Capítulo 62: Before the Invasion (1)
Earlier
A black smoke appeared and Tom materialized, he opened his mental link with Kai and asked him, "Where are you? I've arrived." Kai responded instantly "Stay where you are, I will pick you up."
He then activated his [Mind's Eye] and expanded it until it covered the entire academy. He found Tom's energy signature instantly at one of the sports fields. But in addition to Tom's signature, he also found many much more powerful auras than Tom's on campus. He assumed that these were the Emperors that were called by Dracul.
He reached Tom's location immediately and stopped in front of him. "Tom," he greeted and extended his arm to shake his hand. Tom watched as he did this and after looking at his arm blankly he understood what he meant and shook his hand as a form of greeting.
Both Kai and Tom weren't very comfortable with touching other people for long periods of times. After shaking their hands Kai escorted him to his room.
While he was escorting Tom, Annabelle had discovered them and was on guard at the being that had an aura that rivalled her own. In addition to the aura, the magical energy in the surroundings was being attracted to him. This showed that his attainments in the magical arts were higher than hers.
This caused her to feel oppressed as she had never thought that someone as young as Tom could rival her own abilities. After all, she had hundreds of years to master her own magic while Tom had obviously not passed the hundred years old mark. However, he still beat her in terms of talent, that didn't necessarily mean that he could beat her a shaman.
Like Kai, he had brought with him a rather arrogant aura and this put her off. She couldn't underestimate him. "Who's this Kai?" She asked politely trying to keep her emotions in check.
"This is my good friend Tom, he has agreed to help the academy with its battle against Dahak."
She looked at him with a how is that going to help me look and dragged him away from Tom and established a weak sound nullifying barrier.
"Now tell me what his identity is?"
"That's an awfully rude way of asking Annabelle." Kai chided with a grin.
"I need to know what his identity is otherwise he won't be able to enter the academy. As one of the chief members of security in times of supernatural danger, I have the right to bar entry and even kill an intruder if he is seen to be a threat to the academy's safety."
"Whatever, he's the Dark Lords' Court's boss," Kai said without any care, while inwardly thinking 'so am I.'
"What! You mean the Dark Lords' Court that has managed to take control of all of the major companies and organizations in the world. That's crazy, how could you say it so casually like its nothing."
Kai smirked and said, "I've gotten used to it over the years." 'After all, officially Tom is the Infernal Lord, the boss of the Court. Only a select few know that I have even more powerful than him.'
"Anyway, he told me that he has gathered all of his forces for battle. So, I suggest you be polite, after all, it is incredibly rude to give a powerful benefactor such a terrible attitude," Kai said with an amused voice. "I suggest you apologize immediately, Tom is an incredibly busy person."
She thanked him and before she went over to Tom she told Kai that Dracul had called him to come over to one of the central assembly halls.
Tom looked annoyed at the fact that Annabelle was coming over to him and glanced at her with a bored look. Kai saw that Tom wasn't planning to kill her and left towards the direction of the hall.
He reached the hall entered the building. What awaited him instead of Dracul, was Malcolm and Penelope. They both had angry and jealous looks on their faces.
"Why did Dracul call you?" Penelope shouted causing him to look at her with a bored expression. "Now, now Penelope have some sort of control over your temper before you start yelling like a convict from a mental asylum.
I've had to put up with your crazed attacks almost every time I've met you and I've had enough restraining myself. So, control yourself before you do something you regret.
"Oh, come on we both know that the only thing you can rely on is your cat and I know for a fact that he isn't here otherwise Malcolm would have sensed it." But before she could finish her threat Malcolm growled causing her to flinch. He was clearly angry at the fact that she had spoken about him like he was a mere guard dog.
"Sorry" she apologized to Malcolm. This time he was the one that spoke to Kai, "but I don't know how you are able to enter this meeting of Emperors when you clearly aren't one.
I know that you aren't a second generation vampire like you have led us to believe, no instead you are something else otherwise Dracul wouldn't have had so much interest with you. So what are you?"
Kai looked at their threatening postures and smirked, "what will you do if I won't tell you? Attack me, fool if I am allowed in this hall while you aren't. Clearly, it means that I am more powerful than you."
He had decided to drop all pretences and had shown his true thoughts after all they were aware that he was not a weakling as he had pretended to be and instead something much more powerful.
"Don't test me, Kai. As the chief of my clan, I can possess the power to rival a pseudo emperor if necessary, albeit for a short time. This is more than enough to deal with you." Malcolm felt that if such a powerful being was able to act like he was a weakling for such a long time then he was extremely dangerous.
"Is that so," Kai asked as he started to release his aura. "You want to challenge me to do you."
"If necessary I will put you in your place." Malcolm also started to show his aura and it clashed with Kai's.
But as Kai was clearly more powerful than Malcolm, he was starting to have difficulties with his clash and had to start transforming into his true form.
His eye glowed yellow, while his hands became hooked and turned into claws. But even then, he couldn't beat Kai, who appeared just as relaxed as he was in the beginning. Penelope was starting to collapse under the immense pressure. Even the ground had started to crack.
Kai waved his hand and said, "enough, you are destroying the hall with the terrible control of your aura." Malcolm was put under so much pressure that he had started to lose his control over his aura and as a result, let it destroy the surroundings.
Also, do you want to fight me before Dahak arrives and die? How humiliating, true enough this is the standards of the savage wolves." He then entered the hall before Malcolm could say anything.
He sat in an empty seat that was shaped in a crescent, before waiting five minutes. As soon as the clock struck eleven almost every chair was inhabited by a powerful individual. Each of them was extremely powerful and Kai wasn't sure if he could face any of the beings in the room.
Dracul strode in and addressed the room…
----------------------------
After the meeting
Kai looked at the woman who had stayed behind with surprise showing in his eyes.
It was Bathilda Bagshot.
Yes, the kind witch that had directed him to the Potter residence and later agreed to join his organization before disappearing.
"Well you certainly have become more powerful, but I doubt how helpful you could be against a pseudo Demigod like Dahak. " She said this while transforming herself into a tall and enchanting young woman wearing a dark green dress.
"I see that you have met Morgana Le Fay, Kai," Dracul said from behind Kai. "It seems that she is the only other Emperor that has agreed to fight Dahak instead of hiding. We should be grateful."

dragonfang1917 Sorry for the delay, I've been swamped with my projects as well as studying for my exams.
In this chapter, I've given a major hint to what Malcolm and Penelope are.
Also who saw Bathilda Bagshot would turn out to be Morgana. I've planned this ever since I introduced her into the story.
