Initiative's Main HQ, South Africa, Cape Town, 25/11/2032.

Donovan is walking to his meeting with Superior Judith Howell of the Hydranian Servants. Unlike the Servants of the Kamis, Hydranian Servants are more willing to side with the Hydra, than other Invader Factions...

To him, it'll be a one-up, against Takara, Zealot Xenophobic Amel, Idealistic Zheng, and even his foolish friend turned Hero of Humanity, Kevin of the New Phoenix Project.

Donovan's POV...

Survival of the fittest has always been the game.

Whether you're beating your enemy with a rock or a lawsuit, you have to be vicious to be the top dog.

Because, when you've worked for everything and fought for all you have...

Nothing will satisfy you... Except everything.

...

I opened the door to the meeting room and met Howell and her 'holy' council. I have Rowan to make sure they don't throw any unfriendly surprises.

"Welcome to the Initiative, where at least your Alien Overlords won't harm us.~" I speak with a sarcastic tone.

"Real funny, Donovan." Howell replied. "Now, will you help us with our forces?"

"Of course! Of course!~ After all, we share a common goal, right?" I replied.

But... They don't seem amused... Right... They already know my actual Objectives.

"Our Masters will not be enslaved by you and your Corporistic ilk. For we shall Herald our Masters. Not those Invaders, that Takara betrayed me for. We share only a Common Enemy." Howell.

"Whatever... So, do we have a deal or not?"

After a few seconds of silence... 

"Fine. But do remember, we're fighting for a Common Enemy." Howell replied.

Our enemy?

Of course, it's Kevin Lee and his New Phoenix Project.

See? I didn't rage like a Typical villain. They're too easy to notice. Not me. Sort of... But I have my reasons.

For the Hydranian Servants, Kevin and Takara are the reasons that they're losing. And are using desperate measures to kill them both. I wanted them to fall too, but they can be useful.

For me though... He'll make a perfect Puppet Commander for me after I fully mind-control him with the Pherocyte... Even the Hydras...

The Academy may call me as, no better than the Hydras, but... At least I'm honest and have a good plan, instead of just blindly killing the hero.

"Well then... Enjoy the weapons!~"

They left quietly while accepting the weapons... Not the best type of ammunition, but profit is profit.

I then check Kevin's WW2 after getting on my deck and...

Well... Well... Well... Look whose side is he taking now...

The United Solaris System Federation? How cute. But, which allied Faction would...

Aha! Amel's Humanity First! Of course, she's a Commie, she rather have the world fall into communism, than a Federation...

I'll be laughing if they called it the United Solaris System Republic... They'll mistake it for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics! I mean... USSR acronym.

Alright... Time to send my Mercs to disrupt...

Meanwhile... Kevin's Pov...

...

[Ininiative's PMCs have disrupted and caused a rout on the Syrian Front.] 

One of my Attache told me.

"General... It appears that the Initiatives have not only disrupted operations in Syria, but also in Vietnam, Taiwan, the Horn of Africa, and Spain... Cutting off most of our forces of needed resources from the sea. However, thanks to the Heavy Duty Drones and Well Positioned, Allied Airlift Sites... It was mitigated for now... What do we do, General?"

...

"G-General...?"

"Deploy the SpecOps. All of them."

"... Roger that."

As he left... I sent a mail to Donovan and I wrote this...

'This means war, Donovan.'

... Donovan...

I hope you have your grave ready... Because you've awakened a dormant snake.
