December 25th, 2360 Auralon
President Shrubbe sat confidently in his chair as he and his brother finished working on their plans to destroy they common enemy... The IronPride. Although related, Gerald Shrubbe had never seen or met his brother until he was forty. His brother looked nothing like him, heck he barely even looked human. He stood stood neerly 7 feet and had a slightly muscular build, his hair was snow white, his skin almost as pale and had hauntingly white pupils that seemed to glow. "Today we shall begin a campaign together to smite our foes!" toasted Archanar, his other hand clenched in a fist, emiting energy and his voice echoeing far more than it should have in that room. The 2 brothers laughed as they watched the snow begining to fall on the remains of the Pentagon. The facility had once been the main military and covert ops hub for the former U.S.A. and now kept its purpose under the U.E.G.. The internal affaris branch had been "convieniently" destroyed by a "mal-functioning" frigate and now Shrubbe and Archanar were free to do what they wanted...
-- Planet Auralon, 0900 hours--
It was mid-day on the planet Auralon, though it was hard to tell. Even in its summer season the massive shimmering oceans of Auralon kept the planet relatively cool and confortable, though Krasian Longblade didnt find it quite so. There recently had been reports of numerous fleet movements, inside U.N.S.C. space, but that wasnt all that was bugging him, he was also missing the Christmas party. He and his platoon and been dropped in when a moderate-sized fleet of Regiment battlebarges folded into orbit around the planet. Him and Korban were to protect the major cities of the Planet. He had to gaurd the quickly growing city of New New York while Korban guarded the capitol of Shoreburg. He had been notified that a small number of Regiment ships had sneaked past the IronPride fleet and had landed on the planet and he could even just barely see their seige tanks in the distance. He had set up his command squad and a few other small ones around the main city gate while the rest were guarding the HellBringer.
The massive Suit carriers rumbled across the open fields of Auralon. They had brought 3 squads of T.A.U. IVs and 2 DarkTemplars one piloted by John Colobe. "Why is it every major battle im in, there seems to always be Krasian, Korban, and Corvin." he mused to himself as he went over scans of the area's rather flat geography in his Suit. He lurched forward in his suit as the HellBringer tank opened up on them. "Driver mow down that infidel!" ordered Colobe.
The first tank came rubling through their quickly made barricades. One battlesuit was unlucky enough to be crushed by the vehicle and exploded, destroying the tanks wheels. The Hellbringer fell bank, but continued to fire its DNC (Direct Naquida Cannon) into the enemy vehicle. Once the second tank had breached the wall the entire IronPride defenders unloaded their weaponry into the massive vehicle.
Suddenly a wall and a squad of 2 Elite Pharoahs and 2 Pharoahs exploded from a Demolisher missile. Corvin quickly retaliated by unleashing his 2 nova cannons into the suit, destroying it and the rest of its cloaked squad. Suddenly a U.N.S.C. dropship touched down neer the eastern part of the city. "Oh crap, how are we supposed to hold this" muttered Krasian as a squad of 8 Lightbringers, a squad of 4 Monster IIs, and a squad of elite suits came out of the ship.
The HellBringer changed targets and fired at the bridge of the ship. He must of hit a critical system because the hole ship erupted. The ship crashing into a skycraper where Krasian's command squad hid as the Lightbringers opened up with chainguns and the Monsters unleashed their laser cannons.The Hellbringer was heavily beaten and flew into a skyscraper where it exploded, causing the building to land neer Corvin. "Damn cowards, hiding and letting their allies to the work." muttered Corvin.
"Need some help?" asked Korban as he and the remains of his squad, fleeing the naq-nuked New New York, arrived on the scene. He charged in taking down a bunch of Lightbringers and a monster with a NOVA cannon while Krasian and his squad took out the Monsters. Suddenly the sky darkened with incoming U.N.S.C. dropships. "All IronPride forces fall back, we can hold off that many Suits" Commanded Korban grimly.

Archanar grinned proudly as information on the Battle of Auralon as well as numerous other IronPride worlds flooded onto his datapad. He looked up to see the massive drilling device begin its holy work. "Fools...The Day Of Reckoning shall come, and nothing can stop it" said the High Profit to himeslf.
