Minutes before Leo and Ben arrived at the palace grounds, the Virex Corps, Royal Guards, and special troopers were placed on high alert in anticipation of the impending conflict.
Meanwhile, the Royal Family, including the Young Emperor, were swiftly evacuated from their chambers to a secure panic room within the castle that was protected by the best soldiers within the castle.

The idea was to not allow anyone into the room, as the singular point of entry was guarded by a corridor full of men.
