The Eizen Armada had plunged forth, beginning operation "Shira's Vengeance." the plan was simple, use superior numbers and strength in concentrated hit and run attacks, effectively killing off Stellar Circle's military until it could no longer function. With the superior numbers Eizen could maintain an offensive and defensive front while Stellar Circle was limitied to their homefront.
Azure looked out over the stars aboard the soon to be retired flagship. Zanarkand was still a powerful ship and would still serve in an entirely defensive role for the Capital but she would be replaced by the soon to be finished Neo Zanarkand and Azure knew that a more terrifying ship had never before been developed.
"Sir", the flag officer spoke, breaking a long silence during the final minutes of the joirney to Stellar Circle's territory. During the travel time, Azure had amassed his combined fleets as his father had ordered, the formations were already set, allowing the three command ships to have their ideal firing arcs so that the most damage could be done with a powerful alpha strike. "We have reached the Point of No Return, all ships are commencing operations."
"Good," The crown prince said, "until the action begins I want status reports every fifteen minutes. From this point on all ships are at full combat alert."
The swarm of Eizen vessels cut their way across the dark matter void. Azure had not even recieved his first staus report when Klaxons began to wail and the bridge began to bustle with activity.
"Enemy defensive position located. An estimated twenty five capital ships with various support craft in vector Two-Zero-Four of Zanarkand."
Azure scoffed, this was a conflict far beneath the capabilities of his fleet. However, his father's orders stood to wipe out Stellar circle piece by piece.
"Begin the attack. Take no prisoners, meet all surrenders with lethal force. After we are finished here we will move onto the next location."
Azure sat in the command chair and brought up a tactical display feed at his monitor. It was not a grand fashion, but it had indeed begun.
meanwhile, back in the Capital city of Supreme Horizon.
"Milord, Operation Shira's Vengeance has commenced and the fleet is about to engage the enemy." An aide said. Emperor Eizen turned his head slightly, the shield mask hiding his expressions from the attendant. He did not want to be disturbed and although he ordered the status reports brought to him as they arrived he couldn't help but want to ignore them. He placed a gloved hand up to the glass that separated him from the intensive care room where his daughter clung to life by a a hair. The doctors were doing what they can to stabilize her and to her credit she had remained alive.
The Emperor looked at his arm, he had given a substntial amount of blood in order to aid in the process. Normally blood would not be an issue, but with Eizen's Draconian heritage came a price. Pure Human blood would not do for he nor his children.
The aide turned away, realizing the Emperor's unspoken wish to be alone. the only ones right now who could comfort him were his Empresses and they were unavailible. First EMpress Milyssa remained isolated in her Citadel Chambers overstricken with intense grief from her daughter's condition and her son being sent off to war. Second Empress Ashlay was being treated on another floor of the same hospital to ensure that the attack did not complicate her advanced pregnancy. If the child suffered any sort of injury it would have to be detected soon in order to save this heir of the Empire.
One of the doctors emerged from the room and bowed to his Majesty.
"Majesty, there is something I must know, has the Crown Prince left for battle yet?"
"He has already begun engaging the enemy, aswe speak my daughter is being avenged and I will be departing within days in order to ensure that the retribution is complete."
"Oh, your Majesty I would suggest contacting him as soon as possible and replacing him with one of your field commanders."
Eizen lashed forward with a glove dfist, holding the doctor by his throat and lifting him off the ground.
"My son is an excellent commander, although he lacks maturity he is skilled enough to earn my faith and his desire to avenge his sister has earned him the right to command without judgement!"
The doctor began to gasp rantically, wanting to loosen the grip but not further provoke the angered Emperor
"That...not..what I meant sire..it's about...the Princess"
Eizen dropped the doctor to the ground and drew a sword.
"Explain yourself."
The doctor coughed faintly a few times, regaining his poise as air returned to his lungs. "Sire, your daughter is of a very rare heritage. while you inherited 1/4 Draconian blood from your bather and mother, she inherited a 1/8 mixture from you and the Empress. We know we can save her but we don't have enough blood right now for the operation and her weakened body isn't producing enough for us to extract in order to save her. the only way she will live, is with blood from the only other 1/8 Draconian in the world at this time."
Eizen sheathed the blade, "The Crown Prince..."
Thw doctor was relieved, his majesty's wisdom had kicked in. "Exactly, we need the Crown Prince's blood. Fortunately your daughter is an AB blood type and should be able to recieve from Azure regardless. But we need to get him here as soon as possible, Should your daughter's condition deteriorate much further we will have to begin the operation, regardless of wether or not we have the necessary blood.
Eizen began storming out of the corridor. "Then you shall have it doctor, and when I find my brother I shall have his then as payment."
