Superior Splendor - Liberty ErotiCake - Chapter 31

----Chapter 31----

Written By

David Kenneth Lacey

Back in Naboka, somewhere inside of a room in the Cerberus Midnight, clothes are scattered all over the floor. As the view moves closer to the bed, underwear is also seen, and then, moaning sounds are heard on the bed. Both Bijou and Cassius are seen to be having sex in various positions while in the bed-

Bijou Luisant

...

Cassius Maverick

...

As this continues, the view then fades to black, as a scene transition occurs-

"Scene Transition"

Back at Daleraba, the battle begins between the Ascension from Above and the AI Blockades. In this battle, the Ascension start off by muscling their way through the AI Blockades in their path-

AI DIC Blockades

"EXPLOUSIONS!!!!!"

AA Blockades

...

AA Frontiers

...

Even though the attacking AI DIC Blockades have EffectPhase Fabric and beam weapons, they are still easily defeated with the help of both Princess Generals Azalea and Fayola. With them backing up their forces, they proceed to cut their way through the AI Blockades, as they move into the hole created by the AA Capital Dreadnought-

As the Ascension push their way into the opening, they fly downwards, where they will then be assaulted by several more AI Blockades. As this occurs, Captain Esyllt has her transformed Capital Dreadnought move forward and attack the incoming AI Blockades-

Captain Esyllt Requiem

Hm!

"LASER FIRE!!!!!"

As many lasers come out from the transformed ship, the attacks proceed to cut down many more AI DIC Blockades, which acts as cover for Princess Generals Azalea and Fayola. As the fighting continues, the remaining Ascension forces will descend all the way downwards and land at the bottom, where some of the Ascension Blockades will deploy some AndroIs caskets-

AA Blockades

"Deploying Caskets"

As this occurs, both Princess Generals Azalea and Fayola provide cover for the AndroIs to come online and move out from the casket, to which above them all, Captain Esyllt continues to provide cover for them.

On the ground, many AndroIs now emerge from the caskets deployed and come online, to which as they start to move, one of them asks for orders from-

AndroIs 01

What is your order, Princess General Azalea?

Princess General Azalea then issues her orders from her cockpit, as she prepares to get out to join them below-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Proceed into the Laboratory and find Media at once!!

AndroIs

Confirmed.

Princess General Fayola then adds to her sister's orders-

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Should you find her before we do, you are to take her into custody and bring her back here-alive. Not one hair on her head is to be harmed, is that clear?

AndroIs

Confirmed.

With their orders clear, the AndroIs start coming out in droves from the Caskets. As they do, they swarm towards the Doors to the Abandoned Ascension Laboratory and then destroy the entrances with their weapons-

AndroIs

"Laser Fire"

Doors

"EXPLOUSIONS!!!!!"

With their path clear, they then flood inside, and as they do, Princess Generals Azalea and Fayola depart from their Frontiers-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...

Princess General Fayola Ascension

...

Once on the ground, the two prepare their own weapons and then head into the area where their AndroIs just made an entrance. As everyone runs into the facility, it is reveled to be an immense underground superstructure. Many corridors and pathways are seen, all of which lead deeper into the facility, to which as the Ascension and their AndroIs continue to explore this area, the AndroIs are the first ones to come into contact with the horrors that wait inside-

AndroIs

...!

Shadow

!

In the darkness of this facility, the AndroIs shine their lights towards a shadow further ahead of their positions, which revels-

Ascension Failures

"Grrrr...HOWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

AndroIs

!

Suddenly, several monsters emerge from the darkness called the "Ascension Failures". These horrific amalgamations are seen to be combined from the bodies and limbs of both Ascension and AndroIs, making for several types of these abominations. As this occurs, fighting then breaks out close to where Princess Generals Azalea and Fayola are, prompting them to investigate the situation-

"EXPLOUSIONS!!!!"

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Wha?! Does the DIC have AndroIs of their own??!

Princess General asks out loud, as her sister then says-

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Let's check it out!!

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Right!!

With that, the two then run towards the direction of all of the fighting. As they get to the area, they find what is causing all of the then discover-

Ascension Failures

Groan....

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Gasp!!!

Now, several Ascension Failures will be seen gnawing at the limbs of several AndroIs. As they do this, Princess General Fayola will shine her light towards them, causing them to become agitated-

Ascension Failures

!...SHERIK!!!

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Wh-What are those things?!

As Princess General Azalea asks this, several more AndroIs will arrive to protect her and her sister from behind. They say-

AndroIs #1

Princess Generals!!

AndroIs #2

You are in danger!! Please, retreat from this area at once!!!

As they say this, both Princess Generals will do as they are told, as they are visually scared of these monsters. As they turn, the Ascension Failures then attack, using weapons similar to the AndroIs-

Ascension Failures

"Laser fire!!!!"

As they fire lasers from various parts of their bodies, the attacks will be unfocused, as they will fly around and hit the walls and floor. As this occurs, Princess General Fayola speaks up-

Princess General Fayola Ascension

AndroIs!!! Return FIRE!!!

AndroIs

!

As the AndroIs fire back, battle sounds eco within the facility. Elsewhere, deeper inside of the facility, Divitiya Iran will wait for her opportunity in the shadows, as Director Oberon speaks to her via a comms in her helmet-

"Battle Sounds"

Divitiya Iran

!...

Director Oberon Luisant (comms)

...It sounds like the Ascension have discovered their "Failures". They'll only live for a few hours, as their bodies can't handle the increase in weight from all of that tech...Hmph..hmhmhm...

As Oberon says this, Divitiya will continue to wait from her position, as the fighting rages on in the facility-

As more time passed on in the facility, a destroyed AndroIs lays on the ground-

Destroyed AndroIs

...

Only for its head to be crushed by a Ascension Failure, which stomps on its head-

"CRUSH!!!!!"

It is then reveled and then opens up its mouth, which is then connected to its chest and stomach. As it opens, many lasers are then exposed and then fire at many other AndroIs in the area, and as they are destroyed, Azalea and Fayola are seen to desperately run and hide behind some cover down the hall. As they do, they speak.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...Damn it!!! I never imagined the DIC had these abominations here!!

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Azalea!! We need to think of something, as our AndroIs aren't capable of beating these monsters!! They're outmatched!!!

As she says, many AndroIs are destroyed by the Ascension Failures down the halls all around them. Sounds of battle can be heard everywhere, with the AndroIs being reveled to be suffering heavy losses. Even though a few AndroIs manage to kill one or two Ascension Failures here and there, more just keep coming, so Azalea then speaks-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...!

In the corner of Azalea's eye, she spots a map hanging on the wall. She has to sprint over to it, avoiding the blasts of lasers that come from one of the Ascension Failures, and when she grabs the map, she then rushes back to where her sister is and reads it as she provides cover-

"Laser Fire"

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Azalea!...What does that map revel?!

Princess General Fayola asks over to Azalea, while desperately firing back at the Ascension Failures. She replies-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...Media is a short way down this hall!!!

Princess General Azalea says, as she then speaks up to the remaining AndroIs in front of the cover that she and her sister are hiding behind-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

AndroIs!!! Cover us while we run down this hall to find Media!!!

AndroIs

Confirmed!

With their orders understood, the AndroIs now form a wall of AndroIs in front of the gap between Azalea and Fayola. The two then take their chance and dash down the hall, while the Ascension Failures continue to bombard the AndroIs. As the two go, fires and sounds of battle eco throughout the facility, but the two sisters don't stop, as they are committed to seeing Media again. As they continue to run, several AndroIs are seen to run with them, and then, they soon get to where the map says. Azalea speaks-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...That room down there should be where we need to go!!

Princess General Fayola Ascension

AndroIs! Come with us inside of there, so we can barricade the door from the inside!!

AndroIs

Confirmed.

Just before the two Princesses dart into the room, several Ascension Failures will appear and shoot at the group-

Ascension Failures

"Laser fire"

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Ah!

As both Azalea and Fayola quickly dash into the room, several of the shots will be seen to impact Princess General Fayola's left leg. She is still able to get into the room, along with a few AndroIs that make it-but the rest behind them are destroyed.

Unaware of what just happened, Princess General Azalea's first thought it to order-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

AndroIs!!! Lock the door!!!!

AndroIs

!

With Azalea and Fayola inside of the room with 3 AndroIs, they will quickly lock the doors from the inside. As the two catch their breath-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Hah...hah...hah...

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Phah...phah...phah...phah...

The two are clearly exhausted from their long sprint and the near-death experience they just had. Then, something slams against the door on the outside-

"SMASH!!!!!" "BOOM!!!!!!"

Princess General Azalea Ascension

PWHAA??!!!

Something heavy is seen to smash against the door from the outside. It then stops when it realizes that it can't get through, so then, Azalea speaks.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...Those things...why do they attack us when they were...people...?

Princess General Fayola then replies, quietly in pain-

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Ha..hah...those things...they aren't like us at all, Azalea. They are just...animals...nothing more...Hgn!!

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Fayola?...Gasp!

Princess General Azalea now notices that something is very wrong with her sister, as she looks at her. Princess General Fayola now screams out in pain-

Princess General Fayola Ascension

AHH!!

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Fayola!!! What happened?!!

As Princess General Azalea looks at her sister, she sees a small pool of blood around her left leg. She then speaks-

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Heh...I didn't think I'd be the one to get hit today...

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Fayola...

Shocked to see Fayola like this, Princess General Azalea is unsure of what to do next. In response, Princess General Fayola looks at her and says-

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Azalea...go and get Media for me...please...

Princess General Azalea Ascension

What?! Are you crazy?!! I have to stay here with you and try to...treat this...

Princess General Azalea says, worried for her sister. However, she will now realize that there are no medical supplies to help her sister with to patch up her wounds, to which Fayola will then reply-

Princess General Fayola Ascension

I'll be fine...please...there is something important that I have to tell her...so just...go and get her for me...

Princess General Azalea Ascension

!...

With this Princess General Azalea will think it over. A moment later, she will then issue these orders to the three AndroIs behind her-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...You two. Stay here with Fayola and make sure nothing happens to her. I will go ahead with this AndroIs and find Media.

AndroIs

Confirmed.

With that, Azalea has to leave behind Fayola with the two AndroIs. As she does, she speaks to Fayola-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...I'll be right back, Fayola.

Princess General Fayola Ascension

...I'll be here...Azalea...

As Azalea and the AndroIs leave, Fayola is seen to take out a letter from her pocket and holds it in her hands. As she does this, a shadow watches her in the room, to which Oberon then speaks to her via her comms-

Director Oberon Luisant (comms)

...How lucky for you, Divitiya. One of the Ascension Princesses was hurt in that skirmish outside.

Divitiya Iran

Yes.

Director Oberon Luisant (comms)

She is your target, Divitiya. Do not hesitate, as with this, we will win this war with the Ascension.

Divitiya Iran

Yes.

With that, Divitiya then prepares her weapon of choice-a gun-in her hand. Then, back with Azalea, she is seen to be walking down some stairs, as the area is now reveled. It is a circular prison area that extends downwards with multiple floors. On each floor, a row of one-way mirrors is seen to show the insides, which look familiar to Azalea. She speaks.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...I remember these rooms. This was where they would keep us, as they observed us from this side...

Azalea then sees several tables in front of the one-way mirrors, to which she then inspects. One of the tables in front of her still has notes, to which she speaks.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...Hmph. They really did take notes of everything us Ascension did. They even had microphones to hear everything that we said to each other as well...those damn DIC pigs!

Azalea then tosses down the notes, as she then speaks to the AndroIs silently following behind her.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...AndroIs. Can you tell me which of these cells has Media in it?

AndroIs

...Scanning.........!

As the AndroIs scans, it moves it head down many times, to which it then stops and speaks.

AndroIs

Confirmed one lifeform on the lowest floor. Down there.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...!

By leaning against the guardrail, Azalea looks down and then sees a faint light on the lowest floor. With this, Azalea then hurries down the stairs with the AndroIs following her.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

C'mon! Let's go down there right away!!

AndroIs

Confirmed!

As Azalea and the AndroIs run down the stairs, they have to go down 10 floors to get to the bottom. Once on the bottom, several doors are seen which could lead to other similar areas just like the one that Azalea are in, and then, Azalea then runs up to the one-way mirror and then begins banging against it.

*BANG!!!!* *BANG!!!!* *BANG!!!!*

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Media!!! Media!!!!

On the opposite side, Media is seen to be sleeping, to which she then gets up as she hears the banging. She speaks while on the bed.

Princess Media Ascension

...Who is it?

Media can't see who is banging against the mirror, as it's a one-way mirror. On the opposite side, Azalea is then seen.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...Dammit. I forgot this is a one-way mirror... AndroIs. Use your weapon to destroy the top part of this one-way mirror!!

AndroIs

!

"Laser fire"

The AndroIs then does what has just been told, shooting a few laser shots at the top part of the one-way mirror. With holes inside of the one-way mirror, Azalea speaks.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Media!!!

Media now gets up and speaks-

Princess Media Ascension

Azalea?! Is that you?!!

Princess General Azalea Ascension

Yes!!! I'm going to get you out of there!! Stand away from the mirror!!

Media is now seen to move herself out of the way from the one-way mirror. She then speaks-

Princess Media Ascension

...Alright, I'm ready!!

Back with Azalea, she then speaks-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...AndroIs. Destroy this mirror!!

AndroIs

!

The AndroIs then fires many laser shots into the mirror, to which it then shatters. As it does, Azalea then hastily hops inside. As she does, Media then goes up to her and hugs her.

Princess Media Ascension

Azalea!!!

Princess General Azalea Ascension

!

As Media hugs her sister, she is seen to be overjoyed. Media speaks.

Princess Media Ascension

...Finally...I...I can see you again...

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...Media...

As Azalea looks at her sister, her eyes are shown to be very empathetic to Media. Azalea is nearly about to cry, as she then holds her sister in her arms.

As this scene unfolds, back with Divitiya, she is seen to slowly approach Fayola from the stairs that Azalea and the AndroIs went down from. As she does, the AndroIs become alerted and point their weapons at the sound, as Divitiya approaches-

*Tap...Tap...Tap...Tap!*

AndroIs

!...

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Azalea? Media? That sure was..."Gasp"!

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Who...who are you?!

Divitiya doesn't respond, as she then rushes forward and easily destroys the two AndroIs that were protecting Fayola before they can even fire a single shot at her. Her speed is incredible, to which Fayola then pulls out a gun, but then Divitiya knocks it out of Fayola's hand, breaking it as she does. Fayola screams out in pain-

"Crack!!!"

Princess General Fayola Ascension

UGAHHH!!!!!

Divitiya Iran

...

Now crippled even further, Fayola leans back, as she holds onto the letter in her other hand. She then speaks.

Princess General Fayola Ascension

...Why...why are you doing this?!? What do you want?!!

Divitiya Iran

...

Divitiya doesn't respond, to which Oberon then speaks to her through the comms in her helmet.

Director Oberon Luisant

...Divitiya. Revel ONLY your face and background to Fayola. She's about to die anyway, so there's no harm in showing her that, at least.

Divitiya Iran

!...

With her new orders, Divitiya then stops her attack on Fayola and then proceeds to take off her helmet. As she does, her face is then reveled to Fayola-BUT NOT TO THE READER, as Divitiya will simply stand in front of Fayola with her face exposed and her back facing the viewer. Fayola is stunned by what she sees.

Princess General Fayola Ascension

...Ah!

Divitiya is unfazed by Princess General Fayola's reaction to her. Divitiya then speaks.

Divitiya Iran

My name is Divitiya...Divitiya Iran, and I am the second created species to be created after the Ascension.

Princess General Fayola Ascension

!

Fayola can't believe her eyes, as her jaw is left open by the sight of Divitiya in front of her. Divitiya then continues, with her back still turned towards the viewer.

Divitiya Iran

I see you are amazed. That's to be expected, as I'm sure you and the Ascension never thought the DIC and the Confederation would continue creating others like ourselves. Right?

Princess General Fayola Ascension

...Yeah...

Faced with this question, Fayola then speaks.

Princess General Fayola Ascension

...You...said you are the "second created species" to come after us Ascension...what does that mean?

Divitiya then picks up the gun and then points it at Fayola's head. Fearful, Fayola backs up as close as she can to the wall behind her, but there is no where left to run. Divitiya then speaks, as Fayola looks at her with a desperate face.

Princess General Fayola Ascension

Ghh!

Now, Divitiya speaks.

Divitiya Iran

It means that after this war with the Ascension ends in the favor of the DIC...the "Ascension" will be destroyed-only to then be recreated once more, as the DIC and Confederation still have your "Genetic Code". The ones that'll come after you all will then join me and millions more, as the DIC and Confederation will recreate all of the "lifeforms that are now extinct".

Princess General Fayola Ascension

?!

A few seconds later, Divitiya shoots Fayola, as the view moves away from her and Divitiya-back down to where Azalea and Media are. They hear the gunshot and then speak.

*BANG*

Princess General Azalea Ascension

?!

Princess Media Ascension

...A gunshot?!

AndroIs 01

...

Azalea now speaks.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

I left Fayola back up there, because she had an injured leg...!

Princess Media Ascension

...!

Now realizing that Fayola could be in danger, Azalea and Media both rush out of the cell and run back up to where Fayola is. As they run, they pant heavily, and then, at the top of the stairs-

Princess General Azalea Ascension

"Gasp!!!"

Princess Media Ascension

!

AndroIs 01

...

In front of the two sisters, laying against the wall on the floor, Princess Fayola lays motionless from a single gunshot to her head. Blood is seen coming out of her head, which prompts both Azalea and Media closer to her.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

.....Fay...ola.....

Princess Media Ascension

...My...sister...

The two slowly approach Fayola, and then once they are close enough, Azalea falls to her knees. Her face is wrenched in pain, as tears fall off her face as she looks at Fayola. Fayola is motionless, to which she then cries.

Princess General Azalea Ascension

...ARRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

As Azalea cries out loud, Media also cries, as she kneels down and sees the letter in Fayola's hand. She picks it up and reads it. As she does, her hands drop the letter, and she then speaks as she cries.

Princess Media Ascension

She...wrote this apology...just for me.......Fayola......."Cries"

Media now continues to cry, as the view then pans out away from them. The AndroIs behind them silently watches them both cry, and then elsewhere, Divitiya is seen to be walking down a passageway-with her helmet back on her head. Director Oberon speaks to her via her comms, as she coldly walks down the blood-streaked halls.

Director Oberon Luisant (comms)

...You did well, Divitiya.

Divitiya Iran

Thank you, Director.

As Divitiya continues to walk away, she gets to the area where the submarine is waiting for her to arrive. Once she gets inside, she is greeted by several Caretakers, as Director Oberon continues-

Director Oberon Luisant (comms)

Everything is now set for President Sacha to deliver his speach first thing tomorrow morning-while all evidence of this island will disappear by then.

Divitiya Iran

Yes.

With that, the submarine that Divitiya and the Caretakers are in will dive under the water and head out of the island through a secret passageway. Once it leaves, back above in the hole created by the Ascension Capital Dreadnought, a huge metal sheet now extends outwards from the edges and causes the entire area below to be cut off from leaving-

Metal Sheet

"EXTENDING" "LOCKING"

As this occurs, Captain Esyllt will speak from her seat-

Captain Esyllt Requiem

Oh no!!! We'll be trapped!!!

Advisor Noihs Ikuzu

Damn...

With this, the scene will then transition-

"Scene Transition"

In the morning, back in Naboka, two Superior Weapons are seen leaving the island-heading towards the northwest-

B3 Superior Weapons

...

As they go, inside of them are Vanilla and Chocolate, who make a very brief appearance here. As they go, at the port area the Cerberus Midnight is seen to be leaving as well-

Cerberus Midnight

"Departing"

As this ship leaves port, the bridge will be shown off, where Fleet Captain Andrea now receives an update of their departure from-

Arbiter Alexia Blue

...Fleet Captain. Both Vanilla and Chocolate are heading back to New Columbia now.

Fleet Captain Andrea replies-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

Thank you, Alexia. AI Cody? Are you there?

AI Cody

Yes, Fleet Captain.

Fleet Captain Andrea now speaks-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

Take us back to Wippertan at once, please.

AI Cody

Of course.

As it says this, AI Cody will now activate the EffectPhase armor for the Cerberus Midnight. Once it's active, the ship will leave the port of Naboka and begin its trek back to Wippertan by flying in the air. As it goes, a brief shot of Commander Cobalt is seen, inside of an office somewhere inside of Naboka-

Cerberus Midnight

"Flying"

Commander Cobalt Risingstar

!...

As the ship leaves Naboka, back inside of the bridge, Fleet Captain Andrea will now stand up and proceed to leave the bridge-but not before giving these orders to Arbiters Alexia and Noel-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

Continue to monitor our trek back to Wippertan and inform me if there are any disturbances...

Arbiter Alexia Blue

Yes.

Arbiter Noel Blue

Yes.

"Scene Transition"

With that, the scene will transition, as Fleet Captain Andrea will walk back to her private quarters. As she gets to her room, she will then bump into two individuals, who approach her private quarters from the other side. It's-

Bijou Luisant

Good morning, Andrea.

Cassius Maverick

Hello.

To which Fleet Captain Andrea replies-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

Thank you for coming to see me. Did you bring what you found in that envelope?

Fleet Captain Andrea asks, to which Bijou then proceeds to take out the USB stick that she discovered in the envelope back on the Ascension Capital Dreadnought. She then presents it to Fleet Captain Andrea, saying-

Bijou Luisant

This is it.

Fleet Captain Andrea now takes the USB stick in her hands and looks at it frimly. A moment later, she then says-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...Sigh...I'm sure you've already cried enough when holding this...haven't you?

Bijou Luisant

...Yes.

Bijou now looks away, as Fleet Captain Andrea probes slightly into what Bijou did with this before now. However, she won't probe any further, as she looks at Cassius as she says-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...Come on. Let's go inside and see the contents together.

Cassius Maverick

Thank you.

Cassius says for Bijou, as the three now head inside of Fleet Captain Andrea's personal quarters. As the three enter, Fleet Captain Andrea goes to get a laptop to connect the USB stick into, as Bijou and Cassius sit down at the table-

Bijou Luisant

...

Cassius Maverick

...

Soon, Fleet Captain Andrea comes back with a laptop that has powered on, and she then places it onto the table and sits herself down next to Bijou and Cassius. A few seconds later, the laptop is on and so Fleet Captain Andrea connects the USB stick into the laptop, which then brings up a document on screen-

Laptop

!

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...Alright, let's start by opening this file...

Cassius Maverick

...!

Bijou Luisant

...!

As Fleet Captain Andrea opens the file on screen, the three then see a document inside of the file-which Fleet Captain Andrea goes ahead and opens. With the document on screen, Bijou then reads out loud-

Bijou Luisant

!...Operation SEED, by my father-Sacha Luisant, Georges and Oberon. All calculations were processed by "SYSTEM-DESTINY", the world's first humanoid quantum-computer dubbed "Hyper-AndroIs".

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...

Cassius Maverick

...

With this, Fleet Captain Andrea moves the document downwards, as Bijou narrates everything-

Bijou Luisant

...Beginning in the year 2020, my father...created a humanoid quantum-computer that will have the sole purpose of finding a way to save Consumers from the dying planet that they walk upon, called Gleen. Once "I" had been created, I tasked the Luisant and Pinnacle families with following an "Operation" that we calculated to be the only way of saving everyone-which I called: "Operation SEED".

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...Interesting.

Andrea says, as several scenes are shown in the past of Sacha and Georges working to create the Hyper-AndroIs named SYSTEM-DESTINY. This machine is similar to that of an AndroIs, but is much more complicated, with even Director Oberon helping to create it. They make it's form that of a woman with dark skin, as well. Bijou then continues to speak-

Bijou Luisant

The beginning of my Operation started with the creation of a single habitable space colony called "Mainland" in low orbit, which will serve as the home for the "enemy" to Humanity. This station should be completed within a decade and be capable of housing a maximum of 110 million individuals, while further Mainlands taken from Gleen will not be needed.

More pictures revel the first Mainland in space and its construction. There will be more resources found in the Confederation, but that will not be covered. Bijou continues-

Bijou Luisant

Throughout the 10-year period of the Mainland's construction, several current technologies must be expanded upon to become military weapons and delivered to Mainland for the enemy to utilize. The first and most important piece of tech being the experimental terraforming nanomachine technology dubbed "SEED", which when sent to another planet will terraform its environment into a habitable state for plants and organics to live upon within a decade.

Bijou Luisant

Other technologies include mass produced AndroIs models based on myself and military variants of "Construction Blockades", which are based on the White Block-the first "true" Blockade. Three prototypes will be used by the DIC, while the successors of these weapons will be used by the enemy in Mainland-with a final variant being saved for the conclusion of my plan.

With this, several new images are seen with several kinds of different Superior Weapons laying on many construction beds. They are seen to be the PeaceBringer Blockades, OrderFinder Blockades and WingCalibur Frontiers, which at this time are being mass produced for the DIC. As for the B1, B2, F1 and F2 that the Ascension use, they were also massed produced in specific quantities and given to the Ascension-while the B3s were also mass produced and stored for use later on in Old Columbia.

As for the Liberty ErotiCake, President ErotiCake, Vice President ErotiCake, Democratic ErotiCake and Republican ErotiCake, they are shown to be a part of a separate line of Blockades based on the B3. Their construction was meant to serve as the personal eyes and ears for SYSTEM-DESTINY, as she could control them directly if she needed to. Other variants such as the Medical Blockades and Stage Fright Frontier are also based on the White Block's design.

After this is explained, Andrea speaks up-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

Well now! That explains where the enemy-...the Ascension got their pilots from, as well as their Superior Weapons. The DIC built them all to use against us from the very beginning.

Cassius then says-

Cassius Maverick

...Who side is President Sacha even on? Giving the AA the most powerful Superior Weapons while we were stuck with the prototypes all this time is just...

Bijou Luisant

!...

Sensing the hint of suspicion from Cassius, Bijou remains quiet, until resuming-

Bijou Luisant

...Concerning this "enemy" that I've mentioned, after much analyzation of Consumers, I have come to the conclusion that the people of this world will never commit to building for themselves a future for their children-unless they are faced with an enemy that threatens their very existence. In order to bring about that threat, the Luisant and Pinnacle families must create a new race of humanoids that will then "motivate" the people to want to leave this planet behind and begin looking towards the future in space.

Bijou Luisant

This new race of people can be created using "Genetic Codes", which will be cells that are cultivated from "extinct animals" and can be placed into the embryos of Consumers, so that they develop animal features over time. The Pinnacle family knows more of these techniques, of which I'll entrust this task to them and expect results within 12 years. Oberon may also use Daleraba as a potential site for these experiments.

Bijou will be perplexed by this, to which she will then speak.

Bijou Luisant

"Extinct animals"? Was this person talking about lifeforms like the "Dodo"?

Cassius replies-

Cassius Maverick

I think so. The Pinnacles always prided themselves on their skill in genetic engineering...but to revive dead animal cells and inject them into consumer embryos is...

Bijou Luisant

...

Bijou will then look down in disbelief, but she will then concentrate and then get back on track.

Bijou Luisant

With a Genetic Code, a population of 10,000,000 individuals should be created before the year 2030. The DIC and Confederation may also create other Genetic Codes within several other laboratories-but they must not allow for an explosion of life to be created just yet-so as to avoid overuse of remaining resources at this time. One last piece of technology that can be created today are cryostasis pods, which will need to be mass produced per how many individuals can be created during this time as well.

Now, several images of Director Oberon organizing the creation of Catalyst within the Understructure of Delaraba is shown. The materials, test samples and personal are all organized throughout the 10-year time period that it took for the Mainland to be created, to which in just 7 years, the Ascension are then created via the Genetic Code. The DIC also have mastery of the Ascension's genes, so that when they create a batch, they are then a determined age right from birth, which negates the need to grow them during a lifetime. After these scenes play out, Bijou is shown and speaks.

Bijou Luisant

And lastly, a space navy for the enemy is needed in space, which will consist of 10 Capital Dreadnoughts equipped with EffectPhase armor. One of these ships...Ghh!!

Bijou leans forward in an alarmed fashion, prompting Cassius to speak to her-

Cassius Maverick

Bijou? What does it say?!

Bijou Luisant

...One of the ships that the Ascension have was built specifically for orbital bombardment using kinetic warheads!!!

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

What?!

Cassius Maverick

!

Horrified by this, both Andrea and Cassius lean forward in a hurry as Bijou says this. She speaks-

Bijou Luisant

...What could my father be thinking, giving the Ascension such deadly weapons?!

Cassius replies-

Cassius Maverick

...I think I may know...remember how the Ascension have been going around destroying all of our Umbrellas for the past month?

Bijou Luisant

!...Oh...no...

Bijou now starts to understand the severity of what her father has done. Cassius continues-

Cassius Maverick

By doing that, most of our Understructures are now left exposed...to anything coming from the sky...

Bijou Luisant

!...Just like Vanilla and Chocolate warned me about...

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...Dear goddess...

With the thoughts coming to mind, Bijou and Cassius now envision a time when kinetic weapons bombard the now exposed Understructures in the DIC. There is no way to survive such an attack, as the horrific scene plays out in an example.

Afterwards, Bijou is about to cry at the idea, until Andrea speaks to her-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...Bijou...can you please continue...?

Andrea says to Bijou, who is barely able to reply.

Bijou Luisant

...Alright.

Bijou says, weakly, as the details of Operation SEED have greatly worried her. She speaks.

Bijou Luisant

...The rest of this page just details some more information about several minor topics, such as the Ascension Princesses and how...my mother was supposed to be the pilot of the Liberty ErotiCake in this war... Strange that Destiny would suggest that, as I could've seen...Rebecca being the pilot instead of me or my brothers...

Bijou Luisant

The people who made the Ascension were even able to implant and manipulate the minds of the Ascension so that they would respond more positively towards a gender they were a part of. ...That's probably why the Ascension Princesses had such an interest in me...

Bijou continues-

Bijou Luisant

...But, if the pilot was supposed to be my mother...and she went missing back when...!

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...Bijou?

Bijou now notices something on screen, and speaks-

Bijou Luisant

Hold on...ah! This next part talks about that mission that she went on in more detail...the one you were a part of.

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

!

Intrigued, Andrea allows Bijou to speak. She does-

Bijou Luisant

By 2033, a leak of this groups' creation will be allowed to circulate through monitored channels of media outlets, in order to instigate a secret insurgency during a planned trip to Old Columbia. It's here where all 10 million individuals will be allowed to be "captured" by the insurgency and taken into space to commandeer Mainland for themselves-where they will find all of the tools they need to start a war with the DIC.

Based on what she says, Bijou will say-

Bijou Luisant

...I can't...I can't believe this!!!

Bijou now raises her voice, as she asks-

Bijou Luisant

...What if the leader of that insurgency...was my mother?!

As Fleet Captain Andrea replies-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

That's impossible, Bijou! Your mother would never attempt treason against the DIC, as that would mean turning her back on you as well!!

Bijou Luisant

!...

Both are equally stunned at the idea, while Fleet Captain Andrea's reasoning sounds solid enough. Cassius then speaks-

Cassius Maverick

...Hey, let's not jump to any conclusions just yet, you two. There is still more to this Operation that you've yet to say, so more information could come out that changes our understanding right now.

Bijou Luisant

...

Cassius just aims to be the voice of reason. Bijou can respect that, as can Andrea, to which they then speak.

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...You...are right, Cassius.

Bijou Luisant

Let me continue, then...!

Bijou continues-but before she speaks, she looks at the page header and then sees something odd, as she points this out-

Bijou Luisant

...Huh...the page header looks...different.

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

What?

Bijou explains-

Bijou Luisant

For the pages that I just went through, the header read "2nd Draft (Final)". But on this page, it now starts saying "3rd Draft-without the "(Final)" part.

Cassius Maverick

...Maybe it means that this next part was added in after the original version.

Bijou Luisant

...!

Bijou sees something that amazes her. She speaks.

Bijou Luisant

After the individuals take Mainland, they will a few years to become familiar with the weapons that are going to be left for them to use against the DIC. It's here where they should now be ready to fight to protect their own interests-but it is highly likely that they will instead attempt to flee from our space with Mainland to live away from us.

Bijou Luisant

In response, Sacha must direct a covert kidnapping of one of someone close to leadership, whom will be forcibly brought back to the DIC and held in Daleraba-where the Ascension Laboratory is located. This should be enough to spark open hostilities between them and the DIC, to which a war should occur.

Bijou Luisant

!...Once again, there is that header mistake again...

A quick shot of what Bijou is looking at is shown. Cassius then speaks up.

Cassius Maverick

It's probably not important, Bijou...anyway, with this information, this proves that the DIC instigated the whole war with the AA behind the scenes...

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...I think I know what happens next, but please continue, Bijou.

Bijou does as she's told-

Bijou Luisant

...This next part discusses the early part of the war, back 7 months ago. The people who were sent to the Deserted Islands were intentionally sent instead of trained pilots to "encourage the Ascension to leave Mainland and present themselves at Hilayornia", so as to propagate their views on their creation to the people...

Bijou Luisant

...

After reading this, Bijou can hardly mutter another word, as she then remembers all of the people who brought her to this point. Realizing that all of their deaths were just to motivate the Ascension to speak to the people of the world, Bijou sees all of the people who died before now in her mind. Their faces then become a blur, as Andrea speaks-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...Unbelievable...all of those civilians died...just to coax the Ascension to come out of Mainland...

Cassius Maverick

There...there had to have been another way...surely...what good is this world that your father wants if this is what was needed to be done?!

Bijou Luisant

!

Stunned by Cassius's outburst, Bijou falls silent. A moment later, she then speaks to Andrea.

Bijou Luisant

...

Bijou Luisant

...Andrea...can you please read the rest...I can't see straight right now.

Bijou hands the rest of the documents over to Andrea, who now has tears swelling up in her eyes. Andrea then takes out a tissue and hands it to Bijou, to which she takes, as Andrea then skims over the rest of the Operation. She speaks.

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...The rest is just talk about the major plot points of the war that we just went through. The kinetic blasters were intentionally kept in short supply to help the Ascension early on...The Ascension takeover of the Pinnacle Department...hmm...it seems that the place where this Hyper-AndroIs called Destiny is at is in Hilayornia.

Bijou Luisant

...

Cassius Maverick

...

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...Six months after the start of the war, the negotiations that happened between you and Howard were foreseen to fail. But, the true reason why we went down to New Columbia was so that Destiny could cripple the RF through our ships, so that they wouldn't become a threat later on and to make them fall in line with what the Ascension wished for.

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...That explains everything that happened back there...except for...

Andrea now takes a closer look at the documents, to which she then speaks.

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...There is no mention of Rebecca doing what she did or what you mentioned to me about the Foundation's activities, so it could be that...

Bijou Luisant

Georges and my father didn't anticipate their actions...

Both Andrea and Cassius look sad for Bijou, to which Andrea then looks at the final parts of the document in front of her. On the last page, Fleet Captain Andrea then looks over the final details, to which she then speaks-

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...And this page talks about the end of Operation SEED.......my goodness...

Bijou Luisant

...What does it say?

Fleet Captain Andrea Regalia

...

Bijou Luisant

...!

Cassius Maverick

...!

As Andrea tells Bijou and Cassius, the scene then pans out of the ship, as it gets close to Appledale. Then, the chapter ends.

----CHAPTER END----
