(Ive stumbled upon this problem many times. I would like to make it VERY clear to you that this is a fanfic of gate: thus the JSDF fought there. Characters and some plot from the anime would be shown in this story, but it also crosses its own plot as you continue to read. Have fun.)
Not that i have imagined such horrific and terrifying creatures that roam this land, but. These.. things.. whatever they are. I dont know where they came from, they just appeared after some strange phenomenon that happened to our lands. Metal creatures, metal weapons, everything, everything is metal for them. I have never seen such things and yet it gives me a sense of dread and horror, machines capable of mass destruction, just who are they? Are they human?? And i thought we are superior because of magic.. i thought we are the most powerful and intelligent people in this world but yet we've been challenged by a foe unlike any other, a foe never to be underestimated, but the people grew blind.. they were so shrouded and possessed by power that they were so confident of taking them down.. but they were wrong.. their empire's flag waves on top of their flags as they burnt on the patches of charred earth, their weapons are so strong they can eradicate everyone with a blink of an eye.. they're gods, they're divine beings, they're demons, they're angels, names my people have given to this iron army.. Red, Blue, and White.. their flag has stars, and red and white stripes, i wonder what it means.. perhaps.. theres more to this empire than what meets the eye..
.....A flag, Red white and blue, stars, and stripes waves on an iron ship, it stood not alone as it was accompanied by several other iron ships and a massive one, also covered in iron. People walked around the flat area of the ship, it's big, big enough to host a gladiator battle.. The iron canon located on the front of the iron vessel pumped out smoke as it stood infront of a unknown fleet one of the ships was burning down as it sunk, the others stood idle. The two fleets one made of iron, the other is a mixture of wood and steel, stood idle awaiting on who will take the first move on this naval battle...
MARCH 17, 2023
The white house...
Oval office...
"Mister president.." an agent said while she walked towards the president, more agents were walking around the office in a panic holding folders or paperwork. The agent added "Nasa has confirmed.. its colliding with earth"
The president, Jackson heithcliff, gave a worried expression before replying "Well that just makes things worse.. *sigh* any reports about the public?"
The agent took a moment to reply "The panic is increasing as we speak.. riots are happening on every street in every capital, texas having the most riots. All Law enforcement officers have been dispatched from all stations to handle it but it didnt seem to calm the public down.."
The president was building up stress every second as time passes by. He then gave orders to the agent "I want you to handle this ASAP, meanwhile i. Will have an important phone call to make and i want everyone out of this room to get out immediately.."
As soon everyone got out of the office, jackson then picked up the telephone and dialed a number on it. Couple of seconds later someone picked up the phone "mister president..."
"Evan... Give me the reports on your team's findings.." The president said in a panicking tone. "Everyone here in nasa is working their asses off.. but we cannot find a solution to figure this problem but we will work on it as fast as possible"
"I want you to double time on it the people are desperate for survival for christ sake, if you find a way to evade this planet then do it right now!" The president then slammed the phone before evan could reply.
He then rubbed his face out of anger, he then leaned back against his chair. Desperate for survival he then got out of the office and headed somewhere out of the white house.
JAPAN
The people in the country was in awe as the rogue planet appeared and the clouds moved away from the blue skies. The planet blocked the sunlight filling almost all of the areas on the country with complete and utter darkness from miles and miles to away.
Wide spread panic ravaged through the streets of tokyo, riots and theft and a ton of crimes were committed left and right whilst the police were struggling to control the situation and eventually had to call in SWAT personnel to handle the situation.
And also the JGSDF was dispatched to evacuate the people from danger zones where riots are the most violent, casualties were reported all over the world most were civilian and police casualties.
CHINA
The chinese government was too struggling on the rogue planet situation, due to their large population crime rate was skyrocketing in immense height, police sirens heard throughout all states. The riot officers were given authority to involve violence over the civilians in an attempt to scare off the rioters.
Police officers arrested people from left to right due to robbery or theft to violent attacks or even murder. The Chinese government was spending a fortune to atleast calm down the public from panicking.
UNITED STATES..
In the U.S the police forces were too having a tough time solving the same issues. Traffic was everywhere in the city, towns were littered with all sorts of garbage and abandoned cars, screams and panic ravaged the city of new york like a plague, the big advertisement screens in times square was only broadcasting the live feed of the rogue planet heading towards earth.
NASA was giving their best they called in all workers in the station to come up with a way to evade the planet. The planet is expected to hit earth in between 3-4 hours or maybe longer from the speed the planet was travelling on but claims have been told that maybe the planet will gain speed as it got closer to earth's gravitational pull.
The International space station or ISS is currently showing a live feed of the rogue planet and what it looks like. The strange thing is, its roughly similar to earth from the blue seas to the greenish plains.
What differentiates the planet from earth is the size and the land forms, it was 25% more bigger than earth which doesn't really make a difference unless you see it from millions of kilometers away. What's weird is that even though the planet has greater mass it's the one getting dragged like its weight was lesser than of earth's and has a weaker gravitational pull.
It was not confirmed yet if any alien beings reside in the planet but it didnt matter for NASA if they dont act now whatever resides in that planet and the human race it will be all wiped out if they do nothing... but nothing can ever evade them from this catastrophe unless a miracle were to ever happen.
1 HOUR LEFT TIL COLLISION
In japan, the rogue planet was very close to earth, NASA thought the ISS was destroyed by the planet. The live feed of the ISS went black inside the NASA HQ and people couldn't gain any signal to the workers inside the station which further proves their claims that the ISS is long gone.
30 MINUTES LEFT TIL COLLISION
All problems around every country has seemed to calm down, alot of people were heavily injured and casualties ranged to the hundreds or even thousands, aftermath of riots have greatly damaged alot of buildings and streets.
The U.S president has held a meeting with government officials on how to solve this issue. NASA still hasn't found a way to evade the collision and hopes seemed to be non-existent at this point but the people tried to keep their hopes up.
10 MINUTES BEFORE COLLISION
Despite the people inside the NASA HQ thought the ISS was destroyed, the screen flickered on the screen connected to the cameras of the ISS.
The live feed went back online, the ISS seemed to have survived but it was unknown where the station currently was. They tried to contact the people onboard the station but no reply was given until they realized they can't send any signal to them somehow.
The planet is expected to enter earth's atmosphere in a couple of seconds, but suddenly something happened.. something weird..
As the rogue planet seemed to enter the earth's atmosphere it began emitting a strange thick gray fog, it got bigger and bigger as the planet enters inside the earth's atmosphere.
Japanese citizens were in awe as what they're seeing is something that never happened in their lifetime. The japanese government immediately ordered the JSDF to be on high alert as it was unclear if this was truly an alien invasion or something supernatural.
Inside NASA, workers from researchers and top scientist were taken aback by the seemingly hard to believe phenomenon happening on their very eyes. The rogue planet was merging with mother earth, it needs to be fake, it has to be.. right? No. It was all real, others in the facility pinched themselves to prove they're asleep but clearly they were awake and this phenomenon is happening at the very front of their eyes and everything the screen displayed was real which just gives more questions than answers, what is happening?..
RUSSIA
The people in russia stepped out of their homes witnessing the event happening above them, the rogue planet may have covered most of the sunlight but the flashing blue lights is visible in the distance slowly consuming their entire country, it was a horrifying sight for anyone even for the bravest souls.
CHINA
China being the close to japan they were too also witnessing the abnormal event, both countries had their military on standby incase of any attack might happen. Meanwhile the citizens were busy taking photo's of the planet like how normal people would do these days, and as the same as russia the fog was consuming their country aswell.
Nearby countries were also seeing the event unfold on their eyes. Alot of people were panicking thinking this was an attempt for aliens to raid planet earth but that wasn't confirmed yet nor will it ever be..
Several hours later, the rogue planet was halfway through the earth. Scientist from all over the world have come to the same conclusion that this planet maybe phasing inside or through the earth as there was literally no logical answers left besides that. Their claims will be proven mostly correct when a report from nasa reached the U.S government.
President jackson, although relieved him and his country were able to see another day was then hit with another problem. An agent barged inside his office in a shocked tone.
"President.. you gotta hear this.." the agent said in distress.
"Tell me everything, what did they find?" The president replied.
The agent then started speaking "Reports arent 100% confirmed yet, but we noticed weird changes to earth... its growing in size sir.."
The president let it sink in before replying "what..." A soft word exited out of his mouth.
The agent then explained "well sir, it appears as this rogue planet entered in our atmosphere somehow the two planets are combining into one planet, but its not affecting us nor our surroundings.. but we have noticed the moon is currently moving in a fast pace and we're expecting to see the sun in about an hour or so.."
"That can't be good.." the president mumbled, he then added in a more clearer voice tone, "if that planet is phasing in our planet then whatever resides there.. is getting transported here in our lands.. and we dont know what kind of creatures that lives there, so if thats true.. i want national guard, the navy, and the military to be on full alert in case of any attacks has been sighted."
Before the agent could reply to the president, another agent entered the office in a hurry she then informed the president while regaining her breathe, "sir, im sorry to bother. But it seems that japan's navy has spotted something far away from their lands.. its covered in fog making it tough to determine what's in the place.."
The president sighed "two problems at once, thats just great.. if its spotted not near from japan then im certain its near our country.. just as i said, inform the navy of this and the coast guard tell them if they see weird anomalies do not hesitate to shoot it down, missiles, guns, anything.."
"Yes sir." The two agents said before exiting the office.
1 HOUR HAS PASSED...
The sunrise emerged from the mountains as it shines over the cities of america. Every country seemed to be in the day side of earth, the earth was growing exponentially as the rogue planet became smaller and smaller as it kept going in the earth's atmosphere like earth herself is absorbing its mass like how water in a bucket slowly gets filled up as more water is poured in the bucket.
Problems like changes of gravity or earth's ecosystem having problems seem to not occur as the earth gets big in her size. It was twice as big as it was before nothing weird is happening besides weird landforms are appearing from the night side of earth, but some of these landforms were able to reach the day side of earth but only a quarter of it.
2 HOURS HAVE PASSED...
The rogue planet has completely disappeared nowhere to be seen, earth has grown 2x the size and it appears that it has stopped growing. The fog was slowly fading away from the unknown landforms but it was still not known what resides there.
All countries around the world have their military be on full alert, all experimental weaponry were on standby for use in case they might be useful against the attackers in case they ever invaded one of their cities.
Military zones were being stationed all over civilian occupied places like outposts and checkpoints, the countries that are near the unknown landforms are japan, russia, and all of north and south america and they are the most heavily guarded by the military especially the coastal areas.
The U.S officially announced DEFCON 4 and will later change to DEFCON 3 if things get serious. Russia brought back their cold war side and has been reported by russian news outlets that they are readying their nuclear weapons for any invasion, one russian soldier claimed, "its getting serious here, aliens going to attack us soon doesn't sound very good of news.. for the western people our actions will be called DEFCON 1 from the nukes being ready for launch."
2 DAYS LATER
The U.S was the first to launch multiple recon drones to scout the nearby lands, they were prohibited to go near the land further to avoid detection from the enemy. They managed to capture what seemed to be ports made out of wood and stone what resides there is still unknown.
Currently china and india were the most heavily affected ones of the aftermath from riots and other kinds of vandalization. They are currently focused on repairing their cities and towns in the moment but they still have military personnel on standby.
The public was still in fear for any potential attack which causes problems like people going mentally crazy or people not wanting to go to work due to the uprising fear of aliens taking over their planet.
Overall nothing has happened yet it was still unknown if these creatures are human or not, they are also not confirmed to be hostile, friendly, or neutral.
1 WEEK LATER..
The public seemed to have calmed down a bit but some were still worried about potential invasions. Military zones were heavily fortified, america was going all out on their defense making sure nothing is getting in or near one of their capitals. About damn time they made good use of their 800 billion dollar defense budget.
President jackson sat on his office busy fixing on broken buildings from the aftermath of riots and maintaining its economic crisis after theft was going wild throughout the country or the entire world. An agent then entered the office to report the president on their recent findings.
"Mister president, reports of our reconnaissance aircraft has been delivered."
The agent handed the president a folder filled with pictures, it shows a city and different angles of it, it looked ancient similar to a medieval kingdom it had thick walls but the height was unknown due to the birds eye view of the photo, but it was enough to know theres civilization inside those lands.
The drone seemed to also have captured weird flying creatures circling around the city, in the center a huge castle like structure heavily guarded by what seems to be giant creatures wielding hammers while small ones that weirdly look like humans.
"Hm.. this.. changes alot of things.. i want these images handed out to NASA, im pretty sure they can figure this out.. and i would like to know who these gentlemen are and if they are a threat to our nation."
"Surely mister president, ill take my leave." The agent walked out of the office leaving the president alone with his guards.
2 MONTHS LATER..
Several weeks have passed and no invasion nor attempted attacks on naval vessels have ever been recorded by any country. The unknown lands has now been identified as the "special regions" by NASA and they are planning for ground investigation instead of aerial ones because they wanted to go deeper.
They havent been given authority yet by the U.S government but it will not be long for them to view the special regions as a friendly place. The U.S lowered down its defenses removing military outposts and checkpoints out of civilian occupied places since it was causing negative impact for the public.
The public is calm most of the time, people were just going through their normal lives, people seemed to have went back to work, schools reopened, and cities were being cleaned up and fixed.
Although the defenses were lowered there were still guard towers throughout the beaches of U.S capitals occupied by marines. Coast guards were still on patrol on the sea's although the cutters weren't heavily armed they were still armed with .50 cal machine guns and one small main battery turret.
Though the U.S is slowly viewing the special region to be friendly or maybe neutral and are planning to establish peaceful contacts to them, but those plans will not be put to work as in the distance of the beaches of san francisco multiple silhouettes emerged from the blinding sunlight that shined on the blue waters.
"General! We have a problem.." a marine private said to the general who was walking around the control room of the base in camp Pendleton.
"What is it private?" Asked the general, revealing multiple red dots on the display screen of the marine's computer the general was immediately alarmed by it "what.. the fuck are those.." he mumbled silently.
"I have no clue, should we send reinforcements to the bay?" Asked the private.
The general gave a firm nod, "send everyone to support the bay.. shit, the problem is this invasion force is far away from us.. it'll take a damn hour to get our asses there so we need to move now! Contact all marines at the bay and inform them on the situation!"
SAN FRANCISCO INCIDENT
11:25 AM...
(SAN FRANCISCO BEACH)
A marine was smoking a cigar stick outside on his watch tower, inside the tower his teammate another marine was reading a book on the table, feet resting on the window.
10 watch towers were guarding the beaches of san francisco, the marine puffed out the smoke of his cigar as he looked at the beautiful blue waters of the beach.
He looked at the people enjoying their time swimming on the waters or making sand castles. He then looked back at the beach and his eyes squinched and he stood still on where he was, he then grabbed his cigar out of his mouth before calling his friend over.
"Mike..." he said.
"Yeah what?" His friend replied.
"Come here now, you gotta see this.." he said in a demanding tone.
His friend sighed before getting up his chair and walked outside "what is it now..." He looked in the distance filled with confusion visible on his face.
Infront of them was a fleet of not one or two.. but a hundred ships sailed towards the capital.
It didnt look like no average modern fleet, it had white sails, made out of wood with canons on the side and front of the vessel, it had thin yellow plates of gold under the railings of the ship.
Smaller boats appeared behind the big vessels similar to designs but with no sails and only humanoid beings using paddles to row the boats towards the shore.
"What.. the.. fuck..." the marine said silently.
"Son of a bitch!" His teammate said before running to the alarm button and slamming it.
Alarms started going off near the watch towers alarming the guards inside it. They all watched in shock as the massive fleet drew closer and closer to the shores.
"What do we do?" The marine asked to his teammate.
"I dont know.. the commander is probably requesting reinforcements, for now weapons are free."
"Copy.."
The two grabbed their rifles, one checked his magazine while the other cocks his rifle. "Are they friendly?" The marine asked.
His teammate gave a gentle shrug "no clue, but keep your guard up. A hundred ships on our coast is just screaming red flags.."
The ships drew closer and closer, multiple police cars shortly arrived at the scene they immediately ordered everyone on the beach to get to shore, because of the recent appearances of these lands the U.S has practiced protocols if any strange anomalies has been spotted possibly coming from the uncontacted lands, the U.S military will be working with the law enforcement mainly the SWAT to strategize their way to defend the coastal areas of the states closest to the ocean in case some alien species ever attacked.
On the commander's watch tower the lieutenant commander had a report coming from camp Pendleton, "Zulu-1 from HQ, there seems to be multiple entities caught on by our radar, your free to engage we dont know what they are, give us a detail now we're sending forces there ETA-2 hours!"
"This is zulu-1, HQ i dont know what kind of fairy tale we're in but theres a hundred thousand pirate boats coming towards san francisco! How the fuck did you guys not spot them?!" The lieutenant screamed on the comms.
"Dont worry Zebra, we're sending the SFPD to support you and SWAT personnel, the pre-" the communication line suddenly came to a stop as static filled the air.
"HQ? HQ! Do you copy? HQ? Fuck!.." the marine cursed out as he tried getting a signal, "the things broken!"
Using the radio on him he tried contacting the base but the results are still the same.
"Communication of base has been busted, i cant contact anyone.. what the hell happened?"
"Impossible.." mumbled a marine, "theres gotta be some EMP shit that took our comms down!"
"Let me try radioing my men.." the marine said before contacting his men via radio, "All units! Do you copy?"
"Yeah, crystal, we see the ships commander.." a marine responded back to the lieutenant.
The commander looked at the marine behind him, "how the hell are we not able to contact the base.. somethings not right.."
"Its some kind of interference with our communication systems.. ever since that whole event happened we've been having trouble trying to communicate other bases sometimes." The marine replied.
"Its probably some kind of storm, its been happening from here to asia, its happening everywhere.. and if i remember they call it a dead storm.." the commander said, he gave himself a few seconds of breathe before continuing, "its.. basically some kind of anomaly interfering with our communications, but electronics still work fine including radars.. this is something not normal.."
As the commanding lieutenant looked on the shore as the strange wooden vessels drew closer, he can feel the sense of immanent danger crawling closer to him.
Couple of minutes passed by and the SFPD came towards the beach and evacuated the people out of the beach as the wooden vessels draw closer.
"Where's the damn navy at?" A marine private asked the senior marine.
"I dont fucking know, we're on our own.. we're dead silent.. we can't contact the base.." the marine replied.
"Shit.." the private cursed out.
While SWAT personnel unloaded from their armored trucks and escorted more civilians out of the beach area and towards the city, the unknown fleet is now proving themselves they are not who the americans thought they were, being friendly peaceful...
Suddenly fireballs the size of a whole doorframe were shot from the unknown vessels and it hurdled towards the shore, "INCOMING FIRE!!" A marine yelled before the place was bombarded by fireballs.
One managed to hit two towers one where the commander was in, fortunately they managed to make it out alive with minimal injury but the bad thing is their communication radio was burned down.
"SHIT, Everyone hang ooon!!" the lieutenant screamed as the entire tower came tumbling down a fiery crash.
Some fireballs hit a group of police officers aswell as civilians burning them with agonizing pain, screams from terrified civilians covered the beaches of san francisco as the ships started sailing closer and closer to the shores ready to dock.
The small boats reached the beach first and it unloaded a hundred soldiers that looked like they were from the medieval era preferably roman legionnaires, some boats carry 4 giant ogres they carry giant hammers or giant logs, something straight out of a kid's bedtime story.
Goblins and orcs also emerged from the ships and they started running towards the civilians without hesitation killing them all from women to children, even the elderly we're not spared mercy, the goblins were disgusting little creatures who has a strong intention of raping women.
"Open fire!!!!" A marine yelled out before they started unloading their rifles at the attackers, some drop dead on the ground but suddenly a rain of arrows started pouring down towards the towers.
"Shit!" The marines immediately took cover 2 marines were hit on the leg or arm by an arrow.
"FUCK! there's a shit ton of them!" A marine said, another then added "Fuck! They got air units!!" They looked at the sky as hundreds of wyverns or what the marines mistaken them as dragons, flew towards the beach with men riding on top of the creatures.
Some carry wooden boxes, the beasts claws let go of the containers and dropped it on the ground as it smashed open, a giant emerged out of it carrying a wooden bat letting out a blood curdling roar that shivers the spine of those who heard it.
One giant was making their way towards the watch towers, as it got closer it was then showered with gunfire by the two marines on the tower. Its flesh was punctured by bullets tearing off big chunks of the giant's face until their magazines ran out.
The giant dropped dead near the siren as its blood stained the sand and dirt. "Thats one hell of an ugly bastard..." one marine mumbled.
Whilst the battle commenced in the beaches and the people were filled with fear and panic as they were being slaughtered by the unknown attackers.. A guy, alex finzel, a 35 year old half korean and half white individual, 6 feet tall, single, and was a loser in his highschool to college life.
He woke up 20 minutes ago and he was making his morning cup of coffee not caring it was almost lunch. He always wakes up super late since he always sleeps late since he works as a marine first lieutenant in the USMC and yet he never had the intention of getting a higher rank than lieutenant as it was too much of a responsibility to take and alex's quote, "im too lazy for that."
He yawned, tired from yesterday's work not knowing not so far from him a gruesome battle was happening. But he was unaware by it since his apartment was far enough where he couldn't see or hear anything from the busy traffic and people having their normal lives.
He did heard distant police sirens but he didnt bother much as it was not rare for any sirens to start playing throughout the capital, after he drank his coffee he then grabbed a small towel and walked towards the bathroom.
He turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on his face before washing his face, he then washed all the soap off and wiped the water off his face with the towel looking at himself in the mirror feeling more awake.
He fixed his hair and rubbed his sleep eyes before he went outside the bathroom.
"Fuuuckkk... another boring day sitting at home.." he said in dissapointment.
"Im not even gonna bother watching TV news these days are all focused on the special regions.. they've cut off my wifi after i forgot to pay it aswell.."
He then grabbed his phone and checked the time. But he failed to notice a silhouette of a wyvern passing by on the distance of his apartment building on top of the tall buildings.
"12:15... ugh.. slept 11 hours today.. i should honestly get myself a vacation.."
He then put his phone down on the table, he went to the fridge and grabbed the milk container and a box of cereal. He opened the milk container and smelled it and gagged.
He sighed, "Spoiled... thats great, now i have to go to the market again.. might aswell check what i dont have."
He then walked towards the fridge again, but suddenly he heard a loud screech in the distance and a ton of police sirens. Gunshots and screams too filled the air finally catching alex's attention.
"Huh...?" He slowly walked towards the window, he peaked outside the window blinds he saw a square formation of soldiers marching slowly on the street, they attack everything on their way, more of these soldiers then appeared riding horses trampling over civilians as they stab them with their spears turning civilians into human kebabs.
"What the fuck?" He then backed away from the window, without hesitation. He then grabbed a jacket, put on his pants, socks, and his shoes on before walking towards his drawer.
He opened a locked drawer with a key, in it is a M1911 with a couple of magazines he bought from a gun store as a self-defense weapon. He grabbed the weapon and immediately and loaded the firearm, lock and loaded he was ready for a fight.
He opened his door and exited his room and made his way outside the apartment building in a fast pace stopping by to see the hallways if any hostiles got inside. Outside screams and roars were everywhere it reminded him of a certain event he had on his duty but he shook it off.
He took the stairs as the elevator was too risky to use, he has his pistol up while he quickly walked down the stairs to the bottom floor.
He then arrived there unharmed, he opened the door slowly the first floor of the building was severely damaged and was ransacked, bodies litter the floors, alex slowly checked the bodies if they were alive.
"Warm.. they've been killed recently.. shit.. that means the attackers might still be in here." His breathe became shaky.
A man screamed in the distance two people a male and a female was running from what seems to be a person wearing ancient armor made of a combination of leather, chainmail, and steel, he was carrying a dagger with a rectangular shield.
But he was fighting a civilian his arms were holding back the arm of the soldier where the sword was he was desperate to defend himself, 4 more of those soldiers appeared and one was about to stab the man before he was shot dead by alex with his M1911.
3 more soldiers appeared after the loud gunshot echoed through the building. "Kill that barbarian mage!" One of the soldiers said, alex didn't understand what he said because for him it sounded like gibberish.
The enemy soldiers charged towards him and without hesitation fired at them. Each round pierces through the soldier's skull killing him instantly.
One by one the soldiers dropped dead until there was only one left who was dealing with the civilian, he was still busy gaining the upper hand of the attacking civilian which gave alex enough time to reload his gun and shot the soldier dead.
The man although weak was thankful for alex from saving him, "i owe you one.." he said to alex, he was then helped by the two other civilians and hurried out of the building before more enemies arrive.
A convoy of police cars passed by the exit hitting enemy cavalry units while some officers shoot down enemy units from the windows with smg's and rifles they had in stock.
Alex then got out of the building he ran to the other side of the street while the civilians ran to safety in the nearest building with other survivors, the streets were filled with chaos as the SFPD tried their best to fend off the attackers while in their HQ they frantically tried radioing the army or the marines but to not avail as the dead storm made it impossible.
"What the hell is going on?" Alex asked himself, a police car was then flipped over by a wyvern as it landed on the ground and started attacking the police officers, "well.. that's what's going on i guess.." he said. The bullets ricochet off the scales but one officer managed to find the weakness, its belly, they started firing at the creature's belly before it dropped dead by the gunshots but they lost 3 of their men from the teeth of the beast.
Huge boulders crashed towards the tall buildings shattering and raining down shards of glass while fireballs burned down everything out of their path. Mages defended by soldiers casting spells to the poor civilians killing them by lightning, or by fire.
Some mages summoned golems and hurdled rocks at the swat trucks flipping them on their sides flinging the people inside of the truck.
Although The SFPD was struggling they were giving a good fight towards the unknown attackers.
But it was not long until the ships have fully docked on the shore and unloaded the rest of the army on the land, the SFPD was overwhelmed by the sheer numbers and lost control of half of the city in half an hour.
The marines were forced to abandon the beach for the sake of survival, the USN were heading their way to the battle zone in a couple of minutes no signs of the dead storm going away yet and camp Pendleton was still unresponsive.
"Damn it, at times like this why is the army not here?!" Alex yelled out, he then grabbed an SMG from a dead officer with 2 magazines and placed it in his right pocket.
He came across 4 marines making their way to safety, he ran towards them and immediately asked questions.
"Hey, you guys were at the beach?"
"Yeah kid, you a soldier or smthin?"
Alex gave a second while panting aggressively "yeah.. marine first lieutenant. Tell me what the fuck is going on here"
"No idea kid, they started attacking us, their numbers are reaching in the hundred thousands we cant do shit we need to wait for reinforcements, they told us they're sending men before comms were cut off.." One of the marines said in a tired tone.
Most of the marines were now using their side arm since their rifles were depleted of ammo, they have gotten no reports from the USAF, USN, or USMC bases and communication was dead silent at this point for the marines inside san Francisco.
A loud gigantic roar echoed through the streets as a turtle and porcupine hybrid like monster, elgoor, slowly walked towards the pile of dead bodies as it smashed through cars and trucks flattening them.
On top a person wearing royal armor covered in gold and other decorations stood accompanied by knights on his side.
He then raised his palm and gave out a speech towards the people "To our lord of the empire of Al khazar, we shall steal these lands from the barbarians and claim victory as our flag waves over this defeated and weak EMPIRE!!!"
As his words echoed through the city the soldiers chanted a war cry, their spears hit the ground their swords bashing their shields as they continued destroying the city.
"So thats their general im guessing.." one of the marines said.
"Definitely is, stay hidden we dont want to get caught by them.." alex replied.
The general, Giro El hydro, stood confidently after his powerful speech he gave to his army for a good morale boost. One of his knights then started speaking in a concerned tone like he was getting anxious.
"My lord.. forgive me, but.. why does this feel too easy.." he said.
The general looked at the knight "easy?"
"Look at these structures.. they are tall almost reaching the heavens, not even our people can build something like these and yet.. we managed to conquer these lands with ease despite they manage to build these magnificent structures."
The general scuffed "they may have knowledge in architecture, but it appears they havent experienced what true war is. Its not about how big and tall the structure is.. if the army is fragile and weak it will crumble down and fall..."
The knight then replied, "I do not know my lord.. we may have stumbled to lands.. far more unknown that we have ever encountered before..."
THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE..
40 enemy vessels were sailing towards the golden gate bridge ready to destroy it, "man the canons fire at that iron bridge til it crumbles down at the seas!" The captain yelled out.
The ships sailed closer and closer to the bridge, the captain waiting for his fleet to destroy it. Their vessels sailed proudly and towards the golden gate bride, his eyes wants to see that big red bridge crumble down to the ocean floor by his men.
But even if the entire fleet was filled with orders of his men and the crashing of water hitting the hull. Without even a word to describe how load it was, the nearest ship went ablaze also destroying the ship behind it in a single shot. The roaring of explosions deafened the captain and pushed him off his feet.
"What the hell!?" The captain cursed out, "who shot that damn canon ball at us!?"
"Sir! It appears there's enemy vessels at our front!" A young sailor said to the captain.
"Where in the world!?" The captain got back up his feet and extended the telescope on his waist which he snatched.
Seeing five sharp angled vessels that were bigger in size of their ships, no sails but it can move, no crew on sight, and its made of metal far far away from them, but they can still see them with the help of telescopes.
"How the hell does metal float on the water!? That is sorcerery!" The captain blatter out.
The smoking turret of the arleigh burke class destroyer indicated that they were the ones who attacked them. But at this much range? How is that even possible?.
"Tsk, roll down sails and get close to those ships!" The captain barked out orders, "keep firing the front canons til one of it hits those damn iron boats!"
The destroyers marked the fleet as hostile seeing it firing their canons but it was foolish for them to fire a medieval canon at modern battleships in that insane of a distance, a man's voice was heard "MAIN BATTERY READY!!.. FIRE!!" The destroyers fired their canons destroying 5 ships in one hit while damaging surrounding ships and also destroying the ships behind each ship that got hit.
"W-what.. the.. hell..." the captain said in fear his voice almost trembling with a shaky breathe almost kneeling to sounds of the explosions.
"Captain! 9 vessels are completely destroyed one is immobilized!!"
"DAMN IT! SAIL FASTER!!"
The fleet kept moving closer and closer to the vessels, a male voice was then heard again "2ND BARRAGE!!.. FIRE!!" the destroyers then fired another round off their turret destroying 5 more ships.
"Captain!! We're loosing vessels!"
"MOOOOOVE!!"
"3RD BARRAGE.. FIRE!!"
the ships fired another barrage greatly reducing their numbers.
"Damn it!!! TURN TO PORT SIDE!! RETREAT! RETREAT!"
The ships turned a hard left trying to escape the barrage of shots from the arleigh's battery canon.
"Damn it! RUN!" The captain yelled out.
The destroyers then fired another barrage of shells and it destroyed 3 vessels, one was near the captain's ship the explosion was enough to knock the captain off its feet.
7 vessels remain 4 are immobilized and a couple are damaged. The fleet was desperate to get away from this fleet of iron ships.
8 wyverns then appeared from the capital and are headed towards the destroyer class, RIM-116 Anti-air systems immediately fired at the incoming wyverns.
The rockets exploded upon reaching the wyverns turning the creatures in red mist and chunks of flesh. 3 managed to survive but are shot dead by a CIWS tearing them apart staining the sea with blood.
The destroyers continued focusing fire on the enemy fleet pumping round after round of shells at the enemy. One by one the vessels exploded into a fiery mess as they sink to the bottom of the ocean floor.
"DAMN BEASTS! THIS ISN'T A BATTLE!! THIS IS A MASSACRE!!" The captain yelled out before his ship was blown to smithereens killing him and his crew onboard.
3 F-35 lightning IIs passed by the fleet and made their way towards the capital. On one of the radio of the marines it began emiting static before a voice was heard.
"Scepter 24, moving to your position T-minus 10 seconds, standby."
After that the marine stood up and informed the group "listen! We got air support online they're heading towards our position i dont know what their plans are but lets get the fuck out of this place."
Alex walked towards the marine "where the hell are we at then?!"
The marine took a moment to reply "judging by the enemy general literally behind us.. its safe to say we're at the heart of the attack."
The F-35s formed a slanted line formation while heading towards the city. "Air boogies 12 o' clock locking on target."
The wyverns heard loud roars as they look to their sides and saw three flying metal dragons heading towards them. They flapped their wings and started calling other wyverns nearby.
They started heading towards the F-35s, as they got closer without warning they were immediately shot at by AIM-120 air to air missiles tearing their scales and and flesh apart.
They fall from the sky their blood rained down on the ground as the F-35s flew past the corpses. They launched several missiles at the remaining wyverns, the wyverns tried to dodge the missiles but they were turned into chunks of flesh and guts.
"All aerial targets neutralized, requesting aerial bombardment, over."
Back on the capital, out of the thick smoke an M1A2 SepV3 abrams made its way towards the battlefield, with it humvee's, and LAVs unloading marines on the ground.
The 9th artillery field regiment was stationed 30 yards away, the 31st airborne division is making their entrance at this second.
Near the marines was a huge division of enemy legionnaires approximately 5 legions big, "move forward men! Kill all these damn barbarians without mercy! Attaaack!!" One of the legionnaires shouted to his comrades.
Suddenly they saw iron behemoths some big some small, they were accompanied by men wearing what seems to be tanned clothing, they carry black metal rods that were pointed directly at them.
One of the marines shouted "stand where you are! Move one step closer and we will open fire!!" He threatened them.
The enemy responded in a language unknown to the americans "You dare threaten the al khazarian empire and it's men, you stand before us as you request a battle.. you will die on your lands as we march over your dead bodies as we claim victory on your empire!!" Silence filled the air as his words echoed around.
"The fuck did he said?" One marine asked, "no idea" another responded.
The legionnaires blocked themselves with their shields and spears poked through the shield formation, they slowly walked forward to the marines readying themselves for battle.
The marines raised their rifles, putting their finger on the trigger and waited patiently to fire.
"Seriously? Shields? Who the hell do they think they are? Knights?" A marine said.
Their commander gave the orders, "open fire!" and without hesitation they started raining a hail of gunfire towards the enemy.
One by one they drop dead on the ground as bullets pierced through their shields and armor. Their numbers were slowly depleting until only a couple were left alive, some retreated while some surrendered to the marines.
"Please! Mercy! Please!!" A legionary pleaded at the approaching marines.
They detained the surrending enemy soldiers the others shot down the retreating units, taking down retreating units in his scenario is allowed since they were classified as terrorists and were ordered to show no mercy unless they surrender. While the division was busy pushing back the enemy's advance another division arrived on the other side of the capital.
The 45th mechanized army infantry division made their way towards the heart of the capital killing and destroying every hostile in sight. The artillery regiment fired down at the ballistas and trebuchets once they were spotted and coordinates were found.
The enemy units were horrified by the iron creatures and were forced to retreat and halt their advance.
Just in time, the airborne division arrived at the battle, apache's and blackhawk's passed by the dust and rubble. The apaches rained a shower of bullets on the ogre's and giants, they were no match against the firepower as their bodies were decimated their flesh and guts were blown off creating a bloody mess.
Rockets were fired on the stone golems turning them into rubble. The mages tried firing at the apache's some were able to hit but it only burned the outer armor of the chopper they didnt suffer serious damage but had to return to base after some of their weapon systems were broken.
the mages were now involved they casted a shield dome around a group of soldiers, but it didnt took long for the shield to break as the immense power the abram tanks were too much for the shield to hold off. Even HEAT rounds were enough to crack the mana shields with ease.
The enemy general was unaware on what is happening until a knight riding a horse was going towards him in a hurry. The knight started making his way on the creature where the general was riding.
"My lord! I bring you some distressing news, a huge number of our forces are being wiped out by the barbarians and they are advancing towards us in an alarming pace!"
The general shocked, said "what?! How is that possible we have overwhelmed them significantly! What do these soldiers look like?!"
"Well my lord, they appear to wear some sort of tannish clothing, they wield strange iron rods that seem to shoot out something glowing"
"What kind of mages do these barbarians have, sounds like dark magic to me. Let the mages take care of them!"
"Sir... almost all of our magic units have been killed off by the enemy.." the knight said.
The general in shock started yelling, "how are we loosing we just got here a couple of hours ago?! What could have possibly-"
2 viper helicopters from camp Pendleton pass by above the general and his guards. They were astonished by the loud sounds of the attack helicopters.
"Dear emroy..." the general said silently as the humming of the vipers filled the silent air.
"Those are demons!! Where are our wyverns?!" A knight commander yelled out.
"I dont know! I dont see any of our wyverns on the air! Did those things killed them all??" A soldier said.
"Impossible.. i only saw two.. are there more of those things.." the general said in a terrified and silent tone.
In one of the F-35 squadrons that circled around the location where Giro was the leading pilot was talking to someone on radio "scepter 24, we seem to have spotted the enemy general, requesting permission to neutralize target."
All he heard was static before a male voice responded to him "scepter 24 from actual, permission granted. Over."
The 3 F-35's started to make their way back to the enemy general's position, they opened their payload hatch and waited for the right moment to drop the guided paveway bombs.
Suddenly before the commanding pilot could yell out orders he noticed for a split second what looks like to be civilians held captive by the enemy that was dangerously near the general for its blast radius.
"SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! ABORT I REPEAT ABORT ATTACK CIVILIANS SPOTTED ON THE ZONE PULL BACK, PULL BACK!!" The pilot said in a panicking tone.
Immediately the F-35s closed back their hatch and immediately flew away from the general's position.
The commanding pilot breathing heavily from the close call immediately contacted the divisions on the ground.
The general looked above seeing the F-35s, "demons.. iron demons.. from hell.. What. Is this place?" His voice said filled with fear.
"This is scepter, we spotted hostages 3 clicks from your position.. it appears the general is there aswell, better get your asses there fast before they get executed.. we cant do shit without killing one or two civilians, its up to you guys, scepter out."
The F-35s flew by the 1st marine division, the 2nd army division was busy fighting off a horde of enemy units. The commander of the 1st division immediately gave orders.
"Alright people listen up, we got hostages our objective has been changed this is a search and rescue mission from now on, i want our armored vehicles to provide cover fire as we made our way to the exact location we gotta do this fast or else they might change their position. Lets move people!!"
The abrams moved forward, the humvee's were following them alongside the LAV-25s, ground troops followed the convoy checking every nook and cranny on every building they pass.
They gunned down enemy soldiers attacking their position easily killing them with their weapons, the abrams fired at the mages making sure they cant do serious damage towards the ground units.
"2 clicks away from enemy position be on your guard" someone said in the radio. 2 viper's then passed by the advancing division and started gunning down enemy troops.
Slowly but surely they finally reached their designation, they saw a huge enemy force but luckily for them the 3rd army division arrived. They appeared from the left flank, APC's and IFV's ran over the rubble unloading a ton of army troops.
Accompanied by the division an A-10 sent from a USAF base was making its way towards the capital as we speak.
They started going to their positions as they reached closer and closer to the enemy.
"Hostages 3o' clock.. theres a hundred.. badly injured, some elderly and children.." a marine said.
"The fuck are they tryna do to those people.."
"No idea.."
Once they saw the enemy without hesitation from rifles to tank barrels to the guns of the LAV-25s to machine guns all fired upon the surprised enemy.
"GAH!! ITS THOSE MAGES, KILL THEM ALL!!" a knight commander yelled out.
The enemy started running towards the marines but they were gunned down the moment they dared to go anywhere near them. Bodies stacked on each other as a the rifle of each marine gets lighter and lighter as each bullet fires from the barrel and each casing gets ejected out of the firearm.
A huge group of enemy legionnaires were gunned down by an A-10 gun run, the enemy was loosing men left and right from ogres, to goblins, to siege weapons.
The enemy general although shocked by the sudden attack he then grabbed the whip beside him and whipped the beast he was riding and ordered it to attack the marines.
The beast roared in anger showing its sharp fangs as its saliva drips off its mouth. It started running towards one of the abrams, it ducked its head and prepared to ram against the iron beast.
The abrams didnt manage to reload in time, but the driver's quick thinking he stepped on the gas and started driving towards the approaching beast.
They both crashed on each other the abrams was putting up a good fight as the beast tried to flip over the vehicle. The turret of the abrams was unable to hit the beast, the marines tried shooting at it but their bullets proved ineffective against the creature's skin.
Another abrams tank took aim at the creature and fired, it managed to pierce through the creature's skin hitting its leg as it roared in pain.
The abrams engine grew even louder as its tracks move faster and faster gaining the upper hand of the behemoth. The other abrams reloaded immediately and fired again at the creature hitting its belly but somehow it was still alive.
A mage who was riding the beast summoned a fireball and hurdled it towards the abrams, the force was enough to knock the abrams a couple of inches back. The loader was knocked off its feet as he struggled to get up.
The marines took aim at the mage and started firing but he managed to summon a shield dome just in time. Unfortunately the intense gunfire is starting to weaken the shield dome in a fast pace.
The shield dome cracked and exploded to pieces, several bullets hit the mage killing him instantly.
"Damn barbarians!! You shall not be forgiven by this act!!" He whipped the creature against ordering it to attack the marines.
It turned its attention to a group of marines and started running towards them, luckily just in time one of them fired a rocket launcher at the beast face while some fired at the creature.
The creature's face was burned by the explosion angering it even more, the general was knocked off his feet and fall on the ground beside the creature.
One tank fired behind the creature's leg tearing it off its body, it roared in pain as another tank fired at the front leg damaging it severely.
3 more abrams appeared and started providing fire support, they fired 3 shells at the same time it pierced through the body of the creature finally killing the abomination.
It dropped dead on the ground as it took its last breathe, several marines slowly went towards the dead thing and poked it with their rifles.
"Yeah that thing is totally dead.."
"Jesus.. it took like 5 tanks to kill this thing, this thing is a beast... literally..."
The enemy general although weak he was also captured by the marines along with other surviving enemy units.
The commander checked on the hostages who are being taken care of by his men and are taken to safety via Blackhawks.
Suddenly a couple of surviving enemy units emerged out of the broken buildings holding 4 civilians one with a sword on her neck.
"Shit.." the commander said.
He started speaking "You dare mock the great army of al khazar with your pitiful dark magic, lets see how your powers hold off as we execute these women and children infront of your eyes!"
Several marines took aim at the enemy "NO DONT SHOOT!!" The commander yelled out. The marines were hesitant to lower their weapons but they had no choice.
But suddenly the enemy soldiers were killed by someone behind them.
As the enemies dropped dead on the floor alex and a couple of marines started moving towards the division.
"Lieutenant alex? Fancy seeing you here!" The commander said.
Alex although panting aggressively from the running took a moment before responding "fancy seeing you here aswell commander, im guessing you already know what the fuck is going on here, right?"
"Mhm, i know for the fact we dont know who these people or.. creatures are but they are a pain in the ass to get rid off theres like a million of them here.."
"Couldn't they possibly came from the special regions?"
The commander took a second to reply "probably.. but thats a topic we need to discuss later, surely the general wants us all to be on station by tomorrow get on one of the hawks yo safety we'll handle the rest."
Alex nodded "goodluck with that!"
Alex ran towards the blackhawks as it ready for take off, the division soon then started their advance to the enemy pushing them back even more.
The enemy left without a general were clueless on what to do, all they could ever do is to retreat or surrender.
Some ran back to the ships in an attempt to escape the onslaught, but suddenly an F-35 used their paveway bombs then unloaded its payload on the vessels destroying and severely damaging a ton of it.
The ships burned as debris fall from the skies as smoke covered the clouds.
The enemy overwhelmed with the assault had no choice but to wave a white flag signalling they are surrendering.
They lowered their swords, spears, staves, bows, and other weapons they carry and let the marines detain them and capture them and will be given time to be interrogated by authorities.
The blackhawks passed by the broken buildings and trails of smoke. Alex took one last look at the capital in ruins, all he could say was.
"Damn... hope my apartment is alright...."
