The Cassette

Hello there. You probably knew what the fanfiction is about, so i'll keep this brief.

This story, as by the title, is about when the characters in Arknights (that includes NPCs aswell) are reacting to their alternate selves in Modern warfare. This is inspired by other stories in other fanbases that does the same thing as this.

However, i am not doing the way where the characters are magically transported to a movie theatre, even when they were doing their own business' (because that sounds messed up). So instead, i'm having our lovely deity: Nian, to deliver a tape of it to Rhodes island for our characters to watch. Sounds better, imo.

Anyways, that is about it. Enjoy the prologue.

The Doctor was seen walking down on the hallways towards the bridge of the R.I land ship. They were also accompanied with Kal'tsit and Amiya. The latter had informed them about Nian's return. Apparently the deity told Amiya that she has a special gift for everyone to see, including the leaders. Amiya was eager to see of what this gift is. Kal'tsit wasn't too fond of it, but was curious and went along.

The Doctor didn't know what to think, but they do want to know about Nian's gift. Was it something important? Or maybe just one of her excuse to visit the land ship again? Either way the three leaders are about to find out.

"So what do you think this gift would be?" Kal'tsit asked.

"Figures." The doctor replied with a shrug. "But i am curious of what the gift is going to be."

"Nian said that it was special. Not just for us, but for our operators too. So it has to be something nice." Amiya said, happily.

"Probably. I still don't get that girl." said the doctor before the trio made it to the bridge.

There they saw Nian with a bunch of operators that were with her. The Reserve operators were there, along with team A4, some of the Ursus children, those from Victoria, and even the LGD. Kal'tsit, Amiya, and the Doctor were all surprised by the crowd surrounding the deity. There wasn't even this many people when Nian arrived to tell Amiya. This gift sure could be something.

When they arrived to the lower deck, they saw Ch'en who noticed their presence as she turned to them. "Ah, you finally arrived."

"What's with all the commotion about?" Amiya asked.

"Same thing you're here, no?" Another operator entered, which was Bagpipe. "The Nian girl told us all about her special gift. We're very interested about it."

"Well, do you know what it is?" asked Kal'tsit.

"She doesn't want us to spoil to you, so it's best you three to go to her and find out yourselves." Ch'en said.

"If that what she wants." The doctor said before they, Amiya, and Kal'tsit head over to Nian. The Deity was currently having a short conversation with one of the A1 members, Lava. Whatever they were talking about, the purple-haired Sarkaz responded with an eye-roll before walking away.

Nian then spotted the leaders of Rhodes island coming to her as she smiles.

"Hey, you guys finally arrived." The operators that were surrounding her cleared the way for the trio as they approached to her.

"Let's cut to the chase." The Doctor said. "You told to Amiya that you have a gift that are exclusive for all of us?" They then gestured to all of the operators around them.

Nian nodded. "You bet it is."

"Well you got me curious, Deity." Kal'tsit said, crossing her arms. "Now where is this gift of yours?"

"Right here!" Nian said as she pulled out a large VHS tape out of her pockets, before lending it to Amiya. She accepted it but was confused, much as the Doctor and Kal'tsit. They had expected the gift to be something more special or atleast profitable, but apparently it is just a VHS tape.

"Is that it?" The Doctor questioned, which Nian nodded.

Amiya was then observing the VHS tape to find out more of it. When she flipped it, there was a writing on the middle. It reads "Modern Warfare."

"Modern...warfare?" Amiya read it out with a puzzled look. She wonders why is this cassette labelled about a type of warfare, and what is so special about it to them?

Kal'tsit and the Doctor then glanced at the tape. "Care to explain, Nian?" The former demanded. "I'm not following anything about this."

"Ah yes, how rude of me not telling. That tape may look like your ordinary tape, but it is not."

"Just get to the point."

"Right." Nian began. "I bring you this tape because it contains an alternate universe of Terra, which i call it 'the Modern warfare universe'. It is actually part of a video game franchise that is not native in this world." The leaders of Rhodes island raised their eyebrows (excluding Doc, since they still have their mask on). The other operators that were eavesdropping the conversation were confused, yet intrigued of it.

"Alternate universe?" Amiya questioned.

"Video game franchise, not native in this world?" Doctor followed.

"Can you explain more of this Modern warfare universe?" Kal'tsit asked.

"Oh, simple. It's Terra but with no Originium, Oripathy, and Catastrophes." Nian stated.

Most of the operators let out gasps. A world without those three is what they always dreamed of. Catastophres always causes colossal damage to the land, whilst bringing out its originium that causes oripathy diseases. Mostly the infected suffers from these conditions, and they were mostly discriminated and/or killed of by those that are un-infected.

It could be like a paradise.

Kal'tsit, Doctor, and Amiya were now intrigued of it, though the two formers kept a straight face while Amiya felt pretty ecstatic. "Wow, that sounds cool."

"That's not all." Nian continued. "It wouldn't be called an alternate universe without you guys in it. You'll be playing the part in the Modern warfare universe."

The operators were all intrigued by her words. Some were elevated to see their alternate version of themselves in this 'Modern warfare' universe. Even Amiya.

"Doktah, we should watch this. Can we?" Amiya excitedly asked as she held the tape tight.

The doctor exchange brief looks to Kal'tsit about all of this. She didn't mind and gave them a shrug. The Doctor turn back to Amiya. "Well, okay. We have some free time after all."

"Thank you, Doktah!" Amiya smiled, then give them a brief hug before pulling away after. "Now we just need to find a tape player." She said looking at the tape.

"I think i know where to find one." An operator said from the crowd. It was Vulcan. "I saw a spare VHS player by the factory i was working on. I think it fits the size too."

"That's great. We can use it with one of our big TV screens by the hangout area." said Amiya.

With that, the operators begin to leave the bridge, most feeling excited to see their alternate version of themselves in the Modern warfare universe. Vulcan then asked Spot and Noir corne for assistance to get the tape player, in which they obliged.

Amiya, Kal'tsit, and the Doctor was about to leave too, before the former turned to Nian. "You should come and watch with us, Nian. You can tell us more about this universe."

Nian put a hand under her jaw, thinking. "Ok then, but i'll probably stick around for atleast one chapter." Nian then followed the trio out of the bridge and made their way to the hangout area to watch the tape with the rest.

_____________________________________

Some time later, they were all gathered infront of a large screen TV with the VHS tape player by the front. Amiya, Doctor, Kal'tsit, and Nian were there. They still had the cassette with them as they wait for the operators that wants to join in with them.

Unfortunately, some of the ops couldn't make it here as they have other jobs to do or are occupied with something else. About the 30 operators that were by the bridge, only about 18 were present. Those being; Ch'en, Bagpipe, Dobermann, Fang, Kroos, Lava, Sesa, Vulcan, Spot, Popukar, Liskarm, Franka, Blaze, Greythroat, Noir corne, Yato, Rangers, and Folinic.

Various were sitting in couches, chairs or on the carpet floors. But some decide to just stand still and watch it that way.

"Man, i can't wait to see what role i'll play in this universe." Blaze said with an esctatic smile. 

"Are you sure you want to see this, Popukar?" Spot asked to the small Cautus by his legs, whom he was tasked by Orchid to look over.

Popukar looked up to him and nodded. "Miss Nian said it was based on a video game." Nian overheard the conversation and smirked.

"It may be a video game, but remember it is also based on war." Spot reminded.

"Yeah...but it is still video game though." She smiled innocently.

The Rebbah sighed, before leaning back on the chair he's sitting on. "Fine, whatever you say."

"I did not expect you to join in on this, Gramps." Noir said to Rangers.

Yato joined in. "Yeah, what gives, Rangers?"

"Well, Nian said this was some sort of war-based game of wherever it is from. I've shared a fair amount of battles and wars in my youth, so I'm curious of what this 'Modern warfare' universe has to offer to us." Rangers said.

After about a few minutes, they all stopped chatting when Amiya walk up to the front of the Audience with the tape in her hand. "I just want to say thank you to those that are joining us today." She said observing all of the 18 operators - and also Doctor, Kal'tsit, and Nian. "So, are you all ready to watch?"

Some of the operators exclaimed a "Yeah!" or "Yes!" while most gave her a nod.

All seems to be set as Amiya then went over to the tape player and inserted the disk. She then took the remote and hop over to the couch, sitting between the Doctor and Kal'tsit.

The screen was black for a moment before a letter I popped up with three small circles circling the letter in a fast pace, forming their own vortex. The Audience were a bit confused as eleven more words suddenly clashed into the I, forming two words as an odd sound cause the letters to turn green.

Nonetheless, the words read out "INFINITY WARD"

"Infinity ward?" Sesa questioned.

"What the hell is an "Infinity ward?"" Folinic said.

"Are they the ones that made this 'Modern warfare' universe?" Kal'tsit asked to Nian.

She shrugged. "Probably, probably not." The lynx narrowed her eyes on her before focusing back on the screen.

Then the screen changes to a bunch of more letters that were spinning around. A big letter, that resembles a letter V, came to the middle as it attracts the letters around causing them to spin around it like a tornado.

Eventually the letters grouped together as it resembles the word "ACTIVISION"

"Activision?" Spot questioned. "The hell are they?"

"Are THEY the ones that created this 'MW' universe?" The doctor asked.

"MW?" Kal'tsit raised her eyebrows.

"Short for Modern Warfare."

Nian then said. "Well, i think they're supposed to be like the Supervisors for the Infinity ward."

"So like a boss?" Amiya asked.

"Yeah, probably that."

"Hmmm..." Bagpipe narrowed her eyes to the logo. "Somehow that name gives me some bad vibes." She muttered.

Eventually the screen transits to a menu screen. The background was all foggy, grey and barely lit. There was a big title on the top labeled "CALL OF DUTY"

"Call of duty, ey?" Blaze said.

"That sure sound something based on the military." Dobermann said.

What lies below the title were three sections that has the words "Modern warfare", just like in the tape recorder. Though, two of them has the number 2 and 3, implying that this is a trilogy.

"So not only we'll be watching an alternate universe of ourselves, but we get to watch three of them!?" Franka said.

"This is great!" Kroos exclaimed.

Amiya then used the remote and choose the first one, since the other two was locked for some reason. Maybe because they haven't watched the first one yet, which they are about to. She clicked it as an annotation popped up, suggesting if they should start or not.

"Alright, let's begin!" Amiya shouted before pressing the start button, starting the Modern warfare trilogy.

Okay, that was the prologue of this MW trilogy.

I made this book because i was a bit bored and still thinking of the plots of my other story-driven books. So i gather the time to make this since i love Arknights and liked the story of the MW trilogy.

Anyways, see you in F.N.G
