Truth

"Who are you?" they asked "Jasper McLor. A friend of Zaiden and Zander. The pleasure is all yours." he grinned

"Is this the second phase?" Ivan questioned

Jasper shook his head, "Of course not. More capable people went there."

"Excuse me?" Urvi snapped

Jasper tapped his mouth, "My bad, my bad. Toxic tongue, quoting Maya."

"Where's Caesar?" Kali frowned

Jasper shrugged, "Somewhere within the huge tree."

"You brought us for a reason right?" Jaxon told "Boredom?"

"I came from a vacation to see the treasure players but....I'm disappointed yet again." Jasper laughed "I was expecting something...more."

"What's your problem?!" Urvi roared "We don't even know each other and you're already like this!"

"Correction...we know you." Jasper smiled "We looked through Zaiden's files and understood why he chose you all."

"Then you shouldn't talk to us like that!" Yasmin frowned

Jasper smirked "Understood...past tense. Right now....we don't know why you're still here."

"Doubting Zaiden like that won't turn out well!" Vance told

"Nothing will happen." Jasper informed, "I'm his close friend....you're his investment."

The players were silent and Jasper's smile didn't waver.

"I'm known as Gambler Jasper...I don't like my friend making a loss though." Jasper informed as the air became colder

"Then do it." Jaxon said

Jasper grinned, "I won't. Zaiden's about to do it. It's about time he pulled the plug on this losing streak."

"We can get better...." Kali began

"WE DON'T HAVE TIME!" Jasper yelled

Jasper's eyes widened as if he didn't know he shouted.

"My bad...." Jasper apologized "But we can't wait for you anymore."

"Why?" Becca asked

"A war like no other. Zaiden's side against everybody else, that's what happening."

The surroundings changed and they saw the twins with ten other people, Maya, Dylan, and Jasper included.

"I've been good for a long time and people forget what the J. Family's actual job is." Zaiden smiled

Dylan frowned, "Why for so long? How did you manage?"

"We knew you were all betting on us with Jasper," Zander answered

Everyone clicked their tongues and started passing money over to Jasper.

"Moving on...." Zaiden sighed "The Great System betrayed the families and the agreement."

"Tha...that's so horrible!" a girl sniffed

"NO! TEDDY!"

Clouds appeared above, on the ceiling and a heavy downpour of rain fell on everyone. The angry muscular man, Maximillian roared and made Teddy weep more.

"Prepare Hall F!" Maya announced

Hall F

"As I was saying." Zaiden said staring at Teddy "We've ignored what happens with the systems as usual. They had that whole Civil War and whatnot but nothing we were concerned about."

"That was the problem?" Dylan asked

Zander said, "It's when it started."

The air became serious and even Teddy poured her full attention to the twins.

"The Systems want to overthrow the families. We've already told the others....." Zaiden told

Maximillian roared, "So what are we doing?! Let's go attack!"

They looked at the twins' serious faces.

"We'll lose?" Maya said in shock

"No...we'll win." Zander frowned "But lose most of our fighters in the process."

"The systems became that strong?" Jasper questioned

The depressed-looking man frowned, "We're all going to die it seems."

"Is Hubert right?" Teddy sniffed

Dylan sighed, "We've lived long but I guess time has caught up with us."

"We're not dying at least I'm not." Zaiden snarled

A man on the right of Zaiden, Anthony laughed, "You're so cruel."

A woman named Venessa smirked, "Okay tell us the plan."

"We'll become system creators," Zander told

Teddy wailed, "He's abandoning us!!!!"

Hubert sighed, "Please make my end as painless as possible."

"We've started the war from the inside and out. Who in all dimensions doesn't know I like fun and war?" Zaiden grinned "Joining the system to fix boredom is something I would do."

"We really made a weird comrade." Hubert frowned

Teddy nodded, "True."

"Sometimes I regret my life choices." Jasper sighed sadly

"WE'RE RIGHT HERE!!" The twins yelled

"We know." they sighed again

Anthony smiled, "So...all or nothing, again."

"It seems so." Zander frowned

Teddy said, "It's different. What if....you won't be the same at the finish line?"

"Or die?" Hubert added seriously

"You're our friends and family." Zaiden smiled "I can't guarantee anything but....if we get lost will you find us?"

"No," they answered instantly

Zaiden smiled, "Do you want the rest of the plan?"

Maximillian stood up, "Send an email."

Everyone was standing up now.

Zaiden smiled, "We all die if we lose. Motivation from yours truly."

A woman, Indigo smirked, "Screw you. Reply from yours sincerely."

Another woman, Belle smiled and words appeared in front of her: " We'll manage, Zai. Don't die."

Belle's mouth had numerous strings sworn into it moving from upper to lower lip.

"Sure, what's family for," Zander replied

"Come what may, there's no turning back for us." Jasper grinned "It's so hard being the bad guy."

No one had actually left the hall. There was a strong air among the people as if they thought of the same thing.

"At least I gained some good family members before the end." Hubert sighed

Indigo exclaimed, "You said something positive?!"

"Are you about to die?!" Antony yelled

Teddy cried, "DO YOU HAVE A BOMB ON YOU TODAY?!"

Zander pushed Zaiden forward, "Take on for the team."

Antony grabbed Zaiden's collar and looked into Hubert's panda eyes.

"I think he's just being positive?" He smiled

"That was possible?" they retorted

The Players were silent and watched as the scene disappeared.

"We're the notorious J. Family that oversees chaos. Along with the other 9 families are at war with the system." Jasper said "We don't have time to wait for you."

"This is too confusing." Vance frowned

Jasper shrugged, "Things tend to get confusing when you invade someone else area."

"Excuse me?" Urvi frowned

Jasper whispered, "We're not supposed to be here....we're a glitch."

"I get it." Urvi frowned "You, Zaiden, and the rest....the war from the inside...."

"You're not making sense." Skyler sighed

Ivan smiled, "Does actually. If their families and systems stayed in their own space.... they were never meant to mix in the first place."

Jasper smiled brightly with a confused expression. They were right, everything they experienced would make sense, and how the J. Family could manipulate the world so strongly without any problem.

The families and System governed different planes that must never interact with each other. Even their dimensions were split among the two powers because neither one wanted to give up their spot at the top.

They made a deal to never bother each other and never let their existence be widely known by those they governed until the system civil war.

Caesar was in a dimly lit space and looked at the man in front of him.

"I have a counteroffer for you." he said seriously

The man smirked, "Oh my, I didn't see that coming."
