Chapter 1: The Portal Rift

Twilight was preparing to go out to the Everfree forest with Applejack and Rainbow Dash. For the past few days there has been a strange shimmer of lights coming from deep within the forest. Twilight had sent a message to Princess Celestia asking if she could get permission to investigate the strange phenomenon. Princess Celestia agreed and wrote
"stay safe my little ponies, especially you my faithful student." and with that Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash departed for the forest.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What do you think we are gonna find? A dragon? A huge monster! Or maybe even... An Alien!!!" screeched Rainbow Dash in her excitement.

"Now listen here. we aint gonna find no aliens in this here forest Rainbow! we all know that alien don't exist."

"You never know! Everypony thought Nightmare Moon was a myth and where did that get us!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Twilight now annoyed with the two ponies yelling at each other finally said

"Now everypony just calm down! There is no such thing as aliens! There is no way an alien could be here. Its probably some creature in the Everfree, we still don't know about all the things that live here. It could be a new creature."

"see? just listen to here Twilight, she knows whats up!" Said Applejack as she winked to Twilight. The trio of friends continued towards the shimmering light.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile back at the Scrin tower
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Nod solider entered John's tent and poked him on the shoulder

"General Sir! Kane asked me to make sure you're up and ready for the final speech before we move out sir!" John opened his eyes and saw the Solider leave the tent.

"Shit I guess I got a little too much rest" Mumbled John as he got up and dressed himself in his finest Nod general apparel. "I had better get over to the podium and meet Kane before he gives his final speech! I Don't want to let Kane down." John quickly grabbed his gauss rifle and slung it over his back as well as put his trusty custom made Magnum into its holster. "Finally we get to see what ascension looks like."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the Everfree forest
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The trio of ponies were closing in on the source of the shimmering light. Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash had entered a massive grass clearing.

"Whoa, this here clearing looks giant!" exclaimed Applejack not comprehending what shes seeing. Twilight and Rainbow Dash were equally startled at the sight of the huge clearing.

"This looks like it goes on for miles! And whats that!" Twilight said as she pointed her hoof at the large glowing arc.

"Whoa!!! What is that thing! Its MASSIVE!" Rainbow Dash said as she began to to loops in the air with excitement.

"Whoa there Rainbow! Don't go and sprain a wing ya hear!" Applejack yelled. Rainbow Dash then landed trying to calm herself down but still very excited.

"What do you think it is Twilight?" Rainbow Dash said looking into Twilight's eyes

"I-I don't know. It looks like some kind of light is emitting from it." said Twilight startled.

"emi- emeetid... ugh what was that egg head?" Rainbow Dash said jokingly.

"Its glowing..." Said Twilight annoyed.

" ah, I see well do you think it is safe?" Rainbow Dash said as she slowly started to approach it.

"Be careful Rainbow, I don't know if it is safe or not." Twilight started to move to block Rainbow Dash when the arc began to glow extremely bright. Twilight didn't know what she was looking at. It looked like a big black shadow in the portal was facing the opposite way and looked like it was speaking to something?

Back in the Nod camp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Prepare brothers and sisters! Tonight we enter the portal and we start our new life in the land of Nod! All MCV's begin to move into the portal! Peace through Power!" Kane began to move towards me. He then gave me a file

"The inventory we are bringing with us." I opened the File to see this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nod Inventory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What? I wonder why we are bringing so much stuff. Then again, why leave it all for the GDI to scavange up!"
John was still tense though. He was worried. Why were they bringing Tiberium? I guess I will have to ask Kane myself later. For now I have to pack up all my stuff. I Don't want to leave anything GDI will take. Leave the dogs they are sitting in out dust wondering where we are. ha, I like the picture that gives me. Seeing the GDI on their asses wondering were we left.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in the GDI outpost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yes sir... I... Yes... Are... Are you sure sir? It can't be! How has the Tiberium spread so fast! I thought we had contained it I thought we ha- What was that? The Scrin did something to the Tiberium?" The next thing Boyle heard made his jaw drop. "Within the next year Earth will be uninhabitable? And we can't stop it? Yes I will make sure Nod pays." Boyle hung up the phone.

"Who was that Director?" Parker said as he moved into the office.

"It was the President. It seems the Scrin did something to the Tiberium and now it is spreading at a dangerous rate. At its current rate within next year Earth will be uninhabitable." Boyle's voice was almost at a whisper "God damn it!" Boyle then smashed his computer with his fist but not reacting to his now bloody knuckles. "Parker... As bad as this may sound. We need to take that portal. Without it the Human race will die. Earth is lost, we have to accept that." Boyle now speaking in a calm voice.

"The main force is almost there and the European soldiers are moving in for the kill, though I doubt they will succeed with such a task. Nod outnumbers that force ten to one! But now that I know if we do not take that portal, we will die. That is good enough to make even me fight and die gloriously, if it means saving the human race. I will rally the men. Tomorrow the portal is ours!" Parker walked out of the office still filled with dread. He could feel something horrible is going to happen.

Back in the Everfree
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight had heard a flapping noise coming from behind her, but it was a much louder noise than Rainbow Dash's Flapping. It was Princess Celestia!

"Prin- Princess?! What are you doing here? I thought you said we could investigate?"

"I had been worried. I have never in my life time seen the Everfree glow like it has and had to see what it was for curiosity sake. But now it seems that my curiosity is sated." The portal began to glow very brightly again, this time sound was getting through.

"Come men! Today we leave Earth and live in what is rightfully ours!" Twilights eyes lit up.

"They can speak Equestrian?" As Twilight said that an armada of creatures began to walk out of the portal. The now group of 4 ponies just watched in awe.

"Quickly get close to me, I will cast an invisibility spell around us" Celestia quickly cast the spell.

"Wait I was right they're Aliens!" Rainbow Dash said in the most silent shout she could make.

The creatures were bi-pedal. They all looked the same, possibly uniform. They had a lot of discipline to be walking in formation and seemed to "March" simultaneously. They were a mixture of Red and Black creatures that seemed to be holding large black metal sticks. Twilight was running all this through her mind then a more leader like creature stepped out. He began to speak Equestrian once again.

"I want some scout groups to scout out the edge of this clearing" Quickly two groups of three broke out from the armada and ran in opposite directions towards the clearing edge. One group were just normal Nod soldiers, the other group... The other group were GDI extremists.

Long before the attack on the Scrin tower 3 GDI commandos joined the Brotherhood to try to steal information on troop movements and other things that would give GDI a tactical advantage. The group was composed of Commander Daniels, Sargent Colden and Corporal Lively. They had been with the Brotherhood for quite some time now.

"Hey Colden, we finally got to break from the main force. Wanna play some cards later?"

"Shut up Lively! I'm not playing cards until we can report all this back to the GDI force."

"All of you shut up about GDI! Do you want to get caught? No. So shut the fuck up!" As if on cue a Nod shadow elite uncloaked and spitted on the ground

"Traitors... Everyone! GDI traitors! Kill them!" Lively quickly spun around and precisely put 3 bullets into the elite. 2 shots around the heart area and one shot into the T zone in the head, a kill. As if almost immediately Nod forces returned fire hitting Lively 6 times in the chest.

"Shit! Run Colden!!!" The Commander and the Sargent began to run into the forest.

Twilight could not believe what she was seeing. Did she just witness these creatures killing their own? She couldn't get the sight of the Corporal's body hit the grass after getting hit with an unknown object. She definitely saw the blood go flying.

Daniels and Colden were still running as fast as they could. Nod soldiers were firing into the woods hoping that a shot would connect with one of the traitors. Colden took 2 shots in the abdomen and collapsed. Daniels dropped to the ground and killed the 3 Nod soldiers trailing him with his sidearm. Celestia and the three ponies were close by watching the commander. Even Celestia knew the Sargent could not be saved.

"Come on Colden! Don't die on me! I promised I would never lose my squad again! I promised I would get you back to your wife and kids! I fucking promised damn it!"

"g-g-go... and p-please... tell my wife I.. I died do-doing what I do b-best..." Colden's head turned to the side, his eyes devoid of life.

"No!!! I will avenge you damn it! I am going to kill every fucking single one of those Nod bastards! First the kill our home planet now they kill you! I'm gonna fucking kill all of them!!!"

A Nod soldier appeared from behind a tree took aim and fired off his rifle. A shot connected with Daniels shoulder, but that didn't stop him from firing the rest of his sidearms clip into the mans head. Daniels fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

"Quickly we must get him! He has good in his heart, I can feel it." Celestia scooped up the Commander with her magic and continued to watch the portal for one more moment.

"Men! Bring in the MCV's!" Celestia curious to see what an MCV is began to watch as a massive four legged machine walked towards a clear area and transform into a large building. Celestia, the Commander and the three ponies teleported off to Canterlot.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John entered the portal.

"ah ha! Smell the sweet fresh air Kane?" "I do! Isn't this land glorious!" Kane began to instruct men to set up tents and prepare the MCV's. John watched as a good 50 or so Venom aircraft flew out of the portal and flew in different directions in the forest. Most likely scouting out the area. He then witnessed a good hundred Scorpion tanks begin to push down all sorts of trees to make room for the new Nod base. By now some of the men had come in contact with the wildlife. A large lion/scorpion thing began to move towards the camp roaring at all his might. Nod soldiers easily riddled the beast with bullets and continued with their duty's like nothing even happened.

Nod forces continued to build up tents and barbed wire at the the clearing edges now that the scorpions tripled the surrounding area. They began to dump about 30 capsules of Tiberium into a nearby crevasse. Soon this planet will be rich with Tiberium, but this time we will be able to control its spread. Slowly but steadily a Refinery was constructed and the Harvesters that came with them, filled with Tiberium began to unload their cargo.

It has only been 3 hours and this new Nod base is almost fully functional. Now all it needs is a few reactors and the base will be powered up and ready to go. By now John and Kane are debating whether or not that they should use the flame tanks to burn down a majority of the forest to give them better sight around their base.

"Kane I think we need to burn down this forest immediately. If there is more of those strange creatures, we need to eliminate some and hopefully give us more line of sight to see the attacks coming." Kane responded

"But why burn down this lushes forest? This is our world now. I think we are more than capable of taking out those little creatures. How about this? If we are attacked and we have a causality I will reconsider." John nodded and walked over to his assigned MCV. John began to mumble to himself.

"Tomorrow I will send out a scout team to see what lies past this forest. Maybe there is natives here. It looks like this planet is developed enough. I guess I will have to find out." John removed his weapons and clothing and went to sleep.
