-Location: Richmond, Virginian Territory

-Date: 2004, 21, March

-Time: 8:40 AM

Life is a tragedy..Especially for this General, He was walking down the streets of a urban area of the city...what used to be a peaceful community..was now turned into nothing more into dust..the same can be said about the rest of the city.

Gordon has seen much worse in he's time..from the times he saw the Japanese suicidal attacks, from the times he witnessed the atrocities the North Koreans did in the south, from the times of seeing a nuclear bomb hit Washington, D.C. from a distance, from the times he commanded an entire army that won them countless victories in Japan...to now him seeing the civilians that he suppose to protect now laying on the streets either shot, burned, or exploded...

The only thing Gordon could do was ignore it and hope it would be over..but he could still hear the distant gunfire..

One he knows for sure those gunfire's aren't targeted toward the enemy..

The General closed he's eyes and shook in head in disgust. He would've understand if this was enemy territory or they've gone mad from this war but no, they killed them due to the simple excuse that there was enemy soldiers within the civilian population and only about a quarter of the Cabinet approved of them to investigate them. And he would always have a taste of disgust when he sees or hears any mention of them..

The 11th division

Those bastards know only one of two things. One being that they are the most brutal division out there and when they are in battle, they do whatever is necessary in their eyes to win that said battle, which half the time result in civilian casualties but they shrug it off as 'Collateral damage' which always sicken him when he had to put some sense into them back in Japan..

The second is that..they simply don't care where they put the damage to, they don't care weather they are killing enemy soldiers or civilians who were not even part of the fight, or they straight up call a civilian and shoot them when they are casually walking by them.

Of course they all can't get away with it all, especially to the fact they burned Richmond to the ground, but he knew that not all of them would get the punishment that they deserve..

But that would also include him as well, he wasn't innocent by all means to certain people, he also committed many war crimes to many liberal minded people which he would casually ignore it but now, he can do nothing but think about it over and over again.

He kept recalling all of his military choices as General that he did in Cuba, In Japan, and in the civil war. In the previous two he felt that he's actions were necessary. But now in the civil war?

He felt that there were many different choices that he could've taken during each battle, some could've eased the bloodshed, some could've have a easier victory, or no shots fired.

But now he could't think of that forever. Gordon had to look forward to the future, sense now he had to promoted into a Major General by the request of many in the Military Cabinet but truth be told..he wanted to go away from the Military Life for a couple years..he just wanted to be away from the violence, and he especially knew that he would be most likely to sent to the British Isles to restore order there..

He doesn't know exactly what happened to the isles, but many of Generals and the Military Cabinet calls it "The British Devastation" As Millions are already dead in the British isles to one esoteric lunatic. Colin Jordan, He doesn't know what he exactly did but he does vaguely remember reading a newspaper once about him and how he was captured and he's execution was set to a later date.

But that was now realized to be a mistake when he escaped and was a leader of an pro english rebellion. and somehow won against all the other factions..

This led to many in the Cabinet to believe that the Fourth Reich was behind to their success in British Isles but the Reichstag and the recent new Fuhrer Hans Speidel have denied this as they had strictly had their fair share of problems as many "Reborn Nazis" including the previous Fuhrer Otto Remer tried to consolidate their power but failed within a coup by Speidel, But the Germans have noted that maybe Remer had something to do with it but it remains unclear..

But whatever the case, Gordon was still going to leave the military life for a couple years, put he's mind straight from all of the battles he witnessed and partook in. Some peace and quiet wouldn't do any harm now would it?

But those thoughts were immediately snapped out when he heard some footsteps coming toward he's direction, He turned around to reveal one of he's men, The soldier stopped and saluted at him and which he saluted back. "Major General, The city is now fully within our hands, victory is declared and the report is being sent to the Military Cabinet" the soldier said to him.

The general nods at him. "How many enemy combatants do we have under our custody?" he said now looking at him.

The General saw the soldier become very hesitation to speak up and to that he just sighed. "Let me guess, there are barley any of them" the soldier then nods and which the General just looks down in disappointment, he heard the report before they made their attack, it said there was over 400,000 Confederate soldiers and more than 1 million civilians in Richmond.

This made the General sick to he's stomach, yes there are many times in Japan where he had to do many decisions that led to absolute bloodshed. Those choices were different due to how vastly different the circumstances. But here? Many choices could have been made to avoid many deaths on multiple sides, but it now those choices have been done, and there was no going back now.

The general sigh "God damnit..tell the orders to search through the rubble, there is a most likely chance there are enemy combatants or civilians trapped in there, call the Fire Fighters if you have too".

The soldier salutes and then moves on leaving the General once again alone. The general sighs once more and goes to he's vehicle with the driver waiting for him "Where do you want to go General?"

The driver waited for a response and after a minute "Take me to the command post in the outskirts of Richmond please." To which the driver nodded and they soon drives their way to the command post.

-Location: Houston, Texan Territory

-Date: 2006, 21, March

-Time: 5:29 am

In the late night streets of Houston, one of many hunvees filled with 4 Military Police officers roam the streets as it was a curfew and it would be lifted soon at 6am but the driver of the hunvee was the only one awake as the rest were fasten asleep.

He continued to drive as he was constantly looking around the streets for anyone still awake after 10pm but luckily for today, the only thing he saw was other portals and some animals on the sidewalks

He did this for a while until he saw the time and it was 6am and he knew it was someone else's turn to the one in the seat beside him and hit some the roof of the Hunvee making the other three MPs to wake up.

"Arg..what the fuck man.." one of them groaned.

"Well it's one of you guys turn to drive" The driver said.

And then one of the MPs said "Alright yeah i'll drive.."

The two switch places and now he was in the backseat and with clear view of the weapons behind them. "You really have to be relax Richard" To which Richard rolled he's eyes.

"Well am slightly pissed that i was the only one awake during the last two hours " He said to the MP which he responded.

"Okay okay, I'll sleep much earlier next time, Happy?" To which Richard was highly skeptical about that but shrugged it off.

He just wanted to be done with this patrol and just go to he's apartment and rest for couple hours, as he is to be expected to be on another portal back in Reynosa in the North Eastern Territory in 10 hours as they got more MPs and they don't need to rely them from other territories.

But the mention of the city always brought a bad a incident that almost happened if not he was part of the army, but he just shrugs it off sense luckily he was there and that was the end of it.

But as always, the day was now beginning for an average civilian in the junta, people started to leave the building to either go for a walk, go to work or to simply buy supplies for their home.

It was the same thing for Richards as he looked out the window, which he was glad that a big majority of the Neo-Confederates and Texan Militas were either captured or dead which Houston was much safer than it was a year ago,

Although he can't exactly describe the status it was previously, all he can say that it wasn't a pretty sight at all, it was like the battle never ended as many remnants were still around and still causing damage around Houston, but now it was cleared from any threats and with the request of the Reformist faction of remove about 60 percent of the MPs to go to other major cities as it was clear the situation in Houston was now considered safe.

But even with that all of the MPs were still in high alert as something could happen at any time, but a majority of them were slacking off as some didn't think anything major was gonna happen.

-Location: Downtown Houston

-Time: 12:04pm

The streets of Houston were somewhat busy as people walked through the streets to continue with their daily lives, while there were many who opted to stay home for the time being due a number a reason, a majority found it safe enough to do their lives before the civil war happened and move on.

One man was simple taking a sip of coffee as he was a few walks away from he's work place and when he was crossing the street, a man then bumped into him and caused he's coffee to drop to the ground.

"Hey watch it asshole!" The man growled at the other man but the other simply put the middle finger and went off with its day.

The man wanted to get back at him but he had other things to worry about than a simple bump. So he kneels down to pick up he's cup until he noticed something. "What the..?"

He was looking down the street and saw..a piece of artifact or building that was transparent but was slowly being a solid, the man stood up and slowly approached it. When he got in front of the structure, mostly amazed and confused. Amazed on how the structure looks like, kinda like roman built and the other, confused on how this thing just appeared, it was like it was invisible and just slowly appear.

And with this, many people walking on the side walk saw the structure and went towards it with confusion. A small crowd was forming and it would've grown if not for a commanding voice.

"Hey! What the hell is going over there?!"

Some of the crowd turned back to see a Military Police Officer with black shades coming towards them with he's right hand on he's holster, he was about to say something else until he noticed the Roman structure.

"What the fuck..?" The MP muttered as he went toward the structure with the civilians clearing out the way so the MP would inspect it.

When the MP got infront of the structure, he was confused on how such a big structure was here and how it was there in the first place. He then touch the piller to see if it was made of concrete and sure it enough, it was. the MP then pulled out its Walkie Talkie from its holster.

"Central Command, We have a 10-33, a unknown structure has appear at Downtown, Houston. Requesting orders" The MP said to the radio, to which a response came in.

"Clear the street from any civilians within the area, we have now sent in a couple of MPs into your current location" Said the operator

The MP nodded to this order and said "Understood" And to this he put the Walkie Talkie in he's holster. He then turned back to the crowd. "Please leave the premise immediately! This street is closed until further notice!" He commanded to the crowd to which the civilians then went out of the street with a few constantly looking back as they felt something was off about it.

As the last of the civilians left the area, Three MPs and One Hunvee with no mounted gun on top came in to the street with them sealing off the street from any civilians.

One of the MPs went to the one in front of the structure that was looking at the seemingly endless dark void. "What's the matter? Why are you looking at it?" He asked he's fellow MP.

The MP responded with some uncertainty in he's voice. "I..I think i something.." he said to which the other MP was confused on what he said, but before he said anything. Something then came flying out of the Structure to which knocked the two MPs to the ground as it flew to the air.

This was a enough to alert then other MPs as they got a hold into their weapons, they were jaw strucken to find out it's a dragon flying through the sky, but before they ask anything.

They then saw figures coming out of the gate, this is when they pointed their weapons at the structure. And the sight was already enough to creep them out, creatures that looked like some forms of pigs or some animal like creatures appeared out of the structure followed by ancient looking normal human beings which in response the MPs readied their weapons and took off the safety.

The Roman looking soldiers saw their targets and one in a horse which looked slightly different than the rest, saw the MPs weapons and laughed as he rose up he's sword at them and to which the roman looking soldiers and creatures then began to charge at them.

"Shit! Open fucking fire!" Yelled one of the MPs as they open fired toward the charging crowd and despite each 3 bullets taking down the human romans, the creatures were a different story.

The first two MPs to go down were attacked by some pig looking creatures that were able to somewhat dodge their bullet fire and they made contact with them and the pig creatures stabbed them to part where it'll normal kill a person but to their surprise, the two MPs fought back and kill them but was then killed by the romans who closed the distance and stabbed them straight through the head with their spears.

With this realization, the one of the MPs called for one of them to retreat to activate the alarm while the rest fought to buy him some time, and they were quickly overran, but not without taking a bunch of the enemy with them.

When Colt Formal stepped into the new world with he's army that he personally chose for this expedition for the grand conquest for the empire, he hoped that it would be sight similar back home in Italica.

But so far, he hasn't seen a single thing that relates to he's home, to the roads, the building, and what appears to be milita men but very different as if they have dark magic or some other magical capabilities, and finally, the thing that he first felt something was very wrong. The sky.

The sky was a mixture of greyish clouds that seemed to be like that for thousands of centuries, and for whatever reason, it just seems that something is staring down at them, as if the empire has made a terrible mistake, as if the empire bite of more than it chew.

That's when he heard a very clear sound of heavy metal on a horse behind of him, and he knew very well on who it belonged to, General Herm Fule Maio, a viscount and a veteran against the bunnies, or what he claims to be a veteran.

General Herm and he's friends who are nothing more than body shields sense he boosted about it before they went through the gate, and this already put low expectations for Colt Formal as despite the Empire not having the most competent generals, at least some of them were focused on winning the battle.

But he saw taking deep breath and was about to speak until he started to cough violently to which it sounded like he was gonna puke.

But Herm was able to keep himself together. "By the gods! Did i just breathe in metal or something?!" General Herm angrily stated. "These savages will pay for making me breathe this in by my first visit!"

Colt Formal only shook he's head when he heard this outburst. He hasn't even looked at these people yet and now he's calling them savages just by how the air is? There was a mostly good chance that it never bothered them and probably lived with it sense the beginning of man.

And he'll admit that it tastes disgusting when he first breathe it in but it was too be expected that something was different beyond the Gate. And this was one of them.

But he looked back into the battle as the imperial soldiers charge into the city and do what a soldier from the imperial army usually do. To gain profit and personal glory. Something that Colt despise but can't say anything or else he would be deemed as a traitor to the Empire.

But as he looks at the raging battle. He could only hope for one thing. To be back in Italica and being with her daughters.

-Location: Greater Fifth Ward Area

-Time: 4:38pm

"For fucks sakes! How many of these bastards are there?!" Yelled a soldier right next to Richard as they kept firing their M4s at the invading army.

"It doesn't matter! Just keep firing until the line is ready to charge!" Richard states as he puts a bullet in the head of a pig like creature

The Military Police squad has been holding the line for the reinforcement can come get ready and retreat to the line to make a massive counter offensive against these invaders.

But a good thing to them was that the invaders were extremely easy to kill, even with their mutant freaks they were still easy to put down, and even when the romans got to melee range, they were pretty easy to dodge sense it's mostly predictable to where they are gonna swing their melee weapons.

But with a positive there was always a downside, they are running out of ammo than they anticipated, and then the other issue was these big ass creatures who just take too many bullets to take them down.

And the other issue was these humans with very pointy ears were able to momentarily put down many of the MPs due to their ridiculously good aim and those mutants were now becoming a pain in the ass for them.

But as Richard fired he's M4 it then suddenly click, to this he responded by immediately dropping the empty mag from he's Carbine Rifle and he then looks for a mag in he's Kevlar Vest and a then a green short juman with a fucked up face tried to jump him but was met with a Firefighter Axe to the side of its head dying immediately.

Richard then looks to he's side to see a Firefighter pulling its axe out of the creatures head and going back into position, to this he was relived that the Military Cabinet somewhat militarized the Fire Department, although he never liked the idea of militarizing the Fire Department. Situations like these show why it was needed.

He then puts the new fresh mag into the rifle and continued to lay waste into the charging army, but now he had to do bursts as he had to conserve he's bullets and the rest of the MPs started to do the same and now they were in their last 2 mags.

But as Richard was about to shoot he's next target, he then sees a vehicle from their previous position about 30 minutes ago, suddenly get launched at them by a gust of wind to which he and a bunch of others noticed and dodged but two of the MPs didn't get so lucky as they got rammed by the vehicle at immense speed.

Richard then gets up from the ground, at this point he's annoyed as he not only has to deal with Roman wannabes and fucked up animal creatures, what is he gonna deal with now?

He then looks in the distance and sees a women, and while she did look normal, her legs said a completely story as it was some bird like he believed? And her hair was also bird like.

But before he was gonna aim at the cause of that sudden wind. He's radio along with the others MPs radio started to crackle a message.

"This is the 18th Riot Division Commander speaking here, we have secured the line for the massive counteroffensive, any units inside of the line can either charge or stay in your current location. Glory to the Military Junta"

And with that the message was over, the MPs looked at each and without even saying a word they already decided on what they were gonna do.

They were gonna stand their ground until the line reaches them, and they most likely have an hour until the reinforcements reach them but they weren't gonna retreat now. Especially not after seeing them butcher their people and fellow soldiers.

-Location: Greater Third Ward Area

-Time: 4:48

The Imperial Army were able to advance deep within the city and they made good progress but the soldiers had to stopped and regroup with the reinforcements as whatever magic these savages were using, they were very effective against them and even the mages they brought could not figure out on how it works.

"What do you mean these weapons don't possess any magical capabilities?!" Said an outraged Herm.

The mage stumble back, afraid on what the would do. "Am sorry my lord, but i've examined the weapon and i can confirm that there is no magic coming out of this stick" The mage slowly stated.

Herm was ticked off by this statement, he was already mad that they have found nothing worth of profit as even the building imperial army has raided, they have yet to find any gold.

And to add another pain to him was that despite finding slaves for the empire, those slaves have proven to be more of pain than the bunnies. They constantly fight back and are able to kill he's men by simply punching them to which they had to kill at least 50% of them and when he demanded the nearby elves to put them to sleep, it turned out much more difficult as they got more violent causing further deaths.

So now he decided to not even attempt to capture any savages as they have been shown to be a deadly cost instead one of profit. He had hoped that their mages would figure out how their weapons worked as it seemed like dark magic. But hearing this only angered him. And he was gonna go ballistic until a messager barged in complete panic.

"My lord!" Said the messager "I have urgent news for you!" He said looking like he lost most of he's breathe coming here

Herm immediately stood up and looked at the messager "What is it? Is the savages attacking?!" Herm said angrily.

"No my lord" The messager quickly said. "The savages are up north but they are just..there.." The messager said in a bit of fear in he's voice.

"They are just. 'There?' What is that suppose to mean?!" He said angrily at the messager. He then pushes him aside as he orders two personal guards to follow him to see what nonsense this is.

As he was going up to where most of the imperial forces were facing, the more they get closer, the more afraid expressions they have in their faces, even the goblins and orgs have a similar expression. And when he arrived near at front, he saw the imperial soldiers shaking. When he was about to yell at them for being cowards, he then looks at front and he freezes to what he sees.

To what he sees is what he has usually seen so far, they were in a weird blue and blackish type of clothing. To which the only armor he can only presume is what covers their body but nothing protecting their head, arms and legs. And the only thing protecting them was their magical staffs or now, just rapid fire archers to an extent. Typical savage ways.

But he saw something new, but nothing that he would imagine to ever see, these soldiers wore complete armor protecting every part of their body, up to head to its feet. This wouldn't have bothered him if it wasn't for the fact that it didn't show a face. There was no way those savages could see through that.

But then something else dawned on him. what if they truly looked like this? What if their skin is complete armor?

But before he could think of anything. These men in grey then put in a formation and put out some weird shields that were in complete grey as well but with a little see through in them, they then pulled out a stick with something on top, he didn't understood what the extra detail was for the top of it until he saw them shake it and some form compacted lightning was formed on it.

This was enough to put him on edge as he never seen this type of sorcery before, and then that's when one of these grey men pulled out something and with a high voice it said something he could't understand.

"This is warning from the Military Junta of North America, surrender immediately and you shall be treated humanely as possible, failure to comply will result to your immediate extermination, this is your only warning"

Everyone from the imperial side covered their eyes, it was the loudest thing they have ever heard! But he could't understand a single thing they said, maybe if they spoke our wonderful language then maybe it wouldn't be so difficult.

"What..did it say?" Said a shocked Herm who still had its hand on eyes as he could still hear a ringing tone

The mage then slowly walk toward Herm "I believe it said..'To either surrender or to be exterminated..' My lord.." Said the mage

Herm only gave the mage a death glare until realizing that the mage was serious about the message. To this point he only laughed and many of the imperial army started to laugh along either in worried ness or by stubbornness.

"Surrender? Pah! We will never surrender to a bunch of savages! The empire hasn't lost a battle ever sense the fall of the bunnies! And we will never surrender to a bunch of savages!" Herm proudly stated as this somewhat put back moral into the imperial army.

-

The Riot Division Commander was not happy to what he was seeing, these barbarians think they could just go into their city and kill everyone they see fit? And they have the audacity to just laugh at them for a request that he himself considers to be light. If they want this then so be it.

"Jacob!" Said the Commander and to which one of the Riot Soldiers looked at him. "I think it's time to bring our soldiers back into action"

The Riot Soldier immediately saluted and then pulled out its walkie talkie and activated it so all of the walkie talkies can hear its message

-

Herm now finally stopped laughing and looked the men in grey armor and saw something odd, the one who sent that demand of surrender seemed to be talking to one of its soldiers, and that said soldier was holding..a small black box..?

But then suddenly, he then hears a weird noise coming from of the dead savages a few feet infront of him, he could't understand a single thing it said as it was going very fast, but it suddenly went away.

Herm annoyed by these sudden moves, almost order he's army to attack until, he heard screams inside of a building he told a couple elves to clear out as they saw a couple of savages going inside. He could't understand what was going on inside until he heard a window smash. He saw one high elf and two savages come crashing dow into the floor.

This got many of the imperial soldiers to back off away from the three as the elf was there in utter pain as he saw that she lost a ear, it's arms and bodywere bitten deep.

"P-Please...H-help me.." The elf said in a tone of fear and wanting to be rescued from the two savages, but before anyone could react, the two savages then went to her and..one immediately bite deep into on her neck that drew out a lot of blood while the other ripped off the elves arm.

This was enough to horrify Herm as he started to slowly walk back, and then suddenly. The dead savage then started to twitched violently and it slowly stood up and vomited out dark blood. It then looked up to the sky and screeched and it then looked at the them. and this is when he saw the supposedly dead savage. It's eyes were completely white and he felt that it was suddenly enraged.

That's when he started to noticed that the many savages that they have left in the battles started to twitched erratically at different times as some immediately stood up and attacked them while others took a while to come back.

This was enough to scare Herm as he immediately starts to run back to get on he's horse and ordered he's guards to go with him to escape or use them as meat shields. He didn't die from the bunnies only to be killed by demons. Not today.

When he got to he's horse and the personal guards do, he then sees he's personal mage coming to another horse to follow him. The mage then sees a demon savage comes toward the mage. The mage then lifts its staff and he casts a spell of wind to knock it back but to he's horror that it only stumbled back a couple a feet before continuing to chase the mage.

The mage desperately tries to place until spell a loud thunder sound was heard and Herm flitches as he saw the mage lose about one quarters of it head, then the demon savage then sees the mage is dead and then attacks the goblin next to him.

Herm was now fully convinced that this planet has demons inside of them, just waiting to be released to attack anyone unfortunate to stumble upon them.

"R-Retreat! Retreat back into the Gate!" Herm shouted. "This world is full of savages with inner demons! Retreat!" As he finished, they heard a loud chirp noise type coming from infront of them and to their horror the men in grey were now charging toward their position.

This was enough to make the imperial army to retreat in fear, they now realized that this battle was a lost and preferred to fight for glory than to die for nothing.

-

The Riot Davison Commander was there watching it all unfold. He watched as the reawaken soldiers cause havoc against these barbarians. And despite not liking using or awaking them early, but he will admit that they are very effective.

Returners, are fallens soldiers of the junta where after a while after they died, which could range up to a couple hours or a few weeks. They come back to 'life' and they come very similar to how a zombie works, but instead of being slow and sluggish. They become fast and determined to hunt down its target no matter the cost. And while they are not being the smartest tool in the shed. They'll still get the job done.

He watched he's fellow soldiers making short work out of the barbarians. He never thought he would be facing against barbaric romans. Though he welcomes the challenge in the battlefield, not in he's country cities or their cities.

He then felt something hit he's riot shield mask, he then sees that a arrow was knock of from he's metal mask, and without even looking where it came from, He simple pulls out he's M9 from he's holster, and fired single bullet to where he believed to where the archer was. And a few seconds later, a body came down from the building.

He then looked at the body and saw the pointy hears, he was now assuming that anyone with pointy ears is a archer sense that's what the soldiers has been reporting on, and they also reported that they have some powers, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.

He then puts a finger on where the arrow hit and was amused on how it made a slight tent on the armor

He then looks at the fight and he now sees that they won it, and now were all looking at him for orders. He then clears he's throat before making new orders.

"Soldiers!." The commander began. "These barbarians thought they would an easy victory for their inhumane needs, but now, we'll show them what happens when they invade the resting junta! If these bastards want to experience our suffering! Then so be it! Glory to the Military Junta! Hoorah!" The Riot Division Commander ended with a roar.

All the soldiers around the Commander started to chant "Glory to the Military Junta!" and when the commander pulled out it's electric baton and pointed infront of them, singling a charge, all of them complied and charged onward.

-Location: Greater Fifth War Area

-Time: 5:19pm

Richard was swung to the side of a Hunvee when that bird human hybrid with her wind powers, When he landed back to the ground, he was just completely annoyed more than scared, not only did these bastards come out of nowhere, but they somehow have abilities that manipulate the wind or some other bull fuckery.

He then turns around while laying in the ground in pain, but he knew that without the plutonium within them, it would've been much much worse pain for them.

He then looks infront of him and sees that hybrid bitch and two barbarians going toward he's direction. He looked around to see either some of the MPs wounded in the ground or completely dead on the ground, with a lot of them having missing limbs and such.

Then the three pair were finally infront of him and he saw the two soldiers and they saw what he saw what hundreds of them wear, they whore helmets, armor and shields. All of which are from the medieval era and where practically preformed poorly against their modern day weapons

then he looks up at the women bird hybrid and, he almost wishes that this hybrid wore clothes instead of showing too much skin, the clothes covering her was practically equivalent to hookers.

"Can..you at least put some clothes on?" Richard asked in a tired and annoyed tone. "I prefer to be killed by a women with clothes. Not by a fucking whore." He said.

The women now rose it's eyebrow signaling that she didn't understand him much to he's frustration. Which by showing him just groaning at them.

The women then looked at him confused. "Why aren't you begging for death?" She asked.

Richard only looked at her and he didn't even know what she even said, it sounded somewhere from the latin countries in Europe, but he could't figure out from which one.

Then that's when he saw one of he's fellow MPs one that is a distance away, starting to slowly start to twitch, he now realized that they were coming back, but he new it would take a while for them to fully come back. So at the meantime, he just has to buy some more time for them to fully reanimate.

"What?" He said loudly getting their attention.

The women looks directly to he's eyes and repeats the same question but in the language he could't understand.

"What?!" He said it much louder which he now sees that the three are becoming more and more irritated by him starting to yell.

When Richard begins to see the Returner standing up and he tries to yell again but to only to be stabbed in the chest, directly where the heart is suppose to be, by the hybrid lady, he doesn't know if it reached he's skin or not but he can't tell yet.

"Will you just shut up?!" The hybrid women yelled. "You are nothing more than a nuisance to the empire! All of you will face subjection! You wi- But before she can say anything else, a scream came from behind. She looks behind her and her eyes go wide once seeing one of the imperial soldiers getting eaten upon by one of the returner MP.

The returner then went and ripped the imperial soldiers head off and went to the other imperial who used its shield against only to yanked away from him as the returner threw it to the side and then the barbarian used it spear to attack and which it penetrated the returners heart but instead of going down, it kept going and it then biting off it's throat, causing the soldier to put both of its hands on he's now ripped off throat and then falls to the ground choking to death.

The returner then looks up at women hybrid and the she is completely afraid of what she was looking at, and to this he used the opportunity to go into he's holster and pulls out a he's taser.

He then aims at her right leg and fires the taser, launches two bolts to which it attaches to the leg. This confuses the hybrid women to which it tries to kick him with her left leg but was too late as he shocks her and to which her body shakes violently as the electricity goes through her body and she falls to the ground either dead or unconscious.

He then sees the returner going toward the hybrid women to most likely rip her apart. Richard could stop the returner, but after this confrontation, to hell with her.

But then a yell came from their left. "Hey! Don't touch that thing!'" Said a commanding voice. The returner looked to at the voice came from and it immediately saluted, it then revealed that it was Riot Soldier coming in with other RS's and MP's.

The group finally came in and began to sweep the area to clear out any remaining enemy targets. The one who said for the returner to stop came up to Richard to which Richard responded by saluting to him, to which the RS saluted back.

"Well." Began the RS. "judging by all of the bodies laying around, you used up all your ammo?"

Richard just sighed. "Yeah, pretty much. This piece of a whore just reflected the bullets away and had some kind of ability that controlled the winds."

The RD then looked at the women hybrid and kneeled down to check if she still had a pulse or not. He put he's Index and Middle finger on the hybrids neck and he felt a pulse.

"Got a pulse, shes still alive" The RD responded. He then sees Richard frowning when he said that. "Relax, it's not like she's gonna be treated like royalty"

"True I guess" Richard muttered, that's when the RD sees the condition he is.

"You need a medic?"

"Yeah, I think i do need one"

The RD then calls up a medic to which the medic brings in a stretcher. They put him on the stretcher and the medic begins to take him away to the nearest hospital.

As he's being taken away by the paramedics, he then looks up to the grey clouds, he sees multiple helicopters coming in and hears explosions on the distance, most likely hitting some grouped up targets. While that happens, thinks of where to go on when he's out of the hospital. But he already gave himself one answer.

"...Am probably gonna have to deal with these savages again aren't I?" He said to himself chuckling

-Location: Downtown Houston

-Time: 5:53pm

Colt had no words what he was seeing right in front of him, he never thought he would ever see. It was a dragon and two dragon riders laying on the ground dead. When a dragon and two of its riders are found dead, the most common cause of it is either it's attack by a group of enemy dragons or burned by a flame dragon.

Except, it looked like their skin was burned by something else, the two dragon riders faces were unrecognizable as parts of their faces showed bones. Even the dragon was burnt massively, has its wings and tail looked like it was melted, clearly showing that they weren't welcomed into this new world.

As Colt looked at the dead corpses, he then spots Herm coming to him, but he quickly notices that he looked incredibly troubled, as if he saw hardy herself. Herm then quickly got off from its horse and it's bodyguards follow suit. But before Colt could say a word, Herm grabs him by the shoulders.

"What are you still doing here?!" Shouted Herm. "Why haven't you told your men to retreat!"

"Retreat..?" Colt asked confused, and although he was planning on doing that, he was just confused on why Herm wants to. From what he heard, Herm would just use he's men as meat shields just so he can escape.

"Yes! We have to get out of these cursed lands! These savages are possessed by demons! Just waiting to die so they can show their true faces!" Yelled Herm

Before Colt was about to say a word, he realized that Herm was the one telling imperial soldiers to retreat back into the Gate. "So you now see this battle is now lost?" Ask Colt

But before Herm could say something, they both heard a shriek and scream of pain, both looked back and could see one of those other worlders attacking an imperial soldier, but instead of using their staff, the man ripped off the imperial arms off.

After the imperial soldier drops dead, the man then looks at them and Colt now finally sees what Herm said that they were demons. The man screeched at them and lunged itself at Herm directly but he then used he's own bodyguard as a shield and the thing attacked the guard ripping him into shreds.

Colt was in a complete state of shock he has never seen such a thing, of course this type of behavior would go to a ghoul or a infected. But they always had rotting skin or a big give away that their not human. But for this thing, it looked completely human, except for the sword stuck to it's head and wounds in other areas.

Colt then looked to see if Herm and it's goon were there but realized that they were gone, the bastards left him. But before he can react he then saw the thing attack him, Colt then grabbed both of its arms and began to hold it back, but the more and more the thing became determined to kill him.

As he begins to lose control of situation. He heard a yell coming from right and the thing looked over there and immediately got off Colt and salute to someone but he was confused on what that meant as he never seen someone do that.

Colt then looks to where the thing was looking and he immediately froze. He saw a figure in complete armor coming towards them. Colt couldn't see the persons face or anything. It was like the armor was the skin.

He then saw the armor finally stop right infront of him and then slightly turns around and ask something. To which the thing nods, The armored person then pulls out its staff and hits Colt in the head with it. As Colt lays down on the floor with its vision being blurry, he then hears something that he doesn't understand before he blacked out.

"We'll take him"

-Time: 6:39pm

The 18th Riot Division Commander was in front of the structure that caused this damage. He saw through the what seems to be a endless void but it's one where it leads to somewhere else.

"How long until the Field General gets here?" Ask the RD Commander

"Somewhere around 8:30 or 10:00 sir" Answered a MP

"Alright good" Said he finished.

He then looks away from the gate and sees he's troops and the MP's piling up the enemies dead bodies up together, the humans ones that is. Apparently the Military Cabinet wants to keep any of the creatures either alive or bodies on tact. Just so the NATAA,

National Aeronautics and Technological Advancement Administration, the newly formed agency, to study the bodies and see how their body functions and most likely send that data to the Brazilians.

Although the Commander didn't like the idea of sending their data to a country who were a bit chummy with the Dystopian Communists, they were forgiven when they both discovered the plutonium, and the Brazilians sending the Junta blueprints and weapon prototypes so they can be ready for a round two so they can finally get their revenge.

They decided to put them in HEMTTs as although it's designed to transport troops, they needed to find a way to transport the giant creatures and hammer like weapons they were too heavy for their other vehicles. And it was proven useful as they can also transport a lot of the deceased enemy.

As the RD commander stands there thinking on what else to do, he heard loud footsteps from behind and he turns around and sees a bunch of MP's running towards him, and he could see that they were ticked off by something, and he knew it would take a lot for a simple MP to get this pissed.

One of them went to him and immediately spoke. "Sir, we have reason to believe that these savages took our people and most likely planing to use them for slaves"

The RD commander stopped himself and took that in. "They are what?" He asked as angry started to boil within him. "Do you have any proof?"

"Yes sir, one of our civilians woke up and he claimed he that they took our people through the gate, they were boosting about it" Said another MP angrily.

Now with the RD commander sinking all that in, he was enraged at best, not only we're they get attacked by Roman like soldiers with some kind of mutant like creatures. But they have a slavery system, a disgusting inhumane system.

He then immediately pulled out he's walkie talkie and gave out an order to go inside the structure, Within seconds, every single MP and RS in the area got into position into charging into the gate, the only thing they were waiting for was the RD commander to give the order to charge in, and while the commander was not a general, he was the highest authority at the time.

The Commander looked at the structure one last time until making he's final decision, he pulls out he's baton and rises up in the air. "Let's make these barbarians pay! Hoorah!" And with that all of the soldiers raised their weapons up and charged into the dark void.

-Location: Alnus Hill

-Time: 7:03pm

"What do you mean you brought those savages over here?!" Yelled an outraged Herm at a imperial soldier.

The imperial stepped back confused. "Y-You said you wanted to bring those peasants over for slavery! "Explained the soldier. "We gained nothing at that blasted world general! I thought this is what you wanted."

Herm was there just frozen, he's mind already traumatized from what he saw in that world, but hearing he's own soldiers telling they brought over those possessed savages over, made he's heart sink.

"We have to kill them." Stated Herm coldly. "We have to kill them before they turn!" He saw that many of the soldiers were confused by this as they never saw any of these so called demons.

"General! You are clearly stressed! You need t-" But before the soldier could finish, Herm pushed the soldier out of the way and continued his way out of he's tent to look for those savages.

As he walked through the camp, he then walked past the gate, he then looks at it just thinking on what do with the Gate. When he first heard about the Gate, he saw all of the possibilities for the riches and respect that he needed, and possibly show that joke of a order of Roses where their place is under Zorzal.

But now all he wishes that this Gate will close itself, as he now sees this a threat for not only for the Empire, but for Falmart itself.

As he turns away from that Gate, he starts to hear a faint sound of heavy footsteps, he looked around to see if there was anyone running somewhere but he could't see anyone running within the camp but then it dawn on him.

He then looked at the Gate and he felt as if the footsteps were getting faster, and heavier. He then goes wide eyed as he realized that the enemy was quick than they have ever thought before, counter attacks take months of planning and moral to carry out, but to the other worlders. It only took them hours. No, under just an hour.

"Raise the alarm!" Herm yelled. "It's the enemy! They are here! Get into position!" He said in a very desperate tone as he begins to back away from the gate.

The camp went into full alert upon hearing that the enemy was already ready to attack, catching everyone off guard. As they got into position into surrounding the Gate,

As they got into surrounding the Gate, they heard a chant, but instead one of random yelling, it was one in unison and they all heard it, and it was getting louder and louder, at this point many started to shake in fear as it was loud. But then that's the first figures appeared from the Gate as they charged outward. A Goblin went forward a tried to attack the one at front who was armored with all grey. But instead it was met with a staff to its face and was immediately blasted its head off.

The grey figure then raised up its weapon as it yelled something that Herm would hear for the rest of its life when dealing with them.

"Glory To The Military Junta!"
