Lack picked her up and held her at arms length away from him to avoid getting clawed in the chest next. "That's why I'm not going to order the guild to fight. I'm going to tell them the full situation and let them decide what they want to do." Chibi stopped waving her paws around and stared at him. Against his better judgment, he brought her close to his face until their noses almost touched. "But I do feel that they will decide to fight him regardless off whether I order it or not."
"I thought I could hear Chibi's voice," Syaoran interrupted as he walked in with Phenomenon and Tadakono. "It's not possible for Lack to agree to anything if he's been asleep since our little meeting."
Chibi's eyes widened and all in the room felt fairly certain she was blushing as well despite the fact that all they could see was black fur. Lack set her down on his lap and looked up at them with the most annoyed expression they had ever seen. He glanced at Tadakono and sighed.
"Let the guild know there's a meeting in a few hours," he said softly. "In the sealed meeting hall in the old dungeon wing. What I am going to tell everyone is top secret. Anyone not there on time will be locked out." He looked up at the three, his eyes crystal clear. "I want absolutely everyone there if possible."

Chibi sat on the floor under her own chair that stood next to Lack's chair. As everyone walked in, she would dip a claw into the dish of ink and tick off their names. Her ears pricked up to the sound of footsteps ascending the stairs at the end of the stage.
Tadakono, Syaoran and Phenomenon helped Lack walk up the stairs and towards the chair. After Lack was seated, they arranged themselves on their own chairs in a half moon near his.
Lack leaned over and looked at Chibi's list. "Everyone here?" he whispered. She twitched her ears then nodded in reply. "You able to turn back to being human?"
"For a short time," she replied ticking off a few more names. "I'll turn back when you get to that part." Lack nodded and straightened once more to watch everyone take their places. He smiled as athan, L, Seryia and Etami slipped into the room as well. Chibi moved from under her chair and looked up at him. "Everyone's here now."
"Good," Lack focused his power into the old system. Doors and windows alike slammed shut sealing everyone into darkness. Mages-classes within the crowd summoned fireballs to light the room. Tadakono lit the stage with his own summoned flames. "It's time I tell you all what has been happening since the beginning of Fight Club itself. Everything has led up to this every point it time." Lack could tell that everyone's attentions were partially on Chibi's empty chair. "Chibi is in this room. When I get to that I will explain. But for now, attention to me please."
"Shortly after Fight Club was created, the Gods decided that the world needed to be mediated by those who were currently living in the world as it was. They called upon a man called Kashy to be the founder and ruler of the Hidden Gods. They imbued him with power to allow him to perform his duties without too much trouble. Kashy recruited Novus and Palidor to aid him and later on recruited Blackrose, Shadow and Balos.
We, along with other guild of the world, didn't understand who or what the Hidden Gods were and a war broke out. During this war, many of our guild fell. A few still remain to aid us to this day." He nodded his head towards L, Seryia and Etami. "It was during the war that Chibi and athan made a deal. Athan had found a secret that would strengthen someone physically in exchange for their life. Chibi gave athan the secret of creating gold from stone as an equal trade for the secret. Kashy found out and punished both. Athan became the guard to the entrance of yggdrasil in Niflheim. And Chibi…"
Chibi stood and moved into the firelight near Lack's side. Changing back to her normal self, she sat down carefully into her chair. "Chibi became a cat. After this, we discovered the true intentions of Kashy and the Hidden Gods. We've been working with them until now on various issues." Lack paused letting everyone digest the first guild secret before continuing. "When I broke the guild the last time and everyone went their separate ways, Chibi had married Mike. While she was in Velvet Touch of Enishi, she decided that it there was an ancient tool she needed in order to protect those close to her. She went on the quest to obtain Azoth and succeeded. Eir became her patron and gave her the ability to see a short distance into the future.
Chibi later altered Azoth to enable it to be also used by myself and Mike. In doing this, she tore her already broken Spiritual Power. Eir came to me and asked me if I would be her anchor to the human world. I agreed and we became siblings because of the link forged between us. Chibi became upset that Eir had asked me without asking her permission first and asked that the deal and knowledge of the link be sealed within me. Instead, Chibi and I developed a close relationship that siblings have without realising why. While we were in ice cave, Chibi reminded me and since I have been able to use the link between us.
I decided that it was time I recreated the guild. Fight Club returned and Chibi came back to her original position as my 2nd. Mike became unhappy with this and caused trouble not just for Chibi but also for myself. I dealt with it and everything went back to being normal again until the trouble with Contra started. Everyone knows about the battle in the foyer with him the first time, so no need to go into detail." Chibi tugged Lack's shirt. He paused and looked at her. Seeing how pale she was, he nodded and waited until she turned back into a cat before continuing. "After this, I learned that Contra had received Loki's medallion. Most of what has happened this past year with the doppelgangers, Hel and Contra everyone knows well.
However, this part I tell you now is what I need you all to think on. The Hidden Gods and I have determined that the only way to rid out world of Contra once and for all is to kill him. Kashy has granted Fight Club the resources to keep Contra sealed until our Guild as well as Velvet Touch of Enishi, 7 Deadly Sins, Brotherhood, Nothing, and Under the Shadows Guilds are at their best fighting capabilities before attempting to kill Contra. I won't deny that a lot of people will fall at Contra's hand, therefore, I won't force anyone who doesn't want to fight. All I ask is that you leave to one of the outer worlds before the battle with Contra starts. Our Guild HQ won't be a safe place to stay once the battle starts." Lack paused and shut his eyes. The windows and doors creaked as the opened slightly. "I won't stop you nor will I kick you out of the guild. This is one fight I won't insist on everyone fighting in."
