Tachibana Palace

Pre War

Tachibana opens his eyes looking around the room and goes back to sleep ignoring Yuno violently shaking him.

"Hey, you've got some explaining to do." She grabs his arm and pulls with everything she's got only to have Tachibana turn his hand and pull her forward with ease.

He turns and pecks her cheek, "Can we talk about this later he might kidnap Hitori you know." Yuno pulls him out of bed and he sits up rolling his eyes, "I thought you were letting me rest."

Yuno points to the intruder, "You said you'd stop making decisions without me yet here we are."

"It's self-explanatory though, he's his biological father and we .."

A big explosion echoes followed by a huge cloud of smoke. Kai is in the epicentre of all this chaos, "Dude, run they work for President Sawamura he hates Supers I doubt he's here to put on a show."

Kai pushes past the crowd noticing a drone that is specifically locked on him. He notices another one targeting his classmate hooking itself to her spine before she falls down.

"Enough!" A loud female voice shouts stopping everyone in their tracks. Kai looks up and the Empress is standing with her army of military soldiers all wearing black cloaks.

"I am still president and I am the law all these so called, Supers, will from now until my time at the seat of presidency is over have a curfew.

"Anyone who is a Super no matter what age or what your occupation is when the clock strikes 8PM these drones will be let loose, and if you are found outside you will be taken and no one will hear from you again."

Kai calls Tachibana who is already on his way making calls to ensure that Kai is safe. Ackerman stands next to Kai, "You okay?"

"My friend, what did that thing do to her?" Kai takes a step in her direction but Ackerman lightly pulls him back.

"Don't worry they are harmless it's where he plans to take her that's the problem, for now calm down and stay close to me Sawamura is only giving people a reason to not vote for him next year.

"60% of the population are kids like you with abilities and no parent in their right minds would wish for a world that will only make things harder for them."

"If he's the president shouldn't he be smarter then that?"

"Not everything is so black and white anymore it could be mind control. A big ploy to get him taken of the seat and have someone else take his place.

"Should he step down deputy president Sukowa is taking over, and you can sure as hell expect all hell to break loose for people like us, he hates us with every fibre of his being."

"What about Yuno and Tori?"

"They're with Sensen." Ackerman replies with a relaxed tone and looks around for Tachibana.

"What the hell is the old lady going to do? Who's protecting them?"

"Calm down, your sister is safe worry about yourself we don't stand a chance. The Empress can't do much for us."

"If she wants to remain the Empress she better do something." Kai looks around hoping he will see Tachibana, but the man their both looking for currently has his own drone following him around and it's hard for him to shake it off without setting a bad example to the people.

An all out war is something he does not want to spark. People in black cloaks destroy the drones giving him an opening to reach Ackerman faster.

The Empress has more soldiers and the peoples support no matter what. The Supers are a product of her mistake she won't sit back and let this stand by, "You will not touch these children or any of my people.
