David and his friends Sam and Kait would lead the main forces hitting the base from the front while Jesse and his wife Adria (David’s parents) would attack from behind using stealth using the back entrance to get inside while David’s forces distracted the guards.
At first the mission went exactly as planned with them taking out any guards they found without alerting the rest of them. However that changed when they got into what looked like Makarov’s main Command Center.
Inside no one was there but on some large screens was Makarov with an evil smile on his face.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to meet you in person my Dragon Prince. But I have a meeting with your Queen and I would really hate to miss it and I can’t allow you to interfere with what needs to be done. We could have been true brothers but you have been nothing but trouble and it needs to end. Send Jacob my regards when you see him in heaven."
They heard a quick beeping. The last thing Jesse saw before the flash of light was the look of fear on Adria’s face before a large bomb exploded and destroyed the facility while burying them in the process.

Question of the Day
Dave is getting on an airplane. He see’s his friend Jack sitting a few rows back. He waves, and calls out his name. Dave is then met by airport security. Why?
Because Jack is the President of the United States of America
Draganisia and Allangoria
The five artillery teams continue to launch 155mm high explosive artillery shells at the large concrete facility in the distance on the hills overlooking the base. Eliezer stands behind the artillery crews as they load another volley of shells aimed at the base.
Anthony Pavlovich (Major.): Two of our choppers reported fire from behind the base, a large explosion it seems—holy!"
Two huge explosions suddenly engulf the base, for a second Eliezer thought the howitzers had hit some kind of room filled with explosives; but that's unlikely as no room filled with explosives could do an explosion that destructive
Eliezer: "They self-destructed the base..."
He pauses as he places his field binoculars between his eyes. He could see soldiers of the base convulsing wildly as the flames engulf them. He notices his own men run wildly across the field as they collapse with flames on them. The four choppers which had been sent to provide aerial support continue to circle the base, all four begin dropping ropes as they begin providing aid to their comrades.
Eliezer's look of fear after seeing the frightening blast of flames engulf the base was enough for Pavlovich to give the order without Eliezer asking.
---------------------------------------------
"Jesse! Adria! This is the Steel Wolves! We are here to help!" Three privates of the Steel Wolves continue to scout the remnants of the base as Eliezer leads the three into the remains of what seems to be a computer room. Chunks of silicon litter the floor as Eliezer's boots step onto the rubble of the base.
As Eliezer crouches down to look at a chunk of a computer that had the symbol of a fire-breathing dragon on the bottom of it. Eliezer's remembers come flowing back to him, the memory of war and starvation that he had endured with Beth. But before he gets too deep into his thoughts, a private yells Eliezer's name.
"Sir! We got a survivor!"
Eliezer's legs quickly dash over to the private that had called for him, upon looking down he sees the bloody and dusted body of Jesse.
"But where is Adria?" Eliezer turns to the private. Eliezer's eyes look around him as he sees large chunks of concrete still piled around. "Keep looking, we need to find them both." Eliezer looks back at Jesse's bloody body and notices a large pile of concrete and mesh on his right hand. As the private dashes off to look for Adria, Eliezer begins gripping his hands onto the chunks of concrete; attempting to remove the large boulders from Jesse's body. As Eliezer removes another boulder for the eighth time, he suddenly touches human skin.
"Adria!"
The reason Jesse was so bloody was because the bomb was designed specifically to kill Dragons.
First there was a chemical explosion that forced them back into their human forms before the main explosion itself. However most of Makarov’s forces still at the base were caught in the blast as well.
By the time David and his team got to them it was already too late to save his mother.
When Dragons are seriously injured their cells begin to heal immediately as long as the brain is still alive. While Jesse’s was fine Adria was not as lucky. She was closer to the main blast and in the last second tried to shield Jesse. The force of it damaged her enough to kill her before the healing process could start. It was already too late to save her. She had given her own life to save her husband. She knew they would need him to stop what was coming.
Jesse. “She’s gone.”
David looked at Tang about ready to kill her. After the explosion she told him that she knew Makarov wasn’t there but they still needed to destroy the base in order to save her people. “How could you let him kill us?!” David asked her.
Tang. “Because it was already too late to stop him from opening the portal to the City of Dreams.” (may or may not end up being Dream World)
There was another bright flash but this one was from a ways away. Makarov used a Dragon Empire key he took during his initial attack on the islands to open the portal to where the Dark Dragon Queen was.
She was a dark purple Dragon that was much larger than any of the others including Makarov. “Thank You my true Prince. Together we shall destroy those who follow the Light once and for all.”
“Yes my Queen.” Makarov said with an evil smile. “It’s time to go to Draganisia and end this.”
Meanwhile on the helicopter back to Draganisia
Tang told David and his friends why they had to let Makarov free her. “As long as she was in there she was untouchable and would have been able to spread her influence forever. In order to be able to kill her she first had to be freed.”
David still didn’t like it. “Even if that is true you should have told us before. If you did my mother and many others might still be alive!”
Tang held firm to what she had done though. “I am truly sorry for what happened but that base still needed to be destroyed. And sometimes sacrifices have to be made in order to save millions more. You and your family should know this better than anyone.”
David couldn’t really argue with that because he knew she was telling the truth. His father and Grandfather both have told him this many times. Sometimes a few had to die so everyone else could live. It’s the very reason soldiers existed. To give their lives fighting to save everyone that they could.
Jesse was on a different helicopter with Adria’s body. He was still thinking about his place in the world without his wife and if he would be strong enough to stop Makarov once and for all.

Good guess 😀
Dave said “Hi Jack” lol
I don't get it, I'm so confused

The Return Home
As Eliezer and the Steel Wolves made their way back to the base with David and the Draganisians. One of the helicopters that were being utilized suddenly lights up into flames. The helicopter pilot yells in a panicked tone as he realizes that they are being attacked,
"Surface-to-air missiles! 5 o'clock. We gotta get the hell out here!" The pilot drives the helicopter forward at full speed as Eliezer, David, and the rest of the soldiers within the main transport chopper remain motionless within the chopper; "Where the hell is the support from our two gunboats!?" The pilot continues yelling as two surface-to-air missiles begin flying behind them, which he can see from the radar.
Eliezer quickly pulls his radio and begins delivering transmission to the commanders of the two gunboats below them: "Get your guns aimed down at wherever those missiles are coming from! We lost one chopper, we are gonna lose another one if you two do not get your act's together!" Eliezer angrily yells at the two naval commanders.
One of the commanders responds, "But sir. These guns aren't for intercepting missiles," One of the commanders argues back at Eliezer as the missiles continue to get closer. "We only have—"
"BOTH OF YOUR GOD DAMN GUNBOATS ARE EQUIPPED WITH INFRARED HOMING MISSILES! USE THEM OR ELSE WE ARE ALL GOING TO PERISH BECAUSE BOTH OF YOU REFUSED TO DEFEND AGAINST A MAJOR THREAT!"
However, it was already too late. One of the missiles was already on its way to hit the chopper. Luckily the pilot immediately released the flare countermeasures and diverted the chopper steeply to the left, allowing the missile to burst behind them, and only shake the chopper violently for a few seconds. The other missile continues its course towards another one of the choppers.
Finally, one of the gunboats from below decides to fire one of its infrared homing surface-to-air interceptor missiles and successfully detonates the second missile in the air. Eliezer relaxes but is fearful of more missile strikes, so he orders the pilot and the remaining choppers to continue at full speed. He also orders the gunboats from below to rescue any of the survivors from the explosion that remain in the ocean waters. Eliezer however, becomes saddened by knowing another batch of his men were killed while returning home.
------------------------
Eliezer remains asleep in one of the seats in the chopper when he gets woken by the co-pilot.
"Sir we just wanted to report that we should be arriving at Draganisia in four hours. We managed to cross the entire Oceanic Sea and are returning back to Draganisia this instant." The co-pilot mentions to Eliezer, "We also received a transmission from Draganisia City that the Emperor wants to speak with you personally. Seems like the mission was found out by the Emperor, not exact—" The co-pilot stops talking as she notices Eliezer's expressionless reaction to the statement.
"Just get off to the cockpit, officer." Eliezer refuses to speak anymore. The co-pilot walks off back into the cockpit to assist in the flight home.
Well that's great, now the Emperor found out about the mission. I lost dozens of men, loyal fighters, improbably getting my paramilitary charter revoked, probably even getting court-martialed. Why did I even accept this offer? Was it really just for the money...
Eliezer remains in a bad mood for the rest of the flight; especially when he begins questioning quietly in his mind who fired the missiles at the helicopters. He comes to the conclusion it was most likely the remnants of Makarov's crew at the Base.
David however was looking out one of the windows as this was happening, still furious over the loss of Adria; he remains motionless in order to not wake the others. Tang had led Adria and Jesse into a trap, and now Adria was not going to be able to return home. Jesse however would probably not become the same person anymore with Adria's death, that wasn't exactly confirmed by David but he guessed it was true.
As the sun was rising, the three remaining helicopters finally landed in one of the airfields in a rural area about 15 miles from the city border of Draganisia City to the south. The helicopter crews landed here, while the gunships landed in one of the commercial navy dockyards at the coast. Eliezer and the others would leave their helicopters. Eliezer could only think of the problems he was now going to have for being part of this mission...

Rowandale, Before the Attack
Jinha, "So how's life been doing Kara?"
Kara puts down a glass of wine and responds,
"Tyler dumped me. Took his stuff. He left the apartment. I thought you knew already?"
"No one ever told me. Not even you." Jinha responds. His eyes move towards a television screen in the restaurant but before he can read some words Kara interrupts him."
"Your the not the first person I've told, I thought Kayne would've told you. Or even Grace could have told you."
Jinha, "Well neither of them even said a thing. I even met up with Kayne three days ago here in The Raven."
As Jinha says that he notices a couple looking and pointing at the television screen. Jinha leans his head to the side of the booth and looks at the small TV placed in a wall of the restaurant in front of Jinha's side of the booth he is in with Kara.
One of the news hosts (Daniella Combs) is speaking,
"This is footage as you can see of an ongoing amphibious assault being performed by Anarchist Union forces from the land of Oceania. Rowandale defense forces have fallen back and focused defense on the main parts of the city."
The other news host speaks (John Ezra).
"The government of Rowandale at this moment has declared a state of emergency and is ordering for evacuations to begin taking place. Martial law has not yet been declared but it is a possibility."
Kara looks at the screen then looks back at Jinha.
"Not good news is it."
As Jinha is about to respond, a bomb can be heard from the distance landing. It shakes the restaurant as a chandelier falls to the ground and breaks.
Jinha, "We better get out of here."
-----------
Street lights illuminate showing groups of national guardsmen escorting groups of people away. Sounds of nearby artillery shells and bombs landing can be heard. Jinha thinks its far away where they are landing, but they are closer than they seem. Jinha and Kara follow a group of national guardsmen towards the marketplace.
Kara, "I'd never think that some group of terrorists would come this far to attack this great city."
Jinha, "Me neither."
A fleet of ships from the Union of Anarchia (
The Imperial Oceanic People) makes its way towards Rowandale. The ships use stealth technology to avoid detection by Rowandale radars. The ships move through thick night fog as they make their way toward the port city of Rowandale.
Admiral, "I've neared the waters of Rowandale. Do I have permission to begin the assault?"
Megan Nelson (radio), "Yes. Go ahead Admiral Totleben. Anyway we've made significant progress back here in Oceania. 
Whiteshallow is having a hard time fighting against our armored divisions in the plains due to lack of armored units themselves. The Whiteshallowian state government has pledged its loyalty to us. However the pockets of resistance that remain will soon be taken out. Our allies in the state governments of 
Willowstone have managed to get significant progress done over there. More airborne divisions will arrive in Willowstone soon. For now you focus on your mission in Rowandale. Commander General Leuthen will expect Rowandale fully damaged by the time he arrives."
Admiral Totleben, "Yes ma'am. I will make sure Rowandale is in ashes by the time the Commander General returns."
The radio transmission with Nelson ends. Admiral Totlemen orders his officers to begin the bombardment.
Aerial squadrons from the stealth light aircraft carrier OSS Lightning begin taking off and hovering over Rowandale. From the Admiral's point of view. Balls of fire begin forming in the city of Rowandale with air raid sirens going off. Attack transports begin dropping in landing craft of infantry and armored units.
As the Admiral watches the bombardment. A transmission from the city of Rowandale suddenly reaches the Admiral.
"This is...the city of Rowandale. If you recieve this message. We ask for assistance! We are being attacked! I repeat we are being attack-"
The transmission gets cut.
"They are trying to get assistance." One of the officers points out to the Admiral.
Makarov who is also in the ship speaks,
Makarov gave an evil smile. "Let them come."
Officer. "But they will try to stop us."
Makarov. "I'm counting on it."
Admiral Totleben watches as long-range shore bombardment from the battleships behind begin dropping fire support for the amphibious landing operations going on within the coast. Eventually as the battle continues, missiles from the ships begin to be fired at the city turning the night into a ball of fire.
Admiral Totleben, "Tonight Rowandale will be flames comrades!"
----------------
Draganisia
General Elias and several of the Oceanic generals begin making their way towards a chopper.
Elias, "We have no time to waste. If we don't get over to 
United Enga right now. It'll be impossible to make any movements in Oceania. The Union of Anarchia now has control over naval assets and aerial assets."
"Well we better hurry up." Leuthen remarks.
King Harry Ormstein, "Me and my family will be waiting here in 
Draganisia. The Queen will also wait here. Right now we have no idea of the status back in Oceania."
Elias, "Which is why I have to reach my sister as fast as possible. The other generals will probably be holding out in our Underground. Its a bunker facility headquartered in Enga."
"How will we know if you'll make it?" Pacifica asks.
General Nemo, "We'll send a message...somehow."
"You'll be safest here in Draganisia." General Tatar sighs, "Alright generals. Lets get in the chopper."
"Good luck." Amelia Tang III waves.
------
Coppertown, Gold Isles, United Enga
Colonel Victor, "Thank god you've arrived. Its a mess further south. Your sister is still holding up from what I can tell."
Leuthen, "Can we reach her?"
Victor, "I've tried but its impossible. They have air support everywhere and satellite coverage of this area. Luckily loyalist forces have secured the Gold Isles. But the island of Upper Whitnisia's main city Gaen is under siege right now."
Leuthen, "Then we'll head there to make our way towards India. Alright boys lets head to Gaen."
"Purity of Men"
...
Rowandale remains in ashes after the attack, piles of rubble and shrapnel litter the entire city remnants. No life seems to even inhabit the city after all this time, no signs that Draganisia even stepped foot onto the city in order to protect it. Seawater waves continue to wash onto the beaches of Rowandale, cleaning the debris littered on the beachy floors by removing chunks of stone and garbage among the sand; multiple pieces of shrapnel and artillery shells can be found also among the beachy shores as remnants of the attack.
The city itself remains empty. The marketplace remains motionless, pieces of rotten fruit litter some of the market stalls as reminders of the abandonment of the city. On top of the Acropora Palace of Rowandale is the tattered flag of the Union; which serves as a reminder of the brutal attack that took place here. The entire palace is in disarray with chunks of glass and marble lying around the palace in a reminder of the artillery strikes that took place here.
But Eliezer isn't surprised to see the state in which the city of Rowandale is in...
63 hours before...
Palace of Draganisia
...
Eliezer is escorted by two royal guards of the Draganisian Imperial Guard towards a special room where Emperor Brian is waiting for him.
His expression remains neutral, as he shows no emotion in order for himself not to reveal anything to Brian. He wants this to go as smooth as he can, in order to get the least punishment for himself and his men.
Was Brian going to blame Adria's death on him? Was it Eliezer's fault that he had killed Adria...was he responsible for having done this siege. "No!" Eliezer begins fighting the thought as it creeps into his mind. It was Jesse's fault I got in this mess, I'm not responsible for protecting the lives of the royal family. But the thought remains in his mind as he begins his conversation with the King of Kings.
Emperor Brian remains seated in a room where he sits on a brown leather sofa. Right behind the sofa is a fire, which burns smoothly and not blazingly wild; the fire seems well fed as it is very large. Another sofa remains positioned in front of Brian, a table stands between the two sofas, with two cups of tea acting as the only piece of decoration on the table.
The rough tone of Brian is released:
"Sit," The Emperor nods as Eliezer enters and provides an additional greeting, "Welcome, usually I reserve this meeting room for discussing with members of my family, but I decided to meet with you today here. I know all about what you did over in the Tang Islands, the five million Dragoons that were paid as well. Which to be honest is a lot of money your asking for right there." Brian gives a glance over to Eliezer to hear his response, but Eliezer's mouth remains silent as he tries to find the right words.
Just get on with it. Eliezer responds but with a straight tone, as well looking straight into the eyes of Emperor Brian: "Emperor, yes I confess I led my Steel Wolves to assist your son Jesse and the Queen's raid on the Makarov Base, but I ask for you to punish me and not my men. As my men follow orders from me, I should be responsible for their actions." Eliezer hopes he spoke well as Brian's tone next becomes softer,
" Mr. Alexander, I won't be punishing you or your men. But I wanted you here in order to discuss something. After learning from David about your actions during the attack, I need to ask of you something which you may either accept or deny doing if you wish. I am not here to pressure you in doing something you refuse to do," Brian hands Eliezer a photograph, "The man here is General Commander Leuthen Jonathon, the leader of the Union of Anarchia. I need someone smart, resourceful, and intelligent in order to find more information about him. Several of my intelligence teams have reported possible signs of settlements east of Rowandale. I need you to go alone with two trusted soldiers I will send with you. You will also take Helena with you."
Eliezer, "Helena! What makes you—" Eliezer stops as he realizes he is yelling at the Emperor of Draganisia. "I'm sorry, it's just my Lord, I don't see a reason to take the girl."
Brian, "She's not safe here, I've heard rumors...theories among members of my guard as well my generals. Something her father committed...possibly did. General Leuthen has infiltrated several armies from our intelligence reports, which is why the invasion of Rowandale went swiftly well. Leuthen also ordered his agents to find the girl. I don't know why, but my conscience tells me the daughter of the King of Hard Coast must not remain here. I want you to take the girl and her mushroom as both are inseparable and get the hell out of here. Find all you can about Leuthen and his whereabouts, find those settlements, and get enough intel you can on Leuthen. We'll put a tracker on you before you leave, someone I trust will contact you. I'm asking for a lot, but I don't trust anyone who can protect Helena more than you. I owe the Queen of Hard Coast something important, and I don't want to see her daughter be killed because I could have prevented it.
Eliezer's confusion turns to anger. How could the Emperor ask him to go back out into the wilderness to protect the daughter of a royal family. Couldn't Brian send at least someone else. A secret agent? A special forces unit? Why did it have to be Eliezer?
"Sir, why does it have to be me? Why can't someone more trained and experienced in espionage be sent to protect the girl and do this mission?"
Brian: "Because you're the only person I can trust to protect this girl, also you won't be alone; the other two soldiers I pick will accompany you. Of course, there is your sister Elizabeth, but I don't want to send you both off. I'll allow you two days to prepare for the trip, say goodbye to your sister, and prepare yourself. But you don't have to accept this mission if you wish. I only fear the purity of man. I don't want to see Helena be killed right here in Draganisia, even with maximum-security I don't believe she is safe."
Eliezer doesn't remember the words that came out of his mouth but only the hesitant "yes". The next thing he knew he had a pat on his back, said goodbye to Beth, and was shipped off to Rowandale.
Eliezer: "The city look isn't surprising."
Eliezer was accompanied by two other soldiers which Brian had hand-picked for the operation. As the transport helicopter leaves from dropping off Eliezer, Helena, and two of the soldiers (don't forget the shroom); they settle down and scout the remains of the city.
"I honestly thought most of the city would still be standing, I didn't think it would be an abomination like this." Draganisian Air Force technician Gretel "Alexandra" Ek, responds, "I was hoping for a more lively community."
The other soldier, a commando in one of the Draganisian special-ops teams had given the nickname "Alexandra" to Gretel as both Eliezer and Gretel had the same hair color. Eliezer wasn't amused but Abby sure was, as Abbie was always mocking Eliezer during the flight to Rowandale. "Fun" Eliezer had mentioned as Abby spit out another mock.
Simmons Odessa, the commando that accompanied Eliezer and Gretel was not a friendly one. But surprisingly had gotten chosen by Brian to accompany the others. He poked his rifle around the rubble as if expecting a soldier to jump out of the debris and attack the group.
Eliezer, "Well let's get going."
Draganisia, Stratocratic-Anarchy Oceanic Empire, and Unanda
