1LT JENNIFER "PARADIGM" HAWKINS – DUSTY DEPOT ROCKET LAUNCH FACILITY – 4 KMS EAST OF SNOBBY SHORES

Today was supposed to be the the day the Federation and all the others were cease to exist under the plans we were forced to conduct. During this stertorous period, almost everybody we knew had to make a lot of sacrifices in order to seal the fate of both worlds: Earth and Aquarius. And our mission, was to launch a missile to destroy the portal that connected both of our planets against both Atlas and the Federation, destroy the rift beacon and activation zones and kill the man who orchestrated all of this.

I don't remember the exact details as to how it all happened right after the Zero Point; but it was certain that under that period, many of our closest allies that we once knew, would never make it out alive. And that occurred the same time, the Galilean V-91-3MDD would strike the core, and create two alternate worlds. One belonged to earth, and the other to ours, since this technology would be gathered by both organizations and subsequently another two: ALTER and EGO.

It all started in the middle of a vague night, when much of our planet came under fire as a result of a third war that took place during our search of these beacons. And during that brief, yet intense war, many of our brothers and sisters were lost trying to protect each other from our former allies and enemies; but even if we suffered heavy losses, trying to protect ourselves, we couldn't trust no one, not even Atlas. Everybody feared that this planet would be prone to a number of wars that would eventually follow, even if we failed.

This time, however, we ensured to ourselves that our world we lived would thrive without the use of the Federation, since they were the mongols, the nomads to be exact, and unleashed hell for a certain amount of time. But if we failed, then these hypothetical wars would come to fruition and unleash hell amongst all people and bring about, the Apocalypse...

"Lieutenant," said the Scientist.

"Go ahead," I replied.

"You already know where all of this has led us to, yes?"

"Wilco."

"All right. I'll be giving you a recap on what we're planning in order to save the planet from oblivion. Although we lost many of our men gathering sufficient information, it's time that we prevent the Zero Point from happening. For Operation: Evangelion, we need you, if not, all of us, have to cooperate together, and fend off both Federation and Atlas forces in destroying the beacon that we created through the devices that we've gather over the span of 3 months; there is a possibility that the Catalyst, may either intervene and allow this to happen or come an support us."

"I'm uncertain that she'll make it."

"What do you mean?"

"They've captured her."

"So that means..."

"We're on our own."

"Regardless if the Catalyst's our ally, then we need to proceed as planned, since the data Kaitlyn gave to me a few days earlier matches the exact data that everybody gathered." interrupted the Visitor.

"Activate the beacon, and this will effectively prevent the Zero Point from happening. But listen. Closely. When the timer reaches zero, we'll simultaneously launch the missile that we built out of the same materials we gathered during the previous attempt while you activate the beacons. That way, we'll effectively destroy the portal and ensure that their plans stop. We only have one chance in making this happen. If we screw this up, then it's all over. We're counting on you, Sentinels. Good luck!"

"Understood."

Sasha provided overwatch while the rest of the Sentinels, the MEF pilot and I fortified our defenses across the depot.

"Is everything good to go?" I asked to Sasha.

"да" Sasha replied in Russian, "Everything's good to go."

"All right. Hana, right?"

"That's right," she said, "So, are you sure that this is going to work?"

"We can't take any chances at the moment," I said, "It's now or never."

"Here comes the Federation," said one of the Sentinels, "There's Atlas as well."

"We're right on schedule," I said, "Get everything set up. Sasha and the rest of the Sentinels will be equipping some of the enemy uniforms, while Hana and I will finalize the defenses."

"Got it," said Sasha.

While everybody else readied their defenses and waited for the convoy to arrive, I equipped my Paradigm power suit that was given by the Legionnaires and helmet, while the MEF pilot climbed onboard her mech. Knowing that this was going to be a tough battle, I knew that the two of us would have to stay back and activate the beacons. It lasted for some 15 minutes for both forces to arrive. I thought to myself that if this was going to work out, then I knew damn well I be a hero in saving the entire fucking world.

One by one, tanks and transport vehicles from both sides arrived, and the Sentinels quickly chose their target silently, as they grabbed their RPGs. They then later opened fire and destroyed one of the transport vehicles. The Federation later returned fire, and I could see dozens of infantrymen storming their way through the hangar.

A few minutes passed, and the Atlas forces arrived, and the Federation intervened to take out the convoy that was sent. Once the two had engaged, this allowed us for more time to finalize the rocket launch. It was hellish, since I could see several soldiers lay dead on the ground covered in, regardless if they were our allies or not, along with the bullets flying near us and screams of the soldiers as they were shot or kept pushing forward to take out their adversaries.

I could later hear the radio chatter coming in from all teams, as I could hear the Sentinels telling the others to fall back, while the Federation telling their allies to keep pushing, as I heard it from a two-way radio coming through a dead soldier.

I then heard an explosion coming in through the blast doors from the converted rocket launch facility, and stormed their way trough the launch room. Just as I could see dozens of soldiers coming in, Hana and I made our last stand in taking out both forces, as this was more of a free for all that pitted every single force into each other.

"Gateway, Gateway" exclaimed one of the Sentinels, "Multiple Federation and Atlas infantrymen are storming in to your position. I say again, multiple foot soldiers are converging their way to the control room. They're going to prevent it once they get you, do you copy?!"

"Shit, what now?" asked Hana.

"We have no choice," I replied to her, "All Sentinels, this is Gateway. We've confirmed both infantrymen from both sides making their way towards the control room. I say again enemy forces have been spotted near our AO. All allied forces are advised to hold up as much as you can, while the missile approaches the rift portal. Out!"

"Roger your last," said one of the Sentinels.

"Lieutenant," he frantically called my name multiple times, "Are you sure we're going to make it out alive?"

"We can. Don't worry." I replied. "It has been an honor to serve with you Sergeant. If we don't make it and get engulfed by the black hole that we predicted, then pray for everybody seek for forgiveness."

"Yes, ma'am."

I ran towards the control room with Hana, while we desperately ran as fast as we could, trying to dodge all the bullets that fired at us while Hana used some of her defensive mechanisms to protect us in order to make it towards the control substation. I was frantic enough to see an erroneous Scientist, thinking that we've died during one of the explosions by one of the demolition men. The three of us ran cover from cover to try and find the Visitor, who we weren't able to see.

"Paradigm," said the Scientist, "What happened to my bastard accomplice?!"

"I don't know where he is," I exclaimed while some of the bullets ricochet all over the computers, "Besides, here's too many of them! I can't risk it losing any of our friends..."

"I'm sorry," he replied, "I sympathize your remarks, but listen to me. If the missile doesn't strike the core, then we are DONE FOR! Do it!"

I was reluctant on pushing the button, since I feared that this was going to go towards the wrong direction. But upon looking at everybody that I knew or never met get shot at or desperately telling them to stop firing, it was enough for me to get up and throw a grenade or so to create a diversion, so that I could press the button.

"Ok."

I rushed over to where the keys were that controlled the Zero Point and pressed the button to open the already-floating portal and see the missile being launched by the air thanks to them, and everybody gazed into the air, thinking that we we've done was over. The missile that we built blasted off and subsequently disappeared into the night sky. Thinking that the operation succeeded, I later looked at the sky once more, only to see the missile reappear once again, as quadruplets started appearing elsewhere, and it effectively warped the meteor from affecting us, since it was the same object that forever changed both worlds.

Just as I thought we succeeded and later began to celebrate, a frag grenade was tossed by one of the grunts and it hit the visor, thus damaging some of the core functions it had to protect me. Although the strength of the blast was enough to throw me about a few feet back, the armor that came saved my life, but the sheer explosion would instantly knock me out in the process, thus rendering the others to believe I was dead. Upon laying on the ground, thinking about what had really just happened, I heard the screams of all the soldiers from all sides saying and kneeling to the ground that the fight was over, and that we pray for ourselves to live on.

All the while this was happening, what had impacted me the most was the way that everybody stopped firing their guns and started looking at each other, trying to understand what they're actually witnessing, while some had fired at each other, trying to storm their way inside and prepare to upload the abort keys. There was one person that was serious enough, that he actually tried to upload the abort codes, only to find that it was too late to be inputted.

As I slowly got back up and saw what was left, the meteor eventually made its impact directly at the portal, which sustained minimal damage. But it wasn't until the missile that we launched would be accompanied by another 6 coming from other facilities across the world, and it made its impact towards it. Upon seeing the explosion personally, it was enough for to be destroyed, that the planet's mass and core started to lose its density. And it was because of that, everybody that I knew started to float freely at zero gravity. Knowing that there was nothing else to do, but witness the death of our planet, I embraced with Hana one last time, and screamed out, "God help us all!" before everything that we knew and shared would cease to exist.

Our actions would be enough to destroy the Federation and Atlas, but what I wouldn't expect at all, was the formation of a new planet; let alone, live in an alternate version of our exact same planet or so...
