Beldr stands ready outside the towering temple looking upon his troops. Waiting for the command he notices the sounds of the tropical jungle begin to silence. He walks towards his general immediately. "Permission to speak sir," "Report." "General, I've noticed that the jungle went quiet," Beldr said. "I'm thinking some holies might've caught on." The general looked to the sky as the jungle shook with a sudden gust. Over the horizon of exotic trees the figure of an airship appeared, heading toward the plain they now resided in.
The troops begin to run towards the temple waiting for their General's response. "Hold men, it seems we have some company. Heavies assess its position! Maybe we can bring it down before it lands!
The squad of heavy infantry grunted in glee at the opportunity to blow something up. The scraggly demons lugged around huge Laser Cannons; hoisting them onto their shoulder, the gunners took aim and fired a volley of bolts at the incoming ship.
(Angels, your turn)

The deck was still as the ship approached the designated position. Everyone was in anticipation for the mission: the Demons were on their way to try and obtain another of Exilus' artifacts of power. It was this ship's job to stop them.
Leinosus, the Captain of the small transport ship, the St. Basandre, headed along the deck, past the tech's to the pilot's cabin. The pilot, a human that Leinosus hadn't taken time to learn the name of, greeted him with a salute.
"Captain. ETA 2 minutes. We're approaching fast... no sign they've caught on." As the pilot spoke, the plain they were headed for became seen in the distance.
"Slow down..." Leinosus advised the pilot. "No chance these Demon's will play fair. Be prepared to drop with fire on us."
The pilot looked at the Captain nervously, but didn't dare to question him. In 30 seconds they would be nearly on top of them...
Leinosus headed back swiftly to the back end, throwing open the exit hatch and jumping out, wings of luminecent Aura sprouting from his back and carrying him to ground. A small squad followed in a similar manner.
The St. Basandre heads down, but takes a good amount of fire from the Cannons. As the ship crashes, the troops begin to leave seeming mostly unharmed. They immediately engage the Demon's forces, followed by Leinosus' Holy Guard behind.
(sorry it took so long everyone! Now you're free to post.)

Stratus grunted in dissatisfaction as he heard the airships of the Angelic faction pass overhead the jungle canopy. He knew his team wouldn't make it to the temple before they did. "Sir!" a lowly member of his infantry spoke and saluted. "What is it?" Stratus replied, in his usual cold, calculating way "According to some of our scouts, there are some Demons on the outward plain. We think they intend to obtain the artifact!" "Damn", Stratus simply replied. He thought for a moment, then looked back to the soldier. "We can't fight them head on," Stratus said to the soldier. "We are going to flank around the field if possible. Take half the infantry and scouts and head towards the East, The rest of the platoon and I will flank to the West." "Yes Sir!" The Soldier replied as he rushed off into the thick of the jungle. "Alpha team, we're heading west" Stratus commanded over the com-link. "Rodger" "Gamma team, You head East" "Rodger that, sir" Stratus sighed once more as he rushed off into the jungle brush.

"I knew they would be desecrating them temple sooner or later." replied Remasis, having just heard the air battle. "WE MUST CHARGE IN AND PROTECT THE SACRED LAND!!!" he yells, pumping up his troops for battle. He charges out of his camp ,only a few hundred meters from the temple, and makes it to the fray of the battle in just a few minutes. He and his troops quickly start trying to overload the laser cannons that could tear through them in mear seconds.

Being nothing more than a knight hired as a mercenary by the Angels, Mordecai picks himself up from some of the ships rubble and begins traveling towards his point of interest... To Defend the artifact before the Demon's could get their hands on it.. Without a second thought he charges head first into the onslaught, releases a menacing battle cry and prepares himself for battle, with shield raised and sword drawn. Attachments:

As the Angels come pouring out of the ship that crash landed the General shouts:"Hold your positions! We must retrieve this artifact. Beldr, I want you to be on top of the team that retrieves that artifact! I know you will not fail."
"Yes, Sir" Beldr says as he slowly walks away. He then goes into a sprint towards a small retrieval team while the others around them are trying to keep the Angels at bay. He meets his team and without exchanging words they know what must be done. They bolt as fast as they can toward the Temple door, losing one of their members to being shot down along the way the make it and begin to unseal the magic that holds the door shut.
The Demons laser cannons explode from electrical aura shot from the shamans' staffs. The rest of the demon troops look towards the Jungle and then meet the Primordials in battle.

As the battle raged on, Mordecai notices a small squadron of Demon's heading into battle with a group of Primordials. Alone and utterly out numbered... the Necro-Knight realized his only choice was to reanimate the countless dead bodies that scattered the entirety of the battle-field.....

"WE MUST DEFEND THE TEMPLE" yells Remisis. The troops quickly try to maneuver them selves around the demons trying to lure them out of the temple into the surrounding area.

(Jordan- I'm going to resolve you real quick, tho Bump would usually since u attacked his troops.)
The Necro-knight charges into battle, shield high and mighty sword in hand. As he entered the fray among the demons and angels, he begins to deftly dent the demons forces without sustaining even minor injury.
***
The troops that had crash-landed quickly engage the demons, flashes of light and darkness erupted as the field turned into a veritable warzone.
Leinosus watched just on the edge of the clearing, seeing the skirmish erupt before him. His brow tensed.
Then he saw a rather strange sight. A black-armored knight walked among his troops. But wait, he wasn't slaughtering them? That guy is on our side? Then he remembered. A mercenary was with them on the ship, but he never got a good look at him. Though the knight was doing wonders for the Angels defenses, they seemed to be struggling.
One of the Holy Guard called to Leinosus.
"What?" He said, almost startled. He had been lost in thought.
"Primordials, sir, approaching from the far end!"
Leinosus turned back to the battlefield to see the Demons' Cannon's exploding.
"Hell! I guess that saves us the trouble. But this does add an unexpected element to the mission..."
He decided to ignore the Primordials and headed to assist the troops and the mercenary. As the Holy Guard glides into battle, Leinosus' Plasma-edged Broadsword comes straight down into a demon's helmet. One down..

(Jordan, this is for your spell, sorry haha)
(The spell must charge because it is so powerful, but it activates, reanimating a handful of undead around you)

Remisis quickly realizes what he has to do in the midst of the battle. He must go in and defend the temple from within. He quickly commands 3 other soilders to advance with him. Staff in hand he charges in and quickly tries to clear a path to the entrance.

As Stratus' troops are making an attempt to flank around the battle field, him and his half of the platoon are soon met by a large amount of Angelics. "Hmmm. Perhaps this may be in our favor..." Stratus thought to himself.
Stratus spots an Angelic who seems to be of a decent rank nearby. "Angelic!" Stratus yelled out.
(At this point, Stratus is going to ask the angelic of he could be taken to a higher ranking officer to negotiate a short-time alignment with one another. To be determined by the Admin.)

Surrounded by his contingent of Undead Soldiers, Mordecai quickly rushes in the direction of the smaller Demon squadron. Planning to trap them in between his small group and the Primordials... Once again, he raises both sword and shield, and prepares himself for the impending onslaught that is about to unfold.

Beldr and his group succeeded in their attempt to open the seal and then the door swings open. The group begins to walk in but, is stopped by Primordials who engage them in combat. While they fought a few Primordial troops cut through, led by Remisis. The group enters the temple with a few demons on their tail, but the rest are held by the Primordials outside.
The General overlooks the battle noticing a black armored knight who is reanimating the dead. He looks towards three of his best troops next to him "Kill that Knight!" He then shouts to the rest of the battlefield: "Focus your attention towards those Primordials their to close to the Temple!"
The three men then begin rushing towards the Knight and try to kill his fellow men who guard him, while the others focus their attention to the Angels and Primordials.

As Leinosus dislodges himself from the thick of combat, he regroups with most of his Holy Guard intact, one casualty and one wounded. Damn Demons. He would receive a good ceremony upon returning home.
The main skirmish has mostly ended in favor of the fight in front of the Temple; another Angel transport lands nearby and releases reinforcements, while dark portals rip into existence on the opposite side, doing the same for the demons.
Calculating, Leinosus hears a shout behind him.
"Huh?" He mutters, as he turns around, sword drawn.
It is Stratus and his squad: they explain to him the situation and suggest a temporary truce.
"I will not stop you from aiding us in combat, Fabrilian. But we must be the ones to have the artifact in the end. I will accept your truce and my men will fight along side you, if you agree to relinquish the Orb of Sylmier."
(and now you respond haha. Not that I had to tell you that)
***
Mordecai marches steady, intent on flanking the dwindling forces of the Demons. As he enters the fray, dark portals suddenly appear around his squad and begin to fell his undead; demonic reinforcements.
