After spending quite some time abroad on Earth, Tourit, the prince of the Pashifikku kingdom of Tayona, had arrived home with his wife, Tenshi. “Home at long last…Seems like its been forever since we stepped on our own soil, my love.” Tourit said as he slowly stepped back onto his homeworld. Looking around, he felt a rush of gladness enter his body. He had felt homesick during his time on Earth, and seeing his kingdom again was welcoming. “Are, you coming, Tenshi?” He asked softly, reaching his hand out to meet hers.

Tenshi smiled as her husband reached his hand out. She took it, having her other hand on her stomach. It had been a bit since they discovered a new heir was on the way, and a small bump was visible. "Finally. I missed our tranquil home, Tourit." She giggled, remembering the drama that occurred back on Earth. She looked forward, seeing some of the servants walking forward and welcoming them back. Both Tourit's and Tenshi's parents were waiting for their arrival. Some of the workers froze, however, when they witnessed the the bump. "Y... Your highness! You're... Pregnant?!" One asked, making Tenshi give a calm smile. "Yes, but don't spread it beyond here. The king and queen of both kingdoms are still unaware and this is a big announcement." She looked over to her love, smiling still. Though she was nervous when they first found out, Tenshi had embraced that she was carrying the heir of both kingdoms. Taking a deep breath, she looked at the ground. "Are you ready for this, Tourit?" She asked, awaiting the reactions her parents would have.

Tourit blushed deeply, and took a deep breath. “I am if you are.” Tourit held Tenshi’s hand as he walked to his parents. His father ruffled his hair as his mother hugged him tightly. “I assume your honeymoon went well, my son.” King Shark said with a smile on his face. “Yes. More than well as a matter of fact…I believe my beloved and I, have, well…” The hulking king noticed the bulge on Tenshi’s belly. Say no more, son.” He said, patting the prince’s back heartily. “I am proud that you and your wife will conceive the heir to two kingdoms.” He stroked his short, grey beard sagely. “Though this child will carry a large burden. Being a successful heir to a kingdom is no easy feat, let alone being the heir to two. Regardless, they will have a strong father, and a devoted mother.” Tourit let a grin show after his father’s speech. “Thank you. I’m pleased that you have faith in me.”

When the two made it to the kings and queens, Tourit was separated for a moment. This gave Tenshi time to say hello to her family. Her mother and father hugged her, before stepping back. "My dear it's so good to have you back home!" Her mother said before looking down. They took notice of Tenshi's belly. Hanma was a bit taken aback, but it was just the nature of him being her father. They were quiet for a moment before Tenshi smiled. "Yes... We are pregnant with our kingdoms heir." She said. Suddenly from behind, an all too familiar robot came out. "Well, well, well. Look who has the baby bump!" Tabby walked to her, Hanma being clearly upset. "I told you that you were meant to wait inside. This is just for us." He scowled at him, only receiving an eye roll from Tabby. "Well, I couldn't stop myself after I heard the girl I was assigned to watch both became a woman AND is holding the prince's child." "It is his right to know, as well, father. He is the guard YOU ordered for me, isn't he?" She still loved teasing him about how the robotic guard he requested to watch her was so flamboyant. She smirked as she took Tourit's hand, looking at her father. Hanma scowled, but focused on what was important; his daughter now was carrying the heir of both kingdoms. "If everyone agrees, I suggest that we set up a large announcement for the kingdom and around Tayona right away. We must let it be known that an heir is on the way!" He said, patting Tourit's shoulder before walking to Tsuri. This was a major announcement and must be told to their subjects.

Tourit had almost forgotten about Tabotto. He always felt a little indifferent around the robotic guard, but if he did a good job at guarding Tenshi, he was ok in Tourit’s book. The prince was glad to hear the approval of his wife’s parents. “An announcement sounds amazing, Hanma.” King Shark boasted. “It’ll unify our people even closer than they already are, and seal our two kingdoms together. I say we give the good news tonight!” He then gave himself some distance from the group, and pulled one of his captains over. “Manta, I need you to put double the usual patrol on the northern border. I know Hokkyoku will plan on making a move as soon as they hear of this.” The soldier nodded firmly, and flew off to fulfill his duty. “I guess we should start preparations then!” Tourit said excitedly. He pulled his wife close to him, hugging her gently.

Tenshi smiled bright about giving the announcement. This child would receive so much love even before they came into the world. "Yes. We need to make sure we are prepared. This isn't just for the kingdoms, it's an announcement for us!" All of this excited her so much. She kissed Tourit's cheek. "I'm going to rest for a little bit. I'm tired from the trip and," She looked down, rubbing her stomach. "This little one drains me quite fast." She said before walking into the castle, giving Tourit another smile. Tabby just stared at the prince. "You're lucky that this is such a big event. I still don't like her having to sleep with you, kid." He said smugly.
A few hours had passed, and Tenshi was preparing for the announcement. Wearing one of her fancier dresses, the princess cringed at how tight the dress was on her stomach. The second you look at her, it would be easy to guess she was pregnant. But this was far in her mind. Right now, she only thought of their baby. This was bigger than any event that had taken place in her life. This child would be the ruler of these kingdoms. She was lost in these thoughts when there was a knock at the door. "Your Highness, It's almost time. You should meet with Prince Tourit before it begins." The servant said before stepping out again. Tenshi looked at her stomach. "Well, my little one, it's showtime." She grabbed the royal jewels, (internally cringing at the events that happened back on Earth with them, placing them on and walked out, trying to meet up with Tourit.

“You’re not going to get away with this…You Hokkyoku demons will be stopped…” A small regiment of troops marched past a patrol of Pashifikku soldiers, all lying on the ground, dead or injured. “We’re not letting that child get born.” “Are you truly going through with this? Even if you fail, the fighting will become more violent than ever...” “And I, prince Salmo of Hokkyoku will be the one to emerge on top.”
“I hope I look good. Tenshi always looks stunning in anything, I don’t want to look dull in comparison…” The prince of Pashifikku had donned his ceremonial armor, and the crown that had been specially crafted for him. It was small, and only covered his forehead. It was a magnificent shade of silver, with red diamonds covering it. Tourit wore it with pride, as this would decorate his head for many years to come. Walking out, he was amazed at how beautiful Tenshi managed to look, even while bearing a child. “Are you ready, my love?” The grand announcement would have them positioned at a balcony, with two magnificent grey staircases leading downwards. The crowd was not too terribly large for such an announcement. Granted, the plaza was still full shoulder to shoulder, but mostly with higher class citizens, and soldiers. Tourit nervously gripped his wife’s hand as he prepared to step out into view with her.

Tenshi's cheeks reddened, always feeling special in Tourit's eyes. Even with child, she saw it in his eyes. "I think the three of us are ready." She said, one hand on her stomach, and holding Tourit's hand with the other. They walked down the steps, and waited. King Hanma stepped out standing next to Queen Tsuri. Near them, King Shark stood with his wife as well. He stood, raising his hands to address the people. "My dearest citizens of all of Tayona. Today is a very joyous day! With the return of Prince Tourit and Princess Tenshira from the planet Earth, We have received some glourious news!" Hanma motioned the two to step out. She took a deep breath and walked out. As she stood at the edge, it was noticed by many citizens, and a mixture of shock and excitement spread. Tenshi smiled, rubbing her stomach, as if comforting the baby already. "Yes! the prince and princess have conceived the heir of these kingdoms, bringing a new generation to our beloved world!" Hanma nodded to Shark, inviting him to speak.

Tourit stepped out with his wife, still clutching her hand. As a sign of respect, he allowed Tenshi’s father and his own father to speak before they did. “Today is indeed glorious. Our children have conceived one of the most important people in Tayonan history. Even before being birthed, their name will be remembered forever. This child is the pact that will forever bind our two kingdoms together in harmony. To be the ruler of a kingdom is a heavy weight to bear, I know that firsthand. Hopefully, this child’s rule will be just and benevolent.” Shark motioned for his son to speak. Stepping forward nervously, Tourit did his best to recite what he had written. “I thank all of you for coming here. It means so much that my subjects, as well as the subjects of the Atorantikku kingdom, have come to celebrate this momentous occasion. I wo-“ He was cut short as a blast shot out from the audience, aimed directly at his wife’s chest. Not having the time to deflect or block it properly, he simply used his body as a shield, diving in the way and letting his back take the blow. Tourit writhed in pain. An attack of that power wouldn’t kill or even cripple him, but it still hurt like hell. The crowd started to panic, with soldiers looking for the assailant as everyone else panicked and attempted to get out of the area. Soldiers jumped in front of Tenshi, as well as the two kings. Takifugu, one of Tourit’s retainers, helped him to his feet. “Sire, did you see who fired the blast?” Tourit had barely caught a glimpse of where the blast came from, but while getting up spotted a man wearing a black hood and robe running opposite of where the shot came from. “I do now. Takifugu, stay here and guard her, I’m going after this scum!” In one motion, Tourit lifted himself up and propelled himself to the ground floor. Seeing only a piece of black cloth, Tourit rounded a corner only to find a crowd of frightened citizens. “Damn, must be hiding among the people…”

Tenshi smiled brightly as her husband spoke. This was such a beautiful day as she rubbed her stomach. It was interrupted, however, when a blast was fired towards her. She couldn't move fast enough, but watched as Tourit took the brunt of the attack. "TOURIT!" She kneeled to him, panicking as tears began rolling down her cheeks. "Are you alright!" "Tenshi, get inside now!" Hanma called, already sending his queen inside. She didn't want to leave her husband, even as he flew way, trying to locate the person who attempted to... to... "Girly, listen to the king. I'll stay with your 'knight in shining armor'" Tabby quickly unsheathed tracking equipment, following Tourit. Once he made it to him, he smiled smugly. "I can't just let a princeling find that monster by himself, can I?" Tenshi could only stand there, conflicted. She felt something inside her that told her to use her powers and help... but it wasn't just her life she'd be risking. She held her stomach in a way that made it seem like she was shielding it from everything. The king called out. "Do NOT let anyone enter or leave the walls of this city, men! Find this would-be-assassinator! And Tenshi," He placed his hand on her shoulder. "Get inside and do not leave the castle. You!" He pointed to Takifugu. "Until that robot returns, please watch over my daughter." With that, Tenshi ran inside. Why would they want to kill her... was it because of the baby... well, no matter what, if needed, she would protect this child... even if it cost her her life.

Takifugu nodded. “Of course. I will protect her with my very life.” Tourit looked around for anyone suspicious looking. His heart was racing. What if this killer slipped by him and attacked Tenshi again? He couldn’t let that happen no matter what. While frantically looking around, another blast emerged, hitting a civilian standing near Tourit. The crowds panic intensified. Now people were shoving, trying desperately to get out of the line of fire. The young prince’s eyes scanned the area, trying to find where the shot came from. The man who had been hit had a visible burn over his heart. He had clearly been killed on impact. Tourit realized that the blast was not intended to hit him, but rather to attract his attention. He then spotted the hooded assailant, hand still raised from the blast. As soon as he knew he was revealed, the hooded man bolted in the direction opposite of the crowd. Without even thinking, Tourit took flight after him. The killer opted to stay on the ground, firing blasts haphazardly at the prince. He dodged them easily, and most of the blasts found their marks on roof buildings. Finally, the hooded man reached the cities outer walls. Charging up a blast, he used all his energy to blast an opening just a little bigger than himself. He jumped outside, and fired one more blast at Tourit as he went through. The prince deflected the blast, letting it careen into the sky, as he jumped through in pursuit. Upon reaching the other side, Tourit was greeted with about a dozen soldiers, all with Hokkyoku made armor, the hooded assassin among them. “You let yourself get seen, dammit! Now Tourit is here!” Tourit recognized the man barking at his subordinate. “Salmo. You’re behind this.” Not having a blade on him, Tourit readied his stance. “Don’t go through with this. The only thing to be gained from trying to start this kind of war is bloodshed.” “And Hokkyoku’s birthright.” Salmo replied. “My leg has healed up since you broke it, by the way. The plan was to kill your wife, but since you’re here…” Salmo drew his longsword. “I’ll take you out.” “This isn’t going to end well for you.” “I’ll have a better outcome than you.” Charging at Tourit, Salmo swung his sword in a downward slash, which was quickly dodged. Tourit sent a fist flying at his opponent’s chest, which Salmo quickly retaliated to by tossing his now mispositioned sword and catching the attack with both hands. The two royals quickly started exchanging punches, one after another.

Tenshi ran deep into the castle, guards running down the halls and yelling commands. She was terrified of losing her husband. She couldn't survive if he was gone. What would be of their child? She was distracted when she felt the smallest movement. She knew that this stress could do something to the baby. "Sir..." She turned to Takifugu. "Please, go find Tourit! He needs help out there! We can't let him perish from whoever this person is!" She was almost begging when she began to hear loud crashing. "PROTECT THE GATES!" A soldier yelled. It became clear to Tenshi what was happening; they were attacking the castle head-on. "I am sorry. I know you promised to protect me, but I have to make sure they don't hurt my baby! FOLLOW ME!" Her mind went into fight mode as she ran. If they were going to try and hurt her and her baby, she wouldn't go down without a fight. She quickly made it to the royal armory, running inside and to the side, trying to change into some sort of armor. Anything to protect her child. She stood strong, ready to fight if they made it here. Tenshi rose her hands, holding numerous blades with her powers, ready to attack to protect her baby.

“Princess Tenshi, while I understand your concern, I know that my liege can take care of himself. He’s tough. He won’t be felled by scum.” Just then, one of the walls crashed in from the impact of an enormous flail. A tall, burly man, decorated with grey armor and only a strip of hair across his head, and covered head to toe in dirt crept in through the newly formed hole. “Tunneling in unfamiliar territory is the worst.” He quickly noticed the bandage decorated man and the far more valuable princess next to him. “She’s alive and unharmed, I guess Chersal failed.” With little effort, he sent the spiked ball on his flail flying towards Tenshi. Takifugu reacted, catching it with both hands. He grimaced in pain as the spikes dug into his hands. Acting fast, he put his foot down on the chain to prevent it from moving, and readied his arms with his own needles. “Princess! Get out of here! I’ll take this man down!”

Tenshi couldn't help but step back when the large man stepped in. It became more real seeing the assailant in person. However, she stood strong, trying not to show the fear on her face. "Yes, he failed, and now you will fail! None of you brutes will take me down. I will NOT let you harm my child! I will fight to protect it!" Before she knew it, the flail was swung, only to be blocked by Takifugu. She gasped, wanting to see if he was alright. Tenshi knew... she would have to kill this man. After Takifugu plead for her to flee. "I will NOT let anyone from mine or my husband's kingdom suffer!" She stared at the large man, a dark gaze as she rose her arms, making about 10 swords float, blade pointed to the man. "I am not just an ordinary princess. If it means saving the ones I love, and my people, I will kill!" The large man could only laugh at her "courage". "You think you can scare ME with some silly witchcraft?! You are just a pathetic princess, who is carrying the child that will stop my lord from ruling what is rightfully his! Killing you would be a pleasure." With a quick swing, he hit Takifugu, throwing him into the wall unconscious. Now Tenshi was truly alone. The man swung his flail again, almost giving a war cry as he ran to the pregnant princess. Tenshi quickly ducked, just missing the spikes and winding up behind him. She sent one of the blades flying towards the towering man, who effortlessly swung his flail, blocking the blade. Tenshi watched him charge again, moving to the side, but being grazed across her arm by the spikes. She grasped her arm, seeing blood on her hand. She heard him run towards her again, but she spotted one of her father's broadswords, pulling it towards her. Grabbing it, she swung, slicing the man across his chest. He yelled in pain, turning and glaring at her with pure hatred. "YOU LITTLE BRAT! Just for that, I'll make sure your death is slow and painful!" With that, he suddenly tunneled down, leaving Tenshi to guess where he was. She felt vibrations right underneath her, but before she could move, she was thrown on her back, slamming her head and leaving a cut on the back of it. She touched her stomach, lucky she didn't land on it. Before the large man could prepare to charge again, she rose her hand, having 5 blades launch towards the man. He was hit in his upper chest and face. He cried out in agony, going to his knees. Now was her chance. Tenshi grabbed a broken piece of a table and ran to him, screaming in fury as she swung it at his face, digging the blades deep into it. His pained yells stopped, and he fell backwards. Tenshi stared at the man... she just killed... she hated having to do it, but then she felt the movement in her stomach, and knew it had to be done. "You're safe, my child." She said quietly as she rubbed her stomach softly, before noticing Takifugu. She didn't want him to be left out in the open, so she opened the hidden door in this room that lead to the saferoom, dragging him in and setting him against the wall. He would get out when he woke up, though no one could tell where the room was. Now, she had to get to safety. She ran down the hall, seeing destruction. However, she turned a corner into a large group of men, all wearing the same armor. One man stepped forward, an evil grin on his face. "Well! It looks like the prize has come straight to us!" Tenshi went into the fighting stance again, but was caught off guard with a strike to the back of her hear, opening the gash even more. Men behind her grabbed her arms as the one man stood forward, pulling his blade out. "Now, princess, I could kill you now, but maybe you can be worth much more alive. We will bring you to our lord, and he will decide what to do with you." "Over my dead body! I will not give in!" She began struggling, but stopped when the man's blade pointed straight for her unborn baby. "NO! I swear to God if you struggle, I will cut out this child and kill it with you!" She shook hearing this... before giving in. Her armor was removed, leaving the simple white dress she always wore under it on. She felt tears roll down her cheeks as her hands were tied up and she was gagged. Her head was lifted to look at the man. "Perfect. Men, bring her to Prince Salmo. He will decide what to do with this little treasure." With that he walked away, ready to search and ransack the rest of the castle, the men flying with her to their prince, ready to present her to him.

“Ugh…My head…” Takifugu slowly came to, still where Tenshi had left him. His hands still ached and bled from the brute’s attack. “Damn, I need to find the princess….”
“Haha! Yeah! Die you pigs!” The soldier who had led the assault inside the castle had collected a hefty amount of loot, all kept inside of a folded-up curtain. He was swiftly cutting down any soldier who stood between him and valuables with his serrated blade. His loot bag was only getting bigger with all the treasure he was collecting. That is until a needle opening a large hole that let the gold and artifacts spill out like an open wound. “What the hell?” The man didn’t have much time to react as a volley of needles came at him. Dropping the makeshift bag, he dodged all but one of the needles, which lodged itself firmly in the robber’s knee. “That’s not your property to take.” The burglar was surprised to see a heavily injured Takifugu. “Wasn’t your groups mission to assassinate? Did you just decide to take some liberties?” “Damn, you’re one of those royal retainers…But you don’t look so hot. You look like you took quite a beating from Hirame. You look like you’ll be easy to finish off!” He lunged at his new opponent, sword in hand. Takifugu swiftly sidestepped him, and delivered a spike filled leg to the thief’s chest. He dropped his blade in pain, clenching his body in pain. “Really, you got quite overzealous. If you had left with your friends, you would have lived.” The man got up, spitting out blood. “Shut up! You know nothing! I barely have anything to my name back at home! Who could blame me for trying to make a better life for myself!? You wouldn’t understand, you’re a royal dog! You get fed more than well! If you were in my shoes, you would do the same thing.” “I would never even be in a position as dishonorable as the one you’re in.” “Lying bastard!” The man fired a blast from his hand, which seemed to hit Takifugu head on. He started to limp away, but didn’t get far before a spike impaled him straight in the head, and nailed him to the wall. “And I had to work hard to get to where I am now.”
“You’re going to pay, Salmo. Your plot ends here.” “No, it won’t. I sent more assailants into your little castle. Your wife is already dead.” The two princes had been battling fiercely, and both had broken armor and beaten faces.’ “Sire! Prince Salmo, we got the girl! We used her as a hostage and got out of the city! We just got the greatest bargaining chip of all!” A half-dozen soldiers, one carrying Tenshi, entered the scene to see their leader fighting Tourit. Salmo looked up at the soldier who had spoken. However, rather than feeling confident, he was rather pissed. “NO! You morons! Your orders were to kill her as soon as possible!” The soldier looked astonished at this. “What? Sire, forgive me but I’d say we did a damn good job! Kidnapping is an even better result than killing her! Just think, a corpse isn’t a very valuable hostage.” “That wasn’t the goal! Quick, kill her!” “No way! Are you kidding, Salmo? This is a golden opportunity! We can’t just throw it away!” “I swear to- just drive your blade through her, now!” “Please, just think about this! Slow down and consider this opp- “ “Dammit just do it!” Tourit took advantage of the situation. As quickly as he could, he kicked the man holding Tenshi in the face, sending him sailing away with a broken nose and missing teeth. Catching his wife, Tourit quickly positioned himself so that she was safe, and took off her gag. “My love, are you alright? They didn’t hurt you did they?”
