Chapter-1: Rise of a Nation
[Qua-Toyne Principality, Airspace Defense center]
Here we can see several controllers working the morning shift and are enjoying another peaceful day at work.
"Man, I'm worried about what's gonna happen to Louria." Said one as he kicks back on his chair.
"Well they are facing imminent revolution if the King doesn't do anything to ease the economic suffering his people are experiencing." Said a girl on the other side of the table.
"If King Hark doesn't find a way to ease the suffering of his people, then his capital Jin-Hark is a hotbed of possible revolution and he'll get overthrown." Commented one as he jumps in the conversation.
"The Lourian kingdom is spending too much on their military, both Qua-Toyne and Quila as its trading partners in the Rodenius continent have advised them to decrease spending and instead focus on economic reform, but the buggers just ain't listening to what we say." Said a male with brown hair.
Their conversation when the magi-Line suddenly cackled to life from one of their observer stations.
"Come in ADC this is Observer Unit 15, I repeat ADC come in this is Observer Unit 15!" The other end was announced.
"This is Airspace Defense, go ahead!" The controller replied.
"We have a flying contact of unknown origin or allegiance!" The panicked voice of the observer announced.
"Calm down man! Tell me what are the identifying features of the flying object?" The controller asked.
"It's white, it has 4 propellers, and it has a long fuselage, it looks like the medium bombers used by the Parpaldia empire."
"What's going on here?" Asked the senior chief of the morning shift.
"It seems Unit 15 of our Observer Corps has spotted an unknown flying object of unknown allegiance has entered our airspace." The controller reported to his boss.
"If it's a plane from the Parpaldian Empire we're in a heap of trouble! Their observer air force is known to randomly bomb civilian areas!" Said the chief.
"Sir, it's turning in the direction of the Maihark!" Came the response from the man on the other side of the line.
"We have no choice then! Scramble all available Albatross squadrons at once, and sound the alarm!" Ordered the chief.
"Tell them, their mission is simple. Locate the target aircraft and shoot it down do not let it bomb any of the civilian areas in Maihark at all cost!" The chief added.
[The aircraft lookouts spotted]
[Trade and Port city of Maihark]
"Army, and the Naval garrison have been alerted as per request of the air defense corps, all 37mm Pom Pom gun positions from Louria are on full alert!" One shouted from a group of Qua-Toynese soldiers who were all in a flurry getting to their battle positions.
"All civilians please stay indoors or head to the nearest air raid shelter for your own safety!" Came from a pole that houses a magi-speaker announcing to the civilians of the port city.
As each of them gets into position, they hear a distant rumbling of airplane engines coming from behind a set of clouds. When suddenly a white flying object passed above them, ever so circling like a shark found its prey.
"Anti-Air guns open fire!!!" The order came from an officer. As the guns were blazing away, their shots were falling short, but behind were a flight of six Albatross fighters hot on it's tail.
"We've caught up to the enemy plane, this is the flight leader, first albatross squadron, commence your attack runs!" Came the lead plane's voice as it fired a burst of MG rounds at the large plane but fell short as it missed with the others either not getting a clear shot or have also missed theirs, and now the said target plane climbed to a higher altitude.
[Inside the P-3 Orion]
"Holy shit bro, this is like a historical film!" Exclaimed the flight engineer in the cockpit.
"Not exactly the best moment to admire the scenery, Cleve! They're actively trying to shoot us down!" Retorted the first officer who was working with the 'captain' of the plane in trying to dodge the hostile Qua-Toyne fighters and ground fire.
"Shut up you two! And focus on the job at hand, we're going to ascend to 19,000 feet and we'll continue our recon run from there!" Said the pilot in command of the plane.
"Aye sir, ascending to one nine thousand feet!" The other pilot replied.
"I knew the Air Force should've sent their RC-135 instead, that thing has better capabilities than our Orion!" One of the technicians in the back shouted with a chuckle.
"The RC-135 is an ELINT aircraft, not the most suited for photographic recon flights." Said another technician.
"Oh shut it Dave, like you know every bit of equipment each service branch uses." moaned one other technician as he held on tightly in the seat as the plane ascended altitude.
[Qua-Toyne Principality, Maihark Naval Base]:
Maihark Naval Base is currently home to Qua-Toyne's small navy, a navy that comprises ten destroyers and three light cruisers, Maihark also houses the Qua-Toyone's naval HQ.
"Is it really a plane from the Parpaldian empire?" Asked the admiral while having a smoke with his tobacco.
"Well it does look like one sir..." Responded his assistant.
"It doesn't make sense though, there's no known country at the north-east and not a major nation like Parpaldia north." He said as he puffs some smoke.
Their small conversation was broken when a yeoman entered the room whilst carrying a message.
"Pardon my intrusion sir, Magi-Transmission from the second cruiser squadron." Announced the yeoman.
After handing the message to the Admiral, the yeoman turned about and left.
"What is it sir?" Asked the assistant.
"I guess we're about to know." The man replied as he chewed the end of his tobacco.
"Four large naval vessels of unknown affiliation sighted outside of Maihark." He read from the report.
"So now it's large naval vessels, what's next flying gunships?" His assistant asked sarcastically.
[Qua-Toyne territorial waters, outside of Maihark.]
"Steady as she goes!" The squadron commander ordered his helmsman, as he looked through his binoculars scanning the horizon for other ships.
While he scans the waters around Maihark he and a couple of the look outs soon spot silhouettes of foreign ships in the distance.
"Ship on the horizon, bearing Red four one O!" Shouted one of the lookouts.
"Aircraft on the horizon, bearing Green one double O!" Shouted another lookout.
With the commander of the squadron looking through his binocs again, he soon spots the group of ships bearing down on them.
"Two small ships, well it's as big as ours. But compared to its fellows it's small." Said the squadron commander.
"Another is a medium sized vessel, similar to a light cruiser from the Lourian navy..." He said as he continued to look through his binocs.
"Second to the last ship is probably the main escort vessel, judging by its size it might be a battlecruiser!" The squadron commander said as he examined the next ship through his binoculars.
"And the last vessel is probably the flagship and like that aircraft carrier thing that the Parpaldian empire just built, judging by its size it's probably their pride and joy." He said with a smirk as he looked through his binocs and observed the ships."Sir, look, the large vessels seemed to have noticed our squadron and are signaling us with lights!" Announced one of the spotters aboard the flagship.
"I see, signal back and tell them we are gonna be boarding them for inspection." Said the squadron commander.
"Aye Aye sir!" Responded one of the men manning a lamp.

[Aboard FS West Hampton (CV-7) a few minutes ago.]
"Sir, I have three ships on radar, coming up to our position fast!" Came a report from a radar technician aboard the carrier.
"Have we established contact with them on any radio frequency yet?" Asked the task force admiral.
"We've been trying sir, hell we've even tried the channel frequency the Eastern Europeans use, but they're not answering!" Came a reply from a Comms technician.
"Sir three unknown light cruisers spotted, bearing starboard one hundred!" Announced one of the lookouts outside the bridge.
"They're already this close sir, why not use the signal lights if we can't get through them by radio?" Asked the 2nd in command of the task force.
"Alright then try using the signal lights, it should work from this range." Ordered the admiral.
"Aye sir!" Responding to the sailor manning the signal lamp who started to communicate with the cruiser squadron of the Qua-Toynese navy.
"Sir, they request for an official from their navy to board our ship for an inspection!" Shouted the sailor.
The two officers, the captain of the ship and the task force commander looked at each other and then turned to a man in a suit and tie who just nodded.
"Tell them their request is granted!" Shouted the task force commander to the sailor who signaled back to the Qua-Toynese ships.
[Flight Deck of the FS West Hampton (CV-7)] Qua-Toyenese naval officers POV.
"This is truly one large deck!" Said the squadron commander.
"Yeah, you can hold several recreational activities with this space if it was on land!" Said another.
"You can build a small village in this space!" Said another officer.
Their chatter was broken when a man in a suit along with two officers from the unknown navy in tow.
"Sorry to break your chatter gentlemen, but we'd like to get down to business." Said the man in a suit.
"There seems to be no language barrier." Whispered one of the officers.
"So it seems, that makes things much easier for us to be honest." Replied the other.
Their attention is now back at the Qua-Toynese naval official.
"Alright then, I'd like to know your vessel's affiliation and destination." Said the commander.
"Our destination is that port city of yours, we wish to establish communication with the outside world you see." Said the man in a white uniform, this man is in his thirties and has the rank of Rear Admiral, denoting him as the overall commander of the task force.
"Pardon my colleague here, but I'm a member of the Friesholan Department of Foreign Affairs." Said the man in the gray suit.
"Friesholan...? I've never heard of that nation before." Replied the commander of the Qua-Toyne second cruiser squadron
"That's the issue, my country was suddenly transported to this place and we don't have the faintest idea as to how and why..." Said the man from the Foreign Office with a pensive expression.
"Thanks to the short reconnaissance of our plane, and from the information we have gathered. We managed to obtain proof of our untimely teleportation.
"So the unknown aircraft that flew over our airspace was..." The commander trailed off.
"Yes, that was us. And it was an unnecessary airspace violation, but I can assure you." He said as he fixed his tie.
"That my country does not mean any form of hostility towards yours." He said as he finished his sentence.
[Maihark Naval HQ]:
"Admiral new information from the second cruiser squadron!" A man came barging into his office.
"Read it please." The Admiral said as he stopped whatever he was doing.
"The affiliation of the large vessel is with the country of Friesholan, they have a foreign official on board and they wish to have dialogue with our country!" He frantically reads the report.
"The unknown flying aircraft that violated Qua-Toynese airspace is from the same country and they wanted to apologize." He said as he paused from reading before continuing in reading the bottom part of the report.
"Furthermore, the standpoint of this country is that they were transferred to this world!" He said in surprise as the two other men in the room stood from their seats in surprise as well.
"There were transferred countries in legends and folklore too, but furthermore." He said as he lit his tobacco.
"But furthermore, for them to confess that the big airplane was from them might mean something." He said as he walked off from his desk.
"Admiral, where are you going?" Asked the adjutant.
"To the capital, where a government meeting about this matter is being held. I will be reporting this to them before any of those old geezers make a bad decision and turn this opportunity for a strong ally into the trash bin!" He said as he left the room and immediately left the Naval base for the Qua-Toyonese capital.
