Now that Trypticon was online and currently devouring shipwrecks to grow larger, Alexander put him on the back of his mind as he knew that Trypticon was going to get larger and stronger with time.
On another side note, he kept his side of the deal and gave Azazel enough liquid Dark Energon for him to work with. He did not mind giving this away as because of Kokabiel he had gotten Isabel. She had proven to be worth every resource used to create her.
During the last month and a half, she had been getting far stronger as he took her with him and Ragnarok to train. When he was sure she was strong enough he sent her to major Japanese prisons to take everyone who was truly guilty. Mind reading was a very easy thing for her to pick up on, as he needed as many souls and bodies to work with.
This mass of disappearances brought shock to the people of Japan along with the government. They did not know why only some people were taken, but Alexander truly did not care what they thought.
In his eyes, Japan already belonged to him and he just had to show it. For that, he was gathering souls to implant into his army. With souls, they had more control and could actually take orders better. But the main reason was to test out how his blood and bone marrow worked.
Over the past week, he had been experimenting with both to see if his plan to turn Shina into a 9-Tailed Wolf would actually work. Currently, they were back in the lab where he had created Isabel. To the side were several mangled bodies of his failures.
Alexander stood over the same table he had made Isabel on. Strapped to the table was a death row serial killer. He was awake and gagged as Alexander brought a large syringe with his bone marrow in it.
He inserted the needle into the man's leg and into the femur. Once in, he injected it inside. He pulled the needle out as he watched the man struggle and rage against his straps. Alexander observed as the man broke the restraints and began to shift.
At first, things went well, until they started going sideways. His muscles burst open in the wrong way, his skin started to fall away while his bones melted. Ingrid observed the whole thing with shock. What was causing this failure?
"What happened?"
Alexander pushed his hand into the still-alive monster's chest and ripped out the heart. He tossed it to Ragnarok who began to eat it whole.
"His body could not handle the power of my bone marrow and it tried to purge it by expelling it out of his body. This is the result."
Alexander pulled out the soul and stored it in the Berserker Armor.
"Kaldadormi, bring the next one."
"Sure."
Bronze Dragons did not like to kill innocents, but none of the test subjects were. They all were the worst of the worst scum so she happily did as he said. She dragged another man to the table and placed him on it.
The man tried to struggle, but she restrained him easily with her magic.
"He is ready."
Alexander brought out a vial of his blood which he force-fed into him. Unlike before, the power in his blood began to cause the man to shift, but not as violently. Still, the man did not survive the process and this was already the 45th death.
Alexander could not understand how to make this work. Why were they all dying? He sat down on his chair as he wracked his brain for a solution. Grayfia thought about it before she had an idea.
"Why don't you feed them your blood and injected them with your bone marrow at the same time? Your blood will turn them, while it will give your bone marrow something to latch on to."
"Not a bad idea. Bring another one."
The dragon nodded and brought a female inmate. This one had drowned her baby so Alexander had cut out her eyes, tongue, and limbs. The dragon tossed her on the table as they prepared for the next step.
"Grayfia, you feed her my blood, and I will inject my bone marrow."
"Yes."
She walked over as he handed her a small vial of his purplish-red blood. He brought out a second one that contained his bone marrow. With how fast his regeneration was, he could do nearly without limit.
He stuck the needle into her spine as she did not have limbs at the moment. Grayfia also force-fed her his blood at the same time. Once this was done, they all backed away and watched as the woman shook violently and began to shift.
She regrew her limbs, her eyes, and her tongue while she transformed into a werewolf-like form. Unlike Alexander or Isabel, she took a more brown color in her werewolf form. She was also smaller than Isabel at around 2 meters which was small.
She rushed at Alexander trying to claw at his face, but she froze mid-leap. Her very body moved against her as Alexander took control of her blood. The blood that turned her was his, it obeyed him.
"Foolish.
He forced her to lie down on the table as he walked over. She was still struggling, but nothing she did would save her from what was to come.
"Ingrid, get me my tools."
She nodded.
"Right away."
By his tools, she meant his set of surgical tools. He had a soft spot for children so he had no mercy to give. When she got him his Adamantium instruments he prepared to butcher her on the spot. He planned to use her body as material to make a second biomechanical being like Isabel.
However, just as he was about to make an incision to remove the brain, he noticed Grayfia look up as a magical circle opened near her ear. Alexander watched as she spoke to Sirzechs over the connection. When it was cut, she looked toward him.
"Alexander, Sirzechs just contacted me. He said the meetings with the Satan's will begin tomorrow."
"I see, so guess after things settle you will be going back? I am actually going to miss you, you made my work so much easier."
She shook her head
"I think I will be staying. The last month has been rather interesting and I do want to be there to watch what you will build or create."
Hearing her say that left him speechless.
"I see. Well, I really appreciate that."
He cut down and began to remove the skull cap of the still-alive woman now in werewolf form. Just like before, Grayfia used her magic to freeze all the body parts as he took her apart just like Kokabiel.
He did not plan to make use of it just yet, so he just stored it all away in his lab.
"Now that I got the material, I just need to get ready. Ingrid, how much Adamantium do we still have?"
Ingrid looked at her tablet and the results were not too good.
"We only have 10 tons left. Most of it went into the Baneblades and the Mandators. What we used on Isabel was the 11th ton."
Alexander sighed.
"I will have to get another giant shipment from Odin. The first one was already expensive. Ingrid, we need to prepare to release some new products. Begin production of the Canis 2, a new game console, a tv, and maybe a vehicle."
Ingrid typed away on her tablet as she began to set things in motion.
"You gave me the plans already. We can begin production in a month."
"Good, Plan it for the end of this year."
Ingrid typed down on her tablet which gave them around 7 months. More than enough time. At the same time, Alexander got in contact with Trypticon. When he would begin his invasion of Japan, Trypticon would attack from the sea while his ground forces from land.
He also had to get a powerful airforce which meant he would need a lot more Adamantium.
'Trypticon, how is it going.'
Deep in the sea in the Atlantic, Trypticon was currently in the process of assimilating a Nuclear Submarine. After consuming it, his systems were trying to assimilate the reactor and change it as well.
The Reactor needed to work off of Dark Energon and Od instead, so Trypticon was not moving at the moment.
'My master, I am in the process of assimilating a new power source.'
That was odd.
'What kind?'
'I found something like a ship, but thinner and smaller. It contained radiation which my system is working to make use of.'
'I think you ate a Nuclear Submarine. Is it causing you pain?'
'Negative, my systems are just working on getting it to work with Dark Energon and Od. Once this is finished I will have far more power than before.'
'Good, keep up the good work.'
He cut the connection with Trypticon as he prepared to leave the lab.
"Come on, we need to get ready for tomorrow. Kaldadormi, you will be coming with me."
"Why?"
He patted her head as he walked past her, followed by Grayfia, Ingrid, and Isabel.
"A show of force, you may just be a High-Class Dragon, but you are still a dragon."
Kaldadormi accepted.
"Alright."
To prepare, Alexander first collected 10 Baneblades which he was going to trade for the USS Missouri. He did not plan to feed this one to Trypticon, instead, he planned to make a second Trypticon-sized machine. However, he needed to take the other three Iowa classes Battleships. The USS, Wisconsin, USS New Jersey, and the USS Iowa.
Once he had all 4, would the fun begin?
'I got Trypticon, now I just need to name my new creation. For now, just having Missouri will be enough.'

The next day, Alexander is in front of a mirror getting dressed by Ingrid and Grayfia. They had both asked to help him so he just let them. Isabel merely stood at the side acting like a loyal bodyguard. She was also currently wearing an armor set that Alexander had created for her. It made her real gender almost impossible to tell as it hid all of her features.

It was black and red and had the Canis Tech logo on the chest plate. She was silent with Ragnarok at her feet. As for Kaldadormi, she was sitting at the side holding Shina in her arms. A pair of horns emerged from her head as a dragon tail waved behind her. Alexander told her she did not have to hide her dragon features so she did not.
"Alexander, you are perfectly able to dress. Why do you have them help you?"
Alexander looked over as Grayfia helped him put on his suit jacket.
"They wanted to do it so I let them do it."
Ingrid just smiled.
"I like doing this."
Grayfia on the other hand had a more tame reason.
"It is my duty as a maid."
Alexander was done anyway so he walked over to Kaldadormi and took Shina into his hands.
"Now, why is the meeting taking place in Kuoh Town again?"
Grayfia explained calmly.
"As Cleria gave the territory over to Sirzechs, it is currently the territory of the Gremory clan. The meeting will specifically be in Kuoh Academy."
Alexander did not bother with anything else and opened a teleport circle under their feet. In a flash, they all vanished and appeared at the meeting spot. It was one of the offices in the large school and already waiting were the 4 Satans, Cleria, and Masaomi.
They had come together so now, Alexander just had to wait for Azazel to arrive. Isabel, Ingrid, and Kaldadormi walked to stand behind him while Ragnarok sat at his side ready for anything. Grayfia walked to the side not picking a side as that would be rude.
Alexander looked at the 4 Satans from left to right.
'Serafall Leviathan, Ajuka Beelzebub, Sirzechs and Falbium Asmodeus. I can kill Serafall and Falbium, but Ajuka and Sirzechs are trouble.'
That was what his instincts told him at the very least. He closed his eyes to wait not saying a word. They all looked at Isabel who was standing behind Alexander. They could feel that she would attack at a moment's notice.
Kaldadormi stayed silent as she did not know what she would say in the first place. The silence was cut when Azazel's teleport circle appeared in the office. From it emerged Azazel, Baraqiel, and Shemhazai in case things went south.
His arrival meant things could begin for real.
