Imperial Court of the Blood Dragon Shogunate

[Elven]

[font=Century Gothic]Yuuma Saburo bowed back to Ryuu. Then he said a Word.
[color=#FFFFFF]"Konichiwa, Ryuu-san. Hai, I remember our meeting with drone of the 101st administrator Jameson. Bad we didn't destroy, but it's Fate of this drone, maybe. Concerning the Lane Hackers... Hai, we might try to ask Golden Chrysantemus firstly, their beauty is something for my eyes to enjoy, unlike red eyes of those gajin who spend their destiny with neural net communications. However, if you wish to do that personally, don't forget our sisters value place where gajin Jameson comes from. I'd like to say, it'd be better to do that through woman, maybe."

Kintaki wanders in the court.

"I am here my lord. What ever you desire shalt be my command."

Kintaki raises his head looking towards the Shogun.

Hirosho Horatami had received word of the Outcast Storta vessel in Blood Dragon space. Before he could tell the Taishogun what was on his mind, he left with haste. He stormed down to the hanger bay, pushing and shoving people out of his way while running. Quickly, he entered his Gunboat with only himself and two of his crew that were already asleep inside the ship. Once they had been buckled in and cleared for launch, he did so. Hirosho departed Kyoto to find the small freighter being escorted into Kyoto. With a small but precise thrust, the dragon gunboat skimmed the freighter on the front and sent it spiraling backwards. Hirosho Horatami then proceeded to tell the two escorts that he would handle this matter. The two ships now sat there alone, with Kyoto watching.

Several seconds had past when both the freighter and the gunboat approached the Storta. The small freighter re-entered the Cruiser, and Hirosho left his gunboat in a similar craft. Kyoto Base could see no more.

Kintaki wanders in the court.

"I am here my lord. What ever you desire shalt be my command."

Kintaki raises his head looking towards the Shogun.

Shogun Gok-Li sat alone in the Court. The Taishogun had retired for now, and the other two Shogunate chairs were empty.

"Kintaki-san is it? As you can see, the halls of the Court have been thinned of leadership of late. The reports are in, and Shogun Miyamoto is now considered Lost In Space."

Kintaki was grim and resolute, but his voice quavered "Miyamoto-domo shall be missed, but I remain here, ready to serve." Kintaki bowed again.

Sum smiled. "Soon, we shall be entertaining guests here on Kyoto. You shall be the first to hear of it Kintaki-san."

With that, Sum issued a general order:

"By the Will of the Taishogun, a delegation from the Order has been invited to Kyoto. Any ship of gunboat or smaller size shall be granted free passage and docking rights until further notice."

Kintaki looks towards Gok-Li with a questionable manner. "My lord. You mentioned Visitors? Isn't that risky with a bunch of Hogoshan allies? I mean sorry to question your decision my lord but i feel strong against this allience. Unless however a agreement is made to remove Hogoshans from there allied ideas then im standing against this. With all due respect my lord."

Kintaki also looks towards the the exit from where he last saw Miyamoto leave. " It is such a tragic loss. I will avenge him i swear an oath down on my blade i will find the corrupted soul that took away such a dear friend of ours."

A memory of serving with Miyamoto returns to Kintaki's mind. He whispers to himself " Time to make a change."

"I Kintaki Mitano." Gok-Li turns to look at Kintaki openly addressing himself. "Vow to run for Shogun in order to assist my fellow rising warriors and to rightfully be the right hand man of the Taishogun. I will not dissapoint anyone of you!"

Kintaki turns and bows down honourably towards Gok-Li.

'Teraku-san? Welcome to Kyoto, please follow me.' Teraku nodded to the Dragon who showed up in the docking plateau. Then, he walked after him in order to reach the Throne's Room. After twenty minutes walking along the hallways, they reach their destination. 'I think there's no need to remind that you'll meet the honorable Taishogun... Good luck.'

________________________________________________________________________________

Teraku walked into the Throne's Room, glancing around quickly. Keeping some distance, he kneeled before the Taishogun, lowering his head. He began to speak in a polite tone:

'Honorable Taishogun, after thirty years, the fate finally decided I must fight for a greater cause, a just cause which concerns the welfare of our homeland...
I'll pledge allegiance to the Hideyoshi's dinasty in order to bring back the legitimate Shogunate to Kusari...'

Teraku didn't do any movement. He was awaiting for the Taishogun's response.

The hangar was lit with activity, sirens blazing in their usual monotony warning people of ships about to dock. The Inner door opened, and a fighter of different design came in, settling down on one of the many launching pads. The Inner door repeated it's exercise a few times, each time a fighter of similar design docked until finally, the exercise was over.

The hanger in-charge narrowed his eyes as he looked at the visitors. A ship of such a design had not been seen for many a year on Kyoto, and the marks of the Eye of Horus were unmistakable.

He quickly called an underling, and told him to rush off to the Shoguns with the news. The Order had arrived.

Hirosho Horatami left the Storta in a small pod, and was shot out towards kyoto. As soon as he had left the destroyer, it fled towards the Sigma 13 jump hole.

On his way back, the daimyo noticed the order ships yet again present in the Blood Dragon base. The pod was quickly scanned by Kyoto, and confirmed the Daimyo Hirosho Horatami was on board, but there was confusion among the blood dragons as to why he was not in his gunboat, and why he had not made a transmission yet. Eager dragons awaited Hirosho's pod to arrive, curious of the Storta's buisness. The small craft docked beside an order ship, the pod's entrance lifted, and Horatami collapsed on the floor.

He was drenched in blood, with scars all over him, and his sword and pistol split in half. Hirosho was put on a small hover table, and left with the medics. He was bleeding badly, and there was a slim chance he would survive. The Daimyo was unconscious, and they were losing him.

The Order representatives were quickly escorted to secure quarters. At least a hundred guards were needed to keep back the growing crowds that came gawk, cheer and jeer the Order. The key Order officers were invited to tea in Shogun Gok-Li's chambers. There they would be briefed before being taken before the Taishogun.

Teraku didn't do any movement. He was awaiting for the Taishogun's response.

"Arise, Teraku-san" The Taishogun motioned for a datapad.

"You are a kenjutsu instructor? An auspicious profession if ever there was one. Seeing as you have cleared your health and security checks - you have been brought before the Taishogun as a full-blooded warrior."

The Taishogun motioned to an aide.

"You shall be assigned you new quarters, and from this day forth shall begin your new life one filled with purpose. The Taishogun is informed that flight training starts at 0400 hours. He looks forward to seeing you in the Court again, with news of your exploits."
