Guardians: The Guardian Kitsune War

"Right...Im sorry I forgot that edict...Its all my fault..."

"Doesn't the Ark have an experimental chamber that restores cells to their natural state? Scarlet you think you can have it sent here?" Alice asks having heard the conversation through the comms.


"Aerisa, get out of there and~" there's static over the comm as the transmission is hijacked.
"You. I have an assignment for you." Comes another voice masked by a deep gargle.

"Yes it does, Alice, but again, my father...Well, he's a bit too proud for his own good. He would never forsake our culture, not as I did."
She takes a moment to shake her head towards Gladius, in a reassuring manner.

"Not like it matters." Scarlett says Nomming on a sandwich."That experimental chamber is a one of a kind piece of tech. And guess who ran off with it and the android who knows how to operate it?"

"Lumi..." Gladius mutters.

Aerisa frowns a bit. "...Who are you? I work for Arctica."

"Who I am is not important. What you are to do is. I've sent your task to your comm. get it done." Is all they say before the transmission disappears.

Aerisa takes a look at the mission, bringing it up on her comm.

[Redacted]


The message has deleted itself.

She grumbles, slinging her sniper before heading to the ship. Once she makes it there, she tries to bring up Arctica.

"What happened? Someone hijacked the comm. what did they tell you?"

"Whoever it was wants me to steal more draconic dna and apply this brand..." she says, looking it over in her paws. "...But why Gladius?"

"Could be Alumia. Do it. I'm sure there will be a drop off for the DNA. I want you to drop it off and watch the drop off point. Take her out if you see her."

"Wait, take her out? But...Alumia's Gladius' mate, and part of the Guardians. Why would you want her dead?" She asks.

"She has a bounty on her head for abandonment and theft of Guardian tech. The bounty went up this morning. She's more willing to do anything to get her child back, even spill information. She is to be killed on sight. Alumia is no longer a Gaurdian."

"Gladius won't like this one bit...I'm trying to gain their trust...but...I'll do ask you ask, Arctica." She says solemnly, before guiding her ship to Ix's home planet to get the DNA

"I'm not asking. That is an order. Their friendship and trust is no use to you." She says ending the transmission.

"...Yes Arctica..." She says softly, heading to Ix's planet. It wouldn't be long till she got there.

'You know, there could be more natural things that could work. If your dad is willing to try something from another planet." She says taking another bite of her food recalling something from her own homeworld.

"The disease is incurable." Ix's father says waving his hand."I just wanted to see my kids again before the time comes. Butt you best leave before the council finds out you both are here."

Gladius nods. "Of course...but...I'd regret it if we didnt try to help you."

"No." Ix decides decisively. "Let the council come...They know I've grown more powerful, much so than they could ever hope. The real problem is going to be the mobs of other Hazuit..."

"Heads up...speak of the devil." Their father says watching as said angry mob starts to approach.


Alice speaks up." You guys are Guardians, and since this is neutral kitsune territory, any harm that comes to you is an act of war. Just remember your rights as a Guardian."

"Alice is correct. Honestly though I do think that I have an idea of something that will help."

"We may have to retreat." Gladius suggests.

Ix huffs a bit, and steps forward, crossing her arms.
"..."

Of course, one of the council members is leading."Ixtli and Gladius. You both were banned from ever returning here. You are hereby under arrest for violating your exile."
