Suikotsu had his mission and the rest of the Band of Seven had theirs.

They would take controle of the Abh Capital. But they would need help doing it.

They were heading for a Abh Controled world that was known for its anti Abh mindset and being very pro United Mankind.

The Band of Sevens Battleship entered Abh Space cloaked.

They beamed down to the World right into a town hall type meeting tho on a larger scall.

Bankotsu spoke " I am sure you know who we are. The Band of Seven......We come to offer you a chance for what you want the most....To bring down Abh controle!!"

OOC:Bump

The gathering there were at first shocked to see the Band of Seven but eventually the spokesman found heart... "Yes we are tired of being enslaved by machines. What is it that you will have us do?"

There were those in the crowd that liked Abh rule though... "There is nothing wrong with the Abh. Our nation has prospered from being in the Empire and we have even more freedoms than we did with the United Mankind."

Argues broke out but eventually the Abh supporters were forced out of the meeting hall with more than half of the attendants still there and waiting for the Band of Seven to speak.

Bankotsu spoke " We will free you from their rule but we need your help. We need your help in takeing the Capital there we will take the Royal Familys and Empress hostage. We will rule the Abh and in return for your aid we will free you and others who wish to be independent."

Renkotsu smiled " We will crush the Abh for you. Bankotsu will then become the new Abh Emperor and make some strict reforms."

Bankotsu spoke agian. " We will hide our battleship while cloaked under one of your transports. That will be carrying what the Abh think is diplomates. Once you dock you storm in and we will beam in as well. We capture all Abh Nobles on the Station and bring them to the throne room. Then you just have to secure the area for us."

A unified resounding cheer went up through the town hall conference. Plans were quickly made for a merchant ship to arrive and take the rebels to the Capital. The Abh crew would be overpowered and taken off the ship. They would doc in the merchant sector and over power the royal guards securing the way for the Band of Seven.
-------------------------------------
3 days later, the merchant ship arrived. The Abh crew was over powered and inprisoned out of town to avoid any wrath from the Empire or punishment in Abh hell. The merchant ship was inbound for the capital with an arsenal of weapons and about 25 men.

The Band of Sevens battleship stayed near the hull of the mercent ship while cloaked.

The members readyed them selfs for a fun fight. Renkotsu and Ginkotsu were studying the plans of the Capital while Jakotsu and Bankotsu layed around resting.

The merchant ship arrived at the capital with the Band of Seven cloaked underneath the hull. They haled the tower requesting permission to land in the capital.

Group leader: "This is the merchant ship Kraut requesting permission to land in the merchant sector to set up sale for goods recovered."

They were informed to standby as their ships was scanned. The cloaked ship was undetected and they were instructed to land.

Once the ship landed, the rebels brought out their stored weapons and waited outside for the Band of Seven.

Bankotsu,Renkotsu,Ginkotsu and Jakotsu beamed into the docking area.

Bankotsu and Jakotsu sat on the large new Seige Tank type body of Ginkotsu.

Renkotsu stood on the back ready to fire the Seige Disrupter Cannons.

Bankotsu smiled as Ginkotsus Tank like body tore threw the area crushing anyone who was infront of him and pulled under the crawlers. Some were cut down by the Buzz Saw Wheels.

Bankotsu yelled as they set corse to cut threw the most populated areas to the throne room.

" NOW MY HUMAN BROTHERS KILL ALL THE ABH WHO DONT BOW TO US!!"

Renkotsu fired the Disrupter Cannons at a bulkhead to signal the rest of the city their doom is near.

Abh security services sent out an emergency signal to the only force powerful enough in the area to stop the Band of Seven.

The signal was later received at the Yevon temple that Doron was staying at. He informed Maysteur Seymour of his need to go and asked for his blessings.
----------------------
Most of the Abh people avoided the band at all when possible. Some small defenses were placed at junction points to try and deter them from gaining access to the throne room.

As fighting broke out all over, news broadcasts came on informing people that a new mysterious being commonly known as Betterman has been spotted on a few planets in the Abh Empire. More news would be reported later.

Ginkotsu fired his Disrupter Cannons at the Abh defenders. As the others sat on his body as it rolled threw the areas on its path to the throne room.

As they passed buildings Renkotsu used his fire cannon to luanch fire balls at buildings setting them on fire.

Bankotsu kept the others from killing any kids.

After a short roll threw the populated areas The Band of Seven broke threw into the throne room.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seymour noded " Yevon will bless you and give you the power you need in this battle. I will speak with you agian soon."

Empress Ramaaj stood there unarmed as the Band entered. Only about 5 Royal Guards were there with body armor and rifles. Mobile Suits were on there way to set up guard. ETA was 4 minutes.

The news went on in the back ground... "We have discovered 3 forms of Betterman; Nebula, Aqua, and Forte. He appears to a friend of the Empire and military officials are hoping to make contact with him and his allies..."

Ramaaj stood at her throne... "What is it that you want?"
--------------------------------------
Doron arrived in his fighter and sent a signal demanding to be lent in. The door was opened a second later and he landed his fighter.

Doron jumped out and ran straight for the throne room. He grabbed both light sabers and gathered as many soldiers in his wake as he could find.

He arrived at the throne room a couple of minutes later. He looked over at Jankotsu and gave an evil smile... "I'm hurt. I didn't even get a goodbye kiss last time."

Bankotsu walks up to Ramaaj and smiles " Consider you self replaced."

He sat down on the Throne and had Renkotsu send a video communcation to the Abh News Network.

Bankotsu smiled " As of now.....I am the new Emperor of the Humankind Empire Abh. There will be some changes. One of whitch will be the the creation of a Independent Nation that will be made up of all worlds in the Empire. The abh will only rule Space nothing more. And all Abh will be forced to sign a paper stateing they are nothing more then Machines and Humans are their Gods. As Humans created the first Abh they are indeed your creators. And one last thing the Blue hair has to go."

He laughed along with the rest of the Band of Seven as the transmission ended.

Jakotsu then looked to doron " I Never was one to be good at goodbyes."

He draws his sword as Renkotsu and Ginkotsu ready to attack too.

Doron strode in confidently "I'm afraid to say that you have no claim to this throne. If you want it, you'll have to go threw me first. I am so glad you brought a video camera though. Now the whole Empire and universe can watch as I put an end to your pitiful band."

Doron flicked his wrists bringing his light sabers up and crossing in front of him. "He shall we video tape dying first?"

Bankotsu laughs " You were not much fun the first time we fought. If it hadnt been for Yoko's damn seed you would be dead now. So i will let the others kill you this time."

Ginkotsu and Renkotsu begian to walk forword as Ginkotsu starts to aim the disrupter cannons.

" Grsh!"

But Jakotsu walked past them and smiles. " No he is mine and this time i will fight him alone."

Bankotsu nods " Then its settled Renkotsu..Ginkotsu stand back and let Jakotsu kill this worm."

Jakotsu smiles " Thanks big brother."

Jakotsu draws his whip like sword and looks at Doron. " This time it is to the end agreed?"

Doron smiled "Agreed. I suppose this means that we are breaking up..."

And with that he rushes in, not giving Jankotsu to gain momentum with his sword whip. He dove straight out at him with both light sabers extended aiming for his heart.

Jakotsu was taken some what off guard by the attack. He jumped to the side barly in time. Once he did he unleashed his swords whip attack. Hopeing to stop doron from swinging to his side.

Doron swung his saber out to the side but only caught Jankotsu's whip which caused him to flip and land in a crouch on his two feet.

Doron stood up and squared off with Jankotsu. He flipped his light sabers to so that they would be paralleling the back of his arms.

He then gave a half speed charge.

Jakotsu also gave a half speed charge at Doron. He held his sword back ready to unleash his attack at any moment. He would let Doron make the first move to see what the Sith had in mind.

Meanwhile Bankotsu sat on the throne " Man its so boring when i cant fight... there has to be somthing to pass the time these two could be at it for hours."

Doron shot off as fast as he could and at the last second jumped off to the side opposite the arm the sword-whip was in. As he past he extended his saber trying to score a hit on Jakotsu's side.

At about that time, 5 mobile suits entered the throne room with a contigent of Terran officers. They linked up with the Abh that Doron collected in his wake and advanced on Bankotsu.

Jakotsu threw his sword arm up sending the whip attack at the roof. But in doing so he took a deep cut on his side.

However the whip attack bounced off the roof and was going right for dorons left eye.

Meanwhile Bankotsu looked at the Abh forces advanceing on him. He pulls out two jewl shards and pushs them into his sword repairing it and makeing it more powerful.

He stands up and looks at the empress. " I see your forces doubt my power. Then their deaths are no ones fualt but their own stupidity."

Ramaj stood tall and proud "They don't fight because they know they can win. They fight because this is our home and it is worth dying for. That is something you will never understand."

Doron took the cut on his face but managed to keep his eye intact. He was left with a deep cut across his eye socket, a scar he would carry the rest of his days.

Doron rolled and pivoted. He shot straight out at Jakotsu's back.

The Latchkue finally docked into port. Admiral Spoor jumped off and onto the landing port. She ran straight for the throne room with a contigent of troopers that were on board her ship. They killed off any of the rebels that got in their way. When she finally got to the throne room, she announced that she would be taking charge of the defense. She ordered the mobile suits forward as shields for the infantry. Marksmen were placed in concealed locations. Heavy guns were set up behind fortifications. All other infantry made a stand wherever they could find cover. Spoor took her usual stance, front and center.

Jakotsu barly jumped away in time befor takeing a death blow from Doron. He jumped beside Ginkotsu.

" Time for a break doron its getting too crowded in here. Hey Bankotsu why dont you clear some room for us to fight?"

Bankotsu smiled " Sure... Ginkotsu and Rinkotsu take the mobile suits i will deal with the rest."

Ginkotsu started to roll forword as Rinkotsu was on the back of Ginkotsus tank body.

Ginkotsu aimed his disrupter cannons and fired at the mobile suits " Grsh"

Rinkotsu tho smiled as he drank some fuel and spit flames right at the Empress.

Bankotsu was slowly spining his sword above his head walking right for the middle of the defensive line.

" My my you are brave. Your one hell of a race i will give you that. Sadly we are more then you can handle and this isnt persional. Know that your familys wont be harmed if they dont fight back."

He spinned his sword faster and faster and some would start to see storm clouds gathering in the throne room and indeed in space.....tho how was unknown yet...

Ramaj ducked out of the way of the flames but managed to get cinged a bit.

Spoor flipped her long blue braid behind her back and narrowed her red eyes. "All troops open FIRE!" Spoor started firing straight at Bankotsu. One mobile suit was completely destroyed by Ginkotsu's cannon. Another rushed in with a beam blade trying to cut the two in half.

Marksmen fired from pillars trying to take headshots. Heavy guns open fired on Ginkotsu, trying to slow him down.

Doron yelled at Jakotsu "Oh no you don't! We aren't finished yet." Doron jumped up and landed nimbly on the head of the throne. Bringing both light sabers to cross in front of his chest.

The Band of Seven took a massive beating and then they went slilent when Bankotsu took a shot to the head. He fell down motionless.

Ginkotsu and Renkotsu were very beat up.

Jakotsu smiles " Oh now you have done it."

Bankotsu opened his eyes agian. " well well looks like you have some fight."

a strange light appeared around the Band of Seven. The Souls of the childrain they absorbed entered their bodys healing them and increasing their powers.

Bankotsu jumps to his feet and spins his sword agian untell he yells " Dragon Thunder!"

Lightning came down hitting random areas some missed and others hit dead on.

Ginkotsu fired his disrupter cannons agian as Renkotsu spit his fire at the abh

Meanwhile Jakotsu smiles "now i am ready to go all out on you."

Doron smiled evilly "Give me your best shot"

The remaining mobile suits formed ranks to provide some cover. The one that was destroyed by the disrupter was overturned and used as a barricade to fire behind. One suit lost all mobile capabilities when hit by the lightening but was still able to fire it's railgun.

A few terran soldiers were incinerated by the fires. Spoor stood up after being too close to one of the thunder blasts, strands of hair sticking out a bit. "Take cover and keep fighting!" She was beginnig to admire Bankotsu and thought of him as a worthy foe but this was home afterall and she wouldn't let them harm it.

Jakotsu grins " I will indeed"

Jakotsu moves fast back and forth slowly getting closer to Doron. He unleashs his swords whip attack missing doron but hitting the wall behind him head back for his feet.

Bankotsu advanced on the Abh line useing his sword for some cover. Any Abh who came close to him he cut in half. Then he jumped into the air trying to slice a mobile suit in half.

Meanwhile Ginkotsu kept up his disrupter fire. The sound of bullets and laster hitting his armor filled the room. Renkotsu stood at the back fireing the Disrupter Cannons for Ginkotsu.

Doron waited until the last possible moment before he leaped off of the chair as the whip crashed through the head of it. He leaped and flipped over Jakotsu and as he came down, Doron brought both light sabers on each of Jakotsu's shoulders. Hoping to cut him into three pieces.

The Abh stayed well out of the way of Bankotsu and his giant sword. The mobile suit managed to get an arm up to block before it was chopped off. Spoor ran to get behing Bankotsu and started firing into his back.

A couple of thermal detonators were thrown at Ginkotsu's feet, hoping to bring him to a stand still. Firefighters were brought into quel the fires that sprung up. As more rubble was created, it was piled up into a bottle neck formation to restrict the Band's movements.

Jakotsu stayed still as the the attack he threw came back at him and past his shoulder heading for Dorons left arm. He jump frowrd then but was burned by the lightsaber on his neck. He only hoped his attack hit its mark

Bankotsu turned and smiled " Such weak toys wont work on me."

He swung his blade realseing his version of the windscar on her.

One of Ginkotsus front crawlers was blow off by the explosions. Forceing him to use the two gaint saw blade wheels more.

This slowed him down but also made a deadly weapon. Renkotsu waited for his chance to do the most damage.

The blade barely missed Doron as he finished his decent. The blade cut a deep line over his shoulder and down his back. Blood started flowing freely from the wound. His cloak became drenched with it. He turned his right light saber on the cuts to burn them so the blood flow would stop. He calmly stood on the flat part of Jakotsu's whip to keep it from moving and started slowly stalking in.

Spoor dove out of the way of the attack but the force of the blast still managed to catch her and flung her across the room. She hit the wall and crumpled to the floor dazed and unable to stand.

Abh forces started focusing their attacks on Ginkotsu's saw wheels while mobile suits brought in shields to protect themselves from Renkotsu's fire.

Jakotsu tried to to get his sword to recoil but doron was lucky enough that the sword had jammed. Jakotsu would have to bring the sword back at a full power recoil. He hoped it would be fast enough to hit doron and end the fight. His life counted on it. If doron jumped Jakotsu would have almost no chance of dodgeing the recoil.

Meanwhile Bankotsu slowly walked to spoor grabing her by the throat he lifted her into the air. " The mighty Admiral Spoor...not so stroung after all"

Ginkotsu's wheels took the blows as his disrupter cannons kept up their fire.

Renkotsu begian to throw fire bombs into the heart of abh ranks. But seeing this was takeing to long he had a idea to force the Abh to give their lives up.

" Ginkotsu aim for the shelters kill the people in them now."

Ginkotsu adjusted his power to shot threw the walls and head for the shelters and buildings with people in them " Grsh"

Renkotsu smiles " Die you worthless abh" He fired Ginkotsu's disrupters over and over at the buildings hopeing to forced the Abh to make a foolish charge at them.

Doron started to feel the sword move underneath him as the sword began to recoil. He started running faster until the sword tip was about to pierce his back. With a great leap and the aid of the force, Doron leaped several feet in the air and brought his light sabers to bare going for a double saber drop.

Spoor's eyes oriented herself and managed to look into Bankotsu's eyes and smile while blood ran out of the corner of her mouth "I haven't even begun to fight." She brought the muzzle of her rifle underneath Bankotsu's chin "Your move." She smiled evilly and gave a wink.

Several Abhs were killed in the fire. There were only two mobile suits left and the ranks were thinning fast. The Abh were forced out into the open with their barracades being targeted. Some charged Renkotsu trying to at least put an end to all the flames. Others ran in front of Ginkotsu, shoving debree into his cannon trying to make it explode.

As the sword recoiled Jakotsu knew he couldt dodge. He unleashed one last ditch attack heading right for Dorons heart. Hope to atleast take him down with him.

Bankotsu smiles " I thought we went threw this already your weapons are useless agianst me."

Renkotsu seeing the trick yelled at Ginkotsu " Do not fire.... if you do it will be over."

Renkotsu jumped on to Ginkotsus back and threw wires from his fingers around nearby abh seting it and them on fire.

Doron couldn't completely dodge the whip attack. In a desperate hope to avoid a critical hit, Doron slapped his light saber at the whip. The attack missed his heart but drove through his shoulder and out the other side. Doron fell with the whip and crumpled to the floor motionless.

Spoor's smile turned into a snarl as she pulled the trigger of her rifle.

The Abh that got caught by the wires died horrible deathes. Ear bleeding screams filled the air but still more Abhs charged the platform trying to bring them down.

Jakotsu smiled as he looked down. A lightsaber had peirced his chest.

" Well doron it seems you won...." He fell to the ground laying there

Bankotsu slamed spoor into the wall as he looked up then looked back down. " That almost hurt"

He then looked and saw Jakotsu and ran to him " Jakotsu!?"

Jakotsu slowly looked at Bankotsu and smiled " I have no regreats. I died in a great battle. The way i wanted to die. Its up to you and the others to insure The Band of Seven wins its war."

Bankotsu nods as a tear rolls from his eye as Jakotsu's eyes close and his body turns back to bones. He grabed the jewl shard and threw it to Renkotsu.

Renkotsu put it into his body increasing his body. Bankotsu then turned to doron his energy growing with his anger. " You!!"

Doron pulled himself off of Jakotsu's whip. Pain exploded throughout his shoulder and he almost went unconcious from it all. He saw Bankotsu coming his away and with a great effort, freed himself from the rest of the whip-sword. Blood started gushing from the open wound and he almost went blind with pain. His left eye swollen shut and his right arm was completely useless at that point, Doron stood there with one light saber in his hand and gritted his teeth.

Spoor saw Bankotsu walking away from her. "Oh I am far from done with you." Her shoulder was dislocated and there were more than a few ribs broken but she still managed to reach back into her pack to fetch a thermal detenator. Spoor rolled it because the pain was unbearable and just hoped it would get close to Bankotsu.

Bankotsu turned his eyes filled with anger over his friends death. He grabed the thermal detenator with enough speed to throw it right at the empress. " You took my friend from me now i take your loved one away" The speed he threw it would be enough to even go threw the skin of most humanoids.

Ginkotsu turned and begian a full charge at spoor his saw wheels turning at full speed. " Grsh!!"

Renkotsu only smiled as he was hopeing for a bloody scean.

The detenator went through the Empress's shoulder and exploded behind her, throwing her against a wall. She crumbled to the floor and layed there very still.

Spoor's strenght had left her and she couldn't move.

Doron saw Spoor's predictament and was looking for a way to get to her. Doron jumped up onto the head of the throne and then leaped off. He then leaped off of Bankotsu trying to get to Spoor in time.

Bankotsu turned and readyed to unleash his most powerful attack to finnish spoor and doron off. But befor he attacked he thought of Jakotsu and knew he would want the terms of the fight honored. He slowed his weapon and sighed

" Ginkotsu....Renkotsu stop your attack......we are leaveing"

He rest his sword on his right shoulder as he slowly starts to talk out of the throne room.

Renkotsu grabs Jakotsu's weapon and left on Ginkotsu somewhat mad he knew the Abh were almost beat.

Doron and Spoor both collapsed together and fell into unconciousness.

Medical teams rushed into the throne room collecting the dead and administering first aid. Emergency services came to put out spotty fires and clear up the wreckage.

Empress Ramaaj walked over to the camera that was left behind by the Band of Seven. She interrupted the news of the ultimate form of Betterman being discovered. She held the flow of blood off with her hand and tried to make herself look presentable. "As the 17th Emperor of the Humankind Abh Empire, I hereby step down from the throne. The title of Emperor now passes to Lord Dusanyu. Since Princess Lafiel has taken herself out of the line of succession, her son Doron is now next in line should anything happen to the new Emperor Dusanyu."

As The Band of Sevens battleship left the abh capital Maester Seymour watched and smiled as Doron was named next in line.

" Seems the Band of Seven were of use to us after all" He said has he drank some tea.
