[Guadalupador]

1407 Hours: Nosamo, Integralist Confedracy of New Yama. (26/8/2026)

In recent history, the year 2025 was one of the worst years for Guadalupador since 2012: The horrible mistake of aiding Eren Terten in his campaign against Martinezism in Burma resulting in the Andaman Sea Disaster, engineered by High Admiral Ghazan Quardya, lead to the fall of Natalya Saiko in a coup by Guiseppe Trigra. Within the last few months of 2025, Trigra killed the Dorian democratic process, and harshly ruled over Guadalupador. He attempted to reform the country into something that the Cuscatlanis that he wanted to impress would consider, acceptable. With Trigra's failure to do so, his Minister of State Security took the reigns and nearly destroyed the country during the Nosamo Uprising, where the remnants of the Federal Union of Federal Guadalupador took control of many of the provinces to the north seceding and declaring themselves independent from Vashan's 'New Guadalupdor.' Vashan was later proven to be insane, and his former colleague chose to dispose of him so he could regain SACTO's favor, and end the fighting.

Eight months into his reign as Leader of the Junta, High Admiral Ghazan Quardya was in the midst of consolidating his power: Restructing his Junta, getting rid of his enemies in the new Integralist Armed Forces, preparing for future conflict with the Federal Union of Guadalupador to the north, and further attempting to gain Gran Cuscatlan's favor by changing the name of the Integralist Union of Guadalupador to 'New Yama' at the behest of Carlos Silva. Quardya fully intended on staying in power longer than his predecessors, so he kept a keen eye on new developments in conflicts pertaining to his benefactors within the Santiago Pact.
Admiral Quardya sat alone in the old National Assembly Chamber, with a television hooked up to the main podium flipping channels between various international news channels. Where once there were people that debated matters of state, he watched movies, television, and news in the same seats. It became his sort of personal sanctuary, this once prestigious symbol of the Dorian democratic process meant nothing more to him than a place to relax, and watch the evening news. As he flipped inbetween channels, something peculiar caught his eye: Eren Terten was making a public appearance, one that was supposedly overdue, since his overthrow several months back. Oh, Terten... He thought as he saw the bespectacled man on the television. "Thank you so much for your war with SACTO...If it weren't for you, then I wouldn't be in this position." Ghazan said to himself quietly, smirking at Terten's image. As he listened to the former Punong's ravings, he couldn't help but giggle to himself. He's gone mad, hopefully they get the poor bastard out of the way soon. He couldn't believe what psudo-religious drivel that Terten was speaking, but he was certainly interested in the dealings with the Bayan. He grabbed his cellular phone, and dialed the number of his good friend, and Minister of State Security, General Phariso Manya. "Manya. How well have you restructured the International Intelligence Sector of the SSM?" Quardya was straight and to the point with his question, bypassing any formalities. "Let me get to what I want to do with it: I want Sector Nine to infiltrate Asigna for future possible operations...Operations that could involve Terten."

"You want to use Sector Nine to go to the Philippines and kill Terten?" Manya asked, sort of surprised.

"No, Terten is a dangerous man, but not worth killing, not yet, at least. There is a possibility where we can conduct operations against any Tertenite factions within the Bayan, that we can earn further respect, and trust with SACTO."

There was a pause from General Manya's side of the line, as he shifted papers around to find out what was going on in the Bayan regarding Eren Terten. "That sound's plausible. The Federal Union won't touch us if we have the official military aid of SACTO at our backs, and it'll be good to have trustworthy allies that won't try and dispose of you, like they did with Trigra, and Vashan."

"Now you see my reasoning. Let this be the first major action that Sector Nine will accomplish." Quardya muttered before hanging up.

0500 Hours: Raul Martinez International Airport, Nosamo, New Yama. (27/8/15)

The five SSM Agents of Sector Nine discreetly moved through the airport terminal, through security, and towards their flight to Manila. This was one of the first civilian flights open to the world since the closing of New Yaman Airspace 10 months before. The majority of civilians were just the beginning of a wave of political and social refugees attempting to escape New Yama and Quardya's tough rule. They would provide the perfect cover for the infiltration of the Bayan. Now the biggest challenge for the immediate moment, would be the long flight.

[Bashriyya]

Mohammed Al-Nasheed walked up, looking at the camera in front of him, important speech was about to be given, and he began to speak into the Television. The camera man focused in on him, and his daughter was watching happily at home with her husband, his son Hassan Al-Nasheed was guarding the door in-case anyone plotted to kill him, and things were shaky, entire country had military patrolling the streets in case anyone tried to disrupt the speech.

"The Communist forces of Bilad Ash-Sham are oppressing Oman, while the Takfiris of Al-Dawla created by the Asignese currently oppress Yemen, my fellow Bashriyyans, the Asignese are weak today is the day we march into Yemen and begin liberation then head straight for Oman, this is the perfect opportunity to strike, Allah, Bashriyya, Nasheed W Bas!"

Chairman Moriarty was just on his way back to his office after that day's meeting of the Supreme Presidium, they had been briefed upon the relevant details of the current happenings of the situation in Asigna and had decided on a proper course of action. The Supreme Presidium was an elected body of the Supreme People's Congress (the national legislature and also the highest council of the Communist Party), tasked with implementing Party policies on a national scale (it is the executive branch of government). Alesdair Moriarty was the Chairman of the Supreme Presidium, while all members had an equal vote and power, Moriarty was the official head of government (Alesdair Moriarty is also the General Secretary of the Secretariat of the Communist Party - He has control over the administrative functions of the Communist Party). While the Commissars oversaw the implementation of the finer details of Party policy, the Chairman co-ordinated and oversaw everything related to the government.

Chairman Moriarty arrived in his office, to find a nice warm cup of coffee left on his desk by one of his personal secretaries. He peered out the (bulletproof and tinted) window directly behind his desk, to look at the hundreds of guards down below, standing at attention. He took a sip of his coffee and the logged into his account on the government (closed and air-gapped) network. He opened up a secure video connection with Major General Cahal O'Hara of the 1st Airborne Division of the Socialist Revolutionary Army (SRA) Ground Force.

"Greetings Comrade Chairman." Said the Major General, an older man with almost silver hair and blue eyes.

"Greetings Comrade General. I'll get straight to your orders, which are of vital importance to the advancement towards communism. By the authority of the Supreme Presidium, and to come into effect immediately, the 1st Airborne Division is ordered to maintain a level of readiness for deployment at a moments notice. An order to deploy to the Philippine Bayan's capital, Manila, could come at any time and is expected to be responded to as soon as you receive it. With the transport aircraft we have provided, you should be able to fully deploy to Manila in a maximum period of ten days. The Party would personally like to wish you luck, the advancement towards communism and the fate of progressivism may soon lie in your hands." Chairman Moriarty ended on.

We hope that our two countries and ruling parties can form a closer and stronger relationship, for the good of all of humanity and its eternal march of progress who in this age are under increasing threat from the conservative forces of reaction. Unfortunately Commissar O'Brien will not be able to attend, as important matters have come to attention and can not be left to anyone else or be allowed to wait. However our popularly and democratically elected head of state; President Aoife O'Hannegan, a seasoned diplomat with the Commissariat of the Exterior, will be attending and will represent the UASR.

We would also like to formally profess our commitment to defending your progressive Bayan; if the Bayan ever comes under attack, you can count on the UASR's support in the vital defence of progressivism. We are not seeking to station troops in the Philippines, however we already have an airborne division prepared for immediate airlift to Manila in order to assist your government in any way possible. All you have to do is request its deployment, and it will be fully deployed in under a fortnight. We would obviously deploy larger and stronger forces, if a war were to break out. We hope we can fight together, against the forces of reaction, and to act as the vanguard's of humanity on its eternal path of progress.

Mabuhay!

[Zhouran]

The People's Republic of Zhouran had always hated the Philippines since Terten rose to power. The entire nation had went through a Cold War-like phase that was so intense that any minor incident between the two nations would lead to possibly a Zhouranese invasion of the Philippine archipelago, and probably turn into a massive world war. Anti-Philippine sentiments had grew immensely, and many Filipino immigrants were forcibly deported, while Zhouranese-Filipinos were harassed and discriminated, even those who were nationalistic for Zhouran. Nationalist hardliners and followers of various Kaiming Chuantong (A.K.A Zhouranese Reactionary Traditionalist) movements had all called for a glorious patriotic war against the Filipino nation and race. But when Terten was removed from power, the whole tension had decreased significantly, however, anti-Philippine sentiments still exist, the hatred against Filipinos and the Philippine nation continued.

When Terten's ideology became a cult, various Christians in Zhouran, including the powerful Zhouranese Orthodox Church, were shocked. The Zhouranese Orthodox Church wanted a massive, holy crusade against the Philippine nation, in which they described it as a "disgusting, degenerate place where sinners go." They believed that the Philippine Catholics are "heretics who allowed their nation to crumble" and that all the people of the Philippines should be punished for "their heinous acts."

The Zhouranese know that the Filipinos won't back down, but thanks to Zhouran's intense and passionate warrior culture, they weren't willing to back down as well. In fact, many were eager in sacrificing their lives for the sake of the nation, the Kangyuli race, and the preservation of world stability. The Zhouranese themselves also know that the Filipinos are competitive, but luckily, the Zhouranese themselves are several decades ahead in terms of science, military, and economy. Although this was because the Zhouranese had not been colonized, but rather, they modernized and Westernized, which led to Zhouran's rise since the 19th Century, at a time when most of Asia was undeveloped, with only Zhouran and Japan being the most modern Asian nations.

"Some people do not understand power."

As the elements of the 3rd Philippine Fleet "Matagumpay" were setting their course to a designated rally point after receiving new set of orders from the Department of National Defense from Malacanang, the tasked naval group is to meet with the 56th Neapolitan Surface Ship Strike Group and cross the Dardanelles while under low EMCON. With the dark of the night, only the lights of the lighthouses. few towns and wary campers can be seen from the bridge's binoculars. While the captains and their crew are busy as the ships cruise the black blue seas of the night, surely even before the sun shines, the fleet elements would be reaching Naples within a few hours.

"And only a few can grasp and handle it."

These old men, with the youth and the willing, are maybe not clever enough to fulfill the promise to their children, but the hope still brightens their sunlight of tomorrow. In a local cafe, these people of about sixty in number, they gathered and laughed, shared their stories, danced with the old tunes and newer tunes of the modern free music of the generations, from the old Iron Guard days to the present day. The brimming smile on the faces of the elderly watching the children play in the celebration of their innocence are the trail of those who fought for their dear nation many decades ago. As they gathered in such festivity, they together hoisted their free banner in the town as a reminder to themselves and to the next in line of what they stand for.

Pulu Mutai Skyport
Perlaraja [VAR 6.12]
???:??? ?/?/????

The sky seems clear among the towering skyports of Pulu Mutai, a temple city to Lord Vishnu and Amitabha. Airships xome and go, routes reaching throughout variations. Today, three couples of ambassadors from the Pearl Kingdom arrive, as the Royal Airship, under seal of His Majesty the Rajah of all Three Lands, have been allowed to them to visit the Progressive variation of the Philippine Islands.

"Nayang gorang, Tagol. Ay merang pag-isip niyang raja-rajang ayah."

"Ay geyan telagawon bay silah. Untuk gorang may raja-rajan. Patiwat amay sa tin, ag megawagawa kani ayah."

"Ah, tara, taral! Mag-lakay ni tayo sa Pagaraw na Pilipinas. Tisadaw, ah?"

"Puking Kibay."

What yoh heard is a disgruntled and profane discourse (in Pejah language) of two ambassadors from the Kotalusung. There is dislike of the descisions of the sovereigns, and the rationales behind it (if there was any) are unknown. It might be that Sri Raja Vritra, the facilitator amd thread-spinner of the Sovereign Victorialas, be senselessly writing up nonsense and has skimmed through the events within the variation of the realm he lives on. Nevertheless, the ambassadors will be moving, and hope that their arrival and inquiry shall help clear things up among the Sovereigns.

As the gates of the golden-decorated airship arrives, the ambassadors enter.

It closes and leaves.

They waited for a limo to bring them to the palace for the state visit with the leader of Asigna Philippines.

Greetings,

You have not given us an answer. Please, reply to the question - will you be allowing our inspectors in, or not? Failure to do so will be considered a violation of the treaty, the action of which is not in anyone's best interests.

On another note, we will be sending of delegates to the party. Any impediment to their duties will be considered by us to be an act of aggression.

Tel al-Riyah, Riysa

The overtly hostile response from the Asignans, plus the latest speech by Timente, gave the Riysian cabinet confirmation that they were up to no good. The old guard and structure were still in place, and Drapiza had yet to prove himself as the new leader, which made conditions ripe for a "rematch", so to speak. Drapiza and co. were getting a little too comfortable with their current position, so they needed to be given a reminder of where they stood in the world, before it was too late. Readiness orders were delivered by courier to selected units, with Marshal Samir al-Rashi appointed as theatre commander by the same round of messages.

And so Samir stretched his back, as he waited for the civilian flight to arrive at Tel al-Riyah International. He was to go first, flying to Ishikawa in Nihondai to set up a command post there, as Nihon was closer to the capital islands of Asigna than Riysa was. Once he was there, he'd negotiate the temporary settlement of Riysian forces at Nihonese bases, making strikes and the eventual land/sea campaign easier than operating directly out of Turkey or Riysa. Apparently, High Command had radioed a basic framework ahead of time to Ishikawa, with objectives they wanted complete, to help him plan out the campaign if it came to fruition. Though, it would be okay if they backed down too - the Command obviously didn't mind either, as long as the Asignans learned their place.

He cracked his knuckles. 20 minutes until boarding. Plenty of time to read up on allied vehicles.

MESSAGE: RIYSIAN HIGH COMMAND
OPERATION FARIS

Operational goal: Cut off the Capital Islands if war is declared.

Attack Sites: Palawan Island, Sulawesi Island

Palawan Island: Land at Rizal, Quezon, and/or Puerto Princesa.
Desired Effect: Contest the Sulu Sea and bring multiple zones in range of airstrikes.

Sulawesi Island: Land and seize control at the northern tip.
Desired Effect: Contest the Celebes Sea and form a landing pad to force enemy forces out of the surrounding islands.

[Zhouran]

The Zhouranese were starting to get jumpy and tense. Because the Asigna regime has created an international focus on the Asia-Pacific region (thanks to Terten's previous reckless leadership), the People's Defense Council had decided to mobilize the entire Zhouranese People's Army, in an event that Terten, due to his hot-headed attitude, will declare war. At the same time, a contingency plan is currently being created by the PDC. Called "Hunt for the Philippine Eagle", not much is known except that it will be a massive military operation plan by the People's Republic of Zhouran for dealing with "sudden change" in the Philippines, and will involve the "liberation" of Luzon.

The People's Defense Council sent a highly-encrypted message to the Central Defense Commission, detailing the contingency plan.

Admiral Kyrov received priority mobilization orders from the Defence committee earlier this afternoon. These priority orders from the Committee was rare, as the Defence Committee preferred to implement instructions decided as soon as feasible, particularly if they were important. Kyrov took a sip of his wine then summoned up a map of current fleet deployments in his region. There were no major actions currently taking place, so redeployment would not be an issue. So composing an expeditionary fleet would have to be built around it. He picked up his phone. "I need Vice-Admiral Afanasy and Captain Daichi in here.... Good... Thank you."

Ten minutes later, the two officers arrived. Kyrov began "I have received priority orders from the Defence Department. We need a expedition task fleet around in SE. Asia protecting the Bayan ships and civilian companies. Captain, provide the Vice-Admiral with additional support to make preparations. We have not yet received deployment orders, but be ready for as soon as tomorrow. Dismissed.

The 3rd Fleet of the ZPA Navy had mobilized several warships as ordered by the Central Defense Commission. A group of seventeen large guided-missile destroyers, eight larger nuclear-powered guided-missile destroyers, thirteen large nuclear-powered attack submarines and a single nuclear-powered surveillance ship, led by a gargantuan "missile dreadnought", were peacefully sailing as the sun sets across the horizon. Despite the serene atmosphere, every single warship was placed on high alert, as they have been given orders to patrol the seas.

"Attention to all warships, this is Thunderous Revenge. Prepare for night time patrol. All crewmembers should prepare for crew rotations. Remain vigilant and watch out for any ships passing by."

Aboard the bridge of Thunderous Revenge

Holding a rank of chief admiral, Fan was not only in command of the sailing behemoth, but also the entire group. A strict, conservative disciplinarian, she's known for being uptight, stern and draconian, as well as being quite harsh.

"All ship personnel must stay alert. Failure to do so will result in losing hot shower privilege."

Despite being in her early 50s, Fan looked more like she's in her mid-40s. She was given the nickname "Dragon Lady" by fellow comrades due to her draconian, repressive nature. But despite her authoritarian behaviour, Fan was the type of woman who would flirt with younger men, especially those who only hold enlisted ranks.

Shotatsu, Taigan [VAR 6.12]
The Imperial Palace

This was all a mistake. They fed the fire. Now it cannot halt.

The Imperial Palace was under a mild noon, with a sun lukewarmed by clouds and southern wind. Smells like freshly cut plants and chlorine from the central fountain. Silence.

Tsugun sits in his office. White, slightly modern, partial wooden components, sleek electronic equipment, a quartz clock and a small mahogany altar. He sits silently, in prescence of his greatest vassals, dressed half-flamboyant, sitting in front of him. A ticking clock, a tapping finger and slight breathing. He intently thinks, focused in gaze. The nobles look over him, doing nothing but heavy contemplation. He's probably having constipation. He slowly sighs in heavy amounts, analyzing the events the Commonwealths have seen and have made that led to this specific quandary.

The Axis. The Central Powers. The Red Insurrection. The United Left. The Confluence Congresses. Allah. Terten. SACTO. Burma. Scandal. Terten. War. Terten. Terten. Terten. Terten. Terten Terten. Terten.

Coffee.

"Your majesty?" A noblewoman approached.

The train of thought broke. The completing puzzle was thrown off the window. The symhonic crescendo of conclusion suddenly stopped. All pieces were gone from his head. All threads and theory and idea, like a dream unremembered. The emperor has to start from scratch, and write down his thoughts. For now it became blank. A surprising jolt, a call to attention to the lady before her.

"Yes?"

"You have been intently thinking lately, and you have gathered the great colors within Your Majesty's palace. What was it of Your Majesty's reason for this?"

"Wait, sorry. I have to get some time alone, you are dismissed for the time being, I'm sorry."

The leaders of the Great Colors stood and calmly walked into the exit of his office. Tsugun presses a button from his table.

"Kamuro, escort the Colors into their temporary lodgings. Accommodate them accordingly."

He then takes a blank sheet of paper, an inkwell, his three seals and his brush. In a determined sigh he organizes them. The paper on the middle, the inkwell on the top left supporting the paper, the brushes just below the well. The seals are on the right.

He picks up his brush, dipped it in ink, and proceeds to write.

FROM THE SOVEREIGN OF THE BLUE CRANE

To the other Sovereigns, and their Dominions and Vassals. Out of recent events and ferment on the international scene I urgently call for a black session in the Golden Congress. We shall gather at our capital. This is of highest urgency and regards the Philippine Bayan. Withdraw our Mutian ambassadors. Heaven bless all of you.

There were twelve copies of this.

Wa-kyong, Hasumin [VAR 6.12]
Imperial Court

"This Court is now in session. Anyone may speak." Tenori declared.

The nobles sat seiza in front of their short legged tables, in front of them paper, a microphone, documents and ink. They were garbed regally, displaying their honor weapons and accompanied by the nobori of their domain. The sessions are open forums and lawmaking committees. Raise a hand and propose, protest, speak or suggest. Such was the Lotus Empire.

One raised a hand. An old man in black-and-white robes, balding, fat and wrinkled, a clean shaven face and a domed chin. He bears the green embroidered sword. A high honorable man of the Eulhae.

"Your Majesty, bless you and your clan for all the years to come." He bowed. "The nations of the commonwealth have been hearing news regarding the Philippine Bayan, which we have lost contact since their war with SACTO. We should discuss our stance, as our own sovereign banner."

Another raised a hand. Girl in pink, chalk white make up, ribbon-like hair arranged like small antlers on her back. "He is right, your majesty. Our Commonwealth has been a close friend of the Asignan iteration. What happens to them might affect us dearly."

Others raised hands. Same sentiments and same points. Tenori too bears them. However, she does not know what to say. "But we don't know much since the war in Burma!" She thought. The relative isolation has forced them to deliberately research the international scene. Unfortunately, it was not close to halfway there.

Out of the blue a young messenger approaches her, and whispers.

"Your majesty, word from Taigan."

The messenger then hurriedly left, with Tenori opening and unscrolling the letter, sealed in two shades of blue. She reads along the letter and and she proceeds to nod. In a gesture she called for the bells to ring.

Gong.

Ban.

Lin.

Wan.

The nobles came silent and now to the attention of the Empress. "Your words shall be answered. This court has been called at Taigan."

[Asigna]

Hall of justice building, Manila, Philippines

Terten who, was still in an enclosed room had nothing else to do but to wait. He was banned from requesting anything that was 'suspicious' or might aid in his escape but when he asked for a grand piano, to everyone's puzzlement, they gave him the piano.

"For what's the piano?" Asked Karten, who asked the authorities to guard Terten personally. He watched over from a soundproof and bulletproof one way glass mirror and spoke to Terten through a microphone and speaker in his empty white room which had nothing else but a small stool where bespectacled man sat.

"Isn't it obvious? I want to play..." Said Terten who crossed his legs.

"Really....?" Karten darted him with a suspicious look.

"How do you think i can physically escape this room armed with anti bunker buster strength concrete and studded with titanium as well as 3 layer bullet proof one way glass? With a piano?" Terten chucked. "Hay naku!" He darted back an evil look through the one way mirror. "Tanga ka ba?" The bespectacled man's evil look made Karten took a step back and chill a bit, it was puzzling how the man could look at him straight in the eye if he could not see him back in the first place through the one way mirror.

Listen to - Terten playing the piano - Yanni - A man's dream

"I guess doing so wouldn't hurt..." Karten sighed as he summoned a few KK agents to carry a large piano into Terten's cell. A few other KK agents had restrained him and told him to stop all thoughts about escaping at a machine gunpoint. Terten simply obediently kept sitting in his chair as the piano was being pushed into place and smiled after it was done. Terten was then given his piano, a grand piano to be exact and started playing.

Karten however, even though he knew this was a harmless way to pass the time, kept a close look at Terten as he moved his fingers through the notes in the keys of the instrument. He kept the speakers on so that he could hear the tune the bespectacled man was playing. He was astounded by his talent but, there was something however about the music he was playing which seemed to reflect the mysterious nature of the man he was guarding. The man who had records about doing human sacrificial records, racial genocide, other equally dark and shady plans and now he knows he's up to something with his 'revelation' speech as it has made a several hundred thousand people gather for him and follow him around zealously from Campo Krame and to the hall of justice building where he was being currently held.

The man was able to dodge the firing squad in the previous trial even though he had to face a ton of evidence against him. He had done so by simply legitimizing his crimes and turning his supposed death sentence into a lifetime of isolation due to being diagnosed with a "mental illness". This seemed to be like the end of Terten's ruckus in the world but Karten wasn't buying it. With the growth of the Tertenites, the increasing number of discovered foiled plots of the world progressivist front and rumors of some kind of Terten era projects that were being kept secret by Adriano, they all seemed to converge on some kind of plan Terten was obviously connected to.

A few hours back

"Your honor..." Said the prosecutor who stood in a podium opposite to that of Terten, who was the defendant and his own defense attorney.

"Standing before you is a man who is being held responsible for political corruption particularly plunder, forceful removal of the opposition through acts of violence, betrayal to the people, waging undeclared wars in countries not sanctioned by the people resulting in tens of thousands of deaths of Filipino soldiers, particularly those wars in South Rothinzil and other parts of the world during the SACTO war and finally, committing unjust and heinous crimes against humanity which remain unpunished for this very day, particularly instigating the public to genocidal tendencies through demagoguery, human sacrifices, slavery and unwarranted civilian casualties sustained in airstrikes in innocent countries, Lebanon for example as well as supporting terrorism by bringing aid both lethal and no lethal to groups directly and indirectly supporting acts of terror, communist, fascist, Islamic as well as hard line self declared progressivists amongst others."

Terten smirked as the pile of evidence was being laid out on the table in the center of the court. "This your honor..." Said the prosecutor who was clearly delighted at his confidence on an easy victory. But Terten had plans...

"The man accused...is no other than the former punong of the bayan, who has betrayed us all, Erin Terten..." The prosecutor pointed to the bespectacled man on the side opposite to him. Murmurs came from the onlooking crowd as Terten looked towards them and smiled.

"And how does the accused plea?" The judge asked.

"Guilty as charged..." Terten said with a smile which make a whole lot of people raise their brows in surprise.

The prosecutor's celebration was short lived, after a few moments of anticipation that Terten had made his job easier with his guilty plea, he then smacked his face with his palm after he came to a realization. "Oh boy, this is Hitler rise of evil all over again..."

The crowd went crazy. Half of the crowd simply nodded to the events while the other half went into a commotion with mixed emotions of outrage, surprise as well as from chanting praises and cheers to boos for Terten.

"I want to make a statement if i am allowed. A cross examination may not be needed given i have already confessed that all the evidence you bring are all legitimate to proving of my 'crimes'." Terten said making air quotes as he said 'crimes' which made the judge think that what he was about to say may be interesting.

"Crimes of course, acts in which the people have supported or have approved during the time they were committed. It is important for us to consider that certain things that today we consider crimes were important or necessary for us to end up in the position we end up today. It is important for us to reconsider that indeed, the hatred for the Chinese was indeed, a way for us to unite with each other in solidarity for national strengthening. The revelation teaches me that i know there were other ways for people to work hard and make this country stronger and more united but that would take a whole generation. What i simply did in encouraging sinophobia was that i had made a catalyst for nationalism to exist and for this nation to have a proper incentive to progress. But that progress will not come without a price, for every miracle, there should be the same amount of despair that will be poured down unto humanity. This is in accordance to the universe's principle for entropy, for every spike in positive energy, there should be an equal trough of negative energy for the equilibrium of thermal energies to be maintained.

Thus, by compressing the industrialization, national unity and social evolution that should have occurred in an entire century into just half of a single decade, in just 5 years, the same amount of deaths were compressed in that time period in the form of the deaths of the Chinese."

"What is this guy trying to imply?" The prosecutor whispered to the judge who shooed him away as he was listening.

"...It works in the same way as the necessity of the Atom bomb explosions of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, they were necessary for us to spark the evolution of man kind. The space race, the growth of nuclear technology, the needed technology America developed in order to make themselves better than the enemy, technology which America later used to benefit the world and mankind overall."

"Of course, if our consciousness was only stuck in the low levels, we would only focus on our reaction to these 'crimes'...." He said so with an ersatz quote. "..and not focus on the bigger implication in the bigger picture of what these crimes will bring about to humanity." He paused for a while.

"We cannot list the Holodomor, the holocaust and the anti Chinese policy in the same light just because they all involve democide, rather, we should look unto these crimes and judge their morality by looking on what they implied for the world in our history, the good consequences that they had given birth to. We must also compare our place now whether we would be prospering just as we are right now if the same actions you consider as crimes were not committed in the first place."

The crowd was awed by this, strange logic. They weren't exactly prepared for this new kind of lecture. Karten, who part of the crowd witnessing the trial noticed that Terten was speaking not like a dictator inciting any emotion, but rather some kind of metaphysical entity.

"You..." Terten pointed to Karten.

"Me?" Karten said in shock.

"No, i was talking about the scabies mite in your neck. Of course i was talking about you!" Terten said making the crowd laugh a bit.

"Let me ask you this question... What is the purpose of your uniform?"

Karten smirked and proudly answered. "The KK uniform symbolizes the dignity of the Filipino people and the discipline we are determined to instill in the bayan which is needed for us to progress indefinitely as-"

"No! Look back in 2039, when i first met you...What purpose have i gave your army in the first place?" The bespectacled leader had him blank.

"Say it..." Terten gave him a grin. "The truth liberates."

He was stuttering as he hesitated to answer. "...T-To murder the Chinese..." A roar of outrage could be heard from the crowd which was then silenced as the judge angrily pounded his gavel.

"Exactly!" Terten cleared his throat and continued. "If i hadn't gave him that purpose which you all consider to be a heinous crime at this very day, millions more would have been starving, the entire Filipino nation would still be the laughing stock of the world. We would never hold this amount of wealth and power which we mainly use to guide mankind in the pursuit of progress and technology.....

By sacrificing those thousand lives in a matter of 5 years, i had saved millions more......and thus, this is the perfect example in which the end...justifies the means." And finally, Terten gave a bow which then made some among the crowd stand up in ovation and applause.

The judge then found it hard to give a decision as he claimed he was "mystified" by Terten's latest words. He then decided that while he did protected himself with his logic, it still didn't excuse him from the crimes committed during the latest wars and because of that.

"Erin Jayet Ramiliano Terten...you are hereby found guilty of war crimes... and hereby, you are sentenced to life in prison as we conclude you are mentally insane and was not in capable mental capability to be fully responsible for your crimes. Take him away!"

To the arriving foreign delegation...

The petty little Maharlika dinner party at the punungan palace continues. The delegates who had arrived at the plaza in front of the Palacial Punungan complex would be greeted by guests who along with them have just arrived and by a large Aklan-KK convoy who was expecting the Whiteshorian, Equestrian, Flardanian, Ardokian, Alaskan, Carlosian and Hudian delegations to arrive and meet with the bayan who was recently christened as punong. If one could see past the intimidating looks, one could know that the guards were really inviting towards the guests and act like waiters or butlers than actual guards, nevertheless they were still very vigilant for the sake of bayan security as they order every guest should sign in on their electronic log books and drink some kind of "friendship drink" (which was just some tasteless blue liquid in wine glass), for unknown reasons though many suspected it was to fish out the guests who were planning evil because they would most likely refuse the drink out of suspicion it is poisoned*.

Adriano even though it was just a few hours after he was declared punong was quick to adjust to the situation and while he was enjoying dinner with a couple of the high class bayan officials, he was already giving away a lot of orders regarding rearranging the Hukbo orbats, tightening security measures in the bayan overseas territories and discussing plans with the Henerals who were already there eating with him should they be attacked or forced to attack a nation. A lot of paperwork were already laid out beside Adriano's food making his spot in the table look like an office desk and he was starting to be more engrossed with the paperwork than with the party going on around him.

After reading and signing so many reports given to him he decided to cut himself some slack for a while. Sighing deeply, he began to massage the sides of his head and felt a migraine was coming.

"This is stressful. Now i understand why Erin seems to age so quickly." Adriano said as he resumed on to his work.

Rosa, who ate beside him leaned a bit so she could peek at what kind of paperwork exactly the punong was paying attention too.

"Hmmm...Let me see... military action against Bashria should be considered, Guadalupador must be destroyed, Neo Philippine empire should followe suit after these too and wage crusade against the conservatives... You're not going to make any friends globally with the kind of foreign policy."

"Oh that's weird, considering you're the one who wrote this foreign policy proposal...."

"Oh...Oh! Oh yeah that...That's nothing." "I just accidentally gave this stupid proposal paper draft to you, i didn't meant to do that."

"Okay leave me on my work, just tell me if something's very important." "Is something important? Am i forgetting something?"

"The foreign delegates."

"Oh, yes, why didn't you let them in?" "The KK guards needed your word. Apparently, your policy's too strict they only listen to you now.."

Adriano welcoming the foreign delegates

As the foreign delegates were accompanied by the guards into the palace, Rosa then played some ambience for Adriano who insisted on making an entrance.

Tinikling dancers welcomed the delegates performing one of the bayan's folk dances while the entirety of the palace staff greeted the diplomats with a clenched fist salute into the air. "Mabuhay!" They cried simultaneously.

Adriano then revealed himself amidst the clenched fist salutes and the dancing performers. He was holding a wine glass

"Welcome! Welcome! I presume you all came to feel quite welcomed in our magnificent display of wealth..." He said pointing towards golden ceilings of the palace which was studded with precious stones.

"...technology..." He continued pointing towards the machine in the ceiling projecting a holographic landscape in one part of the ceiling which was that of a 3 dimensional realistic night sky...

"...pageantry...culture... and ..." He then gave a hearty laugh which was clearly fake to everyone who saw him. "..the awesomeness of the bayan's power." There was a short awkward silence marked by Adriano's continuous smiling.

"I must say... i felt quite distressed when a lot of you thought we were reduced to poverty by those petty skirmishes we had lately..." Adriano then grabbed the bottle from the waiter beside him and also a tray of wine glasses from another waiter beside him. He then filled the glasses with wine and distributed the wine personally to the guests.

"I assure you...business as usual. Is there anything that we need to discuss?" Adriano said.

Meanwhile, the foreign minsitress started to feel left out and felt that she had better things to do than just watch Adriano trying to please the foreigners to his whim. Rosa then knew it wasn't her business to entertain the guests any further which was why she left the palace without the punong's consent so she could finally do what she had had long planned to do, visit an old friend.

...To visit Terten. *The real reason for the "friendship drink* was for the guests to swallow a tracking device which were the powder like devices in the drink which are making it look bluish.It was the same powder used to track the Zhouranese agents who were responsible for blinding the Kalihiman agents who masqueraded as OFWs. They were also capable of reacting to become poisonous if they were touched by certain electromagnetic signals emitted by the power transmitter, the Asigna tower of the punungan palace.

Hall of justice, Manila

Traffic was jammed in the EDSA area as a result of the Tertenite assembly in the vicinity of the hall of justice building where Terten was being held in trial and questioning. Their numbers were far greater than during the time when Terten gave his "tesseract" speech and it seemed to kept on increasing as hours passed and at this rate, no one could say whether this will even stop. A fourth of the KK force in Metro Manila had to be deployed around the area in preparation for quelling any unrest that might possibly explode and to prevent more people from joining the already huge assembly which was driving a lot of motorists nuts waiting for hours in the blocked streets.

Rosa, deciding to pay a visit to her former made her way through the thick crowds of surrounding the hall of justice building. The crowds were still doing the same thing they were doing for days, chanting slogans that praise Terten in a pseudo religious light as well as anti Christian and anti conservative protests.

"Terten pa rin! Terten pa rin! Terten pa rin!" Chanted the crowds around Rosa as they pumped their fists in the air. The mere zeal heard in the tone of their voices disturbed the foreign ministress who looked around to see the faces of the fanatic protesters but she didn't mind them and pushed her way through their thick assembly. It wasn't long before she knew that KK tanods were actually barricading the way and the crowds were apparently trying to break inside the justice hall though to no avail. Trying to get across the barricade, Rosa was stopped by the KK. One of the agents didn't even bother to pause and recognize her and simply fired a pistol at her face in point blank range.

She's out.

The foreign ministress then slowly started to be awakened by a familiar voice. Karten. She immediately recognized as her blurry vision started to clear.

"Where am i..." She was helped up from a bed by a few KK agents around her. She realized she was inside a room which looked like a clinic. "What....?"

"It's okay." Karten said. "You're okay, that was just a plastic pellet wrapped in electrified aluminum foil. Not really a leth-" "...THE HECK WAS THAT ABOUT?" Rosa interrupted as gave Karten a few kicks and punches and finally made Karten fly away after being given a roundhouse kick.

"Sorry!" Karten got up back on his feet feeling his mouth hurting from that roundhouse kick. "Gee-You shouldn't have tried to barge in the agent barricade just like the rest of em'! Kala namin...you were one of them..."

"Well, apparently, i'm not one of them. And this means your agents are freaking blind! What if i was the Hudian president?"

"Won't happen again..." Karten held his two hands up. "We definitely should have been more careful."

The foreign ministress simply rolled her eyes as she fastened her heels back on her feet and got back up. "Sheesh, no wonder you guys lost the war against the Maronites in Lebanon..."

"Well apparently..." Karten snarked. "If it wasn't for your excellent foreign ministry skills the IFC wouldn't had kicked us out in the first place and a lot of wars could have been prevented...but all you do is just slack off."

"Sige na! Sige na! I get it noone'sperfectsowecanstoppointingouteachother'smistakesNOW!"

"You should have been more careful. We're particularly tight because of all the ruckus Terten had been causing." Karten peeked at the window seeing the crowds still hasn't left. He then saw that bricks, molotov cocktails were being thrown. Some of the KK agents were clearly losing their patience based on the expression on their faces. Luckily the molotov cocktails only hit the brick walls and the tough armor of the armored vehicles of the KK.

Karten then took the initiative to grab the radio and remind his men to stay put no matter how irritating the Tertenites had become. "Attention to all tanod squadrons stationed around the hall of justice building, engage in a maximum tolerance policy. Tapos!"

"Say...What brings the foreign ministress of the bayan here in the first place?"

"I want to see the man we used to call punong..."

This sent a surprised look on their faces. "What?" Rosa said. "You look like you've just spoke to a serial killer."

"No..it's just that..He hasn't been getting any visits lately. Follow me."

The KK chief along with a few guards then escorted Rosa to another room which appeared to be an office of a bailiff. Karten then dialed a specific set of numbers in the telephone which then made a sound. Rosa was then shown that the sound was actually a small staircase opening up beneath the large desk in the center of the office.

The large staircase that was revealed still bore the same elegant architectural style as the rest of the building with the stair handles being immaculately decorated. As the entourage descended in the staircase, it was shown to actually lead to a large room which lead to many different tunnels.

The foreign ministress scanned the sights around her as they walked into a random tunnel which also lead to many metallic doors. The place was barely lit with weakly light fluorescent lamps in the ceiling but most of the light came from the floor which had many glowing lines, the same luminescent lines were studded across the walls, and the walls themselves were metallic and chrome, something which looked like it was ripped off straight out of a Tron movie. "What is this place?" Rosa asked wanting to know more about the alien nature of the place.

Karten sighed knowing it was time he was about to give a long lecture about the history of the place. "2 years ago, during the final years of the five year revolution, Terten then commanded the KK through a secret architectural endeavor which was supposed to build a network of military defense tunnels underneath the city as well as bunkers, hangars, concentration camps, war factories and research facilities all under the guise that this was just some massive geological survey by Phivolcs*."

The entourage then stopped walking as they reached a dead end of the tunnel with a large metallic door. The door then slid open upon voice command by Karten which revealed a large deep cavity on the other side which was filled with railway tunnels and scaffolding. The door was connected to the end of a random railway which had a small train cart with roofing and windows about the size of a pickup truck.

"Come aboard!" Karten said opening the door to the train cart. Rosa then peeked around seeing there was a small 2 feet gap between the door and the train cart which was a deep chasm and by the looks of it, had not end but darkness.

"Help me across, i have a fear of heights!" Rosa squealed before a bunch of tanods came to the rescue to assist her on board the cart.

"Watch your step tanods, last time 2 years ago, 2 people fell off into the chasm and we couldn't find their bodies because the chasm was too deep, even with helicopters."

Finally, everyone was on board the train cart and took off from the platform and through the rail.

"Continuing..." Karten cleared his throat. Rosa was busy scanning the surroundings and being awed by it. Selenite crystals and shiny crystalline stalactites protrude from the ceiling which was like a hundred meters above them.

"As this tunnel system was created, we discovered this ancient cavern system which formed a large pentagram after further scanning it. It's tips stretches from Manila, Cavite and then Bataan while it is centered somewhere in the Manila bay. We also discovered that in the caverns were a bunch of tombs arranged systematically. We studied the tombs showing they were actually arranged in DNA sequence and only god knows why. But all we know is that this thing exists and it is creepy but also the most convenient way to hide our most secret facilities."

Rosa was disappointed by the explanation wanting to know more about the place and it's mysterious nature. She knew a shady man like Terten was up to something given these kinds of places.

"I want to know more!" Rosa pouted.

"Well, what's also disappointing is that a lot of documents in this place are hidden somewhere i don't know and Terten is so intent in hiding them that he has already ordered scores of people killed in relation to this project. Of course, being the guy that does only nothing but follow orders, i didn't exactly bother to question him as much as i want to..."

The KK chief clenched his fists looking away. "It's a great idea that you asked me about this place...I'm going to make this as part of 2nd round of interrogation."

The trip was so long that there was enough time for the entourage to play card games and for Rosa to score a few victories over Karten in chess. And one would know the trip from their starting point in rail to the edge of the rail was so long given that Rosa barely even wins against anybody in chess. They finally arrived at their location where the railway had ended and the cavern seemed to have shrunk into a small cave. They then stepped off the cart into a platform where there was another giant metal door which opened after Karten gave a voice command.

The opened door then revealed another tunnel which had many doors, the entourage then entered one of the random metallic doors which was revealed to be a room where there were seats onlooking a glass window which had nothing but a white room that held Terten, who had his back turned towards them sitting on the stool still playing the piano.

The bespectacled man behind the glass window then stopped his playing and turned towards their direction giving a warm smile. "Well, well, well...if it's that treacherous KK chief once again and who is this that comes along with you...?"

"It's me Rosa..." The foreign ministress blankly said giving the former punong a dark look.

"Ah! Rosa my child... Finally, i was expecting to see you here as i reveal the following chapters of my revelation.." Terten then gave a chuckle crossing his legs and continued smiling as he faced them.

"Cut the crap..." Karten hissed. "We'll proceed with the 2nd round of the interrogation and we're done with you...Who are you?”

As Karten asked the question the bespectacled man burst into a loud laughter slapping his thighs in delight. “What kind of stupid question is that? Everyone knows me! I am Erin Terten, the punong which you once supported and now had overthrown TANGA!”

"He's attitude is much worse than before...sheesh" Rosa mumbled under her breath.

The KK chief simply shook his head. “Why did you spoke about your ‘visions’? Are you planning to incite another group of people to follow you?”

“No, I am simply saying the truth.” The man with the glasses grinned as he shrugged.

Karten, Rosa and the agents raised their brows. “The some crazy crap you’re saying for something we should all call ‘truth’.”

“The 'truth' is, the plan is already in effect.” Terten smirked.

“What plan?” Karten was starting to get frustrated asking questions after question not getting clear answers.

This was the time Terten's smile melted as he said with a serious tone. “The revelation...”

Karten sighed as he thought he was going to get an answer only to ask one more question. “What… revelation?”

“A revelation that will change mankind forever, one that will overcome abrahamic religions and instill a new world order. An irreversible storm is coming.”

Meanwhile in the western sector.

Former palace of the Soviets, bayan administration building,
Bucharest, Western sector

Unlike in the bayan's kapitalia islands, things were relatively calm in the western sector which was under the even hand of the autocratic administration of its gobernador heneral Raul Davis. People overall prospered as they remained untouched by the anti and pro Terten sentiments and had minded their own businesses but there were signs that this was going to change. It was inevitable for Davis to get involved in the struggle regarding the Terten dilemma, the dilemma in which Filipino politicians have to deal with, how to deal with Terten's latest actions which had lead to people starting pseudo religious groups surrounding Terten's latest teachings and how to deal with pro-Terten officials who were disobedient of the new regime simply because they had a fiery loyalty for their former punong.

In the western sector however, the Terten dilemma had far lesser implications (apart from the potential of Tertenites from infiltrating the population) since everyone in the western sector saw Davis's leadership as separate from that of the bayan and was neither loyal to Terten nor to the new regime of Adriano. In fact, there were rumors that Davis was planning to expand the western sector and declare autonomy so he could run the territories under his control as a separate nation yet equally powerful with the kapitalia islands.

The rumors started to materialize as Davis convened the bayan officials of the western sector ranging from representatives in Qeshm, Yemen, Mariupol and Romania in the administration palace (a building which was once called the palace of the Soviets before Romania was conquered) in Bucharest.

"Ladies and gentlemen... Mabuhay!" Chanted the gobernador heneral while raising a fist.

The Romanians amongst the council replied with chants of mixtures of the words"Trăiască!" and its Filipino counterpart "Mabuhay!" along with clenched fist salutes while the supposedly Yemeni representatives shouted "Tahya!" which roughly translates to the arabic counterpart of the Filipino salute.

Davis then signaled everyone to sit down. "Alright, today we are here grouped together to discuss about reform."

One of Romanian representatives raised her hand and asked. "Vet kind of reform is zat ve are talking about? If you esk me it should be something thet will benefit all the people of all the bayan vest, not just Filipinos in Romania. Ve shouldn't be treated as second class citizens any longer..."

The Romanians nodded in agreement and applauded.

Davis agreed. "I agree, but how are we to properly unite the multicultural bayan in the name of progress if many of us speak different languages?" Davis paused to think before an idea popped in his head.

"Okay, how about let's adopt English?" Immediately, a bulk of the council booed and gave thumbs downs. "Fine! Fine! Everyone sit down!"

"Clearly, we cannot continue speaking Filipino since the language could only be understood by a few in the bayan west." Davis sat in his chair and rested his head on his arms as he ran out of ideas and hesitated to retain current official language of the western sector, tagalog, as this would only make ethnic tensions boil and ignite in another unnecessary war and under Davis's watch, he vowed there would be no war but rather the opposite, unity and prosperity.

"Arabic is only spoke by Yemen as well as the Muslims..." Basanes, Davis's right hand woman said which only made the gobernador heneral's anxiety deepen further.

"In the Hukbo, we are trained not to fear. I don't feel fear, rather, i feel worry. I am worried about what will happen to the bayan west if we keep things as they are... The last thing that i want for my people is a terrible civil war."

Davis then decided this was not the time to discuss for a new lingua franca for the bayan west as he thought there were more pressing things in the discussion for reform. "I had thought of last night that we would need a new name if we are to become a self determined people who will progress not under the bayan, but rather, with the bayan. We should need a new name. No longer is the western sector just some other province under the Philippine republic. No, i think, we should call ourselves....I freaking have no idea." Davis then mused for a name.

"Romania...Yemen... Iran..These are the only three major territories of the western sector." He thought.

"Romania...Yemen..Iran..." Davis started to mumble.

"Royemiran..." He said the names of the three regions faster than last time.

"Romiran..."

"Romiran.."

"Romiran..." Davis said before a light bulb finally flashed above his head and decided this could be the name they could use.

"Romiran!" Davis stood up with a finger pointed up. Only a few seconds have passed and the council immediately agreed.

"Yeah! Sounds cool!" "Exquisite name!" "Edgy..." They said with some applauding at the birth of what seems to be a new nation based in Bucharest.

"MABUHAY ROMIRAN!" Davis rose up from his seat to give a clenched fist salute.

The radioes, the televisions, the papers all over of what is now known as "Romiran" were all flooded with the news of announcements that the entire conglomerate of territory

M E N S A H E - N G - G O B E R N A D O R - H E N E R A L

BAGONG LIPUNAN HYMN - Hymn of human progress

---

Mabuhay to all peoples of the bayan from Bucharest to Aden, from Mariupol to Bandar Abbas.

TEXT PROCLAMATION AS APPROVED BY THE FIRST COUNCIL OF THE BAYAN OF ROMIRAN

When the course of human history shifts, it is necessary for men to evolve along with the growing trends lest they not be sweft away by the winds of fate who would do so to anyone who foolishly tries to resist the current of its wishes and plans. In accordance with the new order of democracy, modernity and freedom, it is just, right and proper for us to respect the wishes of the people and consider their point of view as legitimate as the current situations in which they are currently undergoing would legitimize their place to say what would be comfortable for them.

These truths impel the bayan in the western sector to say it simply proper for them to stand up for their situation and say the status quo in the region is unjust and so it demands change in the way the people dictate whilst still in accordance with what is necessary for man kind to be in line with the current truths such as the determination to stay in the path of societal evolution which continues to drive us forward and improve the very character and stature of the human soul. That truth is called, progress which we would forever remain acquainted to and must be loyal with. Thus the western sector of the bayan declare its autonomy with the Asigna party of Manila and say we would dictate what policies would be proper for us to be able to move forward. The authorities stationed in Manila should only look forward to administer day to day situations in their own zone wherareas, the people of the western sector, which proudly now calls itself as the bayan of Romiran will administer their own day to day businesses and dictate that we can be great in our own way.

But certain truths must also be realized such as there should be the right time for certain provisions to take place for it is not proper for the spire of the building to be placed while its concrete foundations are still in the process of construction. Certain rights should still not be blessed in areas where the human society has still not matured enough for full progress to take place. The blessings of democracy cannot still fully exist in Romiran for it is still in the stage where the unity of this bayan cannot be upheld by a people culturally and geographically divided.

The bayan of Romiran therefore builds itself on the following dogmas.

-It is established as an military autocratic regime whose army stands to serve as the beacon and the defender of the country's sovereignty, without the army, Romiran is destroyed. So it is in the interests of the bayan of Romiran to strengthen its army thereby strengthening the nation.
-The bayan of Romiran pledge full unconditional allegiance to its autocrat the gobernador heneral.
-It is necessary for Romiran to be geographically united to support the unity of the minds who share the same ideals of progress. This will be done through several military operations, and international ventures that will be done in the near future. We cannot assure that violence shall be excluded in accordance in the establishment of this plan.
-It is in the best interest of Romiran to encourage its people to do great things therefore, institutions, facilities will all be built in the name of encouraging private ventures of technological innovation.
-It is also in the best interest of Romiran to reestablish itself culturally in order to pave way for the new progressive nation. Therefore, this shall involve total remodeling of the local cultures so it can be in line with the unity of the new nation.
-The nation of Romiran, though its desire for self determination does not see the bayan as a master, rather as its roots and partner.

Mabuhay!

---

The speech was met with mixed reactions, but only so little outrage could be expressed as the declaration of the new bayan was used by gobernador heneral Davis as a way to increase the power of the KK throughout Romiran tearing apart groups who were accused of "plotting terrorism" and "sabotage" the establishment of the new nation. The celebration was also marked by the burning of sites that are deemed as "no longer necessary by humanity" which included churches of certain villages across Romanian Romiran.

Davis, at the administration palace however concluded that the reforms would not only end up in the establishment of the new nation but rather, a repeat of the five year revolution which Terten had once undertaken in the Philippines. Continuing the convention of the council in the meeting hall, he gave a speech.

"Today, we would no longer be Romania, Yemen, Iran or Mariupol. We would only be, Romiran, a new beginning for our people in which the mistakes of the past would never be repeated out of the primitive divisons of race or whatever...

Those who would try to send us back into the past by bringing up the conflicts that we need not to deal with once again would perish while those who welcome the new order which is dictated by fate and the principles of an ever changing world shall be accepted and shall continue to exist as the life that adapts with its environment shall live while those who try to resist the change shall die and go extinct. Mabuhay!"

And the crowd fanatically replied. "Mabuhay!" "Mabuhay!" "Mabuhay!" "Mabuhay!" "Mabuhay!"

Many priests in the Romiran and religious leaders feared they would soon be targeted by the following policies as the regime in the new nation began to become increasingly hostile towards religion even though they don't directly state said anti religious agenda. The first of the anti religious policies came when religious parties were banned and violation of said policy was punished with an absurd fine of $10¹⁰⁰ which if not paid for (this was obviously always the case), would be punishable by life in prison for "indoctrination" and "manipulation".

Several laws were also passed heavily scrutinizing the introduction of "abrahamic religion" in schools and the universities that resisted had their relieved of their jobs and the publishing of thousands of anti religious articles as well as lectures in universities by visiting intellectuals who preached about humanist rationalism, the progressivist vision and the call for the youth to reconsider the value of "tradition" which they again and again say was holding the nation back from being truly great with values "arresting" their potential.

Unlike Adriano, who preached that religion must be destroyed through tight policies (and yet strangely enacted no such policy when he rose to power), Davis advocated for another approach to annihilating religion. He claimed that if religion was to be destroyed, a replacement must first be introduced, and such replacement would compel people that it is better than the current mentalities they possess, such views he had been given by a circle of intellectuals that surrounded him as his circle of friends.

Davis had many intellectual friends ranging from scientists, sociologists, doctors as well as military experts. And he was much more delighted with their company than the Asigna party officials whom he described as "went only by the words of Terten and are simply empty political characters with nothing more to add" and said "they are no different from the religious faithful" which then prompted him to relieve the majority of the Asigna party politicians and replacing them with technocrats.

The replacement of the Asigna government with a neutral technocracy coincided with the rise of project proposals from every corner of the government, ranging from new infrastructural projects of new unconventional designs, particularly in the power and transportation sector to launching international groups sharing technology and encouraging free trade of designs of military and civilian innovation. Davis had to arrange his own cabinet in order to aid him in the regulation of the approval of said projects but after realizing it was too much for the government to bear, he gave full freedom for the local government units to execute their own projects but on the condition that they have to fund their own projects and ask help from the central government only when necessary requiring only a few projects to be scrutinized by Davis and his cabinet.

Amongst the projects was a secret endeavor undertaken by the Hukbo in Bandar Abbas to reverse engineer the Cuscatlani Santa Anna - class carriers which might be helpful in the future regarding knowing the Cuscatlani technological capabilities. 2 Replicas were secretly build under a large blanket of artificial fog in a shipyard and several weak points were being determined as well as consistencies in the level of technological edge Cuscatlan puts in its armory, digital equipment and others.

Back at the Kapitalia islands, in Mt. Apo, where a secret Kalihiman base was operating underneath the ground, the Kalihiman kept a close watch whether or not that the "Romiran project", a social experiment by Adriano which will determine what will be the best way to "erase cultures" and replace them with "more desirable ones" would succeed or not. Methods by Adriano included communal isolation (which was done by isolating select villages without the villagers knowing and offering a fake sense of connection with the outside world by fake information and media as well as Kalihiman agents who would act as people who were going to and fro the villages) with the largest of these isolation experiments being done in the small town of Săcele, which was the main base to experiment what is the best way to promote intelligence or stupidity amongst the populace, control the population during times of chaos, mind control the population through the subtlest of means and totally remold their culture in the fastest way while being as commonly subtle as possible. Normal people were not allowed to get in and out of the town after it was under the false impression that it was being quarantined for some kind of "degenerative neurological disease" called 600 HE, a fake disease.

Meanwhile in Aden

The entire city was literally a massive construction site, with the entirety of the city covered with running factories, buildings. They were however, not projects of the Davis regime, but rather, private venture projects made by rich investors who were interested in making the city grow into a hub of trade, industry, science and technology in the Arabian peninsula's south.

But there was no promise that the struggle for progress in the Arabian peninsula would always be marked by methods of peace, because in coordination with Bashria contacts, Davis was planning to invade Oman and this plan was no joke. In the secret war council room at the administration building back at Bucharest, Davis along with Henerals Meier and gobernador heneral Salazar were planning for the decisive plan to expand the Romiran.

Salazar, along with Meier and some guest military strategist and analysts started to plot for OPLAN bagyong bakal (literally iron hurricane), the plan to invade Oman.

Some 3 hukbo kors were transferred into Yemeni soil, two of the kors were stationed in the directly northeastern most frontier of Yemen and Oman while the last kor would be distributed throughout Yemen to be responsible for its defense. The artillery squads were all stationed in the border.

“Cut the shit… Just get to the point. What plan are you talking about?” Karten hissed making Terten shake his head.

“Let me give you a hint. I am imprisoned but I am also free.”

“Huh?” Everyone was starting get disappointed. "Will you stop being vague?" Said Rosa.

“You will kill me here but elsewhere I remain alive to spread the revelation.” Terten said.

“You don’t believe me? I will kill myself right now and in a few moments time I shall appear to showcase my revelation.”

“Oh no you don’t, not with your having no way to commit suicide you don't get to die...” Karten said looking around at the formidable solidity of the structure that was locking up the bespectacled former punong.

"We'll see." Terten smirked.

Asigna Capital Airport:
The privite jet touched down at the airport. It carried two dignitaries from A.D.F.R. Nicko Beleco was the head of the Directorate Foreign Policy Committee. An sprightly man in his mid 30s who was no more than average looking man. He looked more like a bodyguard then an foreign minister. Next came Sarah Garcia Senior Adviser to the Trask Administration and woman who looked like your typical bureaucrat. Short , glasses, slim and perky. Although he made it a point to make sure her hair was always immaculately combed where ever he went. With them came a small team wearing suits, pistols hiding underneath their jackets. That was their private security, two of them being flamboyant themselves.

A few black armored SUVs from the Alaskan’s embassy to pick them up. Manned by even more Alaskan security. It made sense to hire locally given their knowledge of the area and the country's well stocked supply of combat veterans. They all now officially worked for a Alaskan private security firm that in turn was contracted by the federal government and registered with Asigna as the security force for all Bayan diplomats in country. Bayan attracted them with lucrative contracts combined with a relatively less eventful job than they were use to guarding airports, government infrastructure, VIPs and corporate facilities.

Soon enough the small convoy sped off towards the punungan palace obeying all the traffic laws. Nicko smoked a cigarette in his car while flipping through the messages in his phone. There were many matters he had to attend to for the Trask Administration's Senior Adviser played a much more active role in government than his title might convey. Nicko brokered deals and kept the wheels turning. Unofficially he was one of the most powerful men in A.D.F.R. Not an advertised fact but Bayan intelligence service probably figured out as much by now. Especially given his previous record in the Federation Intelligence Service and having been forced to resign for unknown reasons. Today he was wearing a three piece gray suit to make up for the hot sunny weather. Alaska contrast was in a very snowy and temperate area with little sunshine throughout the northern region , while south of the country is damp and dry.

Sarah was a different story. A sharp minded woman who was friendly and talkative. She wore a woman's pants suit and looked like a warm old lady who never failed to spoil her grandchildren which she was. Like most high ranking Alaskans officials she hailed from the private sector having spent years as an executive as a civil rights activists. The Directorate felt she would make an excellent diplomat in this instance. They arrived without any incident as expected. As soon as Nicko stepped out he stopped to light up another cigarette which made Sarah frown. At the entrance their security stayed behind while Sarah and Nicko .walked forth to greet whomever they would be speaking with.

Palacial Punungan Complex
Manila, Philippines

Ríona O'Brien was the Secretary of External Affairs, she was responsible for the administration of the Department of External Affairs and reported directly to the President himself. She was not only responsible for diplomacy, but also foreign intelligence (through the Agency of External Intelligence). However on this trip, she was a diplomat. Representing the Ardokian government, in the hopes of establishing closer ties with the government of the Philippines and hoped that friendly relations could be developed with the Filipino Asigna Party.

When O'Brien landed in Manila, she went through border security and was picked up by a car from the Ardokian embassy which immediately took her straight to the Palacial Punungan Complex for the dinner party. She and her entourage were unarmed and were not hiding any other prohibited items such as secret cameras or listening devices, they had no reason to spy on the Filipinos. O'Brien mingled with the other guests, Filipino and foreigner alike. She drank the blue liquid, was surprised at the lack of taste, but did not worry as she did not believe the Filipinos would risk poisoning her.

O'Brien thanked Adriano for her glass of wine. She was the first to speak. "For those who are not familiar with me, I'm representing the Greater Empire of Ardoki. I would personally like to thank Adriano and all others who had a part in putting on this lavish dinner party. It has been brilliant so far. I would also like to express the sympathy my government has with the government and people of the Philippines, who were so unjustly and savagely attacked by the forces of reaction. Though I'm sure the interests of both our countries can be discussed at a later date, I wouldn't want to bore the other delegates here tonight." She took a sip of wine. "But I'm sure most of us he would like to know of the Bayan's official position of the treasonous rebellion of the warlord Raul Davis, who has recently announced the independence of the western Bayan territories under his autocratic control? What is your official stance and what will your response entail?" She said, awaiting for a reply or perhaps interjections from other delegates.

Central Defense Control Complex, Jingnan, Yinan District, Xingfu Province

The command centre for peacetime use was darkly-lit, although this was because the shadowy military figures inside were all reluctant to switch on the the main lights.

"To make ourselves look more mysterious, I decided to have the main lights off."

The group of mysterious military figures were in fact hardcore, fanatical, die-hard, zealous hardliners, led by a mysterious man only known as "The Elder Brother", who himself is a vice marshal in the ZPA Air Force. In fact, the mysterious group simply calls themselves "The Brotherhood", which itself is a Kaiming Chuantong movement.

"As we all know, that filthy, degenerate place called the Philippines is up to no good, as always. Since Filipinos themselves are a species of subhumans, we should quickly start The Hunt for the Philippine Eagle already."

"But Elder Brother, Filipinos are cool, it's just their shit cultural-marxist government is filled with subhumans."

"Shut up monkey lover. I'm not in the mood for degenerate monkey businesses."

Elder Brother quickly grabbed a document from under the desk and smacked it into the surface.

"Gentlemen, I was able to acquire the complete file for the plan. This document is top secret. Luckily, I'm allowing everyone here to see it and read the plan."

Hexie, Kangsong District, Yanhai Province

A crowd had gathered in front of a Philippine restaurant to see what happened. They saw what appeared to be a Zhouranese man and his Filipina wife, hanged in front of their restaurant. Their faces horribly bloated and purple, their bodies left naked and showing various cuts and bruises. Their eyes were bulging and their mouths were wide open. The man had a placard on his neck saying "I married a monkey subhuman to poison my Kangyuli bloodline" in both Putonghua and Tagalog, while the woman had a placard that said "I am an animal who is trying to poison the Kangyuli race" in both Putonghua and Tagalog. A group of masked men from a Kaiming Chuantong group were responsible for this, but their identities remain unknown.

The Filipino-Zhouranese were shocked. Despite the fact that most Filipino-Zhouranese were nationalistic and patriotic for Zhouran, this did not sway the opinions of those who hate them. Even Filipino-Zhouranese individuals who are Military-Oriented Nationalist and part of various Kaiming Chuantong movements became worried. There were full-Kangyuli hardliners who believe that the Filipino-Zhouranese should be treated fairly for having "superior Kangyuli warrior blood", but then there were those who want the Filipino-Zhouranese eliminated for "trying to poison the clean, pure blood of the world's most powerful and cleanest race."

Smirnov smoked a e-cigar to celebrate the moment and was awestruck by the paegentry of the hologram while Ivanova was ambivalent about the holograms and then said to Adriano "The Dervistonian reactionaries have made a foolish and suicidal decision to declare war on a hyperpower like Dewhurst-Narculis and the Whiteshorians are supporting the IGDDN against Hartley's lunacy and ignorance in the name of progress. In other news, I think that Tarkan is also being a bit belligerent against my country and we would be interested in new trade and military cooperation deals as well."

*** Fujian: 170435HOTELSEP15

It was without doubts that Asignese yet again had their mad dreams - a dreams that were not new. In fact, they existed since the dawn of time. Each great conqueror dreamed of uniting the world under his rule. Alexander the Great for this reason attacked Persia. Genghis Khan for this reason let loose his Mongol hordes. For this reason Napoleon embarked on conquest of entire Europe. Hitler dreamed of a thousand year reich and sent his armoured divisions onto massive conquest. Any man who knew history would be fully aware that there was no chance than in 21st century yet another emanation of this wild dream will not arise. On the contrary, all who knew the circumstances knew also that this will get just worse, because the sort of tyrants of Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte or Adolf Hitler will put it's hand on modern technology which would carry their soldiers from one edge of the globe to another in few hours, propaganda networks that will make entire world hear their voice, or weapons with such power that none will dare to oppose them.

Their kin however always encountered resistance. Alexander was hit at India; Mongol horde stopped under Legnica; Bonaparte broken under Waterloo and Hitler committing suicide in his bunker in Berlin. For they failed to see that to build one world... they will have to destroy the old. To preserve the old world, this was the noblest fight of all. And today, the Nihonese were going to fulfil their divine destiny put in motion by Heavenly Father of Abraham several years before.

Theme

Inside the naval HQ in Fujian, Gensui kaigun taishō (Marshal - Admiral) Tachibana Yoshito looked slowly at the map of pacific ocean around Filipino Islands, then moved his eyes on Indonesia and below, then to Burma, then to Persian gulf. For him, the bigger Empire Asignese had, more fun he is going to have by destroying it. A calm smile appeared under his moustache. In his heart admiral was a calm and good man; but one who never tolerated injustice. Asignese were now killing his fellow Christians, and other innocent people. The time came to teach them yet again that free world is not to be messed with.

Seconds later, a short message was forwarded to Organized States (OOC: he confirmed his entry into this thread) naval HQ.

A single Type KR 487 SSN was slowly passing through depths of the Atlantic ocean, returning from one of routine patrols. Yet as it cruised on depth of - 150m, below the thermocline, on speed of 26 knots, still camouflaging it's advent, a simple message on VHF frequency made the crew go mad. Captain Murakami Ichinose, slowly wiped out sweat from his head. Two months ago he married a beautiful girl, and even days ago in Quirnese port he received information that she was pregnant. It was obvious that he would prefer to be with her and share her joy, but he knew too well that Nihon was more important than his personal happiness. When one of junior LTs handed him message, he grabbed his personal matrix and authenticated. The result was match. After slowly sighing, the Nihonese captain read the message again.

Murakami knew that this could be the worst case scenario. This was a thing he would not want to hear. War could left his child as an orphan and his wife as a widow. But duty is duty; and thus, after given orders, the submarine gotten at depth of - 17m and extended communications mast, which passed through the surface of the water. What they heard there frozen the blood in their veins, and confirmed worst expectations of Captain Murakami.

They were to head to Indian ocean... then a TAOR was assigned to them for eventual war against Asigna. A carrier group was to follow the path of submarines. Though war was not declared yet, SATINT confirmed increased movement of Asignese forces in Yemen; and thus, The Empire of Greater Nihon wanted to have forces in the region ready to hit Asignese when they move.

*** Pacific Ocean: 170435HOTELSEP15

High above the pacific ocean, in the darkness of space, a single gleaming metal eye turned ton Asigna. A Nihonese imagining satellite slowly zoomed at areas that were known to SACTO intelligences to be nests of Asignese military, taking photos and forwarding them to Fujian. RORSATs and electronic satellites were also directed towards that area. While it will take hours to reach that area, each satellite was officially a commercial one, often didn't even registered in Nihon. Intelligence gathering commenced on massive scale.

Tokkeitai was first to prepare. For network of their agents, a series of false identities, often not Nihonese, would be created. Then said agents would enter Asigna to recruit all sorts of traitors and undermine security of Timente's regime.

As for Alaskan navy, they were passing close to Nihonese Nihonese - held territory on pacific, roughly 1000km south-east from Vladivostok. While said territory was not big, being of the size of Taiwan, it was also enormous military fortress.

And whole world trembled at the sound of the drums of war.

Flag Officers Conference Room

"I don't know about this, we are making preparations at home, Holland, Poland. Now this damned rot in the back of SACTO as it were." The two Navy officers sat across the table from each other. The commander of the Pacific fleet, Rodney Keiran faced RKIN commander Robert Shang, the asiatic man nodded. He was loyal to the King who stood staring out at the conference room from the Naval Painting. One of numerous portraits painted of the Monarch that adorned various instillations, the king was so young, a grim faced man with such a youth about him. Keiran looked at the portrait, Shang snapped him out of his revery. "We have our orders to do what we must to fight the foe, the Assignese threat is quite bad. The man Terten is a threat to the Empire, he will come back, the interim Government of Adriano or whoever he is won't be enough." Shang knew that the Kaisong islands were the Easternmost outpost of the Empire. The Raj lay further to the East along with Mizev and the other states. The Pacific fleet was the holder of a massive amount of territory. The Kaisong Islands Defense Force with the Royal Kaisong Islands Navy being one of the largest. To the south lay Arisal and New Ildris and the colony of the Kildiri islands. All had powerful fleets but the Kaisong islands was a very large fleet. They had the task to assist Japan and they had failed off Taiwan with the PRC waging a blitzkrieg. Then again, the Pacific was vast.

"So what does the Admiralty have for us Shang old buddy?" Kieran was a grim man, thick and muscled like most sailors. He showed spots of grey and there was peppering in the short beard he wore. He had been promoted with Peterson being farmed out to Europe or was it Afrolia or Africa. Anyway what mattered was the situation, the defense of the Islands and the counter offensive towards the enemy. Asngia had a reputation as a nation that was quite inept. They used Armored Recovery vehicles in a front line role. The two admirals did not care about the land war. They were preparing for a war at sea. They discussed the situation. They began to look over the maps. The Mcnernian Royal Navy had serious things to smash a foe over the head with from the small strike frigates to the massive carriers. "Well Rodney my friend, the situation is all right for a major war scenario." And what a scenario the Mcnernians envisioned. There was a lot that could happen, the Nihonese were going to be a key assistant force. They were allies and thusly they were duty bound to assist the Nihonese should they call for assistance.

In the end the two Admirals hashed out a plan. They would not put surface forces in port on alert. They had plenty of fleet boats that were out in the deep. The task was a serious thing that would have to be done. Yemen, various other places were a dangerous cyst of the influence. The Admiralty sent out the order to the pacific fleet and the pacific fleet sent the order out to the submarines that were in the depths of the ocean. The message was sent.

Off South Africa

A single Lanchev B class submarine was on patrol, the Mcnernian Royal Navies Pacific Fleet had the Indian Ocean squadron to answer to it. The big boat was running at 15 knots and was below the layer heading north towards Mozambique. The submarine that was out here could handle everything from SIGINT to hunting ships. South Africa had been a geopolitical interest and the use of submarines was something that the MRN was good at. The Ncnernian nuclear fleet was described as a miracle of technology and was a point of pride for the men and women who were moving the ships about the depths of the ocean. The commander of the submarine was one Commander Roland Myden, the man was a grim sort of person. The business of the patrol that they had been asigned was a hard one. The South Africans were not one of the best of friends. The commander sat in his room writing a Log entry, Naval tradition was still present. The log entry was filled out. Nothing to Report. Merchant traffic and not much else.

"Captain, flash VHF." Came over the intercom.

"On the way." The commander rose out of his chair and opened the door, he walked through the halls of the ship passing the crew. He looked at the people. They were his people and they were his responsibility. The captian appeared in the CIC. The duty officer called it. "Commander in the Conn ATTEN-SHUN." "At ease." he looked to his communications officer. The man looked back. "VHF, priority markings." "Ill take it in my quarters." "Yes commander." The man returned to his quarters.

He remembered how his crew was at the wedding. He looked at the picture on his wall. "Xi, Xi Yan." He looked at the girl from a decent family. A Taiwan refugee girl who had been working in a Dai-Kuong bar because the PRC seized her daddies assets. He looked at the picture. A Navy salary would not be much for a woman. He tapped the intercom and told the XO to take the ship up. He looked at the picture she had sent him. it was a personal thing. She stood smiling with her shirt rolled up. Her belly was flat but she was smiling. She was pregnant. She had a big sister.

The order was simple, assume position in Yemen off the Scottras until a TAOR could be sent. There were other submarines being stood up and there would be a carrier group or two.

Over the Pacific, MRN IMGSAT

The big metallic object had been birthed from the rocket that had borne her into the skies over the Pacific. The unit was a very advanced watcher. She was built with the cameras that were needed to spot ships in the open Pacific because that ocean was a vast thing. The Navy needed to know the situation and one such thing was a imaging satellite that could see the world move below. She looked down at the vast world below. The vessel would be a witness to a great many things.

On Setzusoku social network, 22.09.2015 propaganda video was released by Nihonese Hacker Group "Cybersentai" aligned to National Restoration Party. Soon millions of trolls begun reposting this video on many networks, giving them millions of likes and spreading it around like wildfire.

ADRIANO TIMENTE: "To those who strike us, we say we will rather not turn the left cheek for them, as for strength, pride and power, we strike them back!"

---

VOICE: Not far from now, an anniversary of terrible crime committed on innocent Chinese population of the Philippines will come. On 12 October, inspired by broadcasts by the same old clique that rules now, various brainwashed Filipino vigilantes went forward to murder innocent Chinese whose only crime was that they were in the Philippines. It was well known that this operation was nothing more than political purge, considering that many politicians up to that time had Chinese ancestry. But for Terten to eliminate his political opponents, terrible price had to be paid. While Asignese government claims that less than 200 were killed, it is estimated by both domestic and Filipino groups that at least 20 000 people were murdered by Terten's death squads, with estimations going up to one million by some figures.

---

PROSECUTOR: "Standing before you is a man who is being held responsible for political corruption particularly plunder, forceful removal of the opposition through acts of violence, betrayal to the people, waging undeclared wars in countries not sanctioned by the people resulting in tens of thousands of deaths of Filipino soldiers, particularly those wars in South Rothinzil and other parts of the world during the SACTO war and finally, committing unjust and heinous crimes against humanity which remain unpunished for this very day, particularly instigating the public to genocidal tendencies through demagoguery, human sacrifices, slavery and unwarranted civilian casualties sustained in airstrikes in innocent countries, Lebanon for example as well as supporting terrorism by bringing aid both lethal and no lethal to groups directly and indirectly supporting acts of terror, communist, fascist, Islamic as well as hard line self declared progressivists amongst others. The man accused...is no other than the former punong of the bayan, who has betrayed us all, Erin Terten..."

Erin Terten: Guilty as charged.... It is important for us to reconsider that indeed, the hatred for the Chinese was indeed, a way for us to unite with each other in solidarity for national strengthening. The revelation teaches me that i know there were other ways for people to work hard and make this country stronger and more united but that would take a whole generation. What i simply did in encouraging sinophobia was that i had made a catalyst for nationalism to exist and for this nation to have a proper incentive to progress. But that progress will not come without a price, for every miracle, there should be the same amount of despair that will be poured down unto humanity. This is in accordance to the universe's principle for entropy, for every spike in positive energy, there should be an equal trough of negative energy for the equilibrium of thermal energies to be maintained!"

---

Voice: But that was not over. Last Christmas, Terten resorted to kidnapping Maronite government, alongside with their Pope, for religious reasons, just because of his hate for conservatism.

---

TERTEN: "All gloves are off. I denounce the pope of Lebanon for splitting the Catholic church. Charbel Elias Boutros, the antichrist who calls himself pope has declared war on the true church that has long been there since the age of Peter the rock. His establishment of a church of hatred, intolerance and division is a step backward for all of humanity. His snake like tongue of deceit and unnecessary flame in language breeds violence and therefore, this establishment must be stopped."

---

VOICE: His intervention failed before it even begun. Asignese are not men - they do not have balls, they behave like women, and flee on first sight of incoming army. Such was the case of Burma. Such was the case of Lebanon. Asignese soldiers are good at massacring civilians, but not at fighting. They gotten encircled and slaughtered by brave SACTO soldiers, who besides superior fighting skills, had superior spine to women claiming to be men of Asignese army.

---

TIMENTE: The challenge is to keep on the spirit of fighting alive within us. For those of us who choose to fight without the spirit, by the higher realm, there can be no victory for you. The spirit is the ultimate battlefield and if you can conquer your own spirit, you can conquer the world!"

---

VOICE: They proven thrice to be cowards. They proven thrice to be worthless in combat. During two wars they haven't killed a single SACTO soldier, only allied militias. And yet they delude themselves that they have what it takes to face on the Samurai of the Blazing Sun...

Those days, they changed their target from Chinese to Christians. But it won't take long before they go against everything that opposes their progress - which is progress leading straight to hell. If they think that nations of the world want their progress, they are wrong. Nihonese with sword in the hand and cross on our neck will defend our religion, tradition and institutions from one - worldist menace that Terten - who is now building a cult - wants to create.

We won't stop until Terten's head has been placed on our katana.

We won't stop until our swords have drank Timente's blood.

We won't stop until last remnants of Asigna party are destroyed, and their leaders judged.

We won't stop - until NatPro is no more.

In this hour we call you, fellow people to whom values of tradition, patriotism, and general good coming from religion adheres to - join us and fight against Asignazis! Terten openly admits being inspired by Hitler. There is no time to loose, but many Asignazi are to loose their heads!



NO MERCY! NO REGRET!



JOIN THE CRUSADE!

<CREDITS PLAY WITH SONG>

"This is day of blood and glory,
Let day most glorious be,
Our names written in history
Will be written as enemies flee!
While September sun shines on sky
Enlightening squadrons glorious march
While bombers on Manila fly,
One command is given: Charge!

Hey, who with us draw your sword,
Freedom will be won today,
With bullet, blade or word,
Silenced will be "Muabuhay!"
Silenced will be "Muabuhay!"

"To Arms" sounds Timente's fearful call
But his fellows hide around
For their watched their units fall
On Burmese war - torn ground
And on Lebanese sandy soils
They were encircled and torn apart
But now, as our blood boils
Let them know it was just start!

Hey, who with us draw your sword,
Freedom will be won today,
With bullet, blade or word,
Silenced will be "Muabuhay!"
Silenced will be "Muabuhay!"

As their units in Burma were killed
Carrier's wrecks filled the sea
Even their own people willed
To get rid of Terten's tyranny
But the placed just new strawman
Timente who thinks he is great
Let him show that neither he can,
Defeat us, and death is his fate!



Hey, who with us draw your sword,
Freedom will be won today,
With bullet, blade or word,
Silenced will be "Muabuhay!"
Silenced will be "Muabuhay!"

They are nothing, not at all,
When it comes to fighting skill,
Let's answer the war call,
With one cry with one will,
Soon Asigna will again burn,
Timente's head will roll,
Terten will to ashes turn,
As the phi banner will fall!


Hey, who with us draw your sword,
Freedom will be won today,
With bullet, blade or word,
Silenced will be "Muabuhay!"
Silenced will be "Muabuhay!"
Hey, who with us draw your sword,
And Hukbo die from bullet and blade slash,
With bullet, blade or word,
Let Manila turn to ash!
Let Manila turn to ash!

"
