In Command of the Cycle

Earth, PW-2

 

Masked by the glory of the burning local sun, a grand multiplicity of crimson-red portals explode forth into existence. By the thousands they come to dot the Pacific's tranquil skies with their splendorous magnificence - and but only moments after they beget their presence in the tall column of this blue world, ships in splendid order alight from their centres to slide into position above the myriad island chains over which their portals have brought them: tall slabs of industrial-looking armour define these craft, as do their rows of turrets housing guns with six, seven, and even eight barrels; their forms - those of outrigger ships complete with sails and skyward-reaching masts - betray their origin, that of a warfleet of the Holy Kawaikini Navy, the Battlegroup Hokulani. A navigational error on part of the Kawaikini plotters, assuaged by the supreme countenance of the gods, has brought them here. 

 

A reality that is of no relevance to the children of the Nui'ino.

 

Without warning and with frightening rapidity, the gun-barrels of the flat-sided ships train themselves groundward and begin an apocalyptic cacophony of fire. Volcanic slagshot hurls down from these barrels to deluge the land in molten metal - but just the centres of population. Eyesores that they be, they must go, so Kawaikini's children can build anew upon the islands of this world. 

 

And of course it would hardly be proper if only aerial bombardment were to be visited upon this ground. The fire stops and the skies fall silent once more - the tones of the giant outriggers humming with industrial purpose cannot be made out from the ground.

 

On the heels of the swift warships of the Battlegroup Hokulani, another grand array of portals emerge from nothing... And from these portals spew men and equipment: tall beasts of burden - lugging gargantuan pieces of artillery and mobile shielding equipment - and infantry, clad lightly with no visible metal armour but glistening from oils and warpaint (and mostly laden with what seem to be simple tube rifles although some appear to have nothing at all); the sounds of land battle are quick to begin even though the skies once poured death, and throughout the Pacific from Hawai'i to Saipan and Kwajalein to Samoa the tide of Kawaikini forces grows in ever-increasing number.

Birth of the New

Earth

 

And so the tides grow vast and unending, and all but seem to be invincible to the natives of the realm. The rapid and loud crack! of gunfire is punctuated by the sounds of grand torrents of earth and molten slag crashing into position after position. Warriors with simple tube rifles hunt out locales of resistance with ease and flush them out into the open where mounted infantry, ducking through the rainforests and over the sand-swept atolls of the Pacific, end them with much more powerful attacks. Many unfortunate souls are entombed forever in rock and metal while others are simply torn asunder and limb from limb. Resistance is incapable of remaining under such heavy and relentless Kawaikini assault and it soon begins to crumble across the various and distant holdings. And as it does the Kawaikini soon direct their attention elsewhere; they came to bring another world under the tall banner of the Waikahla-Pohaku'ula, but it seems the gods have a cruel sense of humour. Advanced and numerous civilizations dots the larger continents of this world making total conquest... Difficult

 

With victory behind them grand task now presents itself before them. Their entrance, fraught with hatred, has left the lands desolate and barren. And it is this that guides them now; the need to rebuild and establish livelihoods on this most distant of worlds. In the first days past their arrival Kawaikini work speedily. They clear away the final vestiges of what once were cities and homes and replace them with their own. Sprawling settlements begin to take shape along the slopes and in the calderas of the mighty volcanoes; buildings crafted entirely from metal pierce the heavens with their thick walls and towers and temple complexes, but the beneath all that adorns the surface are the bulk of the living areas: tunnels and caverns and myriad chambers that eventually connect with the natural piping of many of the red-mountains to allow rivers of magma to flow freely through the subterranean cities as homage to the gods themselves. 

 

Yet amidst all the building and commotion of arrival, a grand city rises above the rest: a citadel of rock and steel snug within the treed peaks of the island Kaua'i takes majestic form, and the renewed lava floes of the silent volcano Waialeale call out in exhilaration, marking the arrival of the children from the Nui'ino. It is a large city, and with its expanse and location comes purpose. The nimble Master Hokulani, commanding all Kawaikini here and the battlegroup which brought them, has given title to the new city. Ke'alohilani is the handle bestowed and with this divine appellation the city atop the Waialeale is declared the capital of these new holdings. Smaller settlements ring Ke'alohilani all along the mountainside and lead out into the sea where the grandest of spaceports has taken shape; the outrigger starships of the Holy Kawaikini Navy, with no logistics to support them and no apparent way home, soon find the piers and quays to be of splendid convenience.
