Chapter: Shadows in the Garden, Plans in Motion

---

Lily stood in the tranquil garden, her gaze fixed on the space where Ninja and Logan had vanished moments earlier.

The soft rustle of leaves in the breeze and the delicate fragrance of cherry blossoms surrounded her, but her mind was far from serene.

Behind her, the remaining loyalists knelt in silent reverence, waiting for her command.

She turned to them, her piercing gaze sweeping over their figures. Her voice, firm yet tinged with a commanding warmth, broke the silence.

"I believe it’s time for all of you to take your positions around the mansion," she said, her tone leaving no room for hesitation.

"I won’t allow even the slightest chance of a rogue power-holder threatening me. Your duty is to ensure that no harm comes near me or this sanctuary."

The kneeling figures nodded in perfect unison. One by one, they rose, their movements precise and disciplined, before melting into the shadows of the garden.

Their forms vanished seamlessly into the surrounding environment, leaving no trace behind.

The garden, once filled with their presence, now stood empty, a silent fortress under their watchful eyes.

Left alone, Lily returned to her room, her steps measured and deliberate.

The serenity of the space, with its traditional decor and the warm glow of sunlight spilling through the open window, contrasted with the storm of thoughts brewing in her mind.

She knelt gracefully beside the low tea table, her fingers tracing its polished surface absentmindedly.

Finally, she lay down on the tatami mat, her gaze fixed on the ceiling. A sly smile played on her lips as she muttered softly, her words filled with a mix of curiosity and ambition.

"This is going to be so exciting," she murmured, her voice carrying a note of anticipation.

"I can’t wait for the day I meet the real founder of The Union. I want to see who they are... and just how powerful they truly are."

Her eyes gleamed with determination, the faint glow of sunlight accentuating the sharpness in her expression.

Lily was not one to be underestimated, and her mind was already working on the next steps of her grand design.

Scene Shift – The Presidential Building

The scene transitions to the imposing façade of the Presidential Building, its towering structure casting long shadows across the bustling city below.

This was the very site of the recent battle between Ninja and Logan, a confrontation that had left an indelible mark on those who witnessed it.

In the garden outside the building, two figures now stood—clones of Logan and Ninja.

Created through Lily’s unique abilities, these doppelgängers exuded the same air of menace and authority as their originals.

Above them, Sona and Taiyo hovered gracefully, their small forms glowing softly in the midday sun. Their presence, combined with the clones, created an aura of undeniable power.

Passersby paused to stare, their whispers filling the air with speculation.

Some wondered if these were the real Logan and Ninja, while others simply watched in awe, sensing the weight of their purpose.

The clones moved purposefully toward the Presidential Building’s entrance, their every step radiating confidence.

The guards stationed at the doors exchanged uncertain glances, their hands instinctively tightening on their weapons. But before they could act, their radios crackled with a clear instruction:

"Let them through."

The guards hesitated for a brief moment before stepping aside, their training compelling them to obey. The group entered the building without a word, their silent march adding to the unease in the air.

Inside the Presidential Building

Once inside, the grand hallway stretched before them, its polished floors reflecting the faint glow emanating from Sona and Tayo. Logan turned slightly to address his companions, his tone calm but firm.

"Let me handle the talking," he said, his voice leaving no room for argument.

Ninja, Sona, and Tayo exchanged brief glances before nodding in agreement. They fell into step behind Logan as he led the way.

Their group didn’t have to wait long before being approached by a high-ranking minister and a general.

The general, a seasoned man with sharp eyes and a graying beard, recognized Logan immediately.

"We didn’t expect you to bring The Union to the table so quickly," the general remarked, his voice carrying a mix of surprise and curiosity. "The President’s announcement was only this morning, and yet, here you are."

Logan offered a polite smile, his demeanor calm but deliberate. "We’ve been preparing for this for a long time," he replied. "Can we meet the President now? We won’t take up much of his time."

The general’s sharp gaze lingered on Logan for a moment. He had known Logan to be straightforward, but his behavior now seemed unusually direct. A faint unease stirred within the general, though he chose to set his doubts aside for the moment.

"The President has already been informed of your arrival," the general said after a pause. "He’s waiting for you in the conference room."

The minister and general led the way, flanked by a small group of armed guards. Logan, Ninja, Sona, and Tayo followed closely, their every step measured and deliberate.

As they moved through the building, whispers trailed in their wake. Staff members and security personnel watched from the sidelines, their curiosity and unease palpable.

The presence of such formidable figures within the Presidential Building sparked speculation about the significance of their visit.

As the group approached the grand doors of the conference room, the atmosphere grew heavier with anticipation.

Beyond those doors awaited a pivotal moment, one that could alter the balance of power in the nation.

With a quiet nod from the general, the guards stationed at the doors stepped aside, pushing them open to reveal the room beyond.

Logan stepped forward, his expression calm yet unreadable, as the others followed in his wake.

The Chapter concludes with the group standing at the threshold of the conference room, the air thick with tension and purpose.

What awaits them inside remains a mystery, but one thing is certain—Lily’s plan is unfolding, and the stage is set for the next act in this unfolding drama.
