The meeting

"I'm calling everyone to discuss something serious. Everyone meet at Udo tower, I repeat, at Udo's tower. Requesting all troops" Udo said on the phone.

Jade,Jerome, Xavier, and Colt all stared at each other. "Crystal and Aubrie, come with us to the clan and wait for orders! We have to go" Xavier said as he disappeared with Jade into the forest.

******

Udo waited alone in the room. He could see the whole con from multiple windows. Jade,Jerome,Xavier, and Colt all took a seat at the king table.

"I can't remember the last time we all had a meeting. The last time we had a meeting was when….never mind" Xavier said.

"What's the matter Udo?" Jade had asked.

"I found Sharon's body. She's dead."

Everyone in the room fell into a deep silence. "Colt, you and Aubrie need to check that woman" Jerome said.

"Woman? What Woman?" Udo asked.

"A strange woman washed up on the shore. She said she was looking for the code and she even threatened to kill me and Aubrie." Colt admitted.

"She threatened to kill you!? You never told-"

"Bring her in." Udo said as he cut off Jade.

"With all do respect, Captain…I think we should wait" Jerome said.

Udo looked at Jerome hesitantly. "Why do you say that? The second she shows up someone dies" Udo said.

"It's no different from when Nzinga was killed by someone! We still don't even know who did it, Udo" Jade said.

"I'm saying it wouldn't be wise. Somethings…off about that woman. I can't put my finger on it either." Jerome said.

Udo stood out of his chair looked out the window with his hands behind his back. "I'd like to question her. And whoever let her out of the damn hospital! I want both of them here right now! Xavier, you go get them. I know you won't argue with me"

Xavier walked out the room and soon came back with Crystal and Aubrie. Crystal stared at Udo…who had her interest.

This man…is the king of the island!, She thought to herself as she Batam shaking. Udo turned his head and glared at Crystal with a sinister look in his eye. Crystal's smile vanished and she started sweating uncontrollably. "I've felt power like this before! That's right! The one who sent me and my brothers to find the code! This man…isn't one of-" Crystal snapped out of her thinking and kneeled to Udo and the others.

I can't get to excited! This man…is a threat to our plan! I need to get all the information I need, Crystal though.

"What are you planning, Crystal?" Jerome thought to himself as he stared at her with suspicion.

"Nice to meet you, sir" Crystal said in a called voice.

"Nice too meet you to. You both can take a seat."

Crystal and Aubrie both sat down. Crystal sat beside Jade and Aubrie sat beside Jerome. "Aubrie…and whatever your name is. When did you two leave the room? And who allowed you to let this stranger leave?" Udo asked.

Aubrie cleared her throat. I went to ask the lady behind the desk. She said it was okay for me to let Crystal out and show her around. We can play back the footage. Aubrie said.

"Footage?" Xavier commented.

"Yep. I know there's cameras in the building. So we can hear and watch" Aubrie mentioned.

Udo went downstairs of the tower and quickly grabbed the the cameras and set up the computer to watch.

"Everyone focus on the film and watch closely. I want to make sure we don't miss anything. And Crystal…" Udo said.

"Yes?"

"If I see you even crossing paths with Sharon…I'm going to kill you in that instant!" Udo threatened.

You can try, old man.

"Okay"

Udo rewind the footage and watched closely along with everyone else. In the footage, Sharon helped Crystal upstairs with Aubrie.

Sharon came back down stairs and waited behind the desk as usual.

"I don't understand! Nothings happening!" Udo said with frustration. Jade slowly crept towards Udo and lay her head on his shoulder. "She was…..important to me" Udo said tearfully.

"I know you've lost a lot of people in your life. I'm sorry, Udo. This must've happen when she was upstairs. Aubrie was with them…so it couldn't have been Crystal." Jade explained.

"Did you two see anyone upstairs at all!?" Udo asked.

"No" Crystal answered.

What is she talking about!? There were multiple people! Udo just doesn't know because he never takes the time to focus on others in the building, Aubrie thought to herself.

Just as I suspected! This little girl trust me. You wouldn't tell them such a little thing, would you, Aubrie? It's just a little lie, Crystal thought. "Did you see any bruises on that woman's arms or anything physical?Crystal asked.

"No. It was like something from the inside kills her. Like…"

"A damn parasite" Jerome said.

"Interesting. May I have a look at the body, sir?" Crystal asked.

Udo hesitated and slowly walked out of the room. A few minutes later he came back with Sharon's corps. "Here" he said.

Crystal jumped on top of the table and started sniffing the body. What the hell, Jerome thought.

No one's questioning her?, Xavier thought to himself. Crystal stood over the body as her eyes glowed. "It would seem…they're universal slashes" Crystal said.

"What that?" Aubrie asked.

"Yeah, what are you talking about?" Jerome followed up.

"She has cuts…but you all can't see them for some reason. She was killed by someone who isn't from this world" Crystal explained.

Jade and Jerome quickly pulled their swords out and pointed them at Crystal's head. "Then how can you see them!? What the hell are you!?" Jade asked in a demanding tone.

"Learn to calm your emotions, Jade" Crystal whispered as she lowered their swords. "I'm not a damn alien. But…my eyes allow me to see things way behind the world itself. It's part of my ability and it's called "Eyes of the universe. It allows me to see things that aren't in this dimension. I can see that attacker used abilities that aren't from here. Do you guys know anyone who has power not from here or stronger than our people?" Crystal asked.

The room froze. "Someone…who's stronger than most people."

"Not…from here."

Udo sat back in his chair and put his hands in front of his mouth. "Adisa" he said.

Jade, Xavier, Aubrie, Colt, and Jerome all stared at the floor with disbelief. "That can't be! Frost and Summer have something to do with Adisa's disappearance! We can question them!" Jerome said.

"No" Udo said. "Four years ago…Nzinga was killed. The whole island knows that. But we all know when Adisa disappeared…she had something to do with it! At least I assumed that. We all pretty much knew something was fishy about Nzinga,Frost, and Summer. But why her death? Her throat was slashed, she was beaten, and signs of burn marks. As if something tortured her. It would make sense if…Adisa somehow managed to-well we don't know. Frost and the others…might have killed him or is hiding him somewhere. We have to find the two of them!" Udo said.

"Who's Adisa?" Crystal asked.

"Don't worry about it" Jerome said.

"The queen of the sky clan has something to do with it also! When I went to the meeting…the higher-ups and the six monarchs were asking me hell of questions about Adisa and secrets. We can go to the sky clan and see what info she's got for us" Jade explained.

"Yeah…we can do that and-" Udo stopped talking when noticing a face staring at him from the dark corner of the room. Marcel's face blended in with the shadows as his whole body emerged. "It would seem…I was right about you guys", Marcel whispered.

"Marcel it's not-"

"Shut up, Jade! I knew you people had the same suspicion about Adisa! This island must be kept safe from people like him. So…we will all confront the queen,Summer, and Frost. We, the monarchs have to see if the boy is dead! Only they know where he is or being held. So…we shall go to the sky clan" Marcel said.

"We already planned on that. And don't try to control MY troops. You can join us, Marcel. But if you push the wrong buttons…I'll kill you to" Udo threatened.

Marcel clapped his hands. "Always hated us Udo. But I'll meet you all there…peace out." Marcel laughed as he walked back into the shadows and disappeared.

"Everyone get on your horses. Aubrie and Crystal, you two are coming with us! Udo ordered.

"Time to visit our old friends"
