[i]This was definitely becoming boring fast. At this rate, even the Knowledge of Kami wouldn't be able to decide a winning faction due to how uneventful things are starting to be. So, there was an easy fix to this, a way to create a conflict or at least some action right away. All that was needed...was a note.[/i]

Appearing with no sign or trace, a single note would appear right next to the leaders of the Rebellion and Legion, and both notes would share the same content. Given the situations that both factions are within, it was no doubt that both leaders would have to come to terms and read the note to see what it was all about. It read:

[center][b]Consider this my only act of generosity to you all for this challenge, so you will have to decide carefully if you choose to take the chance or miss out. I suppose that all of you know the geography of this world well. There is a single island in the center of this world, where no faction has claimed the territory of it. I had left a supply of special material, a kind of material that would greatly act as a trump card in this challenge. These supplies are hidden within the depths of the Dead Forest. Whether or not you choose to go to the Dead Forest for those supplies, please remember that this is a war your faction must fight to win for, it would be dreadful if the other faction would take these supplies and use them against your faction. This is my only act of generosity, for I am only a spectator.[/center][/b]

[Kaika Cho - Rebellion - Mutatio]

This was all too alike to when she was given the most influential pact. For this time around, she would be in charge of her own troops under the "recon" group. As much as she had enough with responsibility type of things, she did think she would be capable of handling it. After all of those years with that much responsibility in the past, Kaika knew she could handle this kind of responsibility. Not having much to say, Kaika only gave a respective nod towards Momoka, it was just accepting the role as Recon Commander. Hopefully she wouldn't be too cocky to screw things up, there wasn't much enthusiasm in her anymore after dying "once."

[Tei Sukone - Legion - Imperium]

For a moment, she froze once Homura had asked that. [i]Lost someone dear to me?....[/i] she thought and repeated in her head, her memory storage showing Tei all of her stored memories on Len. The Vocaloid she loved so much and him only. It was quite sudden, since it was just thrown in by this girl once she had requested the girl for her assistance. She didn't want to tell too much about Len to this girl, Len was hers only, and she wasn't going to disclose too much about him to someone that had the ability to take him away from her.

"Yes, I do have someone that I lost, so I'm ready to win this challenge in order to win that person back," Tei said, never mentioning any single detail on Len at all.

[Xehanort - Legion - Imperium]

The moment that the strange note had appeared near him, he was that attentive to notice it just appear out of thin air. First thought that came to mind, it was the Knowledge's doing, seeing as that deity was basically "god" of this last world. Remembering what Knowledge had told them, and assuming that she had said the same thing to the Rebellion, then this note would have some important information about this challenge. So, he read the note, and was quite interested by the fact that this deity decided to give some "help." Not that it was because of pity, but Xehanort could tell it was because there isn't anything happening from his end, and this was a perfect way to get things moving. He still had the plans to prepare his forces of Legion first, but he knew even if they didn't prepare, they would be able to storm the single island and take whatever was these mysterious supplies, crushing the Rebellion forces that could be there already.
