RE:BORN Zombie

158 Unexpected Visit III

Two days later after Avin arrived, Veritas decided they would be going to the VIM CORP to inform them about the entire situation.

They prepared their crafts and set off.

While on their way, Veritas went through a few things to make sure she had all the details correct, and just as she suspected, she did, there was no mistake.

They had gone to the HQ of VIM CORP, and even without permission or a heads up that they would be coming, so naturally there was a bit of commission at the landing area. In time, seeing that it was the Under Current, they were treated differently and soon their identities were verified and Veritas immediately asked to see their head.

"Uhmm, w-which of them-"

"Anyone. Get me someone in a nice position." She said.

Luckily for someone else, they were close to the scene, though they had no idea what was going on, they were the first to be informed. "Mr. Bernard, someone from Under Current is here, and they are requesting a meeting with a superior." The lady said after a light bow before Bernard.

'Under Current? What are they doing here?' "Alright, lead the way." Without much questioning and time wasting, Bernard followed the female guard as she led the way.

From his own knowledge of what Under Current had been up to recently, he didn't like the outcome of what he was walking into, but so was the way fate operated.

Veritas and her crew were no longer in the ducking area. After their identities were confirmed, they were moved to a sort of waiting area where they waited to be received.

"Hello, my name is Bernard, I am-" Said Bernard, as he walked towards the group he was told was from Under Current, but then he stopped dead in his tracks. 'Ahh!!! It's this demon! What is this demon doing here!'

"Great to meet you Bernard, let's go. Lead the way." Veritas said, as she and some of her crew members stepped forward towards Bernard.

Seeing the way the stranger behaved, those at VIM CORP were a bit annoyed as she had no respect, but unlike the others, Bernard knew better and simply obeyed instructions and matched ahead while leading them to a place where they could talk in private.

Though he was getting older by the day, the scene of when he first encountered Veritas was still fresh in his mind, and he would do anything to not reenact it. Though, it would seem like she did not remember him at all.

"Please, this way. Come inside." He said, as he made his way into a room that had seating arrangement like a meeting area.

"I'll get straight to the point." Said, Veritas, while she dragged forwards Avin who was amidst those following her.

"That's for the better." Said Bernard.

"This one here is called Avin, he is from Atlantis.." Said Veritas.

Hearing that Avin was from Atlantis quickly cleared Bernard from whatever daze he was in as his interest was piqued immediately. His eyes went all over Avin as he examined the body of the blue looking human. He certainly had a different look to him as Bernard saw. Since some humans experience physiological changes due to their powers, no one who was yet to see the Atlantians would think much of it.

Veritas went on to explain to Bernard everything she had heard from Avin.

"So, in a nutshell, the reason for all this is to get us under their control so they can defend themselves properly against the aliens that will invade earth, and he's here to inform us so that we find a way to change the king's mind for us to join forces?" Said Bernard, as he rubbed his china and looked to the floor.

"Correct."

The information was definitely nothing he would have expected to hear, but it made sense.

"I will have to inform the rest and if possible, get the different leaders and representatives of other factions to hold a meeting as soon as possible." Said Bernard.

"That will take too long, just get your boss or whatever you call him to come here."

"You mean the head of VIM CORP? But-"

"Tell him the Queen of Vampires Orders." Hearing her say that with such lax in her voice, it didn't matter, it made Bernard swallow a heavy ball of saliva.

One thing he was curious about was why the Atlantian went to Under Current of all other places, even as it was probably the most difficult place to find. They knew that some fish person that attacked their people went in that direction, so he had his doubts about the entire story and all. 'But they have nothing to gain if they do that… Or do they?'

Veritas knew he implication of the question, but still couldn't answer it herself because it was annoying, so she pushed forward Avin to explain himself. This also gave Bernard the opportunity to ask him other things.

'These humans are fearful.' Avin immediately jerked after saying that as he looked to see if Veritas heard him, but then, it was his thoughts.

..45 minutes later..

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, even for Veritas, the head of VIM CORP finally arrived. Normally, he would be at the HQ doing several tasks, but it seemed like this time he was away.

"Sorry for the wait, I was away for an important meeting." The man said as he walked into the room in a hurry.

"Took you long enough old man." Said Veritas.

No matter what, being a scientist who even specializes in extraterrestrial exploration, hearing that aliens were going to attack earth in the near future was too exciting to him, and under such circumstances, someone like that would tend to lose all leadership qualities.

"You said aliens would be visiting earth? Give me more details… Where is the fish boy?? Where is he." Asked the old man, mirroring a lunatic.

*whispers*

"Who's that?"

"I don't know. Looks like some lunatic."

"Yeah, looks like a crazy janitor playing scientist."

.

'At least, act like you head this entire organization.. ah.' Thought Bernard, as any respect they had was now drained deep through the gutter.
