"Heh, gotcha. While I did call for help, I specifically called for HELP, my combat android. I doubt even you can beat her without your good blade arm." Yuri returned into his combat stance, and turned his attention towards the other combatants, and continued on. "Do you know my favorite thing about HELP is? She can shoot lazer beams from her eyes". And with that, HELP fired the beam straight through the emperor's helmet. Yuri descended into the fray once more, and the tide is slowly turning to Yuri's favor, as some of the Lugovalian fighters lost their will to fight when they saw their new emperor's dead body. Soon, yuri contacted his team "Torlo, Semias, finish off those who are still fighting, but capture the ones who no longer wish to-"
"CAPTAIN, LOOK-"
Yuri dodged out of the way and turned. A Plasmic Blade was thrust in Yuri's previous location, but was stopped before it reached it's destination as it became lodged in HELP's mechanical body. Then Yuri saw who was holding the blade and stared in disbelief. "YOU? Impossible, how?"
"As if common rabble can kill me, captain.". It was the emperor. Except... the voice sounded like a woman's once again, and Yuri saw a glimpse of silver hair through the helmet, as well as a woman's face. Either that, or a very effeminate man. Strangest of all, the arm that was chopped off is there once again. Oddly delicate hands, for a swordmaster. "Lugovalos will last for all eternity under my command, but first, I'll to make an example of you... and now you don't have this android to help you". With that, the emperor pulled his sword off of HELP's malfunctioning body. Or at least, tried to. The sword seems to be stuck. Odd, considering his strength when Yuri fought him. Regardless, Yuri took the opportunity to attack.
"HIAH!" Unfortunately, the emperor managed to get his sword out at the nick of time, parrying his thrust, and Yuri continued his duel. Oddly enough, the fight is in his favor this time around. No longer does the emperor have the grace of movements he had in the last fight, now he moves sluggishly, as if he's unbalanced or unused to the weapon he's using. Still, all of Yuri's attacks are getting blocked, as if the opponent knew where Yuri's attack would come from. It was only a matter of time, however, before...
"HAH!", with a loud cry, Yuri's attack caused the emperor's blade to fly out of his grip, and scant moments later, dealt a deep slash across the emperor, slicing him in two. "I'd like to see you survive THAT!". After looking back at the body to make sure, Yuri scanned the area. Even though the emperor's revival bolstered the spirit of the Lugovalians, only a few are left standing. The fight is over, Yuri has won. Yuri contacted his flagship, "Tatiana, how's the situation out there?"
"It's going great, actually. I don't know what you did in there, but they stopped fighting strategically, and we've destroyed half their ships! Some of the remaining ones have even stopped fighting and sent out SOS signals. How's it going on the enemy's flagship?"
"It went well, we suffered minimal losses, and we even killed the head guy. There's one last threat to-" As Yuri looked back towards the body, he froze. The emperor was standing again, and it looks as if electricity is sparking all over his body. Wait, his body? No, the face behind the helm is unmistakably a girl's, one with brown hair, and the body's size is a lot smaller than before.
"I had hoped to capture you after getting rid of your limbs, for your grave sin against me...", the emperor crouched, and picked up a shard metal, loose from HELP's body. "... but now, I'm just going to kill you." The emperor threw the shard into the air, and...
