Chapter 29 The Invasions

M4X-386

The Olympus

06 JAN 2017

As the fleet flew through hyperspace, General Ellis was in the war room along with the senior staff. There was a hologram of the world that lied at the end of their journey. There was one main city near the stargate with five villages that surrounded it. They were looking to land the troops in an open field that was two-hundred kilometers that would be west of the main city. On the east side was a massive ocean with thick forest to the north and a marsh the south. There was a large river that lied between the LZ and the city that they would need to cross. The invasion fleet would come in from behind the sun to keep the surprise.

Tensions were running high throughout the fleet more so on the troopships. As the crews went on with their work getting the landing parties ready. The troops had gone through their packs making sure that they had three days worth of supplies. For once they landed it would take up to twenty-four for them get fully set up. They would be arriving in the system at 04:30 and if things went as planned the invasion would begin landing at 08:00. For those that could, got some sleep that night. While others were to hyped up to sleep and just stayed busy making sure things were ready to go.

As the fleet came out of hyperspace on the outside of the solar system they began their scans. There was still debris from the lost ships floating around the planet's lower orbit. "What do we have?" Ellis asked.

"There are two ashen battleships and a control ship with two hundred Elementals in clusters of ten." Major Knolls reported.

"Have the Ares and Zeus prepare to move on the two battleships. Have the Hades and escorts move on the command ships. Scramble two squadrons of 302s with phase-shifting PSMs to take out the elementals." Ellis was ordering. "Have the Poseidon to hold back and cover the Titan and Achilles with its escorts. While our escorts cover the fighters."

Taskforce three began to spread out to take them on. The Aschen ships had seen these new ships in action on their feedback when they attacked Earth the second time and knew they were outmatched. While one of their battleships turned to flee the field a beam struck its hull as the BS-700 Ares fired its main beam. The BS-700 Zeus took out the other battleship before either could get off a shot. As the Hades and its escorts moved toward the command ship eight elementals clusters moved to intercept them. The two FE-350s and four EC-200s took on the ten elementals clusters. As the BC-550 Hades launched the attack on the control ship.

The two squadrons numbering forty 302s zipped through space towards the remaining ten elemental clusters. As the first wave came into range firing one of their PSMs they pulled away as the elementals fired their beams missing them. When the missiles hit four of the clusters they broke apart leaving four single elementals that began to pursue the 302s. The second wave fired two of their four PSMs at the six remaining clusters with at least two hits per cluster vaporizing them completely. The remaining elementals were taken out by the third wave of 302s. This battle was over in minutes.

The TS-650 Achilles and TT-600 Titan came into an orbit over the planet. As the massive hangers began to open and the dropships came out headed to the plains that were two hundred kilometers from the main target.

"Recall our birds and have the Titan and Hades deploy their 302s cover the landing party. How soon can our birds be redeployed?" Ellis asked.

"It will take twenty minutes to get them rearmed," Alice responded.

"Launch the other squadrons to begin the bombing runs. Are we detecting any ground defenses?" Ellis asked.

"There doesn't seem to be, General." the Major answered. "It looks like the Jaffa did a better job then we thought. Our primary targets have been identified along with the seconds."

"Very well launch the network satellites now. Use our beams to help get out men to the ground." Ellis order.

Troops were being beamed down as well as carried on the transport ships. It was going to take twelve hours to get both ships empty of their cargo. As the command tent was being erected. The twenty-four satellites were being deployed in orbit for GPS and communication purposes. As shipping containers were unloaded they were placed around the edges to form a wall around the makeshift base.

Aschen Headquarters

Central city

06 Jan 2017

"Commander we are under attack again." a technician reported.

"It has been six days since the Jaffa has left. Are they back so soon?"

"No Commander, this is the Earthers. Thirty-one contacts are coming from behind the sun. I have informed our ships to prepare for engagement." the technician said.

"Use the stargate to request help from another system." The Commander ordered. Moving to get a better look at the techs screens. His eyes grew big as he watched them break into four groups. It wasn't long before the first of their ships were destroyed.

"The stargate will not activate." the tech informed. "I am running a diagnostic on the dialing device now."

"Send a communication through subspace, we must get help now." The Commander ordered.

"Can't get a response from our relay satellite." the Tech reported. "There are forty of their fighters on approach from the sea."

"Have our troops focus on taking them down. Send out the hunter drones." The Commander ordered. It was then that the first explosion could be heard. The building shuck as the glass windows broke. More explosions started going off around the city.

The people began to flee their homes into the streets running to the woods. That was when a group of people was swallowed in a beam of light as a ship passed overhead. With thousands of people fleeing into the fields they were plucked from the ground with each passing of the ships.

Two of the 302s were hit by the Aschen tanks. Spinning out of control they crashed into the forest. But not before MBSS activated consuming the pilots into the device before it ejected.

In orbit on the Olympus, Alice received the distress call and immediately beamed the devices to the infirmary. Where the pilots were re-materialized, one was fine while the other had suffered burns from the blast that hit his ship. After the 302 pilots collected up the people that had fled their homes. They were transferred to a holding camp near the new base. Where they were processed to separate the Aschen from the natives. The pilots of the 302s were instructed to gather the natives first then any Aschen.

The Aschen had been reinforced by a troopship three the days before the fleet arrived. There were over forty of their hover tanks with over a three-thousand man. There was two-thousand large Kenobis and ten-thousand shall Kenobis. Only three of their tanks had taken damage from the first wave of attacks. With half of the natives being transported away, they had been ordered to gather the rest up placing them near the warehouses and factories that were still intact. Putting some to clean the damaged areas while others tried to repair.

"Commander, we are detecting multiple ship landing in sector Eighty-five." the tech reported.

"They are landing troops. Move our forces to the east side of the city. Have them erect the portable shields around the city. We will send half our drones out to meet them at the river in sector forty. Have the drones to begin deploying mines on the outside of the city to the river. It will cost them for every inch of ground they take. We need to get the drone manufacturing plant up and run before dawn. They caught us off guard once now let us show them." The Commander ordered.

The Olympus

M4X-386

"Sir, we are detecting shield coming online on the surface around the cities. There is also troop movement towards the east side. They appear to be forming a defensive line with tanks and men. There is a great number of kenobis moving to the river." The Major reported. "They have also moved the natives I and around the target sites."

"Inform General Johnson that he needs to secure the river crossing before we lose it. Have the 302s focus on the path to the city. Is there any way to use our transport beams to move the natives from harm?" Ellis asked.

"No Sir, there is now a dampening field that is preventing us from getting a lock on them. It has just begun a few moments ago." the Major reported.

"When did they come up with that?" Ellis asked to no one. "Well this is going to be harder then we thought. Find a way to get through their jamming field."

Command Base

M4X-386

"General Johnson, the Olympus reports that they know we are here and are sending us some company. There are kenobis headed this way, they will be at the river in an hour. It looks like we will get there just before them." Lt. Knolls reported.

"Send Colonel Franks to secure the crossing. Inform the tank commander to speed it up our men want to be able to hold them off long." General Johnson ordered.

"Yes, Sir" Knolls answered.

A few moments later five Raptors took off each loaded twenty men wearing the new battle armor. It was of the same design as the Kull Warriors these can change the camouflage that can match the surroundings. They were armed with the newest ABR (Asgard Beam Rifle) this was found in the Asgard core data. They had not used such weapons in eons. Fitted with a better power core they could last years on the lower settings which would stun a subject. However the higher setting they would deplete power in days. The suits were fitted with an extra power cell that could be recharged by the occupant's movement or redirected energy hit. These were much larger weapons but were lighter than they looked. Some were caring the HBW (Heavy Beam Weapon) which was more like 50 cal there was ten in all. They fired a beam that was similar to the ones on the ships.

"Set up three HBWs along that tree line and three on that side. Place two there and two over there." Colonel Franks ordered pointing to where he wanted the emplacements. "Captain, take your men to that ridge make cover behind those rocks. I'll take the wood line over there. We have less than thirty minutes tell the convoy gets here and maybe less before the Kenobis here so move your asses."

Just as the men had gotten into their positions. The eerie sounds of the large kenobis could be heard coming down the path. The convoy was still miles away and they would need to hold the pass till they got there. As the first kenobis came into sight another sound was heard coming from behind them. An explosion in front of the kenobis as the 302s passed overhead. They unleashed a full barrage of missiles on the oncoming kenobis. Servile was blown-up as the others opened fire on the aircraft. Once they came into range, Colonel Johnson gave the order to open fire. More 302s came in low firing their railguns as they passed over the site. There were now hundreds of kenobis insight with many more on the way.

Two of the 320 raptors uncloaked hovering ten meters above the ground. They each had six missile launcher tubes under their wings. As they fired the smoke filled the air as kenobis were being stuck. Once they released their payloads they were replaced by two more. The men on both sides of the clearing continued firing at whatever was still moving. Two of the gun sites had been taken out from falling rocks from the hillside. The wounded were beamed out as they could no longer fight. Colonel Franks was hit multiple times by the large kenobis beam weapons. His suit had absorbed most of the energy but the em-packs had taken their toll. He still refused to be removed from the battlefield.

Across the river, the tanks could be heard. The M3 Amphibious rigs hit the water they began to form the bridge needed for the crossing. It wasn't long before the first tanks were across. They formed a line as they began to push forward. The raptors stayed above them as they moved forward firing their missiles. It was taken time to push them back but after four hours of heavy fighting, the kenobis had stopped coming. It was then that they found out about the other problems that laid in front of them, mines. As the lead tank ran over the first mine it was flipped over on its side taken damage. This stopped the convoy until the path could be swept.

Colonel Franks and his men were relieved and sent back to the base camp. He had lost two men in the landslide with ten others and himself getting injured. The kenobis had been able to take out three more of the 302s and one 320. The mines were going to take time to clear. It took another sixteen-hours before they were able to reach the city. The next wave of kenobis moved out in front it was there they released the hunter drones. They moved faster than their big brothers so the tanks couldn't hit them. Five hundred men had dug in and were firing on the hunter drones. While the tanks worked on the larger kenobis and the Aschen tanks.

After six more hours of heavy fighting the shields felled around the city. The last Ashen tank was destroyed well as the drones and kenobis. The Aschen army stood little chance now for the invaders had been able to rotate their men on and off the battlefield. The 302s were able to us their beams to remove the Aschen soldiers to the holding pens. Once the damping field was down the rest of the natives were relocated and the factories were turned to rubble. There was only the Aschen Command building left defended. It was Colonel Franks and his men that were beamed to the location. Were they were able to take out the last of its defenses and entered. Making their way to the control room. They encountered what at first looked like security cameras mounted on the wall. Only to find that they were like the hunter drones. Having to shut them servile times to take them out.

Once the had gotten to the command center. Colonel Franks activated the phase-shifting device on his arm and walked through the door. Take the Aschen's command staff by surprise. The men that were with him fired at the staff with their weapons set to stun.

While another team had secured stargate only to find that it was inoperable. A team from the Olympus beamed down to see if they could get it to work with no luck. As other teams began to secure the other villages it was determined that the planet was theirs and the fighting was over.

The MS Hephaestus set up a field hospital to treat the natives and the wounded Aschen. While the wounded troops were beamed up to receive treatment. Only the most critical of the Aschen and natives were sent up for treatment. General Johnson had ordered his men to begin the clean up of the city and the villages. The structural engineers were deployed to inspect the damaged building well as the recovery of any who may have been killed in the collapsed buildings. The natives that had been treated and leased were also helping in the cleanup effort. A resupply ship had been requested to be able to provide food and shelter for the thousands that had lost everything. It was going to take years of aid for them to be able to hold their own once again.

The Enterprise

P9J-333

07 Jan 2017

As Taskforce One exited hyperspace they began the slow pace to the planet. It was the second of six planets around the sun. It had one moon that orbited low on the axis around the planet. There were large forests that covered most of the landscape with clear fields scattered around. there was a large gash that had been dug into on the western plains area.

"What have we got?" Caldwell asked on the bridge of the Enterprise.

"There are no ships in orbit just debris scattered all over the place. From the looks, there was a lot of elementals and other ships. We will need to clear some of it out before we try to land our transports." the Major reported.

"What about on the planet?" He asked.

"We are detecting four million human life signs on the surface. They are spread over the largest continent with the most concentrated on the eastern seaside. The stargate is here in the largest town." The Major zoomed in on the town with the main viewer. "There is Aschen emplacement here around the town. With three Aschen harvesters in neighboring would seem they were removing earth from this planet. We can't detect any drones from here."

"What about any drone factories?" Caldwell asked.

"There are signs of heavy bombardment in these areas." Pulling up the sites where he could see. "But it looks like they have been destroyed already."

"Very well begin clearing the debris up. Inform General Reynolds that there will be a delay in the landing parties. The jaffa left us quite a mess up here."Caldwell said.

"Yes sir the did. But I don't think they were worried about the mess." the major commented.

"Yes Major you are probably right. Let us beam down a few recon teams to get the fill of the natives. Let's find out if they are going to be hostile or not." Caldwell ordered. "Is the LZ sites clear?"

"There is servile home near LZ one LZ two is clear other than a heard of what looks like bison." The Major reported.

"Send the first teams to the houses near LZ one. Let's not bother with the bison if we don't need too." Caldwell said. "Open a channel to the fleet." Getting a go from the Major. "Alright we came a long way to get here but there is too much debris for the landing craft so we will need to clear some of it up before we land. We can use our beams to put down some of the supplies and men. At this time we may not need to land all our men. We are only detecting a small force on the surface near the stargate. The Jaffa did a number on this place so our work here will be to force them to surrender. The first teams will determine if the natives are going to be hostile or not. We are here for the Aschen and not the natives. So let's sit tight and see what's next. Caldwell out." he could see the other ships as they started beaming the debris away.

Ten men beamed down near the first farm. They made their way tit staying in the wood line. Till there was only a clearing left to cross. Four took up firing positions in the woods that had a clear shot to the house. As the other six walked out of the woods. They were wearing battle armor and carrying the beam weapons. As they got closer to the house a girl walked out and saw them. She screamed and ran back inside the house. Then a man carrying a rifle that looked more like a musket came out.

Colonel Gray saw the fear in his eyes as the six men came up. Lower the weapon and removing the helmet as she shook her hair around. "I am Colonel Gray of the Earth force. We mean you no harm. We are here to help free your planet of the Aschen."

"You mean the ones in those massive things that have been flying over my farm?" the man asked.

"Yes. Those are Aschen harvesters that have been removing dirt and soil from your planet. We are here to stop them before they destroy your planet. We have a massive fleet of ships in orbit as we speak. They are clearing debris from a battle that would have happened in the last few weeks." Colonel Gray informed the man.

"We heard great explosions nine days ago. Some had even shaken the ground. There have been many fireballs falling to surface as well." The man said. "But I have never met these Aschen."

"I Group of Jaffa ships are the ones that attacked the Aschen here. They were not trying to invade the planet only to get rid of the Aschen. The Aschen has taken over many worlds in the last few years. Some peaceful others by force or through intimidation. What is your name?" Gray asked.

"I am Toby this is my daughter Sallie. We moved out here after the Ori left our world. No one could make a living in the town after the Ori had left. My wife ha died from a sickness that fell upon us before we began to accept the teachings of Origin. There are still many that still follow the teachings but we fled after the Priors had left. Many fill as I do but not enough to turn the tables on those do. Some just go through the motions in fear the Priors will return." Toby informed her.

"This is disturbing news. What can you tell me about the other nearby farms?" She asked.

"One belongs to my brother and the other my wife's brother. They left when I did and for the same reasons. So to are the others we grow our crops and get together twice a year to trade. When it gets bad we have to go trade in the towns but not for three seasons. We started to see those harvesters two seasons ago and have been too afraid to go back." He informed her.

"Very well I will inform my commanders have your family stay close to home. We will be forming a base not far from here so don't venture there armed. We will not shot at anyone that doesn't shot at us first but you can't be too careful. Is there anything you are needing?" Colonel Gray asked.

"No we are fine here for now, thanks" Toby answered.

"Very well we will see you later. I have to go inform my commanders. Get word to your other family about what is going on." she told him.

"I will," he responded.

It had taken six hours before the first transports began to make their way to the landing site. Where they then formed a base camp as they did. A squadron of 302s flew over the town servile times but was never fired at. Once the base was set up a convoy left for the town with twelve of the 320 raptors close overhead. When they had made it to the town they were meet by the Ashen commander who surrendered without a fight. Teams were beamed onto the harvesters where they had digging in the ground and were ordered to return the soil to the planet.

There was now a hole that was larger than the Great lake I the US that was over four-kilometers deep. They would have to wait and see what long term damage this would have on the planet. With the capture of three harvesters this was a great victory. The teams that tried to operate the stargate found that it was inoperable. It had been four days since they had left their home ports. They were to stay here until the next deployment.
