Flying towards the city, Leo made a detour to the Scavenger's fort to check on Shia . Arriving, the group of five realized that soldiers were running the show .
"Let me go check on things . If I'm not back in a few minutes, come after me . " Leo wouldn't take any chances since Keysol was taken down .
Leo left the ship and quickly entered the fort . He soon ran past the soldiers and entered the pit . There he found hundreds of workers . Not only were scavengers mining, but people from all over Duat were mining too . Seeing Mule, Leo sent him a mana message to meet him in a tunnel out of the way .
"Leo, it really is you!" Mule said as he ran up to him and hugged him .
"Yes, yes . Calm down . What happened here?"
Mule explained that when Shia took over, many things changed for the better . Even the old scavengers were treated well . Then one day, the Osiris fleet arrived and told Shia that they were no longer in the business to trade with slaves . They captured Shia and left men to enslave the scavengers . Then periodically, more and more people were dropped here to mine ore .
Leo got the gist quickly enough . He brought Mule back with him to the ship and explained the situation to the other four .
"Let us free these people first," Leo said to them . The five of them reacted quickly and killed every soldier in the fort and mere minutes . They then commanded Mule and all the slaves to escape to Ra . Their people would receive them .
Leo sent a message to the scientist to inform Papyrus and the other two to welcome the incoming people . The other five flew towards Osiris . They landed at the entrance of the city . A guard shouted at them, but they ignored him .

"Incapacitate or kill the soldiers . Green Tooth, come with me to the pyramid . " Leo told the four of them . Dark Razor smiled fiendishly . He disappeared first and went on a killing spree . Geph and Sepha went after him .
The three warriors ransacked the city's guards effortlessly . Leo and Green Tooth arrived at the pyramid . A guard about to attack them received a command to bring them to the Pharaoh .
In the throne room, a man with a strong aura looked at the arriving man and beast . He smiled at them and waved for his guards to leave . Green Tooth looked at the man with surprise . "He's a Core Builder . "
"Yes, he is . He's the peggian we met at the ruins of Geb . " Leo responded to Green Tooth and then looked at the Pharaoh . "Aren't you?"
"Hahahaha, good job . I knew I couldn't get anything past you few . "
"Why would you kill all those people?"
"Only those with strength have the right to rule . "
"Is this all your race knows to do?"
"My race? My race is enslaved . Only after being sent here have I regained my freedom . "
"What do you mean?" asked Leo .
"It is not of any importance now . We can be rulers here . Why don't you understand that?"
"All life matters . You would understand if your race was declining and hunted by other races . "
The peggian knew there was nothing he could say to Leo to convince him otherwise . He then sighed and asked Leo, "Join me or surrender your life?"
"What if I choose neither . "
A winged man with a tablet attached to his chest floated into the throne room .
"Keysol . . . " Green Tooth and Leo blurted out at the same time .
Keysol then said something in a voice Leo remembered . "If you don't, we will kill your friend . "
"You're the spirit that was in the tablet," Leo yelled out .
Keysol then smiled and said," Yes, I'm surprised you lived from that . I offer my thanks for freeing me . "
"Back to my question at hand . What is your choice?" asked the Peggian .
Leo could no longer hold back his anger . These two were mad . Leo was about to attack when Green Tooth slammed his back foot into Leo's gut, launching him out of the throne room .
A pattern of mana lit up beneath Leo . In his fury, he didn't sense that a sealing formation activated below them . Green Tooth was frozen in place .
"I guess we only get to kill one of them . " The spirit used Keysol body to step forward, attacking with his sword .
Leo watched as the sword pierced green Tooth's heart . Dark Razor felt a disturbance when he received a message from Leo . "Green Tooth has been fatally wounded . Converge on the palace now!"
The peggian pulled out a mana rifle . "You had your chance . This is my City . I am the ruler of this world . Hahahaha . " He touched a button, and thousands of drones entered the air around the pyramid . "You shall all die for not joining me . "
Thousands of drones surrounded the three speedings towards the pyramid . A force field encased all three of them .
Keysol, being controlled, flew at Leo and attacked him . He drew his mace and blocked the strike . Sparks flew from the clash, and both took a few steps back .
"Why are you helping that, maniac?" asked Leo .
"You humans betrayed me . Now, it is your turn . "
Keysol's sword swung through the air, striking at each one of Leo's vitals . Leo could barely keep up . His skills were meant for defense, and he was losing in this exchange .
While Leo faced off against the spirit of the tomb, the peggian exited the pyramid . He looked at the three captured warriors .
He called out to Geph, "you should have listened to me . " He pointed his rifle at the mermanian . "That human didn't agree to join me, but I'll allow you to decide for yourself . "
"I won't join you . You deranged, man," yelled Geph .
"Hahaha, good . I wanted to kill you, anyways . I, the Pharaoh of Osiris, sentence you to death . " The peggian lifted the mana rifle and fired the particle beam .
"Nooooooo . . . " screamed Sepha as she watched from inside her bubble of drones .
Geph activated his mana shield to block the blast . To his surprise, the drones moved out of the wave and allowed the accurate beam drive into his mana shield . The laser incinerated it in mere seconds, piercing his chest .
The cannon was a weapon the spirit and peggian built to become the lords of this planet . Using highly charged mana crystals, they turn it into light mana and firing it . Only because Keysol was proficiently trained in light mana, he survived .
Geph coughed up a bunch of blood and took one final look at Sepha . He then collapsed . Geph died a pitful death, not one fit for a warrior such as him .
The peggian turned to Sepha . "Now your turn . Join me or end up like our friend? Hahahaha . " laughed the peggian . He finally knew what it felt like to be the master of his own life .
