Phantasia: The Princess Knight

The ships around Loeri began to charge the weapons as a voice once again sounded out: "I repeat, leave or be exterminated!" 

"Who dares!" Charles Folson appeared in between Loeri's ship and the ships from the Machine Empire. "Who dares block a gust I personally invited!?" Seeing as Charles showed himself Loeri also appeared outside her ship.

"Oh, so these are your guests?" Another voice rang out as another middle aged old man appeared. "May I ask your excellency who these people are and why they are here?" 

"Do I, the ruler of this Machine Empire, need to explain what I do and why my guests are here to a general?" Charles sneered he could see through this man's plans of trying to dig out information.

"It's not that you do not but in the interest of security I must detain your guest until I am sure they pose no threat to our world." The middle aged man said. He showed no signs of backing down.contemporary romance

"Logan, don't go too far or I will not be responsible for what happens! My guests do not need to be handled by you. If you continue with your way of doing things I do not mind stripping you of your title." Charles was really starting to get angry. The man in front of him was blatantly going against him without even trying to hide it.

"Oh? Do you think..." Logan was about to retort when the sound of a "Humph!" came from their side. 

"Are you two idiots done? This is why I hate humans sometimes. They bicker back and forth instead of just fighting. I wouldn't even be here if it was not for Alicia asking me to come. I say, old man, Logan or whatever your name is. As someone from the ancient dragon race, I would very much appreciate it if you got your ugly face out of here. I came here to speak with Charles, not some idiot who wants to detain me for his own personal vendetta." Loeri patience was completely gone. She hated how humans went back and forth with words instead of just hitting each other until one side won. She would only put up with it when Alicia was around but since she was not she would handle things her own way!

Logan's face turned black as he looked at the young girl in front of him who looked no more than seventeen. He had never been talked down to in such a way by anyone! His anger came bursting out of him as he completely ignored the fact that Loeri already said she was an ancient dragon. "Listen here you little shit. You are an outsider to my Machine Empire. If I say you will die then you will die. So either you come with me and be detained until I know the reason for you being here or I will have my men open fire on you and destroy you here and now!" 

Unfortunately, Logan did not get the exact response from Loeri as he had thought. "Hmmm? Your Machine Empire? Charles, I thought you were the leader of the Machine Empire? Is this man trying to usurp the throne? Do you want me to destroy him for you? I can, you know..." 

Loeri lazily snapped her fingers and millions of ships suddenly appeared out of nowhere. While four more figures appeared at her side. Loeri tilted her head as she crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Logan, her gaze full of mocking for the man in front of her.

"Fine! We will start the fireworks early! Kill them all including Charles!" Logan yelled out. Since he had shown his true colors there was no reason for him to hold back any longer he quickly gave the order to shoot.

"You!"Charles was so angry he charged at Logan but just before he got to him, Logan disappeared from where he stood. The Machine empire ships that had already begun charging their weapons did not hesitate to fire. 

"Starla, grab Charles and retreat to the ships!" Loeri gave out her orders as she transformed into a massive dragon and shot out a beam of light from her mouth to block the incoming attacks. 

"Roger!" Starla wasted no time and grabbed hold of Charles and retreated back to her ship. 

After stopping the first barrage of attacks Loeri quickly retreated herself. Her entire group quickly retreated back into the void so they could come up with a new plan. They had originally wanted to enter the planet and work from the ground digging out the rebels and clean up that way. But who would have thought that Logan would have been so decisive in his actions and outright attack? 

Loeri sat down in a meeting room with Starla and the rest including Charles. "What do you have planned?" 

"I didn't know that Logan's reach stretched so far that even the entire military was under his control. I don't know what he has promised them but they are willing to listen to his commands and turn on me then that means he has something worth it for them to do so." Charles let out a sigh as he bowed his head. "I apologize for this."

"This is not entirely your fault. I did provoke him. But it seems you have lost complete control before you even had a chance to do anything." Loeri frowned she would not have come if she knew this was going to be such a pain. 

"Not entirely. The people personally under me will do whatever they can to hold them off. So we have a little leeway. But I do not wish to let them sacrifice themselves for nothing. I must regain control no matter what. Not only for my future but for Wendy's future as well. "
