| "The Penguins," began Nelquishma, "are all from Mars. They have been placed there for at least twenty million years. They started out as nomadic tribes, wandering through the once lush rainforests of Mars, which covered the entire planet except for the northern and southern icecaps. After depleating much of the planet's resources, the Penguins retreated to the barren icecaps in an effort to save the lush vegetation which they had known for so long. With them they took seedlings of all the plants they could gather and have since created a great underground forest beneath the surface of Mars." "After saving themselves from a death of starvation, they came to face another problem: themselves. Mars was still a dieing planet. Its forests were nearly gone, and what was left was deteriorating fast. The Penguins looked to each other for support, but after numerous years of failed negotiations, the Northern Penguins became anxious and took up arms against the Southern Penguins who wanted nothing more than to live in peace." "Numerous world wars broke out between the Northern Militant Penguins and the Southern Democratic Penguins. The result was the near extinction of the North Penguins. The wars also decimated the planet, leaving all the forests trampled or incinerated by advancing armies." "Of the many wars, the single one that was started by the Southern Penguins was called The Last Breath War. It was one of the final world wars of their history. The Southern Penguins started this war to retrieve a device that would enable the Southern Penguins to grow their forests at an exponential rate. The Southern Penguins eventually acheived victory, but victory had a high price. Millions of Penguins lost their lives in that war. No other war in the entirety of their history has been so violent." "From then on smaller civil wars broke out among the occupants of each pole. Most of which occurred with the Northern Penguins because they were warmongers and there were no other wars to fight. These wars were, for the most part, minor. They have no real historical importance other than the fact that they had caused multiple changes in government." "Many years after the great wars had faded into memory, a Penguin scientist discovered other planets among the stars. By this time the penguins had realised that their meaningless wars had decimated their home and their race was slowly dieing. They had to find another way to survive so they turned to the nearest planet for salvation: Earth." "Slightly before the Earth year 6600 B.C.E., the Penguins discovered space travel. Approximately 700 years later the Penguins arrived on Earth. They discovered that it was rich with life and vegetation, much like their beloved home once was. The first colonization was set up in Antarctica. This was to let immigrating Penguins adjust to the climate changes of the below freezing temperatures and violent storms of Mars to the warm and calm climate of Earth. After fully realizing how pathetic the fragile humans were they conceived a plan to take over planet Earth and hold it under the rule of the Northern Penguins." "Throughout Earth's history, the Penguins have made attempts at taking controlof Earth. Firstly, the Penguins tried to infiltrate human governments but, after millenias of trying, the Penguins eventually failed in their endevor. Some of the Penguins' most successful spies were known to us as Alexander the Great and Napolean Boneparte. The Penguins failed because of flawed exoskellatal prototypes and not being able to resist temperature extremes such as cold and heat." "Today, the Penguins are planning a new attack on humanity. They are going to try to take the world by force, and when their shroud falls the enitre world will be engulfed in a war the can not fight. The Penguins are amassing their armies. These armies are incredibly large and highly advanced. With the help of spies planted through out the world, the Penguins have been able to achieve a first wave of more than thirty million Penguins, ready to attack when the time comes." "Most of the army has been amassed in the Southern Hemisphere where least resistance is expected. Also, small tactical squads are placed around the world hiding in wildlife compounds and zoos as cover. When they feel it is time, the Penguins will attack full force, unleashing their devastation upon unsuspecting countries and once this objective is completed, the war for the Northern Hemisphere will begin." Deacon Troll stared at Nelquishma. "Then, where do I come in?" To Be Continued... |
