Chapter 2 - It's only getting worse . . .
After everyone safely returned to their respective factions, things were taking a good turn. More anomalies had been located and "rescued" from the harsh environments, and progress had finally been made towards getting these people home.
However, things were only continuing to worsen for Earth and it's inhabitants...

Washington DC
GDA Headquarters
3 Hours Later...
With the teams safely arriving at base, Jack Granger welcomed them in with a worried face. Around the office, soldiers, technicians, military brass and other noteworthy officers were scrambling around in panic, assigning orders to each other.
"Thank you for coming, but I'm afraid time is of the essence. Not long after your pilots made the call back, we encountered a new problem."
Pulling up footage on one of the central monitors, everyone would bear witness to an array of satellites firing towards unknown objects in space. One shot connected, but split it into several fragments that descended towards the surface. The screen then flashed a news reporter:
"Fifhteen Thirty Seven, Eastern Standard Time, Thirty Nine Alien Spacecrafts crashed into Red Zones on every continent. While the purpose of these crafts are unknown, there's no mystery about their intentions."
The footage then cut to these crafts deploying across several locations filled with Green Tiberium Crystals, coating the landing zones in dust. Once the dust started to evaporate, large alien towers were in their place:
These started spilling out various alien bug like creatures and advanced spacecrafts that are akin to fighter jets. More footage then began appearing which showcased their intentions.
Cities were under siege as these crafts initiated bombing runs on populated city centres; advanced spaceships floating above even the tallest skyscrapers as various bugs assaulted the populace; killing anything and everyone in their path.
Granger then looked towards the party with a face of stoic worry, and professionalism as his assistant; Sasha, pulled up another terminal which revealed an encrypted communication.
"I'd like to introduce you all to our best field commander. Unfortunately in order to protect him, his name, location and related information are extremely classified."
"Good to meet you all. I look forward to working with you as we deal with these invaders. What do you have to tell me, sir?"
"What I'm about to tell you all is highly classified information. In 2028 GDI confiscated an artefact from Nod that was clearly not of this Earth. They called it the Tactitus. All we know from our decryptions so far was that it contained a warning of a potential alien invasion. The connection between it and the beginning of the Continuum Cataclysm is barely a coincidence. These invaders have struck every Blue and Yellow zone across Earth, using Red Zones as their bases of operation. Even Nod were not able to mount a counter offensive against them. We have reports that the Japanese are holding their own, but they will not last long on their own."
Granger then turned to the Commander.
"Which means the burden falls entirely on us. Which is why, I'm giving you all the worst mission on the board; Germany. I'm not going to mince words, the situation is extremely dire. But you're the best we've got. Special Agent Nova will give you what you need to know."
A woman then entered the room. Equipped in a futuristic infiltration suit and visor, with a sniper rifle of some sort strapped to her back, she introduced herself to the group.
"Our mission is in Germany, specifically in a place called Munich. According to our intel, Munich was the first Yellow Zone to be converted to a Blue Zone thanks to GDA's research into quelling Tiberium Mutation. It's a research lab for future studies and prevention. However, these invaders are currently assaulting the area and the lab was destroyed."
"A small team of Engineers and Scientists escaped and are on route for pickup, however the aliens are hot on their trail. They must make it safely to Salzburg, which is why I'm sending you all in to ensure they do."
"We won't let you down, sir."
"Affirmative."
Nova then turned towards the group.
"I'm sure you all must have many questions about the situation. Speak them now."

Three Hours Later...
Meanwhile back at one of Nod's facilities; the Commando had taken everyone to see Kane in one of his secret bunkers. With Haru in tow, the group eventually arrive at a Temple of Nod, where Kane and a few other members were waiting. One particularly alien stood out above them all, being one of Kane's trusted members of the Black Hand. With his Tal'Darim warriors in tow, they had made great strides against GDA occupations in various yellow zones. Another was a machine that looked particularly rusty and had a paint of orange, but his killing intent was immense, alongside his perversion of love.
"My children, the prophecy has been realised. As we speak, our alien friends have landed and are already engaging GDA forces. However, we have a new problem."
Kane turns to a terminal which reveals the location of a former Nod Base; Sarajevo; otherwise known as Temple Prime. It revealed that several Nod Soldiers were facing off against other members of the Brotherhood in a struggle. Kane then resumed speaking, this time anger in his voice.
"Once again, the world is quick to bury me. How could my own brothers believe that what transpired at Temple Prime did not unfold exactly as I planned…"
His voice then started to slowly raise in volume as he continued.
"Of course I could not have anticipated an ambush, BY MY OWN FORCES!!"
Kane immediately stood up and continued.
"Of all of Killian's offences and they are legion, her proclamation that the visitors are an even greater threat than GDA is an affront to everything I have planned for the Brotherhood. For this sin, she must be punished."
"Statement: Killian is surely entrenched within a defensive position, master. I suggest we mount a full offensive."
"I agree. Her treachery cannot stand."
The Order stated as she looked over the situation. Meanwhile, Kane turned over to Haru and V with a bit more of a calm demeanor, as well as addressing Alarak in the process.
"What say you, my children?"

A new group of Anomalies had been ripped from their respective realities. They would wake up and discover that they were on a moving fortress of futuristic design...
Waking from what feels like a coma and mild concussion, they would soon discover that a group of Soldiers from several different angles converged on them, readying their rifles and aiming at them.
"侵入者!あなたの手をとどまるか、処刑されます!"
( Translation: Intruders! Stay your hands or be executed! )
"気軽に!"
( Translation: At ease! )
A woman's voice shouted menacingly as a woman approached the group, causing the soldiers to lower their weapons.
"Forgive them. I am Naomi Shirada, Admiral of the Empire of the Rising Sun, and you are currently situated on the Azure Dragon; one of our Floating Island Fortresses. State your names."
Her demeanour held no peace, no mercy. Only calculated brutality.
