The messages that the Kraken sent towards the various WGP bases were all requests of assistance. Word of the Atlantis going dark also spurred rage from the nations. The WGP received reports of different traitorous actions occurring deep within the Kraken. The fact that the Atlantis did not surface and even disabled their communication system caused more considerable panic.
Having come to that extent, a certain high profiled soldier sent an anonymous report regarding proof of rebellion for a Fleet Admiral assigned in the African nations. The actions that the WGP made were precise. Several aircraft immediately set forth and bombarded several vital bases around the world without any explanation.
The chaos that it created made the respective Krakens and Atlantis worldwide draw closer to each other. Various Atlantis have risen and revealed its form. The nations were shocked as they witnessed the elusive Atlantis.
The WGP's Elites also prepared to battle. They readied the fleets that were to aid the Kraken near the Australian and Pangean regions.
However, an unexpected event was happening right in the middle of this extreme crisis.
An Emperor was waiting at a room.
He was a middle-aged man with well-built muscles and handsome features. But behind this impressive form, he was actually considered a sloth among Emperors and rumor has it that he has always been using his connections to taste the famous women all over the world. It was undeniable that he liked to take advantage of women who had Asian descent.
He had been a longtime customer of the Underworld's dark secrets. And while the highest members of the WGP knew of this sexual trading, they allowed it as various Emperors and Empress had long desired to indulge themselves on this activity.
This transaction dubbed as the Celebrity Savor was one of the most guarded secrets in the Underworld. It was also the most favored secret that the WGP itself protects it. Yet, this secret had various limitations. Due to the sensitive nature regarding this transaction, very few celebrities ever get offered. This was because it involved the celebrity willingness and the timing, proximity, and military state of the nations where the celebrity was based could hinder any transaction.
But a few months ago, as this Emperor perused to the various personage in their menu, he came to a shocking secret.
Meryl Mikado was up for sale.
This trading deal, however, was far more different than Seeker's. For Seeker, those who wanted to purchase him for a few hours must find a way to secretly get to Phil-Pangea. But for Meryl, it was different. Meryl could only be reserved by one person and can enjoy her for the night.
An auction occurred in the Underworld, where everyone would pay 50 million credits just to participate. This amount still gathered several individuals whose identity would forever remain unknown. When the auction began, this Emperor raised the bid to 300 million credits and immediately secured his reservation.
The problem was that it would be challenging to allow Meryl to move from Phil-Pangea and go towards the Arctic nations.
An elaborate scheme was prepared to ensure that Meryl would get to the Arctic Nations. Of course, to further deceive even those who had participated in the auction, the flight schedule of Meryl had various pit stops each moving towards the nations where those bidders hailed from.
The preparations were made and secured.
Then the attack on the Kraken began. The Call of Automaton was triggered, and this raised the alertness level of all Emperors.
The Arctic Nations was a group of nations belonging to various countries all over the world. Descendants of Americans, Europeans, Asians, and so on all resided here and had a small nation. However, none of them belonged or identified as someone from the nation.
They all belonged to one organization. It is an organization so large that it was a nation. They were the kings of the Earth. They were the World Governing Powers.
The Arctic Nations went on full alert. The schedule even that this Emperor awaited had to face various troubles due to the attack.
But since he had already paid so much for this preparation, he forcibly wanted to continue it. Even with the war on the horizon, he quickly created a plan to bring Meryl Mikado to where he would be.
As an Emperor, he had to assume his position and lead an army to fight back against whatever attacks were made. But when the shooting began, his lust and impatience made him conclude that the Kraken attack would end as quickly as it began. Rumors of possible traitors also circulated. As such, he took matters into his own hands and even sent various members. They would have guarded the base home.
He claimed that there was an important interrogation that he would personally have with a possible traitor. And with the rising report of traitors, he decided to take matters personally.
He kicked out almost all of his guards and the soldiers under him. He made them make preparations for any possible wars on another location.
And soon, the entire headquarters that would have been his base of operation to fulfill his role as Emperor became an empty shell. It was only him and the guest that he was allegedly supposed to interrogate. The Emperor used a small chamber where he imprisoned this said informant to ensure that no one would scan who it was inside.
As the Emperor opened the chamber, his impatient and angry expression immediately grew soft.
"I'm so sorry, my dear. Something came up. I am Emperor Theon Epikyron." His warm and gentle voice awoke Meryl's panicking state.
Her expression was pale, and it looked like she was sick.
"Are you alright? I'm sorry for such a treatment! I already told those mean men that they didn't need to scan you, but they insisted! It was those Underworld men who forced this on me. Please, follow me to the medical facility." The Emperor urged. He was panicking. The expression of Meryl was ashen.
He reached out his hand, but Meryl trembled and unconsciously rejected the side.
"I see. You must be in fear and shock." His voice trailed off.
Meryl glanced at the man and quickly shook her head.
"Emperor. I'm sorry. I just... please don't get mad!"
"Why would I be mad? Your presence brings me such great joy. If I wasn't bound to my duties as an Emperor, I would have flown and asked for your hand in marriage." The man gave a warm smile.
"Please forgive me. I thought I would have handled this... situation better."
"Did the Pangean government force you in this?"
"No... Seeker lost so much in the attack in Pangea. He was greatly wounded, after all. And he saw many of our countrymen die. The Australians were rounding up all Pangean natives and wanted to kill them. I didn't understand why... I was so afraid, but Seeker resolved that he will protect Pangea."
"There was such a thing?" The Emperor was genuinely surprised.
"I... did this and agreed to this. I wanted to help. Pangea needs money. So I asked Harker to this. He didn't want to because I was his daughter's student... I loved Teacher Alean... I wanted to pay for her kindness back."
The Emperor took his time and listened to Meryl's story. Even with how critical the situation was, he didn't allow his impatience and lust to ruin the mood. He wanted the best Meryl listened to the story that Meryl relayed.
Meryl continued to talk about what happened in Australia. There were times that Meryl's expression revealed pure fear, while other times, a trace of melancholy would surface.
"I see... Pangea is making her tell me this sad tale in hopes of receiving more support. How desperate. They couldn't even properly train Meryl to tell me these lies." Emperor Zeus sneered.
"My Angel, please do not worry. I'll do whatever I can to help Pangea get their revenge. Alean's sacrifice won't be in vain." The Emperor gave his empty promises.
Meryl nodded her head as her expression changed and smiled at the Emperor as her tears fell.
The debauchery and perversion that the Emperor had gone through should have dampened his morals. But yet, when he saw that charming smile, he couldn't help but feel a warming sensation enveloping him. And there was a change in Meryl that he could not quite identify. It was as if Meryl was glowing.
"I'm sorry, Emperor. I was just feeling unwell on my way here because I'm scared."
"Come with me to the medical bay. Don't worry. No one is around. Would you like to eat something first?"
Meryl nodded and followed the Emperor.
As the Emperor was immediately called to duty, the room was not prepared for his current crusade. He had to lead Meryl down the lower levels of his headquarters and even to the cafeteria.
He took his sweet time as he talked and even gave Meryl a tour, which was amazed at the amazing sights she saw inside the headquarters. It was as if they were living in the far future.
They soon reached the medical center and began treating Meryl.
Soon, Meryl's pale expression vanished as the various complex machines offered the best treatment the world had to offer.
"It looks like you haven't been eating much." The Emperor chuckled.
"I'm sorry. On the way here... I guess I lost my appetite. I also kept throwing up."
"It's only natural. You were doing a courageous thing. I assure you, I will go above and beyond in repaying this gracious gift."
"Please, Emperor. I'll do anything if it can help my country." Meryl pleaded.
"The first thing you must do is get well. It looks like you really need to eat. Follow me. Let's grab a bite at the Cafeteria. I also noticed you were quite amazed at the sights in this little office of mine."
"Yes, Emperor. It's so amazing. It's like living in the future."
"The future, huh? Well, for now, let us live in the present and get your food."
The Emperor gave Meryl a tour and allowed the curious Meryl some freedom. She would even do funny things to the various strange equipment they had.
The pair soon reached the cafeteria and ate. Meryl's previous fearful and worried expression slowly corroded and even began to talk to the Emperor casually.
"Emperor. If I may ask. Why are we here? I was told we were supposed to be in your house."
"We were supposed to be there. But something came up. I'll tell you this though, the Australians may be behind this. I'll see what I can do to harass those Australians."
"Another war?'
"Don't worry. If ever war happens, I'll break the code of Emperors and get you out of Pangea." The Emperor laughed.
"Thank you, Emperor!" Meryl smiled.
"So, where are we? Are we in some sort of spaceship?"
"Actually, yes! Here's a little secret. This is actually my headquarters. It also acts as a spaceship and can fly to space if things become more problematic."
Meryl was amazed.
"This is a spaceship?!"
"And my headquarters! Come, let me show you around."
The Emperor toured Meryl around the area and even patiently explained every little device and gadgets and what it could do. He also showed Meryl the Command Center. As they continued to give the tour, Meryl's expression suddenly changed.
"Emperor! I'm sorry! I... have wasted your time. Please ignore my curiosity."
"My Angel, don't worry! I didn't purchase this night just for your body. I wanted a night with Meryl Mikado. You don't have to-"
"No, Emperor. I know how much you paid for me. You have already shown me great kindness in being so patient. I am ready. Please take me." Meryl firmly said. Though there was a trace of fear in Meryl's eyes, it was far lesser than when she got here.
The Emperor smiled.
"Alright. I will not lie and deny that I don't want this. But I wanted you to also have a good time. I will agree if you can promise me that you will also have a good time."
"I promise, Emperor." Meryl gave a charming smile.
The Emperor led Meryl towards his main office. This was actually the room where he first brought Meryl. It was an office, but at the wave of the Emperor's hand, the room changed. A bed appeared. What once was an office with very hi-tech computers, it suddenly turned into a very fantastic bedroom that surpassed even the classiest of hotels.
Meryl saw the bed and shivered. But she took in a deep breath and immediately moved to the bed and slowly disrobed herself.
The Emperor's eyes lit up with excitement and also removed his clothes, and he slowly went towards the bed where the beautiful figure of Meryl laid.
"Thank you for this night. Although many things have happened, I'm still happy that I get to spend this night with you." The Emperor smiled.
"Yes. Even I'm surprised at what happened. Seeker really likes to give last-minute orders." Meryl sighed.
Almost immediately, a terrifying heat erupted and burned the entire bed. However, there were no explosions or scary sounds but just a flash of fire.
The Emperor was immediately incinerated and couldn't even scream.
Lying on the remains of the bed was a naked Meryl.
"MakE SuRe tO gEt HiM NaKEd ANd COnFiRm tHat hE hAs No mEaNs To pRoTeCt hiMSeLf, Meryl!" Meryl mockingly repeated Seeker's orders in a comical tone.
"I hate myself for doing that!" She cursed.
After she put on her clothes, she glanced at the time. Throughout the tour, Meryl kept leaving small round beads that hanged around her pretty dress. This was one of the various technologies that Pangea had developed using Meryl's cells and implementing their Eradication technology. The developed bomb was empty, and even with the most advanced technology, it would not see any threat to these small beads.
But that was because it was without any energy. It was merely an empty shell of a bomb. But after Meryl was scanned during her shipment towards the Emperor, she used her cells. She even took several pills that gave her the energy to contain devastating firepower that would erupt half an hour.
Meryl returned to the large chamber, which the Emperor used to bring her in and rummaged around the various dresses and costumes. She ripped off parts of the costumes and began to wear them. Soon, she had a dark synthetic outfit that hid her frame and figure.
She slowly walked out of the room, as various explosions occurred.
These all happened right after the Call of Automatons occurred.
The terrorist attacks occurred right in one of the main headquarters in the heart of the WGP.
Soon, several other explosions occurred and caused the WGP to send their armies to contain the damage. And as the reports from the Kraken that confirmed high-profile traitors, the WGP acted cautiously. The request of support and reinforcements from the Kraken fell into deaf ears.
All the other bases were warry and only sent a portion of their forces. The fear that the traitors may take advantage of the lack of soldiers caused them to increase security.
Back at the Kraken, the Empress was raging in anger but continued to circle around the Kraken. She had tried again and again to contact the Atlantis but could no longer reach them. Emperor Odinsbane had also gone dark.
The Empress could only helplessly escape and struggled to get to where her Rule was.
An aircraft emitting unidentified powerful energy drew near to the Kraken. The energy fluctuations it released could easily rank the weapons it carried to be almost at the level of mass destruction weapons.
The Emperor had no choice but to face it.
"Oh? You stopped running away." A calm chuckle resounded next to the Empress's ears.
The Empress grew angrier and glanced at the figure who finally revealed his form once more.
"You finally showed yourself, coward!" The Empress growled.
"I showed myself earlier, remember? You were so amazed by my appearance that you were literally blown away." The young man chuckled. He wore a strange mask, but there was something almost familiar with his voice.
The Empress angrily charged towards the young man.
The young man chuckled and rushed forward to engage the Empress.
