I think I made a tradition to just upload content in march and may of every year since 2019, not that I am very pround of that.
...
Anyway, you would be wondering "¿Why the hell I am doing something like this when I have other stuff too do? *looks to my other fics*" and to that I answer... I don't know, there's just something that stops me trying writing that after two pages. It's like my inspiration just goes to the trash...
...
Well, that out of the way, I just LOVE to play the Supreme Commander games and I like watching some of the Gate series and a bit of the fanfics over here.
...
So since that both franchises are now like in a limbo or outright dead in the case of SC, mabye I should give some love to them. Because that's what a fan would do, right?
...
I will stop now and I hope you like this, though I had nice reception to my other things and this might have the same result... But one never knows the final outcome.

Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There! Is owned by Takumi Yanai and Supreme Commander is owned by Hellbent Games (Rest in Peace Gas Powered Games...)
The Gates of Two Realms
Falmart, Earth Calendar 2015.
The Empire, a militaristic, hegemonic and cosmopolitan civilization located in a world with magic and medieval-like pre-industrial technology simply known as the "Special Region" by the JSDF, began to devise a plan to extend their domains to the outside of their own world and obtain new slaves, because of the lack of other territories to conquer on their home continent, Falmart.
Furthermore, one of the reason is that their Navy vessels were too primitive to invade faraway lands outside Falmart like the Avion Sea. Consequently, they decided to achieve their goal by taking advantage of a particular natural phenomenon present in their world: a temporary time-space portal located on top of Alnus Hill that connected randomly with other universes.
The portal is small, invisible, and would disappear after a short period of time as both universes rebounded away from each other after the collision. First, the Empire sent scouts through the tiny portal to see what was on the other side and they discovered that it led to a world almost completely different from their own.
The portal appeared in the Ginza district of Tokyo. The Imperial scouts were able to move freely among the crowd by being mistaken by the people as simple re-enactors or cosplayers and they managed to kidnap some residents to get information, however, language barrier preventing them to get nothing from the captives.
After shallowly confirming the presence of a large unguarded city as the Imperial scouts only had saw a small piece of a district, not a city, the Empire built a large frame around the portal, wide enough to allow an army to pass through and used its magicians to bind the portal to the Gate. This caused the portal to become visible and a mirror image of the Gate to appear on the Ginza side, as well as causing the link between both universes to become permanent. The emperor Molt Sol Augustus ordered to assemble a large army with elements from all the provinces of the Empire and to move it through the gate.
"What should have been done is scouting; determining the enemy's true strength through reconnaissance. Then, it could have been concluded as to whether it would be wiser to engage them as friend or foe." Maquis Casel, one of the advisors of the emperor, scolded Molt's recklessness and arrogance in dealing with the unknown force like the JSDF.
Originally the Imperial expedition was tasked to scout the new world and to investigate the opponent's power to determine their strength and then conclude whether it was more beneficial to take the people beyond the portal as friends or foe, but the emperor decided unilaterally to order the attack, without hearing the opinion of the Imperial Senate as he was too overconfidence with history of 600 years of domination of the Empire in Falmart.
With the element of surprise on their side, the Imperial forces were able to capture some war prisoners, killing hundreds of defenseless civilian and cause serious damage to the buildings around Ginza, but they were soundly defeated by the combined forces of the Tokyo Police and the JSDF, with 60,000 Imperial troops were killed and 6,000 Imperial soldiers and nobles were taken as prisoners.
The superior technology of the JSDF proved sufficient to decimate the medieval armies of the Empire which were completely unprepared to repel a retaliation of such magnitude.
A few months later, the JSDF launched a counter-offensive through the Gate and crushed the reinforcement and encampment of the Imperial Army in the First Battle of Alnus Hill and took control of the Hill to build base.
On the other side of the gate the Allied Army of the Empire's vassal kingdoms gathered at the foot of Alnus Hill for the imminent arrival of the JSDF's armed forces to engage them in battle.
The allied army was completely unaware of the kind of enemy whom they would fight, much less about the true intentions of the Imperial army to not engage the enemy in battle alongside them.
The Allied Army was crushed by the superior firepower of the tanks, artillery, and small arms of the JSDF, with over 60,000 losses among their ranks. After the end of the Second Battle of Alnus Hill it was estimated that the Empire's overall casualties amounted to over 120,000. The battle of Alnus Hill was the last time that the Empire dared to face the JSDF in battle on open field.
The other nations of the Earth such as Russia, China and the United States have also started to show interest in paving a way into the unknown world. This is because the world beyond the Gate can potentially act as a new source of exploitable resources and each and one of those countries began to act behind the scenes to reap benefits from the Gate.
However, Japan has refused any offer from the other countries to carry on the war with a joint military effort. The United States then formed an alliance with Japan to supply the JSDF with ammunition, armament, materiel, military supplies, and weaponry in exchange for a privileged position in the exploitation of the Special Region's resources.
The USA also provided the threat of nuclear retaliation against invasion if they dared to do something drastic. Other countries, such as China and Russia, have begun to consider the idea of invading Japan just to take control of the Gate and colonize the Special Region.
After the victory at Alnus Hill, the JSDF forces started to consolidate their position around the Gate with the construction of a permanent base at Alnus, erecting defensive walls, machine gun nests, barracks, command posts, armories, supply warehouses, firing ranges, motor pools, and landing facilities for both helicopters and fixed-wing aircrafts. In order to secure a sizable amount of territory, defend the land around the gate and negotiate with the enemy, the JSDF needed to gather intelligence to formulate future plans.
With the help of helicopters and unmanned reconnaissance drones they began taking aerial pictures of the land around the Gate to map the surrounding areas. After that they started investigation on human cities, population, races, industry, religion, political landscape and the culture of the people native of the Special Area through the use of six recon teams.
But just after the recons teams were dispatched, some of the drones and scanners have been reading and intercepting unknown energy spikes and signals all over the continent. This confused the generals and commanding officers in the base, so they ordered to identify those anomalies. Many drones were sent to investigate these things, combat planes also were ordered too just to make sure nothing hostile endangered the hill.
The reports that came after only given more questions than answers.
First of all, the drones tock pictures and videos with their advanced cameras and send them back to the HQ. The images varied in various things, the closest energy signal to the hill revealed to be like a zone that look like everything around it just got bombed by a M.O.A.B or some sort of shockwave that flattened and burned everything around an area of around 100 meters or more. This zone was at around like 100km or 150km of distance to Alnus Hill, not to far nor to close to the base.
In the ground zero of these things there was some sort of... Thing. This was destroyed, or looked like they were destroyed and it was very big, like too big. It's a humanoid figure, it was lying in its side but it was already like 25 meters tall just by its weight, and the height was, if these images were accurate, was a huge 48 meters tall. Not even the ogres that attacked Ginza were that tall, they were just like 5 or 6 meters tall.
But that was not the most surprising thing, it was the fact that it looked like a damned robot. It had a military blue color but the burned parts made it look like more a dark blue, it had two cannon-like arms, something similar to a backpack in its back and two robotic legs made of metal. It looked like something out of Gundam but more blocky and less decorated.
This made everyone worried, so much so that the generals ordered the combat pilots if they can get a look for themself and confirm these sights. The pilots were curious and worried by the tone of their general, so far the campaign was going wonderful since these imperials guys were no match to them, something really bad or rare has happen. With that thought, they doubled their effort and flew faster to the 'burned site' as their general called it.
When they reached their objective, they couldn't believe their eyes. They reported the same things that the drones already did, but they added the report of watching some parts of the 'robot' fall from it. The drones also caught that in video now, and many pieces were falling from it, including the backpack-like thing from its back, almost like it was 'waking up' as one of the pilots said. Also the drones are now receiving the noise of gears and engines coming inside the machine, making that analogy very correct.
And to everyone's amazement and horror, the thing started to get up. It was a clucky process, since it had no hands instead it used its arms to get up, it tried to but failed, landing chest first in the ground. The sound of the crash made everyone watching have a great shiver in their spines, it was monstrous sound, like when a big building falling into the ground.
Then it tried to get up again, now kneeling in its metallic feet, then it standed up at its full horrifying height. The drones captured the narrowed holes in the head, kind of like eyes, started to glow blue.
Now, it's just standing there, doing nothing. The generals were about to start giving orders to the pilots when suddenly the robot turned around to the dropped parts, and fired some sort of beam to the scraps. The things started to disintegrate or more like being absorbed by the robot, one by one till there was nothing left. Literally nothing was left, only the marks in the ground were the only evidence something was there.
This left many with wide mouths of disbelief and confusion, and soon enough there was discussion about what the hell is that thing. But one thing was clear from the start.
This thing is NOT from this world.
Space held such hope for humanity, fresh start, a chance for old grievances to wither away and die. Quantum Gates Networks let humanity push deeper and deeper into space.
Countless planets were colonized and governed by the Earth Empire. Humanity entered a new age of peace and prosperity.
The pace quickened, a human brain was succefully joined with an artificial intelligence by Dr. Gustaf Brackman.
The symbiots were born.
Eventually humanity war based instinct tock hold and the threat began to unravel.
The symbiots demanded independence, the Earth Empire's response was a secret loyalty program that pacifies anyone with a A.I implant.
Dr. Brackman fled with his closest symbiots and created the Cybran Nation.
They would fight for their freedom.
An alien race called the Seraphim was discovered by human colonist, the Seraphim introduced the settlers with something called The Way.
But despite those peaceful intentions, the aliens were attacked by xenophobic soldiers.
Soon, the Seraphim were no more.
The Aeon Illuminate formed from the ashes, they will spread the way and cleanse the galaxy of non-believers.
The Earth Empire Collapsed, the galaxy fell into darkness and chaos.
From the ruins; rose The United Earth Federation. An old idea made new, unite the galaxy and restore order, not matter the cost.
The technology of destruction surged ahead, the Armored Command Unit made killing efficient.
An army could be create anywhere at any time.
The Infinite War has raged for 1000 years. Billions of lives has been lost.
But now the actors are assembled. The final act is about to begin.
It is time for the Infinite War to end...
Accesing U.E.F Timeline.
...
Access granted.
Information Age
2009: The U.S. aggressively pursues a program to put a man on Mars.
2016: Several Earth governments begin construction of interplanetary "shuttles" that are intended to explore and colonize the Solar System. Limited colonization takes place over the next forty years.
Quantum Age
2018: Major understandings in Quantum Physics create entire new fields of exploration; applying this knowledge to space travel is of keen interest.
2025: A single cesium atom is successfully transported 10 feet through a 'Quantum Tunnel' in a laboratory. This is fundamentally different from the "teleportation" experiments done during the turn of the century which merely "copied" matter- using quantum tunnels, scientists actually transport the same matter to a different location.
2032: A milligram of iron is successfully transported to the surface of the moon using the combined total output of 25 fission reactors.
2050: First living mass tests with Quantum Tunnel technology. Insects are sent first, followed by mice. Finally, larger animals are sent.
2055: Monkeys are successfully "tunneled" to a receiving base on Mars.
2061: A human team is deposited on Neptune's moon Triton using Quantum Tunnel technology. The journey takes 0.26 seconds.
2062: A research base is established on Triton to explore interstellar travel.
Colonization Era
2108: The first extra-solar human colony is established on a planet in the nearby Alpha Centauri system. The enormous energy cost dwarfs any previous endeavors, forcing scientists to explore cheaper alternatives; sending large teams and their equipment such vast distances is deemed not feasible.
2110: Earth is united as a single government with a bold new vision of expansion to the stars. Advancements in artificial intelligence, Nano-technology and biological engineering give rise to a massive colonization program using a new approach: to conserve the energy of transmission, a seed population of 1000 bio-engineered human DNA patterns is sent along with a small team to set up the initial colony.
On-board Nano-fabricators are able to use mass and energy gathered at the destination site to construct an automated creche for the development of the seed population. Raised by AI (and their own bio-engineered skills embedded in their DNA), the colonists begin a rapid program of technological development and population growth in order to establish a Quantum Gate network between the initial three "alpha" colonies.
2284: The first sixteen colonies, later known as the Prime Worlds, are successfully established. During the following century, the Earth government adjusts to remotely governing an empire of colonies connected by Quantum Gates. Over this period, they prove their ability to establish and maintain quick and reliable communication and commerce across interstellar distances, effectively govern across those distances, and enforce its laws, trade, population and social programs.
The Earth Command, the interstellar military arm of the Earth Empire, fully comes into its own.
2316: The First Great Expansion begins. All colonies of the Prime Worlds begin their own colonization. The Earth government further refines their use of social, economic, genetic and political programs to maintain order and control. To keep pace with the rapidly-expanding empire, limited-capability military suits are derived from the exosuits used in colonization.
Instead of Nano-fabricating colonization equipment, these suits create limited autonomous military units controlled by a human Commander.
These were named the Armored Command Units, or just A.C.U for short.
As such, lower numbers of EarthCom personnel are required to enforce order compared to the older "human-heavy" systems. Throughout the colonization period, the Earthcom is called on to quell all manners of disturbances ranging from colony disputes to full rebellions, with minimal loss of EarthCom life.
2525: The Second Expansion begins. Over 110 colonies begin their own colonization efforts. So far, no intelligent alien life has ever been found; many now assume that there is no other intelligent life in the galaxy.
2557: [scientific data updated] A survey expedition to the distant world of Seraphim II, a promising planet over 5 times the size of Earth, does not reestablish contact within the standard window. A routine follow-up expedition is scheduled.
2590: A second expedition to Seraphim II is sent, but also does not reestablish contact with Earth. Seraphim II is marked HAZARD and added to the EarthCom's lengthening "investigate hazard" list. Due to unrest on the frontier, the EarthCom does not send investigation probes to a HAZARD world for over five years.
The Birth of the Cybrans
2592: A computer AI is successfully implanted into a human brain. The human/AI pair is called a Symbiont.
2612: The Symbiont program successfully completes its R&D phase.
2663: The Third Expansion begins. The Earth Empire begins to have difficulty managing its colonies.
2666: Procyon, a Symbiont colony, applies for independence. The Earth Empire sends in troops to maintain order.
2669: Militant Symbionts on Procyon attack Imperial troops. Secret 'loyalty' programming installed in all Symbionts is activated.
2678: Some Symbionts flee and form the foundations of the Cybran Nation.
Aeon Containment
2679: The Earth Empire is contacted by descendants of the Seraphim II expedition who claim to have been modified by aliens. The Earth Empire quarantines the sector and sends Commanders.
2679.3: Contact with all planets bordering Seraphim II is lost.
2679.8: All contact with EarthCom forces within 10 light years of the Seraphim Quarantine Zone is lost.
2812: The Earth Empire begins to lose control. In addition to fighting both the Cybrans and the Aeon from Seraphim II, Imperial forces are forced to contend with extensive internal conflicts.
2817: The Aeon attack in force and the Empire loses more territory along the Quarantine Zone.
The Infinite War
2819: The Infinite War begins.
2924: The Earth Empire has lost control of most of its territory. Anarchy reigns across the galaxy.
3256: The old Earth Empire is officially dissolved. The United Earth Federation rises in its place.
3764: The UEF, Aeon and Cybrans continue to fight over the remains of the old Earth Empire.
Present Day
3844: The Infinite War came abruptly to an end by the unforeseeable emergence of the thought extinct Seraphim invasion force through a Quantum Rift above the planet Earth formed by the U.E.F Super Weapon Black Sun's firing in October 3844.
Over one thousand years after the Infinite War has begun.
This event forced the Cybrans, Aeon, and U.E.F to forge a hasty alliance against the invaders.
However, Brackman's computer, QAI, made with Seraphim technology, rebels and joins the Seraphim, QAI managed to cripple the Quantum Network in the human factions and disorganisation led to the doom of many worlds.
Along with a large part of the Aeon Illuminate which renames itself the Order of the Illuminate, beliving in the words of their gods, they are now assisting their crusade against humanity.
The remainder is renamed the Aeon Loyalists, who are loyal to Princess Burke.
The Seraphim and their allies are winning this conflict until they are driven back from their foothold in the galaxy after losing the battle of Griffin IV. The Coalition suffered many casualties but the victory restored the moral of all the human factions.
They started the blueprints for a base of operations in Griffin IV, expected to be made in 3847.
But the future still looks very grim to humanity, only something or someone with the skill or luck enough will end this nightmare or else is the end of humanity.
Forgotten World, Earth Calendar Year 3846
It's the evening of a tropical world, with many jungles and beaches, alien fauna could also be seen around these parts. Some creature that looked like a fusion between a lizard and a cat was hunting another creature that looked like a fusion of a bunny with a squirrel. The squirrel-bunny creature didn't notice the predator till it was too late and has its life taken away. The predator, content with his catch, tried to find a place to eat it in peace.
That peace however was taken away by the sounds of marching giants machines, numbering in the hundrens walking through the forest like it wasn't even there. The predator panicked and tried to run away from the machines, but it was no use, they were just too many and too big. Instead he just hided in a hole in the ground that just big enough for him and his prey, running for his life.
Then began the other sounds, the sounds of death and destruction. The sounds that happen when the machines found their enemies, and treaded fire with fire. The Forest was being obliterated by the collateral damage and machines exploding in fire, he could see from his hiding spot many kinds of fire.
Blue fire, red fire, green fire and the occasional yellow fire from explosions. Then he noticed up in the sky there was some kind of machine with yellow fire coming from behind and coming closer and closer to the ground.
And when the metal thing touched the ground. He will never see nothing else for the rest of his life, now that he and the forest were consumed by nuclear fire.
The battle raged on anyway, with even more nuclear bombs and artillery shells detonating around the planet. Scenes like before would repeat until the one of the opposing A.C.U has been destroyed and meltdown in atomic fire.
This has been the ways of war for the last millennium, and they will not change it now.
The Seraphim and The Order have found out of another military world of the U.E.F, and in true Seraphim fashion, they attacked with everything they got.
The mass points were the most battled over since they are a tactical advantage, that can allow the victory the side that controlled them.
The U.E.F Commander, with some Cybran and Aeon allies, have coordinated a defense to protect the base and the city that lived with it. So far it was going well, though the damage done to the environment will change the planet for the worst, it was a price they are willing to pay to protect humanity. The evacuation protocol was activated since the first signal of Seraphim origin, and many families left their homes through the Civilian Quantum Gate, small enough for the civilian's vehicles.
Meanwhile, ground units, air units and naval units of all shapes and sizes were fighting for dominance.
In one attack, U.E.F's T3 Heavy Assault Titans bots and Armored Assault Percival bots slaughter their way to the enemy base, only to get stopped and destroyed by Seraphim's and Aeon's T3 Tactical Bombers Sinntha and Shocker as they drop their payload being Quark Bombs and Zhanasee Strategic Bombs.
These caused massive damage and the assault faltered, but is just one of the many, many, attacks and assaults.
In another attack, Cybran's massive T3 Class Galaxy Battleships were firing their Triple Proton Cannons at the shores of the Aeon Order base. Later supported by U.E.F's even bigger T3 Class Summit Battleships with their Triple Gauss Cannons, the firepower of these fleets were flattening the Order's Commander Base. She tried to send some ships of her own but they were no match for the T3 ships, and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
At the end of the attack, the only thing that was left was the destroyed Commander's mushroom cloud that a hovering over the base. After that, all her units self-destroyed or passed to the control to other Order's Commander, making sure he doesn't the same mistake as her.
After long hours of fighting, the allies and the aliens were in a stalemate. Neither side could get to make a decisive attack on the other, so they went for another tactic.
It was then the night turned to day, when the skies were filled with the trails of shootings stars. But these are no normal shooting stars, these was something else. And when they touched the ground, earth-shattering artillery were landing, and with them, they brought death and destruction.
One of the U.E.F Commanders had enough of this stalemate, and began in working in the upgrade to his A.C.U to be able to fire a tactical nuclear missile. Others followed suit but instead, they just build the nuclear missile silos to hold their own upgrades, they thought were more important than just lauching nukes. And they were right, making a nuke was a long and costly process, they need all the mass and energy possible to destroy the enemy.
Nether the less, when the first nuke landed in the planet, it started a chain effect that would make it a wasteland. Nuke after nuke were launched in every enemy position, and the Seraphim and the Order responded with more nukes. Some areas have been raised to the ground, while others were protected by the anti-nukes missiles launcher in the main base and forward outpost. But not everyone saved all their forward bases, even the enemy was damaged by this blow, but they recover quickly and resume their assault.
But at the end, the desperate alliance near the base couldn't resist the near unstoppable charge that soon came after in the morning. They used huge battle units known as Experimentals, units so powerful that can change the tide of any battle by just making one. These were the Seraphim Experimental Assault Bots, known in their language as Ythotha.
It is a two-stage weapon. In its initial form, it fires an extremely destructive Phason Beam, two devastating Gatling Plasma Cannons and a finishing Heavy Sinn Unthe Cannon. When the primary unit is destroyed, it unleashes a ferocious Quantum energy being, this being is known as Othuy. It is essentially a big ball of lightning that destroys or severely damages everything in its firing radius. It is untargetable and indestructible, but disappears after 30 seconds.
Apart the fact that these things are taller than some mountains in the planet, they are very durable too. They can shuger off cannon blast from the Sumit Class like it was nothing, but they are weak in when swarmed by bombers and gunships. But enemy aircraft and anti-air vehicles are supporting these behemoths, making air strikes almost impossible.
The allied forces didn't have the resources to make one of their factions Experimentals and were running out of ground, they tried to reclaim some of the wreckage of destroyed units and buildings. It gave a small boost in mass but it wasn't enough. Also the giant monolith T3 energy generators were destroyed thanks to a very lucky, or unlucky in this case, shot from the Seraphim artillery when the shields were down after a bombing run.
It was clear that the base was lost, and many of the allied Commander were retreating to the next likely target planet of the Seraphim and their Aeon followers. Others have panicked and ran a random coordinates to get them out of that hellhole, leaving their partners behind in a cowardly display.
Not everyone had the same bravery to fight these threats. But an Aeon Loyalist and U.E.F Commander have standed their ground in a last stand against the aliens. They fought bravely, and caused many casualties between the Ythotha and creating a spectacular chain reaction with the Othuy. It was all futile when the Seraphim fired their nukes to their bases, numbering in the dozens.
They gave a valiant fight, but the anti-nuclear missiles couldn't keep up with the brutal launch, the Commanders acknowledged their imminent death and tried to keep fighting till the nukes explode.
5 Minutes later and in the horizon of the planet a new sun rose and fell.
With another victory under their belt, the Seraphim then proceeded to destroy everything of human nature in the planet. Then they began the reclamation protocol, and absorbed the wreckage of the battle and everything that may gave them more mass. They established a Quantum Gate in the planet to extend their ever increasing empire to destroy all humans in the galaxy.
The planet was left beyond broken, it is now a Forgotten World. The battle have contaminated so much the planet that it was pretty much unhabitable to humans and everything without a suit.
But, unknown to the Commanders that crossed the Quantum Gate in their retreat. The Gate was malfunctioning thanks to the decreasing rate energy that came to it after the generators were blown up. Leading to some of the Commanders being sent into the Quantum Realm or shred into pieces by the raw energy of the realm.
But those lucky enough that survived the travel, would wake up to notice that the planet they landed into will be the most unique of all in their universe.
Of course, if they or the Seraphim don't destroy it first by just existing there.

The King Saul... Is Going OUT!
(First update: Is because I was clearing grammatical errors that I found after reading the story. That's what happens when you don't sleep and rest enough.)
(Second update: Damn it, I messed up the timeline. Now I replayed the campaing in Forged Alliance somethings in this timeline are wrong, but now it should be fixed now.)
