It was a Age of War that had started in The Region of Xanadou. Grand General and Ruler of The Home Islands Asuka was in trouble as The world had turned Up Side down for The Ryou Black Islands.

On The Islands them selves, a Rebelion was starting, a Geurillia War like that of The First Civil War, but a new enemy. When Rei Nakagishima was killed in a Ill fated try to save The Rebel Democracy from doom, a Group of Rei's Fallowers formed a Spinter Group from the Ryouese Maoist Party. Known as the Reists, They wanted to return The Islands to Communist Rule, to The Time of The Maoists.

In Kurona, Isabella had given Birth to triplets, future rulers of a Empire falling apart. With The Foregin Devils in Control of The Ryouese Colonies (which was Ryouese still) and Asuka's Juta near death, The Ryouese Empire was falling before it could grow any more. Isabella and Hirohito were still in Control of The Imperial Navy, Air Force and Marines and also Declared that The Colonies were still Ryouese.

But one Nation was also coming into this: Greston.

Unlike the other Anti-Ryouese Nations, Greston wanted to end the Ryouese Plans to build a Empire, Not Out Right wipe The Ryouese off the face of the earth. But Then, killing those Ryouese in his own Land had bought him no friends from The Reists or From The Imperials and Asuka was useing it a propagana to say that The West wanted to Destroy Ryouese Culture and enslave The Ryouese.

In Short, Four Sides were going into War.

OOC: Can I join?

0800 hours, Ministry of Defense, Adrograd

The long and narrow marble hallway echoed with the hurried footsteps of countless military officials and officers. In an odd way, the underground complex seemed almost identical to a mall on the surface. In all directions Generals, Admirals, Sky Marshals, and aides walked toward their destinations in an almost robotic fashion. But today, startling news would reach the ears of the Volzgradien High Council.

Podpolkovnik Adrik ran like a rabid fox toward the ever looming blast doors that were the High Council entrance. He had just received shocking news, and now he was in a mad rush to deliver it. Of all days the comms have to
break, why this one, Adrik thought to himself as he handed the Red Guards his identification. After a few moments of hushed mumbling, the rather tired looking guard opened the massive doors. Wasting no time, Adrik ran through just as an opening appeared.

The blast doors were only the beginning of the High Council's bunker. Adrik now had to run down two flights of stairs, all guarded by the most strict commissars on the planet. Then finally he would be able to reach the fabled Council Main Chamber. He let out on exasperated sigh as he gave the Crimson Guards his identification. The guard looked at the papers for a moment before shaking his head. "Sorry, but you do not have the clearance to see the council. Come back when you are a Polkovnik." Now frustrated beyond words, Adrik handed the stern guard the note. The Crimson Guard stared in disbelief for a few moments before opening the doors. The two guards saluted crisply as Adrik entered the Main Chamber.

Despite all the fantastic stories of how the Main Chamber looked like, none were even close to being right. Instead of Corinthian pillars and marble floors, the entire area seemed to only be made of concrete and stainless steel. He gazed at the many terminals before an approaching figure snapped him back to reality. "Who are you? And how did you get in here if you're only a Podpolkovnik?" Adrik saluted quickly and handed the message to the General.
He read it over for a few seconds before gasping. "You're a good kid. I think you might just be up for a massive promotion." The General replied as he ran toward the other officers who were seated at a large table.

6:45 AM, GMNS Ares
Xanduo Sea, Xanduo

Admiral Riley Nigel Cradock stood in the conning tower's deck, deep in thought. The sky was bright, the seas calm and the sea life energetic. A few feet off to his side, a pod of dolphins swam in the wake of his massive superdreadnought, jumping occasionally. It was a beautiful scene, and for a time it made the 48 year old fleet commander forget that he was aboard one of His Excellency's Imperial Navy's finest ships, and that that fleet was partaking in war on a global scale. It was rare for a ship to go straight into enemy lines, even in peacetime, and Cradock took in the sights with a mix of happiness and melancholy. It was true, Ares' defenses were top notch, but even still he knew not when he would see the Grestonian home again, or even if he would.

The Republic, Internationale, and Jupiter Fleets hadn't stopped running since their victory in Cypron. After the Ryouese soldiers left, the three fleets refueled and supplied themselves, then after three days of rest took off to be some of the first to land on the homefront of Ryou.

The Lynion and Volzgradien air craft frequented the skies above as the Republic fleet mades its head into Xanduo. Cradock was rarely frightened, but knowing that twice now, his namesake had been the cause of the desecration of massive Ryouese fleets in which trillions of USDs were invested.

His thoughts were then rudely interrupted by the frightened, squimish voice of his firstmate, Admiral Peter Cripe.

"Sir, telegraphics reports that three thousand civilian innocents of ours have been murdered by the Ryous. Should we continue on and risk the other nine thousand meeting their fate?"

Cradock's thoughts, once happy only a few moments ago, were then fueled with hate and disgust. He showed utter disregard for the lives of any Ryou that would come in his way.

His order came out grim and gruff. But clear.

"Full steam ahead. I want to be at their first islands in little than an hour."

"But sir-," Admiral Cripe was cut off by Cradock.

"Now," he said. His eyes seemed to light up with hate.

8:02 AM, Eurofighter Typhoon Block 5
Skies of Kalbail, Ryou Black Islands

"It looks like the Ryous left."

Below the air fleet of three, it looked like hell. The land was ravaged by fires and the pummeled debris of once factories stood out above all rest. The land was nearly destroyed but a small force was holding it. Containing the fires, revamping the factories. Military bases were being erected. And it meant one thing for the Grestonian fleet.

Allies.

"Send out a message to them, Woodrid," ordered the head of them, Patrick Anderson

"Yessir, right away."

He flipped on a few controls and put the radio signal to the same frequency as the one below.

"This is the 3rd Air Fleet of the Republic Fleet, straight from Greston. Do we have clearence to land?"

The three Eurofighters dived down and landed.

A decorated pilot with the rank of Captain walked into the meeting room.

"Honorable and noble ladies and gentlemen, if I may please have your attention, I have been sent on a special mission on behalf of my Commander, from the Republic Fleet of the 1st Battlegroup to this base, to make a presentation before all of you. I am deeply eenjoyed to have been chosen for this mission. Please, I ask you to listen to my message, please grant me this honor:

Recently a developing nation was recovering from a large scale revolution, the Imperial Republic, in kind, greeted them. Then this country was threatened by the vile Ryou Black Islands. Our nation offered to send several naval fleets to the poor country for military aid. The Ryouese bastards responded with a full scale attack on Grestonian civilization, launching lies and propoganda programs against our nation. They declared a state of war with our culture, not our military or government. They burned all of our literature, killed any of our people they could get.

The Ryou Island also recruited Kurona and other, undelightful scumbag nations to their cause. However we did not back down and we rallied great, valient allies to the cause as well: Ustio North, Liestung, Volzgrad, the Grestonian Commonwealth, Binaria, Pan-Arab Barronia, and Faxanavia.

The reason I am telling you this is that recently, after the rightful execution of 300 murderous Ryouese POWs, we believe that 3,000 innocent civilians of Grestonian desent were kidnapped and mercilessly killed by the vile forces of the evil, treacherous Ryou Black Islands at war with us. The flag of the nation was hung over 3,000 dead Grestonian bodies, kidnapped from Merchant vessels, from vacations, from peace corps mission, their lives taken away painfully and horribly. They have committed far worse atrocities than any yourselves can think of. Which is why I come to you with this proposal; your fleet, the Volzgradian fleet, and any other national naval forces we can gather will surround the disgusting, black islands and stop any foreign aid and any trading goods from going in or out. Large tarriffs of 50% shall be put on the products trying to get in, if they vessels do not pay they must leave. If they do not leave we can shoot them down. This will be a victory with far less bloodshed. We can win this war if your rally to our cause."

With that the pilot took a deep bow and looked at the audience with hope in his eyes....

We recognize communist rebels, especially those of Maoist or Juche thought, to be hazards ready to hurt the international community.

Three infantry divisions, one artillery division, and an additional regiment of Stalwarts (Special Operations Forces) were preparing to board several transportation ships, each destined to fight the Ryou Black Islands Maoist Party. In several hours, a task force had been thrown together at the large base that housed Army, Marine, Navy, and Stalwart personnel. The force was named Task Force Balled Lightning, whose goal was to protect the transportation ships and serve in a limited role in supporting ground operations against the Ryou Black Islands Maoist Party.

1200 hours, Former Ryouese Colonies

The relative calm of the now occupied Ryouese colonies was now shattered by the news. Only mere moments before, the Volzgradien 22nd and 31st Motor Rifles had been ordered to rendezvous with the 5th Aerofleet. Despite the vagueness of the orders, everyone knew what it meant. A full scale invasion of the Ryouese Homeland was green lighted. Thankfully, both of the regiments stationed in the colonies had drilled this invasion very often, so there was surprisingly little chaos during the advance.

Fortunately, a large Grestonian fleet was already attacking the Ryouese bastards head on. Even better was the fact that the fleet was being headed by the now heroic Admiral Cradock. With the attack already under way, the Volzgradiens would not reach the islands in time to aid the Grestonians. However, they would certainly participate in the main landings. After 3 hours of hurried packing and loading, the massive Aerofleet was beginning to take off.

It was now or never. They would crush the Ryouese threat once and for all.

President's VC-25, Leaving Roma V

Foulke sat in the briefing room, talking with the Army, Navy and Air Force Commanders via satelite phone

"Do we know the size of the Ryouese forces?" he asked

"Not as of yet sir, no" replied Walcott, the Army Chief

"Right" Foulke thought a moment "We'll deploy our troops as security for the Grestonians. This is their invasion, after all"

"Aye sir" said the joint chiefs, before switching off their monitors.

OOC: Tag. Greal

TO: The Ryou Black Islands
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion, Hell Knight Guardians

I wish to state that the colony we took from you is no longer yours. The colony is now under Lynion control with the Hell Knights as it Guardians and believe me, a declaration stating its yours is like dealing with fire. With this, the Hell Knight Guardians will side with the Coalition Forces even though we are few in numbers.


Report:

20,000 Hell Knight Guardians were preparing for an attack on Ryou Black Islands. They were to fight alongside 5,000 Vamperial Union Knights, 200,000 Lynion Hunters and an unknown number of Lynion Assassin's but it is expected to be in the thousands. They are expected to be transported by the 3rd and 2nd Lynion Aerial Armadas.

Total: 270,000

TO: New Greston
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion, Hell Knights

It has come to my attention that you intend to invade the Ryou Black Islands. In response to this, we are sending a force of 270,000 strong to assit you in capturing the islands. They'll be late but they will be coming and once there, they have orders to assist you in bringing down this idoitic nation.

Battle Group King Scott, Entering Xanadou Waters

Captain Bremner stood at the helm of the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carrier. Around it sailed three Ticonderoga Class Cruisers, two Iowa Class Battleships and several Tarawa Class Amphibious Assault Ships. They carried mainly Stryker IFV's and Stryker MGS's, along with the 5th & 7th Infantry Divisions and the 1st Medical Division.

Bremner raised the radio to his mouth

"All Personel, Hear This But Keep Working" he said, his voice echoing across the ship "We are now entering Ryouese Waters. Be on your guard at all times. Even with a Grestonian Invasion Force, The Ryou Black Islands are still the Wild West"

He put down the radio.

9:23 AM, GMNS Ares
Xanadou Sea, Xanadou

The sea was calm before Admiral Cradock, the waves glistened to the reflection of the sun. It made a beautiful sight, one worthy of being studied and loved, even worshipped. But hours later nothing like that could be said about the see. The water would be litter with the bodies of Ryous and a few Grestonians alike. Blood reed would be the new colour of it, the murkiness would cover up the sand you could see through the perfectly clear water. But despite all that, Cradock was proud. He was proud because it was his destruction to keep and furthermore, it was the destruction of the Ryous.

But quickly came the frantic, hurried voice of his first mate, Peter Cripe, "Sir, telegraphics has once again come in with tell of a Volzgradian, Lynionian, and Ustion deployment towards these parts."

"Good child, you worry me sometimes. Why are you so frantic, mate?"

Admiral Cripe sighed and pulled his head back up, "Thinking upon the subject, well, the Ryous outnumber us a great much an-"

"You are well aware of the fact that we have the element of the sea as well as the air. If we can weaken them enough with those two, conquering the ground part shall not be two hard of a task," cut in Cradock.

"Yes, I know sir, but they 40 million soldiers to waste on us! They also have AA's, AShM's, every kind of missile that is anti what we have!"

Cradock stopped and thought. Then his face began to glow as he said with joy, "We have range!"

OOC: quick post to side with Gres. I'll have an IC post in a couple of hours.

1600 hours, VAS Retribution

The lumbering shapes of the 7th Volzgradien Aerofleet slowly neared the ominous outline of the Ryou Black Islands. They were flying at a surprisingly low altitude which would explain the Ryou's apparent obliviousness. Even though intelligence reports were few and far between, it seemed the bastards had the majority of their force engaged against the Grestonians. If all went smoothly, they would be able to drop off the Volzgradien Land Forces and establish an encampment within 3 hours. For now however, they could only pray that the Ryou's wouldn't notice.

This invasion would also be the trial by fire for the newly produced Pavelov class Aerofrigate. While the Aerofrigates were inferior to the much more powerful Venkov class, they were much cheaper, faster, and more simply produced. Probably the main difference is that the Pavelov class lacks the ludicrous amount of missiles that the Venkov carries. However, the Pavelov can carry four to six 152mm Howitzers which essentially makes them a flying artillery battery. If the Ryou's did have some AA defenses in the area, the Volzgradien Aerofleet was close enough to destroy them after they fired their first shot.

From the bridge of the Venkov class Aerodreadnought, Sky-Marshal Ulanov gazed at the ever approaching Ryou Black Islands. So far, the operation had gone without a hitch. Either they were all busy with the Grestonians or they were simply do dumb to notice a fleet of almost 1 kilometer long airships in the sky. For safety's sake, Ulanov hoped it was the latter. Around him, countless pilots, co-pilots, navigators, comms-officers, radar operators, busied themselves with their immensely important work. It was during these moments were a Sky-Marshal could have some peace and quiet. For a few minutes, he could escape a world of business and war.

52nd Tactical Bomb Group & 32nd Tactical Fighter Wing, Xanadou Sea

High above the blue seas of Xanadou, a massive armada of bombers and fighters flew over. Leading them were several KC-10 Extender Refuelling aircraft. Amongst the many aircraft flew B-52 heavy bombers and F-14D Super Tomcat fighters. Surrounding them were EF-111 Ravens, there to jam Ryouese Radar.

MacMillan sat in the cockpit of his F-14. He looked out of the side to see the sea below. It slid by like a map below him. As he flew, he could hear the radio chatter of other pilots. Discussing wives, girlfriends, the news and so on. No talk of what was going to happen soon.

"Pilots, check your planes and prepare for refuelling" the radio crackled to life "Falcon 1, you're up first"

"Roger that Iron Lady" responded MacMillan, "Moving to position now"

The King Scott cut through the Ryouese waters with ease. Bremner stood on the bridge, looking through a pair of binoculars. Up ahead, he saw ships. He turned to a member of the crew

"Ships up ahead" he said, looking back into the binocluars. As he did, he saw the flag of Greston

"Those are Grestonian Ships up ahead" he said to the crew "All ahead stop"

He picked up his radio

"Calling Grestonian ships, this is the Ustian Battle Group King Scott" he said into the radio

"Nice to see some friendlies in the area"

In International Waters, Headed towards the Ryou Black Islands


East Congaree's half-hearted campaign against the Maoist faction in the Ryou Black Islands came to an end shortly- before the ships were even four hundred miles off the East Congaree coast. The infantry troops and stalwarts in the ships were to be sent to the Roanoke Mountains Front to fight their own red rebels, with the ships to be docked at Port Savannah, Georgia province before the troops would be sent up into Virginia province. However, East Congaree's newspapers' anti-Ryou Maoist party comments escalated as a rally towel for other forces fighting them.

The enemy was in for some surprises. The Grestonians had it easy for the attack to come, the Island they were targeting was The island of Tanshisyui, The Largest island in the islands. The Size of Borneo, It was a Big Island. over 400,000 Army troops were on The Island, the Rest of The Army was at Shai, a City of 20 Million.

There were some Defenses, Shore Guns and Missiles were aimed at The Sea and Sky, More inland, Anti-Aircraft Defenses were hidden in CamoNeting, ready for enemy attackers to come and die.

The other Anti-Ryouese Nations were in for worse, they had to go over the other Islands, where there were more Anti-Aircraft Defenses. Most of the enemy would not be alive to reach Tanshisyui.

On The Beaches, Land Mines were layed down, waiting for the enemy to find them. Sea Mines, put down by Fishing Ships taken by The Army as Coastal Defense Boats (Since The Navy had gone to Kurona), were being used to make sure that Grestonian Landing ships would find then also.........the Hard way.

The Ryouese were waiting.

Xanadou Sea, Xanadou

"Everything seems to be in order. The allied coalition forces are falling right in place. Well then, location Mr. Cripe," Cradock stood proudly on the conning towers deck and waited for the second admiral's reply.

"We are exactly, um, 347 miles away from Tanshisyui. Our missiles can reach there easily," Peter Cripe said with a smile.

"Yes, and their cannot do the same to us. Well the men are ready, contact the Internationale and Jupiter fleets. In ten minutes the guns will blaze."

Cradock nodded Peter off and the sailor ran down to telegraphics. A few quick messages were sent out to all allied parties in moments. Cradock, still glowing with his marvelous plan in mind, braced himself as the first missiles streamed out of their guns. Tomahawks missiles to be exact. Ten thousand missiles from a combined volley, shot from the three Grestonian fleets.

Cradock let out a hardy laugh, he held his belly as the laughter streamed out. But then he fell silent and solemn. He became cold and grave. He drew out his pistol, a 9 mm, a pointed towards the heavens.

"A one gun salute for those about to die."

He laughed again and fired.

Kailbail Colony, Former Ryou Black Islands

"To all allied forces in Operation Stormbay, incoming message!"

Gather your forces behind the Republic, Internationale, and Jupiter fleets. Stay at range of 350 - 400 miles away from the islands and release missiles upon coastal defences. Once done consult Admiral Riley Nigel Cradock.

Kailbail Colony, Former Ryou Black Islands

"To all allied forces in Operation Stormbay, incoming message!"

The enemy had attacked, already, 2,000 Ryouese Soldiers were killed and most of the Defenses were blasted, But The Ryouese were fighting back, as they launched their own attack. Large Coastal Guns fired as 2,000 Long Ranged Anti-Shipping Missiles were launched against The enemy Grestonians in Hopes of takeing the enemy out with them.

"This is the HPS Justice, inbound for the Ryou Black Islands." A crackle of radio static filled the air before a response came in from the Faxanavian NAVCOM official back on the homeland. "Roger that. Proceed forward and meet up with the Grestonian fleet. Prepare to aid in any way possible." "Roger that, over and out." Admiral Johanas Luten slid the tiny radio back into its groove and turned to look out over the Xanadou sea. The Faxanavian fleet had deployed in aid of their fellow League members, the Grestonians. Now, the third Republican Fleet was outbound for The Ryou Black Islands to end another war with the Ryou. Again. He sighed, and reclined backwards in the chair. The third fleet was prepared to take the battle to the Ryou, providing support for the Grestonians so they could capture Tanshisyui and gain an important tactical advantage. Still, it looked like they needed an advantage. 400,000 men was a challenge to any army. He radioed out to the two Los-Angeles Class Ballistic Missile Submarines. On board, each was prepared to open fire. At the message of the Grestonians, each submarine opened fire with 25 Air Raid ballistic missiles- a long favorite of the Faxanavian navy and army, the Air Raid was a non-nuclear EMP missile which, when detonated, would release an EMP wave, knocking out electronics for miles around. These were targeted for the main military centers of Tanshisyui, and would, hopefully, strike massive damage. Then, from each of the 5 California-class cruisers, 8 Tomahawk Missiles launched, adding to the volley of the Grestonians in a second wave. The Spruance Class Destroyers fired their 8 Tomahawks, adding a further 48 missiles to the volley.

Having just awoken from a pleasant nap, Sky-Marshal Ulanov was definitely not in a good mood. However, he knew that now was the time for him to take command and lead. He had received a message from the Grestonian fleet a few minutes ago, and he was clearly embarrassed for his slow response. He quickly jogged over to the command terminal and began to reply. "This is Sky Marshal Ulanov of the 5th Volzgradien Aerofleet. We have received your message and are currently altering course. ETA approxiamtely 30 minutes. We will be linking up with Jupiter Fleet."

"Admiral Mavax," started a runner as he saluted a tall werewolf. "We are currently 500km's from the Ryous Black Islands and we're preparing to shell the enemy forces. The 1st Submarine Fleet has gathered with us alongside a transport carrier which is joining with the aerial armada,"

"Excellent private," smiled Mavax. "Climb to above the clouds, have the gunnry crews on standby and cut the engines so we're drifing. Order the Hell Knights to make preparation of a landing but none are to be taken at this point," ordered Mavax.

"Sir, looks like the Grestonians are hitting the Ryouese with long range cruise missiles" said a tentative crew member as Captain Bremner returned to the bridge

"Well, we'd better add some of our fire power to the mix" he picked up a radio "To Battle Group King Scott, time to turn this into a war. You are authourised to fire your long range cruise missiles"

The Iowa Class battleships opened up first, firing 26 Tomahawk Cruise missiles, followed shortly by a further 32 Tomahawks from the Ticonderoga Class Cruisers.

Submarine Task Group Bloodmoon, Xanadou Sea

Captain Spruce stood at the periscope watching the missiles being fired

"We'll add our firepower to this fight" he said to himself "Com. Weapons. Ready missiles two through six and twelve through sixteen"

The other two submarines followed suit, adding twenty four ballistic missiles to the barrage.

Forty C-130J's flew towards the Ryouese homeland. They had been fitted with incredibly sophisticated jamming systems and fitted together closely so that it was amplified by their closeness. The only con to this formation and protection was the limited troops that could be transported in one shipment, fifty per plane, which lead the group to be no more than a regiment sized, they would be positioned on a Riest controlled island, from there they would either become allies with them or begin land grabbing, and would also be reinforced by another regiment of airborne troops until their numbers were in division strength.

The individual Cnian Airborne Corpsmen (Cackie) was trained for five months in the worst conditions and drilled continuously. Their issued weapon was the CSI-2 (think Battle Rifle from Halo 3), it had three fire burst, automatic fire, and a safety setting. It had proven to be just as reliable an AK-47, but had a special magnification which allowed normal vision, red dot system, 2x, 3x and 5x zoom for the soldier, increasing his effectiveness. They were each trained and used four grenades and two claymores, and had a smaller variant of the LAW labeled Mini-Justice or MJ, to make up for their rather low firepower. Special teams were equipped with enough weaponry to set up small mortars and machine gun positions. Each Corpsmen was trained to build trenches as quickly as possible and issue a shovel, though these sometimes flew off or broke on landing.

The Cackie's armor was second to none as they were expected to come under fire from more numerous and more mobilized forces. They wore the CSIA-2b, which had a chest plate that stopped two .50 caliber bullets before becoming severely damaged or breaking completely, underneath this was two rolls of bulletproof vest, where were capable of lessening the impact from bullets to that of a small bruise, and if the main armor had broken completely they could stop a 9mm round as close as 10 meters away. The leg plating could take a single .50 caliber round before breaking, though the region that was hit would become severely traumatized, the soldier could keep fighting. The head gear was highly sophisticated, able to take .50 caliber bullets with nothing more than a small dent, the actual gear was over the eyes, ears, and mouth, they allowed for completely knowledge of the Corpsmen's unit, and also allowed for the commanding officer to quickly gather data from one sector of the battlefield and then gain it from another. However the strongest piece of armor on the suit was the two inch thick steel plates strapped to their forearms, these would be used to cover the eyes and vital organs encase of a charge was ordered and the Corpsmen's full body needed to be exposed to heavy enemy gunfire.

Heightened Corpsmen Grade 2 (HC2, equivalent to Sergeant) Redd Jenkins looked over from left to right looking around at his platoon and squad. The would probably not hit too much resistance as they were flying over during a battle in another sector, but he always prayed for his men no matter what, especially since the landing zone would probably become hot within minutes. He cracked his neck somewhat uncomfortable due to the heavy chest piece and propped on his helmet, "10 Minutes to go before initiation of parachuting, green code."

OOC: First off, no land grabbing. Me and Ryou have had this planned out and our basic rule is no land grabbing. I am extremely sorry to tell you this.

Also, for TLA, read the bloody posts. There is no genocidal plans. And can I have a link to where you legally claimed that military base? If you just claimed it, it would be a god mode being that we have surrounded Ryou and are establishing a blockade.

We ask you to leave the Islands for your own Safey, since The Grestonians might attack your base and we fear it might turn into a all out World War.

Assistant Defense Minister Bergmann read over the newspaper with growing concern, and wondered idly if The Ryou Black Islands would ever just live in peace with their neighbors. Of course not. He waved his hand at one of his aides, who immediately came running to his side, a telephone in his hand.

"Call the Chancellor and Defense Minister," he said to the man in uniform. "Inform them of the situation." The man ran off, dialing the portable phone as he went, and Bergmann finally had a chance to think. Supporting Ryou would mean supporting imperialism, and if there's one thing that scares me, it's an imperialist rouge nation with a nuclear capacity...

Bergmann picked up the red phone which lay on his desk and pushed the black BMC button, indicating a direct line to the Bundesmarine Command (the Navy). A carrier battlegroup or two deployed to the region should help quell any possibly of a Ryou resurgence in the area...

9:43 AM, GMNS Ares
Xanadou Sea, Xanadou

Cradock had ceased his laughing and assumed a seat at his table for a cup of tea. Admiral Cradock was always considered insane due to his three odd habits; the conducting of the guns as an orchestra, booming laugh during battles, and his addiction to sitting down at his Victorian Style table and drinking a hot cup of tea.

The calm of battle had come. Besides the constant, nostalgic sounds of missiles being launched from the allied coalition ships, and the back and forth humming of planes up above, the fleet was silent. The men kept quiet, watching in awe as, hundreds of miles off, a firework show on the coast of Ryou errupted.

Cradock gave a smug grin after taking a sip from the porcelin cup. But the grin was wiped off his face as he watch 2,000 AShMs come streaming at fleet. They were a ways bit off, but far enough to be seen over the calm, smooth ocean.

Cradock flew out of his seat and got his anti-missiles gunners up and ready. Up to the top of the boat, he stood barking out orders in a racous manner.

The gunnery hopped to life as the first missile drew near. Cradock braced himself, waiting for his death of a serious injury. But it never came. The missile tore apart above the surface of the sea, the wings plopped off and down into the water. The rest of the missile tore apart quickly and then it took a nose dive into the water 100 ft away in front of him. He made a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He remained calm and pleasant as the men around him cheered.

But that was until two missiles hit.

The first missile streamed foward and hit the bow, flames errupted out of it and it knocked a few men off their feet. It didn't worry them as much as the second missile did. It came past the bow and hit one of Tomahawk gunnery. It ripped the missile launcher right out of it place, take the metal, crew, and all in a fiery blast. The jolt sent men flying, one of them being the Admiral himself. He collided into a bench and wires but some men were so lucky.

They plummetted off the side of the deck. As they hit the water they either died or survived but were in extreme pain, until the propellers sucked their bodies in the fan which tore them up alive.

The ships all around faced it too. But luckily, their spot kept some of the missiles from reaching. But for the ones that did, they tore through the helm of the ships, brought down a once mighty Irondeck battleship.

Cradock was in pain but was fine all together. He watched in awe as missiles fell along with men. He flew up from the spot he collapsed and ran to the connings tower.

"Mr. Cripe! It seems the missiles have cooled down, get on the speakers and warm them back up!"

He looked brutal, his hair was fray and his eyes gleamed red. A hint of blood trickled down his lip. He looked mad, insane, and with hatred. All of which was true. His voice was much different than his normal one. His chest went up and down with his massive heartbeat

Admiral Peter Cripe hesitantly replied, "But sir, the TLA base. Those hypocritical bastards placed it right on the coast, where we aim to shoot!"

"Did Empress Isabella talk to them yet?"

"Well, sir, she did. Just like you asked her."

"Good. What did those fucking bastards say?"

"The TLA replied with a no."

"Well, the dear Empress said if they do we can do what we want. See if we can get them evacuate."

"Yessir," the first mate ran down to telegraphics to fill out his Admiral's request.


To: TLA Base Command

After much consideration, we have come to the conclusion that you must release all Ryouese citizens and evacuate your staff. It has come to our attention that you refused to leave in the face of Empress Isabella. She gave you fair warning and told us that if you refused to leave your base was illegal and we were allowed to do what we want. We do not want to bomb it as long as you hold civilians or as long as any staff is there, so please evacuate.


OOC: TLA, you do know all of the citizens were evacuated from Ryou? And we are not here for revenge or for genocide, your just acting like an arrogant ass and your not listening to one post at all.

The Lone Allaince troops would have been wanting off that base soon, because it was to be a war zone.

on a hill, watching the enemy base was a group of Geurillias, Reists, watching their target.

The TLA Forces had Kidnapped 5,000 Ryouese in the name of "Protection" sadly not knowing that a few of those "Civilians" (about 700 of them) were in fact, Reist Geurillias that were to work on the inside for the coming attack.

the TLA Base had weapons the Geurillias needed to fight Asuka and The Invaders, so it would be good for a attack on the base to steal the weapons for their war against Asuka and the Grestonian Allaince.

Looking out towards the island with a now burning coast, Cradock stood in triumph. Further intelligence came in that not only was most of the coastal defences like AShM's and AA's had been destroyed but over 30,000 Ryous were killed as well. Even better was that they were retreating deeper.

"It seems we have won our first battle. Gear up the planes for the second mission."

The aircrafts were geared up and ready to go. They were maily Eurofighters Typhoon Block 5's and a few bombers. The homeland had promised to fly in B2s upon confirmation of the coastal victory. And they followed up on their promise.

50 B2 Spirit Bombers came flying, gloriously above the fleet and awaited for their mission.

"Admiral Cripe, alert the allied fleets to send their aircraft with out party. Part One of Operation Stormbay complete, commence Part Two."

"Yessir," Admiral Cripe gladly listened and went down to telegraphics once again.

We have succesfully completely Stage One of Operation Stormbay. The excellent victory of this part of the mission has brought about Stage Two. Deploy your aircraft and have them meet with ours. If we can have another success we can move onto Operation Infantry Rain.

Vamperial Knight Commander Nightmare came onboard the bridge as Sonic nodded and returned to the radar. He was handed a telegram from the Allied Commander in charge of the whole operation.

"Listen up everyone," started Nightmare as he got the attention of everyone. "We just got word from Allied Command that we're to scramble a sizeable air force to aid them,"

Cheers went up around the bridge as Nightmare gave a smile for a moment.

"The Commander of the 60 aircraft will be Edward Jones," finished Nightmare.

The Reist Geurillas were soon getting ready for the attack on the TLA base. it The The Lone Allaince Commander had known NOT to see if the enemy would attack, he should have headed for his Homeland.

The Reists were useing Fishing Boats for moving weapons to the island the base was on. Mortars and Small Homemade Rockets and Land Mines were being loaded off in Coves on the Island. he Geurillia knew The Islands better then their TLA enemy. With insiders in The base, the enemy had seal the fate of the attack.

Useing The Jungles and Grasslands that was on the Island the base was on, The Reists were ready for the strike on the base, while Trucks were being moved to The Island from the Reist Main Base.

The Battle of Koso Island was on.

7:59 PM, Air Armada of the Coalition
Skies of Ryou, The Ryou Black Islands

The enlarging fleet was still growing, it had mainly Lynion, Volzgradian, and Grestonian air planes but planes from the rest of the coalition were being added. On the extreme left was three carrier planes, with over 30 Grestonian soldiers in each. They used their size to keep the rest of the air craft in line.

The radio of the first one crackled to life from the Head Telegraphics Office on Admiral Cradock's ship, the GMNS Ares.

"There is a significant amount of motion coming from around the TLA Base, depart the AAoC to examine it," said a RADAR Operation on board the Ares.

"Yessir, right on target."

The plane gently tipped its wing, taking care of its important cargo, and it splintered off of the AAoC. It took the flight over to Kose Island, it made sure though that it stayed outside of the ten mile hypocrit line that base established.

After circling above twice he saw what was happening. The Reists had chosen their first target. From a ways off all the pilot and commanding crew could see was the group gathering with their weapons.

"Those bloody bastards! Rose, tell the men in the back to gear up. Once they've done that, get on with command," barked the pilot. They did as they were told and in ten minutes the 30 Infantry units flew down to their position. They carefully walked over to the Reists and their leader, Colonel James Isaac, had his gun held in the air and on safety.

"I come in diplomacy, to blow the shit out of the TLA base."

8:15 PM, BMS Eisenseite
Location Unknown

Rear Admiral Jonas Thalberg was finishing his morning tea as a voice crackled through on the BMS Eisenseite's secure radio frequency. Generally, that particular frequency was only used in times of war, or national crisis, so the Admiral payed much more attention to the radio than he usually would.

"Rear Admiral Thalberg, proceed due north to the Xanadou Sea and support Grestonian operations on Xanadou. This mission is of the utmost importance, and the Bundesmarine Command has entrusted you with the command of the entire 2nd Carrier Battlegroup, as well as five divisions of the Bundesheer in order to accomplish it. BMC, over and out."

Thalberg stroked his beard. The Eisenseite was only a day's voyage away from Xanadou, but meeting up with the troop transports and escort ships not already assigned to him might take time, a luxury ill-afforded in times of war. He picked up the radio receiver and talked into the microphone, opening a channel to Seebrise Naval Base, the closest Leistungan base to his position.

"Seebrise Command, this is Admiral Thalberg of the BMS Eisenseite, requesting a full compliment for our airwing, over."

"Copy that, Admiral. SiK Sokols (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12987971&postcount=1) are being fueled now and will be en route in a matter of hours. Over and out."

The preparations would take a number of days, but when fully assembled, the Expeditionary Force would be able to put a serious dent in the defenses of the Ryouese Army. Admiral Thalberg had no doubt of that.

It has come to our attention that you refused to leave in the face of Empress Isabella. She gave you fair warning and told us that if you refused to leave your base was illegal and we were allowed to do what we want. We do not want to bomb it as long as you hold civilians or as long as any staff is there, so please evacuate.

"Wait so that really WAS Isabella?" Stavo said. "Yep." said the comm officer.
"Crap." "Pull back to the base walls, we're going into secure mode.""

Apologies, we were under the confusion of that we weren't even sure if it was in fact the real Empress Isabella, if the message is in fact true, then we will comply. Consider all previous statements my personal error. It will however take us 4 hours to make the final preparations. You can use the airfield for emergency landings in the meantime.
-Base Commander Stavo

"That's done now what," Stavo said after the message went off.
"Black Hand reports that some of the civies are getting restless."
"Any names?" "No."
"Increase security around the compound walls, I don't want them in. "
"Yes sir."
Stavo paused for a second.

"And since we're evacuating, all command staff get to the IowaVI." Stavo said.
"Yes sir."



OOC: Actually the 5,000 were more or less the local workers who were on base and a few who fled from other areas when the whole unrest started (They are the hidden rebels) The problem is is that TLA went on Radio silence on all local communications, as they didn't want to get tricked by one of the factions in the war. This meant they didn't hear the evacuation messages either.

PS: Don't underestimate TLA, where do you think those 25 intellegence people are. They're sleepers in the refugees.

ASD Command
Sir!Said an aide We may have a problem. We just got satellite info and well you can see for yourself sir.
the aide hands over a folder to General Puller
Great, just fantastic. replied puller were also getting warnings from LION not to declare war and the Hegemony is telling us to stay the hell away. Alright, turn our ships around. Send both fleets up to reinforce the ASDN Forces in the Deserted Territories.

Air Armada of the Coalition
Skies of Ryou, The Ryou Black Islands

25 Ustian B-52s and 25 Avro Vulcans joined the armada, supported by 30 EF-111's and 30 F-14D's

Captain MacMillan was amongst them. His F-14 was on the wing of a white Avro Vulcan.

"Gentleman, this is what we've been waiting for. This is why we are here. This is what the Republican Air-force spent 2 million dollars on. Gentleman, go out there and give those bastard hell." With that resounding speech, the admiral of the 2nd fleet stepped back to watch the show as 150 planes, 50 each from each carrier, began to lift into the air. 150 AF-17 Mudhen fighters, the pride of the Faxanavian RAF. Each was ready for combat on the Ryou homeland. As they began pulling into V formations of twenty five a-piece, the lead jet sent out its own radio message to the Grestonian coalition command below. "This is Bluebell 1-1 of the Faxanavian Republican Air-force. I've got a hundred and fifty fighters up here, chief, and I need you to tell me where to point them." Approaching the coalition air-fleet, for that was what it had become, the planes pulled into a circular formation, setting themselves up as the first line of defense against any enemy air strike.

HMS Surreptitious, Astute Class, International Waters 20 miles off Kurona, Xanadou

“Contact bearing oh-one-two, two screws light tonnage at twenty knots sir.” Came a whisper over the internal communication system in the submarine’s bridge. The Sonar operator had picked up a contact and had immediately informed the captain, drill or no drill the crew was expected to run at peak efficiency.

“All hands to action stations. Slow to ten knots, maintain silent running and up periscope” The Captain whispered back down the microphone. There was no noise, no real ruffling of clothing that gave away movement of personnel. The whole boat was deathly quiet and the only way one could tell that the submarines was at action stations was that the deck corridor and room lighting now bathed the interior in red.

The periscope was like no other in existence, a sensor and remote digital camera probe no bigger than a brick was released from the submarine attached by a super strong optical wire cable. It broke the surface of the sea and would not be detected by any radar screen or passing aircraft. The camera inside the probe swivelled in its little dome scanning the sea for the vessel while any objects spotted were scanned by the sensors and identified by the submarine’s naval library and super computer. The HMS Surreptitious herself was still around eighty metres under the water. The sensor probe was also now in direct contact with allied military communications satellites in the local space area and being in such close proximity to Kurona they got the best data feed and soon all communication traffic destined for the submarine began flowing into the computers.

“Confirmed, Ryou destroyer in my scope.” Said the captain. “Minimal anti-air capability, below average surface attack weaponry and one ASW helicopter but no mounted anti-submarine ordnance weapons. Continue with the attack, load tubes one and two, flood the tubes and open the doors. Fire on my command.”

[i]“Aye sir, loading tubes, flooding and opening the doors.” The warfare officer replied briskly. In seconds the assignments were complete and the submarine was ready to attack its target.

“Enemy destroy has not changed course but she has increased speed. No real sign that we have been detected, let’s continue as planned. Helm, starboard two degrees and come to an attack depth of forty metres.”

“Aye sir. New depth forty metres, steering starboard two degrees... Now at new heading one-four-one, new depth forty metres at ten knots sir. We’re in position.” The helmsman whispered, a few seconds past and you could here a pin drop as the captain revaluated the situation and whether or not he should proceed with the attack. He pushed a few more buttons on his scope acquiring more data from the probe on the target before making a decision.

“Fire torpedoes one and two lieutenant.”

“Torpedoes away sir! Countdown started.”
The digital clock appeared in the top right of every screen in the control room and in the Captain’s scope. On the warfare officer’s panel two dots representing the torpedoes were homing in on their target, the Ryou destroyer continuing on her course. With ten seconds to go the destroyer made a sudden course change as the torpedoes were discovered but it was too late and the contact disappeared from the sonar and below water radar search screen. There were a few pats on back and one or two words of congratulations but otherwise the control room was still silent. The captain smiled at the achievement but it was a false victory and not worthy of mountains of praise, it was a fairly routine thing the crew did.

“All personal this is the Captain Holt. The simulation is over and had it been real then the Ryou Navy would be one more destroyer short and we would not have been detected at all. You’ve all done really well today but remember never to get over confident, simulations are nothing like real life and this exercise does nothing but sharpen your skills a little better. Stand down condition red and action stations and remain at condition green until further notice. Well done again people.”

Soon there was a little chatter on the bridge as they were now allowed to speak again but they kept their voices as low as possible. They all knew there was a war on between several nations and their former Imperial ally The Ryou Black Islands and although they were near Kurona waters, the submarine had to remain as discrete as possible. The Stevidian submarine force was the most secret in the entire world, only top ranking military officials knew of the exact location of all of Stevid’s submarines and even then the locations were pretty vague. Only the submarine captains, like Captain Holt, knew the true position of the submarines in a certain nautical sector. The submarine fleet was huge and dangerous as more than 70% of it carried nuclear weapons allowing Stevid to deploy nuclear weapons literally anywhere in the world and get a front row seat in all nuclear engagements. The HMS Surreptitious was no exception to this and her location was one of the most secret of all not only because she carried fourteen Trident DXII missiles with four one megaton warheads each in her hull, but also because of the war being fought on the surface above her between enemies the Holy Empire had no quarrel with. The reason for the Surreptitious’ presence in these waters was not to monitor the war but to do what it had been doing for three years and protect the waters surrounding Kurona which is part of the Holy Empire and thus a great importance to Stevid. It would be unwise for foreign sea commanders to think Stevid would have naval assets in a region it was so friendly with just because there were no air or surface contacts. But now the HMS Surreptitious had a new mission that she had received from the data stream she had picked up when the probe broke the surface of the water.

Captain Holt lowered the periscope and went to his private console in the control room to read the data stream. The mission details were among the collection of personal mail, weather details, football results military unit positioning and a whole host of other important particulars. He read it with some relief knowing that the Admiralty rarely contacted submarines in case, no matter how unlikely, data streams were intercepted and so it meant his current orders were void. He knew he would no longer be patrolling Kurona waters and shipping lanes and it probably involved the war going on above his head. Holt skimmed through the message twice and with a barely noticeable smile jumped to his feet.

“All hands this is the captain. We are now at condition yellow and at a heightened state of military readiness. We have new orders and are to proceed towards the international waters surrounding the Ryou Black Islands… also…” He paused and licked his dry lips. He thought he’d never have to give the orders he was about to say but he had been ordered to and he knew the reasons behind it. “Our current nuclear readiness has been increased following Protocol 23. All nuclear missiles are to be triple checked visually and via computer, full diagnostics are to be run on the missiles, the launchers and the warheads.”

Several crewmembers in the control room looked at each other dumbstruck. They didn’t know what was going on and many thought that perhaps hostilities with the Golden Throne had continued once more but that didn’t add up with the order to sail to Ryou. Perhaps they were at war with Ryou despite the excellent political climate both nations had with each other.

“Once all the checks are complete then the missiles will be put on indefinite launch standby at condition red. Until then they will remain at condition yellow. I want the checks done as thoroughly but as quickly as possible… Helm, set a course for Ryou territory and inform me when we reach the international waters around the Black Islands. Best possible underwater speed if you please and deploy the probe, I don’t want to run into any surprises while we are in transit.”

“Aye sir, setting a course.”

“You all have your orders gentlemen so snap to it. As far as we are all concerned this ship is now in a state of war readiness. You will all get a full explanation in about two hours time when we reach international waters that neighbour The Ryou Black Islands. I will brief you all fully and we can continue our mission fully from that point on.”

Official Message to all Combatants in the Xanadou Region from The Holy Stevidian Empire

The Holy Empire has no official stance in this conflict and full wishes to remain outside of the war and exclusion zones set by all parties involved. However this conflict is in close proximity to Kurona and thus the conflict is exceptionally near Holy Empire interests. We cannot remain silent anymore and must voice our position. We will remain neutral during this conflict and credit to Kurona for continuing their honourable notion of remaining neutral in all military and political conflicts it finds itself in. However we needn’t reminded the warring parties that The ‘Empire’ of the Ryou Black Islands is closely allied with the Principality of Kurona which may put that country in the line of fire especially when members of the ruling government may flee there in the face of mass military opposition.

We therefore inform all parties that Stevid will not be sending additional naval or aerial support to bolster what forces we have there. It is not government or defence policy to inform foreign states of the positions of our military units but we can assure all combatants that we do have a contingent of two hundred Royal Marines in Kurona. We do not have any Royal Navy surface ships in the Xanadou region but fleet commanders would be wise not to discount the possibility of submerged naval assets which may, or may not, be nuclear capable.

This isn’t a threat but rather a friendly warning to all nations in this conflict. Do not attack or threat Imperial assets or partners in the Xanadou region, this also includes the Imperial Oil and Gas Works’ oil and gas rigs in Ryou waters that are currently being dismantled and their shore based refineries which are also being dismantled. Attacks on rigs, facilities and tankers will be seen as an act of careless aggression which should be controlled in a proper manner. All Stevidian military and civilian shipping and facilities fly the flag of truce and neutrality in this conflict and we would very much like it to remain that way.

Thank you for your kind attention and we would appreciate it very much if you heeded our words. We won’t hesitate to take full, and even brash over kill, action if these simple requests aren’t respected.

Again, thank you for your attention and we hope that we can remain on good terms through this conflict.

7:59 PM, Air Armada of the Coalition
Skies of Ryou, The Ryou Black Islands

The enlarging fleet was still growing, it had mainly Lynion, Volzgradian, and Grestonian air planes but planes from the rest of the coalition were being added. On the extreme left was three carrier planes, with over 30 Grestonian soldiers in each. They used their size to keep the rest of the air craft in line.

The radio of the first one crackled to life from the Head Telegraphics Office on Admiral Cradock's ship, the GMNS Ares.

"There is a significant amount of motion coming from around the TLA Base, depart the AAoC to examine it," said a RADAR Operation on board the Ares.

"Yessir, right on target."

The plane gently tipped its wing, taking care of its important cargo, and it splintered off of the AAoC. It took the flight over to Kose Island, it made sure though that it stayed outside of the ten mile hypocrit line that base established.

After circling above twice he saw what was happening. The Reists had chosen their first target. From a ways off all the pilot and commanding crew could see was the group gathering with their weapons.

"Those bloody bastards! Rose, tell the men in the back to gear up. Once they've done that, get on with command," barked the pilot. They did as they were told and in ten minutes the 30 Infantry units flew down to their position. They carefully walked over to the Reists and their leader, Colonel James Isaac, had his gun held in the air and on safety.

"I come in diplomacy, to blow the shit out of the TLA base."

The Reists Pointed their Guns, Nasi-23 Automatic Rifles, at The Grestonians "Nadi! Komora Boa Hais!" One of them said in Ryouese.

OOC: Ok, what's with the storefront?

OOC: What storefront! I don't see a storefront.

But really, I was making it and posted here by accident, I'm clumsy somtimes.

OOC: What storefront! I don't see a storefront.


:rolleyes:

"He said halt." a woman said, in Jungle Camo, She soon turned to the guard "Shabal, morda kimsyui." She said and the Guard backed down. "Fallow me," She said to the Grestonians.

The Reists soon started to prepare for the attack against the TLA Base. nearing it slowly. Artillery was being set up, mainly Homemade Rockets and Mortars that were light enough for being carried by persons and set up fast enough.

as The Reists were seting up, The Guerillias on the inside were soon prepareing for the Attack, setting IEDs near the roads heading to and from The base, while watching out for enemy scouts.

It was 9:00 PM, The Sun had set and now the Artillery was ready. Useing Flags, dipped in Glow in the Dark Paint, the Reists soon sent the word.

Fire at will.

Soon the Artillery fired, Mortars and Rockets were fired at the first target, The TLA Air Field.

1:11 AM, BMS Eisenseite
Xanadou Sea, Xanadou

The hull of the Eisenseite cut through the black waters at high speed, its compliment of escort ships and submarines following close behind. Each ship's reactors were being pushed to the brink in an effort to reach Ryou shores before a major engagement took place. The roaring engines of the Sik Sokols could be heard clearly from the bridge of the Enterprise Class (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12856645&postcount=72) aircraft carrier as they flew escort duties overhead.

Rear Admiral Thalberg tapped the GPS screen in front of him and picked up the radio reciever.

"Attention all ships of the 2nd Carrier Battlegroup, this is Admiral Thalberg, your commanding officer. We are currently five minutes away from Greston lines. On my signal, prepare to contact Grestonian ships via Morse code using your searchlights, and inform them that we wish to join the coalition. The Chancellor has already sent a message to Grestonian command, but it is unlikely that it has reached them by now. Exercise caution. Over and out."

Thalberg waved over one of the aircraft engineers operating on the bridge to his command chair. The carrier could carry 72 Sokol-7's at a time, but for this mission, only 65 could be requisitioned due to the logistical problems of fueling each plane so far from home. Fifteen planes were out on patrol, and that left fifty below deck, not including rotary assets.

"Lieutenant, how many planes do we have fueled and armed?" he asked, always prepared to scramble for an air mission.

"Only about forty right now, sir, but fifty of our thirty-two rotary assets (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13830268&postcount=591) are ready to go.

"Excellent."

The ships's clock showed 1:16 AM, and out the bridge's windows, the first Grestonian ship began to slink into view, and Thalberg picked up the radio again.

"All ships, begin signaling now," he said, flicking on the lights on the Eisenseite and pointing to the Communications Officer, indicating he wanted him to launch warning rockets. In the darkness of night in the middle of a warzone, he didn't want to take any chances--he needed to show that the mass of Leistungan ships was not on the Ryou side of the conflict.

Thalberg peered out the windows, waiting for some sign from the lead Grestonian ship.

OOC: Another quick post to show more ships en route

Hydria Naval Dockyard, Hydria, Ustio North

More Tarawa Class amphibious assault ships were docked in the harbour. Some were being loaded with MQ-10 "Praying Mantis" Unmanned Helicopter Gunships, while the 2nd Light Infantry Division and 4th Regulars boarded the others, hauling M500 Man Portable Miniguns, G36's and other standard issue weapons on board...

1:14 AM, GMNS Ares
Xanadou Sea, Xanadou

The lights coming from the Liestung fleet flickered over the Grestonian fleet. The ships crew hopped into action with Cradock barking out orders to his compliment, telling them how to take care of it and to find out what was happening.

Admiral Peter Cripe rounded the turn and ran over to Cradock who was standing near the stern of the boat. He held a few pieces of paper and envelopes. The pile overflowed out of his cradling arms.

"Sir, the lights are not of a threatening fleet. They seem to be talking in Samuel Morse's invention."

"Morse code aye? Found out what they are saying then! C'mon."

The first mate ran off again as the admiral turned around to gaze at it. He vaguely understood, all he could pull out was that they were allied. The firstmate came rushing back with a man next to him. The man was short and stubby with a gray, fraying beard. Cradock pulled him over and had him figure out the message.

The man turned around with a look of bafflement in his eyes.

"They be from Leistung, allied to our coalition," said the man in amazement.

"Good, man. Get me telegraphics, let them know about the Air Armada and fill 'em in on the rest of the missions."

"Aye, sir." The two soldiers ran off leaving Cradock to himself. He straightened his uniform and followed in toe.

9:32 PM, TLA Excusion Line
Koso Island, Ryou Black Islands

The squad strayed back from the Reists guirillas and terrorists. The soldiers were so used to fighting against them, not with them. But it would all change in a bit. They were armed with the usual, AK-104s and two Glock 17's. Their fearless Colonel, Colonel James Isaac, and their adopted fighter, Colonel Samuel Rose, both had the extra fire power of a Winchester M1897 slung across their backs.

Their mission was plain and simple, wipe out the TLA base. They had to aid the Reist Terrorists by blowing up the base, air station, fort, and all. But the assualt rifles wouldn't hurt. Well they wouldn't hurt the people weilding them at least.

Once the area that the squad had come to call the Parking Lot was destroyed a fire fight would pursue between TLA Base Defenses and the 30 Grestonians.

The Reists, being the cheating bastards they were, would blow up anything that looked slightly useful to TLA.

But, unknown to the Reist Fighters, once it was over, if they did not bow down to the Allied Coalition's power, they would be shot down like the weasels they were.

That was why highpower machine guns were established on the top of the hill, the area the group would meet back at once their job was done. At one point their cover was nearly blown when a Reists walked foward, baffled at the reason for a need to set up the guns.

"Just in case those bums chase us once we win."

1:20 AM, VAS Vengeance
Xanadou Sea, Xanadou

Despite many reports of heavy fighting, the Volzgradien Aerofleet had yet to encounter even the slightest bit of opposition. As per usual, the majority of the crew was in the mess room, drinking and gambling. Despite rowdiness of such activities, it kept the crews happy and stopped any chances of mutiny. It was surprising what vodka and cards could to do a man.

The original orders to land on the island had been changed. They had just arrived over the Grestonian fleet and were awaiting orders. The heavy cloud cover hid them and the fleet below. Every now and then, the clouds would leave, revealing the massive shapes of the airships and fleet.

1:50 AM, VAS Vengeance
Xanadou Sea, Xanadou

Having recently been informed of the Grestonian plan, the Volzgradien Aerofleet wasted no time in moving out. Around the lumbering forms of the airships, countless Grestonian and Coalition aircraft flew in defensive formations. With the coast just a few miles away, they would be able to start their deadly bombardment soon. With the majority of the air defenses destroyed previously by Grestonian naval forces, they did not expect much resistance. They would be able to strike with almost impunity from the skies.

Soon, the TLA would face the wrath of the Coalition's air power. By the end of the day, nothing would be left standing but a few charred husks and trees. Now was not the time for waiting, now they would be fighting the hated oppressor.

Nightmare was wondering around on the flight deck as a chopper loaded with Hell Knight Guardians arrived onboard the aerial aircraft carrier.

"Sorry about the delay boys but we have some new toys for you in the hanger so if you can go see them and report back," stated Nightmare as a hologram appeared next to him.

"Aerial Admiral Nightmare," it started. "I'm Vamperial Headmaster Lee and your commanding officer. I'm making this call because Lynion has just being invaded. Normally I request that the entire force return home but I know we can't just leave. So, under orders, The Hell Knight and the Ace Squadrons are to report to Volzgrad Forces. That's around 200 fighter jets and I want the rest of the armada to split up and protect the former colony of Ryou and the other half to return home,"

"It will be down sir," replied Nightmare.

The hologram disappeared as Nightmare turned around and threw a bit of metal over the edge. He returned back to the bridge as he picked up the radio headset and contacted the PA system on every aerial warship.

"This is Aerial Admiral Nightmare calling all aerial warships. As of today, we've being ordered to split the armada in half. Half will return to Lynion to aid our forces in driving off the enemy force that have plagued our lands while the other half heads to our new Colony Lynx to defend it from possible attacks and keep our supply routes opened. In addition, 1st and 2nd Ace Squadron as well as the Hell Knight Ace Squadrons are going to be folded into the Volzgradian Forces," briefed Nightmare. "I'm sorry but the Kingdom is in a crisis and we're doing our part,"

TO: Volzgradian Forces
FROM: Vamperial Order of Lynion, Nightmare

I've being given new orders to spilt the armada in half. Half to our new colony of Lynx to defend it and keep our shipping lanes open and the remaining half to return home and aid the Loyalists in regaining our kingdom that we have lost. However, not everyone is going. I'm going to dispatch several Ace and Hell Knight Fighter Squadrons to your forces. They'll be under the command of Ace Marshal Sonic with orders to follow your orders. If you can't then they'll be sent home.

OOC: More Planes en-route too...

Pelagious AFB, Pelagious, Ustio North

Eurofighter pilots climbed aboard their aircraft and took off from the AFB in waves of 3. They flew out over Grace Island to link up with the UNAF Vigilance, an Aigaion class aerial aircraft carrier. The vast carrier dwarfed anything else in the Ustian Air Force.

Vigilance would be the first P-1112 Aerial Aircraft Carrier to go to battle. She had been mainly assigned to patrol duties off the western coast of the country.

Sky Marshall Williams stood on the main deck of the carrier, watching the Eurofighters landing on the deck. Cameras on every side of the carrier showed off its many flak guns and AA missile batteries, as well as the landing deck.

He turned to the navigation officer

"How long untill we're ready to get underway?" he asked her

The blonde woman looked up from the digital table map

"We still have aircraft coming in from Pelagious" she said as little digital Eurofighters moved from Pelagious over Grace Island on the map "After they land it's a good 24-36 hour flight to the rendevouz with our the New Grestonian Aerial Armada"

"Okay, report to me as soon as the last aircraft is landed" he said to her "I want to get underway as soon as possible"

He turned back to the front of the carrier, and below he could see Amphibious Assault Ships from Hydria already well on their way to Xanadou.

OOC: Vigilance is visually based off the Carriers in Ace Combat 6, but it doesn't have cruise missile launchers, just so you know.

The Reists did not trust the Grestonians one bit, do that was why they had back up plan..........join the Allies.

What better then for a if you can't beat them, join them plan. helping the Invadeing allies would keep them from turning on them..........and to make sure thet allies bowed to The Reists in thanks.

aand to gain a few fallowers to Reism, if a few copies of "Rei's Blue Book" were to go into the hands of a few Allied soldiers and they read it.

In Short, the Reists hoped that the Soldiers who read The Blue book would soon bring Reism to their homelands, there it would grow and the dream of Rei's Plan, a World controled by The Red Flag of The Workers would soon wave around the world.

Back on The Main Battlefront

the Imperial Army had a few traps set up, now it was night. Army Scouts were digging a long Trench and a few fox holes for something.

Something that did not invole putting men in The Trench and Holes. But something else.

The Diggers soon finished and now started pooring Gas and Oil into what they dug and then covered it with a thin layer of dirt and then retreated as the Imperial Army soon showed what it was doing............by Starting Artillery Bombarbment against The enemy troops hat may have landed from CamoNets Tents, Anti-Aircraft Missiles wre launched from launchers deep inland and hidden in CamoNeting agaisnt The enemy Air Ships.

The battle would continue.

-TLA Base-
For a short few moments chaos rained down from the sky, while most of them were of small grade mortar shells and rockets. A few made some good hits in on several vehicles parked on the airfield. As well as disabling 2 F-23s that had been left out of their hangers. It was rounded up by a nice explosion from a Propane tank being hit by Rocket Shrapnel.
But the damage was mostly superficial, aside from 12 wounded of those who were outside at the time. There wasn't much damage.

TLA however would make sure the attackers would not get the same.

The Reist positions began to get bombarded by 5inch to 16 inch shells. And as the supressing fire rained from TLA's postion. Troops bunkered down for the inevitable attack.


OOC: If this is godmoding I'll remove it.

-City area-
At the explosion of the fuel tank one of the sleepers made his move.
In the bunkroom of one of the part of the town set aside for the refuggees one sinlge member stood up from his bed and snuck quietly to the door. The TLA recruit who was more or less there to guard the building was completely inattentive due to the distraction caused by the explosions. With such a clueless guard, it was almost too easy. It was in near silence that the Reist rebel grabbed and kill him. His AK-107 fell to the ground as he fell. With that done he reached through the soldiers hostler and grabbed the 9mm Glock as well. Then passing it back to another rebel behind him. As they snuck out of the building the 7 rebels quickly encountered another guard, this one was trained as as he spotted them turned to fire. The bullets went harmlessly past them and they fired a burst of their own downing the guard. They rushed by and grabbed his weapons as a whistle sounded, leaving him for dead as they ran to the next building.

Inside that one the rebels in there were already repeating the execution method on the other soldiers sleeping within. But when they got halfway down the line the civilian in the next bed sat up and opened fire with a SMG on the group of 16, bringing down 7 of them and causing the other 9 limping to flee the building. With that done the Black Hand soldier made his way to the nearby phone and repeated the alert that was already being sent to command. The scene repeated itself all over parts of the camp, some rebels gaining complete suprise upon the garrison, and in a few places getting quite a suprise of their own from the Nod Sleeper cell. But the outer area was a mess of canrage and chaos, with opponents often at hand to hand combat, which usually led to a rebel advantage. Base command was left with no choice but to call a retreat. And with a quick flash of explosions, several of the guard buildings on the outskirts exploded with from self destruct charges.

2:30 AM, VAS Vengeance
Xanadou Sea, Xanadou

The inky blackness of night now completely surrounded the approaching Coalition airfleet. They had been flying inland for almost an hour yet they had yet to encounter even the slightest opposition. Despite the clear threat from the skies, the Ryouese remained silent and hidden in the dense undergrowth below. For many of the veterans, they knew something bad was going to happen. This was the calm before the storm, the sunshine before the hurricane struck. It was only a matter of time.

Aboard the Vengeance, the mood couldn't have been more tense. Even simple operations like turning and sending messages were flooded with paranoia. Every flash from the ground or bird in the sky brought the considerable armament of the airfleet to bear. For Navigator Alexei Shalovic, he was simply waiting for the Ryouese military to strike. This was his first actual combat operation, yet he felt surprisingly calm and ready. He was about to get up to get a drink when he noticed several flashes appear on his radar screen. He stared at the screen in disbelief for a few moments before shouting, "Incoming missiles! Due North!"

Captain Lukash wasted no time in jumping into action. He sprinted toward the radar screen. "They look like regular SAMS, can you confirm?" he asked as more dots appeared. Shalovic pressed a few buttons on the terminal next to him and replied, "Yes sir, just your run of the mill SAMS. They were probably launched further inland." Lukash nodded and turned on his comm-bead. "This is Captain Lukash to all units. SAMs due North. Release chaff and use countermeasures. Over."

Clearly these Ryouese soldiers had never come across an airship. Normal SAM missiles were absolutely useless against the thick hull of the airship. Countermeasures alone would stop them rather easily. Either way, they would need alot more missiles to take them down.

2:34 AM, BMS Eisenseite
Xanadou Sea, Xanadou

The roar of the Sokol-7's engines as it lifted off the carrier runway nearly deafened the maintenance crews loading weapons onto the fighters. The entire airwing was being launched to aid the Air Armada flying over Ryou skies, and each and every plane needed to be fully loaded and fueled up before they were able to launch.

The three catapults on the Eisenseite were firing almost constantly now in an effort to get all fifty planes airborne, and the air control crew was being pushed to the limit. The Grestonian ships had informed them about the invasion plans, and Rear Admiral Thalberg was eager to do his part, even if that meant risking almost the entire compliment of planes on the ship.

"Pilot Johnson has saluted the catapult officer. Stand by for catapult launch. Stand by. Stand by. Launch!" came the disembodied voice from the flight officer on the bridge. Orders had been coming over the comm unit for the last hour, and Johnson's Sokol-7 was the last plane to be launched. Flying V formations of fighters could be seen overhead as they prepared to join up with elements of the Air Armada and take the fight right to Ryou's doorstep.

OOC: Also, so we have a map of some sort? Or at least a description of the terrain?

Normally I hate doing this, but since its tough to continue until Ryou posts...

*bump*

While The TLA Forces were in a panic, trying to find the Guerillas in their mist (what a Pun lol), The Guerillias soon fell back. The Reists were smarter then what the TLA foe thought they were.

The Guerillias were not killing Civilians, but they were only after the enemy. More Mortar and Rocket fire poored down on The Main base it self. But what the TLA forces were not seeing was it was spaced out, for better protection from the enemy Artillery Fire and also The Guerillias were useing Light Artillery, so no Attacker attacked from the Same Place, moveing to another Prosition, seting bak up and fireing again.

But a Few did get killed by The Ship fire, 30 Guerillias were dead.

In The Base it self, the Guerillia Fighters inside were planting Bombs in The Roads, running, then when a enemy Patoon came along, or enemy Vehicles came long, the Guerillias blasted the Bombs.

(OOC: TLA: I control The Guerillias, Not You or should I Point to The Post you did of My Guerillias Killing Civilians WHICH THEY ARE NOT!)

(OOC: TLA: I control The Guerillias, Not You or should I Point to The Post you did of My Guerillias Killing Civilians WHICH THEY ARE NOT!)

(OOC: And the civilians are happly allowing the Guerillas to turn the place into a warzone... Rrright... I was guessing that the Guerillas would silence the people who they thought would fight AGAINST them. And how did they get these bombs? They've been holed up in the base for awhile. Quite enough time for TLA to have searched everyone. If you DIDN'T READ though, I said I'd change it if it was considered a Godmode. I've already removed the civilian reference.)

Off the Coast of Kurona

Isabella was now starting the Begining of the End of Asuka's Rule and the rise of a New Empire. She was now not likeing the Take over of the Colonies or this war that Asuka had started.

It was Time to end it.

Isabella was with her three Childern on borad the Dragon Katana The Main Flag Ship of The Loyal Imperial Navy. The Whole Imperial Navy and Marines and Air Force was now on The Attack, heading strait for The Ryou Black Islands, To end the war.

Her first target to end it was to end Asuka's Reign in the Main Islands., with the help of The Imperial Navy, Marines and Air force, Asuka would fall.

4:55 PM, BMS Eisenseite
Xanadou Sea, Xanadou

"Say again your last, Swiftsure." A shrill voice came over the radio, frantically relaying messages to the flagship Eisenseite.

"I say again, Eisenseite, long-range radar has picked up a gigantic mass of ships approaching from the Northwest. It dwarfs our fleet, even when combined with Grestonian ships and Volzgradian elements from the air. We cannot ascertain the hostility of these vessels, over," the voice said again

Admiral Thalberg took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He pressed the commo button again and spoke into the reciever. "BMS Swiftsure, we are currently in the process of alerting coalition naval forces to the advancing ships. Do not fire until their hostility level can be determined. I repeat, do not fire on incoming vessels." The advance ground forces were about to be deployed to Ryouese shores, and Thalberg didn't want to make early assumptions that would compromise the combined forces out at sea.

Thalberg turned to the flight officer on the bridge. "Officer, send up two Sea Panthers to preform aerial recon on the ships. I want to be absolutely sure that they're hostile before we fire." The officer saluted and ran off to the flight deck. Thalberg peered out the window to the Leistungan fleet amassed in the surrounding sea. Amphibious units were being prepped and paratroopers and airborne units were being flown in all the way from Leistung to sow confusion amongst the defenders before the invasion got underway. The invasion would be costly, but he was confident in its chances of success.

The Allies had yet to get some deaths higher then the Mass Missile Attack the Army tried against the Invaders. but while the Navy wasn't around or on the Army's side, Asuka did have boats......one that would show the allies Terror.

Suicide Boats

Small, Fast, Wooden boats loaded with C-4, Dynomite, Gunpowder and other Explosives with Two Torpedoes tied on to the Front and were the Trigger for the Blast, powerful enough to make a Hole on The side of a Warship or Transport or even to disable it.

It would slow the Invasion down and one target was the Grestonian Ship Aries

Ryouese Sea, The Ryou Black Islands, midnight

one Suicide Boat had been sent to the area, useing black Sails. Now the Sail Rigging would come down as a Speed Boat Engine was to be used in attack, Speed and Surprise was all there was to the Army Suicide Boat.

Three Soldiers prayed to Taisen, The Ryouese War Goddess, for her to come and slay the enemy and birn the nations they came from.

The the Boat started up and head for the enemy Ship, with 5 tons of TNT and C-4 read for their mission.

OOC: I will let Greston try to stop it.

OOC: I'll delete this in a second, but the mass I was referring to was actually Isabella's Navy forces. Just saying, since you quoted my post.

OOC: i know, but I pressed the wrong Button

The Return Fleet was headed for The Ryou Black Islands, Refuseing to let the Allied Fleet Stop Them.

The Imperials were Returning to their homeland and nothing was going to stop them. If The Allies tought they would Control The Ryouese, they were wrong, Once Isabella and Hirohito Return, the War was over, and so was Asuka. Knowing This, The juta of Asuka was at a end.

Shai, The Ryou Black Islands.

The end of Asuka was nearing as The Army was soon orded to Retreat from the other Islands To Shai, only The Large Island Was to given retreat orders, they were to fight to the death, No Surender, Not to the West.

She soon saw that The enemy Allaince would soon see the Ryouese would never be Conquered, and their big mistake was not Alowing Isabella into The Islands, that would be seen as a Mistake, making then Invaders wanting to enslave The Ryouese.

In Short, The Allies would soon lose the war of words and have a War of The World on them, even if All Xanadou would go down with her in a tide of Blood unlike any Seen in The History of The World.

The Civil War was now a World War.

-TLA Inner compound-
"We lost a 2 Scorpians and 2 Humvee's in the retreat."A officer said running up to Stavo. "We also had 3 Main Tanks disabled, however the crew managed to set the charges before fleeing however." "Guess it's not a total loss then." Stavo said pacing. "Casualties?" "We've got 300 wounded within the walls, they had us by suprise, and they're pouring in as we speak, we're guess around 100 have fallen..." Stavos looked furious. "Do we have anyone trapped outside that we're still in contact?"

"A small group of twenty are holed up at the Police Station a quarter miles north of the inner gate, they're well dug in but we will need to extract them soon."

"Do so, after that enact no recourse." Stavo finished. "Yes Sir!"

-Inner wall Right Guard Tower-
"I'll finally get to use this MFer." A corporal said pulling the large heavy gun up behind him. "Jonas you still have that thing?" "Yep," the sniper replied hefting up the PTRD as he settled down. "I never got to use it on those rioting fundis, and I am going to see someone's head explode from this by the end of this day." "You're one sick SOB," the other replied.

Bump Up

VOLZY! WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!

Isabella had decided that Greston was more of a Danger to The Islands then Asuka was. Word was that they had allied with The Reists and that was now getting The Maoist Party (who thought of the Reists as Neo-Stalinists) on Isabella's side.

Isabella was more then willing for the Grestons to overthrow Asuka and then leave, but rumors were that Greston was planning Bases and forceing the Ryouese to let The Grestons make them go to wars when only Greston wants it.

That sounded Imperialist.

and Now, near The Blockade, Isabella's Grand Fleet was getting ready for war with Greston, if they Blocked Isabella's Return. Missiles and Torpedoes were being readied for battle.

Isabella would return, peacefuly or by force.

It soon seemed Asuka's Rule was now in big trouble.............It was falling apart. a New Rebelion, The Ryouese Revoltuionary People's Party, a Liberial-Socialist Party, was new starting a Rebelion in The Cities of Kalnsi, Ningabo and Minomasisyu and the Rebelion was spreading.

In Ningabo, The Rebels were raiding the Near by Army Base, waveing The Gold and Green Flag of The RRPP 100 Armed RRPP rebels charged against 2,000 Imperial Army Troopers, only 12 Rebels were standing after The Civilian soon joined in the Rebelion. The Weapons captured would be used in a Guerillia war right on the same island that Not only Ningabo was on, but The Capital, Shai.

Asuka's rule was ending.

The Vamperial Aerial Armada was back from the rebellion attempts to overthrow the monarch with victory to the loyalists. There was a different commander this time, Vamperial Headmaster Lee King was determind to end this war. With the returning of the Lynion Air Force from allied forces and the additional planes added to the air force, Lee was determind to end this war.

Onboard the flagship Valiant

Lee looked around the bridge as Mavax and Sonic joined him in the command tower. He was over looking the operations as they came just 300 kilometres from the outter islands.

"Well, we're back and we've become part of the Allied Forces..." started Lee.

"Commander, we've got a Ryouses Fleet about to engage the Allied Forces," interuppted the radar operator.

"Have the Seekers...." started Sonic.

"Belay that order," smiled Lee.

Sonic and Mavax turned to Lee as they protested about the reponse. Lee held out his hands as the bridge went quiet. He turned around silently and view the Hutson aerial carrier moved into place. It was empty and had no aircraft onboard but yet it had something on the belly.

"This weapon was tested during the pirate attacks and it punches a hole right through their capital ships. If it works on pirate ships, imagine what it could do to these suckers," smiled Lee.

"Nothing can punch a hole through a capital ship like a Ryouses ship...that explains why every single aerial carrier has one," stated Sonic.

"It's a Electro Magnetic Pulsion Cannon. Connect it to the second nuclear reator, use high powered magnet's to turn the particle a thousand time over which takes 2 minutes to charge, then give it 10 seconds to focus its power on its target and it'll fire 4 seconds later. This can work and I've seen this work before," explained Lee.

"But sir, we'll be sitting ducks for 2 minutes and 15 seconds," protested Mavax.

"No we won't be if we do this right. Half way through the sequence, the Xanax will do the same thing and the pair should be able to damage or sink at least two capital ships. If there's any clutter around, then they'll be damaged. Once they have fired, dispatched the Seekers and the Hunters to engage the fleet while the cruisers and destoryers give them support," finished Lee.

OCC: Lee is basing this on theory so it might work or it might back fire and destory the carrier. Yes, it is possible to do so but its being based on theory so really, it can work but it makes the carrier a sitting duck while its charging up the weapon which takes 2 minutes and 14 seconds. Remember, I'm doing this off theory.

6:43 PM, Beaches of Ryou
Ryou Black Islands, Xanadou

Columns of armored vehicles began to form up on the sandy beaches only a few kilometers away from the massed Leistungi fleet at sea. Two colonels and a two-star general stood over a map of the island, outlining known enemy positions with red markers.

"Colonel Halpert, I'd like to to note the forty thousand Ryouese Army troops still loyal to Asuka standing between us and the nearest town," the general said, frowning as he pointed to a large red mass on the map. "We'll need to deal with them as soon as possible, with or without allied support."

"Right," the colonel responded, as if he had known exactly what the general was going to say. "We've prepared a plan for this exact thing--see, our special forces teams have been picking away at this particular division for quite some time now (OOC: hopefully not a godmod, but Asuka does have 40 millionish troops), and so all we really need to do in weaken them enough to allow our teams to take this town east of our position, right here." He pointed at the map before continuing. "Once they do that, our forces will have created a foothold large enough to facilitate further landings."

"Seems simple enough," the general said. "But how do you propose we go about doing it?"

"The third and fourth Armored Divisions have been massing only a few kilometers away, and if we utilized them in conjunction with the first, second, and third Mechanized Infantry Divisions, we should be able to drive a wedge between their forces," he said. "Meanwhile, we have the fourth and fifth infantry divisions attack on the left flank, forcing the Ryous to abandon the right flank to break through our center forces and relieve their left..."

"...And then the special forces can retake the town while the Army is distracted. You've just forgotten one thing, colonel--the Ryouese Army vastly outnumbers us, and once they realize what's going on, they'll just brush us aside!" the general exclaimed, throwing his arms into the air.

"Very true, sir. However, you've discounted the value of Isabella's return. Hopefully, most of the army will simply lay down their arms and surrender. The ones who don't will have their hands full with the rebels and the Ryouese loyalists--as well as the Lynion air armada, which I'm sure you've heard has returned. Besides, sir, I think you should put a little more faith in the courage of our men--they won't break as easily as you might think."

The general paused for a moment, glancing down at the map as if trying to find something wrong with the colonel's plan. When he lifted his head though, his face showed only steely determination. "Do it. Send telegrams to the fleet informing them, and radio the plans forward to our battalions already deployed."

The colonel saluted. "Sir, yes sir!" he yelled, running off to the radio officer nearby. General Zimmerman took in the sights around him--columns of "Spartan" IFV's rumbled past the command post, carrying elements of the 4th and 5th infantry divisions. Overhead, attack helicopters buzzed, and even higher, F/A-15 Cardinals soared, armed to the teeth.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Good luck, boys, and god speed.

Attention all coalition ships [stop]

Our forces are currently in the process of establishing a foothold on Ryou territory [stop]

Please refrain from firing on the beaches around our landing zone [stop]

Any and all support would be appreciated during our offensive [stop]

Good luck to us all

[Full stop]

"Seems simple enough," the general said. "But how do you propose we go about doing it?"

OOC: Ok, One Question.....How did you get to Shai Island (where The Rebelion is in) when you were on The Large Island?

OOC: Well, I sorta asked for a map/geographic info three times. I have no clue how many islands you have, or where they are in relation to each other. Still, I'll just edit my post to have my special forces replace the RRPP rebels tomorrow.

The island of Tanshisyui

The Island was under the control of one Major Misato, who was one of Asuka's best Officers in her Army. The Major was now going to start a Large Attack against the Leistung Force that had landed.

Sending FOUR Tank Divisions agains The two enemy forces would stop them cold before they reached inland. and make sure the enemy would have to fight a Honorble battle. The Ryouese had Anti-Aircraft Defenses near the area of the battle inland, The enemy would have to come to where Misato wanted them.

Shai Island

The RRPP Forces were soon prepareing to end Asuka's Rule and to end the war before it got worse. a Strike on the capital it self, Shai, would be the ending part of the main war.

But The RRPP forces also knew that war would not end with Asuka's Death or Shai's Fall, But that the war would continue till the whole Army surendered.

Bt the RRPP was ready, The Leadership of the RRPP had sent a Message to Wanderjar for help against The enemy and already, more help came. The Freedom's Sons, a Rebel group that fought in the first Civil War had joined as allies and also another Surprise, The Reist Cell on Shai had joined the Rebel Ranks,

This Rebel Allaince was now planning The Battle of Shai, to end Asuka's rule.

Warsaw, Wanderjar 0440 hours
Wanderjarian Revolutionary People's Havenic Congress




The congressional hall, a vast building adorned in a brilliant classical style of architecture, was filled with the finely dressed Congressmen whom composed the representatives of the Wanderjarian people. There were hundreds of them within the Congressional Chamber, sitting patiently in their seats assigned by party affiliation for the arrival of the General Secretary of Wanderjar, Premier Michael Vermillion. And arrive he did soon shortly there-after. He was of average height, muscular build, and young, in his mid thirties. His entire life was dedicated to the Peoples Revolution.

"I apologise for my tardiness," he began with a slight laugh, "I fear that I was not expecting such a wake up call." The entire chamber eruped into laughter. The Sergeant At Arms called the emergency session into order, roll was taken, and the matter at hand was brought before council.

An older Representative of the Social-Libertarian Party took the stand and began to address the chamber. "My people, fellow Wanderjarians, we have dedicated ourselves and our nation to spreading the freedom and liberty of the Wanderjarian Republic to the other oppressed peoples of the world. These Ryous are a race in dire need of liberation, and have taken the first steps in creating a Social-Libertarian state, armed uprising. They have also insisted heavily in our intervention on the rebels behalf. We, as our foreign policy states, are obligated to assist them. What we wish to do today is to send in the Revolutionary Peoples Army to assist the rebels in establishing control." With that he nodded and left the stand. Another councilman, a member of the Socialist Workers Party, followed suit to speak.

"We of the SWP are absolutely behind this move. The people of the Ryou Black Islands shall no more live under the tyranny of Empire and Fascism! Bring the hammer of the Wanderjarian Army down upon the fascists! Death to Imperialism!" Cheers erupted through the crowd and a standing ovation was granted. The short speech touched upon the correct chords, and not a single council man voted against war. Within one week the Revolutionary Peoples Army would be completely geared for war. The 14th Revolutionary Guards Army would be deployed to the Ryou islands. Peoples Air Force units would be dispatched to Revolutionary controlled air fields once confirmation of such positions were recieved, and these would begin to whiddle down Ryou Imperial Units and achieve air superiority. Then, Air Force units would deploy the Army to those locations and begin to auxiliate the revolutionaries.

Meanwhile, Revolutionary Peoples Army commanders began preparing their respective units for war...

(OOC: I am terribly sorry for the sheer crappiness of this post, but its extremely late and I'm very rushed in writing it. Ryou I'll have more tommorrow which will make up for it. Have a few airfields open so that I can land my forces there and begin the build up.)

-TLA Base Complex-
"Can't anyone stop that damn shelling!" Stavo said as several more mortar shells rained down.
#"We're trying sir, we might have gotten a couple of their guns, but they keep moving their mortars!#" a voice said over the radio.
"Listen I don't care if you have to blast those hills flatl, just keep on them!"
"#Yes Sir, we'll try and keep them supressed#"

Stavo looked around the base as the next wave of shells fell, the worst of the shelling seemed to be missing somewhat, but the mortar shells, while ususally not powerful enough to break through the armor and kll, had still several dozen soldiers down from broken and bleeding limbs. And through it all the gunfire went unabated through the town outside.

-Airfield-
A haze of thick smoke covered the area around the airfields, the burning Propane tank and the F-23s cast provided a good haze, which was added too by several smoke generators.

#This is tower 1, you are clear for takeover.#
#Roger that, this is Vega 1, proceeding with take off.#
The pilot of the large plane taxied onto the runway as another round of Mortar shells rained down. These ones harmlessly bouncing off of it's heavy armor.
So you want some of this? We'll I'll give you plenty.

The first of the two A-10s on base was ready to take the fight back to the enemy.

The first of the two A-10s on base was ready to take the fight back to the enemy.

The enemy was not going to win this was, because soon, the Reists Retreated into The Rainforests, where the enemy planes could not get them..............but where the Reists had one surprise ready for them.

One Geurillia had a Shouder Mounted Rocket Launcher, armed with a Stinger Missile. It was 6:00 AM and the sun was almost up, soon day would start and now The Reist targeted the A-10, and then fired.

11:45 PM, Front Lines
Tanshisyui Island, Xanadou

General Zimmerman stared intently at a group of satellite photos laid out on the makeshift wooden table in front of him. Colonel Halpert and Colonel Thompson stood at his side, looking as concerned as he was, and muttering something inaudible to each other. Colonel Thompson spoke first.

"General, as you can see from these photos, the Ryouese Army is mobilizing four tank divisions directly in the center of our attack formation. It's unlikely that our two armored divisions will be able to break them, even in conjunction with our three mechanized infantry divisions," he said, pointing to a mass of armored vehicles forming up in the picture closest to him. Colonel Halpert continued Thompson's SitRep.

"The only thing we could possibly do is to use our special forces already on the ground to zero in on the mobilization points and send the coordinates to the fleet," he remarked tentatively. "That way, we could bombard them with Naval Strike Missiles before they present too much of a threat to handle. Alternatively, we could try to strike the SAM sites in the rainforest with anti-radiation missiles and then follow up with carpet bombings," Halpert said, seeming much less confident than he did a few hours ago explaining his plan to General Zimmerman. The General listened to the plans with a frown on his face, his eyes showing the grim realization that his forces were trapped between a rock and a hard place.

"Alright, here's what we're going to do," he started. The two colonels fell silent, listening intently. "Our only chance is to try to contact Isabella's fleet out at sea. If they don't send support, we might be done for--still, we need to at least create a contingency plan. Therefore, I'm going to order that our battleships at sea launch volleys of thermobaric weapons to try to burn our their positions, and follow that up with a massive offensive to catch their forming divisions off-guard. Artillery support can be given from either our fleet or our artillery units on the beaches."

2 Kilometers Inland

Attention Center Force [stop]

Four enemy armored divisions are currently en route to your position from due
north [stop]

Fleet command is in the process of launching thermobaric weapons to slow the
enemy advance [stop]

Take up defensive positions until given the orders to advance [stop]

Left Force will support your offensive once you have been given orders to do so

[full stop]


The lines of LY4A1 tanks slowed down as orders to hold position came in from the Command Post. The supporting IFV's dropped their ramps and unloaded their troops to allow them time to set up defensive positions amongst the underbrush of the rainforest, and the attack helicopters suddenly lowered their altitude so that the SAMs ahead couldn't get a radar lock on them.


Xanadou Sea

Admiral Thalberg read the orders with dismay. Bundesmarine protocol dictated that overwhelming force was only used in extreme cases, and he hadn't expected to launch thermobaric weaponry on the land force's first mission ashore. Still, there was nothing that could be done about it--it looked as though the Naval Support Convoys would be going out early on this one.

He picked up the radio receiver and spoke into it on the secure Bundesmarine channel. "Attention fleet, this is Admiral Thalberg speaking. As you are no doubt already aware, the Ryou Army is using overwhelming force to attempt to defeat our land offensive. It is imperative that we establish a foothold on the island, however, and so this cannot be allowed to transpire. For that reason, we have been ordered to load Tomahawks and Naval Strike missiles with thermobaric warheads and open fire on the rainforests where the Ryou armored divisions are advancing. All captains please turn to frequency 192.9 at this time--firing orders will be given through that channel."

***OFFICIAL STATEMENT BY WANDERJARIAN GOVERNMENT***



We hereby decree that we shall lend out our aide and assistance to the forces of the Social-Libertarian Revolutionaries in the territory of the Ryou Black Islands. All forces opposing the Peoples Revolution will be given one opportunity to stand down, effective immediately. If all counter revolutionaries do not cease and desist hostilities they shall be eradicated.

Shai Island

The Rebel Allaince was now going to start prepareing for the coming battle, over 50,000 Rebels had massed with over 30 190mm Artillery Guns and over 290 Mortars and 200 Jeeps for the battle, along with Two Helicopter Gunships.

The Rebels soon Captured a Air Field also, with no Troops stopping them. But in a few other bases, it was hell on earth, with 5,000 Rebels dead and over 12,000 of Asuka's men dead. but more people were joining The Rebel Allaince and soon, They would Defeat Asuka's forces, with Wanderjarian help, even though they did not trust the other Nations.

Tanshisyui Island, The Ryou Black Islands.

The Ryouese saw the coming Planes, but luckly, they were flying low........and missles were not the only Anti-Air Weapons in use by The Ryouese.

AA Guns, High Powered, soon started going off, The Sound of The AA Guns shock The Birds out of the Trees.

The Four Divisions soon headed for The Battle Field. Behind them, Two Mechanzied Infantry and Artillery Units joining them. Misato was no fool and once The Artillery was placed, The Artillerymen soon started targeting the enemy with their 200mm Heavy Guns.

Once the enemy Ground forces were sighted. The Guns fired in mass.

-Air above the outskirts of the base-
With the A-10 engines being located both at the rear and above the rest of the plane, the missile wasn't able to get much of a lock, but with the plane being so low it didn't matter.

-Cockpit-
Vega 1:"This is Sterner of Vega 1, proceeding with mission."
Tower:#Roger that Air Control out#
Vega 1:"Missile incoming, evading!"

The plane jerked to the right as the missile closed in, yet it still wasn't able to clear it enough as it landed a direct hit on the left wing, leaving it a good 5 feet shorter than before and causing minor debris damage on the tail. By all appearance to the rebels, it was a kill.

-Cockpit-
Tower:#Vega 1 Damage report#
Vega 1:"Lost primary hydraulics, switching to secondary, lost several feet of the left wing, lost 2 outer ordinances on left wing as well."
Tower:#Can mission proceed#
Vega 1:"Possibly, depends on how long the secondary can hold out.."
Tower:#Then continue mission if Secondary fails switch to manual and attempt RTB.#

-Police Station-
"Thank god it looks like they're retreating." A MP said as he leaned behind the desk that had been his defensive post, spent shells from a P-90 lying in a pile beside him.
"MEDIC!" A voice called from another corner as a medic that had been hiding farther in ran up to examine several soldiers who were either knocked out or worse.
"Someone alert the Base," the medic said, "We need evac or some of these guys won't last long."
The MP peeked out a broken window into the smoke ridden town area, where several skattered shots were dying out.
"Yeah, this place is a wash."

-Air-
Despite the damaged appearence the plane made a slow turn back to the left by increasing the right enginer before opening up with a half a second burst at the location of where the stingers were launched. Hopefully wiping out the stinger crew while it was in shock over how ineffictive they were. That done it headed up the mountain side, dropping 3 incendiary bombs from the fuselage on the ground, starting a large firestorm. That done it headed towards the town area to see if it could flush out any more opponents.

(OOC: The A-10 is a pain in the ass to fight from the ground. You can blow half the other wing off, an engine, all hydrolics, even most of the tail, and yet it STILL can limp home.)

The TLA Base

The Reist that fired the Missile was killed by the attack along with ten more. But The Reists were in Control of The Town as More Mortars rained down on The enemy base from another area as the Reists were not letting Up.

Shai Island

"Our Reist allies are in trouble against The Lone Allaince." Major Miroku said, debriefing the Rebel Allaince High Command about the war. "I think that 2,000 of our Forces can be good against The TLA Force."

already, The Rebel Army was now over 400,000 thanks to many people blameing Asuka and Greston for the War. Now The Rebel Allaince was allied with Wanderjar.

The War was now on a New Path, as Miroku's 2,000 Men were soon sent to The Island where the base was on Fishing boats flying Kuronan Flags, a Good way to sneak in.

The Xanadou Sea.

The Return Fleet was now near The Blockade and now sent a Message.

In the Name of Empress Isabella, Get out of the path of our return or you will be war Criminals if you fire on us.

Tanshisyui Island, Xanadou

Men quivered in fear as they huddled together in foxholes dug on the front lines, trying to shield themselves from the relentless Ryouese artillery. Smoking wrecks of jeeps and tanks littered the area, and bodies lay strewn about, many missing limbs.

A private, no more than eighteen years old, lifted his head up and peered out the top of his foxhole to hear the roar of yet another volley of thermobaric missiles from the fleet speeding towards Ryouese positions, hoping to finally silence the enemy 200mm's on the ridge. Only a few kilometers away, on the landing beach, Leistungi MLRS's fired rockets in quick succession, adding to the white trails of smoke lining the sky, and more and more 105mm cannons began set up.

Despite the evident psychological damage the artillery was causing, the extremely low rate of fire that a 200mm gun had prevented them from doing any serious damage to any of the bunkered-down divisions, and all it really was doing was revealing enemy positions to be targeted by the fleet and the air force.

A "Shade" UAV flew at top speed over the ridge, sending a live feed of the artillery positions to a flight of seven F/A-15 Cardinal (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=523062)fighters soaring high above the battlefield.

"Engel-1, banking right, moving to engage heavy artillery on the ridge. Engel-2, Engel-3, cover my six. All other planes, engage hostile AA batteries and cover our approach," the flight leader said, clicking his oxygen mask onto his mouth and turning the joystick hard to the right. He flicked a switch on his control board and armed his 14 GTMD-5A (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13630114&postcount=466) internally-guided cluster bombs as his wingmen did the same.

"Engel-1, releasing payload," he said, as he flicked the fourteen switches in front of him, aiming each cluster bomb at a different target.

"Engel-2, releasing payload."

"Engel-3, releasing payload."

Admiral Thalberg read the message coming in from the approaching Ryouese loyalist fleet with a frown on his face. There was no way that he could know whether or not the fleet would present a threat to his forces, and in these sorts of situations, he preferred to be on the safer side--a blunt response would be the best response here.

Tanshisyui Island

300 Ryouese Troopers were killed in The attack by The enemy Planes. Now The Anti-Aircraft Missiles and Guns were fireing at The enemy Planes and More Artillery that was in Resuvre was now pushed up to The Front, destroyed artillery was being cleared as the 50th Infantry Division was now sent to attack The enemy.

The 50th was Armed for Anti-Armor Fighting, Attacking The enemy Army. Being Covered by missile fire, The 50th attacked, Gun fire and RPGs were soon everywhere.

The Return Fleet

The Fleet was Ignoreing the Message to turn back, Isabella was not going to let these Ships force her back.

The Fleet kept moveing.

+4 hours after start of Attack...
-Town Police Station, 1/2 Mile North of TLA Main Base-
"We got contact with HQ, they're sending some Evac should be arriving in a few minutes." The medic said stepping intot the front room. "Good I think." The MP at the front desk stopped speaking when a Burst of Machine gun rounds echoed bouncing off the building. "Just Great, the actual rebel military has entered the town."

-Air above Town-
The still wounded A-10 flew slowly over the, searching out the elusive and annoying Mortar launchers, it was near the exterior of the town that it started running into resistance, bombing several buildings along the outskirts of the now emptied town. Anything that looked to be a defensive position was hit with either one of the remaining bombs, or with a burst of shells.

Of course it was right at the main gate when things began to take a turn for the worse, the secondary hydraulics were leaking, and the pilot knew he wouldn't have normal control much longer, therefore it was with much regret that he fired the last of his rounds into the forest along the border of the town, and jetisoned the rest of the bombs over the main road.

That done he limped back to the base.

-Naval Yard-
Several Patrol boats had already been deployed around the area, keeping the actual 3 miles around the base clear of any targets. Still the majority of the fishing boats were outside this invisible line, and were not being noticed.

Back at the docks, the ships continued pounding the hills and forests around the base. At the same time wounded and equipment were being put on board for evac, within several high ranking officers prepared a suprise for the enemy.

The Rebel Allaince 'Fleet' was now nearing The enemy Patrol, entering the so caled "Demilitarized Zone" Now no longer Peaceful as The Rebel Fleet of Fishing Ships, waveing Kuronan and Questorian Flags were heading for the enemy Naval Yard. Hiden in the Holds of the Ships were Rebel Troopers.

The Ships soon sighted the enemy Patrol Ships and soon started getting near The enemy Ships. It was almost Time

-Base Command-
"Sir Radar has picked up a small floatilla of ships approaching our waters."
One of the lower ranking officers said. "Do we have confirmation from any patrol assets?
"Yes sir, they say they appear to be fishing vessels, Trawlers mostly identified as Kuronan and Questorian according to their flags and pennants."
"Like hell they are," Stavo said. We're being attacked by an unknown group of maniacs who are quite obvious in using 5th column tactics, they've entered what is considered our waters and they have never had to get this close before." He grabbed one of the headsets from one of the consoles, "Attention all naval patrol forces, a large grouping of fishing boats are closing in on our positions, by a direct order by myself and myself only, the fishing vessels have been authorized as hostiles, all forces are to engage the ships in order to disable and halt their advance. Destroy their bridge, disable the engines, or break their rudders. Halt them if you can, sink them at last resort. That is all."

-Base gate-
A small convoy of 2 K1(Type 88) tanks, 2 Achzarit APCs, 2 Scorpian Light tanks, and a Samartian Medical Scorpian departed for the nearby Police station. The K1s in the lead.

-Seas-
Captain Thomas Shide of the Storm Class Patrol ship, "Lightning" looked at the incoming ships through the binoculars. "Karl, I've identified two targets, both trawlers closing in at 18 knots at least. "Yes sir, I'll send the coords on down to Novak in fire control." "Tell him I want a 76mm HE shell into each of their bridges as soon as possible." "Yes Sir." Nearby another Storm class diverted it's course towards another group of Fishing vessels. Base in base two Willemoes Class patrol ships and the single Turunmaa class corvette were being launched. (I'll explain their weapons if you request it)

The Rebel Ships saw the enemy coming for them and well, They had a Surpirse

among the Fishing Ships were two large Cargo Ships. and These had two Large Cargo Contaners on them

Which soon Opened up to revile Two Large 178 mm Guns.

and The Fishing Ships wree also Armed with Small Field guns (The Smaller Types, more like Cannons) and in a few, Ship Mounted Torpedo Launchers.

"ATTACK!!!" came the order from The Lead Ship as The Torpedoes came first, fired from The Ship Mounted Launchers, they raced for the enemy Patrol Boats.

-Sea-
With both groups now charging and firing upon each other, the battle was joined.

-Lightning-
"Torpedo in the water, hard to port!" "Yes sir." The Lightning was going through heavy fire while it closed in upon the enemy ships, still the well trained gunners of the ship had already started laying heavy fire upon many of the fishing vessels. "Sir Aft guns ready," fire control radioed in, "Proceed!"
The twin 40mm guns of the rear turret soon added it's fire into the barrage.
Back at the bridge Shide kept up with the constant changing battle plan, that is until and explosion off to their left startled everyone. "Sir the Riptide's been hit, direct torpedo attack on the bow." "SH*T, are they okay?" "Their radio says damage is intensive but they're going to fire off their missiles before abandoning ship." "We should..." "Sir they got armed Cargo ships at their rear!" "What?" "Reporting incoming fire in 3, 2, 1." The bridge shook as one of the shells of the 178mm guns went off near them. "Fire the damn missiles, blow those ships out of the water!"

-Sea-
The Lightning launched it's 6 Anti-ship missiles towards the two cargo ship, while the crippled Riptide fired it's 6 at whatever targets it could still reach. From the rear the 3 other ships closed in to reinforce.

1:17 AM, Front Lines
Tanshisyui Island, Xanadou

The Ryouese 50th infantry division's attack was exactly what Leistungi generals had wanted, and it was the exact reason why the two Leistungi infantry divisions had been sent to the far left flank of the formation (OOC: stated previous to this). Just as the last elements of the 50th Division's rearguards crossed into Leistungi-controlled territory, the two divisions in wait initiated their attack, slicing the attacking division in two with the sort of lightning-fast speed that gave the word Blitz its name.

The center force, though somewhat weakened by the continuous artillery barrages, reformed into a rock-hard triangular formation, advancing at a pace fast enough to rip apart the much smaller infantry division standing in their way. Tanks took up positions flanked by "Spartan" IFVs, eyes peeled for troops armed with RPGs and used their autocannons to drive fear into the hearts of the attacking Ryouese. Overhead, two aerial divisions of attack helicopters, taking full advantage of the diversionary tactics of the fighter pilots who had drawn the attention of the SAMs opened fire on the jungles with napalm and jellied gasoline, trying to burn out any stragglers.


Xanadou Sea

"Admiral, Isabella's fleet is continuing on," the radar officer said, staring intently at the radar screen in front of him. "They're staying on their current course directly at us."

Thalberg wiped his brow with the handkerchief next to him. "Well, we knew that they would, but did they state their intentions? We never meant to stop them."




OOC: Sorry for the craptastic post, but I'm rushing it. Also, I never told Isabella's fleet to halt.

The Return Fleet Was now moveing even Closer to the Blockade. Grand Admiral Ryu watched as The enemy Ships were not moving out of the way. Well, that was not stopping them.

"Send a message to the rest of the fleet," Ryu said to a sailor, "If the enemy fires even so much as a warning shot, They can fire at will."

In Short, they were fallowing The rules of engagement, do not fire unless fired on.

and even a Warning shot can spark a battle.

Are you going to respond to my flanking maneuver?

One of The Fishing Ships headed to The Lead enemy ship. Now Mortars wre being used by The Ship agaisnt the Patrol ship to try and disable it or failing that, Destroying it.

"FIRE!" The Capitan yelled as Machine Guns started going off as it got close to the enemy ship.

already, The Two cargoships and over 23 Fishing Ships were sinking and now the Ryouese were attacking in Force against the TLA forces.

The Cries of "For The Ryouese!" and "Long live The Revolution!" were being sounded against the enemy Ships

-Lightning-
The surface of the ship had been repeatedly raked by Mortar, Machinegun, and rocket fire the bridge itself was in shambles. The crew had retreated down into the Fire control room, now serving as their new control room.
It was there that Shide addressed his remaining crew. "We are retreating, we're outnumbered and even the reinforcements are under heavy fire, Command has ordered us RTB and they are sending some aircraft to cover our Retreat, after that they will head for the homeland, we only have a short chance at this before they hit us again, now lets do this!

-Airfield-
Another short lull occured as the rebel mortar team was forced to move from another shore bombardment, it was in this opening that several F-23s were readied to launch.

-Sea-
While the Lightning limped in full reverse under heavy fire, the corvette and the other two patrol craft attempted to provide cover for the surivors of the Riptide. The rescue was going as rapidly as possible, they had less than 2 minutes before they would be swarmed, they had to make it count.

-Police Station-
The Rumble of the first tank arriving outside startled the weary MP as he was watching for further attacks, however seeing that relief had finally arrived, he ran back inside to alert the Medics. The arriving medics and rescue crew quickly ran into prepare to stablize and evacuate the wounded. While a group of 12 soldiers took defensive positions inside and the Tanks and Scorpian Light Tanks took poistions guarding the medevac Samaritian.

OOC: Sorry to all, but this RP moves slower than a snail swimming through molasses. This is the 36th day and we're no closer to our goal than before. Ryou never posts, Volzgrad is missing, and I'm not even sure who else is in this thing! Effective immediately, my forces are withdrawn--this is extremely noobish, but really now...

OOC: Sorry, I was busy. IC Post soon.

We're waiting on you or Greston.

I am waitng for wanderjar, Who I invited in to this fist fight.

With Most of the enemy Allaince leaveing. The Ryouese Loyalists now feared the war was lost and Asuka would rule The Empire and Greston would destroy the Ryouese people. but hope was not lost.

The Silver lineing in the retreat of most of what many Ryouese called "The Anti-Ryouese Allaince" was being cheered by The Ryouese. they never trusted Greston or his evil allies and now with Rumors of Greston fighting The Freekish Empire, it seems the Island would be free from the Foregin Demons.

and The Rebel Allaince and Wanderjar were also still good to go. Rumors of a Coming Rebel Attack was told in the Return Fleet.

Shai was now in fear. Asuka declared that All Army Units in the city were to prepare for a Attack and all Civilians were to go into Shelters. Out side the city, in the rainforests, over 900,100 Rebels had massed, about to launch the Attack against The Juta and free the Islands from Asuka once and for.

OOC: Retreating!? We're just advancing in the other direction!

OOC: It's called a strategic retreat.....it's strategy. =P

Asuka knew it was the end.

Word was now that Rebel Forces were heading strait for Shai, The Return Fleet was in Ryouese Waters and now The Wanderjarians were coming. it was over for the Juta. The Grestonians may have left, but The Wanderjarians and The Loyalists and Rebels would not let the war end till it was over.

Asuka knew she had made a Mistake, her plans to make The Ryouese Rule the world were over. Her dream of a World that worshiped the Ryouese were over.

So was her life. If Isabella captured her, they would behead her. It was over for her.

No Escape but death.

and The Gun in her hand was the escape.

Later, the Rebel Allaince were now attacking, marching on Shai, they were surprise that no Juta Soldiers wre heading for them. But they soon saw something that was to make them surprised even more.

The Juta Army was waveing the White flag, Surendering to The Rebels. It was a surprise.

All over The Islands, Juta Forces were giving up to the Rebel Allaince dropping their weapons to the Rebels.

Only The Lone Allaince was still the Threat, one Isabella was going to handle.

Sending Two Ayanami Class Destroyers and One Orca Class Battleship, Isabella decided to end TLA's Control on that area.

She also Sent a Message to The TLA Base

Surender NOW!

The Civil War was almost over.

Bump Up

(What has happened between then and now. OOC: It's a little godmody but I want this over with.)

-TLA Base-
The base defense became dire mere seconds after the rescue crew got within the base walls.
A second reist attack had overwhelmed the city and by now the very walls of the base was underfire. This was followed up by the A-10 crashing near the dry dock, the pilot luckly escaping at the last second. Despite all of this though, the remaining unarmed ships made their way out of the base on a path flanking both advances, guarded by what was left of the patrol fleet. With them the majority of the crew and equipment. Which was just in time as the Rebels breached the walls.


-Guard tower-
The sniper Jonas had been given targets to dream of. "Reload, recock, fire!" He muttered as another massive bullet slammed into an enemy, splattering everywhere. The other man up top looked over at him like he was a mad man before going back to his gun position. That was when the explosion of the front gate startled him. "Jonas we got to get the **** out of here!" "WHAT, HOW?"
He shouted as the other dragged him down the stairs.

They both sprinted across the complex towards a door set low to the ground.

"There should be some subs left for us stragglers." The corporal said as Jonas followed.

-Base Command-
Stavos looked over the readouts and security footage. The airfield was destroyed, but with most of the planes launched and the remaining sabatoged, they would be of no use to the enemy. The ships had escaped, and the ones that didn't were primed to blow, the last of the subs were departing as well. Yet the enemy held the front gate and even point blank firing from the battleship wouldn't dislodge them. With the remaining vehicles already destroyed by Anti-tank weaponry, leaving him with no other option, he fled to the ship with the rest of the base populace. With the exception of 12 people who remained in the bunker like Adminstration building, the TLA base was in rebel hands.

-Adminstration building-
Behind the barred front doors the small rear guard prepared their final stand, already they went and eqipped themselves with their perfered weapons. Including the Fox Tanto dagger, the chosen close range weapon of The Black Hand. When the doors burst open, they opened fire.


-Iowa-
It was at that moment the surrender demand went through.
"What Surrender, we didn't even declare war on them dammit, those rebels attacked US, and now they want us to surrender to them?"
Stavo shouted angerly. "Activate the base self destruct systems." "Yes sir." Came the captain as a coded message was sent back to base.

-Adminstration building-
The base alarm blared again as the Nod soldiers continued to face off in the onesided battle. The interuption affected the combatants in different ways, for the reist's confusion, for the defenders, resignation. So at the same instant moment, the defenders dropped their weapons, and charged blades out. None of them reached the exit alive...

-TLA Base-
The Fuel dumps went up first, followed by the armory, the sub pens, and the docked ship... Which gave off a massive explosion leveling the rest of the dockyard. Below the drydock a hidden micronuke added to the destruction,

By the time the smoke cleared the Base was wiped off the map.
