"Lack and Chibi have a connenction that allows them to speak to each other through their power." Tadakono replied to their looks. " Within Lack's centre of power, they can communicate like we are now. Only Chibi can pull them into that though. Lack, on the other hand, can use Chibi's power as physical strength. That's why he's lately been carrying Chibi as a cat on his shoulder rather than have her support him as a Creator."
"So basically," Syaoran summarised perching himself back onto the bed next to Lack's. "Chibi has pulled Lack into his centre of power to talk to him."
"That's what I assume," Tadakono said with a nod. "But it's not like Chibi to pull him in half way through a conversation."

Lack tapped his fingers against the small glass mosaic table. Chibi sat near him glancing across the table, then to Eir, and back across the table. Opposite Lack and Chibi sat the three mediators, Kashy and Novus.
"Why is this all happening in my head?" Lack asked in a low voice to Chibi. She could tell he was irritated. "More to the point. Since when was there a garden in my head?"
"We aren't in your head anymore," Chibi replied quietly. "We passed into the part of Yggdrasil that connects the dreams of everyone in Rune-Midgard and beyond." She looked pointedly at Eir before adding. "It is the safest place next to being in your head where we can gather to talk without being spied on."
Eir cleared her throat. "I've been asked to facilitate this meeting between Kashy and Lack over the topic of Contra beneath Fight Club Headquarters."
Lack glanced at Kashy, his eyes boring imaginary holes into him. "Couldn't you of picked a better time to hold this meeting? I was holding a meeting of my own before we were rudely removed."
"You're just complaining for the sake of complaining," Shadow standing suddenly, snapped at him. BlackRose and Balos pulled her back into her chair roughly.
"Patience Shadow," BlackRose said softly as Shadow smacked their hands away. "Lack is Lack after all." Lack frowned at this comment.
"True," Balos added pointing his finger at Lack and Chibi. "That besides, they are always at some meeting so it's unavoidable. It's what humans do."
Lack felt Chibi elbow him. Looking down at her, he noticed she was drawing a few bombs and acids from her pouch. She placed them on the table with a very deliberate thump. Novus narrowed his eyes at her in response.
Eir sighed and slammed her hands on the table. "Enough!" Her voice pierced through all present like a bullet. "I didn't bring you here to attack each other. The longer you argue the less time you have to work out what to do."
"It's simple," Kashy said quietly. "There's no way we can bind Contra. So all we can do is kill him." Chibi stiffened at his words. Kashy gave her a faint smile and continued. "I don't propose Fight Club be the only ones to kill him. What I plan is to get the guilds who have been involved in this mess until now aid us," he indicated to all the Hidden Gods. "In killing Contra. I can't promise that no one will die, however, I'm hoping that with the sheer number of people, we can overwhelm Contra."
Chibi slammed her fists against the table and stood. "I refuse to believe that killing Contra is the only solution." Eir gently brushed Chibi's cheek. Chibi's eyes darkened and fell back into her seat, Lack catching her head before it hit the table.
"What did you do?" Lack asked arranging Chibi to look like she was sleeping. Eir blinked but didn't reply. Lack nodded, understanding her silence response and leaned back in his chair. Looking up at Kashy, he added. "While I agree with Chibi that it can't be the only solution, killing him is the most foolproof."
Eir coughed lightly. "Chibi is merely acting that way because of what she's seen," She spoke to no-one in particular. Sighing, she added "I don't blame her for snapping."
Lack sighed and closed his eyes. "You sure you want to kill Contra? From what Chibi has told me, it's going to be a very bloody battle." Resting his fingers against each other, he frowned. "Will you even have enough power?"
"That's why I'm going to buy time by granting Fight Club the materials it needs to keep Contra in that prison until everyone is," Kashy glanced at Chibi then sighed. "Almost everyone is at 100%."
"Don't worry about Chibi," Eir replied before Lack could speak. "I'll make sure she's at 100% when the time comes." She stroked Chibi's hair gently.
Lack rested his head against the palm of his hand looking satisfied. The last thing he wanted was to have his guildsmen crushed unprepared. "Then Fight Club will cooperate with the Hidden Gods." Standing, he offered his hand to Kashy.
Kashy took his hand and shook it strongly. "And hopefully this will be the end of all the troubles within Rune-Midgard."
