Not in the best mood, she looks back, thinking about her past of an unchangeable destiny she can't avoid.

"What do you mean?" Alistor asked. "You were amazing out there!"

"Oh, was I?" She sarcastically said.

She immediately wraps her arm on Alistor's neck in a tight grip, roughing him up.

"Ow! You're hurting me…."

Tannen, Maigashi, Auroa, Katty, and Steffbird only watch. Elena and the rest are left nearly amused, thinking it was love at first sight.

"Aw, they're like a couple already," Mira muttered.

Rena then releases him before leaving. The moment she walks away, they are pulled back together by force. Rena and Alistor slam back into one another.

"What the hell? What's going on?" She wondered.

Alistor felt the same, looking back at anyone for answers. Then, finally, Elena steps in to clarify things for them.

"Rena, don't you remember the curse?"

She stood clueless for a second. Then, a curse mark immediately materializes on the side of Alistor's neck.

"As the ruling says for your curse. The one to wake the Silver Maiden must always be with her. The two of you cannot be more than thirty feet away."

The two soon drop their jaws.

"What! You got to be kidding me. I have to be with this loser the whole time?" She yelled.

"Yep, it's all here." Mira points to her in her booklet. "Since Alistor was the one to kiss you, that means you must be by him the whole time."

Rena then collapses to the floor, moping in a cartoonish manner.

"The curse will wear off when all of Anneria is restored. Rena can return back to sleep."

"So there's no other way?" Rena cried.

"Unless you both are true for love, that can also break the spell," Elena added.

"You can't be serious." Alistor gasp.

"Well, this is just great," Rena grunted.

They all return to camp to celebrate their first victory in battle. Claws later deliver the status of their army.

"This battle nearly wiped us out. We suffered much damage within our forces. Nearly 800 were injured in the battle against Faucet-Face alone. So we got to take more precautions in the future."

"The battle from here on out will be getting harder. Who knows what they'll have in store next time." Worried Katty.

"We must proceed with caution from now on. Each move made will affect the outcome of our mission success." Sairori added.

Later that night…

"At last!" Maigashi jumped. "We get more rooms. No longer will we be cramped in one tent."

Packing his bags, he leaves with Auroa and Zolhalla to another tent.

Each of the parties relocates to separate camps for the night. Steffbird with Tannen and Sairori in one, while Katty bunks with Claws. Alistor and Rena, on the other hand, had a room prepared specially by Elena.

"Wow, this room is amazing…." But, as surprised as Alistor was, Rena didn't really care.

"We move out tomorrow. Best of a good night to the both of you." Elena gracefully waves to them.

"Great, just my luck. Stupid curse! Having to be stuck with you. I'm not going to get much privacy." Rena mumbled.

Her head falls back onto the enormous mattress.

Alistor then goes to join her. However, she immediately knocks him off.

"Ow! What was that?"

"You're not sleeping with me." She roared. Tossing a pillow to his face. "You get the floor."

Rena starts removing her armor. It was hard not for him to resist watching, but she kicked him out for the minute. Not far from the door, Alistor waited and waited. Finally, he saw his fellow friends stroll down for the night in his path. They were prepared to leave the camp.

"Where are you guys off to?" Alistor asked.

Steffbird can be seen dancing around while Sairori and the others get into a song. Claws push a patched-up Ralph in a wheelchair while Tannen leads the way for everyone.

"We're going to hit the clubs down in Haze City tonight," Tannen said.

"The nightlife is waiting for us!" Maigashi jumped. "Just think of all the hot chicks we'll get down with, Auroa."

"Damn, I wish I could come," Alistor muttered.

"Want to come anyway?" Tannen asked.

Slipping his mind for a brief second, Alistor nearly forgot about everything as he wanted to join his friends for some fun.

"Hey, wait for me!"

He decides to follow, but he is suddenly forced back from the mark of the curse. He flew back, crashing through the room while Rena was nearly undressed.

"Ahhhhhhhh! You pervert!"

Rena kicks him back out the door, covering her top. Nearly half-dazed, he faints at the sight of her body. It was going to be a long night for him.
