[Anas' POV]

We all felt a little uncomfortable in our seats as we waited for Team Oceania and the Seven to arrive.

A week had passed since we had agreed on meeting, and now was finally time.

On our side, we had brought Soldier Boy, Butcher, Hughie, Maaiz, Saabira, and myself. We kept Maeve out because they didn't know she was with us, and Mother's Milk, Frenchie, Kimiko and Starlight were all staying back. We had managed to rally them back to us, for a stronger group.

The wait felt like hours, but we actually only waited for a few minutes before hearing a car. Then, the door to the house was quickly pushed open by none other than Homelander himself, whose first words were, "I forgot how uncomfortable cars were. That's why I never travel with lesser people."

Following closely behind him was Stormfront, whose face scrunched as soon as she spotted us, "Fucking bombers."

We remained impassive to her insults, we were already prepared.

Homelander and Stormfront both sat at the table in the middle of the room, right across Soldier Boy and Butcher.

Hughie, Maaiz, Saabira and myself stood behind the two, while four other people stood behind Homelander and Stormfront.

I recognized them all as members of Team Oceania. They only had four veterans as far as we knew, and they were all here, although only their leader mattered.

Several seconds passed in silence as everyone sized each other up, before Homelander said, "So, William. You almost got yourself killed by someone else? How disappointing."

Butcher smiled nastily, "I did. Not long after we almost killed you. Were you too scared to come here on your own?"

Homelander scoffed, before turning to Soldier Boy. The two looked at each other, and Homelander dropped a bomb, "Did you know I was your son?"

We all looked at him in shock, as he wasn't supposed to know that.

Soldier Boy took a puff out of his cigar as he replied coolly, "Just learned that myself."

He turned to look at Stormfront, and snorted, "Liberty. I never would have thought you were a Nazi bitch."

Stormfront didn't look insulted as she replied, "And I never thought of you as a real soldier. Looks like only one of us was right."

This pissed off Soldier Boy as he slammed his fist into the table, breaking it with a single blow as he got up from his seat. Neither Homelander nor Stormfront moved however, as they simply looked at him with mocking eyes.

Soldier Boy grabbed his shield tighter, ready to fight, so I quickly asked, "We-"

I barely managed to say a word though that Stormfront cut me off, "Shut up bomber. We're here to ally against the common enemy, and personally, you are the only enemy I see."

Butcher and Hughie both slightly clenched their teeth. Only a little but more pressure, and they would crush the vials of Temporary V in their mouths.

Homelander calmed everyone down though by extending his hand towards Team Oceania. Their Team Leader passed a tablet to Homelander, who asked, "Julius?"

A voice sounded out from the tablet, "Here you go."

Homelander placed down the tablet on the table, and it showed a large mansion in front of a beach.

The image zoomed in, and revealed a group of people standing on the beach. At their front was a familiar figure, Oni. And he was looking right at the camera. After a moment, he extended out his hand, and the feed abruptly cut.

The image changed to one of a man who said, "This is Stan Edgar's mansion in the Bahamas, and the feed was from four hours ago."

Stormfront immediately cursed, "I knew that little negro would still be a problem."

Butcher mused, "So they are his men? A hidden group he developed in case he got supplanted? Looks like they really are everyone's problem."

Homelander nodded, "Aya."

The Team Leader of Team Oceania nodded and walked up to what remained of the table, before saying while looking at me, "Their main firepower is this man codenamed Oni. He has shown extremely powerful Telekinesis, as well as enhanced physical strength. Anyone who doesn't have any kind of enhanced strength should avoid him at all costs, as he is capable of crushing them with only his mind."

I decided to add at that, "Close quarter combat is also dangerous, as while he is a little weaker than Homelander or Soldier Boy, his sword can definitely cut you. He has also shown exceptional skill with said sword."

This wasn't exactly true, as he didn't really use his sword himself, but it was better for them to overestimate him than the other way around.

The voice coming from the tablet also spoke up, "They also have been moving around in the past week, and looked like they had been preparing something. I can't say what though."

Butcher commented, "Then we should do this swiftly. We get there, jump the cunt, and finish him off with a single attack."

Homelander shrugged, "Sounds good to me."

Soldier Boy warned however, "They also have Mindstorm with them. One look into your eyes, and he will be able to trap you into your own mind until you die of dehydration."

Homelander rolled his eyes as he got up and faced Soldier Boy, "My laser is faster. Now stop with the excuses. We either do this with you or without you. If you are afraid, you just have to say it."

Soldier Boy snorted, tapping his shield against Homelander's chest, "Fine, if you are so eager for some father-son time. But the kill is mine."

Homelander chortled in response, "Like I care."

He turned to look at Stormfront, and said, "We're out of here," before flying through the roof, Stormfront following quickly after, leaving Team Oceania behind.

We all paused, feeling a little strange.

This had gone smoothly. A little too smoothly. There was something strange.

For a moment, I hesitated to just kill Team Oceania right there, since they were offered on a golden plate, but eventually decided to let them go. It wasn't worth it to potentially break the alliance just for a few Points. Besides, Aya certainly wouldn't go down without a fight.

[Sarah's POV]

I was tanning on the beach in front of Stan's mansion, a phone in hand.

"How are things going?"

On the other side, Alexander replied, "They have officially created their alliance. They will attack tomorrow at 11 am. How are things on your side?"

Turning to look inside the house, my gaze fell on the figure wearing the Akatsuki's robes and Shuten Doji's Mask as I replied, "We're getting there. Everything should be ready for tomorrow."

"What about Stan? Is he giving you any trouble?"

"No, he's mostly agreeing to anything we ask. Looks like he was convinced by your plan."

Alexander laughed at that, "I'm feeling like Palpatine."

I chuckled, "You better not come back all wrinkly, or no more sex."

"You wound me."

I smiled, "Did you forget about me not saying anything while you fucked a Nazi?"

Alexander scoffed, "That wasn't even my idea. I made myself look like Homelander to get him to like me straight away, but I didn't expect her to get all handsy with me as soon as she saw me. And I couldn't pass on the opportunity."

Narrowing my eyes, I asked, "So you did want to fuck her."

I could hear in his voice that Alexander rolled his eyes when he replied, "On getting a grasp on her mind. And you knew that's what I meant. And if it is of any relief, she sucks in bed. As soon as I put a little strength, she just spreads like a star and does nothing."

"You say that like you've fucked her multiple times."

Alexander replied shamelessly, "I've been fucking her several times a day for the past week. I told you that stealing her power and not killing her would take time. And being inside her allows me to manipulate things much more easily. Both physically and mentally."

I huffed, "Julius is a stupid name, and only shows your lack of imagination. Going from one conqueror's name to the other is lame."

Although I hang up as quick as I could, I still heard him laugh.
