Caesar's 2^nd and 3^rd Legions came marching eastwards, except a few on horseback or in vehicles, in Roman style body-armour and fatigues. While many were radhumans, or radmans, the majority were human-animal hybrid animans and animal-human hybrid animanoids. Gorilla types looked more aggressive but chimpanzee type animafolk were actually so. Types staid with their own and so there were ape, wolf, cougar, jackal, lion, elephant and a few other species focused units.

 

Spooked by the invaders' strange appearance, many locals simply retreated to the side and let them pass. Only once, in what had been West Virginia, did the army meet any real resistance and they went around it because it would have served no purpose to do otherwise; Emperor Julian Caesar had made a deal with an unknown force that had provided the Animanic Empire, and the Caesar Dynasty, with valuable resources to start the invasion including intelligence data. So they did not attempt to go straight, from Nevada to WashingtonDC, but via are the safest and most resources rich route.

 

At a Skyfaller city they gained a large amount of resources as paid for by the mysterious benefactor. It had been the second time such an action had taken place but the prior one had been situated at a smaller Skyfaller town. This time around the invaders gained armoured vehicles, robots and even animan appearing androids; they were of a kind known as animadroids.

 

They rested close to the curious city where they took advantage of it to gain fresh rations and good quality beverages.

With a great flash of rainbow-yellow-white energies the RepublicDC was transported to the Chosenzone, taking most of its people to a new homeland. Failing, the test to get into the Chosenzone, others were safely placed a goodly distance away and close to the notorious settlement of Fallentown; they gained resources to help them start again.

 

Calling themselves the 'Fallen15', a group of them set out on a path of redemption and to set out a series of goals that would lead to them having a place in the Chosenzone; they had just failed the testing!

 

With surprise, they had all been to Fallentown before, they noted odd changes but from a safe distance. The settlement had been cleaned up, straightened out, repaired and 'dullified'. The wildness had been stripped away and the people were dressed in ways that seemed improbable when compared to the history of that place. A short distance away was a Skyfaller Outpost with a paved road leading from it to Fallentown along with what looked to be a monorail along which ran monotrams.

 

Most wore coppery metallic caps, jumpsuits and gloves with black utilitybelts and boots. Fewer wore silvery gear instead of coppery and even fewer did so with golden items. There were those of different colour codes be they green, black, yellow, blue, red or purple except that these all wore types of power armour of which the greens appeared to be the most militaristic.

 

When they spotted the enslaved workers, with grey metallic skullcaps and collars, they were appalled for none of them had ever supported slavery. The grey, metallic, jumpsuit wearing convicts were clearly not being worked too hard but did that truly matter as they toiled to dig the foundations to some kind of large building.

 

So much for the idea of the Skyfallers being neutral! The discovery supported other disturbing stories making their way across the Wastelands of which the majority were of Skyfaller supplying invaders with equipment-supplies making it easier for them to do so; that is the EagleEnclavers from the north, the Animanic Legions from the west, the crazy 13Armies13 from the south and the reavers from the east.

 

Except that is was not just reavers, anymore, but also psykers, elementers, shappers, mimicers, and others as previously mentioned to be in one of the locations named as 'MainVault101DC'.

 

They turned to see, in the far distance, black smoky tentacles reaching aggressively up into the sky from where the RepublicDC had been situated. Bits-pieces of buildings, of ground, of other large structures, were being thrown through the air as if they weighed nothing. The tentacles vanished speedily below, perhaps to go underground, as even the weak sunshine of late daytime seemed to trouble them. It was a shocking experience, for them, despite the hard lives they had lived and the horrors that they had experienced.

 

Had they just faced the great enemy often whispered about that was known by multiple names but most commonly as the Malignamass? Or was it one of the Malignasters that served it? The 15 hardened antiheroes set out towards what remained of the RepublicDC but most carefully so on foot and in their survivalist power armour.

Even as the Fallen15 reached a vast pit, full of abnormal darkness that ignored the bright sunshine of daytime, they sensed that what was in it was neither good or bad but instead simply neutral of intention. Down there swirled blackness within darkness, deeper shadow within shadow, but at the very center a dimmed sphere of rainbow-yellow-white glowing energies. The observers somehow gained the impression that the sphere was very bright except it's light was partly suppressed by the entity wrapped around it.

 

Fallen01 spoke out, his voice showing his puzzlement. "I have the impression that the shadow entity protects the sphere while it serve supports it in turn."

 

Fallen02 looked around at the amazing site of broken buildings that had fallen from the sky. "Nothing alive here, not even microorganisms; they were all rescued and taken into the Chosenzone. What now, I wonder!"

 

They all vanished away with a soft shimmering only to materialise in a great rainbow-yellow-white domechamber. It was there that they suddenly knew they were now tasked with communicating with the shadow entity; they were to try to understand it, to teach it about that world as much as possible and to help ready it to move into a special aspect of the Chosenzone.

 

It once had been a Malignaster but it had become a friend-follower of the rainbow-yellow-white glowing ones. Already the Malignamass was seeking to take it back as it had invested a large part of itself into creating that powerful avatar. Would it dare to send another Malignaster considering it had lost that one to conversion?

 

The Fallen15 divided as five went to work, five tended to general needs and began special meditation in materialising facilities that responded to them as necessary. It was soon clear to them that what they were doing was of vital importance in what was really happening, what ever that was.

The 13War13 Armies managed to cross the Ponatomic River only to land at an area of difficult, Doomsday blasted, geography. The 13Warlords13 had been trying to avoid being confronted, by strong enemy forces, while in the vulnerable position of landing. Instead the unloaded forces ran into sinking bogs, mutated thorny plants, old entanglements of rustless metal barbwire, strange mutated monsters of exotic deadly tricks and radghoulers that were more dangerous than the standard type.

 

The avatar Mbrothers opened, at last, the MainVault101DC wheeldoor that they had found. They, and the others with them, were soon moving through a maze of tunnels, with utilities, that soon proved to be meant to deceive and confuse newcomers. Yet those Chosen Ones managed to get past all the tricks and to find a truly great chamber. Floating in the center, of that huge space, was a transparent globe and, inside it, what seemed to be the Gamerworld. Except it was both there, and not truly there, according to the deep impressions made by the Mbrothers. What was it and what was its purpose?

 

EagleEnclavers continued to move southwards, with some difficulty, as a grand army and to operate in Ravenrock from which infiltrators kept slipping into the rest of the WastelandsDC.

 

The parachute-crates continued to land with an expanding variety list of goods.

 

Atlantic marauders kept raiding mostly areas closer to that great ocean. Occasionally witnesses, safely hidden away, spotted one type fighting another but mostly they appeared to fight alongside each other if not together, strictly speaking.

 

The CeRaBaby first showed up in the Chosenzone, outside of the CeRaZone, but only as a powerful projection.

 

Caesar's Legions were stalled by attacks by strange battledrones and battlerobots; they appeared intent only on delaying the army's forward motion. The Legions were proving to have weaknesses in their range of technologies and the lack of some kinds of combat specialists.

Steeltroopers moved steadily towards a Skyfallers' city now proven too close to CitadelDC for the liking of the TriOrderhood. Steelgunners struck with salvos of ripple rockets, rotary howitzer shells, big autocannon shells along with howitzer missiles. The defence force fields flickered as some of the shells exploded with energies designed to undermine that type of defence. Then the target was vulnerable as projectiles struck at it and began to destroy it. With a sparkling shimmer the whole city dematerialised leaving behind evidence, in the form of a large digging, that it had been sneakily expanding underground. How many of the Skyfaller Settlements had been doing so? Warnings were soon being spread out through the alliance that was still solidifying.

 

Even as organised, coordinated, efforts began to systematically destroy Skyfaller Settlements in WashingtonDC, refugees began to move to that area where big sanctuary shelters were being set up. Odd looking, but efficient, floatacraft came out of the Chosenzone to assist the refugees and to otherwise help the new alliance.

 

From the high sky came drifting down 13,000 clusters of gold-silver-copper parachute-cubeboxes each having 1 golden, 2 silver and 3 copper sides being varied in just where they were situated in relation to the ground below. As with the grey clusters, that had come earlier, the new ones were as follows in each cluster; one big, three medium and nine small ones. They had the same measurements as the grey ones. This time they were to end up forming very few, biggest, fortresses and more, smaller, forts and even more, even smaller, fortposts. Most, who looked upon the new Skyfaller Bases assumed it was an invasion against the Wastelanders but was it that straight forward? That is was that the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

 

Strategies had to change and not just for the alliance.

The VaultShadows had largely been away from TechVault101DC, centered as it was on the FakeVault101DC. They had somehow been discovered but only by a few in some of the DemiVaults101DC. To their frustration, and the anger of the 13G13 that they served, they had not discovered how their secret had been leaked.

 

Now 14, of the childlike VaultShadows, were both flummoxed and pleased. They were without their armour and sitting in bubblebaths as the avatar Jsisters fussed over them, washed them, fed them more snacks and juicy juice, while making their individual piles of small gifts grow bigger. A Rainbowbaby was in her own bubblebath where she was also fussed over.

 

The VaultShadows found that, with the Rainbowbaby's influence, they remembered more about the 13G13 than in theory they should have been able to and it also surprised them that they spoke easily it all despite supposedly powerful mind controls being implanted in them.

 

The 13G13 were suffering from various troubles. They were reluctantly accepting that they were not only the real 13G13 but had been 'accidentally' created as part of the process of creating the Gamemultiworld after the Gamerworld had been finished; except that Gamerworld was also a fake and actually existed inside the first gameworld being linked to a MainVault101DC but not the real one. They were starting to wonder if there was a real 13G13 or a real Gamerworld. They were also questioning the viability, the rationality behind, the great invasion plan against WashingtonDC. The plan had seemed so very important and logical; now it no longer seemed so for the fake 13G13 had never really stopped to question matters.

 

If the real 13G13 did exist where were they, what were they and what were they truly up to?

They, the real 13G13, had escaped somehow from the Malignamass and it now knew it so despite the efforts of aspects of itself attacking itself with malignant savagery of intense hatred; that was just normality for the Malignamass just as much that would be considered abnormal by most, was.

 

The fake 13G13, and fake Gamerworld, had fallen under the sway of the Malignamass only to prove to be much weaker than the real ones so that the Malignamass had to booth boost them with its own malignant energies and to bribe unsavory others to do the same.

 

Most frustratingly was that the Malignamass could just sense the presence of both the real 13G13 and Gamerworld; it could not quite focus in on them. It continued to search the gameworlds, especially the first one as based partly on the computer Fallout game series; that is Fallout01 to Fallout21 along with Fallout New Vegas, Fallout NukaVision, Fallout Moon Grab and the comic relief of Fallout Ye Pants plus a few half forgotten ones.

 

Malignamass had a nagging feeling, it did not like feelings and tried to suppress them without any real success, that facts kept changing but that it accepted those changes far too easily with out questioning them. Mostly it kept to its own, extremely bizarre Oblivion Realm that it held as one of the 13 Daedric Royal Deities long forgotten on the great continent of Tamriel on the mostly mortal world of Nim where magic was largely dominant; it was the Daedric Duke Malignessari of extreme chaotic, unthinking, hatred and unforgiving. The 16 Daedric Princess were still known of there and some were even worshiped.
