HiYuRyo: The heir To the empire

Chapter 1: Inner conflict

It was odd in Kyoto and other parts of Japan. Everyone was silent like really silent, army precesnes are everywhere and also theres also increasing midnight schedule for patrols even though they were not actually in a state of war

Hizu, Yukio and Ryogi was summoned to meet with General Hideoshi Taka, They were planning to send a survival kit for mountain researchers. While on the way with their plane, they heard the news about the situation at the capital where it was merely silent, no one talks or chats to Their close friends, its just..... Silence.... Turns out they are all silent because of what happened to the Imperial palace in that time which they don't want to disturb

"What's the point? Its just the Imperial family and nothing else" said Yukio

Hideoshi replied
"I know..... But it seems that people were also worried about what happened to them as well since the Imperial family is a symbol of unity to the people in these times."

Ryogi asked
"What happened to them?"

Hideoshi started to explain

"The Imperial family previously made a succession crisis when the population of the people is starting to decrease aswell and not just that, theres a faction splitted between the crown prince and the regent because of the selection of the crown prince from one faction believes it was illegitimate and unworthy because he doesn't have an experience in the army while his Brother, the regent does. Meanwhile the crown prince justified himself because the people itself support him due to his concerns to the population and his pacifist thougts that would keep law and order would be stable

In the middle of the crisis, a sudden movement known as the "Sakurakai" brought the Imperial family to a helicopter and temporarily exiled them to the safe house, leaving the crown prince and the regent behind. Because the crown trusted the regent to rescue the others, he was promoted to the armed forces chief general, and by that, he declared an emergency law to the state population, which resulted in the society today.

A few days later... We heard the news that the guy who was responsible for all of this was someone known as 'The Shogun'. He was the chief of the Sakurakai and today... The JSDF is still hunting this guy dead or alive"

"Well let us just hope they were able to be found," said Hizu

After a long talk. They arrived at the mountains and dropped the packages. But as they were going back to base, their engines started having trouble at mid-air. The trio tried to manage the ship controls but failed so they had no choice but to leave the plane crashed into the mountains while they had escaped with their chutes on.

On the ground meanwhile. The Sakurakai had just shot a plane (which is turns out was the plane that the trio and Taka's plane) as a distraction to the guards below. They were planned to kidnap the crown prince in his safehouse in the same mountain

And as the mansion guards is inspecting the plane. The Sakurakai rebels move into the mansion capture the crown prince with ease and run to the woods. Meanwhile, Hizu, Yukio, and Ryogi will find Hideoshi who is still stuck in a tree. And as they were walking on they saw the squad is securing the crown prince (Confusingly, They saw it as Hideoshi and not someone else)

"It's Hideoshi!" Said Yukio quietly
The crown prince at that time is suffering interrogations from the rebels and as they were just started. They had met their notable commander.... 'The Shogun'. The previous leader that they had just heard

"Sei-Taishogun-sama! Look what we found!" Said one Sakurakai soldier

As his cold steps approach the prince he grabs a metal stick seems like hes gonna whack him up

"Uhhh the hot-hearted people of the state is now in rage! As we finnally found the tyrant who did all of this! Exile his own family and removed everything just for power!" Said The Shogun by the cold tune

He removed the cloth that seals the prince's mouth

"Any words to defend yourself ?" He asked

The crown prince raged as he said

"You mu.... murderers bastard! Just tell me what have you done to my family!..... The regent was right .... All the words they said about you... You are the true villain!"

"Just tell me what have you done to them...." As he unfinished his words his mouth sealed once again with the same cloth

"This bastard had enough, Being a hothead and also a threat to everyone," said the Shogun.

Next, he commands to his companions

"Bring all available maps here! After we have the prince. It's time to invade the capital!"

Meanwhile, Hideoshi Taka (Who has similarities to the crown prince by face feature) is now unconscious on a tree branch and he tries to wake up. He was panicked and tried to scream for help

"ANYONE?! HELP!" He shouted but no one answered

"HELP!" He shouted again but as his legs moved, several branches started to break and his legs started to break away from the vines and he fell to the ground. The previous confused search parties had successfully found Hideoshi lying down unconscious to the ground and because he was similar to the crown prince one of them shouted

"It's the prince! He's unconscious!"

They all went down to look at his condition. As they land down they look at their eye condition as he saw his eyes moving and believes he is still alive. The security guards contacted the base to pick them up. After a short argument, they carry the prince (Hideoshi) to the castle and prepare to diagnose the problem, The doctor diagnoses them with a fine condition but a little bit dizzyness.

"So what are we gonna do?" ask the imperial guard chief

"Just make sure hes fine and did not suffer any frustation" Said the doctor

A few hours have passed, and as the sun nears the horizon, Hideoshi Taka, who now serves as the acting crown prince by unforeseen circumstances, awakens. He is astonished by his surroundings, finding himself within an imperial chamber filled with attendants. Upon gazing outside, he observes the banner of the House of Yamato flying high in the sky, indicating that he is indeed within the Imperial Palace, and realizing that he has been mistakenly identified as the crown prince.

Seeing this opportunity Hideoshi is gonna fix all the the mistakes from the previous government had caused
