ADVANCE WARS
-
The last night was a bitter one, winter was moving in on Wars World. All of the leaves were changing into different colors and falling off of the trees. On a border patrol for the Orange Star Army, reports of rioting in the not that well defended cities came in. "Colonel Marsh!" a husky general called out after reading the reports.
A shorter muscular type guy who had been a colonel now for a long time now because of an accidental misfire during the last invasion of the Black Hole Army came into the dimly lit tent, medals of all sort were on his chest showing his loyalty in battle and obedience outside of battle. "Yes general?"
The general leaned back in his chair, arms folded in front of him. "I need you to take your battalion off of the borders and bring them into the cities, there have been a few riots lately and CO Nell thinks the Black Hole Army won't be back for awhile."
Marsh shuddered at the thought of going to help get rid of the rioters who had already resisted and killed some infantry units so far "Yes, Sir" he replied.
The General sat started to slouch "you will receive further information at the debriefing room."
Marsh started to leave but the General stopped him "look towards promotion to the CO academy after you deal with the riots depending on how well you do."
Marsh looked at him with surprise "thank you sir! Do you think I have a chance at making it to CO?"
The general looked him over carefully, "you have as much of a chance as anyone else, maybe even a little more."
Marsh opens the tent door and with a final "Thank you" leaves the general's tent. Entering the debriefing room in the main tent all of the men inside stood at attention and saluted. Marsh walked across and notice a newspaper on one of the tables, the headlines read: Another Riot in the Capital City of Orange Star. When he finally made it to where the officer was the officer noticed him, "oh-yes, Colonel Marsh I believe, I am Captain Goodman, as you have probably already heard, another riot has happened. Many have died and buildings have been burnt to the ground."
Marsh shifted uneasily, "and I heard that I was chosen to go to the riots."
Goodman pointed at the board, "correct, you'll have to come in from the north because of the intense rioting in the southern part of the city."
Marsh looked over the map, "Why the sudden ferocious rioting?"
Goodman pointed at Black Hole, "If my suspicions are right it's either because the people don't like us having all of these wars with Black Hole, or Black Hole is up to something."

In a part of Blue Moon in a cave unknown to anyone but the workers. Stalactites and stalagmites were being cleared away by bulldozers and other machinery while supplies were being shipped. The foreman looked up from his set of blue prints, "why the heck do the people in the mysterious letter want an underground building for?"
A young apprentice looked up from the work he was doing, "who cares? They're paying us really good, isn't that what matters?"
The foreman looked back down at his blueprints muttering to himself, "I guess; I just hope that I'm not helping the Black Hole Army, this area over here look like a factory of some sort that I've never built before."
A stranger walks up behind him, "yes, that is a factory, we're making these really expensive stuff for rich people."
The foreman jumped in surprise, "you scared the crap out of me! You must be the representative of the people who want to build this…thing. I'm the foreman Greg Johnson."
The stranger stuck out his hand warmly, "nice to meet you Greg, my name is Russel, I overheard you saying that you hope the Black Hole Army isn't making this, well, you don't have to worry about that, the people who are making this building and factory probably hate Black Hole more than you."
Greg shook his head, "I doubt anyone hates Black Hole more than me, I fought in the first war that Black Hole made, and I regret killing any of those Orange Star soldiers." Russel shrugs, "I'd better get going to the next job." Greg focused back on his blueprints, "he said that they were making stuff for rich people, if that's the case, why the secret exit?"

The leaves of the trees rustled outside of the huge military office building, smoke could be seen rising from the southern horizon. A few young adults were leaving the building after joining the Orange Star military. Orange Star is usually a peaceful country, but lately there was some rioting going on for no apparent reason yet known. People who had been arrested were interrogated but the only thing that any of them would say is, "we want peace. Disband your entire military or else these riots will continue."
Nell was in her luxurious, wide spaced office building. Over the purple carpeting was a huge rug with the Orange Star symbol in the middle. The blinds were open, letting the sun shine brightly through the windows. Nell wore a purple dress that went down to about the knees. She also had flowing blonde hair that fell down to her upper back. Nell was the leading CO in the Orange Star military. She was respected by many nations for her knowledge and ability to finish a war quickly. She was busy reading some of the financial reports due to the rioting when there was a knock on the door. "Come in."
The door opened and in came one of her top intelligence officers. "CO Nell, we have some startling reports. There has been multiple riots now in the countries of Blue Moon, Green Earth, Yellow Comet, and Black Hole. In one of the pockets of a Yellow Comet citizen police found a piece of paper with information on upcoming riots. Someone has to be behind all of this, it couldn't be Black Hole because they have been rioted too."
Nell took the reports from him. "Are you sure Capt. Earle? Maybe Black Hole have been faking that they have had riot attacks to make us think that they're not the ones behind all of this."
Capt. Earle replied, "we are positive. The Blackbirds that are over there have some good photos there on page fourteen."
Nell flipped to page fourteen, "yes, you're right. Why would the Black Hole Army fake the riots, they are fairly expensive. Did you notice anything odd when you visited the prisons yesterday?"
Capt. Earle shook his head, "I'm afraid not, they all looked like innocent civilians to me, most were middle class too, so it's not like they're a bunch of bums."
There was a sudden knock on the door. "Come in." called Nell.
A woman came running in, "CO Max is on line three wanting to talk to you, he sounds pretty upset." END OF CHAPTER ONE
I know, I know, it's sort of slow to start but it will hopefully pick up after awhile.
So what do you think of it? Please review and tell me because I want to know if I should stop this one and make another one. Thanks.
