A palace gourd was looking at the night sky.He was dresed in a military style uniform and armed with a rifle.He looked more like a stormtrooper that a ceremonial gourd,but that was the new king first order to armed the gourd as good as posible.They recived new training in close curoters combat.But that didnt helped him as a steel wire thingtend aroud his neck.He did the first moust basic thing that came to mind he grabed the wire aroung his trout tryed to strugle call for help. But life soon escaped his being.
His assasin a tall well bild men with a mask on and drest all black relised his grip.And went on to his target ,the kings qorters.He run the distance from the fence to the wall of the palace and started climing the column to the kings balcony.With a cat like moves he walk trou the open window and enterd the room were the kings beadroom was he aproched the bead to strike the kiling blow to the young king.Dagger in his hand he moved the curatains his hand reside.
The bead was empty.
'hes not here'the assasin thot'his office'
And quaietly open the doors to the office and imidletly recognise the slim figure of the king standing by the oposite wall.
'ten meters,short sprint,I will get him before his guard rush in,Screem all you want it wont save you'
But the king didnt screemed he did something suprising he picked up to knives that lay on the shelf behing him two butterfly knives"Motylki"how he called them and opened them with a swift motion.
The assasin was suprised to say the least'Why arent you screeming for help'.
Juan was shorted and smaller that the attacker he had little chance to overpower the man but he didnt intended to.
The assain charege with the dagger held high,Juan ducked and roled at the attackers legs both men found them selfs at the floor.The Jumped to there feet as started circling each other.Juan leand foward held his hands far apart with a knife in each one ready to attack with a quick succesion of fast slashes,assasin in an upright position held his dagger high ready for a powerfull downswing.
Both men were ready to dance the dance of death
The assasin made a move a simple powerfull vertical slash aimed for the kings corpus,Juan made a dive to the right avoiding what was sopose to be his death he gatherd him self with an instant and charge the attacker exposed side he was not quick enought the assasin avoided the attack by juping clean of Juans path.
They started circling each other again back to sqeare one.
Assasin reapeated his attack,he wonted to kill Juan we he repeat his attempt at sriking him from the side by driving his dagger from a low position for a down up strike.But this time Juan did not jumped to the side he pivoted his corpus 90 degrese making the attack miss by an inch and deliverd one quick srike with his right hand knife driving it bethin the assasins ribs his left hand drived it knife in the assasind solar plexus.The larger man fall to the ground.
The fight was over assasin dead.
"Security"yeald the young king.
Ten man with guns in there hand stormed it to the room.
"Tell the watch comander that he is fired."Juan sead."And get this man out of the room"he added pointing to the corps.
"Sir are You allrigth?"Ask the gourdsmen
"Never better"Anserd the king.'some one gonna pay for this' he thot"Tell the Interligence cordinator that I want to see him first thing tomorow.


OOC:Did any one liked it?Its a start of a new sidestory.
If any one is interested he may highjack this tread.

Go on. It seems the Spanish king is a healty young man with strange hobbies.

You would expect a royal person to be well versed in the use of the dueling pistol or the foil (light rapier). But not in the gutterweapon, a knife.

OOC:Write what you know.I have sean knife fight's on numerus occasion but never see a gun fired(thank god) or a sword figth(I dont think any one did in a 100 years) so thats why I desided to use a butterfly knife in this story.

QUOTE
Senor Batistuta Inteligence Coordinator was trembling with fear,he have faild his majesty.Now he was standing in front of a large desk on it other side was a man that 5 hours earlyer was fighting for his life.The room was full of armed men on the desk were 2 pistols within an arms reach of the king.The room it self had no windows so that no snipers treat egsisted
"I will as you qeastions,and I dont want excuses"sead Juan with in a calm tone
"Yes Sir."replayed Batistuta.he was sweting profusly
"Who was that man I kiled?"
"A former ACM citizent with the fall of that power many inteligence and black ops personel funded them self with out an employer"talking calmed him down but he know that soon king will as him something that he will not have an anser for.
"Who was he working for"That words we ones that Batistuta feard
"Sir oure resorce are thin we have an large forein network but oure internal forces are no were near what we nead.We suspect that Prince Amadeo wishes to assainate You and grab power for him self"
"So you are looking for a domestic enemy and not an outside power."
"Sir Foreing power cannot be ruled out but I strongly belive its a domestic matter"
"For a man that looks like gonna have a heart attack any minut.You ansers are impresive"
Batistuta didnt say anything simply becose he didnt know what to say.
"Price Amadeo dosnt strike me as a person that can order something like that there are cleaner ways to get power.Poison is something that oure country is famed for in history"
"Your majesty Your tea"a servant put a cup of the on the desk infront on Juan.
King looked at the cup with a blank expresion and paled, sudenly he didnt wonted to drink it any more.
"Senor Batistuda do You care for some tea?"sayed Juan with a smile.
Batistuda eyes looked like they gonna durst out of his scull.
"That was a joke"Sead the king"relax You can go now and find out who is out to get me"
Inteligence Coordinator bowed deaply and left the room
Juan was un confortable with all of this there were 20 men in the room with him he was more of a lowner.He preferd to be alone.He hoped that he will not get any mental illnes out of this.
He watch the man they were looking on him with a new fund admiration,he didnt know why he defeated one men in combat any one of them was a better figther that him assasins were people that striked from the shodows and they were not good fighting some one that is preperd for them.The palace was now a virtual fortress funny it was bild as a fortress to begine with,MG stations were on the roof and armed palace gaurd were in every coridor every corner his guard commander asked to put altylery empalcents on the palace ground but Juan denide that reqest the region around the palace was a staging point of the 12th infantry devision that was enought protection for him.Why didnt he sean this coming there was an easy anser for that NS war half a world away and he didnt see what was hapening is his own back yard.His mother was shiped to spanish sahara to a summer palace he didnt wanted that anything happend to her,hmm he has to name something after her.some how all of this felt wrong Amadeo had no way to get the throne eaven if he get succedes in this assasination that is no way to get power in the event of kings death Grand Admiral Gabriel Garcia Marquez will get the crown Juan made certain of that.What was all of this it didnt made sense.It didnt made sens


I apologise for weak qality of this post next time I will not make things up as i go along.

QUOTE
From a hill an old men was observing the palace.
"What do you think?"an young girl asked him
"This is moust unfortunet they have enought fire power to hold a devision."
"So we have no chance?"
"There is always a chance,didnt I learn You anything?"
"You told me to back out if things get messy.I call this realy messy."
"Messy?This is not messy.This is only a minor setback.Oure employers lost a assasin a preaty bad one at that not handling a young aristocrat.Ha"
"You also told me not to underastemate your opponent.You are cleary underastimating him"
"Ow and how am I underestimating him?"
"He is young and energetic he kiled a man twice his size.He gather a loyal folowing in his goverment.And moust of all former king desided to give him the nation over his own son not that speaks volume's about the man"
"Eva you realy admire him"
"I only meet him once and he made a strong impresion on me.He is a man how's will is as strong a steel"
"I meet many man like him older and wiser that this pup,I outsmarted them and kiled man twice his caliber"
"Dont start with that it dosnt impress me since i was seventeen"the girl added with a smile.
"And that was when? A year ago?"
"Come on you know my age.So what is the plan?"
"The plan is simple.Get in kill the king go home for tea"
"Haha What am I sopose to do?"
"You are to do the going home part, You will not acompany my on this endevor"
"What! I was working with you for 10 years and now you want me to sit on my hands and wait I can do this I can add you I can..."
"Remember what I told You about not gambling more that You nead"
"Yes but..."
"No buts I will not gamble Your life when I dont have to there will be a 1000 men in this operation one girl will not make a difrence"
"Im not just a girl"she histed
"This discusion is over"
Both went down hill towards the road.

current events

"Hello Monsier Palpaté"
"Thanks Premier Jardan, we have a lot to talk about, but first things first. The attempted assassination on King Juan III"

"What background do we have? What information did we miss?"

"Actualy Premier, we don't know a lot, only that the attempt was organised in Spain, but outside money is involved. A few things are sure. King Juan III has enemies, most in Spain itself. The crown prince for example."

"How do you know the crown prince is a real enemy?
My impression was that that guy was only interested in his own pleasures. He hits the spirits a bit hard to live long if you ask me.
Being king would be to much work for him, so it wouldn't come up to him to go for the throne at last"

"Yes Premier, but the crown prince has advisors, and some of those contacted our consulate to gain support for "the rightfull heir". Our people told them that this request is forwarded to the right people. This gives us time to see who we would support, or to stay neutral."

"We stay neutral, unless the peace in Europe is treathened. If that happens, we'll use diplomacy the hard way to make the treath a thing of the past. Also, your people sure that New Swiss isn't involved. They have everything to gain with unrest in Spain. It's a fact that Spain will go to war with NS, and that King Juan III has a serious case of "orientitis", a kind of admiration for the Middle Kingdom."

"Then this matter is discussed, Premier, now to the plans for the great Canal."

"Oh, that thing. What is the pricetag now, with the newest idea's of the professors and their students? And I hope they try to design something else that that multimilion tons Ferris wheel elevator to get over the continental divide"

"No , I'm afraid the professors are rather attached to the idea. And yes, the pricetag is getting humongous. But the accountants did point out that our budget fot warship building does nicely, if we don't construct new warships for the next 8 years, and keep the fleet at 75%. No modernisations, but no scrapping either. If we want the great canal inside 8 years, it's the only way to do it. Luckely that the UKA engineers are willing to share their very powerfull steam technology to build this canal."

"Monsier Palpaté, you know that Rimauld and DeCreme did buy this expertice at a very high price. And I still want to know who of the 2 did arrange those contracts for the 5 cruisers and the rebuild of Devestation. And why the renaming to Gargantua?"

" For the cruisers, we are investigating the paper trail, but up untill now, we don't find anything wrong with the contracts themselfs. The only thing that we lack is the information why your signature is on these. We both know you didn't sign for them, and neither did parliament.
And we can use those cruisers very well, especialy if we can't build new fleet units. We could try to sell the hulk of France to the UKA, that will offset the pricetag a bit.
About the renaming of Devastation. The only thing I can imagine is the gargantuan appetite of a 15000 hp coalburning steamengine. "

"NO, France will stay in France. When I find a way to use her as DeCreme's memorial, I will do so. Unfortunatly, this means we'll need to make the Seine deeper, or build a canal to Paris. And we don't have a budget for that either."

"Ok Premier Jardan, then the next point of interest is....

Incompetence it started too look like his enemys just wanted to make him scared and they eaven fail at that.Juan looked at his cat.Stupid cat.Every time I have to get up she sits on my lap,every time I try to find this stupid cat its nower to be found.He loved that stupid cat but it was a irritating animal not the less.
Juan picked up the cat gently and put her on the desk.
"I will qestion that man personaly"
"Ofcourse My Lord. he is in the basement"ansed the guard.
Juan went on his way to the basement.The halls of the palace were no longer full of soligers they were no longer nessery well they newer were no one will lounch a full scale assault on the palace was not posible a full devision was stacioned just one kilometer from the palace.
Juan mentined too the two guard that were keeping an eye on the prisoner to left the room.
Juan sat in front of the man that was chained to a chair.
The king started thinking 'It is one thing too kill a man but trying to get him to talk is something rather difrent'king had his butterfly knives with him but what good will those do.
"Why were You trying to kill me?"
There was no anser.
"So I geuse You want to be tortured?"
No anser
"Well I never before tortured a man.but I geuse there is a first time for every thing"Juan aproched the prisoner.He toke a ciggaret lighter and a ciggaret out of his pocket.He lit his ciggaret.
"Lets try something you will be my ashtray"sead Juan there was no responce
Juan walk closer to the prisoner.He put out the ciggaret on the man forehead the man didnt eaven flinch.
"Hmm lets try some thing eals"
Juan walk over to the small window he broke it with a and piked up a small peace of glass.
"I will put a small peace of blass in your eye and then hond my hand so that you will not be able to get it out by blinking or crying.How will that sound"
Fear was evident it the mans face he looked at the young king like he was not a human.
"You will die impostor No bastard will ever hold the Trone of Spain"
"Now we are getting somewere"Smiled the king"We know that you are able to speak"
The screams of that man were hear trou out the palace all night long.

Diego was alone at the entrence the guard were nower to be sean.
"You are not cut out for this"sead Diego with concern
"I had too know who he was working for"relpyed the king weakly his entire frame was shaking,he started looking in his pocket for a cigarret.and was unable to find any.Diego gave him a ciggaret and lit it.
"Its not You.You were a gentle and compasionet man torturing is too Your cup of tea"
"And what about 'if you want something done do it yourself'that are your words"
Juan tryed to protest,but it was evident that the expiriebce has shaken him to the core.
"There are limits"sead Diego"SIA is the agency that is invented to deal with that sort of thing.They do Your dirty work."
"And You?"Juan asked
"I do difrent kind of dirty work"Diego replyed"Now go get some sleep"
"Is that an order?"sead Juan half joking
"A friendly advice,now go"
"Ok I think that Ill go now"
"A vise decision my king"Diego maneged to get a weak slime for Juan
Diego was concern about his friend he was afraid that Juan will push him self too hard and that he will defete himself with out the help of his enemys

Senor Delgado looked to President Alizandro. "Another failure."

"Again?", the president exclaimed. "Last year royalty was dropping dead all over the world, and yet now they can't find a single competent assassin to put down little Juan?"

"Their selection of contractor does seem to leave something to be desired", Delgado agreed. "This one apparently tried to poison the king's food or drink, and was caught doing so. Apparently the king interrogated him personally. There are indications he did so with some success, which would suggest the use of torture."

"Are we at risk of being exposed?", Alizandro demanded.

"It is unlikely, but not impossible. There are several degrees of seperation between our involvement and the actual contractor, and we have been most careful in our selection of contacts."

"I damn well hope so", the President growled. "How the hell do they expect to put their man on the throne when they can't get rid of the incumbent?"

"I believe they are under-estimating Juan", Delgado remarked.

Alizandro waved off the idea. "He's a fragile youngster, with no business ruling an empire."

"With all due respect - he's a physically fit, somewhat paranoid young male who has personally taken down one assassin and found it in himself to employ torture on another. Frankly, I believe the Cartel would be more successful taking advantage of his 'hands-on' nature."

"Such as?"

Delgado smiled. "Send some incompetent contractors at him; build his ego with easy successes. Implicate his allies, and erode his faith. Attack what he holds dear, and goad him to atrocity. Destroy the man, then slay him."

"Mention it to the Cartel", Alizandro replied.

OOC:Write what you know.I have sean knife fight's on numerus occasion but never see a gun fired(thank god) or a sword figth(I dont think any one did in a 100 years) so thats why I desided to use a butterfly knife in this story.


OOC: as a swordfighting instructor i've seen more than my share in swordfights, including quite a lot of "accidents", things can turn out very messy when they happen. However gruesome those wounds can be, the treatment could turn out funny. Imagin someone dressed in medieval armor walking into a emergencyroom of a modern hospital, it's one way to bring out all the staff, AND lots of attention from the nurses.

IC:
Somewhere subtropical, late at night.
Pacing in his suite, Agrival pondered on ways to find more recources. The dope, gunrunning and slaves did bring in enough to support his organisation and his luxurious way of living, but just not enough to become recognized as an international power.
His French connection had told him their secret service booked him as "an annoyence". He needed to do something about that, something that showed the world to be carefull how they called him behind his back. Something brutal, not subtile, something which they couldn't cover up and it should certainly be published in papers around the world. For such a job he needed Backup, no need for Brains, a simple devastating statement to that backbonebounced Jardan and those other worldleading poofs.
But first he needed recources, to build a fleet, so he could carve out his empire. How to get it and where? Assasinaton might be a start, especially if he considered the mess that that wannabe killer got into trying to do that kid Juan. Assasinations where a possible option, but he needed to talk it all trough with Marissa. She had her ways for sniffing out the "trustworthy" contracters.

Aggrivated, Agrival stared out of one the port-holes, whom to contact, he thought. New Swiss was making enemies by the bucket, picking fights with half the world and got kicked around it and back for the trouble of it. Those idiot peabrains might do for starters, just to wet his appetite, as a warming up for the real world.
Or maybe Gran Colombia hiring some toddler to do a mans job and one who surely must have wetted his diapers when confronted by Juan's nannies. They must be desperate to do that or just plain stupid. He might do bussiness with them, but only if they did extridite the former ACM chairman of the Bahama's to him.
No use cracking his brains on the matter now, he needed to put it before Marissa and get her opinion. What he needed now was some execise, talking his cane out of the umbrellastand, he walked out of his suite. "Igor, bring me my instructors, I need a work out!" he called to his boy.

This was certanly interesting the palace basement was full of people, half of them chained to the cealing.The captives made an interesting social Cross-section. There were aritocrats, althou poor ones ,rich city people ,jews, farmers,franch,germans, one asian and a prostitute.
There all were intarigated in turns.As of now Seniorita Wojewoda's"Sekcja Spacjalna"have found out many interesting things from interogations.
The list of posibles people behind the assasiantions attempts was geting longer every minut.
So far the wodebe assasins were telling that they were payed by russians industrialist,franch aristocrats, former prussian army officers and the list went on.
All the people were captured outside the palace one eaven got in side the palace walls.All in all this was something one dose not see everyday.

El Sol:  4 November 1901



Shocking news from the court of the tyrant Juan III!

Our European bureau, acting on tips from concerned Spanish citizens, did some investigating into the incident in August that supposedly saw an assassin break into the royal palace, murder a guard, and attack the young king, only to be killed himself at the monarch's hand.  It turns out that the truth is actually quite different.

According to El Sol's sources, the "assassin" was in fact a professional trainer, brought to the palace to train the king in matters of self defence, a perfectly reasonable pass-time for a ruler despised by his population.  The two were practicing defending against knife attacks when, in the words of one witness (whom we shall not name, out of respect for his safety):  "Juan became frustrated with his impotence on the training room floor and lunged at the trainer while the latter was pausing to drink water.  The king brutally stabbed the trainer and kept doing so even as his aides and guards attempted to pull him off the mangled corpse."

Apparently, the bodyguard who lost his life merely happened to be the first man to try and intervene in the attack.  "He tried to prevent his king from making a tragic mistake, and paid the ultimate price.  Juan turned on him and slew him in a fit of rage", the witness related.

Evidently, while the young king may no longer need knife-fighting lessons, some anger management sessions may be in order!
