The Raleigh police officer took out a scrap of paper and drew out the local streets.
"From here, go down two blocks, than turn left for three blocks, and it's the second building on the right. Big sign out front."

After an uneasy night on the side of the road they awoke to a thinner crowd of refugees. The fires still blazed and gunfire could be heard, they were getting closer.
"Natalie, wake up" Jonas said and poked her in the shoulder. They got up and began to walk. A mile down the turnpike they heard screams coming up from behind and the reving of a truck. Someone got hold of a machine gun and mounted it on a pickup truck. They sped past, firing bursts into the crowd. Jonas grabbed Natalie and threw her down the side of a small hill and he followed as well. The shots hit the dirt where he stood only seconds later. They tumbled down the hill and landed at the edge of a wooded area. Natalie got up
"What did you do that for?" she asked, brushing the leaves and dirt of her.
"To save your life" he replied, his left arm hurt a bit but he shrugged it off. They determined it was too dangerous on the roads now so they treked through the woods. After a few miles they stopped.
"Look, it's a shed" he told her "Maybe there's someone there"
"Yeah, with a shotgun to greet us" she replied
"Try to optimistic for once"
"I haven't been optimistic about anything for a long time." They walked towrads it anyways.
"Hello! Is anyone there?" Jonas called out, waiting for a reply.
Two Order of the Hawk Members had made it into the southern states.
"Emily it looks like the Civil War all over again."
"I didn't realize you we're there Kamen."
"Very funny. Let's see what we can find."
Both we're armed, and well protected. Their mission was to restore democracy to the U.S. as had always been one of the Haw's Objectives. They we're all scatterd around the country to help the people get to safty, help freedom fighters, if need take prisoners.

After the attack on Japan, the Chinese Empire proved itself against the forces of Japan. The country now lies in ruins.... Tokyo has been demolished, the people are being chased down to the last opposer, and the last of Japan's "Royal Family" has been hunted down and slaughtered like the animals the United States made them so long ago. Japan is now a new province of the empire and now gives the Asian countries second thoughts before challenging the greatness of His Imperial Majesty's grand military might. The kingdoms of Thailand and Nepal have already now surrendered themselves to China while Burma continues to resist annexation. Their propaganda machine has hold of the people and the government stubbornly continues to believe it can win a war with China. At the same time, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Pakistan have given themselves unnecessary pressure by allying themselves with Burma against the Chinese expansion. India, Sri Lanka, The Philippines Malaysia, Singapore, Bangladesh, and Bhutan are still in debate. It is indeed a conflict that need not happen, but it is merely the last resort to bring more people into the greatest empire on earth.
Current Status:
The economy is now booming, the military is building stronger and more powerful weapons to face the world. The mere cult formed seven months ago has now grown into a true religion where people now worship the emperor as a god. It is now known by the name of Zhaobaiism.

"Yes sir." George walked out and back to his truck. This town was pretty quiet. Not as much as Florida. Getting into the truck he drove it and sold it. He wouldn't need that anymore. Also he dumped the sniper rifle in the garbage. The money he got from selling the truck he spent it on a place to sleep. During the night he slept sliently. Up in the morning he made a bank account and put the rest of the money inside of it. Then he went back to the building. Going up to a man he said. "I came here yesterday and filled out the papers. So where do I find out where I get trained for the army?"

Jonas and Natalie continued through the woods. natalie was getting tired so they decided to take a break. The gunshots had fadded away. natalie was a tough spitfire but the mental strain and lack of food was starting to takes its' toll. Jonas as well. Even though he was an advent camper and outdoorsman. he took a sip of water from the canteen. A twig snapped and he and Natalie hit the dirt.
"What's wrong?" she asked, silently
"I don't know" Jonas said "maybe nothing" He thought of getting out his gun, when he reached around to get it he discovered it was missing. He could've lost it back at the house or down the hill but it was gone! All they could do was wait and see.

Maria nearly screamed as they could hear the gun fire from miles away.
"Mom, what's going on? I think they're getting closer.."
For a 10 year old, and growing up so fast Maria was smart;
"Look," Rebecca said as David held back tears, "We have to stay here for now; alright? Now, lets just sit here and be quiet."
However when they heard the footsteps close to the shack, and the call of a man's voice Rebecca gasped.
"Stay here," she whispered to the kids as she grabbed her knife and stepped outside.
"Who's there?"
Rebecca yelled out as she stood holding the knife up, the sunlight gleeming on it's blade. She knew that if the person had a gun she'd be dead anyway, however she had no other weapon.

"Them damn Cubans..." Salvator muttered. "Got in some trouble with the US government before the CSA took over. They had me scheduled for some trial or something, had me in a Raleigh prison. How a Montogmery, Alabama man killed someone in Carolina, I don't know. They thought they did. But anyway, when the CSA guys came in, they freed up the jails, and I got out. Didn't have nowhere to go, so I decided to join the army."

Admiral diLorenzo had put the entire Texican navy on high alert. Between official reports from Recon and rumor, it was apparent that foreign hostiles had sailed all the way down the Central American coast, steamed single-file through the Panama Canal, and were headed to the Gulf of Mexico.
President Phillips had ordered one full CBG to the Mexican city of Cancun and another to the Cuban port of Cape San Antonio. In addition, he deployed two missile ships to the Isla de la Juventud off the coast of Cuba. The plan was to blockade the Yucatan Channel, which was the southern entrance to the Gulf. He had advised President Young to send ships to the seas north of Cuba to head off any attempt by the foreign ships to circumvent the Texican blockade.
Now, diLorenzo thought, we'll see what happens.
He awoke in a nice bed. the major looked at him and said "ahh so your awake." john looked around and noticed his stuff was gone. "weres my equipment?" the major pointed to a coat hanger on the wall.

Speak of the House Gene Lockwood angrily pounded his fist upon the podium.
"We cannot stand by idly as our home country falls apart!"
"Mr. Lockwood," started Mrs. Bell, Congresswoman from Novus York. "The founders of our country specifically left the United States of America after forseeing this event. You are the most ardent supporter of the non-intervention policies that have kept Novus-America's international standing relatively high and the public content. Why risk some our very foundations now?"
"Because, Congresswoman Bell, we are all Americans. That sentinment has never changed, even when Novus-America was founded. Though we have a different number of states, we still fly the same flag. Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and all the other fine men who fought in the American Revolution are still considered to be our Founding Fathers. And may I remind this body that it was the corrupt government that forced our founders to flee, a government that has now all but collapsed. The people there are our countrymen. We most go now to restore the American Republic as our Founding Fathers intended it! A declaration of war must be made upon the seperatists and foreign invaders that would seek to drive our fellow Americans under their yoke! Now, and not a minute later!"
A chorus of applause swept through the House of Representatives. Behind the Speaker was President Maxwell. He took out his cellphone and dialed one of his aides.
"Sherry, get me in touch with the Secretary of War. I need to know what allies we might have in the upcoming war."
Her reply was almost lost in the sea of continued clapping, but the President heard it. The future was murky, but, God willing, the fog would part, giving way to a restored United States of America.

General Scoggins had given the Missouran commander 20 minutes to either withdraw his forces from Joplin or suffer the consequences of resisting ROT. The 20 minutes were up 10 seconds ago, and no response from the Missourans. They were outnumbered 6 to 1, but they were a bunch of scrappy fighters. It wouldn't make any difference. One way or another the Republic of Texas would be in control of Joplin by sundown.
Scoggins picked up his mic. "OK, gentlemen, let's get this show on the road. All units, commence attack on MDF units in Joplin and environs."
Within minutes, thick plumes of smoke were rising into the afternoon sky. MDF tanks, trucks, and ammo dumps/army installations were being blown out of existence. They had no airforce in the area, and so they were at the mercy of the FA/18 Hornets of the Texicans. The AG missiles had a devastating effect on the halted MDFs. The Texicans suffered minimal losses: one MBT and 12 marines disabled, a Missouran ack-ack gun scored a lucky hit on a Hornet, which limped back to its base.
Within 6 hours, over 80% of the MDF was gone. The commander of the MDF radioed Scoggins. " Hey, y'all, this is Commander Stoney Jackson of the Missouri Defense Forces. I do believe we done had enough. We're pulling back 20 miles. Y'all enjoy Joplin. We'll see y'all agin some other time."
Scoggins sent his victorious troops into Joplin, and then informed the President. It was a good days work.

The C.S.A. had returned, occupying most of its former lands, though they were held up around the Virgina-Maryland borders by conflicts with the Restorationist forces. Texas had declared soverignity, taking much of the surrounding lands. The Midwest was unoccupied, for the moment. Admiral Creed suspected that the U.S. President had retreated to Peterson Airforce Base, better known in pop-culture as Chyenne Mountain.
Forgotten Hawaii was under U.S.N-A. control, giving their ships Pearl Harbor as a waypoint for supplies. Oil was no longer a concern of theirs, given their perfection of grain alcohol as a fuel source and lubricant. However, the actions of China and Russia concerned the government deeply, as well as the chemical missile strike on Canada. The Star Wars Defense Initiative was activated, shielding mainland Novus-America from any possible attacks, though the expeditionary force was vunerable.
The communications board came alive as a message was broadcast to the continental U.S. Curious, Admiral Creed read it.
To: The Restoration Alliance (forces of Canada, Kanami, and Aqu Anu)
From: President Maxwell, United States of Novus-America
Re: Military support and alliance entry
Greetings to all of the Restoration Alliance (forgive me if the name does not exist, but I felt it quite fitting, and it makes mass addressing much easier). I am President John Maxwell of the United States of Novus-America. I would not be surprised if you are unaware of my nation's existance, but we have followed strictly isolationist policies for a great long time. In fact, this is the first time our reach has been extended anywhere beyond our own borders. But I digress...
Our home country, the United States, has fallen. The hows and whys are not important right now. What is, however, is the proper restoration of elected officials and a stabilised economy with a properly armed military force capable of waging war. To such ends, I am asking that Novus-America aid your cause. A expeditionary force is en route to the North American west coast region, having established Hawaii under our control. This force would've been sent much sooner, but we needed time to properly raise a military and the arms required to wage war. It would be beneficial to the American people that we join hands in restoration of the Union.
Knowing of the threat Russia poses to North America, we are ready to send a fleet to the Bering Strait. Likewise, we are certain that China will have something to say in due time, and steps must be taken to check their expansion.
Please, in the name of God, do not bat away our hand. Now is the time for cooperation in this action, not bickering over details (although, I must insist that Alaska be returned to the United States at the war's conclusion.

After the ceasefire with Canada, Combat84 forces retreated to our home area, the cities of Trenton, Camden, and Philadelphia. We've regrouped. At our height, we had some five thousand soldiers. The war with Canada and Toopoxia has reduced our numbers to two thousand. We've covertly moved half of the group (1st Army, under Kennedy) to NYC, near Toopoxia headquarters. The other half is ready to strike against the Toopoxia locations in the North East countryside.
We will soon strike, with or without the help of Spitzer or Canada.

Emperor Lucas I sat in his throne in the Grand Hall in Rome. He was mourning the death of his wife, Empress Svetlana but he had to continue his career. As he was talking to the members of the Grand Hall, the issue of America's collapse was brought up. ''It seems America has fallen into pieces.'' a minister said. ''Well, I guess America is not so strong after all.'' another minister said. The Prime Minister, Lucas Notaras said ''We will enter the conflict but remain neutral. I am organizing a operation to America, headed by Demetrios Askiates. Askiates will go to America and sort out things for the interests of our nation and its people.'' Lucas signed a act and gave it to the Emperor. The Emperor gave it, his Imperial Accent and it was placed into law.
Demetrios Askiates was a military commander, known for his achievements. He was resting in his mansion, reading a story to his daughter when the news of the American conflicts reached him. ''America falls into pieces and they want me to lead our operation?'' Demetrios said. He finished reading the story to his daughter and then got dressed in military attire. He called his family together and said ''I will be leaving for America. Pray for me to Our Lord that He shall grant me safety.'' Demetrios traveled to the docks and boarded a ship, heading for America.
The ships of Roman Greece landed in the city of Miami. Demetrios wanted to see who was running Miami and he wanted to see what ways his nation could assist in America's rebuilding.

General Peter Laakaso, Supereme Commander for the N-A.E.F., gazed upon the streets of San Fransico. Novus-America's entrance in the Restoration Alliance was welcomed, as well as the fleet in the Bering Strait. Russia raised some alarams over its presence, put they quieted down when it became obvious that the fleet wasn't launching an attack. Still, they remained cautious.
Novus-America's presence on American soil was met with mixed reactions. To the far majority, they were welcomed as countrymen (always preferred over foreigners, even if they were very friendly) and bringers of stability. However, there was a small, yet vocal, portion that renoucned the Novus-Americans as traitors. General Laakaso had a run in with one, a middle-aged man, who cursed him out as a, "right-winger" and left. At that, the general frowned. Novus-America held strictly to many the same principles as the Libertarian Party does, and since they are perceived as being part of the right, the very Liberal southern Californians were only expected as such.
Shaking the thoughts out of his mind, General Laakaso walked over to his command room. His staff noted his presence and continued with their assignments. The general looked over the map pinned upon the wall.
Alliance forces were engaged on several fronts, the most predomint one being in the north, along the Canadian/New York border area. The N.E.A. was stubbornly refusing cooperation with the Alliance, though Novus-America's presence drew support from the Libertarians in the area, particularly New Hampshire. However, the general dismissed any thought of them secceeding from the N.E.A. and joining the Alliance; their neighbors would see to them quickly should that happen.
That which drew General Laakaso's attention the most was the actions of the U-A.E.F. against the Republic of Texas. To their credit, the Texans were putting up a stubborn fight, and little progress had been made yet there. Novus-American troops had no desert combat training as none existed in their country. However, the pan-handle of Oklahoma was under Alliance control, as well as RoT territory near the Rockies, so he could not say they were making no progress.
The general sighed. Blood would be the currency paid in for the United State's restoration.

Eleanor, Putnam County, West Virginia, Former USA
"It would appear that not everyone in what used to be the USA shares our view of liberty and freedom. Every state in the East is under one government or another except this one. It is as though nothing has changed. One government was replaced by another. We are sandwiched between a CSA, a New England alliance, the NRA, and Canadians. It's a sad time now, and it will be but days until our status as a buffer zone will be challenged.
We will perservere, though. Nobody said anarchy was gonna be easy!."
Erwin Karlburg didn't woo the crowd that well. They collectively nodded and milled around as a few other people walked up to him.
"It was a good try, Erwin. The odds aren't any good for us, though. What good will fourty-six of us do anyway?"
"I don't know, but we should probably block the main roads in. If you still got those deuce-and-a-half trucks, maybe we ought to take some stuff from the armory around here."
Putnam County had been abandoned long ago. It was one of the more prosperous counties in an otherwise poor state. It had a coal power plant, many chemical plants, a dam, and even an Toyota parts factory. It was no surprise, then, that people left for greener pastures. Charleston, the capital of West Virginia, in bordering Kanawha County was a chaotic mess. What had been a city with a gang problem became a large slum where only the gangsters remained. West Virginia had coal, natural gas, and a few oil reserves, but the facilities for them had been left in disrepair after the general turmoil.
Karlburg's anarchist group was a mixed bunch who had no shortage of small arms weaponry and ammunition. The problem, of course, was the fact that they had to scavenge for anything else. Everyone carried a tube around for siphoning gas out of abandoned cars and various canteens and cups to carry the fuel. They didn't so much look like a military as they did a gang.
The 'anarchists' blocked off the primary roads into Putnam County with tires, desks, and timber. They also nailed signs up. These signs read 'ANCAPISTAN'. None of the 'anarchists' really thought much about politics, it was always Karlburg that did that for them. He wasn't very good at talking about the now but he was much better at making seemingly extreme positions seem less extreme.

Sorry for the delay...
When they found the body, the police knew something was up. After all, the man had a laptop and a Palm Pilot in his possession; clearly, this wasn't your everyday corpse. Of course, with the way events had unfolded lately, maybe it wasn't too much of a leap for a man who had obviously been wealthy - or at least upper-middle class - to end up dead on the streets of Baltimore.
The cops who found the body checked it carefully for some sort of ID; they found a wallet with a $20 bill, which one pocketed, a long-since-expired library card, a receipt, an old (and by now inedible) piece of candy, and a driver's license with the name "Trevor Jones" on it. They now had a name to give the body, and since it wasn't anyone they knew to be important, they relaxed.
The cops called in the death, then drove back to the station, carrying the deceased's personal effects with them. After the federal government collapsed and took the ordinary civic order with it, with murder rates skyrocketing, the Baltimore PD had begun to limit the number of cases it would investigate to cop-killings and attacks on prominent individuals (the mayor, crime kingpins, and VIPs). This "Trevor Jones," whoever he was, fit neither of those categories. His family, if it even existed, would probably not ever be able to bury his body. But such was life in the sudden time of troubles that had engulfed America...

That which drew General Laakaso's attention the most was the actions of the U-A.E.F. against the Republic of Texas. To their credit, the Texans were putting up a stubborn fight, and little progress had been made yet there. Novus-American troops had no desert combat training as none existed in their country. However, the pan-handle of Oklahoma was under Alliance control, as well as RoT territory near the Rockies, so he could not say they were making no progress.
The general sighed. Blood would be the currency paid in for the United State's restoration.
The N-A.E.F. forces were inching their way south in the face of fierce opposition from the Texicans. The northwest section of what was once Oklahoma was a dead zone. Bodies, both human and mechanical, were strewn across the landscape. Fires raged everywhere, sending vast clouds of black smoke skyward. If there had been anyone to take a tally, it waould have been apparent that both sides had taken severe losses.
President Phillips had ordered the reinforcement of Amarillo. Three squadrons of fighter jets were based there, as were a division of armor. Texican Marines, Rangers, and regular Army were going to put up one hell of a fight if the NAEF came their way.
NAEF was apparently trying to reassemble the splintered USA. Phillips was not opposed to the idea, but pitting American against American was not the answer. And what Phillips really didn't like were the foreigners that the NAEF were using in the south.
Phillips turned to his secretary. " Miss Jones, please get a message to however the hell is in charge of the NAEF requesting a conference of some kind. Apparently, they are ignorant of American history. The last time Americans fought Americans it was a disaster. We must try and head off a repeat of what happened back then."
"Yes sir. I'l get right on it."

General Laakaso was in his study, confering with fellow leaders of the Restoration Alliance, when his personal aide, Major Jack Helmut, walked through the doorway.
"Yes, Major?" Major Helmut leaned in close so that only the general could hear.
"General, I have a representative of the Republic of Texas on the phone. He wishes to speak with you, sir, in private."
"Thank you, Major. I'll take the message in my office," General Laakaso replied, nodding his head. The major nodded in return and walked back out the door. General Laakaso excused himself from his peers as he retreated into his office, locking the door behind him.
"This is General Laakaso, Supreme Commander of the Novus-American Expeditionairy Force. With whom am I speaking?" he asked, now seated behind his desk with the receiver held firmly against his head.
"General, my name is Miss Heather Jones, secretary for President Phillips of the Republic of Texas."
"How can I help you, Ms. Jones?"
"The president wants to arrange a meeting with you, though he refuses to do so in any territory held by yourself or your allies."
General Laakaso sat back a moment, his mouth slightly ajar. Were the Texans offering their surrender? No, he thought. They were fighting too fiercely for that option. A cease-fire was out of the question, giving that the only other force boardering them was the C.S.A., but the two had a non-agression pact.
He could see no way of discerning Texas' intentions without speaking with one of their diplomats. However, he would no sooner hold a meeting in their territory as they would in his. He recalled what he recently knew about lands controled by any factions, and that which was not claimed by any.
"If your president would so like," the General started, his voice firm and even. "We could meet in Colorado. Strictly speaking in terms of effective fighting forces, it is still in neutral territory."
There was silence for several moments before Ms. Jones came back. "Agreed. President Phillips will meet with you at a tavern known as the Hook and Ladder in Blue Springs, a suburb located approximately twenty miles from the Republic's borders."
That was a little too close for General Laakaso's tastes, but this was an opportune time to create a diplomatic solution to this mess, thus saving lives for all sides.
"Agreed. I will depart immediately."
The general hung up and quickly informed Major Helmut of the upcoming meeting, as well as to arrange for an escort.
God willing, no shots will be fired.

The emperor was now displeased with the way the other nations were handling with the expanse of the Empire. Another month after the conquering of Japan, The Philippines and Indonesia have both joined together with Burma and it's allies to resist the Empire from taking Asia and have now formed The Military Republic of Abdistan under the Military Dictator-General Abdul-Nasser ibn Osama al-A'rab. It is still unknown if India or any other nations plan to attack China or if they will help it against the Resistance. This was certainly not what the emperor had hoped for in the progress of the Asian conquest. He was, however, trained to know an enemy if one had appeared before him. This "Abdistan" is now clearly a great road block in the journey of the emperor's thousand mile path. He had only one wise option before him now, destroy the rock that blocks his path to the glory of the Zhai Dynasty, or risk losing all that he fought for so long to accomplish. However, with the people viewing him as the god that he is, the largest military in the world, the skills and leadership of Ran Ji Ming, the monstrous economy to provide for more soldiers and expanding new technologies for greater weapons and armor, the question is no longer if the Imperial forces can defeat this enemy... But how long it will take.
Current Status:
The emperor has now declared war on the Military Republic of Abdistan and encourages all people to cheer on the Imperial Forces as they march into these lands to bring more land, wealth, and resources to the might of the Empire. The emperor has also set up a new advisory council of eunuchs to represent the people who must be of the age of 45, be a proud supporter of the Empire, and under-go genital mutilation after being elected to serve for life advising the emperor of the events in the Empire. There are now a total of 1,000 eunuchs in the council, each one representing 1,900,000 people.

The general hung up and quickly informed Major Helmut of the upcoming meeting, as well as to arrange for an escort.
God willing, no shots will be fired.
Three Comanche III HCGSs set down in a corn field about 1/2 mile outside Blue Springs, CO. The red, white, and blue Star of Texas was emblazoned on each, and each held a half-dozen Texas Marines, armed to the teeth. The gunship gunners had their sights turned to the approaching Novus reps. They really didn't expect any trouble, but these days you never knew.
General Matthew Scoggins climbed out of the cockpit of the center HCGS, lit a cigarette, and scanned the area. They were supposed to be meeting in a bar. Hopefully, it was a still-functional bar. Scoggins hadn't had a decent glass of beer in months.
Scoggins had been given the rundown of the situation. Left unchecked, Novus and Texas would battle each other to a virtual standstill, with very high losses on both sides. Resources would be depleted, and no matter who surrendered first, the rebuilding of America would be set back many years. President Phillips was seeking to avoid the mistakes of the past. There was no reason why Americans should be killing each other.
President Phillips had given Gen. Scoggins full authority to come to some kind of terms with Novus. Scoggins had brought along a sector governor from the northern sector of the Republic. There were four. No more states, just sectors. Easier to manage. The governor, Lee Hoskins, was a former New Mexican senator, an arch-conservative with a bit of Apache blood in him. This was no smiling, cardboard cutout politician. Here was a statesman, who actually put the good of the country ahead of the special interest groups.
Hoskins was very anxious to see what the new rulers of America had in mind. If it was going to be the way it was before the Fall, then let the war begin. There was no sense going back to the old ways. The governor and the President were dead serious about returning to the original intent of the Founding Fathers, back in 1776. Anything less was unacceptable.

"Enemies inbound, we're taking you out of here sir!" Two soldiers had rushed into the office where the CEO was looking out onto the city below, "Yes, prepare my helicopter at once!"

Guns started to poke out of the windows of the HQ building they were aimed at the approaching army, snipers took up position on the roof hoping to pick off any enemy officers, on the ground several Toxitroops were laying down barbed wire as others got behind sandbag Foxholes preparing HMG's.

"Approaching enemy force, we have alerted the Providence HQ who we suspect is also under attack." The Commander nodded, he looked over the officers who sat before him, "Tank division, get in early and fight off any enemy vechiles, once your mission is complete return to base and take up a firing position behind this ridge." The Commander pointed to a ridge on the map, "The enemy will be suspecting a gas attack and it is too close proximity to use Cyanogen, therfore the use of Nerve gases is prohibited for the duration of this engagement, now the enemy is ragtag and small in number, if we can get them in a bottleneck then the day will be won, artillery will be firing upon the enemies flanks when they reach here." The Commander pointed to a scenic field just outside the base, "Forcing them here will be more difficult so I want forces to navigete them into the trap, flee when you hear the sound of Artillery fire, once pinned we can move in but not too close with the snipers and force them into a retreat, you have your orders, get moving!"
The Tanks roared out of the base and toward the enemy, they stayed at the maximum effective range away from the enemy and loaded the shells, they locked onto targets and simultaniously fired at the enemy vechles.

"Sir Spy sattelite confirms, the enemy is mving round to flank our rear, the small force moving up the field is a decoy, what are our orders?" The Commander sneered, an obvious tactic, "Send out a small force to silence the assulting group, try to take a prisoner, in the distance between the base and NYC I'd say they'd be pretty cramped between a rock and a hard place, bombard them with artillery and get the Toxitroops ready for conflict on the South side."

"Sir, spy sattelites and a message from NY Military base have told us of an army manuevering between the city and the base ready to rush it, they have already ordered artillery battery support and wish to know what we can do."

Battle Update: January 17, 2016
After a month of combat against the Resistance, the emperor made the decision on his 36th birthday to drop a hydrogen bomb on the city of Yangon. The entire city is now destroyed and no survivors can be seen. The cowardly Prime Minister Htun Win was captured outside the city of Haka and brought under custody. The people everywhere else in Burma now speak for themselves saying they no longer wish to face the empire and have now succeeded to China. Immediately after, the sultan of Malaysia escaped to the other side of the country and leaves the peninsula vulnerable for total conquest. After taking the peninsula part of Malaysia, Singapore was left defenseless and open for conquering. Singapore was, of course, taken with one simple military advance. However the threat is not over. The leader, Abdul-Nasser ibn Osama al-A'rab, is now being searched for in the former territories of the Soviet Union. Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have now been conquered by China and now the chances of finding Al-A'rab are growing greater.

General Laakaso's helicoptor touched down a hundred yards from where the Texas representative's escort was. The two sides at each other in their sights, ready to squeeze the trigger the instant something went wrong. The general ran a hand over his sweating forehead, then slicked back his thinning hairline. He was no diplomat; he was a soldier. His teeth were cut in the deep forests of Novus Virginia, when he first enlisted as a Marine. The only experience with politics he had was reading the newspapers, voting each election, and the occasion party some dignitary threw.
Yet, he could be encouraged by the fact that generals Grant and Lee were soldiers, yet their cooperation ended the American Civil War. Taking a deep breath, he pulled on his dress uniform cap and opened the helicoptor's side doors, a handful of armed escorts already waiting for him.
The budding corn field between the two forces easily yielded to their feet. General Laakaso smiled as the two sides met and extended his hand. The representative from Texas grasped it and gave it a firm shake.
"General Peter Laakaso, United States of Novus-America Marine Corp."
"I'm General Matthew Scoggins, Republic of Texas Army. This is Lee Hoskins, Northern Sector governor."
"General," Hoskins said as he and Laakaso shook hands in turn.
"Well, gentlemen," General Hoskins began. "I suggest that we go this bar and discuss our negotiations."

The final borders had been secured, Kentucky and the Richmond-Virginia line being the north fields that the CSA had deemed as suitable borders. Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana all borderd ROT lines, and there was nothing to worry about there. But with the still-chaotic North, much of the Confederate force was clustered in Kentucky and Virginia, engineering crews working at record paces to finish fortifications and border security. Down South, in Florida, similar border securities were established to keep out those pesky Cubans that had plagued the former USA for decades.

Dutch was phoned offical orders by the Queen and Commander of the Navy.
"Our orders are to beach up, and take the ports."
A small dingy stealthly moved towards land. It beached up, and men exited taking cover in the sand, seeweed, and anything else they could hid behind. More dingies followed. Two then Four, then all of them.
"Our job is to provide cover. If our men and women are fired upon, then we must fire back. Shell the hell out of them."

(OOC; There is a single one way door which can only be opened from this side, outside is a Truck being guarded by a single Trucker and a Toxitroop who are currently having a smoke, there is also a hatch which is poorly illuminated and shows no signs of a ending.)
William ran through the kitchen towards the steel door on the otehr side of the room, his siter chased several meters behind him. He barged into another cook, sending him and a boiling pot of soup flying backwards. The man screamed as the soup burned but William ignroed him and keapt on running.
He slowed for a second to let his sister catch up and then sprinted again, a cook was trying to block his way out-a small metal fire door. He was a big man, your classic big, fat, happy cook. Only how he was not happy and he was holding a kitchen knife in his hand. "Move you Bastard!" William yelled at him, but the cook just stood there.
William didn't want to use his shotgun, not wanting to waste his cartrages. The man had just seen Liz behind him and looked almost supised at the girl. This was his mistake, for a second he took his eye off Will and that gave the boy time to lower his shoulder.
It was the perfec dumptackle, Williams shoudler went into the mans crotch causing him to drop the knife, even as the man was bending over Wills arms where wrapping round the podgy legs. He heaved and lifted the cook boderly off the ground, taking a step forward before falling back towards the ground. He used the man as a coushian and drove his shoudler deeper in as the man fell. There was a crack as the mans head hit a cabinate, then silence.
Will pulled himself to his feet and glanced back round the kitchen, the cooks looked stunned, except for the one screaming. Then Will rammed open the fire door, only to see a extramly suprised looking guard holding a cig. The man reached for his gun even as the boy brought his shotgun up. The was a bang and then the man was falling backwards, looking more suprised than hurt, his cheast punched with thousands of tiny holes.
William ran over to his body, cheaking it for keys. A jeep stood just a few meters away. He hauled his sister in then shoved the keys in the ingition and began to drive.

General Laakaso's helicoptor touched down a hundred yards from where the Texas representative's escort was. The two sides at each other in their sights, ready to squeeze the trigger the instant something went wrong. The general ran a hand over his sweating forehead, then slicked back his thinning hairline. He was no diplomat; he was a soldier. His teeth were cut in the deep forests of Novus Virginia, when he first enlisted as a Marine. The only experience with politics he had was reading the newspapers, voting each election, and the occasion party some dignitary threw.
Yet, he could be encouraged by the fact that generals Grant and Lee were soldiers, yet their cooperation ended the American Civil War. Taking a deep breath, he pulled on his dress uniform cap and opened the helicoptor's side doors, a handful of armed escorts already waiting for him.
The budding corn field between the two forces easily yielded to their feet. General Laakaso smiled as the two sides met and extended his hand. The representative from Texas grasped it and gave it a firm shake.
"General Peter Laakaso, United States of Novus-America Marine Corp."
"I'm General Matthew Scoggins, Republic of Texas Army. This is Lee Hoskins, Northern Sector governor."
"General," Hoskins said as he and Laakaso shook hands in turn.
"Well, gentlemen," General Hoskins began. "I suggest that we go this bar and discuss our negotiations."
With an open hand, General Hoskins motioned to the town and the men began their trek, towards what may be a defining moment for this war.
The bartender was just cleaning up a little when the door burst open and six or eight men walked in. ' A little early', he thought. His eyes widened when he saw five fully-armed men standing just inside the doorway. " Can I help you gents?"
Scoggins held up five fingers. " A beer for each of us, barkeep. And a back room if youv'e got one."
The bartender, one Randy McTell, pointed. " Back yonder, sir. No one'll bother you back there."
The five trudged to the back of the bar. Randy could see that these were no regular soldiers. The stars on the collars of two of the men identified them as officers. A third was dressed in combat fatigues, but Randy sort of got the impression that he was not in active combat. The other two were obviously guards, each having different insignias on their sleeves.
The generals and the non-comm sat down at a small table in the back room, and Scoggins had the guards stand outside the door. Their orders were not to let anyone in.
Scoggins pulled some cigars from a breast pocket, and offered them around. Laakaso and Hoskins declined; Scoggins fired his up. He looked at it and crinkled his nose. " Rotten shit", he said. " Haven't been able to get a decent cigar in months.
Anyway, Gen. Laakaso, whatr'e we gonna do about this situation? We're both Americans, on American soil, and we're killin' each other without really knowing why. Or do we?"
Laakaso allowed himself a grin. " Well, I know the official reason why we're fighting. Our leadership wants the country reunited, and youv'e declared yourselves a sovreign nation. On top of that, youv'e based your government on a literal interpretation of the old Constitution. You know that we lean more towards the Libertarian form of government. Non-interference in all personal civil matters. You people want to hyper-regulate everything. That didn't work before. Why would it work now?"
It was Scoggins turn to grin. " General, all we're looking to do is follow the intentions of our Founding Fathers. The reason that the country got itself in this situation was that we were always "the nice guys", helping every Tom, Dick, and Harry who asked for it. I'm all for helping those who need it, but when we're taken advantage of, over and over, it's time to lay down some rules. All the billions of dollars we sent to foreign nations to help them prop up their worthless leaders has to stop. The billions wasted on Wefare to those who don't want to work has to stop. The mandatory taxation system that has landed on the backs of the working guy has to stop. The judges slapping the wrists of murderers, rapists, child molesters, and drug dealers has to stop. America became great because it had a heart. The heart went out of the old USA because of the burdens placed on it's citizens against their will. We aim to give that heart back."
Scoggins held up his glass. " To America............"

"Our job is to provide cover. If our men and women are fired upon, then we must fire back. Shell the hell out of them."
Lt. Jay Forrester scanned the beach once more, taking note of the small landing craft dispensing the Aquan troops. He knew that there were several Aquan ships out about two miles in the Gulf. The Texican navy had been given orders to let them through the Yucatan Strait, then seal off any retreat. He spoke a short order into his mic, and the beach became floodlit with dozens of high-lumen lights. Out of a massive sound system came the order. " This is Lt. Forrester of the Republic of Texas. You are on sovreign territory. Lay down your arms. You and your ships are surrounded. I do not want anyone hurt. You have 30 seconds to send a representative to me to talk terms."
ooc: I don't know exactly how many troops you have sneaking up my beach, but I'm trying to avoid a pitched battle right now as reps from both sides are discussing a cease-fire.

General Laakaso raised his glass as well, and the two lightly touched.
"To America," he said, bringing the glass to his lips. Both men drank roughly half of their beer before setting the glasses back down.
"You may find this as a surprise, general, but the Libertarian view holds many of the same things. Captial punishment is an option, if the crime is serious enough. And there is no welfare in Novus-America, the popular view being that it is a government enforced charity, and we haven't given a dime to other countries."
"And what about income tax?"
"Non-existent." General Scoggins smiled.
"Well, I guess we have more than a few things in common, then. Anyway, time to get down to the brass tacks of the matter."
General Scoggins looked at Hoskins and nooded. The statesman cleared his throat and leaned forward.
"General Laakaso, our government would like there to be peace and cooperation between us. Granted, we were the first to secceed from the Union, but, under the circumstances, we feel that it was for the best. However, the president has no qualms against the restoration of the United States. What would you require for such an enaction?"
"Well, Mr. Hoskins, until this war is over, the Republic of Texas will remain a seperate, soverign nation that would rule itself however it saw fit. Your armed forces would report to their own officers, and your elected officials would remain in their seats. However, there are other requirements, that, unfortunately, aren't as... peaceful."
"Such as?" General Scoggins asked, puffing on his cigar a few times.
"You currently have a non-aggression pact with the C.S.A., and they, in turn, are supportive of the N.E.A. While my government hopes for peaceful negotiations, the events at the New York and Virgina borders suggest that won't be an option. At the very least, we would need permission to cross Texas land and fight the Confederacy from their western borders. Preferably, your country will join the Restoration Alliance and aid us against them. In either case, we would have need for bases to operate from. I can assure, that none of Novus-American forces will steal supplies; we will pay for them. And should any of the soldiers under my command break the local law, they will be handed over to your justice department for trial."
General Scoggins frowned. "What if we simply sign a peacy treaty with your country? I'm not certain the president would acceed to your demands."
"General, I understand your concern, but the C.S.A. could very likely see that as you aiding their enemies and use that as grounds to attack your borders. However, if you could use your influence on them and get them to agree to a peace treay as well, there would be no need for Alliance or Novus-American troops to enter your land."

" One other concern. The nation of Aqua Anu, who is in league with Kanami, seems hell-bent on aiding whoever has the intent of reuniting America. They presently have naval units in our Gulf. As a matter of fact," he glanced at his watch, " our boys shouldv'e made contact with their forward units by now. They thought they could sneak up on a bunch of southern back-woods boys." They all laughed. " I'll need your government to contact their Queen and call them off. If we're to have some kind of Coalition against those who would tear down the reunification process, I don't want to be looking over my shoulder at some foreign nation trying to sneak on me. Excuse me for a minute."
Scoggins got up and walked to the door, had a word with his guard, who trotted off out of the front door and towards the gunships.
" Sorry about that. Now, what was I saying? Oh yes....Aqua Anu. I don't know who they are or where exactly they came from, never mind what theyr'e ultimate intentions are. I just know that they need to respect our sovreignty, and they also need to know that we're essentially on the same side. I've never been a fan of hiring mercenaries to do a job, but I do realize that we may need them right now. As far as the CSA is concerned, we not only have a non-agression pact with them, but they too are on our side. I'm sure President Young will listen to our suggestions. Give me a few days to see how they'll respond."
The door to the back room opened, and a husky, weel-groomed man in his late thirtys entered. He was wearing the uniform of an airforce Lt. Colonel, and had the air of authority about him. Gen. Scoggins stood, and shook his hand. " Tom, good to see you. I'd like to introduce General Laakaso of the Novus-American military."
Turning to Laakaso, he said, " General, I'd like you to meet President Tom Phillips of the Republic of Texas."
Phillips extended his hand. " General........................."

General Laakaso smiled widely as he shook President Phillips' hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. President."
"Likewise. Since I am here, I assume that the negotiations were successful."
"For the most part. I'll have to contact my government and ask them to relay what has happened here to Aqu Anu and Kanami and get them to back down, but as of now, there exists peace between Novus-America and Texas."
"I'm glad to hear that. Americans shouldn't be fighting each other. We learned that during the Civil War." The two men let their hands fall back beside them.
"I want to say, general, that I've read combat reports of the fighting between our forces. I must admit that your men are hard opponents, the equal of any Texan." General Laakaso chuckled.
"The same can be said of you troops, Mr. President. Right now, though, I hope that the C.S.A. will join the Reunification Alliance and then exert their influence to get the N.E.A. to stop the fighting."

The helicoptors took off and flew off to their respective sides. General Laakaso phoned his superior in the Pentagon and informed him of the events that transpired, immediately relaying the the news to his troops and get the cease-fire ordered.
From: President John Maxwell, United States of Novus-America
To: Members of the Reunification Alliance
Re: Peace
I happy to report that a peace treaty between the United States of Novus-America and the Republic of Texas now exists, with the Texan Armed Forces willing to aid in our cause of the United States' restoration. I sincerely hope that any troops under you control will also recognize this treaty and cease all hostilities with the Texas military. Let not this event be marred with even more bloodshed between people with a common cause.
The Republic of Texas has promised to try and get the Confederate States of America to accept a similar treaty and aid in the reunification. In the best case scenario, the Confederacy will accept and use their influence on the Northeast Alliance to get them to concede. God willing, little more blood needs to be shed, and the reconstruction can begin.

"Ma'am, we've been boxed in."
"damn. How could I have been so stupid? Call Kanami, ask them to have Air Forces on Stand-bye, let's see if I can talk us out of this."
She spoke into the Mic.
"This is Master in Commander Dutch Payton, of the Aqua Anu Fleet. Officer Number: 1123. (She didn't dare jepordize her men on the beaches) Now I have orders, and I'm hell bent on carrying them out. But if you want to negotiate, I'll patch you through."

"Lee here, who am I speaking too?"
" Mr. Lee, my name is Jay Forrester of the Texas Gulf Forces. If you don't mind talking to a simple lieutenant, I have a message from my President.
I have just received word from the general of the Northern Armies of ROT that peace exists between the Novus American element and the Republic. A cease-fire has been agreed upon, and my President is going to try and hammer out an agreement with the CSA to cease hostilities in the north-east in order to bring all sides to a reunification conference. As you are undoubtedly aware, your forces in the Gulf have attempted a surprise landing on our shores, but the surprise was that we knew your people were coming. We have not fired upon your troops, nor will we unless necessary. Please, for the sake of peace and unity, stand down your forces until at such time we have consolidated intentions with all of the various factions. Please withdraw your forces from ROT territory and wait for developements with the CSA to commence. I am not asking your navy to withdraw from the Gulf as yet, as we may need your help if the CSA does not cooperate. I await your response."
Forrester wiped the sweat from his brow, and hoped for the best.

Back in Amarillo, Phillips and Scoggins talked about the message to be sent to President Young of the CSA.
" Tom, do we know just what in the hell is going on up north? Last I heard, the CSA had taken possession of Tenessee and Virginia, and was looking to drive north through Maryland or Pennsylvania."
" Hmmmm....reports are sketchy, General. All I know is that we have to contact Young and get some kind of temporary agreement from him that we can all sit down and figure out what to do about the independant elements who are running around fanning the flames of anarchy. As near as I can figure, the Restoration Alliance is in control of at least 25 of the original United States, with the CSA in control of seven or eight more. Aside from the north-east, there is Alaska to consider. We need to get it back. And if Canada won't help us, then maybe we need to annex the sections of Canada who are leaning towards joining the new USA. Mexico is a complete shambles, with Kanami/Aqua Anu in control of 3/4s of it, and we have the other quarter. Whatever the hell is going on in Europe, Russia, and Asia is beyond our scope of operations right now, but we can be neither complacent nor relaxed. Most of the military of the old USA is intact, and we must get all factions working together to guard against any attacks from foreign elements."
" Very well, Tom. Whatr'e you gonna tell Young?"
" I'm simply going to tell him that somehow, some way, we have to get our shit together if we're going to return America to the stature it once held in the world. Once and for all, the ReUnited States must be truly united, or all of this will be for nothing."
ooc: CSA, consider this the message to you.

"Comandeered Vechile outside Kitchen Unloading bay, we need imediate assistance we have wounded." The Toxitroop who had hidden round the corner was radioing the message back in, they wouldn't get far on thier own.
NY Army Base
Close combat not being the forte of the Toxitroops the battle was slowly being lost to the far more experienced skirmishers, but there were still enough men to put up a hardy resistance.
Providence
The enemy had moved off and were camping this was a time to lick wounds and rest some of the more tired, Lucians body had not yet been found but they were sure it was around somwhere dead or alive.
Army Base
Gradually, enemy resistance ceased, and there was only scattered gunfire, as the remaining pockets of enemy resistance continued to fight. Kennedy was already gathering her troops for the long journey up to Providence, to assist the attack on the enemy HQ.

Young reviewed the quick message from the RoT concerning the effort to re-unify. As much as Young hated to see his vaunted CSA forced back into a single nation with others, he recognized the potential value in this move. It would first provide the collabrative nation with a pretty good amount of force, with the combined militaries of the RoT, the NEA, and the CSA. And if Young played his cards well enough, and used his spreading influence, he could possibly get control of the new nation, and perhaps bring in the Carribean nations he sought to conquer as well. He transcribed a short message back to Phillips.
To President Phillips, RoT
From President Young, CSA
In regards to the efforts to reconstruct the dead embers of the United States into a sole nation again, we believe that with the support of the NEA along with the CSA and RoT that this is a feasible task. Any states still standing against us could be taken back militarily. However, we would have a few requests in the re-folding into the union, chief among them that the chaotic Carribean be collected into the new USA. We would also rather see the establishment of groups of states rather than the large numbers of individual states that partially led to the United State's downfall in the firstplace with the squabbling in the government. However, we will discuss this more when we are able to meet you in a conference.
Signed,
Dan Young
President, CSA

"Full Retreat!" Seeing the few soldiers left this was the only order which made any sense, a retreat could mean that they could get back to the Factory and regroup.

Lynch told his soldiers to quiet down. He was hiding behind a wall, gun at the ready. "We'd like to parley with whoever's in charge over there!" he called to the Toxitroops.
