A cloud of sand, left in the wake from the steam captain’s departure, amassed around the remaining members of New Babylon, who stood just outside the city’s gate, dumbfounded at the refusal made by one, Stephan Donnel.
Sasuke shook his head, reminded of the hostility commander Hammond’s lieutenant, Cody Smith, had once regarded Primes with, and was now beginning to understand why. The audacity and entitlement this prime exhibited was perplexing, for what cause had the steam captain forced Sasuke’s hand? Knowing what he must do, the Uchiha sighed.
“So, what do we do now?” questioned the confused psychic, Erik Vrell, “Do we accept the alcohol as repayment?”
Sasuke took a deep breath, “No, absolutely not.” He stated with a healthy assurance, “We go after him. He has refused to comply with the terms of a court order, and is now an enemy of the state. For guilt may not be abolished with feeble attempts at bribery, Erik. This is Nippur and in Nippur, we serve the King’s justice, not the Empire’s corruption. Can I trust you to serve the King’s justice?”
“Yes, my lord hand! Of Course! At your command!” replied the newest recruit of New Babylon, whilst offering a formal bow, the likes of which he had observed during the court audience of earlier.
“Then, make haste. We have bigger fish to fry than this steam captain!”
"For that," Shay yelled, "you're being put down, you poor excuse of a captain! Victor, NOW!"
Erik, alongside the duo of Shay and Victor, meshed well together, strategically pooling their wits, and descending upon the steam captain, with such team work, they nearly allowed for Victor’s blades to tear the captain’s defenses asunder.
Nearly, but not quite... He certainly took some damage, as Victor’s blades howled with a vigor Sasuke knew not he possessed, but Stephan Donnel was a f*cking tank of a man, and while he looked old as dirt, he shrugged off many assaults with ease. Feats Sasuke would have been impressed with, had the captain not been such a nuisance for his faction.
Irritation swelled within Sasuke. Here he was, playing ruler in a giant sandbox, and he was still no closer to achieving his revenge. Suddenly, a wild urge to abandon this city and its people, grew within him. What was he doing here? Had he lost sight? Lost focus? His heart raced as shame invoking thoughts of despair suffocated his conscious.
An image of Gilgamesh flashed within Sasuke, giving cause for reflection.
“Stand with me friend, enjoy in such splendor, as we rule with an iron fist of justice. No foul, rogue shinobi shall thrive under my reign, we shall out this foe, and you shall have your vengeance...” The gilded king of Nippur spoke as he strolled across his gleaming, chambers of gold, plucking a grape from an, also, golden goblet to eat from, “Or, have I not shown my divine right? Do you not wear that Grand Championship around your waist? Act as hand to his lordship, and there will be no measure to what we will accomplish.”
Sasuke’s took a deep breath and his eye’s flared open, displaying crimson pupils; his hands wild with the language of the shinobi. He had made his decision then and he would hold true to it now.
“OUT OF THE WAY!” Sasuke roared as a thunderous crackle boomed and copious amounts of lightning infused chakra, in the form of a bright, hot, white light burst into existence within Sasuke’s right hand. A beat later, he had closed the distance between him and the captain.
Beseeching sounds of a thousand birds screaming, pleading, and calling for death’s embrace, befell the drunken trader, as members of New Babylon followed Sasuke’s command and abandoned their current assaults to do so.
*BOOM*
The area surrounding the shinobi and his prey shook, as a blinding flash of white light consumed them. When it dissipated, Sasuke knew a giant crater would be left in its place, and he would be only too happy to repair it.
