Several battlemages of Koryo unleashed whirlwinds and tornadoes onto the incoming hordes of Japanese infantries and tanks, trying to hurt and block them.

@Kuchenlein

As the Koryoen battlemages casts their wind magik towards the invading Japanese regiments, they failed to notice that their tanks is built with a magik-imbued armor that can deflect most of the magik attacks against them, protecting the infantries. Meanwhile, the Japanese infantries managed to get close with the Koryoens as they began attacking them with either their sword or rifles.

And right at this moment, fleets of skyships and bombers from Peiyang (west of Korea and Japan) appeared in the high skies, bombarding the frenzied Japanese with clusters of bombs and energyballs. Several other fleets of airplanes flew by and paradropped battalions of Peiyangese troops to the fray. The Peiyangese troops would join the Koryoans once making landfall, reinforcing the Koryoan ranks.

@Kuchenlein

"These bastards have Peiyang as their allies!" one of the infantry shouted.

"To hell with these fools!" their general called, "They're just calling for their own death wish. Now charge!"

Charging through the bombardment of the field by the Peiyangese fleet, as each of them were fearless from death and willing to do anything in the name of their Empire. It was not long enough until the Japanese Air-force arrived into the battlefield. The Japanese aircrafts were similar to their WW2 counterparts but improved with the latest technology and magik-powered.

The colonization of Australia has begun as the colonial forces of Steel-Born Alliance began to spread out throughout Australia. If they met with the humans, they either be forced to leave from their colony or execution under the law of the Steel-Born Alliance despite people were oblivious to their kind of Code of Law.

The massive movement of their colonial force has led to the attention of Australian government, seeing their colonization as a threat to their sovereignty.

Whampoa Version of Westernization

-- Tōhoku, Kingdom of Koryeo

Hours passed since the declaration, the Empire of Japan had initiated their first move towards their enemy, Kingdom of Koryeo, by invading Tōhoku with their numerous regiments consisting of tank divisions and infantry divisions which they've adopted Magik to greatly affect their strength. Moving their way to the region before halting themselves from seeing their foes in the distant.

"Sir!" one of the infantry spoken to its elite, "We are seeing our enemies' defenses in the great distance!"

The Koryoans in response welcomed the Japanese with warm missiles and guns outside their trenches and walls. Heavy fighting soon ensues.

@Kuchenlein

Their general soon pick up his binoculars as he faced towards the direction that his men pointed, seeing multiple Koryeons along with their guns and missiles within their trench. After some time, he brought it back to his bag, seeing nothing but laughing material.

"Hah! They think that's a weapon?" the Japanese general mocked before he ordered his men, "This is what you call a real weapon! Move the tanks to push through the defenses!"

"Japanese Tank"

Regiments of tanks roared their engine as they began to push through the Koryeon's defenses, easily maneuvered through the rough terrain and its armor plating absorbed the heavy firing of the Koryeon's missiles, nulling its damage. With the combination of Magik to enhanced both defenses and the firepower of each tanks, the Koryeons' were nothing but a mere pests in the giant's way.

While taking heavy fire from the enemy side, they retaliated back with their cannons, causing the Koryeons to suffer a scorching heat of the tanks' projectiles along with the massive force that pushed them from the projectiles' initial impact. As the Koryeon's defenses were weakened, it was enough for the general to lay out an 2nd move.

"All men!" the general shouted as he took his katana and raised it in the air, the old way of how they used to fight back in their old days, "Charge!"

Screaming their lungs into the thin air, they charged their way through the rocky terrain towards the Koryeon's trench with either their katana or magik-enhanced rifle in their hand, as several of Japanese infantries with their rifles fired at their enemies. Their general continued his battle cry to raise his men' morale for this battle.

"Show these betraying bastards a true power of our glorious empire!", the general shouted.

Being the return of their imperial times, also means the return of the blood of the innocents and evils in the hand of both sides. No matter how gruesome this war will be, no matter how the petals of the bright flowers will be tainted in blood, also means the honor and glory of both men in both sides, who sacrificed their noble lives in either for their dear family, or their patriotism and nationalism for their homeland and heritage.

-- Sea of Japan, Pacific Ocean

After the declaration of war, the naval power of the Empire has once again emerged back to the surface since World War 2. Thanks to the power of Magik, it enhanced many industries to build greater ships in greater numbers before the war. Their navies consisting of numerous battleships along with destroyers, warships, and their deadly submarines, having the numerical and firepower superiority in the open sea.

The navies also possessed with great wizards and sorcerers to greatly aid their naval power with magik, combining them with their defenses and weapons. The power of magik has greatly enhanced the military power of the Empire like the Westernization period which they greatly benefit from the western world back in the Meiji's era.

After hearing numerous declaration of war against their Empire from the Koryeo's allies, the Empire took their glorious navies into the open sea under the Field General Kitachi Hondurashu, a prominent figure of the Empire's military. Circling around homeland Japan, they took measure in gaining naval superiority of the Sea of Japan so that they could able to aid their land forces without the interruption of the enemies' navies.

As the Field General stood at the peak of one of the most prestigious battleship in the Empire, he kept a look-out for any incoming enemy navies with his binoculars, with the help of other men stood under scouting operation. After some time, a man approached at him, giving an information.

"Sir Hondurashu!" the man saluted, "Our men found the enemy ships under the Koryeo's allies! They're far from the North Japan but they're approaching fast."

"Report that to the HQ, rally up the 8th Naval Forces to guard that region." Kitachi ordered to his man.

"Yes, sir!" his man saluted before rushing back to report.

He stood back to the peak and faced towards the open sea of the Pacific Ocean, feeling the breeze flowing through the air. Sighing, he took a deep breath and look around the sea.

"Feels good to see such beauty of the sea, but sadly soon will be polluted with blood and oil during this war." he said to himself.

-- Imperial Palace, Tokyo

The two siblings were currently watching the news on the TV, about their father declaring a war against the Kingdom of Koryeo, surprising them.

"Really, dad?" Ayashi said after witnessing the declaration of War against Koryeo, "You're still in this 'real people of Japan' stuff?"

"On the bright side, this will greatly benefit our nation." Tamashi added.

"I don't care about this politic stuff!" Ayashi complained, "I'm more worried that the innocents will be affected in this war!"

"Hate to break it to you, Ayashi..." Tamashi sighed, "No matter what war is it, all innocent people will be affected to this."

Keeping her rage from blowing up, she sighed as she sat herself onto the couch, breathing in deep before exhaling out to cool herself. Why her father still doing this nationalism stuff? Taking a moment before a light bulb popped up above her head, she stood up from the couch and about to exit the room.

"Where are you going?" her brother asked, drinking his tea before her unexpected response.

"Flying to Kyushu." she casually answered.

"During the war?!" he spat out his tea out, "That's Royalist Whampoa's territorial occupation! What if they're going to find you there?!"

"Geez, get a grip of yourself!" she complained, "Besides, I'll disguise myself as a citizen."

"What if father is going to question me about this?"

"Just tell him that I went to vacation at Hawaii" she puts her tongue out.

"But Hawaii is already submerged so long ago!" he said but sadly Ayashi already left.

-- Somewhere in the desert, Australia

Three squadrons of Australian patrols happened to stumble upon these cyborgs.

Upon laying sight on these otherworldly cyborgs, these Australians encircled the robots immediately with their arms aiming at them.

"Oh, look, we have some metallic dags here! G'day!"
"This is the Australian Imperial Army, strange robots, identify yourselves please!"

@Kuchenlein

Upon meeting an unknown foreign sentients, only to be met in a rudest way. Being encircled by three unidentified beings with their weapons aimed towards at them, they didn't gave a single damn.

"Whatever you are, it's best for you to meet an foreign sentient in the polite way next time." the leading Mechan explorer said, "Beside, your puny weapons were no match for our technological capability."

From the portal, they heard a loud powerful roar of an engine, more louder than the convoys'. After some time later, a heavily-armed tank emerged out of the portal as it parks itself in front of the explorer and aimed its dual barrel towards the Australian army, showing its power and intimidation.

Steel-Born Tank

"We are the Colonial Forces of the Steel-Born Alliance, nation of the dominant power under Hegemonic Uniocracy in our home-world." the explorer introduced to them, "From the discovery of our prototype warping device, we are sent to colonize the unknown world to greatly benefit our nation with abundance of resources for our means."

"Whatever nation you're under with and knowing this land under the occupation of your nation, We'll give you a warning to your leader of this nation." the explorer said intimidatingly, "We're here to colonize this land as our first-step. You have two options: one, do not interfere with our actions and you may allow to flee and warn your leader about us. Or two, fight against us and we will take extreme measures against your nation."

"Carefully pick one option, sentient being.. " the explorer said, "However, the war is inevitable between the two of us, no matter the option you chose."

-- Somewhere in the different world..

"Administrator NVT-7X." the reporter called, "We've detected an unidentified intelligent sentient in the world we've sent to colonize."

"Do they have any form of nation or governance within their land?" the Administrator questioned, intrigued.

"Possibly, if so, what actions should the colonial forces act on?" the reporter said before some time later the Administrator spoken back.

"Siege their land by force, no matter the penalty we get by the foreign sentient."

Months passed since the event took place, but now it's the time for them to act from months of preparation for this day.

This will be the day that the Empire will begin to reclaim their former glory after the disaster took place, no more globalization, no more Whampoa but only the rising nationalism of what they used to be as the true Japan. The men armed up as their machinery follows, marching their way to the capital. Many unsuspecting citizens witnessed the march as they followed them, leading up to the Supreme Court.

In front of the building was the emperor himself, Kashimotto, along with the prime minister, Atto, as they inspect the march of their army which unexpectedly led many citizens to follow them. As the march is finally done, security personnel were present in heavy arms around the court, making sure the safety of their leaders.

"It's time, your Majesty." Atto cleared his throat.

Heard the response, the emperor make his way to the stage until reaching the desk with full of mics. Tapping the mic to test if they were on, which in return approved his assumption, he cleared his throat before began his speech.

"My fellow people of Japan, I'm sure you are all confused to what is taking place." he said, "In this very day, we've all seen how our very homeland degraded into abyss thanks to those foolish countries and imposters who made our land put in the tradition of our heritage into nothing but piles of trashes."

"In this day, we cannot tolerate those who had swept our heritage away from this world. We cannot accept those who's willing to erase the traditions, cultures, and the histories of our kind. We had seen sadly our kinds to be swept away, joining into what they so-called the New Generation of the world." He cleared his throat again before his next speech but surprising for his people.

"We are the last of our kind and heritage of the Japanese!" he shouted, "We are the only people left to restore our very form in this world, the form that we settled the best since the Edo period. People of our kinds lived happily in our homeland until the Whampoans has torn our land into divided, with many of our people brainwashed into a new identity through the many propaganda made by the Whampoans!"

Many of the people cheered and praised their emperor, understanding what their land had fell into, the trap of generosity gave by the Whampoans to manipulate them into joining their kind.

"No more foolishness, no more of their petty manipulations towards us, we are done with them! In this new era, we must reclaim on who owns the homeland of Japan since the ancient times. Those who would not comply with our wish, shall be subjugated by force under our newly reformed military might." the emperor said as he shown the Empire of Japan's reformed military forces towards their citizens, gaining their massive praise.

"Now my people, with this new might thanks to our effort of works for many months, we will able to put effort into driving them back into where they belong! Join us with our conquest against the imposters of this homeland, it would be a very honor to see your contribution towards our driving forces in respect of our ancestors.."

This where he officially ended his speech as the emperor gained a landslide of praise from his citizens, screaming their lungs into the air as their proudly raising the flag of the Empire of Japan, in favor becoming the patriots and nationalists of the empire. After this, the emperor walk back into the court as his guards safely guided him to the building, hindering anyone such as the interviewers to waste the emperor's time.

"You've done great, your Majesty." Atto complimented as he reunited with the emperor, "Soon, our ancestors will be proud for our deed effort in restoring our people's glory."

"Indeed it is, Atto." Emperor Kashimotto said, "After 2 hours from this speech, it's the official declaration of war, in first step, against the Kingdom of Koryeo."

-- Somewhere in the desert of Australia

Somewhere around the vast desert, a strange portal was formed in a strange, mysterious effect. After its formation, a strange figure appeared onto the burning sand, composing its own skin with metallic components along with a strange encrypted sound-wave produced from its own metallic helm before an another figure walked out from the portal with the same appearance.

"How's the environment?" an ominous robotic voice of the newly-arrived figure spoke in question.

"The temperature is decent, capable of holding lifeforms like our world. My own system can detect the smooth breeze of the wind." the other figure responded before facing its partner, "We can establish a colony onto this land, as the first step of our nation's achievement."

"Very well then." the figure nodded before grabbing its some sort of communication device, "The area is clear, set up a colony in this unidentified planet."

"Roger that, Unit TG2-P1." the device chattered, "Sending the squadrons onto the New World."

A roar of an engine was heard from the portal before later, a convoys of heavily-armored vehicles appeared out of the portal before numbers of robotic regiments marching out. This is was the starting period of the Colonization of the New World, as said by these strange forces.

Steel-Born Colonnia

Flag

The Autonomous Colony of the Steel-Born Alliance

Overview
Steel-Born Colonnia, also formally known as Colonial Administration of Steel-Born Colonnia, was the colony of one of the three superpower nations back in their world, established after the discovery of early quantum-warping technology by the Steel-Born Alliance, which were used for their military means but later as colonization after their experiment has developed a portal that links to Earth by accident, which is the start of their colonization period. However, because of the discovery which led the two remaining superpowers to be hostile and eager to expand their reign through the new world, the overlord redirected its control and changed it into an autonomous colony.

After the establishment of the colony, both resources and military supports from their overlord were pulled back due to their prioritization to hold against their neighboring nations. This has led them to continue to expand through the new world on their own, analyzing Earth's resources to use them for building up their industries for industrial and military uses. The colony has managed to expand their territorial control to nearly the whole Oceania, having enough available resources to buildup their industries for awhile before reverting back into expansionism.

Government
The nation was ruled under the unitary one-party Uniocratic government, which were inherited from their overlord. Like its kinds from their homeworld, they're tend to be xenophobic towards foreign species thus having an extreme foreign policies towards them. Their primary focus is to expand their reign throughout the world and expand their capability to be sufficient enough to either fight or defend against their foes. After the retraction of resources and military support from their overlord, they grew weary and planned to break out from being a colony by committing a revolutionary war against its overlord for independence but due to their position right now, they're holding it until they're ready.

All citizens were controlled under their governance, making covert actions within the nation by foreign nations nearly impossible to act as the people were a hive-minded society. The government have access to all means without any repercussions by their own people, allowing them to have more control, power, and authority within their grasp.

Society
Majority of the citizens were originated from their overlord, Steel-Born Alliance, during their colonization. Under the hive-minded society, they are programmed as the loyal follower of their ruling nation, being nationalistic and likely be xenophobic towards foreign civilizations.

Military
Most of its military techs were inherited from its overlord since the colonization of Oceania. They put their military forces in great mobility and firepower for their aggressive expansionism and durability of their defenses to protect their sovereignty from the foreign forces. Their means were similar to their overlord but they were applied more to be suitable on Earth's terrain.

They're consisting of numerous mechanized regiments, which tank squadrons were several percentage of the total military regiments. Their strategic doctrine were more of a mass assault doctrine, combining their numerical superiority with their firepower superiority thanks to their mechanization. However, because of the original resources for their army were stripped away thanks to their overlord's retraction, they used any Earth's resources that's capable and equipped along with their forces as much as possible.

-- Somewhere in the Pacific.

Waves flows through the direction of the wind, making ripples throughout the vast sea. As the school of fishes swam through the depths, something disturbed the sea, causing the fishes swam away immediately and the waves were getting higher than before. A loud sound of explosion is heard before a second later something struck down into the sea. It was revealed to be a battleship sailing through the sea along with its smaller ships, destroyers.

The cannon of the battleship later faced towards out of nowhere before firing through the horizon of the Pacific as a large wave is occurred by its projectile. Many sailors were spectating the firing of the battleship, praising in applauds before being cut off by a man who's a higher-up for them.

"Good work, my men." the man applauds, "I think that's for our naval exercise."

That man is named Kitachi Hondurashu. He's the Field Marshal of the Empire of Japan, notably for his contributions in helping their fight against the foes a long time ago, showing his scar on his face as an evidence of his contribution. He's strict for wanting his men to be well-shaped for the war by performing an exercise, both physically and mentally. The one who failed to perform the exercise would only results him to fire the man. Not much known for his relationships or companions because he's only loyalty is to the empire and the emperor.

While the fleet were sailing back into their empire, Kitachi went a stood at the tip of the battleship, looking at the majestic view of the Pacific ocean. Later, he received a unknown phone call. Picking up his phone and answered it.

"Hello?" he said.

"Heh, roger that." he smirked.

While the empire is experiencing an economic boom, receiving a massive income, the government discussed about the Whampoan Royalist's threat over their sovereignty. Some discussed about having an alliance which parts of them agreed while others discussed about empowering their sovereignty through military means, which most criticize it due it would cost bigger manpower and resources, especially how the size of their empire is right now.

The emperor left out disappointed, as instead, they approach in having a diplomatic ties with other country in the future.

-- Tokyo, Japan

As the night falls, the city brightens itself with a beautiful display ranging throughout the every streets and blocks. The authorities were also present in the city in sure of the protection to its people from unexpected crime and foreign spies, lurking in every dark alleys of the city. The people have fun talking to each other, finishing their busy jobs, and head back to their home to take a rest for the another day.

Within the city, Ayashi is wandering around the streets with her guards present around her, protecting her in the order of the Imperial family. People looked in awe at their beautiful Imperial princess, wanting to meet her and talk to her but she's not interested so she told her guards to distant them away from her. Reaching in front of many people watching the news on TV, she began to wondering in curious, looking at the TV as the crowd gave her space to watch the news.

@Kuchenlein
In the news, they discussed about the speech gave by the Grand Emperor of Whampoa, Berthold, with an empress beside him, Theresia. He gave a speech about the violence occurred in the southern part of Japan and condemned the people who's involved in physical violence against the peace protesters. After his speech, Theresia gave her speech but instead, she blamed the peace protesters for making this sudden violence happened. Berthold criticized her speech and suddenly, Theresia gone into madness as her selfishness took the view, shocking many people.

Before this news continued, Ayashi groaned as she immediately left the crowd, making them surprised as the guards followed her. After being away from the crowd's sight, she halted and took a deep breath to cool herself from her sudden anger burning inside her. Being noticed by one of her guard, the guard asked her politely.

"Your Imperial Highness?" the guard asked, "Is there something wrong?"

After being noticed, she got surprised by her guard, immediately trying to gain her stance back.
"Uh-No no! Not at all!" she repeatedly said, waving both of her hands.

"I see. Then my apology for asking you unprepared, your Imperial Highness." the guard bowed in apology.

After relieving herself, she continued to walk with her guards. While wandering, she's still thinking about that speech, the speech given by Theresia. Still feeling the anger inside, she can't help it but hold it for longer until the end of her tour.

'That bitch...' she ranted in her thought, 'Who has her right to say that the peaceful protesters is to be blamed for this riot? She's nothing but a selfish and narcissistic slut who ordered her own men for her interest, not for her people. Sad to think her people is brainwashed to her delusional beliefs but saying being a nation being the proud heir of Japan? She's has no fucking idea how the people of Japan felt during that time!'

Arriving into a restaurant, her guards stayed in front of the entrance as she been asked by the waitress and received a seat beside the window. She sat on her seat and sighed from her long travel, leaning back against her chair to take a rest. Waiting her order to be arrived, a person entered into the restaurant as she looked at the person, she became shocked in surprised.

"F-Father?!"

Hearing the familiar voice, her father looked at her, becoming surprised as well but happy to see her. He walked towards her and took a seat that is placed in front of her. As the time ticked on, she sweatdropped, being afraid of what will her father said about her going outside. The silence continues until her father spoke first.

"So... I assumed that you followed my advice?"

"I-I'M NOT A LONER, FATHER!" she shouted in the mixed emotion of anger and embarrassment, "I-I'm just taking a break!"

"I see..." he sighed, "I thought you'd be here for the remembrance on the other hand."

"Huh?" she got confused, "What do you mean 'remembrance'?"

After her statement, a thunder is heard from the distance. Suddenly, a moderate rain occurred as seeing the window being hit by every droplets of water from the sky. Wow, weather is sure running fast now.

He sighed as he leaned back against his chair in relief from stress. While her daughter, Ayashi, is still looking at him, wanting to know about this 'remembrance', he took a deep breath as he prepared to speak about it to her daughter.

"Do you know about this restaurant first before this night?" he asked.

"No, why?" she shrugged off, never seeing it in her memories.

"Since you are a baby and your brother is few years older than you, me and your mother always bring you two here. Your mother always look at your beautiful face with her beautiful blue-eyes, being happy around you, while I took care of your big brother, who kept whining about wanting to buy a toy he loves with my pocket money." he laughed, as Ayashi wanted to know more about it in her curiosity.

"Then what happened?"

"The moment when you finally opened your eyes for the first time.." he happily said, "As your mother called me in surprised, I looked and I, too, surprised as your big brother followed. You have a bright blue-eyes like your mother."

Before she could speak, her father continued...
"After this, your mother told me something, the 'something' that we would never forget."

"What did she said?.." she asked, with her tone gone lower.

"To the future from this day, I would be happy to see my daughter to grow up into something I wanted; a beautiful lovely woman with a strong heart, the heart not only us as a family but heart to your people."

After he reinstated her mother's quote, the room gone silent as the employees of the restaurant, overheard their conversion, stayed quiet and wait until they're done. After awhile, she looked down to the floor, showing her sadden emotion. Noticing this, her father stood up and walked to her, trying to relieving her until his daughter answered.

"D-Dad?.." she called, surprising him as she called him 'Dad' instead of her usual preference, 'Father'.

"Yes, Ayashi?"

"I-I missed h-her..." she stuttered as she looked up to him, showing her tears flowing down, "I-I missed m-mom.."

She burst out crying as the father hugged her, patting her back to calm her down. Even if the employees had their orders ready, they have to wait to respect them even if their food will going to cool down.

"Hush now, my dear child." he calmly said, "I missed her too, as well."

After this, she's now calm as she and her father walked back home. Even if they didn't took their orders, the guards took their orders and brought it to their home instead.

After a such vicious incident as the Pro-Whampoa protesters had their arms up, the Pro-Japan had taken no choice but to retreat from the now angry mobsters as they are not fully ready from their answer, violence. The street was once filled with a normal chanting, singing, and shouting like in all protest to a barbaric roar and screams of the feared, filling with destruction and bloodshed committed by the Taiwanese savages.

Around the rural areas of southern Japan, people, who supported for the independence of Japan, were in shocked as they hid themselves from the Taiwaneses' racial discrimination against the Japanese as it is saw in the barbaric riot. They took their time to wait for opportunity to help the people to reclaim the land they owned for hundreds of years from these savages.

-- Northern parts of mainland Japan, Koryo

As the fight goes on between the Pro-Japan protesters and Koryoans, other massive group of Pro-Japan protesters managed to reach in front of the court. They lined up horizontally as they kept roaring for their independence from the Koryo's occupation. Fortunately, no violence has been committed yet as the authorities were there, protecting the court from these protesters.

There has been rumors that the protestors changed the flag of Koryo into the flag of the Empire of Japan from every flag poles, again, and the taking down of the Koryo's monuments as they deemed as "savages who stole their land". Again it is rumors as people were unsure whether this is true or not.

People were enraged from this bloodshed riot, hearing the injures or deaths of the peaceful protesters by the sudden brutality of the Pro-Whampoa protesters. They also criticize the security of Royalist Whampoa for letting their own people to cause havocs towards the peaceful protesters by violent means.

The guards were lined up from the entrance of the Supreme Court to prevent then people from flooding into the court as many journalists were present in the scene, eagerly waiting to interview with the higher-ups.

As the door opened, revealing the prime minister, Atto, and the emperor of Japan, Kashimotto. Both were walking down from the stairway as many bright flashes were made by many cameras and many journalists were desperate to take a interview with them, only to be blocked by the guards.

They stepped up into the stage as the emperor walked towards a table with many microphones placed in it while the prime minister stopped beside him. The people gone silent after the emperor coughed, saying quiet, before preparing his speech.

"My people of Japan..." the emperor called in the microphones, "I hope you heard the sudden violence committed by the people of Royalist Whampoa against our people, who only protested in a peaceful means." he said, hearing the roar of the enraged people as an approval.

"Our founding land was splitted into two nations, who dared to claim our land, the land we owned for many hundreds of years, as their own.." another furious roar made by the people.

"Tokyo is the only city we fully controlled from these robbers, as we protect ourselves from these conquerors. No matter how hard they tried to change our people, they never change who we truly are." a massive cheer heard by the people, proudly waving their flag.

"In this era..." the emperor paused, "...we would not idle for far too long, not to do nothing that our people only suffered more from these madmans, and not to let our problems overtaken us!"

"They can keep name-calling us, mocking us, and painting us evil." He said before continuing, "But we would not tolerate them harming our people and society in such an unfair way!" following the massive roar of the people.

Hearing the massive roar of many people present in the scene, which many of them shouted for war. The emperor however disproves his people wishes, saying...

"I understand that you wanted a full declaration of war against them but it's not in the right opportunity." he clarified, "Our military was still in the preparation and their military right now is too much for a massive casualties.."

"Instead, we would find ways to infiltrate their weaknesses to fall without the need of aggressive attacks, thank you." he said before finally done with his speech, receiving massive praise and applauds, as he's stepping down from the stage along with the prime minister.

His vehicle finally arrived, along with heavy securities. The man opened the door for the emperor and the prime minister. After they're finally inside, he closed the door before the engine roared, drove off into the street being guided by the securities.

The Crown Prince Tamashi is seen around the docks, being guided by the royal guards. He's inspecting the imports that was sent from various countries under the request of his father, or importantly the emperor.

During his inspection, he had a talk with the advisor who is responsible for the importing of various needs for the stability and growth of the people and the empire.

"I assure you made a deep inspectation to these cargos, do you?" the Crown Prince questioned.

"Yes, your highness." the advisor confirmed, "So far, there's no illegal or dangerous components sent to these cargos. The workers did their best to make sure no sources can infiltrate the empire's economy."

These discussion had been continued while wandering around the docks as the workers present in the scene lined up and bow their head, respecting the Crown Prince. This has been continued until the advisor asked something...

"Uh, I know this is off-topic but..." he paused before continuing, "Where did you get that hand slap from?"

Tamashi didn't mind the red burning hand slap present from his left cheek. He had his day really taken as worst as ever..

"None of your concern.." he deadpanned at the advisor, frightening him.

"Uh, yes! My apology.." the advisor apologized, before continuing with their discussion about the issues.

After the protesters were attacked by the Koryoans, this caused them to be enraged as several protesters began to fight back, rushing with their stick and sign as their own weapon. This has turned the movement from peaceful protests into a violent riot, as the streets were filled with angry roars and destruction heard from the distance. Some either accidentally, or intentionally, made a severe damage on either electrical posts, cars' fuel, and other hazardous components, initiating a wild-spread fire throughout the cities, engulfing the unfortunate people into ashes.

This has been took as an opportunity for the Pro-Japanese activists as they successfully caught the tape of the Koryoans provoking a fight first against the Japanese protesters. It was then sent into the social media, getting viral in every seconds pass..

"Anonymous : OMG THESE DAMN KORYOTARDS!!!"
"Masimasi92 : These poor people only protest in a peaceful way, not a riot.."
"Xx_GengisKhan_xX : Those Koryoan bastards.."
"JakePaulFanboy : Dis mainland asians attacking the japs, dis koryos r racist!"

These were the comments received from the video. It managed to become the most viral video in the video-streaming platform, getting the attention of the mainstream media, or even likely the Western news.

-- Southern parts of Mainland Japan, Royalist Whampoa

As the counter-protesters continued to support the Royalist Whampoa, the Pro-Japanese protesters continued to fight back, like chanting multiple phrases, which is Anti-Whampoan messages, and singing the Empire of Japan's national anthem, proudly waving the flag of the Empire of Japan as they cheered from their anthem, being patriotic as ever. Some even booed the loyalists' songs and giving them insult with verbally and a finger.

"Go back to Taiwan, you Taiwanese bastards!"
"Screw these Chinese scums!"
"Be damned you brainwashed fools!"
"Japan is for the Japanese, not for the Chinese!"

Unlike before, the protests have grown more hostile but fortunately managed to keep their cool on. They continued to protest back and forth as the movements were starting to heating up. During the protest, there's a woman wearing a thick clothing with a microphone on her hand as she got a companion carrying a camera for news purposes which is facing towards her.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman, this is Tannashi Shima from Sakura News." she introduced, "Today, there's has been such a heated protests between the two large group on both sides." she told as she pointing her finger towards both of the groups: Pro-Japanese movements and Pro-Whampoan movements.

"In this group, which is the Pro-Japanese movement, they are protesting in demand for the restoration and independence of Japan from the Royalist Whampoan's occupation..." she explained as the camera zooms towards the Pro-Japanese protesters before zooming back and facing towards the other group, "...and here the other group is the Pro-Whampoan movement, they are counter-protesting against the Pro-Japanese movement as they expressed their support for the Royalist Whampoa. Luckily, no violence has been committed as we can see the Whampoan authorities here, guarding the area to make sure the protest would not go itself becoming dangerous.."

--Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan

A man is sitting on his sofa, watching the news on TV in front of him. The news involves a massive protests between the opposition and the supporting, the lady discuss about how this protest suddenly heated up in the southern part of mainland Japan, which is occupied by the Royalist Whampoa. Howevever, he suddenly get bored as he turned off the TV and laze back in his comfy sofa.

"Maaan, I'm bored.." a man that happens to be Crown Prince Tamashi.

He stared directly at the ceiling for a while, thinking something to do but unfortunately not. He's been thinking about calling his friend to join up with him for a party but sadly he forgot that he's currently in the military routines right now. Maybe he go back to tease his little sister, Ayashi? Maybe not since he's already done with her stone-hard slap for a day now. He's having a deep thinking for few minutes, before coming with an idea.

"I know!" he paused before realizing his idea, "Meh... All movies shown today weren't that interesting.."

"What are you doing?" a feminine voice called him.

"Ah, Ayashi!" he called, grabbing both of her shoulders, making her surprised, "Do you wanna to play video games with me?"

"Of course not!" she immediately refused, waving her hands, "I'm going outside for a while."

"Outside?" he questioned, knowing that his sister never wander around outside their home, "...to where?"

"It's none of your concerns, so deal with it."

She turned back as she packs her handbag and walking out of the room. Suddenly realizing why, he gave an evil smirk on his face.
"Why?" he playfully toned, "Is it... because you wanted to be with someone?"

Before she even stepped out of the door, she immediately froze from that statement alone. Her face was blushing hard, which is unfortunate that her brother sees it, and attempted to defend herself from her brother's idea of her.

"N-N-NO I'M NOT!" she stuttered, trying her best to cover her red-glowing blush, "W-Why would I be desperate to have a boyfriend?!"

"But your face said it all." he simply replied, making her even more embarrassed.

Before he even got to react, he immediately got pushed to the wall by Ayashi. He attempted to move himself but her strength is too much to fight back. Feared by knowing what will happened, he saw Ayashi's other hand raising up from the air. She spoke a single word, before he met the darkness once again.

"B-BAKA!" as the roaring sound of a slap can be heard from the distance..

After multiple videos about the Anti-Koryo protests gone viral throughout the social media and the news report, this has raised the people's concern about this sudden riot as perhaps multiple of them were starting to criticize the Koryo's government for this chaos. People also mourned for those who has lost their lives, even if they were Japanese or Koryoan.

This has been one of the most discussed topic in the social media, as many mainstream medias and commentary channels told their opinion about the riot, some of them were against on what the Koryoan did, while the other were more on the Japanese themselves. Journalist will sure love to interview people about this, either is for their interest or for the profit!

RACC : Hearts of Darkness

-- Supreme Court, Tokyo, Japan

In the office, a slightly-fat man, wearing a black suit with a stoic look, sitting on his on seat, writing and compiling his files placed on his desk. He doesn't seems to be tired nor bored from his work as he's doing his paperwork without showing any sign of emotions. After the papers were fully signed, he sighed as he leaned back in his seat, looking at the ceiling.

While taking a rest from his paperwork, he received a call from one of his officers, implying that the emperor is arriving into the court. From that, he stood up as he grabbed his files before leaving from his office. Outside, he's been greeted by many officers, giving them a handshake before arriving into the room, where the emperor would be met.

That man is Atto, the prime minister of the Second Empire of Japan. He's been one of the most respected man by many people, known for his workmanship and his patriotism for the empire. He's also a workaholic kind of person, taking priority on his works first before a social conversation with other people. He has been appointed by the emperor for his merit, possibly making him one of the best leader ever appointed in Japan.

The door entranced finally opened, revealing the emperor entering the room. Many people, including Atto, bowed their head towards the emperor as a sign of respect. The emperor approaches to Atto, exchange in handshake before Atto guide him around the building.

"It is such a honor to meet you, your majesty." Atto formally complimented.

"Indeed it is, prime minister Atto." the emperor said, "After all, your work should be praised enough for the future of our people and the empire."

Reaching the hallway, where the beautiful painting portraits, revealing the portraits of many Emperors of Japan, were hanged from the wall and multiple large flowerpots with a beautiful-looking plants were placed around the every corners of the hallway, being watered down by the employees. Both Atto and the emperor discussed each other about the current situation of the empire: social, industry, military, and economics, while walking throughout the hallway.

They continued their conversation until the emperor had something in mind, prompting him to stop in the middle of the hallway as the prime minister also stopped, kindly questioning the emperor.

"Is there something in mind you have, your majesty?"

"It's about the people" he said, "Our empire didn't really controlled much of the mainland. It worries me that the foreigners, who occupied other parts of our mainland, would discriminate our people outside our territory, either being treated unfairly by the society for the atrocities that our former emperors had done." he explained, referring the discrimination of Koreans and the other atrocities done in WWII.

The prime minister understood him as the emperor is approaching to the window, looking at the majestic city brighten by the ray of light. He suddenly get something in mind as he's grabbing one of the papers in his files.

"Fret not, your majesty." he told, "There's has been multiple movements occurring in both two nations about the rising nationalism of our people"

"Is that so, prime minister?" the emperor questioned, with his eyebrow raised in concern.

"Indeed, your majesty." he confirmed, giving his paper to the emperor as he read it, giving him a slight smile.

"So it seems that we underestimated ourselves. We really are heading into the right direction, right path for our people and the empire.."

However, this large movements did not only occurred in Southern Japan...

Every provinces received a massive protests in every streets but however there's something different about it to the other movements in the south. There has been a few incidents involving the burning of the Koryo flags, racial discrimination towards the Koreans, and replacement of the Koryo's flag with the flag of Second Empire of Japan in every flag poles. Although how violent the protests is, it never reach to its point by destruction of properties and hostile attacks towards the Koryo's local authorities.

Similar to the protests from the south, they demanded their independence from the Koryo's occupation and power, holding their signs up that is about Anti-Koryo movements. Anti-Koryo protesters were thrilled and praising the speeches of the Anti-Koryo celebrity, helping to fight against them for the former glory of True Japan.

This movements has been spread throughout the urban areas and later the rural ones, reaching itself to the local news reports about the massive Anti-Koryo movements occurring in every cities.

These Anti-Koryo and Anti-Whampoa movements has been numerously reported in every parts of Mainland Japan, making the most heated protests in the world. As how big this is, it has been reached into the Western news reports and social media. Many people of the New West and other parts of countries raised concern about this movement as many journalists would likely to ask their government about their opinions and concerns about these movements.

The bigger it gets, the bigger the activities is. Many shady pro-Japanese organizations took this opportunity to spread Pro-Japanese, Anti-Koryo, and Anti-Revitalist propaganda throughout the New West and social media, though there's other organization who's against the movements and praise the Koryo and the Revitalist instead.
