Now, to my several original viewers you're probably wondering; why did I do this? Why delete the original? Why a take two?

Well it's just let's say I feel like there's several problems with the story there; the primary of which is pacing. I feel like it's too fast and Italica isn't handled or developed very well and what happened after that. This is a reboot or take two of some sort. Same characters, same nations. Maybe I can just retcon the entire thing but that will be confusing to you, my readers and a chore to do so in understanding the difference easily without being confused. (And to which I constantly retconned the published chapters in minor detail like order of battle and who's who there in the original), which while not too much may probably confuse others. I want my readers to just simply sit back and read without making it too much of a chore. I should've just added an announcement in the original story but i got too pre-emptive on deleting it.

In this, i'll try my best to not constantly squeeze in or retcon things. I'll finalize what i have before publishing.

I would've made a separate announcement of this in a separate entry but does not allow for a non-story entry, which my announcement for my reason in canning the story probably count, so I decided to go with this one.

For now, here's a take two of Trident Justice that also has new ideas. And don't worry, if I feel the need to scrap this in I'll put an update chapter next time. I still want to provide you people with a quality story that I can provide with the best of my abilities, learn from your criticisms and learn something new in the road of writing Trident Justice. (I did this too so everyone, including those without FFN accounts are not left in the dark after my pre-emptive move on deleting.)

Dunno for that but here ya go. And don't worry, I've learned my lesson. Also I've now got a beta reader to help me iron out my chapters. Any help from you reviewers are welcome as well.

EDIT: Removed the mention of 1st Battalion here.


Maybe this is only a story, perhaps a crazy story that should be just canned out in the garbage. A modern NATO with Australian and New Zealand force into a medieval world? Probably would've only happened in fantasy yet here I am right now, sitting in an MOB that resembled a fortress with guard towers, machine gun nests and barbed wire amongst other things surrounding the MOB on a medieval world. No high ass walls but if you can only outshoot your enemy and build a base that allocates for easy expansion, you probably don't need to worry.

Why am I here though? Me and my people? Let's just say somehow, there's a structure called the 'Gates' by people. One opened in Times Square and the other in the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in France. What came out on both Gates ya say?

Medieval warriors and shit resembling fantasy. Ogres, dragons, monsters, goblins and the like.

To claim that you served on another world and seeing all kinds of fantasy stuff, anyone would've called me crazy.

But that's what me and the other 100000 men and women are experiencing now- deployed on a fantasy world.

Both attacks were deterred with a 100,000 loss or so for the invaders apparently but the damage is done. Thousands dead, kidnapped and wounded and damage amounting to half a billion. It was the worst attack ever sustained and the appearance of the Gates flipped the logic of this world. All kinds of heads, religion, conspiracy theories, scientists are running wild on their appearance.

We're here in their world and making them pay. Only a matter of time before we thunder-run the capital and to be frank, I'm fucking sick of this place, i've missed too much. I just want to be out and go home. All of us are, Americans, British, Canadians, Danes, Dutch, French, Germans, Italians, Poles, Norwegians and the non-combatant guys like the Belgians and Romanians providing medical and technical support.

I still feel the guilt of being able to only sit out the attack in New York in Fort Stewart but the attack on the capital will cure me of my guilt.

Soon, the people behind the New York and Paris attacks will pay.
