Battle for Allium

Ooc:

This is.

Battle.

For.

Farmland- Allium.

Allium is a planet covered in water due to greenhouse effects melting the planets icecaps. Most factions now control snall Islands on Allium. Most factions tend to be hostile to eachother due to the lack of land, and factions frequently go to war over islands. Most factions are Human-like, though there are uncomfirmed reports of a underwater race. Technology is quite advanced, with Tanks being a standard supplement to combat forces and Aeriel forces greatly improved, sea forces are a must due to the large ammount of water on the planet.Most races are also improved infantry training. Hover tanks are mostly in prototype stages, and walkers are a secret kept by one faction, and attempts at reverse engineering have failed due to the legs not being stable enough to handle any standard weapon and after many expensive attempts at trying the decided to stop trying to reverse engineer "Walkers". Islands are very Valuable due to the little ammount of land on the planet. Most factions now employ chemicals which stop the greenhouse gases.

IC:

A small barrage of missiles crashed into the ground, scarring the war-torn island further.
A platoon of Treasal Tanks returned to formation and rumbled across the plains. Two Muspellian Dominance Walkers could be seen climbing over the cliff, one of them turned its legs slowly to face the coming platoon and fired its energy weapon at them, cleanly destroying two of the green tanks. A Treasal plane crashed into the ground, crashing into a friendly tank and thus destroying it. The walker scrambled slowly out of the way as the tanks fired their energy weapons at it, its two front legs fell to the floor. The redish walker glowed a bright scarlet then exploded violently, crushing two of the Warriors and five of the Grunts under it. The surviving Grunt reloaded his weapon and attached a new blade to his N45 Pulse rifle and fired it at a enemy Marine. It hit the marine in the chest and the Marine stumbled to the ground, the grunt walked over and stabbed the marine with the blade. The grunt signalled to a nearby Commando who ordered a bomber strike to destroy the hostile buildings. Three Victory Bombers swooped down and unleashed their Phoenix bombs on the hostile town, leaving only charred remains.

>> The Ocean, unkown coordinates.

> A large preditorial fish, about 10 meters in length, sucessfully snatched up a lesser fish, injesting it.
That large preditorial fish then found a two-foot-thick tentacle being wrapped around it. A blade as big as it reared into it's view, and a thin crab-like pincer crushed it's head.
The whole prosses took a little less then two seconds.
What was responsible for this small carnage was a harvester. It's long tentacles could relax to stretch miles out into the water, and this deep their prey often had trouble detecting them.
Then the semi-orgnic, more crustation-like limbs dragged the dead creature up to a small pincer-like 'door' - or mouth.
The thing opened slowly, and a fleshy tube slid out and took the fish head-first, sucking it into the rest of the 70-foot tall and, in some places, 30-foot wide shell above.
A few protective Kree'th-Li, the smallest of the Kree'th that were combat-worthy, circled or clung to the farming-and-hunting, absorbtion-and-research Kree'th, or to those who hated mouthfulls like that, the Harvester.


>> Deep-Ocean Kree'th city.
>> Chamber of the Kree'th Superintendent, the Kree'th-Ac.

Here, the Kree'th could survive without the semi-organic shells they had to use closer to the surface.
The Superintendent's huge crested head lowered to get a closer look at the Kree'th-An, the leader the Kree'th combat forces.
She'd changed slightly, Kree'th-Ac noted, it's large pincer-like mandibles stretching.
Kree'th-An's body spoke, movements of her tentacles and the neon-blue lights flashing down her back, just above her spine, through the clear gel-like layer coating her skin (as was the same for all Kree'th).
Kree'th-Ac, high one.<
>Speak, Kree'th-An, noble warrior.
Our first scout has managed to reach the surface. We have the armor perfected, but... there was a flaw.<
>Flaw, noble one?
There is what apprears to be another race, high one - the Kree'th-Zk, the one to reach the surface, we have named it's armor, has observed... they have machines that serve war, machines that can not only traverse the earth, but lift from the surface.<
>As the sky-fish we have seen of before, noble one?
Yes, high one. But of metal and of war. I fear they may see us as a foe.<
The Kree'th-Ac raised it's huge head.
>Ready you warriors, noble one. If this is so, go forth without fear. No-soul has crushed the Kree'th before, and none ever shall, as long as I live. Upgrade what you must, do what you must.
We have a Harvester prepared to surface, we hope it will adapt swiftly... though it may take some time to adapt to the differing pressures of the above. I shall return good tidings to the Kree'th, even if it ends me.<


>> Specialized Harvester, nearing surface.

The large Kree'th swallowed it's fears, feeling the warmth around it even through the thick armor, blinded by the light. The oddness of the surface.
The shore. It reached out it's pincer and stroked the sand.

- Tatl -

The Oceatal ship moved towards the beach flanked by five fighter squadrons.
Two of their landing craft waded through the ocean and reached the beach. They unloaded a large group of Pulsar light tanks onto the Island.
"Raven, a Mupellian Missile Submarine is docked somewhere on the island, if it is not destroyed it can attack any of our islands without warning" The general informed the Flight leader.
"Mupellian Landers on approach, five fighters are escorting them, two landers, airbourne units, Reaper class" The flight Operator said.
"The Submarine is leaving docks, the Mupellians know what we're up to, its submerging!"
The Submarine fired four missiles which crashed into the Oceatal tanks, destroying them, before submerging under the blueish waters.
The Mupellian fighters engaged the Oceatal fighters but the did not fare well as they had ran out of Missile ammunition defending against a Calak attack and were forced to use their Pulsers. The fight nine were shot down and crashed into the ground, each scarring the landscape which they hammered into.
The tenth sent a encrypted transmission.
"Attempting to deencrypt it."
The tenth fighter was shot down and its fiery husk flew into the ocean's inky depths.
"I've managed to deencrypt one word, it said 'Carver'"
"So, you managed to get your 'fighters' airbourne Taita, how very clever of you" A transmission came suddenly...

>> Specialized Harvester, surface, Tatl.

The Harvester lit up with an alarmed blue light. The Kree'th-Li near it watched with unblinking, orange eyes.
>A land-goer's fish-ship? The Harvester asked, looking at the Sub.
A Kree'th-Li clung next to the Harvester's eye.
It appears that may be the case. They seek to destroy eachother?<
Kree'th-An rose up beside them, like a large squid.
We should stay out of their way. Remember this battle, Harvester. We must tell the Kree'th-Ac of this.<
The Kree'th-An then dove and drifted under the Sub, onberving it with her large cyan eyes. Her pupils widened as she heard and explosion.

- Tatl -
The Submarine suddenly shot up and emerged. It opened its twelve missile bays and launched Twelve missiles before submerging slowly again and closing the missile bays.
The missiles shot up into the air and then flew into the Oceatals Capital ship.
The ship split into two halfs and sunk down into the sea, it crashed into a coral reef.
"Retreat" The general orders, his escape pod being picked up by a transport.
"This was your worst performance yet Raven, you'll have to make your own way home"
The 'Carver' fired two Redish, small missiles which hit Ravens fighter, the fighter flew into crashed into the sea and then into what was the Capital Ship - The enforcer.

>> Specialized Harvester, surface, Tatl.

The Harvester looked at the Kree'th-Li next to it's eye with alarm.
>Maybe, we should go a little deeper? Stay clear of land-goer weapons? It asked, patting the Harvester with it's blade-arm.
It wouldn't make much difference, this armor makes me even slower than before.< The huge Kree'th said, it's eyes dropping down sadly.

The Kree'th-An slowly rose to examine the material of the Sub. Now, she decided, would be a good time to test their cloaking technology, created by the Kree'th-Si - the scientists of the Kree'th.
She raised a blade arm and curled her tentacles, moving inside the armor to activate the device.
The Harvester and it's Kree'th-Li friend made an audiable sound of dismay when the device failed. The Kree'th-An flashed red and struggled to take it off her armor.
She wrapped two tentacles around the small oval and hooked one of her bladed arms under it, flicking it away.
The oval floated for about five seconds, then tapped the surface of the Sub and exploded.

- Ocean -

The explosion didn't even dent the black and red plating.

- Inside the belly of the beas- Submarine's Bridge -

The captain felt a small shockwave. He steered the Submarine quickly forward, suspecting it was another Curious Talaxaria Sharika.

- Ocean, on the Submarine -

A pod was released and it exploded, a Arachnodrone, a tiny walker which thin legs that could hold onto virtually anything, latched itself on the hull and crawled to the bottom of the Submarine, it noticed the strange fish-things and fired a red lazer at it.

>> Ocean, Sub/Harvester.

An unsuspecting Kree'th-Li was hit right at it's weak point; it's mouth.
The laser bit into the creature and punched a hold in it's armor. The rest of it's carapace splintered and fractured, and a blueish ooze squeezed out of the damaged areas.
The Kree'th-Li made an unusualy squealing noise, then curles up like a prawn.
The Harvester made a groaning noise, then the Kree'th's gathering fell slilent, without any gestures of light-signs.
A green light suddenly showed on the Harvester.
The other Kree'th twitched in approval.
"Angered the Kree'th. You shed a brother's blood. For that, you die."
Then the surface of the Harvester's armor changed, some section folding in, or out, to show odd holes.
From these holes, two-meter long spines were fired.
The huge Kree'th also raised it's bladed arm and clawed arm, as well asl it's two barbed tentales. The others contraced to a wdier, but shorter, position to defend the few Kree'th-Si who were also there.
The Kree'th-An flashed red and dove, hoping to reach the city below in time.
Back with the Harvester, the Kree'th-Li around it swarmed the laser-firing thing that had killed their brother.

- Ocean -

The Arachnodrone floated in the water, the robot then made a horrible screeching noise, and then unleashed all its fuel and exploded, turning the waters inky black.
The Submarine unleashed seven Arachnodrone pods and then went up to the surface. It moved slowly to the east.
The inky black disappeared and seven more Arachnodrones where behind it. They attached to eachother to form a giant spider like robot.
All the Arachnodrones concentrated their lazers and a Lazer beam was fired at the Fish-Creatures.

>> Ocean.

Twenty Kree'th-Li and five Kree'th-Ma, larger and stronger with ranged spine-weapons, had fallen to this machine.
Then, all at once,they fell back to the harvester.
Before the machine could react, something else rose in their place from below.
A Kree'th-By and seven Kree'th-Aq.
The Kree'th-By, a ten-foot long monster with fully barbed tentacles that could tear metal, glarged at the metal creature with red eyes.
The Kree'th Aq, who seemed to onle have there spine-spitting holes, fired on the machine.

- Ocean -

The Arachnodrones split apart.
The middle Arachnodrone was destroyed, the rest moved quickly towards the creature.
Once they got close enough to the creatures, they glew red and then self-destructed.

- Saerus -

The Missile Submarine emerged and fired its Missiles at the Oceatal cities on the Island.

>> Ocean

The Kree'th-By seemed to glow for a moment, but didn't crumple or implode.
The Kree'th-Aq, who had been floating around the Kree'th-By, moved away slightly. The glowing stopped.
Two of them had died, but the Kree'th-An supposed that was better than all of them.

- Natalius, Home Island of the Mupellia -

Three Landers rose into the sky. They flew to the east, carrying the nessecary supplies to create an outpost.
A platoon of Grunts marched into another lander, a Commando got into the Infantry Lander and then it lifted and headed north. Two other landers engines fired and rose, and followed the Thunder Infantry lander.
The Sil'fir Warrior flew over them, the Pilot inspecting the forces.

>> Ocean.

Now, five specialised Harvesters had gathered.
A huge swarm of all sorts of Kree'th filled the water.
The Kree'th-Si were already analysing the land and the land-goers weapons. They belived their current armor would support them there, and if the Kree'th wished to fight this new foe, they would need to take the fight to them.

- Natalius, Imperial Palace -

The generals were gathered around a table.
"Talant, take your remaining landers to capture the island the submarine is finishing off" The Prince said.
"This meeting is finished, you are dismissed"
The prince walked out leaving the Generals to rush to their Landers.
Prince Zalash wandered the Palace, thinking.
He saw the Sil'fir Warrior land in the Gardens,

>> Tatl.

The Kree'th-An stood on the sand, along with two Kree'th-Si.
They glowed exitedly.
>See, noble one? the light isn't so bad. no infections so far. All seems to be going well.
The Kree'th-An twitched an arm. Her limbs felt odd, being used to stand on, and already the high ones were planning to take this island and 'form it to their image'. She knew this meant to mine it out and give it an organic shell.a decent shield, but it did make them obvious.

- Tatl -

The Mupellian satelite flew into the atmosphere, leaving a trail of fire behind it.
The two Mupellian Landers rose into the sky and flew off with the Mupellian Tanks.

- Natalius -

A factory creating the new Heavy Void Tanks had been put in operation.
The Void tanks were droven into a Lander. A group of Mupellians then put Mobile Turrets into the same lander. The a Platoon of Warriors followed. The landers door closed. It rose and headed towards Tatl.

>> Tatl.

The specialised, and now upraded to ground-walker, Harvester climbed up the beack with little difficulty.
They found a suitable hill and the repurposed Kree'th 'sat'. It set it's limbs of the hillside and secured them.
The Kree'th-Si's plan was to use it to create the shell. All the Harvesters had been willing, but they belived this one had the best chance.

- Tatl -

A Mupellia Radio Intercepter had been left, it was near the the hill.
Words spoken in Common came out.
"We need to take this Island from the Mupellia Quickly, reports indicate the Múspellsheimr itself is en route"
"Mupellian Fighters inbound, protect the Marshall" It cackled.
A blue ship came near to the Island, blue, thin fighters engaged the Star-shaped fighter with the red colour scheme associated with the Mupellian Army.
Many of the fighters fell to the earth.
"Mupellian Bombers on approach, there going for the Marshall"
Another voice crackled on the listener, "Raven, destroy those bombers"

>> Tatl.

The Kree'th-An turned and looked up.
She grabbed the Kree'th-Si sitting next to her.
>Can you raise the shields? She flahsed.
But... yes, they will be weaker than-<
>Do it now.
The confused scientist twitched a tentacle then returned to the Harvester-building.
A short time later a pale shield, like a sort of membrane, rose on finger-like legs, soon encasing the Harvester and the hill like a cocoon.

An old naval warfare ship floated by, powered rather meekly by the large turbines attached to the back.

On-board were a crew of 30, nothing compared to the 300 spaces it was designed for back in the day. Over half of the crew were mainly engineers. Several of them were below deck, maintaining the rusty engines.

"We need more fuel sir" A youngling complained. Requited only a few weeks ago this child appeared to prodigy. If he was born a few generations before the downfall of the planet he would have had the best education money could buy. But as fact had it - he wasn't. However he was quickly sapping up the few tibits of information the other more experienced engineers held.

A sea hardened sailor answered his cries. "You want to know what I know Steve?"

- Tatl -

"Incoming Mupellian Warship, Natashara Class its six main guns could tear the marshall apart, over"
"Raven, you heard him, take out those Cannons" The General said.
Ravens fighter-bomber turned swiftly and headed towards the battleship.
"Lock, "
Bullets flew at his ship from nothingness before a new kind of ship appeared.
"Under attack, they have some kind of cloaking device, over"
"Copy that Raven, Squadron Beta, target that fighter"
Five missiles flew into the first cannon, destroying it.
A bullet from the Vil'fil Fighter hit one of Ravens wings.
Raven's ship twisted into a spiral. The Vil'fil disappeared.
"The Natashara Warship has turned tail, good work Raven"
"Sir, multiple flying contacts detected, Landers and fighter escorts."
"Our own land forces have touched down, so let them deal with the landers, take out the escorts."
The Oceatal fighters moved into a spearhead formation and fired their Pulsars at the fighter escorts.
The landers landed on the Island, and started to deploy the Heavy tanks and Infantry.

Ooc: Database time!

>> Tatl

Kree'th-An watched the land-goers.
>Gah. More heavy weapons? So be it. Kree'th-Si, summon our Kree'th-Li Wraith variants. Time to see if your cloaking will work given a second chance. And long-range units. We must defent this island. It will be ours!

- Tatl -
"The Múspellsheimr has arrived, that thing is huge!"
"Its main gun alone could wipe out a small city, do something Raven!"
The giant flying ship stayed in reserve. But it released many fighter squadrons of its own and it fired its many machine guns at the hostile aircraft.

The heavy Void Tanks fired shells into the hostile light tanks.
Many of the Oceatals tanks were destroyed.
The ground forces were nowhere near the hill.

>> Tatl

The Kree'th-An flopped slightly.
>Make sure they don't get close to our high-land. I am going to speak with our Harvester. She told the Kree'th-Ma beside her.
It twitched a tentacle.

The Harvester had already hollowed out much of the hill, and they were preparing to fill the oddly organic hole with water. The Kree'th-An was glad, she wasn't used to this air. It wasn't used to their presence yet.
