Chapter 19
Scepter of Darkness
Summary: Time has been altered in the interest of the cunning defeater of Voldemort, Dumbledore had no idea this would happen and he wasn't able to stop the plan now the timeline has been altered. Peril is on the horizon of this future, beware the wrath of the dragon.
Helltanz's notes: To address 'mecha', especially the Mark I Assault Type, as well as the Metal Gears, of the current period (from nineteen sixty three to the beginning of the modern campaign, in other wards this collection of chapters) are not very mobile neither are they capable of sustaining high speeds for extended periods of time.
The fact is on another matter is the US will be using Mechs like the GDI Titan, or the Wolverine for now or rather when they get mechs, albeit those two will differ from there counterparts in Command and Conquer, and of course they will have Metal Gear.
Happy Fourth of July.

Introduction

"Hitler's assassination was a rather large bother, we suspect that the Allies, were involved though no definitive evidence was ever found. It resulted in two things. The first was the strengthening of Inter Imperial state relations. As well as increase in the strength of the hardliner faction, no thanks to my own son. Another fact that resulted after Hitler's assassination was the massive build up and 'update' of the Axis military. While the Order of the Dragon, and by proxy Dracaena had had the steady flow of economic resources from our colonies off world, the rest of the Axis had just begin to do this and it caused a growth in their economies and their technology as a result. It allowed upgrades and new ships to be built at lower costs, and to great worry to the Allies… I will concede the United Soviet Socialist Republics were also probably worried as well by this growth... of course the development of these colonies had a small problem, unlike the Drachenorden program, which using the information gained by Project Mimir allowed us to build much larger Stargates so as to facilitate easier transportation of materials, and the like, as well as the transportation of much, much larger vehicles and parts than the normal size stargate would allow. The Joint Axis program was in one location using a regular sized stargate, thank fully power was no issue, but the size of the gate and its location did certainly slow down the flow of supplies.
Across the Atlantic however things were different. The Revolutions in Southern America, central, and then Mexico, caused great disturbance in the United States, the mobilization of the US Expeditionary while the Vietnam conflict still raged, caused no small amount of unrest amongst the liberal portion of the population. However the United States did deploy one advancement eight years after the revealing of the third model UNIT, launched their own 'Land Warship', during nineteen seventy two, Germany during the military build up of their own forces developed their own land war ship. Unlike the UNIT these warships were primitive tools the US Vessel primarily traveled on tank treads, one of the common characteristics it shared with its German Counter part, both models were smaller than any of the UNITs as well, this was of course expected. Though none the less they served their purpose.
The modern space navies are based around the classes set down by their traditional sea faring cousins. This fact has been accepted by the space faring powers, those annoying Allies included, at present the Order of the Dragon still maintains the largest navy, much to the Allies and to some extent Germanicus and the rest of the empire's envy. The Allies primary craft, omitting of course captured Goa'uld Ha'tak, are Battlecruiser labeled crafts, such as the BC 303 Prometheus and BC 304 Daedalus which will be shortly entering service, though more vessels of different classes are being designed.
The Empire on the hand while relying on the similar 'weight' vessels utilize the Angelos class ships frequently found operating in wolf packs, much to the Goa'uld's displeasure, who are aware they might be able to handle a single surprised Angelos however two or more and they will operate together and out flank any attack the simple minded Goa'uld tacticians can think up, which is generally to stand in a row and shoot, and seeing as it is generally the fact being the Angelos travel most commonly in groups of five or more. Sort of like that phrase the allied came up for the HIND about encountering one alone, or encountering more than one. Of course they never bothered to come up with one for our Archangel class helicopter gunship, then again considering that the Archangel is pretty much hell on rotors to any Tank or Infantry group it engages, as the Jaffa are in the process of learning, the hard way.
Though to digress Hitler's death as well as Kennedy came at the time when the Order of the Dragon had commenced our building our space fleet, and even now the population at large continue if most only suspect we even have space ships in the first place, of course the population don't suspect the allies either, albeit the Drachenorden as whole is aware, as is the majority of the upper echelons of the Dracaena military is also aware of that capability.
As for the so called third Super power, a mainly self claimed power, the South African Union has just recently launched a flying vessel which we now is back engineered from an alien race, albeit we all concede it is an excellent design, if twenty years to late to be of any use against the Allies and regular Axis. We do however expect them to develop starship capability some time soon though by back engineering technology from the same alien race this craft is developed from.
Rommel for his actions during operation Midgarsormir wielded immense popular support in both Carthage and the United Arab States as well as in the Independent National State of Egypt. He spent the majority of his remaining life up until his inevitable demise in eighty nine commanding the UNIT he had been entrusted with decades before, stationed most of the time in Egypt or traveling to Carthage or UAS. On his death Rommel was honored with state services by all three nations, and Germanicus itself, in addition to the respectful periods of mourning laid out by the other states.
Donitz, Hitler's chosen and vastly more competent successor, was a decorated naval officer under his leadership had caused severe damage to the English fleet during the second world war of man. In addition as supreme head of the United Axis Navy had allowed the mixing of tactics, and the developing of strategies which incorporated Nation states ships the best of the fact was he had been supportive of each nations' right to develop, under his guidance Germanicus Kriegsmarine naval engineers had assisted in the construction of certain nations super carriers."

Axis Empire, Germanicus, Reich Axis rally
A fairly routine speech, that was all it was supposed to be.
The bullet hit before the sonic boom, course that was all relative.
The blood splattered the podium, and the poster behind the little Austrian. Asran had been shot at too many times not to move the burning pain as he turned nicked his lower neck and continued hitting his clavicle. It was enough his hand clenched activating the laser designator of his watch, the gunman didn't see the little red dot to busy trying to realign another shot. The air exploded, a sonic boom, an F 4 hovered in mid air in front of the building, two 76mm GAU 2 Picus Vulcan Machine guns emerged from the sheathes and opened fire spraying the roof with electronics guided fire.
"Foxtrot one," Asran whispered. "Take one alive I want the wretch interrogated." He snarled.
"Affirmative mein herr." Responded the lieutenant commander.

Considered as one of the most traumatic moments, despite the fact that Asran's injury had been fairly minor, Hitler however had not survived his own gunshot wound long enough to reach the hospital.
The severity of Dracaena's lightning fast response to the shooting, the sonic boom especially, had elicited awe in place of shock.
The resultant funeral had drawn together the Axis present were all, including the Soviet Union and the Empire of Japan, leaders. However unlike the day of Hitler's assassination massive forces were present. UNIT 15, among them, the newest model of the fear and awe inspiring 'land battleships' was present, unlike its predecessor models had much more advanced technological base. Though the new mobile fortress was less agile the ADOREs the Phase three UNITs were still flight capable. In addition massive P2000 super heavy tanks were assembled in column.
Hitler's final instructions labeled Donitz as interim head of the head of the Reich Empire. As for Himmler the SS were handling inter Reich security for the impending senate meeting. Donitz for whatever reason was one of the popular choices.
Asran had noticed the hard liners with in the Empire were rallying support though things were unlikely to turn in their favor completely.
The duke of Kiev watched as the Casket was lowered in to the ground.
The SS including Himmler and his top lieutenants, the Thule society, Gellert was present with Zero and Ein, as for others in addition to the state head were the respected military officials, the Drachenorden high command made their appearances.
The rifle salutes pierced the air.

Hitler had reestablished the aristocracy to an extent though to some degree it had been the other national heads that had bestowed the titles in most cases with in their respective dominions. However, with exceptions, most nobility fell into the trap of power growing used to the new rights leading to a decadence only surpassed by Rome.
"Well that's a bother," the 'young' man commented, he looked up, "Yes Father?"
"Tell me Arzachel,"
"When was the last you cut loose Father?" he interjected.
The elder Asran ignored the inquiry, "Arzachel why are you so insistent on taking the most extreme path?"
The younger death eyed noble smirked. "I don't have nearly as high expectations that peace will last." The duke of Moldova commented.
The lord grandmaster of the Order of the Dragon did not respond immediately, "If that is your opinion," he stated at last, "Tell your mother I said hello." The death eyed knight remarked turning on his heel, the younger vanished.
The door
opened a few minutes later.
"Herr Asran?"
"What is it
Herr Himmler?" he questioned the head of the SS
"Herr
Hitler is dead, and by an undesirable no less," at this statement
Asran nodded fully aware of the Shooters ethnicity. "Perhaps its
not wholly clear not every state of the Empire wields Dracaena's
power,"
The duke of Kiev turned "A build up?"
"But of
course Asran but to approve it I would need your support."
Hitler's dead, he would have supported it, he probably had. "Is their any reason to even ask," the death eyed knight, "My support is already there." The duke of Kiev stated.

Axis Empire, Europe, Dracaena, Ukraine, Imperial Duchy of Kiev
With the addition of, of Dracaena controlled bases on actual Dracaena territory, naval bases it drastically improved naval power. The Soviet wouldn't move against the Drachen orden especially now that Hitler was dead. The Reich was a bustle of anger, Donitz may have quelled some of it, but Terra Draconis was now marked clearly as a guiding light of the empire with the new third generation UNITs being only one consideration.
The USSR made the USA nervous, yet at the same time with Adolf Hitler, Asran's authority increased, albeit Donitz, and the aging Desert Fox were still regarded in and with great importance yet the duke of Kiev remained unchanged, by time either physically or other wise, except that his order continued to grow in strength. They, the Drachen Orden, presented a hope, to hope for new heights for the Empire.
Asran watched; the change hadn't been met with any huge transformation. The axis was quite used to being defended, being sheltered by the Dragon's wings. There were no major changes in the plans the order's growth would proceed normally. The UNITs and the ADOREs simply were more common, not really nor where they thought of as common. However it could not be disputed the Phase Three UNIT drastically made the power distribution different.
Two were being planned to be deployed in the UAS and ASU while another would be going to Carthage and nineteen would deployed under Fleet command. Of course none of this would be implemented until all five UNITs of the Phase three under construction, along with the planned Armored Core Frames were ready.
The war in Vietnam was intensifying. The Dracaena Federal State of Malay had security boosted once already to say nothing of the ASU who were itching to claim the rest of Indochina of course the Drachenorden were reluctant who wouldn't be the Americans had nuclear missiles the Philippines anything short of total allied defeat by the insurgents.
The United States was further building up their own military. The build up had resulted in the boost in technology specifically in the field of automation, this came at a price the technology was expensive and in some ways was fragile.
The duke of Kiev looked as Archangel Gunships flew through the sky. The Axis was still on alert so patrols were flying daily. The Super Solenoid (S2) reactors allowed the Dracaena Air Force to fly with out the need to refuel. The grandmaster of the Order of the Dragon sat down, no matter what the assassin's hope, likely of breaking, of splintering the axis they had merely strengthened it.
He leaned back, opening the file, might as well complete work as usual.
"Well you
seem distracted,"
"Not now," growled the Grandmaster of the
Order of the Dragon.

Axis Empire, Asiatic States Union, India
The air warship hummed lifting off.
The duke of Kiev watched along with a host of other high ranking officials.
Goring looked on smugly.
"Orgel is functioning as expected," the Luftwaffe scientist stated.
The duke of Kiev glanced to the assembled Drachenorden and Dracaena retinue, one of the doctors nodded,
"What is
the status?"
"It is working," she stated, "But the SS and
Luftwaffe are still cutting corners using alien technology they do
not fully understand, they have not had any problems yet, however,"
she trailed off.
"We should keep monitoring the tests, but the ADORE can't be kept here much longer just in the event of any emergency that may not even happen."
"Tank You doctors, we will launch the SINEWs."

Helltanz's notes: Dun Dun Du-Dun, Dun Dun Du-Dun, Hitler is Dead, aren't we all happy?
To state the Allies will advance to try and catch up with the Axis who are trying to at least remain to where they can viably produce Drachen orden technology in the near future for themselves. As for the Allies; more specifically they will launch Prometheus earlier, mainly because their technology is more advanced, they might eventually build GDI style Ion cannons, or maybe USA Particle Cannons.
I was reading another story, not on this site, forget which one it was though, and had a scary thought, can you imagine Star Trek's Federation encountering this story's Earth circa two thousand ten, oh that would suck for the fed's, they down talk the anybody, Allies, Axis or the SAU, much less Arzachel's faction with in the Drachenorden, or the mainstay of the order of the Dragon.

Allies
"What did you say son of you asshole?" demands a particularly irate US ship commander after being insulted, and chastised by the Federation for massacring an Ori held world.
The forward magnetic enhanced VLS launch missiles.
Naquadriah missiles bitch slap resulting in Federation ship exploding.
-
Axis
"Your dare to insult the Empire?" growls an Axis admiral. "Forward Gungnir batteries fire!"
Federation shields are split in half by the Admiral's Valhalla class Battleship's anti matter batteries thus resulting in Federation ship exploding.
-
Well suffice to say the South African Union are… well you'll see, but suffice to say these guys like weapons of mass destruction a little to much to be sane but that's the kind of person we won't to fight the nut job, not to mention their canons while primitive, when compared to say the Allies or Axis, have kick ass munitions, as I have hinted to before.
There is also the fact the SAU are the least technologically advanced of the 'super powers'; mainly because of whom I based their tech base off of, the GLA, a little bit of NOD and other minor influences, and they are dedicated.
-
Arzachel yawns. "You impudent mongrels," the younger Asran stands up, "Father can scold me for this later," he grumbled incoherently "destroy that ship, leave no one alive" he waves his hand giving the order. The Asiel's Requiem beam cannons fire.
-
Or worse (debatable); Romulan Star Empire's Bird of Prey or a Dominion battleship versus a Drachenorden Behemoth Class.
Suffice to say by 2010 all sides will have some kind of space warship, and will be all united to some degree or another on exterminating the Ori before getting back to the people on earth they want to kill. Yeah the Federation will not like the Earth of this story.
"you are much to warlike"
Every one in the room glares at the federation representative, "We may all hate each others guts, but…"
"Remind us who has who outgunned?" drawled an Axis commander.

The Future: (besides Stargate differences borders will also differ in each future, as will magical-muggle relations)
Benevolent Future: The Nazi succeed however Hitler dies and is replaced by a less Master race leader Donitz will probably be the one succeeding Hitler in this one well
Five votes for
Moderate Future: Nazi's still in power, the Axis states are all allied together in a confederation (Grindelwald will likely be alive though also Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality, maybe late sixties he will be out of office by then, Hitler will be dead make no mistake, this is true for all timelines, in this one Donitz will succeed him as Chancellor of the Reich, he, Hitler, will be dead by the time we get back to the present, also the Russian Federation, well they won't be exactly the same after the fall of communism in the nineties)
Eleven votes for
Harsh Future the third Reich is victorious the culture Nazi Empire if this occurs will likely hold some similarities to the Dominion of Draka, it is likely rating will increase to M, the non M rated Harsh future will if written will feature all Axis states united in one large multi continental empire, meaning a tightly unified (Roosevelt will survive much longer than in reality, Hitler is succeeded after his death by a leader who wished to build the Third Reich into the greatest empire to ever exist, additionally the US will expand to encompass both American Continents) On the subject of the Nazi leader, no fucking idea, maybe Heinrich Himmler, but probably not
