In a large covered hanger outside of the Kasemanioan capital, Armori

The Commander of Kasemanioa overlooked the tanks. This was the origional assult force. 500 "Keypunch" light battle tanks in perfect ranks prepared to board the modify C5 Galaxies. They all had the bulky parachutes on that would allow them to drop almost anywhere in the world. The Commander spoke,
"We shall help those who need are aid! We fight for justice! WE HAVE NO FEAR OF FIDDLER'S GREEN!"
The men raised up a shout, and the tanks began to load. Three hours later the planes launched from their runways. Kasemanioa was entering the world stage.

The remaining members of the Templar Army fought bravely, but futilly. The ragtag army attacking them was just to numerous. The tanks they were using were old, but had obviously been upgraded. The leading member of the Templar Forces, Captain Celot, realized that it his country would almost certinally fall. He called over the radio. "How are we doing on AT rockets?"

The report was not good. The rapid launching rockets that had been holding back the assult were running out. Men hudling in their trenches were being picked off by snipers in armored buses that were behind the attacking tanks.

If only almost all of Edge's tanks hadn't been destroyed before they could be commited to battle, they would have a chance. However, someone had blown up the warehouses where they were kept. Celot heard the guy next to him die, mowed down by an AK. Celot piked up his rocket launcher and kept firing. He called over the radio, "TAKE AS MANY TO HELL WITH YOU AS POSSIBLE!"

Then he heard a sound from ahigh. Looking up, he saw 50 insanely large cargo planes. "What the hell..." He thought to himslef.

Sameui looked back at the nine other tanks in his, the lead, Galaxy. his speech (shouted over both tank and airplane engines) was short,
"1st Arial Assult Group, Panthers, we are the first of Kasemanioa's tanks to see action. Dulce et decorum est pro patari mori! See you on the ground!"

Sameui went into his tank and buttoned down the hatch. He asked the driver and gunner if they were both all right. He heard the roar of the wind. Looking out his periscope, he saw that the back of the C5 had opened. He shouted to his driver, "LET'S GO!"

The driver kicked the tank into full reverse, and they drove out into the air. Tanks were coming.

Celot watched the tanks free fall. He didn't know what to do. Then the command came from one of the few reamining Command Posts. They were friendlies. When the tanks were halfway to the ground, they engadged their parachutes. Then he saw that the terrorist army was shooting at them. Another call went out on the radio,
"FIRE FLARES, REDOUBLE ROCKET FIRE! MAKE SURE THOSE TANKS MAKE IT TO THE GROUND!"
Soon the air was filled with flares, and the remaining rockets flew thick. However, the terrorist army still got shots off.

Sameui engaged the chute at the right time, and soon the descent slowed. He opened the hatch and climed to the heavy machine gun. The gunner swung the turret to face the attacking army. The coxial machine gun opened up. Sameui joined in with the 50 cal.. The other tanks joined him. He heard the commander on the ground tell him about the sniper buses. He could take care of that.
Most of the Keypunch tanks landed safely. Then the real battle between the light Kasemanioan tanks and the ragtag assortment of modify enemy's began.
