Chapter 1: The Gate Incident

Geneva,Switzerland

Unknown Base

January 15 1990

It is a bright sunny day in Geneva.

Hundreds of personnel are just doing their usual work around the surface area of the base and the Swiss people are minding their own businesses.

The 27th Xenonaut Infantry Division is stationed at the subterranean base.

This division is equipped with advanced ballistic weapons and laser weaponry.

Sergeant Deacon is walking around the underground base in the alps while drinking his cup of freshly brewed Cappuccino.

He stumbles upon his commanding officer, Colonel Dietrich Schumacher.

Deacon quickly finishes drinking his coffee and salutes to his superior.

Dietrich: How are you Sergeant?

Deacon: I'm fine sir!

Dietrich: So how do you feel about this base Sergeant

Deacon: It has it's ups and downs but I'm just doing fine here sir, although it's becoming a bit boring here after we defeated the xeno scum"

Dietrich then points to the disciplined Xenonaut Cadets marching while holding their M4 rifles.

Dietrich: Look at those men and women Deacon, they are marching valiantly and gallantly to serve for all of Humanity"

As they watch the cadets marching across the base an advanced unmanned combat vehicle is being repaired after experiencing an accident caused by one of the cadets accidentally firing an Alenium Rockets towards the tank. The tank is called a VH-2 Scimitar and is currently equipped with a 150mm Laser Cannon. It is reinforced with an alien alloy called "Cydonium" and is effective as 5 feet of solid steel.

Sergeant Deacon then leads his new CO to his new designated unit called the Desert Scorpions which is a size of a division.

Somewhere in Bavaria,Germany

Major General George Barnaky is behind his desk reading reports of unusual activity in the general vicinity of the base "Base Warden" and is near the Swiss City of Geneva.

It is already adding more stress to him because his superiors are already pressuring him to recruit more men to bring the fight to the alien scum and other mild inconveniences happening at Base Warden.

He turns on his high tech slim computer and relays a message via "e-mail" to Brigadier General Dekker.

"Brigadier General Dekker, send a research team at the designated location and inform the local police department. Send me any available intel that you are able to find and bring me anything wierd that catches your attention". The email then is sent through an advance system called "Internetwork" or for short, Internet, designed by a genius called Dr.Snidely.

Brigadier General Dekker has received the message and has ordered his men to mobilise and prepare to secure and contain the area. He looks at his brand new smart watch and thinks about how Mankind has advanced so fast because of the alien invasion.

Near Geneva

11:35AM

A few hours has passed and Dekker's men arrived at the site and has began to erect camps and the research teams begin to wander around and analyze and recover anything that they can find.

As the research teams scoured the site for any clues to what is making the unusually high energy reading they are detecting, the ground then began to shake violently and the teams are beginning to panic and run away as fast as possible.

"Oh shit, hurry let's go now!" screamed one of the armed guards

"Wait!, the earthquake is not that strong and maybe we can find something valuable for research near here" exclaimed one of the researchers. "Or maybe we have activated some kind of device" said by the leader of the team.

"Over there!...something is materializing!"

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

A guard shouted

"Stay frosty men, this is somekind of alien attack"an officer whispered to his men

A gigantic gate began to materialize quickly and a bright flash occurred blinding most of the team temporarily.

"Oh god what is happening!!" screamed one of the guards

"Petrov grab that machine gun!" Ordered one of the officers

The guards that were assigned to the team then positioned themselves behind some makeshift barricade and saw what seems to be a giant structure with a very bright light emanating from it.

They can hear screams, marching and loud clanking of metal coming from inside, the team then began to contact Brigadier General Dekker and send live footage of the current situation.

Base Warden

1:55PM

Brigadier General Dekker is taking a rest on his chair when a loud knock suddenly waked him up.

???:Sir we got a situation!

"What kind of situation?" Dekker replied and says "Did one of the cadets cause some mayhem again?, if so, I'm gonna lose my mind. The higher ups are going to give me another penalty"

"No sir, it's more serious and I can't believe what I saw earlier" the staff member said and hands out a tablet to the Brigadier General showing what is happening at the site.

???: Sir, the teams the you sent is broadcasting this footage right now. There seems to be a giant arch right there and it is glowing brightly

Dekker: Thank you miss but can you tell me what's your name?

"It's Amelia Callaghan sir" she replied

Dekker: Thank you Amelia for this information, you're dismissed

Dekker relays a message to Major General Barnaky about the situation and has odered his troops to be on high alert

Geneva,Switzerland

2:20PM

The research team and the guards stare quietly at this massive gate preparing to shoot at anything hostile that comes out of it. The Swiss Army has been informed about this threat and has sent a battalion of troops and an armored brigade.

As the bright light coming from the gate starts to fade, a loud roar can be heard and thousands of unknown creatures and humans who appear to wear armor and wield weapons similar to the Roman Empire exited the gate and charged at the teams.

Everyone at the site is shocked on what they are seeing and then the leading officer of the team, Captain Becker shouted "OPEN FIRE!!!"

The Xenonaut Detachment began to open fire with their HK G36, AK 47 and M4s at the incoming invaders.

While they are outnumbered, they can outgun them with their Light Laser Machineguns and Alenium RPGs.

Thousands of weird creatures which look like goblins and orcs begin to swarm and approach the detachment.

Captain Becker, leading a number of 200 men is the only one equipped in the detachment with a Laser Rifle tries to rally and postion his troops in the hills and thinks about his next move.

Invader's POV

Colt Formal: Look at this landscape its so beautiful!

General: Yes milord, soon this gorgeous mountains shall be in the hands of the Empire.

Colt Formal: You're right General, but first we must deal with this mysterious defenders in the hill over there.

Colt Formal then looks at his telescope and sees this men in weird clothes and armor equipped with this black rods that fire continous beams of light at his legion.

He then orders his loyal officers to send in the Dragons and Wyverns

Then suddenly, multiple roars can be heard from the gate as hundreds of wyverns and a dozen of dragons exited the gate and zoomed into the enemy forces

General: Finally, we can now repel this pests out of the hills.

As the Imperial Forces advance towards the Xenonaut Detachment. A couple dozen of Alenium Guided Rockets were fired from the Xenonaut camp killing almost half of the wyvern force and a couple of dragons.

General: What in th-(The General gets shot at the head by one of the Xenonaut Snipers)

Colt Formal: Get down they can kill you from afar!!

The Count then replaces the dead General with General Kilo, a famous cavalry General within the Empire almost winning in every battle in which he fought at.

Colt Formal: We are getting bogged down here General Kilo and the archers have been obliterated by this deadly explosive magic that cannot be even compared to the skillfulness of our mages, order all of the cavalry to charge to end this once and for all!

General Kilo: It will be done milord

The General then hops onto his horse that is wearing an armor made up of gold with ornaments which shows that this specific General is well respected in the Empire.

He then ordered his cavalry and prepared for an all out attack.

General Kilo: Men, I hope the Gods are watching us because this will be the greatest battle of our lives

(Of course almost all of them will be massacred by the Xenonaut Detachment)

Once the first wave of goblins and orcs were eliminated, the cavalry Immediately began as the sound of trumpets can be heard.

General Kilo: CHARGE!!!

All of the Imperial Cavalry charged at the pinned Xenonauts and a close quater combat is about to begin.

Xenonauts Camp

Petrov: I'm running out of Alenium Power Cells sir!!

Wong: Need some mags here!

Rodriguez: We're gonna get overrun here Captain!

Becker then thinks of a plan to how will they escape this fustercluck.

Becker: Wong, get to the radio and request for air support and the rest of you conserve your ammo, We are initiating a tactical retreat...Let's go!

Captain Becker then escorted the research teams into the trucks and they begin to evacuate the area.

Base Warden

2:43PM

Amelia: Brigadier General Dekker, the troops are under heavy fire and are requesting permission for air support sir.

Dekker: Permission granted, show those savages our absolute superior technology.

As all of this was happening half a dozen X-37 Corsairs that was doing patrol changed their trajectory and headed towards the battle.

The X-37 Corsair is equipped with 2 Plasma Cannons while equipped with 4 Plasma Missiles

This is Dager-5 we are approaching designated targets over

This is Romeo Bravo, permission for air support has been granted over

Roger that Romeo Bravo, beginning strafing run

Invader's POV...again

"What's that over there!"exclaimed by one of the wyvern riders.

"Yeah I can't see it well it's too fa-" the other wyvern rider is cutted off by a massive explosion caused by a Plasma Missile

A couple of this beams of moving light heading towards the other wyverns.

The wyverns tried to evade this moving light but it kept getting followed by it and meeting it's own demise.

The Imperial troops on the ground have their jaws dropped as they saw this fast moving swords that moved elegantly as if flying with no effort.

While the air battle is happening, General Kilo and his cavalry is now a couple of meters from the retreating Xenonaut Detachment and all of them then unsheathed their swords and began their final push to wipe out this men in weird clothes. As they approach they are met with ferocious and heavy fire from the retreating Xenonauts and two thirds of them are already mowed down.

He manages to get near one of this group of men with a MP symbol written on their helmets.

He tries to stabs one of them but realizes that it didn't do anything to them

General Kilo: What the...what kind of armor do they possess!!!

This Military Police is wearing a special kind of armor provided by the Xenonauts, this armor is called Wolf Battle Armor.

The Wolf Battle Armor is made out of Cydonium and can withstand .50 cal rounds, lasers, and plasma bolts.

After his failed attempt to kill one of them he is then shot with a laser pistol and falls down laying dead on the mud.

The remaining stragglers are picked of by the X-37 Corsairs.

The Detachment is able to withdraw safely and there was even no casualties.

This ends the first battle between Earth and the Empire

Colt Formal seeing this mysterious foes retreat march towards the nearest city that they saw....Geneva
