Emperor Aaron was born in the year 3 BR on the planet of Ryu 97. He was next in line to be Emperor of Ryu 97, and grew up in a luxurious and pampered life in the royal family in the Imperial Palace. However, due to the politics of the planet, Emperors had no real power, with all the power being in the hands of the Choguns. At age 19, Aaron's father, Roshihito, died of a stroke. Aaron was put on the throne. He wished to rule his planet well, but it was Chogun Teriyaki who did the real ruling. Around ten years into his "rule", Tate and his army performed a complete occupation of all former Aurean territories after causing the collapse of the Aurean Government, with Ryu 97 included in the list of planets that would be occupied. After a couple of years, Chogun Teriyaki had developed pro-Tate sympathies while Aaron and the general public vehemently opposed the occupation. A golden opportunity arose when Ryan, one of Weasel's friends and a Samoorai from Ryu 97, landed on the planet and asked it to join the Aurean Alliance, his rebellion against Tate. Chogun Teriyaki refused to cooperate, but Aaron defiantly signed the Alliance Charter, joining the organization. This would drive a wedge in the relationship between Aaron and Teriyaki for years, as the two became increasingly antagonistic towards each other and Chogun Teriyaki began to strip Aaron of what powers he did have. Much later on, long after the restoration of the Aurean Government, Tate started to gradually begin losing the war. In a final gambit of desperation, Tate decided to invade Ryu 97 to open up a northern front against the Aureans and slow their progress in the west. Once Aurean intelligence got wind of this plan, Weasel's friends all travelled to Ryu 97 to help secure the planet. (Meanwhile, Weasel was off on Eaglypt searching for the Eye of Horus.) When Weasel's friends arrived on the planet, the first thing they did was go to the Imperial Palace to find and talk to Aaron, but they found Chogun Teriyaki instead. Teriyaki gave them some veiled threats and cryptic warnings before accidentally implying that he was the true leader of Ryu 97 while Aaron was just a figurehead. Weasel's friends then came to the conclusion that if they earned the trust of the Bimil Gyeongchal, the Chogun's secret police, then the Chogun would have no choice than to let them speak with Aaron. Weasel's friends decided to do this by traveling around the planet to take care of the ninja problem that the planet had been having lately. During their travels, however, they discovered that the ninjas were conspiring with the Oni Demons, creatures from the Spirit Realm that control the planet by imposing a cruel class system on it. When they report this to the Bimil Gyeongchal, however, they are arrested and detained in a dungeon. In their dungeon, they overhear Chogun Teriyaki involved in a conversation with the Bimil Gyeongchal, some ninjas, some Oni demons, and Tate himself. Weasel's friends are soon busted out of their dungeon by a group of Panda Warriors they saved from the Jade Oni during their travels. They then sneak into the Imperial Palace and warn Emperor Aaron about Chogun Teriyaki's betrayal. Aaron refuses to believe them until Chogun Teriyaki, some Ninjas, and some Oni demons enter the palace and attempt a coup d'etat. Weasel's friends manage to defeat the invaders in battle and force them to retreat, after which Aaron formally banishes Teriyaki from the planet. Since they overheard back in the dungeon that Tate was readying an invasion force, Weasel's friends warned Aaron about this. Aaron told them to go around the planet and amass a massive army to defend the planet and close the Spirit Realm portals the ninjas created during their planetwide rampage. Weasel's friends manage to raise a massive army of samoorai, ashigaru, cavalry, elephant riders, and Shaolin Monkeys; and close every Spirit Realm portal except for one in the middle of the ocean. Since they knew they could not close this portal and that the Tatians would not hesitate to invade by sea, Emperor Aaron instructed them to take up defensive positions on Hakata Beach and Shiki Island. Weasel's friend Maxwell was voted as head general of the operation. Soon after, a gigantic armada of Tatian ships comes out of the Spirit World, as well as the Oni Demons. Tate's force first landed on Tsunami Island, where a cavalry force had been stationed to delay them. As predicted, the cavalry force was annihilated and the island was under Tatian control. Next, the Tatians invaded Shiki Island, where they easily defeated a larger cavalry force headed by General Tso. The next evening, the Tatians made landfall on the mainland, attacking Hakata Beach. However, Tate, knowing that reinforcements would arrive and could overwhelm him, made the fateful decision to re-embark his men onto the ships for the night so his forces can't be marooned on Ryuan soil. By the next morning, there were only a few ships left on the shore as a powerful typhoon struck and those ships that were not on the coast were all destroyed. Tate himself managed to survive and protect the would-be-drowned troops with Shadow Magic, and they attacked the next day. The Ryuans were taken completely by surprise and they began to recede fast. The Tatians eventually got past the beach fortifications and began attacking the village of Ryukyu, a suburb of the capital. After suffering initial heavy losses, Maxwell rallied his troops and told them the first thing they needed to do was panic the Onis. Once the Ryuans succeeded in panicking the Onis and driving them from the field, the Onis accidentally trampled some Tatian troops during the escape, killing many. With the Onis gone, Tate decided to retreat to his camp for the night. The next morning, reinforcements from inland began arriving. Maxwell ingeniously instructed them to arrive in many small waves to make it seem to the enemy like there were more reinforcements than there really were, lowering their morale. Taking advantage of the lack of Onis, Maxwell ordered a general attack on the Tatian lines. However, this was repulsed and the Ryuans were dealt plenty of casualties. Maxwell then decided to use a new strategy and disguised his horses and kirins as strange monsters. This freaked out the Tatians' horses, causing them to attempt to flee. This cavalry disorganization exposed the Tatians' left-center infantry, which immediately came under heavy attack by the Ryuans. However, a breakthrough could not be made and both sides returned to their camps for the night. The next day, Maxwell ordered a surprise attack by his left center on the Tatians' right center, followed by a general attack of the Ryuan Army. The Tatians' left wing and left center were pushed back, allowing the Ryuans to break through the Tatians' center and send them fleeing to their boats. Maxwell then made a bold move: send the Ryuans through the Spirit World Portal and defeat the Tatians on their own turf. A few days later, the Ryuans had completely embarked and were following the Tatians through the Spirit World portal. Once they arrived, both sides set up camp, lined up their troops, and prepared for battle. The Tatians had their entire expeditionary force here, as well as over a hundred more Oni Demons. The Ryuans had their full army there, including crouching tiger cannons. The first move made was by Maxwell, who ordered the cannons to fire, killing over a third of the Oni Demons. While the cannons were being reloaded, the Tatians charged, with the Onis at the front of their lines. Keeping calm and level-headed after having prior experience repulsing Onis, the Ryuans intentionally made gaps in their lines that allowed the Onis to get through. They then started attacking them with naginata, either driving from the field or killing them all. By this time, the crouching tiger cannons were reloaded and were firing on the Tatians that were trying to charge them, sending them crashing back into their own lines. Taking advantage of this chaos, Maxwell sent all his cavalry to attack the front lines, disguised as monsters to keep the Tatian horses at bay. However, the Tatians held their ground and the Ryuans were repulsed. Unable to achieve the quick victory that they each wanted, both sides retired to their camps. The next morning, the Tatian front lines were greeted by another volley of cannonfire, as well as volleys of tanegashima shots. Since the Tatians no longer had any Onis to lose, Tate ordered a general attack on the Aureans when the cannons were reloading. Though slowed down by tanegashima fire, the Tatians got to the cannons fast enough to disable or destroy all of them. The Tatians then caught the Ryuans off-guard by sending in their cavalry, who the Ryuans thought they drove from the field the day before. Maxwell ordered his gunmen to redirect their fire from the Tatian infantry to the cavalry. While the cavalry were getting pounded by volley after volley of tanegashima fire, Tate's infantry was already halfway through the Ryuan right center when Maxwell had to personally intervene and lead a contingent of 50 men to attack from the rear and dislodge them. One of his friends and best generals was killed during this action. Once the Tatian cavalry was finally driven from the field (for good this time), the gunmen redirected their fire at the Tatian infantry, pushing them back to their own lines. The next morning, Tate brought the last 3 Oni Demons into battle. Maxwell, not wanting to kill his own family, ordered his army to harass the demons until they are unconscious, but not to kill them. However, those Oni Demons were only a distraction, as Tate tried to flank the Ryuans again with his infantry. In response, Maxwell sent his cavalry to dislodge them, which he succeeded in doing. As the sun was setting, both sides returned to their camps for the night. The next morning, Maxwell was sick of the stalemate and decided to try something new. He thinned out his lines, baiting the Tatians into a general attack. They fell for this, thinking they could break the Ryuans' thin lines. However, they bent rather than broke, surrounding them on all sides but the rear in a sort of bow. Seizing his chance, Maxwell ordered his cavalry to attack the Tatians' rear, trapping them and packing them so close together they could no longer use their weapons effectively. After an immense slaughter, the Jade Oni surrendered and Tate left the planet with his surviving troops. The terms of the peace deal between the Ryuans and the Onis were that the Onis were to stop forcing the class system on Ryu 97. They would also abolish the office of Chogun which the Onis used to indirectly control the planet. After these events, Weasel's friends left the planet and Emperor Aaron would spend the rest of his life overseeing Ryu 97's rapid industrialization.
