"An old acquaintance, Didact?" Gandalf asked Didact. "Skye told me
about you all already. There is no use trying to hide your names."
Skye gaped. "I never told you about that!"
"Or I got the information from your mind."
"But can we hide our powers?" Quill asked Gandalf. He was currently
mopping up his spit take with Murphy. He then walked up to Korra
and asked "Hey. Names Quill. What's yours?" Quill asked as he
leaned on a pole. Murphy began to giggle.
Korra facepalmed "I already have a girl and three boys hitting on
me! I don't need another one!" She screamed, annoyed.
"Yes, yes, no need to fear, I'll keep your mutants powers a secret
from the other Elves." Gandalf reassured. "But as for Annatar, he
is another matter. I cannot guarantee anything."
"Well, the more the merrier." Quill said as he shrugged his
shoulders. "But I will have you know, I am different from the other
guys that you have ever met." Murphy rolled his eyes and began to
search for a banana. He had grown a lot. He was now the size of a
Young Tiger.
"Boy, I have been from one end of your galaxy to another. I
doubt you are different." Annatar replied. Annatar's gaze
looked at Murphy for a moment. "Gandalf, where is Galadriel? I
need to have a word with her."
"Recovering."
"Send for me at the shore once she is well enough to speak.
Little devil pulled a few strings, didn't she? Though I trust she
is doing so for the better..." Annatar muttered, speaking in
Quenya.
Didact looked at Quill and allowed himself a half-smile. Then he
sighed and went back to the problem at hand. "Now, you have a
leader. What does the leader want to do in face of recent events of
increasing enemy activity?" he asked.

"We need to fortify the city. Like, with as much fortifications as
possible." Korra answered. "Can anyone here help me freeze some of
the ocean over so I can-"
"Don't be ridiculous, Avatar.We're never going to hold if you plan
to hold them with ice. A single crunch from a mutant might destroy
the ice." Skye interrupted. "Harry can use shield spells, so we
should put that to use. Oh, and also does anyone here know any
other defense mechanisms which doesn't take too much time?" She
asked.
"Now, where's that dragon girl from before?" Annatar asked
himself
"How many bullets or missiles or whatever does it have before it
runs out of ammunition?" Skye asked Didact. Korra rolled her eyes.
"How do you even know he'll answer you? He looks like the silent
type to me." She said. Gandalf gave a small chuckle. "Oh Korra, you
really are shortsighted." He said. Korra groaned.
"I have enough firepower to fry this planet ten times over. But
that's not the question. I won't use missiles. The Approach draws
energy from the surroundings, just like my weapons." Didact
answered. He wondered what had given Korra the misinterpretation
that he was the 'silent type'.

'Probably your helmet.' Gandalf answered. "And of course, I
am a wizard. The Elves behind me are also more than willing to kill
many mutants." He answered both Korra and Skye.
"Right. That means I need to group everyone. Uh... Harry, you
should go ans prepare that shield spell. Nigellias, come on and
help me to group everyone up." She said. Skye grinned. "Alright,
I'll be off then. I need to check on Galadriel. Bye!" She said,
before flying away.
Didact boarded the Approach. "Scan the city over and over." he
said. "As soon as there is any enemy movement, raise the
alarm."
"Aye, sir." the AI answered. Didact sighed. "This is gonna be a
long day." he muttered.

"You tell me." Harry muttered, as he raised his wand and began to
mutter a lot of spells. Gandalf turned to the Elves behind him and
began to issue orders in Quenya. The Elves gracefully marched away,
as they picked out spots in the walls to man.
Didact studied his displays on the Approach and decided everything
was in order. He grabbed a fruit from Requiem on the Approach and
removed his mask. He bit into it. Sweet juice flooded his mouth.
Didact finished the fruit and replaced his mask. He walked out of
the Approach. "Anything new?" he asked.

"Good old Apex." Didact sighed. "Can't the f****** over sized dog
just give us a break?" He asked, boarding the Approach. "I'd like
to know how he got out of my lock down. One hint. Killing him won't
do much. He'll regenerate." Then he turned around. "Bring up all
weapon systems, Arm Archer Missile pods A1 through to B1."

"So you guys have dealt with him before?" Korea asked.
"No, that would be Didact and Skye exclusively. The Elves have not
faced it in battle. And they are not eager to face something that
cannot be killed." Gandalf answered
"Fire armed pods." Didact said. Fifty missiles sped through the sky
and impacted at the group of predators. After the impact, there
were four normal predators left and one really pissed off
Apex. "Bring the Scanner online." Didact said.
