Eventually another meeting was conducted amongst the haters, and where they intended to decide how to get rid of the problem that was the spreading of ‘Combined Fighting Method’, at the source.

“That wretched Poisonous Philosophy of Kemoro’s is spreading far and wide within the City, it is no longer just those inbred Slum scum who are practicing it, many of the Citadel’s precious geniuses have been corrupted as well.”

“Lofen allows such trash to spread throughout the City, but many a powerful techniques, and arts, that could have long empowered Martial Citadel, have been labeled as heresy and looked at as forbidden by the community. It's pure stupidity.”

“Indeed when one combines the Dark Arts with Martial Arts genuine raw power becomes attainable, the world would no longer look down on us, if Dark Arts were truly forbidden Volunterra would have long made laws against them, but yet none exist, it is obvious that conquering the Dark Path was perceived as a viable Pathway by the Founders. We should have long focused our efforts on true power, yet even now at the dawn of a New Age we waste our time with such trash.”

“I will never allow Kemoro’s Philosophy to thrive if it's the last thing I do, because of him the Rise of my Organization was hindered, and I'm sure all of you can share my sentiment in that regard.”

“We know Brother Kuker, but Kemoro is no longer the problem. In reality it is that damned Lofen who has constantly slighted us on the low, and thereafter that wretched Yupow. Because of him we have been humiliated again and again by that cursed brat Guso!”

“Yes they are the true obstacles to our rise. With them present in the City none of our Martial Ideologies can take fruit. Perhaps we can no longer be the saviors of the City, but maybe we can hijack this new transformation this City is undergoing. One of my disciples has discovered that Focus Shard energy can be changed into Dark Inner Energy. Perhaps their meddling is an unintended blessing.”

“Is that so Brother Lupal, how long have you kept such a secret under wraps, nice of you to finally tell us.”

“I was only making sure that such a phenomena was true, brother Gadef, I always intended to share it with you guys.”

“There is no point in arguing now, regardless of his intent, Lupal has been kind enough to reveal such a valuable discovery, but we first must get rid of those who intend to keep us suppressed of our destiny. In our hands we have many weapons but the right climate has not presented itself for us to make use of them, and that will include Dark Focus Shards as well. No, we must first kill the tree from its roots. Well hand them a lethal blow by eliminating Guso, the one who brought us all this trouble to begin with, first after which Lofens popularity will fall and chaos will take hold of the City. Once that happens it is the best time for us to take action and eliminate those who oppose us. As far as Yupow is concerned, my Night God Hand Martial Temple has the perfect ultimate technique to take him out when the opportunity arises.”

“That's a great plan Brother Tuv, but how are we going to get to Guso? Basically the whole Citadel is in cahoots to protect him. His actions have made many potential allies turn their backs on us and go to them even Dirgen who had previously intended to swear allegiance to us. Even though he's the weakest of the three, he's still a smart brat, a Ranker, and a formidable Expert in the end.”

“You give the Kid too much credit Salk, my Inner Blade Schools Zigif is enough to take him out. He used to be a genius rising D ranker but faced unfortunate circumstances. It is well known Guso avoids D rank Experts and above. We can send him with assassins from all your organizations, and if they fail we can save face by having Zigif challenge him to a Ranker duel to the death, thinking that Zigif, also being an F ranker, is within his abilities, Guso won't have a choice but to accept. I have it on good information that Guso’s been going outside the City walls a lot recently, now's the best time to strike before more of those Ground Mongrel abominations rise.” “Since it is you Brother Ziel, who has risen up to undertake this task and important mission, then I give you all my backing. I advise that It is best if the assassins we send are unknown, but we will equip them with the latest Inner Power Weapons Dirgen has invented.”

“Killing him with the product of his own invention I like the way you think Hahahaha!”

“ No I don’t fully agree with the plan, I too hate Kemoro and his Disciples and associates as much as the rest of you, but there is no denying that one way or another he is the source and holder of many valuable secrets and Arts. I propose we capture him and wring out all the knowledge he possesses. Then the future of the City will truly be in our hands.”

“It is true that sly Lofen has been astute in knowing we’re his enemies, and has masterfully kept us from gaining Focus Shard crafting rights, if we get the crafting process straight from the source there is nothing he can do about it.”

“Then it’s settled, everyone coordinate with Ziel and Zigif and lend him all of your help, after we work out the details we'll set the plan in motion all throughout the night and end Guso’s meddling by morning light.”

Many nefarious Martial Artists chuckled and cackled at their evil plans and intent, feeling confident in their minds that all the humiliation they had suffered in the past would be avenged once and for all.

And so that's how the assasination plan of Guso was devised.
