Vigoor has fallen! Rebels sieze Capital.[RP]

12-04-2004, 01:36
VNN (Vigoor National News) abruptly flashes on all Channels on every TV across the nation.

"Today the Rebels lead by Nero Belisarius have seized the Capital of Virgoor, Tairon. Nearby, the Rebel Army has also captured Large Cities such as Zarkhan.

Just hours ago, the Rebels barged in the Imperial Palace and "arrested" the Holy Vigooran Emperor and his family.

The Emperor and his family still in custody do not yet know their fate. However, all captured Soldiers in the Nation have been rallied in The Military Gate in Zarkhan.

A general in The Rebel Army had these words to say:

"The Soldiers of Vigoor's Military will have two choices. To A) Swear Allegiance to Nero Belisarius the soon to be Emperor or to B) Face instant execution."

Within Hours, Nero Belisarius will take stage and have Vigoor's remaining Military swear allegiance.

So far, the people in Zarkhan and Tairon have mixed feelings. Half the people in these two cities are running in the street in Joy and the other half are barricaded in their homes, living in absolute fear of the violence running rampant in the street and of Nero Belisarius.

Right now, we have a citizen who is willing to speak out against Nero's rebels.

Mrs. Veron, how do you feel?

"This is absolutely crazy! Don't people realize that peace and freedom in Vigoor is comming to an end? Nero is a complete Fascist who wants to make the state stronger, even if it means whiping out half of hummanity in the process!"

*Shots are fired in the backround*

Oh dear, there seems to be a gunfight between the Rebels and some citizens down the street.

This is Chad Albright with VN..."

*connection is broken*

"Chad? Chad?!"

"This isn't go..."

*A technical Difficulty message appears on the TV Screen*

"Hmm.. more civil war..."
"Sorry, Comrade Connolly, it seems that's all there is anymore."
"Yes, so what exactly do these rebels want?"
"Fascism."
"God damnit! Why does the world go for Fascism! I have had enought of Fascism!"
"Your orders comrade Premier?"
"General Jeremy Cross, earn your pay. Send aid to their government, even if it is a theocracy..."
"Yes sir."

* * *

some days later later...

Several Naval ships flying the flag of the rebels landed. Jeremy Cross exited the first ship. Soldiers followed. Soldiers and Tanks.

"Who the hell are you?" Some Rebel official said, adressing the General.
"Liberators." Cross answered, men had already surrounded the rebel.

Any rebel soldier in sight was taken prisoner, and the Red Guard soon mobilized.

The following was broadcast throughout New Vigoor:

"Citizens and Soldiers loyal to the true Vigoorian Emperor, I urge you not to side with these Fascists! The Red Guard has been sent to aid you. We are an elite fighting force, sent here to aid loyalist troops. If you are a soldier or general of the loyalists fight on."

[Later on that day...]

Nero Belisarius takes the stand in the Military gate. VNN Cameras are everywhere awaiting for Nero's speech.

"Soldiers of Vigoor! I salute you. Even though your Emperor continues to embarrass this already humiliated country you still show loyalty to Julious. That takes immense courage.

However, the country's fate lays in my hands. Yes, some people call me a Fascist, Psychotic, or even the Devil Incarnate. I wonder "Why?" Is what I want to do really evil? Is trying to help rebuild this once glorious Nation back to power such an evil task?

People, we will in a nation where the majority of kids are no longer in school but in gangs, robbing an elderly lady so they can support their parents which can no longer find a job due to corrupt employers.

We live in a nation where Police who do not earn a decent pay have to resort to stealing from thieves they are arresting and sometimes even rob the commoner walking down the street.

A couple of weeks ago when I was in the city of Zadab, I saw a young women, a prostitute. I asked her, "Who old are you?" she replied "I am only 15 Yrs Old." I asked her, why do you do this to yourself, why are you not in school? The words which she told me haunted me for nights to come. She said "School doesn't pay the bills. My Father is sick and my mother cannot find work."

Men and Women of Vigoor's Military, this is not acceptable. 75% of the population live in poverty. This is an actual fact. Another frightening fact is that 52% of kids have dropped out of school and are either selling drugs or even resorting to prostitution so they can help their parents pay bills.

And where was Emperor Julious Valentine during all this? I'll tell you. He was sitting in his palace stuffing his fat face!

I formed a Revolutionary Army to change all of this. And I get called a Fascist?

Men and Women of Vigoor's armed forces, Men and Women of Vigoor. Do not be afraid. I've come to help, to help restore this once glorious nation back to Power.

Fight against these so called "Liberators" from Halland. Fight for a New Vigoor, or embrace these "Liberators" who want you all to return to the horrible lives you lead."

As Nero Steps down from the stand, a soldier stands up.

"HAIL THE NEW EMPEROR, HAIL EMPEROR NERO BELISARIUS!"

As the soldier finishes yelling, many more soldiers stand up and yell the same thing.

An Evil Smile forms on Nero's face.

"VNN is sorry to interupt scheduled programming."

"Hello, this is Charles Albright."

"Quite a scare you gave us, Charles"

"Sorry Melissa"

"I am standing outside of The Military Gate in Zarkhan where Rebel soldiers are doing the absolute opposite thing expected. After Nero's speech, citizen revolts have calmed and thus, the bloodshed has mimized.

Nero said these exact words to his Army:

"Give the people food and water, I don't care where you get. Emperor Valentine have starved these people long enough. Establish Martial law. I have some Diplomatic crisis to be taken care of. Hopefully then I can claim the crown."

Since those words, The Rebel Army have been most benevolent to the population.

The soldiers which were starved and on the brink of dying have been given food. One can say that that is only because they have sworn allegiance to Nero.

Right now the time is 6:58 PM. One of the Rebel commanders said that Nero has ordered Martial Law. I have been told to inform you that anyone outside after 8:00 PM will be arrested and taken to the nearby Jail, Hudley Correction Facility.

This is Charles Albright reporting from VNN."

As the streets are empty due to the Curfew, Soldiers of the Rebel Army are patrolling the streets.

[Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooom]

A F-4M escorted by an F-14 flies overhead and bombs VNN in Tairon. Because the rebel army have not utilized all units in the Military Gate, the bomber is successful.

[Alarm is going off on every corner of every street in Tairn and Zarkhan]

"Call Nero! We don't know who the hell is hitting us and why! Could it be Loyalists from Emperor Valentine?!"

"I dunno si..."

"That's the goddamned reason you fool! Call the Emperor!

Also my race is skaven for those of you who play warhammer you already know, but if you don't they are a sub-terranean race, take quasimodo, replace face with largeer rat head add tail and fur.Vola a skaven.
IC:The black-clad assassin and the team of gutter runners were preparing to climb out of the sewer when they heard a faint sound of a patrol. The assassin's superior senses heard they were walking in the direction of the manhole in the dark alley of the hood.

As soon as the footsteps quieted from walking away, the team was out quicley. Immediatly taking out the lights caused little noise, but the noise of lights breaking was enough to alert the 3 patrol men.

Skritt saw the men fumbling with (insert lighting mechanism here). Before they were done the skaven had scrambled into an abandoned apartment before one of them had raised their heads. Skritt studied their movements, it was sloppy and paniced. Noticing that the left soldier failed to cover his side the team assembled and just like shadows made there way down.

By now the soldiers had reached the light post and were looking around in all directions searching for the cause of this annoyance. Skritt heard something about "loyalists", anticipating this move of watching Skritt left one of the ten gutter runners in the building to cause a distraction in the vicinity. The gutter runner saw the soldiers stop and retrieved a glass bottle from the ground, hefting it he threw it a good distance hitting a building opposite of the team.

Immediatley the patrol looked to the general direction of the noise. This was all Skritt and his team needed, he heard "Any body there?", he was fast enough that the closest man's throat was slit, letting out a gurgiling sound before the speaker was done. Both patrol men whipped around, only to be impaled in the gut with poisoned knives. Skritt proceded to cut upwards till he hit the top of the rib-cage. The moment afterwards were filled with sickening sound of the trio being skinned. Skritt smiled at his handi-work, the next patrol would find three skins adornng the wall and three skinned bodies hanging from a light with a broken bulb......

Soldiers left from Valentine's Army started to get stronger. There were a good 2,000 Soldiers physically well to fight. However, only 200 Soldiers were actually able to take a gun and fight. The remaining 1,800 Soldiers wouldn't see action now, nor would they be able months from now.

The 200 Soldiers formally of Valentine's Army were out of the barracks in The Military Gate in Tairon.

They were ready to prove their allegiance to Nero.

"I hope I'm not doing all of this for nothing." Replied of of the soldiers.

"Trust me, you're not. You're fighting for a New Vigoor." Replied a soldier from the Revolutionary Army.

"I was a commander here at this base, here, take this key. It'll open the underground passage where there is a massive elevator with about 20 - 30 Fighter Air Craft. Watch out though, there is limited fuel. You'll have neough for 10 Aircraft.

"Why?"

"Well, one of the reasons your Revolutionary Army was successful is because you destroyed the Fuel Supply in Zadab. You'll find no more fuel unless you bring it in from Zadab. Even then, it'll take a good 4 days which may be too late."

"Thanks for the information, Nero will be thankful for your help."

"What about the Citizens supporting the revolution? Since Nero's speech, there has been an insurrgence of Citizens supporting the revolution. Will you give them arms?"

"Arm them with what? We are low on ammunition and weapons."

"I see, well I'm off"
12-04-2004, 04:22
[ssssssssssssooooooooooornch]

"Christ."

"Yes, what pieces of shit."

"These planes are easily over 10 Yrs old! Did Valentine not fund the Military at all?"

"Conner, don't be suprised."

"Well then, shall we take these ancient planes into the sky? We can't afford another attack like what happened at the VNN studio."

"Do we know who attacked us?"

"Don't know, Conner. We don't have anyone to investigate and our General is panicing since Nero still hasn't contacted him."

"Where could he be?"

"Who the hell knows. Do you know how to fly these pieces of shit?"

"Yes."

"Well, then. Lets get some men who can fly. Also, call the General. Seems there will be enough fuel to fill 10 planes up and a good amount of these Anti Aircraft Missle Launchers."

"The hell?!"

"We're under att...ugh!"

The Revolutionary Soldier plops to the ground.

"It's a small faction of Valentine Loyalists! But how'd they get weapons?"

"Retreat back, retreat back!"

The Patrolling Revolutionary Soldiers run into the allies of the city of Tairon.

"Everyone drop back!"

From the distance you can see another patrolling group of Revolutionary Soldiers wearing gasmasks.

[Thümp]

"We get them?"

"Seems so, they're choking. Serves them right, why the hell they do that for? Seems we still have some uprising problems."

"Wait, there's a boy there still alive."

[Two soldiers wearing a Gas Mask walks to the boy half way dying]

"Where you come from? Where did you get weapons? Are there more of you?"

"Speak up now, goddamnit. I wont hesitate to shoot you dead on this street."

Quickly they surrounded the city. (i think u said most rebels were in the millitary gate, but of course feel free to have resistance.)

Having seen the atrocities committed by the forces of Nero against loyalists, the 4ID has new orders to assist the Red Guard in the attack on the capital. The task force quickly makes their way towards Tairon and after a few hours driving at 80 MPH in the Strykers, reach the outskirts of the city.

"All units, our mission is to support Hallad and federal forces against the Fascist rebellion.

The 4ID will conduct operations against insurgent forces in concert with Red and Valentine troops. After the perimeter has been breached, we will head towards OBJECTIVE CAESAR, as highlighted on your HUD GPS. From there, we will apprehend or eliminate the leaders of the rebels and then transfer them or their remains to loyalists.

Standard Rules of Engagement are in effect, although the use of fragmentation grenades in the city has been banned due to the large civilian population. To compensate, all troops have four extra flashbang grenades. Also, Javelin missiles are to be used strictly at enemy aircraft. Collateral damage must be minimized at any cost." said Maj. General Davis Benedie, issuing orders to the soldiers.

The troops continue inexorably towards the heart of the resistance...

"Go ahead!" replied a private, stepping out of the circle. "Name of the game is poker. Bet whatever you want, there's nothing else to do besides shoot patterns into the city walls." he continued.

"Right."

"Hey, as long as a Commissar doesn;t see us."

A few of the men snickered.

"Feh. We're just betting around 5 to 10 bucks, but Bill over there," pointed a Sergeant at a soldier sitting at the machine gun mount of a Stryker, "he lost his pants playing strip poker against some female medics. So he's just hiding in the .50 cal, hoping no one notices until he can win his pants back."

Two of them men were laughing, others kept it to themselves.

"Well, then. I'll put in 5 Utopes."

"We're heading back. Before one of the Commissars come looking for us." One of the others said, getting up to leave with the rest.

"See you guys later." He waved to them. "So, back to the game. Been along time since I gambled. By the way, me names John. Corporal Jonathon Connolly."

"Good to meet you John. Name's Albert." replied the sergeant in charge of the small group. He then pointed to the other soldiers in the small circle of players. "That's Pvts. Vincent, Gregory, Peter, and Charlie. So, when are you guys attacking? Benedie won't start the battle until the rebels or the civilians leave..." Sgt. Albert then looked at his hand disgustedly. "I fold."

"Our attack started hours ago. Well, artillery bombardment did. Apparently there hasn't been any word from that 'Nero' guy. General Cross tried to get him to let civilians out of the city. No word, but anywho." He dropped two cards. "I'll take two."
