Ven Avenor arrived at the EIRC with him going through security as his body was being scanned. Being one of the main technological wonders of the Empire of course it would be tight. As he entered the building he casually walked into the nearest elevator which lead to his floor he was heading. He continued to stare out into the horizon wondering what this Awdr Evaris is... he ya may have been an idiot sometimes he actually did his research on his way here just to figure out who the hell was he.
'A Man who came into power because of his father taking advantage of the moment, and somehow... connected to my parents and my elder brother. Figures why do every enemy I end up facing always I don't know wants me dead?'
He knew things could get worse now they had the current Chancellor breathing down their necks but still!! As he entered the floor he was heading to he soon ran into both Doctor Elizabeth and Doctor Luka.
"Ah perfect timing Lord Ven, we are about to begin testing the Mark II now and were waiting for you.", Doctor Luka soon said well pushing toward the dressing room.
After some time Ven was inside the Power Armor doing simple tests to see if there was no problems within the hardware.
"Hrmm... so far so good Doctor it seems the Power Armor is completely stable and the problems of the Mark I is looking fixed. Though obviously the actual flight parts won't be ready I believe we should be ready in a day for a actual trial run.", Doctor Elizabeth said from her console.
"Good good within a matter of weeks we finally are able to push to the next step... though the Mark III will still need another month before its ready at least now the actual body is mostly completed...", Doctor Luka said going over his data.
"Ven everything is looking good tomorrow can you come back to begin trial testing the Mark II?", Elizabeth said over the communication device that rang inside his Power Armor.
"Right...", Ven soon replied.
As he exited the EIRC building he was slowly making his way toward the nearest air carriage only to bump into another person.
"Oh sorry about tha-", Ven managed to say only to see a beautiful woman.
To Ven he seen plenty and could even rival Countess Darcy, regardless he helped her up to her feet who fell.
"No no its my own fault I wasn't looking where I was going.", the woman soon said.
"I see...", Ven managed to say only to noticed she was looking for something.
"Is there something wrong?", Ven soon inquired.
"Uh Oh~! Yes.... where are we?", she soon asked.
"Your within the Research Section of the city normally most regular people hardly come here except on business.", Ven soon replied.
"I see... er.... could you help me for a second I am trying to find the 97th District but got lost.", she soon said.
"Oh... that is easy that is on the way toward Academia Surpemus, you know I could help you by using the air carriage.", Ven soon suggested.
"Oh no I couldn't do..", she was saying but Ven insisted.
As both he and the woman entered the air carriage the woman sat on the other end as it flew toward its destination.
"So... why were you doing in EIRC?", the woman asked.
"Well.. I am a test pilot for one of the new power armors so... its sort of my job.", Ven said as he was looking at his data pad.
"A job why would a noble of one of the Great Houses need to work at a Imperial division where he didn't have to.", the woman soon said which made Ven stop in mid thought.
'Wait... I didn't say anything being from one of the Great... Oh Fuck.'
Ven soon saw a hidden blade charge at him at top speed soon after.

(Before Emperor's Death)
"GAH!!", Ven managed to say as he dodged the incoming knife.
"Just be a good little boy and die already!", the woman said.
"Err Sorry but I can't do that you see...", Ven managed to say only to activate his nano cube which soon appeared as a katana.
Soon they both struggled within the air carriage as Ven dodge and deflected as many weapons as he could. Soon Ven kicked the assassin back Ven took the moment to kick the women's weapons off her hand. After doing so quickly Ven try to get out only for the air carriage to suddenly fall downwards.
"What the hell?!!", both he and the assassin said as the air carriage automatically started to head in a brand new direction. Soon was coming up into a wall which Ven finally managed to break the door open then jumped out right behind him the assassin only to see an explosion from the carriage.
"Err... what the hell was that about?", Ven soon asked out loud only for a couple cloaked power armored troops soon appeared before them guns aimed at them.
"Uhh friends of yours?", Ven asked.
The assassin soon shook her head and replies, "Their not my friends."
"Marquis Ven Avenor? Your to come with us... now!!", one of them soon shouted.
"And why would why do that to a couple of armed men who are aiming at me right now?", Ven asked.
"This is no concern both of you surrender now or we will use force!!", the lead man soon said.
"Well I guess our little fight will have to stop for now...", Ven soon said as he raised his hand in surrender so did the assassin.
(Some time Later)
As they were lead by the men in handcuffs into a few cells Ven noticed there was one cell already occupied there was a silver haired light brown skinned woman with one red and one orange eye. She was sitting in one of the cells next to his as he was put in there. The assassin that he was fighting was put in the cell to his left making him between him. Ven finally took note of the assassin now, first off she had black hair as well red eyes too likely modified to see in the dark. Her figure as well was to note not bad at all still who were these people who captured them he didn't know.
As time passed Ven paced in his cell at the annoyance of the assassin soon saying, "Stop pacing now that is annoying."
Ven continued to pace then says, "Annoying? What is annoying I am trying to head home and you go and try to kill me. Regardless who the fuck are these guys anyways? Paramilitary training using advance weapons reminds me of the Imperial troops but completely different. Are you sure these are not friends of yours?"
The woman to his right in her cell continued to be silent as she heard the argument to the two new guests. She too wondered who they were and why they were in this place. Its been a week since her capture and barely been in this cell not too long ago as well. She didn't even know what planet she was on so she kept silent as she continuously listened to her new guests.
"As you may or may not know their not first off my loyalty is within the team I am apart of not these people. Second off I was to kill you but seeing as I can see why your hard to kill as the rumors been going were not over exaggerating.", she replied.
"Oh team I take your under orders from Duke Adwr Evaris perhaps?", Ven asked knowing there was only one guy who would dare put a hit on him, wait there is a ton of people who wanted Ven dead.
"My yes... you figured it out anyways..", the woman soon said only for the door to finally fully revealing a man in a suit.
He had brown grayed out hair and seemed to be in his late 50s he walked between the three cells which all three of his guests were silent.
"Uhh who are you?", Ven soon managed to end the silence.
"Rude and blunt as I heard... a little slow in the mind yes... I can see the resemblance to your father and grandmother.", the man soon said.
"Err wait who are you and how you know I look like!", Ven managed to asked.
"Oh pardon me time is the essence... you may call me The Prophet Marquis Ven Avenor.", The Prophet soon said which the girl to his right soon jumped at the time.
"Oh how cliche... don't tell me your a religious zealot now?", Ven soon asked.
"Oh no not a religious one more of an idealistic one.", the Prophet replied which Ven soon sighed.
"Great we got a terrorist rebel...", Ven muttered.
"Now now... I am not going to kill any of you... you see you may or may not know we have an ideal that is similar. The way you treat your people kindly and act less a noble and more of a commoner. I represent an ideal that all men and women are created equal that we to better mankind as a whole no one is superior to anyone. You see I captured you tonight because your time in the Academia is over.", The Prophet soon said.
"Over? What you mean I barely got there not too long ago.", Ven soon said.
"There is a reason why I am called the Prophet... and know for a fact after today everything is going to change and not for the better. The Empire is in a transition that will only bring blood and destruction to the human race only a few will survive and the bodies filling the galaxy will be beyond counting.", The Prophet soon said.
"Uh huh I take your the one going to lead this bloodly revolution by sparking an 4th Republican Rebellion I take?", Ven asked.
"You be is probably bluffing the Empire and the Noble Houses can easily put that down as they all had before.", the woman to his left soon said.
"Ah Dame Kim Lan of The Phantom Pain a group of knights and mercenaries who serve Duke Awdr Evaris... I see the Duke wanted revenge after House Avenor humiliated his him personally multiple times. And to think their best assassin failed... ha.", The Prophet said with Ven now taking note of who she is now.
For a brief moment all was silent with Ven then asking, "So what will happen with us now?"
"As I said your Academia days are over and I need you for certain tasks at hand. Only you Ven... only you are able to help me. But first we must leave the Escalon soon it will be quite dangerous in the next 48 hours.", The Prophet soon said.
"Well whatever it is I don't want to deal with it!!", Ven soon shouted.
Suddenly a gun was pointed and fired at ven directly into his chest specifically the heart but instead of a bullet it was an gun which fired seemed to be a tranq gun.
"Wha...", Ven managed to say with The Prophet soon saying, "Do not worry it is just some insurance... the technology in it in something no human would understand... do not worry you will be fine in twelve hours. We shall meet again when we leave the capital until then."
The Prophet soon left the room with everything soon going dark.

Ven was dreaming he was back on Aurlia's Palace gardens when he was still a youth once more. Walking through the nostalgic place made him smile, everything meeting different children he played with when he was young. He continued on through until he finally got to his destination a girl with green hair turned and smiled waving him over. Ven compiled running towards her and began to play whatever games he played by then with her. As this feeling this dream felt so real he was peaceful til suddenly he fell the girl was soon gone and he kept falling and falling into the darkness. He soon turned unable to see anything only the girl appeared before him again soon saying, "You got to remember, you got to or all will be lost... their coming again and all will be destroyed."
"Wha? Wait what do you mean?!!", Ven asked the girl who turned around.
"Please remember we giving you a chance so please remember so all of that work is for nothing m'kay?", the girl said soon disappearing with Ven left alone and slowly began to awake.
"Damn Marquis Avenor... what did they do to him?", one voice which he recognized soon realizing he was being semi carried and semi dragged through a corridor he didn't recognize.
"I am not sure... Alexis what is the time frame for that exit?!!", another voice he didn't recognize soon shouted.
"My Lady I found an exit but be careful enemy contacts are coming our way!!", an voice that sounded semi computerized soon said.
"Damn it their catching up move move move!!", another voice yelled.
As they continued through Ven managed to open his eyes and his vision was still blurred out he was slowly regaining his senses but was not in the cell before. Soon they came to a stop with one female voice soon shouts, "Alexis there is nothing here but an dead end!!"
"Fuck their right behind us!!", another voice soon said only for an explosion to rock near them sending Ven to the ground with his ears ringing.
He soon regained his senses finally opening his eyes too look around. He saw the assassin Kim Lan from before as well as the one to his right but what he didn't expect was Dame Felicia Quinlan as the one carrying him in her power armor.
"Wha... what is going on Ven managed to say only for the once wall was now a hole noticed an power armor he recognized.
"Ben..?" , Ven asked as he just his cousin.
"Fucking Ven always getting into trouble that I got to bail you out on!! Come on no time Blackguard Security Forces will be here any minute!!", Ben soon said helping everyone up to go through the hole he made.
"Blackguard who the fuck are they?", Ven managed to ask only for Ben saying, "No time for that but we need to get you to the Academia until further notice. Countess Darcy and your Project Destiny friends are all there waiting at Avenor Mansion."
"Fine but I need an explanation what the hell is going on when we do!!", Ven shouted as he made their way out of the place they were held til they got outside.
Ven noticed it was daylight now likely he slept through the night as he continued running well enemy forces fired at them with standard military issued rail guns at their group as an special transport soon came to pick them up. Jumping on to the transport as Ben, Felicia, and the other prisoner fired back as they got on. Soon they flew away towards Academia Supremus.
"What... what the fuck was that and what the fuck is going on?", Ven asked outloud.
"Ven... can't explain much yet but... there is trouble..", Ben managed to say.
"Trouble? What kind of trouble?", Ven asked.
"Ven... the Emperor is dead.", Ben replied which stopped Ven's words in his tracks.
