Cry Havoc, and Let Loose the Dogs of War [WW4 Start Event]

In the stratosphere of Europe there was a crimson light which could be akin to an angel seen shimmering in the landscape of all nations on this side of the earth. In a matter of moments, the nations under the control of Shadow Fall on the European side would have the environment shift when the first attack on their coast had been initiated. They had more than enough time on their end to go into their war-time defenses as they could detect the projectiles heading toward their way and counter attack by amplifying the amount of power in the Demi Network to produce multi-layered domes across their cities to otherwise shield them from being assaulted so easily.

To believe that Mana wasn't leery of the Vastime fleet is one that a fool would believe. It's not that she discounted them, but it's that she made them quite aware that she was watching them by the fact that she herself had visited them once before. The Demon Queen did not assume they would be the first to attack them, but she was prepared and knew the Demi Network would have to protect against some kind of threat. There wasn't much that she could do for the American side of things given the attack was planned for weeks in advance under her nose, but Europe was her motherland and the center of Shadow Fall's power and they weren't about to give this land up without a fight.

Ergo, if any side had desired to engage in more in-depth command with Europe nations, further firepower would be required as all Shadow Fall troops were now positioned in a place of being in wartime scenarios. Their borders were being closed down, teleportation was shut down and they were assembling their aerial, naval and spacial fleets across Europe to prepare for enemy forces to begin attacking them at any second.

In the meantime, in the waters that Shadow Fall controlled, The Vastime Naval flight may find themselves scorched with fire. The reason for this is because of the fact that the regions which Shadow Fall controlled could alter, shift and manipulate the environment to their whim. And while they could not do the same for the waters they held in Australia, any ship that found themselves coming close to the waters of Europe from this point onward would be devoured by flame and the world would notice nothing but blood fire erupting from the sea.

To make things simpler to understand: Shadow Fall had contorted all of the coastal areas around their cities into fire to prevent easy access on top of their demi network barriers were now being pumped with absolute energy to force their enemies to work together to break through if they were intended to invade these nations. In the meantime, if nothing was done, the Vastime soldiers attacking would find themselves consumed by the sea of fire as the water itself had dissipated and all oceanic life was destroyed along the routes which Shadow Fall possessed.

"You are going to have to try harder than that to breach our defenses......."

That single voice of both Algos and Mana echoed to the Vastime empire to signify that they were aware of their assaults and could match the firepower blow for blow. It was going to take the collective might of all their military power to stand a chance against them.

Shadowfall, always quick to react. Like a hornet's nest disturbed choosing to attack, the best defense was a good offense in their case. But there was one thing which Vastime had become good at, one key detail which was the lichpin to their formation and the existence of their nation as a whole. In some ways today would be showcasing that ability to the utmost potential, as on the decks of their ship there was an extreme energy seemingly radiating from each vassal. As the demi-network deployed over the the sky beginning to stop some of the artillery, they would find the empowered shells able to pierce some of the network to the surprise of some within shadowfall.

The enhanced metal and energy source which empowered this metals, an alloy they had created many years ago called Vastilium had the properties of being able to absorb and repel many energy types. It was a hallmark of Vastime due to the fact they where a nation of powers, humanity with their potential unlocked. With that being said the collection of shells which did manage to rage against the network was minimum- due to the fact the strife across the world would certain strain SF's own resources. So in select areas they would find the shells exploding causing massive damage to some of the naval bases within Europe's vicinity, rendering fleets to ash and flame.

As for the Vastimian Fleet, dubbed the Northern Fleet, they had their own problems to deal with. The sea of fire which seemed to flicker for a moment, the indication of a large shift of energy. Aboard the vassal sirens would ring out, as squads of men and women wearing VBU Variant 2 Dragon- the standardize armor of Vastime. The alloys which adorned the armor seemed to help with them beginning to synchronize their powers along with the collective psonic and willpower empowerment of the Vastimian Network. In a wave of scronized movements the ships would begin to quake as a ripple of energy shot from each ship connection- before exploding outward.

This effect would be relatively simple, the disciplined movements of the military seemed almost inhuman with the percision they acted with. The Vastimian collective energy would be strong enough to snuff out the flames, but more important create a zone of protection and influence. Due to their condensed energy, the collective slayer gene in their military, and Vastilium ability to absorb latent energy they where able to repel the Demi's-Network influence in the section of sea they inhabited. Normally this would be unthinkable, but aboard the ships there was also a collective of artificial intelligence working in tandem to destribute the energy among each soldier and their purpose.

In summary, Vastime excelled at exerting their powers to counteract or displace others own abilities. Due to their extreme military discpline, collective power, and the vastimian network they where able to effectively push out the demi-network to the European coastline. The large naval force seemed to shift before each soldier would perform a giant wave of their arms, tightening their arms to release the 'spell' to the AI and Vastimian network for control. In short, creating a self-sustaining zone of influence.

But they would need to actually start move to the coastline, if they hoped to invade into Europe they would not be able to keep attacking from afar. So with a few ordered words the Navy would begin to push forward. The former sea of fire now simply a calm sea, and the atmosphere around them now controlled by Vastime. With only a few movements Vastimian aircraft where beginning to take flight, their intentions to secure a beach head to land their armies.

On the ships, there was a gathering of units all beginning to chant something. Their words in a strange dialect and tone, but the budding of power was easily able to be understood as the voice of Hayden was heard.

"Think not of yourselves, think not of the coming battle, think only of the glory to be won today. We shall not lose, and we shall not accept anything less than vengeance."
