Reboot: Gate: The Dimensional Campaign 2026 - 2034
Chapter 1: Hold the Line! Recon Unit 3 Formed
"And so this is how a war starts, huh? Doesn't seem so exciting or anything." A soldier commented as he read through his newspaper on current subjects in his guard post by the current and temporary perimeter.
"Eh, don't question jack about it. We're only a few days old in this guard post and this shit won't be standing here any more than a few more days, when we get a new checkpoint by the wall." Another soldier shrugged as he polished his rifle.
"Yeah, you got a point." The former sighed as he took a handkerchief out of his pocket before rubbing his nose with it. "Man, this flu is getting really annoying..."
"You tell me that when you sneezed a few times at my face..." The latter scowled at the former as he wiped his face from excess sweat from the heat of the day.
"But doesn't it seem strange to you?"
"Huh?"
"That the so-called Empire just sent us bunch of under-trained soldiers that we captured and squeezed information out of every single one of them, doesn't that seem strange to you?"
"For me? Nah, they're Romans...or maybe lesser Romans with brain dead symptoms, y'know?"
"Ahhh, makes sense." The soldier responded as the two waited for further instructions from the Higher-Ups.
"Kinda boring here without anything much to do honestly..."
"Wanna play chess?"
"You bring the board?"
"Nope."
"Do we have Wi-Fi here?"
"Not yet."
"Well shit..."
"Wanna have some tea?"
"Maybe."
1034 Hours
Five Hours after the Destruction of the Imperial Army
Seven Days after the occupation of Alnus Hill
"We got...around five thousand men dead and twelve survivors." An American soldier reported to his commanding officer, who looked unamused at the report.
"I believe that we should call for more night patrols, are the airways for the A-10 Thunderbolts finished?" The officer questioned as the soldier blinked at his question.
"Ummm, I believe they have finished it for around five hours ago…" The soldier nervously answered as he took his eyes off his officer before scratching the back of his head.
"Then prepare an A-10, we're going to be getting hit back harder than before." The officer ordered with a serious tone.
Imperial Army
"We're losing numbers, General! All the legions that were sent into the Gates are all either dead or missing limbs!" A Commander of the Imperial Army yelled as he faced upon his General. Men were being treated outside, their wounds were either holes, pierced limbs or limbs detached from their spots.
"That doesn't matter, Commander. For we have received seven legions from the vessel kingdoms and major cities. Those barbarians will never stand a chance this time." The General grinned cockily as the Commander, who has sided with the Imperial Army for his whole lifetime never felt more pathetic. He was disgusted by what they were doing. Sending men to die in vain. He never realized it up till now. They were going to lose more than men, they were about to lose their kingdom to this...this...Nation of Power. He never felt more weak and tiny when he saw his own men torn apart into bits of meat and bits of messes.
Knowing he can't even do anything to change his General's mind, he got his helmet before he put it on and left the tent. Men began to line up to go up against the foreign army of strange creatures and men with strange magic. He felt sorry for them. They would know how outmatched they are with the enemy forces.
They'll be learning that the hard way…
Alnus Hill - Codename: Alnus Fortress, Central Branch[Command Branch]
"Alright, load em up for transport to the eastern section to be re-educated and confined." The soldier ordered as the truck loaded with prisoners began to move towards the eastern branch of Alnus Fortress.
The Alnus Fortress began to look more solid. The first perimeter wall that was five metres tall with a few sections for watch guards, the wall was given AA guns, extending for about fifty kilometers, made of hardened steel beams covered in concrete and metal platings placed on the wall. A gate was given for the wall to close the access for ground enemy units to breach through and reach the five Gates.
The second perimeter wall was a perimeter that was further away from the first perimeter wall with about five kilometers to cover that was made of Hesco Bastion, which were filled with the soil and the Hasco Bastion was now strengthened with a titanium wire mesh and thicker fabric liner than the heavy duty fabric liner.
Machine Gun were placed by the sections of the short wall, soldiers were currently occupied with carrying ammunitions, patrolling or caring for their vehicles. Behind the first perimeter however were the storage houses, ammunition storages, barracks, airways and hangars.
M1A2 Abrams, M1A3 Abrams, M6 Eisenhowers, Challenger II LEPs, Challenger III LIPs, AMX Leclerc, Leopard 2A6s, Leopard 2A7s, Leopard 2A8Ss, Leopard 3s, T-90s, T-80s, T-14s, T-72s, T-96s, Type 74s, Type 90s, Type 10s, Merkava Mark IVs, UT-HT Avengers, UT-MT Rulers and UT-TD Destroyers began to move towards the Hesco Bastion line before stopping. Creating the perimeter as IFVs and APCs were placed behind them.
To be honest the UGAMEDF tanks were not mere import tanks. No, their hull and turret were different. The hull of the UT-MT Ruler was angled in a 50 degree angle, the turret was rounded, but not too rounded, since it had its distinct rectangular frontal shape, its cannon was different than others. It was a 140mm Smoothbore UF-109 Type D Cannon made by the UGAMEDF's Weapon Facility. The co-axial gun was a .52 cal machine gun, based on the .50 cal M2 Brownings, but having more firepower, the cupola was quite flat and not too revealing, it was given a .50 cal M2 Brownings. The total height of the tank itself was merely 2.5 meters and its total length was 8 meters, a compact tank to be exact. Given an enhanced Gun Laying Drive, an Autoloader, an engine with 1700 Horsepower and a weight of merely thirty five tons was quite much impressive.
The UT-HT Avenger on the other hand, was a lot different, it had a tad more taller profile than the M1 Abrams, having a slightly angled turret and a 152mm Smoothbore UF-120 Type H Heavy-Duty Cannon as a main armament. The secondary was a 15mm autocannon that was manually loaded, the 152mm cannon was given an autoloader, so that it doesn't require a Loader to load the shells. The hull was different, it had a very sharply angled upper hull that was supposed to absorb shells when it goes hull down like in World of Tanks the Game, but to be honest that just gives it an impression that it's lower hull is thin. It is not. It is equally as thick as the turret armor. The co-axial gun was the service standard .52 cal machine gun of the UGAMEDF arsenal.
The last was the UT-TD Destroyer, the heaviest gun of the arsenal. Like other TDs, it was prone to artillery, thus why it has its own Anti-Artillery Shell mechanism, allowing it to destroy incoming Artillery Shells with its system-controlled 30mm UF-76 Counter-Artillery Autocannon system. It is unmanned, using a more modern tech to actually track down the signatures of the Artillery Shells and fire without any hesitations, but if there were a soldier in front of it, it would give out the caution alarm before firing. The TD was given a massive 180mm Smoothbore UF-142 Type F Cannon, manually loaded, since the Autoloading mechanism wouldn't fit inside the tank itself. The turret is allowed to move freely, not being limited by its engine, since its own hull is really leveled out by the need of storing more ammunition. The secondary armament was its remote-controlled 20mm UF-12 Autocannon. The turret and hull are protected equally, causing it to be the most armored in the UGAMEDF's arsenal.
Soldiers came out of the vehicles as most of the light trucks, heavy trucks and mobility vehicles were placed in rows by the first perimeter wall. Military tents were used as temporary Command buildings. "Second Perimeter has been set, General. Recon Unit Deployments are halted until the Imperials are pushed back or slaughtered like lambs." A Japanese Colonel saluted to General Hazama, who nodded in approval.
"Good, gentlemen, I believe a patrol party or two should be arranged." Hazama offered to the other country's Generals, who nodded in agreement.
"I believe a Predator UAV would suffice, but considering the situation of possibly using a manned patrol party, I believe using them might help us discover more information about the land, the soil, their possible numbers without them seeing our drone. We should save the drone for another day." The American General with the nametag of 'Lieutenant General David Miles', who had golden blonde hair, skin that was not as near as pale, but neither tanned, but closer to a yellowish fair wrinkled skin and a pair of blue aqua eyes.
"Ja, General, I agree withz you, we shouldn't be revealing too much of our cardz." A German-accented General agreed with a nod, the man with a name tag of 'Generaloberst Adalbert Wilcke', having pale skin, a pair of palish blue eyes and brown hair mixed with golden accents as the hair came down their edges with a thin beard and some noticeable wrinkles on his face.
"Da, komrad General, I believe it's better for us to save that piece of equipment for another day." A Russian man sat with his eyes closed, his nametag consisting of the name 'Генера́л-полко́вник(Colonel General) Ivan Pokryshkin', having pale skin with blue-grey eyes, pale blonde hair with a beard that was colored in his hair.
"Hmmm, that sounds reasonable to me, Generals. I believe we have an agreement." A British nobleman nodded in agreement, his old wrinkled face caused him to have a more mature, wise and a lot more tactical aura around him. His nametag having the name of 'General Luke Bishop', having golden blonde hair with brown-golden eyes, pale skin and a fairly thin mustache under his nose and a thin beard as if he shaved it yesterday.
"Bien, I agree with the statement, Messieurs." A French man with brown eyes, brown hair and pale skin nodded. His nametag having the name 'Général de Brigade(Brigadier General) Acel Lemare'. "Although we could just crush them with our artillery."
"Nej, we'll be revealing our capabilities too freely. Any survivors would report this to their higher-ups and will cause them to be more aware of us. We should only rely on what we have shown, our Tankars(Tanks), Skjutvapens(Firearms) och Helikoptrar(And Helicopters)." A Swedish General shook the idea away. His nametag having the name and rank 'Generalmajor Hugo Gustaf von Solna', he had light beige hair, brownish light eyes and pale skin.
"I agree with Hugo, we'll have to limit our use of technology for now. Explosions from nowhere would be something that will alarm their leaders." A woman within the Generals nodded. Her nametag having the name 'Lieutenant General Georgette F. Beurling', her hair was colored in a really greyish-brown color with deep blue eyes and palish yellow skin.
"Then it's decided. Make up a Patrol Duty Squad and have patrol around." General Hazama concluded as the other Generals agreed at said conclusion. Hazama ushered a soldier towards him before ordering. "We will begin Patrol Duty by the few hours, have the word out."
"Sir, yes sir!" The man quickly exited the tent and went to the Main Objective Tasks Tent to pin down the Patrol Duty task.
By the Ammunition Storage
"So, we're also getting the Flamethrowers?" An American asked as he looked at the metallic piece of equipment with a pair of gas tanks. "I don't see where they're useful to be honest." The soldier blinked as he rubbed his cloth on its barrel.
"They're going to be deployed in forest areas and to clear out outposts." His higher-up shrugged as he smoked a cigarette stick. "And they were modernized as well, so an advantage point for us."
"Uhhhm, so they're like the infantry clearer of sorts?" The soldier asked before his higher-up clicked his tongue.
"Bingo. They reach places where tanks and fighters can't get, like caves. We'll be deployed to do just that apparently." The man grinned as he tapped his cigarette, removing the excess ashes on its tip.
"Oh, I heard that we're going to be having duties among the unknown area for enemy campsites. Is it true, sir?"
"Definitely, we don't want to have an unprepared defense system if they suddenly come out of nowhere." The soldier just nodded in response. "And we're apparently joining a Recon Force, private. So, by the time we are deployed, I want every piece of equipment we need to be inside the truck, you got that?"
"Yes sir!"
"Atta boy! Now, help me haul these .50 cal MGs on to the perimeter. We don't want to be missing some .50 cals to gun them down into submission." The higher-up laughed as the soldier complied and got one of the heavy-duty machine gun by his hands before the two men began hauling it to the perimeter.
2 Days Later
1823 Hours
"This is quite the time." A soldier stated as night began to fall across the Fortress of the UN. He looked through his night vision binoculars before spotting large numbers of enemy units in a pretty strung up and knitted together formation. Artillery could easily tear them apart. "I want every single tank to load HEI(High Explosive Incendiary) and fire in my command."
"Roger, Alpha Lead 1." Came in his answers as the American M1 series began to load HE before all of them slammed the shells and closed the gun rammers. "HEI loaded."
"Steady. I want every tank to find theirselves a batch of enemy units and fire one by one. To reserve ammo and time. All copy?"
"Copy that, Alpha Lead 1. Ready to fire at your command."
"Good, fire!" A tank fired its first round as the shell flew dead straight towards a formation and exploded slightly in the middle of the formation before fire spread across the enemy and lit them all on fire, partially, since most were dead or luckily evaded the falling fire. "Fire flares!"
Men quickly lifted their flare guns before firing a ball of red light into the night sky. The red light revealed all of their positions before infantry acted right after the revelation. "Open fire!"
Continuous streams of bullets flew as .50 cal machine guns that were mounted by the temporary perimeter lit up and began to eat their bullet belt, spitting fire as a response.
Tanks continued firing in a rapid succession as ZSU-23-4 with other SPAAGs began to fire upon the sneaky dragoons that were trying to sneak their way through the sky unnoticed.
"This is Alpha Lead 2. Requesting Hailfire type Missile upon the dragoon squads." Another Commander, but Russian requested.
"Copy, Alpha Lead 2. Firing Hailfire...now." A small missile from a CVR(T) IFV's cannon was launched out into the sky at a bunched up dragoon squad before exploding merely before contact, the missile released a spray of shrapnel as pieces of fragments tear through the dragoons and sent them back to the ground. The Russian Quad-Cannon SPAAG and Twin-Cannon British, German, Swedish, Japanese and Italian SPAAG continued to fire as fixed-AA Guns from the ground began to pepper the dragoons into bits of gore.
"Warthog, skies are cleared, you are to proceed with launching." A Control Tower informed as a familiar American Gulf-War War Machine began to taxi to the airstrip.
"This is Warthog. Roger that, took some time to make these bad boys, huh?"
"Sure did, Warthog. Now spray them with freedom and justice."
"Hehe, roger that, Tower All. Over and out." The infamous Attack Aircraft, the A-10 Thunderbolt II began to launch off the airstrip before taking off. The Attack Aircraft re-routed as it turned towards the invaders. "Warthog here, coming in for a strafing run. Be advised, over and out." Soldiers roared in delight as the A-10 released its breath of continuous streams of 30mm HEI rounds.
The invaders widened their eyes and gaped their mouth in awe before they realized what was heading towards them and ran the other way they were supposed to go. The Mechanical Dragon of Doom sprayed its fiery and deadly breath of lead upon them. Men were pinned down with massive holes on their backs. The GAU-8 Avenger autocannon didn't hold back as ammo began to eat its feed and continued to spray its breath before pulling up.
"Warthog here. Finish them off, boys, over and out." Continuous .50 cal rounds began to mow and chow down the demoralized ranks of invaders.
"I can see enemies closing distance with horses!" Another soldier chimed in, informing his Commander that was in command of him and his unit.
"Let them! Ready the Flamethrowers!" Another Commander ordered as horse riders began to run towards the perimeter before flamethrowers readied themselves.
"All Gunners! Stand down! Flamethrower!" A flamethrower quickly got up before blowing flames into the riders, setting any of them in range on fire. "Hell's yes, baby! BURN!" The flamethrower yelled as he relentlessly set foot soldiers that came near the perimeter on fire. "This is getting way out of hand to be honest, guys."
"YOU DON'T SAY!" Was his response from his fellow comrades as they got out of their cover and sprayed constant, but steady fire upon enemy footmen.
"Kilo-Alpha 3-1. Do you copy?"
"Yeah, I copy, Romanoff."
"We're sending Berkuts to handle the number of footmen, time to clean this whole mess. Be advised to not let any SPAAG shoot down our bombers." The Russian radio operator reported before signing off. "Over and out."
"Unarm all SPAAGs! We got bombers in route!" The soldier yelled as whistling sounds of the jet-powered Tu-160 was heard. Five of them to be exact. "For the UN!"
"OORAH!" All of the soldiers cheered as bombs were dropped before the men. Explosions occurred, blood has been shed and men had been slaughtered. It wasn't a battle, it was a slaughter for the UN. A curbstomp for the enemy. A reminder.
They are no longer in charge
"I want all Artillery Batteries to be positioned by the first perimeter wall. I want tanks to be in rows. All Medical Vehicles! I want every one of them to take the wounded soldiers! I want people to identify who the hell these people in fancy armor are!" A Commander barked his orders as soldiers began hauling dead corpses of dragoons to a pile.
"Over fifty thousand men, sir. This is nothing like we've expected." A soldier briefed his report to his Commanding Generals. "The soldiers have a different set of armor, we're expecting the answers to be different locations having different appearances, but we're not completely sure about that theory."
"I want every piece of intel we can gather from these people to be put in a report. I want every piece of information on who the hell they are. Where they're from and what they want from us." Hazama ordered as the soldier saluted in response.
"Sir yes sir! Right away!"
Hazama sighed as the soldier quickly ran to gather intel before taking note of the surrounding environment. Lands were decorated in mushy gore and flowing blood. Corpses of men burnt and gunned down till heaven comes.
"Sir, you might want to see this." Another soldier grabbed Hazama's attention before handing him a report clip, the General merely grabbed it. Reading it, he widened his eyes.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Imperials are plundering their own villages. Predators have been deployed for a quick recon and found these. Sir, the Higher-Ups have given another order to us. We're no longer in a mere fighting campaign, it's a campaign to save all these people." The General nodded in agreement before pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Gather the Recon Units, we're doubling their capacity. I want at least two tanks in each Unit with APCs and trucks to return innocents."
"Sir, yes sir!"
These Saderans will pay. And the costs are very high.
"We shall set refugee camps by this area. We have more land in the first perimeter and second. The third will be living quarters for refugees and the supposed town. Then we will start building a massive wall at about ten kilometers from the Gates to house every Quick Response Units and military units."
"I have approval from the US Armed Forces that a pair of AC-130X Aegis. Aegis Blade and Aegis Bow. The Prototypes of New Tank Destroyers and Tank types from the British Armed Forces, Russian Armed Forces and Bundeswehr are to be finished by a few more months and they are designed to take on the terrain and heavier enemy units. Light for spotting long range, medium for cruising, heavy for supporting roles and tank destroyer for handling dragons that are bigger from before." General David reported.
"And won't most of them take a while to make?" General Ivan asked with a frown.
"They are more like modernized tanks from the Cold Wars and from storage. Do expect some massive firepower from the British, German and Russian. They're packing tanks with a lot more firepower." David grinned as the Russian acknowledged it with a laugh.
"K2s are expected to be turned into K2 REP. Railgun Equipment Program." A Korean General chimed in.
"Well then, there are more good news from the UGAMEDF. More Tanks and APCs are being transported here next morning." An Indonesian General added in.
"But for now, Mortars have been set. Tanks are in position. APCs are stationed. IFVs are ready for combat and the Recon Units are waiting for orders." Hazama said coolly with his eyes closed. "Should we send them out now?"
"That would be for the best. We have assigned soldiers to squads to free slaves. We call their units 'Liberator'. Five of them. Armed to the teeth and a translator that is fluent in communicating with them."
"Good. And the scouting runs by our Tomcats?" David asked as Hazama gave out the report that he received from the soldier from before.
"Devastating news, we should act swiftly. From the reports here, these people are nothing, but savages. We need to act. We should claim land, take care of civilians, gain their trust and then convince them to let go of the Empire and join our side." The Generals slowly whispered amongst themselves before Ivan sighed.
"I'd say I agree with that method. Bloodshed is never the answer to some questions, the Empire, however...is a different story. I'm with you, Hazama." Ivan nodded in conviction before David banged his hand on the table.
"I knew that it would come around to this thing, let's hope that this is the right thing for us to do." David got out a stern look. "And if it doesn't, you know what will happen. No obstacles when we're dealing with the Empire. America wishes to have its people and justice. If those are held back by those villagers, I'm not afraid to call an airstrike upon them."
"I understand." Hazama nodded as the American General was merely following orders to return their people and want their justice to follow upon their return. "Any objections?" A General from the Malaysian Forces raised his hand.
"What'll we do with the supplies? You know how limited we are with our MRE supplies and our supply transport only comes around a few days." He voiced out as he stood up and stared at Hazama by the eyes.
"We'll have to make do with livestocks from around here." Hazama sighed as the Malaysian nodded before sitting back down. "Any others?" The room went silent before Hazama clapped his hand. "Then that's the end for our meeting."
"Liam?" Shino walked up to the male brunette, who was busy caring for his rifle.
"Yeah?" Liam merely poked his eyes out towards her, Shino blinked before shaking her awkward feeling off.
"We're going to our Unit. Now." She stated, the male sighed at her before getting up.
"Alright...Right now, though? Really?"
"I'm not disobeying orders." Shino shrugged. "If you want to, you can just be by the back until further notice."
"Mhm…" Liam sighed. "Fuck this. C'mon, we're suiting up."
"Finally!" Shino yelled before following him through the corridor. "You know, I've been wondering how you'd be fighting with that new equipment."
"It's a prototype. Don't expect too much." Liam replied before the two walked towards their Unit.
An M1A2 Abrams SEPV2, a Leopard 2A8S and a Challenger III stood outside the Unit with an Australian ASLAV, a Mitsubishi Type 89, an American Stryker, a T-15 Heavy IFV, a pair of HMMWVs, a KMW Grizzly, a French VAB VTT with a pair of Mastiff Ridgeback Wolfhounds and a Type 16 Wheeled Tank Destroyer.
There were a total of sixty-two men in the Unit. All of them having different uniforms. Ten looked like they were from the British Army, thirteen were from the US Army, eleven were from the JSDF, seven were from the Russian Army, eight were from the German Bundeswehr, eight were from the French Army and five were from the Australian Army.
"Is this everyone?" A black haired man with a tan skin tone asked, an older veteran from the JSDF nodded, having a darker skin tone and wrinkles on his face. "Alright then, I'm First Lieutenant Itami Youji from the JSDF. Hopefully we can all get along just fine."
"This is really overkill in my records." Kuribayashi whispered to her male senior.
"Looking at the tanks, I can understand them. But a Type 16...I truly think the Generals are going for overkill." Liam commented. "This kinda reminds me of a scene from an anime…"
"Hnngg...enough of your otaku side, Liam." Shino grumbled with an annoyed look.
"Sorry, just got into the moment." Liam chuckled nervously.
"And the man, who's Second in Command is old man, Kuwahara." Itami gestured towards the older veteran. "Ummm, any questions?"
Silence filled the group as Itami looked around. "I'll...take that as a no. I guess we're moving out now?"
"All men get to your vehicles! We're moving out!" Kuwahara yelled as each of the soldiers saluted before they quickly scrambled into their own vehicles.
"Alright, so this shit...I'm not sure if I'm reading this right." Liam grunted as he turned the map to try and figure out which position was the right one.
"Yeah, I think that's why they added the NESW sign." Shino pointed out blankly as the man then noticed the eight pointed star.
"...Well, I never read that shit." Liam blinked before he looked at the map. The Unit was currently going through the dirt road towards the gate of Alnus Fortress. The three tanks following behind the unit as they then stopped before the Commanding Vehicle spoke to the 'Gate Guardian' before they were let through.
"We're going to establish...friendly contact and make connections with several local villages. I think that's the best way to get the Empire broke." Liam commented as the driver, who was similar to him, but having darker brown hair and a pair of sunglasses snorted before he smacked the man by the head. "Ite, Lian, what's that for!?"
"Idiot…" The man rolled his eyes behind his glasses.
"Fine fine, so our first destination is...Coda village? Koda...Code...Cod village?"
"Co-Da, you say it with a K, but write it with a C. Got it?" Shino asked with an annoyed look.
"Pretty much. Say, Shino-chan, do you think the Gods of this world can access our world by the Gate?"
"Gods?"
"You know the Great one, the one with the hammer, the one with the spear, the one with the lightning bolt kind of people?"
"You mean the Gods? Fuck me if that happens." Shino grumbled.
Meanwhile in our Universe
"So, these...Gates...opened up…" A voice spoke up as a man in a very traditional outfit with a pair of white wings nodded. "And started killing for no reason, you say?"
"Yes, father. The humans, however had prevailed and destroyed their forces. Fascinating to see that their Organization of Nations had reached out to lend a hand to the victimed nations of these...beasts."
"Interesting...but the humans have come a long way from the time they started wars."
"Father, do you think we should assist them?"
"For now, let them be."
"But what of the others, Father? They don't follow your orders or your suggestions. Most of the time."
"It's their own form of justice. Their worshippers have been killed in cold blood, they'll do as they wish to punish those who killed their people."
"...Understood, Father. I shall...inform the other angels of this."
"Please do, Gabriel. We do not need any more of these rumors of us preparing for war."
"As you wish, Father." The angel then flew off as the man sighed.
"My children, I believe those who have killed your fellow kind, should be forgiven, but the ringleader should not. Do not fall as low as them. I wish that I could talk with you...but I'm afraid as the Creator of all, I can not favor just one of my creations and ignore others." The man gave out a sad voice.
"I get the feeling that this isn't going to end well either…" Shino massaged her temple as they reached the village. Some of them sat in their vehicles to not scare off the villagers.
Tanks were in ready position to respond to any emergencies. "And what makes you say that?" Liam asked as he cocked his GX-05 Cerberus.
"You bringing the G3-X Prototype Suit is the first thing." Shino muttered in annoyance.
"Second?"
"You bringing a case of gummy cola is the second thing." Liam turned to Shino with a tilted head before he took out a giant gummy cola out of the case that he brought. He bit a piece of the gummy before he gave out a look of satisfaction.
"It's good." Liam gave out a look of annoyance. "I don't get what you mean by that."
"Hey, Lee. Pass some around." An older man with black hair and pale skin, his eyes colored in silver.
"Yeah yeah." Liam took out another gummy cola before throwing it towards the man. "Still enjoying Japanese products?"
"Nope."
"Oh fuck you." Liam grumbled before taking another bite off his gummy cola. "The only good things come from the online shop."
"Vat19?"
"Yeah, that's the one." Liam nodded. "That's the only online shop I can trust."
"Well-"
"This is Itami, I need assistance with communication. Seriously, how can Latin be this hard?" The radio turned on before Liam sighed.
"Hold that for a moment." Liam quickly reached for the radio before he turned it on. "This is Liam, roger that, Lieutenant. Heading out, over and out." He quickly got out of the vehicle before he walked towards the village.
General David was walking towards the office of the officer, who was in charge of the inventory and supply of the UN, he knocked on the door before he went in.
"Oh, General David. Can I help you?"
"Yes, you can, Sergeant. Can I have a list of aircrafts we have in stock?" General David asked as a soldier blinked at him.
"Ummm, hold that thought, sir." He quickly searched through the pile of lists before he ended up with a list. "Here you go, sir."
The man kindly took the list before he began to read their entire inventory.

Etc.
Checking the whole list, the General couldn't find any of the UGAMEDF's arsenal. Just before he got a chance to talk however.
"The UGAMEDF didn't give their arsenal to us, if you're wondering about that." The officer interrupted the man.
"I...see...thank you." The General nodded before he exited the room. He sighed to himself as he walked towards his office.
"So, how has the Empire treated you?" Liam asked in latin as the village elder, who was a man in his sixties with wrinkles and greyish white hair sighed.
"The Empire didn't really care about us, so we have to treat ourselves without any supply from them. And people rarely come here to visit, only relatives would be coming around, but the time spent would be really costly."
"I...see…thank you for your time." Liam turned away before he walked towards his superior officer, who was sighing to himself. "Eh, much or less. The Empire doesn't really treat their people that nicely or anything."
"Well, that's not gonna do." Itami sighed before he looked around. "Is there anything we could do?"
"Not at the moment. There is an elf village, but they're quite territorial nowadays...or so they say, they're currently needing some help over their place as a few children said."
"That's good to hear. Have everyone to move out now." Itami gave out his first order, in which Liam happily took, for once, he thought Itami was merely an otaku with no formalities and such.
"Roger that, Lieutenant!" He barked before he ran towards the Unit.
Meanwhile…
By a nearby canyon, an earthquake occurred, slowly the earth crumbled around the side of a hill, slowly revealing the hidden secret behind it.
"GROAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
The Great Fire Dragon has awaken from its slumber as its crimson red scales shone through the canyon. The Great Fire Dragon stretched out its wings before taking flight into the bright sky.
The heavy winds began to create gusts of wind that caused a rockslide by the walls of the canyon.
Alnus Fortress - Command Center
The Command Center of Alnus Base was busy with their works, men were busy getting information about the Gate, its materials, while others were searching for new elements and crystals that they can exploit.
Geologists were brought to speculate the geology of Falmart. Biologists were currently evaluating humanoids. Chemists were experimenting with the corpses of orcs and other such creatures with chemicals to see what kind of weapons can fight them off easily.
A few operators of the stealth UAVs were currently going through canyons, forests and mountains before they report back to refuel and re-arm when they encountered minor events. One of the UAVs was in one of the famous Falmart canyon, the so-called Great Red Canyon.
That was when the UAV began to find a rockslide occuring, the pilot widened his eyes before he moved his drone to avoid it. "Holy shit, ummm, I think we got a situation in the canyon." The pilot said as some specialists came around before they looked at the screen.
"Yeah, this might be a problem in the future."
Recon Unit 3
"So, the elf village is around the West huh?" The Recon Unit or more like Recon Convoy began to move towards a hill before they got to a cliff. "I think it's over there." They saw a lush green forest with birds flying overhead.
"I think we should at least arrive by an hour or two, considering the paths we should take." Liam spoke up.
"Yeah, I'm not trusting your sense of directions." Shino let out an annoyed voice.
"W-Wait a minute! I'm getting the hang of it!"
"Nii-san." A young woman with long brown hair tied into a ponytail, fair skin and azure blue eyes turned to him with a glare. "You're reading it upside-down."
"Uhhhhhh...I'm still in the learning curve...?" He gave out a cringey look.
"You're hopeless." The woman groaned at the man.
"Umm, this is Challenger...I think a dragon's flying by us." The sound of Liam's British Tank Commander pal came in.
"So, what's the deal?" Liam asked, the ground shook as the Challenger came in.
"I think it's hunting some elves."
"This is Itami, do you guys have some APFSDS?"
"Challenger, we got three rounds of APFSDS."
"Abrams here, we got five APFSDS."
"Leopard here, we got six APFSDS."
"We're going to open fire upon the Dragon!" Itami ordered through the radio. The three MBTs turned their turrets towards the massive Fire Dragon. The Wheeled Tank Destroyer turned its turret towards the Dragon. "In the count of three. All Guns fire. Three!"
The guns let loose of their shells as their guns recoiled, the Type 89 let loose of its 37mm main armament with the 30mm of the T-15 Armata IFV along with the 25mm chain gun of the Australian ASLAV. The Dragon was caught off guard by the foreign firepower as it screeched in pain and anger.
"Reloading!"
"Hit it with High Explosives!" The Abram's Commander barked as the three guns reloaded before firing another salvo of shells. Two HEAT rounds and an HE round, the two HEAT were quickly intercepted by the detaching scales of the dragon, the dragon tried to evade the HE round as it quickly splashed through the wing's sail.
The dragon roared in pain as its wing was lightly crippled. "We got the bastard!" The Commander of the Leopard 2A8S grinned in his position. The dragon snorted some smoke out of its nose before it flew off towards the sky.
Liam quickly acted as he got a hold of his radio before he chimed into a channel. "This is Recon Unit 3, we need a Medevac ASAP."
Well, from that day, Dragons aren't a problem for the UN apparently.
A forest village was found in the half-burnt forest of Falmart as UN soldiers began to haul injured victims with traumatized victims towards the nearest Chinooks. A young elf looked around the area in worry and concern, her face was covered in ash before Liam approached her. "Hey, what are you doing around here?"
"...Ummm...I'm lost…" The elf answered hesitantly, Liam gave out a reassuring smile before he looked around.
"How about we get you to safety then find your parents, how's that sound?" The girl smiled widely before nodding. "Good girl, c'mon."
"Thanks, big brother." The girl said to the man, who merely smiled back before getting her to a Chinook. A few Ospreys quickly jumped off their spots before they began to tilt their propellers to head back to Base to bring the heavily and mortally wounded.
"So, head count, how many we got here?" A Commander asked as a soldier got a list of elves that were being evacuated.
"Currently, we have fifty elves in our hands with a hundred dead." The man winced before he looked at the blonde haired elves being placed in Chinooks. "They're traumatized in addition."
"With no place to stay, we're not going to leave them here. Gather everything you can find, we're going to bring to the Fortress' medical camp, get them to their refugee tents and hope for the best." The Commander ordered, the soldier saluted and quickly left.
"Umm, sir!" Itami quickly saluted to the Commander, who saluted back to him. "I heard that you called me."
"Ah, yes, the oddball lieutenant, who got caught in the crossfire while off-duty, am I correct?" Itami slightly nodded in embarrassment. "You get your unit to the village before, we have some technical issues in our hands. Evacuate the whole village, we'll have air escorts as soon as the issues are finished."
"Got it, sir!" Itami yelled before the Commander let out an amused smirk.
"Dismissed, Lieutenant." Itami quickly gave out a salute before he left to his Unit.
"Well, we're going back to Coda." Itami sighed before he noticed Liam wasn't present. "Uhh, where's Liam?"
"Oh, well, he was-"
"Here." Liam's voice interrupted his sister's. "Sorry, was guiding a lost child to the Chinook. Anyways, orders?"
"...Well, we're going back to Coda. Evacuate them and take any refugees to the Fortress." Itami explained before he scratched the back of his head. "Anyone remembers the way back?" He asked in an awkward manner.
"Ummm, I was never good with the map." Liam answered to clarify that he was practically useless. "Just wanted everyone to know…"
"Alright, any others?"
This was gonna be a long day...

And that's a wrap for this chapter, I'm not going through the same canon universe where the elf village gets slaughtered by the Dragon. I'm too bored seeing too many fics using the same 'Elf Village getting burnt by the Dragon'. And again, this is a more AU Universe, a lot different than other fics.
And for that, no more informations about the future sides the future crossover. See ya, guys, next ride. But last, but not least.
