Chapter # 10..

    The city they found, then the main group of warriors, were about ( 30 ) men, and they at that moment went down the hill, to attack the main city, but then suddenly they came across the hunters, from "Azteca" an "Atlantis" and they were about ( 8 ) men, then a small battle accured the ( 8 ) men fought bravely, and they had more advanced weapons, they killed about ( 27 ) men of the attacking force, but ( 3 ) of them got away, and no one was killed from the ( 8 ) men of "Atlantis" or "Azteca", then after the fight the men returned back to the city, they then informed "Kappa man" an "Mars", of the incident that had just accured, so "Kappa man" ordered a large security squad, of ( 100 ) men to take position at the top of the mountain, and also for ( 30 ) men to take position, to the south at about ( 2 ) mikes outside the city, and the same on the north side where they took a horse shoe shape defense, around the city of "Azteca" since they felt no one would be able to cross that defense, "Kappa Man" still didn't want to take any chances, he ordered ( 50 ) more security members to the entrance, of the bridge at the "Azteca" side, then he ordered ( 50 ) security members to protect the end of the bridge, at the "City of Atlantis" side and for the moment all they could do was to wait, for an attack since they knew that the "Mayans" fought well, against the ( 30 ) men of the hunters and they fought without fear, so "Kappa Man" knew they would come back with an unknown number of warriors, but with their advance knowledge of weapons in "Atlantis" they would be Victorious, then "Kappa Man" thought to himself of what knowledge do the "Mayan" people, really have in weapons an assualt tactics, since they knew them as their people from their past, all they could do was just wait and see, the people of "Azteca" an "Atlantis" waited an waited, but yet no attack came, ( 2 ) days went by and nothing happened, a week went by and still nothing happened, "Kappa Man" and "Mars" started to wonder, could there have been only ( 30 ) warriors from the "Mayans" attacking force, they both talked about it for some time, and they figured that they could send out a scout team, to see what the "Mayans" were doing and also to see the size of the enemy, at the same time they could see how far their city is, so he called on a young man by the name of "Mercury", to lead a scout team to check on the enemy forces, so "Mercury" showed up and said "Mercury Reporting as ordered, Sir", "Kappa man" told him "I want you to go and find the location of the "Mayan" enemy forces, and find their cities location from ours, then report back to us as soon as possible !", "Mercury" answered "You'll get an answer as soon as I locate them, I'll radio back their position", then "Mercury" left, Now "Kappa man" and "Mars" left to go to work on the water recieving area, for the north side of "Atlantis" water supply, they figured it would be at least a good ( 20 ) hours, Before they had any news from the scouts, and fixing the water trout would only take about ( 3 ) hours, and then they could stop an eat at the radio room, there they could wait for news from the scouts.


    Now "Mercury" had reached the top of the mountain, and he told the security team leader to put a stick standing straight up, so they will know from what spot they could come in from, without getting shot at as they return back to the unit, the security team leader said "that he'll go one step better, that he'll put a cloth on it so they could see it better, the cloth had on it ( 2 ) lions standing, on their hind legs facing each other, "Mercury" told him that it was a good Idea, and the ( 6 ) man team left down the mountain into the wooded area, they went along a path that lead down into a big valley, as they went down about ( 100' ) feet more, when suddenly they saw a very large "Mayan" army of about ( 10,000 ) warriors, along with all their equipment in a clearing, then "Mercury" radioed back to "Kappa man", but he didn't recieve an answer, "Mercury" tried again and still no answer, so he left the other ( 5 ) men and the radio, he told them to keep an eye on the enemy forces, and "Mercury" returned back to "Atlantis" to give "Kappa man" a report, when he got there he asked everyone where "Kappa man" was, they told "Mercury" that "Kappa man" and "Mars", were fixing the north side water trout, so he then proceeded to go in that direction, when he noticed they were coming back towards him, "Kappa man" saw "Mercury" and asked him "what are you doing back here ?, we were just heading to the radio room", "Mercury" answered "I have information on the enemy forces !", "Kappa man" replied "That was fast !", "Mars" said "Yeah, that was fast, now we know if you want something done fast, we'll call "Mercury"", "Kappa man" said "But you weren't gone not even ( 2 ) hours", "Mercury" replied "That's because they're just on the other side of the mountain, about ( 10,000 ) warriors ready to come over the mountain, and by the equipment an man power, it looks like they've done this before, so what are your orders, Sir", "Kappa man" replied "First have ( 1/2 ) of everyone in "Azteca", come across the bridge to "Atlantis" just in case, then get the bridge ready to blow it up at the "Azteca" side", "Mars" added by saying "Also tell the people of "Azteca", that they need to bring all the food they can, and all the supplies they have, just in case the stay here is a long one", "Mercury" replied "O.K !, I'll get right on it", so "Mercury" did what they told him, and the people of "Azteca" filled up the train going to "Atlantis", and all of the other people started walking across the bridge, thousands started crossing the bridge, and the train would drop people "Off" at the city of "Atlantis", then it would go back to pick up more people an supplies, at the front of the line walking towards the city, the train would make a U-turn in front of everyone, an the people would get on slowly an calmly, since they knew they were the very strongest people in the region, even thow they never had to prove it in battle, as the last of the people stepped on the bridge that was going across, the cries of battle seem to have started coming over the mountain, the "Mayan" warriors all yelled out at once, and it could be heard all the way to the Island of the city of "Atlantis", the "Mayan" warriors ran up the paths, and the other paths up the mountains, some were climbing up the side of the steep cliffs, others had gone all the way around the mountain, to the north and south sides of the cities coast lines, from those sides there was about ( 8,000 ) warriors each, for a total of ( 26,000 ) warriors all rushing in at the same time, from the north an the south end, it seems that the "Mayan" people had military style attack form, which was very unique to the people of that time period, but what no one wants to remember is that those people attacking them, are actually their descendence of the Uman people, along with the clones from their past, and these war tactics they learned were battles skills their people used, other attack forms that they didn't learn from the descendence, they probably learned over time during other battles, the "mayan" warriors first battle came shortly after their run up the path, where the ( 5 ) man scout team had taken position, as the warriors got closier they opened "Fire", from weapons that hadn't been used in over one hundred years, the ( 5 ) man scout team fired over two hundred times, before the "Mayan" warriors were close enough now to throw spears, knifes, and axes, ( 250 ) "Mayan" warriors had been killed, and ( 3 ) of the scout team had been killed, the other two ran back to where the stick with the white rag was waving, another one of the scout team took an axe in the back, the fifth took a spear, they both tried to crawl back to the opening, but the "Mayan" warriors were all over them in seconds, and they finished killing them "Off", some of the "Mayan" warriors had picked up the ( 5 ) scout team Lazer Guns, they pointed the Gun outward and shook it, but nothing happened while another was hitting it, then one "Mayan" warrior stood there and squeezed the trigger, and fired the lazer gun killing some of their own warriors, one killed himself by squeezing the trigger while the gun pointed at themself, but the "Mayan" warriors learn quickly by their mistakes, then one of their warriors got real good with the lazer gun.


    In the mean time the other "Mayan" warriors had reached the top of the mountain, the security team opened "Fire" with their long range weapon cannons, lazer blasts were everywhere an "Mayan" warriors were falling left & right, another ( 300 ) hundred "Mayans" were killed, but they were close to the top on this side of the mountain, the one "Mayan" warrior with the lazer gun took position and opened "Fire", he kept firing the lazer gun back in the direction of the security team killing one of them, with every ( 10 ) lazer blast coming in their position, by then another "Mayan" warrior had learn how to shot also, and he took position by the other "Mayan" with a gun, and he opened "Fire" now there was two "Mayans" firing back at the security teams position, and little by little they were killing more, an more men of the security team, then without warning fire rocks were being catapulted, over the mountain to hit where the security team was positioned, then fires started burning and areas were blowing black smoke, that could be seen all the way to "Atlantis", as the fires spread mainly in the direction of the security team, forcing them to retreat back down lower to the bottom of the mountain, and more toward the city of "Azteca", the "Mayans" advanced up to where the fires burned out, the security team was helpless since this was their first real battle, and they were now fighting natural elements "Fire", not human people only and they were not ready for "Fire", more fire rocks reached their new positions, the security team was now trying to hold a Defensive position, at the edge of the city of "Azteca" where there is not much burnable material, the "Mayans" were now almost all over the mountain, and half way down just behind the fire, the security team opened "fire" again, and lazer blast were everywhere, by this time ( 5 ) "Mayans" now knew how to use the Lazer Guns, they returned "fire" an by now about another ( 500 ) "Mayans" had been killed, and about ( 50 ) men of the security team had been killed too !, little by little the "Mayans" picked up more an more weapons from the dead security team members, they were now becoming a more dangerous ememy at an equal level, but yet not equal in the amount of weapons or the more sophisticated weapons, the security teams were all slowly retreating, from the edge the city of "Azteca" to the entrance of the bridge, the "Mayans" kept advancing slowly into the big city of "Azteca", fire rocks kept hitting the city more an more, alot more men of all the security teams were killed, the security teams from the mountains edge an the north side, plus the men from the south side were now reaching the foot of the bridge, the "Mayans" had made a very large advance with their warriors, but it wasn't easy since over ( 5,000 ) "Mayan" warriors were killed, an about ( 110 ) more were killed from the security teams side, yet still the fighting continued on the bridge, by now the "Mayans" warriors had taken the city of "Azteca", and the fighting was now only on the bridge, lazer fire kept going back an fourth, little by little the "Mayans" pushed the people of "Atlantis", further an further on the bridge, then the train showed up with more security team men, they took position at the the trains front as it made a U-turn, they opened fire on the "Mayans" as the security teams retreating from them, started running toward the train an finally all the security teams started boarding the train, as the train was leaving the "Mayan" warriors kept running after the train, all of the security team members that made it on the trains last carriage, started firing their lazer weapons at the "Mayan" warriors, and of course they continued to fire at the train also, the train slowed down to pick up other security team members, along the bridge that had taken position to fire on the "Mayans" to slow them down, all the security teams all made it on the train, and it started picking up speed, the "Mayans" slowly fell back as the train moved fastier an fastier, now the leader of the security team told the driver to stop ( 2 ) mikes further up, an the train driver did as he was told an stopped, the security team leader jumped off and lid the fuse that ran under the bridge, now the bridge was too blow up only the first ( 8 ) mikes, starting from the "Azteca's" end of the bridge outwards toward "Atlantis", by doing this any "Mayans" on the bridge should be killed or Badly Injured, the train driver was told to move up ( 2 1/2 ) mikes more an stop, that was where the security team had already set up another "Defensive Position", now when the bridge starts blowing up, It'll only blow up the logs in the center only, so that later they can just replace the logs, meanwhile the rest of the bridge will remain Intact, as the "Mayans" noticed that the security team had stopped ahead, they started running toward the security teams again, and the lazer blasts was everywhere going in both directions, then the bridge started blowing up from the "Azteca's" end, heading in the direction of the security team very fast, after the bridge finished blowing up the "Mayans", had only about ( 200 ) hundred of their warriors left standing there stunned, the "Mayan" leader noticed that they were cut off, and they lost many warriors, and many of their fighting warriors were still at the city of "Azteca" end, so they decided to retreat, all of the remaining living and Un-Injured warriors jumped into the water, they all started swimming back towards shore, all of the warriors that was on the section of the bridge that blew up, were not all killed by the explosions, many of them were just stunned, and that was due to the way the explosives were set to blow up, the charges were set to blow downwards mainly to snap the logs in half, and fall into the ocean, now alot of the warriors were killed an hurt in the Explosions, many drowned but yet many were not killed, when the smoke cleared there was no "Mayans" left on the bridge, the security team got back on the train and they headed back to the city of "Atlantis, they knew that they didn't Win the battle, but they didn't Lose either, after it was all over the "Mayans" had lost ( 7,570 ) warriors, the people of "Azteca" an "Atlantis", Lost about ( 195 ) of their highly trained security team.


    Now for the "Mayans" they considered this a Victory, since they now had control of the city of "Azteca", as for the people of "Atlantis" they knew that they couldn't stay on the Island forever, they would eventually out grow the Island an besides they didn't want to be Prisoners, Especially since they have another Big City on the shore Line, So the people of "Atlantis" decided that they had to Attack the "Mayans", and take control of their city of "Azteca" once again, But they knew that this time, they would have to take over as much of the planet "Earth" as possible, since other groups beyond the "Mayans" would now know about the city of "Atlantis", So they built some boats that they would be using as Assault Vessels, and they would be able to Hit the beach area, and make their Major Assault on the "Mayans", It took almost a year of planning an building, before they were ready to make their Beach Attack Assault Landing, and the Assault Attack would take ( 3 ) ships & ( 5 ) mikes to the right of the bridge, and ( 3 ) ships & ( 5 ) mikes to the left of the bridge, each ship had a crew ( 5 ) to run the ship plus ( 200 ) security team members, for a total of a ( 1,000 ) security attack force, the assault came just before Sunrise when the security team hit the beach in Darkness, and they worked their way Quietly toward the center of the city of "Azteca", Little by Little they killed alot of "Mayan" warriors with knifes along the way, so far they had killed about ( 300 ) hundred "Mayans" without making any noise, then another ( 92 ) warriors along the way with Bow & Arrows, and all this was done without firing a shot from their Lazer Weapons, the security team leader from the team coming from the south, noticed a large fleet of ships that had been built, It seems that the "Mayans" were planning a similar attack, on the Island of "Atlantis", so the team leader knew that half of her team, had to attack the ships area to either add them to their fleet, or to destroy all of those ships so they can't be used, so they made a run for the ships, and at the same time the other half of the team, ran towards the center of the city of "Azteca", Lazer Blasts started in both areas, and beams were being shot in all directions, the "Mayan" warriors defending the ships and the south end of the city, were caught by surprize by the attack, but the "Mayan" warriors defending the north end of the city, noticed the situation and they got ready for an attack, that they expected from the north an then it came, a fierce battle accured in the north side of the city of "Azteca", the "Mayan" warriors were holding their ground since they had about ( 60 ) Lazer Gun now, ( 20 ) were being used in the north, ( 15 ) were being used in the south, and ( 5 ) were being used in the center of the city, the other ( 20 ) lazer guns were taken back to the "Mayans" main city, about ( 7 ) mikes over the mountains, and these weapons were going to be used to protect them from other enemies, the fighting continued with the south side of the city collapsing, by first pushing the "Mayan" warriors into the center of the city, where the battle was still going on fierce, with the north side collapsing about ( 2 ) hours later, still the fighting continued with lazer blasts, going in every directions along with spears, knifes, and Axes. The north side fighting had reached the center of the city of "Azteca", then the "Mayan" warriors started to Retreat back over the mountain, the people of "Atlantis" had taken back the city of "Azteca", and "Kappa man" had realized that the "Mayans" had come in two fast, to conquer the city of "Azteca", and something had to be done to protect the city, from any future attacks of any enemy that might try to conquer it again, so they started to build a great big wall that went all around the mountain, the wall was about ( 30' ) feet high an ( 10' ) feet wide, with a firing station every ( 100' ) feet apart along the wall from begining to end, it was about ( 150 ) mikes long in a horse shoe shape following the mountains contour, over time they also noticed that the "Mayans" were not the only natives in the area, other war like groups attack the "Azteca" city, but none of them were as powerfull as the "Mayans" were, so they had little success in getting past the Big Wall, even the "Mayan" warriors tried again, but when they ran into the wall area they ended up loosing many warriors, so they would always return back home to the city of "Mayans", after about ( 10 ) years the people of "Atlantis" was ready to take over the world, they used their ships to take their security troops, to the shore lines ( 40 ) mikes to the north and south, and since there was no door on the Big Wall, they had to use a rope lowering system, to put their troops down over the wall, a security trooper would put ( 1' ) foot in a metal loop, an grab another metal loop and ( 3 ) people turn a big wheel with handles, and that would keep the lowering an raising going smoothly, now to go up you just got on the other side where that part went up, by sunrise the security troops had assembled outside the wall, along with all their equipment being lowered at another small lowering station.


    This was going to be "Atlantis" first battle, in which they would be making the first attack strike, and they would be the first powerfull people, to ever attack the city of "Mayans", as they approached the out skirts of the "Mayan" city, the "Atlantis" troops set up an Improved Catapult System, which had greater distants then the "Mayans", which meant that the enemy city of "Mayans" could be bombarded from a safier distant, the people of "Atlantis" has the knowledge to build more Advanced Weapons, the only problem was the lack of materials needed to make them, and if they are to survive in this Time Era, they'll have to obtain those materials from around the world, to be able to build a Bigger & Stronger Army, the people of "Atlantis" attacked the "Mayan" city, it was fairly simple an it was easier then expected, the security team had surrounded the "Mayan" city, with the security teams that came from the north and the south, the main Assualt team came from over the mountain very quickly, with their catapults an other equipment, they formed a triangle type of assault cutting of any type of escape, this method was new to the "Mayans" and it proved very successful, since it did two things in one, first the main security team sent a few men in shooting, while the catapults shot flaming rocks that hit all around the attacked city, then the other ( 2 ) security teams sent men in shooting from their position, and if they tried to get Reinforcements from their warriors at other areas, that might try to get back into the city they attacked, all the security teams had to do now was to turn around, and take position to fight off any attack from the rear, so their security teams crushed the city and defended it both at the same time, they did this same method at every city the "Atlantis" people fought at, and there were fierce battles at every attack points they stepped on, within time everyone around the world had heard of the people of "Atlantis", and there was some groups that the people of "Atlantis" hadn't fought, these group of people were more fierce fighters which would never give up, but soon enough they would battle "Atlantis" Itself, now these people were called "Vikings" an they had fought many battles, On Land and On Sea an they won these battles, they were really good in the Art of War, an what methods they used to conquer, the "Viking" people had heard of the "City of Atlantis" on an Island, and they had made plans to Destroy the warriors of "Atlantis", the "Vikings" had fought the "Mayans" an other races around the world, and they had conquered them used up all their minerials, supplies, their women and young ones, and everything they could take, then they would leave after several months of being there, and to the "Vikings" the people of "Atlantis" was going to be a challenge, now "Kappa man" and "Mars" with their skills & knowledge, had made the people of "Atlantis" well known around the World, and they had "Slaves" an young men from these Conquered groups, to do most of the regular work around the city of "Atlantis", within time some of the slaves were placed in their Armies, but "Kappa man" was concerned with one problem that him nor "Mars" could avoid, the Island was moving away from the Main Shore Line at about ( 1' ) foot a month, and this was noticed right after they had completed the Bridge, back to the shore line at the city of "Azteca", it was that they had to make many adjustments, to the bridge suspensions ropes every month, and it looked liked the sea level on the east side of the Island, was rising by ( 1' ) foot a month or the Island was sinking as it moves away from the Main Shore Line, at this rate they knew that the Island would be Underwater in ( 50 ) years, so they knew that sooner or later they would have to leave the Island, but in the mean they would continue to fight for control of the planet Earth.


    At one moment in time, the security team had gone to fight, a group of warriors to the north at about ( 300 ) mikes away, all of their ships an ( 90% ) percent of their Army went to fight the warriors to the North, ( 2 ) days after they left the "Vikings" made an attack on the Island of "Atlantis", and the "Vikings" didn't know that the Island had almost no one from the strong Army of "Atlantis", all of the remaining security team was on or near the wall at the city of "Azteca", there was only about ( 8 ) security team members on the Island of "Atlantis", all of the rest of the people were women an children, in fact ( 5 ) of the ( 8 ) security team members were sleeping, since they had the next duty shift, ( 2 ) had just got off duty from their shift an they were eating, one of the security team member was just walking on to the bridge, to catch the train so he could go on duty in the city of "Azteca", when suddenly he noticed the ships Approaching the Island, and he knew that they weren't theirs, so he radioed the security team leader at the city of "Azteca", the team leader replied and told him that they were on their way, the young man told the train driver to go back to "Azteca" as fast as he could, to pick up an bring back a full security team coming back to the Island, while he would go an hold off the enemy attack at the beach area, he then ran an took a position near the beach edge and opened fire, lazer blasts were hitting the "Viking" ships, but there was ( 20 ) ships really spread out an he was causing little damage, and only small holes had hit the ship not big enough to sink the ships, then the "Vikings" dropped a ramp at the front of their ship, and their warriors all came running down the ramp, towards the lone security team member by the beach edge, he continued to fire his lazer gun killing about ( 100 ) "Vikings", and Injuring about ( 55 ) more, but the "Vikings" over ran his position in no time, and they killed him as they made their way towards the bridge, when they got to it they started to destroy it, while the other "Vikings" took over the Island, but as the other ( 7 ) security team members came out of their sleeping & eating, they came out firing their lazer guns, but to no aviel the "Vikings" were coming in to fast from every direction, all the ( 7 ) security team members were killed, the "Vikings" had Conquered "Atlantis", and they turned the Island into theirs, the bridge had collapsed into the sea an the security team never made it in time to save "Atlantis", all the women an children were put on the "Viking" ships about ( 4 ) of them, those ships headed back to their Homeland, with their new slaves an prisoners, the other ( 16 ) ships stayed at "Atlantis" making plans to attack "Azteca", ( 2 ) weeks went by as the "Vikings" made their plans, when they noticed ( 10 ) ships approaching the horizon, the ( 16 ) "Viking" ships set sail to Intercept the ( 10 ) ships, those ships were the security teams that had gone to fight, an conquer the enemy warriors to the north, yet they were about to encounter a new battle with a new enemy, the ships were ( 180' ) feet away from each other, when suddenly the "Vikings" started shooting fire rocks, from catapults already mounted on their ships, the ships of the security teams caught fire quickly, the security teams were helpless again as their ships were on fire, they did however continued to fire their lazer guns, until they were forced to jump into the sea, the security teams ships were sinking and their first sea battle had come to an end, but they still continued firing their lazer guns from the water, but the "Vikings" were a Ruthless an dangerous people, who ever lived on the planet Earth in that time period, they normally never leave any male survivors young or old, for the reason is that they could always come back to fight them again, so the "Vikings" don't ever take that chance.


    The "Vikings" turned their ships around, and they threw spears at the survivors in the water, "Kappa man" was Killed, but "Mars" an the others made it to the "Azteca" shore line, the "Vikings" lost ( 3 ) ships during that battle, and about ( 400 ) "Viking" warriors were killed, but to the "Vikings" that was normal to them, in all battles where the "Vikings" battles they loose alot of warriors and a few ships, they mainly loose their ships because they use them, to Ram into their enemies ships when they make their Attack, when they do this process the ships get stuck together, and both ships sink together shortly after they get rammed, but with all the lazer blast from the "Atlantis" security team, the "Vikings" headed back to their Homeland with ( 10 ) heavily damaged ships, the "Vikings" knew that those ( 10 ) ships wouldn't make it Home, so most of the men transfered to the other ships, then the ( 10 ) ships headed back towards the Island of "Atlantis", and once they made it to "Atlantis" those ships would end up staying there forever, to sink along with the Island of "Atlantis", the "Vikings" now had only ( 6 ) ships left, but they also left over ( 5,000 ) warriors stay on the Island of "Atlantis", and yet they never attacked the city of "Azteca", In fact they never heard from them again, and the people of "Atlantis" in the city of "Azteca", also never tried to take back the Island of "Atlantis", since "Mars" knew that the Island was going to sink, Instead he had a wall built along the shore line, to defend themself against a sea attack, they built an put catapults to shoot fire rocks at any ship approaching, and that was if it ever happened, but year after year went by an the Island was less and less Visible, after ( 50 ) years had passed the Island was gone, the "Vikings" had returned to their Homeland, always thinking that they had destroyed the Mighty Army of "Atlantis", but little did they know, was that they never really fought the people of "Atlantis", since about ( 80% ) percent of their people were still in the city of "Azteca", and of all the cities they had conquered, the people of "Atlantis" still had control of them all, they had conquered every little people who believed, that the "Vikings" had conquered the people & the city of "Atlantis", the city of "Atlantis" was gone, mainly because the "Titanic Plates" had moved in a downward slope, taking the Island underwater as it slipped away from the main land, and deeper & deeper the Island went until it sank, little by little "Mars" an the rest of the people of "Atlantis", kept their empire going for over ( 1,000 ) years, and as they spread out all over the whole world, the word that there was a city of "Atlantis" somewhere kept going on, yet due to climate changes food crops & water areas were going dry. So the people abandoned the city of "Azteca", and the people moved on to create other cities further Inland, and the "Mayan" city was almost Identical to "Azteca" & "Atlantis", which the scouts had reported to "Mars" as they kept Inland, but still with the planet changes they went more Inward and North, other Umans that were desendance of the "Settlement-One", they had built other cities on the other Continents, like the city of "Babylon" and "Sodom & Gamora", which they became well known, an very rich Empires, but they Too had ( 3 ) fierce battles of their own.
