Somewhere in Kazakhstan

2026

Explosions could be heard from a distance of a city. Two Humvees raced through its streets, hot on the heels of a high-priority target encased in a fortified limousine flanked by two technicals. The tension in the air was palpable as the patrol relayed their position to the base.

"Patrol to Base, Target has been located, we're in pursuit." Crackled a voice over the radio.

"Be advised bombing campaign has already begun, be careful patrol" The Warning came base commander as meanwhile missiles impacted city blocks behind them

"Roger that base" The convoy maneuvered through the town square, narrowly avoiding market stalls, before returning to the road. Amidst the chaotic pursuit, shots were exchanged between the Humvees and the well-armed enemy escorts, while the impact of missile strikes from the said bombing campaign could be felt from the shaken environment around them

"We're taking fire!"

"Stay on him!"

They then raced through an intersection, A single Humvee surged ahead as from the radio they heard A sudden cry over the comms signaling an impending disaster.

"Look out!"

An explosion could be heard and glanced from a devastating collision, as they slammed into a civilian oil truck that was attempting to pass through the intersection.

"Charlie Three is down, I repeat Charlie three is down" He reported from his glance, as the gunner of their Humvee continued firing as the enemy escorts managed to inflict critical damage on one of the technicals, as it quickly loss control from the damage causing it to crash which they plow through the wreckage in the continued chase.

"Continue pursuit Charlie Two, this is our best shot at him."

The exchange of gunfire persisted. Well-aimed shots from the Humvee gunner struck the remaining technical's wheels, causing it to swive and crash into a nearby tower.

"Escorts eliminated, We got him"

They reported, relief evident in their voices. however, as they made a left turn, it was short-lived. The sudden realization of dread filled the air as an explosion could be heard turning to the tower where the technical crash they watched as it began to collapse in their path. In quick thought, the driving soldier sped up and, in a skip of a heartbeat escaped the impending disaster as the tower crashed to the ground behind them.

A sigh of relief escaped the driver of Charlie Two's Humvee as the leader, Second Lieutenant of the last patrol Thomas Shaw, reported from the front passenger seat.

"Be advised Charlie Two, a large number of GLA forces are spotted on the outskirts of the city. Capture the target before it reaches its rendezvous asap." warned the base commander over the comms

"Roger that base where closing distance on the target." He reported as the radio transmission ended

"Shit" After putting down the radio, he return focused on the armored limo in front. Suddenly, out of the window, a GLA trooper with an RPG emerged, pointing the weapon directly toward them.

"Move!" he yelled, as a rocket-propelled towards them. Swiftly dodging it, the rocket landed just a few feet away from the Humvee. Their gunner retaliated, firing back and eliminating the attacker, whose lifeless body fell out from the window

Another window opened as then another one pulled out an RPG but quickly with their guards up the gunner shot the soldier this RPG was propelled to the ground near the limo causing damage to its side however it remained to move as The target veered left into an alley, and they followed suit, speeding through the gaps.

"Corporal Speed up now!" The Lieutenant yelled As the Humvee accelerated further enough to ram the rear of the limo causing it to lose its momentum, attempting turning right however it slid and slammed itself by the side onto the building disabling the now-crashed vehicle

"Get out, Secure the target." Ordered the Lieutenant as they rushed out. Half of Charlie Two's team exited as the limo's passengers exited with two rebels firing their AKs towards the rangers but they luckily avoided the line of attack as the rangers fired back killing two of them but before they could reach the vehicle the figure they believed to be the target flee the area as he headed to the alleyway

"He is getting away." He yelled running after the target "Tannen, Howard, stay in the humvee and try to flank him around the block, Roza, Gordon, on me."

Their pursuit continued on foot at the alleyway as the Lieutenant yelled to the radio "Patrol the Base, targets on foot, we are in pursuit."

Their chase continued in the alleyway as the target was closing in out of the alleyway but then was quickly blocked by their humvee which quickly moved to a backdoor at the side of the building as he quickly rammed in breaking into the building. Entering after the target he sighted to move up the stairs to the upper floors as they quickly followed

"Fucker got himself cornered." One of the rangers uttered climbing the stairs as they moved to the upper floors they reached the roof where they saw Target standing near the edge they all pointed their M16A5s at him

"Surrender, you are surrounded there is nowhere left for you to go." While pointing their guns at the target they slowly span towards their target and as they looked towards him they sternly faced their target

Their expressions were grim they stared towards the target none other than the head of the terrorist organization of the GLA itself, Supreme Commander General Mohmar 'Deathstrike', as he met them with an unamused expression at the rangers.

As the Lieutenant remained focused on the leader before giving the orders to subdue the commander, he began to step backward less than a foot away from the edge of a fall alarming the ranger they attempted to stop him however before they could attempt to reach him, he then quickly drew off his gun causing the rangers to fire at him instinctively resulting to his body knocked back from the building as his body fell backwards as they could be hear a drop to the ground, looking down from the edge there they saw the now lifeless body of the leader with bullet-holes filled him as a large pool of blood expands underneath his body

"Fucker taking chances." exclaimed the ranger as they slightly expressed frustration with the failed recovery of the target

"It doesn't matter, he's gone now." Said the lieutenant as he radioed back to the base "Patrol to Base, we have engaged with the target however we are forced to neutralize him."

"What's the status of the target Charlie Two?"

"The Target has been killed in action, we were forced to neutralize as he resisted attempts on surrender" He reported

"Roger that, Charlie, Recover the body of the target and return to base. " The commander from the radio ordered, "We got sights of incoming GLA forces coming to the city we need you to head back Patrol."

"Affirmated, Charlie Two, out."

"Quickly, pick up him." He quickly ordered the rangers. "An incoming enemy force is heading in our direction."

Two of the rangers that followed him took the body as they rushed down to the ground floor with the collected of General Mohmar Deathstrike's corpse, they quickly placed him inside the Humvee, and drove off, leaving the city in the aftermath of the destructive battle.

Leaving war-torn streets bore witness to the remnants of a fierce conflict, with debris and smoke lingering as a testament to the intense battle that had just unfolded. The once-bustling cityscape now stood as a silent witness to the operation that had successfully neutralized a significant threat, leaving behind a haunting echo of a clandestine mission in the heart of turmoil.


From the outskirts of the city with distance sound of bombing could be heard, and the awaiting escorts eagerly held position at the rendezvous point, though they remained in the dark about their Supreme Commander's fate. A large group of American forces pursued the Commander no longer than a few hours before the bombing started with the last report with the Vehicle of the Commander being chased by the last of the American patrol amidst city bombardments.

Heightening their anticipation for the worst, an hour had passed with no sign of their leader, and time was running out before the American forces approached them. They tense wait was interrupted as the reinforcement consisted of rebels in combat cycle that were sent to aid the Supreme Commander arrived although empty-handed and without their leader in sight

"What happens to the Supreme Leader?" The escorts' commander, brimming with concern, questioned them about the whereabouts of Supreme Commander Mohmar Deathstrike, only to receive displeasing news.

"Our leader has fallen general" reported the rebel to the commander. "He was killed in action from the chase, and his body was recovered by the Americans and they have already left the city as we arrived"

Despite the growing temptation of anger coursing through the general, he recognized the troubling situation. Turning to one of the men, he declared, "We need to move, we will not allow the death of our leader to set us back to defeat."

It was followed by the rebel's affirmation, "Then we must act general, we cannot sit idle while the infidels wreak havoc."

"Not to worry my brother, the Americans, The Chinese, and their Allies will pay, however now we must retreat if we are to live another day." He assured his fellow warrior "We will live, brother. We must flee the area if we are to escape for another day."

"General, are we still to proceed in escaping with the American plane at the nearby airstrip?" The rebel inquired the commander

"The Americans are already approaching our location and with the time that had been wasted it is already too late to attack the airstrip." He answered to which he then said " We must return to the tunnel systems and regroup south with our remaining brethren in the regions."

"Understood, we will fight for you to the end General." His display of loyalty was acknowledged by the commander as he then mounted one of the Technicals, continuing his conversation with the rebel. "As of now, we are to move before the arrival of the Americans."

Addressing his remaining men, the commander asserted, "The GLA will not fall, even in the face of this great defeat. Even with the death of our leader, we will continue our fight until the very end, we not stop until we are free from the grasp of our global oppressors. Soon We will rise again."

A resounding outcry from the warriors echoed in support of the cause. In his final words, the commander rallied them, and they began to move out, fleeing the scene with determination and an unyielding spirit, refusing to accept defeat and firmly believing in their imminent return from this setback.


Akmola, Kazakhstan

8:48, August 1, 2027

A year after the aftermath of the Global War on Terror, the capital city of Akmola in Kazakhstan celebrates its liberation from the Global Liberation Army (GLA). The year passed, marking both the victory over the GLA and its journey of rebuilding. The city bears scars from a decade-long conflict. Despite the presence of both the United States of America and China, the people remain steadfast in their pursuit of restoration. The echoes of war still reverberate through Akmola. Despite the challenges, the people remain hopeful, clinging to the fragments of peace that emerge from the ruins. However, this fragile peace is suddenly shattered by unforeseen events yet to come.

US forces swiftly mobilized within the city of Akmola, forming a strategic perimeter around an ancient, enigmatic structure. Rangers, armored vehicles, and aerial units collaborated seamlessly, creating a defensive perimeter. All the while nearby civilians are being moved away from the area restricting them from coming close to the mysterious structure.

Amongst these soldiers stood their commanding lieutenant Lieutenant Colonel Burton arrived amidst the unfolding scene, his gaze fixed upon the structure that bore an uncanny resemblance to ancient Rome. He turned as he approached a Ranger, who then gave him a crisp salute

"Colonel," The Ranger saluted the Colonel "the area around the structure has been secured"

"Good. Any word from the nearby Chinese Guards?" Burton inquired of the Captain.

"Yes, sir. They are sending reinforcements and will arrive later as anticipated." The Captain reported, leading the Colonel's attention to a mysterious structure

As he stared at it his attention drew through it and all he could see was nothing but a way toward nothing but darkness as if there appeared to be a passageway way even though the structure was nothing but an archway he then wondered where it led as he turned back to the captain

"Captain, what has your team gathered from this structure? The colonel asked the captain while pointing towards the dark entrance of the structure

"We have no idea, Colonel, we first believed it would lead to an underground tunnel made by the GLA, so we sent some sentry drones to scout through the underground however, strangely enough, the drone operator reported that it leads in a forward direction for about miles deep farther than how the structure appeared to be length." The Colonel looked to the Captain curiously

"What have they found inside the structure?" The Colonel asked as he then began to analyze the structure

"We don't know, the sentry drones that were sent have lost connection when it had gotten inside."

"Have you attempted to send a scouting party inside?" The Captain then shook his head

"Not yet, we believe it would be too risky not knowing what's inside until orders from the General are given, and if this thing was conducted by the GLA then who knows what could be in store for us inside." The captain explained as he scratched his head "However, if that were to be the case it still does not explain its appearance at the center of the city."

"I don't think any of us could explain how a structure this size somehow got into the center of the city without being spotted." Said the Colonel whose focus remained on the structure. "Have you questioned any of the locals?"

"Well, I don't know how to explain this Colonel." He began as he tried to form words for his explain much to the suspense to Burton as he asked

"What is it?"

"Some of the locals reported that the structure just happened to appear in the city." Said the Captain while slightly skeptical of his statement

"Could you please elaborate?" The Captain took a breath before explaining

"I still have no idea, sir, the locals stated that this structure just suddenly appeared in the blink of an eye." The colonel raised a brow

"Like what? Like magically appearing or it being emerging from the ground?" A confused look could be seen on him

"Something like that, but I am as skeptical as you Colonel."

"And you think it might be the case?" He inquired

"As bullshit as it may sound Colonel that is the closest thing to explain from what the civilian told us." He responded even with a slight disbelief at the idea

To which the colonel's attention turned to the US troops around the entrance of the structure as he watched as more and more of them arrived with units consisting of the Rangers, Missile Defenders, Pathfinders, Humvee, Crusaders, as well as a few Commanches flying around the structure. There are a few Chinese troops around the area mostly infantry such famed Red Guard, Tank Hunters, and a Gatling tank aiming toward the structure

"With how many barrels are pointing to its entrance I doubt whoever is inside could get out without getting shredded to piece." The colonel attempted humor with the captain responded with a slight chuckle as he then said

"Whatever this is we will keep an eye on it until the General provides us further orders" However their conversation was interrupted as their attention turned to the Chinese Troop Crawlers that were approaching them and as they stopped more Red Guards exited the vehicles as they converged in the area as then their attention move to a distinct Red Guard as he then gave a saluted towards them

"Colonel Burton, I am Captain Hao Shui." The Red Guard introduced himself sternly and well-disciplined

"At ease Captain, we would very well appreciate your assistance." Colonel Burton raised to shook hands with the Red Guard Commander

"Lieutenant Colonel John Burton." He fully introduced himself and then gestured to his captain "This is Captain Raymond Park"

"it would be an honor to serve with you Americans, however, we must proceed at securing this portal." Said Captain Hao

"Very well then captain, right now we need men defending the parameter around that structure so I would need forces to take a position." The colonel directed the Chinese forces pointing toward various positions in the perimeter

"Roger that Colonel." The captain turned to the rest of the guard to which he commanded them in Chinese as they quickly organized themself and proceeded to take positions.

Both US Rangers and Chinese Red Guard collaborated and began to organize their position against the structure then later they remained in the area as many kept watchful for further orders until someone noticed movement

"Something coming out of the structure." A ranger alerted as then many of the defensive troops turned their attention toward the structure

The Army in the area began to up and arm themselves as they all pointed at the gate both the Colonel and the Captain followed. They watch as the silhouette moves out and as one emerges they can see more are followed as they exit the darkness the two officers watch in surprise as the men who exit resemble soldiers of the Roman Empire.

"The fuck I am looking at right now." The captain muttered as more and more formations of them exited wielding spears and armor making them tense about the situation the colonel then equipped his XM29 rifle he turned off the safety preparing for the situation to escalate

More emerge from the structure and then monster creatures emerge from the structure as more and more different humanoid creatures appear many of the soldiers stare confused, shocked, at it but then suddenly the sound of the horn to which they begin to charge which then the captain ordered

"Open fire."


Washington DC, United States of America

1:44, August 1, 2027

In the White House, President Howard Paulson is currently in the situation room with some members of his cabinet. They are watching footage of a strange event happening in Kazakhstan. The President is feeling confused as this event is disrupting his current duties of overseeing policies and issues in the nation. It has been a year since the defeat of the major threat that scared the world, known as the 'Global Liberation Army'.

The 'Global Liberation Army' is unlike most terrorist groups faced in the 21st century in the United States. The Global Liberation is composed of terrorist organizations around the world united against the proclaimed Imperialism an argument common amongst various groups. At first, they were heavily underestimated by the world including themselves believing them to be yet another ordinary terrorist group such as Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, etc.

In 2019, a warlord from Kazakstan saw the newly-formed nation of Aldastan from the unity of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan as a threat to the ideals of the Supreme Commander formed the Organization as a result. However, the world's attention was captured on the warlord when he launched a major strike on China, starting with the detonation of a nuclear bomb in Beijing. This attack caused widespread devastation throughout China and prompted the United States and the European Union to pool their resources to stop this threat.

However, it has come as a shock over the years they have discovered and seen their progress as the Global Liberation Army has secured major support across the Afro-Eurasian regions with the GLA only having a comparatively small force but the factors of the rest of the continent starting with Africa and Asia easily concluded to an anti-imperialist stance common amongst thought but as for the rest of Europe it only come to affect considering the controversial and major change of which had happened in the now newly formed united European Union

most of the populace has faced discourse due to the many nations across Europe as the EU decided to unite themselves as a single entity which faced a major backlash with several nations disapproving of the decision combined with violent counter-protests in Germany which made the populace believed of an oppressive ruled propagated by major influenced to the GLA's cause as it began to gather support from large portion of Europe

Within the past 8 years beginning with China taking a massive charge at the front in the war defeating the GLA, first launching a counterattack from Beijing, Hong Kong, as well as the countryside of the major power once defeating them at the homefront they began their massive invasion force towards the GLA controlled Aldastan with the support of the United States providing them air support where they able to cripple the united terrorist group.

However, they were able to recover themselves with the now outstretched invasion of Chinese force they were able to regain one foothold and victory after another, it ended with the launch of a missile filled with bioweapons known as Anthrax struck the nation of Iraq from the former soviet missile site Baikonur cosmodrome photos towards the Middle Eastern Regions.

At the high of this war, the United States began to fully intervene at this war starting with their retaliation they began to strike at full force towards their main stronghold of Kazakhstan they continuously pushed forward toward their headquarters of Akmola with the assistance of their unexpected yet close ally China they have struck at what they thought would be the final days of the GLA.

By the end of 2026 the GLA now split amongst themselves were hunted and destroyed by the Sino-American forces however one of these cells began to regrow under the banner of a GLA Commander known as Dr. Thrax with his research he began the mass use of Anthrax however the US was able to quell these forces crippling the GLA into nothing more than a splintering force separating themselves from the once united Army it once was and ended with the death of their Supreme Commander of the GLA General Mohmar 'Deathstrike'

His death is considered to be the nail in the coffin against the GLA with continued assault towards many of the remnants of members and associations of the Global Liberation Army such as the infamous Prince Kassad and Rodall Juhziz have splintered amongst themselves as many other cells after the defeat of Deathstrike have become nothing more than smaller scale insurgent however they are still at large with their remaining armies around the Middle East and North Africa

During this wartime period, the US suffered economically from the exhausting conflict combined with the massive spending of this war had caused outrage amongst the public opinion during the entrance of the Eight-year war, and with its official end in this year 2027 they would begin to put it's resources back towards the domestic needs of their nation. although the United States remains in smaller conflicts caused by GLA actions such as insurgence around the destabilized Middle East, and Central Asia it would not require a mass deployment of many of their man and the once ever-increasing spending to the already massive budget of the US Armed Forces.

However, even with the supposed 'defeat' of the GLA, there is suspicion in some of the command of the US Armed Forces believing their possible return with many dismissing these claims by most of the US Government. Even it is understood that with the death of the Supreme Commander of the Army, they have already caused enough damage, and even if a Warlord claimed a spot on his power gap they would be exhausted and split by the time they would even attempt to reform.

It has been a year since that war but of now attention has been refocused on a current upcoming issue one he would barely understand in the situation that unfolded in Akmola but he wishes to resolve and determine the current issue if they were to find out what takes place with the help of the Secretary of Defense Joint Chief of Staff and commanding officers of the Armed forces

"Okay, so from what I am seeing from this screen, this structure now believed to be a portal of sorts appeared in the middle of City Akmola," He began to reel off in an attempt to understand the situation "and then an army of Roman-like soldiers as well as monsters exited, and attacked the station troops and the unfortunate civilians in the area."

"From what you could see on this screen it is with no doubt that it happened." He reaffirmed to the President the unbelievable footage. "And with various reports of this incident combined with witnesses consisting of civilians and our very own forces as well as from China."

"Yes I know I got a call from their President and he as well was not happy and understanding, yet they still are in the middle of the same discussion." Said the President as he continued "So what I want to know is what the hell happened and what can you gather from this?"

Their attention to a monitor of a General on screen as then the Joint Chief of Staff asked "General can you explain what happened at Akmola."

The General on the screen was no ordinary commanding officer of the army, he was no other than the famed Supreme Allied Commander in the Global War of Terror and one of the known generals who led the attack against the GLA in the war. His reputation starts with his first operation in the Mazar Free Fire Zone in Afghanistan to operations in Kazakstan, a Joint operation in Akmola, and his battle against the infamous Dr Thrax and the commanding officer who led to the death of enemy leader Mohmar Deathstrike.

"We have yet to little to no understanding of how that mysterious structure appeared at Akmola however it was reported around 700 Hours by locals in the area of its appearance and we quickly mobilized troops around the portal and two hours later when they arrived." The General retells the events to the President and other high-ranking military members in the room

This explanation still doesn't satisfy the President "So you are telling me that the portal suddenly appeared in the city without any explanation other than it emerging out of thin air?"

"Yes, from what we can gather it is all we could guess." The response gained further curiosity from the President as pushed on with his questions

"Care to please elaborate General?"

"In the aftermath of the battle we have managed to capture many of these Romans as well some humanoid beings, we can interrogate them although with the language barrier, we were able to figure out realizing they speak Latin and them resembling that of the Romans." He explained as chatter could be seen from the military officials while the President remained on the General

"Were there any casualties at the defense against these 'Romans'?" The Army General Ironside spoke up in his sit as he remained stoic about the statements

"Unfortunately we have determined 108 casualties in the aftermath consisting of 87 wounded and 21 dead with civilians suffering the most." The General explained as the president sighed

An Army General from the seat then asked, "How were the civilians harmed when they were cleared from the area and you were able to set up a defensive perimeter on time?"

"We were able to repel their ground forces however from the portal also came those dragons." The statement confused the military officers

"A dragon, are you serious about this?" Said another Military officer who stared at the screen in disbelief

"Yes, it flew past the defenses and inflicted damage to the nearby civilians. The troops luckily managed to shoot them down with the station missile defenders and the Chinese' tank hunters and Gatling tank in the area they weren't able to make it to the rest of the city due to Commanche in the scene." This response satisfied the Army General as the President continued

"back to the focus on what you can gather from these Romans, is there anything else you like to inform us of?" The President asked

"From what we could obtain from the prisoners the portal that appeared was dub by them as the 'Gate' It is said it was believed to be blessed by them by their deity, and they use this 'Gate's' appearance to invade us in hopes of taking our resources and claiming the lands." The statement was responded to with discussion and arguments between officials in the room as President Paulson continued

"Hold on this Gate is a to other realms correct?" His question was gained by a nod as he explained

"Yes it seems so Mr President from the land they came from they call it Falmart, and the soldiers that came through are from a nation called the 'Empire'"

"Empire?" One of the Military's Air Force generals, Malcolm Granger scoffed "It appears their pride is as large as the amount of bodies they send for us to bury in the sand."

He then asked, "What else can you tell us about this 'Empire'?"

"They have stated that the Empire has conquered most of the continent and seems like they are still expanding and wishes to conquer more as obvious it look." The General continued to elaborate "However more dreadful information was gathered of this Gate, there is another."

The President and the Military leader tense up as the Secretary then asked "Wait what do you mean there is another?"

"They have claimed there were only two Gates's however we don't know where this second Gate will appear around so that is one of the things we should be worried about." As the General informed the President, he however is now more tense as is

"Any more information on this second Gate General." He asked but was disappointed by his response

"Non, many of the soldiers including their officers have no idea of where the other Gate leads as of yet they have another army waiting to cross it but now we need to be alert of this second one." The President began to rub his forehead in annoyance

He didn't know when this second one would arrive, but possibilities were many, could it be in here the US, Europe, China, Russia, or worse somewhere where the GLA controls it he had hoped they could find they have advanced surveillance technology, Troops that are stretched around the world, and with technological might to defeat them but the only concern is when, where, and how, he need to act.

"Where this Gate is we need to be on alert, I need all eyes around the Globe, I need allies on the watch, and troops the ready. I don't want any further chaos of this to happen, whatever and where it is we need to stop it." The Generals agreed with the president as he turned back to the screen

"General, I need you to take control of the Gate and I need to mobilize an expedition force at the ready." The President then ordered, "We will contact our Chinese allies about this plan and right now we will send more forces towards this mission, understood."

"Yes, Mr President" The Supreme Commander Responded as the President turned to the rest of the commanding officers

"Secretary I need a watchful eye around the world for this second Gate and if found report it and send troops immediately before more come up understood."

"Don't worry Mr President we will get to it right away."

"Good and for the rest you." He turned to the rest of the Generals

"You will remain at command as it is and if your assistance is needed at this expedition then we will come to right now but right now you may return to your duties."

After this meeting was dismissed the president continued to clear his thoughts of the situation right now he need a short while to rest before he goes back into assessing and analysis in the events. As he returned to his office he began to worry as not right after the war ended the GLA was opened by not a terrorist organization but by mythical creatures from another word, so after the rest he took he decided to return to duties until then they would remain vigilant


Imperial Palace, Sadera

Imperial Calendar 687

"Forgive my rudeness, but the empire has suffered massive losses, Your Majesty." The Senator Marquis Casel addressed his highness Emperor Molt Sol Augustus who sat on the throne as he is surrounded by his senate

"The empire has lost sixty percent of its fighting force against the enemies of both Gates." Many of the senators began to speak amongst each other with worrisome looks as Marquis continued "Your Majesty! how do we intend to lead this Empire?"

As he continued to ramble the emperor remained calm as he then spoke "Marquis Casel I agreed with your concerns as well. I agree that we have suffered a great loss but I believe it is not too time to ramble in such times."

"For what may it be Your Majesty?" Marquis Casel looks at him questioningly

"As you see right we have many of our fight forces which would display weakness to many around the empire, especially our very own allies." He voiced, "Do you believe that they won't rebel against us if they see such an opportunity?"

The Emperor expressed with lack of concern while remaining assertive to the men in power while the Senator pressed on "But your Majesty it has yet a few days however both armies of the Gate began their counter-attack and as you heard these enemies are more formidable than we though with their armies filled hundreds, no thousand mages on their rank casting blaze of raining fire at us."

"Yes, as I have heard but it would not be effective if we were to like this." His response was met with the emperor shrugging off his concerns

"Then what must we do your then Highness?" Marquis asserted further "What do we have against our enemies?"

At this, it was met with a confident look from the emperor

'Do you remember the Battle of Akuteku 250 years ago, my dear Senators?" He began to ask with a rhetorical question "How did our great predecessors react to such news of an army's total defeat? Did they surrender in a defeat this great? Did we give him a negotiate for peace?"

The senate remained silent as he spoke "No, they remain determined, the men continued to fight, women continued to birth warriors, leaders continued to lead until their last breath."

"The Empire may weather in dire times such as these times since its founding. Always, the Emperor has cooperated with the Senate and its people to face these trials that is why the Empire grew so powerful." The Emperor's words resonated with the Senators. "There is never a certainty of victory in each battle and even if they have won in this battle it would not determine an end of a war"

"Are you aware of how powerful the enemy's weaponry is? A single spat of those flames could pierce our armor and would kill a single of our men but with an army, they would slay thousands of our men." exclaimed Senator Godasen, as the senate remains tense "Both enemies have already secured the Gate and soon they would send more to come"

The sigh as the Emperor said, "The enemy may have invaded our land. They are currently constructing a fort around the Gate, they will one day begin a full-blown invasion. We need to deal with the otherworldly enemy on Alnus Hill and we must act immediately."

"Let's just bring the war with them!" A bald knight, Marquis Podawan stood up and bowed before the Emperor. "If cornered, the best way to fight back is with strength and courage. Let's rally the forces scattered around the Empire and crush the enemies at the Gate!"

However, this was met with some backlash at his outburst with senators arguing with each other as one stood up

"Even if we could, how would we fight the enemies of Arnus? If we attack head-on, wouldn't it be a repeat of the Battle?'

As the voice in the hall reached his ears, Podawan gritted his teeth and proposed, "If our forces are insufficient Then we muster the vassal states' army"

"You believe they would be so obedient?"

"Then on what grounds do we have to order them? Tell them we had lost over half our army? If we do that, we will only humiliate ourselves!" Marquis Casel continued to listen to Podawan's irrational and reckless ideas. The growing tension between the Senate grew

Amidst the chaos, Emperor Molt stood up from his throne. Seeing this the Senators settled down.

"If we continue to remain idle and bicker amongst ourselves this will accomplish nothing ." Hearing these words, the Senators calmed down and listened to what he had to say.

"Now, what do we do? Do we watch helplessly as the situation deteriorates further? No. If none could provide a solution, then it leaves us no choice but to fight." Said the Emperor as Podawan looked to the emperor with determination as well as those who sided with him "Muster the armies of all our vassal states. Send a messenger to each kingdom and request aid from the leaders to repel the otherworldly invaders of the Falmat Continent. An allied army amassed from the vassal states shall be raised to attack Arnus Hill."

His word brought division to the Senate with many breaking out in cheers while a few did the opposite and watched as they blindly followed this suicidal act especially the Marquis Casel who voiced reason

He watched as sanity ended with a thunderous applause. He knew that this invasion was a consequence of the Empire's aggression, as the Emperor ordered the vassal states to commit troops to defend against a threat they created he then muttered

"Your Majesty? Are we going to fill the lands around Alnus without fallen beasts and men?"

Hearing Marquis Casel's words, the Emperor replied loudly, "I strive for victory, but there is never a certainty of such. The fate of the allied army is unknown. If they fall, that will be unfortunate. If that were to happen, the Empire would send the imperial army to battle the invaders.'

"This is thy mission in dealing with this crisis. Any objections, Marquis Casel?' Although he questioned the senator The Emperor had made his final decision.

Marquis Casel stared at the Emperor, dumbfounded, and lamented the fate of the allied army. The peacemakers could only bow their heads before the Emperor and dispatch envoys to deliver his orders.


MOB Astana, Falmart

8:48, August 24, 2027

A few weeks after the invasion of the other world Falmart, they began to set up base on the other world. Within the weeks they set up a command center close to the gate at its center. Barracks are constructed for the stationed troops. The Base is surrounded by a defensive garrison such as multiple firebase and bunkers.

The base is still yet under construction with multiple buildings in progress as of now with Fusion Plants, Supply Centers, War Factories, Airbases, and strategy centers. They also planned a launch site to have satellites on the field however it has yet to be approved as of now.

The plan as of yet is a full-scale invasion however planning would at least take a while due to multiple factors that they needed to solve.

First is due to requiring further intel on the world, although they have ideas on the scale of the continent due to the maps that were gathered from POWs they still needed further details on other things such as the people, creatures, and monsters. They would need to do basic reconnaissance around imperial territory as they further developed their forces within the regions

The second is due to the lack of manpower as of now at least, even with their higher levels of technological prowess they still need to occupy and have a strong foothold on the regions, and due to their massive presence back on earth, they are concerned of outstretching their forces.

Lastly, they would need to create massive influence on the continent, due to the massive size of the empire and with possible existence of other countries. In their perspective with a massive otherworldly invasion force with high levels of firepower they might believe to be seen as a threat and they wouldn't want to go to war with the whole world or even have to resort to conflict with the rest of locals and noncombatants other than the Empire. Knowing how threatening a guerilla force can be they would not want to underestimate the capabilities of this world knowing dragons and magic exist.

Although this military expedition to another world was a retaliation of an invasion force, many researchers wish for more scientific exploration of the world with many of the otherworldly creatures' bodies that piled during the attack their bodies were used for scientific examination, and with another world existing many wishes to study these world with pressure coming from however as of now they denied access due to dangers in this world but it is placed into consideration until approval could be given by the UN.

So far within the world, they have done mostly reconnaissance as of yet using ground forces and aerial units. There are few incidents but they have yet to result in death with casualties resulting in nothing more than injuries. Encounters with bandits and Imperial patrols were Common for recon troops but they were mostly eliminated with some prisoners being taken back. They were attacked by wyverns however they were quickly killed by the patrolling Commanches. As far as they are concerned the threat as of now is low until then.

Another thing that has most of them on edge is the word of a second portal that has been said by the POW so far they have done a global search for this portal with no results to be found. They have no idea if what they speak of is the truth but they would not stop until it is found. The recon can't find anything to the limits of what they could do as of now. However, this issue could be resolved if they could do a Global scanning of this world the possible ways which they could is the use of an SR51 which they first require an airfield to use, and the launching of a satellite which would take about months or even years ahead if the process go slower as all they can rely for now are ground forces

As far as the American Commander is concerned, for now, the men are under his command. They are in a foreign world surrounded by many unknown countries, people, and creatures. A military consists of a thousand troops as of now against number against a whole continent. He however will not allow the odds he had faced against a global terrorist force that took two superpowers to defeat them. Global forces that stretch from Northern Africa to the Middle East, to Central Asia. A force with millions of which conduct both conventional and guerilla tactics, bioweapons that killed millions, and hardline supporters who are willing to die for their cause.

They had survived an eight-year war against a great enemy and had only less than a year of peace he would not allow this so-called empire to get away with an invasion they started. They will make sure the Empire faces justice even with the little force they have they will succeed.

His train of thought was interrupted as the door to his was open revealing it to be an officer

"General we have a situation, we need you in the control room." Without saying a word the US General as he followed him back into the main control room of the command center

As he arrived many awaited his arrival, especially his primary communications officer as he oversees the command center

"General" Lieutenant Eva saluted followed by the officers in the room

"Lieutenant" He greeted the lieutenant as he then followed up with his question "What seems to be the situation, Lieutenant."

She reported. "General, One of our surveillance drones has spotted enemy forces heading in our current direction."

The Empire hasn't forgotten their welcoming party it seems." The General remarked while unsurprised of the upcoming enemy as he turned to the lieutenant "How many large are we talking about?

"From what we gather General it appeared to be about 50,000 soldiers however this enemy doesn't appear to be troops of the empire." The General looked at her questioningly as she proceeded with an answer. "Judging from our surveillance most of them appear to wear different armor from those of the empire in addition the banners they display seem to originate from different kingdoms from what we can speculate they might be an Allied Army of the Empire."

"Is that so?" He looks at the Footage of the surveillance shown on the screens around with many soldiers displaying different armor, weapons, and banners as the Lieutenant stated. The General held his chin in thought and thinking of the next course of action.

"No matter, we must alert the men garrisoned on our defense." The General then ordered, "Informed the men outside of the base of the nearby enemy force. If they approach our defenses then immediately fire upon them. We need to be ready ASAP"

"Affirmative General, we will have it done by the hour." She said as then the command center began to alert the whole base of the income army all the while the General stood as he carried on

"Any sightings of 'exceptional units'?" He asked

"Negative Generals, there are no sightings of special units as of yet." She quickly responded

"Very well, I want as many eyes as possible of any supernatural or nonhuman forces, we are not to take any chances as all units are to prioritize in killing if they pose as a larger threat" The lieutenant and other officers noted

"Roger that General." They began to carry on with the order as they remained on duty


Somewhere in Falmart

8:55, August 24, 2027

"See any up there" Corporal Emit Roza heard someone ask from the back passenger seat of the Humvee.

"Well from what I see it has been here since we arrived" he looked around at the plain view as behind him were convoys of other humvees to which he responded plainly "Nothing but grass, trees, and some mountains."

"Aside from the usual imperial patrol that wants to slice my head off, everything else is better, I suppose," he remarked. "Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing really, better than from what I can see down here." Said Specialist Ben Gordon

"Least the higher-ups decide to remove top armor at least." Roza commented, "Can't stand being cooped up in the claustrophobic box."

"I mean it's better to be in that box rather than being shot at by an Invisible Eagle-Eyed Cuckoo."

"You do know that invisible eagle-eyed cuckoo can still shoot straight through that armor right?" Roza retorted

"Hey you get my point, I know we could barely sit through it, and how to cramp it is but it did its job, you know damn well humvees aren't made for open combat." Said Gordon

"Then the DOD shouldn't have sent humvees to the front," Roza argued as He continued in a sarcastic tone, "But hey, putting away APCs and IFVs would at least give you the budget to build more light tanks I supposed."

"Well gotta start saving money when you go and need to spend it on Laser Arsenal, Super Weapons, Death beams from the sky, and a mass number of expensive military armaments to be blown up by a crazed suicide bomber" This was followed up laughter between the two rangers

"We could have got the new state-of-the-art HK416 or the MCX Variants but no it cost too much for them and go for the good ole M16 that was probably modified by your Grandpa" They continued to laugh

Fucking bullshit that we are in the short stick to the Trillion Dollars worth of budget?" Gordon claimed as he began to rant "The Armored division gets the M4A1 Crusader, Tomahawk Tanks, Microwave tanks. The Air Force gets the King Raptors, Aurora Bombers, and Combat Chinooks. The Navy got Super Carriers and the return of the battleship. The infantry? Hell no fuck that here's a M16A5. AT4, Stingers, and Javelins? No how about FGM 172 only exclusive for the 'Missle Defenders'? Sniper Rifles? You need to wear a leaf suit for it."

"Well can't have nice shit in the infantry. Can't remember the last time any of us used a sniper and a rocket launcher in the field other than our specially trained units." Roza remarked, "Trillions of Dollars of military equipment for the spending but none for them grunts, fantastic."

After the conversation, both of them went silent and continued to watch the road ahead. Gordon glanced around the humvee and looked at the rest of his squad. Sergeant Earl Tannel was napping tactically in the back passenger seat while Staff Sergeant Leo Howard and Lieutenant George Hayden were having a conversation in the front. However, their conversation was interrupted by an incoming radio transmission.

"All Stations report we have movement of enemy force coming 100 miles from the East, all nearby patrols are to return to base." The radio crackled

Their Platoon Lieutenant picked up the radio as he then said. "This is Charlie Three reporting we are returning to base over."

"Well looks like something fun is going on back there." The Lieutenant stated as he then turned to Staff Sergeant Howard and said "It seems that we have mobilized another army more quickly than expected."

"It's not surprising when you know how the Roman Empire operates." Said Howard "Although this buildup was faster than I expected."

"You can just put it up to magic as a reasonable explanation." Specialist Gordon commented, "Who knows what bullshit they pull from their asses to get their men up to shape."

The Lieutenant looked at him in the rearview mirror and said "Which is why we are out here for reconnaissance specialist. Also, can you, Wake up Sargent Tannen will you."

"Okay then." Gordon then turned to the napping sergeant "Hey Serg wake up we got work to do."

As the specialist shook the said of the sergeant he quickly awoken very jumpy before looking around and said "The hell is going on."

"Rise and shine Mike, if you haven't heard anything through that beauty sleep, we just orders to head back to base?" As he informed him Tannen looked at his watch turning to the Lieutenant

"Really? Do tell me what has dragged us back?" He asked as he drowsed off from his recent nap

"There is an incoming enemy force in the west, orders to return for our safety and to reinforce the defenses when they arrive." The awaken sargeant quickly straighten up

"How far are they from here?" he asked

"About 100 miles that was reported, and don't worry it will take a while for them to reach there anyways." Gordon said casually

"Already?" Tannen said questioningly" I was expecting them to prepare for at least a month, especially since they were at least ancient or medieval by standard

"Magic Serg, there is no other explanation for such bullshit," Gordon said jokingly

"That shit doesn't make sense Gord." He responded not comprehending the rumor

"Was just being sarcastic." Gordon corrected as he carried on with a serious tone "In all seriousness it could be some reservist I doubt a country called the 'empire' that was claimed to conquer most of the continent could lose all their troops at that stupid attack back at Akmola."

"Better or worse, shit like this is not what I would sign up for." Said Corporal Roza from the top gunner

"Oh come on Roza some things like this would make joining the Army ever so worth it." Gordon refuted

"What, did you enlist yourselves here and go to ranger school hoping some magic portal to another world in thin air or something?" He asked

"Well sir, I intend to pay my college once I'm done here, but moving on at least there is something less of a pain than a year ago when we are fighting for our goddamn life against tunnels appearing from the ground, scattered IEDs in the deserts, and the usual the Anthrax." He retort

"Honestly was hoping for downtime after all those bullshit but instead we got this fantasy geeks' dream instead." Uttered Roza

"At least we are lucky we are even here I'm pretty sure you can feel the salt of every Geeks, and Weebs alike." Said Gordon "That until some of them decide to pull their assets into their local military and there by any chance their nation would be part of this international coalition."

"Better yet when will the fuck the rest of the international coalition even gonna get their asses here?" Gordon moves on to wonder

"Not sure I'm pretty sure they won't even be here for a few months then European nationals and the union are cautious with their security, many of our allied nations in the Global War are still busy picking up pieces after the war including Kazakhstan's forces who recently reformed its government after years of under the rule of the GLA." Roza speculated

"So us and Chinese will have the monopoly in blasting the Empire till then? Here I thought we would be getting another Desert Storm." Said Gordon

"Getting an operation like Desert Storm would take a while since that gate is the only passageway and due to this one-way direction we don't even have the means to do a destructive encircle not to mention the time it takes for full capacity invasion such as that." Sargeant Tannen explained as he then carried on "We only recently won an eighth war. We have about 5,000 men currently 1,000 consist of US forces, and 4,000 consist of Chinese Forces"

"Hm you can always rely on the Red Guard to be the front" Gordon uttered

"For conceived fodder, these are not to be fuck with I tell you." His thoughts were followed up by Roza's

"Going to fight enemies with AKs, RPGs, and Machineguns with nothing but an old refurbish semi-automatic rifle and somehow beating the shit out of its nothing short but impressive, to say the least." Gordon commented

"With them, I'm sure all you need to defeat an army of Romans, High Fantasy Creatures, and Magicians is a small Red Guard unit with semi-automatic rifles and nationalism." Roza said jokingly as they chuckled "Makes wonder where the actual PLA forces are lately."

"Who knows? Probably operates in each Army of Red Guard unit but, we make due of what we got." Gordon shrugged "Well we can hope this operation doesn't end up as a disaster till then"

There patrol continued as they moved through the grassy plains as they were ordered to return back to base


West of the Imperial Territories

Imperial Calendar 687

It's been hours since the battle has started. King of Alguna watches as men of both his kingdom of the League slaughter as hellfire rains from the skies above landing in a great explosion killing many of their men. As they retreated a distance away from the defensive line of the enemy they rested as he looked on to the remains of men who charged at the front in the massacre their numbers dwindled from 50,000 men to a mere 10,000 as a result of this single charge.

Seeing the after the whole army began to believe they were doomed to fail against the enemies of the gate. It has been merely weeks or a month since the empire had invaded the other world however news of their defeat has come as to surprise to many however even with such failures they still underestimate the enemy.

When the allied armies are mobilized towards both of the Gates they believe the battle will result in a victory on their side however this confidence is shattered the moment the enemies first strike them from the distance with their weapons. They first believed their lower numbers would result in their defeat but they hadn't expected this army to be trained mages and with the magical advantage they wield as they shot them with blazing fire from the sky.

At first, the army could not believe this godly attack as they froze in their tracks on their first charge but as its attacks continued and their futile attempts to move forward it resulted in 4/5 of their army and the death of the Duke of the League Principality. Recognizing the futility of this attack the King of Alguna ordered a retreat and once away from the battle he believed this battle was over.

Although they had lived and returned to their camp after the defeat this sparked unrest in the remaining army as many were enraged by this defeat. This battle resulted in a massive loss of morale for the troops. Hours passed as this outrage from half of the remaining troops continued as the sun began to set and then began to start the night. Many of those men protested the defeat and many blamed the empire for forsaking them to the enemy forces but as it continued for so long then it began to grow rapidly

As he remained in his tent in the silence of defeat he was interrupted as suddenly yellings could be heard within the camp and then one of his men entered his tent as they reported mutiny within the army. As he exited and reached at center of the camp all he could as many of his men were slaughtered as the infighting began. He and many other of his remaining loyal troops attempted to quell this revolt however due to their relentless attacks and sheer numbers of enraged men he had no other choice but to flee away the camp

He and other men flee away in their stallions away from camp and they are a distance away from the chaos they begin to plan their next course of action

"My lord, it is of best course of action to return to the kingdom." Said of his guards "Most of the men have gone mad from this defeat"

"It will take only a few days if we reach back however we must make haste." "With many of horses mutinied our kingdoms are left defenseless in this state."

"With the otherworldly enemies west of our doorstep, the kingdom will soon perish if we don't rebuild our forces." Spoke another of his guard

"And what would our forces do against the enemy? A force of 50,000 could not even barely reach the enemy how can we with nothing left but a thousand at the castle do against their magic?" The king could say nothing as most of his guards expected an answer but it was interrupted as more explosions could be heard from the distance

"What was that?" Said the first of his guards as sweat could be seen by the warrior

"It must be the otherworld it appeared to be attacking the camp."

"Then we take this to our advantage Your Highness, we must leave immediately if more of them come" As they began to return their way to their kingdom their were as they could see lights from the distance

"What is that?" One of them questioned

As they looked towards the distance they could see what appeared to an appearance of a carriage however as they looked closer they stared in surprise at the carriage moving without force but then as they saw it approaching them at a fast speed the light began to grow bigger they panic as they turned to flee from the enemy

"It's them they have come for us." Said one of the guards as another responded

"But how could they have found us?"

"It doesn't matter we must escape before the king would be captured."

Their stallion sprinted as fast as possible however the enemy continued to gain a smaller distance as the light emitted the carriage was pointed at them but before they tried to think they heard a loud metallic popping sound as their stallion fell to the ground. There they were pinned to the ground by the weight of their horses as they tried to flee away however they could see the door of some carriages opening revealing the men of the enemy.

They appear to wear an outfit of light yellowish color similar to the sand of a desert and or shores. They welded their wands appearing to be made of steel and then they began to approach them menacingly. As some of the guards attempted to fend them off while pinned it was futile as they were quickly disarmed and then the wands were bash into their heads knocking them unconscious. The king watches as then one of them reaches him he can do nothing as the weapon hits his head all he can see is nothing but darkness.


Authors Note: Here goes the first chapter of the story, a quick note that most early chapters in the making would take place and follow the gate canon with most changes and differences mostly taking place from the Sino-American Forces perspective and the future interaction with the Canon Gate's JSDF as well as many of the Falmartians. Divergents of the story would take place in later chapters by the time both factions would settle in the regions. Critiques and suggestions are free in the comments, and due to my uncertainty and lack of research on the workings of the Military and Politics in fiction then you are also free to give ideas or fun facts and I am willing to give responses."
