President
Yatoshi enters the hidden compound, deep in the Union Republic's Orkani
forest to meet his ally and friend Crimson Eye Syndicate founder Chin Mao
Bei. The two septuagenarian greet each other and discuss their plans. Chin
Mao Bei asks, "Old friend, I'm very eager to help you in any way I can to
him strengthen your nation." Yatoshi sits across from Chin Mao Bei and says,
"I have greatly appreciated your help. With you and you syndicate, I will
have the power to defend my nation and to strike-out at those who have
betrayed me." Yatoshi hands a several profiles to Chin Mao Bei. Chin looks
them over and says with confidence, "I have just the right people to handle
these targets. Consider it done my friend. I have to ask, why isn't Lord
Zando a target?" Yatoshi leans back in his chair and says, "I want him to
see how pitiful his forces are before I strike out at him. I am the rightful
Lord of the CM nation, not that old has-been. When these targets have been
dealt with, then we will concentrate on Lord Zando." Chin Mao Bei nods.

The next
evening Chin Mao
Bei looks over his list while seated within his secret forest compound.
Looking over the targets he and his employer Union Republic President Yatoshi have agreed upon. Soon one of his guards gestures that the first
agent has arrived. A tall women enters the well lit room on this cool night
and kneels to her master. Chin Mao Bei looks up and barks, "Kiya, you have
been assigned an important mission." He hands a scroll to his aide who
in turn walks over and hands it to Kiya. Kiya looking to the ground, on her
knees, places the note within a pouch. Chin Mao Bei says, "I would like you
to get as much information on this person as you can achieve. He is not to
be killed at this time. Our employer wants to make him suffer before a fate
such as death can be enacted. Your reputation may bring trouble, but with
your charm and grace I am sure you can keep yourself safe." Kiya asks,
"Master, I will not disappoint. I will weave a web around any man or woman
alive. No human can resist my gifts, my powers." Chin Mao Bei chuckles and
says, "You have always been my deadly butterfly, my top agent. That is why I
chose you for this mission." Chin Mao Bei snaps his fingers and Kiya, backs
away into the hallway corridor and exits the compound.
An hour later Chin Mao Bei issues orders to agent Amhenti
Ra. Amhenti enter the compound and kneels to Chin Mao Bei and is given his
instruction. He asks, "Master, you wish for me to eliminate an entire clan
without backup or even an aide?" Chin Mao Bei barks, "Amhenti, you have the
most challenging task of all of our syndicate. I wish for you to eliminate
the Black Ninja clan and it's leader Jill Matsmoti. They are one of the
elite forces and top information gathering groups within the CM nation. Our
employer will be very pleased if that clan is exterminated." Amhenti laughs
and says, "I will relish this opportunity you have given me my master. Their
heads will be at your feet within a fortnight!"
Within an hour after Amhenti Ra leaved the compound, a dark
dressed man enters the compound and kneels to Chin Mao Bei. A note is given
to him and Chin Mao Bei says softly, "The person you have to eliminate is of
great mystery and cunning. Be very cautious with dealing with person." The man
kneeling remains quite. Chin Mao Bei stands and walks over and says, "You,
the Shade, have the skill of the darkness to confront such a powerful
individual. Your silence will guarantee that even your missions should fail,
no information can be gathered from you. That is why I believe you are the
best man for this mission." The Spade looks up and nods and gently kisses
the feet of Chin Mao Bei.
Late on the following evening a courier arrives to CM Gen.
Adams' office. He looks the letter the courier has over and asks from whom
was it sent. The courier expresses that the person who sent the letter is
outside of the fortress and wishes to perform for him and his staff. Adams
questions the motives of any traveling group and tells his guards to escort
them from the area. As he reads the letter again, the name "Kiya" catches
his attention. He orders the guards to escort the group inside of the
courtyard and asks to have Kiya brought to him. Within a few minutes the two
guards enter Adam's office with a towering blue woman. Adams is briefly
stunned by her appearance. He says, "Please pardon any odd questions or
behavior from my troops and I. We don't see too many blue women." Kiya
quietly says, "It is an honor to meet one of the greatest generals of out
time." Adams says quickly, "I know who you are. I know of your loyalties to
Chin Mao Bei and the Crimson Eyed Syndicate. Ten years ago Chin Mao Bei and
a few of his students killed a large group of my troops. Why have you come
here? Do you plan to assassinate me?" Kiya calmly and quietly says, "I am
here to dance for you and your people. I am a gift of goodwill from Chin
Mao Bei. True, I Chin Mao Bei is my master but he wishes to resolve any
difference our people may have." Adams laughs and says, "Indeed, you are a
lovely messenger..." Before Adams can finish his sentence Kiya lifts her
left arm and butterfly start to fly around her with a hypnotic flight. Adams
looks as these multi-colored butterfly fly around this tall woman with dyed
blue skin ands dark blue tattoos. Kiya walks over to Adams, her breast at
Adam's eye level and says while placing her left index finger on his chin,
"I wish to perform for the most powerful man alive. I thirst for power and
the men who have the power. Please let me dance for you your Excellency."
Adams, mesmerized by this woman says, "You shall dance. Please, my guards
will find you a place to stay while we prepare and plan for your
performance." Kiya slowly backs out of the room, keeping constant eye
contact with Adams. After Kiya leaves Adams, sits down thinks over why this
woman has come to him.

Later that afternoon Adams and his fellow generals,
Hammerstein and Ching meet within a grand theater near the base. Adams says
to his colleges, "This woman, Kiya is a spy. She is one of Chin Mao Bei best
students, a master in dance, acting and seduction. She says she's here as a
gift from Chin Mao Bei, but we should not let out guard down." Gen. Ching
questions, "Why would you even let her within out base if she has such a
history?" Adams smiles and says, "What harm could she do to us? Her dance
and exotic beauty is renowned all over the continent. This is a luxury
gentlemen, enjoy yourselves"
Soon Kiya and her fellow dancers enter the theater and
Kiya's performance soon begins. With her colorful
butterflies, mesmerizing music, multi-colored light show and the movements
of her towering slender frame hypnotizes the men within her audience. The
few honored CM soldiers allowed this honor are bewildered by this tall, red
haired blue lady. For nearly three hours Kiya dances with no sign tiring.
Adams writes a few notes as his comrades stare in wonder. Adams motions for
a guards and hands a note to one of them.
At the end of Kiya's performance, the entire theater stands
and gives her and her company their respects with their applause. Kiya looks
directly at Adams with a seductive look as she covers her mouth with her
fan. She and her ground leave the stage as Adams and his comrades exit.
As Adams heads back to his offices, Gen. Hammerstein asks,
"She was sent for a reason. She is Chin Mao Bei's jewel. Why would he 'give'
her to you, allow her to perform her dances?" Adams says while entering his
office, "I plan to find out. She is a very dangerous woman...not necessarily
in the physical sense, but she thirst for power. Her loyalties toward Chin
Mao Bei have to be very strong, but Chin Mao Bei isn't me. He's an old man.
I command hundreds of thousands of troops and he has his measly syndicate.
If she saw the power I command, she may turn toward our side." Gen. Ching
asks, "Do you plan to turn her against Chin Mao Bei?" Adams says, "I sent
for additional information regarding her background. It seems she has
traveled here with her children. They will be insurance that she pulls no
deceptions to our nation." Hammerstein asks, "What do you have in mind?"
Adams looks out of his window with his arms behind his back and says, "We'll
see how far she is willing to go for Chin Mao Bei and if the power I have
can break her of Chin Mao Bei's grip. She may be a spy, one of the very
best, but I intend to break her. I want to see her raw, her turn motives,
her true power."
Early the following morning Adams is awoken by guards with a
cable that the Black Ninja clan has been attacked. Adams reads the cable,
the information is limited, very few details. As Adams enters the hallways
Kiya appears from a corridor. Adams looks up at this giant of a woman,
though slender, graceful and feminine, still physically intimidating. She
looks down at Adams and says, "I know you are aware of my past and my
purpose. I am a spy. Chin Mao Bei wants information regard your loyalties
toward Lord Zando." Adams says, "Lord Zando? You have underestimated me
Kiya. You must have other motives. What value would that information would
that be to Chin Mao Bei? Kiya's eyes widen as she says, "Do you really
believe I would bring my troop, my family with me if I were to do you harm.
I am a gift. He wanted information, but I am his to command......and now
yours as well." She moves closer to Adams, places her hands to the back of
his head and says, "I am a woman of power Gen. Adams. No one respects the
weak. Chin Mao Bei can't contain my ambitions. He is like a father to me,
but I need to rule over many. I was born to be a queen, not a mere
dancer....A Queen. I can become anything I put my heart into. If you believe
I am here to harm you, kill me here. If you believe I wish to be here, to
become more then just a spy of Chin Mao Bei, then please let me remain. You
will see how gracious I can me. You will see my true strength."
Gen. Hammerstein receives another cable within minutes for
the Palace, from Lord Zando that top level agents are being sent to the base
in which Adams is overseeing to respond to the Black Ninja clan event. Adams
is soon informed and prepare for this group and further information on the
Black Ninjas. Adams meets Hammerstein and Ching in his War Room. His mind
clouded by Kiya's advances.
