Rise of the Allies

2006-09-03T23:52:00.000-07:00

The very next day, Icifica ambassadors came to the main capital city of Egartha and Jolantis. The opposition force wanted to merge armies to form one major Morgana Prime opposition. The plan was approved, and the armies merged, forming as one group of men under one banner.

Soon after they led 200 soldiers via the Condor dropships to the pit. The soldiers went down to the eerie underground caverns. The soldiers jumped in fright at every drip of water. There was a blowing of horns, then all of a sudden forty Wraiths stepped out in an orderly row and opened fire. The soldiers ducked behind the boulders, loaded fresh clips of ammunition in their cannons and simultaneously fired. The impact killed 19 wraiths and injured 12. Then menacingly 3 Force Guardians appeared and showered fuel rod cannons straight into the area. Many men screamed in agony as the fuel rod burned their flesh.

One Force Guardian lowered its gigantic force shield and charged, ramming into a large Leviathan brought in by dropships. The single blow crushed the shields and flattened the front of the Leviathan. The Guardian swung its large blade, smashing many soldiers around the ballistic tank. Armor-piercing pinged off the Guardian's titanium steel armor and they seemed to have no effect on him as he kept on coming. It made shortwork of a fire team dedicated to sniping down infantry then sliced across a group of tank-hunters. Many collapsed to the ground dead, their helmets totally crushed by the impact. One of them survived, stood up and opened fire on the massive apparition and it swung its shield into the soldier. The soldier slammed to the ground, his neck disgustingly tilted to one side.

Ewan from 30 yards fired a rocket into the massive giant's helmet. The helmet flew off and took along it's head. The large soldier swung to the ground and shook up the dust. Joel opened fire with a rifle, taking along the lives of 2 wraiths unlucky enough to stumble into his line of fire. The armor-piercing bullets pierced through their plasma armor and stopped them in their tracks, fresh blood flowing freely. Ismail threw a plasma grenade he obtained from a dead Wraith scout. It exploded with a loud BANG, crushing 4 Wraiths and wounding 10 others. The ground was stained by the splash of plasma.

The Plasma Warriors

2006-06-27T02:07:00.000-07:00

Ewan and Joel listened again and again to the feed they had from the captain before he was killed. Many soldiers stood around in discomfort. Finally, the two decided that it was wise to destroy the threat. Soon, 4 Pelicans landed beside the camp, and carried Joel, Ewan and 100 soldiers to the estimated location of the pit.

The 4 Pelicans slowed down. There was broken stones and plasma burns on the ground. Carefully the soldiers got off the airplanes, and took a look around the environment. Certainly, there was a huge hole in the middle of the barren land, and dead soldiers lay everywhere. Joel found the Captain, whose helmet was gone. He lay dead near some large boulders, crushed by a large stone slab.

Suddenly, Ewan heard something open fire on them. Before they knew what had happened, 200 Wraiths and the Soldier had gathered and started to spray plasma fire. Joel took out his rifle, activated his shields and joined in the firefight. The 100 Allied soldiers fought hard, but they could not hold back the enemy, as more and more forces joined the fight. 50 more wraiths appeared out of the hole and threw many plasma grenades. Shrapnel pierced through the soldier's armors and many of them were wounded.

One grenade blew up near Joel, setting off his shield alarms. He waited for the shield level to go back up, then threw a fragmentation grenade across the rocks. He heard a loud explosion, and smelt burning meat. However, now many soldiers were killed by the large Soldier. He used his fuel rod cannon to launch plasma, heat-seeking missiles. They exploded on impact, causing much chaos and injury. Then the large being drew its energy force blade, held onto its force shield and charged. The Wraiths behind him followed suit.

Ewan saw the huge Soldier coming, and took out his rocket launcher. He launched a single rocket and was startled when the Soldier didn't even flinch once. He could not disengage, and was slammed by the large shield. Ewan's strong special armor saved him, but its shield level went extremely low. Joel drew his laser blade and sliced across the Soldier, cutting through a portion of heavy armor like paper. Joel saw his chance, unslung his rocket launcher, and launched a sure and accurate shot straight into the unprotected flesh. There was a shriek, then chaos reigned as the Soldier collapsed onto the ground dead, stirring up a great amount of dust particles.

The Wraiths looked distraught and could not fight on. The allies overpowered them and destroyed the wave of soldiers. The last Wraith shot a sure bullet into a soldier's head and blew off the soldier's helmet. Blood sprayed out disgustingly from his head. Then Ewan charged forward and sliced off the Wraith's head with his energy blade.

They stared around the ruins and waited for pick-up. When they were back at the base, they found out something. "These warriors are known as the Plasma Warriors, who delve deep inside the mines where uranium is found. They have superb technology and very thick armor. The Soldier which Joel killed is a type of warrior they have, an oversized Mephit. They call themselves Force Guardians and are supremely strong and durable." the officer said.

"Plasma Warriors. Force guardians... interesting." Joel muttered to noone in particular.

End of the Alien War, but Another Erupts..

2006-06-26T05:44:00.000-07:00

Now as the remaining soldiers looked out upon what had once been their homes, they sighed and began clearing the piles of debris of airplanes , rubble, pieces of molten rock, leftovers of the disgusting aliens, broken towers and corpses. There was also loads of slime and blood around, making progress difficult. Worst still, many soldiers were wounded and infected by an alien disease and there were scarcely any medics left in the small army.

Gathering up piles of uranium from the subterrean caves with crushed entrances, they moved the radioactive material into barrels and closed it. Gathering up what materials they had, they began building a camp for the soldiers to have refuge. Meanwhile, dropships from Relic had arrived, and parachuted many soldiers onto the ground to speed up the progress. More dropships came, dropping piles of hardwood for building purposes, as well as dropping some more Hydras onto the landing pads which were not damaged by the alien war.

As there were still aliens hiding inside the caves waiting for a chance to sprout out again to ravage the land, Joel took along 5 of his veteran soldiers, Mephits, to destroy the alien threat once and for all. Gathered at the entrance of the caves, the 6 of them lobbed plasma grenades into the hole. They listened to the explosion of the grenades, heard alien shrieks, and were convinced that the alien threat was destroyed totally. But one thing they didn't know, the aliens could reproduce quickly, so they had to destroy EVERY single one of them...

Meanwhile, a small camp had been set-up, with watchtowers and bunkers for soldiers to rest in. A factory had also been set-up to build war units like the Hydra and the Behemoth to defend the camp against further threats. Ewan was busy commanding the repair of the base, but the soldiers under his command were out in the open, searching for survivors. Looking into a hole in the ground, a sergeant pointed and said, "What's in that hole?"

The soldiers looked but could not find any explanation, when suddenly, plasma bombs started flying out and detonating, and the area was splashed with plasma. The soldiers stared around shocked as more plasma sprayed out and killed many of them. At least 10 soldiers out of the group of 50 had been obliterated by the impact of the blast and they were starting to back away when a hook hit the top of the hole, and loads of Wraiths equipped with plasma weapons leaped out of the hole and opened fire.

Ewan's soldiers hid behind a pile of boulders and returned fire. The ballistic weapons hit the Wraiths and many of them fell, never to awake again. However there were still fully 200 of them at least and the Egarthan soldiers had limited ammunition and supplies to continue the frantic firefight. A captain gave them orders. "Fire Team A! Defend the left flank!"

"Team B, defend the centre area where our supplies are kept!" "Rest of you defend the right flank!" as more Wraith soldiers appeared and bombarded the area with plasma fire. The Egartha soldiers were hard put to it. They fired rounds after rounds of ammo but still more Wraiths appeared and appeared. Then a large Mephit-like soldier appeared, jumped down from a short cliff, absorbed the shock with its massive knees and moved towards the centre flank.

"Come on guys, lets take this bastard out!" a corporal ordered.
"No! Fall back!" The captain shouted as he bent over to retrieve a rocket launcher. But he knew it was too late. The soldiers didnt have a prayer as they had come too close and could not disengage from the firefight. The massive soldier used a stone slab to smash many soldiers who crumbled to the ground in pain. The rest stood and opened fire on the giant. The corporal threw a fragmentation grenade, watched it detonate, and stared in disbelief as the soldier kept on coming towards him. Its massive arms slammed into him, and his armor's warning siren started screeching as shield levels went low. He grunted in pain, unable to hold his weapon. He fell to the ground, but he remained conscious, which meant that he was able to see the massive soldier crush him with its energy force shield. There was a howl of pain as the corporal died and his armor blew up, unable to withstand the force shield.

Meanwhile, the frantic Captain fired rockets into the large unearthly being, but it seemed to have little effect on him. Few soldiers were left to continue the firefight. Then he remembered the radio on his helmet. He contacted the main base and told them of the events. Then a plasma grenade hit him and blew his helmet off. He stumbled to the ground, clutching his wound and stared up as the feared soldier appeared, held onto its energy shield, and smashed it into the captain. He tried to withstand the pain but to no avail, and he waited for the first glimpse of paradise. Seeing their captain go down, the rest of the soldiers had no more heart to fight further. The Soldier used its fuel rod cannon and blasted the remaining small group into a pile of rocks nearby.

The last soldiers alive shot a few bullets at the soldiers, attempted to flee, and felt plasma hitting them. They closed their eyes and slumped to the ravaged ground. The squad of elite soldiers was obliterated by this new force which had superb technology.. Fuel rod cannons, plasma weapons, force shields and hardened armor..

Uranium Rush:Aftermath

2006-04-02T07:37:00.000-07:00

The soldiers stared at the wreckage around the area. Broken towers, torn camps, crushed lumber mills. They sighed and gathered up the survivors. Setting up camp, they decided what to do when Icifica without warning rushed up and charged.

Before they knew what was happening, another fight had begun. They hurried and picked up their plasma guns and opened fire. A few Icifica soldiers were weakened by the shots and slumped to the muddy ground. While the other Icifica soldiers were distracting the Relic men, their captain stepped out... none other than Ismail of course. Laughing evilly, he pushed a button on his airship.. explosions rocked the base. People started running around, scurrying for shelter. Antimatter guns fired a continous stream of antiprotons at the capital, breaking the structures of solid rock.

He laughed. The day had come, when Icifica would take over the world. The antimatter guns worked perfectly. But, the soldiers were not so easily beaten. They grabbed their weapons and shot the airship, making it malfunction. Ismail started to panick and retreated. His soldiers covered him by spraying tear gas. Everyone's eyes started to water and they couldn't do anything. When they could see again, Ismail and his Icifica army were gone..

Morgana Prime Is Threathened:Uranium Rush Final

2005-12-25T23:33:00.000-08:00

Drums were beating. Upon the war-ravaged land and the destroyed capitals of the 3 factions and the caverns of aliens were sprouting out troops to reinforce the war. The soldiers from Relic, Morgana Prime's neighbouring planet, had joined in the fight. Having joined with the armies of Jolantis and Egartha, they fought for days and days upon the plains. Fires sprouted and acid flowed freely in contaminated rivers upon the land of Morgana.

The aliens were charging again. The soldiers of Helike, only about 2500 strong now, with around 400 soldiers from Ewan-Joel's alliance, gathered for a last stand. The aliens gathered their Crudgins and Podas and started ripping the frontlines of the soldiers. Across the wide plain, the Icifica army could be seen fighting against alien air raids.

Suddenly, great air supplyships appeared out of the horizon of the land of Morgana Prime. Moving slowly, like majestic airships armed with great cannons, they were Condors of Relic, great siege ships built to stand siege against enemies, transport supplies and launch powerful laser blasts at the land beneath them. The flag of Helike flew behind it, and the 5 Condors moved forward, Afterburners flicked on. Large and gigantic, they reached the now-ravaged capital of the Alliance and slowed down. Glowing white, they gathered energy and launched a white laser beam straight at the aliens. A Fusion Storm it was, where enough flak energy was gathered to launch destructive blasts of flak and laser at enemy airships. The group of alien air-strike monsters were all blown up, green blood and disgusting slime splatted across the floor.

The Helike army raised their flags, and charged out. Shouting for liberation and the death of their enemies, the aliens, they moved their war-machines forward, with a new unit:a hydra. Fast moving and launching volleys of cannons into the air, it could turn airships into debris in seconds straight. War cries arose and great shouts as the 2 armies met and fought. Great sluaghter, long hours of bloodshed, but at last a big portion of the aliens had been killed, and the rest were driven back into their underground caves.

Meanwhile, Icifica's commander Ismail ordered 5 Shade units to self-destruct at the great Miasmal. They started blinking red, hot with explosive energy. It exploded into smithereens, dealing a big punch to the Miasmal. The Miasmal seemed to move around dizzily, then crashed onto the ground. 250 invisible Jorias guardians stepped out and attacked. Ismail sent the Leviathan against them, which had ballistic shielding and prevented close combat and ballistic weapons from damaging the great twin-cannon tank. They charged the grounds, overcoming the weak remaining aliens, killing nearly all of them. The rest retreated, leaving few injured or dead.

The dark clouds cleared out from the sky. Sunlight shone onto the land beneath. All the soldiers of Icifica, Jolantis and Egartha looked out upon the pale blue sky with great wonder.

Alien's Siege

2005-08-18T16:41:00.000-07:00

Morgana Prime was overwhelmed with thousands of aliens. No army could stand up against them. The war of the 3 factions were forgotten. All only cared to drive the aliens back to their subterrean caves, their breeding grounds.

Spectres from Ewan's small leftover force started launching nukes, IRBMs at their enemies. After a 10 second siren planetwide, the large missile came zooming down at terrific speeds into the aliens. But nobody could tell what happened to them, whether dead or alive. But all knew that the Inter-Regional Ballistic Missile worked against the aliens. They hated it, the flames and wreckage.

Not too far away, Ismail's force, the Icifica army was retreating from their capital, right into the direction of the ally's force. Already, Super-organics had overrun the planet. Just then, many starships were spotted zooming across the horizon. Many parachutes opened up. Men could plainly be seen parachuting from the space shuttles. Soon, a small troop of soldiers never seen were talking to Joel and Ewan. "We come from Relic after the summons, sirs." they said.

"From Helike," they whispered. Joel stared at the ships above. The summons were really answered. After some time, the entire Helike army touched down on Morgana Prime, now a debatable and desert land. The aliens were holding a siege against the inhabitants of Relic and Morgana Prime. The Helike army consisted of around 4000 sturdy troops of Spirits, Mephits, Daevas, Ghasts and Revenants. Soon, they stormed the front, along with about 300 of Ewan's troops and 170 of Joel's troops. This was all the strength left.

Who would win this war? Everyone knew the answer and could wager their bets. However, the men were not going to give up. They were going to fight for the freedom of Morgana Prime, a world of wonders, full of exploration, a destination for future heroes..

Uranium Rush Final:Morgana Prime is Threathened

Battle for the Underground III Alien Uprising

2005-08-10T23:11:00.000-07:00

Swarms of aliens poured out from the caves as armies surfaced and retreated. Gasping for fresh air, everyone ran around. Morgana Prime was in an indescribable chaos as fires rose and poisonous fumes rose around the air.

And more and more aliens were coming out. Many species were they, Podas, Kritsks, Mlorthas. Then, more and more air flew out, Oizys, Boreas, Erises, Lyssas, not to mention the Manta and Onnir, feared for its ability to exert a tachyon sweep, which could detect camouflage, cloak and infiltrate. Men ran out of their capitals to fight the aliens, but to no avail. They were far too strong. Morgana Prime was ruined. Towers and buildings crashed down in the Joel-Ewan capital. The flag of eternal alliance was torn by the acid attacks from Crudgins, a hideous looking monster which had small legs to move around.

Behemoths were sent by Joel to hold the Capital gates. They had no choice but to hold a siege against the aliens. Everyone was utterly exhausted and famished. No food could be found, as acid had ruined every single food found in the capital farms. Boldly, Joel let out a sortie of 250 troops, made up of Mephits and Imps. They rushed out in a darehardy formation, firing laser and flames at their alien enemies. But the aliens had the upperhand, and soon the troops were down.

At that moment, many explosions almost simultaenously occured in the capital of the allies. "Ugh!" Ewan shouted. Charises had dropped many acid missiles onto the capital. The great storage of uranium was destroyed, and the radioactive metal came flowing out, to everyone's horror. "Fall back, fall back!" Joel summoned the remaining troops, fleeing away from the destroyed, ravaged land of aliens.

More than five thousand valiant troops had been killed since the aliens came. How long could the army hold? Joel doubted that they could last much longer. They were short of food, no materials for new mobiles to be constructed, and no weapons to equip their remaining force. Furthermore, the aliens were hotly on their heels.

Joel had just enough titanium metal to forge 4 Arbalests. He equiped them with a very strong mortar fire bombardment and launched it. Showers of dust sprayed over the planet like a large cloudy mushroom as the mortar fire struck the aliens. For the first time in the siege, never was there bloodshed among the aliens. Now, that was going to change! The mortar badly hurt the aliens, killing many also.

Meanwhile, leagues away, Ismail's sundered force returned to their capital, not yet revaged. They could clearly see many explosions and flames rising in the ravaged land, no longer a magical garden of greenery it was before.

And now, Joel had sent summons for help to the space portal in the planet Relic. Will help ever come?

Uranium Rush:Battle of the Underground II

2005-06-19T19:33:00.000-07:00

War raged in the unsteady terrain beneath the surface as armies met and fought. The aliens were charging on with an entire strong army that seemed indestructible. Men fell and machines crashed as aliens charged into them. The almighty Knell buried underneath and surfaced, biting through the armor of the Behemoths sent in by Joel to join the fray with their sharp fangs.

All was wavering and they were circled by gross aliens. Crudgins stood a few metres away from them, ready to pelt the remaining army of Mephits with acid pods. Podas, standing beside the army were ready to bite into the men. Boreas flew around, ready to shower the army in flames from above. Charises were ready to launch acid-like missiles into their enemies.

Raising their laser weapons, the army stood its ground. They fired again and again at the aliens. Meanwhile, Ismail's force was trying to fight the Miasmal which was pelting them with rocks. The Jorias guards charged into them with supremely sharp claws. They appeared to be losing also. The aliens were too hard for them to conquer. The aliens broke upon them like a wave and washed away the army. They were scattered and trying to escape their horrifying fate.

Fires rose up in the cavern as the war-machines of Joel exploded into flames with loud sounds of 'Boom!'. The army was defeated. Joel and a small company of Daevas escaped to the surface of Morgana Prime. This was the remnant of the 2000-strong army. Joel sighed, looking at the army. They trudged back to the capital, defeated, worn out, bitter.

Uranium Rush:Battle of the Undergrounds

2005-06-12T18:32:00.000-07:00

The alien uprising at crater had disrupted Morgana Prime's mining crews to mine uranium in the subterrean caverns. Large amounts of uranium left over during the destruction of the planet Geode was found in the deep caverns underneath the surface of planet Morgana.

To counter the growing danger of too much uranium, faction mining crews were set up to mine out the uranium, in addition, add to their faction treasuries.

A mining crew of fourty Spirits represented Jolantis and started mining. The same was for Egartha. Deep underground however, they encountered Icifica...

A great battle began below, with aliens joining in.

Much uranium collected dropped into the deep abyss, never to be recovered as they fought in the undergrounds. "We need aid!" one mining scout reported over the radio to the Radar Command Center of the Egartha capital.

Soon, massive armies joined in and reinforced the battle of the undergrounds. Because of the unsteady terrain beneath the smooth surface of Morgana Prime, mobile siege tanks could not be sent. All armies were made of infantry units, armed to the teeth with armor and strong weapons.

Swords clashed and guns fired as the enemies exchangd blows with one another. But there was far more trouble than the aliens and the three factions..

They awoke the terror of the deep abyss, a Miasmal of Tho, mutated, strong, and wielding heavy rocks as weapons... with a thousand Jorias guards.

Showdown at Crater:Final War

2005-06-12T16:34:00.000-07:00

Armies were gathering and arming themselves. Makeshift defences were set up. And more and more aliens spewed out of the underground caverns. Desperately, Joel reinforced an entire squad of Spectres. "Launch it!" he cried. The Spectres immediately fired 6 IRBMs into the atmosphere. After a few minutes, they touched down at a breakneck speed:Right into the cavern.

Showers of dust sprayed out of the cave and green blood splattered here and there as many aliens were slaughtered by the H-Talon Nukes of Joel. "CHARGE!" Ewan commanded.

All at once, the entire army of the allies moved out of the stronghold in rows of seven. Wielding many different assortments of weapons and riding upon siege tanks, Leviathans and Behemoths, they went on to rid the land of the alien uprising.

After several hours of hardy war and great ruin, the aliens were dead and hewn headless on the disrupted, jagged floor. Men lay dead with guns and swords around them. Joel slashed off the head of the alien captain and placed it upon a stake. The rest were gathered into a pile and buried.

"Victory is ours!" Ewan shouted.

"Not so, we still have Icifica to deal with," Joel reminded him. With the remnant of the army, they rushed into the Icifica camps. There was war and great slaughter as many Daevas, Spirits, Shades, Revenants and Phantoms rushed into the camp with pikes and spears. They pierced through the soft armor of the Icifician's infantry units with ease and cleared the meat shields.

Suddenly, there were great shouts. The entire Icifica foot army of ten thousand was running back towards their main stronghold as 20 ballistic-shield Leviathans stormed the front. Joel ordered to reform the line. "Charge at them head on!" he commanded. The army went on, going ever closer towards the Leviathans with 35 gunmen Spirits on each.

Bullets whisked here and there and became embedded among the loamy soil as the Spirits fired again and again with endless ammunition. The Joel-Ewan Behemoth siege-tanks moved onto a Methane Vent to recover energy before moving on.

Soon, the armies clashed. Sword rang upon spear as the men rushed on to kill the invaders of Crater. Several Apparitions, from afar, used their snipers to take aim at the enemy units. The damage applied was undeniable as they killed many spirits with extreme accuracy.

"Go go go!" Joel radioed the team. They rushed on into the stronghold, killing the many guards on the way. There, the 10 thousand strong army awaited. They were crushed by the metal tracks of the Behemoths and thus managed to gain a free entrance into the stronghold. Chaos was everywhere and fire was started as the mighty camps fell into ruin. Ismail escaped with 50 elite guards and two hundred troops, who had lost alot of morale and could not fight anymore.

"This is not the last of me.. I will return.." Ismail declared as he fled back to his capital.

Crater:The Greatest Battle (Episode 3)

2005-06-11T21:24:00.000-07:00

"Launch the Arbalests!" Joel ordered. The Arbalests immediately bombarded the POC (Point of Contention) with mortar fire. Leviathans rolled on. The dust splattered and stirred up a slight sandstorm as the mortar fire rained onto the Leviathans. After several crashes, shouts, and several sounds of 'Boom!', they peered into the area where sand and dust mixed together and obstructed visibility.

The remains of the Leviathan tanks were clearly seen embedded in the dirt. Fire and ruin was around the wreckage. The 'I' symbol showing the standard of Icifica was clearly seen on the tank's dirt-filled wall. The whole map was filled with chaos as battle arose everywhere. The entire Field of Crater was run over by both forces, defensive and opposition. Everywhere mortar fire landed on the ground as again and again, many Infantry units tried to cross the path into Joel-Ewan's stronghold of many arms.

Though not as beautiful as before, the stronghold still was surrounded by flower-blossomed trees and covered with polished marble walls. The place was guarded by one thousand cloaked Spirits, continously on the lookout for any enemy spy who escaped the punishment of trespassing, death by mortar fire.

"FIRE!" Ismail shouted as he launched another IRBM. The Red-eye came out another warning: "Opposing nuke detected! Warning, warning!" But this time they were ready. The Liche generated a Nukeshield. The nuke came... Ismail waited for more good news. But! The Nukeshield stopped the impact. The nuke exploded into shattering shards and fell harmlessly to the ground.

At least, no one in the JE stronghold could hear the cursings of Ismail many leagues away. Suddenly, the ground erupted. What was it? "My lord, aliens have been found disrupting the entire land, destroying everything in their wake!" a scout reported frantically. Ewan glanced round the area. Knells and crudgins were emerging from the subterrean caverns. He sounded the alarms. "To arms! Clear the alien army!" They armed themselves and went to war. Lightning boomed and swords clashed as the men charged on valiantly to defend their stronghold. However, the aliens weren't as stupid as they thought. They appeared to have plans. They swiftly found the Arbalests and cleared them. The entire map of Crater was ravaged in a war that seemingly wouldn't end. Many men were threw down by the overpowered aliens. The JE stronghold was enclosed in a ring of foes, an army of aliens, many thousands strong.

Inside the stronghold, many makeshift tents were set up and medics were called in to tend to the injured. Many were dead, and more were injured beyond cure. The stronghold was surrounded and had no defence.

And, the aliens were coming...

To be continued

Showdown at Crater:Episode 2 (The Calamity)

2005-05-17T16:34:00.000-07:00

The war tanks slowly rolled across the map with thundering noises. Loaded with missile weapons, they were really strong, plus normal weapons could never damage it with its titanium coating. Eagles passed overhead. Icifica's Eagles now launched useless missiles which bounced off the ultimate high-technology armor of the Behemoths. Soon, they reached their destination. They moved onto the POC and guarded it, preventing enemy forces from taking the POC.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a row of War Pigeons dropping armor piercing bombs came. With maxed afterburners on, they zoomed onto the POC and unloaded their bombs. The Behemoths hurriedly flicked on their boosters and rolled off, calling for backup. However, the bobms soon cleared them out before any aid was rendered. The entire allied force of Joel and Ewan was sundered. The army in the outlands was destroyed during an air raid led by a fleet of Condors. Reinforcing hardy units, Joel guarded the portal and made sure no enemy troop could get in.

After one hour of waiting, Ismail's long-prepared army charged into view. Riding on Leviathans, their Spirits from afar fired at the otuer defence of the joint portals. Joel sent Falcons and drained the energy off the Leviathan. Out of energy to move, it stopped moving and could not shoot. Panicked, the Spirits tried to run. However, from behind, the Falcons sapped their health and killed them. Waving the flag of perpetual alliance between Jolantis and Egartha, they gathered back their army.

Something was coming. 'Not a good sign," Joel thought. He sent Falcons to check out the situation. It became clear what it was, floating towards the portal, bigger than six Behemoths joined together. "Miasams!" the aviation captain radioed. They retreated and reinforced Hawks. The hawks turned on their Megathrusters and zoomed towards the Miasam. Close to 75 metres, the Hawks stopped, fired green lasers at the Miasam, approaching infront of the army. When the Miasam was approaching, they zoomed back and waited for the weapon to cool down. After 4 seconds, the weapon was ready to fire again. They zoomed into position, within range of the Miasam. They fired and went back. The Miasam was badly damaged now.

The Hawks zoomed forward for the last time. They shot down the Miasam and green blood splatted out gruesomely onto the already stained dirt and mud. Suddenly the Red-eye let out a warning: "Warning, warning, warning! Nuke detected!"

"Oh crap!" Ewan shouted. "SCATTER!" he commanded. Immediately, the entire army mvoed out of the portal, as fast as they could. Too late! All of them saw the approaching nukes coming down from a great speed. Doomsday was indeed nigh. They braced for the impact.

Boom! The nuke exploded, leaving ruin in its landing spot. A quarter of the army had been completely wiped out. The troops were dispirited. How long could they put up with the greatest battle ever seen on the planet of Morgana Prime? Time will tell...

Episode 3- Utter Destruction
Episode 4- The Allies Pull Through

Showdown at Crater

2005-04-28T16:25:00.000-07:00

Ismail decided to hit Crater, province 44 again. "Charge on, slow brutes!" he shouted. His army built up speed and ran across map 45 leading to the portal where one of Morgana Prime's greatest battles would begin.. They stepped into the portal.

Instantly, the entire army teleported into map 44, crater. "Storm the POCs!" Ismail cried. Immediately, the entire army rushed towards each of the 5 POCs in a suicidal charge. Meanwhile, some Trebuchets sneaked towards a whole bunch of trees and sent an air-flak shower over the portal. Many enemy air spawned and got destroyed by the flaks. Joel sent Revenants towards E2 POC which was very badly hit. They charged on until they were beside the enemies. It lifted up its bare fists, gathered strength, and pounded the ground with such a great impact that the entire map shook, as though an earthquake was nigh.

However, they failed to defend the POC. After a few more sounds of 'tit!' from E2 POC, they obtained it. Happy that Icifica had at last obtained one POC, he sent his entire army towards Joel's and Ewan's portals and mobbed them. Sigh! Like he always does, newbies never learn, isn't it? Joel retreated portal and came out of C1 portal. He sent his army scurrying over to re-POC while Icifica's main force was busy. Only a few imps were guarding E2 and they were quickly killed by Boreas checking out the POC. Soon after, several Pegasi moved onto the POC. This was followed by an entire squad of Abominations hurrying towards the POC.

"What do we do now?" Ismail angrily debated with his captains, fearing another loss. "I opposed coming to crater at first.." the first captain replied. "Shut up with your lame comments!" Ismail snapped. Without thinking, he sent some level one shades towards E2. Within ten seconds their corpses were lying on the ground, cruelly hewn. What would happen to the beautiful map of Crater now that it is ravaged by war?

To be continued...

Turmoil on Morgana Prime

2005-04-25T18:26:00.000-07:00

Because of Icifica's bad teamwork, Egartha realized that they could easily be defeated, if the factions of Egartha and Jolantis agreed to merge. They requested a merge, and both factions agreed. Thus, Egartha and Jolantis worked together as a team and Icifica was driven back to their capital helpless.

Once again, all three factions were battling in land 80, which was a corner map. All three POCs were located in the middle and was very easy to fast-poc. (FP) Thus, Egartha and Jolantis planned their strategies. They decided to send every hardy unit they had to POC all three at the same time.

Tit, tit, tit, tit, tit.... The POCs started to flicker red as the two factions stood on it together. Ismail, from afar, sent mephits with very long range. From over three feet away, they fired missiles were exploded during contact. But the explosion was weak and not able to kill much. Ewan sent several Pelicans to shoot them down. Joel sent many Oizies and Boreas to burn them apart. Soon, all three POCs belonged to the merged faction. They all celebrated the first victory after merging.

They set up a factory for their own use in map 80. Defences was set up and this plot of land became a needy sub-capital for those injured units far away from the capitals of the two factions.

A Failed Counter-attack from Icifica

2005-04-25T18:16:00.000-07:00

"Darn it!" Ismail shouted in rage, after Jolantis's victory at crater. They planned a counter-attack to destroy the capital of Jolantis. The Red-eye located in the capital of Jolantis was busy scanning the planet for any signs of enemy movement.

Suddenly, the Red-eye detected some air units flying towards the capital. Joel looked at the speed of the units. "Phoenixes or Condors," he muttered under his breath. "Reinforce five Hawks and check out the situation!" he commanded.

Immediately, the five Hawks came out of the capital's airbase. They flicked on the switch and activated the plane. It immediately zoomed off the highway and flew off into the horizon. All five Hawks stayed in contact with the capital's radar center.

'Condors spotted," one of them reported via radio. The Condors saw the incoming Hawks. Immediately, ten Icifica Hawks zoomed into view, with afterburners turned on. They divided into two packs and zoomed around Jolantis's Hawks. "They are trying out the hit and run strategy," one person reported.

Instinctively, they each flicked the same switch. All at once, the plane's megathrusters were turned on. They zoomed back with great speed, then changed direction and fired lasers at the enemy Hawks. The blow was enough to turn four Icifica Hawks into debris. The remaining six nosedived. The Condors were left. A hole opened from it's underneath, and a cannon appeared, charging up a purple ball of energy.

"Fusion Storm! Scatter quick!" everyone radioed each other. They moved at a speed so great that none of the purple lasers hit any Hawks. Meanwhile, the Red-eye was busy scanning again. An army of ground units appeared on the map, advancing towards the capital.

"A counter-attack," Joel said calmly, pressing a button on the Red-eye. The enemy's minimap was jammed and they had no idea where to go. Joel reinforced alot of War Pigeons and they bombarded the clueless enemy units. Soon, the entire army of Icifica was destroyed.

From his capital, Ismail watched the defence. "Lost again!" he shouted angrily. "Darn it!" All the strategic captains of Icifica quarreled with each other. "Well Ismail, you better improve your strategy soon," Joel sent him a message via the radio. With that, Ismail became angered and plotted revenge.

Crater;Three Way Attack

2005-04-23T10:35:00.000-07:00

"Charge on into crater!!!" Ismail, commander of Icifica shouted. His entire army was fighting with each other.

"Crater, quick!!" Ewan, commander of Egartha shouted across his advancing army. They all marched on neatly and waved the purple banners of Egartha.

'Crater, go go go!" Joel, the commander of Jolantis shouted across the province. His army ran across the land accessing to land 44, the crater. It is at the center of the planet, and is supremely large.

All three factions went in at the same time. Joel immediately set up the Red-eye and scanned the map. The commanders debated their next move. They decided to send their hardy units moving towards the POCs located at E2 and D5. They turned on the boosters to make the Behemoths go faster. The Mlorthas scurried with all their feet. They reached E2 without trouble and started to POC. The Behemoths and Quorgs reached D5. They stood on the POC and got it also. Now the current scores, Egartha had 2 POCs, Icifica had 1 POC and Jolantis had 2 POCs.

"Charge!!" Joel shouted. Soon, the entire map was astir with Jolantis's troops bringing everything down. Joel sent Chimeras with all boosters on rolling across the map. They spotted several Arbalests. Desperately, they stopped the bombardment, turned on their boosters and started to walk off. But too late! Joel's gold weapon chimeras turned Icifica's Arbalests into ruins.

Joel moved towards the rest of the POCs. Icifica, as usual, left their POC empty as they were busy portal mobbing Egartha. Joel moved onto the POC, and jammed the map. Bzzt! Bzzt! Rays and rays of radar jamming waves came out. The entire minimap was left with a mere blinking black map with white dots. Egartha's POC had paper units on it and they were cleared by Jolantis's hardy units. They moved onto it. Tit, tit, tit... Jolantis had won the battle for crater.

Introduction to the new Morgana Prime

2005-04-23T10:13:00.000-07:00

Add-on to Ewan's? Since they changed the factions, I think it will be fine to write stories of the three new ones. Tell me if you oppose, I will change it asap.

Power never seen before was unleashed on the planet of Morgana Prime, filled with blood and hatred. Terminus, Renaissance and Brotherhood stepped out of the planet. Icifica, Jolantis and Egartha stepped in to defeat each other and claim the planet as home.

The colors of the three factions were replaced with green, light blue and purple. None spare a thought of their enemies, killing each other upon contact. The war restarted, and there was bloodshed everywhere.

The green faction is Icifica. They are evil and notorious, and always quarrel within their own home. They are vile and never spare a thought for each other. All they know is to frag frag frag, mob mob mob, cut cut cut. But they dont know how to POC. Thats why they lose ten times more than they win.

The purple faction is Egartha. They are slightly more cooperative with faction mates and do not quarrel. They spare no mercy to their enemies and know how to POC at least. They easily thrash Icifica 5 POCs to none when they are attacking. How? By retreating and using different portal.

The light blue faction is Jolantis. The home of the peace-loving commanders and heroes, there is alot of peace in this faction. But they are peaceful by nature, so they do not know the real way of fighting and lose sometimes. They can get quite agressive when need arises. A very balanced faction filled with good people.

As mentioned above, the war has arised and the factions fight each other to move up the mobility bar. Each time they complete, more uranium resources are added to faction treasuries to be able to build more good units. So.. the war begins!
