NEGATIVE ZONE: WINTER STORM (with power, everybody is at your mercy)

STORY: Two Years since unifying all of Ezarra, Emmanuel Howards known as Hosin
became the sole ruler of all Ezarra after defeating all the Chao leaders. Immediately
after being enthroned as the Emperor of all Ezarra, Howards stabilized the whole
continent making Ezarra a prosperous and secure super nation unparalleled in all of
its history. Despite being the ruler of a great nation, Howards will face many issues
that will later shape the whole Monterran historical landscape. Eventually Howards
decisions will lead to many changes from his ascension, transition of power to his
eldest son Raphael Howards Ezarra and eventually the rebellion of Rayn Ezarra that
will finally end his near three decade reign.
CHARACTERS:
1. Emmanuel Hosin Howards: Howards successfully unified the whole Ezarran
continent by defeating all Chao leaders. After unifying Ezarra, he crowned
himself as the Emperor of all Ezarra with Harumi Asano as his unofficial
queen. During his reign, Howards made Ezarra and its surrounding nations
into a prosperous and secure society. Undoubtedly, he is the patron of the
immigrants whom he used their skills inspiring them to build a better world
especially working for the best of his empire. Howards is arguably the
greatest leader in Ezarran history but he wont go down in history without
much controversies. These issues will later plague his reign destabilize
Ezarran foundation which will eventually end up into violent transition of
power and a rebellion that will end everything he worked hard for.
2. Aeis Neferea of Amenopolis: The ruler of Civi Island is a subject of Howards
affection and obsession. Neferea then known as Merea arrived in Ezarra along
with Howards when they were idealistic individuals facing uncertain future.
While Howards is busy trying to seek his place on the world, Merea married
Pharaoh Gibbeon Themistocles which drove Howards into depression. After
Howards became the leader of all Ezarra and with Gibbeon dead, Howards
will risk his reputation despite Ezarran objection to make Neferea as his
queen instead of Harumi. This decision will prove costly on Howards reign
later on. Neferea is the adoptive mother of Agotamun and one time Alia
Chang. She is also the mother of Pharaoh Osirekheppre. Neferea is loved and

well known in Ezarra and Amenopolis but her clinging attitude to power and
vanity will have ironic twist later in her reign.
3. Andsuke Toyama: A loyal general of Howards and a veteran of his war for
unification. The Shitenian General is known for his prowess in war and his
shrewd attitude. Andsuke Toyama believed in Howards vision until a simple
disagreement ended up the murder of his father forever strained his
relationship with Howards. Andsuke Toyama will later turn against Howards
but the reluctance and mind games played by his compatriots on him will
later drive him to become a hermit far away from the Ezarran continent. His
later encounter with Rayn Ezarra will only make up his mind to stand for the
right after a long hermitage.
4. Go Soba: One of Howards best friends if not his best friend. Go Soba the
Ezarran minister of technology contributed a lot for Ezarran nation building.
His most notable flaw is his blind devotion to Howards. Soba is clearly a man
who knows right and wrong but his exaggerated loyalty to Howards will
eventually lead to his fall from grace. With temperate loyalty, he could have
avoided disastrous events and lessen the tolls of the Ezarran administration.
5. Melchiezeddek Harrison. General Harrison is among Howards reknowned
generals. He and Howards were already colleagues when they worked
together at Ben Chaos projects so they really knew each other like brothers.
Harrison has a strategical mind which led Howards numerous victories and a
gallant warrior. Not only he is great in battle, he is also an effective
administrator. His nationalistic ideal for Ezarra kept him at odds with
Howards. His objection for accommodating too many immigrants will end up
to his assassination. Before that, he brought his best even besting Howards
on battle with the latter surrendering. Foster father to Rayn Harrison and Alia
Chang and a loving husband to wife Judith. His assassination will forever
change the fortune of his family and more importantly Ezarran history.
6. Harumi Asano: Howards long suffering wife, beloved queen of Ezarra and
beloved mother to Raphael, Agotamun, Francis, Kathe, and Irene Ezarra.
Despite being the queen and Howards wife, Harumi has been always on the
receiving end of the world. Her affection to Howards will be overshadowed by
his infatuation and obsession to Neferea. Shitenian women are born to be
tough but only her love to Howards and their children managed to carry her
through these uncertain times. Few people knew that despite she is unfairly

treated by Howards, her ability to forgive him and hoping she will be loved
back are certain signs why she is a beloved queen of Ezarra.
7. Masakado Toyama: The father of Andsuke Toyama. He is known as the
Fighting Magistrate. Interestingly, he is also known outside of his already
impressive battlefield reputation. He is known for his great sense of justice
delivering swift justice to those who oppressed the weak. His stance on
Ezarran nationalism will have him be in a falling out with the Ezarran
leadership leading to his mysterious death in his hometown.
8. Reynan Chao, Reynold Chao, and Emerson Chao: Three brothers and sons of
Benshazzar Chao who are bent on reviving the lost glory of the Chaos. They
led a rebellion through numerous terroristic activities rocking the stability of
Ezarra. For a short while they managed to destabilize Ezarran security and
economy until being brought to justice by Howards and his ministers.
9. Julian Claudio Chao: The twin of Felicia Dai Chao and eldest brother of the
Chao brothers. In contrast of his brothers who are interested in prosperity and
leadership, young Claudio delved himself into the occult and supernatural to
become more powerful until selling his soul to a demonic being. As a result,
he is dragged into hell and swore revenge to his brothers and anyone who is
against him. Despite perfecting himself resulting to nigh omniscience and
devastating powers, they are not enough to put down Howards in a battle
deep inside a Chao temple hideout. Now, he is changing his tune that he
absorbed his brothers souls and wanted to avenge them. He seems more
than ready to take down Howards and pulverize his soul in his hell.
10.Norberto Cham: Howards met this unassuming scientist during a scientific
expo claiming that he can make Ezarra triply more advanced that it is ever
been. Deep inside this friendly visage, the man has a past to settle with
Howards using the guise as a means to get even. It is certain he will be the
one who will bring the final curtains of the illustrious reign of Emperor
Howards.
11.Alvin Bersamina: An immigrant whom Howards met during his tour of an
immigrant community. Bersamina claimed to be one of Nefereas former
lovers. Howards asked him why he and Neferea didnt end up with each other.
Bersamina replied that Nefereas parents dont allow people of lower class to
marry their daughter. Howards hired Bersamina and under his tutelage, his
fortunes changed becoming one of Howards promising fighters who assisted

him in battles and Nefereas personal bodyguard. Bersamina will soon have a
falling out with Ezarra trying to defend Neferea but will feel the wrath of
Howards but not without a great fight. Bersamina will later have a family and
will play great roles in Amenopolian society in later times.
12.Pericles Ulysses Alexander: He is not to be confused to the late legendary
Ezarran general Pericles Alexander. Pericles Ulysses Alexander is the nephew
of Pericles Hector Alexander, who is the original one. In a very young age
Ulysses was inspired by his uncle through his legendary exploits and wanted
to be like him in the future. After his uncle was killed sacrificing his life for
Ezarra, Ulysses was recruited by the Ezarran military. He was subject to the
most intense of training to realize his untapped potential as a great warrior.
After earning distincitive victories, Menandro Magdalo was so impressed of
his skills and labelled him as the return of Pericles Hector Alexander. Ulysses
took the legacy of his uncle inheriting his possessions and ready to expand
his familys already legendary resume. Throughout the years, there will be
always a warrior from the Alexander lineage who will take the mantle of their
illustrious ancestors namesake to serve Ezarra facing the future. When a
great Alexander warrior serves Ezarra, it is also a symbol of being grateful to
Howards and his nation for giving them a new hope in life.
13.Jennifer Choon: A female Asian immigrant whom Howards encountered with
the same time as he encountered Bersamina. Choon is an expert ninja who
also assisted Howards in numerous battles. She also became one of Harumis
beloved bodyguards. Later she and her husband will later tend to Richard
Chong Ezarra and Alias illegitimate daughter in a new space city. She is later
married to Matthew Randalls.
14.Teklamdawpaya Bodhisattva: His name is translated as Holy King Lam. He
is once known as Shang Ping an ambitious merchant from Atari Island in the
Tiburon Archipelago. During the rampage of Raphael Howards to reach
Civilization Island, the islands of Tiburon are in disarray waging war over
another due to weak central government. Shang Ping felt he and his people
must protect their islands if they wanted to continue living a normal life. He
took the name Teklamdawpaya Bodhisattva in an attempt to unite the
unstable islands to combat Raphael Howards. In his short reign,
Teklamdawpaya managed to hold off the Ezarran forces. Historians can also
claim he managed to best Raphael Howards in terms of strategy. He later

married Queen Neferea. He is the father of Dewi Deanne Kalanya and Shang
Long. The short reign of Teklamdawpaya ended after he mysteriously died in
Amenopolis.
15.Ferdinand Quezon: The leader of Wealthian City and the new immigrants. He
has always supported Emmanuel Howards on his war for unification. His navy
forces are second to none. His navy forces are more than handy in delivering
devastating defeat to the enemies. Despite his power and wealth in the
Tondonian continent, he always seeks the welfare of his constituents. He later
become embarrassed and resigned after he realized he gave all his life just to
support a tyrannical regime. He was succeeded by Dr. Mactal. Despite
inactive and resigned, he is still pivotal giving advices to new leaders.
Ferdinand Quezon will later fight the battle of his life by assisting Rayn Ezarra
via his fabled forces to finally put down the Ezarran regime for good.
16.Rayn Harrison: Harrisons adopted son and future emperor of Ezarra. When he
was a toddler, Rayn Ezarra with his childhood friend Alia have always cheered
for their father in battle. Rayn have always wanted to become a great general
like his father. He and Alia are so close that they spent their happy childhood
sharing each others dream. The death of Harrison is a critical point on both
Rayn and Alia. Meddling with Ezarran and Amenopolian affairs, the lives of
Rayn and Alia reached its breaking point scarring a part of their once happy
lives. With Alia being violated and Rayn losing his eye and dignity, the two
will successfully fight together joining rebellion that will bring an end to the
evil reign of Howards. Rayns concern for Alias safety is telling that many
people concluded they are inseparable!
17.Alia Chang: Rayns foster sister, best friend and love interest. The baby Alia is
first introduced on Ezarran landscape where Harrison and wife Judith
encountered a space cab housing dying bodyguards and a baby girl. They
concluded Alia came from the stars. Childless, the couple took Rayn and Alia
and regarded them as their children. Rayn have noticed that Alia is fond of
staring at the stars. This is the reason she was called the lady from the
stars or simply stargazer. She and Rayn had a great childhood until the
death of Harrison reached the breaking point of their lives. The life of Alia
forever changed when she was violated by Howards. The event changed Alia
for a number of factors. She realized she has no one to rely upon in the world
so she perfected her mind and body defending the weak and helpless and a

champion of all people around her. She joined many rebellions along with
Rayn that will eventually shatter the darkest hours of Howards reign. Alia and
Rayn are always seen together and she can easily feel whether Rayn likes her
on not. Indeed, many will feel safe to conclude they are inseparable!
18.Raphael Howards: Tyrannical, Aggressive, Impulsive, Cruel, and Unforgiving
are the perfect adjectives that describe the new Emperor of all Ezarra. They
are perfect in describing the new Ezarran Emperor but there are more to
these. Raphael Howards Ezarra is born in a battlefield. The eldest son/child of
both Howards and Harumi. Throughout his childhood he had enough of all
lifes tragedies witnessing them through power plays and casualties both
enemy and allies alike. Amidst of these, Raphael fought under the banner of
his father went up the ranks through his cunning and brilliance winning
battles to unify Ezarra. He easily took the mantle of his august father after his
disappearance to assure the people of stability in the most volatile of times.
The overwhelming presence of Howards enemies made Raphael to get the
job done as quickly as effectively as he can. He covered up his fathers
disappearance by acting as him crushing any opposition who dared to
undermine his leadership. Raphael Howards seemingly destroyed all of his
fathers enemies through violent means until running over to Rayn Ezarra.
Unfortunately, Rayn wouldnt have a great time to celebrate his victory. His
obsession for Alia which made him more dangerous and unpredictable gave
Rayn and Alias lives a living hell till his reign is over. He is also known to be
ruthless even to his own relatives. His reign is reputed to be one of the
darkest chapters in Ezarran history.
19.Kathe Howards Ezarra: Howards and Harumis second daughter and the
future queen of Ezarra. She is reputed to be intelligent, witty yet innocent at
the same time. A champion swimmer whom she was in constant rivalry with
her older sister Princess Aurora Howards also known as Princess Agotamun.
After she decisively won over her sister, Agotamun conspired against her
pushed her into a fountain which electrocuted her. Upon lying in an
emergency room, the doctors were surprised her body had a symbiosis with
plasma like energy which made her very hyperactive in her growing years.
Even though she ended up in good hands, to save face and to create a
Howards-Neferean dynasty, Howards sent Agotamun to Neferea to be away

from Kathe and to be taught in good manners. Kathe is known to be

independent and has a great sense of justice. She is known to seek the
welfare of her friends before her own. She later became the girlfriend and
wife of Rayn Ezarra. She also has a friendly rivalry with Alia. Despite of all
these she and Alia are best of friends. Kathe works as a financial assistant
under Benjamin Jackson when Rayn Ezarra and his allies started his quest to
end Raphael Howards reign.
20.Princess Aurora Agotamun Howards: The eldest daughter of Howards and
Harumi. When she is young, Agotamun has a fierce rivalry with her sister
Kathe that led her to live in Amenopolis under the care of Neferea where she
is educated with both Ezarran and Amenopolian fields of knowledge. Despite
being siblings with Raphael Howards, due to her connection with Prince
Kheppre, Agotamun along with other Amenopolian royals are placed under
house arrest until Rayns revolt freed them from Ezarran occupation. She
later made amends with Kathe during the latters coronation in Ezarra.
21.Jack Scizor: He is notably known to be Rayn Ezarras fiercest rival second only
to Howards himself. During the ascension of Raphael Howards, Jack Scizor
lived near Tondonia in peace performing occult rituals intimidating the
residents who wished to make a move against his organization. His disgust
with Howards started when Howards desecrated his sanctuary using it to
torture Rayn and raping Alia blaming him for the event. Since then, Jack
Scizor and his troops constantly wage battles against the Ezarran army. He
has also another set of issues with the Mactalian nun Lily and her partner
Anarchy the Renegade. He is known to be an opportunist with great power
and intelligence only matched by Rayn Ezarras aggressiveness. His uneasy
alliance with Rayn had led them both with numerous battles without a
decisive victor at most a close Rayn Ezarra victory. Jack Scizor never fizzled
out despite Rayn getting his number. He further increased his skills and
expanded his intelligence ready to make the next perfect move that will suit
him and his organization best. In the end he believes he owns his enemies
souls especially the loot of loots, Rayn Ezarras soul!
22.Richard Chong Ezarra: The son of Emmanuel Howards and Neferea. In
contrast of his kinsmen, Richard is not concerned about getting wealth and
power in life. He is more concerned of using resources to make the world a
better place through science and technology. He later managed to build a

space colony beside the Ezarran planet to continue his research providing
refuge for people who wanted to learn the wonders of science and
technology. The space colony is also used in housing weary distant travellers.
23.Ovette Cha-Scizor: The wife of Jack Scizor. She is also one of Rayn Ezarras
allies later on his quests. Ovy started as a chemist in Tondonia. She is shown
to be reserved, calm, cold, and professional in handling her daily affairs.
Although she is allies with Rayn and friends, her true loyalty is only to her
husband. Rayn at one time flirted with her but she is a woman not to mess
with emotionally. This has something to do with her training by her husband
and his organization. Ovy proved to be a formidable ally handling heavy
weapons with ease. Her expertise in chemical weapons made Rayns life
easier trying to get into Howards later on.
24.Duke Baron Comte: Raphael Howards business partner in terms of illegal
businesses and Tondonias most feared gang leader. Duke Baron Comte was
born from a poor family. He desired wealth more than anything else. His
criminal activities landed him in prison many times. A gang lord took him
under his wings. He later betrayed his boss taking everything from him. First,
he made business by being a trader of wine. Not content on riches, he
resorted to the business of illegal drugs partnering with both Tondonian and
Ezarran underworld. He has also tons of infamous reputations ranging from
kidnapping, hired killers, illegal drugs, and supporting corrupt leaders. Baron
collaborated with Howards in kidnapping Rayn Ezarra to lure Alia into bait.
Having the lives of the two ruined and expecting retaliation, Baron Comte will
not think twice to put Rayn and Alia into their place.

LOCATIONS:
1. Ezarra: The great super nation of Ezarra started humbly as fragments of small
divided kingdoms. The Chao brothers conquered these kingdoms established
6 major kingdoms for each of them developing Ezarra into a grand
prosperous society. Trading is valued with goods coming off as far as the
elusive Shitenian nation also across the cosmos. During the unification of
Ezarra in the time of Emmanuel Howards, immigrants flocked into Ezarra to
have a better future. With the help of these people, Ezarra became the

undisputed superpower in the planet never before seen in its history. The
reign of Raphael Howards expanded Ezarra as far as the lowlands of
Tondonia, the Tiburon islands, and Nefereas Civilization Island. The next
leader Rayn Ezarra finally conquered the elusive Shitenian planet nation
through his heroism and diplomacy. Ezarra proudly boasts to house people
from all walks of life, one of the reasons which made it a world reknowned
nation that it is. Ezarra is surrounded by various landscapes and geographic
uniqueness. On North of Ezarra, it is always in a typhoon season but former
leader Ben Chao built umbrella like defenses to harness defense and
electricity. On the center of Ezarra is where the administrative government
offices are situated. On the southern part of Ezarra is where the port and
maritime activities of Ezarra are located. On the extreme Western part of
Ezarra is surrounded by Alp like mountains leading to a once heavy forested
area now became a prosperous town. The town of Alhambra famous for its
heavy wall like defences are located on the Southwest part. It is also known
for being a major economic center and a city of entertainment. The farthest
eastern part of Ezarra is where Ezarras central economic district is located.
The edge of Ezarra is bordered by a huge body of water called the Lake of
Ezarra where the resort town of Pacifica lies upon. Ezarra is covered by
frontier like mountains stretching to a vast desert until ending up in
Protopolis.
2. Protopolis: A huge city of golden domes welcomes travellers after travelling
the vast Ezarran Protopolian desert. Protopolis has a principled government
who will do anything to secure their sovereignty even recruiting terroristic
mercenary activities to get the job done. Their alliance with Shitenia and
some rogue Ezarran generals made them one of the most tenacious fighting
forces ever seen.
3. Tondonia: Before Tondonia became a major thoroughfare in the world,
Tondonia started out as fragmentary immigrant settlements. Unlike its
neighbour Mactal City or Wealthian City, Tondonia never managed to be
better off due to gangs and corrupt leaders dominating its society. It is mostly
known as a no mans land due to gangsters and mercenaries. A place where
gangs are in constant warfare with each other terrorizing the lives of its
citizens. Raphael Howards always went to Tondonia to seek mercenaries and

some shady business partners to do his bidding especially silencing political

opponents. Tondonia will forever be dear to the world because it is where the
heroes like Rayn Ezarra, Alia Chang, Jack Scizor, L. Viper, and etc. began their
quest to change history. Tondonia is later ruled by the Kayngran people who
made Tondonia at one time well off compared to the declining empires.
4. Wealthian City/Mactal City: The richest most influential city of the Tondonian
continent. It is originally a city inhabited by few people. A bonafide first stop
of new immigrants wanting to have a better future. Ferdinand Quezon
became its first notable leader. He named the city after his colleague George
Mactal. Compared to the Tondonians, immigrants in Mactal City are driven to
excellence. The city nation boasts a fabled navy force which led to many
crucial victories in war. Mactal City is surrounded by the Gustavvi Mountain
Ranges. It is enveloped by the Wealthian City thats why building the navy is
such a priority. Even though the city rose in power and wealth, Mactal City
experienced some tragedies, a genocide ordered by Raphael Howards and
also the defiling made by Lily the nun to erect her temple. Later far in the
future, Mactal City which will be renamed Commonwealth City will also
experience high profile deaths of the Leonen political family. Despite all of
these, Wealthian/Mactal City remained in prosperity, solidarity standing the
test of time.
5. Civilization Island: A subcontinent located extreme south of the Tondonian
continent beyond the Tiburon group of islands. Civilization Island is literally an
oasis. It is composed of a desert savannah surrounded by a large body of
water. Golden coated mountains serve as a barrier to the great island.
Civilization Island is where the great prosperous civilization of Amenopolis
stands. On northwest of Amenopolis is Showbiz City where it serves as the
center of media and entertainment of the lower world. Civilization Island
stands as testament of the glory of the Amenopolian civilization. Despite its
tumultuous past, Amenopolian civilization became much stronger standing
the ravages of time. Amenopolian rulers have continued living luxuriously
despite the rise and fall of other more powerful empires.
6. Tiburon Islands: A group of tropical islands greet travellers as they travel
south of the Tondonian continent. Tiburon group of islands is composed of
eight main islands with minor isles. The Tiburon main islands are Sonja, Saga,
Wen, Baku, Atari, Tendoh, Parsis, and the main administrative island of

Tiburon. Tiburon has witnessed the rise of one great leader named
Teklamdawpaya. Teklamdawpaya is once an aspiring prosperous trader
concerned of the ineptness of his own government. Teklamdawpaya took
advantage of his weak government slowly rising up in power. He later forged
an alliance with Neferea holding off the much greater Ezarran forces led by
Howards and his generals. Tiburon Islands later saw the rise and fall of the
minor Boogenian Empire. Throughout its history, Tiburon Islands are
formidable barriers composed of well-equipped military force. Tiburon leaders
are sworn protectors of the kingdom of Amenopolis.
7. The Two Shitenia: There are two version of Shitenia. One is a new Shitenia
ruled by the hermit general, Andsuke Toyama after he got tired of being
played by his superiors ending him in receiving ends. The first Shitenia is in
north of Tondonia. An icy group of islands which are composed of glaciers and
alp like mountain ranges. Mt. Kalitamatu is both the highest mountain and
main highlight of new Shitenia. New Shitenia is where Shitenian migrants live
and settled a village known as Shitenian village. Shitenia has numerous hot
spring resorts despite its perpetual winter climate. The other Shitenia is more
of a fabled place. It is a planet sized huge megalopolis in which most of the
Shitenians live. The planet city is accessible only with people who have the
most advance technologies. It is accessible via a dimensional portal
generator. The Shitenian nation is subtle but that doesnt mean it is always
invisible. Protopolis has huge alliance deal with Shitenia. Ezarra has always
interacted with Shitenia both as friend and enemy at the same time.
Shitenian people have migrated south to the known world too bringing them
their tools of the trade. Harumi Asano, Andsuke Toyama, Go Soba, Ovy Scizor,
and etc. are one of the most famous Shitenians or people who have Shitenian
bloodlines. The large Shitenian nation is composed of a huge commercial city
with its large administrative castle on the center of the city. Shitenian skies
are always red due to the large sun invigorating the nation with life and hope.
Some says the sun is artificially created but you cannot deny their proficiency
in technology. It also symbolizes despite being tired in life, the Shitenians are
filled with determination and hope just like the sun a giver of life. Shitenian
planet is composed of plains both elevated and flat as foundations to house
their cities. They are surrounded with both picturesque plateaus and

mountains. Mt. Danichiyama can be seen on any part of the city with thick
forests beneath it. In the edge of the great nation is where a series of resorts
could be found to recharge the lives of the people. The volcanic coastline is a
popular destination where families enjoy. It is also a popular spot where
samurai battle re-enactments after festivals are held. Movie directors chose
the coastline as their favourite place to shoot their movies epic battles. The
view of ice peaked mountains is truly a sight and wonder to behold.

NEGATIVE ZONE: WINTER STORM HIGHLIGHTS:

LEADERSHIP:

The Chao brothers are defeated. Their families were displaced. Chaos
Lionheart, the last champion of the Chaos has been destroyed. Damasco
Chao has died in mysterious circumstances. Emmanuel Howards united all
of Ezarra. He is crowned as August Emperor of all Ezarra. Howards and
his family changed their surnames into Ezarra. A tradition to be followed
by succeeding Ezarran monarchs as a sign of their dominance in the

Ezarran continent.
Immediately after his ascension to power, Emmanuel Howards occupied
himself with nation building. In a short time, with the help of his trusted
ministers, Howards virtually improved every facet of Ezarran life. He made
Ezarra even grander and more prosperous than ever been. Howards
stabilized the Ezarran borders from possible conquerors and cemented
alliances with nations especially Amenopolis. Howards attracted more
immigrants having their best and brightest to contribute to his grand
vision of nation building making Ezarra as de facto super power in the

known world.
A bad news swept across not only in Amenopolis but its effect will change
Ezarran history that Pharaoh Gibbeon Themistocles has been murdered
along with one of his children while travelling around immigrant
settlements. Howards immediately went to Amenopolis to console Queen
Neferea.

Howards told Neferea that he will be there for her whenever she needs
him. Howards offered Neferea a position to become the queen of Ezarra
but she declined Howards offer telling him that she is still mourning and

Harumi is his queen.

Howards asked his son Raphael Howards to check on the said immigrant
community and make sure to arrest those who are responsible. Howards

gave additional orders to secure the area.

During the entombment of Pharaoh Gibbeon, Shang Ping approached
Neferea suggested her that he is doubtful of her friend Howards. Neferea
tried to assure him but Shang Ping remained firm that Neferea should
keep herself on guard because something is wrong regarding Howards.
Neferea dismissed Shang Ping telling him Howards is a good friend. Shang
Ping continued warning Neferea. Shang Ping is one of the most prosperous

businessmen in Atari, one of the islands in Tiburon archipelago.

Pharaoh Gibbeon Themistocles Soter was buried in a temple near the
mountains. He will stay there for five years symbolizing the journey of his
soul to the afterlife. After he completed his journey to the afterlife, his
remains will be exhumed, be part of a grand procession to be cremated
with the ashes thrown into the Sea of Wealthians. The cremation signifies

that the souls body will join him into his bountiful afterlife.
Howards ordered a heavy Ezarran gun salute to his fallen comrade joining
the traditional Amenopolian military way of giving tributes to their fallen
leader. Howards assured Neferea and her family that he will always send
protection to them whenever they needed. Howards made it clear that it is
one of the provisions of their alliance. Howards bade Neferea goodbye
assuring her that they will together face a bright future no matter how

uncertain the current times are.

Upon arriving to the Ezarran palace, Harumi felt a bit insecure asking
Howards if he still has Neferea in his heart. Howards never gave Harumi a
convincing answer and walked away telling her he will get back to her

after he finished what he needs to accomplish for the time being.

Through the years of Ezarran peace and prosperity, Howards and Harumi
will conceive Francis Ezarra who will be a notable air force commander
later on. They later gave birth to Kathe Ezarra who will be the future
queen of Ezarra and is believed to the apple of Harumis eye.

Despite of peace enveloping the whole Ezarran world, sibling rivalry is at

its most intense in the royal household. Aurora is a champion swimmer at
school blitzing all her peers. It is until one sporting event sponsored by the
Rivera brothers that Aurora is bested by Kathe Ezarra, her sister who

became the new darling in swimming.

Both Kathe and Aurora will continue their rivalry both in school and
swimming in which neither sister will be able to get the decisive victory.
The sisters took their grievances with each other to their father Howards.
At a distance, Harumi smiled seeing they are one happy family. Howards
told both girls that they must settle their score once and for all in a private
swimming competition. Raphael Howards bet for Aurora while Francis

Ezarra goes for Kathe.

Aurora and Kathe got themselves ready for one final decisive swimming
competition. They were accompanied by their father, mother, and two
brothers to one of their family resorts. The swimming match will be best of
the three to crown a decisive victor among the two sisters. The match
started intensely where Aurora closely won the first one. The second one
started slow but Kathe eventually got the win. The third one which will
scar both sisters relationship for a long time had Aurora winning the first
part, getting exhausted with Kathe being the victor just like the first time.
Howards asked both sisters to shake each others hand and hug each

other as a sign of sportsmanship.

Aurora seemed to concede but she remained bitter. She has a plan to end
it everything. On the last night of their vacation, Aurora and Kathe had a
bonding time near the lake. It seems they have understood each other
until Aurora vented out blamed Kathe for everything especially being her
parents favourite shoved her into the lake. Too late of not knowing the
lake is under maintenance since Aurora has removed the sign, Kathe was
electrocuted. Her screams got the attention of her parents with Howards
spanking Aurora violently for doing this to her sister. Paramedics arrived to
bring Kathe to the hospital with Howards telling Aurora that he is not yet

done on her.
In the hospital, Howards continue scolding Aurora that if Kathe dies he will
not only disown her but will get her to prison too. Raphael and Francis
consoled their mother who is sobbing silently. Family friends arrived to

encourage the Howards. The whole family were shocked when the doctor

told them that Kathe is still alive and is in a stable condition.

The doctor told the Howards that Kathes body is in a state of adjustment.
Kathes body managed to have a symbiosis with electrical energy and
water. The time she fell into the lake made the elements examine the
extent of how her body responds to such life threatening trauma. The
doctor added that her receptive to such high energy voltage might be an
explanation to her hyperactive personality. Aurora started to weep but
Howards told her that she will go to Neferea to be trained in manners and

to become more mature in life.

Howards and Harumi had a brief argument regarding his decision to bring
Aurora to Amenopolis. Harumi told Howard that the Ezarran Shitenian way
of discipline is much better. Howards argued that Aurora and Kathe will
continue fighting if they both stayed under the same roof. Harumi replied
that Aurora will start to feel sorry at her. Later, Harumi hinted Howards
that the reason he is taking Aurora to Amenopolis is to live with Neferea
thus starting a Howards-Neferean dynasty. As a response Howards didnt

waste time giving her the choices for their future.

The choices to be followed that if Aurora goes to Amenopolis to be trained
by Neferea herself, Harumi retains her queen ship and she will never get
divorced. If Harumi chose Aurora to retain not only she needs to step
down from her position but she must go back to Shitenia never again will
she see her family especially her children. Harumi chose the first one with

Howards telling her she still loves him after all these years.
Kathe heard her parents arguing with each other. She told her parents to
let Aurora stay in Ezarra so she could have a one happy family. She
admitted she is bitter with her older sister but she is open for
reconciliation in order not to complicate things. Howards replied to her

daughter that it is not only for her own good but a bright future for all.
Melchiezeddek Harrison and family realized what became of Kathe rushed
to the hospital to check on her condition. Raphael Howards was
mesmerized seeing how Alia has grown. He started to admire her exotic
features. He told Rayn to tell General Harrison and his wife to let Alia live
with him and his family in the palace. Raphael insisted that Alia could be a
great Ezarran princess. Rayn told Alia to get inside. The Harrison family

gave Kathe a get well soon letter and flowers for her speedy recovery. Alia
told Kathe to get well as quickly as possible so that they could play

outdoors.
Howards went to Amenopolis to send his daughter to be adopted by
Queen Neferea. Neferea was initially surprised but Howards told her that
under her care she would blossom into a beautiful and wise princess.
Howards made it clear that by sending his daughter for adoption does not
only mean for her own good but also to improve the already close
relationships between two great countries. Howards saw the Prime
Minister Dominus, uncle of Queen Neferea and offered him gold and some
military arsenals. He meant trust when he sent his beloved daughter to a

great ally.
Howards told Neferea that when the time they first arrived in Monterra,
they promised each other that they will be the ones who will shape
Ezarran global history. Howards made Neferea known that she is the one
whom she wanted to be queen but since she is married, the Howards-

Neferean dynasty will continue through Aurora and her descendants.

Princess Aurora Howards Ezarra was educated in Amenopolian culture and

tradition thus changing her name into Princess Agotamun Soter.

Howards and his entourage stopped at the Tondonian coastline reflecting
his early days in a foreign land with an uncertain future. Howards
remembered the time when he caught the attention of a new immigrant
named Alvin Bersamina. Bersamina claimed to be Nefereas former lover.
He is not allowed to marry her due to his financial status more importantly
his social standing in life. Howards saw the potential in Bersamina.
Bersamina served both Howards and Neferea as a soldier during his

unification of Ezarra.
Howards also saw a young woman migrant named Jennifer Choon.

Howards also asked for her service in Ezarra promising her a better future.
Kathe invited Rayn and Alia to play in her palace courtyard. Raphael
Howards is smitten by Alias beauty that he cannot help staring at her
from afar. Howards came back from a long journey introducing Bersamina
and Choon to the kids. Howards told Rayn and Alia to spend their dinner
eating with them. He told Kathe to let them play her computer games
while dinner is prepared.

In Tiburon island of Atari, Shang Ping got the attention of the Atari
government by teaching criminals a lesson through his martial arts skills.
Atari officials were impressed. They offered him to join the government to

secure the island while continuing his business ventures.

Neferea and her family went to Tiburon to sign an alliance with the
Tiburon central government. Shang Ping went to Tiburon Central
University to check his sons progress. It is also the first time when he saw
Neferea who has having a brief talk in the same university. He was
impressed by her beauty and sincerity. Amenopolis and Tiburon signed an
alliance treaty in which Tiburon will always protect Amenopolis from
invaders. Shang Ping caught a glimpse of Neferea and her family enjoying

with the locals. It made Shang Ping more ambitious and driven in life.
After a career dead end in the era of peace, Alvin Bersamina restarted his
career as a soldier fighting under Howards. He fought numerous
insurgents successfully securing Ezarran territories. He helped the Rivera
brothers pacify the warlike Protopolians. Bersamina is notable of keeping
the community of immigrants down in the Tondonian continent safe

numerous times.
Choon started her service as a personal assistant to Queen Harumi.
Harumi is so impressed by her performance that she regarded Choon as
her own daughter. Choon was also trained in Shitenian fighting style to act
as one of the protectors of the Ezarran royal family. Choon can be safely
said as one of the pioneers of female royal bodyguards beside Aryana
Linda, one of Melissa Robinsons former bodyguards. Choon got the trust
of the royal family and sometimes have done so much business
transactions under the Ezarran royal family. Choon also taught Kathe her

fighting skills. She and Kathe formed a close sister like relationship.
Ezarra was rocked by numerous explosions across the country. Terroristic
activities are the main motivations of the attack. Terrorists managed to
break into Ezarra killing many civilians in a short time. People were
advised to stay home as all aspects of daily lives were threatened. Ezarra

raised maximum red alert on the wake of attacks by terrorists.

Howards and his ministers held an emergency meeting to solve the
problem. General Harrison told Howards that he is paying the price of
letting too much immigrants in Ezarra. General Masakado Toyama

suggested that the culprits were inside jobs. Howards disagreed with his
generals theories. He ordered them to get the job done as quickly as
possible. Howards made a speech assuring his people that they will surely

make the situation under control.

The bombings became worse as the hours have passed. Civilians reported

seeing terrorists on motorcycles inflicting chaos on the streets of Ezarra.

Ezarran intelligence reported that the terrorists captured the irrigation
dams, power plants, and trade routes holding Ezarran way of life hostage.
Black outs panicked the citizens even more. Ezarra suffered missile
attacks which forced Howards and his men to work harder to return back

to normal.
Ferdinand Quezon and Queen Neferea told Howards that they too suffered

attacks from the terrorists.

Howards ordered his men to track Peter Chaos whereabouts and capture

him to interrogate him about his alleged involvement.

Alvin Bersamina and his men went to battle defeating the terrorists that
captured parts of Ezarra. Go Soba and his men annihilated many of them
giving Ezarra a little relief. General Harrison along with Pericles Ulysses
Alexander (nephew of the late Pericles Alexander) ruthlessly defeated
terrorists out of the city. Masakado Toyama and troops struck down the

attackers with swift justice.

The Rivera brothers told Howards that they need reinforcements because
they were losing control of the Protopolian area which was swarmed by
the terrorists. The brothers were a bit surprised seeing maverick Shitenian

troops defeating their forces.

Howards men captured Peter Chao (Christian name of Roman Chao Jr.)
while he was on a medical mission. Howards went to Peters cell to
interrogate him. Howards accused Peter of becoming a pastor so he could
be immune of suspicion in planning schemes to bring down the Ezarran
government. Peter denied it and was tortured. Howards further accused
Peter of collaborating with his Chao relatives to bring down Ezarra. Peter
faintly replied that he has no plan and will never plan on bringing the

current administration down. Howards left Peter to his men.

Raphael Howards fended off terrorists who tried to infiltrate his palace.
Choon and the other bodyguards brought Queen Harumi and Kathe to a
safer place. No part of the Ezarran palace is safe. Harumi and company

saw terrorists already on the supposed safe place. Harumi with the help of

her bodyguards struck down much of them hiding for their safety.
Raphael Howards encountered more terrorists on his way out the palace.
He and his men ruthlessly killed them to clear off his path. Raphael

Howards saw the word Chao on one of the terrorists shirt.

Alvin Bersamina met up with Raphael Howards delivering a telling blow to
the terrorists all around Ezarras streets. Ferdinand Quezon sent support

units to blow up the more powerful arsenals of the enemy.

General Harrison rallied his men to reclaim the irrigation dams of Ezarra
from the enemy. Go Soba and his men recaptured the power plants of
Ezarra restoring electricity. Pericles Alexander and his men did an Ezarran

wide campaign of helping the others get rid of the revolutionaries.

In the palace after some time of checking around, Harumi and Choon
surprised that Kathe is missing leaving many guards dead on the floor.
Harumi tried to inform Howards of Kathes disappearance but to no avail.
More ambush units barged into the room but were felled down by Choon

and her companions efficiently.

Raphael Howards and Alvin Bersamina successfully defeating more
terrorists but were surprised that they were much more than they thought.
Raphael and Bersamina held off the enemy forces waiting for the other

commanders to join them.

Both Mactal City and Amenopolis were under attack. Ferdinand Quezons
forces easily repelled the terrorists. His formidable forces battered them
into submission. Quezons men examined the bodies and were certain that
the Chaos were behind the attacks. Nefereas forces along with the help of

Tiburons military had much easier time defeating the terrorists.

The terrorists started using large aerial vehicles in bombing Ezarra on all
sides. Ground terrorists units entered Ezarra without difficulties. Raphael
Howards and Alvin Bersaminas forces went to a retreat. Raphael told
Bersamina to hold off the ground forces while he focuses on bringing down
the aerial forces. Ezarran air force assisted Howards in annihilating the

aerial forces.
Alvin Bersamina and his troops fought off the ground forces intensely
killing many terrorists as possible to secure the sovereignty and stability
of Ezarra. General Harrison, Alexander, Toyama, and Go Soba reunited

with both Raphael Howards and Alvin Bersamina to deliver the final blow

to the terrorists.
Howards tried to contact both Neferea and Quezon to check on their
condition but was interrupted by the terrorist leaders broadcast. The
terrorist leaders told Howards that he stole Ezarra from the Chao leaders
and he and his people will dearly pay for it. The terrorists also made it
clear that the chaos will stop if Howards will step down and hand Ezarra to
them. Howards replied that the terrorists were ridiculous and delusional.
The terrorists introduced themselves as the sons of his previous employer,

former Ezarran leader Benshazzar Chao.

The names of Ben Chaos children are Reynan Chao, Reynold Chao,
Emerson Chao, and Rita Chao. The sister seemed to hold back her
brothers on attacking Ezarra but ended up scolded by her brothers.
Reynan Chao accused Howards of being an opportunist of stealing his
fathers kingdom and planning his murder. Howards rejected the
accusations and told Reynan to help contribute his fathers former

kingdom instead.
Howards told Reynan that his father wouldnt be proud of him putting
misery and jeopardizing all his citizens plucking their livelihood out of
them. Reynan argued that Howards has no right in ruling Ezarra and must
suffer the consequences. Emerson showed Howards with Kathe being held
hostage. He asked Howards to stop trying to act tough with all the stakes
against him. Reynold asked Howards to make a choice, his control of
Ezarra or his daughter. The Chao sons signed off with Howards telling

himself that their days were numbered.

Howards went back to the palace and was glad seeing his wife safe.
Howards asked Choon to dress up for they will embark on a journey to
rescue Kathe. Howards promised Harumi that he will bring back Kathe

alive.
The elite forces of Ezarra cleaned up the city from the terrorists. They
gunned down what remained of them. They seized all the terrorists

possessions. They captured the remaining ones to be brought for trial.

Peter Chao heard his relatives talking with Howards. He managed to
loosen the ropes that tied him. He knocked down some of the guards after
playing possum. He tried to warn his relatives of what Howards can do to

them if they were captured. Due to weak signal, he failed to warn his
cousins. The guards caught up with him and he was knocked out returned

to the cell.
The Ezarran commanders and the terrorists met up just outside the city
for one final battle. The terrorists confused the Ezarran forces with their
motorcycle troops. Raphael Howards and his troops learned of their game
gunning down several of them. Alvin Bersamina halted much of the
terrorists melee forces. Ezarran tanks dismantled huge number of

terrorists.
Go Soba and his troops pulverized much of the opposing forces with their
new artilleries to give way for the other generals. Pericles Alexander
obliterated another section of the enemy forces after having no answer for
his military prowess. Alexanders hoplites overwhelmed the once
determined forces. Jervacio Lim, one of General Harrisons men got the
notice of the Ezarran military force by securing the trade routes once
again. He and his men climbed the mountains killing off most of the

ambush units.
General Harrison and Masakado Toyama ruthlessly defeated the Chao
forces on the way. Harrison secured the Protopolian area giving relief to
the Rivera brothers. The Ezarrans regained control of the Protopolian area.
Both Masakado and Andsuke Toyama realized that the terrorists were
supported by their compatriots. Unable to shed blood to his fellow
compatriots, Masakado Toyama used psychological warfare by awaiting
his reinforcement units chasing the Shitenians into nowhere beyond the

inhospitable plains.
The rest of the generals went back to surround the Chao forces making
them unable to escape. Nowhere to run and no tomorrow to face, the
Chao forces valiantly regrouped resorting even to suicide techniques to try
bring down much of the Ezarran army as possible. Emmanuel Howards
accompanied by Choon told Alvin Bersamina to stop enjoying himself in a

killing spree and instead accompany him to save his daughter.

The Ezarran generals inflicted a heavy blow to the Chao forces giving the
enemy choices to either surrender or die in a battlefield. Brimming with
pride of a Chao despite his forces already defeated, Emerson Chao
introduced himself called up Raphael Howards for a one on one challenge

for his freedom. Raphael Howards immediately answered his challenge.

Emerson ordered his troops to surprise the younger Howards but the

troops were easily dispatched by sniper units.

Emerson Chao gave Raphael Howards trouble by running around.
Eventually both men clashed metals with each other. Emerson had his
moments but he faced the inevitable when Raphael Howards took out his
pressure points stabbing him in the neck. Raphael Howards decapitated
Emersons head placing it above an Ezarran pike. Raphaels ruthlessness

strike fear and awe into the hearts of his fellow commanders.
Howards saw his sons victory over an enemy commander put a faint grin
on his face. Howards accompanied by both Choon and Bersamina seemed
confused on where Kathe is actually held. Choon pointed out that a Chao
commander is peeking above the icy mountain distraught on the fate of
his comrade. Howards stopped over and ordered Bersamina to accompany

them with his best men.

Howards and his allies went up to the hostile mountains blitzing the
enemy forces. Howards used his skills defeating more opponents than he
needed. The Chao forces successfully gave Howards a false sense of
security by revealing their huge number. Howards and his allies stopped
for a moment to think for a strategy. Ezarran planes bombed the large
Chao forces panicking them with mild avalanches. Howards and his allies

rushed towards the enemy defeating more of them to advance further.

Howards and his allies met with Reynold Chao with a few but formidable
forces. The Chao forces opened to Howards causing Choon to fall off from
her horse. Reinforcements from Howards caught up with the Chao forces

sending Reynolds forces into a retreat.

Howards and his allies continued chasing Reynold and his troops but he
and his allies fell off into a waterfall after Reynolds troops fired a missile

destroying the ground where Howards and his allies stand.

In Ezarra, Cardinal Parisee is introduced addressing the people that
Howards should subscribe to the divine doctrine of Lord Absolute so Ezarra
would always be prosperous and peaceful. The series of events that
brought Ezarra to her knees were sure signs that Howards must seek the
mercy of Lord Absolute to heal the land, Parisee added.

Howards, Bersamina, and Choon regained their senses swam to the edge
of the river. Howards and his friends continued travelling till they saw a
glimpse of the temple where he once fought Chaos Lionheart and Claudio

Chao during his war for unification campaign.

Bersamina contacted some generals that they found the place where the
Chao commanders might be hiding all along. He added that the temple
was surrounded by heavy defences. Howards, Bersamina, and Choon saw
reinforcements arriving and prepare not only to rescue Kathe but also to

finally destroy the legacy of the Chaos.

Outside of the temple shortly after Ezarran forces fought off the enemy
forces, Howards told his allies that they must go separate ways to surprise
the enemy. Howards and his allies were not met only by mundane forces
but supernatural as well. He concluded that this is the last stand of the

glory of the Chao kingdoms.

Howards used his Grandmaster weapon eliminating huge number of
enemy forces. Bersamina and Choon teamed up eliminating more enemy
forces. Ezarran forces unleashed missiles to put the enemy forces in

disarray.
Kathe heard Ezarran forces were on their way outside to rescue her. She
stealthily killed the soldiers who guarded her taking their weapons. She
was shocked when she generated high voltage electricity by fighting
aggressively. On her way up hoping that a helicopter would rescue her,
she was kidnapped by an infernal being diving her with him into the

depths.
Once inside, Bersamina ordered Choon to look for Kathe while he tries to
clear the temple out of enemy forces. Choon disagreed with Bersamina
insisting they should work together. Bersamina told Choon that he trusted
her abilities to save Kathe. Bersamina encountered supernatural creatures
but ending up defeating them just like ordinary enemies. Choon
encountered guards out thinking them searching from one cell to another
finding no trace of Kathe. Choon looked further ending up in an open cell
with signs of a person being held hostage. Choon examined the cell but

heard someone is coming. She below the side bed to evade capture.
Bersamina went further into the temple encountering squads of Reynold
Chaos troops. He managed to kill some of them but Reynold and his

troops threw a tear gas to disappear from Bersaminas sight. Some of

Reynolds troops, attempted to shoot down Bersamina also to give their

leader time to regroup.

With the rest of their troops remaining, Rita Chao planned to escape with
her relatives. She conceded that the Chaos could no longer return to
power they used to have. Rita told her retinue to wait for Reynold Chao.
Reynold and his troops were so confident they could fight another day but

they were cornered and gunned down by Ezarran elite forces.

After waiting for a while, Rita Chao realized she will no longer see her
brothers alive again. After pressured by her driver, Rita and her entourage
barely escape with their lives from the Ezarrans. Rita mused that it is
better to live a normal life than trying to regain the power which is not on

your favour.
Howards reunited with both Choon and Bersamina. The three advanced
into the main sanctuary defeating supernatural fiends. Inside the main
sanctuary, they examined the giant statue of Claudio Chao surrounded by
smaller statues of all the Chao leaders. They were greeted by aggressive
biker terrorists and supernatural enemies alike. The three defeated every

enemy thrown into them.

Reynan Chao sneaked out from the giant statue to greet Howards and his
allies. Howards told Reynan that he is surrounded and nowhere to escape.
He demanded Reynan to give him his daughter. Reynan replied that Kathe
is now in hell. Howards remarked that Reynan is bluffing. Reynan told
Howards that with the latter acting tough he cost the life of his daughter.
Howards yelled on Reynan to give Kathe or die! Reynan replied Howards
that it is impossible for him to give Kathe back to him since she is already
feasted by his uncle Claudio in hell. Howards told Reynan that he originally
wanted to capture him alive but he should pay for his life after putting

Kathe in grave danger.

Reynan told Howards that he is good in nothing but stealing kingdoms and
lying. Reynan told Howards that after murdering his father, he has no plan
in sparing the lives of his relatives. All he wanted was to accumulate
wealth and power which was not his in the first place. Howards threatened
Reynan that he left him no choice but to destroy the last of the Chaos.
Reynan replied Howards that he is waiting for that response as expected.

Howards equipped his sword giving Reynan a chance to defend the lost

glory of the Chao leaders.

Reynan responded that he brought Ezarra to its knees and now Howards
with him to hell. Reynan mocked Howards Grandmaster sword as he
equipped his own version of the weapon. Reynan boldly claimed that not
only he will reclaim his fathers kingdom but also to put him to justice.

Howards replied that they just simply fight and eat his words.
Howards and Reynan engaged in a one on one combat inside the temples
main shrine. More troops kept both Bersamina and Choon busy. Reynan
tried to time Howards aggressive move catching him off guard. Howards
responded Reynan with his excellent swordplay. At times Reynan managed
to get to upper hand but Howards fought on. Reynan threw explosives as
a foil to hide his main offensive plan. Howards countered Reynan with the
attributes of the Grandmaster sword. Reynan continue to move on
exploiting Howards shortcomings. Howards tapped into his swords power
as a desperation move failing to hit Reynan. Reynan approached Howards
ready to deliver the fatal blow. In perfect timing, Howards perfectly

countered fatally defeating Reynan Chao.

A dying Reynan revealed to Howards that he is just a pawn to a grander
plan. As Reynans breath is slipping away, Howards grabbed Reynan
asking him Kathes whereabouts. Reynan uttered that neither of them
were PURELY responsible in Ben Chaos death. He concluded that he shall
never be known yet he is close by. Reynan Chao died without telling
Howards where to find Kathe. Even killing off Reynan Chao and stopping
the terrorists, Howards was plagued by more questions surrounding the

mysterious death of Benshazzar Chao.

Bersamina pushed a switch near the statue and a secret door was
revealed. Howards and his allies descended the deep staircase. They
ended up an empty room. Choon told Howards that she sensed a strong
energy reading emanating from the floor. Choon put a bomb asking
Howards and Bersemina to stay back. After the bomb exploded, a portal to
hell was revealed with the three descending it. Howards analysed what
Reynan told him. He concluded that Claudio Chao might be the one
Reynan Chao was talking about.

Howards and his allies travelled the morbid underworld fighting many
supernatural fiends. Before they reached the very edge, they encountered
more supernatural enemies with the need of defeating them to proceed.
They entered the last door with Claudio Chao welcoming them. Howards

saw Kathe being tied upside down just above the flames of hell.
Kathe told Claudio to let her go but he replied that only if her father
managed to best him in combat which is impossible. Howards told Claudio
that even with all the abominations in hell, he wont regain the lost
kingdoms of Chao from him. Claudio argued Howards that ever since the
beginning, he was not interested in earthly kingdoms. He was much
interested in the supernatural and occult for they exceeded vain glories.
Claudio made his intention known that even he was not interested of
Ezarra. He will simply do his brothers a favour despite rejecting him.

Claudio summoned many Chaos Lionhearts to fight Howards and his allies.
Howards and his allies were concerned by many Chao Lionhearts. He
asked Choon to save Kathe while he and Bersamina distract Claudio and
his gang. Claudio boasted that he had nothing more to do since he is
already the king of hell. What left for him to do is to absorb Ezarra as a
payment of what Howards did to his brothers. Howards told Bersamina to
assist Choon while he fights the Lionhearts. Howards did trashtalk Claudio

to distract him from harming Kathe.

Howards defeated the Lionhearts. He prepared to face Claudio Chao one
more time. Claudio told Howards that after he is done destroying Ezarra,
he will absorb all life into his nothingness to drown into his eternal hell.
Seeing Kathe in a delicate state, he ordered both Choon and Bersamina to

look after her. Before Claudio could respond, Howards attacked him.
Howards was driven from pole to pole by Claudios devastating attacks.
Claudio easily dominated Howards in the initial stage. Howards gave
Claudio his own dose but Claudio fired back more relentlessly. Bersamina
and Choon tried to help but were driven out. Howards damaged Claudio
with his Grandmaster but Claudio remained defiant firing huge doses of
energy. Claudio started rotating around Howards with insane speed hurling
supernatural attacks. He even disabled the powers of Howards
Grandmaster telling him that he is his brothers keepers. Claudio began
clashing with Howards with his staff. He started to beat Howards with his

staff multiple times. Howards felt unable to use the powers of his sword.
He had to rely on his skills alone. Claudio used Howards time stopping
watch against him. He started to throw giant rocks on Howards

combusting them to further damage Howards.

Claudio used his insane speed and mastery of supernatural cultivations
rotated around Howards hurling different kinds of attacks. Kathe was told
by her companions to stay put. Kathe disobeyed her companions instead.
She grabbed a sword timed Claudio stabbing him in the back. Her
hyperactivity released powerful electrical energies stunning Claudio giving
Howards ample time to recover. Howards gathered all his will equipped his
sword stabbed Claudio at the heart. Howards felt the powers his sword
possessed returned. He finished Claudio with several slashes ending the
fight destroying the most powerful Chao leader of all. The defeat of

Claudio Chao ended the Chaos influence once and for all.
Howards embraced Kathe. He and his companions prepared to leave as
Claudios hell is on the verge of collapsing. As they head back midway
towards the entrance. Howards and his companions felt reality is changing
around them. The further they head back the more confusing it became.
They found out that Claudio changed into his final form and ready to

destroy them for good.

Claudio pursued Howards and the others trying to absorb them into his
system along with the rest of hell and its souls. Claudio unleashed several
sharp spikes attempting to impale Howards and his allies. Howards tried to
fire back but to no avail. Kathe threw some explosives but failed even to
stun the beast. Howards yelled Kathe to focus on escaping than trying to

damage Claudio.
Howards and his allies managed to reach near the entrance of hell but
Claudio became more grotesque and bent on destroying Howards and
company. Howards ended up on the receiving end trying to fight off
Claudio. He even nearly got absorbed. Bersamina and Choon gave all they
got but too insufficient to land a telling blow. Claudio messed up the
landscape of hell destroying the ground where Howards and his allies were

standing.
Kathe fired her grappling hook to hang on with her life. Choon fired the
same weapon with Bersamina and Howards clinging on her for dear life.

Claudio started mocking Howards and his allies for being desperate. He
continued to unleash several spikes along with infernal attacks on

Howards and his allies.

Howards concluded that Claudio made a fatal mistake of trying to kill
them only to turn up against him. Howards told his allies that Claudio is
supported by his limbs that once they lose their grips, he will fall into the
pits of hell himself. Howards, Choon, Kathe, and Bersamina shrugged off
everything Claudio could unleash towards them. They focused on
removing Claudios grips on all sides. Claudio started to absorb everything
on his surroundings. Howards fired one last energy blast from his sword

sending Claudio to his death in the fires of hell.

Ezarran elite forces found out the secret location pulled Howards and his
allies up. With Claudio dead, Ezarra returned back to normal to be a

wealthy and stable nation once again.

Back in the palace, a man who introduced himself as Norberto Cham
wished to give his service to Howards and Ezarra. Cham told Howards that
he admired Howards a lot and is honoured to give his all for the

betterment of Ezarra.
Cham introduced Howards his invention which got his attention. It is the
device called The Terminus in which he can trigger heart attacks on his
political opponents without getting caught. Howards told Cham that he is

such a clever genius from hell.

After Claudios menace, life in Ezarra returned back to normal. As usual,
Howards further improved Ezarras military capabilities. He bought many
units from different empires as prototypes to be reproduced in Ezarra with
the finest quality. He became patron of education making Ezarrans among
the most educated. He supported various science projects which can be
handy adapting to the future. He continued expanding the already large
nation of Ezarra to house the increasing population. He built the island of
Pacifica along the Ezarran Lake to serve as another thriving town. He
oversaw the building of Nefereas Ivory Tower as the crowning
achievement of the town of maritime town. He built more freeways to
have easier access to places beyond Ezarra. He tore down the old Chao
Forrest Temple to give way for the construction of series of municipalities.

Ezarra through the years have expanded further in wealth, opulence, and
prominence with peace and security as its abstract climates. However, the
increasing number of immigrants alarmed some of Howards generals and

some of the nationalistic citizens.

General Toyama and General Harrison heard the concerns of the citizens
that accepting more immigrants will cripple the economy with the
immigrants taking away the jobs from the citizens. They went to Howards

to address the issue.

General Toyama told Howards that the increasing number of immigrants
will cause destabilization on the country. Howards replied that Toyama
shouldnt act like his old enemies, the Chaos that disliking immigrants cost
their downfall. Toyama replied that there is nothing wrong supporting
immigrants but the number had already peaked. Howards in a swinging
mood remarked that through the years there was no complain of having
destabilization so that means getting the best and brightest of the
immigrants is and will always be good for the economy. Toyama replied
that times change. Ezarra losing its nationalism due to too many kinds of
people. Howards angrily replied Toyama that immigrants made Ezarra that
he himself an immigrant gave his life to have the prosperity Ezarra
currently is enjoying. Toyama shook his head told Ezarra that all it has are
wealth and a good life but no sense of identity. He walked out of the

meeting with Howards keeping an eye on him.

General Harrison told Howards that he has been his allies throughout his
long career. He added that despite being overtly nationalistic, he tried to
believe Howards cause but he agreed with Toyama that Ezarra is more of
a huge money machine lacking a sense of pride and identity. Howards
asked Harrison about Ezarran prosperity and military capability. Harrison
replied more into it that money and power fade dividing the people
without direction. A sense of nationality, real identity straight from the
heart will be crucial when everything had lost. Howards replied that
everyone who settled in Ezarra immigrants or not will be proud of their
shared heritage. Howards made it clear to General Harrison that Ezarra
will be a land of immigrants and if he didnt like his policies, he should
leave and migrate to other nations. Howards assured General Harrison

that he should put himself in others shoes, he will indeed respond the

same way demanding for equal rights.

Tiburon central government is collapsing. Shang Ping expanded his
resources took over the island of Atari from its weak bureaucratic
government. He took the name Teklamdawpaya Bodhisattva as the new

Atari leader. He proceeded to conquer Baku after heavy fighting.

Jervacio Lim went to vacation in Mactal City. While exploring Tondonia,
from afar, he caught a glimpse of Raphael Howards making business with
the same men who were responsible of killing Gibbeon Themistocles and
his son. His belief of Howards being a righteous leader started to unsettle

him after this.

Masakado Toyama and son Andsuke Toyama went to Shitenia for a
vacation. Toyama assured his son that he had nothing to worry about. He
and Howards had a simple misunderstanding which will end for the best of

them two.
Jervacio Lim went back to Ezarra and informed General Harrison of what
he saw. He took a photo of Raphael Howards and his business partners as
evidence. Harrison told Jervacio to keep the photo because it will cause
another series of destabilization in Ezarra. Harrison told Jervacio to enjoy
the rest of his off days. He told Jervacio that he will hire private

investigators to uncover more of the truth.

Teklamdawpaya swiftly conquered Parsis. He ordered his forces to
campaign near Tendoh to prepare for another skirmish. Teklamdawpaya

planned to conquer the main island after he is done of Tendoh.

Howards accompanied by Bersamina went to Amenopolis to attend the
funeral of Dominus. He reintroduced Bersamina to Neferea who was her
former lover. Howards jokingly remarked that Bersamina had been
through a lot and ready to remarry her. He invited Neferea to have a state
visit in Ezarra the coming days. He privately gave Neferea good news that
she will be the queen of Ezarra and she will be crowned with the wealth of
the two nations. Neferea was reluctant but Howards convinced her that it
will be the climax of their promise when they were new migrants in Ezarra.
Howards told Neferea that he will do anything to protect her for he loved
her more than anything in the world.

Kathe asked her mother why her father seemed cold to her. Harumi
assured Kathe that Howards still loves her. She told Kathe that she will
always be ready to prove her feelings on him. Kathe replied her mother
that one day if she has a boyfriend, she will not let anyone get her mans

attention.
In Shitenia, Andsuke told his father to take care that he will be enjoying
the hot spring nearby. Masakado Toyama had been given a drink. He
started to become fainted and collapsed. Andsuke heard Ezarran
bodyguards opened fire on the intruders. The guards were overwhelmed.
They barged inside the house repeatedly stabbed the already unconscious

Toyama.
Andsuke dressed up, barged into the house killing the intruders. There he
saw his fathers lifeless body. He believed that it was a foul play. He
remembered that Toyama had misunderstanding with Howards regarding
immigration policies with him favouring nationalism. Andsuke called the

police and brought the case on the administrative court.

Back in Ezarra, General Harrison heard what became of his colleague. He
started to think that Howards became a different man after he tasted
power and wealth for a very long time. He decided not to make move until
the time is right. He believed that sufficient evidences were needed to
finally make a case against Howards. Harumi found out the fate of
Toyama. She started to question Howards but Howards made it clear to

her that his death was purely a Shitenian domestic issue.

Howards was again approached by Parisee that he is starting to be
disliked by his own people. Parisee urged that Howards really need to
surrender to Absolute and his followers to have a better chance running
Ezarra smoothly. Howards shrugged off his advice. Parisee warned

Howards that his immigration policies will cost him in the long run.
Neferea and her family went to Ezarra for a tour. They were warmly
welcomed by Howards himself. Howards told the crowd that Neferea will
be their de facto queen years to come. The people booed Howards
rejected his proposal. The people told Neferea that Harumi will always be
the queen of Ezarra. Howards tried to save his face telling the people that
two great nations joined as one will always be a perfect recipe for a
perfect empire.

The people told Howards if his marriage life is not stable then he is not fit
in further ruling Ezarra. Howards shielded Neferea and her family from the

angry crowd and quickly left.

Harumi requested Neferea for a private audience. Harumi told Neferea
that Howards is married and she needs to stay away from him as early as
now. Neferea replied that Howards loves her more than her that she is
only a rebound after she got married to Gibbeon. Harumi defended her
love of Howards telling Neferea that she was there when Howards needed
it most. She was there during his best and worst. She sacrificed her life
numerous times to get him where he is currently at. She will be always
there when Howards need a shoulder to cry on. She told Neferea that she
may not be the queen in Howards eyes but she is the queen of Ezarra

whether he likes it or not.

Neferea told Harumi that her problem was that Howards seemed too cold
on her. She made her case that Howards loves her by simply getting her
attention all the times which the latter is lacking. Neferea told Harumi that
Howards is a great leader and its time to celebrate without ill will. Harumi
kept silent and let Neferea leave without calling the guards. Agotamun
asked if her mother is okay. Harumi told her daughter that shes alright

and Neferea need her more the time being.

Howards toured Neferea on the town of Pacifica. He told her that the new
tower is a testament of his love for her. He told Neferea that she can stay
anytime she wanted out of the stress of decision making. Howards
assigned Bersamina to be the personal bodyguard of Neferea. He told
Bersamina that he will follow Neferea and her family back to Amenopolis
after the tour. Choon resigned from the service of Harumi of wanting to

give back to her fellow immigrants back in the Tondonian continent.

Andsuke presented his case to the Shitenian administrative court. The
investigation resulted to Masakado Toyama died of foul play. The Shitenian
killers were hired killers to pose as real Shitenians to cover up the crime.
Emperor Howards desecrated anything related to the Shitenian nation.
The killing of a person with Shitenian blood is an attack to the Shitenian
nation and its people. The attack on the Shitenian nation and its people
violated Shitenian code of honour. Emperor Howards violated Shitenian
code of honour. Anyone who violated the Shitenian nation, its people, and

the sacred code of honour must suffer consequences. Emperor Howards

must face the wrath of the Shitenian people in his peril. The results will be

forwarded to the Shitenian administrative council for further evaluation.

Andsuke Toyama sought the alliances of other warlords in a possible war
against Howards. General Harrison sent his envoys to console Andsuke
encouraging him to stay strong in trying times. Andsuke Toyama inherited
his fathers weapon the Barbarian Cutter to use it inflicting justice to his

enemies.
The Shitenian general Nobunaga made it clear to the Ezarrans through the
news that the death of Masakado Toyama was a move by Emperor
Howards to desecrate Shitenian legacy. He added that Shitenians were
part of Howards the time he was still fighting the war to unite Ezarra.
Nobunaga and his war councils declared war on Emperor Howards and
Ezarra as a consequence of violating the Shitenian nation, Shitenian
people, and its sacred code of honour. Nobunaga even made Howards
realized that the murder of Toyama was a deliberate insult to the concept
of justice. One who disregards justice must be put to justice in a harsh

way.
Howards was enraged of what the Shitenians just said. General Harrison
told Howards to calm down telling him that if he is just willing to listen,
things wont escalate in that scale. General Harrison commended how
Howards successfully united Ezarra but he needs to adapt to the changing
times. Harumi volunteered Howards that she wanted to go to her
compatriots to negotiate her peace. Howards responded to his wife that it
is too dangerous to go to Shitenia. Harumi replied Howards for peace and
betterment of Ezarra. She assured Howards that fellow Shitenians wont

hurt each other.

Harumi went to Shitenia to put her case to the administrative council. No
matter how hard she tried, she failed to negotiate with her compatriots.
The council told her their decision was already final. Harumi resigned her
fate to the council that even she is a Shitenian, she will be happy to die
with Howards. Harumi went back to Ezarra apologized to Howards.

Howards told her to have her rest and he will deal with the jealous nation.
General Harrison and a huge number of troops went to Shitenia. He made
a speech that he can relate with the Shitenians about the concept of

nationalism. He told the audience that Howards cared about the

immigrants more than the real citizens of Ezarra. He had disregarded the
concept of nationalism. He wanted immigrants to overrun his country
displacing the people. He tried to destroy Howards reputation telling them
of his increased paranoia, unpredictability, and fits of rage with just a
minor disagreement. Harrison claimed that Howards became more senile
through the years of absolute power. Howards never gave credit to the
very people that helped him ascend to the pinnacle of power. Howards
showed the world that his infidelity will cause a sharp decline on Ezarran

morals.
Harrison eulogized Toyama that he was a great friend, a great general,
and a just person who will be always be the champion of weak and
helpless. Toyama was a father figure to both Howards and Andsuke. He
rhetorically made the audience think that killing a father figure who
helped you throughout your life will question what kind a person that
person is. Harrison vowed that Toyama and other people whom Howards

killed will be put to justice.

Harrison acquired the support of the Shitenian government to wage war
on Howards. The Shitenian government offered its formidable force to join
Harrison to put Toyama to justice. Andsuke got the support of some of the
generals to tackle Howards. General Harrison ordered Jervacio Lim back
on Ezarra to alarm the displaced Chao soldiers that they will be fighting
against Howards. Harrison told the Shitenian government that it will be

both an Ezarran-Shitenian affair. He cried long live for nationalism!

Intelligence officers informed Howards that both Andsuke and Harrison
turned against him. One intelligent officer told him that Asset Chao
planned to embargo the Ezarran economy from within. Another informer
told him that the former Chao soldiers are prepared to avenge their old
masters. Howards told the officers that both Andsuke and Harrison were

too ungrateful that they will suffer fates worse than hell.
Diego Garcia and Francisco Garcia offered their service to Howards to
combat the threats of General Harrison. Both father and son were both
accomplished ace pilots. Fidelito Lacson enlisted himself to serve Howards
in the upcoming war. He replaced General Toyama telling Howards that his
war will be a war for righteousness.

Ezarran survey showed the plummeting popularity of Howards. The factors

were his lack of care to the national consciousness in favour of
immigrants. His reluctance to control the increasing number of
immigrants, his lack of nationalism, his infidelity to his queen in favour of
Neferea, his disagreements with his most important generals, stealing
trillions of gold amidst of Ezarran prosperity, and his drunkness in power
disregarding both ethical temporal and divine authority. Howards read the
newspaper and concluded that the war with General Harrison must be a

must win for him.

In Pacifica, high above Nefereas tower, Bersamina saw Ezarran Shitenian
forces laying siege on Protopolis. Bersamina informed Howards that
enemy units were headed to Ezarra. Howards sent numerous forces to
protect Pacifica. Bersamina told Neferea to stay home. He will make it

clear when its safe enough for her to go back to Amenopolis.

Andsuke Toyama and his forces liberated Protopolis from Rivera control.
The Rivera brothers were drove back to Ezarra. General Harrison and
Toyama marched on to Ezarra destroying Ezarran forces that tried to fight
them off. General Harrison informed Andsuke that he and his troops will

separate with him as for now for a surprise attack on the heart of Ezarra.
With Shitenian artilleries, Andsuke and his troops fired missiles destroying
a great part of Ezarras economic districts. Harrisons troops cleared the
path giving Protopolian bombers chance to unleash chaos on Ezarra. They

also unleashed nerve gas which destabilized the nation further.

Asset Chao ordered his troops to stand by and prepare for Howards and
his forces. Ezarra was plagued again by former Chao troops terrorizing the
citizens. Raphael Howards devised a strategy making short work of them.
Fidelito Lacsons elite force managed to pacify the city. Howards ordered
his troops to clear the city first of the Chao troops and they will make a
move to make Asset eat his words. Pericles Alexander killed many of the

Chao soldiers rendering incapable of doing further harm in Ezarra.

Fidelito ordered his gunners to fire the approaching Protopolian bombers.
With the bombers exploding, they managed to take huge chunks of enemy
soldiers with them. Ezarran jets destroyed some Shitenian fighting
machines. The jets also destroyed several Protopolian units taking control
of the economic city. Medics were called to tend the nerve gas victims.

Howards ordered large number of tanks to secure the commercial district.

The tanks destroyed battalions of Protopolian forces. The Rivera brothers
like true gods of war avenged their retreat by cutting down more
Protopolian troops. They also managed to destroy larger Shitenian

machines.
Shitenian mechanical machines were intercepted by Ezarran jets they
engaged themselves with heavy fighting above Ezarra. Ezarran jets tried

harder obtaining a close victory over the Shitenian machines.

Raphael Howards gunned down more Chao troops boasting he is the
master when comes dealing with the Chao affairs. Fidelito Lacson assisted
by Pericles Alexander cleared most of Ezarra from invaders. Howards used
his Grandmaster sword unleashing huge energies destroying huge number
of enemy forces. Howards ordered his troops to launch high radius

missiles to fend off the much superior forces of the enemy.

Teklamdawpaya conquered Tendoh after heavy fighting. Two months later,
Teklamdawpaya and his troops overthrew the weak main Tiburon
government. Teklamdawpaya became the new leader of Tiburon Islands

becoming contented for now.

Immediately after his ascension, envoys of General Harrison made secret
alliance with Teklamdawpaya to help them fight Howards and become

hostile on a Howards ruled Ezarra.

Alia personally went to Kathes palace despite Rayns objection. Alia
apologized to Kathe and her family on what happened between their
fathers. Kathe understood Alia telling her that she will always be friends
with Rayn and Alia with both of them have nothing to do on the current
situation. Alia asked Harumi to kill them for they are the children of her
husbands enemy. Instead, Harumi lovingly told the Harrison children they
were like her own children too that they got nothing to do with the battle
between their fathers. Harumi ordered everyone to seek refuge

underground until the war is over.

Cardinal Parisee stared at the statue of Absolute told his fellow priests that
the heaven is ready to punish Howards after being drunk for power for a

very long time.

Howards and his troops easily captured Asset Chao and his troops
recapturing the maritime city. Asset Chao kneeled before Howards telling

him that he was so sorry. A troop of Howards asked him to kill Asset but
Howards commended Asset of his humility that he loves people kneeling

down to him.
Howards and his troops encountered Shitenian force but managed to put
them at bay. They advanced to the edge of the city catching up with the

Rivera brothers for a more even battle.

Raphael Howards and his troops cleared Ezarra of treacherous soldiers.
Pericles Alexander sent the enemy forces running confused with their lives

barely intact. Fidelito Lacson nailed the coffin of an enemy invasion.

General Harrisons forces attacked the immigrant communities in the
Tondonian area. Quezon ordered his troops to defeat Harrisons forces.
General Harrisons troops were on the brink of defeat. Tiburon forces
assisted Harrisons forces capturing the immigrant communities for the
time being. Harrison ordered his troops to help Teklamdawpaya conquer
Sonja, Saga, and Wen to finally become the undisputed leader of Tiburon

Islands.
After uniting Tiburon Islands, Teklamdawpaya hypocritically pretended to

be neutral along with Amenopolis.

Ezarran aerial forces assisted Quezons navy in defeating Harrisons forces
in the Tondonian continent. Tondonian mobs rushed to inflict a devastating
defeat to Harrisons forces but they were destroyed after Harrisons aerial
strikes carpet bombed them. Quezons navy countered attack on the
invaders but was not enough. Francisco Garcia led a successful air battle
against Harrisons aerial force forcing them to retreat. They finished
Harrisons naval attacks leaving the Tiburon units leaving the Tondonian

area.
Tong Lun used his occult attack destroying many enemy forces outside
Ezarra. Howards led his troops destroying huge number of Harrisons
troops. Rivera brothers did their share defeating a coalition of Shitenian

and Protopolian forces.

Pericles Alexander rushed into General Harrisons side killing many of his
soldiers. Harrison ordered his troops to gun down the agile commander
but Pericles phalanx with a combination of gunners gave Harrison and his
forces trouble.

Fidelito Lacson with his few but elite units scored many defeats of a
combination of Harrison Shitenian armies. Raphael Howards successfully

stopped waves of enemies.

Pericles Alexander and his troops where outnumbered by Harrisons units.
He remained determined cutting off numerous enemy forces catching a

glimpse of General Harrison on the horizon.

General Harrison told Alexander that through the years he tried to hide his
true loyalty of the Chao leaders and now is time to show his true color.
Harrison assured Alexander that by joining him he will have his confidence
restored with his dignity returned. Alexander replied to Harrison that
Howards had been nice to him. He owed him his life his future. Alexander
challenged Harrison for a duel but Harrison responded that it was too late

for him to do so.

Raphael Howards cleared Ezarra of invaders at its backyard. Ezarran tanks
treaded the mountain tops but mysteriously disappeared. Go Sobas

forces defeated many Shitenian forces loitering around the city.

Baron Comte and his gangs defeated the last of Harrisons troops in
Tondonia looting their weapons for future use. Boss Smeksy led an

ambush squad killing more Ezarran intruders.

Baron Comte bribed some of Quezons officials to get more from whats
left from Harrisons troops. The time of war for Baron Comte is the

greatest time for an opportunity of a lifetime.

Despite his troops in the brink of defeat, Pericles Alexander continued to
cut his way to get a chance to fight Harrison. Harrisons forces eventually
killed Pericles Alexander after a hard fight. Harrison saluted the fallen
Ezarran general that finally he got the glory he deserved. Harrison blamed
Howards on Alexanders death. Alexanders death ironically made Harrison
more ambitious and motivated to defeat Howards and give Ezarra a new

sense of nationalism.
Howards forces were defeated by a huge number of Harrisons forces
above the mountains of Ezarra. Harrisons land forces along with
reinforcements coming from Protopolis and Shitenia captured Pacifica.

They marched on to the less guarded parts of Ezarra for a surprise attack.
Harrisons forces from the mountains defeated much of Howards land
forces. The mountain units acted as a diversion to serve as front on

Harrisons planned capture of Ezarra. Harrison ordered numerous

multinational air strikes that gripped Ezarra to the point of surrendering.

Howards and his generals were left for themselves to defend the country.
Harrisons forces marched towards Ezarra defeating more valiant Ezarran

soldiers defending the city.

Many of Harrisons forces were obliterated by umbrella like storm
generators after they walked through the Northern part of the City.

Shitenian forces crippled the fabled defensive systems.

Ezarran forces retaliated but Harrisons forces were too much for them.
Howards realized that Ezarra were surrounded by many of Harrisons
forces. General Harrison told Howards that originally he had no plans of
trying to go against him if only he will prioritize Ezarran rights over the

immigrants.
Howards told Harrison that immigrants made Ezarra a prosperous society.
He asked Harrison that why he failed of thinking to simply co-exist with
the immigrants. Harrison replied that many people went hungry due to the
ambitious nature of the immigrants. He added that they were a soft

version of colonial slavery.

Howards acted tough but Harrison told Howards that his forces are all over
in Ezarra and one wrong move could spell the end of Ezarra. Augustus
Rivera asked Howards to instead surrender than having a barbaric man

destroy everything all they worked hard for.

Due to being overwhelmed by Harrisons forces and their threat to destroy
Ezarra, Howards reluctantly surrendered and told Harrison that he is right.
Harrison responded that he didnt have a plan to overthrow him but only
to heed on his advices for a better tomorrow. Harrison made it sure that
Howards rating will again increase after bowing down to nationalistic

ideals.
General Harrison thanked his Protopolian and Shitenian allies for helping
him and believed in him to have a voice in Ezarra. Harrison prepared

himself to attend Howards speech.

Howards went to the palace saw Rayn and Alia hiding with his wife. He
told Rayn and Alia that the war is over and its time for them to go home.

Raphael Howards told Alia that palace life suited her well.
Howards told the people in his speech that Ezarra has focused more on
how to increase wealth but failed to teach nationalism to the people. He

realized that nationalism in times of war unites all people. Without

nationalism, people will have no direction but themselves. Howards
addressed the immigration issue telling the people that due to the kind
advices gave by General Harrison which he mistakenly side lined.
Immigration must be controlled for now to give way for the citizens of
Ezarra. He decided to make General Harrison his chief enforcer when
comes in Ezarran nationalistic ideals. Howards apologized to the people by
the unnecessary war with General Harrison for his failure to address his
peoples concerns. He told the people that he will make amends to make

Ezarra a better place.

Norberto Cham commended Howards that what he did will secure his
legacy as among the greatest leaders of all time. Howards assigned
General Harrison to get rid of immigrants back in Tondonia. He told him
that Ezarra will just accept minimal immigrants due to hard times with the
Ezarran economy unable to sustain them all. General Harrison surprised
asked Howards if he really meant it. Howards exclamatory responded that
an order is an order. Nationalism unites people in war promoting a sense

of community and solidarity for the greater good.

General Harrison and a number of troops went to the outskirts of
Tondonia seeing immigrant communities crowding the continent. He told
one of their community leaders that Ezarra will not accept immigrants due
to the hard times the nation is currently facing. The immigrant leader
responded that Howards became a selfish man and Ezarra becoming a
selfish nation. Jervacio told the leader to calm down and settle to other
richer nations instead. The immigrants mocked Howards hypocrisy and
told Harrison and his troops that desperate times comes desperate
measures. The immigrants expressed their intention of forcing the gates

of Ezarra open for a better future.

General Harrison angrily told the immigrants that they shouldnt put their
lives on the line for the sake of Ezarra. They should instead promote
nationalism among themselves building great nations. With the angry
immigrants cannot be contained, one of them told Harrison that he
remembered his troops who destroyed the immigrant communities killing

many of the immigrants days ago. General Harrison was clearly provoked

and ordered his men to drive the immigrants out.

General Harrison was surprised that his troops didnt follow his orders. In
anger, he rushed to the angry mob himself. Jervacio wanted to help his
commander but was restricted by his fellow soldiers. General Harrison
managed to kill some of the angry mobs. The mob eventually
overwhelmed and stabbed him multiple times to his death. The mob

forced the petrified Ezarran armies into retreat.

News of Harrisons death eventually reached the whole world. Ferdinand
Quezon told the media that even though he didnt condone immigrants
killing Harrison, he wasnt surprised that desperate people will surely
respond in a barbarous way when provoked. Neferea felt uncomfortable
for days hearing the death of a great general. Howards coldly received the
news. Judith Harrison cradled her children felt hopeless. She realized that
Ezarran soldiers will be after her family. With a help of a friend, she

secretly left Ezarra with Rayn and Alia.

Andsuke Toyama in Shitenia felt sorry for Harrison and his family. He

realized Howards became more of a monster than a leader.

Teklamdawpaya started to court Neferea. The two world leaders signed a

new treaty for mutual economic protection and cooperation.

Judith Harrison along with Rayn and Alia settled temporarily at Nefereas
household. A month later Judith Harrison died of depression. After her
funeral, Alia was adopted by Neferea to be her daughter. She became an
Amenopolian princess educated in Amenopolian ways. Rayn believed that
following Harrisons death, Howards wanted to purge any male relatives of
Harrison in fear he will rise against him. He went to exile ending up
adopted by an immigrant couple in Tondonia. Alia looked for Rayn but she

was not allowed to go outside due to security reasons.

Howards apologized to the immigrants of his mistakes. Peter Jr. asked
Howards to accept Christ but rejected Him because people become more
docile and weak after becoming a Christian. Howards told Peter Jr. to stop

preaching Christianity or he will be tried with treason.

Howards with Raphael Howards blatantly cursed Absolute. During a
celebration of Howards years in power, they launched several nuclear like
weapons into the vastness of space insulting Absolute and his world.

Howards even joked that one of the missiles awakened one of the citizens

in heaven proving that heaven is not safe place to live.

Through the passing years, Howards focused his reign on rebuilding Ezarra

reeling from the aftermath of his war with General Harrison.

Even though Rayn was adopted by an immigrant couple, he distanced
himself living life like a lone exile. The death of his Ezarran parents
continued to haunt him and will do so until he avenge them from Howards.
Rayn believed that one day his destiny will intertwine with Howards. He
went to the wilderness trained both his mind and body. He continued
hardening the very core of his being to be able to withstand everything

the evil Ezarran government could throw upon him.

Rayns life became a downward spiral. While cruising around immigrant
communities without the knowledge of his foster parents, he always
picked fights with immigrant youth. He joined gangs, befriending violent
youths, inflicting chaos on immigrant neighbourhood, and involved in
violent fights leaving him a broken man. He was once sent to a
correctional facility due to seriously harming those who bullied him. His
immigrant parents saved him from further harm, showing him the love
and encouragement he need. Rayn toned down when he saw immigrants
tending to each other during difficult times. The love that his new parents

gave him had a positive impact on him.

Even though Rayn still involved in fights, he befriended some immigrants
saving the ones who were oppressed. He further mellowed when he saw
his immigrant neighbours tending to each other during hard times. The
genuine patience and kindness his foster parents showed him greatly

contributed to the improvement of his outlook towards immigrants.

With the support of the people around him, though he occasionally live a
solitary life, Rayn continued his education while focusing himself more on
improving himself for a future crossroads with the ones responsible.
During summer classes, he made friends with Kathe. Quickly they became
the best of friends. Rayn had always protected Kathe from bullies even he

sometimes got badly beaten giving shame to his parents.

An unassuming boy named Jay Philips Reno got his communitys attention
through his interest in science. He made his ambition clear that when he

grew up, he wanted to study more about science to help as many lives as

possible.
Howards made his attention to marry Neferea and to make her queen of
Ezarra at the front of many Ezarrans. Despite Neferea was badly received,
Howards asked the people to respect her and his decision to marry her.
Howards held a meeting with his generals to conquer Shitenia once and

for all.
Howards invited many Ezarran prominent personalities to attend his
banquet before he leaves for Shitenia. During the banquet, when Howards
planned to check the basement, one of the guests signalled his

companions to follow Howards.

When Howards was about to return to the banquet, he was cornered by
several men. Howards told them to let him pass. One of the guests uttered
Long Live Emperor Howards. Seemed insulted with the words getting to
his nerves, Howards asked the men again to let his pass in an agitated
way. One of the men shot Howards. Howards punched the guy for ruining
his day. The other men shot Howards several times staggering him.
Howards got up tried to overpower them but he was repeatedly stabbed.
The men pinned Howards to the ground but Howards got better of them.
The guests threw themselves stabbing Howards even more on all angles

until he slumped to the ground with barrels of wine fell down on him.
One familiar figure entered the cellar. Howards recognized him as
Norberto Cham. When Howards is about to curse him for betrayal, Cham
removed his masked revealing himself as Chaos Lionheart. Chaos
Lionheart shot Howards to the head. He and his men poured gasoline on
Howards setting him aflame. Howards screamed with agony with

Lionheart trying to put him down one more time.

Before leaving, Lionheart activated the Terminus triggering heart attack on

Howards while he burns in agony.

Chaos Lionheart and the perpetrators quickly left the banquet. Harumi and
Howards friends rushed to save him. They brought Howards to an
undisclosed location. This will be the last time Harumi will be seen in

public until the coronation of Kathe due to mysterious circumstances.

News about the alleged assassination of Howards spread like wildfire
across the world. The immigrants felt that they will face an uncertain

future filled with darkness. Teklamdawpaya remarked that as expected

Howards will fall from grace. Ferdinand Quezon blankly stared on the
television. Neferea embraced Agotamun telling her that due to safety
reasons she might not see her father. Neferea touched by what happened
and wept. She told Agotamun that she hoped for the best for her father.

ASCENSION:

Howards started the day checking his appearance on the mirror. He

called himself the August Eternal Emperor of all Ezarra. He arranged his

documents for a new start.

Howards made a speech that Noberto Cham was behind on last nights
attempt on his life. He vowed that everyone in the Chao lineage will be

eliminated from the face of existence.

Howards ordered his men to arrest everyone related to the Chao family
from aristocrats to the employees. Howards men arrested numerous
people connected to the former leaders. Howards televised their
execution shown to all parts of the globe to remind people not to

undermine Ezarran superiority.

Teklamdawpayas empire was in trouble. The Islands of Sonja, Saga, and
Wen started to fight with each other. At times, they fought with

Teklamdawpayas men for autonomy.

Bersamina told Neferea to see the news about Howards. He remarked
that the longer Howards in power, the more he is vindictive and

paranoid he became.
Howards forced Parisee and his priests to support his absolute authority

over all in Ezarra and beyond.

Howards men tracked down the whereabouts of Rita Chao and her
companions. After defying Howards, Rita and her companions were

summarily executed for plotting against the Ezarran government.

Norberto Cham told Howards that Ezarra was stupid enough to
accommodate too many people without proper screening of their real
motivations. Cham mocked Howards that Ezarra is too vulnerable in
housing people who will turn against him without thinking twice.

Howards ordered his man to get Norberto Cham who is also known as

Chaos Lionheart in disguise.

Chaos Lionheart occupied Alhambra to mobilize his forces to prepare for

a showdown against Howards and his forces.

Howards prepared his men attacking Lionhearts navy near Alhambra.
Assisted by Diego Garcias air strikes, Howards forces made short work
of the Lionheart navy. Lionhearts troops ambushed many Ezarran
soldiers above the mountains but were obliterated after air strikes

ruthlessly bombed the Lionheart mountain forces.

Howards troops entered Alhambra engaged with Lionhearts moderate
forces. Fidelito Lacson and his men made short works of the infantry
units. Go Sobas men destroyed Lionhearts Shitenian troops. The Rivera
brothers slaughtered numerous escaping Chao soldiers. Shitenian

reinforcements arrived but were quickly destroyed by Ezarran troops.

Howards yelled that the Ezarran forces were too much for the enemy.
He wanted to give chance for the enemy commanders to defend their
honour. With the Grandmaster sword, Howards felt more than confident

that he will get even with Lionheart himself.

Howards saw many Chaos Lionhearts rushed towards him. He told his
men to back off that he will destroy Chaos Lionheart all by himself.
Howards ruthlessly destroyed all the Chaos Lionhearts rushing towards

him.
The real Chaos Lionheart surprised Howards. Both commanders fought a
deadly fight. Chaos Lionheart at times managed to get Howards but
Howards reminded Lionheart what he did to him. Howards fought an
even more aggressive fight overwhelming Lionheart himself. Lionheart
told Howards that his spear will finally plunge him to hell. Howards
deflected the spear killing Lionheart on the spot. He obliterated his
corpse as a revenge for a cheap assassination attempt. Howards
acquired the Terminus from Lionhearts corpse to be used against his

political opponents in his next campaigns.

Shitenian forces took advantage of Howards confidence. Howards
countered them with a swing of his sword giving Ezarra a destructive

victory.
Rayn and his friends tracked down General Harrisons weapon being
stored in a gang leaders treasury room. With a bit of stealth along with

the support of his friends, he recovered his fathers weapon. Goons

caught Rayn getting the weapon. He and his friends let the goons chase
them. Rayn used his fathers weapon defeating the chasing goons. Rayn
and friends blitzed away at the cost of the lives of several gang

members.
News reached Andsuke about what happened to Howards. Andsuke
suspected that the current Howards might be a mere pretender to the
throne after all the damage control in Ezarra. Andsuke went to a
meeting with his fellow warlords to discuss for the next move in taking

over Ezarra.
The warlords of Shitenia told Andsuke that sources informed them that
the Howards who fought the Chao forces in Alhambra just shortly is
different from the Howards they knew for a very long time. The reports
confirmed Andsukes current analysis that Ezarra is in a vulnerable
state. Andsuke and his warlords further analysed the reports to make
the right move. Thickbeard heard what Andsuke is planning. He

returned back to Ezarra.

Raphael Howards knew the likes of Kathe will someday betray him. He
went to a laboratory to release Beach Ezarra who will be his secretary

throughout his reign.

Raphael Howards held a meeting with his commanders. He told them
that after Chaos Lionheart, Neferea will be next in his list. He gave his
generals the reason to hunt Neferea and her fellow down. First, Neferea
wanted to marry Howards just for his wealth taking advantage of his
sentimental memories of her. Second, Neferea insulted the Ezarrans by
using Howards to construct an ivory tower for her. Third, she mocked
the Ezarrans by wanting to be queen despite Harumi is the official
incumbent queen of Ezarra. Lastly, Raphael wanted to teach Neferea
that to be better off in life, she needs to work harder instead of doing

nothing but riding on powerful men.

Raphael Howards told his generals that they will be going to conquer

Amenopolis for Emperor Howards and Ezarra.

Teklamdawpaya and Neferea realized that the Ezarrans wanted their
heads. They felt that it is urgent that their nations must become one to
be sufficient enough to fight against Howards and his forces.

Teklamdawpaya and Neferea were married in a grand ceremony in

Amenopolis attended by prominent aristocrats. Nefereas aunt and
other relatives made peace with her telling her that they will stand with

her against the threat of Ezarra.

Raphael Howards accompanied by scientists checked on the biological
weapons which will be used on his next campaigns. He saw that the
virus cells multiply aggressively killing the host in a painful manner. He

called it the Walnut Virus.

Raphael Howards and his massive troops proceeded to the Tondonian

continent for a last stop before Amenopolis.

Teklamdawpayas unification of the Tiburon Islands became short lived

with some of the islands revolting for autonomy.

Raphael Howards went to Mactal City asked the assistance of Ferdinand
Quezon to conquer Amenopolis. Quezon replied Raphael that Howards
will never allow his troops to conquer Amenopolis. Raphael responded
that Neferea is responsible on what happened to his father and the
orders came from Howards himself. Ferdinand Quezon called Raphael a

liar with the latter ordering his forces to seize Mactal City.
Raphael Howards asked Ferdinand Quezon to stay quiet or else he
would be killed. He took control of Mactal City and advanced towards

the Gustavvi Mountain Ranges.

Rapahel Howards with a huge forces opened fire to the Gustavvi
Mountains alarming the titans who resided inside. The titans went out
attacking the Ezarran armies destroying a good number of them.
Despite their strength and size, the titans were defeated by the Ezarran
forces. Raphael ordered Hummer and Squad to destroy the remaining

titan defenders.
Raphael with his army advanced inside the Gustavvi Mountains blowing
everything on their path. A maverick titan named Anarchy supported
Raphael betrayed his titan brothers. The Ezarran forces destroyed more
titans until forcing their leader to surrender. Raphael and his forces
occupied the Gustavvi Mountains with Anarchy becoming one of his

generals.
Raphael Howards installed a new puppet titan leader named Mao to
stabilize the titan kingdom. He and Anarchy forced the titans to be
added to his already massive Ezarran forces. Anarchy ordered the

enslavement of the titans to build Ezarras public buildings and

infrastructures. Raphael Howards became one stop closer in conquering
the whole Ezarran planet after conquering Mactal City and Gustavvi

Mountains.
Raphael Howards was aware that General Harrison was the one who
destroyed Ezarras reputation on the immigrants. The immigrant
communities started to be disillusioned on his father and Ezarra.
Raphael ordered the titans to lay waste on any immigrants who
attempted to rise against him. With the brutality of the titans, Raphael

got the Tondonian continent.

Bersamina informed Neferea that Raphael Howards got the whole
Tondonian continent. He warned her that her kingdom might be next.
She and her family had a private meeting to prepare a possible
showdown against Ezarra. Bersamina told Neferea that Howards had an
insane mind and must be stopped. He admitted to Neferea that he still
loves her and will protect her no matter what the cost. The two shared a

kiss without Teklamdawpaya knowing it.

Weeks later, Raphael Howards and his forces advanced towards Tiburon
Islands to fight Teklamdawpaya who is the last obstacle before reaching
Amenopolis. Raphael realized that the islands of Sonja, Saga, and Wen
turned against Teklamdawpaya. Raphael Howards decided to use the

divide and conquer tactic against Teklamdawpaya and his forces.

Raphael Howards has his sources informed him that General Harrison
made a secret alliance with Teklamdawpaya. Raphael Howards and his
forces were attacked by the forces of Sonja Island. After a difficult fight,
Raphael Howards told the Sonja Islanders that he came to help them to

overthrow Teklamdawpaya.
Raphael Howards with a coalition of Ezarrans, titans, and Sonja Islanders
attacked Wen Island. Raphael Howards and his forces didnt
immediately rush towards Wen but used Quezons navy devastating its
coastline. Teklamdawpayas forces rushed and destroyed much of the
Wen armies driving them into confusion. Raphael and his forces saved
Wens forces driving out Teklamdawpayas forces. Heavy battles
between Ezarran and Tiburon war machines officially put the islands
under the state of war.

Raphael and his new forces swiftly overwhelmed Saga Island. Raphael
Howards temporarily occupied Saga Island. He made a speech that soon
the Tiburon Islands will be free from Teklamdawpayas indulgent

government.
Bersamina and Nefereas relatives ordered his troops to assist
Teklamdawpaya. Teklamdawpaya, with Amenopolian reinforcements
rushed towards Raphael Howards. Raphael commanded his titans to
batter Teklamdawpayas men. Quezons navy stopped the Amenopolian
forces dead in their tracks. Hummer made his distinction by destroying
battalions of Tiburon soldiers. Anarchy unleashed a large explosion
destroying much of the attacking force. Squad impaled many Tiburon

enemies.
Ezarran airstrikes were called to clear the area off Tiburon forces. The
revolutionary islanders rushed to overwhelm Teklamdawpayas forces.
Ezarran aerial war machines bombed the islands of Bokusha giving way

for occupation.
Teklamdawpayas forces fought more intensely destroying much of the
Ezarran armies. Teklamdawpaya ordered his forces from Atari, Tendoh,
and Parsis to unite inflicting heavy blow on Howards forces.
Teklamdawpaya ordered his celestial arsenals dealing heavy damage on

Howards army.
The Ezarrans fought back forced Teklamdawpayas forces on a retreat.
The Ezarrans put down many meddling Amenopolian units. The Ezarrans
advanced towards Bokusha using the island as a stepping stone. The
Ezarrans advanced towards Parsis Island for another heavy fighting.
Quezons navy engaged a naval battle against Teklamdawpayas
celestial ships. Raphael Howards destroyed many enemy forces using
his Grandmaster sword. Hummer obliterated many Tiburon Amenopolian
troops. With his energy blasts, he destroyed many of Teklamdawpayas
celestial tanks. Anarchy rocked a huge explosion leading the defeat of

Teklamdawpayas forces in Parsis.

Temple towers fired celestial blasts killing many Ezarran troops. Ezarran
aerial planes bombed the defensive structures rendering the island
defenceless. The Ezarrans fought more Amenopolian unites but didnt
have hard time putting them down.

Raphael Howards ordered his planes to unleash bombs to destroy the

celestial ships guarding the remaining islands. The planes unleashed
energy blasts destroying much of Atari and Tendoh. Teklamdawpaya
decided to personally lead his army to battle to challenge Howards

himself.
Raphael Howards ordered Quezons navy to clear off any enemy
celestial ships that could jeopardize his forces. The Ezarrans proceeded
to Atari where they got stuck fighting more of Teklamdawpayas forces.
The heated battle commenced when the islanders mobbed the enemy
forces. Squad used his proficient fighting skills killing many Tiburon
troops. Raphael used the energy blasts of his weapon to destroy the
celestial arsenals heading towards his way. Hummer and Anarchy did a

share of their devastation of Tiburon forces.

Teklamdawpaya destroyed many Ezarran forces. Shang Long, his son
fought against Squad in a hand to hand combat defeating him. He also
killed many Ezarran forces. Teklamdawpayas celestial machines ran
over Ezarras tanks. Some of Teklamdawpayas troops shot down many
Ezarran planes. Teklamdawpayas celestial tanks have their own share

of bringing down large Ezarran war machines.

Raphael Howards saw Teklamdawpaya and his troops defeating many of
his men. Teklamdawpaya told Raphael that since the beginning he
already doubted his fathers capability to rule. Raphael Howards issued
a challenge to Teklamdawpaya. Raphaels gunners tried to protect him
but were easily cut down by Teklamdawpayas troops. Raphael Howards
activated his Terminus device hoping to assassinate Teklamdawpaya but
Teklamdawpaya shot Raphaels device destroying it. Teklamdawpaya

engaged Raphael Howards in a heated duel.

The two commanders fought with each other while their powerful
armies collided with each other. Raphael Howards clashed his weapon to
Teklamdawpaya. Teklamdawpaya fought like a war god giving Raphael a
hard time. Teklamdawpaya told Raphael that he will destroy anyone who
tries to conquer his hometown. Raphael aggressively fought
Teklamdawpaya forcing himself to overpower him. Teklamdawpaya
successfully parried everything Raphael can give him. Raphael used his
time stop to kill Teklamdawpaya for good but with Teklamdawpayas

cultivation, he started to beat Raphael with a variety of his martial skills.

Raphael went further unleashing barrage of energies with
Teklamdawpaya walking through it. The two commanders continued

bitterly clashing their weapons against each other.

The fight between the two commanders started to get too long getting
the ire of both sides due to its indecisiveness. Ezarran troops rushed to
assist Howards were stopped by Tiburon troops. Tiburon troops wanted
to kill Howards were eliminated by Ezarran troops. Raphael and
Teklamdawpaya unleashed everything they can give but failed to kill
each other. Both Ezarrans and Tiburon troops swarmed around the two

commanders separating them from each other.

Ezarran and Tiburon forces fought more intensely until both sides called
it a day. Teklamdawpaya told Raphael that they will face each other one
more time in a more decisive outcome. Teklamdawpaya and his forces
returned to Tiburon Island. Raphael cannot believe that he had a
stalemate against mere islanders despite having more superior forces.
Raphael tried to console himself by ordering his navy and his planes to
bomb Tendoh Island. He ordered his troops to lay siege on the island but

they were ended up defeated even enslaved by the Tendoh Islanders.

Raphael Howards decided to call it a day. He and his forces decided to
go back to the Tondonian continent to rest. Due to massive losses, he

and his forces might be forced back to Ezarra.

With the approval of the Shitenian administrative council signed by its
Emperor, Andsuke Toyama and his troops planned to attack Ezarra.
Accompanied by a fleet of Shitenian mechanical fighters, high
technological tanks, highly advanced jets, and a great number of battle
hardened troops, Andsuke is more than confident to finally bring Ezarra

on her knees.
Andsuke led his troops defeating Ezarran forces occupying Protopolis.
After liberating Protopolis once again, as a gratitude, Protopolian forces
joined Andsuke and his troops. Andsuke and his forces fired upon
Pacifica Island for intimidation. He and his forces have no intention of

conquering a lone island in a large lake.

Andsuke ordered his Shitenian fleets to attack Ezarra. Shitenian fleets
dropped many bombs damaging huge sections of Ezarran cities putting

the citizens in panic. Shitenian mechanical fighters attacked on all

corners of Ezarra bringing destruction and confusion to the nation and

its inhabitants.
Andsuke and his troops started attacking Alhambra City. Shitenian
mechanical fighters unleashed many missiles that devastated a great
part of Alhambra. Shitenian planes bombed more parts of the city to
demoralize its citizens. Andsuke and his troops defeated many Ezarran

troops that tried to fight them.

Without Howards, the future of Ezarra was on the hands of generals
such as Go Soba, Fidelito Lacson, Tong Lun, Rivera brothers, and
Thickbeard. They briefed each other on their game plan to stop their

former colleague.
Andsuke and his troops walked through Alhambra on their way to
Ezarra. Go Soba along with his mechanical machines defeated many
Shitenian samurais. They decimated huge number of cannon fooder
Protopolian troops. Francisco Garcia blew up many Shitenian planes.
Francis Howards, the brother of Raphael Howards, led an Ezarran air
squadron destroyed more Shitenian planes. The combined forces of
Garcia and Howards defeated Shitenian mechanical fighters that

terrorized the nation.

Fidelito Lacson ordered his elite forces to engage with Shitenian
samurais. His elite forces successfully brought down as many Shitenian
samurai as possible. Go Soba and troops assisted them bringing down
the heavier Shitenian arsenals. Ezarran soldiers helped their
commanders defeat Shitenian forces that threatened the whole nation.
They even looted the mechanical fighters in turned used them against

the Shitenians.
Tong Lun used his supernatural mental powers to devour many enemy
forces. Andsuke and his troops encountered Thickbeard and his men.
Both commanders let their forces fought against each other. Andsuke
and Thickbeard locked themselves in a duel. After an intense fight,
Andsuke defeated Thickbeard scarring his face. Andsuke pointed his
sword on Thickbeard. When he was about to kill him, a stunned
Thickbeard called his men to destroy Andsuke and his men. Andsuke

and his troops killed the opposing force leaving Thickbeard alone and in

shame. Thickbeard cried out that he is not over for Andsuke Toyama.
Shitenian reinforcements arrived in a unique way. Shitenian technology
allowed their powerful forces to teleport into the heart of Ezarra to strike
fear into the hearts of their enemies. Waves of Shitenian arsenals
teleported into Ezarra heavily attacked all parts of the nation. Andsuke

Toyama and his troops rushed into the doorsteps of Ezarra.

The Ezarran generals thought nothing more than to defend their nation
from total destruction. Go Soba and his forces tried their best destroying
every wave of Shitenian machines that tried to destroy Ezarra. Tong Lun
and his mystics combined powers lay waste on the newly teleported
Shitenian forces. Go Soba used his destructive cannon to put down
many Shitenian robot fighters. Fidelito Lacson and his troops shot down
more Shitenian samurais. Thickbeard gathered his will ordered his
gunners to shoot down Shitenian and Protopolian troops. Thickbeard

used his long sword hacking many Shitenian forces.

Francis Howards leading other Ezarran air fighters enjoyed shooting
down Shitenian planes. Francisco Garcia and company managed to
bring down the larger Shitenian mechanical fighters. Beside the
generals and their men, several Ezarran defences helped purge every

Shitenian forces that teleported into every parts of the nation.

The whole Ezarran military force continued defending their nation until
the Shitenian reinforcements stopped. Ezarran military troops rushed
towards Andsuke Toyama and his men with Thickbeard throwing his long
sword only to miss him. Despite huge destruction in Ezarra, the Ezarrans
won a close victory over the Shitenians trying to take advantage of the
Ezarran situation. Andsuke Toyama went back to Shitenia empty handed
vowing to fight the Ezarrans again in the future for the glory of the

Shitenian nation.
Andsuke Toyama was scolded by the other warlords after he failed to
completely defeat Ezarra. The warlords told Andsuke that a stalemate
meant a loss already, much worse Howards is not even leading the
army. Andsuke promised his colleagues that he will defeat the Ezarrans
the next time around. He bowed and apologized to the Emperor asking
him to give him another chance to prove himself worthy in defeating the

Ezarrans. The Emperor agreed to give him one last chance to prove his
competence in dealing with the Ezarrans. The Emperor told him to
either to face resignation out of the Shitenian nation or to commit

suicide should he fails the next time around.

In Tiburon Island, a mysterious plague swept across the islands affecting
the population. The bodies of Ezarran soldiers and Ezarran slaves were
the alleged cause of the plague. The plague incubates on its host body
for three days. The symptoms are patients having nausea, flu,
weakness, vomiting, high grade fever, and notably lumps all over the
body with small lumps clustered around the main lumps. The plague is
concluded to be fatal with the patient dying a painful death. It already
killed a significant number of the population. A vaccine was reported to
be developing in Ezarran laboratories. King Teklamdawpaya was

affected by the plague days after he went home from the war.
Rayn Harrison along with his friends quietly killed many Ezarran soldiers
looting their weapons in preparation of his plan to fight Howards in the
future. He and his friends were considered as vigilantes killing

oppressive soldiers without due process of the law.

Raphael Howards and his troops planned to retreat back to Ezarra
planning to leave the Tondonian continent to his newly appointed
ministers. Suddenly, he and his troops heard the news that King
Teklamdawpaya died shortly of the plague epidemic that swept across
Tiburon Islands with his loved ones at his side. Raphael told his men that

the plan perfectly worked last resort.

King Teklamdawpayas funeral will be held near Tiburon palace attended
by prominent figures such as wife Queen Neferea, Princess Mother
Meleena, Alia, Agotamun, Prince Kheppre, Alvin Bersamina, Ferdinand
Quezon, George Mactal, Gustavvi leader Mao, Shitenian envoys Akira
Yasuda and Norio Fukuda, and Teklamdawpayas children, Shang Long
and Dewi Deanne Kalanya. Raphael Howards will also attend the funeral
of the great king to represent Emperor Emmanuel Howards. During the
funeral, there will be heavy gun salutes, orchestra music, and a
celebration of the late kings life. Raphael Howards will make a speech
to commend the excellence of the departed king. In the end of the

service there would be fireworks to symbolize the souls entrance to the

boundless heaven.
In the funeral service, Raphael Howards made a speech commending
Teklamdawpaya of being a great leader, a great warrior and a great
unifier. He highlighted the best quality of the late king of being able to
hold off against the more superior Ezarran forces despite being small in
number. Raphael told Neferea that she is so lucky to have married a
great king like Teklamdawpaya. Raphael Howards looked at Deanne as a

means to consolidate his control over Tiburon Islands.

The death of Teklamdawpaya brought the whole islands brought the
islands into chaos. The epidemic continued without a force to stabilize
the whole archipelago. Raphael Howards sought the alliance of the
Tiburon royal household promising them to fix the whole islands.
Raphael immediately took control of the islands taking Deanne as his
wife. Shang Long initially disagreed but submitted to the Ezarran

government.
Raphael Howards promised the Tiburon people that vaccines from
Ezarra were on their way to get rid of the islands from the plague.
Raphael went to Amenopolis to visit his sister and also to check on the

house of Neferea.
Raphael with a handful of men arrived at Amenopolis telling the guards
that he meant peace. He even told them that he wanted to sign a new

agreement that will strengthen the relation of both countries.

Raphael went to where Neferea is staying. Neferea asked about his
father. Raphael replied that Howards is busy rebuilding Ezarra after
series of instabilities. Raphael directly told Neferea that she became
wealthy as the years gone by. He subtly told her that her wealth
increased exponentially without working hard for it. Neferea started to
get agitated and nagged the younger Howards. Raphael directly told her
that he will be different from his father who at times is stupid in letting a
gold digger affect his performance as a leader. Raphael ticked off

disregarding his parents for falling trap to the Amenopolian queen.

Neferea slapped Raphael yelling him that his parents are great leaders.
She told Raphael that he dont know her enough to judge like that. She
added that she felt Howards tears and agony to make Ezarra a better

place. Raphael jabbed at her telling her that because of her, his parents
and his family are dysfunctional. Neferea replied Raphael subtly about
having wrong sense of priorities. Neferea made Raphael eat his words
that she was behind the reason for Howards excellence. Without her,
there would be no Ezarra and Raphael will not enjoy the current comfort

he is currently enjoying.
Raphael gripped Neferea pinning her to the walls asking her if she is
that so delicious that she is like honey not only for his father but also for
the rest of her men. Neferea spit on Raphael telling him that Howards
sired a devil. Raphael replied her that he wanted to taste a woman
whom men are willing to die for. He kissed Neferea groped on some
parts of her body. Raphael commented that Neferea is indeed delicious.
Neferea avenged her honor by kicking Raphael below. She started to
sob silently on her couch. Raphael told her to call the guards to arrest
him. He threw a folder containing a renewed alliance treaty on Neferea
telling her that the signature of a delicious gold digger is only needed to

make it effective.
Raphael went out the room. He was surrounded by palace guards to
arrest him. Neferea told the guards to let him go. Raphael saw his sister
asked her to go back with him in Ezarra. Agotamun replied him that she
felt more at home in Amenopolis with Neferea treating her more like a
real daughter than her mother. She told her brother that he knew that
like him, she was not a child of a loveless couple. Agotamun further told
him that she remained bitter with Kathe. She expressed her desire to

die for the country which she considered as home.

Raphael saw Alia in a princess attire peeking at him from a window.
Raphael stared at her with a lustful look with his expressions of being
certain that he will soon get her to be his wife. Raphael stared at his
fathers statue. He mentioned that he can destroy Amenopolis at any
time since it is nearer to Ezarra. However, he felt so embarrassed for his
father that he would be destroying a country so soon which Ezarra has a

close sibling relation with.

Raphael was stopped by Bersamina. Bersamina told him that he wanted
to punch Howards face after what he did to Neferea. He was eventually

allowed to leave. He looked at the magnificence of Amenopolis uttering

that he will save the best for last.

Nefereas family rushed to Neferea to check if she is okay. Neferea told
them they have nothing to worry about. She told them that its just a
rude son. Nefereas aunt saw the treaty on Nefereas lap. She read the
treaty and ended up tearing it to pieces. She told her niece that Raphael
will regret everything he did to her. She exclaimed that his
licentiousness is a heinous crime worse when committed to a queen of a

nation.
Shitenian envoys Akira Yasuo and Norio Fukuda approached Neferea to
talk about a close alliance with the Shitenian nation. Neferea told them
that Shitenia is one of the perfect nations in the world. It is blessed by
disciplined people, great climate, a productive nation blessed by the
abundance of goods and service. She told the envoys that she loved Mt.
Danichiyama. The envoys told her the threat of Ezarra is on overdrive
that they need her cooperation to fight for what is right. Thinking of
what happened to her due to Raphaels brazen immorality, disregarding
her friendship with Howards, she evilly grinned with a sign of officially

turning against Ezarra.

Months later, the islands of Tiburon were free from the epidemic that
haunted them. Young upcoming doctors such as the siblings Anna
Henson and Ace Henson became medical darlings of the Tiburon people.
Raphael Howards turned the Tiburon archipelago into a vibrant Ezarran
base. Raphael Howards and Deanne Kalanya became both king and

queen of the Tiburon Islands.

Shitenian warlords guaranteed Andsuke Toyama to supply him with
massive reinforcements to give him better chance not only to have his
revenge on Howards but also to conquer Ezarra. Andsuke Toyama led his

military troops to advance towards Ezarra.

Andsuke Toyama and his troops ascended the mountains to await the
perfect signal for the attack. The nation of Ezarra once again was
alarmed by Shitenian forces teleporting on all sides of the city. Ezarran
generals heightened Ezarran defences to defeat the Shitenian forces.

Shitenian forces of all kinds arrived in Ezarra to wreak destruction on

the nation. General Menander once again became one of the main

generals leading his cavalry forces to defeat the Shitenian samurais.

After being a warden of an Ezarran penitentiary for a long time, Dean
stepped out for action leading his brave men to cut down waves of
Shitenian troops. Fidelito Lacson and his troops destroyed many

Shitenian tanks.
Go Soba and his men defeated many mechanical beings. Tong Lun led
his fellow mystics on halting numerous Shitenian army units. Ezarra
unleashed its skyscraper scaled mechanical machines to stomp down
numerous Shitenian arsenals. Go Soba rallied his men to decimate the

Shitenian intruders.
Ezarran planes and Shitenian fleets engaged in a large battle on the
skies of Ezarra. Andsuke Toyama unleashed missiles that destroy a good
part of Ezarran districts. Andsuke rallied his forces swooping down on
Ezarra. Protopolian bombers detonated significant parts of the city

killing many people.

Thickbeard ruthlessly commanded his men to get Andsuke and his
troops. The two former colleagues armies engaged in a bloody battle
with massive losses on both sides. Andsukes missile units launched
more missiles that disorganized the Ezarran military. Ezarran defence
system shot down numerous newly teleported units. The reinforcements
continued until Ezarra successfully defended their cities demoralizing

the enemy forces.

Francis Howards and his troops destroyed many Shitenian planes. He
told his pilots to disable the following jet fighters to be used in the
future. Francisco Garcia assisted the younger son of Howards bombing

Andsukes forces above the mountains.

Shitenian commanders ordered more forces to teleport to Ezarra but
were defeated by the fierce Ezarran forces. Go Soba and his men
continued erasing the last of the invaders. General Menander assisted
Thickbeard to defeat the main invasion forces. Augustus Rivera and his
men hunted Protopolian soldiers like pigs. Dean and his men destroyed
more Shitenian units that came on their way.

Thickbeard and Andsuke engaged themselves hoping to be their

decisive match. Thickbeard fought more relentlessly stunning Andsuke
but again he lost to the veteran Shitenian general. Ezarran forces went
out of their country ready to destroy the main invasion forces. Shitenian

troops told Andsuke to retreat and fight another day.

The Ezarrans did what they have to do to overcome the tougher
Shitenians. The battle was a repeat of the previous encounter resulted
to their close victory. Andsukes troops were even destroyed by the

pursuing Ezarran army.

The Ezarrans felt that whats left of the Shitenian forces could be useful
in their future ventures to improve all aspects of their life. The victory of
the Ezarrans made it clear that Shitenian generals got it wrong in trying

to surprise Ezarra despite their more powerful units.

Andsuke and his men didnt return immediately to Shitenia. Shrugging
defeat and shame, Andsuke and his men went to the farthest corner to
regroup his men and wait for reinforcements to fight the Ezarrans once

again in a not so distant future.

Before going to sleep, Neferea had a heart to heart talk with Alia.
Neferea advised Alia that she should follow her heart carefully choose
the man she wanted to be with for the rest of her life. Neferea didnt
want Alia to follow what she had been through and instead, love the
man she really loved in the first place. Neferea wanted Alia to have a
good love life without regrets. Both mother and foster daughter hugged
each other tightly with Alia telling Neferea that she loved her very

much.
Rayn and his friends disguised themselves as Ezarran troops on their
way to Amenopolis. They separated from the main forces to support

Amenopolis in the upcoming battle.

Ezarran ships started firing cannons on Amenopolis. Explosions rocked
Amenopolis alerting the soldiers. Bersamina went to Neferea and told
her that she and her family must find a safe place to hide. Bersamina

and Prince Kheppre prepared themselves to defend Amenopolis.

Raphael Howards ordered Ezarran planes accompanied by Tiburon
celestial planes to bomb the city of Amenopolis. The whole citizen went

into panic. General Kamose of the Amenopolian army ordered tanks to

challenge the Ezarran fleet.

Raphael Howards, Anarchy, Squad and Hummer went into battle.
Raphael ordered Quezons navy to fire harder so Amenopolis would fall.
Raphael yelled that he is in Amenopolis to liberate the whole nation

from gold diggers.

Bersamina cut down many Ezarran troops that approached the city.
Solar tanks destroyed the advancing Ezarran tanks. Prince Kheppre
showed his archery skills to put down batallions of Ezarran forces. Rayn
and his friends dressed themselves as Amenopolian soldiers went to

battle defeating many Ezarran troops.

The might of the Ezarran armies have destroyed many Amenopolian
troops. Tiburon celestial missiles rained down on Amenopolis destroying
public buildings. Amenopolian commanders called their airforce to hold

off against the invaders.

Bersamina relied on his fighting skills to keep off the Ezarran forces.
General Kamose commanded his war chariots to disorganize the enemy
forces. Hummer started blasting off the Amenopolian soldiers. Anarchy
punched the ground unleashing shockwaves that killed many
Amenopolian soldiers. Anarchy created a bigger explosion killing more
Amenopolian units. Raphael Howards walked through numerous Ezarran

forces annihilating them with his Grandmaster weapon.

Ezarran and Quezons navies unleashed torrents of missile destroying
great part of Amenopolis. Amenopolian jets sunk some Ezarran ships.
Amenopolian submarines destroyed much more of Quezons navy.

Titans smashed the Amenopolian armies.

Prince Kheppre defeated many titans. Squad tracked down the prince
and engaged him with a melee fight. Prince Kheppre eluded his sharp
spikes blasted Squad with his solar powered arrow. Prince Kheppre used

his gladius to impale Squad leaving him dead for now.

Hummer challenged Bersamina into a fight. Hummer fiercely swung his
hummer unleashing explosive energies killing many of Bersaminas
men. Bersamina told Hummer that he had seen many of these when he
was a beginner. Bersamina and Hummer clashed their weapons against
each other. Bersamina exploited the weak points of Hummer with

Hummer hitting him with powerful swings. Hummer unleashed more

energies seemingly putting Bersamina into trouble. He even disarmed
Bersamina rendering him at his mercy. Bersamina grabbed his
secondary weapon slashed Hummer and locked him in submission

making him unconscious.

Amenopolian soldiers in chariots fiercely fought the Ezarrans despite
falling short. Amenopolian jets helped the soldiers clear out the island of
Ezarran troops. Amenopolian tanks unleashed solar energies but were

destroyed by the more powerful Ezarran tanks.

A large Ezarran mechanical fighter smashed the Amenopolian forces.
Prince Kheppre attempted to fight the giant but withdrew. Prince
Kheppre eventually landed a fight with Raphael Howards himself. Rayn
and his friends put down more Ezarran units. He and his friends
successfully paralyzed the mechanical giant with Amenopolians

mobbing the robot to its destruction.

Anarchy grabbed Bersamina and attempted to kill him. Amenopolian
soldiers shot Anarchy to destroy him freeing Bersamina. Anarchy and
Bersamina locked each other into a fight. Anarchy used his fists to try
hitting Bersamina clean. He managed to score some blows with
Bersamina at times getting better off him. Anarchy unleashed an
uppercut hitting Bersamina with him being dragged into the ground due

to sheer forces.
Bersamina decided to retreat from Anarchy. However, Anarchy
continuously pursued him like a hunter hunting a helpless prey.
Bersamina found an Ezarran motorcycle. He rode the bike continuously
shot Anarchy but to no avail. Amenopolian forces went to Bersaminas
rescue but shrugged off by Anarchy. Bersamina used that opportunity to
drive towards Anarchy ramming him into the city walls until
unconscious. Anarchy sprung to life but the spikes from Bersaminas
bike proved to be too much. To be sure Bersamina stabbed Anarchy with
an Amenopolian royal spear. He ordered his men to shoot down Anarchy

multiple times.
Bersamina went on to defeat more titan forces. Rayn also killed many
Ezarran forces telling the soldiers that he will dedicate the victory to
General Harrison. Agotamun unable to contain herself got a sniper rifle

to kill as many Ezarran forces from the comfort of her palace. One
soldier noticed her and threw a burning spear at the palace balcony.
Although Agotamun managed to survive, the palace is set on fire. She
ordered the rest of the royal household to evacuate and call the fire

brigade.
The skies of Amenopolis were filled by both Ezarran and Amenopolian
battle fleets destroying each other locked in a decisive showdown for
the preservation of their states. Civilization Islands oasis was filled with

the bloods of the soldiers of both sides.

Anarchy managed to get up and looked for Bersamina. Bersamina went
inside a tank defeating many Ezarran soldiers. He blew up a number of
Ezarran tanks as well. Anarchy tracked down Bersamina lifting up his
tank. The Titans went to Bersamina to help Anarchy destroy him.
Amenopolian tanks blew up the titans. They opened fire making Anarchy
lose his grip of the tank where Bersamina is in. The reinforcements
didnt let Anarchy release huge explosions. They kept firing at him to
lose his momentum. Bersamina fired at Anarchy point blank range.
Chariot archers rained down many arrows on Anarchy. Bersamina told
his men that they will together put Anarchy in his place. They rammed
Anarchy to a nearby wall and unleashed one more shot putting him for

good.
Prince Kheppre is seen fighting Raphael Howards. Many soldiers wanted
to save him but were destroyed by the power of Raphaels weapon.
Prince Kheppre bravely fought Raphael despite being outclassed. He
was eventually put into the floor under Raphaels mercy. Raphael
revealed to him that he was the once who killed his brother and the late
Pharaoh Gibbeon Themistocles Soter. With rage in his eyes, he was
unable to do anything against Raphael. Raphael was about to strike

down the prince but Rayn came at his rescue.

Rayn fought Raphael Howards telling him that he is waiting for the
moment to bring Howards to justice. Raphael responded Rayn that he
will make him join his father with Alia crying blood in seeing his
mutilated corpse. Rayn told Raphael to shut up. He backed off Raphael
with multiple strikes. Raphael managed to fight back unleashed huge
powerful energies putting away Rayn from his sight. Rayn fought back

with the two getting the attention of the armies of both sides. Raphael
started to overpower Rayn but Rayn didnt let Raphael get the better of
him. The two fought further amidst the dangerous battlefield. In the
end, after too much power struggles, Raphael seemed to get better of
Rayn. Rayn retaliated unleashed multiple slashes that knocked down
Raphael. Raphael stabbed Rayn with his weapon. Rayn stabbed Raphael
in retaliation leaving both men on the ground. Unknown to both men,

Alia managed to watch them fight to the death.

Raphael Howards was horribly injured. He was carried by his men to
safety. He tried to get up but slumped to the ground. Even though the
Amenopolians bravely fought the invaders, they were losing on the
more superior Ezarrans. A miracle happened when Shitenian
reinforcements from nowhere turned the table destroying the Ezarran
forces. The Shitenian reinforcements continued raining down heavy
artilleries until driving out every one of the enemies out of the island.
Amenopolian soldiers fiercely rushed into the enemy forces driving them
out further into the sea. Shitenian forces bombed great parts of Tiburon

Islands to get rid of Ezarran establishments for real.

The defeat of Ezarra on the hands of the new coalition of Amenopolis
and Shitenia was a major blow for Howards and his forces. Howards and
his forces returned to Ezarra in shame and embarrassment bringing his
wife Deanne and newborn son Joshua. Shang Long became the interim
ruler of the Tiburon Islands. Raphael Howards considered his first defeat
on the hands of Rayn Harrison was the most embarrassing moment of
his life. Not only his ego for domination shattered, the more he would

lose the chance to win Alia.

For days, Rayn lived with Neferea and her family while his wounds were
being healed. Alia told Rayn that she missed him hoping that he could
stay with her to be safe. Neferea thanked Rayn of helping her troops
save Amenopolis from Ezarran invaders. Bersamina told Rayn that he
got his fathers genes of being equally ferocious in battle. Rayn would

eventually leave to go back to Tondonia.

Howards told his troops that he wouldnt go back to Ezarra until he
avenged himself from Rayn. He expressed his intention to go back to
Ezarra with Alia as well. He told his troops that he will stay until the

crisis has been solved. He contacted his underworld allies to do whats

necessary.
Rayn went back to Tondonia to go back to his parents. When he got
home, he didnt found his parents except a letter. The time he went out
to breathe some fresh air, Tondonian gangsters beaten him up and

abducted him to an unknown location.

For the next few days, Alia thought of Rayn too much. She cannot let
him get away from her mind. One day, she disguised herself and
followed Rayn to Tondonia. While driving around Tondonia she went to
Rayns house but found no one. The time she faced her back, she was
sprayed with sleeping gas. Multiple men carried her unconscious body,

abducting her to an unknown location.

In a cult temple, Rayn was beaten up multiple times. He heard
gangsters told him that he put his own life in danger just by simply
meddling on Howards affairs. Rayn replied them that a desperate loser
like Howards is willing to do anything on people whom he cannot win
against. Gangsters continued violently beating him black and bruised.
They used sharp objects to scar parts of Rayns body. They even put wet

electrical wirings on his chest violently grounding him.

The gangsters were unable to put Rayn down with their most gruesome
tortures. They shot his leg even his waist but Rayn didnt give up. One
of the gangsters kicked Rayn on the stomach to soften him up. The
gang leader told his men that Rayn wont be affected on any kinds of
torture. He whispered to Rayn that he got his girlfriend. Rayn saw Alia
tied up lying down on a table. The gang leader told Rayn that what his

men will be doing to the girl will make him never the same.
The gangsters started raping Alia repeatedly. Alias cries haunted the
deepest core of Rayns whole being. The rape of Alia is considered to be
the worse part of the series of tortures Rayn ever endured. Rayn
eventually heard Raphael Howards talking to the gangsters. Raphael
Howards approached Rayn grabbed his chin asked him how Alia
managed to choose an ugly guy like him who cannot give her a good
future. Raphael boasted that with Alia at his side, she would not only be
queen of Ezarra but also living a life richer than any monarchs. Rayn

replied that Raphael resorted to acts of the lowest levels because he

cannot get Alia nor he can beat him.

Raphael looked evilly at his beaten conqueror started raping Alia
violently. He did the unthinkable to the woman not only held dear to
Rayns heart and also violating her innocence. Raphael told Alia that
shes his and he will bring her to Ezarra to be his queen whether she

likes it or not. Raphael ordered his men to torture Rayn further.

While Raphael violated Alia, gangsters continued beating Rayn until he
was into unconsciousness. One gangster pulled a knife and peeled off
Rayns right hand pertaining that it is Rayns right hand which held the
sword stabbing Raphael Howards leading to the defeat of the Ezarrans.
Rayn was electrified with live wires again. An insane gangster used a
knife stabbing Rayns right eye. He pulled off Rayns eye and passed it

to his friends until one of them stepped the eye on the floor.
Raphael Howards told one gangster to remove Alia, dress her up and
prepare her departure to Ezarra. Rayn filled with rage with energies
brightening his right socket. When Raphael saw Rayn was about to
destroy everyone in the room, he pulled his pistol shot Rayn in the
chest. Raphael Howards told the gangsters to fix everything in the

room.
Boss Smeksy, Soliman Ramirez and their men went inside the torture
room fought with the gangsters killing most of them driving the
survivors away. Raphael Howards and the gang leader escaped in order

not to be found out.

Alia dressed up attempted to check on Rayn but due to the trauma she
went through she fainted. Boss Smeksy and Soliman Ramirez with the
help of their men brought the two Harrison siblings to the formers rest
house where they would be strictly observed by the best doctors

available.
In Boss Smeksys house, Alia was evaluated by a psychologist. The
psychologist told her she just went through extreme trauma. She
expanded it that she needs enough rest. When she was a little bit fine,
she needs to engage in activities to detach her mind from the horrifying
ideal. Kathe complained the psychologist that telling Alia to rest and be
active will not be enough. The psychologist replied her only with her

heart able to forgive and move on. Kathe thanked the psychologist told

her to leave. She tended on Alia while she recovers.

Rayn became better. She went to where Alia is staying and told her he is
sorry for what happened to her. Rayn started blaming Raphael of raping
Alia in front of Kathe. Alia told Rayn that Kathe is nice and she got
nothing to do with her brother. Kathe told Rayn that she is on their side

and she will turn against her relative if found out not in the right side.
Rayn asked Kathe what she is doing in such dangerous place. Kathe told
Rayn that she is one exchange student. She went to Tondonia to attend
additional courses to finish her financial management major. Boss
Smeksy with some men told Rayn that whoever did it will soon find
justice. He expressed his desire to help the Harrison siblings get the
justice they deserve in extrajudicial ways. Rayn attempted to ask but
Smeksy interrupted him that Tondonian justice is corrupt and will take

too long beyond a lifetime to find justice.

Choon told Rayn and Alia that she was so sorry on what happened. Rayn
thanked her service for protecting Kathe so as being there in times of
need. Rayn told Kathe that Tondonia is a dangerous place and she either
needs bodyguards or go back to Ezarra. Kathe replied in an uncertain
way but affirmative that she would be part of the team along with Rayn

and Alia.
Bersamina knelt down on Neferea telling her the bad news on what
happened on both Rayn and Alia. Neferea cried scolded her guards for
allowing Alia to go to an unsafe place only to end up violated which she

didnt deserve.
Jack Scizor and his members went back to his temple and saw they
were being desecrated by Tondonian gangsters. Upon entering the
sacrilege room, he saw evidence that a person was tortured there
adding the rotten body parts. Examining the table, he saw evidence of
reproductive fluids which angered him more. Jack Scizor cannot handle
his anger anymore. He screamed vowing to destroy anyone responsible.
He swore that he will get the souls of the people who defiled his beloved

home.
Kathe told Smeksy and company to take care of Rayn and Alia. She told
them she would be coming back to Ezarra due to security reasons. She

assured them that she will be back anytime when everything is ok.
Kathe bade Rayn and Alia goodbye. Rayns wounds were treated by Dr.
Anna Henson. Rayn and Alia stayed for a couple days more until they

were fully fit again.

With Rayn out of the picture, Raphael Howards and his troops
reoccupied Tiburon Islands to rebuild the Ezarran bases scattered all
over the islands. He attempted to conquer Amenopolis again but this
time succeeded subduing the oasis nation resulting with decisive
Ezarran victory. Due to the former close alliance with Amenopolis signed
by his father, Raphael Howards placed the whole house of Neferea in
house arrest. Nefereas aunt, older cousin, and other relatives were
guillotined in the plaza in front of many people reminding Raphael
Howards absolute subjugation of Amenopolis. Christopher Chong
attempted to revolt against him but surrendered after a minimal fight.
His surrender impressed Raphael Howards so much he was made a
puppet leader. He even became one of Howards Amenopolian eyes.
Raphael Howards assigned George Evans to be the Ezarran prime
minister of Amenopolis. Amenopolis is lucky to have a nice gentleman
such as Mr. Evans to have great respect to the vanquished house of

Neferea.
The Shitenians attempted to conquer Ezarra again. This time, Ezarran
generals led a full military force driving the Shitenians to the edge
dealing them with a devastating defeat obliterating their more superior
forces. Shitenian reinforcements never materialized demoralizing
Andsuke Toyama with the shame of defeat. He even nearly got killed in

the battle only to be delivered by a handful of loyal men.

Andsuke Toyama will face the embarrassment of defeat. Not only he
failed to conquer Ezarra, he failed to avenge the death of his father from
Howards. He lived a life of an outcast shut out from the world in a group
of islands north of Tondonia. He would be the founder of new Shitenia
village. He would live a life of a sad warlord until Rayn Ezarra convinced
him to join him to give him another chance to fight Howards and his

Ezarran government.
The victorious Ezarran fleet went further, activated their dimensional
portal accessing the hidden nation of Shitenia. The Ezarrans realized

that the Shitenian forces outnumbered them exponentially than they

ever thought. They fought the massive Shitenian fleets to a stalemate
with heavy casualties on the Ezarrans. The Ezarrans retreated and went
back to their nation. Raphael Howards have subdued the whole world
with the exception of the nation of Shitenia.

REBELLION:

Raphael Howards went back to Ezarra bringing his wife Deanne and son
Joshua. Instead of living together under one roof, he brought his wife and
son in another palace. Kathe confronted him about what happened to
Rayn and Alia. She told her brother that she cannot believe he can do
this to her friends not to mention they are General Harrisons children.
Raphael numbed Kathe of her mental faculties. She was taken to an
operating room to have one part of her brain to be operated to be put on
her place. Raphael considered of removing the remnants of his
humanity. He believed that destroying the lives of Rayn and Alia and
various evil deeds, he had no place anymore to turn back to. He
imprisoned his mother Queen Harumi in the darkest dungeons after

being tired of pointing out the flaws in his policies.

Raphael Howards went to one of the deepest corners of the palace
staring at General Harrisons weapon The Sword of Restoration he got
from Rayn after torturing him. Raphael told himself that Rayn has
nowhere to go and will suffer the same fate of his ill-fated father. He
added that the immigrants knew how General Harrisons treatment of
them. He concluded that Rayn was not only an enemy of the Ezarrans

but also all the people around him.

Anna Henson saw Rayn started dressing himself to go to battle once
again. Anna told Rayn that he should still rest because his wounds have
not yet fully healed. Rayn told her that he knew what he is doing. Alia
saw Rayns body was filled with wounds. Rayn faced Alia telling her that
again he was sorry for what happened to her. Alia replied that she took
the risk made her choice to be with him. Alia asked him about the

possibility of getting even with Howards. Rayn confirmed that she should
find a safe place and never join him due to the dangerous nature of the

journey.
Alia told Rayn that Ezarrans and gangsters are all over the place that he
might get killed. Rayn replied Alia that come what way. He finished
dressing himself telling Alia to bring her into a safe place. Alia replied
Rayn that Amenopolis was conquered without a fight and she had no
place to go back. Rayn told Alia to prepare because they would be soon

leaving Smeksys house.

Rayn embraced Alia and told her he will go after Howards so they could
live in peace once again along with everyone whom the Ezarrans have
oppressed. Rayn and Alia left Smeksys residence with the reluctance of
the people who rescued them. Soliman Ramirez and a number of loyal
men accompanied Rayn and Alia to the safer Mactal City. During the
journey, Alia told Rayn that Raphael wronged her and she wanted to join
him to avenge her dignity. Rayn replied Alia that she should better stay

safe than be sorry.

Alia and Rayn started to argue with each other. Alia argued Rayn that
General Harrison attempted even killed many immigrants thus not only
his reputation ruined but also his. Rayn argued back that he had paid
what his father did to the immigrants. His new outlook in life mellowed
the hearts of the immigrants on him. Alia angrily asked him of his
reluctance to let her join him. She pressured Rayn telling him just
because she is a woman growing up as a princess making her eligible to
join him in his campaign against Howards. Rayn replied that all he
wanted is to keep his sister safe from harm. He showed Alia that he

cared so much for her.

Rayn sent Alia to his foster parents in Mactal City. He told them to take
care of her just like they did on him. Rayn, Soliman Ramirez and their

men went back to Tondonia.

As if possessed by a vengeful demon, Rayn and his men went to the
same temple where he and Alia met their misfortunes. Inside, they were
stopped by cult members of entering their sacred sanctuary after all the
desecration that happened. Rayn and his men didnt think twice of
forcing themselves killing many cult members present. The temple

activated its security but it didnt prevent the rampage of Rayn and his
men. Rayn and his men destroyed everything in the temple. They
accidentally found the section where abducted children were held. He

told his men to escort all the children back to society.

Rayn climbed higher into the temple. He returned to the room where he
and Alia tasted a glimpse of hell. Rayn recalled the moments and
destroyed everything in the room. Cult members tried to stop him but
were killed as well. Rayn went to the main sanctuary and met Jack
Scizor. Rayn told Scizor that his temple must be destroyed on ruining
both his and Alias lives as well as placing abducted children for demonic

activities.
Jack Scizor told Rayn to watch his mouth and dont let his anger make
him look stupid. He rejected everything Rayn thrown at him. Jack Scizor
corrected Rayn that he and his members were not responsible of what
happened to them. Rayn asked Scizor the whereabouts of Howards and
his gangsters. Scizor thanked Rayn of telling him the ones responsible.
He added that Rayn shouldnt trump like an ignorant child to such
sacred place. Rayn angered grabbed Scizor telling him that he should
tell where Howards and his gangsters were hiding after all what they did
to him and Alia. Scizor yelled Rayn that he didnt know. Rayn threw
Scizor with the latter landing on the foot of the main sanctuarys statue.
Rayn told Scizor to close the temple before he reported them to the

authorities.
Jack Scizor told Rayn that there are no authorities in Tondonia except for
crimes and violence. He told Rayn that he will pay what he did to his
temple and his beloved members. He also told Rayn that he will realize
that he did a grave mistake that will haunt the rest of his existence.

Rayn pretended he didnt hear Scizors threats and left.

Rayn saw the townspeople surrounding a house. The people asked the
residents of their lost children. A woman of Shitenian heritage went out
denying her involvement about the abducted children. Rayn intervened
and told the people that the children will be back to them anytime. One
of the townspeople asked Rayn that how can be so sure. Rayn replied
that the woman doesnt have anything to do with the lost children. The
woman told Rayn that she can handle the people all by herself. Rayn

replied that he wanted her to be safe in the middle of the night

especially with gangsters roaming around.

Boss Smeksy was surprised seeing Rayn back. Knowing Rayn wanted to
get revenge on Howards and the gangsters, he revealed the identity of
the gang leader who abducted both him and Alia. He introduced his
name as Baron Comte, Tondonias most powerful gang lord with several
gang organizations under his control. He is the de facto unofficial leader
of Tondonia. He controlled the local government. He is also a frequent
business dealer of Ezarran underworld organizations as bright as day as
frequent as daily meals. Rayn made Smeksy known that he wanted no
part of becoming a gang member. Smeksy told him that he is all alone

without a stepping stone.

Boss Smeksy offered Rayn to work under him to get rid of all violent
gangsters in Tondonia. He promised Rayn that they will separate ways
after cleaning Tondonia of evil elements. Boss Smeksy told Rayn that he
is tired of the Ezarran criminals meddling Tondonian affairs. The promise
of a peaceful liveable Tondonia made by Smeksys revolution made Rayn
work under him. Smeksy told Rayn that without getting even with
Howards he and Alia will be haunted by the tragic memories for the rest

of their lives.
Soliman Ramirez told Rayn that Boss Smeksy is a good person and he
will be in good hands. Anna Henson and Ace Henson expressed their
desire to support Smeksys plan. Anna Henson told Rayn that she and
her team will be always ready in treating his wounds in battle. She asked

Rayn to take care of himself at all times.

Under Smeksy, Rayn and Soliman Ramirez led their men to wage war
against the gangsters of Tondonia. They ordered one of their troops to
block every travel routes to prevent the gangsters from leaving
Tondonia. As weeks gone by, they devoted their time cleaning Tondonia
of violent gangster organizations. They even killed numerous notable
gangster bosses. They destroyed several drug businesses that alarmed

both Ezarran and Tondonian underworld figures.

Rayn and his allies further defeated many gangster organizations
getting the attention of Baron Comte and his allies. They involved
themselves with more brutal wars until almost getting rid of gangsters in

Tondonia. One time Rayn was cornered by many gangsters. In his

surprise, Alia put down many gangsters that tried to kill Rayn. Rayn
asked her to choose a safer life. Alia made it clear to Rayn that his battle

will be her battle. Howards cannot forever run from what he did to them.
Rayn, Alia, Ramirez and their allies together put down more remaining
gangs setting their sight on Baron Comte. Ezarran soldiers became
involved on Rayn and Alias crusade. There was a time they were
threatened of annihilation. An unlikely ally Jack Scizor ordered his men to
help Rayn and his friends defeat both Ezarran soldiers and gangsters

just because the enemy desecrated his temple.

Jervacio Lim with soldiers loyal to General Harrison engaged in guerrilla
warfare defeating many Ezarran soldiers. He and his soldiers exploits
became a great concern to the Ezarran government. They continued
their activities getting the attention of the whole Tondonian continent.
Jervacio and his men were shunned by the immigrant community. Only
through convincing the immigrants that Howards became a mad ruler
and will only exploit their talents using them for his ends, Jervacio and
his men got the support of the immigrants tired of Ezarran governments
broken promise. With the support of the new immigrants, Jervacio got
more manpower on his quest to bring down the Ezarran government

promising them a new Ezarra.

Rayn, Alia and their allies managed to end up on Baron Comtes
headquarters. Rayn told Alia and his troops that not only they are
fighting against Tondonian gangsters but also Ezarran enemies. Soliman
Ramirez told Rayn he and his troops are going to hold off the gangsters
on the main road while he and Alia buy their time getting to Baron

Comte without too much danger.

Jack Scizor and his troops also went to Baron Comtes headquarters
defeating a coalition of Ezarran Tondonian forces. Accompanied by his
troops, Scizor took his revenge by burning many warehouses around the

complex where illegal drugs are stored.

Soliman Ramirez led his troops to the main door. They engaged violent
shootouts with Ezarran soldiers and gangsters leading to massive losses
on both sides. Soliman Ramirez demonstrated his skills in battle putting
down huge number of enemy troops.

Rayn and Alia broke the glass leading them near Baron Comtes
quarters. They defeated gangsters that come on their way. Rayn
ruthlessly put down gangsters that approached them. Alia focused on

putting down the gangsters from afar with her accurate shooting.
In one room, Rayn and Alia saw many people tied up presumably slave
workers. Rayn told Alia that he will keep her on guard while she frees the
workers. Alia realized the room is filled with bombs that will go off in a
very short time. When Rayn and Alia attempted to defuse the bombs,
gangsters barged attacking Rayn and Alia. Soliman and his troops went
inside to where Rayn and Alia killing all the gangsters. Soliman told the
two he and his troops will handle bomb defusion. He ordered the two to

go after Baron Comte.

Boss Smeksy and his troops arrived at the gangster compound. They
helped Rayn and friends clear off the area. The Fooder Sisters used their
fighting skills to kill gangsters that tried to escape. Rayn and Alia met
and defeated more gangsters that came on their way. They eventually

reached the room where Baron Comte stays after a long hurdle.
Soliman Ramirez and his men successfully defused the bombs barely a
second before time of detonation. They brought the slave workers out of

the compound back to society.

Baron Comte welcomed Rayn and Alia. Rayn told Baron Comte that his
involvement with Howards will seal his fate. Baron Comte replied the two
that just like Howards had told him, they remained stubborn as ever. Alia
told Baron Comte that she didnt forget what his men and Howards did
to her, he must pay. Baron Comte replied the two that he has been in
business for a very long time and they dont know what they are into.

Baron Comte decided to fight Rayn and Alia.

Baron Comte fought Rayn and Alia with his elegant fencing style. He
mocked the two that they didnt have the class to take him down. He
added he didnt need to escape facing the likes of them who are cheap
enemies. Rayn and Alia clashed their weapons against Comte. Alia
attempted to shoot him but her bullets were deflected. Comte shoved
Rayn knocking Alia down. Rayn took the opportunity stabbing Comte but
surprised that his enemy is invulnerable. Comte outclassed the two with

his swords fighting ability. Soliman and his men returned to stop Comte

but were driven out.

Rayn and Alia continued fighting Comte in an intense pace. They tried
their best to put down Comte but his invulnerability brought the fight
without direction. Tired of his opponents style, he threw sands that
temporarily stunned the two. Comtes men came to his aid. Rayn and
Alia recovered made short work of them. Comte blasted the two with a
rocket launcher hoping to kill the two. He went out of the room to

escape.
The blasts of the rocket launcher destroyed the place trapping both Rayn
and Alia under a pile of debris. Jack Scizor and his men freed Rayn and
Alia. Alia thanked Jack Scizor. Scizor replied him that the enemy had
escaped before she would give thanks to him. He told the two to pursue
the man who ruined their lives. Rayn and Alia ended up in a hidden
cave. They encountered a combination of Ezarran soldiers and
Tondonian gangster goons. After defeating many enemies, navigating
their way around the cave, they saw Comte entering his submarine

ready to leave Tondonia to escape from them.

Rayn told Comte to stop getting away from them if he can really beat
them. Comte replied that it is useless to deal pests like them. Rayn
unleashed a heavy energy blast from his eye blowing up the submarine
taking Comte with it. He told Alia that Howards lost an eye in Tondonia

just like his men removed his.

Rayn was surprised that Comte managed to survive. Comte changed his
form. He became angrier than ever. He pulled off his chainsaw to
destroy Rayn and Alia. Comte told Rayn and Alia that he ruined their
lives and now he is going to end it. Rayn told Alia to stay in a
comfortable range while he fights against Comte. Comte started
intimidating Rayn with his chainsaw. Rayn clashed his sword on Comtes
weapon and was about to be overpowered. Alia fired the last of her

weapon just enough to stagger Comte.

Rayn fought Comte intensely and was started to get outclassed. Rayn
fired energy blasts from his eye that even barely damaged Comte.
Comte told Rayn that he brought nothing new to the table after long
years of mastering combat experience. Rayn slashed Comte several

times but without avail. Comte started unleashing his own brand of
energy blasts causing huge explosions rocking Rayn and Alia. Alia
unsheathed her Amenopolian gladius to help Rayn. Comte went forward
with his chainsaw trying to get his enemies. Rayn managed to disarm
him destroying his weapon. Alia slashed Comte a couple of times. Comte

grabbed her threw her around the place.

Rayn hit Comte with more energy blasts. Comte walked through the
blasts overpowering Rayn. Comte told the two that fighting them is a
waste of time. Comte started to call his men to fetch him. Alia saw her
weapon broken into pieces and Rayn unconscious. Alia started to clench

her fist and rushed towards Comte.

Alia went into Comte started beating him violently. Comte tried to fight
but was severely overpowered by Alia. Comte went to a comfortable
range blasting Alia with energy blasts. Alia blasted him with her own
cosmic energies heavily injuring Comte. Alia rushed to Comte and was
hit with powerful punches from Comte. Alia was not affected by what
Comte did to her. She rushed to Comte continued beating him with
powerful cosmic energies. She unleashed everything she could give
bringing Comte to the brink of defeat. Comte managed to grab her neck
and was about to snap it. Rayn woke up stabbed Comte in the body
breaking his hold on Alia. Alia delivered the final blow unleashing huge
explosions that rocked a significant part of the Tondonian continent

taking Comte with it.

After a moment, Rayn woke up saw both Comte and Alia down in the
ground. He saw a secret passage now unlocked. Rayn carried Alia and
went inside the passage. Rayn left Alia near the entrance so he could be
better off exploring the room. Rayn solved many ordeals and ended up
in front of a treasure chest. Rayn read the chest with an inscription of
containment of power will be available after its inception. Rayn opened

the chest and obtained all the weapons for him and his friends.
Jack Scizor, sat on his throne told his wife that Rayn soon will pay his

dues.
Outside the room, Rayn saw Soliman Ramirez, Boss Smeksy and their
men asking him whether he saw the fireworks that shook the Tondonian
continent. Rayn replied them that it was a long story. Medics carried Alia

on a stretcher to be treated. Rayn and his allies shook hands with each
other telling them Howards is the only one left for peace to reign

supreme once again.

In a hospital room, Rayn told Alia that he got new weapons for her. Alia
inspected the weapons telling Rayn that she didnt know she had a
hidden potential. Rayn told her to rest and move on. Alia thanked Rayn
that the weapons really fit her taste. She promised Rayn she will control
her hidden abilities better in their next adventures. Anna Henson told
Rayn that he had nothing to worry about Alias condition. She is just
tired and exhausted, a little rest she can be discharged exclaimed the

lady doctor.
Boss Smeksy thanked Rayn and Alia of getting rid of Baron Comte and
his criminal organizations in Tondonia. He told Rayn that Tondonia never
experienced a peace like this in a very long time. Rayn decided to end
his contract with Smeksy to embark on new adventures with Alia.
Smeksy replied Rayn that he and Soliman will always be there when he
and Alia needed them the most. Smeksy wished good luck on both Rayn
and Alia telling them not to forget on being tender with each other.
Soliman shook Rayns hand embraced him telling him to stay cool on his
next journey. He jokingly told Alia to never overkill her enemies. Alia

smiled at him bidding her friends goodbye.

Rayn and Alia embarked on new adventures. They remained in Tondonia
fighting alongside each other defeating many gangster organizations
cleaning Tondonia further of evil influences. Their dedication and fighting
spirit got the respect of the Tondonian government. Their names gave
inspiration to the embattled nation. Later when revolutions against the
Ezarran government were at its peak, Rayn and Alia joined the
revolutions fighting Ezarran forces bringing inspiration and hope around
the Tondonian continent. Its also reported that Queen Neferea and the
whole of Amenopolis were in high hopes after learning of their
adventures. They eventually reunited with their fathers most loyal ally
General Jervacio Lim. Under Lims leadership, all revolutions against the
Ezarran government were united as one with Rayn and Alia as their
greatest fighters and symbol of hope.

Rayn and Alia were always seen beside General Lim who is addressing
his crowd. Rayn looked on all directions stopping his gaze on the Ezarran
plateau on the horizon. Alia seemed puzzled and concerned about his
thoughts for the moment. Rayn turned back gazing at Shitenia Village.

Alia figured him out giving Rayn a smile knowing his next move.
The epic ends where General Lim ordered his troops to launch an attack
against the massive Ezarran army. Rayn and Alia filled with hope and
excitement followed General Lim into battle to fight the Ezarran armies.
END.
