Arin[]
- “It's kinda weirding me out how we're on the same side now, Percival.”
- “I can imagine. But just think of it like when an Earth Dragon builds a nest with an Ice Dragon. Nothing is stronger.”
- “Since when do you know stuff about dragons? All you used to care about was joining the Claws to hunt them.”
- “A lot's happened since we last saw each other, Lampshade.”
- “Oh, uh, you can call me Arin.”

Percival met Arin, after the latter saved him and his friends from falling from the building as they were finishing washing the windows. Impressed by his skills and grateful for saving his and his friends’ lives, Percival calls him the coolest and asks his name, to which Arin claims that his name is “Lampshade Floortile”. Percival and his friends identify themselves as Imperium Teen Protection Force. Percival and his friends kneel and beg Arin to teach some of his skills to be as cool as him. Initially amazed by what they think of him, Arin is reluctant to teach him, but eventually agrees. He showed them all the skills he knows, even the Spinjitzu. Percival is very amazed by his skills, and even after Arin truthfully claimed that he has a master, who tells him what he does right or wrong, Percival pridefully shakes it off and assures him that all he knows is already perfect and he doesn’t need a master, making Arin feel appreciated. However, Arin and Percival’s opinions of each other soured after Arin finds out that all of them have the aspired dreams of joining the Claws of Imperium. In turn, Percival is disgusted that Arin has been hiding a baby dragon, Riyu and just as he began to sternly reprimand him, he finds out that Arin is not an Imperian, but the young man from the different land. Percival and his friends are shocked and disgusted that they have been having teachings from an “outlander” and just as they were about to fight him, the large poster of Beatrix falls on top of them, giving enough time for Arin and Riyu to escape.
However, Arin and Percival crossed their paths again after Arin found out that Percival turned his group into a Imperium Teen Resistance Force, due to them finding out of Beatrix’s true nature. At first, Arin is reluctant to trust him, due to their enmity and their contradicting views on dragons, but Arin is well acquainted with Percival as they fought Beatrix. After the end of MergeQuake Storm ended with Beatrix being exiled into another realm, Arin and Percival parted ways on good terms, having reconciled. These good terms continued when Arin was surprised to see Percival show up at the monastery with an injured Euphrasia.

Beatrix[]
- “I don't get it. Last time I saw you, you were dragging poor Riyu to the Empress.”
- “We all saw you ninja free those dragons with our own eyes. So when the Empress said it didn't happen, we got skeptical and started digging, and uncovered all kinds of lies. We were told our old Emperor died in an accident, but it turns out the Empress and Ras caused that accident.”
- “Seriously? Even I didn't know that.”
- “We've all known people who've mysteriously disappeared. We believe anyone who tries to express themselves in a way the Empress disagrees with is imprisoned. This footage was never broadcast, but in it, the Empress admits to her lies. One of her biggest? That dragons are only mindless beasts. Did you know dragons have super advanced IQs? And almost all dragon species live in cooperative communities, just like us.”
| — Percival to the ninja about Beatrix, "We Are All Dragons" |
Like all the citizens of Imperium, Percival greatly adored and respected Beatrix, viewing her as good and caring leader, not knowing about her true nature. He even captured Riyu for Beatrix, who was impressed and grateful towards Percival and told Percival that his efforts would not be forgotten, before the awestruck boy left.
However, his faith in Beatrix was strained that Beatrix lied to her people about dragons being captured, but Percival and his friends saw it themselves and it left them wondering why would their “beloved” Empress lie.
Percival and his friends’ faith in Beatrix was gone after they found out more about her true nature, and were disgusted and disillusioned that they have blindly trusted her and that they had not seen the truth themselves. Ever since that day, Percival and his friends became the leaders of the Resistance, with Rapton joining as well. Beatrix was infuriated that Percival had turned on her and became an enemy to the Imperium Teen Resistance Force. After Beatrix was defeated and sent to a different realm, Percival and his friends were among many officials to take the matters into their own hands by forming a council that would bring Imperium to peace.
