A/N: Miss me lads? I took a long ass break. But don't worry. We bringing this shi back for a bit. LETS RUN IT BACK!!!!! Uh I might disappear for a bit after unleashing my final hamon until I can find more motivation. A short chapter but more like an interlude. I need to think about the next steps of this fic and how the plot line should continue. Also will probably introduce au aspects.
"Phainon, the little doll disappeared!" Cyrene rushed to inform Phainon of the news.
"Did you take the small doll?" She asked.
A light chuckle emerged from Phainon's lips, "Now why would I take a small doll?" Phainon's face was filled with a strange look.
"Why is that doll really that important?" He asked.
Cyrene went silent as a sense of strange foreboding crept up her spine. Something about that doll just seemed really important.
"Little Cyrene did you lose this doll?" An old aunty had arrived holding the little small Yun doll.
"Oh wow! Thanks. Where did you find it?" Cyrene asked curiously.
The lady explained how it was found by the waterside on the docks.
Both Cyrene and Phainon gazed at the doll with a strange chilling feeling on their backs.
This was a bit creepy no?

Yun stood in front of a tiny sphere, the size of a basketball. His mood was at an all time high.
His plans were starting to be set into motion and he himself was strong enough. He stared at the already miniature scepter in front of him.
He had managed to conceal a scepter and change its permissions to gain access to this vast computing power. In a way instead of disarming the scepter, he had converted it for his own purposes with full permissions.
Any potential consciousness that would be born had long been crushed and warped by the equations and cryptological sequence chains to make sure that the scepter would never escape control.
Yet it was at this moment a robotic voice emerged from behind him.
"Who are you? Identify yourself." The voice questioned.
Yun turned around to see an intellitron, a familiar intellitron.
"It is a pleasure to meet a junior of such esteemed status Mr Screwllum." Yun placed a hand on his chest and bowed slightly.
Inwardly he could only curse, Zandar's manners had rubbed off on him. But such elegance... Not bad.
"Hypothesis: A senior member of the Genius Society." Screwllum stated.
Yun nodded "You are correct. I am indeed a senior member of the Genius Society. Can I help you junior?"
Screwllum's metallic face couldn't express much, but even then one could sense the discomfort radiating from his figure.
The Genius Society was a mixed bag, filled with potential mad men or benevolent people. There was no way to tell unless one were to meet them.
And since this was a senior member of the society, Screwllum had already raised his caution to the maximum.
"Question: What are you going to do with the scepter?" Screwllum asked.
"I have my own uses for it. I assure you that I will not use this for morally questionable research topics." He responded.
Screwllum tilted his head, "What will you use it for?" He asked.
Yun chuckled "For a future happy ending. Or rather to help me achieve such a happy ending."
Screwllum then asked the most important question, "Question: How can I trust your words?" The other party knew about him, but he knew nothing about the other party other than a senior member of the society.
Yun nodded "Yes indeed, a verbal binding recording will do then?"
He took out a small recording device as he spoke.
"Thus swears, Genius Society #0, Yun. I will not use this scepter to repeat any acts that previously occurred. Nor will I use the scepter in a way that harms humanity and all sentient beings." The voice recording clicked to end as he tossed it to Screwllum.
"I hope that will settle your mind. And please do not spread the knowledge of my possession of a scepter. It is very important to me." Yun made a request.
Screwllum out of curiosity asked a question he would ask in the future, "Query: Why do you believe I will accommodate your request?"
Yun chuckled "Because I know what type of genius you are and because of your conscience."
Screwllum thought for a bit as he retrieved all known records of the elusive #0 of the society, Zandar's senior when they were still students.
Additionally he exhibited no signs of madness or strange tendencies.
"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Senior Yun. I will leave this scepter to you then." Screwllum spoke as he held his hand out for a handshake.
The two shook hands as Screwllum asked, "Would it be possible to add your contact details? To find such an elusive and senior member of the society is truly a rare event. I'd like to keep in touch and frequently exchange academic topics."
Yun nodded "Yes that's fine." He held his phone out as they exchanged their account numbers before leaving.
"I wish you good fortune and success for your pursuit of a happy ending." Screwllum stepped on his ship before waving goodbye.
Yun waved goodbye as well before his figure faded away with a flash of purple sparks.
The scepter had now shrunk considerably and was now a small protective charm attached to chain of his monocle.
A small flash of light emerged from the scepter charm as Yun's figured faded into obscurity.
