OOC: This takes place a little after Yevon is beat and Sin is dead.

IC: Bankotsu sat on the throne reading reports and doing the normal things a Emperor dose. The Fuhrer Bradly still did most of the work but Bankotsu was becomeing more active. He atlast felt it was time for a offical Crowning. Even tho the Nation was still recovering from the Yevon Upriseing he would hold a party. Tho it would be a mostly Neo Zetan Lordship only event Some allied leaders would be allowed to witness the crowning of Bankotsu and his following speech.

Attention leaders of allied Nations of Neo Zeta you are here by invited to attend the Crowning of Bankotsu as Emperor of Neo Zeta.

However by request Bankotsu sent a message to Admiral Spoor.

Our Future Emperor Bankotsu wishs for you to attend this historic event. He wishs to make it known if you did not attend he would be very insulted and indeed possibley some what sad. He goses on to state that its rare for any women to get a chance to be liked by such a warrior as Bankotsu who could have his pick of girls.

OOC: Bankotsus Ego is as big as his halbard.

The United states would like to send a delgate to attend this crowning if its possible.

OC: And Spoor's pride is larger than Chronosia's empire.

IC:
Spoor had remained on hospital frigates for many days after their encounter with Mujo. She had taken some time off from Star Forces to remain in her territory which was a rare thing for Latopanyu to do. She had requested her Chief of Staff Cufadiss take some time off as well to pay him back for the help he gave while they were trapped. This was much to his dismay. If she wanted to pay him back, she could have left him on board the ship.

Nevertheless, Cufadiss found things for him to do and he was monitoring communications to her territory when one particular message came through that surprised him. An invitation to meet the new Emperor of Neo Zeta. Finally! A repreave from Spoor's constant interogating.

Spoor was currently at her beach house this particular day as she sat out on the patio watching the waves crash against the rocky shore. She wore a large brimmed hat, pink sunglasses, and a sun dress that stopped short at mid thigh and went up as a tube top. She sat there fanning herself as Cufadiss finally arrived from the main city.

Still adhering to protocol, Cufadiss saluted upon seeing Spoor and kept his eyes adverted incase he drew more remarks from the cunning woman. "Ma'am, there is a message I believe you should read."

Spoor took the message as her eyes scanned it from behind the glasses. The reaction was not exactly what he was hoping for. "What?! Does he honestly believe that the great Dutchess Spoor Latopanyu would sigh and faint because this pig headed no good...ERRRRR....well he has another thing coming!"

Cufadiss winced many times as Spoor became more and more upset. "Does that mean you will not be accepting the invitation?" He asked against all hope that she would still go.

Spoor sat there in her chair for a moment. "Hmmmmm. Send a message something along these lines..."

Cufadiss wrote it all down then looked back up. "Well I'll look after everything for you while you are away."

Spoor looked at him shocked. "My dear Chief, you are coming with me."

Cufadiss almost fainted.

To the Future Emperor Bankotsu,
Admiral Spoor has accepted your invitation and shall arrive in time for the meeting.

To The Fedral Union:

We welcome you and await your arrivel please bring only one small ship as we are still cleaning up from Yevons little upriseing. The event will start a day from now.

Bankotsu smiles as her read the message saying Spoor would be comeing. He would have been tempted to call off the entire event if she had turrned him down. He sent a message confirming the message was recived.

The Future Emperor Thanks you and awaits her arrivel in one day

The USS Charles F Addams slowly floated in the dark void of space its Inertia-less engines making a small rumbling noise as it glided in to darkness it was carrying president bastidas, it had just completed a long summit on sarvanna II .

On the ship..


Rob was sitting back on a chair looking around the bridge and looking at the commander, as the ship crew and command staff went about there business.

Rob said to the commander with a deep voice “commander order the ship to go in to neo zeta, set a course for there home world, the secretary of state already sent advance notice, I’m attending a ceremony there.”

The commander nodded and quickly looked to his helms officer who was already taping quickly on her glassy panel setting a course; the commander made a comment about the helms officer addressing his console saying “good incentive ensign”


The ship came to an abrupt stop and suddenly it rushed in to a pitch black portal its form twisting and stretching for an instant.

It was cursing through the null space worm hole nexus rather slowly, even though the ship could get there nearly instantly, it was deiced that the president and others needed time to prepare.

Starenell would like to send a representative, perhaps even First Prince Julian K'Tan will come.
OOC: He probably will if, we get in. I am bored and I am running out of people to send places.

oc: finally found the bloody thing. Well it at least gave me time to think of Spoor's outfit. http://www.nekoshin.gr.jp/images/spaurh/spaurh03.jpg

IC:
Spoor's flagship for her fleet exited the Sord that was near the Neo Zetan home planet. The telltale red ship, Latchkue, stopped shy of the planet's atmosphere and settled into a relaxed orbit.

Spoor crossed her shapely legs as she sighed. "This is far from elegant dear Chief. Go ahead and inform them that we have arrived."

Cufadiss just wished someone would shoot him. The last thing he ever wanted to do was go to another party with Spoor. He remembered the dedication of her memorial and that sent a visible shutter down his spine after remembering it. How someone would ever throw a party for their own grave site before they were dead was beyond him but it was apparently normal in the Spoor family. Why am I cursed with such rotten luck? "Yes ma'am. Sending message now."

This is the Latchkue to the Neo Zetan government. Admiral Spoor has arrived as promised and we are awaiting instructions.

"Chief, do you think this will unnerve the arrogant man?"

Cufadiss had been trying to not look at Spoor's apparel but he couldn't help but glance over there again. The outfit unnerved the young man himself. Why she wore the outfit was again beyond him but as long as they could keep their admiral busy, she was happy. He really couldn't think of an answer so just told her what she wanted to hear. "I believe it will."

Spoor shifted her legs this time crossing her left with her right. "Good."

In a completely unprecedented move of solidarity with the Empire's allies, Supreme Overlord Choka has deigned to personally attend the coronation ceremony. He will be escorted by a full fleet and will require housing for both himself and his personal bodyguard, in organic (wood will suffice) dwellings.

To Starenell:
The Future Emperor is glad you can send someone and hopes they have a safe trip to Bevelle.

Message to Talaax:
The Future Emperor is glad you can send someone and hopes they have a safe trip to Bevelle. We can arrange houseing in a wooden cabin outside of Bevelle. All machines will be removed from the houseing

Bankotsu himself read the Abh message and smiled I am glad you could make it. Please sand at Landing Padd 32 B-2

Half of the City was still in ruin and the rebuilding had just started. The diplomates would be kept in the good part of the city tho if they wish they can tour the destruction Yevon cuased to see first hand why their is a War Crimes trail in the works.

The medium sized 550 m ship busted out of a dark rip in space, the rip closing behind it immediately as it rumbled over the neo zetian home planet.

Its large turrets lay silent as it ominously hovered, a message was sent via DCFQ.

This is the USS Charles F Addams, we have a delegate on board and wish to know if we have clearance to beam down to the surface ..


Mean while rob was tidying up his three piece presidential suit his some what slightly muscled but still skinny body reflecting in a mirror the suit pressed and professional looking . he smiled slightly “prefect” he looked around awaiting the message to beam down .

(ooc: guys i may not be on tommrow to post so wite up ill either be on wensday or late tommrow night)

OOC: dont worry all that will be going on tommrow is prob chit chat not the crowning. Will rp to your ic post in a bit

"Well Chief it looks like we better get down there. Don't want to keep the future Emperor waiting."

"Yes Ma'am."

Spoor and Cufadiss walked to the shuttle bay of the large ship and the entire time, they manage to draw stares from the crew. Well the men that is. Most had taken a moment to peek their heads out of doorways to see what the Admiral was wearing. This did not go unnoticed to Spoor.

"Get back to work!"

Faces visibly blanched from the woman's ire and heads disappeared as fast as they had popped out.

Spoor and Cufadiss were soon in the Calicke heading down to Bevelle to meet Bankotsu. The ship headed straight for their assigned landing pad.

Bankotsu stood at the landing padd alone tho a man stood on the other side opposit where the shuttle doors would open. Bankotsu didnt have his Halbard with him this time he had no need for it. He looked as the ship touched down. He got his normal cocky grin when he knew somthing he liked was about to happen.

To The TFU ship:

Please beam down to transporter room D-1 in the Royal Palace.

Two long shapely legs in black nylons were the first to slid out of the shuttle with red high heels. Admiral Spoor stood up and flipped her long blue braid over her shoulder. Her short red skirt went to about mid thigh along with a form fitting business type top with a white blouse underneath. The top two buttons were undone. Her red eyes scanned the area finally settling on Bankotsu. She walked towards him in perfect style and grace with her high heels.

Cufadis on the other hand was much more plain with a simple white garment that went over his shoulders and was tied with a red sash while his military uniform could still be seen.

Bankotsu smiles at the sight of Spoor. He is some what taken off guard by her outfit. He took spoors hand and softly kissed it. He had been bored and had read up on old earth customs. He looked back up at her and said " Grand Dutchess Spoor it is good to see you agian and this time on much better terms."

Cufadiss could now by this time feel someone standing right behind him. The sound of sharpe metal grinding agianst each other as Suikotsus claw blades scraped his armor as he walked up to Cufadiss.

" Ah i see Cufadiss' escort is here. I hear you have a great intrest in cloneing and engianeering. Renkotsu is working on both at the moment i thought you might be intrested in seeing it. And dont worry neither will harm you." Bankotsu said

Renkotsu was known enough for how brutal he fought on the Abh Capital but when Cufadiss turns and sees Suikotsu he might miss a few heart beats. It was reported he killed Abh Youth during the battle with his blades and most died very slow and painfuly. But Bankotsu in a report early said he would try and insure Suikotsu wasnt so brutal to allies anymore.

A slight smiled tugged on Spoor's full red lips. "So you do have some class I see. I must admit that it is a switch talking with you instead of shooting you."

Cufadiss turned to see Suikotsu standing behind him. The poor man nearly jumped out of his skin. Why do I always get dragged into this stuff? "Uh y-yes I do. Members of my family run the artificial birth department to supply those with the equipment to people who cannot bare children. W-why do you ask?"

Bankotsu almost laughs " Dont get me wrong that was fun as well. But i thought it would be better to talk this time. If you come with me we can go to the ballroom if you wish" He said kinda hopeing she would rathering do somthing less boring. " Or if you want there are other activeitys to do here. Such as dualing, Battle Simulations or a tour of the Temple."

Suikotsu smiles " That is where we are bringing our brothers back such as Ginkotsu and Jakotsu tho it will take some time. Cloneing beings such as us is much diffrent from other cloneing. And i have been dying to see if you in the Abh military have improved your fighting skills so maybe we can even dual."

First Prince Julian Davion boarded his ship, which activated its KF drive as soon as it got away from the planet. It arrived in Bevelle the next day. "Requesting Permission to land"

The arrival of the Supreme Overlord was both sudden and unannounced. All at once, a full Yuuzhan Vong attack fleet reverted to realspace as close to Bevelle as possible. Stopping outside the planet's gravity well, the fleet signalled to Bevelle.

"This is the Supreme Overlord's personal fleet. We are here escorting his belovedness to the coronation of a new emperor. He wishes to land immediately and will need provisions for himself and his personal bodyguard (OOC: a full regiment of warriors). Respond with coordinates for landing immediately."

Cufadiss gulped. "B-but I'm only Admiral Spoor's Chief of Staff. I haven't done hand to hand combat since the academy."

"Don't worry chief, if they want to see a fight then they may get one." She looked back to Bankotsu. "Well which of these activites would the future Emperor like to participate in? I am your guest afterall so you must choose."

To Starenell: Please Land at Landing Padd Alpha Next to the Royal Palace it is now able to be used agian

To Talaax: Understood. Please follow the homeing signal it will lead you to Distrect Nine. All Droids have been removed from the area and houseing and provisions have been gathered. You may bring a smaller craft to act as your own transport during you time here as we do not have any none machine ships at this time.

Suikotsu smirks as he almost drags Cufadiss away.

Bankotsu thinks for a moment " How about a dual you can pick any weapon you wish for it. I will go unarmed as i have been getting to dependent on my Halbard as of late."

The Staric ships landed at the designated point. First Prince Julian exited the ship.

Cufadiss has this pleading look on his face as he is dragged away.

Spoor only smiles and shouts to him. "You'll be fine dear Chief. You need a little excitement in your life anyways."

She turns her attention back to Bankotsu with a grin on her face and spark in her eye. "Unarmed you say." She shakes her head. "How do you expect me to fight in this outfit? My movements are restricted as is especially with this skirt on."

tag

Rob rushed in to the transporter room his feet shuffling and tapping on the carpet, he walked up to the glassy transporter pads fallowed by two marines there amour silently moving as they went on both sides of him there pulse rifles gleaming on the white blue light reflected on the pads.

Rob sighed as he said “energize”

With that a flash of white light engulfed rob and the two marines , they re appeard on the surface instantly.

Two Imperial Guards dressed in a dark black robe greeted the First Prince Julian. " You are early we have arranged for a room for you untell the cermony takes place in six hours."

In the Transporter room Two more Imperial Guards met President Rob " Welcome to Bevelle you have arrived early. We have arranged for a room for you to stay in untell the cermony in six hours."

Suikotsu atlast lead Cufadiss to a Building that looked much like a old factory with high tech auto security systems. He escorted him into the lab where Four tanks could be seen holding the four lost members of the Band of Seven. Jakotsu was the nearist to being finnished. Renkotsu was busy at work on what would be Ginkotsus new and improved body when he was finnished. He turned and looked at the punny by comparisen Cufadiss

" Your race feels they are better then Humans in every way is that so?"

Bankotsu smirks " I can supply you with proper clothes if you wish. Or i can fight with my left hand only if you like." Bankotsu said in a seriouse voice

OOC: Note Bankotsu is right handed.

It was at this time that Supreme Overlord Choka entered the reception chamber, after having inspected his quarters and determined that they were sufficient. Sitting atop a living cushion, floating with the aid of small dovin basals, the Supreme Overlord scanned the crowd, meeting each and every guest eye to eye. As he passed the guests, one could feel a very distinct "heavying" as if his mere presence increased the gravity of the room. In reality it was the dovin basals at work, increasing the gravity around him.

At his right walked the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, and to his left the Executor Kunra - in place of High Prefect Nom Anor. He was also accompanied by a half dozen elite guards. Upon arriving at the head of the room, the Yuuzhan Vong delegation simply turned and faced the room and began to watch the proceedings.

Mercer shimmereded in front of Bankotsu and walked up to him. He was Ronwe now as opposed to the Dratherian he had once been. The Ronwe an ancient race of demons who had been the wisest and most powerful of all the beings in Hell. Although most people thought that the Arcorans were the first of the first they were not. Before the Archangels fell to Hell they were created by both sides to be agents of darkness and light and after they were destroyed and split into two different demons the Arcorans and the Akuma, Rishnu determined that they would return one day and bring with them an unstoppable force of light and darkness. They in essence would carry the soul of a human with the power of demons. So when someone looked at a Ronwe they would see what was in their own hearts, if a person was good they would see an Angel as beautiful as the light in their soul but if they were evil they would see a daemon as fearsome as the evil in their own hearts. Yet still those torn between both would see the warrior in his true Dratherian form. He then began to clap saying, "Congrats on your ascension although I believe it will be short-lived. This is because Inuyasha is still around and can still kick your butt." He laughed and shimmered in Bankotsu's face, "And I as well am far beyond your mortal powers."

Bankotsu only laughed " Really do you think i still care about somthing that happened thousands of years past? I have gone threw so much more and care little of the past. As for your powers dont be so arrogent i have dealt with those who powers match if not go beyound your powers. Really what reasion do you have to have such hate towrds me?"

Bankotsu said laughing " As for Inuyasha i would rather you not speak that name ever agian."

It was at this time that Supreme Overlord Choka entered the reception chamber, after having inspected his quarters and determined that they were sufficient.

Upon arriving at the head of the room, the Yuuzhan Vong delegation simply turned and faced the room and began to watch the proceedings. OOC: Befor i respond i wanted to know the use of metal like that of a sword. would that be seen as a offence to the Vong gods?

Mercer laughed, "Hate you? That's absurd I have always been intrigued by your kind. Your history fascinates me hell Inuyasha and the others live in Limbo on a planet very close ethereally to the citadel. But as you see to us Ronwe time is like a sword to people it is not that complex to manipulate once you have watched it long enough. See this is why I know your reign shall be short-lived. And I am not arrogant I have watched you closely and respect you as a warrior but to kill a Ronwe is a great thing for any warrior to achieve. See Ronwe are hard to kill, so hard in fact that the easiest way to kill us is in Limbo where our power is full here it tries us to stay. It exhausts us terribly to stay here and as such we remain for a limited time unless we are in force otherwise we can oly stay for a short time before returning to Limbo for a rest."

" Why would i fight one of you guys? I mean dont get me wrong i would enjoy the challange but i have a nation to run. You say may reign maybe short but i will see for myself in time wont i?"

Mercer smiled as a dazzling golden throne appeared behind him at which he sat down, "True you will. However your future is not decided unlike many futures I have seen yours is branched severly 60% end with your own demise while the other 40% end with you ruling. Now what kind of ruler you will be remains to be seen. I just wish to study your behavior but be aware that Inuyasha still wants you dead and that soon enough he will return to Ashlianna where from there he may attempt to find you again to settle an old score. I think I remember you guys never had a chance to find out who was better what with Naraku eating you."

OOC: Technically no. It wouldn't be an appreciated gift, but wouldn't insult.

To Spoor there was nothing worse than this bravado of a power struggle. Hardly of which interested her at all and was not all that attractive in a man. To get away from this boring turn out, Spoor simply walked by and lightly touching Bankotsu's shoulder. Before she left, she whispered in his ear. "I'll be waiting inside."

OOC: What i am trying to figure out is if the Vong would think of Bankotsu as a Warrior or not. He uses his sword or fist.

IC: Bankotsu nods as Spoor walks by " I must take my leave now i have more pressing matters then to talk about a half breed mutt. He would never even make it past the likes of Sensui,Yomi or Bui to get to me." He said walking off following behind Spoor.

The Main Chamber was alive with activity but with as few machines as possible and no Droids as not to upset the Supreme Overlord. Many diffrent lords and ladys were in the building and the other delegations would soon be arriveing.

Spoor managed to find an empty chair to sit in. She signaled for a servant to bring her a glass of red wine while she waited for Bankotsu. Just another boring banquet where small time powers of lords and ladys can come and try to impress the future Emperor. All so very tedious to the Admiral and Grand Dutchess.

In the Transporter room Two more Imperial Guards met President Rob " Welcome to Bevelle you have arrived early. We have arranged for a room for you to stay in untell the cermony in six hours."
OOC: Note Bankotsu is right handed.

Rob nodded and said “can you take me to it?” he sighed as he dusted off his Suit, his marines standing by him there pulse rifles and white amour gleaming in the light.

OOC: It doesn't matter what weapon a person uses, so long as they are an honourable and skilled warrior. For example: Take the Jedi. They are seen as the worst of a galaxy of infidels in that they worship falls Gods (The Force), wield abominable weapons (pure technology and uses light in an abominable way) and they protect and uphold the infidel societies of the galaxy. However, they are also seen as the most honourable warriors in the galaxy.

Bankotsu sat at the table next to Spoor almost sighing. But the sooner he got this event out the way the sooner he would be crowned Emperor and get to do more of what he wanted.

The Guards escorted Rob to the main chamber where the cermony was only a hour away after the dinner and informaly talks.

With Bankotsu sitting and most of the guest in the dinneing hall a guard said " Dinner may begian. The tables were filled with many diffrent types of food mostly Fayth and Human foods tho some Demon food was there but many wouldnt find it to their taste unless they were Demon. Some Vong food was also provided for their guest.

Meanwhile Suikotsu smiles as he handed Cufadiss a small chip. " You Abh can hook right up to computers i hear. Hook that up and we can have a battle. It will make you think your in a battle and even let you feel the Pain of the battle with out really being harmed." He said as he and Renkotsu both had the chips directly implanted into their new cyber brains.

"Of course." Prince Julian and his force-sensitive aide went to their assigned room.

Spoor sat at the table with her shapely legs crossed with a napkin delicatly placed in her lap. She leaned back and sipper her red wine. She looked the food trays over and picked a few pieces of fruit to eat. "This is so boring. This is not how a real party is supposed to be done." She spoke loud enough so only Bankotsu could hear.

Bankotsu only smirks and laughs a little looking at a aid next to him " Shes right you know this is rather dull. Cant you have some entertainment?"

The aid only looks on somewhat at a loss " Like what your highness?"

Bankotsu then had a rather intresting idea " Suikotsu and Renkotsu plan to have a little fight with a certain guest via the cyber chip. Have it brodcast in full holo view midchamber where all can see."

The aid blinks a few times " Isnt that a bit barbaric?"

Bankotsu laughs " Calling me barbaric??"

The Aid bows " N-no your highness it will be done.

Meanwhile a aid knocks on Prince Julian's door " Sir the dinner has started your most welcome to join."

At the Renkotsus lab both Suikotsu and Renkotsu look at Cufadiss " Are you scared? I though the Abh Military wasnt affraid of anything?"

The Supreme Overlord at little and mostly just watched the others in boredom. In a life that had been full of honour and battle, he still wondered how he had been reduced to this. Little more than a figurehead. It was really quite depressing sometimes.

At the mention of battle, however, he perked up. His hopes were dashed however, when he heard mention of a holoshow. Looking down the table to Bankotsu, his eyes piercing deep into his very soul - an unintentional consequence of the m'qaaq'it implants that replaced his eyes - and said. "We will not be insulted by your "holograms". If there is to be honourable combat, I wish to see it with my own eyes. Take us to the place of battle, we would be delighted to take in the spectacle. Perhaps the Warmaster would join in, hmm?" He laughed and nudged the half-asleep Tsavong Lah.

"Huh? Oh yes... It would be a pleasure to engage your honourable warriors in single combat. Perhaps I could show you how a real warrior fights? Ha!" The Warmaster responded, laughing at his own clumsily delivered joke.

Bankotsu thinks for a moment then looks at spoor " Mind if they really fight and here? We have top of the line med centers here he would be in no danger of death. My guys are highly trained so they know where to hit for a good show but not death."

Spoor leaned back for a bit and sipped her wine while thinking on the matter. "It would be better than this I suppose. Let's head down there now."

Cufadiss took some resolve at the remark. "There is only one person I fear and she is not here right now. Battle doesn't frighten me, especially considering the Admiral I serve."

Bankotsu nods " Those who wish to go see this battle in persion may do so. Those who do not may stay here untell our return." He smiles at spoor " This way i assure you it will be a intresting fight"

Suikotsu and Renkotsu watched the events unfold on their wrest padds " Seems she is on her way now to watch you do battle. How sad you will shame her loseing to humans. Tsk tsk" Suikotsu said

Renkotsu only walked to a table and loaded up a chain gun looking weapon and a hand held cannon. His right arm had regrown and with the Dragon of the Darkness Flame still there. Enough of Hieis blood had pumped into him that his cells would remember it.

OOC: Meh, I posted before I saw the post about dinner.
IC: Julian went out to the table, but when he heard about he fight he decided to go there. He was much more comfortable near or in a fight than in diplomacy.

"I do hope so. After personally invitine me, I had expected something grand from you."

Cufadiss smirked at the two. "But from what I've heard, you are hardly human."

He looked around the table. "Which weapon is designated for me?"

Mercer appeared next to Bankotsu and began to talk again, "I feel so rude I forgot to introduce myself. My name is John Mercer, Lord of the Ronwe. You may have known me in my previous lives. In fact I distinctly remember meeting Jakotsu and speaking with him. I cannot wait to speak with him again such a unique person he was. I am here to witness this day in particular because some unique things will happen that could change the fate for many nations."

Bankotsu smirks at Spoor " By days end when we can speak alone you will see this trip was worth it"

Bankotsu then turned to John " Yes Jakotsu is indeed intresting sadly it will be a while befor he is recloned. As for the fate of many nations changeing today. I would hope so i will make sure my stamp is put firmly on history one way or another."

Suikotsu smiled " Any weapon you wish. Hell take them all it wont matter"

"The day is still young your Excellency." Spoor continues to walk by his side.

Cufadiss looks over the weapons table for a while looking at the various weapons. He finally settles on an energy blade as he tests it by flicking his rest and feeling the weight of it all. "Alright, I have made my choice."

OOC: TFU i had my guards escorting rob to the main chamber. You can just asume he is with the others heading for the battleground if you want.

IC: Bankotsu smirks as he walks up on Cufadiss " Dont get scared i am sure your strounger then you look. It will be fine aslong as you dont get near his blades or renkotsus fire" He said patting Cufadiss hard on the back. While doing so he pressed a jewl shard into his back to give him a boost. He didnt want the girl he courts first officer to be killed after all.

He stepped back beside spoor as Suikotsu walked up laughs " 20 secounds tops Renkotsu and this is over."

Rob blinked a bit, as he walked in to the chamber he looked around rubbing his chin a bit, with a some what serious look on his face, he spotted some of the other delegates; saying to him self “well time to meet the crazies”


He walked up to them his feet taping on the martial below him, his black suit crisp and professional. He wanted to brake the ice so with out delay he said “greetings, what a nice little gathering you have here”

Bankotsu turned " Ah President Rob its good to meet you atlast. I have done much study on your nation and ships. I must say very impressive work. I am glad you could make it."

Rob smoothly put up a hand for a shake, he smiled a bit saying “I’m glad I could make it as well, this will be a chance for us to get know our nations better and possibly work out a deal of some sort, it’s a pleasure meeting you”

Spoor looked to see that Rob had finally caught up with the rest. "Hello Rob it seems you are just in time for a minor specatcle."

She then turned her attention back to Bankotsu. "I don't appreciate my Chief of Staff being thrown into a combat situation without my knowledge. If this was planned you could have at least even the fight up a bit. Two on one is hardly honorable. You could at least let me fight along side him or designate someone else to."

The Supreme Overlord nudged Tsavong Lah again and turned to Spoor. "The Warmaster would be perfectly willing to fight alongside your comrade. Two on one is dishnourable. Let us make it honourable double combat."

Bankotsu shakes robs hand " Indeed maybe we can"

He then turns back to spoor " please forgive me i did not know this was going to happen. If you wish wish i will fight with him if they wish to fight two on two."

Renkotsu looks up " No uh its ok big brother i will stay out of this and let Suikotsu fight."

Bankotsu nods " Very well then its settled besides i am sure he is trained for such a event."

OOC: Sorry my connectiong lagged didnt see your post.

IC: Renkotsu was still recovering from his wounds during the Rebellion so he was in no shape to fight a real warrior he turned to Bankotsu " Winner fights the Warmaster?"

“A fight eh?” Rob commented “sounds interesting.. though I certainly hope it isn’t to the death… “ rob laughed diplomatically at the situation his hands beside him professionally.

Spoor sighed. "I still wish you would have informed me. Cufadiss has not been in this form of combat for some time."

She turned a glare over Rob. "Then I will have the head of any man that kills my chief and feed his eyeballs to my cute little birdies."

Suikotsu smirked " Oh i would like to see you tr....." he stoped as he saw Bankotsu glairing at him. If their was one thing he knew it was not to piss off Bankotsu. Even with out his Halbard he could be very deadly. Renkotsu in a past life learned that the hard way.

Suikotsu then turned back to Cufadiss " Well come on little man attack me!"

Mercer flexed his muscles and turned to Bankotsu saying, "You have already done so but to do so further will cause the fall and rise of many nations. And in some a change, a change so dire it could change the fate of the Imperium of Man."

Cufadiss slowly stalked with his blade extended, taking a measure of Suikotsu.

"Watch yourself chief."

Rob raised an eyebrow at the comments made by the abh delegate. Rob shook his head “ this brawl is going to get bigger its ashamed, it will be all about physical strength and no telepathic strength.. but it isn’t my place to tell you how a fight should go”

Bankotsu smiles " I am no man and the majority of my empire is Fayth or Demon. The Imperiam of Man is just part of what i must deal with. I am no stranger to cuasing the rise and fall of leaders and nations. I was the head of the Band of Seven back on old earth we took down many Warlords."

Bankotsu then useing his Cyberbrain directly talked to Suikotsu the whole time directly to each other. It was very secure Suikotsu rough him up a bit then make it a somewhat good fight then lose. I want my most importent guest to be happy with the outcome

Suikotsu charges at Cufadiss his claw blades up ready to strike down at Cufadiss.

Mercer smiled, "But dealing with the IoM will not be easy. You have my old nation to deal with including many other nations and allies willing to defend against you. This change however will not be brought about by your force but rather that of one of your guests. The change you may cause in them has potential to change the Imperium in a new and dangerous way. But this is only one of many possible futures that branch from this day."

Cufadiss had luckily remembered some of his sparring sessions and had even participated enough times in the jousting arena. Keirn've had been the best at it and was Cufadiss's instructor for a brief time.

An overhead slash, easy to dodge. He waited until Suikotsu was right on top of him and then skittered away only moving his feet. He kept perfect balance with his hips and kept the blade extended out.

Once the slash was at it's in on the lowest point. Cufadiss pushed off his back foot fastly covering two feet. He wasn't the best at this type of fighting style but it was all he could remember.

Suikotsu was highly trained at combat. Useing his greater speed he turned fastly and attempted to grab cufadiss by the arm.

Unfortunatly this style allowed for quick movements and the blade was easily retracted and then stuck out again.

Never afraid to voice her opinion. "Keep at it chief. You're not doing too bad."

Suikotsu smirked seeing his opponet was faster then he had thought. He jumped high into the air and came down feet first hopeing to smash into Cufadiss

Cufadiss had only one other move open to him. He ducked down and rolled away from Suikotsu and came up behind him.

Suikotsu landed on his feet but was slow to turn leaving his back open.

Cufadiss saw the opening and quickly planted his feet and then pushed off with the blade tip aimed at Suikotsu's back.

Suikotsu turned his head and smiled not even moveing " Lets see what you got."

He slid the blade past Suikotsu's neck and rested it on his shoulder. "You are beat."

Suikotsu smirks " As you said befor i am not human." He said as he slammed his claw blades into Cufadiss

"Chief!"

Spoor turned an angry glare on Bankotsu. "Did you intend to have my Chief of Staff die in battle for your entertainment?"

Cufadiss rolled with the attack but still received a gash on his back as his clothes were torn and blood began to flow. He gripped his back to stem the flow of blood.

The injury wasn't serious at the moment but in time he could possibly bleed to death. He managed to find his balance point though his legs were a little weak from the attack on his back. Cufadiss still managed to level the sword tip towards Suikotsu.

Bankotsu smiles " Dont worry as i said we have been doing this since befor Humans even started useing guns. The injury is not at all bad i can tell that much from here and i will stop it befor he it even starts to turn pale. In the end this is a good training for him. I am trusting him to aid in your protection. I know your a good fighter but you also care for your crew members. As i care for the members of the my fighters. If i had to worry about them in battle i would die. But they can take care of them selfs and i know this. I want to make sure your chief is able to deal with whatever comes his way so you dont have to worry to much about him. In the comeing wars ship bordings will be more comman. And i just wish to insure you are able to devote all your thought to battle when and if it comes to that.."

Suikotsu smirks " I am sorry kid but your going to have to learn what its like to fight someone who isnt normal!!" He said rushing at Cufadiss with his full furry.

Spoor glared at Bankotsu narrowing her red eyes. "Your intentions are all good and well but he serves in the Star Forces. Ground battles are what the Abh+ marines are for."

The jewel shard began taking effect as his wound slowly started to heal and strength returned to Cufadiss's legs. Cufadiss charged in as well feeling refreshed.

" a whole new breed of war is just around the corner. Anything is possible" Bankotsu said

Suikotsu met Cufadiss' blade with his right claw blades.

Cufadiss got his feet under him and began pushing up on Suikotsu's claws with his blade.

"If you are referring to boarding parties, that is a barbaric way to fight a war. My ships come through a trample the weakened enemy without worrying about boarding parties."

Mercer looked slightly surprised and turned to Bankotsu saying, "Is that supposed to be a shard of the Jewel of Four Souls? As I was aware the full jewel is still in Kagome's hands. As a matter of fact I have seen it myself when I met with them on Ashlianna before my............change."

" Yes it seems Naraku has found a way to make his own. These belonged to him untell i decided to stop paying attention to him. He didnt care he said he had bigger things to deal with. I myself am trying to creat a whole jewl shard. It would be very useful."

Suikotsu also pushed back with all his might or so he acted. He smirked as he swung his left hands claw blades at Cufadiss

Cufadiss retracted his blade and rolled under the swipe while dragging his blade across Suikotsu's left leg.

"That a way Chief!"

Suikotsu limped atlittle but turned as fast as he could and brought both claw blades down at Cufadiss' back.

Cufadiss was already rolling and came up behind Suikotsu and struck up at his back.

Spoor put two fingers between her lips and let a shrill whistle.

The blade went right through Suikotsu and came out the other side right threw his kidneys. One would think the blow was fatal. As Suikotsu fell to the ground.

Good job wait for the match to be called then get up Bankotsu said via cyberbrain transmission

Mercer turned heel and whispered in Bankotsu's ear, "By falsifying wins you will only anger your ally. At least it would anger a true warrior as well as a true warrior's nation. And your warriors seem like good fighters. Maybe I should engage one of them sometime." Mercer walked back towards the entrance where he leaned against the entrance with his wings folding in. By this time he had chosen the appearance of a being clad in an organic Jet Black and Metallic Blue colored armor with a glistening silver katana at his side. His eyes were fire red while the backs of his eyes were black. and he wore a blood red cape about his shoulders.

Spoor let out an even a shriller whistle. "That a boy chief!"

Cufadiss was panting at that time as he let the blade fall to his side. He looked over to Bankotsu. "Should we get him some medical attention?"

Bankotsu smirks " Fights over the winner is Cufadiss." He pulled cufadiss aside to keep his and spoors eyes away from Suikotsu " You ever think of becomeing a fighter for hirer?" Bankotsu said as he quickly withdrew the jewl shard.

Suikotsu stood up with ease while the others looked at Cufadiss. He smirked finding the idea that that little guy thought he really beat him. He walked off with Renkotsu laughing the whole way.

With Cufadiss jewel shard gone, he began to feel the pain again and fatigue suddenly washed over him. "I really don't feel so good. I think I need to lay down."

Cufadiss began to faint but Spoor caught him in her arms. She looked to Bankotsu. "Do you have a room where he can rest and have his wounds treated?"

Bankotsu nods " Yeah" He looked over to a guard " Take him to the med center and let them fix his wounds then take him and have him put in my room to rest. He fought like a great warrior. He will be treated like one"

The Guard nods as he picks on Cufadiss

Bankotsu then turns to Spoor " Tough chief you got there. I must admit i under estemated him. You indeed must keep your crew in top shape."

Spoor watched Cufadiss be carried away and slowly nodded her head. "My crew is what makes my fleet so great. Even losing a single ship is not something that sits well with me. Every battle I can hear the sound of metal breaking and the sound of my precious crew dieing."

Bankotsu sighs " Yeah its never good to lose those you fight beside. They are your family. And when your the leader your their Big Brother or Sister. When ever one of my brothers died i felt it to be my fualt. I was their leader it was up to me to make sure they lived."

Spoor looked at Bankotsu for awhile but didn't say anything. She looked back down and kept walking.

As they were lead back to the main chamber Bankotsu turned to the group " I must be off for now. I must get ready i will return in a hour then the event will begian untell then feel free to eat,drink, dance or tour the palace. Or even enter the Yevon temple. But no machines are allowed in there they have a stroung dislike for machine or machina as they call it in their holy places."

Spoor shrugged and decided that it would be best for her to go check up on Cufadiss. He had taken a beating and was surprised that his injuries weren't worse than what they were.

A hour passed as the guest were allowed to do as they wished in the main chamber. Cufadiss was allowed to rest in Bankotsus chambers as Spoor was asked to return to the main chamber.

Bankotsu entered the chamber and stood in front of the Throne. The Lords and Ladys of Neo Zeta gathered in a neat formation. A man walked up and begian to read from a old book telling of Neo Zetas birth and the rise of the first Emperor.

OOC: It would be way to much typing to typ what is being said so i will just post agian in a bit signaling his finnish.

Spoor stood there thoroughly bored listening to the birth of Neo Zeta. There is nothing as boring as listening to an account of the greatness of someone's nation.

She didn't even talk about her so it would hardly thrill her to listen about someone elses.

As the man finnished speaking four young girls about the age of 18 all very what many would see as bombshells carried on a pillow the crown up to the man. The man carefuly picked it up and begian to walk towrds Bankotsu.

Bankotsu bent down a little as the man spoke agian.

" Bankotsu i know crown you Bankotsu I of Neo Zeta now rise my Emperor and Lord"

Bankotsu rose and the lords and ladys begian to clap and cheer

" Long Live Bankotsu Long Live Bankotsu!"

Spoor clapped along with the rest of the crowd and put on a smile just in case Bankotsu looked this way so he wouldn't be insulted. Hopefully this is ceremony is almost over she muttered.

Bankotsu nods and allows the people to go back to the party as he walked down to Spoor. " Board i see?" He laughs " Your not the only one now if i remember me and you had a dual to go."

Spoor raised an eyebrow at him. "And I imagine seeing me fight you in a short skirt and tight bodice would interest you."

" It very well might" He said with a smirk

Spoor narrowed an eye. "Just get me a change of clothes."

Bankotsu lead Spoor to a dressing room. "You may change here we have a nice selection of combat suits. From those much like mine to full armor suits. Or normal suits much like the Abh Star Forces have. Weapons choice is up to you. I will await you in the arena." He smiles as he walks off.

Spoor chooses a regular Star Forces type uniform that fits her well. She bends and twists to make sure the fit is right. Finally satisified she moves on to the weapons storage.

Spoor settled on just an average blade that was about three feet long. The balance was good in the hilt and had a light feel to it. She moved on to where Bankotsu was awaiting. "Shall we begin?"

Bankotsu stood there his halbard Banryu in his right hand. " By now i am sure its clear i am trying to win you over. From what i know of you one thing you look for in a man is the ability to win in battles and even match or beat you in battle. So for this i wont hold back i will fight with the same ammount of my power as i did when fighting Inuyasha so long ago."

He ended his little speech with him daring spoor to attack.

Spoor smirked as she rested the back end of the Katanna on her shoulder. "Well you're right for once. Congratulations though it will take more than a good fighter to win me over. So this is phase one of your courting process. Well we might as well begin before I grow bored."

Unlike Cufadiss, Spoor had a different style of fighting where she utilized the Japanese sword in the Iaito style.

The sword was returned to its sheath and placed at her hip as she waited for Bankotsu.

Bankotsu rested Banryu on his right shoulder and begian to walk in on spoor.

" Iaito style huh? Hope thats not all you got."

His walk became a a jog as he closed in.

"Impressive though this stance could be any style and don't think this is only one I know."

Spoor also went into a jog as her left hand went to the sheath while her thumb pressed up on the tsuba.

Bankotsu was now with in strikeing range of his Banryu. He however decided to hold off from attacking for now anyway. He let himself get into strikeing range of her sword.

Spook knew that Bankotsu could have attacked if he wished but was holding back. So be it. He would have to learn the hard way of fighting as her right hand went to the hilt of the sword.

A style designed for lightning quick attacks, key targets for fighting were targeted. Fash twitch muscles flexed as she drew the sword. The sheath acclerated the sword draw beyond anything a human could normally accomplish as she aimed for Bankotsu's left wrist.

Bankotsu leeped into the air befor the sword was finnished leaving its sheath. His speed was greater then that of any human do to the jewl shards. As he landed behind spoor he smiles and jabs his elbow hard into her mid back.

Seeing Bankotsu leap away before the sword even cleared the sheath, Spoor let the force of the draw continue to spin her which caused Bankotsu's jab in the back to go wide. However, her sword continued to spin around this time as it went for his forehead.

Bankotsu placed his Banryu in front of his forehead to block the sword.

Spoor dropped down and swept her left foot around to knock Bankotsu off his feet.

Bankotsu jumped into the air and slamed Banryu into the ground alowing him to do a hand stand on the handel on his haldbard. " Come on do you think that type of attack will work on someone who was been fighting since i was a child?" He said swinging down pulling Banryu out of the ground and swinning it down at spoor.

Spoor easily stepped to the side as the halberd came down. "And clumsy attacks like that will not get you very far."

She stepped on the halberd and ran up the length of the shaft as she turned the blade over so the flat part would hit instead of the blade. She swung her sword at Bankotsu's nose while she ran up.

Bankotsu was slapped on the nose by the attack. He wasnt hurt however his ego was crippled. He countered by sending a strong pulse of energy threw his sword.

Spoor was now standing behind him after jumping off his shoulders from finishing her attack. She returned the sword to its sheath.

Bankotsu kept thinking to himself why do i keep holding back. Gah this isnt like me. I must not go soft on her damn it. He jumped into the air and gathered energy into Banryu. Looking down at Spoor he smiles " Dragon Thunder!" Banryu sends a massive ammound of built up energy into the air which brakes up into small portions. They were weaker then the one portion however they insure the area will be covered by the attack. They screamed down hitting the area all over in random order and location.

Well this was hardly a fair fight but no one ever said it would be. The lesser of two evils had to be taken. Get hit with a full blast or accept the sting of one of the lesser attacks. The choice was obvious for Spoor as she avoided the larger blast and hopped from spot to spot to avoid being hit. She did take a small blast though which singed her hair. Now she was pissed.

Spoor brushed the corner of her uniform off. She looked at Bankotsu after finishing and replied in a very calm voice. "I will make you pay for every split end I have."

Bankotsu flew down as she spoke. He was now allowing him self to use more of his power but he was still holding back he couldnt help it. He swung his Halbard with lightning speed at spoor. The blade on its side as not to cut her in half.

Unfortunatly for Bankotsu, a weapon like that was easy to predict no matter how fast the attack. Spoor was already ducking when he started his swing but her long blue braid did manage to take a nick which only infuriated the woman a little more.

She ducked with her left foot out so she could push off and charge right in once the blade was past. On came another sheath draw that was just as fast if not faster than her first draw. The slash was not a horizontal one but a diagonal one that would leave a slash from Bankotsu's lower right to his upper left side if it hit.

As bankotsus legs took a mild cut he felt blood flow from his legs. However she mad a key mistake. With his left hand open he grabbed the blad quickly and held hard. Blood come from his hand but with the two jewl shards in his left arm the blade was going no where. At the same time Bankotsu droped his halbard and swung his right fist at Spoors face.

Perhaps they had both made a mistake but Spoor wasn't done yet. She was beginning to realize that things weren't exactly fair in this fight and that became apparent when his hand wasn't sliced in two from the slash.

Spoor wasn't done though. She heard the halber drop and let go of her own sword though she was not without a weapon. Her sheath was not tucked in a belt or anything but was merely held in her left hand. She utilized this to her advantage and swept the sheath behind Bankotsu's left knee right where the pressure point was to make his leg collapse.

Bankotsu seeing his chance fell....forword on top of Spoor. He wanted to end this fight befor he got worked up and used to much power. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt spoor. She had proven to be more of a challange then he thought.

Well this wasn't the result she had expected. It was a good move by him to fall forward instead of taking the hit and being pushed back where he would have been defenseless.

"Get off you big oager! Since when did this turn into a wrestling match?"

He got up picking her up at the same time and placed her on his right shoulder. " Do you subit or wish to go?" He said laughing

Spoor started pounding her fists on the back of his shoulders. "Let me go you big oaf! I'm not a sack of potatoes. If you're going to carry me, you could at least carry me like the woman I am."

Bankotsu laughs as he moves spoor into a carrying postion more fitting for a women. " i guess i win? I couldnt bring my self to even come close to going all out. I did not want to see you hurt."

"You only won because you fell on me instead of taking the hit. Your little magic attack didn't do much."

Despite her complaining and gruffiness, she did manage to wrap in arm around his neck and cross her ankles while her feet dangled.

Bankotsu laughs as he carrys her off to his chambers where cufadiss was. He thought she might want to check on him.

Spoor looked up at him while she is carried off to where Cufadiss is staying. "Do you mind letting me walk? My chief of staff has never seen me carried like this nor has anyone for that matter seen me or carried me like this before."

Bankotsu looks at spoor and nods as he sets her down. " We all have to keep a image up."

Spoor nods and then straightens her outfit as she pushes open the door. Cufadiss was laying down in the bed quite comfortably when he rolled his head over to look at Spoor and Bankotsu. "I take it you lost the match."

Spoor's right eye narrowed and begin to twitch but quickly regained composure. "Only on a mere technicality. How are you feeling?"

"Oh much better. The wounds have almost completely healed so I should be good to move about by tomorrow."
