As Gon and the others sat around their camp, a meeting was happening at the former capital where the castle used to stand.

"Were Terror and Shriek really killed by mere mortals?!" asked a woman who looked like a pink rabbit but with black scales running down her chin into her neck and a large lizard tail sticking out of her pants.

"I'm afraid so, and now those humans are on their way here," came a voice from the shadows.

"They must have a death wish," said a man who resembled a reindeer.

"All of the Stalkers on the continent are here right now, if they managed to get any information from Terror or Shriek then they should know this and want to avoid the area," he said.

"This may be true, but why should we wait for them to get here, we should send a wave out to destroy them first," said a dog looking humanoid with a lion's mane.

"Because, these people are outsiders to the continent, meaning my daughter failed in taking the outside world and is dead along with her forces," said the person in the shadows.

"How can that be, the princess was far too strong and smart to have died at their hands, something else must have happened to her," said the first ant.

"I don't know, but I plan to find out," said the person in the shadows while four red glowing eyes appeared in the darkness.

"Send a hundred foot soldiers to the location that the outsiders are currently at, we'll give them a test to see what they are capable of," he said.

"Yes, your highness, the Supreme Emperor," said the three while kneeling before him.

"It's been a while since I last had a good fight," thought the Supreme Emperor while looking out a hole in the castle wall.

"Hopefully one of them will be able to entertain me," he thought before laughing.
