The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 57 - A Vital Discussion

Last chapter, the story skipped to the day of when the fated meeting between the higher ups of the Hopian Army would occur. Head Commander Prósopsi, leader of the Hopian Army, with his godly companion Aphrodite who gives him his confidence went to inform "Father Kingmas" Ontarus, "Easter" the golden robot Ufisator, and the monstrous "Halloween" Aora that the meeting would be happening shortly.

Prósopsi's P.O.V.

"Haaaaahaha!! You just got denied- she only looked at you for a second after you used an ability that's literally only meant to make people bow to you! How pathetic, this is exactly why I changed your name to "Prósopsi" all those years ago!" Aphrodite mocks me as I slam the door to the gym shut with me trying to hide the mad and embarrased look on my face- which luckily isn't too hard due to the confidence Aphrodite's power gives me.

"Shut up." I respond boldly to keep my pride intact, which for some reason makes Aphrodite blush and smile...

"I hope I don't regret saying that... anyways, should I get anything ready for the meeting? I could get some snacks, I'm sure at least Ontarus would like them... maybe? But then, today two of the Commanders completely disrespected me... so no, I'll keep the meeting formal to keep them in check." I think to myself quickly and efficiently, as me and Aphrodite are already approaching the heavy wooden door to the empty conference room.

"Heh, god damn you're still huge." I finally hear the sound of the first Commander, Ontarus, say after I've been standing by the door for more than 20 minutes... and looking towards the sound I can see that Ontarus wearing his black rainbow neon rimmed fedora, denim jacket, and gray pants while holding a blunt in his hand like always is staring up at the giant golden robot walking beside him with his red eyes, Ufisator.

"AhyesIcannotgrow... so... I... will... always... be... likethis. Howhaveyoubeensir?" Ufisator asks in his monotone tone as his body's time slows down against his will, causing the hundreds of joints in his legs to compress like a spring as he starts to move in slow motion.

He then resumes his normal walking a second later as his legs decompress, with Ontarus letting out a laugh at it as he waits for the bot to catch up to him.

"Damn, still got that wacky power huh? Ah! Head Commander, it's nice to see ya again." Ontarus says timidly as he tilts his hat down at me and continues to walk in my direction.

"Likewise. You too Ufisator. Now we just wait for "her"..." I say in an unamused tone as the two reach the door right next to me as well. Course we won't enter in until Aora gets here though.

"Ah, yeah, that girl was ALWAYS trouble last time I met er'. Still the same?" Ontarus tries to throw her under the automatic bus to kiss up to me as he takes a puff out of his joint.

"Yep. Hopefully she didn't get even worse... and there will be no smoking during the meeting by the way, Ontarus." I say to him semi-casually as I keep my arms crossed to look tough as he coughs out a cloud of smoke.

"Why, he's smoking hot though~" Aphrodite says with a smug look on her face as she continues to sit on my shoulders for some reason and leans down towards my face. I can't even do anything about it either as no one else can see her...

"What?! No smokin'?!" Ontarus starts to complain, but as I'm not in the mood I immediately use the same intimidation powers I used on Aora, glaring down at the fool which immediately makes his eyes widen and for him to fall down to his knees and bow his head down to me.

"OK, so it does still work." I think to myself in relief as Ontarus' blunt falls out of his mouth and on to the tiled floor.

"Now we wait..." I say, trying my best not to sigh as that girl is still nowhere to be seen...
