Two hours until reaching British Londinium

Queen Hannah looked out the window of the plane. It was a bright sunny day for traveling and just siting down doing nothing but her duties as Queen was to met nation leaders. The plane suffered terrible turbulence and Hannah couldn't stand any longer. Only a few hours before they landed and got off in British Londinium. She wondered where her husband and Cpt.Wall were she knew they were playing cards she laughed to herself and put back on her ear phones.

"I am going to hate our stay here." The Cptain said as he and Lord Sumguy sat down next to the Queen. "I don't trust the Londinians in the slightest.

"I know what you mean." The Hegemon said next to him, "They do seem rather intent upon harming those who would show them goodwill."

PAFB Weston Zoyland, British Londinium

Cold rain drizzled upon the austere military airbase north of Kensington; nestled in the foothills of the imposing Mt Nyx, Weston Zoyland, home to the First and Second Air Wings, afforded a certain amount of privacy for incoming foreign officials that Kensington International Airport could not. It was here that the Londinian government would receive Lord Sumguy and Queen Hannah; they were well prepared for the occasion. It had long been the philosophy of the late Alistair Davidson that the best way to welcome foreign leaders to British Londinium was to shock and awe them into reverence for the People's Sovereign Republic, and the current consul had listened to Sir Alistair well. Two regiments of the Consular Guard stood on the tarmac in parade uniform, their black-gloved hands loosely holding their polished assault rifles in marching positions.

Consul James Azzopardi stood rigidly in front of his soldiers, sans umbrella, allowing the chilly droplets to wash over him, as his Foreign Minister, Cecilia Belladini, stood next to him. "Ms Belladini, I expect you to represent the People's Sovereign Republic well during this state visit," Azzopardi said frigidly. "I expect you to show these Hegemonic troglodytes just how superior we are to them."

"Of course, Hetære Consulere," the Foreign Minister replied promptly. "I shall conduct myself with a manner befitting a Londinian and a Foreign Minister."

They awaited the landing of the royal aircraft.

The plane landed Hannah breathed deeply and got up from her seat. Her new royal secretary Sir Issac Royal who was an annoying person to the Queen walked over to her and took out an umbrella and carried it for her until they went outside. The door opened and Queen Hannah and Lord Sumguy walked out followed by Cpt.Wall and Sir Issac.

The Queen opened her umbrella and walked towards Consul Azzopardi he gave off a feeling which the Queen didn't like. In some ways the Queen missed Consul Davidson who had a great smile to all of his guests and the last time she saw him was at the ball with other world leaders. She sighed abit and continued walking until she was face to face to Consul Azzopardi and woman she didn't know.

"Hello Consul Azzopardi I so glad to meet you. Where are we off to?"

"I'm sorry to say that I will be unable to accompany you on your tour, ma'am," the Consul replied stiffly. "But I am confident that my Foreign Minister, Ms Cecilia Belladini, will serve as a more than capable guide through Kensington."

"Pleasure to meet you both," the Foreign Minister said as the Consul finished, gesturing towards a black limousine. "The people of British Londinium are honored with your presence. If you would follow me, we'll get you off to your accommodations."

"Very well then. It's a pleasure to meet you Ms.Belladini". The Queen got into the limousine followed by Sir Issac, Cpt.Wall and Lord Sumguy. The Queen took off her hat and started to talk with Ms.Belladini. "After we are settled where shall we go next?"

"Quite a few armed men here." Cpt. Wall said to Lord Sumguy as they exited the plane. "They are trying to intimidate you."

"They will have some trouble with that." The Hegemon responded. "As the most intimidating person i have ever met is my bodyguard, and even a whole troop of soldiers can't match you for inspiring fear."

Both men laughed at this as they approached the Consul. "Thank you for the extra security, but are so many soldiers really neccesary?" Lord Sumguy said amiably, shaking the man's hand.

"Our first destination will be the Hôtel Internacionale, ma'am, where you can unpack your bags and settle in. From there, you can select any location from these travel guides (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12842943&postcount=21) to the city," Belladini said, handing two orange pamphlets to both Lord Sumguy and Queen Hannah.

"Wellington Palace looks like a good place to go first and city hall second. Has security needs and such been taken cared of?" The Queen gave her travel guide to Sir Issac and then Cpt.Wall to look over.

"The Exchequer and City Hall? As you wish, though I might recommend some more...scenic locations. But, you needn't worry about security. The Kensington Metropolitan Police has been mobilized and is fully dedicated to your security."

"Ms.Belladini if you have a problem with those places speak up now. The one thing I don't like about people is the people who don't share what is best so speak up". Queen Hannah checked her bag and waited for an answer.

"Ma'am, it is not my place to dictate where you go - this is your royal tour," Cecilia said coldly. "I was simply hinting at the fact that both the Exchequer and City Hall are mostly offices."

"Then Ms.Belladini it is your job on this royal tour to tell me about that. Now lets go on to the hotel I have some calls to make first before we do anything else". The Queen could see she wouldn't get along with Ms.Belladini on the tour.

"Then Ms.Belladini it is your job on this royal tour to tell me about that. Now lets go on to the hotel I have some calls to make first before we do anything else". The Queen could see she wouldn't get along with Ms.Belladini on the tour.

"As you wish, ma'am," the Foreign Minister said as the limousine pulled to a stop in the circular drive of the hotel. "Here we are."

The Queen quickly opened the car door followed by her husband,Cpt.Wall and her secretary went into the hotel. The Queen waited for Ms.Belladini to enter.

"I will not be joining you inside, as I too have...calls...to make," the Foreign Minister. "But here is your room number and key."

"Thank you Ms.Belladini". The Queen took the keys and led her four companions to there rooms.

OOC: Sorry I haven't been on lately I've been busy but hopefully I cna start back the tour.

"This is a nice room." Lord Sumguy said, laying down on a bed and stretching out.

"I will be in the next room, tell me if you see or hear anything suspicious." The Captain said as he left, throwing a small device to Lord Sumguy, who caught it.

OOC: BL could a you try an attemped assasination these tours are getting quite boring now.

"Well The Kensington Metropolitan Police have been asked to be are security though out the tour but I still don't feel safe. Both nations haven't had the best relationship in the past so I do hope everything is taken cared of while we are here".

The Queen had already unpacked and had made her way to the phone. She quickly called Buckingham Palace and talked to her daughter who was staying there with some nannies. After the Queen jumped into bed and looked over the room. "Has Cpt.wall made sure everything is safe here?"

"Yes." came a voice from the two-way radio, Lord Sumguy had caught. "You might want to close the curtains though, I'm watching the nearby buildings but might not spot a sniper before he gets a shot off." Captain Wall said, using the infrared scope on his rifle to sweep the street below and neighboring building.

Queen Hannah quickly got up and closed the curtains. She was too scared to take any chances with the lives of her husband,bodyguard and secretary. She sat back done and waited for Ms.Belladini to arrive back at the hotel.

Hôtel Internacionalé
Kensington, British Londinium

A tall, slim man leaned casually on the marble wall next to the service entrance to the hotel, smoking a thin cigarette as he waited for his associate.

A few moments later, another man, this one stockier, approached, walking briskly towards the first.

"Oi, thanks for showing up, mate," the first man said sarcastically. "Five minutes late."

"It was the Metro, not me," the second countered. "You know how crowded it is."

"Yeah, whatever. You got the guns?"

"Do I have the guns? Of course I do," the second man replied, opening his trenchcoat to reveal two Heckler & Koch HK416 assault rifles.

"Then let's do this."

The two men quietly crept up to Lord Sumguy and Queen Hannah's room, indicating their readiness to proceed with a donning of a black ski mask and a cocking of their assault rifles.

They forcefully kicked down the doors, unleashing a spray of lead at Captain Wall, Lord Sumguy, and Queen Hannah.

Queen Hannah saw what happened she screamed and fell off her chair. She had no weapons to defend herself. She cried out to both men begging them ot to do what they were planning to do. She wepted as she thought this might be her last minutes alive. She then heard the sound of gunshots opening up in the room; she thought of it awhile and knew she had to do it to protect herself and her husband. Loaded with her cellphone she came out of hiding and ran to a already opened closet. She ran but she felt a sharp pain hit her in her arm. She continued to ran as she dared not turn around and check what had happened to her. She quickly fell in and closed the door she had planed to use up the small time in the closet to dial the police but she checked the area where she felt pain and to her shock blood covered it. She had been shot like a bird during hunting season and could barely dial the numbers. She put down the phone tried her best to make sure the two men would never get into the But here's how I would do it now closet.

OOC: They, er, already opened fire.

OOC: I'll edit it.

OOC: I have to laugh at BL's idea of making a royal tour more interesting. Pure genius man, pure genius

OOC: Captain Wall is in the next room....

IC: Lord Sumguy dove behind one of the beds, taking a bullet in his arm in the process. He pulled a .50 cal. Desert Eagle handgun out of the holster under his jacket and fired seven shots at his attackers. Less than three seconds after the first gunshots, Captain Wall appeared in the doorway brhind the two men and emptied the clip of his own rifle at their backs from four feet away.

OOC2: My last post for the night.

OOC:She's in the closet by the way.

Queen Hannah heard more gunshots coming from all over the place hiting into the closet door scaring her half to death. After a few minutes Queen Hannah knew she must defend herself even if it would kill her. Armed with only the training of martial arts Queen Hannah struggled to get up but manged. She opened the door and went after one of the men knowing she could be dead in a minute.

OOC: Due to the fact that a state of war exists between BL and the UK2, and I hardly think its fair to have your leader trapped in my country during that, how about we declare this thread void?

OOC: I'm not responding to any bloody war so it was a waste to do that. I'm busy so it's waste of time and I'm not in the bloody mood right now so don't even fucking bother with that right now.
