A/N: The first entry of a planned anime/live-action crossover multiverse, nicknamed The Ancient Multiverse of Mystic Characters. This franchise is adjunct to the main Mystic Cinematic Universe, both based on Marvel films as inspirations. (I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, except my inspirational idea)

Takes place in Edge of Tomorrow, with two characters from Re:Zero, and a few OC characters (one who is similar to Venom). This story would be striking similar to Venom, but I DON'T OWN, only as an inspiration. I also imagined this story myself to be in RealD 3D or IMAX 2D/3D. I was going to make a specially IMAX formatted M-rated version of the story (due to blood and gore), but I prefer this version to be rated T due to some coarse language.

Enjoy.

Emilia's eyes slightly open, with Ferris laying down on her.

It turns out they were inside a helicopter with a general named William Cage, on route to the United Defense Force building in London.

"Where am we?", Emilia muttered.

The last thing Emilia remembered was that she was sleeping with her boyfriend Ferris the last night, and the next morning they ended up on the helicopter, in another dimension.

While Ferris woke up, Emilia watched a broadcast of the news on the helicopter's broadcast screen. She was new to the technological things in the modern future reality, like how her friend Subaru orginated back in their dimension.

Emilia was horrified when learning there was an alien invasion force had been discovered several years prior from fallen meteors, called the Mimics. The invasion zone consumed areas like the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Italy, Poland and France. News like Mimics breaching Paris barricades, terror alerts and new military plans on the fifth anniversary of the invasion with Wolf Blitzer had shocked Emilia as the broadcast make a reflection in her eyes. Then, the broadcast said there was a historical event called the Victory of Verdun with a new strategy following after it.

That's when they saw William Cage on the broadcast, the general who is inside the helicopter with Emilia and Ferris, telling the news host about the new jacket exosuit technology, exampling Rita Vrataski who is named the Angel of Verdun from the victorious battle. The campaign had thousands lined up to enlist in the battle. An ad was shown with Rita Vrataski front and center with the UDF logo, as text says United Defense Force - Without You There Is No Tomorrow.

Emilia and Ferris continue watching the broadcasts on the screen as it shows Operation Downfall with millions of troops mobilizing, and William Cage adds one last note that they will be victorious in the operation, because they fight, and that's what they do.

After watching the broadcast, Ferris asks his girlfriend, "Emilia...where are we?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure. But it looks like we're about to find out.", Emilia told him, as the helicopter was shown flying across London.

While the two were in the helicopter with William Cage, one of the guards open the door which wakes up Cage.

"Before you say anything, name's Emilia. This is my friend Ferris."

Cage hesitated when waking up, "Name's William Cage. I'm a major, media relations department. Didn't see you two coming."

"Oh. You see, we're from another...place. The last thing we know, we were in our bedroom, and now we're here in this helicopter when we woke up. Any ideas where it's headed?", Emilia asked.

The major told her, "Well, it's the year 2020 and this helicopter is heading to the UDF building in London.", as they saw the Big Ben tower.

"Never been here or there before. I just saw you on broadcast.", Emilia noticed, "Didn't notice you until now."

William raised an eyebrow, "Okay. What are you two doing here then, since you're with me? This is military privileges only."

"Let's see...I don't know what happened to us teleporting here, but I guess I am...a reporter. My friend taught me that.", Emilia thought, "My friend's like a doctor?"

Ferris gasped, "No, I'm not."

"Ignore Ferris, he knows his stuff.", apologized the half-elf.

Cage confused, "Wait...your friend's a he? He looks like a girl though."

"Yeah. My name is also Felix. I'm a boy.", he chuckled nervously, "I'm hers."

Emilia made up, "I report things like missing people, protests, networks, news, all sorts. Heard about the new operation too, but it's too risky, you know? I bet that sounds great for you to be a general, right?"

"Right you are.", Cage chuckled.

The helicopter then makes it's way to outside of the UDF building, landing slowly towards the pad.

"Looks like we're here.", Emilia said, as she, Ferris and Cage exit the helicopter, meets up with the UDF representative, and leaves off to their destination.


UNITED DEFENSE FORCE HEADQUARTERS

Escorted by car, Cage, Emilia and Ferris then entered the building.

Inside as they were waiting, an assistant comes and said, "The generals will see you now."

"Thank you.", said the three, Emilia excited, "Right on time! WHOO!", the latter clapping and raising her fists.


The three had met with the two generals once they went inside the boardroom, the first being General Brigham, and the other (an OC character) being General Specialist Maximus Onyx.

"Operation Downfall, the entire might of the UDF, invaded from France, Mediterranean, Scandinavia; relieving pressure in these two front allowing the Russians and Chinese to push the enemy back. We all meet in the middle, exterminating this Mimic scourge along the way. A lot of good soldiers willing to die tomorrow, major. When all the smoke clears and the body bags start coming home, people tend to look for someone to blame, someone like us. Ideally, I'd prefer a different scenario. Please.", General Brigham said.

Cage said, "A best-selling memoir, perhaps? Maybe- Maybe a career in politics. Off the top of my head, I would go with the sense of manifest destiny. Rags to riches, rapid rise through the ranks. Born to deliver us. And the people, well, they love that sort of thing."

"You know what I like about this view of London?", Maximus said, looking out the window, to Emilia; "It never gets old."

Emilia commented, "Yeah, that tower does look great there too, but heights...aren't actually my thing. But you see, I'm a reporter on the news, and I..."

"You misunderstand, guys.", Maximus and Brigham both said, "We didn't ask you all here to sell me. I want you guys to sell the invasion."

Cage and Emilia answer, "Okay."

"You ship out on the coast in one hour, your camera crew is standing by. You'll be on the beach with the first wave.", Brigham assigned.

Emilia questioned, "...What?"

"I'm sorry, the first wave? The beach? You mean the front?", Cage respectfully asked.

Brigham told, "France. Satellites show minimal enemy movement on the coast. Little resistance. A little something, something to tell your grandchildren."

"It doesn't sound so bad, isn't it?", Maximus proved as he shrugged, "It's a strong recommendation."

"I appreciate the confidence, generals.", Cage and Emilia said, "We do this to avoid doing that.", chuckling. The former continued, "I...I was in ROTC in college, the war broke out, I lost my advertising firm. Here I am. Now I do what I do and you...you do what you do, but we're not...soldiers. Really."

Emilia told, "And I don't know how me and Felix came here, but I was on the trip going here, and I report stuff. But not in the amidst of battle, you know?"

"No, of course you're not. That's why I'm embedding you three with several hundred thousand men and women who are.", answered Brigham to Cage and Emilia.

Maximus supported, "I don't think there's any other choice. Full circle."

"Well, it is an honor, generals. I'm afraid I may have to decline.", Cage and Emilia said, "Can't stand the sight of blood. Not so much as a paper cut.", the two chuckling to this joke with the two generals not amused; "But...yeah, sitting here thinking about this...a couple names come to mind...that I feel I could recommend it to you."

The two generals stated, "It is not an offer, guys, major. It's an order."

"So...", Emilia stated, pulling out a small notepad, "...is it true that you, Maximus Onyx, were the orchestrator for many suicide mission assignments? It's just a hunch."

Maximus told, "We're talking about the order."

"No, I'm not. I'm talking about these allegations I just found out.", Emilia said.

"Sorry? I think that doesn't-"

"It says that your entire reputation was built on dead bodies...?"

"Look..."

"It says that you recruit the most vulnerable to volunteer for the army's battles...that more often killing people?"

"Yes, I'm aware of these fake news. There's a lot of fake news out there these days.", Maximus Onyx said, aware.

Cage then said, "Generals, I'm an officer in the United States Military. My friends here are reporters who came from another state. You don't even have the authority."

"We have spoken to your CEO. You are now under my command. You will retain your present rank, of course. My secretary has all the details.", Brigham revealed.

Maximus also said, "And I'm the authority for you and your girlfriend, huh?", to Emilia and Ferris.

"Right. What about the legal cases?", Emilia said, writing down details on the notepad.

The OC general chuckles, "What?"

"Uh, the actual legal cases-"

"Enough. That's it. Time to go. Thank you so much for coming to talk to me.", Maximus said to her, as he and Brigham finished, "Do a good job, guys. Good luck, you're dismissed."

Unsure, Cage, Emilia and Felix get up from their chairs. As they slowly were going on their way, they turn to the two busy generals and the former two asked one more thing, "Generals. We just inspired millions of people to join your army. And...when the body bags come home and they're looking for someone to blame...how hard do you think it would be for us to convince people to blame you. We'd imagine that, general, would prefer to avoid that."

"Are you blackmailing me?", Brigham and Maximus accused.

Cage and Emilia replied, "We would prefer, not to be filming acts of heroism and valor on that beach tomorrow."

The two generals thought about this and got up from their chairs, and came over to the three.

"You won't be.", decided Brigham and Maximus, smiling.

Cage agreed, "We're glad we could work this out."

"Thank you so much, generals.", Emilia and Ferris thanked, as the two and Cage said, "Now, if you'll excuse me...", bumping into a chair before leaving the room with the two generals following and waiting out the door. "Thank you."

But as they were about to leave...

"Arrest these three.", Brigham ordered.

The room turned silent. Cage, Emilia and Ferris were at first confused, then the half-elf's expression turned frightened.

Maximus rose his hand to them and said, "Have a nice life.", as the two generals nodded and went back in the room.

In a moment, the three started rushing out the room, with security guards on their tail.

"We need to get out of here!", yelled Emilia, holding Felix's hand avoiding the guards with tazers.

The three continue running through the halls, avoiding the guards and passing through people...

...but a guard comes in front of them, and stops the three at their tracks.

The guard uses the tazer on them, literally shocking them. Emilia screams in pain as she, Cage and Felix lose consciousness.

As the three lie on the ground, the guards gather and the one who tazed them said, "They're down. Preparing for transport."

Then, the story title is shown with creepy Ludwig Goransson music playing.
