Thus, PRISM fought there. (A sci-fi OC X GATE fanfic) [rewritten]

2: The Carnage and 2nd Phase

the Imperial Senate, 3rd POV:

The imperial senate, a roman style gathering of senators and high ranking officials is happening. Everyone representing the empire is debating on the gate situation. A man named Marquis Casel is standing in the center petitioning to the Emperor, Molt Sol Augustus.

Molt Sol Augustus:

Marquis Casel:

Marquis: It was an embarrassment, my lord. We lost 60% of the Empire's might. How do we act upon this situation!?

The senators clamored with uncertainty,

Marquis: How will you lead the state!?

Molt: Marquis, think about how people will feel. *puts hands over eyes* I am aware that our recent losses have cost us our military advantage. They worry that vassals of our state could rebel against the empire and attack the imperial capital itself. *removes hand from eyes and smiles* Isn't that idiotic?

Marquis: Huh?

Molt: Every time the empire is in danger, the Emperor, The people, The senate and The military unite, thus making the Empire stronger. Marquis, you cannot win every battle in a war. I will not hold anyone accountable for the recent losses. To think that another nation dares to surround the imperial capital, I trust that none of you will waste time in court.

The senators smiled and discussed in agreement,

Marquis: To pass overall responsibility...

An old man, named Godasen, came forth to the center with a walking stick and bandages on his head.

Godasen: But what are we going to do, your highness, the army we sent was defeated in 2 days. Now the gate is captured and the enemy is attempting to build the base on the hill. Of course, we tried to retake the hill, but the enemies from a distance...

*flashback*

A fireteam of soldiers firing their weapons.

*flashback ends*

Godasen: I've never seen such sorcery! And don't get me started with the massive steel behemoths that were with them!

*flashback*
