In a certain location in Antarctica, up in the skies where the clouds demarcated their territory, an extremely large warship hovered. Despite the staggering size of the war vessel, it was in stealth mode and invisible.
Though it was hidden from sight, its enormous weapon armaments still locked onto all the strategic locations alertly in the case of being discovered.
Its powerful scanners and other high-tech detection devices kept on operating at their full capacity, blasting the surroundings with penetrating electromagnetic waves to detect and expose any hidden existence.
Despite the powerful stealth systems of the warship, a special jamming device was currently activated to complement the stealth systems which erected and maintained a disruption forcefield constantly around the warship.
From the design and powerful frame of the war vessel, qualified engineers could easily deduce that it was already a warship equivalent to the standards of the big 5, which was a clear indication of the owners’ status.
At this moment, amid the practiced and mastered activities of the crew manning the warship, an emergency meeting was being held inside the powerful war vessel.
At the very heart of the warship was the meeting hall.
The hall inside the warship was very big, easily about a few hundred kilometers in size which was outrageous.
Despite how highly graded the warship was, the inside was not luxurious. Its interior was painted in a plain and simple grey color; no luxurious decorations, it was just a cold and militaristic background.
Inside the hall was a huge round table, and 34 chairs surrounded the round table. The other parts of the hall were empty, and it was covered by a thick fog like a secret was being hidden inside it.
Bzzz!
At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly reverberated and one of the chairs surrounding the round table was occupied. The figure who now occupied it was not physical, it was clear that it was a virtual projection.
It was an old man with long white flowing beards, a white bushy mustache, but with a firm militaristic vibe emanating from him. His body was visibly strong and muscular at just a glance.
He looked more like a crazy fitness enthusiast, it was hard to picture him as an old man due to his extremely dense and buff muscles and chest.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s, he surveyed the hall with a cunningness like that of a green snake hidden in the green grass shining from the depth of his eyes. He suddenly collected himself as a few others arrived.
Bzzz! Bzzz!
Repeated buzzing sounds reverberated, and 17 other people appeared to occupy another 17 chairs.
Among all of them, the few similar features between them were that they were all old, and emanated a powerful feeling. Even the old females among them looked like male Lions stalking prey.
None of them said a word, they just glanced at each other leisurely with such gestures that showed that they were familiar with each other.
As they waited silently, another buzzing sound reverberated, and another figure was projected, an old man.
He had blonde hair, a calm look on his face, sharp eyes that seemed able to see through any soul, and most especially, he was seated at the seat of honor which was at the middle of the round table.
All the other projections stood up as soon as he arrived and greeted respectfully.
“Lord Achilles!”
The Greek Destroyer had a calm look on his face as he looked at the Elite Commanders who were able to respond to his call. After sweeping a glance at the empty chairs, he quickly forgot about them.
He nodded back at them with his sharp but unfathomable eyes. “You can sit down, let the meeting begin”.
He was the one who announced the beginning of the meeting, and he was the one who presented his discovery before the others also, he did not beat around the bush.
“My contacts got a new sensitive information just a few hours ago from the big 5 joint research base”.
He took a deep but solemn breath to put more emphasis on what he was about to say. “After 4 decades since the 5 hegemons joined heads together to research the strange phenomenon, they finally got an answer”.
“They couldn’t crack the alien’s sturdy willpower to make him spill information, so they had no choice but to build a device through which they could directly invade inside his brain and get the relevant information”.
“They succeeded in creating the device; The Soul Extractor”.
“After a series of failures, they finally found success just a few hours ago. They were able to extract a few pieces of vital information before the alien finally died from the mental strain”.
“Through the alien language that they’ve been trying to learn for decades, they were able to interpret the little information that they got”.
“The keywords are- Invasion…, All Species…, …Supremacy”.
The Greek Destroyer paused and took a long glance through the faces of the Elites sitting before him. All the Elite Commanders kept quiet, silently ruminating over the relevance of these words.
After observing for about a minute, Elite Commander Achilles finally focused on a particular one of the Elite Commanders.
“Seer Arnold, it seems that your prophecy is coming to pass”.
The sage-like Elite Commander rubbed his long beards. “Yes, it is correct. We no longer have much time; this is the time when we need the chosen one the most”.
Hearing that, all the others turned to face Elite Commander Titus.
“Clark is no longer in my custody, he has passed his sublimation, and his subsequent growth from here is completely on his hands”. Elite Commander Titus clarified calmly.
The Greek Destroyer nodded. “Does anyone have any other information to report to the gathering?”
One of the Elite Commanders nodded. “I’ve had a lot of dealings with Clark, and lately, he inquired of something which left me thinking. He asked for mechanics who could create mechs”.
“And what did you do?” Elite Commander Titus asked.
“What did you expect me to do? He should focus on growing stronger rather than focus on such trivialities, I replied him in a roundabout manner”.
Titus chuckled. “You’re really a Monkey, Monkey Hands. In fact, a curly-haired baboon is the best description to describe you”.
Elite Commander Daman was not angered, he asked calmly. “Did Clark have a secret that I don’t know of?”
“Yes, Clark had a fortuitous encounter in the Everest”.
Without holding anything back, Elite Commander Titus explained everything about the bean quadrant enhancer. After he finished, the few Elite Commanders finally came to a new understanding of the chosen one.
After confirming that no one had anything else to say, the Greek Destroyer finally turned to face Elite Commander Daman who currently held his chin while deep in thought.
“Daman, build him a proper mech”.
“Yes, I definitely will”.
“Another thing”. The Greek Destroyer raised his head.
“In the process of cracking the information gotten from the alien, they also discovered that he had other companions that are still on this planet. A strike force is currently being assembled; we have to make an appearance”.
None of the Elites objected, which meant that the meeting was officially done. “Ok, that is all for today. Continue your preparations for the great invasion, we need all the preparations that we can get”
“And keep hoping that one day, the big 5 will finally be aware of the threat that this galaxy is facing”.
