Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: The Plan to Strike

"Hmmm well though the scouts and Vu did find some random portal by chance it's important to search for other portals that may be hidden." says one of the generals with Fafir. The Beast God sits in silence and listens as his generals continue to agree and disagree. He slams his hands down and speaks. "Apologies my lord. Forgive us we where so busy in our own strategies we forgot to ask your opinion." Said General Vella. She adjusted her purple scarf and recieved a call from her troops. They awaited instructions and also awaited Fafir's ruling. The old god waved his hand granting permission. General Vella gives the permission to the troops of her squadron and the call ends. What still was the elephant in the room was searching the forest for other clues and portals.

"More than likely those fools were way too arrogant to think no one would find them. It's baffling to think my ex-wife would of all people hide herself and our daughter there. Now as the ruler here. I say do as you must. I will continue to hone my body and prepare for the ambush." Fafir says. He dismisses his generals and they leave. Fafir goes to the training room and meditates he feels a small sting in his lower abdomen. As he once spoke of to his daughter Destiny. The Accursed Realm that he was banished to had a negative effect on his body, while he did grow stronger over time he also was now cursed. His sanity miraculously still remained but for a cost. A hand touched the meditating man. Fafir opened his eyes and looked up it was Vu Rachel dressed in a transparent skirt,black shorts with a black crop top and a transparent jacket. Vu Rachel looked down at him and kissed her new husband on his cheek. "My lord, My love. Whenever you're ready we can finally end this. We will destroy that little purple bastard and put a end to that ridiculous prophecy made by that dwarf." Vu Rachel said as she sat beside him. Fafir chuckles and hugs his new wife tight and kisses her on the lip.

"Also now as your wife I can speak to you more freely. Frankly I know you're hiding something from me. You've been in physical pain and from what the old Neotic God Book told. You were cursed by that realm. Am I right or am I wrong my love?" She asks some what concern. Fafir didn't jerk his hand away from her nor did he fire back and insult her like usual before they were married. He looked to the ground and said nothing until Vu Rachel asked again. "You are not wrong about that Vu Rachel. I figure you were always able to speak to me freely after all. You understand me better than my own daughter. She continues to refuse her rightful path that I already set out for her. No matter I will have her back on our side. The fool chooses to side with the enemy. How stupid can she be." Fafir says angrily. Vu Rachel hugs him and holds his hand and whispers in his ear. "Shes simply acting as a child should my lord. Your a wonderful father and your doing the best you can sadly children don't always follow the path. Destiny however is being brainwashed by Luna and her miserable friends. I believe if we attack it won't be too late to undo their treacherous deeds. Now come on lets get you to your strongest." Vu Rachel says.

Fafir and her giggle and spar in the training room. Meanwhile the same scouts that found the portal within the forest still patrol and guard. They hear voices and wonder if they should go inside and start before any orders are officially given out. An female troop from General Vincent arrives on an horse and hands the head captain an scroll. The head captain unrolls it and reads. The scroll tells of the sky being temporarily crimson. As soon as he finished the sky did exactly that. The once beautiful pink sky was now a crimson red and the grass became brown. "Strange the sky was red in some areas already but why here? Why this forest now? Lord Fafir must have alzheimers." The Captain said making his troops howl in laughter. This would prove to be a disadvantage. A blur swiped the captain off his feet. He struggle to lift himself up only to see glowing orange eyes. Fafir himself made the captain an example of those who dared to defy his ways

"Jokes huh? You see hehe. I've lived for eons. I've lived to know your ancestors and their ancestors. Mind your tongue in Hexus fool. Begone from existence." He said crushing his entire neck with one hand. The rest of the dead captain's body diminished into ash and blood spilled onto the forest floor. The remaining troops cowered in fear as the evil god simply threw the remaining corpse with such force into the furthest mountain. A loud booming sound followed after Fafir's insane throw. When he readjusted his new pelt cape on his shoulders he looked towards his troops and entrusted them to set up camp.

"I will induct this troop with blue as your new captain. As for me I will be with you when we attack. Some of you may wonder. Can Luna and company hear us out here? Hmm. If they do then their demise is imminent. It's unwise to do nothing especially when the enemy is so bold. Now let us rest and worry not. For those pathetic fools know nothing. Hell they abandon Nea and hide while we conquer." Fafir says the troops seem influenced by this and cheer. They shout their leader's name and cheer louder. Unfortunately for Luna and company they were completely unaware.

Fafir happened to get some important information from his scientists. Back at the Red Palace. An new solider that can freely manipulate it's size and weight along with being vastly intelligent if not equal to even the smartest of mortals. They were being tested in several tests. One of strength,speed, stealth and durability. Sadly due to them being able to manipulate their size. It leaves them open for five full minutes. Once Fafir heard of the news. General Vincent gave him the idea of sending these new soldiers into the so-called hidden realm and gather information.

"If I do say so myself my lord. Their technically not alive and we wouldn't have to worry about wasting any mortal lives once they are say killed in the process." says General Vincent. Fafir contemplated on the idea and quickly had one sent to his location. The solider normally was no more than five feet and nine inches tall with a sleek build. Its shoulders small in size and an equally matching body frame. What was unusual about this soldier was the black fog covering most of the body. Red slime oozed from it's back and it's face was covered with a hard red shell almost like a mask.

Fafir seemed pleased. He walked up towering over his new ominous soilder and gave not just this one but all off these strange new creatures a name. One that would arrogantly honor him and the mortal troops that served him. "You from this day forward and forever more will be named Fafkins. You should be proud you fight not just for your god,but our new world. Where everyone will be free under my rule. Now an name for you..hmm.. Kirin the Fafkin sound good?" He joked and raised his hand a bright blue aura formed around his hand and bathed the new solider with an energy similar to emotion. Fafir learned this sort of strange skill from Nea long ago. It was his dark counter part in fact. He called it Forin. While Nea gave emotions to her creations,Fafir simply mocked that skill and made it his own. With this these new solider now in Fafir's own dark and twisted way understood what emotions were like to a degree. They would have to learn only through time.

For now the head Fafkin Kirin bowed on one knee to their lord and ask what they must do. Fafir waved his arm sending the rest of the Forin skill aura to the other emotionless and stationary Fafkin solders. Kirin howled for its other allies and off they went into the portal they stealthily looked for any booby traps,mines or any other sort of dastardly tricks. One of the troops reported that feedback was already being sent to the generals and the other camps all around Neo.

"Hmm no video at all it would seem. Smart Umi smart,but also unnecessary The North Quadrant has just been captured lord. We will soon have the whole world in your grasp." Says a troop. Fafir folds his arms and impatiently waits for anything new.

Several days pass and still nothing of the sort Fafir is the first to awake he returns an small wolf cub back to his parents. The other wolves automatically surround him and lick his hands. They acknowledge him as for his original purpose. The Lord of Beasts. It was because of him every animal on Neo was created and given an purpose. He smiles as how far he's come and also smiles more. He envisioned a world of peace,paradise and prosperity.

"Fafir the Grand sounds amazing. Hehe maybe even the Beyonders will grant me an audience. Such deities will bow to my feet before I fade into nothingness." He says this to himself and looks into the sky and stares at the moon set. The other troops start to wake up and giggle in merriment. They celebrate that there Fafkin soliders are obviously doing well and have been led under such wonderful leadership.

What happens next is the Fafkin leader Kirin has successfully emerged into the Hidden realm. Five other Fafkin soldiers explore the vast empty reaches of this realm and two manage to sneak into the basement of Umi's Palace. Fafkin himself sees a random guard and snaps his neck killing him and absorbing his soul. Fafkin wears the guard's former armor and explores Umi's palace with little worry. Once it gets to a secluded area Kirin notifies Fafir about sneaking into the palace. Fafir congratulates Kirin and has them continue to survey the place. Kirin gets off his reciever as it hears a high pitched feminine voice. It was none other than Gala. She had some chocolate and happily skipped down the hall. Until she heard Kirin squirm up the wall to the ceiling. Unfortunately for Kirin,Gala could see in the dark and mistook the would be assailant for a large spider. She let out a scream and punched Kirin so hard they were sent spiraling through the wall. The other Fafkin soliders that were outside saw a black blur whizzed past them and rushed to Kirin's aid. Gala simply hid and went back inside.

Kirin was heavily wounded and also mocked by his comrades. "S...shut up you frickin idiots..S..she..that big breasted midget caught me off guard. Next time she won't be so lucky continue your mission fools." Kirin said the others healed their commander and went back to their duties. Kirin healed itself and killed yet another guard and took its armor. This time Kirin made sure to avoid any powerful threats. Sadly Gala saw and was floating behind it. One flick of a finger send Kirin into a wall. This time Gala sat on Kirin and giggled.

"No no noooooo. Gala knows your not Neotic nor human. No Neotic has red slime dripping from them hehe. Why are you here hmmm? Tell me and Gala will let you go." She said playfully patting Kirin on the butt. Kirin refused and tried to summon their comrades but couldn't. Mostly because their left hand hand thr receiver and was also being sat on by Gala. Kirin swore revenge and wondered how would it get it's way out of this.
