Negotiations between the empire and Mirkwood123 ended violently with an attack by Crossswordea.

Crossswordea bombed a small city belonging to Mirkwood123 on the border of Crossswordea.

Emperor BKY made this statement to his people:

“This war was a byproduct of Mirkwood123’s attempt to take the UN Delegate job. How on earth can we trust them if they act this way? We must rid the world of them once and for all!”

He also contacted his allies to tell them he was at war.

-:- Azuka – Crossswordea -:-

The emperor just completed his conference with Lord Fawkes, but Fawkes’s stance still seemed to be for a peaceful end to this.

BKY had just called a meeting with his generals and admirals, so he was there in Azuka’s war room.

Four Star Admiral by Four Star Admiral, the room filled quickly. At each end of the table sat a Five Star Flag Officer.

When the room filled, BKY turned on the main display screen and stared the meeting.

“This is the president of Mirkwood123,” BKY said bringing up a somewhat ‘Photoshoped’ picture of the president.

“This is the veq that threatens our plans to unify the world. We can not allow this to be the end of the Crosssword allies, We must act as we have every time before. FOR THE EMPIRE!”

BKY sat back down as the Five Star Admiral waked to the stand.

“Today we conducted a near light speed fly-by on the capital of Mirkwood123. Their weapons are not as primitive as we first thought; however, we still have the upper hand;” admiral Win said. “They seem to have no way to deflect our ion cannons, but their city shields will need to be worked on;” Win said nodding at one of the Emperor’s Praetorian Guards.

“I assume that meant the Tal Shiar,” BKY clarified.

“Yes. I have contacted Starbase 1, they are on Red Alert prepared to lunch all fighters if needed.”

“Our plan is to attack their capital first. Borders are nothing to us at this point.”

A 3D map of Mirkwood123 came onto the screen.

“We will blast them with our ion cannons, then take out their shields with intel, then attack with all arwings.”

“And?” BKY asked.

“And then we move in the army. Hopefully we will also have the support of Lord Fawkes. Any questions?”

No one said anything.

“Execute the plan now, before they can act on us,” BKY ordered.

==From the government offices of Italian Korea==

The Dictator's aide said, "Sir, our ally has just informed us that he is engaging Mirkwood. Shall we contact him of our participation?"

The Dictator, Kim Jong-Paul II, replied, "If you assume something like that again, I'll have your head! I have never directly said that I would participate in a war!" He took a breath. "However, that is exactly what we are going to do. Wire a telegram: we will offer our 9 million standing troops to the war on Crossswordea's side. Also include in the telegram that we will function better if he sends over data and technical specs on his weapon systems so that we can train our troops to be able to use his advanced weapons. That is all."

(OOC: Um, for the sake of realism its not possible for you to have 9 million troops if your nation only has a population of 32 million. You might want to fix that.)

The president summoned his military chiefs into his office and slammed a map of Crossswordea onto his desk. "Secure the borders of Crossswordea and Italian Korea. Send the 1st Armored division to the Crossswordean front and give the support with 2 divisions of Eagle class fighters. Send another armored division to the Italian korean front with support from infantry and air power. Activate the energy shield around all the cities and double the power output of our anti aircraft lasers."
The generals saluted and exited the room. The Presindent picked up the phone and called Sandopolis and Apheli, asking for their assistance.

He then reached under his desk and pressed a concealed button. Within seconds a ver deadly looking man in a black trenchcoat had entered the room, apparently without anyone else noticing.

"Ah, Delta. So nice to see you again. Now, it would be excellent if you could have your men secure all the military buildings across Mirkwood123- we can't afford to be sabotaged from the inside. Also, have several thousandof your men mixed with the regular troops on the battle front. Their presence should have a nicely devastating effect on any offensive by the Crossswordeans of the Italian Koreans."

-:- Tal Shiar Chambers: Azuka – Crossswordea -:-

The room was dark, green walls.

BKY came into the room. “General, how goes the intel OP?”

A shadowy person dress in a uniform with hundreds of gray squares on it came out of no were.

“We have a holdup shouting down their shielding. Their intelligences agency is run by some heathen called Delta.”

“Get on with it,” BKY said as the General tried to talk down Mirkwood123’s intelligences agency.

“Fine. They have upped security around military buildings. But we do not think they are as powerful as us in general.”

“How so?”

“They don’t seem to have any defenses form space, and they think we will attack by land, water, or air.”

“Alright, I have a meeting with admiral Win, so I need to head up to the war room.”

“Understood, we shall win with war; swiftly and silently,” the General diapered.

“Always fun to meet him,” BKY whispered sarcastically.

-:- War Room: Azuka – Crossswordea -:-

Win, some more admirals, and a yeoman were standing around the war map. BKY waked over to them.

“Is everything good on Starbase 1?”

Win looked back. “Yes, yes, emperor.”

“Why do you seem flustered? The Tal Shiar says we have more power.”

“Ion cannon 1 has a plasma coil burnout, it can’t be used.”

The emperor look shocked. “How did this happen?”

“We don’t know, it just happened when we did a test fire on the border.”

“Have the engineers on Starbase 1 fix it.”

“Ok. If the talc Shiar can’t turn off the city shields maybe we can cut power to them,” Win said as she typed on the console. “This is the Mirkwood dam, it sup-plys power to some of their citys.”

“How soon can we blast it with the ion cannon?”

“Now.”

“Do it,” BKY said.

Win typed on the console more.

<Please confirm ion cannon strike>

“Strike authorization Admiral Win, 6647720192.”

<Ion cannon strike confirmed>

The Mirkwood dam came onto the screen, there was a display at the top showing the ion cannon satellite’s poison and charge.

In seconds it was in poison, and the charge was at 100%

“Fire ion cannon!”

Win pushed the red fire button, a bright light filled the screen, and…

General Aelith was the top military offical of Mirkwood and was staring intently at a screen showing a tactical readout of his nation. Suddenly he jerked upwards and a brilliant bolt of energy splashed across the shields above the dam. "Sergeant, activate all nearby Phanton squads! Get them in the air and return fire on that sattelite!" he yelled, dashing across the room to a telephone. He called the president and began reporting. "Mr President, a sattelite that we believed only existd for scientific purposes has opened fire on the dam, If that goes down we'll have to divert power to keep the shields up. Luckily the dam shields are holding. I've activated the Phantoms and am covering their assault with our anti aircraft lasers. It could turn into a dogfight up there if they use their fighters as well."

~Tritower Command~

"Lord Fawkes Serrin. Archangel-class ships have reached the border, awaiting orders. They're requesting permission to launch Strike, Aegis, and Zephyr fighters."

"Granted, engage the enemy by air!" Fawkes orders. The Archangel-class was the top of the line airship and built for rapid invasion and response. Simultaneously, the Aselian army crosses the border into DROM territory.

~Aselian border~

Two Archangel Class (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archangel_class_assault_ship) reach the border and deploy GAT X105 Strike and GAT X303 Aegis mobile weapons and Zephyr fighter-bombers. Admiral Cornelius of the first squadron, commands the lead vessel, "Deimos."

"Looks like one of our allies is targeting that dam. All units converge and engage."

*** The Aselian Border ***
The tank commander watched as dots appeared on his radar screen. He grabbed his radio. "Hostiles at 12:00, give me air support!" he yelled, broadcasting to his forces. Moments later the whine of Eagle fighter-bombers speeding through the skies was heard across the border. The aircraft dropped their payloads on the approaching armored units and explosions flared across the horizon.

"Attack!"
The Mirkwood forces moved forward and gunfire rent the air.


*The Dam*
"Fire!"
Lasers flashed across the sky, incinerating some of the approaching aircraft. Mirkwood fighters fired on the enemy, trying to protect the dam. Above them Phantom space fighters continued their assault on the sattelite.

The Tandu High Council is currently in debate as to which of your nations is more pathetic, however your infighting amuses us and we will not intervene. Our entertainment networks will be broadcasting live, we hope you dont mind.
Tandu High Council.

OOC: mirkwood, with my compulsory military service, i can have every able man in the country in the military.

OOC:
Italian Korea, sorry to sound insulting, but that would be an increadibly stupid thing to do.
It would wreck your economy, your military and your industry.
If all of the men in your country just sort of vanished, there would be massive job openings, which most likely couldnt be filled entirly, so a bunch of buisnessess would fold up.
You could not possibly economically support that many people, unless you issue a rifle to every tenth man and have the other nine act as human shields.
And there would be nobody to make MORE rifles, since everybody would be fighting.
See the sticky threads for more reasons why you can have a %50 military.

(OOC: That's really not possible. Your economy would collapse. If you consider that only men 18-40 are in the army that's only about 20% of the population and only maybe up to 10 percent of those would actually be in the military even with a draft.)

OOC:
We need not care anyway. I sent him the plans for project ‘Achilles’, Aselia too. Check your mall, well i'm sending it now.

The President pressed the button under his desk again and seconds later Delta swept into the room. "Delta, what do we know about our enemies' plans?" he asked. "We captured several of their operatives inside the city, Mr President," the spy replied. "They didn;t give us any information, but we did find this on one of them." Delta handed the president a small sheet of paper.

"The original copy self destructed moments after we got hold of it but we managed to scan its contents before it was destroyed."

The president stared at the paper and looked up at Delta. "These are the plans to oneof their power generators," he said.

'Yes, the generator that gives power to their main communications center. If we destroy it their forces will be severely crippled," Delta replied. "We've already got an agent in there- the plans revealed a lightly guarded entrance that we didn't know existed. With any luck the reactor will be down within an hour."

***Crossswordean reactor***
The agent set the explosive charges and snuck out of the reactor core. He walked nonchalantly out the exit and waited for the explosion to follow.

Above them Phantom space fighters continued their assault on the sattelite.

-:- Azuka -:-

“Win,” the emperor yelled. “Dispatch the arwings, have them take down the Phantoms.”

“This is Fleet Admiral Win, BKY has ordered an immediate scrambling of the arwings.”

{\/} Yes ma’am, arwings sent to intercept. {\/}

-:- The Satellite -:-

The Phantoms were attacking the satellite, it was holding out; but it was not made to be attacked. 18 small fighters came around the side of the ion cannon, starting to fire there green pulse weapons at the Phantoms, flowed by orange torpedoes.

Some torpedoes missed, same with the green pulse weapons, but the ones that did hit did serious damage to the Phantoms, 2 were polling back.

((OOC: You never said how many there were.))

(OOC: Oh, sorry. I'll make it a fair fight- 18 phantoms as well.)
"We've got hostile craft coming in fast!" the fighter commander yelled. He swung his Phantom around and blasted an Arwing out of the sky. He turned and saw a few Phantoms disintegrate as they were hit by the Arwing's fire. He fired a torpedo at the space station and swung back to the dogfight. "Split up! Red group take out the station, Blue Group take out the fighters!"

***Military Command center, capital city of Mirkwood***
"Give our fighters some support!" General Aelith said. The powerful lasers inside the city hummed and fired, trying to hit the nimble Arwings. Most dodged but one went up in a ball of flame. "Keept firing!"

'Yes, the generator that gives power to their main communications center. If we destroy it their forces will be severely crippled," Delta replied. "We've already got an agent in there- the plans revealed a lightly guarded entrance that we didn't know existed. With any luck the reactor will be down within an hour."

***Crossswordean reactor***
The agent set the explosive charges and snuck out of the reactor core. He walked nonchalantly out the exit and waited for the explosion to follow.

“Going some were?” An unknown deep voice said.

“Do you truly think you can just wake in here and do what you are doing?”

“My operatives have already removed the explosives. I think you will be of much use to us. GET HIM!”

5 operatives dressed as ninjas jumped out of the shadows, grabbing the other operative.

“Take him to Romulus.”

-:- Interrogation room - Romulus; the intelligence city -:-

Mirkwood’s operative was strapped into the interrogation chair.

“I am chairman Reik’Krean, you are charged with espionage, the sentence in our empire is worse then if you were to die. We will make your live worse then hell. So, you will no doubt what to help us.”

“I will start by telling you that the document your intel agency “found” was planted by us, why on Romulus would we have plans for one of OUR reactors on one of our operatives?” ((OOC: Sorry Mirkwood, but my intel agency is more for defense then spying, and you handed me the plan thing.))

(OOC: Yeah, I knew you wouldn't let that work. It makes things interesting though. ;) )

The agent stared the Crossswordean in the eyes. "You'll get nothing out of me!" he spat. He shifted his tongue inside his mouth and brushed it against a hidden sensor on one of his back teeth. The sensor clicked and a 5 second countdown began on the explosives concealed on his body. "Unfortunately for you, I was prepared forthis situation."
He closed his eyes and an instant later an expolsion rocked the building, completely destroying the interrogation room.

~Forward Front, Archangel-class Deimos~

X303 Aegis Mobile Suits go into Mobile Armor mode and fire their cannon into the dam. Heavy damage is inflicted. Meanwhile, X105 Strikes bombard the dam with their launcher cannon. Zephyr fighters are assigned to take out any defenses with their dark matter weapons.

The four Archangel-class ships will arrive in less than an hour.

-:- Azuak : war room -:-

The bombing of the dam continued, no one in the room had anything to do but watch.

Then the Five Star General came into the room.

“Emperor, some of the senators think you somewhat… well… umm…”

“Spit it out!” BKY yelled, “This is not a time for loiygaging around.”

The General looked frightened. “The senate has called in a… specialist.”

In the room came as if on cue can a man, dressed in tie-dye, with a peace sign on.

“Who is that?”

“Our… specialist.”

“WHAT THE HELL DO WE NEED A HIPPIE FOR?”

The hippie jumped back about 2 feet.

“The senators think you need to deal with your hostilities.”

“Hostilities?” BKY replied.

The General pointed at the screen with the burning dam on it.

“Ok given, but as I said before we don’t have time for this! Get him out of here,” BKY said drawing his swords.

“Hay man what’s you deal?”

The hippie’s sentience seemed oddly like that of Mirkwood’s president, making madders somewhat worse.

The Imperial Swords of the Cross started to glow in BKY’s hands, most of the time that meant intension.

The hippie steeped back 2 more feet, now almost out the door.

“Fine, in order to keep the empire in one piece I will hear you out, for 2 minuets, but I can not guaranty you head will remain if we speak for longer. WIN, you have the con.” BKY waked over to a seating array near the war room and sat down.

“So what will it take for you to just go away?” BKY asked.

-To be continued-

(Lol! That's hilarious!)
Laser fire flashed one last time as Mirkwood's eagle fighters destroyed the last of the attacking airships. "The dams shielding is going critical- we can't afford to let it take any more damage," General Aelith radioed the pilots from the ground. "We've got 4 Archangel class ships incoming, engage them and halt them at whatever cost. Your squad took heavy losses so I'm sending reinforcements." As he spoke 5 Scorpion tanks outfitted with ground to air artillery missiles entered the dam area.

~DROM Dam Battle Site~

"Heads up, Battleship Deimos, you've got five Scorpions headed your way."

"Acknowledged, Command 1." Admiral Cornelius radios back.

~Aboard the Deimos~

"That shield around the dam is about to collapse from the fire of our mobile suits and Crossswordea's bombardment." Adm. Cornelius observed. "All vessels, ready Lohengrins to fire!"

Demios takes a hit from a scorpion tank, major hull damage, engines at 35%. Other three ships move to protect it. Reactor breach approaching critical.

"Vice Admiral Kepler, you have command." The Deimos rams the shields and fires Lohengrin positron beam cannons at point blank range. Deimos is destroyed.

~Imperial Command~

Generals watch in horror as the heavily damaged Deimos sacrifices itself to take down the dam.

~DROM Dam Battle Site~

Strike (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAT-X105_Strike_Gundam)Mobile Suits rearm with Aile Strike system (Blaster Rifle + Beam Saber). They are tasked with hunting down the Scorpion tank defenses. Their Phase Shift Armor has a limited time but deflects against most projectile weapons.

'The dam is out! Switch to auxilliary power!" General Aelith said. The lights in the war room flickered but stayed on. "Our shields will be less powerful now, but at least we still have a power source. Start our major ground offensive on Aselia."

The president summoned Delta again. "Is the bomb in place?" he asked.

"Yes, it should detonate in 5 minutes or so. It should destroy Aselia's military command center and hopefully buy us some time to repair that dam." As he spoke a nondescripit package hidden in a dark corner of Aselia's command center started ticking as its digital readout counted down the seconds.

"5...4...3...2...1"

~Imperial Headquarters~

A massive explosion tears through three levels of the facility. Communications is knocked out.

"Lord Serrin, enemy infiltration!"

"You think I don't know? Get us to C3, our secondary base!"

~Battlecruiser Phobos~

"Lord Kepler, we've lost contact with command," a soldier reported.

"All right. We'll have to act as if Aselia HQ has been destroyed. Send a message to all the mobile suits and fighters: Our target is the DROM capital!"

The Phobos, Ares, and Poseidon recall all their MS units and fly towards the capital.

~C3 Beta Command Center, Headquarters of Aselia Intelligence Agency - Enigma's Ghosts~

"Major DROM attack on our main line. Armor Division 2 has been routed. Infantry Division 5 requesting reinforcements." Aselia's intelligence leader said to Serrin.

"Send two squadrons of X303 Aegis and four squadrons of X105 Strike to the front line from the capital. Use them to blunt the DROM offensive. Standard infantry doesn't hold a candle to Mobile Suit units. Try to reestablish connection with the squadron 1."

"Yes, it should detonate in 5 minutes or so. It should destroy Aselia's military command center and hopefully buy us some time to repair that dam." As he spoke a nondescripit package hidden in a dark corner of Aselia's command center started ticking as its digital readout counted down the seconds.

"5...4...3...2...1"

OOC: Now, knowing there was a treaty on the way; why do you go and blow up my allies capital? This is not good for you IC.

IC:
“So see man you got to be more understanding of others,” the hippie said to the somewhat agitated emperor.

“I know the senate wants this to end, and I know they paid you to make it end, but I don’t know if it CAN end. I will COM a membership proposal to Mirkwood.”

Into the room ran Fleet Admiral Jakalna Win. ((OOC:I gave my admiral a full name, bad.))

“Sire, Tal Shiar reports an attack on Aselia’s command center!”

BKY glared at the hippie. “Out of Azuka now!” BKY yelled.

The hippie ran faster then the Empire’s arwings out of the room.

“Jakalna, activate the gate way to amaterisue. If we must we can command form there. Also… tell Sybak we need all the data they have.”

“Affirmative.” Win waked down the hall to the central part of Azuka, as BKY ran into the war room.

-:- War room - Azuka -:-

“Computer open an encrypted COM link to Starbase 1,” BKY said entering the room.

<please specify key in bits>

BKY got to the main console. “800 bits.”

<BEEP. Data link established>

“Commander!”

{\/}Oh, emperor, what is it you need?{\/}

“Dispatch the Achilles, and prepare orbital assault mode.”

{\/}I know better then to ask why.{\/}

A view of Starbase 1 came on the screen. The big docking door started to open.

{\/}The Achilles is powering up. We will begin orbital assault mode in 2 minutes{\/}

“Very well. Oh, and keep main security at max, not that the Tal Shiar will miss anything.”

{\/}Starbase 1 out.{\/}

-:- Starbase 1 -:-

The door had fully opened to reveal a large docking bay.

Out of the door came a small, fast, sleek, ship, with the emblem of the empire on it.

-:- Achilles bridge. -:-

“Captain, incoming hall form Azuka.”

“On secondary screen,” the CO more fully described as an admiral replied.

The emperor’s face came on a screen, next to but somewhat smaller then the main one.

[\/]ALL Tal Shiar data has been input into your CON. Attack their intel first, show no mercy. [\/]

“Understood sovereign.”

The ship started to enter the atmosphere.

[\/]BKY out[\/]

The ship turned to the capital of Mirkwood.

“Take all weapons off standby and put them on full, we’re going in!”

"Incoming unidentified enemy craft!" reported a sergeant staring at a computer viewscreen.
"Ready all anti aircraft weapons and fire at will. Activate all squadrons and have them intercept. WE don't know what this thing is, we should be cautious." General Aelith ordered.
Suddenly the president of Mirkwood entered the war room.

"Consider that order canceled, soldier," he said. He turned to General Aelith. "This war has gone on long enough. Fire an e-bomb at that craft and transfer all power to the phase shielding."

"But Mr President, an e bomb deactivates all electrical systems within a huge radius. The ship will be deactivated but so will the city's laser defense system and the weapons of our tanks on the ground," the general protested.

"Yes, but our shields will stay up- phase shielding runs independent of electrical power. Enough blood has been spilled in this war. Deactivate that craft and get me on the phone with the Emperor of Crossswordea," said the president.

OOC: EMP? I think of everything, in the plans I sent to my allies on this there was anti-EMP shielding on the hull. At best, you can take out it’s warp drive and main phaser. But by all means try.

IC:

-:- Achilles bridge. -:-

The Achilles came into the city range but outside of the shields.

The COM computer made an odd sound. “In coming hall form Romulus.”

“On screen!” The admiral yelled.

[\/] General Yotona Rekep here. We have reason to believe that Mirkwood123 has an EMP bomb and my use it on you. [\/]

“We have the appropriate shielding. Engineering keep hull-planting on full!”

[\/] Good, as we are attempting to per sway their president to use it. If they wipeout their own weapons, but don’t take into account ours, they WILL fall to use. [\/]

“We need not know the plans of the Tal Shiar, thank you for the heads up. Achilles out!”

“Starting attack run on Mirkwood123, no, wait, BKY just COMed me, “Go for the capital building” he says,” the tactical officer stated.

“Very well Emperor, attack the capital!”

-:- Starbase 1 -:-

The base started to move over the capital of Mirkwood123, aiming it’s ion cannon at the capital. The ion cannon on Starbase 1 was the first, and best ion cannon ever made by Crossseordea. The power to wipe an entire nation off the map, but now they only needed 1 city.

-:- Starbase 1 – OPS module -:-

“Battle mode online. Anti-EMP shielding online, ion cannon online, phasers online, we are good to go!”

The commander of the base sat in the center of the room, in front of the view screen. “Good, but make sure you have the cannon set to min.” the commander joked.

(OOC: It's not EMP, its a different technology. It surrounds the area in a huge semisphere of invisible shielding that cuts short any electrical impulses that occur inside it. It won't stop an ion cannon blast, but it will lower its power output considerably and weaken it.)

The president picked up the phone and dialed the emperor's number. "Your excellency, I don't have mucn time to talk. Enough people have died in this war- do you want more deaths to be on you rhands? I propose a cease fire be enacted so that we can discuss peace terms, otherwise many more civilians and soldiers on both sides will die. What do you say?"

~C3 Command Center~

"Lead Archangel reports a Crossswordian ship approaching the enemy capital."

"Tell the fleet and army to hold position. Have the Lohengrins locked on the capital center. Recall all mobile suits and rearm them for urban warfare." Serrin commanded. "Transmit this message to DROM HQ."

Lay down your arms. Our Archangels have positron beam cannons locked on your capital. Their yield is approximately the power of a thermonuclear blast.

"Lord Serrin, we've intercepted a DROM transmission to Crossswordea requesting a ceasefire."

~Meanwhile at our border where the DROM soldiers have engaged the enemy for the last 48 hours~

Mobile Suits (Strikes and Aegis) land at the head of the Aselian army. They take up defensive positions.

The president watched a display with satisfaction as his infantry and armored units carved a path through the Aselian defences. He picked up the phone and called the leader of Aselia.

"I've called to request a ceasefire. Any energy blast that you fire- such as from your positron cannon- will do damage, but due to the e-bomb we detonated any shots will be much less powerful. Even if you completely destroy our capital our forces are approaching your large cities and the devastation to your nation would be large no matter what the outcome of this war. I do not want this conflict to cause any more death- let us both cease hostilities and negotiate peace terms."

OOC: Not to should like I always do but. The war is 2 VS 1, how can you have the upper hand at every step?

The president picked up the phone and dialed the emperor's number. "Your excellency, I don't have mucn time to talk. Enough people have died in this war- do you want more deaths to be on you rhands? I propose a cease fire be enacted so that we can discuss peace terms, otherwise many more civilians and soldiers on both sides will die. What do you say?"

IC:

<Tunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn> Was all that came out of the other end. <We are sorry this number is no longer in service.>

Apparently BKY was call screening. Or maybe Azuka just didn’t have a phone.

OOC: We have sub-space video phones. Hence there is no analog phone in Azuka.

(OOC: Sorry, I didn't mean to come off that way. I'd launched an offensive against Aselia and that's pretty much theonly part of the war that Mirwood is winning. You've been attacking my capital for a while and I havne't even set foot in your territory. And about the phone thing- just respond as if I sent a sub space transmission, I didn't know you don't have phones.

Again, sorry if I godmodded slightly. But then again, both of you magically have super powered uber weapons which can destroy my cities in a single shot, which isn't really fair either.)

And about the phone thing- just respond as if I sent a sub space transmission, I didn't know you don't have phones.

OOC:It just seemed that for 2 to 1 it was very even. You do have a bigger army then me. But my army mostly controls things like ion cannons, so there is not need to have a bigger one. :)

Again, sorry if I godmodded slightly. But then again, both of you magically have super powered uber weapons which can destroy my cities in a single shot, which isn't really fair either.)

The small ion cannons don’t have that power, if anything they can take out one big building. As for the Starbase, it can only fire once every 10 minutes, and it may not be as powerful as we let on.

My new ship is not that powerful at all. It’s an arwing X 3 at best.

On the phone; BKY had to run out of Azuka (the capital… well city) to Crossswordea to call you. That’s why he was even more mad. As far as I know only my allies have sub-space video phones.

Archangels are much less powerful than Arwings. Just before they entered ORB for repairs, the Archangel was heavily damaged by just a few Mobile Suits (Duel, Buster, Aegis, Blitz).

I propose unilateral withdrawl from DROM territory and restoration of all borders. Furthermore, if DROM wishes to join the Crossswordean Alliance, Aselia will support it.

The President of Mirkwood123 thanks the ruler of Aselia for his gracious offer, and further offers to send aid workers to the Aselian capital to help out people hurt in the strike on the government command center.

The president of the DROM was mad that he had no way to contact Azuka, but then into the room ran one of his engineers.

“Sir we have an incoming call form Crossswordea, on our… TV.”

The engineer turned on the TV in the office.

Emperor BKY was on it. “I will give your dumb-a** engineers 1 hr to respond, after that I fire my ion cannon at your capital.” It seemed once more BKY hand was being bent by the senate.

(Hey, you never said you didn't have phones. If it matters that much you should have said before hand.)

The president activated his television wave transmitter and connected to Crossswordea. "Sorry for the technical mishap, I'm going to have to fire a few engineers after this call. I called to propose a cease fire so that we can discuss peace terms. Aselia has already shown interest in this deal."

(OOC: That call came in on satellite TV, using Starbase 1 to change the signal into TV form sub-space radio. You can reply using a TV station.)

(Ok, I edited it. So can you have the emperor respond now please?)

As a show of good faith, Aselia withdraws all its ground soldiers behind our border and the three Archangels will also return to their base at our capital.

(Scratch unilateral in my last post, I meant multilateral as in all sides withdraw. I messed up my diplomacy lingo.)

OOC: Okay, I just didn’t want it to come too easy. ;)

[ And I will need to have my engineers put a phone in Azuka. ] In the background was Win, clearly displeased with the last statement. Only reason there was no phone is Azuka was because the empire didn’t have a powerful enough army to attack ALL the nations in the world.

[ As far as a non-aggression pact; I see no way that it will help our current situation. We in the Crosssword Empire believe it is best to settle deputes in battle, rather then just be mad. ]

[ However; I do not wish to destroy a nation, at lest not today. ] BKY thought for a second. [ Whatever end there is to this can only be accomplished in my capital, Azuka. I know you must think that I want you there only to assassinate you; but if you can not trust me with your life, then there is no need for a pact of any type. ]

[ Even if we have one of the more underhanded intel agencies on earth, we still have honor, that is the reason we have been us for so long. If you want peace, come to Azuka, there is the only end to this war; violent or passive, we must do it face to face. ]

The President responded to Aselia's actions. "The people of Mirkwood thank you for your reasonableness. We have also withdrawn all ground troops and armored units, and with your permission we will begin sending in aid workers to your capital. Our medical technology is some of the most advanced in the world and we hope you find it useful."

He turned and sent another transmission to Crossswordea. "That is okay with me- peace is more valuble to me than my own security." He boarded his personal airship and took off for Crossswordea. He landed in the capital's airfield and walked off the ship, an honor guard of 10 elite soldiers on either side of him. They marched in step, their weapons unloaded and in their sheaths. The personal shield projector on his belt was his only protection, and that wouldn't last long against anything excapt small arms fire.

The president and his guards walked down the main street of Crossswordea, the city represented every culture on earth. At the end of the street was an over the top bridge.

“This must be the famed Azuka Bridge,” one of the Mirkwood guards said. “Form what I read it protects Azuka.”

When they got to the other side there was a VERY big gate, at witch there were 2 guards with swords.

“You must be the president of Mirkwood,” one of them said. “They may not bring the guns into Azuka, the only weapons that may be used here are swords,” he said in a cold way to the president. “You may keep the shield grid emitter however.”

Aselia accepts the DROM offer of aid with open arms and great gratitude.

We are also sending our Imperial Chief Diplomat to Crossswordea as our representative for negotiations with DROM. Our Archangels arrive safely at headquarters, but remain on battle-ready status. Our soldiers continue to pull back to pre-battle defense positions.

The presidetn nodded to his guard and they lowered their battle rifles to the ground in front of them He turned to the Crossswordean guard and said "I need to meet with emperor BKY- if you could alert him to my presence I would be most thankful."

The Azuka guard nodded. “BKY has been waiting in the imperial palace.”

The guard raised the gate. “Good luck,” he whispered.

The president and his guards waked though the gate. It was made up of 2 parts; the first a stainless steel grate, the seconded a solid plated sliding door with a blue tint. Between the 2 gates was a scanner array.

On the other side of the door was a city; like non of them had ever seen before. Water, lots of water. A bridge went strait form the gate over the shallow poll of water. The bridge was made out of a blue steel, the same the door was made of.

At the end of the bridge were 2 big buildings, there were sign post on the walk way that said what they were for. One said “Senate chambers,” the other said “Imperial research institute”.

They continued down the rood, crossing a small bridge, at the end of witch was a set of buildings. One was marked in a odd language, the other was marked “diplomatic ministry”.

At the end of the set of building was one more; very big, and space age looking. This one had no sign; but on the ground was a gigantic symbol of the Crosssword Empire. There was no doubt this was it.

The group made there way inside, up a flight of stares, into a large room. On the wall was the symbol of the Empire; on the ground was the emblem of Azuka. At the back of the room were 2 big doors.

“That must be the office of the emperor!” Said one of the guards.

They opened the door and walked inside.

-:- Core of the empire/office of the emperor – Azuka -:-

In the room at a table sat the emperor, BKY.

“Didn’t take you that long to get here,” he said.

“Your guards can take a set over there,” he said pointing at a set of nice looking chars in the back of the room.

The guards were not sure what to do, considering that BKY had 2 swords on his belt.

The President motioned his guards to take a seat. "No sword can harm me while my shiled projector is on- only something energy based, a high speed projectile, or an explosion could damage the shield. Besides, he's had plenty of opportunity to attack me if he wanted to- I don't think that's why he brough me here," he thought.

He took the seat opposite Emperor BKY. "Emperor, I have come to negotiate a peace agreement. I am open to hearing anything you may suggest, and with luck we can resolve this war quickly. What did you have in mind for a treaty?" he asked.

BKY took a sip of his tea. “Crosssword culture dictates we may have I fight to the death to resolve a war, but I don’t think it will come to that. It would be unlike us to fight with someone so untrained in the mater.” BKY took one more sip; as if he just said the weather was nice.

“Here are the options to end the war: your empire joins my empire, we the crossword empire completely excommunicates you and your nation, we have a fight to the death, or you propose something bettor.”

"If we are untrained in battle you're a whole lot worse when it comes to negotiation, Emperor. My idea would be an immediate halt to hostilities and withdrawing all troops to pre-war borders. If you like I couls also send some aid workers to help fix anny damage the war may have caused to your land. But let me make one thing clear- Mirkwood will never be a colony of some other nation."

OOC: And I am the one that’s bad at negotiations?

IC:

The emperor stood up. “We do not fix things we work hard to break. If you wish for aid contact the UN. And never insult my negotiation skills; I have more in my little finger then you have in your entire capital!”

“We will not withdraw until we have a signed treaty form you to us, but we have nothing to gain form a treaty with you; you have proven that you can not be trusted before, why should we trust you will not just attack our Starbase once I have done so?.”

(OOC: Hey, the president isn't going to take you calling his military insignificant. And you misread my post- I said that I would be willing to send aid workers to you, not the other way around.)

"May I remind you that you are the one who started this war? All I want is a simple peace treaty, and I will stick to my word if you stick to yours," the president replied cooly. "And I think you misheard me- I offered to send aid workers to help you, as a token of my good faith."

OOC: I did misread it; sorry. I do not need aid, other then Romulus, i don't know of anything you did to me. When did i call his military insignificant?

“I see. We need no aid; I only know of damage to Romulus, and we can handle that, there is nothing important there.”

“Let me get my scribe.” BKY waked out of the room.

A flue seconds passed and the emperor came back with a scribe trailing behind him.

“This is one of my imperial scribes, he can right up the treaty for us.”

The scribe took out a small computer, made into a handheld padd.

“All terms are standard?” The scribe asked.

“Yes, make us up a standard Crosssword peace treaty.”

“One second.”

(OOC: I need at lest an hr to make the draft treaty.)

“Here it is,” the scribe said sending the data to the main computer. It displayed on the screen in the room.

2.No nation my attempt to take any research data of the other, if not specifically consented to.

3.Any attempts by Mirkwood123 to break there treaty with Aselia will make this treaty void also.

The president nodded. "For both our nation's interests, it might be a good idea to add destriction of space station and sattelites as violations of the treaty; otherwise, that treaty seems very fair. On behalf of the Mirkwood people, I thank you, Emperor."

OOC: I am assuming you meant destruction. (I never seen that word before; closest thing was Destruction.)

IC:

“Destruction… of our world’s one and only defense form space, our jumping off point to new worlds, the thing my nation was worked for the past 300 years to construct? To do that would not be to help your nation; but to condemn every other. Paragraph 1 applies to anything damaging anything of yours, including space stations.”

(>,> <,< Sorry about the typo. I meant destruction.)

"Excellent. I think we are at an agreement then," said the president as he signed the treaty.

OOC: Noprob :)

IC:
“Using the powers of my ancestors, and that which is granted upon me by the imperial senate, let this be etched into the empire!” BKY said opening a box on the table. He got out of it a small sicker and placed it on the treaty, then on the seal he imprinted “Azuka” with a pen and signed the treaty on the line.

BKY gestured to the scribe to sign it also.
