moved her someplace else to keep her away from us.”

I nodded. “You’re right he did move her someplace else.”

Patty gave me a perplexed look. “Oh? And how do you know this information?”

“Remember my ghost seeing abilities?” I said.

“Yes, why?” Patty replied.

“Well I was able to do it again but this time it happened randomly and I saw that Dr. Crow had her in a room and it was a dungeon,” I explained. “Not to mention I found out some other news. Remember how you told me that both men and women can get pregnant if they’re a Diamond?”

Patty nodded and her eyes went wide. “You don’t mean to tell me-“

I shook my head. “Oh no, it’s not Abigail that’s pregnant.”

Patty let out a sigh of relief. I continued, “From what I was able to find out, it’s Dr. Crow that’s pregnant with Abigail’s child!”

“What? Are you serious? Please tell me you’re joking!” Patty gasped.

I sighed, “I wish I could say I was joking but I’m not. So is this going to complicate things?”

Patty shook her head. “Nope! Since Dr. Crow is a Diamond, he's indestructible. But we have our ways of dealing with crooks like him. And not to mention the baby will be indestructible too. Now I want to capture this idiot and make him pay for what he did to my daughter! I have no idea what he’s planning on doing with her in the future but I’m not about to let him put her through anymore bullshit if I got something to say about it!” She looked away and sighed, “There is another issue we’re going to have to deal with when get Abigail back-“

“I know the brainwashing.” I said cutting her off. “I have also found out a way around that.”

Patty gave me a surprised look. “Well aren’t you full of surprises today! What is it?”

I debated for a short second if I should tell Patty about what I found out but in the end I decided not to tell her so I shook my head. “I can’t say because I’m not sure if it’s going to work. Either way I’m getting Abigail back if it’s the last thing I do! I promised her I’d save her and I’m going to fulfill my promise.”

Patty gave me a small smile and nodded. “You know what, true love is very fascinating every time I’ve gotten a chance to witness it! I’m pretty sure if the tables were turned Abigail would feel the same way. Although knowing her she probably would’ve gone against my orders to stand down and gone in head first to save you anyway. At least you have some common sense not to do that. But Abigail has always been a strong willed woman even when she was younger she was that way. Alright that’s all the information I can give you and one more thing…”

I tilted my head. “What?”

“Don’t get your ass captured and don’t even think about surrendering to the enemy just to get to Abigail, do we have an understanding?” Patty said.

I nodded. If anything I was going to get Abigail away from Dr. Crow and there’s no way in hell am I getting myself caught by that bastard if I got something to say about it!

“You’re telling me you want me to go track down Prince Silver with this guy?” I said. I looked over at the guy standing beside me and he looked like some sort of court Jester and he didn’t look happy about this assignment and I don’t blame him because I wasn’t happy about it either.

Dr. Crow nodded. “Oh yes my dear Princess and this guy’s name is Jester Lava. And yes before you ask he used to be a court Jester before I hired him. He’s one of my strongest agents. He’s has certain talents that will for sure make your job a bit easier.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Oh really? And why can’t I just go with Shinjin instead?”

“Because he has-“ Dr. Crow started to say when there was a loud alarm that sounded over the intercom in Dr. Crow’s office.

I saw Shinjin run into the room and he looked frantic. “Uh Dr. Crow we have a situation!”

Dr. Crow’s eyes went wide. “What is it?”

“It looks like a handful of DA’s are trying to get into the castle!” Shinjin said, “I have no idea how many there are though!”

“Oh shit!” Dr. Crow said. “Great, perfect timing! Unless-“ He paused and his look turned from worried and pissed to happy and excited. “You know something Shinjin?”

Shinjin paused and looked just as puzzled as I was. “What?”

“Let them come in!” Dr. Crow laughed. “Cause when you think about it this is the perfect opportunity to capture Prince Silver! Think about it, if there’s a group of DA’s trying to get into the castle then more than likely Prince Silver will be there.” He turned to Jester Lava and smiled wickedly. “Well now Jester Lava looks like you’ll be getting your chance to prove yourself. A change of plans I’m sending you out on the front lines in the underground tunnel that actually goes upstairs to the roof of the castle. I know it’s a strange layout but it was built that way to trick outsiders into thinking this tunnel is an easy way in! Boy are they going to be in for a surprise!” He turned his attention back to me. “And you Princess Black, you’re going with him. This’ll increase our chances of capturing Prince Silver for sure! And don’t worry about me, I’ll just be waiting here until you two bring him to me.”

Dr. Crow started to laugh like a psycho. For whatever the reason that laugh sent chills down my spine and not in a good way. Yeah I think Dr. Crow being pregnant has made him lose his mind! Yup he’s cracked!

He stopped laughing. “Shinjin, you stay here so we can greet Prince Silver once Princess Black and Jester Lava capture him for me.”

Shinjin nodded. “Yes sir.”

Dr. Crow gave me and Jester Lava a dismissive wave and we headed out to the tunnel preparing ourselves to capture Prince Silver. Even though I was happy about the possibility of being able to see him again I didn’t like the idea that Dr. Crow might be able to get his hands on him again.

Instead of just using the brooch that regular DA’s use to transform into their disguise Asher and I used our keys to transform into Prince Silver and Prince Purple Prism.

“Well this is it isn’t it?” Asher asked with a smile.

I nodded. “Let’s hope this is it! I told Abigail I was going to rescue her and I’m doing my best to do that! Unfortunately it came a year too late, but I’m going to get her back now let’s go!”

I didn’t wait for Asher but I knew he was right behind me when we went up to the rooftop of the main building that we were at and started our rooftop traveling. I moved as fast as I could towards Shaw Castle.

{Princess Black}

Jester Lava and I headed over to the tunnel and I frowned when I recognized the dungeon that I had been kept in before Dr. Crow moved me to his bedroom. Even still being stuck in a bigger bedroom was no different than being in a dungeon all day. The only thing is the bedroom had a view of the outside even though there were bars on the windows.

Jester Lava tilted his head when he saw me frowning at the door to the dungeon that I had been kept in for so long. “What’s wrong?”

I shook my head and sighed, “It’s nothing, let’s keep going we’re bound to run into the DA’s sooner or lat-“

I didn’t even get to finish my sentence when I heard two voices rounding the corner from where we were at. My heart almost leapt out of my chest when I heard his voice, “Come one Prince Purple let’s go! The sooner we get to her the better!”

“Yeah, yeah I’m coming!” I heard Prince Purple say with an annoyed tone of voice.

Then I heard another voice that I didn’t recognize. Of course Prince Silver and Prince Purple would have help with them!

“Guys wait, I sense something from around the corner!” The voice said.

Well guess I should greet them! I am the welcome party after all!

Jester Lava stepped out of the shadows before I did. He laughed wickedly, “Well, well, well look at what we have here!”

“Who are you?” Prince Silver growled.

“Oh where are my manners?” Jester Lava said with sarcasm. “My name is Jester Lava! And I’m the welcoming party for you three! Welcome to Shaw Castle! It’s so nice to see you back where you belong!”

I rolled my eyes when I heard Jester Lava say that last line in a sing-song voice.

“Oh and I almost forgot,” said Jester Lava, “I have a special guest with me here to greet you!” He called out, “Oh Princess Black! Would you come here to kindly greet our new guests?”

I finally stepped out of the shadows and Prince Silver's face lit up with joy. I paused when I heard a dog bark three times and then there was a blinding bright light. After the light died down I looked to see a young woman that looked just like me but her clothes were a different color! Her clothes were gray and white and her hair style was the same as mine and her crown on top of her head looked just like mine too!

I had my hand at my side ready to draw my weapon. I snarled at the woman, “Who the hell are you?”

The woman gave me a smug look and said, “I'm you, well I’m the good version of you.”

I narrowed my eyes and hissed, “Excuse me? What was that supposed to mean?”

“Alright let me set you straight Princess!” The woman sneered. “Before Dr. Crow made you think that you had always been Princess Black you used to be someone else. You used to be an agent named Agent Black!”

As soon as the woman said a strange memory flashed before my eyes and I stumbled backward. It was a memory of me fighting in some sort of battle and when I saw what I’m going to assume was a fellow comrade die in front of me I was pissed. I snapped out of the memory and shook my head. “No! It can’t be! You’re lying!”

The woman sighed, “Dr. Crow has you under some sort of-“

“Don’t you dare!” Jester Lava snarled. He turned to me. “Don’t listen to her Princess, she's just trying to get into your head!”

“No I’m-“ The woman paused and then laughed, “Well I guess you’re right I am trying to get into her head! But either way she does need to listen to me.”

I sneered. “And why would I do that?”

“Okay that’s enough!” Prince Silver roared. I looked to see in his hand his weapon that he used in combat and smiled. Prince Silver looked pissed. He slammed his cane on the ground and shouted, “Silver Star tornado!”

I pulled out my blade and spun it in front of me as if I were waving a wand in a huge circle. I shouted, “Dark Saber Shield!”

Out of Prince Silver’s cane came a huge tornado that was made up of stars and a powerful gust of wind. In front of me appeared a huge black shield and I gripped it with my right hand. Well I would protect Jester Lava but if I recall correctly, Dr. Crow did say that this was his chance to prove himself. Not to mention he’s supposed to be one of Dr. Crow’s strongest agents.

After the tornado that Prince Silver created calmed down I looked around and my jaw dropped to see that the tornado had punched a huge hole in the right side of the tunnel and blasted away most of the stairs that lead upstairs to the entrance of the tunnel.

My shock turned into laughter when I saw the attack that Jester Lava used to defend himself. In front of him was a wall of beach balls! That's right a wall of beach balls and I had never seen something so ridiculous in my entire life. When Prince Silver and Prince Purple saw Jester Lava's idea of a defense attack they burst into a fit of laughter.

After Jester Lava popped all of the beach balls he saw us laughing at him and growled, "What is so funny?"

"What type of dumbass defense attack was that?" Prince Silver said, trying to catch his breath because he was still laughing pretty hard.

Jester Lava rolled his eyes but before he could say anything I stopped laughing and snarled at the woman that looked like me again, "I'm going to ask you one last time, who the hell are you?"

The woman looked at me and sighed, "Okay then since you want a formal name you can call me the Princess of Light. As a matter of fact before Dr. Crow brainwashed you, you created me as a stand-in to help protect Prince Silver and Prince Purple Prism!"

I gave her a look of disbelief. "And why on earth would I do that? That sounds so stupid it's not even funny!"

The Princess of Light stepped towards me. "Okay then, I say we have a fight, right here and right now and when I copy every single move you put out you'll see what I'm talking about!"

I stood my ground ready to pull out my blade after I put my shield away. "Oh really? And how on earth would know my moves hmm? Are you some sort of-"

"Let's dance!" Princess of Light said as she rushed me and took a swipe at me with her blade and I blocked it just in time.

"How did you-" I started.

"I do believe you always say to strike the enemy when they're distracted?" Princess of Light said.

"How do you even know what I would say?" I snarled. "Did I train back on the Diamond planet?"

"No that's not it," Princess of Light said as she blocked my next two attacks that I threw at her. It was almost as if she knew exactly what move I was going to put out next because she effortlessly blocked me. But I barely managed to block her moves. "Listen to me!" She roared as she blocked another one of my attacks.

"I don't have to listen to a goddamn thing you say!" I roared back at her.

I almost lost my concentration when I heard Jester Lava say, "Oh well while the Princess is taking care of that pest, I say we do a three way! This will be so much fun just me and the two Princes!"

"Yeah we'll do a three way alright, more like me and Prince Silver kill you and get Agent Black away from you!" Prince Purple Prism growled.

I paused for a second and Princess of Light's blade grazed my ear. I didn't care about the sting from that wound either way, I stumbled back and gave a bewildered look. Agent Black? There's no way that's true! It can't be!

The Princess of Light cocked her head and smiled wickedly. "I told you Princess Black, Dr. Crow brainwashed you! He made you think that you were always Princess Black but that's not the case!"

I charged at the Princess of Light again and I didn't care if Jester Lava was getting his ass handed to him or not. At the moment I just wanted this idiot to shut up and stop telling me that I'm something that I'm not and I never was!

"Come back to me!" Princess of Light shouted as we attacked each other and blocked each other's attacks.

"Again," I said as I bared my teeth at her. "I don't have to listen to a goddamn thing you say! Just shut up already!"

"Come. Back. To me!" Princess of Light snarled. Then she started saying that over and over again. As we continued our fight it started to sound like a chant.

The Princess of Light's chant was starting to get on my nerves so much and what made matters worse I barely managed to block her attacks and I couldn't get a hit on her just yet. While I was too busy concentrating on trying to kill the Princess of Light I didn't see Prince Purple Prism's attack coming from behind me.

"Purple Prism Shards of Glass!" I heard Prince Purple roar. The next thing I knew it felt like I got hit with a dozen different daggers during weapons training all at once. I looked down to see that Prince Purple's attack hit me in my left arm. It wasn't enough to kill me but it did knock the wind out of me.

I sank to my knees in pain but I wasn't about to go down now in the middle of a fight just because I was taken by surprise. I looked over and got another surprise when I saw Jester Lava dead face down in a pool of his own blood.

I looked over to see Prince Silver and at first he had a shocked look on his face but then he smiled and I had no idea why until I heard Prince Purple say, "Sorry Agent Black but we're going to have to knock you out for the ride home."

"But I'm not-" I started to say. I didn't get a chance to finish that thought when I felt another dagger being driven through my back and it was yanked out from my chest. After that, I couldn't stay awake any longer and whatever that attack was knocked me out completely.

{Dr. Crow}

I panicked when I saw on the computer screens as I watched the fight take place between Princess Black and someone that looked just like her. I panicked even more when I saw one of the other Diamond's that was with Prince Silver launch an attack that knocked Princess Black out.

I did have Shinjin leave to go prepare a dungeon for when I captured Prince Silver but I had no idea that things would backfire on me. I ran out of my office as fast as I could and I had almost reached Prince Silver who had Princess Black in his arms when I heard a familiar voice shout, "Stop right there Dr. Crow! Or should I say King Sairia? Or maybe I should rename you King Jackass the King of Nothing?"

I gasped when I turned around and I saw him. I then shook my head thinking that I was seeing things. "King… King Ibee?"

The man standing before me was wearing a dark blue suit and a black tie to go along with it. He didn't look like a regular human but I could tell this was a Diamond that had been transformed into a human and just recently got his original body back. "Uh, King Ibee? Although I guess you could say that was my name back on the Diamond Planet. How I wound up becoming the freaking President of the USA I have no idea! I also want to know how on earth did I wind up with such a ridiculous name? Gusty, seriously? That's the best subname I could come up with? And what is up with the-" King Ibee paused and shook his head. "Nevermind I'll figure this out later!"

"Okay?" I said. "I'm dreaming! Yup that's it, I'm back in my bed sound asleep!"

"Actually I wish I could say I was dreaming myself." King Ibee said. "But it seems that I'm not dreaming. I was alerted to this operation of capturing you and my best DA that you held prisoner for over a year and well here we are! I thought I'd never see you again and with the title of King! Although from what I know of you were the one that destroyed the Diamond Planet so you are the King of Nothing! As a matter of fact you committed the ultimate act of treason! What's even more disturbing is that you're somehow pregnant with my daughter's child!"

He gave me a look of disgust as if he threw up in his mouth after he said that. Then he said the classic line that he taught Princess Black to say every time he trained her to fight, "Enough about that, I think it's time we danced together don't you? So let's dance!"

I rolled my eyes. "I don't have time for this now but if you insist!"

King Ibee lunged at me and threw his first punch that connected with my jaw. I got to my feet, spun around and managed to land a kick on his back sending him falling face first on the ground. When he got to feet I smirked. "A little bit rusty now aren't you?"

King Ibee got to his feet and snarled. "Okay I get it! I haven't been in combat for a while! But that doesn't mean I can't kick your ass!"

"Uh-huh sure you can!" I taunted him.

I ran and lunged at him and before I could land a hit he headbutted me right in the stomach which sent me stumbling backwards. I caught myself before I could fall over and held my stomach. I barely managed to block most of King Ibee's moves and attacks and what surprised me the most is even though he hadn't been in combat for a while he had no problem using a combination of throwing punches and kicks along with his magic.

Although some of his attacks almost caught me off guard because of the ridiculous names for them. I mean, 'Random Black Leaf Storm?' What the hell was this idiot thinking? Either way I was determined to take him down and destroy him. I also wanted to get to Princess Black and make sure she was okay but after seeing the battle that ultimately killed Jester Lava it's safe to say that Princess Black had been captured by Prince Silver and the other two people that were with him.

With his last attack it literally knocked the wind out of me and I could barely move after that. King Ibee smiled a sinister smile and walked up to me. He gripped me by my neck and made me look him in the eye. "You know something Dr. Crow, you're coming with me! Any last words before I throw your ass in jail for the rest of your life?"

I didn't say anything even when he released my throat a little bit just so I could talk. I just glared at him. He shook his head and sneered at me, "Fine then, don't talk to me! This is going to hurt the next time you wake up but it brings me great pleasure to do this so goodnight!"

The next thing I knew King Ibee snapped my neck and everything went dark.
