Helltanz's notes: As I stated I am not covering every detail in their lives merely political or militarily relevant details, or magically relevant details, though when I introduce important characters, I will give information, you will understand what I am referring when I get there it will be mentioned in the author notes for the chapter, won't be until the late seventies, for what I am referring to. Also this chapter has a lot of magical combat rather than physical combat, because the original draft, which was noticeably longer, would probably warrant upping this to M. Poland, as well as Egypt and a few others, are officially classified as 'independent' states of the empire.

Chapter Begin

Introduction

"Stalin lived, or rather survived his stoke in the spring of fifty three, he would eventually live to regain complete use of the right side of his body. Though for the next two year Nikita Khrushchev would do most of the actual work while Stalin recovered. Despite the rather unfortunate circumstances Stalin's stroke served to reassure the German High command that the Soviet Union would be able to attack. In the event of such an attack it was suspected the main force of Soviet Tanks, most which were now being replaced by Rhino Heavy Tanks, would be sent through Poland Rather than the more southern Drachen territories, which while possessing a smaller armed force, an army of approximately seven point five million regular military, in addition supplemented by the increased size of the Orden itself, this was due to the presence of major deterrents including the vastly superior air groups, the presence of a UNIT as well the current monopoly on ICBMs by the Orden, and the later revelation of the ADORE, that greatly upset several governments, not that the Axis cares, though the soviets started researching similar tech after seeing the ADORE Three on military drills, it would be nineteen sixty seven before they completed their first fully operational combat unit.

October thitieth nineteen fifty three US President Dwight D. Eisenhower formally approves the top secret document, or so the US thought, National Security Council Paper No. 162/2, which states that the United States' arsenal of nuclear weapons must be maintained and expanded to counter the threats posed by the combined forces of the Tripartie Pact, included and not limited not only communist and Facist powers.That wasn't exactly a particularly wise move considering that Berlin Conference woul be held in less than three months, in a move the SS reveals the existence of the document to the press, which is government controlled.

The conference was droll, the usual lies and posturing about spreading good will, and such for the populous, and attempts to stave off a war.

War could not be avoided, in Indochina, or rather the allied portion of Indochina, to be specific Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh's group of communist rebels were being a general bother to allied forces, and it was likely it would escalate into a full scale war. This was not surprising and it would hold true, and later the South African Union aggresion conflict.

However perhaps the most surprising during this time was an attack against Axis Greece, in the very late of nineteen hundred Fifty four, by a very interesting group of foes, and not the expected allied group but a force even the magical world had thought was a myth. The attack led to the scouring of the Aegean, as well as the much earlier than originally scheduled revealing of the Orden's airborne counterpart to the UNIT, ADORE, another acryonym standing for Airborne Defender of the Reich Empire, more commonly known as Air battleships, to most non Orden members. What was most most surprising were the revelations of additional attacks Orden Turkey, Germanic Kingdom German and Italian ports were also attacked however with the Naval drills in the mediterrean, and the prescence or Orden and elite German Divisions these attack were repeled, beside Axis forces, the allies also suffered attack from this group of foes.

Which led to more tensions especially with the revelation of the Orden's wolves of the sea, shortly after the attacks. On other military notes the arsenals received upgrades, the Dinar VII entered service, in fifty three, among other things, among them the Arab States Navy shipbuilding project was well underway, mostly cruisers, submarines, or destroyers, were their primary focus, beside there singular aircraft carrier constructed during the decade, mainly because of assistance with engineering. This was not to say their destroyers were anything to laugh at, they were in fact more than a match for any Allied destroyer, the same for the ASN Cruisers which benefited from other Axis powers missile technology. Sadly this was not true for their submarines, but you win some you lose some, equivalent exchange.

The Elysium, of the namesake of the class would be completed construction in Oddessa, in fifty four, the same year as Madagascar was welcomed into the Empire as an independent state. The Elysium commisioned in fifty five after completing its naval drills, the Kriegsmarine operated Meadows, would be completed in fifty eight commisioned the same year, it was late certain delays in construction of the ships hull pushed back completion of the ship, the third of the class the Rharian would be completed in nineteen hundred sixty, with the fourth Elsius launched in the same year.

The year following nineteen sixty one marked a major joint naval peacetime training excerise with the soviet navy, three years later another excersise would also occur this one including the air force and the army of the participating nations, indeed the Axis avoided becoming involved in the Indochina conflict, our name for the vietnam conflict for quite a time. Proceeding on the United States also expanded its arsenal during this. As did Imperial armed forces of Japan, the Imperial Japanese Navy went on to build two more Higa class super battleships during this time period. Obviously other warships were produced but it would be much to tedious to cover the building and subsequent launch of the smaller or larger in the case of the few aircraft carriers that were launched during the fifties.

All the other powers saw changes in aircraft sometime before sixty four, upgrades, except the orden for obvious reasons, the first Orden Strike Fighter, F-1 Azhi, would not be replaced until nineteen seventy three, it succesor the F-3 would be capable of both atmospheric as well as capable of prolonged independent space flight. At the moment the non Axis powers are unaware of this fact, even though we have since moved on to the F-13 as our primary strike fighter and they are aware of its capacity for such flight.

Back to the fifties shortly after the attack we identified our attackers, Grindelwald and myself advised heavily against retalitaory action by the extremist group of the mythical populous, unfortunatley the British disagreed leading to the Naval battle of Hercule's pillars. The Kingdom would be formally recognized in nineteen fifty eight.

The South African Union and the Western Nationalist states of Africa were formally recognized during this year as well, the SAU claim as a Free African State, a similar claim was made by the more peaceful WNSA was received much better, The claim by the SAU but even more so by its brutal tactics and militarist method of handling things lead to worries amongst the United States and Axis states. The United Kingdom during this time also slowly reverted more and more power back to the queen, who I will conceed is an excellent monarch. Under her Reign non magical England began to slowly expand its technological and military capablities. Though the country would still lag a slight bit behind the US for a nother few years, and though the nation still lacked a stalwart Super Battleship, The King William class Super carrier proved to be quite effective. It would eventually in sixty five launch the Duke of Normandy the nations first true Super Battleship, resolving the problem, which while no match in all out slug fest with an Elsium class was still a powerful ship, its secondary battleship guns were were two rows of Triple Tristan forty two centimeter naval guns, and its primary armament were Galahad sixty four centimeter naval guns. Both aformentioned ships classes would see extensive deployment during the South African Union aggression conflict."

Empire of the United Axis Alliance States, Empire of Dracaena, Ukraine, Kiev, Order of the Dragon Headquarters

Asran looked over the files. The Allies were occupied in Indochina. The death eyed knight glared at the wall. "The universe conspires to not grant me a moment's peace."

"So destroy the Universe."

"Not amusing."

"Why you could at least destroy this world the ritual you are what you-"
"That is enough, I am what I am, it means nothing."

"If that is as you say. I will abide father."

Asran slumped into his chair.

"They posed that covenant sublime… which would span both space and time…"

"Indeed. Eternal and forever."

"So do you intend to at least to destroy England or perhaps one of the Americas?"
"No."

"Not yet you mean, as you said the Universe conspires against you."
"No and I do mean no." Asran closed the file and vanished.

Europe, magically shielded isle Northern Ireland

Tom examined the Scythe. Reaching out to touch the blade.

"Ow." The Slytherin house Alumni yelped jumping back.

"Maybe touching the blade isn't the best idea." Stated Abraxas before wilting under Tom's glare.

"I knew that I didn't think it would burn me though." Muttered Tom.

"Remove the crystals on the platform first there concealed ward stones."

"Asran. Why the bloody hell do you say that?"
"Hmm. Lets see other then I know more about wards than any one in Europe."

"Fine." Tom grouchily replied.

The former Slytherin head boy slowly removed the first corner crystal.

Abraxas removed the next one.

Tom removed the third crystal.

"Ah the last one is a trigger stone, leave it be."

Abraxas jumped back away from the crystal.

"Watch for pressure sensors on the Scythe."

Empire, Europe, Eastern Germanic State, Greece, Athens

The attackers looked like something out of a picture of the Trojan War.

"What is going on? How are spears penetrating tank armor?"
"Apparently the attackers can fly as well, the spears are not normal, and their shields reflect bullets both appear to be constructed of the same metal." Grunted Grindelwald drawing his own sword.
"Adimantium, it's obvious." Stated the Order of the Dragon leader.

"Well excuse us Alchemist King." Snipped Sehkmet.
Asran rolled his eyes, drawing Gram. "Cover is relatively useless do be careful." The death eyed knight growled stopping an adimantium arrow which had pierced through the wall with out slowing down.

"Well this is going to be fun." Cackled Sehkmet.

The remaining of the Four collectively sighed exasperated.

"Split up but don't act rash the Drachenorden has arrived to reinforce the city. I am heading to the Parthenon it seems to be where a large number are gathering." "We will meet up at the harbor then."

Asran spun around driving Gram through the hand guard of the Greek short sword.

"This is becoming quiet the nuisance." Asran muttered driving his boot into the Amazon's gut.

"Ye white fire, Hammer of the dragon, roar and strike."

'Signature Orden Battle Sorcery Incantation, A favorite spell of my knights, reinforcements have arrived.' Indeed a division of Orden knights stood about the roof tops of Athens.

"Lord Asran, your commands."

"Push them back into the Aegean." Growled the Duke of Kiev dodging a spear thrust.

The demon sword sliced through the adimantium armor with much greater ease than the other Knights' blades, but so was expected of a creation of the legendary smith Wayland.

Asran stepped through onto the grounds of the Parthenon.

"I am Fredrick Asran, Duke of Kiev, Die." Gram held perpendicular to the order of the dragon leader's chest glowed and when swung released a deadly pulse of energy.

The energy blast sent the invaders through the air. 'Wield thy sword like an angry god.' The words of long ago echoed in the duke of Kiev's mind.

The death eyed knight eye's flashed. "Let the cities crack and turn to dust, Atlas's burden, Everything falls apart." The magic flowed through the duke into the ground below, shaking the ground and waters of the harbor.

"You shall not proceed any further."
"You are in now such position to obstruct me."

The air distorted and thus the second wave did arrive, the Jinn, ready to heed the time traveler, the duke of Kiev, Grandmaster of the Orden of the Dragon.

"My liege we are prepared to lay waste." Stated the lead Marid.

The duke of Kiev raised Gram. "Lay waste indeed we shall." The Death eyed knight lunged his eyes flashing once more. "Ye blood of man, Phobos and Deimos, rageful lashes hellish strokes." Varying shades of dark red blasts erupted flying outwards.
Gram followed the Orden Battles Sorcery Incantation's magic cast by the creator of the magic, the founder of the Order of the Dragon.

"Goering this is Asran inform the Drachenorden troops to act according to condition Nibelung." Stated Asran into his headset.

Goering grunts his assent over the radio despite his broken jaw he responds with a hearty yes.

"Tonight the white knight marches, Artic lance, This has become the land of blood." White beams arch from the demon sword flying into the triremes. The Duke and his legions of Jinn took the Parthenon. Utilizing a form of Pankration, similar to what the Spartans had used during their time, the death eyed knight's free hand crushed the life of the invaders who evaded his deadly Gram.

The Duke of Kiev floated down from the cliff to the sea of the Aegean landing on the invader's flagship trireme.

The jinn to moved on the Marid summoning great waves of water or fierce gales, and the Ifrit calling their almost signature black and crimson flames.

Asran face covered in a loathful glare cast a charging defender over board. The death eyed knight's inhuman strength shattered bone.

More knights arrived on the ships, and slowly the invaders were pressed back, back in to the Aegean from where they had come.

Axis Empire, Germanic Kingdom, Berlin, Axis High command

Hitler was furious about the attack.

Sehkmet was more annoyed that the fighting had not lasted longer than it had.

Grindelwald and Asran were well the closest to being neutral on the emotional spectrum.

"This is unacceptable."
"Any idea where they are Asran?"
"Have I been anywhere else beside with you besides checking on my own wounded?" stated the Drachen orden leader. "I am a little occupied at the moment. Additionally we were no the only ones attacked, confirmation by intelligence has arrived Italy and Germany's ports managed to stave off the attack however North American ports faired far worse than us, and Southern England also received heavy damage, the worst of any of us."

Hitler's reaction was easy to predict, while he was glad Axis forces had repelled the attack he was down right jubilant over the damage inflicted to the allies.

Sehkmet was happy enough of attack against the Allies she was still rather blood thirsty.

"I suggest we extend diplomatic relations to this group of people, but at home we begin wide spread use of advanced weapons, Sehkmet how are you on the plasma reactors for power production."

Sehkmet glared. "Technological advancements should become wide spread to mass produce the technology in Dracaena with in a period of five years, I expect technology should reach a point in the mainstream point of the empire to arrive at that point in some time at the tail end of the next decade."

Distraction achieved.

Chapter conclusion

Helltanz's notes: I was half tempted to put Asran's title in German, I decided against it. Orden Battle Sorcery Incantation, or OBSI, is kind of like Kido from Bleach, or like the spells form slayer, kind of, it's a special subdivision of battle magic nearly entirely unique to the Drachenorden, you will see quiet a bit. Marid is the strongest of the Jinn, the second strongest would be an Ifrit. Also Asran strength and speed have been explained, if you have a question about it re read the previous chapters.

Shorter than what seems to be the Usual, but in the intro you get the next major sign of alternate timeline.

Now some people who are familiar with Battleships maybe wondering how the Elysium beats the future English Super battleship, hmm, I will explain, the Elysium is built or rather designed by the Order of the Dragon, whose technology is superior to that of current tech, while the Duke of Normandy does have some very large guns, the Orden Elysium is outfitted with Directed Energy Weapons, and the Orden's signature tech Dinar Railguns. Railguns work by accelerating the projectile by magnetic forces firing the projectile at hypersonic velocities, and I am sure everyone knows what Directed Energy Weapons are, the Elsium is also supplemented by three eighty five centimeter Durandal Naval guns.

Next time Revelation: the Sea borne Wolves of the Dragon und Launch of the ADORE.

The Future: (besides Stargate differences borders will also differ in each future, as will magical-muggle relations)

Benevolent Future: The Nazi succeed however Hitler dies and is replaced by a less Master race leader (Grindelwald dies as well unless people vote they want otherwise additionally Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality, Roosevelt will likely die oh somewhere in the seventies and a decade later for Grindelwald)

Five votes for

Moderate Future: Nazi's still in power, the Axis states are all allied together in a confederation (Grindelwald will likely be alive though also Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality, maybe mid sixties he will be out of office by then, Hitler will be dead make no mistake, this is true for all timelines, he will be dead by the time we get back to the present, also the Russian Federation, well they won't be exactly the same after the fall of communism in the nineties)

Six votes for

Harsh Future the third Reich is victorious the culture Nazi Empire if this occurs will likely hold some similarities to the Dominion of Draka, it is likely rating will increase to M, the non M rated Harsh future will if written will feature all Axis states united in one large multi continental empire, meaning a tightly unified (Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality, Hitler is succeeded after his death by a leader who wished to build the Third Reich into the greatest empire to ever exist, additionally the US will expand to encompass both American Continents)

One vote for
