The Great Snowzerland War VI, nicknamed The War to End All Great Snowzerland Wars, is the last and most chaotic Great Snowzerland War that took place in 2013. In it, Kaiser Swiss Ninja of Snowzerland tries again to conquer the Antarctic, this time with a lot more help. The war was massive and occured all around the Antarctic. The war was a shocker for Castilla, but it benefitted Frankterre as the war strengthened its forces and regained recognition for their bravery against the Snoss.

Prologue

It was a cloudy day in West Pengolia. At the Ulaansnowtar airport, Servant #3355 was sitting at his desk in the air tower looking at the radar. He was sleepy as usual as he lifelessly stared at the green line circling around the black screen constantly. Suddenly, a large dot appeared on the radar, and it woke him up out of his trance. He stood up and looked closer at the dot.

Servant #3355:"Hey, Servant number 4455! Come over here!"

Servant #4455:"WHAT? I was taking a nap you numbskull!"

Servant #4455 slapped Servant #3355 with a fish several times.

Servant #3355:"STOP!!! I see something strange on the radar!"

Servant #4455:"It's a plane! Don't you know that?"

Servant #3355:"Yes, but it's a BIG PLANE!!!"

Servant #4455:"By the looks of it, the plane is a Snowing 747. It's probably going to land here, so don't just sit there- GET ON THE RADIO!"

Servant #3355 got on the radio, tuned it, and spoke to the aircracft's pilot:"Unidentified aircraft, you are entering the Ulaansnowtaar Airspace. Please identify yourself and state your business."

Pilot:"Entschuldigung.. Er, I mean, I apologise. This is Snowing 747 Sierra-November-Romeo-Oscar-X ray going southbound requesting a flyby."

Servant #3355:"State your points of arrival and destination."

Pilot:"We are coming from Zurich, Snowzerland. We have circled around the Trans-Antarctic Coast and we are going to land in Eastshield near the border with Pengolia."

Servant #3355:"Fine. Request granted."

Servant #3355 turned off the radio.

Servant #4455:"Great Khan! That plane is Snoss! We need to contact Penghis Khan immediately and see if we need to shoot it down!"

Servant #3355:"Will do!"

Servant #3355 ran to a red telephone on the side of the wall and picked it up. The line went straight to Penghis Khan, who was in the middle of eating a giant fish when the phone rang.

Penghis Khan:"WHAT? PENGHIS KHAN IS EATING BIG MULLET!"

Servant:"Sir, I have bad news! A large Snoss Snowing 747 is flying over our country! Should we shoot them down?"

Penghis Khan:"No. Penghis Khan already knows. That is Swiss Ninja's personal jet. He gave Penghis Khan a personal letter to explain."

Servant:"But why is he flying over our country, sir?"

Penghis Khan:"Penghis Khan does not care. Now get back to work or I will come and slap you with a fish!!!"

In the airplane, Swiss Ninja waddled out of his luxurious leather seat and went to the cockpit.

Swiss Ninja:"Hey, Pilot! What is the meaning of that conversation with that West Pengolian traffic controller?"

Pilot:"How did you find out about that?"

Swiss Ninja:"I have an extra speaker at my seat so I can listen to all conversations and transmissions on this plane."

Pilot:"Oh...that's new. He just wanted to know where we were going."

Swiss Ninja:"Penghis Khan did not inform that peasant that I was coming. Disregard his suspicion. Anyways, how much longer to the Darktonian Realm?"

Pilot:"Thirty minutes."

Swiss Ninja:"I want to be there in fifteen. We're running late."

Pilot:"But..."

Swiss Ninja:"MAKE IT WORK...OR ELSE!!!"

The pilot became frightened as he realized that his life was on the line.

"Yes, my Kaiser."

Swiss:"Good."

Swiss Ninja left the cockpit and went back to his chair.

As the sky grew darker and more eerie, the Darktonian Realm could finally be in sight. The Snowing 747 landed on a crude snow runway, and they parked among a few other aircraft off to the side. Swiss Ninja got out of the aircraft and led his bounty hunters, Austin8310, Java Ghent, and Django Ghent to Darktan's mansion.

Austin8310:"Swiss, I really doubt you can persuade everyone here. This conference you called for is a waste of time."

Swiss Ninja:"Silence, Austin. You've been bickering the whole trip. It's not my fault you couldn't sleep on the plane. Besides, I'm a professional at persuation..."

Swiss Ninja waved at the guard at the mansion's gates, who immediately let him in. Swiss Ninja entered the mansion and was escorted by one of Darktan's minions to a large room in the basement. Unlike the rest of Darktan's mansion, the room did not seem psychedelic. Instead, it appeared to be a dank stone cellar lit with lanterns and was filled with a large table and many chairs. It was the conference room that Darktan II usually used for guests.

Everyone Swiss Ninja had invited was there. Kim Il Sunguin, Captain Str00del, the president of Zhou, and the Imperial Emperor were all sitting at their chairs. WishFlyX was sitting at the edge of the tabe on Darktan II's alternate throne, and Lizlord was representing Nightmare. Other seats were reserved for some of Darktan's and Nightmare's higher ranking minions.

WishFlyX:"Greetings, Swiss Ninja. Welcome to the Darktonian Estate. Darktan II is currently busy and cannot attend the meeting. He regrets doing so but he has some errands to do,, so I was chosen to be his representative. Please, take the seat of honor at the edge of the table over there, across from me."

Swiss Ninja:"Thank you, WishFlyX. Thank you all for being here."

WishflyX:"So, Kaiser Swiss Ninja. Please tell us here why you've called us all here today."

Swiss Ninja stood up eloquently and in a pompous manner.

Swiss Ninja:"I shall! After years of observation, we have a common goal. Can anyone tell us what that is?"

Lizlord:"Conquer Antarctica."

Kim Il Sunguin:"Let me guess, you want us to team up with you to destroy the USA and its allies?"

Swiss Ninja:"DAG NAB IT, DON'T INTERRU- Uh... I mean, yes. That's exactly it."

WishFlyX:"Well sure then. It's about time that we go with that plan. Let's just make sure we don't fail like last time. All in favor of an alliance, say 'I'! No abstaining!"

Kim Il Sunguin:"I!"

Lizlord:"I!"

Captain Str00del:"1!"

President of Zhou:"I!"

Imperial Emperor:"I!"

WishFlyX:"Good, then it's unanimous!"

Swiss Ninja:"Excellent, team! I will be the leader."

WishFlyX:"Woooah there. You just can't do that. DARKTAN WILL BE THE LEADER. He is more feared than anybody else."

Lizlord:"No, surely NIGHTMARE is the baddest creatures in the Antarctic..."

Swiss Ninja:"Be quiet! Both of you! WishFlyX, you are nothing but an ugly butterfly, so bug off! Lizlord, Nightmare is a woman, therefore I am superior to her! I am the best option to be leader because I am perfect, because I have no flaws!"

WishFlyX:"We'll see about that!"

WishFlyX and Nightmare suddenly became wild and charged towards Swiss Ninja, planning to kill him on the spot. However, at the last minute, Swiss Ninja unleashed a torrent of lightning from his bare flippers. WishFlyX and Lizlord were thrown to the other side of the room and were still being blasted by Swiss Ninja's lightning. Everyone else took cover under the table.

Suddenly, one of Darktan's minions charged at Swiss Ninja with his sword. Swiss Ninja quickly took out his red lightsaber and sliced off the sword blade. He blasted the minion with the force.

WishFlyX:"YOU'RE A SITH!"

Swiss Ninja:"MUAHAHAHA. You finally found that out?"

Swiss Ninja then began to force choke WishFlyX. WishFlyX dropped his knicicle.

WishFlyX:"AKH! AAAK! OK OK OK YOU'RE OUR LEADER NOW LEMME GOooo..."

Swiss Ninja dropped him. WishFlyX gasped for breath and appeared defeated and humiliated. Lizlord already gave up with the lightning strikes, since he felt that it was not worth it to fight. Now, everyone was kneeling down to Swiss Ninja.

Swiss Ninja:"Good! GOOOD! HAHAHA! Now, my friends, we will be known as the Alliance of the Black Octopus. We are to be ruthless to our foes. We will not forgive. We will not give up. WE WILL SUCCEED!!!"

Imperial Emperor:"Where do we begin?"

Swiss Ninja:"We start with an invasion in each region. I'll assign everything later. But to make ourselves a guarantee to success, we will need one more ally..."

WishFlyX:"Who?"

Swiss Ninja:"Liguria."

Papa Flywish, leader of Liguria, was standing in front of the main entrance to his palace in the capital city of Dellaroma. A large limousine arrived through the front gates and into the driveway circle. It parked, and a penguin wearing a crisp black butler suit came out.

Butler:"Ciao, Papa Flywish! We have your gourmet pizza ready!"

Flywish:"About time! You're an hour late."

Butler:"Yes, we apologize. We had....traffic.... But the pizza is nice and warm. Here, I'll bring it out."

The butler took out a large pizza box and brought it to Flywish.

Flywish:"Well, it would be nice if you could open it for me so I can smell its deliciousness."

Suddenly, Swiss Ninja, Austin8310, and Darktan II popped out of the pizza. Swiss Ninja and Austin open fired on everyone with their snowball guns. Flywish jumped out of the way as ditto charged snowballs flew everywhere.

Flywish:"AAAAAH!"

Swiss Ninja:"TROOPS! OPEN FIRE!"

Suddenly, tons of Snoss soldiers and Stormtroopers ran out of the limousine as if it was a clown car. They circled around Flywish and the remaining Ligurian soldiers still standing.

Flywish:"Swiss, you fiend! What did I do to you?"

Swiss Ninja:"Nothing. I just want your country. Men, send him inside. He's going into house arrest."

Flywish:"You'll pay for this!"

Flywish was taken away into the palace before he could scream any more.

Darktan:"Wow....effective!"

Swiss Ninja:"Meanwhile we'll establish a puppet governor and directly take control of the government."

Darktan:"Excellent! Now we have everything we need?"

Swiss Ninja:"Yes. Now all we need to do is attack."

Chapter 1:Guns are Firing

As the sun rose to welcome another day, its light danced onto the small coastal towns of Regiao Lisboaguesa on the Antarctic mainland. The townspeople were almost all sleeping, with little traffic anywhere.

But then, out of the darkness of the ocean, huge submarines submerged from the water and immediately fired torpedoes at ships docked in the harbors. Immediately, citizens were alarmed and in panic. By then, several large battle ships were in sight from the coast, and tons of amphibious tanks were making their way to shore. As soon as the tanks made their way to shore, they opened up to release tons of RDA Clone Troopers that were charging inland. Meanwhile, several Lisboaguese soldiers were already getting on the scene, and the two sides began to exchange fire with each other.

However, the Lisboaguese army was quickly outnumbered as more and more RDA Clone Troopers, and now Snoss soldiers and Stormtroopers were landing on the beaches. The sheer amount of soldiers and arms was too much for the Lisboaguese, and they had no choice but to retreat inland. The battles were raging on.

An hour later, the President of Lisboagal called for a press meeting. He quickly walked up to the podium and took the microphone without haste.

President:"CITIZENS OF LISBOAGAL: Exactly an hour ago, the coast of the Regiao Lisboaguesa was attacked and occupied by Snoss forces. They arrived by surprise and in large numbers, and our forces are currently being pushed back inland mercilessly. As of right now, the whole coast has been taken and is under Snoss control. It is also reported that several Ligurian soldiers have helped in the raids near the Frostize enclave as well. As the president of Lisboagal, I declare war on the Imperial Empire of Snowzerland for their acts of aggression and their threat to our nation's sovereignty."

The questions rolled in immediately as the media became ballistic.

Reporter 1:"MR. PRESIDENT, MR. PRESIDENT! Who is allying with you at the moment?"

President:"Currently, I have only contacted Frankterre, and they are the only country so far that is willing to aid us."

Reporter 2:"Mr. President, how has Castilla responded to this crisis? Has the Hochstadt Gang released any statement or planes?"

President:"I don't know any of these things at this time."

"PILE UP THOSE SANDBAGS BOYS! TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!"

Jock Hochstadt was screaming orders at Freezelandian soldiers at the border near the Regiao Lisboaguesa. Jock was supposed to be on a diplomatic mission to Freezeland for Castilla, but instead he volunteered to help defend the country from an impending Snoss attack. Even from a distant, he and his pet red puffle Piper could see the explosions of grenades and cannons from the Lisboaguese and Snoss clearly in the distance. Eventually, the fight was nearing the Freezelandian border.

Jock:"Soldiers! Get into position! The enemy is approaching!"

Freezelandian soldiers were jumping behind piles of sandbags and trenches as the sounds of firing machine guns became louder. Suddenly, tons of Lisboaguese soldiers were running away across the Freezelandian border, surrendering.

Jock:"Hold your fire, hold you fire!"

Piper:"Let them defect! Be ready to fire!"

Suddenly, the Snoss soldiers ran up to the scene, but they immediately stopped at the Freezelandian border and just stared at the hundreds of guns pointing at them all across.

Jock:"That's right! Stand back and don't cross that border if you want to live!"

The Snoss soldiers timidly obeyed them and stepped back, though their presence did not fade. Several Snoss soldiers were stationed to watch them in the distance.

Piper:"They're not ready to invade."

Jock:"They're cowards. They don't want to take on a bigger load than they can handle. Always go to the weak first, then the strong....such a Snoss strategy."

Piper:"I think we're looking at a seventh Great Snowzerland War."

Jock:"You think? Now, let's get back behind the sandbags so that we aren't thrown into the middle of combat..."

Jock and Piper hopped over a bunch of sandbags and into a small trench. Jock took out his AK-47 Snowball Rifle and began loading it. Piper did the same with his rifle.

Piper:"Does King Carlos know about this yet?"

Jock:"I don't know. This happened so recently and so quickly."

Piper:"I know. I couldn't believe they just alerted us while we were still sleeping in our hotel room to help aid the army in battle."

Jock:"Most diplomats don't go into this kind of mess, but since I have military credentials they always choose me to get involved."

Piper:"How long will it take before Castilla joins this war?"

Jock:"That I don't know. The bad economy and rising unemployment rates have depressed the King, so I don't think he's in the mood to start another costly war. Especially now..."

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire could be heard again, and a large explosion occurred. The Snoss had shelled one of the sandbag defenses.

Jock:"SOLDIERS, OPEN FIRE! THE ENEMY IS UPON US!"

The Freezelandian infantry immediately exchanged fire behind their defenses and boldly struck down and deleted several of the Snoss soldiers running towards them.

Piper:"ARTILLERY! MOVE FASTER AND GET GOING! TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!"

Soldiers began to assemble and prepare the cannons, and within moments they were firing shells back at the Snoss.

Jock and Piper exchanged fire against the Snoss and threw a few grenades. The whole area became a loud and dirty scene; snow, dirt, tattered clothing, wood splinters, sand, and smoke were being blasted into the air by shells, and the sounds of soldiers yelling were drowned out by the never ending sounds of explosions and gun shots. Piper had to hop on Jock's shoulder just to tell him something.

Piper:"I can't see the enemy anymore! Are we winning??"

Jock:"I cannot see anything either! Just keep firing into the haze and hope we hit something..."

"YOU TWO, OUT OF THE WAY!"

Jock and Piper looked back to see several Freezelandian soldiers arriving with seveeral more artillary cannons. Tanks were also arriving.

Freezelandian Soldier:"Jock Hochstadt?"

Jock:"Yes, that's me."

Freezelandian Soldier:"You and your puffle need to leave. The Castillans are demanding your safe return immediately."

Jock:"I refuse to abandon thos battle. We can't let the Snoss advance."

Freezelandian Soldier:"No, we can take it from here. We're cutting down on infantry right now anyways. Come, follow me..."

Jock:"Fine..."

Jock and Piper followed the soldier out of the battlefield and looked back to see a large rapid-fire cannon in place where they had been fighting. Even as they drove off back to Frostborough, Jock and Piper could hear the echoes of the shelling, the impressive pulses of explosions that almost sounded like an advanced form of a fireworks spectacular.

Jock and Piper made their way back to Castilla safely. Once they arrived in the capital city of Metido, they were happy to learn that the Freezelandians had repelled the Snoss and they had gone into a temporary retreat. However, more news broke out that Darktan and Nightmare's minions had already started havok in rural Eastshield, the Snoss had completely siezed the Região Lisboaguesa, and the Zhouese had launched an offensive against Japaland.

Jock and Piper wasted no time and made their way to King Carlos's palace. The guards let them in, and the servants quickly tidied them up before they entered the throne room. King Carlos was not expecting them.

King Carlos:"Oh, Jock y Piper. Hola. Yo no sabía que ustedes venían. (Oh, Jock and Piper. Hello. I didnt know you were coming.)

Jock:"Perdóname, señor. Hemos venido a preguntarle algo..." (Pardon me, sir. We have come to ask you something.)

King Carlos:"Pues claro que sí, mis amigos confiados. Diganme sus deseos. ¿Dinero? ¿Un castillo? ¿Armas? ¿Amor? Ustedes viven tan simplemente...es raro para gente de la clase alta para vivir con el resto de la población en casas normales..." (Well of course, my trusted friends. Tell me your desires. Money? A castle? Weapons? Love? You guys live so simply...it's strange for high class people to live with the rest of the population in normal homes...)

Jock:"No pedimos cosas materiales. Pedimos una guerra contra Snowzerland. Han vuelto a sus maneras malos otra vez...y yo no he oido nada de usted y su opinión." (We do not ask for material things. We're asking for a war with Snowzerland. They have returned to their evil ways again...and I have not heard nothing from you and your opinion.)

King Carlos:"¡No! ¡Estoy harto de luchar guerras caras con Snowzerland! Nuestra economía esta fallando, y mis ciudadantes no pueden encontrar trabajos. ¡La Guerra Snoss-Castellana costó mucho dinero...casi estabamos en deudo! Quiero neutralidad." (No! I'm sick of fighting expensive wars with the Snoss. Out economy is failing, and my citizens can't find jobs. The Snoss-Castillan War costed a lot of money...we were almost in debt! I want neutrality.)

Piper:"Pero...¡nuestra reputación está en riesgo si no hacemos nada! " But your reputation is in risk if we don't do anything!)

King Carlos:"No me importa. No quiero gastar más dinero del gobierno. Quiero prevenir rebeliones en las calles." (I don't care. I want to prevent rebellions in the streets.)

Jock:"Mi rey, por favor, ¡escuchame!" (My king, please, listen to me!)

King Carlos:"¡No! ¡No más de esto! Si no quieren hablar sobre algo diferente, ustedes pueden salir." (No! No more of this! If you don't want to talk about something else, you can leave.)

Jock:"Vale...Adiós, mi rey. Si no podemos convencerle, iremos a luchar con los Francterranos." (Ok...Good bye, my king. If we can not convince you, we will fight for the Frankterrans.)

King Carlos:"Muy bien, haganlo. No me importa. Buena suerte a ustedes, y hasta luego." (Very well. I don't care. Good luck to you and see you later.)

Jock and Piper bowed and left the palace.

Jock and Piper returned to their hometown of Toledo to relax before they made their way to Frankterre. When they arrived, they went to Clovis's house to chat, but they were surprised to find out he was not home. They eventually asked the neighbors where he was, and they replied that he had left with Leonardo di Tremezzo a few days ago and had not returned since.

Piper:"Call him on his cell phone. He couldn't have gone too far. If he doesn't answer, then we know he's in trouble."

Jock:"I guess so."

Jock reached his phone's contacts and dialed Clovis's number. After a few moments, Clovis was on the other line.

Clovis:"Bonjour?"

Jock:"Hello Clovis. It's Jock."

Clovis:"Hey Jock. What's up?"

Jock:"Piper and I went to the King today to persuade him to join the war against Snowzerland, but he has outright refused. We're going to go to Frankterre and help them."

Clovis:"How coincidental. I'm in Frankterre right now with Leonardo; we're eating dinner right now splurging on bread and the finest Cream Soda one could ever have."

Jock:"Well, that is a coincidence. Maybe we can meet up somewhere?"

Clovis:"It wasn't. I was invited here by the Frankterran EPF Branch. They want me to help them intercept Snoss military transmissions."

Jock:"Oh. I see."

Clovis:"About meeting, that's exactly what we would like. Some other agents and I will meet you at the airport when you arrive and we'll take you to see Frankterre's top ranking generals so you can start planning battle strategies."

Jock:"Sounds good. I will leave the airport tomorrow at noon."

Clovis:"Sounds good. A plus tard!"

Jock:"A plus tard."

Jock and Piper woke up the next day, took the train to Metido, and flew to Charles de Gol International Airport in Parie, Frankterre in due time. Clovis Hochstadt, Leonardo di Tremezzo, and EPF Agent Jean Claude were waiting for them.

Clovis:"Bonjour mes amis!" (Hello, my friends!)

Jock:"Bonjour."

Piper:"Bonjour."

Clovis:"How was your flight?"

Jock:"Good. Can't complain."

Clovis:"Excellent. Follow me. We're going directly to the base."

Clovis led Jock and Piper to a large black van. Everyone jumped inside and drove off into the countryside. After half an hour, they arrived at the gates of a large military base that was crowded with barracks busy with new recruits. The van drove down the road that divided the camp to the Generals' Headquarters. Several Frankterran soldiers were there to greet the new arrivals and they opened the doors for them.

Clovis:"Jock, Piper, you are doing the fighting, so only you two are going. We don't need to speak to the generals."

Jock:"Ok. See you later then."

Jock and Piper jumped out of the black van and were led inside the large metal building. In a few moments, they found themselves in a large conference room filled with electronic equipment and radars. Two generals and the President of Frankterre, François Batavia, were there to greet them.

Batavia:"Bonjour. Enchanté." (Hello, nice to meet you.)

Jock:"Enchanté." (Nice to meet you.)

Piper:"Enchanté."

The president shook Jock's flipper.

Batavia:"Merci beaucoup pour votre temps. Êtes-vous prêts pour cette guerre? " (Thank you for your time. Are you ready for this war?)

Jock:"Oui." (Yes.)

Piper:"Toujours! " (Always!)

Batavia:"Bien. Vous allez être des Générals dans notre armée. Je crois que vous avez assez expérience pour l'emploi. Vous êtes les héros de la Guerre Snosse-Castillen, donc vous devriez être les héros de cette guerre aussi. Vive la Frankterre! " (Good. You are going to be some Generals in our army. I believe you have enough experience for the job. You are the heroes of the Snoss-Castillan War, so you must be the heroes of this war also. Long live Frankterre!"

The president saluted Jock and immediately left. Jock and Piper were left to be in the company of the other Generals.

There was no time to lose.

Chapter 2:Stiff Resistance

In the Weddell Sea, a large Snoss Freight Ship carrying loads of food aid and ammunition was being escorted by a convoy of Snoss Destroyers to the Snoss controlled city of Frostize. Java Ghent, one of Swiss Ninja's bounty Hunters, was commanding the cargo vessel to ensure it's safety.

The voyage had been smooth and without incident, until they were only fifty miles away from their destination.

KABOOM!!

The back end of the freighter ship had exploded into pieces. The ship catch on fire and sink. Java Ghent ran to the ship control room.

Java:"WHAT'S GOIN' ON OUT THERE?"

Captain:"Mr. Ghent, we've been hit by a torpedo!"

Java:"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!? We have a group of Naval destroyers with advanced radar technology and you're telling me that a torpedo made it through?"

Captain:"It has, and we're sinking!"

Java:"Darn it! ABANDON SHIP!"

Java ran outside and used his jetpack to fly over to the Naval destroyer behind the sinking ship. He could hear them firing their guns into the water. Java barged in to talk with the first mate, since the captain was not in the Command Room.

Java:"HEY! Why are you idiots firing into the water?"

First Mate:"Sir! We've detected a cordon of submarines approaching us unexpectantly."

Java:"Argh! Bullets wont do any good if the submarines are underwater. Use your torpedos and the larger shells!"

First Mate:"Ja, Herr Ghent!"

The First Mate ran to the intercom and started screaming in German. The sailors quickly ran to the larger cannons and under deck to fire the torpedoes.

Java:"I swear. Newbies shouldn't be on a ship designated to protect important cargo. I swear, if the Kaiser finds out about this, he will have you demoted! UNDERSTAND?"

First Mate:"YES SIR."

Java said nothing more and left the room.

Sailor:"INCOMING TORPEDO!"

Java:"STOP IT!"

The Snoss quickly launched a torpedo. A moment later, a huge explosion occured 400 meters in front of them. The enemy torpedo collided with the Snoss torpedo.

Java:"I know..."

Java turned on his jet pack, grabbed his blaster, and flew into the sky. Java was flying quickly high above the water, looking for the submarines. He knew they had to be close.

Suddenly, several of the submarines began to surface. The Frankterran flag and the submarines' serial numbers could be seen printed on the metal.

Java:"Frankerrans! Piece of cake!"

Java began firing his blaster at them. Then, Jock Hochstadt jumped out of one of them. Java, who was surprised, began firing at him. Quickly, Jock took out his blue lightsaber and began to deflect the blasts, causing them to scatter. Java neared Jock and increased the amount of blasts he was firing. Several Frankterran soldiers came out of the other Submarines to help Jock, but Java was able to quickly knock them into the water. Thankfully, nobody got hit.

As Java increased his firepower, Jock made more of an effort in attempt to deflect Java's blasts back at him, but Java was not stupid. Java was constantly moving.

Jock:"Piper! Get out here!"

Piper jumped out of the submarine with a giant machine gun and started firing at Java.

Java:"Forget this!"

Java took out a cluster of grenades and threw them at Jock's submarine. He flew away back to the ships.

Piper:"ABANDON SUBMARINE!"

Piper and Jock jumped into the water moments before the grenades exploded the submarine. Smoke, metal debris, and shouting soldiers could be heard all around. Jock, Piper, and several Frankterran soldiers in the water were picked up by nearby submarines and they continued forward towards the enemy ships. Jock went up to the captain of the submarine.

Jock:"Plus torpilles, maintenant! On ne doit pas eux donner l'avantage!" (More torpedoes, now! We should not give them the advantage!)

Captain:"Oui, monsieur!" (Yes, sir!)

The captain screamed orders at several of the other sailors. Jock went on the radio to relay his battle strategy to the other remaining submarines. In a matter of moments, the submarines were shooting torpedoes full blast at the Snoss destroyers. The ships were sinking, and several cowardly Snoss soldiers were jumping into the water in fear. Jock ordered his submarine to go towards the nearest sinking Snoss destroyer ship. The submarine emerged from the water and Jock hopped out of the submarine and onto the sinking Snoss ship.

Java was waiting for him, with a green lightsaber.

Jock:"You don't even know how to use that thing! But I take your hate for me and the rest of the Hochstadt Gang makes you powerful."

Java:"I learned a few trick up my sleeve from my dad and my RDA Clone Trooper relatives."

Java and Jock charged at each other and engaged in a lightsaber battle. Java kept jumping around Jock with the aid of his jetpack, which made it more difficult for Jock to defend himself. Java was fast and furious with rage, and Jock was having a difficulty blocking his strikes. It was even harder for him to find an opening to get at him. Java seemed to have acquired an air of youthfulness, for his quick attacks were packed with energy. Jock was unexpectedly moving back. The ship was sinking, and he was losing turf. Suddenly, Java jumped back, and with his jetpack, he charged at Jock at full speed.

Jock quickly jumped into the air over him and slashed at his jetpack. Suddenly, Java's jetpack began to malfunction, and he uncontrollably flew into the sky and out of sight.

Jock:"Darn! He got away!"

Piper hopped onto the sinking ship with Jock.

Piper:"Be thankful you weren't killed."

Jock:"I guess so. How are we progressing?"

Piper:"All enemy ships have been struck and are sinking. The Snoss sailors are retreating."

Jock:"All right, let's get back into the sub. It's time to get to land and start our liberation campaign. The other Frankterran submarines should be arriving soon."

Jock and Piper went back into their submarine and submerged back into the water. Some minutes later, there was a beeping noise from the radar.

Jock:"Capitaine! Qu'était ça?" (Captain! What was that?)

The captain looked at the radar, and his face became alarmed. He slowed down the submarine.

Captain:"Monsieur, il dit qu'il y a beaucoup de bateaux. Beaucoup de bateaux." (Sir, it says that there's a lot of botes. A lot of boats.)

Jock:"Quoi?" (What?)

The submarine had some to a halt and had emerged from the water. Jock and Piper climbed up the ladder to peek outside.

There was a huge group of Snoss Destroyers approaching them, and they all lined up along the horizon. Jock and Piper's eyes grew big.

Jock:"RETREAT!!!!"

Two penguins were sitting outside at a cafe in Pengu Town. The city life was bustling as usual with several cars and busses passing by them. One of the penguins was reading a newspaper.

Penguin 1:"Well, what do you know. The Frankterrans attempted to liberate Snoss controlled Regiao Lisboaguesa with a submarine attack. They were warded off by a large Snoss naval fleet. It says they were able to at least destroy a Snoss freighter ship."

Penguin 2:"Wow. At least they tried. Unlike Castilla. I can't believe they're not doing anything."

Penguin 1:"Well, General Jock Hochstadt was leading the attack, it says."

Penguin 2:"Ah. He probably sought service with Frankterre since the Castillans declared neutrality."

Penguin 1:"Yeah. Looks like Batavia won't be helping either. It says here that they've launched an invasion on the Seal Islands. They're apparently not allying with anyone."

Penguin 2:"No kidding?"

Penguin 1:"Geez, it looks like we're hopeless. The USA is going to be attacked by the Snoss and it looks like we're going to have to fend for ourselves, since Frankterre already seems busy."

Suddenly, a loud explosion could be heard. There were screams.

Penguin 1:"WHAT THE-"

Penguin 2:"Come on!"

The two penguins left their table and ran towards the city harbor, where the smoke was coming. When they arrived, they saw that an empty oil transport vessel had been torpedoed.

Penguin 1:"Oh no, look at the sea!"

Penguin 2 looked at the ocean to see several Snoss and Zhouese ships and black clouds of aircraft approaching the city.

War had reached the USA.

In his presidential office, Spike Hike was jamming on his guitar when his butler came into the room. Spike Hike turned off the amp and put his instrument down.

Butler:"An urgent message, Mr. President."

Spike Hike:"Yeah. It had to be on my free time too."

Butler:"It's dire."

The Butler gave Spike Hike the telegram. Spike Hike took it, read it for a few brief moments, and gasped.

Spike Hike:"We're under attack?"

Butler:"Yes sir. They've already taken Pengu town. We have already mobilized our forces near Hackzon Valley, where we will try to fend them off."

Spike Hike sighed and sat down at his chair.

Spike Hike:"Is it too late to press the red button and get this all over with?"

Butler:"That would not be good. You would receive immediate backfire. And they won't be Triple XXX missiles."

Spike Hike:"Darn. Then in that case, we must declare war. Take this to the Council. Another Great Snowzerland War has begun."

Back on the island of Maverick at a large brick manor on a banana plantation, King-in-exile Feey1 Pie was sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper. He was alone, for his wife, Kaylin Pie went for a walk in the garden with their son, Feey3 Pie. Gill sat down next to Feey quietly. He lowered the newspaper he was reading.

Feey1:"The darned Swiss Ninja has waged another war with the USA! That cretin. He turned on me, he turns on everyone else. He's as despicable second to none other than the stupid Hochstadt Gang and their Castillan supporters."

Gill:"Why don't you make this an opportunity to strike your revenge?"

Feey1 laughed for a moment.

Feey1:"Yes. I would like that. No. Scratch that. I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. AHAHAHAHAHA! I MUST! Revenge so I can defend my honor! I will muster my strength and KILL him! Hahahaha!"

Gill:"That would be nice."

Feey1:"With my Jedi skills, I will kill him on the spot! Haha. Yeeesss. I better get ready. I better fix up that Super Suit in the basement. Hahaha! SOON HE WILL REGRET RUINING MY LIFE."

Feey1 was about to dash into the basement when his wife came in and called out to him.

Kaylin:"Honey! Go change the baby's diaper!"

Feey1:"RATS!"

Jock and Piper were sitting in a small conference room with several other Frankterran naval officers on a Frankterran aircraft carrier. The admiral of the fleet had attended the meeting, and he paced back and forth nervously while taking an occasional sip of Cream Soda from a glass bottle.

Admiral:"Jock, avez-vous un plan?" (Jock, do you have a plan.)

Jock:"Oui. C'est le temps à reconquérir la ville de Shiverpool." (Yes. It is time to reconquer the city of Shiverpool.)

Admiral:"Et comment allons-nous faire ça, exactement?" (And how are we going to do this, exactly?)

Jock:"C'est facile. Ensemble avec nos alliés, les Lisboagais et les Frizelandiens, nous allons attaquer la ville sans avertissement." (It's easy. Together with our allies, the Lisboaguese and the Freezelandians, we are going to attack the city without warning.)

Admiral:"Très bien. Incluez les Ruscens. Ce sont nos nouveaux alliés, J'entendais." (Very well. Include the Ruscans. They are our new allies, I heard.)

Jock:"Bien. Ce sont dans la fête aussi, maintenant. Nous commençons ce coir à 22:00 heures." (Good. They are in the party too, now. We start tonight at 22:00 Hours.)

Several hours later, Piper sat at the main cannon of a Frankterran ship sailing towards the Antarctic Peninsula. The sun was setting, and the darkness was soon about to settle. He was patiently waiting for the orders to sound so that he could fire the colossal weapon. He had already figured out the trajectory, and every minute made him more patient. Piper was alone, since Jock was with the captain of the ship. Suddenly, a voice was heard.

"Commencez!"

Piper pressed the button, and the cannon fired loudly and proudly. The siege of Shiverpool had begun. As he continued to fire the large cannon, Snoss ships exploded violently in the far distance. Suddenly, Piper's radio began to beep.

Piper:"Hello?"

Jock:"Piper! We need you down starboard near the boat launching area now! We need you as a boarding party."

Piper:"Can do."

Piper dashed across the deck to the launch area to receive his weapons and orders. Another sailor took his place at the cannon.

Piper sat at the very front of a large metal barge since it was filled with fully armed Frankterran soldiers. As the barge made it's way to shore, Piper used his assault rifle to knock down nearby Snoss enemies on land and sea. When the barge crashed on the shore, Piper jumped out with the rest of the soldiers and began raining ice bullets and deletion blasts at incoming Snoss soldiers hiding in buildings.

Frankterran Soldier:"Les chars de combat vient!" (The tanks are coming!)

Piper:"OK!"

Suddenly, Piper's assault rifle had gone dry.

Piper:"I don't need this anymore anyways."

Piper put his rifle back in hyperspace and took out his bazooka.

Piper:"Come at me, Snoss tanks!"

Piper blasted his bazooka at a Snoss tank, and it exploded loudly.

Piper:"BOOYAH!!!"

CLANG!

Piper found himself trapped in a cage.

"Not so fast, Piper!"

Piper turned around to see Austin8310.

Austin8310:"Ain't you so happy to see me? I'm still around!"

Piper:"Let me go or I'll cream you alive!

Austin:"I don't think you can do anything. If you use your bazooka, you'll just blow up yourself."

Piper:"True. Hey look, it's Jock!"

Austin:"Don't try to fool me, you..."

Snoss Soldier:"Herr Devecher, es ist wirklich Jock!" (Mr. Devecher, it is really Jock!)

Austin turned around and started firing at Jock, who was with his AK-47 deletion rifle. Jock jumped behind an overturned trash can. Suddenly, Piper jumped on Austin and whacked him on the head with his bazooka.

Austin:"DANGIT! How did you escape?!"

Austin looked at the cage and saw that Piper had dug a burrow into the sand. After all, they still were on the beach.

Austin:"Drat you, puffle!"

Java ran up and threw smoke bombs at Piper and Jock. The two Hochstadt Gang members immediately took cover behind the trash can. When the smoke had cleared, Austin, Java, and the group of Snoss soldiers they were with had disappeared.

In some matter of time, the Allies had eventually captured all of Shiverpool and its port, and the Snoss were pushed back. The Frankterrans were left to patrol the city while the Lisboaguese and the Ruscans pushed the front deeper inland to liberate the Antarctic Peninsula. It was then that the citizens of Shiverpool finally emerged from hiding to welcome their new liberators with cheering crowds. Meanwhile, the Frankterrans brought in cauldrons of soup and boxes of baguettes as food aid for the city.

The day after the liberation, Piper and Jock partied with several of the other Frankterran generals and captains with an innumerable amount of Cream Soda. Nevertheless, despite the victory, the war still raged on.

Chapter 3:It's Time to Join the War

Kaiser Swiss Ninja was on a large Snoss battleship when Java Ghent arrived with his green helicopter. Java was escorted by a bunch of Stormtroopers inside the ship into Swiss Ninja's office. The Kaiser was organizing faxes and telegrams he had just received.

Java bowed before his Emperor. Swiss Ninja looked away from what he was doing and at Java.

Swiss Ninja:"Rise, Java. No need for that right now."

Java:"My liege, I have failed you. The Frankterrans have destroyed one of our cargo ships and its entourage bound for Frostize."

Swiss Ninja:"Doesn't matter. They have invaded Shiverpool with the help of the Ruscans and the Lisboaguese. The USA is now beginning to fight back as well. Luckily, Darktan and Nightmare have that taken care of since they are support."

Java:"Don't forget the Zhouese."

Austin8310 entered the office. He had been sleeping in a room nearby. Swiss Ninja acknowledged his presence by briefly looking at him. Swiss Ninja was writing something while he was talking to Java.

Swiss Ninja:"Yes."

Java:"Where are we going, my master?"

Swiss Ninja:"The Falkland Islands. Known to the Castillans as the Malvinas. We are going to invade."

Austin8310:"Swiss, that is stupid! We've kept the Castillans out of the war so far, and we can keep it that way! We don't need any more opponents!"

Swiss Ninja:"DAG NAB IT AUSTIN! QUIT QUESTIONING MY BRILLIANT PLANS! If you were given the rare gift of excellent military strategy, you would be the Kaiser. But you're not, SO SHUT UP!"

Austin:"Hmmph. Not that yours always works."

Swiss Ninja:"Shut up, I said. My plans are never bad. They are just ruined by the Castillans and the Hochstadt Gang."

Austin:"Yeah, um, great excuse."

Swiss Ninja:"CAN I JUST CONTINUE WITH MY BATTLE PLANS?"

Austin:"Fine. Kaiser with gifted military strategies."

Swiss Ninja seemed irked for a moment but he let it brush off.

Swiss Ninja:"As I was saying...it is time to attack Castilla's Malvina Islands colony NOW, because we need to keep them off guard. We can't wait too long, or else. The Castillans will join the war anyways once they see that we are winning. Here's my two cents. We will brutally attack and invade the colony. There's a fifty fifty chance that Castilla may or may not join afterwards, right? If they don't, great. Then we know they're vulernable. We'll use the islands as a base to launch nuclear missiles at them, and we'll launch a direct attack on their mainland. If they do join the war, we will give them a surprise."

Austin:"What?"

Swiss Ninja stood up and walked to several large objects covered by a tarp. Swiss Ninja ripped the tarp off the reveal several large Nuclear weapons.

Austin and Java were silent.

Swiss:"Genius. They will want to liberate their islands. So they're going to send their fleet there first. Once they do, it's good bye Castillan army."

Java:"This could not be a safe idea."

Swiss:"Oh, please. It's not like Castilla has any nukes of their own. Everyone else is too busy to help them."

Austin:"Well...it may just work. But it's a sacrifice too."

Swiss:"A sacrifice I'm willing to pay. I will win this war, if it's the last thing I do."

Austin rolled his eyes.

Austin:"That's what you said the other seven or so times you went to war."

Swiss Ninja turned red.

Swiss Ninja:"Austin, get out of my sight!"

Jock and Piper had returned to Castilla briefly to visit Clovis and Leonardo as well as to contact the United Front for the Liberation of Snowzerland, of which Jock commands. Jock contacted one of the soldiers of the front, Joseph Maximilian, via radio.

Jock:"Maximilian. Es ist Jock. Bist du da?" (Maximilian. It is Jock. Are you there?)

After a brief moment of static, Maximilian picked up the transmission.

Maximilian:"Jock, Ich höre dich gut. Was geht es mit dir?" (Jock, I hear you well. How are you?)

Jock:"Mehr oder weniger, gut. Hören Sie. Wir brauchen ihre neuen Pläne wissen." (More or less good. Listen. We need to know their plans.)

Maximilian:"Die Pläne?" (The plans?)

Jock:"Ja! Vom Militär! Wir sind jetzt in einem Krieg." (Yes! From the military! We are now in a war."

Maximilian:"Ich weiß. Ich werde dich zum militärischen Sender verbinden." (I know. I'll connect you to the military transmitter.)

Jock:"Danke schön." (Thank you very much.)

Maximilian:"Nichts zu danken! Auf Wiedersehen!" (You're welcome, good bye!)

Suddenly, the radio went static again. Then, faint transmissions could be heard.

Jock:"Let's turn up the volume..."

Jock and Piper listened in anticipation for any signs of plans. Suddenly, a familiar voice came on the radio.

"Kapitän, bist du bereit?" (Captain, are you ready?)

Piper:"It's Swiss!"

Jock:"Shhhh!"

Captain:"Ja. Jeder ist bereit. Alles anderes ist auch bereit." (Yes. Everyone is ready. Everything else is also ready.)

Swiss Ninja:"Gut. Starten Sie den Bertreib!" (Good. Start the Operation!)

Captain:"Ja, mein Kaiser!" (Yes, my Kaiser!)

Suddenly, the radio became static.

Piper:"Betreib? What's that mean?"

Jock:"It means Operation...the Snoss just started an attack."

Piper:"Where?"

Jock:"I don't know how to detect the location of the broadcasts. If only Clovis was here, he could possibly figure it out."

Piper:"Doesn't matter. We're too late."

The incessant and sudden sounds of a million shells had woken the Castillan Governor of the Falkland Islands from his siesta. He jumped up in his chair and looked around his office. The shades were closed as they normally would, but he felt something was wrong. He heard screaming.

Governor:"¿Qué es este ruido?" (What is that sound?)

Suddenly, the secretary ran into the room, panicked.

Governor:"María, ¿Qué pasa?" (Maria, what's happening?)

Maria:"Gobernador, ¡Es terrible! ¡Hay una invasión afuera tu ventana!" (Governor, it's terrible! There's an invasion outside your window!)

Gobernador:"¿De qué? ¿Moscas enojadas?" (Of what? Flies?)

Maria:"No. Abre esta ventana, y verás." (No. Open this window, and you'll see.)

The Governor briskly walked to the window and briskly forced open the shades.

Governor:"Dios mio..."

With the view of the whole capital city, the Governor could see tons of buildings in flames and a multitude of explosions. Snoss aircraft were zooming across the sky. Suddenly, a Snoss jet flew towards them and launched a deletion missile....which flew straight through the window and exploded instantly.

Swiss Ninja's battleship docked in the destroyed harbor of the destroyed Castillan city. Nothing was left but the ruins of tons of homes that had been exploded by the shellings. Cheering Snoss soldiers came to meet him. As Swiss Ninja stepped off the gangplank, he was smiling and clapping along with his soldiers.

Swiss Ninja:"Excellent! Excellent! Any prisoners?"

A Commander arrived with several Castillan Prisoners of war. They were all soldiers.

Swiss Ninja:"Commander, where is the Governor?"

Commander:"Dead. He was deleted from one of our aircraft missiles. His estate had been partially deleted, the rest of it was burned from the explosion."

Swiss Ninja:"Drats. Men, clear all this rubble and start construction for a large military fort. Establish posts around the islands, and have these new prisoners of war and the refugees as slaves. I don't care what you do with them. Just make sure they don't rebel."

Commander:"Ja, mein Kaiser!" (Yes, my Kaiser!)

Jock, Piper, Leonardo, and Clovis were immediately summoned to the Royal Palace in Metido. They all congregated at the throne room to see King Carlos in great distress.

Jock:"Your Majesty, we have arrived."

King Carlos:"Terrible news, Boys. The Snoss have attacked, invaded, and obliterated our colony on the Malvina Islands. And all of our citizens and soldiers there are now enslaved. This is now a moral crisis..."

Everyone was silent.

King Carlos:"Jock, Piper, I must severely apologize. Now I see that war is the only discourse we must persue, for our Empire is in danger, and the face of Democracy shall fall into the Snoss if we do not do anything."

Piper:"Well, you should have..."

Jock kicked Piper in annoyance to shut him up.

Jock:"We accept your apology, and don't take it too hard. We will recapture the islands and finish this war. It's about time we do, since our allies really need some help."

King Carlos:"Good. Then we'll need to split our forces. One half will go to recover our colony, the other will help push the Snoss out of Antarctica."

Jock:"As you wish, your majesty."

King Carlos:"General Hermosa will will assist you. Vaya con Dios, amigos queridos."

Everyone left the room silently.

Jock and Piper met General Hermosa in front of the palace at the front doors. General Hermosa was holding several dossier folders filled with a bunch of papers.

Piper:"Hello, General."

Hermosa:"Hola, Piper and Jock. Do you have news from the king?"

Jock:"Yes. He has declared war. He asked us to team up with you in order to aid our allies and to liberate the conquered colony."

Hermosa:"Very well. Let me deliver these documents to the king, and I will come back with you guys. We are going to deploy our ships immediately."

Several large Castillan destroyer ships had already set sail. The armada of fifty ships and two aircraft carriers may have seemed too much, but by the description of the Snoss attack on the Malvinas Islands, they needed all the help they could get. Jock was at the bow of one of the destroyers, looking into the distance with a large telescope. Piper sat on his shoulder.

Piper:"See anything?"

Jock:"No. But I know we're getting close. Quickly, let's go to the command room and look at the radar."

Jock ran with Piper to the ship's control room, where several Castillan sailors were looking at radars and operating radios. General Hermosa was commanding the ship.

Jock:"General Hermosa, there are no ships visible ahead of us."

General Hermosa:"Good. We will soon reach the Malvinas Islands in a matter of minutes, and then we will be ready to fight. Is there anything you have planned?"

Jock:"Yes. Get our cannons ready. They are long range, so we can fire them once we have sight of the coast."

General Hermosa:"But the citizens?"

Jock:"The city is already destroyed, Hermosa. They probably are expecting us so they're hiding inland."

Piper:"How about we sent aircraft ahead of us to take a report?"

Jock:"Good idea. They'll communicate with us via radio."

General Hermosa:"I'm on it."

General Hermosa ran to the radio and screamed for the pilots to take to the skies immediately.

Piper:"I'll go with them."

Jock:"Are you sure?"

Piper:"Positive."

Piper jumped off Jock's shoulder and ran to the edge of the ship so he could board the aircraft carrier, which had moved closer to the main control ship. Jock followed him. Once they crossed onto the aircraft carrier, Piper ran to his aircraft jumped inside.

Jock:"Piper!"

Piper:"Yeah, Jock?"

Jock:"Be careful out there."

Piper:"I will."

Piper closed his hatch and turned on the aircraft's engines. Jock stepped back as Piper taxied onto the runway. Piper would be the leader of the air crew, and thus he was the first to leave. As the engines began to flame orange and blue, Piper's jet dashed across the runway and jumped into the sky, towards the Malvinas Islands. Moments later, other aircraft were following him.

Piper (SQUADCOM):"Jock, we have the island's coast in sight. We await your orders."

Jock (SQUADCOM):"Piper, ascend 2,000 feet. You're too low, and the Snoss may spot you. Keep us posted and tell us what you can see in the distance."

Piper (SQUADCOM):"Roger."

As Piper glided quickly towards the land, he frequently scanned the aircraft's radar for any approaching enemies. There were none to be found. He looked ahead, the grey rocky shores of the island becoming clearer....and that was when he saw the newly built guard towers and several barbed wire fences lining the coast. He thought he even saw mines installed.

Piper (SQUADCOM):"Jock, come in, Jock. I've spotted a chain of guard towers across the coast. There seems to be a lot of barbed wire and rubble everywhere....I think I see mines, too."

Jock (SQUADCOM):"Piper, aren't you detecting any aircraft on your radar? This seems awfully suspicious..."

Piper (SQUADCOM):"No....oh wait...I think one of the guard towers just shot a red emergency flare in the sky.... I think they just....OH CR-'"

Suddenly Piper's radio became static.

Jock:"PIPER! PIPER! DO YOU READ ME?"

An array of missiles had been blasted into the sky, and Piper and the other Castillan soldiers had to dodge for their lives as the Snoss missiles blasted through the sky.

Piper (SQUADCOM):"JOCK, FIRE THE CANNONS! FIRE THE CAN-"

The radio went static again. Jock turned to General Hermosa.

Jock:"They're under attack! Are the long range cannons ready to fire?"

General Hermosa:"Yes."

Jock:"THEN FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

General Hermosa:"But wait, what about our targets?"

Jock:"Just do it and hope we get lucky! Aim for the coast or something!"

General Hermosa screamed in the radio again, and moments later, a deafening sound of heavy gunfire occurred. Large Castillan shells had been fired into the air, and they created huge explosions once they hit the island. In seconds, the Snoss guardposts had been blown to shreds, and the barbed wire had been torn up. A few of the shells managed to hit the large missile launching trucks, others hit Snoss battleships.

Piper (SQUADCOM):"Good work! You've stunned them! Keep going and send out land forces soon!"

Jock (SQUADCOM):"We will! Piper, get you and your men to drop bombs on any significant Snoss target and try your best to fend yourselves off from the enemy aircraft."

Piper (SQUADCOM):"I"m already doing that. I have new intel, too. The Snoss have built a large fortress not far inland from where you launched all the missiles. I have a feeling this is their main stronghold on the island."

Jock (SQUADCOM):"Good work. Now we've got a goal to reach..."

Chapter 4:Brutality

A Snoss soldier walked into Flywish's bedroom with a paper bag. Flywish was sitting on his bed, thinking and contemplating.

Snoss Soldier:"Hier ist dein Mittagessen, 'Papa' Flywish! Hahaha, es tut mir leid! Du bist jetzt nichts." (Here is your lunch, Papa Flywish. Hahaha, I'm sorry! You're nothing now.)

Flywish, who had no idea what he was saying, just said:"Thanks."

Flywish opened the bag. Oh boy, a sauerkraut and fish sandwich with a tub of spaghetti, again. Swiss Ninja was really trying to get at it, wasn't he?

Flywish tossed his food at the window. The food splattered and made a big mess. Suddenly, his son, Flywish II, could be heard.

Flywish II:"DAD! Psst! Dad! Over here!"

Flywish:"Son, where are you?"

Suddenly, Flywish felt something under his feet. He jumped, but quickly collected himself and removed the carpet. Flywish II had dug a hole in the celing of one of the storage rooms below Flywish's king suite. Flywish jumped down into the room to be with his son.

Flywish:"This is going to cost money."

Flywish II:"I know, but it's for the better."

Flywish:"Wait, how did you escape your room?"

Flywish II:"They don't monitor me very much. Quickly, we can escape through one of the ventilation shafts located down the hall here. From there we can make it outside into the garden. However, the area is still well guarded, so we need to keep quiet."

Flywish:"Don't worry. I have a pistol hidden under my shirt."

Flywish II:"Ok. Then let's roll!"

Flywish and his son quietly dashed into the hallway and broke into the ventilation shaft. They broke open the grate, and they ran through the garden in silence. A Snoss Soldier spotted them.

Snoss Soldier:"Sie Fliehen! SOLDATEN, ANGRIFF!" (They're running away! Soldiers, ATTACK!}

The Snoss soldiers took out their rifles and started shooting at Flywish and his son. However, they were too quick, and they were able to jump over the fence out into the city of Dellaroma. Flywish and Flywish II dashed across the street and ran inside a pharmacy.

Flywish:"Citizen! Quick, shield us!"

The Pharmacist, who was astonished, led the two into a storage room.

Pharmacist:"Papa, you are all right! It's ok, we all know of your imprisonment. We know you are not supporting the Snoss."

Flywish:"Good. But we need to get out of here. I need to find a safe haven where I can start a resistance army..."

Pharmacist:"You don't need to. We already formed one, and you are our leader."

Flywish II:"You're one of their members?"

Pharmacist:"Yes. Papa Tremezzo has been co-leading the opposition silently from his home. He'll be glad to shelter you for now."

Flywish:"Good. Arrange for my transport to Lago di Lario immediately. This violation against international law ends now."

As Piper's jet glided across the cloudy sky, the sight of the great Snoss fortress appeared in the distance and grew larger and larger with each second. What seemed like a swarm of bees dashing out of a hive turned out to be more Snoss enemy aircraft, ready to take down their enemy. Piper looked out to his sides to see his aviator comrades of the 1st Castillan Airborne Division right beside him. A warm feeling of comradery and confidence filled Piper's heart and soul, and he was ready to fight for the motherland.

Piper (SQUADCOM):"All right men. Let's close in and get ready for battle. Bomb that fortress and bring it down!"

Hundreds of the Snoss Aircraft were hurdling towards them, yet fear had escaped from Piper's mind. To him, they were nothing but a wall that could easily be jumped over. As they neared even closer, the sights and sounds of flying enemy bullets could be heard, and that was when Piper swooped the plane in a steep dive that caught his enemy off guard. Though hurtling towards the earth in only a matter of seconds, Piper jerked the joystick back and the aircraft flew back up into the sky. Piper had effectively flew past the enemy swarm and was in the clear, and could see the fortress ahead in the distance under the setting sun.

However, his victory was short sighted, for he had two Snoss aircraft on his tail. Piper made a barrel roll with the plane to avoid their bullets and to make them lose track of him, yet they still were at him. Piper searched his radar and found that he was alone, for all the other Castillan aircraft had been pushed back and were deeply focused in dogfights.

Just when the fortress was in sight, and Piper was preparing to launch his missile, one of his wings exploded.

Piper (SQUADCOM):"I'M HIT! I'M GOING DOWN!"

Jock ran to the radio.

Jock (SQUADCOM):"Piper! Eject from there!"

Piper (SQUADCOM):"NO! I'm going to finish this mission!"

Jock (SQUADCOM):"PIPER! PIPER! LISTEN TO ME, DON'T..."

As Jock was speaking, Piper positioned the aircraft so that it was heading on a spinning collision course with the main tower of the fortress. Then, at the last minute, Piper smacked the eject button and was ejected out of the aircraft and into the air, where a parachute was deployed. In a matter of seconds, the flaming aircraft collided into the main tower of the fortress with massive force, and it collapsed from the heat.

Jock stopped talking when the radio went static.

Jock:"NO!!!!!!!"

Jock slammed his head on wall. Tears filled his eyes and he felt hot everywhere. A quake of anger filled his spirit.

General Hermosa:"Jock, I'm sorry..."

Jock:"No. I'm responsible for his death. I'M GOING OUT THERE. Get me on the next ship immediately. I'm going to fight on the shores."

General Hermosa:"As you wish, Jock. As you wish."

As Piper floated down towards the ground, he could see the war occurring all around the island. Black smoke billowed everywhere, airplanes zooming around in the air like flies in a swamp. Suddenly, another Snoss aircraft flew by and started firing bullets at Piper, who was luckily spared, but not his parachute. Piper began to drop , though he quickly took out his handy handkerchief to break the fall. He floated down gently onto the grassy landscape of the Malvina Island.

As he looked around himself and took out his rifle. By now, the sky was ashy and grey. Smoke had blocked the setting sun and the sounds of gunfire and pounding artillery refused to cease. Standing of a cliff, Piper could see more Castillan forces charging up the beaches. He knew that he needed to meet up with them and finalize that last major push inland to destroy the remainder of the Snoss troops around the demolished fortress. Piper swiftly made his way down inland, dashing hastily through the tall stalks of the island, trying his best not to be seen.

However, a couple Snoss soldiers saw him and started shooting at him. Piper quickly dodged behind a rock and began shooting back. The exchange of gunfire continued; the icebullets were flying very close to Piper, with the sturdiness of the large rock protecting him. Just after he turned back to quickly reload his rifle, he saw that the two soldiers had disappeared. Piper was suspicious, and he was not sighing with any relief.

The sound of loading a gun could be heard. Piper turned around to see the two Snoss soldiers right behind him, pointing their rifles at him, ready to shoot. Piper, who was ready to shoot back, was caught off guard when they shot the weapon out of his possession.

Piper:"I surrender!"

The soldiers seemed not to care for his plea.

BANG!

Both of the two soldiers dropped to the ground. Piper opened his eyes and saw Jock approaching him, with his rifle.

Jock:"Piper! You're alive!"

Jock picked him up and hugged him warmly.

Piper:"What, you thought I was dead? I crashed the plane into the fortress, but I didn't stay in it...duh..."

Jock:"Well, you scared me. I thought we lost you for good. Nevermind that now. We have a battle to finish. We've lost a substantial amount of soldiers in this battle, and same with the Snoss. They're sending in reinforcements as we speak, so we have little time to act."

KABOOM!

A large bomb had fallen from the sky and exploded nearby Jock and Piper. They ducked behind the rock again as a bunch of earth began to splatter around everywhere. Piper and Jock looked up into the sky.

Jock:"DRATS!"

Piper:"They conquered the sky! Our aircraft have retreated!"

Jock:"No matter! We will not give this battle up! If we do not win the battle in the skies, we must win the battle on the seas. If we can not do that, then we will win the battle on land."

Piper:"And if we don't?"

At this point, several Castillan soldiers joined the two, overhearing Jock's words of inspiration.

Jock:"Then we win, even if we lose. We will become the martyrs of a cause worth fighting for. For freedom. for democracy. And for the feeling of accomplishment we had about putting up an honorable fight with the dictatorial tyranny of Swiss Ninja. We will prove to the world that we will not back down against evil. We will fight until we can no longer fight anymore, for the hopes of a better future, and for equality and peace. Sure, they say bullets are not the answer, but when you have an evil mastermind bent on world conquest, there is no compromise. We must take the risk of death in order to protect our liberties. We must take the risk of death in order to protect our country's sovereignty from the flippers of evil. ¡PARA LA PATRIA! ¡PARA CASTILLA!"

Piper and the Castillan Soldiers:"¡PARA LA PATRIA! ¡PARA CASTILLA!

Jock:"Hence, what are we waiting for? LET'S DO THIS!!!"

Jock and Piper led the group of the Castillan soldiers towards the destroyed Snoss base and began to open fire at the approaching Snoss soldier. Shell mortars from both the Castillans and the Snoss continued to explode everywhere.

Clovis and Leonardo were strolling down the liberated city of Shiverpool, taking a break from their job of spying on enemy radio conversations. As they walked the streets, they could see several Frankterran, Castillan, Antarctican, and Lisboaguese tanks and soldiers walking around from one place to another. The place had become a base for their mainland military campaigns, and hence the allied nations had set up their bases here, since by now the Snoss forces have been pushed back 200 miles away.

Leonardo:"Clovis, have you recieved any news on Piper and Jock yet?"

Clovis:"No. I'm afraid not. The last I heard was that Jock found Piper alive on the island and that they decided to participate in the fight on land."

Leonardo:"Don't you know if they're still OK?"

Clovis:"Afraid not. I heard from several sources that the battle going on in the Malvinas Islands is extremely brutal."

Leonardo:"I have hope for them!"

Suddenly, a Frankterran soldier ran towards them in urgency.

Frankterran Soldier:"Hé! Êtes-vous Clovis Hochstadt et Leonardo di Tremezzo?" (Hey! Are you Clovis Hochstadt and Leonardo di Tremezzo)

Clovis:"Oui."

Frankterran Soldier:"J'ai un message de la base castilliane! C'est une lettre importante du général Hermosa!" (I have a message from the Castillan Base! It's an important letter from General Hermosa!)

Clovis:"Merci beaucoup."

Clovis ripped open the letter. After reading it quickly for a few seconds, he smiled.

Leonardo:"What's the result?"

Clovis:"The Snoss are retreating! Jock and Piper have been leading the assault, and now they're pushing the Snoss out of the islands!"

Leonardo:"That's great! We're making progress!"

Clovis:"For now, yes."

The adrenaline had been released in Jock and Piper. No longer were they weary soldiers intimidated by their gloomy predicament. They were now the heroes of their cause, their comrades, and their country. Jock had become the wild viking he was, and Piper was the avid soldier he always wanted to be. Left and right, they spewed ice bullets every millisecond in every direction, fending off and defeating their retreating Snoss foes. Their new found self-esteem had made them feel invincible, and their positive energy had been transferred into the hearts and minds of the other Castillan soldiers, who were inspired by their bravery.

All seemed according to plan, until Jock and Piper reached the Governor's palace, which was now in ruins. At that moment, the Snoss seemed to have retreated further and ceased firing their weapons. Jock, Piper, and several Castillan marines were hiding in the ruins as they started shooting back at where they thought the Snoss soldiers were. Suddenly, Jock flew up into the air and smashed into one of the palace's destroyed walls.

Piper:"WHAT THE?"

Piper turned around to see Swiss Ninja standing in the burnt out doorway. He was angry, and the darkness of the night emphasized the dark contours of his face, and the darkness of his heart. Piper pointed his gun and started shooting at Swiss Ninja. However, Swiss Ninja stretched out his flipper and seemed to be catching the bullets, though it was hard to tell for sure. Then, without any notice, Piper's gun flew out of his grasp and landed into Swiss Ninja's flipper.

Jock had recovered from his crash and stood up.

Jock:"So, Swiss! You've learned how to use the force!"

Swiss:"More than you think, Jock."

Jock:"We don't want trouble, Swiss. Go with your troops and this doesn't have to end badly."

Swiss:"I have no intention on retreating."

Jock took out his lightsaber and kept it in his flipper, though he did not ignite it.

Jock:"Swiss, I'm warning you!"

Swiss:"Please. Where's my brother? Didn't he come as well?"

Jock:"You know he is not here."

Swiss:"Of course. Of course. I will meet him again soon. I will promise you of that."

Piper:"Give me my gun back, Swiss! I have other weapons I can, you know!"

Swiss Ninja threw Piper's gun down the hill that the governor's palace was on. The gun broke into pieces as it crashed into rocks and debris during it's long tumble.

Piper:"WHY YOU...."

Jock:"PIPER! Control yourself! Don't let him get to you!"

Piper withheld grudgingly, but with caution. Swiss Ninja took out his keysaber and ignited it, boasting the glowing red blade. Jock refused to turn on his blue lightsaber.

Swiss Ninja:"Fight me, Jock. Or die. Either way, you will lose."

Jock stuck his flipper out towards Swiss Ninja and stood looking sideways at him.

Jock:"I do not want trouble. I may not be a Jedi, but at least I have their skills and ethics. And hence, I refuse to fight you."

Swiss Ninja:"You fool. You always have been. You have no real leadership, you're nothing but Carlos's puppet! Haha!"

Piper rebutted:"SHUT UP! That's not true!"

Swiss Ninja used to force and threw Piper against the same wall that Jock had hit. Then, Swiss Ninja instantly charged at Jock, who unleashed his blue lightsaber blade at the last minute. Hence, the two commenced a lightsaber duel that was quick and rather stalemated. Swiss Ninja made many attempts to slash at Jock, but Jock easily blocked his strikes due to his intense amount of training with Fisch. Then, they finally came into a deadlock, and it was now strength against strength. Jock and Swiss Ninja's eyes were only ten centimeters away from each other, and they were looking intensely at each other.

Jock could never remember when he had ever looked into Swiss Ninja's eyes so closely. If the saying is true about the eyes being the gateway to the soul, then Jock saw nothing but hellfire and darkness. A new kind of fear panged through Jock's self-consciousness, and he struggled to escape the lock of those devilish eyes. In wake of his consciousness, but not as a response, Jock screamed:"NO!" and suddenly made a move in that he pushed Swiss Ninja away and disarmed both him and himself of their weapons in a matter of seconds. The two lightsabers, still on, landed quite a distance away, right next to Piper, who was watching the whole time after he had recovered.

Piper:"Hey! Watch it, I'm here, you know!"

Jock nor Swiss Ninja seemed to notice him.

Swiss Ninja:"Think that disarming me will end the fight? THINK AGAIN!"

Before Jock could do anything, Swiss Ninja immediately unleashed a torrent of lightning that blasted Jock with great force.

Jock:"AAAAAAAH!!!!"

Piper became frantic as he saw the lighting blasts fry his beloved penguin friend. He quickly took Jock's keysaber and threw it at Swiss Ninja, who immediately ducked, and hence stopped the lightning. The brief pause gave Jock enough time to jump for the lightsaber. Swiss Ninja then began blasting Piper with lighting with his left flipper, and attempted to blast Jock with his right. While Piper was also subject to the pain, Jock was able to block the lightning with his lightsaber. Jock inched his way towards Swiss Ninja while fending off the lightning, but Swiss Ninja eventually stopped and grabbed his red lightsaber again.

Jock and Swiss Ninja went back into a lightsaber duel, but it only lasted briefly. All of a sudden, Swiss Ninja caught Jock off guard and slashed at his torso. Jock yelped in pain and fell to the ground. His lightsaber's blade had retracted. Piper had gasped, and Swiss Ninja had laughed. Jock turned away as Swiss Ninja lifted up his flippers again to blast him, but Jock looked back at him with glowing eyes.

The Sensei State had been released!

Jock suddenly blaster Swiss Ninja with fire, and he staggered back with surprise. Then, Jock blasted Swiss Ninja with lighting, but instead of electrocuting him, the blast threw Swiss Ninja far away from him, into the sea.

The Sensei State faded, and Jock fell back to the ground again. Piper came to his aid and saw that he was severely hurt.

The Castillan marines that had evacuated the scene at the sight of Swiss Ninja had returned. They were all dirty and covered with grass and leaves as they approached. They were shocked to see Jock on the ground.

Piper:"Quickly! Jock is severely injured! Somebody call in a medic!"

Castillan Marine:"¡Sí, Señor!" (Yes Sir!)

The Marine took out a radio and began to call the medic for assistance. He looked worriedly at Jock, who was stirring unconsciously and was moaning in pain. The marine turned off his radio and nodded to Piper that help would be on the way. Meanwhile, several Castillan marines decided to carry Jock by his limbs and took him down the hill towards the approaching medic. Piper followed closely behind with his pistol drawn, in case a Snoss soldier was about to ambush them.

Chapter 5:Mainland Antarctica

Clovis and Leonardo were stationed to temporarily live in a formerly abandoned apartment complex that had been converted into living quarters for Castillan and Frankterran military personnel. Clovis was resting on his bed watching television and Leonardo was in the kitchen when there was knock on the door.

Clovis:"Who is it?"

Leonardo:"I don't know..."

Clovis and Leonardo ran together to the door and opened it. It was Piper with a suitcase. Clovis saluted him.

Piper:"Hello, Clovis and Leonardo."

Leonardo:"Hey Piper! You've been stationed here?"

Piper:"Yep. We successfully won the battle at recapturing the Malvinas Islands. Yet it was a difficult fight..."

Clovis:"Wait...where's Jock?"

Piper:"He got hurt."

Leonardo:"What happened?"

Piper:"He had a lightsaber duel with Swiss Ninja, and he slashed at his torso."

Clovis:"Ouch! That's bad...."

Piper:"Yeah. So they took him back to Metido for treatment. He's in stable condition right now, but he'll be out for a while."

Clovis:"Very well. Come inside and unpack your things. I'll brief you on what we need to get done."

Piper went into the apartment building and Clovis shut the door. Clovis ran into the closet to pull out an extra puffle bed and put it in his bedroom, across from Leonardo's puffle bed. The apartment complex only came with one room, so there wasn't space for individuals. Nevertheless, being puffles, Piper and Leonardo were used to it.

Piper:"So what is our next operation, Clovis?"

Clovis:"We are planning to commence a joint military operation with Frankterre, USA forces, Lisboagal, and some Shopper Forces, since Zhou attacked them recently, they too are now in the war."

Piper:"Will we get to their front too?"

Clovis:"Let's not think about that at the moment. USA first. Then Shops. Our liberation operation will be at Pengu Town in a couple days. Jock will still be out, so I must take his place, unfortunately."

Piper:"But you were given another task!"

Clovis:"Well King Carlos wants me to replace him."

Leonardo:"Orders are orders."

Piper:"Very well. I hope you're ready for this, Clovis."

Clovis:"Ehhh..."

The wrecked Governor's palace on the hill in the Malvinas Islands still did not change since the lightsaber battle between Swiss Ninja and Jock. The debris was still the way it was and Jock's blood still stained the ground. It was the night, the moon was out, and it was particularly dark. The Islands had been won, but much was to be rebuilt. At this hour of the day, the Castillan soldiers were sleeping, and so were the freed islanders, for now there was peace with the threat of Snoss completely gone.

But they didn't see the monster that came out of the sea.

The metal monster walked out of the sea clumsily yet quietly, and no one paid attention. It briefly paused to look around at it's surroundings, but it began to briskly walk inland cautiously. The metal monster, the clunky, clumsy metal monster, with the flag of the old Yow Kingdom on its belly, was walking up the burnt up hill of the Governor's palace. When he arrived, the metal monster turned on a flashlight and spotted the browned blood stains. The metal monster stretched out it's clumsy fat metal arm and placed its palm over it. A small laser beam came out from it, for the beam was scanning the blood. Suddenly, the robot jerked back into an upright position and froze. The silhouette in the head of the beast, who was hidden by the darkness, was moving around inside the machine, until suddenly the glass top of the machine came off, releasing steam.

A penguin walked out, coughing and cursing under his breath.

It was none other than Feey1, whose eyes looked large and peculiar. He was not wearing his 3-D glasses because of the darkness. There was no one around except for himself, but he decided to talk to himself anyways.

Feey1:"Hahaha! Jock was here! Jock Hochstadt was here! I should have known that he would have fought. That traitor. I thought he was my friend. He deserved to die, that fool! And Swiss Ninja! That idiot! He won. I hate him too. No matter! I like when my enemies fight my other enemies. BUAHAHAHAHA!"

Feey started walking around the building to see the damage that had been done.

Feey1:"I will find you Hochstadt Gang. I will find the rest of you. And when I do. I will kill you. I will find you Swiss Ninja. I will find the rest of your gang of Bounty Hunters. And when I do. I will kill you too. BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

As Feey laughed like a maniac, one of his eyes began to wander towards his eyelids. Feey was now rubbing his flippers together evilly, plotting his revenge. He was in a good mood, and was not swayed by the cold wind chill that came from the sea.

Suddenly, a sound in the bushes could be heard.

Feey1:"WHO'S THERE?!?!? I ASKED WHO'S THERE? IT'S SWISS NINJA HE'S HERE TO GET ME I KNOW IT!!!"

Feey pulled out a machine gun and started firing it everywhere. The ice bullets were flying all around in random places, yet none of them were concentrated in one spot. Feey was shooting his gun for nothing, for he didn't even try to shoot at the place where he had heard the noise.

Feey cackled to himself again and hopped into the super suit. He began to turn around and he started to head back into the sea.

All this time, Java Ghent had been hiding in the bushes near the Governor's palace some distance away. Java stayed on the island, hoping to gun down some Castillan soldiers in revenge and to keep them on their feet in search for remaining Snoss soldiers that had not retreated.

As he saw Feey leave, he lowered his sniper rifle and resolved not to shoot him. Too easy, he thought. Such a kill would be good, but it wasn't the right time, he thought. It had to be done in a cool way, or else such a prize would not be valued as much. He would wait. He would have Feey. And put his head on a silver platter for his Kaiser to hang on his wall over his fireplace. Java called Swiss Ninja via the radio to tell him of his find.

Java:"Hallo, mein Fuhrer. I have found him."

Swiss Ninja:"Who? Clovis?"

Java:"No. Feey1."

Swiss Ninja:"WHAT? Why is he on that island? He's not even relevant to the war!"

Java:"I know. But he wants to get involved. Listen, mein Kaiser, I spied on him. He has plans. Bad plans."

Swiss Ninja:"Well tell me then! I don't have all night!"

Java:"He has plans to murder you, the Bounty Hunters, and the Hochstadt Gang once he tracks us all down."

Swiss Ninja:"I see. We can't let that happen."

Java:"Worst of all he has become a maniac. I learned all of this because he was talking to himself. His sanity has left him."

Swiss Ninja:"Not to worry, Java. Not to worry. Follow him. And capture him. I want him ALIVE."

Java:"Yes, mein Fuhrer."

Swiss Ninja:"Do what must be done."

Java:"Yes, mein Kaiser!"

Swiss Ninja:"QUIT LOLLYGAGGING AND GET TO WORK! NAOUGH!"

Java:"Sorry sir!"

Java turned on his jetpack and blasted into the night sky. He tried his best not to be seen by the Castillans, and soon he found himself pursuing Feey1's Penguin Super Suit in the distance. This mission would go successfully, Java thought. Feey would not get away like the Hochstadt Gang. Not this time.

Flywish and his son, Flywish II, were staying in Papa Tremezzo's villa at the shores of Lago di Lario. Many other loyal Ligurian leaders had congregated at the villa in secret so that the Snoss-controlled Ligurian army could not crash their gathering.

Flywish:"Grazie, Grazie! It's an honor for me to be here, everyone. Now, my fellow Ligurians, we are living in a time of political distress. Swiss Ninja has wrenched away all of my power, and our beloved country is under his iron flipper of terror. Surely, we must not let that happen! As long as we keep silent, the true voices of Liguria will not be heard, and forever will Liguria be under the bondage of Snoss rule..."

Papa Tremezzo:"OH HELL NO! You tell 'em that."

Everyone started clapping.

Flywish:"Hey! I'm not finished yet. As I was saying. Swiss Ninja has illegally couped me and my cabinet out of power. He has established a puppet me in my place. He has sent our men, our soldiers, out to war in a fight we did not want to get involved in. They are not fighting the fight in the name of the motherland. They are grudgingly fighting not in the name of democracy, but rather in the name of Swiss Ninja. We shall suffer no longer! It is NOW the time to rebel! We must fight back and take back what is rightfully ours! The Snoss shall be kicked from this island, and Double Sicilia. We will fight for our freedom. We will fight for our people. We will fight for our individuality. We will fight for our culture. WE WILL FIGHT FOR THE GLORY OF LA REPUBBLICA LIGURIANA!"

Everyone started clapping loudly and were cheering. Flywish's speech was received with much gusto, and some of the meeting's participants were crying...

Clovis, Leonardo, and Piper were preparing themselves inside one of the many metal rooms of a Castillan destroyer ship. Leonardo and Piper strapped on their helmets and placed several deletion grenades into hyperspace. Clovis was taking the time to load his AK-47 Deletion rifle, carefully locking in each deletion bullet into the magazine with his flippers. He loaded several other magazines and put it under his hat in case more were needed. He looked in the mirror and strapped the rifle behind his back. Clovis saluted himself in the mirror as he tried to look tough with the rifle behind his back and the leather strap across his torso. Piper snickered at him, since Clovis was still wearing his jester suit.

Clovis:"What are you laughing about? My suit?"

Piper:"Yes. I don't think it goes well with a soldier."

Clovis:"I'm taking Jock's place. I'm a general. I can do what I want."

Piper:"Yes. A 'General'. Only in name but not in practice."

Leonardo:"Come on, Piper. Don't mock him. He'll do fine."

Clovis:"Yes. Please, Piper. I need to focus."

Clovis looked at the mirror again and made a serious war face. Piper looked away to avoid bursting out in laughter. A knock was on the door.

Leonardo:"Come in!"

A Castillan soldier entered.

Castillan Soldier:"Don Clovis, Don Piper, and Don Leonardo, we are reaching sight of the Trans-Antarctic Coast. General Hermos said to get prepared immediately in order to aid in the bombing of the Snoss fleet and to partake in the landings..."

Clovis:"Very well. Sound the signal, and we will get to our stations."

Castillan Soldier:"Si, Don Clovis."

The Castillan Soldier saluted and left briskly. About ten minutes later, the alarm rang loudly.

Clovis:"GET TO YOUR STATIONS!"

Piper and Leonardo:"Aye!"

Piper and Leonardo ran to the port of the ship to one of the gun turrets. Clovis ran up to the center of the ship where one of the major cannons were. The alarm was sounding, and all the Castillan soldiers and sailors on board were rushing about. As Clovis sat behind the controls of the cannon, he quickly looked into the distance. He could see Pengu Town in the distance, a large Snoss blockade of ships, and what seemed like a swarm of bees approaching them.

Clovis:"The Snoss Luftwaffe!"

Clovis reached for his radio and contacted Piper.

Clovis:"Piper! Leonardo! Prepare for a Luftwaffe attack! They'll be striking any moment."

Piper:"You got it. Just focus on your own thing. I've been in a war before."

Clovis turned off the radio in annoyance. He turned on the cannon and fired it immediately. The blast was deafening and smoke briefly filled the air, but the shell was soon visible and it blasted into a Snoss warship, which immediately began to sink.

Clovis:"Score one for the boys back home!"

Several of the Castillan soldiers cheered at the sight of the destroyed Snoss ship. But their victory was short lived. Almost immediately, the swarm of Snoss aircraft had arrived, and ice bullets and shooting sounds drowned the air.

Piper started firing the machine gun at the fast approaching aircraft. He was able to knock one down in the first round and damaged a few others. As they came around again, Piper and Leonardo rained fire on them and were able to knock several down. Then, the third wave hit. They again fired at the fast moving planes, but a sudden bomb dropped by Snoss jet exploded nearby, and Piper and Leonardo had to jump out of the way to safety. They ran down the ship to the large ship cannon where Clovis still was.

Clovis:"There you are! We've bombed enough ships to make a landing! Let's get to the transport barges and launch immediately!"

Leonardo:"What about the ship?"

Clovis:"Other sailors will take our place! Now let's move!"

Clovis grabbed Piper and Leonardo and placed them on his shoulders. He ran to the transport barges with a bunch of other Castillan soldiers, and they were launched into the sea. Several Castillan aircraft flew into battle to help combat the Snoss aircraft and to protect the land invasion. Everyone on the barge was quiet and everyone was solemn. Only the sounds of the barge's engine, gunfire, and explosions could be heard.

Then, as the barges landed on the beaches of Pengu Town, the Castillan and Frankterran Soldiers yelled a war cry and started firing at the Snoss as they charged up the beach. However, the Snoss were firing back, and there were Castillan and Frankterran soldiers falling back from being hit by ditto or ice bullets. Among all the commotion was Clovis, with Piper and Leonardo still on his shoulders. At one point gunpowder and explosions had blanketed the atmosphere with smoke. Since he couldn't see anymore, Clovis hid behind a building away from the Snoss line of fire.

Clovis:"AH! This is..."

Leonardo:"Unbelievable!"

Piper:"Ah, suck it up you two! This isn't called war for nothing! We have to be brave! Persevere! We're fighting for the greater cause of freedom. If we lose, freedom will be lost."

Leonardo:"But-"

Piper:"Even if we die- we contributed. We did what was right."

Clovis:"Very true. Let's get back in there then!"

Clovis reloaded his gun and turned the corner of the wall to fire at the Snoss. He could see that he had hit several of them, since he could hear them scream as they were being deleted. Suddenly, one of the Snoss soldiers jumped out of his hiding spots and started to retreat.

Piper:"GET HIM! DON'T LET HIM RETREAT!"

Clovis started chasing him with the help of Piper and Leonardo, who also had their guns out.

Clovis:"He's heading for the Ping-Peng Tower!"

Piper:"Don't worry about that! We have you covered!"

As Clovis ran across an open street, Piper and Leonardo were firing at other Snoss soldiers. The city, whose buildings still stayed intact, was still a mess. Broken glass, wood, trash, and other debris lay in the road. Some parts of the road had large holes in them from major shellings on both sides. Clovis pursued the Snoss Soldier into the Ping-Peng Tower, where thry found themselves in the lobby. It was there when he blasted the Snoss soldier with his deletion pistol. The soldier was sucked into the Cybervoid immediately.

Clovis decided to catch his breath, but he felt uncomfortable as soon as he started to look at his surroundings. Inside the lobby, the war was muffled down to a few distant explosions that would shake the room and the occational ratatatatat of a machine gun. The lobby was untouched by the war and appeared to be evacuated and abandoned, as suggested by the mess of papers on the secretary's desk and all over the floor.

Clovis:"Do you think anyone is in here?"

Piper:"I don't know."

Leonardo:"Looks like a good place for Snoss snipers since the building is high."

Clovis was looking at the fancy gilded chandelier in the middle of the lobby. His uncomfortableness was not waning despite the attractive ambiance of rose colored walls, gold crown moldings, and luxury leather couches and chairs.

Leonardo:"Hey look, a coffee machine!"

Clovis:"Cool! Let's have a drink! I'm parched!"

Clovis went over to the coffee machine to see that there was a water cooler and a basket full of stir rods, cream, and sugar next to it. Clovis put some water into the machine and made coffee for three.

They drank their coffee quickly since they knew they couldn't stay for long. They sat down in the chairs and read the magasines on the floor.

"Enjoying your drink, Clovis?"

Clovis suddenly turned around and saw Swiss Ninja standing right behind him. He seemed like he came out of nowhere.

Clovis:"AAAH!!!"

Piper:"Clovis get back!"

Clovis stumbled away from Swiss Ninja, who was still standing where he was.

Swiss Ninja:"Finally! We meet again. This time, Clovis, I will destroy you worse than I did with Jock!"

Clovis:"We'll see about that."

Swiss Ninja unleashed his red lightsaber, and Clovis unleashed his green lightsaber reluctantly afterwards. Leonardo and Piper ran under the secretary's desk to avoid the conflict. They knew the significance behind this one on one fight.

Swiss Ninja:"Jock fought poorly that day. I'm sure you'll do worse."

Clovis:"I'm not afraid of you, brother. I have lived to see and do many things and go many places. Your taunts are useless on me."

Swiss Ninja:"Very well."

Swiss Ninja suddenly blasted Clovis with a force push, but he was ready and he avoided it. Clovis and Swiss Ninja clashed with their lightsabers and were engaged in a duel. A second could not go by without the sound of their lightsabers buzzing loudly from strikes. At one point, they were at close quarters until Swiss Ninja pushed Clovis back.

Using the force, Swiss threw one of the couches at Clovis, who instinctively sliced it in half. Clovis paused for a brief moment in awe for the surreal situation he was just in.

However, he had no more time to revel in his save because he had to impulsively slice up other flying items that were being launched at him- more chairs, wall lamps, paintings, and even the secretary's computer!

Then, decisively, Clovis saw that Swiss Ninja was right under the chandelier. He quickly threw his lightsaber at the chord holding up the chandelier, which immediately broke. However, Swiss Ninja noticed and force pushed it at Clovis, who ducked it to avoid the impact but the chandelier fell on top of him.

Swiss Ninja:"Hahaha!"

Swiss Ninja started to approach Clovis in order to zap him with lightning, but Swiss Ninja stopped when bullets started firing at the air. Piper and Leonardo tried their best to fend Swiss Ninja off from Clovis for that moment, and Swiss Ninja became angry and used the force to throw the desk into the air so that he could zap them with lighting.

However, by then, Clovis threw the chandelier off, and Swiss Ninja jumped out of the way as it almost hit him. Clovis used the force to bring back his lightsaber, which had fallen to the other side of the room. Swiss Ninja got up and immediately used the force push to break a hole in the ceiling where the chandelier had been, and he jumped through the hole into the second story.

Clovis:"Quickly! After him!"

Clovis jumped through the hole as well, and he found himself in a large office room with several cubicles. Swiss Ninja was using the force again to throw random office computers and roller chairs at Clovis, who often sliced them in half or dodged them.

Piper and Leonardo heard the commotion from above and wondered about what to do.

Piper:"I can't jump that high."

Leonardo:"Let's use the elevator!"

Piper and Leonardo ran to the elevator to get to the second floor. However, Swiss Ninja knew their plans, and ran to the elevator doors, where he sliced them open and jumped on top of the elevator. Clovis pursued him afterwards, and the two of them were closed in the elevator shaft on top of the elevator, engaged in an intense lightsaber duel.

Leonardo:"Oh no! I hear them dueling on top of the elevator!"

Piper:"Then I have a plan. Take this elevator down to the first floor for a minute."

Leonardo jumped up to the elevator buttons and pressed the button to go back to the lobby.

Piper:"Good. Now let's go to the top floor."

Leonardo:"The top floor???

Piper:"The top floor. That way..."

Leonardo:"But it's a risk! What if Clovis gets squished?"

Piper:"I doubt it. One would think that jester would have died a long time ago. I have faith that he'll make it again."

Leonardo:"You're right."

Leonardo jumped up to press the button to the top floor, and the elevator began to rise quickly towards the top floor.

Clovis:"Oh snap!"

Swiss Ninja:"Muahahaha! Scared, brother?"

Clovis:"No more than you are."

Swiss Ninja:"Hahaha! I'll see about that!"

Just as they were about to approach the top floor, Swiss Ninja slashed the metal chords with his red lightsaber and jumped off immediately, sending Clovis, Piper, and Leonardo falling. Swiss used his lightsaber to cut open the elevator doors to the top floor and went inside, where he took the stairs to reach the observation deck.

Meanwhile, Clovis had to act fast, because he knew he had two obligations: saving himself and the puffles. While falling, Clovis quickly sawed a hole into the elevator with his green lightsaber, grabbed Piper and Leonardo, and quickly jumped out. Clovis stabbed his lightsaber into the concrete wall of the elevator shaft, significantly slowing his descent. All three of them reached the bottom of the building without incident.

Piper:"Drats! He got away!"

Clovis:"Not on my watch. Leonardo, please give me my jetpack. You had it stored in hyperspace, remember?"

Leonardo:"Oh yeah! How could I forget?"

Leonardo took out the jetpack and gave it to Clovis, who immediately strapped it on. Clovis put the two puffles on his shoulders and blasted up the elevator shaft. Clovis landed on the top floor of the building and also took the stairs up to the observation deck. Swiss Ninja was waiting for him with his lightsaber out. Piper and Leonardo jumped off of Clovis's shoulders and went off to the side.

Swiss Ninja:"Impressive! You've made it this far. Too bad I was only going easy on you the whole time."

Clovis:"Pfft. Yeah right. Don't bluff, brother. I know when you do."

Swiss Ninja became mad and charged at Clovis. They clashed with their lightsabers again, with Swiss Ninja attempting several times at some overhead attacks. At one point, Swiss Ninja slashed Clovis's jetpack. Clovis immediately threw it off and on him, who stumbled back near the edge of the building. Suddenly, Clovis had caught Swiss Ninja off guard and knocked his red lightsaber out of his flipper. Clovis gave Swiss Ninja a good kick in the diaphragm and Swiss Ninja stumbled off the building, giving a loud grunt.

Piper and Leonardo gasped. Everyone ran to the edge of the building to see Swiss Ninja fall, but he was too far to be seen what happened to him.

What they did not know was that Swiss Ninja was lucky, for he bounced on a large awning that stuck out of the entrance of the building, hence saving his life. Swiss Ninja bounced off of it and landed safely onto the street. He found his damaged lightsaber nearby and took it with him. He was not going to go back to fight. It was over.

Clovis, Leonardo, and Piper, who were still on the observation deck, looked into the sky and saw a ton of airplanes fly towards them. They were flying rather low, for they were warplanes ready to bomb the enemy.

Leonardo:"Oh no."

Clovis:"The Zhouese."

Piper:"What now?"

Clovis looked down the skyscraper to see a multitude of Snoss and Zhouese soldiers moving towards the coast. Clovis could see the Castillan and Frankerran ships retreating.

Clovis:"We're retreating!"

Piper:"DRATS! And we're behind!"

Leonardo:"This is bad...what now?"

Piper:"We have to board one of those planes."

Clovis:"Wait, what?"

Suddenly, as one of the aircraft began to pass, Piper jumped off the building to go on it.

Clovis:"WAAAAIT!"

Clovis and Leonardo immediately jumped off right after Piper to stop him, and the adrenaline intense sensation of free falling once again was felt. Piper landed in the middle of the Zhouese jet, right behind the cockpit. Clovis was lucky to grasp the tail of the aircraft, while Leonardo was extremely lucky to grab Clovis's foot.

Clovis:PIPER YOU'RE INSANE!!!!!"

The high speed of the aircraft did not allow Piper to hear Clovis's yelling. He was too occupied with prying open the cockpit door of the Zhouese pilot, who was now trying to spin the plane to throw everyone off. Leonardo climbed onto Clovis's shoulder, and Clovis was able to put his feet onto the aircraft. Piper was able to pry open the aircraft's cockpit door and he took out his deletion pistol and got rid of the Zhouese pilot quickly.

Piper:"Booyah!"

Clovis:"GET TO THE CONTROLS!"

Piper jumped inside and slowed down the aircraft significantly so that Clovis and Leonardo could also jump into the cockpit.

Leonardo:"Let Clovis take the controls!"

Piper:"Aww man? Why?"

Leonardo:"He's the penguin here. This isn't the time for stunts."

Clovis:"Though we may have to."

Piper closed the cockpit for Clovis and the two puffles sat on Clovis's shoulders. Clovis increased the speed of the aircraft in the direction towards the sea.

Clovis:"We have to escape, now."

Leonardo:"But we're in an enemy aircraft!"

Piper:"No worries! Give me the radio!"

Clovis handed Piper the radio. Piper tuned it to the station of the Castillan soldiers.

Piper:"¡No nos disparen! ¡Somos la Pandilla Hochstadt!" (Do not shoot us! We are the Hochstadt Gang!)

Castillan radio controller:"Vale. Les ayudaremos inmediatamente con aviones extras." (Ok. We're going to help you immediately with extra planes.)

Piper:"Vale." (Ok.)

Clovis:"Good. Now all we need to do is evade the enemy!"

Leonardo:"Looks like we don't have to! The other Castillan aircraft have come back for us and they're pushing the Zhouese aircraft away!"

Clovis:"Good. So it's smooth sailing from here then."

Chapter 6:Grim Looks Grimmer

Kaiser Swiss Ninja stood behind two Snoss Soldiers guarding him as he was looking at a group of Castillan and Frankterran soldiers that had become prisoners of war. The prisoners of war had their flippers up in the air, and they looked tattered, dirty, and utterly defeated, internally and externally. They stood behind a long cordon of Snoss soldiers with their cold metal icebullet rifles and the sharp bayonets pointing at their backs.

Swiss Ninja:"Du hast verloren." (You have lost.)

Swiss Ninja didn't expect anyone to understand what he just said since he had spoken in German. Nevertheless, one of the Frankterran soldiers got the jist of his message.

Frankterran Soldier 1:"Fou! Nous sommes prets a mourir pour nos pays!" (Fool! We're ready to die for our countries!)

Swiss Ninja walked up to him and the two were face to face. Swiss Ninja's beak was only two centimeters from his and they were looking each other in the eyes. Swiss Ninja's eyes looked cold, unforgiving, and unnatural. The Frankterran soldier's eyes looked genuinely afraid. They quivered in both fear and from the cold.

Swiss Ninja:"Qu'est ce que vous avez dit?" (What did you say?)

Frankterran Soldier 1:"Vous savez ce que nous disions! Tuez-nous comme ce que vous avez fait avec les autres!" (You know what we said! Kill us like what you have done with the others!)

Swiss Ninja spit in his face. He wasn't going to tolerate the taunts anymore.

Swiss Ninja:"C'est la guerre. Vous et votre bien-être n'etes pas importants. Maintenant vous tous allez mourir par le fusil." (This is war. You and your well being is not important. Now you all are going to die by the rifle!)

Suddenly, several Snoss rifles fired in the distance. Austin8310 ran over.

Swiss Ninja:"What is it?"

Austin:"There's a Penguin Super suit approaching us! It's Feey!"

Swiss Ninja:"WHAT? I thought he was defeated for good!"

Austin:"I guess not..."

Suddenly, Feey's penguin super suit arrived at the scene via jetpack. His arrival gained the attention of the Snoss soldiers, who started shooting at him. Their distraction gave the Castillan and Frankterran prisoners of war enough time to react by jumping on their enemies and disarming them. They immediately took their rifles and ran away for their lives, escaping into oblivion.

Swiss Ninja:"YOU FOOLS! They're getting away!"

Swiss Ninja took out his pistol and tried to shoot them, but he missed, barely missing some of them. He didn't want to shoot anymore because he wanted to save his ammo. Those peasants aren't worth killing, he thought.

Swiss Ninja turned around to see Feey's super suit standing still fifteen meters away from them. The top hatch opened up and Feey stepped out of his Penguin Super Suit.

Swiss Ninja:"You've come to the wrong neighborhood, Feey1. What are you doing?"

Feey1:"Only seeking my revenge! Swiss Ninja you are a terrible penguin. I knew you would help to dethrone me."

Swiss Ninja;"Of course I would. And yes. I am a terrible penguin. That is what makes me evil."

Feey1:"Yes! And I am the hero who will defeat you! For I have come to slay you and your other evil relatives, Hochstadt Gang, haha! AhaHAhahahaha!"

Swiss Ninja:"You think you're the hero? You're pathetic. You never were. I can feel you. You have turned to the dark side. You ARE one of us!"

Swiss Ninja grinned menacingly, for he knew he was right.

Feey1:"No! That's not true! I am the liberator! I am the hero of Yow! I will rise again, and I will destroy you both...with Nukes!"

Swiss Ninja:"LOL. Like that will happen!"

Austin8310:"Since when did you say LOL in your vocabulary?"

Swiss Ninja:"Stay out of this Austin, you're ruining the moment!"

Austin8310:"Well, in reality it was what you just..."

Swiss Ninja:"Silence! Let me finish this first!"

Austin8310:"Sorry."

Swiss Ninja:"Where were we? Oh, yeah! Like that would happen! You're a failure and you know it."

Feey:"No, you're a failure and you know it."

Swiss Ninja:"I am not! You're the one who lost his own country!"

Feey:"You're the one who lost five wars."

Swiss Ninja:"Oh, shut up, won't you? I will destroy you, here and now!"

Feey:"No, I will destroy YOU, here and now."

Swiss Ninja:"Enough of your babbling, let's dance!"

Feey:"No, I think I would rather fight you."

Swiss Ninja and Austin facepalmed.

Swiss Ninja took out his red lightsaber and ignited it. Feey did the same with his blue keysaber. Feey started charging at Swiss Ninja by running towards him and holding his keysaber out in front him. At the last minute, before it seemed as if Swiss Ninja would get stabbed, Swiss Ninja stepped out of the way casually and let Feey stumble onto the ground since he had attempted to at him. Feey, who was now embarrassed, got up after dusting himself off. He had fallen down before any blows were made. Feey charged at Swiss Ninja again, but he once again fell as Swiss Ninja stepped out of the way last minute. Feey was mad and embarrassed. His face as red now.

Swiss Ninja:"Ole!"

Feey:"Don't taunt me, Clovis!"

Swiss Ninja:"I'm Swiss Ninja!"

Feey:"Whatever, same thing!"

Swiss Ninja and Austin exchanged confused looks. Austin was a distance away, watching the fight.

Feey now came at Swiss Ninja by slashing his keysaber left and right like a timid girl trying to swat a spider. Swiss Ninja came in and finally engaged a lightsaber fight with him. Swiss Ninja was going fast, and Feey was clumsily keeping up. Swiss Ninja was too advanced for him. Feey was sweating. Sweating bad. Swiss could see it. Meanwhile, Swiss was not breathing hard at all.

Swiss Ninja:"This is what you get when you drink too much soda!"

Feey1:"This is what you get when you drink too much Cream Soda!"

Swiss Ninja knew Feey was teasing him with obvious lies purposely to get him on his nerve. He thought it would make him good. He thought that it would catch him off guard. But he didn't think that he was a Sith.

Swiss Ninja was sick of his quips, so he force pushed him across the street into the concrete wall of a building.

Feey1:"Aaack!"

Swiss Ninja:"Nonsense boy. Can't you see that you have become evil? Come! Join me! For now, I shall be your master!"

Feey1:"NOOOO!!! NEVER!!!"

Swiss Ninja laughed.

Swiss Ninja:"In fact I own you. You are my servant forever."

Feey1:"NO. NO. NO. NO. NO."

Swiss Ninja:"BOW DOWN TO ME!"

Feey1:"NEVER!"

Swiss Ninja:"Then Arrivederci, Feey!"

Feey1:"I don't speak French, Swiss!"

Swiss Ninja rolled his eyes.

Swiss Ninja put away his keysaber.

Feey1:"HA! I won! Looks like you forfeited!"

Swiss Ninja:"No, not even close."

Feey1:"Don't play it off. You know it is true."

Swiss Ninja stook out his flippers and pointed them at Feey.

Feey1:"Aww! Now you want a hug? You're probably butthurt that you lost! Boo hoo, for you, ego noob!"

Swiss Ninja:"DIE!'"

Swiss Ninja blasted Feey with lightning furiously. Feey screamed for his life like a madman since the pain was immense and unbearable. He was on the ground shaking and tossing uncontrollably while he was being electrocuted.

Feey1:"AAAAUUUUUUUUGGGH!!!!!!!"

Swiss Ninja was gritting his teeth and he was staring at his victim with intensity. His eyes were now very evil, cold, and unforgiving.

Swiss Ninja:"MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Feey1:"STOOOP! STOOOOP! PLEASE!"
