He had been sitting back in the comforts of his homeland, watching the satellite fed news of Venway, in the safety of his mansion back in the Realm. One such as powerful as he, and living in a place as advanced as those of his homeland had such luxuries. He watched the news carry on, and every now and then he wrote his private thoughts down on a legal pad - the kind lawyers used. All this talk of war, politics...none of these Armani suited bastards never even knew what war was about other than it was just absolutely horrifying. No shit. Politics were just a never ending battle of wits with both sides completely lacking in firearms to duel with. It made him sick to see this rubbish, yet he knew that he had to keep up to date. After all, he was a bit of a supporter for the Mutiny Alliance. He was there that night when the masked MA Forces came in, and dragged out the men. He was there also, to pick up the bleeding corpse of a child, and toss it out to sea, soon to join it with its mother and father, after saying a prayer for the family, when the fucking Iron Nation came along to slaughter the civilians like cattle. They were all trying to escape this bullshit of living in fear. And what happens? Even as they flee, in times of a supposed peace, now that the war seemed to be over, the enemy continued their onslaught like cowards. Like impaling a lobster down on the cutting board with a steak-knife, and torturing it slowly with a lighter over its carapace as it slowly died. Bastards.
He sat down, watching the news as it continued. His eyes were emotionless in their gaze, his body unmoving as he took in all the information, watching the two leaders battle back and forth. Did these people even know what it was like to stare into the eyes of a dying mother, and begged you to spare her son, because she, in her panic, did not know if you were there to help her or to kill her? The amount of bloodshed Kurobikari had seen over his vast number of years in existance, the many lifetimes, lifestyles, and utter madness he endured over his years was enough to drive a mortal man insane. He had participated in a number of wars before his time serving as an officer for the Ice Thugz faction of the Mutiny Alliance when it was still around. Today he was no longer serving them as an officer, but as an outside supporter. It shattered his heart to see people so willing to die for a cause that they would more than likely never live to see come true, and at the behest of leaders who would never have to see a single dead body that ever graced the battlefield, nor watch bullets rip into a person a mere 3 feet from them. Kurobikari in his times as a soldier, an Army Intelligence interrogator, and an all around warrior in a number of battles over his centuries-old, if not millenia old life, had pretty much seen war from every angle, political, physical, mental, social, and spiritual. War was simply reducing the numbers of the populace at large, for the sake of mere purging that which sickened humanity. Unfortunately the truly sick bastards would never see the enemy lines. They were too busy looking good for the civilians at home who were worrying ulcers over their sons and daughters that were off getting killed. A shame it has to be this way. But, sometimes, famine, disease, and natural disasters just couldn't stop humanity anymore. The will to survive was too strong for Gaia's graces anymore. As thus, the humans and their supernatural counterparts all had to come together and kill themselves and bring everyone else along for the ride. How fucking sad, pathetic, and sick could that be?
His own private military force had been made. A number of them had been living in barracks set up and constructed by Psychotech Industry's private construction crew that was within the Realm. He pondered now what the thoughts of his soldiers were as they were more than likely gathered round their own television sets, their computer screens and other sources of information. Unlike most political leaders he did not leave his men in the dark about things and believe only one side of the story for he was not going to part-take a side just yet. His own army was there for assistance when necessary against the threat of the baby-killer Iron Nation that tried so hard to make the MA look bad, albeit the fact that it was the Iron Nation's guns that fired the bullets that tore into civilian flesh. He could only think one thing to himself at that moment, as he now decided what he would do.
His notes:
"Never in my term of service under the Mutiny Alliance did I ever have to kill a child because my superior told me so. Never, have I ever, knowingly slaughtered a civilian life. In my times of war as a soldier I have left corpses in my wake whereever I walked. In times of war as a supporter I have provided the means to lay siege to everything known to man that could be destroyed by another creation of mankind. But now I shall rise up again, and lead again, for the sake of ending this bullshit. The Order would like to think it does what it can for the best interests of its people. If they only saw the looks upon their faces when the Iron Nation gunned down those same people in cold blood. Iron Nation. The hired hand of the Order to scare people into submission. The Alliance is no better, if only because of its brutality in its measures. However, these are times of no laughing matter. This is not some Hollywood film where one man can lay siege to an entire army and the worst he suffers is a shot to the arm. There is no such a man with the codename of Solid Snake. This is a real war. Real people die for unreal reasons. And here I am about ready to add to the body count. Why?
Because it is a necessary evil to put this away. The might of the Godslayer forces lead by Archos himself, as well as the Dreadslay forces, and a number of others, united against the Order and the Nation. The Order is nothing but a bunch of spineless politicians now, the Order still exists. It is time now, to end this bullshit, and set the people free.
It is time...for the clan of old, to become a nation....
It is time...for the Tiger's Awakening....
The time...of the Blue Tiger Nation..."
