AvA: Domination

Chapter 2: The Meeting

After the announcement was made, Bit returned to the meeting room. King watched him walk over to a cabinet and open a drawer. He pressed a red button studded into the drawer and King heard a horn-like sound blare in the distance, and then hurried footsteps... coming from multiple people, it seemed.

Just as Bit sat down at the head of the long table next to King, the door opened and several sticks King had never seen before filed into the room. They all sat down at the table, looking at Bit and glancing curiously at King.

"Alright, so," Bit began, "I suppose you've already spotted the new ally in our midst."

A purple stick pointed at King... kind of mockingly, which King didn't like very much. "This guy, I presume?" she asked Bit.

Bit nodded. King raised a hand in greeting.

"His name is King Orange," Bit said, "but he prefers King. We were just talking about his past; I'll fill you all in later. For now, let's have a brief introduction, then we can begin planning."

Everyone took turns introducing themselves to King. Some of them were eager, some of them... not as much. By the time they'd finished, it was almost noon, and sounds of trading and laughter could be heard from the market down below.

"So, King," Bit said, "Would you mind telling us all you know about who we're going up against?"

"Okay," King agreed, "So I don't know much about any of the sticks, but I do know that they all have powers. You've all probably already heard of or encountered the Chosen One and/or the Deserved One, so you should all most likely know exactly what they can do."

Several sticks nodded. The purple stick, Lorona, leaned forward and hissed, "What about the Second Coming?"

"You ask them," King replied quietly. Lorona sat back down and sulked.

"You've probably also heard of the Color gang." Seeing a lot of nods, King continued. "Well, they now have powers, gifted to them by the Elemental One and his brother, Positive. These two are mostly black, with Elemental having five other colors, and Positive only having one.

"There are another pair of siblings, the Multiversal One and the Universal One. Both sticks have similar powers to Chosen's. Two other sticks, Lime and Imperial Vermillion, have similar powers to each other: they both can summon cursors and use them as weapons.

"Two other former-archenemies, Mr. Ragey and Disaster Guy, are red and green. Red Ragey has fire powers, and Green Guy has brute strength. There are two other sticks that have brute strength: green Kod Eye and Shaira. Kod can also shoot lasers. Shaira is a younger stick than most of them; there are two other young sticks, Ditzyshine and Plasma. They're both blue; one's shade is lighter than the other. Ditzy has ice powers, whereas Plasma is afraid of the cold.

"Another stick, Silverfrost, also has ice powers. She has a partner, Victim, who can turn invisible. Blue Smiling Lord smiles at people, white Purity also has similar powers to Chosen's, and there's this dark green stick that I don't know the name to. She's one of our main targets, as she's one of the most powerful ones; if we can take her out, it'll be a huge advantage for us."

No-one spoke. Finally, Bit broke the silence. "Well, I think that gives us all a clue of how to go against our enemies, right?" he asked, clasping his hands together.

Everyone nodded. A dull-colored pink stick piped up. "I think you forgot to mention the Second Coming."

"Told you," Lorona muttered.

"I assumed you all know who he is already," King replied, "Don't you, Aichor?"

"Well... I do," Aichor said grudgingly.

"Y'see? Oh, there's also this other stick named Purple, my archenemy."

"Whoa, you didn't mention that before!" Bit exclaimed.

"I didn't think it was the right time, sorry," King confessed.

"Nah, it's fine. So, let's talk tactics and strategy first, then we can move on to battle preparations. We've got a lot of work to do."
