Gate: War Of Two Worlds

There will be five men around a warm fire, trying to stay warm. It is currently night and they will be trying to rest after the bloody battle a few days ago.

"Man, I can't wait to get home." One of them will say.

"Are you kidding? Do you really want to go back home after what we been through?

They will just put you back into the army or enslave us." One of the men will reply.

"And besides, we are free now. We can take whatever we want. **** anyone we want. No lord or king telling us what to do." A third man will say laughing.

The five men will laugh and glass mugs together.

"Why hello boys. I see you all been having a fun time."

They will all look around, wondering where the voice came from. Then they will look up at the massive rock next to them and see the demi-goodness Rory Mercury. A servant to the Emory, the god of darkness, war, violence and death.

All the men will tremble in fear, taking a few steps backwards away from their camp.

She will jump off the rock and land by the fire. She will swing her halberd behind her back. She will glance to her right and see three n.a.k.e.d dead women. She will then glare at them. "I was told some bandits attack a small village nearby. I take it was you five."

Before anyone of them knew what to do, one of them would just charge her, taking a swing with his sword. He would be chopped down in seconds, without any effort. Two more would charge but the other two would run away.

Rory would easily rush towards the two attacking her and slash them in half. Once they were dead, she would catch up to one of the once that was running away. He would fall over scared to death.

"Please don't kill me! I didn't mean it! I was forced to." The man will say, begging for his life.

She will step on him, preventing him from escaping. She will toss her halberd to the last bandit. It would swing like a boomerang, slashing him in half and return to Rory hand.

She will lick her lips, enjoying the smell of the dead.

She will then look down. "Begging, mercy. I highly doubt that you gave them that honor."

He will continue begging for her to spare his life.

She would just about cut his head off his body but then she freezes.

"Hmm... I am wondering though, why are you bandit's way out here? I have felt the many soul's pass through me in recent weeks." Mercury will say to him, wanting answers. "And it seems you five are well equipped."

"Aww... well... we came from Alnus Hill. We were sent to battle and was defeated by these... soulless monsters. We had a hundred thousand, from all of the Empire kingdoms. All dead. I am just trying to get home." The man says, hopping that she will let him go.

She will think on that, very interesting story if it's true.

"What do you mean by monsters?" Rory asks him.

The man hesitates to answer. He sees Rory lift up her weapon, ready to slay him.

"WAIT!... I don't know what they look like. That have powerful magic. We never even got close to see them. They slaughtered us because we even got to them!" The man yells scared to death.

"Very interesting." She says as she slashes his head off, seeing she won't get any more information out of him.

Once she is done, she will begin walking away from the camp.

"Alnus Hill. These monsters must be slain. I will not allow these poor people to be slaughtered by anyone." Rory says to herself, wondering what could possibly that man mean by monsters. "I must meet these and judge for myself."

--- Alnus Hill, five miles away ---

Two JLTV and a supply truck will leave the American controlled hill of Alnus. It will be Vanguard-7 on their first exploration mission into this new world. They won't be the only team being sent out, four others Ranger teams organized as Vanguard will also be sent out to explore this world, make peaceful contract with nearby villages and locate enemy positions and figure out what this world even is. We know nothing about this place and that has been making it hard to form a strong war strategy.

Major Sharpe will be sitting in the passenger seat in the lead JLTV, talking on the radio. He will be speaking with one of the other teams that got sent out. "Don't forget Bailey, when you die out there, I get your sport car."

"Hell no. Sharpe, I will send you a therapy book, after I register a reading class for you." Captain Bailey will say, sarcastically.

Alicia will be sitting in the back, reading a book as she partly listens in. "Boys... they never grow up."

"Be my guess, just make sure she is a hot teacher. Now watch your six." Sharpe will say back.

"Your team to. Vanguard-5 out." The radio will go quite as their convoy heads north.

Once the conversation is over, Alicia makes a comment to her boss. "You seem to be in a happy mood today major."

Sharpe glances back. He knows what he means. Since he took command of this unit six months ago, he has not left a good impression. He knows that and regrets that, but he just couldn't help it.

"Well yeah. Always wanted to go into space, well visit a new planet. Here we are." Sharpe says. "We are the spearhead of this grand discovery."

"Damn right." Staff Sergeant Andrew Steele says. "Were going to be in the history books for this."

It will be a little quite in the vehicle until the driver, Steele speaks up. "I take it you two are close friends?"

"Bailey? Yeah." Sharpe will reply. He will look out his window, thinking about some his past missions. "Andrew… and Alicia. Lesson from the wise, were going to need all the friendsh.i.p.s we can muster in this one. We're going to need to watch each other backs."

Alicia will be the one who speaks up. "You don't sound confident in our mission."

"It is not that. Everything we knew, all of our rules and values are going to be tested to the extreme. We have invaded a Lord of the Rings like world. It looks like we are technologically superior however that does not mean we don't come out unscarred. Even if we think we have everything figured out, always remember the enemy gets a vote. But if we are not careful, this will end up like another War on Terror."

"The reason why we are being sent out first, for these recon missions is because we are the ones who will be making the rule book. Everything we do will set the standard for the foreseeable future." Sharpe will finish, thinking on the situation.

"Alright Steele, lets head that way, maybe that path will head to a town or something."
