NOTE: This is not entirely cannon in the Tropico 4 universe, as Juanito appears as well as Dr. Steinschneider without his actions in the game's Campaign, the soldiers in this story are also mostly using AK-47s instead of the M-16s depicted in game.
"I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man." - Che Guevara
Tropico, October 1974
El Presidente huffed on his cigar. He had heard that the Americans were at an all time low on the diplomatic scale, but surely they wouldn't invade him. His life was good, he had a 'study session' with Miss Pineapple tonight, still, having talked to Ambassador Crane the night before put him on edge just a bit. He knew that the Ambassador would try to scare him, being aligned with the communists more than the capitalists. Suddenly, Penultimo rushed into the room, a solider following behind him. El Presidente put the cigar down and looked up at the incompetent man before him.
"What do you want? I'm busy ruling!" He stated at Penultimo.
"El Presidente, foreign gunships have been spotted circling the waters near Tropico!"
El Presidente, turned on his radio, and looked out the window with a set of binoculars. He saw the American warships circling the nation, and heard Jaunito say something about the Americans being hypocrites 'for invading a democracy with values they so often claim to defend'. He picked up a telephone, and dialed the number for General Rodriguez.
"What can you do about the Americans?" He asked his military head.
"Uh, not much I'm afraid sir, they say they'll invade soon if we don't do what they want?"
"What do they want?"
"Nothing we can do, si-"
He had already hung up and began dialing his chief scientist.
"Hello Dr. Steinschneider."
"AGH! Vat iz it Presidente?"
"Did you build the nuclear weapons that I asked for?"
"Nukes?" He said surprised, "I built portal to alternate universe though."
"Can you get it up and running in a week?"
"Of course, Presidente."
El Presidente hung up and ordered his men to dig positions on the beaches of the island. He sighed. Well, at least he could still have his 'study session' with Miss Pineapple.
The Ambassador was in the airport when war was declared, getting on board a small prop aircraft. The American tourists were being evacuated from the island as El Diablo and the nationalists were killing them in their riots. Mr. Crane was pulled from his seat, and slammed onto the runway as two SWAT members approached. The men leveled their MP5s with his head, as Rodriguez walked up and pointed his .45 at the man's head.
"You lose," he said, pulling the trigger and sending a bullet through his brain.
The American Captain John Wilkins, on the USS New Jersey sipped from his cup of coffee. He looked at the small island in disdain.
"When we gonna fire?" The Captain asked the other ships' Captains.
None of them knew. He sighed, slumping back in his chair. This was defiantly going to be a long day.
He looked at his watch. 14:34. Nothing was going to happen that would disturb the world that moment. He considered phoning his family back home. He didn't. He talked to the officer next to him about football when a radio call came in.
"Battlegroup 2-0, we are mission go, I repeat, mission go, begin the assault."
The Captain stood up quickly and acknowledged. He smiled. This would be a real use for his 16' cannons.
El Presidente's Rolls-Royce narrowly dodged a piece of the palace that fell off behind him. Penutinmo wasn't the best driver- but he got the job done. He hoped he could get to the Academy of Science before the Americans arrived on shore. An F-14 destroyed a Tropican helicopter flying over the park, followed by an A-6 bombing the Army base nearby. El Presidente saw a AH-1 Cobra flying over the city, as it fired its cannon at his car. The car flipped and El Presidente climbed out of the mangled wreckage, with Penutinmo dying in the crash. He ran towards the destination about a block away now.
An American AAV stopped in front of him, allowing a group of Marines to exit the vehicle and point their M-16s at his head, forcing him to place his pistol, A Colt M1911, on the ground . A UH-1N lowered behind him as the Marines were to load him into it. An APC rounded the corner of the street and fired on the Huey, causing it to crash into the Cinema nearby.
Tropican Army troops got out of the APC, one firing at the Cobra helicopter with his SAM missile launcher, another attempting to destroy the AAV, others shooting at the Marines with their AK-47s. El Presidente picked up his .45 and unloaded his clip into the US soldiers nearby. As he caught his breath, he picked up a M16A1 from one of the soldiers, as well as several clips from the body. He took off running towards the building, which was now three hundred yards from him. A Tropican Jeep rounded the corner, revealing General Rodriguez to be driving.
"Get in Senor!" He told El Presidente as he fired his rifle at the oncoming soldiers.
The Jeep pulled on to the sidewalk near the building, blocked by the sandbags the SWAT members had put up in front of the Academy. The General and El Presidente ran forward only to have Rodriguez taken down by an American sniper in top of the skyscraper hotel. Presidente had entered the building when the roadblock was crushed by a Sheridan tank.
Dr. Steinschneider was already gone when El Presidnete rushed into the room with the wormhole machine in it. It didn't take him long to figure out where he went. The machine was on and El Presidente was ready. He plunged through the multiverse.
Princess Celestia was talking to Shining Armor in her throne room when he appeared. He wore strange green clothes and held a black stick in his hands.
