Armageddon / DoomsDay

Armageddon / DoomsDay

It is the year 2198...and for a while, the world was at peace. The Things are going on smoothly except for the thing that the now developed Countries (Contributing to 200 out of 210) are eyeing each other, undercover. There is a State of Cold war, wherein every country for the time being is tight Lipped, and not adding Oil to the Fire. The natural Resources are driven towards extinction, The Land is scarce to grow anything cause the Population has almost Quadrupled in the last 200 Years, the Islands have been washed out cause of the raising of the Sea Level due to the Green House Effect. The Inflation has reached a record high. Every country has a stockpile of Deadly Arms, some of which are more than enough to wipe off all Life from the Earth in a Fraction of Seconds. All nations have joined hands to one of the Three Different Group of Countries, called as the First World Countries, Second World Countries & Third World Countries. These Group of Countries have shook hands as per their Interests & unison in their ideologies. This has divided One World into three spheres. The problems at hand are driving the countries to anguish & frustration, each country wants to control & exploit the resources of its neighboring Country or some other Country. The earth is like a huge stack of dry Straw & grass that is waiting for a spark to ignite it & engulf whole of this earth like a unimaginable, unforeseen Forest Fire, that will spare none, leaving behind only Death & Smoke. Rumors are abuzz that the so & so Country is planning a serious deadly offensive, & this is on the front page of every paper, on everyone’s mind, & on everyone’s Tongue. Each Country Fears that any Country may launch the Offensive against it any time for any reason. Everyone is living in fear, & this sheer fear is driving everyone crazy. The countries are not ready to talk, cause there is nothing to talk over, only war & then winning is being seen as a solution to all the Problems haunting that nation for a long time now. Its like a dam that has been filled with so much of water that will eventually break loose & wreak havoc & destroy everything.

In the morning of 5th.Oct.2198, came the D day when it is discovered that the First World Countries are planning a massive offensive against the Third World Countries as a Result of the Assassination of President of 2 First World Countries in the past, along with the Rocket Attack on some Cities killing thousands in the Third World Countries. Missile attacked being launched by the Second World Countries. These Attacks & killing were in reprisal of the mismatched ideologies of the countries over common Issues. The Countries had prepared for the wrath & the Countries that weren’t prepared for this Armageddon were preparing fast for the catastrophic developments or else would have to perish & be removed from the face of the Earth in a flash of Light. This was a war that would incorporate Accuracy, Speed, Deception, Tactics & above all Power (the Power to bless even the immortal with Death). Soon the Skies were filled with the Fighter Planes, that made no noise at all, there were armed Robots on the Streets, the Humans were equipped with suits that would warn them & protect them from any possible dangers or any threat of attacks. The Army was positioned everywhere & the Weaponry was being airlifted into the Space, so that the Missiles could be launched from Space (Star Wars II). This War was not only to be fought on face of the earth, but also in the Extra Terrestrial Space, wherein Man had Built Artificial Colonies, wherein people would go for Holidays & experiencing the unknown phenomenon of the Space. The war toll after 15 Days : 1.5 Billion Dead, Losses worth Trillion Zillion Rupees, 8 Countries wiped off completely, Poisonous Gases & Biological Chemicals in the Air causing Deaths @ 1800 deaths per Minute, Nuclear Radiations causing Cancer Developments Fast. There are no Doctors or Hospitals available, everyone is on his own. But the war still wages on for 30 Days with the Second World Countries finally Winning over with the launch of their final resort, H Bomb, that left it with a population of 2200 men standing tall on the corpses, to rule the World that had nothing but Death, & no leftover Resources, Everything was destroyed. There was smoke everywhere, no vegetation, nothing, deep craters were left in the earth’s surface. The Oceans had started to heat to the extend that they made steam. Those who were left, also vanished within the next 6 months. Perhaps that was the end of the Days, or was it a new beginning. The Armageddon.
