Savanna Naval Base, Sylvanya
5th October 2036
2000 Hours
It was a vast night in the Savanna Naval Base. The country was transferred into this strange world just like the United Earth Federation. Ships made from steel, equipped with massive triple barrel guns. This base was huge, filled with ships which were considered 100 years old ships for the United Earth Navy. At the navy headquarters near the base, an elf was standing in front of the window, looking out at the vast sea. He stared at his ships and thought about what was outside their territory. Another elf came inside the room while holding a letter.
“Admiral Eldrin, we just received a message from the carrier, SVS Guardian. They said that they found a naval base in the Batan Sea. There are three Battleships there but we have no more information about those battleships. Should we launch an attack because the strike group has a total aircraft of 200 which is enough to destroy that island.” the elf said Admiral Eldrin.
“We lost all of our overseas territories and we need it now.” Admiral Eldrin sighed and sat down at a table “But we need more information about those islands. If we successfully invade the island, we need to find if there are any mana stones there.”

It was a bright morning and the flight deck of the SVS Guardian Carrier was filled with planes and crews. The strike group consisted of 6 destroyers, 4 light cruisers, 3 Battleships, and 2 aircraft carriers. On the bridge of the SVS Guardian was Admiral Feykin who was in charge of the strike group. He just received a message from Admiral Eldrin to launch an attack on the naval base which was Pearl Harbour. Admiral Feykin saw this and went to the meeting room inside the island structure.
“Today is the day that we will control new lands. We lost all of our overseas territory. We need mana stones to power our kingdom.” Said Admiral Feykin.
“But sir, we don’t know the enemy’s ships capabilities yet.” one of the torpedo fighter squadron leaders asked.
“This attack is the answer.” Admiral Feykin replied
“But, what if a war broke out between us and them” he torpedo fighter squadron leaders said
“Hmm, we still have powerful mages at the capital city who can protect this kingdom.” Admiral Feykin replied “Enough of this, start the operation now!”
All the pilots understood the mission’s goal. They went to the flight deck and one by one, all 150 planes were launched from both carriers.

It was a lovely morning in Pearl Harbour. The base was protected by a lot of air defence systems with railguns being the most advanced of them all. It was the day that the United Earth Navy’s 1st Division carrier strike group left the port to meet with the 2nd Division Strike Group at Sylvaran. 4 star Admiral William Harrington, the person who will be in charge of the carrier strike group, met Admiral Davidson. The crews of all ships in the strike group started making their way to their assigned ship, totalling over 15 ships, consist of 6 Resolute Class Destroyers, 4 Arsenal Class Cruisers, 1 Admiral Class Battleship, 1 Bermuda Class Hypersonic and Ballistic Missiles submarine, 1 Freedom Class Cruise Missiles submarine, 1 Washington Class Ballistic Missiles submarine, and 1 Retribution Class aircraft Carrier. Admiral Harrington gave Admiral Davidson a salute before boarding the UEN Retribution (CVN-101). Admiral Davidson walked to the headquarters and entered the combat information centre.
Headquarter, CIC room
Inside the combat information centre were a lot of radar operators who would be monitoring the air space 24/7 when one of the radar operators shouted “Warning! 150 planes detected, 200 miles south west from the base!”
“What? Another Pearl Harbour attack after 95 years?” said Admiral Davidson
“No time to talk about history, Admiral Davidson. I want 10 F-15EX Strike Eagle with each equipped with 10 ARM-101 Air to Air Surface Missiles, Now!” said General Samuel McCoy, a 4 star general of the United Earth Airforce “Protect the base at all cost.”
“Sir, we just received the satellite images and they appeared to be WW2 planes?” one of the radar operators said.
“Hmm, WW2 planes, huh?” General McCoy confused “How can there be a country here which is currently in the 1940s? Just send the planes now. Activate all of the base air defence systems.” said General McCoy.
“Yes sir.” After this, one of the crew inside the CIC room started to activate all of the defence systems “All 20 500kW laser systems and all 30 CIWS systems have been activated, ready for engagement.”
At the air strip, pilots of the F-15EX Strike Eagle started entering their jet. The weapon handling personnel started to equip each plane with the right number of air to air missiles as General McCoy ordered and loaded with ammo for the planes’ guns. One by one, each plane started to take off and once they reached the air, they formed into 3 different teams.
F-15EX Strike Eagle Squadron
110 Miles southwest from Pearl Harbour
“This is Scar 0-1, you copy?” Scar 0-1 asked all the other pilots.
“Copy, this is Scarl 1-1, the radar scan showed that they are currently 60 miles away from us. Targets are ready to be locked on.” Scar 1-1 replied back.
“This is General McCoy as I speak. E-3 Sentry has detected 15 enemy ships. According to the satellite image, 3 WW2 Battleships and 2 WW2 Aircraft Carriers were there. I have sent 5 J-35, each carrying 4 AGM-119 EX Cruise Missiles to destroy the carriers and 4 TU-160 to destroy the remaining ships. General McCoy, out.”
“Copy that General.” Scar 0-1 replied back.”This is Scar 0-1, I advise all of the pilots in J-35 fighter squadron to increase your speed to Mach 2.8 to meet with us”.
“Copy that.” Falcon 1 said to the radio “This Falcon 1, we are currently 50 miles away from you.”

“Copy that.” Scar 0-1 replied back.
After a few minutes, the J-35 fighter squadron finally met with the F-15EX Strike Eagle Squadron.
“This is Scar 0-1, I got visual on the enemy’s fighters. I advise all of you to lock on target and engage at this distance. Target locked, fire!”
All of the 15 F-15EX pilots locked on the Sylvanya’s torpedo bomber squadron. Over 150 air to air missiles had been fired from the squadron. In a blink of an eye, all 150 torpedo bombers were destroyed due to the air-to-air missiles being too fast, reaching a top speed of Mach 2 within seconds of firing.
“This is Scar 1-1, all of the enemy's planes have been shot down. The rest of the mission will be on the J-35 Fighter Squadron and TU-160 Bomber Squadron. RTB.”
All 15 F-15EX fighters started making their way to the base and as for the J-35 fighters, they still had their mission active which was to destroy the strike group’s two aircraft carriers. After a few minutes of flying, J-35 Fighter squadron had visual on the Sylvanya 5th Division Carrier Strike Group.
“This Falcon 1, we had visuals of the enemy strike group. Our primary target is the carrier. Target it!” After this, the head up display of Falcon 1 locked on SVS Guardian. He pulled the bottom of his control stick and all 4 AGM-119 EX were fired. Falcon 2 and 3 fired their missiles at the SVS Guardian while Falcon 4 and 5 fired their missiles at the SVS Victory.
The missiles unexpectedly hit both carriers despite the anti aircraft gunmen’s effort and their flight decks were severely damaged. SVS Victory suddenly exploded due to fire reaching the weaponry room which stored bombs and torpedoes.
“This is Falcon 1, both targets have been successfully destroyed. Return back to base.”
While they were heading back, 4 TU-160M continued the mission to destroy the strike group.
“This is Swan 1, we have visuals on the remaining ship. Commencing fire.”
All 4 TU-160 started to lock on the remaining fleet. All four bombers opened their internal bays which carried 16 AGM-119 EX. After a few minutes of exchanging fire, all of the ships in the fleet were destroyed or sunk.
“This Swan 1, all targets have been destroyed. I got visuals on survivors. Returning back to base.

It was an early afternoon in the NewPort Shipyard of the United Earth Space Force. Inside the shipyard were two carriers under construction. There were skilled, highly trained workers everywhere, constructing the new space carriers. Mr. Parker, chief of space operation, was there, walking while observing the construction when he met a Vortarian Engineer.
“Oh, Hello Mr. Parker. Are you coming here to check the construction progress?” The engineer asked.
“Yes. I felt sorry for you, Mr. Gorman. We tried everything but we still couldn't restore the connection.” Mr. Parker replied back
“It is OK, things happen. The construction of the UESF Admiral and UESF Retribution are currently in normal states. I estimate that the construction will be complete in 7 to 9 years.” Mr. Gorman, the second lead engineer of the Super Space Carrier program “Today, we will install the quantum slipstream drive and the Nexus Engines. I am really surprised that humans manage to create space engines that are comparable to ours.”
“Thanks. The war really pushed us to our absolute limit in building these carriers.” said Mr. Parker.
They were talking for a while when one of the staff of space operations came up to him while holding a phone. Mr. Parker picked up the phone and it was General McCoy. They were talking for less than a couple minutes before the conversation ended. He gave back the phone and continued his discussion with Mr. Gorman.

“Sir, Odin has scanned the land and we found several WW2 naval bases in the east of this continent.” The Odin Operator told General McCoy
“Odin has scanned every new continent and there aren’t any signs of WW2 naval bases until these.” He said while he was looking at the live video feed from one of the cameras installed on Odin “I need to confirm that it is OUR enemy’s naval bases before we initiate the orbital laser.”
“Yes Sir” After this, the Odin operation started confirming and after a few minutes, he said “Sir, it has been confirmed. Thye are the enemy’s naval bases. There is one base that is the biggest among all of the bases. The laser and the nuclear warhead from Odin is enough to destroy that naval base. Should we retaliate back?”
“The bill has just been passed yesterday and it said that we have the authority to retaliate back to any nations that attack us first. But, we need the chief of space operations to use the Odin as it is too powerful.” After this, General McCoy called to Mr. Parker, Chief of Space Operations “Sorry to interrupt you but we need your authority to use the Odin. Is it possible?”
“According to the bill, I must say that we had no choice but to retaliate.” Mr. Parker sighed and said “You have my permission to use the Odin” he continued “Since Pearl Harbour is also a crucial naval base, I suppose there is an Odin controller there”
“Yes, there is an Odin Controller here. Anyway, thank you sir. Bye” After this General McCoy told the Odin operator to fire the laser and nuclear warhead at the naval base.
Savanna Naval Base, Sylvanya
0900 Hours
The Savanna Naval Base was still active, filled with warships everywhere, ranging from Battleships to as small as torpedo boats. Admiral Eldrin was there, inside the headquarters, waiting for the response from the carrier strike group. A captain came into the room and delivered him some bad news. He looked at the letter which contained the messages sent from the carrier and his eyes were wide open “What? How can his majesty accept this news? The carrier strike group was destroyed by 9 planes?” his expression started to change “Our enemy is stronger than expected.” he sighed and looked at the dock.
Suddenly, a bright red beam appeared out of nowhere and started destroying every warship. There were elves and humans everywhere started panicking, running for their lives. Warships were melted into liquid metal and liquefied mana stones were everywhere on the water. Admiral Eldrin looked at this event as it was happening with horror on his face. Suddenly there were large explosions everywhere and the explosion destroyed the landscape completely. Odin had fired laser and nuclear warheads at the naval base with no mercy at all. The ground started to shake violently, earthquakes were everywhere due to the nuclear warheads’ explosion, sailors ran for their lives while they were seeing their friends die from the laser and the earthquake. Odin continued using its laser to finish its job until the base was destroyed. After around 20 minutes of firing its laser and nuclear warheads, it stopped because the naval base had completely become ruined.
The headquarters of the base were far away from the main port so it only suffered minor damage. Admiral Eldrin stood up and looked at the base with horror and a scared look on his face because he had never seen such destruction before. Admiral Devin Lampeth,a human, came into the room and asked Admiral Eldrin what was going on. He looked out and saw that the base was destroyed with fire and smoke everywhere.
“What had just happened, Admiral Eldrin?” asked Admiral Lampeth.
“It is probably the country that we planned to attack. What kind of magic is that?” said Admiral Eldrin.
“I don’t think it is magic. Even all 20 of our best mages in the kingdom can’t possibly do that kind of destruction.” said Admiral Lempeth.
“We need to report back to the imperial capital about this event. This situation is not good. We might have made a mistake attacking them.” said Admiral Eldrin while he was looking at the port.
At the ports, medic were everywhere, saving as many lives as they could. Sailors cried when they saw their sailors burned bodies from the fire. Smokes were everywhere, liquified mana stones leaked from ships, melted metals were everywhere on the water. The mountains that surround the base collapsed, creating landslides. Cracks on the land were everywhere from earthquakes caused by the nuclear warheads. Mages started making their way to the port to heal the injured sailors.

“Sir, ODIN has successfully destroyed the enemy ports including all of their ships, what do we do now?” said the Odin operator.
“Excuse me, since we retaliate back, I think it is enough. We should sign a peace treaty with them. I don’t want any more wars.” said Admiral Davidson “I want the 1st Division Carrier Strike to set course to that country and sign a peace treaty with them.” He then continued looking at the big screen that showed the Savanna Naval Base currently under fire.

The Capital was filled with lives consisting of elves, humans, and demihumans. HPeople were going to work, a market filled with people buying food and supplies for their daily needs. Cars were driven by people in every corner of the city. Railroad connecting the imperial capital to other major cities. In one part of the city was the Royal Palace where the royal family lived. Inside the main room, was a human sitting on a throne. He was the king of the Sylvanya. He was sitting there, waiting for news from the Savanna naval base when a man came into the room.
“Your Majesty, I have bad news from Admiral Eldrin and Admiral Lampeth” said the man.
“What is all of this hurry? And tell me the news.” said his majesty.
“Yes, your majesty. Savanna naval base has been destroyed by the country that the torpedo bombers were supposed to attack. We aren’t sure yet. ” said the man
“What?!” His majesty stood up from his throne in a shocking state “Savanna Naval Base is our biggest naval base. How can it be destroyed so easily?”
“The base was destroyed by a beam of red light. Admiral Lampeth said that even all 20 of our best mages can do it.” said the man
“Hmm. This country is more dangerous than we thought.” His majesty said back on his throne “we shouldn’t go to war with this country.”
“Yes your highness” after that, the man left the room.

The carrier strike group had left the port for over 1 hour and they were still on their course for Sylvaran. Inside the UEN Retritution’s commander bridge was Admiral Harrington. He was standing there, looking at the vast sea when one of his subordinates came to him, handing him a letter. He looked at it and was surprised.
“Admiral Davidson has ordered us to go to our enemy’s naval base that we attacked earlier?” he continued “All right, set course for the naval base. Admiral Davidson has sent us the location of the naval base.”
After this, the carrier strike changed its course from going to Sylvaran’s capital city to going to Savanna Naval Base in Sylvanya Kingdom.
