The room was darkened with a projector in the center turned off upon an oak
table. Seated around the table were the four COs, and their leader. The
childish Lash, the brutish Flax, the deceitful Adder and the deadly Hawke.
Seated at the head of the table was a man/robot/alien that had sent the
world into turmoil twice over.
Sturm.
"Well then, my subordinates, let's get down to business." Sturm said in a voice enhanced and changed by his faceplate to sound robotic and inhuman. "We have recovered enough strength to attack a third time. This time there will be NO ERRORS!" He bellowed spooking even the unwavering Flak. "We will conquer the world. Country-by-country, town-by-town, army-by-army. Gather your forces and prepare!"
"As you wish Lord Sturm."
"At once!"
"Ya! Fun time!"
"I'll CRUSH them!"

Sitting at her desk Nell flipped through her reports and lists. Her office had a plush light purple carpet and a pine desk stained to a light tan color. Open windows shined light inside her office and gave her a view of the forest. Across the wall was pictures and shelves with flowers and small statues. On her desk sat a computer, from which she could look up army information and other Intel. The voluptuous blonde stretched out her body in her leather chair and then gazed out the window behind her. At that moment someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened to reveal Sami, Orange Star's infantry and transportation specialist. As the three current Orange Star COs went, Sami was the most serious one, and Nell's most trusted friend. Although her vehicle and tank units lacked power, her infantry were trained more heavily than any other and her transportation units were designed for more speed than Andy's or Max's. She wore her usual bandana and green cargo pants and a white tank top, as well as a white band on her upper arm, and reddish hair that was cropped short.
"You wanted to see me Nell?"
Nell nodded and indicated the chair in front of her deck. Sami walked over to it and sat down as Nell took out a folder.
Nell and Sami were great friends and co-workers, despite their obvious differences. While Sami wore tomboyish practical clothes and short hair that wouldn't get in her eyes, Nell preferred a purple business suit that hugged her every curve, as well as long blonde hair that enhanced her figure.
Sami often commanded from the front lines, or in an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) close to the field of battle. Nell did her work from her desk, gathering Intel safely away from the realm of combat.
Still, they both shared the same duty, the defense and protection of Orange Star.
"Yes, we're going to have a new CO soon. He'll be running the defense of Section 12 in the defense grid."
To organize their forces, The Orange Star Armed Forces created 20 'Sections' that was then divided between COs for defense. Andy ran sections 1 through 4, Max 5 through 12 and Sami herself 13 through 18. Nell's forces defended sections 19 and 20. Although she rarely commanded recently, Nell got her position as The Orange Star Armed Forces Commander and Chief by proving herself over and over. As such she ran the two most important sections, the President's residence and The Orange Star Command Center. Andy currently commanded the least amount of Sections, aside from Nell, due to his inexperience, but protected the northern most areas. Sami, her most trusted CO, had fewer Sections than Max, but those sections made up the southern half of the country. Max commanded the remainder, most of the northern part of the country, aside from the areas Andy guarded. It was common for a new CO to be given a single Section, under the eye of an experienced CO.
"I would also like you to keep and eye on him, and maybe take him under your wing a bit. Section 12 is also adjacent to Section 8, so Max might be able help." Nell passed Sami a folder. Sami opened it to see a photo on a dossier. The photo showed an attractive young man with brown hair and eyes.
"James Solons. I'm sure you heard of his father."
"You mean... Terry Solons?" Sami said a little surprised.
General Terry Solons was the most famous CO in Orange Star's history, along with Hatchi. The public only knew of his deeds. Solons was possibly the greatest CO and General in Orange Star history, but his attitude was legendary among most of the army. Simply put he was a prick. He was arrogant, talked down to everyone, and considered himself perfection. A prick in her book.
"Yes, and I know what your thinking, but give the kid a chance. His father basically forced him into service."
"Do you know why Nell?"
Nell shook her head lightly. "Sorry, but you'll have to ask him yourself. I did get a chance to speak with him. He's a bit like Grit really, relaxed but seemingly dependable. And a bit shy as well."
"Great." Sami said dryly. "So now what?"
"You will meet him at 14:00 hours, a recon jeep will take you to a waiting transport copter. You can talk with him along the way."
"Alright. Guess I'll have to ask him myself."

End Chapter One.
Just so you know, yes, I have seen the end of Advance Wars Two. There is a reason Sturm is alive. There is a reason Hawke is working with him. K?
Sturm.
