It was a cool and damp morning up in the mountains in the Kingdom of Thullo. The recent battles had left most of the newer Xunok soldiers more experienced and better trained. Though they couldn't hold a candle to Section 6's Trooper's equipment and more vigorous training. The location was in Yetisburg, at their military base. This is the location where the Thullo Sky Tanks are stationed.

As the sun rose through the valley and over Yetisburg. the Xunok defectors that joined up with Uso and Kryo, currently under Kyro's command. Began their day, taking showers, eating, and getting dressed in their uniforms. Now with a black star painted over the back to signify that they are with Kyro and Uso.

Kyro had just recently exited the main HQ building in the center of the base and headed over to the gate and watched the sun rise in his uniform. Armed again with his IBR sling over his back, his Fatboy on his left hip, and his modifi broad sword on his right hip. With his comms headset hanging around his neck. He took a deep breath to taste the fresh cool mountainous air. Still keeping his iconic blank strict expression on his face, planing his next move.

"So how many more surprises have you found in this place?" Uso asked rather loudly as she approached. It was clear she wasn't treating this as casually as before. No longer did she appear by herself, chosing to have a group of Ragnarok PMC soldiers nearby, their U7 shuttle hanging overhead along with a trio of the mini-tanks from before. They wouldn't be letting anyone close to the cat except Kyro for the time being.

Even Uso herself was now wearing armor, the homegrown S6 Revenant power armor covering everything below her neck.

Kyro slowly turned his head to face Uso then cracked a smirk. "You would be surprised on what I have found what secrets these people hold." He turns completely around, looking down at her armor and her escorts. "I see you have acquired yourself better equipment and men. I don't blame you. Though, my role here requires me to not wear armor. I would prefer to be attacked then attack. Hence why we have made it this far with little resistance." He seemed to have a slight change in mood, seeming a bit happier from his general cold and blunt speech.

He gazed upon the all of the soldiers and Troopers in the base from what he could see and then looked back to Uso.

Uso waved her hand dismissively, "You're angling for a large-scale fight to bring an end to the bickering groups on this planet... not to mention you've already shown that at least one side has some tricks up its sleeve. This ain't a low tech cakewalk anymore. There is no reason not to wear actual armor.... there's barely a reason to get involved AT ALL... you know, except for these guys to get some real experiance under their belts... and well, you know, can't let the robot overlord do all the work."

Uso didn't seem interested in looking at the troopers either,

"So why'd you ask me to come down here?"

Kyro took a step forward and looked down to her, his expression remained the same. He opened his mouth to say something then stopped, taking a moment to think. Then finally said, “I can make this take over end quicker than planed, as well as gain another ally and supplier. I’m sure you know how much of a pain it is to fight Ichiko... with their tanks outpacing our own.” He told her.

”I’ve gained access to their lead diplomat who may, be able to change the mine of the emperor. If all goes according to plan.“ He rested his hand on her shoulder, “Then I do believe there will be a location capable of being nuked... If this goes according to plan.”

He removed his hand and took took a step back. He had lost his joyous emotion and went back to his iconic self, ”Now, on the secrets I’ve found. They have a neuclear fusion Generator inside of that mountain.” He pointed behind Uso. “That’s how they keep their power armor in power. Though, I also have gained intelligence of the URR artillery being devastating. I would state caution when spotted by it. It will destroy any mechs or Tanks we deploy.” He smirked, “Now, we should be heading over to the capital of Ichiko soon. My informant is waiting for us.”

"We've got a military... well... I've got a military capable of dealing with that... I'm also rollin' deep if we're going anywhere. This guy going to mind that I'm bringing my guys with me?" Uso asked, "I think we already missed the stealthy figure-shit-out part of this whole thing."

”I’m sure there will not be any issues. Therefore, bringing a couple won’t do much harm. Just bare in mind that this is the Royal palace we will be entering.” Kyro informed Uso of.

"You can't just bring this guy here?" Uso asked.

Kyro shook his head, “That’s the issue with the informant. She’s the Princess of Ichiko. She cannot leave the palace at all unless it’s Diplomatic with other nations. We are seen as an infection. So we must go to them. However, even with the rhetoric, most of the populous in TIE is silently supporting us. If we win her support, it’s winner takes all.”

"This sounds so boooring...." Uso added, pointing to her escort with her thumb, "Can't you just take these guys with you and call it a day?"

Kyro Looked at her men then back at her, “I’d rather go alone then, however, I did have one thing that needed to be completed.“ He gave it a second, “The Emperor must die in the end. I feel as if you wanted some action. So I planned on you doing whatever you wanted to him and his army that stayed loyal.”

"Is he raising arms against me or something? I can't just go around killing world-leaders. It's bad form. Once these people get it in their heads that I'm just going to kill them once I get what I want from them then I'm going to have an undercurrent of rebelion that can't be easily stomped out. Gotta have these guys in the tent and pissing out of it you know?" Uso asked.

“You killed my king to secure power. I see no difference here, the Princess will be taking command after him. If I made any misunderstanding.” Kyro states to Uso.

"One of my doods killed your king. Totally out of my control. That little shit tried to kill me to you know? The guy who tried to kill your king... with a fucking genetic scanner grenade that HE asked me to get for him. The balls on that guy...

...You know I gave him the whole 'I know what you're doing' speech and he still tried it?!

Maybe I'm too subtle for my own good..."

Uso paused for a moment to consider,

"Uggghhh... how bout we just nab him for now?"

”If you think is the best course of action. Then do so. However, His Royal Guard that stay loyal must perish. They have devices that will make them die and spread a chemical gas that will kill all organic tissue if they turn. Though, if they die in comba, the Device will not activate.“ Kyro took a second to think, “She told me that she had secured the loyal ones to her, and removed the devices. So any of them not with her must die.”

Kyro turned over to a large group of Xunok soldiers which were gathering over at the eastern wall looking out at a plane flying through the mountains with a Nojah Flag on it. Kyro walked over to them telling Uso, “Listen, come and get me when you’re ready to head out. I must investigate this.”

As he approached the group, they were all mumbling to eachother about the length of the war, and what will happen next.

"SEEMS LIKE A LAME WAY TO PROTECT SOMEONE!" Uso shouted as Kyro walked off, crossing her arms as she waited for him to finish up there.

”What seems to be the issue over here?” Kyro asked the group.

One of the men opened his mouth but was cut off by another, “There’s nothing wrong Sir. We’re just nervous.”

Kyro pointed back at Uso, “If there’s anything to be scared of it’s her and myself. Don’t let fear overcome you. Trust me, when this is over. You won’t juat Know fear. You’ll bring that bitch with you everywhere you go.” As he walked back to Uso he was cut off by a Sky Tank, “Sir! Urgent news from His highness!” Kyro nodded as the Sky Tank continues, “Recent reports of your operation is a success. Shall we continue?” Kyro waved his hand to dismiss him, “No, Rest. Continue tomorrow.” Kyro then arrives back at Uso, ”What will it take to make you feel joy. I don’t wish for you to be bored here.”

"There is a chain, and I would like this to be off that chain." Uso frowned, "BUT I SUPPOSE ITS BEST TO BE GATHERING ALLIES...." Her voice had all the reluctance of someone who had just been told to eat their vegtables who also would get health benifits from that. Uso of course, being an NH-7, could eat raw metals and not skip a beat. Labored metaphor aside, she was totally ready to go deal with king, "What's that king's name again?"

"The emperor's name is William Foreman. He has a large group of personal guard around him with plate armor that is light but effective in close quarters combat. However, it is not a match against our weapondry. Though they will be a neusance." Kyro told her.

He tlifted his righ hand and started to stroke his beard, "I can understand the frustration that you may have. I understand leaders such as yourself. Myself having to follow orders from some in the Osman militray. However, gaining early support and public opinion will make reconstruction and innovation much quicker. It will also add more motivation so there will be more efficient." He moved his hand behind him again. "As painful as it is, and the amount of time it will take. It will make the final push easier. Although, I would still like to know if there's anything I can do to subdue this bordome you suffer from."

"Nah, I'll just run the ol' hot stuff play and drag Forearm into a cell somewhere." Uso said dismissively.

Kyro ahook his head but accepted her word. “I don‘t wish to leave a sour taste in your mouth as you eave here my queen. However, Is there anything else you had questions upon before my departure.”

"We good."
