Author's Note: As promised I would make s part on Sunday. I thank you all for staying this far and given me the support to continue on. I will not stop this story once I'm in school but updates will be slow depending on how much work I have. Overall it gives me time on what happens next so yeah. Also I will be creating a poll when we get to Theron. It's a secret so you'll have to take a guess. Anyways without further ado let us begin.
Chapter 38: Priorities
"Before I begin do any of you have any questions?" Neydah asked as he took a bite of a cookie.
"Yeah…why would you have all of us come here under short notice?" Kratos asked in a displeased voice.
"Well…allow me to explain." Neydah replied.
He then raised his right hand and with a wave of his hand a screen appeared in the center of the room. Neydah then snapped his fingers and the screen flipped on revealing each and every single princess that is known. Everyone in the room stared at the screen shock a they saw the amount of Princesses. Having the nerve to speak for everyone Frost spoke to Neydah.
"My lord…why is there many Princesses then before? There were only 22 Princesses before. Now there are 29 of them." Frost asked in surprise.
"Well it seems that over time these Princesses have been in different parts of Minecraftia. Because of this I wasn't able to sense them at the time but now we have some new Princesses joining this years Mob festival. Most of them are of course the Minecraftia Princesses, Nether Princesses, Some are Twilight Forest Princesses, and last but not least the Demon and Angel Princess." Neydah responded.
"Wait…if the Princesses increased does that mean that the Princes as well?" Michael asked.
"Yes…but for now let us stay on one subject before going onto the next." Neydah insisted.
Everyone nodded after Neydah's words and the young boy smiled. He then stepped out of his throne chair and walked on the table as he approached the Hologram.
"Thanks to these Princesses they seem to be a greater number then we least expected. Usually we would be able to handle the Nether and Minecrafian Princesses if we were to fight them but knowing that there are more of these mobs is even more aggravating. What's worse is that some of these Princesses have formed allies with each other to make they're race and themselves stronger. So if one of these Princesses were to be attacked then we would have to face their allies" Neydah announced.
Everyone began to mutter with each other for a moment. They then stopped when Neydah discarded the pictures of the Princesses and showed pictures of the Princes before the change.
"Now…as Michael said the Princes have also increased in numbers from just five measly Princes to a staggering amount 15 of these Royal Princes." Neydah said with a frown.
He then tapped the screen and it changed to show the Princess of now. The only one's who seemed surprised about this were Michael, Frost, Marrel, and Alex's eyes widen to see this many Princes. The others on the other hand kept calm faces and continued stare.
"Unlike the Princesses I find the Princes to be somewhat annoying but they are not a huge problem. They seem to not ally themselves with each other thus not making them a serious threat. Except for these three." Neydah said as he tapped the pictures of Skreel, Haze, and Agony.
The three pictures then enlarged and it showed a full appearance of Haze, Skreel, and Agony standing on the table.
"These three appear to be the strongest Princes that my spies have seen so far. If combined together they can match the power of you Michael. But they don't seem to be a serious threat at all." Neydah said.
"What do you mean my lord?" Raike asked.
Neydah smiled and snapped his fingers when Hydra asked that question. Haze's holographic form disappeared and it showed Agony and Skreel fighting for about a minute without giving to much details. It then showed Agony killing Skreel similar to the real Agony killing Skreel. Everyone stared in amazement for a few minutes before going back to calm faces. Neydah then snapped his fingers again and the holograms of Skreel and Agony disappeared.
"Despite them being strong the Demon Prince has somewhat did our job in disposing the Ender-Creeper Prince. He'll be able to respond but this actually helps us. After the Ender-Creepers death most of the Princes and Princesses were shakened by this and are still shakened to this very day. Thus some of you have been able to go through your deeds with ease." Neydah said.
Everyone began to chuckle but stopped when Neydah frowned. This forced everyone to question what was wrong.
"But despite this we seem to have a threat among us. To be precise three threats. Three threats that Alex should have dealt with the day I gave him the assignment." Neydah said.
Alex didn't understand what Neydah was talking about but he began to sweat. Neydah then discarded the Pictures of Princesses and the Hologram itself. He then snapped his fingers and three exact holographic figures appeared. Everyone stared at the figures but seemed to be confused on what Neydah was showing them. The only one's who seemed wide eyed about this was Alex, Kratos and Karen.
"The Three you see here are known as Kai Spudera, Ace Valley, and Hayden Blade. These three humans aren't deemed as a threat but are to be eliminated if seen. Does anyone have any ideas?" Neydah said to them.
Everyone stared at the three boys in awe. Some were confused about these boys being strong while others just stared inspecting them.
"My lord if I may." Allison requested.
"Of course Allison. You may speak." Neydah replied.
Allison nodded and began to spoke while she had her eyes on Ace.
"The one known as Ace Valley is not in need to be eliminated. I have saw him transform and he changed into some sort of Skeleton like Creature. Now…this is my only my opinion but…if we are able to persuade him he could be a loyal ally to fight in our cause." Allison insisted.
Everyone looked at Allison and then at Neydah who smiled like a little boy at a toy store.
"A marvelous idea Allison. I will trust that you will be able to persuade him. Does anyone else have any other idea's in mind that they would like to suggest." Neydah insisted.
"I do my lord. Allow me to dispose of Kai. It would be one less insect for you to worry about and seeing that Alex didn't do such a great job in disposing him I think that I should gladly see to it that he is killed by my hands." Kratos said.
"Very well Kratos. This will be the second time you have fought with this Kai Spudera. Even though I would strongly reconsider this I will allow you to fight him. Though…if you fail to kill him there will be dire consequences." Neydah said.
"My lord what about the one called Hayden?" Zellos asked.
"I could be the one to dispose of him. He reeks of the impure disease and I wish to purge him from this world." Raike suggested.
"No it should be me. I want to see what this Hayden is and I want to devour him." Marell giggled.
"No...no…Hayden is already Karen's main priority. I only intrust her because she is my loyal and trusted subject. Besides…all of you have a roll to play in my little game of chess and cards." Neydah insisted.
"Yes my lord." Everyone said.
"Now…Despite the fact that our plans have been changed we will continue with some objectives. Alex is your objective going well?" Neydah asked.
"Yes my lord. My father hasn't suspected a thing and he will be assassinated as planned and I will assume control as King of the Minecraftians of course there is the council but I am sure that I will persuade them." Alex said.
"Excellent…I will need to recruit 6 more people for our cause but I am sure that we will be fine for the time being. So this meeting has been concluded for now until I figure out what to do. All of you are dismissed and can continue on with your plans. I will rest for the time being so I hope you will all have a wonderful evening." Neydah said before turning his back.
He soon walked off the table and ascended the stairs while his colleges began to leave. He soon stopped when something entered his mind and he turned to face everyone one.
"One more thing." Neydah said.
Everyone in the room immediately stopped and looked up at Neydah who stared at all of them.
"Zellos and Tira. I want both of you to Abduct the Princess of Demons." Neydah requested.
"Is there a reason for this master?" They both said in unison.
"I believe that we can "Use" The Prince of Demons for our own purposes." Neydah replied.
"It shall be done my lord." They replied in unison.
"Michael, Raike, Frost, and Marrel. I want you to stay with Alex until his father is assassinated. From there you are to stay with him until I give you the next phase of my plan. While with him you may do anything you wish to enjoy your stay. Just don't blow his cover." Neydah said.
"Understood my lord." They replied.
"Finally…Hydra and Selena. I want you to go to the graveyard of Minecraftian and bring me a view bodies listed on this scroll." Neydah said.
He then snapped his fingers and a scroll appeared on Selena's hands. Both Hydra and Selena took a glimpse at the writing on the paper and nodded at Neydah saying that they will accept it.
"Karen, Kratos, and Allison. You already have your objectives and I expect you to fulfill them. Failure is not an option my loyal subjects if the deed is not done then don't expect to come back to me. You will regret it." Neydah said with a fake smile.
"Yes Lord Neydah. We will not fail you." Everyone said with loyalty.
Everyone left the conference room leaving Neydah alone. The young Demon smiled and giggled like a little boy before he spoke to himself.
"The world will belong to Shadowlings. Yami was a fool to lead them into becoming peaceful and neutral beings who have power but he is no longer here after what I did with him. As the new prince I will lead them into a new world that we will rule with only darkness. Those who oppose us will die and Shadowlings will be the true rulers of this world and the weak will die by our hands." Neydah chuckled.
Author's Note: Here we are. All the plans set up and all the events that will unfold. This may get intense for our hero's. Anyways this is going to be my last fast update. Once school starts updates will be slow. Now you're all wondering what Shadowlings are. Allow me to explain.
Shadowlings: Shadowlings are creatures who are a true nightmare. They are either Demons who have gone beyond their way to kill their own kind and sucked their very souls. Doing so has turned them into ravenous beasts known as Shadowlings. They can also have been normal peaceful people or mobs who have died and have been corrupted by their Regrets, Sorrow, Agony, Hate, and Rage thus turning them into Shadowlings. Shadowlings dwell in the darkest depths of the Nether that light never shines. Of course the Shadowlings have been sealed thanks to a peace between the Kings of Minecraftia and the Prince of the Shadowlings known as Yami. Shadowlings thus became a secret or a myth to the next generation and thus this race has become forgotten or so it will be.
So yeah. Shadowlings are going to be a real threat to our hero's but Shadowlings aren't overpowered and what not. They are tough to kill but they can die if taken severe damage. Anyways…Agony's sister will be kidnapped, Plans being revealed and hero's being caught in the middle of it. How will this affect our main protagonists in anyway. Stay tuned and find out.
