Eastern Japan, First day of the Invasion. Year: 2017
Above the city was silver sphere spaceship and below it was city gridlocked in a furious battle. Soldiers in beige uniforms and grey armor with color coded helmets had assault rifles aimed at horde of large black ants heading in their way. Shell casings rained to the pavement.
The squad fired their weapons at the insects as the bullets made the insects bleed green blood. One soldier was caught in the mandibles of one insect and with the building force the body was split in half. The leg twitched in the mandibles of the black ant then was blasted apart by gun fire. The men kept backing up as the swarm surrounded them. The teams have never expected to fight such an enemy; the ants were able to feel pain.
A soldier with a shotgun blasted the eye out of the socket of an ant. The soldier pumped out the shell as he continued to fire. Another soldier had his F-14 rifle on extended magazines then had the ants at bay, just enough space for him to retreat. Another soldier was close to a building wall.
"DIE you monsters!" The soldier screamed as he his helmet cracked from a tackle of an ant.
"I hope you choke on me!" He shouted, he was slammed into a wall again and gagged up blood. "Is that all you got!?" The soldier was slammed again then the soldier went limb.
The squad was overrun by the ants as the streets had nothing but the corpses of soldiers and ants. Then the soldier looking at up from the wall took a good view of ants chasing civilians down the street. Picking up a rock the soldier tossed it at an ant to be ignored. Selfish bastards, they're in for the kill. The soldier thought. After a second a group of ants combusted in fire and screeched to each other. Then there was a second explosion. More ants were sent flying, and there was a pause. "What the hell?"
There was two more shots causing an explosion to the horde and after several seconds, there was gunfire from rifles. The soldier squinted through his helmet as the ants were being killed off and then an opening was made with a squad of soldiers. They killed the rest of the horde. A captain approached him in from the smoke.
"Are you alright?" The captain asked. The wounded soldier could tell because of the black helmet.
"Yes sir. Reporting for duty." The soldier laughed but the pain stabbed him again. "Give me a moment." The man grunted.
"Rest easy, we're here to fight."
"Storm One report!" The radio scrambled.
"This is Storm One; we've caught up to Blizzard Seven. Most of the team was killed but there are several survivors. Requesting half the squad to extract while the other half will move toward the city park." The Captain asked. This military was seen as a paranoid sham. The public had a collective hatred toward the forming of the Earth Defense Force. Today will define on what the world will think.
"Granted Storm One! Now move out, Ranger Three is calling for backup."
"One it sir!" The Captain removed his hand from his ear then walked up to the wounded soldier. "You're in for the long haul now." The Captain offered his hand. "We have to move, now."
"Roger that." The soldier stood up and was successfully evacuated. The war against the Ravagers was on.
On the city streets more people were in awe and horror of the space ships that outnumbered the clouds. The leader of the team was nearly leading the charge with ten willing soldiers into the abyss.
"Hurry, follow the Captain." The wounded soldier ordered the rest of his surviving platoon. He was the Sergeant of Blizzard Seven; their leaders were killed off leaving him in command. The rest of Blizzard Seven and the wounded made it out of the A.O. (Area of Operation) More giant bugs needed new bullet holes. From there the war raged on for Two Brutal months, between the spaceships, the various insects, and towering machines the EDF was beaten into a corner.
Each command center for the continents were being knocked out one by one and the last one standing was Asia's command, which was located in Japan. It would be a week before the assault and the world rallied the remnants of their armies. America sent soldiers; Europe sent supplies and weapons as the rest gathered for the final stand of humanity.
"This is command, we've put up a great fight and we not go quietly into the night." The commander spoke the words he never truly agreed with for the sake of others. "We did all we could and we'll never surrender, they will remember Humanity for our spirit! It's has been an honor." The commander stood up as the rest of the military prepared hours before the Mothership arrived.
"Sir there are enemy drop ships off the shorts, they seem to be closing in from all around." A young analyst pointed out. He quivered in the possibility of his final thoughts.
"Tell the South American Forces to intercept." The commander sighed. I've been ordering soldiers to their deaths this whole time. When will it end? The commander felt the pressure of his guilt.
"Roger, their reporting that the ships are clearing a path for the Mothership."
"Ready the men, this is it." The silver round ship hovered of the ruined city of Japan. Many of the forces were in combat. The American forces kept the giant machines out of the way for Japanese forces. (The robots are called Hectors.) The Europe's Air Force kept the gunships busy for a while.

"Sir this is Storm One, awaiting orders." The soldier shouldered his Rocket Launcher; the real battle was here, in the twilight hour. The squads on all sides aimed their guns.
"See you in the next life sir." Ranger Six reported from their sniper's nest on top of a sky scrapper.
From the clouds, she appeared; her vile sight of reckoning. Gunships at her back and ships loaded with eager ants.
"Cover me." The Storm One Captain ordered over the comms. The soldier charged with three weapons at his back. On F-21 Assault Rifle, the experimental Cascade rocket launcher, and G4 Buffalo Shotgun. He marched forward, the insects started to deploy, the teams converged and unleashed a fury of fire. Storm One's first target was an energy Hector. The arms spewed slow pink balls of energy, the Storm One fired his Cascade on full burst as ten missiles blasted the an arm and leg. It as it fell backward; it was blasted by a sabre round of a M7 Tank. Storm One nodded to the tank as it backed up as three spiders crawled from a highway exit. Storm One reached for his G4, he pumped the first shell as it was loaded with heated slug rounds. Very deadly and with the first shot it knocked back the pack leader as it was split in half. Storm One fired again and again as the spiders stood no longer in his way. The mothership breezed on during the battle.
Storm One kept his G4 out as the rest of the army was following his trail. The Ranger Six covered Storm One on the bugs and gunships he couldn't see. In the sniper's sight was a crimson ant and was shielded by silver. The Ranger looked from his scope as a heavy gunship charged its cannons and the rooftop erupted in fire.
On his right there was a horde of Red Ants and one the move, Storm spent all the ammo for the G4 so he tossed it to the ground. So whipping out his F-21, the soldier's helmet reflected the flashes of light as many ants died on their charge. The lead red ant wasn't stopping and pinched the armor of Storm One. He felt the pressure but the armor he was given can take the punishment. Grunting on the building pressure he set the barrel to the eye and unloaded it onto the ant. After five seconds the Ant was dead.
"Hey Captain!" A Blue helmeted Sergeant shouted over the gun fire of a squad following closely behind him. "Need help?" The Sgt. ordered his squad to form a perimeter. Two soldiers pulled the mandibles away. Above them a wave of Apache Helicopters zoomed past them to combat the gunships. The Apaches could take a hit as the plasma takes time to pierce the armor.
"I've got nothing left to lose man, bring it on!" One of the pilots shouted. Now out of the mandibles, Storm One got to his feet. Looking up, the mothership opened a port with a heavy gun ejecting out of it.
"There, the cannon is exposed. All troops, attack!" The commander roared. The remaining soldiers kept firing on their targets. Storm one set his Cascade to single fire and with accuracy, the explosions of the gun were apparent. As that happened a swarm of insects showed up and was followed by spiders.
Seeing the need, the Sgt. looked down. "Make this count." The Sgt. walked in front of his men and fired his assault rifle into the masses. The rest of the team did the same thing. A web wrapped a soldier and was pulled away from the group, while being dragged in, the soldier was torn apart by the ants. A severed arm swung out to break glass.
"JUST DIE!" The Sgt. Yelled on the top of his lungs; the rest of the squad kept the suppression. As that happened the team, prevented the first wave at the cost of half the squad. They turned their head to the Mothership as the large gun was on fire and it was dropped and crashed into the city with a wave of dust.
"We did it!" One of the soldiers raised his hands into the air in the blind excitement. After thirty seconds, the Mothership was still hovering as twenty more guns were sticking out of and the air rained plasma shots knocking the helicopters out of the air.
"Damnit." The wounded Sgt. sighed.
"We're not done." Storm One looked up again as he aimed his Cascade. Other teams with rocket launchers started to fire at the guns. Over a minute more soldiers from all sides, destroyed half the guns. With the need of energy, the mothership was exposed to the ground teams and they fired the remaining shells at the mothership. With the tattered ship the Storm One set the Cascade to automatic. Looking up Storm One; emptied the clip to the exposed port as the Mothership blasted in fire and the guns fell apart. The mothership was taken down, Storm One turned around to the dead team and he fell to the pavement and his armor seeped with blood. For today, the Ravagers were defeated. The gunships fell from the sky and the insects retreated underground. The war isn't over yet, not by a long shot.
Japan 2023
Myles Anderson stood outside a EDF registration center wondered what could this bring for him. "Hey Myles come one, the train will arrive in a minute." A friend called out.
"Sure thing." Myles turned from the EDF building to go to school.
For those who don't know Earth Defense Force is a video game of makeshift military created to face the threats of outer space. The army fights Giant insects, towering machines, and spaceships with guns and a can do attitude. I love Earth Defense Force, the weapons, the destruction, and the voice acting. It's so terrible but in a good way. Several things you should know about me is that I love to do action and other things. I think I can pull it off for this story. Also this is just te beginning, there will be more EDF in the future. Please tell me what you think and have an awesome day.
