Chapter 5: Background Research III

"It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow."- Robert H. Goddard

Miss Mia Steinmann is a recent Master's degree student, graduating from the Technische Universität München with a Master's in Science in Biomass Technology and a Bachelor's in Genetic Engineering. Mia since she was a young little girl, always dreamt of working in the Resource Development Administration alongside with Mr. Van Lu Minh as a fellow researcher in developing new medicines, and scientific breakthroughs for the people. As Mr. Minh not only dedicated his life to researching cures for cancers and varies diseases, his medicine saved her life when she was still a baby girl. It saved her from bone cancer. This then gave her that inspiration to want to work for the RDA and make it a way to say thanks to Mr. Minh, for all what he had done for her indirectly and humanity. Now that dream has come true but not quite as she expected.

She was in joy when she got her Acceptance Letter from the RDA and it was signed by the CEO himself! She waited so long for this! Now hired as a full-time geneticist at the Resource Development Administration. Miss Mia Steinmann was given the opportunity to become one of the many hundreds of scientists, engineers and researchers that will be taking part in the expedition into the Special Region and beyond. Her job is to collect and analyze samples of anything she finds in the Special Region that is organic in nature. As this will help not only the RDA, but to the whole world as well. New medicines, scientific breakthroughs, and new potential food sources. The thoughts rattled her brain with delight, and she dreams of what she could do in the Special Region as a scientist for the RDA, for humanity. "All the possibilities". She thinks as she sleeps from her joy. But that is only possible if she can catch her flight to Japan in time.

Ring, ring, ring

Ring, ring, ring

Ring, ring, ring

"Your flight shall be leaving in 1 hour at Frankfurt International Airport. A single flight straight to Tokyo, Japan." -Siri

Ring, ring, ring

Ring, ring, ri-

Wham! Mia slaps her iPhone into snooze for 5 minutes.

"I still have an hour to get ready…" Mia slowly thinks while she sleeps on her bed. "Did I not hear Siri say the flight leaves in one hour?", "Must be a glitch?" "Huh, wait, WAIT, WAAAAIIIITTTT", as Mia thinks with confused internal screaming.

"Scheiße! Scheiße! Ich bin so spät! SPÄT!". Mia jolted up like a rabbit and cursed as she quickly rummaged through her things and got ready to catch her flight to Japan, hopefully. Let's hope that's the case.


Around the Same time

Special Region

Italica

[Chuff-chuff-chuff chuff chuf chuff chuf chuff-chuff-chuff]

A greened camo RDA-marked Airbus H225M Helicopter is seen flying over lush green country land while making its way to the Trade City of Italica while being escorted by a pair of RDA Kamov 50 attack helicopters in their distinct green camo and another pair of RDA Escort Drone Helicopters armed with dual miniguns. They are using these helicopters as they had them at hand in Japan while their main helicopters and craft are busying getting prepped in Japan now.

[Radio noise]

"Italica Air Control, this is Caracal One approaching Italica over. ETA 5 minutes."

"Copy Caracal One. You are clear to enter. Maintain Vector."

[Radio buzz]

The group of helicopters approach the vicinity of Italica, the Independent Trade City under the leadership of Formal Clan and their countess Myui Formal. They are there to make negotiations with Formal Clan on behalf of the United Nations and the Resource Development Administration. It was the countess's 15th birthday today and they will use that for their advantage. Lelei La Lena is also currently there to teach the countess. They needed her to open another temporary GATE to allow their main forces and equipment through today. While the helicopters land onto the gardens of the mansion of Formal, a lot of movement could see seen in the forest around Italica.

[Helicopter lands, and the door swings open]

A squad of RDA SecOps soldiers jump off the helicopter, wearing Viper-Class amour and equipped with EURYS II Assault Rifles & CARB submachine guns. Behind them were a group of men in fancy black suits and a pair of SCOUTs armed with prototype first generation nail guns, the Hammer I. A precise, long range weapon that fires titanium "nails" capable of piercing most types of heavy armor. It was discovered to be highly effective against the scales of wyverns and the tough hide of trolls and ogres. The group were greeted by the Head Maid, Kaine and her maid escorts, Persia the Cat Demi-human and Mamina, the Warrior Bunny.

"Greetings Peacekeepers from the other side of the GATE, the Countess and Archmage Lelei were informed of your arrival, please follow us this way." Speaks Head Maid Kaine politely while bowing with her maid escorts.

The group of suited men, the two droids and two SecOps soldiers follow the maid escort while the rest guards the helicopters as the Escort Drones fly around the vicinity. The group goes into the Formal Mansion. Walking through the hallway, they all get curious stares from the maids and servants in the mansion, especially at the droids and the unique amour of the SecOps Soldiers, yet along their weapons. "It was drastically different from the JSDF's own gun and other weapons; I never have seen such an advanced golem. It would require such immense amount of mana." Those were the thoughts of everyone when they were looking at the RDA.

Arriving at the office of Countess Myui, the group enters rooms and proceeds to greet the countess while leaving a SecOps soldier and droid outside the room, guarding. Standing outside as well, Maid Mamina pouts at the SCOUT with dissatisfaction, as the droid looks a lot like a Warrior Bunny. "Are you trying to make fun of me and my kind by looking like me? Did the JSDF create you for this purpose. Though….us bunnies are good at intimidation and being fierce…merciless"

[The droid does not respond or flinch, its two blue led strips remains a streak of blue as it stands there guarding. While the SecOps soldier chuckles at the maid.]

"Hey!"

[Meanwhile in the room]

"Greetings Countess Myui of Italica and Archmage Lelei La Lena."

"We come from the outside of the GATE, we are United Nations Observers known as the Resource Development Administration, observing the JSDF here in the Special Region for the international committee. I am sure Archmage Lelei La Lena is aware of who we are." Said the leader of the RDA Representatives.

[Lelei La Lena nods in response to the lead suited man in the group as they stand in front of Countess Myui and herself]

"Before we start our talks and negotiations today. Archmage Lelei we have a request to ask of you, so please kindly accept the request on agreement with the United Nations, the Japanese Diet and the Resource Development Administration. Also, too add, we as the RDA and UNSC Observers, we would like to wish Countess Myui a Happy 15th Birthday and a successful reign, full of hope and fortune."

[The RDA representatives present the Countess of Italica, a cardboard box with chocolate cake inside it and as well as another fancier box with a small diamond necklace, courtesy of the RDA]

Unbeknownst to them all in a faraway land. A blue haired, red eyed human girl wearing a blue & white priest attire with a gold armband, looks out at the distant sea as she sits on a sailing mask of a ship docked in port. Curious for an adventure and what lies ahead that could possibly change the world. She jumps off the sailing mask with grace and prepares to go forth, to Falmart.


Next day

Ginza, Tokyo, Japan

10h00

Mia was so relieved that she caught her flight in time. She is now supposedly standing in formation with all the other scientists, engineers and researchers. Before an announcement and speech that will be said by the one and only Mr. Van Lu Minh, CEO of the Resource Development Administration. There on the podium before them all, is Mr. Minh beside him is the Japanese Prime Minister, Morita, Japanese Defense Minister, Nomura and US President Dirrel.

Mia curiously watches and wonders what kind of speech the CEO will be giving before everyone departs to the GATE. All around her, she notices a lot of military equipment, expedition vehicles and soldiers. "Was that a SCOUT walking nearby?" She thinks turning her head around to get a better look. But the SCOUT soon disappeared amongst the formations of scientists and soldiers. Defeated, she turns back and asks the lady in front of her.

"Hallo, my name is Mia Steinmann. How are you? Are you going through the GATE as well? Do you know why there is so many military equipment assets being ready to be deployed to the Special Region?" Mia asks the black haired lady with curiosity.

The lady turns around and replied promptly. "Hi my name is Chantal Appleton. Nice to meet you! I am going through the GATE! I am will be working there as a Mechanical Engineer. Are you also going through the Mia?"

"Yes, I am going through the GATE as well, as a Geneticist there. "replied Mia.

"Awesome, let's hope we will meet each other again when the teams get chosen for the varies expeditions throughout the Special Region. It will be awesome that we can be on the same team. We will be best buds!" Responded Chantal with glee.

"Yes, I hope so." Said Mia

"I think the reason there is such a large amount of military assets being deployed beyond the GATE, is that it is for our own protection, peacekeeping as requested by the United Nations and general security." Chantal continued.

"Wow, the United Nations!?" blurted Mia

"Yup, it was. The request was sent to the CEO himself and he accepted promptly", "Did you not see the papers?" murmured Chantal, turning back to the front and ushering Mia to do the same.

"No but- "wondered Mia, before Chantal said. "The CEO is starting to speak. Quick let's listen!"

"Ok" responded Mia defeated and proceeded to look towards Mr. Minh with curiosity and determination.


Around the same time

Nearby airstrip, Fuchū Air Base, Japan

If you fly above the airfield right now and look down towards the airstrips, you would think that a massive war is about the start. Which you could say is correct but not really. What you're seeing below is a massive air fleet that will fly into a GATE and into the skies of the Special Region as the Resource Development Administration's iron fist. To protect those in need and destroy those who oppose.

Hundreds of personnel and transport vehicles are scrambling towards varies aircraft and getting everything ready before the deadline. These hundreds of aircraft are the various helicopters and air ducted aircraft that will be flying through the GATE and into the Special Region: Aerospatiale SA-2 Samsons, Scorpion Gunships, a C-21 Dragon Assault Ship, Kamov Ka-50s, Denel Rooivalks. There is of course jet aircraft such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, Sea Harrier, Loyal Wingman drones and not last but not least a couple of Airbus A400M Atlas planes loaded with troops and AMP units, but those aircraft will be flown through the GATE as the second wave on a later stage.

The natives of the Special Region will be in such a big surprise and awe at the fleet that will fly before them and as well as the soldiers marching through their streets soon.

Commanding, the RDA air fleet, is none than other Colonel Miles Quaritch, he looks out the window of his personal C-21 Dragon Assault Ship which he personalized by having an orange-coloured Chinese dragon painted below the cockpit. Lighting a cigar, he takes a puff before ordering his men to prepare to take off once the GATE has opened above the air base.


Ginza, Tokyo, Japan

The Podium

10h30

[The CEO of the Resource Development Administration starts his opening speech with a slight cough.]

"If you go through the life history of people that are our ideal and are successful, you will find that they haven't turned to be what they are just by snapping their fingers. They have worked their way up, fighting difficulties and overcoming the challenges. They sometimes have faced depression and have fought their way over it. Many of us lose our hope and dreams when hit by depression or despair. We give up and stop fighting for our dreams. Is it the way to the success that we seek?"

[Everyone looked towards him with question and curiosity following his question.]

"No."

"Everyone goes through a sad phase of their life; everyone knows sorrow and have experienced it. Life throws lemons at everyone. But successful is the one who knows how to turn lemons in their favour and enjoy it too. Successful is the one who knows how to get over the grief and fight for what they really want."

"There is one thing that you must leave behind if you really want to taste success – excuses. The excuses are the failure's way of dumping their faults on you. If I failed once, we must learn to take responsibilities and learn from our mistakes. Instead of making excuses, we must think of the way to win over the reasons for our last failure."

[Earning some snickers amongst the crowd. Mr. Minh continues.]

"Another thing that pulls us away from the success is our fear. Before we begin, we face a lot of doubts. What if we don't succeed? What will people say? What if problems come? We often let go of the opportunity in such doubtful conditions. Instead, we must fight our fears, take chances and do whatever it takes in our power to be where we want to be within reason. I have lost my own daughter to cancer. Devastated by my loss, I decided to within all my power to help create new medicines, cures and innovations that will save other people from experiencing a devastating loss like I have."

"That is why I created the Resource Development Administration. An organisation that is fit for the people and will lead humanity into success and the development of the Special Region beyond the GATE!"

"By working together and following this moral and code. We can do anything and we will achieve anything together. We are the RDA! Open the GATE!" roared Mr. Minh ending his speech with his hands raised in the air in a fist.

"Long live The RDA!"

"Long live Mr. Minh!"

"Long live The RDA!"

The crowds and formations roared in unison as hundreds of cameras flash to take pictures of Mr. Minh with his inspiring speech and as well as the crowd.

The heavy metal gates closing the gigantic dome above the GATE, slowly opens and everyone starts getting into their vehicles and proceeds to drive to the GATE.


In a truck driving towards the GATE

"That was such an inspiring speech by the CEO" exclaims Chantal, looking at Mia.

"I know hey, it gives everyone such motivation to do well in the Special Region. Let's hope we will be working together." Suggests Mia.

"Agreed" said Chantal, fist-pumping Mia.

"For humanity. There won't be any regrets once I cross the GATE." thinks Mia, deeply before looking towards the window of the truck and into the darkness of the GATE.

"For humanity"

The trucks drive through the GATE and into the darkness of the void between worlds with combat vehicles, AMP suits, and construction vehicles in suit.


Around the same time

Nearby airstrip, Fuchū Air Base, Japan

As the trucks carrying the scientists went through the GATE as well as the land based military vehicles for the first wave proceeded to go through the GATE. All the air assets of the RDA got their go-to signal. The signal to go through the GATE, but not just any GATE. A GATE created by the Archmage Lelei La Lena. A powerful mage aided by the wonders of science, technology and the powers of a Goddess, Hardy. She will be proven to be a valuable ally and asset to the Resource Development Administration.

"To all RDA Air assets, proceed to your vehicles and get ready to depart into the GATE and into the Special Region. Proceed with pre-planned flight paths and do not deviate from them or else we won't be seeing you on the other side. This will be our first air mission on another world. Enter with a bang and commence Operation Thunderstrike. God bless you" Roared the speakers throughout the airfield on a loop.

As if on cue The sky then suddenly turned into different colours before a vortex ripping through space and time opens above the airbase. One perfect to fly through with everyone.

All the pilots of the RDA looked in awe as they knew contact was successfully established between this world and the Special Region. Lelei La Lena had opened the GATE for them and that negotiations were successful, but they all know she can't hold open the GATE for too long. So, they needed to act quickly.

"Alright men, you heard the control tower. Get your choppers and planes in the air now. We are going to go through the GATE and whip some Roman Ass if we need too. We can show them who's the boss around here. We are the RDA, The RDA SecOps. We protect RDA assets and interests! We fight for the Earth and the RDA. Oorah!" shouted Colonel Miles Quaritch through his intercom.

"For Humanity" they all thought as they all powered on their aircraft and fly up towards the GATE.

As they all took off into the blue sky above Fuchū Air Base and fly into the dimensional vortex that connects worlds. Colonel Miles Quaritch takes one last puff of his cigar before sighing, "I can't wait for the smell of Napalm in the morning."


Mobile Command Center

Ginza, Tokyo, Japan

11h00

"General Kalani, what is your progress on the operation?" asks Mr. Minh as he speaks through an intercom. There was a slight pause, then General Kalani answered in his masculine robotic voice from the other side of the GATE.

"Good morning, Supreme Commander…. Everything is going smoothly…. Operation Thunderstrike is underway and the trucks have successfully crossed the GATE…. I calculate that today's operation will have a 98% chance of full success, based on the hundreds of possible simulations I had ran here, while observing the local populace…. There won't be failure, I can guarantee it…. Any complications will be eliminated, Supreme Commander."

"That's good news, General Kalani. Proceed to commence with Phase 2. What about the potential of terrorists?" Responded Mr. Minh.

The CEO of the RDA is concerned about this as with the capture of a rogue Mage who is still defying that he works for no one. There could be others or a group of extremists who would try and attack Alnus Hill and hinder progression. The Super Tactical droid estimates that could be a possibility, but it is unlikely due to lack of sustainable leadership and resources for the extremists. Unless they had some magical advantage and such. The droid even suspects that the mage is still lying and will subject him to torture and brain experiments in the later months, if he still refuses to spill any information.

"Affirmative, the possibility of terrorists will be dealt with. They will suffer under the might of the Administration." Responded General Kalani robotically before signing off.

Sighing, Mr. Minh got out of the Mobile Command Centre and looked up in the sky. Relieved, he said to himself. "All is going to plan now; it is only a matter of time."

"For humanity" thought Mr. Minh before walking back into the Mobile Command Centre for more reports.


Meanwhile somewhere along the way to the Special Region

In a cargo truck, in a crate.

An independent American journalist named Eddie Brock (Author's Note: Yes, that dude from Spiderman, just needed a journalist who can fill in this role) sneaked onto one of the cargo trucks heading into the Special Region. He managed to bride one of the JSDF guards to let him onto the truck, he wanted footage and pictures to expose the JSDF and the RDA's notorious intentions of enslaving the Special Region and subjugating the local populace. He is going to make so much money from the scoop. He chuckles to himself as he hides inside a wooden crate full of food parcels, as the trucks drives through the dark void that connects the two worlds. He just needs to get out once they arrive in the Special Region and blend into the native population while getting the footage and pictures he wants so badly.


In the Special Region

Around the same time as the RDA's mass deployment

In the forests around, and the sky's above Alnus Hill and Italica

"The time has come... for our invasion of Alnus Hill. Gather all our forces and prepare to attack. Get The Weapon ready." Spoke Archmage Godasen to his followers through magic mirrors in the meeting chamber.

"Demon, prepare for your mission. You are to infiltrate the JSDF in this chaos and destroy them from within." Speaks Archmage Godasen through his magic mirror to the Asura demon Gashasura.

"Yes, my lord." Replies Gashasura

The Imperial Remnant forces are getting ready into position before launching an all-out offensive at the JSDF. Their forces are using cloaking magic to evade the flying eyes of the JSDF while moving through the forest as it was proven successful against a JSDF convoy a few months back. Godasen's airships and wyvern forces are flying high in the sky above the clouds. Much higher than the JSDF's iron swords. No one will spot the air fleet. Once in position. His airships and wyvern units will dive down to Alnus Hill and Italica and bombard their defenses by using the cannons and the magical weapons on board. Wyvern units will breath fire and claw at the JSDF personal and local populace, causing chaos. After which the enslaved Lizard people will attack the base and the settlement with the Imperial Remnant Army and their monster corps behind them. Tinae artillery cannons once in position will fire hell onto the JSDF. Before the JSDF could react, Godasen's magicians will activate The Weapon. The Weapon will send out a burst of magical energy powered by the silver floating rock and ancient magic thus disabling the JSDF's counterattack.

This will be a victory for the Imperial Remnant, once Alnus Hill and Italica have fallen. His minions will indulge themselves with the luxuries of the Other World. Even if they fail, the morale and public opinion of the JSDF would falter. The Imperial Remnant's parting gift will leave a scar on the JSDF if they lose the battle.

Thus, the Imperial Remnant will rise from its ashes like a phoenix and be VICTOUROUS. They will become the NEW SUPERPOWER OF BOTH WORLDS!

Or so they thought…


Time for the reviews!

navyfield90

As always, thank you for your support and review in my story. I am South African, with Vietnamese heritage. I am so sorry if there is a lot of influence, I didn't mean to put it in there. It was coincidental that the actual 8699th in Real life that I based the meeting from had Vietnam as the President etc. I am not trying to be bias though as well. I thank you for pointing that out, I will keep it in mind for the future. A lot of the equipment, the RDA is using is theirs and international equipment as well. Earth did not officially *own the Special Region, but we have the power to take over the whole place if needed be. In the next chapter will be a battle and a retaliation from the RDA. Thank you! Much appreciated.

Guest101

Thanks for the review! I will not comment on that you have said about the loophole. But it is a very good guess though…. your review of the flak jackets are true, their current flak jackets will protect them from small arms fire. But it is limited to what caliber and such. Maybe a 9mm or if lucky a .223 Remington. Its dragon scales though, so it should take a punch before going down.

TheRealGuest

Hi, thank you for your review. It's just a coincidence. There is no supremacy motive and no plotting. I am not trying to be bias. It is an Avatar x GATE fanfic. The Navi may make a cameo. It will be a mixture of RDA-modern tech. The technological level of Earth is not as advanced as in the movie but its close. It sped up due to the Arachnid War on Earth. Yes, I have borrowed the Super Tactical Droid Kalani from Star Wars, it is his Clone Wars voice. I liked to mish mash some movies. Also why not? It would strike fear into the Saderans. Yes, in a future chapter I will mention from what movies, I have borrowed. The airship and cannon piece will make its debut in the next chapter or two. With regards to the demon, possibly if they suspect something like that to occur. Or if such a being existed. The crime lords did betray the JSDF for money and greed. They will face the consequences. With regards to weapons, they stole quite some few of the JSDF's examples. Unobtanium, yes. With regards to the Weapon and the Gift, I won't spoil it. You may be able to guess it now. I appreciate your review, thank you.

Guest Million

Hi, thank you for your review and support. Excellent theory on Lelei and Rory. Though they may still keep their friendship as Lelei is the fiancé to Itami and he may prevent direct hostilities. Lelei may work for both the JSDF and the RDA but might shift more to the RDA due to the level of science and technology, the RDA possesses. She may try to get more information on AI and the application of magic with it. Though she may be stopped to due obvious reasons. Excellent theory on Lelei in 5-10 years with the RDA. Yes, Rondel will be in the story. Yes, I have read GATE UNDF before, it is a great fanfic. I agree with you about the declaration of war on the Special Region but it may just be for Godasen's group of mages and allies. It depends on their aggression and how the Special Region reacts to it. Yes, we will protect the Earth at all costs, I don't want to spoil some story points though. Yes, once and if Godasen and his gang is successfully captured, there will be trials. The RDA may take some bandits, rogue mages and etc into prison and possibly subjected to execution. Not trying to hint anything but there maybe a WMD used by the RDA if things go out of hand. As always thank you, I appreciate it.

Arms Dealer

Thank you for your review and continued support. The MOOSE is going to be deployed in the next chapter or two in the battle. It will be referenced in the next one. The AMP suits as well. I appreciate your review, thank you.

Coment9

Hi there, thank you for the review and interest in the story. Yes MOOSE is from the movie Chappie. Those technologies were created as an answer to the Arachnid War and the crime levels rising in South Africa and etc. I hope you liked the RDA's human contingent in the chapter, in the battle they will be mentioned and used a lot. As most of their forces are humans. Their weapons and gear are just like in the movie and in the game. I will write out a list in the future of their gear layout and etc. The RDA's weapons and gear will be more efficient than modern standards and in the Special Region as it is quite advanced just like in the movie. I appreciate your review, thank you.
