'The guardians? Why?' asked Jade
'We all are related to the guardians in some way. The Second Guardian destroyed all our lives. We have banded together to take down these very guardians. That's reason enough to talk about them. Any questions?' thundered Jake.
...
'Good! Don't interrupt me again. And don't ask stupid questions. Is that clear?'
...
'Alright! As you all are already aware, our lives have been turned upside down by the Second Guardian. Every since he took my throne and unleashed The Order upon the world, everything has gotten out of control. Everyone now has powers. There is war, blood and destruction everywhere. The people are divided. The powerful monopolies while the others suffer. Suffering of the weak is pitiful. Each of you have lost something dear to you. The Second Guardian is responsible for our torment. So we have to exact our vengeance.'
'How exactly do we do this?' asked Gerine
'Simple we first have to sort out their structure and destroy it from the base. Originally the Second Guardian had 12 foot soldiers, each of whom have become a guardian themselves. We would've had to defeat these 12 guardians before reaching the Second Guardian but thanks to Yoru who has taken out the Ice Guardian and the Death Guardian, our jobs have become easier. Now we just need the right ingredients to plan our attack. The eight of us alone cannot make a single difference in the battlefield. We are going to face millions. We have to battle the First and Third Guardian as well. So we have to prepare an army of our own. A disposable army. We have to gather weapons to aid us in the fight. Preparation is mandatory to launch an attack. First in order to observe what is truly going on we need to have information about everything.
'How do you plan on doing all this?' asked Mada
'Simple! For the weapons problem, we simply have to clear the level 4 gate or the Void's first gate. For the information part, we already have it at our disposal.'
'I don't get it. There are only 8 of us. How much info can we gather?' said Mada
'You don't have to worry about collecting information. Lucious is the one doing the job or he is just going to be managing it. You see Lucious and Gerine originally ran a network agency specialising in all areas of information. After these two vanished, the agency also vanished but they reemerged just few weeks back. Lucious and Gerine are gonna get that agency back. Even though the agency has changed its name to Skeptic, the members remain same. So it should be easy for you.'
Jake looked at Lucious and Gerine and they nodded affirmatively. Jake proceeded.
'And finally to gather a disposable army, I plan to organise a tournament.'
