North Volitaia, Day 1

A newspaper chased it's shadow down the relativly empty street, it was surrounded on both sides by the ancient dingy houses which had been settup by foreign colonisers back in the time of slavery. The paper continued before clinging for dear life upon the leg of a man, he looked at the trash with contempt, the man had an aura about him which seemed to make the already empty street even more empty, almost completly life-less, he was dressed appropritly for the atmosphere, a long black trench-coat whipping round his black jeans and T-shirt, he had left the matching hat resting on his table.

The aura and quiet emptyness of the street was suddenly shattered and the newspaper now fled from the scene, the black coated man didn't seem to care as he was busy analysing the threat of the man who had began to run up the street towards him, squezing the trigger on his hidden P90 all the time, the man came out of the last shadow created from the streetlights, he was everely disfigured, a light grey top covered a hunched back but failed to draw away from the slashes ripped across the Hunchbacks face.

"Brother, I assume you are finding yourself comfortable?" The black clad man asked in a sneering voice which seemed to shock the hunchback, the sentence was returned by a sharp angry look, "I apologise only I was expecting you to have died from your illness by now, there most be some comfort you are hiding from me?" Another snide remark made the hunchbacks face contort into an expression which suggested that he was about to knock the black clad man to his arse.

"Who do you think you are, murderer?!" This time it was the black clad mans time to feel anger as the hunchback squeezed out the sentence, "You killed my sister in that damn laboratory you got just out of the slums!" The black clad man sighed as if he was hearing the blatently obvious and it was boring him.

"I am only sorry that you forced me to do...... this!" Black clad pointed at the scars and the hunched back, he was smiling and obviously reveled in taunting the man, "But your message sounded worthy of investigation, why am I here for you?" Rather bizarrely black clad asked this in a polite manner, whether to taunt him via accent or to make friends shall never be known as the hunchback pulled out a pistol and held it to the face of the still casual black clad, a quiet laughter now filled the natural sounds of the quiet street, "I am not a fool, but apparently you are." Toxitroopers popped out from hding places and pointed P90's at the hunchback who dropped the pistol and lowered himself to the floor.

**** **** ****

Inside of a thicket, surrounded by an old barbed wire fence, the trees rustled as they found themselves hitting against the rotted wood of an old shack, the glass smacked back the long branches of various bushes and trees as the door itself swang the hinges further into a rusted shapeless device, the door was suddenly caught and held open, a women peered inside the old place holding out a Zippo, she scanned the walls and checked the various chests and cabinets, relativly sure that she was protected the Zippo went out and the shack was plunged once more into darkness.

"Michael, it's me Mary, the mission failed." In the immaculate pitch black it was impossible to tell that there was another person moving about the room, "Michael I'm pretty sure Jack is dead and I'm definantly sure that I'm next, please give me somthing good to tell our people, divulge another of your secrets.

Michael was looking out the windows making sure that there were no Toxitroopers out in the windy terrain, once he had finished he sat on the crummy bed in the corner, "I will tell you today the events which led to my existance and to why we we are fighting." Michael waited until Mary had sat down beside him before continuing, "8 Years ago I was concieved via a cloning process in the Toopoxican laboritories, I was supposed to be the crowning glory of a new technology, the first pure Clone, 100% identical to Lucian Brave, though very little remains in my memory of this time I have read many reports and have managed to tie together the story, apparently I was being grown inside the womb of a surragate mother, Mrs Brave, Lucians wife at the time, although she died giving birth to me." Michael seemed to be feeling remorse at this, although he knew Mrs Brave, "The next 8 years I spent in the care of Lucian, who I came to know as Akre, apparently the name of one of his descendants, in this time I was taught everything that the Laboritories thought was nessacery for my abilities, this included Classified information on the Organisation itself, I even met the Leader who told me that I was going to be his successor, and at the age of 7 I was made his public appearance liasons, needless to say it raised a few eyebrows that Scientists were talking to a 7 year old as an equal." Michael stopped to take a drink of cold coffee which had been resting on a nearby desk, Mary felt like such a prat for not having noticed it in her inspection, "Blagh, Toopoxia makes the worst coffee, Du'Font, the man who led this nation before Toopoxia came in, was never assassinated as many would have you believe, it was my 8th birthday when it happened, I saw Lucian don his Black trench coat, the black jeans and black T-shirt, he paid special attention to the Black Hat which he had resting on his table, I was obviously distracted by my celebrations of age, all of the leading scientists were there to congratulate me, there was no-one of my age, not that I cared much, I was more busy on finding out where Akre had gone, even at my age I had it figured out when we made the move from a pathetic nation, Spooty I think, to North Volitaia, Lucian had travelled here before to assassinate Du'Font, but Toopoxia already owned the nation, Du'Font had ruled the people by friendliness and reforms which had made the people happy and pleasant for years, a drought had struck and Du'Font feared a Coup to have had all the national power taken from him, and so he orchastrated the Coup so that he would still have power, you see Du'Font is the Leader." Mary was stunned into silence, she had lived as a teen under Du'Font and had never expected anything of the sort, to be honest it made her feel sick, "As I could expect you feel only a half as sick as I felt, no-one had known that the Leader was Du'Font and I knew that they would never know because I could never tell them, doing so would lead to possible extermination, even at my age I would not be surprised if there was no resistance to the matter, instead I further investigated the Company, finding projects and tactical details which made me even more sick, they created me but had given me the free will to defy them, Lucian discovered my involvement in hacking the systems, he did little but turn a blind eye if I stopped, this is why you cannot tell anyone about that part, they would instantly suspect my involvement with this organisation and would become suspicious, now, onto more pressing issues, I have hacked my way around the Organisation communication taps, I need you to send out an international plee for assistance, I must return before I am found to not be home, farwell and god speed Mary!" Michael dissapeared into the night leaving Mary with an assortment of chests and closets, she knew where the Laptop was and opened the case, the screen dimly lit the room as she typed up the File and and sent it on the broadcasting frequency left by Michael.

(OOC: normally my posts aren't that large, but I got into a serious thing and then I forgot how it ended, this is totally open join in/leave whenever, enjoy)

(OOC: Bump, C'mon people do I smell that bad?)

President Ailani brooded in his office. A static-filled radio transmission had been received by a listening post. The message was desperate, pleading for help against tyranny. The same sort of tyranny that had only recently left Mare Serenus 6 years ago. President Ailani thought, By Ku has it only been 6 years.

The President’s brooding was interupted by a polite knock on the door. President Ailani said, “Come in.” Three people filed in, General Heke Bellum, Secretary of Foreign Affairs
Palinurus Kahoku, and the man who went by the name Nui Aku.

The President started first, “So, I assume everyone here has heard the transmission?” Everyone nodded their assent. The President then asked, “How much of it did the general populace hear?” Secretary Kahoku replied, “It was recorded by a few amateur radio operators and the media had been blaring it over the TV for the past half-hour.” Nui Aku interrupted, “Actually it has only been showing for the past 24 minutes.” Kahoku glared at Nui Aku.

President Ailani turned to General Bellum and stared into her eyes, he said, “If need be can the military do this job?” General Bellum gave a wry grin and said, “Of course it can.” Ailani turned towards Secretary Kahoku, the Secretary said, “As far as we can tell, none of our current allies have any connections to Toopoxia.” President Ailani nodded his head and then turned to Nui Aku.

President Ailani asked, “Do you have any assests in Toopoxia?” Nui Aku gave a languid shrug as he said, “No, it just hasn’t been a country we have been interested before now.”

President Ailanin pondered this information then said, “I am going to ask congress to gather in two days. General Bellum, I want our military forces to begin mobilization, slowly at first so as not to perturb our neighbors. Secretary Kahoku, I want you to go through diplomatic channels to gather as much support you can from our allies concerning this mission. And I want you to learn as much as you can about Toopoxia. In two days I want us to be ready for war.”

48 Hours Later
President Ailani addresses the congress, “Esteemed Ladies and Gentlemen of the congress and to all the citizens of Mare Serenus. A time of crisis has come to Mare Serenus, two days ago we recieved a plea for help against a tyrannic despot who seeks to rule his country with an iron fist. We have recieved a cry for freedom where none exsists. We have been called upon to assist our brothers and sister in Toopoxia to gain there freedom. The only question is now is wheather we shall rise to the occasion to stop tyranny or if we shall fall to complacency about the actions of these evil men. Ladies and Gentlemen the choice is yours. Choose well.

3 Hours of Discussion Later
The Vote stands thus 167-21. Mare Serenus will assist the freedom fighters of Toopoxia.

To the Freedom Fighters of Toopoxia. The Allied States of Mare Serenus will stand beside you. I repeat we will offer all political, economic, and military assisstance that we can provide.

North Volitaia

The Moon had long dissapeared and at last the sun had curled over the Horizon, bringing about immediate action within cities and towns, places where lastnight people had been kidnapped or had pleeded for assistance now had the life of citizens buzzing about them, Mary was still trying to keep her face hidden in a large crowd of Volitaians, her mind had been too distracted as she was busily trying to find anything on the AM frequency.

As she walked she failed to notice the large Toxitrooper directing people away from the side of the road, her apathy to this situation resulted in her mindlessly crashing into the Plastic body armour and falling dumbly on the floor, the Trooper sort of growled in anger but simply left the woman on the floor, the radio buzzed into immediate action as if the floor was boosting the range "------f Toopoxia. The Allied States of Mare Serenus will stand beside you. I repeat we will offe---------nomic, and military assissta--- that we c-------." The message cut off as Mary got to her feet and rushed off to show her findings.

**** **** ****

The Message played out with a subtitle coming across the screen to show what was being said, "How was it done?" Lucian asked, nothing before had been able to get through the Phone Taps without the Organisation finding out and none of the experts in the room seemed to be able to answer, Lucian was now obviously angry and picked up a telephone on the desk, he threw it across the room so that it smashed a glass cabinet, "FIND OUT!" He bellowed so that the experts scurried out in fear.

Lucian breathed calmly attempting to free the anger of his mind, he heard the glass shards crack and looked up to see Michael standing up looking at his father, "Akre." The child said, Lucian looked down and smiled, he didn't need to say anything because he knew Michael could answer it anyway, "The message you found which was received from a foreign TV News show." Michael was looking at the TV screen which was now attempting to talk about the Toopoxican Organisation and North Volitaia, "It would have to be an AM broadcast, we don't have the technology to playback an antiquated broadcast, but then they still need to break through the Taps otherwise it will still be detected and stalled at Comms Investigation, an inside job perhaps?" Lucian shook his head, only 5 people knew the Phone Tap codes, himself, Du'Font, Rayne, Schmeil and Yusef.

**** **** ****

Mrs Betom had only just awoke, she had put on a kettle for her guest who sat at the table speaking to her son, "Mrs Betom, again I'm sorry for awaking you but I needed to speak to you, Michael told me to send out a message lastnight, I wasn't expecting it to get through but a few moments ago I got a response." Mrs Betom walked through to the living room and listened intently to Mary, she had always been michaels favorite agent, "We have a foreign interest, I know that you have been able to sneak out messages before, I need you to tell them what to do." Mary was obviously excited, this was as close to freedom as the resistance had ever got.

"I will do this Mary do not worry so much, I have been in contact with President Loubet, he will gladly do anything to see this Dictatorship fall, he misses his ally Du'Font." Mary gulped, Betom did not know about Du'Font and his true alliegance, Loubet could be the same, "Mary I told you do not worry, Loubet will not betray us." Mrs Betom winked and Mary wondered if she did actually know about Du'Font, it was a possibility, Mrs Betom had been an Assassin before she had faked her death, Betom walked off to her hidden radio behind the Oven and began to transmit a response.

Message From Mrs Susan Betom
To Anonymous Foreign Power

We gladly recieved you message this morning and are willing to take in your aid, unfortunantly North Volitaia is surrounded on each side by land, if you are still willing I would have you speak to President Loubet of Lower Volitaia, if you are to land there may be a good start, I look forward to your assistance as do many others.

(OOC: Bump)

"Sir, Toopoxia is experiencing... a rebellion."

"Ha! I want us to give them weapons. Drop some ZA-1s, ZT-1s, and maybe a few XM-1s. Heck, give 'em a couple XS-1s too."

"OK, sir..."

OOC: Could I send a message to the rebels?

Pythogria would like to supply your rebellion with as many assualt rifles, sidarms, anti-tank weapons, tanks, and supertanks as you need. Helicopters may soon come available. Please respond as soon as youcan.

North Volitaia

The streets of Bunaii, in the Northern district of the nation, were noticably empty, the people here were deeply religous and had gone to thier homes to pray, this time alone and free of distraction was perfect for the resistance movement who spent it organising equipment and going to secret meetings.

Martin was amongst those sitting below a radio reciever jotting down the message they had managed to intercept, an AM broadcast so it could not have been the Organisation, or it's allies, it had to be an enemy, the final word came and Martin finished the piece, an ally in a time of great need, nothing could be asked for in greater volumes.

Sara was stting at the windowshelf looking out to the streets, she noticed a glint of black shine off in the distance, "Martin! Troopers!" Martin looked up and quickly took the sheet of paper and shoved into Brians arms, The young man looked stunned, he had only just signed up, Sara was taking AK-47's out of the hidden compartment beside the wall.

"Brian, go quickly, take the motorcycle parked out back and head off to Volitaia City, once there ask for Susan Betom and give her this note, don't tell anyone but Mrs Betom about your mission, GO NOW!" Brian stumbled out into the back yard and came into the face of a deeply breathing Toxitrooper, the Black plastic mask looked down on him as he felt his heart beat at an innhumane rate, the stench of the hollow sterile breath washed over his nervous face, stunned he stood looking at the intimidating force not noticing Martin raise a gun past Brians shoulders, the bullet zipped past the stunned man and pushed itself through the Troopers neck and sent him to the floor, time returned to normal as bullets began to fly across the street and the courtyard, Brian could still not move as Martin shouted for him to leave, Martin ripped the sheet off of Brian and lept onto the cycle.

Brian grabbed the Rifle and began to blast off at random Troopers, his face was covered in blood tears and sweat as he ignored wound after wound, he was slowly joined by more and more of the resistance members who were trying to keep the Troopers from gaining the living room, a blast rocked the foundations as the house collapsed onto the watching Brian.

**** **** ****

"Martin?" Martin looked around he was dazed and could barely concentrate on anything, "Martin are ok? Susan he's rousing!" Martin felt a couple of smacks to his cheek and looked up at the face of Mary, the Volitaia City operative.
"Mary! Thank god, where's the message?" Martin asked he was still aching all over but he was shaking the pain slowly off.
"Mrs Betom has it, she's sending an acceptance as we speak, Martin what happened me and Mrs Betom's son found you collapsed in the slums, you're lucky a Trooper detachment didn't find you." Mary wiped Martins brow of sweat and he looked over to see Susan reading a response from a scrap of paper.
"We were ambushed, I think the Organisation is onto us and are inspecting all AM transmissions, we'll have to find a different frequency." Martin clawed his way up to a sitting position and took a sip of water.

OOC: You're going to intercept my message?

(OOC:no, oh no no no, that's not what I meant, no doubt a Toopoxican spy ratted out the Cell in Bunaii and so the Toxitroopers went off and silenced them, they know nothing of the message, yet)

(OOC:no, oh no no no, that's not what I meant, no doubt a Toopoxican spy ratted out the Cell in Bunaii and so the Toxitroopers went off and silenced them, they know nothing of the message, yet)

OOC: OK.

We gladly recieved you message this morning and are willing to take in your aid, unfortunantly North Volitaia is surrounded on each side by land, if you are still willing I would have you speak to President Loubet of Lower Volitaia, if you are to land there may be a good start, I look forward to your assistance as do many others.

OOC: So, do you want me to send people to co-ordinate between us or an official delegate to the president of Lower Volitaia?

(OOC: well sending someone into North is likely to raise some suspicions amongst the Organisation, so I'd get friendly with Lower then send in your forces)

(OOC: Bump)

(OOC: Bump again)

(OOC: I'm waiting for you Pyth, plus I need more people)

OOC: What can I do? The rebels never replied!

Mrs Betom has it, she's sending an acceptance as we speak

(OOC: might have been a bad idea to have not actually writ the message itself, but basically you have been said yes to.)

(OOC: might have been a bad idea to have not actually writ the message itself, but basically you have been said yes to.)

OOC: OK. Now I drop in weapons and money...

IC:

The CArryalls flew towards the enemy base. They came close to it and landed. A soldier came out, holding up a white flag. He came closer, and told them, "These are your weapons."

(OOC: by enemy I guess you mean Rebel cos it would be kinda dumb to fly into enemy airspace and drop of cache of weapons :P I'm also guessing you dropped off in Lower Volitaia)

Loubet came out to greet the visitors, he had been informed by the buxom Mrs Betom about this and was happy to see some action finally coming into place, he missed Du'Font and would stake his political carreer in order to get him back, "You are amongst friends here, we will have the weapons taken over the border at night." Loubet bowed graciously nearly forgetting his manners, "If you are not in a hurry I would be honoured to feed you for the road ahead." Loubet offered, pointing to a large fine building standing behind him.

OOC: D'oh! make that "rebel" base, please!

IC:

The soldier said, "Ah. Yes, we'll stay. Oh, and... I have a message for you."

He handed him a letter. It read:

Toopoxian Rebellion Leaders,

Along with the equipment and money I have given you comes my soldiers. They will fight on your side under my command. More weapons-- helicopters and jets to be exact-- wil larrive soon. Good luck. We wil lalso scout for you using our sattelites.

Signed,
Supreme Gneral Khonsu Izakabad

"Excellent!" Loubet cried out, trained assistance for the rebellion was better than the poorly executed guerilla tactics made by the Rebels, "We will move into North Volitaia in a days time, there is going to be an attack in a Northern Town, we hope this will take some heat off our movements." Loubet smiled and motioned for the soldiers to follow him into the Manor House.

**** **** ****

The ground was charred black and shards of paper ash flew idly about in the mild wind, the skull of Sara Sanders still had charred pieces of flesh attached, the sickening item was renched from it's place on the spine into the hands of the Toxitroopers officer, who looked down into the emptyless pits of eyes, "Sah! Our spy claims that one person is missing along with a motorcycle, we checked with Provincial guards, we've accounted for every Province release forms except this one." The trooper pointed to an image of a young man in his early 20's.
"Martin Folsk!"

The soldiers followed him into the house. Two whispered to each other.

"He sure seems happy."

"Well, he did just recieve stuff that makes his rebellion twice as strong."

(OOC: I'ma skip ahead to the attack in this post)

North Volitaia

The sun slowly set and the warm day became the cold night, Toxitroopers came off thier shifts and were quickly replaced by newer Troopers, the people of Bunaii had forgotten the attack as quickly as it had happened, and Mary snuck out once more to the shack, finding her way through the barbed wire and tackling the thicket, she made her way to the window and peered inside once more, hoping she could get a look at Michael, no luck, she quickly dissapeared through the door and into the mouldy wooden shed.

"Michael!" She whispered, looking around for bugging equipment and noticing the warm cup of coffee sitting on the window shelf, she smiled to herself before returning to her review of the security, she put the lights out once more believing in her good job, Michael did not appear, "Michael I know you are there, I saw your coffee!" Mary whispered in a slightly higher voice.

Light hit the window and sent out a dusty spectrum into Mary's eyes, there was another outside, had she been caught? The nerve was too much for her and she grabbed the handle of the door before having the whole thing yanked from her hand, twisting around and hiding quickly she made sure that the Toxitrooper didn't see her leap into one of the many chests.

"Lucian, I have no time for your prebubescant runts foolish games, if he is making a mockery of my Organisation I will have him terminated!" Mary recognised the voice as being Du'Font, the lights came on and Mary was suddenly unable to see through the tiny crack in the Chest lid.

"My Lord, Michael is kept under strict watch day and night, I doubt even he has the ability to avoid detection, even if he is my own blood." Mary did not recognise this voice but assumed it was Lucian, unless there was a third member of this conversation, "My Liege, is there anyone else who has booked an appointment with the labs?" Lucian asked, Mary was overcome with itchiness, the Coffee was still steaming if they noticed she could be dead within the next few minutes.

"Lucian, these are scientists, they leave cups of coffee in the most bizarre of places, now take us down!" Lucian walked over away from the coffee and began looking for a specific plank before pushing it firmly, the two men dissapeared down a hole arguing all the way, Mary leapt out and let out a giant sigh of relief.

Morning

Mary had run all the way from the Thicket, she wanted to tell someone, specifically Michael, Mrs Betom probably wouldn't understand and Martin was a great fighter but he was not too bright in these matters, her mind was travelling twice as fast as she was, so much so thjat it wasn't until it became really obvious that she could hear the sounds of gunblasts, she stopped catatonic in the streets, looking at where she thought the sound was coming from, her mind restarted and she began again, running for life towards the town square, turning corner after corner until she suddenly found herself pinned by a hail of fire.

The streets were piled with corpses, Rebels that Mary did not even know about lying next to Toxitroopers, the Town hall had been shattered into a crumbling wreckage as Rebels held off the attack on Post Center, Mary was trapped behind the innumerable Toxitrooper force, her only hope was a mad dash for the Center, she got onto her hind legs and prepared to blitz across the open terrain, she was pushed to the floor and when she opened her eyes she expected to be seeing the Rifle end of a P90, she looked up at Mrs Betom, she was grazed and admitedly not as pretty as she was yesterday, "Not a great idea lovely, here." Mary caught the Glock .22 in her arms and loaded it quickly, "Go for the Left Flank its unguarded, there's a South entrance which has been little touched, go for it!" Mary got up and ran following the walls down the left flank and towards a series of backstreets, a bullet caught her leg and she now seemed to be chased by bullets as she made it towards cover.

(OOC: you can come in now)

OOC: I attack now?

(OOC: Border Patrols will be too busy keeping people in to stop you from staying out, once inside head towards North Volitaia City, it's where my forces are in the need of most help.)

OOC: Understood!

IC:

The commander adressed the troops. They stood at attention.

"Troops! Today, we fight for the liberation of Toopoxia. Too long this opressive government has abused it's power! Kas NAradas!"

The troops cheered, and the attack was on.

Once inside, the columns of tanks and masses of in fantry headed to North Volitaia City. The scene was terrible. An enemy tank group ws sighted, backs towards the invasion force. The tanks fired 120mm ETC main guns at optimum angles.

Du'Font was watching the scientists attempt once more to show him an already thrice failed piece of equipment, his patience and stamina had been tested as both he and Lucian attempted to strain thier eyes open, a Toxitrooper walked over tapping the Leader on the shoulder Du'Font turned slowly and nearly collapsed from his lack of sleep, "Sir, North Volitaia City has been attempting to contact you, we have a situation!"

**** **** ****

"Tanks, Evasive Actions!" The enemy shells ripped through those tanks standing still, the ones ready to move leapt out of positions and scooted around blasting out shots from the top mounted HMG, Anti-Armour Troopers began to circle around nearing the enemy tanks and attempting to stay out of immediate danger.

Mary could see the Armour troops begin to move away from her position, she let out a few shots hoping to take down a few of the bastards before they made it to the friendly reinforcements, she was rubbing down her aching bullet wound which was now seeping a deep red colour, she prayed for Mrs Betom to fly down and cut up all the Toxitroopers with her garott wire, she was also attempting to find people she knew in the bodies of those dead on the streets, no luck yet.

Infantry rushed at the Anti-Armor troopers, and fired upon them. The tanks began to deal death with AP missiles and main guns.

Akre took out the HMG he had taken from stocks and settup looking down West upon the battlefield, he could see the Pythogrians Infantry rush into the Armour Troops, quickly he got out the cartridge and aimed up at the rear of the march, he squezed the trigger and turned on the spot to point the large gatling pice into the face of Mrs Betom who smiled, "you must be slipping in your age, maybe that's why you created a clone." Akre had little time for this, he let out a volley of shots which burst Mrs Betoms chest into jelly, he turned back and began to snipe away with the HMG.

Mary looked upwards at the roofs controlled by the Toopoxicans, snipers were dotted along the edge of the walls picking off enemies and anyone they could find who was getting in the way, she realised that she would need to get around towards the Pythogrians, staying here could only lead to her death, she rasied up slightly and looked through the broken shards of glass, Toxitroopers had entered the building and she needed to move now, grabbing a hold of the frame she jumped out and landed softly on the ground below, she limped across the killing zone and prayed that no-one sniped her off, another bullet found it's way into her pelvis forcing her to collapse on the floor, she looked up and could see Akre staring down at her, his view returned to the battle and she crawled past, stopping when she saw the thick band of Toxitroopers, and rolling over when the Tanks began to fall back turning east and attempting to avoid being hit by enemy shells, the Speakers began to blare out over the conflict, "Toxitroopers fall back to nearest Garrison zones, all those with Province Passes will be allowed to leave, Rebels will be shot on sight." The Toxitroopers made a sort of move backwards whilst attempting to fire at as many Pythogrians as possible, Mary saw Akre begin to pack up and she wheeled around her Glock before firing a few rounds wildly into his direction, he smiled and instead of leaving simply gave the finger and hid behind the wall.

**** **** ****

Toxitroopers lept out of the back of Trucks as they began to station HMG turrets alongside Rocketeers, "Garrison 6 in place, Garrisons 8 & 9 are standing ready, Quarentine is in effect!" Road block markers and Brabed wire fences began to pop up around the designated areas, leaving only one point of exit, through the East, "All back from Town Center, Quarentine is in effect!"

OOC: Sorry I haven't posted. Just with theater and all I have been really busy.

A lone toxitrooper walked out of the Barracks 9, obviously ignoring the quarentine. After walking six blocks away the trooper turned into a dead end alley. A few minutes later a young lady walked out, just in time to see the explosion take out half the building.

The lady hurried through the war zone and came to a deserted building. She went up to the pantry in the kitchen an opened up a false wall. Once the lady made sure the wall was back in it place, she took out a sattellite phone. The encrypted message was this.

The sealions have begun to fight the killer whales. The poison has done somework and sharks have come to fight with sealions. Need the seagulls to come.

General Bellum glared with her one blue and one green eye. Finally the phone rang and she listened to the message. She smiled and barked out orders, "Prepare for lift off, we are going in hot." The 20 or so Albatrosses, powered up their powerful VTOL engines and rose out of the water. They were the 173rd Air Assault regiment. They dripped water as they rose out of the sea and flew toward the war zone. It was finally time to prove Mare Serenus's mettle.

General Bellum just smiled as she remarked, "Time to have some fun."

Akre took out the HMG he had taken from stocks and settup looking down West upon the battlefield, he could see the Pythogrians Infantry rush into the Armour Troops, quickly he got out the cartridge and aimed up at the rear of the march, he squezed the trigger and turned on the spot to point the large gatling pice into the face of Mrs Betom who smiled, "you must be slipping in your age, maybe that's why you created a clone." Akre had little time for this, he let out a volley of shots which burst Mrs Betoms chest into jelly, he turned back and began to snipe away with the HMG.

Mary looked upwards at the roofs controlled by the Toopoxicans, snipers were dotted along the edge of the walls picking off enemies and anyone they could find who was getting in the way, she realised that she would need to get around towards the Pythogrians, staying here could only lead to her death, she rasied up slightly and looked through the broken shards of glass, Toxitroopers had entered the building and she needed to move now, grabbing a hold of the frame she jumped out and landed softly on the ground below, she limped across the killing zone and prayed that no-one sniped her off, another bullet found it's way into her pelvis forcing her to collapse on the floor, she looked up and could see Akre staring down at her, his view returned to the battle and she crawled past, stopping when she saw the thick band of Toxitroopers, and rolling over when the Tanks began to fall back turning east and attempting to avoid being hit by enemy shells, the Speakers began to blare out over the conflict, "Toxitroopers fall back to nearest Garrison zones, all those with Province Passes will be allowed to leave, Rebels will be shot on sight." The Toxitroopers made a sort of move backwards whilst attempting to fire at as many Pythogrians as possible, Mary saw Akre begin to pack up and she wheeled around her Glock before firing a few rounds wildly into his direction, he smiled and instead of leaving simply gave the finger and hid behind the wall.

Toxitroopers lept out of the back of Trucks as they began to station HMG turrets alongside Rocketeers, "Garrison 6 in place, Garrisons 8 & 9 are standing ready, Quarentine is in effect!" Road block markers and Brabed wire fences began to pop up around the designated areas, leaving only one point of exit, through the East, "All back from Town Center, Quarentine is in effect!"

The various things being fired did do damage, but no sniper withstands a .50 caliber. These aimed at all Toxitroopers and fired on ful automatic.
