After that, I explained everything to everyone, and there were nurous mixed reactions. I expected that, but the strangest reactions were from the Annokale.
The realization that they weren't sothing that was created weighed heavily, and the realization of what they had been doing. For so of Annokale, it was too much to bear, and we had to put them to sleep in clones.
It took only three days for all the Annokale to gather, and they were a tense group. After sorting out the ones that were too far gone, I was left with just over two thousand Annokale.
The problem was that not all humans were sane, but that was only part of the problem with them. The real problem was in the consciousness of their minds; they were just bad people, and nothing short of mind control would change them.
After a long talk with Sofia about Victoria, we figured out a way to balance people's hormones. We tried it on Victoria first, and it helped her, but still left her attitude, but it was not like before.
We tried it on so of the ntally deranged Hosts, but that wasn't effective on everyone that we tried. A couple psychologists stepped forward, and I even designed a ntal System for one of them, but the problem was that so people didn't want to change.
After everything was said and done, less than a thousand pairs were left. Only thirty-five people with Systems were allowed to keep them, but they all were being monitored by a large group of people.
With barely one thousand troops left after a week, I gathered them all in one place.
"Good to see that there are so many faces here today. I wish that there could be more, but for now, you are all we have to work with. We have three months to prepare Earth for the first assault, and we need to prepare. Each of your Annokale is being sent information packets that will explain your targets and goals. Those without partners have a different mission than you have already been told. I know that a week ago, you were all trying to kill the humans, but now we need to help save them. They are going to be scared of you and for good reason. You are going to have to redeem yourselves and work hard to gain everyone's trust back. None of this is going to be easy, but nothing in life worth doing is easy!"
The crowd cheered, and I nodded, turning away from the stage. It was already the evening, and we had been going almost non-stop all week.
"This is sothing that I never thought could happen," Pyke said, dressed in a black suit as he relaxed.
"This is only the start; we are barely even making a scratch on what needs to be done," I said as I walked off the back of the stage, ten Annokale Generals and my ten girls all following .
I had wanted to send the Generals out with the others, but I sent their assistance instead. I was going to need the ten here training and getting much more potent.
"Ah, but Papi! We just worked for a week straight with all the crazies! You need to let us have a break!" Sofia complained.
"Yes, I think that we all deserve a break since we had to do all the fighting down here while you were playing in space!" Katie laughed.
"I think that we could all go watch a movie? I have been working on so with dad, and his mind actually does a pretty good job of recreating the book in his mind!" Anya exclaid, and I shrugged.
"By all ans, but I need to start-"
"Daniel, did you not hear what Anya just said?" lody asked, cutting off. "All of us are going to watch the movie, and then you are going to relax for the rest of the evening."
"No, I am not. Listen, I get that you are all tired and drained. That is okay, and you all can take more breaks if you need, but I can't. There are too many things that need to be done right now that only I can do," I said, pinching at the skin on my forehead.
"I know, but can you at least co and watch the movie with us? We only see you when you need one of us right now," lody said, and I sighed.
It was true that I had been ignoring everyone, but no one really seed to understand what was coming. That was my fault.
I made a big show of showing everyone that I could handle anything, and now they really believed that. This seed to make them think that this wasn't a dire situation, but that was so far from the truth.
The truth was, I could work while watching the movie remotely. I also could direct tasks without leaving my body, and I did owe the girls sothing for working so hard.
"Fine, just for the movie. I can't lie and say that I am not interested to see how it has turned out," I said, dropping my hand, then looking at the group of Annokale. "Are you all coming? I am sure the girls won't mind."
If you are going, then I wish to join you," Cyndia replied with a smile that looked mischievous.

"Why does that smile put on edge?" I asked, and Cyndia just shrugged.
"I am just excited. I told you that I am devoting my life to you now, so it is nice to know that you are willing to spend ti with . Even if it is with all the rest of these people," Cyndia said, still smiling.
"Be devoted all you want, but Daniel has all the girls that he needs right now! The harem doors are closed! You might get sothing if you are outstanding!" lody declared, and I whirled on her.
"Excuse , I am not so prize to be doled out! She is just going to have to find so other guy! I have all of you that I barely spend any ti with right now!" I growled, and lody shrugged.
"How are you going to keep people motivated if you don't dangle so kind of reward? Co on, you are the king of the world!" lody cheered but then squealed when Anya ca up behind her and grabbed her by the ear.
"Stop trying to pawn off our boyfriend! You might be fine with him sleeping with other won, but he is right. Daniel is not a prize, and if he needs to get so relief, I am more than willing to give it to him whenever he needs it!" Anya snapped, but then lody turned into a mouse.
Anya scread as lody broke free and ran up Anya's sleeve and into her shirt. I sighed, and then one of my roots burst from my arm, and up Anya's dress as she danced, and grabbed lody.
"You are being trouble right now, you know that?" I asked the little mouse, but she shrunk, got out of my root, and then turned into a cat that climbed on my shoulder.
"I am always trouble, but you picked ! Fine! I will stop trying to let you have fun! God, you would think that you would be all for this type of thing with this many won in your life, Nya~!" lody owed.
"Doesss that an that you want to co asss well?" ckel asked, and my blood went cold much like her own.
"Oh no! This should be good, Nya~!" lody chuckled, and I rolled my eyes as I turned back to face the obsessive snake woman.

"I an, I said everyone could co, so that includes you as well, ckel," I said, feeling a bit uneasy.
ckel had been the first Annokale General of three to approach and devote themselves to , but she was the worst of the tree. Cyndia at least was okay with just being around , but the snake woman wanted a lot more, and my rejection had only made it worse.
