Scene — Inside the mansion of Secret Sky City. King Rental sits on his throne, six elders on their chairs, and the messenger standing before them, discussing matters.
Rental: "I have two questions. First, why doesn't Uselia fight on its own? Why seek help from another kingdom?"
Messenger: "Our Chief Minister wants to build a friendship with Secret Sky — that's why."
Elder 5: "But I've heard all kingdoms consider themselves stronger. Why would they need help from this supposedly weaker kingdom?"
Messenger: "Yes, but Secret Sky City is a special case."
Elder 2: "How so? There are many powerful people there."
Messenger (politely): "Sir, you already know all of this — why ask then?"
Rental: "Okay, second question: why should we help your country?"
Messenger: "The Chief Minister wants to form an alliance between Uselia and Secret Sky, as I mentioned before."
Rental (thinking): "Or maybe he just wants to test our power, your CM!"
Rental: "Alright, let me ask the first question again. Even if Secret Sky agrees, why doesn't Uselia fight on its own? Why not ask for help from friendly countries instead?"
Messenger: "We could fight the Tail Foxes, but making the entire Tail Fox army our enemy is not a wise choice. By seeking Secret Sky's help, the Chief Minister wants to establish a friendly relationship between Uselia and Secret Sky."
Elder 6: "King Rental, I think we should discuss this. Should we help them or not?"
Rental: "Hmm. (nods)"
Elder 4: "Messenger, wait. We'll decide and tell you."
Messenger: "Yes, sir."
Scene — The messenger leaves. King Rental and the elders go into a private room to discuss.
Scene — 5 minutes laterBack in the hall, King Rental sits on his throne, six elders on their chairs, and the messenger standing. Silence fills the room.
Rental: "I am ready to provide this help."
Messenger: "Yes! Thank you, King Rental, sirs, elders!"
Elder 3: "We serve those who ask for help. Whoever comes to our protection deserves assistance — nothing more to say."
Elder 2: "As for the alliance, we already maintain relations with all kingdoms. We aim to bring peace to this world."
Messenger: "Thank you, sirs. I understand your decision clearly."
Rental: "Preya will go with you."
Scene — Preya appears — a female Dragon-Noid.
Messenger: "King Rental, our country will never forget your help — but she's only one, and there are thousands of Tail Foxes: the 1-to-8 tails and their leader, the 9 Tail Fox."
Elder: "Messenger, do not underestimate Secret Sky. And regarding the girl — here, there is no difference between girls and boys. Everyone is equal and powerful."
Messenger: "But sir elder—"
Rental: "Alright, I understand. You need our help."
Messenger: "Yes, my king, I do. If you say so, I will return with her to Uselia. (tense)"
Messenger (thinking): "What is happening here? Why am I here? What is going on!?"
Scene — Uselia Contory, Chief Minister's office.
CM sits in his chair; the messenger enters.
Messenger: "Sir CM, this is Ms. Preya from Secret Sky City."
CM: "Oh, nice to meet you. You and your army are here to assist Uselia — thank you."
Preya: "No, I came alone."
CM: "Huh? But—"
Preya: "I am enough by myself. Yes, you may send someone to guide me if needed."
CM: "As you say, Ms. Preya. Mosha will go with you."
Messenger: "Yes, sir."
Scene — Present time, Elia City border wall.
Yatrans stands atop the damaged wall with his golem and robot army. Far ahead, the Tail Fox army waits, led by the slightly injured 9 Tail Fox. Between the two armies, a large crater has formed. Floating above it are Mosha and Preya.
9 Tail Fox: "S…Secret Sky City?!!"
Preya (smirking): "Hmm… looks like this 9 Tail Fox recognizes Secret Sky."
9 Tail Fox (thinking): "Is that monster here too?!!"
Flashback — A cave, five years ago. A boy stands alone, surrounded by unconscious 1-to-8 Tail Foxes on the ground.
Boy (sharp, serious): "Hey, 9 Tail Fox! If you ever think of attacking Secret Sky, I'll kill you. But hey, you can always join Secret Sky if you want — I don't mind."
9 Tail Fox: "! (tense, shocked, horrified)"
Present time
9 Tail Fox (thinking): "Better to leave peacefully than fight against that monster. Losing so many Tail Foxes for one? Too risky."
9 Tail Fox: "I didn't know Lord Precious had a hand in this city. If I had known, I would never have come here. Forgive me! (loud, tense)"
Scene — He bows deeply to Preya, showing his fear and respect. Everyone — Mosha, Yatrans — are shocked by this display.
