An announcer bellowed throughout the stadium, “We enter half time with a tie game at 10-10!” The entire populous within the suite breathed a collective sigh of relief as the football game entered half-time. Erika, Monroe, and the rest of the members all began to make their exits, “Constance, this has been a true joy. Thank you for diplomacy over war.

A troupe of Kingsmen approached a gold-plated gate. The captain of the group rang a bell as he waited for an attendant to receive him. An attendant scurried over to the men noting their armor to be that of the Kingsmen, the hand-selected warriors chosen to protect the King and Queen. The attendant received them, “Greetings, Kingsmen.

Xenia had arrived early to her mother’s training session on Khan Island. She and Victoria often trained within Khan Valley on the Khan family grounds near the castle for the sake of privacy while also having lots of room to spread out.

After exiting the royal court and making her way off the BloodStar Castle grounds, Xenia met Nero waiting outside for her in a lifted Jeep with huge tires. She hiked her leg up and took a big step as she thrust herself up into the doorless vehicle, and said, “To the royal air force base. I am in need of my jet to visit Khan Island tonight.” Nero nodded in silence and began driving as a loud exhaust could be heard from behind the two. It wasn’t long before they reached the gates to the air force…

The next morning Jacek and Vega woke up groggy and hungover. The two leaders along with their men had stayed up late into the night drinking and sharing merry stories. Jacek leaned up with one eye open and a grimace on his face as he looked around. He was outside by the small embers of what had been a sizable fire from the night before. Vega also slowly woke up and said, “Hell of a night. Did Erika break up with you?” Jacek stood up and brushed himself off, “Yea, I think she did. Something about…

“Aaaarrrrrrrrr”, A muscular man screamed at the height of his lungs collecting a terrifying amount of destructive ki. A bright yellow aura surrounded the man’s body at first and then flared above him coming to a point. The aura resembled a giant flame flickering above the man and dancing as it continued to grow and gain strength. The man then condensed the aura into a dense ball as he yelled more. The entirety of the energy was then released a single ball of destruction. It flew at an amazing speed…

It was late in the evening, and VP Morrow, Senator Hammond, and Senator Davis gathered in the President’s lounge many stories underground as they brought the President up to speed on recent events. The President smiled to everyone, “I feel like a spring chicken at 60 years old. What did that witch do to me?” Senator Hammond laughed, “That witch saved your life, and then she had her Chief of Security save our country.” Davis and Morrow laughed along with the other two as they spoke casually.…
