last time on the conquests of Justinian II
A demon-possesd hitler took over Byzantium and defeated Justinian's "personal servant"
of course, he then gave out free hugs, kittens, and death certificates!
=======================================================
Author's note: after some careful experimentation, writers block, and a few Beatles songs later, I've decided to make the style of eh story similar t From Tsars to Stars. So i might begin adding some history book format to the overall narrative
=======================================================
Constantinazi, 1070 A.D.
Hitler is sitting in a very comfy chair sorting out paint swatches to try to find a lovely shade of lavender to repaint his palace with. Maka is sitting in a nearby chair sipping tea, every once in a while pausing to scratch at the ankle bracelet Hitler made her wear, because most people don't like it when their slaves get away. "Aha!," the dictator exclaimed, "A dark lavender with touches of light gold should do it." His jubilation was cut short by Justinian, Lenin, Trotsky, Siddhartha, and Luna jumping through the window in ninja costumes, tying him up, taking him to the newly built oracle, and exorcizing him with pony magic. Hitler's Reich had lasted approximately 5 minutes and 4 seconds.
"Now that that's over with," Justinian bellowed, it's time to proclaim my self great dictator!"
Lenin and Trotsky looked in disbelief at him.
"You mean to tell us we paid for 5 minute ninja school just to have you make yourself the new dictator!"
"Hey now, you're both communists, i don't really think you have much of an argument here"
-------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in Tripoli
Kinkaz looked at down at the conquered arabs from the local palace.
"So much for their Great jihad" he chuckled.
Mr.Random and Constantinople came out from behind him
"Send word to Justinian of our victory"
"Can i throw a party?"
"Sure. why not"
"Can it be the city named after me?"
"Yes, know go to the emperor!"
Further down south, Gandalf Gaddafi and Baseballpie secure Aksum
"By yoshieggs ghost!" GG said loudly "That stele just became a monument!"
"Well yeah, otherwise the game wouldn't be balanced"
"What game?"
"..."
The Imperial Palace, 1130 AD
"May peace and prosperity go with you, I am Asoka of India"
"Well met Asoka, i hope that we shall live at peace."
"Daddy!", exclaimed Siddhartha, who had just walked in the room.
Asoka ran out of the palace as fast as he could, screaming after him something about war on the horizon and Putin riding bears into Ukraine. Siddhartha chased him all the way to ghazni, where he decided to rape and pillage
As Kinkaz and his Cataphracts rode farther, they eventually fell upon the guarded gates of Tunis, the last Arab stronghold in North Africa. He began the battle by launching a forward attack on the Arab long bow line. After taking some pummeling, the force pushes back as the other parts of the division flank them from the sides, going up and behind the long bowmen where they are weak. The result, Byzantine Victory.
As the XII century came to a close, Mongol Diplomats from the court at Karakorum met with the Byzantines. Peace was established and Friendship was made.
=======================================
Welp, that's all for this update.
Also, due to my realization that some of the people in the story (such as kinkaz) haven't been on S&T for a while, so im resetting part of the character roster. Please sate your name and position if you want to still be in the story.
