Conquest

.

.

It was a beautiful day, the sun is out, the grass was freshly cut and swaying with the gentle wind and the animals are enjoying the beautiful day; everything was peaceful. That is until a low rumble started to sound and the ground started to shake, all the animals stop when they felt the ground shake and heard the low rumble, soon enough the shaking intensified and the rumble became louder. The animals then started to scatter to make wave for a battalion of tanks, soldiers and military Jeeps passing by them. The whole army halted when the lead tank, decorated with purple banners with the letters SPQR, stopped. The hatch on top of the modern tank opened and Jack Rose emerges from the hatch, all dressed in white Imperial Garments, gold stripes on his collar and sleeves, with a purple tunic and on his head, he sported a green Corona Radiata crown.

He took out his binoculars and looked through them and saw his target city; Washington D.C. He smiled when he saw an army coming to meet him, and in front was a Jeep with his best friend on it. Jack order the tank he was on to continue forward. Ben's army stopped behind him, but Ben's Jeep continued through. Both tank and Jeep started to slow down when they got closer, and when they were close enough, both vehicles stopped.

Jack, lean in on his tank from his hatch and looked down on Ben. He smiled, "I must say, I never expected you to fight back as much when I invaded your land,"

Ben smirked, "Knowing you, I had to prepare myself,"

"Still, we're in the final 30 turns of the game, more than enough time for me to conquer your land,"

Ben order his Jeep to go back to his army, and he shouted back to Jack, "Come and try,"

Jack smirked, once he saw that Ben returned to his army, he turned and shouted, "LEGION! MARCH FORWARD AND ATTACK!"

His tank started to move forward, including his whole army behind him. He went back into the tank and he sealed the hatch. He ordered his modern tank and two other tank divisions to attack some of Ben's own tanks, while some of his other tanks attacked Ben's tanks and marine units. Jack order his rocket artillery to start heading to Ben's capital city; Washington D.C. and they were accompanied by Jack's own marine unit and mechanized infantry. They were stopped short as soon as an attack helicopter destroyed one of his rocket artillery.

Jack smirked, "SAMS UNITS, DESTROY THOSE HELICOPTERS,"

The three SAM units that Jack left back, but close enough in the battlefield, opened fired and destroyed the helicopters. Ben face grimmed, but he quickly shrugged it off and put on a face with determination written, he sent his stealth bomber and fighter jets to attack Jack's army.

The combined attack of both Ben's planes and ground vehicles, where taking a toll on Jack's army, but Jack smirked he had one more trick up his sleeves. Washington D.C. was a city close the ocean, so it was a perfect opportunity to unveil Jack's Navy that just arrived from Rome. His destroyers and battleships units provided range attacks, he used his missile cruiser to launch guided missiles to destroy Ben's bombers. Plus, his carriers provided him with air support by launching his fighter jets and started decimating Ben's grounded units.

Ben was back in his capital after his Jeep was destroyed in the battle, he looked in horror, as Jack's army was destroying his.

Jack then focused his attention to Washington, he ordered more guided missiles and ranged attacks from his Navy, his fighter jets bombarded the city and his infantry was destroying the remaining units Ben had protecting the city.

Ben closed his eyes as his city is fallen to Jack's Legions.

Jack quickly stood up from his chair in a victory whoop, as he stared at his computer screen when the game was finished and declare him the victor of the game by completing the said game with a domination victory. He started to dance until the game alerted him, he stopped his celebration dance and looked at the screen, he saw that his capital city of Rome was nuked, by Ben himself. He stood there in awe, he knew that the game gave the players choice to continue with the game, so Ben must have nuked his city.

"Son of a bitch," Jack simply said while staring at the screen with disbelief. He got an alert from his scroll, he picked it up and saw that Ben sent him a picture, he opened it and it shows Ben flipping him off with the caption "Payback is a Bitch"

Jack fumed in anger, and he replied challenging him to another round. Which Ben accepted.

The entire Rose family were resting on the couch enjoying their weekly movie night, well . . . everyone except for Jack. Ever since he started playing a computer game called Civilization. He's been playing that game every night by himself, or with Ben.

The game is very simple to understand, you start off by choosing a civilization, from the existing and past civilizations of Remnant, or to create one entirely, then the player must build the civilization, expand it, research sciences, create cultural and/or build up your military so your civilization can stand the test of time. Jack has been using a civilization called the Roman Empire based off an empire by the same name from a book series he's been reading that takes place in an alternate world. What he liked about this empire, it was a superpower during 4 books out of the 30-books series, the civilization was introduced during the 5th book as a small city-state, then the city grew, conquer land, grew it's military and soon, they controlled the peninsula they were on. They've become a Republic and they continue to grow, defeating other powers and gaining more lands, soon the Republic fell and the Empire was born, which for the first 200 years of the new empire, they've experienced a golden age. Sadly, Romans had a civil war which broke them in two, and they collapsed years later. Throughout the entire book series, other civilizations tried to bring back the glory of Rome, or copy of them, but they never came close to become glorious as they did.

Every time Jack played Civilization, he feels like he truly restores the glory of Rome and he relished in it.

The entire family was watching a movie peacefully until they heard Jack coming down the stairs, singing, and dancing. Elizabeth turned her head and had a scowl on her face, directed at Jack, but Jack kept sing and dancing. Elizabeth just rolled her eyes and shook her head and went back to watch the movie. But they couldn't concentrate on Jack's constant noise making from the kitchen, eventually, Elizabeth paused the movie, stood up and walked over to Jack.

"What's your problem!?" she shouted at him.

Jack stood there, one hand holding a mayo jar and the other with a knife inside the jar, "Nothing . . . just making a sandwich,"

"Then what's with your constant sing, dancing and not to mention your yelling from upstairs,"

"What? I'm celebrating, I've just won another game, this time, no domination," Jack said shrugging.

Elizabeth was fuming, "NO ONE CARES BUT YOU, WE'RE TRYING TO ENJOY MOVIE NIGHT, BUT WE CAN'T BECAUSE OF YOUR CONSTANT RUCKUS!"

Jack stood there for a couple of seconds until he asked, "It's movie night,"

Elizabeth stood there, shocked, "You forgot it was movie night?"

"I thought today was Friday," responded Jack.

Again, Elizabeth just stood there in shock, "You're unbelievable,"

Ruby came into the kitchen and just said to Jack, "It's fine, you forgot, it happens, why don't you come join us, we're about to start our second movie,"

"Oh, well . . . sure," responded Jack.

Ruby smiled, "Well then come on then,"

Jack left with his mother, Elizabeth stood there in the kitchen, leaning on the kitchen island/table. Her brother has become obsessed with the Civilization game, while she wasn't worried about it at first, she now is. He looks back and see Jack sitting down with the rest of his family, "At least he's taking a break,"

But Elizabeth knows, that she needs to break Jack out of his obsession with the game, to take him down a few pegs, after his losing streak, he's gotten better and won every match; which started giving him a big head. One that's annoying Elizabeth to the core.

She has a plan how to defeat him at his own game, so he doesn't become a complete jerk. She smirked and returned to join her family.

The next day, she went to the local dinner near her house, one that she, Jack and Ben frequents. She's sitting in a booth, waiting for someone. A couple of minutes pass and Ben showed up and took a seat right across from her.

"So, what's up?" asked Ben.

Elizabeth shrugged, "Can't I hang out with my friend?"

Ben chuckled and shrugged, and Elizabeth continued, "I act like I hate my brother, but to the contrary, I love him. He gets on my nerves sure, but that's what brother do. Although, the reason I called you here is that, if his attitude becomes worse, then I will hate him,"

Ben crossed his arms, "You're talking about him and Civilization?"

Elizabeth nodded, "Since his victories increased, he's gotten a big head, and becoming a jerk. It needs to stop,"

Ben grimly nodded, "I agree . . . So, you have a plan or something?"

Elizabeth nodded and replied, "You teach me how to play Civilization and then I'll challenge Jack and hopefully beat him,"

"You can't go up against him all by yourself,"

"Why not?"

"Because I've gone up against him a lot, and most of the time, he won," replied Ben

"But he still lost in some matches," said Elizabeth

Ben nodded and continued, "Yes, but that was when he was still getting a feel for the game. If I teach you, then you'll know everything I know, and I tried everything I know against him,"

"Yes . . . but I'll come up with strategies that he's never experienced before," replied Elizabeth.

"I hope you're right,"

Ben started to teach Elizabeth the game of Civilization, he installed the game on her desktop and proceeded to teach her. He showed her the tutorial first, then set up her first game with a Chieftain difficulty, Ben sitting next to her, telling her to do things this way and that way. She won that game with a time victory, but with her score, she was ranked in the bottom. Her next game she won with a diplomatic victory, and she was ranked higher than her first game; granted it was still rank low. Her third game, Ben just stood there observing Elizabeth's moves, and she changed her difficulty to Warlord. She was struggling at first, but soon she picked up her pace, she won the game with a time victory, and her score was lower than last time. For a whole week, she played the game with Ben to prepare for her confrontation with Jack. The last game she played, she played on the Immortal difficulty and won with a domination and her score ranked her high. She was ready, she felt ready.

Ben sighed, "You're ready,"

Elizabeth got up from her chair and turned to him, "You still don't have faith in me,"

"I'm sorry Elizabeth, you're good, but Jack is even better. I'm telling you, if I played with you, be there as another Civilization, then we might have a chance against Jack,"

Elizabeth sighed, "I don't know,"

Then they heard the door opening from Jack's room down the hall, he came walking down then stopped when he peeked inside Elizabeth's room.

"Hey guys, what's up?" he asked.

"Nothing," both replied. Good thing Elizabeth turned her monitor off before Jack came in.

"Huh uh, anyway, Ben when are you coming back to Civilization? I miss kicking your ass," he replied with a smug smile.

Ben clenched his fists and replied, "Soon,"

"Alright, laters, I'm going back and win again," Jack then left the room and Ben turned to Elizabeth and begged her to let him be with her to take down Jack.

"Okay, okay . . . besides . . . I do think I need help," said Elizabeth.

"It's okay, we'll beat him, we have to," said Ben.

"Okay, okay, let me get this straight. You two want to challenge me in Civilization?" asked Jack struggling to say it out loud while he was laughing.

"Yes," nodded Elizabeth along with Ben.

"Well, alright, it would be fun wiping the floor with you two," said Jack.

"We'll join too,"

All three teenagers turned to where the voice was coming from, they were in the living room and they faced the kitchen area. Ruby, Weiss, Alex, and Max stood there.

"Jack, this game is turning you into a jerk," said Max

"How?"

"Every time you win, you boast how good you are," Max continued.

"Isn't that the point?" asked Jack with a perplexed look on his face.

"You do it so much that makes you a complete asshole!" he exclaimed to his older brother.

"MAX!" Weiss chastise her son's language.

"Sorry mom," replied Max.

"We know about Elizabeth's plan to take you down in this game so you'll stop being a jerk, but we hope that you'll realize it yourself," said Ruby to her son.

Jack scoffed, "I'm not being a jerk, I'm just stating a fact that I'm the best civilization player on here. But if you guys think you can take me down, then come at me, I'm always down for a challenge,"

"Tomorrow, at noon then. Deity difficulty," Elizabeth exclaimed.

Ben, Jack, Ruby, Weiss, Max, and Alex all nodded in agreement.

"Game On," Jack said.

Turns out, Jack is not as a great civilization player he once thought himself to be, his friend and family defeated him, although, he did put up a good fight. He survived their first attacks early in the game, Ben must have told them how he's good at using his military units during the modern age, so they tried to take care of him early on, but he survived. He destroyed Max and Alex's Egyptian civilization after they attacked him, after all, they were closed to him than the others. He also got rid of two AI civilizations on his small continent.

He was able to form alliances with AI Germany and AI Spain, and he formed good trade deals with them. He even traded with his mothers, sister, and best friends, but he was careful on what he traded to them. Once he reached the modern age, he had 5 out of his 9 cities to pump out military units, he would suffer from it, but he made sure to conquer most of the map to win a domination victory.

He had trouble with his navies, no thanks to his mothers' civilization; England, who were superior with their navy compared to him. Nerveless, Jack could transport his Legions from his continents to the other. Ben and Elizabeth were giving Jack trouble with their ground forces, plus his mothers' naval ships providing bombardment on his Legion was not helping. Overall, he managed to capture a couple of cities from both his sister and best friend, but in the end, he lost all those fronts. While he was regrouping back at his territory, all three invaded him, thankfully he hold off until the game ended, but he didn't win the time victory, it was his mothers'

"Sorry guys, I really was a jerk, that defeat was the kick I needed to see it," said Jack.

"It's fine, just watch your ego next time, okay," Ruby said ruffling his hair.
