A "Boom" Came from the author as he wrote chap 4. I'm trying to make the
Orbs a bit more important to the story when Black Hole finds them, as it is
now a race between Black hole finding the Black Orb, and the allies to stop
them...and Dr.Bross, you are right, Boom Boom Sub IS a really lame name,
but it was the only thing that came into my mind when deciding a name for
kamikaze sub *goes to change chapter 1) but for now, on with the story:

"Achoooo!!" Came from Grit as he walked back to the Blue Moon headquarters. Olaf just sighed and said to him : "Since when did you last catch a cold?" Grit just stared at him and said: "It is really annoying to return to the cold ol' home, when you have been on a super comfy and warm passenger boat and Yellow Comet". Olaf just sighed and walked inside. He instantly went to his office and two minutes later calls Grit and Colin there.
"Grit, Colin" Olaf started as he cleared his throat. "As you know, the new unit production has been slowing down. What is the matter?" There was ackward silence, as the CO s were pondering the answer. Grit was the one to break the silence: "I guess Black Hole is trying to slow us down. Orange Star is the only one country that has managed to get that huge tank up and running...another new toy for Maxie to toy with, but ya know, we shoulda seek for the spy". Colin spoke then: " Spy? I don't recall any problems with Espionage before..." Olaf then cleared his throat again and said : "Hmm... me neither. But we cannot just discard that chance as well, since Black Hole may be trying to slow us from stopping them... Indeed, that would just be the wisest move they could pull off at the moment, seeing as their Commanding Officers lack the experience, expect Hawke..." Olaf was then cut off by a loud "Achooo!" from Grit. He smirked and said: "Please, save your beard. Me and Colin don't want to hear da bedtime stories right now, eh?" Colin nodded and Olaf looked like he could explode, but he simply said: "We start our project tomorrow".Grit smiled and left. Colin and Olaf both shrugged as they left the room.
**
In Black Hole, Hawke was studying the map of Wars World, and has found new islands. He shrugged and began exploring another unknown are from the map. This area made him interested...
"Hmm... five islands shaped like an orb? Four on the sides, one in the middle? Maybe this is it..." His thoughts were cut off by the transceiver when cloaked face appeared.
"Lord Hawke, we have succesfully destroyed the Blue Moon research facilities." The figure said.
"Excellent!" Hawke said, and showed him the portion of the map he had just found. "I believe that the Orbs are hidden in this set of islands. Our main concern is the center island. Then explore the rest. Just be careful, there may be Mars's troops hidden somewhere, it would be terrible to run at those insane buggers, eh?"
The man nodded, and then said : "As you wish, Lord".
Hawke shrugged. " Yes, and watch out for other countries as well..."
Then suddenly someone entered the room. Hawke shut the transceiver and turned to face Jupiter.
"You know how to knock" He said sarcastically. Jupiter shrugged and answered: "...whatever"
Hawke was now studying the map again. "Yeah, whatever" He said quickly and lost all sort of concentration to Jupiter and was now staring at the map.
Jupiter shrugged and then said: "While you are looking for the Orb, i will distract the country closest to those islands, Orange Star." Hawke just shrugged, he was too concentrated at the map, so he answered : "Do what you wish, Jupiter"
**
"Hmmm" Andy was engaged in a game of chess with Sami. "C'mon, move!" Sami was growing impatient as she waited for Andy to make his move. After a while, he finally ate Sami's queen with his rook. He now had the upper hand, and put Sami thinking about her next move. She then decided to eat a bishop with his knight. Andy did not even think about doing anything as he ate the knight and said: "Checkmate!" Sami stared at the chessboard and looked like she didn't believe what she heard. She observed the board a lot of times before saying: " You got me there,i admit"
On the other side of the room, Max was busy lifting the couches, tables and electronics that were in the room. "No no Max, put it there, or there! The corner looks like the best place, or not...whatever, just put it down at the corner" Nell instructed. Max sighed as he put the couch down and sat down. "Hey Nell, we have been arranging the stuff for two hours! Can we take a break and leave the room as it is?". Nell just nodded and turned to Sami and Andy. "So, who won?" Sami answered simply: "I lost". She was bitter of her defeat, but knew that it would be just plain stupid to complain at a time like this.
Andy was gone from the room. He murmured something about defenses as he walked out to the computer room. A few years back, he could just watch as Nell and Sami did their work there, but now he was just as adept with computers as anybody else. He opened the unit informations, and took a look at their models. "Interesting" He thought as he flipped the pages. " Orange Star models are the basis for everyone else's, and they don't even give us credit! " He explored the units and came to the conclusion that the models were outdated. He opened the intercom and to his surprise, he only saw a cloaked figure with blood-red eyes...
"Greetings, CO Andy, i am here to see if your country is truly as mighty as it seems, so i have arranged an attack force at this region." He then showed Andy a map, and before saying another word Andy had left...
**
"Excellent" Jupiter thought as he arranged his troops. "That idiot Andy probably moves his forces to Shield Hills rather than Alara Range. He probably thinks the troops are really at Shield Hills..."
Andy was very sweaty as he stopped at Alara Range. "Something is not right" He thought. "It would be bloody useless to put troops at shield hills as the place is highly guarded...hey!" He then saw the attack force Jupiter had prepared... "Oh god" Andy groaned. "Start producing Anti-Airs,Medium Tanks, Max Tanks, Infantries,Mechs,Artilleries,Rockets,Missiles,Fighters and Battle Copter units. Set the units we have to defensive position!"
The troops obeyed. Soon it was a clash between Jupiter's high powered units and Andy's well-balanced defenders. He knew that building bombers would be futile, so he built med tanks and b-copters instead. He fared very well.
Jupiter on the other hand, was having difficulties with his units. He had superior firepower, but crappy defense, resulting in Andy having superior firepower over his units. His strategies were limited, as everything he would throw at the mix, Andy would have a counter. In anger, he felt a weird feeling in his body... " Yes, troops." He yelled outside. The sky turned black, the clouds turned blood-red, and blue thunderbolts roared at the sky. " March! With the Universe behind you!"
Jupiter laughed as Andy's attacks were now merely useful agains him, and his units simply squashed Andy's."I don't need to win... just hold out long enough for Hawke to find that orb..."
**
Meanwhile, on the Middle Island the cloaked spyman Hawke sent there was fighting his way through the jungle. "Damn these cursed animals!" He swore. "Rock Solid, what is your position?"
"Right behind you,about 100 metres, by the river." Rock Solid answered.
"Excellent!" The cloakman answered. " Now, move in to position and we ambush those Mars Dragon Troops!"
"As you wish, Gaea"
Gaea was laughing hard at his side of the telephone. "Soon the Jupiter Conquerers will rise once again... and we will gain back our former glory..."
That was until loud gunshots echoed at the island. "DAMMIT" Gaea swore as he adjusted his men to attack. "THEY HAVE LAUNCHED A SURPRISE ATTACK" He yelled at the telephone.
"Affirmative" Came from Rock Solid(i just call him Rock from now on). "By the way those are fighting, they really sound like Seal's troops".
"Not only sound like, but they ARE Seal's troops" Gaea answered. "DAMMIT" He swore again. " I really thought Mars would have came in person, but i guess she did not...not as much courage as her father, no really..."
"Really" Rock said suddenly " The Mars Dragon lost it's edge when that wimp Mars got in charge".
"So true" Gaea answered as he sent his Anti-Airs agaisnt Seal's Infantries and B-Copters.
Gaea's and Rock's troops were winning and they got to the Temple of the Stars. Inside was a night black sphere...
**
"I...lost?" Andy said as he collapsed on his knees, just when Max busted in the room.
"Holy heck Andy what happened?" He asked.
"I lost to that crazy guy" Andy answered while standing up. "We need to escape...to the safest place that is now!"
"That would be either Green Earth or Yellow Comet" Max answered to Andy's comment. Andy laughed. "Guess what Sami chooses?"
Max laughed too when he got the comment. "Let's tell her and Nell we're leaving. Then pack what's necessary and get off. By the way...why are we leaving, again?"
"I said, that we lost" Andy answered. "That guy is insane. We cannot risk our lives just to protect just a borderland like this. We must leave!
Andy and Max got in the APC and then left to the capital. Soon they were done packing and were heading for the Airport.
Sami put the radio on. "A new CO decimated Orange Star defenses. All the lands from Alara Range to the Capital have been destroyed-" Andy shut the radio. He sighed and said as they hopped out of the APC: "If we had stayed in the place a while longer we'd be dead meat"
"Agreed" Sami said with a slight frown. "But Orange Star is our home...we shouldn't give up just for this..."
"Sami's right" Max said. "But as Andy said, we cannot risk our lives right now. If what we suspect is true, we need to gather as much CO s as possible and fast to Green Earth."
"What?Suspect?" Sami asked confused.
"We believe..." Andy sighed and started shaking as they boarded the plane and left. "That the Black Orb has been found"
