The Snow Arena

[Ancalagon]

*Ancalagon, looking regal and awsome as always, paces about his open air dais at the top of his mighty tower. He has ordered the defenses of his Tower to be increased tenfold and the garrisons of the smaller Cities of Guard around the realm to be increased by the same number.

 

Focusing his godly powers, Ancalagon raises up a great forest of trees to border the Pillars of Creation, each stretching to the height of eight hundred feet and more than three hundred feet in diameter. Using his vast knowlledge of botany and arbology (whatever) the trees are resistant to all fire and cannot burn, and their bark is smooth and hard as diamond, so they cannot be felled by any means, Mortal or Immortal.

 

He then sends his servants to go and breathe life into these trees, so that they may move if need be and have voices of their own. All around the Realm (which stretches infinatley) he rears the towering peaks of the Impenetrable White Mountains of Guard, save for the entrance which the Pillars of Creation guard. Using more powers he places eyries upon the Pillars, so that Eagle may nest and also aid in the guard. Upon the tops of the Pillars, he places two unsleeping Great Dragons, Naramindyur and Hyamungray (get it?) who stand guarding the Pillars Flames that stand as beacons for the souls of the dead so that they may come and live in the Blessed Realms. Ancalagon senses that much more is to be done, and he orders the fires to be lit under his Great Forge once more, which encircles the rim of a mighty volcano and he prepares for what was forseen to take place though it is still incredibly far off, Ancalagon is no procrastinator.

 

'You bet your ass I'm not. Now, dammit, I'm gonna FIND who stole the cookie from the cookie jar, if it takes me forever to do SO!'

 

*He spins and walks down from his Dais, snagging a bottle of Champagne and slapping the servant girls buttocks at the same time.

[Almelexia]

The day after Almelexia storms trough the small city but when she is getting close she sees more guards then yesterday, what is this she wonders for herself. And then she breaks the walls to the small city and storms in.

[ShinJiOh]

*Shin upon hearing the message of Ancalagon replies with a

"I'm half-dead, or re-dead as it were does that count?"

 

Having inspired his men to fight valiantly he goes to the giant spoon obelisk and in an instant the giant ice planet of emour, is right next to Mars II, and a billion automated x-wings join forces with the fleets of Pack Rat in orbit around Mars.

 

"machinery instead of humans, blood does not have to be spilt this day, but something must be broken."

 

*Shin eyeing his fleet from the command deck is issued with report from his sensory officer.

 

Sir, the ice death star is headed for a comet in the wrong side of Space.

 

"It is?, the prepare my ship, get me my 1000 best fighters and their pilots, it is in h3ll that they will ever get my best ship."

 

and what of the planet and the fighters guarding Mars II

 

"Nuts, leave them here, i made a promise, let's just go"

 

but, how do you plan to win sir....?

 

"simple, i have prayed to lord ancalagon for defence... our shields will hold"

 

*As Shin walks to the docking bay he sniggers to himself "you're going to DIE Optimus.

[ohGr]

ohGr enters the office of war on mars II, he asks a lady behind a counter where he can find pack rat

hes in an important meeting, if you want, i can give him a message while your waiting

 

ohGr thinks for a while, then replies

yes please, tell him its ohGr, im willing to form an alliance

 

the lady beginds fiddleing around with some things, then says to ohGr

just sit over there and wait till the meeting is over

 

ohGr walks over to the chair, he sits down, and begins to wonder, where it all went wrong, then it hits him, his constant thinking for abusing his power, he obviously pushed it too far....killing jack and taking advantage of sarah, it all shows where he went wrong, where his life turned upsidown, then ohGr begins thinking on how to reconstruct himself, how to rebuild his base, how to start it all again, even if he relys on the tribals.

[Slaiv]

Aurvandil Theta Fleet, Undisclosed Location, 1320 hours:

 

"I must return to the Command Ship. Send Orpha Squadron to begin Operation X. Command them to return to the Stasis Field when they are done. We will be waiting for them."

 

"Yes, Sir."

 

All of Slaiv's forces [excluding Orpha Squadron] move into hyperspace, traveling into the Stasis Field, where they will wait for sign form Peregrine.

[Pack Rat]

While Lord ohGr waits in the office, Lord Pack Rat enters all of a sudden.

 

"Lord ohGr, welcome to the Red Nation... The last free stand of mankind. I hope your realise that with coming to the Red Nation and by seeying me your life is forfeit in the yes of the monster Peregrine. I suggest you move your army, fleet or whatever you have left to Mars II, so we can remain safely under the planetary shields who have become imprenetable, not for weapons nor for ships..."

"But how will you launch ships to outer space then?"

"Trough the dock... Dont worry, I realised that would be a weak spot into our defences, so I gave orders to use Malchik's Gift in it's defences... You might say our planets have become imprenetable fortresses...

But now let's return to business. I am willing to accept an alliance but forgive me if I have no full trust in you, not since the betrayl of Armiena... However prove your valor and qualities and you'll have my trust... If you accept this alliance and you are in need of something, just in ask... I will leave you now to consider my offer. But remember this, once you leave Mars II, Peregrine will hunt you down..."

 

Pack Rat enters the Room of War...

"Any word?"

"Slaiv- intercepted the message we were "sending trough", but I dont think he believes us..."

"Let him be... If he wants to be a fool and is only willing to find out the hard way... So it shall be..."

"My Lord, but tell me this, Peregrine was able to gather their forces already, why doesnt he get rid of them now?"

"Easy... Because we are still here. Peregrine knows that it is our ideals and our duty to help anyone in need. If he betrays them now, it is very likely they will crawl to us and beg us for aid. Armiena's life is forfeit in the eyes of the Nations law but we are still obligated to asssist Slaiv-. Armiena would crawl to Slaiv- and Slaiv- would crawl to us, so we would be assisting Armiena in that way..."

"I understand so if we die, they will die. We live, Peregrine wont betray them..."

"Exactly..."

 

It all begins to make sence in the eyes of Pack Rat soldiers, never will they serve the monster called Peregrine, their hatred grows by the day, and if their lifes are forfeit...they will make a stand he will never forget.

 

"I want to send one last message to Slaiv and Armiena before they are inside the field."

"What field?"

"We have picked them up from the beginning on the scanners, there never was a spy on board on Armienas ship, we knew from the beginning where they were heading... They are heading to some statis field..."

"Peregrines Lair..."

"Possibly, or the place where they will die..."

 

I have one last question for you.

Are you capable and willing to murder women and children? Are you willing to kill a child that cannot resist you?

Becaus that is what he will ask of you, because that is what your mighty Lord does...

How will you react when you stare at the blood on your hands of an innocent Mars-child... How will you react when a Mars-woman is raped by his men in front of you?

Have you even asked yourself:"Can I allow that? Will I allow that?"...

If you havent, the question in a few years will no longer be "Can I? Will I?".

 

But it will be:"What have I done..."

 

After sending the message, he moves himself to the chapel again.. He strumbles trough the hall way refusing any help of getting him up again and when he finally reaches the chapel he falls on his knees and a tear roles over his cheek.

"What have I done, that my people deserves such a fate?"

[ohGr]

ohGr takes a short think about his alliance decision, he begins to remember things he hid back at his planet, blueprints, plans, even machines cabable of universal destruction at a last resort, Pack Rat appears in the room again and asks

your decision is?

 

ohGr stands up and replies

i am willing to form an alliance, although, there is a odd story to whats happening, i dont know what happened exactly, but last night, i woke up not too far from my base, it was destroyed, completely, and i lost everyone i knew or even trusted, although, i remember where i kept all the blueprints, defences, offensive stuff, everything that was used in the base, even forcefields, that were practically impossible to crack, although, the reason why they were breached was because we had a power problem, and for some reason, i ended up outside instead of dead, these tribals on the island, very barbaric people, yet so advanced in technology said if i come back, they will hunt me down, the problem is, i overheard from them, that their making a new camp on the base site, and if they get those blueprints everyones screwed, so first, im going to need a gun and a ship, only for 4 hours, then ill be back with the blueprints, we can call it an alliance, and you can use the defenceive structures in them to protect the base, although, one of them maybe huge, it can wipe out half a planet in 4 seconds, mind you, we were on a budget when designing this thing, so, will you help me out, so i can help you?

 

ohGr awaits pack rats decision.

[Pack Rat]

Pack Rat smiles...

 

"You will get 5 Titan battleships at your disposal. Return them with the blueprints and any survivors you might find. Our long range scanners have made a scanning on the place and there is indeed human activity. We were also able to photograph a convoy of prisoners, so I want you to get them out of there too. Dont worry about the Titans, they are protected by Malchik's gift... So Peregrine wont be able to harm you but remember this, you dont have much time before Peregrine will try to destroy the planet. Be back at the battleships and you will survive..."

 

Pack Rat reaches his hand...

 

When ohGr has left, Jun'Ko istn quiete sure...

 

"Wont he try to betray us?"

"He? Maybe... But he wont be able too since the crew will be Eric and his men..."

"I'm sorry, My Lord, but it's just since Armiena betrayed us..."

"I know, I find it hard to trust people now too..."

[ohGr]

ohGr gets in the ship, tells the pilot where to go, and they take off, ohGr walks to the center of the ship, looks around in the armory, armors up, gets a gun and some grenades, and fills a crate with weapons, for the prisoners.

 

1 hour later, the ships land, and everyone gets out, ohGr calls out

ok!, 3 minutes north-west is the old base, we have to move in and move out in 10 minutes, freeing the prisoners, ill get the blueprints, move move move!

 

everyone begins to move forward while keeping cover at the same time, eventually, everyone is surrounding the remains of the NOD base, some of the tribals come out, aware of them, ohGr calls out

hold your fire!

 

one of the tribals speaks out to ohGr

i see youve come back...as i expected, but i have a question.....are you a god

 

ohGr replies

no

 

the tribal screams out in a evil voice

then DIIIEEEE!!!!!

 

everyone opens fire on the tribals, easily killing him, he signals everyone to move underground, simply slaughtering the tribals as they move, ohGr tells everyone to take the crate of weapons and find the prisoners, and to explain the situation before freeing them, ohGr goes alone to find the blueprints, he finds them all including most of his stuff, he grabs the bag, and the bag of blueprints, and heads out, he sees the prisoners, he sees sarah with the prisoners, in her normal uniform, as it seems they werent tortured, just tested.

sarah says

looks like you found an ally, im proud, you finally did something yourself

 

ohGr didnt have the time to be a smartass

get on the ship, now

 

everyone runs back to the ship, slaughtering the tribals as normal, they go on the ships, and takeoff, they arrive back at mars II with one hour to spare, the prisoners get taken away by the soldiers, while ohGr heads back to the War Office, with the blueprints, and his stuff, he walks in, with a few cuts and a little of the tribals blood stained on his face, he sits down, and awaits Pack Rat, to complete the alliance.

[Pack Rat]

Pack Rat enters the office. He has a quick look at ohGr.

 

"You are a mess. Eric told me everything went quiete smoothly. Your people were taking to the hospitals where they will be provided with food and medical attention. I reserved a room for you, it's next to Erics room. You might want to go there and fresh you up a bit. If you are in need of medical attention I'll send the doctor. There are several Red Navy uniforms there, witch you could wear untill we have your uniforms fixed. I see you have the plans... There is a vault in your room where you may want to place those, just do me one favor. If you have any plans that might destroy the universe, I want you to burn those plans... We are here to protect the Universe, not to destroy it... Peregrine has destroyed it enough already... You may now consider yourself as a friend of the Red Nation. Meet me at the Chamber of War if you have cleaned yourself up. If there is anyone you would like to see I'll give orders to escort them to you."

 

Pack Rat knods to ohGr and leaves the room.

When he enters the room, all men and women turn around and press their right-fist against their heart.

"Gentlemen, ladies... What word?"

"No respond on your message yet..."

"I wasnt exactly hoping for a reply... I just wanted to make sure that they know what they are doing because from the moment they cross our borders a long side of Peregrine, their lifes are forfeit..."

"My Lord what if they turn side with Peregrine?"

"Than it is our duty to protect and assist any people in despair..."

"Even Armiena... Who betrayed us..."

"No... By betraying us she showed she does not respect us nor the work we do...

When she has come back to sences she will flee to Slaiv- who will humble protect her. Slaiv- on the other hand hasnt betrayed us nor murdered any of our civilians. He will enjoy our protection untill he shoots one of us..."

"But we destroyed a whole fleet of him..."

"Yes... It were we who destroyed them... So it now is defenitly our duty to assist when he turns himself against Peregrine..."
