A single commander humanities last hope is sent with an experimental ACU to close the Seriphiem Arch and save humanity from the infinate war but as the saying goes No plan survives first contact and now as The Seriphiem war ends another begins will the young Commander be able to lead his forces to victory aginst this new foe (slight refrence to war based violence reason M rating)

Disclaimer I own nothing except the ideas which brought my stories to life out of these great games

Please read this if you have never played Supcom before

Supreme Commander X Halo crossover (yay fist time crossing galaxies and warping time woot) any way for anyone who is a Halo fan boy as much as I love halo myself Supcom cannon is OP in comparison a single Fatboy Experimental Mobile Factory from Supcom 1 could take on all the U.N.S.C. and Covenant land forces combined in combat as not only is it massive but it has a shield its self repairs and it can build an army of units in what would be hours in real time but minutes in game time (it is due to a process called Nano-Lathing which involves taking energy turning it into mass and then wielding it together on a molecular level)(P.S. I am working on contacting a guy to get more specific details as I can't really understand how it works myself but I believe I know someone who can give me some exact details for this)(P.P.S this is why most experimental other then the Paragon Mavor and the Novax center will not show up till late war if at all) now then onto the story and I may end up posting a chapter in front of this later that will have a list of units and such size, weight, damage, mass and all that to help others see why I am massively nerfing Supcom just so the covvies can fight them with less than orbital glassing to fight a war on land

Location: Earth

Hawaii

Time is 18:20 (6:20 for anyone who doesn't know military time subtract 12if it is over twelve and that is your time)

Operation Overlord +5 hours after op start

Hi I am Reven I am a Cybran commander that was give access to an Experimental A.C.U. (armored command unit) that had access to both the Aeon, Cybran and U.E.F. (United Earth Federation) build plans to attack the Seriphem Rift Gate that was built on the remains of the old Black Sun Complex in Hawaii after the invasion and destruction of Earth it has been a long and bloody war but now the final act has begun and my final attack that I will be leading personally is about to begin and I am making this recording and leaving it in the Command Node I built in the base in case I do not return

Inside the ACU onboard a Continental Class Tech 3 transport along with several Titan and Loyalist Assault Bots being escorted to their targets by several Gemini Tech 3 A.S.F. (air superiority fighters) and Broadsword tech 3 gunships flying in a defensive pattern with the ASFs in an arrow formation up front with the transport in the middle and the gunships on the flanks to ensure that the transports would survive any incoming hostile fighters while the transports shield soaked up any flak coming from the ground defenses they were flying over. I am watching the camera feed of the 12 transport formations pass over the advancing Fatboys and Galactic Colossus formations that are advancing on the main bases defenses while me and a small strike force land and attack the Rift Gateway I look down at my interface and give my ground forces an attack move order while checking our flight path and to see if the 4 Liberator Strategic Nuclear Missile Launches had all their missiles primed to fire should I hit the launch button incase I fail to destroy the Gateway "no I should not think like that I took down the best the Order and Seriphem could throw at me I will make it through this" so I tell the transports to proceed and all 12 transports and the escorts moved in to drop us off safely as the dumb A.I. that piloted the war machines acknowledges the order (A.N. I forgot to mention earlier to those that don't know all Supcoms tanks ships bases and planes are controlled by dumb A.I. and the only human ever actually deployed to a war zone is inside an ACU or a Subterranean Armored Command Bunker which lead to more efficient wars with less population loss as the infinite war lasted for at least a thousand years and only came to an end during the events of Black Sun and a day after the end of that the Seriphem opened a Quantum Rift and invaded earth and then started a war of extermination until the events of Fort Clarke where the war finally turned around) we quickly arrive at the D.Z. and the air transports begin firing their AA and Riot guns at any units nearby as the fighters break and engage fighter swarms all around us and the gunships focus on the units coming out of the gate to keep us from being overwhelmed by the sheer number of Seriphem units pouring out of the gate as my ACU and Loyalists disembark from the transport by way of it releasing its magnetic clamps and allowing us to drop the remaining thirty feet and begin to attack the Gateway I look and quickly see that I have lost 2 transports full of Loyalists and Titans before they could disembark to the heavy flak fire and hostile fighters and to see that almost all the ASFs have been shot down in massive dogfights that made where made up of dozens of fighters each and watched as several fell from the sky around me. I also take note that half the gunships and transports that where providing ground support for me had also taken several loses and that my land assault is being ground to a halt by the base defenses that are at the front of the base and hundreds of hostile forces. which is bad as I really needed those units to get through should my sneak attack fail and then right as the gate starts to weaken two Youthotha Experimental Assault Bots came through the portal and the I decided my forces here where insufficient for the attack and the ground force would not make it through and all the air transports where down so there was no evac to the safety of my insanely fortified base so I do the only thing I can thank of I look to my left and see the interface where I type in Lima Alpha Utah November Charlie Huston LC04-5 CD05 N -137 by W-207 and then hit the button in the glass case that flipped open and hear the dreaded words STRATEGIC LAUNCH CODES DETECTED LUANCHER COUNT 4 MISSILE SILOS PAYLOAD TO LAUNCH IS FIVE MISSLES PER SILO AT CORDINATES SET ABOVE. WARNING YOU ARE IN THE BLAST ZONE ARE YOU SURE YOU WISH TO PROCEED and with one final exhale I hit the confirm button and I immediately focus my fire on the Seraphim Ythisioz strategic missile defenses structures to either side of the gate right as my ACU finally comes under fire from the Youthotha I destroy the last one. As I sat there and watched as my shield flared for a few seconds as I continue to fire at the gateways defenses and am thankful now that I had the Titans destroy some of the bases infrastructure. Finally my shields flare for the last time before popping and all I can think is I will see you soon my love just as the world gains 4 new suns seconds apart from each other with me at the center and then everything went black .

Time +9 hours from unexpected shutdown

ACU emergency automatic reboot sequence begin

Command accepted

ACU pilot registers unconscious

Emergency command override: wake up protocol begun

Command accepted administering wake up cocktail and slight shock to wake pilot

Operation success pilot awakening now

ACU Pilot Reven command code accepted welcome sir

ACU Pilot Reven: access ACU diagnostic and repair terminal

ACU A.I.: ACU suffered heavy damage during explosion and shut down

Shield generator destroyed

Resource Allocation System intact

Tech 3 engineering suite crippled beyond repair has now been downgraded to standard tech 1 suite but with access to needed mass and energy could be reactivated and repaired

ACU torso, legs, arms and head have been repaired of major damage during +9 hour shutdown with on board repair protocol and all systems operational

ERROR schematic data base damaged some entries missing

Warning suit is now floating in geosynchronous orbit of unknown planet where most of the surface has been turned to glass and all water has been removed from the surface by intense heat scaring suggests the planet was targeted by plasma based weaponry

Notice ACU is in stable condition to re-enter orbit with use of built in thrusters and hunker module

Diagnostic end

ACU Pilot Reven: begin re-entry

+00:30 minutes from ACU reactivation

If anyone on the planet where alive and they looked up they would have thought an asteroid was about to strike the desolate planet as a massive fire ball streaks towards the surface

+01:00 Hour(s) from ACU reactivation

A massive impact shakes the surface of the planet as the fire ball impacts the planet itself and leaves a huge crater

+02:45 Hour(s) from ACU reactivation

Massive buildings begin to dot the horizon nestled into a cliff side as a huge walker is seen moving amongst the buildings. as mass extracts are built in the cliff face and begin to pull solid mass out of the ground and store it in massive quantum storage structures near them to be used by factories that could be seen making tanks and building machines. The ACU began the creation of new units and structures and the humming of massive power generators generating power and sending it to power storage to charge the defense cannons that where being built by smaller wheeled car looking vehicles that could be identified as Cybran tier 1&2 Engineers and structures that were pumping out tanks and planes as well as the ACU and engineers Nano-Lathe beams that where constructing even better buildings and walls

+04:30 Hour(s) from ACU reactivation

Even larger structures begin to dot the landscape as walls span the perimeter of the base complex and shield generators create massive bubbles of pure energy to shield what's inside (this is a Cybran tech 2 shield that has been upgraded to mark 5) and large cannon emplacements (these are UEF Triad tech 2 point defenses) are set up at the entrances of the base and massive rocket towers are built inside the walls perimeter to protect against planes attacking (these are the UEF tech 3 Flayer SAM sites) and tanks that look like large versions of the Scorpion MBT (UEF MA12 Striker tech 1 medium tank) form columns at certain points inside the walled perimeter to await deployment along with small spider-bots (Cybran tech 1 Mantis assault bots) as pristine white hover craft with long guns pointed to the sky (Aeon Fervor tech 1 light artillery) settle into another sector of the waiting area and massive long range artillery cannons (Cybran tech 2 Gunther light artillery emplacement) are set at key points along the walls and cliffs aimed towards the skies awaiting something to pass into its firing range to engage. Missile silos (this is the Cybran TML-4 missile silo) churn out tactical missiles to be fired at long ranges at structures and slow moving objects or ships while massive clouds of fighter/bombers fly about on patrols outside the walls and long range recon planes fly at max range to give sight to the command map and those that need it stop to refuel (two types of planes here both Cybran the tech 3 spy plane called the Spook and the tech 2 fighter/bomber the Corsair)

Massive times skip here but nothing else gets added except experimental buildings

+36:00 hours (for the record this is not military time just hours since the ACU came online)

Now massive structures so large there barrels stick into the sky dot the base built into the cliff while 2 massive white structures are built in the middle of the most heavily defended points on opposite sides of the base (the UEF Mavor experimental artillery which is the literal definition of reach out and touch someone as it can precisely hit a target halfway around the planet with enough calculations and the Aeon Paragon Experimental Resource Generator which once built can create renewable energy that it can take and turn into mass as well) and a large launch platform looking area that is in the middle of launching a pod into orbit which is a spy satellite and a massive laser weapon that has a long charge time (this is the UEF Novax Center which is capable of building and launching a pod every so often)

+2 Day(s) from ACU reactivation (POV Switch)

The Innocence Lost is a covenant corvette slick fast and really hard to detect at long range commanded by Des'Letra comes out of slip space to scan the planet as the Hierarchs decreed for all planets that have been glassed in there glorious war against the humans this planet was the first to be taken from those human savages and one of the most hard fought for by the humans but they were finally driven off after the glassing and now he had the lowly job of scanning these planets instead of participating in glorious battle against them suddenly one of the elites overseeing the scans stated "Shipmaster we have a large number of contacts on the surface in a large cluster if I had to guess I would say it was a base of the humans built but to only have ground side defenses is unlike them and I see no signs of fleet activity I would recommend caution though as some of these contacts are massive in size and scale not something that could have been assembled in a short time ."

I reply "I agree comms get me a line to the Hierarchs in the mean time sound the battle call and muster all troops to ready status."

"Yes Shipmaster." Stated the ships second in command

"Sir we have a comms line to the Hierarch's chamber I forwarded the relevant scan data and you have an audience with Truth, Mercy and Regret, themselves." Stated the Comms officer

"Well that was fast I wonder what they have to say about this situation put me through to them on the holo terminal and silence on the bridge." I stated

Truth then spoke "Fleet Master how nice to see you we have seen you scans and have decide it was indeed suspicious that such large structures where built on that planet since our last scan 7 galactic days ago so I sent orders for two assault carriers and their Shipmaster to rendezvous with you in orbit and for you to take control of one of the ships. One whose shipmaster has recently had a promotion just as you have and once they arrive your corvette is to move in to position to glass the area if troops cannot breach the area in the first wave my you bring death on the primitives you are dismissed to carry out your orders."

"Yes Noble Hierarchs I will do as you order" I stated

"Congratulation on the promotion Fleet Master may I request to take over as your XO on the carrier Fleet Master?" asked the Current XO

"I am sorry old friend but this ship will need a new Shipmaster after my departure I am promoting you to that spot your current orders are to land troops out side of the base and try and communicate if it is human give it the usual message and kill if not then see if we can get them to join our glorious Covenant if your troops should somehow fail to these primitives then move the corvette into position over the base and glass the area and then return to orbit." I stated

"Yes Fleet Master it will be done in the name of the Covenant your new ship should be here within a few hours I wish you well on you new ship and I hope your crew will serve with distinction Fleet Master."

Any ways for anyone who stayed and read this I wanted to say thanks hope you enjoyed the first chapter of many and I know I have been gone for a while and I am back and I have some new story ideas whichever one is the most popular after a week's time I will make my main story that will get the most updates and the rest will be like side stories and maybe I can end up finding a way to tie all my stories together like one of my favorite authors RebukeX7 and his friend Jorn117 (who do a life is a game series check it out it's a good group of stories) I also want to give rebuke credit for finally getting me into writing these stories as well as AlwaysBetOnVoid who got me into writing my Warhammer story.
