Epic Quest Three: But if that's the case, Anderson, then in my opinion Margaret is a bugger

Five

Something cracked on his head, delivering a blinding burst of pain. Not that it mattered, his eyes being closed, but it still didn't feel too great.

"Get up! You are in violation of Atlantean Esportiva law," a stern voice yelled at him. "As of six hours ago, the entirety of West Esportiva - everything east of Inferiore Lane - is now territory of the Atlantean Republic of Oceania."

"Oceanside took over the region?" Llama mumbled. "I knew Evil Grantica was up to something."

The thing - revealed to be a nightstick - smashed into his head again. He groaned, crumpling to the ground and wondering why the policeman would be dumb enough to use a nightstick during the day. Somehow he was lifted to Terrabonate Lane and dumped there unceremoniously, and, being unconscious, stayed there until the next day.

For the first time in what seemed to be ages, Wolfie opened his eyes and saw...nothing. An absolutely dark void, bereft of matter and purpose. He was truly alone in the emptiness, floating along in the vacuum.

He looked down and saw nothing. So this was what being dead felt like. Fairly boring activity.

For cosmic ages he drifted along on a sightseeing tour of nothing. There was nobody around and he began to slowly lose his mind, until he was just a barely-feeling void drifting around in a larger one. The explosion had been sudden - he'd had no time to get out, and at the last second, diving for the safety of the bubble, it had been stern and unforgiving, keeping him out even as it burst and destroyed half of Esportiva, leaving only ruins behind.

And then he'd ended up here. There'd been a lot of delay, something about changing governors from Juan Tzimisces to the legendary, mononymously-dubbed Wight (it was rumored to be a condensed form of Wesley Wright, but even the creator of the myth, after a few bribes, said it was an awful rumor and not in the least bit true). But now, he was free to drift about doing nothing for eternity, no longer tied up in bureaucratic red tape preventing him from being truly dead.

Yayyyyyy.

Sem saw the new guy, Jeck, staring at the new map of Esportiva someone had given him. The site of the Esportivan's former flat, as well as a considerable amount of other residential areas, Guayabal's and Glo's amongst them - had been completely levelled and then annexed by the AOspiracy. And Valanora didn't appear to be up for stopping at thirteen or so places. He'd seen maps at Valanora's desk, and they were full of grand plans to sweep through the rest of the south and then work their way up the large number of shops up the east of Esportiva, from there acquiring the firepower to sweep through the rest of it and move on to Rushmore.

Sem's puppet-bots were working well, travelling the streets and planting various objects underneath shops and houses that could be detonated for a quick distraction when the time came. Smoke bombs seemed to be a favorite, although many advocated for something with more firepower. There were so many he could barely recognize all of them, but he managed it.

"How's the new prototype working?" The new prototype was a combat robot that Sem had high hopes for. It would simulate normal behavior until somebody hit the trigger, whereupon it could take out a good deal of the nearby population with fire. The legal costs would be immense, and so far it was considered only as a last resort, but they were confident it could win the war.

"Fairly well," Jeck said, "we'll be deploying it by the end of the week."

"That's good," Sem said. The new prototype didn't have the kill-with-fire option, only a few built-in weapons and the ability to fight hand-to-hand if the switch was flipped. If it could replicate behavior and maybe shoot up a few, the war would be nearly won..

"This is weird"

"Yeah"

"We RP'd and posted a roster and since that time we can't win a game"

"I never understood that, you would think that posting a roster would help our cause"

"Especially when it's the best defenders of all time from an alternate universe"

"Especially with an all star team like that"

"Maybe the organizers didn't like the lack of creativity of not coming up with new names"

"Eh, who is the last Milchamian baseball player you can even name?"

"Marc J. Floren"

"He played football"

"He was really good"

"Still is, he's playing for Good Alexandria right now"

"That would make him several hundred years old"

"Well he is, he's talking about making a comeback to the Milchamian national team next time"

"Oooh he should, they should use the World Cup 24 roster next cup!"

"I bet they will"

"Yep, mostly because I just got that idea and it's a good one"

"Nothing like celebrating approximately 10 years in NS than doing things like that"

"Exactly"

"And then the newspaper reports will come back!"

"And they will be terribly written!"

"And Milchama will be shockingly mediocre in the World Cup and Cup of Harmony!"

"Woo! World Cup 24 was the best!"

"You know we're technically in a thread about baseball"

"Oh so when is An Archy coming back to make World Cup of Baseball 3"

"Yeah after our loss to Bipedal Apes in the final, we need to make a clean break to win the next cup!"

"Really though"

"These new kids don't understand"

"What?"

"They just need to get off my lawn"

"Definitely"

"Get off my lawn children!"

"Go away!"

"Something about the Lake Song by the Decemberists"

"Ooh another mid-00s institution"

"Go them!"

"Team!"

"Come on You Warriors!"

"Let's Go Milchama!"

We play them...Maklohi Vai...Again

Here is a broadcast about the match against Maklohi Vai with Max Branning and Lou Marsh.

Max: Hello Britonisea! Welcome to The Round of 16 of The World Baseball Classic 32. We have reach the Round of 16 once again and we are playing...guess who?

Lou: Maklohi Vai. The broke our 100% win record putting a dent in our play and our Ro16 standings. For the first 7 matches we beat the nations and then they abolished us in the final few matches.

Max: So let's talk about a few of the nations.

Lou: Firstly, San Jose Guayabal. With them coming first with only loosing one match, they have a very good chance against Hicana.

Max: I totally agree with you, I don't think that Hicana will get through the next round. I mean, they done very well this edition. I am not going to lie.

Lou: Thanks. What about Gregoryisgodistan and The Royal Kingdom of Qubec.

Max: It will be an interesting match between you and me know that the Qubecians are much better than Gregoryisgodistan, that's my opinion.

Lou: True, but, Gregoryisgodistan came second overall. That has volume.

Max: I am sick of talking about Gregoryisgodistan, let's say The Royal Kingdom will win.

Lou: If you want. Let's talk about 1 match until we talk about the Britonish match. What about Jeckland and Nassua Hessen.

Max: Do you mean Nassau Hessen? Well, I don't know the logistics, but based on this tournament alone, Jeckland could crush them. I think that they'll win.

Lou: Okay, I think that Nassau will conquer. I feel it in my bones.

Max: Creepy...Anyway, in the smallest stadium of all of them, we have the Britonish-Maklohi Vian match. Maklohi Vian or Maklohian, I am not sure.

Lou: This match will be very interesting because Britonisea has a higher percentage of winning but on both occasions, Maklohi Vai has beaten Britonisea which lead to them being 6th.

Max: I totally agree. Britonisea has to work very hard. We have to go, bye Britonisea.

Lou: Bye.

Chapter 3, The Battle of Jarille

The Battle of Jarille

Blun Communist State
The Daily Journal
"Bringing you the journals from all around"

"... I was there. It was horrible.

I was awoken to my house been shaken by some force. At first, I thought it was an earthquake, so I ran out my house. I was mistaken. I looked to the sky, and I saw this pillar of smoke rising into the atmosphere. Then, the airplanes descended from their high altitude over the city docks. They begun to release the explosives over the docks. The ground shook at each impact.

Only few minutes passed when military vehicles were speeding to the scene. Firetrucks, police cars, and ambulances did not go unnoticed with their sirens booming throughout this part of the city.

The noise, the cries, the calls from help - it's something I will never be able to forget. It has marked me.

It all happened on Christmas day, too. A day of hope, of peace, and of joy was quickly converted into a day of discouragement, of violence, and of sadness. Prior to noon, planes begun to fall from the sky. They crashed into almost anything, it being the ocean, a building, or the fields.

However, it seemed that they just wanted to destroy the docks, as that was the only place they seemed the attack. I was evaluated from the city. Jarille was also a guarded village. We were all sent to another one, and I do not know what was the fate of Jarille."

Repubic of Star United States
The Islander's Journal
"Trayéndote lo bueno"

"... Wow! It was such a successful battle. First victory for the islands, hopefully more are to come! The planes went in and accomplish their mission. Yes, people died, but many more died the day they attacked our beloved City of Star.

I was pilot of one the planes that went in, and I had the honor to begin the invasion, and I sure did. The bomb fell to the earth and impacted as such. The others followed.

I was in command of six planes, including my own, and four of them were lost. They were shot down to the ground. Two of the four crashed into the ocean, while the other two on land. I lack the knowledge of their locations, and if they are still alive. They were my friends, and now they're lost while fighting for the Republic!

Onward, we shall go. Long live the republic!"
