Author's Note: Unedited Chapter.
"There is nothing we can do. Some of them witnessed the Death Angels trying to take Falco away and mentioning that they're here to end me.
Even if that isn't enough to put the destruction of the planet on me, with the power I displayed during IYSOP, a lot of them are scared of how I will turn out if I am allowed to continue growing without hindrance. People fear power that is beyond their control. Some of them would also want to acquire me and slice me open to see how I tick. This is the perfect opportunity for them to place a moral reason on wanting to capture me since they have to hide their innate desires.
Not like I didn't predict that this would happen one day. What I didn't expect was for it to be the entire universe... the same universe, I am burdened with the task of saving," Gustav let out a self ridiculing chuckle.
"The only reason they haven't come at me yet is because Miss Aimee is still around. Once she leaves, they'll push forward," Gustav added.
"Why don't you tell her so she can protect you?" Sheila inquired.
"No. Its better if she doesn't get involved this time," Gustav shook his head.
"I will be long gone by the time they label me as wanted so no worries," He added.
"We're coming with you..." E.E stepped forward.
"No. The only person leaving with me is Endric. As for the rest of you, I need you guys to remain here," Gustav refused.
"But..."
"No buts E.E. You guys are more useful to me here than having to become wanted alongside me... now I'll lay out my plans so you guys can properly understand..." Gustav stated.

'Now I gotta act as the betrayer to become the most trusted MBO officer and further my ranks... this is bullshit. Gustav shouldn't have to run,' E.E couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger as he thought.
Everything happened just as Gustav told them a day after. The same earth that Gustav had saved more than once turned against him completely the moment they heard he was responsible for the destruction of Planet Ozious.
"Those bastards couldn't even give him the benefit of the doubt... do they even deserved to be saved?" He wondered out loud as he paused his footsteps.
The group was aware of the premonitions now and the alliance was working to uncover the truths behind what was coming. Gustav couldn't even rely on Miss Aimee right now even if he wanted to because she was at the forefront of the investigation. She had left her planet to find more clues.
The alliance also pretty much believed that by capturing Gustav they would be able to get more information and maybe prevent it. For the last eight months they had not gotten very far with the investigations.
Amongst the instructions Gustav gave E.E to reveal to the MBO, one of them included the five premonitions and how what happened to Planet Ozious was supposed to be the second one.
At the moment, the world was well aware that a third premonition was coming and would appear at any part of the universe at an unknown time. The questions still remained... Premonitions to what? Who is the enemy?
All this time E.E had been divulging one information or the other about Gustav. Some false to mislead them and some accurate so his words held credibility. They got close to capturing him a few times due to this but never did.
It was preplanned and Gustav was the one who gave E.E the specific information to reveal which also made him aware of their coming. All in all it had really worked out and E.E got promoted a couple of times especially since he was successful in every mission he got issued since their return to Earth.
"I'll have to contact Gus..." E.E concluded before twirling his middle finger behind his index.
Frroouuhhhh~
A violet colored vortex opened up before him and he proceeded to step in.
E.E instantly arrived on the other side, finding himself atop a skyscraper with the view of a night sky and a glowing city before him.

Within an underwater lab research center, an elderly looking man with a diamond shard embedded into his forehead stood before what looked like a three wall metallic looking prison.
Beside him were a couple of men in Laboratory suits and medical looking equipments by the side.
The see through amored glass before them, provided them with the view of the creature held captive within this structure.
It was a pitch black ten feet tall being. It's hollow eyes were eerily grey in color and the massive twelve inches horns protruded out of its head made it look worse than the devil mentioned in folklore.
Despite having an humaoid build, It had claws for fingers and talons for feet. This creature had three shackles on each limb with massive glowing white chains attached to them which spread forth in all directions.
"Any new data?" Grand Commander Shion questioned.
"Yes yes Commander, this spectacular specimen you brought to me has opened my eyes to a lot of possibilities... I have sampled parts of its tissue and it is nothing like I have ever seen before. Unlike human, mixedblood or alien skin, its skin possesses minerals that exist not in a world like ours. I wish to extract more but it is also corrosive in nature, however it can..."
"Dr Markle focus," Grand Commander Shion cut off the thin and scrawny looking scientist before he could continue tooting further.
"Ah yes my apologies," Dr Markle pushed his glasses up with a wry smile.
"Did you find anything yet that can help determine where it came from?" Grand Commander Shion questioned.
"A new inkling of information we discovered a few days back..." Dr Markle said while tapping on the board before him.
Ting~
A projection appeared displaying the footage of a body microscopic state under the observeration of high research tech.
There would occasionally be a small vibration within the displayed cells. It was very subtle but nonetheless visible in this state.
"What am I looking at?" Grand Commander Shion inquired.
"For so long, amongst other things, we have been working to understand the reason for this phenomenon and now we do," Dr Markle paused for a bit while tapping on the computerised board before him.
Ting~
Another projection appeared beside the initial, displaying something similar but at the same time different.
"This is a regular person in our world... do you notice the difference?" Dr Markle questioned.
Grand Commander Shion squinted his eyes as he stared back and forth between the two projections. His eyes slighly widened as he noticed the one next to that of the creature in captive vibrated as well but more in a circular and barely noticeable way.
"Is there something wrong with that one?" Grand Commander Shion asked.
"No, that is precisely how everyone of us here is. We vibrate on the same frequency. That of the specimen is different. It vibrates on a different frequency that is not of our world and that is why our universe is rejecting its presence," Dr Markle explained.
"Hmm so now this confirms the speculations about those beings coming from an entirely different world... a different dimension," Grand Commander Shion eyebrows furrowed.
"This also shows us that the specimen is limited in strength and ability. It should have reduced to nothing already yet it is still very much alive and kicking," Dr Markle analysed.
'If they were limited, that means without limitations they could have been way more powerful than that...' Grand Commander Shion couldn't help but break out a little sweat.
"How does this help with what we need?" Grand Commander Shion inquired with a strong tone.
"Its dimensional frequency has been analysed and computed. Since the grand commander wants a way of accessing the dimension it came from, what you need do is to get the data to spatial builders. Based on the info in this cube, they can create a portal that would lead directly to the dimension the specimen originated from," Dr Markel explained while holding out a small black cube.
Grand Commander received the cube with a nod of appreciation, "Now we can take the fight to them instead of waiting around," He stated.
"One thing to remember though Grand Commander..." Dr Markle voiced with a tone of caution.
"Hmm?" Grand Commander Shion mumbled.
"If the roles were to be reversed, a mixedblood no matter how powerful, will find their body collapsing from the inside out. They wouldn't survive for up to a minute in a world that is outside our universe... This specimen is just too powerful and seems to be immune to death that is why it has remained for months without issues," Dr Markle warned.
"I see... how long do you estimate someone on my power level lasting?" Grand Commander Shion questioned.
"At most six minutes," Dr Markle instantly answered.
"Are you saying these creatures are more powerful than I am?" Grand Commander Shion asked.
