They attempt to get into the panic room or secret passage or whatever it is.

It is a highly reinforced whatever it is.

They try harder.

They get a small room. With a door. And a couple people standing there, rolling their eyes. "All right," says one of them - grey - to the yellow holding the door. "Close it until we're ready."

The door closes. From the perspective of the door-finders, the door immediately opens. Anitam invades the Oahk Empire.

The Oahk Empire is displeased.

But the production value on the propaganda videos is really impressive! What is there to be displeased about?

Most of the Anitami army does not fly at arbitrary speeds, shrug off rockets and bullets and missiles, and demonstrate the ability to pick tanks up and spin them in the air and then set them down in the middle of a cornfield with critical parts missing. It's actually a pretty small section of the Anitami army that does that. They get disproportionate airtime in the videos. In case people might not believe the videos they also fly around in the sky sometimes, visible to all, dropping leaflets. 

One of them has red hair and escorts a little flying red unit with feathered wings in all different colors. The red unit gets airtime in the videos. Invading soldiers come across a body, check for signs of life, call over the floating reds. One of them winks at the camera and waves her hand dramatically and the body disappears into thin air, leaving distinctive red chalk dust in the surrounding area; another one waves his hands dramatically at the red chalk dust and it gives way to green grass. 

"Thanks," says a floating grey soldier nonchalantly, and zips off up ahead again. 

Locals... watch the channel.

The reds never touch anything, not even the ground. At one point a soldier gets shot without a medical unit nearby, and one of the reds gestures the victim's clothing out of existence to do some kind of not-touching-involved emergency care, frowning intently from a foot away. The medics arrive a minute later, and let her finish. The injury knits itself up neatly, into smooth skin.

" - damn," says the soldier. "I won't even have a scar. You could've left it so I had a scar."

       "...do you want a scar?" asks the scarlet-haired girl with big blue wings. "I can do a scar."

"Nah, wouldn't count. I'll just have to get another one. You didn't touch me, right -"

      "Can't, this binding is fanatical about that."

"Kay, good. - thanks."

       "My pleasure!"

A guy with striking batlike wings shows up where the soldiers are resting. His hair is purple. For some reason everyone is ecstatic to see him (except the reds, who roll their eyes and pointedly ignore him.) The reason becomes apparent immediately. "I want my mom's lasagna. Specifically my mom's."

     "I want his mom's lasagna too."

     "I want his mom."

"I'm just doing food," says purple-haired guy, making lasagnes out of thin air.

      "Pizza."

      "Caviar."

      "Copy of whatever Intal Neli had for dinner last night."

      "Copy of whatever the Emperor of Oahk had for dinner last night."

Food appears. 

      "Hey," someone shouts at the reds, "you want delivery?"

"I'll have a Sotherset sandwich," one of them says irritably. "You know it's not like he's putting any work into it -"

Demon bows dramatically and makes a sandwich in midair for her; the fairy who's floating them makes it stay there. 

      "I'll have steak," says another red. "Nothing funny done to it."

"Wouldn't dream of it."

      "I'll have toffee."

(Isel giggles gleefully in post-production.)

If they're checking ratings, reds are definitely watching.

She's keeping an eye on that, yeah.

They move Oahkar troops back into Oahk proper, the pace set more by the need to keep the newly liberated areas stable than by the difficulty of overcoming the Oahk army. The television explains that they'll be offering everybody a path to independence which should take two to five years, depending how quickly they manage stability. New, shiny buildings rise by magic out of rubble; the television says that refugees will be housed there, and shows them moving in. People who were forced to abort a child by the Oahk Empire should before the end of spring visit their nearest embassy of the new occupiers, who may be able to help.

A bunch of humans go and free all the animals in factory farms, to the alarm of the farmers. "You can just grow the meat directly, we'll set it up for you before we leave," someone with an armful of chickens tells a baffled slaughterhouse worker, before rushing the chickens to a medical angel's attention.

The Internet is abuzz with crazy theories. "Time travelers" is in fact on there.

They'll pretty much confirm that if asked. Yep, Anitam from forty years in the future. It's the kinda time travel where their future still exists, and it's a pretty nice future, but that doesn't mean they were going to just let the Empire fuck with their country until the time of the Empire's destined collapse.

Once there are soldiers positioned to occupy everything formerly Empireish, some indestructible greys fly casually palace-wards. The cameras follow them.

The Emperor and his family are perhaps predictably not waiting around in the palace.

The palace gets gleefully flung into the air and then ground into bits; up go some new buildings. The camera follows the demon making the buildings, who has slowed down the making so it's more cinematic, like watching something unfold instead of like watching something appear. 

       "Okay, okay," says one of the soldiers. "Now make a copy of the surroundings of the Emperor of Oahk, scaled so it doesn't take up too much space -"

Demon tries that.

Looks like he's underground someplace under a desert.

They do a few more conjurations to narrow down the desert. Off they go.

It's across a little-patrolled border into Tapa.

They stop at the border, annoyed. 

The ruling council of Anitam reaches out to establish diplomatic relations with Tapa and request permission to go fetch that pesky Oahk Emperor under their desert.

How do they know there is an Emperor under their desert?

Has Tapa been watching the magical making-stuff?

Yes, they have excellent special effects and somebody on the writing team thinks they're real edgy, what of it?

Why don't they meet in person.

Sure.

Tapa is invited to propose a location, since they've yet to consolidate governance in the formerly Oahk territories.

How about Shi Alassei?
