"All right, we reached our landing zone. Exit the helicopter and continue the mission." One of the pilots said to all 3 marines. All three of them started getting up and started exiting the helicopter. After they got off, the helicopter took off and started returning back to the carrier. They walked through a dirt road, holding their guns tightly in their hands while observing the environment. They saw vast rice fields all around them.
"What do you think the locals would think if we told them that we came from another nation that they never heard about, LT?" Sgt. Nakamura asked Lt. Harries while they were walking on the dirt road.
"I can't imagine that. When I landed in Japan for their surrender back in the operation, they were unhappy because even though they had Alone's technology which were very advanced for their time, they couldn't even defend themselves from our Navy." Lt. Harrier replied back. "And what I like the most is the 10 Megaton Nuclear Bomb dropped on Berlin, Germany. We dropped it during the night and they were like 'a sunrise during the night?' and Kaboomm, one big mushroom cloud and they surrender. This reminded me of WW2 but reversed for them." he laughed.
"Speaking of WW2, Japan caused a lot of war crimes against us, right Sergeant Nakamura?' Sgt. Zhang asked Sgt. Nakamura.
"Hey, don't talk about that. It is not our fault that we attacked you." Sgt. Nakamura replied
"Hey, stop that! Anyway, how many gold coins have both of you brought? Lt. Harries asked both of them
"Hmm, Admiral McClusky advised us to bring a lot but not too much, so both of us brought 80 coins." Sgt. Zhang replied.
"You brought 152,000$ worth of gold coins? Are you both insane!? We only need like 20 to 30 gold coins which could be enough to last us here for many months." Lt. Harries replied back after checking the price of the total coins. "Sir, are you good with us taking 80 coins, Admiral?" He asked Admiral McClusky through his radio.
"It is OK. You have my permission to take gold coins as long as it doesn't exceed 160,000$." Admiral McClusky replied back.
"Thank you, sir. Have a good day." He finished the talk and asked both of them to continue the journey.
They walked along the dirt road while constantly checking their tablets to make sure that they were heading the right way.
After around 40 minutes of walking, they reached the kingdom and there were a lot of carts but most of them carried wheat and other crops. After around 10 minutes of waiting, they reached the gate where they were stopped by guards and were asked the reason they were there. Lt. Harries told the guard that they are here to seattle. The guard checked them and found no weapon because they had never seen guns before and they thought those were just magic items. The guard let them in and walked through the gate, going inside the city.

"So, this is the new quantum supercomputer, huh. What is it called?" Admiral Davidson asked one the representative of TSMC
"Yes, this is the new quantum supercomputer. It is called 550C. It can be used to automate most of the jobs. We have already tested it. It is very suitable for military purposes, especially on aircraft carriers." the representative of TSMC replied back.
"We'll consider buying later. Anyway, gentleman, the situation in the state of Persian is getting worse. Hezbollah is currently building its army back after we destroyed them 1 year ago. We need to find the person behind their funding." Said General Zheng He
"We have tracked down a call from the government building of the State of Persian which led to the Hezbollah base that we destroyed last year. We believe that it is Mr. Navid Mortezaei who is behind all the funding since he is also the head of the finance of the State of Persian. The Persian state swat team will be arresting him when we have enough evidence. Right now he is just a suspect." Chief of Space Operations, Ethan Parker continued "One more thing I need to consider is our space warfare carrier, UESF Admiral, is over 40% completed. Its main goal is to fight Aliens threat from space and to carry 1000 civilians to Mars. We built this Space Carrier to utilise the resources that our solar system has to offer. Ever since we got teleported here, we have identified two planets that are sustainable for life, with the right atmospheric pressure, ocean, and temperature for humans to live. Next year, we will send 30 scientists there to do more research on those planets. As for now, UESF Admiral will be carrying the New 7th gen F-47A Raptor II which can do both air and space combat with ease."
"Is that capability of the space carrier, Mr. Parker? And also, what surprised me the most is that the F-47 Raptor II program took 5 years to develop and over one and a half trillion dollars spent." Admiral Davidson asked
"No, there are more. We finally discovered light speed travel. UESF Admiral will be able to do light speed travel which will help us a lot. The carrier's engine is finally entering its final testing phase. The carrier will be completed in 6 to 7 years. According to this diagram, the carrier is 700 metres long and 80 metres in height. As for the F-47 Raptor program, LockHeed Martin, Dassault, and Sukhoi really spent the money wisely. The program only cost the Pentagon one and a half trillion dollars and it is worth it unlike the joint strike fighter program that cost almost $1 trillion and over the budget. " Said by CoSO, Mr. Parker.
"How much has this space warfare carrier program already cost, Mr. Parker" Admiral Davidson asked again
"This program has already cost over $100 billion since its start in 2031. The Engine alone already took us 5 years to develop." CoSO, Mr. Parker, replied back.
Luminaris City, Eldoria Kingdom

All three of them walked through the city and drifted through their thoughts because they felt like they were living in the mediaeval era. They noticed that the locals used English to communicate with each other. The buildings were 1 to 2 stories high and were made out of wood with similar design to the England Tudor Era. They reached the market and the market was crowded with people because it was Sunday. While they were looking around in the market, Lt. Harries spotted two people who looked familiar to him. He approached them and was surprised because they were Sgt. Jaxon "Jax" Steele and Sgt. Liam Cross who disappeared during operation persian state and the Army had been trying to find them for the past one year. He hugged both of them and asked both of them how they managed to be all the way here on this random planet. Sgt. Nakamura and Sgt. Zhang asked Lt. Harries who they were and Lt. Harries introduced both of them. Sgt. Cross asked Lt. Harries if they could talk in their house. He reluctantly agreed and went there with the other two sergeants.
At the house, all of them stared at each other when Sgt. Cross spoke "Err, this story is very complicated, lieutenant." Sgt. Cross continued "So, basically, during the operation, while we both were entering the base, a shine of light surrounded us and bam! we were teleported here. And because we both are very good at English, especially phonetics symbols, we became kindergarten teachers here. Peaceful life."
"Anyway, Do you have any info on this kingdom, Sergeant Cross? If you have, tell us all." Lt. Harries asked.
"You want information about this kingdom? I have a friend. He is still in the Academy but he knows a lot about this kingdom. If you want, I could go to his house now because today is sunday." He asked "Anyway, how did you get here, Lt?"
"You see, the situation is very complicated. All 7 continents were teleported here but we don't know how. The Congress tasked the Pentagon to make contact with the new kingdoms." Lt. Harries continued "Just call him. I'll report back to the carrier that we found you." Lt. Harries replied back.
After this, Sgt. Cross left the house and went to the student's house. Lt. Harries picked up his tablet and made a report back to the carrier.
After a few minutes of waiting, Sgt. Cross came back with a teenager who was wearing normal clothes. Lt. Harries asked the teenager about his name and he replied back saying that his name was Finn and he was still in the Academy.
"So, Finn, before I start asking you about the kingdom, what do they teach at the Academy?" Lt. Harries asked.
"They teach us magic." He replied
"Hmm, Magic, I thought that only exists in movies. Anyway, tell me about the kingdom and its history." Lt. Harries asked
"This kingdom is called Eldoria. For the past 100 years, our kingdom has been isolating itself from the rest of other kingdoms. Our kingdom uses magic that is totally different from the rest of others. Our magic is much more powerful but it drains a lot of mana." He replied "Our kingdom is constantly under surveillance by the nearby kingdom named Drakoria. They usually sent wyverns or dragons here. They do it today."
"Today? Shit, The carrier is only 30 nautical miles off the coast of this city. I need to alert the Admiral." Lt. Harries asked again, "Alright, tell me more, kid."
"This kingdom is currently being ruled by an elven name Valorin. She is the most powerful mage in the kingdom. She also created the most magic form in this kingdom. She has been ruling this kingdom, I think, for around 35 years now." He replied
"Hmm, done. Thanks for the information. We appreciate it." Lt. Harries thanked Finn for his cooperation.
He later sent the file that he had written down to Admiral McClusky back on the carrier.
UEN Vanguard (CVN-102)
30 Nautical Miles off the coast of Eldoria's capital, Luminaris City

Back to the super carrier strike group 2nd division, Admiral McClusky, the person behind the operation, opened the file that had been sent by Lieutenant Harries. He opened the file and was surprised to find a paragraph containing information about the kingdom and its name, Eldoria. After reading it, he asked his subordinate to send it to the Pentagon immediately. He suddenly received an urgent request from Rear Admiral William Grant, asking him if he could come to the Combat Information Centre. He left the commander bridge and walked to the CIC immediately. After five minutes of walking, he reached the CIC and entered the room. He met Rear Admiral Grant and asked him why he wanted him to come here. Rear Admiral excused and pointed at the screen. Admiral McClusky's eyes were wide open because the SR-72D Dartstar which he had ordered to be launched earlier had captured pictures of dragons and some dragons had only 2 legs.
"Some of these aren't dragons. I am very good at European History and there is a type of dragon in mediaeval mythology called wyvern which has two legs. These must be wyverns." Admiral McClusky said this to Rear Admiral Grant. "And, I forgot to mention, we must keep our eyes on the radar."
"Why is that, sir?" The Radar operator asked Admiral McClusky.
"Lieutenant Harries reported that a kingdom named Drakoria will send wyverns and dragons here to do surveillance on this kingdom today. I wanted 5 F/A-XX to be launched to protect the carrier. Alert the crews on board UEN Titan Battleship to get ready for this." Admiral McClusky replied while he was looking at the screen which showed the radar scan.
"Yes, Sir. I will do as you said right away." Rear Admiral Grant saluted and exited the CIC. Rear Admiral Grant ran as fast as he could to the commander bridge and told one of the Air operation officers to launch 5 F/A-XX. The Air operation officers complied with the request immediately. The crews on the carrier flight deck started preparing the plane, loading them air to air missiles inside the internal bay and guiding the aircraft to the electromagnetic catapult. One by one, each plane was launched and after a few minutes, all 5 fighter jets were launched successfully off the carrier.
