General Neuville slapped his hand on the desk in front of his colleagues gathered in crisis."This is intolerable! No one can tell me where a shuttle disguised as a meteorite is right now!

But what really pisses me off is this. He pressed an icon on his PDA, projecting an image into the palm of his hand. Probably an implant...

We've got a destroyer or an interstellar cruiser quietly cruising around on earth we don't know where!!!
Nothing.
No tracks.
We saw it stealthily, for a few seconds as it rushed into the atmosphere... then... nothing!
You're not going to tell me that a ship as big as a 2,000-metre mountain knows how to disappear like that?"
Glasses-wearing assistants typed and surfed on a holographic databank.
"Well, Jean? anything new?"
"No, my general, but there are like continuous earthquakes in France! People are coming out, but they can't see anything..."
Neuville: "What nationality was Sacha Goldberg?"
"French, my general..."
"AH... at least, a clue... They're in France, but that country's always getting in our way, their interests first...
"Yes, according to French law, they're part of the global alliance, but they've kept their autonomy and their colonies, as well as the equatorial strip they bought in exchange for the transfer of populations and immigrants during the great droughts. "
Get my shuttle ready, we'll head over there and see. Toulon harbor, aerospace base...!
The alert was sounded and shuttles and drones were put on standby on the old continent.
1 day later, the general arrived at the base, greeted his colleagues and wasted no time.
The giant screens scanned everything that could be scanned, but then something happened.
"ALERT ALERT"
The orbital equator was invaded by a defense system and a spaceport to exploit the moon and meteorites, and to receive freighters circulating in the solar system [https://img.wattpad.com/18de729ec4167ceec1adcb07232c4d66b47bec0c/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f4b767458477158444a442d3165773d3d2d313336313738363732392e313737313134623264363036643535303533353432303137383634342e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
The orbital equator was invaded by a defense system and a spaceport to exploit the moon and meteorites, and to receive freighters circulating in the solar system.
Earth had made great strides since the union and the end of the wars, and above all the control of global warming and the reconstitution of the once devastated jungles and biomes.
Large quantities of water were also brought back in the form of ice meteorites, and this water was fresh. But here was the alarm.
A huge disk had just appeared at moon level, almost at the same spot where the crystal ship had appeared.
On the other side of the disk, the megacolossus and an armada of support vessels were clearly visible. Infectors and a special troop carrier.
Behind the ships, Alpha and Proxima Centauri were visible.
And painted on the ships, the Umbrella logo.
"Immediately send a warning message requesting identification".
The AI entered into communication with Dumas.
"This is the Earth Union Planetary Control Center. Please identify yourself and state your intentions."
On the freebooter-style deck, her intentions were all the clearer [https://img.wattpad.com/b9a385879c008c5922a559546987bbfec124f9ec/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f6a783650584f51527737784d46673d3d2d313336313738363732392e313737313134626265663836306336353332353331313533393931382e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
On the freebooter-style deck, her intentions were all the clearer. Surrounded by her monsters, the flesh-and-blood Ai taunted the land-based defense forces.
Dumas "General Neuville, I think that's correct. My little mice have paved the way, and now we're going to offer the earth a glorious future beyond all comprehension.
I hope that the return of the Colossus will be worthy of a long-awaited collaboration.
Neuville: "I can see that Umbrella has more than one trick up its sleeve and knows how to make a comeback, but we've learned from our mistakes and what happened 80 years ago must never happen again.
Dumas: "But I assure you... your crew is very much alive... And she turned to her right...
"Commander Teller."
The monster nodded.
"He has all his wits about him and would very much like to see his family or descendants again... The journey has damaged our friends a little, but everything is functional."
Neuville felt like throwing up when he saw how a human could be so horribly transformed.
"But, Mon général, haven't you met our messengers? "
Neuville: "Who are you talking about?" - visibly excited. Dumas could see it on the screen and was fulminating.
AI: "Warning, hacking test, old viral versions and unknown variations... Isolated virus".
At the same time, Dumas pursed his lips, realizing that his attack was being suppressed, they were 80 years behind in computing... fortunately.
General: "We're happy to know that you've mastered the portals. This could be the basis for a collaboration, but for the time being, we'd like you to stay on your side while our politicians debate your proposals."
Dumas: "But I assure you that the politicians will soon all agree."
Neuville: "What messengers are you talking about?"
Dumas: "Oh? You're losing your shuttles and even a destroyer? I'll be happy to come and get them for you!""
Neuville: "Do as you're told, and we'll review our position on Umbrella."
Then an officer came to disturb the general.
He put on a brave face: "Let's leave it at that!
Then he cut the line.
"We can't let this monstrosity get to Earth. We had to use H-bombs to secure everything 80 years ago."
"General... there's a shuttle. It looks like an older model but different. It's in the parking lot in front of the base.
And, standing in front of the door was a humanoid but obviously non-human creature.
She had long white hair, but her head, vaguely human if it had been, was now that of a beautiful white dragoness.
She was dressed in the imperial military uniform, based on that of earth officers.
Her inverted-kneed legs and long tail were partly hidden by a skirt extending the uniform jacket.
It was Sasha, transformed into a humanoid dragoness. In time, she would be able to regain her human appearance, partially as soon as her monster crystal had developed and her illusions could become tangible.
The guards were frightened and didn't know what to do. They recognized the uniform but not the creature.
What prevented them from pouncing on it was the other 20-meter creature, covered in dragon armor and carrying the imperial flag.
A car arrived and a high-ranking officer got out and rushed to the barracks entrance.

Silence fell and they stared at each other for a while.
Then he saw a KRG shuttle, still bearing its identification number.
The creature gestured slowly, raising its hands.
"General Neuville, it's me, Sasha, sergeant of the scientific section of the ARK colony ship and embassador of the Alpha Draconic Empire.
Neuville gestured to the soldiers to lower their weapons.
"Ambassador? Dragons? Alpha?"
Then Neuville frowned...
"We've made it clear! You've violated all our protocols and we've fully informed your chief Dumas."
Sacha interrupted.
"General, you haven't understood! Dumas and Umbrella are our enemies!"
Neuville: "You are her saboteurs, and her spies. She warned us of your arrival."
Sacha: "If it's Vidocq you're talking about, he's been reduced to pulp and not a single cell of these abominations has passed through the portal."
Neuville: "You're not Sacha... she died years ago..."
Then he turned to the dragon.
What are these...(he didn't dare say "monster") then 2 jeeps armed with machine guns arrived as reinforcements.
But Sacha remained calm.
"Let's just say the big dragon next to me is. my husband. And his name is Kroa. He's the brother of Emperor Mirmoelnir I, Wyvern Emperor of Alpha and the Central Continent."
Neuville: "Who sent you, and who are you?"
Sacha pulled out photos of herself as a human and the stages of her transformation.
"My husband here helped me transform so we could be a real family and I could carry his eggs."
Kroa was like a knight, but instead of a sword, it was a 120mm cannon mounted as a submachine gun. Basically, he could slaughter the whole lot.
"Follow me... and how do you speak our language?"
Sacha : "You speak English, but I'm French. And I know Marseille and Cassis and the jewelry shop in the grotto."
The general calmed down.
"So, Sacha... how? How come? Why did Umbrella turn you... they're monsters... and we're going to have to isolate you."
Sacha: "You lock up your ambassadors?"
Neuville: "Cut the comedy! Surrender."
Sacha snapped his talons and a suitcase with a radioactive symbol appeared out of nowhere.
Neuville: "How!" and he raised his hand for the soldiers to attack.
Sasha: "I wouldn't do that, General...It's the ARK's plutonium reactor... If a bullet hits it, I don't give a damn about you and the base... We'll survive!"
Sacha astralised, as did Kroa and the shuttle.
Neuville stepped through, as if he were a ghost.
"BUT... BUT!! you're a hologram!"
But Sacha pinched the general's hand a little.
"A touching hologram?"
Neuville stepped back, aghast.
Sacha: "I think you're a man of the field and a fighter, but as a politician I've known better. I think we'll stop here for now. We'll come back tomorrow if you have a government representative to receive us. We're not part of umbrella and the problem above your head is already being solved. What you see and hear...it's 80 years out of date. Umbrella is already being destroyed as we speak."
"Wait! "You can see them even from here, they're so big."
Sacha: "They're just images, artifacts. Like the light of a star that no longer exists when it reaches us."
The portal is destroyed. It's only an image! See you tomorrow, General!"
And Sacha and Kroa vanished into thin air.
The general looked around him. "Did you see what I saw? no?"
The soldiers nodded.
"What kind of technology do they have?
