But BAHRAM already arrested Princess Sara after finding several of their men wounded, allowing them to figure out Sara was the leader. Flannery tried to convince BAHRAM she was the leader, but when Sara saw Flannery being thanked by BAHRAM for helping in arresting Sara, she mistakenly believed that Flannery purposely sold her out, she swore revenge on her and was taken away. In huge anguish for failing to save her friend Sara, Flannery screamed in sky to Sara she is truly sorry for accidentally betraying her, which led to permanent dissolvement of Pokenforcresses.
