Disclaimer: I don't own Advance Wars, la de da, even though it IS the greatest strategy game ever created, IMO, blah blah blah.
Author's Note: I'm using the Advance Wars 2 COs in this, as well as some originals and some from another one of my Fics... ^^ Anyway, if you don't know, here's the CO list, as of Advance Wars 2...
Orange Star - Andy, Max, Nell, Sami Blue Moon - Grit, Olaf, Colin [Rich boy who's incredibly respectful of Grit and Olaf] Green Earth - Eagle, Drake, and Jess [Vehicle Master] Yellow Comet - Kanbei, Sonja, and Sensei [Old legendary CO that's a master of copters, he was Kanbei's teacher] Dark Hole - Sturm, Lash (Strategy), Flak (Force), Adder (Movement), and Hawke (Leader)
Mission 1 - Falling Rose, the First Contact
Andy woke up with a start, as the alarms sounded throughout the entire building.
"What the heck is going on?" Andy cried out.
The door slammed open. Max ran in. "Andy, come on! We've got emergency work, something big is going on!"
"This early in the morning?" Andy whined.
"Yes, this early in the morning, now move it!" Max shouted.
"Alright already!!!" Andy shouted, popping up. "Just let me grab something to wear!"
After slipping into his classic red shorts and shirt, Andy took off after Max towardss the command room.
It only took a few moments to get there. Of course.
Andy ran in, seeing Nell and Sonja, and...
"Olaf? Hawk? Kanbei!?" Andy shouted.
"Yes..." Nell nodded. "This is serious, we had to make sure the other countries were represented..."
Andy looked around, seeing a couple other faces he didn't know. "Who are these?"
"They're from other continents on Wars World..." Nell explained. "That one, over there..."
Nell pointed to a young man, who was wearing a long labcoat, and was wearing a pair of sunglasses, looking quite confident. "That would be Commander Sorias, of the Emerald Mountains Army..."
Nell then pointed to another man, who looked like he had just left his teens. He was wearing a dark jacket over a red shirt and blue jeans, rather casual. "That is Commander Geketi... of the Sapphire Seas Army..."
Geketi took note at the mention of his name, but didn't do anything.
"And that young woman..." Nell finally pointed to the last one, a slightly short woman with a mass tangle of brown hair, and a red satin dress, who was talking with Sami. "That is Miss Rouge of the Ruby River Army..."
"I wonder why I've never heard of these places before..." Andy wondered aloud.
"They're rather small, you probably went through their countries a couple times without realizing it..." Nell said.
"Let's get this started!" somebody ran in the door at the back.
Andy gaped. "Lash!?"
Lash looked up. "Yeah, what's it to 'ya?"
"Andy, keep your mouth shut!" Max muttered.
"Why, she's Black Hole, she's..." Andy cried out.
"No, she's not the enemy this time..." Max replied.
"She's... Not? Did she leave Black Hole or something?"
"No, you idiot, I'd never leave them..." Lash stuck her tounge out. "Listen, though, it doesn't matter too much. I'm surprised you didn't hear!"
"Err.. no..." Andy admitted.
"Well, now that everybody's here, listen up!" Nell cried out above the small crowd.
Everybody hushed.
"Okay, let's get immediatly down to buisness..." Nell said. "Lash, what's the report on Black Hole?"
"We're barely holding..." Lash grimaced. "All they've got to do now is take the capital... The other COs have all escaped, except Hawke and Sturm..."
"What?" Andy wondered. "Just like that, they've almost captured Black Hole's capital???"
"I... I see..." Nell gulped. "No report against any of you guys though, yet?"
"No, nothing..." Olaf sighed with release. "Mabye it's just some rogue faction that wants Black Hole gone..."
"I told you, you're probably wrong..." Kanbei says. "My daughter is sure they're after something else..."
"And what does Sonja know?" Lash spat.
"Hey, hey, calm down!" Andy cried out. "What exactly is going on here?"
Everybody hushed up.
Nell walked over to a console in the middle of the operations room, turning on a machine. A hologram map of Wars World hovered in the center of the machine.
Red dots were blinking where Dark Hole's island was, a large grouping of green dots were right where Orange Star's command center was, and a lot of others were scattered about, three on Dark Hole's island.
"Those Green Dots represent COs..." Nell said. She put her hand up to one on Blue Moon, and an image of Colin came up. "We can track their positions from here..."
"I wish we had this technology back home..." Kanbei muttered.
"Those red dots indicate conflicts..." Nell muttered, tapping another one. An image formed, like a video screen, showing soldiers fighting. Dark Hole, and some other, silver-coated army...
"What the heck?" Andy cried out.
"We don't even have a name for them..." Nell gulped.
"What do you know about 'them'?" Rouge asked.
"We know almost nothing, but we have been able to get an image of their CO..." Nell prodded a third green dot, on the Black Hole island.
The image of a young man, wearing black shorts, a black vest over bare muscles, with hands in his pockets, and black hair appeared. There was a smoke in his mouth.
"Who the hell?" Gekiti walked closer.
"That's the problem, we don't know who..." Nell shrugged. "Despite everything, we haven't been able to find any information on this guy, or on the army he's commanding..."
Nell clicked on the conflict at the heart of the Black Hole island, and it zoomed in, showing an overhead view of the area. In the center was Black Hole's large city, it's capital, the futuristic place it was expected to be.
"Do you see?" Nell asked. "You can see their troops like this, and it doesn't look good at all..."
"Yeah, but..." Andy gulped. "There's... so few of those Silver troops..."
"I know!" Nell gulped. "That's what worries me! There are only a THIRD as many troops, but the silver ones are winning! They're all incredibly trained and fortefied, and there seems to be incredible strategy..."
"That's what I'm worried about!" Lash whined. "Their armies are better trained... Faster... Stronger... Smarter then ours!"
"That's the problem..." Nell grimaced. "Black Hole armies are the toughest we've ever fought, and yet they're getting beaten so easily..."
Sorias finally opened his mouth. "I can't explain it... I've tried everything to figure out their next move... And then they do something that surprises me, and I realize that it's perfect!"
"But he doesn't look like the kind to have that kind of strategic ability..." Eagle walked closer. "There's no way..."
"Well, at the moment, he doesn't pose a threat to us... At the moment, anyway..." Nell gulped.
They continued to watch for a few seconds, before the hologram dissapeared.
"Why'd you close it?" Sami blinked.
"I... I didn't!" Nell looked at the place where the hologram had been, blinking as well.
It suddenly flipped back on, showing the new CO.
"What are you trying to do?"
The hologram moved, as the CO looked around the room. It was the hologram that had spoken...
"We're trying to find out who you are!" Lash cried out.
"Ah, you're that Lash girl, one of the Black Hole commanders, aren't you?" the man took a quick puff on the cigarette, pulling it out. It was as if he was in miniature right in front of them.
"Shame, you'd been made out to be quite something, but your armies weren't prepared..." the man tossed the cigarette down to the ground, although there was no ground, it just kind of floated in the air, as he stepped on it.
"Who are you? What do you want with my country?" Lash cried out.
"It won't matter what my name is, soon you'll know it anyway..." the man grinned. "And I want what you guys once wanted, I want Wars World myself..."
The hologram crackled, as if dissapearing.
"Wait!" Rouge cried out. "You're not going anywhere!"
"Oh?" the image fizzled back in. The man took out a cigarette from his coat pocket, lit it, and took a good puff, before taking it out. "Why not?"
"You still haven't told us anything!" Rouge cried out.
"You... You're Rouge of the Ruby River, aren't you?" the man's eyebrow raised.
"Ye... Yes... Why?" Rouge asked.
"Very well, you're next..." the image fizzled out completely.
The world globe thingy reappeared, hovering, and there was another Red Dot now.
"That's my home!" Rouge looked at the little island where the red dot was blinking.
"That's what he meant!" Nell gasped. "We've got to move it and get there fast!"
"O... Okay!" Andy nodded. "What's the quickest way to get there?"
"Via... Via..." Nell considered. "Ah, heck, we'll take The Bullet..."
"The what...?" Andy asked.
"Engaging The Bullet!" Sami ran over to a switch on a wall, pulling it, and fiddling with some computer controls.
Some Orange Star soldiers ran into the room, grabbing at the rapidly shifting controls. "Ready for takeoff!"
"Good!" Nell smiled. "The Bullet is the fastest plane in the world... We should be able to arrive there in about 5 minutes!"
Andy gaped, as there was a sudden trembling at his feet.
"When did this happen!?" Andy shouted, as he was thrown to the ground as the room tipped, the controls getting higher, and the entire command room shooting forward.
"Didn't I tell you?" Nell asked. "Oh, wait, this was while you were out helping all the COs in the last war against Black Hole..."
Andy screamed, as 'The Bullet' shot forward, and Nell zoomed in on the starting conflict.
There was an army of landers, all coated with silver, at the shores of the small island. Red covered troops were fighting against the silver ones, the two colors of tanks were firing, rockets were being shot off...
Ah, another normal battle, Eagle thought.
After four minutes, there was a call. "We're arriving, Nell..."
"Thank you!" Nell grinned.
The Bullet stopped suddenly, and everybody crashed into the front, because of the sudden movement stop.
"My head hurts..." Andy whined.
"Oh, my aching..." Kanbei rubbed his back.
Even Max and Eagle admitted to being a bit bruised, but everybody recovered quickly. The front of the consoles opened up, revealing the island battlefield in reality.
"Look at it..." Eagle gulped.
"I know! My home!" Rouge shouted. "Fight, troops!"
Andy looked at Nell. "Can we get her down there, she's needed among the troops!"
"Yup!" Nell grinned. "Sami..."
"Will do!" Sami grabbed a switch, and pulled.
Rouge fell down a suddenly opening hole. Andy looked, as the back rotors of the airplane pushed her towards the island, near a safe spot. A red parachute was above her head.
"I meant safely!" Andy cried out.
"She is, they're fighting on the other side of the..."
*POP*
"EEEP!" Rouge shouted, as she went flying out of control, a stray bullet had popped her Parachute.
*THUD*
"Ow, that must have hurt..." Gekiti muttered.
"A lot..." Andy nodded.
"She's safe, don't worry..." Sorias pointed, as some soldiers came and picked up Rouge, carrying her towards the HQ.
"I wonder why they didn't just bomb the HQ..." Eagle wondered.
Everybody turned.
"I mean, look! There's no Air units for a huge distance..." Eagle blinked. "It makes no sense..."
"That's your solution for everything!" Olaf grunted. "Bomb them all..."
"Well, it works!" Eagle shrugged.
"Except when the target has Missles..." Olaf pointed.
At the top of the HQ was a huge set of Missles.
"Oh..." Eagle sighed.
"They must have known in advance that there's no Rockets on the island, only Missles..." Lash muttered. "They... I didn't even know that..."
"This worries me..." Nell muttered.
There was a thud on the roof of The Bullet.
"What the...?" Andy wondered.
The hatch to the roof opened up, and somebody dropped down.
This one was a young woman, with crystal-blue hair and a loose blue top, with a red miniskirt that left a lot of her body open. Her clothes were covered with blood stains, and the left side of her face had a long scar.
"Greetings..." the woman smiled.
"Who are you?" Sami raised her machinegun to point at the woman.
"There's no need..." the woman raised her hand, making a stop gesture. "I'm Actrise, one of the COs of Silver Rose..."
"Silver... Rose...?" Andy blinked. "You mean those are YOUR troops?"
"Aren't they incredible?" Actrise smiled. "You're also going to notice they're all women..."
Nell pulled out some binoculars, and caught sight of a dead silver soldier on the battlefield. Then another.
"You're right!"
Actrise smiled again. "And, once my troops Morale is high enough, my CO Power will wipe the floor with you..."
Actrise pulled out a small pistol, and shot down one of the plane's operators. "Don't you know better then to try and record my data, you fool?"
"How did she know..." even Lash was amazed.
Actrise smiled. "Ah, it's almost time, and then this island will be wiped clean..."
Actrise jumped up, clinging onto the open hatch. "I'm afraid I have to leave..."
She pulled herself up, as Sami opened fire. She missed.
"Damnit!" Sami muttered.
"That's okay, we've still got some information... At least we can give a name to the enemy..." Nell muttered. "The Silver Rose Army..."
"That still doesn't give us a clue as to where they came from..." Olaf muttered. "And what's this about her CO power?"
"Of course, her units have been fighting for so long..." Sorais noticed.
"Wait, I'm getting a transmission..." Nell shushed everybody, as a hologram of Rogue showed up.
"Well, I'm down here, and I'm pumped..." Rogue smiled. "Any advice from up there?"
"Yes, run!" Nell cried out. "Their CO, Actrise, she's about to use her power..."
"Okay, then I'll have to expend my own..." Rogue grinned.
Nell blinked. "W... Wait!"
It was too late. The connection shut.
"She's doing it, look!" Kanbei pointed to a prick of Red Light from the HQ tower.
The Ruby-coated units on the ground noticed, and they fully animated, just like as if they were never hurt.
"Hmm... So this is it... The 'Explosion Ammo' I've heard rumors about..." Geiketi muttered.
"The what?" Andy asked.
"Watch and see..." Geiketi grinned.
Suddenly, there were spreads of Explosions hitting the Silver Rose troops, removing a ton of them.
"'Explosion Ammo'... She arms all of her troops with a 1-use only that is basically like their normal weaponry, except, well, it's quite obvious..." Sorias explained. "Nobody can do anything once it's been used... Unless your power is healing..."
"Of course..." Andy grinned, flipping a wrench in his pocket a couple times.
"Well, there's nothing Actrise can do this time..." Lash muttered. "Mabye these guys aren't invincible..."
"I heard that!" a hologram of Actrise appeared. "Listen, I haven't begun yet!"
There was a prick of silver light coming from a Lander near the shore where Rouge had unceremoniously thudded down.
"She's activating it..." Max gulped.
"Witness the full power of the Silver Star Army, Super Power Crystaline!" Actrise shouted.
"Sup... Super Power!?" Andy gaped. "But... But I thought..."
"It's rare, yes, but she got it so FAST... That's what worries me..." Lash muttered.
"But what is it doing...?"
"Look!" Sami pointed quickly down at a shore, where a Silver Rose Battleship was being bombarded with bazookas from Mechs, and shells from Artillery.
"They're, they're..." Eagle gasped.
"Bouncing off!" Andy shouted.
Indeed, they were, the shots were bouncing off, as if the ship was rubber, firing right back at the targets, the explosive ammo suddenly wiping out ranks of Ruby soldiers.
"It's done..." Olaf gasped.
"They didn't stand a chance..." Kanbei gasped.
"So this is the power of the Silver Rose..." Lash barely managed to get those words out.
"They're... incredible!" Eagle gaped. "I... I couldn't have done any better..."
"Not even Sturm or Andy or any of us could..." Max muttered out.
"And if it's true what they said, that they want Wars World..." Sami gulped.
"I'm not sure if we can stop them..." Andy gasped, looking as the upper levels of the HQ was blown off.
Geiketi and Sorias looked at each other. "Do you think we can take them?" Geiketi asked. "Rouge is down..."
"Yeah, we can try..." Sorias gulped. "But... Without Rouge, we can't..."
"Get down here!"
A hologram appeared, showing Rouge, wounded. "I need airlift out of here, fast!"
"We don't have enough soldiers..." Nell looked. "Sami, Andy, Lash, anybody up for it?"
"I'll do it..." Geiketi grinned. "Don't worry, I used to be a soldier myself, I was part of the Mechanized Infantry that captured the Black Hole HQ in the First War, don't you remember?"
"I... I do!" Andy gaped, recognizing him. "I figured you'd go far..."
Geiketi grinned. "So this kind of mission means nothing to me! Drop me down..."
"Do you want your soldiers with you?" Nell asked.
"Yes, drop them with me, I might very well need backup..." Geiketi grinned.
"Okay, we'll do it..." Nell smiled. "Sami, prepare for another drop..."
"Doing it!" Sami muttered.
Another hologram appeared, Sonja's face, near Rouge. "You've got about 12 minutes before the Silver Rose soldiers get here..."
"Sonja, dear, you're not..." Kanbei gaped.
"Yes, I'm down here, with Rouge! Screw taking a vacation, you've got to get here fast!" Sonja cried out.
"Sonja, dear, I'm coming!" Kanbei looked to Sami. "Send me down!"
"You too!?" Sami gaped. "O... Okay..."
"Wait, we don't need two COs to be ki..." Nell tried to call out, but they were gone, along with their small armies, airdropping down to the beach, the only place even slightly safe.
"Go, go, go!" Andy cried out. "I wanna help them!"
"You're not experianced enough..." Sami muttered. "You've only seen the wars from afar, never up close like all of us!"
Andy pouted.
"You're so cute when you pout..." Sami traced Andy's chin with her finger.
"Really?" Andy asked.
"Which is why I don't want you going down there!" Sami grinned. "I just hope they're going to be okay..."

"You still haven't told us anything!" Rouge cried out.
"You... You're Rouge of the Ruby River, aren't you?" the man's eyebrow raised.
"Ye... Yes... Why?" Rouge asked.
"Very well, you're next..." the image fizzled out completely.
The world globe thingy reappeared, hovering, and there was another Red Dot now.
"That's my home!" Rouge looked at the little island where the red dot was blinking.
"That's what he meant!" Nell gasped. "We've got to move it and get there fast!"
"O... Okay!" Andy nodded. "What's the quickest way to get there?"
"Via... Via..." Nell considered. "Ah, heck, we'll take The Bullet..."
"The what...?" Andy asked.
"Engaging The Bullet!" Sami ran over to a switch on a wall, pulling it, and fiddling with some computer controls.
Some Orange Star soldiers ran into the room, grabbing at the rapidly shifting controls. "Ready for takeoff!"

"Look at it..." Eagle gulped.
"I know! My home!" Rouge shouted. "Fight, troops!"
Andy looked at Nell. "Can we get her down there, she's needed among the troops!"
"Yup!" Nell grinned. "Sami..."
"Will do!" Sami grabbed a switch, and pulled.
Rouge fell down a suddenly opening hole. Andy looked, as the back rotors of the airplane pushed her towards the island, near a safe spot. A red parachute was above her head.
"I meant safely!" Andy cried out.
"She is, they're fighting on the other side of the..."
*POP*
"EEEP!" Rouge shouted, as she went flying out of control, a stray bullet had popped her Parachute.
*THUD*
"Ow, that must have hurt..." Gekiti muttered.
"A lot..." Andy nodded.
"She's safe, don't worry..." Sorias pointed, as some soldiers came and picked up Rouge, carrying her towards the HQ.
"I wonder why they didn't just bomb the HQ..." Eagle wondered.
Everybody turned.
"I mean, look! There's no Air units for a huge distance..." Eagle blinked. "It makes no sense..."
"That's your solution for everything!" Olaf grunted. "Bomb them all..."

"Greetings..." the woman smiled.
"Who are you?" Sami raised her machinegun to point at the woman.
"There's no need..." the woman raised her hand, making a stop gesture. "I'm Actrise, one of the COs of Silver Rose..."
"Silver... Rose...?" Andy blinked. "You mean those are YOUR troops?"
"Aren't they incredible?" Actrise smiled. "You're also going to notice they're all women..."
Nell pulled out some binoculars, and caught sight of a dead silver soldier on the battlefield. Then another.
"You're right!"
Actrise smiled again. "And, once my troops Morale is high enough, my CO Power will wipe the floor with you..."
Actrise pulled out a small pistol, and shot down one of the plane's operators. "Don't you know better then to try and record my data, you fool?"
"How did she know..." even Lash was amazed.
Actrise smiled. "Ah, it's almost time, and then this island will be wiped clean..."
Actrise jumped up, clinging onto the open hatch. "I'm afraid I have to leave..."
She pulled herself up, as Sami opened fire. She missed.
"Damnit!" Sami muttered.
"That's okay, we've still got some information... At least we can give a name to the enemy..." Nell muttered. "The Silver Rose Army..."
"That still doesn't give us a clue as to where they came from..." Olaf muttered. "And what's this about her CO power?"
"Of course, her units have been fighting for so long..." Sorais noticed.
"Wait, I'm getting a transmission..." Nell shushed everybody, as a hologram of Rogue showed up.
"Well, I'm down here, and I'm pumped..." Rogue smiled. "Any advice from up there?"
"Yes, run!" Nell cried out. "Their CO, Actrise, she's about to use her power..."
"Okay, then I'll have to expend my own..." Rogue grinned.
Nell blinked. "W... Wait!"
It was too late. The connection shut.
"She's doing it, look!" Kanbei pointed to a prick of Red Light from the HQ tower.
The Ruby-coated units on the ground noticed, and they fully animated, just like as if they were never hurt.
"Hmm... So this is it... The 'Explosion Ammo' I've heard rumors about..." Geiketi muttered.
"The what?" Andy asked.
"Watch and see..." Geiketi grinned.
Suddenly, there were spreads of Explosions hitting the Silver Rose troops, removing a ton of them.
"'Explosion Ammo'... She arms all of her troops with a 1-use only that is basically like their normal weaponry, except, well, it's quite obvious..." Sorias explained. "Nobody can do anything once it's been used... Unless your power is healing..."
"Of course..." Andy grinned, flipping a wrench in his pocket a couple times.
"Well, there's nothing Actrise can do this time..." Lash muttered. "Mabye these guys aren't invincible..."
"I heard that!" a hologram of Actrise appeared. "Listen, I haven't begun yet!"
There was a prick of silver light coming from a Lander near the shore where Rouge had unceremoniously thudded down.
"She's activating it..." Max gulped.
"Witness the full power of the Silver Star Army, Super Power Crystaline!" Actrise shouted.
"Sup... Super Power!?" Andy gaped. "But... But I thought..."
"It's rare, yes, but she got it so FAST... That's what worries me..." Lash muttered.
"But what is it doing...?"
"Look!" Sami pointed quickly down at a shore, where a Silver Rose Battleship was being bombarded with bazookas from Mechs, and shells from Artillery.
"They're, they're..." Eagle gasped.
"Bouncing off!" Andy shouted.
Indeed, they were, the shots were bouncing off, as if the ship was rubber, firing right back at the targets, the explosive ammo suddenly wiping out ranks of Ruby soldiers.
"It's done..." Olaf gasped.
"They didn't stand a chance..." Kanbei gasped.
"So this is the power of the Silver Rose..." Lash barely managed to get those words out.
"They're... incredible!" Eagle gaped. "I... I couldn't have done any better..."
"Not even Sturm or Andy or any of us could..." Max muttered out.
"And if it's true what they said, that they want Wars World..." Sami gulped.
"I'm not sure if we can stop them..." Andy gasped, looking as the upper levels of the HQ was blown off.
Geiketi and Sorias looked at each other. "Do you think we can take them?" Geiketi asked. "Rouge is down..."
"Yeah, we can try..." Sorias gulped. "But... Without Rouge, we can't..."
"Get down here!"
A hologram appeared, showing Rouge, wounded. "I need airlift out of here, fast!"
"We don't have enough soldiers..." Nell looked. "Sami, Andy, Lash, anybody up for it?"
"I'll do it..." Geiketi grinned. "Don't worry, I used to be a soldier myself, I was part of the Mechanized Infantry that captured the Black Hole HQ in the First War, don't you remember?"
"I... I do!" Andy gaped, recognizing him. "I figured you'd go far..."
Geiketi grinned. "So this kind of mission means nothing to me! Drop me down..."
"Do you want your soldiers with you?" Nell asked.
"Yes, drop them with me, I might very well need backup..." Geiketi grinned.
"Okay, we'll do it..." Nell smiled. "Sami, prepare for another drop..."
"Doing it!" Sami muttered.
Another hologram appeared, Sonja's face, near Rouge. "You've got about 12 minutes before the Silver Rose soldiers get here..."
"Sonja, dear, you're not..." Kanbei gaped.
"Yes, I'm down here, with Rouge! Screw taking a vacation, you've got to get here fast!" Sonja cried out.
"Sonja, dear, I'm coming!" Kanbei looked to Sami. "Send me down!"
"You too!?" Sami gaped. "O... Okay..."
"Wait, we don't need two COs to be ki..." Nell tried to call out, but they were gone, along with their small armies, airdropping down to the beach, the only place even slightly safe.
"Go, go, go!" Andy cried out. "I wanna help them!"
"You're not experianced enough..." Sami muttered. "You've only seen the wars from afar, never up close like all of us!"
Andy pouted.
"You're so cute when you pout..." Sami traced Andy's chin with her finger.
"Really?" Andy asked.
"Which is why I don't want you going down there!" Sami grinned. "I just hope they're going to be okay..."
