April 2nd, 2239, The Terran Imperial Palace, Training grounds.Sarah was wearing her Combat Uniform which included her Favorite Purple Shirt, A Skirt made for combat and, Socks and Boots, she holds her Warblade "Angelic Fury" In Reverse, Her Pistol in her right hand loaded with training rounds, Surrounding her were her 3 Friends, Charlene who's in her Demon form with her Demonic Warblade "Fury of Demonica" In her hand Alongside a Shield with her Family's Crest on it, Saline was in front of Sarah the Glitch took on a more human form, With her hair Pink and her eyes a Auburn color, Emily was on her left, Her Angel form obvious as well as Wings and Halo, Her sword is a Warblade "Blade of Irene" was present alongside the Shield of Irene, Watching Sarah and her friends was her School friends and her Family, Hell Imperial Media was watching the 4 girls prepare for battle, A ref fired a shot into the air Causing Saline, Emily and Charline to charge at Sarah.
"You girls sure are taking me seriously." Sarah said aloud as she clashed with Saline, The Glitch Princess struggling against her blows. "Maybe so, But we're on your level." Saline retorted to her best friend and Sarah kicked Saline back, Causing the Glitch to do a backflip and fire her pistol at Sarah who just sliced the bullets in half.
Meanwhile, Charlene and Emily came up behind Sarah and were shocked when Sarah threw her pistol in the air and stabbed her sword down, Charging at Emily and using her Momentum, Jumped over her shield and knocked her down by sweeping her feet from under her. Charlene charged at Sarah but was stunned when she Jumped into the air and grabbed her Pistol and fired the Rounds at Charlene forcing her to turtle up and Sarah landed where her sword is, Grabbing it and charged into her friend's shield forcing her to fall onto her ass Where Sarah took her out of the match by a well-placed Training round designed to stop her movements before also doing the Same to Emily, Leaving Saline left. "Well, Sarah I guess it's between you and I huh?" Sarah shrugged and put her sword and pistol away. "I ain't gonna waste my time with you, Saline." Sarah declared and charged, The two charged so fast that Dust flew into the air, Covering the Battlefield but not for a while because when the smoke and dust cleared, Both had their swords at each other's throats. "It's a Tie!" The announcer shouted as Everyone cheered causing the Training rounds on Emily and Charlene to stop and the Two girls switched to their Human forms as the four friends gathered around each other, Sarah laughed and pulled out her Pistol and fired a Normal bullet into the air which exploded into fireworks awing the People since it shows the Names of Sarah and her friends…
Ten minutes after the Match, Blade Sergeant Gustuv Revannis's Post.Sergeant Gustuv Revannis looked at his Knight Brothers and sisters guarding a Portal, They were led there by the Lady Herself and He had orders to guard the Portal with The Sentinels of Irene. "Sarge, Here comes Lady Sarah." Sure enough they see the Blonde 16 years old walking with her 3 friends, Saline was floating and since she's a glitch, She can float, Emily was walking next to Sarah her hands on her neck and laughing at Saline mentioning Seeing Charlene's Panties during the match, Charlene for her part was arguing with Saline, Leaving Sarah to shake her head in amusement as she arrives with her Grandmother. "Sergeant, Give me a Status report." Revannis saluted and spoke. "The Portal is still stable Lady Irene, We've fought some monsters that tried to kill the Science Team but we've beaten them back."
Irene nodded and looked at Sarah, "This portal will take you and your friends on a Mission, I already explained Your task to your Parents, However time is of the Essence, We'll give you Special armor and weapons that won't run out or expire, However given recent reports You'll be in a world of Bloody Evolution, Your job is to assess the situation and report back by any means possible, We'll also have troops being deployed and a Colony will be constructed soon, Good luck."
Sarah nodded as she was handed her Officer Cadet Uniform, As she gets into it, She noticed her friends were armed with M-94/95A series Pulse Rifles and With their loadouts extending from Pistols and swords to Pulse Rifles and Pulse Shotguns, It was clear this mission is gonna be a long one judging by how many Rations they were given. "You'll be fine Sarah, a Squad of Blades of Irene will be present on the other side of the Portal to guard it from the Monsters and to aid you, as the Blades will be the Only Terran Presence you'll be leading as Blade Commander." Sarah nodded and made sure her backpack was on her. "Oh and your friends will have to remain human until we decide to make our presence known." Sarah nods as her Friends switch to their human forms as the 4 Females walk through the Portal Sarah stopped and realized she has everything she needs turned around and took out her Sword and put it close to her face before doing a Salute and marched into the Portal….
Near The Village of Kassadarl, The Blades of Irene Outpost Silverbane.Sarah exited the Portal with her friends, Seeing a Very well- camouflaged Terran Outpost. "Sarah." Charlene walked over and smiled. "Are you ready to scout out where the Hell we ended up?" Sarah nods, turning Serious. "Yeah, Charlene, Emily, Saline let's go." The 2 other females walked towards Sarah as they get into a Jeep, The M-33 Lockhart Machine gun was on the back and another M-33 Machine gun was in the passenger seat leaving Sarah as the driver with Emily on the M-33 Machinegun located in the Back, Charlene on the Passenger seat gun and Saline being the Glitchiest girl was sitting on a Seat custom-made for this purpose as they Drove they could hear gunfire. "Well, Shit get ready to lock and load." Sarah said over the Team comms as they Drove, Wolves appeared on the way there and the team began unloading bullets into them. "Sarah watch out on the left!" Saline yelled just as a bigger wolf barrelled into the Path of the Team. "Shit hang on!" Sarah shouted as Emily rotated the M-33 and fired, Charlene was keeping the Front clear, Nearly clipping a wolf. "Holy shit I think I got roadkill." Sarah said as the Team nears the Village…
Kassadral Village, Guard Captain Fredrich Mellastien.
Fredrich and his Guards were firing at the Grimm, their numbers seemed endless until they heard Tires squealing and gunshots coming from behind the Grimm as well as a Loud and very obvious Femmine "Wooohoooo!" As a Vehicle painted In Jet black with red accents on it came into view, 4 Females were obvious, One of them jumped from the vehicle and stabbed a sword into the base of a Beowolf's skull before jumping in front of the gate, The Other 3 females parked right next to her, One of them clearly unarmored and carrying four weapons on her looked at her allies. "Charlene, Emily take the left flank, Saline, You and I will get up close and personal, Shotguns and blades only, Don't use your Rifles or pistols or Grenades unless we have to." The team acknowledged with a "Yes Sarah." As the Individual known as Sarah got out, She reached behind her back and withdrew a Shotgun, Racking it She smirked towards Saline who's using a Sword. "Let's go, Sis." The two Girls charged forward with Sarah shooting at Grimm with her Shotgun, It also had a Bayonet on it.
Begin Again song starts
Sarah slides underneath a Beowulf and blew it's head off, and then stabbing another when she flew into the air and brought the bayonet down, Stabbing deep into the Skull before she puts a boot to it's head and withdraws it, Black blood oozing out and getting on the Bayonet's metallic surface.
"That's two how many you girls are on?" Sarah asks over the comms as Sarah downs another one before switching to her Sword and stabbing it into a Grimm who got too close. "I got ten Sarah." Saline said as her Grey Glitch sword cut through the strange bone armor Where Sarah actually had to use her strength to push her Bayonets or her Sword into the skull. "I got 16 maybe more when we were gunning them down." Charlene said as Emily reported the same. "Nevermind add 19 on my Kills." Emily said as Sarah realized there were far more than they thought. "Well, Shit." She said before grabbing out a grenade and looking at her team, Already exhausted from the close quarters combat. "Girls, It's time to unleash our power." The girls nodded and grabbed their Pulse Rifles and the 4 Girls started shooting, 8.72MM rounds shredding Bone armor or other limbs that weren't protected by Bone armor. "Charlene, Get the Jeep and back it up, We'll use the guns to our advantage!" Sarah shouted over the Comms as Charlene ran, A Beowolf tried to get the Drop on her only for Frerich to use his sniper Rifle to stop them. "Can you guys open the gate?" Fredrich asked his men seeing what they'll need to be within the Town. "Yes, Sir."
As the Gate opened the 3 Females managed to get the Jeep in but Sarah remained outside, Firing defiant of the odds already stacked against her. "Me versus a whole pack? Tch, Wait till Midnight hear about this, She'll be Jealous." Sarah said as she charged forward Using her Psionics to her advantage crushing wind Pipes of Beowolves or hurling them into the sky to plummet to their deaths. 'This is way too easy…. Almost.' Sarah thought as she threw a Beowulf into a Tree, shattering the tree but killing the Beowulf in the process. "Sarah come on!" Saline shouted, firing her Sniper Rifle at a Beowulf that snuck too close to the Teenager. "Right." She said as she does a Backflip off of a Beowolf and landed on top of the gate…
Meanwhile back at Outpost Silverbane/New Charleston.Governor Tristian Valoris watched as Inhabitants from Across the Empire exited the Portal, They were in awe of the landscape and the serenity were broken by Gunfire most likely coming from Sarah and her Team's weaponry encountering the Wildlife.
'Young Gloryhound, She'll end up getting them killed.' He thought even as Troops from the 122nd Imperial Army Corps mounted up into Dragon Armored Personnel Carriers and some even were accompanied by the 389th Imperial Grenadiers Division who rode in Specialized APCs called "Hell-Talon Armored Personnel Carriers" They were equipped with Flamethrowers and mortars, Their Mission? Seek and Destroy a Insurgent group calling themselves "The Sons of Raven" A terrorist Cell that fled Imperial Justice and the Men and Women of the 389th have a score to settle with their Leader, Eliphas Of Reddan who is Number 2 on the Empire's Most wanted list. As the Tanks of the 293rd Tank Regiment churned to life the Troops moved out, Mean time the Sentinels of Purity were already on the move heading towards Sarah's location…
The Sons of Raven's Trench Lines, Outside of an Abandoned Village.The Sons of Raven Terrorists were sitting in their Trenches, Playing music and talking most of them were farmers and shopkeepers trying to make a living but when the Empire sent troops to quell a Rebellion on their homeworld of Reddan due to the Predations of The Dark God Raven, The Reddan Militias and Planetary Defense Forces Turned on The Imperial Soldiers who set foot on their world, It was a vicious 5 month long battle the culminated in The Rebels being forced to retreat, This caused Eliphas and his 16 Years old Daughter Janice to turn against the Imperial Ideals and became the Dark Apostles of Raven, Forming the Sons of Raven Terrorist Organization, Outside was their Mistress, Janice she was currently sharpening her Blade but she unwillingly joined her Father's Rebellion, She believes heavily in the cult of Irene, She and a few others have been privately discussing about surrendering to the Empire, However her father had abused her both Mentally and physically and this caused her to turn from her Father's side.
"Milady, Your information has paid off. The 389th is moving in." A follower whispered as she nodded. "Gather those who are pure and have them be disarmed, Then we'll surrender." Her follower nodded and left to carry out her orders as she stood up and went to the Safe zone she knows the 389th will find….
Captain James Rylanor's 289th Company, 389th Grenadiers Corps Trench line.James looked over the Trenches as the Roar of Tanks were being muffled by them playing music, It was loud and worked, The Artillery is in place and the Grenadiers wore their Gas masks and Black and Red Greatcoats, The Soldiers were fiercely Loyal to the Empire and the Cult of Irene. "We're ready to begin our attack." He nodded and grabbed his Pulse Pistol and ignited his Sword. "Men! Fix bayonets, Prepare for blood!" The Hair raising click of Bayonets being attached to their Contrail Assault Rifles and S-93 Pulse Shotguns. The Infantry soon charged out of the trenches, Charging out of their trenches while the Artillery hurled their wrath towards the Enemy's lines…
Janice's point of view, Within the Sons of Raven Command bunker.Janice watched as her father's troops fired flares up into the Skies then the Sheer Terror of her father's men as they watched The Greatcoated Grenadiers charged, Their numbers being cut down by Automatic and rifle fire from their guns even Machine guns, Mean while then 389th Grenadiers 277th Independent Artillery Battery loaded their artillery guns with Shells and fired, The accurate Gunnery of the 389th hitting the Trenches, Knocking out Machine guns and Mortar emplacements. Soon The Grenadiers jumped down, Using either Bayonets or Sharpened Entrenching tools and Rifle Butts and knives were used. "Good…. They're breaking through as expected." She said to her Close Friend Eliza Loveheart who was loyal to Janice and Janice Only. "Indeed, Shall we go wait with our followers?" Janice nodded and walked into it where over 12 hundred Civilians were hiding, They used to support Eliphas' Coup but upon discovering Janice remained pure and discovered the extent of her Father's corruption warned her people, Those that believed her, Became known as the "Lost Children of Irene." And the two factions have since hated one another below the surface however, The Lost Children still worshipped The Lady, Praying for her forgiveness.
Suddenly the doors were blown open and 389th Grenadiers entered, With their Rifles up as well as shotguns. "There she is!" A Soldier shouted only for Eliza and Janice to take off into the room their followers were hiding, As the Soldiers entered they aimed their rifles just as their CO walked in.
"Jance Elizabeth Walker, You're guilty of Crimes of Attempted murder and high treason, What is your response." Janice looked at her people and held out her wrists. "I surrender, After all I never turned from the Teachings of the Cult of Irene, My father did." She said as this caused Captain Rylanor to stop and think. "Men, Escort them to New Charleston, The Crown Princess whenever she's done battling the Local wildlife to judge her and the rest of her people." The Soldiers nodded and slapped Handcuffs onto their Prisoners as they were led away. Janice spied her father's form overlooking them and this caused her to feel disgusted by her father's treachery. Even then she had to contend with being Imprisoned.
"Sir! Her highness requests support, The Wildlife are proving more troublesome for Sarah, Saline, Charlene and Emily to deal with alone." Rylanor nodded and looked at his soldiers. "Men, Have the 122nd Escort the prisoners! Men of the 389th! Load up!" Janice stepped forward with her Troopers. "No, This fight is a chance to regain our honor, Let us fight with you guys." The Young captain thought for a brief instance before he nodded and they were armed and armored in the 389th's Weapons and armor. "Let's go." He said as the Troops reboarded their transports and tanks, Aircraft from the 839th Starfighter squadron were on-station to provide support….
Meanwhile back within Kassadarl Village.Sarah was fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Town Guard, the Battle was taking a heavy toll on the People of this village, They were forced back into the Town hall where they were currently being besieged, Charlene and Emily were tending to the wounded and they were already running out of Ammo, Fredrich whom she spoke to when the Grimm just kept on coming told her what they were. "I am out!" Saline shouted as she used her sword to stab a Beowolf through the neck, "I am down to my Last mag!" Sarah shouted to her friends and allies then she reached for her ear to call in reinforcements. "This is Crown Princess Sarah Beatrice Smith, I am issuing a General Mayday order, I say again, Mayday, Mayday We're out of ammo and we need reinforcements!" Sarah shouted as the Guards were wondering why she was screaming out until…. "Roger that Your Highness, The 389th are in the Vicinity, Out." Sarah smiled as she heard the familiar Roars of Valorian Light Tanks, Constain Medium Tanks and the Arcanus Heavy Tanks as well as Dragon Armored Personnel Carriers. "About time!" Charlene commented as The four girls rushed outside to see The Great-coated and Gasmask wearing soldiers charge the Enemy, They showed no fear, no signs of regret. "FOR THE EMPIRE!" The soldiers roared as Their tanks and men smashed the Grimm, Causing the Troopers when they jumped off or the APCs disgorged their cargo directly near the enemy. "Your highness." Captain Rylanor was fighting a Beowolf in Close Quarters Combat. "Captain." Sarah said as An Ammo Container was deposited at Sarah's feet by a Grenadier Quartermaster allowing Sarah and her friends to rejoin the fight, The Battle was bitterly fought and the Grimm killed her soldiers but reinforcements from the 95th Titan Legion arrived, Their War-horns blaring as the world's crust beneath their feets cracked and breaks the Sounds of their War-Horns reaching The Kingdom of Vale….
The Xiao Long Household ,Patch, 30 Miles from Kassadarl Village.Yang and Ruby were playing Video games, Taiyang was talking to Qrow when they heard horns blaring. "What the hell?" Tai said as they ran out they could hear gunfire like distant thunder, Suddenly an Aircraft flew overhead being chased by a Nevermore, The craft was sleek the hull black with red running lights, The aircraft turned around and fired Missiles, hitting the Nevermore as Another aircraft engaged with it's guns The nevermore soon died from the guns and the Missiles. "Holy Oum… They worked well." Ruby said as the Fighters went back to their home base worrying the Remnant natives
Meanwhile At Kassadarl Village 8:30 PM, April 2nd, 2239.
Sarah and her Friends were leaning against walls and waiting for their Mains to heat up, Eating Dinner, Sarah Chose the First Strike Ration to eat, She was saving the Breakfast and Lunch Components for Tomorrow. "Ma'am." Captain Rylanor walked over the Grenadier Captain kneeling before his Princess. "Yes, Captain?" Sarah asks as she is exhausted.
The Purity of Thought, Imperator Class Dreadnought.
An older girl smiled and laughed. "Nice one sis." She whispered as The woman looked at the Viewport, Her Crusading Force was waylaid by An Unknown Xenos Empire on her way to the Dark Reaches, Her forces were close to their objective now, Finally after being for one year of her Baby sister's life she seriously doubted that Sarah had changed all that much. "Lady Willow." A Soldier said, He sported an Insignia that is of a Snake coiled around a Star, The words "Willow's Tunnel Snakes" was emblazoned on the Patch. "We're almost within The Next system, We'll eventually get there to reinforce Sarah." Willow looked behind her and nodded. "Understood, prepare the 195th Marine Division and my Personal Titan Legion." Willow said as she Downed a bit of whiskey, She found a couple of pictures with her at age 8 holding Onto a Infant Sarah, It was Willow's most happiest moment of her life. "Now where did I put that Pilot Suit for My Baby sis…" Willow asked aloud as she headed towards her workshop….
Terra, The Imperial Palace, Jessica's Room.
Jessica was the youngest of 3 older siblings, Aaron,Willow and Sarah she has a close bond with her older siblings and now she a big sister herself when her little brother Richmond Orion Smith was born, She was sitting in her room Playing with her toys, She wasn't terribly interested in the day-to-day running of the Empire but she was interested in her Sister. Jessica envied Sarah because not only is she the Best big sister she could ask for but she's the only one she's ever known and She became a Big sister herself to Richmond. 'Mommy an Daddy luvs us.' Jessica thought as she saw a Vision showing her a City in flames, Sarah fighting and commanding The Empire's soldiers, Civilians screaming this caused her to get concerned. 'Sissy, What are you up to?' She thought as She stood up, Her Grey Dress flowing behind her, She found her Sister's Friends Dragos and Ice talking with Valerian Nearby with Vanessa, She walked over and waved at them. "Haiiii!" The 4 years old said, causing the 5 friends of her sister to look at her. "Jessica." Valerian said, smiling at his Girlfriend's Younger sister, Valerian was wearing his School uniform like Vanessa, Ice and Dragos which was Cream with gold on the sleeves, The boys uniform consisted of Pants, A Blazer and tie. The Girls consisted of a Pleated Skirt with Blazer, Tie and with an Optional Beret to wear which Vanessa and Sarah wears when they are out of the school.
"I worried about sissy, I had…. What she calls a Vision about her fighting in a City…." This caught the Attention of a Blade Scribe who was walking down the halls with a Novice Scribe. "Lady Jessica, You said you had a vision?" The Scribe asked her as he knelt down causing the Little girl to nod. "Yes, Sir." Jessica was being led by the Scribe to the War room where Sarah was on the Hologram, It was night-time on Remnant and Terra, Irene was listening alongside her Daughter and Son-in-law to Sarah's Report.
"Sarah, are you sure Remnant is in the most severe of Danger to warrant you disobeying orders?" Irene asked as she nodded and The blue Hologram of the 16 years old was still a regal figure. "Yes, Grandmother, These Grimm are attracted to Negative emotions such as hatred, Fear, Anger." Sarah said as she was also eating a bit as well Irene looked towards Elizabeth, Her daughter was in deep thought something that didn't go amiss to the Goddess. "Lizzie, something to add?" Elizabeth looked at her mother and nodded. "If they are attracted by Negative Emotions it may go to show that Our Empire while War-like exhibits them to the Extreme, Look at me, You and Johnathan for example." This caused Irene to nod, Ground combat on planets means that it will be bloodier than in most cases a Good Example would be during The Reddan Revolt, The Rebels made the Imperials bleed for every inch of ground they recaptured, Every Block was contested bitterly by the Rebels.
"I agree with you, Our hatred for the Rebels still extends to the No.1 and No. 2 wanted." Sarah looked off to the side and nodded. "Actually, I want to pardon Janice, She actually came to my aid with the 389th Grenadiers, She and her people are Loyalists, The few that didn't fight the 389th." This news surprised The Imperial Royals very much so. "I see…. Consider her and her people pardoned." Sarah nodded and knelt down. "If That's all I need to get some rest, I have a meeting in the morning." With that The hologram of her sister faded and Jess ran up to her Mother, who smiled and picked her up.
"My Lord, Ladies." The Scribe spoke as he bowed in respect and reverence for the Imperial Monarchs. "What can I do for you, Scribe Markus." Markus looked at His lady Irene and spoke. "Princess Jessica had a Vision of her sister in a city, in active combat from what she told me, Should we activate the 145th Earlier than Planned?" Irene nodded and stood, Looking at Vanessa, Ice, Dragos and her other friends. "We'll have to activate 3 new units." Irene spoke as She looked towards Valerian. "Valerian, You'll be the Commander of the 395th Airborne Corps, Lewellin, You'll be a Captain in the 23rd Ranger Company attached to the 145th, Ice, Dragos, Draco,Vanessa, You guys will form the Nucleus of the 145th." Irene said as everyone in the room nodded and knelt before Lady Irene. "Imperataretus Et Rise." Vanessa said shocking everyone. "The Empire is rising?" Draco asks as he leaned against the wall, Vanessa nods and sighs. "But that brings me to ask about our future." Vanny said even as They were heading to meet up with The Quartermaster….
The Next day, April 3rd, 2239, Sarah's quarters.Sarah groans as she wakes up, She stands up, She stretches out, Before getting Dressed, She wore a Purple Dress with Black stockings and Black Mary Jane Heels, Her hair is done up in her signature Ponytail, She was meeting with some Remnant Natives that Sam and Angelica reported are nice folks. "Sarah, you ready girl?" Saline asked, Wearing a Green Dress, her pink hair was shoulder-length, Charlene was wearing a Red Dress and her brown hair also in a Ponytail adopted by her, Emily being Emily had her hair in a Bun even as her Jet black hair compliments a White Dress she wore. "Yeah, I am ready." Sarah said as she stands up, She didn't need to add any make up or lip-stick, She's a soldier goddamn it and a Politician.
"Sarah." Emily nodded towards her Best friend and smiled seeing her. "Us four representing our homes, Odd feeling isn't it?" Charlene asked as they sat down around a table, Their name cards and who they're representing being obvious. "Sarah!" She heard a Familiar voice call out and looked out the door to see Vanessa and Valerian as well as New Reinforcements arriving. "Vanny, Val! In here!" Sarah shouted, happy her school friends were here, As the 3 friends hugged one another, Sarah shared a deep, passionate kiss with her boyfriend, Much to the happiness of the 4 shippers Namely, Emily, Charlene, Saline and ships SarVal. "SHIIIIP!" Saline shouted causing Sarah to break away from Valerian, Blushing hard. "Saline." Sarah said as she glared at the Glitch and flipped her off.
"Commander." A Marine Trooper walked forward with his squad, Escorting the Town Guard Captain. "This is the Town Guard's Leader, He requested today's meeting." Sarah nods as Vanny went to sort out the Logistics, Valerian went to go consult with his Chief of Staff. "So… You Four ladies are Commanders eh?" Fredrich asked as Sarah nodded. "Yeah, I am Sarah the two flanking me are Saline and Emily, Charlene is the girl next to Emily." This caused Fredrich to note the Different between them. "You four seem to function almost as Siblings rather than friends." Sarah nods at the Description. "We do look after each other." Saline added onto his Description.
Then Sarah watched as Terran Soldiers helped expand the Village, Imperial Forces weren't nothing but thorough, Robotic Infantry were patrolling alongside their Organic Counterparts while Engineers built Concrete bunkers and Artillery Emplacements were being constructed. "Your Highness." An Imperial Officer strode over, Fredrich watched as the Officer knelt before his Princess. "Theta Ender Battlefront just flared back up, Your father ordered a Crusade into the Eastern Reaches,Your Older Brother Aaron is fighting there." Sarah nearly choked on her Water from her Canteen as she stood up. "Didn't we lose that Planet five years ago? And I wish Aaron luck." Sarah asked as the Officer nods not knowing the Battle for it just turned into a Massive War Between the Empire and the Undead….
101st Airborne Corps, 396th Army Group, Theta Ender, Eastern Reaches, Near the Former City of Hopeville.Captain Philip Clyde was in The Corps Trenchline, Over 3.9 Million Troops and Thousands of Warships of all sizes were mustered for the Crusade, There roughly 5.9 Million Undead present, The Formerly Lush, Beautiful planet was a Scientific Colony before being lost to a Undead Uprising five Years ago, Reinforcements were arriving daily bringing Imperial Numbers up to match the Undead tides.
The soldiers were reminded constantly that the Undead weren't their standard Media Zombie, Dumb and slow, Oh no they were facing against An Organized Force, The Sounds of Artillery fire were evident, Most of the Undead Artillery were sometimes actual artillery shells, Others are using old Catapults that can propel their buddies behind Terran Lines.
"Cap." A Young Private said as he walked in, He was youthful in his 20s, While Phillip Himself was in his 30s. "Private, What's the word?" Philip said as he wore his Grey Armored that was cracked and has blood on it. "Corps just got word that the Dead are heading our way, 250,000 Zombies are charging us." He said just as Clyde let out a Frustrated Sigh, His troops have been fighting for Three hours and they were running out of Food, Ammo and Water, The Supply-lines were still being established leading to the troops to husband their supplies. "Here they come!" Someone yelled just as a Horde of Frenzied dead charged at the Troops, Machine Gun fire and Tracer rounds turned the Night into day. "Watch the left flank! Enemy Armor!" Someone shouted as A Terran Arcanus Heavy Tank named "Sword of Justice" Turned it's turret to face the Enemy Armor, and fired the Armor's sickly green Flesh and detonated within.
"Nice shot!" The Tank Commander called out. Suddenly the Enemy Infantry began moving forward. "Shit, It's the Undead Beginning and War Castes!" Philip shouted over the Radio. "We need to hold them back, Cap!" A Soldier said just as Men wearing Darker Green Armor entered the Trenches, Firing at the Undead. "It's The Gene-warrior 1st Army!" They noticed the Unit's Commander standing with his Warhammer in hand smiting down enemies of mankind.
"My Lord, Aaron." Aaron looked at Captain Phillp who was kneeling before his Lord. "Captain, Father sent me to Command the Eastern Reaches Crusade, Willow is enroute to Bolster Sarah's Forces." Clyde was surprised by this. "Lady Willow is alive?" This actually bolstered Imperial Morale as the Twins were kind just like the Entire royal family. "Captain, My Lord Delta Squad from The 201st Imperial Commando Detachment has found out where the dead are coming from." An Airborne Trooper reported as Aaron nods before shouting "COME ON MEN! HOLD THEM BACK! STRIKE LIKE THE HAMMER OF THE EMPEROR HIMSELF!" The Imperials' supply situation was slowly improving and Fresh Troops were poured into a Counter-offensive, Stabilizing Imperial Lines…
Delta Squad's Position, Behind The Theta Ender Undead Lines.
Sergeant Miles Zimmerman Was leading a Five Man Squad of his Commandos towards The Undead Encampment where the Necromancers and Commanders are meeting. "Sarge, Enemy Sentry's detected." The team's Psi-caster Casey Gianna Rosenberg reported, Her Hood covering her Red hair and a Gas-Mask was on her face obscuring her Eyes and face from the Rest of the Squad. "Understood Casey." Miles said as the Team goes by First Name Basis, They are all Brothers and sisters in Arms. "Gaz, Rick take up Sniping Positions, Casey, William on me." The mentioned Individuals nodded and went to work.
They killed the guards quietly, Slitting their throats or stabbing them in the head. "We're almost there." Miles said over the Team's comms as green lights lit up in affirmative. The Team was able to slip into the War-room, Noting the Necromancers Guards were doubled. "Sarge, Lord Aaron is launching Operation Hammer just as planned." Miles nodded and then The team switched to Shotguns and Blades just as the Necromancers entered. "NOW!" Miles shouted over the Comms and the team threw grenades in, Charging in the wake of the Blast spraying with Sub-Machine Guns and even more Grenades, Miles Was dueling with the Necromancer. "Do you Terrans think you can win?" Miles kicked the Foul Sorcerer in the Ribs and allowed both to stop even as Miles' Team were cutting down the dead, It wasn't without difficulty. "Friendlies coming in!" Yellow Team's Squad Leader Zachary Hale Shouted as The Two teams were now sounding the Death Knell of the Sorcerer's forces.
"My Lord, Enemy Troops have broken our Armies." One of the Necromancer's Aides said, causing him to Growl. "Retreat to The Research Center." The Sorcerer glared at Miles just as Aaron and his Soldiers entered. "So…. The Lion himself is here…. My Leiges' Daughter has a hit-list on you." The Sorcerer said with Venom enough to surprise the Undead whose Blood was a Sickly Green-red. "Perhaps, Tell Claudia I will happily end her wretched life, But until then, I will settle with eliminating your Armies Ceasre." Aaron said to the disgraced as Aaron shot a bullet past the Traitor who then dived out the window, Making Aaron growl, "CEASARE!" He shouted in Anger as he settled down, He looked at Delta Squad. "Delta, You're being sent to Remnant, Sarah'll need you more than I do." Miles nodded and took his Team back aboard their Dropship…. The Battleship ISS The Wrath of the Fallen, Captain Henry Whitmore's Patrol fleet.
Meanwhile at Salem's Castle, The 3rd of April, 2239.Salem was watching through the eyes of One of the Beowolves who retreated from the battle and was noticing how, Dangerous these individuals already killed a 100 out of 300 beowolves sent in to kill the Villagers, It started out just as any ordinary attack would for her creations only to be assaulted by 4 females, The 3 other girls wore a jet black armor but the other girl presumed to be the Leader of the group wore an uniform with a rank insignia on her shoulders, A skirt, Combat boots and a Cap. "Commander Sarah." Salem heard a Soldier said to the girl as she put on armor. "Yes, Sergeant?" Sarah asks as the girl brushes her blonde hair. "Your brother dispatched a Delta squad to reinforce us." Sarah was shocked and asked a question. "Will that weaken his position on Theta Ender?" This confused Salem greatly. "No, Your Highness your Brother has been continually reinforced with more Troops." Sarah nods thinking before sighing. "I want all troops on high alert, Especially the Garrison at Silverbane." The soldier nodded leaving the girl alone to her thoughts even as Salem decided to continually harass the new threat.
Within Ozpin's Office, Beacon Academy, Vale City.Ozpin was looking at a Report from Taiyang and Qrow about a Force of unknowns who fought the Grimm and destroyed the attackers utterly. "Ozpin, What should we do?" He heard General Ironwood ask, He was meeting with the other headmasters and so far, Qrow found out from turning into his bird form that their Leader is called "Sarah Beatrice Smith." He infiltrated The Kassadarl Village and discovered Great-coated Soldiers with Gas Masks burying their dead, Alongside several Towering constructs bristling with Guns. There were also strange bunkers and even stranger weapons, But three other units entered remnant somehow and The newcomers had a Name, Designation for them. "Yes, But I am more intrigued about these Troops and their units, The '145th Marine Division', '395th Airborne Corps' and finally the '23rd Ranger Company.' As I am sure that there's actually two others, Qrow mentioned the Towering Constructs we're seeing are called 'Titans' of the Groundpounders class, The Great-coated Men and women are 'Grenadiers' From the '389th Grenadiers Corps' and the '95th Titan Legion' These 5 'units' as the Terrans Call them and according to a quote overheard by Qrow being said toward The people of the Village makes up an 'front' By their designation as the 'Remnant Expedition.' And this is troubling, As Atlas is the ONLY nation as we all know who has a Military Force."
Everyone in the room nooded. "Well, We'll have to keep an eye on them, They fought the Grimm according to what they're saying, But…. I did hear Villagers deciding to join their Military." Ironwood added showing that they aren't a threat to them. "Then there's the question how they'll deal with that Nearby White Fang outpost." Glynda added as Qrow arrived entering practically out of breath. "I've more intelligence on them." Everyone looked at Qrow as he looked at them. "They're at war, They're fighting two wars, One against their old Rivals according to a Terran Officer training new recruits and the Undead, These 2 are Empires, and the Terran Imperial Empire, Oum be damned are a Space-faring Civilization, I gotten a Glimpse of their Commanding Officer, She has Shoulder-length blonde hair, Blue eyes and is wearing an Officer-cadet uniform, She's surrounded by Soldiers wearing Purple-Gold armor." This new information was a bombshell. "An Inter-stellar Empire…" Ozpin for all of his years of service to Remnant and her people uttered out of awe. "Yes, and it doesn't get better than what else I have discovered about These guys, They're also Militarists, Scientists and much more, They controlled 900 worlds, They're also an Absolute Monarchy with an Emperor and Empress, Their Eldest Children I heard are both leading Crusades, The girl I saw, She's the Middle Child." They were surprised by this information. "I also stole a look at the Girl's photos,Sure enough she has pictures of her family." Qrow showed the pictures he took of the Photos, Each of them were shot in different locations but then Ozpin noticed something. "Qrow, go back." Qrow does so, Confused, There was a picture of two of the girls older siblings side by side, in Active Combat, the Caption read. "Willow and Aaron in combat during Operation Hammer, July 27th, 2236" The Older boy was swinging a warhammer against an unidentified foe, The Female was wielding a Sword and Firearm in hand. "Wait, Their eyes…." Glynda noted as everyone noticed it was red, The Girl's Fiery red hair complimented her war-like nature, While the boy had Blonde Hair and Red eyes. "Looks like the Family is Military commanders." Ironwood noted as he shrugged. "Makes Sense, For their society." Ozpin said as he looked out the windows. "They're a very powerful faction, perhaps rivaling Salem in terms of what THEY can do." Everyone is wondering what he's getting at unaware the Empire just sent in Tanks led by a General Marcus "Mark" Cross…
Imperial Command Post, Kassadarl Village, 8:50 AM, April 3rd, 2239Sarah was in the Command Post reading over her strength, She has over One and a Half Million Troops under arms, 2,400 Tanks and Self-Propelled guns, 1,000 Artillery Pieces and Mortars and 1,400 Assorted Vehicles, 50,000 Tons of Food and Forage, 600,000 Tons of Ammo and weapons, Even Armor, Sarah was also aware of 600,000 tons barrels of precious Teldar Crystals being used in some of the Tanks as fuel but in liquid form, She also has support from the Terran Imperial Naval 459th Starfighter Squadron consisting of 40 Leandros Class Bombers and 40 Exodus Class Fighters. "Lady Commander." Sarah looked up, It was her rank although Willow and Aaron have seniority when it comes to Military Matters, Sarah was given the rank to test her decision-making, As Aaron and Willow agreed to let Sarah be the De-facto Empress of the Empire when she comes of age and their parents chooses to step-down, Aaron and Willow has been there for her ever since she was a child. "General Cross is here to report to you." Sarah nods and the Lord General walks in, Taking off his Officer's cap, Kneels before his Crown Princess speaking. "Your Royal Highness." Sarah bit her lips She wasn't too sure about being made the Overall Imperial Commander on Remnant and the Heir to the Imperial Throne, She wanted nothing to do with power and ambition, But Aaron and Willow assured her she'll be a good monarch, She never really craved power or glory unlike her Older Siblings who amassed an impressive tally of Victories and Honor rolls to their names. Many Imperial worlds learnt of Willow and Aarons' Selfless Sacrifice during The First Battle of Theta ender when they launched Operation Hammer and saved 500,000 Civilians trapped by the undead, Their Combined Arms attack not only punched a hole but also opened a gap that allowed other Trapped Terran units such as the 389th Grenadiers Division and also saved valuable research that hasn't been backed up yet. "General." Sarah asked unconsciously and he was confused. "Yes Ma'am?" Sarah sighed and asked him a question. "I know you and the 45th Iron Tank Division were there at Theta Ender During the First Battle… Tell me, What do you think about Willow and Aaron's efforts that day?" Marcus thought about it before he said. "I've never seen anything like your siblings. They literally came down like avenging angels, Their troops and vehicles tearing bloody holes in the Undead's ranks, Aaron literally threw one over his body and then did a Power slam with his warhammer, And Willow, Oh my Irene she's terrifying, Her sword glows blood red as it ran red with the blood and bone of the undead." Marcus stopped to see Sarah fascinated, writing it down as if she's in a standard history lecture at her High school. "Tell me more Later General, Right now I want the 45th to be ready for combat." Marcus nodded and knelt before his Lady Commander, heading to Prepare the troops….
Annnnd that's it, This was my finest work yet but…. I still need to work out a lot of balancing and a lot more, When we get to The start of Season 1, There'll be first contacts as The Empire discovers more Civilizations and even deadlier enemies, This will be much easier to work with since in Stellaris, Anything can happen…. Actually no, This is my own universe. I am still trying my best to make it different from Stellaris although I may have to use stellaris. In other words Read and Review and good luck.
