Description

I wanted to design a special suit of armor just for Ashton and Zuma. This is Ashton's armor which I have dubbed the Armor of the Dominator and yes Ashton is in that armor. Based on what I've read in XD's story, Ashton just has Seigfried's armor for the most part and I wanted to give him something unique. I like it and I hope :iconxd-385: does too since this was SUPPOSED to be a Thanksgiving/Christmas gift. The little story clip I included most likely WON'T happen for various reasons and I doubt Ashton had Soul Calibur to turn into its Zweilhander form since he carries around both it and the Flameberge.
------------------------------------------------------

The day was pretty nice out; mostly sunny with a few clouds and just enough of a breeze to make it very pleasant. It was on this day, in front of Rohta Castle, that a special ceremony was held. Lined in front of a makeshift yet decorative stage was an entire battalion of Knights, Soldiers, and even a few Shinobi were in the mix. These were his men, his friends, and his loyal soldiers who stuck with him through it all. His chest swelled with pride not only for himself but for them as well. They all had received not only a promotion in status and rank, but also a considerable bonus that was large enough to retire on. On some makeshift yet also very decorative bleachers were his family and friends. Each of them invited to bear witness to this monumental occasion.
“Ashton. Approach the stage.”
Ashton blinked back to reality and did as he was told. He walked up the stepped and approached the man that had beckoned him, Masigun the King of Clavice. For these ceremonies the leader of another allied Kingdom was called in to do the proceeding as it was a way for the other Kingdom to recognize the strength and rank of the individual so these things were personal. As Ashton approached King Masigun, he distinctly heard his CO shout.
“Battalion! Attention!”
The sound of one big and unified thud was enough to tell Ashton that the command had been practiced a lot just for this moment. Ashton stopped in front of King Masigun and stood at attention. His new armor crafted just for him gleamed in the sunlight and his cape fluttered in the light breeze. King Masigun himself was fully decked out in his red armor with the exception of his helmet and when adding in his height and the aura of authority he was throwing off, he was one individual a person couldn’t help but to respect. King Masigun turned at a soldier walked up to him from behind and kneeled while presenting to him the last piece of Ashton’s armor, the helmet. King Masigun took the helmet and the soldier got up, bowed, and walked off the stage. King Masigun then turned to Ashton and nodded.
“It is long overdue isn’t it? That not only Rohta but also Clavice itself recognizes your strength, valor, and commitment to not only your values but to your duty, to your family, and to your soldiers. That we recognize what has been done by your undying will and sharp mind in face of not only the scrutiny and scorn of your fellow citizens of Rohta but also the sadness of your family and friends. It is today on this day of days that we now recognize you. Kneel Sir Ashton Redford Crimson, Knight of Rohta.”
Ashton did as he was told and kneeled to King Masigun. As King Masigun placed the helmet upon Ashton he spoke.
“As I place this on your head, no longer shall you be a Knight. As this helm completes your armor you shall now and forever be known as Conqueror Ashton Redford Crimson. Let none stand so boldly against you and what you stand for. Let all your enemies know that when they dare to look upon your visage of valor, their defeat is imminent. Now rise Conqueror, rise and take in the full scope of your destiny.”
At that Ashton rose to his feet and faced his men. His power was now coursing through his armor making the jewels on his shoulders and gauntlets turn red and making his helmet’s visor produce an orange haze but it didn’t affect his vision. Ashton looked over his battalion and drew Soul Calibur from his back and held at his side. Ashton then thrust the blade into the air and let out a bellowing roar of command. His men didn’t even hesitate to raise their weapons and let out their own roar. The citizens of Rohta who were present and watching now cheered at their loudest as various rose petals rained down. King Masigun stood nearby and smiled as he crossed his arms.
“And now it is proven that strength is born from within people. Not given to certain people who were born.”
