Good-bye for now, old friend (Close rp)

OOC: This rp is takes place after my rps with Oceania and ANL.

“To hold my post as Sultan, you must be willing to cross that fine of sanity and insanity constantly, and be able to go back to the other within a moment notice…you must be able to do actions that you don’t want to do…yet you have to do it or others will begin to undermined you…your inhumanity is your humanity…once you understand that…. then you will understand why I did these things during my reign. All I ask you is to try to walking in my shoes, before you make any judgments.”


At the Sultan Palace, New Delhi, India, Khailfah al Muslimeen

The Sultan was silently drinking his tea, with the Grand Vizier and Faruq al Mafee bin Hāni …today was going to make history, he was sure of it. But why he felt that he was looking down the barrel of a gun…but why he even brother to ask question he already knew the answer to.. He look at a the folder that laid on his desk title “Tanizmat of 2007”, there that’s the answer to why he felted that he was looking down the barrel of a gun, he already knew what the response from Parliament will be, he had to brass for the coming storm.

Then the silence was broken when the Grand Vizier spoke up” Sultan, old friend its time…”

The Sultan look the Grand Vizier and Faruq, then begun to speak “ If I am to go forward with this act of reform let it be known that I did it because I had no choices. It was this or watch everything that I worked for go down in flames…Just I do this for the next generation of this land, not for myself, let it be known that I am aware of the price that I will pay for this, let be known I accept the outcome with my eyes open..”

The Sultan then sip his tea and said the following to justify his actions to himself and his Grand Vizier and most trusted adviser “Parliament doesn’t have the authority to enact acts of government to incite the population to rebel against the authority of Sultan, there is no law that permits Parliament incite a fitna, yet with this being said, why does Parliament attempt pass such treasonous acts…is Parliament in at fault of treason against the state?”

He answer his question…” Nay not all of Parliament guilty of this heinous crime…it is a evil cabal of ministers from the factions that are plotting behind the scenes to incite fitna and I will care out my duty as Sultan and break them here and now…even at the cost of my life…all for the future generations..”

Faruq smiled and said “ Well said my student….you finally shown that you are truly capable of crossing the line for the stake of the greater good…you finally learned what I been trying to teach you all these years…your inhumanity is your humanity..good show my student…now apply what you learn and don’t fall back!”

The Grand Vizier nodded in agreement and said” We waited eight long years to do this final act of reform, old friend…we must not fall back…if its allow to go on any longer the more likely it will cause harm to the Imperium as a whole…too long we allow them to exist…too long we had to wait and watch them destabilize the Imperium from within…the line is draw in the sand and its now time for us to cross it…we have the support of Imperial Senate, the Courts, House of Viziers and a good number of the Ministers of Parliament…today we go fore and face them…with the knowledge we may never come back for the stake of the Khailfah we will do it here and now!”

The Sultan remarked “Indeed, we shall cross and the enter the abyss.” Then the Sultan got up, so did the Grand Vizier and Faruq. The Sultan pulls on his sword and took out his handgun for his own protection, same for the Grand Vizier and Faruq. All three of them had on bulletproof vest and were ready for anything. They step out of the office and quickly headed off to the awaiting limo, they were flanked by Imperial Black Guardsmen. Quickly the drove off to the Parliament building, Faruq remarked

“So what if this push fails? What then?”

The Sultan looked out the window and remarked “ Then all hell will break loose…”

“No then everything is permitted..” remarked Faruq

The Sultan smiled and remarked cynical “ Someone has a sick sense of humor…humor is the only thing that keeps us sane…despite the fact we are already insane..oh well.”

Shortly after, they reached the Parliament building…the entire area was closed off to the public, there were police and Imperial Black guardsmen all over the place, keeping tight watch of whatever was going on in the area. The Sultan, The Grand Vizier and Faruq step out of the limousine and begun to walk up the steps.

The Sultan took a deep breath, he has walk up the steps with the support of his cane and thought to himself
” This is the beginning of the end…a pity it had to go out like this..”

At the top of the step Prime Minister Hilmi al Malik bin Houssam (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ottoman01/449b84a8.jpg) and the High Chancellor were waiting to greet the Sultan, Grand Vizier and Faruq. When the Sultan and co reached the top, they silently nodded to each other and the Prime Minister led the way into Parliament. Some of the Sultan closest advisers wondered why the he picked now to carry out this major act of reform. Right after.the fallout the Sultan power base took when the treaty with Oceania went public..but Sultan remarked it was now or never. Today, was the last day of life as he knew it..good night for now, old friend…nothing was ever going to be the same ever the again...

The Sultan and company follow the Prime Minister into the chamber of Parliament, all the 800 ministers rose up as the Sultan entered the chamber, the Sultan nodded to the Prime Minister to open the session of Parliament. He said the following

“Bismillah al-Rahman, al-Rahiim, this meeting of the Khailfah al Muslimeen Parliament is here by in session, lets any problems that to be address in the goals of further stabilize and just the making Dar al-Islam stronger in the end and just improving the lives of the peoples of Dar al-Ahd as the end result. Today, Sultan Suleiman Al Bashir II will take the floor and present to us, a major act of reforms..he now has the floor all g Parliamentary Edicts are now in enforced, please do not act out of order.” Then the Prime Minister nodded to the Sultan to take the floor.

The Sultan begin to speak

“Salaam my brothers and sisters of Parliament, our beloved Khailfah has been reforming itself constantly since the 1800s in the hopes of returning to the days of our civilization golden age..but it was all in vain..we still haven’t reach the level of the golden age…but we have come near it.. Now its time for the final act of reform and to have the era of the pax reforms to a close and start the era of true Imperium…mind you my Ministers…change is very hard thing to accept at times…but it must be done for the good of our Khailfah so it can live on for generations to come..” Then the Sultan paused and pulls out Tanizmat of 2007 document and began to read it out to the Ministers

“Intro: In light of the growth of the Imperium within recent decades, the time has come for the Imperial Government to streamline itself in the hopes of more better effective government for the Imperium as a whole.

We call for the disbandment of Parliament and the reforming of the House of Viziers into a new unicameral house of government to be known as the Majiles, to be compose of Muslims and non Muslim minister, of course as per Islamic canon law, only the Muslim Ministers will be permit to elect the next Sultan. There will be 600 ministers in total, this number will not be change in any way.The head of the Majiles, will be the Prime Minister, since his post will not be disbanded, yet the roles of Grand Vizier and High Chancellor will changed accordingly, they are will be only be the states of head and not heads of government, they will be the second and third in command of the Imperium after the Sultan. The functions and duties of the Majiles will be the same as the House of Viziers. The post of Deputy Prime Minister is to be disbanded with the passage of this act. “

The Sultan then stop reading the act, he rather not read into the details of acts, he watched in silent as his words begin to sink into the Ministers minds. Then all the sudden…a quarter of the Ministers go up and began to fill out of the chamber..these were the dissents and members of the rouge factions..As they left the chamber they threw their fezs down on the floor and step on it as sign of protest against the Sultan. They also forfeited their right to partake in the debate and vote on the act. The Sultan and company watched in silent, the Sultan thought to himself “So these are the ones under the thumb of the factions..soon I will rid the Imperium of their kind…”

After order and clam was restored to Parliament, the debates took place for about an hour and then the voting happen. The act was passed with overwhelming support of the most of the loyal ministers. Then the Act was passed up to the House of Vizier where the Sultan give the same speech and the act was passed with the total support of the Viziers. Now it was time for the Imperial Senate to give the final approve of the act, before the Sultan can sign it into effect. The Sultan and Company decide to walk to the Imperial Senate building which was right across the street from Parliament and hear the their verdict on the matter.

As the Sultan and company across the street, everything was dead silence the local police and Imperial Black guardsmen were keeping watch. They crossed the street with no problem, Sultan look around everything seem fine..but something was not right. He just couldn’t figure out what was wrong.But they continue to press on, when they reached the bottom steps of the Imperial Senate building…his feelings were approved. Right at the moment…the local police officers turn on their Imperial Black guardsmen counterparts, and begun exchange gunfire with the guardsmen and right at that moment the Sultan and co were passing by two police officers who quickly throw smoke bombs at them to cloud their vision, it was perfect timing. With the gas being deployed the Sultan, the Grand Vizier, Faruq and their guards were not able to see what was going on. They quickly pulled their out their swords and handguns and tried to make their way to safely of the Imperial Senate Building. The Imperial Senate guardsmen rush out to help their Imperial Black Guardsmen counterparts and to help save the Sultan and company. The whole area was turning into a firefight with the Sultan and co pinned down.

Right at the moment, a number of black sedans pull into the area; the rouge policemen who were manning the roadblocks to the area let them in. They quickly pull up in the area next to where the Sultan and co. were standing. There were roughly 20 of these hitmen, who were dress in gray camo and ski mask. They were armed with assault weapons and swords. The ones with the assault weapons give cover fire for the hitmen with swords to attack the Sultan and Grand Vizier. The Sultan, Grand Vizier, Faruq and their four guards begin to fight for their lives…they use their handguns and swords to take down their attackers. At the same time more Imperial Black guardsmen and Imperial Senate guards came to scene and begun to take out the rouges and battle was slowly turning in favor of the Imperial Guards.

The Sultan was fighting for his life, so was the Grand Vizier, Faruq, and the guards..they were able to fend off their attackers, since all three of them were skilled at using the sword and guns. Sensing the battle was turning against them, the remaining attackers tired rushed at Sultan, the led attacker engage the Sultan in sword fight, since the smoke was too thick to get a clear shot. The Sultan manger to fend him off and manger to cut open his ski mask and saw his face..

The Sultan yell out “ YOU SON OF “ before he could strike him done, another attacker throw his sword and manger to hit the Sultan prosthetics right hand, which force him to drop his sword, and then someone kicked the Sultan in the legs in order to force him on his knees, then someone try to stab the Sultan in the back, but miss and only give him a deep cut on the side. With that the led attacker manger to get away Yet they manger to get few shots off at the Sultan, but lucky his bullet proof vest manger to save him..but they still left a nasty mark. Then someone threw a series of flash bangs in the Sultan area, which knockout the Sultan and company for good amount of time. During that time, the Attackers manger to get out of the area after throwing a few more smoke bombs and flashgangs…yet the battle was over after they left, the Imperial Black and Senate guards had crush the rouges and secure the area.

They found the Sultan and company petty much roughed up, but other then that overall ok, the Sultan took some deep cuts, the Grand Vizier took some cuts, same for Faruq and the Guards. When the guards reached to the Sultan, and help him get up and he quickly with the help of one guard pull out the sword out of his prosthetic right hand, for the most part it was just minor damage to the prosthetic system. But his legs were killing him, those attackers knew where to kick…his weak spot was his legs. He could barely stand up, without the support of his cane. He was great pain, from the cuts, the kicks and next a headache from the flash bangs to top it off. The Guards quickly took the Sultan and co to the awaiting ambulance was ready to treat their injuries, the Sultan didn’t say a single word during that time, he just told the medic where he was cut and where he was in pain, they quickly patch him, same for the others. Dispite the Medic protest that Sultan and company should go to the New Dehli medical center for further treatment, the Sultan replied now wasn’t the time for such matters.

Afterwards, Sultan was sitting on the steps and waiting for the other to come out of the ambulance. Then the High Chancellor walk up to him under heavy guard, in fact the entire area was under a lockdown, to insure the rogue units don’t strike again. Then the Grand Vizier and Faruq joined the Sultan at that moment.

The High Chancellor broke the silence and said “We’re getting reports all over the place, they attempt the same tactic against all our governors and viceroys in the Dominions….so far most of our governors and viceroy bodyguards manger to fend them off…yet the Governors of Kurdistan, Bilad al Sham…Turkey, Egypt and the viceroy for Syirana are in the E.R. last reported…they been planning this for a long time…to place insiders in the local police units that are assigned to these areas…it requires a lot of planning to say the least.”

The Sultan bitterly smiled and remarked “ He should have finished the bloody job…damn that Dariusian pig!”

“It was a Dariusian!” remarked the Grand Vizier

“Yes, it was one of them…I saw his face..he had the chance but he fled in panic…damn fuckers..hmm..so this is how the fitna will start eh?” remarked the Sultan

Faruq smiled and remarked, “As I said before then everything is permitted…and now its happening…”

Then the Sultan brother Uthman, the President of Imperial Senate came out of the Imperial Senate building flank by guards and approach his brother the Sultan, they nodded to each other and the President said “ We concur with the act, it can be sign into effect and after that we must go after those troublemakers and root them out here and now!” Then he handed the Sultan the Act to sign into effect

The Sultan pull out his pen and signed, and handed it back to him. Then he said the following

“Now we go back to the Palace…to conduct our operations to prevent this fitna from spreading and getting worse.” Then he and the others went into awaiting convey of cars and they headed back to the palace..their base of operations.

At the Sultan Palace

As soon the Sultan cars pull up to the steps, the Grand Vizier, Faruq and the Sultan were quickly flank by a group of Imperial Black guardsmen led by Captain Imad Issa, the Captain looked over the three and muttered to himself, that if it wasn’t for the fact, it was his turn for garrison duty of palace, he could partaken in the action. The guards quickly escort the three into the palace; everything was on lockdown mode for the time being.

At the very moment, the Sultan and company stepped foot into the palace, the Sultan aids notifies him that his cabinet and heads of the arms forces were waiting in the main conference room, to conduct a emergency of the Cabinet, as per his request. The Sultan and the others quickly walk to the main conference room, when they enter the room all the cabinet ministers and heads of the arm forces rose up, in respect to the Sultan. The Sultan nodded for them to be seat, right at that moment, the Prime Minister and High Chancellor join the meeting and took their seats.

The Sultan opened the meeting

“Gentlemen we don’t have the luxury of time in fact we are running against time as of now…we have a fitna to prevent…we have to capture those behind these attacks and if we can’t prevent this fitna in time..then we have to precautions to insure that it doesn’t get out of hand…so give me your opinions on what to do gentlemen I am all ears.” Said the Sultan in calm control voice, despite the fact he was in very much in pain from his injuries, he didn’t display any of that…all his advisers, cabinet ministers and heads of arm forces saw was Sultan Bashir in complete control of himself and the situation. It was only matter of time, before he could no longer maintain this appearance…only a matter of time…

“Sultan, I have need your permission to deployed the Internal troops in the cities and key governments areas…since we can’t trust that all the local enforcement agencies…since some might be under the thumb of the factions for all we know.” said Minister of Internal Affairs Farhri Koruturk

“I concur Sultan, I recommend we declare a state of martial law for the Imperium…the stakes are too high as is.” Said Defense Minister Hassan Mustafa al Mwinyi

The Sultan though for moment and replied

“ The Internal troops have my permission to be deployed, as for martial law granted…only mobilized the home guard regiments, and reserve for this job, but not the standing arm forces units is that understood? Said the Sultan

“Completely.” Replied the Defense Minister

“So far we had no reports of mutiny within the arm forces is that correct?” asked the Sultan

Head of Arm Forces - Field Marshal of the Al Muslimeen Khailfah Army Huseyin Kivrikoglu and the sub heads of army, navy, air force and arm forces intellagence concur with the Sultan statement, and then the head of arm forces said the following

“Sultan, the arm forces have sweared their blood allegence to the Khailfah, you know that well enough…we have pruge the dissent elements sometime ago…rest assured you have no need to worry about munity from our ranks…we stand by you 100 percent and stand ready to assist in crushing this fitna as soon as possiable.” The other sub heads nodded in agreement

The Sultan smiled and said “ I am please to hear that my friends..now Minster of Intelligence, what’s your opinion on current events?” Asked Sultan

Head of Al Muslimeen Intelligence- Seyyed Zia'eddin Tabatabaee thought for moment before he say anything, and then he said the following

“Judging by their method of attack…and the latest intel reports…they been planning for this a long time…this is different set of factions..they had no part in 5th of November Incident…apparently our crackdowns and purges of the arm forces and Intel agencies have worked..they were unable to infiltrated those areas.. Just they were force to infiltrated the most lowest branch within our arm forces…the law enforcement agencies…they pick the perfect agency…we wouldn’t knew what hit us…but here’s the thing.. to get their men in place, that now must have taken time…we don’t deployed new officers to such high profile places…no these rouges were implanted for some time…I say eight years agos…I believe this was their backup plan…we got them against the wall now its time we finish off here and now. “ Then the Head of AMI pause for moment and said

“ We all know who did it…they were the ones who got up from their seats during your speech to Parliament today, Sultan…my agents have been watching them since they left the chamber..normally they just leave for their homes…but they stay in one group and head off to a local hotel..all of them ….does that strike you as odd? To us it does…we manger to bug their phones and we found they were masterminding this entire operation.. We just confirm it was them a few minutes before the this meeting started…my feelings about the that group is confirm…they are cabal working against the Imperium…all my agents need is a arrest warrant to take them down.” Said the Head of AMI

The Sultan put his hand on his forehead and remarked “They are not the masterminds..they just mere pawns..yet arresting a pawn is better then nothing…Minister of Justice, issued the arrest warrants, note gentlemen I want all 200 of these dissent ministers taken alive at all cost…whoever disobeys this order will beheaded for disobeying a direct order form the Sultan. Is that understood?”

Minister of Justice-Vizier Adem Koray Emin nodded in agreement and said” It shall be done, my Sultan, the arrest warrants will be issued within the hour and send the AMI for them to serve it.”

The Sultan nodded and said” Good…soon we may get our hands on the true masterminds..but it won’t happen that easy…we have work our asses for that big hit..for now..the next 48 hours will be most intense for us all..this next 48 hours will tell us if our efforts and crackdowns were not in vain.. but to think…all 50 ministers from the Labour party, 100 ministers from Hezbollah party and 100 from our own Unionist-Reformist party are in league with the factions, it hurts me that my own kinsmen would do such heinous crime against the their own brethren…now they will paid for it..with their lives…no mercy will be granted to them…period. This meeting of the cabinet is here by over..we will meet again in six hours time.” With that the meeting was over.

After all the cabinet ministers and the arm forces heads have filed out, then the Sultan, Grand Vizier, Faruq, Prime Minister and High Chancellor went to the Sultan office, the Sultan said the following

“Gentlemen, stay at yours home at all cost..don’t leave unless you have to same goes for your wives and children…I have already send my Imperial Black Guardsmen to keep watch over your families and yourselves…if anyone comes to for you and says that I send them to you…demand for them to produce a paper my signature and Imperial seal on it..and make them wait at the gates of homes, if they are not able to produce this paper” Then the Sultan shows them the paper with his signature and Imperial Seal,then he continue speaking “ shoot the fucker..because he is liky a hit man from the factions. That is all gentlemen…I need to collect my thoughts..hence I need to alone for now…I will call you back in a hour or so..intill then gentlemen dismissed!”

With that the officials left the office and left the Sultan alone in the office. After they left the office and close the door, the Sultan seat down on his leather and started to grasp for air, the pain was getting to him…he could no longer suppress it, he was about to black out. He manger to regain control for a minute and paged his secretary

“Anne…is Dr.Ioannis here yet?” asked the Sultan trying his best to suppress the overwhelming pain and the need to black out

“ He is on his way…he will be here in five minutes, Sultan..is everything alright, Sultan?” she asked

But Sultan didn’t replied, he black out, the pain was too much for his system, it couldn’t suppress for any long…mind over matter only works for so long.. and now his system was in a state of shock…

20 minutes later,

The Sultan woke up…he found himself on his office leather couch, the first thing he did was to rub his forehead and he look around..he saw Dr. Qasim Varinius Ioannis sitting a leather seat right across him..

The Doctor remarked

“Welcome back to the world of the living..you were out 20 minutes..”

“Agh..my body hurts…the pain…wait…20 minutes what the fuck..how long you been here?” said the Sultan

The Doctor look at his watch and remark “ 19 minutes or so…and your wondering why I didn’t attempt to wake you…simple…due to Imperial Conditioning and other factors …giving you a stimulant would be a very very bad idea.”

“I am…in bloody pain at the moment…I been stabbed, shot, kicked in my legs…and I been knockout for 20 minutes and your just sitting here….doing nothing…come on what the hell…agh..” Sultan rub his head once again

The Doctor rolled his eyes and remarked” Let me par phase it to you…your body is like a computer…and the way you been running it recently it has some major system errors pop up that are fuckin up its effectiveness…aka your mad suppression of your post traumatic stress and your on going physical pains with your legs nerves mess up,plus you can’t feel half your face…most of time…that really does a number to your system…and add top of that your heart condition, and then this recently attack…your bloody urge to suppressed the pain…your body just had a massive system overload and blackout, in order to reboot and try to correct your errors…hence why the pain hurts more as it should be...since those bloody mind over matter controls are now gone…besides your body had to correct itself, I can’t do anything that can fuck up the process so just I didn’t wake you…I had allow your body do it..”

The Sultan remarked “ Bloody hell…this pain is killing me…I need to restore those controls damn it…give me a minute..”

The Doctor looked him as if he was mad…” Damn it man have you lost your fuckin mind….the longer you suppress your pain the harder is it for your body to maintain…you been doing this for nearly since the Caucasus debacle….this is going to kill you damn it…ever wondered why your heart attack was so damn serious…it was because of your suppressing your pain and look at yourself god damn it…your bleeding, those bandages are not meant to heal those wounds, go to the god damn hospital and get some treatment damn it all…”

The Sultan smiled and said “ Its alright old friend…I will get treatment once this situation is over…in till them I’ll bear with it…it comes with the job old friend..and no bloody painkillers period.”

The Doctor sighed and remarked, “ You could never forgive your self for what happen in the debacle, you still feel guilt for what happen…thinking you should have died with them…just you suppress the pain to the point where your body can’t maintain it without serious posing major health risk to yourself all because you don’t want to forget the pain…in order for you to always to remember what happen that day…its killing you man…come to your fuckin senses and move on…you won’t last long if you keep this shit.. sure you can hide it for while …but it will get more apparent as time progress and it will take your life one way or another…as a doctor I strongly recommend you don’t suppress the pain…just bear it…but don’t suppress it…you have a family to think about it..your doing them more harm then yourself..think about it.”

The Sultan remarked “ Then what should I do accept the pain and live with it…accept the fact I it out of my control and those men die and it wasn’t my fault…maybe I should accept commission report on the matter finally it wasn’t my fault …it was the fault of that general…maybe its going to take time eh old friend?”

The Doctor nodded and said “ All things require time indeed…now get some treatment now god damn it…or at least get some treatment within the next 12 hours…”

“ I shall within the next 12 hours…but in till then I have a job to do…” said the Sultan

Then a Imperial Black Guardsmen enter the room “ Sultan, the Black Hawks are pose to raid the hotel…they will conduct the attack within the next five mintues.we have the live feed set up in the main conference room.”

The Sultan nodded and said “ I am on my way…well old friend its good bye for now..”

The Doctor nodded and said” Take care of yourself..” With that the Doctor left, along with the Imperial Black guardsmen

The Sultan got up with the support of his cane and he walked to his office desk and picked a picture which dated back right before debacle, it show him and the officers smiling. They all members of the vanguard regiment, and most of them were now dead.He remarked to himself “ Forgive for myself…I can’t do it…I should be dead like them…why did I make it out and they didn’t…how many more lessons of being humble must I have…nay I can’t forgive myself…but I must learn to live with it…I will never dishonor their memories…I can’t forget the pain …”

With that the Sultan walk out and head to the conference room.

As the Sultan walked thought hallways and passed the Imperial Blackguards that were keeping watches. He couldn’t help but wonder how things always end up like his..no matter how detail he planned for this, the unexpected always happens to nail him the hardest..and he was now paying for it…his wounds were aching more and more as time pass, but he just keep walking, just pressing on..he knew that he couldn’t allow himself to rest during this of fitna for his Imperium, this was time where his Imperium needed him the most. When he reached the main conference room, two Imperial Blackguards were standing watch.

He simply nodded to them and they open the door for him, the Sultan enter, already in the room was the Grand Vizier, High Chancellor, and the Prime Minister, they all stood attention as the Sultan enter the room. The Sultan just nodded to them and said” Be seated gentlemen.” Then everyone took their seats, including the Sultan. The Sultan rubbed his neck and look at the plasma flat screen which had a uplink set up to the AMI Black Hawk Strike teams.


The Grand Vizier broke the silence and said “ Sultan the teams are in position, and our field agents report that the targets have not move out of hotel since they entered. Also Flag Rank Commander Fadil will be maintain contact with the AMI Black Hawk Strike teams. He will be here in a few minutes.”

The Sultan nodded and said “Very well.”

Then at that moment, Flag Rank Commander Fadil, the second in command of the Imperial Black guards regiments enter the room, he nodded to the Sultan, the Grand Vizier, High Chancellor and Prime Minister, then he took his seat and type in a key code in the laptop which granted access to the uplink and soon the access was granted, the screen split in four separate screens which displayed each of the four strike teams that were in position. They saw whatever the teams saw, via the one of the members carrying a camera on his helmet.

The Commander nodded to the Sultan and company, and then he said “ Sultan all teams ready to strike…on your order.” And then the Commander turn on audio on

The Sultan took a deep breath and said “ All strike teams, are you here by given the go ahead, remember do not kill the ministers, repeated do not kill the ministers, they must be taken alive…if their guards pose a threat, then they are fair game..that is all.”

All the strike team leaders confirm the orders and begin to move into the hotel, from all directions.

“ I have a hard time believing that all 200 dissenting ministers are just sitting around in that hotel for no apparent reason..” remarked High Chancellor

“Yes…something is not right…it’s a bloody trap!” remarked the Prime Minister

“No, its not…as I said before they are just mere pawns in this cruel game we play with the factions time and time again..they are most likely awaiting for new orders or just ignorance of what’s going on around them..” remarked the Sultan

Then they went back to watching the screen and watched the teams move thought the hotel and encountering no resistant what so ever…they saw no one…something was just not right…then when they reached the hallways towards main conference room of the hotel. The Ministers bodyguards pop out of the woodwork, they were armed with assault rifles and begun shooting at the Black Hawk teams, the Black Hawks return fire at their foes…

“Bloody hell…the damn fuckers are armed to the teeth..” remarked Commander Fadil

“Its to be expected…. they would be fools not to have their bodyguards with them..its nothing our special forces can handle thought..” remarked the Sultan

They returned to watching the live feed, surely enough the Special Forces press ahead and overwhelm the bodyguards, all four teams rush into the conference room, and threw flash bangs and tear gas before taking down the remaining bodyguards. It was a one-sided blood bath, with the Black Hawks mowing down the bodyguards like they were nothing. When the smoke cleared, one could see all 200 dissent ministers on the floor with the Black Hawks watching over them with their guns pointed at them to make sure they didn’t anything rash.

Then something caught the Sultan eye, when the camera passes some documents that were lying on main table.

“Go back to that table, tell the officer to pick up the document and put it in front of the camera.” Said the Sultan

Commander Fadil nodded and issues the orders, with that the officers pick up the document and it read “ The agenda of this summit is the reformation KLM to a liberal democracy and the removal of the old order.”

The Sultan stopped reading after that point and remarked “ El Liberialine…El Liberialine…they are in league with them…”

“This keeps getting more and more worse…. doesn’t it?” remarked the Grand Vizier

“Interesting the Dariusians are in league with El Liberialine…how interesting…” remarked the High Chancellor

“No they are not in league with eachother, they just happen…to be have all the same timing…for their actions..they may be working together in one aspect of timing…but everything is they are on their own…more and more coming out of the woodwork…bloody hell..” remarked the Sultan, then he turned to the Commander

“ I want the entire area in lockdown mode, no one fuckin leaves…. have the AMI agents seize all the documents….also have them take the traitors to the holding cells…and have them interrogated, then bought to before the JAG Court, where their sentences for their crimes will be given by the Head JAG judges..that is all.”


The Commander nodded and sends the orders out

“Well as Faruk once said it…then everything is permit…and as we can see here…its certainly coming true..” said the Grand Vizier

“Indeed as I said the first 48 hours will be most wild….and its coming true…le Liberialine who the fuck else is going to come out of the woodwork I wonder…well gentlemen I will be gone for the next few hours…I promise a friend that I will go to the hospital and get these wounds treated correctly..I will be gone for few hours, if anything should arise I trust you, Grand Vizier to handle as if I would.” Said the Sultan

The Grand Vizier nodded in agreement. With that the Sultan left the room and heads off a secure army hospital in Delhi, to get his much need treatment. For now everything was silent…for now only..

Six hours later

The Sultan returned from the hospital, it was now night…the guards stood attention as the Sultan got out of the car and walked up the steps of the Palace with the support of his walking cane. Waiting at the top of the steps was the Grand Vizier; the Sultan just looked at him and said, “ Walk with me and report.”

The Grand Vizier nodded and walks with the Sultan into the Palace and though the hallways

“Well…my friend…nothing to report as of late, besides the fact our home guard regiments are getting into gun battles in some regions as to be expect, since the faction supporters are running wild…but we are in prefect control of the situation and rooting out those unstable elements as we speak….also our black hawk units are hot on the trail of those assassins who tried to kill us earlier today.. its only matter of time before we get them…what else ah yes…the Head JAG judge is reviewing the traitors case..he will issue their judgments by tomorrow morning.. For now they being held in a secure location..that’s all to report for now,my old friend…so how did the hospital go?” asked the Grand Vizier

“Eh…oh the hospital…bah…I spent the last six hours having doctors…patch me up…take out bullet fragments that medics missed…fixed up my side wounds..plus they manger to stabilize my bloody legs…now the pain for most part is gone…expect for minor pain on my sides from those deeps…I am just doing peachy..” replied the Sultan

“ That’s good to know..” remarked the Grand Vizier and then they reached the Sultan office and went in.

The Sultan look at his desk, it was full of papers, status reports and everything on the matter of how marshal law was taking effect.

The Sultan sighed and remarked “ I never wanted things to go this far.. I only wanted to reform this beloved Khailfah of ours to be more open to its people…making the elected government aspect more direct to the people and more able to have their say having to deal with a distant government…I press these reforms to kill any remaining aspects of nobility within our Imperium…finally to be rid of the elitist aspects of our Khailfah…make it more open to the common people…to hell with nobility…I want our government to be more compassionate to its people…not give them a cold fuckin shoulder should they be in need of our help…these reforms will cut red tape.. make the government open to the people…I start these reforms of openness nearly ten years ago…and look what it got me…pain and more pain..I don’t do it for myself…I do these reforms in order to insure that Khailfah has a more stable ruling system for future Khailfs…if I had it my way…I would have never been elected/appointed to this post…I would have retired from the arm forces and return to the quiet life in Antioch running my family business…but a last I was to be the Sultan and just here I am…what doesn’t kill me…makes go even more insane…bah..I said.” Said the Sultan bitterly

“Indeed…so it goes.” Said the Grand Vizier

“Yes…so it goes…I am not reforming this Imperium to become a republic or any of that liberal nonsense….I am just reforming it to allow the Imperium be more able direct for the people…in order to take out those blast nobility elements…or remove any hint of them in our fair Imperium….just I truly hope that this elected and appointed system of ours will more able to govern our Imperium in the long run since we remove some of the bloody red tape…”

“Well how effective these reforms will be remains to seen no…for now we just have manger things as they come..for now we have to deal with crushing these factions no?” replied the Grand Vizier

“How true..indeed my old friend.” The Sultan looked his watch and remarked “ I am best off to spend some time with my family haven’t seen for most the day…”

The Grand Vizier nodded and said” Same here…in till tomorrow my friend..salaam.”

“In till then old friend…salaam.” Said the Sultan

In the morning

The Sultan was setting on a marble bench out in the rose garden of the Palace; he wanted to be alone in order to think deeper about recent event…But events couldn’t permit Sultan to be alone, within 10 minutes of sitting down…the Grand Vizier came with news..

“My Sultan…I have some rather important news…” said the Grand Vizier

The Sultan look up to him and replied “ Very well…walk with me..” Then the Sultan got up with the support of cane, with that they start walking thought the pathways in the rose garden

“First item to be discuss, my Sultan…our black hawks have captured the assassins…including their leader…early this morning, we are currently interrogating them and once we get the information we need will execute them for their crimes against the Khailfah.” Said the Grand Vizier

The Sultan nodded and said “ Good to hear, go on..”

“Also our interrogations with the dissent ministers..have yield some unsettling results to say the least..” remarked the Grand Vizier

“Really..how so..” Remarked the Sultan, who was somewhat alarmed by the statement

“Well my Sultan…we jumped to the conclusion that all the dissent ministers were members of the El Liberialine…after much more investigation, a only 20 were actually members of that faction…the other 180..were members of different factions.. we caught them apparently when they were trying to organize themselves into a united front against us…lucky we manger to stop them…also apparently they weren’t able to come a consensus…judging by how things are turning out.. With no massive uprising or anything…they are still too unorganized..but still dissenting is the fact that they all came together…” said the Grand Vizier

“La…don’t underestimate the factions old friends…remember these ministers were mere pawns in this game we play with their masters….those unseen masters….one of these days we’re get our hands on them…and when that day comes….I will personal see that each one of them have their heart tear out of their crest and beheaded for their heinous crimes against the Khailfah…” said the Sultan

“Indeed old friend…we all long for that day..” said the Grand Vizier

Then the Sultan PDA/Cell Phone vibrated and the Sultan quickly pull it out and read the message…He smiled and said to Grand Vizier “ Head JAG Judge Saad al Hafez…he has made his ruling on the matter…after much reviewing of the evidence…the following sentences…as for the two ring leaders of the dissent ministers…death by beheading..and as for the other 198 ministers..mass hanging to be carried out by 10 o’clock tonight…open to the public. By order of the Judge Hafez...well old friend justice has been dealt.”

“Good good…now we can pull that behind us and press on to other matters…which reminds me my Sultan…the Ministers of Trade and Industries, Ministers of Treasury and the Minister of Economics have reported that the foreign investors are beginning to withdraw their investments from the Imperium in light of recent events….our ministers request to know how much longer will marshal law last..” said the Grand Vizier

The Sultan thought for moment and said “ Given the latest reports…and information…marshal law shall be lifted by midnight tonight…. since the threat is gone for the most part.. Besides they are mostly underground…now its the job for the AMI and their hit men to hunt down these rats..”

“Indeed my old friend..soon we’re make them paid..”said the Grand Vizier

The Sultan nodded and sighted, then said “ This game we play with factions…is just another element of ruling…there will always be those who will oppose you…and a few of them will try by any means necessary to take you out…struggle is aspect of life that you must deal with it…if you give up during these times hardship you damn everyone around…just you must follow this logic in order to live another day…kill or be killed…your inhumanity is your humanity…heh, does this mean I am insane old friend?” asked the Sultan

The Grand Vizier looked at the Sultan, his old friend and said “ No my friend…your not insane…your just a man like me….who just forced to things he doesn’t want to …but has to for the stake of stability of the Khailfah…and keep the factions in line…as you once said it comes with the job…so just deal with it.”

“ Indeed how true….lets go into the Palace…the Prime Minister and High Chancellor will be here soon..we have much to discuss…such as having new elections for the Majiles…and our plan of reforms for the them to enact…”remarked the Sultan, with that walk out of the rose garden and headed back to the Palace.

Shortly after the Sultan meeting with the Prime Minister and High Chancellor…

In the Sultan office

The Sultan was discussing matters with the Grand Vizier, mainly about the future and some other matters..

“Well we’re have elections in 30 days for the Majiles…and just the House of Viziers and Parliament are now default…officially…congratulations old friend…the fruits of our labor are finally coming to bear.” Said the Grand Vizier

The Sultan smiled and said” Indeed old friend now…we must plan according..I have to start appointing quiet few of the Viziers to new post within the Imperium…since a good number won’t run for seats in the Majiles…most of them will become new Judges for certain regions of the Imperium…besides most of them are highly quality for the post of Judge..they have degrees and written many books on Fiqh..besides it’s the perfect job for men of their capabilities…it would be a waste of talent not to assigned them to these post…”

“Indeed, beside we need a few more skilled judges to be place in the dominions and frontier regions…in order to insure that justice and correct method of ruling is being applied to those regions..in order to make them more stable and loyal to the Khailfah.” Said the Grand Vizier

The Sultan looked at his computer screen for moment and remarked, “ Yea, we have enough Viziers to fill in the vacant post we currently have for some of the regions…besides our Imperium needs more jurist to enact and enforce the law of Khailfah…but its up to them to accept my appointment offer…but still a good of Viziers will go into political retirement and do other things…in the private sector, like my brother Aziz and my other cousins..”

“Indeed so it goes…aye we get to keep a cadre of skill officials to insure our reforms get enacted correctly..”said the Grand Vizier

“Indeed…we need highly skilled system of judges to insure that our legal system is stable and strong..and to keep ourselves in check..the courts are our failsafe old friend, they must pro active and knowledge in order keep the thought process alive.” Said the Sultan

“How true…my father and grand father were both well know jurist for Sarajevo and surrounding regions…they grilled my brothers and I about the need to learn and understand fiqh..I am thankful for that..so yes my old friend appointing these Viziers to be judges will insure that the future generations will taught in our schools of thought..which is very important for running and maintaining stability for our state..” said the Grand Vizier

The Sultan nodded and said “ To hold the post of Judge is no laughing matter..it is one of the most important post within the Imperium…they are ones that make judgments that will effect the Imperium as whole…just I only appoint those who I believe are best qualify for the job…to hell that idea of spoil system…who came up with idea was fuckin moron..in my personal opinion..” Then the Sultan looked the clock and said “ So much time in till the executions begin…so what now?”

The Grand Vizier shrugged and said “ I dunno…we already our cabinet meeting..the latest status reports have reviewed…I say check in with Anne then…”

The Sultan agreed and ask his secretary, she replied a number of advisers were there to see and discuss some matters of state..

The Dead of Night

New Delhi Gallows

It was 9:50 PM and in ten minute time, the death sentences will be carry out for the 200 traitors all ex-ministers, 198 ministers will be hanged and two will behead by the Sultan personally. A rather large group of people had gather to see the justice in action. At the same time a large number of Imperial Black Guardsmen keep guard and searched every person that came into see the event. Everything was death quiet, no one said a thing..they just watched and waited for it to happen.

By 9:58 PM, the guards bought out the traitors, they had black hoods and were marched up to the gallows, the gallows were signed for massive executions of criminals, but 198 executions at the same time was unheard of…yet it was JAG order, just the Gallows personal expand the capacity of gallows to meet JAG requirements. The Guards silently put on the hangman’s knot on the traitors necks..at the same time, the two ring leaders of the cabal were bought out, they also had on black hoods and force to their knees. They were bought before the Sultan and Grand Vizier, both men had their swords in hand, they silently waited for the clock to hit 10:00 P.M. When the clock hit 10:00 P.M right on the dot, like clockwork the executions happen…all 198 traitors were hanged at once, and the swords of the Grand Vizier and Sultan quickly beheaded the ringleaders all at once. Just the deed was done within a matter of moments, soon after the guards cut down the bodies from the rope and systemically beheaded them. Then the guards put the traitor heads on pikes, this was the punishment for their crime…to be publicly executed and have their heads on public display.

As for the fate of the hit men they were all behead for their crimes of attempted assassination on the Sultan and Grand Vizier..With that the last roadblocks to Sultan Bashir reforms were removed in 30 days time a new government will be elected and then Bashir reforms will be truly enacted. But at what cost was the question that laid in the air, was it worth it after all this…the answer to that was…everything had its price, and this had the most bitter price the cost was the Sultan sanity…

Two weeks later

At the Sultan Office

“ So we have peace now…. peace such a relative term for this Imperium…yes we caught the bad guys and justice was carried out..yes…we rid the Imperium of evil cabal….yes we took care of the traitors…yes now we can move on to new stability for the Khailfah…yes now we can enact those wonderful reforms that we always want to do…but what is the reality of the situation…in reality…we have no peace with ourselves or with the outside world..there will be no peace for this strange nation of ours…what is reality of the situation? Heres the bloody reality of the situation…200 puppets killed that day.. why…because the situation called for it…if we hadn’t taken care of those troublemakers…they would have spreads seeds of civil war throughout the Imperium and millions upon millions will be dead…so 200 then to millions…I call that a good bargain ..but what’s problem with this you ask yourself..simple we only killed the puppet…but the puppet masters who sting them up is still out and most likely going to strike again…so you tell me do we truly have peace or do we just have the calm before the storm? That is the question you should be really asking yourselves then to why we were so harsh on those 200 puppets…”said Sultan

“But at what cost…you killed 200 people all within one day of the attacks taking place…..you order their deaths…in such rush matter…all your critics are saying you are becoming iron fisted and rash in your actions…so they were pawns why not milked them for information then to just kill them off in such rushed matter..its even barbaric…have we lost our freakin minds or what?” asked Adviser Zoë, formerly Empress Zoe of Romulan Imperium, now turned public opinion adviser


The Sultan stoic expression didn’t change, he simply looks at his old friend Faruq, who just shake his head.

“Well…well…so I ordered their deaths….how could that be possible…it was the judgment of the head JAG judge of the Imperium for them to be execution for high treason against the Khailfah..wasn’t it a rushed judgment…no I didn’t order their deaths…I only carried out the judgment as per my duties as the Sultan..there is rational logically reason for every action..so my critics are saying that I am iron fisted and acting rash..well well people judge on emotional stances then to logical methods of thought…next thing you know they will call me weak minded for not being tough enough on some matter…its just another name for the week…who say we didn’t milked them for information before we kill them off…so its barbaric now eh…good to know eh Faruq?” remarked the Sultan

Faruq smiled and said “ To whom is this appears barbaric..oh don’t answer I already know the answer to that..it’s the fact we don’t act western in the regards …well to anything…we are our own mindset and believes that are not like their own..just we are …barbaric…nothing but those damn dirty backwards ass Arabs from the sands of Arabia who have yet to enter their version of the modern world..meh its all in the eye of beholder my dear…so admit my dear that’s what you meant when you say barbaric..”

Zoë remarked” No…I didn’t mean that way…I mean it..”

“Ah that way…yet she does still implies that we are still them backwards apes…good job my dear..” remarked Faruq

Zoë bitterly smiled at Faruq and said “ Oh same old Faruq jumping conclusions aren’t we…but the question still stands have we lost our minds or what?”

The Sultan smiled resentfully and lean forward to Zoë and said “ Some say the conditions we are in make us appear to mad or insane…it’s the fact we are pushed against the wall and only are present two options…one to do nothing or two do something that may seem rash and illogically to some, but perfectly logically and rational to you….certain situations call for actions that may seen insane…but make perfect sense for the situation..YOU must able to handle that situation…it may seem your going mad but in reality..you are acting accordingly if you don’t the situation will cause great harm and take your life….don’t you dare judge my actions on that high horse of yours…you don’t know the prices we pay for keeping the Khailfah stable and keep the factions in line…its very a high price my dear….but its worth it…stability over chaos…yet who are we fooling…to think that actually works…this fitna has just begun…the rock is rolling down hill and gaining speed…its up to me to stop it and its going to be hard to say the least.”

“ I see…I believe there is nothing else for now..my Sultan.” Remarked Zoë

“Indeed..your dismiss.. in till tomorrow…adviser..” said the Sultan with that Zoë left the room

Then the Sultan pull out a rather large folder from his desk and throw it on the desk and remarked “For six long months…we been watching those 200 traitors ..the AMI and the JAG courts were building the case against them.. for once it seem we had the upper hand…for once we might have gotten the masters by following the pawns..they say we just rush their trial…but in reality we had all the proof we needed…all that summit did was seal the case against them…we were so close to getting at the heads of factions….we could have taken all out in one shot…all we needed was one more month…but no…the fuckers manger apparently to get the heads up and force us prematurely to act…and all we net is a bunch of pawns which we had to get rid of or they would have use them to set the sparks for civil war…so score one for the good guys and score two for the bad guys.. eh Faruq?”

“Indeed they are always seem to be one step head of us…but if didn’t act during that time…we’re be damn if we didn’t and still we are damn for doing something..which we had to do..that is the nature of the game we play with them..but that doesn’t mean we give..it means we just find new ways of getting back at them…as I said then everything is permit…this is no holds bar match…lets throw everything we have at them..but we must do it smartly…we can’t act or appear rash…we can’t afford that..we must do it very very carefully..” said Faruq

The Sultan looked out the window and remarked “ They force us to act prematurely…now its time we make them act prematurely…”
