Okinawa Prayer.

"We end tonight's segment with a look back at what historians are calling "The New Era" Sasha Crimbrow, of News eleven, said. "Our System was both rescued and conquered in one brutal year by the Noble faction. Under their law, there was a form of peace after they executed Marcos the Immortal. But this did not stop the people of Icca. They elected Mandalord the Protector, Gran Louge, a mere child, to lead them. This led to the Great Masacre. Over tens of thousands of Iccans died or were misplaced, including Mandalord Gran Louge. Then, fifteen years ago, Mandalord the Resurrector, Aaron Wynne, who was long since dead, declared war against the Nobles leading into a two year civil war. With the Noble faction banished from the system, Aaron started to create and pass new laws. Some in which include the rebuilding of Icca, and offering Projects a place to call home. He also turned our Monarchy into a republic with the Senate and Supreme Court." The news brought up a picture of Aaron and Lara at their wedding. "Being true to his word, he married his sweetheart, who was later crowned queen, Lara-Su."

Sasha then brought up a picture of Aaron and Lara holding Baby Mace and Gemia-Su.

"That's me! That's me!" A eight year old echidna boy sat in front of the screen. "I'M on T.V.!"

"Mace, sit down!" A eight year old girl yelled from the sofa.

"They're showing you too, Gemia."

"Then let me see!" Gemia-Su laid next to her father, Aaron. Lara was standing behind him.

"Prince of entire galaxy and he gets excited about being on T.V." Aaron said as his little snuggled up against him.

"As if you are any different." Lara said.

"Okay, so you got me there."

Lara rubbed her husband's shoulders. "My you're tense." Aaron just groaned. "Are you still nervous about tomorrows speech?"

"Universe saving, and politics I can handle." Aaron turned the T.V. off just before Sasha started to talk about the U.R. "But, speech giving is an entirely different story."

"then it is a good thing that we are taking the night off to relax." Lara as there was a knock at the door.

"But mooooooM! No! Stay here!" the two twins protested

"Did you her that?" Lara said as she answered the door. "I guess they don't want you babysitting after all."

"Wow, really?" Naoto Kouzuki pretended to act shocked. "Then I guess I better go..."

"Nevermind!" Mace said as he pushed the Japanese-Mandalorian in from behind. Gemia-Su was chanting his name over and over as she pulled him in.

"What's with you?" Lara asked as she saw a worried look on her husbands face. "They don't mean it."

"It's not that," He said while putting on his coat."Just... old memories popping up."

"Then this is a night you need," Lara said as Aaron helped her into her coat. "We'll be dining at the Gemand then going to the show. Any of the castle staff will have our number if you need us."

"Don't worry, Lara." Naoto said. I'm a Chieftain. I think I can handle the royal twins for one night."

A couple hours later... the two children had managed to knock over all the furniture in the living room with Naoto trying to catch them.

"Tag, your it!" Mace said as he sped by.

"I said bedtime." Naoto ordered.

"Then you hafta catch us like daddy does." Gemia said as she jumped over the T.V.

"Thats it!" Naoto slammed his left hand on the ground, causing two giant hands to come out of the marble and catch the two twins.

"So unfair." Gemia sighed.

XxXxXxX

The two hands still had a firm grip on the twins as they hovered over their beds.

"I want a story." Mace protested.

"I read you every book you have."

"Make one up!"

"Fine. once upon a time their was two royal twins that drove a Chieftain insane, and then went to bed. The end." With that the two hands released the twins, dropping them on to their beds, and transmuted back into the floor.

"That's the same on you made up last time." Mace pouted as he hit the mattress. He didn't think the fall was as fun as Gemia thought it was.

"Know you two settle down and I'll tuck you in soon. I have to make a call." Naoto slowly closed the door. "And no pillow fights."

"Yes sir." the twins answered.

XxXxXxX

Naoto turned the video-phone on.

"Keilara? can you hear me? H'lo."

"The reception is a little bad, but I can see you." The long red haired Mandalorian came up on the screen.

"I won't keep you long, I just want to see how you and police chief Adam are doing with the preparations for tomorrow."

"So far, so good." She said, but was soon pushed out of the way by an older man with short combed back hair and reading glasses.

"Hey, Naoto, how goes." He said. "Heard you got stuck babysitting. Maybe if you do a good enough job you can watch over this," he took out a picture of a little girl on a tricycle. " Look, can you believe how big Elly's gotten? She can even ride a tricycle now! She follows me everywhere on that thing like my own escort of cuteness."

"Yep, you're the same as ever Adam, nice and insane." Naoto sulked. "Now can I please talk to my fiancee?"

The visual shook around as Keilara took the camera from Adam. "As I was saying. Everything is fine here. I'm more worried about you. I mean you are watching over the Mandalord's children."

"They can be a handful," He sighed. "But they are as fast and cute as ever." he heard a noise from the twin's bedroom. "And asleep is they know what is good for them!"

"Gemia started it!" Mace yelled.

"So yeah, they're a handful, but fun. I probably should go."

"Alright. Just don't kill them. I love you."

"I love you too." He turned the phone off, and then opened the door to the twins bedroom. "I thought I told you two to settle--."

A pillow hit him in the face as the two twins blazed right past him.

"Jail break. Jail break." Mace yelled.

"If he catches you he'll put in the a metallic bed." Gemia joked.

"Fuzake n Na!" Naoto strapped himself with an arsenal of pillows. "PILLOW BARAGE OF DEATH!"

"No! our only weakness."

Outside, on the roof of an abandoned building. A dark eye watched the pillow war.

"I have eyes on the targets," he said. "No guards minus the babysitter, should Team C move in?"

"Negative." The commander said. "Our target is this planet's leader and his family. If they fall then this whole planet falls. Pack up and pull out."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Men!" A blond hair, blue eye, man snapped. "I don't need to remind you that we, as Britannian's, are on the verge of not taking an country, but taking an entire planet. It is our job to teach and educate these creatures that we are the dominating force. And tomorrow we'll show them that. Understood!?"

"Yes, my lord!" They all shouted.

Survival of the Fittest.

That law is extremely simple and powerful truth.

But that still doesn't make it right.

Next Time: Britannian Might v.s. Mandalorian Grit.

What if life has no laws?
