Ben arrived at the Gransela housing which he wasn't surprised in what he saw.
'Out of all egocentric people I know this House takes the cake. Instead a simple House or a Mansion.. instead he put a fucking massive PALACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOUSING!!'
Ben looked like a tiny speck as he entered the area and even wondered how the place wasn't blown up or put into flames like the other places. Ok not all were in flames and some places like Avenor Mansion had advance security that would stop it. So maybe James also had something to prevent... Ben soon stopped and noticed blood?
'What the... a small pool of blood by the looks of it shot by a sniper rifle... sni- oh fucking hell.
Ben soon raised his hands in surrender figuring out something WAS protecting this palace after all.

A group of men are hidden in different places, aiming their weapons towards the man that is approaching the Palace. With the size of the palace, there's a suitable number of soldiers defending it. Of course this is done without protection, but usually they're disguised as regular servants.
The Palace is much larger than most other houses, but not only that, the Gransela seems to have done some modifying to it in secret. There are defensive weapons placed in concealed locations, ready to be used if necessary, and most of them are activated right now in this situation.
"Stop right there! If you take one more step then we will not hesitate to kill you!"
Being James' soldiers, they usually just shoot whoever it is that is approaching, and not be nice enough to give out warnings. But looks like it's Ben's lucky day, Elena is in charge of the guards while James is resting, and she's the nicest person you can find in the palace.
Elena had the soldiers hold their fire, there's no need to shoot if it's not an enemy, but just to be safe she stopped the intruder. After all their lord just took half the man's live a while back, who knows if he took the opportunity to come back for revenge.
"Ross, Jones, go check on the intruder, make sure he's not armed. If he's good to go then bring him to James."
"You got it ma'am, lets go Jon."
Two of the men got out of their position and walk over to Ben, their weapons ready in case they need to use it. The one named Jones went over and do a body check on Ben. They notice the handgun on his belt and takes it away.
"We'll keep this for now kid, can't have you mess with the boss... he's good Ross."
"Alright, lets go."
They give a sign to show it's safe and walks back, so Elena have the guards back on standby.
"Mr. Avenor right? Please come with me if you want to meet with Lord Gransela."
Though she's not carrying a gun, the sword on her side shows that she can fight as well, or even better than the men around. After all she's one of James' close guards, and he don't just choose her for her looks.
She turns and enters the house, but the guard that opened the door for her lets go and shuts it before Ben can enter, looks like he's got no intention to hold the door for him. They have a hostile relationship for a while so that should be expected.

Ben allowed the man to take his weapons as he was patted down as he heard what he said Ben then replies, "I do hope so that gun was given to me on my 14th Birthday from my father. If you scratch it I am going to break your jaw."
Ben followed the woman noticing how big the place is and whistled at the marvel all around.
"Damn nice place.", Ben lied.
'Even his statues are in his image!! In the name of the Star Child this place is crazy!!'
As Ben came up to the door he was expecting it to stay open only to close right in his face having him hitting it full on. He soon fell back as his face felt red, from the door.
"GAH DAMN IT!!", Ben soon shouted as he was on his ass.
Soon he dusted himself off and went to the door hoping it was unlocked as he turned to enter.

Sitting on a comfortable chair, in a decorated pajamas(completed with fluffy sandals), and holding a glass of wine, is the owner of this place. James doesn't look like he care about what's happening outside his mansion, nor does he care about the young man that just came to see him.
Standing beside him is his other close servant Reimu, whose not in her usual dress, but instead wearing a bathrobe that could barely cover her body. She stands by James, looking a bit annoyed by the visitor, her attire might explain why.
James looks at Ben and places his glass down on the table to the side, sitting back and slightly rocking his chair, seeming taking his time and not in a hurry to talk. Eventually he speaks up to his visitor.
"Well well, who do we got here? If it isn't the young Ben Avenor... I got to say, you caught us at a bad time."
"Hmph!"
Reimu clearly shows her annoyance at Ben, normally she'd just ignore him but she's just human, sometimes it's hard to force yourself to like someone, especially when you caught them at a... busy time.
"The mighty Avenor won't need help from me, which confuses me, what is it that you could have came here for?"
James seems to be enjoying himself with the situation he has on hand, he knows perfectly fine what's happening outside, but there's no need to help them without a good reason. Lets see what they have to present to him...

Ben tried to ignore the other "Occupant" in the room which made him blush slightly but he had business.
"Well you see, you do know there is chaos and flames all around yes? Anyways earlier today no not the attack on the Housing but earlier then that Ven investigated an attack on Karli you see we got a problem. Not a small one no but one of those infamous legendary problems with a guy out for revenge and willing to take out anyone in the process problem. So far I do not know much only that he is strong enough to turn bone to dust with his hands... err ok FAKE hands still. Patriel is also out of commission to found out he went against this guy earlier and almost died as well. Ok it is hard to come to terms and out of all the people in the entire galaxy I am forced to ask."
Ben went on his knees and bowed very low with his head on the floor before James soon saying,"The others want to face this guy head on but that probably won't work if both Patriel and Ven did that. They are more skilled then me I must admit which means... which means the only other martial artist except Patriel's brother around is you. And I also forced to admit this, your smarter then the rest of us and good at making plans to kill enemies. So I am begging for your assistance."

"Fufufu... why I'm flattered you came to me for help. Well dear, looks like I'll be quite busy tonight, we'll have to continue some other time... have 'everything' prepared, alright?"
"....Alright, be safe James."
Reimu leaves the room, and as she heads back to her room, she sends a message to Krutus about this to tell him of the situation, and James' decision. It's working out even better than he expected, with Ben coming to beg him for help, a great opportunity in exchange for a disposable pawn.
"Say... why don't you guys just... send a squad or two in? Quit fighting with just your fists, learn to use that puny brain inside your head for once... but hey, at least you learned to look for help, maybe you're smarter than your cousin after all."
James gets up from his chair, turning to Elena as he leaves the room.
"Tell your team and Harold's team to get ready, we're moving out."
"Yes my lord!"
Elena salutes to James as he leaves the room, then looks at Ben once before doing the same herself, leaving him in the room.
-
Moments later James in his power armor stands before a team of men with Elena standing in front of them, beside her team is another squad, this time with a man leading them. The leader of the other team looks nothing close to Elena, with several scars on his face, and an eye patch covering his left eye. The man looks and feels like a veteran, and suitable as the leader of a squad of soldiers, it's like what you'll find in an old style military movie.
"Elena, Squad Alpha ready for combat."
Elena's squad are mainly swordsmen, holding a sword and shield, with a small pistol as a sidearm. Each one of them trained hours and hours to prepare for any situations.
"Harold is here! Me and my boys are ready to go."
Harold's team however, focuses on firearms and ranged weapons, equip with assault rifles and explosives. They might not train nearly as much, but they've seen many battles and survived by slaughtering their enemies with the weapons in their hands, on their back, or just anything they could find, as long as it kills, they would use it.
James himself is in the battle armor he used during the tournament, besides the Laser Shotgun, he's got another new weapon with him. A Monomolecular Katana, looks like not only is he skilled with his fist, but he can do just as fight with a sword. He turns to look at Ben, waiting for him to lead the way to battle.

Ben looked at James as he gave off that sly evil grin on his face which made Ben shutter inside.
'Its almost like I made a deal with the devil himself...'
Ben almost felt like punching the bastard with that smug off his face but soon sighed not like he had any choice well he did.
Much later Ben soon arrived with his own Power Armor ready and his helmet on his hand. One would note though Ben's armor looked much different still bulky but seemed of went through modifications.
"Well I guess this should be enough, but a personal army James?", Ben soon asked the man he knew people kept some guards and many automated defenses but this many?
'Then again, with an ego this big no surprise.'
"Alright we will meet with Mica and Sarganus at this point... whatever you plan to do James, here is the layout so.. ya.", Ben soon said as he gave the data to James where for them to head and meet up.
