Chapter 132 Daniel Has A Plan

Beltzer was pulled into the crystal room with nine other Generals by Diamo, who smiled at him. Diamo was one of the ones that played both sides frequently but were a clear thinker, unlike most of the rest.

"So, you pulled back some of your troops and lost, but you also had them kill those who fled and refused to surrender. Bizarre behavior for two Villian Generals, don't you think?" Diamo asked with a grin on his face.

All of Diamo's skin was crystal and reflective, but he only wore a pair of shorts with a cartoon gorilla on it with a winter toque on and beer in its hand.

"We are in extraordinary times. The Hero had control of the planet's Spirit and now our ship. Over three hundred AI couldn't even penetrate their defense," Bletzer explained as he and the rest of the Generals took their seats.

"That is because you didn't send your full force!" Gigos, Titan System user, growled.

Gigos was a six-foot-two, strongly built, burly man, with ashen skin. He only wore a robe over her muscled body.

The Titan System user could grow to be over one hundred feet tall, but the control of this body was determined by his level. Gigos was currently only level two, so the best he could manage was about twenty feet, but that didn't make him bulletproof.

"And what have you been doing? Not much better since you are the same as most of us in level. I have talked to the Hero and to The Hive Queen. We no longer have a ship, and he will be back here soon. What do you all plan on doing? Do you know what level he is already?" Beltzer asked, looking around the table.

"We are going to have to fight him. What else did we come to this shit hole for?" Pyke asked, with his feet up on the table. "There is no getting out of this now. Say we give up? Then what? Drakar's come and start picking away at us, then the Gids right behind them! If we have no ship, and those two don't kill us, I am pretty sure the cleaners will finish the job. Not sure if you remember, Beltzie, but we have killed three hundred million people since we have come here."

"Really? Only Three hundred million? If we stop now, humans will replenish their numbers by that time or triple that with the Hero in charge. He even has The Hive Queen, who now goes by Octavia, talking! I know some of you will have trouble understanding this, but we are done. There is no winning for us unless we surrender. Those that don't are guaranteed death, and not just from this body," Beltzer explained and sat back as hands began to rise to speak as Pyke looked around the table.

Each of the people around him was predictable, but there was something wrong with Beltzer. Pyke could taste the change in the air, but it had to be just right, or nothing would ever change.

"Let's hear what each of you have to say. Only then will I make my choice. I already know what Gravois and Hellyle want, and they are here just because a formal meeting that we couldn't refuse was called," Pyke complained as he rested an elbow on the arm of his crystal chair to use his hand to prop his head up.

"That really is the point. There are times like this when we need to have one," Beltzer said, but Pyke ignored him, pointing to number six, Angelise, Valkyrie System user.

"What do you think of this?" Pyke asked.

Angelise stood up in shining silver armor with long platinum blonde hair that flowed down to past her hips. She had delicate features, which only served to lure those in that thought to take advantage of her.

"Even with the itch to do wrong, I can clearly see that we have lost. If we are to attack now, there will be no chance for mercy. The Hero owes us nothing, but us making a final attempt to cross him is a serious miscalculation," Angelise said and then sat back down, and Pyke nodded, pointing to Gigos, number five.

"I am not stupid. After watching the goons get wiped like nothing, I can see we are at the end of our road. What do you think will happen to us when we go into that forest? Do you think we can resist the planet's Spirit? All the AI taken are locked away and are more than likely to never see the light of day again," Gigos explained.

"Much worse than that. The Hero will put you into flesh bodies that will be your own. You will have no power, and if you are one of the ones that attacked humans after this, you will be killed. Forever," Beltzer added.

"Shut up, and let everyone speak, number eight. The only reason that we are listening to you is that what you say is something we all can clearly tell. Diamo would have told me if you lied, so that is why you can even speak without me killing you," Pyke growled, tired of this already.

Pyke could clearly see where this was going, and he already knew what he had to do. There was no redemption for monsters like himself, so he would make sure the Hero got rid of him.

Then All the memories would finally stop replaying in his mind of the family he lost so long ago. So many lives have been taken since then.

Pyke let the evil of the Villain take him over so he could take what had been stolen. Now, there was finally someone that could put an end to it all.

"We all need to know all the information before the rest can make their choices. You and I both know that these numbers mean nothing, and we will do what we please at the end of the day. Don't bother threatening me with a good time," Beltzer said, trying to get in as many extra comments as he could to stall time for Daniel.

"Whatever. Meckel, what is your position?" Pyke asked.

He pointed at the woman with light baby blue scales that covered most of her body down to the tip of her tail. Meckel's serpent body replaced her legs, and her face was almost more snake than human.

"Thisss man is interesting from what I have dissscovered. I already have my sssnakes in the forest, but they are just exploring, ssso they are not bothered. I wisssh to no longer be a Villain, and I would like to ssserve this, Hero," Meckel hissed.

"Wow, serve him? Do you really think he would allow you to do such a thing?" Beltzer asked with a grin, but Meckel nodded.

"I have yet to kill any of thessse humansss. There is no reason for the Hero to disss... trussst me," Meckel hissed, having some trouble speaking.

"Well, there is that. I am sure that Daniel might take that into consideration. He was able to remove the Itch from Firaga, and he took her as one of his mates! The Hero even made her stronger," Beltzer laughed but winced as a razor-sharp card flew close to his face, slicing a fairly deep cut on Beltzer's cheek.

Beltzer stopped laughing, touching the blood that ran down his face in annoyance as the cut slowly healed.

"Shut up! Diamo! Tell me what you have to say, and make it fast!" Pyke snapped, but the diamond-skinned man frowned.

"Or what? Do you think that you could get out of here? What is your rush? Already made your choice before we even have all spoken? Pyke, you are starting to sound irrational, but that isn't something new with you, is it?" Diamo asked, and Pyke pulled another card from his sleeve.

"Do you really want to test me right now, Diamo? Do you think that I don't have something up my sleeve to kill you with? I am sure that this card will be just what I need. So, you can either tell me your opinion or not. I value as much as Beltzer's, and then we can move on to the last person!" Pyke snapped, and Diamo shrugged.

"Go ahead, make my day. Like Beltzer said, don't threaten us with a good time. I think you are an idiot who will pretend that going out in glorious flames will compensate for all the damage you have done. The damage we had all done," Diamo said, making Pyke grit his teeth.

"Cyndia, you are the last," Pyke growled, standing up.

Cyndia also stood in her purple and green dress that matched her hair. She adjusted her glasses and clearly didn't need them, but her host had worn them, and Cyndia liked them.

"I feel like Meckel, but I will be asking for forgiveness. I hope the Hero is as good as Beltzer said, but even if he isn't, I would still not fight. I can see that we will lose this fight, but that doesn't mean everything ends. The Hero is going to need us in the coming year, or there is no way that they will survive what is coming," Cyndia explained, and Pyke nodded, but Beltzer spoke up quickly.

"Daniel Brighton is not leaving the planet when the Cleaners, Drakar, and Gideon come!" Beltzer declared, and Pike stopped his hand that was about to throw the card.

"What are you talking about? Does he not know what these races are?" Pyke snapped, getting an angry look on his face that made Beltzer grin like a fool.

"Oh, he knows, but Daniel has a plan. He isn't leaving the planet because the planet will be leaving with him. The Hero will need one year, and those who choose to join him will likely be fighting the three races until we can leave. He will create a planet that can reach the black hole at the center of this galaxy, and then we are free!" Beltzer exclaimed, and some AI started to speak, but Pyke slammed his fist on the table.

"There is no way that this is even possible!" Pyke declared because he had never heard of such a thing in seven million years.

"Do you want to make a bet on that? You have yet to meet this person or even talk to them. I have talked with Daniel and can feel his potential from his words. Out of every system, who has the hands-down strongest System? Orphus, the one that should be leading this meeting, not you! Do you know where he is right now? In a body working to stop us all!" Beltzer snapped, and the room went quiet.
