2 Family
After all the squadron fighters have landed the last one to land was the old ship that Rasgar owned.
"Hey, kid Catch!" Rasgar shouted while throwing a long coat to aganon.
"Huh?" aganon replied while the coat hit his face.
"Stay on your guard kid!"
Knowing that they would return to Fordes the Forderian Homeworld Rasgar and Aganon's Father prepared themselves for what's to come while aganon who is still confuse tried to piece things together.
"Ready?" Aganon's Father asked.
"Yeah" Rasgar replied.
Aganon's Father pressed the bay door button and they were immediately greeted by soldiers lined up on each side of the bay door and in the middle was a girl with a white hair in a blue admiral formal wear.
The first one to go out was aganon and rasgar...
"so it is you uncle," the girl said while saluting.
"Uncle?" Aganon asked.
"Oh...hahaha Aganon this girl here is your cousin" Rasgar replied.
"Is he your son uncle Rasgar?" Levy asked.
"This little sh*t hahahaha.....no he's Arkan's boy" Rasgar replied.
As soon as he said that Arkan came out and all soldiers saluted.
"Arkan?? Prince Arkan?!?!" Levy shouted while asking.
"Uncle....No Prince Arkan its good to see you again"
"Levy you've grown since the last I saw you" Arkan replied.
"Grandma's gonna kill both of you...you both disappeared for 20 years " Levy commented while wiping her tears.
"Wait the old hag is still alive?" Rasgar asked.
"Yeah, she is the empress since you two are missing" Levy replied.
Rasgar gulped and took a step back he immediately tried to bribe her niece to let her escape.
"No!" Levy shouted.
"Why you little..." Rasgar replied.
"Everyone prepare for the jump to light speed we're going home immediately" Levy commanded.
After hearing that command everyone saluted and went to their specific jobs in the ship.
"Aren't you the commander in charge?" Arkan asked.
"No....that smug grand admiral took the command from me" Levy replied.
"Oh, who's the grand admiral now?" Rasgar asked.
"It's that brat Lucilla the granddaughter of the grand marshall Aelous" Levy replied.
=Grand Admiral Lucilla's Ship=
"Grand Admiral it looks like admiral levy is pulling her forces from the battle" one of the lieutenants reported.
"What! without her forces establishing air superiority our ground forces are sitting ducks"
"That b*tch what is she doing abandoning her post...Tell rear-admiral Hawthorne to take over levy's post" Vice-admiral Auriel commented.
"But Vice-admiral our backs will be unguarded" one of the tacticians argued.
"He's right we don't know when their reinforcements will come...deploy 4 squadrons to establish air superiority" the Grand admiral commanded.
"But ma'am our forces will be completely expended once the invasion is finished" Vice-admiral Auriel argued.
"We must complete this invasion by any means necessary or do you want to tell the grand marshall we failed and completely wasted supplies and ammunition" the Grand admiral replied.
"We'll deal with her later just focus on the invasion"
=Planet Fordes - Aegis Space Station=
"Sir a fleet is coming out of hyperspace" One of the patrol officers reported.
"Is it one of ours?" the captain asked.
"it's admiral levy's fleet captain do we establish contact?" the officer asked.
"Connect me now we need to know about the other fleets if they are coming or not" the captain commanded.
"Good day, Admiral might I ask what happened to the invasion and the other fleets?"
"The invasion is still underway and I left to deliver some special people to the empress" Admiral Levy replied.
"Is that so then I will expect the other fleets later...Captain Agarde out"
after ending the transmission the space station opened the planetary shield to let the fleet pass through.
"Wow, we have planetary defences now huh....hahaha" Rasgar commented.
The Fleet docked in the shipyard of the Forderian Navy after that repairs and logistics came in to make sure the fleet is well prepared.
"Hoo...Where did you get the budget for this large scale operation?" Arkan explained.
"Since you left the whole planet went through a lot of changes and reforms that you will never recognize it from the corrupt state that it is in before" Levy explained.
Two men abruptly came in and introduced themselves...
"Eherm...Excuse me I am magistrate Vicarne and this is prime minister Rolo we heard from admiral levy's report that Prince Arkan and Arch Duke Rasgar has returned and even with a potential heir"
"Potential Heir?" Aganon asked in his mind.
"Hahaha if it isn't uptight Vicarne and crazy Rolo," said Rasgar who is fixing his collars button.
"Hmmph this dumb ass is still alive and kicking Vicarne we shouldn't have come" Rolo replied.
"Now now....the empress will be delighted to hear this" Vicarne explained.
"It's good to see you two have survived that disaster," Arkan told them while fixing his formal suit.
"Let's talk about that later, The Empress is waiting" Rolo Replied.
Vicarne and Rolo lead them to a shuttle that is escorted by the royal guards.
"The royal guards? they are still here? that's a surprise considering their previous commander's corruption" Rasgar commented.
"Rest assured they are not the royal guards of old, they're the opposite of what you think they are the most elite unit in the empire right now" Vicarne explained.
"So how is the old hag, how did she make this change in the small years we were gone," Rasgar asked.
"Hahaha, you won't believe it after she heard you all died due to the empire's corruption she had a mass execution of all officials that were presumed to be guilty and the more guilty afterwards she replaced them with the young and competent officials" Rolo explained.
"That day is now recognized as The Cleansing, not only that after news of the mass execution spread off-world she was recognized by another title The Blood Empress " Vicarne added.
"Pfftt Blood What.....hahahaha," Rasgar said while laughing.
"What so Urgus is dead?" Arkan asked.
"Yes, he was replaced by a younger and competent Marshall" Vicarne replied.
"Also we now have the Knight's Code followed by every military soldier and officer"
"I shall not point the blade at my lord and nation and be just and righteous, no sin shall escape me" Rolo added.
"Wait isn't that Arkan's Quote Pfftt...hahahaha" Rasgar laughed and mocked his brother all the way until they reached the Imperial Palace.
"We're here please make yourself presentable" Vicarne advised them.
Seeing the shuttle landing the royal guards immediately run towards it and lined up on each side of the door.
"pugay kamay!" one of the commanders shouted and one by one the guards saluted.
