Competition: [CA:CW] So-da-licious

The war has begun. Two sides battle, but only one can win. This crusade began long ago, but it will finally draw to a close - only one side can prevail. Aligned on one side of the battlefield, under the banner of Atyiru, are those whom stand to defend the virtue of "pop". On the other side of the battlefield, gathered in opposition by Terran, are crusaders whom bring the truth of "soda". Bring this great epic to a close. What side are you on? What did you do and what did you witness? Whom will emerge victorious?

Minimum 500 words. Will be graded using the Fiction Rubric.
