Royal Hornet

Ruin

{Sire, the Royal Hornets are on schedule while the Emperor Hornet is about to be finished. five of the Royal Hornets will be deployed and tested during the extraction of the Luna.}

"Good but what about the experiment on the Ancients? Is there a significant discovery?" Zion asked as he was busy in looking around the Dark Forest looking at the spots and investigating some problems personally while practicing his flying abilities which he just recently learned.

{There is one significant discovery that I have found out sire. It was the forming of Mana Crystal from the Ancients, during their era, every Ancients must have developed a crystal mana compared to the present which is rarely seen, rank also has an indication of correlation in forming of these mana crystals. The higher the rank the higher chance of them forming Mana crystal. There must have been plenty of Cyan rank Beast in that period of time.}

"Mhhhh..." Zion was at thinking of something when he exclaimed "Cyan Rank". "Azraelle, I have a plan but find these for me." Zion sent something to Azraelle.

Five Neutral Cities

Separately one of the rulers of the five cities choose their own spot, and extracted at the same time during midnight in a very secluded area. Some of them brought their family and other their trusted guards.

All of them were prepared for anything but they were still dumbstruck by the arrival of the Royal hornet, Aside from it's huge size and intimidating looks. It's Yellow feature paired with the combination of chrome and matte black parts of the Hornet was amazing. Robotic legs, Transparent Glowing wings, and glass black eyes add aesthetic feature made it futuristic. It hovered using mana levitation with a bit of support from it's wings allowing the vehicle to have less disruptive force of wind during landing. It was more like a light breeze than a gust.

After landing, a couple of levitating drones help carry heavy baggage while soldiers assist and instruct them on where they would proceed. All in all the operation was swift and without any trouble, Zero witness reported aside from insects and beast at the periphery.

The Royal hornets grouped together at a single point and together they headed towards Holon Lake.

Holon Lake

Beside the lake was a simple but relaxing tent prepared for the arrival of the visitors. Upon their arrival, they were instantly greeted by Rygorn and some officers then guided into an open tent which food is already prepared. It was a banquet.

Zion welcomed them at the tent with Kumar, Lent, Zeeq and Shierra in a light armor intended to impress visitors, it was more of ceremonial armor than for battle. It was a combination of medieval and futuristic design with a streamlined features that is not heavy to look upon.

"Welcome your Lord's and Ladies..Before we go to business, let me invite you to a banquet." Zion with a very professional demeanor, welcomed them with respect but still retained his own standing as a ruler. He established himself as a friendly companion and it slowly made them comfortable.

The banquet lasted long than expected. The guest and their companions enjoyed the food very much that they ordered some of the dishes again. Paired with the Majestic Lake as their view their appetite was maximized and they felt satisfied. Still while eating they already noticed the construction going on, occasional drones flying above amazed them white large and small water craft slowly drifted in the lake.

After the banquet was finalized all guest were given a pair of glasses and instructed to wear them all the time. Then they rode a platform with wings like a dragonfly at the sides it can accommodate up to 10 persons at a time. Zion and the five Luna members were together at one platform while others rode another platforms. Together it slowly hovered above the ground and started to fly. At first they were afraid because they are only connected to a long robotic arm that strapped them on the waist coming from the platform itself but after hovering for a few second the robotic arm supported their balance in synchrony with the direction the platform flew and so they felt comfortable.

"Lords, Ladies and guest. I am Zion Arche Urza, ruler of this settlement and these are my companions. Welcome to Atlantis. Though it is not yet done, what you can see now will be the foundation of the city." Though the platforms flew separately, Zion's voice was heard from the glasses with has the capability to emit acoustic signal behind their ears as if they are hearing Zion speak normally at the ground without noise.

"Everyone, this is ATLANTIS." After saying those words, the glasses emitted glow that detect their eye movement and they can see the finished form of the city while hovering at a far distance. in the glasses they can see the whole of the city in a 3D hologram with a real background making the experience close to real.

"The city will be partially open when before the end of next year, and the completion of it is not decided yet, it's completion is dependent on your decisions and of the movements of the neighboring kingdoms and empire. To give you an estimate, if things go on our way, the city will be built in three years time including this year." Everyone seemed to be skeptical but after witnessing all the vehicles, technology, food, and their capabilities, they are somewhat hoping that it could be done before the end of their lives.

After a long but exciting tour, they were tired but still wanting for more. They could not get enough of the amazing technology, machineries and they even ventured deep into the lake riding a submarine to see the ginormous construction hidden from the calm surface.

But unfortunately their trip ended and it's time for the Luna and Zion to have a talk about business.
