Tenshi could only think of what would become of the kingdom and her child as she was being brought, watching many of her kingdom's soldiers either quickly die, wounded, or just being forced to let the enemy through to save the princesses life. Would her people become victims to this treachery? And how will their kingdoms continue if she was killed along with the child. Crying silently against the gag, she spotted her husband and another man, who she recognized as the prince of Hokkyoku, Prince Salmo. He was a member of one of the royal families who were fighting for Tenshi's hand in marriage, but ultimately failed. "HMM! NHH!" She attempted to call out to her husband, still pulling at the men, but stopped as the blade was brought to her stomach once again, a threat they continued to use against anything. The blood from the gash on her head dripped onto her shoulder as the wound from her arm also bled, staining the white dress she had on and her eyes were almost as red, from terror and crying. She gasped against the binds when the man holding her was kicked, and she was caught by her husband. She shook the fear slowly leaving her, and being replaced with fury. Being free enough, she was able to move her fingers at the least, slowly undoing her binds with her powers. "You MONSTER!" She called to Salmo, standing. In her state, she seemed very unintimidating, but she did her best. "You have destroyed homes, ravaged our city, and ended countless innocent lives! You are a disgrace to your kingdom and all of Tayona!" Finally, her hands were freed and she quickly pulled the attacked soldier's blade towards her, grasping it and getting into a fighting stance. She was back in the mode she was while fighting Hirame. "I will kill you all if it means protecting this child! And NO ONE WILL HURT THEM!" Tenshi just stood with her husband, showing a side she never did before.
Tabby arrived back at the castle. Something inside him told him that Tenshi needed help. His fears were confirmed as parts of it were destroyed. Flying through, he spotted Takifugu just taking down the soldier. He landed near him, hand on his hip. "Well, needle boy, you took care of this pitiful creature, now where is Tenshi?!" He said, before hearing more men in the halls, yelling. "KILL THEM ALL! FIND THE KING AND QUEEN!" Echoed around them. Tabby just began charging his cannon arm. "I suggest you get those booster shots out and start killing." He said, getting into a fighting stance as the enemy soldiers turned the corner, spotting the two. "DON'T JUST STAND THERE! ANNIHILATE THEM!" One screamed, sending the others to charge.

“Tenshi’s gone, they took her…I don’t know what’s become of her.” Takifugu observed the assailants closing in on them. “But whatever the case, we need to take out these scums first. My arm is broken. Think you’ll be able to pick up my slack?” He asked, readying his good arm with needles.

Tabotto felt his heart (or whatever he had inside) sink at hearing that Tenshi was taken. All he could hope was that the princling at least found her. When Takifugu asked him to help, Tabby smirked, pointing his cannons towards the attackers. "No problem, pin cushion. This is what I was built to do." Immediately, he shot the cannon towards the charging men, taking out a good number of them. His heel rockets turned on, letting the pink flames shoot him in the air, dodging the blades of some of the men. "Don't take this as a vacation, boy. We need to kill these pathetic, and might I add fashion blind brutes." He turned, shooting smaller laser cannonballs at some individual attackers, each being thrown down. It was a mess of rainbow lasers as he attacked, a smug smirk on his face the entire time.

The royal retainer barely had to do anything. He simply watched in awe as the robotic guard mow down enemy after enemy. “Well, I guess he really is a top of the line android.” He said, while firing a needle at a stray enemy. It wasn’t too long before every one of the attackers was filled with holes or needles. Finding a live soldier, Takifugu picked him up by the collar for interrogation. “So then, was this JUST an assassination attempt? If so, it seems like you brought along way too many men to make it discreet.” The soldier hacked up blood in Takifugu’s face. “Not just a single killing. Had to look bad. Had to be bloody. Had to…” The man breathed his last, and was released, falling to the floor. “We need to get to prince Tourit, he’ll need help.”

Tabby just dusted himself off, looking more annoyed at the blood on him than anything. "If only these men died without making such a mess, I just got cleaned." He listened to the man, glaring at him. Before he got to ask where Tenshi was, he perished. "I agree corkboard. The princeling will at least bring us closer to the girly. We need to get her to safety as soon as we can. Come," Tabotto charged his jet heels. "And don't fall behind." With another smug look, he flew, turning on the tracker to locate Tourit and, hopefully, Tenshi.

“Tenshi…” Tourit was surprised at his wife’s sudden ferocity. He had never seen her like this. He understood, as it made sense that she wanted to protect her child, but it shocked him nonetheless. Regardless, he pushed his surprise to the side as he readied his blade to face Salmo once again. “Tenshi, I understand you want to fight, but please, leave this to me. I can’t risk you getting hurt, not like this.” He said, concern in his voice.

Tenshi listened to her husband, not leaving her stance. Her mind was made up. "I'm sorry, Tourit. I can't let you face this monster alone. I already had to take down one man to protect myself and our baby... and now we have to fight to defend both of our kingdoms." Tenshi stared at Salmo, landing on the ground near him. She looked up at her husband. "I will not be that sheltered princess, letting others take care of her problems. Even if I die, I'll make sure this child is taken from my body and will live on! Besides, two against one will end this much faster."

Tourit landed on the ground next to his wife, getting in his stance. “While I would much rather you protect yourself, I can see that I can’t convince you to leave. Alright, let’s do this. Salmo grinned. “Well, this is working out better than I expected. Instead of having to rely on a sneak attack, I get you right here to butcher however I please.” He charged at Tenshi, blade drawn. Tourit retaliated by picking up the blade of a fallen soldier, and catching that of his opponents. He broke out of the locking of the blades, and attempted to drive the blade into Salmo’s chest. The antagonistic prince dodged it, but left himself open for a blast from Tourit’s free hand. It sent him sailing, but he quickly caught himself and retaliated with a volley of energy blasts. Tourit got into a defensive stance, ready to shield himself. “Tenshi! Get on guard!”

Tenshi held the blade, ready to dodge Salmo's attack, though Tourit blocked the attacks. Tenshi flew, moving out of the way of the energy blasts. She spotted another soldier's blade, pulling it towards her. Now, double wielded, some of the remaining soldiers charged. Tenshi smirked as she attacked, swinging and cutting down some of the men. Though her training was limited, she did show quite a bit of potential, and this showed it. Three men dropped at her feet fast, leaving her to smirk at the others. "Well, what are you waiting for?" They just looked at each other almost nervous, letting Tenshi quickly cut them down during their moment of distraction.

While shocked at his wife’s ferocity in battle, he had to continue concentrating on his opponent. Looking around, he realized he had lost him while blocking the blasts. Salmo quickly made himself known by dashing at Tourit. He kept in his defensive stance, ready for an attack, but Salmo passed right through Tourit. He realized that Salmo had used an afterimage, and knew exactly who his true target was. Turning around, he saw him going for Tenshi. He had gotten careless. “Look out!” Was all he managed to yell out.

Tenshi turned, shocked as Salmo charged to her. She tried to dodge, but was sliced across her shoulder, down her arm. Her dress was torn, but covered her still. She went to her knees, holding the wound. However, she couldn't focus on it. She lifted the blades with her power, bringing them to her hands again. "You think... a little blood will stop me, you cretin!" She crossed the blades. "Why don't you actually fight me instead of being a coward and trying to sneak up on me?" She smirked, staring at him.

“What the hell happened to you, you used to be just a fragile little girl! How much did you change?” Salmo asked scornfully. He was frustrated that his attack didn’t faze her more. Tourit took advantage of his confusion to slam him in the back, sending him tumbling across the ground. Salmo didn’t stay down too long, and leapt back up with vigor. “Dammit…” Just then, Takifugu, along with a couple squads of soldiers arrived on the scene. The troops drew their blades, and created a circle around the three royal combatants. One of the captains pointed his sword directly at Salmo. “Prince Salmo of the Hokkyoku kingdom, this act is considered as a declaration of total war. Unless you order your entire kingdom to stand down, we will be forced to mobilize our forces and take action.” Tourit relaxed a bit, with so many troops around him. “Salmo, I know we don’t know each other well, but please, just take my advice and back down. There is no way Hokkyoku can handle an all-out war, especially not with the state your kingdom is in.” “The state we’re in?” Salmo spat out. “The state we’re in?! We are in such pitiful conditions because of you vermin! Our ancestor, the original child of Tayona had designated the holy land that you rats live in to the children of Hokkyoku! But you bastards decided that just the land you were in wasn’t enough, so you drove us out of our land and took it for yourself!” Salmo’s eyes were red as he screamed. “That land of plenty was ours, and you stole it from us! How dare you comment on my people’s horrible state when you’re responsible for it!” One of the soldiers stepped forward from the line. “Enough of your lies! Hokkyoku nobles made up all that years ago to inspire commoners to take up arms and blindly fight for them!” Salmo responded by firing a blast at the soldier’s chest. Tourit warped in front and intercepted the shot. “Fine then, you’ve made your choice.” Tourit said, motioning for his soldiers to move in. Salmo grimaced, knowing he couldn’t take on such a force alone. He fired a small ki blast at the ground, causing smoke to rise. When it cleared, he was nowhere to be seen. Tourit, along with the other soldiers, relieved their tense poses. Tourit ran straight over to his wife and hugged her tight. “Are you ok? He didn’t hurt the child, did he?” He asked, tears starting to well up in his eyes.

"That little girl is gone, Salmo. My powers have been shown, as you can see," She smirked, lifting up a few rocks with her powers, just showing a fraction of what she could do now. "And I found someone better than you to spend my life with. I am happy and free at last, and I have more honor than you will EVER HAVE!" She said, standing in an attack position, ready to attack. However, her kingdom's soldiers arrived, which included Tabby, who was relieved she was safe. Tenshi listened in depth to the story of Hokkyoku, knowing it was false. Once Salmo vanished, she dropped the blades and embraced her love, the tears coming back to her eyes. "He didn't, my love. In fact," She smiled, taking his hand and placing it on her stomach, so he could feel the baby move. "They are here and happy." She saw the tears welling in his eyes. Tabby cleared his throat, stepping to them. "I hate to end this moment, but we have to get you and the porcupine here to the infirmary. You should get those injuries cleaned out." He said, the soldiers coming to them. "We will bring you to your parents. Both kings and queens are safe." One soldier said, as Tenshi stayed standing with her husband.

“I’m so glad you’re not hurt…” Tourit breathed out. While relieved that the battle was over, he still couldn’t get over how ferocious his wife was in battle. “I’ll carry you to the infirmary, you shouldn’t push yourself.” Tourit said as he picked Tenshi up in his arms. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Takifugu motioning for some men to help escort him. While carrying her, the young prince snuck in a quick kiss. “My love, I’ve been thinking about the child. What will we name him?” He asked shyly. “Uh, or her?” He quickly corrected himself. While Tourit personally hoped for a son, he vowed to love his child regardless.

Finally, Tenshi was able to relax. She rested her head against her husband. However, as he flew, she looked down... and saw the people she had killed. She felt her guts twist tighter than ever... she had made a promise that she would not kill... it was what she believed in... But then she remembered what she did it for. It was all for the little child growing inside her. Tenshi snapped back to reality when her husband kissed her and asked about names. She gave a small giggle. "Well, we have time to choose a name for them. Whether it is a little prince or princess, it will be ours, Tourit. Our perfect little child." They quickly landed back at the castle, where guards were surrounding it, until they saw who the arrivers were. "Your highnesses! Someone alert the kings and queens immediately of their status. Bring her to the infirmary, Lord Tourit. They will also make sure you're unharmed. Everyone else, keep guard."
