28 The Rose Of Faradras.

Sitting in front of the gorgeous woman, Bann eyed carefully her delicate yet regal features of the red-haired woman, who also did the same with him. The air between them was charged with an unspoken tension as they sized each other up, each aware of the other's allure.

"You should know by now that I wish to take you as my woman," Bann said directly, he wasn't one to doubt around women.

If Aurora was shaken by his words, she didn't let showcase it as her posture remained in the same elegance and gracefulness while she nodded "I have indeed thought of that." She paused briefly as she then continued "But after seeing so many young maidens be presented at you, I also thought that you might no longer hold such ideas."

Bann couldn't help but smile while he tilted his head sideways with a playful look on his face "How could that be? One thing is the need for political stability and another one is the matter of wants. And you Miss Fennetos, are someone I dearly want to my side." He told her truthfully as he eyed her reaction.

Yet she remained with her same stoic face as she asked "Is that so?" She then furrowed her brows as she seemed to recall something while saying "Pardon me if I am mistaken, but we have never seen each other nor spoken before. Are you perhaps mistaking a want for lust?"

Seeing her raised eyebrow and inquiring gaze, Bann let out a smile while he nodded "Aye, that's indeed the case. But isn't want and lust the same thing?" He asked while, as Aurora let out a snort in response.

"The difference lay in the choice of words, while one is more formal, it's also veiled in hypocrisy. While the other is more blunt - or impropriate - yet it's more sincere." She answered him.

Reclining back on the seat while raising a brow he asked her "It's sincerity what you want, Miss Fennetos?" Aurora remained still as she acknowledged that Bann didn't finish.

"Because if that is the case then I can be blunt and sincere as much as you want." His tone was sincere and stern.

Aurora let out a faint smile as she said "Honour me then."

"What do you wish to know?" Bann asked as he retrieved back his glass of honey wine with telekinesis.

Gulping down at his power she asked with clear concern "Could you defend this world truly?"

Taken aback by her question as he thought she would ask something in regards to her person, Bann couldn't help but see in another light to woman that seemed to veil the interest of the planet more than he first thought.

Gulping down the wine he answered her "You probably know better. What I have showcased is just but a speck of my power, nothing that the Imperium can send us would endanger this planet. For that be assured." His tone carried an underlay of anger at the doubt she showcased.

Biting her lips, she didn't follow the question she held and shook her head. After pausing briefly she spoke, "I know I have no decision over my fate by now, but I want to clarify a few things I wish to be known for you." She sighed deeply as she said the latter.

Nodding his head, Bann motioned her to continue, not hurrying to correct her in regards to the notion she had of being already taken by him.

"I wish you lend me your strength to deliver my vengeance for those who had seen my mother's death. I cannot be at ease until I see the Adeptus Administratum being burned into ashes." As Bann heard her words he couldn't help but sit correctly as his grin disappeared from his face while a serious frown replaced it "The head of the one responsible for not only this sector but the whole Ultima Segmentum shall be offered to her tomb. That's the only thing I ask in return for giving myself to you."

There was clear rage, hate and pain behind Aurora's voice while Bann stared back at her crystal blue eyes that held a tint of red in them.

"You're asking for something big, and serious, you know that right?" Bann asked her in a low tone.

Aurora nodded her head while she fought back the tears in her eyes at the memory of her mother, she answered him "I am aware of it. But I promise you that I'm worth it." She held her chin proud while she stared at him.

Reclining back in his seat, Bann started to ponder on his head while analysing the pros and cons.

The pros were only getting a faithful woman, at least for all he knew until now.

While the cons were putting the whole attention of the Imperium on his head.

'Since when a Saiyan backed down from a fight?' Suddenly Bann asked to himself as he stared back at Aurora with newfound confidence.

Letting out a smile he said out loud "I guess I could get that guy head for you while on my way to Terra. Hehehe." His laugh echoed in the Eviction Chamber while Aurora froze on her spot.

Her eyes wide open as she stared dumbfounded at the man in front of her who uttered such words.

Not minding her expression, he playfully said to her "I just hope you raise well our kids. You'll be mothering kings and queens that will conquer plenty of stars."

He then stood up and motioned with his hand for her to take it while he said with a mischievous grin "Come on, let's get your pretty ass to the civil registry to put it in my name."

Aurora who had taken his hand automatically couldn't help but be more dumbfounded while her cheeks flushed red. Although she wanted to say something to the thug in front of her, she couldn't bring herself to.

Not after what he said.

He would be the man who put himself at war for her to only avenge her mother. Just one man against the mighty Imperium of Mankind.

'He's not just a man, he is my man.' She thought to herself while Bann took her away.

She didn't know if she could come up to love him, or what would come up from this. But she was sure of one thing, someone that was willing to reach such lengths for her was more than worthy to lay the claim of being called her man.

Thus, under the starry sky of Faradras, Bann was on his way to take his first wife. A woman who would shake the entire galaxy and rule with an iron fist alongside the Saiyan Warrior.

...

*BOOOM* *BOOOOM*

The land trembled in Faradras, far away from Redentia. Craters were filling the wasteland where green bodies remained slain in the ground. Ashes were being scattered around the wind as the explosion vaporized hundreds of orks.

Large energy spheres of explosions were illuminating the night as the Imperial Guard gulped down with awe at the lone figure flying in the sky.

Meanwhile, the small detachment of Battle sister grasped their weapons tightly as they eyed with venom at it. Though different from the two figures they met before, its armour, spiky hair and abilities were indicators enough of her nature.

She was another one of those Xenos that called themselves Saiyans.

The servitors and cherubims around recorded carefully the abilities showcased while they sent the images.

*SWOOISH* *BOOOOOOOOOOM*

A larger explosion engulfed the thick of the Ork column as they were vaporized from existence. Cries of WAAGH resounded while they were drowned in the blast of explosions. The nine-foot-tall orks were torn into shreds as their swarming numbers decreased at an alarming rate.

Yet their eyes stared with frantic rage and battle lust at the lone figure flying high in the sky. Shots were fired from their scrap weapons yet none managed to hit on her fast figure.

Ramela who had a large grin on her face eyed the green-infested wasteland that extended for kilometres, there were plenty of enemies to let out some steam while she also flexed upon the weak humans.

'It's a shame that isn't a full moon yet, I would have loved to trail them back.' She thought to herself as she let out more energy spheres while flying around at high speeds.

Her eyes darted around in search of the more bigger and resilient Orks that were able to withstand more than one punch without being torn into sheds. While the ki blast illuminated the ground she was able to spot the hulking figure of one at twelve feet in height.

'Hehehe, there you are!' Relishing on her finding she launched herself forward at great speed towards her target.

The Ork nob that was overlooking the battlefield alongside his other companions couldn't help but be taken aback as the air left his lungs while an unimaginable amount of pain encroached on his being.

Crashing against the ground and leaving a small crater, the Ork tried to rise again. His eyes were blurry, yet his blood boiled while his instinct kicked in as he launched himself forward, amidst the pain that numbed his senses.

Ramela who was floating in front of the big ork, couldn't help but let out a grin while she eyed playfully the ork attacks. Lowering her speed to match his as she started to punch him back while evading.

The Ork who could only rely on his instinct and natural strength was giving desperate attacks. With each punch that Ramela landed upon the Ork body, the latter saw his speed decrease as muscles and tendons were torn into shreds.

*BAM*

Seeing the Ork about to fall, Seleri stopped holding back and used her whole strength with her last punch, as a blurry mist of blood was the only thing that remained from her attack.

The sound of her punch echoed around while she eyed the incoming Boyz and Nobs.

Feeling playful, she decided to entertain their wishes as she fought them in close-quarter combat, though without holding back.

In a moment of a second, dozens of orks were blown into mist as her punches destroyed everything. The Nobs saw their bodies being blown into half where each punch landed as Ramela let out a laugh of enjoyment.

Although the orkz couldn't compare to the feeling of battling against her companions, they were good targets to let out some steam of frustration.

Each punch carried the anger she felt towards Aprit and his doings. While others the frustration she felt with herself for not speaking her mind when she wanted.

Accustomed to hearing what her brother and Bann said, she started to realize some of her flaws as she compared herself to Seleri. Who always made herself heard unlike her.

'I should have told Aprit that I didn't want him with other women.' Her smile faded as some tears gathered in her eyes while her punches were now being delivered with sheer rage.

Her speed increased as the orks were unable to even react or see what killed them as she moved through the wasteland at a speed that escaped everyone's senses.

'I should have told them that I wanted to decide whom I partner with and when should I have my kids!' Tears streamed down the face of Ramela as the landscape was being affected by the strength of her fist. Dozens of orks are being destroyed with each fist.

"I DON'T WANT TO DO WHAT YOU WANT!" She let out a scream as a ki sphere surrounded her while expanding at great speed, disintegrating both orks and the land.

In a matter of a second a bubble of at least one kilometer in diameter formed around Ramela while she huffed in anger. Her tears vaporised as her ki burst outward.

Closing her eyes, Ramela tried to calm down herself she wasn't able to hear anything.

'You can do what you want my child, if you ever doubt, just look at the moon and remember your mother will always love you.' The words she often heard before sleeping resounded in her mind. The face of her mother when saying such words filled her heart with warmth while at the same time, she felt a void.

Opening her eyes while giving a long look at the moon, Ramela let out a deep breath as she started to float again in the sky.

Steeling herself back, she resumed her task as she continued cleaning the land from the orks under the wary gaze of the Imperial Guard.

Emotions were blooming on the surface, as the full moon approached in Faradras. Bringing with it the deepest feelings of each Saiyan.

Ramela was about to not only change her fate but the whole squad.
