Chapter 16: Plan

The next day came quickly, with Catherine preparing strategies for the inevitable battle against Moryo.

After adorning a new green robe, she first opened a portal into the room of the Black Snake Sage.

"I told you to stop entering my room like that!" the Black Snake Sage hissed.

"And I told you that we had a meeting to go to, now are you ready?" Catherine responded back.

The Black Snake Sage simply nodded as Catherine opened a large portal for him to go through.

"Where is the meeting taking place?" he asked as he had never thought about the matter before.

"In an alternate world known as the Mirror Dimension, now hurry, I have to go get the others." Catherine said before shooing him away.

The Black Snake Sage simply grumbled before entering the portal, after which it closed while Catherine opened another one to Shikkotsu Forest.

She arrived directly in front of Katsuyu, who seemed busy as she was meditating a dispute between two of the animals.

"Lady Katsuyu, that bastard tried to eat my tail!!" angrily yelled the fox.

"I keep telling the fool that it was simply a mistake. I just fell." said the coyote.

"Make sure you don't do it again or you will be expelled, and try to be more understanding if it was simply a mistake." Katsuyu said to both of them who then left while throwing glares at one another.

She then finally noticed Catherine in the room as she said "Sorry you had to see that Yao. Can I assume it's time for the meeting?"

Catherine simply nodded and opened an extremely large portal for Katsuyu to go through, however, she shook her large head and said "There's no need for that. I'll be splitting myself and just sending a part of me to go."

She then made a smaller version of herself that was around the size of the Black Snake Sage coming out of her body and heading into the portal.

Catherine simply opened a portal to Mt. Myoboku and arrived directly in front of Gamamaru, who was asleep.

"*Ahem*" Catherine cleared her throat waking him up. He seemed surprised at first, before he said "Oh, it's just you Yao. Good to see you again. Is it time to go?"

"Yes Great Toad Sage, it's time for the meeting." Catherine answered.

The two then walked through the portal and into a room with a large table that had 2 large chairs and two small ones, with both the large ones being occupied by the Black Sanke Sage and Katsuyu.

"It seems that the frogs have finally arrived, though I didn't expect to not see Gamamaro, I can assume that the old bastard is dead?" Asked the Black Snake Sage after seeing Gamamaru.

"Yes, my father has moved onto the Pure Lands." answer Gamamaru with a smile to which the Black Snake Sage just snorted.

"As much as I love a friendly reunion, we have more important matters to deal with." Catherine said with a grim look on her face.

"The amount of time that we currently have before Moryo appears in our world is about 3 days. That means we have only 3 days to not only come up with a strategy that can defeat him, but also take out his army of stone warriors. And we also have to minimize the damage that he can do to our world to prevent it from harming the innocents. So, it's time to put all past grudges aside, and work towards saving the world." Catherine spoke.

All three Sages nodded as the 4 began to come up with a plan to take out Moryo.
