Introduction
The islands in the south of Japan are centuries further in technology than the north. They form the Technological state which includes the Miyako islands and Okinawa. Most things there run on steam. Some people are steamborgs and steambots. Now a group of rogues has escaped so they can conquer Japan and rise an army of machines and steamborgs against the Technological state. Due to the people in Japan knowing little about technology, they call steamborgs and steambots demons, especially if they are ninja. The Technological state has sent out a group of special ninjas of which most of them are technologically enhanced, called the extermination squad. They have to seek out and destroy the rogues (over 50 in total).
Steamborgs: Steamborgs only have single mechanical limbs but are mostly human.
Steambots: Steambots are humans who have been almost completely mechanically reconstructed. Simpler steambots only have a small internal weapon or not even an internal weapons while more complication steambots can have and arsenal of internal weapons or be mobile artillery.
Rules: No godmodding
You can play samurai if you want.
No overly modern clothing such as jeans. You can have unique or traditional clothing.

"Kou... Anything new?" Her brother stood up and saluted her and she glared at him "I told you NOT to do that, you know i hate it when you do that, were related."
Kou smirked and sat back down by a vent, listening carefully "They've got nothing on the rogues but they're talking about the extermination squad" He then looked serious.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to... Atleast they didn't catch me, ok?" Tenshi sat on the bed and looked away
"Tenshi, you know that if ANYBODY knows that your part of the extermination squad, father will blow a fuse! He'll order total lock down on you and you can kiss goodbye your freedom till your married!" Kou stood up and handed her a mask. "Heres a new mask, since you lost your old one. Its specificly designed not to fall off when your killing rogues." The pattern on the mask had a red handprint and a blue spiral.
"Oh come on, i liked the white one better." She pouted as she took the mask.
"Oh, yeah, nothing like possibly letting someone find out your identity with one slice of the mask. Just remember to have it on when your on duty." Kou sighed and closed the vent "Im sorry Tenshi but if somebody finds out that a member of the royal family is part of the extermination squad, were in trouble..."
Tenshi stood up and walked to the door "If i wasn't on the extermination squad then you'd probably be dead by now." She then walked out.

Yuka left to go to the Kayne residence. She got there but a soldier got in her way. "What is your duty here, girl?" The soldier said. Then Yuka replied: "Mind your own business. I am here to see Tenshi. My name is Yuka Fuutsureiku." "Ha! You are Yuka? That cant be. Yuka is supposed to be tall and powerful. Yet you are small and look weak." The soldier said. Yuka grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off the ground: "I am not so weak now. Why dont I rip your head off on the spot?" She then dropped the scared man and walked past him. Yuka walked down a hallway and saw Tenshi leave a room. "Tenshi!" Yuka called.

"Yuka? Yuka!" She then ran towards her "I havent seen you in ages... And no blood stains, im guessing you either haven't killed anyone recently or that you've discovered the secret to get blood stains out of your clothes" She smiled and motioned with her hand for Yuka to follow her. She then went into another room with decorations and paintings with a table, cups and two cushions by the table. She then knelt on the nearest cushion and poured tea into her cup.
"So, what brings you here? Tell me before somebody checks up on me otherwise i'll be here all day."

"Why do the rogues even bother? Most of them know their skills are limited and bearly even match ours... Plus, why the heads? Last time we had that sort of mission i swear the eyes of the head i was carrying was staring at me the whole time." She unwrapped the hilt of her Katana and unseathed it.
"So when are we going?" She looked around the courtyard below her window, her brother was practising with other soldiers and the soldier Yuka had scared had run into the courtyard and was panicing and then pointed at the window she was in.
"Right... Something tells me we're either got to go now, or next week..." She then seathed her Katana and quickly ran out the room, but then popped her head back in while putting her mask on.
"Are you coming or not?"

"Remind me how you got an estate and three villages to look after?" She finished putting her mask on and kept her hand on the hilt of her Katana, only the few selected soldiers knew about Tenshi in the extermination squad, those were her bodyguards and her brother. When they turned the corner Tenshi's brother was standing there, Kou.
"Ahh, and where are you going with my little sister now Yuka? I thought you wouldn't of been here till tommorow, you have the whole residence in panic." He then bowed down and poked his sister in the forehead.
Tenshi sighed and slapped Kou's hand away "Its an emergency Kou. Tell father its a minor mission to calm him down." She then tried to pass him but was soon stopped.
"Do you really think he's gonna buy that? He knows only one person can get to you and get you out in a matter of minutes when its an emergency, and thats Yuka, he's seen her skills and I highly doubt your gonna get away with the whole army in a frenzy" He then stopped and looked down the hallway and saw two shadows getting bigger and bigger.
"Ok, just distract him while i get out ok?" Tenshi glared at him through her mask and he sighed, opening a door and pushing her through it but holding onto Yuka.
"Make sure she doesnt get hurt, got it? Im going to be the one in trouble after they find out about the mission but if they find out shes been severly hurt then im in deep trouble and your going to go down with me if that happens, ok?" He then pushed her into the room and quickly shut the door behind her.
Tenshi sighed and looked around the room, searching for something "I had to be the youngest in the family didn't I?" She then lifted up the carpet and found a trap door and opened it.

"Dont be surprised if you see something you dont expect to see everday down here, this place was built ages ago..." She then took off her mask and tied it around her waist.
"Thats better... But why whould you let me learn the technique? I haven't known you for more than two years and bearly anyone in the extermination squad trusts anybody else..." She ducked under an unstable support and carried on walking.

"I highly doubt my family will stop being overprotective, they've always been protective over me since i was born, even more so since i was in that train accident..." She then looked at her right leg. "But while you might be happy about being a steambot im not happy about being a steamborg. Being a steamborg has its disadvantages... I cant feel the ground beneath me in my right foot, it still feels like my legs not there..." She stopped and unwrapped her leg and it then gave out lots of steam before stopping and giving out small amounts of steam again "Plus, if anybody outside the royal family find out im a steamborg... They'll think were demons..." She sighed and carried on walking, the faint gears in her leg making a sound only she could hear, she then turned to Yuka "But why do you have nightmares about your true body? How can you?"

"Were you built to be a weapon?" She grabbed her mask and untied it before putting it onto her face. "Because if your nightmares show you that then something must be up..." She tied a final knot in her mask and continued on walking to the exit where it led to a garden and a large river with a small boat in it. "Well, somebody must of been expecting this..."

"Yuka, if there are rogues in Honshu then they're probably patrolling the waters around it. How are we going to pass them without alerting them of our precense? If they're recuiting steamborgs and steambots they'll probably sniff us out in no time!" She walked to the boat and then suddenly stopped, hand on the hilt of her Katana as she hears something in the tunnels. After a few seconds she drew her Katana and spun round only to find her Katana at Kou's throat and him smiling. "What are you doing here? I thought you were distracting the guards!"
"Well... Can't a brother see off his sister before she goes off to who knows where?" He laughed and Tenshi frowned at him while putting away her Katana.
"Yeah but next time say something before you creep up on me, it could of been your head rolling along the floor like the soldier just before new years eve..." Kou rolled his eyes.
"But you know that will never happen, im your brother!" He then shooed her into the boat.

"Don't worry, i wont be spying on you, i'll just follow and watch you from a distance" He then looked up at the residence and sighed "They'll be looking for both of you even though i tried to throw them off your trail... Try to keep a low profile until you get past the boundries."
Tenshi nodded and got into the boat "And once i've gone past the boundries?"
Kou smiled "Father wouldn't think that your on a extermination mission and think that your on a exploration one." Tenshi sighed and got one of the oars.
"I'll see you soon, Kou" She started paddling and then looked at Yuka "You wouldn't really slash him to bits.... Right?"

"Im a daughter of a rich family and even i havent got a boat for myself..." She then looked back at Yuka "Right... Now that answers my question of being safe..." She then swallowed and stood still, fearing something. "Would... Would it ever sink?..." She then closed her eyes, her memory going back to her mothers death, she had been in a boat but it had been sunk and her body had never been found... Despite her fathers 'efforts'... She then shook her head and looked back at the boat.
