Saitonia's Retribution The Final Arc: Episode 10: The Ex Vaisallian King

(Next day, early afternoon, a wanted screen for Sai, more specifically, his 2026 version, appears on a large, electronic billboard in the middle of a city square in [b]Paladuras[/b]. His price is labeled: "????? [b]zepiks[/b]", but it's clear he'll be a crazily high price. Perhaps [b]Liomage[/b]'s High Council are warning the public of the impending invasion of the Saitorealm, so they convinced a manufacturing company to create this wanted screen as a billboard to remind [b]Saitranovia[/b] of an inevitable threat. If so, then the plan has worked, as civilians, on foot, or in vehicles, gaze up at the billboard as they pass on.) *[b]Taphitra[/b] is within the area, specifically by an alley, looking up at the billboard.* [b]Taphitra:[/b] Hmp. I hope he hates the SIU like I do. I will be joyous if his influence can lead to their disbanding. Therefore, my parents can rest easily. *There is one lone freelance hunter, a pure [b]Terranovian[/b] male with shiny, black, scene-like hair styled in a mullet, with a bang nearly covering his right eye, which both eyes are an icy blue. His outfit is a tactical cyber suit with black, dark blue, and gold colors. Light shoulder armor attached to a black hood, and a black pauldron with glowing gold lines on his right arm. He is sitting on some wide steps, attention also turned to this wanted screen billboard, which is to his left.* [b]???:[/b] This is the imminent evil of this planet? I've had to take out many high-scale evils solo, Saitonia will be another one on the list. Surely, everyone else looking to claim his bounty will most certainly fail, I however won't. _______________ [b][u]*Cliche--blam!- opening theme plays*[/u][/b] _______________ (Twins' safehouse. Aino is looking at Channel Starseek news on the TV while Sai is walking around, cator in hand, possibly texting someone.) [b]Ainotias:[/b] Hey brother, take a look at this guy. [b]Saitonia:[/b] *looking at Aino* Who? *The news displays a headline: [i]"Former [b]Vaisallon Regions[/b] Ruler [b]Molgorath[/b] expresses disapproval of Gladiatorial King Roman's rule[/i]". The camera is all the way at an underground yet prestigious area, located in [b]Vaisilithius[/b], which is actually a public residence of this [b]Molgorath[/b], who the camera is focused on as he's sitting on a cracked throne. He's very bulky, but it shouldn't be surprising since he's [b]Vaisallian[/b]. Outfitted in a heavy, black, red, burgundy, and gold futuristic gladiator armor, with silver shoulder armor, gauntlets, knee pads, and greaves, all with a unique, glowing red symbol. His face can't be seen instead covered by a silver, [b]Terranovian[/b] skull mask with red eyes, and 2 thick white horns at the top of the mask. He also wears a white fur cape.* [b]Molgorath:[/b] *in Greek* ([i]Roman does not know true [b]Vaisallian[/b] spirit. He only rambles about showing it to cover up his arrogance, his fragile ego. He's technically not supposed to be ruler, as candidates, under both king and queen positions are supposed to send a documented consensus to the Grandmaster Synedrion, which he never did, though your queen has, and Roman did have a thing for [b]Thesinia[/b] prior to them becoming king and queen. Roman just suddenly became ruler without a voting process, a battle, or a certified consensus. When the 2 families couldn't agree on electing 2 citizens for the respective statuses, the backup requirements were electing someone with sufficient credentials, which is dominating the VCO, and that which I did. I was a rarity in [b]Vaisallian[/b] ruler history. I innovated processes for [b]Vaisallian[/b] ruler and was scrutinized for it because some were just stuck in the past.[/i]) *clenching his fist as red energy emits* ([i]Roman, I declare you to take the throne legally. Sign the damn consensus, and the king will be decided by vote...or duel.[/i]) [b]Saitonia:[/b] *reacting to the subtitles* What? So, Roman claimed Gladiatorial King status illegally? [b]Ainotias:[/b] I guess that's the case. [b]Saitonia:[/b] This'll create a massive divide between this guy's followers and Roman's followers. So much so that they'll make the [b]Vaisallians[/b] forget about their feud with us. _____________ (A dull, run-down hideout in North [b]Dyphinix[/b], with Sev and his team, all seemingly waiting for something or someone.) [b]Katchikiya:[/b] So [b]Krojiak[/b] wanted to meet us back at the old spot? Surprised he's still making use of this wreck. [b]Quivaro:[/b] Better yet, who's this special someone he's bringing in? *The hideout door is kicked open, revealing [b]Krojiak[/b] throwing a battered up [b]Vaisallian[/b] man, who happens to be an informant under Roman's army, hitting a big table as he's being thrown.* [b]Severaes:[/b] Another over-the-top interrogation session. As expected from [b]Krojiak[/b]. [b]Krojiak:[/b] *rope made of dark blue energy gripping onto the informant while his signature knife is held to the back of his head* So your people have been fabricating DM notes to try and throw the trail to catching her off. Care to elaborate why? Are you working with her? [b]Vaisallian Informant:[/b] *unable to comprehend due to only knowing Greek* Eh, uhhh, IIIIII.... [b]Tomakoda:[/b] Should've at least captured one who can speak English. *to [b]Krojiak[/b]* Activate a language translator and hold it to his mouth. [b]Krojiak:[/b] Good idea, Toma. *activating a language translator on his cator, adjusting to English and Greek* Why are you forging notes as if they were actually written by the Deadnight Murderess herself? [b]Vaisallian Informant:[/b] *in Greek, speaking to the translator on the cator* ([i]I was told that it was just a baiting scheme; to rile up [b]Saitranovians[/b] so that their attention is off us.[/i]) [b]Tomakoda:[/b] *looking at the cator screen* So diverting focus. *presses the screen to switch the mode to English* How many notes have you fabricated so far? *switches mode to Greek* [b]Vaisallian Informant:[/b] ([i]I do not know. At best I could estimate is 8.[/i]) [b]Krojiak:[/b] I'm so tempted on killing this son-of-a-b[b]i[/b]tch. [b]Severaes:[/b] [b]Krojiak[/b], no! If we do, we'll be hell-hunted by Roman and the [b]Vaisallian[/b] government. [b]Quivaro:[/b] Gotta get rid of this dude in some way. [b]Katchikiya:[/b] How about we get him deported? Take his DATI (digitally authorized transport identification) away. Actually no, he'd be banned from other mainlands, too. Could be better off anyway. Any ideas, Toma? [b]Tomakoda:[/b] Turn him in to the police. [b]Krojiak:[/b] Saved me some energy I could've wasted dealing with this filth, Toma. _________________ (A bit later, a court case is in session with Amanda and the "crime" she was accused of. The interior looks minimalist yet chic, with a silver interior with lightly-glowing yellow accents. Amanda is sitting in the defendant's dock, which is usually much further away, but since it's evident that she's innocent, she's actually seated closer to the other sections, with one lone officer right behind her. Armed security guards guard the perimeter while Amanda's family, friends, and co-workers are also. The plaintiff seat is empty, and there is a male judge, donned in a black and golden robe and a mask.) *Amanda nervously looks over at her attorney, who is seated with her family, friends, and co-workers.* [b]Judge:[/b] Ms. [b]Inikorin[/b], the Tribunal has come to a conclusion. Your verdict has been confirmed....innocent. *A lighthearted bell tolls as the courtroom cheers. Those closest to Amanda walk over to her, overflowing her with hugs while overwhelmed with emotion herself, Amanda sinks her head into her mother's chest, restraining herself from crying. Her attorney remains seated, with a smug smirk on his face.* _________________ (Later, at a transport hangar at an airport in [b]Sakrisen[/b]. Transport hangars contain not just simple aircraft but teleportation pods, which more of them are being installed on Earth. The twins walk up to one.) [b]Ainotias:[/b] And I was thinking we'd have to fly all the way over to [b]Vaisallon Regions[/b]. [b]Saitonia:[/b] And waste energy? No, sis. *walking into the pod as Aino stands next to him* The future is the present. *Sai changes the transport location to [b]Vaisallon Regions[/b], specifically an airport in [b]Vaisilithius[/b], presses a black and blue button as they're on their way.* __________ (At the mansion, with the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, Cat, Kav, Van, Kyo, [b]Sakiro[/b], Anna, Alexa, and [b]Kaburo[/b].) [b]Kavita:[/b] Y'all heard the same thing on Roman? I remember the name [b]Molgorath[/b], and I knew he was the previous king, but the sovereign fuss went over my mind when Roman became king. *Kav's cator beeps. She picks it up, hearing the General's voice on the other end.* [b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]

    [b][i]*Continued Below*[/i][/b] [b]General:[/b] *from the cator* If it isn't our renowned alliance. Haven't heard from you in a while. [b]Kavita:[/b] Oh sh[b]i[/b]t. *raspy breather *General. How's it lately? Well, for the S.S. that is. [b]General:[/b] Pretty tame. No major missions carried out yet. We've just found a new member for Gamma Quartet, and now we're looking towards the commencement of advanced missions. [b]Kavita:[/b] Looking for some assistance? [b]General:[/b] Why not? We'll be carrying it out in the next hour or 2, so I'll give you the synopsis; ever since the PC resurfaced and this future Saitonia and this "Saitorealm" came to this timeline, some aliens have been planning their own secret little takeover, namely the [b]Aeliaus[/b]. A squadron of them is reported to be attempting to establish a foothold on a shipping dock in west [b]Sakrisen[/b], where they are evicting dockworkers away, sending convoys to secure the area. If you read any history on the [b]Aeliaus[/b], they want control over anything. [b]Kavita:[/b] Don't all 4 of them want to do that? [b]General:[/b] To certain extents. The Zaph likes to keep their territory and operations underground. The Siv tends to terraform more remote lands, though some might get a little too confident. The Triar are crafty survivalists, and the [b]Aeliaus[/b] love the concept of takeover. In other words, this mainland doesn't need a repeat of the 1995 [b]Calledon Aeliaus[/b] Crisis. [b]Kavita:[/b] Oh, yeah. *raspy exhale* I'll ask some of the crew, as they probably heard you. *The group collectively agrees on tagging along with the S.S. on the upcoming mission.* [b]Kavita:[/b] From my end, everyone seems to approve joining you with the quest, General. [b]General:[/b] Couldn't be more thankful. Catch you within an hour. *hangs up* [b]Kavita:[/b] You *choppy breather* heard that, right? [b]Sage:[/b] Looking to see some light work. [b]Kaburo:[/b] Well the S.S. got some extra numbers. Just how tough this little [b]Aeliaus[/b] squad gonna be? [b]Kavita:[/b] We'll see. ____________ (Sai and Aino have arrived at an airport within [b]Vaisilithius[/b] via teleportation circle.) [b]Saitonia:[/b] We're here. I can guarantee this [b]Molgorath[/b] is very damn powerful and well protected. Where you think he'd even be? Good thing the signs here also display an English translation. [b]Ainotias:[/b] I'd ask the locals, but they could probably smell [b]Saitranovian[/b] fetor on us. Hell, there's a family over there looking at us oddly. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Pay no mind, sis. Just nod and walk along. We'll come across him. ____________ (Back on [b]Saitranovia[/b], the team has arrived to the S.S. HQ., where the General, the Delta Trio, and the reformed Gamma Quartet are posted up in the lobby.) [b]General:[/b] You arrived. Amazing getting to work with you again. *Most of the group's attention is turned towards [b]Harvoride[/b], as he's obviously not recognized by anyone within other than the top S.S. members.* [b]General:[/b] *to [b]Harvoride[/b]* These guys are some...trusting associates of ours. [b]Harvoride:[/b] [b]Ryken Harvoride[/b]. Newest addition to the Gamma Quartet. *[b]Harvoride[/b] offers handshakes and fist bumps from the group.* [b]Kavita:[/b] *to the General* How much *raspy exhale* control this [b]Aeliaus[/b] squad got so far? [b]General:[/b] [b]Mizuri[/b]'s got a cloaked drone spying on the scene. So far, they've placed weapon caches, buggies, and small airships, and also a beacon to signal more [b]Aeliaus[/b] to come in so they can establish control. [b]Cathera:[/b] And let me guess; she's staying at the HQ? [b]Yaoni:[/b] *nods to Cat's question* Yeah. She's pretty good in combat. She just excels at being the surveyor. That, and her tech-savvy expertise has saved us in multiple missions. [b]Ashe:[/b] *to a random S.S. member* [b]Zino[/b], the ships ready? [b]Zino:[/b] *random male S.S. member, outside the hangar* Yes. [b]Tony:[/b] *to the team* Aight, y'all. Can't really say we have a numbers advantage, but we do got a strength advantage. Harv, I got good faith that you'll put bullets to [b]Aeliaus[/b] [b]a[/b]sses. Say the word, General. [b]General:[/b] On forth. ______________ (A bit later, in [b]Vaisallon[/b], the twins have entered a prestigious section on the coast of northeast [b]Vaisilithius[/b]; it looks like a fancy cavern, but it's actually an underground acropolis, bustling with civilians and private soldiers, clad in bulky, gray and red armor, wearing horned skull masks, walking around guarding the area, though a few soldiers maintain watch on the twins. The 2 walk around until they're met with a wide walkway leading down to a throne, also noticing a standoffish figure sitting right on that throne.) [b]Ainotias:[/b] I think that's him, brother. [b]Saitonia:[/b] It is. Unless it could be an imposter. Tread carefully. The soldiers armed with axes were eyeing us down back there. Hell, natives are walking along casually, but like you said before, they could smell [b]Saitranovian[/b] fetor. *The 2 proceed lightly down the walkway, eventually coming face-to-face with the prominent former [b]Vaisallian[/b] King; [b]Erodos Molgorath[/b].* [b]Saitonia:[/b] You must be [b]Molgorath[/b]. [b]Molgorath:[/b] *looking up upon hearing his name, responding in Greek* ([i]Who sent?[/i]) [b]Saitonia:[/b] Hm? English? [b]Molgorath:[/b] Heh, yeah. Who sent you? [b]Saitonia:[/b] [b]Saitranovians[/b]. *hears a group of soldiers draw their axes behind him and Aino, but doesn't budge, though is commanded to lower their defense by [b]Molgorath[/b]* I'm Saitonia, my twin sister is Ainotias. [b]Molgorath:[/b] Heard your name. Wait, don't you lead this organization from the future? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Not this version of me. The one ruling Saitorealm is from the future. We're from the Ancient [b]Arckyve[/b] Era, sent to this timeline by [b]Terranova[/b], whom I've killed. [b]Molgorath:[/b] Hmp, impressive. Doesn't scare me. [b]Saitonia:[/b] It was by sheer luck though, couldn't have done it without some assistance. [b]Molgorath:[/b] What do you really want? What made you come all the way here just to tell me some survival story? [b]Saitonia:[/b] It's Roman. We saw the broadcasting of your statement and challenge to him, and it appears we both have a common enemy. [b]Molgorath:[/b] Roman has as many enemies as he has followers. I would've assumed you came looking for a fight in his place. *[b]Molgorath[/b] slowly stands up, absolutely towering over the twins at a little over 7 feet tall and nearly 500 lbs. The twins are unfazed, especially when they've fought larger, much worse opponents.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Choose our enemies wisely. What poison from them are you willing to endure when the rivalry intensifies? [b]Molgorath:[/b] No poison from Roman will ever topple me. I'll still have humility and prosperity, and he will spiral in madness from his arrogance and egoism. [b]Saitonia:[/b] [b]Molgorath[/b], you must continue to spread this word of yours. This will make the citizens of all [b]Vaisallon[/b] outraged by Roman. And maybe then, they'll rally behind you to cut his reign as Gladiatorial King short, and you have a reign hard-earned and truly deserved. [b]Molgorath:[/b] I approve of that idea, [b]Saitranovian[/b]. Roman himself wouldn't accept any advice from a [b]Saitranovian[/b]. Unfortunately, it can't and won't happen so easily with how devoted a grand amount of [b]Vaisallians[/b] are to him. I will be waiting for his response. *The twins take one last look at [b]Molgorath[/b] before turning to each other and walking off.* ________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b]
