I do not own Advance Wars or any of the characters, settings, plots ect… that are associated with the game. I do, however, own the nations of Silver Sun and Golden Moon, as well as the characters Lilly, Erickson, Dove, Luke, and Cordelia, as they are all original characters and nations of my own design." Okay, this list will get longer overtime, as I add new original characters. I didn't add any notes to readers, didn't have the time, but I probably will in the next chapter.

Also, this is my first attempt at an advance wars fanfic, in fact, this is the first fanfic I've actually published, but regardless, be brutal in your reviews, if you liked it, say so, if you didn't…say so anyway, I always appreciate constructive criticism. This may not make sense at first, because the first chapter takes place in a world of my own creation, along with original characters of mine, but it will make more sense as I keep updating.

Advance Wars: Alternate Reality

Chapter One: Silver Sun: Enter the Elves!

"The enemy is advancing rapidly Lord Erickson, what are your orders commander?"

"Hmm, we're certainly in a tight spot, I think the best course of action would be to begin construction of some powerful units at our bases, we've secured enough properties, so I think we would have sufficient funding, but it would help to know what type of enemy we are facing. You, give me a status report! What does the enemy force consist of?

"It's the Dark Nova commander Jugger sir. Their army consists of mostly air units sir, as you know, we decimated their land and naval forces, but commander Koal somehow produced a massive air force and then tagged out with commander Jugger."

"I see, alright sergeant, connect me to our communications tower, I need to get a hold of our factory communications mainframe!"

"Yessir, right away sir!"

The soldier ran down the Silver chrome hallway and turned a corner into a room labeled "Communications room" and about five seconds later, a holographic screen showed up in midair, in front of Erickson's face. The face of a young-looking female elf showed up on screen. On the collar of her uniform was visible an id tag that read, "Cordelia, production and development"

"Lord Erickson, it's an honor, sir. What are your orders?"

"Cordelia, I have sent the infiltration squad to invade enemy property and secure the available funding. I want you to use that funding to begin construction of the following: Firstly, issue a command that the western factory begin construction on anti-air and missile units, order the eastern seaport to construct one aircraft carrier and one cruiser, then, and I want you to personally oversee this one, construct two fighter jet units (that means ten jets total) at the airport next to our HQ, and, build one transport copter. Remember, the most vital part of my plan is that copter, I want you to personally oversee its construction, there is to be no flaws in its design, understood?"

"Understood sir! I'll get right to it!" and with that, the screen disappeared.

"Now then," Erickson said to himself, "where did that Lilly get to? She'd better have a good reason for skipping out on me like that."

"Uh, sir" said private Luke, one of the new recruits.

"What is it private?"

"I couldn't help but overhear you, if you're looking for 2nd Lieutenant Lilly; I just saw her running down the eastern corridor, over that way."

"Alright, thanks, and, at ease soldier."

Erickson darted down the eastern corridor, until he caught sight of Lt. Lilly's unmistakable long blonde hair. The reason it was so unmistakable was that Lilly quire often wore her air down, while the general rule is that, wile on duty, an officer with long hair must either wear it up (like in a ponytail or something), or cut it. However, it is commonly known that commanders, such as lieutenants Erickson and Lilly, being so "high in the food chain" don't always follow these rules simply because there aren't many officers that rank higher than them, and none of the lower ranking soldiers would never have the nerve to try and tell a commander what to do. It should be noted that Lilly took advantage of this fact quite often, and it had been known to get her in trouble with her superiors (namely, the generals). Lilly was about 15, and a second lieutenant in the Silver Sun army. She was just a bit short for her age, and somewhat skinny, though not altogether scrawny. And partly because of this, and also partly because of the fact that there weren't any uniform sizes for 15 year olds, her being the only one and all, her uniform was quite large on her. Her hands were rarely visible when she was in uniform, since the jacket sleeves were so long they covered the entire length of her arms, her hands, and then some. Also, her uniform pants looked extremely baggy, as if they would fall down if it weren't for the tightly synched belt she wore. Erickson was about 16, tall for his age, and also fairly skinny, though, in contrast, his uniform fit him fine, mostly because of his abnormal height, although it was a little baggy, since he was fairly skinny.

"Lilly! There you are! Where've you been all this time, you're my tag partner remember! Now I have to re-narrate my entire battle plan to you, I hate it when I have to do that!" Erickson gave her one of his infamous intimidating stares, (though usually easygoing and laid back, Erickson could get pretty scary when angered. And this wasn't the first time that Lilly, being somewhat forgetful, had skipped out on the exact moment Erickson narrated his plan, only to turn up the second he finished)

"Sorry! I mean it, I'm really sorry! Seriously, the last thing I wanted to do was skip out on you like that, I wanted to hear your plan, and I really didn't want to leave you alone in the battle, since we're tag partners and all, and I'm really, really sorry, but I had to! I swear I had a good reason!"

"Let's hear it then!"

"Okay, see, that new girl, commander Dove, was acting on technical duty, since she's not commanding this battle, and she asked me where the rest of the technical staff would be meeting, 'cause she got separated from them, and I mean, if I hadn't directed her to the meeting room, we would have lost a valuable tech. squad worker, and it doesn't kill you to tell me the plan again does it sir? I mean not to be disrespectful sir, but…"

"Alright Lilly, I'll let you off again, even thought this is the hundredth time this has happened, you somehow manage to have an acceptable reason every time. Anyway, about the plan, you realize that the enemy has produced a massive air force, correct?"

"Actually sir, I was unaware, but I know now!"

"Lilly, what am I going to do with you? sigh anyway, to counter that, I've issued the command that all our factories construct air-resistant attack units, you know, a-a (anti-air) guns, missile units, cruisers, fighter jets and the like. But, I also ordered the construction of a transport copter and an aircraft carrier. You can probably figure out what I'm trying to do, right?"

"Yessir, you're going to have the fighter jets escort the copter so it isn't shot down, and you're going to use it to pick up the infantry-based infiltration team I sent out earlier, then you're going to send it to the enemy's HQ, am I right?"

"Close, but not entirely correct, if my plan was that see through, the enemy would see it coming a mile away! Besides, they've got fighter jets constantly circling their HQ, that copter would get shot down before you could blink, even with the fighter jets I'm producing, they would be outnumbered by the enemy's fighters and both the copter and the jets would fall from the sky like a ton of bricks. No, my plan is this: all the large-scale anti-air type units I'm producing will wage a direct attack on the enemy's airforce while the copter sneaks in behind the scenes, escorted by the fighters, as you said; it'll pick up the infantry team, and land on the deck of the cruiser. The jets will touch down on the aircraft carrier so as to temporarily avoid fire from enemy jets. The cruiser will advance down the water-filled trench that leads to the enemy's HQ, taking down any air units it encounters as the carrier provides backup fire with its missiles. When they're close enough, and the enemy fighter jets have been sufficiently thinned out by the cruiser and carrier, our jets will take off and finish the job; followed by the copter which will unload its men directly on the enemy HQ behind enemy lines. The infantrymen will take the enemy commanders by storm, and seize control of their headquarters, once it's secure, we'll hitch a ride on the APC parked next to our HQ so we can investigate the scene. This time we will discover the truth behind black hole's motives, and their infamous regeneration tactics that have baffled our countries' leaders for ages."

"Wow, that's quite an elaborate plan you got there, the enemy will never figure it out. But, if it was so important that I hear it, I must play some part in it, right?"

"Of course, you're quite the intuitive one aren't you; yes indeed, you play a major role. See, halfway through, I'm going to initiate our dual strike magic, you know, we entwine spells so that our units can move twice as fast as the enemy's, and our special abilities get amplified due to the effects of our spells, we've both saved up sufficient energy, am I right? Anyway, I'll use my mastery of wind to create a thunderstorm which will strike the enemy where it hurts most, straight for their fleet of jet fighters. After advancing all units as far as possible, I'll tag out with you so you can use your adaptivity to rain and fog to sneak behind the unsuspecting enemy and carry out the rest of my plan. Any objections on your part, Lilly?"

"No sir! Yet another brilliant plan! But, just so you know, next battle you need to let me do a little of the planning too, I mean, I know I was late this time, but next time…"

"Yes, next time I will follow your plan Lilly, I have no doubts it will be quite ingenious, as all your plans are."

"Okay. And by the way sir, your plans are pretty ingenious too."

Their conversation was interrupted by the holoscreen (the holographic screen mentioned earlier) as it appeared again in front of Lilly and Erickson. Cordelia's face appeared on the screen again; in the background was visible five fighter jets and one transport copter. They were all a sleek design and silvery-chrome colored. The jet had an emblem on its wing that showed a silver colored picture of a sun, and the words "SILVER SUN" in all caps. The copter had this same emblem on its door.

"Commander Erickson, Commander Lilly, an honor, as always. As you can see, the units you requested are built, and all the others have been built at the respective properties, and are awaiting your orders commanders."

"Thank you Cordelia, Lilly and I will take care of the rest, over and out."

"Yessir, over and out sir."

"Alright Lilly, you ready?"

"Yup, let's go, Dark Nova won't know what hit 'em!"
