Dimensional Omega – Chapter 1

Allied Hospital, Oslo, Norway [3:45 PM]

It was two days after a portal of unknown origin appeared near the city. The populace watch in shock of the is before them; some believing it was a realistic scene for a movie while others believed it was an weapon that being prepared to be used against the Allies.

Ever since Third World War started a year ago and continued on across the Earth. First it started between the Allies and Soviet. Then Epsilon appeared from the shadows with technology and manpower that neither faction was expecting. Soon the conflict escalated to a global war between the three powers.

What was not expected when the portal appeared was when a huge creature; a dragon, entered the world. Over a thousand of lives were lost and a quarter of the city was destroyed in a matter of hours when it attacked. Law enforcement in the area attempted to push it back, but their efforts was in vain.

The destruction ended when Harriers from a nearby air base scrambled to intercept the creature. While small arms fire had little effect against it, the dragon was finally killed when HEAT missiles struck its head. Oslo receive relief when an Allied mechanized company arrived to help the injured and reconstruction was soon planned.

"Ugh…"

In a hospital which was left untouched during the attack, lay an injured 22 year old man. He have medium length brown hair, a light stubble and a fit build. However, he had bandages covering the top of head and his right eye, while his left deep green eye was left untouched. He also missing his left forearm, which the stump was wrapped.

He regained consciousness and looked around with his remaining eye. With his body slowly regaining its feeling, he realize what have happened. Touching where is right eye and left forearm used to be, he sighed as he knew this was going to happen.

It was then the door opened and there he saw a doctor and 43 year old military officer with light blond hair and a magnum mustache. His brown eyes show relief as he saw the injured man now awake.

"Patient Lukas Connor is here… He is awake! We expected him to be unconscious for about a week!"

"I know Lieutenant Connor well. It take more than a creature from another dimension to take him out."

After the doctor left the room by the request, the officer approached with a relief look on his face.

"Glad to see you are alive Lukas."

"I think I could say the same Colonel Marcus… I mean Adrian."

Not everyone in the military know, but the two were good friends and greeted each other normally, but only in important military meetings that they refer to each other by rank to keep with formalities.

"Indeed. You were given off-time yesterday, but I heard to risk your life to get as many people away from that creature's rampage."

Lukas recalled the event as he looked at the Colonel. When he was getting a family with a young daughter out of a building, the dragon's tail struck it and began to collapse. He picked up the young girl and threw her at her parents before the building finally collapsed on top of him.

"Off-duty or not, it is my duty as a soldier to save as many innocents as possible. Truth be told, I expected to die when it was buried under the rubble, Adrian."

"I feared that may have happened to you as well, but the doctor told me you're very lucky. Parts of the building actually prevented the larger debris from fully crushing you. However the doctors told me some of it damaged your right eye beyond repair and part of your left arm was severed."

Lukas looked down with a pained look. "Like I said, I did my duty as a soldier. But I fear my military career is over." He served as a squad leader during the ongoing Third World War, but now he was no shape to into the front line. However, he didn't expect Adrian to put his hand on his shoulder and with a small smile.

"Our research division just recently completed reverse-engineering of the Soviet's cybernetic technology. They are currently looking for volunteers for the augmentation process. If you're interested, I can sign you up."

Lukas recall the day when Allied spies successfully stole copies of Soviet cybernetics blueprints. The military was divided on its usage. Some believe it should be used to even the scales against their enemies. Others however felt that the cost of humanity isn't worth its application.

"You know I have some qualms using cybernetics, but knowing our researchers… I am going to something unbelievable, I accept. I will go through with the augmentation as long they don't any unwanted changes to my body." Lukas was one of the few who felt cybernetics have some use, but one shouldn't throw away much of their flesh and blood in the process.

"Very well Lieutenant, I will contact them when I return back to base. Just rest up until then." Adrian then walked to the door, but stopped and turned back to Lukas. "Oh, before I forget. High Command heard of your actions during the attack and are reviewing if a promotion is in order."

Lukas had wide eyes; or rather his remaining left eye. He had mixed thoughts as Adrian then left the room.

"A promotion? I would be pleased of becoming a Captain, but I fear I am not ready. I have only have lead squads into battle. I have yet to lead whole companies…"

5 Months Later

Allied Base - Valhalla, Oslo, Norway [5:30 PM]

After the portal appeared, it never went away regardless of the time passed. With the fear of another creature coming out. The Allies constructed a large fortified base near it to ensure that Oslo isn't threatened again, for reconstruction efforts are underway.

The good news for the Allies is that the portals were not related to the Chronosphere, so there is relief in the military that one of their superweapons wasn't responsible for the Oslo incident. However, the bad news is that in turn, it wasn't possible to close the portal with the Chronosphere. The only option was to create the base with extensive defenses.

While packing variety of defenses such as Gun Turrets and Prism Towers, its greatest asset was a pair of Grand Cannons in the middle of the base on a high platform. If another dragon ever come out, it would feel the wrath of the most powerful cannons the Allies have in their disposal. The new base was named Valhalla due to its extensive defenses and the climate of Norway; suitable when up against the supernatural and unknown.

However, news soon spread that when the portal near Oslo appeared, there were 2 other cases as well. The Russian city of Kazan also suffered a destruction attack and it was reported that a portal appeared somewhere in Antarctica, which was Epsilon primary territory.

Out of concern that the portals may be linked to the same world where the dragon came from, multiple companies of the Allied military were stationed in Valhalla. Initially it consist of hose from the European Alliance, but was soon joined by American units and even those from the Pacific Front; Asian counties that supported the Allies.

While the odds of an attack through the portal by one of the powers is unlikely due to the worlds unknown terrain and the distance of each portal from one another, it is better to be safe than sorry.

At one of the base's multiple helipads, a Stallion transport helicopter arrived on to offload its recent transfers to Valhalla. As it landed and dropped off its passenger, one of them came out wearing a trench coat with an insignia that signify a captain.

He was then greeted by a soldier who saluted him. "Captain Connor. Good to see you sir. Colonel Marcus want to see you."

"Understood. Take me to me."

"Right away sir. Follow me."

Lukas looked around the base as he followed the soldier escorting him. 'It been 5 months and they were able to create a fortress in that period. High Command is surely taking no chances for what lay beyond the portal."

He had the same appearance from months ago, but he was quite noticeable from an ordinary officer. The augmentation process from SteinsTech to replace his lost body parts. His right eye bare a horizontal scar, but now has a cybernetic eye which has blue lens and tiny moving components.

As for his left forearm, there was now a cybernetic replacement in its place. It is humanlike design with a black coating and joints. While calibrated with the strength of a fit human, it can be set in an emergency to the point he could have the strength to bend metal pipes and crush small rocks.

Regarding his rank as Captain, he was given the rank after he undergo the augmentation process due acts of outstanding bravery during the dragon attack. Despite his reservation of getting the rank due to his inexperience in leading larger groups, Lukas display feats of courage and leadership that High Command took into consideration.

As a Captain, he was now sent to battles against the Soviets and Epsilon as a field commander. He was recently transferred to Valhalla as one of the bases many commanders for special operations. By this time, Lukas became experienced in leading companies; both infantry and mechanized on the field.

After walking a considerable distance to the command center and then being lead to the briefing room, Lukas once again was face to face with Adrian. Since it was an important military meeting, they greeted each other by rank. It was because it was Lukas first assignment in a special task force, which its name and objective were not known to him yet. He hoped to learn what he was getting himself into in this meeting.

"Colonel Marcus, Captain Connor reporting."

"Good you're here Captain. We have a long day ahead today."

"I know I been allocated to a special task group, but for what purpose Colonel."

"As you know, I been place in charge of Valhalla and now been given command the task force you are in now. As the objective of the task force."

"What is it?"

"Captain, our objective to explore the world beyond that portal. Our scientist decided to call the world Dimesion-2."

Lukas had a shocked face and Adrian is not surprised. Before, recon drone were sent through the portal to scan its environment. Reports show that it has a similar environment to Earth and scientist say that the atmosphere is like to Earth before the Industrial Revolution. Some drones collect some plant life and it was shown that its genetics are very similar to the ones found here.

Recently, drones were sent through to scan if the surrounding is safe for deployment. After seeing there are no dangerous creatures around, High Command gave the green light for the formation of the Interdimensional Recon Division; the very task force he was placed in command of and which Lukas is part of now.

"We are going to the other side!? What are we supposed to do if we faced hostile creatures?! What if we meet another race beyond our world?!"

"Calm down Captain! I am aware of the dangers, but we are not going in unprepared! Calm yourself."

Lukas took a deep breathe to calm himself as Adrian then started to continue the conversion.

"The task force as known as the Interdimensional Recon Division. We are to explore what lay beyond the portal and report our findings back. Regarding hostile creatures and forces, we are free to engage them if the situation warrants it. Our researchers confirm that the dragon that attacked Oslo had scales and flesh that has a density similar to well-armored tank, so HEAT missiles and AP tank rounds will be provided just in case.

"Huh… Huh… So you're going to lead the recon mission Colonel?" Lukas was able to recover from his recent outburst and now talking formally again. He was after all just been transferred to the base, only to lead an expedition into an unknown world.

"About that… You are in direct command of the recon unit. I have my duties in Valhalla, so I can't directly in the field. I heard that you did well commanding troops in the battlefield, so I know you well be fine leading the recon."

"I… I understand Colonel. Who will be under my command?"

"You will be in command of 6 Cavalier medium tanks and 6 Archon armored multirole carriers. 2 of the Archons are fitted with heavy machine guns and another two are equipped with vehicle repair arms. They will also be transporting squads of G.I.s supported by Field Medics. As for you, you will be commanding in a Thor Gunship. It may be overkill, but High Command isn't taking any chances."

"Understood. Any maps or navigation support?"

"I am afraid not. The drones didn't go far, so we have no long-range maps available. However since you are in a Thor Gunship, you will have a birds-eye view of the terrain. I will provide what findings was made to your PDA. The observation scanner on the Thor is state-of-the-art, so you will able to receive large-scale tactical information quickly."

Lukas was quiet as he was made command of the recon units that was going to be sent to the unknown. Adrian noticed this and asked him one last question, "So will there be anything else?"

Lukas only made a small smirk. "When do I began the operation?"

Unknown Region, Dimension-2 [Believed to be 1:30 AM]

'So this is the new world… I admit it is not what I was expecting. Hard to believe we may have found another Earth."

Lukas was looking at the tactical screen inside the Thor Gunship. He was belted to a seat and the screen as angled so it was like he was using a touchscreen computer. Through it, he saw that the terrain consist of grasslands forests and mountains.

The Thor Gunship was one of most prized aircraft of the European Alliance; one of the key members of the Allies. It was larger than ordinary helicopters and used powerful propulsion systems to move quickly. Its armor can withstand heavy punishment and its uses a miniature weather control beacon to create bolts of lightning to attack; nicknamed 'Mjonir'. It is also equipped with speakers to motivate the friendly troops in its presence. Many in the military dubbed it the best command aircraft available to the Allies.

The recon unit was deployed at 1:00 AM, so to avoid detection since both the creatures and possibly people in the world should be asleep. As everyone got into formation while admiring the scenery, Lukas made give out clear orders to the unit.

"Alright everyone. Explorer-Lead here. Safeties off on all weapons, but only engage if attacked. Don't worry, our weapons are more than sufficient to deal with hostile creatures. Keep your cameras and microphones on to record our findings and be sure to report to me on anything unusual."

Explorer Lead is Lukas in the Thor Gunship. Explorer-1; consisting of the Cavaliers; the most balanced tank in the Allied arsenal regarding both speed, armor and firepower. Explorer-2; consisting of the Archons, armored carriers which sacrifice speed for additional armor; allowing it to act as support in heavy combat zones.

The troops in the Archons consist of a G.I.s; each armed with a Vector CRB and a DSR-80 machine gun. They also supported by a number of Field Medics to treat any possible injuries.

"Any questions?" Lukas heard nothing from the others, showing that they were prepared. He took a deep breath and gave the order. "All units, began the operation!"

Soon Explorer-Lead took point and the rest of the unit followed. The roar of their engines echoed across the landscape as they began their investigation into the region. Despite the peaceful feeling of the landscape, it is foolish to drop their guard in an unknown world.

Thanks to their vehicles, they cover a lot of distance within the region in about 20 minutes. However, it was the usual grassland, trees and mountains. While it would be boring seeing the same scene over and over again, it was much better than fighting huge dragon and is a good break from being in the Third World War and the frontlines.

Lukas was thinking of turning back since they saw nothing of interest. He will report back that the area is clear and that the construction of a forward base is possible. However the thought was broken when he heard his coms.

"Explorer-Lead. Explorer-1-1 here. I see smoke in the horizon and is several klicks away. Should we take a look?"

"It is possibly a sign of life. It would be for our best interest to investigate. Explorer-1 and Explorer-2! Move towards the smoke! If you see any people there, don't fire until I give the order!"

With that order, the recon unit moved at their top speed to reach there. The Thor Gunship moved at slower speed so it could avoid moving too far from the rest of the unit. Yet there were in for a surprised when they got closer to their destination. The entire unit could hire gun shots and cannon fire from the position they were going to!

"Everyone! Do you hear that!?"

"I do Explorer-2-4! Those loud bangs are the sound of tanks firing, but those gun shots… Those are possibly PPSh 41s! But only Soviet Conscripts uses those weapons!"

'Soviets!' Lukas was now concerned on the situation. It seems the Soviets had the same idea with their portal back in Russia. Based on the attack, they are either engaging either one of those dragons or even possibly the world's inhabitants.

"What should we do Explorer-Lead? I know we shouldn't interfere with this world, but I can't stand here doing nothing while the Soviets are doing what god knows what there!"

It was then he made possibly one of the biggest decision in his life. If the Soviets were engaging a dragon, it would be best to leave them be. But if they were engaging defenseless civilians…

"All units! There is possibly Soviets over there. If they are engaging civilians, destroy the attackers and help any injured!"

No one made a compliant and unison, moved their vehicles as fast they could to the battle. The Thor Gunship went top speed in hopes to get the Soviets attention. When it arrived at the edge of what seems to be a field in 10 seconds, Lukas was taken off guard of the scene he saw on his tactical map.

There were the smoothing ruins of tents scattered around and among them are hundreds of slain men with medieval armor and weapons. The map took as much of the battlefield as possible, but there are possibly tens of thousands of dead littering the field. However scans indicate they were not killed with bullets or explosions, so there must been a battle here before and the Soviets ended up coming here first.

When he looked at the strength of the Soviets here, it was recon unit like his. They were in the middle of the ruins and they were small in number. It only consist of 3 Rhino heavy tanks, 2 Tsivils and 10 Conscripts opening firing at the distance. There was a taken out Rhino, which was upside down and its tracks broken. However there wasn't a sign that it was hit by an anti-tank round.

It was clear they are from the Russian military since each key member of the Soviet Union have different doctrines and armaments, just like the Allies. Russia prefer to use heavy weaponry and their advanced Tesla weapons.

When Lukas looked at what they were shooting at, he was in a shock. They were firing at a retreating horde of armored knights. Clearly it was a massacre for they were either gunned down by gun fire and the shells from the tanks were tearing them to shreds. The dead in their area had bullet holes all over their plate armor or were in pieces. Based on the scene, the knights possibly made a charge at them, but were obviously cut down in large numbers and were now fleeing for their lives.

Realizing that the Soviet would possibly chase after them and attack any settlements in their path, Lukas made his move. "Move forward! Let give the Soviets a taste of the sky!"

"Yes sir!" The pilots charged into the fray as the gunner target the beacon at the Tsivils since they have anti-air flak cannons. Soon a miniature black cloud appeared near the aircraft and a bolt of lightning came forth at the Soviets. They were pre-occupied of attacking the fleeing knights that they didn't listen when the Thor Gunship roared into action.

In a split second, the bolt struck on the Tsivils and turning into a burning heap of metal after igniting its ammunition. Conscripts near it was electrocuted and fell to the ground dead. Those still alive looked up and saw the Thor Gunship approaching. The Thor Gunship was equipped with special transmission interceptors, so Lukas could hear the enemy communications if close enough.

"Allies! How did they…?!"

"And a Thor Gunship no less! Our Anti-air weapons will not be effective in its armor! We need to get out of here and warn command! NOW!"

The Rhinos turned to the opposite direction to fall back while the remaining Conscripts rushed to the last Tsivil as it was now aiming its flak cannons at the Thor. However another bolt of lightning struck once again due to the 'Mjonir' Beacon, destroy the transport before it fire a shot along with the Conscripts.

As the Rhinos were making their way to the edge of the forest, Explorer-1 arrived with their cannons loaded and ready to fire.

"Russian Rhinos in our field of fire!"

"Fire at will!"

"Allied Cavaliers! In front!"

"Dammit! Fire! Fire!"

The tanks were now open firing at each other. While the Rhinos had more firepower and armor, the Cavaliers have larger numbers and the support of Explorer-2, who which two Archons fired their 'Mist' missiles at the Rhinos tanks. Despite taking hits and some of the Cavaliers and Archons suffer some damage, the Allies took no casualties.

In less than a minute, the Soviet tanks were now smoking pieces of scrap after being overwhelmed by missiles and shells. As the entire recon units regrouped, they stared at the carnage that occurred on this piece of land. While the world is possibly in the medieval era, it was also the era were battle became bloody with men charging each other with swords and shields.

"Don't lose focus. There are possibly survivors among the dead. All infantry, spread out and find anyone alive." The soldiers staring at the countless bodies littering the ground were able to regain their resolve thanks to Lukas. Despite being soldiers and prepared for death, the sight before them is something that could be erased so easily.

With Luka's order, the Archons unload the infantry and medic on the field and began their search for survivors. He also ordered his pilot with him in the Thor Gunship to scan the field for any life signs. After scans, there are two life signs there."

"Very well. I want the gunship to land here and also get a squad to check for survivors in this area."

"You sure Captain?"

"Yes I am sure. We will carry our sidearm just in case the survivors may become hostile.

"Understood."

He braced himself as the Thor Gunship reached its landing zone seconds later. When it landed, Lukas along with two of the crew armed with weapons and exit the craft. They were surprised of who those survivors were. 'What the, I don't recall girls fighting in a battlefield in Medieval times. This world is much different from the real world than I thought.'

They saw a young girl with blond hair and in medieval armor. She was covered in blood and was cradling an injured girl who was younger. She had silver hair and a revealing blue outfit, but also had a deep, bleeding cut on the side of her belly and had 3 bullet wounds on her right thigh. She was breathing hard and possibly at the risk of dying without proper medical attention due to blood loss.

The blond girl had a fearful and angered look, no doubt of seeing the Soviets decimate the knights and then seeing the Allies come by to attack the Soviets in return. She then shouted in a language that Lukas could recognize as Russian.

'Looks like learning Russian would helpful in this moment. It seems she said "Who are you people?! If you want her, you will to take her from my dead hands!"'

He then took a step forwards and made a handshake gesture. "Don't be afraid. We're friendlies. We destroyed the force that was attacking you. We're are known as the Allies and we mean no harm." Lukas said in Russian, hoping to communicate with her.

She was shocked that he could speak her country's language; broken but understandable. While she was speechless, Lukas then looked at the girl in her arms. "Please come with us. I promise you that your friend will receive the medical attention she needs. We of the Allied Nations will ensure her full recovery. You have my word."

After a moment of silence after looking at her friend's pained face, she then looked at Lukas in the eye. To Lukas, it seems she was choosing either to trust strangers or risk her friend's survival. "Very well. If you promise to ensure Lady Ellenora's recovery, I, Limalisha, will be your prisoner of war."

Lukas and his escorts were shocked of her response, but he made a calm reply. "Don't worry Limalisha, you are not going to be our prisoner. Even if you're one, who treat our prisoners with respect and dignity. We will return you back to your home as soon we get everything sorted out." He was caught of guard of her thought of becoming a prisoner of war. It was suitable for a medieval world like they were in, but he starting to wish that he worded his statement differently to avoid misunderstands.

It was soon a squad of GI approached them with a Field Medic and were relief to see there are survivors of the Soviet attack. They searched the field that the knights were attacked and found no survivors; until now.

"Good to see you all here. Medic, I need you treat this survivor. She is seriously wounded and I need her stabilized on our trip back to Valhalla." Lukas pointed to the girl Limalisha was holding who she called Ellenora.

The Field Medic nodded and kneeled to check on her injuries. Seeing that it wouldn't become fatal later on, he disinfected the wound and dressed it up tightly.

Lukas then pressed on his earpiece to contact the rest of the units. "All units, regroup at my position."

Less than a minute later, the Cavaliers, Archons and G.I.s arrived, which shocked Limalisha to her core. 'Those blue-skinned steel beasts are very different from those that attacked. And those soldiers… Their armors and weapons are unlike anything I ever seen.'

It was a shocking sight for her to see such unknowns that close. In her eyes, in front of here of creatures made of steel and capable of absolute destruction. The soldiers were wearing armor not of metal, but of an unknown material. They also wielded not swords, but strange staves.

It was then the Field Medics came up to Lukas with sad expressions.

"Sir, I am afraid the odds of finding other survivors is slim. Especially with the number of bodies scattered across the field.

"We did what could, that all that matters. Is there room left to transport the survivors in the Archons?"

"We only have one seat left on each of the Archons. I don't think the women would less enthusiastic of being surrounded by us."

"The gunship have enough extra seats to accommodate them. Everyone get ready, for we are heading back."

The soldiers then loaded into the Archons as Lukas and the others when into the gunship. One of the aircraft's crew carried Ellenora inside with Limalisha following into the gunship. She looked in awe of the interior of the aircraft and the technology it was equipped with. It was sight that she never seen before in her entire life. In her eyes, she was entering the belly of a metal beast that could channel the power of lightning.

"What is this strange creature you call gunship? It let you stay inside its belly as it fly in the sky and fires bolt of lightning at its foes."

"Sorry, anything regarding the Thor's armaments is classified information. But I can promise you what you are going see in Valhalla is like no other."

Lukas helped buckled her and the unconscious Ellenora in their seats before doing back to the tactical screen. As he buckled up, he give the order to move out.

"This is Explorer-Lead! We are done here! Our destination is Valhalla! Explorer-1 and Explorer-2, follow me!"

Much to Limalisha surprise, she felt the aircraft lifted off the ground and into the sky. She tightened her grip on the straps as it moved at a speed she hasn't experienced before. The rest of unit followed suit and moved back into formation. It was another 20 minutes of following the path they took in reverse, but had no incidents on the way. It was then they finally had the portal in their sights.

"You all did well out there. Take a good night rest. You all deserve it." Lukas couldn't only breathe a sigh of relief as they enter the portal back to Earth.

Author's Note:

Here is my new story after giving the idea some thought. Understand that this is not a true "Gate: Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri" story; for it only takes the concept of a portal to another world. The only difference is that there are multiple portals to the same fantasy world. I have an idea of the story being a multi-crossover that may include the Gate world, but I am not sure to go with it or not.

The fantasy world is obviously the Vanadis world, but the modern world is actually the Mental Omega world. Mental Omega is a unofficial expansion to Command & Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge, which is found on the internet. If you want details about the units used in the story, check the site out. You will be surprised of how much work and details were put into the game.

Since I was rather late in knowing about Gate, I had the feeling that the idea I put into the story was already thought in the past. To anyone who had such an idea before, I apologize for making use of the idea.

As a final note, I made some progress in my stories, but I ended up getting a number of group projects. While they took some of my time, I still have time to write and update my stories. I am not a full-time writer and I only write when I am in the mood, so please be patient.
