Chapter 3
The New Gate
"Have we've done the right thing?"
[November 4, 2048]
--Research site, California, United States
Upon touching the dome, the wind suddenly became stronger, the sky was covered with clouds with frequent lightning strikes and thunder sounds. The dome was shining and a large voice shouted.
"Oh, hear this, all humanity! Both of you have accepted renewal! Let me tell you this... This new gate, the gate that We've opened for both of you may change the destiny planned by the Almighty One. Salvation comes! Oh, hear this all humanity!... THE GATE HAS OPENED!"
Everyone was stunned on what just happened.
Then suddenly... Dragons flew out from the mysterious dome. Goblin creatures march like armies exiting the dome, the sound of horns heard throughout the world - Danger lingers...
"Everyone near the dome! RETREAT!!!" Shouted Mc'Kenny on His two-way field radio. As Mc'Kenny ordered, everyone near the dome retreated, some even rode in their vans.
The goblin army continues to march forward, revealing more and more on their increasing numbers. About 20 dragons flew above the goblin army, encircling them.
Then finally about 100,100 goblins stopped marching, then they split into two columns: 50,050 goblins on the right side and the same on the left.
The goblins shouted loudly while the horn was being blown by some goblins at the second to the back row - It was very loud, like a continuous thunderstorm. Then a human wearing a robe - as clean as white, walk towards the center of the goblin army.
"Ahaloudly, bisoice Ahonow ato Allo!" The human shouted, He widen His arms and looked above the clouds, the clouds thundered.
"Where is your leader!" The human shouted loudly, even though He is far away from Mc'Kenny, Sarry and Maverick they can still hear Him clearly.
"Where is your leader!" The human shouted again.
"W-what should we do?" Maverick told the others.
“I don’t know what just happened, but unidentified beings have just come out of the dome…If I remember correctly… This is one of the factors on launching operation 51.” Mc’kenny told himself.
During the time when NASA had first launched the humans into the moon, the United States Government had just realized that contacting extraterrestrial life is inevitable and to be prepared on what’s to come, the military have made preparations on what to do if an unidentified beings or objects have been found near and inside the United States.
The military can launch operation 51 if they have identified unidentified objects near or inside the United States.
"We'll do operation 51" Mc'kenny told Maverick.
"Well since this area improves our equipment on its sending and receiving capabilities, we will use this for our advantage. We'll call the pentagon and do operation 51!" He grabbed His mysterious gadget that looks like a phone and pressed a button.
After waiting for 3 seconds the gadget suddenly vibrates.
"Operation 51!" He shouted towards the gadget.
"Identification needed..." Said the receiver.
"Password123!"
"Ah… What level of threat sir?"
When launching operation 51, the general can execute different kinds of codes, to identify its level of threat.
Code Blue – if an unidentified object is identified from a satellite, the military and its scientist will focus its attention to that object.
Code Violet – If an unknown communication has been identified from one of the satellites, the military will call their scientist to identify the source.
Code Indigo – If a source of intelligence is found in any source (Private research, NASA, etc.) Congress or the president should be called to perform any immediate action.
Code Orange – if an unidentified object has made contact, the military can deploy 5,000 soldiers and 3 recent technological inventions to the site.
Code Red – The military will be set to prepare for war.
Code Black – The deployment of the army.
"Code orange." Mc’Kenny said.
"Completed."
***********
"Where is your leader!!!" The human shouted again.
"W-what should we do..." Maverick whined again.
"Hush, I'm thinking on what to do..." Sarry replied to Him.
“This are unidentified beings… Maybe aliens? I don’t know… ARGH!!! I wished the president was here, he can control the military with ease…If no one steps in towards that ‘human’ then more likely so, those ‘creatures’ will rage towards us… I don’t even know if they are that strong compared to our 1,000 soldiers that are protecting us right now, but since those soldiers who have been deployed by operation 51 isn’t here yet, then there is a possibility that our soldiers can’t handle this ‘creatures’…Wait for the operation 51 soldiers or face this ‘creatures’ whom we might not know their strengths… Maybe it’s best for…”
"I'll go..." Sarry told them and started to walk forward towards the human.
"Wai--" Maverick was about to say something but was interrupted by Mc'Kenny.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
"Hey! It’s dangerous!” Mc'Kenny told her.
“They are threatening us! If no one steps in, those creatures will rush towards us… We don’t even know their strengths… We should aim on negotiating with these creatures… That will be a win-win situation for us all.” Sarry replied.
Sarry continued walking towards the human. The goblins armed themselves as Sarry was walking towards them.
"Ahh... Good!" The human said with delight.
"Are you the leader of this place?" He continued.
"Sadly no... Our leader is not present, due to some circumstances... I'll be the one representing our leader."
"Oh... Is this circumstance you're referring to is not about... Hiding your leader, right?"
"Ahh... no."
"Then why are all of you late on responding my call?!?..." The human responded angrily.
"We we're greatly at shocked of what just happened..."
"By the fabulous might of our army perhaps? Haha!"
"No... Literally on what just happened."
“Hmm…?”
“From the sudden appearance of that dome, to these vastly enormous creatures!”
"Big dome???... This portal your speaking of??" The human replied curiously.
"Portal? Ah... you mean this big dome?"
"Big dome??? You mean this big circle behind me?"
"Uh... Yes..."
"I see... They're completely ignorant about this portal..." The human told himself.
"I see..." The human said.
“Well… Since you have troubled yourself to bring this creatures with you here… What have you come here for?”
"This might be troublesome, because what I will declare is something big, not even a mere subordinate like you can handle it." He continued.
"And what may this declaration be?"
"That the kingdom of Ashford will invade this kingdom!” Sarry was shocked by his announcement.
"This portal behind me connects our world, Mirth and your pathetic world. We are planning to invade your kingdom, utilizing its resources and such." He continued.
"And what will happen to us?" Sarry questioned.
"Slaves of course!"
"..."
"Mhmm... Now, shall I begin the war declaration?"
"Uh..."
"Snap!" The human grabbed a magical knife and threw it directly on the kidney of Sarry.
"I... Ugh... cough W-what is the cough meaning-g o--f t----his..." The wound is so severe that She was coughing blood.
"What better way to declare war, if I made the subordinate of the leader badly wounded? Better than rejecting our war declaration... no?"
“…Y-y…”
"Hhmmm…. Maybe your one of those useless subordinates… HAHAH!... I’m sorry for letting you suffer like this! I thought you are one of those important subordinates… HAHA! How foolish of me… Here, please forgive me by making your suffering end. ---” Just as He was about to kill Sarry, He was distracted by the bullet that aimed at Him, luckily He avoided it.
"W-what was that!”
"Retreat as fast as you can!" Mc'Kenny shouted at Sarry's two-way field radio. Sarry followed what Mc'Kenny ordered Him to do. She walked away slowly because of her major injuries.
"Fine I will let you live!" The human shouted at Sarry.
The human chanted while pointing at Sarry. "Ahwindoh hailoh atho heroh."
Then suddenly a massive wind blew Sarry away from the human, Sarry landed harshly in front of Maverick.
"Medic!" Maverick shouted.
"Sir! Squadron Operation 51, land defense order has arrived!" The soldier said to Him via His two-way field radio.
"Don't worry Sarry... Our soldiers will handle this..." Mc'Kenny told Sarry. Sarry smiled and closed Her eyes.
Mc'Kenny grabbed His two-way field radio and began ordering. "Raise the alert level to Yellow!"
"Yes, sir" They all replied. About 5,000 soldiers rushed towards their front and formed a defensive formation, then 3 laser equipped jet planes flew towards them.
Mc’Kenny and the others escaped towards the nearby building.
“Sir!” Robert Johnson, the general of the operation 51, greeted Mc’Kenny.
“Take care of the rest general…” Mc’kenny told him.
“Yes sir.” He replied while saluting.
He walked towards the soldiers.
“Since we don’t know their strengths, we will not do anything foolish… While the general and the secretary escapes, we the land defense of operation 51 will protect this area and give them time to escape.” Robert shouted towards the soldiers.
“Hoh!” The soldiers replied.
*************
The human raised his hands and pointed towards the soldiers. “WE ARE TASKED TO KNOW MORE OF OUR ENEMY!... BUT EVEN SO! DON’T GO EASY ON THEM! SHOW THEM WHAT THE C-TYPE MONSTERS CAN DO TO THIS PATHETIC BEINGS!” he shouted.
The goblins shouted in a loud roar and started to march towards the soldiers, the dragons who were hovering above them also followed.
*************
“Those beings below are wearing metal armor and a shield” General Robert told himself.
*************
“Oh, ho! They have flying lagoons in this world!... and they are also wearing full armor! Covering all of its body!... If they can manage on putting an armor to the flying lagoons without hindering their flying movement then… I think that I underestimated them a little bit… Hahaha! But not to worry! Our flying lagoons can breathe fire hotter than a volcano and since our flying lagoons are not wearing anything that can hinder, they’re flying movements they can easily escape those flying lagoons that they have… But the problem is that ‘ball’ they are holding below… I need to be cautious.”
The flying lagoons that the human was referring to was the laser jet plane that the United States army have researched for a long time. Part of its structure is a normal jet plane with some slight additions. Below it is an add-on, shaped like a ball and it’s covered in metallic white.
The add-on is served as a machine to shoot out lasers, due to its circular structure it can rotate 360 degrees.
As the goblins and the dragons drew closer to the military, the human point his hands towards the military and ordered the goblins.
“Archers! Chant your magic, aim it towards their soldiers! Make sure it penetrates!”
As the human ordered, the goblins who were stationed at the back aimed their bow towards the sky and chanted. The tip of their arrows began to glow purple, and then they released it…
“Arrows?!?” General Robert shouted inside his thoughts.
“Everyone! Do the flip formation to avoid the arrows.”
As general Robert ordered, the soldiers split in two sides to avoid the arrows that are heading towards them, but the arrows who were about to reach the ground suddenly followed the soldiers.
“W-what is this? Arrows that have been controlled? I-it’s--- IMPOSSIBLE!”
The arrows that we’re following the soldiers began penetrating to some of the body parts of the soldiers… Of course, some soldiers were protected from their baseplate, but some arrows penetrated their arms, legs and even their head.
From the 5,000 soldiers, 1,356 of which are wounded and 2,000 we’re dead from the head shot caused by the arrows.
“Flying Lagoons! Aim below towards the beings!” The human shouted.
The flying dragon began to breathe big sums of air.
“The flying beasts is doing something suspicious… we’ve got to do something to distract them.”
“Air defense aim your weaponry to those flying beasts and release it!” Robert shouted towards his two-way field radio.
As the general has ordered, the jets aimed their lasers towards the dragons and released it.
But it didn’t even hit the dragon, not even a little inch… The dragons we’re protected by some invisible dome that is surrounding the entire body of the dragon.
But as intended the flying dragons we’re distracted and canceled their magic.
“Release the flames!” The human shouted.
The flying dragons began to breathe air again.
“Do it again!” Robert shouted.
As the dragon was about to shoot, it was killed by the laser beams emitted from the jets.
The dragon fell towards the ground, the ground shake and destroyed the near area.
“What!!?” The human shouted.
“What!?!” Robert shouted within his thoughts.
“Air defense… rotate above the flying beasts…” Robert shouted at his two-way field radio.
The jet planes hovered above the dragons and did a clockwise rotation movement.
The goblin army is now at close range of the army.
“This is the time boys! They are now within the range of our guns! All remaining troops… Aim your guns towards the beasts! Aim for the opening in their heads…” Robert shouted at his two-way field radio.
As the general has ordered the soldiers aimed their guns towards the head of the goblin army and shoot it.
Because of this, many of the goblin army have been killed due to headshot.
“They killed a ‘D’ class flying lagoon with one magic cast and killed our modified goblins… Hahaha! The Elders we’re lying about this world not having magic. Hehehe… The king will be pissed…Ohhh~ Such joy!~ The elders will beheaded! Now, now… Not’s the time for this…”
“RETREAT!”
“the observation is now complete…”
As the human ordered the goblins and the flying dragons retreated.
The soldiers we’re completely confused on the sudden retreat and halted their shooting.
“What… The… Fuck…” General Robert said to himself.
