First Munijoch Civil War

The First Munijoch Civil War was a war fought between the self-proclaimed country of the Free Republic of Munijoch and the occupant country, WhiteBlood Munijoch. The war sought to bring democracy to Munijoch, something that Munijoch has not had in over 90 years at that point. Through brutal guerrilla warfare and master strategic ambushes by Squadron E, an elite death team formed by Joseph Yslenski, the rebellion successfully brought back democracy to Munijoch.

While not "officially" the first civil war in Munijoch's history, and chronologically would take third, this is the first large scale war on Munijoch's soil that erupted more than simple skirmishes, but instead led to full on war.

Prologue: The Darkness Within
A figure sat upon a throne, in a room covered top to bottom with ornate marble, white granite, and ruby adornments. He wore a hood, concealing his face from most but those that can pierce the veil, and had glowing, yellow eyes that seemingly pierced one's very soul. His adornments were white, sans the insignia of the supreme law of the land and a metal shoulder plate. To most, he was the Omnipotent Blood, the master of the dark arts of the WhiteBloods, and supreme emperor of Munijoch, having been in the WhiteBlood's grasp for around 100 years. Others saw him as their executioner, powerless to even compare to his strength. But to members of his family, one long forgotten within the bowels of their minds, he took many names: Mark, Honey, Dad, Sweetie, Father-- dead.

In order to ascend to the throne, Mark had to give up everything that posed a threat, excluding his wife, who now became the second most important role: Omnipotent secretary. That meant creating an illusion to trick Joseph, his son in training, into thinking he was dead. Little did he know that he ended up waking a great darkness within him-- a darkness that had been trained by Mark long ago, but untouched by Joseph. He realized then that getting his son back would prove as a great asset to his plan of conquering the entirety of Antarctica.

But, there were two ways to go about this. Mark thought that he could only bring back Joseph if he destroyed the little opposition, or if he personally confronted him. He had yet to prepare a binding trinket to ensure that Joseph wouldn't try and kill him, but magic can be so unreliable at times. Either plan, he concluded, would involve heavily armed confrontation.

He realized quickly, however, the fatal flaw: the engine that he has grown to despise since he began studying the trait that his family wields. He found that the Infinite Engine, a power source of extra-terrestrial origin, directly powers Joseph's (and Mark's) power. Why then would Mark be so bent on destroying the engine, seeing as it gave him powers? The simple answer is the pure untamed nature of it. By destroying the engine and obtaining a shard, Mark can directly control and power the vision in a more efficient manner.

As he began thinking more and more upon his previous actions, the Council of Bloods, consisting of the Alpha, Beta, Centauri, and Gamma Bloods, walked in his throne room.

"Oh great Omnipotent Blood! We come bearing news and fruits of our tireless labor and research!" exclaimed the Alpha Blood, bowing with the group.

"What have you brought, Alpha?" Mark replied, looking down with interest.

The Alpha Blood brought out a black locket, swirling with dark energy stored within a crystal.

"The answer to the problems you will one day have, as you predicted," the Alpha Blood said again, grinning.

War was all that Joseph could have known. War was what Joseph lived through almost everyday as far as he could remember. Sometimes, Joseph had nightmares of his training routines; he just simply joked that even his mind was exercising, even in his sleep. He could not escape, however, the image of his father. It has been a week since his parents were killed by the WhiteBloods, and during that amount of time, Joseph has been inducted into a rebellion staged by Victor Malkov, a masterful planner and the brains of the rebellion. He saw Joseph's potential, and sought to harbor and use it. After all, destroying an entire base out of anger is quite an achievement for any aspiring soldier looking to defect.

Over the week, Victor and Joseph trained and began recruiting more and more people into their cause. They truly saw potential in what they were doing, and sought to take back Munijoch from an archaic order's hands.

Joseph knew little of the power that was unleashed that day at the base, and neither did Victor. Yet, Victor became incredibly interested in these powers, and began to research more on the properties of such powers, as well as whether or not he too could wield such enormous power. But, why would he want that? Perhaps, his inner desire to one up each and everyone of his peers contributed to this, or the thought of wielding such immense power, and swaying the nation to his side.

For Victor, however, Joseph was the perfect conduit to exert his will on, and he will use that to his advantage whenever he could.

Chapter One: Resist
It has been a little over a month since the insurrection began. In that time, the resistance to the WhiteBloods carved out an enclave within Mt. Vespa City, ravaged and torn asunder due to the guerrilla warfare from both sides, as well as the corrupting and destructive magic from the WhiteBloods. While reconstruction efforts have begun, the process is long and arduous with limited supply. Despite this, troops are in high spirits, since it appears the WhiteBloods seem to be content with letting the resistance take Mt. Vespa City, likely setting up fortifications near Mt. Graxxar to push back likely attacks.
