Emperor: The Cradle of Foundation Highlights:

Humble Beginnings:

Emmanuel Howards and Merea arrive in Monterra as immigrants.

Melenna and Chong separated ways taking Merea and Howards as his foster son

with them respectively.

In a Chao kingdom celebration, Howards and Merea saw the Chao brothers for

the first time when they took time to have fun in the city. Merea was struck by the

regal image projected by Lady Felicia Dai Chao. She became one of the Ezarran

leader’s admirers wanting to be as regal as her.

Howards and Merea were kidnapped. They encountered an acid drenched monster

believed to be Lady Dai’s son barely escaping with their lives. They found out the

truth about Lady Felicia Dai Chao but remained silent for years to come.

Howards and Merea separated ways with Howards starting to build his name in

Shitenia.

Howards left his comfort zone to work for Roman Chao managed by Chaos

Lionheart.

Under Roman Chao’s company, Howards had a great time helping Ezarra’s

maritime company. There, he honed his economic and political skills increasing

his work ethics gaining the respect of his peers.

While on a business trip, Howards held dear to the hearts of his fellow immigrants

and inspire them to work hard for a better future. Howards made alliances with

the newly arrived promising them they will always be his inspiration to work

hard. His tolerance to the immigrants alarmed his manager Chaos Lionheart.

Chaos Lionheart conspired against Howards forcing the latter to resign.

Merea devoted her time studying in Amenopolis, Civi Island to be a future

princess. Her uncle Boi and mother Meleena watched over her progress giving all

their love for the well being of their daughter.

A local prince training to be a pharaoh fell in love with Merea and started

courting her giving her every comfort the nation can offer.

Page 2: Emperor 1 HL

Howards and Go Soba moved far away from Ezarra into the snowy mountain

ranges finding jobs in a banking company. While working there, Howards

realized that his current job doesn’t fit him right. In contrast, Go Soba is doing

well in dealing with high risks finances. After many mistakes and depressing

moments, Howards realized that his job under Roman Chao was a lot better than

in his current situation.

After failing to secure a local ruler’s account in place, Howards was constantly

reprimanded by the manager and was not given regularization. Sensing another

job dismissal, Howards saved himself by resigning going back into Shitenia. Go

Soba remained in the bank to learn more about economical and financial system

for Howards’ future ambitions.

Howards went back to Shitenia to catch up with Merea’s father. Unfortunately for

Howards, he realized that his foster father is now a different man. He commented

to his foster father that he became too ambitious and already a local major

warlord. Chong ended up blaming him of having him to lose face due to

Howards’ being a failure. Chong made it clear that he is already an ambitious man

since his time on Earth with Merea.

Back in Civi Island, Gibbeon and Merea are already deep in love and are planning

for a future marriage. Gibbeon announced his relationship with Merea to the

public. Imperial Minister Boi and Regent Meleena hoped that their daughter will

finally find the right man.

Chong consoled Howards giving one of his daughters for him to marry for the

betterment of Shitenia and being his son.

In Shitenia, after marrying one of Howards’ daughters, Howards conspired

against his foster father using both his diplomatic skills and political skills to

convince a number of warlords such as Andsuke Toyama and his father to fight

against his ambitious father.

Howards’ wife secretly told the plot to his father but nonetheless both sides went

to a war.

Howards is looking for his wife but found out his marriage to one of Chong’s

daughter is simply a ploy for his foster father to check his loyalty up.

Page 3: Emperor 1 HL

Howards gathered his army marching against Chong’s mighty samurai army.

Despite fighting a good and bloody fight, Howards decisively lost against Chong

and his army. In desperation, he tried to engage Chong in a duel and was defeated.

In the aftermath of the war, Howards was deserted by his allies with only a few

Shitenian warlords at his side.

After defeating Howards and his men, Chong ordered his daughter to divorce

Howards. He continued on his way to Shitenian preeminence. Basking in his

victory, he continued making allies with more powerful warlords getting the

attention of the current Emperor. Chong formally changed his name to Takeda

Minamoto no Kageyama.

Defeated and embarrassed, Howards along with his few samurai men such as

Andsuke Toyama and his father left Shitenia hoping to recruit immigrants to fight

against Takeda Kageyama one more time.

Reaching the area where immigrants are settling. Howards, Andsuke and the other

Shitenians lived a new life in exile. Howards and the others started to befriend

more migrants helping them in their daily lives. Howards urged his men to treat

them nicely and assure them they will all have a better future. Howards is once

more in the side of the immigrants. Howards asked the immigrants of their

perception to the Ezarrans. All he received are negative ones that the Ezarrans are

barbaric in the guise of an advanced civilization and remained traditional and

power hungry.

Interestingly whenever Howards goes for better and for worst in his journeys, a

daughter of a minor Shitenian warlord, Harumi Asano continued watching over

Howards to assure his well being and safety. Confused in her intentions, she

eventually realized that she is falling in love with the ambitious young man.

After living for a while in the midst of immigrants, Howards eventually planned

to make a visit to Civi Island to replenish his soul. Instead, heartbreak awaited

Howards when he saw his friend Merea is about to be married with Gibbeon.

Feeling great sorrow and depression, Howards knelt down in front of the pavilion

where the marriage of his friend is taking place. He was eventually escorted out of

the vicinity.

Page 4: Emperor 1 HL

Days later, still depressed trailed with back to back failures, Howards’ life is

seemed having a downward spiral. Harumi tried to console him but Howards

ended up drinking excessively.

One day, Gibbeon went out of his country along with a handful of men for an

outdoor excursion. They decided to rest where the immigrants were staying. In a

fit of drunken rage, Howards threw his bottle attempting to hit the Pharaoh.

Gibbeon’s men approached Howards and tried to apprehend him to be sentenced

back in Amenopolis. Howards told Gibbeon that he loves Merea and he will do

everything to win her back. Gibbeon gently told his men to release Howards.

Howards wanted to prove her love to Merea by issuing a challenge to the

Pharaoh. Gibbeon accepted the challenge and defeated Howards. The Civilian

leader and his troops picked up the unconscious Howards and brought him back

to the immigrants’ area telling them to take care of him.

Harumi proved to be Howards’ emotional strength in times of his depression.

Howards felt he embarrassed an innocent young woman which she didn’t deserve.

Howards promised Harumi that he will try his best to stop drinking and live more

honorably. He assured Harumi that he will never “think” of Merea again.

Days later, Howards and the rest of the community started their morning found

out that they were attack by “barbarians” in reality, the Chao Ezarran forces.

Howards and the others were rounded up and shipped to Ezarra.

In Ezarra, Howards found himself doing manual labors to Ben Nabochadshazzar

Chao, another Ezarran leader. Along with other immigrants and poor citizens,

Howards is forced to do construction works to Ben Nabochadshazzar Chao’s

fortress projects.

Despite his difficult condition, Howards worked hard inspiring his fellow

migrants and other Ezarrans to do their job well because their future is on the line.

Howards showed his peers his remarkable work ethics telling them that success is

more accessible in an uncertain foreign land. He befriended another Ezarran

mason, Melchizedek Harrison who constantly saved him from a bully, an acolyte

of Junipero Tarde-Luna, one of Ben Chao’s taskmasters. Melchizedek Harrison

Page 5: Emperor 1 HL

might be a little bit hostile to new immigrants but thinking of the future, he put off

their issues aside.

Three years later, Ben Chao planned a meeting with the dynamic Howards. He

told Howards that he saw himself in the young man. Howards was made his sales

agent to his umbrella business in which it’s always stormy in Ben’s part of Ezarra.

For Howards, it’s a new career change. A great opportunity that will serve as a

trampoline on Howards’ ambitions to eventually win everyone into his fold to

assure the fulfillment of his lifelong dreams.

In the course of the events, Gibbeon and Merea produced healthy children. More

immigrants have arrived to Monterra introducing the people with newer

technologies. Harumi became a tourist guide in Ezarra but went back to Shitenia

for another tourism career. Lady Felicia Dai Chao peacefully passed away in

unknown circumstances taking all her secrets with her to the afterlife. Howards

became Ben Chao’s trusted confidante and is doing well being one of his sales

agents earning the disgust and envy of his taskmasters such as Junipero Luna.

The sales career of Howards is not as innocent as Ben ordered him to do. For

Howards, his sales career is an open opportunity to upgrade his political,

diplomatic, economical and martial skills. For Howards, despite being a sales

agent, his real employer is his ambitions to rule Ezarra as one mighty nation. On

one business trip to the thriving immigrant community, Howards used his skills

and charisma winning the hearts of the immigrants. He went nation to nation

using his oratorical skills combined with his salesmanship gaining more and more

friends. He even befriended an immigrant leader named Ferdinand Quezon

assuring him of his support when things go wrong.

Back in Ezarra, the Chao brothers, Chaos Lionheart, his former real estate

manager Williamson Binondo, Junipero Luna and the rest of his detractors tried to

poison Ben Chao’s mind of Howards’ lust for power of an attempt to overthrow

him. Unknowing to them, Howards already had a great following in Ezarra both

commoners and close associates of the nobles. They will all support him all the

way even thinking he is an incarnation of a noble deity.

Page 6: Emperor 1 HL

Howards tired from all the work he is doing lodged in the immigrant community.

Ferdinand Quezon informed him that rogue immigrants are causing panic

detrimental to their existence. Howards and his newfound followers decisively

defeated the rogue immigrants telling them instead of fighting each other, they

must cooperate. Howards fought their leader General Menandro Magdalo. After

defeating him, Menandro joined Howards’ growing loose following earning his

respect to the dynamic man.

Shortly, while on his way back to Ezarra’s fortress district, Howards found out

that Ben Chao mysteriously died. Rumors are circulating that Howards is

responsible for the assassination. Deep inside, Howards knew he has the best

chance to succeed Ben Chao earning him the anger of those who didn’t like him.

Fearing possible death of his ambitions, Howards retreated back to the immigrant

community under the protection of Ferdinand Quezon. Knowing Howards’ as

Merea’s close friend, Gibbeon sent some troops to assist Howards through the

incoming crisis.

Melchizedek Harrison and other Ezarrans loyal to Howards took a long way

descent catching up with Howards informing him that Ezarra is in a brink of a

civil war. Howards asked him about the welfare of the immigrants. Harrison

replied Howards that many Ezarrans are on their side and are willing to act when

necessary assuring Howards of his eventual victory.

Emmanuel Howards was never bothered of having insufficient and inexperienced

forces. He has everything to win and nothing to lose. Joining him are

Melchizedek Harrison and his seasoned forces. Ferdinand Quezon and his

technologically superior forces. Gibbeon’s Amenopolian battle corps and his

newfound ally General Menandro Magdalo and his cavalry. For Howards, they

are crucial for his victory. However, Howards believed his charisma, his dynamic

personality and his overall influence dear to the heart of the people will win him

the war in the end. They all marched ascending to the hostile continent of Ezarra

for another milestone in her history.

To Howards’ surprise, Harumi resigned her Shitenian job to show her support and

act as one of her protectors. Commending Harumi, Howards was added another

Page 7: Emperor 1 HL

blessing, the return of his friend Go Soba after he got through of analyzing

everything pertaining to economy and finance for future use in Howards’

administration. With everything is set into place, they all marched towards the

stormy district of Ezarra.

The Grandmaster of Ezarra:

With Ben Chao dead, his niece, Junipero Luna, Geraldo Luna, Chaos Lionheart’s

younger sister under the watchful eyes of Chaos Lionheart rallied all their forces

to end the ambitious menace known as Emmanuel Howards. Some Ezarrans

pretended that they were with Junipero Luna but will act accordingly when the

time is right.

In their fortress base, Junipero alarmed her troops that Howards has arrived. She

thought Howards is ripe for the pickings due to being outnumbered. Chaos

Lionheart warned her not to take Howards lightly but nevertheless Junipero

ordered Ben’s storm chariots to destroy Howards and his forces.

Howards and his allies saw war chariots were charging towards them for their

cold welcome in Ezarra. Howards commanded Harrison to fire the chariots. One

by one the chariots fell. Chao cavalries charging towards Howards and his forces

but were repelled by his new found allies. Just a footstep from the impregnable

city, Howards fought in the frontline slaughtering numerous Ezarran forces. Go

Soba has his own share of killing enemy soldiers. Harumi and her women

warriors fought hard successfully assisting Howards. Gibbeon’s sun cannon

troops set the walls on fire but Ezarran storms put out the fire.

Howards and his allies were surprised by Chaos Lionheart’s troops. Remembering

everything Chaos did to him almost ruining his life, Howards opened fire to

Chaos’ troops keeping them at bay. Harrison told Howards that the walls are too

impregnable and they are just being stuck outside. Ferdinand ordered his few

tanks to fire the walls destroying some of them. Eventually chariots overran the

tanks. The battle is fought in a stalemate with Howards is in the losing side

Page 8: Emperor 1 HL

nowhere to go and nowhere to retreat. Howards and his troops are good only in

killing charging forces to them but the opposing leaders are still on the inside.

Howards inspired his troops telling Harrison of what he proudly told him. In the

brink of defeat, the table has turned. Both immigrants and Ezarrans loyal to

Howards eventually took action bringing the city in chaos. Taking advantage,

Howards and his allies charged inside the city, blasting through the walls and

fought bloodier battles inflicting huge casualties. Chaos Lionheart and his troops

escaping possible defeat and shame left his sister and Junipero Luna to the

inevitable. Howards’ political skills won the war alarming neighboring Chao

Ezarran kingdoms.

Inside Ezarra, tired of heavy casualties, Howards and his allies reunited with his

immigrant colleagues and Ezarran following ordered the war must be stopped.

Nevertheless, they continued slaying Ezarran forces that were still loyal to the

dead leader. Howards eventually stormed Ben’s pyramid palace finding Junipero

and the conspirators nowhere to be found except Pericles Alexander, a young

general of the Chaos ready to defend their place. Howards had a hard time

fighting Pericles Alexander telling the latter not to waste his young life. Pericles

Alexander continued advancing towards Howards but Harrison saved his friend

who instead fought Pericles Alexander but was also defeated. Pericles Alexander

and his troops retreated immediately telling the new occupants that they will be

seeing each other several more times until they get the peace they desperately

desired.

Howards remarked that Pericles Alexander is yet another “blind” Chao general

and will be welcoming him after the latter will be having a change of heart. He

told Harrison that a young man’s life wasted in a war fought in bad intentions is

the most wasteful thing ever had.

Emmanuel Howards, in the aftermath of a bloody civil war and the death of the

great Ben Chao, became the leader of a Chao kingdom in the fortress district of

Ezarra. As the new Chao leader, Howards found out the truth in Ben Chao that he

is using structures to replicate storms for his vested business interests. He ordered

his troops to realign the structures to strengthen the defense of his kingdom.

Page 9: Emperor 1 HL

While he is stabilizing the state, he ordered his troops to pursue Junipero Luna

and Chaos Lionheart. With him now in control of the state, he encouraged

immigrants to settle down in his new country. After everything has been

stabilized, the ambitions of Howards are close into fulfillment.

Chaos Lionheart, Junipero Luna and his sister went to a secret meeting with the

other Chao leaders alongside with their high profile business allies to discuss a

way to regain the fortress kingdom and get rid of Emmanuel Howards.

Building up his nation, Howards welcomed more immigrants and ordered the

Ezarrans to replicate their high tech technology to be handy for the betterment of

their community. Howards also changed the working system in his kingdom. He

constantly drilled into the minds of his subjects that Ben Chao and Junipero Luna

were way more of a taskmaster than a working leader. In one reconstructing

project, Howards even demonstrated the business leaders how to be a real leader

than simply inconsiderate commanding bosses that gave workers harm than good.

In the wake of the discussion between the Ezarran leaders, Chaos Lionheart

devised a plan to ruin Howards even more like he did ruining his early careers.

Chaos Lionheart now allied with Takeda Kageyama ordered his daughter to visit

the fortress kingdom of Ezarra. The time the daughter set foot on the kingdom,

Howards and his men took the daughter and her troops as hostages remembering

the betrayal and humiliation he endured under his foster father. Andsuke Toyama

told Howards to take it easy. Howards called out Takeda Kageyama for another

decisive war with him.

Back in Shitenia, Takeda Kageyama found out what happened to his daughter

also declared war against Howards. Takeda Kageyama and his Shitenian warlord

allies with a huge number of troops marched towards Ezarra.

Chaos Lionheart and Williamson Binondo assured Takeda Kageyama that they

will eventually destroy Howards and his petty ambitions.

Knowing war is unavoidable, Howards prepared his troops for war! Howards

burned down one of Roman Chao’s palaces killing many of his men. As he was

passing near Williamson’s city, he saw a Saint Bernard dog being abused by its

handlers. In compassion, Howards fought with the handlers forcing them to run

Page 10: Emperor 1 HL

away and became the new owner of the dog naming it Wilson. Wilson proved to

be a stress reliever to Howards. Both of them shared the same experience in life

and the two became great friends.

After he took care of Wilson, Howards wisely avoided getting close to

Williamson’s city for he believed he is not yet ready to deal with his sentinels of

steel. Marching along with his troops, they were eventually stopped by the city

soldiers. Howards and his allies were brought to Andre Tan, the city leader and

tycoon. Howards told the tycoon of the truth regarding one of his employees. The

tycoon is first surprised but thanked Howards in the end. Howards even managed

to secure good relationship with the tycoon even making him as one of his

business partners. With his diplomatic proficiency, Howards and his men were

left unharmed even rendering Williamson’s authority ineffective in his alliance

with Chaos Lionheart.

Howards pursued his ambitions blitzing his way to the strategic maritime

kingdom of Boniface Chao. Boniface Chao eventually realized that he cannot

stand against Howards. He pleaded Howards to spare his life thus ending up as

one of Howards “acting priest” to his desire of becoming a living god of Ezarra.

The defeat of Boniface Chao in the hands of Howards expanded his territory and

increased his fortune.

Back in Ezarra, Merea tried to call Howards but Go Soba answered the phone.

Merea told Go Soba to spare her father’s life. Go Soba assured Merea that he will

do everything he can do for his friend and her father to stop fighting

unnecessarily. Go Soba assured Merea that her half sister is not actually a hostage

and is well and safe. He continued that Howards is luring Mr. Chong for one final

battle. Merea tries to go to Ezarra but her husband feared for her safety.

Howards and his massive troops with fresh additions from Boniface Chao met

Takeda Kageyama and his warlords along with his massive troops in an open

plain in the outskirts of Ezarra. Like a classic samurai showdown, both sides

fought a fiercer and bloodier battle better than the last time they fought. Howards

rallied his troops breaking the enemy lines several times ending the lives of

several warlords during the middle part of the battle.

Page 11: Emperor 1 HL

Takeda Kageyama and the rest of his allies showered Howards’s men with bullets

inflicting massive loss on Howards’ side. With the expert strategy of Harrison, he

struck down much of Kageyama’s missile units forcing the rest for a classic

samurai showdown in a battle of honor.

Harrison brutally slew the descending samurai always thinking of the future of

Ezarra. He surprised the troops with his own reinforcement of missile units. In

Howards’ camp they used their superior projectile weapons blasting where the

camp of his foster father is set.

With Harrison and Andsuke Toyama acting as triumphant protagonists on the

plains, Howards took advantage of the situation led the cavalry up to the mountain

killing all those who went in his way.

Howards and his cavalry armies gave no chance to Kageyama’s men to react.

They slew everyone in their path including warlords forcing Kageyama and a

handful of his men to retreat to the forest on their way down in the mountain.

Howards and his cavalry units proceeded in chasing his foster father. Taking

advantage of the mountain jungles, Kageyama used his grenades and muskets

slaying much of Howards’ forces. He even made Howards being thrown of his

horse due to the explosions. Kageyama hunted down more of Howards men who

wanted to take his head.

Takeda Kageyama and a handful of his men found out they have no where to go.

Instead of finding a way back to Shitenia, he and his troops ended up in another

dead end part of the mountain.

With rains started to pour with violent thunders, Kageyama felt he has no choice

but to settle the score with his foster son.

Howards eventually found his foster father. As he attempted to have a dialogue

with Kageyama, Kageyama samurais attempted to kill Howards but Howards

made short work of them. Despite revenge in his mind, with all due respect to

Merea, Howards wanted his foster father to reconcile with him. Kageyama replied

that Chaos Lionheart will be a better ally for him than a burden like Howards.

Without having many words, in the midst of a storm, Howards and Kageyama

fought an intense and epic battle which seemed forever. With both their

Page 12: Emperor 1 HL

personalities and metals clashing with each other, their battle had only gotten

worst. In the end, Howards capitalized on Kageyama’s mistake ended up killing

him. Dying, Kageyama requested Howards to take care of Merea to be a father to

her. Howards bowed down and honored his fallen enemy whom once he called

father. He eventually obtained Kageyama’s weapon for future use.

After the death of Kageyama, Howards and his men went back to their kingdom

bringing the body of his foster father waiting for Merea’s arrival. Behind the

scenes, Chaos Lionheart is the ultimate psychological victor over Emmanuel

Howards who again has his legacy in uncertain terms.

Queen Merea and her family eventually arrived in Ezarra escorted by heavy

security to attend to her father’s death. Shortly, she saw Howards arriving

exhausted and demoralized with his men carrying his father. Instead of words of

consolation, Merea slapped Howards hard of destroying their friendship by killing

her father. She told Howards that he is not the Howards she once knew and

ambitions got over his head. She angrily ranted Howards that he even made her

half sister as a pawn to his political desires. After burying Kageyama with honors,

Merea and her family went back to Civi Island isolated her nation never to see

Howards for the next three years.

Through these years before another great event in Ezarra, Howards temporarily

stopped the expansion of his territories. He concentrated himself improving

Ezarra’s economy and military might. He tightened up the city defenses hoping to

make short work of future volatile tensions. He assigned his allies to the far

reaches of his realm to improve their economy and also tighten up their defenses.

Howards encouraged more immigrants to settle down in his city sharing their

technologies with the Ezarrans. He secured maritime control and trade near

Boniface’s territory. He gave Boniface looted gold from Ben Chao’s kingdom to

start a new life as his devoted admirer and banker. With the help of Andre Tan’s

collaboration, he constructed tall buildings in Ezarra improving the economy even

more. Even though there were tensions, Howards and his people remained calm

and concentrated improving their cities while the enemies are also doing the same

hoping for one last great event in the future.

Page 13: Emperor 1 HL

Chaos Lionheart and his uncles admitted that Howards is indeed influential to all

those around him. Ironically, in a crossroad of ideas, Howards partially adopted

the Chao method of administration and governance. Chaos Lionheart and the

other Chaos also encouraged immigrants to their territories for them to catch up

technology and strengthening their military might. As years gone by, Chaos

Lionheart and his uncles improved their standing gaining even more allies

ensuring stability in their realm.

Three years later, Ezarran scouts informed Howards that Junipero Luna is lodging

in a mansion near Lady Felicia’s area with minimal troops. Howards commanded

his troops to arrest the usurper but were obliterated by Chaos Lionheart’s troops.

Harrison led the reinforcement units defeating Lionheart’s troops storming inside

the mansion killing Luna’s husband arresting Junipero Luna and Lionheart’s

sister.

Howards ordered his troops to occupy outside Lady Felicia Dai’s area for another

possible war. He ordered Harrison to take Junipero and Lionheart’s sister back in

his territory to call upon Lionheart. Howards dared Lionheart that he will kill

Junipero and his sister when he doesn’t show himself to him. Pretending to lose

his patience, in revenge, Howards ordered his men to execute Junipero and

Lionheart’s sister flaming up the war between Howards and the Chaos never seen

before.

Sensing he has nothing to lose, Howards invaded Lady Felicia Dai’s territory. It

angered the Chaos even more because they believed their sister’s realm is deemed

too sacred to be touched upon by both sides. It ended up being ruled by a Chao

supported governor. Howards and his men stormed inside looting everything they

got destroying statues that bear images of demons and to his shock, numerous

human skeletons were found proving that Lady Felicia Dai and her acolytes were

engaged in demonism, cannibalism and barbaric acts in the guise of civilization

and ethics. In indignation, Howards burned the palace down leveling the city up

until it was reduced to merely a land floating in a great river. Trying to get the

favor of the locals, Howards revealed to them Lady Felicia Dai’s darkest secrets

telling them they have no future on someone who resorted to demonic acts and

Page 14: Emperor 1 HL

pagan cannibalism in the guise of ethics and civilization. He ordered his men to

bury the skeletons to finally pacify the wandering souls into eternal rest.

Emmanuel Howards left his fortified cities and started improving Felicia Dai’s

territory modernizing the city for his own future use as the seat of his ambitions.

However, the wrath of the Chaos and Chaos Lionheart were upon Howards. Even

though he is the better politician and schemer, Lionheart subjected himself under

Roman Chao who is an excellent rich businessman but not a skilled politician yet

he served as the sentinel of the Chaos with his considerable martial skills. Chaos

Lionheart attached himself to various Shitenian warlords whom Kageyama left off

and various business leaders who have great resources opposed to Howards.

Chaos Lionheart even married some of Kageyama’s daughters and other Shitenian

samurai daughters for his political ambitions.

Shortly after occupying Dai’s territory, Howards and his troops saw Chaos

Lionheart along with one of his generals Eduardo Angga and massive amount of

men marching towards Howards’ city. Howards ordered his men to retreat back to

their city opening up the defenses.

Andsuke Toyama led his men to fight against Chaos Lionheart slaying a number

of his men. He positioned his gunners to keep them at bay. Go Soba used his

newfound technological arsenals to stop Lionheart’s men on their tracks. General

Menandro Magdalo led his cavalries engaging Lionheart and his men in a bloody

war.

Despite slight technological advantages from Howards’ side, Chaos Lionheart

managed to break beyond his allies’ defenses heading towards the fortified district

hoping to regain it. Andsuke and his men fought bravely but were marched upon.

Harrison tried his best but only defeated the rear part of Howards men. General

Menandro Magdalo and his cavalry units lost their way to Lionheart’s troops.

In desperation for the thrill of the battle, Harrison and his men continued fighting

back Eduardo Angga and his missile units involving themselves in a violent

shootout. With no sides are winning, Harrison forced himself to a fight against

Eduardo Angga. Harrison defeated Angga after a brutal duel but his troops

managed to save their commander in time.

Page 15: Emperor 1 HL

Despite Eduardo Angga and his troops retreating from the battle, Chaos Lionheart

and his men were on the verge of regaining Ben Chao’s city. They mowed down

Howards’ men still occupying Felicia Dai’s city and headed towards the fortified

city.

Howards as ambitious as ever and will never allow himself to lose another thing

dear to him, ordered his troops to activate the storm defenses. To Chaos Lionheart

and his troops, they got the perfect storm of their lives. They were greeted by

violent storms nearly obliterating his forces. Chaos Lionheart threw his spear into

the city desperately hopped back into his chariot and ran for his life as fast as he

could leaving with minimal numbers of men. Howards proceeded with his men

destroying what’s left of his tormentor’s troops.

Emmanuel Howards advanced again to Felicia Dai’s city and hurriedly ordered

his subjects to build him another palace for his future post. Howards is now the

second most powerful man in Ezarra after Roman Chao.

Howards’ celebration of his victory didn’t last long, he found out that Andre Tan

has been murdered and now replaced by his former cruel manager Williamson

Binondo. Williamson Binondo secured his alliance with Roman Chao alongside

with their affluent business allies to build an anti Howards coalition.

Taking advantage of the weakening of Chao forces, Howards and his men went

further to one of Roman Chao’s cities in search of him. Binondo sensing that

Howards is not in his realm ordered an attack to his cities but Howards’

preparedness and adaptability saved his city from which can be interpreted as

destruction. Howards’ men successfully destroyed Binondo’s sentinels.

Howards and his men eventually saw Roman Chao and his allies gathering

massive amount of troops awaiting him for a chess match. Howards led also

massive amount of troops supported by Quezon’s growing immigrant troops

marched towards Roman Chao’s side.

The two engaged in a chess match with neither side inflicted decisive losses.

Roman’s troops managed to answer back everything Howards can throw.

Howards’ men destroying Binondo’s sentinels. Roman’s troops outsmarting

Howards at times and Howards successfully repelling his troops. However, with

Page 16: Emperor 1 HL

Howards’ great foundation in dealing with migrants and their technologies along

with Shitenian assistance, Howards’ fleets won the naval battle against Roman’s

fleets which proved to be the deciding factor in Howards’ ambition of uniting all

of Ezarra from the Chaos.

After the decisive naval battle, Howards turned unconventional having his fleets

ruthlessly decimating Roman’s troops. Howards called upon his allies to finish the

job marching towards the temple where Roman is believed to be taking a lodge.

To the disappointment of Howards and his troops, instead of directing themselves

into the temple, they found themselves entering another large fortified city

protected by cannons and musketeers. Howards called his air force paralyzing the

city but Roman’s gunners destroyed the planes. They even ended up destroying

some of Howards’ high technological fleets. General Magdalo led the cavalry to

distract the gunners killing infantries they crossed upon. By the time, the troops

reached the fortified city they expanded slaying massive number of Roman’s

troops. Roman tried to turn the tide of the battle by summoning large jets to

destroy the troops but Howards’ air force were there to intercept the planes

fighting heavy aerial battles for the first time in Ezarran history.

Howards gave Roman’s city all he got trying his best in order the Chaos never to

stand again from the ashes of the inevitable. Howards and his men were blocked

by General Goro Columba and his troops but were driven away due to Howards’

unnatural aggression.

Howards and his men were repulsed by a large Buddhist statue. It destroyed

several of Howards’ men and back up units. Pericles Alexander and his men

marched towards Howards and his men. Howards fought bravely with the great

warrior but came short. Alexander is just too aggressive with him. He cannot even

convince him of the implications as the great warrior fought with much ferocity.

Gambling on his future, as Alexander is about to be shot by one of Howards’

men, Howards sacrificed himself successfully saving Alexander. Alexander rose

up pushing off Howards and ferociously defeating a number of Howards’ men.

Howards concentrated himself against the large statue upon finding the occupant

is none other than Roman Chao. Howards endured and dodged everything the

Page 17: Emperor 1 HL

statue unleashed and ended up destroying it sending Roman into a retreat escorted

by Alexander and his Spartan men.

Howards led his cavalry troops chasing down the Chao leader killing his men on

the way. They eventually ended up in a cave. Inside the cave, Pericles Alexander

and his men desperately launched an assault despite being outnumbered by

Howards’ men. Howards told his men to stay outside and the two insisted they

shall settle their score with Alexander telling his men to stay aside.

While fighting Alexander, Howards promised him a future in Ezarra and a life

beyond war. Alexander declined telling Howards that he is only going to fool

him. Howards tried every means to convince Alexander parrying and dodging his

aggression. With just one sentence of telling Alexander that he didn’t intend to

waste a young man’s life, Howards gave Alexander dilemmas of whether he

continue fighting for a dying unnecessary cause or live life beyond the isolation of

war. The two fought fiercely on every arsenal they can dished out resulting a

Howards victory. Alexander felt Howards’ compassion when Howards decided

not to kill him leaving him alone to ponder for his future. One of his men

convinced him that he should change sides to continue the glory that still awaits

them in the dark.

Howards continued his way deep within the cave. Enduring rough terrains, he

killed more of Roman’s defenders. After a hard journey, he eventually reached the

hiding place of Roman Chao. Howards saw Roman Chao attempted to escape

therefore stopped him. Roman Chao told Howards that when he died he will go to

the deepest portions of Hell due to what he did. He added that Howards’

ambitions will eventually cause him making him realize that he didn’t do anything

good for the society. Howards replied Roman Chao he is not someone who

ruthlessly pursued his riches in the guise of helping people. Escalating the

tensions between two of Ezarra’s greatest warriors, the two locked horn in a

fateful duel. Howards ended his taunts telling Roman that all the Chao brothers

weren’t innocent either and should be subjected to harsher punishment in Hell.

Howards and Roman Chao eventually locked horns and fought another epic battle

to shape the history of Ezarra. Roman surprised Howards with his martial skills

Page 18: Emperor 1 HL

even overpowering Howards despite his age. He even fired muskets to keep

Howards at bay hitting him at times. Howards remarked that Roman deserved to

be called as the sentinel of the kingdoms of the Chao. Roman continued to pin

Howards down but Howards eventually got the better of the combatants. Both

men started fighting hard with their favorite weapons until age favored Howards

mortally wounding Roman in their duel. Seeing Roman suffering greatly from his

wounds, Howards shot Roman with one mercy shot technically ending the

dominance of the Chaos in Ezarra.

While on his way out of the cave, Pericles Alexander and his troops approached

Howards telling him that they made the best decision in their lives of joining his

ranks. Alexander told Howards that he believes Howards will have the right

principles of ensuring them the glory they are looking into while fighting

alongside with him. Howards smiled telling the young general that Roman’s place

will be in his control when the war is over. There’s more in life than to pursue

glory.

Unfortunately to Howards and his remaining troops were about to fight another

big battle immediately after they were all exhausted fighting Roman Chao and his

men. Howards felt they are in a no way out situation in which they were

concerned by coalition of a rejuvenated Chaos Lionheart, Eduardo Angga, Goro

Columba and with their massive forces respectively. Joining the old players were

King Shongsen Gesar and his massive elephant troops. Lionheart was also joined

by Williamson Binondo alongside with their Shitenian warlords. All Howards

could seem to hope for is divine intervention!

The First Great Ezarran War of Chaos:

At first, Howards and his men despite exhausted managed to hold themselves

against Lionheart’s forces. Towards the duration of the battle, Lionheart’s planned

seemed successful. To use Roman Chao as a pawn in trapping Howards and his

allies ripe for their destruction. Lionheart’s forces seemed penetrating Howards’

forces sending them in the brink of their deaths.

Page 19: Emperor 1 HL

Miraculously, reinforcements from Howards’ allies saved their leader. Harrison

battered down Eduardo Angga’s forces. Andsuke Toyama successfully drove the

Chao allied Shitenian warlords into submission. To their surprise, Pharaoh

Gibbeon sent his forces disarraying Goro Columba and his allies. General

Magdalo successfully confused Lionheart’s forces. Howards and his men marched

towards the battle. Rejuvenated after a smile on his face telling himself and his

men that Civilian troops are always good, they clashed against Lionheart’s forces.

In the battle, Go Soba clashed against Gesar’s forces. He was weary of Gesar’s

time stopping cavalry alongside with his massive war elephants. Go Soba ordered

his men to blast the incoming Yeti corps and their following cavalries making it

sure they won’t be hit by time stopping forces.

Howards ordered some of his men to help Go Soba. Howards slew many Chao

forces and wanted to reach where Chaos Lionheart is standing. On his way to

Chaos Lionheart, Howards killed some of Shitenia’s most dangerous warlords.

Howards enlisted the help of his Shitenia ninja allies like Thickbeard to reach

Lionheart.

Go Soba commanded his new sentinel tanks destroying many of Gesar’s men.

Gesar led his innumerable time cavalries hoping to crush Soba down. Soba

continued punishing the approaching beasts slightly injuring Gesar. With Gesar

dismounted, he exhausted his projectiles towards Soba but Soba used his

technological superiority seemingly killed Gesar before the latter could kill him.

Chaos Lionheart led a number of chariots to prove that he is not afraid of

Howards. He killed many of Howards’ ninja but Thickbeard proved ferocious

even wresting one of the chariots to drive it in his own. Howards’s men helped

their leader destroy many of Lionheart’s missile units.

As Howards is approaching Lionheart, he encountered two of Lionheart’s best

assassin. The first one he recognized the assassin as one of his bullies while

working at Ben Chao’s ventures. With his scythe ready to kill Howards, Howards

gave him a death blow splitting him into halves. The second one is a little more

difficult. She is none other than Lionheart’s daughter Melissa Robinson. With her

perfect fighting skills, she nearly killed Howards but Howards found a way

Page 20: Emperor 1 HL

removing her out of the scene. Many more Chao men trying to defend Lionheart

but Howards with the help of Thickbeard easily made short work of them.

Howards’ assistants were easily destroyed by Chaos Lionheart who wanted to

challenge the new man of Ezarra in a one on one duel. Lionheart confused

Howards with his famed hooks until Howards found a way negating his offense

squarely severely injuring Lionheart’s face. Lionheart challenged Howards with

his spear but due to his injuries, Howards punished him with a deathblow ending

the life of his tormentor since he stepped into the Ezarran soil.

Wanting to take Lionheart’s head for himself, Howards advanced towards

Lionheart’s corpse but was driven away by Chao war planes. Harumi’s women

warriors attended to Howards escorting him into safety. Sensing Lionheart dead,

the rest of the forces eventually went back to their territories giving Howards the

defining moment of his Ezarran career. He is now the most powerful man in

Ezarra.

Harumi reunited with Howards in Roman Chao’s city. Howards thanked Harumi

of her loyal assistance to Howards. A young boy came between them. Howards

asked Harumi of the boy’s identity. Harumi replied that Howards is the father of

Raphael Ezarra. She was pregnant while working in Ezarra giving birth to him

after she went back to her hometown. Howards carried the boy proudly telling his

men that he will be the future of Ezarra. Harumi apologized to Howards for her

selfishness that she let Raphael stay in Shitenia while she wanted to help him.

Howards replied that since they were all reunited, they should face the future

together. The “man of Ezarra” thanked his wife that she is always with him for

better and worse. Harumi wanted to explain everything but Howards gave her the

benefit of the doubt that Raphael is healthy and is destined to be strong like him.

Howards and Harumi along with their followers went back triumphantly in

Ezarra. Howards embraced Gibbeon and promised him he will forge an eternal

relationship with Amenopolis. Howards may have wanted to further reunite

Ezarra but decided to stop war for a time being to stabilize his empire.

In the following years, war was absent in the mind of Howards. He focused on

solidifying his domains. He reassigned his allies ruling over various cities in

Page 21: Emperor 1 HL

Ezarra. He befriended and forged alliances with various business leaders to

contribute the economy of Ezarra with the likes of future Ezarran nation builders

Dean Flavio, The Rivera Brothers and many more. He further improved the

economic situations in Ezarra making it nearly a superpower second only to

Shitenia. He funded the modernization of Ferdinand Quezon’s immigrant

community turning it into a large well established city. He forged great

relationship with the nation of Gibbeon and his wife Merea. He helped the new

migrants spreading into the outer limits of Ezarra’s known world which later gave

birth to great cities such as Futech and Chuoa. More importantly, during this time

of peace, he made Ezarra into a cosmopolitan nation giving it preeminence in the

whole world.

Interestingly, in five years of peace and stability, Howards and Harumi were

formally married in an Ezarran ceremony. They produced three more children that

will play a role shaping Ezarran history after Howards’ reign. Melchizedek

Harrison adopted two young children named Rayn Ezarra and Aliya Stargazer

after Harrison’s wife unable to bear him children. Both children are soon to be

strong and powerful individuals decisive in securing the future of the superpower.

The Ezarran Man of War:

Tensions are building in Amenopolis where the position of Pharaoh Gibbeon and

Queen Merea are threatened by her own relatives especially with the likes of the

jealous Harin collaborated by the Imperial Minister’s partner along with her

family.

Emmanuel Howards set off to the lower continent to set things right. At first he

visited Ferdinand Quezon’s nation and was touched of the proliferation of

improvised immigrant societies.

Howards made a speech continuously inspiring the new immigrants ending up

providing them gold to build up their society. He and his men went to a prize

fighting event seeing a dynamic and diligent immigrant fighter in Alvin

Bersamina catching his sight.

Page 22: Emperor 1 HL

Howards bargained the future of Bersamina with his promoter with Bersamina

joining Howards and his men for a new shift in his career. Bersamina revealed to

Howards that he has been training and fighting hard in hope of catching up to

Merea’s standard of living. Howards commended him of his ambitions and

desires.

Howards assured Bersamina that he will be playing a role that will soon help

Merea define her future. Bersamina added that he failed Merea as his former

boyfriend in Earth because of not being too ambitious for their future that time.

Howards in his golden armor along with his men entered Amenopolis to check on

the tensions rising within. Howards encouraged Merea’s party and Harin’s party

to reconcile with each other for the sake of peace.

Howards chaired the signing of their treaty for mutual cooperation even offering

Harin additional lands for her to stay in luxury giving her gold so she would not

have the time to bother Merea and her husband.

Howards asked Imperial Minister Boi to train Alvin Bersamina so he could be

ready in the service of the queen.

Back in Ezarra, Howards started training Raphael and his siblings to secure their

family’s legacy. He continued expanding Ezarra for its future role as superpower.

Months later, Howards found out that Harin broke the treaty igniting a civil war in

Amenopolis.

Howards ordered his allies to guard Ezarra tightly because he will be in

Amenopolis to aid his friend. Accompanied by Harrison and two of Ezarra’s

greatest generals, they set off to Amenopolis.

Howards went to Merea asking what happened to her nation. Merea answered his

friend that Harin attempted to overthrow her out of jealousy with her husband

trying to replace Boi. Howards felt that the talks failed, arranged his troops for

war.

Emmanuel Howards in his golden armor, fighting alongside Melchizedek

Harrison with his two great generals Erik Terumoto and Angelo Espina set off

their sights to pacify Harin. The Pharaoh also gave his assistance to finish off the

job by himself.

Page 23: Emperor 1 HL

Harin surprisingly led huge army against Howards and his allies. She was joined

by Boi’s partner’s obese son. Gibbeon remarked that she is also joined by Ezarran

armies. Howards remarked that somebody is backing her up that’s why she has

the guts to challenge Merea’s authority.

The combined forces of Gibbeon, Howards, Harrison and his two generals

defeated Harin’s forces restoring order in Civi Island. Ferdinand Quezon’s naval

power assisted Howards and his allies destroying Ezarran fleets. Queen Merea

and her husband solidified their posts and became Civi Island’s undisputed

leaders. Queen Merea changed her name to Aeis Neferea.

Emmanuel Howards decided Harrison and much of his men should stay in Civi

Island to guard Neferea while the situation is still volatile. He ordered his trusted

ally to protect his friend with his life. He assured Harrison that he will be

rewarded afterwards.

Howards and his allies went back to Ezarra finding out Ezarra was on chaos

suffering numerous terrorist activities while he’s away down in Amenopolis. He

found out that Chaos Lionheart’s loyal troops have returned taking advantage of

his absence for another major war in the horizon.

Howards regrouped his forces defending his territories from Lionheart’s forces.

After defeating their forces, Williamson Binondo added insult to injury attempted

to launch his desperate attack to destroy the dreams of his former employee

forever.

Williamson Binondo may have done that a long time ago but with Howards’

technological superiority and his adaptability decisively defeated Williamson and

his superior technological forces. Howards and his forces for the first time, forced

their entries in Williamson’s city. They faced more of Williamson’s skyscraper

giants destroying many of them. Howards came face to face with Williamson’s

main technological giant with himself as the pilot.

Williamson seemingly dominated Howards in his desperate attempt to destroy

him. But after enduring insane amount of artilleries from Williamson’s vehicle,

Howards fought harder turning the tide of the battle figuring out where to hit

Williamson in order to win. A plane crashed into the head of Williamson’s

Page 24: Emperor 1 HL

skyscraper robot instantly killing him. Howards and his men pacified the people

occupying the once strong ally of the Chaos.

Ezarra seemingly plunged into another series of battle leading to another war that

will change its history! Howards was informed by Harrison that Civi Island was

again under attack by Neferea’s relatives. What’s more alarming is that the forces

have multiplied tenfold with new reinforcements from Chaos Lionheart and

Gesar’s time stopping forces.

Howards sent Neferea and Harrison additional technological reinforcements along

with some of General Magdalo’s cavalries to help his friends. Howards called all

his allies for a final briefing on what to do in the upcoming major war.

Howards assigned Go Soba to deal with the last of Gesar’s forces in the Western

side. He enlisted General Magdalo and his cavalries to deal with Goro Columba

with Lionheart’s various business allies. Dean Flavio was assigned to assist

Magdalo to defeat the business leaders. The Rivera brothers were commanded to

pursue the terrorists into Protopolia. Pericles Alexander was ordered to deal with

Eduardo Angga. Andsuke Toyama was told to aid Howards on his way to

Alhambra, Lionheart’s city by either conquering the final Chao city or forcing

negotiations with the last Chao leader. Howards believed Andsuke’s ability to

negotiate because of his calm and down to earth attitude during adversities.

Before going to an all out war, Howards told his wife Harumi to go to Shitenia

with all of their children to try convincing the warlords not to join Chaos

Lionheart. Andsuke Toyama escorted Harumi Asano and the children with

minimal security so enemy forces will take them as merely travelers and won’t do

harm with them.

Shortly after Andsuke and Harumi left, Howards, dressed in his famous golden

armor awaits in his new headquarter in Ezarra overlooking enemy forces

approaching the city for war.

One of Howards’ generals commented that Howards will be an easy target

wearing the golden armor. Howards replied the general that it will be good for

them to have the opportunity if they can do it, it’s just it will definitely cost their

lives doing it.

Page 25: Emperor 1 HL

Pharaoh Gibbeon assisted by Harrison’s men fought fiercely in the outskirts of

Amenopolis. In the early stages of the war, Gibbeon managed to slay tens of

thousands of Harin’s men. Melchizedek Harrison proved himself as one of

Ezarra’s most distinguished commanders by giving his share defeating

Lionheart’s large troops.

Gibbeon called upon his chariots paralyzing Harin’s forces. Harrison ordered his

men to fire their projectiles stopping Gesar’s men.

Neferea’s generals Ahkmose and Ahmosis did great job forcing Harin’s forces

into retreat.

Alvin Bersamina demonstrated his proficiency in hand to hand combat

successfully helping Harrison defeat more Ezarran forces under Lionheart.

Gibbeon ended the day by sending his solar fleets inflicting heavy casualties on

both Harlyn and Lionheart’s forces.

Harrison along with his men battered the retreating Ezarran armies.

An unknown man in a lion’s war mask believed to be Chaos Lionheart swore on

oath with his blood to an unknown Chao guardian deity to help him win the war

against Emmanuel Howards. The masked warlord enlisted the help of one of his

most oppressive generals Marko Antonio Sanchez to defend Alhambra with all of

his life in case of invasion.

Andsuke went back safely to Ezarra informing Howards and his allies that

massive enemy troops headed their way to their cities.

The coalition of forces led by Eduardo Angga, Goro Columba, Shongsen Gesar,

Antonio Sanchez and various business leaders such as Martin Larusso led the first

battalions of forces towards Ezarra for invasion.

Howards and his men successfully repelled enemy forces destroying much of

them. They decided to advance towards the main attacking force as planned.

Howards with massive amount of troops assisted by Andsuke Toyama were on

their way to conquer Alhambra and the Eastern Chao kingdom. Go Soba aligned

his men to attack Gesar. General Magdalo aligned his cavalry units towards the

forces of Goro Columba, Martin Larusso, Lawrence Pomona and Eugenio

Altadena. Dean Flavio led his heavy forces to assist General Magdalo. The Rivera

Page 26: Emperor 1 HL

brothers set themselves marching towards Protopolia to pacify the terrorists. The

young general Pericles Alexander led his forces valiantly towards Eduardo Angga

and his chariots.

Howards and Andsuke ordered the officials to tighten up the city defenses while

they are away. Howards’ allies ordered fleet of warships softening up the much

larger enemy forces. The warships were then forced to engage against their

counterparts. Planes were called upon to assist the ships with the coalition doing

the same thing.

General Menandro Magdalo led his heavy cavalry units including his light

armored tanks inflicting numerous casualties on Goro Columba’s forces. Dean

Flavio assisted General Magdalo in subduing Goro Columba’s slave giants.

General Magdalo further advanced towards Goro’s forces and is winning against

him. Dean Flavio used his physical strength battering down Altadena’s inferno

troops.

Go Soba ordered some of his troops to assist Dean and Menandro. He

commanded his gigantic mechanical tanks destroying much of Gesar’s war

elephant units. He and his troops closed into Gesar’s forces killing many of them.

Augusto and Fernando Rivera ruthlessly pushed their way towards Protopolis

unleashing missiles destroying much of the Protopolian forces. They followed up

launching their missiles destroying further units damaging the outer parts of

Protopolis.

Additional Ezarran forces led their storm chariots in all direction to help their

generals win the battle.

On their way to the far flung Eastern Chao Kingdom, Howards and Andsuke

defeated numerous Ezarran forces until they approached which seemed to be a

heavily defended cosmopolitan city.

Howards and Andsuke were surprised that the buildings are attempting to fire

lasers towards their forces. Both men and their forces retreated few steps back as

they called upon their warships to get the job done.

Howards and Andsuke led a combined Ezarran, immigrant and Shitenian

technological forces destroying all those who stood their way. After the defenders

Page 27: Emperor 1 HL

were defeated, the warships ruthlessly unleashed heavy missiles raining upon the

Chao kingdom. Jet planes suddenly assisted the forces ramming their way towards

the buildings until much of the city is indefensible.

General Menandro Magdalo managed to secure himself a position leading his

army towards Goro Columba’s main forces. His cavalry units were surprised by

Goro Columba’s gunners. He answered Columba and his men with his armored

tanks. With the two forces nearing each other, both resorted to classic melee hand

to hand combat.

Goro Columba killed huge number of Magdalo’s cavalry units with the latter

answering him by also killing many of his men. Having both forces fighting on a

stand still, General Magdalo in frustration, emptied his revolver killing more of

Goro Columba’s men. Goro Columba shouted towards Magdalo taunting him that

since his commander killed his great friend Roman Chao, he will be the one to

present his head to Howards before putting him in Hell.

General Magdalo challenged Columba with in a sword fight. Columba

intimidated Magdalo with punishing blows from his weapon trying to demoralize

him. General Magdalo fought back eventually saw the opening killing General

Columba. Seeing the demoralized forces of Columba, he led his forces driving

them away killing much of them.

Dean Flavio fought hard against Eugenio Altadena eventually defeating him

forcing him into retreat. He fought more ferociously against Lawrence Pomona

like an action star decimating his forces, killing his top generals sending him into

retirement and bankruptcy. Reunited with General Magdalo and his additional

forces backed up by heavy Ezarran reinforcements, they pushed Martin Larusso

out of his battles taking over his resources sending him into uncertainty.

In the great Ezarran war, warriors such as Squad, Thickbeard and Hummer played

their part earning them the distinction of one of Howards’ most dangerous man

due to their ruthlessness slaying innumerable of Chaos Lionheart’s men along

with their loose Shitenian allies.

Page 28: Emperor 1 HL

While waiting for the Ezarran forces to finally put the Eastern Chao kingdom into

submission, Howards and Andsuke with their forces continuously defended

themselves from the Eastern armies and Sanchez’ troops.

Pericles Alexander and his Spartan units ran over against the more powerful

forces of Eduardo Angga. He and his men slew innumerable of Angga’s elite

units. In phalanx position, they even forced the chariots of thinking twice of

trying to ram them. He ordered his archers to put down much of Angga’s men

paralyzing his forces. But Angga was never intimidated. He ordered his forces to

close in against Alexander commencing another bloody battle. Alexander and his

men had a hard time fighting Angga’s much larger forces but with the right

strategy, they reached the threshold of Eduardo Angga.

After another massive but moderate battle, the Rivera brothers found themselves

in the perfect position to invade Protopolis. Augusto told his brother and some of

his forces to remain in the mountain top while he is personally leading his army to

lay a siege in the already weakened city. Augusto led his cavalry along with his

missile tanks destroying bombers who wanted to blow themselves in front of

them. He ordered squad and his troops to ruthlessly gun down the approaching

Protopolian warriors.

Augusto had his own fair share of carnage in which through his deep resentment

of “barbaric and savage” people, he even mutilated the warriors he slew.

Moments later, with the assistance of his brother’s missiles, He ruthlessly

destroyed the city killing much of its defenders. Shortly after making Protopolis

as his base, Augusto and his men plundered the city forcing the officials into

hiding.

When the brothers realized Shitenian forces were on their way to save their

Protopolian allies, Augusto and his men took the spoils of the war with them back

to Ezarra.

After the combined forces of General Magdalo and Dean Flavio finished

defeating the coalition of Chaos Lionheart’s business leaders, they split

themselves to both Soba and Alexander’s assistance.

Page 29: Emperor 1 HL

Clearly being outnumbered, Pericles Alexander is on the verge of losing the

battle. With the arrival of Dean Flavio’s heavy tanks for assistance, Pericles

Alexander rallied his troops slaying more of Angga’s elite units.

Through enough assistance from his allies, Alexander and his men closed into

Angga’s main forces. Angga and his forces fired violent explosives towards

Alexander and his men. Alexander and his men continued their disciplined

approach intercepted the missile units. Angga called more of his men to defeat

Alexander but the glorious warrior stood tall forcing Eduardo Angga to settle a

score with him.

Alexander’s men with ample assistance from Dean’s forces bravely fought

Angga’s much larger forces. Angga told Alexander that he will pay the price of

betraying Chaos Lionheart. Angga started firing missile arrows towards

Alexander. Alexander forced Angga into a traditional fight. Angga resorted on

overpowering Alexander with his size. He held his weapon swinging violently

towards Alexander. Sensing Angga losing stamina, Alexander used his prowess in

battle exhausting Lionheart’s general even more. With Angga becoming too

predictable, Alexander delivered Angga the fatal blow stabbing him in the heart

with his spear. He followed it by thrusting his sword towards Angga’s throat.

Lionheart’s forces saw how Pericles Alexander killed their beloved General

Angga. They went an all out attack killing much of Alexander’s men driving

Dean Flavio’s forces into submission leaving the young general alone.

Despite hugely outnumbered with an impossible probability to win, Pericles

Alexander dedicated his final battle to Howards. Fresh from the win against

Angga, Pericles Alexander used Angga’s bow killing much of Lionheart’s men.

After exhausting his missiles, Alexander charged himself towards Lionheart’s

forces fighting them ferociously like never before. Even he is vastly outnumbered,

he managed to kill huge quantities of Lionheart’s troops. In one last moment of

glory, he enjoyed doing what he always did best until succumbing to Lionheart’s

forces. Even after his death, Lionheart’s men cold bloodedly repeatedly

desecrated the fallen warrior until his corpse became unrecognizable.

Page 30: Emperor 1 HL

With the Eastern Chao kingdom ripe for invasion, Howards’ and Andsuke’s

forces stormed into the city killing more enemy forces. They eventually found out

Damasco Chao. Seeing his enemy helpless before his forces, Howards tried to

negotiate with Damasco even pensioning him with all his gold. Damasco

answered back Howards that gold were nothing compared to what he did to his

brothers. He assessed that Howards will never be able to return him the lost glory

of the Chaos.

Howards compassionately decided to leave alone the beaten man. When Howards

turned his back, Damasco attempted to kill Howards by stabbing him with his

cane. Howards drew his pistol, planning to deliver the bullet to end the Chaos’

misery until Roman Jr. the son of the late Roman Chao intervened.

Roman tried to pacify Howards by sharing him the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Howards countered him telling him that he is planning to resurrect a dead clan

also to divert him from his supreme ambitions. Roman reasoned out with

Howards that Jesus alone is the Foundation of the peace he desperately needs.

Howards shrugged Roman and his gospel as he and his forces set themselves

towards the stronghold of Alhambra.

Howards asked Roman that if Jesus cares about him why he let him endure bitter

pills throughout his life. Roman tried to answer but Howards angrily answered

back telling Roman that he alone is the maker of his own destiny! He added that

he is not willing to leave everything he desperately worked so hard throughout the

years. Sarcastically, Howards ordered Roman to preach the gospel instead to his

own uncle before setting his sights to other people.

Howards and Andsuke commanding the most number of forces left the Eastern

kingdom for Alhambra. Along the way, they were ambushed by Alhambran

drones. Howards and his allies made short work of them. Along the way, Antonio

Sanchez’s forces advancing towards Howards and his troops assisting them with

the drones. Howards ordered his troops, fighting an intense series of battle sparing

no one. They eventually arrived at the gates of the fortified city.

Antonio Sanchez commanded his warships to destroy Emmanuel Howards and his

allies. He viciously rallied the morale of his troops under the banner of Chaos

Page 31: Emperor 1 HL

Lionheart. Howards ordered his warships to engage with Sanchez’s fleets.

Sanchez ordered his troops to fire upon Howards’ forces. Howards, wasting no

time, launched a series of missiles destroying much of Alhambra’s defenses.

Howards’ naval forces opened fire against Sanchez’s fleets. A major war is

breaking out in the fortified city of Alhambra.

Sanchez commanded his army to attack Howards with Alhambran drones. With

the help of Andsuke and Thickbeard, Howards made easy work of Sanchez’s

much larger forces. Howards led the cavalry killing everyone who stood in his

way.

Sanchez felt that he trapped Howards and his men. He commanded his troops to

rain the opposing forces with Alhambran defenses but Howards and his forces

continued pressing on. Sanchez unleashed his main forces outnumbering

Howards. With the right people using the right skills, Howards with the help of

the Shitenians defeated Sanchez’s main forces. Sanchez ran towards a structure

which is believed to be Chaos Lionheart’s hiding place.

Even in the midst of a series of intense battles, Howards used propaganda to the

people calling them to join him in his cause. He nailed it when he retorted in his

anti slavery stance in which Chaos Lionheart through Antonio Sanchez managed

to tighten up their grip on Alhambra’s people through slavery in the guise of good

will and ethics.

Howards and his forces continued galloping into the palace. With fewer men, they

easily made short work of Sanchez’s troops until reaching the place where

Antonio Sanchez was warming himself up.

Howards asked Sanchez about the whereabouts of Chaos Lionheart. Antonio

Sanchez replied Howards that he will not tell him where he was then. Antonio

Sanchez through his oratorical skills insulted Howards that he was no different to

his slaves. Sanchez took it further telling Howards that he is more of a slave than

an actual leader by making Howards recall during his hard days under Ben Chao.

Sanchez saw the hesitation and the frustration in Howards’ face. He challenged

Howards taunting him that if he doesn’t want to be a slave, it is better for him to

get rid of him.

Page 32: Emperor 1 HL

Before challenging Howards, Sanchez called the rest of his men to fend off

Howards’ forces. Sanchez unleashed energy projectiles from his hands surprising

Howards. Sanchez even blasted Howards out of the room. Andsuke tried to assist

his friend but found it difficult to close in to Sanchez. Howards rose up started

attacking Sanchez from all angles. Sanchez attempted to blast Howards but the

latter countered him slashing him heavily. Sanchez fired more beams but

Howards proved to be too fast for him to catch on. Andsuke joined Howards to

finish off Sanchez but they were wrong.

Sanchez switched on to his hawk gauntlets easily winning against the two.

Howards and Andsuke managed to confuse him forcing him into a barrier. At the

same time, Sanchez switched on with his spear. Sanchez demonstrated his skills

by outmatching both Howards and Andsuke. He shrugged off Andsuke’s lethal

skills. Howards drew his gun penetrated Sanchez’s barrier, capitalizing on the

opportunity killing him on the spot. Howards remarked that Sanchez was just

another irritation that separated him from Chaos Lionheart.

Howards and his men barged inside Chaos Lionheart’s throne room but found no

one in sight. Howards sat on Lionheart’s throne taking another well deserved rest.

He ordered his men to spend at least a couple of nights before reuniting with their

allies in search of Chaos Lionheart. In his short stay in Alhambra, Howards

promised the people that by acknowledging his authority over them, they will be

assured of dignity and long term prosperity of their nation without the fear of

being corporate liabilities.

In Amenopolis, Harin never gave up on her ambitions to be the queen of

Amenopolis. She enlisted the aid of a rogue Amenopolian elder, Amun Horaha, a

hawk headed deity. Supported by Chaos Lionheart and Gesar’s combined forces,

Harin, commanded by Patricio Luis headed back to Amenopolis for another major

war, in which she hoped it will be in her favor decisively!

Gibbeon and Neferea were blessed to have his grandfather Aurosis along with the

other elders’ support which gave them more confidence for one last battle that

will finally silence the usurpers to the House of Merea. Gibbeon cooperated with

Page 33: Emperor 1 HL

Harrison, his two generals alongside with the neophyte fighter, Alvin Bersamina

to discuss strategies that will finally end the rebellion of Neferea’s rogue relatives.

With having not much time left, before leaving for war, Gibbeon kissed his wife,

hugged his children as he prepare his forces to defend his nation against the

enemies lurking just outside his land.

Harin with her new forces had infinitely more confidence than all their hard work

will soon pay off. She ordered her forces for an all out assault towards the land of

Neferea. Harrison ordered his men to fire projectiles to lower the enemy defenses.

He commanded his Civilian allies to unleash their solar arsenals to chop down

much of the enemy coalition’s forces.

Remembering how Harin made his wife suffer, Gibbeon along with his massive

forces went directly towards Harin’s forces slaying much of her men. He

commanded his troops projecting solar trajectories reducing much of the enemy

forces. Harrison ruthlessly led his troops against the combined enemy coalitions

with much will to win, this time is for good! Alvin Bersamina fought bravely

having his fair shares of enemy heads. Alvin Bersamina motivated his colleagues

defeating an assortment of enemy forces.

Harrison’s forces launched missiles to disarray the enemy coalitions. Gibbeon

wary of Gesar’s forces launched solar rays mitigating their threats. Harrison’s

forces took advantage of the situation went close into Lionheart’s forces killing

many of them. Ferdinand Quezon supported the Amenopolian leadership by

providing them assistance through his naval forces. He called upon his air units to

destroy the much larger forces.

Gesar’s forces unleashed their war elephants to trample the opposition but the

combined efforts of Gibbeon and Harrison stopped them in their tracks. Gibbeon

went back battling against the rogue Amenopolians. Alvin Bersamina assisted

him on defeating some of Harin’s men. Ferdinand Quezon’s forces continued

firing towards the Lionheart units until their numbers dwindled.

Harrison and his forces battered down some of Gesar’s cavalrymen but lost track

when Gesar’s reinforcement galloped inside Amenopolis. Gibbeon may have

Page 34: Emperor 1 HL

wanted to go back assure the safety of his wife but he is cornered in the great

battle.

Alvin Bersamina, trying to race back to save his former girlfriend, was trapped

also by Harin’s forces. Having no choice, Bersamina fought as hard as he could to

win the battle, clear the way to race against time to save the queen.

Both Amenopolian forces under Gibbeon and Harin’s enemy coalition fought an

evenly difficult fight. They threw everything they got but the battle remained

unsolved. Despite being outnumbered, Harrison and his forces further tried

beyond their best mowing down more enemy forces. His ferocity was witnessed

by his young adopted children, Rayn Ezarra and Aliya Stargazer who were

cheering for him atop the Gustavvi mountain ranges. Rayn Ezarra has great

admiration for his father that he wanted to be like him which proved to be

dramatic on his later adventures.

While Rayn Ezarra and Aliya Stargazer were cheering for their father, enemy

forces sneaked in to soften Harrison up by attempting to abduct the childen but

the two children, even in their tender ages had their fair share of battle prowess.

Ferdinand Quezon saw that the two children were being surrounded by enemy

forces, called upon his troops for their rescue. The poorer immigrants saw their

new homes were being threatened due to the war in the horizon, hopped into their

improvise ships sailing into Civi Island.

Overlooking the battle, Harin felt confident winning the war with the throne of

Neferea within reach. Patricio Luis wanted to have a piece of glory by rallying his

forces down towards Gibbeon. Gibbeon easily made short work of his forces

confusing Patricio Luis into retreat. Patricio along with his remaining men were

cornered by Harrison until his men distracted Harrison allowing him to escape.

Unfortunately, his men paid terrible prices of being defeated one by one by

Harrison’s seasoned forces.

The immigrants arrived in Civi Island armed themselves with their improvised

weapons charged towards the enemy forces shocking warriors from both side.

Ferdinand Quezon scolded his officers for allowing the mob to participate in the

war. The immigrants randomly mobbed the enemy forces braving the seasoned

Page 35: Emperor 1 HL

warriors defeating many men. Harin was furious of the immigrants! She ordered

her men to open fire to the mobs but the mobs were too many for the shocked

troops to overcome.

Amun Horaha stepped in to the battle assuring Harin of her confidence that she

will eventually get the throne with him as her elder. Amun Horaha charged his

solar chariots towards Gibbeon and his forces. Gibbeon answered back igniting an

intense war between the two. Having both of their forces engaging themselves in

an intense and bloody battle, Gibbeon and the hawk headed deity met in the

battlefield for a one on one challenge. Amun Horaha proved his godlike battle

prowess by manhandling Gibbeon but the Amenopolian Pharaoh never gave up.

Gibbeon answered back every godlike arsenal that Amun Horaha gave him. With

determination to preserve his nation for his queen, Gibbeon dished out damages to

Amun Horaha in his own terms defeating him in battle.

The hawk headed deity never too gave up. He transformed himself into a sphinx

like creature with snakes around him catching the attention of every participant in

the battle. Gibbeon remained calm and ready to give everything he got. He even

taunted Amun Horaha that the bigger he is, the easier target he will be.

As Gibbeon expected, Amun Horaha tapped into his semi divine abilities in an

attempt to pin down a mere human such as Gibbeon. Amun Horaha increased his

aggression chasing down Gibbeon like a mouse. Gibbeon turned out using

weapons the elders blessed him which Amun Horaha failed to consider. After

inflicting sufficient damages to the hawk headed sphinx, Gibbeon destroyed

Amun Horaha resulting in a solar explosion demoralizing the enemy army.

The mobs have defeated much of the Ezarran forces. They savagely mangled

Gesar’s forces. Now with the Amenopolian usurpers uncertain with their victory

with Amun Horaha gone, Gibbeon led his forces to victory with Harrison’s forces

capturing the escaping Harin making her a war prisoner.

The victorious Amenopolians along with their allies thanked the immigrants of

their efforts. Harrison, despite his contempt with the immigrants, humbly thanked

their indomitable efforts.

Page 36: Emperor 1 HL

Back in Amenopolis, Gibbeon found out Neferea is nowhere to be found. He

found his children crying in fear telling him that their mother was abducted to be

somebody’s wife. Punching the wall in anger, Gibbeon hoped to find out where to

save his wife and from whom! Gibbeon whispered to himself that if Howards is

nearer to his wife’s whereabouts, let he be the one to save her just as he promised

to her years ago.

Sentinels of the Forbidden Kingdom:

Queen Neferea was abducted by Shongsen Gesar’s men. She was brought to an

unknown location to be one of Gesar’s new wives.

In an obscure location, Chaos Lionheart wearing his war mask prostrated himself

to a strange war god to help him finally win the battle against Emmanuel

Howards’ advancing forces.

Chaos Lionheart was believed to be bargaining with another Chao leader to grant

him supernatural powers and to restore the lost glory of the Chao kingdoms. The

unknown Chao leader asked Chaos Lionheart of a compromise to answer his

wishes.

Emmanuel Howards along with his men fought Lionheart’s troops while on their

way to reunite with their allies. Howards commanded his men to use the new

technologies they acquired in Alhambra for economic purposes in defeating the

enemy.

After a long trek, Emmanuel Howards reunited with his generals. He saw Go

Soba’s forces still fighting hard against Gesar’s men. With the help of Howards’

new technologies, they blasted much of Gesar’s forces. Howards’ Ezarran

warships intercepted Gesar’s fleet of warships.

Gesar’s cavalrymen in huge number descended towards the Ezarran generals but

ended up defeated by Howards’ new preeminent forces. Emmanuel Howards

divided his forces into groups notably a huge number remained fighting in the

plans with the other to penetrate the Chao kingdom beyond the mountains.

Page 37: Emperor 1 HL

Queen Neferea is brought by Gesar’s men to Gesar himself. Gesar ordered his

men to bring her to Chaos Lionheart for the ultimate sacrifice that will make

Howards cry an ocean of blood.

Go Soba and his men blasted the vulnerable areas of the mountains believing they

are passageway towards the mountaintop kingdom. Howards and his troops

handily defeated every Gesar forces that ran towards them with their new

technologies from Alhambra.

Go Soba ordered Howards and the others to enter the passageways to climb their

way up to the mountain kingdom. While climbing up to the final Chao kingdom,

inside the mountain, they encountered a combined coalition of Gesar Lionheart

forces. Howards and his men easily destroyed those who stood their way. Further

up, they continued dominating the enemy forces.

Upon reaching the summit, Howards and his troops were greeted by Carlomagno

Chao’s massive forces led by two of his sons.

Howards ordered his men to stay put blasting everyone in sight immediately

killing one of Carlomagno’s sons. Howards and his troops advanced towards the

enemy forces decimating much of them. Howards’ warships assisted their leader

destroying much of the more dangerous units.

Ezarran warships proceeded bombing the mountain Chao kingdom along with its

temples to ensure smooth entrance by Howards and his forces. Howards and his

forces encountered even more Gesar units negating their time stopping arsenals

ruthlessly blasting them into oblivion!

Howards ordered Go Soba giving him supreme confidence on his ability to take

care of the enemy forces to remain fighting outside the city. Go Soba assured

Howards that he will remain untouchable while he’s blasting Gesar’s men with

his technological weapons. Go Soba affirmed that with him on his side, he will

complete Ezarra’s unification.

Howards and his men entered into the final Chao kingdom killing every warrior

they encountered into the large palace that serves as a sentinel to the roads

beyond. Another of Carlomagno’s son died after being blown away by Go Soba’s

forces.

Page 38: Emperor 1 HL

Upon his arrival in the palace grounds, reinforcements arrived to assist Howards

but Howards ordered them to remain outside for the battle will strictly between

him and the Chaos.

Howards entered Carlomagno’s temple palace encountering a demi god by the

name Er Lang Shen. Er Lang Shen’s pet dog violently barked at Howards

preparing itself to maul him to death. Er Lang Shen told his dog to keep silence

because he will be the one to deal with the intruder.

Er Lang Shen armed himself with his lightning abilities. He told Howards that by

destroying the illustrious Chao leaders, disregarding how society must operate

and being the agent of chaos, he deserved to be put to death. Howards shrugged

off the remarks started attack Er Lang Shen. Er Lang Shen blasted Howards full

with his lighting abilities seemingly knocking Howards unconscious. Howards

recovered from the shock returned with a vengeance. Howards took his time

dodging Er Lang Shen’s deadly attacks, maneuvered his way into his enemy,

fatally defeating him.

Howards saw Er Lang Shen’s pet grieving for its fallen master and hurriedly left

the scene.

Howards proceeded further into the palace entering a room full of demonic

statues. He encountered one of Gesar’s wives, Kaharin Bhikkuti-Gesar telling him

that his friend is due for a ritual sacrifice to restore the glory of the Chaos.

Howards asked Kaharin about the whereabouts of Neferea. Unfortunately,

Kaharin hinted that Howards remained too far from where Neferea is currently

held.

Kaharin ordered her dakinis to attack Howards but pressured in a race against

time, Howards made easy work of the demons. He ran as fast as he could to catch

Kaharin up.

Howards ended up in a dimly lit room with a gate behind believing that will lead

him to the whereabouts of Neferea. Advancing further in the room, Carlomagno

surprised Howards. Carlomagno told him that only the Chaos had the ability to

control time. He added that with time is in his side, in the wake of his victory

Page 39: Emperor 1 HL

against Howards, he will put back his brothers and relatives to their places

restoring the glory of the Chaos.

Carlomagno made it clear to Howards that every person who don’t have time at

their side will be subject to destruction. Howards remarked that even though the

tyranny of time is not with him, he managed to annihilate all the top leaders of the

Chao kingdoms much less Carlomagno Chao, who is next in his list! Carlomagno

insulted by Howards transformed himself into a godlike being growing in size

destroying the temple palace itself.

Carlomagno has grown in divine proportions. He vowed that he will avenge his

fallen brothers along with his sons by destroying Howards. Through the full

power of his time abilities, Carlomagno destroyed a large number of Howards’

forces trapping the rest of his men into his time realm leaving him and Howards

to settle the score to the glory of the fallen clan.

Unable to contain his vendetta towards Howards, Carlomagno continuously

unleashed time stopping attacks to destroy Howards. There were times he almost

pulled it off against Howards but the latter kept fighting with tenacity. Howards

attempted to hit Carlomagno but to no avail. Howards continued monitoring the

Chao leader’s occultic barrage of time stopping abilities. He noticed that when

Carlomagno is exhausted, he became normal again.

Seeing this opportunity, he ran towards Carlomagno repeatedly took advantage of

his fatigue. The pattern remained the same until Howards mixed it up in the end.

He gave everything he got overpowering the normal form of Carlomagno,

wresting the Grandmaster sword from him returning back to anticipate his divine

form once again.

Having the most powerful weapon at his disposal, he was able to damage

Carlomagno even in his divine form. Enjoying the thrill of having to endure semi

divine battles, Howards continued his barrage of melee attacks ending it with

supernatural energy explosions. Once Carlomagno returned back to normal,

Howards blitzed towards him, weathering his control over time destroying him

with the full power of the Grandmaster sword. Thus, effectively ending the

Page 40: Emperor 1 HL

control of the Chao leaders in the land of Ezarra. Howards looted Carlomagno’s

watch acquiring the ability to control over time!

After the defeat of Carlomagno Chao, Howards’ forces returned back to normal.

They resumed heavy fighting to finally take control of the last Chao kingdom.

Howards found himself entering into another large temple that served as an

obstacle in his journey to save Neferea. Inside the temple, Howards defeated

many occultists that tried to block his way. He even fought one of the occultists’

leaders, Darius Tonglun, which will play a role later in Howards’ administration.

Howards proved to be too much for the multidimensional sorcerer earning the

sorcerer’s deep respect for him. Tonglun changed sides ended up joining Howards

and his allies.

Tonglun told Howards that he is one of a kind fighter. He convinced his fellow

colleagues to fight for the new leader of Ezarra. Howards thanked Tonglun of his

change of heart but never hesitated to ask about Neferea’s whereabouts. Tonglun

revealed that Neferea is currently inside the Temple of Triumph in New Alhambra

in which they were closing in. Tonglun dismissed the notion that Gesar wanted to

marry Neferea. He frankly told his new ally that Neferea will be used as a human

sacrifice by Chaos Lionheart to bargain with his dead ancestor to restore the lost

glory of the Chao clan. Howards thanked Tonglun of revealing Neferea’s

location. He ordered Tonglun and his followers to help him overcome the

defenders so they might reach New Alhambra.

Howards, Tonglun and his followers fought their way defeating even more

opponents until they reached a large shrine. Awaiting them is Mandarin Khan,

probably a Chao war god. Tonglun warned Howards that Mandarin Khan is one

dangerous deity. Howards remarked that as long he has the best sword in

existence, Mandarin Khan stood no chance.

Mandarin Khan silently prepared himself to battle against Howard and his friends.

Go Soba eventually caught up with Howards and his new allies. He positioned his

men shooting Mandarin Khan but to no avail. Mandarin Khan retaliated against

Go Soba’s men easily killing them all one by one. Tonglun’s men attacked

Mandarin Khan with their magic but also ended up being killed by the war deity.

Page 41: Emperor 1 HL

Howards told Mandarin Khan that he is not all about playing games. Howards

started aggressively trying to pin Mandarin Khan but was easily dominated by the

war god. Mandarin Khan demonstrated supreme mastery of warfare by sending

the three men into confusion barely escaping with their lives.

Mandarin Khan continued asserting himself unleashing supernatural abilities

seemingly rendering Howards and company ineffective. Howards clashed with

sword but was overpowered. Howards told Tonglun to cooperate with him in

order to overcome Mandarin Khan. Mandarin Khan continued his dominance over

Howards with Howards barely hitting Mandarin Khan with his new sword.

Mandarin Khan continued chasing Howards until finally gripping him. Tonglun

turned the tide of the battle by unleashing powerful spells stunning the war god.

He sent Mandarin Khan’s being into other dimensions slowing him down. Go

Soba continued shooting Mandarin Khan as long as he can. Howards hit

Mandarin Khan with his sword damaging him. Mandarin Khan returned to his

senses fought back against Howards and his allies. Tonglun set the distance

released powerful spells negating Mandarin Khan’s aggressiveness. Howards and

Soba took the advantage hitting Mandarin Khan on all angles.

Mandarin Khan started unleashing violent explosions hoping to end Howards and

his allies. He aggressively shifted towards Howards throwing Soba around the

room. Howards clashed metals with him and was on the verge of being killed.

Tonglun hit Mandarin Khan with another powerful spell giving Howards the

opportunity to slash him in the head. Mandarin Khan shrugged off the

protagonists leapt above the room unleashing barrages of energies to time for

Howards’ destruction. Soba continued shooting on Mandarin Khan but was hit by

one of the energies.

Seeing Howards in confusion, Mandarin Khan leapt towards Howards but

Howards feigned confusion beautifully countered Mandarin Khan with multiple

powerful slashes finishing him off.

Immediately after his hard won victory over the war deity, Howards and his

friends proceeded further in a race against time to save Neferea from his eternal

enemy, Chaos Lionheart.

Page 42: Emperor 1 HL

The Temple of the Forgotten Glory:

Howards and his forces proceeded further but stopped momentarily after finding

out a huge number of Lionheart defenders stationed themselves for war.

Howards’ generals along with their troops reunited with Howards to prepare for

an assault to New Alhambra Lionheart’s forces saw Howards’ forces along with

their leader planned to launch an all out direct assault against them to defend their

city.

Howards ordered his men to use their Alhambran technology blasting the

assaulting troops killing many of them. The Rivera brothers cooperated with the

forces launching several missiles decimating some of them. General Magdalo led

his mighty cavalry even splitting them outfighting the enemy troops.

The tide has turned when the enemy forces answered Howards and his men by

galloping towards their enemies. General Magdalo fought harder but fell short.

Howards and his men continued assisting his generals using projectile superiority

to save their allies in time.

Go Soba told Howards that Shitenian reinforcements have arrived. Howards

questioned the Shitenian loyalties but was surprised upon seeing the warriors

charging towards Lionheart’s forces. Howards led himself towards the enemy

forces ruthlessly finishing them off.

Lionheart’s forces brought out one of their best generals, Jose Langharama in a

desperate attempt to save the Chao legacy. Jose Langharama led his forces by

galloping into the side of the enemy to have an easier time demonstrating his

military prowess cutting everyone who came close.

Jose Langharama distracted the enemy forces by dividing his forces into groups in

all angles confusing Howards’ forces. Langharama’s strategy worked terrifically

defeating much of Howards’ forces. He easily defeated nearly killing General

Magdalo costing him his famed cavalrymen. His forces made short work of Go

Soba’s gunners.

Page 43: Emperor 1 HL

After breaking the enemy lines defeating much of Howards’ disarrayed forces, he

went charging into Howards’ himself. Jose Langharama with his men destroyed a

number of Shitenian forces along the way.

With Langharama approaching his forces, Howards prepared himself to clash

with Jose Langharama. Langharama endured Howards’ aggressiveness making

him ineffective. Howards continued slashing his way against Langharama but was

slashed near his heart. Howards was assisted by Soba’s gunners to save him but

the gunners were killed by Langharama’s charging men.

Langharama continued jutting towards Howards taking advantage of the injuries

Howards suffered until Langharama was destroyed after being repeatedly blasted

by one of Augusto Rivera’s turrets saving their leader in time. Howards saluted

the brave fallen commander in Langharama afterwards. With the death of their

commander, Howards’ forces had easier time destroying the rest of the defenders.

Howards’ forces continued fighting outside the city until both sides gave way to

Howards and his forces entering the city.

Howards ordered his tanks to go with him to help him destroyed any defenses that

will might be detrimental to them. Taking cover for his wounds, Howards ordered

Go Soba’s forces to avenge themselves by blasting the remnants of Langharama’s

forces. Andsuke Toyama led his samurai forces defeating the last of

Langharama’s forces demoralizing Chaos Lionheart’s forces.

Clearing the way for a triumphant entry to the city, Augusto Rivera ordered his

brother Fernando to launch longer ranged missiles to destroy the walls of the city

along with the advancing troops.

When the smokes were cleared, Howards commanded his tanks into the city to

destroy its defenses. After the tanks finished off the defenses, Howards led his

forces into the city.

Using his charisma to acquire the favor of the people, Howards and his forces

triumphantly galloped throughout the city like victorious conquerors. They

gracefully defeated Lionheart soldiers who came in their way. Howards divided

his forces into the groups by galloping around the city in a triumphant manner to

intimidate both enemy and the people to acknowledge his authority.

Page 44: Emperor 1 HL

Howards regrouped with his forces galloped up to the mountain. They noticed a

strange structure down from where they were standing. They galloped through

thick forests fighting more Lionheart forces on their way, defeating more war

elephant units reaching the end of the jungles. They found out that the temple

securely sat above the mountains surrounded by a large lake.

Setting their sights to the distant structure, Howards and his men encountered a

draconian whalelike creature that serves as the temple guardian. After defeating

the beast, Howards used its carcass to cross to the other side up to the temple

structure.

Wasting no time, Howards ordered his forces to blast the last of the defenders.

They climbed up the mountains defeating more men reaching the threshold of the

temple structure.

Howards told his troops to remain outside to defend possible assaults from enemy

forces. Howards and Go Soba proceeded inside the temple structure to save

Neferea.

Queen Neferea was shown lying in a ritual table surrounded by chanting maroon

robed priests led by Gesar overlooked by Chaos Lionheart. Chaos Lionheart was

interrupted by one of his men telling him that Howards and his men had arrived to

save Neferea even telling him he is in real danger. Kaharin tried to convince

Chaos Lionheart that he has still plenty of time to restore the glory of the Chaos.

Kaharin even asked Chaos Lionheart to abort the ritual, save it for next time for

the sake of his safety. She attempted to convince Chaos Lionheart that the clan

needs him the most. She continued that with his life at risk, the clan will die with

him. Chaos Lionheart silenced his advisers. He told them that he will stay and the

glory of the Chaos will be heard for all eternity.

Neferea was brought into a dark room hung in a stake for the consummation of

the ritual sacrifice to revive the dead clan of the Chaos. One of Howards’ troops

ran towards Howards reporting to him that an SUV vehicle went out of the temple

structure heading beyond the horizon. Howards shrugged off the report telling his

soldier to get out of the temple for he is ordered to defend the temple from further

attacks.

Page 45: Emperor 1 HL

Howards and Go Soba advanced inside the temple blasting enemy forces that tried

to stop them from saving Neferea. Howards and Soba ended up in the charnels

where the ashes of the past Chao leaders are interred.

Inside the columbarium, the acid drenched blood monster that Howards faced

long time ago, infiltrating one of Felicia Dai Chao’s palaces appeared to the two.

Howards told the monster that he admitted barely escaping with his life but this

battle will be the downfall of the monster. Howards used his flamethrower backed

up by Soba’s powerful weapons proved to be more than enough to finally destroy

the monster.

Howards and Soba went further until they reached the place where Neferea was

being chanted by the priests before the sacrifice. Howards and Soba were

surprised by Gesar’s Pashupati units who kept firing divine arrows to the two. Go

Soba assisted Howards while the latter blitzed his way slaying the archers.

Gesar ordered more of his Pashupati units to rain arrows towards Howards and

Soba but before they hit the two, Go Soba pumped every arsenal necessary for

crowd control. Howards encountered Gesar crossing both their weapons against

each other.

Go Soba told Howards that he will be the one to fight Gesar. Howards tried to

argue with Soba that Gesar cost him his job in the bank. Soba countered Howards

that the job didn’t actually matter to him. He added that Howards should

immediately go to Neferea because time is running out for him. Gesar allowed

Howards to go beyond to save Neferea wishing him good luck.

Anxiety eventually went into most of Howards’ men. They started to worry about

their leader. They barged inside the temple finding one of Gesar’s wives, Hua

Wen Shen and her children. They asked the queen along with her children to go

with them for her safety. The children went out with the men but Wen Shen

decided to remain to be with her husband.

Howards went into room where Neferea is left to the dark. He tried to release the

queen but the priests tried to stop him. Howards pulled off his pistols killing all

the priests. A huge beast from Hell tried to devour Neferea to join him in Hell.

Page 46: Emperor 1 HL

Howards not allowing for something tragic to happen to his dearest friend, he

swung his sword repelling the beast.

Howards released Neferea with the two sharing a tender yet dramatic moment.

Pharaoh Gibbeon accompanied by both Harrison and Alvin Bersamina followed

Howards into Neferea’s rescue as well. Howards apologized to the Pharaoh. He

told Gibbeon that he is doing this to repay him of his drunkenness and his

unconditional love for his wife.

Gibbeon thanked Howards while he took Neferea along with his companions back

to civilization. Howards went deeper into the temple hoping to settle the score

with Chaos Lionheart.

Shongsen Gesar remarked Go Soba has been always a great friend to Howards.

He continued that Go Soba is willing to take risks for the twisted ambition of his

friend. Go Soba replied Gesar that it is him who shall settle the score between the

two of them. Gesar started laughing telling Go Soba that he is on a suicide

mission fighting a futile cause.

Gesar prepared his weapons trying to intimidate Soba with his archery skills. Go

Soba swiftly dodged the divine projectiles replying Gesar by blasting him with his

weapons. Soba exclaimed that he will repeat what he did to him during their first

encounter. Gesar kept firing his arrows but failed to destroy Soba.

Gesar equipped his Vajra telling Soba that he lamented that when they became

leaders of Ezarra, certainly it will not be a successful one. Gesar bragged Soba

that he will not use the same strategy during their first encounter expecting an

easy victory.

Gesar used his prowess harnessing his proficiency in divine weapons trying to pin

Soba down. Soba surprised Gesar with his improved agility and proper timing.

Soba knew that Gesar is too dangerous without the proper strategy. Soba blasted

Gesar with his devastating weapons every time Gesar made mistakes of failing to

kill him. Soba continued punishing Gesar for his shortcomings until Gesar took a

knee down but not truly defeated.

After saving Neferea, Howards went further diving into the deepest parts of the

temple. He encountered Melissa Robinson and her ninja corps trying to stop him

Page 47: Emperor 1 HL

from reaching Chaos Lionheart. Howards tried to warn Melissa to back off

because he doesn’t want to add another casualty in war. Melissa countered him

telling him to stop pretending being a good person he’s not. She added that she

will stop anyone who tried to cross against Chaos Lionheart.

Howards repeated his word to Melissa that he doesn’t want to fight her and her

corps. He tried to convince her to leave everything behind to start a new with

hope. Melissa irritated by Howards’ sugar-coated words decided to attack him

along with her troops.

Melissa along with her troops demonstrated their deadly fighting skills trying to

provoke Howards to take action against them. However, Howards remained

unmoved. Melissa and her companions surrounded Howards trying to break him

down but Howards didn’t return a hand only to simply dodge their attacks.

Howards continuously dodged the enemies’ deadly assaults until he is about to

make a dramatic move that will end the fight immediately.

He whispered to himself that once he is wounded by either Melissa or her

companions, he will honor what they wished for. After one of the ninjas’ jabbed

her sword to Howards’ right waist, Howards countered the ninja slashing her in

the midsection. He connected his attack by dodging another deadly blow slashing

the next one in the chest. He followed the next one who almost had him by a

leaping slash slicing her horizontally. He successfully dodged another ninja who

tied to leap on him decapitating her. He jumped from her shoulders vertically

slicing the next one vertically. He followed his assault penetrating Melissa’s

defenses killing her shortly. Melissa and her companions got what they wished

for!

Howards eventually reached Chaos Lionheart who applauded him for a job well

done even killing his battle seasoned daughter. Howards resented Chaos

Lionheart of even using his own relatives to do his own capricious whims.

Howards exclaimed that right in the place, he will end Chaos Lionheart dying

with the vain glory of the fallen Chaos. Lionheart remarked that it will not be easy

for Howards. Chaos Lionheart pitied Howards telling him that he is tired of the

mind games he has been making throughout the years. He gave in to Howards’

Page 48: Emperor 1 HL

demands that he will grant him what he always wished for, a fateful battle

between commanders that will finally culminate into a new age in Ezarran

history.

Chaos Lionheart seated on his throne in his glory reminded Howards that the

mind remained the most effective yet decisive battle arsenal in battle. He added

that if he failed to use it, he will simply be another casualty in the war. He

summoned his drones to assist him in battle against to the destroyer of his clan.

Chaos Lionheart ordered his drones to kill Howards. Howards trying to live up to

his defining moment ruthlessly hunted down every one of the drones. Lionheart

summoned more of his drones. Howards used his pistol destroying some of them.

He blitzed his way attacking Lionheart’s throne until it gave way. Howards

neutralized the last of the drones rendering Chaos Lionheart alone.

He continued hacking down Chaos Lionheart’s throne forcing Chaos Lionheart to

challenge him on a classic battle between the finest commanders of their era.

Chaos Lionheart told Howards that he will purge him of what he did to his clan.

He used his hooks lashing towards Howards. Howards found a way countering his

hooks. He blitzed towards Chaos Lionheart effectively avoiding his lethal lassos,

damaging him with the Grandmaster stunning Lionheart. Howards stole another

opportunity hitting Lionheart with his katana.

Howards continued fighting violently against his long time tormentor. He

continued his assault repeating the same pattern but Lionheart devised a new

strategy to keep Howards at bay. Lionheart used his spear dishing powerful

damages to Howards. Howards continued aggressively advanced towards

Lionheart clashing his sword against the tip of his spear. Lionheart countered

hitting Howards in the ribs, overpowering him driving him away from him.

Chaos Lionheart interchanged his weapons to confuse Howards. He started to go

aggressive against Howards knocking him down. For a great finish, he leapt high

to finish Howards off but Howards used his katana slashing him in the chest to his

mask bloodying Lionheart. Howards connected with the full power of his

Grandmaster seemingly finishing Lionheart out.

Page 49: Emperor 1 HL

Howards went into Chaos Lionheart hoping to destroy him once and for all but

Lionheart outsmarted him disarming him forcing the two into a violent hand to

hand combat. Without their weapons, both commanders decided to use their fists

with the full brunt of their furies continuously violently beating each other up.

Howards thinking about everything Chaos Lionheart did making his life miserable

inflicted extreme fistic damages to Chaos Lionheart destroying much of his war

mask revealing his badly deformed face. Lionheart in retaliation for the glory of

his fallen kingdom destroyed much of Howards’ upper torso armor punching him

straight to his face. The two continued inflicting punishment to each other until

they were transported into an unknown arena straight from the bowels of Hell.

Gesar, unable to accept his defeat in the hands of Go Soba transformed into his

semi divine form. Gesar threatened Soba that there is nothing he could do to

defeat him. Gesar even bragged that luck is not on Soba’s side. Gesar went

directly towards Soba to punish him with his godly powers. Soba pumped decent

amount of high technological weaponry trying to damage Gesar but to no avail.

Gesar filled the room with his divine rage bullying his way towards Soba. Soba

realized that he has nothing in disposal to stop Gesar. Hua Wen Shen distracted

her husband giving Soba new ammunitions.

Gesar felt his wife betrayed him blasting her with divine energies. Gesar

continued bullying his way towards Soba with full confidence of destroying him

but Soba made good use of his new ammunitions hitting Gesar with huge amounts

of damages, piercing his divinity. Gesar proceeded to use his many arms

punishing Soba into submission but Soba won’t waiver having Gesar’s number at

his side. Soba dished another round of damage to Gesar even destroying some of

his arms. Gesar recovered made full use of his divinity to end Soba but Soba gave

everything he got sending Gesar into the brink of defeat. Soba felt he was running

out of ammunitions to defeat Gesar. Gesar continued pushing himself knowing

full well the end is near for Soba.

Soba, with one last bullet blasted one of Gesar’s weapons partially disarming him.

Gesar continued to bully his way to Soba but Soba used Gesar’s size advantage to

his own advantage stealing one of Gesar’s weapons. Soba let Gesar bully him

Page 50: Emperor 1 HL

further until he perfectly countered Gesar stabbing him in the body. He quickly

went into Wen Shen’s unconscious body getting more ammunitions blasting

Gesar defeating him for good. After enduring another life and death battle, Soba

got exhausted and sat beside one of the opposite walls feeling good after winning

his greatest battle.

Wen Shen went back to her senses attending to her fallen husband. Nearing death,

Gesar humbly apologized to his wife of all of his mistakes, his shortcomings and

making and always disappointing her wife. Gesar added that nonetheless, they

raised their children well assuring them of their good future regardless of

circumstances. Gesar lovingly thanked his wife of her loyalty that she is always

there for him no matter which path he took. Gesar cryptically told his wife that

she remained the best woman he has ever loved and wished to be together with

her even beyond the spiritual worlds. To Soba’s shock, Gesar pulled a knife

stabbing Wen Shen in the throat hoping her to join him. Dying, Gesar finally

respected Soba of being a worthy opponent asking him to take care of his

children. Shongsen Gesar, one the greatest warrior kings of the mountain

kingdom surrounding Ezarra died along with his wife to join him forever for

eternity.

Howards and Chaos Lionheart continued their battle in an unknown arena in the

depths of Hell. Howards admitted his disappointment of failing to finish Lionheart

due to the unnecessary interruption. Chaos Lionheart told Howards that he

successfully gave Neferea’s blood to the gods of his ancestors ensuring him of his

final victory against him. Howards replied Chaos Lionheart that not even the gods

of his ancestors can save Lionheart from him.

Chaos Lionheart laughed violently surrounded by souls of which were believed to

be his ancestors. He merged with them transformed into a demonic version of his

culminating the darkness of his soul. Howards grinned blitzed his way against the

demonic Lionheart.

Chaos Lionheart anticipated Howards’ one dimensional assault summoned more

powerful versions of his drones to assist him defeat Howards. The drones went on

to fire beams towards Howards. Howards slashed the drones planning to uproot

Page 51: Emperor 1 HL

them all. Chaos Lionheart took advantage of the situation dished out damages to

Howards. Howards in agitation slashed Lionheart multiple times to keep him at

bay.

Howards used his katana swiftly decimated the remaining drones. Chaos

Lionheart called out his drones again to attack Howards. Howards went into

Lionheart slashing him another round releasing huge energies damaging the

demonic Lionheart, destroying all his drones as well. Howards and Chaos

Lionheart clashed their metals against with each other exchanging violent

punishments getting the attention of Claudio Chao.

Howards continued dishing damages to Lionheart after out maneuvering him.

Lionheart made his pay of his further assaults on him. He unleashed his demonic

advantages giving damages to Howards. Claudio Chao assisted Chaos Lionheart

to help him destroy Howards to regain their kingdoms.

Howards shrugged off Claudio Chao and his powerful attacks trying to deport him

back to where he came from. Howards followed another set of attacks to

Lionheart. He even made Lionheart pay on his attempt to counter him. After few

more powerful assaults, Howards slashed Claudio Chao eliminating him forcing

him back to the underworld.

Chaos Lionheart had his moments on inflicting telling damages to Howards. He

continued pressing himself by unleashing demonic energies to get rid of Howards.

Not willing to lose everything he worked so hard throughout the years, Howards

answered Lionheart by dishing out everything the Grandmaster sword can offer.

He even destroyed Lionheart’s lassos via his katana. Lionheart started to bully

him but was stunned after Howards countered him.

Howards went on for the kill ruthlessly slashing Chaos Lionheart multiple times

toppling him with the Grandmaster. Not content of the way Chaos Lionheart was

defeated, thinking of every problem Lionheart gave Howards to endure

throughout the years, Howards with the last of his rage decapitated the Chao

barbarian usurper via his katana killing him once and for all. Howards emptied his

pistol by shooting the dead Chaos Lionheart.

Page 52: Emperor 1 HL

Later, Howards ordered his troops to bring the head of Chaos Lionheart for his

“homecoming” back to Ezarra. He reunited with Soba telling him to destroy the

cursed temple. Howards ordered all his forces to prepare themselves to a long

journey back to Ezarra.

Howards ordered Soba to hurry up and leave with place along with him and his

forces before the temple will be engulfed in an explosion. Shortly, Howards along

with the rest of his forces went further from the temple overlooking its

destruction. They eventually undertook their long journey back to Ezarra.

Howards ordered his men that they will make an extension of Ezarra where the

temple used to stand.

Back in Ezarra, Howards and his men triumphantly entered Ezarra receiving

warm heroes’ welcome celebrating his greatest victory in his long illustrious

career. He reunited with Neferea thanking her that she is the standard of his

ambitions came true. He embraced Gibbeon thanking him of his assistance

promising him better relationship with his nation. He inspired Alvin Bersamina to

work hard, enjoy his job even more for the service of everyone around him. He

shook hands with Ferdinand Quezon telling him that without his support he will

not be able to secure Ezarra’s glorious future. Howards went back to his palace

warmly welcomed by Harumi and his children thanking them for their support.

Howards went back to his allies continuing his celebration of Ezarra’s greatest

victory even discussed his further plans for Ezarra.

Emmanuel Howards, once a humble and lowly immigrant who set foot on an

unknown land with an uncertain future finally united Ezarra becoming its

undisputed leader securing its superpower future turning another page into its

glorious history.

Epilogue:

Under his leadership as the undisputed leader of Ezarra, Emmanuel Howards

extended his control of Ezarra by establishing new cities beyond the Ezarran borders.

He filled up everything where the former Chao leaders left off. He encouraged more

immigrants to come doing their best for the development of the Ezarran economy. He

Page 53: Emperor 1 HL

ordered the building of new infrastructures to improve Ezarra’s competitiveness and

efficiency. Howards continued to work hard to improve Ezarra’s military might to

retain its potential superpower status and to more effectively deal with future

aggressors.

In his nearly twenty year reign, Howards continued building good relationships with

other nations. He consummated his covenant with Queen Neferea and her kingdom

even giving her his daughter, Princess Agotamun as a proof of his unwavering

support to Neferea’s Amenopolian kingdom. He even sent delegates improving

relationships between Ezarra and Shitenia specifically in technology. Despite being a

great leader playing unparalleled role in shaping a great nation, Howards is not

without controversies. Later in his reign he started to become paranoid, ruthless and

cunning. He is said to have orchestrated in the murder of Melchizedek Harrison

because of the latter disagreeing with Howards to encourage more immigrants.

Howards is also accused by critics to play a role in the death of Andsuke Toyama’s

father of being an ultra Shitenian nationalist asking Shitenians to stop sharing their

technologies to Ezarra straining him relationship with Toyama as well.

Inconsistencies also haunted Howards’ administration. He is believed he do not want

to be emperor because he seen himself as merely as leader or he simply doesn’t want

Harumi to be his empress. Later eccentricity caught Howards, his critics believed that

he allegedly played a part on the death of Gibbeon and one of his sons with Neferea.

Howards deliberately ordered his men to let Patricio Luis to escape the battle for

another chance for revenge when Gibbeon is not on his guard. Howards is generally

believed by conspiracy theorists to be Ezarra’s future Emperor with Neferea at his

side as his empress reducing Harumi to merely a martyr wife earning the resentment

and disgust from his children.

Even with the controversies haunting him during the rest of his reign, Howards

managed to defeat every invader that wanted Ezarra as their own. He stopped a

coalition of former Chao leaders’ relatives that conspired against him. In his most

Page 54: Emperor 1 HL

celebrated victory, he defeated the strongest of the Chao leaders, Claudio Chao

stopping his ambitions to regain Ezarra, even ended up fighting him deep in the

underworld under the assistance of Alvin Bersamina and his female companion. He

also succeeded in destroying the last of Chaos Lionheart’s allies. He is also notorious

of forcing the great cosmic god Absolute and his forces into passivity paving the way

of him and Raphael Ezarra to have the control of life and death in Ezarra setting the

events of Rayn Ezarra’s rebellion.

With his critics fearing his absolute power in addition with his further plans to control

other nations particularly Shitenia, in one tragic banquet which is supposed to be

another one of Howards’ victory celebration, after a drink, Howards suddenly felt

dazed. Upon reaching the basement, the assassins repeatedly shot Howards sending

him crumbling in the floor. The assassins were shocked that Howards remained alive.

They proceeded on repeatedly stabbing him eventually setting him fire only to be

attended by his followers later on. The assassins hurriedly escaped from the scene

bragging that they have killed a god. One of the masterminds was revealed to be

Chaos Lionheart who escaped riding an SUV vehicle taking a new identity. However,

Raphael Ezarra taking the appearance of his father to avoid demoralization of Ezarra

rode his way to the battle destroying Chaos Lionheart and his forces. Raphael Ezarra

eventually became the new leader of Ezarra more ruthless and more tyrannical than

his father.

Even his disappearance couldn’t contain Emmanuel Howards himself. Despite the

controversies and the negative things he had done in Ezarra during his reign, people

will always remember Howards as the great leader, the man who started being a

nobody ending up as one of Ezarra’s greatest leaders. To some the way he lived his

life, the way he went to power brought them a sense of a mysterious reverence to an

enigmatic man. Hence, even beyond the end of his reign, the legend of Emmanuel

Howards continues to build itself enduring through the ravages of time merely as a

standard transcending the future generations of leaders to come. Emmanuel Howards

like his life remains a mystery to all. END……
