Great Invasion of Animilia

### Outcome

The Animilian Coalition's defeat at the hands of Bruce Wayne, Animilia conquered

The **Great Invasion of Animilia**, or simply the **Great Invasion**, was estimated to be the bloodiest conflict in the history of Animilia, though it is difficult to say between the Invasion and the subsequent War for Animilian Independance, which was also a war between the Waynian Empire and the newly-branded Animilian Rebellion.

The Invasion began when the Waynian Empire first heard of the existance of Animilia. The Waynian Empire, which had already conquered all of Earth, turned its sights toward the foreign continent. They learned of it when the survivors of the Eternal Beaver Empire were exiled to the "Island of Oddities," which turned out to be Earth, after the Fourth Groundhog-Beaver War.

The Invasion began in Beaveria, and Beaverton City was taken swiftly. Among the survivors of the battle were Private Brownfur B. Toothy and the Seventh Beaver Leader. The Private was the first to warn the Groundhogary, immediately to the south, of the impending mutual threat. The Beaver Leader fled to the Groundhogary Castle as well. A small portion of the Beaverian army survived, which was still nearly a million Beavers. They formed, with the Groundhogary, the beginnings of the Animilian Coalition.

Bruce Wayne had cloned himself hundreds of millions of times, which led to his conquest of Earth. He used the Waynian Army to take Animilia as well. After the Battle of Beaveria, the Groundhogs were warned of the threat. However, they were not prepared for the Waynian Empire's advanced technology and weapons. After the loss at the Battle of Groundhogia, Chipmunkia and Hamsteria were both swiftly taken by the Waynian Empire.

With Rodentland conquered, Wayne turned his sights to Chickenland. The chickens had been warned shortly before the Groundhogary and Beaverians both arrived at their territories of the threat of the Empire. The Chickonry, Hornerians, and Headinninnyinnyish all joined the Groundhogs and Beavers in their fight.

Despite this, the Battle of Chickenland saw all three territories bombed nearly to dust. The Rodentland and Chickenland survivors were forced to ask the Crocogatorians and the rest of Reptilia for shelter. Reptilia joined the Coalition, and the Battle of Reptilia in the following days was one of the most gruesome ever to occur. A nuclear bomb of the Waynian Empire was dropped on the Coalition Base, vaporizing many of the Coalition as well as their headquarters.

The Coalition was forced to retreat to the southern part of Animilia, known only as the Frozen Desert. It was uninhabited because of its sheer coldness, with temperatures nearly always below five degrees fahrenheit. This was unknown to the Waynians, however. When the Waynian Empire dropped of thirty million troops to fight the Coalition's ten million, they had to drop them miles away from the target. Fifteen million Waynian troops froze to death on the march to the Coalition Camp, with only about twenty thousand Animilian deaths of cold while waiting.

The Waynian transports were forced to fly back to Reptilia. The Battle of the Frozen Desert ensued. It saw the jamming and freezing of rifles and artillery on both sides of the fight, so all of the combatants were forced to utilize swords. Groundhogary riflemen were forced to engage in a fierce battle with bladed weapons, whereas melee soldiers used their usual weapons.

The fight was fierce for the first half of the battle. Around the halfway point, Bruce Wayne called for a bombing of the Frozen Desert that would annihilate the Coalition. However, of the five hundred planes sent there, four hundred fifty crashed on the way there due to the cold that froze their engines, thirty were unable to drop their payloads, and only twenty dropped the bombs on the Coalition members. Casualties were high, but the Coalition carried on fighting in their last stand.

Eventually, the sheer numbers of Waynian clones, as well as the added forces of Harry Caray melee soldiers, who had fought in some of the previous battles of the Great Invasion, overwhelmed the Coaliton.

The Fisherians and Turtlerians were all but wiped out by the Waynians' famous Megalodons, and kept under control by the leader of the Megladon forces, who reported directly to Interdimensional Grand Duke Al Gore.

Many soldiers were killed, and the leaders were all taken prisoner. Those soldiers who weren't killed were taken back to their territories and assigned a Waynian Governor over their kingdoms. The leaders of the Coalition were scheduled to be executed one month after the battle. Until then, they were to be held in a maximum-security prison known as "Gray Walls." However, before then, the War for Animilian Independence would begin.

## Prelude

### Exile of the Eternal Beaver Empire

*Main article: Exile of the Beaverians*

After the Fourth Groundhog-Beaver War, when the Eternal Beaver Empire lost the fight to Big R. Pudgins VII and the Groundhogary, they were exiled to the "Island of Oddities." The island turned out to be Earth, and Bruce Wayne--self-proclaimed Interdimensional Emperor--turned his interests toward Animilia after learning of its existence from seeing the Beaverians. As soon as possible, what was left of the Beaverian army hijacked two Waynian battleships, the *USS Godspeed* and the *HMS Projectile*, to sail back to Animilia.

### Battle of Beaveria

*Main article: Battle of Beaveria*

The Battle of Beaveria was a surprise attack by the remnants of the Eternal Beaver Empire, who had returned from exile on Earth. The Groundhogary, who had occupied Beaveria and installed a Beaverian Governor named Bigtooth Furrybottoms to control the territory, were not prepared for an assault on the ground *and* using long range naval weapons.

The *USS Godspeed* and the *HMS Projectile* were both instrumental in the Beaverian victory. They provided extra weapons and artillery that the Groundhogary had no way to combat, seeing as no societies in Animilia (apart from the two aquatic ones, Fisheria and Turtuleria) had developed a navy yet.

The battle was swiftly won with the additional support of the Beaverian Governor and his people, who were discontented with the Groundhogary occupation. This could have developed into a Fifth Groundhog-Beaver War--Big R. Pudgins VII was considering declaring war on the Beaverians, and the same vice versa--had the Great Invasion of Animilia not begun soon after.

### Waynian Preparations

Meanwhile, while the Battle of Beaveria raged across the ocean ocean, Interdimensional Emperor Bruce Wayne of the Waynian Empire ordered for fifty percent of his forces to be readied and fully equipped for air, sea, and land warfare. Interdimensional Grand Duke of the Empire, Al Gore, saw to it that the forces were readied.

All of the Bruce Wayne-Clones were readied for combat, as well as the Megalodon Corps and the Harry Caray melee soldiers. The Waynian Empire massively outnumbered the Animilians at the start of the Invasion.

## War

### Invasion of Beaveria

*Main article: Invasion of Beaveria*

The 15th Waynian Destroyer Battalion of the Waynian Imperial Fleet was dispatched to Beaveria by Bruce Wayne, who wished to know more about where the Beavers exiled to Earth had come from. This led to the discovery of the Animilian continent, which was much larger than the Waynians first thought. Immediate orders came from Admiral Bruce Wayne-Clone to begin a naval bombardment of the coastline of Beaveria.

The northern cost of Beaveria was evacuated, and, seeing an opportunity to expand the Empire, the Admiral--also seeking a promotion--ordered a land invasion.
