Encryption turned to look at the officers gold optics boring into them before lifting his sound cannons. The noise was like feedback at first loud and high pitched before it dropped low till it seemed like no sound was coming from them at all but, that wasn't the truth. In truth it was just too low for them to hear it but that didn't stop them being effected by it. As the "lack" of sound started to give the team a bounding headache and do likely even worse damage if continued to be exposed.
"Encryption superior organics inferior," Encryption droned out deciding to steal a line from the Marshall of Intelligence.

Most of the officers drop their weapons and cover their ears in pain, but one manages to raise a taser and fire, hitting Encryption in the center of his chest.

Ardaric didn't say anything but just turned around again to return to his duties.
Adaric and several people prepared themselves then began the procedure. The long progress of draining the sick individual of their own blood, replacing it with the blood of the elder ones. Though asleep the sick individual began to look much better and sound better. Her coughing replaced by calm breathing, her pale skin returning to its regular colour.

Clovis remained rather shaken for days but began to snap out of it, between having to help the militia against bandit raids he also started to work on something new. A martial art based on the use of a melee weapon and a sidearm. As it evolved it seemed more like a dance, especially if the opponent was also using the same techniques.
It was only a month or two later that Ardaric was beginning to be called 'Pontiff' or 'Father' by the people of the village and other nearby areas, they revered him and loved him for the healing he brought. Due to the widespread violence around the area and desire for order Ardaric allowed Clovis to begin a fighting organization, the Ordo Venatorii. They were fanatics who fought in Clovis' martial art, their speed and strength enhanced by the blood ministration.

But as Ardaric uplifted Clovis he did so with his other friends, Elena being discovered to be able to produce the blood of the elder gods after only one transfusion and so she became the first of the Blood Saints and that church of theirs taking on her name. Armin remained only a bodyguard to Ardaric, appearing more sickly as time went on all while growing larger, more aggressive and cruel.. until Ardaric locked him in a set of alloyed armour to prevent people from being too frightened around him. Marika was given the title 'Vicar', effectively becoming second to him. Constanta though... he bestowed sainthood upon her as well as officiating her as an apostle. He treasured her as an advisor and she was de facto the third most powerful person in the church other than Clovis and Ardaric.

But this hell went on for years. And more years. Constanta saw Ardaric become consumed by his lust for power, his ambition to be the one to cause humanity to transcend. She saw Marika leave for an expedition and to never be seen again, Elena remained in her little church, content to be away from the more politicized greater Church. She saw Clovis become nothing more than a killing machine, slaughtering enemies of Ardaric and the beasts that his 'medicine' created.

Ardaric was joined by warlords as he took Budapest and moved his operations there.. then decades later the Gems came and all the good and evil she and her friends have done seemed to not matter anymore as Ardaric summoned the Imperial Habsburgs, warlords and others to reorganize the Danubian Empire. Two years would pass however before any meaningful resistance against the Gems would take place... the Battle of Budapest.

The skies were dark and two Gem ships hung overhead laying down fire on the city and military positions, powerful Danubian orbital guns firing off into the skies but barely making a scratch. Jets engagded in dogfights with Gem fighters. It was chaos. Even inside the city though all the leaders were there to reinforce the first wave of Danubian troops that went into the city under the command of General Vir, a legendary warlord that was one of the first to declare his Allegiance to Ardaric.

Ardaric and Clovis stood on either side of Constanta in one of many trenches located in Gellért-hegy Jubileumi park. Ardaric looked as good as ever minus a few white hairs to his head. Even in this war he wore his clergy clothing adorned with gold. Clovis however.. he has had little time to take care of himself, his hair long and his face with a light stubble. Clovis had made an upgrade to his equipment since the early days, he had an experimental power armour, bulky but it made his height larger, his speed greater and of course it came with energy shielding. On his left wrist was an arm cannon yet he still held a heavy machine gun and in his right hand was a sword, an artifact from one of the many tombs the church and the earlier school had explored, such as the place Constanta woke up in.
Ardaric looked at his pocket watch as he peaked over the trench, machine gun fire audible all around them.
"Where is it?", Ardadic muttered to himself.
"He might of gotten hit out of the sky? We're relying on luck here.", Clovis then remarked.
A soldier then ran up with nothing but a G3 rifle, a trenchcoat and a helmet.
"Sires! The titan is approaching!"
Ardaric turned around, awe on his face.
"Hahaha!", he began to clap.
Clovis then sighed before looking at Constanta... she hadn't aged a day... he had an idea of what she was, something undead.. maybe something else. He didn't have the heart to officially denounce her.
"Lets save our city yea?", he put a hand on her shoulder as dozens of flares shot up from the trenches.

The thing Ardaric was excited about though.. it wasn't normal, a squadron of aircraft proceeded to drop a mech the size of the Empire state building yet maybe even bigger just behind the trenches as it stepped the earth shook and a warhorn blared from it. Massive artillery pieces fired from across its body as its arms shot off even larger weapons. It's left arm had a cannon that was rumored to fire off something akin to a nuclear bomb.. this thing, they called it Aurelian.

The soldiers in the trenches fixed their bayonets and began to walk out of the trenches and slowly speed up into a sprint towards Erzsébet Bridge to secure the area from the defending Gems.
Clovis climbed out of the trench and extended his hand to Constanta as Aurelian stepped over them dropping mud and debris around them.
"We should find a way to link up with the first wave in the other half of the city. I'm sure the bridge crawler is still in operation.", Clovis

-
As the jacket came off he was left shirtless, his skin covered in old scars, some bullet holes and others cuts. He gave a sigh of relief and stretched.
"I can help you with.. whatever you're doing. I don't exactly have anywhere to go.", Amon said beginning to follow Adrian.
"Scratch that thought for a moment.", he smirked before walking off elsewhere. As Adrian walked on he heard buzzes, many of them as the cells began to open slowly as he passed them.. chaos began to ensue as inmates began to leave their cells, as did terrible monsters, some seeming like werewolves, others with leathery skin and octopus like faces, others seemed snakish.. others were simply blobs on the floor with their former bones moving around with them.
Amon ran up behind Adrian, adjusting his left bracer of a set of armour he was now wearing minus the helmet. The set is silver with red long tassets bearing the coat of arms of House Ba'al, two golden addorsed lions rampart. The bevor had a toothy grin on it and under it also has a white cravat with a red brooch in it on the chestplate and a red cape over his shoulders and back. At his belt is a sword, the blade shattered and mostly gone, not good for anything but a knife at this point, on the other side is a pistol with engravings and a long barrel. the helm of the armour is attached to his belt on the backside. It resembles a Burgonet though heavily ridged with designs.
"I'm back my dear new friend.", he smiled as guards, now out in force were killing inmates behind him, and they themselves also getting killed by the inmates. Alarms blared as a voice came over the speakers.
ATTENTION PRISONER #010 HAS ESCAPED CONFINEMENT. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. ATTENTION CODE RED IS IN EFFECT. FIRE TO KILL. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. ATTENTION PATIENT ESCAPE ATTEMPT IS IN PROGRESS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
The announcements went on as if the AI was being overwhelmed by the amount of problems.

As he opened the set of doors with the keycard scientists and doctors were rushing around in a panic. Everyone stepped out of the way of Adrian and Amon, most collapsing to their knees in terror at the sight of Amon, holding up their hands and unable to speak. Finally Adrian had reached what he was looking for... windows looked out towards what was two metal pillars with thick tubes entering them from the walls. Between them was a storm of energy, the colour changing every few seconds. Within that energy one could swear they could see things, figures and creatures they couldn't describe.
Three scientists were fiddling around with devices in front of the glass, pressing buttons and turning knobs.
"Lowering intensity to 50%.", one of them said.
"Can we hurry this up? The patients could get in here any minute and we're dead!.", another spoke.
The first one who spoke sighed.
"If we just leave it Vienna will be destroyed."
"And the Eye of Sol? We're just going to leave it here?"
The conversation went on about nonsense.

All Adrian had to do now was destroy it all.

Amon looked at Adrian as he took out his pistol, aiming it at one of the scientists. Waiting for him to confirm if he should.

It felt strange living through the Gem war for a second time. It was stranger still was the thought that somewhere back in her homeland a teenager was currently dodging danger and death by hiding in bombed out ruins of buildings and, scraping by off scraps and the good will of soldiers who found her. She did know one thing though some of her compatriots where picking up on her agelessness weather they knew what she was she couldn't guess except for maybe Clovis; he seemed to give this look at times when no one was looking as if to say he half guessed what she was. Which then begged the question why he didn't do anything about act on his suspicions?

"Let's give em hell for all of this," Constanta said as they started going over the top and marching into the teeth of the enemy's defenses.

"we my ward and I were guests of the Pontif. My ward ever the curious young woman went exploring and evidently found something she shouldn't.

So here I am playing earned boy to him to destroy this rift as he put it," Adrian said as the two walked to the door and soon into the room.

At hearing the talk of the two inside the room it made little scenes to Adrian. At seeing Amon lift his gun and look to him inquiring if he should indeed shoot. Adrian merely nodded his acquiescence to Amon. It was time to end this all.

EUROPEAN FOREIGN MINISTRY: DESCHAMPS ON THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE LEVANT
STRASBOURG, SEPTEMBER 2061

_{| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | As Europe leans ever closer to its partners across the English Channel and towards the Ural Mountains, the government of Le Gros Vainqueur continues with business as usual. Despite the seeming normality of European state of affairs, President Deschamps' foreign ministry's preoccupation with the state of the Middle East has heads turn, particularly those amongst the opposition parties of the European Parliament.}

_{Deschamps has agreed several key points in what has been described as the 'Letter to the Levant' with his Cabinet, which has declared that the existence of a Palestinian state a prerequisite to any diplomatic ties with Levantine countries. "I have made it clear to my counterparts in Leithania and Britannia that, as much as we accept the existence of the historic boundaries of European states, as must the Levant accept the historic and cultural boundaries of Palestine and the Palestinian people," Deschamps said with a scorn in a press conference, "The days of ancient Sectarian violence and expansionism should be forever behind us, and Europe will do whatever it takes to protect the mandate of freedom, equality and fraternity in the Middle East." For its part, "Europe will accept no changes of borders which have occurred through illegal, unjustified military action."}

_{Such diatribes met with a predictable and prompt response. The semiofficial newspaper of the centre-right European People's Party, Le Gardian, decried Deschamp's "thin end of a very loose wedge" to "transform Europe into a international police force". The far-right Identity and Democracy went even further as to demand that Deschamps either "declare a snap election" or "support Israel against interventionist politics". "All eyes are now on Europe" declared the public broadcaster EBU with ecstasy, however the sight of a fairly short politician quietly rehearsing his lines prior a press conference before trying to force himself into a position of leverage only made material for cartoonists' gibes. Despite the mixed feelings amongst the press and corridors of Strasbourg Parliament House, the mood on the streets of Europe is that of relief, particularly amongst the young. They see it as "about time", to quote one interviewee, that Europe take a harder line on international affairs involving "rights, human rights, and xenos rights".}

_{No matter the public opinion, Deschamps cynicism infuriated the integralist European politician, leader of ID, Marco Bellini, who is steadfastly in favour of Israel, "the Holy Land". And he expressed his anger in a fiery speech to the European Parliament. Deschamps was even accused of "an acute attack of visceral anti-Americanism, megalomania, soliciting of Arab and Muslim sentiments, and sabotage of independent Middle Eastern Affairs." Such a declaration received a mixture of heckles and cheers from Parliament house. |}

Well hopefully I can say this year is looking to be more active than the last. Just from going off of the posts getting put up.

I hope so too, Sylvania. Once my submissions are in order I’ll do what I can to write some awesome narratives for us to play off of!

Oh by the way, I’ll be joining the Discord pretty soon under an alt account.

Today, top leaders of the Israeli Government met to discuss the current security situation of the nation, and possible actions to take

One of the first things discussed was the Contract Wars in Syria, with over 300,000 Citizens having been displaced and many more killed while caught between the conflict, The fighting was also interfering with IDF operations within the country with a recent attack on a company of Israeli soldiers in Syria making regular sweeps in the area surrounding the Israeli border. However, the decision was made to continue staying out of it, this being due to the fact that previous attempts at IDF interference resulted in great loss of life, IDF troops would keep making sweeps for militia and PMC activity everwhere within 15 miles of the border.

The second issue brought up was the situation in the occupied zones, the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Gaza was plagued by constant terror attacks from groups based out of Jordan, The solution was almost unanimious that covert Special Forces operations would be a good solution. The West Bank situation was more complex, citizens there had a much more hostile view towards IDF and often harbored Militia or terrorist cells. Riots were common in the area and there was a concern that increased IDF presence would make things worse. It was agreed that funding for police in the Bank would be increased and Police would handle it, and IDF would intefere if needed.

The third and most troubling issue came from recent discussions in Europe. Officials were split between the decision to keep occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip, or to leave. However they are still debating on a third decision, to pull out combat troops and do what they had agreed to do in West bank, for a Police force in Gaza.

Mochizuki class mech trudge through the landscape as it lit up with plasma fire coming in from the front line. The Mochizuki was a sub class of the old Takada class both built for speed but, where the Takada was a glass cannon the Mochizuki was more a skrimishing type of weapons system. Sure it could fight with an enemy directly but not as well as a Oda or Date class mech.

The pilot soon found a spot and hunkered down as bracing clamps deployed from the mechs legs. The sniper rifle the mech held looked more like most of it would be right at home as part of a secondary gun battery on a naval ship. With an all mighty boom and the recoil digging the bracers a few inches into the soil the gun fired. Off in the distance the pilot saw the flare of light indedicating a confirmed hit. Over the radio the pilot heard from a squad that an enemy MT had just been hit.

"M 277 this is Ashigaru unit 555321 designated Fives enemy Giant leading shock troops on units postion requesting fire support from platform M 277," came a droning computerized voice.

"Understood Fives repositioning ETA 2," the pilot said as GPS located Fives location and started to paint targets for the mech.

"Let's show them Kuchisake. Ready air burst rounds set fuse timer," the pilot was interrupted as a warning light up their H.U.D. the pilot turned the mech in time to see a full rod salvo too close as a wing of Banshee's banked off. The screen of the pilots H.U.D went red as they rounds impacted and the mech shook.

Student 89 Mech Kuchisake is K.I.A simulation for student terminated. Please exit training capsule.

With a sigh the pilot exited the capsule to see the rest of his class all standing and watching those who hadn't yet been KIA in the sim. The pilot soon joined the rest of them watching as the rest of the simulation played out.

"How interesting. It is always nice meeting bright minds from Leithania's great neighbors." She stepped over to one of the other chairs in the room with a rather eerily quiet and elegant gait. Despite her mother's premature death at the hands of Afghan terrorists, the etiquette she learned from the woman hadn't waned at all. As she sat down, she blinked a few times before speaking again, "Apologies for the noise outside. The Commonwealth Forces are practicing for the parade later today. It is the anniversary of our victory with the Gems here at home."

Leitha rather quickly moved on to business, "So what is the real reason you came to our holy city? Your message left me quite curious." She leaned back in the chair and crossed her legs, of which were more obviously digitigrade than when they were more well hidden by the dress, somewhat signaling, as Arthur already knew, that she wasn't Human.

"Oh that's quite alright, they're familiar sounds for me, I'd be more worried about our dear Professor here." Arthur said in reply, "Then we wish them luck--we're doing something similar back home soon enough."

As Arthur prepared to get straight to the point, Shaw made subtle notice of Leitha's appearance, he'd seen many different sentient species in his time, including numerous aliens, but not like Leitha. "I'd hoped it would," Arthur said, exhaling. "Simply put, a significant discovery was made by a team of highly trained experts, one of them hailing from Ukraine, as I understand it," he said, looking briefly at Shaw for confirmation, which Shaw provided, "originally it appeared to be in the field of archaeology, but as things proceeded, it's become clear it is in fact a study in xenoarchaeology. On Earth. It would appear there were some form of Alien life on Earth before even the native species of Earth developed. The team pursued the findings and concluded that whatever it is has some sort of connection with another celestial object, an ice world, however it's position happens to lie within your realm. That's why we're here, to ask you for access to the world."

(It's ok, I didn't plan on being absent for 11 days at a time ;-;. And tbf I kept changing the title haha)

Several squads joined with them, all young and fresh faced, another generation born to die in ceaseless violence.. the group moved down to road by the Danube there a dozen bodies or more laid dead, human and Gem alike. The bridge crawler half blown apart but still holding up. Chunks of flesh and blood blanketed it as the metal reflected the fading moonlight. Overhead several helicopters flew over being pursued by Gem light aircraft. In the distance the warhorn of Aurelian sounded then sounds of explosions, it felt like the sun had come out for a moment before fading with an old skyscraper collapsing in the distance.
Clovis was breathing heavy, nervous and full of adrenaline but not scared, the other soldiers though... terrified.

After crossing the river the group moved on a bit more until reaching some defensive positions, a bunker made of wood, sheet metal and sandbags with other minor fortifications along the street and buildings. Around them there was at least 50 troops firing off into the distance at Gems moving in on their position.
"Men get into cover and lay down suppressive fire!", Clovis directed the troops they brought along. Gems were getting close enough to start climbing the barricades though not reaching further due to bayonets smashing through them.
General Vir was present as well smashing the the head of a Gem officer with a hammer. Vir looked like a force of nature, a giant of a man with ornate golden polymer steel alloyed armour, true plates of armour unlike Clovis' powered set. His helmet has a mane of red coming from it.
"I'm glad you churchgoers have decided to join us! These alien bastards stopped my advance unfortunately.. truly a shame- heads down!", Vir then shouted running to the entrance of the bunker for some cover. Clovis meanwhile jumped in front of Constanta.
A Gem gunship moved from their lines towards the Danubians, firing off its main turret before firing several rockets. Constanta could see Clovis' shielding glow up when struck going from a light blue, to a dark blue, to a yellow then finally red. Then a soldier nearby crouched with a rocket launcher in his arms, firing at the gunship before being shot down. Yells and screams were heard from everywhere with wounded piling up.
Vir crawled out from the collapsing 'bunker' grabbing a gas mask from a corpse as well as a walkie-talkie.
"This is Red Eagle actual to FOCOM requesting mist air mission on grid Kilo-Echo one five."

"FOCOM TO RED EAGLE ALL AIR ASSETS ARE OCCUPIED AT THIS TIME. FOCOM IS UNDER ATTACK."

"Damn it! Fix your f*cking bayonets! On me! These alien f*cks will only get one thing from us, and that will be death! We will shatter every single god damn last one of them and turn them into f*cking pieces of jewelry!", Vir called out, sticking a cigar in his mouth and raising hammering while approaching the barricade.
"Let it be known today is the day the Gems will know defeat by the flowing waters of the Danube! Let it be known we the once divided fall united as one! We will choke them with our fallen! We will break them with our bayonets and we will salt them with our treads! For the Emperor! For the Danube! For humanity!"

Clovis looked around at the troops rushing to join the general then at Constanta.
"Come on you apes, wanna live forever?", Clovis called out to the troops with a cheeky smile, looking at Consfanta as he did, of course referencing an old almost forgotten movie he had seen as a kid as he readied his sword and his gun. As he said this the Gem ship overhead fired off its complement towards downtown and some at the titan who Constanta could barely make out over the skyline rampaging throughout the city presumably with a small force behind it.

-
"'What you are', what is that suppose to mean? Are you a homosexual or something?", he joked with a sly smirk.
"But the "Pontiff" you say.. the man is a demon if there ever was one.", he'd say with his face turning sour.
"He killed everyone I've ever loved.. an entire noble line. The man who blackmailed you though? He must hate him too.. this facility is ran by the church. And judging by the fact he didn't come down here himself says a lot. Security hasn't been anything notable for the last 6 years."

In the control room Amon stared at the scientists seemingly having a difficulty on the matter.. he changed his aim several times, he was deciding on who to shoot first. Once he settled on it he pulled the trigger.. nothing happened.
"Oh.", he simply said, looking down the barrel.

"Who the f-", one of the scientists tried to speak.
"Sorry it was just the safety.", Amon spoke over the scientist then firing the pistol through his head, then at another only leaving one, cowering on the floor in his own pee, fearful.
"Consider yourself lucky pencil neck. How do we destroy the rift?", Amon proceeded to ask.
"Destroy it?", the scientist then proceeded to nervously laugh.
"You can't. We're trying to close it but we have to wait for the eye of sol-"

"The eye of sol?", Amon looked intrigued, turning his head to Adrian.
"The eye. Your little friend must want it. What a fool."

The scientist proceeded to stand from his puddle, trying to sneak off.

(Tis ok, I changed it a few times since beginning and I of course take 11 days to respond on average ;-; I didn't mean to torture you for so long)
