From The TIMES, February 27, 2009:
Recently, a literal treasure trove of accounts from World War III were mysteriously found bound together on the editor's desk here at The TIMES. They include journal entries from soldiers, battlefield layouts, and many more documents considered classified only a few days ago. The U.S. Military recently announced anything pertaining to the war as fair game, and then these appeared right here in our offices. As if by magic, we are now able to do an in-depth look at the short-lived War that caused such havoc only a year ago. Please join us in an analysis of the War and several of its battles.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Fight on the Peak -
It was in this battle that war was officially declared. On an island - called 'Starfall' by locals - a warlord emerged. Malak came forward with eyes red and sailed an armada against a school of all things. The students tried their best to fight back, but they were ultimately no match against Malak. Even with their pocket monster companions, the technology Malak brought was far more advanced than any we knew to exist at the time (an assault force of sentient androids, among other things).
The force against Malak's flagship was lead by one David Drake. He and a small strike team made their way on board to search for the man who initiated the attack and any enemy intel. However, mixed signals saw an aerial attack on the ship. One of the students aboard was crushed by metal and died, while the rest of her grieving team-mates made their way to the water. Military historians compared the skirmish to Pearl Harbor, calling it a smaller version of the tragedy that sparked the U.S.'s entrance into World War II.
After the flagship's destruction, Malak called for a retreat from his hiding place. Soon, a council of students formed to discuss their next move. Drake was given a field promotion to General and put in charge of the student's military division. Several students were selected and sent to foreign countries to seek possible allies and assistance for the tiny island nation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Storied Pasts and Revelations Anew -
The newly named General vanished from the public eye soon after, caused no doubt by the lives lost in the earlier battle, and an as of yet unnamed assassin taking his left eye. An irresponsible move, leading an army with no designated leader. Thus stepped forward the students of a special training facility on-campus called the 'Aura Academy'. These talented individuals had already learned to manipulate their life forces into powerful weapons, and had helped defend the island almost a year before.
