A wide hall inside the building was prepared. A meeting of great secrecy was happening in the lowest levels of this building and was guarded with platoons of soldiers and Exosleketons.

The building was the headquarters of a major corporate enterprise that had recently switched in making military weapons. With Unlocked Industries' appearance, the technology they created now had various versions. This corporation created a weaker version of Unlocked Industries' 'Living Metal' technology. And so, many nations sought this corporation. But as it grew, many powers were fighting for ownership of this corporation.

And then, Emperors got involved.

Three large thrones sat on the hall with three disgruntled people of power.

Two women and a met were angrily demanding that the mysterious seller appear.

"Where is he?!" The woman shouted and threatened.

Around them were four armed Exoskeletons that served as their bodyguard. One of the Emperors even had a Supreme Exoskeleton.

"Presider is not yet available. A man of his business doesn't have time to deal with you." A beautiful woman stood and announced. 

"I don't care! Call him! The more time we waste here, the faster the value of this metal decreases! Unlocked Industries have created a new metal that is not only alive, but it has a unique compression technology that allows it to stretch! Are you waiting for them to produce another miraculous item before we get this meeting started?"

"Call your Presider now. As the Empress has stated, we Emperors are in a difficult position now. This meeting is a secret even to other Emperors! That new metal will make the WGP contact us and force us to move! Call your boss!"

"Your name... Pioneer Madelyne. To think that someone like you would simply be a Pioneer." The other woman spoke.

"One China was never your home, was it? In any case, Pioneer Madelyne. You need to get this meeting started. Otherwise, we will leave."

"Oh? You remember my former identity. Of course not. I am not born and raised in One China. You could say that I'm from the Underwater Cities. And you misunderstand. I can't call Presider Gordon." Madelyne smiled.

"Presider Pridgeon is not my boss. I work for a different Presider. Presider Gordon is the one who met and called you, but my boss is... negotiating with him." The woman smiled again.

At those words, the three were horrified, and their hearts raced.

"What?!" The woman was shocked.

Suddenly all her Exoskeletons raised their arms and prepared to attack Madelyne.

"Please. My forces outmatch your current military might." Madelyne laughed.

A powerful force field appeared before her, and a strange rip in the space appeared overhead, and several arms of Exoskeletons appeared from these rips in space. It broke out of the void and aimed at everyone.

"This technology!" One of the Emperors identified it.

"It's the same technology that the Moon had! The one that appeared in Egypt! It's this technology!" One of the Emperors panicked and forced her Rule to cover itself with the metal shield to prepare for combat.

"Presider Pridgeon sends his greetings. Please wait while Presider Pridgeon and Presider Gordon finish their negotiation. We are not here to fight you or kill you. Were here to strike a deal." Madelyne smiled.

"Strike a deal?"

"Well, we have been revealed. And war is coming. So we really don't have much choice. The problem is land, resources, and manpower. If we were to create a headquarters and bases for this war, we would need people. And so, we decided to use people like you. The WGP." Madelyne explained.

"What war?" The Emperor asked.

"I can't say." Madelyne laughed.

"Why now? And why are you Presiders fighting? What exactly is your goal?" One of the Empress asked.

"You wouldn't understand if I told you."

"What is the goal? We can help you! Do not underestimate us Emperors! The techs that we found from that battle have already brought a specific direction to the technologies this past month! We are always breaking through new sciences! If you give us your techs..." The impatient and demanding Empress shouted and threatened.

"How many of us do you think there are? Indeed, you guys would have been useful if it was a few months ago. But of course, back then, none of you Emperors had any intention to ally with others because you overestimated yourself. So why else would you three betray the WGP if not because of fear?"

The three emperors could say nothing. It was indeed, as she stated.

"And just when you guys would become ideal people to carry out our plans, a Presider War has been issued! So you guys now have a lot of options open to you. We are just the first." Madelyne laughed.

"More of you? Presider Wars?! What are you talking about?"

"You'll have to wait for Presider Pridgeon and Presider Gordon to finish their meeting." Madelyne laughed.

The Emperors were trying their best to send the recorded messages to their family. The current scenario didn't play well for them. With the technologies available, they knew that one way or the other, they wouldn't leave this place as alive as they were. They would either be mind-controlled, or killed.

"Don't bother sending. Of course, you can't see it, but you all are in another dimension." Madelyne laughed.

The maps and scanners of the three were no longer working. The Emperors initiated the protocols to equip their Rules in preparation to fight. Origin Energy began to leak out of their Rules.

"Ah, yes! Origin. Even us Pioneers loved to have that tech of yours! It's so mysterious! Which Presiders gave you the drafts for Throne tech? We all believed it to be a coincidence, but you are using an inferior Throne Technology." Madelyne laughed.

"Laugh while you can! Don't be so arrogant that you think your moon can stop us! We've studied that battle, and even now, we three can do our own Invoking right here!" The male Emperor shouted.

"I'm trembling in fear." Madelyn mocked as a strange figure emerged around her. It came from the fourth dimension, and it began to form around her.

"Presider Pridgeon has perfected Emerging Technology, and now, his control and how he sends these techs are perfected! The data from Shakstress, who attempted to forcibly teleport, was what he needed! So try and fight me!" 

A Throne appeared around her, and she sat down comfortably over it.

The three Emperors were shocked at what they saw. It didn't even use nanotechnology, but it clearly 'formed' out of thin air.

"Sit down and be quiet!" Madelyn ordered.

"Quite a display you did here." A casual voice was heard.

"Who?!" Madelyn turned as she sensed the fourth dimension bending.

"What?! That altered more than just the fourth dimension!" She realized the technology present.

Fog appeared out of nowhere, and a man's figure could be seen behind that.

He was vaping to create the fog. Yet despite the odd method, he still looked so cool.

Cliff Fangwood, General of the Basilisk Squadron of the Unlocked, had teleported into this meeting ground. He was using his memory of Harker's entrances and used the same smoky entrance to project coolness. And while Harker pursued vanity, he did this for something else.

"A Presider?!" Madelyn was shocked.

"A Pseudo. But we decided to go with the word Anti. Did you know that it means 'in place of' in greek? Pseudo has a negative connotation. So call us Anti-Presiders." Cliff added as he emerged out of the mist of his own making. He wore a blank black mask.

"Now, let's get this little meeting in motion. I don't want to stick around for two Presiders to arrive.. Besides, I still have a date to catch."
