*Future Empires*🏰 *Chapter Six* 'The Grand Summit' "Stay with me,stay with me,Steve!God damnit make way!!",Kitanna yelled applying pressure on Steven's wound while he was laying on a stretcher speeding to the nurse room. "Steve!Don't close your eyes,don't close your eyes we're almost there okay?",Sileena was holding his hand with Hailen at the other side.Jessie headed to the nurse room to inform the doctors to ready their equipment.They arrived and the doctors assisted and put him on the bed and he was put on oxygen support. "I need you and your comrades to stand outside while we try to get him into shape",Doctor Kelein insisted. "Okay but you do everything you've got to make sure that soldier sees dawn,you got that?!!",Kitanna insisted. "We'll give it our all general",he replied. "Come on,we should give them their space",Kitanna insisted. "What?!Why,he needs us!!We need to be right here with him!!",Sileena disagreed. "Sileena she's right",Hailen put her hand on her shoulder,Sileena's tears were already soaked on her cheeks. "No!!How can you say that?!",Sileena threw her hand away. "Sileena the doctors need all of their focus or he won't get any better.We all want to stay but its actually unessential for us at the moment so please try to understand",Jessie explained.She stormed out with her tears falling.Jessie attempted to go after her and Kitanna stopped him. "Let her go,for now",she said,"as for us let's just give these doctors their time and I'll head to the computer room",she said. "What?This late?",Hailen asked. "This late meaning its almost dawn.So there's no point sleeping anyway",Kitanna replied. "What are you gonna do?",Hailen asked. "I'm gonna find a way to cripple that piece of blonde son of a b***ch!",Kitanna walked out and they both waited outside.Hailen noticed Alicia leaning against the wall with her back in the hallway lost in her thoughts. "Um,hey Alicia,you okay?",Hailen stood beside her. "I'm...not sure",she replied. "You and that lady Linna.You seem like you know each other,somehow",Hailen said. "Yes,yes we do",Alicia looked down a bit."we grew up together.The three of us with her big sis Larana.A bunch of bandits came and infiltrated our village and killed everyone including our parents while we were all playing a distance apart.When we got back we saw everyone laying on the ground.They were all dead.Rex Linna and Lara's father managed to survive.He took care of the three of us.It was hard for me to leave my parents laying there.From that day we made a promise to each other to stick by each other's side no matter what and to join one of the strongest empires. So after we turned eighteen.There was an intake tournament to qualify to get into the empires.They needed ten people to enter so we spent ten weeks training and competing because we were so many.Ten weeks ten tournaments.Lara got in the ninth tournament and she made it to the finals and won.Her rage about her mother being killed kept growing.So when she heard about the vice empire and their way of ruthless she didn't hesitate to join and followed her father. I made it to the finals in the tenth tournament but when my opponent was revealed.I had no idea that Linna had also made it to the finals.My opponent was her.So we fought and fought till the end but none of us managed to conquer each other.It was a tie.We then joined the rover empire.But the leaders of the tournaments weren't satisfied by two people obtaining victory. So another following day they summoned the both of us to the main hall.It seemed like they had discussed the issue with the emperor Gerald.They compared both of our fighting skills and they voted for me and Linna was told to leave and join another empire.Linna cried in front of them.She looked at me and she claimed that we should leave together. But I didn't want to leave.The rover empire was my dream,the strongest empire to join.I refused to leave.I broke her heart in front of them then I saw a glimpse of rage for me in her eyes and she left and joined the vice empire where Lara and her father were.We made a promise and I broke it.",Alicia explained as she punched back at the wall behind her with her tears flowing down her cheeks while facing down. "Alicia,you were only teens,you didn't have a choice because as you said,you wanted this,because it was your dream,...so stop regretting about what you did,the choices you make afterwards are the ones that matter",Hailen said. "The only problem is,....I don't regret it,..that's what I feel guilty about",Alicia replied. "Well if I were you I would have made the same choice as you did",Hailen said as Alicia widened her eyes and stopped crying. "We make our own choices because we have our own lives to look out for at first before looking out for the others.We have the right to choose our own paths for ourselves not for the others.No one knows what's next in life.Sometimes the people you have at the start are not the ones that will travel with you in the same path.So don't waste your time feeling guilty,rather spend time merging your own path",Hailen explained as Alicia quickly embraced her with a hug while crying. "Hailen,.....thank you,...I appreciate that",Alicia said while still hugging her. "Its alright Alicia,we are all here for you",Hailen said as they broke the hug.Alicia dried her tears. "I'm gonna go rest....I feel tired of all this",Alicia said. "You sure you're gonna be okay?I can come over if you want to" "No its alright,I'll be fine,I just want to rest" "Okay,..rest well then",Hailen said,Alicia walked back heading to her room. The elite empire was a massive enormous Fortress built with silver and yellow metal.They were the gentlemen.The fancy bulls and on that note they were well equipped in terms of weaponry and rich in explosives,grenades,flashbangs,smoke grenades,C4's,claymores,dynamites. They wore black suits with a black vest on top.Their emperor was a British black haired man.A fancy tuxedo was his outfit.He had his daughter Vikandar.She was a brown haired lady of mid twenties and she was an elite.One of their best special soldiers.A woman walked along the yellow carpet heading to the emperor. The inside was like a fancy Mansion.There were glass shelves filled with champagne,brandy,scotch and whiskey.she was carrying her transparent pad,she was like an advisor.Her name was Stacy Williams.She was a computer nerd genious,her mind was like a super computer itself.Stacy had various connections which no one knew except the emperor knowing it.She wore her transparent glasses,a white shirt,a black skirt and yellow heels. "Emperor",she arrived as she spoke. "Stacy,I already told you,call me Fin",he replied. "Oh,pardon me my emperor,...I mean Fin",she said. "No need,any updates?",Fin asked. "It seems there was a casualty at the rover empire.A newbie apparently",she explained. "Elaborate...",he took a bottle of champagne from one of his shelves. "His name is Steven,an early recruite,he was shot by Lara,Rex's older daughter.I have no knowledge of what's going through Shark Steel's mind but I'm hundred percent accurate that it is going to be a total blood bath",she explained. "Then let it be....we'll just sit back and watch",Fin poured his champagne in his glass. "I hear you my Lor....um Fin,but if I may ask,are we in good terms with the rover empire?",she asked. "Yes...we are,they want us to be allied empires with them meaning also in the Great War.Well that said but I haven't revised their matter into consideration yet.Firstly arrange a meeting with the flute empire.I want to convince them if we could merge with them also in the Great War. You know,if I succeed to convince them then we'll be a total destruction to all of the others.Even the rover or the vice empire because the flute empire is the biggest of us all and a threat even if they co-operate on their own",Fin sat as he took a sip. "Well,sir I don't mean to oppose your judgement but the flute empire maybe the biggest of us all but the rover has much skill and strategy than all of us.Their special soldiers called the rovers are total advanced mercinaries.I do not know how they are trained to acquire such skill but all I know is that Shark Steel is the one who train them. Before the duel both Rex's daughters went to the rover empire to request it then Shark Steel put her two best soldiers in the duel.A rover and the other one who's yet to be promoted and they dominated the vices.So I suppose we merge with the rover empire instead",she explained. "Mmm,if you're so certain then....now that you've mentioned it,I can't argue,okay Stacy halt my meeting for the moment while I take a deep thought about it",he said. "Okay sir",Stacy turned around and she walked away.She stopped,"um sir...Fin,Rex just sent an email",she informed. "What does it say?",he stood up. "He's inviting all empires to the Grand Summit at midnight",she replied. "Bollocks!!,This can't be good,reschedule my time table",he said. "Alright",she walked away. The Grand Summit was a meeting between all the leaders of the empires to discuss terms of more than two alliances,war,peace and truce.Every leader should head in there with three of his/her best soldiers.A huge shrine building used by the flaura long back was upgraded and rebuilt with their special technology structures and it became a large mansion of meetings between the leaders. Gerald was having his moment with his scotch,sitting in the main hall at the front as Kitanna walked in along the black carpet. "My emperor",she spoke. "General,to what do I owe the pleasure?",he asked. "Rex sent an email for us to come through the Grand Summit at midnight",she replied. "What?I bet he's not going to say anything but sinister,okay organize two of your very best",he said,"this is insane",he thought to himself. "Okay my lord",she headed back. The leaders gathered at midnight at the Grand Summit Temple.They all sat at the huge round metal table at their chairs.Rex had his three soldiers standing behind him.His two daughters and Victor.Fin had his own three soldiers behind him,his daughter. Vikandar,his advisor Stacy and one male soldier. The pirate emperor,his name was Julias,he was a man of late thirties with a beared and he always wore his purple pirate hat and his three pirates behind him.Then Gerald,leader of the rover empire,he had Kitanna,Eve and Jessie on his back and lastly the flute empire,the royal elephants. Their leader Shiva,was an attractive,cold,ruthless blonde woman of early thirtiees.She wore a light blue silk tight which had an opening on her stomach and halving her breasts along to her shoulders and a blue cap flowing from her shoulders.She had her daughter Zoe and her son Vince at her corner with another male soldier.Rex stood up slowly about to speak. "I've made an effort for us to gather here due to some certain important....sensitive matter in some cases.Though Its quite rare for all of us to huddle like this",he sat "Its not an effort,its a mild annoyance disturbance,you peasant!",Shiva spoke. "Oouu,please lady Shiva go easy on me",Rex glanced at his nails with a smirk on his face. "I assure you I don't go easy on any situation,even in battle easy is not a word I trade in with",Shiva replied. "Even in sex I assume?You're quite fortunate,I do prefer dominant women in bed also",he laughed a bit. "Uhh",she scoffed,"in terms of bed I do not contemplate with such revolting nuisance",she said with her chin up. "Okay cut the bullshit Rex,we all know you're going to spit something irregular,so why don't you get on with it",Fin spoke. "Cut to the chase I see,that's what I admire about you Fin,you're...straight forward.Alright.We all know our truces,boundaries,lines and all that right,and um my two beautiful daughters here were feeling a bit cocky in their systems so they went at the rover empire to request a duel with one of the most feared human soldier in all the empires. Shark Steel,but she declined their offer,instead she picked two of her best rover soldiers and still my daughters were overpowered.So,now directly to the point,I must say I was disappointed...also humiliated.Two of the most unwanted emotions to collide in a human soul",he explained. "Your daughters were beat to a pulp with two rovers,so what?Is that our problem?",Gerald spoke. "Of course not,but if you were in my shoes,how would you react Gerald?",Rex asked. "I would assume it was a good fight even though I lost,I would drop it and move on",Gerald replied. "Well,that's....reasonable but,that's not me,haha,this is how I'm going to react,I'm declaring the first ever civil war",Rex stood up as he said. "What?!That's absurd!!",Gerald stood up. "You can't!!Not at times like this!!",Fin yelled. "Declaring a civil war just because your daughters are not as good as you assumed and also that they are a total repulsing disgrace is nothing more but a pathetic vindictive act from a sad high ego filthy sensitive man",Shiva said. "Well this sad high ego man is declaring the civil war no matter what,even if you overwhelm me with your pointless unessential accusations.I'm going red and lit up like a god damn firecraker baby!!",Rex grinned as he said. "Well what about you Julias?Aren't you going to say something?Oh yeah,it's because you're in this together are you?Even from the start,you've been sniffing Rex's ass like a homeless filthy b***ch dog.You're nothing but a parasite to him.Just because your empire is weak that's the reason you're allied with him?Be a man for once and strengthen it like a real man does!!",Gerald stood up acting frustrated while Shiva was the only one left sitting and still serene as the ocean. "Well there is something you all call team and collaboration,bond and understanding.Yes my empire is weak that is why I'm doing everything I can to make it stiff and you Gerald.Talking about what a real man is supposed to act on.What about you?Its been ages since you stepped outside your own empire instead Shark Steel is the one who has been acting like a leader of your empire wiping your leftover shit while you hide in there like a little b***ch",Julias mocked. "Watch your mouth",Kitanna withdrew her USP pistol and pointed it to Julias. The three pirates pointed back their weapons to Kitanna then Eve and Jessie pointed back.both Lara and Linna pointed theirs to Kitanna also followed suit by Fin's daughter,his advisor Stacy and their other soldier pointing theirs to Rex's daughters. Shiva's son,daughter and her other soldier pointed theirs to Rex's daughters and Julias's pirates. "Are you all done wasting my precious time?I'd rather have a stone massage than this senseless bullshit,acting like warthogs fighting over scraps appealing to be nothing more that sloven men.Regardless,I'm ready to go to war anytime anywhere.So if you want a civil war Rex then you've got it and note that I won't be coming for two of those blonde disgrace repulsing prostitutes of yours.I'll be coming for your head",Shiva said with a mighty act still on her sit. "Well,then its official the first ever civil war starts tomorrow at dawn,make sure to find any help you can get because when I'm hungry,I feed",Rex grinned. "I get it now Shiva,the reason why you're acting like this is because your empire is big?",Fin questioned. "Its because I'm better than all of you,my empire really is big and I worked my ass off to make it look how it looks,so spare me the lecture",Shiva replied. "Gerald,I wanted to arrange a meeting to discuss about our alliance,I would like to collude with you",Fin said. "What?Just like that?",Gerald asked. "Well,it really doesn't look like we have any time left to make arrangements",Fin replied "Then we're officially allied",Gerald agreed. :"Aww,cats and dogs teaming up together,real cute",Julias mocked. "Then there you have it!!The first ever civil war!!",Rex declared. They all left the mansion.Shiva,her daughter,son and her soldier got onto their horses covered with a blue cloth. "Gerald,I do not have any grudge with you whatsoever.If you don't massacre my soldiers then I won't massacre yours,we are not allied,let's just consider our neutral agreement intact",Shiva said as she left with their horses. "Well I'll be",Gerald said to himself. "The flute empire clarifying a neutral truce with us?Finally a glimpse of good news for the day",Kitanna spoke beside Gerald. "That woman is something else,I don't mind marrying her,hehe",Gerald laughed a bit as he got into his black armored Jeep at the back with Eve and Jessie. "Careful there my emperor.You might find yourself bleeding on your bed in the next morning after your honey moon with her haha",Kitanna yelled getting on to her black Nakamura bike,Gerald laughed and they took off . "Don't tell me you also have a flying ship heading your way for you to depart",Rex said getting onto his chariot. "Cheeky,....but what's with the chariots?They aren't your style",Julias said. "I just wanted to be a little more dramatic for the occasion.Come on girls,you wouldn't want to miss a ride on this baby wouldn't you?",Rex offered. "No thanks father we'll head on with our bikes",Lara replied,they got on their bikes "Yeah,chariots?Seriously?Be real father",Linna yelled while departing. "What?They're real can't you see?Ugh you two are just like your mother",Rex yelled heading on behind them. "Enjoy every last second Rex,soon your empire will be mine,hehe",Julias said to himself.
