It was another sunny morning in Sparta. Just like any other day. Civilians went on with there works. Major streets where jammed with cars and you got to hear the occasion sound of a police siren. All was well for Greece and the Empire. Except in a dark room of a very old building in some dark area of Sparta…

"The closest ally to the Empire is the Island of Rose. They will support the Emperor no matter what."

"I thought Rosians are stupid?" said that very big guy

"No fool! I told you never to underestimate your enemies especially the Rosians! They are scheming little bastards. They pwned a Hatarian Fleet of Doom!" said the smart one

"Don't we all?" said the big guy again

"True. But that’s not the point. The point is we need to destroy that Rosian Embassy next door! So we can overthrow the Emperor!"

"Me like blowing up stuff." Said the big guy.

"Then what are you waiting for!"

The black van pulled out of the old building garage and drove to the next door embassy parking in front of the embassy's main entrance. The backdoors of the van burst open as armed terrorists came out and shot the two surprised Rosian guards in front of the embassy.

"Come one lets go in! And you there unpack the bombs!"

They all said "Roger that!"

The 10 terrorists burst into the embassy shooting crazy and shooting randomly in the air as 3 terrorists got shot down by the Rosian soldiers.

"Open fire! Lets kill them!"

The terrorists took cover behind anything they can find.

Sparta, Rosian Embassy

The Imperial Union was very close friends with the Greek Empire, so much so that Sergei knew Nikolaos Onassis personally. He was also on vacation touring Europe (with his wife), and Greece was his next stop. He was going to fly to Corinth in a few hours so he was basically waiting for the plane to land. Of course, nobody realized that this terrorist attack was going to happen, well except God, but yeah.

"Agh... blast." Sergei mumbled with his thick Russian accent. "When is this stupid plane going to land! I knew I should've taken the Imperial Fighter, but no..."

As soon as he said that the gunfire started. Two or three soldiers that protected the Embassy got shot down, not saying the terrorists didn't lost some of their own. "Oh hell!" Sergei shouted. "Who is trying to kill me now?!" Let me note that his wife was sleeping during all of this, you try having jetlag.

The Embassy Guard's Commander, a Major John Winthorp (who was inside the Army Bedrooms with most of the Guard), shouted. "Come on boys, it's only a few diewty gunnahs! We've seen worse eh!?" The soldiers in charge of the Spartan Embassy were involved in the Rosian campaign to reinstate Antonious as the Emperor of Generia, so they've seen plenty of action, so much as to make a book, a movie, and a crappy video game to go with it. Because we all know that movie video games are crappy. Very crappy.

All of a sudden, roofmen (for they were men on roofs) cocked their RMW-11As (which was a small semi-automatic sniper rifle) and started laying waste to the terrorists. They fell like ducks in a carnie game, that's always fun eh? Only three survived, but that's because they surrendered. Then after that, seven soldiers with RAR-11A Assualt Rifles popped out of the front pointing their guns at the terrorists, lead by the Major.

Major, pointing his gun at one of the terrorists, simple said "All roight then you filth, who in the bloody 'ell ahre you?"

Then, Diane (Sergei's wife) woke up. "Sergei! What is that noise?!" Diane shouted. "Stop playing that stupid HALO game!" Then, she went back to sleep. Funny eh? It better be.

Back at the van

"Shit! I forgot the bombs! Better tell the other guys before they get themselves killed for nothing."

The terrorists left the van forgetting his gun this time and ran into the embassy. He saw around him the bodies of his fellow comrades lying dead on the floor surrounded by a puddle of blood. He saw three of his comrades alive but failed to notice the Rosians.

"Guys I am really sorry about this but I forgot the bombs!"

One of the terrorists turned around and said:

"God damned it! I am surrounded by fools!"

Imperial Palace, Athens

The Emperor was in his office watching himself giving a speech on TV.

"That speech was just fabulous! That should keep those lefties quiet for some time…"

A knock came on his large, polished wooden door.

"Come in.

The Minister of Defense came in with a worried face.

"Emperor, the Rosian Embassy in Sparta has been attacked. It has been confirmed they where terrorists and they where Greek."

"What! How is that possible?"

"I do not know yet. But I do know Sergei is there."

"Damn. Try and get in contact with him. Report back once contact has been made."

"Yes sir!"

The Minister walked out and closed the doors on his way out. The Emperor was left alone in his deep thinking.

"Who could possible attack a Rosian Embassy and why?"

John approached the idiot terrorist who just happened to forget the bombs. "Roight then lad." He said. "Since we ahre in Rosian territry, we don't need to listen to Greek lahw. The'fohre, you have until the count of three to spit out who or what you ahre before you get shot in the face. One, two-"

"Wait! Wait!" He shouted with his Greek accent that was stereotypically thick. "I'll tell you! We were trying to get to you so you wouldn't block the way to the Emperor!"

Sergei appeared from the front door behind Major John and chuckled. "Ah, you're the idiot who tried to kill me eh?"

"Grand Chancellor Sergei!" Another terrorist said.

"Let me correct you on a few things. One, there are probably more heavily armed Embassies then ours. And two, the Palace is in Athens not in Sparta! And if you were to kill me, you'd not only make the Island of Rose angry, you'd make the entire Imperial Union angry. But since you left me alive, it's worse." Sergei replied. "And now, you are official prisoners of the Imperial Union. Congratulations, you're the first prisoner in two hundred years to be kept alive."

"We'll get you for this!" The terrorist leader shouted. "You'll die!"

Sergei shrugged. "Yes yes, you don't live fifty four years for nothing you know." He leaned towards Major Winthorp. "Send them to the guest chambers and guard them, I'll let the Greeks handle them. Oh and, don't let reporters in without my permission."

Sergei was a different man then he was 10 years ago, sad really.
