The New World

The news popped on every radio station, a bright eyed, red haired Englishman with very bad teeth came on and cleared his throat. This is James Edith of KWN news. He has a look of sadness in his eyes and began to speak again, We have some very sad news today I am afraid, we have just received word that a giant tidal wave caused by an earth quake in the middle of the Pacific Ocean has ravaged the eastern coast of Japan. he said. He looked down at his paper and spoke again, We have been told that almost all of Japans population has been whipped out, this is all we know of this matter at the time but we have some more bad news. He coughed into his hand and cleared his throat then read aloud from the paper once again, As you all know, The Deutsch Federation (Germany) was conquered by the New Roman Empire 3 months ago, we have been told that the president of France has surrendered to the New Roman Empire.
Abernathy turned off the radio and walked out the front door of his flat, slamming the door behind him and locking the deadbolt, he rushed down the rusty red metal stairs and pushed open the big green tinted glass door. Meanwhile on the other side of town Hideko Toyama a visiting tourist from Japan jumped of the little stairs on the side of the gigantic black steam train he just road from Scotland. He walked out the front of the train station and walked down the street, as he passed a bar he heard the radio inside say something a tidal wave hitting Japan so he rushed inside to hear the whole story. Hideko listened for the radio to repeat it and when he heard it he collapsed to the ground sobbing.
Abernathy was on the corner of 57th street, he stopped to catch his breath for a minute and then he started running again. A couple minutes later he was at his destination, The Queens Royal Navy #11 Airbase. He scurried in through the front gate and up the marble stairs into the lobby, as he strode up to the receptionist he proclaimed Abernathy Knowles reporting for duty, maam.
Right oh sir, you are at dock 7B sir. replied the receptionist as Abernathy walked out the door on his right and walked across the tarmac towards hanger 7B, as he walked toward the hanger he thought about how France has surrendered and how surely his mates and him would be off flying fighter planes and shooting off muskets soon.
Abernathy walked through the vast doorway of the hanger and he spotted his old friend Harold Pickett, the esteemed inventor that had invented the quick loader for the musket and was rumored to be developing a new type of propulsion system for the royal navys planes. He walked over to Harold and shouted, Oi Mate, ow ya bin?
Harold spun around and embraced Abernathy in a great hug. Wotcher Abe, I bin fine mate. He exclaimed. Abernathy and Harold discussed what they had been doing lately in life, as Harold got into telling Abernathy about a new gun he called a laser the alarms started going of and smooth cool voice spoke on the PA system, Our Queen Elizabeth III of the United Democratic Monarchy of Britannia (England) has responded to the Roman invasion of Southern England by declaring war on the New Roman Empire, all units are to suit up and prepare for departure. Abernathy ran over to the lockers and slipped on his uniform, he took a cigarette out of his left pocket on his flak jacket and lit it with a match. Abernathy inhaled the smoke of the cigarette as he walked over to the small elevator laced with gold and jewels across the room. He walked into the elevator and pressed the up button and it rose up toward the skyship Erasmus IV.
Hideko got up out of his seat in the bar after drinking a bottle of nice smooth Scotch. He walked out the front door and walked to the apartment building across the street and went up the fire escape ladder to the roof, he stood on the edge and teetered back and forth. Hideko takes out a small dagger and thinks about how his family had died in the tidal wave and how he had nothing left. He used the ancient Japanese tradition of Seppaku, he jabs the dagger into his stomach and falls off the edge of the building.
The skyship Erasmus IV slugged out of the hanger bay doors and climbed vertically up into the air, it was truly a beautiful site. The giant gold encrusted ship rose so beautifully, the cannons glimmered in the sunlight. Abernathy walked into the lower deck and started to prepare his place for battle, loading the small metal balls into the minigun that Harold had added to his plane and filling the tank with enough water to power the steam engine.
Abernathy climbed the stairs to the top deck and looked down, they had just left London and he was looking at the beautiful designs that farm made when you look down at them from above. The two fleets neared each other and prepared for battle. Abernathy jumped in his plane and the lower deck rose up to the top, they started their planes and started to move down the runway, slowly climbing further and further into the air toward the Roman fleet. Hot lead balls flew from Abernathys plane toward the Roman Skyship as he neared it, he passed over the ship and dropped a stick of dynamite out the window and circled around and fired at the planes rising to the deck, he dropped another stick of dynamite out of his window onto the deck.
The Roman planes took of and headed toward the British fleet only to be greeted by thousands of musket balls from the soldiers standing on the deck. A little under half of what was left of the Roman planes either caught fire from the bullets hitting the engine and went down or just went down because the pilot was shot. The rest of the remaining Roman planes shot through the wall of soldiers and dropped a few sticks of dynamites, but as the Roman planes circled around to fire again they were once again greeted by balls of hot lead, but this time it was the whole British fleet firing at them, 2 other British airships had just arrived and the planes took of from them immediately to attack. The Romans were severely outnumbered now and they were getting beaten badly.
Abernathy and his squad continually pelted the Roman ships till finally they broke through to the engine room with dynamite and destroyed it. The Roman ship burst into flames and slowly fell out of the sky. The Romans had lost over 5,000 men in that battle and they saw the true power of the English Navy. The Romans promptly signed a peace treaty with the United Democratic Monarchy of Britannia.
Abernathy revived a medal of Valor that day for what he did on the battlefield, a few months after he was released from duty and moved into a quaint little cottage at the edge of Yorkshire and lived happily ever after.
