Chapter 1: Blood Red Sands.
Annapolis, Maryland November 201X
As he walked through the grounds of the US Naval Academy, Rear-Admiral Andrew Bergen felt the ghosts and memories that still harbored here. Although he did not believe about the spiritual, Bergen had visited enough battlefield sights to believe that some ghosts still haunted the battlefields in which they fell. While walking through the grounds, he thought about the how he arrived now.
After graduating from the academy and earning his gold wings, Andrew served in the first Gulf War before he headed to the Pacific to serve in a special task force over there until 1994 when exhaustion and heavy casualties sent him home. He was soon flying again back in the Middle East and the Mediterranean before he achieved command in the mid-2000s of a carrier strike group in the Atlantic Fleet.
As he waited for a colleague of his to arrive, the tours of duty in East Asia and the recent conflicts in the Middle East that occupied his mind. While he agreed in principle to operations in Afghanistan, he along with a good number of other officers had opposed the invasion of Iraq and many of them resigned or the bellicose administration forced them out. Andrew counted himself lucky as well as a few of his colleagues for escaping the wrath of their civilian superiors. That didn't lighten the admiral's mood for several of the discharged officers had also served in Japan during the early-mid 1990s and knew what to look for if the enemy they battled in Asia returned from the shadows.
Several footsteps broke his thoughts and he turned to face his visitor, another rear admiral who he had served with for many years. She was a tall dark haired woman with brown eyes, a stunningly beautiful face, and reflexes that could only come with piloting an aircraft off a carrier. Fortunately, she had a relaxed smile as she greeted him, "I guess we should be lucky that we both had time off."
Bergen nodded and replied, "With the way everything has been going on, to get such changes for R&R with an old friend is a luxury." They both grimly nodded at that statement and its implications. Both then paused to look around each other before Bergen asked, "How bad is it out there Toni"?
The female rear admiral took a deep breath before saying, "Each day it has been getting worse and worse in the field." She paused before stating, "From what I've heard of my contacts in the State Department, it seems the entire Middle East is one step away from bursting into flames." She paused before saying, "And you know what happens when such a thing occurs."
Bergen silently nodded as the images of horror from his tour of duty in Japan flashed into his mind. He whispered to his old friend, "Hey Toni, do you ever wonder where did we go wrong during these past few years"? Before she could reply, Bergen continued by stating, "No matter how many times our consequences come back to bite us in the ass, we still keep repeating the same mistake over and over again", "In fact, we've already had two demonstrations of that theory in Asia." He didn't add the other events to prove that theory since the two events that he had already mentioned were enough for discussion.
That thought depressed them both and Bergen immediately attempted to apologize but Toni replied with an understanding smile, "Don't worry about it, at least it gives us all a sense of focus about our responsibilities." They both knew what that meant but decided not to speak about it.
Looking at the time and wishing to change the subject, Bergen asked her, "Any good Japanese restaurants around here?"
Toni laughed and replied, "And you don't think that the food that they serve in the fleet is good enough?" She steadied herself before saying, "I did pass by several not far from here including one that is all you can eat." They both laughed before heading to Bergen's car, while talking about trivial matters and stowing away their worries about the past and its inevitable future return for another time.
Green Zone, Baghdad, Iraq
In all of his time in the service, Lieutenant General Vincent Mitchell thought that he would be used to the death going on all around him but fortunately or unfortunately, the new reports of more death seemed to sadden him even more. After reading the latest casualty reports, he silently cursed his superiors for their idiotic decisions and the costs he and the saner commanders had to deal with every day.
Before he could think anymore, one of the aides rushed into his quarters and told him, "Sir, we need you in the command center." The general growled before nodding and headed out to a fully equipped field command post where several other generals crowded around the screens. When Mitchell arrived to watch for himself, he cringed at the sight.
The images showed Iraqi and American forces struggling through the mazes of streets and buildings in an attempt to root out insurgents. Helicopters flew overhead in support with guns blazing while avoiding the constant RPG fire from the ground. Soon several explosions occurred all around the coalition troops with several tanks bursting into flames from rockets and mines. Machine guns chattered all around from the buildings, raking the advancing forces with deadly fire.
Some of the other generals cringed as they saw the damage and at least one of them headed towards one of the radios to shout out orders. Mitchell turned to his superior General John Ferguson looking grimly at one of the monitors. After watching the carnage for a few moments, Ferguson told his commanders, "Signal all forces to fall back and regroup again before attack." As one, the commanders followed his instructions and soon the forces on the ground retreated to "safer" ground with the panicked Iraqi forces in the lead.
After Ferguson saw his forces regroup and rest he then turned to the other generals and yelled in an agitated manner, "Make sure you've identified your targets before sending your men in." He paused before stating, "We want to make sure that we can really deal with the insurgency problem in an efficient manner." The older general then looked back at the clock before ordering, "Get your men rested and ready for another attack." He paused before continued talking, "Also increase the protection around important installations in case they decide to strike back." He and his aide left to his quarters while the others began to quarrel about what to do next. Like Mitchell, a good number of them cringed at their orders and several soon headed out to tell their own units about sending them back to the inferno.
For Mitchell, the situation before him reminded him of his tour of duty in Asia during the , there were some key differences and in comparing the two situations, he surprisingly found himself wishing that he operated back in Asia. He put those thoughts back aside and continued his work.
Suddenly an explosion in the Green Zone attracted everyone's attention and they all turned to see small squads of insurgents infiltrating the area while IEDs exploded all around the area. Upon hearing the explosions and alarms, Ferguson immediately returned to the command center to see what was going on. Once the information absorbed itself into their minds, the general yelled out, "Order everyone to defend themselves as best they can." Soon everyone in the room had their own weapons just in case several of the insurgents managed to advance close enough to their location."
On the streets, gunfire erupted by the score as the stunned defenders attempted to fight off the infiltrating insurgents. Though the defenders outnumbered the attacks, the suddenly intensity of the assault confused the defenders. Many of the Iraqi units easily broke under the horror of combat and soon several of the American military units, worn down by very long tours of duty in Iraq also started to fall back.
When the air support arrived, the pilots looked on in stunned horror before they flew in to engage, despite the risks of losses and friendly casualties. For their part, some of the insurgents switched their fire up to the sky in utter defiance of the new arrivals.
Throughout it all, the civilians ran through the streets, all frightened by the horror playing all around them. Many died from the crossfire as they attempted to reach safety, pull their injured friends and family out of the way or just plain driven mad by the horror around them. Others, with secret sympathies towards the insurgents or hatred against the foreign troops, secretly armed themselves and joined in on the carnage.
Southern areas of Chechnya
The lands of the Caucasus have seen their fair share of fighting throughout the ages and it shows no signs of abating. Long considered part of its backyard, Russia has struggled to maintain influence by overt and covert means. It has even proved more important in the aftermath of the attacks in New York and the discovery of fundamentalist cells operating the area with allegiance to the United States main target. Using that as cover, the Russian armed forces had expanded their campaigns in the Caucasus to such a brutal level that it attracted the attention of the international community.
As for the region itself, the combined fighting had transformed the region into a wasteland that rivaled with the worst of Siberia. Rotting corpses lay strewn around the landscape while wrecked vehicles and buildings rusted away due to the elements. For those attempting to move on foot, the ground resembled an endless quagmire that prevents even the tanks from maneuvering accurately.
The most famous battle zone in the Caucasus was undoubtedly Chechnya. Seceding in 1994, it gave the new Russian Army another version of its defeat in Afghanistan. Then after a questionable series of bombings in the surrounding Central Asian countries, the Russian army plunged back into the region and has remained there to this very day, "quietly" battling insurgents with ties to fundamentalist groups.
For Lieutenant General Nikolai Borodin, the devastated landscape depressed him and few things spooked the general these days. The general rubbed his head as he attempted to absorb the scale of the destruction and remembered how he got here.
An aide interrupted his brooding and before the general could ask, the aide replied, "Sir, the Spetnaz squads have returned with their reports and they've managed to identify several of the positions of the insurgents." The aide paused for a moment before continuing on, "From what I see sir, the troops are disgruntled but are willing to do the job."
Borodin nodded before saying, "Alright then, signal our forces to begin attacking immediately and ensure that we'll have air support for this." The aide hurried off as the Russian General turned back to view the landscape with his binoculars, "I wonder how long we'll have to keep at this before common sense breaks through."
Out on the field, grim-faced soldiers marched slowly to their positions in a robotic fashion. After arriving, they loaded up their weapons while the artillery and air forces pounded the rebel positions, the explosions sending up smoke and flame from the ground. Far from helping, it depressed the Russian infantry even more since previous large scale bombardments had proven completely ineffective. In fact, it usually alerted them and provided them with new hiding places to snipe at the Russian troops as they advanced.
Once the bombardment lifted, the troops began to advance along with supporting T-90s and BMP-3s towards the identified insurgent positions with Russian helicopters flying cover and inserting troops. As the ground force advanced, they met little resistance but as they closed in on the more rocky terrain, all hell broke loose as well placed explosives detonated all around them. Before they could react, their foes emerged from their hidden spots with weapons blazing. Soon vehicles burned from well-placed shots as their vulnerable points while the infantry struggled to advance against their foes. Unfortunately, after a few hours, the entire force broke off and ran like hell back to their starting positions.
As Borodin observed the action, he snarled at his aide and yelled at him, "Go back to the Spetnaz troops and warn them to do a better job or else I'll have them all shot." Very frightened, the aide hurriedly ran off while the general looked back at the disorganized rabble for a few more moments before cursing aloud at his situation.
Gaza Strip:
In recorded history, the birthplace of the three main religions of the world occurred in the area now known as the State of Israel and the Palestinian territories. In fact, the city of Jerusalem plays a key part in the mythology of all three religions.
Unfortunately, people weld themselves deeply to their religions and that has powered the most vicious of wars. It has proven the case especially here since the city and the surrounding area has seen more blood spilled for a longer period than anywhere else on Earth and it has never stopped despite the assistance of the outside world.
To both sides in this conflict, the only goal here was nothing less than full annihilation. Moderates on both sides of the conflict have attempted to end it and paid for it with their lives or watch their fortunes plummet with their respective populations. Although the general population of Israel wished for peace, the constant violent attacks and the political wrangling on both sides of the conflict ensured the continuation of the struggle.
Looking through his binoculars at the urban landscape before him, Lieutenant General Malachi narrowed his face in quiet anger as he observed the problems before him. What he saw disturbed him but he saw no other choice than to go into the urban areas to get after their targets. After looking at it one more time, he turned to one of his aides and spoke his orders, "Prepare our troops to go in and tell them to use infiltration tactics."
Closer up to the potential battle zone, troops waited tensely for the signal to head in. Despite the formidable obstacles, they knew that they had to go through, the Israeli soldiers felt ready for the task. Witnessing their families cut down by scores of suicide bombings and rocket attacks had hardened them to the task. When they received word of their orders, the troops immediately readied their weapons and moved out alongside the Merkava 4 tanks and their APCs. At airfields, the pilots rushed to their F-15, F-16, and AH-64D helicopters and then headed for the Gaza area while awaiting word from their colleagues on the ground.
On the other side of the line, bands of Palestinian militiamen patrolled the wrecked streets with their guns and RPGs, while civilians scurried about for their days' worth of supplies. With some being as young as only 13 years old, they were more than ready for tonight's work. When they all heard the rumble of mechanized vehicles approaching, the squads of militiamen scattered to their hiding places with fingers already on the triggers.
In a hidden area within the city, an Arab man observed as his subordinates went about their duties. He had a large cragged face and eyes that burned, especially when something or someone angered them and scars that still lingered even after many years of combat against the Zionists. No one knew his exact name but his exploits against the Israelis had earned him the name of "The Slayer."
As he heard the explosions, the Slayer snarled and said, "They never learn do they." He paused before saying with a small smile, "Warn our men to wipe them out but take a few prisoners so we can have fun with them." The others, all veterans and wanting to settle their own scores with the Israelis, rushed out to convey his orders."
To the IDF units making their way through the urban area, the sporadic gunfire from snipers frightened them more than the expected hail of fire an ambush usually resulted in.
They would not have to wait long for their opponents had already taken up positions and had their zones of fire correctly defined while activating the IEDs already placed. Meanwhile, small scouts had already set out to lure the invaders into their prepared traps.
The silence that greeted the arriving Israeli troops as they made their way through the streets and intersection proved to be disheartening. If their foes met them head on then it would have even out the odds for survival but since they remained hidden, several, including veterans began to wonder if their number was finally up.
Suddenly, a scream of rockets broke the silence with explosions occurring among the APCs. The columns halted as the troops attempted to rescue the wounded but that exposed them to machine gun fire from the rooftops. When the Merkava tanks attempted to fire on the buildings housing the snipers, they came under attack from RPGs and mortars, which eventually penetrated their upper armor and exploded inside the tanks.
Although the situation turned to complete chaos, the Israeli troops held their ground as the intensity of the fire continued to develop. Soon they began to call in air strikes to cover their withdrawal while destroying stranded vehicles with their own weapons.
The Palestinian militiamen jumped with glee at their success but several of the more serious commanders brooded for a moment before their ears picked up the sounds of fighters and helicopters. They immediately ordered their men to hide but some weren't fast enough as the Israeli Air Force once again unleashed its well-known destructive power with Apache helicopters delivering covering fire and fighters attacking targets of opportunity. It continued for at least half an hour before word came of the extraction of the ground forces, by which they headed back to their bases.
Once the smoke cleared, both sides clearly saw the devastation and both would immediately be using it to their own gains in propaganda. In addition, both forces would play their own side of the skirmish in an attempt to humiliate the other. It has continued like this ever since the beginning of the second Palestinian uprising at the beginning of the new century.
Tokyo
The capital city of Japan has rightly earned its title as one of the grand cities of the world and that just includes the main city itself. The district in which the main city lies in also encompasses a good portion of the Kanto plain, depending on whom anyone would talk to in Japan. Within the city itself, traces of ancient Japan stood side by side with the modern skyscrapers that anyone would find in the grand cities of the world.
In a small apartment, a woman rested in a chair as she read the book in her hand. Although she was in her thirties, the woman had small strands of gray hair and small wrinkles on her face. Old reminders, both good and bad, of the previous job she once had at a UN funded agency decorated the walls. She continued to turn the pages when she suddenly felt a small headache. The woman stood up for a moment to regain her balance as she struggled to deal with the sudden problem with her forehead. Her eyes shut closed tightly as the mental images started to bombard her mind.
When she opened her eyes, the Japanese woman found herself on a desolate battlefield in the sandy desert with the winds stinging her eyes. Scores of military vehicles lay strewn around the landscape along with the numerous human corpses, some of them badly burned. Small fires still burned while the air stank of burned gasoline and mass death all around.
An explosion caught the ears of the woman and she turned around to find it source. Her eyes widened as she observed a battle between modern man and creatures that sometimes come from legend, the stars, or created by humanity itself. Not surprisingly, the forces of humanity were losing very badly while the monsters engaged each other in battle. The Japanese woman then turned around to see where she actually was, which consisted of a mix of desert and tortuous mountain ranges broken up by distinguishing features. Attempting to flee from the battle zone (which looked all too real for her even in her mind) she headed to the landmarks to gain a closer look. Once she did, her eyes blinked for a moment before they widened in recognition.
A loud roar attracted her attention from the artifacts and she turned around to see one of the dark shapes emerging out of the smoke. As the features of the dark shadow revealed itself into the light, the Japanese woman's face changed to one of silent recognition and horror.
She then suddenly found herself back in her apartment while breathing deeply and grasping her chest with her left hand. After steadying herself, the woman made her way to a large bookshelf, pulled one of the older books out and began turning page after page before stopping at the page she was looking for. After a moment, she whispered quietly in sadness for the whole world, "It is as we feared, the darkness has returned." Her mind then mused about the artifacts in her dream and their similarity to the books about the Middle East that she looked about in her previous job.
South Pacific, East of Sumatra.
The endless dark waters of the ocean swarmed with all types of life. Many of these creatures existed for years and continue to do so despite humanity gradually wrecking the oceans for its own selfish need.
Suddenly, the dark shadow of an enormous creature passed through the water. It was many times larger than the surrounding sea life but it plowed through the water much faster than even the Alfa class submarines of the former Soviet Union. Its dorsal fins glowed white-blue from time to time, heating up the water around the creature by several degrees centigrade. The creature drives any nearby sea life away from it by the glow of its dorsal fins and the splashing of its enormous tail. The monster's eyes glowed red with blood as it continued on its course west, away from its main ground in North East Asia while searching for any prey to kill along the way. Unlike the rest of the creatures of the sea, humanity, with its desire for destruction on an infinite scale, had a hand in the creation of this particular creature.
If any human being passed by the area, the form of the creature would have scared their souls out of their own bodies, especially those from Japan. At least then they would have warned the world about what was coming but in this case, there was no human soul around to observe the creature as he passed through the Pacific and then eventually through the Indian Ocean towards his destination. By the time, anyone found out about the entity, it would be too late to stop this grand darkness from rising again.
Definitions and explanations:
The Council: After the end of the Godzilla War, the UN planned to disband the UNGCC (United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center). However a deal was reached to keep it standing for all of the veterans knew that sooner or later the darkness would return. Although operating in a reduced capacity, the new Council immediately selected a director and a new command staff, which would form the core command group when the UNGCC was put back into operations.
Below that, the Council operates in an independent manner with sections operating independently of each other. Whenever a section spots any trace of the monster and those like it, they attempt to independently confirm it before pooling the information and then finally alert the international community to the threat. Once it shows, the council changes into the new UNGCC.
All council members were veterans of the war against Godzilla and most of them are American and Japanese. They operate in the name of all humanity even when humanity doesn't want or know about such a force.
Created: 1992
Officially Disbanded: 1996
Personnel List for The Council/UNGCC (United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center):
Tsukaba, Japan:
Fukuzawa: A Japanese politician who served in the environmental ministry during the late 1980s and early 1990smid can at dealt with weapons development before served in several think tanks in the private sector along with d. Due to the damage caused from the attacks by Godzilla and his fellow kaiju, he was the point main between the Ministry of the environment and the military during the cleanup from the attacks due to the potential involvement of radiation. The most notable incident was when he dealt with the crisis involving Mothra, Battra, and Godzilla. In the aftermath of the battle of Fukuoka and the "resignation" of Segawa, the government appointed him director of the UNGCC in time for what would be the final battle of the Godzilla war. In its aftermath, he would resume his regular duties at the environmental ministry with a particular focus on radiation issues from Japan's numerous nuclear power plants. On a more personal note, Fukuzawa had lost his wife several years ago due to cancer.
Rank: Director (similar to being the Supreme Commander)
Takaki Aso: Part of the former command staff of the UNGCC and in charge of its military wing, known as G-Force. He served on the command staff of the JSDF and then as a main part of the UNGCC's command staff after it was created in 1992. Despite playing an important part in many of the UNGCC's most infamous operations, he mostly escaped the trouble that plagued Director Segawa and General Hoyodo, particularly after Fukuoka. He retired at the end of the war.
Rank: Lieutenant-General.
Kazuma Aoki: A robotics scientist as well having an interest in flying dinosaurs, Aoki could be considered as an eccentric at times. While he remained in good-standing when working in the robotics division of the UNGCC due to the fact that he created one of its first weapons called Garuda, he was suddenly transferred to G-Force itself. At first he had a bad time of it and as a result of his behavior during the battle of Godzilla against Mecha-Godzilla near Kyoto, he was assigned to parking lot duty. He soon regained his standing by helping out with the improvisation of his beloved Garuda machine and Mecha-godzilla. Soon he would impress his superiors once again with his performance during the battle of Makuhari City despite having not seen actual combat beforehand. After its destruction, he would return to the robotics division and contribute to the development of Mogera and other weapons until the war's end.
Rank: Robotics Scientist.
Washington DC:
Mathew Redford: He served in the latter stages of Vietnam before serving on the staff of NATO in the last stages of the Cold War. When he was transferred to Japan, he served on the command staff of G-Force during the war. After the war ended, he served on the command staff of NATO during the Balkans crisis before working at the Pentagon in its Pacific and Middle Eastern sections. In the mid to late 2000s, he retired from government life and served in several think tanks in the private sector that dealt with weapons development before assuming the post of Secretary of Defense.
Rank: Secretary of Defense of the United States.
Michael Lawrence: He served as a helicopter pilot in the twilight of the Cold War before serving in Desert Storm. During the war, his unit served in several impressive actions against Godzilla, which eventually caught the eye of his superiors and his participation along with many others in a very black operation against Godzilla in the wake of the battle for Makuhari City. The failure and the destruction the black ops caused would disqualify him as well as the few other survivors from being part of the council. Despite that, he bears no grudge against the UNGCC. After the war ended, he participated for a time in the political arena and eventually became the vice-president under President Alexander Calhoun due to the fact that he got along well with Congress (an incredible feat in these trying political times) and despite the many opposing views they both have on different issues.
Rank: Vice President of the United States
Okamura: served on the command staff at G-Force headquarters mainly in the foreign affairs department though he had seen his fair share of military action like almost everyone else. After the war, he worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served in postings overseas before becoming an ambassador to the United States.
Rank: ambassador to the United States
Tarahachi: served as an airman during Godzilla's first return appearance in 1984 and then became commander of an air wing during the fighting until 1993 before he served on the UNGCC command staff. After the war, he served in staff postings and eventually was sent to Washington DC.
Rank: Major-General
Umezu: served in the JGSDF during the Godzilla's first return appearance in 1984 and was one of the very lucky few that survived the battle in Tokyo Bay. After proving himself in several more firefights against the kaiju, he joins up with G-Force as part of the command staff and also helped trained the ground forces. After the war, he served in staff positions and training billets before traveling abroad, eventually ending up in Washington DC.
Rank: Lieutenant-General
New York:
Hitoshi Kondo: Served in the foreign affairs department of the UNGCC during the war and continued to serve in overseas postings afterwards before he became Japan's ambassador to the United Nations.
Rank: Ambassador
Field Commanders: Revise Americans.
Andrew Bergen: He had first entered the service in the early 1980s and flew in Europe and in the Middle East. After doing his time in the Gulf War, he served with G-Force in a fighter wing when it was first created in 1992 and departed after the battle against Space-Godzilla due to exhaustion and the casualties that his unit suffered. Among its pilots would be Toni Carlson who would become a close friend. After the war, he headed back to the United States and subsequently to the Atlantic Fleet. After participating in the Balkans and the Middle East conflicts, he would eventually achieve flag rank with the command of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the mid-2000s.
Rank: Rear-Admiral
Toni Carlson: She entered the service during the mid to late 1980s and had an exceptionally hard fight up the ranks. After getting her first combat experience in the Gulf War, she served in G-Force in a fighter wing when it was first created and stayed almost the duration but missing out on the fighting against Destroyah. Her commanding officer during that time was Andrew Bergen. After the end of the war, she would remain in the Pacific Fleet until 2000 when she transferred to the Atlantic Fleet. In the aftermath of the attacks on New York and Washington DC, she served on the USS Kitty Hawk helping to assist with the coordination of special-forces operations of which she had some experience and interest in. She finally assumed command of a carrier group with the USS Carl Vinson in the mid-2000s.
Rank: Rear-Admiral
Vincent Mitchell: Tank commander who served in the first Persian Gulf War before joining up with G-Force and serving throughout most of the war including the fight in Fukuoka. After the war, he served at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California before being sent to CentCom. After the terrorist attacks of 2001, he served in the field in Afghanistan and then eventually in Iraq, fighting in the .
Rank: Lieutenant General
Daisuke Tachibana: One of the oldest of the veteran field commanders, he served in an armored regiment at Wakasa Bay before he participated in the other battles of the war. After the war, he would take part in several peace-keeping operations before serving in Iraq until the Japanese withdrawal from the country in 2006.
Rank: Lieutenant-General
Keizo Nishimura: served in tanks and artillery during the war beginning with the situation dealing with Godzilla and Mothra. His forces had suffered heavily against all three monsters and then had been cut to pieces along with several other units commanded by G-Force commanders from America during the crisis with Space-Godzilla, and therefore skipped out of the fighting with Destroyoah. After the war, he traveled abroad and visited the United States as part of the regular exchange programs.
Rank: Major General
Sadasama Torii: served in tanks during the war but just barely missing the battle of Wakasa Bay. He had his first experience during the battle of Sapporo and had been involved in several very brutal defensive stands although he performed very well. After the war, he served abroad and took some side trips through the desert of the Middle East before heading back to Japan.
Rank: Major General:
Fredrick Middleton: served in the latter stages of the cold war before doing his time in Desert Storm. He then joined up with G-Force from 1992 to 1994 when the casualties his unit suffered put him on the reserve list. Despite that, he is proud of his service. After the war ended, he served in peacekeeping missions in Bosnia and took part in the contingency plans for Kosovo. After the attacks on America, he served in Afghanistan but managed to luckily avoid Iraq during the worst of the occupation. He would transfer back to the US regularly on a training rotation to help his colleagues learn the ugly art of asymmetric warfare.
Rank: Major General
Philip Stanton: Like the others, he had joined up with the military during the early 1980s and had served in Lebanon in 1983. After serving in the Persian Gulf War, he was transferred to the Pacific and was one of the first Americans to participate in the Godzilla war in 1991. Despite being allowed to serve on the command staff, he sometimes preferred going out to the field. When the attacks on American occurred, he participated in ground action in Afghanistan but when Iraq came up, he along with other commanders vigorously protested the American government's decision to no avail. Forced to resign from the service in disgust, he watched with grim sadness as the inevitable result came to pass along with the fact that some of his fellow veterans from Japan bought the farm there as well.
Rank: Brigadier-General
Tatsuya Omori: commanded a frigate during the war and participated in the attack on Mothra in 1992 as well as the battle against Godzilla in Kagoshima Bay in 1994. After the war, he served in administrative postings before taking command of fleet units sent to the Indian Ocean in the wake of the attacks on America. After returning home, he participated in several skirmish operations against North Korean patrol boat raids.
Rank: Rear Admiral
Sam Carter: Joining the air force during the Cold War, he served in the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq war and the problems with the other Arab states. Then he served in the invasion of Panama before he joined up with G-force and served in the later stages of the conflict. After that, he flew for a while in the Middle East and the Balkans before assuming command of a fighter squadron in the Pacific, which became involved in the attacks on Afghanistan in later 2001. He served briefly in Iraq before heading back to the Pacific and in 2007 he assumed command of a fighter wing in the Pacific.
Rank: Colonel
Saburo Nobunaga: served in a fighter wing during the latter stages of the war and helped test out some of G-Force's new weapons, particularly the new maser weapons that were mounted on aerial platforms. After the war's end, he served in an advisory position and commanded several training squadrons dealing with the newest weapons in the JSDF's inventory. Also after 1998, he also participated in discussions on dealing with the missile threat from North Korea.
Rank: Colonel
Tom Benson: Joining the army during the later stages of the Cold War, he participated in Panama and the First Gulf War. After he joined up with G-Force, he served in the latter stages of the conflict and managed to serve in most of the battles except against the Destroyahs. After serving time in the Balkans, he took part in the drive through Iraq in 2003 and has then participated in the street fighting that has regularly occurred over there whether they were against the regular insurgents or ISIS.
Rank: Colonel
Miroku Shiratori: served in the ground units for G-Force during the latter stages of the conflict including in Kyoto and Fukuoka and was one of the few survivors of the botched attack on the Destroyahs. He would eventually command an armored regiment some time before 2009.
Rank: Colonel
Miki Saegusa: Perhaps the most important veteran of the Godzilla wars and even though a civilian at the time, according to certain reports, she had lost her parents to Godzilla's return in 1984. She has served in the conflict almost from its very beginnings and now has returned to serve once again. Her special ability allows her to probe the mind of kaiju, particularly Godzilla and with the help of technology actually control them. She has been questioned from time to time in the latter stages of the first Godzilla war due to her defending the monster as well as his descendant Godzilla Junior though she dutifully complied with the orders of her superiors. After the war's end, she retired from public life and went back to work as a teacher for "gifted" children even though her own powers had already began to fade at the end of the Godzilla war.
Rank: Commander
Sho Kuroki: Another veteran of the Godzilla wars who had participated in some of its most decisive actions, Sho Kuroki came from a "New Youth Elite Corps" when he signed up for the JSDF. Shortly after earning command, Kuroki became involved with the war against Godzilla as he took field command of all forces. Performing very well especially when leading the JSDF against Godzilla at Wakasa Bay, he scored what most certainly could have been a decisive victory against Godzilla were it not for the Furtarians. Due to his exceptionally performance in using the Super X-II, he is given command of the Super X-III and leads the final assault against Godzilla when he dies as the immense nuclear energy caused him to undergo a meltdown. After the war's end and despite the lack of work and budget, he progressed through the ranks while becoming a test pilot for the JASDF newest weapons.

Author's Notes:
This had been in the planning stages for sometime and this is in a way to get my foot in the door in starting a new Godzilla fanfic. To be honest, I was going to launch this fanfic after taking care of the rest of the others but after certain events, mainly personal, I changed my mind.
Even more so than in my previous fanfics, you'll see mentions of real-world events that sometimes may bother you. I also hope to make this one different in the fact that those that have survived the wars against Godzilla will have a very tough time against not only the monster and his cohorts but also with their own superiors in colleagues who had not witnessed the fighting against the monster directly (only Japan will have room to maneuver and even then it will have it constricted from time to time).
Of course, this will take place with most of the monsters from the Heisei timeline but I may also be receptive to inviting in monsters from the Showa and Millennium timelines. Also of course, you'll see characters from the Heisei Godzilla movies.
If the title isn't good, then I apologize for it and will attempt to think it over again.
Author's questions
Since this will be taking place with events too close to reality for all our tastes, how well have I done in blending in with both in a way.
If you have anyway to ensure that this story moves very smoothly, feel free to say it. I already know that I'm walking on thin ice here by writing a story such as this
As always, how did I structure the battles in the first chapter of this story?
As always, please read and review.
