Reviews:

ww1990ww: The Story is set during the year 25 or something like that which is the same year that Vanilla WOW is set, which gives the Civilisation's 2-3 years before the Warlords of Draenor Expansion, which means that the Cities will be fully built by then and basic industry and infrastructure will be present... and no doubt needed when the Alliance and the Horde get their asses kicked by the Iron Horde... but that is something that can be easily fixed by Modern Arms and Armour... if you get my drift! ;)


Chapter 2: First Contact: Slavic Federation

Strelkov Antonovich, a soldier of the Colonial troops was busy driving his ATV Combat Rover on an exploratory expedition mission that he had received personally from General Kozlov himself, a high honour, unfortunately his trip was doomed when an annoying person, Kaja Lenska, a Polish scientist, was brought along to accompany Strelkov on the backseat alongside her scientific devices to record god-knows-what onto Kaja's phone, the Problem was that she liked to talk about scientific stuff all the time… and she requested that Strelkov stop every five or ten seconds so that Kaja could stop and pick flowers and what not…

The Scientist had all the time in the world to gather flowers in her own time, but no… she had to gather flowers and collect rocks in Strelkov's time.

At least the man riding shotgun, Paramonov Valerianovich was quiet, quiet and attentive, hallmarks that led Strelkov to believe that Paramonov was a Ranger, and the 20x102mm Anti-Material rifle that he stored on the floor of the rover only added more evidence to Strelkov's belief that he was a Ranger.

Strelkov idly reached for his water bottle before pouring some down his face to cool his head… the weather on this part of the Planet was very hot and dry, the view outside was long and flat, arid sands that stretched for many kilometres, the only relief to be had in these bad lands was the stray oasis of water or the shade from the palm trees that etched themselves every once and a while, eking out an existence in a hard and sadistic environment… The weather was brutal to Strelkov, he himself would have preferred being in the Heavy Gravity training sim for an hour then going through ten minutes of this desert… a desert he had to endure for even longer because of Kaja's frequent pauses.


Kaja reached down to collect a small reddish flower that was growing just next to the shade from a nearby palm tree, she yanked it out slowly and carefully by the roots, reached out his left hand to her pocket and pulled out a zip-lock bag before placing the plant inside the bag and zipping it up with her index finger and thumb from her right hand, then she pulled a permanent marker from her shirt pocket in the upper part of her shirt before listing down on the zip-lock bag a set of co-ordinates and the days date before listing down her name, That being done she then put the zip-lock bag in the back of her back pack.

Kaja was sure she was done in the area, but she spotted a slight slope of a nearby hill and decided to check it out.

When she arrived at her destination, she was greeted to a view of a small battle off into the distance, it looked reminiscent to a battle between a Sabre-tooth tiger wearing Mongolian or Hunnic warrior whom were retreating from but also firing Parthian shot's towards his opponent's, which consisted of three large green-skinned humanoids and a fourth anthropomorphic Bovine-like creature that was very large and burly.

Kaja quickly ducked low and retrieved his walky-talky before calling Strelkov.

"Strelkov, bring up your ATV, I have encountered a Multiple Xeno-species in combat!"

"Fuck" was the reply that Kaja received, the call then ended a split second later.

Kaja then decided to make a foolish decision to photograph the event, where the refracted lens glinted into the eye of the Tauren.


Ohanpa Earthtalon was chasing after their Alliance foe alongside his other companions, their opponent was a Night Elf on a striped frost saber, he was firing arrows from his bow with great skill when suddenly his eye spotted a glint, that glint lead him to a human wearing brown pants, a khaki coat with several straps containing small bags attached to the hip of the human, The human was holding a strange black box in both her hands and there was an empty holster at his side.

Ohanpa Earthtalon stopped his charge and shouted out to his companions.

"Brothers, there is a human on that Hill"

The nearby orcs halted their charge and turned and rushed towards the human instead of the Night elf.


Kaja knew that he had been spotted when she saw that the Green and bovine like creatures began to rush after her.

Kaja reached for her pistol that she often left in its holster on her hip, but then remembered that she left it on top of the Rovers back car seat.

"Fuck!" shouted Kaja in Polish before running back as fast as she could.

Kaja paced forwards as fast as she could but she slipped on a nearby rock and inwardly Kaja knew that her chances of survival were not good, her pursuers where roughly 40 metres away.

Kaja tried to get up, but when she put weight onto her left leg, she skittered down to the ground again, it was at that point that Kaja knew that her left leg was broken, there was no escaping this, she knew that she would die soon, and yet she still had so many things left to discover.

Suddenly, she heard a ferocious roar behind her back, Kaja turned her head and saw that Large saber-tooth like cat with the... Elf-like dark-blue alien on its back, he held a bow that was fully nocked back to the figures cheek, he then fired towards one of the green figures, the Elf-like alien then turned around and ripped Kaja off the ground and onto the back of its saber-tooth tiger.

Kaja groaned out a thank you in Polish

"Thank you"

Kaja then fell asleep on the Alien's shoulder


Lymelaen Treewind continued to escape from his pursuers, he quickly craned his body back, his bow nocked to his cheek ready to fire when he realised that his opponents where now heading in another direction, he then glanced in the direction that they were headed and spotted an unarmed Human civilian.

"Great!" shouted a not too happy Lymelaen, he now had to put himself at harm's way thanks to that damn human… that Human had better have a lot of gold if he survived this.

Lymelaen turned his mount towards the hill, Lymelaen hoping that his saber could outrun the Orcs and Tauren, and also hoped that his saber could handle the excess weight if he had to haul that human into safety.

After twenty seconds, his mount had reached the summit first, unfortunately the human tripped on a rock and broke her left leg from the subsequent impact.

Lymelaen sighed, he then paced his Saber upwards, nocked his Bow to his cheek and fired an arrow at a nearby orc... the Arrow hit a moment later on his right shoulder, but being the strong fibrous muscles that Orcs were made of, the Arrow had minimal impact on the flesh...

Lymelaen then turned towards the human and pulled her up onto his Saber before rushing off

The Human groaned out a response to Lymelaen could not understand, it was in no language that Lymelaen could understand

"dziekuje"

The human then fell asleep on his shoulders, he blushed at the close contact, but he had to escape from the Orcs and the Tauren who were close arriving, thankfully they were all warriors, so he did not fear being attacked from behind by ranged attacks.

Lymelaen rushed his mount into the Direction of Ratchet, sure that they would be safe and protected by the Goblins whom made up the city.

Roughly forty seconds later, he heard a volley of repeated gun-fire that was fired in a salvo far too rapidly, but he did not have the time to investigate and he had a Human to save.


Strelkov arrived forty seconds too late, he spotted what looked to be like a large Tiger with a rider on the back and what looked to be Kaja, they were headed in an easterly direction, but that was not the only problem right now...

Strelkov's second problem was in the shape of four figures, three large hulking green things and a Minotaur-like thing with Huge braids and a massive battle-axe that made a Bardiche look like an Ice-pick in comparison, they were Rushing towards him and Strelkov had standing orders to only fire upon when absolutely necessary.

Strelkov held out his left hand to the figures and shouted out to them.

"Keep your distance or you will be Fired Upon"

They apparently ignored him, not that Strelkov was surprised as he highly doubted that they spoke russian, until one of the Green Figures bellowed out something that sounded interestingly similar to English, not that Strelkov could speak english mind you.

"Capture them, that device will be worth a lot of Gold"

Strelkov turned his face to look at his Compatriot for a shocked second before he turned his head, he then put his left hand to his 7.62x51mm Streltsy Assault Rifle, when he noticed that the Figures where rushing towards him, he issued a single warning shot into the sky in an effort to deter them, it failed... thus Strelkov shouted out his final warning.

"This is your last warning, Keep your distance or i will be forced to fire upon you!"

This too had no effect, so without further ado, he fired a short burst of five shots in an effort to keep his opponents back, at the same time Paramonov fired his 20x102mm Anti-Materiel rifle into the base of a nearby palm tree, the effect of the high velocity round impacting against the palm tree caused the Tree to be ripped into two, this had some effect but did not stop them from charging, so Strelkov looked down his telescopic sights and aimed down to the right leg of one of the Green aliens, then pulled the trigger once, knowing well that the shot would hit... the high velocity round did exactly as it was designed to do, go right through flesh, muscle and sinew without yawing and causing catastrophic damage.

Strelkov then sighted down his next opponent and was ready this time to fire two rounds centre-mass, but then he noticed that the Large Minotaur like creature stopped running and shouted out to his friends, Strelkov paused momentarily from firing and waited to see how this would turn out.

"We should not anger these Humans, let us leave peacefully"

Strelkov didn't understand a word, but he damn well knew that what they spoke was the english language.

Strelkov then noticed that they all halted their charge and they were all holding up the wounded alien, Strelkov turned his head and spoke to Paramonov

"i think it would be best if we returned back to base and report that Kaja is missing... What a great first day to the Colony huh?"

Paramanov left his head from the scope of his weapon, turned his head to face Strelkov and replied back

"Yes, General Kozlov will not be pleased"

Strelkov walked back to the vehicle, his back always to the rover and his hand always on the trigger, constantly watching the Aliens to ensure that they would not turn back, when Strelkov was back into the seat, he quickly put his hand on the key, turned on the ignition and promptly put the pedal on the gas and drove like hell at about 140 kilometres per hour.

Paramonov however was signaling back to base about the entire event, his call was quickly put forward to General Kozlov... he was not exactly pleased about hearing about the loss of one of his colonists, but he was surprised about the variety of species that apparently inhabited the place.

"Can you confirm that these Aliens are possibly at the Medieval or Renaissance stage of their technological development?"

"i cannot be certain, not without observing their societies or civilizations, if possible, might i request that i be sent on an Information Gathering mission?" spoke Paramonov

"No, i will send out our only Drone on a reconnaissance mission, why have it gather dust in the Hanger, return back to base... oh, and be ready to meet a stranger on Return, one in Plate Armour... it seems we have found one of those Aliens that you were talking about as we speak"


Anachronos was most intrigued, he saw a large gathering of Humans in unusually stark white or beige clothing, their soldiers wore what looked like useless padded clothing and their weapons looked similar and yet dissimilar to the dwarven and Goblin version of Arquebuses, this intrigued him, There technology seemed advanced, so why then did their soldiers don such weak Armour, a question he was sure to ask...

Anachronos assumed his Human form before he rushed up to a nearby guard and spoke to him in Basic, sure that they spoke basic.

"Show me to your leader"

He was wrong, they pointed their guns in his general direction but not at him, they then spoke in a language that Anachronos had never heard before

"Руки вверх!"

A nearby guard laughed before he too pointed his gun towards Anachronos, the Guard then spoke Basic that was heavily accented.

"Drop your sword... Put your hands up!"

Anachronos was in no way afraid of Humans, but he was curious and eager enough to grant these mortals their request, he untied his sword from his belt and handed it over to one of the guards, he then put his hands up in the air whilst one of the other guards spoke into a black orb thing on one of their helmets.

"Генеральный Козлов, у меня есть иностранец здесь вы ... он говорит на английском языке"

"Что Чужой хотите?"

"Он хочет тебя видеть, по-видимому"

"Действительно, отправить его потом ... убедиться, что он ничего глупого не делать"

That guard then turned off the 'talking device' and spoke up to Anachronos in Basic

"The General will be seeing you, put your hands behind your back"

Anachronos complied with the guards order and put his hand behind his back.


Authors Note: If anyone is interested with First Contact Stories, then i suggest reading Thedas: The New World, which i feel is very similar in tone to this story (it should as i wrote it), The premise is this... What if the Spanish, instead of finding America, they find Thedas instead, ponder that situation for a moment and think of the political situations, the effects that arise with new and unknown technologies, these are the inherent Questions that i like to have present in most of my Fan-fics as i feel that they make for a more interesting story, but what i am trying to say is... please read Thedas: The New World, it is an unknown story and i feel that it deserves at least a bit of attention, so if you are interested in those kind of situations, give it a read

one of medchtsia's Reviews brought that up and it instantly reminded me of my older, previous works... and apparently i like setting up Political and Cultural dramas to my works
