The Declaration of War

The Grand chamber of the Empress Dynasty stood in absolute silence--its towering structure pressing down all present. Asuna, The Queen of all Empresss, sat upon her throne---Revy, Nia, and Mae stepped forward--sitting at her side, observing and waiting.

Across the hall, the rulers of the great kingdoms had gathered--each one knowing the importance of this assembly. All the Leaders all sat down on their seat. Waiting for what the Queen of all had to say.

Asuna:

(Low and rare declaration)

"...Greetings, everyone. As you all know, Versira Nethrion from the Legions Sentinels has returned. As we Empresss saw it."

Celeste:

(Rare exposure)

"...So it begins huh? I never Versira Nethrion to be so careless after she was erased 5,000 years ago."

Alvanor:

(Rare calculation)

"...This is could turn into a war, once Versira Nethrion has been revived."

Julius:

(Calm and low)

"...Then we dont wait. We act first."

Asuna exhaled slightly--her gaze sharpened, her certainty pressing forward effortlessly. And the she spoke. Her command poised to dictate the next move.

Asuna:

(With rare execution)

"...We do not sit idle--we prepare. Versira will not simply move without consequence, but neither will we. Every Kingdom present must align--we will unify our forces to prevent annihilation. But this does not mean blind aggression. We strike with intelligence, we move with precision."

Lucio:

(Arms crossed)

"...A full invasion is inevitable. What matters is whether we control the battlefield or let them dictate it."

Kaito:

(Rare exposure)

"...Versira commands with fear. If we let hesitation seep into our ranks, we have already lost the war."

Ryder:

(Rare determination)

"...Then let's ensure she realizes that fear works both ways."

The weight of wat pressed upon the chamber--the leaders stood tall, knowing that hesitation was not an option. The legion Sentinels had declared their intent annihilation.

Revy:

(Full command)

"...We cannot allow our people to be slaughtered by the legion Sentinels."

Nia:

(Rare determination )

"...If we falter, they will take everything, and even the entire Astral Universe, we will stand our ground."

Mae:

(Rare confidence)

"..Then we dont just defend--we prepare for absolute war."

No passivity--no retreat--only action, only execution, only survival. Ryder exhaled slightly--his stance solid, his certainty untouched. And then he spoke with anticipation.

Ryder:

(Smirked)

"...They want domination? Then we make them fight for it."

Kaito:

(Rare command)

"...We unify every force, every skill, every kingdom. We don't just fight--we dictate how this war unfolds. After all we killed them 5,000 years ago."

The chamber held it's final moments--every leader absorbed the weight of Asuna's words, knowing that war was inevitable. The strategies had been discussed. And the Asuna spoke with finality.

Asuna:

(Authority)

"...This will conclude our grand meeting for today. We will instruct procedures soon."

The meeting had ended. Each leader absorbed her words--accepting, understanding, preparing. Then they began to leave, knowing that their step carried more weight than anh before. Asuna turned slightly--her gaze locking onto Revy and Mae.

Asuna:

(Rare command)

"...Mae and Revy. Announce this later. Ensure everyone understands what is to command."

Outside--the air carried an undeniable tension, the atmosphere thick with the weight of war. Kaito and Ryder walked together--two leaders prepared to shape the battlefield before them. Behind them--Kaito crew stepped forward, Rin, Yuki, Akira and Ryoma.

Kaito:

(Rare and soft)

"...We will fight together and make sure this battle will be under our favor."

Ryder:

(Smirked)

"...Don't worry, we are going to win this fight, We got a lot of powerful people, so there is no need for worrying."

Void ling, Blaze and Seraphina gathered--unshaken and untouched, as they are preparing to come up with their own plan.

Blaze Vortex:

(Rare confidence)

"...So, we follow orders or do this our way?"

Void ling:

(Calm and soft)

"...We will dictate our own battlefield, but we will help then too.".

Seraphina Nyx:

(Rare strategy)

"...Then we make sure this war plays into our hands."

Kaia:

(Her gaze locked onto the trios)

"...Void ling, what will you do? Will you stand with us for the upcoming war?"

Void ling:

(Smirked)

"...We decided to play our own game and dominate whoever comes in our way."

Kaia:

(Rare acceptance)

"...I will respect your decision, no matter what you choose."

Ryuu:

(His face worrying)

"...Be careful with the choices you make."

Rin:

(Rare caution)

" Void ling if I were you i will listen to the Crimson Slayers, Especially if King Ryder that is warning you or Commander Ryuu."

Yuki:

(Smirked)

"...Rin, let him do his own thing. They are handle this on their own, after all they work together as a team, that's what matters don't you think?"

Glacior:

(Rare command)

"...You know what's coming, Void ling. Do not underestimate it."

Takashi:

(Rare expectation)

"...No matter what you do, the war will not wait for hesitation.

Not opposition--just clarity, just understanding that choices carried consequences. Because now--Void ling had heard their concerns, but his decision remained his own.

Void ling:

(Smirked and smiled)

"...I still stand by my words, Nobody can defeat us three. Trust us."

Blaze Vortex:

(Rare confidence)

"...Couldn't have said it better myself."

Kaito:

(Rare evaluation)

"...That means you'll shape the battlefield not just fight on it."

Ryder:

(Rare acceptance)

"...Then make sure you don't lose control of it."

The tension had settled--the alliances had been decided--but Ryder knew that words alone were not enough. The war held with survivability and possibility.

Ryder:

(Realization)

"...This is not a battle. This is not a skirmish. This is the eradication of everything we have built. As this is called The Declaration of War. Also known as The Point of No Return."

Meanwhile we moved into the Legions Sentinels, in the depths of absolute dominion, the Legions Sentinels moved. Versira Nethrion sat upon her throne--her presence towering her mastery unquestioned.

Lysandra Moon:

(Low and defining)

"...The Empresss Dynasty think they are prepared, but theh fail to understand what is coming, after erasing us elves 5,000 years ago. They will face the same history damage they gave us."

Miraleth Kurenai:

(Smirked)

"...Don't worry Moon. Let them gather, let them strategize--it will change nothing."

The atmosphere shifted, the very air bending slightly. A presence thst could not be ignored again. Zen Shingestu arrived. His smirk untouched.

Zen Shingestu:

(Rare provocation and smiling)

"...Still dictating fates without considering alternatives? I expected better."

Lysandra Moon:

(Rare dismissal)

"...You again? What are you doing here,

Zen?"

Versira Nethrion:

(Rare dominance)

"...Enough, Lysandra. Shingestu, where are your other crew?"

Not curiosity--not concern--just demand, just expectation. Zen did not arrive alone without reason--and Versira demanded answers. Zen chuckled slightly--his smirk widening.

Zen Shingestu:

(With a evil smile)

"...Now. now, Versira--you think I walk alone? You should know me better that that, don't you think Queen of all Elves?"

Miraleth Kurenai:

(Rare calculation)

"...If he is here, then the other are already moving. The only question is---where?"

Then--the atmosphere shifted. A presence beyond expectation pressed forward--three figures stepping into the grands halls of Dominion. Zen's Lieutenants had arrived.

Taro Matsuda:

(Rare authority)

"...This war moves fast. Faster than most realize."

Daichi Sato:

(Low and defining)

"...And yet, despite all the planning, none of it will change the inevitable."

Jin Nakamura:

(Smirked)

"...The only question is, does inevitability favor is--or them?"

Zen Shingestu:

(Defining and awarness)

"...And here I thought you'd all enjoy a little disruption."

Lysandra Moon:

(With rare contempt)

"...These are the ones who follow you, Zen? How utterly disappointing."

Miraleth Kurenai:

(With rare critique)

"...Ohh your lieutenants? They carry presence, but no reverence. That alone will be their downfall, never expected they still exist in this domain."

Daichi Sato:

(His face look furious)

"...Never expected? What the hell is wrong with you, do you wanna die?"

Jin Nakamura:

(Rare insult at Miraleth and Lysandra Moon)

"...You both talk so much for these who rely on Versira'd shadow to be relevant."

Not simple defiance--pure mockery, pure exposure beyond courtesy. A pause. Then Versira Nethrion inhaled slightly and spoke. Her voice erupted--not in anger nor desperation, but something far worse.

Versira Nethrion:

(Rare inevitability)

"JIN NAKAMURA, You assume that standing in my presence makes you untouchable. You forget that nothing, not even you, is beyond erasure. Insult them again, and will be turn into fireworks."

And then--Jin Nakamura did not smirk. For the first time, he hesitated. Because now--Versira Nethrion had reminded him that fear was not a choice it was inevitable.

Zen Shingestu:

(With a cold smile)

"...Ah, straight to the point, as always. No thematic, no hesitation--just absolute destruction."

Versira Nethrion:

(Rare execution)

"...We are going to attack fhe kingdom soon and in some moment. Get prepared, and ensure the armies are ready."

Zen Shingestu:

(Low and defining)

"...And here I thought you'd savor the anticipation a little longer. Very well then, Mother of Elves were shall take our leave."

Not hesitation--just amusement, just undeniable understanding of the Queen's approach. Because now--the legion Sentinels did not wait. They moved.

THIS ENSURES ZEN REACTS PROPERLY BEFORE VERSIRA DICTATES THE INVASION, LEADING INTO ZEN'S FINAL COMMENTARY BEFORE THE LEGION PREPARES FOR WAR.
