"Alright let's begin.." The Tech. Paladin said. "Alright, prepare the signals and enable that signal tower at The Elipse!" He continued before the other employees began working. "Alright contacting Legacy Base at Earth's moon!" He implied as a masked figure enters the room.. "Uh sir.. It's ready." The Knight guard said as he stares at The Roria (Leader not Faction)
"Sir, Its them." One of the operator notifies the officer that is currently on the communication area of the base. "Get him to the monitor and call our proud leader." He commands as two of the lab coats get a move on and the giant screen on the room, shows the masked figure.
"No time no see my friend, how are you." He starts off now clear to see that he had the iconic symbol of Aurora, one of legacy's "officials" security firms under its control. "Seeing that you are able to contact us, I assumed that you are operational there on earth." He continues as you can see that from his decorations that his a seasoned veteran and now turned to an armchair general.
"I am Alfonso acting leader of what's left of my company and acting communications director of the whole moon." He introduces himself, with a commanding and prideful voice as he waits for their responds.
Washington Bunker
"Hmm...Well..We are operating as nominal...Following the rules of Protocol-7 which dictates "Kill the hostiles and contact Legacy"..He implied as his mask's breathing cyrindical like breathers exhale visible air. "Now I would like to check the status of Roria personnel within your facility.....I've heard that some went to there during "The Accident".." He said as his mask's visor slowly glows.
"Oh and I've heard of that little thing in Boston.....Quite....Fascinating." He said as he shows a visible drone footage of Fort Zeus.
"The black mountain." He chuckles a bit. "They have been legacy's favorite guard dog since the beginning, the best thing about them is that they embrace being one." He comments. "For your men station on the moon their been under my control for quite some time." He answers
"Good, I will begin an frontal assault on the intruders....I'm just here to make sure those people from Boston don't send a missle howevering towards your little base." He sarcasticly said. "I have provided a live drone footage if you are looking to watch the show.." He says before ending the call..
Meanwhile in the battlefieldA message was sent in morse code to the Roria Network: .- .-.. .-.. / .-. --- .-. .. .- / -... ..- -. -.- . .-. ... --..-- / .--. .-.. . .- ... . / .-. . .--. --- .-. - / - --- / - .... . / -- .- --. -. ..- -- / -.-. .... .- -. -. . .-.. .-.-.-
"Virginia Bunker reporting..."
"Colorado.yeah..yeah! Can we shoot some stuff now?"
"Florida reporting...."
"Texas is here..."
"Alright Boston and California is out...Nevada is also down...Let's begin..PROTOCOL NS1198!"
"Hey wait it's The Missisipi!"
"Pensilvania...reporting.."
"Let's do this quickly we still have to contact Philipines and Japan after this."
A loud explosion that can be seen in these states would erupt. Followed by deafining siren (Which can be heard everywhere in US). Soon enough it all begun. "This is The Roria do not be afraid, approach your nearest F.O.B or police station for help...And folks...were sorry for being late!" This message was heard from all working radios. Texas was rushed, the troops employed "The Blitz" from World War 2. They pushed the opposition westward but there was gate meaning they would literally keep coming out. Pensylvania was bombed with airstrikes as calvary with rifles, dominated the battlefield. Florida was slowly being captured as it did not have a lot of me but they only secure 2 outposts and a police station. Missipi went with the same as Texas. Virginia, ruled by snipers and fooling the enemy to think the whole world was firing at them. Colorado had problem.
"I apreciate the enthusiasm commander but, your not the one rushing to control of the ol state." He gives out an erie warming before the doors slides open revealing a man sporting a casual business outfit. Alfonso step out of the podium to make room for the man. "Sir, one of our cells has assumed communications with us." He briefs him as he gives a small bow, surprisingly showing some signs of respect and fear at the same time.
"Good morning or should I say afternoon." He starts off. "Give me your situation Roria." He continues, despite seeing him for the first time, the man seems dead serious and would not entertain idle chatter. "And have you engaged with the United Alliance To Maintain Peace?" He ends getting straight to point.
"Our status is.......Very good we have captured more than 3 states..And Pensilvania is half captured..." He said as he slowly sits on a chair. "No, besides we have connection with their resource department...I think they might give us some materials require on rebuilding America.."
"Oh and why do we have no permission to "Engage" I'm afraid a bunch of people already did that.....I've heard of a broadcast by say.....The UN?"
"The UN's dead, I've made sure of it." He responds as he crosses his arms, showing signs of aggression. "As for permission to engage, I have no care with what you hit as long as you hit what I want." He continues with the same tone as always. "I want you to make sure that you hit and capture the following objectives." He continues to explain.
"Objectives that we are going to send to you." He follows as the operators on the consoles on the sides sends you a list of objectives, that mostly are below or on past academic cities that legacy used to own.
"Of course you are not the only ones, tasks with taking them." He adds. "You will face various organizations all pursuing the same objectives but, to make sure you all do, those that capture them will receive aid and weapons that we have in the location that will aid you all in your own agendas and goals." He ends his explaination waiting to see what their response.
"Easy....I can have my sentinels do as that..And since Legacy is a good friend of ours we can add some squadrons of Knights and paladins to help them.." He said as he looks at the list. "Well we already were going some after this...that one in pittsburgh is giving us trouble.." He said looking at the list
"And what other organizations?......I'm a little interested.." He said staring at the screen.
"Many." He said before leaving after saying what he needed to say with the same tone and serious nature. Alfonso steps in the podium "I propose an alliance for now representative of Roria." He proposes . "You've been late in the game now and you will need my eyes and expertise." He explains, and stopping to make sure you agree before giving out too much.
"Yeah sure.. Oh it looks like we just got captured Missisipi's gate 1 and troops are establish an outpost there.." He says while looking on a pad "We both gain benefits so yes..I accept he says.
Meanwhile..
"Alright so we will shall see what is in this gate!" Cody says as he looks at Missisipi Gate 1.. "Alright remember to get you masks on, there might be some nasty stuff in there!' Helen says as the sentinels enter the portal
As they phase into the structure, a world full of iron ores, diamonds and other various precious minerals blessed their eyes. As stalamites of diamonds and gems greets them. What they saw can instanly rival the earth's remaining raw material deposits and could in turn lower the price of any precious material in the market, in other worlds this discovery could change the world forever.
"Good." He answers as he hears your responds. "I will give you a little boast commander." He continues. "My field operatives have spotted that the black mountain has found one of the labs that legacy has in the Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve located in Idaho." He says as he sends in some satellite images of the location. "Find out what you can and if possible secure the location." He ends cutting the link for now.
"Guys we are being called back..says we gotta something in old Idaho." Lucy said as turns to the gate "Alright let's send a mining team..." Helen said as they exit the gate and into a helicopter which will take them to idaho "Alright we should be there in..."
10 minutes later.
"Hey were here grab your laser rifles!" Shaun said as he looks the monument... "Alright squadron move in!" They say as they look at the direction of the Legacy lab
The barren land of the preserve was seemily endless as the soldiers continues to move on. Until a shot went thru one of them, launching him meters away from his initial location. The relentless heat and light from the sun was making it almost impossible to locate the shooter.
Soon, another shot reels in narrowily missing Helen a few inches away and by the looks of it the assailant was relocation between shots. Though this suggest that the shooter is only one person and that he/she was alone.
"Bob No!" Cody said as he looks at the killed paladin . Helen also took note of the bullet. "Alright everybody thermal readings on!" Helen said as their visors glow. "It's too hot to even find a humanoid reading!" Shaun shouted as they look for the culprit.. "Guys I found it!" Lucy said as she aims her scopes at the sniper..
As she shoots her laser beam incinerated the assailants scope rendering him unable to fire back accurately and retreat out from their range. Though all was not fine as the man was able to escape from the engagement and could have warm the others of Rorian presense.
The sniper was gone and out of sight but, the signal of the station was still visible and present the thing is that the group was already standing on it. But, there was still no signs of any life in the area or any structure. But, nearby the sounds of a engine roaring can be heard but, its fairly far away.
Soon, the group founds out that the sniper wasn't lone at all as from the dunes emerges ten of them all pointing at the group.
As the mining team started drilling into the surface to get into the abundant deposits, the sounds of orcs and other various creatures eminant from the surroundings. And after one of them ventures off he was able to see a pillar of smoke coming from below them. Seeing a large settlement of orcs and other various creatures just below them.
He rushes to them to stop and turn off the drills. So that they won't be found, but was all too late as the drill sets off alerting the settlement below. The flapping of wings can be heard before a pterosaur like creature flies near them and with it, its orc rider dismounts his eyes fixated on the miners. He draws his blade at the miners and starts charging into them, followed by its mount which uses its beaks to implale or stab them.
"SOMEBODY GRAB THE GUNS!" The chief miner said as they fired with their non laser guns. "Alright were here!" A squad of veterans say as they fire at the bird and the orc. "GET THE MINERS OUT OF HERE!" Their little leader say as the miners rush to the gate
After the first ones died off. Several cries erupted as, several of the flying monsters emerged from the different tunnels, swarming the veterans as they chip away at their armors with their massive beaks. The orc riders soon, dismounted as they chased the miners that were fleeing.
"Ahh! It's eating my Assault Armor!" The veteran said as he pushes his hand at the beak slowly squeezing it before firing with his laser pistol.He rolls before taking care of the orcs that are chasing the miners The veterans were flanked, 2 of them were impaled "Alright let's run! Faster now!" The miners quickly rushed for the gate three were killed. "Get in now!" The veteran yelled. They quickly exit The Gate. "SHUT IT DOWN!" The miner chief said as he jumps out. The gate was closed.....
The gate fails to closes as the console doesn't do anything but, display the error sign. Soon, hordes of orchish horde outside scattering the miners and opening a new front in america. These orcs with their mobile mounts attacked the miners and the rorian veterans sowwing fear and chaos around the gate.
"Get in!" The engineer knew that the gate controls are disabled so he snuck in and gave them to go there but he was force to smash the portal to make sure that they did not get in. Trapping the veterans inside.
As the gate starts to scatter, the controls starts to re-animate back to life as the once malfunctioning monitors of the control panel starts to display the error sign. Soon, the tide of orcs stopped as the iconic blue whirlpool that the gate had was now engulfed with cracks.
The control soon displayed that a feed back is on way as the attempt in destroying overloaded the gate itself. "Massive feedback and rebooting of the gate is underway." A robotic voice annouced as the gate, begins to physically discharge electricity around it.
Meanwhile inside The Gate..
"Leave them..." A shadowy figured spoke. The orcs turned as the mysterious figure pulls out a crossbow. Sniping them...one by one, flames erupts from the killed orcs.
The orcs soon, felt not because of the shadowy figure but, by the what they call the "Feedback." is underway. The terradon riders flew away why the grunts make their way away from the portal with the unlucky ones vaponizing them as their bodies fall prey to the lighting bolt erupting from the gate.
"State your name...human." The figure said. The veterans were confused as they believed the invaders called humans 'World Eaters'. "Stan of Roria Unit 75.." He replied the shadow figured puts back her crossbow "Your what they call military...well we do not harm humans we only kill those who gets in our way...I will guide you to a camp far away from this place.." He said as a giant mechanism emerges, it is attached to a small carriage. "Take seat, and do not be afraid of the centurion."
The miner looks in awe at the large machine. "Who are you?" The man asks in shocked as the centurion starts pulling the carriage. "This and what do you want from me." He quickly adds as he goes ot the corner of the carriage where he begins begging for his life. "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!" The man replies with fear for his life.
The centurion halted, "I am not a threat, I am merely a transport commisioned mechanzied construction" The centurions looking back marched again, the supressed footsteps allow for no large sound. The mysterious figure pulls away her hood, Her golden skin almost seem as a source of light. And she spoke: "I am Althea of The Explorer's Guild we came here looking for crystals we found attuned." They then see one of those crystals. It's white glaciers illuminating the dark caverns.
"Whenever someone touches..well they can't we are finding out why." The woman prompted reaching for her waterskin and taking a sip.
He watches in awe as the mechanical creature begun talking. Introducing itself, then the crossbow man that saved or captured him introduced herself. "And what do you need me to do, mine it?" He says, as he points it at the cystal that Illuminates and separates them from the darkness. "And explorer quild?" He asks in confussion, the crystal that illuminates the cave was awe inspiring but, the mechanical beast was much more interesting.
"No, we can't even try to get the thing out. It seems like you can't touch them." She spoke pointing her finger at the crystal "Even the orcs tried, I am part of the explorer guild, we wish to study the cavers here. And save unlucky humans.The woman puts her waterskin back
He was quite confused with the girl’s statement let alone, a rock that has the power to repel anything and anyone from it was strange and also a bit of a challenge to someone that hits it with a pickaxe. “She you’re telling me that this rock is shy and it doesn’t want anyone to touch it?” He says in disbelief as she watches her put her water skin back to where she got it.
Still the thing that got him the most was that they seem to be good-ish as he sees the image of orcs burning right in front of his eyes. “And what’s the explorer’s guild?” He continues with the same tone and disbelief. Well as much disbelief that he can muster before believing in unicorns and Kim jong un’s demi-god statue.
"When you touch the rock or try to mine it you feel, regret and cold. You feel it being repelled.!" She yelled as she stares at one. "The explorer's guild is founded by an the commander himself, we were studying how you people got here and if there is a surface in this cavern." She spoke. The mechanical droid went slow as it saved fuel: "Homebase is near." It spoke, it's cold static voice echoing through the tunnel it entered. "Looks like we're nearing home, Aldanian will guide you back to another gateway once we're there." The woman smiled
"We also have human food which we found recipes in while scavenging." The woman sat and reaches for a book. The title could not be made out, it was written in a strange alphabet that did not resemble english in any other way.
He was caught off guard when she said they were studying how they got here but, in his knowledge he knows for a fact that they were the first ones that was able to get here and that they were also the first to attack. But, he was weirded out by the way the girl explained the feeling as it watches her overly and passionately describe it. “A nutjob.” He thoughts to himself afraid to voice it out seeing the prowess of the adventurer.
After the explorer gave him a book, the miner quickly acted like he can understand it flipping the pages and acting he knew how to read the language. Nodding his head a few dozen times to confirm that he can understand it. Curious on what their home will be as he doubts that this ore rich world that they were conversing is their home. Or could support any form of life.
“And while scavenging!?” He says, alarmed as it suddenly though of the strangest thing that these monsters or other worlders are able to speak and understand their languages and learn their recipes. “How do you know how to speak English?!” He eagerly asks wanting to know the reason for the strange ability of the lady.
"Eng?" The woman said, confused. "Our language was developed that of the first civilization..or so they say." "They were people who made contact back then they were betrayed and they learned the invasive species' language, they adapted it as it was far organized"
Soon enough a large building could be seen in the distance, it's lighted gates would dot it as if stars in the darkness. The mechanism stoppped and it would enter a stables like for them. A man would then approach the automaton and opens it head. Revealing a overheated skeletal frame. "WE GOT SOME REFUGEES OPEN IT UP!" She yelled. Mechancal chains would echo as the metal gate opens.
"Refugess?, Invaders us?" These questions and many more popped out of his mind. He was confused and wasn't exactly following the girl explaination but, seeing that he was already a few meters outside the facility. He gave up and dicided to follow and found out everything that he needed to know.
All was fine when she opened up the machine that was bringing them their and was shocked to see its real body. "OH MY IS THAT A PERSON!" He yelled out caught offguard by the insides of the mechanical servant.
"What, no!" She yelled. "Come on, Aldanian will answer your questions." She said. Aldanian would approach the miners. "Well met humans.." "I am Aldanian ruler of The New Dawn, please to meet you in our home."
He looks out the, seeing the streampunk theme décor and unknown colorful artifacts. He was intrigue, he would be loaded if he was able to get his hands on one of them and sell it back to the mercenaries. He would be loaded and he would be able to make his dream house, fill them with chicks and many more of his darkest desires. “To you too my lady.” He responds his mind fixated on his price.
"Well, welcome to our camp, we have basic provisions and beds, after you help yourself, if you wish we could send you back to your world." He said, many housekeepers would approach them and urge the miner to follow them. They traversed the camp and into a medium house, one could see other humans and most of them had the label "Mojave Rangers" in their shirts. The keepers opened the door.
It revealed a small table with a small steampunk centurion serving drinks to humans, the humans were chatting about how the orcs were making peace with the humans and how they have to work together to defeat an empire which have just arrived on Titania.There were two doors on the side, one led to a small room with beds and the other with some sitting area where humans and citizens of the new dawn alike are chatting.
He looked around the area noticing the strange architecture and strange items of the area he has find himself in. “Where am I?” He said to himself as he takes in the scenery with confusion and awe. Then this strange creature greeted him and welcomed him he didn’t know it was the ruler but, before he could respond an army of helpers started appearing and dragged him to an odd common like area. Where members of his species are in conversing with these strange creatures that are speaking in English.
After looking around he decided to gather information, of course strange new land with Roria having no clue or information, he would surely be loaded if he comes back with it back to his organization. He was greedy and that was normal for him. He wanted money no he needed it, he followed through to his plans as he rushed to the Mojave rangers.
“Where are we, and what are they going to do to me?!” He says in a rush acting all confused and panicky.
"I don't know." Said the ranger. "We were just investigating these guys when we fell on their portals, their not hostile, they even helped with livestock back home." The ranger spoke. A group of New Dawn maids would approach him, and offer him food.
Aldanian approached him "Say, where do you come from?" He asked, his calm voice would sooth nearly everyone.
He sighs with the answer. He went to the rooms seeing a bed where he wanted to sleep. With exhaustion he falls to the comfy bedding tomorrow he will find something but, for now its time to rest.
SUMMARY- The roria took control of different states with the exception of Florida
- The New Dawn supports lost humans long before the alliance
THIS TOOK PLACE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE CURRENT EVENT
