Moonshadow's General-
"Why should we share with you? You will bring only death to our beautiful forests! Leave only pollution in our sparkling lakes! Labor-saving humans like you have no love for the wild! You care not for what you destroy! What could you possibly give us that we would trade for our beloved home?"
Tephanis-
Tephanis grinned as he imagined the ensuing chaos of their attacks on the uninhabited islands. Soon after they would have to fight each other. He would have to talk to the new contestant about this. *Tephanis Appears before Absolix*
"Greetings Absolix, my demonic friend. How do you find my realm and the other contestants? I trust the accommodations of the Deadlands to your liking?"

As soon as I could, I used an army of Demon-Esques to invade Ashpit.
After hours of waiting, only a small group of them returned. All was conquered, but barely. I had another army go to Ashpit to ensure capture. I prepared another army to guard the Deadlands. I was going to end the war between Demon-Esques and Ashpit myself.
Noticing that someone was here, I answered "Indeed." Then I left for Ashpit.

You know, Ballistica is Freeman's island, which he mostly transformed into "Clockwork II." I figured you should probably know before attacking your ally (an ally's ally is an ally).
"I mean no harm to you, and I will plant five trees for every one tree I consume. Your water shall remain untouched, and carbon footprints shall be small. If I do share your island, I will prohibit all expansion and construction in it, except for your own homes and what not: lumbercamps will be back at my island. I will construct hydrogen transports so that water will be the only waste product when I transport materials from your island to mine, which ought not to be harmful. Your island will still be your island. Will you please share?"

OOC: Sorry Absolix but that's godmodding. You can't conquer Ashpit and Barrowblight all in one post. Also you can't even attempt to conquer Ballistica unless Sylux is logged on.

I walked through the main island to Ashpit. When I got ther,e the Demon-Esques seemed to fight even harder; They were either frightened or had a morale boost. I took down the heroes that guarded it, and in turn, they eventually surrendered. I had 5 of the greatest heroes sent to the other lands: 2 to Deadlands, 2 to Ballistica, and 1 to Barrowblight. Then, keeping my army there, I returned to the Deadlands.
OOC: Then I'll just conquer Ashpit, then go after Barrowblight later.

I suppose... as long as never ever get anywhere near the Vallenwoods! Those ancient trees contain the sacred spirit of our dead kings. Even in death they support and shelter our people."

I don't think he knew that Ballistica was Sylux's island. By reading this, he should know now.
"Very well, then. Show this single droid where the general location of that region is, and I will make sure noone will go within 500 yards of that region. Thank you."
*The droid with the audio-visual communicator steps up five steps.*
*Veers is satisfied that he didn't have to use force to invade and kill. Veers had droids at Clockwork begin construction on hydrogen vehicles for transporting wood and sent a message to his allies not to build in Moonshadow, warning them that it still belonged to the natives. Veers notified them of all the regulations (e.g. plant five trees after cutting one down, do not cut down more than 1000 trees within two weeks, etc.).*

The shattering sound of rock exploded through Apocraphya, and resounded through the other islands. A monstrousity of tremendous size began to rise up from the stone of Apocraphya. Genisis rose up, a rocky suit of armor covered its mass. Spines of rock shot out of its back and covered the sphere that was Genisis. Rotating streams of anti-particles floated inside of it, forming the crude network required to move the golem like being. Anti-gravity pushed out against the rocky armor, preventing a cataclyismic anti-matter/matter reaction. The spiked face that made Genisis turned, and it began to walk.
((All in all, its about 15 meters high and maybe 2 or 3 wide.))

Overhearing the conversation between Veers and the General of Moonshadow, I hatched a vicious plan to conquer Moonshadow. Seeing as it wasn't conquered in and of itself(Just allied with), I began to prepare an army to invade Moonshadow. First, I would have an elite squad of Demon-Esques to destroy the Vallenwoods. Then, my massive army attacks the weakened island and should be victorious. If they are, I will be more powerful. If not, I will try again soon.....

General of Moonshadow
"Maximilian! Maximilian! The Vallenwoods are speaking! They only do so when they sense danger! They say that the demon-creature is planning something vicious. They do not know what, but you must not let him out of your sight! The Vallenwoods have never been wrong!"

"Very well, then. In order to prevent anyone from invading your island, I will keep my army stationed outside to constantly protect your island. They will never actually enter your island, however..."
*Veers communicates with Absolix via one of his droids, which share a secure, protected, unhackable link with my network.*
"Absolix, have you heeded my words involving Moonshadow? You also have access to materials that I bring out, but you may not enter it: the natives do not trust you."
*Veers starts eyeing Lordara, a nice command post. He begins amassing a second army of AIDs, HADs, and war vehicles, and sends them to the outskirts of Lordara without actually entering the island. This army takes a passive, non-threatening stance.*
"Freeman, how is your invasion going along? Do you require assistance?"

I had already enacted my plan: A group of elite Demon Ninjas, cloaked in invisibiility, were sent and slipped past Veers' army. They planted explosives everywhere and then returned.
I heard Veers and replied: "What? You allied with them?! Damn, I already sent Ninjas there. They planted explosives. Find the explosives and disable them by cutting the blue wires. Red will automatically detonate them, green will shorten the length until explosion. Damn, if I knew you were allied with them...." I turned away
The Ninjas came back, saying "Master, we planted the explosives." "No, you morons! Go back and disable them! Veers is allied with them, we can't lose his trust!"
"Very well, Master." Then they left. I shapeshifted into a Dark Elf and ran to Moonshadow.
The bombs will detonate in the next two posts.
What island is Freeman trying to capture?

Prince of Lordara-
In the castle of Lordara Prince Amalchi III lounges on his bed. Pointing to a servant he says
"Charles, bring me a glass of wine. And perhaps a slave girl from the harem. Yes, what was that one's name... Victoria or was Gloria, perhaps it was Doris...? Hmm, well just bring that one from last night. And get a move on, you walk like a turtle!"
*The servant bows deeply as he backs out of the door*
General of Moonshadow-
*The General mutters to himself*
"Hmm, the Vallenwoods sense a group of demons within our boundaries. I wonder who sent them... more importantly, what damage have they wrought?"

"General, we have a situation: some cloaked ninjas from your 'demon' planted explosives! You need to find them and cut the blue wires. Cut only the blue wires: red and green will only make the explosion more immediate. I will send in some droids to help outside of the prohibited regions. Do not worry, they will not emit waste."
*I frantically order 1% of the stationed army to enter the grounds and cut the blue wires of any explosive found. Being droids, they can detect the explosives using any of their several visions (e.g. infrared, x-ray, standard, ultraviolet, etc.) than any organism can. Eventually, approximately 95% of all explosives are found outside of the prohibited region. Tephanis only knows whether the explosives inside the ancient forest were found...*

I arrived at Moonshadow and ran directly for Vallenwoods. I used an arrow to cut the blue wires of every bomb I found.
An hour later, after me and every Demon-Esque with me disabled the bombs, we apologized to the nomads and left.
The last hidden bomb, and most powerful, exploded. I turned around in shock. "You morons! You didn't cut the ultra bomb?!"
"Ugh..... We may as well go back and start repairing the damage we did......"

General of Moonshadow
"Did you get all of them? God knows what would have happ........AUUUUUUUGH!!! MY HEAD! WHAT IS HAPPENING? So much pain! Auuugggghh! The Vallenwoods! They're dying! Help me! Help me! *Sprites and Faeries run about the place clutching there heads and trying in vain to claw away the pain* In the forest things are even worse....
The Vallenwoods' sap is oozing out of the cuts all over their trunks like blood. Priests try in vain to block the flow, but the pain clouds their concentration. Waves of mental turmoil flow over the island. Within minutes all but 3 of the Vallenwoods are destroyed and over 9/10 of the trees and population are dead. Near everyone is dead, except for the now unconscious General and several of his elite guard.

"GAH! CD-Aquas, start putting out all fires now! Everyone's lives depends upon it!"
*The CD-Aquas start shooting water jets at all fires within the island and successfully extinguish them within one minute. They then leave the island. More droids enter and start planting trees immediately outside of the Vallenwoods to make up for the trees that were destroyed.*
"I apologize, General. I have minimized the aftermath of the bomb and began planting more trees to palliate the damage. Is there any other way I may help? Is there anything I can provide? Is there anything I can do?"

When I arrived, we were too late. The explosion had already happened. Many dead bodies lay scattered all over the place, along with the Vallenwoods.
I knew what to do. My eyes began to glow a bright red, and I reverted to a Human form. I inhaled deeply, and rose my arms. Suddenly, the Vallenwoods' damages began to dissappear, and they seemed to mend themselves. Living once more, the Vallenwoods were fine, but I could not save every villager. Only half could be revived. I fell unconcious, then faded away back to the Deadlands, where the Demons watched me as I healed. Doing that damaged me greatly on the inside, but I should heal quickly if I am undisturbed.

General of Moonshadow
The General is overwhelmed, as he was an old man before the fall of the Vallenwoods. But he just couldn't survive the shock, even after they were revived. His body lay on the ground, at peace.
His guards gather around him and carry him to the burnt grounds of the Vallenwood forest. One sprite stays behind and says....
"Please, leave our land in peace. We merely wanted to survive this war. We will give you the gem, just don't use it, we don't want any more trouble. *The sprite offers a radiant emerald*

Darn, I posted so slowly that I minimized the damage seconds after everyone died. Of course...this is REALLY good for me... "Thank you, and I'm sorry I brought you into this mess. I'm really sorry. I may never come close to knowing how you feel, but I will do my best." * Everything is withdrawn from Moonshadow. Well, at least Veers has a second gem...* * The emerald, under full guard, is transported back to Clockwork and integrated into the Integrator. The humming that indicated the functioning of the Integrator faded as it became twice as powerful. Now one gem could fully power the shield while the other could power the island's functions.*
