Uragin, a planet in a constant state of war. There is no civil war on this planet, but a war from some unknown source. The machines, bio mechanical creatures wanting to dominate the galaxy.

These were the dominant species in the galaxy.

The machines were always trying to attack the Uras at their weakest point: when it was time to switch rulers. To make things worse, there were those who wanted to rule that planet and would even betray their people and family to do so.

Fortunately for the galaxy, the royal family always won, keeping Uragin intact.

However, things were different this time around. Time was a factor.

"They're starting to catch up, ma'am!" said the surveillance officer.

"Continue to provide cover fire!"

A bright flash enveloped the adjacent battleship.

"The Salade has been destroyed!"

"What about the crew?"

"They've all been killed in the resultant explosion! The fifth dimension space around the ship collapsed upon them!"

"And what about the princess?"

"Just before the explosion, we lost our lock on her energy signature. There was a time/space anomaly in the area. Instead of it steadily disappearing, it appears to have split!"

"We just received a transmission from dispatch! Tsuna also seems to have left! She launched after one of the energy paths."

An explosion rocks the ship.

"Intruders in the ship! They're on decks 5-1 through 5-12, headed for the bridge."

"Launch all escape pods, all of you, get off the ship, they're after us!"

"Sorry ma'am, we can't do that. We'll protect you with our lives. It's our duty."

"Who cares? The lives of the people are more important than a handful of royalty! GET OFF NOW!"

"No! We will protect you! Computer, set all systems to be controlled automatically!"

"Confirmed. Beginning evacuation process."

"Let's go! We'll slow them down, you get out of here."

Novaus: Determination OP Prologue Break

Silence envelops the bridge. A woman carrying to babies slinks into her chair. "Computer, they're so special, aren't they?" A holographic woman appears. "Yes, my lady. My scans indicate so. What are you going to do now?" Sighing, the woman says, "Who is left on the ship?" "My scans indicate that the intruders are advancing toward this point. All of the crew are dead. All escape pods are still in the ship." "Idiots. We aren't more important. Our lives are meaningless without yours. I guess, to ensure these two children's survival, I should split them up. I'll take the younger boy. Launch the girl along with half of the other space pods. They should cover her escape. Send a short coded message to the queen stating where she is. Until they learn to cover their power, this is the best we can do." "Understood, milady." After all we've been through, I can't believe I have to leave you like this, Carrie." "I'm sorry I wasn't of more use as your personal battleship, princess..."

The door bursts open. An unknown figure wearing dark colors steps into the light of the bridge. "I'm surprised. I can't believe the crew was so weak. I've heard tales about you, though." The princess looks confused. "Wait a minute, your energy is familiar. You can't be a guardian. I don't know you." Red lights flash from behind them. "Very good, princess. I'm just here to do my job. Take them, but don't kill them!"

The boy begins to cry. All of a sudden, bright light flashes before the princess. Then, a voice comes out of the light. "I'm sorry, but you can't touch her." A young man steps out wearing blue and black. He pulls out a sword and in a single slash, destroys all of the robots. "Wait, you can't be here. It's not possible that you are here!" says the princess. "Heh. There's more going on here than you know," says the dark figure. "Hey, Tsu... I mean, idiot with the sword! You know what's supposed to happen here! Be a good boy and let me work my magic." A scythe appears in his hand. "You might not want to watch, though."

A ribbon of light comes from his scythe as he slashes it. The woman and the boy are bathed in the light and their features begin to change as some light leaves them both and flies off. "That's enough!" Yells the man in blue. Holding up his hand in front of him, a strange light purple energy leaps from his hand and hits the dark figure. The dark figure disappears.

"I'm sorry I didn't stop him." She didn't respond. "Of course, she is unconscious. I wish I could have stopped him, but I can't meddle in the past.." After placing her in an escape pod with her son, he shuts the door.

"Carrie! Launch this escape pod headed for the planet at this location: 120-85-3! At the same time, launch all other escape pods."

"Understood."

"It was nice to meet you, Carrie. I'm sorry I didn't get to know you better. Goodbye, Carrie." Another flash envelops the young man and he disappears.

The holographic image of Carrie, the ship's computer, stands alone on the bridge. "Fourth dimensional manipulation. Seems like outlawing it doesn't prevent it." Flames envelop the bridge, as the ship becomes a bright star in the sky. After four seconds, the beacon of fire that was once the ship fades to darkness.
