::The Blackjack lands without any problem near Alexandria. Kerion disembarks from the ship and notices the damage the city has::
Looks like they struck hard before I got here.
::To his relief, people were still walking the streets, going about their bussiness while workers were doing their best to repair buildings. he gets the to the castle and the guards stand aside.::
Guard 1: We've been expecting you sir Kerion. The Majester is in the main hall waiting for you.
"Then it would be best if I didn't keep him waiting."
::As he walked by, he heard the guards whispering::
Guard 2: He doesn't look like much. Anyone that has to rely on guns can't be all that strong.
Guard 1: Don't believe everything you heard. He doesn't use only guns, but also employs blades and his own body as weapons. His body is built like a tank, impervious to blades and bullets. I heard some people call him The One Eyed Reaper.
"You two do know I can hear you, right?" Kerion said, shocking the two guards. He smiles before turning back and continuing to the main hall.

::A few months later::
"My queen, the extremists have gained more ground. Rumors are they're planning to attack the palace sometime soon. We have to evacuate you at once."
"No, I will not abandoned my people." The queen replied.
"If you're captured, it'll mean the end of peace in Alexandria."
"I'm afraid I'll have to agree with your advisors mi'lady." Kerion said. "Alexandria can be rebuilt if it's destroyed. It's royal family however, can not."
"We have an escape way set-up." One advisor said. "A hidden path under the palace that'll take you to Alexandria's outskirts, well away from the battle that'll ensure. We'll defend the palace as a distraction to ensure your escape." ::The guy looks to Kerion:: "We're very sorry about this sir Kerion, but we can only give you half of what we promised you as payment for your services as a bodyguard."
"I understand, given the situation." He stands up. "Guess I'm no longer needed here huh?"
"Indeed. Should any of us survive, we hope you'll work with us to retake Alexandria."
"I'll consider it." He turns and walks to the door to leave. But before he could get close, a explosion rocks the palace.
"Damn! They've started! Kerion, escort the queen to the passage then evacuate, we have your Blackjack prep and ready for take-off!"
"Alright!"
::After a few minutes::
"We'll take her from here sir Kerion." One guard said as the queen walked with them. "Be safe sir."
"Same to you guys." Kerion replied before taking off towards his ship, pulling out his PHS and dialing up Anya. "Anya, get the ship ready. We're leaving at once!"
::Kerion gets to the ship hanger as the cargo door to the Blackjack opens. he runs and hits the emergency close to close the door faster. The sky bay opened as the ship's lower thrusters propelled the ship upward:: "Activate rear engines, get us out of here!"
::The ship took off away from the palace turned battlefield. At the escape, the guards exit, only to find themselves surrounded by the extremists. Leading them was the queen's advisor::
"Leonardo, you were behind this!"
"Exactly. Your majesty has always been too soft for your own good. It was a matter of time before you brought the kingdom down."
"You betrayed us, for power!" One of the guards growled.
"No, I prefer to think of it as joining the winning side."
::The two knights, enraged by his words, charged at the traitor, only to be gunned down::
"Now there's only you my queen. Surrender and your life will be spared."
"Never Leonardo..."
"Suit yourself..." He pulls out a revolver and shoots, hitting the queen between the eyes. But as he gets closer to look at his kill, he notices something was off, a mark on her neck that was never there.
"WHAT! A STAND IN!" He tosses the revolver to the ground. "WHERE'S THE REAL QUEEN!?" Looks to the extremists. "SEARCH THE PALACE, FIND AND KILL HER! I WILL NOT LET OUR PLAN FAIL!"
