The famous newscaster, Terry Williams reports on the latest in the nation. He has slick brown hair, and blue eyes.

"Breaking News! The President of the Republic of Coreworlds, John "Tenchi" Masaki has been indicted as a prime suspect in the murder of 'Uncle' Nick Sandler, a prominent CEO of the local chapter of Boeing. A videotape given by an anonymous citizen has captured this terrible crime, so young and weak-hearted people should not see this.

(Tape plays)

"Hello, Uncle Nick." A youngish, gruff voice said. He is clad in black and has a ski mask on.
"Who are you?" The businessman asked.
"You know full well."
"You!" Nick's eyes grew wide. "What do you want?"
"Only your blood, old man." With that, a lightsaber sprang to life, and stabbed him in the chest, cateurizing the heart and killing him. The murderer fled the scene.

(tape ends)

"The anonymous citizen is positive that the murderer is the President." Mr. Williams was then given a sheet of paper. "We have just recieved word that the highest military officer in the land, General Jared Hamdo, will personally arrest the President and he has pledged to keep order 'in case Masaki tries a coup.'"

"More news as this breaking story develops."

General Hamdo:
http://zali-barth.youngbiz.com/hamdo-sama.jpg

:? :? The Fedral Union is extreamly troubled buy this and is watching it Closely. .

I turned off the TV. General Hamdo. Damn. To indict me in a murder I did not commit, and then stage a coup de grace. Genius. I called an emergency council meeting with all of my cabinet members and went down to the Situation Room.

"You all know that I did not kill Uncle Nick, but the people do not." I said. "What are we to do?"

"I say send you somewhere to ride this out." Yusuke, the SecDefense said.
"No." Bryan Sandler, Nick's real nephew, and the Vice President, countered. "That will mean that there is no doubt in the public's mind, that you did do this."
"Then what is John going to do then?" Ryan, my younger brother and the Secretary of State, asked.
A tough decision. Then, I knew what to do. I unhooked my lightsaber and gave it to Ryan. "I'm turning myself in."
"WHAT?!" The others shouted.
"You can't!" Yusuke said.
I sighed. "Ryan. Go to Gramps and get the Jedi out of the country. I have no doubt that they're going to be targets once he gets his hands on the government. Yusuke, get a copy of the tape and send it to our CIA analysts. The rest of you, get out of the country, as fast as you can. If it is clear that Hamdo is turning this nation into a dictatorship, you'll need to set up a government-in-exile."
"We'll head to Konoha." Mike Horgan, the National Security Advisor suggested.
"Good. I'm going. Meeting is adjourned." The bodyguards reported that the general has arrived at the White House's doorstep, with tanks and APCs. I walked outside, ignoring protesters demanding my blood and allowed the soldiers to pat me down and cuff me.
"General." I coldly acknowledged him.
"Mr. ex-President." He smiled frostily. "You are in big trouble, young man. Very big trouble."
"You know damned well I didn't do it." I hissed. "When I find a way to exonerate myself, you're finished."
"Ah." the general laughed aloud. "We'll see about that. One wonders who the people are going to believe, a murderous brat or the new leader of Coreworlds, who is going to lead this nation to a grand destiny."
"You're mad!" I shouted. "You're no different from Hitler, Stalin, even Saddam! The people will never follow you. Never!"
"We'll see about that, boy. Take him away!" With that order, someone smashed a gun butt into my head, and blackness overtook me.

*3rd person*
The limp body of the young ex-president was taken away to Fort Hellywood, the general's base in the Dragon Mountains. Meanwhile, General Hamdo ordered the White House stormed, to search for the rest of the cabinet. However, the cabinet took a back exit, and piled into waiting helicopters. When Hamdo's soldiers started shooting at them, the Secret Service bodyguards fired back, igniting a short, but bloody firefight. The helicopters made it to the Jedi Academy here, where my brother warned my grandfather and the other Jedi of the possibility of an attack by the general. The younger children were taken to safety, and the older Jedi spread out, seeking places to ride out this coup. When Hamdo's Dark Jedi stormed the Academy, it was mostly empty but for a few defenders who were sebsequently killed after some intense duels. A secret manhunt would then begin, rooting out Jedi, like the Nazis after Jews.

OOC:
Okay, General, later to be Emperor Hamdo, is my grandfather's apprentice, and a failed one at that. He recruited a number of Dark Jedi (30) to act as his top soldiers, sort of like Hitler's SS. They will root out and recruit other Jedi (join or die is the choice), and will have authority over all military and civilian leaders.
Hamdo will soon engage in a campaign of terror, oppression, and tyranny, like nothing the world has ever seen since WWII. He'll make 9/11 look like a child's game (no offense to victims). But you don't know that IC, yet.

Some time later, the newly crowned 1st Emperor of Coreworlds sat in a refurbished and lavish throne room, idly deciding what to do next. He smiled evily, as slave girls danced to his delight. He pressed a secret button.

"Commander Abelia? Come in, please." He requested. Supreme Commander Abelia Soran is Emperor Hamdo's second-in-command and lover. A tough and loyal woman, she has close-cropped hair and a strong body.

"Yes, my lord?" She asked.

"It is time to start implementing the ultimate plan. All male children, from the age of 5 onwards, will be taken to military bases around the nation to train. They are to form the nexus of my Grand Army."

"And if the families object?" Abelia asked. "and the press reports on this measure?"

"Deal with them as you see fit." Was the cold reply.

"Very well, sir." She bowed and left the room.

Soldiers in the military objected to the orders at first, but summary executions put an end to the dissent. News stations were ordered to close and the reporters sent to prison camps in the desert. Only the CWNN pledged not to report on this incident and was allowed to keep running.

Families all over the nation were torn apart, as soldiers took young boys away and sent them bases taken over by Hamdo's most loyal soldiers. There, they would be subjected to tough military discipline, and told they would go home if they listened to the commander's orders. That, of course was a lie, but it kept the younger ones quiet. Parents who objected were beaten, and some were even killed. Sisters were left alone, for now. As the press was silenced, the only way to send the truth out was via the embassies, the Internet, and even ham radio.

This, of course, swells the ranks of the military to about 20,000,000 (maybe more) which, of course will cause the economy to go to hell in the future, but Emperor Hamdo only cares about conquest (conquest = $$$, land and power).

OOC:
The only way for you other nations to know about this crime is via your intel organizations, the Internet, ham radio operators and/or the embassies (they'll close later). There is, of course, nothing that can be done about this national kidnapping of children until conquest actually begins. Even so, you'll have to invade (and not ignore Dark Jedi) and that is frowned upon without evidence.

sorry double post

Numerous web sites and chat rooms sprung up after the kidnapping of the nation's male children, demanding that something be done about this. Soon, hundreds of parents and relatives marched down the streets of the capital, Core City, and demanded that the kids be returned to them.

"My lord, what shall we do about them?" Abelia asked.

"Show them, my dear, that I do not tolerate dissent, and that they will submit to my rule, or die!" Hamdo growled.

"As you wish, my lord."

Hamdo's personal bodyguards demanded that the crowd disperse, or be shot. Defiantly, the crowd pushed forward, possibly hoping to get at the new leader. Machine guns suddenly opened fire, spraying deadly bullets into the crowd. Dozens were killed, and hundreds injured. Such is the tyranny and darkness that now plagues Coreworlds.

****************
Later...

"So tell me, boy. Where are your cabinet members?" Hamdo asked.
"I told you, I don't know." I said, in a dungeon. Hamdo then smacked me with the hilt of his lightsaber. "Even if I did, I would never tell you."
"So, not surprisingly you defy me. We'll see about THAT!" A bolt of lightning shot forth from his fingers.
"AAH!" I yelped in pain, and collapsed. Struggling to get up, a sharp kick to my ribs sent me reeling.
"I'll leave you now. I may or may not kill you next time I see you." Hamdo sneered and walked out of my cell.
Then blessed darkness swept over me yet again.

Nice post but no one seems to be reponding to this rp ..?)

Exetonia will be keeping her eye on the situation very closely. We will not intervene but, diplomatic relations may suffer... We will respond as and when we see fit - Exetonian Government.

Why not just put an embargo on them ? or un sactions ?

Why not just put an embargo on them ? or un sactions ?

We believe that should Coreworlds people wish to change the situation, they are capable of doing it themselves. As they are still an ally, we shall not intevene but, we do condone these actions. Also, we already have far to many embargos in place and it is not my place to put UN sanctions on CoreWorlds.

If the situation gets any worse the Fedral Union will intervine ...

We wont intervine milltarly ... not unless the situation becomes desprate .

OOC: I invite other nationstates to comment on this interesting turn to the dark side by my nation.

IC:
Admiral Paul Swenson of the CWS Knightsaber (Nimitz-class carrier) looked in horror at the reports of the kidnapped children, and the subsequent massacre of the parents. His own son must have been conscripted among the thousands of child troops that now train alongside the older soldiers. He sighed. It is time.

He picked up the mike, and keyed in the intership comm.

"My fellow Coredians. You have all heard of the massacre that occured yesterday. It has occured to me now that our President may have been framed in a murder he did not commit. It is no longer a question of who is in power now: a power-hungry dictator who will stop at nothing to rule the world, if he could. I ask of you to do something that many have done in the face of Tyranny and Oppression. We must fight back! We must cut our ties with the Emperor Hamdo, and make our way to the nation of Konohagekure. There, we will seek asylum and figure out a plan to take back what is rightfully ours! Are you with me?!"

Cheers and applause gave him the answer. He waited for the noise to quiet before continuing.

"Make no mistake. What we are about to do will amount to nothing less than treason, and therefore, Hamdo will send loyal forces after us, to destroy us. We must be vigilant! Only if we are alert, can we survive. Now, to finish, man your battle stations!"

It is done. The 1st Core Fleet has rebelled. The good admiral controls a sixth of the Navy, containing:
2 Carriers
3 Battleships
4 Cruisers
5 Destroyers
5 Frigates
and 4 Subs. Not to mention a regiment of Marines, a helicopter carrier and supply craft.

It is enough to give the remaining loyal ships pause, although the fleet can still be destroyed with nukes or a long battle. Fighters were launched into the air, now to fight against those who were once their own. Brother against brother. Begun, this Civil War has! (get me a tissue!)

Admiral Swenson:

( :? Do i have a feeling im getting ignored hear ?)
:? :?

Presider Robert Setats spun around in his chair several times, elevating it.

"Marshall Cvest. What do we know about the situation?"

"The nation know as Core Worlds has turned itself into an Empire. One of the generals has assumed command of the nation." The field marshall set down the folder. He hated being alone in the conference room with the leader of the nation. He was not a large man, standing in at 5'6", but that didn't change the fact that he was an intimidating fellow.

"Wait..you interupted the best game of Ski-ball of my life to let me know some nation half an ocean away is now an empire."

"Uhh.." Ski-ball? What? "Yes sir. The final decision comes to you."

"For what? What the hell's your major malfunction? You know well that our laws prohibit this sort of action."

"Well, from a few scattered reports, he's taken all male children from 5 on up to military bases for training. When civilians protested, he fragged them." The Presider was annoyed by this, and his face slowly turned red, resembling a large tomato.

"Go. Deal with it yourself. I have a Ski-ball game to finish and- wait? All children 5 on up?"

"Yes sir."

"Mobilize a regiment of gunships. I think we'll let the 'Emperor' know what we think of this in due time."
_____________________________________________________________

Two hours later on a one way live feed:

"Emperor Hamdo. The nation of Deadulus condones your actions in the past few days. We strongly believe that you should have a due trial before a permanent leader is selected, but this is not why I am speaking to you."
"You have opened fire on protesting civilians as well as conscripted children for military service far younger than international standards. This is in direct violation of U.N. statutes, and if you should continue, they will be notified. Deadulus out."

OOC:Ow. My head hurts. I'll post more tommorow.

As the rebel fleet sped for the great shinobi nation, calls from Hamdo to the flagship were not answered, and the Emperor grew furious.

"I want the Second and Third fleets to intercept and destroy the 1st Fleet now!" He ordered angrily, which his minions carried out. Next, he had his minister of information (i mean, propaganda [:P]) get a message to all nations of this rebellion, and to 'enlist' their aid in destroying it.

"Breaking News! The 1st Core Fleet has broken away from the rest of the Navy, and has been considered by the Glorious Emperor as a highly dangerous rebel fleet, and offers 1 billion credits per ship to any nation who helps in sinking the fleet. The ships are as follows: (OOC: see above)."

( :? Do i have a feeling im getting ignored hear ?)
:? :?

OOC: Nah. Gotta make a strong statement against Hamdo for his practices. Besides, the Emperor is busy consoliding power and planning conquests.

IC:
Emperor Hamdo is not even going to answer the charges from the small and puny nation that dares to challenge him. He sends a reply: "Be warned, small nation, for we will brook no aggression from you. Our satellites are watching your every move right now."

Meanwhile, near Fort Hellywood, where I am held prisoner, a car approaches the gates. It is halted by the soldiers, guns at the ready. a sergeant looks inside. He sees an old man, a young teenager riding shotgun and a slightly older teen in the back.

"Turn around now, or be shot." the soldier ordered.
The old man said nothing, but waved his hand slightly. "We mean no harm."
"You mean no harm."
"We may be let through."
"You can go through."
"Good day."
"Good day."
The soldier signaled to the others, and the gate lifted. The car drove to a shadowy area and the occupants, wearing military fatigues, got out. They were my grandfather, Yosho Masaki; my brother, Ryan Masaki; and Erik Yurka, son of the Emperor of Yurka (an old friend). They split up, and went in search of the ex-President.

(statement )The Fedral union has hear buy placed a major ecnomic embargo on the nation of Core Worlds until its orginol goverment has been re enstaited
and furhter more the Congress Of the Fedral Union has Passed a resultion alwoing milltary exercises 100 miles out side of core wolds jursticion

if any attack on fedral union forces is made you will have more than a reblion to worry about .
(end state ment )

(ill post to morw its go time for me now lol)

(Music for the air/sea battle (http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/sony/ps2/DC2BATT.mid) Let me know if there's a better one.)

Lieutenant Charlie Ramsey is 50,000 feet above sea level, in an F-14D Tomcat. He scans the horizon for enemy planes, when his instruments detect something.

"Bogeys at 12:00!" He warned the others. At a missile warning, he broke formation, and two fast spears sped past him. He got a lock on an enemy and let loose a Sparrow. It hit an enemy, then loyal F/A-18s bore in, starting a knife fight. Charlie got off two more shots, before a missile locked on him. Try as he might, he couldn't shake loose, and then it struck, tore apart the fighter, and killed the young pilot instantly. The battle was a close one for the Rebels, with 20 'Cats destroyed or damaged to the enemy's 25 F/A-18s.

Suddenly, cruise missiles from enemy cruisers and battleships were reported, and SM-1 missiles from the defenders met and intercepted several. More still came, and then antimissile laser/gatling cannons came online, destroying the rest. Except one that bore in and hit the Knight Justice, a battleship, and killed dozens.

Retaliation resulted in several enemy destroyers damaged and a cruiser that sank with all hands. Such is the path of civil war. Konohagekure Village suddenly feels very far away indeed.

The Emperor orders the 2nd Fleet to keep an eye on Fedral Union's fleet, and to make sure it doesn't get past the hundred mile line it designated for itself.

2nd Core Fleet:
2 Carriers
1 battleship
4 Destroyers
3 Cruisers
3 Frigates
4 Submarines

Meanwhile, at Fort Hellywood...

I weakly sat up, utilizing the Force to heal myself. Soon, my chest stopped hurting, and I could walk around. Of course, then I realized I was ravenous, but I suppose the soldiers are to starve me until I'm too weak to resist. I sighed and leaned back against the cold stone wall, reflecting on the past events of the week. How am I going to exonerate myself from a murder I didn't commit? I suppose Yusuke's already got ahold of the tape and is now searching for a way to see if it was doctored or something.

Suddely, I could hear footsteps. A teen, of about 15 or so, seemed to be patrolling the dungeons.

http://zali-barth.youngbiz.com/Nabuca.jpg
Black hair kid on the left.

"Hey." I called. "What's your name?"
The boy seemed to warily dart his eyes back and forth. "Nathan. And if you know what's good for you, you'd quit talking to me."
Talk about antisocial. "Perhaps. What are you doing here?"
"What do you think? I'm stuck as a soldier, at least until they allow us to go back home."
"Us?"
"There are others. Almost every kid in the nation was conscripted."
"What? That's insane!"
"Yeah. There's nothing we can do. They beat us if we tried to escape."
"Damn!" This turn of events has my blood almost boiling, but I suppressed it. I had to get out of here, but how?
To my surprise, he unlocked the door. "If we kept quiet, you'll be just another soldier."
"Thanks."

"Now, here's some clothes for you to wear." Nathan held up fatigues, orange and brown splotches all over.
I put them on. "You're taking a terrible risk releasing me like this."
"Feh. Just don't tell anybody who you really are."
"Right."
He led me out of the dungeons, where other kids were training hard. Sergeants had whips to spur on the young soldiers through obstacle courses. Well, I thought. The time will come when these kids will be freed, but now is not the right time.
I went through one of the courses fairly quickly, and once all the kids were finished, we lined up by age group. As the sergeant passed me, he did a slight double take.
"Say, you look familiar." He said, looking closer. "Name?"
"Jack." I said, thinking quickly. "No other."
He leaned close and whispered. "Be careful of the Dark Jedi."
"Yes sir." I answered, and the sergeant resumed inspection.

OOC: Bump due to writer's block.

In the land of Konohagekure, well known for it's ninjas and use of stealth equipment, lives the remnants of the presidental cabinet and refugees who managed to flee the now dictatorial nation. Yusuke Urameshi, the former Defense secretary, paced back and forth in anxiety. He's wondering what to do, now that Hamdo has seriously pissed him off by taking over a beloved country and turning it into another stupid dictatorship.

"Calm down Yusuke. You're wearing a hole in the floor." Kurama said calmly.

"How can I?!" The 14-year-old Spirit Detective blurted. "Our friend is probably languishing in a dungeon, the kids are forced to become soldiers, and to top it all, I'm bored sitting around here doing nothing! I can't wait to shove a Spirit Gun right up that emperor's--!"

"There are kids reading this, you know!" Sakura, Naruto's ninja collegue shot back. "Besides, he's too powerful right now. We have to get allies first."

"And how are we going to do that?"

"Patience." Yoda walked in. (He came to Konoha a few months ago. No one knows how or why. Don't worry, he's not going to turn into Bruce Lee again.) "Sooner or later, bite off more than he could chew, Hamdo will. Then defeat him, young Masaki will."
"Why John?" Naruto asked.
"His destiny, it is. His trial it will be, before he will become a Knight. If he fails..."
The old Jedi Master let the words hang, letting them spectulate what would happen.
Yusuke sighed. "But he's stuck back home."
"But not alone." Yoda said. "Seeking him at this very moment, is his brother and grandfather. Bring him here, they will, to plan an attack."
The old Jedi then hobbled away, leaving the others alone.

It was the middle of the night. However, I couldn't sleep. I got out of bed and quietly exited the barracks. I jogged around the base, avoiding the sentries (all too young), and when I went through a particularly shadowy part of the base, a hand grabbed me.

"Shhh! It's me!" A young voice whispered.

"Ryan?" I hissed back. "You're supposed to be out of the country!"

"Well, Gramps is around, too. He says you have to come with us."

"But, I..."

"John! Hamdo could kill you any time!"

"I can't escape! Not without raising more suspicion than necessary. I might be able to escape if war with another nation begins, but not now."

"Damn you. You always were the stubborn one. Here." He held out my lightsaber. I took it and pocketed it.

"Ryan. Find Gramps and get out of here. I mean it."

"But--"

"Now, before I call the sentries!"

"You won't need to, Tenchi." An older voice spoke throught the darkness. Gramps have always called me Tenchi, even when the others call me John. "We're going to head out of here. Oh, and Erik is around as another soldier. Just so you know. And, finally, be careful."

"I will, Gramps."

"Goodbye, Grandson." With a swish of a cloak, the Jedi Master was gone, and so was my brother.

OOC:
Now, I going to decide which country to invade first, sparking off WWII all over again. I will need volunteers to act as victim nations. Boy, do I love being evil. MWAHAHAHAHA! *ahem*

1 Month Later... (The rogue fleet has made it to Konoha Village ages ago, and is refitting.)

Emperor Hamdo has completed the transition to complete power and control over his newly stolen nation. Now, he is ready to reach out and pluck the tasty fruit that are other nations.

"Hmm. I wonder which one shall I go for first?" He muttered, looking at the weird map that is NationStates. "Perhaps...that one. Commander Abelia? Ready all military units. I want them all ready to fight, on my command."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Which nation are we targeting first?"

"I'll let you know when I'm ready."

"Very well, sir."

Satellites from other nations would show that Coreworlds' military units are gearing up for war. Land maneuvers are being conducted, and naval/air units are drilling intensely. Secret messages between nationalized oil companies and the military report on the status of reserves, which are enough to fight several major wars before needing replenishing.

(Deated due to double post)

:P Right and you will be stopped buy a lot of nations if you try to attack any innosent contrys ...

dont for get the fedral union will also want a a little bit of your ass ... if ya attack any one

(if this post more than once ill try to edit and deat it. )

OOC: (evil voice) Then I'll have to deal with you, first! Or at least a December or January one, then you. Fedral Union, your soul's ass is mine! :twisted: BTW, do you want to start a new thread for the war, or stay in this one? We'll have to TG each other for rules to agree on, too.

IC:

Hamdo decided that the first nation to take would be a small island called Bermuda, which has a small navy and a Regiment. (IRL, Bermuda is defended by the UK, and the US, but here, it's all alone.)

"All right. Abelia, ready the 2nd Fleet, plus the Hellywood Division. The target is: Bermuda!"

OOC: (evil voice) Then I'll have to deal with you, first! Or at least a December or January one, then you. Fedral Union, your soul's ass is mine! :twisted:

OOC: Ooooh I'm a January nation, fight me, meee!!!!!!!! :D

Anywho I'm just here to monitor whats going on after the Fedral Union brought me here to this thread. Nothing of a threat, just watching for now. :)

OOC: :shock: Uh, *sweatdrops* I meant a December '03, January '04 nation. Oh, well, just as long as you don't kill my nation. (although a bigger nation might be nice in the future...)

:roll: I have a mutch better econmy than you... you may have the bigger numbers but your econmy suggest that your milltary cant be that advaced...
And i also doubt you would be willing to go up against the entier terran allince and its other regional allies not to metion my milltary is more adavced ... and i can support better equipment ...

.....The Fedral union has stalites orbiting your nation and we are montering this closely.

This is the Foreign Minister of Corneliu to the Leader of the Core Worlds.

We do not want to see a war explode here. Recant your words and lets talk peace. If war comes, how many civilians will die? How many soldiers will die? War is a filthy business. To counter this, we need to talk peace.

Thats frieking hilarious! You made my day, tradewinds.

There is another thread, that coreworlds made on the invasion of bermuda. As a result of activities on that thread, all trade with coreworld and his allies has been halted and military action is almost certain to take place.

OOC: hello guys!!! it's been since I've read these war games... :lol: i've gotten tired thinking what time country A declared war on country B or which part country B bombed country X... :lol:

My suggestion is that just bring in a couple of terrorists with suitcase nukes then blow the hell up the current dictator in his ass...much better that way... :D

OOC: Nope. Won't allow it. Besides, I want my former president to duel with the dictator at the end of the RP.

IC:
I was training along with the other child soldiers, when a little boy named Billy came running by.

"Guys! It's...it's..." He was breathless from running so fast.

"Who?" I asked.

Finally, the little tanned kid gets it out. "Ryushi Tamura!"

I narrowed my eyes. Ryushi sounds like one of the students that were expelled over a year ago from the Jedi Academy for nearly dueling another student to death. Odd that he would be around.

"Atten-shun!" A sergeant's voice snapped like a whip, and everyone stood up. A young man, two years older than me walked in. He had brown hair, and mocking brown eyes. He always seemed to have a perpetral sneer on his face. He wore all black, and had a chrome lightsaber on his belt.

"Ryushi." I said quietly. I could sense darkness from him. Could he be one of the Jedi that make up Hamdo's elite SS guards? I'd bet my money on it.

"Ah. John Masaki! What a surprise to see you here." Ryushi said, not in a nice way.

"Likewise." I replied coolly. "I could have sworn I smelled the stench of Hamdo all over you."

Everyone backed up, as the dark Jedi grew infuriated, and leaned closer. "It's Emperor Hamdo to you! Perhaps you should watch your mouth, Masaki or else I'll shut it up for you."

"Yeah, right. I wonder what's worse, you defending a bloodthirsty dictator or you being addicted to the dark side."

"I'll show you what is the true power of the Force!" He backed up and threw some lightning. Unlike Hamdo's, this one was weaker, and I was able to block it with just my hand and absorb the energy.

I grinned. "Well, looks like we know who more powerful. Shall we step outside?"

"Grrr. Outside, then!"

Outside, it was dark, and getting stormy. Perfect weather for a battle. Lightning flashed against the sky, and no one noticed the (real) CNN news camera that somehow got past the base and is up and running, so engrossed they were in the coming duel.

Without a second to lose, Ryushi ignited his blood-red blade, and struck for my neck. I intercepted it with my own blue blade, and then the duel began. The clash of the lightsabers sent sparks flying as the two of us dueled. Attack and defend, thrust and parry, we fought. The stakes have never been higher, as the one who lost would lose his limb, or his life. Ryushi thrust downward to cut my knees, and I jumped overhead. Upon landing, I spun around, and the sabers clashed again.

It was a while before one of us managed to gain the upper hand. I took the offensive, and finally cut the dark Jedi's hand off. Ryushi howled in pain and rage, and fired off another bolt of lightning, which I rebounded on him, knocking him out. The duel is done.

Now that I defeated a dark Jedi, I had to get out of here or else he'll wake up and order soldiers after me.
Suddenly, I bumped into another soldier, who looked like...

"Erik?"
"Yep. Great fight you had there."
"Thanks. I think you and I need to get out of here."
"You read my mind, John."
I laughed, and we decided to hatch a plan. We would go out after lights out, and commandeer a car. Then we would drive through the gate, and towards Konohagekure, which shares a border with us. Now we split up, and I went 'home' to cheering troops. The celebration didn't last long, as we had to get back to training, but it was enough.

Soon, my friends, I will be back for you. I silently thought. The child soldiers were not just all-too-young nameless faces. They were people, young and bright. The Emperor has yet to kill the light within them, but I knew it was only a matter of time.

As planned, we met up at midnight behind a shack. We used the shadows to keep ourselves from being seen, and then we managed to take an empty Hummer. No key, but no matter, for Erik hot-wired it, and soon, we were on our way to the front gate.

The guards ordered us to halt, but they had to get out of the way or risk getting squashed along with the gate.

"We did it!" Erik exulted.

"We're not done, yet!" I warned him, as there were Jeeps coming after us. Machine gun fire ripped around the Hummer, but it is military-issue, with bulletproof glass and tires. We zoomed along the highway, finding exits towards Konohagekure, to the northeast. Roadblocks were set up by police, but the Hummer isn't a favorite among soldiers for nothing, and we crashed through the cop cars. Nearby is desert, and we drove off track thru shortcuts.

Ba-boom! An explosion sent sand flying. It was from a Cobra that was wakened up to chase us.

"Here, you drive!" I shouted to Erik. I went up the sunroof, grabbed the machine gun and fired at the chopper, which had to try and dodge. I managed to hit the cockpit, and make the chopper crash.

"How far are we from the border?" I asked Erik.
"About five miles or so!"
"Great!" All I had to do was keep using the machine gun to keep jeeps and choppers away--

Tseeww-boom! The explosion nearly threw me off. A missile?! That means...A Raptor or Apache! Damn, those will be hard to beat! The chopper seemed to be a Raptor one, even though I couldn't exactly see in the dark. We had only a few miles from the border, but the chopper was faster. There seemed to be a dark Jedi aboard, because it kept weaving and bobbing when I tried to shoot it down.

Then, the chopper blew apart, and two jets flew overhead. Harriers! Konoha recently built some AV-B Harriers to fight against enemy choppers, and I'm glad they saved our lives. They protected us as we passed the border, and only when we were well inside the border did they break off. Now to head over to the capital city, Konohagekure Village, where I know everybody else is waiting...
