Chapter 4: The Cosmo Land War

In the year 2135 AD, Eagle is standing on the Green Earth HQ.

"The war has just begun..." Eagle stated as the war begins.

"Commander Eagle! We've received message from the Orange Star!" The Green Earth's soldier comes into his office.

"What?" Eagle shocked.

"Andy is calling at the operations room!" The Green Earth's soldier told to him.

"All right." Eagle replied and he goes into the operations room.

In the operations room, Eagle watches the transmission from the Orange Star.

"This is Andy." Andy tells to him.

"Andy?" Eagle shocked.

"The war of the Cosmo Land has begin! Commander Nell is waiting to us." Andy told to him.

"Andy!" Eagle angered as he sees Nell's appearing. "It's Andy clone?"

"Sir! We're under attack!" The Green Earth's communications officer told to him.

"All fighters scramble!" The officer announced to the fighter pilots.

"All right." Eagle nods and he shouted to his pilots.. "Let's move out!"

"Yes, sir!" The Green Earth's pilots replied and they move out with the fighters.

Eagle moves out with the transport copter are waiting to the airport and he sits with the pilot as he shouted to him.

"Take to the Orange Star!" Eagle shouted to the pilot.

"Roger that, Eagle." The pilot replied as the copter takes off.

Meanwhile in the Orange Star, Andy sees Eagle's army arrives in the Alara Region.

"Hmmm... What have we here? Orange Star forces, if I'm not mistaken. And, of course, I never am. I had heard that the Blue Moon Army ruined them, but... How interesting. I think I'll entertain them for a while." Eagle sees Andy upon landing on the Orange Star.

"What's that?" Andy noticed.

"Andy!" Eagle shouted to him as he arrives in the Alara Region.

"Didn't Nell say this area was empty? As in, no enemies?" Andy tells to Nell.

"Andy! Come in! Do you copy?" Nell responds to Andy via communications.

"Nell! There are hostile forces here!" Andy shouted as Eagle's forces are coming.

"So it seems. But those... those aren't Blue Moon troops. I'll see what I can find out. Hold your positions! We have some bases you can use here as a last resort. Watch over Andy, OK?" Nell ends the transmission.

Eagle begins to attack Andy's troops as he uses the CO Power.

"Are you fool enough to believe you can withstand two of my attacks?" Eagle is about to uses the CO Power. "Lightning Strike!"

Eagle's troops moves faster towards Andy's troops.

"I've got it! I know who you've encountered! Those are Green Earth troops! Rumor has it that there's an independent battalion roaming about. I believe you've found them. Watch out for their air units. They're supposed to be brutal!" Nell inform to Andy.

"You're too late, Nell." Andy replied and informed to her.

"What? Does that mean you're already under attack? Well... Um... Good luck!" Nell bids to Andy.

"Nell left us! She ran away..." Andy notices as Nell ran away.

After all... Eagle's units are eliminated by the Orange Star forces.

"I... I lost? Huh? It's you! Andy!" Eagle told to Andy as defeat.

"Yeah, but... who are you?" Andy shocked to his rival.

"Don't play dumb with me, boy! I'll never forget what you've done!" Eagle is about to board the transport copter.

"Huh?" Andy shocked.

"So, continuing to feign ignorance, eh? Very well, but the next time we meet will be our last!" Eagle bids farewell as he seats with his pilot in the cockpit of the transport copter.

"Hey! Wait up! He's gone. What was that all about? Who in the world is that?" Andy sees Eagle is ran away with his transport copter.

Upon returning to the Green Earth HQ, Eagle goes to the operations room.

"Andy has wiped out all my units!" Eagle rages to the communications officer.

"Eagle, stop it!" The communications officer tries to calm Eagle.

"It's okay..." Eagle calmed by the officer. "Turn on the communications."

"Understood." The communications officer replied and opens the communications from the Orange Star.

"This is Orange Star... We've a clone Andy!" The Orange Star's officer sees Clone Andy is about to attack them.

"Clone Andy?" Eagle shocked as clone Andy attacks the Cosmo Land, which led by Sturm.

Sami jumped out from the transport copter and she goes to unite Max and Andy.

"Sorry I'm late. Andy and Max... Sir , wasn't it?" Sami arrives.

"Who are you?" Andy sees and asked to her name.

"My name is Sami. I'm the Special Forces commander. I was supposed to join you earlier, but my last mission ran long. Well, better late than never, right? I'm an infantry and mech unit specialist. My units can seize and secure new bases faster than any other CO's. My transport units are top of the line, too. Don't hesitate to deploy me and my troops as you see fit. I'm ready for action!" Sami replied and getting ready to her rifle.

"Looking forward to working with you, Sami!" Andy shouted to their COs.

"That's the spirit! Oh, I've got some information, too. Word is that Olaf's forces are marching toward Yellow Comet. Let's go get 'em! ...Wait a minute... who's that?" Sami sees Eagle is reappeared again.

Eagle is on the ground and he sees the Orange Star.

"The Orange Star Army... Andy's troops. This time, I won't be beaten by Andy and his ilk. I shall crush them with one stroke!" Eagle shouted as he sees the Orange Star is attacking the Green Earth. "I will pull no punches!" He is about to use the CO Power. "Lightning Strike!"

Eagle's forces moves double and attacks the Orange Star COs.

"Watch out, Sami!" Andy shouted to Sami. "Use your CO power!"

"All right." Sami replied as she uses the CO Power. "Double Time!" She commands her troops and capture the HQ. After capturing the HQ, Eagle is about to leave.

"I, Eagle, beaten by Andy, again?" Eagle told to her.

"Who are you calling Andy" Sami tells about Andy to him.

"Eh?" Eagle notices to his rival.

"I think I'll take offense at your mistake. Do I look like a boy to you?" Sami told to him.

"Who are you?" Eagle asked to her name.

"The name's Sami. I'm an Orange Star CO." Sami replied with her name.

"I... I lost to... a girl?" Eagle muttered.

"You're careless. That's why you keep losing! I don't think you're ready for war. You need to go back to basic training!" Sami tolds to him as she is throught back to the basic training.

"Excuse me, Orange Star CO... Sami?" Eagle told to her.

"Yes?" Sami noticed.

"I would like to apologize for my behavior. It was inappropriate." Eagle apologizes to Sami with the bad behavior.

"Oh, OK..." Sami replied.

Eagle is about to leave for Green Earth with the transport copter. "I vow by my lucky goggles that the next time we meet, I will do better. Now I will take my leave. Farewell." He seats along with the pilot as the t-copter flies away.

"Wait, wait a minute! No one said you could leave. Come... He's gone! He seems like a pretty decent guy, after all." Sami sees Eagle is away for the Green Earth.

Upon returning to Green Earth, Eagle sees Drake is waiting in the HQ.

"Hey, mate. What are you doing?" Drake asked to him.

"I see Sami with my lucky goggles." Eagle replied to Drake as they comes into the operations room.

In the operations room, Drake and Eagle sees Clone Andy's transmission with Sturm in the Black Hole.

"Hmmm..." Sturm nodded. "From now, I'll dominate the Cosmo Land about a day later."

"What happened?" The officer panicked.

"Sturm!" Eagle shouted to Sturm via transmission.

"Hey!" Drake panicked.

"Check the situation!" The officer opens the situation on the Cosmo Land.

The situation of the Cosmo Land is completely chaos, many troops are loses to fight with Clone Andy and the bases are destroyed by Clone Andy's forces.

"Oh no..." Eagle muttered.

The base's alarm blares as the Green Earth begin to attack the Black Hole forces.

"Drake, go to the battleship." Eagle told to Drake.

"Aye aye, Eagle." Drake replied as he goes to the battleship.

"I'll take the fighter." Eagle told to one of the officers in the operations room.

"Eagle, don't go now." The officer told to him. "It's too dangerous."

"I can't! The Black Hole forces is attacking the Cosmo Land. Please, take the fighter now." Eagle gives promises to the officer.

"Eagle, go ahead. The Cosmo Land is awaiting at the hands." The officer told Eagle go to defend the Cosmo Land.

"I will!" Eagle replied and he exits the operations room.

Eagle goes into his fighter.

The Green Earth's units towards to the battlefield while Drake is commanding the battleship.

"Blow ye winds o' the mornin'! Blow ye winds hi ho!" Drake shouted.

"Drake! What are you doing all the way out here? You've got to get into position!" Eagle communicates to Drake via radio on his fighter.

"Morning, Eagle. Wouldn't you rather just sit and bask in the sun a while?" Drake told to him.

"Are you insane? The Orange Star Army is on the move!" Eagle shouted and replied.

"Oh, is that so?" Drake noticed to him.

"Is that so? Drake, are you..." Eagle told to him.

"Be cool - everything's under control. No need to rush. I've got everything set up. Now, doesn't this sun feel good? Oh... He's gone. Ah well. I guess I'd better get under way before Eagle gets his feathers any more ruffled." Drake nodded to him.

"Drake always finds some way to sidetrack me. He's absolutely peerless in naval combat, but sometimes I wonder..." Eagle muttered.

After that... Eagle's fighter lands into the base.

"By Neptune's beard, that was a rough battle!" Drake commands his battleship into the sea.

"Come on, Drake! We'll be beaten again if you don't get moving!" Eagle rages.

"Quit your jabbering and look around, Eagle. Only fools sail onto uncharted waters blindfolded." Drake told to him.

"What are you talking ab...?" Eagkle interrupted.

"Orange Star did not attack Green Earth." Drake notices the Orange Star doesn't attack the Green Earth.

"But, we saw..." Eagle muttered.

"We saw what we were meant to see! And this goes beyond the battles in Green Earth. This entire conflict has been orchestrated from the beginning." Drake shouted to him.

"But how..." Eagle nodded.

"Quiet! Now, if I'm right, we'll have to turn the tides on our mystery foe. The best way to test my theory is to battle Orange Star again." Drake shouted to him again.

"You mean... that wasn't Andy?" Eagle noticed to Andy.

After Drake flee in his battleship, Eagle turns to the Orange Star COs.

"Aye, like I said, that's a rough opponent. Doesn't this old sea dog deserve some smooth sailing now and then?" Drake asked to him.

"Drake! Listen... About our earlier conversation..." Eagle rages and he opens the conversation.

"Ahoy there, Eagle. It's time for you to test the waters. Battle Orange Star yourself and see if my theory holds any water." Drake smiled to him.

"I think you're right." Eagle replied.

Sami towards to Eagle upon he is on the base.

"Eagle! Why do you keep harrying us?" Sami asked to him.

"It's you again... Sami." Eagle replied and he sees her.

"Well, excuse me for getting in your way! Listen, will you just explain to me why you won't leave us be?" Sami told to him.

"It... It has nothing to do with you. Bring out Andy! I want to settle this now!" Eagle raged as he is about to bring Andy.

"No! Absolutely not! I'm in command now. You can't ask for Andy unless you get by me first!" Sami shouted to him.

"Don't do this, Sami... I won't hold anything back." Eagle warned to her.

"I don't want to fight Sami, but... it looks like I've got no choice. To the skies!" Eagle scrambles the fighters and he goes on his fighter.

"I don't want to harm Sami, but what choice do I have?" Eagle is about to used the CO Power. "Lightning Strike!"

Eagle begin to fire the missiles on his fighter and Sami's units is attacked by the Green Earth.

"Eagle! Enough is enough!" Sami shouted to him as she is about to use the CO Power. "Double Time!"

Sami's infantry captures the HQ, Sami sees Eagle lands his fighter on the base.

"Start talking, Eagle. I'm listening." Sami begin to talk with him.

"Very well... I'll tell you everything. I'll tell you all about it. All about how Andy attacked my homeland, Green Earth!" Eagle notices as his homeland is attacked by Andy.

"Huh?" Sami shocked.

"The look on his face during the assault... I'll never forget! Never!" Eagle angered as his homeland is under attack.

"Eagle! Stop it!" Sami shouted to him.

"Stop what, Sami?" Eagle shocked.

"Look who you're accusing! Andy couldn't pull off anything that complicated. You suspect this kid who has his hands full just getting dressed?" Sami shouted.

"Um... Excuse me?" Andy comes to her.

"Well, it's not really a face that shines with intelligence." Eagle tell to her.

"Hold on a..." Andy interrupted.

"Exactly! Andy spends the entire day not thinking of things!" Sami excited.

"All right, that's..." Andy muttered.

"If you put it that way, it's hard to imagine Andy pulling it off." Eagle told to him.

"You guys are mean!" Andy shouted to him.

"But I'm not completely convinced. I still suspect you of something! If I find you're lying to me, Andy, you'll curse the day you were born!" Eagle rages to her.

"He's not such a bad guy... But, boy, is he stubborn." Sami replied to him.

Eagle sees his homeland is under attack by Andy.

"I saw his face! That had to be Andy, but..." Eagle sees Andy's face.

Sonja walks to him as she meets Eagle.

"Hello, Eagle." Sonja meets him.

"You... you're Sonja from Yellow Comet. What are you doing here?" Eagle told to her as she is from the Yellow Comet.

"It wasn't Andy who attacked you. It was someone else." Sonja notices the clone is attacking the Green Earth.

"Do you know something about all of this?" Eagle asked to her.

"Yes, I do. I'll tell you who's pulling all of our strings if you'll follow me." Sonja replied and tells to him.

"But I..." Eagle muttered.

"I know what you're worried about. Go ahead and go with her." Drake told to him.

"Are you sure it's OK?" Eagle nodded to him.

"I'll take care of Green Earth for you, don't worry. That's what shipmates are for, right?" Drake asked to him.

"You have my gratitude, Drake." Eagle gives the gratitude to him.

"I like the idea of getting a close look at the Orange Star Army. I'll meet you again later. Watch yourself, Eagle!" Drake bids to him.

8 days later...

Sonja and Eagle sees Clone Andy on the field.

"Who is that?" Eagle sees the clone.

"Olaf's invasion of Orange Star is where all of this began. During the attack, Andy was seen leading sorties on several countries. You saw him yourself, didn't you? So... doesn't all this strike you as exceedingly odd?" Sonja stated to him.

"Well, now that you mention it..." Eagle nodded.

"You see what I'm getting at? It would've been impossible for Orange Star to launch multiple offensives while trying to repel Olaf's attack. That's the anomaly I wanted to show you." Sonja smirked to him.

"Impossible! I'm getting angrier by the moment!" Eagle yelled.

"It seems that our mystery foe has the ability to create human clones. I think it's safe to say that we've encountered several copies of Andy." Sonja told to him.

"Blast! This is terrible!" Eagle panicked.

"I have some more stones to overturn, so I'll be going. What are your plans?" Sonja asked to him.

"I won't leave this madman on the loose! I'll find him and crush him!" Eagle is abput to defeat the Clone Andy.

"It's up to you then, Eagle! Hail the Prince of the Skies! Good luck!" Sonja gives good luck to him as he goes to the battlefield.

Sami comes to Eagle.

"Eagle!" Sami shouted to him.

"Who? Oh, it's you. Sami!" Eagle replied as he sees her.

"Who is that? Is that... Andy?" Sami sees him.

"What the...?" Clone Andy intterupts.

"Huh? Two Andys? What's going on? Eagle! Can you explain this?" Sami asked to him.

"Ah, yes. That's a clone of Andy that our enigmatic foe somehow constructed. Starting with Green Earth, he's attacked several countries." Eagle explains two Andys.

"So this is why everyone's been picking fights with Orange Star! I don't know who that guy is, but he's got me steamed! Look out, bozo! Here I come!" Sami grabs her rifle.

"Hey! Hold on a moment! The green units are my troops! Let me handle all of the enemy air units. It'll give you time to push straight ahead and storm the foe's HQ." Eagle engages his air units to the enemy units. "I'll make him suffer for fooling Eagle." He moves his air units.

Clone Andy is stating on the base.

"Maelstrom, come... All who oppose me... Destroy! Power mode... access Hyper Repair... initiate..." Clone Andy uses the Hyper Repair.

"If you think this clone is getting the better of me, think again!" Eagle is about to use the CO Power. "Lightning Strike!" He commands the unit 2nd time as the Green Earth units destroys Clone Andy's units.

"We've won... for the time being." Eagle wins battle with Clone Andy.

"Here they come again!" Sami shouted.

"Cripes! There's no end in sight!" Max yelled.

"You don't have time to waste around here. Leave this to me and go!" Eagle told them to leave.

"I'm staying, too!" Sami yelled.

"No, Sami! You have to go as well!" Eagle shouted.

"No! Even you can't stand against this horde!" Sami notices the horde of the army is attacking.

"You have no idea how powerful a foe awaits your friends. They can't face him alone! Go, Sami! Go!" Eagle shoos Sami.

"I understand. Watch your back!" Sami bids to him.

"Ha! They'll soon find Eagle's no easy prey!" Eagle stated as Sami leaves.

Eagle with his pilot on the cockpit of the transport copter as it fliea away.

Upon the Orange Star army defeats the sturm and flees to the Black Hole, Eagle sees the Orange Star army goes to the Black Hole island.

"Commander Eagle, there it is! The Black Hole army just resides here!" The Green Earth's transport copter pilot shouted to him.

"I see." Eagle replied and he commands to land the Black Hole island. "Troops, prepare to landing!"

"Yes, sir!" The Green Earth's troops shouted.

The Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet and Green Earth lands on the Black Hole island. Sonja is talking to the Enigma.

"So... you're the one behind all this chaos. Do you have a name, or should we just call you Disaster?" Sonja asked to him.

"My name is... Sturm." Enigma reveals his name is Sturm.

"Well Sturm, we've finally hunted you down. Time to pay the piper, as they say." Sonja told to him.

"Hunted down? Me? You've done nothing but enter the door that I opened for you." Sturm tolds to her.

"What?" Sonja shocked.

"Did you think I didn't notice you, little girl? You and your pathetic strategy games! Is that all you're good for?" Sturm nodded to her.

"What? But... that's... you couldn't... Are you saying you've known all along?" Sonja asked to him.

"You've made one stupid mistake after another... Did you imagine yourself a match for me? You conceited fool! It's time to put an end to this farce. Time to pay the piper, was it?" Sturm kidnaps her.

"... I'm sorry, Father... I've broken my promise..." Sonja stated as she is kidnapped by Sturm.

"Quick, Sonja's in danger!" Andy shouted to the all COs.

"Sonja!" Grit shouted to her.

"Grit? I'm so sorry. Take everyone and run... The enemy... Sturm... He's much more powerful than I'd imagined... Everyone's going to be..." Sonja apologizes to him.

"This 'Sturm' is the one who did this to you, right?" Andy asked to her.

"Andy, please... You've got to get away." Sonja replied to him.

"Who's running away? That guy's goin' down!" Andy shouted.

"Andy's right. There ain't too many people who get on my nerves like this bozo does. We can't let him go! Sir! I'll lend you a hand!" Grit shouted to the sir.

"So that's the face of the enemy." Eagle arrives to her.

"Eagle! You're OK! Thank goodness. (sigh)" Sami appreciates to him.

"Sami, we'll talk later. First, we must destroy him! Sir, wasn't it? I'm yours to command." Eagle replied to her.

"All right, everybody! Let's move out!" Andy orders the army to move out.

The first day...

"This is getting interesting. I was losing my edge fighting that darned clone!" Eagle commands his army.

"Those fools... Their troops are all amassed right there... Bwah ha ha... They've played right into my hands! They'll rue the day they dreamed of opposing me!" Sturm begins to attack the Orange Star, Blue Moon and Green Earth army.

"There's no way I'm losing!" Andy is about to use the CO Power. "Hyper Repair!" He repairs the damaged units.

"Here's a taste of my power!" Sturm is about to use the CO Power. "Meteor Strike!" He summons the meteor and damages the units.

"You monster... you've gone too far! Take this!" Eagle is about to use the CO Power. "Lightning Strike!" His units doubles the moves and attacks the Black Hole's army.

After the Orange Star, Blue Moon and Green Earth defeats the Black Hole's army...

"Nooooooooooo! So close, I was so close... I underestimated the strength of these worms! I... I've been beaten! My dream of world conquest... I vow that I will return! When that time comes, I will challenge you worms yet again!" Sturm retreats.

"Yeah, this time we really won!" Andy cheered as the army wins the war.

"And Sturm's army is gone for good, too. Eagle! Thanks for your help!" Sami appreciates to him.

"No thanks are necessary. After all, much of your hardships were caused by my earlier mistake." Eagle refuses appreciates from her.

"Facing you in combat was really a tough struggle. There was absolutely no margin for error!" Sami shouted to him.

"Yeah, but it was a ton of fun!" Andy excited.

"For me as well! Why not? Hey, Andy! I think I'd like to take another shot at you! What do you say? Are you up for the challenge?" Eagle taunt to challenge him.

"Another battle? You know it! Let's go!" Andy goes to the final battle with Eagle.

Eagle with his copter pilot goes to the last battle with Andy.

"Andy! I wanted to face you one more time. Let's go!" Eagle taunts to him.

"I'm ready!" Andy accepted the challenge of Eagle.

The rival battle has begun...

"There aren't many units here, are there?" Andy asked to her.

"That's right. Do you know what to do?" Nell replied and asked to him.

"Sure! I just use these bases to deploy whatever troops I want!" Andy shouted to her.

"I guess there's nothing left for me to teach you." Nell ends the conversation with Andy.

"Here I come, Andy!" Eagle is about to use the CO Power. "Lightning Strike!" He boosts his air units.

After Andy defeats him in the rival battle.

"I lost again. You're a tough one." Eagle stated as his defeat.

"That's 'cause it's not just me! Sir's my strategic planner!" Andy told the strategy to him.

"Oh, that's right. Orange Star is using strategic advisors. That way, the commander can just concentrate on the combat itself. That's an impressive system. It's why I couldn't match you in battle." Eagle started the conversation to him.

"I don't know why, but when we work together, we're really strong!" Andy shouted to him.

"Yes, indeed. This was your day in the sun. But..." Eagle stated to him.

"Hey! Let's fight again some day." Andy told to him as the Green Earth's transport copter is waiting to depart for the Green Earth.

"Yes, let's do that. Until we meet again, Andy. See you again, Sir. Next time, I won't lose!" Eagle bids farewell to him as he gets in the transport copter and he shouted to the pilot. "Let's go home."

"You got it, Eagle." The copter pilot replied as he takes off the transport copter and flies away.

The war of the Cosmo Land is over... The Orange Star begin to recover the Cosmo Land in this time... Soon after, the Black Hole will begin the full-scale invasion of the Macro Land which Flak takes the Orange Star, Lash takes the Blue Moon, Adder takes the Yellow Comet and Hawke takes the Green Earth. The Black Hole begins to attack the Macro Land...
