=========================================
Pluto.
Troops came out of their underground barracks, along with dozens of utility vehicles and supplies. Hundreds of AMP-mechas appeared, carrying their standard 30mm electrothermal autocannons. with more supply vehicles ferrying more ammunition and sophisticated super capacitors made with graphene.
More hangars open as M-11 Mammoth tanks stroll out, joined by self-propelled ABM platforms and self-propelled Rheinmetall Oerlikon Millennium CIW platforms.
All troops wore the standard military EVA suit. The proto-suit, which was fitted with layers of titanium alloy, carbon nanotube, and keratin, made it bulletproof for 50-caliber ETC machine guns. for 20 seconds only.
It has a supercapacitor battery and can run for two weeks without being recharged. With recharging only taking 5 minutes, it's quickly refilled. and is also included with the back RCS thrusters.
Troops usually carry the M8A4 ScarZ, a battery-powered and gas-operated assault rifle. An ETC gun is designed to have a high muzzle velocity and high RPM. firing 5.56mm solid projectiles at nearly Mach 9 and at 990 RPM.
All soldiers rush out of their barracks, with more vehicles coming out of the giant barrack bunkers. with all troops given a supply of artificial adrenaline syringes. It is non-addictive and can last finitely until it wears off; it will help with these troops fighting an unknown force.
Tanks stroll to position as autoloaders load a 125mm shell. The commander is inside the commander compartment, looking through his mini-petascale embedded computer as he locks on potential targets, while the gunner also does the same with his own computer. as the driver stays there for orders.
ABM platforms aim their missile boxes skyward as their long-range radar retracts to spot and lock on any invading forces. while they are flanked by battalions of soldiers to protect their hidden positions on the mountains.

Pluto's orbit
is above Pluto's surface, 120 kilometers from it. Protect the 5 million remaining ships that are being repaired after being damaged.
Our screen flickers to the inside compartments as we are shown biological robotic arms assembling interplanetary invasion vehicles, pods, etc. while Shark and bugs march through the interior towards the bay of each dreadnought.
Each dreadnought carried more than 20 PIVs (planetary invasion vehicles). Invasion vehicles are 30 meters tall and 18 meters wide, designed for re-entry and so on, and equipped with two fusion drives on its sides for deceleration.
Each carried more than 200 bugs and sharks and three tanks. And the Admiral is planning to drop more than 100 thousand of them. Seemingly “Smiling”.
As the time came, telescopes on Pluto kept watching the ships as they noticed certain bays opening and multiple objects coming out.
These large objects are traveling retrograde... and performing a fusion burn as they decelerate and follow a linear, circular path to Pluto.
Pluto's radar stations counted each pod individually before the computers displayed the estimated number of these ships approaching Pluto. Nearly….. 2 million.
These Tadpole Planetary Vehicles descend as they pass by a specific point and are currently around 60 kilometers from the surface.
This was then, when the Battle of Pluto debuted.
ABM sites start locking on as they open their pods and come screaming out. Missiles that use RCS thrusters and thrust vectoring plasma rockets to destroy the invading alien vehicles with a high-explosive warhead
Over 20,000 missiles were launched, hitting a variety of targets. destroying almost 19 thousand invasion vehicles. Nevertheless, a large number of these PIVs still descend and are individually commanded by two shark commanders.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
The PIVs start and burn their side fusion drives as they slow down. Only for a quite before hitting the surface at mach 2 and creating large kinetic explosions all over the litten surface…
Troops in the vicinity of the impact sites are killed or severely injured as debris spreads out and begins to fall to the ground, revealing the aforementioned large alien dropships. Opening with a pressurized sound as gunfire came from it. surprising the troops as they race for cover. Some aren't as lucky and die after a couple hundred rounds.
“Fuck! Light em up!” Machine gun nests and covered troops opened fire with equal firepower as bugs and sharks came out.
When everything was at a standstill, the aliens began to deploy tanks, which changed the battlefield and accelerated kinetic warheads at hypersonic speeds to human positions. destroying the positions and killing the human soldiers stationed there.
In response, humans deployed their own tanks, supported by AT-crews from afar, as they fought closely in the suburban-like environment.
The alien PIVs were equipped with additional war equipment, like retractable unmanned 20mm autocannons,so they started to retract and open fire to support their invasion force of almost 100 million troops, with a centralized command structure divided into platoons, squads, battalions, and divisions. Because of the Terrans' semi-hivemind feature, everything was extremely well coordinated.
Human APCs drop off more troops into designated battlefields in open deserts of pluto or urban areas.
5 weeks later
2 kilometers from the capital of pluto
“Fucking shit! We're getting overwhelmed by these bugs and sharks!” The lieutenant of one squad shouts through his suit while in a comms channel before he stops shooting and gives out an order.
“Fall back! At this rate, the base will be overwhelmed! We must retreat to the 2nd trench lin-” The lieutenant was cut short as incoming alien fire ricochets off his shoulder plate as he crouches to avoid it. Putting light dents into his suit as he returned fire with his M8A4 Short barrel assault electrothermal(ETC) rifle.
They proceeded to the second trench line alongside other platoons and squads as the sharks and bugs advanced towards the plutonian base of operations. Where Kanaya was while being constantly bickered at and informed of the current status pluto
“General! Industrial city Augustus has fallen to alien hands!”
“General! The third trench line has been overrun by alien forces!”
“General! The Charon shipyards have been destroyed by alien ground forces!”
“General! The troops are running out of supplies!”
Kanaya was in the war room as she was constantly getting reports from her assistants. A thread of muscle formed on her forehead as she slammed the table so hard that she made a slight dent in it.
“Shut up!” she shouts as she sits back down and proceeds to dunk her hot chocolate.
“I'm tired of this shit! I've been suffering from sleep deprivation and have been relying on ration bars as a source of consumption! But what I want to know is the estimated casualties; what do we have with that commander?” Kanaya asks as he huffs.
“Sir, the estimated death toll on both sides, excluding any space engagement, has been numbered at nearly 20 million deaths, 60% on the alien side while 40% are our casualties.
But this is severely negated general! The aliens still number 89 million troops, with our numbers dwindling to the single digits!”The commander says that while he experienced goosebumps and a slight tremble around his body, the fear inside of him was noticeable.
As Kanaya processed the information and crossed her arms, she was getting tired of this shit as she sighed.
“Well, i guess we will have to fight till the end i guess….Do your best everyone, we have to buy enough time for the USA to assemble the USS-Venture star in the Lunar Orbital bushyards.” She says as she dismissed the meeting, with all commanders and captains going there separate paths to continue their strategic planning to give more time while The Base of Operations was being assaulted…
The Battle of Pluto was, of course, streamed by satellites still operational and drones small enough not to be detected around the battlefield. And of course, soldier video cams.
These live shots transmitted to the “interplanet" (basically the internet) of quantum entanglement live feeds were being watched 24/7 as the battle with these ugly bugs and sharks was horrifying. And sometimes psychologically difficult to combat, as these things resemble the paranoia of this generation's perception of alien movies made in the early twenty-first century.
3 months later...
After battle after battle, after annexation and annexation, alongside a couple of orbital strategic bombardments, the battle of Pluto concluded with an alien victory as they overwhelmed the Plutonian base of operations, and General Kanaya and her commanders were executed from the spot once the war room was breached, while she accepted her painless death while smoking her vape.
The total casualties experienced by Pluto and Charon exceeded almost 43 million deaths on both sides.
Though some form of human military remained, they starved to death as supplies weren't coming in for weeks due to the lack of a supply chain from the inner and outer planets. Adding to the casualties
For some reason, the Terrans (aliens) did not begin to terraform it like before. But instead, fill its orbit with artificially grown biosatellites to produce more soldiers. while also awaiting the third wave of Terran reinforcements.
These biosatellites seem to be factories that produce sharks and bugs. Well, their initial bodies, as we've only seen their outsides and external features. Unfortunately, the Terrans' identity and origins will be revealed later…..
