Chereads / The last bastion / Chapter 2 - Meetings

Chapter 2 - Meetings

I had completely forgotten that we constantly had at least 2 Guardians on Floor 9. Floor 9 was a massive forest that we hand-created, and at the center of it was the Mansion of Dene. Despite being floor 9 of 15, it was one of the newest we had, while floor 15 was probably one of the oldest ones we created since the Last Bastion was originally a raid spot that we claimed as our Clan Base.

The Guardians were Vesper and Velya, the twins of the 9th Floor, Venalara had created them, as her NPCs since she had a twin brother, he had also joined the guild as Dragon Archer, he had created Lilith, she was a Vampire and was also one of the strongest NPCS we had.

Vesper and Velya ran up to me and bowed "Is Something the Mater Great General Ultima?" Vesper said I waved my hand to the side "Nothing is the matter but I'm gathering all Major Guardians to Floor 9, sorry for the instruction" They stood up, and they barely reached my hip, but that was unsurprising since I stood at 7 foot exactly without shoes, "Great General it is an honor to Have you here"

I Kneeled down to them "Are you the Guardians of this Floor?" they nodded, but they looked quite weak but maybe that was part of their design "But as I said I'm having all other Major Guardians assemble here for a meeting since I felt a disturbance with The Last Bastion" they nodded "Is Velya unable to speak?" Velya shook her head "Please Don't mind her she doesn't talk much even to me" Vesper spoke in Velya's spot.

"Could you set up a training dummy?" they both nodded and seconds later a Heavily armored dummy appeared outside in the front courtyard.

There was wind and the hoot of owls, things only ever stated to be in Lore, Reminds me of the time that Lele2 created an NPC that only existed to scare us, we don't know how he coded it to follow someone randomly, and hide when they looked behind them but somehow they did.

Vesper was watching me from the sidelines, waiting to see what I could do.

I didn't know if they were real yet so I had to act as if I was, no if I were Zenith Ultima, I needed to act like him or else I could be found out, and I didn't know how they would react.

With mechanical wirs and my palm extended and with the sound of metal shifting my arm transformed into an Energy cannon, this is why my character needed mana most of this wouldn't work if I didn't have mana, it started to charge up until light radiated from it like a Beacon and then I fired it.

The wave of energy caused the dummy to atomize and many trees behind it.

A quiet clapping came from Velya who had joined her sister on the sidelines "Glorious Show of Power Great General" Vesper Exclaimed, I don't know if they were genuine in saying that but it felt nice.

I looked back at the Mannor and most of the Major Generals were standing there.

I turned around as my arm transformed back into well an arm "Thank you all for gathering on such short notice" most of them nodded, "Let in the meeting hall".

A shuffle of footsteps was heard, in lore most of the time we met in the meeting hall to announce our going to war or discussing a raid we were going to do.

Many of the Guardians seemed warry as if they thought I was going to do something, they stood behind their respective creator's chair, while i sat down, no one would be behind me "So what is it we must do Great General" Lilith asked, i shook my head "I belive something might have happened outside of this place, i would like for a party to be made so they could search the surrounding area, use Caution, no matter the threat" they nodded "This meeting is Dissmised and Amara i would like to talk to you Later" she nodded in understanding "What time?" strangely i still had the time [13:32:15] "We will talk in an hour from now" she nodded, no one had moved yet, i stood up and used the Ring of Zenith to Teleport to my room.

-----------------------

The 15 Guardians after seeing Zenith disappear all started to talk

"Did you see his Energy Cannon" Vesper nodded "I dont even think that is his most powerful skill" many guardians nodded then the conversations split into groups until Vesper said "What did He want with you Amara?" Amara Shrugged "i have not the slightest clue" many of the other guardians had stoped talking to listen in on what Amara was saying "Anyway how did he teleport? i dont belive he has that skill do he?" Amara responded to Zara "He created a Ring Called the Zenith Master Ring, but he only made Engough for the Great Beings, what they do is allow the wearer to teleport anywhere in The Last Bastion" Zara nodded "I didn't know he was also a Craftsman" Nyx chuckled "Of Course he would have to be a great craftsman, that body he uses isn't his real body, but no one knows where his real body is" Zara looked confused "how would a construct have so much power though?" Nyx shrugged, and then fixed his coat "I will be taking my leave now, i have more Experiments to conduct on floor 10"

I looked in the mirror at one of the many outfits i had, "I dont think green is my color, what do you think" i was talking to one of the maids "Well i belive Red or Gold could look really nice on you and would help compliment your robotic components" i nodded, it had been awhile since i had to let Zenith Ultima charge, and i dont know if any of the Guardians know what my character looks like "Do you think they will recognize me?" the maid looked Puzzled "Of course they will" i grabbed the Red Suit and had the maid help me put it on.

[14:11:18] i still had some time to go before i would need to talk to Amara, so i decided to walk through the Halls of floor 11 since i had sent a letter to her to tell her to meet me on the 11th floor, we had paintings of almost every Guild member

a Small goblin walked up to me "Is there something i could help you with Lord Zenith" it seems someone forgot to update this ones lore but it doesn't mater "Nothing is I'm just waiting to meet someone" the goblin nodded "would is be Miss Amara?" i nodded "She is waiting for you at the Central meeting hall" i chuckled "Seemed someone wanted to be there earlier then me" i began to walk towards the Central meeting hall.
