This is the 2nd Chapter of the Cackletta War. Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Blitzkrieg

The invasion of the Beanbean Kingdom came at 7:02 AM, on July 12th, 2004, when 107 Divisions of Cackletta's Army, 22 of Which were armored, rolled through the border between the Beanbean Kingdom and Cackletta Nation. Then at 7:34 AM, 1,231 Planes attacked Beanbean City, burning most of it to the ground. It was followed by over 200,000 Troops that did an amphibious landing on the Northern Beanbean Coast. Then, news came that shocked the entire universe. At 12:02 PM, Cackletta, disguised as an Ambassador, attacked Princess Peach and stole her voice. It was followed by a massive invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom. Around the same time, the Cackletta Navy started shelling ports in the Beanbean Kingdom. At the Cackletta Navy's peak, it would have a total of 802 Ships and countless numbers of smaller boats. That included:

1. 98 Aircraft Carriers (Includes Escort Carriers, Aircraft Cruisers, Amphibious Assault Ships, Heli Carriers, Seaplane Carriers, Submarine Carriers, etc.)

2. 52 Battleships (Includes Coastal Battleships, Fast Battleships, etc.)

3. 102 Cruisers (Not including Aircraft Cruisers.)

4. 93 Destroyers

5. Over 30,000 Aircraft.

The Cackletta Army Air Force had over 100,000 Aircraft at it's peak. They had tons of Fighters, Bombers, Attack Aircraft, Transports, Gunships, etc.

The Beanbean and the Mushroom Kingdom's were both shocked by the brutality of Cackletta's Forces. It included atrocities such as Torched Buildings, War Rape, Massacres, Genocide, Mass Murder, Executions of Prisoners of War, etc. To Cackletta, no one was innocent in war, and everyone except those considered "clean" were considered targets. And she wasn't let down when she ordered all civilians that didn't collaborate with Cackletta's forces in occupied countries to be killed "in the most grueling, painful, and gruesome way." That usually meant death by either shooting or by torture.

Within 5 Months, both kingdom's were conquered. Mario and Luigi fled the Mushroom Kingdom to set up a Government-in-exile. Meanwhile, Bowser was watching this war with uneasyness and pressured the Koopa Kingdom's Parliament to act. So they did. In a unaminous vote of 200-0, the Koopa Kingdom voted to declare war on Cackletta Nation. Meanwhile resistance groups were already getting formed in the countries conquered by the Cackletta Nation before and during The Cackletta War. The descision to conquer other nations was eventually going to backfire badly for Cackletta.
