THE OTHER SIDE PART 2: THE FLIGHT OF OLD 666
The meeting went off to a smooth start, as the Special Region girls made their big debut to Earth, causing a social media uproar as people immediately fell in love and welcomed them with opened arms, as tags such as #SpecialRegionGirls begun to trend on Twitter.
Among those present, included not only the nation's leaders, but various others, such as the Pope and Kane, the leader of the somewhat fanatical Brotherhood of Nod, as well as one of the generals of the Chinese military forces.
However, this meeting was about to be RUDELY interrupted by something that would quickly change everything.
Old 666 flew through the air, on its way to complete a very important mission.
"How much farther?"
"About half an hour before we reach the border, we're using just barely enough to power the engines. We've already sustained damage from Gatling cannons, but it's nothing to worry about, ma'am."
Currently on board was Lady Sovi (Creative, I know.), a pair veteran MiG Fighter pilots, the captured Libra Clone, and a couple of Conscripts and Flak Troopers.
"Ma'am!" The second pilot spoke up. "Bandits at our six o' clock! There's five of them, comrade!"
"Give me a sitrep."
"Three Vortexes and two MiGs!"
-ping plonk ping-
Already could they hear 20mm rounds attempting to tear into the Harbinger's thick armor.
Sovi walked out of the cockpit, as Flak troopers opened fire with mounted flak cannons located on the side. She climbed up a ladder, sat down in a somewhat comfy seat, and firmly grasped the controls of a prototype anti-air Tesla cannon.
She closed her eyes, allowing her electricity manipulation abilities to take control, powering up the weapon, which glowed brightly.

Reopening them, she could see the shapes of the enemy aircraft closing in on the lumbering aircraft, flying in a tight formation in order to avoid the trails of flak left in the gunships wake.
Right into their trap.
Sovi had a cheesy grin on her face as she pulled the trigger, sending out an arc of lighting sailing through the air.
It struck one of the vortexes, causing it to spiral out of the sky. The lighting swept around, slashing through the other jets.
More Vortexes flew out of cloud cover, taking risks through the storms of flak to strafe Old 666 with their highly advanced experimental VTOL systems that, with the help of rocket boosters, allowed them to fly sideways up to around 50+ miles an hour. Simply put, physics be damned to hell.
She swung the turret around, ducking down to dodge 20mm rounds as she unleashed another bolt, slicing another jet, while the flak's shrapnel cut through the thin windshields of the other Vortex, killing the pilot.
Sovi whipped her head to the side as a laser grazed her hair.
"Saucers!"
One again, she returned fire as the flak troopers focused their efforts on Yuri's Flying Saucers, which managed to get in a few direct hits on the gunship's sides, thankfully missing the engines.
However, a MiG Fighter suddenly flew in from behind, scoring a direct hit on one of the four engines, shrapnel damaging a second engine. Luckily, the gunship could still fly with three and half engines.
"ETA five minutes!"
Finally, they managed to clear the skies as London came into view.
"Unidentified aircraft, please state you-"
"I DON'T HAVE TIME, JUST CLEAR THE RUNWAY!" A air-to-air missile struck the underside of the aircraft, causing it to jolt.
"But ma'am-"
"WE'VE GOT TWO IMPORTANT VIPS, AND NEED A CLEAR RUNWAY. WE MADE IT OUT OF RUSSIA, CYKA."
"Okay, you're cleared for landing."
The MiGs tailing them beyond their sight pulled away, knowing that they would likely be targeted.
The news of a Harbinger donning the Hammer and Sickle spread fast, as now instead of a meeting, the world leaders watched a live broadcast as the smoking gunship as it came in for a landing.
"What is THAT?"
A large bulky disc-shaped object uncloaked in the sky, hovering menacingly above the airport.
A series of green lights appeared, as the Harbinger came in for a landing.
-Pew-
A pair of green laser beams shot out, cleanly slicing the left wing off of the gunship, causing it to lose balance and swing violently, before smashing into the ground, where it finally came to a halt inside an empty hangar.
With its job done, the massive UFO disappeared from radar and to the naked eye.
Everyone in the room was speechless, as they all looked at each other silently.
"Well...it appears to be that...we...we have a situation here..." The anchorwoman said, stunned.
Sovi coughed as she opened her eyes, her vision blurry. There was a massive gash in the roof (floor?) of the plane. Wether that was blood or oil that drenched her shirt, she couldn't tell. What she could hear was the crackle of flames and the sirens of emergency personnel arriving on the scene.
Focusing the electric currents in her left arm, she rubbed her eyes, clearing her vision. The commando was nearly startled by the sound of metal against metal, only to see the Libra clone dragging her "emotion amplifier-supressor" (Whatever the hell that oxymoron meant.) along the ground.
"Come on, Lady Sovi...It's dangerous here." She mulled on in her still monotone voice, holding out her hand. In her other hand, was a bag of important documents.
A few moments later, they climbed out of the wrecked gunship, as they were ushered into an ambulance.
"Hey, doc? Make sure that these get to that UN meeting. And also, can I have a clean shirt, please?"
A few moments later, the UN meeting was once again interrupted as an attendant opened the door widely.
Immediately, all eyes went on her as she casually strolled up to the desk where the world leaders sat and deposited the bag of documents, as the US President opened them.
They were detailed drawings mixed with typed documents of what was going on in Russia, and it wasn't pretty.
"What...what the hell are these?!"
"I had a feeling this would happen..." Now everyone looked at Zelinsky.
"What would happen..?" Kane asked, his usually calm demeanor now broken.
"It's him. Yuri."
"...Who?"
The lights flickered as the TV suddenly display the picture of a certain balding man with a strange symbol on his forehead.
"That is correct, Dr. Zelinsky. I already have had the pleasure of setting foot within the new world...After all, General Krukov basically gave me the Soviet Union on a silver platter. It is only a minor setback that these rebels managed to escape the border."
Zelinsky clenched his fists, in anger.
"You should know what you're up against..."
The screen changed to display a village of Humanoids. The air seemed to change to a crimson red as a vapor-esque image of 'Yuri's' face towered above it.
"BE ONE WITH YURI!"
Houses were flattened, as the humanoids now shambled like zombies, a strange purple aura over their heads.
"Yuri is our master...!"
"My life for Yuri...!"
Everyone was taken aback by this. especially princess Piña. She had never seen the humanoids as lesser beings, but she never protested their mistreatment, either.
"No way..."
"Impossible! Preposterous!"
"Oh dear."
"He has a Gate too?!"
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS, YURI?!" The doctor was in, and he was angry!
"You should know, 'comrade'. Psychics all around the world have been silently shunned for one reason or another, to the point where they are passed off as 'test subjects' for laboratories. The era of ignorance ends now!"
The transmission cut out. They all sat in silence.
And thus...a day that would forever live in infamy.

"Hey...Libra?" Sovi turned her head over, to address the commando clone in the bed next to hers.
"...Yes?"
"Why'd you help me out back there? You had every reason to kill me while I was down."
"...Mas-...Yuri and the real Libra see us clones as nothing more than mindless workers. But you've been more...accommodating..."
"Mhmm."

Libra Clone- [Redacted]
Vortex- Bulky multi-role fighters used by Yuri's forces. Dogfighters use 20mm nose-mounted cannons and a pair of wing-mounted air-to-air passive radar missiles. Others use a 20mm HE cannon and Locust Cannons, both of which tear through enemy armor with ease.
Fighter MiGs- Soviet air superiority fighters armed with sidewinder missiles.
Flying Saucer- Yuri's heavily armored flying discs, capable of air-to-air and air-to-ground combat as well as leeching resources from refineries.
Humanoid- Neutral term used by the SRCF to describe the non-humans species as a whole.
Author's notes
Had a few issues uploading this chapter, but it's all good now.
In other words, war begins NOW!
As for why Yuri didn't target the Gate with his Pyschic Dominator?
Simple, it was out of range.
Anyways, it's a race against time to get rid of Yuri's Gate, and to see who can find the capital first!
Yes, you could technically consider this a crossover with all three universes of Command and Conquer, but hey, that's cool, right?
For now, the other nations will be more "passive" in the war effort, doing things such as providing funds, or using their special technologies to assist the Allies/Japanese.
Until the next chapter, my comrades!
