The Alien fleet stayed in orbit for a few months to reorganize and prepare for the landing. In the meanwhile the Earth forces prepared themselves for the most important battle in human history. The FIM poured the last of it's monetary reserves into building more equipment. When the Aliens finally made planetfall the world was prepared to fight with all it had left.

[October the 9th 2063]

"AT ATTENTION 1ST REGIMENT!" The captain shouted. The thump of 1000 boots stomping into the ground, the metallic click of 1000 rifles being held, and the "AYE" shout from 1000 soldiers could be heard.

They all stood in a perfect square, Korra stood in the third row. Solid as rock, not even moving her eyes. Since the day they had joined the army, they had trained, and formation movement was one of the things they had trained. However the one thing they had trained the most was combat, and soon they would be using that training. For the first time ever.

Around them the entire base was buzzing with activity. Ships were preparing to head out, Galaxy transport VTOLs took off, their engines roaring as they lifted, a few hundred CUGV drones walked past them on their six metallic legs, their spider like body were painted in a jungle camo, above them Mosquito VTOL fighters were forming up squads, five Combante fighter jets left trails in the sky as they roared above them, Mourette attack drones flew towards 6 La Federation class frigates that were docked here, and all around them other regiments were marching.

"YOU WILL BE SENT TO THE PAPUAN HIGHLANDS. DOMINION FORCES HAVE MADE PLANETFALL THERE. IT WILL BE OUR JOB ALONGSIDE THE REST OF THE PACIFIC TO KICK THEM OUT. THIS IS THE LARGEST MILITARY OPERATION IN FIM HISTORY SO DO NOT SCREW UP. FOLLOW ORDERS, AND STICK TO THE PLAN!" The captain shouted. "SIR, YES SIR!" 1000 soldiers shouted in unison. "YOU ARE SOME OF THE FINEST OF THE FIM MILITARY. I TRUST THAT YOU ARE ALL READY TO GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR HUMANITY, AND EARTH!" "SIR, YES SIR!" "GOOD REMEMBER THE MOTTO OF THE TERRAN ORDER?!" The captain asked.

"STRENGTH IN UNITY!"

"HUMANITY BEFORE ALL!"

"LOYALTY UNTIL DEATH!"

"Good, NOW MOVE OUT 1ST WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!" "SIR, YES SIR!"

The captain gave a salute, and the entire regiment saluted him too. Then the entire regiment turned 90 degrees, and started marching. The sound of their boots hitting the ground blended into the other sounds of the base to create a sort of music. The theme of the coming battle. The battle which would decide the fate of humanity.

While she was marching with the others Korra remember a quote she had once heard. "When a good man goes to war, demons run." Now a nation which had been peaceful ever since it's inception was going to war. If demons did exist, it was doubtful that any could be found on Earth right now, as half a million good men and women marched to war.

THE TERRAN ORDER

STRENGTH IN UNITY!

LOYALTY UNTIL DEATH!
