Marabal Capital Palace; Caharic, Marabal

A man draped in black robes was dragged across the floor. An Armed guard on either side supported him. Heavy gold amulets hung around his neck, and he wore a tall, pillar like hat.

They pulled him up to a door and knocked on it. “Come in,” a voice from inside called out. The two guards opened the oak doors and threw the man to the ground. “Sir, this man was caught praying to demons in an apartment with four others. They belong to a cult, and he’s there leader.” The President turned to face him. He looked the man over and spat at him. “I am sick of it. Everyday some maniac makes up a god and worships it. But not anymore.” He turned to the guard.

“Tell the Prime Minister that from this day forth, Marabal shall have but one religion. Any Person caught practicing any other religion shall be killed. I want all other places of worship burned tomorrow morning and its inhabitants shot. I shall never have Kaligam’s Holy name insulted again.

“Yes sir,” the guard said picking up the cultist. “Oh, and as for those cult members, have them executed in public tomorrow morning.” “Very well,” said the guard, turning to leave.

Caharic, Marabal 9:04 a.m.

Five men whose faces were covered by hoods walked up to a platform which had been resurrected over night. On top the platform stood five massive wood posts, each with a noose equip to it. They were to be hung.
Being hung was the most shameful form of punishment in Marabal. It meant you were to despicable to have a bullet or guillotine used on you. One by one, the noose was fitted and pulled tight around each of the men. The executioner went over to a lever on the side of the platform. He looked out on the massive crowd of 500 people.

“This is for all those who dare practice any religion we disapprove of,” he pulled the lever and the trap door beneath each post fell. The captives feet dropped and the began to squirm. Ones head fell back and he let out a howl before his toes pointed downwards. One by one the others hearts slowed and there breath wafted away.

MNN (Marabal National News Network)


Hi, I’m Fred Bellow, and this is MNN, Marabal national news network, exactly one hour ago, five cultists were hung in the center of Caharic. They were caught worshipping demons in an apartment Wednesday, and were killed for their crimes. With there death also came a new law.
As of today, all religions besides Kersoisim have been banned nation wide. So far seventeen places of worship not honoring Kersoisim have been raided. The inhabitants were all shot to death mercilessly, and the buildings were soaked in oil and burned. This has stirred up much anger and officials are expecting riots. The total death count is currently 1,251.

Korop, Marabal: 3:52

A band of men walked down the street. The held flags and Montvale cocktails in there arms. The shouted angrily and threw rocks at windows.
Two hummers drove up, blocking there path. 14 Soldiers leaped out, each holding an AK-74. They aliened themselves in a row and opened fire on the crowd. The crowd began to break as the men leading it fell dead. They began to chasing after the members of the protest, killing everyone they caught. The left the bloody corpses in the road and drove off as a couple dogs ran up and began to feast on the bodies

Guess what.....BUMP!

ooc> mind if i step in?

ic> From the crowd a roar belowed through the air as the rear of a nearby delivery vehicle tore open. Civilians everywhere began screaming and running wailing cries of "DEAMON!" as the gatherd croud stampeded.

From the rear of the now torn asunder vehicle emerged a 9ft tall creature glowing in red essence a in its right hand shimmerd as light reflected off the ice it appeared to be made of.
Wings unfurled from behind the creature as it roared in anger at the attempted destuction of its worshippers. Looking at the hanging bodies it inahled a deep breath before launching out 5 spinning ice shirikens at the ropes each one severing a rope dropping the cultists to the ground where they fell into a heap.
As the square began to clear of civilians all screaming in terror the deamon began walking towards the cultists slicing through a running child - as the blade struck the child fell into peices of ice that shatterd as they hit the floor.

A Sumixian tourist who had watched the hangings ducked into an alley, trying to escape the riots and overzealous soldiers. She continued down the alley, when a man stepped in front of her.
"Don't even think about yelling for help, babe." said the man. He stepped forward and moved to push her down, but a sudden piercing pain in his groin stopped him. He grabbed the crossbow bolt sticking in his crotch and fell back, moaning in pain. At least, she hoped those were pain moans.
She put her crossbow back into her coat and reached into her pocket, and pulled out a small video/computer/phone.
"This is Hannah." she said. "No, the vacation didn't go as planned at all." she said. "In fact, it might be hard to leave for a while." A burst of automatic rifle fire sounded. "The government here really needs to be saved from itself, I think."

Alex put down his, and walked out from his office and pressed a button on the wall.
"We need a national vote for war." said Alex. "Call the senate together."

EDIT: Hannah and Alec are the two 'presidents' of Sumixia.

A Marabalian Soilder ran into an alleyway where a dead body lay. He looked up to see a woman jolting behind a corner. He pulled out a RO2 pistol and gave chase.

He turned and began to fire at the woman, striking several garbage cans and cardboard boxes with stray shots. The woman dashed around a corner as he reloaded his gun. He turned around as a crossbow arrow went throught his face, cracking his skull instantly, sending blood everywere.

A nearby man quickly ran, being sure to take a picture of the lady with a camera he had been carrying to record the carnage of the massive religion change.

POST IGNORED

A man with a cross hung around his neck walked down the street. He paid no mind as people nearby avoided him. Suddenly a gunshot rang out and the man's heart, which housed a lead bullet, began to gush blood onto his brillant purple robes. A Soldier holding a smoking rifle watched with an evil smile of triumph on his face.

you people have no imagination - may i suggest you actually tital this rp - somthing like - crap modern day rp

May I suggest you act realistically and leave before we declare war on you?

POST IGNORED

OOC: Good. I was kind of worried.

IC: Hannah checked the corssbow. Her time in the army had served her well.

Meanwhile, Alec ate a veggie burger as he waited for the vote to end. It was practically a landslide to go rescue Hannah, so he figured he wouldn't send in the whole army, but a couple units. He checked a roster on his monitor, and chose three inactive units. He also requistioned three transport helicoptors. He didn't know enough about Marabal, he thought. He didn't know what sort of air defense they had, but it was a risk he had to take. Finally, the votes stopped coming in. He checked his screen. 87% wanted to go to war.

He pressed his screen a couple times. Soon, those units would recieve the activation order. He only hoped Hannah would survive till then.

OOC: Ok, cool. I sent you a telegram about going to war a while ago, but we can change around whats in it.

Bump

Alex put down his, and walked out from his office and pressed a button on the wall.
"We need a national vote for war." said Alex. "Call the senate together."

EDIT: Hannah and Alec are the two 'presidents' of Sumixia.

War, eh? Well, I have this to say:

IC: Emperor Lucius had called for a briefing about every hour since the outbreak of riots. The news of a pending war intrigued him.
"Sir, they have outlawed all religions!" Protested one of Lucius's advisors.

"Well, in our own land, we don't exactly smile upon other religions than Kriemlinism," responded Lucius. "And nevertheless, Marabal is our ally, and a war declared upon them is a war declared upon us all in Comatica."

I mean, if you want me to send help, then I will.

OCC: So Sumixia, are we gonna kill each other or what?

I mean, if you want me to send help, then I will.

Sounds good, Sumixia, you can round up some allies if you want....

Sounds good

Sure diddley-ure. I first have to know how much Sumixia is sending, so I can coordinate my payload with his, and his allies.

Okay. I'll try to get some people together.

I'm thinking, since my army is really defensive, is if my troops come in, rescue Hannah, (and kill loads of people in the process) and you invade. Does that sound like a plan?

Okay. I'll try to get some people together.

Only if I get to help with the invasion :p

Don't worry, I won't send so much that your nation collapses.

Yeah I'll send a telegram.

So we can keep this on the first page, I think I'll BUMP it....

Leave the bumping to me....BUMP!

OOC: Alright. Allies right now...

Not so much. I'll see if I can get some at the eleventh hour. It'll be much more dramatic that way anyway. There's only 30 guys going to the city, but they excel in close ranged combat.


IC: Three black helicoptors flew quickly towards the riotous city. The flew in low, and ten men jumped out of each one. The ran towards a roadblock. Soldiers yelled at them to stop, and then raised their weapons. Two died quickly, but another got off three shots. Only one Sumixian soldier fell, and a crossbow bolt finished off the other. The Sumixians walked to the bodies and took the bolts out of the bodies. They all looked at small screens and conferred for a moment. They began moving through the city, trying to avoid rioters and soldiers, locking in on Hannah's position.

OOC: Okay. None of those soldiers mean too much right now, so feel free to kill them off. I'd like to keep at least five to ten.

A Soldier bearing an AK-47 hung out of a third story window. He waited until the Sumixia Soldiers were about 10 yards away and rained fire down upon them. Three where struck in their heads and torsos, while the remainders quickly dove for cover. A bullet fired out from behind a car struck the soldier in the arm, causing him to drop the gun. He then had an idea.

He called out," If you want the girl, come and get her!" He ducked inside and slide three gernades out of his pockets...

Lucius marched down the line of very disciplined soldiers, numbering 300. They were the Governmental Task Force, a highly-trained group of Comatic soldiers.

He surveyed them fervently, he needed them to get to Marabal to help control the riots. And furthermore, they needed to help defend against Sumixia...

OOC: Thanks

IC: MNN (Marabal National News)

"We inturrupt you for this emergency broadcast. We have just learned that the Marabal goverment has released a massive riot control squad, all heavly armed. The have recieved orders to shoot and kill all rioting citizens on sight. Sumixia troops have also been spotted in Caharic, and will also be killed on sight. Comatica has also deployed a govermental task force to assist in the end of these riots. Thats all for now."

One of the soldiers motioned to the others. He took an explosive bolt out of his pocket, and put it on his crossbow. He aimed at the window. He checked his displayer. It didn't seem like she was anywhere around. He nodded. The rest of the soldiers loaded their crossbows with the explosive head and prepared to shoot.

OOC: If you want that soldier to live, I don't know. You can think of something. If not, let my guys take him out.

Livius patted his large ZSR-109 Automatic Assault Rifle with pride. It was the largest and most expensive gun the military had to offer.

This particular street of Caharic was deserted, but faint sounds of rioting could be heard in the vague fog. The wind picked up, and a helicopter flew within range. Livius had no time to react. A torrent of bullets cracked the air, and two GTF soldiers fell. Livius cocked his gun upward, and unleashed the full potential of his assault rifle. Several bullets were punched into the hull, and the chopper veered out of control. Fire then lit up the dusk as Livius lit up a cigar to toast his victory over the chopper.

The Soldier peered over the edge of the window down at the soldiers. He ducked quickly. He pulled out the pin of one gernade and dropped it out the window. It struck the ground below him, and he dashed out of the room, leaving behind his gun.

OOC: He's unarmed, so if your soldiers survive the gernade, they can take him prisioner or something.

*MNN EMERGENCY UPDATE*

"Officals have estamated over 4,500 people have been killed in the Marabal riots. So far 17 soldiers have been reported MIA. One helicopter has been shot down, and 14% of the city has been destroyed. More on this as it continues,"

The grenade dropped to the street. They barely had enough time to react before it exploded. Once the dust cleared, They took stock of their numbers. The car they had hid behind was peppered with shrapnel and so were two of the sumixian soldiers. One was still breathing.
"Help..." he said, and fell unconscious, but kept breathing. One of the men looked down at him.
"What was he?" asked the officer. One of the soldiers kneeled down and read his dog tags.
"NeoDruid." he said.
"Alright." said the officer. "He'll understand." The officer took out a knife, and jammed it hard into the soldier's neck.
"Alright. We'll split up." said the officer. He motioned to five of them. "You come with me. The rest of you, go try and find the president."

The six with the officer ran in the direction of the soldier as the rest went in Hannah's direction, and in the direction of the Comatic task force.

OOC: All those last guys are dead. If you want to RP it, make it heroic.

A man in a turbin ran across the street to an alleyway. He pulled out a sack from a barly he pryed open. Inside a bundle of Dynamite lay wrapped together. He pulled out a match from his pocket and struck it on the box. He placed it gingerly to the tip of the dynamtie. The fuse caught an dlet off a whirl of sparks.

The man threw the bundle into a massive crowd and hoped in a car. He pushed the petal straight to the floor and shot down the road. A massive ball of fire spread itself out over the crowd, completly destroying two city blocks simaltaniously.

Bump, I'm turning in for the night... Be back here first thing tomorrow.

Ditto.

Also, this explains my country better than the normal page.

Sumixia (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=383926)

The explosion shook the ground; a massive fireball loomed in the air. After the roar subsided, footsteps could be heard from around the corner. But this was not a good time to fight. There on the street, then Comatics were taking care of a dozen wounded soldiers, 3 of them Marabalian. All in all, 8 Comatics were dead, and several were missing in the bombed out shell of a city.

Gunfire took most of the Comatics by surprise. They rushed to reach their weapons, yet many of them were shot down mid-way. An explosive Crossbow bolt shattered the resistance, blowing a mosterous hole in the side of a building, leaving the air thick with gunfire and white dust.

Flashes of shell explosives conquered the soldiers' sights as the exchange of gunfire grew more intense. Craters were blown in the streets. Blood spilled into the sewers. Finally, the gunfire ceased. The Sumixian forces had disappeared.

The ambush cost the lives of 32 Comatic soldiers, and wounded 20 others. This was the worst attack on Comatic troops in a long time.

Only three Sumixian soldiers had survived. They hid behind one of the concrete walls, and checked their injuries. None of them were unhurt.
"Do you know what I heard?" asked one. When none of them answered, he continued anyway. "I heard that this country outlawed all religions except the state's. and were hanging anyone who practiced something else."
"That doesn't make any sense." said one soldier. He touched the cross that hung around his neck, and then loaded his crossbow with his last clip of explosive bolts.
"Let's go." he said, and stood up to face the remaining Comatic groups. The others followed suit. They released a final volley as they were cut down, never knowing how many they killed.

Meanwhile, The smaller group with the officer strode down an alley, when they ran face to face with the fleeing soldier. He found himself staring at six crossbows.
"You're coming with us." said the officer.

A man bearing a gun for protection walk down an alleyway, To his left, a wanted poster flutter in the desert wind, bearing the face of a woman responsible for killing two soldiers. He steepd around the corner, sending a can spinning across the sandy pavement.

He heard a footstep and looked up. He could barly make out a small bit of hair from behind a box. He loaded his gun and fired at the box. A hole apperead along with a slight bit of smoke. Suddenly, a cross bow bolt flew throught the wind, staright at his face. He fell to his knees, and it barly missed by some miracale.

He opened his eyes and saw the wanted woman reloading her cross bow. He quickly reloaded his gun and fired. His shot struck a car down the alleyway and popped it's tire.

He looked down to reloaded again, but saw a bolt have lodged in his chest, soaking his shirt in a maroon shade of blood.

Owasis Palace, Nothern Marabal

"Sir, that wanted woman has been spotted again, in an alleyway in Caharic." reported a guard. "Do we have any idea who it is yet?" the president asked. "Yes, her face resembles that of one of the Presidents of Sumixia."

"....Really" "Yes sir. We have troops hunting her down to kill her as we...." "Call them off," the President inturupted, "I don't want her dead, I want her a captive, call them off. Tell them we want her captured and flown outta there."

"Right away sir. The guard turnned and left. The president turnned around to watch the news, life footage of what was happing in his capital. Sumixia wouldn't get away easy with what they have done.

Only three Sumixian soldiers had survived. They hid behind one of the concrete walls, and checked their injuries. None of them were unhurt.
"Do you know what I heard?" asked one. When none of them answered, he continued anyway. "I heard that this country outlawed all religions except the state's. and were hanging anyone who practiced something else."

Meanwhile, The smaller group with the officer strode down an alley, when they ran face to face with the fleeing soldier. He found himself staring at six crossbows.
"You're coming with us." said the officer.

The air was still shrouded in white, chalky dust. Several of the soldiers that had been wounded in the previous ambush had died. Many more were expected to die also.

Livius strode around the street, checking all of the bodies to be sure that they were dead. All were indeed dead.

A small group of Sumixian soldiers appeared at the end of the avenue. There were so few of them, most Comatics thought they were also Comatic soldiers.

Until a firey display lit up the street.

Debris, shrapnal, and soldiers flew through the air at breakneck sppeds, and the force knocked many soldiers off their feet. Gunfire snapped through the dust. Concrete and fire shrouded everyone's view, and then all was silent.

68 more soldiers died in that attack, and wounded another 16, and it set another record.

Marabal, maybe you should get the war thread up and running.

The last Sumixian soldier lay on the ground, panting. He was all out od explosive bolts, and only one clip left of normal bolts. He loaded it, but when he tried to stand up, he found it impossible. He put the bow to his head and said a short Neo-Druid prayer, and pulled the trigger.

The officer's party had taken the long way around, avoiding most of the bombed out areas of the city. Eventually, they reached a fairly normal building, and stormed it. They almost shot Hannah, and she just missed them.
"About time." she said, and reloaded the bow. She turned and saw the enemy soldier running away. She shot a normal bolt into his leg, toppling him over.

They left him behind, and made their way to the top of the building. Once there, they called in the helicopters.

OOC: I'll only need one. Fell free to take out the other.

Anti-aircraft guns had been set up all over the city by Comatica. 106 Comatics were dead by now.

The two helicopters weaved through the skyskrapers that towered over the city. They had been given the order to keep the fighting downtown to a minimum, but this was an exception.

Anti-aircraft fire cracked the evening air, and flashes illuminated the areas were streetlights had been destroyed. A rocket had skimmed one helicopter. Smoke poured out, and it landed promtly on the roof of a government building.

A Comatic Greyhound Helicopter slowly ascended the height of the building, a full 600 feet. It reached the top, and the door slid open, were several soldiers stood ready.

The Sumixian helicopter was bombarded with RPGs, and the helicopter was blown apart.

The second helicopter had escaped undamaged, but the pilot didn't have an idea on how to get out of the city. He landed on the roof and waited until all the soldiers and the president had gotten on.
"We're in for a bumpy ride." said the pilot.

He took off, and headed towards the edge of the city.

OOC: I need these guys to get back to the country. Please don't destroy them.

Two Men neart the boarder line of the country sat. One made an atempt to blow a smoke ring with his cigar, while the other loaded a rocket propelled gernade launcher. He finished and yelled at the other man to stop smoking and get ready.

The other put his cigar out and picked up a M16. There was a growing hum as a black cloud in the distance grew closer and larger. They both aimed and prepared to shoot it down.

"Ready, set, NOW!!" The both pulled down the triggers on their weapons. The Rocket wooshed foward, and the man began to curse as it missed by a long shot.

The smoker held down his trigger as bullets began to fly towards the chopper. Several sparks followed by a broken window told the men they had failed to bring the chopper down.

There was a knock at the door. "Come in," said the president non-chalantly. "Sir, they've escaped. The Sumixia president has left the country. We failed to capture her." "DAMN IT!" yelled the president as he slammed his fist on the table. " And we also recieved a message another nation has allied with Sumixia." "Inform Present Day Comatica. We're invading Sumixia in 2 Days." "Very well sir," the guard bowed and slmammed the door shut. "Sumixia, it's time you enter hell...

OOC: I'll TG all you guys when the wars ready to start. If anybody else wishes to join, TG me or Sumixia, whichever side you want to be on.

The black Panasonic phone on Lucius's desk rang, jolting him from sleep. He jerked back the sheets and shuffled to the phone. He switched on his reading light and answered the phone.

Lucius's eyes widened as he heard the news of their escape, and that Marabal was invading Sumixia. The stroked his chin, lost in deep thought.

"The Sumixian soldiers penetrated Marabal unnanounced, to retrieve a murderer who killed several soldiers....they kill ours and Marabal's troops along the way....all just to retrieve a murderer who holds a high position. So they will not press charges, will they? For the murder of the soldiers? I guess presidents in Sumixia are above the law. Well, they are not above the grasp of the Comatic-Marabalian Alliance. Let the statement be sent out henceforth that we will be invading along with Marabal, for the justice that must be served."

A thought echoed inside Lucius's mind as he set the receiver down. This was going to take a mobilization larger and with more haste than ever before. Yet the military was already on alert because of the storming of Caharic.

OOC: I'll be posting all of my forces that I'll be invading with soon.

Alex waited on the roof of the government building, glancing at the light far away. As it got closer, he heard the helicopter blades whirring. It landed on the roof, and Hannah hopped out with the remaining soldiers.
"You're all promoted." said Alex, and pointed at the soldiers. He grabbed Hannah's arm and led her away.
"Okay. Here's the deal. Apparently, your trying to protect yourself makes you a murderer."
"Oh, please." said Hannah. "Do you know what they were doing to the people who don't follow their religion?"
"Yes. They hung them. I'm not blaming you. What I'm trying to say is we are about to be invaded by two different countries. I've already sent out a national warning, and we're getting the three main cities ready for submersion. I've also put all the units on activation."
"Good. I'll contact our allies."

"Hello," said the preseident into the phone. He listened. So Comatica was with them on this one. He already had a plan. He had already done some research on Sumixia, and they had a huge weakness. "Alright get the planes ready. I want all forces in that country in four hours." He hung up and scribbled a note to the Prime Minsiter.

I have about 50,000 ground troops in the forest, but my entire adult (16+)population has crossbows, and chances are they'll be fighting also. Children also will likely use their parent's crossbows.

My air force has 200 fighter helecopters which have Anti-Aircraft missiles. They aren't much of a match against bomber and fighter planes, but they are somewhat useful for defense.
