Aleister Crowley watched from within tank as holograms appeared all around this room within the Windowless Building.
Holograms of each of the members of the Board of Directors were in a furious argument with each other.
"We should let Tennyson be destroyed if you want my opinion!" said one man. "He's already proven that he doesn't follow Academy City's policies after he blatantly dismantled Project Silent Beating. And with those Ultimate Forms, he's far too dangerous to keep around!!"
"But that other institution that specializes in supernatural powers is even more of a threat!" said a woman. "If we utilize the Omnitrix in the current war, he could be an incredible asset!! The Russians wouldn't stand a chance!!"
"Yes!" said another board member. "Imagine Way Big destroying an entire military in an instant!"
"And then imagine Way Big destroying our city!!" said yet another board member. "He's too dangerous!!"
"Enough.." said Aleister. "Tennyson won't betray Academy City... not yet at least.. and even if he were to try.. it wouldn't be optimal for him.. his loyalty is with which ever side would most likely fit his definition of 'saving the world'. A hero mentality of that sort is easily molded to our whims.."
Aleister smiled slightly. He wouldn't let God's Right Seat take away one of his greatest weapons other then Imagine Breaker so easily... it was time to unleash it..
"So far, it appears Tennyson is well enough protected.. but Imagine Breaker remains vulnerable.. activate Project Predator.
All the holograms started. They couldn't see Aleister.. not like he could see them.. but their reaction to his voice was that of shock..
"Project Predator was created to fight against Tennyson in the event of his rebellion.." said one board member. "But the calculations of her ability to fight Tennyson went off the fritz when Tennyson unlocked the Ultimatrix Initiative."
"I don't want her to fight Tennyson, he is useful to us still." said Aleister. "She is to guard Imagine Breaker.. till the incident blows over.."
"That... is a little unorthodox." said a board member.
Aleister's smile grew only slightly wider. This was going to prove most interesting.. most interesting indeed, if his calculations proved correct..

Touma Kamijou woke with a start.. he was still at the Ice-cream parlor that Index had made him promise to take her to after he had come home from being forced into drills by the strange alien Plumber who was in Ben and Mikoto's dorm..
It had taken a while for the fact to fall that Acqua was coming.. but he was.. and Touma knew he had to be prepared for it.. so he had gone home to inform Index.. only to be berated with
"TOOOOUUUUMMMAAAAA!! YOU PROMISED WE'D GO OUT FOR ICE CREAM!!!"
And so here they were.. at 8'o clock at night, at this rate they were going to break Academy City curfew laws.
Index was sitting across from Touma, working cheerfully on a particularly massive ice cream sundae.
"Touma! Mmmmf It's so good! mmmmmfff! Aren't you going to try some?" Index exclaimed in between gulps.
"Nah.. go ahead." Touma said. "I'm expecting a call from Ben though.. did my phone ring?"
"Nope.. mmfff.. so.. is it true there are actual Intergalactic Policemen inside Ben's place!? With Necessarius!?" said Index.
"Yep.." said Ben.
"I hope the others (meaning Stiyl or Kanzaki) take some pictures!" said Index. "I wanna see some more aliens! Did they look cool?"
