OOC: This is open to G.F.F.A members and others who TG me and ask for approvel. The setting is simple. Yevon is makeing a attempt to regain power at all cost.

IC: The lights were bright in Bevelle... brighter then normal. But cold too very cold. Some might even think the planets enviorment controles wernt working right. Or maybe it was just my body telling me somthing bad was going to happen.

"A-are you not Admiral Hiei??" a young girl said holding on to her mothers hand.

I turned around and looked at the girl. I must have been a sad sight indeed. My hair unwashed, My skin covered in dirt and ofcourse my right arm gone. Removed by that bastard Renkotsu.

The girls mother pulled her close and looked with me with almost disgust. " This bum is not the Great Admiral Hiei. He died in battle years ago."

I dont know if the women really didnt know it was me or if she didnt want her kid to see the Great Admiral Hiei like this. It mattered not to me. My life in serving these people was long over. What had i ever gained from it?? I will tell you what blood shead and a missing arm. Tho the killing of my enemys wasnt so bad. Still i felt Neo Zeta had done nothing for me. Little did i know what was about to happen. Somthing that would turn my life upside down and shake Neo Zeta to its very core.

At midnight somthing that had not happened since the time of the Great Civil War that spawned Neo Zeta. All communcations to those outside Neo Zeta was cut. Some in midtransmission any attempt would get this error. ' Time has come faithful of Yevon to regain our rightful place'. I thought it was just a cheap Yevon trick cutting Neo Zetas communcations to try and scare us.

Little did i know Yevon had ships and men ready. Hell even droid ready but worst of all they had inside supporters from the Goverment.

I just knew this night wouldnt be normal the cold nights never are.

Inside Shadowloon
Imperial Citadel
A private meeting between Shadow Emperor Alfred Von Antheron and Duchess Aluria Mizar


The Shadow Emperor looked upon Duchess Aluria Mizar. She stood about eight feet tall and had here claws and here facial tenticals at ready. They communicated via the psy link that all Deatharon's shared.

The Duchess being the leader of the Emperor's Intelligence network saids, "My Emperor the Yevon forces are posed for attack. The Empire has not taken a stance. The Arch Duke Nym Kazar beliefs that the Antarans want us to help them take over."

The Emperor replies, "I wish to hold all our forces untill it is clear if King Fuher Bradley can hold on to power. I respect him even though he is only human."


The Duchess bows and saids, "What about the Maldoran Legions they have already moblezed to help the Yevon forces?"

The Emperor nods and saids, "They are under House Kazar's control. I will do nothing to halt them unless there actions threaten the Grand Shadow Empire."

OOC: The people of Deatharon look like this (including the Emperor and the Imperial High Command.): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9b/Illithid.jpg

The Only orginal races are the Antarans, and the Ithkul which now make up the Ground Forces of the Grand Shadow Empire....

On Yevons Fortress Moon the Droids and Crusader Ships had already set out. Few ships stayed in orbit to protect the moon but Neo Zeta would be too busy to track down where the ships had come from.

Seymour stood on the Bridge of his flagship The Titan a Tarkin II class SSD. Truely a monster. When the Omega Star and Ultra Project failed this ship was born.

He looked over a fleet of 200 droid capital ships and 130 crusader ships. The fleet was makeing a zig zag path to Bevelle. Tho one of its stops would bring it near the Abh border. Seymour turned to Bankotsu who stood on the bridge beside him. " You had better not let me down this time or it will be the death of you. Do i make my self clear?"

Bankotsu didnt even answer he had his own plans for this upriseing. He turned and begian to walk off the Bridge " Me and my men will be takeing one of the new Exitus class Battlecruisers." Seymour dosnt respond as Bankotsu leaves to board his ship.

Time untell passing nearist to Abh Border 15 hours. Chance of running into Abh Trade Ships 60% Chance of running into Abh civilian ships 79% Chance of running into Abh Military ships 12%. All based on intel reports.

Meanwhile Neo Zetas communcations were still silent.

OOC: If this needs editing let me know.

IC:
Los Angeles-

Premier MacIntyre had just gotten off an angry phone call with a member of the Politburo. He was angry, and he needed something to forget....

....so he cracked open the remote, and began watching the TV.

Then, another call.

"Yes? Who is it?"

The voice replied, "It is Sensei Tadanobu. I sense a disturbance in the Force."

Robert rolled his eyes and said, "Look, you've only said this to me, oh, five gazillion times now? The Politburo hates me and hates you, and thinks this cozy relationship is not healthy. No you may not commandeer more forces-"

Junko then said, "You can be a jackass sometimes, ya know? Look, don't make me Force choke you; I can do that from here. Anyway, this concerns Neo Zeta."

Robert then said, now munching on beef jerky, "So? They're our friends now, they're GFFA allies."

Junko then said, "And, it seems some kinda movement, some rebellion, is breaking out now. Our allies are in danger of being consumed by some kind of fire, I can sense it. Something serious that can really prove damaging if uncontained."

Robert then said, "Well, lemme see your vision."

Junko then said, "Turn on the damn TV."

Robert then sighed, and changed the channel to Pravda. The report was a simple one, disorder had been reported in Neo Zeta, but no details had come as of yet.

Robert then said, "I'll think about it. Hold your forces. When the situation gets hot, when we are ready, we will jump in. In the meantime, all I can do is offer Guns and Ammo."

JUnko then said, "Okay, fine. Thought you had more spine, man."

She then hung up.

A message was then wired to the Neo Zetan Government-

"We have heard of the insurgency in your nation; these putschists must be stopped. Our armories and WMD's are yours."

Kazar Home System...

The Maldoran Legions had moblized about 2 Warfleets worth of ships and several Harvester Hive Ships full of Ithkul Drones ready to commence there attack agaisnt Neo Zeta's Government they waited for the Yevon forces to signal them for the attack. The Arch Duke Nym Kazar watched his forces moblized soon Neo Zeta would pay for humilating the Empire. He would gain prestige and honor for paying the Inferior humans of Neo Zeta a fatal blow.

12th Fleet HQ aka Vipers Posion in orbit of Doth. Admiral John was yelling at his men to get their act togather.

" What the hell do you mean communcations down?! Who is the dumb ass incharge of keeping communcations running?"

The women seems almost of the virge of tears she was a young Lt " S-Sir i am Sir!"

John slams his hand down beside her " Then why in the hell is it not working?!"

She jumps a little as he slams his hand down " S-sir the problem is not from within but a network wide problem. I am working hard to get communcations back online."

As she spoke a voice came over the intercomm

" Capital Ships incomeing bealived to be friendly tho no ships are suppose to be comeing here for another week. Numbering 60 ships Neo Zetan design for sure. They will be in vissule range in 30 mintues."

John looked up at his operations officer " Must be comeing here to tell us whats going on. Normal for the head guys at High Command to send a fleet to tell us somthing we already know."

Little did he know it was one of Yevons Fleets. Their goal was to capture Doth at all cost.

The Abh Intelligence sent a message to all garrison forces to be on the look out for anything suspicious. Communication between the two great nations had gone silent which was reason enough for them to look internally at the Zetan government.

Admiral Trife had been appointed to lead all forces of the Empire while the Emperor was away. He was known for his efficiency in a fight but also for being bold and rushing head long in. He had recently been passed by Admiral Spoor in ranking who seconded only the Emperor himself.

Frontlineships had been sent to lay in wait in sords along with more Attack Vessels, Guardships, and Whitestars being sent to the border for security.

Throne Room of Supreme Overlord Nas Choka

The elites of the castes had gathered together, called to assemble by the Supreme Overlord. They gathered in the throne room, grouped together by caste. Priests, Shapers, Intendents and Warriors all stood in anticipation of the Supreme Overlord's arrival.

For over an hour they waited until finally the door irised open and Nas Choka entered the room. He walked slowly and ceremoniously to his throne, followed by his seers and elite guards. He seated himself on his throne, looking out over the elites. As he did, the dovin basals of the chamber activated, increasing the gravity of the room as if the Supreme Overlord himself changed the physical nature of the room.

"Noble warriors, pious priests, cunning intendents and ingenious shapers welcome... I have called you here to hear of new troubles in the home of our ally, Neo Zeta... Insurgents, sending abominations to fight in their stead, attempt to bring down the Neo Zetan government... We have remained neutral so far, but now we will discuss involvement... First, I wish to hear what the seers say...." Nas Choka spoke, his voice amplified by the silence.

The seers then produced a group of small creatures, bred expressly for sacrifice, and proceeded to kill them. They then began dismembering and disembowelling the creatures and when they had finished, stood silently over the bloody mess for several moments. Finally the three of them turned to Choka, kneeled and spoke in succession.

"In favour of involvement are the Gods." The first said.
"Angered at the treachery and cowardice of the insurgents." The second spoke.
"Good tidings they promise. To aid our allies we recommend. No more can we see." The third finished.

Nas Choka listened intently, then turned back to the assembled elites. Pausing for several long moments, he spoke. "Now, what say the priests...?"

"Dread One, the Gods favour us. They will us into action. We should support our allies most strongly. The Gods will it..." The high priest said, a tinge of fear in his voice.

"Shapers?"

"Our ships are healthy. Our servants are strong. There has been no better time to wage war then now, Dread One..." A master shaper almost whispered, head bowed in reverence.

"Intendents?"

"We are obligated by our alliance with Neo Zeta to intervene on their behalf. Perhaps though, we should not act right away?..."

"You question the judgement of the seers and your fellow elites!?" Nas Choka said, voice amplified even further.

"N-n-n-no my Lord.... I-i-t's just that we do not yet know all the facts. It would be in our best interest to wait for further information...."

"Very well.... Warriors?"

Warmaster Tsavong Lah stepped forward, snapped a salute then spoke. "Dread One, we should strike these insurgents immediately! Destroy them and their abominations! The Gods demand action!"

"Your zeal is commendable, Warmaster, if not your patience.... We will act..." Nas Choka said, glancing down at the intendent who had spoken. "but not right away. We will wait for communications to resume fully. Warmaster, ready four of your best fleets. Priests, prepare 10,000 slaves as sacrifice to the Gods in anticipation of victory. Intendents, contact our allies and get more information..... Leave me now...."

OOC: We're going to support the government. Just give me the word and I'll send those fleets.

Emperor Nathan Hale Bridger (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b91/SeaQuest_Sim/Character%20Pics/nbridger.jpg) was listening to some music (http://remix.kwed.org/files/RKOfiles/FeekZoid%20-%20Firefly%202005.mp3), one of the many tracks to emerge from the nation of Planet Zi in his office. He paused it when he noticed the reflection of Major General Amon (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Character%20Pics/1382_35440.jpg) in the window he was looking at at the stars through.

"Yes?"

"Emperor, reports have come in that indicate a communications black-out from Neo Zeta."

"Amon, from your tone, I sense you aren't saying everything."

"More...covert sources indicate an uprising of a religious zealot. Those same sources state that this same zealot has been a source of trouble in the past."

Bridger turned back to the window.

"What does the Military Council recomend?"

"That we send some form of aid to help the current Neo Zeta government. They feel it would be a good opportunity to field test the new classes that have been developed due to the on-going Shadow War."

"So, they feel it is time to reveal the Warlock, Nova-X, Nova, Hyperion, Olympus, Valenn, Th'Nor, T'Loth, Sun Hawk, Xorr, Xill, Avioki, Gatherer, and Pinnace classes?"

"Aye, sir. As well as the un-named cruiser and fighter."

"Very well. Go ahead and authorize a limited fleet."

"By your command."

"What about the other classes?"

"The Military Council feels it would be kept as the proverbial 'ace up the sleeve', sir."

"Ahh."

5 Days Later at a secret construction R. & D. yard hidden deep in intergalactic space

A fleet of ten of the un-named cruiser class (http://www.b5tech.com/miscracesgroups/3rdspace/3rdcruiser.jpg), twenty T'Loth class (http://www.b5tech.com/narn/narnships/narncapships/tloth.jpg) assault cruisers, fifteen Th'Nor class (http://www.b5tech.com/narn/narnships/narncapships/thnor.jpg) cruisers, thirty Warlock class (http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthcapships/warlock/warlockviews.jpg) advanced heavy destroyers, five Nova class (http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthcapships/nova/novaglory.jpg) dreadnaughts, three Nova-X class (http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthcapships/novax/novax.jpg) battlecruisers, forty Hyperion class (http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthcapships/hyperion/hyperion.jpg) heavy cruisers, twenty-five Olympus class (http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthcapships/olympus/olympus.jpg) corvettes, fourteen Avioki class (http://www.b5tech.com/league/leagueships/avioki/avioki.jpg) cruisers, thirty Xorr class (http://www.b5tech.com/league/leagueships/xorr/xorr.jpg) assault cruisers, fifteen Xill class (http://www.b5tech.com/league/leagueships/xill/xill.jpg) heavy cruisers, and fifty of the un-named heavy fighter class (http://www.b5tech.com/miscracesgroups/3rdspace/3rdfighter.jpg) moved into formation. Meanwhile, a countless number of other ships never seen before, flitted around on various tests and trials. To build all of these ships, five Jovian sized Class D planets had to be 'melted down' to their sub-atomic components. The Holy Empire had taken a 'lesson' from the Shadow's and transferred some of what they know about biological ship parts from the sub fleet to some of the space fleet. Right before the entire fleet was to open the Hyperspace Windows for the trip to a point in Neo Zeta where they would transmit their friendly intent to aid, thirty heavy fighter/gun-ships (http://www.b5tech.com/drakh/drakhraider/raider.jpg) of another un-named class joined them. These new ships were part of the result of the 'melt down' of a Class D planet the size of Earth's moon. Once the last ship was in place, the entire armada opened Hyperspace Windows and set-of.

Five hours later at Neo Zeta boarder

The SeaQuestian fleet dropped back to sublight and transmitted a message to the Neo Zeta homeworld.

This is the SeaQuestian Elvenbane Fleet, Admiral Robin Sena in command. We have been dispatched to aid the legitimate government against the up-rising. We await permission to cross the boarder into your space.

Admiral Robin Sena (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Character%20Pics/1381_19855.jpg) sat back in her chair after the message was sent. Her ship, the I.S.S. Witch Hunter, was one of the un-named class of cruisers.

The messages never reached Bevelle. Yevon took great care to insure for sure it was kept blacked out. Few if any knew of a upriseing they thought it was a terrorist strike or prank. The patrol ship Roma sent a message to the border.

Permission............* static* not * static* Granted * more static* enter Neo Zeta at this * Static and end of Transmission*

OOC: If it seems words are left out of the message its suppose to. It is words that were covered by static.

Robin stood up and started to pace around the bridge after they had recieved the message.

"Lieutenant."

"Yes, ma'am?"

"Are we positive of the reliabilty of our sources that informed us of the uprising?"

"Aye, ma'am. Psy Corps made sure of that."

Robin shuddered at the name of rarely mentioned sub-group of the Mind Corps.

"I know how you feel, ma'am. Orders?"

She grinned coldly, "Set course for the Neo Zeta homeworld. Set it so that we emerge in orbit around it. Psy Corps," she shudders again, "is one of the best intelligence groups the Empire has. If they say a source is reliable, it is."

"Aye, ma'am."

The Witch Hunter moved into a Hyperspace Window. The rest of the fleet followed soon after.

Two hours later near Bevelle

The Elvenbane fleet dropped to normal space in the Neo Zeta home system. Sena sent a message to the surface informing them why the fleet had arrived and of the "greeting" they had gotten when they waited at the boarder. It was designated for the Neo Zetan Emperor's eyes only.

Robin Sena sat back down. She may be young, but she is experienced. She knew that with these reports of a uprising in Neo Zeta from reliable sources, that some of the messages they recieved would have to be verified. That is why she had disregarded the message they had recieved at the boarder. An official response should have been crystal clear and lack the static.

Yukatania Space
Navalyard 0-1A
Dedication Ceremony

President Chuck Horner stood infront of the Podium. "My great Citizens thanks to our Allies, our Planet has been rid of our overbearers. We have now Returned to Space." The screen showed a large Ship. http://www.nexusthegame.com/imgupload/img_large200.jpg
"This is our First ship to be. The new "Fat Lady" Transport Ship. This Ship is our future! The First Crew of the Fat Lady please stand up." 213 Men stood up in the Adiunce. "You, are our Future.....You are our Pride...By taking this step you shall be known forever." The men left the Audience to board thier ship. President Horner left the Podium under heavy applause. "Greg come here, how long untill the "Fox" is ready to be built, also how long untill our Second Navalyard is finished?" Greg looked at his clipboard..."Well Sir, the "Fox" shall be ready to build in a few days, but our next Naval Yard will be finished in a few weeks."...A Large Roar was soon heard followed by Applause.."Well there goes our Future Greg...." A Marine Sargant Ran up to the President.
"Um...Sir there something you should know...please follow me." President Horner followed the Sargant into a Secure Station.
"...Well what it is?"
"The Neo-Zetan peacekeeping forces are really "freaked out".."
"Why?"
"Well they lost contact with thier homesystem..they fear something bad has happened.."
"Get me thier Commander.."
"Yes Sir!" The Marine Sargant Ran off down a hallway...
"What do you think has happened Sir?"
"Well Greg, I have no clue..."

ES Listening Outpost, Tei-Ceti-125883, Eshirian/NZ Border...

"Hey, Lien, can you get that?"

A young man, looking about his mid thirties sat in a darkened room, with dim monitors and various signal lights providing the only illumination. A women walked in carrying a small bowl of food to the young man. "Thanks, Lien." He said.

"No problem." she replied.

A small beeping tone sounded as the man was just taking a bite. "Wha-...?"

"We've just stopped receiving anything from NZ space, A-, and it looks like there's a huge build-up of ships around that region there." said Lien, pointing to one screen.

The man nodded, and turned his attention to the other monitors. Both scanned the screens, hoping to get some more information about this most disturbing turn of events.

Reams of data flowed past their eyes, and their expressions grew increasingly horrified.

"Oh my Gods..."


Three hours later, ES/NZ Border...

A small light flickered in the vast starfields surrounding a puny, desolate world. With a flash and an explosion of intense energy, a small task force of ten "Ultra-light Fighter carriers (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y266/kyanges/FighterCarrier2.jpg)" appeared, along with three massive Preamus Class Carriers (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y266/kyanges/BattleCarrierRemake2.png). As part of the picket defenses of the Eshirian Frontier, the fleet was dispatched to the ES/NZ border to guard against any possible threats to the Sovereignty.

Relying on further intelligence gathered from the Listening outposts, it was now known that there was some form of rebellion taking place within NZ space. After broadcasting a message to other allied fleets gathered on the border, the fleet awaited a response, and the moment to make it's move.

(OOC: Heh, heh, all picture by me! Lol.)

12th Fleet HQ the 'Friendly' fleet enters vissule range.

" Response?" John asked his operations officer.

" None sir we have sent out four vissule sigals to them."

A light flickers on and off from the lead ship

" Sir they are signaling!"

John smirks " Atlast what are they saying."

" We are here by order of King Bradley to check up on this outpost do to lose of communcation." The operations officer said

John smiles " Good" He says as the young women almost falls into him running.

" What the hell are you doing Lt?" he said

" S-Sir they are useing a old code." She said

The Operations Officer laughs " So its still one of ours"

The women yells " Its Pre Republic War!!"

Johns face turns pale as he turns and and sees the lead ship of the fleet. He looks hard then spots it... " The Eye of Yevon" He said softly " Those are Crusader Ships!!!"

He turns and sends a message to all ships " YEVON SHIPS MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!" The ships were almost all at rest the moment the Yevon fleet picked up the ships powering up they opened fire.

The heavy guns fireing at still powered down ships and fighters flying out to cuase even more damage. The HQ's Defence grid powered up. They were the first to see the horrors of friendly ships being destroyed befor they even powered up.

John turned to his operations officer " How long untell weapons are online?!"

The man turned and looked at his station and typed a few commands in " 5 mins atleast. We were going threw a power grid check."

John spits on the floor " These bastards pulled one over on me but they will pay. We have 50 capital ships here to their 60. However this Battlestation is a tought little SOB. They will regreat the day they took on The Vipers Posion."

Meanwhile on Bevelle King Bradley recived the message from his allies in orbit barly. Communcations were still offline and was unable to respond for the moment. But if anyone thought Bevelle would be safe untell a enemy fleet arived would be wroung. Bevelle was the heart and birth place of Yevon. The Crusaders were already on the world not in a great number. But they were elite troops from The Republic Wars. And soon they would unleash death apone bevelle.

The Maldoran Fleets made there jump from the Kazar Home System. The ragtag Maldoran Armada had one objective to cause a path of destruction from the Deatharon/Neo Zeta border. The Ship had the symbol of the Antarans painted on to make sure everyone knew this was a Maldoran and not a government backed invasion.

The Arch Duke Nym Kazar was aboard his Command Mothership Antaran's Fury. He sent a highly coded message to the Yevon forces while his Fleets were in there generated wormhole.

We have launched are forces to begin a distraction for your grand plans to topple the hertic Government of Neo Zeta

Signed Arch Duke Nym Kazar.

As Maester Seymour read the message a evil grin came apone his face. He turned to a Teenage girl dressed in all black. It was Luna tho her body had aged to that of a 15 year old do to Narakus will. " What do you see happening." Seymour said to Luna.

Luna points on a halo map the path of the Deatharon forces as she forsees it. Then the path of a allied fleet heading to face the 'Greater Threat' the Deatharon fleet has. " While the foolish men and women go to face our allies... We will strike the heart of Neo Zeta takeing over. From there we destroy the current goverment and the people will see Yevons power is real and follow you once more."

The thirty SeaQuestian gun-ships split into six groups of five ships each and began to patrol the system. While the Elvenbane fleet sat in orbit around Bevelle, the Elvenblood and Elvenborn fleets were prepped for launch. Each fleet would launch from its own secret facility.

Bridge of the Witch Hunter

"Ma'am. According to the schedule, the Elvenblood and Elvenborn fleets should be joining us soon."

"Good. We don't know what we are up against and could use the additional fire-power those two fleets will bring."

"Also, on another note, we haven't recieved a response from the surface."

The Lieutenant looked at her.

Sena said, "I know what your thinking. The reports we have only mention the fact of an uprising, not where its located."

She grinned and got up.

"Prep a ship," she ordered, "I'm going down there to talk to the head of the Neo Zeta government myself."

She pulled a pair of half-moon shaped glasses from a pocket and twirled them as she left the bridge.

The Lieutenant gulped as he carried out her orders. He knew what it meant when she pulled those out.

OOC: Robin Sena is the most talented and the most powerful pyrokinetic that the Salomon Organization has to offer.

Wormhole Exit Neo Zeta side of border...

The Maldoran Armada had finally arrived with there shields up and weapons on line. The Fleets immediatly open fire upon Neo Zetan ships. (Military or civilian.) The Maldoran had begun. The Arch Duke/Avatar of the Antarans Nym Kazar saids to the Armada via internal Psy link : "Today, Is the day that the Will of the Antarans will be felt by outsiders let the Maldoran begin death to the infidels hertics and the inferior races."

The Cry of Maldoran was sounded throught out the Armada as the religious Zelots of the Maldoran Legions started to kill the infidels...

Bevelle Capital City Slums is where I stood watching a group of thugs beat down a mother and child. The same child who asked if i was the Great Admiral Hiei.

" Leave us alone!" The Woman said holding her daughter who cried.

" Why should we you none Yevon scum will be killed anyway. Didnt you know Maester Seymour is on his way here to clean the world of scum like you." One of the three thugs said

I could stand no more for some odd reasion i had to act and so i did.

"You put your faith in Seymour... You worms dont even know the teachings of Yevon yet you would call a none follower scum? I say its better to admit not being a follower then clameing to be one yet knowing nothing of it." I said walking out my cloak thrown over to show my sword drawn held in my left hand.

The thugs turned " Who the hell do you think you are? You little worm i am going to mess you up real good."

" Who the hell am i?" At first i didnt even know but then i remembered why lived in the first place. " I am your nightmare... I am the darkness that will tear your soul to shreads. I am Hiei shadow warrior and over all ass kicker of punks like you!" I said no more and i moved with lightning speed removeing the heads of the thugs cleanly. They never stood a chance i can kill Jedi and Sith with ease these guys were just outmatched.

The girl looked up at me " You really are Hiei arnt you!"

I looked down at her " Yes i am."

The mother looked up as well " Thank you Lord Hiei."

I nod as i heard explosions going off in random areas of he city. It was unorganized mostly, Yevon Loyalist and thugs like the ones i dealt with. No the real Crusaders will make a much larger and bloodyer attack here. But when well thats somthing to worry about when it happens. My best bet is to head to the Royal Palace thats where the action will be when it comes.

Robin's Windwider class (http://www.b5tech.com/centauri/centauriships/centaurifighters/atshuttle.jpg) multi-role shuttle touched down as close as she could get to the capital building. She walked down the ramp with her glasses perched on her nose, a Zat'Nikatal (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b91/SeaQuest_Sim/zatextend.jpg) in her right hand, a Nevian P-Gun holstered on her right hip, a disrupter pistol (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Weapons/cardassian-phaser.jpg) holstered on her left hip, and two disrupter rifles hanging from straps on her left and right shoulders. She was prepared for anything.


OOC: Here is a pic that has both the disrupter pistol and disrupter rifle in it.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Weapons/cardie-weapons2.jpg

OOC: Will edit if you want...

IC: The Maldoran Armada started to target planets with cities on them. The Armada would at first orbit bombard the defenses and once secure would drop thousands of Ithkul Drones on the surface. The Drones had the order of killing all life inside the cities and capturing a few for food for the Maldoran Forces.

OOC: Ithkul need host bodies and the Deatharon's Devour brains.

OOC: Tag for later response.

Sitting on the roof of one of the Palaces sub buildings Envy looked down at Robin. Envy was most displeased with Yevons little temper fit and it was hurting his plans. Tho he would rather stay out of the direct fighting.

Five Abh-Fayth Clones came running up to robin and pointed their weapons at her " This is a restricted area and by the order of The Fuhrer King Bradley no one is to enter."

OOC: Thats ok Deatharon just as long as they arnt major population centers but colonys then its fine. Cant have my major populations centers destroyed atleast not yet lol.

Deep in inter-galactic space

The Elvenblood fleet and the Elvenborn fleet joined up with the Halfblood fleet deep in inter-galactic space. They had reached phase two of the launch plan. Phase three would see them jumping to the edge of Neo Zeta controlled space and phase four would see them joining the Elvenbane fleet in orbit around Bevelle.

I.S.S. Witch Hunter - Bridge

"I hope she knows what she's doing down there," said Lieutenant Junior Grade Brent, "I think she should have taken some of my security forces with her."

The Lieutenant from earlier spoke up.

"The Admiral knows what she can do," Lieutenant Lee replied, "I've served with her long enough to know that she can take care of herself and others if the need arises," he smiles, "and I know that from personnel experince."

Planet's Surface - Admiral Robin's landing site

Robin looked around. She kept her Zat'Nikatal at the ready in case it was needed. She then proceeded to set off. Though, not knowing her way around, she had no idea which way to head to get to the capital building. So, she simply chose a direction at random. She looked up and started when the clone spoke. She hadn't cleared the area as well as she thought she had. She was out of practice.

Keeping her Zat'Nikatal arm lowered, she said, "I only came down to see why Fuhrer King Bradley hadn't responded to my message," she deactivated the Zat'Nikatal but kept it out, "I'm Admiral Robin Sena of the SeaQuestian Elvenbane fleet.

"Oh," she added with a strange fire in her eyes, "I wouldn't have come alone if I couldn't take care of myself."

OOC: Typo with name. Accidently switched first and last names earlier. My bad. I'll fix it in the other posts.

OOC: Yeah they were border colonies that the Maldoran would target. We plan to let Yevon's crusader hit the major centers. The Maldoran Armada is staying near the border so they can run into Imperial Space and hide from Neo Zeta's wraith behind the proper Imperial Navy.

The Guards give another warning to Robin " Ma'am if you dont stop we will have to shoot!"

" Wait a moment there guards its ok." Julite Dougless said as she walked up " She has been expected by King Bradley." She turns and bows slightly to Admiral Robin " I am Julite Dougless aid to The King i am here to escort you to meet with him."

A brief image of a Neo Zetan colony under Maldoran Attack...

The Ithkul Drones tens of thousands of them marched towards a Neo Zetan city on a border planet. The Drones opened fire with Distengrator rifles and plasma grenades. The Ships in orbit provided heavy support by launching Naquata enchanced warheads across the Country side with the goal of weaken the defenses on the ground. A series of Ground Distnegrator Cannons were positioned behind the vast army of Drones. They unleashed holy hell upon the city with Distengrator fire. The people in the city were running into secure locations. The Neo Zetan Ground forces had to contend with the massive army knocking at there back door...

Robin stops walking and places in the Zat'Nikatal in its holster on her left fore-arm.

"Well, Ms. Douglas," Robin says bowing right back, her uniform (http://www.ussmiranda.com/images/uniforms/2373/whitedutyvestf.jpg) rustling as she straightened, "Its nice to meet you. I'm Admiral Robin Sena, commanding officer of the Elvenbane fleet currently in orbit of this world. Oh, and I apologize if I mispronounced your name."

She know that many took one look at her and underestimated her due to the fact that she looked fifteen. Well, in fact, that was her current body's actual physical age, but it wasn't her first. The Salomon Organization had been given its own cloning facility by the Empire.

A brief image of a Neo Zetan colony under Maldoran Attack...

The Ithkul Commander a Deatharon looked upon the doomed city. He was a devout believer in the ways of the Antarans. He however felt sorry for the poor humans. He had the city surrounded by thousands of Ithkul Drones. He decides to send a giant holo graphic image of himself in the middle of the city. The Commander spoke telepathicly to the crowd, "People of this City if you surrender now. The Maldoran forces will take you prisioner and hold you to the strict protection of P.O.W. standard." The image waited untill the people responded.

Neo Zetan Capitol World

A single ship dropped out of hyperspace at the edge of the system. A small corvette analog, the ship then made a microjump to orbit above the capitol world. Using a villip communicator(OOC: unless the rebels killed it, the villip would still be operational ), one given to each of the heads of state of the GFFA, the Commander onboard attempted to contact the Neo Zetan government.

"This is Commander Jamaane of the Warmonger. We are here as scouts for a much larger fleet. Respond immediately so that we may inform our superiors of the situation. We are here to aid you."

----------------------Edge of Neo Zetan Space----------------------

At the edge of Neo Zetan-controled space, a new asteroid field formed. From a distance, and to most scanners, it appeared as though a massive asteroid field had formed out of nowhere in deep space. However, it was actually the main force of the Talaaxian military aid. Commanded personally by Warmaster Tsavong Lah, the fleet awaited word from Commander Jamaane about where the fleet group was needed. The force is composed of:

Yun-Yammka Fleet
Yun-T'xinn Fleet
Yun-Q'aah Fleet
Yun-Harla Fleet
Yun-Yuuzhan Fleet ( Command Fleet )

Each fleet is composed of:

1 Koros-Strohna Worldship
1 Matalok Command Ship
2 Kor Chokk Grand Cruisers
4 Uro-lk V'ahl Battleships
6 Miid-Ro'ik Warships
4 A-Uek Iiluunu Carriers
12 I'Frii Ma-Nat Frigates
2,564 Coralskippers
Ground Contingents of varying size

The Fourth Fleet was dispatched to Bevelle by order of the Patriarch to assist in suppressing the Yevon insurgency.

Fourth fleet:
1 Elite Star Destroyer, Tyrannosaur
3 Imperial mk III Star Destroyers
5 Missile Star Cruisers
10 Imperial mk II Star Destroyers
15 Victory Star Destroyers
10 Strike Cruisers
8 Wolfpacks
Many fighters
Various ground forces.

Commanding the Fleet was Admiral James Swenson, son and grandson of admirals. Commanding the Marine Corps ground forces was Brigadier General Roy Mustang (:p ). Commanding the special forces to defeat the leaders of the Yevon resistance once and for all are Major Jacob Masaki, Jedi Alchemist; Lieutenant Jacen Masaki, the Water Knight; Jounin Sasuke, leading the ninja forces; and Colonel Yusuke Urameshi, just because he's concerned about Swordmaster Hiei, who's been missing recently. They are all experienced in dealing with Yevon before, and so they will use that experience to take out the enemy.

A corvette heads down to the capital planet Bevelle.

This is the Corvette Jedi Beacon. Requesting clearance for landing.

The messages from the new fleets in orbit had been read by Admiral White. He had gotten reports of the enemy fleets attacks on colony worlds. He sent a brief message back.

Our Colony worlds in sector 45A have come under unknown attack. enemy force is sizeable. Along with the message permission was granted for any ships they wanted to land to land.

Julite smiles " please follow me to the commad center." She said as she pointed to a large dome building near the palace.

Meanwhile on the worlds under attack by Deatharon many of the planets were still unable to call for aid and their garrsions were small. Some citys surrendered while others sent a simple message to the enemy.

Come and take us if you can. We will not give in to your threats.

The team of Four stepped down the ramp of the Corellian-made Corvette and then followed Julite to the command center to talk.

Three entities materialized at the edge of the system, immediately drawing up telemetric information. Two massive Heighliners and a single Godulan Battlefleet drifted in space, brought there by a harried psionic missive sent from the local defense directorate.

>Religious Warlord Conducting Takeover Campaign. Send Assistance.<

And so it was.

A single comms message was sent to the Zetan capitol.

ON THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME BY THE COMMANDER OF ALLIED DEFENSE, CHARGED WITH DEFEATING THREATS BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC, WE SHALL END THIS INSURGENCY. INFORMATION NEEDED TO PINPOINT ENEMY MOVEMENTS, REFER INFORMATION TO THE PSION.

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

As if on cue, a single man walked into the command center, clanking loudly with each step, and bowed curtly.

"Where they at?"

Additional task forces arrived as the situation reports grew worse. With only a few ships, the Eshirian fleet would not contribute much to the fight. That was something that could not stand. No where would the Eshirians be considered weak.

For the next few hours, a torrent of ships and supplies flooded the ES/NZ border. The fleet swelled in size, yet, this was still only a minute taste of what the Sovereignty could fully bring to bear.

The fleet expanded till it's ranks filled with nearly 200 small Ultralights, 8 Preamus Battlecarriers, 30 Shade Cruisers, 10 Line-ships, 30 Colossus planetary strike cruisers, and nearly 1,000 smaller supply vessels of varying scale.

Elements of the ES Far, Hellion, Home Guard, and Vigilant fleets were activated and deployed.

While it was no where near as diverse as comparable allied armadas, it reflected the Eshirian Military's focus on fighters as the premier front line unit, and its philosophy of an efficient, high quality, and highly capable force of ships that while puny in numbers, held juggernaut status in raw power. All in all, the total of fighters carried by the various ships exceeded, 4,600.

More vessels were arriving by the minute, however, the first units had already begun to advance.

Prime Admiral Lui'ran stood quietly in on the observation deck of the ESV Sal'ir, en route to the Command Center,

Planet's Surface

Robin followed Julite Dougless as she led the way. She glanced down at the combage (http://www-rnks.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/~tweimann/logos/communicator/1024_Communicator%20-%2029th%20century.jpg) pinned to her chest. It was a first generation model and one of four different designs. Each design was designated for a different branch. She was still getting used to not carrying a Rune Stone or Vo'cume around. Of course, she thought that the wrist communicators that the Emperor had commisioned after he saw the Abh's in action would be less easy to lose. But, she also was unaware of the fact that the model she wore was coded for her use only and wasn't as easy to lose as she thought.

Orbit

The incoming SeaQuestian fleets moved out of Hyperspace Windows in the Bevelle star system and moved into formation with the fleet already there. The Elvenblood, Elvenbane, and Halfblood fleets had identical ship compostions as the Elvenbane fleet. The only one of the five anti-Shadow fleets that hadn't assembled was the Elvenblade fleet.

OOC: This is the most ships I have ever assembled in one spot. At least one-hundred of my ships here.

Admiral Trife stepped up to the bridge where his Chief of Staff was waiting. "Did you inform Admiral Spoor?"

Major Kayule turned at the question. "Yes Admiral. She has been informed and knows her duties while we are away."

Trife nodded. "Good. I guess it is time to lend aid to our long time allies the Zetans. Reports show that more than enough forces have been dispatched to fend off the Crusaders and that pathetic religion of Yevon."

Kayule raised a brow. "Then what you intend for us to do if we would prove redundant as firepower?"

Trife's cape flew up behind him revealing his command saber as he turned. "Deatharon forces have begun attacking Zetan colonies. We shall deal with them since they have gone unchallenged. Abh forces will move through the Sord to Neo Zeta's borders where we will travel through Space Time to reach the Deatharon forces. We have a new ship design to try out and a few ground forces on standby ready for a field test. The other half of our forces will travel through Hyperspace. Apparently they are staying close to their home border to hide behind their fleets. We will cut them off from such an escape and force them to fight us. I have word that 20 VCDs, 50 Whitestars, 30 Omega-X Destroyers, and the new Rambird are already in route. We will take 100 Guardships, 500 Attack Vessels, and 200 Frontlineships to give them a front. Prepare the fleet. We are moving out."

The Abh forces entered the nearby Sord heading for the supposed location where Deatharon zealots were launching their attacks. Other forces were skimming the Deatharon border to make their way to the same location. It would take them about an hour to arrive.

Los Angeles-

Robert met with the Politburo. They met each other, skeptical of the other's motives. The Politburo wanted to spend no more on war. Robert wanted to intervene, preferably as soon as possible.

Loud words flew. The Politburo men accused him of entangling New Dornalia into a costly war. Robert accused them of being hypocrites, and had to fight with words, some nasty.

But, he was able to assemble a warfleet to aid the Neo Zetans. And he was authorized to use the Battlestar Potemkin. A Drama Casserole class ship, it would indeed be the big stick, the stick that would quiet the putsch.

So, here it was:

1st Fleet-

1 Drama Casserole class ship-8,000 fighters
60 Mao Zedong III Battleships
60 Prochkhorovka II Fleet Carriers- 2,400 fighters each
100 Trotsky Escort Carriers
70 Prochkhorovka I Fleet Carriers
70 Relay Mobile Suit Carriers

These units set off for Neo Zeta, assembling at one of the border colonies in the New Wuhan (Tau Ceti OOC: I also have some stakes in Tau Ceti.) Region before setting off.....in the meantime, reserve ships were being called up, in case the rebels were cleverer than thought. Still, they would not back down, the alliance would be firm.

Meanwhile, another message was sent to the Neo Zetan Government-

To: Furher King Bradley
From: Premier Robert MacIntyre, New Dornalia

I am sending ships to aid you, including my mightiest vessel, the Battlestar Potemkin. Where do you need us?

Aboard the flagship Legacy of Torment

Tsavong Lah stood at the rear of the bridge, watching over his various underlings as they went about their various duties. The ship ran as smoothly as any other in the galaxy. Of course, it had to. Those who failed to please the Warmaster paid for their mistake with their lives.

A lowly subaltern standing over the villip choir suddenly perked up and turned to the Warmaster. Snapping off a salute, he gave his report. "Warmaster, we have received word from Commander Jamaane. He states that the Neo Zetan colony worlds in "sector 45A" are under attack. The Neo Zetans suggest we position ourselves there to deal with the infidel threat."

Tsavong Lah turned his head slightly to look at the subaltern. "Very well. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, Warmaster. It seems the Abh fleet has dispatched forces to that sector as well."

"Hm, establish contact with them. I wish to speak with the Abh commander at once..."

Immediately the subaltern turned back to the villip choir and stroked several areas until a rough approximation of static began to eminate from them. "You may speak, Warmaster."

Tsavong Lah stepped to the villip choir, straightened his back and spoke with a voice seeping with authority. "Attention Abh fleet, this is Warmaster Tsavong Lah of Talaax. I will be deploying my forces to the Neo Zetan colony worlds opposite your borders. I wish to speak with your commander in order to discuss joint strategy."

The I.S.S. Arkheim's Razor, the flagship of the Elvenblood fleet, the I.S.S. Daimon Raitus, the flagship of the Elvenborn fleet, and the I.S.S. Psiren's Song, the flagship of the Halfblood fleet, moved into formation with the I.S.S. Witch Hunter, the flagship of the Elvenbane fleet. The computers of the the four ships linked together. While the commanding officers of the Daimon Raitus, the Psiren's Song, and the Arkheim's Razor discussed and planned out any possible engagement, the linked computers calculated and designed thousands of different moves the helm officers could pull off.

The New Dornalian Fleet began to move towards Neo Zeta's borders, on full hyperspace. Fully assembled now, it traveled in a standard box formation, moving inexorably to try and aid the Neo Zetans.

Meanwhile, the Potemkin used its Bosun Jump, and soon appeared near the border, in a flash of light. It began materializing, and as it did, the crew onboard got a sense of what the situation looked like....

Major Kayule approached the Admiral's chair while he was sitting there with his eyes closed. "Excuse me Admiral?"

Trife slowly opened his eyes and pulled out his alpha from the two ports in the chair. "Your timing is impecable. I was just viewing some of my favorite pieces of art. What is it major?"

"Sir there is a communication coming through on the villip that Admiral Spoor gave us."

The admiral smirked. "It seems the woman is more clever than I thought. I'll be right there."

The Admiral got off his chair and made his way over to the villip that was stationed on the bridge. He massaged it as it unfolded. "This is Admiral Trife of the 3rd fleet from the Abh Empire. What kind I do for you Warmaster Tsavong Lah?"

"I have already stated my reasons for contactiong you." Tsavong Lah said impatiently. "Nonetheless, I've contacted you to discuss a joint operation against the treacherous forces attacking colony worlds. I plan on moving to Colony 334 in sector 45A. From the patten of attacks on colony worlds, it seems that the enemy is attacking in a straight line. We predict that 334 will be their next target. I plan to ambush their forces in that system. I would be honoured if your forces would join us."

Trife smiled. Ah a commander he could relate to. Someone just as impatient as he. "The honor would be all ours. We have Sords in the Neo Zetan systems and can easily divert to that sector without delay. I have the other half of our forces in Hyperspace, I will divert them as well. I can use the bulk that is in Space Time to hault their advance while the others hit them from the sides. Your forces my cut the rear off and link with our forces on the sides. No need to worry about your men. Those ships are organic. Does this fall well with your designs?"

"No, I plan to..." The Warmaster divulged his plan to the Abh Admiral. Having gotten his agreement, Tsavong Lah cut the communications and issued orders for the fleets to move out - destination Colony 334.

On arrival the ships would merge into the system's existing asteroid field [ Talaaxian ships only ]. The ships already resembled space rock, so much so that normal scans would register them as asteroids. Hiding amongst the existing asteroids would render them almost invisible. They would lie in wait until Deatharon forces arrived in system to sack the colony, then move in to crush them.

OOC: Basically what I've done is extrapolate your attack vector and set up camp in your path. You may choose to ignore this and just say you skipped over the system if you want, but if you're looking for some sort of action this is where it will happen.

The Admiral walked back up to the bridge where Major Kayule waited. "Well?"

Admiral Trife looked up. "We are heading for Colony 334. What do you mean well? Give the other ships in Hyperspace the order to head back to the colony."

"Yes Admiral."

The Abh fleet moved through plane space heading for the colony while the other half in Hyperspace moved to the same location.

The doors opened to the command center as Julite Dougless brought the people in.

" They are here sir " She said as she walked out of the room closeing the door behind her.

King Bradley turned around the normal smile on his face gone. " Yevon and some relgiouse warriors from Deatharon have started a full rebellion. We dont know the postion of any Yevon Fleet at the moment. They are useing many diffrent ways to blind in with normal Neo Zetan forces. However as stated befor we know where atleast some of the Deatharon forces are."

He points to a screen " We are takeing heavy loses do to our fleets cant be reached and informed of the situtation." He was stopped befor he could say anything else as a alarm rang and a transmission poped up.

Attn High Command this is the Goverment of Neo Paris. We have come under attack by Droids and some Crusaders we can guess enemy troops number 78,000 enemy troops on the ground. Enemy space forces unknown. We had 10 cruisers in orbit and have yet to be able to hail them. We only have 10,000 troops we cant hold out much longer. Need aid yesterday!!

King Bradley turns to th delegation " We need to aid New Paris its a planet near the heart of the empire in sector I29"


Meanwhile near the ES/ND/NZ borders a Yevon task force pretending to be a NZ fleet moved closer to the border. The forces numbered 400 ships.

OOC:the battle of Doth will be posted next post i hope

Robin said, after giving a half-bow in greeting, "This will be a great chance to test out SeaQuest's new anti-Shadow designs.

"What are the co-ordinates of Neo Paris?"

The Psion took a look at the massive situation screen, noting the sketchy reports and taking in all the potential hotspots, including Neo Paris.

"Are there any other areas not responding as normal? Or is the Deatharon fleet all at Neo Paris, if such information is available?"

"Good question. I think we should move some scouts into those areas." Colonel Urameshi said. "Even if we can't communicate via Holonet or whatever, we can still use couriers and scouts, even if they would be hours late...or sooner, with some of our friends." He glanced at the guy Godular sent.

"What? We've been busy."

"I meant more in the matter of expediency. You are the fastest FTL users in the alliance, or am I mistaken?" Yusuke clarified.

"Well, for short jumps you'll find nobody better. We're somewhat slower on the longer range transits though. Travel time sort of scales up according to distance. While we can hop about battlefields like rabbits on PCP, we're somewhat sluggish on intergalactic transits."

"Oh. In that case, we all should chip in on the scout front anyway." Yusuke said.

"That would be the prudent course, yes."

The two warfleets led by the Arch Duke Nym Kazar head towards a system full of asteriods. Normal Deatharon military protocol would have started deep scans of the fields for hidden ships but being a large para military group the Maldoran Legion Fleets lacked the knoweldge of such tatics. The Warfleets open fire by launch a volley of Alpha class missiles at the planet from there postions on the far side of the system. The Goal knock out any planetary shields or orbital defenses.


OOC: I want action, so here are my forces.
Please also note
One Warfleet holds about:

1 Command Mothership
30 Motherships
35 Imperial Heavy BattleCruisers
45 Imperial Assualt Cruisers
150 Imperial Attack Ships

For Side note there are about 25 Harvester Hive Fleets along with these Warfleets. (Holding the vast amount of Ithkul Drones.

"So there is a Military Zealot running wild in the Neo-Zetan System?"
"That is what they are saying Sir."
"So....what are our options..."
"Well we can send the 1st Expeditionary Fleet."
"Jesus is that all..well it will have to do."
"Sir I'll brief the Admirality..
"I guess we will have to pay the Zetans back sooner than expected..."


Naval Operations Center, Presidental Palace
Admiralty Briefing

Star Admiral Harper stood in front of the other Admirals. "This is our first Operation...we Will be sending aid to the Neo-Zetan Government."
"But, Sir we onlt have one fleet and it's not even a Heavy fleet at that...what kind of help can we give?"
"Think of this as a Real-Time field Test. Our new weapons need testing."
"Alright Sir...."

1st Fleet Stageing Area
Outside Moon Orbit

"Where going where?" Fleet Admiral Hasing looked at his XO in disbelief.
"Sir were going to the Border of the Neo-Zetan Home System."
"With this Raggdy-Ass Fleet?"
"I guess so Sir."
Fleet Admiral Hasing opened up a Comm. Link between his fleet. "All ships prepare for a IP jump at said corridents....Set jump time for 5 minutes."
After some disbileving Remarks from his Ship Captians, he got an "Ok" from everyone. After 5 minutes each ship jumped...the arrival of the 1st Expeditionary Fleet in the Neo-Zetan Home-Syetem should be about 2-3 days.

1st Expeditionary Fleet

5 FFG-142 "Fox" Class Frigates
1 FCG-443 "Avalance" Class Crusier(Flag Ship)

The battle at Vipers Posion was heating up and in a hurry....

The 12th fleets weapons came online atlast tho they were down to 43 ships by this time. Fighters were luanched and begian dogfights with enemy fighters and enemy capital ships.

The Crusader ships in the fleet pulled back to fire from a longer range as the Droid ships pulled forword to take on the close range fighting. The fighting was brutal as the ships dualed each other.

John looked at his operations officer " Weapions?"

" 2 mintues sir" he said

" Damn it all... Have the Greece and Alexander go around the planet with the four new missle cruisers. Tell them to come around on the enemys backside in 1 hour." John said

" One hour" The communcations officer said

" Dont worry i know what i am doing" John said

But the enemy had a plan of their own plan as droids loaded onto 20 fast actions transports. Soon Vipers Posion Command Station would be fighting hand to hand.

OOC: Tired reply to other post tommrow

An officer entered the chamber hesitantly and snapped off a salute. "Warmaster?"

Tsavong Lah looked up from his place of reverence infront of his ancestor's bones. "Yes, Commander?"

"The enemy fleet has arrived in system, we are unnoticed." The Commander replied, his confidence now back in full.

"Excellent, prepare a line of communications to the Abh." Tsavong Lah said, standing up and following the Commander to the bridge. Stopping infront of the blaze bug display showing the enemy fleet first, he then stepped to the villip choir. "Admiral Trife, our guests have arrived. Move in now."

OOC: We haven't made a move yet, so we should still be unnoticed. Villip communications are much more difficult to monitor than subspace.

Robin waited patiently for Bradley's response. As the highest ranking officer in the five SeaQuestian anti-Shadow fleets, she could order one or more of the other three fleets that had arrived in orbit to be dispatched to Neo Paris to help out.

Bradley hands a data padd with the information of New Paris to the delgations there.

" As of now we are sending messages back and forth to our fleet via old communcations signals however the lag is horrbile some times even a day behind. Many patrol areas are still yet to be check on and the 12th threw 18th fleets have yet to be messaged do to being so fare in the backwater systems. For now we know Deatharon forces are attacking here"

He pointed at a holo map

" And the Yevon forces here at New Paris. It seems to me they may be trying to link tho what they gian other then a joint effort is beyound me."

Admiral Trife notice the villip vibrating from a message. He was greeted by the Warmaster. "Understood. Forces shall be pulling out of the Sord in five minutes. Trife out."

The Admiral turned back to his Chief of Staff. "Give order for the Guardships and Attack Vessels to move out of the Sord. I want the Keldief out as well. If they see a flagship present then this will make things easier."

Major Kayule looked back. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. Now go."

100 Frontlineships along with 200 Attack Vessels pulled out of the Sord in front of the planet to block the Deatharon attack. The last ship to pull out was the Keldiej, the flagship of Trife's fleet.

Message to Deatharon forces~
You have invaded allied space with hostile intent. You are to turn back now or face the Abh fleet. We give you one chance to surrender now and turn back before you are destroyed.

The Admiral looked over at his comm officer. "Launch communication shuttles for all Guardships to keep weapon systems armed and all Attack Vessels on full alert."

Outside Neo-Zetan Space
1st Expeditionary Fleet

8 Blue Ripples Appeared and soon the Ships Broke out of them. Shields Flickered online.
Fleet Admiral Hasing abored the Crusier Honor, looked at his Battle Screen.
"Alright, have all ships form up in a defensive Circle."
"Aye Sir."
"Have all Sensors running at Full."
"Aye."
"Start Fighter Picket Patrols 90 Km From Ships."
"Aye."
"Get all Defensive Weapons online and Warmed-up."
"Aye Sir"
"Broadcast our Ship IDs On Frequencys used by Abh, and Seaquestian Forces. I want to know our relative position to them."
"Sir, we arent gonna broadcast to the Neo-Zetan Forces?"
"We don't know what frequency the Zealots are watching."
"Aye Sir."
"Get me each Ship Captin on a Conference Call."
Weapons came online and flickered with energy. Fighters left Docking bays and started thier Patrols.

Torusumi said, "Neo Paris, eh? Then we go. Comrades, sally forth!!"

The Potemkin, which by now had been joined by the other fleet, began moving towards New Paris, at full speed. This message, meanwhile, was sent out to all allied forces:

"This is Marshal Rose Torusumi of the New Dornalian Red Army/People's Navy Joint Strike Force. We are here to provide assitance. What is your SITREP?"

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

Meanwhile, near the ND/ES/NZ Border-

A patrol ship near the border noticed the new arrivals on its scanners. The personnel onboard were, to say the elast, interested.

"Hey Comrade Captain?" said the Comms Officer.

"Yes?" said the Captain, getting up from his coffee.

"You'd better take a look at this."

The captain, sighing, got up and went to the console. He was greted by a massive reading that could only be made by a fleet sized entity. Or, a really huge computer foulup.

He then said, "By Lenin's Goatee.....hail them."

A message was soon flashed, the standard, it said:

"Attention, Unidentified Ship. You are entering New Dornalian Space. In the name of the Workers and Peasants, halt your movements and identify ourselves."

Outside Neo-Zetan Space/Inside New Dornalia Space

"Sir, Unidentified Ships have Broadcast thier ID's They are New Dornalia Ships, Sir they want to know who we are and what we are doing here."
"Well, son tell them."

We are the Yukatanian 1st Expeditionary Fleet, We are here to provide assistance to the Neo-Zetan Governemnt. We are sorry to have appeared in your Space, we had no prior knowlagde that this area of space was Inhadbited.

The Eight ships had stopped thier movements awaiting a response. From the Abh/Seaquest Fleets or the New Dornalia Fleet.

The Arch Duke/Avatar of the Antarans Nym Kazar Command Mothership Antaran's Fury's recieved the Abh message. The Arch Duke read it and sent one in reply:

The Antarans demand the fall of Neo Zeta's heritic government. We suggest you head home or face the wraith of the servants of the Gods.


The Warfleets readjust there weapon's targeting systems and start to target the Abh ships.

The Commander of the fleet approuching the boarder smiles " They are confused. Send out the war cry our mission is to hold them at all cost and let Seymour deal with Bevelle."

Allies of Neo Zeta ready yourself Yevons wrath is apone you. Your ships will be destroyed.. No mercy will be granted every last persion in your fleet will die.

The fighters luanched and stayed near the capital ships as they aprouched the ND and ES borders. ETA untell fireing range 9 mintues.

Meanwhile the battle of New Paris was going badly the garrision was now fighting street to street with people trying to flee as the Droid Army surronded the city and took the outskirts. Massacers were being commited by the Yevon Crusader forces who came behind. They wanted to break the will of the people to fight back and show the wrath of yevon.

Back at the 12th fleet HQ " Intruder alert!" sounded the computer as four enemy drop ships fought their way into a open hanger. Droids flooded from the drop ships as fire fights broke out. The marine force on the station was quick to pin the droids down in the hanger. But 6 more drop ships were only moments away.

" Weapons Online sir!!" Yelled the operations officer

" FIRE AT WILL!!" Yelled john as a enemy shot hit the command decks shiled. The station fired its four heavy laser turrets at enemy capital ships which now numbered 49 to their 29. A Neo Zetan cruiser could be seen ramming a Droid Battleship as a last ditch attack with its weapons gone. The lose of life was almost overwellming for some of the younger military members. But for John a vet of the Gaian war and Republic wars he knew if they didnt end it soon this would only be the start.

But Bevelle was about to see action soon as well. A lone Exitus Class Battlecruiser commanded by Bankotsu entered the Bevelle system.

He smiles " Almost there now." he says as he looks over the hanger bay where troops load into their drop ships. once he landed that could be the signal for Yevon forces on Bevelle to start to clean the world of none faithful.

Tsavong Lah watched the blaze bug display with delight. "They have sprung the trap. Put me through to the other vessels."

"Yes sir!" a young warrior replied immediately, then after a slight delay. "Communications open, Warmaster."

"Excellent. Attention all vessels! Battle is upon us! Strike fast and mercilessly! Destroy the traitorous infidels!" The Warmaster paused a few seconds before issuing specific orders. "Yun-T'xiin and Yun-Q'aah shall manuever behind the enemy. Carrier vessels will use their dovin basals to project gravity wells throughout the system. They will not be allowed to leave. Yun-Harla and Yun-Yammka will strike their right flank with all available force. Press them further into the system. With their backs against the sun we will destroy them! Yun-Yuuzhan will remain in reserve."

No sooner had he finished speaking than did the fleets begin moving as one to carry out his orders. Yammosk war coordinators, working together to coordinate every vessel's movements. All vessels began launching coralskippers, who began throwing themselves head-long at the enemy fleet, harrassing enemy capital ships with coordinated attacks from each side. Larger vessels, SSD-analogs and smaller, began to open fire as soon as they were clear of the asteroids. Streaks of plasma fire criss-crossed the space between fleets as the armada opened fire with all available weapons and closed the gap.

Outside Neo-Zetan Space/Inside New Dornalia Space

"Sir, Unidentified Ships have Broadcast thier ID's They are New Dornalia Ships, Sir they want to know who we are and what we are doing here."
"Well, son tell them."



The Eight ships had stopped thier movements awaiting a response. From the Abh/Seaquest Fleets or the New Dornalia Fleet.


(OOC: Hey, this is along my border too... '...along the ND/ES/NZ border...')

IC:

Along the frontier, ACE-Recon reported a number of vessels transmitting a few messages back and forth with the New Dornalian fleet.
Within a few seconds, a transmission was intercepted identifying the vessels as Yukatanian.

Lui'ran stood in silent observation of her forces while the PsiCom Officer broadcast a databurst with information on the Eshirian [me] Fleet to the Yukatanian ships.

OOC: Talaax is that refering to my Warfleets?

IC: Coming Soon?

"Alright, then." Jacob Masaki keyed his comlink to Admiral Swenson. "Admiral, send a detachment to New Paris and have them take out the Yevon fleet there. Secondly, start sending recon fighters and probe droids out to the other systems and see what's happening with them."

"Will do, Major." The Admiral replied. "Task Force Tygris will be sent to quell the uprising."

"Good. That'll be all."

Soon, a four Star Destroyer task force detached itself from the main fleet and along with a few escorts, made the jump to hyperspace for New Paris. Then, recon fighters and droids dropped out of fighter bays and also zipped into hyperspace for the various systems. It is most definitely a good idea to get an idea of the whole situation...

The Psion silently relayed the information to the fleet overhead. As if by instinct, HellKite squadrons began vanishing from existence, acting as patrols into nearby systems.

About half of the Battlefleet vanished, departing for New Paris to engage the rebel forces there. Half of the remainder moved out to reinforce the HellKite patrols, and the quarter that remained stayed in orbit over Bevelle. The Heighliners also remained, but their activity cycles went up by about an order of magnitude...

OOC: Yes it is. I'm not involved in the Neo Paris battle.

Admiral Trife smiled as the Deatharon forces closed in and locked on to the Abh forces. He turned to Major Kayule with a wicked grin. "Bring the rest of the forces into battle. Give the signal for our men in Hyperspace to attack."

"Yes sir. The Talaaxian forces have begun their attack as well."

300 Attack Vessels sprung up out of the Sord and formed up on the other wing of Attack Vessels. 200 Frontlineships slowly pulled out as well and formed four columns of 50 infront of the planet. They shut their engines down and remained stationary.

In Hyperspace the word was given for the forces to pull out. To the left of the Deatharon forces, opened up several jump points. 20 Victory Class Destroyers and 25 Whitestars came out of Hyperspace with weapons fully armed. Level 1 firing came from the Destroyers' bow, strong enough to destroy any large asteroid. Whitestars flew through the fleet to cause confusion.

On the right side of the Deatharon forces came the 30 Omega-X Destroyers and the remaining 25 Whitestars. The Omega-Xs fired their Fusion Beam Cannons and Light Fusion Beams into the fleet. It was also accompanied by two forward turrets that were a scaled down version of the Shadow Death Ray but still quite powerful. Each one was wrapped in shadow bio-armor.

Surface

Robin transmitted the information up to the Witch Hunter. The data was input into the computer so that the other fleet flagships would get the info as well via the computer link-up.

Orbit

The linked computers of the four fleet flagships had calculated a course of action: the Halfblood and Elvenbane fleets would remain in orbit of Beville, the Elvenblood fleet would tranist to aid the Talaaxian forces against the Deatharon ships, and the Elvenborn fleet would transit to Neo Paris to help out there.

The Elvenblood fleet began to move out first. Once it had reached a safe distance, they engaged the new Third Space Jump drives. They would be traveling at three times the speed available via Hyperspace Jump drives and twice that than could be done using Hyperspace Window generators.

Surface

Returning her attention to the others, Robin said, "Two SeaQuestian fleets will remain in orbit while the other two are dispatched, one to each of the designated co-ordinates."

As Bankotsus ship neared a message was sent by Yevon forces hidden on Bevelle. The message was sent to all G.F.F.A ships and buildings in Neo Zeta.

We know your every move, We have heard your every word,we know you all well. We have nothing left to prove, your threats are meaningless to us, we are your hell. Every time we have every time you think we are done we come back strounger. We will fight untell there is nothing left none of you will will forget us. We will fight to our final breath just to see you fall,we will make you fear us. None will be safe in this war this is for Yevon and the faithful. We will put you all in the ground.

This was Yevons great war speech. On bevelle time was running out in moments Bankotsus ship would be in orbit. But sadly for Neo Zeta is was useing a current code. It would seem like a normal patrol ship.

The message was recieved by the Godulan vessels over Bevelle, and the reaction could only be characterized as curious.

Blah blah blah...

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

"Origin of message?"

"Definitely in-system comms, commander. The thing came from almost on top of us. Its one of the Zetan vessels."

"Have our psions scan them all. Focus on disposition, then location. As soon as we spot the hostile, swat it out of the sky."

Several moments passed, and the notice came.

"Positive contact! Approaching high orbit over Bevelle. Transmitting a standard Zetan code, disposition registers as openly hostile, potential suicidal actions imminent."

"Squadron 34-alpha, intercept and challenge!"

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

With that, ten Makos broke from the Vanguard, vanishing from the fleet and rematerializing in the path of Bankotsu's vessel.

Neo Zetan Vessel, you will halt your present course immediately. Refusal to comply will result in forceful response.

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

The Psion, still in the command room pointed out the vessel in question.

"Incursion attempt. Intercepting."

Along the NZ/DS/ES Border
1st Expeditionary Fleet

After a few hours of Conversation with the other Ships Captians Fleet-Admiral Hasing Came up with a plan.
"Alright, we will take up positions With the Seaquestian Fleets Orbiting Belville, once there we can contact Fuhrer King Bradley And see about postioning Our Marine Forces on planet.", "If we cannot get allowment to position our Marine Forces then we will either Have the Fat Ladys return to our Home System, or we will keep them on station."
"Sir, are we going to get any reinforcments to our eight ship fleet?"
"Yes, the Frigates Orion, Constillation, and Freedom along with the Crusiers Knight, and Angel will be joining us once we take up our positions at Belville.", "We will call this incoming fleet the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet."
"So Five Ships will be joining us then?"
"Yes."
"All Ships, Recall all fighters, prepare for an In-System Jump, We will be jumping to the Neo-Zetan Planet of Belville, location at these corrdnets, Jump in 10."

2nd Expeditionary Fleet

3 FFG-142 "Fox" Class Frigate

Frigate/Crusier Marine Forces
3 Full Companies Total: 288 Men (Out of this 3 Platoons Are ODST Total of 72 Men)(Frigates)

Armoured Forces: 2 Armoured Companies (Total of 24 Vehicles)(Crusiers)
Dropships: 6 (Frigates)
24 (Crusiers)

The Tygris Star Destroyer battlegroup reverted to realspace at New Paris to see battle taking place.

Attention all Yevon forces! You are to surrender immediately and submit to the allied forces of the Galactic Federation. Failure to comply will result in immediate destruction!

At the same time, the task force readied weapons and shields for a fierce battle, for religious fanatics are quite possibly the most dangerous foes in any galaxy...

...The fighters luanched and stayed near the capital ships as they aprouched the ND and ES borders. ETA untell fireing range 9 mintues.


A thunderous laughter trembled throughout the fleet as quickly as the message had ended. {Such arrogance!...} Lui'ran thought to herself.

"Ironside Fleet, this is Commander Lui'ran. All ships group to Tsu-Theta-One-Three. Engage enemy fighters, nine minutes."

As per the fleet orders, of the TTOT Battle Plan, all fighters were deployed, forming a literal cloud of fighters which hid the bulk of the fleet from view. All fighters armed themselves with "Thumper" anti-ship torpedoes via their rep-tubes. The few Shade Vessels in the force engaged their cloaks, and jumped to an as yet undisclosed location. The Preamus carriers, Supply ships and Colossus Strike Cruisers moved into the center of the fighter cloud, while the smaller, more nimble Ultra-Light Carriers moved out to edges of the fleet (Including the top and the bottom.) serving as advance scouts, and additional fire support for the fighters. Shields were raised, weapons charged, and the entire hoard of ships braced itself for the oncoming enemy fleet.

The whole process was instantaneous as every vessel jumped to its position. Once the fleet had been reorganized, they made slowly moved farther behind the border. They had a few surprises waiting...

Bankotsu smiles " Dont worry capitan we planned for this. Our forces are dressed the same as Neo Zetan Military and we have all the paper work needed to pass. And our friends in special operations lent us one of their best computer techs." The tech went to work with out even being asked and a moment later smiles

" Done the communcations system has been planted with a sub program. It will make it seem as the message had been piggy backed over many diffrent Neo Zetan military communcations befor the black out and was set off by the a timer. Thus makeing it seem as Yevon used a 'Neo Zetan Loyalist Vessle' to send the message. Its fool proof unless they board us and do a decodeing of the main communcations computer."

Bankotsu left the bridge as the capital replyed to the communcation

This is NZSF Normandy. Identfication code 183 delta B2. Commanding officer Capitan Will Todd. We are comeing to a full stop as asked. We were on patrol in the Fargate System when we had a communcations black out and picked up a graggled message from high command. Some kind of Yevon Communcation was piggy backed on it and hid in our main communcations system. We have isolated it and have stoped it from sending agian.

Meanwhile over New Paris the fleet of 20 Droid Cruisers and 2 Crusader Light Cruisers were over the world. Already fighting 5 heavly damamged Neo Zetan Destroyers.

The Neo Zetan Admiral in charge messaged the allied aid

Thank all that is good your here. We have taken heavy damage and lost the Tunis early in the battle. They have landed reinforcements bringing their number on the world to 90,000. We cant hold out much longer in orbit and it isnt much better on the ground.

The Yevon Fleet stayed in formation but already 90 droid fighters were on a intercept corse for the new arrivels.

At the ES/ND/NZ border the Yevon fleet slowed and came to a stop only 20 secounds from fireing range. This was normal Yevon arrogence they would pray for the souls of their enemys to burn in hell. Secounds later the fleet atlast made it into fireing range and opened up. The Heavy guns aimed at the enemy capital ships as the smaller laser turrets and missles fired at any enemy fighter that came into range. Fighters stayed around assigned ships to act as a arm of them and a shield if need be.

OOC: Ok i think i replayed to it all lol. If not i'm sorry just point it out to me and i will get to it

(OOC Damn you just miss my Fleet (Although a pretty small one at that...) Oh well I'm sure you will get 'em at Belville.)

Yukatanian Space
2nd Expeditionary Fleet

"Alright Everyone prepare for an IP jump location 1st Expeditionary Fleets Position Over Belville."
"Aye"
5 blue spheres appeared over the ships..each ships streched into the IP Space and dissapeared.

1st Expeditionary Fleet
IP Space/ Intransit to Belville

"I've Just gotten word that the 2nd Fleet has jumped ETA 2 days."
"Aye Sir."
XO Eric Chandler looked up at Fleet-Admrial Hasing, "Um Sir...how do you think we will fare against the enemy Forces?"
"Well son, I don't know these are new weapons, New Ships and brand new crews, I can tell you this though..we won't go easily."

The Psion received word of the comms response both via the vessels above and the command room's comms.

"They lie. Excuse or not, disposition reads as hostile. Psionic readings also indicate a notable individual on-board. Hostile. Evidence points to significant reliance upon interior elements within governmental hierarchy. Suggested remedy: purge. We are equipped to assist, in order to prevent external casualties."

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

New Paris-

The Godulan battlefleet completed transit, materializing some distance away from the world itself, and began designating targets. As it gathered telemetry, the message from the Coredian forces went out, and the Godulans prepared their weapons and shields for the main strike.

Meanwhile over New Paris the fleet of 20 Droid Cruisers and 2 Crusader Light Cruisers were over the world. Already fighting 5 heavly damamged Neo Zetan Destroyers.

The Neo Zetan Admiral in charge messaged the allied aid

Thank all that is good your here. We have taken heavy damage and lost the Tunis early in the battle. They have landed reinforcements bringing their number on the world to 90,000. We cant hold out much longer in orbit and it isnt much better on the ground.


The Yevon Fleet stayed in formation but already 90 droid fighters were on a intercept corse for the new arrivels.
Captain Harrington of the Tygis made a decision. "Split up the fleet. Each Impstar is to take on the Droid Cruisers elements. The escorts will deal with the Crusaders. Fighters out?"

"Yes sir, first wings are in position to engage the enemy fighters."

"Good. Let's send them to their gods. Attack!"

The four Star Destroyers maneuvered to bring their full firepower to bear on the enemy droid cruisers and let loose with devastating broadsides of turbolasers and ion cannons. The smaller and faster escorts zoomed forward to engage the Crusader cruisers. Speeding after them were several squadrons of T-65D model X-wings, the standard non-elite interceptors as well as swift A-wings and powerful E-wings backing them up. Nearing the droid fighters, the friendly fighters split north and south of the planetary eclipse and then attacked from above or below the fighters to confuse the droid brains and split their attention between two sets of squadrons...

Bankotsu entered the aft flight deck. There a Drop ship with 10 Crusader Knights waited. Renkotsu and Suikotsu were onboard as well.

Bankotsu smirks " We are close enough to avoid the enemys shots befor we enter the atmospher. This ship will be lost but that is of no matter now. Once of the surfce we need to meet up with the 1st Crusader Knight Divsion near the Tigers Eye River."

They nod as they enter the Drop ship. Moments later the Drop ship zips out of the flight deck attemtping to enter the atmospher befor getting shot down.

The Normandy Opens fire on the ten Makos. The laser turrets and ion cannons of the Exitus Class Star Destroyer were very advanced. But the numbers were not in its favor and would be lost for sure.

The Droid Cruisers turned to the side as well to unleash their full fire power on the Coredian forces. The laser turrets fired along side their ion cannons. The heavy laser turrets targeted Enemy Bridges and sensors.

The Droid Fighters were improved since their old days on the clone wars. But they still had their 'Bugs' The move by the enemy fighters did confuse them some what and a few were lost do to this. They split their forces to engage the enemy fighers. However a new wave was heading out from the Droid ships. Squadrons of bombers and their escorts. They were heading for the Star Destroyers.

OOC: Kinda need Bankotsu to reach the surfce for the story on Bevelle to go forword.

The Star Destroyers' shields held nicely against the enemy as they continued to strike harshly upon the Yevon forces, unstoppably pushing forward to get close enough to launch the Marines. Once in a while, missiles will rush out at the enemy from the escorts to dish out great damage as well.

Meanwhile, the bomber squadrons were detected and a second wing, as the first one was engaged in battling the droid fighters, were dispatched to turn them into scrap metal, permanently. Though there were casualties, the attrition rate was quite acceptable in the battle.

At the ES/ND/NZ border the Yevon fleet slowed and came to a stop only 20 secounds from fireing range. This was normal Yevon arrogence they would pray for the souls of their enemys to burn in hell. Secounds later the fleet atlast made it into fireing range and opened up. The Heavy guns aimed at the enemy capital ships as the smaller laser turrets and missles fired at any enemy fighter that came into range. Fighters stayed around assigned ships to act as a arm of them and a shield if need be.

As expected, the enemy fleet began a typical opening barrage. As a counter, the TTOT arranged fleet began to deploy along their trained paths. The fighter cloud immediately opened up four large gaps on the front of the fleet. The moment the last fighter was out of the way, a blinding flash of light shot through the gaps. The Preamus carriers had begun to fire their seige cannons (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9407329&postcount=26) (Each carrier carries two.). Much like the MLRSs of old, they served as somewhat inaccurate, however devastatingly effective long range force multiplier, intended to rip large holes in an opposing fleet.

As soon as the Preamus's had finished their initial barrage of siege cannon fire, the fighter cloud closed up again, always careful to try and stay out of range of enemy Anti-fighter fire by way of staying within a few hundred meters of the Ironside fleet which was still slowly backing up at the time.

While the enemy barrage was fierce, PPAD (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9407185&postcount=8) shielding for the most part absorbed much of the damage, though the Ultra-light carriers sustained heavy fire. 100 of the 200 deployed ULs were either destroyed or forced to leave the battle, along with nearly 967 of the Draken fighters deployed in the cloud.

Countering enemy fighters were flurries of millions (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9407139&postcount=1) of “Sprite” missiles (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9407308&postcount=24), fired from thousands of Secar-200 "D" PDG's (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9868017&postcount=28). Each missile coordinated with the main computers of each ship, allowing them to home in on targets nearly one hundred missiles each target as well as severely limit their susceptibility to cheap tricks, like out maneuvering missiles near Friendly ships hitting them instead of their intended target, or ramming missiles into one another. Against the enemy capital ships, "Lasher" cannons were employed, raining down heavy multi-phasic (MP) fire upon what looked to be critical systems on sensors.

All the while, the fleet continued to back up...

The Two Warfleets break off. One Fleet led by the Arch Duke himself heads towards the Abh Fleet. The Arch Duke hopes to launch an all out assualt with his Imperial Attack Ships. The Motherships launch there heavy Omega Class Missiles at the enemy Whitestars and other capital ships in order to keep them at bay. The Defense grid tries to defend agaisnt the enemy fire but sudden surpise attacks allow serveral enemy shots to hit the broadside of the Imperial Shielding thus draining them...


The other War Fleet led by Maldoran Command Silos Kazar heads towards the Talaax forces. The Gaurda Class Fighters disembark from the Motherships and attempt to harass the Talaax Fleet while the point defense systems attempt to lock on the biological attackers. The Command Mothership unleashs hundreds of small Alpha Class missiles at the nearest enemy ships to keep them off balance while the massive Point Singularity Cannons rack the Worldships. The medium size Distengrator Beam Cannons fire upon the rest of the Talaaxian ships while the rest of the War Fleet gets into a box formation in an attempt to establish a fleet defense perimeter.

1st Expeditionary Fleet
Bevelle Orbit

8 Blue Blips appeared then suddenly Ships began to Fill them...
"Alright...XO send a Comm. Burst to the Government Of Neo-Zeta I want to know if we will need the Marines on the ground or if the Transports can leave now."
"Sir sending Comm. Burst now."
"When is the 2nd Fleet ETA on this Position?"
"Well Sir about 9 hours..give or take a few minutes."
"Very well, Put the Platnior Sensors on Full Effeciency, on all ships...no way are we ging to be caught with our thumbs up our asses."
"Fighter Patrols ,Sir?"
"Won't be neccessary we have the Seaquestian Fleets nearby we dont need to have thier Sensors jammed with our Fighters Flight paths."
"Ah I see.."
"Speaking Of them send them a Comm. Bust, Tell them anything they want to know."
"Sir!, there seems to be a dropship heading planetside, should we engage?!"
"No, it probley a Seaquestian Envoy, leave it alone."
"Sir an enemyship is in area but it is hopelessly outnumbered...should we take action?"
"What damage could it do?"
"Well Sir, i honestly don't know."
"Alright, Have all ships raise shields and put weapons on Hot."
"Aye, Do you want to take action againt the enemyship?"
"No, we will Hold out Position and wait for the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet before we do anything."
"Yes Sir."

2nd Expeditionary Fleet
IP Space/ Tansit to Bevelle

"XO, what is our ETA to the Beville Planet?"
"7 hours now Sir."
"Alright, I'm going to get some sleep, wake me when we are there.

[[OOC: Two questions before I respond. What do Point Singularity Cannons fire? Also what sort of shielding do you use?]]

Admiral Trife smiled seeing that they had caught the Deatharon forces by surprised. So far things were going well. The two fleets were separating and only five Whitestars went down from being caught up in the crossfire.

The Admiral stood there aboard the Flagship Keldief, looking down at the holo map of the battlefield. The major was there with him. "Sir, it seems that the Mothership has launched several heavy missles in our direction and its shields seem to be draining. Orders?"

Trife drew his commander saber in a fluid motion and pointed down at a large symbol that had been described as the Mothership. "I want the five closet Victory Class Destroyers to use Level 2 firing. Send the Attack Vessels in front of the Guardship to deal with the missles. Give them permission to us the Anti-proton cannons. I want two Whitestars for every Destroyer that is firing at Level 2 for cover. Signal the Rambird. I have a target for it. Let's test the new ship."

Major Kayule nodded. "Yes sir."

200 Attack Vessels surged forward from the stationary Guardship and Frontlineship front. They engaged the heavy Omega Class missles with their anti-proton cannons. This is the major idea behind the Attack Vessels, anti-missle. They were light and fast with the largest anti-proton cannon possible mounted seamlessly into the nose of the ship. Though this ship did have it's draw backs.

A shadow appeared in front of the Guardship line. It shimmered in and out but finally materialized. The only ship of its kind in the Empire. Approximatly a kilometer long and jet black covered in organic armor. It had a nose in the form of a wedge which had a few surprises of its own. There were three fins on each side that pushed the ship along lazily almost like a shark circling its pray. Each fin was razor sharp, able to cut through a hull of an unshielded ship. It's noze held one hundred meters of solid highly refined steel covered with crystaline armor. All under the organic armor. Space was the beasts layer just like space was the home of the Abh. Its rear dorsel fin swayed back and forth, pushing the ship up and down the line, waiting.

The five closest Victory Class Destroyers held their positions and focused all power into the weapons systems. The three prongs at each end of the ships began to glow yellow as power surged. The power rippled down to the nose that was several hundred meters away. There the energy was magnified a hundred times over and sent screaming out towards the Mothership craving destruction.

The major returned. "It is done. One minute sir."

Trife nodded. "I know but we must take it out. Take out the mother ship and the rest will fall easier. Is the Rambird here?"

"Yes sir."

The Admiral smirked. "Good. Let's see what ship distinguishes itself first. Then send it in to feed."

OOC: Talaax: The Point Singularity Cannon fire a shot of Quatium energy at a speicfic target. It does major damage when it hits but has a slow reload time.

The Shielding is energy based. (Think the type used in Startrek and Stargate SG-1)

Abh: Are you targeting the Command Mothership (Antaran's Fury?) Or one of the other Imperial Motherships (smaller and more of them?)

IC: The Command Mothership Antaran's Fury recieved a message from Imperial Space the message was directed to the Arch Duke:

To: Arch Duke/Avatar of The Antarans Nym Kazar
From: The Imperial High Command

The Shadow Emperor Alfred Von Antheron has been murdered. The Throne to Deatharon is now empty. We request you return home and help us choose a successor. After all only you can tell who the Gods favor to rule.


The Arch Duke Nym Kazar read the message and said, "prepare my shuttle, I am leaving to head back to Imperial Space. My the Antarans bring you victory. The Maldoran legionaire bowed and hit a few buttons. The Arch Duke Nym Kazar was beamed aboard his private shuttle. Several Imperial Interceptors were on stand by to escort him through the wormhole.


The Warfleet opened fire with it's Point Singularity Cannons the target was the guard ships. The Goal to break the Abh's ability to break the Warfleet.

The Psy Cannons were powering up to be used agaisnt the now Incomeing Shadow Vessel...

The ND Fleet soon jumped, and arrived at New Paris, greeted by battle. The Potemkin wasted no time in deploying Marinesko fighter screens, and fighters then spewed out.....the other ND ships soon arrived as well, and began deploying in a standard box formation near allied units.

OOC: If New Paris is over let me know. Also, more stats to be added tomorrow, as I am in a rush....sorry for the crap post.

The Battle over Neo Paris was turning on the Yevon Fleet. However they stayed and fought for now anyway. The Bombers took loses as the escorts dealed with fighters. The first bombers begian to drop energy bombs onto the star destroyers shields trying to bring them down. Two Droid Cruisers exploded in a large fire ball do to the assulte.

The Crusader ships fired with unrelenting furry at the ships who dare get near them. The fighters were still in a hellish battle takeing loses and dishing them out.

Back at the ND/ES/NZ border the fight went on aswell. The shots from the enemy fleet took out the smaller escort ships in the fleet with ease. But the shields of the Yevon and Droid ships were pretty impressive as well. Holding for the most part for now anyway. The fighters stayed close to allied ships to draw fire and fight enemy fighters. The time for fight vs capital ships would come soon enough tho. The laser turrets and ion cannons kept up their fire. Unending hell was brought apone to enemy fleet. Missles from time to time were fired. They would lock onto weak spots in shielding or armor. The Droid and Yevon ships turned haveing their sides faceing the enemy fleets to allow for their full fire power to be used.

The Battle at the 12th fleet HQ as well was unending. More Droids landed in the captured hanger. This allowed them to break threw after a hard fought battle by the stations marines.

Admiral John cursed the droid agian and agian as the Enemy fleet was down to 31 ships and theirs 17. But in 20 mintues he would unleash his plan.

As the Deatharon ships turned to engage, the worldships stopped dead in space. Using their own ships as cover, the worldships directed all of their dovin basals to shield the vessels. Worldships were not warships, but could carry hundreds of coralskippers. As the PSCs opened fire, the dovin basals put up a singularity in the path of the energy beam. The initial shots were absorbed, but some managed to bend past the singularity and impact the surface of the ships, albeit with considerably less energy than they started with.

Working with uncanny precision, due to the coordination of yammosks, the coralskippers concentrated on the largest of the ships. Hundreds of coralskippers swarmed around individual ships, attacking simultaneously from all sides and angles in an effort to completely overwhelm point defense systems. Although weak alone, the coralskippers were devastating in large numbers.

Also working with amazing precision, the four fleets closed in on the Deatharon fleet. Slowly but surely, as dovin basals were being employed a great deal on shielding, the ships closed to within only a few thousand kilometers of the enemy fleet. Turning broadside and firing as one, all Talaaxian ships began their attack. Weakened by some losses, the resulting barrage was still devastating. Hundreds of plasma cannons fired as one. Several of the more inventive commanders began to employ their dovin basals to rip the shields from individual vessels before opening fire on ships.

Tsavong Lah watched the battle unfolding on his blaze bug display with satisfaction. Noticing a small vessel breaking from the rest of the fleet under escort, he issued a special order to the fleets. "This vessel is to be allowed to escape. Let the cowards get away to tell the tale of our victory!"

He turned back to the blaze bug display and pointed a clawed finger at the gap on the fourth side of the Deatharon fleet. "Yun-Yuuzhan is to move here. We will box them in and destroy them. Have all ships target the largest vessels first. The Domain that destroys the command ship shall have it's commander elevated to Supreme Commander! Have Domain Kraal launch their coralskippers, concentrate on this vessel *points to random large vessel on the periphery of the Deatharon formation*. Tell them to make use of the dovin basal slingshot technique to arrive ahead of us."

With that the fifth fleet began to move into position, launching 400 more coralskippers. 200 of these coralskippers began to fly in squadron formations towards an artificial blackhole created by the worldship. As they neared the blackhole they gained speed as it pulled them into it's center. Coming around the far side of the blackhole, narrowly missing it's event horizon, the coralskippers slingshotted around it at nearly twice their normal max speed toward the enemy vessel. Moving too fast for most targeting computers to track efficiently they streaked toward the vessel, letting loose hundreds of plasma shots before passing straight over it and coming around to swarm it as other coralskippers were doing.

OOC: Domain Kraal is known for it's elite pilots, their the best of the best YV pilots.

OOC: The command one. Oh and the Rambird isn't really a shadow vessel but uses the technology somewhat. What does your Psy Cannon do?

IC
Major Kayule approached the bridge. "Sir, it seems that the Deatharon war fleet is making a move towards us and has fired their Point Singularity Cannons."

Trife thumped the flat part of the saber in his hand. "First line of Frontlineships are to open fire with their mines. That should be enough to stop the brunt of the fire."

"And of the Guardships?"

"They are to not move."

"Yes sir."

50 Frontlineships opened all mobile mine ports. The first wave was sent out to several hundred kilometers infront of the line of Guardships and stopped. There they stopped and formed a mobile mine wall.

The mines stopped the brunt of the blast but a few got through and pummled into a few Guardships. The line held though.

"Sir we lost about ten Guardships in the fire."

Trife nodded. "Good. I want the last four lines to launch mines now while the first line reloads. Refocus the Whitestars into their assault."

"Yes sir."

The rest of the Frontlineships opened their launchers as well. The front half opening up into fourths. The mobile mines poured out in groves. Thousands of mines streaking to the Deatharon forces leaving blue anti-matter trails behind them.

The forty-five Whitestars formed up in the void that the separated Warfleets left. They were joined by the twenty Victory Class Destroyers and launched an attack at the rear of the warfleet engaging the Abh Guardships. Whitestars lead the way and the VCDs were the big guns of the attack but sticking to Level 1 firing.

The Rambird shimmered and then disappeared...

OOC: Unleashs a massive Wave of Energy at targets. Think Neo Zeta's Dimension Cannons and you have a Deatharon equalvent...

IC: The Command Mothership was crippled and could not move luckly she had her weapons still ready put at 49% power. The Psy Cannon unleashes a massive wave of Psy energy towards the incomeing mines. It was meant to hit the Shadow vessel instead it fired upon its old location which meant a large chunk of the mine wall was destroyed. The Wave still headed towards the Guard ships with the intent of destruction...

The Warfleet that was ordered to face the Abh unleashed thousands of Alpha Class missiles at the Abh ships. The goal to break the Abh assualt and make an opening for the Deatharon Forces to retreat. It was obvious the Talaax/Deatharon front was not doing very well.
________________________________________________________________

The Deatharon Warfleet fighting the Talaax Fleets was out manevered several ships had been destroyed or disabled. The more fantical crews even ordered to there warships to smash into the Large Talaax Ships with the famous Warcry, "Glory to the Antarans!"

The Gaurda Class fighters being the heavy armored fighters stayed behind to protect the larger Deatharon ships from enemy attack.

The Imperial Interceptors litterly performed hit and run strikes upon the Talaax capital ships.

The Imperial Attack Ships unleash a united Volley of Photon Torpedos in the attempt of holding off the Talaaxian advance..

The Shields of several Captial ships were collasping. The Maldoran Fleet was send S.O.S. signals for help. They hoped the Imperial Space Navy might step in an rescue them from the Inferior races that had swarmed them from what seemed to be all sides of the field...

The Battle over Neo Paris was turning on the Yevon Fleet. However they stayed and fought for now anyway. The Bombers took loses as the escorts dealed with fighters. The first bombers begian to drop energy bombs onto the star destroyers shields trying to bring them down. Two Droid Cruisers exploded in a large fire ball do to the assulte.

The Crusader ships fired with unrelenting furry at the ships who dare get near them. The fighters were still in a hellish battle takeing loses and dishing them out.
"Shields at 80%, the other Star Destroyers are reporting the same." The shield officer reported after the bombs hit the shields. The bombs, though small, were considerable for their power.

"Very well. Intensify firepower." The captain ordered. Swiftly, the reactor poured energy into the turbolaser batteries, increasing their damage potential as the other ships followed suit. The fighters swirled around the enemy ships, using their sentient initiative to try and overcome the droid programming and also take out the bombers as much as they can. Point-defense cannons joined the fray as much as they could to remove the annoying bombers from their space. Soon though, it will be necessary to hit the ground and win the real battle there...

...Back at the ND/ES/NZ border the fight went on aswell. The shots from the enemy fleet took out the smaller escort ships in the fleet with ease. But the shields of the Yevon and Droid ships were pretty impressive as well. Holding for the most part for now anyway. The fighters stayed close to allied ships to draw fire and fight enemy fighters. The time for fight vs capital ships would come soon enough tho. The laser turrets and ion cannons kept up their fire. Unending hell was brought apone to enemy fleet. Missles from time to time were fired. They would lock onto weak spots in shielding or armor. The Droid and Yevon ships turned haveing their sides faceing the enemy fleets to allow for their full fire power to be used...


The fleet continued to reverse, and maintained fire on all fronts. However, the time was nearing for the sudden strike, and the ships began to change tactics. By now, the Preasmus carriers had recharged their Siege cannons and prepared to fire another barrage. The Ultra-Light carriers now began to charge headlong into the enemy fleet. Their small profile would hopefully help them avoid much of the fire that was being brought down in fury upon them by the enemy broadsides.

Despite enemy attempts to bring strike weak points along the shielding of the larger vessels in the fleet, it would be sometime before the PPAD shielding began to run low on matter stores for the Corrolium matter shields. Until then, the system performed flawlessly, providing an actual pin-point accurate, physical shield, which guarded the as yet untouched hulls, and minimally damaged energy shields of the Preamus carriers, Colossus Strike Cruisers, and Line Ships.

However, just as it seemed the Preamus Carriers would open up another assault with their siege cannons, the entire fleet, Ultra-light carriers, fighters and all, vanished.

Behind the enemy forces, the cloaked Shade Cruisers which had jumped away before the battle (Post #80.) had returned, careful to jump back well outside the battle zone, away from the scanners of the Ironside Fleet. During the battle, they had slowly slipped into the killing field, staying just outside the sensors of even allied vessels. For all the Eshirian vessels knew, they could have run away. Only Commander Lui'ran had any idea what was about to happen...

As the attack was being readied, the remaining "Sprite" missiles, "Thumper" anti-ship torpedoes, and straggling "Lasher" anti-ship MP energy fire that had been released before the fleet jumped away began to converge on only a single Yevon capital ship. Missiles and torpedoes were ordered to ignore all fighters via the last orders from the ship's AI, and go straight for the prize... All systems which appeared critical on sensors were targeted in the cross-hairs of each of the few million missiles and few hundred torpedoes headed the single enemy vessel's way...

(OOC: I probably should have mentioned earlier, every missile and torpedo uses Quasar detonators as their main warhead: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9407173&postcount=6 .)

The Elvenblood fleet had moved into Third Space a minute before the Yevon message had been transmitted. The Elvenborn fleet had remained on station in Beville's orbit in case it was needed.

One Hour later

The Elvenblood fleet transited from Third Space already in an offensive formation. The Nadabs and Squids broke off from the main fleet and began to pommel whatever Deatharon ship was in range. The Fireball Cannon on each of the Squids fired shot after shot. For a heavy fighter designed to be able to take on a Shadow Vampire class scout, the Squid was a stout ship. Each of the fifty sixty-five meter Squids (http://www.b5tech.com/miscracesgroups/3rdspace/3rdfighter.jpg) and each of the thirty two-hundred-fifteen meter Nadabs (http://www.b5tech.com/drakh/drakhraider/raider.jpg) target the Deatharon fighters and smaller capital ships. Meanwhile, the rest of, excluding the ten Graviton (http://www.b5tech.com/miscracesgroups/3rdspace/3rdcruiser.jpg) class cruisers, the fleet opened fire on the Deatharon Imperial Motherships. The Gravitons opened fire with their Flamethrower Cannons (OOC: A beam version of the Fireball Cannon) and Fireball Cannons at the Deatharon Command Mothership. The Arkheim's Razor, flagship of the fleet, began to move into formation with the Abh ships.

OOC: Read through, doesn't seem to be anything Bankotsu did after the dropship bit, so I'll continue from there and send my forces into New Paris...

The Godulans were ready, and well they should have been. As soon as the dropship launched from the vessel, several other Makos roared after it with main batteries blazing. As for the Makos surrounding the suspect vessel, the firepower from the hostile Star Destroyer created a dazzling display of fireworks as it entered the scattersprays and went every which way. As soon as the enemy vessel fired, the Godulans responded with a massive barrage of Tachyon torpedos to finish the thing off instantly.

In further response to the dropship, a pair of massive gray wedges emerged from one of the Heighliners and roared towards the spot where the dropship was attempting to breach.

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

On the New Paris front, as soon as cannonfire began to strike at the Coredian forces, the Godulans moved. Their fleet winked out of existence, and returned directly within the enemy fleet, opening up with full barrages of Fractal Gun bursts and Tachyon Torpedos at everything that didn't read as friendly. The Battlefleet's HellKites flooded into existence, pummeling everything in sight with tremendous ferocity. Both sides would use the confusion of their violent entry to slam the enemy with every bit of ordinance they could bring to bear.

It would be glorious.

The Normandy was heavly damaged from the attack but it was built with Godularian tech in mind when it was designed. However its weapons,shields and hyperdrive were offline. It couldnt stand up to 10 ships at once. The flameing hulk of the Normandy put its engians on full and ran cover for the drop ship. It gave it the moment it needed to enter the atmospher and into a electric storm near the south pole of the planet. It would be able to hide at the Yevon Insurgent base hidden there. The Normandy then tore apart in a brillent fire ball as haveing no shields could not stand re-entry. Neo Zetan High Command sent a message to allied forces in orbit

Dont worry about the drop ship we are sending in Patrols to find it as we speak.

The Battle over New Paris was heating up even more if that was possible. The Droid Cruisers shields were down to 43% on averge some were down however and takeing a beating. They kept fireing with all they had sending more waves of bombers and fighters. One of the Crusader ships atlast took enough damage to lose weapons. The ship turned and broke formation and entered a short hyper space jump. It exited near one of the four Star Destroyers. Its engians went to full as it made its attempt to take the enemy down with it.

The Battle of at the Border was becomeing a stalmate atleast the Yevon Admiral thought so. The singal Yevon ship that was singaled out was turneding into a burning hulk by the fire of the enemy fleet. But then they enemy fleet was gone. This confused the Yevon forces. But they knew somthing was up. They went into a spread formation and waited... for what they did not know.

Meanwhile the Main Yevon fleet in route to Bevelle stopped Seymour was worried " There are to many forces in Bevelle. We can not fight them with out takeing heavy loses. We must draw the whole damn fleet way for us to land our troops and take the goverment buildings." He tapped his hands on his chair. " Order all of our Capital ships and Escort to luanch a attack on the Abh Capital. Dont bother capturing attempt to destroy it. Have our transports with out 50,000 Crusaders and 30,000 Droids use Phase Cloak and hide. Such a attack will force the Allied fleets to move enough to allow us to land our troops"

With that the main fleet set a new coarse and entered Hyperspace.

OOC: And that is where the big uber battle will be. Tho i am hopeing for major major loses on both sides. Its planned to be the battle of the rebellion.

"What's going on so far?" Jacob Masaki asked as he looked at the holoscreens of the battle overhead.

"Sir, collision alert!"

The captain of the Quiver began to think quickly. "Engage tractor beams upon that ship to slow it down. Helm, hard to port!"

The Star Destroyer pitched upwards and to its left while its tractor beams powered up and began slowing the enemy ship down as it tried to maneuver out of the way. At the same time, it drilled turbolaser fire into it to try and destroy it.

Meanwhile, the rest of the task force pressed the offensive and never let up on the enemy. Fighters continued to defend the larger capital ships from the enemy bombers even as more waves continued to put the hurt on them. It was becoming quite the bloody battle, that's for sure.

Orbit Above Bevelle

5 Blue blips appeared and then the 5 Ships filled them in.
Fleet-Admiral Hasing Stood up and sighed with release."Ah, Finnaly Now we have a Fleet."
"Send a Comm. Burst to the Neo-Zetan High Council: Fuherer King Bradley, I ask you if we could land out Marines in positions On-Planet incase of Attack by Rebel Forces, If this cannot be applicable by your governemnt we understand fully.

"Alright, have the 2 Crusiers Knight And Angel take up positions alongside us, Have the Frigates join up and finish the Circle the others have started."
"Yes Sir, relaying Information now."
"Well son, I have a feeling that we area bout to be apart of something big.","Contact Navy HQ open up a Comm. Link I want to ask them about reienforcements."
"Aye keying up freq. Now."

The SeaQuestian forces pressed the attack. The Squids and Nadabs fell back to cover the Gravitons. The twenty T'Loth class assault cruisers, fifteen Th'Nor class cruisers, thirty Warlock class advanced heavy destroyers, five Nova class dreadnaughts, three Nova-X class battlecruisers, forty Hyperion class heavy cruisers, twenty-five Olympus class corvettes, fourteen Avioki class cruisers, thirty Xorr class assault cruisers, and fifteen Xill class heavy cruisers moved into a reverse cone formation and began to try to 'drill' their way through the Deatharon fleet.

The Crusader ships used its own tractor beam to try and counter the enemys. However this wouldnt be enough. But the other Crusader ship would make a move that shows just how deadly fighting Crusaders can be. Its shields were still at 54% when it did the same hyper space jump. This time infront of the enemy star destroyer. It put all energy to its engians and went on a ramming run too.

King Bradley sent a message in returnYour forces may land in the 'Red Light' District of Bevelle.Its under manned right now and we fear it may be a hot bed of Yevon supporters. Also if 200 of your men can aid our garrsion at the Yevon Temple. The Relgion itself isnt illegal but since the Yevon Church leadership was forced out do to treason they would want to reclame the temple. Their most fanatic warriors would do this.

After the message he turned to jacob " We have a enemy ship that made it to the south pole. Our patrols are already on the way.

At the hiddent Yevon Base all was ready to start Bankotsus plan...not Yevons. " That fool Seymour can use his droid armys all he wants. I will have the full power of Neo Zeta. I will be Emperor." Bankotsu said

The base commander smiles " We are all behind you were. And so is the Crimson Corp. Bui himself said he will help lead the storming of the Neo Zetan High Command. Many Admirals and Clan Leaders would also accept it. Our inside sources tell us we maybe able to get bradley to step down to postion of Fuhrer of the Military and the Nation and let you take the title of Emperor. That is if he sees its that option of death. Which would lead to a civil war and G.F.F.A intervention to the side that claims to be have Bradleys Successor."

Bankotsu nods " Begian the Operation in 4 hours."

OOC: The Crimson Corp is my Elite Branch of the Ground Forces. They are the best trained and equiped. They use cutting edge weapons and are ruthless. Think of it as my version of the SS. Since they are much larger then the Navy Seals and such. Bui is a tough one too. Coreworld knows about him since he has seen YYH as I have.

The hyper-ramming surprised the Star Destroyer and it suffered total shield loss and heavy hull damage from the attack. When the explosion cleared, a huge gaping hole was seen in the ship, sucking out unlucky crew and droids into space until the magnetic containment fields were activated. Then the ship was forced to retreat from the battle.

----

"The South Pole, eh?" Yusuke asked. "Looks like we're going to have to take a little trip down there to check it out."

And then Yusuke, Jacob, Jacen and Sasuke headed out of the command center to their ship and began heading towards the pole.

Meanwhile, the Brigadier General has ordered the Marines to support the allied forces in patrolling the 'Red Light District' of Bevelle and especially around the Temple to ensure that no Yevon fanatics cause trouble there.

Bevelle Orbit
Dragon Fat Lady Transport

The Logistic Officer planned it out perfectly. The 1st and 2nd Marine Brigade of 5,184 men would land in the "Red-Light" District along with the 1st Armoured Regiment of 108 Vehicles. The remaining 4 Brigades and 1 Armoured Regiment would stay on the Dragon For Assistance if needed. Now for the Temple Assigment the 1st Battalion of 288 men of the 1st Regiment Of the ODST would land there. Not in there Drop Pods of Course...we wouldn't want to damage buildings and cause a panick. The Remaining Battalion would Remain on the Dragon.

113 D45-TB Gull Dropships left the Dragon to the surface. 6 Dropships diverted off to the Temple, carring the ODST.

Surface of Bevelle
Red Light District
3 Hours Later

Marine Cornel John Mcknight Walk into the hastily made Command Center..The Pre-Crete wasnt even dried yet. "Alright, what do we got."
"Well Sir we are spead out over the whole district, we ahve set up Bunkers and Checkpoints on major Corners.","Armoured Units have Commandered Parking Spaces, and Lots that werent used."
"Great....well at least were on the fucking ground now...I hate Space."

Yevon Temple
3 Hours Later (Simoultanious With Above)

The Six D45-TB Gulls Hovered over the ground as the ODST's Embarked and Unloaded thier Equipment. After a few Minutes a Neo-Zetan Guard Walked up.
Leuitenant Jensen Walked up to the Guard. "Can you be so Kind as to show me to your Commanding Officer?"....The other ODST's went unloading thier heavy Machinguns and Shield busters...along with the Rockets.

Yukatan Fleet

The 13 Ship Fleet held thier positions with sensors on Full, No way could they back out now.

Fleet Admiral Hasing was talking With Naval Command. "I know our Navy is small...but can you spare anyships at all?"
"I see sir.....well yes more would be nice....really?....Yes that would be perfect.","I don't care how Green thier Crews Are." Hasing ran up to the Battle-Deck. "We are getting reinforcements...10 Ships.
"No way...Awesome!''
"6 Frigates and 4 Crusiers will leave in 6 Hours and bolster our Number to 23 Ships." The Down side is that they won't be carring any Marines."
"Thats allright, we won't allow the Enemy to reach the ground."

Incoming Fleet

6 FFG-142 "Fox" Class Frigates
4 FCG-443 "Avalance" Class Crusiers
168 F-978SP "Raven" Class Fighters (Dispersed Between the Frigates and Crusiers)

Robin said, to Bradley, "Sir, I shall remain here with you to help out with your protection. That is, if it is alright with you."

OOC #1: Sorry for the short post, but I'm too tired to think of anything else right now.
OOC #2: Last post for the night.

OOC: Unleashs a massive Wave of Energy at targets. Think Neo Zeta's Dimension Cannons and you have a Deatharon equalvent...

IC: The Command Mothership was crippled and could not move luckly she had her weapons still ready put at 49% power. The Psy Cannon unleashes a massive wave of Psy energy towards the incomeing mines. It was meant to hit the Shadow vessel instead it fired upon its old location which meant a large chunk of the mine wall was destroyed. The Wave still headed towards the Guard ships with the intent of destruction...

The Warfleet that was ordered to face the Abh unleashed thousands of Alpha Class missiles at the Abh ships. The goal to break the Abh assualt and make an opening for the Deatharon Forces to retreat. It was obvious the Talaax/Deatharon front was not doing very well.
________________________________________________________________


The thousands of mines from Frontlineships poured out into Alpha Class missles.

"Sir, Deatharon Forces are trying to break out."

The Command pointed his saber at the Deatharon front. "All Guardships are to attack immediatly. I want the Victory Destroyers and Whitestars to hold thier ground. Do not let them escape."

The Guardship lead their charge with a heavy volley of Anti-proton cannon fires all along the their bow followed by their Electromagnetic Rifles with rounds charged to travel at .01c.

The Rambird had disappeared but it was still in the area building up speed. It's fin pushing it through its home until it built up to a blindning speed. It reemerged a few hundred meters away from an imperial mothership (the smaller ones). It's wedged nose divided and half to reveal an enormous ion cannon. A large blue orb of ion fire streaked out towards the ship while the nose of the ship closed back into a wedge. The idea was for the ion fire to punch a whole into the shields to make ramming easier. The Rambird's fins began moving again and the ship shut towards at impossible speeds aiming for the bridge of the ship.

The Whitestars dived down while the Destroyers held their grounds. Any ship that got to close was met by an attack of Level 2 firing that was capable of destroying large asteroids.

Once the Whitestars were in place, thruster activated and positioned them so that they were perpindicular with the Deatharon fleet. The Whitestars went to full burn to run through the fleet and lead the way with Quantum-Gravitic Discharge fire and Pulsed Neutron Cannons.

All Frontlineships launched another volley of mines which sent thousands more into the Deatharon forces.

Tsavong Lah watched with grim acceptance as several escort frigates winked out of existence after placing themselves in the paths of enemy ships attempting to ram the larger capital ships. Other ships attempting to ram found themselves flying directly into artificial singularities put up by the threatened ships. These unlucky souls were compressed into nothingness by these artificial blackholes. Some others got through, damaging sections of ships and partially disabling them. But through it all the assault continued.

Plasma cannons flashed continuously, their projectiles streaking across space and spashing against the failing shields of the remaining Deatharon ships. The greatest volume of fire came from the two fleets on the right flank. Having stopped moving completely, all fleets were devoting their dovin basals to defense, swallowing enemy projectiles whole or bending them wildly off course. Several photon torpedoes impacted various ships, most began venting atmosphere in the affected section but continued to fire. Others were completely disabled, either temporarily or permanently.

Amidst it all coralskippers still swarmed many ships, adding to the volume of information battle computers needed to deal with and to the number of targets enemy ships and shields faced. Some, having taken grievous hits and knowing their seconds to be numbered, steered their fighters directly into enemy ships. The rest simply continued their task of breaking the enemy fleet.

Tsavong Lah turned to his immediate inferior at the battle. "Release grutchins. All ships." A moment later the order was relayed and the Talaaxian ships began releasing thousands of the voracious insects in the direction of the Deatharon fleet. Thousands, possibly even tens of thousands of the creatures swarmed toward the enemy fleet, intent on chewing through them and into the interior where they would devour the crews.

Over regular communications frequencies, with the aid of specially modified villips, Warmaster Tsavong Lah spoke directly to the Deatharon commanders. "Attention Deatharon ships! Surrender immediately! There is no hope of victory for you. If you surrender you will be returned to your government unharmed. If you choose to fight on, I guarantee you that you will all die in this system. Those of you who survive the battle and fall into our hands will die slow, painful and dishonourable deaths. There will be no survivors if there is no surrender. This is your only opportunity to surrender..."

The Normandy was heavly damaged from the attack but it was built with Godularian tech in mind when it was designed.

OOC: Previous to this moment, I don't think I ever used Tachyon weaponry on you. Besides, without specifics on how the technology works, I should think there wouldn't be any means to counter it. Allies or not, I did not give that information out. In the particular case of Tachyon weapons, shields are useless. Tachyon weapons work specifically against vessels using shielding, and are useless against unshielded targets, although for people that always go into battle with full shielding active, it might seem like the weapons go straight through shielding.

But without this knowledge, there wouldn't be much means to counter it. So please, in the future, don't try that rationale.

The Makos clung to the limping ship like lampreys, then broke off as all power died and the vessel fell to the planet below. Kythons would retrieve it later.

The squadron then came low to the planet, scanning the area around the dropship and checking for the same hostile signature as before. As the signature returned to visibility, the strange wedges rocketed down and slammed into the ground themselves. The Makos then rose back up into low orbit and continued to scan the ground.

Hatches on both of the wedges clattered open, and a strange hissing noise emerged. Soon, amidst the snow drifts, thousands upon thousands of vicious looking four-armed robots billowed forth, converging upon what appeared to be an underground complex...

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

"Signature recognized. Potential for hidden base. Commencing assault. Makos on standby to facilitate extermination of enemy forces."

With the two Crusader ships gone the Droid Fleet kept up its assulte but begian sending fighter and bomber waves after the other allied fleets. They were waiting for word that the Droid Army was deep into the city. There the allied fleet could not bombard them with out killing massive civilans and allied forces.


Back on Bevelle

The Guard Turned and said " Bui is at the forword Command post inside the Temple."

Zero Hour was here for Bevelle. Bradley turns to robin " Thank you The Crimson Corp is helping patrol most of the city so we should be ok."

But then it begian five large explosions ripped threw the Red Light District. This was fallowed by Droids storming in from the river front. They had used the old underground systems to get threw the city. Unknown Numbers of Droids came out from the south side fireing on enemy garrsions in the red light district. On the main highway Droid Hellfire Tanks and Spider Walkers were starting to advance from the wearhouse district which was secured months befor and made into Yevons Command post for the city.

It was noted no Crusaders were in the fight yet. Only Droids the Crusaders would wait befor strikeing their targets.

The Command Center reported these happenings to bradley when a officer turned with a pale look on his face.

" Incomeing Enemy Droid Fighters and Bombers from the South Pole."

With the fighters was a Drop Ship carrying Bankotsu and Renkotsu. Suikotsu had stayed to make sure the Yevon Base stayed safe from any enemy attempts to destroy it via special forces.

OOC: The Temple is in the same compound as the Palace and Command Center buts open to the public.

OOC: Dude your not the only nation in NS with Tachyon Weapons. I have fought them befor. Thus i would have built defenses into my ships. And from what you said your Tachyon Weapon is no diffrent from the ones the Gaians used. Also i said the shields were offline after the attack. Please dont assume Tachyon Weapons are only used by you. The Gaians in a Trade Confrence Shared all of their weapons tech to Neo Zeta and other allies. So my nations has specs on how Tachyon weapons work.

With the two Crusader ships gone the Droid Fleet kept up its assulte but begian sending fighter and bomber waves after the other allied fleets. They were waiting for word that the Droid Army was deep into the city. There the allied fleet could not bombard them with out killing massive civilans and allied forces.
"Sir, we're entering orbit over the planet. The enemy forces are breaching the city."

"Very well. Send in the Marines." The Captain ordered. "Order the fighters to support them."

Several dozen dropships and assault gunships dropped out of the remaining main hangar bays while the Star Destroyer covered them with massive broadsides upon the droid fleet. The captain had a sense of deja vu, that it was a lot like the Clone Wars of historic fame.

It was noted no Crusaders were in the fight yet. Only Droids the Crusaders would wait befor strikeing their targets.
The Marines patrolling the area then went into combat mode as Cougars, AT-TEs, and hovertanks began raining turbolaser bolts upon the hellfire and spider droids and the infantry and mechanized infantry went to work in removing the droid forces from the area of the Temple.

The Command Center reported these happenings to bradley when a officer turned with a pale look on his face.

" Incomeing Enemy Droid Fighters and Bombers from the South Pole."

With the fighters was a Drop Ship carrying Bankotsu and Renkotsu. Suikotsu had stayed to make sure the Yevon Base stayed safe from any enemy attempts to destroy it via special forces.

OOC: The Temple is in the same compound as the Palace and Command Center buts open to the public.
"We've got incoming!" Yusuke yelled as he maneuvered the gunship through the mass of enemy fighters and bombers. The other three moved to the laser cannons and with the uncanny accuracy of the Force and the Sharingan, began obliterating the enemy fighters and bombers as they neared the South Pole.

Then something dangerous and familiar entered the area. Jacob noted it and cross-linked with the holomap. "Hmm. Bankotsu's in the area. Just south of Besaid...Go after him, Yusuke!"

"On it!" The demonhunter adjusted his flight path and moved to intercept the leader of the former Band of Seven.

Deatharon Front

The Elvenblood fleet continued to rain bolts of destruction at the enemy forces. So far, the Deatharon fleet was concentrating on the Abh and Talaax forces and only a few stray shots went in the direction of the SeaQuestian fleet.

Beville - Orbit

All of the ships that carried fighters in the Halfblood fleet launched Death Glyders. The Halfblood fleet was the only one of the five SeaQuestian anti-Shadow fleets to carry Death Glyders instead of the new Squid class heavy fighters in all but the Graviton class cruisers. The 2,122 Death Glyders dropped into the atmosphere to give the capital city some air support.

Meanwhile...

The Elvenborn fleet began to move into position to make the jump to Third Space so that the transit to Neo Paris could begin.

Beville - Surface - Command Bunker

Robin nodded and removed the disrupter rifle from her left shoulder.

Placing it on a table, she said, to Bradley, "That's there in case you need it sir."

Red Light District

Marines were engaded in Firefights with Droids. Cobra Tanks Fired thier Main Guns blowing out buildings and destroying Enemy Tanks. Shield Buster Rockets were fired from rooftops along with normal rockets. Feats of Heroism and Feats of Cowardism were being done by the Marines inside the City.
"Alright I want the 10th Battalion to move here, have them garrison the buildings and use them for cover."
"Sir, the 9th Platoon isn't responding!"
"Send a Squad to thier position and see whats going on."
Sargant Blackburn and his squad moved up to 9th Platoons posistion...they saw horror. Marine bodies were burned and blackened, blood was strewn accross the streets.
"Jesus....tell Command that 9th Platoon is gone."
"Fuck Man....how could a whole platoon be wasted just like that?"
"I dunno but come on lets get back to the lines."
Blackburns squad left the area and headed back to friendly units. Back at the Command Center Mcknight was talking with the Commander of the Dragon Give me the 3rd Brigade down here. Along with the 2nd Armoured Regiment, we need more people. Also get the 9th and 34th AirLift Wing to start Gun Runs on this area of the City.

Yevon Temple

(OOC) Is the Temple under attack or is it about to be under attack?

Yukatan Fleet

"Sir, Incoming Fighters."
"Well lets give them a warm welcome....Get PDS Weapons online."
"Sir, what about our fighters?"
"Send them out."
Once the Fighters were in range...The Lazer Net System came online and Lazers Streaked twoards the Incoming Fighters...Then the Cannon Defenses Came Online and 120mm FLK Shells screamed at the fighters. Bay Doors opened and half over every ships Fighter Wings came out to engage the Enemy Fighters, and give the Ships cover.

OOC: Dude your not the only nation in NS with Tachyon Weapons. I have fought them befor. Thus i would have built defenses into my ships. And from what you said your Tachyon Weapon is no diffrent from the ones the Gaians used. Also i said the shields were offline after the attack. Please dont assume Tachyon Weapons are only used by you. The Gaians in a Trade Confrence Shared all of their weapons tech to Neo Zeta and other allies. So my nations has specs on how Tachyon weapons work.

OOC: Don't assume that mine work exactly as his did (past tense cuz I'm not sure GA even plays anymore). I don't care who shares what with who. Some tech may be named similarly yet follow entirely different mechanics. So while you may have specs on how the Gaian's tachyon weapons work, you have no durn clue whatsoever how MINE work. For all I know GA's tachyon weapons were just a fanciful name for a souped up energy cannon. In any event, that single attack should have leveled the ship entirely. Not just taken out a few particular systems. But what's done is done, and the ship is dead now anyway. So the issue is essentially moot.

The Makos overhead noted the sudden burst of violence in the Red Light District and came to position overhead, their requisite swarms of HellKites diving in to turn the enemy fighters into slag with liberal amounts of malice, forethought, and cannonfire.

The Makos themselves took aim at targets of opportunity. Fighters, clumps of droids, large droids, all would fall victim to an orbital bombardment of truely wicked accuracy. Fractal guns flickered in the starlight.

And Bankotsu's signature was spotted again, amidst the various rebel fighters.

Dude's all over the place... how annoying. Knock that dropship out.

From the concentrated bombardment, several Makos broke off once again and started moving overhead respective to the dropship, opening fire with full salvos of Fractal Gun bursts to pulverize the vessel before the aggravatingly mobile Bankotsu could flee again.

The Droids kept up their attack in the red light district. The 501st of the Crimson Corp moved into postion behind the Core Worlds ground forces. They planned to aid the left flank of the G.F.F.A allied forces so they said...

The Fighters and Bombers went over Luca a Large city on the world and begian to bomb it to the ground on their way to Bevelle.

The Battle the started at the Temple as Crusaders ran in fireing their blaster rifles. " FOR YEVON" they yelled.

The Drop Ship carrying Bankotsu and Renkotsu was only moments way from the palace itself at their greatist part of the plan had yet to go into motion.

Over New Paris the Droid Army atleast entered the city fully. The Defenders were at the bring only holding on to the Main Goverment Building in the city center. The city was filled with smoke and fires as the Droids Marched tirelessly. The Screams of the People being slaughtered as the Yevon Crusaders moved in behind the Droid Army was somthing no person would forget.

The Droid Fleet in orbit atlast begian to withdraw for the 6th planet of the system where they would regroup. Once the Droid Army captured New Paris they would bring the Orbital Defence Stations which their spys had disabled pre battle.

The Fighters begian to fight back with all they had. But their main objective was to cuase massive damage. Not fighting fighters Loses would be high but the damage and death brought would be higher.

Bankotsus Dropship was hit a few times and its port engians went out. The Drop Ship made a crash landing into the Palace complex takeing out a tower and smashing into a building. The Droids were destroyed in the Crash however Bankotsu and Renkotsu had made it threw the crash. They werent human after all and strounger then droids.

" If its one thing you got to like about those guys is they dont give up." Bankotsu said

Bankotsu drew his halbard and smiles " But we made it anyway. And now its time to take care of our work" He said as he ran off into a hall way.

Alarms rang in the command Center " Intruder Alert Threat Level S Class."

Bradley sighs as he puts his hand on his sword. " I will deal with this myself'" He said as he walked out of the command center to the protest of his men.

The Droids kept the attack but now the plan would be sprung. The Crimson Corp whould show its true color.

The 501st opened fire on G.F.F.A allied troops. They used their heavy AT-AT's to begian to level the city and enemy armor as well. The Crimson Divsion Corp at the Temple also opened fire on Allied troops. Bui Himself leading the charge " Destroy them all for the new Emperor!!"

OOC: Only got three AT-AT's in the city. And evey time i post some one else has posted so if i didnt get to you yet agian in this post lol just hang on ^^. Also i'm sorry didnt know you were baseing it off a diffrent tech.

Yevon Temple

The Machinegun Emplacements opened up on the Crusaders Rockets screamed at groups of them.
Lieutenant Jensen, Grabbed a Rocket Launcher and fired it at a group of Soldiers. "Damn don't they know how to take a Garrisoned Building?"
He threw the launchers down and grabbed his Rifle.
Firefights were heard inside the Temple.
"Inside how did they get inside?...Wait why are the Zetans firing on us?"
"Sir...I don't think they are our allies anymore."
"Fuck That Kill 'em All..." Jensen began firing on the Neo-Zetan Guards...No one knew who were thier allies anymore. "Fuck, Transport Dragon this is the 1st Battalion ODST....Give us our brothers we need 'em now!"

Red Light District

The 34th and 9th AirLift Wings began Gun Runs at groups of Droids and at Enemy Tanks and Walkers..Explosions ripped at the city as Rockets screamed forth..Marines lay dead in the street with destroyed droids parts strewn accross the street.
"Wait..aren't those Neo-Zetan Walkers?"
"Yes they are sir..."
"Why are they Firing on us...Give me thier commander...now!"

Yukatan Fleet

As the Enemy Fighters got closer the Flack systems grew more accurate and deadly...Raven Fighters still patrolled between ships waiting for the Enemy Fighters to grow close.

864 Drop Pods screamed from the Dragon to the Temple. (only 288 are filled with men the rest are filled with supplies.)

The Droids kept up their attack in the red light district. The 501st of the Crimson Corp moved into postion behind the Core Worlds ground forces. They planned to aid the left flank of the G.F.F.A allied forces so they said...
"Right. Go get 'em!" The commanders ordered. The marines surged forward in an offensive on the enemy's other flank, the vehicles continuing to blaze away at everything that's not a friendly.

The Fighters and Bombers went over Luca a Large city on the world and begian to bomb it to the ground on their way to Bevelle.
And then fleets of Coredian fighters flew down from the sky to rain death and destruction on the enemy fighters and bombers, having ordered so from the Admiral. Soon enough, two of the Victory-class Star Destroyers will enter the atmosphere to provide heavy-duty fire support for aerial and ground unties.

Over New Paris the Droid Army atleast entered the city fully. The Defenders were at the bring only holding on to the Main Goverment Building in the city center. The city was filled with smoke and fires as the Droids Marched tirelessly. The Screams of the People being slaughtered as the Yevon Crusaders moved in behind the Droid Army was somthing no person would forget.

The Droid Fleet in orbit atlast begian to withdraw for the 6th planet of the system where they would regroup. Once the Droid Army captured New Paris they would bring the Orbital Defence Stations which their spys had disabled pre battle.
"Prepare to bombard. Light turbolasers only." The Captain of the Tygisordered. The Star Destroyers then prepared targets of opportunity and then blasted down on enemy positions. And then, the LAATs came along to blaze beamlasers upon the enemy forces, slicing them up like lightsabers, only continuous.

The Fighters begian to fight back with all they had. But their main objective was to cuase massive damage. Not fighting fighters Loses would be high but the damage and death brought would be higher.

Bankotsus Dropship was hit a few times and its port engians went out. The Drop Ship made a crash landing into the Palace complex takeing out a tower and smashing into a building.

Several Marine armor were destroyed by the betrayal, but with a vengeance, they turned on the 501st and began to wipe them out...all of them. Calls of betrayal rang out all over the place.

Then a particular gunship fought its way to the Palace and the command center, aiming for one of the AT-ATs to destroy it. Then the foursome teleported to the ground, ready to face off against the betrayers.

"Jacob, Jacen, you go and deal with Bankotsu. Sasuke will stop Renkotsu. And me, well..." Yusuke chuckled dryly. "I have a date with an old friend."

With that, the foursome split up to do what they need to do...

The AT-AT fell to its side hitting the ground hard. One still loamed and unleashed hell on the enemys in the Red Light District.

The 501st entrenched themselfs into buildings and fought with a unstoppable furry. Weapons fire went around everywhere. Bevelle was burning smoke filled the sky even more so then New Paris.

At the Temple the Yevon Crusaders pushed from the front and the Crimson Corp pushed from the rear pinning allied forces into what they hoped to be a killing field. More Hellfire Droids and Spider Droids advanced on enemy armor.

But then the worst of the ground droids came rolling in ( Hint Hint). They unfolded and engaged their shields and opened fire with dual repeating blaster fire.

Meanwhile Hiei walked up the to the rubble of the crash sight. " He is close...It is close.... My arm will soon return to me."

Red Light District

The 501st was now known to be Traitors. The Marine Forces turned on them. Men used rubble as cover. Rifle Fire was always heard
"Fuck we can't advance..."
"Use the buildings as c..."The Marine Sargant was cutoff midsentace as his head rolled on the ground."
"Shit stay down...bring up some armour blow that fucking building down."
4 Corbra Tanks rushed up the street and aimed thier cannons at the building, they fired and moved away the rounds zooming at the building.
"Goddamit blow that AT-AT up now. get me the 9th AirLift Wing!"
10 Gull Dropships screamed overhead dropping bombs and fireing the FFAR Pods on the AT-AT.

Yevon Temple

Drop Pods screamed from the sky and laneded behind the Crusaders. Some even landed ontop of them. The Doors bursted open and the ODST started to fire on the Crusaders with deadly accuracy. Inside the Temple the ODST Faired much worst.
"Fuck what is that..it has shields!"
"Bring up the shield buster..now"
One ODST brought up a Launcher and fired at the droid. A Green Energy Blob rushed at the droid.

Meanwhile Hiei walked up the to the rubble of the crash sight. " He is close...It is close.... My arm will soon return to me."
A red-eyed Master Shinobi walked around the rubble. "It's been a while, Swordmaster."

Hiei looked at him " Yes it has been some time. I assume you are here to hunt the same pray as I do."

(OOC: NZ, about your response to the border skirmish (Post #102.), I'm not quite sure how the slug fest was still going. My fleet had jumped away, and the only ships in the vicinity are those cloaked Shade Cruisers that have not yet done anything to give them away.)

Hiei looked at him " Yes it has been some time. I assume you are here to hunt the same pray as I do."
OOC: Prey.
IC:
Uchiha Sasuke nodded with an evil smirk. "Of course."

The AT-AT fell to its side hitting the ground hard. One still loamed and unleashed hell on the enemys in the Red Light District.

The 501st entrenched themselfs into buildings and fought with a unstoppable furry. Weapons fire went around everywhere. Bevelle was burning smoke filled the sky even more so then New Paris.
The Marines were desperate for air support as they tried to fight off the enemy forces from all sides. Then, they got their wish.

Missiles slammed into the buildings where 501st members were entrenched, followed up by beamlasers slicing into the enemy forces as squadrons of LAAT gunships supported by fighters arrived to deploy more troops and conduct the much-needed air support.

At the Temple the Yevon Crusaders pushed from the front and the Crimson Corp pushed from the rear pinning allied forces into what they hoped to be a killing field. More Hellfire Droids and Spider Droids advanced on enemy armor.
Three command LAATs then came in after the Yukatania drop pods attacked and circled the area, slicing into them in a fashion similar to the ancient AC-130 gunship the Americans at a faraway planet once used. Combat Jedi and shinobi jumped out of the doors and landed lightly, then began slashing their way through the Crimson Corp, some carrying blasters as well. Then a final gunship came, carrying the Brigadier General himself, who utilized his fire powers to produce devastating explosions at the enemy.

"Alright, troops! Get in that temple and wipe out all resistors!" The General ordered as he continued to snap his fingers on one hand and used a lightsaber with the other, while his elite guards blasted at anybody who even looked at their commanding officer wrong.

The military surged forward...

But then the worst of the ground droids came rolling in ( Hint Hint). They unfolded and engaged their shields and opened fire with dual repeating blaster fire.
As the Jedi reflected blaster bolts from the droids, an elite trooper launched proton missiles at the destroyer droids, while a massive blast of blue bolts suddenly lashed out at any survivors.

"Mind if I join the party?" Colonel Urameshi smirked as his fist glowed with blue energy.

(OOC: NZ, about your response to the border skirmish (Post #102.), I'm not quite sure how the slug fest was still going. My fleet had jumped away, and the only ships in the vicinity are those cloaked Shade Cruisers that have not yet done anything to give them away.)

The Battle in the Red Light district heated up. The 501st now seeing their buildings wernt safe started takeing and holding up in buildings with civilions.

Their Attacks wouldnt let up but their loses climbed. The Air battle was just as furiouse. They Droid fighters and bombers kept comeing wave after wave. Droid Drop ships the droid egual to LAAT's came in and begian to support the ground forces as well. The 3rd AAT that had held back now moved into battle near the Temple its foot slamming down on a grounded LAAT.

The Destroyer Droids went down but more came with another Droid Type. A Elite Body Guard Type Droid used by Genrel Grevious. they were even feared by Jedi. But they alone wouldnt turn the tide. The Droids in the Red Light District now begian to advance heading to attack the Temple and aid their forces there. The 501st would take care of the Red Light District.

Hiei smirks " As you wish but dont get in my way. I have a score to settle with them."

RedLight District

The Marines started to occupy Buildings and Rubble...no Marine wanted to be in the streets. Dropships engaged Droid Fighters with thier AAM and 35mm Chain Guns, They also engaged ground targets with PGB/AGM and FFARs. Marines fired on Enemy Soldiers from rooftops and windows.

Orbit Over Yevon Temple.

The Crusier Traflagar passed over this spot and unleashed 96 Drop Pods..The 34th ODST Company was on the way.

The Maldoran Legion Commander in the only activate Command Mothership looked at his weakened Warfleets and saw that victory was impossiable. He knew that surrender was not an option due to the Antaran decree that only the victorius reach Ascension.

The Maldoran Legion Command replies to the Talaaxian Warmaster,

We can not surrender. That would dishonor the Antarans and lead us to an afterlife of damnation. We would rather die here to the last Deatharon warrior! May you find peace with your gods!


The Talaaxian Fleet had destroyed roughly 79% of the Warfleet sent agaisnt them. The remaining ships gathered together and headed toward the Grecthin's fireing a hail of Distengrator fire. The Guarda Class fighters even headed towards them the intent to die fighting no mercy would be given in the name of the Antarans. The Gods of the Grand Shadow Empire of Deatharon..


The Abh Fleet now faced a fantical enemy. It was known they were doomed but in this War Fleet knew if they could break the Abh here they could jump home to Imperial Space.

The two Command Mothership's still aviable start firing a wave of Beta Class missiles. (Think medium size hunter killer missiles) The Warfleet was prepared to go head to head with the Abh. They even made an arrow formation charging into the Abh with the Intent of pirceing them while fireing a hail of Distengrator Fire...

The Battle in the Red Light district heated up. The 501st now seeing their buildings wernt safe started takeing and holding up in buildings with civilions.
The Marines used their HUD tools to discern which are enemies and which are civilians and called in Godulan support to beam the civvies out before they level said buildings.

Their Attacks wouldnt let up but their loses climbed. The Air battle was just as furiouse. They Droid fighters and bombers kept comeing wave after wave. Droid Drop ships the droid egual to LAAT's came in and begian to support the ground forces as well. The 3rd AAT that had held back now moved into battle near the Temple its foot slamming down on a grounded LAAT.
"Hmm." The Brigadier General mused as he and his troops fought their way into the Temple itself. "Have a squadron take out that walker before it takes us out!"

"Yes, sir!" The guard then radioed for a squadron to take out the walker. Soon, torpedoes from a couple of X-wings shot out at the AT-AT. Meanwhile, the gunships shot air-to-air missiles at the opposing droid ships as they continued to fight against the enemy and help the friendly troops do their job.

The Destroyer Droids went down but more came with another Droid Type. A Elite Body Guard Type Droid used by Genrel Grevious. they were even feared by Jedi. But they alone wouldnt turn the tide. The Droids in the Red Light District now begian to advance heading to attack the Temple and aid their forces there. The 501st would take care of the Red Light District.
They weren't so much feared any more when massive doses of telekinetic and elemental energy lashed out at the Magnadroids, hopefully sending them to the scrap heap. The Jedi then began to storm the Temple itself...

Hiei smirks " As you wish but dont get in my way. I have a score to settle with them."
"But of course." Sasuke said and scanned the area with his eyes while deflecting stray blaster bolts that came his way.

As the Deatharon fleet in it's death throes launched itself at the grutchins, hundreds were vaporised. However, there were hundreds more behind them. It was simply impossible for them all to be stopped. They clung by the hundreds to the nearest ships, chewing through drive sections, bridge areas, weapons positions, cargo and fighter bays, everywhere. In overwhelming force the grutchins attacked ship after ship.

As if this were not enough, the Talaaxian fleet continued firing on the enemy ships - grutchin infested and not. Massive plasma balls melted through hulls as if they were nothing more than ice. To complete the massacre, the massive Kor Chokk Grand Cruisers (almost twice the size of an SSD) moved in to close to the crippled vessels and let loose their massive Dread Weapons (http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Dread_Weapon). The worm-like creatures grabbed hold of enemy ships, punctured hulls and began sucking their crews from the ship into captivity holds aboard the ship. Prisoners would be sacrificed in thanks to the Gods for this victory.

Coralskippers too continued their deadly business, this time targeting only enemy drive and command sections in an attempt to disable the remaining ships. Despite heavy loss there were still thousands of coralskippers up to this task.

Losses:

Coralskippers: 50%
Capital Ships: 30%
Escorts: 45%
Grutchins: 55%

Yevon Temple

The Drop Pods landed and the ODST's joined the fight with thier brethren. Lieutenant Jensen led a squad in the Temple tring to link up with the rest of the ODST in the Temple. Suddenly a Droid rounded a corner. The Men raised thier rifles and Destroyed it. "Comon...we gotta keep moving. Rifle Fire was heard down the hall.."Comon this way!" the squad took off running.

Red Light District

"This is Nightstalker One-Zero-Six any Marine Forces need support?"
"Nightstalker this is Fireteam Zulu...What yeah carring?"
"I've got some FFAR Pods, and some AGM's also I've got 700 Rounds left in mah Chaingun."
"Alright bring em here. Delta-Delta-One-Niner-Alpha-Seven.", "Put 'em right on the Bastards heads."
"Alright Fire Team Zulu Support Inbound, ETA 30 Secconds."
The Gull zoomed overhead Rockets left the wingtips and slammed into Enemy Armour and Troops the 2 Missiles went for the biggest tank while the rockets took care of infantry and light Armour. the 35mm Shells impacted Droids and Armour.
"Whooho..looky at the flyboys go!","Comon guys keep up the fire!" Sargant Blackburn Loaded a new mag into his Rifle.
"I need a mag!!!, I'm out!"
Blackburn tossed the young Marine a Mag, "It's mah last one."

The Marines used their HUD tools to discern which are enemies and which are civilians and called in Godulan support to beam the civvies out before they level said buildings.

The orbital cannonfire let up somewhat as the Godulan Makos recieved telemetric information on buildings playing host to both enemy troops and civilian hostages.

Psions across the fleet began a rather methodical purge action, with five or six psions scanning each and every building for mental signals of either innocent or hostile, and communicating the information to the transporters. Using this information, the Makos locked onto as many signals as they could, beamed them to a safer location some distance away, and opened up with full salvos on the building as soon as all non-hostiles were removed.

One by one, pillars of blue destruction lanced down from the sky upon enemy-held buildings. And each time a simple message went to the Coredian troops, with each loop playing a different designated building.

Area cleared, secure... Area cleared, secure... Area cleared, secure...

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

Above the fighting, the HellKites were having themselves some fun. They were losing the occasional member of their swarm, but the enemy fighters were focusing too much on inflicting civilian casualties, and the HellKites simply picked each fighter off at leisure. Due to the size of the HellKites, it took more than passing strafings to cause significant damage, so they wandered through the battle like a group of sharks amidst a school of fish, snapping up what they could and what got too close.

It was decided that Godulan ground reinforcements would not be necessary, thanks to the assistance of the coredian forces calling in for fire support. The orbital fleet would massacre the enemy by the hundreds thanks to this action.

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

As for Bankotsu and company, the Makos in pursuit decided on a new tack. Keeping a close eye on his location, the Makos drifted up and out of immediate view, feigning belief that their strike was over. As soon as they got high enough to avoid detection, they focused all attention upon the movements of the wayward enemy commander, waiting for just the right time to put a massive Fractal Gun blast down his throat.

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

As for a certain massive walker advancing on the palace, another squadron of Makos took time out of their hectic dance of death to turn and level a single massive combined salvo on the lumbering beast, then turned back to their regularly scheduled doombringing.

The Abh Fleet now faced a fantical enemy. It was known they were doomed but in this War Fleet knew if they could break the Abh here they could jump home to Imperial Space.

The two Command Mothership's still aviable start firing a wave of Beta Class missiles. (Think medium size hunter killer missiles) The Warfleet was prepared to go head to head with the Abh. They even made an arrow formation charging into the Abh with the Intent of pirceing them while fireing a hail of Distengrator Fire...

The major looked on edge, for an Abh, when the Deatharon fleet began to attack. "Sir, it seems that they would like to go through us to escape."

Trife nodded with a grin. "Good. That means we have something prepared for them. Are the other Destroyers still in Hyperspace?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. Also, send the Rambird at the crippled Command Mothership. And once the Frontlineship fire their final volley. Send them into the fleet."

"Yes sir."

All 200 Frontlineships launched a volley of mines at the incoming Deatharon ships. That made ten thousand mobile mines charging straight at them.

Attack Vessels surge forward and made attack runs with their Anti-Proton cannons. They targeted key locations like the bridge of ships, vents, and engines. 500 of them harrying the Deatharon ships.

20 Victory Class Destroyers lined up in the rear of the Deatharon fleet. All of their ships used Level 2 firing. It's main weapon, all 20 ships unleashed devastating barrages. (Level 2 firing (http://www.b5tech.com/movies/testfire2.asf)).

Whitestars went to full burn and stayed above the Deatharon fleet. They used attack runs to rain down destruction from above. They made it to the front of the enemy fleet and picked off ships in the front.

The entire group of Frontlineships disappeared into jumpgates. That left the Guardships alone. The Frontlineships reopened jumpgates right in the middle of the Deatharon fleet. Whatever ship that wasn't destroyed by the opening of 200 jump gates, Frontlineships were set on collision corses with other Deatharon ships.

If that wasn't enough, the remaining Guardships formed into a wedge of their own. They launched a volley of high energy weapon fire and rounds of Electromagnetic rifles.

To the side 30 Omega-X Destroyers shimmered and appeared on each side of the Deatharon fleet. With scaled down shadow death rays, they attacked the side of the fleet in a crescent formation.

The Rambird appeared outside the Command Mothership, it's nose split down the middle to reveal the large ion cannon. The blue orb tumbled towards the ship and the wedge closed. It's fins drove the ship right towards the bridge of the ship to dive straight through.

OOC: Talaax just a warning. The Ithkul Drones Captured on those ships will try to infest nearest enemy personal. The Deatharon personal will try to psy blast any nearby enemies so they can devour there brains.

IC:

The Maldaron War Fleet was wrecked. The crippled ships began to self destruct. The Command Mothership operates it's last weapon. The Black Hole Generator. The generator was targeting the systems star with the intent of wipeing out the enemy with a black hole. This was the last chance for the Maldoran to wipe out the enemy here an now...

OOC: Prisoners would be submerged in blorash jelly and rendered unconscious. Even if they maintained consciousness for a few minutes they'd be unable to move and there would be no living creatures around other than other prisoners and gnullith "breath masks" that would allow them to breathe while submerhed in blorash.

OOC: Ok that would work. I will edit my earlier post, When you said Captivity holds. I assumed large rooms with Force fields holding them...

Jump gates opened everywhere while Whitestars and Victory Destroyers left normal space into hyperspace. The Keldiej along with the remaining Guardships and Attack Vessels retreated back into the sord.

The major approached the Admiral. "Congratulations sir. Our combined effort with the Talaaxian forces was a success."

Trife nodded. "Yes it was but we have other matters to attend to. Our forces need to repairs and resupplied. Once that is complete, prepare the Abh+ marines in case they are needed. Make for the Febdauch system. We will refuel there and gather supplies."

"Yes sir."

The Abh forces made there way where they could handle repairs and fuel. The other forces remained in Hyper space patroling the area.

The Black Hole Generator unleashes it's energy that heads towards the systems star. Soon the Star would quickly transform into a massive black hole that would pull all matter including light into itself...

Noticing the gravity surges occuring in and around the sun, Warmaster Tsavong Lah decided to play it safe and leave system. "All ships, leave system. Let the enemy destroy themselves. Destination is Bevelle."

Seconds later the fleets began jumping to hyperspace, leaving crippled ships behind to die. The rest made good their escape and headed to Bevelle.

"Commander, open communications with Admiral Trife." Tsavong Lah ordered from his place at the back of the bridge and it was done.

The villip begun pulsing on the bridge. The Admiral walked over and coaxed it to open. "Warmaster Lah, this is Admiral Trife. What can I do for you?"

At that moment the forces had pulled out of the Sord and into the Febdaush system. It wouldn't take long for the ships to resupply and repair. The Keldeij itself needed only fuel since it was untouched.

The Command Mothership and the remaining Maldoran ships self destruted the second the energy hit the star. The Black hole was forming at a rapid rate. The wreackage and crippled starships were being forced into the event horizion of the giant hole in space...

"Admiral Trife, congratulations on victory over our enemies.. We have fought honourably and the Gods have favoured us with victory! Once more the Abh have proven themselves worthy of the Gods' favour and blessing! Glory to you noble commander!" Tsavong Lah paused then dispensed with pleasantries and profuse compliments.

"My forces are bound for Bevelle where we will meet up with reinforcements. Where is your fleet going? If we plan on fighting this war with each other we should coordinate our operations."

The Admiral awaited for the compliments to cease. Finally getting to the next order of business. "If you are bound for Bevelle then my forces shall join you shortly. We are currently refueling and making repairs to a few ships. Reinforcements shall arrive any minute now and there is already another force supposedly linking up with our forces in Hyperspace. There should be ten more Omega-X Destroyers and Whitestars to replace those that were lost. I will meet you there with a thousand Attack Vessels and two hundred Guardships. That should be enough for our effort in this battle. I agree that we should coordinate our efforts since they have proven affective."

The promised reinforcements arrived then with 150 Guardships and another 500 Attack Vessels. That would put the Guardships at 240 and a thousand Attack Vessels. The fleet would be ready to move out and a few short minutes as the last ship was having a patch of armor replaced.

...The Battle of at the Border was becomeing a stalmate atleast the Yevon Admiral thought so. The singal Yevon ship that was singaled out was turneding into a burning hulk by the fire of the enemy fleet. But then they enemy fleet was gone. This confused the Yevon forces. But they knew somthing was up. They went into a spread formation and waited... for what they did not know...

ES/NZ/ND border:

ACE-Recon data was analyzed, and quickly routed to Commander Lui'ran still aboard the Sal'ir. A small grin spread across her face. {Perfect...} The Yevon ships were now spread out, making them prime targets for the next series of events.

A flash...

The Shade Cruisers immediately decloaked near one or two ships, each.

A flicker...

Before the Shades were even completely decloaked, they engaged their tractor beams, holding holding the Yevon ships in place.

The hoard...

In the same instant, the main fleet jumped back into the fray, this time, in a different formation, right in the middle of the now spread out Yevon Fleet. The remaining 4,500 fighters in the cloud were now fired two "Thumper" Anti-Ship torpedoes each, about 25 each enemy ship. After the torpedoes were released, the Draken fighters began strafing runs along the lengths of the enemy ships, top and bottom, covering every meter of their hulls with MP cannon fire. They took care in ensuring they selected the Anti-fighter guns first. The fighters finished one strafe and immediately turned around for a second go, and a third...


The Preamus carriers each fired their Siege cannons at the largest capital ships visible in the Yevon fleet. Anything that wasn't friendly was fried. The 100 odd Line ships, which had remained as space-artillery support so far, positioned themselves right below each of the Yevon capital ships on the return jump, and unleashing a flurry of over 400 "Thumper" Anti-ship torpedoes each, right into the underbellies of the hapless ships above them, making for a spectacular light show of chaos and destruction.

The entire maneuver was designed to further confuse the enemy, and make sure that their fleet never reorganized.

Missiles and Torpedoes detonated, their quasar charges opening up in a awesome display of light, heat, gravity, and destructive power. Lasher cannons unleashed deadly Multi-Phasic energy from their barrels right at the cannons of the Yevon ships, Fighters twisted and spun about, ships seemed to let loose literal walls of energy in the silhouette of the ships themselves. The chaos was all consuming.

Yet among the disorder, Commander Lui'ran maintained unyielding control of her fleet. Sensing that the battles of New Paris were increasing in their ferocity, and importance, Colossus planetary strike cruisers in the IronSide Fleet were redirected towards that system.

Bevelle, Neo Zeta

The remaining Talaaxian vessels winked into realspace one after the other at the outer edge of the system. Joining them from Talaaxian space were three additional fleets as well as replacement vessels for the original fleets. The armada stayed in system only long enough to send off a message to Neo Zetan authorities.

Neo Zetan government - Colony worlds secure. Enemy forces were engaged at Colony 334. The enemy fleet was destroyed to a man, there were no survivors. We are outward bound for New Paris.

New Paris

The Talaaxian armada winked into realspace at the edge of the New Paris system simultaneously. Taking note of the battle currently raging on and above the planet, Warmaster Tsavong Lah contacted the allied fleets in orbit. "This is Warmaster Tsavong Lah of Talaax. Our victorious forces, fresh from our glorious victory in the colony worlds have arrived in system to render what aid is necessary to our allies. We have brought along substantial ground forces, if you send coordinates to us we will begin landing them immediately."

Bankotsu swung open the door to the throne room. He walked in slowly and smiles " Ah my new Throne Room."

A man laughing walked up in a black combat suit " Your throne? Last time i check i was still king of Neo Zeta." King Bradley said " And you a rebelle scum leader come in here and dare to claim it?"

Bankotsu smirks " Ever since my short reign as Abh Emperor i have longed for power."

Bradley smiles " Then you will have to fight me for it. But your friend there cant get involved."

Bankotsu smirks " Renkotsu leave us. I am sure we will have guest soon enough. Greet them ok?"

Renkotsu nods as he walks out of the room

Bankotsu smirks " I assume you will fight fair as well?"

Bradley smiles as he sends a transmission threw a wrest comm device " Attn all allied forces. I am going to be fighting Bankotsu is a fare dual. My Honor and Neo Zetas is on the line. No force may stop the battle nore protest the outcome." He ended the transmission by ripping the wrest device off and drew his sword. He then removed his eye patch and his left eye had the tattoo of orabus. " I go by another name..Pride."

The AT-AT near the temple begian to slow and lean to one side as it begian to fall. It fired one last blast befor it slamed into the temple itself. The shot hit a fuel storage area used for the military cuaseing a massive explosion. The city looked much like many would picture hell.

The Droids linked up with the temple and kept up the battle as The Crimson Corp set up Auto Turret systems inside the temple to make it that much more harder for enemys.

The Sky was filled with Droid and Allied fighters and bombers battleing it out for the sky. It would still be some time befor the air was won by either side. Tho numbers worked in allied favor.

The 501st seeing atlast that holding their postion would end with their destruction begian to flee into the underground system. The enemy chould not bombard it with out cuaseing massive damage to the city itself. Tho at this point it really wouldnt matter. But the 501st had a plan if that happened or even if it didnt....

The Battle in New Paris would be a close match up for stalingrad.. The Crusader Knights had killed over 9,000,000 of the citys wemon,childrain and the old. The sick were dead by now do to clouds of smoke. If and when Neo Zeta beat off Yevon this would not go unpunished.... this was war crimes on a epic scale.

At the ND/ES/NZ boarder the first real allied victory was nearing. The Yevon fleet was breaking up and fast. The Admiral knew he had made a very very bad mistake. He now made one final gamble. All ships were to attempt to brake the tractor beam holds and enter hyperspace and flee. Those that couldnt use hyperspace were to ramm the enemy ships. And those that cant even do that are to destroy their own ships. Weapons fire targerted enemy tractor beams. Counter Tractor beams were fired and engians were put to full.

And those that cant even do that are to destroy their own ships. Weapons fire targerted enemy tractor beams. Counter Tractor beams were fired and engians were put to full.

Weapons fire against the tractor beams of the Shade Cruisers succeeded in destroying a few of the fragile devices, however, the Shade Cruisers had only just joined the battle...leaving their shields at full capacity... There was no hope for breaking their hold on any more than a third of the Yevon fleet.

The counter tractor beams had a somewhat better effect. Tractor systems aboard the Shades were stressed to the limit, overloading a few, and completed destroying a few others.

As a counter, the Shades began to fire upon the FTL systems of the Yevon ships. The barrage from the Line ships below them should have lowered the shields of the enemy ships enough as to let even the weaker weapons of the Shades easily strike the FTL engines themselves. Whether or not the Yevon ships broke away from the tractor beams, where would they go without FTL capability?

The ramming, on the other hand, threw the final attack slightly off balance. All ships, though capable of jumping out of the way, were still extremely close to the Yevon ships. Any attempt to ram would surely be successful, however, just how damaging a slow ram would be (Since they're so close, they shouldn't be able to accelerate too much.) would be apparent later.

To counter the ramming attempts, Lui'ran gave the order for all ships to make one final barrage at the Sub-light, and FTL engines of the Yevon vessels, then quickly jump out of the way should they fail to slow the Yevon ships down [From their ramming attempts.]

(OOC: About the fighter strafing runs and Torpedo barrages from below, what effects have they had? Future reference.)

Yevon Temple

All of the ODSTs met up outside the Temple...
"Alright I'll take command of this unit..How strong are we?"
"Sir we have aproxx. 659 Men."
"Alright We need to retake this Temple.", "I want to spearhead the attack.."
"Sir where will we attack?"
"Half of the wall is blown appart here, we will make our insertion here and go from there." The men looked threw the dead for ammo and Grenades. After that each man said a prayer and started to run for the Break in the wall.

Red Light District

The Marines Searched for any Crusader or any Droid that hasn't pulled out of the City yet. If they were found they were killed instantly. The Marine AirLift Wings began to have Gun Runs near the Temple on Enemy Units.

The Board Fight was now not won Yevon could win. But that didnt mean a dying fleet had no teeth. The fighter attacks on Yevon ships did heavy damage to many and destroyed others. By this time shields were down. A few Yevon ships were lucky enough to get free and make the jump befor their FTL engians were destroyed. But they were few at the current rate on 32% of what was left was estimated to escape. The ships that lost their engians not only rammed enemy ships ( the ones that hadnt jumped) but used their auto destructs and overloaded their power cores. Anything to take out enemy ships. The Yevon Fleets computers estimated in 40 mintues the fleet will be gone. Either fled or destroyed is the fate of the ships now.

Under the Red Light District the 501st was makeing its way underground to try and exit outside the city and flee. But they left behind 90 men with the commander of the unit. In the hand of the commander he held a remote. He smiles as he gets word of the withdraw of his men other then the guards.

" From the Heart of Hell i Stabith The." He pushed the bottom triggering explosions all over key support units in the underground system. This cuased cave ins in some part but the last took the sake. A fully powered Zohard Power planet exploded cuasing a massive explosion in the red ligh district cuaseing the area toe crumble and fall into the underground system a 30 feet drop enough to crumble buildings and roads.

The Explosion was large enough to send a shock wave that blew out windows all the way at the temple and crack the road ways. Some Droids were even knocked down.

All Yevon forces in the Red Light District were now destroyed...

Redlight District (Or whats left of it.)

Marines were lying in holes....Cornel Mcknight slowly got up and noticed that his Right Arm was Sharply bent in a angle. He grabbed for the radio and he prayed that it still worked.
"This is Mcknight....anyone there preferably the Dragon?"
After some static...."This is the Dragon...Mcknight whats the situation on the ground?"
"It's fucking chaos get some Gull's to Airlift those who are still alive out of here!"
"Say again Mcknight?"
"Get us the fuck out of here! Now!"
"Alright Transports are on the way!"

Yevon Temple

The ODST made it inside the Temple and began to destroy any Droid or Crusader Soldier inside.

Bankotsu swung open the door to the throne room. He walked in slowly and smiles " Ah my new Throne Room."

A man laughing walked up in a black combat suit " Your throne? Last time i check i was still king of Neo Zeta." King Bradley said " And you a rebelle scum leader come in here and dare to claim it?"

Bankotsu smirks " Ever since my short reign as Abh Emperor i have longed for power."

Bradley smiles " Then you will have to fight me for it. But your friend there cant get involved."

Bankotsu smirks " Renkotsu leave us. I am sure we will have guest soon enough. Greet them ok?"

Renkotsu nods as he walks out of the room

No force may stop the battle nore protest the outcome." He ended the transmission by ripping the wrest device off and drew his sword. He then removed his eye patch and his left eye had the tattoo of orabus. " I go by another name..Pride."
Jacob and Jacen were closing in on the Throne Room when they heard Bradley's instruction. They sighed and decided to take on Renkotsu instead.

"Well, look who decided to show up." Jacob smirked as he spotted the demon.

The AT-AT near the temple begian to slow and lean to one side as it begian to fall. It fired one last blast befor it slamed into the temple itself. The shot hit a fuel storage area used for the military cuaseing a massive explosion. The city looked much like many would picture hell.

The Droids linked up with the temple and kept up the battle as The Crimson Corp set up Auto Turret systems inside the temple to make it that much more harder for enemys.
The Brigadier General's troops dove for cover as they saw the Auto Turrets and then proceeded to throw grenades in their direction. Slowly, but surely, they made their way into the interior of the Temple where the leader would be waiting.

The Sky was filled with Droid and Allied fighters and bombers battleing it out for the sky. It would still be some time befor the air was won by either side. Tho numbers worked in allied favor.

The 501st seeing atlast that holding their postion would end with their destruction begian to flee into the underground system.

The sick were dead by now do to clouds of smoke. If and when Neo Zeta beat off Yevon this would not go unpunished.... this was war crimes on a epic scale.
Whereever the enemy went, there was bombardment as the Star Destroyers did their best to eliminate the enemy with vast sweeps of turbolasers. Those places that were too urban for bombardments had gunships and Marines doing everything they could to eliminate the enemy, shooting dead anyone holding a weapon and trying to hurt them.

Under the Red Light District the 501st was makeing its way underground to try and exit outside the city and flee. But they left behind 90 men with the commander of the unit. In the hand of the commander he held a remote. He smiles as he gets word of the withdraw of his men other then the guards.

The Explosion was large enough to send a shock wave that blew out windows all the way at the temple and crack the road ways. Some Droids were even knocked down.

All Yevon forces in the Red Light District were now destroyed...
They also took at least one hundred Marines with them as well as several vehicles. The survivors were airlifted out of the war zone and those still fit to fight would be sent to the Temple to finish off Yevon once and for all.

Bradley made the first charge with his sword drawn. Bankotsu went to swing upward but bradley dodged. Bankotsu swung twice more with great speed each time Bradley was dodgeing befor the move even really started.

" How the hell do you know my moves befor i do..." Bankotsu said

Bradley smiles " My power is to see the future and all possible outcomes. I can even see the air flow in my eye." Bradley said as he struck bankotsu cutting him on the cheek with his sword.

Bankotsu punched Bradley hard in the stomic sending him flying back

" Even so my speed and power will be to much for you to over come." Bankotsu said

Renkotsu smiles as he pulls out a rail gun from a dead guard. " My my what do i have here." He opens fire on the two with deadly fire power.

At the Temple the forces kept up their attack with all they had. Destroy Droids were giveing out heavy loses when aiding the Super Battle Droids and Battle Droids.

Inside the temple stood Bui his very very large axe in his right hand "....." he didnt say a word he hardly spoke at all. He stood atleast 10 feet tall and his armor must hav weighed a ton. His Axe looked so big there would be no way he could swing it fast. Tho as any spirit detective knows looks dont tell the whole story.

Rubble of the Red Light District

Every Marine and Vehicle that was Alive and running went to the CP Area to be Air Lifted out of the City. Those that still wanted to fight were put in a special area to be transited to the Temple. Dropships entered the city and began to pick up those that didnt want to fight and were to wounded to..
Out of 7,776 Marines and 216 Vehicles,4,320 Men were still Alive and 142 Vehicles were still Operatable.

Yevon Temple

The ODST were having the Fight of thier lives inside the Temple...Dropships still were making gun runs on Enemy Posistions. 108 Gull Dropships appeared on sceen and began Dropping 2,592 Marines and 108 Tanks Under heavy fire. Dropships were destroyed and Marines were killed before they made it to cover.

As Jacob and Jacen advanced upon Renkotsu, multiple bright flashes of light illuminated the chamber for but a moment, leaving in their wake what appeared to be a scattering of lanky Godulan soldiers wielding no apparent weapons and bearing a strange patch on their shoulders depicting a black sword. Their eyes emitted some strange black mist with a light hissing noise, and they gave Renkotsu a look of almost gleeful hunger.

There were twelve of them, to be precise, and upon initial assessment of the situation deferred judgement to what appeared to be their commander.

"Khovak tai?" (Kill him now?)

"Zhivok tai! Shok yalak sirmtai!"(Use caution in termination! We may outnumber him and have allies, but right now we don't know what this guy can do)

"Ka!" (Got it)

And with that, all twelve of them brought out several lightsaber-esque rods and activated them, bringing out blades of billowing blackness with a strange Vwoom sound, somewhat smoother than the typical snap-hiss. As their blades came out, all of the troops seemingly sunk into the ground itself...

Bradley made the first charge with his sword drawn. Bankotsu went to swing upward but bradley dodged. Bankotsu swung twice more with great speed each time Bradley was dodgeing befor the move even really started.

" How the hell do you know my moves befor i do..." Bankotsu said

Bradley smiles " My power is to see the future and all possible outcomes. I can even see the air flow in my eye." Bradley said as he struck bankotsu cutting him on the cheek with his sword.

Bankotsu punched Bradley hard in the stomic sending him flying back

" Even so my speed and power will be to much for you to over come." Bankotsu said

Renkotsu smiles as he pulls out a rail gun from a dead guard. " My my what do i have here." He opens fire on the two with deadly fire power.
Two logs took the place of the Jedi as they teleported out of the way, then a flaring of energy occured as Jacob reappeared behind him to summon spikes from the floor with alchemy, while Jacen created a ball of ice to freeze the foe.

At the Temple the forces kept up their attack with all they had. Destroy Droids were giveing out heavy loses when aiding the Super Battle Droids and Battle Droids.

Inside the temple stood Bui his very very large axe in his right hand "....." he didnt say a word he hardly spoke at all. He stood atleast 10 feet tall and his armor must hav weighed a ton. His Axe looked so big there would be no way he could swing it fast. Tho as any spirit detective knows looks dont tell the whole story.
Yusuke and Mustang were fighting very hard to get to the foe who's waiting at the end. With the Jedi forces holding the droids down, they managed to make their way slowly to the boss, who happened to be one of Toguro's posse once a long time ago.

A blast of combined rei and explosive energy then burst through the door to the lair of Bui.

"Well well." Yusuke narrowed his eyes in recognition. "If it isn't the old friend that I thought Hiei defeated."

"..." The General merely snorted.

-----

"Hmm. It appears that there were two of the Band here." Sasuke said. "However, the third hasn't come. I suppose that we'll have to go and wipe out the South Pole base..."

Hiei smirks " Do what you want but i am here to reclame my right arm and the Dragon of the Darkness"

Renkotsu was forze in ice for a moment. But black flames came from his right arm melting the ice. " Fools i will use the attack on you i guess i have no other option."

" Ha always going for that attack when your total lack of power is shown to all?" Hiei said " I can never forgive myself for loseing my arm to you. You guys can fight him but in the end he is mine. And so is that right arm you stole from me!"

Renkotsu was now in a world of hurt cuaght between many enemys who wanted him dead.

Bui only laughs " A long time has passed since then and my powers have as well. Tho so have yours i am looking forword to this fight more then you know. Its the reasion i supported Bankotsu. To fight you!"

Meanwhile after yet another course change Seymours Armada reached its new target. The Abh World of Lobnoss II. As the Armada entered orbit Seymour sent out a message to four locations. Luna said their would be four governing factions all not on good terms with each other. One the Abh Administration and then three prision groups. One of Women,One of Men and one of men and Women who have been 'Fixed'. The message was sent to all four

This is Maester Seymour of Yevon. I come with a Armada that is fully able to turn your world into astroids. Surrender now and submit to Yevon and be saved.

Just as the Abh fleet was about the leave the Febdaush system, a small ship similar to the one that brought Lamia to the GFFA meeting pulled into the system.

The major approached the Admiral. "Sir, it seems like a member of the Betterman council has arrived."

Trife grunted. "Bring the shuttle aboard."

"Yes sir."

A small shuttle shot out from the ship and headed for the Keldiej. Out strode Lamia with his long blue hair tipped in an array of colors. He still wore a sleeveless black jacket and blakc gloves minus the fingers along with black sunglasses. Admiral, I wish to be your ground force for the defense of Bevelle.

Admiral Trife nodded. "I suppose that means your brought the seed of Forte with you?"

Lamia's Lipid channel was flashing. Along with Nebula and Aqua.

Trife nodded. "Very well."

The entire Abh fleet entered the Sord and made its way to Bevelle. The sord bent the very fabric of time as they entered plane space. Here they could travel anywhere where there was another Sord in short order. In what would have only been a few minutes in normal space, the 200 Guardships and 1000 Attack Vessels pulled out of the Sord near Bevelle along with the Flagship Keldiej. They made their way to position themselves next to the Talaaxian fleet.

Different Jump gates opened up to reveal reinforcements in the form of 25 VCDs and 55 Whitestars. Several shadows shimmered in the vacinity and finally took form. One was the new ship the Rambird while the rest were 40 Omega-X Destroyers.

The Admiral walked over to the villip. "Warmaster Lah? This is Admiral Trife as promised. I have a request. There is someone on board my ship that wishes to be the Abh ground force on the planet. He is only one man but worth a hundred of our marines. He will be of great help to you. I ask that you allow him to serve by your forces."
------------------------------------------
Lobnoss II

The garrison forces were on the other side of the planet when Seymour's fleet arrived. Three attack vessels made a break for it heading back to the capital to inform Star Forces.

No reply came immediatly to Seymour's fleet. Finally a man in short brown her wearing a prison guards uniform appeared infront of a screen. "I am Tomosoff and in charge of this facility. What is it that you want."

Off screen guards were scrambling to man defenses and the wall turrets while the two AT-ATs were manned and set to the harbor.

Slowly, a ship slipped closer to Deatheron space. It was clearly an Azaha style ship, through the decals set upon it were different, depicting some sort of thunder god being struck down by a scythe.

A message was sent directly towards Deatheron Prime, bearing a friendly tone.

"Hail my brethren! We have come long and far to visit you! Me and my brothers wish permission to enter your holy space. We wish to come directly to you to your prime! We have heard much of your Antaran church! We wish to learn much about this faith, for we have been faithless for so long, we may have stumbled upon our calling!" The fanatic's voice was zealous and passionate, aswell as very sincere.

Hiei smirks " Do what you want but i am here to reclame my right arm and the Dragon of the Darkness"
"Ah. In that case..." Sasuke radioed the Victory Star Destroyers in orbit to begin complete orbitial bombardment of the base in the South Pole before heading off to see about the Temple.

Renkotsu was forze in ice for a moment. But black flames came from his right arm melting the ice. " Fools i will use the attack on you i guess i have no other option."
Spikes then moved to impale him from Jacob's attack.

" Ha always going for that attack when your total lack of power is shown to all?" Hiei said " I can never forgive myself for loseing my arm to you. You guys can fight him but in the end he is mine. And so is that right arm you stole from me!"

Renkotsu was now in a world of hurt cuaght between many enemys who wanted him dead.
OOC: Is it his entire arm that's been taken?

IC:
His arm. That's it...if I could just... Jacob's lightsaber sprang to life and he moved to Renkotsu.

Bui only laughs " A long time has passed since then and my powers have as well. Tho so have yours i am looking forword to this fight more then you know. Its the reasion i supported Bankotsu. To fight you!"

"Is that all? I would have believed otherwise." Yusuke smirked, raising his finger.

Mustang and Yusuke suddenly unleashed their attacks on Bui.

Seymour smiled as he opened a live comm channel.

" What do i want? Simple your forces stand down and you surrender the area of the world you controle to me. And then you become a follower of Yevon and serve me. If you do so you will be rewarded."

the first message that was sent agian luna senced there were three other factions on the world. She was sure of it.

Back on Bevelle Renkotsu swung his fist forword " Dragon of the Darkness Flame" The Dragon shot out heading for the young warrior destroying anything in its path. Renkotsu was bleeding badly from the attacks but the jewl shards kept him alive.

OOC: Yes

IC: Bui dodged to the left and threw his Axe at mustang " Die you damn human. No one is going to stop me from killing Yusuke!!."

...The Board Fight was now not won Yevon could win. But that didnt mean a dying fleet had no teeth. The fighter attacks on Yevon ships did heavy damage to many and destroyed others. By this time shields were down. A few Yevon ships were lucky enough to get free and make the jump befor their FTL engians were destroyed. But they were few at the current rate on 32% of what was left was estimated to escape. The ships that lost their engians not only rammed enemy ships ( the ones that hadnt jumped) but used their auto destructs and overloaded their power cores. Anything to take out enemy ships. The Yevon Fleets computers estimated in 40 mintues the fleet will be gone. Either fled or destroyed is the fate of the ships now...

"Damn, they got away..." As few as the escaped ships were, their numbers did little to soften Lui'ran's disappointment.

"Com, send encrypted databurst to Command, audio, 'Yevon forces on the run. Minimal losses...Victory is ours.'"

She sat down in her chair, and issued final orders to mop up the rest of the Yevon forces.

The Shade cruisers were ordered to pursue escaping Yevon vessels until they were either destroyed, or out of the system. The rest of the fleet continued to maintain their barrage on those vessels which did not escape by jump and were stuck in Sub-light.

While the escape jumps to avoid the ramming vessels were for the most part, successful, those ships that self-destructed proved to be more effective. Ships that jumped out of the way avoided being rammed, just be hit by a shockwave from a suicidal Yevon vessel.

In the end however, their efforts were in vain. The Preamus carriers had jumped outside of the sector, leaving the extremely heavily armored and shielded Line ships to be hit. Every ship that sensors showed was overloading, were immediately fired upon to halt the overload before it was complete.

The Battle on the Boarder was over. Only three Yevon Vessles were left. Their weapon systems offline, Engians Offline,Shields offline, Auto Destruct offline and Main power core offline. They couldnt destroy themselfs. One of the ships was the Yevon Admirals their communcations were left. Their fate was in the ES fleets hands.

Tomosoff scratched the back of his head trying to buy time. "I can't do that. I don't have the authority. You see, only the Empire can give up part of the system. We don't have that many forces to stand down anyways. We aren't military. This is just a police force to guard prisoners."

The Western sector of the continent was home to the women but had recently been turned into another part of the administrative sector. La La Shangal sat in her chair sunnig when a message came through an old comm that hadn't been used since the Empire took over the system. She slammed her hand on the button to open the channel. "This is La La Shangal of the Western Sector of Lobnoss." She crossed her arms under her breasts as she leaned against the table.

The three Attack Vessels arrived at Lakfakalalae with the urgent message. Spoor was there in her military uniform. She still had the bulk of all Abh Star Forces and three other Admirals. The message went out for Wakapale to assemble her fleet and to rendezvous with Admiral Spoor's fleet at the Vobayrunay Gate. It would be a massive fleet to put down Seymour.

Seymour was still talking to Tomosoff tho he now bordcast his meeting to the entire planet. " You are trying to buy time are you not? You will find unlike abh i do not care what laws you follow. I gave you a choice and you refuse it. You dont have to spare my feelings. I am sorry you dont wish to join us. I guess i will have to do things the hard way."

With communcations still open he turned to his Secound officer " Have ground forces land. Kill ever one on the world. Show no mercy even babys will die."

He turned back to Tomosoff " I will see you soon my human friend."

With that communcations ended and shots begian to rain down from orbit targeting the walls of world. The Ground Forces drop ships were readyed and would launch soon.

The Battle on the Boarder was over. Only three Yevon Vessles were left. Their weapon systems offline, Engians Offline,Shields offline, Auto Destruct offline and Main power core offline. They couldnt destroy themselfs. One of the ships was the Yevon Admirals their communcations were left. Their fate was in the ES fleets hands.

Cheers were abound throughout the fleet. The Sovereign Space Force, though having just come out of centuries of isolation, was still a competent military force. Celebrations were short however, as the various crews still remembered that only the battle had been won. The war was not over yet, and there were still more powerful foes out there. All the more chances to lose... The thought was a humbling one.

Meanwhile, Commander Lui'ran considered her options regarding the remaining Yevon ships. Here was an excellent opportunity to possibly retrieve some new technology, or more importantly, some intelligence from crew members still alive. Little did she know that the big catch was in her hands. A Yevon Admiral himself...

In a few minutes, 6 Marine assault craft were readied and dispatched to the three remaining ships, ready to commandeer the ships and have them towed back to port

Lui'ran ordered all remaining lifesigns aboard the Yevon ships to be beamed aboard the few Shade Cruisers. However, every survivor, rather then be rematerialized, would instead be kept in suspended transport, a position they would present the least risk.

Once the transport was complete, Three Ultra-light carriers towed the three Yevon craft back to the nearest starbase in the sector, while the rest of the fleet followed to refit, and replenish their numbers, before linking back up with the Colossus PSCs dispatched to New Paris earlier.

As the fight between the various parties and Renkotsu progressed, the floor began to ripple slightly with activity. Like ghosts emerging from the floors, they came silently, rising up to bring their pitch-black swords around to strike at the massive gunwielding whateverthehellitwas, then immediately sinking back into the floor.

From every direction they came, the walls, the ceiling, everywhere. The only way to describe their moves would have been 'eerie'.

Tomosoff wasn't as nervous as he appeared. He knew there were garrison forces on the other side in orbit and he had a few men send the word out for everyone to make the mountains and hide in the shelters. When Seymour forces landed, there would only be men ready to fight for their families. The walls wouldn't fall so easily since they zig zagged everywhere and were hard to see from orbit. AT-ATs were also dispersed to protect key locations.

At the appointed rendezvous, Spoor met up with Admiral Wakapale on their different flagships. There arrayed was 2000 Guardships, 1000 Patrolships, 4000 Attack Vessels and 500 Frontlineships. As an added treat, the fleet would be accompanied by 5 Rambirds. Along with dropships containing several thousand Abh+ marines.

Spoor stood on the bridge of her bright red flagship that happened to match her eyes. "This is Admiral Spoor from the Latchkue. We are heading to the Lobnoss System. I want Space Time Bubbles in individual squadron sizes. Let's move out!"

The thousands of ships entered the Sord and made their way to the Lobnoss system.

The Yevon Admiral got word men were being beamed off befor most of them could be he used one last dirty trick. He flooded the ship with Gamma Radation. He wanted his crews to die for not dying in battle like a real follower of Yevon would.

Seymour smiles as he looks at Luna " Well?"

She looks at the world " The People flee to the mountians."

Seymour smirks "Send the majority of our forces to the main areas and fight the enemy. Let them think their loved ones are safe. Have the Hellfire Droids and Spider walkers land in force. 300 Droid Fighters and 90 Bombers begian planet side missions. Then land The Crusader Knights all 2,000 of them where their loved ones are heading."

OOC: Crusader Knight= my version of the Elite SS Divisions.

Yevon Temple

The ODST men were dieng and Fighting within the Temple...Soon the Marine forces would link up with them from the outside. Jensen Felt the ground shaking.."Jesus what is that?"
"I don't know sir, and I don't want to find out."
"Some, alright lets keep moving. Stay sharp Men."
The Marines outside the Temple were engaging Entranched Droids and Crusader Soldiers. The Tanks blew away at the Defensives allowing the Marines to Surge Forward.
"Comon Keep Moving we need to link up with the ODST inside"
Sargant Blackburn grabbed a Rocket Launcher and Fired at one of the Windows that the Crusaders were using.

Back on Bevelle Renkotsu swung his fist forword " Dragon of the Darkness Flame" The Dragon shot out heading for the young warrior destroying anything in its path. Renkotsu was bleeding badly from the attacks but the jewl shards kept him alive.

OOC: Yes
In just microseconds before he would be fried to a crisp, Jacob disappeared in a flash of light once more, letting the dragon pass through the air where he once was. Then he reappeared to slash at the specific points where the Jewel Shards lie...

IC: Bui dodged to the left and threw his Axe at mustang " Die you damn human. No one is going to stop me from killing Yusuke!!."
Mustang's reflexs allowed him to dive out of the way of the axe while he fired off another deadly spark of explosive energy.

Meanwhile, Yusuke moved in closer to Bui and fired off another blast.

...The Yevon Admiral got word men were being beamed off befor most of them could be he used one last dirty trick. He flooded the ship with Gamma Radation. He wanted his crews to die for not dying in battle like a real follower of Yevon would...

(OOC: Hmmm, that's kind of desperate. I'll have to edit my post then? My post already had the transport go off without a hitch. The timing for when the Gamma Radiation thing happens is something that needs to be taken into account. [In my post.]. Ah well.)

IC:

Fortunately, transport was a quick process. The majority of the crews were beamed off with only a medium dosage. Perfectly treatable. A few others however, most likely those closest to where the Radiation was being released, where in critical condition. Yet with the suspended transport order holding the Yevons all in dematerialized form, time itself wouldn't even be an issue. They could be treated at a doctor's leisure.

To the Marines dispatched to the ships, like the Marines of countless other races, the radiation was not much of a problem. Although it took over an hour or so to work out the alien controls, they eventually found the source of the venting radiation, sealed it, and cleared the rest of the ships.

By that time, the fleet was already refit at the Sector Starbase, and were awaiting additional reinforcements before heading off again.


(OOC: OK, so yay, I get three shattered hulks of ships... lol.)

Renkotsu was cut a few times by the ghost attacks. He was fast but when a enemy can come from anywhere your options are limited. " What the hell are those!" He yelled and then se felt a slash and a jewl shard fly out of his neck. it skidded accros the floor and to a strange bugs feet. Which carried it off.

Renkotsu fell back " D-Damn it only two left........" He said

"Why wont you guys die!!" he punched at jacobs face.

The Forces at the Temple were starting to get tired. They held their postion as best they good but They wernt makeing any progress when it comes to advanceing

Buis front armor shatters as he slides back.

" Very well then you leave me little choice." He removed his armor and stood there in a light combat suit. His body was surronded by a green aura. He smiles as his feet lifted of the ground " My turn" A large blast of his aura left him and headed for Yusuke. Mustangs attacks would have no effect on Bui aslong as his aura protected him.


OOC: Yeah the ships are two Banking Clan Cruisers and a Trade Federation Type Battleship. Could be useful but you will have to remove every computer from the ship and replace it and get the system to respond to them. Like those in star wars they are all linked to a main command center at a hidden location. When a ship is taken then they will just have the computer keep the ship offline. But hey thats a tractor beam is for lol.

Slowly, a ship slipped closer to Deatheron space. It was clearly an Azaha style ship, through the decals set upon it were different, depicting some sort of thunder god being struck down by a scythe.

A message was sent directly towards Deatheron Prime, bearing a friendly tone.

"Hail my brethren! We have come long and far to visit you! Me and my brothers wish permission to enter your holy space. We wish to come directly to you to your prime! We have heard much of your Antaran church! We wish to learn much about this faith, for we have been faithless for so long, we may have stumbled upon our calling!" The fanatic's voice was zealous and passionate, aswell as very sincere.


The Imperial High Command recieved the hail from the Azaha ship. The Imperial High Command was still trying to keep order after the untimely death of the Shadow Emperor Alfred Von Antheron. The Arch Duke/ Avatar of the Antarans Nym Kazar however was notified of the message. THe Avatar read it and went to the temple to consult his gods the Antarans on how to respond.

An hour later a message was sent from the temple:

The Antarans have decided to allow us to teach you of there most holy ways. A Priest of the Antarans will be dispatched to show you the path of true origin..

Renkotsu was cut a few times by the ghost attacks. He was fast but when a enemy can come from anywhere your options are limited. " What the hell are those!" He yelled and then se felt a slash and a jewl shard fly out of his neck. it skidded accros the floor and to a strange bugs feet. Which carried it off.

Renkotsu fell back " D-Damn it only two left........" He said

"Why wont you guys die!!" he punched at jacobs face.
Left hand... Dodging under the fist, Jacob slashed upwards at the left arm.

The Forces at the Temple were starting to get tired. They held their postion as best they good but They wernt makeing any progress when it comes to advanceing

Buis front armor shatters as he slides back.

" Very well then you leave me little choice." He removed his armor and stood there in a light combat suit. His body was surronded by a green aura. He smiles as his feet lifted of the ground " My turn" A large blast of his aura left him and headed for Yusuke. Mustangs attacks would have no effect on Bui aslong as his aura protected him.
"My game." Yusuke said as he dodged the aura blast. Mustang nodded. With an aura like this...

Yusuke suddenly moved to punch the lights of Bui out.

OOC: Did you mean right arm? thats the arm with the dragon of the darkness flame. Will respond to that part when i hear from ya.


Buis Aura would burn the flesh of most who touched it. Tho Yusuke wouldnt care he figured. The punch knocked him back as he smiles. " My attacks arnt that weak " comeing up behind Yusuke was the aura attack he had dodged.

OOC: The attacks home in on the enemy once it sets out on a target it keeps after it. not adding stuff this is all powers from the show.

OOC: I hate it when this happens. I go to class for a few hours and come back to five pages that I have to go through.
On a side note, I will continue with this RP until I go to bed before I leave tomorrow. While I'm gone, feel free to RP battles with the ships in my fleets ( it will take an entire fleet to handle a single Graviton; it will take four direct hits from a Whitestar just to pierce a Squids defenses; the Nadabs will take two direct hits from a Whitestar to pierce the defenses; the other classes are equipped with standard defenses). The only ships I truely want to survive are the four fleet flagships (the Witch Hunter especially) (heavy damage is acceptable). Robin Sena will survive, though injuries will be sustained (she may be a powerful pyrokinetic, but she is no Q). As for Robin's power with controlling flame, just don't piss her off and you won't get charbroiled.

IC: Deatharon Front

The Elvenblood fleet jumped to Third Space the instant instability was detected in the systems sun. Third Space, like Hyperspace, was not a method of F.T.L. that would be affected by gravitational forces. The fleet would emerge near Beville in one hour. For some odd reason though, even as the SeaQuestian fleet had blasted the Deatharon fleet with weapons fire, the enemy had not returned fire. At Beville, the Elvenblood fleet with link up with the Elvenborn fleet and the two fleets would then jump to Third Space and transit to Neo Paris. After the Elvenblood fleet's one hour trip to Beville, it would take the combined Elvenblood and Elvenborn fleets another hour to reach Neo Paris.

Beville - Surface - Air Battle

The 2,122 Death Glyders came swarming out of the clouds and began firing their dual staff cannons at anything not registering as a friendly. The plasma weapons would impart their kinetic and thermal energy at the target as well as any destruction caused by the plasma itself. The Glyders fired at targets both in the air and on the ground.

Beville - Surface - Command Bunker

Hearing the sounds of fighting, Robin retrieved the disrupter rifle that Bradley hadn't taken. She switched off the safety on the weapon and left the room with it leveled in front of her.

OOC: Did you mean right arm? thats the arm with the dragon of the darkness flame. Will respond to that part when i hear from ya.
OOC: Jacob is carving him up like a Thanksgiving turkey. The left arm is deliberate to compound damage.


Buis Aura would burn the flesh of most who touched it. Tho Yusuke wouldnt care he figured. The punch knocked him back as he smiles. " My attacks arnt that weak " comeing up behind Yusuke was the aura attack he had dodged.
Damn! Yusuke cursed and then smirked, letting the aura chase him towards Bui then suddenly darting to the side.

Renkotsu jumped back a bad cut on his left arm but nothing to bad.

" Your fast but i am faster."


At the Temple

Bui Smiles as the Aura hits him dead on. The explosion was very large but when the dust cleared Bui stood there smileing " I put enough power in that attack to destroy you. Take that any way you want."

OOC: That was the same thing Hiei tried on Bui in the Dark tournament. And Buis reponse was the same.

Seymour smiles as he looks at Luna " Well?"

She looks at the world " The People flee to the mountians."

Seymour smirks "Send the majority of our forces to the main areas and fight the enemy. Let them think their loved ones are safe. Have the Hellfire Droids and Spider walkers land in force. 300 Droid Fighters and 90 Bombers begian planet side missions. Then land The Crusader Knights all 2,000 of them where their loved ones are heading."

OOC: Crusader Knight= my version of the Elite SS Divisions.

A young man in armor caming rushing in. "Tomosoff!"

"Yes?"

"The Yevon forces are dropping near the mountain refuge."

A fist slammed the desk. "Blast! How many guards do we have manning the Eastern wall?"

"Umm..about two hundred with most of the defense turrets still operational. We have 500 in this sector rushing to the cars to head in. There is a problem though."

"Like this isn't a problem?!"

"The prisoners want our protection as well."

Tomosoff shook his head. "No. There are far too many of them. They will be able to avoid the attack. There are several hundred thousands of them so if worse comes to worse, they can always overwhelm them. Now, I want the Imperial Walkers on the way to. Man the defenses. Load all ships capable of flying with explosives. They'll be our makeshift bombers."

Defense turrets activated and moved to cover the area where people were evacuating. Ships latched on to the Walkers and flew them out to the battlefield. Police guards were digging trenches in the mountains among the trees for defense.

Spoor sat down in her personal throne chair. She began shaping the fleet to the battle. "All Frontlineships are to remain inside the Sord. As soon as the two fleets are in normal space, Frontlineships are to prepare for mine attack. I will need a squadron of Attack Vessels to be ready to make a planetside excursion for cover to the marines and to regain air superiority. The rest will remain behind and deal with any fighters and missles the enemy throws at us. I want Guardships in a crescent formation so that the fleet's only escape is through us. Patrolships as well are to take the front since they manuever better and are faster. Guardships will be their heavy fire support."

She looked down at her chief of Staff Cufadiss. "How long until Super Star Destroyers arrive?"

"Ma'am we have three that will be her in thirty minutes."

Spoor sighed as her eyes remained closed. "Well I hate waiting so we will go ahead and begin the attack. All ships prepare to move out."

Renkotsu found himself assaulted on all sides, and it was eventually decided for three of the Special Forces to remain in the air for a somewhat more direct assault. They kept up their attack, and as their black weapons scythed and sliced, up came the three.

They came up in full combat stance, wielding two of the pitch black swords which shimmered and emitted the same strange black mist their eyes did. Deathly silent they were, like wraiths and phantasms, as they approached Renkotsu in strange, almost lilting combat stances. They were pulling either a drunken master schtick, or they were zombie kung fu masters. Truth be told it would be hard to tell.

One could only characterize their approach as 'roaming in', and that they did, striking out with their swords as soon as they got close enough.

The leader grinned, and seemed to almost go into a frenzy.

"Of course my brethren! We shall wait at this location to hear from your preists! We cannot wait to learn to your ways! With speed my freinds, with speed!" That reply was sent, after it was sent, the leader seemed to calm down to "normal", and turned to his bridge crew. "Make our system operations erratic, we aren't a highly trained crew here."

Renkotsu jumped back a bad cut on his left arm but nothing to bad.

" Your fast but i am faster."
"Really?" Jacob remarked as a bunch of the Godulan special forces moved to stab him and such. He noticed two more Shikon shards and moved to strike at the one connecting his foe's right arm to the body while Renkotsu's distracted with the 'drunken monkey' stances.

At the Temple

Bui Smiles as the Aura hits him dead on. The explosion was very large but when the dust cleared Bui stood there smileing " I put enough power in that attack to destroy you. Take that any way you want."

OOC: That was the same thing Hiei tried on Bui in the Dark tournament. And Buis reponse was the same.
OOC: Ah.

IC:
"Heh. Then I'll just have to kick your ass the old-fashioned way." Yusuke smirked as he moved into a stance then charged the demon for a cliff-smashing punch. "Yaaaah!"

Renkotsu took many cuts unable to keep up with so many oppenets. Then he felt it. The right arm he had taken from hiei feel to the ground as the the jewl shard was removed from it. as it hit the ground he fell back on the ground. He could fight back no more

" Mercy please i surrender!"

Hiei smirks as he picked up is right arm. He ripped the stiching that had sealed his wound up long ago. He made sure it never closed. He put his arm on and let the jewl shard do its work.

At the temple.

Bui smirks " I would expect nothing less!!" He said as he swung his fist to meet yusukes.

Seymour smirks as his troops land on the Abh worlds. The Droids in perfect formation begian their attack on what ever they saw. The Hellfire Droid Tanks and Spider walkers begian their assultes on heavly guarded enemy postions all over the place. Fighters and bombers moved in on one Walker to engage it. Meanwhile in the mountains the Crusader Knights begian their attack as well.

In one of the prison sections one of the Spider Walkers made its way into the area unleashing hell on the people there.

In orbit Seymour was informed of a large encomeing fleet. The fleet had numbers but they would be in for a nice shock. This battle fleet was made up of Battlecruisers and Battleships. No light craft at all and ofcourse there was the Titan. " Today we will kill many Abh Yevon will be every happy with us."

The Special Forces unit silently backed off upon the collapse of their opponent. The twelve were soon all in plain sight again, emerging from the walls, ceiling, and floor. Those nine that had been immersed in the various solid surfaces turned and walked into the next room. Though it was required to leave Bankotsu and Bradley to their own devices they would make certain that Bankotsu would not leave the room. Ever.

The commander of the group stood in the middle of the nine, and said a simple word:

"Ip" (Pincer move, three on the left, three on the right, I'll advance down the middle. Establish positions and await further instructions.)

New Paris-

The fighting was intense, and the Potemkin and her cohorts had much to show for it. The intense fighter-to-fighter combat had held up the New Dornalians, and both sides were mauled intensely. They had left to reorganize.

Now, an opening emerged. It seemed that the enemy was still making trouble below. Immediately, ship railguns were fired from the Potemkin and Super Warp Cannons were fired from the Maos in the fleet, targeted at major enemy concentrations, and drop pods and dropships soon began going down to deploy about 500,000 Naval Infantry and Regulars from the Potemkin, along with accompanying war machines, against the fanatics.

Renkotsu took many cuts unable to keep up with so many oppenets. Then he felt it. The right arm he had taken from hiei feel to the ground as the the jewl shard was removed from it. as it hit the ground he fell back on the ground. He could fight back no more

" Mercy please i surrender!"

Hiei smirks as he picked up is right arm. He ripped the stiching that had sealed his wound up long ago. He made sure it never closed. He put his arm on and let the jewl shard do its work.
Coredian soldiers then came in to arrest Renkotsu.

"He's a prisoner of war now." Jacob told the soldiers. "Treat him accordingly."

"Yes, sir." The soldiers moved to take the demon to custody.

"Meanwhile...Jacen, go and find Yusuke. I think he's at the Temple." Jacob said.

"All right. What about you?"

"I'm going inside to see about Bradley and Bankotsu. There's something familiar about Bradley, though..." Jacob trailed off and without a second word, teleported inside and leaned on a wall to watch the duel. Should the Fuhrer and the M'Lekk'Torr somehow fail to kill Bankotsu, he'll summon his alchemic powers to finish the demon off. But there's something he needed to confirm about Bradley and the other people he saw a few weeks ago...something to do with the tatoo symbols known as ouroboros...

At the temple.

Bui smirks " I would expect nothing less!!" He said as he swung his fist to meet yusukes.
A loud explosion-like crack sounded as the fists connected at each other and then without anything to register the pain of the blow, Yusuke followed up with a roundhouse kick to Bui's side.

Seymour smirks as his troops land on the Abh worlds. The Droids in perfect formation begian their attack on what ever they saw. The Hellfire Droid Tanks and Spider walkers begian their assultes on heavly guarded enemy postions all over the place. Fighters and bombers moved in on one Walker to engage it. Meanwhile in the mountains the Crusader Knights begian their attack as well.

In one of the prison sections one of the Spider Walkers made its way into the area unleashing hell on the people there.

In orbit Seymour was informed of a large encomeing fleet. The fleet had numbers but they would be in for a nice shock. This battle fleet was made up of Battlecruisers and Battleships. No light craft at all and ofcourse there was the Titan. " Today we will kill many Abh Yevon will be every happy with us."

Defense turrets launched volley after volley of rockets into the droid formations. Cargo ships flew over head dropping explosives over their formations. The prison guards held firm their positions and kept up steady streams of laser fire pouring into the droid lines.

Tomosoff's car came flying up the road. He and his men were cut off from the rest of his men in the mountains. "Don't stop! Drive through them!" Tomosoff hung out the window with his rifle and started firing at droids. About hundred other cars followed suit driving through droids.

The one walker focused its attack on the fighters and bombers. The other waded into the droids and began firing and stomping on droids.

The Frontlineships remained inside of the Sord. All mine ports opened and prepared to fire.

Spoor stood on the bridge and drew her command saber. "All Frontlineships, fire." 50,000 mobile mines lead the charge. Then came the Abh fleet. Thousands of ships swarming out of the Sord. Patrolships along side Attack Vessels swarmed over the large ships. They fired point break range at key locations like generators and engine reactors. Guardships were much more slower in their approach firing their high energy weapons at the outter ships first.

BRadley and Bankotsu kept up their dual. Each unable to make any progress. Bradley then saw a possible future. One that tempted him to do somthing that was not at all like him. To keep his idenity safe he would make a deal... He stood back and put his eye patch back on.

" This fight it pointless. I offer you a deal if you have all droids stand down and renounce yevon i will hand over the title of Emperor to you. You would be a stroung leader. However i would stay Fuhrer and have joint controle of the Military to insure you dont have to much power."

Bankotsu smirks thinking it over. He knew he was out numbered and this would be the easyist way to do it. The G.F.F.A could not overrule the decsion of King Bradley. He smirks " You have a deal tho i only have controle of Droids on Bevelle." He pushed a botton on his wrest device. Moments later Droid Fighters landed and shut down. Followed by Droids on the ground. The Crimson Corps at the Temple kept up the fight their radios were offline.

Bankotsu smirks " Its done now your end of the deal."

Bradley hands Bankotsu the royal gem that only the Emperor or King may have.

But this was all meaningless if Yevons forces reached Bevelle and they both knew it.

Bui was knocked on to the ground by the kick. He pushed him self back up fast and mule kicked back at Yusuke

The battle of New Paris kept fighting on as Droids pushed deeper into the city center. Droid Spider Walkers kept advanceing and fighters dualed over the city.

Over the Abh Prision World Seymour smirks as the mines struck the first of their ships. " Fold Drive Engage!" The ships folded into the enemy formation and opened up with all batterys. They wanted a close range battle. Fighters and Bombers move in on their attack.

On the Groud Hellfire tanks opened up on the cars trying to come threw. Hellfire Droids were large tank like Droids with two large wheels and rapid fire energy missles. The Battle in the prision section heated up as Spider Walkers Engaged enemy walkers from beind trying to get out of their weapons range.

OOC: I'm sorry ND i forgot to post a scean change. Seymours fleet is at another world. A Abh Prision World not New Paris i will re-edit. You can send your fleet to there if you want to engage seymour there.

As Yevon forces busied themselves battling other allied fleets, the Talaaxian armada moved into low orbit over Neo Paris. On the bridge of Pain Bearer, Warmaster Tsavong Lah monitored his fleet and the battle below. "Begin landing ground forces here. Three kilometers north of the city. All ground contingents are to be landed. Coralskippers and Tsik-Seru are to provide cover for the yorik-trema."

About an hour later, ground troops began to descend into atmosphere toward their landing zone. Providing escort and cover for them were nearly 22,000 fighter craft. 8 legions of warriors and Chazrach slave soldiers, as well as accompanying rakamats and fire breathers made up the ground forces. They are ordered to secure the landing zone and await further orders.

OOC: Total troops being landed:

50,000 Yuuzhan Vong Warriors
100,000 Chazrach slave soldiers
100 Rakamats
75 Fire Breathers

OOC: I'm sorry ND i forgot to post a scean change. Seymours fleet is at another world. A Abh Prision World not New Paris i will re-edit. You can send your fleet to there if you want to engage seymour there.

OOC: So what fighting is occuring at New Paris?

Seymour smirks as the mines struck the first of their ships. " Fold Drive Engage!" The ships folded into the enemy formation and opened up with all batterys. They wanted a close range battle. Fighters and Bombers move in on their attack.

On the Groud Hellfire tanks opened up on the cars trying to come threw. Hellfire Droids were large tank like Droids with two large wheels and rapid fire energy missles. The Battle in the prision section heated up as Spider Walkers Engaged enemy walkers from beind trying to get out of their weapons range.

Folding into the Abh fleet was not a problem at all since the Patrolships and Attack Vessels were already moving in close range. They merely pivoted and continued their attacks. They swarmed over ships from above, below, and all sides. It looked like a tidal wave had rushed over several ships downing them in the war frenzied Abh commanders. They fired at point blank range unafraid of any ship defense that was in the close proximity. Several attack vessels broke off to engage fighters.

"This is Hecto-Commander Ekuryua, squadrons one through fifteen with me. We'll handle the fighters while the rest deal with ships."

Patrolships focused on firing at the bridges of command ships and engines along with their vents. Frontlineships launched another volley of mines. With the friend and foe difference, the Abh ships were in no harm.

The garrison forces were now prepared to take over air superiority on the planet. The Attack Vessels dropped out of the atmosphere and egnaged droid fighters and hellfire droids. A few cars were hit but they kept plowing through droids like medieval calvary.

The walker engaged with the fighters focused its attention on the Spider Walkers.
------------------
Admiral Trife looked at Lamia. "You are under their orders. Don't forget."

With only a nodd Lamia left on his shuttle and landed down beside the Talaaxian ground forces. He stepped out and began looking for the commander in charge.

BRadley and Bankotsu kept up their dual. Each unable to make any progress. Bradley then saw a possible future. One that tempted him to do somthing that was not at all like him. To keep his idenity safe he would make a deal... He stood back and put his eye patch back on.

Bankotsu smirks " Its done now your end of the deal."

Bradley hands Bankotsu the royal gem that only the Emperor or King may have.

But this was all meaningless if Yevons forces reached Bevelle and they both knew it.
"Is this wise, Fuhrer?" Jacob saw the whole thing. "He rebelled, after all..."

Bui was knocked on to the ground by the kick. He pushed him self back up fast and mule kicked back at Yusuke
Yusuke barely dodged the blow and used his position to smash an enhanced punch into the demon's gut, then sent a Shotgun attack through the punch.

The battle of New Paris kept fighting on as Droids pushed deeper into the city center. Droid Spider Walkers kept advanceing and fighters dualed over the city.
The Marines continued to fight the droids as air-to-air units strafed all the positions they saw. Cougars slashed and clawed their way through many an enemy ranks while EMP weapons were being employed by some of the units. All in all, it was much like the Clone Wars of old...

Lamia was received without ceremony by Supreme Commander Rua Vorrik. Crossing his arms across his chest in salute he offered only token greetings. "I am Supreme Commander Rua Vorrik. Welcome to our landing zone, Lamia. Come this way and my forces will soon be underway. The abominations in the command of our enemies will be crushed without mercy!"

Lamia bowed his head and answered in his broken feral speech. "Put me where I am most needed and I shall destroy many machines."

The Marines continued to fight the droids as air-to-air units strafed all the positions they saw. Cougars slashed and clawed their way through many an enemy ranks while EMP weapons were being employed by some of the units. All in all, it was much like the Clone Wars of old...

The Naval Infantry began fighting to aid the Coredians, as Grant Ground Strike Fighters and Seminole Gunships began targeting their enemies and Kurosawa II's began firing railgun shot at the droids. The Naval Infantry, meanwhile, called down some Daltrey mechs to try and fight the enemy units as well.....they shot with railguns and lasgun fire.

Fighters not invovled in the fighting above were called to aid the troops below, as the enemy was laying it on thick...

All the while, the Infantry themselves were assaulting the droid positions, using CQB tactics like in Torusumi's War, only taken to the nth degree.

"Very good... Follow me, we will go into battle together!" Turning as he spoke, Commander Vorrik waved his hand toward the perimeter closest to the city. Soon, at the head of his troops where any Talaaxian commander would be, Commander Vorrik led his forces toward the city.

The ground forces were under orders to attack the droid forces in the city on a relatively narrow front and cut an escape corridor to the city center. Allied forces were to be relieved as quickly as possible, then Yevon forces would be destroyed in full. Leading the way into the city along a four kilometer front, were the fire breathers. Emitting anti-laser aerosols and spraying gelatinous flame at anything that moved, the fire breathers were to clear out dug in enemy forces.

Behind them advanced the warriors, Chazrach and rakamats, interspersed throughout the formation. Leading their slave soldiers forward, the warriors were in a frenzy. The mere sight of droids would send them into an unstoppable bloodlust. Any droids encountered, even protocol or other civilian droids, were reduced to scrap metal. Rakamats, the heavy vehicles of the ground forces advanced with the infantry and engaged any enemy vehicles encountered with their massive plasma cannons ( like turbolaser cannons ). Chazrach, less fanatical about droids simply attacked what they were told to attack. If a more formidibly fortified enemy position were encountered, orbiting cruisers would destroy it with their plasma cannons.

Still providing air cover, hundreds of coralskippers and tsik-seru fighters buzzed about. Anything not readily identifiable as friendly flying over the city was engaged by upwards of 10 fighters at a time. Relying on sheer force of numbers, the coralskippers and tsik-seru relentlessly engaged enemy fighters in order to obtain air superiority over the city.

Lamia sprinted after the Commander. He had been ready for battle for so long of a time. Too long had he been sitting in solitude with the Council. For too long had they kept themselves out of the affairs of others. Now was his chance to fight once again. Even in this form of a human, he could crush a droid with his bare hands. His teeth could tear a swath through their lines. He knew that he himself were good enough for a thousand Abh marines.

He kept his right hand on the inside of his jacket pocket wrapped around a red glowing seed. Show me a foe worthy of the seed of Forte. Show me and I shall destroy it.

The leader grinned, and seemed to almost go into a frenzy.

"Of course my brethren! We shall wait at this location to hear from your preists! We cannot wait to learn to your ways! With speed my freinds, with speed!" That reply was sent, after it was sent, the leader seemed to calm down to "normal", and turned to his bridge crew. "Make our system operations erratic, we aren't a highly trained crew here."


A single personal transport shuttle launched from one of the orbital platforms. The Shuttle was also escorted by three Interceptor Class Fighters. The Shuttle hails the Azaha ship:

This is the Priest of the Antarans Koshlin Mizar. I have come to teach you of the ways of the true Gods the Antarans.

The Naval Infantry cried in a cheer of "HUZZAH!" as they saw the Talaaxian troops work their deadly art on the Yevonese droid armies. This inspired them to fight harder, as they began assaulting enemy positions with redoubled fury.

Meanwhile, the Naval Marineskos flew over, and began aiding their allies in attacking the enemy droids. They too were working by horde tactics, and tried to systematically sweep the droids from the sky....

The Droids on New Paris were now the ones surronded. The Neo Zetan Forces in the City Center and allied forces on the outskirts and advanceing fast. The Crusader Knights seeing the Talaax warriors grinned. They hear of these warriors and how they didnt need machines to fight. The Knights were more then willing to show their strengh was well. Fayth were known for Brute power. They engaged the Talaax warriors at close range with their bare hands ripping and clawing at them. They had no chance of winning agianst the numbers but to them a death in this battle was glory enough.

The Droids were being pushed back were the push by allied forces was stroungist. they would be broke if this kept up. They had no choice but to big in and hold hopeing for Bevelle to fall. Little did they know that was not going to happen.....


On Bevelle

Bradley smiles " Do not worry i have a feeling he can be trusted now. What use would their be in him rebelling now? And unlike Seymour he is now Yevon Fanatic.

Buis aura gave him some protection but he still got a good chunk of the attacks power as he was sent flying into the air and slamming into a wall. As he stood some blood came from his mouth. He smirks " Your as good as i hoped but now it must end" He begian to gather a mass ammount of energy into his hand untell a large ball of his aura was floating there he then pointed at Yusuke and the attack flew at him. " USE YOUR SPIRIT GUN WE WILL SEE WHO'S POWER IS THE BEST!"

At the Battle In Abh Space

Seymour sat in his command chair as the battle raged on. The Shields on his ships holding for the most part tho some were destroyed. The Fighters and Bombers going back and forth explosions lighting up the sky along with laser and ion fire.The Super Lasers on the Titan fired on 12 diffrent capital ships at a time. Missles and Turbo Lasers also fired from it.l

On the Ground The Spider walkers were destroyed by the walker but as they were Droid Drop ships landed on the walkers back where it could not fire. They begian placeing high explosive bombs on its neck.

The Ground Forces attempted to break threw the walls and encircle them. When that was done they could bombard them with their heavy units.

The Droids on New Paris were now the ones surronded. The Neo Zetan Forces in the City Center and allied forces on the outskirts and advanceing fast.

"They're digging in, sir!" An officer yelled to the captain in space.

"Right. Initiate siege protocals! Let not one droid or resistor live!" The captain ordered.

"Yes sir!"

The Coredian forces then began to send in their siege tanks and walkers in order to try and dislodge the enemy forces from their position.

On Bevelle

Bradley smiles " Do not worry i have a feeling he can be trusted now. What use would their be in him rebelling now? And unlike Seymour he is no Yevon Fanatic.
"All right. I'll trust your judgement on this matter, then." Jacob sighed. But something was not right. But the big question is, why did he suddenly stop fighting and just up and give Bankotsu his power of Emperorship? I have a bad feeling about this...and that tatoo I saw before he closed his eye is linked with it...

Buis aura gave him some protection but he still got a good chunk of the attacks power as he was sent flying into the air and slamming into a wall. As he stood some blood came from his mouth. He smirks " Your as good as i hoped but now it must end" He begian to gather a mass ammount of energy into his hand untell a large ball of his aura was floating there he then pointed at Yusuke and the attack flew at him. " USE YOUR SPIRIT GUN WE WILL SEE WHO'S POWER IS THE BEST!"
"Heh." Yusuke smirked. "Let's not."

He dove and rolled aside to dodge the attack while charging up one of his most potent attacks with his hands. And then when it was done..."Hadoken!"

A comet of blue-white energy shot out straight for Bui. Yusuke has learned much since the last time they met, that's for sure!

BRadley and Bankotsu kept up their dual. Each unable to make any progress. Bradley then saw a possible future. One that tempted him to do somthing that was not at all like him. To keep his idenity safe he would make a deal... He stood back and put his eye patch back on.

" This fight it pointless. I offer you a deal if you have all droids stand down and renounce yevon i will hand over the title of Emperor to you. You would be a stroung leader. However i would stay Fuhrer and have joint controle of the Military to insure you dont have to much power."

Bankotsu smirks thinking it over. He knew he was out numbered and this would be the easyist way to do it. The G.F.F.A could not overrule the decsion of King Bradley. He smirks " You have a deal tho i only have controle of Droids on Bevelle." He pushed a botton on his wrest device. Moments later Droid Fighters landed and shut down. Followed by Droids on the ground. The Crimson Corps at the Temple kept up the fight their radios were offline.

Bankotsu smirks " Its done now your end of the deal."

Bradley hands Bankotsu the royal gem that only the Emperor or King may have.

But this was all meaningless if Yevons forces reached Bevelle and they both knew it.

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

Bradley smiles " Do not worry i have a feeling he can be trusted now. What use would their be in him rebelling now? And unlike Seymour he is now Yevon Fanatic."

The twelve (the three from the other room had joined them) watched this scene with eyebrows quirked in confusion. The commander spoke his odd language, yet through some strange means it was understandable by all in the room.

"Bru chiv? Alek'tavuma hojaktai! Mir kuitan Bradley nicmaj hoja ne! Sovar'kazimak naktai!"

("TRUSTED?! You'll excuse me if my cohorts and I stand by the notion that one should not place trust in one who not fifteen seconds previous had your painful death and resultant usurpation in mind, and what in the blue HELL is this business about giving him LEADERSHIP?! This does not a wise nor strong leader make, and if you are so willing to compromise your own authority on such whims rather than end this traitor's life as SHOULD be standard operating procedure, then we have no choice but to raise questions about your fitness to run the association that bound us to assist you in suppressing this bout of internal strife in the first place! There WILL be reports filed on this situation, and I can only hope that our Coredian allies recognize the implications of your actions here today as well!")

Another soldier piped in with: "Hirkan mizriv?"

("And DUDE... what's up with that tattoo on your eyeball? That's just wierd.")

Jacob raised an eyebrow. "You know, Furher. They have a good point. What did possess you to do that? And that tattoo reminded me of something...familiar. Care to explain it all?"

At the Battle In Abh Space

Seymour sat in his command chair as the battle raged on. The Shields on his ships holding for the most part tho some were destroyed. The Fighters and Bombers going back and forth explosions lighting up the sky along with laser and ion fire.The Super Lasers on the Titan fired on 12 diffrent capital ships at a time. Missles and Turbo Lasers also fired from it.l

On the Ground The Spider walkers were destroyed by the walker but as they were Droid Drop ships landed on the walkers back where it could not fire. They begian placeing high explosive bombs on its neck.

The Ground Forces attempted to break threw the walls and encircle them. When that was done they could bombard them with their heavy units.

"All ships pull back for temporary regrouping. Frontlineships are to pull out of Sord into Normal Space. Once there, begin phase two of our attack plan."

100 Frontlineships exited the Sord and lined up in normal space. A large jum gate opened and swallowed them all. A moment later, a hundred different jump points opened up in the middle of the Yevon fleet. What ever jump gate didn't destroy a ship, a Frontlineship was set on a ramming course to finish the job.

Spoor pointed to the marines that were awaiting orders. "Send them down to planet side and sweep the enemy away. Head Hunter Squadron 101 will escort you down."

A large dropship carrying about 100,000 Abh+ marines and another Imperial Walker launched out of the Sord heading for Lobnoss II. Several Attack Vessels joined up on the ship. "This is Commander Ekuryua of the 101 Head Hunter Squadron, we shall be your escort."

"Thank you commander."

Spoor pointed at the large capital ship that contained Seymour. "That is our prize men. All Guardships are to focus a single mine attack on that one ship. The mines will lead our charge and we shall wash over it like tsunami. All ships prepare to fire. We will use the confusion our Frontlineships are causing as an opening. All ships fire!"

Thousands of mines poured out of Guardships heading for Seymour's ship. Patrolships and Attack Vessels charged back in with the brunt of the attack falling on that one ship. Then the Guardships came in with their high energy attacks taking out any ship that crossed their path.
------------------------------------------------------
Attack Vessels began bombarding Droid dropships and targeted droid bombers. The wall protecting the separate wings of the prison were solid iron and solidly locked down. It would take some heavy bombarding to bring it down. The turrets continued their rain of fire on the attackers.

Tomosoff finally broke through droid lines and linked up with his men. They now had close to 700 men defending the trenches. Heavy laser cannons were placed where the fighting was most intense. There were a series of trenches to fall back on (think WWI). They held their ground stubbornly. Flashes of yellow fire came from the trenches as the men kept up the defense. Dust rose over the battle as men fell and bombs exploded.

The Walkers head was severred and fell to the ground. The other AT-AT targeted the droid dropship and began firing.

The Droids on New Paris were now the ones surronded. The Neo Zetan Forces in the City Center and allied forces on the outskirts and advanceing fast. The Crusader Knights seeing the Talaax warriors grinned. They hear of these warriors and how they didnt need machines to fight. The Knights were more then willing to show their strengh was well. Fayth were known for Brute power. They engaged the Talaax warriors at close range with their bare hands ripping and clawing at them. They had no chance of winning agianst the numbers but to them a death in this battle was glory enough.

Lamia smiled finally seeing something to attack. The fools could not match his pure strength with their own no matter what gene inhancement they undertook.

A scream was muffled as Lamia wripped a Knight's throat out and his own blood gurggled the sound. It bubbled out of his mouth as Lamia calmly pushed him down. He met the next attacker by ripping the man's face off. A blood curdlying scream filled the air as he covered what was left of it. Lamia cocked his right arm back and punched with all his might. His hand went through the man's body as he found the spine and wripped it out. The screaming stopped and the Knight crumpled to the ground unable to support himself. Lamia walked on now covered in blood looking for his next victim.

The Crusader Knights had no chance of victory and virtually no hope of inflicting casualties. Many were cut down by a hail of thud bugs before they'd even gotten close enough to attack hand to hand. The rest found themselves literally cut to pieces by the razor sharp amphistaffs of the warriors. Those that did manage to get in close enough to begin clawing and punching at the warriors found their voduun crab armour impenetrable to such attack and were quickly cut down.

Supreme Commander Vorrik, caught in the middle of the enemy charge ordered his own troops to counter-charge. The warriors charged the Knights, amphistaffs spinning or held high and shouting war cries. The sight was terrifying even for religious fanatics such as the Knights. When battle was joined the warriors hacked their way into the center of the enemy formation, cutting Knight after Knight down with seemingly little effort.

Elsewhere, hordes of Knights were incinerated by fire breathers or atomized by the plasma cannons of rakamats. The fire breathers advanced right through the charging Knights to destroy the droids attempting to dig in. Spraying gelatinous fire in every direction, the fire breathers advanced in the droids determined to destroy them once and for all. Behind them the rakamats advanced slowly, crushing scores of knights and droids caught in the open under their massive steps. Plasma cannons blazing, the rakamats advanced steadily until they were virtually on top of the fortified droids. In an unexpected move, several rakamats turned their dovin basal shields directly into the droid fortifications, sucking whole sections of their line into artificial blackholes.

Behind the "vehicles" advanced the hordes of Chazrach, mindlessly advancing on the fortified enemy. Some were caught up in the fighting with the Knights, but most advanced quickly and mercilessly on the droids. They quickly moved to assault the droid positions head on once the vehicles had pounded them for several minutes.

Jacob raised an eyebrow. "You know, Furher. They have a good point. What did possess you to do that? And that tattoo reminded me of something...familiar. Care to explain it all?"

The same soldier continued:

"Nallak zvai'kanmiz. Kuucher menzok'ifir ui."

("That tattoo is some form of spellcasting conjuration or enchantment circle, I know that much. A guy doesn't put that kind of thing in that kind of spot purely for aesthetic reasons alone, especially not if he covers it up with an eyepatch, that's for damn sure.")

New Paris-

Meanwhile, the information on the condition of the droid armies was relayed to Torusumi, who then replied, "Move in. Choke them off, cut them off and kill every one. Death to the putsch!"

The Naval Infantry complied willingly. Joining the Coredians, they tightened their noose, crying, "Stalin's Quarter!" Continued air attacks from the Seminoles and Grants occured on the droid armies, and orbital strikes from the Potemkin and the Navy in orbit's orbital guns joined the fray, targeting the droids inside. Meanwhile, the Naval Mobile Suits and infantry redoubled their assault on the dug-in droids.

Bradley was fast to react " Yes it is a Alchemy symbol. Long ago during the Nova Zeta and Neo Zetan War i was injured badly. No one thought i would live. But a alchemist came apone and used a strange form of Alchemy i have not seen since. The Symbol Bonds the flesh she healed. I keep it hidden for a good reasion. But it has given me a strange power to at times see a persions future. Not offten mind you but during my fight with Bankotsu i saw his future. He will in time become a good Emperor and his line will be stroung enough to carry on long after he and i are gone. I will still have controle of the military. He will just take the title of Emperor which no one has held since Makuro. I was unable to take the title to since my parents were not born in Neo Zeta. So i made a new title. This will calm many who feel we need a Emperor agian. Since he was recloned by Seymour by our law that makes Seymour his father and there for able to become Emperor."

OOC: Reply to the other post later.

"VECH! Kuvek'makitel Iachtservaiya hojacte!"

("HORSESHIT! This man killed several hundred million Neo Zetan innocents for nothing more than profit. Despite the fact we were at war with you back then we did not wish that fate upon you, and given the choice we would have put 'The Seven' down without hesitation for such pointless death. We don't care if you experience visions or drug-related hallucinations! You're putting a goddamn genocidal maniac into the top seat of your nation for no reason better than saying a little bird told you to! Calm people?! This will drive them into an uproar. MASS MURDERER NAMED EMPEROR. Oh yeah, that's GREAT press.")

"Ifriin'kalek."

("I may not know my arcane symbols as well as the masters, but I know for DAMN sure there's no restoration magic in that tattoo.")

Bradley laughs " Do you think i am not? During the Nova Zetan and Neo Zetan wars we destroyed worlds. That nation now makes up 61% of Neo Zetas Population. Our people for better or worse dont think like that. They want true warriors to lead them. Their past as a mass murderer is meaningless to them as long as he leads the nation to greatness."

A single personal transport shuttle launched from one of the orbital platforms. The Shuttle was also escorted by three Interceptor Class Fighters.

"Wonderful! You may dock on our holiest landing bay! Brother, open the doors!"

The small doors to the freighters docking bay started to open, just big enough for the shuttle.

"I will meet you there personally, priests of the true gods!"

"Hoju'krectam Bankotsu Shuvok!"

("Bankotsu isn't a warrior! He killed millions of CHILDREN, innocent children, eating their very souls for whatever twisted purpose such an action entails! If you think that makes him some form of great warrior, you're as much a bloody loon as he is!")

The Shuttle heads to landing bay. The Priest looks at his staff and his book of true Origin.

He wondered how this was going to go down. His ocutopus like head would be unsettling for most human species. Koshlin Mizar wondered if he should use one of the holo emiters to make himself look less unsettling to his possiable converts.

Then it clicked in Jacob's mind. Why the tattoo seemed so familiar...when Bradley spoke of alchemy...the tattoo was the Ouroboros, symbol of rebirth.

Fuhrer Bradley was a Homunculus.

A failed attempt at human ressurrection through alchemy...a human with no soul. Jacob ran through the definition with his mind. "So. You tried to hide it, Fuhrer. But you forgot one thing. I am an alchemist. I know who you are now...Homunculus..."

" That is behind me i served my master as he wished as a loyal man would do" Bankotsu said " Besides its not like i enjoyed it all that much."

The M'Lekk'Torr didn't listen. The tone of Jacob's comment put them instantly on edge, and they had already reverted to combat stances with their hands on the hilts of their respective VoidSwords.

I am an alchemist. I know who you are now...Homunculus..." " Very good " Bradley said "But that really dosnt matter. Many people dont bealive in souls. I died fighting in the war and the strange girl brought me back. Since then i have kept serving Neo Zeta. The only diffrence between me and you is you say i have no soul. But people like Sith and others who commite mass murders as you put it do. Maybe its best not to have one."

The only diffrence between me and you is you say i have no soul. But people like Sith and others who commite mass murders as you put it do. Maybe its best not to have one."
"The soul is the one thing that separates us from the likes of you. They say Homunculi are sociopaths." Jacob narrowed his eyes, pacing around Bradley like a predator. "The fact that you allow a mass-murderer like Bankotsu to go unpunished speaks of your own character...Fuhrer."

He rested a hand on his lightsaber, ready to draw it. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you where you stand and find a more competent person to lead Neo Zeta. Either that, or I leave here and now and bring up your questionable ability to rule before the GFFA and let my grandfather sort things out. As they say, choose your poison."

The tension rose...

" Becuase i have commited no crimes. I have done no wroung. I could see the headlines now. Jacob kills Neo Zetan Leaders saying he had no soul. Really you would be the same as Yevon. "

Bradley kept his eye fixed on Jacob.

" Becuase i have commited no crimes. I have done no wroung. I could see the headlines now. Jacob kills Neo Zetan Leaders saying he had no soul. Really you would be the same as Yevon. "

Bradley kept his eye fixed on Jacob.
"You, of course, have a point there." Jacob smiled. "But what of Bankotsu? He has committed numerous crimes...even if you didn't, you would find yourself associated with them."

" As i remember he has commited no crimes agianst you. And the crimes he commited on us took place befor the founding of the G.F.F.A so there for i have the power to deal with it. He is now Emperor of Neo Zeta. That is the way of things. I have seen into the future and no this is the best decsion for Neo Zeta. I do not expect you to understand. I ask however you leave Neo Zetan matters to Neo Zeta." Bradley says coldly

The Psion finally entered the chamber out of the situation room, speaking as he approached.

"How about this headline: 'Emperor-Fuhrer Bradley promotes known mass-murderer to emperorship on hunch.' Do you really think that will not have as much of an effect on the rest of the alliance as it stands? That you promote traitors and murderers to positions of power? You REWARD them, rather than punish them?

"We will call your 'vision' for what it is: Blatant raving insanity. And allowing your retention of power will be a significant damper to the maintenance of cohesion between our nations, the very thing that WE are charged to protect."

(OOC: Ah, crap. After missing so much in this thread, (Other RPs, Life, etc.) is there anywhere I can jump in?

Actually, I'm a bit lost. What's going on? O_o .)

(OOC: Ah, crap. After missing so much in this thread, (Other RPs, Life, etc.) is there anywhere I can jump in?

Actually, I'm a bit lost. What's going on? O_o .)

OOC: Well, the Naval Infantry and the Coredians and the Talaaxians are smashing Yevonese forces on New Paris. And there's an epic duel going on. Besides that, that's it.

BTW, I swear I made posts in our respective threads.

Bradley turns " Neo Zetas leadership is none of the alliences concern. By the consititution the G.F.F.A has no right or power over how another nation is led or who leads it."

"You are the leader of this alliance, Fuhrer. Whether or not you believe it's best for Neo Zeta, the fact that you are allowing Bankotsu the emperorship will not bode well for the rest of the Federation." Jacob said, just as coldly. "Let it be known, that if you allow a mass murderer to lead your nation, I will have the Patriarch bring it up with the Council. And then we'll petition for a vote of no-confidence in the alliance. You have been given several chances to recant this foolishness. This is your last one."

Jacob has thrown down the gauntlet.

"I dont not lead this allience. Admiral Rei leads the allience. I am Neo Zetas Voice in the allience as long as she serves as leader."

"Mere semantics." Jacob spat. "Admiral Rei is one of your people. Therefore, Neo Zeta leads the Federation. Now are you going to recant this or not?"

" Bankotsu will be Emperor. Be warned if you kill him you will have to kill me to. And in doing so you doom Neo Zeta to years and years of civil war. Yevon would escape destruction. The last time somthing like that happened the war lasted 60 years and utterly destroyed Neo Zeta." Bradley said

Jacob sighed, angry and disappointed. "Very well. In the interests of preserving peace within our ally I'll defer this for the moment. But just so you know, I'm still going to go through with the diplomatic threat."

"Bankotsu will be Emperor. Be warned if you kill him you will have to kill me to. And in doing so you doom Neo Zeta to years and years of civil war. Yevon would escape destruction. The last time somthing like that happened the war lasted 60 years and utterly destroyed Neo Zeta." Bradley said

"More so than now?" The Psion replied. "It would seem to objective observers that you are plagued by that type of conflict even now. Your people seems to be plagued with a surprisingly large number of very stubborn and very incompetent bullies who prey upon the innocent in the clumsy and heavy handed pursuit of personal power. Innocents that died today because of Bankotsu himself and this 'Yevon' fellow. Were we not close allies with the Coredians, we would have simply beheaded both of you and let the aspirants to the throne engage in one titanic televised clash in which each warlord and a hundred of his or her best followers attempt to be the last alive. A test not only of combat prowess but of inherent cunning. It would have been glorious indeed, you dimwitted thug. And maybe your successor would actually have some iota of sense.

"As it stands, we hold our friendship with the Coredians too close to let it fray over how we should deal with your incompetence. Know now that their motion for a vote of no-confidence is already seconded. We go now to put 'Yevon' to the torch. Goodbye, and hopefully, good riddance."

And with that, all thirteen Godulans vanished from the room. A peal of thunder rattled the room entirely as the five Makos overhead, their weapons targeted directly on Bankotsu, probability iterated into high orbit, where the fleet entire proceeded to vanish from the system completely.

A single voice, that of Baron Skye, drifted into Jacob's mind as the fleet departed for Abh space:

And if it fails? What then?

Jacob sighed again, glaring at the Fuhrer. We watch.

He turned around to leave the room. We wait.

As he walked down the hallway to the outside, he answered one more time before heading to the Temple. We move when the time is right.

Far be it for me to point out that to all appearances THAT was the right time. The nutter has no reason to be in that level of power at all. You know how we are about genocide, Jacob. The troops are angry at the lack of a decisive response, and it is everything I can do to allay their rage.

They had to watch as an entire nation was wiped out to the last man, woman, and child, Jacob; unable to stop the tide as gas and bomb tore cities asunder and ended lives by the millions. This is a VERY sensitive issue for them, and I cannot hold them forever.

Still, as long as I can maintain composure, you will have our support in the vote, and the move.

Yeah. I suppose so. Then Jacob chuckled bitterly and shook his head. One of those fateful decisions that change the course of history. If this goes badly, it's on my shoulders. I know that much.

Seymour smile as he pointed forword. " Aim all super lasers save one at the oncomeing attack. Have the other hit the Abh forces trying to land on the world."

With that the combined power of 11 super lasers fired on the oncomeing mines and ships rushing Seymours ship. The 12th fireing on the abh ship trying to bring reinforcements.

The Fleet lost 30 ships from the Abh suprise attack with the jump gates. The others engaged engians and tractors beams to try and keep enemy ships from ramming them as fighters swarmed them like ants would their prey.

On the ground Spider Walkers and Hellfire Droids went right for the trenchs fireing their weapons almost nonestop. Droids rushed the trenchs as well some selfdestructing sending deadly metal projectiles everywhere. The Droid Drop ships took loses but engaged their engians to max ramming the nearist populated buildings.

The battle looked grim for both sides. But at long last Neo Zetas Fleets were getting communcations back.

Four Ships exited out of hyperspace near the worlds moon.

Yevon forces Today you meet your end! I Admiral Sensui will see to that my self.

The ship held three Republic Class Stardestroyers and One Eclipse. Their mission to take Seymours Command Ship for Neo Zeta at all cost.

At Neo Paris things were fairing much better for allied forces. The Droids at their thinist ranks only were 200 yards deep. 200 yards that seprated pinned down Neo Zetan forces from their allies.

But this would be the deadlist part of the battle. The Droids begian useing Bio Weapons. One known as the quickning. A Virus that as of yet had no known cure and was assured death in two months for humanoids. The begian to pump it into the air hopeing to assure death for the planet. Enough would be let into the air to kill everyone on the world who was not protected.

Neo Zetan forces begian a push to break the droid lines and link up with their allies as they charged with all they had. Blaster rifles fireing at any damn peice of metal that moved. EMP weapons were being deployed as well. The Droid Army on New Paris was on the brink.

The reroute through hyperspace to New Paris had taken much longer than expected. ACE-Recon had shown that the battle was nearly won. A pity, though still green and young, every crew member still thirsted for battle.

Nearly over or not, the fight was still on, and the tension onboard the flagship Sal'ir still ran high.

On the bridge, the Tac officer announced, "Coming up in three minutes ma'am."

Commander Lui'ran looked up from her chair and glanced at the fleet monitor.
With a quick glance, and a sigh she began preparations. "Red Alert. All hands to battle stations. Tac."

"Yes, Ma'am."

"Charge up Axial guns, and order the strike cruisers to make a stand off strike against the remaining Yevons. At drop out, send the Shades off, and get the Line ships moving, AP Tirep-four."

The fleet began to fan out, and jumped to their assigned positions around the remaining Yevon forces as the Attack plan Tirep-four required.

Lui'ran sent out a message to the other allied fleets in the system. "This is Commander Lui'ran of the Eshirian Fleet. We can see the battle's just about over, but, is there anything we can do?"

At Neo Paris things were fairing much better for allied forces. The Droids at their thinist ranks only were 200 yards deep. 200 yards that seprated pinned down Neo Zetan forces from their allies.
"We've got a breach!" Soldiers yelled as droid lines thinned out at one portion of the battle.

"I want mechanized divisions to from a spearhead and smash through those breaches, link up with the Neo Zetan forces, then finish off the metalheads!" The commander on the ground ordered.

"Yes sir!" The soldiers belted.

But this would be the deadlist part of the battle. The Droids begian useing Bio Weapons. One known as the quickning. A Virus that as of yet had no known cure and was assured death in two months for humanoids. The begian to pump it into the air hopeing to assure death for the planet. Enough would be let into the air to kill everyone on the world who was not protected.
But of course, exposed infantry were all protected by nuclear-bio-chemo units within their combat suits so less than one percent would die from the disease. Unfortunately, the civilians couldn't say the same so the army would have to be extremely swift in taking out the bioweapons emplacements.

Neo Zetan forces begian a push to break the droid lines and link up with their allies as they charged with all they had. Blaster rifles fireing at any damn peice of metal that moved. EMP weapons were being deployed as well. The Droid Army on New Paris was on the brink.
And so, the spearhead of infantry and mechanized units (see above) stormed through the weak link in the droid lines in order to link up with the Neo Zetan forces and then divide and conquer the damned bucket of bolts once and for all...

OOC: Oh, yes. One more thing. *cough*Bui vs Yusuke with Jacen and Jacob coming soon to kick Bui's ass*cough*

Lui'ran sent out a message to the other allied fleets in the system. "This is Commander Lui'ran of the Eshirian Fleet. We can see the battle's just about over, but, is there anything we can do?"
"Yes. Alert GFFA Defense Command (Ie: Godular) that there's biologicals that's just been detected in the area and will require some clean up after the battle. Otherwise, just get a mop and start cleaning up the area." The Captain of the Tygis answered wryly.

Lui'ran was a bit taken back by captain's tone, though she chose to ignore it. {This is what you get when you come late to a fight. We get what we deserve... Or maybe he's just referring to the inferior Yevons we're going up against and how easy it was to beat them... In anycase...} She thought.

"Affirmative." She replied, "Command's already got the message."

She shut off the com, and began issuing orders. "Alright, you all heard it. Fire off the Siege cannons, and move up the fleet. Recall the Shades, and just charge these bastards."

"Yes ma'am!"

The fleet began to move up, simply charging the last enemy forces in the area. The Colossus Strike Cruisers that had entered the area earlier began to fire pin-point strikes against the struggling enemy forces on the ground, systematically wiping out pockets of resistance.

The Godulan fleet over New Paris, focusing primarily on the battle overhead and now somewhat free to make orbital bombardments once again, turned fully towards the planet below and began to charge up the Protium Arcs.

Alarms throughout the fleet began ringing as spectrographs registered biological alert and comms flew like tracer fire.

The commander of the fleet, watching as the first colossal salvos of Protium Arc Disintegrators rained down upon the enemy droid forces, knew that the disintegrators would be only moderately effective at removing the contagion, but full erasure would require somewhat more drastic measures.

"What's the status on the Heighliners?"

"One should be arriving in a few seconds. The other is accompanying the Zetan defense battlefleet into Abh space to remove Yevonite forces there, and the second is scouting Zetan space in packs, engaging any enemy forces they run across."

"Is the incoming heighliner properly equipped?"

"Confirming payload... we're getting Death Darts and the Terraformer."

"Rockin', soon as it enters the system initiate total dispersal of cargo."

"Warmaster, Commander Vorrik reports the usage of biological weapons against allied forces. Our forces have donned gnulliths to protect them but many allied citizens will die..."

"Indeed... This, young subaltern, is why we always bring along worldforming supplies on our expeditions. Our own microbes will quickly and efficiently deal with this threat in only a matter of days. However, contact Neo Zetan authorities. Request permission to deploy some of our own biological servants onto the planet to eliminate this bio-weapon..."

Neo Paris

Talaaxian forces, rakamats, fire breathers, Chazrach and Yuuzhan Vong alike, continued to press their attack into the droid forces along a 4 kilometer front. Frontal assaults, though costly for the Chazrach leading them, also weakened the enemy. From a short distance away rakamats kept up a constant stream of plasma fire, blasting gaping holes in the droid formations. Closer in, fire breathers spewed their gelatinous flame into the droids, bringing fairly quick incineration to all those caught up in the fire.
