A/N: This is my first time making a story that I'm committed to. Was sucked into the universe when played Unlimited VN. Recommended by my buddy, I found the story and universe interesting and unique. Hope you like my writing.
Prologue
Cruel Destiny
There they were… Separated by a glass wall. Only three centimeters of clear glass stopped them from feeling each other warmth. Surrounding them were their friends, who came to witness this tragedy event…
Despite of them being in love with one another, fate played a cruel twist to their destiny…
The man looked on as his loved one just let her tears flow down to the floor. Not one willing to stare into each other's eyes…
Knowing too well the end result of this unexpected event… War.
With that one word, their lives turned upside-down. All the days of peace were gone. Their love shook to its very core. They were about to face an uphill task and they were not be together to face it.
The glass wall broke away in the middle of them and they were in close proximity of each other…
"Promise me that you will… come back…" The young maiden spoke in halting words.
The stoned-face man just closed his eyes… As if he can see the future.
"One way or the other… I will come back…" His face showed no remorse.
The maiden decided to look into his eyes and glaze for a moment. Their eyes locked in a fierce stare. No one else can tell what words were exchange… After, what to the outside world, a decade had passed… the maiden lets her eyes fall down and sigh in relief. Her hands trembled in fear… yet she did not let it consume her. Taking a deep breath, the maiden looked up to her lover and, with her two hands at his collar, pulled him into a long deep kiss. Surprised with her action, the man just let her have her way… Knowing well enough that this could be his last kiss, he took his time to favor her sweet lips with delight.
After a long passion kiss, the couple broke away with heaving breathing. Lost in lust for each other, they realized that it was time to depart… And with that, to war…
War. Death. Fear.
These words were striking down everyone in the world.
Battle after battle. Countless lives lost. Cities destroyed.
All of this happened because Mankind found life in space.
B.E.T.A: Beings of ExTraterrestrial origin which is Adversary of human race
The name, at first, was a joke to many who first learned upon it. However, that joke soon grew into a terror. A nightmare to many who found the terror up close in their face. These being from another world came crashing into the human world like a sword piercing into a human body. Blood was forever spilled in the wake of their advance.
At first, many countries decided to face the threat alone. That decision would cost many dearly… First appeared in the Mars surface, the Beta consumed anything in their path. Their kind were a carbon-based lifeform and their very existence was unknown to us. Any attempts to make contact with Beta usually ended in slaughter.
When mankind first discovered them in 1958, many expected that, with our advanced technology, we can win the war. But in the end, by the year 2001, only 1 billion human beings were left on earth… The very human survival was at stake.
Pre-alpha Base, Austin, Texas
Year 1995, May 8.
"So… would it work?"
"Depend on him. All I know that this is crazy."
"But… if it work, we might make it…"
"I don't keep any hope on that. Beside, we are screwed already"
"Still… We need to be successful in this if we wants to win this damn war."
"Nah! I don't give a damn about the human race. As long as I can do this would good for me."
"But your family?..."
"Like I give a fuck. Look! Just focus on the job, right?! I need you to monitor his status, alright? Let me do my end, ok?"
"Sir… you are one cold mother…"
"SHITS! LOOOOK OOOUUTTT!"
Base alarm rang loudly in the sky. The nearby city of Austin, Texas woke up in fear. Knowing that the America base was a hotspot for terrorist activity, the civilians wondered what kind of disaster was taking place in the base. The local police tried to calm the people while off-duty personnel from the base were rushing back to their post. Sounds of gunfire and explosions can be heard from a distance. Most never knew the grave danger they were in…
"Charlie-6! REPORT!"
"SIR! We can't hold for any longer… *statics noises* Break! Niner-two! You got a shitload of fraggers heading to you!"
"Roger that, C6! Alright, boys! Spray those muthafuckers with hot steels!"
A-10 Thunderbolt II Tactical Surface Fighter.
A beast created with sole purpose of holding back the Beta with brute force. Armed with an Anti-Tank Javalin Close-In Defense System Mk.1, two mounted twin GAU-8 Avenger 36mm rotary-cannons and a handheld AMWS-21 Combat System (Assault Cannon rifle) with a 120mm cannon attachment, made this A-10 a mech worthy of shock and awe tactic.
A full battalion. The 78th Armored Battalion, "Stoner", were the base's primary defender. Most of the pilots, or "Eishi" as they were called, were experienced combat pilots who fought in the Defends of Europe. They had passed the deadly, "8 minutes of death", and had scars to prove their worth. However, all that was not helping them with the chaos and slaughter that was unfolding before them…
"Keep up the fire! No slacking!"
"Shits! How the fuck did the scientists fuck up this bad?"
"Beats me. Just focus on the Beta. You need to worry about them more…"
"Niner-Eight. You are too far from us. GET BACK IN LINE, SON!"
"ARRRRGGGGHHH… FUCK YOU BETA!"
"Damn it! He lost it. Niner-Seven and Six. Support his ass. NOW!"
"Roger that!"
"Roger that! Fuck this shits…."
Like a scene from a horror movie, the Beta crawled out from their hellish hole… To consume everything before them…
Southern Command, Dallas
23th Mechanical TSF Division
The command room was filled with noises… of orders being issued left to right. Information of civilians and soldiers status. And the whereabouts of the BETA…
"What is the situation of Pre-Alpha?" The five stars general spoke with a low tone. His eyes dulled after many years of fighting and witnessing death many times… The young lady bought her headset closer to her ear before turning to face the general. "78th can't hold much long. They are down to 34%. The 69th and 158th Infantry battalions are still setting up the defense around Austin. The 27th Armored is waiting 24 miles southeast of the position." Her words carried with a tinge of burden. Pre-Alpha was a containment base for captured Beta. It was to serve the scientist with more in depth understanding of the breakdown of the Beta bio…
"Alert SecDef. He need to see this. Get 90th Squadron to be stand by for CAS. And make sure the local police get everyone out. If we have to, we will process with operation hammerhead."
The room went silent for a moment. The officers knew what hammerhead means and, as much as they hate it, the situation was slowly heading towards the operation hammerhead approval…
The pre-alpha base was a smoldering ruins. Destroyed armored car and tanks laid where they fell. TSFs were skewed everywhere.
"Fuck!... Is this how I will end?" The American Eishi was exhausted to the point of collapsing. His suit was soaked with his sweats. The cockpit began to smell like musky socks that was left in the rain. His body was trembling with fear and starvation. For 8hours, he held the line. With his platoon slowly being taken out, he steel his mind in order to get his job done. He knew, with every seconds he stop the Beta, thousands of Americans lives were saved. In front of him were the dreaded Beta, Tank Class. These red colored being, that resembled a half man, half crab, were the worst death for any human. With its hundred black disk-like eyes just stared at him, the Eishi knew that his time was out….
*Flash* A bright white light appeared before and after a few seconds, the Beta was gone. Shocked, the American Eishi looked upon his savior… "What the heck?..." The TSF was completely different from any of he knew… The design was unique. It seems to have a shield attached to its backpack. "Is that a blade?" As he stared in awe, the machine rise its sword-like rifle to the shoulder level and its eyes lighted up. "HellSavior… Taking the charge… HEAD-ON!"
To be continue…
Ending A/N: So this is how I start it off. Most of the information I gathered are from the Muv-Luv Wiki.
