The Ark Of Raiyen and Mavislin's Meeting

"That Valkyrie knows no bounds when it comes to triggering people's memories..." mumbled Z as he rubbed his eyes.

"Come along, children... Though you may be adults, I will treat you like Midori and Duncan. Let's discuss our plans against the Knights when we are in the meeting room, okay?" asked the Valkyrie, smiling at the children.

"Okay!" yelled the two kids as they arrived at the meeting room.

Raiyen and Mavislin looked at each other in anticipation. But before they could say anything, Tomoe popped out of nowhere, shocking the group.

"Why are you doing here?" asked Raiyen, irritated that his Familiar had arrived.

"The Headmaster summoned me. Even if you are considered my Master, Gillian can control my whereabouts and talk to me using the bond as my summoner," explained Tomoe.

"Fine by me. Most likely, you'll aid me against the Stormbringer," replied Raiyen.

"Headmaster, you wish to see us?" chimed the Founders.

"Yes. As I've formulated the plans with the sea and air departments, it's time to discuss intelligent task forces. You may come in," boomed Gillian.

The group stepped back as the doors swung outwards to reveal Gillian standing at the side of the table, messing around with the floating map of the Five Domains. The twins hid behind the Valkyrie as they refused to look at the Headmaster because of his overbearing presence and gaze.

Bryan and Rina bowed slightly as they greeted Gillian, and Tomoe merely folded his arms, refusing to look at Gillian. Then, finally, the Headmaster turned to look at Raiyen and Mavislin before beckoning them to come closer.

"I want to discuss with you where you are going to deploy your troops. Mavislin, you'll be using the armies given to us by the Five Kings and the attackers of the Mafia. Raiyen, you will command the Vigilante to find the source of these dolls. Everything alright so far?" asked the Headmaster.

"Yes, Headmaster. I will command my Ark using the information we are getting from all corners of the Domains. But should a battle break out, I will withdraw my forces from the fight," answered the Time Mage, walking towards the table and activating his troops on the map.

"That will be fine by me. Of course, the best way to find the dolls would be to use the Underground Tunnels of the Five Domains, but does anyone remember them? Because I certainly cannot since people of the past built it..." complained the Headmaster, sitting back down onto the chair.

The Slayer went into the room with Rina and continued walking towards the Headmaster before placing his hand on the table, bringing up the archives to scan Bryan's memories. The Slayer felt a sharp pain at the back of his head, but it didn't do any apparent wounds.

The map instantly changed to have several colored lines running across the Five Domains and the seas around them. The Headmaster was impressed as he sent a thumbs-up Bryan's way.

"Great! Now the Vigilante would have the best way to get to the root cause and area of the dolls without being seen by others. However, if a fight breaks out, is the Barren Pillars willing to give their forces to aid with the Vilgiante?" asked the Headmaster, turning to Mavislin.

"I will send the Five Kings to help out with the Vigilante as they are more powerful at clearing large doses of the enemy. Though they may have a noble upbringing, their prowess as warriors is second to none. So it should not be a problem, right?" asked the Valkyrie, raising an eyebrow at Raiyen.

"Of course; I have no qualms about asking the Five Kings to help but are you sure? I thought they needed to stick with their Domains to ensure the peace and safety of their citizens?" questioned Raiyen as Mavislin walked over to the table.

"Yes, but they will only move from their post when bigger hordes of enemies attack your forces. So small amounts should be alright for your task force to handle. Or are you telling me the Vigilante can't fight some dolls?" taunted Mavislin, glaring at the Time Mage.

"No, my forces are strong enough to take down a small number of those dolls but not an army unless a wave-clearer is there to help them. So that settles it for my Vigilante; how about the Barren Pillars' move?"

"I will follow the Headmaster's instruction to deploy the troops at designated areas of the Domains. However, as discussed before, my First Seats and the training twins would be stationed in Albion to take down the newly revived Knights of the Round Table."

"You are going back on your word from the other day? Then I would've allowed Clement to go with Baldwin on their Mission! So why are you allowing them to participate?" thundered Gillian.
