[No one]

"Alright, we're starting this meeting with something that you can't pass: a roll-call with first and last names," Alden information without even flinching at the "WHAT?" the others exclaimed.

"It's like a test no one knew about, nor studied for," Sherenidy chucked. She had it easy, being the only one using her first name.

"Let's start with an easy one: Jessica Sharpe," Alden started.

"For fucks sake!" Lupin groaned.

"Then a bit harder one: Cremorn Willow," Alden continued, ignoring Lupin's annoyance.

"I do actually remember my own name," Chet hummed.

"Let me do the next one," Sherenidy said, being the only one Alden allowed to look at the list over his shoulder. "Eiran Interfector," she read.

"I recognised that as my last name, but that's not my name, I think?" Irwin answered hesitatedly.

"Is that me then?" Topi asked, tilting his head.

"I think?" Irwin grimaced.

"You're correct," Sherenidy hummed.

"Next one is Unneless Fade," Alden said.

"That's me," Edita - barely - recognised.

"Primrose Redwood," Sherenidy continued, raising her head to look around as no one answered. "I can see you, but do you know yourself?"

"That's you ℸ ̣ 𝙹!¡, isn't it?" Haylie inquired from the lavender haired nurse.

"Maybe?" Topaz answered, not even sure by herself.

Alden seemed satisfied with the answer and continued, "Alliwixe Everbleed."

"╎ ∷ᒷᓵ𝙹⊣リ╎ᓭᒷ ᒲ|| ꖎᔑᓭℸ ̣  リᔑᒲᒷ," Godiva answered, but still doubted herself.

"Chalfont Crowe," Sherenidy continued. "No one remembers?" she asked, looking around.

"Alright, let's do this then," she sighed and used sign language to tell the name again, glaring towards the only person who needed sign language.

"Me?" Caton asked, pointing at himself.

"Yep," Sherenidy nodded.

"Then we got Ivadel Interfector," Alden said.

"That's got to be me then," Irwin said as the previous one had been his brother.

"Zaleria Evilian," Sherenidy continued. "Again no one? Why the hell doesn't anyone know their names?"

"Why should we know them?" Meadow groaned.

"Krizax Killoran," Alden continued.

"Wait- That was my name?" Meadow exclaimed.

"Let me bet, Krizax Killoran is ꖌᔑᓭ," Upton suggested, earning a confused look from Kasen himself.

"Correct," Sherenidy hummed, earning a "What?" from Kasen. "Levana Lakewind."

"╎ ↸𝙹 ∷ᒷᒲᒷᒲʖᒷ∷ ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ," Leslie hummed hesitatedly.

"Meluwyn Moonfall," Alden read with a sigh, knowing the man wouldn't remember it anyway.

"I think everyone else knows it, expect the one whose name it is," Sherenidy pointed out.

"That seems like it was targeted towards me," Mao sighed.

"If we wait for your answer, we'll sit here for centuries, so I'll move on. Lydia-Odessa Järvinen," Sherenidy said.

"That's got to be mine," Yenny hummed.

"You get the honours for the next one too," Alden decided after glancing at the paper.

Sherenidy chuckled, "Yeah, yeah. Otior Ollila." She pronounce both of the Finnish last names with no problems, which would have been the case with Alden.

"That's the second Finnish name. It's got to be me then," Oskari hummed.

"Caton Vexx," Alden continued.

"That's not ᓵᔑℸ ̣ 𝙹リ, is it?" Blake mumbled, glancing at the Rookie whose name had been said earlier.

"That's you ⍊ᔑリ," Dexter pointed out.

"Qinyll Crimson is dead, the one after that is me. Hmm, Ulvoqirax Vixen. How the fuck am I supposed to pronounce that?" Sherenidy spoke. "And no one remembers being named that?"

"⚍!¡, that's you I'm sure," Xelqua spoke up, earning a confused look from Upton.

"Tade Trevils," Alden continued, leaving Upton in pure shocked confusion.

"Me?" Tatton suggested, earning a nod from Sherenidy.

"This is easy! Grian Charles," Sherenidy said.

"You know that I remember that," Xelqua hummed.

"David Rex," Alden said.

"That's you," Ned said to Reed, who just looked confused.

"Vixium Dred," Sherenidy continued. "Again no one? Do we just have to put everyone into a room with paper and pen and let them sit there until they have written their name on the paper?" she huffed.

"ᒲᔑ𝙹 would be sitting there forever," Xelqua pointed out. "By the way, the name's yours, ∴╎リリ╎ᒷ," he added.

"ᒷ⍑?" Winslow looked at him with pure confusion.

"Zion Snow has passed, so the next one is Devin Shelley," Alden said. The whole time he had managed to keep a pokerface, without even flinching.

"リᒷ↸, ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣  ∴𝙹⚍ꖎ↸ ʖᒷ ||𝙹⚍," Reed pointed out.

"Why the fuck do people remember each other's names, but not their owns?" Sherenidy groaned. "Amorn Razor is dead, Xakey Tombend is dead, Preneth Malum however is not dead," she read from the list, hiding the coldness in her voice as she named her ex-mentor.

"That's me?" Blake suggested.

"Why the hell are you doubting yourself?" Sherenidy asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Zohar Dukes," Alden continued, without letting Blake answer Sherenidy's question.

"That's you, ꖎ||リ." Lupin seemed to know.

" Oh Irene, that's a long list-," Sherenidy sighed. "Dylan Soulton is gone, Jennilei Muridine is dead, Flowe Frost is dead, Arcaena Yinjeon is not a Main anymore. That leaves the next one to be Dylan Diamond," she said.

"I do remember the first name I chose by myself," Dexter hummed.

"Lillian-Cordelia Thornheart," Alden said, knowing the said female would actually recognise it.

"I'll go with the same answer as ↸ᒷ ̇/ before me," Jaylee hummed.

"Cora Bloodworth," Sherenidy continued.

"We already had two people who remembered their names in a row, but looks like three is too much to ask for," Alden finally commented.

"ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ ᔑ╎リ'ℸ ̣  ᒲᔑリ|| 𝙹⎓ ⚍ᓭ ꖎᒷ⎓ℸ ̣. ╎'ᒲ ⊣⚍ᒷᓭᓭ╎リ⊣ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣  ᒲ╎⊣⍑ℸ ̣  ʖᒷ ᒲᒷ?" Friede spoke out.

"Xanthus Void," Alden continued.

"That's me," Xenex hummed.

"Good, and then the last name is: Ember Storm," Sherenidy said, shuttling the book and turning her gaze up.

"No other options left than me," Haylie hummed with a shrug.

"Alright, everyone's here, so let's get down to business. There's a reason for this meeting after all," Alden started, waiting for everyone to calm down and turn their focuses on him.

"Last night our guards discovered a dark creature in the lobby. It was banished by
ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ꖎᒷᔑ↸ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷ ||ᒷリリ|| before anyone could identify its nature, but from the aura around the lobby it was easy to tell that the creature was powerful," Sherenidy explained in a serious tone, causing people to look at each other.

"I think that you all understand the seriousness of this situation," Alden spoke out. "A strong creature that managed to sneak into the Main HQ without getting noticed by anyone," he continued.

         Before anyone got a change to say anything else, the backdoor bursted open and everyone turned around to see a tanned female with sapphire blue eyes and caramel brown hair. She lowered the scarf that covered her mouth and took a few deep breaths before hurrying towards the table. She looked out of breath, as if she had just ran a marathon.

"∴||ᔑリᔑ, I understand that since you are a ex-Main, you have the rights to know our secrets, but still it is not acceptable of you to just burst into our meetings like this. I hope you have a good reason behind this," Alden spoke calmly, his voice had a hint of a warning tone.

"ᒷ∷∷𝙹∷ is attacking Wynncraft, and the black winged Watchers are breaking into Hypixel," the spy answered with no hesitation.

Xelqua shot up after hearing the name of the server he owned with some of his old friends. Alden spared him a look and a nod, telling him that he should go help his fellows admins.

"ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑリꖌ ||𝙹⚍! ᒷ ̇/ᓵ⚍ᓭᒷ ᒲᒷ ⎓𝙹∷ ꖎᒷᔑ⍊╎リ⊣ ᒷᔑ∷ꖎ||!" he exclaimed, bowing his head before running out of the front doors, leaving the others to start making quick decisions about who wa going and where.

[No one]

         Xelqua rushed through the portal to Wynncraft, which wasn't a good idea because he got immediately pushed back by the people trying to rush out of the world.

He unleashed his magics and moved the people out of the way without hurting anyone.

He looked around in Detlas, trying to calculate the damage that had been done. Error was nowhere to be seen, which worried him because he could still feel it there.

        He decided to move, continuing to look for the glitched creature. He had to find it before it found a way to do damage that was unfixable.

"Where is it?" He heard a familiar voice ask behind him, turning around to see Xenex.

"I don't know yet, but it seems like it was headed towards The Province of Gavel," Xelqua answered.

"Do you remember where that is, or do we need a map?" Kasen asked as no one else had never really been there.

"I know my way around here," Xelqua answered. "Just follow my lead," he ordered, taking off with his wings. The others followed after him.

"Let's hope we can find it in time," Chet hummed as he glided under Xelqua.

"In Gelibord," Xelqua informed, changing the direction a bit. "I just got a report from the other admins. They're already evacuation the place," he explained.

"That's good," Xenex hummed.

"Has any permanent damage been done yet?" Lyndon asked worriedly.

"I think we're still good. The report doesn't mention anything about that, but I'll have to still run a check once we have banished it from here," Xelqua answered, biting his lover lip.

        The Province of Gavel began appearing in the distance and the dark aura started to feel more noticeable. Seemed like they were in the right place.

"We're almost there, be prepared!" Xelqua informed everyone.

"Remember to be careful! We don't want any permadeaths!" Mao reminded everyone.

"There it is!" Kasen informed from the front where he was flying - despite not knowing his way around.

"Alright! Let's go!" Xelqua commanded, earning an approving nod from Mao.

"Everyone's getting a free one-way ticket to hell!" Meadow exclaimed.

"Who's letting her become the next leading Rookie?" Lyndon inquired.

"Hey!" Meadow exclaimed.

"Why the fuck are you still talking shit, we're all about to die in half a minute!" Mao exclaimed as Error's attention finally turned towards the flying group.

"This is it!" Xelqua exclaimed, raising his hand and summoning purple chains.

And so the battle began.
