World Turned Upside Down

Inspiration: Yorktown

(I want it stated this is purely FANFICTION and is in NO WAY Cannon. People mentioned have given permission to be spoken about.)



The world had been plunged into chaos. The forces of the Old God had been quelled, and Azshara slain. The Horde and Alliance had routed out the leaders that lead to so many deaths due to the unneeded faction war. Prides shattered and people wounded, no one had the strength to fight the new threat that rose. Arrogance and temperance had led to instill hatred. Many fled under the banner of Blackheart- A human noble with the promise of power and security. The training under the new leader was vigorous for those that served him, though the power he instilled left many craving more. As the Horde and Alliance began rebuilding their cities and returning to a relatively peaceful life, no one saw the attack coming. First many were killed when both Mage District and Valley of Spirits were set ablaze. Before anyone had chance to recover and learn who all had fallen from their families, a small bomb went off on the wall of the Alliance held Lordaeron and the Elder Rise of Thunderbluff. Reports of mass attacks filled all reports as neither the Horde or Alliance could place what was happening. Townsides were ravaged and citizens dare not sleep for fear of what would happen next. The final straw was when a mass explosion of both engineering and magic went off in Dalaran, rocking the city and leaving the Kirin Tor struggling to keep the city afloat, leaving their libraries open and taken advantage of as books of high magic are taken. Soon each site that had been hit had a large apparition appear in the sky.

"We are the Knights of Change. As you can see, your people are weak and easily cut down. Join us and we will change the world for the better. Those who resist will be brought to their knees and enslaved like the mindless they are." The apparition of the man spoke.

War broke out all across Azeroth, the Knights constantly pushing and pressuring the Horde and Alliance, keeping them apart and unable to support one another. The Kirin Tor are put to land as their magics, even with aid of the Blue Flight, are crushed and beaten back.

All seemed lost until some of the more hidden islands of Neutral Forces and Mercenaries came up.

The Battle of Stromgarde.

"Monsieur Ogrimskar." The Sin'dorei grinned.

"Monsieur Vanlador." The Dwarf grunted.
 
"In command where you belong." The elf pat the dwarf's shoulder.

"It's how you say, no sweat." The dwarf shrugged, "We're finally on the field, We've had quite a run."

The two smirked, "Mercenaries. We get the job done."

"So what happens if we win?" Og peered up at the elf.

"I go back to Org. Bring freedom to my people if I'm given the chance." Van spoke, staring out at the wall of the enemy soldiers trudging towards them.

"We'll be with you if you do." The dwarf gripped his hammer.

"Go. Lead your men." Van began to spread his wings.

"See you on the other side." The Death Knight put his helmet on.

"Till we meet again. Let's go." The Demon Hunter flew off.

I am not throwin’ away my shot!
I am not throwin’ away my shot!
Hey yo, I’m just like my country, I’m young
Scrappy and hungry
And I’m not throwin’ away my shot!
I am not throwin’ away my shot!
‘Til the world turns upside down…
‘Til the world turns upside down!

 "I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory. This is where it gets me: on my feet, The enemy ahead of me. If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me. Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me. Then I remember my Lissa’s expecting me...Not only that, my Lissa’s expecting. We gotta go, gotta get the job done. Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son!" Flaxin thought to himself as him and the Intoxication crew prepared to ambush the knights from behind.

Over in the hills overlooking the city.

"Take your bullets out your gun!" Luke ordered his men.

"What?"

"Take your bullets out your gun!" Luke demanded.

"What!"

"We move under cover and we move as one. Through the night, we have one shot to live another day. We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away! We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it. It’s either that or meet the business end of a blade ain't it? The code word is ‘Rochambeau,’ dig me?" Luke told his men.

Rochambeau!

"You have your orders now, go, man, go!" Ogrimskar thought to himself. "And so the Alliance experiment begins. With my friends all scattered to the winds."

Vanlador is in Southern Durotar, redefining brav’ry.

"We'll never be free until we end slavery!" Vanlador shouts to his men before cutting the chains off goblins.

When we finally drive the Knight away
Elaianna is there waiting-
In Stormsong Bay!

How did they know this plan would work?
They had a spy on the inside. That's right.
Izanamie Swesky!

A tailor spyin’ on the Knights government!
I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it
To my husband's revolutionary covenant
I’m runnin’ with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin’ it!
See, that’s what happens when you up against the ruffians
We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!
Izanamie Swesky, I need no introduction
When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again!

After a month of fighting, a young man in a black coat stands on a parapet.
We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief
And just like that, it’s over. We tend to our wounded, we count our dead
Red and Blue soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom

"Not. Yet." Ogrimskar sneered, walking towards the man.

We negotiate the terms of surrender
I see Sir Ogrimskar smile.
We escort their men out of Stormwind
They stagger home single file
Tens of thousands of people flood the streets
There are screams and church bells ringing
And as our fallen foes retreat
I hear the drinking song they’re singing…


"The world turned upside down." Voices sang.

The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
Down
Down, down, down

"Freedom for Alliance, Freedom for Horde!" Van shouts.

Down, down, down

"Gotta start a new nation! Gotta meet my son!" Flaxin grins.

Down, down, down

"We won!" Iza shrieks.

"We won!" Luke screams.

We won!
We won!
The world turned upside down!
