*Cosmos needed his youth apples*

"Oh yeah, didn't Cosmos have some kind of silver apples or something?"

"Silver branches, golden apples. Why, Yig?"

"He almost looks like he could use a few."

Chaugnar Faugn projected thoughts towards Universe.

"Hey, Universe, if you can hear me... looks like your old man could use some apples. Know of any silver trees on your planet? That'd have the gold fruit in question. Can you go fetch some?"

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Probably not too many. You got something your planning?

"I don't know if I could just get away with him playing his fiddle on one of these planets-"

Yatsufusa: "Fiddle?"

"He can control fire by playing on his fiddle. Including summoning fiery demons."

"'The Devil Went Down to Georgia'. That's the name I gave Johnny's Stand."

"You know, I thought you were joking-kidding when you told-informed us about a music duel-battle."

"Not at all."

"Anyways, Ahrakas, I've got a few aces when it comes to Stand users... I'm not going to have groups of them team together this time like the incident with Johnny, we discussed that that was a bad decision on Aifric's part. They're better off used as individual units with backup."

"So about Johnny-"

"If we come across a spot where we can smuggle Johnny in and his flames can do some serious damage, I'll deploy him. Ahrakas, he'll listen to your command, he may very well revere you more than me."

Vertigo: "Want to tell us about the other aces?"

"Most of the Stand users I've known for a long time are sadly best used as support or infiltration units. I actually have a few objects that have Stands in them, I may find worthy users later.... a recently-emerged Stand named City of the Dead makes me a bit squeamish because corpses simply spring back to life under his presence and his user's having difficulty getting his Stand to stop doing it..."

"I thought the magic awakening would have led to full power control-"

"Stands sometimes have their own personalities.... and I suspect City of the Dead just wants friends...."

*I teleported to Planet Solaris and grabbed 10 of them then Teleported back* “here I grabbed ten just in case”

Honestly City of the Dead would be useful for a battlefield and causing psychological damage to our enemies.
There are also reports the Shogun have benders as well.

"Tell Rizwan to recall that tungsten elemental of his when the earth guys show up, got it."

Yatsufusa: "Do you even know what bending is?"

"Yeah, it's full mastery of the element in all its forms, right? So an earthbender could manipulate raw elements in said earth, I would assume that includes metal too."

Yatsufusa: "It's a bit more complex than that..."

"The way my people handle magic in the first place, I'm not sure you could make this bending thing more complex than what we do... you know what, Ahrakas, tell me - am I off point here?"

That would be right, the most common elements are water, fire, earth, and air. Though more skilled benders posses abilities to control things like lightning, metal, and even blood.

"Looks like Tyrim may wind up in a situation where he has to fight on the front line."

"How does the new guy already have a personal robot and all of this-"

"Xochimilco, Dural's people didn't throw everything out about his predecessor. Mitzie's bioweapon was given a chance and decided to befriend them and give them a chance to use the technology. How is the guy, anyway? We didn't hear too much last-"

Firuthi suddenly appeared.

"Hortense, I understand you want people to know the whole story, but please stop referring to me as 'Mitzie's bioweapon'. It brings up bad memories of the original mission he gave me. And besides, I got taken up by another family."

"Okay, okay, I'll back off."

"By the way, whoever said Tyrim was Dural's personal robot? It's not quite like that. Tyrim mainly works directly for the Architects now, Dural is just a friend of his."

"Any ideas to deal with a bloodbender, Firuthi?"

"How many beings could they bloodbend at once? I do have an idea if that scenario ever happens."

Vertigo: "And are there any other... likely superweapons besides Force, Stands, and bending? Think they got something major like an Akira Project, or something along the lines of a Ralph or a Lizzie?"

Yatsufusa: "Ralph or-"

"Yatsufusa, she's talking about giant monsters a la Godzilla. Not fully sure what she means by an Akira Project."

I wouldnt put it past them to do an Akira project. We dont have any intel that would indicate they are making giant monsters.
The thing we will have to worry the most about are their elite soldiers and nobles, due to their marriage philosophy we will probably encounter individuals who posses a combination of force, stand, and bending abilities, possibly all three at once.

There are also a few rumors of an Avatar.

"That could mean a lot of things."

"He probably means someone who can control all the elements at once."

"Or it could be the presence of an actual god that's meant for the Architects to fight. Ever heard of Nodens?"

"Now THAT'S a name for the ages. Sorry Hortense, I know what people say of Nodens, but he's actually a forgotten lackey of Cthugha's. He hangs around on Pnidleethon these days."

".....what DO people say of Nodens?"

"That he's a hunter of our servants. He had a hand in the testing of some of our older creations, and the celestial dragons sometimes recruit him when they need someone outside their own expertises. He would not join this fight though."

"Then let's back up. Ahrakas, what DO you mean by an Avatar?"

The Shogun have legends from their destroyed homeworld of a being who can channel all four elements called the Avatar who communes with the spirits and the spirit world. It is said that in their times of greatest need the Avatar will come to save them. Legends also state that the founder of what would become the Shogun Empire was the Avatar.

"Universe, you're not getting the implications of this. Depending on how much I can learn about these stories and the history of the Shogun Empire... I could very easily cause a rebellion and upend this empire."

Firuthi took a deep breath.

"Tell us more, Ahrakas, if you've got any more to say."

The last time a confirmed Avatar appeared was during the founding of the 6th Empire in what is referred to as the Avian dynasty. The Avatar had been reincarnated into the form of an anthro eagle and restored peace among the warring clans. It is said he ruled for many years before peacefully passing away and leaving the throne to his daughter who was overthrown a few years later.

Also if things begin going south we may need you to provide some of your firepower to turn the tide back in our favor.

"Hmmmm.... I'm not going to attempt that deployment just yet. It's not enough to really make something convincing. I may have to settle for taking on the real deal if they show up."

"I am also going to stay back for now. I'm willing to bet the Shinzoku Empire will try something underhanded."

"So do we have any other concerns, or shall we all begin our preparations for this battle?"
