For any wondering or any reading this, this is my first story i have actually written so if things don't seem to make a lot of sense, OK review and I'll try and improve on it and please do read the HOLE story before you criticize me.

Also with the hole thing of the Infinite war going on for the characters ages i have it for some of them to be a lot older than in game wise since i mean over 1000 years and you expect me to believe that life expectancy seems about now a days, that's bull so i will have it so they are older but look as if they were around now...might ask to borrow something from Guardian54...good writer has good ideas for this series.

Supreme Commander

Chapter 1 the New Guy

Operation Joust August 8 3842

"Hello Commander." A voice came from an open comm. channel from Xin's Acu control interface, showing a man in his early 50's or late 40's. "I am Avatar of war, Kratos, and you will follow my orders and only mine am I understood!" Then as Xin was about to answer, another comm. channel had opened up revealing a women in her late 40's. "The Princess still controls the illuminate Kratos; you should take care to remember that." She said as if she had gone through this conversation before.

"Ah Evaluator Kristina..., the Princess may control the Illuminate but she is not of a military mind, it is thanks to my actions that have been leading us to victory. I am the Aeon military!" The Avatar said, stating that he is the only reason why the illuminate is wining the Infinite War as Kratos was going off Xin began to wouonder from all those years as an ACU pilot finally caught up to this..."Fanatical Tyrant".

"Now then Xin, you are to go to Rigel, a UEF controlled world where Crusader Rhiza is in the thick of it, you are to go there and finish the assault against 2 UEF commanders. Despite all my planning we haven't been able to take the planet from the UEF, Crusader Rhiza has been in constant combat for the past 7 days and is in need of rest but we have been unable to initiate a recall on her Acu due to the mass amount of interference from the assault and Quantum Storm in the system, you are to assist her and conquer the planet." The Avatar stated, to make sure the commander knew that the enemy was experienced in fighting the Aeon, and it wouldn't be an easy assault since Crusader Rhiza was one of their most experienced commanders.

"I understand the mission parameters." Xin replied, knowing that if he doesn't perform well he would be under the Avatars "Wraith" for the remainder of his military career.

"The Evaluator and I will finish our conversation elsewhere, now go, you gate at 14:00 hours." the Avatar stated in a sarcastic tone of voice.

"Take care commanders and remember that our primary mission is to spread the "Way" across humanity." The Evaluator said as her comm. channel was disconnected from her end.

As Xin was readying his ACU for the Quantum Warp to Rigel another Comm. channel had opened. As the Channels closed Xin began to wounder if the Avatar and Evaluator where actually married with the way they seem to go at it arguing from what he could understand to be...A LOT, Xin expecting it to be the Avatar, was shocked to see a face of elegance and peace!

"Hello commander I wish to have met you faced to face but the war has denied me that, so I come to give you a gift of words, your destiny and mine are intertwined in this needless conflict so i wish you luck Commander and let the Way guide you as it does us all." Princess Alexandra said and before Xin could say anything the comm. channel was disconnected by the Quantum Jump as he sat their thinking on how before anything even started he was concerned.

"This operation seems to be more important then I though with the Avatar demanding that I only report to him and the Princesses words seem to have some sort of secret agenda...and why does everyone hang-up on me before i can even answer? What did she mean by our destinies are intertwined, I don't truly understand the Princesses "gift" but I will have to go on it and hope that the future will hold less confusing briefings." Xin stated to himself as he prepared for the long trip to Rigel, which will take roughly 2 hours due to the Quantum Storm in the System.

Planet Rigel 16:22 Planet side. August 8 3842

As the Quantum energy disbursed from the QLZ on Xin's ACU he was being hailed by Crusader Rhiza.

"I don't have time to take care of you commander and/or the patients for you." Rhiza said as Xin looked, he could see the battle fatigue from the Crusader's face, showing that she had been in constant combat against the 2 UEF commanders, who had been able to wittstand the full might of the Aeon and still be able to rest.

"Yes ma'am" Xin said in a military tone of voice.

"I need you to take out the Navel base to your west and the air base to your north east, when you have completed this contact me." Rhiza said with exhaustion.

Xin got the message and began building his T1 naval factory and producing engineers to help build his economy with mass extractor and power generators until he had a strong economy to support a constant stream of units to the field.

As his engineers were building the economy he was preparing his armada and fleet of units, while he was upgrading his Air factory his engineers constructed, he was producing submarines from his naval factory and sent them to scout out the enemy bases... to discover that they were quit fortified they could possibly take a few strategic bombs and still be working as if nothing happened. A while later he had upgraded his economy to T2 then T3, he then started the construction of his battleship group and had destroyer/cruiser escorts with it, to take care of the enemy naval base, which was heavily defended.

While he had been preparing his fleet his engineers were constructing squadrons of interceptors and bombers for the enemy air base which had seemed to be the easier target for Xin but he was taking no chances with this mission for if he failed it would be a very… dead career or worse a drone to be killed off when ever it was required.

"Commander Xin what is taken so long I am in need of assistance here the UEF are pounding my forces into the ground, I need you to get those factories decommissioned as soon as possible." Rhiza said with exhaustion as the battle was still taken a lot out of the Crusader even with the medical equipment and other commodities that can sustain ACU pilots for long conflicts.

"I am moving into position Crusader I will have those factories off-line in a matter of minutes." Xin stated with confidences that his forces would be victories.

Planet Rigel 17:00

As the forces of the illuminate moved into position to engage the enemy bases, Xin had wondered of the words of the Princess "our destinies are linked…" what did she mean about that and why would the Princess say something like that, he then remembered that Rhiza is still waiting for him to get those factories gone with her counting on him to do this "simple" task. As the fleet of ships moved into place the battleships opened fire on the point defenses and torpedo launchers with their powerful oblivion canons along with exodus class destroyer bombardment easily dispatched the enemies' naval factory. As Xin's forces were bombarding the island the UEF commander Berry sent some strategic bombers to deal with the fleet of warships attacking his western flank.

As the "Ambassadors" were rain down hell with miniature nuclear payloads on his fleet he scrambled his ASF to take down the enemies' air force. As the Battle for Air superiority raged between Crusader Rhiza and Commander Barret the forces of Xin had annihilated the threat from the western and eastern bases and were moving in to position on Commander Berry's main base.

"Xin I need you to take out those anti-air defenses on the southern island of the UEF base." Crusader Rhiza stated as she had a plan on finishing the assault on this god for sacking planet she had been trapped on for the past week.

"Understood I will have my forces dispatch them now. Xin out." He exclaimed whilst moving his forces into position just outside of the UEF radar and sonar range.

"All batteries open fire pound these heretics into the ground for they deserve nothing less!" Xin ordered his troops as he felt a sudden chill go down his spine from his words... better try and not sound like a certain "Fanatical Tyrant" he stated in a sarcastic tone to reassure himself. As the Fleet of warships pressed onwards into firing range of the enemies' base, however the UEF commander had sent an "Atlantis" an experimental submersible aircraft carrier that Commander Barret had produced within his defensive line out of Omni range. As the carrier surfaced from the depths of the sea hundreds of Stinger gunships swarmed over the fleet targeting the surprised fleet overpowering their anti-air defenses.

"Shit I need more A.S.F in the air now!" He commanded his engineers from his strategic interface with the task to construct mass amounts of interceptors to engage the enemy while he sent a Cooper Heavy Class ship hunter to take out the Atlantis since it was weak against other naval units and this beats of the depths was made for killing boats. As the interceptors were assembled they were scramble to assists the ever more desperate fleet from the swarm of gunships, the Stinger gunships had sunk most the fleet leaving 2 battleships, 4 destroyers, 3 cruisers and 5 subs with 1 carrier heavily damaged and needing immediate repairs or the Quantum reactor and Mass Fabricator on board would go critical leaving the aircraft inside wasted for that carrier still held 50 strategic bombers, 70 ASF, and 45 AA gunships to finish up any stragglers left after the fleet had finished, but now it would seem they are the main force for this assault...go figure.

As the interceptors clashed with the gunships the majority of what was left of the fleet moved ahead to complete their objective, while the carrier pulled back for repair. The battle group had begun their bombardment of key strategic structures like the UEF quantum reactor and quantum mass fabricator that would cripple any economy if lost and leave horrible wreckage around them for they are quite volatile but the problem was preaching the heavy shields the UEF had to defend their base, as the first shield went off-line the battle Group concentrated on the nearest reactor as the Oblivion canons bore down on the reactor it overloaded and exploded causing a chain reaction with the adjacent reactors causing a good chunk of their point defenses to malfunction and shut down or slow down to near shut-down due to power loss, Xin ordered his carrier the go ahead to launch all forces on board to these coordinates. As the carrier received the command the carrier became active into a hive of activity as ASF took of giving escort to the Strategic bombers and gunships to ensure that they will reach their destination and complete the objective.

As the carriers' forces moved into formation to assault the remaining defenses, the UEF defenses had been scrambled with Anti-air SAM turrets and burst flak cannons with ASF patrols.

As the ASF collided and gunships, strategic bombers fallen from the air crashing into the defenses below, colliding an damaging the structures and forces, as the Restorer AA gunships moved in to clean up the remains as the strategic bombers had released their quark energy bombs had rippled through the enemies reactors which had caused an opening for the remaining gunships and bombers to proceed to the UEF commanders ACU.

"Commander Barret I need assistance the Aeon forces are over running my position and my defenses are crippled." Commander Berry told his superior in a panic.

"I hear yeah Berry I have a squadron of bombers and ASF on their way to deal with the enemy forces hang tight." Commander Barret said with an assuring tone of voice.

As the Aeon and UEF air forces collided the ASF were busy shooting each other that the Strategic bombers had slipped through and where heading towards Xin's resource complex the only thing in the way of them was a patrol group of 3 cruisers and 7 ASF, as the Squadron of strategic Ambassadors were in range of the cruisers SAM weapons the 7 ASF moved into intercept what was left after the volley from the SAM turrets to finish them off before they could release their nuclear payload.

Planet Rigel 19:00 August 8 3842

As the Xin's squadrons were cleaning the remains of Berry's base the commander had retreated towards commander Barret's forward defenses to support his CO for he would be unable to reclaim the island base he had for the Aeon had moved and constructed a fire base to assist and resupply their forces.

"Xin well done my main forces are moving in to finish the UEF you will support them from the fire base with artillery fire and anti-air support understood." Rhiza said with relief in her voice since she knew that the quicker this conflict ended the sooner she could rest and have some decent food and actual warm water.

"Understood I have my ASF they are patrolling the outer rim of the UEF defense line." Xin exclaimed with hope that his success here would mean that the Avatar of War would approve of his status as the Princesses Champion if not well that is self explanatory.

As the Czar moved into position from the Crusaders southern base, the forces it was carrying prepared to launch the squadrons of fighters, bombers and gunships that would be able to land the killing blow in the UEF's defensive line, with a force this large the UEF defenses would be overwhelmed from the swarms of enemy aircraft.

As the UEF radar had detected the Experimental carrier moving on the edge of their defensive CO Barret had Berry move into position with what forces he could produce and what Barret had given to him, to hold their center while Barret directed the side defenses. Barret had believed that they could hold their lines long enough to form a counter attack to the Aeon forces moving onto their current position being now boxed in since the arrival of the second Aeon commander had turned their hold of this planet into a last ditch survival strategy to get them off this rock, unfortunately for Barret the fire base Xin had set up near their defense of line had been pounding away at the shield generators and AA defense on the center defensive line so the Czar was more than able to break the UEF lines.

As the swarms of air units overwhelmed the UEF forces the strike forces of bombers had broken through and began their assault on Berry's Acu. As the overwhelming power of the Aeon was more and more apparent Berry had become more panicked and had left his Acu in the economic district of his CO's base, As the bombers released their explosive cargo Berry's Acu reactor had went critical leading into a nuclear explosion killing Berry and a majority of his CO's economy.

"Now burn you heretic, let the Way be your guide in the next life." Crusader Rhiza stated as the CZAR began firing the quantum beam mounted in the depth center of its design, as the beam tore through the UEF buildings it had set its sights for CO Barret. The CZAR made quick work of the unit's heavy armor causing the Acu to go nuclear as his subordinate did.

"The UEF commanders are defeated Crusader the planet is ours!" Xin explained with great enthusiasm and relief.

"Well done Xin you have performed honorably in the service to the Princess and the Avatar-Of-War. I shall be gating back to Orionis as soon as the techs can get a lock on me in this quantum storm or until it subsides until then i shale rest you are to finish establishing the foot hold we have here understood." Rhiza stated with a surprising amount of joy in her tone that made her seem more appealing to Xin rather than the great warrior that would burn you alive.

"Very well Crusader Rhiza enjoy your rest for you have earned it undoubtedly i shall commence standard operations in the mean time ." Xin stated with much respect for the great warrior he was speaking to.

4 Hours later

The storm had finally past as the energies from the quantum gate began to form the Crusaders Acu had moved into position for the jump back to Orionis. Xin had completed his duties and now was beginning to think of the trials ahead of him as the Infinite war rages on else where.

"Well hopefully the Avatar won't be so..."tyrannical" the next time i get an Op." Xin stated with much hope that he would be, As Xin was making his point to himself a comm. Channel had opened.

"Commander Xin this is Aeon command, Crusader Rhiza has gated to Orionis and has given use her evaluation of your performance she sends her personal regards and thanks to you Xin for if it were not for you she probably would never had made it off Rigel and it would not have been a victory this day." As Aeon command gave the message Xin was astonished that the Crusader gave so much praise for his efforts. "You are to gate back to Seraphim II immediately for preparations with the Avatar and Princess."

"Understood I'll gate back as soon as the recharge time is finished" Xin stated rather quickly.

1 Hour later

As the energies of the quantum gate began to manifest around Xin's Acu his thoughts of the future came back into his mind and his military career was about to become a lot more complicated as the battle of Rigel would be his beginning of his Infinite war trials.
