16. Swamp War and Politics.
Screen opens to the meeting room where all the Presidents take there seats. President Armstrong sitting in the middle seat.
Armstrong- Alright it's nice to see you've all managed to make it to the meeting and we can begin the meeting. Let's start with the war reclaiming parts of America. As you can see from the maps we got from our military satellites we've manage to retake most of America territory's. However as you can see the middle states are struggling due to the terrain and the amount of time it takes to get supply's to them.
Franklin [WW2 President]- So what is the plans to get supply's to them.
Armstrong- We've managed to use our planes and helicopter to get supply's out to them. Also where producing train tracks and roads. But it could take up to seven or ten years to finish all roads to each state.
Woodrow [WW1 President]- I head from my soldiers in Florida there struggling to take out the kingdom out there.
Armstrong- Ah. Yes they where struggling because the swamps carry's a Magic kingdoms. They've used the swamps for hit and run tactics along with there Magic's makes it hard for our ground Soldiers respond. However we managed to get some assistance from the locals. And they should be taking the main castle soon.
Screen changes to an open muddy area of swamp with the Castle Ben-Don built on a giant rock in the middle of the swamp with a small town around normal land with a brick castle wall. There's a stone walkway to the castle. Screen changes to inside the main castle meeting room.
Raya [King]- This war is a disaster. Even with using the swamp there be here any second.
Wonda [Head Witch and Vampire]- My king my illusionist managed to find that Pope Tur-End.
Lancer [Lord and Werewolf]- This can't be happening. How dare he betrays us.
Raya [King and High Elf]- Enough. We all knew he was disappointed stripping him of head leader of the Magic School. But it's to late to change that now. What I need to know is can we hold them off.
Wonda [Head Witch and High Elf]- I'm afraid not my king. At this rate there be here soon and our tunnel system is slowly being over ran. Even with the Magic Barrier we might only be able to hold out for three days. And I've got word they've captured other kingdoms through out the lands.
Lance [Lord]- So what are you saying Wonda?
Wonda- I'm saying this battle is lost. Even if we use all our Magic Cannons and Mages we wont put a dent in there army. So the best action would be to negotiate with them. So our ideas wont be eradicated my king.
Lancer- Are you insane. To give in to these barbarians. To throw away the lives of our servants you've lost it.
Wonda- And burning everything down a good idea to you. If they spared Pope Tur-End there willing to negotiate. And they've haven't killed or raided any of the towns.
Raya- I said enough. Wonda put up the Magic Barrier. We will try and repeal there forces with what we have if we fail then where negotiate. So gather up the remaining forces for one last push. You two understand.
Lancer and Wonda- Yes our King.
As they left the room the queen walks in hold a baby in her hands. She wearing robs that represent the night sky.
Woona [Queen]- Dear what is going on.
Raya- Nothing my queen just the war.
Woone- Dear the word around the castle is where losing the war is this true.
Raya- Yes we are. I'm going to try one more push before opening up talks. If things don't go well take the escape tunnels with our son and avenge me.

As they kiss the screen changes to Alpha Two and Soldiers from all the other nations pushing through the swamp to the Castle. They have only a few HUMVEE's with them.
Robert [WW1 Soldier]- This place horrible. With the monster and everything I can't wait to get this over with.
Oliver [WW2 Soldier]- I agree with that. I mean I'm fine with being shot at. But being attacked by Werewolf's, Vampires, and giant shrimp I'm done being here to.
Alpha Two- Keep your eyes open men. We could be ambushed again so be vigilant.
Robert- Come now commander there nothing for miles. HU!?
Alpha Two- Hit the Dirt men!
That when a Magic Arrow slams into a tree next to the soldier. And cuts through the tree Olive grabs Robert and yanks him away of the falling tree. Alpha One takes out his sniper and manages to kill the Magic Archer. That when Werewolf Knights appear out from being invisible out of no where and charge at them from a few feet away from them. Alpha Two drops his sniper and pulls out his rifle.
[Werewolf Knights Description- There wearing light armor to move fast while carrying a giant thick great sword. They have robes that blind in with the muddy area].
[Vampire Mages- There dressed in robes that hides there face along with a helmet that only shows there red eyes. They have a wand and small shield. There able to summon giant plasma sword with there wands along with Magic Bow and summon vines through the ground to tangle up attackers. A few humans are with the Mages].
Alpha Two- Contact all men open fire!
Robert- Where the hell are they coming from!
Knights- For Castle Ben-Don!!
That when lobsters come out from under ground and tip over some of the HUMVEE's. As Vampire Mages appears out of there invisibility and summon poison thorn vines that tangle up HUMVEE's and soldiers.
Alpha Two- Dam it. Fall back and keep firing men.
As they fall back they manage to keep them at range as the screen changes to back to the white house meeting room where all the presidents are eating and talking with each other.
Lincoln- It's a pleasure to meet you Mister Washington.
Washington- The pleasure mine mister Lincoln. From what I've managed to read you've managed to keep the country from falling apart for that I thank you.
Lincoln- It wasn't me alone. I was elected in during great debate and turmoil. But I did what I could to keep the United States together.
Washington- Me and the founders will take most of the blame for the Civil War. We knew slavery would be a problem in the future and tryed to put up safe guards to prevent us from being like the Roman Republic. But It would seem that only caused more trouble with people wanting to remove them.
Lincoln- Indeed. But what in the past should stay there. We must focus on what's going on now and to secure America's future.
Washington- That I can agree with.
Screen changes to Armstrong and General Will in the back room talking to Alpha Two.
Will- How is that possible!?
Alpha Two- They are able to turn invisible and ambush us quit easy sir. Many men are getting sick of these attacks and want to end the battle now.
Armstrong- Have you made it to Castle yet.
Alpha Two- Yes. All units are ready to take the Castle. Along with our other soldiers taking over the underground tunnels sir.
Will- Send out a negotiator if they refuse take the castle by any means.
Alpha Two- Right away sir.
The screen turns off as Alpha Two walks towards group of soldiers.
Alpha Two- Mount up men and get ready to move out. If the negotiations fail where taking the castle.
Soldiers- Sir yes sir!
Screen changes to inside the castle where USA Negotiator talking to the king the lord and Wizard as they go over the paper work handed to them by the Negotiator.
Tom [USA Negotiator]- Is there any questions about the terms of surrender King Raya.
Lancer [Wisper]- Sir these terms must be a lie. There's no way a nation would allow us to keep hold of our lands.
Raya- I know. But we don't have the means to continue fighting. I agree with the terms of our nation becoming part of your so called Republic.
Tom- Thank you very very much King Raya. There be a small military base set up in your kingdom to aid with the agreements and bring you up to date on the laws.
After Tom left the room the king looks stressed as he sits in his thrown.
Wonda- You made the right choice sir. We did not have the men to fight such a force.
Lancer- Speak for yourself.
Raya- As long as our beliefs are secured I do not care. We must up hold our beliefs by any means. Even if that means joining this Republic. I'm just hoping the near by kingdoms don't take advantage of this agreement.
Wonda- With the Magic these human wield they wont dare attack us.
Raya- I hope your right. But we shall see. As for you Wonda I want you to train my son. We need to prepare for what ever these humans have planned for us.
Wonder- It will be an honor my king.
Wonder bows to the king as the screen changes back to Armstrong getting ready to rejoin the other presidents along with Will.
Armstrong- Well that's good news another war brought to an end.
Will- Yes. But I'm worried about how the other presidents will take the debt we owe to Japan.
Armstrong- Ah. That well let's hope for the best but expect the worst.
Will- Uh. I can agree with that sir.
As they enter the room the screen fades to black.
