This is Jalal's friend's favorite map, resembling an event in WWII.

Chapter 24 : World War…. III?
Arena : Operation Overlord. Music : Mission Landing.
Assault. Time Limit : 10:00 (Standard)
Blood Reaver vs. Dark Phalanx. 5 vs. 5
Objective :
In order to disable the Long-Range-Cannon you must make your way through the defenders' base to the large Gun Cavern deep inside the cliff wall. In there, you will find the 'Main Gun Control' room. Destroy the equipment in that room.
We were teleported at the amphibious transport on the beach. Some gunshots and explosions were heard from outside.
"Are we really in the past?" Asked Jonathan "I mean, it seemed to be a real war out there."
"Nah, it was just some sounds. Voice boxes." I replied. "Okay, anyone need another enforcer? I want to use the sniper rifle there." I waved my enforcer at my teammates.
"Pass it to me." Jojo replied. I threw the enforcer at his hand. "Here you go, buddy." I picked the sniper rifle up and turned back at them. "Okay, our objective is simple. Locate the control room and destroy the Long-range Cannon. All we have to do is fight our way to the cavern inside the mountain. Our check point is in the boiler room. Watch out after you crossed the fox hole. An automatic mortar launcher is up there waiting for you." I looked outside, then turned back to my teammates. "Looks like our enemies are preparing themselves. We got 10 minutes to complete the objectives. Remember, failure is not an option if you are to get home."
"That means you too, remember?" Kyla asked.
"You told them didn't you?"
"I see no reason why you have to hide it."
"Whatever. Anyway, the beach is guarded by 2 automatic cannons, and enemies if there are some. I'll take care of the towers, you'll make your way to the boiler room, but just to remind you, watch out for the incoming mortar shell. It's really lethal. Okay, assault the base!" We charged to the small hole on the beach. "Move, move, move."
I looked at the towers through the sniper scope. I saw the old Dark Phalanxes there. Ivana and Farham. Ivana with a sniper rifle, Farham with a rocket launcher. Suddenly, I heard a loud bang on the dirt near my leg. "Crap!" I took cover inside the amphibious transport, then shot Ivana in the head, killing her instantly. "One shot, one kill."
The Blood Reavers minus me still charged toward the hole. Suddenly, the new Dark Phalanxes, minus Jalal jumped from the Fox Hole small window. Jonathan and Kyla was blocked by Luke, while Jojo and Shingo were trying to evade several ectoplasmic bolts from Danny.
I saw Luke swinging his lightsaber toward Jonathan, who with his reflex move blocked it with a minigun. Though it seemed impossible, the minigun successfully blocked the lightsaber due to the arena solidity system. I just hope it wouldn't go unstable again.
Bang!
There was a small explosion and I was thrown backward when suddenly a sniper bullet impacted on my wrist. Kyla rushed toward me. "Hande! You okay?"
"Fine, just fine."
"Hande, your right wrist…" I looked at my wrist, the watch I was wearing just exploded and burned my skin. "Was that your respawner?"
"No, it was my mini weapon factory. Here's my respawner." I showed him my left arm. There was a small watch too on my left wrist. "I figured out that someone would try to target my respawner. To anticipate my certain death, I made my mini WF similar to the respawner." I sighed when I looked at my mini WF. "But that means I can't summon anything from it."
"So that's how you summon those weapons."
"Okay, you know my secret. Now let's move on, shall we?" I scoped on the right tower and shot Ivana again. "The taste of sweet revenge. Back to business then" I switched to minigun and aimed at Luke, who was still trying to attack Jonathan with his lightsaber. I pulled the lever on the minigun to maximum. A barrage of bullets were flying toward Luke, who blocked every of them. Suddenly, I was thrown backward and collided with the wall. Force push, I think.
I turned my attention on Danny, who was still raining Jojo and Shingo with small and ectoplasmic version of "Death from above.". Without any hesitation, I sniped him on the head. "That's one more one shot one kill." I said as he fell down to the ground.
"Troops! Concentrate your fire on Luke! Use minigun at all direction." An there were loud BANGBANGBANGBANGBANG….. Every bullets were concentrated on Luke, who blocked everything we shot at him.
Luke jumped back on the fox hole roof. We kept raining him with minigun bullets until…

We quickly switched to sniper rifle. Without aiming, I shot him. It unbelievably hit him. After doing some victory dance, I waved at them, telling them to move out.
Log : "The attackers have breached the Beachhead."
"Watch every direction. This is an ideal place for an ambush." I spoke while we were running through the cave. The cave was leading us down and down, until we saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Suddenly, Jalal jumped in front of me with dual enforcers. But before he could do anything, I punched both his hand, disarming him. "Nailed ya."
"Really?" He pulled out a rocket launcher. He quickly jumped back and fired some rockets. I ducked to avoid the barrage of rockets. Luckily, no one got hit by it. "Next time, increase the bot level."
"I already did." He switched to sniper rifle and shot my teammates in the head. But before he could shoot me, I aimed my enforcers at him and held it sideways then pulled the triggers, firing the bullets inaccurately and rapidly. After 2 seconds, he fell dead on the ground. "Sorry, my friend. You're in my way." I switched to sniper rifle and charged to the boiler room.
The boiler room was white, small and smelly, but I didn't really care since I only cared about the enemies who was barricading the entrance to the Long-Range Cannon cavern. Again, without aiming I shot several Phalanxes at the head, leaving only Ivana and Luke. Ivana launched 6 grenades at me, while Luke used his Flak Cannon at me. I somersaulted to evade them, the move the Skaarj often used to evade non-instant weapon. After evading the projectiles, I scoped at Ivana and shot her in the head, then to Luke. But he managed to block it with a lightsaber. Feeling that I couldn't really hit him, I rushed toward him with an impact hammer and threw it at him. He blocked it again with the lightsaber, that was when I switched to sniper rifle and shot his hand. His lightsaber fell down. I took my chances and shot his chest, nailed him, again.
I saw Luke's lightsaber. "Hey, I could really use one of these." I picked it up and moved out.
After waiting for my teammates, we charged forward. If last time we went down, now we moved up. We finally arrived… at the weapon room. It was only halfway 'till we arrive at the Gun Cavern. After picking up some weapons, we rushed forward again.
Finally, the Gun Cavern. Our enemies were waiting on the catwalk, except for Danny, who was floating on the Main Gun Control Room. The cavern had many Red team symbol banners with blue color. In front of us, lied the Long-Range Cannon, which was shooting on the beachhead. Every time the cannon fired, the ground shook as if it triggered some kind of local earthquake.
I was holding a flak cannon that time, with Luke's lightsaber on my belt. I also saw Luke with another lightsaber on his belt. Can't tell why now there were 2 lightsabers. Respawner effect, perhaps?
Being a non force user, I prefer not to use the lightsaber that time, not yet.
Suddenly Luke jumped toward me with a lightsaber in his hand. He quickly swung it on me.
CRASH!
I didn't really know, but in the next second, my hands reacted, my left arm blocked it with a flak cannon, while the right one grabbed a lightsaber and swung it on Luke, who could block it easily.
Not for a long time, a lightsaber battle started between Luke and me. He was owning of course, but I managed to buy some time for my teammates and defeat him, even with the odds against me.
Kyla was leading the forces while the bullets and other projectiles rained the Blood Reavers. Jojo and Jonathan were right on her back. They ran across the catwalk. Shingo fell down as the gun fired, shaking the earth. The rest of the Blood Reavers still ran to the control room. Suddenly, Jonathan was shot down by Danny's ectoplasmic bolt, but killed yet.
Back to the lightsaber battle, Luke had me pinned down at the edge of the mountain. Suddenly, I had an idea. I tried to push Luke with the lightsaber, soon enough, he was pushed back. I took the time to arm the rockets on my belt. Luke somehow noticed this, but too late, I rushed toward him and we exploded together.
Jonathan tried to shot Danny with his phase pistol, but the beam was blocked by his shield. Some of its particle beam was reflected, and hit Farham accidentally. Kyla fired her rocket launcher at him, but Danny was too fast for it. Pissed off, she redirected their anger on Ivana, who seemed to be more vulnerable. Poor Ivana was demolished by barrages of 47 rockets.
I was back at the cavern entrance, I saw Danny still raining them with his attacks. Once again, I aimed my sniper rifle at his foot and shot it. Thanks to whatever the reason some of Danny's powers were nullified, it perfectly hit the target.
"Ouch!"
Danny rubbed his left foot and for the first time in this arena, he pulled a sniper rifle and tried to snipe me. I somersaulted as he fired his rifle.
Seeing their chances, the rest of the Blood Reavers rushed toward the Control Room, only to be greeted by Jalal's minigun. Some of the bullets got Jojo thrown away from the Catwalk. He fell dead on the dirt.
Meanwhile, I just disposed of Danny. I quickly ran to the catwalk, only to find my teammates pinned down by Jalal. I aimed my sniper at him and shot a bullet at his head, but he just saw what I was going to do 2 seconds before I opened fire, and the next second, he ducked. Okay, so to be short, that was a miss shot. I aimed again, another miss shot.
"Kyla, help me please." I asked through the speaker. She just nodded a little. I shot Jalal again, and again, he avoided it. That's when Kyla mowed him down with a minigun. The way to the control room was clear. Kyla went to the control room and pushed the button.
"Long-Range Cannon disabled."
Log : "Red completed the mission in 4:10"
|Switch Sides!|
We respawned at a small room where there were multiple teleporters. Kyla and Jojo took the rocket tower (the right one), while Shingo and Jonathan took the Fox Hole. I got to the sniper tower (the left one) and sit there.
I saw Danny flying fast, only to be hit by a mortar shell. Pathetic.
Meanwhile, the enemies on the beach were running toward the tunnel. Luke was the fastest of them all, while Jalal was the one who leads the frag score.
I set the magnification of the scope to 5.0X, then started to shoot my enemies without any hesitation. BANG! A bullet at Jalal's head. BANG! Another bullet at Luke's lightsaber. BANG! A bullet at Danny's feet. BOOM! That was not me, that was Jojo's rocket hitting Farham's leg. BANG! A bullet finishing what Jojo started. BOOM BOOM! Double rockets from Kyla at Luke, nailed him.
I saw Ivana fell dead when he was pushed back by a bullet rainstorm from the fox hole, and ended up hitting the barbed wire.
3 minutes passed, we still held the attackers away from the Boiler room (Danny reached the tunnel though, but he got shot by me.) I just got the Dominating spree award for killing my enemies fifteen times. It was really easy to kill them from here. The only problems were some bullets they sent back and when my sniper rifle was empty.
Suddenly, I got shot from the beachhead. Shit, it was Jalal!
Log : "The attackers have breached the Boiler room"
I respawned on the teleporter room, then rushed to the boiler room teleporter. I knew it was too late, but I wanted to take them all out very soon before they reached the ammo room. I took Boris easily, but then I was disarmed by Danny with his ectoplasmic bolt. I pulled out my enforcer but too late, Luke stabbed me with the lightsaber, killing me instantly.
40 seconds passed, I was in the Cavern, the odds were at the Dark Phalanx's side. They already breached through the catwalk and were in front of the control room. We tried to blow them to smithereens like there was no tomorrow, but Jojo and Jonathan had been K.I.A. and Shingo was fatally injured.
"10"
"9"
Luke was blown by Kyla, but his lightsaber stabbed her in the chest.
"8"
"7"
"6"
"5"
Danny killed Shingo with his enforcer and was headed toward the control room.
"3"
Just before he could touch the control room, I used my sniper rifle to shot his head down.
"Denied!" I taunted.
"Congratulations, you are the winner!"
A/N : Like before, my defender part was short, but oh well. END OF ASSAULT AND THE START OF THE SUSPENSEFUL MATCHES! YAY!
Now that's some explanation of why I can summon weapons. You don't really think I have superpowers do you? And for darknessDemon, you can explain why I could create that rocket launcher in the New ISB with you own explanations, after all, that was and is your idea.
Jalal always play UT in Novice mode, the easiest of all difficulties, that's what makes him a little bit n00b.
And review pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee!
