Chapter 6

3 years ago.
Location: Lirhan, The underground bases of the King's palace, Vetnis

The place looked so caved in, yet it was well built. The torches that lit the room gave it an eerie glow and made Sigils, Biffle, Henwy and Nico butterflies in their stomach about this meeting with the most important person in the whole of Lirhan.

The king eyed each of them carefully. "So, you all have been chosen for a very important mission. A mission that will possibly determine the fate of this world."

An awkward silence.

The kind continued. "You four have been a great team in fighting the rebellion that has been trying to overthrow me as leader and trying to establish their own nation and rebuild this world.

"They have been spreading corruption that has been slowly overcoming the world, a corruption that has been making people use their powers for evil and terrible things.

"Our armies have been desperately trying to defeat the rebellion, but all our desperate attempts have failed, and corruption is spreading and the rebellion is taking over.

"So we need to defend our planet. My people have researched this new planet, it is called Earth. I'm sending you there to find new supers to help save our planet from the rebellion."

The Regulars stared at each other in surprise. They had expected a plan on how to defeat the rebellion, not being sent to get help elsewhere.

"So..." Sigils began, unsure of how to respond to this seemingly impossible task. "We have to go to a new planet?"

A thousand questions began pouring out of Biffle's mouth. "How will we get there? Is this really necessary? Are we out of options here? How do we find people with magic? Does this planet have humans, hybrids or both?"

The king eyed the Regulars one by one, carefully. "The most important thing about this mission is bringing the new supers here to fix everything."

"We know," Sigils said.

"Be careful. We'll hold back the rebellion and the corruption for as long as we can."

Henwy gave a worried look. "Are you sure you can hold back the rebellion? They've got powerful people with even more powerful powers!"

The king gave a small smile.."I know but me and the army will handle it, don't worry."

"You sure?" biffle asked worriedly

"Yes I am," the king said.

Nico was about to ask something when someone knocked on the door to the secret meeting room. The door opened, and came in Hilkio, the king's loyal advisor who was a cat hybrid with orange fur and dull gray streaks. "It's ready."

The king turned towards the Regulars. "Go with Hilkio. He will show you the vehicle you will use to get to Earth."

Hilkio beckoned towards the Regulars to follow him. They did and they followed him to a room with a simple looking vehicle. "It looks simple so you can blend in easier with the Earthlings." said Hilkio. "You should go, before the rebellion knows about this plan."

The Regulars entered the vehicle and Nico took the pilot's wheel. Hilkio briefly showed the maneuvering controls. Then Nico paused for a second before asking, "How do we know where to go?"

Hilkio smiled. "It'll show you the way to go."

"Stay safe," Henwy called out to Hilkio.

" You guys stay even more safe," Hilkio said. "Humans on Earth don't have powers. But you'll find the people there with powers quite easily, especially with Nico's power."
