“Sir,” Eldarion loudly spoke to ReconRebel. “There’s an unknown pillar of light towards the north.”
”What’s the status?” Asked ReconRebel. He walked down the corridor with reds light flashing in the ceiling and the alarms ringing around them.
“Status unknown sir,” Responded the man. “Though there are high thermal levels around the area.”
ReconRebel entered the huge conference room where the other commanders were. He turned to face Eldarion again. “Thank you. Now, make sure that everyone is in their places.”
“Yes Sir!” Eldarion quickly paced away, in search of the others.

“What’s the status?” Commanded D0GMA as ReconRebel entered the command room that contained a variety of computers around a huge table displaying a glass map of the area. The glass map radiated a white colour from the fluorescent light beneath.
“Unknown. A large pillar of light to the north and thermal levels rising.”
“The submissions…” Gasped Crono-
“Send over a radio plane to the area. Relay the data on the screen.” Spoke Gfoxcook. “If the submissions really have risen…”
The huge screen at the corner of the ceiling dropped as an image of the land came into view. A radio controlled camera plane flew northwards with high acceleration. But what the commanders saw put them to awe.
“No way…th-that’s too big!” Gasped ramagi as she snapped a rose in her hand.
A huge black fortress had risen from the ground, approximately 500 feet tall in the sky, soaring like a black cloud. But what shocked the commanders most was the mass of black floating around the citadel, the masses of thousands of submission that encircled the pinnacle of the tower.
“Holy…” YoinK_VineS stared in shock. “Mobilize stage one alert! Switch to second stage alert and mobilize weapons if submissions come here!”

“Is everyone here?” Asked RedCircle as the others nodded. The submission looked around; half the height of the temporary leader, looking like a normal submission.
“What’s happening?” Queried -Mazza-.
“Seems like the portal has opened up to the north.” Replied Afterburner.
“Then what the submission said…” carmelhadinosaur stopped suddenly.
“That’s impossible!” Gasped Inuzuka-Kiba. “The seal’s power was enormous!”
“What are the commanders doing about this?” Questioned Qwoxyl. “And what do we do?”
The speakers suddenly blared with voice. “Stage two alert! I repeat, stage two alert.” It was clearly gfoxcook’s voice and a sound of fear was present. “Mobilize all SAMs and activate all laser perimeter defence to fire at free will! I repeat…”
At once the group spread out to various directions, some to activate the SAM engines and others to the four watch towers at each end of the base to activate the external defence perimeter.

_lightning_ and XkwiziTOnE entered the north east watch tower. XkwiziTOnE ran to the computer, slamming his fingers on the keyboard like mad. _lightning_’s jaw dropped as he stared at the small data screen online.
“Oh my…there’s hundreds…thousands of them! And there’s hundreds coming here! Hurry!”

RedCircle smashed his hands on the keyboard as he stared at the error on the monitor. “Damnit!”
“Let me look!” Growled Alkador. “Electrical error…oh…”
“What’s wrong?” Muttered the_phantom_spancker.
“Stand back!” Roared Alkador. He looked to the submission as he began to speak Ancient tongue. The submission responded and walked towards the monitor, where Alkador removed a metal covering on the wall exposing wires. The submission focused as a thin bolt of electricity came out of his fingers, moving through the cables.
“Systems are online!” Cheered RedCircle. “Thanks!”

“All personal to the command room! I repeat! All personal to the command room!” Crono- roared into the speaker.
“External defence perimeter and SAMs are online!” Smiled ReconRebel.
“Did you do it yet?” YoinK_VineS asked gfoxcook.
“Nearly…I just need to do it one more time and then…”
The others poured into the room as D0GMA commanded them to take positions around computers and free chairs.
“What do we do now?” Asked XwaynecoltX, who felt helpless in the whole entire situation.
“You’ve done all you can,” Reassured gfoxcook. “Now we watch and wait.”
Somehow, none of them were reassured, but a feeling of dread and terror filled their minds and bodies.

Thousands of submissions flew in the sky, with black wings of death, all towards the rather small metallic squared structure before them…
