A tall woman with dark, almost black hair and cool green eyes strolled through the halls, heading towards the Queen's meeting room. She nodded curtly to a couple of new recruits that passed her and they nearly hit themselves in the face in their hurry to salute her properly. She smirked to herself in amusement. General Hannah Calder, second-in-command to the Queen, stopped outside the doors to the meeting chamber. She was currently in the middle of a meeting with some other important people, she didn't remember where from though. A patrolling guard with a long white tail passed her, throwing a salute as she did the same. Her thoughts turned back to the Queen as she waited. She had known Queen Eliza for a very long time. In fact, they had been in school together and been the best of friends at Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters.

"Hannah it's nice to see you," Eliza said looking out the window, still as beautifulas when Hannah and her had meet,she could thank her healing factor for that, "I suppose that you heard of the attacks by Apocolypse's force's this morning?" she said completely throwing off the other people in the room including her husband the King, telepathic powers would do that to a person.

Hannah smirked. She was used to Eliza using her telepathic powers by now. She sent back a telepathic message. 'Of course. That's why I came here. Shall I come in?' She asked, still waiting outside the doors. Her two sharp white canines glittered in the light. Hannah could only imagine the confused looks on everyone elses face as the Queen spoke seemingly to no one.

"Yes come on in we were just discussing plans for the war, and it would be pointless without you," Eliza said turning away from the window feeling pained from the far off smoke from the part of the city that Apocolypse had destoryed. She placed her hand on her stomach and waited for her general.

Hannah entered the room immediately, being sure to close the doors behind her. She strode over so that she was beside her Queen, standing at the military "at ease" stance. Her dark eyes swiftly took in the occupants of the room before turning her attention back to the Queen.

"How was it this morning, I heard that Apocolypse got mostof your forces," Eliza said finally dropping the mighty Queen voice and looking at Hannah with concern, "God, Iwish could be out there," she said darkly feeling the baby kick her stomach, "It just isn't right."

"We lost the entire Omega Unit, and both the Beta Unit and the Gamma Unit had about two-hundred casualties combined." Hannah said, her voice conveying next to none emotion. One of her favorite Lieutenants had died. Lieutenant Marcus Zeger. He had been a rather brilliant strategist.

"Damn, I bet Ms M was part of that slaughter," Eliza said her eyes narrowing and she turned away brushing away the King's hand to comfort her, "If only the old X-Men were here we could beat him." she said looking out the window again.

"I have no doubt that we could if we had them here." Hannah said. "However, we need to strategize. We have no way of knowing when or where they will attack next and my forces can not afford another loss like today." Her eyes were watching the Queen closely.

"Right," Eliza said turning her back to the window, "We've had word that Apocolypse is going to mve his forces towards the Western district to cut off our supplies, but if we cut him off halfway we might be able to take down most of his forces," Eliza said closing here eyes for a moment to chase away her dizziness. The King got upand help her to her chair and Eliza's eyes opened again, "I'm thinking that if we take Echo and Foxtrot divisions out and use them for a distraction we can set up a barrier with Golf and Hotel."

Hannah nodded. "Of course, m'lady. I'll contact Lieutenant Alexander and Lieutenant McClay right away and give them the order. Which units do you want to attack Apocalypse's forces?" She inquired.

"I'm going to call an old friend, she's has a small force of her own, not to mention a few other worldy powers tahtcould help us. You remember Weaver? She owes me a favor, and I need her help more then ever now," Eliza said tiredly.

"Yes, my Queen." Hannah bowed, gave everyone else in the room a slight curteous nod and started to leave the room, thinking Eliza need nothing else from her.

"Hannah, she'll be arriving, right now," Eliza said as a large silver door suddenly appeared out of nowhere and a woman in a revealing robe stepped out, her long blond hair hung freely as she door disapeered leaving her only with a staff that resembled a giant key.
"Eliza," she said her purple eyes glowing, "Hannah, it's been a long time."

"Nice to see you as well, Weaver." Hannah said, "Always one for grand entrances, are you not?" She smirked slightly. The General turned back to face her Queen, not knowing whether she was still needed or not.

"Hannah you're my most trusted General but this is a time we need the most help Iris will be helping you in the battle field," Eliza said looking fondly at her own battle armor, "You two will work as one."
"It's hard to travel in these times," Weaver said bowing to Eliza, "Perhaps Hannah if you look down at the courtyard you shall see the foces I brought."

Hannah glanced over at Eliza before heading to examine the forces Iris had brought with her. After taking in the scene below she turned back to Weaver. "Never disappoint anyone, do you Weaver?" Of course, being who she was, Hannah was rather reluctant to work with anyone when it concerned her soldiers.

"What can I say if you're consitered a god in magical world it's easy to pick up many magical creatures," Weaver shrugged looking down at her forces, "Archer elves, trolls, giants, I think there are even a few hobbit-like beings down there."

Klassic had been in the field for many years now, time had changed him, it was no longer about battles of riches or who would pay the most, it was about survival. Now battles were fought and won over attrition and that had always been Klassic's strong suit. He had never quite understood what had brought about this world, but he survived in it, even thrived.
klassic approaced Eliza on the battlements, "my lady, the preperations have mostly been completed, I would suggest we move out as soon as possible." Klassic bowed deeply as he moved away, he never had like intruding on people, but it was his duty to inform his comander of the progress below.
