*Sacramento, California, Sunset Union Territory; June 16, 2021; 3:00 PM*

It had been a mere two hours since the Adenien Empire had landed in the heart of the Sunset Union's expansive territory, which extended it's influence from Washington in the north, to California in the southwest, reaching as far as the Rocky Mountains.

Two hours had wrought an unforeseen carnage.

Imperial troops had burned the city to the ground in the first thirty minutes of their invasion. The Warriors of the New Adenien Empire had either been rounding up civilians, or subjects as the Union had called them, or killing them instantly.

Danielle had been one of the few survivors.

Danielle, at age 20, had originally been a sociology major at the California State University, Sacramento when the Red July began. She had been one of the loudest voices against the idleness and bigotry the North American Federation, and one of the most violent.

She, along with her band of revolutionaries, singlehandedly slaughtered the acting government and police force in Sacramento, with not even a shred of regret. Not a morsel of remorse.

And now, having such slaughter being wrought against her own friends and comrades... She was shaken to the core.

A single Extremis Trooper charged through a whole horde of people attempting to evacuate. Perhaps they had hoped to find strength in numbers.

The Adenienite Trooper mowed through the entire crowd. A good number of them had been mercilessly trampled. Some had their legs completely shattered beyond repair.

"Private Rigior! What in the name of the Divine are you doing?!" A larger Extremis trooper had demanded.

Danielle stared at the grisly scene before her. No amount of the war she had wrought in the past could compare to this mass slaughter before her. Shaking at the sight, she reached slowly for her dagger.

The Commanding officer had a scar that swept along his right cheek. His wrinkled face laden with scars and robotic parts. But the most distinguishing feature of this commander was the fact that the whole right side of his face had been ripped off long ago, but had replaced it with a robotic skeletal faceplate covering it.

"M-Millenturion Uriah! I had not expected to stand before you sir!" The Private saluted.

"At ease. Now, what's this here?" The Millenturion demanded coldly.

"Sergeant Cornelius had given me orders to search for survivors."

"Hm... and did he tell you to slaughter the survivors?"

"N-No sir..."

Danielle tilted her head.. They weren't ordered to commit such an atrocity?! They were doing this all by choice?!!

"Very well. I'm proud that you bothered to take the initiative." The Millenturion grinned, grabbing one of the survivors, a young man with dyed green hair and glasses.

"T-Thank you, sir!" The Private saluted.

"Now... Tell me your name..." The Millenturion asked the bloodied man.

"I-I-I'm B-B-Bradley... B-Bradley Quince..."

"Now, then. What was your occupation?"

"I-I'm one of the main representatives of t-this sector-"

The Millenturion simply crushed Bradley's windpipe, and drop-kicked him in the head with a powered boot that tore it completely off.

"What a waste. Execute the rest... Master Sergeant Rigior" The Millenturion ordered.

"Yes sir!!" the newly promoted Master Sergeant saluted.

Danielle snuck away, only to find another crowd get eviscerated in one strike of a Trooper's sword, the gore splattering everywhere as she ran...

...Right into the Millenturion.

"And who are you? Have you come to fight?" He asked.

Danielle grabbed the pocket knife in her back pocket. Her weapon of choice during the uprisings.

Swinging the object at the Millenturion's face, she roared angrily and proudly...

...until her wrist was shattered in the Millenturion's grasp.

"I'm impressed with your tenacity, little brat. As one of only five Millenturions on Earth, I'm charged with being our new emperor's Personal Envoy to your city. We've cleaned up enough of your messes. It is high time to make our own." The Millenturion elaborated, slapping Danielle so hard her neck snapped, killing her instantly.

"FINISH OFF YOUR WORK AND WAIT FOR THE OTHERS, THEN FIRE THE HYPERIONS AT THE MOUNTAIN RANGE BEYOND AND KILL ANY SURVIVORS!!! THEN WE MARCH EAST!!!" The Millenturion roared.

The soldiers of the Adenien Empire cheered back, victorious in their first conquest.

It was not their only conquest thus far...

*Concordia, Remnant; June 16, 2021; 3:05 PM*

A fleet of 15 Korian ships flew over Concordia.

A whole armada of smaller ships, an army of Extremis Troops, led by the New Emperor himself, charged at the gates of Concordia's first city, millions of refugees fleeing the carnage as the remaining Battalions of the Concordian Guard fought bitterly to defend their new home.

"CHARGE!!!" Julius roared, charging directly towards Ruby and Cade, who were currently busy fighting off the AVERAGE Extremis soldiers.

Cade turned Evolved, turning to face Julius after quickly kicking away a soldier.

"JULIUS!!!"

"Well, well! Alexander's pet!" Julius grinned, raising the Sword of Emperors towards Cade.

Both collided in a flurry of blades and electric arcs as Extremis Troops barged through the barricades.

Cade swept underneath the Emperor's Sword, kicking him in the shin to little effect as Julius raised his sword.

Cade ducked out of the way, jumping up and kneeing Julius in the chest, spinning around and kicking the Emperor away again.

"THIS WILL BE THE END OF YOU!!" Julius roared, charging at Cade and trampling him to the ground.

As Julius turned, Cade leaped back into action.

"YOU LITTLE UPSTART!!!" Julius roared, swinging his blade upwards as Cade leaped to dodge.

"Really. You start a multi-dimensional conquest and I'm the upstart?" Cade smirked.

The New Emperor roared, continuing his onslaught against his rival as literally everyone else scrambled in defense of the 'city' as hundreds of troops from dozens of dropships crashed into the ground outside the canyon.

Teams RWBY and JNPR, Vanoss' entire crew, The Mane 6, Most of Alex's family, the other-universe incarnates, EVERYONE.

"Dammit!! Dealing wit just one of these things is impossible!!" Jason roared, hacking away at an Extremis Trooper only to fall back once it turned to the offensive.

Ruby launched herself into the air, hacking an Extremis Trooper's armor open as Yang charged like a bull, punching through the Trooper's chest.

Yang leaped back as Ruby fired a Gravity Dust Round directly into the skull of another Trooper.

"Where the hell did they get this armor?! WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE IT?!?!" Yang demanded as Summer charged alongside Alice.

"Zis is impossible! Zis technology shouldn't even BE HERE!!" Richtofen shouted, unloading ANOTHER DG-2 charge at the oncoming trooper. The lightning sparking around his armor and not stopping as he grabbed Richtofen by the head.

The only thing that managed to stop the Extremis Trooper from crushing Richtofen's skull was Ruby hacking off his armored hand and finishing him off with a gravity dust shot to the cerebellum.

"You remember Ur-Riias?" Summer smirked.

"Didn't we almost die that time?" Alice asked.

"So you do remember." Summer grinned.

Alice raised both hands as a light-blue energy gathered in her palms.

"SANCTIC RISE!!"

Alice slammed her palms against the ground as 10 Extremis Troopers floated into the air.

Summer raised her weapons, dual swords that transformed into semi-automatic crossbows. With extreme precision, Summer aimed and shot for weak points in the armor.

Alice raised them higher into the air before dropping them down.

The troopers landed hard, but were otherwise unharmed.

"Did you think this would work, Mystic?" A trooper demanded.

Summer pressed a button on the side of her weapon, blowing up every single trooper in their group from the inside.

"Just like old times." Alice grinned.

Vanoss leaped over an Extremis Trooper, charging towards a Captain as Delirious and Panda followed closely behind.

"Commence Operation Clusterfuck! AUBURN!!!" Vanoss screamed as she leaped into the battlefield.

Auburn charged the trooper, hacking a Trooper's arm off and golf-swinging him into the air.

Vanoss fired a Zeus Cannon, propelling him higher, giving Delirious time to fire a Scavenger shot into his arm-stub, the appendage glowing bright yellow as it prepared to explode.

Vanoss launched the Trooper again into his platoon as Panda finished them off with the Sliquifier, causing the troopers to slip and fall as they tried to stand.

By that point, the entire platoon had been taken down.

"YES!!!"

"WE FUCKING DID IT!!!'

"THERE'S STILL A THOUSAND FUCKING MORE!!!!" Panda shouted, pulling out an Admin Gun and splattering at least 20 back up the mountain in a bloody mess.

"I have a plan..! EVERYONE! OPERATION: FIRING LINE!!!" Vanoss yelled again, charging back to meet with the rest of the group.

"This is gonna be a giant fucking mess." Mini shook his head, moving a bowling pin down the back of his shirt, muttering something along the lines of 'it'll be okay, son'.

"AS IF IT ALREADY WASN'T!!!" Nogla yelled.

"ARE YOU READY?!?!" Wildcat roared encouragingly.

"NO!!" Moo shouted.

"YESN'T!!!" Terroriser 'corrected'.

"FUCK OFF!!!"Mini shouted indignantly.

Everyone raised their most powerful weapons, raising them at the largest group of Extremis Troopers.

"FIRE!!!!" Vanoss roared as an entire legion of Extremis Troopers were obliterated in the ensuing Wonder-Weapon/Admin Gun Spam.

Allied forces ducked for cover as the onslaught continued.

"PUSH FORWARD, ADENKORPS!!! THIS FIGHT IS OURS!!!" Alex S 1-14 bellowed as he led his forces in a bayonet charge.

Said bayonets glimmering with plasma energy.

The relentless charge proved effective, with dozens of troops falling in the charge.

"PUSH ONWARD!!!" Alex S 1-14 Roared, hacking an Extremis Trooper in half with a cavalry saber, pressing another button on it's side and converting it into a larger-calibered Mauser C96.

Despite the Armor on the Extremis Trooper proving invulnerable to most attacks, The Concordian Military was making substantial effort in repelling the opposition...

But their hopes were quelled when another wave of Troops, at least 5000 strong, slid down the mountainside.

"RETREAT!!!!!" Alex S 1-14 ordered, as most of his Adenkorps were killetd in the counterattack.

Everyone retreated towards the main base, where most of the refugees were being held.

All but Cade, who stood against the Emperor, grinning wickedly.

"My my... Your lot is confident in repelling the First Wave." Julius smirked.

"First wave?!" Cade gasped, powering down.

"Your friends are talented. Equally matched against my Extremis Troopers. But my Empire has been crafting these since the successes of your own Father during the Inquisitor Wars. Your Father's own tactics... Used against his own men.." The Emperor elaborated.

"But he was one man facing the might of a powerful order. How about a billion men, all of them stronger, smarter, and better-trained than your father at that time?" Julius added, wiping blood from his mouth.

"All of them led by a backstabbing dick with a Napoleon Complex." Cade smirked.

Julius grinned to himself, laughing.

"What's so funny?" Cade demanded.

"Maybe I am a backstabbing dick... a backstabbing dick with two armies."

Cade watched with horror as another Ship drifted into view over the Canyon...

The Amity Colosseum... at least... it was.

Gun Turrets and cannons replaced every window. A symbol of peace and national unity... Twisted and perverted into a machine of war.

And out of it flew Bullheads, hundreds and hundreds of them. Paratroopers of all origins converged with the Extremis Troops.

Remnant and Adenien had united against them.

Even if they got through this invasion.. There would always be more...

Concordia was effectively under siege.

"You're dead, Walker. Your little upstart nation is done for. There will be no retreating, even if you capitulate. I could execute you all and nobody would concern themselves with that little blip on the radar.

On the other hand, the other half of my new army is making massive strides in the conquest of the North American Continent. The forces of the Sunset Union that have taken root in the Pacific Coast have all been massacred. The Brotherhood will be next, and then, your precious Puppet State will be ripped out and gutted, replaced by my own."

Cade was horrified.

There was no saving any of them.

"Not that it will matter any, but do you surrender to my new empire, Cade?" Julius demanded.

Cade glared, raising his weapon once more.

"It won't end. We have millions-"

"-Of refugees. They wanted to escape war, but they found themselves surrounded by it. I won't condemn their poor decision-making, but mark my words, Walker. There will be no mercy for your republic of deserters."

Cade retreated, flying back to the Main Base.

"We're surrounded." Cade stated.

"As if we didn't already know." Oreonna stated in horror.

"S 1-14?" Alex B 0-12 asked.

"Yes, girl?" S 1-14 asked.

"We're the same age- ah, fuck it, whatever. I need a clear communications line." Alex B 0-12 stated.

"What good would that do?" Alex O 9-72 asked, now shaking in his boots.

"What harm would it do?!" Alex B 0-12 retorted.

Alex S 1-14 grumbled.

"They might jam communications, so I suggest you hurry." he quickly said.

"Not that it'll matter, Julius is overly cocky anyways." Cade smirked as Alex B 0-12 ran inside the main base.

Millions of refugees, mostly from America and 1920's Germany, were gathered with little else but the clothes on their backs and scant food rations.

She needed to make a call.

*Corsalia, Vytilis; June 16, 2021; 3:35 PM*

The Auroran Fleet had laid outside of the Corsalian Legion.

The Corsalian Legion consisted of several nations under it's banner, all led by an extensive royal bureaucracy.

Alex had been hired by one of these Royal Burecrats, Countess Oni, years ago to contain a conspiracy that threatened to tear it apart. Though unsuccessful in his own mission of capturing the conspriators and turning them in, he succeeded at preserving the general order, having gained the favor of the Countess in the process, despite his co-workers' attempts to fuck it all up and allowing the sect to escape.

"Countess?" Alex asked.

A royal procession followed the Countess, a slender young woman with brunette hair and green eyes.

"Ah, Alexander. It has been such a long time since we've last seen each other. Come to have me repay my debt?" Countess Oni smirked.

"Actually, yes." Alex stated.

Countess Oni giggled to herself.

"My my... what will you have me do? The old King is practically on his deathbed, and my recent successes ensure that I am a shoe-in for it's replacement, Perhaps a place on the Royal Court? Or maybe you could leave me some heirs..?" Countess Oni smiled.

"... Well, no." Alex flatly replied. He wasn't exactly repulsed by the idea. Hell, his relationship with Yang would pretty much be over if not for Cade and Auburn. There were more important matters to attend to.

"I need some volunteer divisions of the Royal Military. I've been running into some trouble. I assume you've heard about the Great Revival?" Alex asked.

"Ah... Y-Yes, of course.." Countess Oni nodded nervously.

"Well, The Inquisitors are back, and-.. Hold that thought.." Alex stopped as he heard someone call his inter-dimensional Scroll.

"Hello?" Alex asked.

'ALEX, COME IN! ALEX!!!' Alex B 0-12 shouted.

"Dear Christ, I hear you! What's up?" Alex demanded.

"THE FUCKING ADENIEN ARMY HAS US UNDER SIEGE!!! REMNANT'S FLEET JUST ARRIVED, AND THEY'RE DROPPING PARATROOPERS!"

Alex stopped.

"Slow down." Alex stated.

"The Adenien Army's practically swarmed us. They've got airships about the size of football fields, and their troops are covered in at least bulletproof armor the size of a Pontiac. Not only that, but the Armies of Remnant just showed up. They've got us under siege and they've got air superiority. We have millions of refugees here, and if we don't get any help soon, we'll have millions of corpses!" Alex B 0-12 explained.

Alex's blood grew cold.

"I'm working something out now, I'll be here shortly." Alex replied, hanging up.

"Who was that?" Countess Oni asked, concerned at Alex's worried expression.

"You know what Concordia is, right?"

"Ah, yes. I only recently heard the news, it's a new Republic in Remnant." Countess Oni explained.

"The Adenienites and the other Kingdoms of Remnant has them under siege is about to kill every last refugee there unless I come in and help." Alex explained.

"H-How do you expect to help?!" Countess Oni gasped in shock.

"First, I need as many divisions of the Royal Military under your jurisdiction as you can send. I have a fleet of my own, and experience to boot." Alex stated.

"I... I will do what I can.." Countess Oni explained.

Alex raised his communicator.

"Osiris!" Alex called.

"Y-Yes?" Osiris asked.

"We've got divisions coming in, open the doors and prepare everyone we have for action! Once we're done here, We're headed for Concordia!" Alex shouted.

"R-Roger that..!" Osiris shouted.

"Countess. I hope this pulls through, because if this does, we'll save millions." Alex stated.

Countess Oni kissed him on the cheek, much to Alex's shock.

"My, my... Alexander, you never cease to impress and amuse me... I can send 6 divisions of 1100 soldiers. That kiss was for luck." Countess Oni smirked, raising her hand for Alex to shake.

Alex shook Countess Oni's hand.

"Countess, one more thing.." Alex began.

"Very well." Countess Oni nodded.

"I need an A.I" Alex explained.

"We shall provide an onboard Artificial Intelligence as well."

"Thank you. The ships are designed to be controlled by AI, and mine is in an active war zone."
