Ch. 2: A Meeting Between Two Worlds!

(A/N: Just like in the old story, there will be two GATEs with two different names. The GATE from the Alternate Earth is Arnus Hill while the GATE from the Parallel Earth is Alnus Hill. Hopefully this won't cause any confusions.)

(Opening Theme Ends)

==========

Currently in a makeshift army tent which is the command center for the Imperial Army, there is a blonde man sitting in a makeshift chair designed for royalty.

The person sitting on the makeshift chair is a man by the name of Zorzal El Caesar.

He is a Prince of the Saderan Empire who is waiting for updates on the expedition sent through the GATE. Updates in which he is being impatient over. 

Prince Zorzal showcases the typical attributes of a tyrannical leader with delusions of grandeur, displaying cruel and oppressive tendencies driven by an arrogant, selfish, irrational, violently moody, extremely debauched and narcissistic personality. He is incapable of any sense of true honor. Friendship, love and altruism are concepts alien to him, believing that other people exist only to obey, honor and please him, without the need to give something in return - making him unable to be sympathetic for anyone. In short, he's a psychopathic man child who thinks he is the center of the universe and that it is his holy right to decide the fate of everyone around him.

Zorzal is the embodiment of the Empire's delusional belief in its manifest destiny of universal supremacy. He has always been fascinated by the culture and history of the Empire, probably because he identified himself with the emperors of the past, which were generally authoritarian, tyrannical, ruthless, extremely determined to pursue their agendas and inclined to take anything they wanted through acts of war, territorial expansion or by bullying the vassal kingdoms. From a certain point of view, he can be considered a fanatic chauvinist, since he's very proud of his nation's achievements (especially the more brutal and bloody ones) and he's a firm believer in the superiority and invincibility of the Empire. 

So, when he received reports of the appearance of the GATE in Arnus Hill, Zorzal saw an opportunity he'd been waiting for in order to increase his own status and popularity into to possibly becoming the next Emperor. Without wasting any time, Zorzal would ask his father to mobilize the Empire's military to march through the GATE to seize possible riches and new slaves for their Empire.

At first his father, Emperor Molt Sol Augustus, refused as he wanted more information on the other side of the GATE. However, he was eventually convinced by his Generals and other prominent Nobles to allow the expedition through the GATE. Like Zorzal, this was an opportunity they cannot afford to lose. Granting Zorzal his wish, Molt would order the full mobilization of the Empire's military as he would call upon his best generals and brightest of nobles to go through with the expedition. Over 60% of the Imperial military would march right through the GATE.

Zorzal was pleased at this. If he could conquer the other side of the GATE, it would help bolster and solidify his position at being the next Emperor. Only, 40% marched through while the remaining 20% remain in order to protect him. But he was still confident as he can win due to the sheer numbers he has in his expedition. To him, nothing could go wrong as he was in command of the greatest military force in the world with the best and brightest Generals leading the charge.

It would seem that all was going according to plan... at least it was supposed to at first. 

It wasn't even 30 minutes, but suddenly things began to go downhill immediately. Just after the expedition marched through the GATE, very few came fleeing back. When he saw their conditions, he was both disturbed and horrified at the looks of insanity on their faces due to their injures. Many of them were deathly pale as their skins was peeling off and their hair falling off. Many vomited a lot of blood as they either died of their injures or were horrifically disfigured.

When asked what happened, the survivors spoke in a terrified tone that the GATE had opened to a world where there is nothing but death. They spoke about a green fog surrounding the area and how it was poisonous. Nearly everyone died as they were consumed by the poisonous gas as those near the GATE fled due to the mass amounts of deaths.

At first Zorzal didn't believe them and wanted them executed for cowardness but decided against that as he ordered the remainder of his army to stand guard at the entrance of the GATE in case of more foreign enemies come through. As that was happening, he called for reinforcements in order to stop any potential threats. Sure enough, just three weeks after the attack, a foreign army emerged through the GATE and set up a defensive perimeter around the structure. Zorzal's Imperial generals felt confident that they could stop the foreigners due to the fact they outnumbered them 3 to 1 and so they ordered the charge.

What happened next was nothing short of a massacre. 

They don't know how it happened, but the foreign army possessed what seems like magic the likes of which they have never seen before. They couldn't even get close to them as they were all slaughtered like a meat grinder. What was even scarier was their so called 'steel giants' who flew in the air and massacred their dragon force before turning their attention to their ground forces. Their magic users tried to cast spells to stop them, but they were too fast and maneuverable in order to attack them. Plus, they were the first to be targeted and killed due to the potential danger they possess.

Faced with little choice, the survivors of the Imperial military retreated back to Zorzal's camp.

Currently inside the war room, Prince Zorzal is sitting on his makeshift throne as he was drinking wine. Surrounding him are his Generals, Captains, and Lieutenants who are currently discussing the situation at the GATE.

They were all suddenly stopped when an Imperial Soldier entered into the war room and kneeled down in front of the prince.

Imperial Soldier: (kneels down) "Your majesty, I bring news on the front lines concerning the GATE."

Zorzal then turned his attention to the soldiers.

Zorzal: (glares) "Speak. What is there to report?"

Imperial Soldier: "The reports states that the battle near the GATE has been lost. The GATE is now fully in the hands of the foreign enemy. " 

This shocked the Imperial Leaders as Zorzal stood up from his seat.

Zorzal: (glares) "WHAT?! That is impossible! You're saying the Imperial Amry I sent in to guard the GATE has been wiped out?!"

The Imperial Soldier gulped in fear as he gave a nod.

Imperial Soldier: (nervous nod) "Yes your majesty. There is a survivor with me who has returned."

Zorzal: "Bring him in."

The Imperial Soldier bowed as he exited the war room. After a second or two later, two Imperial Soldiers came in as they were accompanied by an injured soldier with burn marks all over his body and his currently missing his left arm.

Zorzal: (glares) "What happened out there?"

The injured Imperial Soldier spoke in a terrified and traumatized tone.

Imperial Soldiers: (terrified) "It was nothing like I've ever seen before your majesty. They have what looks like steel Elephants and steel Pegasus. Their soldiers cast what looks like fire from their hands that explode on impact. However, that's not the worst part. Apparently, they brought with them what looks like giants made of steel who can fly in the air. They were so fast and maneuverable that we couldn't keep track of them. They decimated us before we could even have the chance. We couldn't even get close to them!" 

The injured Imperial Soldier continued on with his mad ravings as the Imperial Leaders in the room looked at each other in worry. Zorzal listened to his words and glared murderously at the man for his cowardness.

Zorzal: (glares) "So you deiced to run instead of fight?! Guards! Take him away and have him executed for being a coward! Let him be an example!"

The two guards grabbed the man as the injured Imperial Soldier pleaded for mercy as he panicked.

Imperial Soldier: (panic) "NO! WAIT! I'M TELLING THE TRUTH! BELIEVE ME! HAVE MERCY ON ME YOUR MAJESTY! I DON'T WANNA DIE! NOOO-"

The injured soldiers screamed in terror as he was being dragged away for execution. With that said and done, Zorzal sat back on his throne as he rubbed his forehead on the information he was given. The Imperial Leaders in the war room began to talk to each other about the recent events, worried about what kind of enemy they were facing.

Suddenly, they were interrupted again when another Imperial Soldier came in and kneeled down towards the prince.

Imperial Soldier: (kneels down) "Your majesty. I bring you important news. News that you might be very well interested in."

Zorzal: (annoyed) "What is it? This better be important."

Imperial Soldier: "Your highness, we believe that we've found the last remnants of the Warrior Bunnies."

Now THAT got his attention.

Zorzal: (surprised) "Have you really?"

Imperial Soldier: (nods) "Yes your highness. We also believe that Queen Tyuule is there as well."

THAT caused Zorzal to have a sadistic grin plastered on his face. It had been three years since the Warrior Bunnies have escaped his wrath. He once tried to trick the Queen into surrendering, but she managed to see through his lies as she would order the evacuation of her people. For years he tried to find them, but unfortunately, he would have no such luck. He was frustrated at this and once screamed in total anger as a result. However, hearing that he found the last of the Warrior Bunnies, he knew he couldn't pass up a chance like this. He couldn't afford to waste this opportunity.

Zorzal: (sadistic grin) "Is that so? Then there's not a moment to lose! Ready the troops! We march to the Warrior Bunnies and crush them once and for all!"

Of course, some of his Imperial Generals spoke out in disagreement.

Imperial General: "Your highness, with all due respect, are you sure that's wise? What about the foreign enemy at the GATE? Shouldn't we deal with them first?" 

Zorzal: (glares) "NO! This is an opportunity we cannot afford to lose! We still have over 500,000 troops at our disposal! Now ready my army! We finish the Warrior Bunnies once and for all!"

The Imperial Leaders bowed as they shouted, 'Yes, your Majesty!' before running out to mobilize their remaining forces. As they left, Zorzal had a sadistic, evil grin on his face. If he cannot conquer the other side of the GATE, then he can at least have his revenge against the Warrior Bunnies who escaped him three years ago.

Perhaps he'll even have the chance to make Queen Tyuule his sex slave when he captures her.

========== (Scene Change) ===========

Back at Arnus Hill, the USC is seen setting up their military base around the GATE as they clear out the bodies from the recent battle.

TSFs and Tanks were seen patrolling the area in case of any enemy forces approaching their positions. Multiple drones have been sent out in order to spot and alert of any signs of trouble approaching them. 

As that was happening, an embassy was built in order to house representatives of the UCN who will commission oversight for the USC during their operations in the Special Region. As that was happening, scientists from both Canada and the rest of the world are seen still doing extensive research on the GATE. Helping them was the Al known as Ultron who was currently scanning and documenting the energy findings of the structure in hopes of keeping it stable and esnsuring it doesn't close on the other side.

The military base is seen being set up as engineers were placing defenses in order to keep their people safe. Defense platforms and turrets are being set up in order to sure up defenses in case of another attack.

As that was all going on, Lt. General Sergei Kushnirov is currently speaking to his subordinates in the command room. They were currently discussing the situation and planning their next move. Also, in the room with them are Ulrich, Roberta, and Marcus.

Colt Formal is also there as he now acts as the liaison between both their worlds. Colt has agreed to help the Canadians in exchange for Italica's independence from the Empire, something the USC has agreed to. 

Sergei: "Ladies. Gentlemen. I believe you all know why you are here. As you know, our objective right now is to gather intelligence to decide on future policies. We are to investigate their political base, religious faith, and why kind of industries are prevalent in this world are at the top of our upcoming fact-finding mission. Colonel Marcus?"

Marcus stood up straight in attention.

Marcus: "Sir?"

Sergei: "I am assigning you a recon unit in which you will be in command of. Your objective is to make future contact with the locals in disputed areas. If you can, start a friendly relationship with them. You'll be assigned to the Joint Recon Force 1. You'll be accompanied with Lt. Colonel Grant and Commander Lee, alongside 12 others. You be well equipped with trucks, tanks and TSFs to help you. Also, thanks to Ultron analyzing the language in this world, we are able to create built in translators to ensure no misunderstanding between us and the locals. Should be able to give you and your team and easier time. Understood?"

Marcus: (salutes) "Yes sir!"

Before anything else could be said, a UCAF Marine suddenly walked in.

The Marine gave a crisp salute as he had something to report.

UCAF Marine: (salutes) "Sir! It's Ultron! Says he had news for you! Told me to tell you that it urgent!"

Sergei: (nods) "Put him on screen."

Turning to the direction, a massive holographic screen pops up to show Ultron.

Ultron: "Greetings General."

Sergei: (nods) "Ultron. I believe you have something important to report?"

Ultron: (nods) "Indeed sir. Our drones have spotted massive troop movement near our location. Originally, I believed they were heading towards us, but I was wrong. Apparently, they are currently marching towards this location."

Ultron opens a screen to show the location on where they are going. He pinpoints it to a specific location.

Ultron: "They seem to be intent on attacking a race of inhabitants called the 'Warrior Bunnies' and have plans on enslaving them. That is what we managed to pick up using the translators."

Colt: (surprised) "The Warrior Bunnies?"

Ulrich: (curious) "You know them?"

Colt: (nods) "Yes. They are a race of humanoids who have migrated from the GATE and into our world. They were well known for their superhuman agility, reflex and speed as well as highly skilled warriors and assassins. From what I've learned, Prince Zorzal of the Empire attempt to conquer and enslave the Warrior Bunnies, but they managed to escape from his wrath. I haven't heard from them in 3 years until now."

Roberta: "You seem to know them quite well."

Colt: (nods) "I have some Warrior Bunnies who actually work for me in Italica. I was willing to show good hospitality in exchange for helping me take care of my family."

Sergei then turned back to Ultron.

Sergei: "Do we know who is leading the attack?"

Ultron: (nods) "Yes sir. As said by Colt Formal, the one leading the attack is Prince Zorzal El Caesar of the Saderan Empire. In fact, he is the once responsible for the attempted attack on Los Angeles and now it seems he intends to conquer these 'Warrior Bunnies' for his own. Given their numbers, they might very well succeed."

Marcus them immediately spoke up.

Marcus: "Those people look like they need help! Let's go!"

Sergei: "Easy Colonel. First, I need you to be acquainted with the Joint Recon Force 1 and then we'll have you deployed." 

Sergei then turned his attention back to Ultron.

Sergei: "Ultron, I want the base on high alert right now. I want a full mobilization. All troops are to report to their units. Strike forces will be armed, outfitted and ready to leave in three hours. We are going to stop the Saderans and hopefully make friendly contact with these Warrior Bunnies."

Ultron: (nods) "I understand General. I'll be sure to relay your orders now and have our forces mobilized."

Sergei: (nods) "See that you do."

The holographic screen shuts off as Colt speaks up again.

Colt: "General wait. Please allow me to come on this mission. I am fluent in their language and can help with the translation. Also, I am actually on good terms with their people before their disappearance three years ago. I can help make it easier to establish a friendly relationship with them."

Sergei was silent from a moment as he thought it over. Eventually he decided to agree.

Sergei: (nods) "Very well. However, if you are coming with us, then you will stay in the rear until the battle is over. The last thing we need for you to get killed."

Colt: (nods) "I understand."

Sergei then turns to Marcus. 

Sergei: "Colonel, go to your assigned unit and be ready for battle."

Marcus: (salutes) "Yes sir."

And so, Marcus, along with Roberta and Ulrich, gave the Lt. General a crisp salute as they make their way out of the command center. 

========== (Scene Change) ===========

Outside of the base, Col. Marcus is seen addressing his new teammates and companions he will take with him.

The first is a man by the name of Adams Currie whose rank is Warrant Officer.

Adams Currie was born in Ontario as he grew up having a normal childhood. His family also has a history in the military as he is a descendant of a famous Canadian General by the name of Arthur Currie. He would eventually join the Canadian Marine corps and be a part of the UCAF Marine Corps. The man is known for being steadfast and determined, willing to fight for the people and doing what he can to help others. He cars for others and is instilled into him a good sense of moral. However, he is not above doing what's necessary to keep his allies alive.

The second is a man by the name of Volkov Stalin whose rank is Warrant Officer.

Volkov was born in Georgia until his parents immigrated to Canada when he was just 13 years old. What is known about him is that he is a descendant of the famous Russian war hero known as Joseph Stalin, the same Orthodox Christian Priest who led the White Army to victory against the Bolsheviks and would personally execute Valdimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky in the process. He grew to having a fairly normal childhood until he decided to drop out of high school and join the Canadian Military. Despite being an immigrant, he was treated just the same as anyone else and was well respected. Due to Russian influence and the fact that his father was a former Russian soldier in the Russian Empire, Volkov is known for being brutal and ruthless in combat. Yet he often acts friendly and kind towards others who deserve it. All and all, he's a fairly reasonable guy. 

The third member is another man by the name of David MacArthur whose rank is Captain.

Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, David grew up in a military where his father would teach him about the art of war. David was instilled into the ideas of the Canada's Founding Father's that 'All Men are Created Equal'. Since then, he's dedicated himself to working for the benefit of others and help people regardless of their skin color, religion, nationality, etc. When he came of the legal age, he would join the Canadian Military and rise through the ranks of becoming a Captain. He would be in command of his very own tank in which he calls 'Fury'. The tank he commands is an MIA5 Abrams. Thanks to the use of a neural implant, David is capable of pilot the tank singlehandedly and does not require additional crew members. 

Next is a Chinese woman by the name of Wang Li whose rank is Major.

Wang Li is a Chinese immigrant who grew up in Bejing, China before her parents immigrated to Canada. When she eventually came of legal age, she would eventually join the Canadian military and achieve the rank of Major. She is often described as a 'strong and independent' woman who doesn't act as some damsel in distress. This is further proven as she joins the UCAF Mecha Corps and pilots the TSF F-22A Raptor. She can be quite skilled with firearms but is a master in close quarters combat. However, what most don't know is that she actually has a crush on a man by the name of Min Joon and is contemplating on how to tell her feelings to him. She is determined to prove that just because she's female doesn't mean she can't kick ass. 

Next is a man by the name of Gilbert S. Patton whose rank is Captain.

Born in Los Angeles, California, Gilbert is a man with strong conviction. As a young child, he grew up being fascinated by the tanks of the Canadian military. Sure, the Mechas used by the military were cool, but there was just something about the tank that made him feel special. He supposes this fascination came from the fact that he was a descendant of Canadian General George S. Patton, a famous tank commander who led the charge against the fascist Britannia forces during the second world war. Eventually he would join the military become an expert prodigy in tank warfare as he would achieve the rank of Captain. What he was considered most famous for is destroying 6 TSFs in a training simulation singlehandedly without any support. He always went with the phrase 'The Tank beats everything! Mechs included!' and he stuck by that idea ever since. Thanks to the use of a neural implant, Gilbert is capable of piloting his M1A5 Abrams alone without any crew to back him up. 

Next is a Japanese man by the name of Takashi Honzo whose rank is Warrant Officer.

Born in Chinese annexed Japan, more specifically in the city of Fukushima, Takashi originally grew up having a rough life, being almost treated like a 2nd Class Citizen. While not facing any discrimination or prejudice by Chinese citizens, his family struggled financially, leading him to a life of poverty. It was one due to the election of Shinzo Abe did his life finally turn for the better. Furthermore, he would soon learn about the real truth of the atrocities and war crimes his ancestor committed during WW2, causing him to reflect and change his outlook on life, along with seeking a means to redeem the Japanese people. After receiving financial help from the newly reformed Chinese Government, Takashi would no longer live in the life of poverty and would eventually move to Canada where he would enlist into the UCAF military before joining the Foreign Legion. Soon he would become a TSF Pilot due to his fascination with mechs and would be responsible for piloting the F-22A Raptor. He would eventually meet a Chinese woman his age by the name of Wang Li who he would then secretly fall in love with. She just so happens to be his superior as she outranks him. Takashi is well known for being cheery and playful at time but can be serious when doing his job.

The next member is a man by the name of Patrick O'Brian whose ranks is Sergeant. 

Born in the Republic of Ireland, Patrick was actually a well-known troublemaker. He was well known for getting into street fights and causing trouble in the local community in Ireland during his young teens. It also doesn't help that he illegally drinks alcohol at a young age. Due to financial issues, Patrick's parents moved to Canada for a better life, much to his dismay. He caused problems which forced his parents to go to a military school in order to instill discipline into him. However, he would have his life changed when he would get drunk and get into a car accident which would eventually lead him to being arrested. What's even worse is the fact that his parents would eventually visit him and proclaim that they would disown him as they viewed him as a lost cause and no longer view him as their son. As a result of the experience he suffered and after being disowned by his own family, Patrick swore to himself that he would no longer drink and be a better person as a result. He would take his military training seriously and do all he can to make his former parents proud, even if they don't want anything to do with him anymore. Eventually he would reach the rank of Sergeant and join the UCAF Mecha Corps as he pilots an F-22A Raptor. Eventually he would reconcile with his parents, and they gladly brought him back into the family after seeing that he's truly changed for the better. 

The next member is a woman by the name of Mari 'Kurokawa' Doss whose rank is Sergeant 1st Class.

She is a Japanese/Chinese-Canadian woman who was born in the state of Georgia. A devout Christain follower, she was born to a Japanese-Canadian man named James Doss, and a Chinese woman named Jing Min. Throughout her young life, her parents would instill into her a good sense of moral and honor. What is known about her is the fact she's the great-granddaughter of a famous Canadian medic named Desmond Doss. Wishing to be like her great-grandfather, she would go to a medical university to achieve her degree before joining the military to become a combat medic. After the election of Shinzo Abe, she was traumatized and horrified to learn the truth of her fellow Japanese ancestors war crimes during WW2 and sought to redeem her people by showing the world the Japanese people can indeed be a force for good. 

The next member is a man by the name of Sebastian Collins whose rank is Sergeant.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Sebastian grew up in a military family. His father was a veteran soldier and expected nothing less from his own son. When he reached the right age, he eventually was able to become a Falcon Trooper due to his special set of skills. The man is well known for being loyal, brave, honest to a fault, headstrong, resilient, and has a strong sense of justice and honor. After some time, he would achieve the rank of Sergeant and be one of the best in the Canadian military. 

The next member is Logan Jackman whose rank is Sergeant.

Logan is an orphan whose parents were killed in an accident. He has an older brother by the name of Victor Jackman. Logan and his brother were sent to an orphanage where he was constantly bullied by the other kid due to being seen as weak and an easy target. This caused him to get into a lot of fights and his brother would intervene in order to save him. When he got older, he joined the military alongside his brother in order to earn a better living. He and his brother would soon rise through the ranks of becoming elite soldiers and join the Marine Corps. He is well known for having a gruff demeanor and can be known for being violent and monstrous in battle. However, he is not without a sense of moral as he isn't one to mercilessly kill innocent civilians. While he is described as cynical and pessimistic, Logan is nonetheless a good person and will always stand up for those who can't defend themselves, or at the very least be willing to avenge them. Due to his rough childhood, the concept of death doesn't even phase him anymore. 

The next member is a man by the name of Victor Jackman whose rank is Sergeant.

(A/N: He's not evil compared to his movie counterpart but still retains his attitude and personality.)

Victor is the older brother of Logan. Like him, he was orphaned at a young age when their parents died in an accident. he was put into an orphanage in with his brother and was known for being protective of his brother from bullies. Wanting to find purpose in his life and earn a better living, he would later join the military alongside his brother and the two would rise through the ranks as elite soldiers. Due to his skills, he would become a member of the Marine Corps. Victor is known from being sadistic and ruthless as he shows no remorse or hesitation for killing enemies who stood in his way. His only good side was with Logan as he and Logan would protect each other since they were kids and through the wars. It was thanks to Logan that he doesn't randomly kill civilians and follow orders well. 

The last and final member is a man by the name of Otto von Hitler whose rank is Warrant Officer.

Otto is a German immigrant who was born in Berlin, Germany before moving to the USC. Otto was once a well-known artist in Germany before his parents were forced to move to Canada due to his father finding a better job that pays better. What is also known about him is that he's actually Jewish and is a descendant of Adolf Hitler, a famous artist in Germany. Otto was always fond of art at a young age and aspired to be a great artist like his ancestor. However, he would unfortunately have to leave his dream due to the fact that his family began to struggle with financial issues. Wanting to help his family, he would enlist in the military and work hard in order to earn the money necessary to help his parents. Eventually due to his skills, he would join the O.R.C.A. and become an elite operative behind enemy lines.

(A/N: O.R.C.A. is essentially the Navy SEALs and JTF2 combined.) 

Marcus looks at his subordinates as they all give him a crisp salute.

Roberta: "Everyone fall in!" (salutes) "Sir! Joint Recon Force 1 ready to move out!"

Marcus: (nods) "At ease ladies and gentlemen. It's good to see you all. I'm sure you've all read the mission reports?"

Wang: "Yes sir! We are aware of the situation are ready to deploy on your orders sir! "

Marcus: "Good. However, there are some things I want all of you to know. We are all entering deep into hostile territory and even though the enemy we are facing is less advanced than us, we shall NOT and can NOT underestimate them. So, no heroics or glory hauling. Focus on the mission, focus on your team, and focus on staying alive. That is all. So, everyone move out! We got people to save!"

JRF1: (salutes) "YES SIR!"

Everyone disperses as they enter their respective vehicles and mechs. Soon they all move out alongside the military units that will assist the Warrior Bunnies. 

========== (Scene Change) ===========

The city of the Warrior Bunnies is currently under siege.

The Warrior Bunnies were currently fighting a brutal battle in their secret holdout. However, they unfortunately don't have the numbers necessary to stave off this attack. The one currently leading the defense is a Warrior Bunny known as Queen Tyuule.

(A/N: The one standing on the podium and is colored white. Couldn't find a better image of her other than the slave outfit.)

Tyuule: (glares) "Hold the line sisters! Do NOT let them pass!"

Tyuule gritted her teeth in anger. After all these years of hiding, they were once again found by the Saderan Empire. 

It all happened three years ago when the Saderan Empire invaded their original home in search of more slaves for their Empire. Although they initially were able to overwhelm the Empire's troops, the Empire's manpower was just too much as the Warrior Bunnies were being pushed back. Originally, she was going to offer herself to Prince Zorzal in order to spare her people, but she was soon advised against that as they convinced her to know that Prince Zorzal will not keep his word. Realizing this, she abandoned that plan. Faced with little choice, Queen Tyuule would order the immediate evacuation of her people in order to escape from the Empire as she would create a rearguard in order to buy time for her people to escape.

As the Warrior Bunnies prepared their escape, Prince Zorzal once approached the battle-weary Queen with an offer. He proclaimed that if Queen Tyuule became his sex slave, he would stop the invasion and allow her people to go free. Obviously Tyuule saw though his lies and rejected his offer. As a result, the Warrior Bunnies would fight to the bitter end as their people would escape and go into hiding.

By some miracle, Tyuule and a handful of survivors were able to escape and link up with their people. For days they have traveled far in order to find a new safe haven from themselves. Eventually they found their new home in the form of a forest that was for away from the Empire territory. Soon they were able to rebuild their lives and move on. For three years they were able to live in peace and happiness as they rebuilt their old lives. 

Unfortunately, those days of happiness have ended.

In a terrible twist of fate, the Saderan Empire has found them again and the one leading the attack was none other than Prince Zorzal himself. The Warrior Bunnies put up a desperate defense, but they were surrounded from all sides with no escape.

Back at the present, Queen Tyuule gritted her teeth in anger as her people were once again in danger. Already she has heard reports about how some of her people were captured to be taken into slavery, while others were mercilessly killed when they tried to surrender.

Tyuule Thoughts: (glares) "Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT! How can this happen?! It this our fate?! To be shackled and enslaved like property?!"

A lone tear ran down her face as Tyuule watched as her home was being burned to the ground while her people were being either killed or enslaved. For the first time in her life... she prayed for a miracle.

Tyuule Thoughts: (desperate) "Please... someone help us."

As the battle rages on, the Queen would have no idea that her prayers would indeed be answered. Help was indeed coming.... and not in the way they expected. 

========== (Scene Change) ===========

The JRF1 was currently making their way towards their destination. Alongside them is a whole division of Canadian military forces sent in to help. As they were driving, they could see smoke up again.

Ulrich: "Hey Colonel, you see that?"

Marcus: (nods) "I do. Minerva are we near out destination?"

Minerva: "Affirmative, ETA 5 minutes. I suggest you and you team be ready."

Marcus: "Okay everyone listen up! Here's the plan! Grant, Li, Honzo, and O'Brian: I want you four to engage ariel units in the air, keep them away from our ground forces! Patton and MacArthur provide fire support while the rest of us engage enemy forces on the ground as we help the locals! As for Collins, Hitler, and the Jackman brothers, you four will be with a detachment of special forces to find and free any prisoners the Empire is currently escaping with! That's all! Everyone understand the plan?!"

JRF1: "Yes sir!"

The Canadian military moved in as they prepared to engage the Empire and hopefully capture Zorzal for interrogation. 

========== (Scene Change) ===========

Currently there was a Warrior Bunny who had just removed her blade from an Imperial's neck and twirled the knife backwards in order to stab another Imperial soldier in the neck, both bodies hit the ground with a thud.

The Warrior Bunny in particular is shown to have long ears with earrings in them and a bunny tail. She is shown to also have brown fur on her arms and legs while having tribal markings on her face and body. Her name is Delilah.

The Warrior Bunny couldn't help but look at the ruins of her home. Her foe's corpse had joined dozens of others already sprawled out, both Imperials and her own people. Arrows were flying overhead as the defenders tired their best to stay in cover. There were still a few skirmishes inside the city, but not enough to distract the rest of the Warrior Bunnies from firing back at the attackers with their own arrows. 

The situation was bad from the start. Despite their improvements on defense in case they were ever attacked, the Empire's military was able to push through and have the whole city surrounded. Originally, they had planned to once again escape, but due to being surrounded and cut off from their exits, they had no choice but to make a stand. Already many of her fellow sisters were killed while those who survived were captured and taken as slaves.

Suddenly, Deliah heard one of her fellow Warrior Bunnies shout out.

Warrior Bunny: "They've broken through!"

True enough, a large part of the wall crumbled and collapsed, leaving a hole large enough for the Imperials to swarm in through. Deliah gritted her teeth in both anger and fear as she prepared herself for a final stand. If she was gonna die, she would at least die fighting.

However, such actions would prove to be unnecessary as several explosions impacted the Imperials, sending body parts flying into the air. Surprised at this, Deliah looked and saw something unbelievable. She saw what looked like a couple of Steel Giants attacking the Imperials with what looked like magic that explodes on impact. When she was seeing were actually F-16C Fighting Falcons opening fire on the Imperial forces. Following behind were a couple of AH-80 Blackfoot's. However, none were more shocking as they saw an unknown army attacking only the Imperial with powerful war machines made of steel and soldiers wearing unknown yet advanced armor. Still watching the carnage unfold, Deliah saw what looked like steel elephants unloading their firepower on the Empire, massacring many of their troops in the process.

Delilah was so distracted that she did not see the Imperial charging at her with his shield in front. She was barely able to raise her sword in defense before being knocked to the ground. The soldier was getting ready to impale her before his head exploded like paste by a sniper round a MORS Rifle. Looking to the side, Deliah saw a couple of newcomers running past her wearing stranger armor. She even saw one on the unknown mowing down multiple Imperial troops with a weapon she's never seen before. 

Like before these newcomers were only attacking the Imperials, with the occasional assistance to the Warrior Bunnies. One of them seemed to stop and look at her as he motioned her to leave. What was surprising was the fact that he spoke in the same language as her.

???: "Get outta here and leave! We'll deal with the Imperials! Run!"

The unknown soldier left to join with the others as Delilah was dumfounded at what was currently going on.

???: "Delilah!"

Looking to her side, she saw a girl rushing towards her whose appearance is the most bunny looking. She recognized her as one of her friends being named Griine.

Her armor and face were covered in blood, as was her sword. Griine helped Delilah to her feet.

Griine: (concerned) "Are you okay?"

Delilah: (nods) "I'm fine Griine. But who are these people?"

Griine: "I-I don't know. They just appeared over the hills."

The two ran away in order to regroup with their people.

Griine: "They ignored us and started attacking the Imperials. Are they on our side?"

Just then, another Warrior Bunny named Parna noticed something at the distance.

(A/N: Couldn't find a good image. Look her up on the Wiki.)

Parna: "Look!" 

Joining her, the rest watched as these newcomers quickly routed the Imperials. Anyone who stood in their path was killed without mercy. Some of them even cringed when they saw one of the newcomers grab an Imperial Solider and throw him on the ground when he then stomped on his heard, crushing it in the process.

And yet, Parna directed their attention to where several of the newcomers were freeing their captured comrades. They directed said Warrior Bunnies back to the city while protecting them from the Imperials.

Griine: (cheers) "T-they really are on our side! We're going to survive!"

Griine cheered along with many others. With their 'reinforcements', the Warrior Bunnies began to fight back as they headed out to assist their new allies. As that was all happening, Deliah looked and saw a group of the newcomers heading towards the Imperials' rear... right where Prince Zorzal was.

========== (Scene Change) ===========

Marcus: "Push forward! Wipe them out!"

Several explosions impacted the ground as many Imperial troops guarding the area were wiped out. Three F-22A Raptors and one F-22A Raptor EMD were flying in the air as they opened fired on Imperial troops on the ground in order to give their forces a clean shot to the enemy command center. A couple of Wyvern Riders tried to intercept the TSFs but were all taken out when the Raptors killed them all with their grenade launchers. Several mages attempted to use their magic to intercept them, but they didn't get the chance as F-22A Raptors flew in and decimated them all before they could even launch a single spell.

Eventually, members of the JRFI have finally gotten to the command tent as Marcus disembarked from the Humvee as he led a squad of Marines in order to apprehend Zorzal. Lt. General Sergei made it strictly clear that he wanted Zorzal alive for interrogation due to him possibly having the information necessary. When Marcus and the Marines got inside the command tent, what they saw made their blood boil.

In the command tent, they can clearly see at least three Warrior Bunnies tied up and completely naked. They can see cuts and bruises indicating they have been abused. What's worse is that they can clearly see some white stuff between their legs which meant that they were also raped as well. Soon Zorzal made himself known as he glared hatefully at the intruders.

Zorzal: (hateful glare) "How DARE you come here unannounced?! "

Marcus: (glares) "How dare I? I should be the one asking you that since you tried to enslave these people asshole."

Zorzal: (hateful glare) "Do you know to the FUCK I am?! I'm Prince Zorzal El Ceaser of the Empire! Kneel before me barbarians!"

Marcus: (glares) "How about never you son of a bitch."

Zorzal gritted his teeth in anger and ordered his guards to attack. However, that proved to be useless as the Canadian marines opened fired and killed all of them, leaving Zorzal all by himself. Zorzal looked extremely angry, despite the fact that in reality he was completely afraid. The Saderan Prince drew his sword and pointed it at Marcus.

Zorzal: (glares) "ENOUGH! Don't you dare come near me, you barbaric savages! You are all beneath me! I am the future Emperor of the Saderan Empire, and I will not be bullied by a-ACK!"

Just before he could finish, Macus grabbed him by the leg and thanks to his superhuman strength and built in  exo-suit, he proceeded to throw and smash him on the ground repeatedly. He stopped for a second before going at it again and then slammed him on the ground on last time, leaving Zorzal whimpering on the ground in agony.

Soon the pain was too much, and the prince fell into unconsciousness while Marcus looked down at him with an annoyed glare.

Marcus: (annoyed glare and scoffs) "Puny Prince."

With Zorzal now knocked out cold, he proceeds to tie up the Saderan prince tightly in order to make sure he doesn't escape. Focusing now on the captured Warrior Bunnies, Marcus and the Marines tried to approach them, but as expected they were terrified and tried to back away, thinking they were either going to hurt or rape them.

Warrior Bunny: (terrified) "No! Stay away! Don't rape me!"

The other two screamed in terror, obviously traumatized at the hands of the Imperials. Marcus tried to diffuse the situation peacefully as he raised his hands in the air.

Marcus: "It's okay! It's okay! We're not gonna hurt you! I swear!"

Marus motioned the Marines to back away as he places his assault rifle on the ground. He then gently raises one of his hands in the air as he manages to take a couple of cloaks off in order to help preserve their modesty. He also took off his helmet as a sigh of trust.

Marcus: "We're not here to hurt any of you alright? We're here to help you and your people. Please... just trust me. I'm gonna cut your bindings and free you. I promise."

Still with tears in their eyes, the Warrior Bunnies were unsure. But something told them they can trust the human in front of them. Reluctantly, they lowered their guard as Marcus approached them as he cut their bindings off with his combat knife. He then covered their naked bodies with the cloaks as he motioned for the Marines to help out.

The Canadian Marines came forward and gently hoisted the Warrior Bunnies up in order to get them back to their city. Meanwhile, Marcus grabbed Zorzal and slung him on his shoulder as he carried him out. With that done, Marcus contacted command.

Marcus: "Command come in. This is Colonel Marcus. Target is secure. Waiting for exfil. Also, I request a medical evac here as well. I got three prisoners who need medical."

Lt. General Sergei Kushnirov is then heard over the comms.

Sergei: (comms) "Excellent Colonel. I am currently monitoring the situation. We have completely pushed the Imperials back. They are on the retreat. Any and all Warrior Bunnies that have been captured are now being freed by our special forces. I am now bringing in Colt Formal to help enter negotiations with the Warrior Bunnies. You and your team will be escorting him. Also, I'll be sure to send additional transport for the injured prisoners you have."

Marcus: (nods) "Yes sir."

After securing Zorzal, Marcus and the Marines made it outside to see a couple of F-35E Panthers and A-20 Razorbacks chasing after and engaging Imperial Wyvern's, with many of them being shot down and killed. He can also see a couple of Razorback VTOLs coming in to take Zorzal and help the injured prisoners. As they land, a Canadian pilot steps out and salutes.

UCAF Pilot: (salutes) "Sir I have orders to take the prisoner and bring him to base!"

Marcus: (nods) "Alright then. Just make sure he's secure and unconscious. Don't want him to wake up and 'accidently' fall off the transport."

UCAF Pilot: (salutes) "Yes sir!"

The pilot takes Zorzal into the transport and straps him in tightly and securely. With that done, the Razorback VTOL takes off and heads back to base. Canadian Combat medics step out as they take the three injured Warrior Bunnies. Although hesitant at first, Marcus was able to convince them that they were gonna take them back to the city to help heal their injuries. Eventually they accepted as all three entered the transport and flew off.

With that done, Marcus then looks at the members of the JRF1.

Marcus: (nods) "Alright team let's go. Hopefully the others have finished their objectives and link up with us later."

JRF1: (salutes) "Yes sir!"

The team then gets back in their vehicles and drive off to their next objective which was to link up with Colt and hopefully enter into a peaceful negotiation with the Warrior Bunnies.

========== (Scene Change) ===========

[EARLIER]

Elsewhere, a couple of Imperial Soldiers were leaving the battlefield as they had mobile iron cages filled with captured Warrior bunnies meant to be slaves. Many of them were either weeping in despair or had blank hollowed eyes as they felt there was no hope for them anymore. 

Imperial Soldier #1: (tired sigh) "Man that was a tough battle. I knew those Warrior Bunnies were gonna be tough, but I didn't think they were gonna be that tough. I honestly thought I was gonna die."

Imperial Soldier #2: (smirks) "Relax would ya. We made it in the end and have captured enough slaves in order to make quite a profit. With what we got; we'll be rich!"

Imperial Soldier #3: (laugh) "Yeah! I mean what's the worst that can happen?"

Imperial Soldier #1: "I don't know. Maybe-"

Suddenly a gauss round was shot right through his head. The Imperial soldier had a look of shock on his face before he fell to the ground dead. The Imperial soldiers saw what happened and panicked. They all tried to get into defensive positions but were all soon taken out.

The prisoners who saw the whole thing whimpered in fear at what happened and who killed the Imperial soldiers. Soon their question was answered when Canadian Falcon Troopers and O.R.C.A. Troopers made themselves known. This caused the captured Warrior Bunnies to be terrified as they never seen such armor before.

There were a couple of Imperial survivors that tried to make a run for it but were killed instantly when Falcon Troopers flew up and killed them from the air with their assault rifles. Victor let out a blood thirsty, sadistic grin as he keeps firing his Dingo LMG at the Imperials.

Victor: (sadistic grin) "Hey where you going?! Get back here!"

As Victor kept firing, Otto and Logan proceeded to help free the prisoners, along with the other Special forces. As expected, the captured prisoners were scared of them as they tried to get away from them. Some glared at them, thinking they were worse than the Imperials. Both Logan and Otto tried to calm them down and show them they were trying to help.

Otto: "Do not be afraid. We're here to help you."

Warrior Bunny: (glares) "How can we be certain?! For all we know, you rescuing us could just be a farse so you can make us your slaves!"

Logan looked at the Warrior Bunny with an annoyed glare on his face.

Logan: (annoyed glare) "Looks lady, we just saved your asses, and this is the thanks we get? Geez maybe we should've just left you to the Imperials and their sex slaves instead."

Otto shot a glare at Logan.

Otto: (glares) "Not helping."

Logan: (shrugs) "Meh."

Otto sighed as he looked at the prisoners.

Otto: "Listen, I know you don't trust us, but we mean no harm to any of you. Ignoring my companion here, we came to help your people. We can help escort you back to your city and our medics can help heal your wounded. I understand you don't trust us because we're human, but really, ask yourselves, do you really have a choice?"

The Warrior Bunny prisoners gave each other looks before they reluctantly agreed to accept their assistance.

Warrior Bunny: (glares) "Fine, but if you're lying, we'll kill you where you stand."

Otto: (nods) "That's all we ask."

Eventually the Canadian Special Forces are seen escorting the Warrior Bunnies back to their homes. Otto then motioned Logan to contact the Colonel on completing their objective. Logan nodded as he contacted Colonel Marcus.

Logan: "Colonel, we got the salves and are now being rerouted back to the city."

Marcus: (comms) "Roger that. Just get here fast."

Logan: (nods) "Understood. Over and out."

The special forces of the Canadian military help escort the Warrior Bunnies back to the city while making sure no Imperials catch them off guard.

========== (Scene Change) ===========

[PRESENT]

Queen Tyuule widens her eyes in total shock at what happened.

Originally, she thought that this was the end of her people, that they were all going to be slaughtered and enslaved by the Saderan Empire. Instead, her people were saved by an unknown military force who struck out against the Imperials while freeing her people from cages. She can see that many of her captured sisters who are far away from the battlefield are now seen being escorted by the newcomers as they are being treated for their injuries.

Looking up, Queen Tyuule saw what looked like giant metal birds going down as they deploy more of their unknown soldiers onto the ground. She watched as the unknowns move into the city as they either clear out what remains of the Imperial forces or are now seen helping her people and assisting the wounded.

Tyuule was suddenly cut off from her thoughts when she saw strange horseless carriages made of metal making their way towards her. Her two guards got into defensive positions, but Tyuule raised her hand to stop them. Soon the strange carriages stopped and one of the doors opened to reveal a very familiar face.

Tyuule: (surprised) "Colt Formal?"

Colt: (smiles) "Greetings your majesty. I sincerely wished we could be speaking right now under better circumstances."

Queen Tyuule actually knew who Colt Formal was. In fact, he had a part in her people's escape from the Empire. When the Warrior Bunnies were first driven out of their homes, they sought refuge in Italica as Colt welcomed them with open arms. After listening to their situation, Colt suggested they go into hiding in a faraway forest that is far out of reach from the Empire's territory. After gathering the necessary supplies, the Warrior Bunnies left as Tyuule thanked him for his kindness towards her people.

However, some of her people decided to stay and work for the Formal family as maids in order to repay his kindness. Tyuule didn't hold it against them and allowed it. At the very least, she knew they would be safe with the Formal family. Eventually they did make it to the forest, they soon set up their new home and lived in peace for three years until the Empire found them again just recently.

Tyuule was honestly shocked to see that Colt was indeed alive and well. She had heard about Zorzal's expedition through the GATE had ended in complete disaster and that all of the nobles that went through were supposed to be killed, Colt included. So, imagine her surprise to see that Colt Formal was alive and well.

Tyuule: (shocked) "I can't believe this. You're alive? I though you died during the expedition through the GATE."

Colt: "Not so dead now it seems. It's thanks to the Canadians that I am alive and well."

Tyuule: (confused) "Canadians?"

Colt motioned to the foreigners.

Colt: (nods) "Yes, THESE people helped save my life and they wish to speak to you."

Tyuule watches as one of the 'Canadian' soldiers approach her with his helmet off. It is revealed to be Colonel Marcus.

Marcus: (nods) "Your majesty."

Tyuule couldn't help but glare at the newcomers with suspicion. They may have helped her people, but considering the fact that they were human, she had her doubts.

Tyuule: (glares) "I am Queen Tyuule of the Warrior Bunnies. Who are you strangers?"

Marcus stood firm as he answered the Queen's question.

Marcus: "I am Colonel Marcus Luther King Jr. We are the United States of Canada, and we wish to talk if that is alright with you your Majesty."

Tyuule raised an eyebrow at this. She had a feeling that things were about to change drastically for her people as she gets to know these new people. 

========== (Scene Change) ===========

Back at Arnus Hill, Sergei, Maximus, and Shing were currently monitoring the situation. So far, the plan had gone perfectly and that there were no casualties on their part. They also saw the slave carriages that tried to escape were intercepted and the slavers were all killed. With that done, the UCAF began to escort the captured Warrior Bunnies back to the city where they see their military forces interacting with their people and help them out with the damages done to their home.

Maximus: (nods) "Well it looks like things have gone well in the end."

Sergei: (nods) "Indeed. No casualties and we managed to rescue the slaves before they can leave. Excellent work gentlemen."

Shing was suddenly notified about a call on his data pad.

Shing: "Excuse me Generals. I have a call I need to take. Will report after." 

Sergei nodded and allowed him to leave.

Maximus: "So what do you think will happen now? I have no doubt that people back home will want answers and updates on what's going on here in the Special Region."

Sergei: (nods) "On that I agree. Still, what I'm more concerned about it the Britannian Revolutionary Front."

Maximus: (confused) "What about them?"

Sergei: "We must keep our guard up no matter what. I have a feeling that with the appearance of the GATE now open in Los Angeles, those terrorists will no doubt take interest in it. No doubt they'll want access to it and the resources to help fuel their war machines."

Maximus sighed as he knew that Sergei had a good point. He knew full well the BRF will do all they can to gain every advantage they can get against the nations of the UCN. Their main target is obviously Canada. The Canadian General had a feeling and knew full well that if the Britannian Revolutionary Front got control of the GATE, it would spell disaster not only for their world, but also for the inhabitants of the Special Region.

Maximus: (sigh) "You're right. It's best we contact the President in order to tighten security and triple it if necessary. Also, we might have to keep an eye on our own troops as well. We don't wany any spies or moles in our ranks that could possibly sabotage us. Such actions will greatly affect us in a negative way."

Sergei: (nods) "Agreed. I'll be sure to inform the President of your suggestions."

Maximus nodded in appreciation. After some time later, Shing came back into the room.

Sergei: "Report."

Shing: (salutes) "Sir, Colonel Marcus had just called. It seems that these 'Warrior Bunnies' are willing to enter into negotiations with us about the situation and our appearance in their territory."

This surprised the two Canadian Generals.

Sergei: "They're willing to speak with us on negotiations?"

Shing: (nods) "Indeed sir. Thanks to the built-in translators, these 'Warrior Bunnies' are willing to enter into negotiations with us. Possibly an alliance sir."

Maximus: (smirks) "Well now, isn't that convenient. If negotiations go well, we can have some translators for us to help with the language barrier. Also, we can possibly have them as an ally who will provide us more important information within the Special Region."

Sergei: (nods) "Indeed. If they are willing to negotiate, then this is an opportunity we cannot afford to lose. Where will the negotiations take place?"

Shing: "They say they want to speak to us directly sir. Right here at our base."

Maximus: (raised eyebrow) "Really now?"

Sergei: (nods) "Very well then. I suggest we all get ready."

The men in the room left as they prepared the base in order to get ready to meet their incoming guests.
