To fight one's enemy, one must have understanding of them. War is a constant collision of different morals and codes colliding against one another, and for what? When a group emerges from a long series of battles, and all sides are finished counting their losses, are the victors satisfied that they now have complete control of every single neighboring group? Yes, most likely.

As victor of war, every single group are now expected to submit to their authority quietly. The simple message to all who may choose to oppose this authority: "Join us or die." That authority was going to spread no matter if anyone would dare speak out against them. The more this new authority ruling all spreads, the more power they have.

Even if the victor holds the key to a power that may put some into a state of fear, there will always be a spark of rebellion from those who believe that the governing system is unjust and harmful. With their lives, rebels will risk themselves for the sake of securing a better tomorrow, for the children, for the future.

There is always one questions that these rebels have: "Is it worth it?"

1945

Near Breslau, Germany

"Der Riese" ("The Giant")

"EDWARD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! OPEN THE DOOR!"

It seems that for one man, he would seek to go against his superior and gain full control. Doctor Edward Richtofen has his superior, Doctor Ludvig Maxis, trapped inside a teleporter that they have worked on together for quite some time during the long run of World War II. Maxis was trapped inside the teleporter, right beside his beloved daughter, Samantha.

Serves him right, according to Richtofen. Maxis had doubted his abilities and position in Group 935, but now Richtofen was going to pull off the ultimate vengeance.

"EDWARD! OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!"

Nothing would phase the doctor. The weeping of Maxis' child, Samantha, only put a smirk on his face.

"STAY BY ME SAMANTHA!"

"Goodbye…Doctor Maxis!" Richtofen grinned as he activated the teleporter.

Richtofen only began to cackle, thinking that now he could initiate his plan, without interference of his superior.

Not yet.

Richtofen heard the sound of a gun being cocked. When he turned, he saw this man in a green attire, with canisters tied down on a bandolier, pointing a pistol, the MR6, at him.

Tank Dempsey.

"This ain't funny doc!" He grumbled.

Richtofen heard the sound of a shotgun being pumped as a cartridge was ejected from it. The gun was called, the KRM-262. He saw who it was, a bearded man who appeared to be wearing a flight helmet on his head, wore a green-yellow attire and dark pants, pointing an unusual shotgun at him.

Nikolai Belinski.

"Turn around." He commanded.

And yet another man jumped into the scene. He had a katana at his side, his hair wrapped up in a bun, a green top with the sleeves ripped off. He, like Dempsey, was pointing the MR6 pistol at Richtofen.

Takeo Masaki.

"Slowly." He added.

The unusual thing about these three was, they were originally trying to apprehend the man they were pointing their guns at in Northern France in the year 1918, at the height of the First World War. For each of their countries, Dempsey for America, Nikolai for Russia, and Takeo for Japan, they needed to capture Doctor Edward Richtofen, and possibly secure the German weapons for the benefit of their own countries.

However, after a series of struggles in that muddy, German excavation site, they had all found Richtofen in a bunker, performing surgery on a man named...Maxis, from the skull. Seeing as they were stuck in the infected dig site, they had to set aside each other's differences and work together to survive.

Now the three were transported to the future.

From a girl, Samantha Maxis, trapped in this mysterious abyss called "Agartha" they learned in France of what was yet to come, and they had come to ensure that everything was set right.

The only way to do that, was to send the three soldiers to the year that would mark the end of the Second World War.

"Do you know WHO I AM?!" Richtofen exclaimed in question.

"Yeah, we know." Dempsey responded. "That's why you better do exactly what we say."

"A great evil approaches." Nikolai informed Richtofen. "There is a chain of events that must be set in motion."

Just then, they began to hear the howls and screams of the creatures they encountered in Northern France. Zombies.

Dempsey turned to Takeo and nodded his head as he and Nikolai took his position to mount a defense of the incoming hoard.

"The future hangs by a thread. You must awaken the test subjects." Takeo said, before putting away his gun and taking out his katana.

In a few moments, the zombies, taking shape of un-dead German soldiers, began to come after them. While Richtofen began to carefully adjust a control panel for the teleporter, the other three were mounting their defenses. The teleporter then gave off a signal, and they tried their best to persuade Richtofen.

"Richtofen! Whatever you're thinking of doing…DON'T DO IT." Dempsey urged.

"You DO NOT want to meet what's on the other side of that door." Nikolai said.

"You cannot begin to comprehend the great evil you could unleash!" Takeo exclaimed.

Richtofen chose to go against their requests and pushed the button on the control panel. The door on the teleporter began to slide open and inside the foggy machine, the shadow of a person stood, facing Richtofen.

The one who emerged from the teleporter appeared to be…Edward Richtofen only…this Richtofen appeared to be younger. It was the young doctor that Dempsey, Nikolai, and Takeo encountered in 1918. The young Richtofen looked at his older self with disgust, while the older Richtofen only smiled, and prepared to greet his younger self, taking off his cap and holding it to his chest.

Staring eye to eye for a couple seconds, the young Richtofen raised an MR6 to the older Richtofen's face, and pulled the trigger without a moment of second thought.

"DAMMIT RICHTOFEN! I thought we were done with this!" Dempsey grumbled.

"What can I say Dempsey? Things change…" Richtofen responded calmly.

"Only a fool would dare to change history!" Nikolai commented.

"I am no fool." Richtofen retorted, joining the other three, holding up his pistol. "What I do, I do only to secure a better tomorrow."

"Yeah…? Well let's see if we live to see it…" Dempsey said.

And so from there…The journey of the four began once more. A fight against the un-dead, the remnants of Group 935.

It begins again...

Aboard the "Ghost"

Outer Rim

A single rebel cell fighting against the iron fist of the Galactic Empire, was suiting up for a standard op. They had received word from the Rebel Alliance that the Empire was working with creating an army of super soldiers, and creating new weapons for the sake of crushing the rebels. The crew of the Ghost consisted of a variety of well talented individuals, cast off from each of their old lives and homes.

Ezra Bridger, the Padawan.

Sabine Wren, the explosives expert, the Mandalorian.

Kanan Jarrus, the leader, the Jedi Knight.

Hera Syndulla, the pilot, the twi'lek.

Zeb Orrelios, the muscle, the lasat.

C1-10P "Chopper", the droid.

Accompanying them were a couple of officials and high commanders in the Rebel Alliance.

A clone trooper named CT-7567, Captain "Rex" and a former Jedi Padawan, Ahsoka Tano.

"What do you suppose the Empire could be building this time?" Zeb wondered.

"I have NOOOOOOOO idea." Hera said.

"Nothing we can't handle? Right guys?" Ezra questioned with a smirk.

"Sure." Sabine shrugged.

"I wouldn't be so sure Ezra." Ahsoka commented.

"It'd be best to just be extra cautious this time kid." Rex said. "Its just simple reconnaissance."

"Its never "simple" Rex." Ezra groaned. "There's something that could potentially endanger other systems! And the Empire is getting it!"

"Focus Ezra." Kanan said. "Ahsoka, why don't you brief us?"

"Sure thing Kanan." Ahsoka responded.

A blue hologram projection was brought up of an Imperial base on an asteroid.

"According to rebel intelligence..." Ahsoka began. "The Empire has been excavating a new resource and is trying to experiment with it."

"What do you suppose they're trying to accomplish with this new resource?" Kanan asked.

"What kind of experiment?" Ezra asked.

"That's what we're going to find out." Ahsoka responded. "All we know is the Empire is using it to improve their power sources, and potentially create...create advanced stormtroopers and new weaponry."

"Well, advanced or not, I'm crushing those bucket heads!" Zeb growled.

"There'll be plenty of time for that." Kanan chuckled. "Let's get ready."
