For years the Di'Napolis have extorted money from the city. Using their hired militia to "Protect" the city from the larger army of Naples in exchange for large sums of money. Tired of the citizens treatment, Nick gives the tribute money to the inventor, Leona DaVinci for a weapon to defeat the milita. The invention failed to scare off the villains. Enraged at the lack of a tribute the militia head killed the Mayor. And promised to return on the twenty-fifth of October to collect their money.

 Nick leaves town in search of help...

 Nick finds what he believes is a group of powerful warriors. He returns with them just before the Di'Napolis return.

 Donatella and Salvador Di'Napoli are so amused by this that they challenge Clara to a Living Chess Match.

 If the villagers can win the army will leave the city. If the Di'Napolis win, the army will destroy Florence.
