Aztec Assault
=============

Introduction
------------
Twice before Phoenix was sent forth to do battle
against the "Abomination" and twice before Phoenix
had been successful ... albeit at great cost to
others, others who had laid down their life in order
that mankind may survive. How sad that their sacrifices
should only have been a mere "hiccup" in the bitter
struggle between the "Time Crusaders of Chronos" and
the evil minions of the "Abomination". The deaths of
these poor unfortunate souls had only served to delay the
march of time and the outcome of the mighty battle
known as the "Great Temporal Struggle", for once again
the "Abomination" had arisen to wreak havoc on some poor
unsuspecting civilisation ......

In the year 1519 A.D., death is an integral part of everyday life for the people of
the Aztec Empire. Unlike some other cultures that fear or try to avoid death, the
Aztecs welcome it with open arms. Human sacrifice is the alchemy by which life is made
from death, and the sun provided with the energy to continue its movement across the
heavens. Without it, the end of the world, the Fifth Sun, will occur. The whole planet
will be devastated by earthquakes and the "Apocalypse" will take place ... At this time
also the Tzitzimime, the monsters of the twilight, will swarm out and hurl themselves
on the few survivors. So it is written and so it has been told.



The Battle Continues...
-----------------------
It is the year 1519 A.D. and the "Primal Darkness" launch their latest attack at the
very heart of the Aztec Empire. The ancient
city of Tenochtitlan is laid to siege and in
a matter of hours they control the entire city
and with it the Aztec Empire. Motecuhzoma flees,
the sacred ashes of the past rulers are stolen,
Cuicoatl (the Snake-Woman) is either possessed
or transformed and demons roam the religious
centres, killing as and when they please. But
more importantly, human sacrifices are no longer
possible and without them the Fifth Sun will
surely occur!

At Finvarra the threat was initially just to
one village. At Santa Barbaro the threat was to
one island but at Tenochtitlan the whole Empire
is at risk ... not only that but possibly the
very existence of the planet itself ... that is
if the Aztec's belief in the Fifth Sun is to be
believed and proves correct.

Phoenix was successful against the "Abomination" twice before but there is a new evil entity commanding this assault ... can Phoenix defeat the demons of the Aztec Assault?
