Very few beings were of enough interest or importance to catch the attention of the Supreme Ruler of Heaven, Imperator Deva. But in hindsight, both Iona and Eclipse Princess were neither dull or unexceptional, each of them demanding attention by their mere presence. And so it was that the grand halls of her chambers were filled with many witnesses to view Princess' trial. The Imperator sat upon her throne, eyes scanning the crowd, though she did not need sight to sense who was among her judgement today. Torag and Omega were just a few of the faces she took note of, though the absense of Miyu made her eyes narrow. A meeting between leaders would have to be called for, and in fact, High Queen Eos and King Rufus were already on their way to the meeting point.

Only she was stuck dealing with domestic issues, and that was all thanks to a certain trouble-maker in purple-clad armor. Rumors were abound that the warrior known as Eclipse Princess was perhaps more powerful than the Imperator herself, and that even Iona held some ancient, forbidden techniques. But until all three of them entered the battlefield, that rumor would not be put to the test. Well then, the sooner they get this done, the sooner she could prepare herself for the coming debate. [color=gold]"Stand before me Eclipse Princess,"[/color] came the booming voice of the Imperator, resonating enough to silence any and all noise. [color=gold]"Stand so that you may be judged in the view of Heaven Almighty."[/color]

Iona excused herself for a moment as she left Torag and Omega, pushing Princess' back as the Imperator called for the unruly warrior. [color=daa520]"You heard the Imperator, move your feet before I move them for you."[/color] The Archangel said as Princess was compelled forth by a force unseen. Once they reached the tribune, Iona stood silently, behind Princess ready for any trick the younger being could try.

On the other hand, Princess only grumbled, forced to move before she could tell Omega to eat his own hat. That's what she was sure he would be dong if he came to try and get her, well but it just had to be Iona of all people, the one who works right under the wings of those high up there powers that seem to use the Nexus as their personal entertainment. Either way, Princess was forced to walk, wondering if that was part of the Imperator's power, perhaps to have such a commanding presence. No that she cared anyway. [color=9400d3]"What are you bringing me here for? If it's to kneel before you like a dog, you can go suck it."[/color] Were the first words to leave Princess' mouth in a long while, followed with, [color=9400d3]"I'll only fight when I want to. You can't force me."[/color] As well as a glare direct at the Imperator. Most of the ones present at the court gasped in surprise at the sheer lack of respect that one of their own was showing for the Imperator, though they didn't knew why Princess was like that. If they did, probably they would think otherwise... maybe.

But to add on to their shock for the day, the Imperator did not flinch away from such harsh and disrespectful words. If anything, a smirk of amusement crept upon her face at Princess' violent outburst, the Imperator crossing her legs as she looked down upon the one at trial. [color=gold]"Is that so? I'm sure many of your former comrades would like to go against that statement. After all, you fought for us numerous times in the past. Why then, have you chosen to abandon your own kind? You have abandoned your friends, your livelihood...and your family."[/color]

The Imperator waited a few seconds for those words to sink in before continuing with, [color=gold]"Truly you really are cruel to have abandoned her without restraint or reasoning [i]Juno[/i]. Perhaps the rumors are true and you do have the heart of a demon. I can't imagine what it must be like to have one's own mother so blatantly leave them without shelter to the battlefront. Have you no shame or remorse?"[/color] she asked, murmurs going through the crowd now with heated glares sent Princess' way. Whether she wanted to defy the Imperator or not didn't matter, because now the crowd was against Princess all the more.

[color=9400d3]"Leave her out of this!"[/color] Princess, or better, Juno sent a truly vicious glare towards the Imperator for even bringing the notion of that person on this matter. [color=9400d3]"She has nothing to do with all this. I left because there was something that I needed to do, but I don't expect you of all people to understand it."[/color] In fact, the notion of what Juno tried to accomplish was a heresy in and of itself. Trying to defy the established order of this world for some purpose that only she was aware of was not exactly the most appealing cause ever. Princess really didn't expected anyone to understand her, expect, of course that person the Imperator spoke about.

[color=9400d3]"It's not even like I don't want to fight for you..."[/color] Juno grumbled under her breath, eyes flashing with an untold power that shook the whole chamber, as Iona forced her to face the Imperator and the remainder of the audience directly.

[color=gold]"Hmm, I think we all prefer to see your actions rather than listen to your words,"[/color] the Imperator said, unfazed by the aura of power that was building off of Princess. If anything, she countered it with her own pressure, the duel forces fighting for control in the chamber room. [color=gold]"In any case, I will not harm her so long as we have your entitled assurance that you will fight for us once more. Should you choose to plan your own dealings again...well, I can't insure that she won't be captured in the middle of battle,"[/color] the Imperator said ominously before lifting up her boot. [color=gold]"Now then, show me your loyalty Eclipse Princess. The sooner you do so, the sooner you can get through your interrogation. After all, you've been no doubt traveling far and wide across the Nexus. We want to make sure you're not hiding any more secrets from Heaven's Eyes,"[/color] the Imperator finished with a gleam in her eye.

[color=9400d3]"Y-you can't do that."[/color] Princess said with a legitimate tinge of fear on her voice. She didn't feared for herself, not at all, but the notion of having that person captured in one of the Nexus' battles made her freeze in place, the aura of rage she previously exuded disappearing all at once. [color=9400d3]"You know what that means, don't you?"[/color] The audience gasped in unison as these words that sounded more like a plea left Princess' mouth. It looked like the Imperator had succeed in subjugating yet another threat by the power of her words alone, even if some of the present didn't knew what they were talking about.

[color=9400d3]"Grr! You are a dirty woman, you know that?"[/color] Princess bit her lips in rage as she was forced to her knees, and left without any option of what to do but kiss the Imperator's divine feet, the perfection of which was too dazzling to the eyes of lesser beings such as the Machina and the Demons.

[color=gold]"Very good. I knew you were a sensible woman after all Juno,"[/color] the Imperator said with authority. With a nod, she motioned for Iona to lead Princess out of her sight and towards the lowest point of their heavenly domain, the place in which all captives were brought forward. But for someone as elusive as Eclipse Princess, the Imperator had pulled a few strings to obtain the precious time of one individual who she knew would instill obedience and loyalty into this rogue. With that in mind, the Imperator turned to the commanders of the Battle of Ruthria, beckoning them forward so that they may speak to her.

Further and further into the dark depths would Princess be led until at once she was brought to a mighty dungeon. And standing in front of said dungeon was a smirking [url=http://i.imgur.com/FZU9CWn.jpg]girl[/url] that could no doubt even bring the mighty Eclipse Princess to a tremble. [color=a187be]"Oh my, and what do we have here? I knew Deva said she needed my time for something, but I never imagined I'd be meeting you J.U.N.O."[/color]

[color=9400d3]"Hmm..."[/color] Juno decided to stay silent this time, after being forced to adore the feet of the Imperator in front of all of the Heavenly hosts  there wasn't much that she could say, after all. She had been defeated once again by those who follow the will of the ones above even the rulers of the Nexus themselves. Though the day when Juno would do it would come, that was for sure. What she couldn't anticipate was who would be waiting for her at Juno's usual cell, the eyes of the spatial warrior, who was technically one of the valkyrie-kind as well, widening in shock as she was faced with the smiling face of Marianne, the Angel of Death itself, the only being that could judge who would or not die permanently on the Nexus.

[color=9400d3]"You, what are you doing here?"[/color] Was all that Juno asked before the door was closed behind her, leaving only she and Marianne on the cold, damp [url=https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/Marianne_and_Juno]cell[/url] that sealed the greater part of Juno's power.
