_Chapter 4_

“We interrupt this program with important breaking news.” These words rang over every radio station, TV station, interrupting everyone from their daily viewings.

Those who were watching the television they were presented with the view of a podium surrounded by microphones from the sponsoring news providers.

From off screen a woman walked out to the platform and stood there looking around at all the reporters and at the camera that was posed strait ahead of her.

“I'm Lady Une, Head of Preventors.” She looked upset in all ways possible, of course that was all part of the act.

“As many of you already know, earlier today there was an attack on the Queen around ten o'clock this morning. A ceremony was held to announce Relena Peacecraft as Queen; at ten thirty-five, only moments after she was named Queen an assassin fired one single shot hitting Relena right above the heart. The assassin was quickly disarmed and killed, however as Preventors we were unsuccessful with preventing her from getting hit.” There was some mumbles that could be heard between the crowd of reporters and some quick flashes of the cameras.

“even with the best medical team available we were unable to fully mend the wound.” She took a deep breath to appear as she was trying to regain her composure. “It is with my deepest sorrow to announce that at noon today Queen Relena died of her wounds.” Now there was a noticeable chatter between the reporters.

“He funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock. It will be broadcasted worldwide and will be made open to the public. It was Relena's wish to share her life and death with her people. She also wished to be cremated and to have her ashes scattered out to the sea, which held significant meaning to her.” She quickly looked down at the podium once more.

“I will now open up the floor to questions and answer to the best of my knowledge thus far…”

“Lady Une, any ideas as to who sent the attacker?” One voice could be heard.

“We don't know much about the assassin, however we are lead to believe that he was working in his own and has some sort of a grudge on the Queen from the past war in…”

With that said the TV turned off and the viewers who were watching sat around in silence for a moment.

“Stage one complete.” Natasha said while standing up and looked over at Marquee who was sitting in silence staring at the once on television.

“So now we will wait until after the funeral before you will make you announcement of taking command.” She looked over at Malcolm quickly then back at Marquee who was looking right at her.

“And once you are named King, there are a few other people standing in our way before you have absolute power.” She walked over to Marquee and placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Who?” Marquee wouldn't see who else could be standing in his way. The image was clear to him, all he had to do was step up to the platform and make everyone remember the greatness of his father.

“No one that concerns you at this moment in time.” Malcolm spoke up.

“How do you expect me to rule if you don't tell me what's going on?” Marquee rose to his feet in a fit of rage.

“Trust us Marquee, its no one you wont approve of in the long run.” Natasha applied more pressure to Marquee's shoulder to try and calm him down.

“When the time comes we will tell you all that you need to know.” The rage was evident in young Marquee's face and Malcolm acknowledged it and tried to maintain the peace in the room.

“Your assassin was a good man.” Natasha changed the subject.

“He was, however his sacrifice was crucial to overall attaining our goal.”

“Sacrifices are vital in war for the better of mankind.” Natasha added to what Malcolm just said.

“Don't try and tell me the basics on war. I already know that bullshit.” Marquee was not impressed. He was supposed to be the leader, and them his followers. Though he looked like a child his mind was very well developed for someone his age.

“I know it seems like you aren't doing much at the moment, but after tomorrow its all you. We wouldn't want to ruin the surprise for everyone now would we?”

-TBC-

Ok so a lil cliff hanger for those of you who are still reading. Action is on the way, with the next two chapters I should say… I guess all the reason for this long slow intro is just that I put a lot of work coming up with the concept for this story and I want to do it right, rather then just jump into all the good shit…

REVIEW PLEASE!!!! Really I would love someone to review! It makes me sad that no one reviews… should I keep posting or not?!

Thanks
