Nexus 10.0
"Now that everyone is here, it is time to begin," Tetsuo announced into the meeting tower. People sat in the chairs around the room elevated up to the point of their authority. Several of the chairs at the highest elevation in the room were noticeably empty at this meeting. They weren't the ones that were normally empty either, those people had decided to show up today as big things were starting to happen around the continent.
Around the room, many people had nervous expressions on their faces. The Jedi Order turning traitor was something none of them had seen coming, and Superman being defeated by them was even more shocking. A few of them had their doubts, but no one said a word about what would be laughed off as a conspiracy theory at best, what would be considered treason at worst. Some of those who suspected something made themselves believe they were wrong in order to protect themselves, imagining what would happen if they did go snooping.
A man in the middle tier of the room wearing red armor looked particularly upset. He wasn't too high up to hold a lot of power, but he wasn't at the very bottom either. The man with long brown hair had his fists clenched where he sat, sweat on either side of his face dripping down. How can he act so calm?! Someone needs to bring it up! He looked across the middle of the room to where an empty seat made him gulp, Jedi Master Obi-Wan's noticeable absence making his skin crawl.
"Afternoon Dreyfus. Great job in your recent mission. I hear that after it becomes official that the Gamaset region joins our ranks, there is a promotion in store for you. You will be advancing up to my section in the tower by the end of the week."
"A-Are you sure Master Kenobi? It was not such a large region that-"
"Do not be modest my friend. You have brought peace to a region fighting crime and violence from the first day on this world. Their leaders have joined us and thousands of citizens are now safe because of your actions. Whatever happened in your own world is in the past. Feel proud of your accomplishments in this world and seek to make it a better place for all who live here."
"Sir! I do not deserve such high praise from a Jedi Master such as yourself."
"No need to be so formal my friend. We are the same rank now. I look forward to working together with you for a long time to come."
Obi-Wan, what really happened? The man growled in his seat, but quietly as the nerves shaking his body wouldn't let him make any loud noises in the eerily empty hall.
"Looks like we have a few seats that need to be filled," a man close to the top of the room stated. The only ones who spoke freely at these meetings were those on the top two rows, while the others had to request an audience to discuss what was on their minds, or convince an upper member to bring it to the council's attention. The man who spoke had medium-length white hair that fell flat on top of his head. He had bangs that were longest right in between his two slanty eyes that looked like they were barely open.
Ichimaru Gin motioned towards the three empty seats on the top row of the room. Then he motioned at the empty ones on his own row as well. "Although Trunks is on a mission, two important spots need to be filled."
"Would you like a spot?" Tetsuo asked the man with white hair. The teenage boy wearing a red cape already knew the answer, just like he knew the man would ask the question as soon as the meeting began, because he planned it this way. Gin nodded and Tetsuo looked around at the five chairs on the top row just a little below his at the highest elevation in the room. "Who else thinks Gin should get a spot?"
Akainu tried to hold in a growl and lifted up a hand. The Marine Fleet Admiral's opinion held a lot of sway in the room so anyone who wasn't fully convinced by Tetsuo's choice believed Gin was probably the right man for it.
Another figure on the right of Akainu chuckled. The man had short dark green hair around his bangs and lower parts of his hair, with lighter green above his scalp in a single point above his head. He was wearing a purple jacket that went down to his feet, a yellow vest, and a blue tie, making for a very weird color combination. He scratched the side of his neck while lifting his other hand, "He did supply me with this wonderful body to use."
While Gin was a shinigami, Amaimon was a demon, and neither were visible to the normal human eye. Despite this, there were bodies created just for the purpose of allowing them to be seen by normal people. These bodies were called gigais, and Ichimaru Gin knew how to procure them so Amaimon could be seen as well. Already there were three hands raised in the top six chairs, and since the other three chairs were empty, any resistance to the decision seemed futile.
Gin smirked as creepy as he always did, and jumped up from his chair to Superman's empty one. He took a look at the 'S' symbol on it and shook his head, "I will need a new design. This one seems, outdated." A few people in the room growled as Superman's chair was being taken.
Tetsuo could feel the unrest in the room, but he knew it wasn't from too many people. He looked around him and still saw a lot of empty chairs. Trunks, I need you back here to help me out with this. Everyone listened more when you sat there. He realized he was distracted and shook his head, continuing, "Now there are even more seats in the second row that need filling. Before I do that however, I will introduce the final member of the top row."
Everyone was confused at what he was talking about. They assumed he would choose another from those already gathered in the room, but instead he was looking up at the open roof leading up into the sky above. A figure was descnding towards the building with his arms crossed, and he landed right on one of the two empty chairs on the top row.
The man had blue skin, short black hair, and maintained a straight facial expression which looked like the only one he had. His eyes glanced around the room, sizing up each person around him. From one glance, you could tell he was a very old being. His skin was wrinkled and his expression was that of a man who would be surprised by very little, having seen most things imaginable life had to offer. His black hair had receded on his scalp, accentuating his widow's peak. He also had black hair wrapping around his mouth with a thin mustache and prickly beard. His eyes were red, and though they were not currently glowing, after one look at him, most did not doubt they had the power to.
"This is Krona," Tetsuo announced. "He is a very powerful ally I have found who will help us in our goal to unite the world of Nexus." To quickly go past the subject of bringing someone in that the others had never seen before, Tetsuo continued, "Three others will also be joining us to fill these empty seats."
Whispering filled the room as people in the rows just beneath the top two were thinking that they might be bumped up. A few Vice-Admirals looked around at each other and looked up to Akainu for help, but the Fleet Admiral didn't say a word which told them they needed to stay quiet.
"Come in!" Tetsuo shouted down. The doors reopened at the bottom of the tower and three figures walked in. "Toguro brothers, Mephisto, choose your seats," the boy called down to the three people who just entered the room. 'People' wasn't a good word to describe the demons, literally, who just entered the room.
"Aniki?!" Amaimon exclaimed as Mephisto came soaring up to the top of the building. The Earth King gawked at the sight of his older brother whom he hadn't seen since arriving in this strange world. Then he started laughing and pointed down to the row beneath him, "This time I'm above you brother!" The green haired man laughed at his brother who was normally number two out of their eight siblings.
Mephisto was wearing a full white suit, highlighted only by the pink on his boots, scarf, and at the bottom of his top hat. His white jacket flapped behind him as he greeted his younger demon brother. As they were talking though, the larger of the two men still standing down below inside of the doors pressed down with his legs and jumped up so strong the floor cracked beneath his feet. Younger Toguro leapt all the way to the second row to the top and took one of the seats there. The floating demon with purple hair stopped talking to his brother and went to sit down next to the muscular Younger Toguro brother.
The older Toguro who was left behind down below started climbing up a pillar on the side of the room. He pulled himself up on a chair about midway up and then sat cross-legged inside it. The scrawny demon man with curly gray hair smirked at the armored man across the room from him who was glaring intensely in his direction.
Dreyfus was trying hard to still his tongue. A sketchy looking man whom he had never seen before just rose up to the same position as him with no more than a small introduction. Not to mention the strange three who were now at the top of the room leading them, This isn't right! That man has no right sitting in Master Kenobi's chair. He isn't a fraction of the man Obi-Wan was.
"Does something bother you?" a voice said on the left of Dreyfus and a little down. He looked down at the skinny young man wearing a long sleeved shirt and pants one row below him. The black haired Marine had on a white coat that showed he was an officer over his dark shirt and pants he was wearing. Hibari stared up at Dreyfus with the cold eyes he always had and repeated, "Is something bothering you?"
Dreyfus scowled and whispered to the kid who was just out of his teens. "This isn't right. New members showing up out of nowhere, it doesn't sit right..."
"There is no questioning justice," the younger man stated in a cold voice. As Dreyfus looked closer, he noticed the kid didn't look worried in the least. "Who they are makes no difference, as long as they uphold the rules set by the New Earth Government. If you have a concern, fill out the required paperwork." Hibari looked away from the leader of the Holy Knights and back up towards Tetsuo as the young leader of the NEG continued the meeting.
"Seems like we've got another spot up here," Tetsuo muttered, realizing he forgot about Giovanni when he was replacing the members. He looked around at some of the other top members, "Akainu Gensei, Fuhrer Mustang, any suggestions?"
Neither of the men were expecting to be asked such a question so they weren't ready. Akainu thought of his commanders and knew which one he would put at the rank below him from the third row down. Before he could call out Onigumo's name however, the Flame Alchemist on the second row shouted, "I suggest The Strong Arm Alchemist: Brigadier General Armstrong take the final spot."
Roy Mustang grinned as Tetsuo nodded his head, seeming to accept the suggestion. "Very well," the boy in the red cape said. He looked down to the third row where a few Vice-Admirals were growling to themselves and Basque Grand, the Iron Blood Alchemist, was fuming that former-Major Armstrong had not only rose to his rank but surpassed him as well. The boy in charge's eyes focused on a very muscular man with a blonde mustache, "Brigadier General Alex Louis Armstrong. You are hereby promoted. Come join our ranks."
Finally, someone whom everyone in the room respected was moving up. Many of them appreciated what Ichimaru Gin does as the protector from the unseen, being able to defeat monsters none of them could see with their own eyes. Then again, there were others who didn't believe in ghosts and demons, thinking the man swung his sword around in the air convincing others he was great. Those same people were annoyed that Amaimon had a spot on the top row.. But Armstrong; he was kind, powerful, and respected by just about everyone.
"Now," Tetsuo called out, clapping his hands together. "Akainu Gensei, please go over the report on the conquest of the western strongholds." As Tetsuo finished, he started smiling very, very wide. I did it! No one even questioned me. Haha, HAHAHA! I don't need Trunks here. It's probably better he wasn't here. I can do whatever I want! This whole world is mine, anyone who resists will soon learn their places.
"...but the rulers of these three strongholds in particular will not even negotiate with us..."
Tetsuo stood up, making Akainu stop speaking. He looked so happy as he got to his feet. The boy was in such a great mood that he didn't think anything could stop him. "Where are those three bases you're talking about?" Tetsuo asked the Marine in front of him.
Sakazuki was at a loss for words. He stared at the boy wondering if the kid was serious. Tetsuo sighed and just read the man's mind to figure it out, still smiling as he did. "Alright, I'll go take care of it." The boy bent his legs and then shot off of his chair, flying out of the roof and out the boundaries of his city.
Instantly a dozen fighters around the continent stopped what they were doing. The Saiyans stopped fighting in the middle of their battles against various Underworld bases. They all stared off into the distance where an enormous power just appeared. It got stronger and then a cluster of smaller powers were wiped out. Some of those smaller powers were actually quite large, but they were all ended almost instantly.
Tetsuo frowned at how easy just blowing up one of the strongholds was. "Guess I'll take my time with the others," he said in a nonchalant manner. He looked down at the remains of a small town that had been resisting the NEG's rule for years now. "Good riddance you idiots!"
A/N Whooa! Tetsuo finishes off the chapter with a nonchalant village slaughter... wonder how that's going to affect things here in Nexus.
