Zert, Itari, and Jay reached the large mansion in White City. Jay was not sure exactly why they had come here, but he knew who they had come to talk to- the leader of the black hierarchy- the man in the red cloak.
As they climbed the stairs in the mansion, Jay was surprised to find that the room was fully lit, contradicting the eerie red glow that had filled the room his last visit. Similar to his previous visit, however, was the man in the red cloak, seated behind his desk at the opposite side of the room. This time, however, three other men sat across from him, each cloaked in a slightly lighter red cloak.
Jay, Itari, and Zert approached them. Zert spoke first, "007Ki, how's it?"
The man in the red cloak looked up and grinned. "Zert! Long time no see, friend."
Jay processed what had just been said- Zert had referred to the man as 007ki, apparently leaders of Black Hierarchy hadn't been changed, as Atery had told Undershadow.
Itari looked at the other three men. "Who are they?"
007Ki stood up. "Nice to see you too, Itari. They're my generals, and top agents in Black Hierarchy."
Zert continued. "We're going to need your help, and Atery's, too. We're putting the staff back together and finishing what we started three years ago."
007ki raised his eyebrows. "You're serious about this?"
Zert nodded, starting intently at his old friend.
007ki sighed. "Alright, I'll help as soon as I can."
Itari questioned him. "What is that supposed to mean?"
One of the generals turned. "I believe we have the manpower and numbers to launch a perfect surprise attack with a mage force from the flank."
"What's going on here?" Zert questioned.
007Ki sighed. "That new leader of Golden Blades, he just declared war- a final battle with us."
Jay realized what had happened- this was Undershadow's fault.
