Ch. 4: Demiiron Captured.

"Sir! The re� SIR!� A soldier began informing Commander Espe, realizing that something was wrong with him. �SOMEBODY FIND A MEDIC! I THINK COMMANDER ESPE IS DEAD!�
Immediately, the entire army went into a frenzy. Everyone that wasn�t on the front lines began desperately searching for a doctor. Finally, a doctor was located. He was immediately brought to Espe�s body, and examined him for a few seconds. Then, he turned away.

�Well? WELL?!? Is he alright?!?� The next highest ranked soldier there, Commander Rothan, desperately asked.

�He�s� dead,� The medic replied, walking away. Rothan bowed his head, as did everyone else, and a moment of silence was held. Then�

�ALRIGHT! FROM HERE ON OUT, FOR THE REST OF THE BATTLE, I AM YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER! ONLY SOLDIERS THAT OUTRANK ME CAN OVERRULE ANY OF MY COMMANDS, SO YOU ARE TO OBEY EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM! NOW, WE�RE GOING TO AVENGE THIS DEATH! WE HAVE RECEIVED REINFORCEMENTS, ALL FOURTY-THOUSAND OF THEM! LET�S GO!� Commander Rothan informed the entire army. �FIRE AT WILL! JUST KNOCK �EM ALL OUT! GO! GO! GO!�

The immense army of over one hundred thousand soldiers and mechas turned and began firing upon the enemy lines with an immense vigor. Left and right, the Demiiron 4 troops fell. Soon, the waves of soldiers stopped coming.

�VICTORY! Our first battle on this planet WON! On to the capital � Passiiron!� Commander Rothan rejoiced. The whole army began the twenty-mile race through the jungle toward Passiiron, Demiiron 4�s capital city. Hours passed with nothing but sickness and fatigue as they traveled through the jungles. Night sets in over them. �ALRIGHT! Our ships have confirmed that we have NO armies traveling through the jungles to meet us. They are scouring the planet�s surface, knocking out all they can. They are going to continue searching through the night, taking shifts, as each ship has a screw of at least ten soldiers. They have also confirmed that we are within eight miles of the capital. We are going to set up camp here with our ships guarding us. There�s no rush to set up camp � you may do it as slowly as you wish, taking as many breaks as you want. HOWEVER, you know the benefits of a speedy camp set-up. Let�s go.�

Immediately, the troops began setting up camp, all 100,000 of them having camp set up within ten minutes. They were all asleep within fifteen.

the next day�

�ATTENTION! TIME�S UP! TIME TO PACK UP AND GET GOING! WE WANT TO OVERTAKE PESSIIRON BY THE END OF THE DAY! LET�S GO!� Commander Rothan commanded. The troops began packing camp � and it took them over half an hour to do so. They began the long journey to the city after the five-minute-long breakfast break. After two hours of grueling traveling, they were battling nausea, sickness, and fatigue once again. �COME ON! WE�RE WITHIN FOUR MILES OF THE CITY! DON�T GIVE UP NOW! WE CAN MAKE IT! LET�S GO!�

The soldiers� paces and spirits slightly picked it up, but fell once again after a half hour. Finally, after having walked for over four hours, they reached the city limits.

�ALRIGHT! We�re going to take a half-hour rest break before completing the invasion! Once the break is completed, we will break apart into six battalions and surround the city, then head toward their capitol building,� Commander Rothan explained to the army, sitting on a large tree root. An enormous sigh of relief resounded from the jungle as the soldiers sat and relaxed, speaking at a whisper so they wouldn�t draw any attention from the twenty million resident metropolis. Finally, the half-hour ended, the army broke up into six battalions, and they began surrounding the city. After another hour passed, each battalion was in place � and they entered the city limits. They only encountered minor opposition by the time they made it four-fifths of the way through the city. But, when two of the battalions entered the last fifth of the trip to the capitol, they suddenly faced immense gunfire everywhere. The peasants and merchants that they had passed earlier turned out to be disguised military personnel. They all pulled out guns and began firing away at the ITAC battalions.

�WE ARE UNDER FIRE! HELP! BATTALIONS 3 AND 5 ARE UNDER FIRE! BACKUP NEEDED!� The head officer, from battalion 3, screamed into his comm. badge.

�I gotcha, battalion 3. We�ll be there in thirty seconds,� the head officer from battalion 2 replied. �ALRIGHT! LET�S GO! BATTALION 3 NEEDS HELP! LET�S GO!�

They, along with battalions 4 and 6, immediately altered their course and bolted over to where battalions 3 and 5 were to turn back the opposition. 1 was too far away, so they just continued on to the capitol building. Soon, the backup battalions arrived, and began firing on the assailants. After ten hot minutes and over four hundred deaths, they were turned back, and the ITAC battalions continued on to the capitol building. Ten more minutes later�

�ITAC battalions? This is Commander Rothan, from battalion 1. We have reached the capitol and are currently fighting our way into the building. No opposition except a little from a few unhappy or drunken peasants, which was immediately neutralized. There�s no hurry, guys. Just go ahead and take your time,� Commander Rothan reported back to the rest of the army. A gigantic sigh broke out from the five other battalions as they slowed pace. However, the capitol soon became visible, and many of the soldiers broke out and sprinted for it, as they had not been informed of whether or not Commander Rothan and battalion 1 had made it into the building. Soon, however, since the other soldiers were sprinting for the building, many others joined, and soon, the whole army was sprinting for the capitol building. Finally, they received a message from within the building.

�ALRIGHT! We surrender! We want no more death! We will not fight anymore!� The ruler of Demiiron 4, Cessiiron Bexron, surrendered to the ITAC. The entire ITAC army suddenly rejoiced. They could finally rest� or could they?

�Admiral Zheer? This is Commander Rothan. We have overtaken Demiiron 4 and are awaiting your next command. We have full access to the planet�s transportation systems now, so we are able to be off the planet and out of the atmosphere within ten minutes.�

�Rothan? What happened to Espe?� Admiral Zheer queried.

�He� died, sir. I was second in charge, so I took-�

�Alright. I need your army, save five hundred, to immediately board transport vessels and get over here. We have lost thousands of soldiers already, and need reinforcements before invading the planet. The five hundred that don�t come will be left in that capitol building, and around it, to keep peace and order. Zheer, over and out.� Admiral Zheer ordered. Rothan immediately turned and began barking commands at the army.

�ALRIGHT! LET�S GO! FIVE HUNDRED OF YOU STAY HERE AND KEEP ORDER! THE REST ARE NEEDED AT THE DEMIIRON 9 BATTLE! OKAY, IT�S GOING TO BE SOLDIERS D-1800 TO E-100 THAT STAY HERE! EVERYONE ELSE, TO THE TRANSPORTS!�

The army immediately began to rush from place to place to finish this war at Demiiron. The transports took off in just five minutes, and were away from the planet�s atmosphere in ten, on a route to Demiiron 9. Suddenly, Commander Rothan got a brilliant idea. Since they had extra transport space for over two hundred thousand soldiers, he had them filled with soldiers from other Demiiron planets, then hauled them over to Demiiron 9. When they arrived, there was then a total of over a million ITAC soldiers, and twenty thousand mechas, waiting to invade Demiiron 9�

�Alright! Considering the fact that their capital city here, Reate E.Y., has extremely wide open areas, we will use touchdown formation D-phi-9 and immediately unload, then convene at their capitol building. Considering the fact that we have over a million soldiers here, it should take no longer than a half hour to overtake the planet. Let�s go!� Admiral Zheer commanded the fleet. The transports, along with six warships, immediately began the trip down to the planet�s surface.

The starships finished the trip down to the surface, encountering only four other ships, one of which was a cargo ship with no weapons. They unloaded immediately, and were confronted by a small army of about one hundred thousand soldiers. They knocked out this resistance in only about forty seconds; the few soldiers that remained were taken into custody.

They marched up to the capitol building, and didn�t even have to try to break in � the planet�s senate saw the gigantic army approaching, and immediately surrendered. Finally, the entire Demiiron system was united, after over 200 years, under the ITAC empire.

The soldiers left on each planet quickly set up Mew2omega�s holo-emitters so he could make his speech to the planets. After six minutes, a gigantic image of Mew2omega appeared over the capitol buildings of each Demiiron planet.

�CITIZENS OF THE DEMIIRON SYSTEM! I am Mew2omega, your new ruler. As you should already know, your planet has surrendered to the ITAC, the Inter-terrain Attack Corps. Therefore, you now have a new government. You probably expect this new government, new lifestyle, to be harder, but you�re wrong. In fact, it will be much easier for you all. Taxes will be cut down to half what you pay now. There will be many more job opportunities as well � you are part of a MUCH larger empire, so there will be more places to work. Also, with all of these different civilizations combined like so, there are many new technologies to work with. Life will ultimately become far easier for the regular citizen. Now, about your new government. I will not be attempting to overtake any new territories for quite some time, so we will begin holding elections for new sub-rulers over the lands. I already have my second-in-command selected, Kojiiriin. He will rule over the entire empire, only me in a place of command over him. We will have elections for presidents to govern over each of the systems I rule over � Hydran, Grarr, Aviir, and Demiiron. Then, there will be governors for each individual planet � all 24 of them. Next, each planet, except Hydran 3, will be split into relatively equal states to be governed by sub-governors. By my calculations, each planet will have an average of twenty-seven states. Finally, each individual city will have their appropriate mayors. Elections will be held six months from today. During these six months, you all are to nominate candidates. The election process will be similar to the process used in the ancient United States of America, back on Earth. However, we will count the popular votes � the only difference between our election process and the USA�s. This is Mew2omega, goodbye.�
