Black Dawn Protocol

by Plejman

Furians, future KFP animalistic society, on colony planet Minerva are defending against Human full-sacle invasion force. Will Furians manage to save their lives and planet? Battlefield in the name of full-scale battle and story characters from BF3 as guests - Campo, Matkovic, Black, Montes. Rated T for violence and language...and maybe some lemons.

A/N: Ok, I think that some words of explanation will be nice. I'm placing this right here-above to make sure that you will be informed

As a big fan of Kung Fu Panda and shooter games, I wanted to do a KFP sci-fi action story with many elements AND motives or simply - 'easter eggs' from some shooters like Halo, Battlefield and maybe Call of Duty plus some other games.

Just imagine - animalistic society from KFP are called Furians;

Instead of buliding we have heavy cruiser called 'Jade Palace' with Shifu as a shipmaster. Instead of China we have whole planet. Furious Five and my OC's from 'Adventures with Koshi' plays the role of team Furious. (though I will try to pay more attention towards the original characters from Furious Five and Po). ! And there are also humans as those bad guys.!

Furians are peacefull civilisation, highly respecting enviroment and natural fauna of other planets; they are using eco-friendly resources and tech...maybe except miltary. They are nice and helpful towards each other. Almost all their society live in peace and prosperity. Crime is rare, poverty and hunger almost unseen and unheard. They try to resolve things peacefully at first, weapons when there is no other options. When it comes to war...they have really strong military and are great, tough and skilled warriors. During the conflict they are folowing basic rules- fight military, NOT civilans; respect and treat in good way wounded enemies and war prisoners.

My main thought when thinking of the idea was 'How often animals, in many aspects are much better than mankind.'

Whole story is placed in the future, that means that we have high advanced technology, space ships and stations etc. Furians mother planet is called Firiam which sistered to Earth, and also Minerva.

This will be full-scale conflict so it will be mainly about action, action and something else. Many soldiers and people = opportunity to place all characters from KFP and maybe those games I was talking about at the beginning... and also just like in adventures - Audience Special Guests. Anyways, cut the crap and onto the story!

Original KFP characters belong to DreamWorks. This Universe and Furious 3-2 and 3-3 squad members belong to me :)

I would be really thankful for REVIEV! Tell me what do you think about this idea!

Chapter 1: The Answer to Anxiety

Two high ranked military officers were walking down the one of the many corridors, inside a large grey building towering above the other buildings. They were passing some officials, officers, guards saluting them and other employees. First one was the most respected man in military on this planet - a white lion with a rank of admiral who was wearing and very elegant white uniform with medals and many ribbons on his chest, second one was a husky, he was a 3rd class colonel. Their pace was fast and faces deadly serious. For almost a week the atmosphere in the compound was tensed to the very point.

"What's the situation, with the frigates?" Admiral aksed shortly. Taking some reports handed over to him by an officer walking past them.

"They are in position alongside with two squadrons of fighters and squadron of bombers. They waiting for further orders."

"And the relay?"

"Visegrad relay is still silent, Sir. We've sent a repair team three days ago." After this answer the lion began to walk even fatser in a hurried manner. The husky had to keep up the pace.

The higher officer shook his head slightly in disapointment "Any word from them?" they stopped in front the large door, which second later split in two parts that slid back into the wall on the both sides...simply, they opened by themself.

"No sign of life from them either."

"That's not good." And they entered a big room, there were many operation, comunication and also tactical panels on the sides for people who's job was to pass the orders for field commanders and keep them updated on the current situation. Walls were covered with some big screens showing maps of planet, 3 main continets, range of defences and other important things. In the very middle of this was situated a big table with a holographic-tactical panel. Around this table were chairs curently occupied by many high ranked officers wearing uniforms filled with medals and ribbons on their chests, from majors to generals, from canines to avians. The command centre.

The two officers took a seat at said table. The white lion grunted loudly and looked seriously at the others from left to right "Gentlemen. I think we all know why we are here. For five days we are reciving nothing but a silence from Visegrad relay, repair team was sent to fix the problem but they went silent too."

"And that means, we're cut off from Firiam (mother planet)?" one of the gathered here, who was a coyote officer asked.

"In other words, Yes!"

"But if I'm correct, this repair team was sent with a squad of troopers, right?" asked another general.

"Right! And that's bothering me." the lion replied, sounding somewhat grim.

"Admiral, I undersrtand your worries and putting most of the bases in the state of combat readiness, but ordering our frigates to take position behing the moon was and overstatement." commented the bear general.

"I must disagree." answered one of three wolf officers in here "We can't forget that this...accident with those...Humans on Taurus moon had hapened merely five months ago." he highlighted the word 'accident' trying to avoid any blunt suggestions of something worse.

"Yes! But since then we reinforced the defense grid, and set up additional defenses outside of it. Work at three new rail gun combat stations have been fastened and now we have five of them around our three GeoSync platforms. I think that those steps are sufficent." bear still standed his ground, speaking little bit louder.

"We don't know this civilisation, and Taurus moon showed that they may are considering us as enemies." wolf continued, also raising his voice.

"And THE DATA also showed, that technologicaly we are more advanced than them! And this means-"

"Maybe we are more advanced, but not that much! Our ships, weapons and equipment are better, although they can still harm and kill us! With bigger effort but they can!" the canine cut of his comrade in the middle of his sentence.

"This is-" he started again, but again was interrupted. This time it was the admiral.

"Enough!" He stood up and hit the table with his paw to silince those two. Lion squinted his eyes. This conversation turning into argument was making his angry because this wasn't time nor place for such childish conflicts between high ranked officers. The Admiral coughed and talked calmy again "Taurus showed that humans are ready to attack another civilasation just for resources like Helium-3. Maybe we are more advanced, but it was just one skirmish. First they attacked Taurus, then couple weeks ago our probes began to dissapear, and now, all of sudden our relay giving us connection with Firiam went silent! We have to be prepared for the worst!."

Right after his last words, loud sound of alarm began to ring, in the whole complex. The blueish color of walls in the command centre was mixed with constantly appearind and fading red.

"Show the map." The admiral ordered. The panel was activated and it created a hologram hoverig above the table, which showed this planet, it's moon and every friendly or tagged enemy vessel.

"Mulitiple slip-space ruptures deceted, mulitiple slip-space ruptures deceted, mulitiple slip-space ruptures deceted." the female AI voice echoed inside, simultaneously with waves of red icons appearing between Minerva and her moon, near the planet orbit. All of the gathered here had a look of shock and disbelief on their faces, like they couldn't belive in what they were seeing right now.

"By the gods..." muttered the coyote almost whispering.

"Someone tell me this ain't happening!" the wolf said in despair and anger.

"Serina! Sit-rep!" Admiral said and the AI appeared in the corner of the panel, standing on it. She was a lynx, preety attractive piece of software by the way, wearing a shirt and pants.

"Seventy human vessels just enetered the orbit. Cruisers, frigates, ground support ships and a swarm of fighters. They are currently heading towars cpt. McTavin ships." she informed. Captain McTavin had only 10 ships under his command, while the group behind the moon included only 5 frigates.

"Connect with SpaceSat, I need a visual."

"Right away!" she smiled. Serina marked on the map the closest satelite and hacked to it's cameras. Two seconds later an holographic screen, linked with satelite by a wirtual line, appeared showing a live image of human ships advancing towards the planet. White lion quickly studied this and connected with ships behind the moon. At least every ship was seeing almost the same thing the moment it started.

"Captain Maden! Enemy ships have their backs towards your postion, use this advantage and hit them hard with everything you have. "

"Yes admiral!"

But everyone kept watching as the enemy fleet made it very close to the first group. Moments later another screen appeared "Command! This is Cpt. McTavin! we are engeaging the enemy."

Admiral shook his head in deny "You must fall back to the defense grid and wait for shipmaster Shifu ships, to regroup with them! You are outnumbered seven to one!"

"Negative! Even if we had done this earlier, this retreat manouver would take too long and we would be an easy target."

"I understand. You have green light to engeage! Cpt. Maden battlegroup will attack the enemy from behind. Good luck Captain."

"Roger that!" he nodded his head and then turned to face the front side of the bridge "All ships, defensive manouver Delta-9, prioritize targets and fire at will!" then his screen disappeared, but the one showing image from the satelite remained and keept on reviewing the sight of human ships. Everyone watched it with either utter shock or disbelief. They observed as friendly fighters fled into enemy formations opening fire from machine guns, rockets or missiles at every target that came across the crosshair, trying to evade and fool human jets in the same time.

Frigates in first and second line opened fire from turrets and main cannons. Each frigate had only one main gun at front. But the answer was immediate. They began to take return fire. The satelite camera showed as the very first frigate received waves of furian bullets, they crippled it's but not as much as the big round which soon hit it. There was an explosion, its hull was badly damaged and ship was partly operational. It was now drifting but kept on firing from its still functioning weapons...not for long. Moment later another round hit it. Effect on target was the same, though this time there was another, big explosion that came from inside the ship, blowing it to pieces. There were no survivors because noone had enough time to reach the shuttles.

But it's most likely that they would had a hard time surviving in this cross fire that looked like horizontal gold rain which was dropping in both directions. The same fate meet some other vessels as cpt. Maden's group moved into action, sending seroius damage to the ships at back, and even some number of frags. Nevertheless there was no reason to be thrilled, for the number of friendly icons on the holo-map was becoming smaller and smaller, one by one. This whole situation...this happened so fast...

Soon small group of green seven icons came into view on the map from the other side of the globe, everybody's attention was catched by another screen which suddenly appeared with an old red panda inside it "This is shipmaster Shifu, heavy cruiser 'Jade Palace', our formation is moving to assist."

This woke up everyone in command centre out of their shock. The admiral shook his head slightly "No! Not against fleet that size. You have to take positions inside the grid..."

"But Sir..."

"That's and order! Your ships are about to be the last ones standing! We will need them in one piece, it is crucial that they could provie support in the future. Live to fight another day shipmaster."

Shifu looked down in shame, but lifted his head "Yes admiral!" the visual transmission ended.

"Sir! The last two remaining ships from cpt. McTavin fromation are quickly returning towards the defense grid while fighter are keeping busy the possible pursuit. I also tagged five enemy vessels." Serina informed and showed them on the map "Two ground support ships are slowly descending towards New Phoenix, while cruiser and two frigates are taking course for Visegrad relay."

The white lion looked at the holo-map with grim expression to saw only three freindly vessels from cpt. Maden, excluding Shifu's ones, facing now fifty-nine human ships. He sighed "Gentlemen, Serina...wake up the planet. It's Black Dawn."

Eposz
South-East part of Continent
Vigilant Base
1450 hrs

Vigilant base was a huge military complex that was hidden in two lone small mountains sticking out from flat surface. Though the distance between them was about one mile, the underground tram system provided good and fast connection with both parts of the compound. Outside of them there were also built military structures, like radar dishes, guard and air control towers, catwals and of course diffirent kind of defense systems.

The inside echoed with alarm sound, corridors were filled with staffmen and soldiers running in hurry towards their destinations, at first look it could have seemed chaotic but in all ways this was controlled chaos.

"Alert, alert! Code RED! Code RED! To all combat teams! Report in hangar with complete equipment in ten minutes for mission briefing! Leaders of security teams are to report in control room! This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill! Black Dawn protocol is in effect. " male voice of leading officer of this whole place was comming from the speakers.

One of the team leaders was just running thorugh crowd into the armory "Guys!" she said.

"Tigress!" her team members: Po, Viper, Monkey, Mantis and Crane replied in unison. All of them, like every soldier, wearing advanced full-body armor suited especially for their race and kind...and certain specialities. Colors depended on terrain, units in this region had urban SPLINTER cammo.

Tigress looked at the avian raisng a brow like she was surprised to see him "Crane? What are you doing here? You should be now in the hangar, prepearing the Shark (Multi-task Combat Dropship - MCD-25H 'Shark')."

"I know I'm pilot," He said while picking a carbine from a weapon locker and inspecting it ,"but I want to be prepared...you know, just in case."

"Good thinking, never know what's comming." Monkey commented nodding lightly.

"By the way, Tigress...do you have any clue whats might by going on?" Po asked curiously if not worriedly.

Tigress looked behind her and on the other side of the doorway saw bunch of soldiers making their way to the hangar and turned back to face them "Whole base is in heat and they iniciated Black Dawn...so this must be very serious."

"Can you remind me, what Black Dawn was standing for?" asked the panda, though he was sure he didn't wanted to hear her answer.

She looked sadly "Full-scale enemy invasion."

"Oh crap." Po whispered in shock.

"Do you have any idea Tigress where we'll be going?" Mantis asked.

"Nope. But we will find out soon enough. Gear up Fruious team! We'll meet with Koshi and Amari on place."

Po was the biggest from them, so he was wearing a heavy armor. Also bigger weapons landed in his hands like LMG and shotgun on his back, Monkey took a pair of SMG's, Tigress choice was an Assault Rifle and DMR. Mantis because of his size couldn't take any weaopn, but that doesn't mean that he was useless. He was an infiltrator, his tiny little armor gived him ability to cloak and sneak behind the enemy. The bug had also a tiny controller that was allowing him to controll an small and armed flying drone dropped from dropship.

Viper didn't had to choose anything. Her top side body was covered by a scale like aromor platings, which had zero negative effects on her speed and agility but was giving her protection. In the part of her armor, right behind her head was monted a puting out small turret, which was aimed in the direction where the reptile looked with her tac-visor on her right eye. This device was connected to her neural system, so she could shoot by literally using her mind. The same system was used in artificial limbs. Installed smart software was stoping the gun before the user could accidentaly hurt or kill himself.

Last things taken and they hurried to the hangar. On their way, in all this crowd and hurry they recognized some friendly faces belonging to the same team. A black wolf, sgt. Koshi Kiasari - medic, the leader of Furious 3-2 and his men: marksman - golden lioness, Leona Milin and a support gunner - big, white tiger, Nikita 'Nicky' Malkov. They were there alongside with a female cheetach, sgt. Amari Kiasari and the rest of her Furious 3-3 squad, medic - snow leopardess Meixiu Kiasari and stormtrooper - siberian tigress Yan Kiasari. Four adopted sibling serving in one team...but diffirent squad. Tigress was a lieutenant being on the lead of Furious 3-1.

Now they all were heading to the hangar. This whole was huge, it was about 40 meters high, 150 m wide and 250 m long. Ground floor was covered with multiple lines of spots for vechicles such as battle walkers, tanks, APC's and aromred SUV's. There was also an underground level with additional wheeled conveyances.
Side of the walls contained two levels of dropship and gunships positions. One level on each side had ten of them...twenty dropships and twenty gunships in overall.

Right after they entered, Tigress told Crane to quickly get to his Shark so the major wouldn't scold him. Rest moved to where the voice from speakers told, to the Docking Bay-A. With some other teams they stood in two lines, waiting for briefing. Quick moment later a middle-aged lion came to them. There was some silver color there and there on his mane, yet he was still a tough nut to crack. He was the mentioned by Tigress major. He was tall, and he had a cut scar on his left eyebrow. He stood before the group and smirked.

"Ladies and lads, we don't have time so I will cut the bullshit. We are being invaded by humans and they outnumbered our ships as hell, but here on the surface..thing are diffirent. On the surface WE ARE the rulers! Their first target is New Phoenix, plece where you will be going! You wanna know what is today?" he smiled confidently" Today is your lucky day! For some of you greenhorns it will be day when you will be finally given chance to shoot something! You will teach those dumb son of a bitches that attacking us was a deadly mistake! And when you will have nothing left to shot with, you will beat them to death with their...OWN... LIVING...GUTS while laughing OUT LOUD! Am I right troopers?" he placed his paw behind his ear in a 'I don't hear you' manner.

"Yes Sir!" soldiers yelled energically.

"Mmmmhm, damn rigt I'am. More info about the mission you will receive on the way. Now pack yourselves to Sharks! Double time!" soldiers did as he ordered and loaded themselves into the Shark dropships. Furious team loaded themselves into the one where Crane was pilot. Those weren't small things, they could easily take fifteen soldiers, lots of additional equipment and hitch even a tank by eight strong magnets underneath its hull. It was named 'Shark' for purpose. It had a 25mm gun mounted under the pilot cabin, one AA missile with rocket pod per short wing behind the side entry doors and defense turret on top of its hull. But even its look could be also reminding of this animal.

Crane took of slowly and got lower. He carefully positioned himself above an already manned APC and hitched it with his magnets. Then alongside with other dropships he fled out through a massive hangar doors joining forces with units from second part of the base. The cavalary was on the way.
