[Neon_Chaos]

You arrive at Blackness Castle, the stronghold of the followers of Kane. Everyone is led into the castle, and brought to the central court to meet Johan.

As you pass through the halls of the castle, you notice people whispering to each other. They have not seen outsiders in the longest time.

Upon reaching the central court, the lead knight announces his return to a man sitting on a wooden throne.

Knight: "Johan, we have captured these outsiders by the outskirts of the castle grounds."

Johan simply motions for Eden Sinclair to come forward.

Johan: "Eden, it's been a long time. What brings you to Blackness? Tired of your cannibal friends?"

Eden: "Far from it. These men have come looking for you. They're... not of the north."

Johan's expression changes from placidity to concern. He commands everyone to leave the court, save for a few knights.

Johan: "From beyond the wall. I see. What brings you to Scotland?"

Sonic Youth replies.

Sonic Youth: "We've come to seek Kane. The reaper virus has evolved. We need your help, for a cure."

Eden: "And since Kane's dead, you're the only other person I know who knew as much as he did."

Johan: "A cure, you say? You came all the way here to find something that I know nothing of."

Eden: "You knew about Kane's research."

Johan: "Research that went nowhere! There is no cure..."

Eden: "You promised me once... if there was anything you could do."

Johan: "That was a long time ago."

Eden: "I expect you to keep your word... King of Blackness."

Johan remains silent. He thinks for a while, and smiles.

Johan: "There might be a way. Of course, you're going to have to fight for it."

Sonic Youth: "Fight for it?"

Johan: "You must engage in mortal combat with the Executioners. It is the way of Blackness. If I recall, Eden, you were the one who bested the greatest executioner in the history of Blackness."

Eden: "I did what I had to do."

Johan: "It is settled, then! Two of you, against two of the finest executioners in Blackness... for my help!"

Eden: "Fine. I suppose we should get this over with.

[Several hours later.]

Eden Sinclair and Sonic Youth are tasked to fight the executioners, while everyone is placed under lock-and-key in the Castle's Keep.

Given only flails, the two of them hardly stand a chance against fully-armored Knights. But Sonic Youth's and Eden's military training pay off well, keeping the fight close.

Sonic Youth deftly dodges blow after succeeding blow. He runs at one of the knights and uses his flail's chain to strangle him, his throat being the only exposed area. The knight succumbs and soon suffocates. Sonic Youth raises his flail in victory, only for his head to be bashed in with a morningstar by the other executioner, who had temporarily knocked Eden back.

The crowd cheers as Sonic Youth's brains splatter all over the muddy ground. His body slumps to the ground.

The executioner turns his attention back to Sinclair, and they circle each other. As the executioner swings away with his weapon, Sinclair rolls away. With impeccable timing, she whips out a broken arrowhead and jabs it into the executioner's throat. He staggers, and soon falls dead.

Sinclair turns toward Johan.

Sinclair: "Fun's over. Time to keep your word."

SONIC YOUTH HAS BEEN LYNCHED!
