Arrival of Higher-ups: Reunions

With almost half of the players in the Server 1157 World destroyed, the whole World fell into a dead silence…

For the next 24 hours, all players retreated to their alliances' hives without communicating with anyone. The interior of the alliances' castles was completely silent as a graveyard…

And in this dead silence, the first significant movement took place in BRe Castle.

.

.

.

"Permanent King! May I come in?"

"..." Aramis, who had done nothing but think in his room for the last 24 hours, was disturbed by this silence being broken. "Permanent King is my as.s… Come in!"

"You must come to the Castle Gate immediately." The player who entered started talking without wasting any time.

"For what? I am not a King or any type of a leader anymore. Go and call for Jan!" Seeing himself as a complete failure, Aramis had already begun to plan to act only individually from now on."

"Well, you should give us a time, Aramis. Ok, we all accused you yesterday of witnessing those terrible massacres. But you should understand us also, we all were just trying to escape from this Hell alive, and the things that occurred gave us a huge despair! Anyway, Aramis… We still need you… And you should immediately arrive at the Gate, this is really important!"

.

.

Despite feeling no desire, Aramis went to the Gate and looked with the curious crowd next to him at the three powerful players who continued to sit on their resplendent dragons.

"Hello, my friend…"

"Buck… Hand… and Nasser… Why are you here, my… old friends."

"We have not approved what you have done in the past, and we still do not approve of it." Hand began to speak after Buck.

"But…" This time, Nasser continued speaking. "after what happened yesterday, I think it's time for us to come together again and act together…" After a long separation, Buck, Hand, and Nasser decided to become members of the BRe Alliance again. "Because it seems that if we do not establish a much stronger 1157, a much greater massacre awaits for us!"

Aramis looked at Jan and Kelly, who were standing right next to him. And in the faces of all the other players on the Gate… "Of course… Dear friends…" And when he saw the satisfaction on their faces, he continued speaking without slowing down. "Welcome back to your home!"

"KRYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK" The new dragons that appeared in the sky landed on the field with their users above them and their guests behind them.

"I would never have guessed that I would experience such an embarrassing moment!" The Alliance Leader, who was on the frontmost dragon, got off his dragon and approached them with a truly embarrassed expression. "I hate you… I really hate you! But more than half of my friends have died… And as my Alliance Leader, I have to put these feelings aside and protect my remaining friends, even if it means destroying my honor!... So, will you accept us, GBR Alliance in your hive as well, BRe Leaders!" 

Haites' appearance and words truly surprised the BRe leaders and members in that area. As he said, their past was indeed bad, and the recent events at the GBR Hive should have fueled this conflict even more. But on the contrary, GBR Leader Haites came there with all the surviving alliance members, ready to disband his own alliance and unite in BRe Hive…

Of course, the reason for this was the existence of an unknown power that massacred half of the players the moment it appeared…

.

.

.

The situation was not much different in other alliances' hives. The surviving members of the RES alliance, under the leadership of co-leader Plymouth, disbanded themselves and joined another alliance, just like the GBR alliance, and united under their name… under the name of Oni Alliance…

TTD Alliance is also merged with Sbg Alliance…

LNT with AnD Alliance…

And other alliances did the same thing too…

*** A colossus hive's in somewhere ***

This hive was like a closed volume room formed by the combination of giant cave entrance-like cavities on the upper slopes of a giant mountain. Of course, since it was a carved secret place, it resembled the inside of a giant cave, but since it was larger than a street, it was an irregular place where more than a hundred people could hide and live…

"So, you came at least…" The man in full armor in front of the group of three waiting at the stone-carved seating area in the center of the giant area spoke. "Ayo of the xJx Alliance…"

"Nah, former member of xJx…" Approaching the group, Ayo quickly glanced at the faces of the people waiting. "I never expected you to be one of us, my friend Cave. The old man really managed so successfully that we didn't even know each other's names."

"Yes, he did, my friend, Ayo…" Although they were in different alliances, Cave and Ayo had become close friends in this world. Of course, in a way that they don't know that each other are members of the rebels, as they currently declared. "I am really sad for him and Serenity…"

Ayo nodded sadly and then looked at the man sitting next to her. "So, you are…?"

"I am Claw, and this middle-aged man is PapaBear."

"The unlucky person who fell into the middle of the rebellion, Papabear…"

"Ah yes, dude… Believe me, you can't even guess my mood."

After smiling at him, Ayo looked back at Claw. "Hey, Claw. There was an unnamed member on your list. Who is that guy?

According to Treader's list, there were 11 people in total, although one was not clearly identified.

"That is me!" Two people entered from one of the three entrances of the giant cave-like hive. "Vato Luca of BRE Alliance…"

"WTF! A RED-EYED! ALSO A BRE! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, CLAW! EVEN TREADER ADDED HIM TO US BEFORE COMING TO THIS WORLD, YOU SHOULD GET RID OF HIM AFTER HE MURDERED PEOPLE!"

"Relax, Ayo. Let him explain…" Claw remained calm.

"Yes, Ayo. I understand you. This is what I am… Although…" He stopped and looked calmly at the woman player next to him. "Whatever I've done so far, I've done to protect her. In fact, I even came to this world just for her. And as you can see from her noble eyes, I somehow managed to keep her alive without getting blood on her hands…"

"Ah, I wanted to ask that also, Vato Luca. I understand that she is your wife. But do you still think it was right to bring her here and expose us all? Because of what you did, her life is now in great danger!"

"Yes, I did the right thing, Claw. I explained everything to her and she voluntarily joined us. We are not BRe anymore. Left as you did and became unrelated players too."

"Ok. Treader chose you as our future leader. If you say so, I trust you, Vato Luca…" Claw then looked at those around him to find out their thoughts.

Ayo reluctantly nodded, although he didn't want a red-eyed companion. So are the others…

"Thanks, all… Then, Claw. Where are the others?"

"Well. As you know, Treader, Serenity, Ocean, and Kingslar… Sadly they all died after successfully killing their targets. According to the system messages, it seems that Lamour and Kira also managed to kill Erti and Kitty. But they haven't arrived yet. Since 24 hours have passed, I guess they were captured and taken prisoner by their alliance, because we successfully eliminated all system spies…"

"Except for KB, Claw! Also, we do not know what the newly emerging danger is. You know, whatever this thing is, it killed hundreds of players in a few seconds!"

"Yes, I know that. But Lamour and Kira made their moves long before the system was triggered. So I just guessed… Only a guess…"

"OK, I understand. Then we must perform an operation to save both of them very soon."

"What the f.ck are you doing in my home…!" The newly emerged sound suddenly startled everyone in the colossus room.

"G…Gofu… You! What the hell are you doing here!?" Suddenly seeing Gofu, one of the most dangerous players on the server, entering one of the entrances and approaching them, Ayo, Cave, and Claw put their hands towards their swords. Even Vato Luca and his wife Yohani...
