Uga, White Stripe's capital was in ruins. The victim of a blitzkreig by General Thorpe, the city had fallen in under 24 hours. Just hours before the collapse of his country Prime Minister Templar had sent out an urgent message begging for help. President Jack Thor of Legionaire was the only one who could defeat Thorpe's forces. Thor knew he had to act fast. The civillian population had dwindled. Most citizens had fled the city and were in hiding. Thor ordered a counter offensive. For days on end Thor's forces pounded the city by air, land, and sea. After weeks of shelling, Thor knew that the time to mount a ground offensifve was now.

President Thor watched his forces move into their final positions. He turned and looked at his three commanders: General Rotterdam (Army/marines/special forces), General Loki (air force), and Adrimal Oslo(navy)

Thor stood there for a moment

"Gentelmen. The time has come. As of this point, we are at war. Tell your forces to engange and defeat the enemy"

The three commanders nodded and walked to their respective technicians. The tecnicians proceded to give the authorization code. General Rotterdam pressed a button and turned to face his President.

"Tomahawk is go."

Thor stood in silence.

"Maps on screen. I want to watch the battle as it wages."

"Yes sir"

There was a cacling of keys and the view screen split. On the left side was a chart of all the units engaging. On the right was a radar that showed the position of all the units.

****time break. 4 Hours*****

General Loki walked up to Thor

"Sir. Our Thunderchiefs and Banshees are on target. They should be there in 10 miniutes."

"What about our naval and land forces?"

General Rotterdam spoke up

Our airborne units are near the DZ. Our regular army units are storming the beaches as we speak.

"Adrimal?"

"Carrier groups Legionaire. Viking and Stockholm are in theater and that they are preparaing to attack.

"Good."

Thor sighed and waited and hoped

"Sir. Our forces are at target." A technician shouted as he turned and looked at his President and the Commanders

"On screen. I want a status report. "

Thor watched as 50 small blue dots(symbolizing Thor's air units) and 25 green dots (helicopters) on the screen drew closer to the map that showed the city. The blue dots split again into 10 smaller dots. Thor's air force was splitting into the smaller sub units. From there they would engange the enemy.

"Who is closest?"

"Uh. I believe its Major Cahow's unit, the wolf pack."

"On screen. I want to watch the procedings."

Thor watched as 10 Thunderchief Fighter planes stormed into the screen. Thor listend to the pilot's hetic chatter. In the main screen a series of AA batteries could be seen

"Contact. Enemy closing in. Bearing 0-2-0-niner. Pick up a target and get locked."

Thor waited for the beeping sound symbolizing a lock. The planes were about 100 yards out and closing

"Wolf 1. Box 2" There was an explosion in the distance. Then, all hell broke loose.

He watched on the screen as the Thunderchiefs screamed over head. Suddnley small alarms were going off and the radio chatter increased. Thor looked at the screen. His pilots were being shot at by AA cannons.

"Those sons of bitches are firing at us"

The planes on the status screen were flashing. At least one plane had been shot down. Thor watched in horror as two more Thunderchiefs went red. Thor looked back at the screen. His pilots had certanily starteled the soldiers but he had lost 3 planes in the process.

General Rotterdam walked up to Thor

"Sir. Our airborne units are over the DZ and are waiting for orders"

"Have them jump. Tell them to start clearing the buildings and to wait for our army.

"Yes sir."

Thor looked back at the screen.

Thor frowned. 3 jets he thought to himself. 6 dead. The battle had just started adn he already had casulties. He shuddered to think what his army casulties would be if he lost 6 jets.

"Keep me posted."

"Yes sir."

****the City of Uga****

As the helicopters moved overhead, gunfire rained from the buildings. Inside a Valkarie hellicopter, nicknamed Seminole 7, Major. Barrak "beserker" Stockholm stared at the red light near the front of the helicopter. He was in the airborne corps and his orders were to drop into the city with the rest of the paratroopers all 500 of them and start securing the city. He looked at the city below. Soem parts were ruins soem parts stood normally. He found the reports he had heard about the city hard to believe. He looked at the men in his copter. They were all dressed in black and grey Urban camoflauge. They had black boots, gloves and balcava. They wore black M1 ballistic helmets. with Night Vison goggles attached to them. They had small black ALICE packs on their backs and they straddeled H&K 505's. Some men wore ammo pouches strapped to their legs or belt. Soem men carried medi packs in their bags. At least 4 of the 20 men had machine guns or other special equipment.

The light suddnley turned green and the chopper slowed down. Each man crawled to the two doors on either side. The men formed 5 lines. Each man at the front grabbed a black rope. The doors flew open and one by one each man grabbed the rope and dropped to the rooftop of a small building. Major Stockholm looked around adn watched the saem event unfold on similar buildings. Above him the chopper whirrled away. Without sayign a word, he motioned to his men to follow him. They snaked to a rooftop door adn split into two lines. Stockholm adjusted his headset.

"Alright Cahow lets R.S.V.P."

A man snaked forward and crouche dnex tto the door. He pulled out a small charge and placed it on the door frame. He then made a circe lout of the wires and then crawled back to his spot. The two lines creeped back slightly. He signaled to the man infront of him. Two flashes and a smoke then its party time. The man nodded. Stockholm reached back and squeezed the thigh of the man behind him. Each man repead the action. At the end of the line the man squeezed the shoulder of the man infront of him. When Stockholm felt the squeeze he shouted into his radio

"go!"

A small boom followed. Stockholm adn the man on the other side of the door tossed two grenades in. There was a bang and a trail of smoke. Stockholm rushed through the door and each man in his line followed him. Stockholm Through his headset Stockholm could hear the rest of the paratroopers joining the battle.

OOC:yare you long to people to join? i'm just new to the forum and dont know how things work. i suppose this also works as a tag.

OCC: you can join. It's an open forum

OOC: ..Did you jusdt auto the destruction of Uga? o.O'

OOC: do you have a map of uga? that would really help. plus this is my 1st battle i been in so just bear with me.

IC: on the outskirts of town the drone of a plane could be heard. anyone who took the time to look up would notice 2 fairly large and sleek planes. they were made in the idea of stealth but given their size they could not escape radar for too long. they had time and distance enough to make this trip and back. inside the large planes were 30 men. 15 in each. they were B.E.I operatives assigned to a number of objectives.

1.destroy AA guns
2.evacuate remaining uga citzens
3.infiltrate parliament
4.eavedrop on military personnel occupying parliament
5.capture mall
6.lend fire support to legionaire paratroops on the way
7.hold mall as base

they would soon be dropping in the edge of the city. sgt. Alvin L'Hirondelle was anxious. he was the 1 of the 3 sargeants sent in with their squads to get in this shattered city. the sounds of battle could be heard below. now it was almost time to make the jump. each man was issued a unform lined with thin kevlar scales and night camo. Alvin was chosen to also test a new type of camo. it was equiped with sensors to copy the colour of the light reflected on it. side effects on soldiers were currently unknown. could it cause abnormal farting habits? only combat would tell. the light went red. now it was time to jump."go go go", Alvin barked. from 6 doors the operatives jumped. Alvin went last. in the darkness alvin whipped out his night vision binoculars and checked the sky. 2 operatives were floating farther away from the drop point. that meant we would have to go for them. finally they all touched down. the lt was organizing the squads. 1 person was missing from Alvins squad. it was Roger but that was no problem. he was a great tracker and could read any map accurately. strange he was taking so long. then we heard the sound of gunfire and a cry. that couldn't be good. the 3 squads split up and spread out. then everyone moved in. there was roger and a guy from another squad fighting the enemy. roger was hit in the arm and was fending them off with his issued short sword while his rifle lay in a bed of rubble and his pistol jammed. the other guy though uninjured did not go for his guns and showed a suprising amount of skill with his knife. we could also see an AA gun. look like the mission had fight, at least for them, had begun.

occ: Uga looks like Washington DC (obviously the monmuents are different)

IC: Major Barrak Stockholm heard the roar of a plane overhead. He heard soem of the AA batteries going off. Stockholm tried to focus on the task at hand: Clearing the goverment district and securing the capitol building. Stockholm and his men had just cleared the office of finance. They had met small resistance and one man was wounded. Stockholm and the commander of the 2nd unit Major Vogel were sitting in the secretary's office.

A nco raced into the room. Saluted the officers and reported.

"Sir, we have reports that a second army has entered the city.They appear to be BEI agents. They are moving in this direction. Our intel picked up this message secure Parliment mall"

Stockholm and Vogel looked at eachother. They grabbed their guns and walked out of the room. They walked to the confrence room where their soldiers were resting.

"Get your gear on. We're moving out. Now."

The soldiers rushed to get ready to redeploy.

"Ensign Kane."

A medium sized man walked forward. He was dressed in basic cammo and had a radio attached to his back."

Stockholm took the phone in his hands.

"Rolling Thunder this is mongoose 1. We are requesting air support. Ask the pilots to make sure that the airspace is secure. An aircraft just dropped a unit of a forign country and we belive their intgentions are hostile."

Stockholm handed the phone back.

"alright men lets move"

OOC: just wondering but where is the guys who attacked uga from?

the fight at the 1st battery was quick. the soldiers guarding it noticed shots but didnt seem to care. the grenade launchers on our HE-18s made quick work of them. the aa battery was damaged but was still operational. our dynamite charges destroyed it. now while or 3rd squad went towads the parliment building the 2nd squad checked on the citzens and the 4th squad went hunting AA guns. the parliment came in to view and we all took cover. it seemed that the military personnal were forewarned about our appearance. Alvin trained his night vision binoculars on the soldiers. they wore urban cammo and had dark balaclavas. they were legionnare troops. weren't we supposed to be helping them? then alvin realized it. when they were given these objectives it said nothing about them actually helping us. we never got word from them and the government kept saying they were allies. the government never actually opened communications with them. never made an alliance with them nor even alerted them of our presence. not that it stopped them from knowing we were here. why didn't the president open communications?

back at the brallach parliment...

"sir we are just here to make sure you get the proper help you need", said the mental institution employee.
"thats what you want me to think you dirty shoe", said the pantsless president while beating off people from the loony bin with his pants."you evil minions of fashion". sddenly a cheery voice rang out through the room.
"ooooooooh daaaaaaarling", said a women who wAs no doubt the presidents wife."i bought more shoooooooooooooooeseeeeys".
"nooooooooo"!

back to battle...

suddenly there was the music the song spanish flea started to play."whoops thats my cellphone", said Alvin. he promptly picked it up. after a few minutes he hung up and burst out laughing. he told everyone how the president was in the looney bin about shoes."well i do believe this calls for a few things", alvin said. he whispered something to everyone and they all smiled. they took cover and waited for the sound of troops. alvin held a white flag ready to be raised. in everyones hand they each held something bright red and juicy. when they heard the leigonnare troop they would let loose a barrage of... tomatoes.

[Major Barrak Stockholm watched the procedings from the rooftop accross from the parliment. His soldiers had taken the building and set up a defensive position to wait for the soldiers that arrived in the city. He had watched the encounter and was suprised at the procedings. He was suprised that the two sides had not opened fire. He walked back to an area where some of his soldiers were waiting. He walked over to Captain Lestat, the company's air lisaion and chief electronics officer, who was sitting near a radio and was monitering radio transmissions.

"Captain Lestat front and center"

"Sir captain Lestat reporting as ordered sir."

Major Stockholm pulled out a box from his napsack

"Right before we left, I was given a memmo from command about your reputation. The memmo stated that you were to be promoted to Major. There was supposed to eb a ceremony and all but we got bogged down in this."

Major Stockholm handed two silver eagles to the man.

"Congratulations Major."

The two saluted and shook hands

"Thank you sir."


Major Stockholm walked to a smal tent where two figures were hunched over a map. Several more men were at radio stations. Stockholm walekd over to the two men who were hunched over the map.

"Ensign O'Brien. Can you update me on the position of the army we encountered."

" Well sir, the soldiers are from the nation of brallach."

"Intresting. What's their position"

"Well based on the latest fly over, they are split. One of theirt units has been attemptign to destroy AA batteries."

"So thats why more planes have been overhead."

"Yes sir. Another unit is helping citizens to recover. The main force, the one who we just encountered appears to be a few blocks away. Over here near the finincial center."

"How close is our main army."

"Well, our armor should be at the city limits by early morning our infantry midday."

"Alright. I want to talk to you later about something."

Stockholm walked over to one of the man who was at a radio. He was typing something ona computer and relaying instructions.

"Doctor. Smart can I have a casulty report."

"Well, so far its been minimal 10 dead 25 wounded. Most of the wounds are minor 5 low risk surgeries 3 medivacs."

"I wish we could get an evac"

"Alright thank you doctor"

Stockholm walked out of the tent and two Banshees roared over head and tilted their wings. Stockhom walked to the edge of the roof. He pulled his radio closer to his mouth.

"White King to white rooks unquiver your arrows and standby."

Stockholm ordered his snipers to stand down until furhter notice. Major Lestat walked up to Stockholm and handed him a piece of paper.

"You should take a look at this."

"What is it?"

"Updates from all our squads."

Stockholm read the paper and along with Major Lestat walked back to the temporary hedquarters and into the tent.The two of them walked to Ensign O'Brian.

"Ensign are the brallach soldiers in the same position as they were a few miniutes ago."

"I think so sir"

Major Stockholm looked at the map and thought for a second.

"Major Lestat try to make contact with the brallachian soldiers. Ask them what their intents are. Find out why they are even here. Have your technicians monitor their communications."

"Ensign O'Brian. Pack all of your stuff up we're moving out."

Stockholm walked out of the tent and over to the radio officers.

"When one of you gets a chance send this message to all the unit commanders minus libertine unit. Tell them to swing around the capitol. Tell them to move near the brallach position and send them the coridnates. Do your best to monitor their movements and alert us of any updates or movements."

Majro Stockholm walked to the door and walked down a flight of steps and into a large room where his soldiers were resting.

"baracuda unit pack up and fall in"

The members of baracuda unit grabbed their gear and followed their commanded out of the room. After a short journey down the steps the baracuda unit was back on the streets. They paced down the city blocks moving southward. After walking for about a mile shots rang out. They sought cover. Stockholm scanned the buildings and waited. They moved out again waiting for more shots to ring out. Stockholm looked at his gps scanner and realized that they had reached the brallach position. gunshots had begun ringing out in the city.

"White 6 to White King. Am taking fire request permession to fire."

"acknowleged. White King to kings army fire if fired upon."

"White 2 is in position"

"White 4 is in position"

"White 7 is in position"

"White King to White Rooks stand by."

OOC: whos firing?

OCC: i put it in there to advance the plot.
