International Waters, Thirty Miles From Romandeosian Coast

The DIS Submarine, Presence stalked the waters silently awaiting orders from Dracun High Command. The sub was under command of Captain Adrian an infamous submarine general known for his quick thinking and ferociousness in battle so ferocious in fact that in a nation quickly becoming a nation that values brutality it is famed. He stalked his crew, walking past them inspecting their stations nothing was to be off incase of any unsuspected call to duty or attack.

Then it came in the orders, “Sir.” Said the communications officer, “We’ve received orders, we are to proceed to coordinates Alfred-Brandon-Kevin-Zero-Three at full speed as soon as possible.” The captain quickly turned to the communications officers, “Understood, tell High Command orders are being followed, Navigations!” He barked, “Get us to that area at once.”

The Navigator and the driver nodded to each other knowing their orders. They were not to proceed to those coordinates but far from them in fact they were going only a few miles away. Dracun High Command had placed them on the submarine for this reason, in reality the navigator and driver were actually Covert Operatives deployed by Ansem himself. The course was set and a whole new meaning to “Accident” was to be put into effect…

Drakata, Capital of the Dracun Imperium

Sinister approached the Emperor with quick haste, anger filling his every step. He had heard the news of what Odin and The Emperor had planned and he did not like it, not one bit. He moved past the guards who turned to see Sinister enter the throne room of Ansem. He stopped when he saw Odin and Ansem conversing but his anger rose even farther, “Ansem! How dare you initiate such a plan without my approval? I am the Military Command-“ He Stopped when Ansem rose, fear swept into Sinister and that was something hard to do.

Ansem stepped slowly from his throne, every step; every move he made brought fear into the very core of Sinister. Sinister took a step back involuntarily and gulped as the fear was brought into his heart as the piercing pure white eyes of Ansem stared into Sinister’s very heart and soul. It was as if Ansem would know his worst fears, he always had such a talent for such thing. When he spoke his voice full of sinister intent, “Listen well commander, my will is that of your own. You shall NOT question my orders. What I do is what is best for the order and Dracun… do you so question me for if you do you can be assured death will be a heaven to what you will endure!”

Oh I know too well, for now then Emperor you shall dominate but not for long I assure you. He thought with anger however his spoke was filled with fear, fake or not Sinister could not tell but all he knew was he could not let himself be killed yet. Ansem smiled a smile that made the very bones of Sinister go weak and his blood chill, it was as if Ansem was the very creation of the devil himself.

“Now Sinister, you are dismissed do not enter my throne room again till I call for you…leave!” Sinister bowed before Ansem in haste and took off, his feet showing the anger beneath his feet, “A trouble he will soon become m’lord this we cannot allow.” Ansem turned to Odin, his chief advisor slowly laughing, “Odin, that is the reason I keep him.”

Romandeosian Waters ten miles off coast

Adrian was growing worried, he did not recognize the area he was an actually saw land, Where are we? he thought with a bit of fear after ordering the scope away he turned to navigation, “Driver… location now?” The navigator turned to the driver and they both nodded, rising and unsheathing something so quick it was blinding and the captain was shot. The crew rose but the two showed them their authority and they sat down quickly. They weren’t just special operatives no; they were members of the Order. Ansem’s personal organization who’s purposes were unknown.

“This crew is under our command now, we are in waters of a nation known as Romeandeos. Our purpose you may ask? Simply put, to start a war.”

Admiral Stanley Bostich of the Mauiwoweean tri-maran carrier, The Black Queen sipped his coffee on the bridge as he reviewed some reports:
"What a way to spend a few weeks" he thought - "joint air and naval, live fire exercises with Mauiwowee's newest ally, Romandeo. Good way to show off the new tri-maran ships and aircraft"

"Admiral, we've got a sonar tag." said 1st Mate, Johnathan Brine "it's not in the right place, but we assume it's the sub we're supposed to scuttle as part of the exercise."

"Ok Brine, you know the drill - red alert, I want to beat the last timed drill on squad launches, ok? - tell 'em to take it out. Signal the Romandeo ships with the sub's location, tell 'em we got it and they should should look for that old battleship that's supposed to go down in this exercise."

"Aye sir, will do" With that, Johnathan hit a button on his command station and instantly, all over the ship, red lights began to flash as klaxons went off and a mechanical voice began to repeat "red alert, red alert, all men to stations, pilots to staging - this is not a drill"

Within 20 minutes, 10 Wraith aircraft and 10 Seagulls were in the air headed towards the sub.
"Blue leader, I've got a visual" intoned Captain Fredricks on the Seagull "Baby Bop"
"Ok Fredricks, by the numbers - two missiles, we're coming in behind you - men, one at a time, 2 shots each - visual and radar guidance only - no laser or thermal targeting systems are to be engaged, understood?"
"yes sir Cap'n" came the reply of the other Seagulls in the squadron.
The planes swooped in low and fast "missiles away" said Captain Fredricks for all to hear.

- Meanwhile, back on the bridge of the Black Queen -

"Sir, the Romandeo's say they've spotted the sub at the correct co-ordinates and indicate the sub we've tagged isn't one of theirs." said the 1st mate in an urgent voice.

"What! Well whose damn sub is it?" demanded Admiral Bostich

"Unknown sir, but it is not a part of the exercise."

"Oh hell! Recall those planes, tell them to hold their fire, do it now sailor, now!"

Grabbing the microphone, 1st Mate Brine issued an urgent cease fire and recall order to the squads and then listened intently on his headphones. His face grew ashen as he listened and then he turned to the Admiral "Sir, cease fire issued and the planes are turning back, but they had already launched 4 missiles towards the sub before they got our orders."

"GODDAMMIT!" hissed the Admiral under his breath, this was not what he needed to hear.

On the Vanguard Class SSN Presence

The ship had been thought to be unnoticed that was until the ship rocked from explosions around the submarine. None had hit however the ship rocked like it was being shaken like a giant monster. [Only for IC purposes I'm not going to have the ship hit]The two Order members looked around perplexed, "What the hell is going on!?" Said one.

The radar officer stood, "We are under attack sir, and ships are to the north." One of the Order members smiled, "Damien, shall we escalate the situation?" Damien replied, "By of course... open fire with our torps." The weapon officer looked a little worried, "DO IT!" Damien yelled. Shivers ran down the crew's back as the order was given for torps to be launched.

The eight tubes of the submarine were filled quickly and launched towards the nearest enemy ships. They were like silent warriors, going to make their kills in the darkness of the ocean. Damien, the obvious superior of the two turned to converse with his fellow Order member for several seconds, their words barely audible. Finally Damien turned back, "Ok boys, surface." The crew looked lost in the order but did as they were told to fearing death by the Order. Normally a Dracun wouldn't fear death but one by the Order was rumored to be far worse then any known punishment and with that the sub began to surface...

"Admiral, that sub has launched, by our count, 6 torps. 3 are headed at our Battleship Triad and 3 are headed towards a Romandeon battleship.'

"Damn, can't say that I blame them though - we just fired on them ourselves. Damn fools, who the hell are they? Give me that microphone"
With that, Admiral Bostich grabbed the microphone and flipped a few switches to enable full spectrum broadcast of his message:

"Unknown submarine, this is Admiral Stanley Bostitch on board the Mauiwoweean carrier, "The Black Queen." You have entered restricted waters where live fire military exercises are underway. You have been fired upon by error as a part of those exercises and you have now fired on us. We do not know who you are or what your mission is, but you are either spys or fools. We demand you fully surface and make yourselves known to us and cease further hostilities.

Turning back to the O.D. - "Sailor, I want 4 sub-fighters headed towards that submarine on the double. Tell them to get within torp. range and hold positions. They are not to fire on anything without a direct order from me."
"Sir, yes sir."

::: Meanwhile, on board the Battleship Triad :::

"Captain, we've got 3 torpedeos headed our direction!"
"Hard to starboard, if their going to hit us, let it happen to one of the outriggers. Emergency torp countermeasures should be engaged now!" snapped the captain.
With that the ship swung so that torpedos making past close quarters counter measures would strike on of the outriggers on the tri-maran ship and not the main hull.
"Brace for impact"
::: WHAMMO ::: one then two torpeodos exploded before hitting the ship - hitting counter measure debris ejected in their path. The explosions were still enough to be felt all over the ship though and they weren't so lucky with the 3rd torpedo ::BLAM:: and the entire ship rocked as the port side outrigger near the front. Luckily no-one was injured and the damage could be repaired, but the ship would be operating at less than 100% until those repairs were completed.
"Get on the horn to Admiral Bostich, I need to know what the hell just happened here! and make sure the Romandeon ship is allright."

Sitting along the silver railing, the sunlight pouring through, the warm rays the only thing that kept him feeling strong and heated atop the blisteringly cold precipice of the tower, Arcarum flipped through the billowing papers of international news. So many things happened all at once, and so many that caught his eye, and most of them, this.

The Theocratic Chemicalists of Jenrak has been taking notice of your escapades, on both sides, and wishes that perhaps a peaceful and non-violent (politically and physically) outcome may occur.
