IC: It was just a another day for the people of Sickle Isles as they went about with their day to day affairs as children rush off to school eager to learn about their isles as well as the international world, but unknown to them a lone threat was just 30 miles offshore watching and waiting for the perfect time to strike. The Sickle Isles only had a 300 men militia to protect it from hostile invasions and takeovers which was trained on all sorts of warfare, however they would prove to be little resistance compare to the strike force which laid just off the coast. The bell for lunch finally rings at the local schoolyard as children rush to their lunchroom to receive their meals suddenly the building shakes causing everyone inside to stop what they are doing, and rush out of the building to see warplanes, and bombers flying overhead. The sight of the incoming planes cause mass panic to spread across the country as the Sickle Isles Defense Force(SIDF) prepared to launch a counterattack in order to beat back the incoming enemy air raid as the local population gather in their homes waiting for the all clear sign to come back out into the opening.

President Roman Thompson watched in shock from his office's window as the warplanes and bombers raced overhead leveling half of the capital city as they passed quietly wondering who was behind the attack on his peaceful nation as the Defense Minster walks into the room to inform the president of the latest deployments. "Sir the SIDF is preparing to launch a counterattack against the incoming enemy planes and bombers, but we are having a time discovering where they came from and why are they here attacking us" upon hearing the report about the counterattack all the president could do was nodded after all he was still in complete shock about the surprised air raid which leveled half of the cities and towns on the island archipelago. The only question that the president had in his mind was who the aircraft belong to, and why they ordered a savage attack on the once peaceful island nation

President Jasra Rashid sat quietly listening to her Defense Minister explain the attack on Sickle Isles wondering what kind of international heat would be focus on the United Arab Republics once the news of the raid was made public to the international community, which deeply concerned her but never the less her approval of the bombing and invasion of the Sickle Isles was popular among North Africans. Suddenly there came a knock on the door to the President's Office which caused the president to jump due to the fact, that she was no expecting any company since her husband went to bed little over an hour ago finally after a few short seconds trying to regain her composer she looked towards the door, and said "Who is it?" not long after speaking the question the prime minister's voice sounded from the other side "President Rashid the commander of our Air Force has just inform me that his planes, and bombers had success in bombing the Sickle capital city." the news made the President smile ear to ear wishing she could see the look on President Roman Thompson's face as North African planes, and bombers zoomed over head. The president was now pleased with the results in the bombing of Skylar walked quietly over to her window and stared out over the half empty streets of Rabat and wondered quietly to herself how the Sickle Defense Force(SDF) was organizing a counterattack to beat back the air assault, however they would soon get a big slap in the face when the 3rd Rifle, and infamous 143rd Armed Divisions comes a shore for the ground invasion soon the country would be under North African control and President Roman Thompson out of office.

Captain Chris Wikles looked quickly over the open shores waiting for the updates to come in from high command about the bombing of Skylar the prized capital city of the Sickle Isles, when a young corporal approached him "Sir we just received this telegram from General Benson it seems that our capital city has been heavy damaged in the surpize bombings he also informed us, that we are to hold this beach until further notice from either him or high command." upon hearing the updates the captain begin shaking his head "Damn you mean to tell me that our capital city was heavy damaged, and now we have to hold the beach until further notice?" after listening to the captain's concerns the corporal begin to nod his head "It seems so sir I just hope we will not see any trouble out here." Suddenly there was a explosion right next to the Command Bunker, which caused the captain and corporal to jump completely out of their skins as they rushed out to see what on earth was happening as they were walking out the door a older looking sergeant was coming in "Sir we are being bombard by incoming enemy shells also we just received word from high command, that a unknown naval force looms just offshore." the news sent a shiver down the captain's spine as he begin shaking his head "This day keeps getting better and better gentlemen first a surprize attack on our capital city now we have a unknown naval force sitting just off our shores well go, and inform the men to keep a sharp eye out on the approaching waters."

The Fleet Admiral was feeling very good about the upcoming battle as his ships pounded Sickle defenses on the White Sands Beach head, and decided that it was time to start the ground invasion so he turned to face the young colonel standing next to him, and begin to smile "It is time to begin the ground invasion my friend so go and prepare your forces for deployment." after receiving his orders the colonel turned, and walked towards the stairs leading back down into the Conscription. Officers and crew throughout the Conscription begin wondering about the effects of the upcoming ground invasion would be after all this was the United Arab Republics's first offensive war on it's record within the international community, after a long history of defensive wars defending friends, and allies from hostile invasions finally the order was giving by the Fleet admiral to go ahead, and begin the ground invasion of the Sickle Isles as troops ran for their respectable locations. A fleet of landing craft carefully set sail around the larger vessels, and begin their approach to the preset beach head which caused many of the troops on board feel a little nervous about weather, or not they were going to make it back to see their families still at home. Colonel Ahmed quietly sat back in his seat on board the lead landing ship, and smiled to himself no wonder why the federal government choose him to lead the invasion of the Sickle Islands after all he was one of the best officers in the North African military known for his steady nerves, and not braking under heavy enemy fire however he could not help himself, but to wonder what the federal government was planning to do with the island once it was captured by his invasion force. Suddenly the craft begin to shake a little rough, which symbolized that they were approaching the preset invasion point which caused the Colonel to stand, and walked back towards the Command area of the landing craft for a special announcement to his men and women "Attention troops this is Colonel Ahmed the overall commanding officer of this invasion force today you will be committing a great service to your homeland by invaded the hostile territory of Sickle Island. I know most if not all of you are a bit nervous about this campaign, but I can a sure you that you will not be alone on the battlefield my staff, and I will be right there with you throughout this possible long campaign not to mention you have the support of your government, and love ones back home now go forward, and make your homeland proud dismissed." Shortly after the transports departed from the main fleet the admiral order a all out assault on the Sickle defense line on the White Sand Beachhead with the intention to clear the way for the invasion force.

The moon was high in the sky over the SIDF line on White Sands Beach causing many SIDF soldiers to retire for the night after a long day of preparing the trenches for a possible enemy invasion, however back in the city Captain Wikles had a impossible time trying to get to sleep he could not stop thinking about his family back home in Skylar, and wondered if they were safe, and sound at a relatives house. Suddenly the phone on the table next to his bed started to ring, which caused the Captain shake his head as he lean over to pick it up "Wikles here I hope you have a good reason for calling me at this early hour." after a brief moment of silence the voice of his second in commander sounded on the other end "Sir our defensive lines on White Sands Beach is taking incoming enemy fire this could be the beginning of the actual invasion we need you back here now." hearing the concern in his friend's voice the Captain jump up out of the bed, and quickly gathered his uniform items before rushing out the door. When he reached the beach head Captain Wikles could not believe what he was seeing before his eyes as troops ran about trying to reach their assigned areas to return fire back on the incoming enemy forces as the Captain raced towards the Command Center.

President Ramon Thompson was seat at the head of the conference table listening to his War Minister, and generals argue among themselves on how to organize a better defensive line on White Sands Beach wondering to himself about, who was bold enough to attack the Islands in the first place. Suddenly there came a knock on the door to the Presidential Office causing all of the gathered military officials to turn towards it "Who is it now? We are very busy at this moment." after a few minutes of silence the Prime Minister's voice sounded from the other side "Sir our forces on the beach at White Sands is taking incoming enemy fire as we speak not to mention that one of our spotters managed to track seven incoming transport ships." upon hearing the news the President could not believe it, and finally realized that war has reached his homeland. Four hours seemed like a long time for the president as he continued to listening to his war minister's suggestions about how to deal with the incoming enemy vessels, finally he had enough of the fighting among his War Council so he decided to dismiss them until the following morning. Once the final official walked out the president got up, and walked quietly over to his office's window to look out over Skylar at the still smoking buildings, and roads hoping that the invasion force could be contained at the beachhead. Prime Minister Wallace quietly walked by the leading general in charge of the defense of White Sands, and asked him how his forces were doing in the battle and if they needed anymore supplies sent in to hold the beach. The General quietly looked at the Prime Minister for a moment then begin shaking his head "It does not look good for us Mr. Wallace after all the enemy has their fleet off the coast laying down covering fire for them. I suggest that you tell the president to send us additional armor to the beach defensive line, or we will not be able to hold it."

Colonel Ahmed stood quietly in front of the view port, and walked his troops storm a shore throwing the Sickle Islands Defense Force into a complete disarray, and panic giving the advantage to the invasion force. A flare was shot up into the air, which caused the colonel to look up with concern before turning to his second in command "My friend it seems that they are trying out the origin of the invasion force. We can not allow that to happen go, and remove our national flag off the top of the transport ship." When the order was finished the Colonel turned his attention back on the ongoing battle on the beach it seemed that his forces were getting the best of the local SIDF troops assigned to defend the beach from attack. Suddenly he noticed the enemy line starting to fall apart as SIDF troops begin pulling back towards the town of White Sands there for giving up the beach to his invasion force, which caused him to smile a bit. When the beach was fully secured by his troops Colonel Ahmed stepped out of the lead transport, and quietly looked around for a moment, before stepping up to a young officer "Major I want your force to finish securing the beach, while the main force continues to move inland hopefully we can capture the capital city before to long. I have requested additional forces from the mainland as soon as they get here make sure you inform the commander to go ahead, and move inland to the south while we move further north towards the capital."

Upon hearing the report from the front lines President Thompson just sat back, and begin shaking his head, before turning to look up at his ad visor "I guess this is the end of my administration, and a independent Sickle Islands. I will not continue to sit by, and watch my people died in this pointless war so go and arrange a meeting with the enemy commander." Shortly after receiving his orders the advisor got up, and walked out the door leaving the president alone in his office to wonder about the surrender, and just who he was surrendering to since the enemy was still unknown. Meanwhile the government official assigned to meet with the enemy was on his way to the hostile camp to discuss peace terms to end the conflict. When he finally reached the White Sands Occupied Zone he noticed men, and women running around the camp with a patch of a red flag with a gold eagle along with a yellow star.

Colonel Ahmed stood quietly around with his officers planning the upcoming attack on the city of White Sands, when a young private approached him "Sir a delegate from the Sickle Islands is here to meet with you about peace terms to end this conflict." Upon hearing the private's message Colonel Ahmed begin to smile, and wondered why they wished to surrender before the fighting actually started to get interesting "That is good news my friend please go, and tell their delegate come in. We have a lot to talk about ladies, and gentlemen will you please excuse me for a moment I have an important meeting to attend to right now." The other officers walked out the tent, while the colonel prepared for his meeting with the Sickle delegation. He was happy that the Sickle government was surrendering peacefully, without a fight now it was the time to focus on an military occupation until a transitional government is formed. The young private shortly returned with a older looking man in his late 50s, before getting down to business the colonel stood up, and introduce himself to the delegate "Greetings my friend I am Colonel Ahmed the commander of all North African troops stationed here in the Sickle Islands. I must say that I am very happy that your government choose to surrender peacefully rather then carry out a long, and bloody war." after hearing the colonel's statement the delegate shook his head, and could not believe he was here to surrender his beloved country to this man finally he decided to speak "Thank you for accepting my government's offer Colonel Ahmed after all your surprise attack on our country did leave our senior officials scratching their heads. Since I am here now on the orders of President Thompson shall we get down to business? Because my government would like to know the official outcome of this meeting once it is over, and done." Colonel Ahmed smiled once again at the Sickle diplomat, and nodded his head before speaking "My friend of course we can begin the meeting, and once again you are making the right choice by surrendering instead of fighting." the colonel's statement did little to resolve the diplomat's nerves, but never the less he had a job to do so he laid out the government's terms for the colonel to read before speaking again "President Thompson requests to remain in the country along with his wife, and three children they own a villa out in the countryside. They promised not to make trouble for the new order as long as they were able to remain here, and that colonel is the only term the government has for your nation." Upon hearing the diplomat's term Colonel Ahmed begin to smile once again, before nodding his head in agreement "I will see to it that President Thompson, and his family remain on the islands my friend you have my word now please return to yours I have an occupation to prepare for at this time."

General Ameera Hawas flew into the capital with a group of commandos, who's job was to capture the local power plant supplying the capital city, before moving into the city itself to capture President Roman Thompson along with his staff. The plan was abandoned after word of the surrender reached her unit, which amazed her finally she was not going to have to fire her gun at another human being. She received her orders to hold the city until the main life force managed to reach the city from the secured beach head, but she could not shake the feeling that once word of the invasion spread the United Arab Republics would be facing a international outcry. General Hawas walked quietly into the former Presidential Office, and looked around wondering about President Thompson's whereabouts before sitting down behind his desk. Her second in command approached her with a smile on his face, before handing her a radio it was Colonel Ahmed on the other end "General Hawas I just received word that your unit make it into the capital city, and not to mention that you are now in overall command of all operations in the Sickle Islands. How is Skylar? I am sure you are getting a wonderful view of the damage that my planes, and bombers did to the city before the invasion begin we will be there in a couple of days." Hearing the colonel's voice for the first time in years did wonders for General Hawas, because it has been years since they served together in a foreign ground war finally the general spoke up "Colonel Ahmed it is so good to hear your voice again, and I must say your planes did some damage to the capital lets hope we can rebuild this city." Shortly after talking with the colonel on the phone General Hamas walked over to her desk, and quietly sit down to write a official diplomatic letter to the international community.
