[h2]A New Partnership[/h2] [@BirdofParadise] On the next day, all the state-run medias of Revital Whampoa begun celebrating their newfound relations with the Aranorian Confederacy. Similiar scenes from the Aranorian media were depicted -- officials from both countries shaking hands and smiling, stock markets rising greatly, and so on. Such a high-profile, cross-planet diplomacy would not have gone unnoticed, of course. Words of this has spreaded far and wide across both planets, and this has aroused great attention from Pherith and Royalist Whampoa... [hider=Summary of What's Next]Owing to the One-Whampoa policy, Royalist Whampoa announced cutting off any diplomatic recognition with the Aranorian Confederacy. The Royalist Whampoa expressed its great sadness and anger over Revital-Aranor relations. Berthold, the Royalist [i]Mahakaisar[/i], had also derided the Aranorian Confederacy as a bunch of faithless republicans that disregard any loyalty and blindly worship "the new Napoleon" (Tschow Konrad of Revital Whampoa). In an attempt for lobbying, two of the biggest Entente Powers -- Peiyang and India -- also approached the Aranorian Confederacy for diplomacy and trade. This happened under the orders of Emperor Yuan Jinping and President Asaram. The Empire of Pherith said much less, but still said something. Pherith voiced its disappointment over the Aranorian Confederacy's "bad" choice, then announced more military aid for Lanceline, Articia and Royalist Whampoa. Pherith and Royalist Whampoa have also invited Lanceline and Articia to the Central Powers to resist the Aranorian regime. Four fleets of skyships and six fleets of seaships -- [b]with plenty of anti-air weaponries[/b] -- were dispatched to cover Lanceline and Articia. Each Elias country will receive two fleets of air force and three fleets of navy.[/hider] [h2]Shady Wooers[/h2] [@BirdofParadise] Not long after news of Revital-Aranorian partnership spreaded far and wide, two other bands of otherworldly ambassadors soon made their way to Aranor. One of the band, consisting of lighter skinned Chinese men in fancy brown uniforms, approached the Aranorian government. "Greetingsg, Aranorians. We are representatives from the State of Peiyang, and on the behalf of our Emperor Yuan Jinping and our nation, we sincerely ask for diplomatic relations and trade ties be established between two of our nations." The other band, consisting of darker skinned Indians in majestic uniforms, also followed the Peiyangese. "A very good day to Aranor from India. We are ambassadors from the Republic of India, and we ask if the Aranor Confederacy is interested for diplomacy." [h2]Awakening of the Eagle[/h2] *** Fanixburg, Empire of Pherith *** A youthful man was trekking along the hallway shone by the sunlight, together with two lovely ladies hugging his arms. He was dressed in a royal battlesuit, painted beautifully in elegant tints and shades of green. He turned into the huge window and stared at the golden skies. One of his ladies is an alluring elf, and the other one is a white serpentine gorgon. "Ahh, the filthy Nazis of Aranor are finally up for a game." the youthful man sighed. "Don't worry, my Tikiyachod... all will be fine and well... You are the great handsome ruler of an awesome empire. And you have us two loving ladies as well!" the serpentine gorgon comforted Tikiyachod with her soft words. "Ahhhh......" "Where is my true love...... Elisha, where are you?" Tikiyachod promptly got slapped by both of the ladies, "Hey! Why do you keep on thinking about that lass? It has already been centuries ago, little Cakey!" "But I... I still hold a special place for her within my heart--" A snake bit Tikiyachod fiercely on his face. It was one of the serpentine gorgon's hair snakes. "Uhh... but well... I was reminded of h-her... and the academy... the happenings and shits in ages past..." "Why do you keep thinking about her after many hundreds of years? What have we done wrong?" the elven lady cried in jealousy. Tikiyachod shot a look at both ladies of his, and shook his head. He sighed, "Well, yes I do love Elisha a lot, but I still love you both regardless..." Both of the ladies did not take his words kindly and snarled. "O-okay, okay..." "Anyways, I cannot let the Nazis and the fake Revitals take over the damn world. I must do something, before all would be lost. It's now or never," Tikiyachod said. "Then why do you keep on thinking about that girl? C'mon, you have me, Azlariah, and Cadusa, the snake lady! C'mon, Cakemaster!" the elven woman, Azlariah, taunted him in a mocking tone. "I honestly don't know, and s-she... she left a special mark on m-my history......" the great Cakemaster weeped as he recalled the sweet moments and sad tradegies of his past. It was such a rare sight to witness the Cakemaster himself crying. "So, back to business... and no worries, later on we will go to our chamber and have some fun......" Tikiyachod flirtatiously whispered to his two ladies with a grin. "So the Aranorian Nazis decided to go for the fake Revitals. Like how.... uhhh.... like how Elisha seemed to be really loving to that damned fuckboy...... I don't know! Ahhhhhh!" "Anyways, we must stop the gangsters from growing big! Call the High Council over for a meeting!" *** Moments later, inside a secure chamber... "Cakemaster, what do you have in mind?" Tortesa, the living chocolate cake with a classy presence, asked. "As you should know, the Aranorian Nazis have fallen in love with the so-called Revitals in Whampoa." Tikiyachod spoke chuckling uncontrollably. "And we must do something before they kiss and hold hands." The entire room fell into chuckles and giggles as soon as Tikiyachod finished his lovely words. "Listen, minions. I plan to send help to the troubled countries of Lanceline and Articia. I also want to bring them together into the Central Powers too. More friends, the merrier. A friend in need is a friend indeed." Tikiyachod continued. "But my Cakey, I object because this will trigger their butthurt Nazism!" Tikiyachod slammed his desk and screamed, "Are you a goddamn Social Justice Wankstain?!" "This will send them into rage and bring us more foes!" "For Elisha's sake, I won't ditch my friends for the sake of some butthurt Nazis and Mobsters! So shut the fuck up!" Pherith then issued a public statement over the recent happenings. Tikiyachod has spoken his disappointment over the Aranorian Confederacy's "bad" choice. He has also announced more military aid for Lanceline, Articia and Royalist Whampoa. Pherith and Royalist Whampoa have also invited Lanceline and Articia to the Central Powers to resist the Aranorian regime. Four fleets of skyships and six fleets of seaships -- [b]with plenty of anti-air weaponries[/b] -- were dispatched to cover Lanceline and Articia. Each Elias country will receive two fleets of air force and three fleets of navy. [h2]A Righteous Fury[/h2] [@BirdofParadise] [@Paillan] Berthold held another rally in the glorious city of Klungsberg, the secondary and [i]de facto[/i] capital of the Empire of Nanyang. Tschan Berthold walked his way up to the stages amidst the great applause from the crowds. He turned to face the crowds with a smirk. "Ahem..." "Brothers and sisters! Today, I, Tschan Berthold von Lenggong, am here for a speech to my fellow Whampoans!" roared Berthold as he rose up his tightened fist in a righteous fury. "But today, I have grave news for all of my kins, and I hope you have heard of it. Another country has ditched our righteous Whampoan Reich and instead went flirting with the Revital bandits!" Berthold proclaimed in a solemn, but strong, tone. "How dishonorable and wicked is the faithless regime of Aranor! We are vehemently strong on our stance on maintaining our righteousness and world peace. And at the same time, I must reaffirm that we, the righteous Whampoan Reich and its folk, refuse to ever acknowledge any agreements made with the Revital regime! The Revital mob of bandits cannot be taken seriously as a representative of our righteous Whampoan homies!" A round of strong applauses and cheers followed. Berthold took a deep breath, and continued with tears flowing from his moist eyes. "The Revital mob is a traitorous syndicate within the Whampoan Reich, a mob that keeps on oppressing the Whampoan motherland and her children! These bandits are [i][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Malays_National_Organisation]Amnoh[/url][/i] and [i][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_China]Kungtsan[/url][/i] reincarnated and blended together as a huge menace! Those bandits loathe the republic as much as we do, but they rose through the very same republic that backstabbed Whampoa, while refusing our kingly sovereignty and carrying on the wicked tyrannies of the republic! As I speak, these faithless bandits are still oppressing our fellow Whampoan homies! And those Revital gangsters are shamelessly doing business with the Entente Powers, the Entente Powers that brought our nation to ashes in the first place!" Another round of screams and claps from the crowds embraced Berthold. "Even though those filthy bandits have taken over the Whampoan mainland; our true and righteous Whampoan Reich lives on elsewhere! We are still very alive and well in Taiwan, Nanyang, Lemuria and Mittelafrika! [i]Ja, Homimun?[/i]" "[i]Ja, wakus Mahakaisar![/i]" "The righteous imperium in Klungsberg, is the only true representative to our millions of homies trapped in the mainland. We represent their shared cries of suffering and affliction, and we fully support them against the Revital syndicate! So, no matter how we look at it, whether from legal, humanitarian or natural perspectives, the Revital mob cannot take over our righteous seat within the international community!" "We of the Whampoan nation prides ourselves on our traditions of justice and peace. Even though more and more regimes ditched us seeking to fuck the Revital gangsters, we shall still uphold our principles fighting for justice and peace in the world." "Our Whampoan nation shares the same hope to befree our homies from the clutches of those faithless bandits! And this our aim shall be!" "[i]Wotei Wongpouian tak boleh berputus Asekan woteis! Kalau wotei berputus Asekan, wotei akan hilang Semue dan mati![/i] (We Whampoans cannot let our hope wither! If we give up, we will lose everything and die!)" Berthold screamed his heart out with tremendous passions, followed by rounds of claps and cheers from the high crowds. The crowds began to scream for the befreeing of their mainland too. "Eradicate the Revital traitors!" "Rescue our Mainlander homies!" "Bring back the true Whampoa!" "Amaterasu blesses Whampoa and the [i]Mahakaisar[/i]!" These were all the passionate words from the crowds. "We have all the moral support, the army muscles and sufficient material fuel. With the hearts of our fellow homies in the whole world, the Whampoan Reich stands strong! We are definitely not a weakling dominated by the others, but we have here a great force to change and influence the fate of the entire friggin world! Have faith in ourselves! Sure, it might look grim and dangerous, but if we stand strong on our faith and courage, nobody can tremble our righteous fury!" [h2]Meteor![/h2] [quote=@Lasersquid112] A sudden, piercing shriek was heard as something fell from the sky. It streaked fire behind it, the heat apparently not strong enough to destroy it as it entered the atmosphere. It slammed the ground, only about ten miles out of Kwongtsou's outer city limits. Dirt and debris shot up hundreds of feet into the air. A broadcast, in English, was sent out in a fifty-mile radius. Anyone who could decode it would hear: "Unknown organisms sighted at 1500 hours. Fire base mobilized at 1505 hours. Casualties at 1530 hours: 99%. Onsite nuclear weapons detonated. Moon destroyed. Dropship launched. Target: Unknown." A loud beeping noise would play, and then a male's voice, hoarse and ragged, was heard. "There's too many of them! Fall back to the bunker! Ice, you get in the pod! You've gotta get out of here! Spread the word to the Federation! Go, go, g-AGH!" The rest of the message consists of wet gurgles, gunfire, inhuman screeching, running, screaming, and chewing sounds. A robotic female voice sounds. "Message end. Message repeat." The message repeats, all of its' gory detail available for dissection. [/quote] (Sorry for the rather rough reply, but I was quite tired at the time of writing, yet I do not want to keep you guys and gals waiting forever) *alarms and sirens sounded as the unknown object came from the skies and hit the outer areas of Kwongtsou* *naturally, such a meteor close to the capital of Revital Whampoa would not have gone unnoticed* *of course aroused a lot of attention* *also the meteor aligned with one Kuomintang Shintoist prophecy, too* *the broadcast was heard of and then decoded* *the Revitals were amazed it's spoken in English* *the Revital regime sent its encoded reply to the site of impact, which could be decoded the same way* "Greetings, stranger. You are now in the territories of the Whampoan Reich. The shuttle impact near our capital city has greatly aroused our attention. We are sending our homies right now for a visit."
