This had been long in the planning and had taken over 1,000 man hours to build the international capitol in which the leaders would meet and all important trade matters would be discussed and made. Honor, as the capitol was to be called, was not yet dedicated, for the leaders of Derivan, South sea islands, and Ulntran warriors, were not yet there.

------------------------
In the capitol of Ulntran warriors,Captila.

"President, your plane is ready." Secratary of State, John Landrews, said.

"Good, I will be there in two minutes." said President Gravistorm.He stood up from his chair and walked to the door followed by Mr.Landrews and three jaguar service-men(the Ulntran warriors secret service)."Tell the pilot to be ready to take off the moment we are on the plane."

"Yes, Mr.President." Mr.Landrews pulled a walkie-talkie out from under his coat, and spoke into it for a few moments. Seemingly satisfied by his answer he nodded to the President.

"Call the cabinet members, and tell them to be at the plane in two minutes." Said President Gravistorm.

"They are being notified as we speak, President."

-------------------------
Two minutes later the President and his cabinet boarded the plane that had been made for this purpose, to transport the very people that were on it. The buckle seat belt sign flashed on and they all fastened their own seat belts. Once they where safely at cruising altitude they unfastened their seat belts and started talking amoung themselves.

"Mr. president" secritary of state Dan Lukof asked as he knocked on the presidents door "come in" he replied opening the door Lukof announced "Mr. President your private jet is waiting" "thanks you Lukof I will be there in a minuet I just need to finish my propasal for the new trade sanctions" "yes sir"

20 mins later, Driven royal air palace, 15 miles above Driven

President Manoc exited from a capluse with his cabinet following behind, Manoc slowly walked towards the |Ming/ drop capluse.

withing seconds of departure the drop pod had covered some 350 miles across Derivan and landed at the air port at Honor.

exiting from the craft Manoc, Lukof , and secritary of commerce Phi Jank exited the capsule with 10 royal Skirmishers surounding them. Slowly the group made their way through a crowd of reporters.

As they entered the car a faint clicking sound could almost be heard.

"Mr.President, ETA in 20 mins." said the driver with a faint smile.

ooc:hey if you want I can do the terrorist actions.

ok go ahead!

"Mr.President would you like something to drink?" Asked the stewardess, balancing a tray with varios types of drinks on it.

"Yes, thank you, I would." President Gravistorm plucked a cup of water from the tray and smiled "thank you."

"You are welcome, Mr.President."The stewardess wandered of pausing by this cabinet member or that cabinet member.

"President, there are rumores that a terrorist gruop will try to keep us from dedicating Honor. We know not what this groups name is, only that they will stop at nothing to kill or hospitalate us all. We received this letter in the mail."
Said John Landrews, holding out a peice of paper.

"You've checked it for fingerprints, I trust?"Asked P. Gravistorm

"Yes, there were none exept the mail deliverers, whoever mailed this runs a tight operation."replyed John Landrews.

President Gravistorm looked down at the paper. Writen crudly in Common, it said:
HeLlo, MR,PrEsiDent, YOu WiLL Nevr DedICate HoNor, WE WilL Destry you All If u ConTiNu WiTH THiS CoRse OF AcTioN!!!!RETUURn To YOre Captol Cite BEFor We Destroi YU!!!!!
WE Wil Blow Yu UP!!!

"Not Exactly a comforting message, is it?"Asked John Landrews.

"No not at all."President Gravistorm looked again at the letter."Nevertheless we will continue on to Honor and these filthy terrorists will be hard pressed to destoy us all, as they themselves put it."

"Why, Mr.President?"Questioned John Landrews

"Because there will be more than 200 Jaguar service-men alone not to mention Derivans gaurd and the well-trained police that are stationed in the city."Said Gravistorm, smiling grimly."You kinda feel sorry for them don't you.?"

"Not really." Said John Landrews" They brought it on themselves."

"that they did, that they did."

the limozine sped off towards the direction of the dedication cite. suddenly on a back road the limo stopped, 30 men all dressed in black emerged from the ditches on the road. All armed with sub machine guns they let loose on the rear area of the car where lukof, the 10 skirmishers and Predident Manoc were seated. Instintly 4 skirmishers were killed and 3 wounded, one was keeping the president down and another keeping lukof down, Jank had been hit 3 times in the chest and 2 in the head.

The driver slowly emerged from the car and pulled a colt .45 from his coat pocket and opened the door to the rear, he quickly squeezed off 3 rounds into the skirmisher who was left defending the car. He grabbed the hair of the one keeping President Manoc down and fired a bullet into his head, just as the 3rd rose he quickly fired the rest of the clip into him. The driver signaled to the men on the sides of the car and they rushed in and grabed lukof. The men quickly dragged Lukof and Manoc into a wooded section of the road. A short man approached the driver and removed his mask to reveal a young man with light brown hair and cold blue eyes, "it has been good working with you Jace" "as you Main, and may Drevira shine light apon your mission." as he finished saying that the young boy entered into the drivers seat and sped off towards a small depot. once inside the depot the boy exited the car and entered an identical one with 4 men riding in the back, with them they each carried a small piece to a large bomb.

At the air port in Honor 5 men stood waiting by a simliar limozine for president Gravistorm.

ooc:i wonder were south sea islands is?

ic:
----------------------------------
"Please fasten your seatbelts and put your seats in the upright position."Said the stewardess.Various sounds greeted her request, clicks clacks, and one muttered curse as someone's favorite tie got caught in the seat's recliner gears.
twenty minutes later the president and his companions left the plane.

"President! Can I speak to you for a moment?" asked John Landrews.As he and president Gravistorm walked a bit away from the others 3 Jaguars took up gaurd around them. Landrews looked down at his ruined tie."Got to get a new tie. Anyways thats not why I called you over here."He shuffled around a bit then said "We haven't heard from south sea islands yet sir."

"Why not?"Asked President Gravistorm.

"We don't know, none of our transmissions have been replied to."Replied John Landrews.

"Keep it up, and let me know the moment something comes up, Ok?" President Gravistorm asked.

"Yes, Mr.President."

A man slowly approached President Gravistorm, "Mr. President can you come with me sir" he said and gestured to a limozine, we have recent information that is of the utmost importance. The man quickly proceeded to the limozine and opened the door

Main and the 4 men in the rear of the limo sped off towards the capitol building of honor he looked back, the 4 men had almost finished piecing the "terror" together, Main reached for the radio and to his surprise a broadcast was being made on every channel,in a very thick derivinian accent "We, the surpressed people of Honor, declare to day that we shall stop all attempts by the Ulntran warriors, Derivan, the South Sea Islands, and Paradine at reaching a trade agreement and if forced too we shall kill the presidents of each country, we will say this now.......no one is safe in no country" ah Jace your accent is too thick! he exclaimed as he pulled into the parking complex under the capitol building.

ooc: I don't know I havn't heard anything from south sea.

ooc:well guess south sea ain't coming.

ic:-----------------------
"Your'e not in any of the pictures we received."Said one of the Jaguar service-men."Whats the code?"
the Jaguars had received pictures of all the people the president would need to meet and been told to memerize a code, a code that every one who wanted to talk to the president would know. Mark, the Jaguar who had questioned the man, wagered that the man did NOT know the code.
"Uh, maybe your'e gonna die?"The man pulled a Ak-47 from the limo, only to find five pistols pointed at his chest and 4 more lazer sights playing across his chest.
"Drop it" said Mark narrowing his eyes.
"And if I don't?"Said the other man
"You're life ends now."Said President Gravistorm, nodding at the pistols held by himself, John Landrews, and the three Jaguar service-men.
the Terrorist started just now noticing that both president Gravistorm and Secratary of state John Landrews were holding pistols, the nasty ends pointed at him.They had seemingly apeared out of nowhere.Five years in the service of a different president as jaguar service-men had done them well.

ooc:this is if the man is a terrorist if he's not ooc it and ill change this.

ooc: that wasnt' the man but it works anyways, no need to change

The man slowly lowered his AK and raised his hands, in his hands was a small detonator, smilling he pressed the trigger.

The small explosion was not enough to kill any one, just to wound them and to keep the man from interogation

a second limo approached the president, 10 derivinian skirmishers exited picked president Gravistorm off the ground and pushed him into the limo as it sped off.

"President Gravistorm" a man said across from Gravistorm " we have a situation, 10 mins ago president Manoc was not at the capitol building as he should have, we dispatched 7 teams of skirmishers and found the body of 10 skirmishers by a road side. They were found with ak-47 rounds in them along with 45. round ammunition, presumably a colt. We fear the the president and his secretary of state lukof have been taken ransom, we need your help in retreiving them, it will require the joint opperations of our skirmishers with your jaguars." the man handed Gravistorm a folder "inside are the frequencys for all skirmisher teams and there locations, because president Manoc has been taken captive all power of the skirmishers has been transported to your regime, until the situation stabalizes."

ooc:ill asume you took Landrews with you.
"President, we need to set up a perimeter."John Landrews said urgently

"Do it, and make sure to cancel the dedication, that will have to wait."Said President Gravistorm." Jaguar divisions 1 and 2 provide forward surveilence along with half of the royal skirmishers. The rest of the soilders start fortifying the city and making air sweeps.You"he pointed to one of the men who had pulled himinside the car" get me the Jaguar General in charge of thing in here, hes got command of the forces in the city. Skirmisher general gets forward military forces."he looked at John "Oh, and John,get me the black diamonds."

"Yes sir."Landrews looked out the window and viola! there stood the black diamonds all standing in a neat little row!Opening the door John Landrews shouted"Get in here men!"the car scidded to a stop and the Black diamond poured inside.

"Jim, I need you to find out where president Manoc is, we'll breif you at the base, get ready for trouble."Said President Gravistorm to Captain Jim Raynor, over the hubub of all the men finding seats

"Driver take us to the military base, via sirens."Said James Gravistorm"get us there as fast as you deem safe."

----------------------
back where the explosion went off
----------------------
Mark came to his feet to late to catch the limo, so he took the initiative, got his men to their feet and started off torward the nearest military post.


ooc:I was wondering if Mark could run into a couple of terrorists, for kicks. you'd feel kinda sorry for the terrorists wouldn't you? Need name for your general, mines coming into play next post.
:sniper:

Joe and Gangrie where the leaders of their little freedom-fighter cell.There was 40 of them in all scattered around Honor in groups of ten. Each group had a pickup truck with a 50-caliber machine gun mounted in the back, 1 Bazoka, 10 M5 garands and variose other small weapons.They had planned to attack the big crowd that would gather for the dedication ceromonies, but so far only a small trickle of people had entered the dedication area, all leaving within 5 minutes of arriving.
"We've got to do something."Complained Gangrie.

"Shut up, you fool. Someone may be listening."Snapped Joe, nerves taut.

"You always get to snapp at me"Moped Gangrie

"We'll attack the combined forces in the large military base they've built here.once we take that people will come swarming to our banners."Said Joe"And we'll attack right now. Alert the groups!"

------10 minutes later----------
Mark was running down a side lane when he noticed several pickup trucks, with suspitiose looking tarps thrown over something in the middle ogf the truck beds.

"Come with me, you swing round that way."Mark had had enough running, it was so slow in a city this big. if this was what he expected, he would have a ride, soon.He reached to yank off the tarp and felt a knife held to his back.

"Don't move, you scum."Said a nasty voice from behind him.he Ignored the voice and, lightning fast, reached behind him and grabbed the arm that held the knife.Flipping the man over wasn't that hard, considering how the man was so surprised at his ignoring the mans warning.

"Your turn not to move."Said Mark, already holding his pistol, pointed it at the terrorist."Not one move.A single twitch from you and I twitch too."

"Drop your weapon, Jaguar, or I twitch"Another voice came into play

Mark glanced behind himself, noted the mans rifle and droped his pistol."Who're you?"

"Your worst nightmare."

slowly watching Mark wrestle as a the man pointed the garand at mark, a sharpshooter skirmisher, took aim from a near by building and sent a bullet into the mans head, blowing it off and the body back.

Small scale fighting all over town erupted, Derivans and ulntran freedom forces were far too eager for fighting and started shooting at armed gaurds in the street. All in all there were about 1,000 derivan freedom fighters in the city, 500 in the sorounding area, and another 100 in citys elswhere.

shouts went out across the radios already counting the dead, 10 rebels, 20 skirmishers.

Skirmisher head quarters sent out a distress beacon to a nearby military depot for the 23 Infintry division, 7th heavy armor division, and 1st urban divisions to head out immediatly.

As the trucks pulled out of the depot they immediatly started receiving fire from nearby insurgents. Letting loose with 7 50. calibur machine guns the first 4 trucks were almost literaly shot too peices, the next too trucks were damaged, already the military had lost 750 men in just that one incident.

sharp shooters began staioning all over the city, as certain areas were evacuated to reduce civilian deaths, however some would stay, either too fight with the freedom fighters, too defend their homes, of join the mlitary.

1st urban division, 2nd regiament, 4th battalion, alpha company, third platoon, 1st squad. slowly corpral Rogers crept forward, his arms tense, he slowly peeked around a corner, 3 machine guns went off, he snapped back, silently he motioned his men to come close, he whispered "3 machine guns, 2 on the left one on the right, James, Erich, and Vlad, go around the building and take the right, Sdan, Uyo, Hans, come with me, Hetz and Ballger stay here radio for help I think there are a large amount of troops see if you can get us some artillery. Simultaniously 3 smoke grenades went off, the men slowly crawled forward, aimed their rifles and fired, 2 of the guns were destroyed the 3rd was damaged and teh gunners all killed. They stood up and ran towards the sand bag nests, just as the 7 men left the cloud 23 machine guns opened up and slaughtered the men.

Fighting like this happend all around the city, the Derivinian army was getting cut too peices by the well dug in freedom forces, the only real progress made was by the 7th heavy armored, the bazooka rounds used by the insurgents were reflected off of the armor. they were able to secure 8 city blocks, but lost 9 of the 40 tanks in doing so.

Total estimated dead: DFF: 72 dead, 3 wounded, 5 captured
DA: 9 tanks destroyed, 150 dead, 17 wounded, 0 captured

ooc: my countrys tech level is ww2 so it's not the most advanced, also so no one things my army is a weak, the Freedom fighters attck then relocate to the army concentrates on the area where they were, but then gets out flanked and cut down.

ooc:you can use the jaguar general to do things in the city, ok?I'm assuming Mark doesn't have a gun pointed at him anymore.

ic:-----------------
Mark looked up onto the roof tops, noticed the skirmisher, and waved to him not to move."You guys all right?"He asked to his companions, Mig and Jordan.They both nodded."Laet's get up to the roofs."

-----UP ON THE ROOFS, 2 MINUTES LATER.------
"I'm Mark, he's Mig and he's Jordan.What's your name?"Asked Mark, speaking to the skirmisher.

"Leonardo, but you can call me Leo."Replied the Skirmisher"We should move around, we don't want to get shot by thoses rebels."He started jogging toward the roofedge, then looked back."You coming?"

"Yup, we're coming."Mark jogged over to Leo and thumped him on the back."That was some shooting you did."

"Thanks"Said Leo, making no effort to be abashed.

"I like you."Mark said jumping to the next house over"Let's move out!"

----------14 MINUTES LATER-----------
"Careful, men."Mark motioned back for quite then lay on the roof and peered over the edge.His head shot back as fast as it had gone forward."10 men, you think we can handle it?"

"I reckon so."Said Jordan in his soft drawl."Them's rebels aint even watching the roofs."He gave a soft chuckle."Grenade or two should work."

---------on the ground---------
Jang was surprised when he heard a clunk behind him, no two clunks. he looked behind himself and never looked any where again.
Boom!of went the grenades changing Jang's life to death.
The survivers of the Grenades looked up, just in time to see four figures shooting pistols and a rifle down into their ranks. None survived.

Jordan jumped to the ground and picked up three unruined rifles and lots of bandaliers, then grabbed a rope hung over the side of the roof.Once up top he handed out the rifles and divided the bandoliers equally.

"Now we're ready to rumble!" Said Mark, Smiling wide"Them reb's didn't even know what hit them!"

General Mendagone was not having a good day. First President Manoc dissapears, then Terrorist groups start attacking from all over the city.All-in-all, he'd rather be taking a vacation than be here.oh well.
"If we can't fight them on the division level then we'll fight them on the squad level.Boys, we're going guirilla."Said Mendagone"Make it happen"

Seven men took of in different directions, one to the derivians, another to President Gravistorm, who had arrived a while earlier, and one to take a potty brake.Almostt imediatly squads of soilders where climbing over the walls and running through the gate and spreading out over the entire city.The squads who were already out where notified and they began working in concert with the other squads to take out what the could and bypass what they couldn't.That is all exept for one squad, a squad of three jaguars, and one skirmisher.

7 heavy tanks rumbled down the strees with a light tank following behind, behind them, were 25 riflemen. From the roofs rebels launched rockets at the light tanks, 1 destroyed, 2 damaged, and another disabled. the heavy tanks quickly turned and fired into the building demolishing them, the infintry went into the ruined square, sudenly machine gun fire erupted and mowed down 47 infintry, the rest dived onto the ground, the tanks rotated and blew out the posts. 10 mins later more light tanks and replacement infintry proceeded down the street.

20 mins later...
All units are too stop advancing, they are too immediatly retreat back to fortress Deri and await orders. the tanks turned around, the infintry clammored aboard the tanks and they sped off towards the southwestern section of the city where the fortress was located

Fortress Deri was a heavy fortress, a total of 30 .50 calibur machineguns lined the walls, 20 .30 calibur machine guns were located in the store room. It maintained a garrison of 5 heavy tanks, 9 medium tanks,14 light tanks, 200 riflemen, 7 150mm howitzers, 10 50mm howitzers, 2 big berthas, and a platoon of Ghas special forces(basicly the best of the best, 1 man has the ability to take on 60 enemy infintry and any type of tanks.). The fortress covered 4 square miles and the rear is built into a mountain with an escape tunnel running through it. The rear of the fortress contains an airfield, supply depot and artillery housing. The artilliry is dug into the ground 25 feet deeep. further out is the housing and store room, made of 25 in. thick cement reinforced by metal plating slanted to deflect bullets and explosives. At the entrance to the base is the gun stations, a artillery post, anti aircraft weaponry(50. calibur machine guns, 105mm flak cannons) and antitank mines at the entrance(for a tank to leave the fortress it has to be taken on a tank lift on the second story of the wall). The wall of the fortress is 300 feet high made of concrete with steel plating on the top the wall is slanted backwards to reflect bullets and rockets, the wall is supported by concrete pillars, which are camoflaughed and protected by 12in. of steel

3o mins after the call went out all troops had entered into the fortress and began refitting for redeployment.

All troops,that is, except one. Mark ,Mig ,Jordan and Leo where all still running around fighting. They had, luckily, noticed that there was less and less gunfire until now there was almost absolute silence.

"Wonder where ever'one's got to."Jordan said, shifting the rifle in his arms.

"Probably to Deri." Leo had picked up static, but nothing except the words Deri, to, and to had gotten through."Want to go find out?"

"No, let's look around a bit first. Get some info on rebel positions."Mark pointed and said, "That way."

------2 hours later----------
"That's where the sixth rebel position that we found is, sir."Mark and all the others that had been with him where safly inside fortess Deri.

"Good, this information you've provided will help very much in coming battles."General Mendagone

"I'd like to make a request, general."Mark stood at attention.

"What is it?"

"The Skirmisher who came in with me, Leonardo. I'd like to have him in my squad."

"That's an unusual request, Captain. However I'll see what we can do. You'll probably move out with his brigade in the next battle."

"Thank you, General."

-----------------------------
"This is where president Manoc was taken, as far as we can figure."The Black diamonds where in the breifing area."you'll be given axcess to all the equipment you need, and support from the army and air force.Good luck."

General Heinz and his subordanets met in the briefing room. "sir this is the information we have currently" a tall man infront of a projector said to the General. He clicked on the projector and a ariel photo of the city came on, he pointed to a small culvasac near Deri this is the first outpost the enemy has, we have information that they are using radio intercept equipment to set up attcks against our troops" he pointed to a small shack on the outskirts of Honor and said "this is where we beleave manoc is located, a team of black diomonds is already en route. here," he pointed to a large apartment complex" is where we beleave the enemy H.Q. is located." he reached down and pressed a button on the projector and thousands of red dots appeared "these are enemy positions as of ten minuets ago." The lights flickered on and everyone sat in silence looking at General Heinz for orders. "Dans let me see thoose photos again" the man in front of the projector picked up a pile of papers and handed them to Heinz. He looked over them for a minuet. "Ok here's what I want done. A) I want troops to go to every house and slowly evacuate the city, B) I want tanks and soldiers coming every square inch of ground. C)when reports of fighting come in I want ariel cover to take out any opposition, D) the civilians will be brought inside and interogated, when cleared of interogation and their street has been cleared they will be permited to leave. and last, I need some cigars.......also bring me Lt. Messer." Hienz and the rest quickly got up and started preparing for the attck.

20 mins later

"come in" said Hienz when he heard a knock on his door. A young Lt. came in and saluted "yu wanted me sir!" "take a seat Messer" Messer sat down in a chair in front of Hienz desk. "Messer are you aware of the situation we are in right now?" "yes sir, the enemy has proved to be quite evasive and is able to inflictmassive casualties on your soldiers while sustaining very few them selves, they have no armor, but are equipped with AP rounds, and rockets, they are skilled marksmen with bolt actions, and very adept with assault rifles." "Good, heres what I want you to do, I am demoting you to a corpral and putting you incharge of a squad, your job, no duty is to infiltrate enemy H.Q. and cause to nutralize all hostiles, then come back here to regroup and head out again to destroy any enemy strong points, if you complete this I will give you a promotion to Brigadier General of the Urban assault units. understood?" "Sir yes sir."

15 mins later Corpral Messer set out with his squad towards the center of town. He had 4 men with T-21 assault rifles, 2 with 20pd demo paks, 3 with M103 rifles, 1 radio operator armed with a I-55 automatic pistol, and 2 snipers with DPR-21's.

within ten minuets the 7th heavy armored and first urban began moving out, the 23rd came out shortly. 5 mins later the 1st came under fire and destroyed the radio post on the ouskirts of Deri, the 7th came under fire soon after, hell was about to break loose.

ooc:First of all the black diamonds are the ONLY black diamonds.there are 25 of them, 2 snipers, Jim Raynor( a class in his own right)6 Teflon coated pistols, 1 radio operator(teflon coated pistol), 3 anti-tank crews(two men to each crew,1 rocket launcher with 15 ammo, all have Atomatic rifle), 5 rifle-men, 5 Heavy attack soilders(Heavy machine gun, smoke grenades, 5 powder grenades(the kind that blows up)2 Teflon coated pistols, each, and 5 recon/skirmishers. This is gonna be fun:)

ic:-------------------
The black diamonds aproached the shack that supposedly held President Manoc. Getting past the outer ring of gaurds was easy. A knife did its work quietly,no sound to alert the others. Now that they had gotten close to the shack Raynor pointed to his Recon lads and gestured for them to follow. What followed was a 15 minute nightmare of avoiding gaurds, dogs and getting close to the shack.

"We good?"Raynor asked

"We good."Answered Private Collin Mcdoger.Raynor Ducked around the corner and up to the window.He peeked in.Then milliseconds later his head flew back from the window.

"He's in there all right. Signal the boys."

suddenly bullets ripped the air shooting along their predetermined paths.Their predetermined DEADLY paths.

"Go."Jim Raynor suddenly pulled to heavy pistols from under his long trench coat and leaped through the window. His five Recons jumped in after him.

"Die!"Raynors pistols spat streams of metal at all the rebels, killing five out of the 12 men inside the room.the recons took care of the rest."President Manoc?"

"Yes, it's me. Let's get out of here."Replied President Manoc.

"we gotta clear the area first, president. We'll stay here and let the others take out most of the other gaurds. Even as he said that 15 more rebel gaurds tried to leap in through the window and door.it didn't work. Raynor shot down the ones that went for the window while the recons took the door.

"You know how to use a gun?Raynor asked Manoc

"Basically, point and press."Manoc grinned grimly"Never shot at another human though"

"there's a first time for everything.here"Raynor handed two other pistols to Manoc as well as a spare combat knife."You might need those."

----------15 minutes later-------------
The Black Diamonds had cleared the area with only five wounds. They where very, very good at what they did.As they made there way torwards fortress Deri, Manoc suddenly pointed his pistol and shot. They all heard the forest suddenly erupt into gunfire.

"Get down!"Raynor realised that it wasn't rebels fiing at them, but rebels firing at rebels!Manocs shot had started a small battle between the Rebels.He couldn't suppres a smile."Get moving."

once they were safely past the Rebels they started to run and reached Fortress Deri in about 20 minutes.

"Job well done, Black diamonds."President Manoc Said as soon as they entered Fortess Deri"I owe you my life."

"We just did our duty as members of the confederacy of honor."Raynor replied."A duty we are proud of."

Messer quielty led his men into an open court yard, he whisperd "James, Isacas, Luther, Christer, Hansed, head over too the other side of the court yard" he said pointing to the wall enveloping the court yard across from thier position "Nikly, I want you and Henderson to get on that building and give us sniper cover, wait for me to give the signals" he threw them a small hand held radio "Jamison I want you to stay right here, the rest of you, with me." Messer slowly crept forward, suddenly a shot rang out and a bullet skmmed by Messers head, he jumped behind a near by wall, quickly using hand signals Messer told Jamison to radio the snipers for help, he then signaled for the second team to run across to the enemy H.Q. building on his mark. 3...2...1 the team ran across the courtyard and behind cover of the building, simultaneously the 2 snipers let loose and started picking off enemy soldiers right and left "8, how many you got?" "17" Henderson replyed to Nickly's challenge. The second team ran up the stairs leading into the building, Messer and the rest of his men (2 assault, 1 demo, 1 rifle, radio operator) ran across the courtyard and to the rear of the building. As he rounded the corner he came across 8 men all armed with bolt actions, he raised his HI-31 bolt action, fired and took off a mans head, he backed up behind the wall and cocked his gun "7, 1 injured I beleave" the two men with the assault rifles jumped out around the corner and let loose a spray of bullets, the rifle man and Messer peaked around the corner and started shooting, 4 men were knocked to the ground, 1 killed instantly, 1 shot in the hand another in the leg and another in the chest, Messer blew a mans head off again and the rifleman picked the two off in the head. They man ran into the back door, found no resistance and raced room from room finding nothing but dead enemy bodys "looks like James did his job" the men raced upthrough the biulding and up three flights of stairs, they finally cought up to James and his group, one man had been shot in the arm, but had been taken care of, other then that no injurys or deaths, death toll- 75 rebels killed, 3 captured, 5 enemy personnell (1 radio operator, 2 intel officers, and three important looking ones). "Luther, Dami set this place to go off, I don't want a trace left" "yes sir!" they quickly ran down stairs to the basement. "Jamison, radio H.Q. tell them mission accomplished and we will start back soon, and tell Nickly and Henderson to start packing up" "yes sir" "everyone else start gather all the papers you can find" the men went to work quickly, they knew the enemy would be upon them.

"Mr. President welcome back!" shouted his personel staff as Manoc entered the intelligence building in fortress Deri "thanks, but I need to see Heinz" "yes sir right this way" said his secretary leading him to Heinzes office. Manoc opened the door "doin a hell of a job there old man" "Manoc!", Heinz jumped up and saluted "no need Heinz, I need you to breif me on the situations" "yes sir, we have had a hell of a time uprooting the little bastards, we recalled the three divisions here, regrouped and set them out again, we have the 23rd infintry, 1st urban, and 7th heavy armored divisions in the field right now, they are having tremendous success...but..." "but what general?" "The rebels are giving us hell, they let our heavey tanks go and either hit them from behind or massacer our infintry" "I see....." the two men sat in silence "Heinz here's what needs to be done, I want the 25th here and I want them ASAP, they are to take the northern end of town and commence operations" "the 25th? sir that's a paratroop unit, this is an urban fight sir, they are going to get slaughterd sir, paratroops are to be used in taking open areas and holding out till reinforcements arrive" "Heinz I served in the 25th I know damn well what they can and cannot do, now either give the order, or I will remove you and find a General who whill" "yes sir....I will give the order sir" Heinz said with a sigh.

ooc: boy for people massacaring the tanks and infantry, these rebels seem mighty easy to kill with special forces.

ic:-------------------
President Gravistorm gave the order."I want the 1st and 32nd Special Forces to cover this area, clearing it of rebel and giving the infantry a chance to dig in. 56th tank Battalion will give support. Give this area to the Black Diamonds and the 1st Jaguar, that's where the heaviest concentration of rebels is." He smiled, imagining the rebels as they realised what was happening."Tell them to take to the roofs, as the rebels don't seem to like them."

"Yes, sir."A corpral stepped out of the room and made for military command. A knock sounded at the door.

"Enter."President Gravistorm said. Mark stepped into the room, followed by Mig and Jordan."Yes?"

"We were told to report to you, sir." Mark said in military tones, all traces of the easy going speach he used in combat gone.

"As body-guards, I presume?" Questioned President Gravistorm

"That's what we were told, sir." Mark answered

"Very well, you may relieve the 1st watch."

"Yes sir."

----------------------------------------
In the western suberbs of the city the Ulntran warriors special forces had secured almost all of the area the had been ordered to. A few hotspots had flared up, but were being delt with unmercifully. The area assigned to the 1st Jaguar and Black Diamond had been one of the first to fall, Rebels throwind down their guns and running away in terror as grenades thunked behind their lines and blew, snipers demolishing the ranks and suicidal charges, although very few of the attacking men where killed or wounded.
total forces:
660 Infantry
89 Jaguar type tanks
175 Special forces/Jaguar service-men
20 Black diamonds

Killed/wounded
40 Infantry-men
75 Jaguar Service-men
11 Jaguar type tanks
0 Black diamonds

ooc:
"You know how to use a gun?Raynor asked Manoc

"Basically, point and press."Manoc grinned grimly"Never shot at another human though"
:::::Whoops, guess he knows how to use a gun fairly well.::::

within the hour the 25th was in the air and had dropped in over the northern sectors of the city, caprturing choke points, supplys, and killing 200 men total to a loss of 7.

A company, 6th regiment, 25th airborne.
Lt. Andrews and his men had hastily been flown in to northern honor by giant A-5 "alcatraz" drop ships, men from his company had been scattered thorugh the culvasaks, but had managed to rally thanks in large part to radio operators. The men set out in squads down the street, luckily the rebels never saw the A-5's till it was too late, the paratroopers pounced on the unguarded rear lines of the fortifications made by rebels, although almost completly unguarded, the area was of the utmost importance, especially if the rebels never knew it was captured. What would happen is when the 7th and 1st drove them from the southern part of the city, they would retreat to the pre made fortifications and massacre the enemy with well prepared traps and lots and lots of brest works.

That is exactly what happend, rebel troops began running towards the fortifiications, around 200 of them, the following was not a battle or a skirmish, it was a slaughter, the paratroopers opened up with every thing, from bolt actions rifles, to captured heavy machine guns, not one man of the 25th was killed or wounded, the rebels however, only 6 were wounded the rest killed.

this one action alone brought rebel forces to their knees, they once had a large force of 4000 to a tiny band of 250.

but they were still stubborn as hell to hold ground, many men caused severe damage to the light tanks guarding the flanks of the heavier ones, and hitting exposed soldiers and then running. After another half hour of fighting the rebels ewre brought down to 130 men.

"Mr. President I have good news, resistance is lightining and rebels are running out of man power, what are your orders?" "I want you too recall the 7th, 1st, and 23rd have the 25th hold position until my order, I want my Secretary of Special forces in here ASAP" "yes sir I'm on it"

20 mins later General Young arrived at Fortress Deri "Mr. President, you wanted me?" "Yes, have a seat, we have a situation here, it seems that force may have worked in reducing the enemy forces, it is not sufficient, we have witnessed that the best attempts, with the best out comes, is small tactical units destroying key positions, I want you too give me a report on all small action, and I want you to set up small action operation, if our intel is not suffiecient, ask General Heinz, he will give you all the information you need, if he doesnt talk to me about it, understood?" "yes sir!" Young snapped out of his seat and hurried off.

in fortress Deri...
"The enemy is still up and running around, but is to small to be of any major threat. What remains is mostly mop-up action."

"Good, General Mendagone, order the remaining forces to comense mop-up operations."President Gravistorm said. Suddenly the ground seemed to shake as maps fell of walls and everyone was momentarily deafened as a rumbling Boom filled the air. Seconds later the air filled with attack sirens, Fortress Deri was under attack!

"Hit the dirt!"Yelled Mark running at the president and pushing him to the ground, while Mig did the same to a momentarily stunned Mendagone.

"Grenades!" Jordan yelled, running from the doorway where he was stationed. Many smaller explosions filled the air as the three Jaguar service-men pulled out their rifles. Mig and Jordan tossed pistols to the president and General Mendagone, who after the initial shock was now barking orders over his radio. whump everyone looked to see what it was, then looked away. It was a soldier that had been flung from the wall, and he wasn't a pretty sight.

"Get the soldiers back on the walls, find out how many rebs are out there and for heavens sake do it fast."Mendagone barked. Moments later there were the thumps of soldiers boots running past the building they where in, torward the wall.

"Get me 20 more jaguars and get me them fast." Mark said calmly over his walkie-talkie. A couple minutes later 20 men arived inside the building and stationed themselves to defend best.

"Oh my goodness." Said Mendagone

"What?" Asked practicly everyone at once.

"The rebels have TANKS, yes TANKS, outside the fortress supported by uncounted infantry, mostly heavies." Heavies where machine-gun, rocket launcher, or grenade launcher weilding infantry.

"Fun." Mark muttered, other soldiers also murmered their feelings. "What are we going to do, Sir?"

ooc:--------------------
How many forces do you have outside fortress Deri? 'cause they're gonna be taking a pounding. U like how it goes? can change it if you want. if youdon't what to change i'd like some interaction between your president and mine.

ooc: anybody reading this, feel free to ask if you can take the terrorists.

ooc: no it's ok this is great! I was running out of ideas, I have 4 divisions, heavy tank, urban, infintry, and airborne

ic: As the ground rumbled, Manoc and Heinz were knocked to thier knees. "what the hell is going on?!" they both exclaimed. They both got up, only to be brought back down by another rumble. An aid ran into the office Manoc and Heinz were i and yelled "sir Rebel troops are assaulting with massive waves of infintry, tanks, and an artillery peice to the east!", Heinz and Manoc staired in disbelief, Hienz recoverd from the shock quickly " I want a full status report in 5, get me the commanders of the 4 divisions on radio!" "yes sir!" the aid ran out as 10 skirmishers ran into the office, grabbed Manoc and pulled him out of the room and into a concrete bunker near the airfield.

5 mins later: "Lt. Ashbert what is your status?" "sir were getting pounded, were down to 7 light tanks, 20 meadium tanks and 23 heavy tanks, we've lost 200 infintry and are pinned down by heavy fire." "ok wait till my orders" "yes sir" "Lt. James whats your position?" "sir we've been taking heavy fire for the last 20 mins, were pinned down. were taking heavy casualties, and were starting to run low on ammo" "ok, wait for instructions, Major Wilkins what is your position?" "sir we are maintaining out defensive positions in the northern end of the city" "good, wait for orders, Lt. hamson what is your position?" "sir we have hit no resistance, all enemy forces have been cleared from the eastern section of the city" "good, I want you to move back to Deri, be carefull though, enemy armor is roaming the area, heavy infintry is assaulting the area, I want you to send half you division to help out the 23rd" "yes sir"
" Lt. James hold out, the 1st urban is sending troops your way and will arrive soon" "yes sir" "Major I want you to releave the 7th we need those tanks at Deri have your men move out immediatly" "yes sir!"

"Heinz you called me?" "yes, I want the airforce involved in this, the enemy is wide open infront the the walls, tell them to send dive bombers" "yes sir"

Withing minuetes the 1st tactical squadron was in flight, it contained: 10 A-105 "Cheetah" fighter planes, 15 B-21 "Lion" dive bombers, and 8 B-55 "Panther" Strategic bombers. "........I'll level this entire area if I have to....." Heinz muttered to himself.

Messer and his men were sneaking through the streets when the fire erupted "what the hell is going on?" messer said outloud "all right men, we need to move this doesn't sound good" the squad snuck down the street. Messer ran from out behind a corner and quickly jumped back, gavce the signal to stop. He slowly peeked around the corner, 2 medium tanks and around 50 infintry, "James, Isacas, Matthew,Luther I want you to lay a covering fire while cross the street,Nickly and Henderson, on the roof, I'll let you know when, Hansed, Fox get ready on my signal we will add to the covering fire, when that happens get rid of those tanks, got it?" they both noded, "ok good, here we go..........NOW!" Messer and the 2 Assault rifles opend up with the two rifles, the enemy infintry ducked behind the tanks, but not before taking 9 casualties, Messer and two men followed him across the street, they began adding to the covering fire, Messer signaled the snipers, they started picking men off. already 25 infintry were killed. The 2 demo men ran out into the street slid up next to a seperate tank, each laid 2 satchel charges under the tanks and ran back to the alley ways where the covering fire was coming from. Within seconds the 2 tanks blew up, the infintry dead, all 50 of them. "All right men good job, nickly, Henderson lets go!" Messer and his squad began moving again towards Deri not knowing of what lay ahead.

ooc: yea, I was running out of ideas, too. Grinns. I like this idea. I'm still confuesed by one thing. WHO IS YOUR GENERAL? I cannot figure it out. nothing against you, but i'm lost as to who most of your people are, except Manoc and Messer.

ic:-------------------
"President, the rebels have ceased fire, we need to get to the bunker." Mark said. As the highest ranking jaguar there he was in charge... along with the president.

"Then let's get there." Said Gravistorm, gesturing at the door." As fast as we can." With that Mark gave orders to "packup and move-out."

THe twenty-five men all crossed the grenade blast pocked parade-ground as fast as possible and entered the bunker just as the rebels started firing again.

Seeing president Manoc in a different room, President Gravistorm nodded to Secretary of state John Landrews, who had entered the bunker before them.. Predident Gravistorm then turned to Mark, Mig, And Jordan. " Come with me, you three."

Mark, Mig and Jordan followed their president and Never-the-less assumed bodygaurd possitions.They watched as he stopped outside a door and said "Stay here until someone pokes a head out. Then come in." "Yes, Sir" all three of them said. President Gravistorm and SoS John Landrews entered the room.

"Hello, President Manoc. I am the president of Ulntran Warriors, President Gravistorm. To weather the storm of rebelion, our great armies will need a unified Central Command. I have directed my general to find yours, and unify our forces." President Gravistorm held out his hand.

ooc: Heinz is my General

ic: "hello President Gravistorm, I agree, this menace needs to be wiped from the face of the earth, my only wish is to drive them onto the plato of Gheis I can then send massive amounts of bombers to annihlate them, also I can then use the newly developed "Juggernaught" tank to wipe them out." Manoc reached his hand out and shook Gravistorm's happily

"I have no problem with your General in charge, just that you leave 1 division completly under Heinz's control, I don't want him to get bored"

Messer and his squad moved down the street, every once in a while would see a few infintry and pick them off, but it had goten relativly quiet.

The 25th began moving out immeadiatly and reached the &th fairly quickly. Enemy troops had formed a strong barrier on the flanks and ahead of the division. The 25th bagan punching through on the left and the forward positions of the rebels. heavy fighting followed, close combat, snipers and tanks were every were. A man would stab another man, then only to get hit from sniper fire, then the sniper having revealed himself would take hits from the tanks. within 30 mins the 25 had crushed the foreward part and routed the left, 2 regiments pursued them as the rest of the division turned right along with the 7th and over ran the enemy positions, capturing 200 and killing 1000.

4 regiments, 1 light urban tank regiment, 2 U-infintry regiments, and an engineer regiment headed towards the 23rd. 45 mins after departure they arrived , the 23rd was completly sorounded, being hit from tanks and heavy infintry, the 2 U-infintry regiments attcked the left flank and managed to punch a small gap, north the tank regiment attacked and acheived great success on the unsuspecting enemy infintry. 9 regiments were in the 23rd, 4 rifle infintry, 1 heavy munitions, 1 veteran infintry regiment, 2 engineering regiments, and 2 urban assault regiments attached to the 23rd for this mission. As the tanks headed south and the U-infintry headed north they over ran the enemy defenses, the 23rd turned its full attention on the right flank and began destroying houses with their TT-72 hi explosive gun (basically a rocket launcher made for blowing up houses). An hour after the 1st arrived fighting ceased and the 3 1/2 divisions headed towards Deri to sandwhich the enemy.

is anyone else going to post?

ooc: Sorry I didn't post for a while, my computer was acting up.

ic:
"That would not be completely nessesary. I was quite convinced by General Mendagone that if Heinz..." President Gravistorm nodded at Heinz "Who already knows your armanents and routine formations, were in charge of all of Derivans armed forces, with open communications with the Ulntran Warriors armed forces, this entire operation would operate much more smoothly."

-----------------------------------
The entire 1st Jaguar and Black Diamond Spec. ops. group was pinned downby at least 20 tanks and 40 supporting infantry snipers. The Black Diamonds famous record of deaths was not broken, although many of them and the men and women of the 1st jaguar were heavily wounded. They had managed to make a workable barrier against the tanks and had cut down almost every rebel that had charged them. Now it was a waiting game.

"See anything?" Asked Captain Raynor

"Not yet" Answered Collin Mcdoger. "Wait, here they come!"

"Rifles up!" Yelled Raynor. He pulled out his two atomatic pistols and pointed them at the rebels." Volley!"

The clash was short but brutal. The volley from the Spec. ops. group slowed down the rebels, but did not stop them. The ran over the barrier and into the ranks of the elite soldiers on the other side. Hand-to-hand weapons flashed as men slashed hacked and clawed to survive.

The exeption, rather than the rule, was the Black Diamonds. They stood steady and unleashed a deadly barrage of bullets at the rebels, cutting them down exept where jaguar service-men got in the way. They resorted to hand-to-hand weapons only when the rebels dot so close the could have touched them with their rifles.

Raynor, however kept out one of his pistols and drew his long combat knife. This he threw into the back of a rebel officer, while gunning down two rebels that charged him. He then charged at his knife, firing his atomatic pistol as he went. He flipped his pistol back into it's holster when it clinked on an empty clip. He then drew another pistol and continuid on to his knife. Reaching down, he drew the knife from the back of the rebel and jumped onto another rebel, stabbing vicously at the rebels heart.

------------------------------

"General, the Black diamonds and 1st jaguar are under attack. They have held of the enemys charges, but barely. Do I order men into the battle?" Junior radio officer Calvin Mcdoger asked.

"Yes, send in the 3rd and 5th Jaguar." Answered Mendagone.

ooc: it's ok

ic: "I see, that is quite satisfactory President Gravistorm, I have a question for you, have you heard anything about my Secratary of State Lukof? I lost contact with him during my abduction."

Shells shook the ground as the rebels pounded at the walls of fortress Deri. Around 500 tanks were attacking with around 2500 infintry attcking, they had 2 105mm, 2 90mm, and 1 200mm peice.

after an hour after the attack began, the air force arrived and started strafing and dive bombing the area, the entire area around the walls were almost untouched due to the lack of training for the air force. 7 planes were shot down, and only 50 enemy casualties were taken.

Messer and his squad were advancing down the street, when they heard a massive gun shot. They all looked around, Messer noticed over one of the tops of the buildings was a giant cannon. he told the men to follow him. They all slowly crept around through alleys and streets, until they reached a court yard. Messer quickly peaked around the corner. he ducked back around "100 enemy infintry, 200mm cannon, 2 tanks, both light, were right behind a machine gun post, everyone knows what to do, lets go" Messer and 9 of his men ran out and each hit someone, the gunner was hit, 5 men on the side of the post, 4 men out in front. Messer ran over and got on the 50. cal MG and started mowing troops down, he got 30 of them, his men continued to fire and hit 15 more. The two demo men ran out across the courtyard and each threw a satchel charge under the tanks and ran back, the tanks exploded and 7 rebels were killed. Messer continued to fire, surpressing the enemy forcing them to stay behind cover. the demo men set up explosive on the 200mm they gave the ok and everyone retreated back two streets, the demo men hit the detonator, the 200 was demolished and 20 more enemy soldiers died, the 2 snipers on the roof picked off the rest of the surviving infintry.

The 1st, 7th, 23rd, and 25th all began surounding the enemy, now their was no retreat for the enemy forces.

"Another question, where did the enemy get all these troops, reports showed only 4000 enemys, and we should have killed almost all of them, well where did they get these extra men, and the tanks, not only that buut these are heavy infintry and heavy and meduim tanks, and they have artillery, where did it all come from?"

"Mr.Lukof was found roughly 4 miles away from where you were taken." president Gravistorm asked. "Would you like me to send for him?

The door opened and an officer stepped in and, handing the President a slip of paper, he stepped back out. "I think that I will send the Air squadren based inside fortress Deri to strafe the rebels. Officer."

He looked at an air force officer standing right inside the door." Send in the PH-237's."

-------20 minutes later-----------
" Red's 2 and 3 follow me. 5,6 you're 4's wings." Andrew Fallin gave out orders." Begin your runs."

6 PH-237's fired their machine guns at the rebels converging on fortress Deri. Missiles streaked from holders to crash into tanks and surrounding infantry, while low-altitude bombs went off and devastated the infantry. All of the planes swerved and jumped to avoid the many anti-air weapons being shot at them.

"I'm going down!" Shouted Red 5 as she pulled the eject lever and zoomed to safety moments before her plane blew.

"Base, this is Red 1, pilot down, I repeat, pilot down. Red 4, get Red 5's position." The remaining PH-237's pulled out and continued their runs while Red 4 streaked the coordinates back to base.


--------------------
Red 4 pulled out her pistol and shot the two rebels that had seen her parachute. She ran over and grabbed the big one's rifle and, slinging it on her back, she climbed one of the nearby trees. She saw the many rebels that convereged on her previose position, but, luckily, none of them saw her.


-------inside fortress Deri----------
"Send in a bombing squadren and then helocopters. We can't abandon one of our soldiers." Gartisll Sandtorl was in charge of rescue operations. Even as she said it the first planes rumbled off the runway. The helocopters would follow later. "Let's go!"

"this is getting out of hand" yelled Manoc as he slammed his fists on the table "when this is over remind me to fund the airforce" he paced around a bit working off his anger, sudenly he stopped, made an abrupt about-face, and called for his aid, "Jackson, I want you to give permission to the X-corps for deployment" in a look of half shock and half "are you crazy" "sir are you sure you want to do that?" "I'm the damn president, of course I want to do this!"

20mins later the front gates of fortress deri and a division walked out slowly, they were all clothed in black, all wore black cloaks, you could only see thier feet, a deep hood covered their faces and the cloat covered all but their ankles, one could sense an evil about them. The rebels were in disbelief, it was foolish to send a whole division right in front of them, no cover, walking in nice clean lines, they were too vulnerable, after a min or so the rebels started firing, but the bullets seemed to pass through them, they started firing more frantically, the column was almost on their front line, then one yelled out "HARVESTERS!!!" all the rebels looked in disbelief as the column reached the front line and disappeared. Suddenly men on the front line started to choke and grew pale, as one died you again saw the black figure step over it's body and head towards it's next victim.

about 5 mins after the X-corps were deployed a drop pod landed in fortress deri and Vice-President Daniel Forrest stepped out and ran covering his head into the secure bunker with 10 skirmishers following.

He bursed into the office and yelled "President Joseph Manoc you are hereby under federal arrest for the deployment of the X-corps without proper permission, General Fredrick Heinz you are hereby releaived of your position as Comander in Cheif of the Armed Forces of Derivan in the city of Honor" the 10 skirmishers ran in and 5 surounded the president, 2 were sent to escourt Heinz and the rest stayed with Forrest. He extended his hand towards President Gravistorm "good afternoon sir" he said "aid, recall the X-corps"

About mid 1/8 through the enemy forces they Black soldiers stopped and just turned and left, the entire rebel force was in shock, they just stared in disbelief as the juggernaught just turned and left.

Presodent Gravistorm looked at what had happened to the rebels in horror. Shuddering he took Forrest's hand and gave him a breif, stong hand-shake. "What were those things?"

-------------------------
Red 4 watched as the rebels forces surrounding her were destroyed by prisision bombing fighter/bombers. She jumped to the ground as two Apache helochopters flew over her and killed the rest of the surrounding rebels in salvos of missles and burstes of machine guns. As she jumped into the back of a Hornet helo-jet one of the apaches was hit by anti-air weapons fired by the rebels. The two men inside luckily made it out of the propellers chop-zone when they jumped out, and where promtly picked up by the Hornet. The hornet and the apache rose to a higher altitude quite quikly and sped for fortress Deri, followed by a stream of anti-air barrage from the rebels. They reached the landing zone and set down. As the three passengers hopped out of the plane, they were aproached by Gartisll Sandtorl.

ooc:this is were it gets interesting.

"Those, President Gravistorm, were the X- corps, a division made up of Black Harvesters, as you may or may not know, Harvesters are our countrys animal, they come in all different varietys, they feed on emotions, like there are Harvesters of jelousy, Harvesters of Love, Etc, usually they are coverd in a colorful tatterd cloak, how ever the X-Corps are made up of specially bred Harvesters known as Harvesters of life, they feed off of life, you see when you come intact with a harvester it attaches its soul to ours, and feeds off of a certain feeling, well the Life Harvesters feed on 2 things, life and fear, and they are the only ones with feet, most harvesters, just have hands, and the hands usually reflect the harvester (Bad= wrinkled, evil looking, Good= healthy), the second thing they feed on is fear, when they advance, troops get frantic, and that installs fear, when people just start dying, that strengthens fear. However there has been some controversy with the creation of the X-Corps, we decided to take a meduim from abolishing them and regulating them, a conference must be called and 80% of the voters must agree in the use, the results as you can see from disobeying this law is tremendous" he paused and called out to his aid "I want you to intialize the Jeager and make it quick" "yes sir!" the aid shouted and ran off

20mins later, deep under the mountain in the rear of the fortress a huge tank rumbled to life, it made it's way to the front gate. The Jeager is a Mamoth of a tank, it's 6'10 tall and 22 feet long, 6'2 in width, mounting a 300mm High velocity AP cannon, 6 .50 calibur machine guns (2 on th front, 1 on each side,1 in the rear, 1 on the top of the turret), weighing 300tons, it's armor is Front: 6' Sides:6' Rear: 4'
it has a 9 man crew (1 for each gun, 1 for cannon, 1 driver, 1 co-driver.
it has a max speed of 50mph on roads and 40 off road.
It's armor is slanted to deflect rockets and bullets.

The Jeager lumberd forward towards the gate and halted at the front, a small slit opened and the Jeager went forward and putting the muzzle through the opening opened fire on the rebels. the first shot blew a crater in the ground sending bodys flying everywhere, the next shot was not as effective, but it still did massive amounts of damage

The 25th raced south with the 7th, they reached the rebels left rear guard withing the hour and were hit hard by withering fire from machine gun posts and anti-tank guns at chike points that could not be by-passed.

The 23rd and the 1st were faring a bit better, they hit the right rear rebel flank only a few minetes later, but the right was much less prepared than the left, they punched holes in the rebel lines and surounded resistance.

Messer and his squad ran throught the street and noticed a whole pack of infintry, he motioned that he saw about 50 infintry. He told his men to fan out, and his snipers to get on the buildings. A min or so later they opend fire instantly killing 20 of them, a second later 13 were dead, withing 5 mins all the 50 were killed and Messer continued on his way to get into Deri.

"Mr. Lukof what do you want me to do?" asked the rebel general Hri're " I want you to send your "Patchwork" division around outside of town and into the back of Deri, and I want you to send your 3 other divisions into action and cut off the 23rd and 1st divisions, once those are out of the way we can hit the 25th and 7th" "A sound plan, but what should I do with my 2 remaining divisions, the "Black Panther" and the "Red tide" divisions?" "what ever you want, but once Fortress Deri is out of the way, nothing will stop us from taking over Honor and holding it ransom, for the Confederacy would not destroy the very city it worked so hard to get, and once we have the city we shall build up our forces, rebuild Deri, and take over all of the confederacy!"

ooc: Lukof is evil and in cahoots with the rebels, he also with them in their new H.Q. in the northern part of town

ooc: I guess Lukof wasn't found.
ic----------------------
Gartisll Sandtorl walked up to Red 5(whose name is actually Sandy Laurell).

"Sandy, remember when we had you working on the G-47 Sandwalker project?" Asked Gartisll Sandtorl

"Yes."

"You are to report to General Mendagone imediatlly."

"Yes, commander."

---------60 minutes later-------------
4 heavy drop planes flew over the rebel positions outside of Fortress Deri, flanked by about 20 helo-jets. Helo-jets where a helocopter/jet fighter mix that had worked well for the airforce and was being adopted by all air unites.

As the heavy drop planes realesed their loads, the helo-jets dove after the 8 round capsules. They quikely over took them and slowed and then stopped about twenty feet above the ground. They then proceded to sweep the area free of rebels, taking minimal losses. seeing that all 8 of the capsules were safe, flight commander ordered the helojets to make for the saftey of altitude.

----------------------------
"Run!" A rebel heavy machine-gunner looked to where the voice sounded from and swiftly swung his gun to cover the abominations coming from the trees behind him.

--------------
"Gunner, over there." Sandy Laurell pointed to a machine gunner swinging his gun torward the 8 G-47 sandwalkers. A quick burst of machine guns eliminated the threat. The G-47 was a two-person combat Mech. It had missle pods slung over it's shoulders and a machine-gun mounted on its chest. It's hands could grab trees with enough power to rip them out by the roots and fling them at opponents. The feet could propel the Mech at a faster clip that any tank and the Guided missles attached to it's back could preusade most air enemies to distance themselves from the Sandwalker.

the eight G-47s advanced into the rebel forces, leading a force of paratroops that cut down down and eliminated those that the Sandwalkers missed.

ooc: i'll post more later.

ooc: sorry thought you said he was located five miles away from where Manoc was taken prisoner and that he was yet too be rescued.

ic: Major Friz laughed to himself as he watched the giant mechs over run enemy positions "alright boys were going over the top" he said and lifted up the radio "Crane crew this is jeager, we are ready for departure, over" "agknowloged jeager, over" a giant crane came from the inside of the wall and reached over, grappled onto the jeager and slowly lifted up and over the immense and battered wall onto the ground infront of it. "Thanks for the lift boys" "any time Friz", the jeager lumbered off after the advancing mechs and turned to hit the exposed left flank and fired a round into the sand bag bunker, sending the 5 man crew of a anti-armor gun into the air, the machine guns simultaneously opened up on the rebels, ripping down exposed soldeirs. "high velocity anti tank gunner too the left!" "yes sir!" the left machine gun turned and opened fire on the 3 man crew of rocket man, loader, and observer and slaughtered them. The jeager sped off doing just as effecient job at killing.

Lukof slammed his hands down on the table "damn it!" he face was turning red and he was throwing things everywhere. "I want you too put your entire anti tank corp on getting rid of those mechs, NOW!" he screamed out.

Messer heard a heavy rumble coming down the street, he peaked out from an ally way, he saw tanks rumbling with thier turrets turned firing off at their rear and infintry scrambled, screaming and dashing for cover, as the tanks rumbled by it was left quiet. "What th hell?..." messer said outloud, "this is very wierd, why would they just retreat after making in assault like that?" suddenly a heavier rumble was felt, a crashing could be heard. Messer peaked out again and saw the Jeager soming down the street, the jeager was taking off the sides of the buildings. "what the hell is that? must be ours." he jumped into the street and held a hand, the immense tank rolled to a stop and a hatch opened, a young man poped his head up " what the hell are you doing all the way out here? are you from the 25th?" seeing the major badge on the mans neck he replied "no sir, this is a detachment from the 23rd, we were sent in as a special forces group to take the enemy H.Q., we accomplished this task and were in the process of returning to Deri but were slowed down but enemy troops." Friz looked at him curiously "son we were cut off, the enemy sent 3 divisions of men and attcked Deri itself, hop on, were driving their forces, and we need some supporting infintry, there's room inside this tank for you and your men" Messer nodded and called out his squad, they climbed up the tank and dropped into the hatch and tried as best they could to make themselves comfortable.

They rumbled off and they could hear the machine gun blasts of the mechs "it's beautiful too hear those guns" Messer said too himself.

The 25th was just about to make it's break through on the rear gaurd when troops and tanks arrived from the front and set up more defenses to hold off the jeager and the mechs. The success made by the 1st and the 23rd now was made undone as enemy reinforcements surged into their forces pusig them back, they too set up positions to hit back at the mechs.

"Liutenant send in flights two and three."

"Yes, sir."

-----------------
Eight heavy drop planes flew in formation around the rebel positions and released their loads. This time, 40 helo-jets dove after them and took out enemy positions to close to the emerging Mechs. 20 of the Helo-jets took of in search of the Jeager, while the other 20 stayed to give the Mechs air cover. 8 of the Mechs took off in one direction, the others in another. The remaining helo-jets split up and followed the mechs as they slaughtered the rebels, firing missles at tanks, taking out whole sections of infantry with the machine guns, and flung uprooted trees at heavy weaponry emplacements.
--------------
"Jeager, this is helo-jet flight 20." Said Captain Johl towr "We were told that you might use some air cover.Over."

The twenty helo-jets split into 4 groups of five and flew around the jeager in search of hidden rebel assault squads. They found many.
--------------
"Those rebels should've thought thing over before attacking Deri." President Gravistorm said to President Forrest. " They won't survive much longer."

An aid entered the room, handed President Gravistorm a folded peice of paper, and exited.

"Ah, it seems that some of our worries are over. A large group of rebels just surrendered to the 1st Jaguar and black diamonds. Amazing, that groups tendency not to be killed. They were in the heaviest fighting, yet only sustained minimal injuries." President Gravistorm sighed "Amazing."

----------------
Of the first 8 dropped Mechs, 7 survived. Because of cleverly laid mines, It's crew was killed and the Mech ruined in seconds.The Paratroopers had sustained little casualties, perhaps because of the terrifying Mechs moving in the front.
----------------
"We'll head back to Deri, you just hold onto those prisoners." Jim Raynor stood up from the city park bench were he had been sitting " We'll get you some transports."

A quick motion from Raynor had his entire squad moving behind him. The worst injury amoung them was a long scratch one of the demolitions men had obtained when blowing a tank with satchels.

The jeager continued down the streets "Thanks for the help"

As the jeager continued down the street it ran over a mine, when it exploded, the jeager jumped, but recieved no damage from it. bouncing from the mines it continued down the road.

As the Jeager reached the main lines of the rebels it began recieving immense anti armor fire and heavy machine guns were firing all around. Anti-Aircraft came screaming from the ground, tracers were lighting up the sky, thought it was still mid noon, flak cannons and machine gun rounds ripped through the sky.

The jeager pointed its main gun at the AA guns and shot the forst one to peices, it continued firing at the AA guns until they were silenced, it then turned it's attention of the RPG's, Anti tank guns, and Tanks, it fired it's cannon at a group of 5 RPGS standing next to 3 anti armor guns and fired, annhilating them all, the machine guns ripped through the enemy infintry as the Jeager continued.

The Jeager rammed full speed into the enemy linesand parked right in the middle of their troops. Lead poured out from the jeager as 5 of the .50 cal machine guns ripped up infintry, and the main cannon picked off armor and vehicles.

"Well President Gravistorm, it would see that our victory is inevitable, with the Jeager and the Mechs out the enemy troops are being destroyed much faster than anticipated, I'll call for some drinks, and then i must be going, for i have matters to attend to now that i am President along with some Ghaling* that needs to be done, Aid bring myself and President Gravistorm some wine will you?" "yes sir" the aid walked off to get the drinks.

A slight drone could be heard over the city, as it grew louder a small black speck could be seen above the city, slowly it seemed to slow down over the rebel lines, it then dived at the rebel positions, from high up it dropped it's bombs, and returned to whence it came, but a sharp metal squeak could be heard, as the bombs got closer it turned to a drilling noise. As the bombs hit the ground they blew craters a city block wide and flung the helpless rebels into the air. Not one shot was fired at the high flying dive bombers.

5 mins later
"Harvester 1 checking in" "Harvester 2 checking in" "harvester 3 checking in" "ok boys were dropping our payload right on their lines, climb to 100,000 feet" "roger" "roger" "altitude reached, ok boys arm the bombs, bomb 1 check, bomb 2 check" "bombs 1 and 2 check" "bomb 1 and 2 check" "alright men lets dive!" The 3 X-1 high level bive bombers dived, using a beacon left from the first bomber, the X-1's steepend their dive heading straight down "ok bombs 1 and 2 are go, dropped" the lead X-1 dropped it's bombs and pulled out of it's dive, the other X-1's turned to the side and dropped theirs off the the side of the first 2 and pulled out and joined back up with the leader "good job boys lets go back and get re armed" The X-1 group returned to it's air field as 5 more X-1's were getting set too leave.

The 6 bombs ripped into the earth, all far enough apart too hit 6 blocks, these bombs however were deadlyer then the ones dropped by the first plane and used double the explosives. As the hit the ground the Drills ripped into the eath 10 feet before hitting clay and blowing up. Once again not one shot wsa fired by the rebel anti-aircraft gunners.

* Derivinian for breathing room

"I'm sorry, I don't drink wine. It's prohibited in Ulntran Warriors, and I agree wholeheartedly with the law." Said President Gravistorm. "And I agree with you, the rebels will soon be defeated."

------------------------New Rebel Headquarters---------------------------
"How can we defeat these Mechs and the Jeager?" Asked one of the rebel generals. "We just don't have the fire power."

"We will win because of our great numbers" Answered Lukoff

"What numbers?" Snapped the Rebel Generals. "The ones the Governments have killed?"

"..." Lukoff stood wordless. Two seconds later, the door burst open to admit Cptn. Jim Raynor.

"Hands up!" Raynor yelled, pointing the two pistols in his hands at the Rebel General and Lukoff. The Heavy assault part of his group poured into the room after him, while from the window the recon and sniping parts of his group slid in.

"We'll kill you, Idiot." Said Lukoff.

"No." Jim Raynor said. Moments later bullets were heard in the hallway.

"Dead." Said one of Raynor's other team members, who had put his head into the room. "As well as the 50 perimeter gaurds."

"..." For the second time in less than a minute, Lukoff stood wordless.

"Let's take 'em to Deri" Said Cptn. Raynor.
-----------------------------Fortress Deri---------------------------------
"We put the prisoners into holding cells 5 and 19" Said Raynor, to General Mendagone.

"Good, I'll take it from here."

ooc: this looks like a good place to stop. You post once more, and i'll finish it.

ooc: good idea.

"I see, I gereraly only serve wine for special occations" an aid came up and whispered into Forrests ear, sudenly forrests calm face turned to anger "WHAT!?!?!?!!? you can't be serious! Lukof? that little......take me to him now, I'm sorry I have just become aware that my secretary of state is the leader of the rebel forces" Forrest stood up and followed the aid to the cells.

"Lukof.....hmm well it would see that we have the rebel leader in our hands, just tell me, why? you were secretary of state, you had it all" "on the contrary Forrest, Manoc was a corrupt mad man, you are just as bad as him, you will do anything for power, i was trying to release Derivan from such Tryanny, but it would seem that corruption blinds us all" "HA! you are a fool, you have proved something very valubul to me today, the weaknesses in my military, now that you have shown me I can retrain them and invade-" "Mister president, the Jeager has broken through rebel lines, it is in the process of rolling over the reminants." "Good, have the infintry go house to house and secure the area, i don't want any servivors, no prisoners, make this a sign to the people that rebellion will not be tollerated" "yes sir" the aid walked off to the com tower.

he jeager ran at half speed shoot madly at anything that moved, any one not shot was run over, behind the jeager infintry from the 1st came in and went house to house and the 7th, 23rd and 25th sealed off the area and picked off any rebels in the area, any civilians who looked suspicious were shot on site, check points were set up, the entire area was cut off from the world.

Messer pulled himself out of the tank, grabbed his rifle and hid behind the jeager, he peecked out and picked off a few rebels who were retreating along the line to try to mount some kind of defense. As the rebels bunched up in their retreat, the jeager fired off and blew them away, the juggernaught of the jeager and the mechs continued. Infintry rushed from house to house, throwing smoke grenades in and breaking down the door, then going from room to room, any one found helping a rebel was killed, any one with a weapon was shot with out looking back.

The Jeager contiunued on slowly picking off rebels left and right, it was no longer a fight, it was a slaughter.

As the rebel forces started to notice that anyone trying to surrender to derivian soldiers was killed, they headed in droves toward the Mech and 1st parachute division. They were than transfered to camps in wich they would be asked why they did what they did, then turned loose, killed, or kept prisoner. However, one of the large convoys carrying rebels was destroyed with missles launched from subs that avoided radar and where never tracked. The main rebelion was over. However, mop-up operations were continued for at least 4 months, occupying many U.W. soldiers, yet few Derivian soldiers.

At an address to the military forces engaged in Honor, President Gravistorm was shot by a rebel sniper. He survived his wound, yet never fully regained full use of his left leg, where the sniper's bullet had hit. The rebel sniper was not captured, and tried again to assasinate Gravistorm. The sniper missed President Gravistorm, but revealed his position to the waiting Flieg. The sniper was killed quickly and silently.

Captain Jim Raynor, of Black Diamond, received a commendation for retreiving President Manoc, and capturing Rebel leader, former Secretary of State Lukoff. His entire squad was reassigned to leadership positions, each ordered to form their own versions of the Black Daimonds. That battalion of men was code-named Diamond.

General Mendagone, instramental in the defeat of the rebels, commented, "The rebels of the city Honor were real fighters, taking the fight to us again and again. I hold utmost respect for them in the honor that they showed, allthough I can never forgive them for rebelling against this Confederacy of Honor!"
