Author's Note

I apologize for taking so long to update, guys! I had a case of writer's block worse than I normally get. I think the last chapter was a little forced, and it probably came out a little odd. I'm guessing by the few reviews I got that it did.

Well, either way, here's the next chapter. And the good news about this one? Other people's OCs actually appear! Yay! However, I did use an OC from my unposted Star Wars fanfiction named Jerica. She's a Dark Fairy, but you'll learn more about her as the story progresses.

Disclaimer: Let's see, what do I own in this chapter? Well, I own Jerica and the plot. I think that's about it.

Enjoy!

Chapter Three

War Plans

Anti-Phineas and other important members of the Yang sat in a circle, planning their first attack on the Yin. Anti-Phineas was officially in charge of them, but very few people accepted him as their leader. The tension in the room was incredible.

"So," Anti-Phineas began. "I believe that we should postpone our first attack on the Yin until they have their army organized."

"What?" everyone there cried.

"If we attack them now," Anti-Phineas began to explain, "it will be so easy for us to defeat them. We already know that the Yin will lose. We're too powerful. Where's the fun in destroying them now? Shouldn't we wait until they become a little more of a challenge?"

Anti-Phineas's few followers nodded, but everyone else stared at him like he'd gone crazy.

"We can't take a risk like that!" Cathy D. Jones, an original character from the anime Hetalia, cried. "We don't know who's all working for the Yin! We already know that Posidon the water dragon is on their side! What if they recruit other great beasts?"

Anti-Phineas turned to the girl that represented the southern United States. "Well, we've got a Goozim!" he snapped. "And you've got a giant scythe, for Pete's sake! That can take down a dragon, can't it? But then again, it's not like you ever use it. Able to whip it out of nowhere at any time, yes, but actually cause damage with it? No!"

The gray-blue eyed girl glared back at Anti-Phineas. She tossed her blonde hair, the subtle darkness melding with the shadows. "Keep going, and yours will be the first blood it sees."

Anti-Phineas brushed the threat away, deeming it idle. He received such threats daily, but none of them ever ended up actually occurring. "We're going to wait to attack. That's final."

A riot quickly broke out. People yelled at Anti-Phineas and at each other. The Anti's few followers defended him while others called his plan idiotic and very risky. Fists began to fly and hidden weapons were revealed. And then, suddenly, everyone but Anti-Phineas's followers turned on him. Weapons were brandished and insults were thrown.

"We don't think you're worthy enough to lead us!" one shouted.

"You don't have a clue about leading an army!" another cried. "You're just doing this to get at your Yin counterpart! It has to benefit you, doesn't it? Everything has to benefit you!"

"Wait a minute!" Srihish, a Gorn original character from Star Trek, interrupted. "Maybe we should try to-"

Srihish was abruptly cut off as Xi-Va, an android resembling the VOCALOID Hatsune Miku, jumped forward with a knife. She sliced the lizard man's chest open and watched as he crumpled and bled to death.

"Now I bet he wishes he'd had his Bat'leth," Xi-Va said in her creepy android voice. The crescent-moon shaped weapon she'd referred to was nowhere to be seen, probably lost in the malay that had filled the room earlier. Xi-Va ran her fingers through the blood pool forming on the stone floor as everyone else began to advance on Anti-Phineas again.

This won't do at all, Anti-Phineas thought to himself. He looked around until he spotted what he was looking for: a knife, discarded on the floor. Slowly, carefully, he began to draw it towards him with his telekinesis. No one noticed the gentle scratching sound as it slid across the floor. No one noticed the careful movement as it came towards Anti-Phineas.

The knife shot into Anti-Phineas's hand as he spun towards the advancing crowd, slashing out at the nearest being. It just happened to be Jerica, Queen of the Dark Fairies, that suffered his wrath. He caught the Jedi-hating creature's left bat wing, creating a large gash along the length of it. Jerica cried out in pain and crumpled as the rest of the crowd stepped backwards, away from the angry Anti.

"Fine. If you want to attack now, we'll attack now," Anti-Phineas said, speaking in a low and dangerous tone of voice. "We will send one wave of soldiers to attack the forming Yin army. But only one wave! Is that good enough for you, or does anyone else object?"

No one argued with Anti-Phineas's declaration. After seeing Jerica be turned into an example, everyone was wary of being severely injured, or worse, flayed like Srihish had been.

Anti-Phineas smiled a devious smile. "Good."

Shoutout time!

WordNerb93, I hope that this was a sufficient challenge of Anti-Phineas's leadership. And thank you for giving me permission to kill Srihish.

Galaxina-the-Seedrian, thank you for all your wonderful help! I would have gotten rid of your OCs, but Bruce didn't really fit in this chapter, and I want Xi-Va to meet Miku now!

iheartphinabella05, I'm sooooooo glad that you read this. You have no idea how exceedingly happy it made me to see your review!

Okay, I'm hoping that the next chapter will come sooner and will be less forced than the last Yin chapter. Please review and watch for updates!
