Within the secret bunker, two particular individuals were walking alongside each other. Zai was allowed inside due to Tanigo's request to the other Co-Founders as they are aware of Zai's capabilities and prowess. Yet walking alongside him to the meeting room where they needed to be, is Magni Dezmond, which most people knew him for being Shu Yamino's assistant teacher.

Dezmond: "So Zai, you nervous bud?"

Sonzai: "Not at all Dez-San. I am just surprised that I am allowed in here in the first place. Yet why are you allowed in here?"

Dezmond: "Ah~ For you see, I am actually part of the meeting, so I won't be attending the Academy for a little while."

Zai was honestly surprised about that as he knew Dezmond as more of the alchemist kind of guy, yet he didn't question it because there is always more than meets the eye. The two eventually arrived to the room where they needed to be, swinging the large doors open to see a group of individuals standing there in front of the large circular table, with Motoaki Tanigo and Gunrun standing on the other side of it.

Tanigo: "Oh Zai! You made it just in time."

Gunrun: "So this is the infamous Kukyona Sonzai? The one with Chaos Magic?"

Tanigo: "That is correct Gunrun. He is a valued ally in this operation."

Gunrun: "No worries, I have nothing against this plan. We need all the help we can get anyways."

Tanigo: "True. Now that everyone is here, I think it is best for me to explain what is going on. However, I think it is also better to introduce each other so you all can get acquainted, mainly for Zai."

The members of the TEMPUS group walk up to him, planning on introducing themselves to Zai. The first one to walk up was a young man with blue hair and green eyes. He did give off a peacefully wild aura about him as he had a comforting smile on his face.

???: "Greetings Zai. I'm Regis Altare, leader of TEMPUS. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Altare outstretched his hand for Zai to shake it, with him accepting it.

Sonzai: "The pleasure is all mine Altare."

The next to introduce themselves is someone who would seem to be an individual Zai could most likely get along with if they have met some other time. This individual had a strange presence like as if he was battle hardened, a gladiator's spirit is what Zai would describe if he were to say it aloud.

???: "I'm Axel Syrios. You could consider me as a powerful fighter, but yet I have heard some things about you as well."

Zai narrowed his eyes a bit.

Sonzai: "Of what exactly?"

Axel: "I may know a lot of things about you, but no worries. I won't say anything unless you want me to."

Zai nods in response to Axel's comment as the next person introduced themselves in the process. This individual seemed to be older than most of them at least as he gave off a bit of an older gentleman vibe. Yet Zai couldn't properly describe his presence over all as it was strange while he couldn't find the correct words to describe it.

???: "Hello Zai, I'm Noir Vesper. I'm not much of a fighter, but I can help out whenever I can, though I prefer to stick to books if you catch what I'm saying."

Zai chuckled a little at this, making him somewhat understand.

Sonzai: "No worries Vesper. I ain't forcing you to fight or anything."

Vesper: "I see. That is quite a relief as I've heard some things about your Supernatural capabilities."

The next person introduced themselves almost immediately as Vesper finished what he was saying. This next person gave off a bit of a trickster vibe, but a jester more or less. Zai could tell he was more of an entertainment kind of guy, which makes him think that Filian might actually do great for someone like him.

???: "I'm Gavis Bettel. I've actually always wanted to meet you in person Zai."

Bettel had his hand outstretched for a handshake as he accepted it, yet as Zai shook his hand, he could feel a strange presence besides Bettel, yet he couldn't see anything, so he thought that his mind was playing tricks on him. Yet he was proven wrong in a little creature of unknown origins appeared on Bettel's shoulder.

Zai was rather intrigued with the little one-eyed guy. Bettel chuckled a bit.

Bettel: "You like this little guy huh? I happened to have found him out of pure chance."

Sonzai: "He's a strange little guy."

Bettel: "Aren't we all strange little guys?"

Zai honestly questioned Bettel's logic on that one as the next person began to introduce themselves. This person however was more respectful as he bowed in respect towards Zai. He didn't seem too much older necessarily as he seemed rather new in this group.

???: "Greetings Kukyona Sonzai, I'm Banzoin Hakka. Exorcist in taking down spirits. I hope we face against this threat together."

Sonzai: "There's no need to bow Hakka. I don't need such respect."

Hakka: "But I insist. I've heard wonderous tales of your brilliance and strength. It'll be an honour fighting alongside you against a common foe."

Zai honestly didn't want to outright reject Hakka's idea as he simply just accepted it as is. The next person introduced themselves as he definitely seemed taller than most of the people in the room as he did have quite a muscular build. Yet he gave off a somewhat tranquil vibe.

???: "Greetings Zai. I'm Josuiji Shinri. A Ronin who is an expert in archery."

Sonzai: "A pleasure to meet you Shinri."

Dezmond: "And then you get me, Magni Dezmond. I'm part of TEMPUS in case you couldn't tell Zai."

Zai honestly at first didn't realize that Dezmond was part of the group known as TEMPUS, but when he thought about it more, it made sense. 

Tanigo: "Now that everyone has introduced themselves, Zai, you are aware of who they are right?"

Zai nodded in response as he voiced his opinion on TEMPUS.

Sonzai: "TEMPUS is a group that travels around the world tackling dangerous threats that could harm the world and its inhabitants, while also hunting down monsters that somehow manage to escape the Bermuda Triangle."

Gunrun: "Correct. I suppose it's time to begin what you all are called here for."

Gunrun then taps a few times on the desk, with the desk then splitting apart slightly revealing a holographic projection that shows images of things that they wanted to talk about.

Tanigo: "In case most of you aren't aware, there is a group that has been in hiding for a long time, only revealing themselves recently. The High Society appears to be a cult following that is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy Humanity to bring the Supernatural to the top. Though we can understand that part, but the way they are going at it is against the natural balance of peace. They also appear to have technology beyond our proper understanding. Even though we have Zentreya who is from the future, when I checked in with her, she didn't recognize the tech. So all we can go off of is that we are dealing with a group of fanatics that has access to technology that is dangerous to all."

Altare: "Apologies for speaking Yagoo, but can't you call in the Council to bring them down if it ruins the balance?"

Tanigo shakes his head.

Tanigo: "I'm afraid that would be impossible as they have managed to not cause problems to the point that tracking them down with the help of the Council will be pointless. They have somehow managed to cover their tracks over most of their past efforts."

Gunrun: "Judging by their patterns, it would appear that they are most likely situated around either the American continents, or within the European continent. Most signs of their activities appeared in those particular regions. We don't know how or why they are able to get around easily, but if we don't figure out who their leader is, we may never be able to track them down."

Hakka: "Is it really that bad?"

Tanigo: "Unfortunately so. Yet another thing we know of so far is that they are after this generation's Omni Magician. For whatever purpose we don't know, but we must keep them away from him as much as possible to prevent conflict."

Sonzai: "Yagoo, Gunrun. I get the idea that we are keeping Lukas Misaki out of harms' way, but what were to happen if he were to get involved?"

Gunrun: "That won't be necessary. We have informed the other teachers to be keeping a close eye on him to prevent him from doing anything reckless. But if he does end up getting involved, we can't do much to stop him."

Tanigo: "However we will ensure that he continues his Academy activities until he is required. This issue may involve him to some degree, but we shouldn't risk his life over something this major and not have a backup plan."

Altare: "So we're just going to keep him out of this?"

Tanigo: "It is the safest option we got Altare. We need to make sure that Humanity in under any circumstances not in harms' way as well as them not knowing of the enemy. It is a difficult task, but we need to be covert about this. Zai, what did you tell Lukas Misaki before you came here?"

Sonzai: "I didn't tell him much besides the part that he is moving into the Academy grounds for his own protection."

Tanigo: "Good, then we can make sure that everything is kept on the downlow. We wouldn't want both the Supernatural and Humanity to be aware of the crisis that is about to unfold."

Axel then scoffs.

Axel: "You know that if anything big happens, things will get out. The Supernatural is always able to learn of recent large scale conflicts, while Humanity always can spread their information through the web."

Gunrun: "That's why I am funding your covert operations. We need to handle this discreetly and as efficient as possible. I need to head to XSOLEIL to talk to Tazumi to ensure that things go smoothly as the SSF can cover up most of your tracks."

Tanigo: "With that said, we need to focus on the issue at hand. This is what you have to do. Head over to Europe and the American continents. Find out information regarding to the High Society. Return all forms of information to me as we can plan this out as it goes along. If you must kill, then do so. You all must be discreet about this as if any of this get out to the public, there will be chaos."

Altare: "We get the idea Yagoo. We won't let you down."

Tanigo: "Good, now get some rest tonight. You're all beginning tomorrow. Dismissed."

The entirety of TEMPUS along with Zai ended up leaving the room as the table returned to normal. Once Gunrun and Tanigo were alone, Tanigo sighed as he rubbed his eyes.

Gunrun: "Are you sure you can't call upon the Council for help?"

Tanigo: "No, I can't...."

Tanigo then looked onto his hand, seeing a particular ring with an insignia that many wouldn't recognize.

Tanigo: "Even if I did, they wouldn't be able to track the High Society down. They will most likely return into hiding as well, ruining the search and making it much more difficult than needed."

Gunrun: "I do get that, but with their help, we might be able to track them down faster."

Tanigo: "No. You don't know them as well as I do. I may have survived to see them once, it doesn't mean that they are willing to co-operate with us in an instant. Omega Alpha has made that clear to me already. So no, we can't ask for their help and their strongest, being above them, Omega isn't allowed to help as it would ruin the balance over all."

Gunrun then sighs.

Gunrun: "Well then, I guess we're going to have to solve this ourselves."

Tanigo: "Yeah..."

The atmosphere between them became silent, yet they both knew one thing, this isn't going to be an easy situation to handle. They both know that if things get out of hand, they could call upon the Council, but what would it guarantee? It could force the High Society into hiding again, or it could do the opposite, bringing more imbalance to the world as it is already. It would cause Humanity to discover about the Supernatural, possibly even leading to further conflicts, which might be what the High Society wanted in the first place. So all they could do is do things in a more discreet manner instead of doing this in a war-like fashion. 

Yet they both know as well that the Omni Magician might be one of the only keys to winning this in-fighting warfare that is about to begin, but if the enemy is after Lukas, then what else are they supposed to do? So with all of this in mind, they are hoping that they pull the right cards into their favour, because if not, things can go south really easily....
