Sure, lemme help you:

Dalu, port city of Kopeke Nui
It seemed as if the day was supposed to be a good one. As he walked to the podium, Elder Turaga Arktinen saw Matoran all around. The Turaga of Dalu was already waiting. Further on lay the ships. Stocked with Kanoka Disks, supplies, and artistic works, those ships and the Matoran that would sail with it were the reason he was in Dalu this day. The air was cool for a summer day, but not so cool that the port was blocked.
The Elder Turaga stepped onto the podium and began to speak:
"Gathered friends, today we undertake a major step forward in our history. It has been centuries since the outside world approached us. Though you all know about its terrible end, I am here to reassure you that a different end will be sought today. Back then, we were fragmented, and let anger run rampant. Yet today, as much as ever, we are united! Those who volunteered to sail know their Duty. They will not let this be disintegrated! It was prophesied that Kopeke Nui would see the outside world yet again. Why not do so on our terms? We are prosperous, a prosperity we should share. Only fear is what could stop us from our Destiny, yet today we show the courage to overcome this fear! And today, we take this Destiny in our own hands!"
Arktinen waved goodbye to the ships as the Matoran cheered, bid their friends goodbye and watched the ships leave. He saw the Gukko taking off so they could cover the ships as long as they could.
Though Arktinen would never admit it, he secretly hoped for the sailors' safety, and that everything would be all right.

Somewhere in the Desert on route to Las Vegas

Speeding along the long deserted highway in a in a fire apple red convertible sat Mephisto the 6th, and at the wheel, the Robot Devil, smoking a large cigar.

Mephisto: Ah yes yes man master we are nearly there now, nearly there, we shall be in Vegas for your speech to the people soon.

Mephisto appears to be twitching and drooling a little. Suddenly the Robot Devil slaps his arm around his shoulders.

Robot Devil: Indeed we shall my dear chum! We shall declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty! The beauty of speed! A racing automobile with its bonnet adorned with great tubes like serpents with explosive breath! A roaring motor car which seems to run on machine-gun fire, is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace!!

Mephisto doesn't appear to be listen but is staring over head of the car. The Robot Devil puffs on his cigar furiously and turns on the radio, it starts to play; "one toke over the line" and the Devil sings along.

Mephisto: One toke you poor fool, wait till you see these god damn BATS!!

Suddenly the car serves all over the place.

Robot Devil: YA KAOO, rawg, here You drive. You drive. I think there's something wrong with me.

Mephisto: WHAT!? NOOO we can't stop here this is BAT country!!

Tombstone - Sheriff's office in the center of town

Doc Holliday sits in the . Doc Holliday is sweating and pale, slowly sipping whiskey from a fine crystal glass, with the bottle on the desk next to him. Wyatt Earp walks in and looks at Doc, starts grabbing his guns.

Doc Holliday: What is it? *hiccups*

Wyatt only looks at him again briefly, then glances at the desk.

Doc Holliday: Stop looking at the suspiciously empty bottle and out with it already.

Wyatt Earp: We got riders coming, from the north, look like the Robot Devil's men.

The men get gear up and head out to meet the 20 or so men on horseback riding into town. At there head road a man on a white horse wielding a bow. Doc Holliday leans up against a wooden post, pistols in hand. Wyatt Earp steps out to meet them.

Wyatt Earp: what's the Robot Devil want now, we told you, your not welcome here, Tombstone is a free city.

The White Rider comes up to Wyatt.

White Rider: I am Pestilence first of the four horsemen and You are in the Devil's lands, from here to Limbo is claimed in hi name. Shall you not bow before him, your city shall be wiped off the face of the planet.

Doc Holliday cocks his gun: Well now there buddy, those be some big words from a man who carries a bow. *hiccups*

Pestilence (AKA white Rider): I'm not your buddy, pal.

Doc Holliday: Ay i'm not your pal, dude

Pestilence: I'm not your dude, man!!

Wyatt Earp: Aight that's enough! You got five seconds to high tail it outta here before we start shooting.

Wyatt aims lifts his shotgun meaningfully. Pestilence draws an arrow back.

Pestilence: Try it and you'll be dead before you hit the ground. Poison tipped arrows, nasty venom, feels like your blood is boiling.

Doc Holliday steps forward: Think so? Wana bet who's faster.

Pestilence: Don't make me laugh, you drunk, does look like you could hit a wall five feet in front of you. You must be seeing double.

Doc Holliday cocks his second gun: Ya well now see, I got two, One for the each of you. *hiccups*

Pestilence turns to his men: Lets go.

Pestilence: We'll be back *cough* "Sheriff". You can be sure of that.

Laughter it heard coming from the riders as they leave.

@ Devil: I like the factbook. Have you read Good Omens (Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman)? It's got an amusing modern take on the Four Horsemen.
BTW, I've already compiled all the info on my NS factbook. Should I post all this here just to be sure?

IC:
sitar noir regional waters
By now pretty far from Kopeke Nui's coast, the fleet had since split up into small groups, each with their own destination. The crews had since taken note of the climate. Since they had left Kopeke Nui, it had become much warmer, most hoping that it would not get much warmer. At night, in part due to the cold, the crews sailed most efficiently, using navigational equipment in comparison to their starmaps to plot their course, along with navigational maps, with the data dating from Captain Takua's expeditions.

By now it would take less than a day for the ships to reach landfall. The charts showed unclaimed land and particularly mountainous terrain. The ship's captain smiled. They could perhaps found a settlement there...
"Captain! I'm seeing something, and it's not showing on our charts! Wait... it's moving!"
"I will come down. Where are you seeing it?" the captain asked as he put the spyglass to his eye. "By Mata Nui- it's a ship! But I've never seen anything that big!?" He lowered the spyglass. "All crews, be prepared for anything. The other ships stay behind- we will meet this metal ship. Ready the Kanoka, just in case."

Elsewhere
One of the groups, with particularly many Guards aboard the ships, was tasked with charting particularly hazardous territory. Captain Takua's records spoke of a particularly hot land home to many warring groups. The group were hoping to touch down at more peaceful lands, if at all possible. Still, it would take several days before they could get near.

Sitar noir battle ship
Captain Nassau "it appears one of those little row boats are approaching fire off a salvo around their ship
"
The shipps main guns fire around the shop then over the loud speaker "who are you people and what are you doing in the republics waters ?"
The ship also blares it's alert sirens and moves closer
===========
SNN
The terrorists have all turned themselves in for hefty prices and have been put on a reservations
======

[Kopeke]

OOC: @ sitar noir: Are the terrorists that greedy? They just give up their cause for money?

IC:
sitar noir regional waters
The Matoran all dropped to the ground as a response to the blasts from the battleship. Though many lay down still as the waves resulting from the blasts rocked the boat, captain Balta tried to scramble to his feet. He tried to improvise a type of loudspeaker so he could shout back: "This is captain Balta of the Vako. We hail from Kopeke Nui We were not aware these waters were yours. Does the sea not belong to all?" He motioned to reduce power to the engine and protect the sails.

[sitarnoir]

OOC: nope have a plan
=========
Captain Nassau "yes the inter regional waters are
But these are republic waters you're in how about you come a board ?"
The captain lowers a speed boat from the battle ship sending it towards the Voka with 8 heavily armed marines on board -
==========
Terrorist camp
Obamsa "no that we've got more money we can fund our activitys ....purchas arms from our contracter we will break out some prisoners "
=========
San Quentin's prison
A explosion rocked the prison terrorists swarmed through the hole

Warden James "dammit send all guards to the breach lock down the prisoners! "
A battle erupted but the guards quickly lost ground and were isolated to the barracks

[Kopeke]

sitar noir regional waters
Captain Balta and the rest of the crew looked on as the battleship dropped their speedboat. Garan, part of the six Guards that accompanied the voyage, approached him. "See those humans coming on their little boat. See them standing rigidly, clasping their little weapons?"
"It seems that these humans have greatly advanced as well since the Great Disruption. I would not be surprised that those weapons they carry are even more dangerous than what they gave us so long ago."
"But why? I know not a single Rahi that could even possibly stand up to that," Garan asked, gesturing to the battleship guns. "Either all humans are as warlike as they, or there is something that necessitated these ships."
"Correct. We must inform the Turaga once we return. But their boat is here. Don't worry, I can do fine there. Watch over the crew. Protect them if needed."
"Balta, you can't leave alone. You need someone with you. Better to be united, if only with one. I shall join you."
Garan adjusted the disk launcher he carried on his back, and after explaining the events to the crew, stepped on the sitar noir speedboat to see Captain Nassau.

[sitarnoir]

The marines escorted them to the bridge wich was bustleing with activity captain Nassau turned to the with a smile "ah hello there chaps may I ask what bring you to the republics waters ?" he motioned to a servant who brought up some food "would you like to eat? There is baked geese freid turtles and my personal favorite ice cream "
==========
A small town
Captian of the guard "lads what's those lights there ?"
Guard "sir -using binoculars - those are large supply trucks"
Captain " that's odd the supply's aren't do for a couple more days alert the men to be on guard "
-the guards assemble as the trucks pull into the city square all 20 of the guards salute as the Captian strolls up "
Driver "these are food rations sir "
The captain sighed and nodded -

Three hours later
Johnny "ok it's clear let's go" -him and three more men jumped out of the trucks -

[Kopeke]

Nassau's ship
Garan and Balta exchanged awkward glances upon being shown the food. "Uh, we'll try the ice cream, thanks," Garan said.
Balta on the other hand, was more business-like. "Our purpose is a twofold mapping and diplomatic mission. We intend to update our seacharts on to the current state of the world. We also want to update our understanding of this world by making contact with the current nations inhabiting the world. As a sidenote, we also hoped that we could share some of our prosperity. Hence why we are in 'your' waters. We intended to map the coastline and establish contact with your nation."

[sitarnoir]

Captain Nassau
Nodded stroking his beard "yes I see...well feel free to map the coastline but expect at least one patrol boat to be following you ...also on the behalf of the republic I'd like to offer your nation the current map of the region and a trade agreement ?" -he nodded as well and the servant handed them thrice cream -

The village

Johnny and his three men took up separate positions one as a bartender one as a waiter and the other as a barber his very same thing was happening all over the countryside
