The Return, Propoganda, Lies, and a so called "War"

[The ZAFT]

The soldiers of Troop 23 were on the move. Their grenades were being hurled through the air, the enmy had no clue what was happening. They would turn their backs on the astrays and some even moved the cannon turret around to fire upon them, allowing easy shots for the Astray teams on the other side. A tank got in a shot on an Astrays Leg causing it to fall into a nearby Building, the pilot escaped fine, but any damaged Astrays must be destroyed so that Tiberian Moon technology doesn't get in the hands of the enemy. Another Astray shot it 3 times untill it and the surrounding building went up in an explosion. The escaped pilot joined the soldiers of Troop 23 and pulled out a hand gun for support fire. "Thank you for our help we were sitting ducks against those tanks." The pilot said exausted. "No Problem we need help reaching the base on the other side of the city could you help us?" the highest ranking soldier of Troop 23 had taken command after their origianl Commander was killed. "I'm sorry but there's nothing left behind those buildings, the base was one of the first thigns hit before they started targeting civilians. We just came from there that's why we're basically a combination of soldiers here. There are 5 more Astray teams around the area. Members of each one were destroyed we're trying to form together but theres no way of communication we're talking through signal flares." The pilot was now walking towards the Astrays with Troop 23. "Salvage those tanks. They are obsolete but we need everything i can find, if one still works commondere it we could use the firepower, it may also act as a surprise attack they wont know we are inside of it it will allow us to flank them." Pilots from downed Astrays scrambled to the tanks putting together pieces of each to make 3 of them start working again. "we have room for 2 of your soldiers Troop 23 preferably some good shots to stick in those gun holes on the sides. "Alright take these 2 they have a sniper pack on each of them. We have an RPG Trooper aswell the 5 of us will follow these tanks and give some more ground support. Thankfully our uniforms are so muddy and ripped the enemy wont be able to tell what side we're on untill the tank starts fireing." The field promoted Comander was showing his ability to take charge. "Alright I'll hopefully see you after this next encounter. The next group fo Astrays is holding their own a couple yards from here. but in between us and them are a whole bunch of civilians with no where to run. Our team will go through their direction we can't have them seeing your tanks and thinking its people trying to kill them. Wile we go on that route go around the other end from the right. If you come in contact with enemy soldiers you must try and avoid a stuggle, if they wish for you to join up with them either refuse and say you must continue do to orders. If that does not work you need to take them out quietly, we want to have you guys undercover for as long as we can." The pilot had stepped onto one of the Astrays hands as it stood from a kneeling position with him on its outstretched arm to talk with the civilians when they met. The two teams continued on their ways to reach the stranded group of Astrays.

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

"Alright sir we've made it to Free Cordova safe and sound." They made it unharmed, now all Dharius had to do was make it to the meeting. Everyone could sleep easily tonight.

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

Blitzkreig had become a protestors paradise where everyhting had some type of protest going on, whether it was anticoordinator, procoordinater, or antiwar, or even antiZeidnir. It was happening. The government had to do something, the citizens were running around looking as if they were crazed. "Alfred we can't allow this to happen, the anticooridanter protesters are retreating, all that is left are those seeking to harm or remove me. Take care of them..." With Zeidnir's words the top window opened and a dark figure jumped out spreading out wings sending the shadow of the devil across the ground, Alfred Ridley descended onto the mass of people with his fangs wide and ready for a feast. The government had closed the streets, within an hour the streets were covered with corpses and blood was everywhere. "Dammit Ridley i hoped you would at least try not to be messy!!" Zeidnir now had to pay the worst price... a cleanup crew...

[Free Cordova]

[ooc]I'll assume the conversation in the base ended, since Hawk is going to Free Cordova anyway.[/ooc]

Funky and Kensington emerged from the massive crater in the ground, nearly invisble against the black sky and charred earth. "Damnit." Said Funky, "we where so close." He checked his watch, a digital that glowed in the dark, 1:30 am, it read. "****...I gotta get some zees man." He said.

"Hmmm..." Said Kesingington wondering briefly about Funky's phone, which had gotten reception in the cave while his didn't. "Feel okay to drive?" Asked Kensington, musing at the mundanity of the question during such extroaordinary circumstances. "Neither of us have had much sleep lately."

Funky was about to respond when a loud beep came from Kensington's belt. Kensington snapped up the phone and opened it up. It was a message from Attenburough, hastily sent by the look. It read:

WAR ON BJERJ'S ISLAND. CONFLICTING FORCES HAVE AGREED TO PEACE SUMMIT. DHARIUS HAWK INBOUND. SECURITY THREATS SUSPECTED, AND OPPORTUNITY TO DRILL HAWK.

AIRLIFT EN ROUTE, REACH POINT 332.112.443

Kensington read the message aloud to Funky. A breif look at Funky's GPS (in his phone, naturally) indicated their LZ was several kilometers south, in some abandoned looking farmland. The car seeming useless off-road, they headed on foot South from the crater. As they began to walk, Kensington wondered 'where are the Undeadians?'. Seconds later Funky vocalized the thought. "You know whats creepin' me out about dis?" Said Funky, "I'm sure you noticed it too, nobodies showed up, not for a couple of hours. So unless the dead sleep like so, what the hell is goin' on? Wheren't the Undeadians getting a peice of the action?"

[ooc]Bjerj/Undeadia, could you take it from there?[/ooc]
________________________________________________________________________________

Later that day, Thom Attenburough found himself driving almost recklessly down the hill from Tripwire Castle to the capital city of Luetica. Although in no great hurry, Attenburough was stressed about the situation. The Queen, already waiting at the large gothic council chamber that stood in the middle of Luetica's central park, was immature and naive at best. He feared she would make a fool of herself. He could almost visualize her stepping into the council chamber with a party hat and some wine.

Forutnatley though, although angry at being over-ridden, the Queen had agreed to arrive. Attenburough doubted the affectiveness of hosting the summit without the leader of his nation present...whatever a dolt she may be. He just hoped Kensington and Funky showed.

Squinting into the sun as he drove Northwest, and swearing at incompotent drivers on the cracked and potholed cement road, he was totally caught off guard by the ringing of his cellphone.

Clicking the 'accept transmission' button on the hands-free device, and said immediatley "It better be good news."

"Dharius Hawk, of Tiberian Moon, has just landed in the airport sir." Said the messenger's young voice. "Lord Murray is there to greet him and welcome him to Free Cordova."

"Murray!?" Asked Attenburough.

"Well." Said the voice, "I do beleive Luetica, especially the airport area, makrs the boundry between House Murray and House Tripwire land, and the Queen is--"

"Spare me." Said Attenburough. "Listen, whoever you are, get in contact with Fergison, the Head of House, and get TRIPWIRE representatives for every other leader."

Before the voice could register his understanding Attenburough ended the call annoydely.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Flanked by ten House Murray royal guard, in full battledress (fancy gilted uniforms, semi-knightly helmets, House Murray crests), Lord Murray watched as the door to Dharius Hawk's plane swung open.

As the man exited the plane, Murray, striding assurdely for his old age, stepped forward and extended a formal handshake. "Greetings, Mr. Hawk, I am Lord Gerard of House Murray, welcome to Free Cordova." He said genteely.

[Deadly Vapors]

A Damaged Thunderhawk Transport touched down in Free Cordava, the back hatch falling off and hitting the ground with an extremly loud clang. the Emporer jumped out of the rear, and turning toward to group of House Murray Royal Guard, Lord Murray, and Darius Hawk. the Emporer was still in full battle gear, a large scorch mark across his chest, one shoulder plate cracked, one leg plate missing completely, his helmet off, his hair all messy, and covered in mud, blood, and what apeared to be sharp chunks of Glycasyn that was stabbed into the first shell of his armor. Eight body guards got out behind him, their armor in a similar condition. They had barely Escaped the ambush on the Island, and the Emporer had only left after commander Duke had explained to him for the 12th time during the battle why he could not afford to die. the emporer spit some blood out onto the tarmac and calle dout "HEY! when does this *cough* Peace meeting start?"


Comander duke swung his power axe at the neerest knight, the energy splitting into the Dulangi man's stomach, right through his shell of glycasyn. Duke attempted to rench the weapon from the man's bowles, but the only result was a screem from the knight and a harsh grinding sound as the energised ace ground against the glycasyn. the knight looked up and punched duke in the face, the spikes on his gauntlets carving into dukes cheekbone. with a yell duke pushe the man off his axe and kicked him down the hill. he swung around but was caught off ballence in the whirling melee that surrounded him and was pushed under the surface of the marsh when a weaponlss knight takled him, proceding to beet him in the face with his glycasyn gauntlets untill he was hefted off duke's chest by an ork. Duke breeched the surface to see the ork, was the mega armored hide of warboss Gregza un Bonzif, who with a yell crushed the man in his power klaws and used the man's leg to stab another knight. the warboss then fired the twin burnas attached to the sides of his klaws, a swath of fire bring down at least 10 warriors of dulang. Duke sputtered and looked about, half of his men where dead, one thunderhawk down, two of the ten tanks they had with them where destroyed and one imobalized. Dulang had forfeited it's part of the ceace fire just after their knights had managed to surround them in the undergrowth and open fire. the proceding battle had held the deadly vaporean forces down long enough for the hords of poorly armed dulang conscript warriors to arive. now dulang forces pured down from all sides, dulangi artillery firing into the marsh without any apparent care whether the blasts took out their own men or deadly vaporean ones. Duke whiped blood from his face and charged a knight, the knight's beam weapon searing into his armor and cutting into this chest before Duke slammed into the knight, knocking him off ballance long enough for duke to grab the man's wrists and jumd onto the man's collor bones. the axillary fiber muscles in his armor straining he heard the sikening crack of Glycasyn as it shattered around the nameless knight's shoulders, the shards stabing into the knight's chest and back. duke turned to see another knight level his beam rifle at him and pull the trigger, the searing beam of energy cutting into his armor and through his stomach. the beam when strait through his body into his powerpack and caused it to explode, sending duke lurching forward.the knight was takled by three large ork boys who quicky dismemdered him. as the edges of duke's vision faded into blackness his whispered in prayer; "Emporer Guide my soul," and fell into the murky water.

After hours of fighting, Warboss Gregza Un Bonzif managed to break through the Dulangi lines, him and a handful of orks and Deadly Vaporean warriors escaping into the mountains.

[The ZAFT]

"I apreciate the welcomeing commitee but i am as eager as the Emperor of Deadly Vapors to get on with this peace discussion." Dharius said to the members of Free Cordova. "How Long will we have to wait for the others to arrive?"

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

The Tank Squadron was moveing along the streets. Buildings were smoking as some of the fires were going out now that it was mid morning the next day. The sound of cannon fire was echoeing showing battles taking place on the other side of the city. On one of the street corners was a stinger site. About 3 blocks away from the Tank Battalion and 5 away from the group of Astrays. "Keep radioing for help man... hopefully some other survivers are holdin' up and we aren't the only 2 left over here..." One of the soldiers said as he stared down the scope of his M-60 Machine gun, although a very old weapon that he had salvaged from a damaged ZAFT Tank it still served for his purpose seeing as his Tiberian Moon Burst rifle was out of ammo. The other soldier was working with a radio hooked up to a digital feed through the power cables that were downed. Hopefully he would reach some other Tiberian Moon soldiers before another ZAFT batalion moved in. "GET DOWN!!" a voice from the other street corner yelled across the 4 way intersection. An explosion rang out across 2 streets over. "God damn ZAFT carpet bombers. Can't they just move in with soldiers?" one of the soldiers across the way shouted. Both Stinger sites were holding down the center of the city, one of the only 4 way intersection, they thought that if they could keep the main parts of the roads Tiberian Moon resisitance still stood a chance. "Well i think they know we're trying to defend the roads so they don't want to send anyone down the streets until they think we're dead." "oh damn guys theres some tanks..." the soldiers readied their rifles at the tanks not knowing they weren't enemys. Before the shots were fired they noticed the soldiers tagging along. ZAFT never had soldiers follow tanks they either sent in a tank batalion and had a soldier ambush, but never both at once. "Hold Fire they're some of ours." The tank battalion say the soldiers inside the stinger sites. With the tanks reaching the cross section they stood a beter chance of reclaiming the city. "Whats the point of holding up in a stinger site guys join up with us we are helping a group of Astrays." "Actually another group already came through they told us to hold down these streets, we suggest you contact your group and let them in on this but these roads are the only way to get from the Military Base to the other side of the city." "The base is already gone though you shouldn't try defending it." "We aren't defending the base, we know its gone, our mission is to allow time for all the Astrays to gather on the other side. Our only objective right now is to protect the Mass Driver untill reinforcements from Kyonotashi arrive in another day." "I completly forgot about the Mass Driver, i'm sure the Astrays already had that mind, considering they all have banded together now after liberating some more civilians." the tanks were positioned along the streets and on each corner and intersection, the footsoldiers set up some more Stinger sites around cross sections because tanks would be sitting ducks in a wide open area. The Astray teams were all reassembled at the Mass Driver moveing along the city outskirts to set up a ring of defence, some went in to help the defence of the streets. "Alright soldiers we have about 5 hours untill ZAFT realizes we have reinforcements comeing, they're going to give us everything they've got. They won't allow us to have this Mass Driver any longer, which exactly why it is imperative for us to hold our ground, use anything you can find. Defend Gibraltar!!"

[Deadly Vapors]

OOC, wait... ZAFT, what thje hell is going on?

[Free Cordova]

Murray stared, stunned but not visibly so. Regaining his composure quickley he turned to face the brutalized Emporer of Deadly Vapors, whom he recognized from breifing pictures. "Welcome to Free Cordova." He said, before turning to Hawk to answer his question. "Mr. Hawk." He said "I am not how long each leader will take, that is their perogative. This land falls within the territory of House Murray, and I felt it my duty to welcome you when others fail."

"Fail!?" Cried Thom Attenburough, striding up the tarmac flanked by 8 Tripwire Guardsmen. "Lord Murray you overstep your authority. This gathering is for national leaders only, and I represent Queen Roxette." As he finished he reached the landing area.

Speaking to the leaders of Tiberian Moon and Deadly Vapors he said. "My apologies, good sirs, Lord Murray seeks social establishment beyond his means, ignore his words, he is bitter over his grandson failing the tests of the throne."

Then directly to Murray he whispered, angrily. "Now, Lord Murray, please remove yourself. Luetica is Tripwire land by right, since they hold Queenship. These guards, unlike yours, are not merely for show, and I would loathe for you to be made a fool in front of such company."

The Royal Guards of both houses tensed, fingering their 9mm sidearms.

Attenburough hoped the vacant headed monarch was worth all the trouble.

[Deadly Vapors]

The Emporer bowed his head to Thom, a large peice of hardened ceramite falling from his abdomen to the ground. "I am very sorry for my erm... apearance, but my retinue was ambushed by a detachment of forces from the Colonial 'Empire' of Dulang, and I am not sure how they fair currently. Also, I would like to appologise in advance for any further... violence toward any delegation from Dulang that may arrive because frankly, I am appauled by their cowardly tatics and use of a ceasefire." just then, a small jet landed on the tarmac, clad in the Red and Black colors of DUlang. the EMporer glared toward it and drew his power sword, but then visably leasened when the female knight, Suki, stepped from the door, acompanied by another knight, who acording to the band of honor on his right forearm, his name was Sir Victor. the Emporer and Suki had met at the Regional New Year's Celebration, and she was one of the few aristocrats who gave half a cats turd about the poor people in her nation. He stepped toward her, bowed his head and said "Hello Suki, I trust you are well"
Suki respoded warmly "yes, why I am Lothar, how are you?"
The Emporer eyed sir Victor, who was circling around hir left, eyeing him. "Erm... Battered, but if you do not mind me asking, is sir Victor here with you?"
"no, why do you ask?"
"Just wondering, the Emporer said,and in a flash of light and a spray of blood he beheaded the unprepareed vistor. shouting "THATS FOR AMBUSING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A CEASEFIRE YOU LEACHEROUS, DISHONORABLE, UGLY, DISCUSTING TWIT!"

They all stared at the body as it slumped to the ground, spasming slightly.
"oh... I'm sorry." the Emporer mumbled.
"It's Ok,we didn't... expect this to be entirely safe... which is why Sir Victor and I were sent, he isn't valued much by the council of Elders, and they continue to want to put be in harm's way because the council disaproves of my positions on many issues and I am the heir to the 4th seat in the council." suki answered, scratching her arm. At the snap of her fingers two men in brown ragged clothing and large lumps of glycasyn growing on random parts of their body got out and carried the peices of sir Victor back to the jet, and began to wash the blood off the tarmac.

[The ZAFT]

OOC- DV, the sub posts i have been posting are about the attack on Gibraltar, i RPed an armada leaving Carpentaria wile ago saying i would work on it later on... now im working on it, this attack started The day after the ceasefire but since the military base was destroyed and digital feed was cut no one knew of it but Zeidnir who had ordered the attack. Zeidnir was trying to Kill Dharius Hawk who was inbound for Gibraltar untill he changed coarse for Free Cordova. Also He wants the Mass Driver to stop Tiberian Moon construction in space. Feel Free to send any help if you want, or to include it in your RP just remember noone knows its happening, but im sure a nation as close as yours can see smoke on the horizon.

[Mysts]

Mysts fleets were moveing north, with the declaration of war against ZAFT Mysts has been looking for any nations willing to join them in there mission to remove Zeidnir from power. Although Mysts also has some problems with Dharius Hawk, its beter to remove a radical and put someone wanting peace into power than to leave a radical alone.

"Alright sir we have almost reached the West Port. Our ships could easily turn it into a major military and naval base, if we work hard enough the Western island of ZAFT will be under our control within no time." The general of the fleets was talking via radio to the Chairman of Mysts.

"Alright, the N-Jammer will soon cut us off so i'll say everything quick. Make sure the West island is safe from Zeidnir's rule. After that our forces will push into the center island, there are many villages that aren't on the map in the Western region of the Center Island, many have them have been oppressed under Zeidnir's rule after the first Great War. Zeidnir is tightening his grip on the Forign Affairs location, he won't allow any Forign Embassys to get hit, he wants this war to be local only. Hopefully If i can make it to Free Cordova, although i was not invited to the conference. We may be able to get other nations to join our cause." The signal was lost, the ships had entered ZAFT waters and the N- Jammers effect had begun. The general picked up the intercom to use the loudspeaker.

"All ships stay close to the ship next to you, we will have helicopters flying above to help us scout. Set up the digital wires from each ship to ship so communications wont be broken between us. Remember Carpentaria is not far off, we may be attacked at any time. Be on Gaurd, don't let anyone out of sight." The general finished as a young cadet made it to the bridge.

"General Poseidon sir. The Windums are fully operational and ready for deployment incase enemies arrive."

"Good work cadet, help prepare the digital wires. we need them ASAP."

[bjerhjinanikle]

Kevin Sat in his office as a newsfeed hit his screen

"Conflict in Mysts has caused for complete strategy change: Bjer no longer target"

"Perfect" he said, "The timeing was just right, ZAFT has began a civil war."

He sat back at his desk and pulled out a file labeled "TM.03"

"Now we wait once again..."

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

2-16 huddled through the forrest, awaiting a new enemy to pop up for the kill, he continued to huddle until he reached a small lake, where he simply grabed a quick drink.

Food was the only thing on his mind, as his last meal was 12 hours ago. he sat down as a small rodent scurried past him. "ill sleep for this night" he though, unaware of his chalange he wil face tommarow

[Deadly Vapors]

Sitting down in a chair the Emporer flipped through satalite pictures reports, feedback from commanders, and reports of multiple trading vessels that had been destroyed without warning off the coasts of ZAFT. realizing that the war was seemingly pointless, and that asside from him and Dulang, there seemed to be no other large military forces on the island. unfortuanetly, he still had his orks and his men missing in action in the hills. also unfortuianetly, they could not go home when they were found, as massive war was brewing in ZAFT, although ZAFtT was doing a good job keeping anything specific at all under wraps, the sounds of battle could be heard in Northwatch. he sighed, and decided to send 2 whole Chapters of Soldiers to Defend Tiberioan moon from Zeidner.
