All is quiet within the Life Sphere, and that also means all is not well. The Life Sphere is a constant busy and bustling place, but today, it is very silent and somber. A darkness falls across the land, casting a shadow so large and so black that it would cause any heart beat to stop, and a terror to shake throughout one's system. The time has finally come for the Life Sphere to go to war....not with the Infected...but with eachother. Everyone has a different vision on how to keep the Life Sphere safe, and how to empower the good citizens of such a place to take a side and believe in one or the other. The side of Bowser, the King of the Koopas ever stalwart in strength in numbers with an army of Koopas and Mushroom Kingdom baddies at his side to achieve victory and take the Life Sphere by storm with a promise of stronger offensive capabilities against the Infected. There is King K. Rool, the witty and sly reptilian genius with a promise of a great lizard army and abundant resources, and finally, there is Dr. Eggman, who is currently equipped with the best technology anyone can muster on the wasteland planet of Li thanks to E. Gadd giving his endorsement and handing Eggman the keys to the Life Sphere's armory to win this war, not to mention Eggman has the most people allied to his team over the others, and some massive fire power. If he wins this war, he promises reinforced defensive capabilities for the Life Sphere to drive all Infected away...for good?

These are the grand citizens of the Life Sphere that have grown tired of waiting for Sonic, Mario, and Samus to take the reigns and do something about the Infected, so now they take action with their own armies and own ambitions to see to it that everyone is safe one way or the other. With Samus still missing, Mario and Sonic beyond exhausted and emotionally drained, and the police force of the Life Sphere afraid of the whole situation, as is everyone else, it seems the gang wars cannot be stopped, and must go under way. With the streets emptied, the apartments locked down, and Life Sphere on double emergency protection override duties, the entire city has been reinforced for war, and now....it is their playground. Let us check in on our valiant leaders of the night, shall we?

"Friends, minions...LOVED ones. All citizens of the Life Sphere alike, the time has come! You've all been warned of the violence ahead, and now, we act upon it! My army of loyal followers, and myself, can reassure you all everything will be just fine!"

Eggman is speaking over a loud electronic mega phone while stationed inside of a giant E.G.G. battle mech. The mega phone is attached to a compartment within the shoulder of the machine and Eggman is on a sound wave that everybody can easily hear through their reinforced doors and the locked down Apartment Complex. Below Eggman and his giant robot lie his army, a large army of Smash Brothers dedicated to his cause to win this war and increase the defense system of the Life Sphere with his technical prowess and brains. He seemed to have convinced quite a few with his good intentions...if you can really call them good.

"I have said it time and time again, and I shall say it once more! I am not your enemy! I am your best chance at survival in this wretched place. And the sooner I can take the burden of running such a complicated encampment off your hands, and win this war, the sooner we can all breathe a little easier knowing we can survive another day! And another day....and another day...AND ANOTHER DAY! HAHAHA! I aim to please everyone!"

Eggman gets an explosion of cheers for his encouraging words.

"E. Gadd has graciously donated the Life Sphere's greatest weapons in our fight this night, and it will be a fight that will forever be remembered in the annals of time as the night the Life Sphere made history in saving the lives of thousands by being the most powerful and most safest place.....IN THE ENTIRE GALAXY! HAHAH!"

Many may think Eggman sounded crazy, but he was really sounding sincere and it was working to make everyone believe in him and his plans for a better Life Sphere and a brighter future.

"So now my beautiful army, you have all received your instruction via personal communication, so let us go, and CONQUER!"

Eggman raises a fist of his mighty mech into the air and stomps off towards the Black Market in a cruel motion with a small army of his robot servants and a few Smash Brothers following behind.

--Location--BLCK MRKT, UNDRGRND

"No more eating rotten banana peels, orange skins, and other garbage! We are the Kremling race! All those years being foiled by Donkey Kong, for what!?! To end up fodder to an senile old egg shaped man and a distant cousin to the reptiles in an overgrown turtle who also DARES call himself a King!?! No! We are survivors, we are smarter than any of them combined. That is why we strike tonight, and we do it discretely. We know the underground network of the Life Sphere inside and out, so we will attack from the sewers and hit them where it hurts!"

King K. Rool is addressing his army in a banquet style setting around a massive wooden table lit by torches just underneath the streets of the Black Market. Him and his army are enjoying a banquet style feast of the ages before going out to battle and try to win the war. There are turkey legs, endless bananas, chicken wings, bat wings, crow's feet, potato chips, PB and J sandwiches, crackers, cheeses, wines, soda pops, everything to fill a stomach up and make one rejuvenated for battle. King K. Rool was always resourceful naturally, and he anticipates a win in this war so that him and his reptilian friends, as well as the rest of the Life Sphere, won't have to keep doing so many missions for resources and food because King K. Rool's specialized group of minions and connections beyond the Life Sphere have the ability and know how to scout for much needed resources in the least amount of time, this is through years of practice and training in the arts of discretion. After always having to hide from Donkey Kong in caverns and hills, K. Rool has grown and learned to be sneaky and careful in any thievery or mischief that he gets into, as has his colleagues. Nobody can deny the impressive skills of the Kremling King and his minions.

"Bowser and Eggman will never want to mess with us any longer when we surprise them with our savvy tactic! They will bow to us, and the Life Sphere will never run out of food or delicious refreshments and much needed items of support ever again! When we win, everybody in this god forsaken bubble of a place will be thanking us for our generosity and incredible leadership skills. We will show them all, that K. Rool and company, are the right choice to run the city!"

Everybody in the dimly lit banquet room raise their mugs and half full glasses to the true king and his words with a hearty jeer.

"After our grub, we embark through the tunnels underneath this wasteland haven and assault our enemies where they are most vulnerable. They won't ever see us coming, and we will be done with this petty war in no time at all. FOR VICTORY!"

King K. Rool gets another uproar of jeering from his colleagues expressing their endless support, and pledging their lives to K. Rool for the win.

"BRUHAHA! Ransacking this place and getting everything we possibly can for ammo and food may not be the nicest thing ever to do, but we got no other choice. Those fools swear up and down they are gonna win this war, well Petey....friends....I say we prove em wrong!"

Bowser stares at Petey Pirahna whom is presently scarfing down a bag of churros he pillaged from one of the Busy Bee Lobby cafeteria stands. Petey is seen silently agreeing with Bowser as he continues his small meal. In the background we see dozens of Koopa Troopas and Goombas rummaging through the place finding anything valuable for the upcoming battle along with some Koopalings and Lakitus stashing some diffused Bob-ombs inside of a brown bag to pack for later. It was a scene of chaos as the place was simply torn apart. But since everyone was safely locking themselves in their homes and staying completely away from the battle, it was more than fair game. Bowser needed to keep his strength up, as did the rest of his army, and to do that it required alot of resources and alot of food. He would do whatever it took to ensure victory in the best way possible. One of those ways was being prepared and healthy.

"I swear to you all now my soldiers of the Mushroom, we will make our foes tremble with fear and watch as they bleed from their insides out of every one of their pores by our talons! These Infected pests always giving the Life Sphere trouble have been around long enough. We are going to slaughter them all and improve the numbers of the Life Sphere and strengthen our weapons and ammunition to take them out more efficiently in the field of battle. Nobody can stop us, for our goals contain power, and behind that power is determination, and behind that determination, IS MOOOORE POWERRR!!! GROOOAR!"

Bowser shoots out a plume of fire in a big circle all across the area lighting some of his Goombas on fire and a few pieces of furniture on fire as well. He grunts stopping his flamethrower after a moment of anger.

"The rival gangs will be demolished by pure strength alone and the fire underneath our bellies! We will burn them to dust and ensure every challenger is dealt with so that they know who the most powerful of all time is! And that is your king, KING KOOPAAAAAA!!!!!!"

Bowser roars loudly and he receives a unison of fellow roars as well from most of his army. The Busy Bee Lobby is in shambles now, and practically almost everything is on fire. Somebody is gonna have to put those flames out after this is all over!

"Come, my little warriors, and FIGHT!"

Bowser gets more roars and sounds of support from his army as him and Petey rush out the front doors of the tarnished Busy Bee Lobby to begin charging their enemy head on.

Please remember this is both an NPC and PVP based site wide event battle. Players are expected to be defeated in battle at some points and there will be people monitoring PVP battle posts, but no refs per say. Rolling is required. High rolls warrant better success for your gang. Everybody has a specific sub mission they are a part of, and those missions will all ultimately LEAD to one big finale mission, so be prepared for that and ACTIVELY post. For this is a big event, we don't want to be waiting around and we will skip your turn after no later than 4 days of not posting in these wars to keep the story moving.

If you have not signed up and wish to join in on the wars later on, please PM either me, WolfEx or Coolshaymin and we will try and fit you in.

And for the first time in a long time...you are REQUIRED to place your health percentage at the end of every post.
