After testimones are given, the procter of the final test now has her 'jury' give the results. Will the team make it through the trial and get the prize at the end?

Micah once again nods in agreement to Red's statement and says to the Dhampir, "Yeah, arms length for you ladies. The rest of us could still be at risk if he rages out again."
"In battle, a calm mind is essential for victory. A mind of rage and discourse can lead even the most skilled warrior to an early grave," Spiga speaks up, her expression as firm as ever.
Kenzie walks up to the Dhampir and points a finger over her shoulder at Christa asking, "Is there anything that makes her happy?"
Me: "I understand."
Meria: "Sir you're not going to believe this but my scans show that she gained a new ability, just like how you use to be able to turn into a Werewolf and Vampire, she can turn into a Jabberwock at will both dragon and humanoid form and go back to her human self without any issues."
Me: "WHAT!?, no fare she gets a wicked now ability like that, ugh I can't complain I was able to reunite her with her family and now she has more power to protect them."
Jack: "Speaking of which we need you back in Wonderland, they're starting a war console and they kind of need to know if you're willing to help them go to war." I look back and see Jack at the door out of breath.
Me: "I know what I told Isaac but I need to hear them out myself before I make a decision." I lead the Chesire back to the transports and beam back down with Jack. "So what's this I hear about you all preparing to go to war sooner then I would like?"
"It's always hard to say with him. I'm afraid all the time spent with the Queen has had an effect on him. He's thinking ahead and playing the long game and rarely shows his hand...I'm worried about him; he's not the boy I grew up with all those years ago." The Dhampir states answering Red, Micah and. "Ya know, I'm not really sure. She's rarely smiled she we took her in, and all I've seen her do is war counseling with some of the others. I don't know if she can smile." She says to Kenzie.
"I see, simply astounding! I was certain she was going to remain that way. This data will most definitely prove invaluable in the come times...Right then, I must be off to analyze this data!" The Cheshire Cat says pulling a small black dot out from her pocket. She stretches it and tosses it onto the ground and jumps into it's darkness; it closes soon after.
"It's pretty smart not to show his hand, it's not for him to give no hints to his allies. I mean, he could vent from time to time, instead of letting his dark feelings build up and make him go berserk when they overflow..." I see Repter returning and point towards Christa: "I think you should ask her."
"I can see why you'd be worried about him," Micah states with a nod adding, "But you'll need a plan for if he does rage out. As I said before, if he unleashes his demon form whilst in the thick of battle then it could lead to a major catastrophe."
"Most people change over the course of their lifetime, but Micah and Red are wise to be concerned about Isaac in this upcoming battle. If extra precautions aren't taken then the tide could quickly turn out of our favor," Spiga tells the Dhampir, hoping that she'll at least take their thoughts into consideration in preparation for the big fight.
Kenzie sticks her finger in Christa's direction and says, "Well you need to get her to start lightening up."
She hears Repter ask about the upcoming war and thrusts up to him blurting out, "Oh yeah, there's gonna be siege machines and thousands of Order troops to blow up!"
"I'm sure Lic-chan has...some sort of plan...I hope...As for Christa it's easier said than done." She answers. A portal opens up and Lic-chan and Kiki-chan step out. "Huh? Lic-chan, Kiki-chan. what are you doing here?" The Dhampir asks. "The...war...consul..." Lic-chan answers. "And I'm here to check on Master's state." Kiki-chan explains.
Me: "Sounds like a warzone, but I need more information the Order has little to no idea the Skyhammer or even the Earth Republic even exists, I need to know what we could be up against if we do decide to get involved because after the Oz incident they want to try to go back to dealing with natural and supernatural disasters and I'm kind of leaning towards the same footing at the moment." I tell everyone.
Lic-chan takes out a book and flips to a page and removes a scrap of paper, handing it to Repter. It details that the Order have gotten their hands on a sort of weapon of unknown origins. "We know it's not much to go on, but Ryu-chan had a vision of a metallic monstrosity. She's unsure if they've already got it and are testing it, or they will complete it soon. Her visions are of possible futures, so we have only so much to work with." Kiki-chan explains. Lic-chan nods and points toward the castle. "Going...to...council now..." She says.
Me: I look over the information. "I'll keep the information in mind while we the United Earth Republic is currently in the process of setting up a orbital space station observation post my ship as well as those of the UER have been detecting something unusual it'll be ready by the time the war starts." I start pondering what it could be and a very uneasy feeling starts welling up in my chest.
Jack: "Repter are you ok?"
Me: "Yeah just an uneasy feeling about the future."
Anitra: "I share your doughts, something isn't right."
"... There's a fictional character who always has a handful of backup plans to stop, or in the worst case kill his allies should they get on the wrong path; I think I understand that logic a bit better now. Please don't tell me I'm going to need it as well!"
I stop to wave a little at the newcomers and listen to the exchange between Kiki-chan and Repter: "A... metallic monstrosity? Giant I assume? Did she describe how tall it was?" I cough to clear my thoughts at the same time and resume: "I mean, if we have to fight it in a near future, may as well know what we're up against, right?"
