American Empire - Prologue
As I wait for the Emperor to come in and talk about his next move I might as well tell you the truth of our world. My name is Aaron Varus; I'm a human and a Captain of the American Empire and I have a short story to tell you as I wait. This isn't a story for the light hearted, so if blood, guts, and torture make you sick then go no farther. 20 years ago, humans were still in control of America and still had full control of the military and government. They didn't allow anthros into either the military or the government. We tried to trick and kill all the anthros in a requested gathering high up in different places in the Rocky Mountains, my people said it was surprise, heh dam they weren't kidding, but the thing is, we were the ones who were surprised. You see once the anthros got there, some sensed something was wrong from the start, so they looked around a bit, saw human soldiers walking around and followed them to a very large camp where we were preparing for something big. They said at the time that we had enough weapons and soldiers for an invasion. Some anthros were spotted, but we paid no attention to them, we thought they were too stupid to put 2 and 2 together. Many anthros went back and told the others, upon hearing this news unrest formed in their hearts, so they got all the weapons they could to use against us, the anthros ambushed us, and defeated us that very night. As a punishment, all humans were deported out of the USA and sent to any country of our choosing. 75% went to either Mexico or Canada; the other 25% went to other continents not wanting to be involved with such a huge mess. After all of my people were deported they immediately established and rooted themselves into the military and government of both Canada and Mexico. They knew that brute force wasn't going to work, so once they had enough support and power they created a coup and took control of both governments only 5 years after all of us were deported. Once they had full control they executed all anthros secretly in small amounts and wiped them out in 5 years time. None of the anthros ever figured it out. While this was going on, the north took Greenland and Iceland and integrated both countries into the Canadian Empire. At the same time in the south; Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama were integrated into the Mexican Empire. After the hostile takeover of Central America and half of North America they both united under one banner, one flag, one nation, the American Empire. Once an Emperor was placed into power the economic situation plummeted into the abyss, inflation was so high that only the rich could afford bread, but eventually the rich themselves couldn't afford to live the way they did, so they had to give up their big estates to the government and find a more affordable place to live. This was done deliberately, so eventually the only thing the people had left to turn to was the military. The unemployment rate went from 40% to 1% in a few years (not including infants). Once a person could walk they were immediately put into the service, obviously they didn't put toddlers through boot camp, so they taught them to hate the anthros and respect the Empire with the upmost respect. In simple terms they brainwashed them, they did this so they would believe things that weren't true, so it would be easier to train them. It didn't matter if they were male or female though, there would still be an available job waiting for them, so they could serve their country. This was all done on purpose to force us to do anything the Emperor said and it almost worked. My father could see through the Emperor's lies and rebelled against him with his own coup, unfortunately though he and the others were caught and executed before they could do any real damage or so they thought. What they didn't know was that my father taught me everything he knew, he told me everything that I'm telling you know and more. I'm going to put that information to good use don't worry because I have a plan too. Anyway 10 years after the deportation the USA started to allow humans back into the country, but they only allowed us to have jobs with no authority; this meant no military or government jobs at all. The Emperor was the only person that would allow any humans to enter the US and when he did, he had jobs for them like spying on the enemy or scouting the area for weaknesses. However all humans were watched from both sides with great care to make sure they didn't try to betray one another, but none have, yet. That's what has happened so far; now I have to put my plans into action and I have to do this all at the right times.
Present Day, 10 years later (20 years' total)
In the palace inside the grand meeting room, the Emperors advisors, generals, and others that were invited by the generals were sitting down or standing against the wall waiting for Emperor Eric to come in and explain what his next move would be. My thoughts were interrupted once the Emperor walked in wearing what looked like a NAZI uniform at first glance. Everyone stood up and was about to salute him when they took one look at him and gasped, they had looks of disgust plastered all over their faces.
The Emperor smiled waving his hands "gentlemen please...I assure you this is not what it looks like." He points to his cloth flag armband "I have made one change to our flag, instead of having 50 stars in the blue square I put and human hand indicating that humans are in charge and we will not accept any anthros period. As for the uniform, well come on the Nazis did have the best looking uniform, I mean they were horrible pieces of shit for doing what they did, but their uniforms were bad ass, they did know how to die in style." He tugs on the shoulder of his uniform "this will now be what every officer wears at all times unless they are deployed into battle. Regular soldiers will wear trench coats when on guard duty, but in combat will wear our dark regular battle gear. When they are not on duty they will wear their standard uniforms unless I say otherwise... Now once you all get back to your manors there will be uniforms waiting for you, so you will change immediately once you get back to your estates." Everyone nods and says "yes Emperor."
He walks around the table and talks at the same time "good, now let's move on to why I really gathered you here, as you know the anthros have taken everything away from us...they need to be punished...and now that I have 20 million soldiers and plenty of armored vehicles at my disposal..." He stops at the front of the table, narrows his eyes, and looks deeply into everyone else's eyes "the United States will not be able to fend off an attack of this size..." He raises his index finger and shacks it while saying "now I have prepared a very detailed plan on what will be done to destroy those retched bastards that dare to call themselves Americans...but before I begin...are there any questions."
I raise my hand in the back.
The Emperor squints his eyes tiring to figure out who I am "who are you?"
I walk forward from the shadows in the back "I am Captain Aaron Varus and I have a question Emperor?"
He raises a brow in annoyance "go on...Captain."
Varus looks him straight in the eyes "if we attack the USA with everything we have won't the rest of the world retaliate?" The Emperor smiles "That's a good point, but I have taken care of all that, here let me show you my plans for taking care of the rest of the world."
Well that's just the prologue, hehe I can't wait to show you what the Emperor's plans are. For those of you who don't know me I'm Vien and I will be writing some of the stories and my friend Shadow_Claw was generous enough to let me help him (he was stuck) ; ). Anyway we are both taking credit for the story and the story is both ours. I hope you all like it. I edited the story, so if you read it again and it doesn't sound the same that's why. {Shadow_Claw- And I edited the story so if there is something wrong with spelling or grammar take that up with me.} As for the blood, guts and torture warning, that's just telling you what's to come ahead.
