"I bet. It's a good thing I don't have the Undead Queen Dragon Cynder yet. She'd be pitching a fit right about now," Alex said with a small tone of humor. "I'm glad to hear that the town still has a good history with dragons and hopefully this..." and at that he swept his hands to indicate the gym in front of him, "doesn't put a strain on that. We should get going though. Everyone ready?" He asked.

" I hope not either. I fear that we may be attacked because Bryce violated a treaty that was made 200 years ago."

"A treaty?" Alex asked out of curiosity. He saw Taylor and Carly also starting to listen in on the conversation. He knew that they were stalling, but he didn't mind all that much.

" I don't know much about it really , all I know is from the stories as a child. " Tracy said . " I'm ready to go inside once you are." She said .

"Alright. What about you Carly, Taylor?" He asked, as he turned towards them both.

" I'm ready."Taylor said.

"Same here," Carly replied.

" I should warn you that Bryce has a short temper. Just be careful." Tracy said.

"Is that why he sent those archers after you?" Alex asked before opening the door. This was it, it would now be all or nothing.

Tracy nodded her head sadly.

" How may I help you ?" A female trainer with short blond hair and brown eyes asked. She noticed Tracy had been captured, feeling sad that now they wouldn't get the help they needed.

He winced lightly as she nodded at that. Good going idiot, make her cry while you're at it he thought to himself before he heard the receptionist ask how she could help. "If possible, I'd like to talk to Bryce. Is he in?" Alex asked.

" He is actually. Would you like me to tell him you are here with prisoners?" Lena hated this part of the job. the sooner Bryce was gone the better.

Alex saw the receptionist grimace lightly as she answered the question although he didn't say anything about it. "Please," he said.

Lena told Bryce that there were more prisoners." He says to come right in." She said.

Alex headed inside with the others nearby. He placed a reassuring hand on Tracy's shoulder before heading into the lion's den.

Bryce sat at his desk gloating. He was glad that someone had caught Tracy. Now he knew the other trainers wouldn't try to stop him. He was also glad there would be more for his army to take over this region.

Alex walked in confidently, taking his hand off of Tracy's shoulder before going in. He knew that the other three were going to follow him, Angelus' Bishiball ready to be thrown at a moment's notice.

" You must be the trainer that captured the traitor." Bryce said. He was a little over 5 ft 6inches and had a muscular build. He also had black hair and brown eyes. " And I see you brought some others. What is your name by the way?" He asked.

"I heard rumors about her being a traitor, but I wasn't sure. That's why I brought her here," he said as he held out his hand. My name is Alex," Alex said.

"Very nice to meet you Alex ." Bryce took Alex's hand and shook it. " Would you like a tour of my Gym?"

Alex shook Bryce's hand as he agreed to the tour of the gym. However, what he really wanted to do was punch Bryce straight in the face, but it wouldn't have been nearly as satisfying as getting Bryce's trust and then destroying it.

" We will have to leave the prisoners here though. I promise they won't be able to escape ."Bryce said gleefully .

Alex looked at Bryce for a few seconds before nodding. "You sure they won't escape, and nothing will happen to them?" he asked in his calm voice.

"I'm sure of it. Or they can come along with us. That way they will see where they will be staying."

Tracy paled at the suggestion, not liking the idea of what Bryce had in mind. She had seen the prisons before and would not like to be in them.
