Kierran doesn't really react to Odeala at first, other than just
keeping his guard up. Considering how Odeala was flirting with
Zedd, something told Kierran he probably shouldn't let his guard
down around her.
Zedd: Well... I hate to admit this, but I have a certain
weakness to power rangers due to me being cursed by the Zeo
crystal so long ago... And one of Blackfire's conquerors just
happens to be a power ranger with two combined power rangers
that have proven troublesome for me in the past on their own.
Kindron Blackfire knew that, and not only had his precious
conqueror attack me, but he decided to be as thorough as
possible and have them all attack me along with himself and
Nightbane Blackfire. Kindron Blackfire hasn't been able to see
the future since getting here to this world, but as the
dimensional distortion slowly goes away, he's regaining more and
more of his future vision. He's also being very careful and
making sure he goes full force on any threat to him specifically
while he's been blinded by the distortion in this world. He
didn't come after me alone because he was being cautious. He
says, somewhat bitterly. He starts going through the Conquerors
one by one, holding up a finger with each one. Blackfire's
conquerors are not weak by any means, and each one conquers
entire worlds on their own. Which is why five of them were able
to overpower me with the Blackfire's help and guidance. First
was the combined dragon/tiger power ranger, Drakkon with his
army of power ranger enhanced robots and his army of dragons.
The next one was Radu the Inferno. King of Hell in his world,
and has the power of multiple demon princes. I'd say he could
probably beat King Satan of our world if they fought on earth.
The next one was Yoff the Undead Conqueror... he doesn't seem
like much at first, but his undead energies are corrosive and
destructive to living beings, as well as his powers using the
powers of the deities Apollo and Artemis proved to be quite
dangerous to people with unholy or corrupted natures. The next
one was Vaati the wind sorcerer... Only certain skills can get
through his wind defense, and he's also got dark spirit arts
which most beings have no resistance to. Even a being like me
who is empowered by curses, his curses using dark spirit arts
were strong enough to overcome my ability to be powered by
curses. And then the last one was Michael, the Wraith
Replicator. He scoffs a bit at the thought of Michael. He makes
me remember that blasted Machine Empire when they almost tried
to take my empire so long ago. Anyway, he has an army of
replicated bodies who can all act on a hive mind, but his most
dangerous aspect is his ability to adapt to almost any power.
Within three magic spells, he was not only able to become immune
to my magic, but he also created an opening for Drakkon to
destroy my staff and leave me weakened. I would have died if not
for my wife's final act to save my life before the Blackfire's
wives murdered her.

John listens thoughtfully to Zedd as he goes over his own
weaknesses, Kindron Blackfire's future vision ability, and the
conquerors. He then grins a bit as what he is hearing is filling
in the gaps of what he wasn't able to see from the Forbidden
Zone due to training, planning, and empowering. John: I wouldn't
worry about Kindron's future vision. My Goddess lead me to find
Odeala in the Pit of Madness as a counter for such abilities.
Most of Azathoth's Hidden Ones, like Odeala, are strong in chaos
and insanity energies and extremely unpredictable. Anyone who
can see the future that attempts to use their power on Odeala or
any other of Azathoth's Hidden Ones will suffer a massive
migraine as they will be bombarded with every single possible
outcome at one time. Such pain can keep them from even being
able to attack Odeala and can even cause insanity. This Drakkon
and Radu won't be much of an issue either once I have a couple
of more associates brought in from Purgatory. I'm pretty sure
that primordial daemon lords will be dark spirits on a caliber
that neither will be expecting. Vaati's power will also be
mostly useless against Dracoius and Infernus as their very
"soul" is dark spirits and Infernus powers can counter wind and
air abilities. Their physical bodies are also nearly impossible
to kill, requiring one of the Living Weapons of the Celestian
Gods in order to kill them. He then thinks a bit. John: Though
we will want to bulk up our forces just in case with others who
can counter them. I will need your help with two possible
recruits, Zedd. Both are very leery of working with others, but
I have confidence that you could convince them to join. One is a
descendant of Rasputin who is a very powerful necromancer and
summoner. She is very reclusive and doesn't typically work with
anyone who isn't a follower of the Ancient One, but she does
enjoy gaining more power. Come to think of it. She might even be
the perfect balance for you as she can empower you more through
ancient curses that haven't been used in the universe for
thousands of years. The other one is another primordial daemon
lord, but one who was considered to "not be a risk to creation"
named Cesdreal. He shouldn't be too hard to convince especially
if you are able to find out what he wants most in exchange. John
then reaches his right jacket pocket and pulls out a wooden case
with the mark of Cthulhu on it and pulls it. John: As for this
Michael, I believe that just a drop of the blood of Cyäegha in
this case may be able to help. The blood of Cyäegha is said to
block the abilities of those who do not worship him and poisons
them in order to make the unbeliever a meal. He explains as he
opens the wooden case to reveal 5 vials of black liquid that
each bare a mark of a primordial god. John: We of the Hidden
Ones are empowered by such liquids were disbelievers will die
upon consumption. Such liquid can be refined by a necromancer
though so that it is safe for people such as yourself and Silvio
and can permanently empower with new dark powers connected to
that Ancient One such as the blood of Hastur the Yellow King
which grants one primordial light, darkness, and cosmic powers.
Odeala gently places her right hand that had traced along
Keirran's back on his left shoulder and then leans gently
against him like she's completely bored of the conversation. Her
mind races with random thoughts, bouncing from wanting to taste
mortal blood to how to much she wants to run rampant in the
streets to how to learn more about the abilities of those around
her especially Keirran as he is still closer to death wraith
than herself but still so different.

Zedd: Just let me know where these "associates" are and I will
be happy to have a word with them.
Kierran: In terms of strengthening our forces... I will be
bringing in a few from the Void that can help us. It does sound
like each of these Order people could be a problem if we're not
careful and underestimate them. We do also have to worry about
Black Sun, the Iscariot, and Hellsing from what I've been told.
I'm sure that Zedd hasn't seen the full scope of their abilities
if what I've heard about them is true. And I have heard that the
Blackfires have had all of their people in training as of late
to do their best to train for the upcoming war with this world.
What he saw may not be the full extent of the power they have
now. While he was tolerating Odeala sitting next to him and
leaning to him, he was trying to be careful with her sitting
next to him. He looks over to the group as he uses his shadow to
teleport in a crate of his own. He kicks it over to the group,
being careful not to knock Odeala off him. These are some gifts
from Lord Malice and Lady Saskia.
Silvio goes over and opens the crate, putting stuff on the
table. There were four sets of objects in total.
Kierran: The first one we have is the monster cells of Lady
Saskia. Guaranteed to grant any creature immense power
comparable to that of a demon lord or demon prince. The second
are pendents infused with the energy of Lord Malice, designed to
infuse into anyone who is seeking the power of a Malician. The
hearts are void dragon hearts, which I've heard you have
dracopyres in your midst. This also helps grant normal people
the powers of dragons, in this case the void dragon which lives
in Lord Malice's territory. They are... unique dragons. One
which most people don't have resistance too. And the last thing
is the Fluid of the Dark. I guess it's not unlike blood of
Cyäegha, except that this grants people the power of the Dark, a
race of void dark spirits that feed on the light and feed on the
souls of the living. I've seen some who use these gain the power
of dark spirits, or some gain the power of the void. Right now,
most of my stuff is meant to grant deals for anyone seeking to
join Lord Malice or Lady Saskia.
Silvio: It seems between the two of you, you are both well
equipped. He says to them both John and Kierran.

John places the vial in his back in the wooden case, closes the
case, and put it back in his pocket for now as he listens. He's
quite impressed by what Kierran has brought from Lord Malice and
Lady Saskia and it shows on his face. John: Yes, it seems we
most certainly have, Silvio. Now to figure out who shall receive
what kind of enhancements and begin training and rebuilding.
Silvio, as you know who may be the most loyal among Nightshade,
I will leave you to begin deciding who will get what kind of
gifts. John then holds up his right hand as if holding something
like pictures and hell-fire leaps from his finger tips. The
flames die down to reveal two pictures of a man and a woman.
John: The man is Cesdreal's human identity and form. In public,
he goes by the name of Jian Yinying, a very wealthy playboy
antique and antiquities dealer. He should be in Paris for a few
weeks for a couple of special auctions, one of the art and
antiques variety and one of the more.. well.. nefarious
specialty. I recommend going to the latter of the two auctions
which will be held in a couple of weeks in the Paris Catacombs
which I'm sure we can get you an invitation to that much easier
than the more public auction, Lord Zedd. The woman is the
necromancer descendant of Rasputin who lives in the Black Forest
of Romania. Her name is Dysnomia Rasputin, and she is
notoriously unwelcoming of trespassers. That reputation is where
your power to be empowered by curses will come in handy when
approaching her home as curses and hexes are how she keeps
everyone off her land. She's stubborn but levelheaded and
impressed with power from what I've been told by those of her
family who have already passed on. John moves his hand towards
Zedd and walks closer so Zedd can take them. John: Odeala will
also be helpful when dealing with Dysnomia since Odeala is a
servant of an Ancient One. John then reaches in his left pants
pocket and pulls out a smooth, jeweled obsidian stone carved
with a summoner's control sigil. John: I'll give you this before
you go though. Tiamat and I thought it was best to put Odeala on
a short leash for now. All the holder needs to do in order to
restrain her and force their will on her is to slightly focus on
intent and rub counterclockwise. To release and free Odeala up,
then you rub the stone clockwise. Not best to just let a Hidden
One of Azathoth loose after thousands of years until you know
they can behave and keep from killing just for the fun of it.
Odeala is genuinely surprised by how careful Kierran is being
with her leaning on him. That carefulness causes her to smile
out of appreciation but only very briefly as she returns her
attention to the conversation. She gives a bored yawn here and
there while the four men talk until John pulls out the
summoner's stone that controls her and explains it to everyone.
Her expression goes from bored interest to anger with a soft,
restrained growl that only Kierran would be able to hear. It's
obvious that she doesn't like John's little safety control over
her.

Zedd: Well... Once I get back to my moon base, I should have no
problem finding them. He says after John shows him the pictures.
He takes the pictures and the stone. What's wrong with having
some fun killing some people now and then? He says jokingly.
Kierran: How I'd planned to handle enhancements was to have your
people receive your enhancements, and those that join me will
receive void enhancements. It will be important to train our
specific groups to handle their specific jobs. You and I will
likely have different goals with our groups, so it's best to
plan our enhancements accordingly. And it would depend on who
they wish to align with. I'm not going for force anyone that
wants to stay with you, but I also won't deny anyone who wants
to join me. This way we can more easily keep our forces more
organized, and have clear goals for each organization so there's
not too much overlap or risk of us stepping on each other's
toes. With Zedd as a unifying force for all three groups, we
should have no problem working separately, but still working
together. I think it will be more effective than even Black
Sun's organization. They are more unified, but not quite
organized to the extent I plan to organize our forces. It works
for them since they're a family, but for us, we have so many
randoms working together its going to be important to keep our
forces unified as best we can. He explains to John about how he
had planned to organize their forces by essentially having them
choose either the void or John's gods to ally with. Right...
Those that worked with Zenrael, Phantom as assigned to me as
well. So Zenrael's servants will be coming with me to help set
up my group. He says to the group.
Silvio: I actually haven't been with this group for that long...
But I can try to help out based on what I've seen so far. So far
a lot of your people have been loyal... it's been Zenrael's
group I'm pretty sure have been in it for themselves. He says in
response to John's comment about him knowing who has been loyal.

John: Oh there is nothing wrong with killing people now and
then, but Odeala likes taking out an entire town worth of people
if not kept in check. No need in alerting our enemies that we
could be regathering and regrouping. Wouldn't you agree, Lord
Zedd? He then looks to Keirran and Silvio as they both speak.
John does take special note to how Odeala is acting around
Keirran as such interest could play a part in keeping her in
check as well. John has come to realize that only a few reasons
could keep Odeala from being dangerously seductive. First,
Odeala can sense that the interest is more powerful than her and
wants to learn more. Second, the person has summoned her through
a necromancer's spell and has firm control over her. Third,
Odeala has sensed something about the person that tells her the
person could be a form of kindred soul. Regardless of the
reason, Odeala is behaving thanks to Keirran and not sizing up
Zedd or Silvio as sacrifices to Azathoth. John: Considering what
I am hearing, it sounds like it would be best if Zenreal is with
your group. I also agree with how the groups will reform and
that it will be more effective. It would be to our best
advantage with such tactic as not only will it allow for
development of techniques against specialized forces of our
enemies. It will also make easier for us to regroup and recruit
with less notice thus less headaches. No need in alerting them
before we're ready. As for my people, I will have to work with
Silvio on seeing who is left since I have been gone for so long.
John then gets a bit thoughtful. John: Is there any other rival
organizations to Black Sun, Hellsing, and their allies that we
may be able to negotiate alliances with?
Odeala sits quietly next to Keirran, still leaned gently against
him, and listens to the conversation though her vision and
thoughts have shifted more to figuring out more about Keirran.
Her eyes slowly, carefully drift over Keirran's body as she
thinks about how he could be so different from other death
wraiths. She's actually fascinated enough with Keirran that
she's not even thinking s3xually nor violently, just pure
curiosity.

Kierran: I will definitely take Zenrael, and make no mistake, he
will be working for ME. Not the other way around. That's
assuming Lord Phantom lets them go free from his grip. He says
the last part with a bit of a shrug. For now, I've been given
command of Zenrael's servants and his people by Lord Phantom. So
it will help me get a head start on recruitment for my group. He
explains when John mentions Kierran taking Zenrael.
When John asks about people who might be counters to other
groups, Silvio is the first to speak up. Silvio: Well... I was
brought in with my criminal group meaning to be a counter to
some of Black Sun's American criminal allies. I know that
Inferno and Black Mask are still running around. I doubt we'd
get Black Mask on our side unless he's desperate, but we might
try getting Inferno. If we offer them a great enough deal, they
might work with us. And I specialize in finding people's prices.
He says with a smile, then he thinks about other groups. I heard
rumors of an anti-Bratva person. He leads a small group seeking
to take out the Bratva. Since the Bratva are allied with Black
Sun, it would benefit us for them to be on our side. And if
they're a crime group, I'm sure I can help in that negotiation
as well.
Kierran: There is a group I'm going to try and recruit that
apparently is seeking to take out the Iscariot as their biggest
rivals... I don't know how it will go, and I don't know much
about them. But Lord Malice said they would be helpful. I'm also
going to see about trying to recruit a vampire who can counter
the Camarilla and the Sabbat, and maybe try to find other
werewolf and vampire groups who can be turned to Lady Saskia's
side. I think you would like who I have in mind. He says to John
Wong. You see, I heard you have a certain oath to kill a certain
werepyre. This vampire headed a clan of dark arts users, wiped
out by the Sabbat and Camarilla. But she'll be seeking Kindron
Darkfire's head as much as you and Silvio here if not more
because he was the one who murdered her. She's also successfully
turned the Darkfires against the werewolf alchemists in the
past, and it is possible she might be able to help turn some of
our enemies against each other. He says, looking to Silvio. He
then turns back to John. She can also train a new generation of
vampires in the dark arts, and rebuild a version of her clan
with our groups depending on who she chooses to join.
Originally, her clan was strict about not going into the realm
of Lord Xeles, or Lord Malice, but I think she won't be strict
about that this time around since she's trying to make a deal
with Lord Malice from Purgatory, something I thought was
impossible.

John listens to Silvio and Keirran closely as they speak. He's
glad that both have groups and people that they want to approach
as most of those he knows these days are demons and primordials
who will be more difficult to get due to imprisonment. John does
recall a group from his days prior to Kindron sending him to
Hell. John: Silvio, since you are currently more connected than
I am, there is another organization that you can approach.
They're an assassins and thieves guild that has branches across
the world called Teufelsjäger Guild, or better know as the
Devil's Huntsmen. They have enemy guilds, such as the Guilde des
Voleurs or the League of Assassins, that could align with our
enemies due to morals and would be helpful to have on our side
to counter such possibilities. Teufelsjäger Guild's leader is a
stout, incredibly strong man of dwarven descent named Gunter
Heinrich. I would ask Keirran to approach Gunter, but I have a
feeling that you might know more about at least one of his
enemies than Keirran. That kind of knowledge plus giving him an
offer he can't refuse might give you a good chance at
negotiations. Gunter was a very savvy businessman who've I have
dealt with in the past before Kindron killed me, and I'm fairly
confident that he still is and won't turn away someone with a
business deal. He then pauses for a moment. John: I also have
another idea for a possible ally, but I do not think that our
Keirran here will like such an idea though. I heard that the
Death Wraith homeworld in the Shadow Realm under went a change
of management and is now having some.. issues. The rumors in
Hell is that the Keirran Black of this world took down the Death
Wraith Council and seized power. If the Death Wraith's new
ruling party is having such difficulties, then perhaps we might
be able to offer assistance in exchange for his alliance. Just
an idea though.
Odeala lets out a soft growl when John begins talking about her
former home and people.

Kierran: Work with them if you must... But I don't need another
version of myself running around my organization. Especially
this one that clings to the old ways. The only reason I'd let
him here is to kill him myself. I can't stand working with other
versions of myself... He says with disgust.
Silvio: There's a killing yourself joke in there somewhere. He
says jokingly in response to Kierran.
Kierran: And the death wraiths annoy me too much for them to be
good allies to me... Except maybe as fodder to vent my
frustrations on. Honestly, I'd rather kill them all and build
our own forces right on top of their own homeland after killing
all those short-sided fools. He says,. And of course, his
distaste for working with death wraiths in general also showed
due to past experiences.
Silvio: I have heard the rumor mill... But I have it on pretty
good authority that our world's Kierran Black isn't responsible
for their deaths. He just got forced into leading after dark
spirits hunted down and killed most of them. Kierran never
gained his position through any method of outright seizing...
But if he didn't have something to do with it, I'll be
surprised. Something about him is even snakier than I am. And
that is saying a lot. He says, as he knew based on what he had
heard that something about how Kierran was portrayed in the dark
spirit attacks on the council and the things that happened to
his old team had left him with his own suspicions as someone who
also keeps their true goals secret from the normal people. Even
though "Kierran" had survived multiple dark spirit attacks, and
had fought Zenrael multiple times, Silvio wasn't going to trust
the London "Kierran."
Zedd: I'll see what I can do... They may not respond to our
friend Kierran here, but maybe I can... make use of them. If
nothing else, I'll take their essence and turn them into
monsters I can use. He says with a menacing chuckle.

John: The idea of going to the death wraths was just that, an
idea. I can see that the idea was a poor one. John admits after
listening to the others. John: Then we'll focus on those that
will be of service. It might be wise to start with the easiest
to recruit first such as Cesdreal, Inferno, and the Teufelsjäger
Guild. The more difficult to recruit, whether it's due to
reclusive, suspicious natures or because they'll be difficult to
set free, can be focused on and planned afterwards. I know how
difficult places, like Purgatory, will be to transverse and
retrieve those meant to remain, and we'll want to make sure to
have everything planned perfectly in order to avoid trouble.
This way we can build forces before our enemies learn too much
about our activities. Sound good? John had long since learned
that treating equals respectfully can be a far better method of
working with others than being hotheaded like he use to be.
Odeala calms down a bit and goes back to quietly studying the
others.
