“My Lord, the Battle Nexus Tournament will soon begin.”  Drako began as he approached, despite being in Ue’s quarters he still kept himself covered in his heavy cloak at Ue’s insistence in the event of an unexpected arrival, his past behaviour making such an outcome more likely.  “It would appear the Hamato Splinter has just passed his preliminary battle to enter.”  

“Excellent!  This will present an excellent opportunity to gain everything.”  Ue replied with no small measure of dark pleasure.  “Your Assassins are ready to strike at the proper moment?”  

“Of course.”  Drako answered him.  “Once the proper timing arrives they will strike down the Daimyo, at which point the Rat will no doubt attempt to intervene which will be the time for them to leave and for you to enter.  Even with your name ‘sullied‘, the guards will no doubt believe that Hamato Splinter was the one to attack him.”  

“At which point he will be the one to rot in the dungeons as I rise to become the Daimyo.”  Ue finished.  “All that remains is to make sure that he tries to see him.”  

“I do not believe that that will be a difficult task.  You have mentioned that they are close friends, therefore it is not unreasonable to conclude that they will try to meet, and he should have easy access to this temple as a result of that.”  

“And if not?”  Ue queried, noting the obvious flaw.  

“Then such a meeting can be ‘arranged’.”  Drako supplied.  “Rest assured, he will be the one who’s blamed for the upcoming events.”  

“Good.”  The answer sated Ue’s concerns.  “Now, my father insists that I be in attendance when he greets the tournament participants.  Tend to the preparations in the meantime.”  Without another word, he left to join his father.  

Drako waited a minute longer before he too, left to meet with his Dark Assassins, there was a lot to be made ready and not a lot of time to do it in.  As he walked through the corridors however, there was someone waiting for him.  

“A moment please.”  He asked of him.  

“Councillor Yamada.”  Drako acknowledged the only human member of the Council that aided the Daimyo in the running of the Battle Nexus Realm, though he checked around to see if there was anyone else in the area.  

“We are alone for now, there is no need to be concerned with that.”  Councillor Yamada assured the cloaked dragon.  

“Then.  What is it you wish to speak to me about?”  

“To inform you that I have secured the required support.  Should everything you’ve planned succeed, you will have the support required for your installation as Daimyo.”  

“Good.  Very good.”  Drako remarked, though his face was hidden, the dark joy could be heard in his voice.  

“It wasn’t too difficult.”  Councillor Yamada admitted.  “Many, myself included have been quite..unhappy…with the Daimyo’s Rule.  Not least with what he did with the Tournaments.”  

“I understand.  Rest assured that the old ways will return when I am Daimyo.”  Drako assured him.  “And those who resist, will, of course, be dealt with appropriately.”  

“Of course.”  Yamada bowed respectfully before taking his leave.  

Minutes after Drako returned to his own quarters, a group of his Dark Assassins emerged to bow before him.  

“My Lord.”  The lead assassin spoke.  “We’re ready to strike at your command.”  

“Very well then.  This, is what you are to do.”  Drako acknowledged and commanded

Whew!  This one took me a while to get done.  Some background on how Drako gets support and the beginnings of his schemes.
