The Black Rose was one of the most prestigious restaurants in the city. Iamthey, taking observation of Matthew-Kaine's symbols, decided it would be the ideal place to wait. The room was plush. The floor was a thick red carpeting, the walls wood-paneled, the lighting was a dimmed glow; to the normal eye you would only be able to make shadows. Iamthey, at one time, had been a powerful warrior, just like Dogbert and his staff. However, that was all over now. After the war, the leadership took on the role of politics, and left fighting to those who could afford the risk. Over time, their powers diminished and it became tiring at times to simply teleport oneself. Fortunately, Iamthey still possessed a higher sense of sight, and was able to clearly make out faces with in the room. A waiter approached his table from behind. "Sir, a fellow asked me to give you this; he said to tell you that he was from the Council."
"Alright, thank you." The waiter walked away leaving Iamthey with a large envelope. He flipped it over in his hand, on the envelope was the seal of a rose in black wax. Opening the envelope revealed the following:

I would very much like to be discussing the situation in greater detail with you, however the Black Rose is not the place. To your left is a team of assigns that are targeting you. It appears that the Emperor is getting nervous about your knowledge. Leave now, and lead them into the alleyway behind the restaurant.
Sincerely,
Matthew Kaine

Attempting not to draw attention to himself, Iamthey left the tip on the table, and made his way outside. Trailing behind him were the several members of Omega. Omega was a dark secret; this selection of hitters seemed very ironic to Iamthey, who had been instrumental in the agency's creation. He had hand-selected and trained most of them himself. Although they were not immortal demigods like Dogbert and Iamthey, they were the best killers around. What seemed even more ironic is the fact that Iamthey could not be killed. As he walked outside, he oriented himself for battle. He no longer carried his sword (scimitar), and his rifle for political reasons, and common sense told him not to as well. In this city, there was no real reason for weapons of that capacity. No, instead he carried two desert eagles and a small knife that could double as a throwing knife. As he walked around the building, he slowly removed one of his desert eagles, and kept it concealed at his side. The night are began to gust, and the soldiers behind him quickened in pace. Walking into the ally, he flipped around and emptied a shot into the head of the hitter on the right. At the same time a second man slit the throat of the left. "Greetings, Iamthey." It was Matthew-Kaine.
"Yes thank you, It appears you were correct, Dogbert has been lying to me."
"Yes, I find that odd that he would keep one of his close advisors in the dark. I can understand the public's not needing to be aware, but his Head of Council." Matthew-Kaine replied, shaking his head.
"What do you suggest should be done; he has denied it up until now, and after the hit group there is no real way he could claim his innocence, with that. Check their pockets." Iamthey requested.
"I already did." said Matthew-Kaine, handing Iamthey a thick packet of paper. "The hit order is among that collaboration of papers."
"Very well, I am going to take care of this personally." Iamthey stated, and then disappeared into the night.

Summoning up his energy, Iamthey flew into dust on the wind. He knew that there is one person he must speak to before he confronted Dogbert for the second time. That person was Count Confusion. Iamthey appeared inside the Council Hall and entered his chambers. Quickly, he changed into a suit of camouflage and fully armed himself with his rifle, desert eagles, and his scimitar. He again turned into an invisible stream of dust and left the city.

The Separatists leader, Count Confusion, had an unusual day. But then again, what days are normal now? He entered into his spacious office at the center of his HQ, a large subterranean bunker. The floor was tiled with black marble, the walls were blood red, and at the center sat a semi-modern, black marble desk. There was poor lighting due to the lack of energy, most of which was generated 5 floors bellow, causing the corners to be shadowed. As Confusion sat down he heard a familiar voice from one of the corners. "You were right, Dogbert has been lying to the council, to his Hierarchs, and even to me."
"I knew you would be back here sooner or later," Confusion said with a slight smirk on his face. "He has been playing you sense the beginning. My suggestion: kill him. End his miserable life now, and claim HA for yourself."
"No, there must be some explanation."
"There is. His greed; his lust for power have driven since he took power."
"YOU LIE!" Iamthey yelled as he drew his sword and swung in a wide arc, slicing the Count's head off of his body. However, Confusion was not a mortal; his body began to regenerate. As he did, Iamthey dematerialized, and immediately returned to the city, just outside Dogbert's main Living area. He was now enraged; his clothing had transformed from the HA army uniform to the robes of deity. The robes were blood red, and there was a white cape hanging off his right arm. He was now at his full level of power. Removing his sword, he smashed through the heavily reinforced door of Dogbert's chamber.
Taking out his knife, he threw it just past Dogbert's hand. "All this time, all this time you have had me living in a fantasy world, all of us." Iamthey flamed, as he stormed up to the Emperor's desk. "You have kept us in the dark; you even tried to have me killed. I have met Confusion. I know you are lying; now explain the situation!"
"All I can offer is explanation for my actions; nothing more. You want to know why; I suppose you must know. But first of all you must understand, Iamthey, the public is not ready to hear this, the Council is not willing to hear it. This must stay between us. Understand?"
"I understand your need to keep the public in the dark, but why your advisor?"
"DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"
"Yes, I understand - the truth that you reveal will not leave this room."
