History
Cobra invaded Al-Alawi, and quickly forced it's military into retreat. They began to set up the Terror Drome, when G.I. Joe responded. They sent in a flight of F-35 Lightning II's, commanded by Ghostrider, and a flight of AH-64 Apache Helicopter, commanded by Scarlett, to land an Advance team, and to bomb the Terror Drome. The mission failed for the Joes, as the Apaches met with Cobra MAMBA's and Vectors and were all shot down. Cobra Night Raven's and Rattler's were able to force the F-35's to retreat.

Scarlett was the only Apache pilot to survive the crashes of the Apaches, and she fought Interrogator and Over Kill, escaping when she was able to use her crossbow's 'Net-Bolt' to entangle them both together. She escaped into the Desert. Cobra mounted a large search operation, and has also jammed all communications not of Cobra Origin.

Meanwhile, Major Bludd ordered Artemis to Locate and Capture the Crown Prince of Al-Alawi, and after many days of searching, she and a Squadron of Alley-Vipers, which she had assigned into three groups, named after Rebel Alliance Fighter Squadrons from Star Wars, located the Prince in Crown City's Harem Palace. They assaulted the Palace, and captured the Prince, executing his guards, and killing most of the Harem Girls, who took up arms in the Prince's defense. The Prince is now a 'Guest' of Cobra in the Terror Drome's Cell.

Scarlett maintained her Intelligence Gathering operation, waiting for the G.I. Joe Response Team's arrival, and was spotted by Ovil kill. The robot engaged her, and Interrogator arrived to help. She was trapped between two enemies, and was forced to fight them both. She dispatched them, forcing Over Kill to shut down, and Interrogator to flee, but not before being seriously wounded. Her wounds are serious enough that she has taken refuge with local Kurds, in a series of caves, who are attempting to form a Resistance group, and are currently nursing Scarlett's wound, and attempting to send a message over the Al-Alawian border, into Iraq, and the American Forces on station there.

Just recently, Baroness arrived in Al-Alawi, to take command of the next stage of the Invasion, and to bring in the massive reinforcements. A Division of Vipers, Multiple Squadrons of Alley-Vipers, Range-Vipers, HEAT-Viper's, along with HISS Tanks, Rages, and multiple air wings of Rattlers and Liquators.

Chaos in Al-Alawi - Associated Press

Dateline: July 20, 2011 (9:00 AM Eastern Time)

Location: Crown City, Al-Alawi

Unknown forces landed 50 miles away from the Crown City of Al-Alawi, sometime just before dawn, local time (11:00 PM July 19, 2011) and began a blitzkrieg-like assault on the Middle Eastern Country. They currently control well over two-thirds of the country, and the Crown Prince is in hiding. The military of Al-Alawi is resisting, but in every engagement, being blown back into the stone age. Reports are sketchy as to what forces are engaging the Al-Alawi's, but the most persistant rumors are that Cobra H.I.S.S. and Rage's have been spotted in country.

Cobra Island has been silent about this topic, as of yet, and no statement has been made by Baroness, nor by any high ranking Cobra Official, so speculation is all we can make at this time. The United Nations has not yet met on this, and no announced Emergancy Session has been scheduled, at this time.

We will bring more information as it breaks.
