"We do indeed. Clear some room!"
At those words, the Volictors surrounding the two leaders formed a large ring around them, to keep any outside forces from interfering.
"Should Dest survive, he is to be let out of the base unmolested. Are we clear?"
Forgoing any weapons, Kalrafex merely loosened up his body, getting ready for the fight.

Yes, came the thought-message of the Hivemind, If you simply attempt to ignore the mental static, it should fade, but if someone needs to contact you, they will impede into your thoughts like someone interrupting a conversation

On the ground, Dest stepped into the ring, and put a bend in his legs, so that they remained 8 feet long, but doubled up behind him like those of a cricket.

He reshaped his body, adding muscle but slimming it down to be as fast as possible, while also developing armour-like scales all over his body, and eventually he stood 8 feet tall and ready for battle

Seeing this transformation, Kalrafex's respect for his adversary grew.
That is indeed an interesting trick he thought.
Pushing aside any nagging doubts, Kalrafex sprang forward, opening with a strike directed at Dest's left thigh.

Dest simply moved his left foot back, moving the leg out of the way, struck Kalfrex with a bolt of telekinetic force to put him balance, and lunged with a disembowelling kick with his massive right leg

Reacting quickly, Kalrafex was able to put a hand of razor-sharp blades in front of his stomach before getting hit by the vicious kick.
I'll let you decide what happens to your guy's foot/leg

The kick landed, but Kalrafex's claws dug into Dest's foot. He grunted in pain, and morphed his hand into a large poison-sting, even as he lunged for Kalrafex's belly

And now it's you turn.

Would it be better if we sorted this out by PM, then one of us posted the whole fight?

The capsule screamed through the sky, hull turning bright red as it passed from one atmosphere into a nother. It sped through the clouds and rushed toward a small field.
On impact, the force blasted the whole crop to the ground, leaving a giant crater in the middle.
The capsule smoldered in its hole, not moving. Suddenly, it began to jerk. Audible bumps could be heard from inside.
*Bam!BAM!*BY RATH, OPEN YOU BLASTED METAL!*BAM!*
The door of the capsule was smashed open and the smoke cleared as the compacted air blew out. Coughing and hacking, Tun-Dar made his way out. The rest of his squad followed, all gratefully breathing in deep breaths of air.
"Alright, we're alive. Now form up!" Tun-Dar ordered. The troops quickly aligned, and he made a mental note of his troops. Hmm...20 warriors, 4 engineers, and enough supplies to last us a few days.
Tun-Dar then gave a quick look around the new area. It was all flat with a few more fields a way off. Looking to his left, Tun-Dar spotted an odd shaped structure. It was very wide and tall, with rectangular-shaped walls and a rounded roof. On one side were massive doors, almost reaching the top of the wall.
"Alright, my comrades. We'll bunker there until we know where we are and what we need to do."
he said, then made his way to the brown colored structure.

Somewhere in the Mid-west of the US, in case you wanted to know.

The kick landed, but Kalrafex's claws dug into Dest's foot. He grunted in pain, and morphed his hand into a large poison-sting, even as he lunged for Kalrafex's belly
Luckily for Kalrafex, the natural armor plating of its species was enough to deflect the thrust of the poison stinger, but the blow was enough to send it skidding back ten feet, and knock the wind out of it.
Recovering, it used the mounted void-cannon to send him flying at Dest faster than a leap alone could have hoped to achieve.
Targeting the poison-stinger, still outstretched from the blow, Kalrafex swung his left claw-hand.
Dest straightened both legs, raising him several feet higher, and moving his upper body out of harms way. He quickly stepped away and moved down to usual height, and fired several bolts of psychic energy, as a tail began to form
Though its move had been thwarted, Kalrafex dug its claws into the ground, swinging around and moving into a kick, aimed at Dest's leg.
This is now just getting irritating. It's like trying to hit the breeze! Kalrafex thought.

Seeing Kalrafex's irritation, Dest smiled,

"I'll come down if you want" he said, and Suddenly, his legs warped and shrivelled, while his arm and leg muscles bulged out, and his tail formed fully, a long, thick, articulate limb with a sting on the end

Dest stepped in, feinted with a punch and swung his tail to strike Kalrafex's leg
Caught off guard by the sudden change again, Kalrafex ended up kicking a leg that was much sturdier than the original target. Falling to the floor, it reacted by catching Dest's fist, and barely managed to escape the brunt of the blow from the tail by pushing up with both legs and the free arm. However, the tail still caught Kalrafex's calf as it completed the swing. Keeping a firm grip on Dest's hand, c was flipped over twice, but in doing so twisted Dest's arm around with it.
forgot about the psychic part.
Don't worry, it's not that important

Dest laughed, and his shoulders rippled. Suddenly, his arm lunged backwards, his upper body having rearranged to allow total freedom of moment. He spun, kicked at Kalrafex and leapt back

"You can't win like this. How can hope to defeat me by sheer bodily combat? I will always have the advantage. Just give it up"
"We're known for being stubborn, you know," Kalrafex replied.
"And it is kind of fun to fight someone like you. It's like a training dummy or something."
ThreeWords is going to bed now. More of this will be put up later.

The Last Resort Touched down following the beacon set on the escape pod. He landed in the spot designated "United States." They found an abandoned escape pod, and fanned out to try to find them.

Sylvan watched as the space battle between the Ramgrogs and the Ladredas came to a climatic end. His mechanical fleet observed the black hole that sucked in the Ramgrog ship and the destruction of the Ladredas flagship. The Novavores began sending encrypted messages to one another, whispers of concern as the surviving aliens began launching emergency pods to Earth.

"The situation is changing rapidly. These two races are now heading to Earth as well. Undoubtedly, they will drag with them their war. What is your advice, High Keeper?" Commander Ralfix inquired.

"Intriguing!" Sylvan responded, lost in thought for a moment. "They are willing to die for this rock. Well, so are we!. Now is the time to act!. Activate the Warrior models!" the blue glow in his eyes sparkled as he spoke.
"The Novavores has seen enough. This invasion plague must end. They have shown little worth for laying claim to this planet. One race at a time, the hostiles must be exterminated"

Warriors are awaiting orders


Sylvan walked into the Hanger deck where part of the Warrior models were stored. Upon entering, the units formed into formidable battle formation. "What is your command?" they spoke in unison.

"My brethren!" Sylvan began. "Our new homeworld lies before us. However, our path is obstructed by many foes that lie between us and our prize. The enemy is threatening to exterminate the humans, but, if we are to settle this planet we need them alive. We stood by, hoping that their bickering will tear them apart, but they are unusually resilient and determined. They leave us with little choice. Today, I activate our Prime Command. Today, we go to war!" Sylvan's speech was met with a roar of approval.
"I want our defense squadrons to land and support our perimeter over the Pacific. Do not engage the humans. Reassure them that we mean them no harm. All other battle squadrons, infantry and siege alike, will follow me into the region called the United States. We have business there that needs taking care of" Sylvan armed his Nova Cannon augment before proceeding.
"Novavores!, let our presence be felt. Move into your drop pods and Good Hunting" he concluded.

The Nomad and the remaining Warstars were buzzing with activity. Pod bay doors across the fleet began to open. The infantry models formed compact rows within their designated drop pods, allowing for the 12 foot siege models to retract and house themselves in the spaces between. Withing the vacuum of space, the drop pods finally launched in silence. The defense squadrons altered their pod engines to land on strategic positions along the Pacific Rim. The attack squadrons plotted a course for mainland United States.

ETA: 15 minutes and 48 seconds.

"Langthrax, word is that two more species are landing on Earth, in the area called United States. What are your orders?"

Langthrax thought about this for a while. From what information he had gathered before, these United Staes are a very important aspect of their research, due to its change in geography amoung other things. "Get the the head of J-Division, recruitment 14."

A harsh voice came in over the communicator:

"What is it Langthrax head of exploration factor F?"

"Basic Protocol says we only need a sample of the species on the planet alive, commander, is that correct?"

"*sigh* Yes."

"Good, as that's what we're currently holding over the war. However, America has just recieved two more species fighting."

"What's your point?"

"What I'm asking for, Commander, is more troops."

"What?"

"America is a key area of study and research. If that area gets destroyed, we will have our work severely compromised."

"Look, you have the standard army size, same as any other exploration faction of recruitment faction 14."

"True, but every other exploration faction has already gotten close to finishing, due to the fact that their planets have no lifeforms on it. Surely there is one which has finished its work already?"

"Very well, I'll see what I can do."

"Than you, Commander. Langthrax out."

He turned to Langnuar, his second in command.

"What should I tell the troops."

"Tell them to keep their stronghold over Germany for now. Until we recieve information from the commander, that is our top priority." He looked out over the world. "Until we get a reply, all we can do is wait." as he saw the quarrelling fleets descend over the United States.

The RAS, Reconnaissance and Assault Squadron of the Novavore fleet led by Sylvan Dol-Kar, began its decent through Earth's atmosphere. The multiple pods streaked the air, the metallic skin glowing red with fire as it brushed the atmosphere while hurtling towards the ground. Through the external cameras, the crews inside the pods could view the events of the outside world. They were minutes away from landing.

Altitude 500feet..400feet..300feet..200feet, igniting reverse thrusters, the pods jolted as the thrusters came online, bringing the rapid decent to a controlled halt. The pods hovered over the ground for a few seconds before finally settling down in the middle of a giant open field. The pod computer began analyzing their location.

Current location: Central Park, region: New York, United States

The door to the pods opened and through one of them Sylvan stepped out. He paused for a minute to let the light of the sun fall on his armor. "This feels like home already" he let out an ear shattering roar that echoed through the deserted streets. One by one, the other Novavores disembarked and formed up behind their leader. The drones began to fly overhead, the siege bots extended their frames again regaining their 12 foot stature, the infantry readied their augments.

"Brethren!" Sylvan said simply "Battle formations, move out!"

The Conclusion to our duel!

Dest merely smiled in reply, then suddenly, a huge change came over him.

His tail twisted, grew a knee, and became another leg, while another swiftly grew. Dest shifted his weight onto all four while his upper body shifted and writhed, a second set of arms and shoulders sprouted from his ribcage.

These new arms were shorter and thinner, but had long, sharp claws. All four legs were now longer, and slimmer, resembling those of a spider

"Ready when you are," grinned Dest in his new form

"Oh for the love of irchs," Kalrafex muttered, "I've got to stop this soon."

Leaping into action, Kal ran right at Dest, before rolling under under the creature's midsection. Faking a hook to the back legs, the other clawed hand shot up in an uppercut, aimed at the torso. The blow landed, but the armoured scales absorbed the damage, and Dest was to stable to be staggered

Dest repositioned and replied with a hail of blows and scratches from all four arms, and kicks from the front legs. Kalrafex was hit multiple times, and thrown back again. The blows broke the cannon repeater mounted on its shoulder, however.

Annoyed, it shredded the mess with its claws and kicked the metal away. Springing forward again, it again rolled as if to go under Dest, but popped up by shooting an arm down. It soared over top of Dest, grabbing his neck while palming something with its free hand and plunging the contents held within as deep into the enemy's body as possible. That completed, Kalrafex jumped back off Dest, targeted the planted Phorfex grenade, and, whispering "Die well," Kal triggered the void cannon.

In sudden panic, Dest reached behind him, groping for the grenade. He wrenched it out, but it stuck instead to his hand. As a last resort, he lengthened the arm, armoured his body and charged toward Kalrafex

The crowd scattered, but the grenade exploded before they could escape. Many were consumed by the gouts of flame, and when the dust cleared, very little moved. Kalrafex could not be seen, but among the bodies, one stirred.

His body mangled and torn, kept alive by little more than his huge psychic reserves, Dest struggled weakly to move. The Hivemind focussed upon him, channelled huge healing energies, but little could be done through psychic forces alone. Other members of the Collective were sent to collect him,and the Volictors stood back, a temporary ceasefire had arisen from the duel's outcome

The Collective forces moved back with Dest among them, and returned him to the recycling-vats, there, with luck, to grow a new body

I've repositioned a few pieces to make it easier reading. Yell if there's a problem =P

Also, Kalrafex's fate is up to you

Lurching up from where it had landed fifty feet away, Kalrafex's broken form staggered back to the lines. Eying the Collective forces that were walking away with their own broken leader, it was about to speak, then lost all strength and blacked out.
The Volictors carried Kalrafex back to the ship, and called for a hospice to come down.
Nice! Good spacing.

The Ramgorg squad finally made it to the oddly shaped structure. They quickly made their way inside and shut the massive doors.
Before anyone could say anything, they heard a slight rustling coming near the real. Tun-Dar put his fingers on his lips and slowly crept towards the sound, keeping his weapon drawn.
He crept toward a low-laying pen, hay spilling out of the open side of it. Keeping his breath quiet, tried to identify where the creatures were hiding. However, it seemed as though the creature was just lying their. Taking a deep breath, he spun out of his hiding spot, weapon raised. "Keep silent and keep your hands down.." he began, but stopped when he saw the creature.
"Bhaa." it said.
"What is it, High Chief?" One of his troops said, laser-rifle armed in his tense grasp."
"Well, um, it's, ahhh...a Ramgrog?" he said, but was confused. It certainly had the same head-shape and horns, with fur and hooves. But it was incredibly small, barely reaching his knees.
"Ahh, it's a baby!" one of the soldiers said, coming to pick it up. "Dae-Se, now's not the time for games!" Tun-Dar growled, searching the rest of the room.
The soldiers huddled around, unsure what to do. Tun-Dar came back again. "Well, it seems like we're clear. We can stay here for a while, take a rest, then plan for..."
Tun-Dar's speech was cut short by a large sound outside. One of his soldiers picked out of the doors, then quickly slammed it.
"High Chief! It's the Ladredas! They've landed near here.!"
Tun-Dar was shocked for a moment, but it passed quickly. "Then we need to find a quick escape. He looked around again, and saw something with wheels near the back. Going closer, he saw it had four wheels, a enclosed seating area, and a large bed [http://dealer.webmakerx.net/Images/Picture/2006/December/lg_Red%20Dakota3.jpg]. It also had a wide trailer with rails on it's edges. Another similar vehicle, though smaller and without a trailer.
Going to his nearest engineer, he grabbed her and pointed to the vehicle. "Think you can operate that?" he asked.
"Um, well, High Chief, I...I did have some training in Alien Technology Operation, but that seems-"
"Excellent!" he said, and jumped in the bed of the truck. "Let's get out of here, and quick!"

For those of you wondering how one truck and a trailer can handle a squadron of large Goat-wo/men, it's a Dodge. With a Hemmy.

The small squad Kelvan was leading came up to a building. It was strangely made, and a slight growl was coming from the inside. "Place charges on the door"

The squad rushed to place the charges and Kelvan stepped back. The planet was as perfect as he could imagine: Carbon based, Nitrogen based atmosphere, water everywhere, the potential was great. Here his people could reproduce, become more powerful then ever before, take control of the galaxy, and the stars further than that.

As he pondered this he heard the growling increase, louder and louder. Before the soldiers were done laying the charges, a craft of some sort blasted through the door, crushing his men and retreating quickly away. Kelvan let loose a barrage of fire hitting one or two soldiers, but failing to stop the speeding vehicle.

Langthrax waited patiently in his white, rectangular office with a glass floor so he could look pver Earth when suddenly, a message came through on the intercom.

"Langthrax."

"Yes, commandor?"

"I've had a look at the documents of research round J-Division, recruitment 14."

"And the result."

"It seems that you are correct that the rest of them have either finished or are close to it, therefore, I will send you assisstance from exploration factions J, D and E. All three of them have already finished gathering research about their designated planet and therefore can help out in both the research and the war. Whilst you will still be in command of the total fleet, I expect you to treat their strategy opinions equally with yours."

"Thank you, commandor."

"They are on their way now. Commandor, out." was recieved when three more fleets of the same size as the previous infector fleet appeared from outer space. And three more voices were heard.

"Sahnung on."

"Chiefla on."

"Kahdoh on."

"Sahnung, Chiefla, Kahdoh, this is Langthrax. For now, the commandor has given me control over the whole fleet, yet I am told to treat you like equals. Now that we have a larger fleet though, we are going to war. Sahnung, you and I will go to the most damaged part of the world, known as United States. Chiefla and Kahdoh, I expect you to keep your disguises on and guard Germany. If any invading species comes close, take them out. Send this message to your fleets:"

Exploration factions J, D, F, and E. I am Langthrax, head of Exploration faction F. You have been summoned to this planet as you have finished collecting research from your assigned planet, and we need your help.

If you don't know yet, the planet you're hovering over is called Earth. Recently, several species have been trying to invade this planet. At risk of compromising our work, we have been asked to go to war.

At first we decided to keep to standard protocol, but after seeing how destructive some of these races are, and now seeing that two more have reached Earth, we have no choice other than to fight.

I already know of a species on our side. These are called the Novovores. They are robots in biological skin. Under any circumstance we will not fight them. Any other race though currently have unknown intentions, and until they become known they will be an enemy.

Here's the plan. Exploration faction J and F will come to these United States and fight the enemies. Factions D and E on the other hand will stay in Germany and keep a stronghold there. Remember, with the acception of the Novovores, any species that tresspass on Germany must be attacked. Also, if the Novovores attack our fleet or start to, then you have full right to respond in an attack.

Any questions can be sent to me via message or be sent to your leaders. That is all. Langthrax out.


And so, factions J and F went away, as a large number of what seemed to be clouds started to cross the Atlantic.

After recovering, Kalrafex took command of the Volictor forces once again. All over the globe, bombers came swooping in, decimating cities and pockets of resistance near the Volictor landing sites, which had grown to 65 miles in average diameter.
When the airstrikes faded, the ground forces advanced.
Upon issuing these orders, a messenger appeared before Kalrafex. It brought news of the space battle, and the results of the clash. In response to the news, Kalrafex sent scouts to the last reported location of both parties.

"Langthrax, we are now over United States."

"Good. However, do not descend until ordered. We must find opposing troops first and don't want to give ourselves away to the humans yet." He replied as a strange number of rainclouds hovered over the Nevada desert.

Smashed by the air-strike, the Collective retreated to the safe-zone created by their AA turrets. A new tactic was needed.

Above, in orbit, millions of spores were launched, floating down toward the planet. They came down spread across all the magor landmasses, and wherever they landed, they grew into tiny organisms, which collected biomass, and in turn created bigger creatures.

Within the hour, Collective bases had sprung up all through Volictor territory and beyond, and the Hivemind had become aware of the new presences on the surface. Bio-diplomats were deployed, bearing no weaponry, and broadcasting a relaxing, peaceful aura to discourage violence and promote negotiation, and they made their way to Novavore, Ramrog and Ledredas bases
