Chapter 8: In the presence of my enemy

Arcadia in the meantime walked into his room where his sissy boyfriend, Star, waited for him. He was his blue silk panties with his dick printing in the front and fishnet stockings.

Plus he had his nails well manicured with red tips, lips as red as cherry and sported a pix air cut that brought off his green eyes.

As Weller came in Star got up and said, "Welcome home baby!"

With that he kissed Weller and he held his white apple bottom ass. As Weller kissed him he pulled Weller's pants down. As Weller's pants dropped to his ankle he dropped on the bed and Star got on top of him.

Arcadia dragged them up under the sheets. The guards laughed as they heard Star screamed.

Meanwhile across the universe, on the Gila Station; outside Keno Nebula

A man ran from a few men into the crowd of people. But they chased after him. The men chasing had Zodiacs Mafia symbol, a Z in a circle divided into twelve; with the 12 Zodiacs signs in each corner, on their necks.

This symbolized that they were soliders of the Zodiacs Crime Syndicate, Arcadia's personal Cartel Syndicate, soldiers. As the man ran the Security pods identified him as Justine Ruins, Arvadia's former business advisor.

As he reached the corner Mark, Arcadia's top Sicario, stuck him in the neck hard and he dropped on the ground.

As he coughed Mark held up his hand to the Zodiacs Solider to stop them and Justine identified him.

He quickly said, "Mark! I had nothing to do with what the 13 did! They did everything behind me."

"Your job! You had such a simply one. It was to do background research on people we do business with.

But you got greedy and sold us out," replied Mark as he dropped his bank statements on top of him.

Mark then got his Laser Glock pistol and Justine quickly told him, "I can help your boss! He doesn't have to do this!"

Mark then shot him four times in the chest and then the two guys pulled their guns and did the same. With that they all headed away.

An hour later Martin Victory sat at his table and then his phone vibrated from Norris calling.

He answered saying, "Greetings to the one true Emperor..."

"Cut crap! Ngamla is back and he isn't happy with how things is playing out," replied Norris as he leaned back in his chair

Victory exhaled heavily and asked, "Has he made any demands?"

Norris then said, "Well he gave me two days to vacate the palace and make way for him."

"That isn't good. Ngamla doesn't make threats or take revenge he gets even. If he is shooting like this he has a force at his beck and call. Don't fuck with him," replied Martin to him.

Norris then asked, "Why does everyone fear him? I know he was the Dark lord but he didn't win that rebellion all by himself."

"I am going to send someone to come talk to you. Ask him all you need to about your father. He will teach you not to underestimate him," replied Victory to him.

Norris exhaled and then said, "Fine. I am in."

Victory then hang up and Norris wet away.

Meanwhile back at Arcadia's Palace

Arcadia and Star had finished and he went to get a shower. When he got back from the bathroom, in his white battle body suit, he saw Star laid out on his stomach. He pulled up the sheets onto him then he kissed him on his neck.

Then he put on his belt and clipped in his silver dagger and twin pistols behind him, within the belt. Then he went out to the balcony. He looked out at the picturesque view of the sea.

Then he looked around at the waterfalls and the Forrest. He exhaled as he saw the House Weller Sail ships coming into port. Then he heard a roar and seconds later Trojan, the Alpha dragon, flew over head and he was followed by his sons, Razor and Rayon.

As Arcadia smiled he saw the Star Girls, his personal hit squad, training with the Dragon Warriors. He then headed down after them.

Meanwhile the Frontier, a large Guard class battleship and David's personal carrier, then came out of hyperspace outside of the Reach Society; with four escort ships.

As they did David stood on the bridge, with Gustave and Ghost, and then they quickly got an alert.

Ghost quickly asked, "What is it?"

"We have a squadron coming after us," yelled a technician to him.

Gustave yelled, "Sound the alarm! All men to battle stations!"

"No! You do that and we are at war," replied David to him as he stood their.

Crystalline in the meantime was training blows with Lt. Kendrick Dares, commander of the Dragon Warriors. As Kendrick stabbed at her, with his spear, she blocked with her Trident and Shield.

He managed to stuck her down and as he got near she flipped up and held his neck; with her legs. As she brought him down the STAR girls cheered.

Arcadia smiled as he watched Kendrick tap out. Crystalline soon let him go and then she got up. After getting up she helped Kendrick up.

Then she said, "You make a good sparing Buddy Lieutenant."

"You never disappoint my lady," replied Kendrick to her.

As they laughed Arcadia applauded and then Malcolm yelled, "Commander on deck!"

With that everyone went into formation and stood at attention. Arcadia smiled and walked down with Michael Calvert, Ngamla Regime Chief-of-staff, and a few Kingsguard Knights.

Arcadia then stopped and said, "As you were!"

With that everyone began to move about. He then headed to Kendrick.

After a hug he said, "I see you are still getting whipped!"

"I am still the best your Grace," replied Kendrick as he put down the spear.

Arcadia chuckled and said, "In other news I feel famished. So how about dinner?"

Everyone chuckled and a few moments later they gathered in the garden for dinner. They were served Pork fried ribs, chicken and Fresh Blood to wash it down.

As they at Arcadia realized the chair to his right, reserved for his hand.

He stopped and asked, "Where is Dylan?"

"He took the Black Knights and the Reach Forces to the East Side to fight the Ghost Riders. I hope he never comes back," replied Malcolm to him.

Everyone laughed and Arcadia said, "If he doesn't come back we might lose the Reach Society."

"Who threatens you your Grace," asked Malcolm to him.

"It's not who threatens me it is the fate of the universe. A Morningstar is in power and another is on the way," replied Arcadia to them.

Crystalline looked confused and said, "You aren't making any sense your Grace."

Arcadia had a flashback to his time in Purgatory. He reached Blatant, the Dark World Prison; in Purgatory. The Guards then took him into custody and Arcadia followed him to his cell.

Frederick and Alexander followed behind with their Assault rifles in hand.

As the cell closed Michael chuckled and Arcadia asked, "What is so funny Michael?"

"All these years I taught you died my son and Anita McPherson gave her life in vain. But here you are the long lost Prince that swore to eliminate me.

You and I could have ruled the world together," he quickly told Arcadia

Arcadia then said, "A promise made and a promise kept! House Morningstar has fallen and the rest of your family will die."

"But whose hands Rachelle and Gustave," he quickly asked him.

Arcadia then said, "Ok Michael you are fishing at something so let me give you the full scope.

My Cicadas and Sicarios will eliminate all your family meanwhile I are gone. In addition Rachelle and Gustave head the Royal Council.

I will become Emperor."

Michael exhaled heavily and said, "The only children your mother had for Marcelo was David. She feared I would kill him when he started taking to snakes. So she gave me her body, a few years of it Gustave, Rachelle, Rosheen, you get where this is going.

Long story short Ghost, Gustave and Rachelle are loyal to their father. It comes with the gene.'

" I am not loyal to you. I dispose you," replied Arcadia to him.

"True dat! But the only loyal one you have is Rosheen but, we all know you burnt that bridge years ago.

Now between them, Apocalypse and my children on Planet Morningstar led by Lucifer House Morningstar is still in power.

And in your absence they will make Norris Weller Emperor but a spoiler alert he is Lucifer's son from a prostitute he fucked." Replied Michael to him.

Arcadia, quickly said, "I will never allow a Morningstar to rule the universe."

"You are more like Marcello, my stupid brother that I can tell you. He had the same idea and told me I would never live to rule but he died before me. Even in death he is still a problem.

Because my hatred for him gave me you. But don't worry about that I will make your death quick when I return," replied Michael to him.

Arcadia then said, "You are in here and all your resources are outside of purgatory. I find it hard to see how you will return home."

"I grew up with your grandfather and a brother that twisted with fate and married to a woman that could move a thousand chess pieces per second. So I know how you think. You are exactly like them and inherited all their traits.

You like to move a thousand pieces all at once aiming at one goal. I knew the Goal was to stop me and, let's just say I can't die.

This is the only prison that can hold me. So given that I knew the outcome and I knew eventually House Weller and Ngamla Regime would put me in here all I had to do was prepare. Years ago my 12 Generals known as the 12 Knights of hell was vanquished here.

I started the Hellfire Club back on Earth and the greatest solider of all time, David Niche, is in command of it; secretly of course. And I have sending in my agents here for centuries.

So I will be out soon and marched with the greatest army ever." Replied Michael to him as he got up.

Arcadia stepped to the bars and said, "I will always be there to stop you and nothing will stop me from killing your entire family if I have to."

"I will be seeing you soon," replied Michael to him.

As Arcadia came back to Malcolm asked, "Did you tell Rosheen?"

"She wants nothing to do with me because I burnt that bridge a long time ago. I am on my own in fighting a war. And I also checked it out, they are all his kids just like me and Ghost.

I even scouted Planet Morningstar. Lucifer is his father it is the reason they made Norris Emperor," replied Arcadia to him.

"If we storm Gateway City can we win Malcolm," Crystalline quickly asked him.

Malcolm shock his headed and said, "No your Grace! His forces outnumber us ten to one. Even with House Titan Forces and the dragons we will lose."

"Nonsense! We can destroy them easily! And given that I just secured the Ghost Riders on our sides we can take Gateway City in hours.

Malcolm needs to stop reading those intelligence notes and join the fight." Replied Dylan Hunt, Commander of the Black Knights, as he came in.

Two black Knights dragged in a few restrained men and girls.

"A gift from the conquered lands your Grace. Fresh Slaves to warm your bed at night. Give me the command and I will conqueror Gateway City in your name," Dylan quickly told him as he leaned back.

Arcadia saw Malcolm's face and said, "Speak your mind."

"If you take Gateway City now and like this you will reign for seven days," replied Malcolm to him.

Dylan quickly yelled, "Nonsense! With all of us behind him he will rule forever."

"I am the commander of the Legionary Warriors, Commander of Ngamla's Forces and House Weller Intelligence Community trusts me more than they do you Dylan.

From an unsanctioned mission we learnt there is a 100 foot wall around Gateway City. We charge we can take the city as the City Watch is no match and the palace guards are walk over.

But once we take the city we have 400 lords bearing down on us each having 10 000 soliders.

Without a wall between us and them they will pick us off easily. And before you get any ideas with the Dragons the Commander of the Nagaland Empirical force is Lord Hendrick Phoenix." Replied Malcolm to him and Weller exhaled heavily.

As he saw Arcadia look scared he quickly asked, "Who the hell is Hendrick Phoenix?"

"Had you read the Intelligence Community reports you would have known he is the only man to have shot down a dragon and a skilled solider." Replied Malcolm to him.

"He is not the kind of man you want gunning for you. He is the kind you want fighting on your side," replied Arcadia to him.

Matteo ran in and quickly said, "Your Grace! A Nagaland Empirical Battle Ship is coming after us."

With that everyone got up and quickly headed to the command post. As they went there they saw Satellite image of the battle cruiser.

Mateo put on his ear piece and said, "All fighter jets on approach! Prepare to engaged on the command of the King."

The jets flew pass the Destroyer and the flight captain said, "It is all by itself your grace. Give the order."

Gustave saw them taking up attack formation and yelled, "David give the order!"

"No! They will kill us if we go to attacking. My brother is not going to let them kill us," replied David to him and everyone was shocked.

Before Arcadia responded Malcolm saw the Scorpion on the side and yelled, "Stop!"

"What now Malcolm," Dylan quickly asked them.

Arcadia turned to him, in his chair, and Malcolm said, "They are a friendly!"

"That is a destroyer being guided by five stealth jets. They are an enemy of us and needs to die," replied Dylan to them.

Malcolm ignored him and then said, "Just hale them and you will see."

Arcadia exhaled and then he said, "Genesis open communication to the destroyer."

A technician aboard quickly said, "Sir they are sending a message."

"Pull it upon screen," replied David to him.

Malcolm then said, "All Pilots standby!"

The captain took his finger off the trigger on the joystick and the other 24 pilots did the same thing.

With that Arcadia hit the communication tab and said, "Unidentified Aircraft signature 6-6-7-8-Delta attached to the Nagaland Empirical Defense Group, this is His Royal Highness King Arcadia Morningstar.

You have entered a restricted air space. If you are here for retaliation you will die. This is the Reach Society and your first and only warning."

David then touched his security tap and then said, "Authorization code: 6-5-4-delta-Alpha-Charlie-Tango!"

Genesis then said, "Identity confirmed this is Prince David Henderson's ship! All aircraft's stand down."

An halo tap then opened up in front David and Arcadia to allow them to see each other. Arcadia chuckled as he saw him.

David then said, "Hey bro!"

"I told you never to visit me at work!" Replied Arcadia to him.

David then said, "Well we need to talk."

Arcadia nodded and closed the tap.

Afterwards Ghost asked, "How did you get an authorization code?"

David looked at him and said, "I keep in touch with my family and don't betray them. In exchange I get access to classified intelligence."

With that he walked away leaving him there. Norris in the meantime walked into his room and the lights was off.

He tired it but it didn't work and as such he headed to the table. He heard a movement and as such he threw his dagger after it. A Samurai clapped his hands to stop the knives before him.

Norris quickly pulled his glock and asked, "Who are you?"

"No one can sneak upon you so you will survive the Sicarios of Ngamla. But don't underestimate him or how much power he has as you will lose if you do," replied Vincent Morales.

Norris then exhaled and said, "Victory sent you."

"What do you want to know about Ngamla," Vincent quickly asked him as he sat on a table.

Norris quickly asked, "Why does everyone fear him?"

"Well the main reason is that he was a Cicada. To the outside world they are just little band of soliders but take it from a former member they are a lot more," Vincent quickly told him.

Norris sat on his dresser and asked, "What, do you mean by former member?"

"Ok I am going to start from the top. Earth has SEALs we have the Cicada Society. The Cicada Society is a secret society that comprises of tactical tear one soldiers.

They serve neither good nor evil. And they will eliminate anyone including family if needs be.

Basically if you became a Cicada you had no family outside of it. His father an archangel and king of darkness, with few weakness.

But unlike his brothers Ngamla was born with none of his father's weakness and all his strength. He is stronger than all of the Morningstar. His mother feared what your grandfather would use him for and took him away.

But she couldn't raise or protect him. So she gave him to the Cicada Society. She taught separating him and Ghost would keep the Universe safe as they were powerful together.

But Arcadia became highly powerful in the Cicada Society and his powers tripled." Replied Vincent to him.

Norris then said, "He joined my father once."

"He unleashed his powers. Following that the Cicada Society never trusted him again. So he went where he taught he would be appreciated. For the next six years he became ruthless and the great Ngamla.

Then the he met Cassandra Winter. She gave him his soul back. She stole his heart and he chose her. He chose her over Teresa Michaelson. Married her publicly with the Black Scarabs.

But he slaughtered them and vanished after your father wanted to kill the Calderas. Michael hunted him down.

That hunt ended with the death of Ngamla's family. Michael didn't know who he was until the ship had sailed.

He taught he had recruited a young Cicada by the name of Jordan Weller. By the time he kbew he was Arcadia he was filled with rage. Arcadia turned against the Morningstar family," replied Vincent to him.

Norris quickly asked, "So Michael killed his family?"

"Yea he had killed a few of Michael's soldiers to protect what is now the Reach Society I said it. They bent the knees to him and this angered Michael so he showed force.

But when Weller confronted him he knew who he was when Weller evolved in front him," replied Vincent to him.

"So you mean to tell me that he is angry about some dead prostitute and a few children," asked Vincent to him.

"Cicada Society chooses people that is neutral, meaning don't seek power or is corrupted. Following that they train you to master your abilities, to be an elite assassin and also magic.

In addition they advanced you using witcher spells. The whole process takes ten long years and not many survives or comes out good. For some, they die, others go crazy but for Arcadia, he came out perfect.

He was ten times better than how he went in. The Cicada Society was a power thing and Michael feared them.

And House Weller became power when they took them over. He kill without mercy or question. He became a legend in a short space of time and built his own unit from the ground up.

After his adopted father, Morris Weller, was killed, The Council gant him one wish. He was allowed to she is mother and family for one day every three months.

He eliminated your mother after she slaughtered a group of innocents. House Weller and House Mornistar had a treaty.

This violated it and in retaliation your grandfather killed his family at Belshazzar and son in the Cicada Society, via Gustave. And lastly sacrificed his mother to the Phantom Zone, a dark trench in space.

All this was done from the help of Gustave and Ghosr; who happens to be your uncles," replied Vincent to him.

Norris stood up and quickly yelled, "That's impossible! They are Wellers!"

"Relax! They will not take your throne, as part of the Rebellion deal to get armies against your grandfather Ngamla couldn't kill them. And they are protected by the United Nations.

But back to the story, Ngamla wanted him dead and after no one joined his crusade he built his own army.

With that he built his own Society, Crime Syndicate and a network of businesses. With he went private and started hunting Gustave.

A few years later Gustave was deemed a treat by the UN after he killed UN Security agents. But Gustave was on the otherside of the planet," replied Vincent to him.

Norris then said, "I always knew I was a Morningstar but not so deep. So the throne is mine?"

"That is not what you should take from the story. What you should take is that Ngamla is dangerous.

He doesn't love women as he believes they can get pregnant and he will have a weakness from children.

But he gets extremely dangerous when his love ones or his toys are taken away. Don't mess with him," replied Vincent to him.

Norris leaned back and then said, "Well I am going to take him don't a bit. It is time he learns why I am the Serpent."

Meanwhile back in Eden

A few Scoun ships flew over the sea towards the Palace, in Eden. As it did Ghost and Gustave were lost for words as they saw the various technology on the planet.

Arcadia and the STAR Girls walked out to the Landing Port. He was wearing his Royal white Dashiki Suit and brown sandals laced around his feet, clocked in a White socks. The three Scout ships then landed.

As the Armed Guards disembarked from the two outer ones the middle one opened up to reveal David, Ghost and Gustave.

David then chuckled as he saw Arcadia and they quickly shared an hug.

Then he said, "Welcome back brother!"

"It feels great to be back. So why are you here," Arcadia quickly asked as he saw Gustave and Ghost with the Security detail.

David saw the tension and said, "I didn't bring an army because I didn't want a war. We are just here to talk."

As Arcadia starred at the Legionary Warriors David stepped closer to him and said, "You talk to me not them. Let it go."

Arcadia folded his fist and taught about killing them.
