Diana’s Brutal Reality – Reactions – Outskirts of Amone (Sept. 9th)

---

As the time passed Diana, was back sitting down looking at her pendant necklace with a bit of regret in her eyes. In terms of blankly starring as if she was lost in her thoughts about what happened earlier and remembered what Michael had said. She couldn’t really focus until she felt the train come to a complete stop for some odd reason. The thing that snapped her from her thoughts and starring at her pendant necklace was a person ordering them to disembark. ”Great.. Don’t tell me that the ‘Captain Asshole’ is going to tell us somethings about what we are doing here or something.” Diana thought to herself with a bit of an annoyed look on her face.

She quickly put her hair back in a chignon bun, which was tightly put together and put the helmet back on her head. In terms she walked out of the cabin in question and got off the train to the murkiness of outside. She couldn’t help but feel a bit down when seeing the murkiness of the situation, which she did brighten up since she saw most of the people from her platoon especially Jean. However, she heard Captain Middleton speak about orders and where they were specifically are in terms of Amone. ”Why is he smoking at a time like this or is this what all officers in the military do? That’s nice we are going to be split in squads and Jean is going to be the leader of one of the squads.” Diana thought with mixed feelings mostly at what the Captain was wearing and doing while he spoke. However, she was still terrified of Middleton since he reminds her of the Donster family, which are really rich in Castleton’s surrounding area.

Diana blinked a bit when Middleton told them they will be getting new uniforms from the old one previously. It made her a bit worried, however, he did give her directions to get the new uniform. The Stores Tent, which was an important place in getting a new uniform. She sighed in relief when she saw Middleton leave and couldn’t really handle anymore of him anyway. In every bone of her body could relax a bit from the outright displeasure of being in the presence of Middleton’s assholic behavior. ”I’ll definitely go there since it’ll be useful. I wish he had a care in his body so he wouldn’t be such an asshole.” Diana thought to herself. She just rolled her eyes since Captain Middleton would probably never try to care about people.

---

In terms of everything, she arrived to the stores tent and asked one of the people in question about the new uniform. She was given her new uniform and told about the cubical in question to change. She walked in there and changed into her new uniform. This uniform compared to the old one was definitely felt more comfortable at least. It was an improvement over what was possible for uniform. She couldn’t help but smile at the uniform in question, in terms it fit her eye color mostly. The blue of the uniform matched pretty nicely with her outlook or really her style in question. She loves wearing blue dresses when she was at home before the conscription, however.

Diana was a bit happier, she waited for a few minutes before she finally stepped out and went to grab the rest of her gear. Since she kinda forgot the rifle on the train, which was kinda stupid to do. It took her a few minutes to reach where everyone was, in terms of Jean and the others of the Squad 1. She listened carefully to what Jean was speaking about, which helped her understand the reason why they were at Amone. It was a liberation attempt, which felt honorable in her heart. ”Squad 1 is a simple name. So Michael and Gwyn has to get rid of the supply tunnels, that’s nice.” Diana thought to herself with a smile on her face. She couldn’t help but feel that this is going to hell nonetheless, which will be in a different setting instead of a hill it’ll be in a city. In terms of everything, was said the city part scared her a bit.

She heard the two questions from Jean and smiled gently towards him. ”Jean, I do understand crystal clear. Thank you for explaining things.” Diana responded to his questions. However, when Jean patted her back kinda made her a bit hesitant about the thing. In terms of everything it made her feel a bit happier. ”Worried about something Jean?” Diana asked, curiously. She wanted to say something more but it wouldn’t be a good idea to outburst now since she needs to calm herself, but the boredom didn’t really help. The entirety of the thing was a bit funny of why she asked that. ”I think he’s worried about my outbursts. I wouldn’t want to kill anyone over him. Even though he’s so sweet and I ‘want him’ so badly.” Diana thought to herself with a gentle smile on her face. She wondered what her parents would think about her platoon mates anyways.

Diana was lost in thought and was continued to march until they got to the Clearance area to watch the Charge of the Cavalry. She was pulled back from her thoughts and looked at the Cavalry about ready to charge the Imperial position. The entire moment felt like the world stopped in front of her, while she watched the entire thing. In abject horror, she couldn’t help but feel outright helpless to see the Cavaliers being cut down by machine gun fire. She cried at the sadness at what she saw, the entire cavalier division was wiped out. In terms of everything, she couldn’t believe the high command would allow this slaughter to happen. ”They are bastards for allowing this to happen… this is outright awful.” Diana thought to herself in tears of what she saw. She overheard everyone speak around her and heard Isaac reassured them they won’t be sacrificed.

The one thought that came to her that she had her squad here to help her to get back alive to her family. She looks towards Isaac. ”We should all make it back home after this bloody war is over. Thanks Isaac for that because the ’Captain’ is a heartless bastard.” Diana said towards Isaac. She couldn’t help but overhear the conversation between Jean, Kalisa and Reyna. The thought of learning about Reyna’s home in Vinland would probably calm herself down from what she saw in terms of that slaughter. She walked over to Jean and the others and smiled happily. ”This was awful… but what’s your home like? Mine is a pretty cute two story home of people of bakers, the New Vastergoth Bakery is in the center of Castleton.” Diana injecting into the conversation between Jean, Kalisa and Reyna. In terms of that she remembered her older sisters outright being cruel to her, the one thing she doesn’t want to go home to. ”Why does Astra and Susan have to be so mean to me...” Diana whispered to no one in particular about her family problems. In terms it was only loud enough for Reyna to hear her whisper, which she was closer to.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Responding to everyone – Train to Amone

---

Diana smiled at Gwyn when he introduced himself and realized that he was a sapper with what he said. She nodded at with what he said, which made her a bit relaxed even though her smile is a bit lessened in forgetting about writing her parents. ”That’s a nice name Gwyn. And I will definitely give you a call. My name is Diana Elana Vastergoth by the way, it is nice to meet you.” Diana said, with a smile on her face. She moved her head when she saw the new guy approach them, in terms of Luke.

She waved at Luke for a greeting, since he did introduce himself to everyone. ”Good to meet you Luke, it’s nice you are a new recruit. Yeah what everyone else said is true you are finally reached your destination of the 15th Atlantic Rifles.” Diana said, with a smile. She moved her eyes to Michael, which answered her question and she was completely baffled. It took her a few minutes to collect herself. However, she’s happy to answer his question, however, since she had a smile on her face.

Diana was thinking on what to say but one thought passed her whole being, which she wanted to say. The entirety of the situation was a bit shocking to hear what she heard from Michael. ”Wait, your that old? But you look like your ten. I’m a single year younger than you. I live in Castleton, Edinburgh. My parents own the New Vastergoth Bakery up there, it’s a wonderful place to go to get some bread.” Diana said, with a bit of shock in her voice. She couldn’t help but be shocked at what she heard. It was a bit shell shocked, which he’s a year older than her and in a university if it wasn’t for this war. However, the only thing that annoyed her was the title of her parent’s bakery, in terms of why was ‘new’ there. It was because of the path of least resistence for her, in terms of her parents.

She was told that she will have to be a baker one of these days in her parent’s bakery called New Vastergoth Bakery. However, she didn’t want to do it since it would require a name change to be a bit less annoying to her. ”I’m pretty annoyed at why the heck was New in the title of the bakery?” Diana thought to herself. She snapped out of her thoughts because she still has no idea why ‘new’ is in the title. However, it was pretty easy to tell the name bothered her of the bakery. It was pretty much the only thing that irked her about the entire thing. ”I’m not in a rush to join a bakery right now mother and father. I know you have a plan for me but I chose this. Even though I suck at it. At least I was told how to properly clean my rifle.” Diana thought to herself with a smile on her face. She remembered what she had to do but didn’t really want to do it now since she would have complained to her parents about why the heck is ‘New’ in the name of their bakery.

Innocence Lost: Space Western Science Fantasy (Temporarily Open Again!)

Nikolas R. Zahrin – NPC Character Sheet

”I will be happy when Conner L. Hadley is dead and buried in hell. Then I can be with Lana Riley Steven after all these years. I have never once told her... However, I have a feeling she knows deep down I love her.”

---

Name:
Nikolas R. Zahrin

Full Name:
Nikolas Richard Zahrin

Nickname:
The Dragon

Nickolas’ callsign in the Commonwealth Military. It was given to him via an enemy within the Coalition’s forces by the name of Alnus Glutinosa the Gentle Giant. Alnus Glutinosa commanded a fleet of 90 warships bombarding Darius Prime. Nikolas’ tactics were far ahead of Alnus’ that put him at a massive disadvantage of always three steps behind the Dragon. The terrifying power behind the Dragon was his Black Ops Fleet called the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. It caused Alnus Glutinosa and the entire Human Coalition to try not to engage the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet because of fear. Do not fuck with the Elder Dragon of the Zahrin Family, which caused the Battle of Darius Prime to be a total victory for the first test of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. You will regret your actions against the Dragon.

However, his reputation is merciful and fierce. He disallowed the outright killing of enemy combatants, which surrendered to him. Alnus surrendered to him four total times, which he was forced to retire after couldn’t defeat Nikolas’ outrageous tactics. Under Nikolas operations, which were the antithesis of the 11th Fleet’s atrocities to the Rauve. His mercy allowed the Rauve to fear his might but also accept his mercy as a fleet within the Commonwealth to not break their honor code. Honor Codes are important to Nikolas and he doesn’t break them at all.

Age:
45

Birthdate:
April 18th

Military Rank:
Black Ops Rear Admiral – Dragon’s Brigade Fleet / ShadowOps Liaison

Appearance

Nikolas’ has a pretty immense presence, which is kind and gentle towards people he respects or sees as apart of his fleet. However, it can be quite intimidating towards people who have gotten on his bad side, which have pissed him off to an extreme degree. His body emits a slight radiance, which surrounds him it’s mostly because of his family’s history on his homeworld. His eyes are very caring and blue towards his family, which is in the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. He treats everyone as if they are his sons and daughters. The one person, which he would care as his own flesh and blood would be Narvia since he does love her mother deeply. He gets easily flustered when talking about Lana, which would’ve been better in the Zahrin Family than in the Hadley Family. Narvia is an honorary member within the Zahrin Family. He dreams one day he can free Narvia’s family from their tormentor, which is Conner L. Hadley. It’s mostly because he is their godfather but would love to become their stepfather instead but it would require Conner’s death.

He has an idealistic ideal in his stance, which has gotten him to the rank of Rear Admiral of the most Elite Black Ops Fleet ever. The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet, which he prides himself on this elite unit he respects them and treats them as equals. His homeworld is Draken’vina or Bedivere Six, which would make him basically a core worlder in the Imperial Commonwealth. He doesn’t have any of the hatred or biases that other Core Worlders have against being a frontier colonist or having cybernetic implants. He has the ’Elder Dragon’ rank on his uniform, which is in actuality Rear Admiral. It looks like a dragon on his color, when he is wearing his Black Ops Dress Uniform or his military uniform. His hair is normal length for a human male, which lives on his homeworld. He has a sword seethe on his waist, which holds his Diffuser Sword it was made on his homeworld, which he handcrafted.

How he was raised gave him an appreciation on the strict nature of Military Life. It was how he risen through the ranks in the Military, which he was content at Rear Admiral of a Black Ops Fleet. His family life was so familiar to the military, which gave him a great understanding on how to treat his subordinates and made their transfer to his command an easy one. Dorothy on the other hand, gives him a headache because of her being super paranoid of people trying to rape her but not. He usually helps her out of her psychosis but it’s a bit more annoying to deal with. However, he’s grateful she’s trying to fix her life by getting on their mother’s good side by joining the TLI Research Institute. He is very good with children even though his job demands much from him. Because of that reason, he doesn’t want to get married unless its with the one who he is in love with, Lana.

Height:
6’2”
Weight:
235 lbs
Body Type:
Athletic
Hair Color:
Black
Eye Color:
Blue

Birthmark/Scar(s):

Nikolas was born with a dragon birthmark on his back, which glows in the dark with a slight pulse of multiple different colors. The pulsing colors are a rainbow. He has battle scars are all over his body, which are on his back, face and chest. These battle scars are from the trial by fire battle against Alnus the Gentle Giant in the Darius Prime System. He will live with these scars for the rest of his life since he never backs down from a battle. His honor code disallows him to do so, which involves his many decisions throughout his life.

---

Important Item(s):
The Galactic Credits

He has a large amount of credits from his excelled service in the military. He carries about 80,000 credits, which are in a digital and physical form it is in half. He has around four million credits for all the successful missions and constantly never leaving a person behind. His career is very successful for all the times he has ever went on a mission.

Cigarette Pack

There’s only three cigarettes left in the pack. He stopped smoking after Conner so generously volunteered Narvia F. Hadley behind Lana’s back. It was only because he was a ShadowOps Liaison, which allowed him the opportunity to learn of Conner’s plans for Narvia. It heavily disgusted him, which he knew the reason for the hatred in Conner’s voice talking about his own daughter in that way. It was specifically because of the Birthmark on Narvia’s left arm. He didn’t know the context in why Conner was so disgusted with Narvia but it must be because of the birthmark. There was many things in what he was thinking about but the one thing he learned it would be better if he wasn’t the one that killed Conner.

The Giant’s Sabre

This is the trophy, which Nikolas R. Zahrin got when Alnus the Gentle Giant gave him after his first time surrendering. It is a saber, which is covered in magical runes of the Rauve. The magical runes cannot be activated by anyone who isn’t magically inclined, which Nikolas definitely lacks. It looks pretty on his weapon’s rack in his room on the Dragon’s Claw, which is the flagship of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. Alnus the Gentle Giant was never able to regain his weapon since he did retire from Military Service in the Rauve. It was mostly because of the fact he lost a total of four times.

Omnitool:

Enigma E50S56-5000 Model Codex – The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet

Hider

This is a specialized omnitool, which is a military enhanced model to the specifications of Nikolas’ for his specific fleet. E50S56-5000 is the model number of the Enigma Codex, which he is using. This helps Nikolas in giving his fleet their assigned orders and other arrangements, which are top priority for proper security. It gives times for the Dragon’s Meetings with his Adult Dragons and the Honored Dragons, which are within the Brigade. This doesn’t include the honorary member of the Honored Dragon, which is his goddaughter Narvia. Enigma Codex has precision compared to other military models, which gives off a form kindness that most people whom uses this omnitool doesn’t get otherwise.

The Logo of the Dragon’s Brigade is a dragon’s head breathing some fire up in the air, which is on the display. It is pretty strange, however he has altered his voice somewhat when it comes to the tutorials and advice on these set of omnitools. He is the voice of the mascot for the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet, which is a baby dragon nicknamed Draggy. Since he’s the owner of the original omnitool of the Fleet, which allows him to not require a recognition code. However, other people within the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet have their first name or nickname with some numbers at the end to be their recognition code.

He has access to every single reason, why he handpicked the captains, commanders and all other personnel within his fleet. It’s because of their reasons or circumstances that caused them to want to join a fleet that had certain respective in what they are allowed to do. He treats everyone within the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet as equals no matter where they came from. Mostly because he sees everyone within the Brigade as his family. If you are from a colony or frontier outpost in bum fuck nowhere and he’ll treat him as if they lived on his homeworld for half of their life. He knows all the people who were forced to join the military and the ones who willingly joined it. It doesn’t help Nikolas’ is definitely cryptic and gives his orders in a fragmented state, however the Adult Dragons get the most clear picture of the orders. There are around ten thousand of his brigade that is in the forced to join the military, while the rest were ones that willingly joined. It’s the reason why he handpicked them to join his fleet to be apart of a family.

Nikolas’ outright goal is to get Lana out of the grasp of Conner L. Hadley if it isn’t the last thing he does. He has a plan within his head, which is called the Retuner. It’s basically all about Narvia F. Hadley-Zahrin’s return to her mother and elder sisters. Without her father being alive since he’s the bastard that volunteered her for the Lemegeton Project. When she wasn’t able to defend herself at ten years old. No one within his Brigade knows of this plan, however they do know he cares for his Goddaughters in the Hadley Mansion. However, the defenses of the Hadley Mansion are definitely built protection from orbital and ground based seizure.

Feature Set of The Codex

The Feature Set of the codex makes it pretty much unique compared to the other military or enhanced models in the Imperial Commonwealth. Its primarily for the use of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet and gets boosted by the Enigma Communication Corvette, which holds a massive data terminal within it. It acts as the primary center of the fleet, its the only way for the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet to get their orders from anywhere in the Commonwealth’s territory from High Command in the Military or the ShadowOps’ Leader Dr. Alice. These orders are disseminated throughout the omnitools, which the soldiers in the Brigade are wielding. However, they are given these orders in segmented cryptic graphs of what they need to know.

Nikolas’ Omnitool has these features, communication, calculation, augmented reality navigation, limited data transfer and decoding encrypted data files that are only for his eyes. Augmented Reality Navigation has two subsets, which he has access to they are Strategy Game Tournaments and music channels from his homeworld. The first music channel, which he tries to avoid is D-Pop, which is influenced by K-Pop and J-Pop, it’s interpretation is the worst of the highest portions. It’s literally dragons singing songs, which is pretty insane to him, who would want a female dragon singing to them. He usually keeps the D-Pop Channel deactivated on his Omnitool because its insults the culture of respecting the dragons. However, his homeworld is called Bedivere Six, which is a gambling parlor so, some insensitive music has to be blasted on some of the gambling parlors. The other music channels are basically the norm for the entire Imperial Commonwealth. It even has some patriotic military music channels and propaganda to go with it.

The Data Transfer feature allows him to keep knowledge on three specific subjects he wants to keep track of. The first subject is the Hadley Family, which includes all their previous exploits in the past, who was the founder and the rumors of Scott’s Ascension. It is mostly talking about the 200 years of history of the Hadley In-Vector Corporation. However, the rumors don’t go much into how he ascended but it was probably cruel in how he ascended as the Hadley Family’s Head. It doesn’t even talk about the details on certain other things he has done since he died way before now, however his nickname in the family was the Maddening. The oddity of that nickname is a bit odd to Nikolas, which is why he was given that nickname he will never know. But it feels like Conner L. Hadley is the second coming of Scott Noreen Hadley in how he is acting.

The Magical Knowledge database has information on how to counter magic and things to avoid like the plague. The first entities you should avoid like the plague is the Kaiosken, which are sentient crystals that outright will kill you in anyway possible because they hate what the Imperial Commonwealth done to one of their own kind. The second entity you should avoid pissing off is no other than Dekriem, the Soul Destroyer, which lives on Nikolas’ homeworld of Draken’vina. Even though he hasn’t been spotted for centuries ever since his world’s entry into the Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity as Bedivere Six. However, it is said he’s able to completely destroy one’s soul via breathing out a silvery white cone breath attack only leaving the body completely lifeless. He is the most dangerous of all the dragons living on Draken’vina. However, there’s Underveil Wyverns living in the Vanguard Regional Mountain Range. But they aren’t that dangerous compared to Dekriem, the Soul Destroyer.

The last database is on what is specific to Nikolas’ Fleet. He keeps a detailed list of everything in this database. In terms of their movement and what not their assigned tasks, even though he’s a bit cryptic nonetheless. The lower the rank you are the less information you get in your assigned missions and what not but they all have a specific thing of never leaving anyone behind no matter what. Therefore, so far the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet has been trying to keep the Percival System peaceful but its hard with the Gravia Military Company stepping on the TLI Research Institute’s toes. However, its good that the Gravia Military Company’s overseer is scared of him or they’re will be consequences of his actions later. He’s been annoyed at the ever presence of the Private Military Company of Conner’s constantly trying to start things with the Institutes that don’t want to be apart of the Corporation’s bloody wars. However, it’s probably because of the fact Lana R. Hadley was given a Scythe from Richard Lyle Amberdine. That’s probably the cause of the hostile actions of the Gravia Military Company in all honesty.

Weapons:

The Diffuser Sword

The Diffuser Sword was crafted on Draken’vina by his mother and him. It was mostly because of the fact to know your sword in the Art of the Sword, you must craft your own weapon, which he got pointers from his mother. His mother specifically taught him how to best diffuse a situation with the least amount of trouble. It means this weapon has two abilities, which are the Diffuser Field and the Regenerative Field. The Diffuser Field, which protects the user in a frontal cone. It lessens the damage from any laser type weaponry, which hits the shield. The Regenerative Field uses what hits the Diffuser Field to help the regenerative abilities of humans by increasing their natural regenerative abilities by at least two times.

He was given the weapon after he fully mastered the Art of the Sword, which his mother taught him to use. It was on his birthday, which showed his mother Vina Etna Zahrin was proud of him. She was even more proud of him over his younger sister Dorothy. It’s mostly because Dorothy is a complete an utter fool in only want people to protect her. This is a weapon, which he uses that shows he is a definite swordmaster.

The Dragon’s Brigade Standard Issue Rifle – Nikolas’ Personal Rifle

This is the Standard Issue Rifle of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. It is a coiled rifle, which is an upgraded version of what the Black Ops Divisions in the Imperial Commonwealth Military uses. It’s upgraded in three distinctive ways, it carries a grenade launcher, fires much faster and able to pierce harder targets with a heavier hit. It carries more rounds of ammunition, which is twenty more rounds.

On the rifle has the initials of the person of the person wielding it. Meaning, this is Nikolas’ personal rifle, which he wields and has his initials. These weapons are upgraded with the TLI Research Institute’s Biorhythmic attunements and has a DNA Lock to their wielder. It’s mostly because he knows Richard Lyle Amberdine, which was happy to upgrade all the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet’s Rifles.

TLI 7250 Automatic Coilgun Pistol

The Automatic Coilgun Pistol is a slightly upgraded pistol from the 7000 series weapons in the Thea League Intelligence Research Institute. This weapon only has a DNA lock for Nikolas’ DNA. He got It since he ordered a pistol from the TLI Research Institute, which was automatic and not Semi-Automatic. This is when he met Debra K. Amberdine while he was there but he was camouflaged so she doesn’t really know that she did meet him or even remember. Nikolas’ name is on the side of it.

There is only a singular weapon module for the pistol but Nikolas’ isn’t a coward. He doesn’t see a need for a Silencer on the pistol. There is a semi-automatic mode on the pistol, which means it can fire a single shot, three shots or keep on firing until it runs out of bullets from the magazine.

Misc. Abilities:

Nikolas’ Abilities

Art of the Sword (Master – Grand Dragon Rank)

Nikolas wields his Diffuser Sword, which he has a mastery of swords that his mother taught him. This is a family tradition, which has been passed down from generation to generation within the Zahrin Family as one of the greatest sword techniques. It is called the Art of the Sword, he was taught by his mother at a very young age in this technique. He can wield any type of melee weapon with a sense of finesse and mastery that not many people can wield them. However, his bread and butter is the Diffuser Sword, which is a Katana since his homeworld is of mixed between Japanese and Russian culture. Nikolas learned how to be honorable in the face of fighting a heavily cunning or cowardly opponent but was worthy of his attention. However, they aren’t worthy of his honor if they piss him off to an extreme degree. Two people in the world has even pissed him off so much he almost came close in killing them, because of the fact they insulted his family or godchildren.

Conner L. Hadley’s outright disdain and hatred for Narvia F. Hadley made him come close of killing him where he stood. However, it was a visit to accept Narvia F. Hadley into the Project, which Conner so graciously volunteered her. The second person was Berkeley R. Jensen, which is the husband to Maya I. Jensen one of his Heavy Cruiser Captains. Berkeley is the 11th Fleet Admiral of the Dreaded ‘Butchers’ who enjoy massacring civilians. He saved Maya from that horrible convenient marriage by helping her break ties with her husband, which ended in a divorce. She regained her original last name of Stoutfield but still is in the Dragon’s Brigade. These two in specific don’t deserve any honor for how they treated their loved ones, other imperial citizens and enemy civilians. In the case, they don’t deserve to live in any case. He is outright a master at close quarters combat, which in terms him and his sword is outright dangerous.

Assault Weaponry (Skilled)

The Assault Rifle in the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet, which Nikolas knows how to use it. He doesn’t know how to use it alike some of the highly masterful rifle users in the Imperial Commonwealth Military or just regular civilians. He prefers being close ranged combat more, which is a bit odd he uses an assault rifle nonetheless. The way he got the Assault Rifles is via a commissioning them via the Imperial Commonwealth Quartermaster. He upgraded them via going to the TLI Research Institute to give them security so no one steals his assault rifles. The demonstration of showing these weapon’s capabilities were to his family, which is the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet themselves. He’s much better with any melee weapon but swords are his expertise, which is an understatement. He knows everyone has their quirks in battle and what type of weapons, which they would rather wield. He wouldn’t be the Dragon’s Brigade Commander if it wasn’t for his training in this specific field of weapons.

TLI Research Institute Pistoleer (Trained in TLI Research Institute Pistols – Average)

Nikolas was trained by TLI Research Institute in their pistols, which he’s average at best in using them. The one person, which helped him was no other than Richard L. Amberdine when he was visiting the TLI Research Institute to upgrade his Assault Rifles. His family and the Amberdine family are quite close since they have an interest in their ideology of being idealists. However, he doesn’t like the silencer weapon module, he’s honorable and not a coward like most of his enemies he despises. Pistols are meant for one thing in particular, self-defense purposes or quick firing at a person who’s trying to kill you. It’s not for sneaking up on someone and killing them in the back of the head. However, he did meet Debra K. Amberdine during this visit but she didn’t know that he was there because of his camouflage, which is different than hers.

---

Dragon’s Eyes (Biotech Upgrade)

This biotech upgrade was given to Nikolas when he was 20 years old, which is five years older than males usually are given it. Nikolas’ eyes can see in ultraviolet, and multiple different other spectrum of light without the use or need of nightvision goggles. His eyes usually change from their natural blue color to a light greenish color and gives them the look of dragon’s eyes. He can see up to two times that of a normal human. This biotech upgrade has no drawbacks because of the implantation age is older than 15 for males and sixteen for girls. If anyone is given this implant any younger it’ll cause some side effects and cannot be used for that long as well because it strains your eyes.

All members of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet have this biotech upgrade for them to have the same capabilities as their commanding officer. This was given to the honorary member within the Honored Dragons at twelve years old, which does strain her a bit if she uses it. However, her natural eye color stays the same, the person who was given this gift was Narvia F. Hadley-Zahrin, which is his goddaughter. It was implanted on her via professionals on the ShadowOps Base in the Merlin System. It is only because the age was four years younger than what females were supposed to be given it.

Dragon’s Camouflage (Biotech Upgrade)

These biotech upgrades are on his face, which changes it to match any/all people he could meet with. It doesn’t change his voice or their patterns, which doesn’t help really to impersonate anyone. This usually helps him to look any age of a sixteen year old to an old man, which is so he can more relate to people within his brigade of certain ages. It doesn’t change how he thinks since he has a bit of an idealistic way of thinking. He only uses this during visits to the TLI Research Institute or trying to not be noticed by his sister Dorothy as much. It does help that his sister Dorothy is a bit naive in her own way, which is good for him. She doesn’t really understand biotech upgrades, even though she works in the TLI Research Institute that perfected certain biotech upgrades. It’s only because of her background of being a Perfected Electrum Researcher and Researching her psychosis. He doesn’t really have to act like he knows his sister. However, this is definitely a great thing to keep him from being recognized by at least Debra K. Amberdine. It doesn’t help him against Richard nor Angela since this biotech upgrade was introduced by the TLI Research Institute.

It uses basis of what a Dragon can do in myth, which can change their entire appearance into a human-like appearance to be more friendly. However, Nikolas is much more friendly than those myths in the Imperial Commonwealth’s databases about Dragons.

---

The Dragon’s Scales (A Boon from Dragons)

Nikolas has an unnatural endurance as if he has dragon scales. It is mostly because he has a boon from a Dragon, which gives his skin a dragon scale feel and it takes much more to kill him. It gives him a higher chance of survival against individuals, which would want to kill him. He has never had an assassination attempt on his life but if he did, which would cause the individuals great trouble. Ironic enough, two children actually tried to assassinate him but they failed because of his skin being alike dragon scales. They weren’t adept enough in assassination, all they were trying to do was to please their father, Gregory and Sarah were their names. He threatened their lives to not try this again, however, it made him pissed to realize that Conner L. Hadley was the one that ordered his assassination.

There’s battle injuries on his body, which he gained during the battlefield against Alnus the Gentle Giant’s forces. It showed his resilience and gave him his callsign or nickname a new meaning in everything.

The Dragon’s Instinct

Nikolas’ insight is highly valuable to the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet, which he constantly gives them his honest opinion about their distinctive lack of acting like a family. His idealistic nature of his insight shows a bit of his mother within him, which the honesty he shares with his family in his Brigade. He’s stoic down to the Earth type fellow but if you insult him or any of his family, which he’ll show you a different side of him. It would be him about throwing down and killing the person, which insulted him, his family or his godchildren or his love of his life. However, he knows the consequences of doing so, therefore he doesn’t follow through with his threats to people who outright piss him off. He’s so frustrated in not following through with it towards Conner L. Hadley when he was right there in front of him. He so wanted to kill that bastard for insulting Narvia F. Hadley like that. However, he decided not to for the sake of Lana R. Steven, which he still loves. It’s kinda obvious he was highly frustrated at what Conner said.

Dragon’s Brigade Commander (Tactical Genius)

The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet’s victories in the Human Coalition and Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity War, which owe to his strategies and distinction through it. It does help that his fleet is a Black Ops Deep Strike Fleet, which is still feared throughout in and out of the Imperial Commonwealth’s territory. Additionally, it does help that this fleet is equipped with ShadowOps technology, which makes it have high autonomy. However, it first task in gaining this autonomy was the battle of Darius Prime against a fleet of Alnus Glutinosa the Gentle Giant. Darius Prime was a lost cause in the overall strategy of certain Admirals in the Admiralty. However, that was against Nikolas’ idealistic morals of never leaving anyone behind, which includes planets that are under attack by enemy fleets. This battle would decide in a trial by fire if Nikolas’ strategy could go against a fleet of 96 ships to his 40, which was a 2 on 1 in the favor of the Rauve Fleet.

Alnus the Gentle Giant made a fatal flaw when fighting the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet, which was insulting Nikolas’ honor. In the end that battle was costly for only the Rauve since they lost 89 starships out of 96, which were captured by the Dragon. Alnus surrendered, which allowed him to keep his soldiers since Nikolas’ honor and morals don’t allow him to harm people that had surrendered in war. Alnus’ gave Nikolas’ his magic runic sword as a trophy of being able to defeat the one that is used to planetary bombarding planets. Imperial Commonwealth’s Military was shocked at the victory that Nikolas’ pulled out of his hat, which gave him a medal for winning against overwhelming odds. He was even given his so deserved autonomy, which awarded him with a mission by the ShadowOps.

It involved need to know information, which led him to have a leave of absence from the War for only a bit since he was called to Lamorak Four. This made him annoyed, which means he was only called here because of Conner L. Hadley’s message, which the ShadowOps intercepted. However, he strategically planned for anything that Conner will do to him since earlier in his military career. He will never forget or forgive Conner for trying to kill him with his bastard children. If it comes to it, he will kill Conner, however that was a contingency plan he had. He got into a meeting with Conner and was utterly disgusted with what was talked about. It was the fact Conner was going to volunteer his daughter Narvia F. Hadley to get rid of her. He didn’t want to kill her himself but would rather allow her to die by other means. This is when he decided to allow Narvia to kill Conner since it would be a waste of a coffin if he did it. When she’ll be up to the task, however, that’ll take along time since she’s only five years old. Nikolas realized that Conner wants Narvia to be sent into the ShadowOps’ Lemegeton Project at ten years old. However, Nikolas only hinted that someone of the people he’s Liaison too will pick up Narvia F. Hadley at ten years old, if he isn’t busy he will but the likelihood he will be.

Nikolas’ is a very caring person out of the Admiralty, he cares more about if you are skilled rather than where you were born. You could be a vagabond trying to make it in the world, however, he’ll still give you generosity no matter what. However, if you are an asshole or an extremist in terms of massacring civilians he will hate you. The fact he also cares for Lana and her children is something else, which it is said he’s more married to his career than anything. He is in fact Conner and Lana’s children godfather. Nikolas knew of one thing, however, the battle at Proxima was even more suicidal than the battle in Darius Prime. It would be a do or die situation for the Imperial Commonwealth, however he was on the same page as Alexander Kherol. He got there more cryptically than Alexander, since he is always a bit cryptic when it comes to orders and what not. It was a miracle that the final battle of the Imperial Commonwealth vs Human Coalition ended in a treaty fair to both sides. However, if it wasn’t for his or Alexander’s work it would have ended in disaster.

Draken’vina Culture (Tour Guide – Old Fashioned Traditionalist)

Nikolas’ has a fascination in helping anyone within his fleet with directions and popular destinations on his homeworld of Draken’vina or Bedivere Six. He can tell about the culture it was before it joined the Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity, which he has an innate knowledge on it. It’s obvious he’s the most cultured apart of his family, however, he would properly add that his sister’s psychosis is a bit annoying to him. The other reason for the tour guide persona is because he’s the planetary governor’s son, which is named Leon I. Zahrin.

He informs people that the culture on his homeworld is the reason for people coming here as tourists. It has very good prices in living on the planet, which is cheaper than other planets or systems in the Imperial Commonwealth’s Territory. He has pride of his planet and his father as planetary governor. It is a habit of most people living on the planet to call it Draken’vina instead of Bedivere Six. The distinction is they survived a pretty long time before they joined the Imperial Commonwealth.

Personality:
Nikolas’ pride isn’t arrogance like it is within most people in the Imperial Commonwealth. This pride sees everyone within the Imperial Commonwealth as equals no matter if they came from a poor family or an incredibly rich one. It doesn’t matter if you specifically have only cybernetic implants or biotech implants. He gives everyone equal opportunities as long as they aren’t an asshole. The biggest accomplishment he is most proud of is becoming Rear Admiral only at 27 years old, which gave him a bit of an idealistic morality of never leaving anyone behind. Nikolas has two people he deems doesn’t deserve his pride or idealism, which are Conner L. Hadley and Berkeley L. Jensen. In terms, he sees Berkeley as a control freak with a slight genocidal tendencies, it probably doesn’t help he was apart of the Krillian Drive Force, Mercenary Company. This Merc. Company is owned by the Jensen family, which are extremely wealthy and only had opportunities for the fairer sex into their service.

There is one person he loves more dearly than his parents, which is Lana R. Steven before she married into the Hadley Family. He outright hates Conner for what he had done to Lana’s family structure, which was the unity of his godchildren with Lana. It frustrates him to no end that he cannot right now do anything for Lana ever since he fell in love with her at 14 years old. However, he is always happy to chat with Lana when she usually contacts him since he was the one that named all three of her daughters. He takes pride in the family he created, the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet, which is the most elite of the Black Ops Forces in the Imperial Commonwealth Military. It is a bit odd but he takes pride in being apart of the ShadowOps as a Liaison. This gives his fleet an insanely large amount of autonomy compared to if he was only a Military Officer and he uses this power to not blind him from the larger goals he has in mind.

Nikolas respects Alexander Kherol by a large amount, since he’s a youngling that showed his genius every time he got into a battle or a strategic game of chess. He is highly intelligent, however a bit cryptic in how he denominates information and missions to his subordinates. The Dragon is loyal to the Imperial Commonwealth Military and the ShadowOps, which are the two organizations he does stay in contact with. All the people within his brigade he sees as his sons, daughters, brother and sisters in terms of how old they are in question. Most of his subordinates are younger than him only a very few are the same age as he is. He is definitely much wiser and can tell if they are showing malice in their body language or voice. It’s alike he can see their true self just by starring into their eyes since it shows much about them, since the eyes are what their soul is.

The one organization, which he despises is the Gravia Military Company. There is two reasons why he hates this organization; the first is the support or basically being hired by the Butchers, which is the 11th Fleet under Berkeley L. Jensen as the admiral. The second reason was the failed assassination attempt on his life by Gregory I. Marshal and Sarah R. Marshal, when they were sixteen years old. It happened two years after he was already a Rear Admiral but before his becoming the Liaison to the Shadow Ops. However, Sarah slipped out that they were children to Conner L. Hadley, which made him furious and told them in no small part of basically threatening their lives if they ever try Assassination again. Nikolas was correct in being slightly paranoid in allowing two Gravia Military Company personnel into one of the training fields, which the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet trained at. He knew they weren’t up to no good and was great at hiding what he was thinking or telling them until they showed their hand. It showed he was merciful and also showed he could be merciless to those he deems unworthy of his honor code.

There is another reason why he despises Gravia Military Company by trying to cause an incident in the Percival System by attacking the TLI Research Institute. His Brigade protects the peace in that system, which is paramount to his morality. No civilian must be harmed under his watch, if they are harmed the culprit must be sentenced and sent to the Prison World. He knows certain plans are quite insane, which would involve a massive loss or defeat to the Imperial Commonwealth. It was the only real reason why he supported Alexander Kherol’s command at the Battle of Proxima. Better to create a miracle than have everyone die in the Imperial Commonwealth. However, he was annoyed at whom caused the loss at Proxima but in the end the treaty was favorable to both sides.

The person in question that was at fault of that defeat was no other than Admiral Sophitia Aristoros, however, she does deserve a second chance. It’s not that he had any power to help her out in her situation mostly because he was slightly peeved off at the loss of Narvia and the other pages. Since they were captured by the Rauve, which made it the third time Narvia was basically a prisoner in a place where she feels slightly safe. The Hadley Mansion, the Merlin System and now the Rauve Homeworld, however, he has no idea when he’ll be able to see her again. He misses her since he was the one, which gave her full name to her mother Lana, how and why he did so. She’s too innocent to even really tell what is going on with the people. However, his choice feelings of Dr. Alice is much better since she is very good with children no matter what happened to them or how they became apart of the Lemegeton Project.

Short Bio:

Nikolas’ History

Nikolas was born on the Draken’vina planet or what it is called in the Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity as Bedivere Six. The Za Clan unified the entire human population under one clan, which there used to be three. Bedivere Six’s latest planetary governors are Nikolas’ parents, which are Leon I. Zahrin and Vina E. Zahrin. There was a planetary revolt along time ago, before the Imperial Commonwealth accepted Draken’vina into its commonwealth as Bedivere Six. This revolt destroyed highly technological blueprints of sublight speeds, which thought would be impossible by the humans living on Draken’vina. No one knows what or whom gave the Draken’vinans this technological marvel, however, the traitors were put to death by Yuri N. Zahrin. Yuri is Leon’s Great-Great Grandfather, which were in talks with the Imperial Commonwealth to join it. This caused some mistrust by the Imperial Commonwealth but not much since Bedivere Six became a great haven for legalized gambling that the Commonwealth promotes.

The Za Clan told the Imperial Commonwealth there won’t be anymore rebellions as long as they are the Planetary Governors of the world. It was agreed, which helped relations be less tense than it was. There was a strange culture on the planet, which included ties with actual dragons alike in Earth’s history or mythology. These dragons are real, however and the most dangerous one is named Dekriem the Soul Destroyer, which doesn’t harm anymore alike it did in the past of the planet. Dekriem shaped the planet’s culture to be more welcoming and accepting of no matter their circumstance, culture, implants that are cybernetic or biotech. It is has a high moral compass, which will never leave anyone behind or kill a single civilian since everyone who lives on Bedivere Six or Draken’vina is easily disgusted about mass slaughter on a large scale. However, they usually keep quiet about such atrocities unless you brag about what you’ve done to everyone.

They do have a booming industry, even though its only for melee weapons, which you can handcraft since they have Gambling Parlors with Blacksmiths on the side. It is a bit odd to have these such things next to Gambling Dens, Casinos and what not but its usually a prize if you beat the house at its own game. Even though it is very hard to beat the house, since the house always wins. The specializations on the planet is mixed between making profits via casinos or manufacturing melee weapons of the culture’s preferences. The Culture’s preferences is Eastern Swords since the Za Clan is basically Japanese-Russians. Japanese weaponry or Russian weaponry is usually typical of what they wield as a melee weapon. All of the planet’s structures are basically the capitals of Russia and Japan, which is Moscow and Tokyo respectably. It’s a unique mixture of architecture, which shows they’re handicraft is excellent. The Planetary Governor Building is a mix of a Palace from Japan and the Kremlin from Russia. It feels a bit of an ole world, which is nice aesthetic to some highly futuristic buildings. The greatest feature of the planet is the largest casino called the Shogun, which is inspired by Japanese Emperors in history.

Leon I. Zahrin is very charismatic compared to most people visiting the world from the greater Imperial Commonwealth. He helps diffuses the situation with the people trying to gamble their hard earned credits at the many casinos and other type of gambling dens. However, he has been having a trouble raising his children Nikolas and Dorothy mostly because of he’s a workaholic. He has to keep the planet running smoothly, which is a good thing he has a wonderful wife. Leon has vast many different contacts within the Imperial Commonwealth Territory, which is apart of the Amberdine Family. He knows many things within certain families, he was a bit shocked at what happened to the Steven Family, however he contacted the Hadley Family’s head at the time Stuart. It was because of sooner or later, his son would need a wife and they would require a godfather for their children. However, Stuart basically told Leon that its always nice to have a backup plan nonetheless, which this is a great plan even though it’ll make Conner a bit peeved. It’s only for the children’s safety, which they will know of their godfather. Leon wasn’t stupid, however, he knew that Stuart was going through much grief because of his wife died at the hands of Derrick P. Steven. It was a bit stupid of him to give Conner L. Hadley the Private Military Company at 13 years old.

Additionally, he knew of his son’s greatest what he would achieve when he joined the Imperial Commonwealth Military. It’s mostly because of the aptitudes of the Za Clan is hard to duplicate or beat, which is impressive. The Flag of the Za Clan is basically tied to their friendship with the Dekriem the Soul Destroyer. It is a half holy dragon and half black dragon, which shoots up grayish soul destroying fire. This flag flies on all of the buildings on the planet, with the Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity’s Flag flying next to it. It shows the unity between the Za Clan and the Imperial Commonwealth as a whole.

Nikolas was primarily raised by his mother Vina E. Zahrin because of his father being extremely busy being a planetary governor of Bedivere Six or Draken’vina. Everyone on this planet excel at close quarters combat since they are of the Za Clan, which unified the planet under one clan. She taught him everything about the culture, Dekriem the Soul Destroyer and most of all never lose your humanity in a war or you’ll be treated as a monster and not a savior. These were very easily picked up throughout his life on his homeworld, which is mostly because of the fact he is true to idealistic nature of his homeworld. However, his mother taught him specifically the Art of the Sword Technique, which there is four titles within it. Whelp, Drake, Dragon and Grand Dragon are these ranks, the final one is Master. He was legendary in how quick he reached Master Rank, which took him only his twelve year birthday to become Grand Dragon Rank of Master. His parents were highly impressed of his skills, which made him a very hard person to beat since no one has ever done that good at the Art of the Sword. It took his parents to hit Grand Dragon rank at 17 years old, however most people usually take longer time to hit Grand Dragon.

As a reward, he was given a chance to see the Imperial Commonwealth’s vast territory, which caused him to travel to Lamorak Four. It was because of his father Leon arranged him to be there since he was two years younger than the corporation ball participants, which are Conner L. Hadley and Lana R. Steven before they got married. He was only 14 years old at the time, which was a great time for him, while not so much for the one in question. This event he has never let go in his heart since he saw the woman of his life, however, it broke his heart when he heard she had to marry Conner.

He constantly has dreams of this day, which she was definitely hurt at the fact the Steven family lost Derrick and Maria basically on the same day. However, the Corporation Ball was the only way these two could meet since it was on their sixteen birthday. It was only because of this, which caused him to want to protect her and any of her daughters alike a true Godfather would even though right now he’s only 14 years old.

Nikolas approached Lana, who was talking to Conner in the middle of a large ball room, with many different people in it. It was a bit of a hassle but the people in the room knew who were the guests of honor, in terms of Nikolas and his father that is. He was greatly in love with Lana but he couldn’t really tell her at this time. ”Hello, how are you two doing today? My name is Nikolas R. Zahrin by the way.” Nikolas asked kindly towards Conner and Lana. He wondered what the two’s response would be to him introducing himself like this. As well as trying to break the ice so to speak.

Conner rolled his eyes when this two year younger male walked up to the table, which introduced himself. He could tell specifically that Nikolas was in love with his soon to be wife, Lana. He laughed a bit at Nikolas’ name since he never really heard of the Za Clan before. ”I could be better if it wasn’t for my father’s unnecessary ball but I heard there’s some guests of honor… It is nice to meet you Nikolas, my name is Conner Leo Hadley.” Conner said, with an annoyed look on his face but has a slight smirk on his face. He always knew he was going to have to keep his enemies closer than his friends, which he somewhat felt Nikolas would be the earlier.

Lana smiled kindly towards Nikolas, while she was wearing beautiful glasses on her face. However, she had a definite depression on her hands because her father and older sister’s death. It’s a bit hard to smile or talk most of the time. But she could feel a bit better if she tried to talk to people, which she felt like Nikolas is going to be a good friend to her. It felt like she could trust Nikolas and Conner. ”I’m still trying to get over… my father’s death… and my hyper controlling older sister Maria’s death after being arrested for killing him. It’s my pleasure to meet you, Nikolas. My name is Lana R. Steven. Guests of honor? Who are they...” Lana said kindly, however the Guests of honor did kinda confuse her. It was a very crowded ballroom, which was the biggest one on Lamorak Four, since it is the Delilah’s Gazelle High Class Bar’s sixty floor.

Stuart heard his son and Lana’s question of Guests of Honor, which caused him to walk to the table. He was always a bit feeling a bit like giving his son full access to the Private Military Company at 13 years old was a mistake. However, he cannot really take it back since you cannot really go back in time to fix your mistakes and have to live with them. He had a smile that Nikolas and Leon got the invitation to this event before their marriage. “Ah, you want to know the guests of honor to this ceremony of you two finally getting to live your lives together? You just talked to the first guest of honor, the second one is Nikolas’ father Leon.” Stuart said, basically telling his son Conner whom are the guests of honor. He had wondered what his son would say at this outrage since Conner is very vocal about certain things that don’t go to plan. However, it would be to have a counter to Conner’s plans in the form of the Zahrin’s themselves. His mistakes will only ever be fixed if Conner has an enemy or friend to change his path.

Leon moved to his son’s side and looked exactly at Conner’s reaction of hearing his father telling him these two people are the guests of honor. He knew specifically that Conner isn’t going to enjoy the next announcement in why he and Nikolas is here. However, he knows his son’s true feelings a bit easier and it seemed like Conner does too. Lana on the other hand, wasn’t right now interested because of her heart ache at losing her father and older sister. It only happened a year before the day, they would move on with their lives and get married. Lana was too sweet and a bit innocence even though she had many problems in her life because of what Maria had done. “There’s a real reason why me and my son is here for. To help Lana and you Conner with your children. However, you must promise me that they will know Nikolas is their godfather. Nikolas is a great with names and could help you name all your children.” Leon said, with a slight smirk on his face towards Conner. He didn’t show what he was truly thinking about this farce of a marriage since he knew specifically that Conner is downright evil. However, he knew of the reconciliation that Stuart and Derrick were trying in terms of marrying the two of their children in increasing their bonds.

Conner couldn’t help but feel a highly bit annoyed at what Nikolas’ father told him, however. It would be better to keep your enemies closer than your allies. This would be a big wrench in his plans but not as much as outright disagreeing to the plan. ”Father, seriously? You will not be allowed to come to the Hadley Mansion for this shit. However, I agree to what you say Leon. It is true that I am not much for naming children.” Conner said, with a bit of malice towards his father. However, he was calm and happy to at least try to be friends with Nikolas R. Zahrin right now. Nikolas will be a definite obstacle to his plans, nonetheless since he pre-planned his firstborn through third children with Lana already. However, there isn’t no names with those daughters or sons he will have with Lana since he doesn’t really care much.

Lana smiled happily towards the announcement of having a Godfather for her children. It does help that Conner basically agreed to allowing her children to know of Nikolas R. Zahrin’s responsibility towards them. She had an idea of her firstborn’s name but would want a second opinion on it. ”Nikolas, what do you think we should name our firstborn child? I was thinking of if we had a son by the name of Quentin Divan Hadley.” Lana said with an obvious leaning towards a son. However, she would need a second opinion of a beautiful girls name since that’s a bit out of her league right now. It’s the only thing that is keeping her going after her father and older sister’s death.

Nikolas had a bit of a shock to his system in terms of Lana’s pain and suffering from losing her father than older sister. However, it was pretty much obvious how much the whole thing hurts. He smiled a bit slightly towards Lana’s son suggestion, however. It was a bit more obvious she would love a daughter’s suggestion even more than what she had said. The one thing that was ironic was the name that Lana picked for her son, would be what he would want as a son. ”I have to say, I feel sorry for your loss Lana. It’s hard losing someone you loved and feeling like you are being played by someone that was just using you. However, Freya Pauline Hadley would be a great girl’s name to be honest. I feel like you are only going to have only daughters, it’s just my gut feeling.” Nikolas said with a heavily surely in the whole thing. He already had names for the other two daughters, which she’ll have as well. It was a beautiful name nonetheless, which shows he’s a bit of a dramatic. He always wanted to be anything to someone that would need a shoulder to cry on and that’s Lana in a nutshell.

Lana was shocked when she heard that Nikolas had a gut feeling that she’s going to give birth only to daughters, which made her a bit endeared to him. It’s the first time anyone saw her to get what her mother had, three children all daughters. She definitely agreed on what he said, being used by her sister was the worst thing ever. ”T-That’s a wonderful name for a little girl, Nikolas. T-Thank you. I am going to never forget this kindness… I still wish I could’ve joined the military but… my older sister Maria and the fact my father was an Anti-Propagandist didn’t help my chances.” Lana said, with tears in her eyes. It showed she was still hurting from the whole thing, it is very hard for her to stop herself from crying peacefully about the whole situation. She couldn’t stop crying it’s like Nikolas and Conner will help her forget what her older sister tried to do for her. A bit of a sick way of helping when all she was doing was hurting the Steven Family.

Stuart was happy about the whole thing, minus what Conner said to him. It was a bit annoying but after this wedding, which will happen soon he’ll be cut completely off from the Hadley Mansion. He looked directly at his son, with a definite understanding but a bit angry. “Conner, I do hope you know I shouldn’t have given you the Gravia Military Company at 13 years old. I’m sorry for that mistake, you can say. But this decision isn’t something I am going be regretful on, since I never gave anyone a chance to help raise you after your mother Rena died.” Stuart said truthfully about the whole thing. He is going to have a definite hopefulness that his son doesn’t make any mistakes unlike he had. However, the likelihood of him loving Lana and her three daughters is not very likely. Because of the pain of losing Rena is too much to bear, however. It doesn’t help that woman in the Gravia Military Company, Natalie is a definite bad influence. He rolls his eyes at the fact that Natalie finally gets her wish after all this time for the new era of the private military company.

In terms of that, Conner showed his rage towards his father for the first time. It was a bit much for Lena, which was crying already and tried to calm everyone down. Nikolas stepped in and basically protected Stuart since his son was out of control, which didn’t feel like it was correct. However, Brittiany that is Lena’s mother came up to everyone and totally helped Lena be slightly more mentally stable. Brittiany shocked everyone that Derrick was the one that caused this entire thing to happen, which Conner was flabbergasted a bit. The adults knew what was exactly going on but Lena never knew that her father wanted her to marry Conner to fix the relations between the two families. Lana did definitely was happy about the encouragement from her mother, which gave her a happy smile. Conner reaction to the whole situation just sighed and hugged Lana to go finally to their wedding. Nikolas told them a little proverb of happiness is always found in the littlest places.

---

Three years later, Nikolas joined the Imperial Commonwealth military at 17 years old. His parents were definitely happy at his joining the military. He was one of the few military personal, which showed his idealism of leaving no man behind. Military High Command, were shocked at his high aptitudes scores in strategies, commanding, melee combat, treating everyone as equals. There was many other aptitudes, which he excelled at including disseminating orders with only the high ranking officers under him knowing the full picture. It basically called Nikolas highly cryptic, which made him definitely unpredictable since no one who’s a private will ever know the full picture. He gained one bad habit while in the military, which was smoking. It stayed his only bad habit, which wasn’t that bad since he needed something to calm him down from the stressors of dealing with military life from his family. He saw Lana and Conner as family too even though he knew of the fact Conner stayed away from the Mansion most of the time.

Nikolas in ten years became Rear Admiral, which helped Military High Command to give him his greatest challenge. He had to create his own Black Ops Fleet, which they wanted him to be a deep strike fleet. His 27th birthday was the most exciting thing he had to deal with, the rank of Rear Admiral on his shoulders. It showed sooner or later the Imperial Commonwealth will be going to war with their neighbors as stupid as that is. However, he accepted the challenge with whatever will be coming to Humanity even though there’s some things you don’t want to meet in deep space. He handpicked everyone within his brigade and he never once showed them any animosity toward where they came from. This is because he saw them as family, he was given an unproven callsign called the Dragon. The name of his fleet became the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet, which he changed certain ranks to be based around dragon ages. These ranks are called the Elder Dragon, Adult Dragon and Junior Dragon, which respectably replace Rear Admiral, Captain, Commander in that order. He has honor guards, which are called Honored Dragons. They are leaded by Vienna L. Stoutfield, which has a two other sisters and one of them is in the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet.

The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet size was only at a total of six starships, which were all Carina Dragon Class Heavy Cruisers. They weren’t fully crewed or equipped for anything but training drills, however at least they had their captains at least. It would be basically up to full strength later in his life, which would take awhile. The maximum amount of personnel, which would be assigned to Nikolas is a total of 205,000. He would train it to become basically an untested Elite Black Ops Fleet, which would need a trial by fire victory against overwhelming odds to become feared. Since he never wants to leave a man behind, which would basically go against his honor code. He was a bit amazed in getting two Stoutfields within his brigade, both Captains in their own right but one of them was married to one his his rival. Berkeley L. Jensen is a rival of his because he outright hates where he came from, which is a Mercenary Company that is a bit genocidal to his liking. Berkeley was given access to the 11th Decimation Fleet Ira, which is nicknamed the Butchers because he is definitely Admiral material.

It would take him about three years of trying to convince Maya I. Jensen, marrying Berkeley was a terrible deal. However, him opening her eyes to the truth via defending her honor from her husband definitely helped. The greatest step in Maya’s growth in her family, which was divorcing Berkeley with her commanding officer’s help in divorcing him. She was much happier with the whole thing, she no longer had to deal with being hit, insulted and constantly degraded by her so-called husband. Nikolas is happy for her too, since Vienna was the one that caused him to basically help her younger sister out of that awful marriage. However, Jennifer is the youngest of the Stoutfields and Nikolas knows more about her situation but Vienna and Maya need to learn it for themselves.

Before fully convincing Maya, he had a very annoying time, which was on sometime after his 29th birthday during a training exercise with the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. An Assassination attempt on his life was foiled by himself since he was facing 16 year old twins, which weren’t that great. It was an ungraceful act to try to assassinate him, however he learned of their names. The twin girl was named Sarah R. Marshal and the twin boy was named Gregory I. Marshal. He was furious, with the whole thing, which he decided to yell at them. ”...You are so lucky I am being merciful right now or I would kill you both were you stand. Without you telling your mother and father that you love them.” Nikolas said, with a slight aggressive tone in his voice. It was definitely hilarious in how Sarah basically screamed bloody murder when all he did was cut into their skin not even deep enough to make them bleed to death. He could’ve done so much worse to them but he chose to be merciful.

Gregory looked at his twin sister, which was definitely not feeling safe in this situation. He knew that she’ll feel utterly frustrated and as if she failed her father in this assignment. It made him a bit frustrated too, however, it was their own choice in doing this assignment. However, it was obvious that Nikolas’ head was on a snivel only because of the fact they are from the Gravia Military Company. ”I am grateful to your mercy, I can tell why you are called the Dragon now. Be damned, this was an impossible task, Sarah. Why did you talk me into this, sister? Should’ve picked the other option… instead of getting our hands dirty.” Gregory said, with a slight regret in picking assassinating Nikolas. However, he hoped Sarah wouldn’t spill the beans about their relationship with Conner. It was definitely a bit annoying to say the least.

Sarah was on edge with everything, what her brother said didn’t help her nerves. However, all he’s doing is blaming her only because they thought they could kill Nikolas. She was heavily nervous and crying at the fact, which she’ll have to live with a scar on her back. ”I-I never thought getting an assignment from father would… be so difficult. Nikolas, why you never let down your guard against us?” Sarah questioned towards Nikolas, however. She didn’t really realize that she blurted out basically something that Nikolas was waiting for. It took her a minute to notice Nikolas’ was pissed off from what she exactly said.

Nikolas was definitely pissed off, it meant that Conner had cheated on Lana with a Mercenary by the name of Shelly L. Marshal. It’s pretty obvious that Sarah and Gregory are Conner and Shelly’s kids. He didn’t really enjoy the fact he learned this from one of their bastard children. It made him definitely worried for Lana’s safety if Sarah and Gregory are basically secrets within the family. ”...Sarah and Gregory. If you try this shit ever again, you are deader than a doornail on the firing line and you won’t be killed by a firing squad. You’ll be killed directly by my own hands and I will ship you in a box in tiny pieces or your dead bodies to Conner and your mother Shelly to show them not to ever fuck with me again. Because I have to say, I am going to make sure he’s terrified of me even more so than he thought he should be.” Nikolas said, furiously towards Sarah and Gregory. He wasn’t taking anymore of this shit, the proverb of keeping your allies close but enemies closer was basically used on him. It’s going to make sure that Conner never breaks anymore promises or else, which he is going to get it. By him or his own children since they so deserve to kill their bastard of a father, which never loved them once.

Sarah opened her eyes wide, when he said those words and fell down on the ground, which she was crying up a storm. She didn’t want to be brutally murdered by Nikolas, which probably means she shouldn’t ever try to piss him off anymore. It felt like if they touch any of his godchildren they would be even worse off than they are now. ”P-Please do-don’t kill me… I-I’m a-a f-failure… I’ll never get anything ever again from Conner… I am so sorry Nikolas for trying to assassinate you.” Sarah said, completely in fear and couldn’t really help herself from crying. She didn’t want to be shipped in a box in tiny pieces to her father or mother it would devastate them. However, she didn’t want to tell her father that she basically blurted out that it was Conner whom assigned them to kill Nikolas.

Gregory was going to try to show false bravado, but couldn’t since his sister was an utter mess trying to apologize to the one they tried to assassinate. It didn’t help that his twin sister’s crying and pleas were very much heard to him. He walked in front of his sister anyways and stared directly at Nikolas. ”I don’t want to die but I wouldn’t want to die a coward either. Isn’t it a bit harsh to threaten the lives of… two children?” Gregory asked, however it was his sister’s fault for basically causing this. It was definitely in his interest to get far away from his sister and anything, which could cause them an untimely end. Since it was rumored that Nikolas was interested in becoming a ShadowOps Liaison, however, that’s definitely guaranteed now.

Nikolas smiled slightly at seeing the false bravado from Gregory, however hearing Sarah’s words gave him something to say. He couldn’t help but feel like giving Sarah the fright for her life, was definitely invigorating for her brother and her since they will be both doing things that aren’t assassinations. ”It’s pretty simple I threatened you because that’s how you two spoiled little brats will learn that the world isn’t such roses and rainbows. However, I won’t be killing you for now unless you piss me off again. Alike harming any of my god children, which are definitely a priority for me to protect. However, what the hell is your rank in your father’s Military Company by the way, I kinda need to know. Because I can send you off this planet to your father’s location easily since you need to report to him.” Nikolas said, with a definite knowledge now that they are definitely spoiled rotten by their father Conner. However, he was willing to give them a single chance, however if they fuck this up they will be given the treatment they so deserve. Basically being murdered in the most horrible way possible for how spoiled rotten they are.

They both told him they are Dedicated, which is one rank below their father. Basically meaning they aren’t brainwashed and order the brainwashed underlings to do what they mean. This was the last time they will want to meet Nikolas together, which he kept under tabs in what they are doing now. Ala, Sarah became a guard for the Mansion and Gregory became a surveillance agent basically going their separate ways but staying in contact. Nikolas a bit after became apart of the ShadowOps as a Liaison, with only one single caveat to protect the Merlin System with his Deep Strike Fleet. It was the only good thing he finally decided on since he was on the fence nonetheless. He was no longer a fence sitter for ShadowOps Liaison, it would give him many missions and able to keep in contact with contacts that want to volunteer their children to certain projects.

Conner’s Meeting – The Volunteering of Narvia F. Hadley

Nikolas had a meeting with Conner L. Hadley because the ShadowOps intercepted his not so encrypted messages. It was a bit odd to get a message from Conner, however, this happened on Narvia’s 5th birthday, which was definitely not good. He wasn’t not really that happy in going here but he was basically told to see what the meeting was about and gain any necessary information. It would be good for the Lemegeton Project nonetheless. This meeting was at the Hadley In-Vector Corporation’s HQ on Lamorak Four, which would be in the office of Conner L. Hadley. This felt a bit annoying to deal with since Lana wasn’t here at all basically behind her back alike he planned this in advanced. However, he did notice that one birthmark on Narvia’s left arm before whomever gave Conner the information told him. He kept it to himself since he felt it would hurt Lana more than Conner.

Conner saw Nikolas’ face and saw his favorite honor guard with him, ala, Vienna. He couldn’t help but smile a bit, however this room was covered in people from his military company. It was obvious he was a bit happier to see Nikolas’ face. ”I have to ask you a question Vienna? Are you and your sister in the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet wondering what happened to your younger sister Jennifer. It’s quite simple I tossed her to the curb after she told me something a bit much for me to handle. I didn’t really believe a frontier outpost woman like her.” Conner said, with a slight smile since he is definitely vindictive. It was mostly payback for threatening his children, which felt like a good trade.

Nikolas sighed, at hearing that Jennifer was the one that told Conner and looked at Vienna to make sure she doesn’t pull anything. Even though he so wanted to kill Conner right this second. However, he wanted Conner to get to the point already, he was sick and tired of this game. He knew he was here for basically Narvia’s freedom or something akin to that. ”Conner, can you please just get to the point of this meeting? Instead of trying to punish the Stoutfield Family for something I did. However, I am still grateful I did that to your bastards. I would never change what I told them ever. Shouldn’t let a child do a man’s job, next time you should come after me yourself, Coward.” Nikolas said, he wasn’t in the mood for the back and forth alike Conner was good at. Before the Assassination attempt, they were both trying to pry in the other’s plans and what not, however. Neither got that far so far, however, Leon was definitely correct on everything so far.

Conner sighed and didn’t really want to deal with the Honorable Dragon or the Dragon’s whining for much longer anyways. He looked directly at the two, cleared his throat and started to bring out a piece of paper. It was obvious he was going to read from something since he had the look of concentrating on something. ”It involves the little whore of a daughter Narvia F. Hadley. The purity of form and knowledge of what I know is she’ll have the worst luck in our family. The Steven Family is a stain in this Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity and must be purged. I am volunteering Narvia Folspear Hadley for any and all projects that will kill her off so I don’t have to feel regret in not killing her with my own hands. Prisons are great things… since that’s what my mansion is.” Conner said, truthfully and honestly with every ounce of his being. Nothing was going to stop him hating wife or his children that aren’t from Shelly. He’s already been going on this course for awhile now and doesn’t care for the consequences now.

Nikolas started to shake in anger at what he is hearing, however. He knew of a single project that would be great for the Innocent young little girl to be apart of. It definitely annoyed him that he basically had to help Conner to get what he wants. In his mind, he wanted Narvia to kill her biological father. ”I so want to kill you right now for that insult to Lana’s youngest daughter. However, there is a project that is up to your needs, which is the transfer of Narvia to the organization I am a Liaison to. I have a feeling your Bastard children will ignore any and all escort duty to Narvia since they were definitely know if they hurt her will have happen to them.” Nikolas said, basically hinting that Sarah and Gregory would be definitely killed. However, he knew of how protective Dr. Alice is to any and all of the children who are volunteered to her for the Lemegeton Project. It would be her duty to kill Sarah and Gregory if they try anything with Narvia.

Conner nodded at the fact his children only likes doing things together, which means Sarah and Gregory would rather live than die. He was happy to hear there’s a project that is available for his daughter Narvia. However, he did wonder what the project was in question but it wouldn’t be a good idea to pry. It’s only because of the fact Nikolas’ is honorable and never would leak anything that is tip top priority of keeping secret. ”This volunteering won’t happen when she’s 5 years old. It’ll be when she’s ten years old. However, she’ll be expunged from the Hadley Family Database alike she’s a ghost even though she’s real and alive. She’ll be wearing the Journey to the Stars Necklace, which her mother will give her. Cruelty? Yeah, probably. But Lana is so under my control that she hasn’t even realized that Freya P. Hadley is brainwashed as a house maid.” Conner said, with a bit of a hint of hating everything about this family. Just giving it out in a full tell all since Nikolas and him will never be friends ever again since they both hate each other. He laughs a bit at the whole situation since he was definitely happy about brainwashing his eldest daughter.

Nikolas got a bit more angry with this whole thing he was about to snap and kill Conner. However, he calmed down before he did the one thing he wanted his goddaughter to do. ”I’ll tell the ShadowOps’ Leadership that the planned pick up is at Narvia’s tenth birthday. However, I do hope you have a great day.” Nikolas said to him with a bit grinding his teeth in frustration. However, something changed in Conner’s face an alarm happened, which caused Nikolas to be a bit confused.

Conner looked at his datapad and sighed, which the alarm was coming from his study. It was a definite pain in the ass. Who would’ve went into his study. He smiled a bit hopefully it wasn’t Narvia or he’ll be angry about it. ”Looks like I have an emergency to attend to, someone went into my Study without my permission. Guess someone is going to be yelled at for breaking the rules I laid down. It’s the only reason why I brainwashed my eldest daughter Freya because she broke the one rule.” Conner said, with a sigh, however. He would probably would mean that his wife and Narvia would meet the mysterious’ Leader of the ShadowOps. Since Nikolas would be heavily busy with military operations.

Conner and Nikolas went their separate ways after that alarm that was set off. Nikolas stopped smoking after that meeting, which he would have been easily able to kill all those brainwashed soldiers of his. However, it would probably still mean he would die and not be able to be with Narvia. Vienna was cursing under her breath, while they went back to the Dragon’s Claw. The first order of business was making Narvia F. Hadley an honorary member of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet as an Honored Dragon. Since all she will be having happened to her is being transferred from one prison to another, in terms of how they are. Never able to leave and return to her family, because she’s a project candidate.

Proxima was going to be the final battle’s location for the War between the Humans and Anti-Human Coalition. He knew it was going to be suicidal in the battle since the Human Coalition had much more forces than the Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity. His highly disciplined fleet was going to definitely be at the final battle. He wouldn’t dare betraying the Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity in anyway. Since if he does this he’ll be able to get rid of 11th Decimation Fleet Ira and their Admiral Berkeley, which had been completely brutal in his campaigns. However, he was told to be positioned in between Admiral Sophitia Aristoros and Fleet Admiral Kherol’s First Fleet. Two of the people he got along well with, while the 11th Decimation Fleet Ira was separated throughout the entire fleet as backups for the Blockade. Berkeley’s Flagship was the Heavy Dreadnought Nora, which was from the Krillian Drive Force Mercenary Company.

Nikolas knew of the cruiser, which held the secret weapons even though one of them was his own goddaughter Narvia. They are called Pages, which he kept that secretive no one really needed to know the importance of Narvia and the other Pages in this battle. Narvia is whom he keeps tabs on mostly since he is worried about her innocence and whatever she learned is going to be useful in this battle. They blockaded the best they could until one person fucked up the whole thing, however. It wasn’t Berkeley like he thought but it was Sophitia Aristoros, which was in command of cruisers. However, the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet stayed where they were, however. It took him basically to see the situation at hand and decided to move his fleet closer to Alexander Kherol’s flagship at that time.

It took him to realize as well that the Cruiser that had the pages on it, indeed were captured by the Rauve. He took a deep breath but couldn’t help but curse up a storm without saying anything to the commander who did that. However, it took him much later in his life to basically forgive Sophie for losing his goddaughter to the Rauve. He wants to see Narvia again more than anything but he is staying defending ShadowOps HQ, which is the Merlin System. The greatest thing was when the treaty happened, since the final battle ended in a fairer treaty for both sides. However, if it wasn’t the Fleet Admiral’s tactical genius that would have been much much worse. It did help that the Rauve were still afraid of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. But the Blockade was an utter failure, which was awful. The only good news in this whole thing was that Berkeley L. Jensen was sent to Gaheris 66 for war crimes. Nikolas was grateful the Decimation Fleet Ira was no more. It did help that the Jensen Family’s Flagship was destroyed in disgrace, however Berkeley lived via abandoning ship before the Nora exploded. This was like an early birth present basically for him, since Berkeley basically is a craven and betrayed his duty to go down with the ship.

It showed one thing that the best asset is something you can fear, which the Dragon’s Brigade has in spades. Nikolas’ after the war assignment was basically keeping the Percival system peaceful and protecting the secrets of the ShadowOps. The one agent he was shocked to meet one day, was no other than the so called dead Maria. However, all he did was told her basically a word of advice don’t ever fuck with me. It’s basically if she makes one mistake, she will truly dead. However, her family already thinks she is dead. He never really felt sorry for one that basically was sick in the head that was holding back her sisters only for her own self interest. Basically reminded him of Berkeley just ten times worse. He made sure no one in his brigade knew of what is going on in the system they are protecting, which would keep his family protected. It’s always better to be ignorant of what you are guarding than knowing every single detail. Vienna is his bodyguard, which means she had to become a ShadowOps Liaison as well. The only two people that know what is going on in ShadowOps. It is much to deal with but better than the alternative.

There’s many rebel groups that are rebelling against the Commonwealth. However, he’s a bit annoyed that the so-called Dreadnought that was destroyed at the battle of Proxima wasn’t the real Nora. It means the Krillian Drive Forces, Merc Company is still working for Hadley In-Vector Corporation. The leader now is no other than Berkeley’s younger sister Heather R. Jensen whom was the Rear Admiral of Decimation Fleet Ira. Nuisances, but at least they aren’t no longer in Military Positions, which is a good thing. However, if it has to do with his goddaughter’s rescue he will definitely risk saving her. She deserves all the courage she will get.

Extra Information:

Zahrin Family – Dynamic of Understanding and Hardiness

This family are planetary governors of the Draken’vina planet, which had its name changed to Bedivere Six because it had more in common with Bedivere than the Tristan System. The Za Clan lives in the Solis Plains, which are beautiful and can be expanded upon to put more Gambling Dens on the planet. There’s a massive mountainous region called the Vanguard Regional Mountain Range, which is barren on one side of the planet. However, there’s humans living within the mountain range to trade resources with people living on the world. The people still use the old planet’s name since its culture is pretty hard to change and incredibly stubborn.

The planetary governor’s name is Leon Ion Zahrin, which is the planetary governor specifically of Bedivere Six or Draken’vina. Either of the names works on the world, since they’ve always been a bit hard to change their belief structures. The reign of Leon is quite wonderful and haven’t ever tried to steal from the top of the gambling dens or parlors since that would be against the Commonwealth’s rules. It is impossible to bribe Leon in anyway. The people living on the planet themselves live an unnaturally long lives and have an incredible hardiness. All people living on this planet has a dragon birthmark on their back signifying the unification of the planet. The Banner the planet uses has a Dragon on it similar to The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet, which Nikolas R. Zahrin controls.

The other family members within the Zahrin Family are as follows, Vina Etna Zahrin, Nikolas R. Zahrin and Dorothy Lyndis Zahrin. Nikolas is the eldest son and one of the most idealistic pupils of his mother’s art of the sword. Dorothy on the other hand, is the black sheep of the family because she has a trouble understanding no one is trying to rape her. Vina herself is the mother of Nikolas and Dorothy and is happily married to Leon. Vina upright abandoned her daughter since she can’t really handle dealing with her anymore.

The people living on the planet are peaceful and there isn’t no revolts on the planet. However, the blueprints of an ancient sublight technology was lost before the time of Draken’vina returning to the Imperial Commonwealth’s Fold. The people living on the planet are descendants of people whom came from specifically Russia and Japan multiple years ago. The people on the planet forgave and forget the past of a younger and more reckless Imperial Commonwealth.

Leon I. Zahrin

Leon is 61 years old, however, his physical age is around 28 years old. He got the best biotech upgrades, which makes him much younger than he actually is. He’s the planetary governor of Bedivere Six or Draken’vina and usually deals with everything on the planet. He dresses up as a Samurai or a shogun, which either works for him. He tries to keep out of his wife’s way. He is the one who introduced Nikolas to Lana R. Smith before she married Conner L. Hadley. It was god awful of a relationship he saw miles coming, however he knew of a way to keep this relationship from going to badly. He wouldn’t want Lana R. Smith to end up dead one day because of his inaction.

He outright disliked Conner L. Hadley, however he knew he wasn’t be able to have true corporate connections like Lana’s Mother or Stuart. However, he knew a thing or two that the Hadley Family is hurting from the lost of Conner’s mother Rena. Stuart gave ownership of the Private Military Company to his son at 13 years old. He was grateful at the introduction, which him and Stuart told Conner and Lana that Nikolas had to be their children’s Godfather. It was a bit funny to see Conner’s reaction of the idea, like he was pissed off. He knew from the get go, which his son would’ve learned was that Conner L. Hadley was evil.

He saw how Conner acted around Lana, which was a pure innocent girl at the time, which was hurting pretty badly. It was because of Derrick P. Smith and Maria’s deaths, which are Lana’s father and older sister respectably. The innocence would’ve been grown and loved in his family but not in the Hadley Family. Conner wanted to badly hurt anyone who had Derrick’s blood flowing in their veins, which would mean Lana and her children. Nikolas fell in love with Lana, which happened when he was 14 years old. Leon knew that Nikolas was mentally frustrated at this because of the look in his eyes watching Lana.

This made him smile because of the fact Nikolas was happy talking to Lana. However, the evil that Conner puts Lana through, which will make Nikolas and Lana closer. It would take Conner’s death before these two would become married, however. He pulled some strings with the TLI Research Institute, which would become friends with Lana. Lana’s aptitude with a Scythe is outrageously great. Leon became friends with Richard Lyle Amberdine, which would have to put his name on the weapon since he wouldn’t want Lana to die because of a mistake. Even though he’s the reason for the Scythe that Lana would get much later in her life. He was definitely leagues ahead of certain plans that Conner had. It was obvious that this was a marriage of convenience, which meant that Conner had no love in his voice in actuality. However, Conner was very convincing to be in love with Lana.

---

Vina E. Zahrin

Vina is 61 years old, however, her physical age looks around 30 years old at most. She got the best biotech upgrades, which makes her much younger than she actually is. Out of everything, she’s the wife to Leon, which is the planetary governor of Bedivere Six or Draken’vina. She wants to have a large extended family, which involves her two children having kids or them adopting them. It doesn’t really help that Dorothy’s psychosis is making her not able to have children since why would anyone want to marry a crazy person. She given up on Dorothy because of her constantly complaining about someone is going to rape her.

Her eldest child, Nikolas is basically the only one that can snap Dorothy out of her Psychosis. She loves Nikolas much, however, she’s the only blonde in the entire family. It’s mostly because of how the family’s dynamic is, or reality its mostly about the past. Her great-great-great ancestor, which is the Dragon Sorceress Vina married Nikolas A. Zahrin. There always has to be a person named Vina within the family, which has blonde and blue eyes. She knows who gave her this strange boon, whom is called Dekriem the Soul Destroyer. Dekriem is an ancient dragon, which lives on the planet with the humans.

She mentioned to her son via communication that Conner L. Hadley was planning something to do with his family. It is mostly because of the fact Nikolas is no other than Conner and Lana’s children’s Godfather. Lana should have married Nikolas since they were made for each other. However, that wasn’t possible because of the fact they weren’t born on the same planet. There were rumors of people’s children being kidnapped and what not, however. She couldn’t really tell if they were true rumors since that information doesn’t come likely to her. She was impressed of her son’s excellent career within the Imperial Commonwealth Military, becoming a Rear Admiral in only ten years. However, she was a bit shocked that he became a Liaison. Why would he do that, unless its because of his duty to help his godchildren in anyway possible.

She embarrassed Nikolas much by telling him, ’You should’ve married Lana, dear. You do love her don’t you?’ However, this causes him to stop talking to his mother because he doesn’t want to be flustered by his own mother. It is a bit hard to blame him, he’s a bit of a too much of a strategist to back down from a challenge. His father is the same way, when he proposed to her it was sweet and all but it took at least two years before he did. She waited for him, however, she doesn’t know if Lana will wait for Nikolas since her husband is still alive. Conner is a bastard, which is quite annoying.

---

Nikolas R. Zahrin

Nikolas is 45 years old, which is the favorite of the Zahrin Family. He shows an unbelievable culture heritage, detail and knowledge to everything he does. He knows every single thing to know about the cultural heritage of the Za Clan, which were influenced by the dragons. In terms, he is pretty much the primarily the one to ask about anything going on his homeworld and if you need a tour guide. Just ask him to take you around, which he’ll be happy to help even though the planet is apart of Bedivere system as the sixth planet. He keeps up on the news with Leon and Vina with what is going on the homeworld. He has an outright disdain for anyone mentioning Conner L. Hadley or his bastard children. It’s mostly because he hates the fact his father was basically right that Conner didn’t like having a Godfather to his children.

The reason he hates Conner’s Bastards was because of the fact they tried to assassinate him. He gave them a single warning, if they ever break this he’ll be merciless to them. He knows of the Hadley Mansion is a maximum security prison. He has named every single one of Conner & Lana’s children. He became a Liaison to the ShadowOps before Conner L. Hadley volunteering his youngest child Narvia F. Hadley to the Lemegeton Project. As well, he’s the Black Ops Rear Admiral of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet, which won many battles within the Human Coalition v Imperial Commonwealth war. He met the leader of the ShadowOps, which is named Dr. Alice Amara Mahgen. His fleet protects her system because of the fact his fleet never was damaged via the fact the Coalition was highly afraid of his tactics and what not.

Nikolas met Conner at his office, which was in his corporation’s headquarters on Lamorak four. It was because of the fact he wanted to volunteer Narvia to a project to get her out of his hair and what not. This was a very hostile meeting between them both since he outright basked in the fact he hated his children with Lana. This happened basically on Narvia’s fifth birthday of this meeting. However, on Narvia’s tenth birthday Lana learned that her husband Conner went behind her back because of the Dr. Alice paid her a visit. It was mostly because Nikolas was too busy to escort his goddaughter because he had important military business. The only saving grace, was the fact Sarah & Gregory declined to escort Narvia, which helped his nerves. Alice was really good with children, specifically Narvia’s turning into a Page of Lemegeton. Narvia was a bit too terrified and what not, it was very intriguing.

---

Dorothy L. Zahrin

Dorothy is 27 years old, which is 18 years younger than her older brother Nikolas. She constantly talks about being raped and what not, which has made her the literal black sheep of her family. Not her father nor mother could get her to shut up, only her brother Nikolas gets her out of her psychosis. Because of this their relationship has became really strained as brother and sister. He doesn’t really like interacting with her, but he doesn’t hate her. The only reason for this is because she joined the TLI Research Institute as a Researcher to help her to get rid of her psychosis without the help of her brother. However, it frustrates her to no end because of this psychosis that caused her not to have many friends or never have any boyfriends.

Angela saw her psychosis as a new unknown type of something to work over. It is nice she’s basically getting help by the most medical minds in the TLI Research Institute. However, it’s pretty hard to tell when she’ll be fully cured of this psychosis. The Research into it and the creation of certain cures haven’t worked out to the greatest degree. She is a bit frustrated at the side effects of these anti-psychosis medication. It causes her sometimes to literally black out and wake up in a strange and dangerous location in her room or in the Institute. She’s a bit afraid of how long it will take to find the perfect cure for her ailment so she can stop having this problem. It will help her relationship with her family be repaired, which would help her self-confidence by a lot.

Her entire life has been in the shadow of her older brother Nikolas. She hasn’t really told anyone about her inferiority complex to her own brother. It hasn’t been a really good life being under his shadow, which is the reason she didn’t want to learn her mother’s Art of the Sword. She isn’t really that good with combat type courses, she always forgets about the little details in combat. It makes her a definitely a pacifist that wants other people to protect her other than herself. She knows of her brother’s wanting to adopt Narvia F. Hadley. However, the likelihood of that happening is very slim. She has never discouraged her brother in that since Lana and her three daughters are super cute together. However, she would’ve liked if Nikolas married Lana instead of Conner. She hasn’t told her brother this either since she’s a bit afraid what his response would be.

---

Narvia F. Hadley-Zahrin

Narvia is an honorary member within the Zahrin Family. Nikolas wants to adopt her from her cruel fates and what not. However, the likelihood of that happening has to be over Conner’s dead body. Conner volunteered his daughter Narvia to the Lemegeton Project since he wanted to get rid of her because of his true feelings. Narvia was deathly afraid of leaving her mother Lana, however, Dr. Alice calmed Narvia down by helping her through the emotions. Dr. Alice was really good with children, especially her.

She’s the youngest family member in both families, which is why she’s now 17 years old. However, when she left her family she was only 10. She wanted to return to her mother Lana, really badly, however had a feeling its going to be a terribly long road to reach that. It’s the one thing she wants the most, however, she’s basically an innocent girl who deeply respects certain people in her life. Dr. Alice was the one whom injected her with the Kaiosken Dust to become a Page. She kept her calm and everything so the magical powers of Narvia could awaken, which she was into creating constructs and what not.

The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet – The Deep Strike Black Ops

The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet was given full autonomy throughout the war between the Human Coalition and the Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity. It is an extremely well oiled machine in terms of their tactics, which is leaded by Nikolas R. Zahrin the Elder Dragon. The Elder Dragon is basically a Rear Admiral in the Imperial Commonwealth’s Military. Nikolas treats every single person within his fleet as family. He treats people who live anywhere within the Commonwealth as complete equal no matter what, which includes their birth, their circumstance or otherwise. It is also includes if you are equipped with Biotech Implants or Cybernetics since he doesn’t see the latter as a bad thing. The Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity is a human based organization. The Human Coalition is an alliance of races primarily the Rauve and Kaiosken are the prominent members of this coalition against the Imperial Commonwealth.

The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet of 40 Starships in total all heavily equipped in Black Ops Weaponry from the ShadowOps, which is from the Merlin System. The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet’s total personnel is at 205,000. It is a small elite force, which is incredibly expertly trained in any manner of contingency that the Dragon gives them. The Armor Upgrades on these vessels have given them a fierce reputation within the war. They are separated into three ship classes, Cruisers, Destroyers and Corvettes. The Cruisers are modified heavily to become the Heavy Cruiser Class, which there is six of them. Their are heavily modified Destroyers, however there is only two Heavy Destroyer Class out of a total of twelve Destroyers. Out of the twenty two Corvettes, three of them are Heavy Corvettes, two are Repair Corvettes, a single Siege Corvette and Communication Corvette.

They won at Darius Prime, which gave them the well deserved full autonomy against a much larger force of a fleet of the Gentle Giant. Alnus the Gentle Giant was humbled at this battle because of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet’s terrifying divide and conquer tactics. Didn’t help the Gentle Giant’s only goal was to destroy Darius Prime, which he failed at because he was captured. He was given his freedom since Nikolas doesn’t kill any enemy combatants, which surrender to him. Alnus was given a challenge from Nikolas if Nikolas can defeat him another three times. Alnus has to retire of being a Fleet Admiral in the Coalition’s forces. However, Alnus did retire since Nikolas’ tactics were much more developed from the first time they fought. They were definitely outrageous tactics, for only a fleet of forty ships, however, the Coalition was outright terrified of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet.

The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet made the Human Coalition to be more cautious around them. It helped with the tactical genius of Nikolas himself. The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet saw a boon of the Coalition’s blatantly ignoring their fleet, which made them the perfectly suited for their deep strike role. This role was given to them via a council in the Admiralty, however, the 11th Fleet would have rather seen no successes from the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. Accurate and detailed movements of the Human Coalition’s fleets, which were given to the Special Forces and the Admiralty of the Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity’s Military.

This fleet even made deep strikes within Rauve space, which had no responses from the Rauve. It’s like they couldn’t care less about the whole situation. None of the Rauve part of the Coalition wanted to engage with the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet because of their reputation and the tactical genius of Nikolas R. Zahrin.

”I never once thought a Human from the Imperial Commonwealth would’ve been so honorable and never broke his code. He showed me that not all Imperial Commonwealth Citizens were monsters. I respect Nikolas to this day, I hope the next time we meet is at a bar instead of a battlefield.” ~ Alnus Glutinosa, the retired Fleet Admiral of the Human Coalition. The 8th Bombardment Fleet that engaged Nikolas at Darius Prime and lost miserably.

The Dragon’s Brigade Ranks

The Ranking structure of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet is anonymous with Dragons. The Dragon’s Brigade is a fully autonomous fighting force. The doctrine they spout is leaving no one behind since that is what Nikolas himself sees as the best course of action. There’s another doctrine within the Brigade of always showing honor in battle against their enemies and their tactics are always changing since their Elder Dragon is always cryptic enough to stay ahead of them.

Elder Dragon (Rear Admiral)

Nikolas created this replacement rank to Rear Admiral because his fleet is required to be differential to other fleets in the Imperial Commonwealth. The Elder Dragon is the oldest of all the dragons, which has the most wisdom and usually speaks in a very honorable tone towards people. There’s no one within the Brigade, which has a higher rank than him that makes him the only Elder Dragon in the Brigade. However, outside of the Brigade people will still call him Rear Admiral since it’s the rank he was given and he just created the Elder Dragon rank as a replacement for it.

Adult Dragon (Captain)

Nikolas created this replacement rank to Captain because his fleet is required to be differential to other fleets in the Imperial Commonwealth. The Adult Dragons are becoming able to understand what their Elder Dragon is telling them, however the cryptic nature of Nikolas is a bit much. There’s a total of 41 members of this rank, which are the 40 captains of each starship in the fleet and the Vienna, who’s an Honored Dragon. All Adult Dragons are called into meetings with Nikolas the Elder Dragon so they can talk about recent events or upcoming events in the Commonwealth.

Junior Dragon (Commander)

Nikolas created this replacement rank to Commander because his fleet is required to be differential to other fleets in the Imperial Commonwealth. There’s a total of 80 members of this rank, half of them are apart of the Honored Dragons. These Junior Dragons give advice to the Adult Dragons, which is sound only to help them in their family life, if they are having trouble with someone in it.

The Other Ranks

Imperial Commonwealth Ranking Structure continues after Junior Dragons within the Brigade. There is no replacement rank for anything below Commander. Nikolas was basically allowed to create three replacement ranks for his fleet.

The Honored Dragons

The people who are honored dragons are the honor guard of the Dragon’s Brigade Elder Dragon. The highest ranked officer within the Honored Dragons is an Adult Dragon, which is named Vienna L. Stoutfield. Vienna is the leader of the Honored Dragons, which try to help Nikolas in stop being so cryptic with his orders. The Brigade’s Elite Force, which they protect Nikolas R. Zahrin in any mission he does since they follow him. The biggest way you can tell you are apart of the Honored Dragons is the Brigade’s Logo on your back of an army shirt.

The rest of the Dragon’s Brigade wear their logo on their shoulders. This doesn’t mean the people within his Brigade are anything less everyone is family to Nikolas. That is why the Dragon’s Brigade is a very cohesive force compared to others. Their quality outshines quantity any day. He’s proud in having the Honored Dragons defend him.

There’s an honorary member of the Honored Dragons by the name of Narvia F. Hadley-Zahrin. It’s only in name but if she was able to join, she would be a Private First Class member of it. However, she does wear a t-shirt with the Dragon’s Brigade Logo on the back. It’s only because she’s an honorary member, is only the relation that Nikolas has to Narvia, he is her godfather. However, he wants to adopt Narvia since her bastard father Conner volunteered her to a project.

Ship Classes

Carina Dragon Class Heavy Cruisers

There is six total Carina Dragon Class Heavy Cruisers, which are within the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. They are equipped with much bigger armaments with an ability to take much more punishment than light cruisers or regular cruisers. In terms of these heavy cruisers, they have a small squadron of starfighters, which are from the TLI Research Institute. These starfighters aren’t the Dogma Starfighters, which are being put into production and testing now. They are the last generation called the Garnia 8E500 Starfighters, which aren’t equipped with spacewarpers unlike the Dogma Starfighters are. Garnia 8E500 Starfighters are equipped with similar armaments to other Imperial Commonwealth Starfighters.

Jupiter Class Heavy Destroyers

The Jupiter Class is equipped with cruiser grade armaments with an ability to take much more punishment than regular destroyers. They also have three extra torpedo tubes in the front and rear, which makes it up to six torpedoes in total on each side.

Solis Class Heavy Corvettes

The Solis Class is equipped with destroyer grade armaments with an ability to take much more punishment than regular corvettes. These are specifically equipped with interception in mind, which will be able to protect larger vessels against torpedoes.

Heavy Cruiser Captains

Sarah R. Wallace (Dragon’s Claw – The Dragon’s Brigade Flagship)

The Dragon’s Claw Captain, Sarah R. Wallace was handpicked by Nikolas R. Zahrin. Nikolas didn’t care for her being frontier borne, which makes his fleet definitely unique. Sarah showed her aptitude for captaining Cruisers and Heavy Cruisers, which the Dragon’s Claw is a new type of Heavy Cruiser. It is called the Carina Dragon Class Heavy Cruiser. She’s the younger sister to Talia E. Wallace, which captains the Widower. Sarah definitely respects Nikolas for giving her an opportunity were no one would give her and her younger sister a chance. She has a slight dislike for other Captains within the Imperial Commonwealth. It is mostly because of their insults to the fact she is frontier borne.

The philosophy of never leaving a man behind is stuck within the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. It is ingrained into the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet, which makes them have ideological differences to other fleets within the Commonwealth.

Talia E. Wallace (Heavy Cruiser named Widower)

The Widower’s Captain, Talia E. Wallace was handpicked by Nikolas R. Zahrin. Nikolas didn’t care for her being frontier borne, which makes his fleet definitely unique. Talia had an aptitude for being everyone’s friends while being able to captain a starship, however she needs help now and then. The Commander underneath her is very responsible and helps her in certain procedures, which she messes up. However, they are minor mess ups. Talia and her younger sister Sarah make a great team together, which is the reason why they were given access to the first two Carina Dragon Class Heavy Cruisers off the production line. The two of them lived on the same frontier colony before being assigned to the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet by Nikolas’ wanting them to be apart of his family.

Marcus S. Lochley (Heavy Cruiser named Dragon’s Wings)

The Dragon’s Wings’ Captain, Marcus S. Lochley was handpicked by Nikolas R. Zahrin. Marcus and his younger sister Mira were born on Lamorak Five. They are apart of a long known Megacorporation by the name of the Lochley Aerospace Engineering LLC. This corporation creates primarily starships for commercial, militarily and research use. Marcus’ line of work was a Fighter Pilot, which made him pretty reckless nonetheless, since he usually tested the Lochley Aerospace LLC Starfighters.

Marcus always wanted to be a captain of a Heavy Cruiser even though he does have a reckless streak. However, his temperament is cooled down because of the fact he’s under a fierce and determined commanding officer. It doesn’t help that Nikolas is a bit cryptic in some cases.

Mira R. Lochley (Heavy Cruiser named Victory)

The Victory’s Captain, Mira R. Lochley was handpicked by Nikolas R. Zahrin. Mira and her older brother Marcus were born on Lamorak Five. She’s apart of a long known Megacorporation called Lochley Aerospace Engineering LLC. It’s obvious she isn’t as reckless as her older brother Marcus since she decided to become a singer but that line of work wasn’t enough for her parents. Her parents forced her into Military Service to become apart of the Imperial Commonwealth Military. She was grateful to Nikolas to help her follow her hobby plus keep her parents happy with the military service.

Nikolas is a bit too cryptic for her tastes in terms of the strategy meetings and what not. However, she feels safe in the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet mostly because she is with her brother Marcus. It was odd that an Heiress to a Megacorporation is in command of a Warship, when all she wanted to do was sing for the masses. However, she had to earn her place as a Captain in the Dragon’s Brigade and wasn’t given it alike many others. It’s mostly because of the military training she got was a bit highly confusing for her.

Delilah E. Zavica (Heavy Cruiser named Starfold)

The Starhold’s Captain, Delilah E. Zavica was handpicked by Nikolas R. Zahrin. Delilah was one of Nikolas’ best friends on their homeworld of Draken’vina, even though its called Bedivere Six. She’s a bit more old fashioned than most women in the Dragon’s Brigade and understands Nikolas quite well. Because they are both cryptic in their own ways. She’s a highly decorated officer alike Nikolas but she didn’t want to become a Rear Admiral or Admiral at all. It’s mostly because of the fact she would rather follow than lead a force and Nikolas is better at leading then following. Delilah’s self-confidence is quite rather the opposite of Nikolas’ its only because her parents are quite traditional and didn’t want her to become a Military Officer. Her parents wanted her to become a blacksmith and teach the children how to make their own melee weapons.

Maya I. Jensen (Heavy Cruiser named Fireboulder)

The Fireboulder’s Captain, Maya I. Jensen was handpicked by Nikolas R. Zahrin. Her real last name is Stoutfield, which she married into the Jensen family because she wanted to live a better life. The Stoutfield family has always been troubled with the fact they live on a far flung starbase in the Commonwealth’s outer territories. It’s a refueling station for Imperial Commonwealth fleets and has a large population of civilians. The family she married into is a mercenary company called Krillian Drive Forces. She hasn’t really kept up with her biological family, however, she was shocked to meet Vienna L. Stoutfield in the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. She knows where Jennifer V. Stoutfield, which it is a bit of a degrading job since she works with the Hadley Family. Jennifer hasn’t really been able to keep in contact with Maya nor Vienna, which doesn’t help their information on their younger sister.

Maya is grateful to get out of Mercenary work since she was a captain of the Krillian Drive Force’s Capital Ship called the Nora. She feels much better in working with the Imperial Commonwealth Military as an official captain since her mercenary work was always unofficial. It’s great in that way to be apart of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. She’s worried about the Stoutfields since they have been going through a rough patch. However, when she contacted her parents she learned of Jennifer’s fate, which made her extremely angry at Conner. Jennifer is basically broken after being almost killed but being sent to the Stoutfield Refueling Station in the middle of nowhere. She wants to put Conner through hell for what he had done to Jennifer. Jennifer wants to apologize to Narvia F. Hadley for something she done to get praise from Conner. All Conner gave her was pain and torment while she is recovering slowly at her parent’s station.

Maya married Berkeley R. Jensen, which became the 11th Fleet Admiral of the Decimation Fleet Ira that was nicknamed ’The Butchers.’ Berkeley was a monster in their relationship and she never felt loved by him, it felt like it was a convenient marriage in his eyes. It was good that Nikolas defended her to help her break ties with him. He was a monster that leads a monstrous fleet, which is tied to a despicable Military Company called Gravia.

Stephanie heard the words from R, which soothed her soul a bit more since it was a dream come true to find somewhere she can relax. She smiled directly at R for what he had said. ”I will smile for the future instead of what I have been doing, R.” Stephanie said with a happy smile. She relaxed as if she was truly safe and never had to feel like she would have to keep an eye out for her parents. In her being, her emotions were swelling with a bit of happiness and calmness, which couldn’t cover up the sadness within her. There was many things she can’t wait to see about the Sanctuary since R will be their tour guide of it.

She couldn’t help but smile at the name, which R gave the tree-being that is Mirithal. The name itself was pretty easy to grasp since it felt like he spoke it slowly enough for everyone to hear it. ”That is a very suiting name for you, Mirithal.” Stephanie spoke to the tree-being fairy. Her entire emotional state was showing as a green state since the serenity of hearing that name was definitely good for her to hear. Her voice was a bit lower since she was addressing someone else.

Stephanie was looking at R for a bit until a ball of light appeared in his left hand, which shocked her was seeing an Aetheri in his hand. Her parents talked about a mischievous Aetheri but it didn’t really hit her about whom they were talking about. However, in her parents tone they didn’t really like her specifically and it was a female mischievous Aetheri. She sighed a bit and felt like she was pranked by that specific Aetheri, which is now in R’s hand. ”Hello… What’s your name?” Stephanie asked, towards the Aetheri in question. She had an annoyed look on her face but it was mostly at herself and not at the Aetheri in R’s hand. In the moment, which made her face palm at the fact she didn’t really pay attention to her parents term of ’mischievous’ that well.

Stephanie felt Asri tap her shoulder and heard what she had said. The look in her face was going through the motions of trying to figure out what Asri meant. She looked directly up to Asri, with a look of a bit of confusion. However, it took all the reactions of every single person she would speak to then tried to go into her thoughts. Her eyes went really wide about specifically whom gave it to her, which was her mother’s gift to her. She was shaken really badly about this realization and she couldn’t feel anything but absolute anger at her mother specifically for doing this to her. ”My own bitch of a mother invaded my privacy with an act of kindness… Thank you, Asri. You are the first one to tell me out of every single person in my hometown that people are hearing my inner thoughts.” Stephanie said, with a bit of anger in her voice mostly at her mother. However, the tone turned back to a normal calm tone towards Asri for telling her the truth.

She moved her hands and took off the necklace in question but held it in her hands. The necklace started to glow in an unnatural color but the magical engineered enchantment surrounding it turned off. It stayed glowing in this color as long as it was off of her neck. The entirety of her being was extremely angry at her mother for creating this awful necklace. She had always wondered why her mother was laughing at her during the forced training of learning the Firebrand Rapier. ”My family is the worst… I hope Sarah is alright.” Stephanie thought to herself with the realization of the fact her mother Rita was outright a bitch. All the necklace did was glow its strange unknown glow while in her hands but it had a slight tinge of multiple different colors it was glowing. Only the most perspective of the magical users could see this in question. She doesn’t know what was going on with the necklace in question.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Her Response to Daniel – Train to Amone

---

On August 26th

Diana looked excitedly at Kalisa, which asked her a question that made her really want to wear the scarf. She could tell, however, she really enjoyed the comfiness of the scarf though. ”I w-would love to try on the scarf. It looks really c-comfy in h-how you put it on.” Diana said with a smile on her face. She couldn’t wait to try on that comfy scarf. However, she got distracted with Daniel saying thanks and sitting down a bit away from Kalisa. It made her a bit confused about that but she didn’t want to bring up anything. She did move her hand to her pendant necklace, however and just held it a bit before Daniel started to speak. ”Mom and D-Dad, which I hope t-that nightmare doesn’t bug me anymore. It’ll b-be really nice to s-speak to you via letters.” Diana thought to herself, which was before Daniel spoke to her about her question.

In her thoughts she was thinking over a response for what Daniel was saying, until he actually said the reason for his rage. It kinda made her gasp in a bit of shock specifically at what he said. She couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed with herself but its mostly because of how she was raised compared to other people. However, her family weren’t rich, but they had wealth of happiness over wealth of being rich and famous mostly because of the fact they wanted to protect the Darscens more than anything. ”Ohh t-that’s why you yelled at me? Because of my ignorant and lack of knowledge of the outside world. My parents kinda never really allowed me to enjoy life as a fulfilling as it was. They wanted to protect me but I chose becoming a soldier in this bloody hellhole of a war. I wanted to be more than what my older sisters saw me as, a spoiled brat. Even though our family is a family of bakers and my mother fights too much. With people similar to him in how they react to Darscens.” Diana said, with only a tick of her stutter in the first part. It is kinda obvious, which person that she was referencing at the end in terms of Middleton. She completely forgot her nightmare mostly because of the fact the man, which yelled at her told his reasons it calmed her down enough.

Diana was grateful that Kalisa and Daniel both showed her the piece of information and detail to clean her rifle. She definitely paid attention to their lesson since it was definitely important to see because she is a bit naive compared to what is going on. The entirety of the lack of knowledge on her end wasn’t her fault but more of the fault of her Drill Sergeant, which she was assigned. ”I thank you both for the help of what you taught me.” Diana responded to both Kalisa and Daniel’s advice of cleaning her rifle. The look in her face kinda showed the reason for her entire being but she’s a bit hardheaded and a bit blunt, which is a problem.

In all the commotion, which was helped by someone in the squad giving her and everyone in the cabin rations. She was definitely grateful for something to eat since she was starving and didn’t really want to die of starvation. Her parents always told her to never do anything on an empty stomach, which is hilarious. ”Thank you. Yeah, don’t want to die of starvation now, which would suck.” Diana said with a smile on her face to Britta. She kinda joked about dying of starvation since this war could do so much worse to her than that. It wasn’t that much of a funny joke, however.

September 2nd

Diana had a bit of regret in her eyes while staring at her pendant necklace. That was pretty much beautiful, which had the pictures of her parents in them. However, she didn’t really want to open it since it was a bad omen to open it in a battlefield setting. She couldn’t feel like she forgot something, really important, which was the fact she forgot to write her parents. ”I should go see how everyone is doing besides Kalisa since she’s in this room. I wonder what the commotion is going on outside.” Diana thought to herself, which she did hear a loud voice of a different accent voice laughing her ass off at something she said. The accent was definitely foreign to her since she never heard it before. She got up and put away her pendant necklace just in case any thieves are on the train.

In the moment of getting up and opening the door, however, she did try on the scarf before today, but gave it back to Kalisa since yeah. She wants to be super friendly to the Darscens and not a prick like Middleton. It was definitely comfy and enjoyed, how it felt on her skin it made her happy to try it. She got out and started to walk around the train with her smile on her face, which was covering up the fact she forgot to write her parents. She noticed the Oceanic troops, which made her face drop in awe mostly because they looked much more elite than she did. However, she did see Michael chatting to the Oceanic soldiers and new reinforcements. She walked over and waved to who seemed to be the leader of the Oceanic Soldiers, who’s named Thomas. ”Oh hello Michael, who are you talking too?” Diana asked a bit of a dumb question. She had heard tales of a man named Marathon. However, she noticed a shorter male than Michael, which he was talking to as well.

She couldn’t help but smile and wave at the new recruit. However, in the back of her head she hoped no one would call her short since it is a bit of a pet peeve of her. ”What’s your name?” Diana asked towards Gwyn since she wanted to know. She did think he was cute, but no one can be as cute as Jean. The entirety of her being was a bit awed at how adorable this new recruit is, however, she’s not going to assume his age by his height, however. She smiled gently and looked over to Michael and wanted to ask him something else. ”I got to ask Michael, how old are you?” Diana asked Michael that important question and waited for his response.

Stephanie watched what was going on and it made her giggle somewhat, when the Vedish tried to protect them from someone that isn’t hostile. However, what made her eyes go wide was what came out of Vedish itself, which was a fairy made completely out of pedals. She was awed at what it was, it was so cute, which until it spoke it very cute. ”Aww… that is very cute tree-being fairy.” Stephanie thought to herself. The necklace glows in a dim color of greenish blue, which had the odd effect of sharing her inner thoughts as outer thoughts. She couldn’t help but smile and somewhat cheer up from what the Nidhogan was doing. She wiped off her tears and tried to be a bit more happier.

The instance, which made her shiver a bit when the man introduced himself specifically with what he said afterwards. It made her eyes open up a bit shocked, she couldn’t help but feel like she shouldn’t get on Vilkas’ bad side since he knows the Holy Dragon Dromon. ”Hi V-Vilkas.” Stephanie said, with a scared look in her eye but her smile is still plainly on her face. She was a bit nervous but at least. ”Also, you are cute Nidhogan in that tree-being fairy form.” Stephanie said, in awe of the form. Her tone of voice was a bit happier and calmed down enough to stop crying at least.

Stephanie had a happier on look on things mostly because of the fact, all these people are cheering her up. Mostly the Vedish, since she was sad for too long and needs to stop crying constantly. However, deep down within her mind, which she can’t release from her mind was when her mother came close to her to grab her rapier and try to cut her down. If it wasn’t for that Satelle Paladin order member there, she would be cutdown by her own mother. She was definitely grateful for that even though it’ll take her a bit to feel comfortable in the Sanctuary. ”I don’t need to wonder what my mother is doing… my parents took over my hometown by force probably. They are searching for m-me...” Stephanie thought to herself, with a determined look of not leaving the sanctuary for a bit. The necklace glows in a dim color of greenish blue, which had the odd effect of sharing her inner thoughts as outer thoughts. She was looking up to the ceiling of the Sanctuary and sighed a bit. She looked back to R with a look of wanting to see the facilities with a gentle smile on her face.

NCQuest - A Mecha RP: The Defense of Darwin (BeeNCQuest)

Chelsea R. Steiner

_{Chelsea’s Darwin Defense}

Chelsea couldn’t help but keep approaching the Sahaquiel, however, in her gut she felt something was off and was highly nervous about getting to help repair it. The one thing that caught her attention, however, was in her eye was a 94% mental contamination and the NC had gone Berserk. ”The hell… Does that mean? W-Wait… what? It w-went berserk.” Chelsea thought in her mind, however her thoughts were definitely a bit terrified. It was she couldn’t help but to freak out a bit. Therefore, she was grateful she was in her NC so she didn’t have to have her ears bleed from what she heard, which was that terrifying roar. The entirety of the whole thing made her a bit freaked out.

In the moment, she thought for a moment that she didn’t want to go forward. However, in her mind she thought what would have happened to all of the other NCs in her Battalion. Therefore, she decided to continue on her way towards the Berserked Sahaquiel. In her being she had to do it but she was utterly terrified about that fact of it being berserked. She opened the comms and contacted people apart of her Battalion. She could see engagements everywhere that involved her battalion mates, however she did see the Cody’s NC in the distance. ”Uhhh… Tall Helmet man, I’m sorry. But I should’ve asked for your name. Do you need any repairs?” Chelsea asked over the comms to Cody. However, she wasn’t really paying attention to the people’s last names, which were said over the comms mostly because of the fact. She’s trying to keep herself calm with the music but her tone in her voice definitely doesn’t sound calm.

Chelsea sighed only because of her precision scanners were active at all times. The Precision scanners have a range that is basically twice as good as the Visual feed, which in turn allows it to see more details in the area. In terms it will do what it was made for, which is detect scrap, NC damage, etc. ”Thank god the Precision Scanner is good for that.” Chelsea thought, which had a sigh involved. She, however, knew she needed to wait for a response from the NC she contacted via the Havenite Communications Channel. However, something caught her attention on the comms, which was the Encarnación’s voice asking for backup. She sighed at that mostly because her NC would get wrecked by anything since 20mm cannons can’t damage an enemy NC. ”I hope the other havenites can back her up, since she does need help. Because I can’t really help or I will get wrecked and cap-captured.” Chelsea thought to herself, with a slightly depressed look. She couldn’t really help right now but she’ll definitely repair her tank. She opens her comms and speaks to Encarnación Mariano. ”When you are need repairs I’ll help you out Encarnación. But r-right now I have more important problems to stay safe from the enemy’s guns.” Chelsea said, with a bit of respect towards her fellow battalion member. However, her tone was a bit nervous since yeah, she’s the only repair NC on the battlefield right now for the Havenites.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Daniel’s Arrival – Train to Amone (August 26th)

---

Diana couldn’t help but blink when she heard a person straining to speak towards her and Kalisa, which she looked up at the person. She was in a bit of a shock when she saw it was Daniel, which wanted to take a seat. It took her a bit to process with what she wanted to say, but she wanted to speak to him. ”Sure y-you can take a seat.” Diana responded to Daniel’s question. She was a bit curious why he wanted to take a seat, however. In her mind, she remembered she wanted to congratulate Daniel on his promotion to Lance Corporal.

She somewhat sighed a bit mostly at her reaction to what Daniel said to her. It took her a bit to recompose herself before looking at Daniel. ”Daniel, I con-congratulate y-you on your promotion to Lance Corporal. I hope you don’t mind me congratulating you for that.” Diana said, with a smile on her face. She couldn’t help but smile, which mostly because of the fact that Daniel is the same rank as Isaac now. ”Got to ask, why w-were you so a-angry at me?” Diana asked, curiously. In terms of everything she really wanted was the reason why mostly.

Diana couldn’t help but feel a bit hesitant in knowing why it was filling her with butterflies because she never knew someone who outburst like that. However, she was reminded on what her older sisters did to her all those years ago as a child. It was a something of a problem with her, which is the primary reason why she never really talked to her mother about a certain thing. ”I should have told my mother about my feelings towards both genders… B-But I need to keep focused.” Diana thought to herself, which she was reminded of her childhood friend Anna R. Mannerfield. She snapped out of her thoughts to look at her rifle, which needs clean but did ask Kalisa about it but she went to look at Daniel. ”I can’t understand, why n-no one t-told me how to clean my rifle. While I was going through Conscription Training that I barely passed.” Diana said, with a slight depressed tone. The patriotic speeches, which got her into trouble by some recruitment officers in her hometown. It frustrated her a bit but not enough to yell at the Federation for conscripting her into this hellhole.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – On the Train – Train to Amone (August 26th)

---

Diana couldn’t help but notice what Jean with Kalisa by wiping a tear, which Kalisa missed. She wasn’t really upset or angry with what he did, which was mostly because he was sweet handsome man. ”Aww, t-that’s cute. Come on Diana pull yourself together. I wish mom gave me pointers on how to get a man… but she was too busy fighting people to tell me things.” Diana thought to herself, with a smile on her face while staring at Jean. The girl allowed Jean to get passed her so he could get out since it looked like he was about to go somewhere.

Diana was shocked to notice Isaac standing in the doorway, which she waved at him. She was grateful she was apart of this squad since she is happy to see everyone within the squad, especially Jean. However, she didn’t really knew how to respond to the other NCO since he was pretty much more confident than Jean. The whole thing was a bit more frustrating to think on. ”It’s so-somewhat annoying to deal with, I hope Jean gets suited into his new role as Corporal. Since everyone needs confidence about certain things, however, I-I wish mom and dad didn’t overprotect me so much.” Diana thought to herself, with a strained look on her face. It looked like she was overthinking something but it felt like it had to do with her nightmare, which she had.

She looked directly at Jean, when he talked to her and Kalisa. The entirety of what he said got to her, which helped her get out of her runt of overthinking things. She did what she wanted in terms of speaking her mind. ”No problem Jean in terms o-of everything. You are still sweet. My m-mother did always tell me that people d-do need to sort out their problems. You will be a great Corporal.” Diana responded to Jean, with a smile on her face. The overwhelming of emotions in what she said more or less what her mother would say if she actually stopped and looked at things. She sighed mostly at her mother’s odd advice or lack thereof advice.

There was one thing that came out of her, which was giggling mostly at Jean’s genuine happy smile. It helped her lift her spirits a bit because he’s still a sweet guy. However, it still had an underlying problem, which was her nightmare that she had before getting on the train. She looked directly at Jean with a smile across her face. ”That’s okay, I-I don’t mind being here with Kalisa since she’s nice and all. And it’ll probably be nice to chat to her about things.” Diana said, however she had a look of a bit of confusion on her face. It took her a bit to reallocate some of her mental capacity to figure out what Jean just said. However, after that double take, which causes her to get highly embarrassed at what he had said. In the case she blushed at the specific words of lights of the train.’ ”Uh, okay… I will try n-not to get embarrassed. Even though t-that’s quite hard right now.” Diana completed her response blushing really red.

Diana did realize that Jean did smile at Kalisa more than her but that caused her to have a little thought in her head. ”What the…? Wish he would be playful for me because I do want him.” Diana thought to herself, with a smile on her face. Her face was still highly red and couldn’t help but smile at the compliment anyway. It kinda made her forget the horribleness, which was that nightmare in question. She waited until Jean left the room to look at Kalisa with a smile on her face. The thoughts in her head, which was all over the place the one thing, however, was mostly because she did see Kalisa blush from embarrassment. It is nice to see everyone has their embarrassing moments. ”I am enjoying being apart of t-this platoon s-so far. I did like his smile, which he g-gave to us.” Diana spoke towards Kalisa, which had a smile on her face. The tone in her voice was kind and caring for the most part and was more or less trying to spark up girl talk since yeah.

She wasn’t really told how to clean her rifle, however, all she was taught during Conscription training was literally point and shoot. The look on Diana’s face was a bit annoyed, which was mostly about the elephant in the room. ”How d-do I clean my rifle?” Diana asked, curiously and confused towards Kalisa. In case it wasn’t obvious she didn’t really ask anyone at the boot camp on how to clean her weapon in the first place. She was pretty naive in that whole thing, which was a definite problem. ”I should ha-have asked someone about this but I was too busy with being yelled at by the Drill Sergeant.” Diana thought to herself, which was a bit annoyed at herself. She face palmed at her lack of wanting to ask anyone about anything, which is mostly because of how she was raised by her overly strict parents. That means the only new experiences is mostly in the field of battle since no one can really change a Vastergoth’s mind.

She saw a darcsen scarf softly bump Kalisa in the face, which it looked soft from here. However, she wondered who threw it, however, she looked towards the Cabin door and saw Jean. This caused her to remember her daydream, which happened on the hill 58. She did notice the smile on Jean’s face as he walked away from the door. The entirety of what transpired made her a bit giggle. ”Oh that’s a beau-beautiful scarf. It must be really soft to wear.” Diana said, curiously kind towards Kalisa. Her heart was racing mostly because from the fact she had to remember the daydream all that time ago. Her face was highly red in comparison to the scarf she sees. She had never really tried to wear a Darscen scarf before, which she was mostly interested in wanting to wear it.
