With Natalya suddenly struck by immobilizing terror with her body hunched over cowering, Xenia turned to Constance and grabbed the back of her neck pulling her in for a kiss, “I missed you Constance.” The two girls kissed like long-separated lovers until a man to the side softly cleared his throat, “Forgive me if I am interrupting, but if you are going to kill me please get it over with.” Constance smiled at Xenia and said, “Can I kill this one too? Please Xenia.” Xenia released her hold of…-

Xenia entered through the doors of the large facility to find a dark, eerie interior with the lights off due to the lack of power. Few emergency lights shed just enough light to illuminate a large and predominately empty room with tall ceilings. The borders of the room were comprised of holding cells, and numerous rafters and walkways littered the view above. She could sense every living being within the building with her ki, and she showed no hesitation as she came upon three men in ninja gear with their…

“You have a lot of people very nervous Natalya. I give every high-ranking seat under my command the flexibility to change our plan of action in the field, but this… This is quite the change. The leadership committee would like to hear the details of your plan.” Master Karasu spoke in to the conference call phone with the entire Allied Forces leadership present. Natalya responded, “Master Karasu. I assure you this is our chance to take an overwhelming advantage in this war. We could even…

On a cold, rainy night Xenia hung up the phone as she finished talking with Nero. She stared out her window into a stormy dark sky with streaks of lightning with an irritated look on her face. She picked her phone back up and immediately dialed an increasingly familiar number. A voice on the other end answered, “Hello? It is late Xenia. This must be important.” She responded, “This is of utmost importance. The allied forces have captured Constance Khan alive. I need you to contact anyone with the…

Constance watched the battlefield like a hawk noting Mattison’s charge overwhelming the Sage Empire soldiers and Nero facing off against a powerful ki user she didn’t recognize. She felt no need to add her presence to the battlefield at the moment. However, moments later, the southeastern wall of the fortress shook with an explosion. She raced around the overlook to see a much smaller squadron of 100 soldiers led by a sword-wielding ki user. Constance thought to herself, “A small group. I should be…

Nero stood at the top of Liberty Memorial’s overlook alongside General Mattison. Nero looked to the East with his arms crossed as Mattison said, “Expecting an attack from the East, Nero?” Nero grunted before answering, “I expect an attack. That is all.” Mattison smiled, “I see you have the experience of war to draw on. An attack will come soon. I have no doubt, but as you say… from which direction we cannot know.” Nero curtly asked, “Has it been 24 hours since Xenia broadcast her…

A massive naval aircraft carrier flying the Heraklinos empire flag was docked at the largest United States naval base in Norfolk, Virginia. Although the carrier was chock full of fighter jets, guns, and other weapons of war, the strongest asset aboard was none other than the heir to the Heraklinos Empire, Jacek Heraklinos. Jacek stepped off the bridge of the boat and onto the dock stepping forward to shake President Monroe’s hand. Monroe welcomed him, “Jacek! You look more and more like your father…

Xenia stood atop her basilica overlook as she stood with her arms crossed looking down at her army marching past and onwards to war. She had made a hasty return to the Holy Light Empire from Dallas to see them off. General Mattison had mustered the army much quicker than Xenia expected. His command was impressive. Her army consisted of BloodStar soldiers as well as Holy Light Empire knights who had decided to stay under Xenia’s new command. The incentive of money, land, and power was too much for most…

Karasu turned to see a shadowy figure of a person concealed by a dense black aura. Although the physical appearance was somewhat masked, there could be no doubt that the physique of a strong man existed beneath. Karasu assumed a defensive position immediately as he honed all senses on to this man. Jarek took note of Karasu’s on guard posture, and said, “Do you know this man Karasu? Is he dangerous?” Karasu grit his teeth, “Yes. And you do too by name. Though I have no idea why Jarek’s eyed…

The next day, the Master Family Alliance had read Xenia’s statement following the rejection of her bizarre marriage proposal and convened to discuss her intention to push forward against the United States. Master Heraklinos walked with Master Karasu, “I quite agree with President Monroe of the United States. He has merely traded one southern aggressor for another. We will stand with him, and as we have all discussed today, we are thrilled to have our newest member so close to the action. You and your…
