James Kinross was enjoying the day so far. He had came down to the Island of Warriors from Bezold with his girlfriend, who was currently mercilessly assaulting a clump of cotton candy. It had been a good day so far; they had seen the Catalina- James was still amazed, seeing the size of its guns first hand.. After that they had grabbed some beer from the pavilion, and went to watch the pegasi perform. They had gasped as the agile flyers swooped and dived, performing death-defying stunts in mid air. Lilly was now cradling a sheet of paper in her hand, marked with the signature of one of a pony co-ordinating things on the ground that Lilly had been going crazy about meeting. Apparently, he was some sort of celebrity flyer. Finally, just twenty minutes ago, they had seen the night-black armor of the ODST reserves as they sat at a table in the bar. Lilly had huffed and hawed as James flipped out about it, "Boys and their toys" she haid sighed, while it was his turn to flip out in excitement. He had got her to take a photo of him sitting at the bar surrounded by the 6 shock-troopers.

While watching the Guards do a recreation of the Sapphire Defense, there had been an earthquake. A voice had came over the tannoys and told them everything was fine, that it was jsut a small one and there was nothing to worry about, and if you were injured to make yourself known to the first aid personnel.

They were now ambling along the promenade, enjoying the sun, arms linked round each other. Staring out at the bay, he saw an unusual sight. "Hey babe, the tide sure goes out quick here, don't it?" With a confused look, she peered past his body and out at sea. The bay was now uncovered for a few hundred yards out to sea, the widest beach either of them had ever seen.

"C'mon, lets go down and check it out" he called as he made his way towards the seawall stairs leading down onto the beach. On the beach, several others had apparently had the same idea.

"Sweetie, I don't think its a good idea. I mean, what if it comes in as quick?

"Nonsense, we'll see it and be easliy able to get onto dry land, and besides you and me can both swim.

"Okay, I guess." Her facial expression didn't look too sure though.

Walking down to the freshly exposed sand, he bent down and picked up a fish. "looks like this poor fella wasn't fast enough" he said, turning to wave it at her.

"EWWW KEEP IT AWAY!" she shrieked "It's still squirming! You absolute...." she trailed off.

Honey? he asked, as she stood there. Dropping the fish, he waved his hand in her face, getting no reaction. He turned to see what she was fixated on. That was when he heard the sirens begin.

There was a wall of water rising up. It was getting closer.

It was getting closer fast.

Turning back to her, he hugged her tightly. "I love you Lilly."

The wave swept in, devastating everything in it's path. Those unfortunate to be on the beach and promenade never stood a chance as the gargantuan wave swept over them and thundered over the seawall without slowing down. It roared into the harbor like an angry god, tossing ships like an angry child throwing toys. The grand Catalina, pride of the fleet, was on the front pier. It never stood a chance. The wave picked it up, smashing it it into the harbour. Further inland, the wave picked up vehicles and stalls alike, indiscriminatly picking them up and creating a maelstrom of destruction. It knocked over buildings in the town as if they were models, and continued to surge inwards.

It was over in minutes. As suddenly as it came, the water began to drain back, retreating back, sweeping people and debris alike out to sea. Survivors began to pick themselves up and call out for loved ones. Screams and crying filled the air, mingling into a cacophony of terror. Many ran across the debris, seaching for friends and relatives. The remains of the military forces began to try and organise search and rescue teams.

No one was expecting the second wave when it hit.

The second wave, even larger than the first, swept in, catching everything in its path. Aided by the water from the first wave, it effortlessly rolled up the land, quickly obliterating any semblence of order remaining. It made its way right across the land, hitting into the Priory of the Petal. The acienct building stood firm for a second, it's deep foundations refusing to yield, until it too was obliterated by the wall of water. Sweeping right through the length of the island, it left no part untouched.

Meanwhile, the rest of the wave that had missed the island continued rolling inwards invisibly, rushing closer towards the mainland...

Glasses shatter as they fall off tables, and a few people nearly lose their footing. Large waves toss themselves over the seawall and onto the promenade. Dogs start barking, and many try to free themselves from their leads.

Just as the people begin to panic, it dies down and stops. In the Pavilion's beer garden, one man -turning to his colleagues- says "My, it seems old Mother Nature has overexerted herself. That was rather pathetic compared to recent events if you ask me." Other patrons nearby overhear and share in the laughter.

On the Catalina, crew help the less sea-sturdy civilians pick themselves up off the deck. At the airshow, medical crews check the crowd for people in need of first aid. Thankfully, apart from a few scrapes from falling and a few shattered nerves, mostly everyone is ok.

-Hi! Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the First Joint Forces Expo! I'm Jack Waters, and this is my co-commentator Bobby Rumble!

-Well Jack, here we are at the First airshow!

-Time to see what these fly-boys and girls are gonna show us!

-Here comes the daring pilots of the 764.5th. Flying at the lead is Commander 'Buzz' Jackson, with his wingmen 'Ice', 'Thunder' and 'Wolverine'

-Wow! What a display of flying skill that was!

-Wow, what an opening ceremony! I can't wait to see what the flyers have in store for us! I can now declare the events...open!

Capable of getting any food or drink you desire, feel free to order.

Friends, brothers, the Order of the Holy Periwinkle Light needs the faithful. Many answered the Prophet's original call and for that I am grateful. Time has passed, things have changed, and I will not hold those who answered the call to their past decision. Those who wish to remain in the Order will keep the title the Prophet gave them, those who join now will earn their own place.

The only requirement for joining is to serve the Holy Periwinkle Light with all of your heart. As such, you will live here on the Island of Warriors. If you wish to join, state your case below.

Excelsior brothers! For Periwinkle!

Fellow Periwinkles, is there progress towards colonizing this territory? If not, then I shall be the first to make my permanent home here. If so, then I will be happy to provide any assistance I can in the development and taming of this clearly wild land. I have found little information on the interior of this island, and this territory has no flag, nor a clear governor. To this end I will be exploring the island myself, and soon attempt to map it, unless the results of a previous cartographic expedition are made known to me.

http://www.reddit.com/r/periwinkle/comments/1fd5q3/periwinklian_from_alternate_universe/ Greetings! I have traveled through time and space from an alternate universe and have landed here (not very gracefully I must add, as I have broken my means of transportation.) In the universe when I'm from, named /r/nofap, we too have a scourge with our own /r/orangered menace. While I'm here fixing my wormhole device, I would like to help your Kingdom in it's own war. With the guidance of /u/myductape I have made my way across Chroma to this island. Please, take me and baptize me in the Holy Periwinkle Light and lead me to where I might be of service in your universe!

The Holy Periwinkle Light serves all Periwinkles, now it is our turn to serve the Light by ridding this land of the Orangered Scourge. I am seeking priests and priestesses who will commune with the Holy Periwinkle Light and wage war against the Orangered Menace.

Reply below if you are interested in joining the Order. Members of the Order will use all methods necessary to destroy our enemy.

This is no longer a battle. This is a Holy War. And we are on the side of righteousness.

State your application below. Not all will be approved, and you will be tested to ensure your loyalty and service to the Holy Periwinkle Light.

What can I do for the Island of Warriors, we will win every battle, and I will help!
