Episode 3-3

Soren
(I need to write this Excerpt still)

Kaylen is joined by Soren and Alcia to an abandoned house in the middle of the forest where Vexxis waits for them. Kaylen explains to Alcia what had happened to him, he was the leader of the Eritomoru and was approached by Zade and the Kikono. It was odd to realize his father was alive after all this time. They convinced Kaylen to use the Eritomoru to create civil unrest and thus more people to go to the Launch. However, when he realized it was a ploy to usurp him it was too late. He fled with Vexxis and intends on cleaning up the mess he created... The Eritomoru, his father, and now the Kikono. Kaylen feels responsible for it all.

The group plan out how they will dethrone Zade. The limited information on his whereabouts prove troublesome but ultimately does not stop them from settling on a mission. The vital part of the plan: the Eritomoru don't vigilantly guard the portal hubs. Every night the portals are deactivated and the halls are left vacant. By using Vexxis’s Eritomoru robe as a disguise, Soren will infiltrate their ranks for an evening and reactivate the portals at night.

The plan goes off without a hitch. The group sneaks through the ominous hallways to Kaylen's old quarters and barge into Zade's room. His paraphernalia is laid out and Soren recognizing his praying mat at the end of the bed. It suddenly dons on Soren that something bad has happened. Kaylen carries on with the suspicion and states Zade has mobilized the Eritomoru... something of this magnitude will be catastrophic.

They brainstorm why he would do such a thing. Vexxis suggests they aim to kill Guan Yu which would stabilize Zade as their leader by completing something Kaylen once attempted. They know Guan Yu would never listen to their warnings... but Kaylen gets an idea.

They rush to a dark room filled with holding cells. In a fit of rage, Kaylen claims the cell before them was supposed to be housing Kasuke Yu. But he is gone and Kaylen is clueless why they'd take him. With no recourse, they depart to deliver a warning to Guan Yu.
