Episode 10: Rough time with Nobles, Jalen and Alexis's bet.

Watching her father stalking behind every single expert ranting at them to not touch his gadgets and home was an experience for Alex. Then again, she knows how angry Jalen can get about his stuff and home getting trespassed.

"STOP TOUCHING MY GADGETS!!!"
"I SWEAR TO GOD, I WILL BREAK YOUR HAND IF YOU GO NEAR MY HOUSE!"
"STEP AWAY FROM MY MARTH!!!" Jalen screams with passion and rage at some of the experts trying to get some hair off of Marth due to the fact that when they went down there to get a trace of the energy and tracked it down to the Garu.

"Your dad...is....well..." Kana can't find the words for it as Alex sighs, understanding how Jalen feels, but wish he would take it levels back in terms of anger and speak up. "Dad's anger issues don't define him as a person." "Oh, but of course!" Kana nods vigorously, as if disagreeing would somehow summons Jalen's anger towards him. "I heard stories of Mommy(Rhiannon)'s anger in terms of prejudice...So it reminds me of that."

"Yeah.." Watching Jalen stomp his way towards Chrom and Cordelia, Alex couldn't help but chuckle. As for Lucina, Alex notices that Lucina made sure to STAY AWAY from her parents at all times. If they were in the north of Jalen's ranch, she would be at the south...and vice-versa. "(Geez, she acts like her parents have a disease...)" Judging by how absolutely nervous she is looking, it seems more that Lucina was quite scared of meeting her parents. As if, something terrible to the timeline would happened...

"OI, YOU!!" Jalen call out to Chrom who turn away from one of the experts with Cordelia and their monsters, Raphael and Hera, all looking at him. Chrom with a a small smile as opposed to Cordelia's judging look "Why hello there..." Chrom begins just as Jalen point at his face. "Listen here, Prince Chrom...I pay my taxes however costly they are, I don't fucking starts on fights with people out of the blue..." "That is partially a lie since you assaulted a friend of ours..."

Cordelia speaks up with a scowl as Jalen avert his eyes to her. "Who the hell are you?" She clears her throat to answer his question, but just as she was about to speak.. "I'm Corde-" "Rhetorical Question, I don't give a fuck."
Chrom frowns and speak up, but get pushed aside by Cordelia who is baring her fangs at Jalen who don't step back. "Listen here, you damned bastard! I will NOT tolerate disrespect to my boyfriend and I, the next in line of the Demacia throne!" "You could be next in line to follow whatever god you worship and I STILL wouldn't give a fuck..." He crosses his arms and scowls at her beneath his hat. "You seem to know who I am..."

"Of course, you're the commoner that somehow beaten my friends a couple of days at the Hydra Cup, which I frankly am NOT impressed with at all!" Cordelia grits her teeth as Jalen scoffs and roll his eyes.

"So? What's hard to believe that Marth and I was simply better than those 2?" The perceived arrogance of Jalen rubbed Cordelia the wrong way, the fact that this commoner refused to suck up or submit to her reminded her of Rhiannon, Edelgard's transgender girlfriend. And while Cordelia have NO issues with LGBT and minorities...

She loathes those who do not heed elites such as her.

"What's hard to believe that I don't think for a second that a person of your status was able to legit beat both Felix and Sylvain..." By now, Hera was growling at Jalen, daring him to do anything to her trainer. This in turn got Marth agitated as he bare his fangs and snarls at the Daton. Seeing and hearing Marth getting mad only makes Jalen smirks at Cordelia. "I know your type, the ones who can only see reason by violence..my kind of language."

"Hey guys, I think we should relax..." Chrom tries to ease the situation with Alex, Kana, and Lucina walking up from his south as he turn to them with a frown. "Can't one of you calm Jalen down here?" Alex blinks and turn to Jalen with a small and nervous smile. "Heya Jalen? Mind just backing off a bit?  We JUST got done beating a giant monster and we need to rest."

Jalen waves a hand at her to dismiss her. "No worries..." He walk back a bit with Marth to get some space... "That Daton of hers ain't fucking shit to what we dealt with...This will be over in a second."

"Ha! Just cause you have beaten our friends, does not mean for a second that your Rank E monster will last long against my Rank D beauty..Hera? Let us remind these brutes of manners..." Cordelia flips her hair as the horns on Hera begin to spark electricity...

"Ok, Stop, both of you!" Just as Marth and Hera leaped at one another, Raphael stepped in and put both hands up to block Marth's punch and place a hand on Hera's head, stopping both. "Man, that was so close..." Lucina speaks up with awe at her father's monster."Phew, looks like Raphael is able to keep both of them in check.." Alex squints her eyes and see that while it look like this is the case..one can see that Raphael is applying more force on Marth's hand than he is on Hera herself. And it would seems that She, Jalen, Cordelia, and Chrom noticed this judging by their expressions.

"Listen, Cordy.." Chrom walk up and place a hand on her shoulder. "We didn't come here to fight...Look." He points a hand at his father who didn't see the action as he is busy talking to some of the guards there. "We're almost done here..wouldn't be a good idea to start a fight." Jalen scoffs and walk off with Marth follows him to the cliffside as Cordelia clenches her fists and shake her head before looking at the 3 teens with a harsh look, scaring Kana and Lucina, but not Alexis.. "If he is an acquaintance of yours, you should prioritize teaching that brute manners!"

Before Alexis could even get a breath out, Lucina bows and speak up. "At once, Lady Cordelia, excuse his behavior, we had a rough time in the cave...and he's understandably agitated ." "(Fucking suck-up....)" Alex groans as Kana does his best not to laugh at Lucina practically licking her mother's heels. "Hmph...at least ONE of you have manners.."Cordelia nods and walk off.. "I'm sorry Chrom..I lost my anger at the commoner.."

"Well..it's fine.."He sighs as she head back to their car and he turn to the others. "Forgive us."

"It's not us you should say sorry to..." Alex frowns and point at Jalen who is looking out to the oceans to sooth his anger, watching the wild Lesiones splashing out of the ocean. Chrom nods and turn to her. "I will, one day for sure...but its time for me to go."Chrom turn and walk off as Lucina stares at his back and sighs...Alex roll her eyes and walk towards Jalen as the royals and experts disperse..leaving the 4 of them alone on jalen's ranch.

Alex walk up to Jalen as Alm does the same to Marth. "....." "..." The 2 humans stand there in silence as they watch the ocean before them.

"...I love looking at the waters too..as if they hold the answers to life's answers." Alex speaks up with a small smirk, getting one on Jalen at the joke as he speaks up. "Well, it's more like I myself come up with the answers I need to hear.." The two of them smiles at the oceans with their monsters, listening to the water crashing against the rocks below them. "..You got pissed at Cordelia, huh?"

"Yup...Can't stand people like her..So fucking high and mighty.." "(Tell me about it..the apple don't fall far from the tree at all with her and Severa...)" Alex groans as Jalen turn his head to her. "...Back in the cave.."

"(Aw shit..here we go...)"

"..."
Jalen rolls his shoulders and turn to Alex with a calm look that hides his nervousness.  "You call me dad back there...What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

Alexis look back to her friends and see Lucina shaking her head fast with a frown with Kana forming an X with his arms and turn back to Jalen with a sad look. "...Can't answer that..""(So there IS a reason to it..)" Jalen flusters, not liking the answer, but understand that's probably all he gonna get from her. "But..." He look over and see her raise a finger up with a smirk. "Here's what I can do...Get past the Official Rank E cup in Sept...and I'll tell you what I meant back there.."

Jalen raise an eyebrow before smirking and holding a hand out. "You gonna regret that promise, Alexis.." She smirks back and shake his hand. "Oh, on the contrary..I think this is a wonderful deal.." They break it off as she walk off with the others to their car. "Remember! Win that cup!" "Good grief..." He smiles and look back to the ocean as the sound of the car drives off...

However, he soon frowns as the sun begin to set with his mind going back to what King Shiden said in the cave...
"("WAIT, HAVE MERCY...I WAS PUT UP TO THIS!!!! I WAS AWAKEN BY SOME DEMACIAN NOBLES!! THEY WERE 2 OLD BLACK SKINNY GUYS!!! MERCY!!!")"
"Two old skinny black guys...who are Demacian Nobles..." Jalen scowls as he pick a rock up and chuck it down at the ocean, Marth doing the same as well..

"...If they are who I think they are....it would seems that life works in a bizarre way to keep the past a yard away from me..."He scowls and adjust his hat... "Good fucking grief..."He turn back to his house.. "Whatever, tomorrow we gonna start training for that Rank E cup in Sept...It's July, so we gonna win this, Marth,."

Marth yells in agreement, the 2 of them heading back to the house to prep...
