[b] Agusto, formerly known as C-752 [/b] The day broke with an overwhelming heat like always, and the moisture would only make matters simply delightful for the Restupi. They were tall and slender, with a pale and fragile look. Their intelligence would be seemingly unrivaled to other empires if they weren't so young. Agusto, their home. For thousands of years, they've developed from sticks and stones into nations. And if with nations followed their Cold War era, nuclear missiles not managing to release hell just yet. However, each nation was looking for something, something that would give them an edge on their rivals, making them and their allies stronger. They searched for the remnants of another civilization. The ones-that-lived-before them are a mystery. They held untold firepower and technology, something the Restupi nations would fight over endlessly for control. But the problems in getting these remnants were quite a handful. Natives, possibly the ones-that-lived-before, would guard massive territory, using only swords and bows. But when they would get their hands on much deadlier weapons, such as guns, they would be a much tougher enemy. They hid in the mountains, where large remnants of cities could be found. Another curiosity is that the mountains held a number of caves, or entrances into the unknown. What lay there could not be obtained by the Restupi, for the guardians of the mountains fought until the last man to keep the place theirs. This would continue for decades, and endless struggle for power amongst the Restupi, followed by a large resistance from the Guardians. And then one day, something peculiar happened. It was on a farm, deep outside a city, where a young boy played amongst the dilapidated fields of weeds and grass. Something caught his attention, however. It was something in the sky. Was it a plane? It didn't look like his nations' planes. Could this be a spy plane? An invasion? Then, it flew by, heading towards the city. Inside the city, news stations bussled in excitement. They've never covered a story of extra terrestrial life, the closest to that would be skirmishes with the natives in the mountains. The ship was heading towards a large park, nearby what seemed to be a capitol building. Restupi officials already dotted themselves across the place, awaiting the new creatures. The ship slowed down, descending into the park. A wall fell onto the grass, allowing a passage for the people inside to exit. That's exactly what they did, five men, two flanking on one side, two on the other, and one wearing a cotton vest, decorated top to bottom in medals. The four others flanking him wore some sort of armor, and each held a long rifle of sorts. The vested official pulled something out of his pockets and placed it onto his head. He spoke in his native tongue first. "Hello, Restupi" The leading Restupi could not understand him except for the "Restupi" part. He was taken back at that "How do you know us?" The alien followed then in Restupi tongue "Do not be afraid, we have watched over this planet for some time. We come in peace if peace allows itself to be heard by both parties. We are the Castu, and we are in search of something you may know of." The Castu pulled out a medallion, one of the symbols of Zonan, the Green Life. "Have you seen this anywhere?" he continued. The Restupi's eyes dialated, but he was quick to tone it down. It was obvious to the Castu that they did no of those origions, but would he be willing for them to know of it? To lose the edge that the Restupi may make on their foes? What if they take that technology as theirs, or even worse? "I'm afraid I haven't?" he followed. The Castu pulled out another Zonan symbol, and once again asked the same question. Like before the Restupi seemed amazed that these newcomers knew of this technology. Maybe the ones-that-lived-before truly had lived across the stars and galaxies. This time, the Restupi grew slightly pale, and choked out "no.." "Do not lie to us." The Castu said in a stern tone "If you know of this, you shall mention it." "May we ask why?" said the Restupi "It is a clue to our creation, our past, our history, and our culture" replieed the Castu. The Restupi sighed, before saying "We use the technology of whoever held those symbols to better ourselves. There do seem to be some natives in the regions that hold the remnants of those beings, and they are extremely aggressive. We wish to keep the technology and study the remnants for ourselves." "You have no use to" shouted the Castu "It enriches our cutlure!" he replied "Do not give me that bull, we know what you have done for decades. History repeats itself, don't you know? You abuse the technology and the natives to gain an edge on your neighbors!" "Wouldn't you? This technology is there, and if it allows us to survive a nuclear threat, or any threat for that matter, why wouldn't we take the oppurtunity to jump on it?" Ignoring the response, the Castu simply said "We wish to colonize this place, so we may share the cutlure and remnants of these people." "Bring this up with the rest of the world leaders, my friend." replied the Restupi "This is televised, other leaders are being mingled with as we speak." said the Castu "Like you, they are not willing. We will give you an ultimatum. Give up your home, and you may be spared to live under our rule. We treat those kinds of people well" "And if we don't?" "Then you shall face the consequences. This world shall be ours, one way or another." said the Castu. The four soldiers flanking the official raised their weapons at the Restupi, to which Restupi soldiers responded with their own armaments. "Get the hell out of here, we do not need a bigger sibling watching over us. My people would rather die then live with you swine" the Restupi scowled. At that moment, a Markham entered the atmosphere, walls detracting. Jets and bombers littered the air, moving in all directions and grouping with their squads. The Castu official and his soldiers rushed onto their transport ship, which littered the park with plasma bullets as it flew away. Land troops came next, with support from landsharks and Macros. Military bases saw a mass infections from Jayd bombers, who rendered their planes dysfunctional from concussion bombs. Macro's stormed neighborhoods and major cities, wasting hell onto buildings and allowing them to crumble. Once soldiers had rounded up and taken around a hundred thousand Restupi as prisoners, an Eliptic entered the major cities of the world, around 12 or so. They began glassing the skyscrapers and monuments to smithereens, allowing nothing to stand besides the rubble that followed. As the fighting and chaos ensued, the Restupi research centers near the ones-that-lived-before remnants were also taken by the Castu. Scientists were taken prisoner to gather research they knew of, while the data from files and computers also became of importance. Natives living in the mountains were somewhat undetermined on how to act. Most of them hid inside the large cave systems, while others simply watch the burning. The Castu army had been given orders on doing nothing to the Guardians for the time being, as many are uncertain on how to act towards them. Another world under their belt, and an insignificant number of losses. A well planned invasion, even if they were just a barely space-bound people. [hider=Worlds] 1 Homeworld, Castully 1 developed world, Daim- Another major capitalist center. Many casinos and entertainment on this world. It serves as nothing else but another culture center for Castully. 5 corporation worlds- All are used by corporations to gather resources and for farming. 8 conquered worlds- 6 of which were once Zonan controlled 3 Research centers- All did not have sentient life but still were once apart of the Zonanese Powers[/hider] [hider=Agusto Status] Prisoners are being accommodated to other corporation worlds for labor purposes. The Prophets believe it necessary to make contact with the Guardians, though it's uncertain on their plans. The attack was a big expense, and the fleet of 1 Markham, 15 Eliptics, and 10 Kalimas are being rested there until the time being.[/hider]
