Alternative history on the Byzantine Empire. This has many influences so you may see some similarities with other stories.


Constantinople, 1453.

"Crap" Constantine muttered to himself.

"What was that, sir?" His bodyguard asked him.

"Err, uhhh, snap! That's it, snap!" Constantine replied. He dare not swear in front of his bodyguard.

"Oh" his bodyguard looked on.

At the Turkish Camp, Mehmed II was playing a game of checkers with his brother, Mehmet. They oddly had the same name, just a tiny bit different. A royal guard ran into the tent they were playing in.

"Sir! Sir!" the royal guard said.

"What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?" Mehmed II said, slamming his fist on the table. "Check mate!" Mehmed screamed with joy and did a victory dance in front of both the royal guard and Mehmet.

"Cheater" Mehmet whimpered sticking his tongue out at Mehmed.

"Sir, we have word that we can begin the siege on Constantinople" the royal guard said.

"Ok Ok, get me my horse" Mehmed yawned.

Back at Constantinople

"Those Turks have started attacking already!" Constantine screamed.

"Rasict!" a civilian shouted at Constantine.

"Oh shut up!" Constantine shouted back.

"No!" the civilian shouted.

"FINE THEN!!!" Constantine walked back to his palace.

"Uh but sir we need you here to lead the troops" the royal guard said.

"NO YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" Constantine ran into his palace.

back to Mehmed

"CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!" Mehmed yelled. He charged the Byzantine walls.

He got killed.

Apparently all the other soldiers were scared of Constantinople's big walls and didn't charge. Mehmed died without seeing an Ottoman Empire.

"OH MY GOD! HE CHARGED OUR WALLS!" A Byzantine Soldier screamed like a girl.

"Err, come on guys we can beat them just charge!" the royal guards led the troops against the Turks.

They got mowed down.

The surviving royal guards ran into Constantines palace where he was heard crying.

"We're leaving!" Constantine picked up his bags and left with the guards.

They stumbled and tripped over dead bodies until they reached Thessalonica.

TO BE CONTINUED.......DUM DUM DUM!!!

"Right, we invade mainland Greece tomorrow" a royal guard announced.

At Constantinople, Mehmet looks at Constantinople with a tear in his eye.

"Sir, since Mehmed is dead, YOU get to be Sultan" a royal guard told Mehmet.

All Mehmet's sorrows went away.

"Allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllright!" He jumped and did his own victory dance.

"WE MUST SIEGE PELLA!" Constantine was heard shouting.

"But I don't wanna" a soldier said, sticking his tongue out at Constantine.

"BUT WE MUST!" Constantine shouted.

"Why do you have to be so mean?" another soldier asked.

This soldier was killed for his lack of will.

"Anyone else?" Constantine asked.

"THEN WE SIEGE PELLA!" Constantine ordered.

The soldiers started marching. And marching. And marching. And marching. And marching.

Until they reached Pella.

The town was emtpy.

Apparently everyone left when the Turks arrived.

A note read:

This sucks. Hide the children we are leaving!

"What an odd folk" Constantine said.

"What do you expect when a Greek hears that Turks are coming?" a royal guard asked.

"Right" Constantine replied.

They walked into Pella.

Admiral Alexius looked out to the ocean horizon. It was beautiful, if you could look past the trees. Yes, Byzantium's highest ranking Admiral has crashed land God knows where.

"Admiral! Admiral! We have received contact from a people who call themselves, Aztecs" a sailor shouted.

"Did you run through the halls?" Admiral Alexius asked.

The sailor looked down "Yes Sir"

This sailor was drowned for breaking the rules.

Alexius walked out to greet the Aztecs. He held out his hand to the leader.

"Ooga Ooga?" the Aztec asked.

"Pardon?" Alexius said, confused.

"Ooga Ooga Oo!" the Aztec replied "OOGAOOGAOOGA! OOOOOOGA!!!"

The Aztecs atarded charging the sailors.

"Attack!" Alexius ordered.

The Byzantines won.

"What a great victory!" Alexius said, proudly.

"That was a sad victory, we lost 300 people to a bunch of men with sticks and skins" a sailor said.

This sailor was killed for his lack of happiness.

The Christmas Episode

":gah2: Humbug!" A soldier said.

"What?" Constantine asked.

"Err nothing Sir, I just hate Christmas" the soldier replied.

The soldier was killed for not liking Christmas.

"He was Atheist Sir" a royal guard said.

"Oh, than revive him then kill him again" Constantine ordered.

The soldier was revived.

"Oh thank you Sir I will-UGH" the soldier groaned as the sword stuck out of him.

"Maybe we should've let him finish his sentance" a royal guard said.

The royal guard was killed for his suggestion.

Back to Alexius

"This sucks"

Back to Constantine's army

They had no army.

"Oh yeah we need an army" a royal guard said.

The royal guard was killed.

Will they get an Army, will Alexius get off the unknown land and the Aztecs? Find out in Part 2.............................
