Apart from Don who is resting, the rest of the SSS came storming in quickly and one by one taking care of The Freedom Group.
Game over.
Out of the fight:
Marc Omal (Exhaustion, blood lost)
Mei Magmal (Apprehended by Nea)
Pearl Magmal (Apprehended by Barack)
Rina Wenswood (Being sat on by Alize)
Don Leoniluos (Semi unconscious, recovering)
"Thanks for coming, Captain Lloyd." Alize bowed down a bit in front of the mysterious man.
"Lloyd? Is that… Lloyd Avery? Hey get off me weirdo!" Rina tried to force her way out of Alize's awkward apprehending pose, who is sitting on her chest and holding her wrists, making Rina unable to move. When she heard the name Lloyd she immediately recognized who that is.
Full Name: Lloyd Avery
SSS Rank: Lead Captain of Combat Training
Adventure Rank: A-Rank Combat Analyst
With all three members of The Freedom Group defeated. Esmeralda desperately tried to get Marc to wake up, but then what next? Run? Fight back? She didn't have the time to think this through.
"Say, Novendex…" Lloyd looked at the frightened teenager Esmeralda, then looked over at Barack. "You kidnap a teenage demihuman, reptile to be exact. Which caused all this? And you called me for reinforcement? Against four randoms?"
"Master…" Nea tried to have a word, which was cut short.
"Vitones." Lloyd said. "What did I tell you about not answering for other people? I know who I'm asking."
"She's not a demihuman sir, she's a shapeshifting dragon." Barack answered.
"So… based on that, you decided you had the authority to kidnap it? And I heard quote unquote, kidnapping, not confiscating or anything"
"Uh…"
"... Assholes," Pearl shook his head.
"Sigh might as well..." Lloyd took off the hood of his coat, letting his shoulder-length chalky silver hair to be seen, he then walked over towards Marc.
"Do not… come any closer!" Esmeralda; a little frightened, still tried to keep calm, began hugging and pulling Marc away from the approaching scary man with a big sword. "Back off, please…"
"That's touching and desperate, kid." With no hesitation, Lloyd grabbed Marc by his hair from Esmeralda's hands, easily like taking candy from a child.
"Marc!" Mei yelled out, which was stopped by
"Please! Leave him alone!" Esmeralda still tried to hold onto Marc, pulling him away from Lloyd. But it's like pushing an immovable object, nothing works.
"Is this man important to you, Esmeralda?" He asked, kneeling down a bit to reach Esmeralda's height.
"I'm not answering that! Let go of my Marc now!" Esmeralda grabbed Marc's sword on the ground and furiously tried to swing it towards Lloyd. The thing was weighty and lanky. She eventually hit Lloyd in front of his disappointing eyes.
"Well, if not then I think this is fine, right?"
shank
"ah! arg…"
Grabbing Esmeralda's fist, Lloyd forced her to stab Marc's leg.
"Marc!" Pearl, furioused, tried to stand up, but he couldn't force himself out of Barack's grasp.
"Which one of you… isn't an asshole?" Mei clenched her teeth and began using all her strength to struggle against Nea, who was pressuring her on the ground.
With her eyes gone completely emotionless, her jaws can't even drop down in shock, and her hands trembled alongside her heartbeats. Esmeralda began to break down, mentally.
Esmeralda felt as if something was brewing inside her, something dark and insidious. As her senses — vision, tactile, hearing, smell, taste and the almighty sixth sense all getting more and more sensitive as time gently ticks. The air was blowing her away, her body temperature was heating up her mind, every breath she took felt like she's inhaling and exhaling the quintessence of humanity.

"ROARR" Esmeralda, now a tall young dragon, let out a huge battle cry, signifying her losing control.
Unconsciously, she activated Hardened Scales, which was not available before she was enraged. She didn't notice that both it and Fly are now available.
"Do any of you have a free hand?" Lloyd kept an eye on Esmeralda while asking his team.
