First Appearance

Ai Yuroti is the youngest of the Four Yuroti sisters, and the "crazy cat lady" who is responsible for making her opponents saltier than the Dead Sea. If you need special forces support, look no further than her.

"When it absolutely, positively must be destroyed, neutralized, captured, or what not... you don't just send in Kappa Force. You send me there to lead them."

HISTORY

Fighting for Nekonia and Revenge

Ai as the youngest of the Yuroti sisters, would shape Nekonia forever. She would also become the second famous of the four right behind her oldest sister Midori. While her sisters were more political savvy, she had a knack of being a problem solver. Able to use force, stealth, and guile to achieve her missions, she understood the truth of the world quickly upon watching her parents’ execution on live viewers showing the event. She wanted revenge for this, and a straight up fight would not achieve this.

She joined the Nekonian military with her sisters, and went the Spec Ops route, giving her even more training in force, stealth, guile, and combined it with tactics and strategy. How ironic of them to teach her how to avoid their capture when she went to get her revenge… including regicide. She understood though that she had to play the game properly to achieve her ends and assist Midori in restoring the Yuroti.

She had a list of everyone responsible for the capture and murder of her parents, from civilians to military to ranking government officials… with Queen Niyora at the top, the ultimate prize. Her first target was a military tribunal officer, who was a known Niyora lackey, that presided of the kangaroo court that convicted her parents of a crime they did not commit. There would-be no-show trial, no live cameras, no court “justice” … this was simple street justice.

Ai did not have to wait long for her opportunity. The lackey loved the sauce and would go on day long benders and stumble back to whatever hole he crawled out of to sleep off his stupor. Maybe the reason he drunk so much was because he was trying to drown out the cries of his victims before their murder. Ai almost relented on her attack after thinking that. Maybe it was better to let this pathetic creature continue to wallow in his self-destructive behavior and suffer those screams. Killing him would almost seem merciful at this point, but despite that, Ai killed him on his way back from the bars, making it look like a simple robbery, taking what little money he had on him and leaving the body.

No evidence would prove she was the responsible party. There would not be much effort made in locating the killer either, knowing the tribunal’s poor habits siting that stupidity as the cause of his downfall. This had been too easy for Ai and she knew it would only get harder from there. One foolish slip up on her part would prevent her sister from launching the coup to retake the planet.

Her next target was the treacherous informant, who had broken bread with her parents a few days prior to the Usurper Queen’s own coup. Her parents had trusted Tokako and she sold them out for a small purse of cash. For 14 years, this one had skulked around among the living and Ai aimed to change that. After two weeks, Ai decided to use her training to make it look like a fire broke out in her home. She was able to set Tokako up for this by poisoning her drink with knockout serum and then setting food on her stove full of oil at super high heat, causing the inevitable fire and destruction that took place. The last words Ai uttered to Tokako was, “This is for my family. These flames are only a small taste of what’s in store for you.” And Ai walked out casually.

She would be unable to continue, not because of the two killings she committed, but because Midori forbade her from continuing since they were so close to their objective. Midori and her sisters would launch the countercoup that shook Nekonia to its core. Ai would get her revenge on more on her list, but Niyora’s head fell to Kevin Junia’s blade. Ai was not thrilled about that but accepted what had happened. She was not thrilled with Midori’s decision to not put Niyora’s clan and supporters to the sword. She knew that Shogun Junia had something to do with this and was not pleased at all. She was grateful to him and his support, but this had robbed her of some of the top names on her list.

Kevin knew this and took a young Nekonia woman, quite a stunning beauty at that, who was the wife of one of the high-ranking officers responsible for killing many innocent Nekonians and placed her in front of Ai. Midori had granted her sentence to Ai for judgement. The poor Nekonian named Rinka also had three young kittens with her that were part of the sentencing. Thanks to Kevin’s lesson, the four were unharmed by Ai, who gained a better understanding what her revenge was doing. She could not kill the young woman and her kittens and understood the difficulty of the position that Midori was in and so was Kevin in their leadership positions. The three kittens would be raised as Yuroti, and not Niyora’s faction as part of the healing process.

Of Kanorians and Kappa Force

The Coalition of the Guardian Republic had a fledgling but effecting special forces group, a place where Ai thought her talents would be best served. She asked her new boss, the Shogun Kevin Junia, if she could be assigned to Kappa Force, and head up his ship's SF team. Seeing her abilities firsthand, he was inclined to agree. Fortunately, the new group had the cream of the crop of six major races: Humans, Lenari, Denari, Whiskan, Canisian, and Nekonian. From these, not just the alphas but the apex predators would make the cut.

Oddly enough, Ai chose not to take a high rank, but instead to start as an Ensign. While the Kappas were her brainchild (among a few others), she felt it was not right of her to start in a high leadership position. She needed to earn her place and earn the trust of those who would one day serve under her. This proved to be an exceptionally good strategy, one that endeared her well to those who would don the name Kappa Force.

While seeing limited use in the Glacien War, the Doomin Civil War proved to be an invaluable opportunity to learn and grow. While the Kanorians were only fighting the first few months before not engaging further in pitched battles, they were more than happy to supply their allies in the civil war with spec ops support. These clandestine units proved to be pivotal in helping to win and end the civil war quickly. Ai would be promoted to Lieutenant for her actions and leadership.

Unfortunately, the Lavinin-Kanori War caught the Coalition off guard. It was so bad that within a month, Earth had been surrounded and Whisken was being attacked for the final strike against Guardia Prime. The occupied worlds of the Coalition proved to be perfect breeding grounds for patriotic souls with survival skills to wreak havoc on garrison forces stationed on occupied worlds. Ai herself was caught on a forested world that was home to Nekonian, Enari, and Human colonists. The forest provided excellent cover for the resistance efforts she led against the occupiers. She even managed to capture a few Lavinin ships and used them to free the occupied world by sneak attacking the unsuspecting occupiers.

The Jordini War gave the Nekonian a chance to really branch out without much oversite. Now a Lieutenant Commander, she would lead much of the 8th Fleet’s clandestine actions. She was proving more and more she was an omega among the apex predators. If it needed to be done, she could get it done despite the odds.

The Firestar-Beryl alliance pitted Ai against some of the toughest assignments she ever had. Youma were not to be trifled with, but despite their ferocity and abilities, Ai and the Kappas were extremely crucial in preventing the Sailor Senshi and their Knights from getting overwhelmed. To take on a squad of Kappa forces was to court death, and very few enemies and allies alike were willing to go toe to toe with them.

Himiko's War and the Sword of Amaterasu

Is there not a war that Ai did not shine? Her abilities more than ever were needed to counter the schemes of Emperor Wu of Neo-Wei and his puppeteer Himiko. Ai was great at coordinating her Kappas to hit strategic targets by throwing bases into chaos, incapacitating transport mechanisms, and hitting supply lines. She was able to prevent any meaningful counterattack from taking place in the Manchu territory as the Kanorians advanced.

Ai’s skills would be combined with Ryoko’s as they went with Kevin to find the Sword of Amaterasu at a temple submerged by the building of the Three Gorges Dam. Very deep in the heart of Neo-Wei territory, Ai’s resourcefulness was crucial in helping the strike force make the long trek from the middle of Hunan province to Szechuan province. Fortunately for them, the military presence of the area was lighter than the front lines, but still very considerable. If they were discovered, fighting their way-out would-be a near impossibility. They set up a camp in a nearby tree line where the task force would await the return of Ai, Ryoko, and Kevin. They had special rebreathers, thanks to the Syrens, that would allow them to breathe underwater naturally. The three also wore special googles with built in HUDs that would allow them to see underwater and guide them to their target. Oddly enough, the temple they were looking for was only a few hundred feet down, but it was near the middle of the lake. Taking a boat with the amount of patrol craft in the water would be neigh impossible for this group without attracting attention. They would have to swim the distance, a tiring feat no matter who you are.

It took several hours to get to the temple, but they arrived without issue. Once there, they were guided to a path that went still further down but came back up and there was a break in the water line. They were on dry land… an air bubble that even the sinking of the temple could not get rid of. The HUDs displayed no toxins in the air… a breathable atmosphere was in place, allowing the three to take a break and break out some provisions.

Though it was a bit cold, the three were not chilled. Their suits allowed the bodies to not only retain heat but produce enough to keep the three comfortable. Once they had enough rest, some water, and food in their stomach, they hit their LEDs to illuminate the cavern. For obvious reasons, having a fire down there was detrimental for their health. They went to the end of the cavern after some twists and turns, beautiful murals painted on the walls, only to hit a dead end. It was here that AI noticed the Kanorian eight-point star etched into the door. And each one had a symbol… including the Junia on the top.

Ai took several pictures of the door before the three started looking for a secret passageway. Ryoko noticed that the symbols each had a push button. None could be sure if there was a code to this, but Ai decided to go for the symbol that looked like a chrysanthemum flower… they symbol of the Japanese Imperial Royal family. And sure enough, the cavern revealed another passageway for them. Even Kevin was not sure about what they had just saw. He could not recall this place’s construction from his past self’s memories.

Fortunately, they did not have to go far to see the stolen Imperial family treasures from long ago: The legendary Sword of Amaterasu and her reflecting shield. Kevin went to pick up the sword but found himself unable to life the blade. Ai struggled but was able to move it, but Ryoko went to help and was able to pick it up with ease. It would seem as though she had a bit of the blood of Amaterasu flowing in her veins. As a Prime Kanorian, Kevin was forbidden from being able to wield the weapons of the other Prime Kanorians. Ryoko would have to keep it protected.
