Kamui leans back aghaisnt the wall and sighs.

 

"YOure my best friend...So i dont want any friction between our people.... You know that."

 

he says but he jerks a finger at the black dragon.

 

"But he.....He is an apocolypse...He may be here now to call on family...but soon he will be leading you to a war..I can smell death on him."

[Armoured Priest]

"Not like I can really stand up to him to begin with, and I don't mean just because he's family. He can wipe the floor with me when it comes to any pyromancy and his forces are several times stronger than what I can muster here." Orochi reminded him, sighing in turn. "And I'm not gonna lie, I don't know if grand-pa can even take back the mantle and I don't even know what happened to Burias with all of this, haven't heard from him in years. I just want to focus on what's going on here on the mainland till then cause it doesn't take a genius to see there's been a lot of shit stirring here too between clans."

[Thugren]

Kamui watches the figures that had been with the grand dragon being herded into the quarters like animals.

 

"That isnt how a commander treats men....What are those things..... arent you curious?"

 

the arbiter follows the drachens to the barracks and stays out of view, waiting to do something.

[Armoured Priest]

"God fucking damn it man, I have a whole base of people I need to worry about." The Varghen hissed with frustration as Kamui was already leaving the command operations building before he could finish. Sitting there for a moment, struggling mentally in what he should do at this point in time, Orochi stood up and the chair almost flew backwards as the incensed reptilian commander go and at least make sure Kamui doesn't do anything to piss off Adolfo even more.

[Thugren]

kamui watches as the figures go past, and he steps out in front of the herder, a drachen blut soldgier, with the markings of waht appears to be a flame drake (squad sargeant.)

"what you want big guy...Gotta get these drakes in a hot box fast..or else theyll go dormant and itll take a week to get them combat ready again.

kamuis gaze turns to the men, each one wearing suits that had visible meters for what appeared to be their time without heat, their meters blinking low.

"can you remove their helmets? id like to see waht im dealing with here..>We have beings like this at the arbiter academy..We call them haemonuculi.... Im just curious to see."

the commander shakers his head.

"cant do it big guy, Head dragons orders, the unforgiven go to rest in flame, no interuptions"

[Armoured Priest]

He could only sigh in frustration as he finally caught up with Kamui. "Kamui, come on just let them get the treatment and leave them alone. I think you and The Patriarch have done enough butting heads for today already." Orochi grumbled and put a hand on the man's shoulder as to reinforce his point in them going somewhere else instead.

[Thugren]

there is something in kaumuis eyes, as if he had seen a hated enemy.... As if there was something he needed to destroy, but finally, he relents.

"aye brother..Aye."

he puts his hands up and turns toward the commander, heading toward the barracks without a struggle.

[Armoured Priest]

Orochi could only shake his head, the feeling of between a rock and a hard place only intensifying as the day went on. He watched Kamui head back to HQ barracks, but instead of going with him, Orochi went to follow the group of forgiven being lead by the squad sergeant. If anyone was going to cross this line, it would be him on his own volition. That way whatever 'offense' that gets created stays in the family at the very least. 

[Thugren]

hold it boy..."

A firm hand puts itself on Orochis shoulder to stop him.

 

As the dragon turns around he sees the barrel chested hero of Stalingrad gate, VIctor Rusef in front of him. ALduis second in command when the old dragon was in command, VIctor is a relic of the companies older days, but one of the few men the new black dragon would not openly fight. Mostly becasue his flames, the blue phoenix where the only ones that seemed to blow out the black phoenixes attacks.

 

"i can tell you, you dont want to do waht youre thinking of doing.... Its going to open a can of worms for both you, and everyone here..."

his lets his hand go, and motions for orochi to follow.

"ill tell you, but it cannot go past that for now."

[Armoured Priest]

"Herr Rusef? You're here too?" Orochi asked as he slipped into what german his mother taught him, more than just surprised that the man was here in japan with Aldolfo. "...If you're going to tell me and open the can of worms, what difference does it make if you tell me versus me seeing whatever the hell is going on with those guys with my own eyes?"

[Thugren]

he points to to rooms where the men are being held and you can see them. The deaths head. A pair of twins of great notriety. In the Black phoenixes company, they are his left and right hand. Butchersm killers. Loyal only to the black pheonix and his dreams.

"if they see you, it will spark a fight... trust me."

he leads orochi to a room where they could be alone and locks it.

"Orchi...DO you remember the commanders son....Little burias?"

[Armoured Priest]

"I do....It's been a while now since I've heard about him let alone actually talk to my cousin, which seems like a bad sign now you're bringing him up." Orochi admitted as he raised as scaly brow in suspicion. 

[Thugren]

The older warrior lets out a sigh as he leans against a wall before he speaks.


" when the boy was young, his body was weak...Riddled with disease. Adoplfo was broken by this and...Dabbled in cloosing...He kept breeding these clones ans taking the good parts.. Hence why the boy is in prime physical  condition...Those  men...They are clones ... Little more than slavering attack dogs that he treats like dogs... In case the boy needs parts."

[Armoured Priest]

Orochi was silent for a long time, mostly to keep himself from shouting a shower of expletives and questions about what he was just told. Taking a deep breath through his nostrils. "So you're telling me those are a bunch of almost brain dead burias's, my cousin, being used as cannon fodder and personal organ donor army?" Orochi asked for confirmation. "I know our family is a bit fucked, but fucking hell.... how the hell has he been able to keep this a secret all this time?"

[Thugren]

The old man points to the deaths head that can be seen through the window.

"Adolfo is not against assasination and culling within his own army.... It has happened to many who got too close...WHich is why i am cautioning you away... "

he closes the shade and comes back, an idd smile on his face.

 

"That arbiter....He is an executive of the goverment here correct? adolfo did not anticipate him...It may stall his plans pretty well."

[Armoured Priest]

"Yea, they pretty much started butting heads the moment they met. And I have to be in the middle to mediate it, Adolfo, while an asshole is still family and my boss, and Kamui my friend I'd trust with my life. All because one of the clans here decided to fuck with something that belonged to the Dragon Patriarch." Orochi sighed. "At least, that's what Adolfo told me why he was here, unless there's another reason?" He asked with a raised scaly brow to Victor. 

[Thugren]

" he wants to bring something here....a relic....To begin a war with the outlying idalnd nations... Hes not foolish enough to stand against hthe japanese arbiters....But hes hoping to use the stealing as a vehicle to get a large enough part of land that it can act as a staging ground....The dragon plans to go to war."

THe old man says quietly, watching the young dragon carefully.

"what hes wanted since the beginning"

[Armoured Priest]

"He wants to create a staging area for assaulting the the mainland?" Orochi asked in an effort to make himself believe what he was hearing. "The mainland that belongs to Nightmare? Why would he even attempt that?"

[Thugren]

"Nightmare has ghouls.. Sentient ghouls that are masters of Human genetics.... Hand picked beings that he saved to study. He wants to get these ghouls and bring them here...And create the ultimate warriors...The ultimate dragons that do not need rest, that do not need to fall back......"


The old mans eyes are nevous, scared of the potential of waht he is saying before he continues.


"he wants to force mankind into the biggest war he can... And in doing so he wants to push evolution to a singualrity..... By doing so.,.. He thinks nightmare can be defeated."

[Armoured Priest]

"A crucible of war, fucking hell, what the fuck am I suppose to do here?" he asked more to himself instead of expecting an answer from Rusef. Orochi felt sure his will and loyalty for the Drachen family and the family he has here are going to clash hard and a choice will have to be made. "This can't happen, I need to delay that mad plan or something, make he 'succeeds' in getting the stolen property back but denied the land occupation afterwards or, something."
