       The soldiers sat in the seats of the limo with caution, taking
       care to watch out for potential idiots who wanted to get near
       the Emperor. When all was finished with getting inside the cars,
       the soldiers closed the doors, sat back, and waited. They
       watched through the windows the speeding cityscape, finally
       approaching the Capitol. Every man knew what was on the other's
       mind: can we trust them with The Emperor? Sure they stopped an
       over eager man from getting near him, but no one except the
       Emperor knew or trusted whether he'd be safe here.
       They were even more worried when the car stopped at the Capitol
       building and there were rangers everywhere. They looked at
       Maximus, who nodded with a gentle, understanding smile. Even if
       he was a target, he knew how to take care of himself. His armor,
       and his skill would undoubtedly protect him. "It's quite alright
       boys. I've been in much more dangerous situations."
       "Sir, we'd still like to get out first." One of the soldiers
       said, and the Emperor nodded. How could he refuse? It was their
       job, and it was an honor to protect him.
       "How can I refuse? I could tell you to not worry, but then you'd
       worry even more. You're Honor Guard. The title has Honor in it,
       and it is something you are filled with. Honor. So with that in
       mind, I'd be happy to oblige." Maximus said, adjusting in his
       seat. He watched them, and a soldier pulled a pistol out of his
       backpack, handing it to him. "That's quite alright, friend. I
       have one in my holster, and I think my sword would do fine."
       "As you wish." The soldier said, and clipped the gas mask back
       into place, nodding at his Emperor. He got up, and got out into
       the sun and crowds. He was the machine gunner, and his large
       Bullpup LMG was quite visibly in his hands, his hand on the
       pistol grip, and one hand pushing himself out of the car.

       The Limos pulled up to the end of a long carpet heading up the
       capital steps. As at the airport the area had been cordoned off,
       this time by Rangers and Capitol Police. A special area had been
       set up for dignitaries on the steps just behind where the
       swearing in would take place. The driver got out and opened the
       door near the carpet. Standing there waiting to receive the
       Emperor was a familiar face, Calvin Peterson former Governor of
       the state and Former Vice President of the NeoConfederate
       States. As the Honor Guard exited the limo Peterson held his
       arms up expectantly. Looking at the guards he said, "Gentlemen
       you have a job to do, I could be carrying a weapon." Then
       looking in the vehicle he said, "Your highness, it is indeed a
       pleasure to see you again after such a long time. If the heat
       disagrees with you they are serving sweet tea and bourbon at the
       viewing area."

       King William and his delegation arrived in their limo to the
       capitol. The King got out of his vehicle and was protected by
       his 5 Royal Marines ad they got up the steps, exchanging glances
       with Calvin Peterson. "It is nice to see you here, Mr.
       President." They went into the viewing area, and the king got
       himself some bourbon. Little did he know of the crisis occurring
       back home.

       The King knew not of the crisis, but the Marines did. And they
       had decided to keep the king in the dark about it. It was
       horrible. Civilians massacred, Prince Charles dead, and marines
       dead as well. At first they didn't know what to think, but
       clarity came into the picture as Prince William had declared
       himself for the rebel cause. The king had been betrayed by his
       own son, and they had made their decisions. They would not side
       with those who shed innocent blood and shoot protesters. To do
       so was to support tyranny, and they valued freedom above all
       else. They would be the first chain reaction to start the
       revolution, the catalyst towards the unstoppable chain reaction
       of freedom. They were like a nuclear bomb reaching critical
       mass, and surely ready to explode, and light the earth with the
       fires of war. They looked at one another, and knew what had to
       be done to achieve their goals, and that of Prince William's, or
       rather soon to be King William's. The head marine, a chief
       lieutenant, took his rifle, stood behind the king, and fired
       right into the back of his head. The king crippled and slumped
       over, dead instantly from the shot at point blank range. The
       marines then turned the weapons in themselves, and committed
       suicide. Their sacrifice had been worth it. Heavenly Paradise
       would now be free.

       The honor guards were the first to frisk him, attempting to
       search the man for weapons. As expected, they found none, and
       nodded to Maximus, who stepped out of the car. He had his trench
       coat off, just leaving his normal military suit, albeit
       unbuttoned and the tie down a little. He smiled to the other
       soldiers, who took off their gas masks and coats, leaving their
       armor and cloaks on them. Maximus came up and held out his hand
       for the man to shake. "Hello again, my friend. It has been a
       long time. Thank you. Would you show me the way?"

       Soon retiring Governor Jefferson Davis Montead came down the
       steps from the capitol accompanying Governor Elect Matt
       Harrison. They both stopped at the podium set up on the steps
       and Montead took a set with the guests. A woman in robes
       carrying some sort of book walked to the podium. Natives
       whispered to the guests that she was Chief Justice Mary R.
       Russell. She held out the book and the Governor Elect put his
       hand on it. She then said, "Please repeat after me. I,Matt
       Armstrong Harrison, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully
       execute the Office of Governor of the Confederate State of
       Missouri, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect
       and defend the Constitution of the Confederate State of
       Missouri, and the Constitution of the NeoConfederate States,
       against all enemies, foreign and domestic so help me God." After
       the oath had been administered she turned to the assembled crowd
       and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen I now present the 39th Governor
       of the Confederate State of Missouri, Matt Armstrong Harrison."
       Governor Harrison then took the podium, and after tapping the
       microphone began, "Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow citizens,
       honored guests. As many of you may know I am the first Governor
       of Missouri elected on the Democratic Socialist ticket. Ever
       since the election returns first started trickling in and it was
       apparent that not only would our party win the Statehouse, but
       also both chambers of the General Assembly I began asking myself
       what had changed. The only answer I could come up with was that
       people were tired of the status quo." He then paused here for
       applause, "You are tired of the rich becoming richer on the
       backs of the poor. You are tired of being held in wage slavery
       while the men who run the corporations you work for exploit you
       for profit. You are tired of being told that bare minimum
       medical care is all you are entitled to. You are tired of
       utility companies exploiting for a profit the necessities of
       modern life. You are tired of being told only the rich may have
       access to a superior education." He then paused once again.
       After the pause he once again continued, "Next month there will
       appear on the ballot state wide two amendments to the
       Constitution of the Confederate State of Missouri. The first
       amendment will allow the Missouri Department of Labor to buy
       under right of eminent domain any company in excess of 100
       employees and then subsequently turn that company over to the
       existing employees, including management, who will each gain one
       share in the company. No such company will afterwards be allowed
       to sell stock and it will be up to the Employee Owners how the
       company will be managed. The second amendment will nationalize
       and make tax supported all public utilities and health care
       institutions. No longer will the citizens of Missouri have to
       fear losing the lights, heat, water, phone service, or any type
       of healthcare. All these institutions will fall under either the
       Missouri Public Service Commission or the Missouri Department of
       Health and Human Services."

       ((Because it's one of those things that you stop and think....
       Really? Why would this happen? To what point would it happen?
       For what reason is it happening? What on earth?
       There's only one reason you did that, and that's to just try and
       mess with me. If I hadn't told you what was going to happen,
       would you have killed the King in such a way? Or would you have
       done what you did in the same way? And would you have told me
       how the King didn't know before the soldiers in the same way
       that you did? Just wondering.))

       OOC: I didn't react to it because I was confused. The King
       showed up here for this event but was apparently killed in
       another thread? Everything that is going on in that other thread
       I was assuming was going on in Heavenly Paradise.
