The Portrait of A Tyrant

[Josef Stalin]

Stalin nearly had a heart attack, not literally of course, when Tsukabi appeared from nowhere. Stalin was from a much simpler time, after all. One without teleportation.

"I'm sorry... you are?"

[Lady Violet]

"Tsubaki, so good to see you. You should take Stalin out to a movie. I am sure he would be delighted to spend the evening with you, relaxing and getting to know some of the party members more intimately." I say. I am glad she showed up.

[Tsubaki]

"Good day Violet." i said nodding to her suggestions. i turn to Stalin. "I am Tsubaki, VIolet ordered me to take care of your needs and protecdt you this day." I said. "Do you need anything?" i asked. My snake hissed at him. *Oh, god how can I degrade myself this low. I feel like a pathetic servent.* I thought.

[Set]

((To Valkoinen))

I apologize, my lady, I have had a difficult time tracking down his location. I will bring him in before the evening is over. I say to Violet, telepathically. Stalin now working for Red Infinity has made everybody pick up the pace. I don't like hunting fellow Red Infinity operatives, it makes us weak and divided, but nonetheless, orders are orders. I appear behind Valkoinen.

"Good evening Valkoinen. I regret to inform you, that your performance within Red Infinity has been found less than satisfactory, and I have been sent to bring you in."

[Anna Khodorkovsky]

"This is Anna Khordorkovsky. I am in France near the Palace of Versailles. The french nationatiolists were attacked!"

[Josef Stalin]

Stalin looked at the two girls. His dictator's intuition told him that something was up. You know what a dictator's intuition is; the thing that tells Castro when and how the US is going to try and assassinate him.

"No, I'm fine." Stalin said to Tsubaki. "Actually, Violet, I was hoping to ask you some questions."

[Paris]

I get a phone call from my sis. I stop dancing. "Oh god." I said. Dinri's cell phone went off too. "I guess I have to come to her aid." I said yawning. *Maybe she has another guy for me to steal* I thought. I exited the palace and party and went into my helicopter with Dinri and we flew to France. After we got thier we used a teleportation booth to take us to my sisters location. I appear before them ."Hey baby sister!" I said hugging her.

[Lady Blue]

I have heard of this Anna. She is not as frivolus as that Paris, and therefore useful. "I will send help at once. I will send a friend of mine to collect you, I have been meaning to meet with you anyways." I hang up and turn to Anima. "Anima, two potential allies have been attacked in Versilles. Go and rescue them."

[Tsubaki]

I secretly roleld my eyes but stood properly observing him. *I bet he likes Violet. After all thier both on a great political level.* I thought.

[Lady Violet]

"Questions, oh well ask away. I love to be asked questions!" I say as cheerfully as I can.

I turn to Tsubaki.
"Perhaps you can take Stalin to the movies after he is done questioning me. I think it would be an enchanting time for the both of you. Until then, you may stay here with me, in case we need you."

[Anima]

"Of course," I say as I gate to the location.

"Ms. Anna! What is wrong?"

[Poison Ivy]

I saw Purge appear. I look at him. *Anjother nihilist huh?* I thought. "And who are you?" I ask him.

[Anna Khodorkovsky]

I push Paris away and turn to Anima.

"Red Infinity attacked the French nationalists! It is aweful. You must help my dear Phillipe!"

[Tsubaki]

"Yes, madam." I said as I stood in silence. My snake gazed at the scene with delight longing to bite someone. "Shhh." I whispered and he calmed down.

[Anima]

"I shall do as you ask," I say as I fly towards the palace.
