A plan of bloodshed and a war that followed the will of Marrho would help the group grow strong.

It also allowed Seeker to find a way to train and grow as well as enhance their techs.

"Marrho's going all in this. And in truth, his will is not far off from what you said. He cannot materialize everything here to reality, anyway. It's much too costly for him. But he will gather whatever is good in this place and take the best of the best who rise from this world to ours. So we might as well make the most of this war." Lennox explained.

"We will be fighting against each other, but I will still need a team. You did find me a team of fighters right?"

"Of course. We have a few candidates that would be of use. We've also prepared your path toward meeting a Presider. It would be best that you meet and kill that Presider."

"Easier said than done. I'm basically an Inhuman in this world. I can barely manage to access my Path just yet."

"It should be harder for you. It took me six months to manifest our powers to the point of a hundred percent success rate of every twenty extraordinary lies."

"Oh, brother. The trouble we had with his insane lies. And the pressure was on me. I had to convince people and make them trust me that Lowengren was a person of great honor. If his lies worked, then my power to make them trust me increased. But we had to kill roughly eighty-seven people just to hide his insanity."

"Bad days?"

"No, the real bad days were when his lies were working and he was trying to test just how far we can go. Presider Westbernt was so mad."

"So, SOOOO mad." Lowengren laughed.

"We made them believe that the weakness of the Ben 10 Killer was garlic and sunlight. He also needed to be killed using a cross."

"...A vampire? Not the Akasha kind. The old kind?" Seeker asked.

"Yes. He sent his strongest squad and carried out a plan. We first moved to kill Presider Fortgleamm. And as expected the other two Presiders, Westbenrt and Mehkaelos, were also planning to attack and kill Fortgleamm and even hoped that they could make the two fight and inherit our Ben10 Band. In the end, they attacked and waited. Westbernt appeared with garlic and stuff. It was hard to fight his team since they were so convinced that it would kill me." Lowengren laughed as he told the story.

"Mehkaelos trusted me in the plan and actually thought he succeeded. Since my Path is for them to trust me, I tried making them trust me with a lie. That was my training in this world. I was trying to merge my Path and Lowengren's. I was infiltrating his ranks and leaking other information. That the Ben10 killer's weakness is..."

"Silver bullets? Vampires and werewolves."

"Please. I'm not like Lowengren. I have class. They believe that the Ben10 weakness is love."

"... What the fragment?"

"Yes. Love."

"Not just any love. Harker really enjoyed himself in this. It was boy love. I... really suffered."

"Mother fragment." Seeker cursed.

"Ah yes, even Lowengren blushed when all those gorgeous men threw themselves at him."

"I was so horrified that I couldn't kill them." Lowengren could only shake his head in defeat."

"That's why, I am secretly one of Mehkaelos's most trusted advisors. Now, I am a spy sent by Mehkaelos here. To find a way to bring down Fortgleamm."

"And I am now working for Fortgleamm, through Pioneer Vackeron Leedon, of course. But I will soon replace him as Fortgleamm believes that Vackeron is an ally of the Ben 10 Killer. And with your return and massacre, I am absolved of any and all suspicions to be the Ben 10 Killer as he knows I am here. While Vackeron's whereabouts at that time, are questionable. The moment we had information about what you did and sent you that message, I also gave Vackeron information that forced him to leave his place and made the Presider suspect him. Vackeron doesn't even know about it." Lowengren chuckled.

"So you guys assimilate with Presiders, while I have to become one myself? Even if I have a team, and being the Truth I could theoretically create a team of powerful individuals here, this is still an unfair battle. You had two years here! And I am just an Inhuman here."

"Way ahead of you. This won't be unfair. Because all you need to do is kill one. While we assimilate with these Presiders, we have prepared the way for you so that you can kill one and take over his techs by yourself. You have to prove to be the Ben 10 Killer when you kill and take over Mehkaelos's system. Lennox has already prepared the way for you to assimilate with his Band. And... you already have a means to easily access Mehkaelos through our plans. And to test whether or not your abilities as the Messiah apply here, then you have to also build a team."

"And you have potential people in mind?"

"Naturally," Lennox answered.

"Harker and Lowengren had already prepared a selection of possible candidates during their time when they acted as the killers who later was dubbed as the Ben 10 killers. I have also guided the programming of this world which created a great conspiracy and forced Mehkaelos to act. And Lowengren and Harker have prepared circumstances that will pit you in danger. So find allies and build them up. The companions that you went with to this city have already been marked as your companions. Misunderstandings and situations will force them to become criminals."

"Also, since we are Inhumans here and can't summon our exoskeleton armors yet, we've been experimenting with creating a replicate of that. It's weaker, but it will at least push our abilities by a fold."

Lowengren gave Seeker another band.

"Absorb it."

Seeker took the band and attached it to his current band.

The band began to assimilate and Seeker opened the techs that appeared in his display.

The schematics of the Exoskeleton armor appeared and Seeker had a strange expression as he read on the instructions.

"I have to activate it via voice command, 'Go, Go, Gold! Super Gold Transformation'. And then the exoskeleton will wear itself and create an explosive thrust and the back burner and booster that will create a mini explosion behind me?" Seeker read with an indignant expression.

"Isn't it... beautiful? I made it. It's cool."

"You made me a Super Sentai character! Might as well go with the name, Mighty Morphin if this is the case!" Seeker complained.

"What next?! I can summon a metal dinosaur?"

"Well, not dinosaurs. But we do have a giant metal beast. But you'd need to get to at least Class 3 to do that. Right now, you can only wear the costume. You don't have access to any weapons yet. You can buy a blaster gun or various other weapons, or you can create your own weapon. We have managed to steal enough tech to create a metal vermilion phoenix, a white tiger, an azure dragon, and a black tortoise."

"Of course, we have giant zoids." Seeker gave up.

"Harker called dibs on the Azure Dragon. I will take the Black Tortoise. You pick one, and one of your allies will also be a ranger. Since Lennox plans to use up the remaining energy and disperse in this world, he can't in on the fun."

"You plan to use up your lightning here?"

"Yes. I can inject myself into the programming, but I would have to permanently become one with the force. This will help us in the battle against Marrho. I aim to be able to delay or hinder the real Marrho even for just a second."

"Hmm... It's kind of hard to think that you'd die on us. Even though you are just a thought process of Lennox."

"It was nice to be granted this form of life. But I will serve my purpose. I have to go now. Seeker's arrival still left a lot of holes that I need to fix. Goodbye, everyone."

Unceremoniously, Lennox vanished as he dispersed like lightning.

Harker and Lowengren were clearly holding back their emotions.

"...I guess I'll be the vermilion phoenix." Seeker changed the topic.

"Great! You should meet with those friends of yours now. The people who want to kill them should appear soon. Just go with whatever I throw at you, Zeek."

"Alright. I'll look forward to your crazy plans. See you on the battlefield fellas." Seeker turned and left.
