OOC: Several times I have restarted my nation, and it was just way to confusing. So that's why Bajria, the little troublemaker was given to me by another nation. But this is an official restart, nothing that happened before has happened. I will be posting a history of the Dracun Imperium (New). This is also going to be a allied searching thread.

IC: Lord Deathstryke walked through the pure black halls of the Palace of Death, the largest torture chamber ever in Dracun. It was quite the facility; every possible torture was given a room to be done in. Everything was black, except for the spots on the wall where blood had yet to be cleaned.

Lord Deathstryke had been given the task of managing the Palace of Death since its construction almost two years ago. Hundreds of people had been tortured in the chamber, maybe even beyond thousands. Every prisoner in the Imperium had been assigned according to Deathstryke’s liking.

The screams of those being tortured echoed the halls, terrifying all those who arrived. They were kept alive enough to be in tremendous pain, yet not die, which was hard so people did die a lot. Deathstryke hated every second of it. Every scream was a reminder to Deathstryke, that he did not rule Dracun.

He had been the chosen heir, not his brother Loki. Well now he was called "Bane the XXXIV" but still it didn't matter he was supposed to be the heir. But Loki had tricked him, told him he was signing a scroll that would officially name him the heir to his father but it had been a trick. Normally the tricky pages are in everywhere, so Deathstryke had read it over and over and it was alright so he signed it but Loki had glued a page to another, and when he showed it to his aging father his father had no choice but to name Loki the heir.

Loki however, was not popular with Dracun. He was nothing more then a brutal warlord. Most Emperors were warlords, and brutal but they at least knew how to manage a country, Loki didn't. He was a terrible ruler and many everywhere looked for Deathstryke to cause a revolt. Deathstryke turned a corner, and exited the immense "Death Palace." A limo suddenly stopped in front of him. The window rolled down, "Come inside." and the doors unlocked.

Deathstryke entered, thinking it'd be for the best. He would be very surprised with the results. The man in the car was Imperator Shimara, who hated Loki more then anyone and Loki made him keep the job just out of spite.

"Imperator what are you doing here?" Deathstryke asked, he was very suspicious.

"What do you think for a tea party? No, I'm here to convince you to take your brother's position."

"Wh-what?" Deathstryke said confused.

"You are going to revolt, you are loved by the Dracun people, they wanted you as the heir, not Loki and look at what Loki has done." Shimara said with a heavy sigh.

Deathstryke didn't need a second thought, "I'll do it but Loki has control over the military."

"True, but they hate him as much as I do. They obey me more then they obey Loki." He said and Deathstryke realized he want calling Loki, Bane or Dread lord.

"Why are you calling him Loki-"

Shimara cut him off, "Because he is not worthy of the title Bane, now are you with me or not?"

Deathstryke smiled, "Of course I am." The limo stopped outside Deathstryke's Palace.

"Good, I will pick you up tommorow. We have much work to do." And the car sped off into the night

The Next Day
Deathstryke awoke suddenly, he didn't know the reason but he just did. He turned and got out of bed and noticed his window was open, I didn't keep it open he thought. That's when he was grabbed from behind, a hand covering his mouth. This wasn't too bright considering that Deathstryke was a massive brute. He flipped the body over as three more attackers appeared, Deathstryke punched one, and threw the other but one got a shot off of something and he realized what it was, Dracun Saber Dart he thought as he fell into a deep and unwilling slumber.

Sometime later
Deathstryke awoke someplace he didn't know. He lifted his head to see himself in a mirror... but it wasn't him. His body was pale, and his entire body had skin cracks that made it look like he was a checker board. His eyes had gone from blue to a deep yellow, and he was bald. Wha-what's happened to me!

"Ah Lord Bane you rise."

"Bane... what are you talking about, what have you done to me!" He said recognizing the voice of the Imperator.

"Calm down Lord Bane. I address you as Lord Bane because you are our true Lord not Loki and we have made you into a monster, which is exactly what we needed and-" He was cut off as in one swift motion Deathstryke grabbed the throat of Shimara, "You turned me into a monster to suit your needs!"

"B-a-n---e Pl--ease" Shimara squeezed out. Bane let him fall to the ground, "Explain yourself!"

"Loki would not fear you as yourself, but as a demon he would scream. He was always afraid of demons as a child, afraid they would come for him. We did this so he would bow before you without fighting and end his reign. You must understand that even the great leaders of the world would tremble before your appearance." Shimara pleaded.

Deathstryke looked to the mirror, He's right... "You are forgiven Imperator, but enough when does this attack begin?"

Shimara had finally gained control of himself again, "I have prepared a squad of the most elite SILOs (Supreme Imperial Legionary Officers) out there. You will take twenty, infiltrate the Imperial Palace, and kill Loki."

"They had better be fine, I designed the palace defenses myself."

"We know that, which is why it will fall to you."

"You are a clever one Imperator, you will serve as my Imperator during my reign." Deathstryke was still looking into the mirror.

"Yes, Lord Bane."

Lord Bane... it has quite the ring to it

A few hours later
Bane, formely known as Deathstryke looked over the SILOs, he was not impressed. True each had been picked for his or her own special talent, but that didn't mean shit in a firefight. They looked like they disliked each other, which was common since most SILOs don't like others from different legions. They were fiercely loyal to their Commander, and that was something Bane would change. (OOC: I call him Bane now because he accepted becoming Bane) He turned to the Imperator, "You expect me to win with no co-operation between my troops?"

"They are to be nothing more then a diversion for you to make it to the palace. Now how would you like to enter the palace?"

This produced a laugh from Bane, "Simple... Apache helicopter."

"Wha-what?" The Imperator said suddenly confused.

"Were going to force our way in, it is the only way."

"But how will you get it past palace defenses?" The Imperator asked, he didn't like it one bit.

"An explosion will rock the gate, a car bomb. When it detonates we will be there and open fire with rockets into the palace walls. This will give us an opening and we will be able to move more quickly. Once inside we will make our way to the palace throne room. I will go through the halls with an escort of six. The other eleven will go through a escape route into the throne room. We will get there first, and if not they will wait for the commotion to start. Once the firefight starts, they will come in and disable the Loki, and then I will finish them." Bane sounded happy with himself as he explained the plan.

"Well devised my lord but what about the three other troops, you only are having seventeen going to the throne room what about the other three?" Shimara said scratching his chin.

"They will be driving a car bomb into the front gates."

"Excellent, when will it begin?"

"Right now..."

The Three Converted Apache Helicopters took off from the private military base owned by Shimara and went on its flight path. The Car continued forward, arriving at Imperial Center in no time (The Capital). The Helicopters followed far enough behind to just look like it was on patrol. When the car arrived it quickly drove to Imperial Square, where dozens of barricades would normally prevent such a thing from occurring, but things had been arranged, certain people replaced and so on.

The Car finally arrived at the palace gates, and the time bomb was set. The three SILOs jumped out and ran for cover as it exploded the gate, and sending debris everywhere. Bane's Apache and the other two followed closely behind, arriving just as the explosion rocked the ground. The Helicopter soared up arriving at at the targeted window, two rockets flew into the wall and the window, and the wall exploded. Seventeen Military Grade Spear guns fire into the wall on the other side of the hall, and they began a quick hang-crawl across it. They jumped down and split up, going to their designated tasks.


Bane and his six escorts ran through the halls, encountering little resistance since many had gone to investigate the car bomb. Though slowly the resistance increased and bane managed to literally crush the skull of two unsuspecting guards. Another one ran terrified at the sight of the monster appearance Bane had been transformed into. After several more encounters like that one, they reached the Imperial Doors and Bane slammed the wall down, using his incredible power given to him by genetic enhancements. Loki looked terrified at the sight of Bane, "I have come for my nation Loki!"

"Tak-take what you want! Just don't hurt me!"

A hidden panel slid open as the other eleven SILOs came through, disarming the royal guards. Bane walked over to Loki and picked him up by the arms, "Brother... it is too late for that." and threw him out the window, the window shattering, as Loki screamed like the pathetic coward he was.
Bane walked over to the throne and sat down, all present bowed before him, "I am Emperor Bane the Thirty 5th bow down before me!" He roared.
