In the small isolated region of Amortia beyond the observation of most nations and hardly considered to be a flash point of heated debate lies the Rashari Empire. For a near century the empire moved from being a subgugated colony of some long lost monster empire from the more 'civilized' regions of the world to a some forgotten nation to a regional empire. Unchallegened for two generations it has welded its strength to dominate a good portion of the region and those it can't conquer it controls through subvertive tactics.

Rasharnia Provience, Rashari

Derek Sloan walked cautiously as to avoid making much noise in the ally way. The Imperial Guard had just been deployed an hour ago, around 4:30am, three hours after the attempt on Emperor Shaddai's life. Most people in the Empire would wake up to frontline news of the attempt and the martial law that had ensued would come to a shock when they went to pick up their news papers and saw the troops at their street corners. Derek had been with the Underground since he was thirteen and had followed his father to their hidout, since then he had worked for them and knew the way well. Commander Jackson would have a fit at this botched assassination attempt. With this being the second in two years and the same outcome the Underground and its more wild side being trigger happy was most likely going to throw the Empire into a civil war rather than a swift takeover as they had been hoping to see. Derek came to the door he was looking for checked to make sure no one saw him and opened it stepped into a entry way. He rang the buzzer waited for an answer and the door swung open a hand pulled him in and closed the door quickly.

Disorented someone started to yell at him, "You fool! You could have led them right to us. Are you paying attention? Didn't you check your text messages?"

"Jake! Quiet down, if he hasn't led them to us your yelling will. It will be ok." Dereks father turned to look at him, "Next time be more cautious, and keep an eye on your phone. We sent you a coded message to go home after work and not here. You were much more likely to be watched coming here then before because of the assassination attempt." Letting out a sigh, "But anyway we need to get down to the central room, its time to start planning our objectives for the city."

Derek stared at his father, "You mean this is it? We are going to fight?"

"Yes, Derek, we have no other choice now. We have tried twice to remove the emperor. Remember last time, almost ten percent of the Underground was destroyed, this time they will not stop until they know we are all dead, and that means the innocent people we are fighting for will be hurt as well. It doesn't help that the trigger happy people in the Underground forced our hand, but what has been done is done. Now we use this time to plan and make the best of it."
-------------------

In the Central Room

"If we take the City Building we will rally the people to arms. Tripolis is the largest city in the provience third in the empire if we take it we will control the city and encourage others to join our cause", Derek heard from a familiar voice.

"No", Mr. Sloan said, "We will only control the city once we force the military commander to surrender. The City Building means nothing. We should focus on the transportation networks. If we can cut supply lines we can drain them of men."

"Look!", shouted Jake as he ran in and switched on the TV.

"....the Third Army is engaged in full combat with the Rasharnia Proviencial Reserves", said the news anchor. "It appears that the Third Army has defected to the side of the Underground and is trying to eliminate the emperors control on Rasharnia. General Carter has long being known for questioning the Emperor but never thought to be a traitor but things show otherwise today as the Third Army is engaged around the provience killing loyal troops of the Empire."

Derek perked up, "That must have been what the Section Leader meant by 'Cavaliary' a few weeks ago in the planning meeting."

"Yes, but that doesn't mean it is at full strength not everyone will follow the General through treason and more who are still loyal to the emperor. You also need to consider the other nine Imperial Armies and Reserves. One army gives us a slim chance of winning this.

An organization known to ESI only as Firence 9 had established itself several months ago under the auspice of businessmen. The group comprised a total of 250 operatives operating in the Provience. The operation was classified in itself, and the goals of the group remained unknown. Just a few months earlier, they successfully received their shipment from the black market. This was an assosrtment of crates containing guns and other equipment. They knew something very big was happening now. They knew that there was conflict among the social groups here, more so, now there seemed to be a civil war brewing. They received the word from their handler, infilitrate or find out the hierarchy and it's leaders, and the cause behind the disintigration of order in the provience.

The Operation in Rasharnia was about to take a turn.

The 250 in the working cell were scattered throughout the province, doing otherwise legitimate business, although using forged profits and sales records, where required. The group had gone as far to buy a farm property as detached from the sprawl as much as they could manage on the short notice of a year.

Thier eyes and ears, and listening devices, were open to attempt to pick up any leads on the recent events.

The Emperor sat in his seat as the briefing continued. His generals were so proud to moving their troops and sending them into combat most had never seen real combat since the early 70's. "Emperor, martial law has been enforced in nearly every corner of the empire, with the exception of Rasharnia, and General Carter."

"Very well, General Norman. But martial law will not stop this insurgencey from striking again. They are like wild animals in a corner they will strike and strike hard. They are in the fight of their lives and we must make sure they lose. They will not stop fighting until each and everyone of them are dead...", he finished staring off at his picture of Fredrick Niehzsche. "These people are but a hinderence to our glorious rise to dominance. They will make us stronger and help prepare for our future role in the world."

"General", he continued, "I want the Underground movement weeded out of Tripolis through whatever force is necessary, don't worry about,... collateral damage, just get the job done."

*Machine Guns firing in the background* As a reporter speaking into the camra, "What was meant to be a convey of cars going to work has turned into a flaming warzone. Car bombs went off just past this security checkpoint a little under an hour ago, and armed militia stormed the dazed soldiers, now they are fighting the Tripolis Reserve Corps in a heated fire-fight."

Derek was hunkered down behind the concrete barricade, thinking, I should have listened to dad and let Jake get himself killed. He then heard over a megaphone, "Boys give yourselves up and we will show you mercy."

Jake looked up at him, "Lets do it, at least we won't be dead", he said in a paniced voice. Without thinking Jake yelled, "I surrender! I surrender!" Crawled on his knees and raised his hands, then stood up putting his hands behind his head. Two other boys followed suit and walked out from behind the barricades.

Derek could not help but be disgusted at Jake. He had been the one who wanted to take the fight to the enemy and now he was the first to give up. This was to be a simple hit and run but that hadn't worked out now Derek and Sam were fighting alone for their vary survival. He looked over for a second then saw a flash, and a bomb went off. He couldn't hear anything but saw to F-16s fly over. He hadn't noticed but he had been thrown about 30 feet and his knee was bleeding. Sam came over and helped him up and pointed back toward the barricade that had splintered into millions of peices. Behind the smoke he could see dozens of civilians fighting hand-to-hand the remaining Imperial Guard.
------------------------

Back at the Underground Hidout Derek sat there slowly getting his hearing back and his father was bandaging his knee, "That will have to do until we can get you out of here."

"What? I want to stay and fight or at least help."

"No Derek, you will only slow us down. The city is in a riot Underground and Imperial Guard are fighting all over. This is one of the last hideouts we have left and it won't be long til they find us. The Imperial Guard has also removed all restrictions they are now shooting and asking questions later. The city is on lockdown so you and your mother will be going out through a supply truck that we stole from the Guard along with several other families. They don't care who they kill whether you surrender or not they will kill you. You will be the oldest male on the tranport if anything goes wrong your to keep the others safe."
