The beating drums kept the rhythm of marching footsteps, the deep sound was even greater than any thunder the planet Vort had ever heard. Or even felt before for that matter. Irken troops held poise with each step, their heavy boots pounded the street, as the citizens of the capital of Vort simply stayed in the safety of their houses. Rank after ranks of troops marched along the streets of Irken Empire had recently persuaded the Leaders of Vort to 'accept' an alliance with them, but even with their acceptance and the new allegiance the Irken Empire still felt lacking. So the Tallest felt it was needed to show strength to his new allies.
Tallest Ikari smiled happily, his fingers held delicately a glass of whatever delicacy Vort claimed was their most prized liquids. He sighed as he sat back down, clearing his throat two younger Irks quickly stepped forward, the female Irken Advisor blinked her large purple eyes in anticipation of her Almighty Tallest. The male Irken Advisor coughed to try and hide his nervousness as he twiddled his thumbs to distract himself.
"Advisor Miyuki, the Vortians seemed placade enough no?" He asked, his small eyes were slits that gave an impression he was always glaring with narrowed eyes.
"Both Captains of the Irken Elite 5th Legion are continuing to march along the streets with their contingent of troops, so to answer your question, yes the Vortians seem placade enough with that in mind," Miyuki responded to Ikari. Her eyes watched closely as she wasn't exactly afraid of her leader unlike her male counterpart.
"Also my Almighty Tallest Lordship, both Captains are restless for another invasion," Spork the other advisor piped in with a shaky voice. His head was hanging low as he kept his gaze on the ground beneath his feet.
Tallest Ikari made a funny sound from his throat, taking in their spoken words as he mused a bit. His fingers swashing the liquid in his glass cup as he stared off into the streets of Vort. "Is that so? Well I guess Vort no longers need a strong presence to fully understand what their 'allegiance' with the Irken Empire means for now on," He replied as he slowly stood up, "Prepare the transports and call for Pilots of the Armada to prepare for a jump, also leave only a company from Legion Doomsday from the Red troops, " Tallest Ikari added as he moved towards the exit and head to his transport ship.
His advisors followed quickly behind him as they too shuffled through the hallway, "Jump to where? As well as should we prepare for something specific for the troops?" Miyuki asked as she quickly began to relay the messages across to the other Irken troops and pilots.
Tallest Ikari stopped short and turned to face both of his advisors, and both advisors took a tentative step backwards as even Miyuki felt a shiver run down her backside. Tallest Ikari had a most sinister grin and fiery eyes when he simply spoke, "War, what else? The Irken Empire requires more of it," He laughed as he turned around and continued to walk towards his transport.
Miyuki narrowed her eyes, as she continued to follow her Almighty Tallest. The Irken Empire perhaps needed a direction and purpose but she knew speaking against her Tallest in such a manner would not guarantee her life past a few seconds. She needed to survive, for she felt the call of leadership and the Irken Empire shall be hers. Her hand was in front of her as she closed her fist with a small smile tugging the corners of her lips.
"Yes my Almighty Tallest, the Irken Empire requires more," She responded.
"More,"
A/N:
This will be a backstory of Tallest Miyuki and her rise to power in the Irk Empire as well as a bit of Red and Purple of course. I simply wanted to explore more of Irk since they were considered such a deadly force of Strength and Power as well as conquered countless of planets and solar systems. Even with Red and Purple at the reigns many still feared the War Machine of the Irken Empire. So I was to write of how such a Military Power came to strangle the Galaxy and refused to let go of the grip they had.
Tallest Ikari is my creation, a being of true conquest as I hoped would make sense. Irkens are indeed a militaristic culture and society so it begs the question of surely Irk had Tallests that were indeed blood thirsty, compared to Red and Purple whom are more lackadaisical by contrast of the other Irkens and soldiers seen.
I hope you enjoyed my intro and hope you find it a bit interesting to leave a review or a follow/favorite! Don't forget to read other great stories written here!
