Prologue
A/N: This story takes place in the year 2016. This is my first real fic, so I don't know if it'll turn out to be good. Please, bear with me. The events in this story are all just made up. Oh, and the good stuff might not start for a while. Please, like I said before, bear with me.
Disclaimer: I don't own Lord of the Rings.
Lisa woke up to the sounds of her alarm clock waking her up. Her favourite Maroon 5 song was being streamed by the radio. She glanced at her alarm clock on the bedside table. 5:23. Ugh. A while after Lisa had graduated from West Point Military Academy, she had been dispatched to a military base in Georgia. Graduation had been great. She was more than glad to be moving on to greater things. But she hadn't known how tough Georgia army dudes would be and how much harder the real world was compared to the Academy. Every day was long and hard. She loved it, but at the same time, wanted to go home and sleep for a long while and come back again when she was fully recharged. Special Forces was so demanding.
Before she was sent to Georgia, she had been told that she would train with the Georgia people and get ready to be dispatched to Somalia to give them aid and take out the evil warlord and all that good stuff. The situation in Somalia had gotten worse and they needed all the help they could get. But what no one else outside of this base knew was that this operation was not what it seemed. No, nothing at all.
Grinning as she thought about this, Lisa got ready for the day. She tied her hair up in a tight bun and put on her usual combats. This was going to be a good day.
After breakfast, she drove her way from her house to the meeting room at headquarters. She held back her excitement as she neared the room. She had been waiting for this meeting for so long! This was the meeting where all of the operation details would be revealed. She entered the room.
"Have a seat, Lieutenant Scott", said the Colonel at the head of the long table. Colonel Long.
She replied with a respectful "sir" and sat down at her place next to her friend, Mark Brewster. The colonel started his lecture/speech/thing. "As you all know, you have all been chosen to partake in this mission. I know I don't need to say this, but I'll say it anyway. Any word of this mission to anyone outside of this base will result in an immediate release. I know none of you want to be fired. Neither can we afford that." He paused at that, and looked around the room to see that everyone was still listening. He moved on, "Research has shown that there is another world out there. Another dimension, if you will. What's more, is that we have done some tests. We've successfully sent a canine to this other world with a bug attached to it. It wound up in a medieval style city. After some speculation through the canine, we picked up some facts. The citizens of this world have the ability to fight. We retrieved the canine, with success." This earned some applause.
"While our regular forces go to Somalia to give aid, a select few from our branch will venture into said dimension. I've already picked who based on who has shown dedication and skill, so don't get too excited. Looking good in front of me now won't change anything. The remainder of you will assist in this, details will come later at a later meeting. So, travelers, your job will be to collect these fighters and bring them back here so they can assist us in this operation. You may think I'm crazy, but we need to face the truth. Desperate times call for desperate measures. As part of the UN, we need to take action. Here are the few who will venture into that world. He took out a tablet and read, "Major Calvert, Lieutenant Hall, Lieutenant Foster, and Lieutenant Scott."
Lisa gaped. Lieutenant Scott. That was her! She would go into that world! Great! That would definitely earn her something. She had always been one for battle glory.
A/N: Kinda sucky, but I hope it wasn't atrocious at least. Review!
