-= the Supreme Diety looked at his message screen in disbelief. They were actually seeing themselves as more then children, and they had even gone so far as the insult the terrianvorn empire, calling them "lap dogs"

He shook his head, amused by the whole thing. He tapped up his comms and activated his personal vessal, as well as his personal guard, the BlackDeath. He would go and visit this region, personally. He sent a message out to the regional government there =-

Greetings, this is the Supreme Diety of Slinao. I have accepted your offer to come and visit your region. I would like to meet all the leaders of your region, and personally greet and talk to each one.

I will be bringing with me my personal bodyguards, the number only 100,000 in their number. Don't worry, this is a peaceful visit, I only wish to protect myself from those that wish to assassinate me, like my late brother.

-= the signal ended, with the supreme diety smiling =-

-= "...more than children..." the Under-Secretary could not believe the arrogance of the Supreme Diety, why send a country into a region just to destabilize it? Unless...unless that was the intention from the start? But why? Or was this whole international affair a collection of poor communication and poor fortune?

Damian just did not know. What he did know was that the Supreme Diety was impervious to sarcasim, no matter a face to face meeting would help speed up finding a diplomatic solution to this whole mess. Now the whole issue of 100 000 potentially hostile troops on home territory so soon after a rather dangerous spy was apprihended in Windolene had to be addressed!
The Under-Secretary flashed through a message to Slinao=-

The people of Schleppel send their kind regards to the Supreme Diety of Slinao, your arrival is eagerly anticipated as there are a number of serious issues to discuss. Although you will not be allowed to enter free NoARC territory and especially Schleppel with your 100 000 troops, as you know we are in the process of interrogating the spy from your region adding more potential for a possible clash if your troops wander off. You will have nothing to fear from any rebellious elements from Terrianvorn as we have sealed off our borders since the exchange and have rounded up and Terrianvornians already outside the Empire for processesing.

If you fear for your person then we will allow 10 bodygaurds into our region who will be suplimented with 10 of my own Republican Guards who will be at your complete disposal, your saftey is of my utmost concerne as I need you to be alive to discuss how exactly we are to proceed from our current collision course.

-= How would he/she respond? Well only time would tell...speaking of time the Under-Secretary suddenly remembred how tired he was, too many long, sleepless nights in the Situational center, "Smug bastard" thought Damian as weariness washed over him=-

-= the Supreme Diety reviewed his messages aboard his ship and smirked. These people obviously didn't realize just how many people would use this chance to assassinate him. He would not take the risk of being guarded by so few, and those untrained. He tapped out a message to his BlackDeath, telling them to prepare only the top 25 troops. He would go with no less. =-

Nation of Schleppel, I have reviewed your responce, but must turn down your offer of mixing your troops with mine. I am a man that has picked up enemies, because people claiming to hide behind democracy and free choice have tried to use their military against me. Already my brother lays in his grave from such people, when we got attacked for punishing traitors in our own land.

I will limit my guard to 25, with the rest being on alert in the Empire of Terrianvorns. They will wait on the other side of the border, and if anything goes wrong, they will enter any airspace that I am in to retrieve me. They will be under orders to attack only those that are open hostile against me. I do not think your people would be hostile against you, but that doesn't mean others won't be.

I request to bring 3 military vehicles into your land, to escort me. One will be my personal ground vehicle, and the other two will be simple anti-personnel tanks. They too will not have any orders to open fire unless I am attacked first. They are more for show of defense then anything else.

I will arrive very shortly, landing in the Empire of Terrianvorns, where I will give a speech to the Empire's people, which will raise their moral, and help root out any rebels, though I doubt any remain...alive.

-= he sent his broadcast and tacked on a file regarding the two tanks =-
-=APHT (http://www.geocities.com/infinitespeckofperplexion/APHT.html)

*the government leaders looked at the comms station with startled looks. Had their ears just betrayed them, had the Supreme Diety just said he was going to visit both the Empire and the Regional government. The were both proud and worried at the same time. The Supreme Diety moved in hidden ways, and for him to make a public speech in the Empire would be sure to stir up national morale.

the security chief quickly started setting up for the visit, security had to be tight, airforces had to be primed and in perfect working order. They would work double time to get all the airfields up and running again. They would not fail their Deity again.

The President got dressed, and made his way to the broadcast station and he started his announcment*

"People of the Empire, our Supreme Diety will soon grace us with his presence upon our soil. He wishes to come here, and make a grand announcement to his children, as well as address the leaders of this region.

Long have we been faithful to our great Diety, and long have we listened to his laws. Now we will see him, in our great nation, and he will be pleased. Preperations are being made even as I speak to better this nation for the great visit, our Father will be proud of his children.

*the screen fades out, playing the national anthem and flying both the Slinao flag and the Terrianvorns*

-=Well, at least it was a start, 25 guards could be handled…perhaps this was a positive sign of things to come. But as usual with politics the Under-Secretary knew not to read too much into an action such as this. Memories of the ruler of the Principality of Weldrick sprung to mind…Damian would never forget the clowns…never…

Coming back to the present Damian prepared a response to the Supreme Diety=-

I thank you for your co-operation on the matter of your guard size, I have taken the liberty to order up 200 of my Republican Guards who will form a protective cordon around your motorcade, I will also be providing top cover with helicopter gunships and Su-37 interceptors and an E-4 Sentry II will ensure we have no uninvited guests dropping by.

I hope this is in order.

Damian=-

-=The time drew near.=-

-= the supreme diety looked at the responce and smiled. he didn't mind the extra troops the other government was going to have up, it would mainly be for show, the Supreme Diety would probally do something simalar if anyone ever graced his homeland. He had his intelligence look up on the types of aircraft that were mentioned and shrugged, nothing to worry about.

He then brought up the speech from the President of the Terrianvorns, and smiled again. He enjoyed being praised by his children, and he enjoyed being respected. It seemed that things would go well this visit, perhaps good things to come.

He tapped on his comm and sent a message to Schleppel's nation, he set it to broadcast on known radio waves, so that the people of the nation would hear the message as well. =-

The Supreme Diety of Slinao is pleased that an agreement could be made, and will look forward to meeting your fine government. If you are as agreeable in person as you have shown in transmissions, then things have a hope of advancing, and if you are as agreeable as your last transmission, then that hope is real.

I will personally give a gift to the Region, and I will deliver it in person to the government body upon my arrival. This will be a new era for all those involved, and I hope it will never be forgotten.

-= the transmission ended, showing the Slinao flag flying as well as the flags of NoArc. =-

President looks at the message from the supreme diety and smiles. Is there a chance of an alliance and peace with Slinao and Terrianvorns. The President and picks up the Phone and orders his plane to ready to depart for Schleppel. He then hangs up and proceeds to send out a broadcast to Schleppel.

"I will be leaving at 1100hrs, i will be bring 10 of my most loyal guards as well as my own personnal ground transport. My military will be ready to attack if anything happens to me. I will arrive in Schleppel at about 1400 hrs.

President of Windolene
RSA"

Then the President then proceeds to send a message to the supreme diety...

" I am pleased that you could to our region, this will be an honour to have have you here. I feel we have a lot to talk about and hopefully we will talk about about Alliance, rather than a mutual arangement that we have now. I feel there is a lot that we can offer each other, we could open up trade routes. Do you like Trout? i have a big market in it :) . Then there is the joint military options we can open up, such as training together. With all our combined force there is a much better chance of survival if we get invaded. The finer details can be discussed at the meeting.

President of Windolene
RSA"

The president sits back in his chair hoping there is a chance.....

As the President of the Nation of P-40Aces, read the prior messages, a great feeling came over him, maybe there was hope afterall. Hope that the nations of Slinao, Terrianvorns, Schleppel, Windolene, and P-40Aces could live side-by-side togeather in peace. Hope that these nations could eventually come to trust each other, and open up there boarders to one another, profiting from the tade and commerce they would bring to each other....
And this meeting might just do the trick.
Eventhough, there had been much tension in the past two weeks between Windolene, Schleppel, P-40Aces and Slinao and Terrianvorns, President Ace Redick was looking forward to meeting these, two great leaders, immensly.
He just hoped his internet connection wouldn't go out on him again like earlier that day.
...Everything had to be perfect for their arrival, for he wished to make a good impression on Slinao and Terrianvorns.
This would be a big day for NoARC, and for the nation of P-40Aces.
As he sat back in his chair, he thought how nice it would be if these nations could resolve their differences and become friends.

Even on the peaceful day that was about to come, he would have to up the security levels of his nation and temporarily close his boarders to everyone. He had already received threats of bombings by some unknown terrorist group, if P-40Aces went to the meeting. Ace Redick wasn't affraid though, 6 of the estimated 7 terrorist members had already been captured, and the last one was reported dead, frozen solid in a block of ice, in Antartica. How he got there, Ace did not know.
He hoped the other nations would understand. He did not, after all, mean this as a hostile action, just a safety precaution, with the lives of his people, Slinao, and Terrianvorns in mind.


And with that, he stopped typing, got up from his laptop, and went to get a Coke.


-Ace Redick
NoARC, Secretary of Defense

-= the jets landed on the Terrianvorns main airport outside the new capitol. It seemed like thousands of black armored soldiers had landed first, an hour earlier, and set up a parimeter. The number was actually 100,000 soldiers, the Black Death, the Supreme Diety's personal bodyguards, pulled from duty in the Slinao capitol to be here today.

The Terrianvorns stood ready, it seem every citizen of the Empire had come out to meet him. Those that couldn't make it stood around the town squares of all the empire. They would see a holo projection of the speech, broadcasted live to all nations under the rule of the Supreme Diety. This would be a day to remember..

As the plane landed the national anthem played and fireworks went off, the plane stopped and the doors opened, and a platform lowered. 15 black death guards exited the plane, then everything went silent, and the Supreme Diety exited the plane. All over the nation, Terrianvorns bowed, kneeling on the ground. The only ones left standing were the black death, though they had lowered thier eyes. The Supreme Diety walked down the stairs and walked to the prepared stage.

He walked up the stairs, while the people still bowed, his 25 Black Death surrounding him still, keeping a watch out for anything that could be hostile. He stood behind the podium and spoke a simple command to his people, -= all rise =- -= The terrianvorns all raised and cheered, seeing their supreme diety on the stage, then they hushed themselves as he motioned for his speech to start. =-

"People of the Empire and of the Church of the Great Serpent, today is a day of new beginnings and new ends. Today is a day that the clerics have told me that the great dragon star has entered alignment with the Great Serpent and has chosen this time and spot to tell us that we will carry this nation into a new power.

I will meet with the leaders of this Region, and bless them with a gift, a gift from the gods themselves, granted to the minds of our science clerics. It will be a gift long remember, and long shared. The Empire of Terrianvorns will grow and its strength will greaten. I have ordered that 100 military factories be opened within the month, the HoverTanks will be made here, and the nation will prosper, we will open trades with the region, and they too will prosper in our wake.

And as an added bonus to the people of Terrianvorns, we have a cleansing to do.

-= he motioned to his black death, and the brought up the coup leader, he was bound with chains, and his mouth was sewn shut, he looked tired and pale =-

The traitor that would bring death to my children, to you, my warriors, has been found, and confessed. He has taken the mark of a traitor, his lies will never be heard again, and his soul will soon depart us all. He has chosen his death, and he wishes to go before the Great Serpent in the ever after and plead his cause to the Divine Diety, our spiritual father.

-= the Black Death moved the man over to a glass chamber that raised up from the stage, and they set him inside, the Supreme Diety walked over and dropped some tablets into the chamber, and it filled with tiny snakes, that quickly entered the man through his nose and ears. Within moments the body limped forward, and seemed to vanish into a writhing mass of snakes. =-

Now his departed soul will stand trial for the deaths he caused, and the dishonor he has brought.

-= the crowds cheered and the Supreme Diety motioned for them to stop again =-

Now I must go and meet with the Regional Governement and bring honor from his dishonor, and life from his death.

-= he walked down from the stage, smileing. Mentally he felt everything was going well. His guards had scanned the area and found nothing too out of place, though they had picked up read outs of vehicles being moved at the borders of some of the regional nations, he would have to ask what it was. He walked over to his waiting vehicle, and got in, and the tanks embarked for the border, getting there within the hour =-

-= The Prince read the reports with a growing sense of delight, all that prattling between Schleppel, Windolene, Terrianvorns and Slinao was proving to be quite beneficial. Yet again the winds of fortune had blown in his favour, masking what was to come...And now it brought an unexpected ally, one that will be rather helpful l=-
-=...Yes indeed...=- -= their hatred for Slinao and his "puppet" born out of the great devastation they had inflicted on their nation was all that was needed, he smiled =- -=...Hmph...=- The Neetvillians jumped at the offer of special forces troops, arms and the Principality’s finest chemical engineers.

Those very same engineers had produced a new binary nerve agent, quite a delightful little mix of nasty chemicals that would render a target dead within seconds =-
-= Delightful…hmm yes… =-

-= Royal intelligence had confirmed that 2 of Schleppel’s Quick Reaction Forces (QRFs) had been moved from the border of the Principality and moved south to the nation of Windolene. This left the entire frontier guarded by a few police and military personnel, they would be no match for the Prince’s shock troops, who were already moving up to the jump off point of the invasion.

Soon, soon the whole pathetic region would pay for their ignorance of the Prince Vetinary I, GLORY OR DEATH!!

The Prince tapped out his orders =- -=

To my valiant forces, we are on the brink of our greatest conquest! The domination of Schleppel and the subjugation of her populace! Tomorrow the entire REGION!

TAKE NO PRISONERS!!! RAPE, PILLAGE AND BURN!!! CLEANSE THESE
LANDS OF THOSE WHO ARE INFERIOR TO US!!!

GLORY OR DEATH!!! =-

-= Yes indeed glory or death?

Next came an encoded message to his ally =-

-=Are the preparations for this auspicious visit nearly complete, it would be a shame to let such an important person down. Yes indeed.

Prince Vetinary I=-

Once again his heat quickened at the thought of the coming
mailstrom…

The unknown ally reviles him self with encoded message.

"The republic of Neetleville hovel is ready we have the ground troop on the east coast of Windolene. We have a fleet on the west side of Windolene drawing out there forces and are awaiting for the go ahead."

The president of Windolene unknown to any of this happening in his land, is already on his way to Schleppel to meet Supreme Diety. Sends a message to Schleppel.

"we are running ahead of what we planned, so expect us at 1000hrs. If you don't mind."

He ends brroadcast.

The Prince flashed off a message to Neetville,

"We have a go, cleanse the earth destroy everthing!"

The die was cast...

-= the Supreme Deity's procession reached the border. The road ahead of him had been prepared for him. An archway had been built at the border, made of black stone, it was carved with blessings in the ancient slinao tongue.

The Supreme Deity smiled, he enjoyed it when his children showed their devotion to him. He also enjoyed how the customs were remembered, blessing the leader as he goes out to those outside and joining in hands together.

As the crossed the border, nearly all the troops stopped, only 25 of the Black Death crossed over, those close to the tanks. They were armed with the typical assualt rifles, as well as body armor. They wore blacked helmets, none of their faces could be seen. They were more for ceremonial purposes, if anyone dared to assualt the Supreme Deity, the tanks would open fire, taking out most ground troops.

Air assualt is what the Deity worried about, he had a flight of attack aircraft ready in Terrianvorns in case it happened, but he had told them not to fly cover to show his trust to the Regional government. He had armed his troops with weapons that could defend against both, so he had little concern.

He brought up the map display, and checked it, they were procedeing on time to the meeting grounds. They would follow the instructions on path and time. They were a people of precision, and they would show this to all that wished to see.

He sent an encoded message to both the Terrianvorns and the government he was to meet, letting them know his progress =-

*the Terrianvorns command received the message, and relayed it to the Black Death that stood on standby. Tensions were high, the Supreme Diety hadn't ventured into outside lands with so little protection before. The Black Death air division stood on constant ready. The jet engines could be heard burning, but not going active. Radar opts watched the skys, and anything that was out of place was reported and checked up on.

The Military Chief was pacing in his new office, he had a constant report stream coming in, keeping him up to date on everything. If a soldier sneezed he was to know about it. He would not fail his Supreme Diety again, he would make sure of it.

He brought up the status of the Terrianvorns Shadow Opts, the intelligence department of the Empire. They had been chasing rumors of rebellion in the region, but had not been able to track anything down. They had been working long and hard to track them down, but without causing further tensions in other nations. They were limited in their means to gather information, and the Chief didn't like it. He liked knowing what was going on in the private sectors, but here he was operating in the dark.

The nation's status was high alert, and the military had come to the streets, both for show of loyality, but in case things went bad, you populace had to know there was still order. Without order, things would fall apart, and that would not go well in this Empire.*

The president of Neetleville hovel sent an encoded message to Prince that the they where ready and beginning the attack. Then sent an Encoded message to the lead Destroyer
“Captain this is high command! Operation free NoARC is a go destroy any naval vessels in your path”

The message stops.

In Windolene radar pick up 1 unknown ship crossing the boarder. The sergent on the radar pick up the phone and repeated clear and fast:

“Sir we have an unknown vessel crossing our boarder”

In less than a 60 seconds for saying the room was a buzz
The senior officer then said
“What vessels do we have close by”

“Only WMS Windolene, as of yet she has not even done her sea trials.”

The senior officer walked over to the phone
“Admiral! We have an unknown vessel just crossing our boarder.”

“So dispatch a ship to see who dares cross our boarder.”

“I would admiral but we have no vessels availably except WMS Windolene sir, but she has not even done her sea trials yet.”

“Well she will now send her out.”

“Aye aye sir.”
He put the phone down from the admiral, then ordered

“Ok put the base at alert and put WMS Windolene to see straight away.”

“Sir”

“Yes”

“Don’t you think it is weird that the Supreme Deity comes, then we have unknown vessels crossing our boarder?”

“Yes it is but for now lets concentrate at the job at hand.”

Off the coast of Windolene the Unknown ships still head for the harbour. WMS Windolene the newest asset of the Windolene naval forces, not even gone though her sea trials was put to sea. It took ten mins for Windolene to get to the Unknown ship, they hailed the unknown ship, which ignored the hail and opened fire with a warning shot across the bow. The captain in the conning tower shouted down the mic “The bastards are shooting at us! Emergency dive”

It took a couple of minutes for the sub to dive, the unknown ship had been identified, as the NAS Homeland a Neetleville destroyer, was right on top of them. The captain said over loudspeaker:

“Go to battle station, sonar where is the bastard?”

“Con sonar, I have him heading off to the east, his sonar is not active yet”

Ding

“Con sonar he has gone active”

“Ok chief bring me behind this bitch”

“Aye, aye captain”

“Con sonar target is turning and heading straight towards us”

“Chief deeper takes us 150meters”

“Aye captain”

“Steady as she goes chief”

“Aye captain! Steady as she goes”

“Xo I want a firing solution on this guy”

“Captain we are at 150feet”

“Thanks chief”

“Con sonar the target is right above us! There is also something else I can’t quit make out”

“What do you think it is son?”

“ At a guess I would say it is another destroyer”

“Get on and try and find out what it is son, I don’t like being caught with my pants down”

“Aye sir”
The sonar boy took 2 or 3 minutes to identify the other contact, which turned out be correct it was a second Destroyer.

“Chief take us north”

“Aye, aye captain due north”

WMS Windolene went north for about 3 mins before heading south again.

“Chief take us to periscope depth”

“Aye, aye captain make my depth 60feet”

WMS Windolene was now at a depth of 60Feet the captain raise the periscope and had both destroyers in his sight. The rules of engagement was clear “only fire if fired apron”. The captain armed four of the vertical launch tubes; the weapon officer took the bearings for the targets.

“Captain we have the targets locked, the anti ship cruise missiles are ready to fire on your command!”

“Fire the cruise missiles “

Within 60 secs of ordering the launch the cruise missiles where on there way to the target. All missiles hit their target; the ships where engulfed in an almighty fireball, both ship where destroyed. The captain ordered the sub to the surface to pick up survivors. It took nearly 45 minutes to pick up the survivors, once all the survivors where aboard WMS Windolene headed for home. While all eyes where on the sea battle, 4 C-130’s where dropping Neetlvillians Spec forces and Para troops with the intent to invade Terrianvorns to stop Slinaos troops from being able to get Slinao out of Schleppel.

TO BE CONTINUED

As Ace Redick, sat in front of his screen, he could hardly believe
it....Windolene had been attacked again, and the WMS Windolene had passed the sea trials with flying colors. All of a sudden, General Grant burst through the door, "Sir!"

"Yes, General?"

"We have spotted over 100 aircraft crossing our borders, and 3 Serpent
Class destroyers just off the coast of Haraca headed for our shores."

"What nationality?"

"We do not know, sir."

"Find out," commanded the President.

The General quickly turned on his heal, and left the room. This was a
breach of nationalsecurity, at the highest level. Were these invaders tied in with Operation Free NoARC, somehow? Ace did not know, for sure.

The General returned, "Sir, they hold the Nerus nationality."
Ace knew, that the Neriuns were allies with the Neetlevilleians and
therefore, they planed to attack P-40Aces just as a by-stander, to draw attention away from the real operation going on in Terrianvorns.

Ace had already warned Emperor Nerus several times that his boarders
would be closed during Slinoa's visit to the region, and that all intruders would be appropriatly dealt with. Emporer Nerus had ignored the warning, and now he pay for his ignorance. And dearly, at that, for one of the destroyers spotted, was the newly developed and completely untested, USS Servo.

"Take them out," commanded the President with an evil grin.


***** *****

[ABOARD THE HMS NEMISIS]

"HMS Nemisis, do you read? Do you read?"

"Yes FoxHole1, we read you."

"You are ordered to take out all enemy ships crossing our boarders, or
within the vicinity."

"We copy that, FoxHole1."

The Comms were once again silent. Admiral Jones looked around the
control room of the newest sub, the Nemisis, recently added to P-40Aces growing fleat of nuclear class submarines.

"Sir, we have spotted 3 Serpent Class Destroyers, due North."

"Range? Nationality?"

"5,000 meters and closing, and they appear to be Nerus battle cruisers,
sir."

"Enable the cloaking device," commanded the Admiral, "and I want
somebody to hail them!" The submarine suddenly became very active.

"Two minutes to cloaking!" called out the systems operator.

"Hailing failed, sir. They aren't responding."

"Two minutes to cloaking, is too long! We'll be within their radar in
one minute! Dive the sub!" ordered the Admiral.
As they dove deeper the sub deeper into the ocean, they could still
hear the definate ping of the destroyers just ahead.

"Sir, cloaking is enabled."

"Alright than, pull to port, and get up right behind these suckers.
We're gonna teach them a lesson, they'll never forget!"


***** *****
[MEANWHILE, AT SAS HEADQUARTERS]

"Activate all SAM sites and fire when ready! We have a direct order
from the President to take these planes out!" yelled the Cheif of Staff.

"All SAM sites, active, sir"

"Fire when ready, sergant."

The Sergant started the countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5.....
The Chief of Staff watched the plane's advancement on the radar screen.

....3, 2, 1. The Sergant hit the release button, and all SAMs, at the same time, towards
the incoming aircraft. Everyone went silent. Suddenly, the SAMs appeared
on the redar screen speeding towards the group of planes. In the next minute, there was a bright flash, and then, on the next radar sweep, there was nothing. The SAMs had hit paydirt!

The Chief of Staff, immidiently got on the phone with the President,
"Mission accomplished, sir. We have taken the aircraft!"


***** *****
[BACK ON THE HMS NEMISIS]

"Breach at 50ft. and fire the missiles, when ready!" commanded the
Admiral.

"We have breached, sir."

The Admiral looked out through his periscope, and there they were,
the USS Nerus on the left, the USS Servo in the middle, and the SS. Nexus on the right. And they were all at the mercy of his hands. He would take them out, one by one, right after each other, starting with the USS Nerus.

"Fire upon them, when ready!" ordered the Admiral.

"Firing, sir."

The Admiral watched through the periscope, as two white streaks sped
towards the Nerus, and then two towards the Servo, and then finally, two more towards the Nexus. After the missiles hit, explosions followed on board each successive ship. And then finally, when all three were
engulfed in smoke and flames, they erupted into one massive fiery
cloud, rising into the air.


***** ******
[AT THE PRESIDENTAL OFFICES]

"Sir, success. We have taken out both the aircraft, and the 3 ships,"
reported the General.

"Good, good.....That ought to teach the Emporer a lesson," said Ace,
smiling.

-= The Black Death watched the hostiles go up on the radar screens, and sent out there encoded messages. They quickly went into action, jets were being fed instructions. They were to wait though, one of the messages was sent to the governments of the Region. It was a simple message =-

"All military hostility from any nation needs to stop. The people under the Sureme Diety will take any actions requested upon them by the Deity and the Regional Government to stop thse actions. This is to be a time of peace, not of war. Nations defend yourself from outside attack, save the lives of the innocent. We will hold back until allowed by the Regional Government to act, we do not want to be seen as hostiles or war mongers."

-= the message was sent to all the nations. Another message was at this time being sent to the supreme deity and his men. They were quickly taking up defensives. The men took up anti-air weapons, and watched the skys. They would engage any and all hostiles that entered into the area. They also opened up their comms to the local government, hoping to get some info on what was going on.

The Supreme Deity was watching the comms with interest. He was angry that there would be an attack, and knew that it was some how directed at him and his message. So far they hadn't brought the fight to him, but he procedeing with Caution.

He brought up the comms to the home nation, ordering that air ships be sent to the Terrianvorns, as well as to order the realignment of the satilites, so he could get a better idea of what was going on, and to allow for fluid control of the armed forces, if such a thing was needed. He had trust in the regional government, but he would not be caught defensless if it came down to it.

Silo's all over Terrianvorns would be opening up, and preparing to launch if the order was given by either him or the Regional Government. The nation responsable for the attack would be punished, though that punishment would be nothing compared to the punishment if they dared to open fire on the Supreme Deity himself. Only time would tell what happened next. =-

The Under-Secretary’s unease was growing by the hour, the reported troop movements along the frontier with Weldrick were being confirmed via satellite and uav pictures, well at least the new experimental “Wraith” uav was proving to be an unmitigated success…to bad there were only two in existence at this moment in time. And now there was a heightened flow of communications amongst the Windolenenian high command about an unidentified vessel approaching their coast and an exchange of fire.

What the hell was going on here? As far as Damian was concerned Weldrick was again trying Schleppel’s patience, they had lost once before, but as Un-Sec of Defence for the entire region he could no longer worry about his irritating neighbour. Now there was a lot more at stake…Although no chances could be taken, he had just flashed off an encoded message to the commanding officer of QRF South to move his troops into positions along the frontier, but that would take 24 hours, if the Weldrickian army struck before that they could reach the capital city of Schleppel relatively unhindred.

As the helicopter made its final approach to the meeting site Damian could see the convoy of vehicles the made up Slinao’s motorcade and escort pulling up to the venue,

“Hmm…exactly on time, a rather precise pers…”

The chopper shuddered; loud tearing noises penetrated the sound proofed VIP cabin, grabbing a headset Damian listened in on the pilot’s frantic communications with the controllers below,

“THIS IS SCHLEPPEL ONE! WE ARE RECEIVING HEAVY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS FIRE!! MY CO-PILOT HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY WOUNDED!!

I REPEAT WE ARE RECEIVING HEAVY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS FIRE, I HAVE ONE CASUALTY ON BOARD!!!”

The escorting gunships started making gun runs on the source of the sudden burst of fire, attempting to give Schleppel 1 chance to make the landing site at the front of Slinao’s personal transport…Those bastards! Who the hell was stating a shooting war and how did the get into the secured zone? No matter those questions would be answered one way or the other…

When the response came form the ground controllers the sound of a growing fire fight could be heard in the background,

“THIS IS GC001, WE ADVISE THAT YOU DO NOT LAND WE ARE BEING ASSAULTED BY AN UNKNOWEN HOSTILE FORCE!!!”

“NO!” came the Under-Secretary’s response, “We will be setting down at the LZ, is that understood!”

“But…Sir”

“No buts captain…We will get medical treatment for your co-pilot as soon as we touch down but we need to get to that LZ, if this really does turn into a cluster fuck we need to pull Slinao outta there! If he dies here then that is all it will take for Armageddon.”

“YES SIR!”

It had been too many years since Damian had assaulted into a hot LZ, opening a hidden compartment behind his headrest he found his personal weapons, just in case…one never knew and it paid to be prepared.

“GC001, THIS IS PRESIDENT DAMIAN, CONTACT THE WINDOLENIAN CONVOY DIVERT THEM AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON! ALSO LET SLINAO’S FORCES KNOW WE ARE PROCEEDING TO THE LZ, I DO NOT WANT TO GET SHOT OUT OF THE SKY BY THEM!”

“ROGER! WILL DO! GC001 OUT!” The sounds of battle fading in the crackle as the communication ended and the messages were flashed out to the parties concerned.

The wounded aircraft swung back into the growing wall of lead…once through the ride to the LZ would be peaceful because Schleppel’s Combat Clones were holing their perimeter as ordered.

But for how much longer…

Damian’s chief military advisor was already at the LZ, having moved there to secure it for the arrival of the Supreme Deity, the comms centre was abuzz with activity, what he took to be the Slinao Spec Ops force leader was standing behind him monitoring the situation.

“I trust the forces of his Supreme Deity have already moved, have they not?”

The response was minimal at best,

“We have...”

The secure line’s speakers crackled to life,

“Field Marshal Von Eckhard, as you are well aware we are being assaulted; the Combat Clones are holding the line, but we need re-enforcements! I am giving authorisation to you to prepare Vengeance for immediate use…”

“Sir they have not been fully combat tested!”

“Field Marshal, I understand that but those combat units will come in handy and we can always grow more damn it!”

“Yes sir!”

“Also, contact your Slinaoan counterpart and have him scramble their quick reaction troops in Terrianvorn, it may be overkill but I want this ‘thing’ crushed NOW! Give them any supprot they require, within reason, and patch them into our intelligence network, they'll be needing our satlellite and uav imaging ”

“Done sir...”

The two commanders glanced at each other, as the Slinaoan communications trooper called back for the Supreme Deity’s authorisation, turning to his aide

“Major Ertsburg!”

“Yes Field Marshal?”

“Prepare Vengeance at once!”

“Yes SIR!”

An increase in noise outside indicated that the president’s chopper had just touched down.


TOO BE CONTINUED…

-= the command came with quick speed, and within moments it was relayed into the field. Withen moments 400 commances were in the air, followed by 400 f-16s and 400 AV-28s. They would be to the combat zone within only moments, then full hell would rain down upon all hostiles. Their battle computers linked up with the Regional command.

An addional command was sent and what appeared to be doorways were set up all over the military grounds. The black death moved forward, and odd green energy filled the doorways. They advanced through and in a surrounding circle the green energy appeared around the Supreme Deity's motorcade. From the energy stepped the Black Death. 25,000 troops flooded the area, all with anti-air and anti-tank armorments. They were prepared for anything, and they opened fire as soon as they had a confirmed hostile. Nothing would be in the air in moments, except for friendlies.

The Slinao Operative working with the Government looked over at the regional representitive and nodded =-

"troops have been advanced, 1200 air troops, 25,000 ground troops. Please relay any intelligence to Terrianvorn HQ when you find out where they came from and we will be more then happy to exterminate the pests for you. Don't worry, no nucleur or biological warheads will be used, just good old fashioned fire bombs and high impact warheads."

-= The supreme deity looked around, and told his troops to engage any air troops. To say he was pissed off was an understatement. His tanks moved into defensive positions around him, and brought up air defenses. The diemensional rifts opened, and the Black Death were there, the Supreme Diety sat back and watched everything unfold on the monitors, watching as his troops did what they were trained for, killing with pinpoint accuracy. =-
