Chapter 14

"what?! Shes to become another wife?! I thought miku was the last!" rena said, surprised

They were now in the meeting room, leo, the girls, and yuki. All sitting down for a private meeting of sorts.

"even im surprised by this, trust me rena!" leo said

"it looks like you already have more than what you need here, sir leo. But dont worry, i will just be your wife in name only." yuko said, being a bit cold, as leo was now a bit awkward

"in the first place, why are you desperate to be his wife?" rena said

"because its the royal decree--" yuki said, but was cut off

"i get that and all, but just why?" rena said, stressing out her point

"i think what she means is, why are you so personally interested in leo? Or why leo?" nikki said, as rena agrees

"its to produce a strong heir, for the royal bloodline. But personally, i also didnt think that he was like this." yuki said, referring to him and the girls

"believe me when i say thie yuki, but all of us are friends, as we are rivals in love. But seeing as leo is a person who cant be measured, in terms of common standards, we thought it would be best to share." lica said, calmly explaining

"if it was me, i would have made him mine and mine alone." yuki said, being a spoiled brat

"but you havent understood his full capacity yet miss yuki, hes even more than capable of making us all happy." sheryl said, as the girls all agree

"in any case, as we currently have a problem at our hands, we would really need her help." lica said, as leo and the girls agree

"what problem?" yuki said, curiously nervous, as to what the problem is

"as it stands, all of us, including leo, are the only members of the illuminati. All because the higher members got themselves dead, at the hands of the krood." leo said

"and we are pregnant, with his child." miku said

"what?! So why not make others become a part of the higher ups?" yuki said

"thats the normal way, but the illuminati is special." leo said

"and its a secret organization, dedicated to supporting in the shadows, until the time its needed. As what my mom told me." miku said

"i see.. So you now want someone to help in managing everything, in the possible absence of those 5? Is that right?" yuki said, a bit annoyed

"yes." lica said, as they also agree

"you are the only one we can count on in this crisis." leo said, pleadingly

"but what if i--" yuki said, but was interrupted

"sir leo, we need you in the control room, now." loid said, as he opened the door

"yes, i will go there now." leo said, before loid walks away

"it seems rather urgent. You should go now leo, we will handle this." lica said, as the girls agree, and yuki reluctantly agrees

"ok. See you all in a minute! maybe.." leo said, before he now walks out of the room

"you see now? Hes really busy at the moment, so we all dont have the time yet to be selfish with him." rena said, as a matter of a fact

"yes, i can see. Since hes also the new head of the illuminati, the new leader of neo japan, and the leader of the rebel forces in this country. So he has quite a lot on his plate right now." yuki said

"and you forgot just 1 more thing.." nikki said

"and what is that?" yuki said, curious

"hes also the leader of the earth defense forces, starting as of yesterday." nikki said, with confidence

"hes that busy huh.." yuki said, as the girls also agrees

Meanwhile, at the observation area in the control room..

"sir leo, good thing you came!" ken said

Both general ken and cedric was now in a meeting, with the other leaders of the world.

"whats the status now?" leo said, as he got to the hollogram table

"as it stands, we might not have any chance against the krood!" cedric said

"and we might lose about half of the earths population, again." ken said

"whats the progress of project advanced?" leo said

"you think that that project is oir best future?" cedric said

"no, our best chance in both survival and in winning this war." leo said

"alright then, we will believe you." cedric said

"the project is now en route towards this stronghold, as we speak." ken said

"and how is it transported?" leo said

"the parts for the machine is currently transported all at the same time, as it was also disassembled from the research facility." cedric said

"good, its all as planned. And is there a sample vile that we can test now?" leo said

"Yes. We currently have about 1 bottle, stored in the storage area. But we currently have no test subject to test it on for now." ken said

"damn it! We really have no time to lose in this battle." leo said, cursing

"what about project apple? That could work." cedric said, with a flash of inspiration

"no, absolutely not. They are still small children." ken said, with cedric being disappointed

"Whats project apple?" leo said

"oh yeah, the project wasnt available at your time, so you might jot have enough knowledge on it. Please explain it to him mr cedric." ken said, as cedric agrees

"the project itself is really simple. we just have to genetically engineer both egg and sperm, or maybe even when they merge or not. So that we just have to raise one ourselves."

"so they now applied my idea huh, after all this--" leo said, before he was cut off, with the sound of the emergency button

"what is it?" ken said, after pressing the call button

"emergency! The base is currently under attack!" the comms said

"tch!" ken said, before he presses the red alert button. "everyone! To battle stations!"

"i will also--" leo said, but was stopped by ken

"no, this time, you stay." ken said, gripping his hand

"but they might need me!" leo said

"we all need you leo, but this time, you must stay here! To command the troops!" ken said, seriously

"is there a special force that will use the suits?" leo said

"yes, they are going now as we speak. Thanks to you testing its capabilities." cedric said

"i hope they will be enough, for us to at least survive." leo said, as he has a bad feeling about it all

With that, all troops inside has now sortied, to defend the stronghold from the krood. Then after some minutes of battle..

"whats the status of the battle now leo?" yuki said, as she opened the door to the observation area

"damn it! We are losing more troops than we could have, just to defend this place!" leo said, as he slammed slightly the side of the hollogram table

"what?! Is there anything else that we can really do?" yuki said, as they all were now thinking that its all in vain

"wait, there maybe is one option that we havent tried!" leo said, before he walks to the door

"wait leo! Where are you going?!" ken said

"if no one is willing, then i will." leo said, as he closed the door

"that damn fool!" ken said, before he goes after him

"whats really going on here? What does he mean?" yuki said to general cedric, as he was also doing face palm

"what leo is currently doing is taking project advanced into his system." cedric said, sadly

"thats a good thing right?" yuki said

"its currently estimated that he will have a 50% chance of either having great power, or great suffering." cedric said, as this now worries yuki

Then to leo, who was now rushing towards the storage area..

"are you serious about this leo?! You might either suffer or die at this rate!" ken said, trying to convince him otherwise

"yes, im serious about it! As it stands, we cant really win, nor survive against them!" leo said

"but there must be another way!" ken said

"none. In the past, i have already contributed all my ideas, along with all the great minds at the time. And now, this happens!" leo said, as they just arrived at the storage area

"and this is the only option left?" ken said, as hes just watching as leo opens the door

"yes." leo said, before he goes inside

"may god help us all." ken said, before he too went inside

Inside the storage area, there were many prototypes being stored, whether it may be in the testing phase or failed. Then at the deeper part of the storage area, there lies the container for the vile.

"wait leo!" ken said, stopping him before he opens the container

"what is it?" leo said

"do you have any last words, for your wives?" ken said, seriously

"then tell them i love them, and this is all to protect them and the place they all belong and will belong." leo said, before he injects himself

"so, how do you feel?" ken said

"nothing yet it seems.. Maybe this is--" leo said, before having a nosebleed and fainted
