Near the City Center
Clutching a Mac-10 in one hand and holding up his large, baggy pants up in the other, a young man, probably in his late teens, ran down the nearly empty street. Another volley of rounds impacted with the wall a few feet from him, but he kept running. Finally, he arrived at a barricaded building and punched through the nailed pieces of wood, sending a hail of wood fragments which showered everything within ten feet of the door.

Another young man, this time holding a M9 pistol appeared from around the corner.
"Man... you almost scared me. You ain't no enemy, but I thought you wuz."
"Nah man. You green."
After that, they both laughed until a large man, flanked by two bodyguards and made noticeable by an oversized dollar bill sign, a social class distinction, which he wore on his necklace.
"Daddy Mack... hey man you know how we are... he's my brother from another mother. We ain't mean no harm."
"You ain't fooling nobody. Both of ya, get in the Pimp Busta."
The Pimp Busta, a white Cadillac Escalade, which was equipped with all the latest hydraulic and bass systems, was parked outside. Once the five of them entered the 'Pimp Busta', the vehicle began to move and give away its presence by the combination of its distinction in such a ruined urban landscape and its loud, oversized bass system.

A rival faction, who wanted control of the city center, lay in wait for them.
"I can hear 'em coming. You got your Uzi, Mac-Daddy?"
"This ain't no Uzi. It's a Mac-10 fool."
"Man. You green."
"Hell no. You green. You so green, your momma thought you was a piece of grass."
At that moment, 'The Pimp Busta' turned a corner and was only a few dozen feet away. The two stopped arguing and opened fire on the vehicle, causing it to explode.

Dockyards
Several Cadillac SUV's crashed through the gates of the dockyards and about a dozen gunmen jumped out of the vehicles. The rival faction that controlled the dockyards took advantage of the fact that most of them did not have cover and opened fire with homemade rocket launchers and Browning M2 Machine guns. The Cadillacs exploded and left none alive.

A second group was coming through the other side of the dockyards at the same time this happened. They crashed through the gates, killing the two guards in front of them there and get into the building where they thought the enemy was. Proceeding up the stairwell, they killed all of the enemy stationed on the roof of the building, while only suffering one casualty of their own.
"Big Blingz is gonna be happy wit us."
"Yeah. Maybe he's gonna give us a few wives and a hottub and a privite plane..."
"Man... you already got two wives and five of 'dem slave girls."
"Yeah man, but I want more."

A few minutes later, yet another group arrived and leveled the entire main dockyard building. The dockyards changed hands at least 15 times in the course of the morning.

Police Station
There were only three Police Officers left on duty. The others were either dead, dying, or had left to get higher paying jobs with the various warlords in the city. All three of the Police Officers were now struggling to regain the file room and the first floor, as they both had been taken over by enemy gunman.

An explosion rocked the building.
"What the hell was that?"
"My last gre..." He didn't finish. A sniper had shot him and now there were only two Police Officers left on duty.

The firefights went nonstop that day. As they had the day before that and the day before that and the day before...

"Sir I know how you want to help this nation out but the council feels this is a very uninformed move. This is different from the other civil wars that have been cropping up. All we can confirm is that Warlords rule some areas of the country and do not seem to be at all diplomatic. Some of our analyst believe that whatever is left of the old government is either dead or joined some of the Warlords" said High Council member, Andrew Garcia. He knew that the High Council almost always agreed with the High leader but the situation down in that country was damn right deplorable. They'd be walking into a death trap with all the fighting.

“I know. I've heard them say that this unlike any other civil war. There are no formal governments. It’s a free for all brawls that innocent people are being slaughtered in. I'm going to help those people" Aimless said looking at the other members in the room. They all, hesitantly, gave support for a military assault. Almost immediately the military advisors where called and plans where starting to be drawn out. OPERATION: Eliminate Anarchy was now a go...

OOC: Do you have like a map or anything of your country around somewhere >.>

Warehouse District
Two Sherman Firefly tanks moved down the street with a dozen armed gunmen on each tank. They both turned a corner and proceeded down the small ally in between two warehouses. As they neared the end, a group of gunmen on the rooftop opened fire with homemade rocket launchers and Molotov cocktails. Several men were running around on fire when several more gunmen appeared around the corner and opened fire on those still alive.

Holed up in a large apartment building, one of the warlord's forces were currently engaged with another warlord's forces. The second warlord had launched a large attack on the apartment building to try to kill the warlord, however a third group thought the large movement of gunmen was meant for them, so they engaged both groups of gunmen.

Main Airport
A group of helicopters, which were obviously homemade, proceeded towards the airport. One, due to a leaking fuel tank, caught fire and exploded, but the others continued. Anti-aircraft guns opened up on the gunships and two more exploded. The homemade helicopters returned fire and began to descend. Five more exploded before they touched the ground. The gunmen stormed out of the helicopters and engaged the rival faction, but the anti-aircraft guns were turned on them and they were all killed.

Ministry of Education, 2 miles from the Airport
The remaining members of the government now stood around several picnic tables. They could not afford chairs.
"Police Station #5 is lost!"
The group was too depressed to respond.
The lights flickered.
"We don't have anymore fuel. We have to turn off the generator."
The lights went dark in the building.
Then the shooting started again.
The members of the government took up their weapons as they did not have enough manpower to defend the Ministry of Education.
A volley of bullets sprayed through the thin walls of the Ministry and the Adviser of Public Transportation lay on the floor bleeding with three bullets in him. Having run out of morphine weeks ago, the Adviser of the Police was forced to pull the bullets out of the man without the man having any relief from the pain. Once the second bullet was removed, he died.

The Government Center
A group of gunmen unleashed mustard gas on The Government Center and killed the rival group holding that area. Then, wearing gas masks and chemical suits, they claimed The Government Center for themselves. Another group of gunmen attacked soon after, but died as the mustard gas did not disperse completely.

OOC: Do you have like a map or anything of your country around somewhere >.>

OOC: I tried making one, but the thing is a huge city, so I gave up. Just ask me something about it and I can tell you.

The Spire, Magna Polis-

"Street rats!" shouted GRIFFITH-II as he power-walked from his office to his elevator. "Running a damn country!" he continued, as soon as he stepped from the elevator at the floor of the Military Affairs office. He opened two large oakwood doors, and the room he entered had reflective marble flooring, numerous desks and an equal amount of men in Military Officer Uniforms. "Slaag! Buwan! Briggs!" he shouted, dwarfing the talking of the numerous military high command officers. The room fell silent. Quickly, three men with ludicrous amounts of medals pinned on them arrived. They were Heinrich Slaag, the Special Tactics Force Commander, Erane Buwan, the Commanding Admiral of the Navy, and Tyronne "Tootall" Briggs (Who earned that name by being seven feet tall), the Commanding Marshal of the Army. "Forces. Third Ward. NOW." said GRIFFITH-II, suppressing a vain popping from his neck.

In each of the GWO Provinces near the Third Ward, troops were suiting up, planes were refueling, and the churches were flooding with visitors. The Marines would be sent in to establish an initial foothold, the Army would move in to tame the nation to a manageable state, the Special Tactics Force would deal with ultimate strongholds, and the Federal Guard would not only enforce the law, but assist the army.

Several Hippo-Class helicopters, protected by F-35s and Commanches, began taking off for the Third Ward, ready to fight the so-called "Street Rats".

Greetings, peacekeeper of the Third Ward. It has come to our attention that your nation is overrun with street gangs, a common scum. We are currently deploying forces to your nation to wipe out these groups, and establish law and order until the nation's government can recuperate.

Zackaroth was on it's way. Already departing from the home land 2 Champion Class Super Carriers moved out along with 4 Iowa, Ajax and Hector Battle Ships. 10 Ticonderoga Class Missile Cruisers, 5 Daring Class Air Defense Destroyers, 5 Arleigh Burke Class Missile Destroyers, 4 Brandenburg Class ASW Frigates, 8 Seawolf,Virginia, Allegro Class Attack Submarines and finally Ohio Ballistic Missile Submarines.

This seemed alot for going against a nation that had no "real" military but Zackaroth was not taking any chances. For all they knew the navy could have munitied and was now in control of the coast. They plan to take or destory the dockyards and atleast take about 2 miles of lands to set up a safe zone for civilians and for the military to set a staging point. During this, a squad of F-40s would be launched at the airport and any and all restiance around it. Only a few miles left to go...


Once the huge city/country was in range, 40 F-40s Birds of Prey left there cozy places on the deck of the Super Carrier Green Freedom. They flew over the ocean and headed torwards the Airport. " Ok guys. Lets clean up this mess and go home. The satelite photos we saw at the meeting show what may be AA batterys around the airport. If we have to, we will level the whole airport" said the squad leader, Vinny Astroni. It was time to see what these bastards had up there sleeves.

Meanwhile back to the fleet...

5 AH-73 Cherokees lifted off the deck of the Green Freedom and headed for the docks, preped and ready to shoot anything that so much looked like a threat on the docks. It had begun at last, It was time to live up to the operation name and elminate the anarchy from the country/city.

Four dozen homemade jet fighters (http://www.saaachapter11.com/web/images/stories/Events/panther.png) were sent from a small airport once the helicopters were spotted by several offshore fishing boats. Two of the homemade jets collided with each other when they lifted off and one more had problems with its fuel tank, which caused it to explode.

At least three thousand separate gunfights were occurring in the city at this time. Entire apartment blocks had been exploded and the government-in-exile was taking heavy losses in the Ministry of Education. Sherman Firefly tanks, the former main weapon of the government's military, were now being produced in several different locations around the city thanks to the sale of the production plans. Hundreds of homemade rifles and mortars were also being produced every day. Millions of civilians were dead over the last few weeks of intensified violence and thousands of gunmen, normally the only job one could get in the city, were also killed.

The copters had gotten advanced warning of the jets coming after them. They had turned around and retreated back torwards the carriers. The Daring Class Air Defense Destroyers crew was laughing though. When they saw the jets they knew they would have this in the bag. They aimed there weapons at the groups of plane as they came closer and fired there some of there MBDA Aster missiles at the planes, knowing that this would defenitly screw up anybodys say in planes like that.


When the F-40s came closer to the airport and began to attack the AA aircraft sites nearest to them, hoping to surpise and destory those who had taken sanctuary there.

Off the Coast
The jets attempted evasive maneuvers, but several ended up losing their wings and as a result, spinning out of control and crashing into the ocean. The rest were hit by the missiles and all were destroyed.

In the waters close to The Third Ward, everything that could float was literally turned into a warship and were engaging 'warships' belonging to different warlords. The smaller row-boats and rafts were fitted with one or two machine guns or rocket launchers, while the larger boats were fitted with unguided missiles and heavier machine guns. Dozens of explosions were seen off the coast as night fell. The oily sea blended in with the starless sky.

At the Airport
The F-40s took the airport defenses by surprise. The gunmen at the airport were attempting to fend off an assault from a rival warlord when the jets arrived. The majority of the anti-aircraft sites were destroyed in the first sweep, but the rest were mopped up after and none were able to track the fast-moving jets.

A private plane, one of the only working planes left at the airport, was now heading down the runway. It contained a major warlord, his slave girls, wives, loyal bodyguards and prisoners.
The airplane was full of cigar smoke as the warlord lay being pleasured by his slave girls.
"So where are we headed?", asked one of the bodyguards.
"Relax man", the warlord said as he looked down to admire the physical beauty of one of the slave girls. "I know a place. Somewhere offshore. Used to be a mining platform or something like that."
Just then, the pilot turned on the loudspeaker.
"Sir, some jets came out of nowhere and just..."
"I don't care! Get me the hell outta here!"
"Yes sir."

In a basement, near the City Center
In a room that smelt strongly of pipe smoke and brandy, several bearded men sat around a table smoking pipes.
"The Soviet Union is a poor example of that! Socialism-in-One-Nation isn't real Socialism." One said with a slight French accent.
"It is generally agreed that the Soviet Union is a prime example of Socialism."
"Nonsense! The Soviet Union only succeeded to representing a very limited Socialist platform."
"But it is Socialist..."
"Gentlemen", a stern womanly voice penetrated the shadows of the room, "That's enough arguing for one night. You can figure out how to rule this country after you finish your dinner. Hurry it's getting cold."
As the men walked through a passageway to get to dinner, they passed a large sign on the wall. It read:
Freedom! Equality! Property! Protection!
Join The Third Ward Democratic Party
and
Reinstall Democracy
End the absurd rule of the warlords!

Only several of these Third Ward Democractic Party cells still existed and all were underground. The rest had been eliminated by the warlords, but the ones that were left turned into large communes and offered protection to innocent civilians.

Greetings, peacekeeper of the Third Ward. It has come to our attention that your nation is overrun with street gangs, a common scum. We are currently deploying forces to your nation to wipe out these groups, and establish law and order until the nation's government can recuperate.

Since internet service was down in all but very small areas of the country, the message bounced back to the sender.

The fleet of Hippo-Class choppers were over the city now, and the chaos below was visible. The city below reminded them of Magna Polis, or rather, what it would look like if it was overrun by street gangs. Luckily, civil rights didn't prevent justice in the GWO, and gangs were practically unknown. Or they died the very next day after they were founded.

"There's some territory outside of the city without any buildings, it's kind of a field, most likely an agricultural center. It's also within this nation's boundaries. Land there." said the pilot of the leading Hippo. The helicopters started landing, and as soon as they touched down, men rushed out to set up a temporary base. Meanwhile, the Marine Corps prepared it's Divine Tiger Heavy Battle Tanks and suited up the infantrymen so that they could recapture the outskirts. The escort F-35s began flying over the city, and a non-explosive rocket was sent into what was believed to be the Government's location. Inside of it was a container with a note, and the note said, "You'll see us around, liberating your town." Yes, this was made to sound poetic, and non specific. Meanwhile, the F-35s spotted several homemade jets (Not the ones attacking Zackaroth). "What the hell are those? Those look like prop planes!" one of the pilots said into his radio. "Requesting identification for aircraft spotted over city." was sent to the homemade fighters, which hopefully would have radioes able to recieve it.

As the afternoon faded into the darkness, the Zackaroth fleet was still as standing strong. Most of the makeship navel ships where laughable compared to what Zackaroth had in the waters. Whenever a ship would get to close or attack, the battleships would pound at the enemy ships with there huge guns.
Subs would continuelly harass the bigger ships from deep underneath the water by firing torpedo after torpedo at the biggest ships they could find.


Back the airport, Vinny spotted the private jet leaving the scene. He radioed a transmission to them. " You are ordered to stop now or you will be shot down! Your jet cannot match our speed and we will not heistate to kill you! If you cannot stop then you are ordered by the Zackaroth Army to follow us back to our naval units out at sea where you will be intergated and possibly given refugee status if you are deemed not a risk. This is your only warning" said Vinny. He really hoped he wouldn't have to shoot that plane.

We have noticed you have also taken an interest in restoring democracy and a civil state to the the country we ourselves are in. I propose we do a joint effort in helping clean up this mess. Already my forces have captured the airport and in a few hours withh be establishing a safe zone within 2 miles of it. We are also in the process of capturing the dock yards. I really hope we can work together and restore that country to a better and civil state.

Aimless von Strangaild, High Leader of Zackaroth

Off The Third Ward
The small ships were no match for real military boats and nearly all were lost, with the rest fleeing towards shore. Meanwhile, two dozen cigarette boats, each armed with a single torpedo, sped out to meet the battleships. They belonged to one of the most powerful warlords and would close the distance in between them and the battleships incredibly fast. Hopefully faster then the battleships could shoot. Then, they would fire on the battleships and destroy them.

The Airport
A transmission was sent back to the enemy jet.
"I am the President of The Third Ward. Shooting me down will be an act of war."
The private plane did indeed bear the Presidential markings, but meeting the man would most likely convince anyone that he was not in fact the President.

Ministry of Education
The firing stopped and the remaining government members licked their wounds. Three more Police stations had fallen, leaving only 8 more in the hands of government forces. Luckily, a dozen or so officers were able to escape and most made it in one piece to the Ministry of Education, which provided them with much needed reinforcements and some desperately needed ammunition.

The Docks
Several dozen heavy machine guns and unguided rockets opened fire on the planes. Four men were inside one of the buildings struggling to open two crates. Finally, one of them picked up a crowbar and managed to get it opened. The four of them all opened it and looked at the contents greedily: an Sa-7 MANPAD.

One of them was a former solider and had experience on how to fire it, so he readied the Sa-7 and fired it at one of the aircraft. Meanwhile, they managed to open the second box and get another Sa-7. Two of them took the other Sa-7 and two extra missiles and headed to the other side of the building. The gunmen behind cover saw the Sa-7 and threw out several dozen homemade smoke grenades, so the Sa-7 crew could move to a better position.

To: Zackaroth

We agree to the joint effort, and our Marine forces have just begun heading into the city's outskirts. We have a temporary base built in an Agricultural Facility just outside of the city. Also, we have Air Force owned F-35s in the air presently.


The Marine Corps units had finally recieved "Green" status to deploy into the city, and they did so. Leading the force into the city were the HPACVs, massive heavy armored behemoths designed for urban warfare. Divine Tigers followed closely behind, protecting the weakpoints on the HPACVs. Lightly armored vehicles such as APCs and whatnot were kept in the center of protective formations. Meanwhile, the Army and the Federal Guard prepared to rush in as soon as the Marines had a safe zone established.

((OOC: I'll be gone for a few minutes, I have to take care of my pets.))

It was indeed true that the battleships guns could not full hit a speed boat like that so instead of aiming for the boats themselves they lowered the guns to fire at the water infront of the boats, hoping to cause enough large waves to overturn them. Even if did not work, the fleet had sent out there own two dozen AH-73 Cherokees to attack and destory. They fired there machine guns at the long noses of the go-fast boats, hoping to cause enough damge to slow them down or destory them. The battle ships also started to use there SSTD Torpedo Defense System which would launch decoys in hopes the torpedos would get locked on them instead of the battleships. Each ship had twelve and each readying to fire 6 incase of a torpedo attack.

City Outskirts
The warlord at this sector of the city was not expecting any resistance to come from the farming area. Nonetheless, gunmen on the rooftops spotted troop movements coming toward them. Since there was no prior knowledge of anything coming that way, it was assumed they were hostile.

120 Sherman Firefly tanks and 60 Fahd APC's moved towards the enemy in a wedge formation. Amongst the city buildings, gunmen were setting up positions in alleyways, rooftops, and crossroads. The idea would be to hit the enemy at its weak points. Katushya rockets were preparing to be fired from rooftops and on top of trucks if the tank charge failed. The warlord's forces probably outnumbered his enemy's, but many lacked the training and equipment of their opponents.

Off The Third Ward
The large waves, by chance, capsized two of the speedboats, while the AH-73 Cherokee's destroyed six more and damaged two. Nonetheless, the speedboats were under strict orders to get the job done and they kept moving at the battleships. In expectation of more fire from the battleships, they began zig-zagging to attempt to throw the enemy off. Once they got 200 meters from the battleships, they would release their single unguided torpedo and then flee back to their bases on the coast.

The warlord's forces probably outnumbered his enemy's, but many lacked the training and equipment of their opponents.

The Divine Tigers spotted the Shermans and Fahds heading towards them, and began firing their dual 125mm cannons at whichever ones happened to be closest to where the cannon was pointed. The HPACVs began supporting the tanks with their larger 140mm cannons, as well as the 75. and 50. caliber machine guns. Numerous Marines jumped from their APCs to support the armored vehicles fighting the Warlord's vehicles.

Outside the City
When the tanks first took off, the charge looked beautiful. The dirt kicked up by the tanks that were rolling in near perfect formation was a reminder of a calvary charge. Then the enemy opened fire. The column pressed forward despite suffering very heavy casualties. The APC's tried to unload while they were moving, but many gunmen were not trained to do that and many got caught under the wheels of the still moving APC's. At this point, only four tanks were left and they were retreating. In the process, one of them had its engine overheat and the crew bailed out and put their hands up in surrender. The men left in the APC's in front of them did the same. The rest of the army was in a disorganized retreat to the machine guns belonging to the upset warlord.

During the battle, two of the Divine Tigers suffered severe tread damage, and about 15 Marines were confirmed killed. A Company moved up to detain the gunmen and sieze their weapons, which would be kept in the HPACVs.

The bulk of the force continued forward until they came within view of fortifications. Several snipers set up in various buildings, and the vehicles sprang forward at the machine gun nests.

Meanwhile, the Army and Federal Guard had begun to deploy in the area that was just taken by the Marines. More tanks, along with Federal Guard Patrol Cars (Which are lightly armored to protect against assault rifles) began their beats around the area.

Most of the battleships where able to move away in time from the incoming cigar boats but three of them had been hit by the torpedos and two of them seriously ruptured. Both where evauced of personal and going to be escorted home.

Once night had settled in the plan was to not let the enemy have any rest. Though it would level the docks, the commanders thought it better to have the remaining battleships destory the docks. Every two hours the battleships would bombards the docks and ever hour inbetween the jets would do fly-bys and attack them as well, making sure to keep the enemy on his toes...or dead.


Back the airport....

" Ok, "Mr. Presdient" I don't know if you noticed you have no country to declare war on Zackaroth. Now either immediately follow my group back out at sea or I will shoot you down. Your choice" said Vinny as he spun around the airport once more.
