The Battle of Draganisia:

As both armies gathered they all knew what was coming next. Jake knew the plan. “In order to keep them away from the city we have to stop them here. Our air forces will engage their Airship fleet while the rest of us take out their ground forces head on. If we fail here there will be nothing left to stop them from destroying Draganisia and everyone in it.”

Jesse however didn’t like how it was going. “There is still much more to this than we know. There has to be. I feel like this whole battle is just one big trap.”

Jake agreed in a way. “Because it is. If we don’t stop them here they will surround the city and wipe us out. We have to hit them now or else it’s already over.”

Brian went in front of all of them in his Dragon form and took out his sword from it’s sheath as on the other side of the field Mara and Makarov did the same.

Both armies readied their guns and other weapons as both armies charged at each other. One way or another it was going to end here… Or so they all thought.

The Main Tanks stayed back and we’re used as Artillery as air squadrons engaged each other overhead. This was the largest battle anyone there had seen since the Great Oceanic War at the very least.

As the armies fought each other Brian got into one on one combat against Mara while Jesse and Jake did the same against Makarov as their forces fought all around them.

Eventually Jesse and Jake were both knocked down hard by Makarov as explosions happened around them as the battle continued.

Makarov mocked them. “You really think that you can beat me? That you can stop the coming Darkness? No. You will die here and the Darkness will reward me with more power than you could ever dream of. I gave you plenty of chances to join us but you continue to refuse. Now I ask you one last time. Join us and we will bring Salvation to the entire Galaxy!”

“You know that is never going to happen!” Jesse answered.

“Yes I do.”

Jesse got up and felt renewed. He started attacking Makarov with a vengeance. It was getting harder for Makarov to block his sword attacks as the battle continued.

Eventually Jesse knocked Makarov to the ground as Jake stood next to him.

Jake. “I wanted to believe that a part of my brother was still in there. But it’s clear now that he is truly dead. Before we have our vengeance give a message to your Darkness masters.”

Jake then stabbed Makarov through the heart with his sword. “Tell them that we are coming for them!”

While Jake stabbed him Jesse then cleaved off Makarov’s head. “Nevermind. We will tell them ourselves.”

Meanwhile Brian continued to fight Mara but neither of them gained an advantage because they were too evenly matched. “I don’t want to fight you Mara but I can’t let you destroy everyone here either.”

When Makarov died it sent out a shockwave of energy. It looked like it weakened the other Dark Dragons near them or at the very least confused them? Was Jesse’s theory true? Had he been controlling them the whole time or at the very least had they been drawing power from him?

Either way it seemed to be enough to turn the tide of the battle as the Dark Dragons began to retreat even though Mara was still fighting.

“Its over.” Brian told her. “Stop fighting and we can still peacefully end this.”

Mara however didn’t believe him. “Is that the same offer you gave our father before you and Gladius stabbed him in the back?! I would rather die fighting than be executed like a coward!”

Brian. “If you don’t surrender now I can guarantee that you will die because if I don’t kill you than they will.” He said while pointing to Jesse and Jake who were both approaching with their swords still drawn. “Its over Mara! I didn’t want to kill our father but if I didn’t than he would have willingly gave us to the Darkness just like Makarov wanted to. Please don’t make the same mistake he did.”

--- A few hours earlier ---

*located deep in the southwestern forests of the Rowandale continent, a small group of twelve cloaked individuals were gathered round a large stone circle slab. nothing but a few torches lit the area that which they stood around.

Male Hooded Figure 1: The growing imbalance afflicting Abbaddon is beginning to take it's toll. The element of darkness, growing desperate to maintain its presence here, now hangs by a thread...

Male Hooded Figure 2: Should light continue its offensive, darkness will be destroyed. If that is to happen, there will no longer be an Abbaddon. the world will crack open from the instability, bringing an end to all life here...

Familiar Hooded Figure: ... We have always maintained solidarity from the conflicts of Abbaddon, however as these events have continue to transpire, we are now no longer able to ignore it. we now much act, lest this world be lost...

Hooded Figure 3: Doing so will risk us being made known to the world. such intervention must be covered carefully if we are to maintain our solidarity...

Familiar Female Hooded Figure: I am fully aware, and i do believe that i am capable of covering that without jeopardising our solidarity. I am a familiar face to most of the world, yet they do not know that i still live here in Abbaddon... I will intervene and repel light's offensive against darkness. Lest we all forget, it is our role here to maintain the natural balance of Abbaddon. we all have our affiliated elements to protect, darkness being my own to do so...

Female Hooded Figure 4: Agreed... Regardless of whether or not we remain hidden from the world, we cannot ignore the fact that our role is to prevent a cataclysmic imbalance of Abbaddon.

Male Hooded Figure 2: Then we are all in agreement? we are to intervene, but maintain our secrecy unless our options are depleted...

Male Hooded Figure 1: Go with strength, child of darkness...

*at that moment, the familiar hooded figure departs from the stone table, the rest soon leave after...*

RP:

Mara didn't want to fight either but there was much more going on than any of them knew. She knew what she had to do even if they didn't like it.

Mara. "You really think I wanted this? Makarov manipulated us all and he paid the price for it but he was also a necessary evil to help fix the real problem. You betrayed us all. Instead of standing with us you killed your own family!"

Brian. "What our father wanted to do went against the teachings of Bahamut himself. After everything you have done you are lucky to have survived this long!"

Mara. "What I have done is necessary to save all of Abbaddon. Sometimes a few must die so that everyone else can live. You know that as well."

Brian. "Perhaps. But I will never let you destroy Draganisia no matter what stupid reason you come up with. And if you won't stand down than I will do what I must."

They fought some more with their swords and as Mara's forces continued to retreat Brian was able to knock her onto her knees. "I am sorry Mara. But if you won't back down than I will do what I have to in order to protect my people... No matter how much I don't want to."

He brought up his sword ready to execute her as she looked right into his eyes. "Do what you have to traitor!"

Daily Discussions!

Is the current setup of the World Assembly good or bad? If bad how can it be improved? What could our region do to make it better at the regional level?

OOC

Well... My military staged a coup, and now my nation's government is autocratic.

DOWN WITH THE WA! GLORY TO ST ABBADDON!

We could probably improve our region by repealing the St Abbaddon Liberation Act

It's comments like these which are unnecessary.

Don't push it.

I don't think they meant any harm through the message.

Let them be

Ok.

If you have no problems with it than it's fine.

Was just being sure.

After pondering what just happened, and reading your post... This would be a good plot for a role-playing post.

For the record I am voting FOR the repeal of the Pacific's condemnation.

I believe that their government really has changed for the better since then so the condemnation served it's purpose and is no longer needed.

And if they do something bad in the future someone can always write up a new condemnation based on what they did.

I'm also voting to repeal it.

Have they shown us actual proof of change? or have they just not done anything as bad since the condemnation

Daily Question!!

What is the meaning for your nations flag? Who was its designer? What special stories do you have for your countries flag?

Allangoria wrote:Daily Question!!

My flag was originally designed by a friend whom I call Catylistia. I was in a nation-roleplay discord server and I needed a flag for my nation: Moscow-Kazan. I made a horrible-looking flag, so Catylistia made the one I currently use.

I had to fix the flag a bit using an editing program, as I had pixelated the flag so much. But yeah, this flag design was originally created by Catylistia.

The negative part of this flag is it makes me look like I have a communist nation. It's not a communist nation.
