In the SunTriad Kingdom in a neutral map there was a basic city called Rising Twilight city. This city belonged to the veteran first rate guild Twilight Echo. Twilight Echo is prospering in this kingdom mainly due to their strength but also due to their connection to Zero Wing. In the city lord mansions meeting room the guild leaders, elders, and shareholders were currently having a meeting.
"Examplerary Widow you can't be serious, why must you go so far!" Dark wave the current guild leader of Twilight Echo screamed angrily as he slammed his fist on the table.
"Guild leader Wave please calm yourself. This is a decision that not only Open Source has come to but the others as well. If we want Twilight Echo to become a titan, new leadership and direction is the only way. After all in such chaotic times the only way to survive is to adapt after all." Examplerary Widow calmly said as she looked at the frustrated Dark Wave. Even though Dark Wave was the guild leader and his strength extraordinary having reached tier 4 and the flowing water realm Examplerary Widow showed no respect for him.
"The rest of you can't have agreed with and sided with her on this right?" Dark Wave asked the other guild elders and shareholders. Those he were asking were part of other companies that had stakes in Twilight Echo. They and the Sun and Moon Corporation had worked together for years to build Twilight Echo into what it is today. Currently all these people had their heads down not daring to look Dark Wave and other Sun and Moon representatives in the eye. Dark Wave clenched his fist and sighed. He knew nothing he could say would change the current situation.
"Now that we know where everyone stands let's declare this meeting over." Examplerary Widow said as she got up and left. The others soon left the meeting room with their heads hanging low leaving Dark Wave and the other people affiliated with Sun and Moon in the room.
"Wave let's just leave it alone. We have to take this time to salvage what resources we can get our hands on and start somewhere new." Spring Echo said to Dark Wave as he placed his hand on the man's shoulder.
"I know that's the best course of action Big Brother but we just can't leave the guild like this! Our family poured blood, sweat, and tears to build Twilight Echo and now we let them down, how can I look father in the eyes after this!" Dark Wave was frustrated.
"Guild leader, Brother Spring why don't we ask little Aqua for help. Maybe with Zero Wings we can turn this around somehow." Someone mentioned.
Dark Wave could only let out a long sigh after hearing this. "And what do you want Aqua and Zero Wing to do, roll up here and destroy the guild. I don't think Open Source cares about the guild, what they want is Zero Wing."
"They want Zero Wing?" Someone asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid so. Think about it, we have been enjoying a stable and profitable collaboration with Open Source till now, why do you think they are giving all that up for no apparent reason." Spring Echo said.
"They must not be satisfied with supporting a first rate guild, afterall Open Source is a Fortune 500 company, the only reason they invested in Twilight Echo was because they believed we had promised to become a super first rate guild and they couldn't invest in already established superpowers. But after so long we haven't become one ourselves and don't show any signs too." Spring Echo explained.
"Yeah, they must be doing all of this to bring Aqua here so they can threaten her. Knowing she won't destroy her family's guild they will use that to somehow give up her shares of Zero Wing to take back control." Dark Wave continued.
When the rest heard this they felt even more helpless. Many started to feel that this situation wouldn't have happened if they had not chased Aqua Rose out the guild. With herself and a no name martial artist they managed to turn Zero Wing into a super first rate guild, something they could only dream of.
"Listen none of you should inform Aqua about this ok. That girl is too kind, if she finds out she might disregard everything and rush over. We can't ruin her bright future because of our inadequacies, you got that." Dark Wave said and everyone agreed.
This is their fight, how could they call themselves adults if they rushed to a little girl for help in this situation.

Back in White River city Shi Feng was a little stunned at what Aqua said. In his past life Open Source and Sun and Moon had worked together to make Twilight Echo into a giant and the current Sun and Moon was close to becoming a Fortune 500 company, even if Examplerary Widow hated Zero Wing she would never provoke Sun and Moon to get at him and the guild. There must be something more going on here.
"Aqua what do you want to do?" Shi Feng asked her, after all this is her family's guild.
"I don't know guild leader, what can I do, this is all too weird." Aqua said, she had found out about the situation from a close friend in Twilight Echo a few minutes ago. She also knows her family doesn't want her to get involved. At first she thought of letting her family and those who followed them into Zero Wing but the standards of those who might come aren't satisfactory. In gods domain right now you are considered an expert if you can reach the trial towers six floor middle stage, but in Zero Wing that won't even qualify you to become an elite in the guild who are at the seven floor middle stage at least. Also if she were to bring her family and the other Sun and Moon heads into the guild, even though it is out of good will they all still belong to a major corporation. With all these authoritative figures suddenly joining Zero Wing they won't be satisfied with core member positions and a fight over the control of the guild may begin. All these factors can affect Zero Wings reputation, strength, and stability not in a good way. Shi Feng agreed this isn't a problem that could be handled with force or recklessly. Aqua call your family and tell them I want to have a meeting with them in a few hours.
"Ok guild leader." Aqua didn't know what Shi Feng planned to do but she had brightened up. Afterall Shi Feng never let her down once. As for Shi Feng, he's going to solve this problem with a little cheat knowledge from the future. If open source wants to start problems he doesn't mind showing the corporation what it means to be foolish.
