I sat in there...keeping quiet as the chattering continued. This was all that was going on...chattering. I had thought if I kept my silence, then things would get moving again...I was painfully wrong. Growing tired of all the drabble I finally stood up in my seat, ready to give orders myself. We would have to put this in action if it was to be carried out. Especially since I was feeling a sense of urgency. Urgency to move on Oblivion.
"LISTEN UP!" I began. "Talking about these matters will do NOTHING. We must take action!" I saw Ximh's head perk up...the fool had been SLEEPING. Though I suppose I couldn't really blame him. Meetings were nothing like battle, yet they were necessary to a point. THIS meeting however had gone on for far too long. "From what is listed on the agenda we will most definitely have to split up and carry out our duties accordingly. I have a general idea on just how to do this. The First Item--A Rescue party for those trapped in Oblivion."
"I don't see the point..." Ximh began
"Then maybe you weren't listening to Tanex. Sleeping perhaps?" I quipped. "STRONG or not...they are still a viable power source for Xraktos's machination. We cannot afford to have HIM trigger it, therefore we must capture his fodder. Do you understand?" Ximh fell silent. "Now, as for just what WE'LL need to obtain in order to power the machine ourselves...I'm sure you were informed before I returned. We've managed to create successful doubles. Perfect substitutes, and also viable power sources. This also helps to cancel out the third order of business....but I would actually like to propose we don't cancel it completely...just it's intentions shall change. Instead of capturing other nobodies for fodder...I propose we recruit them to use in the battle. There is always a need for expendable allies..." At this I smirked somewhat.
Everyone was silent...perhaps still in shock over how I'd suddenly taken charge. Looking to Tanex, I couldn't get over the overwhelmingly large smirk he was wearing. He was enjoying this...as though he'd planned it himself. pfft. I looked from side to side, then continued. "Triskix, You are Second in Command of Oblivion. You were the one to recruit and look after all those now trapped in its dungeon...trapped by YOUR Master...therefore I believe it is YOUR duty to assemble the rescue party and lead them yourself. YOU shall bring salvation to your subordinates. Wouldn't that work well with your 'order' pyro?"
"I-" Triskix began but was cut off by Tanex.
"RaXi makes an interesting point. Plus, it's not like you'll be going alone Triskix...you have your pick of your elite after all, as well as your fellow apprentices. Is there a problem?" Tanex asked, his grin all but gone. Triskix didn't respond. He looked back at me. "Continue RaXi, this is quite entertaining."
I rolled my eyes, but continued nonetheless. "If we ARE to recruit this Xerebus...I have decided I will not do anything to stand in the way of it. But for something like that to come to fruition, action must be taken. A Small party should go and negotiate with him. I do not trust to leave one or two to this, therefore I've already a basic plan. As you stated Tanex, members of Zero would best blend in, therefore it's only obvious that You, Marlex and Xeros should ALL go. Yet this was suggested by Nyx, therefore it has also become HER duty to see it through as well. And because I trust none of you to protect her, I too shall accompany you. Have you an objection to this?"
"Actually, I was more than 100% sure that's how you'd work things out." Tanex giggled and clapped. "Brilliantly executed...though a little late I must say. I thought you would've broken down long before now RaXi."
Rolling my eyes once more I took my seat. Leaning back hard and propping my head up with my arm. I looked to Nyx, a new expression of concern on her face. I had known she would somehow force herself in though...at least this way I'd be going with her to protect her...possibly even from her own past. It was the least I could do to repay her for all she'd done for me in the past. Keeping my secret safe...and not once blaming me....for anything.
"Well there you are. Triskix will head up the rescue party, we shall infiltrate Zero and discuss a truce with Xerebus, leaving all who are left behind to ready themselves for battle. But who should be given the task of recruiting these 'expendable allies' as you so put it RaXi?" Tanex recapped.
Waving my hand in front of me, "It matters not. An Elite, an Apprentice, I care not. Those who remain behind can decide for themselves. But I believe this adjourns the meeting...with our duties given, we should each prepare to depart."
With that, everyone began to rise. Triskix's decisions as well as who would hunt for new recruits could be made outside the meeting hall, therefore, we all began to head our separate ways.
I portaled to the bottom of my chair. "Aidex, Xyta, come with me."
"B-But what about Anamx?" Aidex asked cautiously, looking to the still unconscious boy.
"Don't worry about him...he's in good hands..." I stated looking up to Marlex. I nodded my head and he gave me a slight smile and then I stepped through a portal to the lab; followed closely by the two girls.

hehe, I'll leave it here for now. YES! I did it...I ended the meeting. Happy now ppls?! hahaha...I even divided tasks. >:} I dunno who wants to take the miscellaneous duties left, cuz I didn't know if Lex was going with Tris, or if Xemm, Kyxsha, Rex or Ximh wanted to hunt down the recruits, So I just left that all open. :) Probably wanna split em up. Half go with Tris and the other half go on the hunt. LOL There's also the apprentices that can go too. Well all except Tanex, Marlex, and Xeros that is. XD
Well then! Go ahead and cont.! Hope you enjoyed this, I'll continue my part soon ;)
OH YEAH...CELEBRATE! I CAUGHT UPPPPPPP!!!!!! WOOT *dances*
