Somewhere in the world
The family were watching their favourite program while sitting at the dinner table having their dinner. The program was Done Deal or No Deal? and the player was just about to win the final prize when the static was starting to take over. The little daughter turned to face the TV as she tried to eat her potato when she turned to the father.
"Daddy, the TV has gone white and black dots," said the girl.
"You mean its gone black and white," replied back the father as the static sound suddenly stopped.
The father got up from his chair and walked over to the TV as a head of a bull appeared snotting onto the camera. It had horns that were covered in green slime as its head appeared to be rotting. It roared for a moment before shaking its head and started to talk.
"This is the nightmare of the Human Race!" it snotted as it lifted the head off a body while the blood dripped from the neck. "We have defeated your best! Now, we demand that you bow before us as there's no-one that can withstand us!"
The camera falls to the side as the sight of minator's could be seen all with rotten bodies and green slime covering their bodies. Feet come closer as an octupus like creature came over to the camera and picked it up. It tiwsts the camera around slowly before it crushes it with its own two tentacles and TV goes back to static. The father picks up the remote and flips through each station with the same result.
"Mummy, who was that scary person?" cried the daughter to the mother as the TV went back to its original program before it went to breaking news.
"It's ok sweetie, it was just some kids hijacking the system again," replied the mother as she hugged her daughter.
The father came back over silent as he sat down again and faced his family. He went back to his dinner as the images played back in his mind over and over again. He looked over his shoulder as he noticed his military uniform that he once wore. His wife looked at him as they quietly went back to their dinner.
In Lynion
King Ranakin and King Xiahou had gathered the Vamperial Order for a meeting that was about the fate of the region and their country. Vamp was sitting down when he bought the Order to silence.
"It has come to our attention that Imperial Australia citizens are extinct. Thier lands have being invaded, wiped out and the Fungi have used the living, the wounded and the dead as re-production purposes," started Vamp.
"Excuse me sir," started Vamperial Guardian Oslo. "Is there proof that they do these acts?"
Vamp switched a button and the holo-video showed footage taken from a nearby resistance or camera man shows an octpus climbing over a woman while another goes over a child. They start to pump some kind of liquid into the bodies as they get off the people. Four minator's appear on the scene and they watched as the bellies burst open, keeping the host alive, and then green slimes appear as they start to take shape of minator's.
"Is that enough evidence?" asked Lee as the footage stopped. "We need to decide right now or face a task that could end up with the Human race on the brink of extinction!"
"Why must we help these Humans?" demanded Vamperial Knight Michael. "They tried to enslave us, they tried to kidnap our children and they'll be begging us for help soon. I say we forget..."
"If we stay isolated then the Fungi will turn on us!" snapped Vamp as he stood up. "We sat back and seen our brothers die while we do nothing. From now on, allies, colonies and former colonies will be granted our support. No more paper work or by the book crap! This is Lynion. The only race nation that isn't Human and actually have a brain of its on," Vamp forced silence on the Order as every single one turned to face him. "I was born in 1888 and I've seen the world, what it was, has and could be. But, I'm not going to let that stand in our way. We can make friends from enemies. Volzgrad was our enemy in the Rynibar Conflict and now we're their friends! As of this day, Lynion will do what it says and its actions will be reflected of what we say!" finished Vamp.
The meeting ended with 12 out of 12 stating that a declaration of war against the Fungi around the world will be taken place. As the guardians of Imperial Australia they felt the time had come to realise their talks and speeches and show it in their actions.
TO: Nations of the World
FROM: Vamperial Kingdom of Lynion, High King Ranakin Kingston
I'm sending you this telegram because it has come to my attention that our worst nightmares have being realised. The Fungi have mutliplied and grown in strength. They intend to march on any nearby nations and use the dead, the captured and the living as re-production uses. They come as green slimy minator's, mutated Dragonflies the size of an F-22 Raptor, mutated spider's they use as tanks and there's a few other creatures they use to mutate and turn them into mutated warriors. I ask that you equip your men with rounds big enough to remove a man's head, fire substances such as flamethrowers or napalm bullets. Explosives are also useful but our standard bullets don't stand much of a chance against their bodies.
God save Earth and its races.
Ursavian News Network
"Attention to all citizens of The Republic of Ursava, martial law has been officially declared as of two hours ago. Please move to the designated safety zones and stay there while the military begins to sort out the situation. I repeat; martial law has been officially declared as of two hours ago. Please move to the designated safety zones." The news anchor said before the T.V turned off with a gray screen with the word 'WARNING' in blocky yellow letters.
Ursavian border
Ursavia was generally a cold place and it was packed full of mountains. The only real way in or out of the country quickly and efficiently was through a ten mile-wide pass or the six mile-wide pass near the city's largest dockyard but that was guarded as well. There were several old nuclear bunkers from the time of the dictatorship and those had poloticians, important military officials, and the general populace rushed in them before they were closed down nice and tight. In the six-mile wide pass was Major Gara Kun of the 'Raging Bears' company. The 17th 'Bloody Vixens', the only unit to have women in combat roles, were in the other pass and Leopard IIs and other companies were everywhere. In fact, if one added up all of the men in the six-mile wide pass it would equal at least three Corps. Gara was in charge of them all in that pass given his seniority and now he looked down from a small hill where his command tent rested to the trenches and tanks below in the pass.
Fungi Side
The Fungi Master sat in the bunker as he looked over the map of Ursava. It noticed a small gap large enough to get thier 'tanks' through and into the country. Its eyes circled the area as he moved an arrow to place the 3rd Spider Armour Battalion to punch a hole into enemy terrority.
"Issue the order grunt!" snapped the Master to a minator as it left the room.
"It will be done ohh Holy One," replied the minator as it went to the front line.
Ursavian Border
The pass was open and it was time to assault the Human Race. The captain on board gave the orders as 12 Spider Tanks standing 18 foot high to advance through with the 8th Fungi Corps coming right behind them. Giving them air support were the 18th and the 7th Dragonfly Fleets. Their numbers were around 60,000 in total and the skies were screaming with dragonfly wings chanting.
The Spider Tanks suddenly stopped as they found a pass with enemy units on the other side. Their cannons fixed on the enemy as they fired a barrage which was followed by the advancment. Orders were to keep the enemy busy while the 4th Armoured Corps encircle the enemy from around the pass thus, causing a box around their enemies. The horns blasted as the units charged forward with assault rifles firing and the war cries of the minator's chanting.
"Deeath to the Humans!" shouted a minator.
OOC: There are only two passes, both of which are guarded.
"GUNNER! ENEMY...what the hell?" The commander of the Leopard II looked through his sights at the spiders "GUNNER! ENEMY...SPIDER AT ONE O' CLOCK!"
"IDENTIFIED!"
"LOAD, LOAD SABOT!"
"UP!"
"FIRE!"
"ON THE WAY!"
The round exploded from the barrel as the tanks and infantry began firing from their entrenched positions. Major Gara Kun looked out at the now raging battlefield as Starstreak missiles were fired at the airborne enemies and Bunkerfausts streaked through the air at the advancing enemy. A few of the spiders that were unlucky and got direct hits from SABOT rounds or Bunkerfaust RPG rounds fell to the ground but it was disturving how many it would take.
His job wasn't to beat them, just to weaken them and give them trouble until he was told otherwise or he somehow managed to beat the enemy force. They were only slightly smaller then the enemy force by the looks of it and not only did they have the homefield advantage against this enemy but they had knowledge of the exact layout of Ursava. Besides that they were used to the cold weather, they were entrenched, and they were willing to fight and die for the democracy they had shed blood to put in to power.
Major Gara Kun rubbed what little stubble he had on his chin as he watched the battle rage on and his command team did the same.
The ranks were pulled back a little as a Spider enraged charged forward and turned around. The others were covering it as it spat out thick sticky spider's web causing a few of the tanks to bust from it. The captain turned around as a Spider Tank caught fired and was starting to die from the explosions it took directly.
The fleet of dragonflies chanted to each other as they dived upwards then down directly towards a tank and landed on top of it. They tiwsted it around as one pulled out a pilot and lifted off to eat it. The other was starting to lift off as a Spider Tank attempted to go over the pass to the left and flank the enemy. Another got the same idea and attempted to go over the right end of the pass and flank the enemy positions.
The infantry on the ground moved up along the ground and dug themselves in as they took turns in blasting the enemy apart. It was going to be a thick and long battle but it was starting to get worse as another four spider tanks formed up the rear with additional troops. Among them was a Chamber Tank. It unleshed a gas that started to mutate the nearby wildlife into Fungi kinds. The Spider Tanks formed a protective barrier around it as it fired up two pods into the air filled with the same gas.
New objective for the Fungi: Choke enemy positions.
OOC: I'm gone for the next few hours but leave something for me to respond to.
OOC: Dude...that's total god-modding when you assume that you're just tearing through my tanks and how you had made that flank. Besides that, Starstreak missiles would probably dwindle the firefly numbers man. If you could stop god-modding and assuming you're killing my men that'd be great :rolleyes:.
Already there were falling back with the tanks driving in reverse and firing as they did so. CV-90s opened fire with SABOT rounds and followed with the tanks but they spread out as to avoid another acid attack like the one that spider had delivered. They fell back approximately six miles in to the pass where a large hill gave them excellent firing positions on the advancing enemy. Now they had the high ground and they started to open fire with the triple-shots from the Starstreak missile launchers at the fireflys while the tanks repositioned and covered the flanks while staying behind the infantry in their trenches. They watched as their original positions were flooded with green gas that did...nothing being as there were no humans. Then a Bunkerfaust firing a bunker warhead streaked for the gas-dispensing machine from above.
OOC: Sorry, I'll correct it in this post. Numbers will be posted in more detail at the end of this post.

It was clear the enemy were retreating, however, the Fungi had lost the Chamber Tank and a company of Fungi Foot soldiers. The captain looked up and noticed the Dragonflies being hammered and requested more support. They were already down 20 dragonflies by what he could see. There was a possibility that they have to retreat and try again later.
"Have the dragonflies transport what troops they can up onto the ridges. The Spiders up there are to start pounding the enemy positions. I want the full armour brigade up here and we need to push them right back!" yelled the commander.
The horn echoed in the past as former Imperial Australian brainwashed (OOC: example what happens when the gas infects the Human brain) companies and an armour company moved up behind the Spider Tanks. With the dragonflies starting to transport the minator's onto the ridges to help flank the enemy. It was hopeless getting the Spider Tanks up there because they started to slip off and if the enemy fired at them, then there could be trouble.
Fungi HQ
"It seems that our enemy has dug themselves in very well," smiled the Fungi Master as he read the reports. "Order a retreat back into Imperial Australia and re-group. Day time attacks on a pass is hopeless unless we do it later when the troops are tired. Oh, and have some of the soldiers fake their deaths,"
Frontlines
The horns echoed again as the call for retreat came over the radio. In an attempt to pull back, the front line minator's jumped up from their foxholes but were instantly gunned down by the tank and rifle fire. Half of the 'dead' laid down for the night and allowed themselves to lay under the heat as they waited for the darkness to come again.
The Dragonflies and thee Spider Tanks backed off as the brainwashed Imperial Australian troops attempted to cover their master's retreat back to IA itself.
Fungi Losses:
300 Soliders
3 Spider Tanks
1 Chamber Tank
40 Dragonflies
50 'dead' minator's
Imperial Australian troops
100 attempting to take the hill.
Lynion
Lynscert Island was alive with soldiers, equipment, pilots and vehicles moving onboard transport carriers bound for nations that required help to fend off the Fungi attackers. Among them the Jack of Spades, Matthew King, was firing up his engines when the news came through. The Fungi had decided to attack Colony of Lynx nearby Imperial Australia.
"Matthew," shouted a friendly voice from behind as Matt climbed into his Super Sonic Dingo Fighter Jet. "Watch your back out there. We heard reports if go to slow and in a straight line for too long, they tend to rip the cockpit and kill the pilot,"
"Don't worry Sonic...I mean sir! I'll be watching my back," replied Matthew as he looked at the photo which had a picture of his to be wife and himself during the quieter days of Lynion.
OOC: I just rememberd that the artillery, the AI 'Spear' Howitzer, I developed: fire phosperous rounds called "crop-circle" rounds. That's not all the shell lets off but still...
Major Gara Kun brushed some dirt of the '22nd' company patch on his shoulder before looked up from the trench. He watched as the Minoutars fell.
"Cut off their heads." Was all he said "Then put a shift of one company on watch, two resting but ready to go."
His second in command nodded and began to deliver the message. Half a company of men emerged with their Tomahawks removed from their vests and began to clop off heads just above the shoulders. It wasn't because they thought they were faking, they just didn't know if the things could actually die so just leave nothing but a bunch of living heads around instead of having them walking around and absorbing 7.62, .223 Remington rounds on the battlefield.
"This enemy is almost unbeatable." Major Gara said as he returned to his command tent.
"Unbeatable sir?" A member of his command team asked from across the table.
"Almost unbeatable Sergeant, almost." Major Gara said as he leaned over a map and crossed out the area where their original trenchline rested.
OOC: We need the Fungi to make a massive dent soon. Ohh and the Spider Tank landed in front of the hill.
IC:
Night fell that day as the Fungi paitently waited for a moment. They weren't defeated yet and they knew it. The Fungi Captain looked around as new Spider Tanks and fresh troops came to the frontlines. He looked upwards as something landed nearby.
"Sir," started the creature. "My master created us as what the Humans called Chinocks," it whispered. "We have orders to help you in your quest for conquest against our enemy,"
"Excellent," smiled the captain. "Get another hawk and see if you air lift one of those tanks onto or behind the enemy,"
"It will be done, sir," hissed the creature as it clutched its feet onto a spider tank while another did the same thing with the same spider tank.
Orders were given out that a new assault was going to happen once the fighting starts in the pass. It was going to be dangerous this time but deep down, the captain knew it was going to work.
On the front
The two hawks flapped quietly as the clouds covered the moonlight avoiding any shadows on the pass. They went above the ridge for safe keeping as the mutated hawks started their decent as the 'dead' minator's were dying slowly by the Humans axes. They slipped over and dropped their cargo as it made a large thud just outside the enemy encampment. The hawks landed on the nearby ridge and squaked loudly determind to wake everybody up.
"Wake up scum!" shouted one as the Spider Tank came closer to the front end of the base. "Its doomsday for you!"
The Spider Tank opened fire and perfectly timed, the other Fungi Corps emerged from the enterance of the pass and started their attack run. The minator's on the ground engaged their be-headers as the battle started again as the Spider Tank walked over them with cannons blasting.
"FALL BACK! FALL BACK TO THE MOUNTAIN BUNKERS!" Major Gara yelled.
Men hopped on the Leopard IIs and ran as well. They pulled completely out of the ridge and the fall-back was radiod to command while the squad moved approximately twenty miles to the nearest mountain where several other Companies rested, making approximately four Corps. There were bunkers, trench lines, pill-boxes, and A-1 'Spear' Howitzer cannons. Meanwhile, once the radio message was sent one could see two tiny plumes at the top of the mountain. It was two BGM-109 Tomahawk Cruise missiels headed right for the ridge. Major Gara watched as there was a large explosion in the ridge and parts of it started to collapse whle A-1 'Spear' Howitzers began opening fire from behind the trenches and AA guns opened fire to protect them from air assault. The Howitzers were firing their "crop-circle" rounds which sent out a small circle of shrapnel that started at the ankles and ended just below the average man's waist. Besides that they released large clouds of phosperous which was effective in trenches or even out in the open for burning things.
The Fungi took another beating from the missiles as the ridge collasped around them killing another three Spider Tanks while instantly crushing 50 minator's. Hundreds were wounded and were bought away from the frontline as the engineers started to build a defensive sector with the help from spider's web.
"The Lynion's will be back soon," hissed the captain. "We need to have gain more space before they come,"
Ursava Frontline
"Shh..." shouted one of the pilots as the Lynion carrier hummed over the mountains. "We're to leave our walkers in the front to take the most of the beatings!"
The carrier hummed over as it quietly landed the Spider Walker on the ground. It looked around as a further seven were being dropped off until more Lynion Forces could get there.
"This is Lynion 59 to Ursava Forces," whispered the pilot over the intercom. "We've just dispatched a few surprises for the Fungi when morning breaks and until 1000 hours when our boys are coming,"
Ursava
"Major, Major Kun." One of his radio-man called out in the still dark morning.
"What is it?" Major Gara asked, looking away from the view-port in the bunker.
"We have a contact on the radio." The radio-man said excitedly as he held out the reciever.
"This is Lynion 59 to Ursava ground forces." A pause "We've dispatched a few surprises for the Fungi when the morning breaks and until 1000 hours when our boys are coming."
"Rodger that Lyniion 59, we'll spread the word." Major Gara said.
A second radio-man was fed the message by the first one who started broadcasting it to every Ursavian unit, bunker, and trench-line.
Morning broke and the morning sun shone against the mountain base. The Lynion's had a few surprises for the Fungi. Along the mountain base was 20 Tiger Tanks with three Spider Walkers. They waited silently as their second surprise was about to come. Captain Andrew Walker looked around as the engineers came back from their objectives.
"All forces standby, wait for the Fungi to make their first move," ordered Walker.
The Fungi woke up again from their slumber as they started their march forward. They went through the first part of the pass and over the hill as they came face to face with the mountain. Their eyes lit up as the Humans had allied themselves with the Lynion's.
"This is all that stands in our way to victory?" laughed the captain. "All troops are to march on the enemy position! Death to the Heritics!"
18 Spider Tanks and more Minator support along with two fleets of Hawks and Dragonflies decended upon the mountain. They marched along the pass as a Spider Tank suddenly tripped a wire. It stopped and looked back as a ticking sound could be heard. The minator's looked around as the first of the bombs went off.
From the top of the mountain, Lynion sniper's observed a string of napalm bombs being dentonated by the wires. It melt 1/4 of the force as the Fungi contiuned on with their marches.
"Lynion's!" shouted the captain. "Time to show these demons a piece of our mind! Let them have it!"
In response to the call of the radio, the Lynion's opened fire with a volley of rifle fire followed by cannon fire.
The moment the Lynions opened up with their napalm and bombs in the pass, the A-1 'Spear' Howitzers opened up in the mountain. They were firing crop-circle rounds to fill the pass with shrapnel and phosperous. The artillery didn't stop firing at all while Major Gara watched through a pair of field binoculars to see that they were...burning. The things were burning and not like normal things burned. It was clearly eating away at their skin.
"Radio, get me a radio!" Major Gara called out.
A radio-man came running up and in moments, the entire chain of command was being informed of the findings.
It was becoming a living nightmare. The Fungi have re-grouped and launched another attack that flank the napalm burning. The Dragonflies and Hawks filled the air as the anti-aircraft fire turned on them. The Lynion Tiger Tanks were lined up firing a barrage at the Spider Tanks while friendly Spider Walkers flanked the enemy positions.
"This is Lynion Command to all friendly units. Our ETA is about 10 minutes off. Hang tight boys!" came a voice over all frequencies.
"This is Major Gara Kun, that's good to hear just make it happen!" Major Gara yelled in to the radio as some of the M25 rifles started firing with the artillery.
"LOAD THOSE CROP-CIRCLE ROUNDS, NOW!" Major Gara yelled to the nearest artillery crew.
The crew's radio-man nodded and started delivering the message to all the other crews. After only a brief pause the howitzers started firing again. Now whenever the shells landed, large circles of shrapnel starting at the ankle and ending at the waist (on average) were being set out. Besides that phosperous was coming out of the shells and the worst part for the fungi was: wind. A large wind was starting to blow, making the naturally cold Ursava even colder between the curving line of mountains they had fortified and the six mile-wide ridge.
The Spider Tanks were crashing through the Lynion front lines and it was looking like the Fungi could break through to the mountain sides. Flanks were being oberated and the Fungi were taking heavy fire from all directions.
Captain Hawk was on the front lines when a minator jumped over him. He blasted it apart with his rifle before a spider leg went through his stomach killing him instantly. He was pulled upwards before a beam of light went straight through the Spider Tank killing it instantly. Major Ethan Lee turned around as an aerial aircraft carrier blocked the sun's view while a flight of Interceptor's smashed through the Dragonflies and Hawks.
"This is Captain Sonic to all Allied Forces. Welcome to the Death March! The Fungi are on a Death March!" said a voice over all frequencies.
"What the hell is a 'Death March' Captain; like a bonzai charge?!" Major Gara asked over the explosion of artillery.
Then the Leopard IIs began opening up using phosperous rounds while soldiers kept firing over the Lynion lines while waving to them to fall back to the Ursavian lines which were much more fortified and prepared Ursavian trench lines and bunkers. The artillery continued firing off their crop-circle rounds in to the Fungi ranks, letting the phosperous burn them up and the shrapnel cut in to them.
"Never heard of a 'Death March' when a prisoner is going to his death?" asked Sonic as he straffed a Spider Tank before dropping two napalm bombs.
"Incoming transmission," started a voice on closed frequencies (OOC: To Sonic and Commander Lee). "As of today, High King Ranakin was assassinated by Fungi assassin's. King Xiahou was badly wounded in the torso and arms and has become fatally wounded. In responses to the assassinations, Vamp has accended to the throne until Xiahou and Ranakin's sons are old enough to become the next kings. I repeat, Vamp has become king. He is infact our oldest king being the husband to 1926 to 1945 Queen Eliza and father to the twins Lanakan and Esther. In response to these actions, a full declaration of war is being rumoured at this time,"
OOC: I doubt they would broadcast such detailed and morale-draining news over all frequencies. Besides that, even if they did broadcast it, then it would probably only be on your frequencies save for the bit about a declaration of war which would be on all frequencies man.
OOC: It was on the transmitted to Sonic selected other officers that's why it should say, closed frequencies.
OOC: Okay, just give me time to think up a post. Mt Id and the others need to post soon too.
OOC: Argeed. No outsiders besides key Lynion officers will know about the kings deaths until later.
OOC: Well, nothing much happening anymore. lol
OOC: Sorry for the late post
IC:
The Fungi started their retreat after feeling the wrath of the napalm bombings. With their numbers being shattered as each bomb dropped, it was the beginning of a long retreat back into Imperial Australia. Lynion troops meanwhile made a surprise.
Imperial Fungi pleaded with Lynion leaders (before the assassinations) to become a state with Lynion. Before King Ranakin was killed, he signed a treaty stating that Imperial Fungi will become a state of the Vamperial Kingdom of Lynion. Reasons weren't noted because it seems different reasons are being used.
Meanwhile on the front, the Lynion Forces dispatched the 5th Armour battalion to secure the pass into and out of Ursava Pass. However, the troops still aren't aware of the death of their kings. To avoid any conflicts, Imperial Fungi has gone into isolation while the war contiuned to wage on.
