When the King and Queen of New Mars announced they were going to have a child to the empire, every imperial civilian and military personnel were happy and ecstatic for them. As a symbol of hope for the empire was to be born. As the King and Queen have countlessly tried for hundreds of years, without success. That was until that faithful day.
Nine months went by and a baby girl, a Princess, was born. News of her birth spread like wild fire to the rest of the Empire and every civilian on every imperial controlled world celebrated the day of her birth. The Princess was named, Amara'Banon. She had long beautiful white hair, with a few stripes of brown here and there. She also had her mother's pretty purple eyes.
Doctors had run tests and other procedures to be sure the princess was in good health. And later discovered the child had the same Genes that made her parents extremely powerful. She had the same gene her parents had that made them immortal, and later testing showed she had telekinesis when she played with her toys, she would lift them high in the air from afar. And the parents themselves discovered she had gained telepathy after her mother, Queen Tyr'ahnee, spoke to her in her mind. And she would respond, it wasn't clear as her mind was still young and in development but still gave some sort of response.
This child was soon to be nick-named, "Goddess of the Empire", and everyone loved her as much as they did with the King and Queen.
But as the Citadel races continue to explore, it becomes increasingly harder and harder to hide their empire. It is soon decided by both the Martian Council and the Royals themselves, that they would make their presence known to the galaxy.
And thus where this chapter will begin.

(2156 EA New Mars; aboard the star capital ship Odyssey)
"Captain, is everything ready for our reveal to the galaxy?" Asked Nik'Banon to Captain Richardson of the Odyssey. To which he gave a salute and said professionally, "Yes you Majesty, our support cruisers are to be with us at all times, and are under the Command of Captain Ta'kaari." Begun the Captain, "in case things go absolutely haywire, weapon systems have already been powered up and shields are at seventy-five percent." Explained the Captain.
King Nik'Banon nods before saying, "That is good Captain, tell the Fleet we're leaving in five minutes." With a nod from the Captain, Nik'Banon turned his gaze and went up to his wife that was holding their child in her arms.
"Now who's a pretty little princess…that's right! You are, oh yes you are!" Tyr'ahnee said in a cute little baby voice, tickling Amara under her chin. "And how's our little 'Goddess of the Empire', is she doing fantastic." Nik'Banon said as he walked up and gave her Daughter a slight tickle on the torso. Causing the small child to giggle.
As a result Tyr'ahnee Giggled as well, "Yes my sweet, she is doing fine. However, I am worried to how the rest of the Galaxy will react to our appearance." Tyr'ahnee said expressing her worries. Nik'Banon caressed her cheek, which seemed to calm her a little bit, before saying. "Well I'm sure some will like us, while others will absolutely hate us. But in due time my wife." He begun, "We will have them prepared for the reapers, and alliances will be made and broken. But it is so we will live through the extinction cycle, so that our princess may live through it." Nik'Banon said finishing while looking at their little girl in their arms.
With a sigh she said, "I guess you're right." Before either of the two could make another statement, Captain Richardson came up to them. "Your Majesties, the fleet is ready for the Hyper-Jump, we're leaving the System now." Informed the Captain, "Thank you Captain, please inform us for when we arrive." Said Queen Tyr'ahnee, straightening her posture as best she could with a child in her arms.
"As you wish My Queen." The Captain said bowing a little bit, before turning away and walking off to help pilot the ship. The King and Queen look back at their Daughter, who had fallen asleep somehow fairly quickly, during their talk with the Captain. "I guess she's a fast sleeper." Nik'Banon Joked, Tyr'ahnee rolled her eyes as they both watched the space outside distort and warp as they were entering hyper-space.
"Hyper-jump Core is online: making Jump in 3…2…1…ignition." The ships AI, EDI, said counting down and then.
KUUUR-CLOOW! And the Odyssey was off again after several hundreds of years. Since its mission to colonize the first planets.
(55 seconds later: With the Citadel Council)
Councilor Tevos, during her down time she would lay down and watch a movie, chat with family, or anything to pass the time. Now is not the case as she and the rest of the Council, were arguing about the ever growing conspiracy of the Krogan Geno Phage.
"I honestly don't care if they're a sentient civilization or not, they're animals that need to be put in their place." Said an angered Spartacus, the Turian councilor had always managed to precede his species warmongering lifestyle. And while it did help in a lot of cases, it was also a big detriment. But it is the Turian military that helped the Council species.
"While we made the choice to further doom the species to extinction, it may also be time to help the Krogan for a change." Said the Salarian Councilor, Valefor, while his species created and distributed the Disease by order of the Turians, he had gained sympathies for them. He was perhaps one of the few Salarians that felt so.
"Well what about you Tevos? You haven't made a single notion yet." Said the Turian Councilor, Spartacus, in an inquisitive manner. "That is because we've been over this a thousand times, and yet we never come to a conclusion." She Begun with a tone serious enough to put a hardened Turian soldier in his place, drawing quizzitive looks from the Salarian and Turian Councilors.
"Sorry, it's just I've been having this weird feeling about today is all." Tevos said, rubbing her temples with her fingers slightly. "We've been having meetings and discussions without a break for weeks, I think it would do us well if took the next few days off." Suggested Valefor, understanding Tevos's situation. Spartacus sighed before giving his reply, "Agreed, we'll take a three day recess, this meeting of the Council is adjourned." He said, and they all took a step back and walked off the podium. Tevos looked to her colleagues before leaving to her chambers. "Well, have a nice three days-." She started to say, but was interrupted when her Omni-tool beeped. She was getting a call from C-sec.
"Ma'am we're picking up an anomaly appearing in front of the Citadel." Said an Officer on the other line, in a very nervous tone of voice. Curious about what was going on, Tevos asked. "What kind of anomaly doctor?" she said, and both Salarian and Turian council members were listening in.
"Unsure at this time, though you're more than welcome to check it out yourself if you like." The Officer suggested before ending the call. Looking back to her colleagues, she says with a tang of frivolous joy in her tone. "Now this day just got a whole lot more interesting, c'mon let's go see what all the fuss is about." She said going from stressed as a bed spring, to excited as a child with candy in seconds.
With no rebuttal or argument the other two councilors looked at each other with a shrug before following Tevos. 'I guess todays finally the day the Martian empire shows itself to the rest of the galaxy.' Tevos thought happily, as she continued to think about her Royal friends who she hasn't seen in a long while.
(Back aboard the Odyssey)
"Now Commander, while we're down on the Citadel. I want you and your troops to guard our child at all times, no one beside you or us gets near Amara. Got it." Ordered Queen Tyr'ahnee to Commander Zidran, to which he saluted to the Queen before saying with Affirmation. "Don't worry you're majesty, no one will get to her unless on your say-so." Tyr'ahnee nodded in satisfaction as she handed him the baby.
The small child looked to her mother with big, curious eyes. Holding her hand out to her, as if trying to reach for her mother. Tyr'ahnee noticed this and reached out to hold her daughters small little hand. "We will see you later my little sweet, mommy and daddy love you." Tyr'ahnee said in a whisper for her daughter to hear as she lets go of her daughters hand and heads to the shuttle bay with her husband following suite.
Before the King left the room, he turned to the commander and said. "Be sure you do your job well. I care about Amara just as much as her mother does, she's just a little protective." He said the last part earning a chuckle from both the Commander and himself. "I heard that!" said Queen Tyr'ahnee from down the hall, making Nik'Banon face palm before heading off towards Tyr'ahnees direction, and towards the shuttle bay.
However, their travel was cut short as a crew-men got in there way with a holo-spider droid. "Your majesties, we came out of hyper-space and are being hailed by the Citadel Council." He said as if out of breath. "Well what are you waiting for put them on." Said King Nik'Banon, and the crew-men placed the small spider droid down and its legs sprang out as it now stood on all fours.
And then light sprang from it, forming the image of the Citadel council. "This is Councilor Tevos speaking on behalf of the Citadel, by my sides are Councilors Spartacus and Valefor." Said Tevos in her usual diplomatic voice, but the King and Queen could hear she was glad to see them again. "Greetings Councilors, we are King Nik'Banon and Queen Tyr'ahnee'Banon of the Martian Empire." Greeted Nik'Banon, bowing as he introduced himself and his wife. "We bring no you no harm-." He begun but was rudely interrupted by the Turian Councilor.
"Keep in mind that you are now within Citadel space and are now under our jurisdiction, and it does not matter to me if you are Royalty." Said the Turian Councilor, Spartacus, and Tyr'ahnee was angered on how rude this Turian was and she would not have it. With a glare, she began her angered retort. "Now listen here Turian, we're here to make a peaceful entrance to the galactic stage, and that can change very quickly." She said threateningly, before Spartacus could rebuttal, Valefor spoke.
"I apologize for my colleague's rude behavior, his species war faring ways get in the way of his diplomatic duties." Stated the Salarian Councilor, the Queen calmed down only slightly. "Thank you Councilors, and Tevos its good to see you again." Said Tyr'ahnee, and then both the Salarian and Turian Councilors looked at Tevos in disbelief.
"You knew these people exist, and you didn't tell us!" exclaimed the Turian councilor in an angered manner, to which Tevos holds her hands up. "I will admit I held talks with them, and they wished of me not to tell the galaxy of their existence." Tevos said, admitting to the rest of the Council that she had secretive talks with leaders of the empire.
Nik'Banon finally spoke after a few minutes of argument. "Uh…I believe it would be best if we talked about this n person, and not over holographic projection." Nik'Banon stated, to which the Councilors actually agreed upon. "And besides we're already at our shuttle escort." He said whispering to his wife.
The holograms of the three councilors vanished as the Royals entered the large hangar bay of the Odyssey. Hearing the sounds of Marching, the Royals turn to see an officer and two platoons of soldiers were in marching formation singing some Jodies.
"I don't know but I've been told,
The Batarians need to be controlled.
We'll round 'em all up and put 'em in stock.
But first we gotta eat by Four a 'clock."
"Well I would say they're having fun." Nik'Banon quipped, causing Tyr'ahnee to roll her eyes at her husband. "Please Dearest that would be the biggest understatement of our immortal lives." She said as she got on the Shuttle, Nik'Banon shook his head side to side as he chuckled at his wife's response. He got on the Shuttle soon after.
A few minutes later the Shuttle, along with a few LAAT gunships that are carrying troops to escort the Royals, took off and headed towards the Citadel.

A/N: Okay not going to lie, but not my best chapter ever. And I admit I kind of went all over the place, and just got creative with it.
However, I still get amazing comments from you guys and that boosts my spirit. And to guests and other people who comment on grammatical errors. I apologize for that, and I also apologise for my story not making sense in any way, shape or form.
To those that asked, "Oh well why is getting now all of a sudden when she should've gotten preggers years ago." Boom! That question is answered in the first paragraph of the chapter and I hope that explains, if not I don't know what will.
I also got creative with the soldiers at the end there and that took me a minute or two. Also Lord Zidran gets another cameo this chapter, cause he's my man!
I know people are going to ask this also so I might as well get it out of the way, the reason the Royals brought the Princess or "Goddess of the Empire" as people in my story like to call her, with them is that well her mother is protective and stuffs….Nailed it!
Any way if you have questions or suggestions don't be a stanger, BUH-BYE!
