Merrick stood atop his balcony listening to the guards talk over the comm system. They had reported seeing a small band of rebels in the area but quickly discerned that they were nothing more than a band of merchants. Over the past few months Merrick had grown cautious as reports of a young man resembling a younger visage of Kent Collins. Merrick scoffed at the idea that Kent may be alive and then the idea of the man's children occurred to him. "If Kent did have a son whose to say he didn't have more children whose to say he isn't still alive?" he thought to himself as the wind tossed his hair. [i] I have to find that boy. If there are Collins children then the oldest is the rightful king or queen....No I won't allow it!" his thoughts continued as he looked to the guard near his doorway.
"I want everyone on full alert. I'm going down to the cave." he said before the guard started sending the message crossed the castle grounds and even down to the cave.
Later, down at the cave Damien stood in shock as Merrick came walking down toward the cave. He had an opportunity here. He raised the rifle the rebels had given him and trained the sights on the false king. Taking a deep breath he moved his finger to the trigger.
"Fang King. Stop." Kleinfeld's voice sounded over the comms. Damien ignored it. Before him was the man that had caused so much pain and suffering for both his family and everyone else in the world. "Damien...Don't its not the right time." Kleinfeld added making Damien lower his rifle.
"Give me one good reason." Damien said glaring at the man as he walked into the cave.
"Because I want to see his face when we steal all those Mobile Suits!" Kleinfeld said making Damien grin at the idea.
"Alright I can get behind that just tell me when, Nalia, Theon, How you holding up?" he said looking to his siblings.
