The Northern Baltic commanders nodded amongst each other and one of them stepped forward and replied:
"We endorse your attack on Traskov and Jarfars. Once the port is captured, a request for heavy artillery could be put in, to allow us to help bring down the fort and give your soldiers some target practice."
The Northern Baltic commanders waited; they were ready for the fight to begin.


"The lets move out, are armies are awaiting your command."

She kissed the man again, forcing her lips into his, unlike her father she took the iniative. She always had.

OOC: I'm gonna delete my pervious posts concerning the whole Josh bit and repostem once Your people are on the bridge.

IC:
Hawk walked in at that precise moment and cracked "I thought I said no torture! Sorry to interrupt folks but there's a rather time-sensitive meeting that is happening on the bridge right now.

Chris Ascelon grasped her hands in his and then hugged her.

"I'm guessing I'm not going to be a part of this meeting?" he asked.

Getting up from her chair Rose smiled at chris. She liked chris a lot, a lot alot. She had never felt this way before.



"Lets get to the bridge," Maria said. She was getting sick watching Rose.


A ralkovian helicopter made its way to the dawoad ships. It answered the ship with radio contact. A low guttural growl that could only be a death guard trying to speak english.

Chris Ascelon grasped her hands in his and then hugged her.

"I'm guessing I'm not going to be a part of this meeting?" he asked.

"actually you already know to much" Joked Hawk, "We'll have to kill you anyway. might as well give you the full picture."

The Bridge
On the bridge, Maria, Sophia, Rose, The Emporer, Admiral Hawk, Ghost, The leader of the deathguard troop and General Lewis were assembled around a large table.
"Sorry once again to interrupt folks," said Admiral hawk, "but here's the news. First, Rose? Maria? your fathers were the same. Second, we may have a solution to this problem but no ones gonna believe it. On one occasion, near the end of the Ralkovian, ASD'ian war, Josh was shot multiple times and unlikely to survive. Our forces brought him to a medical facility under the ASD which is extremely black. It has technology that is, essentially unknown to the rest of the world and generally considered impossible. Here's the thing. We though Josh would die and, so, we took a DNA sample and a scan of his brain patterns. With a recently developmental tech, that means, we can actually flash clone and resurrect Josh. He would have memories of nothing after the battle when he was hit and he would be slightly . . .younger than any of you remember him but we can bring him back. That would provide a flag for the deathguard to rally around and we might be able to work something out with the FPR under his rule . . .Josh was very popular. Unfortunately no one else can or should know about this tech so we can't tell them, except maybe the deathguard, that it is in fact josh."

The death guard behind the face mask could only laugh at what the DaWoadian man said."Emperor Kelvel{Joshs great-grandfather} had invented that technology beforehand, long before. The death guard serve only under the Empress Maria. We would not welcome a transcended one{Someone who has died but has been brought back} to rule us. Of course the Empress has the right to do as she sees fit." Grand vizier of the death guard said.



Maria looked down for several minutes,"What would the reprocussions be Vizier?"

The Grand Vizier looked to her,"We would serve you to the death, it might cause problems though with are supporters if they found out."

Maria continued to stare at the ground,"I need my father to fix this. How fast can we do it?"

"we can start in ten minutes. Flash cloning will take just under 6 hours, we've got the cloning stage down to an art. So he could be on site in around 8 hours with the debrief." Replied Hawk

"do it," she said sadly.

Senior Admiral Joseph Cerasulo sat up. The capital ship and pride of what was once the ralkovian navy, The Sovereign Emperor of the Seas didn't rock or roll from the waves crashing against it. In fact it created waves in its wake. It was a giant of a ship 4 or 5 times the size of a nimitz, double its height, double its length. It was a fearsome ship, a mix between a carrier, destroyer, and a battleship, it was also necklogen coated making it almost unsinkable.

The ship could launch aircrafts through a hangar in its main hold, the top of the ship was reserved for giant artillery pieces and a deck for missiles. The ship had many names, including the giant lumberer, the King of the Sea, Leviathan, Giant of the Ocean, along with many others. It was the centerpiece of a vast fleet of destroyers and manticore cruisers. Amongst those were 4 Nimitz class carriers, 10 SSBN subs, and plenty of attack subs, minesweepers, cargo ships, luxury cruiseships for medic duty, and many patrol boats.

The fleet had been designated command OP1. They had been the first line of defense against enemy fleets and consisted of a huge 40% of the entire ralkovian navy. Commander Cerasulo was supreme commander of the fleet. He had decided to make his way to the Grand Islands not only to push this foreign fleet out of his former homeland but to resupply. Refueling wasn't a problem for most of the fleet since they were running on necklogen engines or nuclear ones.

"The lets move out, are armies are awaiting your command."

After a few days of hard training, The Northern Baltic commanders of the regiments began to move to capture both Traskov and Penada. Several hundred Pt-76 tanks and a little over a hundred T-62 tanks had arrived so far, along with around 50 million Ak-47s, as well as plenty of other various small arms. Around 30 million IMI Desert Eagles were also placed in the hands of the FPAR. This assured that the FPAR soldiers had a trusty, powerful sidearm to accompany their trusty, powerful rifle.

Since not enough APCs were available, many troops welded handles onto the backs of tanks and rode on them to battle. The underpowered, but light and numerous OTO Melara Mod. 56 served in the artillery regiments as they pounded enemy positions. Northern Baltic officers oversaw the entire battle, to assure it all went smoothly.

Meanwhile, many small bands of men, accompanied by one or two Northern Baltic paratroopers, descended into the wilderness around the FPAR bases. Their goals were merciless destruction: destruction of communications (telephone lines, computers, radio equipment), the requisition or destruction of supplies (blowing up or taking military supplies), causing havoc in enemy territory (putting mines on military roads, blowing up railroad tracks, blowing up munitions depots) and to kill or take the enemy prisoner. These groups were small: never more then 50 men. Their small size allowed them to maneuver much easily and more efficiently then regiments.

The Cordenan C Spetsnaz soldiers, led by Alyona Joseffa, walked slowly through the Ralkovian forests. Alyona, 26-year-old hardened veteren of several wars Cordena has got into, had her AK-47 firmly in her hands grasp. She had been briefed on Ralkovia earlier.

She stared at the distant mountains. Beautiful, they were. She let out a sigh.

"Why the hell does those bastards at the Mosavich always send us to fucked up states?" she thought.

She wished she could go back home. Her cat Mikhail, a white Persian, was probably at Aliyah's. Aliyah Benziri, a 25-year-old with Israeli ancestory, always looked after Mikhail whenever she was 'working'. Working for those fat cats in the Mosavich.

"I'm such an anarchist," she thought, allowing herself a brief smile. Well, then again, I do support United Cordena."

As she thought quietly to herself, a tank's shell suddenly exploded just in front of her. She was knocked back and lost her hearing.

"Captain...hurry..get.." instructed Private Vladimir Petrovich, before a tank's machine gun ripped open his head.

"Shit!" gasped Alyona, as she started running.

Aliyah had stumbled upon a death guard training facility. The guard didn't take to anyone walking in on their territory. Traps had been set and anyone unfortunate enough to spring them would find themselves in the most brutal of deaths.

Springs that launched burning napalm, landmines, rope traps that could cause men to hang like a pinata and be swung against a tree with spikes on it, the list went on.

The death guard slowly surrounded the Cordena group. 150 of the death guard were new recruits eager to display brutality. 350 more were vetarans of several wars and still were out for blood.

"do it," she said sadly.

"Done," Replied Hawk. Then spoke briefly into a shoulder mike.

Hospital Alpha
The two Doctors had finished the flash cloning and brain rewrite processes. Soon The former leader of ralkovia would be ready. A modified hawk One stood by near the base Ready to move Josh out when it was time to do so.

Chris suddenly collapsed onto the floor coughing up blood and pus. He had forgotten all about his pain and his need for the breathing mask. Blood was all over the floor and writhed in agony. Captain Meyers couldn't stand to look at it and turned his head the left. The other man in the room promptly kneeled down next to the afflicted man. He took the opportunity to steal a pistol from the man's body while it seemed that he was trying to aid him.

He fired three rounds into the Emperor's chest and whipped around to unleash his wrath on the guards in the room as well as Captain Meyers. Whether he was dead or not had yet to be confirmed, but the simple fact of the matter was that the Black Fist terrorist organization was a force to be reckoned with.

What happened here could have repercussions in all three countries.


10 miles away from the CFF Woadraider

Hundreds of speedboats armed with light machine guns and packed with explosives were rushing towards the Woadraider. They weren't being stealthy about it either. They formed a large circle around the Woadraider and surrounding ships, not only in an attempt to scare the Woadraider, but also in an attempt to cripple the flotilla. Farther off, rusty Second War Era aircraft buzzed noisily towards the CFF Woadraider. The Black Fist prided itself both in stealth and insanely stupid bravery.

After a few days of hard training, The Northern Baltic commanders of the regiments began to move to capture both Traskov and Penada. Several hundred Pt-76 tanks and a little over a hundred T-62 tanks had arrived so far, along with around 50 million Ak-47s, as well as plenty of other various small arms.

These groups were small: never more then 50 men. Their small size allowed them to maneuver much easily and more efficiently then regiments.




The death guard at Penada were significantly outnumbered and despite the FPAR taking heavy losses the city would soon fall with minimal death guard resistance left.

On the other hand Traskov held out. It was capable of withstanding the siege for at least a little while. The city swarmed with death guard and the fort F12 had sent reinforcements days earlier. However Tzualvia, the staging point for the attack on Traskov was under attack by death guard from Barkanos.


TUB forces from Cornacovia and Jarfars were also attacking the FPAR stronghold at whitewater. Dislodgement from their would mean a total loss of any victory in the north. FPAR forces from Alfred were underpowered but would need to make some sort of assault on Treknay-Rako to hold back the massive army from taking over Ulosavia and whitewater. Penada was useless as a city of reinforcements since the death guard had taken a huge toll out of the army. FPAR would need to defend itself or lose any hope of conquering all of the northeast.

More upsetting or ominious was the huge gathering of balkov troops. It was several times larger than the ralkovian army and even though it was doing "drills" a huge excess of forces was seen in the region.

Even before the man had the chance to do anything else, The Grand Vizier had pulled out his heart and was in the process of pulling out whatever else was in the chest cavity. The man was still alive but his arms were both crushed and ripped. The grand vizier in a bloodlust fed the man his own stomach before ripping his legs out of the socket and feasting on them too.

"Myat Maera Vizier Stus Blod trews fewi liocs ads," Empress Maria said. The Grand Vizier immediately stopped his feasting and finished by ripping the eye balls of the man and then crushing his heart allowing the man to finally die."NYAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!," the Empress began to yell as the Vizier finished up. His face mask now covered in delicious blood his long tongue wiped the blood off his mask. The death guard that escorted the vizier had gotten the entire thing on tape and it was streamlined to sites all over.




Meanwhile Rose was holding on to the Emperor,"Chris, Chris!!!, please don't die on me," she said crying. She kissed him and held him before pouring the healing mixture, every last drop of it onto or into the man. In a few seconds every drop of it was gone but it was working or so she hoped.

The forces around Traskov dug in and prepared for a long siege. They were a bit impatient just to wait for the enemy to surrender, so they ordered the artillery to make it easier for them.

Once The Northern Baltic commanders realized what was going on, they quickly radioed all guerrilla forces in the area and told them to preform a delaying action against the enemy to give them more time to prepare. The guerrillas would blow up bridges, mine roads, switch road signs, and even, when they had the advantage, ambush the enemy.

New equipment was arriving daily at the major rebel bases. The Northern Baltic paratroopers rallied the personal in the FPAR bases and laid out a defensive plan for all the major centers of FPAR resistance. Trenches would be dug, bunkers built, sandbags laid down, minefields set up. Taking advantage of the newly arrived T-62 and Pt-76 tanks, The Northern Baltic commanders instructed that they would be driven into specially built trenches, making them harder to destroy. Artillery and mortar positions were also set up, to provide strategic firepower to the men on the trenches.

Mig-1.44 fighters, escorting the Northern Baltic transport plans could land on the newly finished runways and, after refueling, begin strafing runs on enemy columns. Traveling in groups of 30, the Mig-1.44s took full advantage of their superior speed and firepower and prepared to pound the hell out of any advancing enemy column they spotted.

The Forth Shujunese (autonomous region in The Northern Baltic) Army was preparing to be transported to Tzualvia. Many of the personal in the 4th were former guerrilla fighters, thus their style of fighting was better suited for at least part of the FPAR forces.

Alyona had managed to escape, with seconds to spare. Her running through the forest had ripped apart her clothing, she'd lost her equipment and she was hidden by a mass of leaves. She was terrified, and she heard the gunshots. Of death.

"How the fuck do I get our of this hellhole?" she asked to herself.

CFF Woadraidr
As the Man shot his emperor, Ghost brought up a .45 cal hand gun from behind his back. Realizing it was useless, that the man was already dead, He rushed to Maria's side and, after watching her place the liquid in the emperors wounds Applied pressure bandages to all three as medics were in the room.

The Black fist flotilla
Speed boats with low cal machine guns and WW2 era planes have to get damn close to a modern fleet to do any damage at all and That just wasn't happening. 5 modern battle cruisers, each with 200 cell VLS systems emptied their payloads at the enemy ships. In the air Planes on alert scrambled and join the CAP for a total of 100 ASD'ian interceptors. Each launched two meteor BVR Air-air missiles and WW2 tech planes would have nothing in the way of counter measures. Now hawk was truely annoyed though. The 25 pike class Destroyers Suddenly went fully active as did Shield and Sword class ships and The cff itself launched the remainder of its airforce. In doing so the ASD'ian fleet Noticed that a Ralkovian fleet was also in the area. More plnes launched fast and a full ASD'ian Alpha strike began to edge closer to the Ralkovian fleet.

Alyona just stared at the man.

"I surrender," she blurted, standing up. She held up her hands, with her clothing ripped apart.

OOC: Bump for my post

Around CFF Woadraider

The planes were dropping like flies and the ships were sinking like rocks. Bullets and bombs were flying everywhere. A few planes managed to breakthrough the field of fire, but the ships weren't as lucky. The Black Fist's main goal here was to do collateral damage and they succeeded, if it meant collateral damage to themselves.


Inside CFF Woadraider: Brig

The last descendant of Ascelon was on the verge of life and death. Not only had he serious afflictions of the lung, but two gaping bullet wounds in the chest and one in the jaw. He was quite lucky not to have suffered any brain damage, but not quite lucky enough to survive the ordeal. Hanging on a thin strand in the thread of life, was his fate.

Mayhaps it was the liquid or it was Rose's kiss. He steadily regained his vigor and breathed normally. His jaw had been broken, but the tissue was healing. He looked at Rose softly and held her hand delicate in his.


Inside CFF Woadraider: Unknown

The would-be assassin rushed around disoriented. There was no escape. He shot at a few security guards who shot him as well, though he hadn't noticed. He looked back and noticed blood along the floor. The rush of hormones gave him little leverage for thought and it took his brain a few seconds to analyze the data and realize that he had been shot. Several times actually, the only thing keeping him alive was pure adrenaline. He hadn't ran very far from the Brig, though. He was basically running around in circles for quite a while before making up his mind and turning the pistol on himself.

Snap! No bullet. He squeezed the trigger again for good measure. Nothing. Collapsing onto the floor, he cried like a little girl who had scraped her knee. Guards had him surrounded quickly.

BFS Mystery

The Mystery was a special ship. It was aged and dilapidated. A constant unique odor hung about the ship. New electronic and cloaking equipment had been added to the ship. Glorious Leader Adam Xenon oversaw operations in Ralkovia.

"I see. You have failed me again," he said silently and with a dead calmness that everyone knew meant that he had murderous intent.

"I beg your forgiveness, Glorious Leader. Please. Spare my life," he whimpered. "I can still be of service."

"Yes... in fact you can be of service to me," he smiled.

"No... oh no... you don't-" he began.

"Oh... but I do. Take him away," he snapped as two security guards dragged him away screaming. His fate was unknown, but it would be an unimaginably horrifying one. "Now... where do I get some decent help around here?"

He looked at the map. The suicide attack was largely a failure. He began looking into the resources controlled by the Black Fist. A nuclear bomb had been reserved for the TSRT, but they thought to save it for research purposes until the organization was large enough. Now was the perfect time to use it. Ralkovia was in disarray and if he could land the dart on the bullseye, all hell would break loose and the Black Fist would make a decent profit.

The protectorates Own
The enemy planes that managed to get through the meteor launch were met by medium, then short Air-air missiles. Any that got through that malestorm met Gun fire and SAM fire from the 8 Missile Defense ships. A single, very lucky, strike by an enemy fighter/bomber hit the CFF Woadraidr and literally bounced of the heavy armor before detonation harmlessly alongside the massive CFF.

The attack had failed and the now ex-Emperor had survived, barely. The Black Fist had entered the scene with one last trump card up their sleeves. The only question was when and where they would use it.

(OOC: Sorry. didn't have much time for a bigger post.)

The forces around Traskov dug in and prepared for a long siege. They were a bit impatient just to wait for the enemy to surrender, so they ordered the artillery to make it easier for them.

Once The Northern Baltic commanders realized what was going on, they quickly radioed all guerrilla forces in the area and told them to preform a delaying action against the enemy to give them more time to prepare. The guerrillas would blow up bridges, mine roads, switch road signs, and even, when they had the advantage, ambush the enemy.

New equipment was arriving daily at the major rebel bases. The Northern Baltic paratroopers rallied the personal in the FPAR bases and laid out a defensive plan for all the major centers of FPAR resistance. Trenches would be dug, bunkers built, sandbags laid down, minefields set up. Taking advantage of the newly arrived T-62 and Pt-76 tanks, The Northern Baltic commanders instructed that they would be driven into specially built trenches, making them harder to destroy. Artillery and mortar positions were also set up, to provide strategic firepower to the men on the trenches.

Mig-1.44 fighters, escorting the Northern Baltic transport plans could land on the newly finished runways and, after refueling, begin strafing runs on enemy columns. Traveling in groups of 30, the Mig-1.44s took full advantage of their superior speed and firepower and prepared to pound the hell out of any advancing enemy column they spotted.

The Forth Shujunese (autonomous region in The Northern Baltic) Army was preparing to be transported to Tzualvia. Many of the personal in the 4th were former guerrilla fighters, thus their style of fighting was better suited for at least part of the FPAR forces.




The Barkanos soldiers quickly advanced in the empty region. Ambushs were not many due to the fact that much of the region had been cut down to a flat plain during ralkovian expansion and need of lumber.

The ralkovians dealt with the migs by sending in the F-22 raptors(Ralkovian Model), Eurofighter typhoons, F/A-18F SuperHornet, EA-6B Prowler to deal with them. Barkanos was a major aircraft producing factory and would provide air support against the enemy Migs. The Migs would lose their advanatage when the Growler would blind them. Piloted by death guard who were hooked in by brainwave made the flights of aircrafts even deadlier.

Piloted by death guard who were hooked in by brainwave made the flights of aircrafts even deadlier.

Once the Migs saw that they were being jammed, the Mig flights let loose a total of 120 missiles in the general direction of the enemy planes. Out of those 120 missiles, 80 were R-73 heat-seaking missiles, 10 were Vympel R-27P radiation seeking missiles (designed to go after the Growlers), and 30 were R-73 missiles with heat-seaking, however instead of the usual load of explosives, a powerful EMP was fitted instead. It was designed to detonate in close proximity of enemy planes. The Migs then turned around and flew back to the landing strips.

Meanwhile, Northern Baltic command had decided to make the T-72, not the T-62, the main battle tank of the FPAR. Therefore, all shipments of T-62s and Pt-76s were stopped and instead, new T-72BMs were shipped in. A total of 5,000 were planned to enter FPAR hands by the end of the month.

Old government Status Report

The Ralkovian Government had made some progress in the fact that the city of Gordon now belonged to them. Morta would soon follow as a small detachment of death guard were being sent from each fort guarding the border between ralkovia and ruthmenostan.

Only minutes beforehand had a death guard group actually capture the daughter of a house leader. She would be used as a pawn to get the support of the leader. Morta was a large mining region and had plenty of mineral resources that would greatly benefit the old government. It also had the only supply of necklogen in the world, Josh had produced a lab for quicker necklogen production and had produced an expanding version of necklogen inside his lab in crystal form. The necklogen crystals constantly expanded so miners and were always busy collecting the precious metal and manufacturing it into death guard armor. The death guard had been lost the city in an expulsion(Like getting kicked out of school not explosion) by the house leader.

The outnumbered Death Guard had no choice but to leave, faced with the choice of stopping the miners from doing there job and risking all of ralkovia becoming a giant necklogen wasteland. Necklogen was formed adding electrons and protons to a nucleus in a lab which could take hundreds of millions of dollars just to get a small sheet of the metal but with the crystals they actually stole the nucleus and electrons from other atoms creating more necklogen. The necklogen vein could not be allowed to expand and steal vital minerals from the land.

The death guard had suffered tremendously from the lack of new body armor but by taking the mining operation back Morta would become the saving piece of the old government.


Château-Gaillarâ, Midway between Barkanos and Tzualvia, Ralkovia

The forces sent from barkanos had been stopped near an old castle in the middle of the two cities. Guerilla forces had taken a toll on the death guard mostly through IEDs. Tanks that had protective power from these improvised bombs were little and enemy strafing runs had begun to cause major damage since it was impossible to have adequate responses to guerilla raids and strafing runs at the same time. They decided to take refuge at Château-Gaillarâ.[picture] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mehrangarh_Fort.jpg) The Château-Gaillarâ was the only "fort" in the region and was located on the highest hill in the entire region between the two cities, 650 meters, and had once been a vibrant citadel in which the house leaders of the Tzual resided. It had been abandoned for almost 200 years when the town that surrounded the castle moved away. The Tzuals not wanting to lose power moved with the citizens.

Of course during the 2 year reign of Emperor Josh he had moved the castle into active duty when the house leader of Barkanos wanted to separate from ralkovia. Emperor Josh had added an entire underground complex that reached the bottom of the 650 meter hill and then went down another 400 meters. Another improvement was giving it a flow of electricity and clean water originating from the dam on the Taeon river, it provided plenty of power and water. Josh also had the castle installed with a garage in the underground to allow tanks and APCs a safe place to stay instead of outside where they were vulnerable to aircraft bombs.

Probably the greatest improvement to the design was the addition of major modern military technology. It was reinforced against aircraft attacks, heavy dumb bombs, and even a bunker buster bomb
[anything that penetrates past 8 meters can get through the roof and the several floors and then reach the bottom]
More defensive structures other than walls were added including bunkers, tank traps, hidden pillboxes, anti-aircraft towers around it The entire underground and the complex was capable of standing up to an earthquake bomb and it was the first fort to be updated with a necklogen structural beam.(it just means it can hold up a lot of weight)

The proposed secession never happened when the Tzual house leader died after a bridge collapsed when he was on it while driving to an agreement talk to stop the secession with a mutual agreement and after Emperor Joshs death it became another useless fort in the mainland. The castles defenders had left their posts to handle a balkov-ralkovian war but the entire unit died. The castle would have become a tourist destination but the direct road between Tzualvia and Barkanos had been made passing almost suicidal by the addition of barbed wire, nails, and anti-personnel and anti-vehicle mines. The road soon fell into disrepair and the few bridges that allowed vehicles to pass over the dangerous "tar pits" [ really just big fields of muddy water that often overflowed onto the level roads] broke down making the route impassable to any civilian driver.

Now the Château-Gaillarâ would provide safety against the strafing runs of the Northern Baltic and the guerillas. The only bottom entry, the garage, was blocked by a large bulkhead and would prevent infiltration from the bottom. The death guard were safe for the time being and they would recover from their wounds.

Anti-aircraft equipment was placed on the roofs and patrols stayed close by the fortress. Men were sent to bunkers and the gun turrets and watched from there. Château-Gaillarâ would soon become a major battle ground.

{This means no bomb you to oblivion type attack, Baltic I want this to be a troop vs. troop type fight. 10,000 death guard vs. 700,000 FPAR troops}

FPAR Headquarters, Ralkovia

Emily received a call from a spy in Gordon. She immediately called the paratroopers,"We got a serious problem. It seems the death guard have taken over the southern mountain city of gordon.
The next step is the mining city of Morta. If they get that not only will we see more support to the evil regime but we will have the major problem of more death guard in better armor, more tanks that are harder to kill, and a large increase in necklogen WMD.{necklogen nuke destroyed the capital and everything in it}
We have no major troops in the southern region not even guerilla units and support for us down there is nill to none. We need to stop them if we have any hope of creating an equal and unified ralkovia. Can you send any troops?

Also I have reports of the death guard who were heading towards Tzualvia
being forced into a fortress or something. I have a large army of 700,000 men heading to it to crush the attack. They are former soldier-slaves and have experience fighting but I hope that you will be willing to send some troops to help us. The Death guard are a deadly menace that form the body of the imperialist oppression of the old government. While the victory here is of little strategic importance perhaps we can raise morale and hopefully generate support in the northwest.

More reports are coming in TUB forces attacking whitewater have been beaten back. In fact the defenders have chased the army at Jarfars back to the city and have already begun a siege on it. They have almost crushed the army in Jarfars so we can expect victory in the next few hours. This is great news."

(OOC: Idk if I can remain active forever.)

Chris held Rose close to him and popped the question. It was stupid and out of the blue. They only knew each other for a few hours, but he blurted out ideas from his mind constantly.

"Will you marry me? You will be the Empress of Ascelonia. You can nationalize the Ascelonia Consolidated Industries to keep them under control. I will sign over all of my forces and resources to your control," he said weakly.

ASDN Protectorate's own
As the Alpha strike Watched the Ralkovian Fleet. They began to make out individual radar systems. The ennemy fleet was massive, much larger than the Force that had been Sent against first fleet during the War for the Black blood. ASDN fighters pulled back to the fleet. Re-arming for true combat rather than air surveillance. The cap Was enlarged and The fleet began to move inland towards the western edge of he Ralkovian Gulf and the Landing point nearest the flattened Ralkovian Capitol.

MIF1
The Marine invasion force had launched and was moving as fast as possible for the Ralkovian lands.

She closed her eyes, she really did love this man, she knew it from the pain in her heart she only felt when she found out her older brother(not Joshs) had died.
Chris in a few short hours earned the same pain in her heart that took Ron almost 16 years to earn. Her mind spun with thoughts, her heart wanted her to say yes but her mind told her it was illogical and probably a bad decision. She would do anything for this man she kissed him again."Anything just stay alive please," she begged chris."I love you and don't want to lose you."

------------------------------------------------

The ralkovian fleet neared the ASDian fleet. Admiral Cerasulo got up from his bunk and put on his ceremonial navy white and walked on deck. His room was next door to the bridge but he decided to take the long way and go around the entire floor breathing in the air. It wasn't a salty mist like he liked, the command tower was to high up to actually get the salt spray. He then preceded to walk into the bridge."Admiral on deck," yelled one of the sailors. Captain Hiruba stood back and faced Admiral Cerasulo."Sir, we have arrived at EMC distance and are in range, any further orders, Sir!?!"

Admiral Cerasulo took a minute and then began to talk,"Get radio contact with that DaWoadian fleet, order the fleet to back a bit away from the Tesla ships they can be a bit dangerous when primed, then turn the ships to port. Have all immediate response aircrafts ready for launching. Make sure the submarines know there targets and tell the Leviathans to go silent and head under, make sure they remember to put on there displacement shields otherwise it will be a repeat of the black blood war. Get our engineers ready to go invisible if we are going to face hostile submarines. I want a picture of whats going on from the spy satellites overhead. No one fire until I give the order unless you are fired at first. Make sure everyone knows we are at battlestation alert. No one is allowed to be lying down unless they are dead or in the infirmary. Any Questions?"

"No sir!!" shouted the crew on the bridge as they began to radio each other, encrypted of course, the admirals commands. The communication officer on board turned to the admiral,"Sir we are ready to make contact with the foregin fleet."

Admiral Cerasulo sighed and told him to put him on with the dawoadians, the man nodded and did as he was told. Seconds later Admiral Cerasulo was on the DaWoadian screen. He was probably the same age of Sophia but he looked to be Admiral Hawks age. His hair was a mix of black and white, his face showed only tiredness and weariness. His eyes big pools of wisdom and weariness. He was skilled no doubt and intelligent he was also the ralkovian "all-time" admiral. He had done what Josh couldn't do make the Ralkovian Navy a fearsome force that didn't rely on brute force. He had learned from other countries navy new tactics and he didn't listen to some landlubber royal on what to do. He was a smart man who if underestimated could easily tear you apart.

Admiral Cerasulo sighed before talking,"I am admiral Cerasulo of the Independent Ralkovian Operational Navy(IRON) you are in Ralkovian waters please leave or we will be forced to commit hostile reactions," the man said his voice sounding depressed and altogether indifferent. He was a man bored with life, his only job on earth to make sure other men didn't die.

(Okay. You can now RP my forces. The TUB is now being supported by the Black Fist terrorists from my nation and the Old Regime is now fully endorsed by Ascelonia.)

He smiled to himself as he fainted into unconciousness. He was not dead. No. Far from it.

( TUB needs some major allies or its going to lose. FPAR is soon going to take over the entire north if somebody doesn't stop them)

She held him and didn't let go, he was her raft in a sea of peril and she loved him for it and would take care of him. Kissing him she finally let go for a doctor to help him.

(TUB is being supported by Black Fists who are far more adept at going covert and underground operations. You'll see a lot more terrorist activity. The Beserkers and Ascelonian Special Forces will now be sent to be trained at death guard facilities. The whole of Ascelonia is now part of the Old Regime. Basically, Rose will control my country.)

( Death guard training facilities aren't open to outsiders. They aren't even open to the Empress or Emperor unless the Vizier allows them to and since the Vizier is a big supporter on Death Guard power he won't let anyone even near them.

The only non-death guard allowed in the facility are several scientist who work on genetic engineering and gene therapy and they are never allowed to leave.


Rose only stays on as long as chris stays on though)

(Okay... well Rose now rules Ascelonia.)

(Why? and How?)

Somerwhere in Ralkovia.
11:23pm, 2nd November 2008.
Rovlander Intelligence Service.

Kate Adams looked down into Ralkovia. She could see tanks, military bases and a skirmish happening from her view in the sky. Tanks were firing masses of their shells, and the aura of the country was tinted with blood red.

"Go, go, go!" instructed the soldier, as Kate jumped out of the plane, airborne.

She was wearing a slim, black waterproof all body clothing, like a bathing suit. She had the G-16, a deadly assault rifle much like the M16A4, strapped on her back, with a Xavier LL, a 11mm pistol, in it's holster on her waist, along with several frag grenades & special grenades.

She pulled the cord of her parachute, then floated nervously downwards, not being spotted by the soldiers thank to the parachute being pink, invisible in the cool dark of the night.

"Shit..shit..shit!" she whispered, as she headed towards a thick forest. It was common knowledge that this would kill her.

She spotted a way out; a M shaped lake was near the trees, and she moved towards them. She headed towards the edge, and eventually was successful.

As she cut the parachute off, she looked around. Forest. Nothing but forest and a dead turtle.

"Right, better get to work," she thought aloud, throwing her backpack on the ground.

---
20 Minutes Later.

Kate was dressed in a dark green sleeveless t-shirt, desert coloured combat trousers and brown leather boots. Her long, brown hair was hanging out freely, occasionly knocked by the breeze. It was a perfect night in nearly ever way.

She was on her belly on the edge of the forest, aiming down the sights of her G-16. She blended in with the forest perfectly, and she was looking at a guard standing outside a military complex. She knew her mission, but what she prepared to kill the guard? He looked like a 15-year-old. Ofcourse she was prepared to kill him.

She moved slightly, then aiming probably down the AOG scope of the weapon. She brought it towards the guard's head, and steadied her aim.

Right as she was about to pull the trigger, the rumbling of a main battle tank was heard. She looked at it, pushing down the road. It was massive, one of the biggest things she ever seen.

"Better not get spotted.." she thought.

( Rovlander your approved, I just need to know whose military facility it is(TUB, FPAR, Old government) and on whose side you think you want to join. Unless you are working alone that is.)

(OOC: old government facility. Rovland is trying, basicly, to destroy all factions.))

(OOC: lol... Rovlander would get pwned. Rose rules Ascelonia via marriage. The Emperor himself has good suggestions and ideas, but lacks the zeal and leadership to rule it. We'll RP marriage after this war is over)

(Fine by me but sending a single person in to a facility full of my elite death guard who have an average kill ratio of 1 for 20(1 person can kill 20 before dying himself) is pretty much suicide. The death guard will most likely take her captive though)

Tzualvia
As more heavy supplies and the Shujunese Forth Army arrived, Northern Baltic commanders decided it was time to move out. Keeping a sizable guard in the city, to guard against any enemy attack to Tzualvia, a total of 700,000 FPAR forces and 100,000 Shujunese Forth Army units moved out on the fortress of Château-Gaillarâ.


Château-Gaillarâ
Amid many difficulties, once the FPAR forces arrived, the Northern Baltic commanders instructed the forces to construct a defensive line encircling the fort 5 miles away from it. Once more troops poured in and darkness fell, small squads of 3 men armed with Ak-47s and minesweepers probed the no-mans-land in between the lines. Squads of 7 men armed with heavy weapons moved in behind them and established defensive positions to provide them covering fire, if they were spotted. As the artillery moved into position, the hours long probing and minesearching of the squads was over. Now, it was time. Dozens of old pickup trucks were fitted with explosives, a remote control kit, and a cheap video camera. The pickup trucks were then, in a coordinated attack, driven at the walls of the fotress. As soon as the bombs detonated, the attack, supported by artillery and tanks, began. 100,000 men were in the first wave. Specially trained engineers armed with large blocks of C4 were mixed in with the assault. Smoke grenades and industrial smoke machines provided some form of cover from the enemy. As soon as the first wave was half way, the second wave (this time 150,000 men), was released.

As the attack was commencing, guerrillas, supported by a few hundred Shujunese regulars, began to make a move on the dam providing the fortress with water and power. They would first capture the dam, and then shut it down. Blowing up the dam could cause unwanted natural and popularity consequences, so they decided against it.

Morta
The Northern Baltic was not prepared to let another city fall into enemy hands. Thus, when it was heard that the Death Guard was moving on the mining city of Morta, The Northern Baltic was quick to deploy 2 Shujunese Vanguard (Heavy Infantry)Mechanized Divisions and 1 Northern Baltic Mechanized Division to the scene via escorted tranports. Once they arrived, they set up their defenses in the mountains before the city of Morta and also constructed adjacent defensive lines if the forces needed to retreat. Their final defensive line was in the city itself, where buildings would provide cover and serve as bunkers. The leaders of the three divisions, as well as some other officers, went into Morta to explain to them their situation and were prepared to hear what they had to say.

((OOC: She's trying to kill the guy and pretend she's a guard, then get infomation. She's been briefed and all that. Capture her if you like.))

(Shutting down the dam is not a very good idea since it provides most of the power to Tzualvia.)

Château-Gaillarâ

Death Guard opened fire on the soldiers with machine guns and flak cannons. Field artillery and mortars responded to the enemy artillery as counter artillery. Tanks would be stopped by the hedgehogs and other tank obstacle.

Perhaps the most dangerous thing the FPAR was facing was the concertina wire that surrounded a good portion of the fortress. In the dark with minimal light many men ran right into the wire. The death guard were careful in making sure to not let many of the dying to build up on the wire.

Remote C4 acted as a deadly deterrent to the easy routes up the walls. And even though trucks packed with explosives might have done damage if they had actually hit the castle instead of the bunker and tank traps they did catch some patrols by surprise and a small death toll of about 100 death guard perished in the first attacks. Artillery took another toll on the death guard and another 100 died.

The death guard were forced to move up to the 2nd ring of defenses, they had 2 more rings before they reached the castle but they had been caught by surprise. However the FPAR had suffered much more than the death guard to gain this first line. Approximately 6,000 or so were dead and 10,000 were wounded of which 5,000 would die from bloodloss. The death guard had pretty much exceeded the man for a man thing and would hopefully stop the attack. Even with the smoke the death guard had thermal, echo, and nightvision.

( Most death guard are not fully human, they are genetically superior humanoids, they wear special armor and speak a guttural language but I'll go with it, it will be fun to see you improvise, all you have to do is wrestle the death guard and get a knife into his frontal neck where its the skinniest)

Death Guard Special Seargent Deval Gewshan decided to stick to the road. He was way to bored to even bother paying attention. Turning his back towards the hidden Katie he watched the base, nothing ever happened here, he thought to himself. He could be fighting on the front lines but instead he was here guarding a powerplant facility.

The tank had decided that it was time to drive through the forest, probably looking for something like arms or enemies. Kate looked around, then eventually turned her stare back at the Guard. He had an execptionally noticeble feature in his neck, which despite his clothing was still viewble by naked eye.

Nobody was looking, so she decided to make a break for it. She jumped and silently ran towards the guard, grabbed her knife which had been almost content resting in her pocket, turned the guard around and moved for the neck.

The Dam
"You want to shut down that dam? But that provides all the power for Tzualvia!", said one of the guerrillas.
The Northern Baltic commander thought carefully for a few seconds.
If the dam provides the power... then... Of course!
"Then we shut down the substation", The Northern Baltic commander said aloud. "There has to be a substation somewhere around here... all squads, spread out and search for it. Radio additional squads to help."

The Fort
Once the first wave knocked the Death Guard out of the first ring of defenses, they quickly fortified it and allowed the second wave to drive on, capturing the second ring. Then, the third wave was released. Containing 200,000 men, it was the largest wave yet and its objective was the third defensive ring. Meanwhile, medical personal rushed to retrieve the wounded. Since not enough medics were available, children and men from other waves volunteered to retrieve the wounded, while all the medics were based in first aid tents, in order to treat as many wounded as possible.

( Baltic, Morta is independent, they hate the monarchy and they hate FPAR. They are more radical rightist and they would have sided with TUB had it not been for TUBs now more middle ground views)

The death guard grabbed her arms and wrestled her to the ground. She was strong and quickly turned him over so she was on top. He began to crush her arm to prevent her from stabbing him. Instead she got the knife right into his wrist computer. His head helmet came rolling off revealing a kid of about 18. He fought back but she got her arm free he had only been a death guard for 3 months and now he was about to die. He tried to stop her.

The Dam
"You want to shut down that dam? But that provides all the power for Tzualvia!", said one of the guerrillas.
The Northern Baltic commander thought carefully for a few seconds.
If the dam provides the power... then... Of course!
"Then we shut down the substation", The Northern Baltic commander said aloud. "There has to be a substation somewhere around here... all squads, spread out and search for it. Radio additional squads to help."


(Now your using your head)


The Fort
Once the first wave knocked the Death Guard out of the first ring of defenses, they quickly fortified it and allowed the second wave to drive on, capturing the second ring. Then, the third wave was released. Containing 200,000 men, it was the largest wave yet and its objective was the third defensive ring. Meanwhile, medical personal rushed to retrieve the wounded. Since not enough medics were available, children and men from other waves volunteered to retrieve the wounded, while all the medics were based in first aid tents, in order to treat as many wounded as possible


Death Regional Commander Sara Hinkes pressed 4 detonators. The C4 rings on the first and second rings and the midway point between the first and second and the second and third ring detonated killing off most of the second wave and stopping the charging soldiers. Machine guns mowed down whoever was left standing as many of the medics and first wave were wiped out as well. Some FPAR troops began to retreat seeing that victory would not be so simple.

Death Guard snipers made it difficult for any one taking cover and the snipers were protected behind the parapets of the fort.

( TUB needs some major allies or its going to lose. FPAR is soon going to take over the entire north if somebody doesn't stop them)

OOC:my fleet is in the middle of the Gulf of Ralkovia.

Aboard the CFF Woadraidr
He was transported to the hospital aboard the CFF. Soon medics were working on him and one assured Rose that he would be ok. General Lewis Stepped below decks. "M'am" He called out. "We have a little problem. A member of one of the ennemy factions apparently has the entirety of the Ralkovian Fleet under his control. We need you on the bridge."

The Protectorates Own
Pike class Destroyers pulled back in close to the main fleet. Active sonar went full and out of a background of White noise the crew picked out the distinctive "hole in the noise" made by the Leviathens. The ASDN had adapted since the last Ralkovian war for the fact that they might have to go after Ralkovian forces and the Leviathans were easy to pick out when you know what your looking for. At the same time Dreadnought, Swords and the CFF trained long range Railguns on the ennemy ships as VLS systems were prepped to launch. At the same time the Shields went full online Ready to attempt intercepts of ennemy missiles as Every Carrier in the fleet and the CFFlaunched every single plane they had. Military transports, armed with 5" guns moved for the Ralkovian shoreline filled to the gunwales with troops, ammo and equipment.

MIF1
The Marine Invasion force was making its way towards the Ralkovian grand Islands, too far away to do anything but watch, for the moment, as the Ralkovian and ASD'ian fleets squared off

The Bridge of the CFF
"Admiral Owen Hawk, with Sophie at his side, looked back through the Main communications screen. "We are here at the request of the Empress of Ralkovia. We will not leave until she, herself, asks us to go."

(My fault I'll transport near where ever your fleet is)

He sighed and shifted his head back and forth feeling the cracks of his neck."my capital has been destroyed, the palace in which the Empress rules from vaporized, and the government destroyed. She is unfortunately not the official ruler of ralkovia. We must let the war play itself out if then only the true government will rule. So I ask you to withdraw from the area Woadrana[an equivalent of the n-word but for the woad]," he said not really caring.

The 2 electromagnetic cannons could lob 2 necklogen nukes almost 400 miles away, it could also fire it close by if need be. Close enough to destroy the entire enemy fleet if need be.

Protectorates own
"Dmn" Muttered Hawk under his breath and his head tilted right, just once. The pre arranged signal had the ensign behind him, out of view of the camera, push a single button. The button set of a stream of commands and 26 coil guns Fired. SABOT rounds launched at over 10 times the speed of sound streaking for the two large enemy vessels that looked like they were targeting the ASD'ian fleet. The enemy leviathans were out of range as of yet but ASD'ian ASW helicopters took off in quick succession heading for their location. VLS systems Launched rapidly and 600 Sea Skimming Harpoon missiles reached for the enemy fleet. In the air the entire Protectorates own's airforce hit afterburner and headed for the enemy fleet. A second volley of Coil gun rounds would follow on after the first but that wouldn't happen for thirty seconds as the guns re-primed.

MIF1
The MIF1 fleet continued to approach, watching as the first heat blooms formed around the ASDN ships.

"I guess you made your choice, and just so you know your dead meat," he said still in an indifferent tone. The sabot rounds would be met by an indomitable fleet. The Soveriegn Emperor began to fire interceptor rounds. Equipped with the state of the art DART the 600 sea skimmers were knocked down to only 100 enough of which had been knocked off course.

30 hit the Sovereign Emperor doing no damage whatsoever. The ship didn't even shake from the hit. Some hit the patrol boats which burst into flames.

"My turn," he simply said as over 6000 SS-N-25 'Switchblades' were launched at all woad ships surrounding the larger ships. They were meant not to waste ammo on small fries but to create a hunk of sinking metal around the ships forming a barrier and giving the physcological affect.

Death Regional Commander Sara Hinkes pressed 4 detonators. The C4 rings on the first and second rings and the midway point between the first and second and the second and third ring detonated killing off most of the second wave and stopping the charging soldiers. Machine guns mowed down whoever was left standing as many of the medics and first wave were wiped out as well. Some FPAR troops began to retreat seeing that victory would not be so simple.

Death Guard snipers made it difficult for any one taking cover and the snipers were protected behind the parapets of the fort.
The Fort
The Northern Baltic commanders grew frustrated.
So many losses... so little gain...
"I have an idea... what say we use the missiles?"
"Of course! I nearly forget about them!"
A dozen Frog-7 missiles (each loaded with a powerful EMP) were brought up from the rear munitions depots. The missiles, though it was doubted that they could take out the electronics inside of the base, could at least disable the computers and electronic equipment of the Death Guards, rendering their nightvision and infared inoperable. Katusha rocket launchers, along with plenty of rockets, were also brought from the rear. The artillery were moved around into different locations, covered by a constant smoke screen. Then, in one second, everything began firing at the same time. The rockets, the emps, the artillery guns, and the mortars. During the bombardment, brave men tried to stay in the smoke screen to retrieve wounded personal.

The Substation
In a low whisper.
"Ay, sir, we found it. Right over there, past those trees."
The commander peered at what the solider was pointing to through his binoculars.
"Alright. We need to eliminate it. Send your men to take up positions here. I'll tell the other three groups to set up positions here, here and here. Once we complete an encirclement, we'll move forward, in sync, and eliminate all resistance. Once the alarm is raised, we can bring to bear our full firepower. Our mortars and RPG-7s can only be used at the time. Understood?"
"Yes sir!"
The orders were repeated to the others.

The Ralkovian Death Guard did not lose night vision or thermals after all they were built into the ralkovian death guards eyes. Death Guard had their eyes replaced with electronic eyes, the back of there skull extended to fit in a computer that attached directly to the eyes and the brain.

The death guard had to have this EMP-proof or they would be as blind and as deaf as well a guy without eyes who was deaf. These hawk-eyes as they were called gave the death guard unmanagable accuracy, skill, and capability. There eyes could zoom in to a target hundreds of yards away and focus on it and see its face like a hawk. They didn't need binoculars or any assistive sensory devices, they had them all built in. Soon enough they would be replaced with death guard who had the ability hear and see better genetically.

Of course some of the computers were knocked out disabling auto-turrets on the walls. Death Guard from the front were sent to get the turrets to operate manually removing precious soldiers from the field.


The death guard didn't lose an inch from the third ring. Death guard casualties finally reached the 1000 mark but FPAR forces reached around the quarter of a million mark (251,528) men. This was not going well for the FPAR and word of death guard reinforcements(rumored) coming was beginning to cause desertion.
----------------------------------------------------

The substation was barely defended 2 Town Militia soldiers guarded the station that provided not only power to Tzualvia and Château-Gaillarâ but to the small town of Veronda. Veronda was neutral with only a population of about 2,000, it was quite quaint and had no real value except for a small scientific facility based around necklogen research. The militia weren't really doing anything but protecting it from vandals and were more police than actual soldier. They were totally unprepared for the attack.

(Ascelonia telegram of nationstates for you)

( Baltic, Morta is independent, they hate the monarchy and they hate FPAR. They are more radical rightist and they would have sided with TUB had it not been for TUBs now more middle ground views)

The death guard grabbed her arms and wrestled her to the ground. She was strong and quickly turned him over so she was on top. He began to crush her arm to prevent her from stabbing him. Instead she got the knife right into his wrist computer. His head helmet came rolling off revealing a kid of about 18. He fought back but she got her arm free he had only been a death guard for 3 months and now he was about to die. He tried to stop her.

Kate pulled the knife out of the wrist computer and threw it directly at his neck. Her left arm was crushed, and she knew she would have to do her mission extremely quickly.

The death guard was dead, he had been dysfunctional and would have been useless anyway.

A patrol of death guard could be heard coming to where katie was

"Shit!" whispered Kate, as she heard the patrol. The dead body would defiantly alert them.

She tried to pull up the death guard once, and failed. He was heavy with all that armour. A second time, she lifted him into a fireman's lift, walked towards the bushes and threw his body in a ditch.

"Well, I.." said one of the death guards, approaching rapidly.

Kate jumped into the ditch with the death guard, and she felt a huge pain in her left leg. It was broken. Thus, she was holding her breath, her clothes torn madly, a dead humanoid beside her. Perfect.

"How the fuck will I do this now?" she thought, picking up her G-16.

She aimed down it's sights, then put a silencer on it. She aimed carefully at one of the death guards heads, and shot it, quickly firing a second bullet directly at the other one.

The last heir of Ascelon breathed easily, much more easily than since the First Great War, though the scars were not entirely gone. With Rose at his side, he planned to go on with the wedding. He murmurred fantastic ideas about how the wedding would be carried out.

"I guess you made your choice, and just so you know your dead meat," he said still in an indifferent tone. The sabot rounds would be met by an indomitable fleet. The Soveriegn Emperor began to fire interceptor rounds. Equipped with the state of the art DART the 600 sea skimmers were knocked down to only 100 enough of which had been knocked off course.

30 hit the Sovereign Emperor doing no damage whatsoever. The ship didn't even shake from the hit. Some hit the patrol boats which burst into flames.

OOC:How'd u deal with the Sabot rounds? And from what, exactly, are you launching 6 000 missiles? you don't have enough ships for that . . . .less you have no missile defense and u just used your missile defenses to knock down my salvo .. .

Defensive missile Actions+casualities
"nothing new there" muttered Hawk under his breath as the enemy missile storm launched. Shield class Ships began a massive barrage of Jamming and the first wave of counter missiles were launch micro second after the enemy launch was recorded. Two launches of Pilum class missiles got off at the enemy volley for a total of 692 counter missiles at extreme range. With a relatively poor single hit kill ratio those missiles took out 470 of the massive enemy Salvo. then shorter range missiles launched as launch cells went to full auto-mode. 900 Javelins, 582 Longbow and 830 Arrow missiles Screamed toward the remainder of the enemy Salvo. Jammers and Decoys howled drawing more enemy missiles of target and Styx CIWS Fired thousands of rounds at incoming enemy Missiles. Of the massive 6 000 strong enemy salvo 2570 were taken down by counter missiles. Another 1 500 were knocked horribly off course by either proximity strikes or Jamming. Styx systems performed admirably but they got just one shot at each individual enemy missile and they were'nt perfect. Nearly 1 000 enemy missiles broke through that final barrier and all of them had, originally, been targeted at the Pike class destroyers. Some went after Capital ships instead and the Woadraidr shrugged off nearly 20 hits suffering no damage except to its armor. The Dreadnoughts took a further 70 hits between the two of them and personnel died as the missiles broke through the massive armor but they remained fully functional. By some freak chance a single Sword class destroyer walked into a hundred and fifty strong salvo and disintegrated as its magazines blew. one of the shields took ten solid strikes but survived if only as a floating hulk and personnel evac'ed off of it. A further 50 missiles rained randomly down on the remaining shields, swords and the 4 carriers. That left 700 enemy missiles and they went after their assigned targets 25 pike class destroyers each took just under 30 hits a piece. Two survived and personnel evacuated from them fast.

Offensive missile actions
As the enemy forces launched the Pike class destroyers realized they wouldn't survive and launched the entire remainder of their magazines in three short volleys. The rest of the ASD'ian Ships joined in and 3 150 ASD'ian missiles Launched back into the face of the enemy fleet in three salvos as the Protectorates own Increased speed heading straight for the enemy fleet. of that number 2 000 were cruise missiles configured for sea attack and 1 150 were the remainder of the Harpoon class sea skimmers. All had ASD'ian developed Necklogen Reactive Rounds (or NRRs). Having been able to test their ammo on ennemy equipment salvaged during the first war, chemicals that reacted strongly with necklogen had been mixed and added to the standard explosive mix used in the ASD'ian missiles. If those warheads struck Necklogen armor, they would ract massively creating Huge amounts of heat energy and slamming holes through the enemy armor.

Offensive Gun actions
the coil guns got off two rounds before the enemy missiles launched and 32 Sabot rounds streaked inwards towards the enemy fleet.

Offensive Torpedo Actions
300 Torpedoes Launched at the, now in range, enemy subs. ASW helicopters had Identified 8 of the enemy SSBNs and 5 other subs as well as all of the enemy leviathans and 3 launches from ass of the pikes beofre they were lost streaked towards their targets

Airforce
Apparently the Ralkovians had decided to ignore the oncoming aircraft and the entirety of the Protectorate's Own Air wing were coming very close to launch range on the enemy ships.

The militia weren't really doing anything but protecting it from vandals and were more police than actual soldier. They were totally unprepared for the attack.

The Fort
The bombardment continued and three dozen more Frog-7 missiles were brought up from the back, this time armed with high explosives. They were fired only at the walls of the fort. More and more Katusha rockets and artillery shells clouded the night sky with their brilliant trails of glowing red. Heavy 203mm Type 95 (Northern Baltic built) Howitzers began arriving. They were quickly moved up to the front and began firing at various targets. Their distinctive boom was heard and created an almost symphony-like setting. A symphony of destruction.

The Northern Baltic commander thought.
Men are deserting. I cannot allow this to happen. Although things are not looking well for us, we can still win this...
On that note, he called up Northern Baltic Missile Command and requested access to the two orbiting Ion cannons.
Destroying the fort is out of the question, but maybe we can lighten up resistance around the fort a little. It will have to be done at the right moment...
He checked the time.
Dawn is soon. I must hurry if I wish for my plan to work.
A large portion of the men guarding the West side of the encirclement were moved to the East, with more mines and explosives set down to assist the remaining troops there in case of a counterattack.
The Northern Baltic Commander gathered the men around and, armed with a microphone, began his speech.
"Fellow Comrades and Soldiers. Today, we fight not just as members of the FPAR, but as human beings. We have a duty, no... no we have an obligation as human beings and citizens of this world to end the wrongdoing that exists in Ralkovia. We have already started. We have already began to eliminate the scourge of liberty and domestic tranquility that thrives on the screams of innocents. And we MUST continue it here. There is no help coming for them. There is no escape for them. And we must stomp out this sickness right here and right now!" At that moment, the two Ion Exciter canons activated. One was aimed at the 3rd defensive line and the other was aimed at the 4th defensive line. Each completed a full circle around the fort.

As he finished his speech, 500 heavy LBN-1 tanks and hundreds of BMP-3s arrived. The new attack plan was as follows: the tanks and armored units would advance slowly, from the east only, with 300,000 mixed infantry behind them under a creeping artillery barrage (while the rockets would fire a constant barrage at the remaining enemy artillery positions). Small assault squads accompanied by engineers would advance in front of the units and check for hidden traps and clear obstacles. As the sun rose, smoke launchers and grenades would attempt to blur the enemy's vision while the army units would advance at a moderate pace. Victory was essential to the FPAR's survival.

The Substation
Only two men? the Commander thought.
"Take 985 men into town and request a meeting with the townspeople to try to bring them to the FPAR's side. I'll take 15 men and go down to the substation to talk to the men down there."
The Commander slung his rifle over his back and most of his men did the same, however 4 of the Shujunese held their rifles, but kept their grips relatively relaxed to assure the men guarding the substation would not get overly nervous.

( on phone expect response soon)

(ORBAT of the planes

As for the amount of missiles, the sovereign has over 3000 silos on its forward and back deck. I'll try and get a picture in soon enough but its equivalent in having an entire nimitz aircraft deck full of missile silos. If you can get a magazine hit on my Sovereign the blast wave will cause a tsunami and destroy most of my fleet.)


Admiral Cerasulo shouted for battlestations. The two electromagnetic gunships took the hits from the sabot and one of the launchers was disabled while the other one was damaged in the rotary tract lessening its range. The gunship fired while it could, the nuke span out of control and instead of hitting the protectorate ships it instead hit right in front of MIF 1. The 10 megaton explosion erupted on top of the water creating a huge inferno that could be seen all across ralkovia and lit the night sky a sunny yellow.

The new sabot rounds completely virtually knocked out the electromagnetic gunship and coil gun round completely destroyed the gun making it irrepairable as well as disabling and sinking the ship.
--------------------------------------------

The ralkovians hadn't been stupid and missile defense shields were enacted. The 2000 cruise missiles were easily struck out by screaming bats(screecher missiles in the air) and DARTs but of course not all could be stopped and almost 200 got through the defense, Gatling guns rattled away at the missiles lowering the number to about 80. Of those 100, 20 hit 2 kuznetsov aircraft carriers sending them to the bottom. Another 20 hit the other electromegnetic gunboat which was clad in necklogen armor. The effect was devastating as the armor did not explode but increase in heat, the entire ship became an oven as men cooked inside the compartments. Many of the 5000 crew were cooked alive as they were burned alive. Only 200 got out of the heavily armored "unsinkable" ship. Another 30 vaporized 90 "problem" boats.

Lastly, 10 hit the Sovereign. They shook the front violently. Admiral Cerasulo sighed as he pressed several buttons that closed down the compartments. The necklogen hull had been breached but it was being repaired as sheets of metal slid into place."Full speed, tell the patrol boats to head forward," he said before heading to his bedroom to get his breather.


Ralkovian fighter jets launched towards the incoming vessels. They were special ones created by Josh himself, a take off of the F-22, they were the perfect interceptors, fast, maneuvrable, and deadly. They were sent with growlers and AWACs to try and shut down their operations.

The last land turrets fired at the heavy tanks there heavy pounding artillery easily able to pass through the tanks and kill them and the infantry behind them. Though it soon became useless as the artillery was disabled by the enemy counter artillery. The castles outer walls soon began to crumble as the enemy artillery pounded the walls. Machine guns responded mowing down rows of FPAR troops. Casualties on both sides were rising as death guard casualties reached almost 5000. Casualties on the FPAR has begun to raise to 180,000 on this new wave of soldiers.

"Shit!" whispered Kate, as she heard the patrol. The dead body would defiantly alert them.

She tried to pull up the death guard once, and failed. He was heavy with all that armour. A second time, she lifted him into a fireman's lift, walked towards the bushes and threw his body in a ditch.

"Well, I.." said one of the death guards, approaching rapidly.

Kate jumped into the ditch with the death guard, and she felt a huge pain in her left leg. It was broken. Thus, she was holding her breath, her clothes torn madly, a dead humanoid beside her. Perfect.

"How the fuck will I do this now?" she thought, picking up her G-16.

She aimed down it's sights, then put a silencer on it. She aimed carefully at one of the death guards heads, and shot it, quickly firing a second bullet directly at the other one.


The other death guard used his dead squadmate as a shield before throwing himself on top of the woman. He held her arms out and her legs spreading her eagle position before barking out an alert on his radio. Death guard swarmed her position as she was stripped, searched, and dragged naked back to the facility for interrogation.

The death guard all had there turns beating the shit out of kate for their 2 comrades deaths. One had been a Nyana(kid) soldier who helped entertain the unit with humor the other one had been a sergeant for almost 20 years. Both were precious to the unit and they each had there turn with kate.

Finally Commisar Derrick Gallulla entered, he was human and not a death guard."Well it seems the death guard had their fun with you, you still breathing?"

The ion cannons completely destroyed the 3rd ring and damaged the 4th ring.

The Fort
As the artillery rounds headed at the LBN-1 tanks, the front ER armor was set off. This saved some of the tanks, but many were destroyed. Even still, the FPAR forces advanced. As the tanks came in range of the what remained of the 4th ring, the LBN-1 tanks let loose their 135mm guns, while the BMP-3s fired off their 100mm grenade launchers and the T-72 tanks belonging to the FPAR fired their 125mm guns. As the wave closed in on the 4th ring, 200,000 infantry rushed into the 3rd defensive ring and quickly moved to fortify it to allow them to cover their advancing Comrades. Snipers and mortar teams would take up positions and assist in eliminating snipers on the walls.

Traskov
As the FPAR forces retreated from Ralkovia, they were met by 150,000 fresh Shujunese troops advancing on Ralkovia. The Shujunese troops quickly rallied the men with an excellent speech and took volunteers out of the remaining FPAR forces to whom would be going back to finish what they started. Ralkovia would be captured. No matter how long it took.

MIF1
A nuclear device landing directly in front a city would have leveled it. Instead It struck in front of the fleet. and/while the damage was bad, it was not obliterating. For some reason Ships can survive remarkably well against nuclear blasts, a single shield took the brunt of the enemy strike, leading as it was, and two of the swords also took heavy damage and dropped back but the nearby CFF was entirely undamaged and, while some systems were burnt out by radiation, Anti-Rad and NBC systems protected the crews inside who were already at battle stations. Six coil gun rounds boomed in return as the MIF1 entered firing range. Trailing the main combatants of the fleet were dozens of smaller craft carrying the full marine contingent.

Protectorate's Own
The remainder of the fleet continued to bore in on the enemy fleet, its 22 remaining coil guns spitting defiance at the enemy in the form of 44 rounds per minute (total)

(A necklogen nuke would actually cause the water around the entire MIF fleet to boil and in some cases just evaporate. The real damage would be the fact that the boiling water would hit the ships in huge tidal waves making metal extremely hot. This would hopefully burn out engines and even destroy watercooled machinery. Men would have to be extremely careful when walking around the ship and could not go on deck. Weaponry and machinery on deck would most likely be disabled as any sensors or computers on it would be heated by water as well as the heat radiation(Not nuclear radiation) would melt most most of it down.

Thermals would be useless as the entire area would be heated and creating huge evaporation clouds filled of boiling water which would be rained down on the ships if they headed towards the region.

The overall firestorm of a necklogen bomb lasts for almost 20 minutes and then the heat stays there for almost an hour as necklogen atoms separate and burn out.

A necklogen nuke is not really a nuke, its more like a star, a thermobaric bomb, and a nuclear bomb having a threesome in which the sperm of the star and the nuke combine to form a hybrid and enter the thermobaric bomb creating a super kid who becomes a body builder who takes a kilogram of steroids a day and works out 24/7.

A necklogen nuke causes damage through blastwave and immense heat which can be radiated through the air[which becomes superheated and turns into plasma around the core of the blast and becomes super hot for many miles. An experiment with this turned the great plains of ralkovia aflame as superheated air turned the vast fields of dying grain and yellow shrubs into a burning field]
Land[A firestorm can collapse on its self and create an expanding ring of fire which turns the ground and the underground into a burning mess. In a secret test an entire island was destroyed by a necklogen bomb placed almost a mile underground. It turned the island into an inferno below ground that rised above ground.]
And water [which often boils for many miles around the center and because of how the necklogen atom can stay super hot even in subzero temperatures.

Necklogen Positive by itself is not very dangerous, it has the ability to retain heat, electricity, and all sorts of energy for extremely long periods of time without losing it. It has been used for batteries and electrical wiring.

Necklogen Negative by itself is what a lot of structural material, armor, and weapons are made up of in ralkovia due to its titanium like qualities. Necklogen negative is lightweight but offers huge strength, an inch thick piece of necklogen negative can take the same pressure as 2 feet of reinforced concrete.

Then there is necklogen neutral it is the most necessary of the 3 necklogen types, it is found naturally in the positive and negative types and it allows necklogen negative and positive to coincide peacefully together. Pretty much Necklogen neutral is the only thing that prevents the two types from coming together in explosions like the necklogen nukes. To create the explosions necklogen neutral has to be removed from samples of necklogen positive and necklogen negative. The yield of a necklogen nuke is weighed by how much neutral is in two samples. For any sort of reaction between the positive and negative about 30% of necklogen neutral has to be removed. This process takes not millions of dollars but billions to get into the kiloton yield, to get into the megaton it costs trillions by normal means. It also takes many years to do this making necklogen nukes very inefficient in cost for yield. That means the chances of terrorists or countries using a necklogen nuke are nill to none. Because why spend billions to get a single necklogen bomb when you can spend the same amount of money to get almost a hundred nuclear bombs.

Josh, Emperor Josh found a way to lower the cost and years. The process is extremely secretive and when Josh died the process died with him. This has brought about the end to necklogen bomb production. The bombs that Josh left behind are the only ones left and after they are all used up thats it for the necklogen bombs as well as necklogen generators.)

The Fort
As the artillery rounds headed at the LBN-1 tanks, the front ER armor was set off. This saved some of the tanks, but many were destroyed. Even still, the FPAR forces advanced. As the tanks came in range of the what remained of the 4th ring, the LBN-1 tanks let loose their 135mm guns, while the BMP-3s fired off their 100mm grenade launchers and the T-72 tanks belonging to the FPAR fired their 125mm guns. As the wave closed in on the 4th ring, 200,000 infantry rushed into the 3rd defensive ring and quickly moved to fortify it to allow them to cover their advancing Comrades. Snipers and mortar teams would take up positions and assist in eliminating snipers on the walls.

Traskov
As the FPAR forces retreated from Ralkovia, they were met by 150,000 fresh Shujunese troops advancing on Ralkovia. The Shujunese troops quickly rallied the men with an excellent speech and took volunteers out of the remaining FPAR forces to whom would be going back to finish what they started. Ralkovia would be captured. No matter how long it took.
------------------------------------
Fort
The fortress outer guns soon fell silent, fighting was now reserved for the inside of the fortress. The death guard fought valiantly to the end killing almost 50,000 FPAR troops. Finally though the fighting reached the main keep and all was lost as death guard numbers withered to only 100 men.

The fortress soon fell as the last death guard were overwhelmed. The toll for both sides were gruesome. All death guard gone while 2 translators were the only survivors of the army sent to help relieve traskov. The 2 women were found huddling behind a bed. Each was treated brutally by the FPAR troops before being brought to the Baltic commander,"They are the only survivors of the army," laughed one of the soldiers as he dragged the half naked women in front of the commander.

Traskov
Death Guard artillery battered anything that came within the city range but soon it fell silent. A few FPAR spies had sacrificed themselves and threw themselves at the artillery with C4 disabling them.

The FPAR forces soon entered the city with the Baltic troops. Fighting was intense as death guard took positions in the buildings and fought from there. Mortars turned entire roads into pot holes. Tanks were given no room to move either. The roads to overpacked or filled with rubbish to maneuver.

The Fort
The Northern Baltic commanders looked the FPAR solider laughing at the woman in disgust.
"Medics! Get these two women back to good health. I want them to be treated well."
Then, while standing on top of the ruined battlements of the fort with a raised FPAR flag next to him, he shouted down to troops below.
"Today, Comrades, we have proven that freedom can prevail over totalitarianism! Today, we have shown the Death Guard that we can encounter them on the battlefield that they selected and defeat them. Today, victory is ours. However, this victory was not without a price. Many brave men have died today and now, in commemoration of their sacrifice, let us give a few moments of silence for them."

Weapons and ammo were gathered and a team of engineers was assembled to repair and rebuild the fortress. After, it would be manned by a small, but sizable group of FPAR troops to guard the land.

Traskov
The heavy LBN-1 tanks activated their dozer blades. When that did not work, they could often simply run over the debris, allowing their extreme weight to press it down for the other forces to follow. The FPAR troops practiced heavy-handed urban warfare tactics. If a building was found to have enemy troops in it, it was simply leveled by use of tanks, rocket launchers, C4, grenades, and artillery. More Type 95 203mm artillery gun arrived to assist with this matter.

FPAR bases
More and more equipment was arriving. A total of 90 million Ak-47s had arrived so far, along with 100 million IMI Desert Eagles, 3,000 T-72BM tanks, and 30,000 OTO Melara Mod 56s. Machines to mass produce 7.62 ammo was also arriving, which would allow the FPAR to provide a constant supply for themselves and for the Northern Baltic troops currently deployed there (they use the AEK-971).

Fort

Allie and Catherine waited for the FPAR commander to come in. They had been drafted by the death guard almost a year ago as translators. Both were pretty beautiful women with many ralkovian characteristics. There knowledge of death guard language was very large, the grunts and growls were easily turned into words. There knowledge was invaluable to the death guard community but they were still afraid of them.




Traskov

The death guard held strong using an anti-tank weapon called a Harpoon, they set up traps for the tanks and armored vehicles. One such trap was the swinging bat trap. In which a necklogen harpoons was fired with a necklogen chain at the back of it. The harpoons shared the same chain cord with a necklogen chain between two buildings. The tank would be stuck to the harpoon and then pulled up by a heavy object. The tank would move like a pendulum and hit anything in the front or back of it.

These traps were uncommon but the fear of getting caught made FPAR troops advance slowly while death guard could regroup. Mines hidden in the road or out in the open were also common traps with death guard snipers often waiting for engineers to come and disarm the traps before killing them.

The death guard were successively slowing the enemy advance through the city. Commander Brenda of the Traskov Militia yelled for help on the radio. She needed some or Traskov would fall. Though as long as they held Traskov hill they had complete control of the city. Traskov hill had a fort built into it the front of it was very thick which made artillery and tank shots useless against it. The back of it was slanted upward and had hundreds of slots for anti-tank and machine guns. It was the main fort in the region of traskov and had to be taken if the city was to be captured.

However FPAR had to advance much further to get to the fort.

the tanks moved they The tank was then hoisted

OOC: Edit: I'm so nice.

"Sir, another civil war has broken out. In Ralkovia."
"Again?"
"Yessir. Bloodthirsty bastards, aren't they?" The Commandant's boot's echoed on the flooring as he stepped over the bright control panel of the VTN Vermillion. "Shall I alert her Majesty?"
"May as well. We need some live-fire practise for the troops."
---
A few minutes later, a message was recevied at Fort Fidei Defensor detailing the battles. It was then passed on from base to base until it finally reached the Karasi garrison, where it was read to Emperess Whyt, who nodded, asked a few questions, scowled when the messenger could not answer them and then orded a message sent to the Imperials, the facists and the communists, each one bearing a message which (although written more politely) essentially read 'Give us one good damn reason to help."

( thanks)

The communist FPAR remembering the bloody battles the Void had put ralkovia through answered back,"You are like vultures who pick up the scraps. We do not need your help, you would only kill us all."



TUB answered back in desperate need of aid,"because we will provide order to the chaos engulfing ralkovia. We will be a strong and just government and we will not allow communism to reign. We ask of your assistance because we have been the ones who have only defended ralkovia."
(Just so you know the leader of TUB is Judas's son Judas II, he kills Judas for his betrayal of the Empire of Ralkovia and the temporary government welcomes him as a hero. Later when the ralkovian empire begins to shatter he is blamed and becomes a scape goat.)


The Imperial Government answered back,"We are the true leaders of ralkovia. You the void know that a monarchy is the only way to rule. We have ruled that way for almost 5,000 years. Your Empress and are late Emperor were friends."

(Yes but don't mention the site by name or people will start using the designs before I do. Could you edit to get rid of the name thanks)

OOC: Done. Heh, you better start using them quick boy. I'm gunna be using a number of them myself. Anyway, I'm off for a few hours now, I'll reply to any posts when I'm back.

(The robot things are mine!!!!!!! NO TOUCHY!!!!!! How about we work this out on messenger, you still have your yayforpirates account right?)

(I'm confused. What exactly do I do now?)

Aboard the TSS Triton

"Shit... what are we gonna do if we get caught with this nuclear bomb?" asked Dmitri through a breathing hole in his crate. The crates were packed with food packages to ensure that they would not be suspected.

"Simple. We blow it up," Carl smiled, but Dmitri couldn't see it. "Relax. We won't get caught."

"How do you know? We're stowaways. They're bound to find us," Dmitri replied.

"No," he laughed. "We're wearing stealth suits that prevent them from detecting heat nor seeing us. We should be virtually invisible. As for the bomb, they won't be able to find much of it. It's disguised as a vending machine and will easily bypass customs since they will assume that this is foreign aid arriving from Ascelonia."

In a third crate among many other crates, was a vending machine. No. The vending machine.

(I could just imagine a kid putting in a dollar to buy a bag of chips and then the nuke goes off)

(ROFL... it's going to be supplied to a military base.)

The other death guard used his dead squadmate as a shield before throwing himself on top of the woman. He held her arms out and her legs spreading her eagle position before barking out an alert on his radio. Death guard swarmed her position as she was stripped, searched, and dragged naked back to the facility for interrogation.

The death guard all had there turns beating the shit out of kate for their 2 comrades deaths. One had been a Nyana(kid) soldier who helped entertain the unit with humor the other one had been a sergeant for almost 20 years. Both were precious to the unit and they each had there turn with kate.

Finally Commisar Derrick Gallulla entered, he was human and not a death guard."Well it seems the death guard had their fun with you, you still breathing?"

Kate's eyes blinked open slowly. She had been knocked out earlier and couldn't seem to remember a thing. She looked around, then noticed a 'born-for-uniform' type of man in front of her, staring at her chest.

She looked at her chest. Naked.

"Taking it they raped me?" she asked, coughing up some blood.

SNIP
OOC: yayforninjas@hotmail.co.uk . Add me and we'll discuss it there.

IC: The messages were brought before the Council and read out one at a time. The first one was the FPAR message, which was greeted by a volley of laughs.
"It's so nice to see we're remembered?"

"Why did we even send this message to a bunch of Red idiots?"

After the room had settled down, the message from the imperials was read.
"They are right. Their monarchy has a right to their throne."

"And seeing another ruler lose their throne might incite the rebels further."

"But they don't have a good history of keeping their bloody chair recently, have they?!"
This was met with murmers of agreement. Finally, the TUB message was brought forward.
"They seem like the only real choice."

"The Imperials too weak-"

"And the communists too- well, communist."

"And I believe they will be fairly easy to manipulate."

"Very well." Tara handed one of the three letters from her podium to the messenger, who bowed and ran off. "We shall align with the United Branches. Prepare a Marine detachment for an amphibious assualt."
((OOC: Good beach to land on? Preferably friendly.))

"Nope death guard are eunuchs they get no pleasure from sex, they do however like to beat the shit out of people. Your lucky I am in command or you would have....well the penalty for killing a death guard in their eyes is being skinned alive...and worse. Now my question is why did you kill to death guard? Your obviously not from around here but death guard are known world wide for their brutality and skill. Attacking them head on by yourself will usually only end in death."

(Blackwell city or Portcove. I'll get you a map

http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/arrondock/?action=view&current=MAPOFSHATTERINGPOINTAdvancements-1.jpg )

"Why should I tell what I was doing here?" she smiled.

She stared into the marshal's eyes, almost seeing through him. It was a tactic she had learnt off her female colleagues.

Men can't resist.

He smiled straight back,"Because I'm inclined to let the death guard finish you off and trust me once they start on a bloodlust its hard to stop." He turned to show a large bandage on the side of his head,"Now what were you trying to do, obviously you were on a suicide mission."

(I might need to go soon)

She nodded. "I'll die either way, by the same way," she sighed. "Have they eaten my clothes?"

She muttered someting much like "Fuck, I hope he doessn't find the ID in the trousers.."

As the message reached the Ralkovians, the fleet was already assembled. Numerous lone craft, small patrols, colony guard garrisons and even a whole Aircraft carrier battlegroup had joined up to create a veritable floating city. Each ship was connected by extending bridges, one to another, and the sailors and marines moved about, gathering supplies and having their final rec time before a Military Intervention And Peacekeeping Mission was officially declared.

By their shells tearing into the enemy's faces, of course.

They were also waiting on the 5 Marine Assualt Ships sent from Lonun itself, great hulking armored behemoths which were designed for long range transportation and storage of troops, sometimes over years, while being able to carry amphibious tanks, APCs and a small detachment of air support each. As such, they did take a little while to get from place to place, but they were expected shortly and once they arrived and word was received from the Ralkovians, they would formally begin.

The 'peacekeeping' detachment was lead by General Stroud and, as per usual, there was an air of 'Cry Havok!' amongst the troops.

"Well you won't be killed not while I'm holding the death guard back. And even if I you did tell me and I let you go to the death guard you wouldn't die at least not until they want you to. They would have fun torturing you until you were nothing but an annoyance instead of entertainment and that usually takes years."

Chris opened his eyes weakly and found Rose sitting patiently nearby.

"How long have I been in here?" he asked and gave it a second though. "How long have you been in here?"

"Long enough," she said kissing and holding him tight."I was so scared!" She said still kissing and holding him.



Claudio Austronitz answered the void radio call,"This is TUB port command, you are authorized to enter the port. Commander Jeffery will be waiting for you at the dock."

(Wait. Who was Claudio radioing to?)

Chris hugged her and kissed her back.

"So... are we getting married?" he asked grinning.

(The void fleet)

"anything," she said holding him tighter.

Claudio Austronitz answered the void radio call,"This is TUB port command, you are authorized to enter the port. Commander Jeffery will be waiting for you at the dock."

"Sir, got a response."
"Rodger that. Relay it over the fleet com, tell them to hold position offshore, watch for any enemy activity." A horn sounded, marking the arrival of the marine fleet. 5 great square black bulks looming towards them. "Ah, there are the grunts now." The fleet then moved off heading towards the coast.

A fair while later, the ad-hoc battlegroup stopped dead, a section in the front of one of the troop carriers opening and a ramp sliding out, down which a single Ariggator Amphibious APC (http://www.aiad.it/upload/aziende/azienda_/ARISGATOR.jpg) rolled down, smashing into the water and then making for the shore. It arrived moments later, a hatch on the top opening. A Marine (http://www.dailygame.net/images/screens/Killzone-2/Killzone-2_05.jpg) pulled himself out, pistol holstered but grip firmly in hand. He walked over to Commander Jeffery and saluted with his other hand. Pistol whipping a friendly commander was not in his best interests.
"Major Kane Whyt sir. I'm second in command of your support."

"Okay. We'll hold it at the Imperial Isle south of New Ascelonia City. I'll give you my entire country," he looked into her eyes. They kind of twinkled with loving emotions.

"Good, very good, Major Whyt, you arrived just in time. We are about to prevent an enemy take over at Morta. It is a necklogen mining facility, with it the death guard will have a new supply of weaponry and armor and that cannot be allowed. We are sending a combined army of over 800,000 soldiers and armor to stop them. They cannot be allowed the facility. We also know that one of Emperor Joshs labs is in the mine, you may remember the island incident a few years back, if they get ahold of that lab they might uncover some of Emperor Joshs inventions and we will all be screwed."

"Anything, Anywhere, as long as we are together," she said. Her mind had stopped using logic and was just as lovestruck as Chris. For the first time in her life she felt that she was wanted and loved. She couldn't stop thinking about chris.

"Good, very good, Major Whyt, you arrived just in time. We are about to prevent an enemy take over at Morta.

"Affirmative. I will of course be bringing a few of my own men. And, while we're talking, is there anywhere I can bring in supplies? Heavy armor and the like?" A number more of the APC's began pouring forth from the troop carriers, moving down to the docks, each one carrying a squad of troops.

"This dock is huge enough to service 50 aircraft carriers, we have the largest drydocks in ralkovia, and a platform that can raise or lower to meet the ships top"

"This dock is huge enough to service 50 aircraft carriers, we have the largest drydocks in ralkovia, and a platform that can raise or lower to meet the ships top"

"Impressive. I'll send word to command to send in the heavy weapons." He turned at a call from one his soldiers. "Excuse me, commander. I must see to my soldiers and inform them of the plan. Tell your men to wait for me outside the city. I'll rendevous there, and then we'll head to Morta. Ave." He saluted once more then moved away over to his marines.

"I'm receiving information though that the woad fleet with Empress Maria on it is being attacked by IRON(what is left of the ralkovian navy) hopefully her ship will be destroyed and the Old government leader killed"

ASD'ian fleets
The initial blast front, that had done almost no damage, was followed by a much more impressive heat wave. Across BOTH asd'ian fleets (and presumably the Ralkovian fleet as well) temperatures skyrocketed. Asd'ian ships had built in Liquid Sodium cooling Systems in case of a nuclear melt down on any of the ships but despite that, weapons ports began to weld shut and amunition cooked off at the remarkably high heat. Fortunately all the ships affected were Heavily armored and the rounds did not penetrate but even so Offensive and defensive capabilities fell to about nill. The ASD'ian ships of both fleets Immediately began backing off. Fleeing for the mouth of the gulf of Ralkovia because, though casualties were nil, their offensive strength was gone. In the air pilots scrambled to put altitude between themselves and the blast. Helicopter pilots managed to put their craft down before the blast front arrived and all of the ASD"ian aircraft managed to stay above it.

Airforce actions
Now slated to cover the retreat of their fleets, Hawk-1 (modified F-35s see factbook for stats) Strike fighters and most of the AWAKS fell back flying overhead the ASD'ian fleet. The Interceptors volleyed two long range meteor class missiles at the enemy then turned tail and ran alongside the strike fighters. (meteors have a range of 100 km. These would be fired at near max range.)

The ralkovian planes backed off for now and headed back to the ship. Necklogen hulls protected the larger ships, the ships for now began backing off but got ready for a pursuit. Aircraft that were not on deck were fine while those above were melted to the asphault. It would take a while but Admiral Cerasulo was doing pretty good.

The two ASD'ian fleets continued to flee at high speed as engineering vessles launched from the CFF's attempting to get Weaponry back into working order. These fleet obviously were not handling the situation well being unsuited for open seas combat but reinforcements were a long way off.

OOC: or were they? Admiral hawk does control first fleet after all and it hasn't put in an appearance yet lmao.

The IRON fleet continued to follow the ASD fleet. Back on the ship Maria decided to go outside with Sophia."Mom what was dad like?"

Fort

Allie and Catherine waited for the FPAR commander to come in. They had been drafted by the death guard almost a year ago as translators. Both were pretty beautiful women with many ralkovian characteristics. There knowledge of death guard language was very large, the grunts and growls were easily turned into words. There knowledge was invaluable to the death guard community but they were still afraid of them.

However FPAR had to advance much further to get to the fort.

the tanks moved they The tank was then hoisted

The Fort
The women were brought back to camp and given something to eat and drink and were also provided with clothing while they waited. In a short while, a Shujunese officer walked in and sat down in a chair facing the two women. His narrow eyes widened when he took off his sunglasses and recognized the beauty of the two women.
He cleared his throat and spoke:
"We want you to tell us what you know."

Traskov
As the tanks advanced through the street and leveled house after house, they soon encountered the Harpoon tank-trap. However, when this trap was used against the LBN-1 tanks, it lacked the success rate that it had with the older tanks. The frontal ER armor sometimes diverted the harpoon from entered the tank and when it did hit, the massive weight of the LBN-1 was often to much for the counter-measure to pull down. However, when it did work, armored recovery vehicles, specially built to handle the LBN-1, were brought in to stop the tanks from swinging. This technique was used when other vehicles were caught in the Harpoon tank trap. Although their advance had slowed, it had no stopped yet. Reinforcements from the Shujunese Army were moving to reinforce the attack on the city. Katusha rocket artillery soon arrived and began pounding the enemy sectors of the city without particular targets.

Fort

They looked at the man,"We know language," they said.



Traskov

The advance had to be slowed, death guard would continue to fight with all their might utilizing everything they had to kill the enemy.

The IRON fleet continued to follow the ASD fleet. Back on the ship Maria decided to go outside with Sophia."Mom what was dad like?"

"He was wonderful as a husband and as a ruler he was impressive. His only fault, if he had one, was his intelligence, the weapons that are being used against us, even now, are a product of his research. That and he did have a tendancy to walk into dangerous situations."

Millitary Hospital [Codename:Alpha]
The flash cloning and memory implantation were complete. Josh should be waking at any moment but he would have no memory after the Gunfight near the end of the black blood war.

"FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Josh cursed waking up,"Dammit how long have I been asleep?"

"FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Josh cursed waking up,"Dammit how long have I been asleep?"

"Um, asleep may not be quite the right term." Replied Professor Bold From next to his bed. "There is definitely some filling in that needs to happen." Two Marines were flanking her just in case Josh was, less than happy, about the fact that he'd been revived.

"what year is it?" Josh said his face turning to the man, his face was serious.



On the ship
"Do you think Dad will be happy to see me?" Maria said turning to Sophia.

"what year is it?" Josh said his face turning to the man, his face was serious.



On the ship
"Do you think Dad will be happy to see me?" Maria said turning to Sophia.

OOC; actually i don't know! what year is it???

( 2020 sound good?)

( 2020 sound good?)

OOC:definitely. Making the war for the black blood aprox. 2000 ish. btw is the IRON fleet the one that Maria and Sophia are on . .. and if so is it helping/trainling the ASD'ian fleet?
IC:
"well, its 2020." Replied Bold. "Your in the ASD. More importantly you were alive for nearly 2 years after your last memory, this was just the best we could do. theres more as well but i'll give you a second with that much. Would you like a drink? Some Food?"

"Yes, I'm sure he will." Replied Sophia, "Just, be warned. He will probably be rather shocked by the fact that he has a daughter not to mention the fact that she's 20 years old."

(IRON is the one thats trailing your ships that just tried to attack you. Sophia and Maria are on the protectorates own)

"SHIT, What happened? Why wasn't I revived sooner?" Joshs mind raced with questions not to mention where was Sophia and what had happened to him. Why was he brought back. He calmed himself down as his thoughts slowly became clear. He knew he would have left himself messages and he could probably stay updated on what had happened.

"Do you think it was the right choice bringing him back? Do you think he will be angry?" she said. She sounded just like her father questioning everything.

(IRON is the one thats trailing your ships that just tried to attack you. Sophia and Maria are on the protectorates own)

"SHIT, What happened? Why wasn't I revived sooner?" Joshs mind raced with questions not to mention where was Sophia and what had happened to him. Why was he brought back. He calmed himself down as his thoughts slowly became clear. He knew he would have left himself messages and he could probably stay updated on what had happened.

"We couldn't. Not without the permission of your wife, and, well your daughter sir. More importantly the tech was unproven. Just to bring you up to speed. The last few years for Ralkovia have been, Rocky and worse, your nation is in a state of civil war. ASD'ian ships have Sophia and one of your daughters onboard but are under attack by a rogue element of your navy and are withdrawing." Replied Bold.

"I'm not sure," Replied Sophia. "I'm looking forward to seeing him again and it is the best decision for the nation I'm just not sure its the best decision for him."

Josh could only look down, his head raced with thoughts, what had happened?
He got up. He, he was alive and he wasn't supposed to be. It felt wierd to pretty much screw off death in the face."What do I need to do?"

Fort

They looked at the man,"We know language," they said.



Traskov

The advance had to be slowed, death guard would continue to fight with all their might utilizing everything they had to kill the enemy.
The Fort
The Shujunese Commander quickly cycled through his PDA and, after a few short moments, requested that a solider from 3rd Company, a professional linguist, come and document the language. The Commander explained to the 2 women that a linguist was coming to record the language. He then asked them what they wanted, after this mess was over.

Traskov
Although the losses mounted up, sheer determination caused the men to press forward. The older T-62 tanks given to the FPAR, which were now being replaced by T-72BM tanks, were converted into fully operational teletanks, complete with an autoloader cycled from ruined tanks. They would drive the teletanks, via remote control, down a street with the guns blazing. Since there was no way of knowing if these tanks were manned or not, it was expected that the Death Guard would utilize every resource in their inventory to destroy the tanks, thus saving the lives of soldiers.

Meanwhile, Il-28 drone bombers began arriving. They would fly 2,000 pound bombs to strategic targets, as well as test enemy air defenses for the 50 Tu-16 bombers, 200 Mig-29OVT fighters, and 300 Su-20 and 750 Nanchang Q-5s that would then be the creation of the new FPAR airforce. Those units, along with trainers, were on their way.

Kane and his soldiers approaced the TUB forces they were supporting.
"Christ, this all we got?"
"No matter. They'll just serve as a meat shield." The marine chuckled and stood back talking amongst themselves (mostly insulting their allies) while Kane walked to them and yelled, "Which one of you are the leader?"

Josh could only look down, his head raced with thoughts, what had happened?
He got up. He, he was alive and he wasn't supposed to be. It felt wierd to pretty much screw off death in the face."What do I need to do?"

"Here sir," Said bold. Holding up what appeared to be a set of goggles. "its essentially all recorded here. This will place it directly into your brain allowing you to make up about 20 years in something like 5 minutes"

OOC: would i be able to represent a capitalistic country in this. Its fine if not.

nnvr mind

Josh put on the goggles, after about five minutes he got up,"we need to head to one of my labs I kept an archive of information." Taking off the goggles he wrote down the coordinates of lab 1312. It was in the Grand Islands off the coast of the smallest island of Jinpottway.

Both women had wanted to go home, unfortunately home, the capital, had been destroyed in a necklogen bomb. They just asked if they could have some where to stay, somewhere where there was no fighting.

Traskov

Anti-aircraft rockets by the hundreds of thousands flew from the side of the mountain over to the aircrafts. Hundreds of flak guns opened up on the planes as the order was given to "Exterminate the city."

Artillery and flak guns pounded away at the city where enemy tanks were. Meanwhile the tunnels under traskov began to get filled with death guard as the second order was given to have all death guard who were veterans and heavily experienced to abandon the city and make their way to the training facility. The new death guard would kill as many as they could before retreating themselves and destroying the tunnel network.

Kane and his soldiers approaced the TUB forces they were supporting.

The two women were given permission to stay in The Northern Baltic embassy center, safe behind FPAR lines.

Traskov
Although the flak guns and missiles took down all the planes, many before they could reach their target areas, the planes were meant to be expendable and an order for more was placed.

As the death guard emerged from the tunnel network, rear guard units, though surprised at first, were reinforced by fresh Shujunese units. The FPAR rear guard forces then fought to keep the routes open, while the heavy infantry could retreat back to the outskirts of the town. When a tunnel entrance was spotted, an armored truck, filled with gasoline, was normally driven into the entrance and then, by use of either a remote detonator or a few artillery rounds, exploded.

Once the men retreated to the outskirts of the town, they could then begin to reinforce and refortify the defensive positions to defend the heavy 203mm artillery and light 75mm artillery as they pounded away at enemy positions.

"we are making the assault in 6 hours. Get some rest, we will soon see the fall of the old government."

"6 hours?" He turned around and relayed what the man had said in Templarian to his marines, then turned back. "They aren't exactly happy with that, they much prefer instant shock and awe, but very well.

(Its actually more of a direct tunnel between the fort and the city so the tunnels would be discovered in the first place. The tunnels are quite deep and have no vents between the 2 points. The tunnels are actually quite large and are about a quarter of a mile underground. Most death guard have rebreathers and oxygen tanks built into their suits for this kind of stuff.)

"6 hours?" He turned around and relayed what the man had said in Templarian to his marines, then turned back. "They aren't exactly happy with that, they much prefer instant shock and awe, but very well.

"We are waiting for are big chance to not only beat the Old Government at Morta but to attack and capture Gordon as well. We want to make sure that the entire death guard attack force gets to entrenched and preoccupied in Morta that are attack at both places will push them into the mountain pass where they will have to fight from two sides at once.

Our hope is that the new Old Government Capital at Josuha will have to send immediate reinforcements from forts, training facilities, and the city defenders to try and save their army.

That army will be met with an ambush by a small militia force we have procured and it will slow them down enough for are own forces to reach them by the time they beat the militia. Gordon would soon fall without reinforcements.
If that happens the Old Government will only have 4 cities which will soon turn into 3 if the vile FPAR capture Traskov. Then in will only be a short time before we take over their headquarters at Josuha and Barkanos will fall as well. Old government influence on the mainland will soon be gone and maybe then we can hold the FPAR where the old capital of ralkovia stood. There are only three paths into the south capable of holding large armies, two are where the capital once stood and the other is at the Taeon Bridge. The region where the bridge is is under are control and the region is a strong TUB supporter.

We have a few cities in the north but they will most likely fall before we can save them. We will hopefully regain our strength and by the time FPAR weakens themselves by trying to take Treknay-Rako and Cornacovia. Then while they are weak we can push into the north and take the entire country again. Then we will deal with the last Old Government city in the grand islands and the rest of the ralkovian colonies will soon fall.

That is our plan at least."

Snipped

Kane nodded sporadically throughout this before giving one final, violent nod.
"A hope is not a strong enough base to lay a battle plan on, Commander." The marines once again muttered between themselves. "It is a good plan, however. We will comply with it."

IRON ships began to fire long range rockets as they turned around heading back to the grand islands. It was impossible for them to do much more than that. Unfortunately one of those rockets had hit the ship Maria was on. It didn't do much damage but it shook the ship enough for Maria to fall off. Screaming she plunged into the water.

She was lucky enough to end up on land, unfortunately she was close by a TUB scounting force observing the fighting and was quickly captured. Dragging her back Blackwell city they had brought her before their Commander who was talking with Major Kane at the time.

"Sir we have captured Empress Maria," The scout said bringing the beautiful but wet woman before the now growing crowd of TUB soldiers.

The Commander began to laugh,"Well then we have a bargaining chip. Major Kane your our guest here, would you like the Empress for yourself?"

"Sir we have captured Empress Maria," The scout said bringing the beautiful but wet woman before the now growing crowd of TUB soldiers.

The Commander began to laugh,"Well then we have a bargaining chip. Major Kane your our guest here, would you like the Empress for yourself?"

"I would indeed, Commander. Not that I doubt your resolution for a moment, but the idea of countryship does so get in the way of information extraction. Fortunately, we have no such problem." Two marines came forward to take Maria off the scout, dragging her off to the command tent they had established. "Commander, if you have no further things to discuss, I would like to get on with the interogation."

"Go ahead, I am needed elsewhere."


Maria could only look in fear, 3 hours ago she was on a ship with her mom talking about how the family would finally be united. About a week ago she escaped from TUB forces and now she was back in there clutches.

Kane bowed to the commander then walked over to the tent. As he entered, the two marines guarding the entrance saluted and walked out. He walked over to the table and took of his helmet.
"Ah, thats better. They're so uncomfortable." He unbuttoned his hip flask, took a drink from the steaming, pale blue liquid inside and turned back to Maria, guestering to the armchair in the corner of the room. "Ma'am, you are Emperess Maria of the Ralkovian Empire, I am correct?"

"yes," she said visibly afraid. Anyone would be in her circumstances.

"yes," she said visibly afraid. Anyone would be in her circumstances.

"Then you are perfectly safe. It is not the policy of the Empire to torture royalty, and especially not mine. Makes it seem like we symphathise with the red rebels back home. While you are in this base, you are under my protection. If you have any requests, ask me and I shall try my best to get it done. However, do not forget that you are a POW. You will have an escort of at least one Marine at all times and may have no outside contact without my prior permission, and you are not permitted to carry any weapons at any time. Understood, ma'am?"

"sure, what is you name?" she said getting a little confidence out of the fact that she wasn't going to be tortured.

"sure, what is you name?" she said getting a little confidence out of the fact that she wasn't going to be tortured.

"Kane Whyt, ma'am. Marshal First Class, designation number R110941, Commander of the Ralkovian Relief Force you see before you, esquire and heir apparant to the throne of Lonun."

"You are void then?"

"You are void then?"

"Yes, ma'am. Born and blooded. Impossible to get to Marshal if your not."

She looked away, she had known Tara Whyt only through a few advisors."So your mother is Empress Tara?"

(OOC: What's a good port in Southern Ralkovia? I've been gone for a while. Can any one fill me in on what's been happening?)

Dmitri and Carl watched as two men came in to haul away the "vending machine". They had reached Southern Ralkovia. The "vending machine" was to be dropped off in a new Ascelonian military base a little north of the death guard training facilities.

Then next thing the soon-to-be bombers knew was that they were in a military truck. Dmitri and Carl both climbed out of their crates. They bore ivory knives and bows and arrows. The primitive weapons were the only type to make it past the metal detectors.

Dmitri and Carl grinned at one another as the truck bumped along the road, heading closer to the Ascelonian military base.

She looked away, she had known Tara Whyt only through a few advisors."So your mother is Empress Tara?"

"Well, although this war is putting a good deal of strain on her. We've had a spate of them recently, and the rebels are having a PR field day."

The Fort
When wandering through the fort, several guards had discovered a long, deep tunnel. Additional analysis pointed to it leading straight to Traskov, so, the end on the fort side was sealed off, save for a small vent area to put a pipe. Propane was then pumped into the tunnel. Millions of gallons of propane later, the FPAL evacuated the fort and detonated the propane.

(Its not the same fort. The tunnel leads north to Markon your not finding it)

"Well, although this war is putting a good deal of strain on her. We've had a spate of them recently, and the rebels are having a PR field day."

"Ah that is sad to here, at least she doesn't have her whole country crumbling around her," she said sort of getting angry but intermixed with some sadness.

"Ah that is sad to here, at least she doesn't have her whole country crumbling around her," she said sort of getting angry but intermixed with some sadness.

"To be quite brutally honest ma'am, at the moment it is no longer a country. It seems to be a warzone between some tinpot dictatorship, an old empire and a bunch of rowdy peasants. But we do not intend for it to stay that way much longer." He took another sip of the mixture, before asking if Maria would like a drink. "Courtesy to all but the enemy is our motto ma'am."

"No thank you," she said. It was true and he was right, the only thing the same about ralkovia was its colonies which were embedded with ralkovian culture. It was ironic that the mainland fell apart and the colonies still flew a unified ralkovian flag."Is there any place I can take a shower or bath."

"I assume you do not mean in the shared quarters. Yes, the tent my men-" He leant out of the tent's entrance flap here, "SHOULD HAVE PUT UP BY NOW-" he leant back in "for you has an en suite." There was a muffled shout in Templarian and the general nodded. "It's fully functional now. Television, catering, a computer, albeit with restricted and monitered use, a bed, everything you should need. It is the large khaki tent across from this one, and that'll be your home until the country is stablised. I must move onto other buisness now as well, so try to not let the whole prisoner thing get you down."

"A tent fit for a queen," she said slightly laughing to herself. Her face had brightened up a bit seeing that she was in no danger or risk of being killed and that in truth the templarians had her best interests at heart, well at least one did. "Thank you very much Kane." she said as she walked to her quarters.

A warm bath was what she needed, she felt as if she was scrubbing away her problems.


Elsewhere in ralkovia

The Ralkovian Death Guard laid in wait for the TUB army. They were well hidden in the Mountain Pass and wouldn't be detected by anything at all(It means no one can find them under any circumstances.)

They were ready for the attack and artillery and mortars were ready when the TUB made their way to this position.

Kane walked in pace, his men scattered throughout the TUB forces to minimilze casualities. He lowered his head and spoke into his radio. "Soldiers, keep your eyes open. Thermal scanners are active." As he spoke, a number of small UAV drones shot out from the troop carriers back at Port, and made their way to cover the advancing column, thermal scanners sweeping the area for any targets not in the allied column.

Coming out of the bath she realized she had no change of clothes or even a towel. She didn't trust any of the other men around her. Instead she called for Kane, she had put a blanket from her bed around her as she waited for him to arrive.

"Commander, the gal who thinks shes queen is calling for you. Shall I shut her up?" The message came in over his radio. He paused thinking for a moment, before shouting at the TUB commander,
"I'll be back in a while, I have to see to the bargaining chip. The men are under your command." He turned back, heading to the camp.

When he arrived, he paused at the tent flap, attempted to knock on the material, then shrugged and entered. When he did, he chuckled and nodded. "Yes, someone who fell off a boat wouldn't have a change of clothes would they?"

She laughed, the joke was at her expense but funny."Can I have some clothing though?"

She laughed, the joke was at her expense but funny."Can I have some clothing though?"

He thought for a second.
"I'm afraid that the only clothing we would have would be a marine jumpsuit. Excuse me." He left the tent for a few minutes, returning with a starched black jumpsuit, with the templarian logo on it's left shoulder. "It's the best I can do at short notice. I'll include some proper clothes in the next requisition. I assume you'll want some privacy." He stepped out of the tent for a moment while she changed.

"Thank you," she sad as she got dressed."Well despite being tight thank you." The jump suit did show off her feminine curves quite well.

"Thank you," she sad as she got dressed."Well despite being tight thank you." The jump suit did show off her feminine curves quite well.

"Well ma'am, while I am here, is there anything else you require?"
Kane smiled to himself. Sometimes, it was a shame that fraternising with the enemy was punishable by death.

Suddenly a blinding flash shot over Ralkovia...

(You can RP damage and where it blew up. Just send a TG over to me when this ends.)

"Nothing at all, thank you very much..." The sound of a whistle blew through the air followed by the sounds of banging. A Kinetic strike had been launched from space,"Get down," she said as the tungsten pole hit the ground a few miles away. The shake was equivalent to an 8 on the richter scale and the blastwave sent the entire city into a shaking ruins.

He dropped to the ground when he felt the ground shake.
"You still have these things!? I thought we disabled them after the war!"

"We never get rid of them. In fact the whole war thing only fueled the development of stealth ones," she yelled as the attack satellite began to launch 5 more kinetic strikes destroying the entire city and a portion of the army.

"We never get rid of them. In fact the whole war thing only fueled the development of stealth ones," she yelled as the attack satellite began to launch 5 more kinetic strikes destroying the entire city and a portion of the army.

The commanders radio began to buzz as sit reps came in from the squad commanders. Both ships and soldiers had the same idea here, scattering apart so as to minimize casualties.
"Enemy WMD! Requesting ASAT support!" Kain yelled this into his radio, a scattered response came in a few seconds later.
"Rodger, tracking trajectory using triangulators.."

Off the coast, onboard the VTN Defensor, a pair of large heavy metal doors slid apart slowly with a resounding growl. Smoke poured from inside, along with a klaxon and other miscialanious sound that came with a missile strike. The SM-3 missile was being fed information by a satellite, which in turn was being fed information from 4 UAV drones, stationed in a diamond around the impact areas. They were calculating the trajectory of each kinetic round, trying to get a location on the attacking satellite.

The satellite dissappeared as its cloaking went on. It used both optical, thermal, and radar cloaking. It also immediately changed trajectory with a jettison of power to get behind a Communication satellite of another country.

Maria held onto Kane as the Devastation blast(a second more powerful blast where tungsten bullets behind the kinetic strike hit the ground leveling any structure. They act like a clusterbomb of grenades. She held on tight as finally the deadly kinetic strike came to an end.

"Shit!" Kane helped Maria up, asked her if she was alright, then hurried over to the tent flap, holding her in tow, and peered out. The marines had returned to their previous routines, shifting cargo from the ships or, in a few cases, just standing around looking imposing. He pulled his head back inside the tent. "I think the best thing now would be to retailate." His eyes were burning with anger as he flicked his radio onto the emergency military use signal. "Command, we have a target for the Cannon. Yessir, command will authorise it after that recent attack. Show them we are not a force to be messed with. Yessir. UAV scouting has discovered a enemy facility, believed to be a Death Guard cloning slash training area. Taking this out will severly hurt the enemy. Co-ordinates are being transferred to station personnel, all they need is a green light." He turned to Maria. "Do you know anything about that station? Whereabouts, weaknesses, anything? And please note I'm asking."

"no, death guard facilities are usually unknown to us. Only Death Guard Grand Vizier Rewollof Natas knows about those kinds of facilities," she said still visibly shaken and scared. The death guard had almost killed the very woman they were supposed to protect.

She watched kane for a while, her back was killing her after she landed on it when she took cover. She stayed near Kane, she didn't even care if he was the enemy it was just nice to be near someone she was familiar with.

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"Right." Click, the radio flicked on again.
"Get satellite confirmation. Sweep the entire area until you detect a hint of structure, then destroy it. Am I clear?" Click. He ran all options through his head, before nodding and turning back to Maria. "Are you hurt at all?"

Meanwhile, unseen in the blackness of space save for a small red dot resembling a star, gathering in size, at the pointed tip of the orbital Ion cannon, while UAVs buzzed around back on the earth, searching for the Death Guard complex's exact location.

"My back is in pain, I think I landed on a rock or something," she said. Turning around the back of her neck was a bit red but the jump suit cut off any view of her back.


(I wait for your ion attack)

"My back is in pain, I think I landed on a rock or something," she said. Turning around the back of her neck was a bit red but the jump suit cut off any view of her back.


(I wait for your ion attack)

"Your bleeding." He stepped over, rubbing the back of his hand over the bloodstained part of her neck. "Hmm. I think under the circumstances you should see the field medic. Unfortuantely, he got made into jam by the kinetic strikes." He checked her back, especially along her spine, for debris.

Onboard the LOIC, a sensor blipped, attracting the attention of the staff.
"Sir, target sighted." A few seconds delay of frantic typing. "Locked."
"Fire."
There would have been an extremely loud whining noise as the cannon charged itself, if sound travelled through space, interrupted by the booming of the cannon firing (http://www.cnc-i.net/files/media/tiberium_wars/concept_art/ion_cannon_firing.jpg). The red dot turned into a solid blue beam, smashing down into the compund below, churning up the ground, throwing dust into the air, lit an eerie blue by the beam, before settling down after a few seconds, followed by a small gust of wind that was the shockwave. The marines cheered, then went back to their tasks.

"Help me take off the back of the jump suit," she said. Her back was still hurting and she wanted someone to make sure it wasn't serious.

The entire facility was destroyed and all death guard had died. The trajectory was of course followed and a targeting screen on a stealth attack satellite went on."FIRE tungsten bullets," said the death guard as the satellite sprayed over a hundred thousand beach ball sized tungsten rounds at the satellite that had just fired its ion cannon.

Kane nodded and helped Maria take off the back of the jump suit, then shook his head.
"You have some shrapnel in your back. Not to bad, but it needs medical treatment."

The bullets impacted off the armor of the station, denting it in a number of places and setting off warning alarms all over the station and sending the station into defense mode. A small missle was ignited while held in clamps, getting up to speed before being launched out of the airlock at the enemy satellite.

Maria groaned a bit,"Could you get the medic please, I feel like I'm going to fai-" she said falling unconscious for a little while.


The satellite launched another blast of balls destroying the missile. The satellite had about 2 more bursts of rounds left and 2 Kinetic Strikes. Taking aim at the largest void ships it fired the 2 kinetic strikes before getting into a collision course for the ion satellite.

"Damn it." He grabbed her and propped her up against him. "Thomas! Get a medic, will you? POWs got shrapnel injury." A few minutes later the medic came in with a kit.
"Sir, you know how I hate treating civvies."
"Shut up and patch her up."
"Yessir."

The kinetic strikes impacted into the sea, one smashing straight through a battleship, the resulting shockwave tearing it apart and rocking the rest of the ships violently. Two of the frigates completely rolled over from the force.
"Now!"
In front of the station, one of the square pieces of armor jettisoned off the station, heading on a collission course for the attack sattelite.

(Kinetic strikes were aimed at the ships in blackwell port)

Maria woke up half an hour later. She was laying near Kane. Turning her head to him she gave him a slight hug before falling back asleep.

Another round of tungsten fired at the plate of armor, the tungsten balls pushed the armor aside as the satellite drew closer to the ion cannon one. It had one round of tungsten balls left

"Ah, your awa- oh." He chuckled. "Of course. How lazy."

The ion cannon gave the marines in the TUB soldier's lines new zeal, and many of them charged on ahead of the rest of the army.

The crew of the ion cannon began shifting the plates of armor around, trying to block any vital systems.

The satellite began to speed up, as it hurtled itself at the enemy satellite.
---------------------------------


Maria woke up again feeling much better almost 3 hours. Turning to her side she saw Kane sleeping. She walked over and stared at him, she had never had a good view of him and he was quite handsome. He was about her age and while they were both enemies she couldn't have ill feelings about him anyway. She laid down next to him for some warmth. It was slightly chilly and a jump suit didn't offer much protection from the harsh ralkovian winter winds.

(By the way it is winter in ralkovia)

The satellite began to speed up, as it hurtled itself at the enemy satellite.

Maria woke up again feeling much better almost 3 hours. Turning to her side she saw Kane sleeping. She walked over and stared at him, she had never had a good view of him and he was quite handsome. He was about her age and while they were both enemies she couldn't have ill feelings about him anyway. She laid down next to him for some warmth. It was slightly chilly and a jump suit didn't offer much protection from the harsh ralkovian winter winds.

(By the way it is winter in ralkovia)

OOC: My guys fight better in the cold. :D
IC: The stations crew could do little more than look on and attempt to strengthen the plates as the satellite drew nearer.

Kane's eye flicked open.
"Now, if you had any sense you would have taken my bootknife and killed me. And I appreciate that you didn't." He stood and clicked his neck. "Cold?"

The satellite finally stabilized and a large necklogen spear began to raise out of the front, capable of piercing most metals the necklogen blade would easily pass through the armor of the satellite.


"I don't kill...or I try not to. And yes I'm freezing," she said.

"I don't kill...or I try not to. And yes I'm freezing," she said.

Onboard the station, the crew locked off the control room air lock, capable of resisting anything upwards of a direct strike by an ion cannon (just in case).

Kane nodded, then passed her a thick fur blanket from a large basket in the corner.
"Yes, but that defies all the logic a monarch should have. You have a chance to kill an enemy, you take it."

"And where would I go? I kill you and then I have no one else to protect me. The only reason I'm not being traded around the camp site is because you're protecting me, I'm not stupid, I try not to kill but I am willing to do so to ensure the safety of my people and me. In the short term killing you would only incite your men, get me killed or turned into a camp whore, which does not play out well for me or my country since I am the last person capable of inheriting the throne," she said. The last part was a lie, her father or her fathers clone would inherit the throne but no one knew that he had been brought back yet. "Thank you," she said taking the blanket and putting it around her.

"Ma'am, all of my men are married and well discplined. They would never do that. They'd crucify you for murder of an officer. But you make a good point." He sat down on the chair in the room, facing Maria. "Since I have some time to kill before my men reach Morta, tell me about you."

The smaller station smashed into the fire focus control of the cannon, rendering it's laser inert. However, it's life support and communications were still working, and the crew began sending out relatively calm distress calls.

"My mother is an admiral in the DaWoadian Navy and my father was the late Emperor Josh. My father died before I was born. I never got to spend much time with my mom since she was always sailing around the world so I spent most of my time with my Grand Vizier Natas, he's pretty much my father and my mom. So what about you?"

So what about you?"

"Born, sent to Detrius Academy when I was-" he looked up for a moment, thinking, "- four I think, learnt how to speak, spell and think for 2 years, learnt how to kill for the rest. Graduated at 16, joined the marines, went through the ranks, here I am. Really not much to tell."

"How old are you?"

"How old are you?"

"18. Quick promotion eh?"

She laughed,"So have you spent a lot of time with your parents?"

She laughed,"So have you spent a lot of time with your parents?"

"Nope. Father just sorta disappeared, and Mother is usually busy. Has been since I can remeber. On Service pretty much year round, with certain special events I have to attend off. I'd say on average I'd see them Mother twice a year. The Feast of Saint Alean and Remeberance of the Fallen day are my two proper days off."

"Your father was ernesto cheark right?"

"Your father was ernesto cheark right?"

"Yup. Soviet Elect, Soviet States."

"my mother told me how the both of them were great friend," she said. Getting up and sitting next to Kane. Turning towards him she rested her head on his shoulder and gazed at him.

"my mother told me how the both of them were great friend," she said. Getting up and sitting next to Kane. Turning towards him she rested her head on his shoulder and gazed at him.

"In what conversation I've had with Mother, she said the same." He suddenly noticed the weight on his shoulderpad and looked at Maria. He kept the gaze for a moment, then looked towards the tent flaps and when satisfied that no one was outside quickly kissed her.

She kissed him back as she smiled. After a few minutes she kissed him again and laid next to him.

She kissed him back as she smiled. After a few minutes she kissed him again and laid next to him.

"Consorting with a prisioner - thats a fairly dangerous thing to do." He laughed. "Now, ma'am, if you will excuse me I have to attend to a battle."

She sighed and fell asleep.

She sighed and fell asleep.

Kane stepped out of the gear and pressed a button on his wrist panel. His helmet slid up from his neck armor, locking together in front of his face, the eyes blazing to life into their typical red. As he approached the APC he had called to bring him to the fight, a quadruplet of marines, helmets down but face's virtually identical, all with shaven heads and tattos of a roaring lion underneath their right eyes and the same prototype Power Armor (http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z107/Kain1235/NewPrototypeMarineArmor-AlphaSwuad.jpg) as Kane, stopped him.
"Sir. Command dictates that the Force Commander does not go into battle without the OZZ escorting him."
"Ah. And I suppose you would like that honor, Lyons?" He adressed the most battle-scarred of the four.
"Yessir. You know that the Pride is the best unit in the divison. Most kills, most distinctions. Hell, Gallows surpasses you in kills." The man standing at the back of the squad, inexplicably muttering to himself and attempting to smoke through his balaclava, nodded to Kane. "So?"
He though for a moment, then nodded. "Very well. Lyon's Pride, you are the Oltyk Zhypeod Zyljepy for this Operation." The marines cheered, then followed Kane into the APC, which roared off towards the army.

Meanwhile, the Marines who had ran ahead now acted as recon, reporting back to the main army, especially about the city of Morta, now in their sights.

The Death Guard continued to wait hidden from all sensors they would have the advantage. A small patrol of death guard(not from the same region) had come across the marines, they began to fire incidiary mortar rounds.

Maria continued to sleep despite the noise.

Maria continued to sleep despite the noise.

The squad took over, three of the men being roasted by the mortars, and returned fire. One of them radioed the rest of the division, warning them of ambushes. A sortie of ground support planes were being readied on the carrier, but for now it was soldier verus soldier. Verus tank.

Harpoon missiles would attach to any tank and use them like a flail killing any enemy as the tank was smashed around. More incidiary rounds were fired and infantry mines turned men into screaming chunks.

A ralkovian ComProp(Communication/Propaganda Satellite) attached itself to a Void communication satellite(particularly one of the weaker more peaceful part of your country) It began to pump the video feed of the men turning into meaty bits on every television it could.

Death guard began to fire mini-harpoons as well.(Harpoons but miniature ones) and used them to flail men around. Finally the death guard began to retreat hoping to pull as many Void troops in as they could.

The soldiers focused their fire on the troops with the harpoon guns, and a new wave of fire rang out as the Ghoul snipers (http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z107/Kain1235/GhoulRailgunner.jpg) arrived in firing range. Firing .50 caliber bullets, each shot tore off limbs and quite often heads as they travelled through their targets.

All around the empire, the scenes were willingly broadcast, only now with patriotic messages and mostly from live feeds from soldier's helmets. The Heartlands went into uproar, while the more remote edges of the Empire saw it as a chance. Fights with peacekeeper police and the military garrisons broke out almost immediately, as the rebels, given new zeal by the images, finally had the heart to attempt an uprising, resulting in a swathe of televised 're-education'.

As the Death Guard retreated, the Ghouls kept firing rounds into their backs. Kane's APC pulled up at the frontlines and he jumped out with the other OZZ.
"Commander, their retreating. Orders?"
"Send the UAV's after them. If it's safe, have the flyboys do some strafes. We'll move up after we've confirmed their destination. Scatter out, gas masks on and keep up a constant shelling behind the enemy."
"Sir." The marine sprinted away, relaying instructions back to the base. A few moments later, a great booming could be heard as the Howitzers opened fire at the fleeing Guard and a whirring as the UAV drones whisked overhead.

A very clear sentence could be heard from a death guard commander,"Release the beast." Death guard immediately began to take cover as the ground began to raise itself up. It was a Josh tech, A Tremosaur. (http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/arrondock/Ralkovian%20Pictures/?action=view&current=chaoswormweb.jpg) A genetically mutated beetle/Earth worm, it began to pull void men underground before it targeted the APC which immediately dropped under ground leaving a huge hole in the ground as the beast had its fill, the valley the Void were in had kept the beast inside.

"Hmm. Thats ominous." Kane stood and looked around as his soldiers were dragged underground. "I'd suggest a tactical retreat." The Ghouls had swapped to biological rounds, each shot carrying enough neurotoxin to paralyse, if not kill, a Kytaf warlord. There was mixed reactions to the worm, as the show was now being treated like a reality TV show. There was a roar overheard as a pair of AC-130U Spooky gunships that had been requsitioned to provide fire support against the Death Guard now fired at the giant worm.

The creature launched 4 large hooks at the spookies before pulling down the howitzers. The Death Guard had retreated and had left through a tunnel system. The death guard patrol of 30 men had only lost two men and had probably killed 100 void and millions of dollars of damage.

The soldiers kept up their fire, the tanks firing shells as rapidly as possible. One of the hooks pierced a Spooky, sending it spinning down smashing into the ground. Long range artillery began to rain down on the creature.

Back at the base camp, the soldiers that remained to watch over the base had gathered around a small TV set watching the chaos. They growled between themselves.
There would be punishment for this. And there was a useful one standing right in their camp.

A few dozen soldiers stepped into the VIPOW tent, weapons out. One of the men, a lieutenant, kicked the side of the small bed, knocking it on it's side.
"You. On your feet."

Maria woke up and got up,"What do you need?"

Maria woke up and got up,"What do you need?"

"Your head on a silver fucking plate. Outside. Move." He nudged her in the back with the butt of his rifle. "Don't try to run."

She walked outside,"Who in the hell is authorizing you to do this?"

She walked outside,"Who in the hell is authorizing you to do this?"

"My dead Brothers." He tossed his rifle to a guard and unhostlered his pistol, a snub nosed .45 revolver and held it to Maria's temple. The marine holding his gun nodded to show that they were broadcasting. The lieutenant smiled. "Hello there, corpse humpers. Who I am is not important, what I am holding to your future Emperess head is, however. The Blood Price must be payed. Your little worm has killed a few of my battle brothers. And unless you can offer me a suitable alternative to this payment, I'll pay it for you." From where Maria was stood, she could see an ensignia on the man's left arm, marking him as a Re-Educational Officer, better known as a JJE Man (Judge Jury Executioner). He must have been good at his job, as the barrel of his gun was stained an unwashable crimson.

The screen immediately switched to a death guard, his skin peeled back off his face, the muscle twitched as he spoke,"Hoolotep Evans Degef Rafazul Def Defa Dema." A screen switched onto a large spacestation probably near Mars. On it was an Obliterator Class Satan Gun.
"WELLA WELLA BORD IZ WURD"

"Your talking gibberish. You know what he's saying?"

"They said if you shoot me they can do what ever they want to this campsite that they have been refraining from. If you killed me not only will you fry in hell, but every living thing in your country. The thing above is a Satan cannon capable of shooting projectiles that burn at temperatures hotter than the sun for years."

"Relay that message to command. Might be enough to warrant a Burning Crusade." he laughed. "The blood price has been paid in your civillians. Hold yourself accountable." The feed cut off and the lieutenant turned back to Maria. "You can go back to your rest now." The lieutenant walked away, pulling a random protesting civillian to him, roaring at him, then pushing him away and walking away contented.

Maria walked back to her tent and cried, meanwhile Death Guard Ops waited, not only was the obliterator cannon, but all Stealth Attack Satellites were activated, not to mention the all powerful B'jor Cannon and perhaps the deadly Last Resort.

Maria could only cry as death guard councils planned there next attack. Josh had also been raised from the dead and had been working on some new war machines.

"Soldiers! Fall back!" As the marines fell back out of the valley, there was a whine as four Vulcan bombers, each one laden with a full payload of carpet bombing munitions, shot overheard, dropping their payload behind the soldiers and on top of the worm before retreating.

The worm had burrowed to safety for the time. The death guard ha d escaped and now Void soldiers laid dead on the ground. The battle was over.

The army arrived back at the camp, and immediately sealed off the area. Any civillian who refused to leave were asked again and told they were trespassing, if they refused again they were shot. Kane walked along the lines of soldiers and talked to his generals.
"I want heavy artillery, juggurnaught tanks, that damm Ion Cannon repaired, battle mechs, everything! Requisition command now damnit!" The generals nodded and hurried to order the heavy reinforcements from command in preparation for their next attack.

Maria waited in her tent crying, she knew that sticking near Kane was her best bet to stay alive.


A screen flipped on in the Void palace tara was at. A masked man began to talk,"Lady Tara, it is such a pleasure to see you again. To bad the circumstances behind it are not of joy. You are supporting an enemy force of my country, you either stand down or I will crush you, kill Ernesto and your son, and I will make sure your country is turned into nothing but a ralkovian colony." The masked man said.

Tara didn't even look up from her paperwork.
"Hello to you as well. Yes, we are. We would be supporting the monarchy but they did a bang up job of it didn't they? You can try to crush me but it'll end very painfully for you, how'd you like to be a Eunch? Ernesto disappeared years ago, my son will most likely die soon anyway and good luck with conquering us worm. Perhaps you don't know what we did to the Boratnians when they tried that. Goodbye." She pressed the power button on her TV remote.

The TV wouldn't turn off,"Its funny how certain things stay the same even after a person dies isn't it? Technology is a bitch but a lovely one."


(technology is a bitch but a lovely one is joshs catch phrase)

(technology is a bitch but a lovely one is joshs catch phrase)

"It's sort of a shame you never died properly I must say, but a refreshing one. Hello Josh. How's life after death treating you?"

"Supposedly good, I was interupted by someone who wanted to build a clone around my brain. Then I was cloned, after that I woke up with a searing headache. Oh by the way Ernestos in my lab....poor russian fool fell into a cryo vat," he said laughing.

(A way to keep Soviet alive if he ever gets on)

"How wonderful for him, and how terrible for you. Countries really gone to pot recently, I must say. Did you know that your Maria is currently in my Marine's camp in Ralkovia? And that your generals are threatening to hit that particular base with some sort of long range orbital laser which you no doubt designed, and that the worm thing you made really annoyed me."

"Oh Tara Tara Tara, those stupid fools didn't even uncover 5% of my weapons while I was gone for 20 years. I could care less about my daughter, in fact her death would be a welcome part since I cannot inherit the throne if she dies of normal causes. Would you be so kind to kill her? The worms I can send to your country if you want, they are rather useful in mischief and demolition"

"Please, their ants compared to the Shrykull Worms we have here. As for Maria, she is a POW of the Marines. She probably will end up dead anyway."

"Haha.....you and you're crazy culture, to bad thats going to end. Would you rather all be killed by
A) Giant Anteater creatures that can spew flames
B) Nuclear Annihilation, cliche
C) Necklogen Bombs
D) Death Guard eating each one of you slowly
E) Some crazy robot type thing
F) or Your own rebels killing you?

Personally I would choose A) it makes me do some hard work."

(Just so you know, Josh is now super evil)

Tara laughed. "Ah. It is such a shame I shall have your heart mounted over the fireplace. This conversation is over unless you have something interesting to say."

"Oh trust me, now that I am back I will make sure I finished what my stupid living version never completed. You might have been beautiful back then, enough to seduce me, take my work, and try to kill me, you remember that don't you. So did you ever build my ion cannon?"

"Oh trust me, now that I am back I will make sure I finished what my stupid living version never completed. You might have been beautiful back then, enough to seduce me, take my work, and try to kill me, you remember that don't you. So did you ever build my ion cannon?"

"Built it and improved it, Josh. The focus pane was in the wrong position in your plans, would have resulted in a fairly spectacular blue explosion." He chuckled. "And of course I remebered it. The single most horrific thing I've ever had to do."

" Well I never finished it, someone interupted as I was working on that part. Oh you enjoyed it, I just can't believe you missed my juggular. Such a sad thing that if you had killed me then, your husband wouldn't be frozen and I wouldn't have been able to have been cloned."

"Carpe Jugular, eh? Still, I'm sure I can rectify the mistake of cloning you. Very easily."

"We will see, we will see," he said smiling. "For now I must be going, your troops are annoying my death guard." Josh's desk was filled with paperwork,"I got some work to catch up on, 20 years of being dead and the paper just waits for me. Oh well call me back when you get reports of your troops being crushed by monsterous things."

"We will see, we will see," he said smiling. "For now I must be going, your troops are annoying my death guard." Josh's desk was filled with paperwork,"I got some work to catch up on, 20 years of being dead and the paper just waits for me. Oh well call me back when you get reports of your troops being crushed by monsterous things."

"Don't get to stuck into it. It'll be lining your coffin soon." Without taking her eyes off her writing she casually picked up the remote and lobbed it into the TV screen.

"good bye whore," he said laughing. Josh had been inventing some pretty new weapons.



Maria waited for Kane to return, she had still been crying. She wished he would come back, even though he was the enemy, he had been kind.

Night had fallen a few hours ago, and Kane's temper had cooled.
"The orders have been placed?"
"Yessir. Should arrive here by noon tomorrow."
"Excellent. I shall retire then. Ave gentlemen."
"Ave Commander." Kane stood up from the stool he was seated on, yawned then headed back to his tent, stopping in on the way to make sure that Maria hadn't escaped. Upon entering the tent, he sighed.
"Whats wrong with you?"

"Your men tried to kill me, after some big worm attacked them," she said buried in a pillow crying. It was sort of the cute thing that made a father want to tickle their daughter until she felt better.

He sighed and sat on the end of the bed.
"Any particular names? I'll make sure they're punished."

"I don't know," she said. She laid next to him her head on his shoulders, she had at least stopped crying. Spying a look around and making sure it was empty she kissed him on the lips.




Josh was finishing a design. His Workshop had remained hidden in the small mountains close by the Taeon River. (http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/arrondock/Ralkovian%20Pictures/?action=view&current=newwestcleft.jpg)

Kane returned the kiss.
"Is there anything I can do then?"

Small teams of UAV drones and occasionally F-16s flew over Ralkovia, mapping the current political state and also searching for any Cards in the most wanted Deck.

"A back massage, maybe?," she said kissing him before he had a chance to answer.


Josh could only smile, ralkovia would soon be his again. Even if he had to break every tradition, though no longer would the death guard trust him or have his back. He would need something better and stronger. More powerful than nuclear bombs, capable of withstanding heavy bullets, infinitely stronger than any special order in ralkovia."The Necklogen Guard"

"If that'll help." He laughed.

"So, you understand your task?" The room was darkened, none of the four men in there could see each others faces. The War Council had been assembled, and the Lord Admiral, Legion Commandant, Cheif Air Marshal and Agent 001 of the National Intelligence Service all sat staring at a large television monitor, on which a pale, scrawny man in a torn and bloodstained suit nodded.
"I contact the Imperials and-" He coughed a hacking cough before continuing. "-and then I inform them of the information. Once my task is fufilled, I wire the money to you and go to God. I understand perfectly."
"Keep in mind, Agent 843, that your monitoring chip is active. Any attempts to reveal your real occupation to the enemy would result in pre-emptive activation of the Serum. Am I clear?"
"Perfectly sir." The man gulped audibly. "If I may t-take your leave?"
"Yes."
Silence for a moment. "Very well, thank you Commander."

Later, a message was received by the Imperial Military Command, informing them that a Rebel refugee, who was wanted for being a Mole in the Templarian Shadow Command/Intelligence Service, wished to seek refuge in their nation in return for his knowledge.

She felt his hands on her back and closed her eyes, it felt so good. After 10 minutes she kissed him and held him.




A message was sent back that a transport sub would be arriving near an island and he should make his way to the island so the sub could pick him up.
