The Reddest Rose

...it all happened the same night when the Utopian Federation decided to use mercenaries and accepting voluntary aide from it's colonies...


...the same night when Queen Rasa decided that Tangerine, a senate serving her late father is no longer valid in her presence...


...it is at that very same night when Tangerine; the Prime Minister from an uncharted hidden land named Atlantis began working on Utopian Federation downfall for so long, began executing her plans from behind the shadows of an upcoming civil war...


"The Rose Of The Battlefield" came...

"I was just about to wrap it up for the day - rearranging the application documents, contracts and all that....there are no more applicants for the day, the office is nothing but empty.

...the guards...none inside the premise - i am sure of it. They are outside patrolling all possible entrance as they should be...but it seems like the security within this building is not to be much of a problem for her...

...after all she came; out of nowhere..."

-Divinekid

Rose: The Utopian Federation Military Headquarters; build during the reign of  the 17th King of Utopia in commemoration of his majesty great victory over the Exalion Kingdom  at the Battle of Laviae...

Divinekid: Wha...wher....hey! You there!

Rose: ...the monument build over other people's misery, the Utopian Federation "Golden Age" of conquest. History doesn't change much for mankind...or is it mankind never learn anything...

Divinekid: Intruder...how do you get inside the building!? I am calling the guards!

Rose: If ever your hand reaches for the communication device or should you intended to alert my presence to the armed forces stationed around the compound of this blood soaked building, I'm afraid i might need to silence you permanently...

Divinekid: Silenced me....?

Rose: You could try.

Divinekid: ...

Rose: There is some question that i would like you to answer...

Divinekid: Go to the office "Help Booth" you idiot!

...instead of barging into people's office this late at night!

Rose: I would like to know more about the assault that would take place on the rebel stronghold in Zelagross...

Divinekid: Not telling!

Rose: Your cooperation might save the foundation of your country as well as the people...

Divinekid: Mother say not to give information away to stangers!

Rose: I'm afraid that it's near impossible to gain some kind of understanding with this crabby meerkat. I think i have to try to adopt a more aggressive measure...

Divinekid: You bet! Try me!

Rose: Ahem...very well.

Divinekid: What...what is tha...gun? Guns? A gun!? Hey...hey wait a second!

Rose: Correct. It seems to lifted up your mood for a more "less hostile" conversation with me, unless you still prefer the taste of lead drilling deep into your internals...

Divinekid: There is no way that I'm going to leak out classified Utopian Federation information to some random strangers like YOU!

Rose: Is it worth it?

Divinekid: What's worth it?!

Rose: Centuries ago, the Utopian Federation who was at the verge of conquest spread their wings to the southern region of the Utopian continent.

The King at that particular time had already possessed a grand scale army no man nor civilization had ever witnessed before...and that army need to be supplied with adequate food and water in order to functioned as a spearhead for every Utopian military campaign...

The southern region, with it's warm climate and tropical seasons, are a haven for agricultural activities. Overseeing the importance of the southern region and the benefit it brings to his army, the Utopian King halted all other major campaign and marched his army towards the southern plains.

Divinekid: Why are you telling me this?! I have no time for...

Rose: ...there is however...only one obstacle standing in the way...

The ruler of the southern region, The Kingdom of Exalion had refused to cooperate with the warlike Utopian King and decided to drove the invaders away from their rightful homeland.

Divinekid: Exalion?

Rose: It was a one sided battle. In only three days Exalion falls...the cities burned and the people are either slaughtered or were sold as slaves.

The King of Utopia ordered that the whole member of the Exalion Royal Family to be executed...this was to prevent any possibility for a future rebellion or uprising from the surviving Exalion race that survived the invasion onslaught.

Divinekid: Do you think you're some kind of a genius historian!?

Throughout the history of Utopia; during the Utopian "Golden Age of Conquest" the kings adapted assimilation system that clearly stated out that the Utopian King should prioritize merging the kingdom and preserving the ruler of the occupied country in order to form a single more powerful country under the Utopian banner...

...even if the country was forced into war, the Utopian will always open itself for negotiations and prioritize peaceful negotiations before deciding to use force upon the opposing nation...

Rose: Exalion, as well as the inhabitants of the southern plains are rather unique...

...the Exalions are not of human races, instead they undergo the same evolution as that of the other ancient races like the Draconians, Elves and the Ravens; the ability to mimic human structure, verbal communication, brains and movement...with minimal or less changes made on their original features. 

...unfortunately, as human beings becomes dominant...they began surpassing the other races and decided to wipe out other competitors as the most superior races to roam the earth surface...

...the Elves and the Ravens are officially extinct - while the more powerful Draconians retreated to the underworld; vowed to rid the world of the human races when the time comes.

Divinekid: ...and what of that the Exalions?

Rose: ...i was about to say that the Exalions shares the same fate as the Elves and the Ravens;

However...now that i saw one with my own eyes, i guess i have to hold my tongue just a little bit longer...

Divinekid: What? Who survived? ...where did you...

Rose: It's a pity that...as the last surviving member of the Exalions, you disregard your past and put your loyalty to the ones that had murdered your entire race.

Divinekid: ...you know about my past?

Rose: I am here to gather the information about the war campaign against the rebel forces at Zelagross. There are many hidden organisations with different agendas involved...one that might threatened the very foundation of The Utopian Federation while another...threatened the future of this world.

...if you think that what i am saying are of any significant importance to you i want you to beamed the data to this coordinate: 43.60336 -110.7362

...however if you think i was just a lunatic trying to disturb you with some crappy fairy tale from the past; i would like you to forget that we ever met. Goodbye...

Divinekid: Wait! Tell me more about Exalion...tell me...

Lady Junna: The officer described the person between 172cm to 176cm tall, slender build with long tied ponytail hair...white except for the brown trousers...a red tie and a cape...

...is this the person you are looking for Bunny Two dear?

Bunny Two: That's Rose...yes i am sure it's her!

...is there any more information about her Lady Junna?

Lady Junna: None from the Registration officer...i have to check my other logbooks for that.

Bunny Two: There is another from the mercenary; Alonqexe. You did mention his name earlier.

Lady Junna: ...i hope it won't end there. It seems like the more we get involved in searching for your Rose...the more unexplained events which occurs during the Utopian Federation last moments unfolds before me.

Bunny Two: Yes, i agree...

Lady Junna: However...Bunny Two...there is something that i would like to ask you about...

Bunny Two: Hmmmm? What is it?

Lady Junna: All these talking...it sure took us one whole day discussing this and that...

Bunny Two: Yes...how time flies!

Lady Junna: That's not what i mean...

Bunny Two: Hmmm...?

Lady Junna:...it's getting terribly late now Bunny Two. don't you have a home to come back too?

Bunny Two: ...hmmmm...i ran away from home just to see you, Lady Junna.

Lady Junna: ...aren't your caretaker be terribly worried about your safety?

Bunny Two: I am worried about my safety when i reach home.

Lady Junna: ...where do you intend too stay for the night then...relatives or friends perhaps?

Bunny Two: Nope...here! Lady Junna will ready me a cozy bed and a tasty dinner before we continue our story for tomorrow! I am hungry!

Lady Junna: ...

Pieces Of Puzzles

Intervention: the act of intervening

(Government, Politics & Diplomacy) any interference in the affairs of others, esp by one state in the affairs of another

(Economics) Economics the action of a central bank in supporting the international value of a currency by buying large quantities of the currency to keep the price up

(Business / Commerce) Commerce the action of buying up surplus produce when the market price drops to a certain value
 
The Utopian Federation crisis had reached boiling point - a rebellion is inevitable...yet cloaked under the grim blackness of the nation's bleak future, we realised that more and more foreign powers had already begun intervening with it's political affair. ...
 
Political interest?
Espionage?
Opportunist? 
Fortune? 
 
...nobody knows...
 

Bunny Two: I never knew that our current Prime Minister had served Utopia before. There are no such information about the nation of Atlantis getting involved in other nation's affairs directly nor indirectly. in addition to that, meddling around with the outsider would risk the secrecy of the Atlantis itself.

Lady Junna: This my dear was the affairs of your country during the pre-commercialize era...and judging from my records Atlantians, under the leadership of Prime Minister Tangerine had been long observing the Utopian Federation much more earlier than that.

Bunny Two: She's not aiming for the Utopian Federation throne amidst the chaos?

Lady Junna: Not likely...as i explain the events surrounding the Utopian Federation fate you will notice that The Prime Minister of Atlantis; unlike the Kingdoms of Watermark - intervene in a rather strange pattern.

Bunny Two: Ummm...how come?

Lady Junna: The Badlands and The Watermark Kingdom both seek to outdo one another, racing for the Utopian throne. Lord Flame intends to continuously manipulate Queen Rasa for him and his fellow conservative nobles benefit, while Lord Mana planned a coup de'tat during the final stage of the Utopian civil war.

Bunny Two: They are both driven by power and position.

Lady Junna: Exactly. When the Atlantians decided to intervene, the outcome has little or no effects in contributing towards Utopia downfall. From my list here...destruction of the Utopian Arcane Library, small uprisings and vandalism in the commoners settlements, abuse use of the Utopian Mass Media....

Bunny Two: Maybe she hates reading?

Lady Junna: ....

Bunny Two: Okay, she hate books, love to party and then get herself in the media spotlight...

Lady Junna: ....

Bunny Two: I guess i got it all wrong...



Lady Junna: ...(sigh)...never mind, who am i to talk about history and politics to a nine years old;

...by the way Bunny two, do you know that apart from the nobles, the colonies, merchants and by all means intervention from a foreign land, there is another person whom out of nowhere, decided to participate unconditionally into the Utopian Nation crisis...

Bunny Two: Huh...another?

Lady Junna: I hope you can help me out on this Bunny Two, because up until today there is no clear explanation why did this peculiar person...or possibly an agent of some secret organisation decided to get into the heat of the battle in Zelagross plains and in the end, just disappears into thin air.

Bunny Two: ...peculiar...person...battlefield...could it be!?

Lady Junna: ...i take that you know whom I'm talking about my dear...

Bunny Two: Please...please...please...tell me... tell me more! 



Lady Junna: Well...alright my child. The whole incident happen at the very same day the volunteers and mercenaries registers themselves into the Utopian Army; that very same night when Tangerine was removed from her position as the Utopian Senate...

...as i headed towards the Utopian registration office to supervised the final phase of the program, i received report from the officer in charge that she was approach aggressively by a mysterious unknown person who began interrogating her for information's regarding the battle plan assault at the rebel camp in Zelagross.

Bunny Two: ...another intervention attempt?

Lady Junna: ...another Atlantian, this time however maybe with different goals. I ordered a perimeter search around the office compound in fear that vital top secret military information might have leaked out by a possible enemy spy...

...in the meantime i was trying to gather as much information about this intruder from the officer in charge. It took quite some time to help her relax and calmed herself down; after a while, she began to tell me her story...

Tangerine's Plot

"the winds of war is blowing..
the storm is brewing..
the skies will rain blood.."

- Banshee (Rose 16/7/2010)

Bada: Good evening Prime Minister Tangerine. That was fast of you coming back from your meeting with the Queen...or is it the Queen is unavailable for the time being?

Tangerine: Cut the formalities Bada. Please don't call me "Prime Minister" outside of Atlantis. There are many eyes and eyes that are spying and eavesdropping on us as we speak.

Bada: My Bad...but truly are we watched? This is indeed difficult times for Utopia...

Tangerine: I wish for none.
<

Bada: I am relieved. So you met the Queen? did she accept your reasoning?

Tangerine: I was fired.

Bada: What?!

Tangerine: I was stripped of my ranks, fired from the Utopian Parliament and shown the door out without ever had a chance to make her see my point of perspective.

Bada: What more could we expect from such a greenhorn leader. It's a pity...please don't take it to heart, you still got us and our homeland.

Tangerine: A homeland that would be in danger if we don't take immediate action regarding this Utopian crisis.

Bada: What should we do now?

Tangerine: Our espionage mission here had come to an end Bada. it's time to go home...

Bada: But what about the Utopian civil War...and...and...the growing threat from Watermark?

Tangerine: Easy there my friend. I've got that taken care of. It's not that we just turn tail and run back to our home waiting to be invaded. I just want to add an additional flame to the already combustive situation.

Bada: Huh? I don't get you sometimes...

Tangerine: There's no need...but there is something we need to do before we are officially kicked out from this place. Bada, i need you to arranged some things before our term expires.

Bada: How much time do we have left?

Tangerine: ...by right, an ex-Utopian senate will have at the very least a week to clear out their personal belongings and handling down documents before retiring.

Bada: That would be enough, depending on what do you want me to do...

Tangerine: I need you to contact Ishtar. Have her fleet ready and sailing in three days. I also need you to gather the rest of our espionage team at our usual meeting place tomorrow.

Bada: That's easy enough...anything else?

Tangerine: Yes...ask Nihja too update her report about the situation in Zelagross. it has been two days without anything from her.

Bada: ...(sigh)...I'll do that...

Tangerine: That's not all...i need the latest blueprint on the Utopian Arcane Library, complete with information on guards, sentries, book logs and drainage systems.

Bada: Sure...but where are you going? You just came back...

Tangerine: I am going to pay a visit to the Utopian Media Network.

Bada: What did you say?

Tangerine: A senate that was fired recently should made a good story for tomorrow's seven o'clock news isn't it? Besides...i am going to tell all of Utopia how upset i am about our Queen's decision to sacked me.

Bada: I can't see clearly where are we going by doing that...

Tangerine: ...propaganda's...

Bada: Pissing off the Queen in public will definitely sees and outcome of having the Royal security banging at our door...not to mention that your "Retirement News" facing heavy censorship.

Tangerine: the situation out there is falling apart. the Utopian people will find any reason to get their claws on the nobles skin. I'm just using the scenario to escalate the downfall of this nation.

Bada: I see...

Tangerine: ...anything else before i make my move Bada?

Bada: ...well it disturbs me how we lost our trail on her a week ago. I always have this fear that she will meddle into our plan and ruined it...i think we should put more manpower to the search.

Tangerine: ...as for now, our main objectives are to destroy the Utopian Arcane Library, King Panthera's head and hunting down a Draconian that managed to find it's was into this dimension...

Bada: ...

Tangerine: ...as for Rose, you need not worry about her, they didn't call her "Flower of The Battlefield" for nothing, don't you think?

To Be Continued....

The Warning

...all this "War Business" is wearing me out. These people give me nothing but trouble...more trouble. Why can't they leave me alone? Why are people so upset about? Lord Flame should be able to handle things by himself...how i wish this war will end everything...

Queen Rasa: I need a rest...minutes felt like hours in the War Room. Why am i involved? Why can't Lord Mana see to the operation alone?  He is purposely ruining my day by forcing me to attend to his war lectures!

Tangerine: Good evening...

Queen Rasa: You...how on Utopia did you manage to slip past the guards and enter my quarters?

Tangerine: I saw no guards your highness...

Queen Rasa: Impossible...

Tangerine: It seems like the Utopian Federation Armed Forces are lacking in manpower that even the Queen's Royal Guards will also has to be mobilized in order to save the noble position in the Utopian society?

Queen Rasa: I have no such knowledge about such thing, such matter are for the likes of Lord Flame or Lord Mana to decide...

Tangerine: You are the queen, yet you toss your responsibilities around?

Queen Rasa: I never wanted this!

Tangerine: What a waste of power. The most powerful figure in one of the largest nation ever existed and yet....

Queen Rasa: Are you going to give me another lecture like the nobles did to me in the War Room? If you do, i demanded that you make your way out of here before i decided to call the security.

Tangerine: Such temper...

Queen Rasa: I am not in the mood right now.

Tangerine: So the rumors is true then...

Queen Rasa: Rumors...what rumors?

Tangerine: ...that the Utopian Armed Forces will mobilize and confront the rebel forces by force regardless of their current lack in strength and numbers.

Queen Rasa: We still had our technologies, the Utopian Colony States had been sending in volunteers to fill in the gap left behind by those traitorous commoners servicemen...

Tangerine: I heard that the volunteers are nothing more but a mere handful. Oh...there are some mercenaries as well. A very reliable force indeed. 

Queen Rasa: You are getting on my nerve Tangerine...what is it that you want?

Tangerine: Call off the assault on Lord Velther and his army of commoners...

Queen Rasa: No! The Utopian Senate has decided. The campaign will proceed!

Tangerine: You cannot win this war your highness...and even if you do win, the crisis is far from over.

Queen Rasa: We won't tolerate or submit to an army of slaves...

Tangerine: Those "army of slaves" are the pillar and backbone to the Utopian Federation prosperity. Your highness, the undivided contribution, their sacrifices...even King Panthera knows that...

Queen Rasa: My father knows nothing!

Tangerine: History had foretold itself over and over again that the commoner's are vital for the Utopian society. Labourers, soldiers, farmers and the likes are the task associated with the Utopian commoners...losing the commoner's support meaning a halt on any or all of these important elements.

Right now at the middle of the commoner's rebellion we already witnessed the shortage in our military servicemen as more and more commoner's joining Lord Velther's cause.

Queen Rasa: What do you expect me to do Tangerine? Kneel before them and begged for mercy? Never! By my rights and noble Utopian Noble blood...

Tangerine: Nobles are nothing but a mere tittle, and all the Utopian nobles did are nothing more than pressing their authorities over the commoners.

Queen Rasa: ...are you taking pity on the commoner's Tangerine?

Tangerine: All i am saying is that there are better solutions than war.

Queen Rasa: This war is unstoppable. I will fully support the Utopian Lords in their effort to bring back order and peace to this nation.

Tangerine: They are just using you your highness...

Queen Rasa: If that is true than so be it!

Tangerine: What..?

Queen Rasa: Even a stupid princess could see through such a rag tag plan. The moment Lord Flame proposed his intention of making me the queen, i knew...that my position on the throne was no more than to become a puppet ruler in my father's absences.

I am to weak of a ruler...the nobles used my authority to get whatever their jet black heart wished for; position, status and wealth...now they seek to do war.

Tangerine: You knew..yet you let yourself be used?

Queen Rasa: You think you can remedy the never ending conflict between the people? To convinced the nobles to just simply let go of their pride and embraced the commoners...or for a commoner to not take advantage of the nobles generosity and to dream to become as powerful as a true born noblemen himself, to change his or her fate and release them from the stigma of being a 'commoner".

Tangerine: I...

Queen Rasa: I may be weak, i may be used; i am the worst Utopian ruler ever to sit on this nation throne...but know this Tangerine, that i am not naive when it comes to overseeing this conflict.

You had served my father well, you had witnessed that in the peak of the rising tension between the Nobles and the commoners relations...he just simply turn tail and run. Leaving me, alone...to clean up the whole mess that he did!

Tangerine: That is not true...you must stop blaming the King for every...

Queen Rasa: ...the king robbed me of my freedom! I never wished for all this! To become queen...to be restrained...to be made as a tool for others!

Tangerine: That is why i am here to aide you in secret, as i served you father...

Queen Rasa: ...the very day when King Panthera vanishes, your service for the Utopian court dies along as well Tangerine. I, as present ruler and Queen of Utopia with all my power and decree announced too you that you are now dispelled from the Utopian Council Committee Member.

Tangerine: You have no idea what you are you are getting yourself into, your highness...

Queen Rasa: Go! Get out of my sight...or i shall summoned the guards!

Tangerine: ...for failing to convince you in finding a better solution to this crisis; for the consequences of ignoring my warnings that Utopia will be for worse, you have a stormy seas ahead of you my queen.

Farewell...

The Gathering

Alonqexe: Looks like someone beaten us to the Main Hall already...

Silver: I never expected to see this much of a crowd, yet alone joining the Utopian Federation cause in this internal war.

Lutherniel: Well the money's good...

Alonqexe: Maybe to good.

Lutherniel: What do you mean by that?

Alonqexe: Because i saw someone that by logic shouldn't poke his head into this political mess right now...Yuusuke!

Lutherniel: What?! That kid?

Yuusuke: Hey guys! What a sight for sore eyes....

Yuusuke: It seems like i beat you guys and came here at record speed. Never crossed my mind that the two of you would be interested in taking a job too big for amateurs like you both...hahaha!

Alonqexe: Heh...and you think you're more then up to it? Yuusuke, this whole thing...it's not as simple as the usual hit and run business like we always ran into. This is war. You don't treat war like a playground kiddo...

Yuusuke: Well we both can agree that they give good pay here...there's nothing Yuusuke the mercenary 'Rising Star" couldn't handle right. It will be easy in and easy out.

Alonqexe: Don't get so full of yourself now rookie...

Yuusuke: "Nothing ventured nothing gain" right? The pays enough to make me retire from this mercenary business for life. You must had similar concept in mind. Else, you won't show up here yourself.

Alonqexe: We don't have the same agenda Yuusuke...

Yusuuke: Whatever...i still can see money glittering in your eyes.

Alonqexe: Yuusuke...nevermind...

Silver: Who is that kid?

Lutherniel: He's our hometown hommies. Ditch school and started himself a mercenary career...a money driven fourteen year old kid.

Silver: You and Alonqexe sure sets a good example for young kids.

Lutherniel: Personally, seeing someone getting into this dirty business so young...

Silver: Sometimes there is limited choices in life.

Lutherniel: Not me girl...mine was my own making.

Silver: Tell me about it sometimes.

Lutherniel: I think about it later...

Lutherniel: Yuusuke and us used to be in one tea a long time ago. Doing "safe" mercenary work that didn't put our lives on the lines too much. After a while Yuusuke decided that playing safe won't earn him enough money so he decided to split and do some more extreme mercenary jobs...

Silver: Is money all that matters?

Lutherniel: Put yourself in his shoes, you will understand.

Silver: What happened?

Lutherniel: Yuusuke mom back home catch this horrible illness and required extra medical attention. Since they were only the two of them living together and Yuusuke still very much a kid to qualify for a proper job, he decided that the best way to save his mom is to ditch the books and getting involved in a fast cash money making jobs such as being a mercenary.

Silver: Was it that easy?

Lutherniel: Hell no ma'am...mercenary gets their cash from their reputations. The higher your reputation, the more job offer you're going to get. It's like a "Rock Star" thing where you need to build yourself a name and make yourself big. A debut...and he got his a year ago.

Silver: ...and that would be?

Lutherniel: Have you Avalon guys ever heard of the Deumann Massacre?

Silver: The Deumann Massacre incident occurs around 2 years ago. The case was still open up until now and the Deumann Colony Police are still hunting for the group that assassinated the entire Deumann Royal Family. I've heard that it was related to succession rivalry and since the whole incident was well plotted, the authorities believed that an outsider "kill-for-hire" was involved in....wait, don't tell me that...

Lutherniel: I think i spoke too much. Be careful, he is not your average kid...plus, he's desperate. He would do anything for his mom, even putting a knife in your back.

Silver: You really think that he would betray us?

Lutherniel: Mercenary is a double edged sword job ma'am. Never trust mercenaries. Not even me...(looking at Alonqexe)...not even us.

Silver: ...

Alonqexe: Yuusuke, what gives...you had all the richest wrapped around your fingers by now. You've been playing this dangerous game for quite some time now dude. retire while you still can, your mom needs you.

Yuusuke: My moms fine. I used my prized money to pay for all her medical expenses and as we speak...she is laying down comfortably in one of the best hospital care on this planet.

Alonqexe: So why are you still here playing with fire...you got what you dream of, settle down kid...don't waste your life you got miles to go...

Yuusuke: I was thinking of carving myself a name here. A major event that will catapulted my fame. Good marketing strategies eh? Imagine making it out in one piece from this stupid civil war, my reputation gonna skyrocket like crazy i might need to hire an operator to answer my phone and handle my clients....(laugh)

Alonqexe: I dunno man, from the way i see it...this war it ain't that simple lookin'.

Yuusuke: You guys are making money from baby-sitting...of course you cannot compare yourself to a pro like me. I've been living on the edge...it's a piece of cake.

Alonqexe: It's not baby-sitting kid. We just playing a safe cards so we could lived to see another sunshine. If it aren't for baby-sitters like us taking you in back then...

Lie L C: Is everything alright here?

Alonqexe: Yeah...we're alright...no problems...and you are...

Yuusuke: Ah...where are my manners...i was getting carried away with my conversation with my old buddy here i forgot to introduce you. Alonqexe, this is Captain Lie L C of the Utopian Federation Air Force.

Alonqexe: Captain. It's an honor...

Lie L C: Welcome aboard. You're the third mercenary group responded to our offer.

Alonqexe: I take it that Yuusuke here was the first?

Lie L C: No. He is not. That guy is...

Alonqexe: Is that guy even human?

Yuusuke: Beats me. He just stand there at one corner and kept quiet.

Lie L C: Maybe not the socialize type like you both...i read his database and identifications...not much except for his name: Reppu.

Alonqexe: never heard of him...

Yuusuke: Me neither. Self proclaimed mercenary?

Lie L C: I did a scan on the Utopian Federation and tapped into the Global Investigation Archives database...so far it seems that he's OK with the law.

...Our conversation was interrupted by the arrival of the Utopian Federation Council. The discussion that had been held in the War Room had reached a conclusion...it's time to hear the results. I pray that this will be an "easy" war, but history always prove this statement wrong.

War is...sorrow, carnage, massacre, fear...there would never be any glory. If we ever walked out alive from this fight, i believe that there would only be one word to describe it all...

...regrets...

Queen Rasa: Lord Mana, forgive me but i am exhausted from the council meeting back in the War Room. Could you carry on without me while i retire back to my chambers?

Lord Mana: Yes of course my queen. Forgive me if the long discussions had it's toll on your majesty's health, but these are important moments...and there are so many matters that needs to be arranged before we prepare ourselves for an assault on Lord Velther rebel forces.

Queen Rasa: That's alright Lord Mana. I just need a little rest.

Lord Mana: Worry not my queen. Leave it to me.

Queen Rasa: Thank You.

Lord Flame: My Queen...allow me to escort you back to your chambers.

Queen Rasa: Thank you Lord Flame.

Lord Mana: Words cannot expressed my gratitude for every one of you that had come and answered to our call for help. Be whatever your interest are...i hope that we cooperate as one and paved our road to victory against the rebels that mercilessly harassing the peace and prosperity of this Utopian Nation.

You all have come from far and wide...and now you are risking your life for this country's sake. If you seek honor and glory, i will bestowed it onto your shoulders; if its wealth and power that you hoped for then i will promised you personally...that you will be well rewarded; if it's all for justice and your undivided loyalty to protect the weak and preserve the peace of this nation...the heart of a volunteer, then i pray that God would blessed you for all your kindness.

Lord Armdagger will brief you on your roles and mission during our assault at Zelagross. I have to address the matter to whatever left of the Utopian Military Forces. Excuse me...

Lord Armdagger: Leave it to me Lord Mana. Time is the essence for this plan to succeed.

Lord Mana: ...and we need every single second of it. I'm counting on you Lord Armdagger.

Lord Armdagger: Strike while the iron is hot my friend...victory and so much more awaits you Lord Mana.

Lord Mana: See you at the battlefield. Captain Lie L C, please come with me to the flagship Hammerhead and gather our troops there for debriefing...

Lie L C: Yes, my lord.

Yuusuke: See you around Lie L C...

Alonqexe: It's been a pleasure to meet you.

Lie L C: I can't thank you all enough for coming to our country's aide. I pray that we will emerge as the victor...and most importantly we all made it back here safely...

Yuusuke: If we ever get back, let's have a party and it's all on you...(laugh)

Lie L C: You are one to talk mercenary, if we ever made it alive you will be the richest bastard alive...

Lutherniel: (Laugh)...ouchie, that hurts!

Lie L C: I'll take my leave now. Goodbye...

Yuusuke: Good luck...and don't forget the party!

Alonqexe: You sure are as happy go lucky guy like you used to be Yuusuke...
