Arthur was among the top brass of the Pioneers in Shakstress's ship. The resulting chaos due to the devastating attacks and the sudden loss of lights and energy allowed Arthur to appear in a certain ship miraculously. Madison had already prepared a path, and even though he had no means of communicating to Arthur, Arthur instinctively knew how to get there.

Arthur had replaced one of the Pioneers at the table and Chase Brender at another.

Madison was also in the room and was amazed at how Arthur got there.

"This man is really a genius. Did he predict everything that I did?" Madison continued to work.

With Arthur by his side, the three began to talk in a secret frequency.

"Good job, Madison. Right now, we will be pretending to have a secret assignment and mission from Shakstress. With three of us acting together, and how Chase can block the sounds here and recreate the sounds they hear in this chamber." Arthur instructed.

"We have to show competence in our orders, and I will lead the group to fight both Pridgeon and the ship of Andronze." Arthur began.

"Understood!"

Suddenly, an angry and distorted voice was heard in the room.

"Protocol Reavers." Shakstress's voice was heard.

"Protocol Reaver confirmed!" Arthur, Madison, and Chase spoke together.

The Pioneers were startled at the announcement.

"Awaken!" Shakstress's voice was heard once more.

The three suddenly stood up, and a strange heat was coming out of them.

"Kill the fleet of Pridgeon and Andronze!"

"As you order!" The three chorused once more.

"I am Reaver Pioneer Port." Chase spoke first.

"I am Reaver Pioneer Arbaton." Arthur followed.

"I am Reaver Pioneer Kreel." Madison spoke last.

The three announced, and a powerful visible shield suddenly appeared around them.

"Pioneer Commander. This is the protocol that Presider Shakstress set in case of high infiltration. At this point, all of you are suspected traitors, and we will be taking control. Failure to comply will mean your death. So give us the controls to the main battle system." Chase demanded.

Arthur began to direct certain orders at the Sun Devourers and the Supreme Exoskeletons.

With great speed, Arthur began to command the suit one after the other.

And while doing that, Arthur was accessing the cannons that he had been able to control. But his attacks were now hitting!

Chase and Madison also displayed quick reflexes and were shooting outside of the estimates and auto-fires of the ship.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Pridgeon's ship and the fleet were starting to take a hit, and the Supreme Exoskeletons were now able to push forward with great speed and break away from the strange alterations in the dimensions.

Arthur was able to predict where the next attacks were and began to lead the forces.

It was very clear that the sudden change of the tide in the battleground meant that these three were competent.

The nearby Pioneer's marveled at the commands, and the Commander had no other choice but to allow the three more control.

With Pridgeon battling Shakstress and how the appearance of the Tyrant Empress created a temporary stoppage of operation within the Command centers, the forces of Shakstress tore through the front lines and were now attacking the main ship of Shakstress within three minutes since the battle.

"Keep on pressing the attack. Port. Kreel. Let's focus on that stupid Pyramid. Presider says that the enemy who controlled the wind is hiding in there. Engineering room. What is the status? Is the Apollyon suit ready?" Arthur asked.

The Pioneers and Planteds in the room heard the announcement.

"Reaver Pioneer! We are eighty percent complete! We are prepared to deploy the Apollyon suit in five minutes!" The Engineering Commander confirmed.

"Good. All deployed soldiers with even numbers prepare to attack the forces of Presider Andronze. All odds, focus on Presider Pridgeon. Presider Shakstress has absorbed and drawn all our enemies through that black hole that occurred. But she did so and quickly absorbed and killed people that she suspected to be traitors. I want all Planteds inside the ship ending in 03 to quickly make a tally of people that are missing as well as any Planteds that we cannot identify." Arthur began to give a series of orders.

"Comm room! Cut that stupid audio feed the techs that Presider provided to us may have stopped making that voice annoying, but we don't know what other techs are being used to make us lose focus!" Arthur declared.

"It's done!" Another broadcast occurred as Richie answered, and the broadcast of Vender stopped.

"Good! That audio feed has some strange techs of hypnosis and has very deep levels of psychological warfare. Everyone, I want your best in the next tasks that we have! Presider took what she could, but we still have to clear all the surviving enemies that have boarded our ships! They have stolen the identity of our allies! And so, we need to clear it all out! Presider has already informed all Reavers. We will be leading the weeding out of these enemies!"

When Arthur announced this, many of the Pioneers and Planteds began to cheer. There were just too many strange things going on on the ship.

The other compartments which held commanders had heard and seen the new command under the Reaver. Many were on the brink of being killed and attacked by wolves and contacted Arthur.

"Calling all Raiders! You have permission! Eliminate anyone deemed as an enemy!"

"Confirmed!" Suddenly, the voices of a multitude of people could be heard all over the place.

Riche and Sammy used their powers to create a massive echo all over the ship.

Suddenly, a list of people that were enemies was displayed. The list was a set of people that Madison had determined. The key was to put the blame on the right people. When he, Oark, or Cheryl infiltrated the rooms and saw these things, the three were constantly setting traps to prove the betrayal of certain people by either leaving a secret comm device, a weapon or by doing something in the computer.

Each time they did, they would share their vision with another.

The list of people appeared. Madison wrote it and sent it outside.

The people whose names were listed in the broadcast all shouted and screamed as their allies pointed the guns and weapons at them. Many were pleading that they were innocent.

As the broadcast happened, Madison had been secretly sending out the sounds in a different frequency to inform Richie and the rest of what to do.

Soon, the self-proclaimed raiders breached the areas where access was forbidden and quickly killed the people listed. Evidence of their betrayal was then revealed.

And each time the team would show the proof, those nearby were amazed.

"Spies and traitors who have infiltrated this ship! Do not underestimate Presider Shakstress! We will wipe you out! Your techs of replacing our soldiers are easily revealed!" Arthur gave a passionate call to everyone.

The battle was turning to their advantage, and the threats inside of the ship were decreasing. Arthur even gave very specific orders on how to repair the ships and the holes.

"Reavers! An enemy! It's those five again!" One of the Commanders alerted.

Five figures were seen standing in front of the Pyramid.

"Oh? So Shakstress still has decent men. To think that most of the spies we sent in are killed." Hermes laughed and shouted. The wind carried the voice, and it echoed all over the ship as the strong wind blew.

"Close all openings! The enemy controls the winds!" Chase shouted.

"Raiders! Buyt us time!" Madison shouted.

The appearance of the mighty wind terrified the people. They could feel how the wind was blowing and trying to create a storm inside the ship. But after a few seconds, the many opened chambers where the wind had found its way in were being closed.

Those who were trying to repair the large holes where the enemies had entered originally were being closed. But a sudden force field appeared and allowed them to close the gaps quickly.

The techs that were used were so ingenious and advanced that Arthur was doing his best to stop himself from trying to understand how the techs worked.

"These Techs make the WGP look primitive." Chase sighed in amazement.

"Madison, how much information about those techs have you acquired?"

"All of them!" Madison smiled.

"Good!"

As the final holes were patched up and the metals of the ship and the broken areas were repaired, the wind stopped.

"I do not know who you are, but you are too green to challenge Presider Shakstress! I'll fight on her behalf!" Arthur answered as he broadcasted all over the heavens. The two were communicating directly to each other through a Comm device that Hermes held.

"I never knew that Shakstress have already created Reavers. You pseudo-Presider level must have missed the memo. You are just pseudo-Presiders. You're not the real thing!" Hermes laughed.

The talk between the two was startling.

Andronze was linked to Hermes and heard the declaration of Hermes. However, he never knew of the existence of Pseudo-Presiders!

Inside the ship of Shakstress, the Aragarians had hope. Finally, the many mysterious traits of the Reavers and the Raiders were finally revealed. They still had the power to challenge Presiders! Morale grew. The people had seen how Arthur and the rest of the Reavers quickly removed the cancerous plague of infiltrators. And not only that, their commanding ability managed to turn the tide! Even the losing battle against Pridgeon had quickly changed, and now, they were the ones bombarding the Pioneers of Pridgeon into retreating.

"Then let's fight!" Hermes laughed as he and the Four Winds began to gather the wind and created a huge Tornado.

"Andronze. Assist me. With several Psuedo-Presiders, things are likely to get messy!" Hermes spoke.

Andronze agreed and began to prepare the Pyramid to attack alongside Hermes.

Inside Shakstress ship, the Engineers began their announcement.

"The Apollyon is ready!"

"Deploy it!" Arthur ordered.

"Wind Presider! You sent a Brute in this ship!n Now, we'll send you one back!" Arthur shouted as the suit that carried Octarion was released in the skies.
