Kayden Yamamoto
Kayden landed on his knees with a wince, Eagle was very heavy to whomever it struck and it felt like he was lifting a boulder. Holding up Mantis with only one hand to block eagle, he used his other hand to make a sign using his pointer finger and extending his pinkie. "Seed Bullet!" Kayden said shooting a small seed from the tip of his fingers into Reiko's chest with such force it pierced into her body.

Kayden however did not attack and backed away slowly smiling. "You need to study harder, that seed bullet wasn't intended to make you bleed, it was intended to poison you, and you just closed the hole over it and cant get it out." Kayden said with a devious smile as the seed bullet inside Reiko started to take root, its vines spreading through her organs wrapping around them and choking them.

Kayden Yamamoto
Kayden walked towards her slowly, standing over her as she choked and gasped on the ground. "Maybe you need to see combat on the front lines first hand." Kayden said picking her up in his arms, laying her in a sitting position, Kayden forced two fingers down her throat and closed his eyes. "Fire Breed." he said sending a sentient flame into her body which consumed the seed and burnt itself out.
Back on the battlefield, Gigan and the twins Rai and Jin watched over the fifth village being conquered. The beginning of their campaign had gone flawlessly, all five of the small outlying villages had been successfully captured with minimal losses. The twins had also managed to increase the output of all the villages by over 200% giving them plenty of food and raw materials for siege weapons. Kayden had not since returned to the front to check on their progress and it was beginning to take a tole on Gigan. "It has been many days since we last saw Kayden, even though our victories were small, I think he should have been here for them." Rai and Jin looked at each other but did not share the same opinion "I believe that Kayden has his reasons for not being here, it is more than likely he is being tracked, and it is more than likely if he left the city he would lead the imperials to us. We have done an incredible job so far at destroying their patrols so that they have no idea were we are. We also managed to replace several of the imperial guards reporting back to the capital, so they think everything in these villages is fine. Kayden has confidence in our abilities, we should have confidence in his." Jin explained, and Gigans resolve seemed to strengthen with his words.
"I suppose." Gigan said with a smile. An officer made his way up to the hill where they were overlooking the battle to give them a report. "Sir news from the front, we have finished enlisting the rest of the settlement and sorting out the workers in the mines to increase metal production. On top of that, we have received a total of 8000 new soldiers from recruitment back home, and 1500 more from the villages we conquered giving us a grand total of just over 80,000 strong today." the officer said bowing his head.
Gigan however was not impressed. "We will need many thousands more if we are to defeat the imperial armies. The imperial army has never been defeated since they themselves rebelled against the Hanosa Dynasty before our current Dynasty. The Imperial Army is at least 800,000 strong and their general Catmandis Black just finished his campaign in the east to conquer the Aramani territories. His main army was away at war, and now they will likely be returning to the capital with news of this rebellion, he will be returning with the 12 as well. The only reason Heira was even in the capital was to report back to the emperor himself, Catmandis has no choice now but to return so destroy us, it is unlikely we will have much more time to strengthen ourselves before we face the full might of the imperial army." Gigan said grimly as he turned away from them. "We must prepare as best we can before their arrival." Jin said to Rai and they both took off to the settlement to prepare.

Kayden Yamamoto
"A feeling better?" Kayden said brushing her hair and sitting next to her, leaning his head on her shoulder. "After you are feeling better, we will make our way to meet General Gigan and the troops, its time we had a real battle." Kayden said kissing her cheek.

Kayden Yamamoto
Kayden smiled and brushed her hair, wrapping his arms around her. He knew she would be excited, gathering up their things, Kayden took Reiko out the secret entrance and they made their way to the rebel base to rendezvous with General Gigan.
Meanwhile, nearly 300 miles away in the Aramani borderlands, a messenger arrived on a lone horse to deliver a letter to Catmandis Black, leader of the twelve and Highlord of the imperial armies. As the messenger approached the imperial camp he rode into the command tent, jumping off his horse with the letter and rushing inside, where 11 of the 12 where making council. "Sorry to interrupt your meeting grand council, but I have urgent news from the capital." the messenger said bowing his head.
The council sat at a long table, all of their faces shrouded in darkness. "What could be so important that you would interrupt this meeting weakling." a woman's voice hissed. "We should cut off his fingers to give him a lesson in discipline." a deep mans voice echoed. The messenger stepped back a bit "I am sorry, it was a message from the emperor himself!" the messenger blurted out hastily. At the end of the table a tall pale skinned man with long black hair and many scars on his face and body stood up. His eyes were red and at his side were 4 swords, all of them with black sheathes and a cats paw on the hilt. His hands had glowing light dark red runes etched into his very skin, "What does the holy emperor himself wish to depart upon this council?" the man said, voice dark as he cocked his head to the side. "Sir, it is believed that a rebellion is forming near the capital, and Heira of the 12 was slain by an assassin of the rebellion." the messenger said bowing low. "What??!? Heira is dead?" the shrill woman's voice hissed again. "Who killed her?" the woman said, her green and slitted like a snakes. "It is believed that Kayden Yamamoto, a well known..." however as the messenger was speaking a wave like an invisible claw slashed through his throat causing him to go tumbling to the ground in a pool of blood.
The man at the end of the table sheathed one of his swords, a look of hatred spread across his face. "Take the armies back to the capital, and do not speak the name Kayden Yamamoto IN MY PRESENCE!" the man screamed causing the rest of the 10 to cower in fear.

Kayden Yamamoto
As they came upon the rebel camp they were greeted by a show of hostility. "Who are you!" a group of several guards came rushing up to them brandishing spears in their direction. Smiling Kayden swiped his hand over his face, removing the illusion that hid him. However the troops did not stand down, and Kayden looked slightly confused. "I am Kayden Yamamoto, leader of this rebellion, stand down." Kayden said his voice stern as he stood upright. However the guards began to laugh and continued to point their spears in his direction "Kayden Yamamoto huh? And I'm General Gigan I suppose!" one of the guards said and they began to laugh again. Kayden however was not in the mood and flattened his palm towards the "Flash of Lightning." he said shooting a lightning bolt into the group and causing them to scatter terrified before standing at attention and making a path for them to pass.
Motioning to Reiko, Kayden moved forward towards the command tent where he would properly introduce his apprentice.

Kayden Yamamoto
Gigan was surrounded by his officers and Rai and Jin were explaining the surrounding territory to them. As Kayden and Reiko entered the room the officers stood at attention and Gigan gave out a hearty laugh "Well it's about damn time!" Gigan said pulling Kayden into a giant hug. Kayden couldn't help but smile seeing his rebellion going so well. "I knew you guys could handle it." Kayden said and Rai and Jin smiled at each other. "Now the next phase of my plan becomes a little more dangerous and we might actually have resistance, these small villages only had a handful of guards and are nothing compared to the settlement we will be taking next." Kayden said smiling as he made his way towards the map.
Rai and Jin looked at each other and nodded their heads. "You want to take the Yaimura settlement next." They said in unison. Kayden smiled and rubbed Jin on the head "Always a step ahead of me, that is correct, it will provide many new soldiers from the population and a real base of operations to begin the rest of our campaign." Kayden said rounding the table, Gigan however saw Reiko enter the room and looked very displeased "Who is she?" Gigan said pointing to Reiko. Kayden looked over to Reiko and smiled "Why don't you introduce yourself Reiko." Kayden said, his eyes closed and a big grin on his face.

Reiko Hasegawa
Faced with the huge hulk of Gigan, Reiko was left temporarily speechless, taken aback by shyness and intimidation. In the back of her mind, she remembered Cecil talking about the general.
"He seems tough, but I guess he's a good guy," her cousin had said, swinging from a tree branch in deep thought."After all, he is Yamamoto's general. I trust whomever that guy trusts."
Pushing those thoughts and her initial reactions aside aside, Reiko listened intently to the conversation until Gigan glared at her, and Kayden suggested her introduction. Then she blushed, forgoing shyness and giving a small bow.
"My name is Hasegawa Reiko. I am an apprentice of Kayden's," she said simply. She didn't mention her dual status as Kayden's lover, knowing that if he wanted to add that, he would add that. This was a formal war meeting, so formalities should be used.
