After making Leonardo unconscious, Number 1 ordered one of his shadows to carry Leonardo back to the base while he disappeared to go meet their leader.
The reason why number 1 had not gotten the right to be called Zero was because he hadn't proven his worth yet. Completely taming Leonardo, converting him to the dark side, making the Chaos organization loyal dog which would betray Alex, stabbing him in the back was Number 1 goal.
'It will be fun. I'm almost done with the training. Just a little bit more.' Number 1 mumbled as he headed to his destination. A forest.
The forest was far-reaching, impenetrable, and verdant. Its canopy was dominated by poplar, hawthorn, and cottonwood, their crowns allowed for short beams of light to descend for a range of ferns to sprout in the nut and seed covered grounds below.
Bundled branches clung to most trees, and a potpourri of flowers, which claimed remnants of light, added some bright touches to the otherwise amber scenery.
A clamor of beastly noises, most belonged to prowling animals, added life to the forest, and drowned out the swaying of tree tops in the wind.
Nestled in the middle of woodland was a mansion. It's windows were as shy eyes, large to welcome any ray of sun. The rock walls belonged right where it was, as if perchance it had grown up right from that hallowed ground. It was as if it had been called into existence to protect those who came to dwell within, to quell the elements and allow a heat to build from hearths into the inhaled woodland air.
Number stopped before this mansion and inhaled profoundly before stepping in. As if it was automatic door, it opened on its own and him in. The most corrected description would be to say the door opened like a beast maw and swallowed Number 1.
As soon he entered, Number 1 was sent somewhere, he appeared in the middle of a garden and surprisingly Lord Thanos could be seen taking care of a flower. The way he acted right now was completely different from his usual self but Number 1 was already used to their leader unusual habits and hobbies.
''I greet Lord Thanos.'' He said while going on his knees.
''How is the progress of the brainwashing?" Lord Thanos asked without turning around and continued to carefully tend the flower, a dandelion.
The humble dandelion is the gold amid the green, a little sunshine close to the earth, born to shine.
Number 1 was temporarily mesmerized by the golden petals, they were like a miniature sun amidst this greenery.
He quickly snapped back to his sense and hurriedly answered Lord's Thanos question.
''70%'' He declared sure of this percentage, Leonardo might have temporarily come back to his sense but it was because he hadn't been completely brainwashed yet. Once this happened he would docile as a tamed monster.
''70% huh?!" Lord Thanos mumbled and Number 1 body tensed, he secretly played for Lady Misfortune not blessing him as he didn't want to lose everything he had accomplished since he became a numbered.
With his head lowered Number 1 calmly waited for Lord Thanos to continue, he even stopped breathing.
''That is not bad.'' Finally Lord Thanos spoke relieving Number 1 from the tension he was feeling.
''Continue with the training and send with Fake Numbers to make the enemy lower its guard.'' Lord Thanos immediately ordered and Number 1 nodded before disappearing, he was sent back by Lord Thanos's will.
''I doesn't matter if the enemy is aware of one of our greatest weapons. We have a lot of backup plans but that little girl must be taken care of and quickly as that.'' Lord Thanos mumbled after sending away Number 1.
He was well aware that Incursio had already spread the news that they have a secret weapon called demon but it doesn't matter, no matter what those humans would do, they were already the losers in the incoming battle as the victor had been decided from the very beginning.
''Should I go myself or should I send someone else instead?" Lord Thanos pondered for the moment before shaking his head, he had more important things to do as Lord Bahamut was getting impatient as days goes, he even suffered another attack recently and the culprit had not been found yet. He must find whoever it is and kill it before their Lord suffered more damage and there was still the mission of retrieving the other keys to quickly unseal Bahamut.
''It is preferable to send someone else instead. The problem is who I should send?''
''That girl is troublesome to deal with if I were to send a weak Numbers, she will kill it. Although I'm certain that she was still recuperating she is not an easy opponent. What a tricky problem. Maybe I should send Number 2 and 3, those two should do the job.'' He went silent for a moment before deciding.
''It's decided. Let's send those two.''
Lord Thanos immediately gave the order for two newly appointed Numbers to go hunt Incursio, he also sent them Incursio general location, around the Foxia empire.

After spending time with his sister Alex finally escaped and went to his room. He was rather tired after the long journey, he needed some rest, alone that is.
Before lying down Alex felt like he was forgetting something important but no matter how hard he tried he was unable to recall what he was forgetting.
''Well, it doesn't matter, let's rest for a moment. I'm sure I'll remember after I'd a good rest.'' He said before closing his eyes, drifting into sleep.
Meanwhile, in another dimension, Silveria's world. Silveria could be seen pouting with her arms above her knees on a queen size bed. She wore a nightgown and this The nightgown was a silky midi-dress in black with velvet spaghetti straps.
''That asshole. He dare to forget the premise to bring me on a date. I've tolerated Saeko because she is a nice child but to think that he would forget that the date should be mine?''
She was really upset when Alex made that promise, it should have been her turn as he had promised to invite him to go on a date as an act of apology but now he seemed to have completely forgotten about this promise.
''Tch! If I was one of his women he wouldn't have forgotten so easily will he?" She stood up from the bed and strolled toward the window where she watched the scenery outside.
''I will give him a few more days and I shall remind him of the promise he made himself and if still didn't remember despite all of this then I'll ignore him.''
Alex woke up after four hours of rest. Leaving the bed he strolled toward the window and observed the scenery outside, it was already evening. He should join the girl but first there was something he had to check first, he had been postponing this for a moment but now that he had a little bit of time he should check it.
''Status!" He silently called out and his status window popped up right before his eyes. Scanning it he couldn't help but chuckle.
''Despite playing the Samaritan I've only level up once. Well, I guess it's not bad as I have also gained equipments. I should be counted with what I've got and focus more on my growth and the others growth from now on.'' He decided.
