War of the Worlds (2026)

The War of the Worlds, more commonly known as the Alien Invasion of 2026, was a planetary invasion of Earth by an unknown race of beings from an unknown planet. The conflict spanned across all continents of Earth, and was the largest and the deadliest conflict that the human race had ever encountered. Despite all the odds that was put against them, in a stunning turn of events, the armies of the nations of Earth managed to successfully fight back against the Alien Invasion, and declared victory despite all the odds.

Beginning
The whole issue regarding the Alien Invasion began five years before in 2021. On July 1st, 2021, an independent space laboratory owned by Space Lab Technologies out of Boulder Colorado was monitoring signals from outer space. At roughly six in the evening, a few students from the University of Utah that were manning the station were monitoring the signals, when one of them caught there eyes. The signal appeared to be coming from the direction of Jupiter, and when trying to triangulate the distance, it was nearly out of range of the Solar System.

The students were completely baffled, and when there instructor arrived, he began to try and translate the mysterious rhythms of the signal. After making a recording of the message, he desperately tried to translate what it was trying to say. Eventually though, NASA was contacted immediately, and so was the United States Government.

Eventually, NASA, SpaceX, Tesla, Space Technologies, and the United States Government began to decipher what the signal was trying to say. It appeared to be translated into somewhat similar to Morse Code. When the message was finally deciphered, it read the following. "'To anybody who is receiving this transmission! This is the planet Mor-Tax! Our Star is dying and we are in need desperate need of refuge! I repeat! Mayday! Mayday!'"When the message was read out, everybody was speechless. It appeared to be a distress call from a dying civilization. NASA immediately forwarded the results to the United States Government. However, despite the supposed positives that were gonna come out of this, the reaction from the United States Government upset NASA. Joe Biden personally ordered the entire issue to be buried, so it would never reach the views of the American Public. Joe Biden shared the news with NATO allies, who then informed the Russian, Chinese, Indian, UAE, Israeli, South Korean, and many other governments. These governments universally agreed to burry the issue.

Over the course of the next five years, the entire issue died down as bigger matters arrived. The United States and the Peoples Republic of China were locked in a Second Space Race after the United States successfully had sent a manned mission to Mars in 2024. The message from a dying alien civilization was buried deep within the files of the United States Government. However, little did anybody on Earth know, this transmission was actually a tracking signal. Earth was now a target.

Somethings Fishy
By August of 2026, Joe Biden had been elected into office for his second term, and the Space Race between the United States and the Peoples Republic of China was full on. The United States had withdrawn all its forces out of Iraq and Syria by this point, and Afghanistan had fallen into a humanitarian crisis. The Islamic Republic of Iran had also finally entered the world stages as a world power, developing its first ever Nuclear Bomb in 2023. At the same time though, the Peoples Republic of China and the Russian Federation's relationship had nearly broken down over certain issues, but they continued to be partners despite the amount of growing tension.

The first known signs of trouble began on August 11th, 2026. A NASA Telescope Orbiting around Jupiter's Moon Titan, suddenly stopped transmitting, and all communication had ceased. Then NASA command looked at the last images the satellites had transmitted, NASA became startled. The Satellite had taken pictures of a large cluster of objects passing by Jupiter at an alarming rate. NASA initially thought that they were meteorites, but when the trajectory was analyzed, it was discovered that these objects were heading strait on a collision course for Earth.

NASA immediately informed the United States Government, who then met in a bit of a panic to discuss the escalating emergency. It was soon figured out that these objects, whatever the were, were moving so fast, that they were due to make impact with Earth within two days at tops. The United States Government then informed there NATO allies, as well as the Russian and Chinese Governments, who all met to discuss the escalating emergency. As they continued to monitor the objects, the Russian Space Administration noticed that there was something strange about the formation of the objects. The name extraterrestrial didn't come around, and wasn't even mentioned. The message that they had received five years earlier hadn't even been considered in the books.

As the situation dragged onward and the objects were moving closer, the Chinese Space Administration made a prediction. The objects, whatever they were, were going to impact the cities of...
 * Los Angeles
 * San Diego
 * New York
 * Boston
 * Miami
 * Lisbon
 * Hamburg
 * Calais
 * Southampton
 * Tokyo
 * Shanghai
 * Hong Kong
 * Rio De Janeiro

Immediately, the United Nations was notified of the escalating emergency. Immediately, a worldwide emergency broadcast was issued about the ensuing crisis. It was initially branded as a meteor shower, and that mass evacuation for these cities was needed in full effect. Within minutes of the broadcast, mass panic began to ensue as the civilian population tried to flee. In the United States, the National Guard in many states was put on full alert to help in evacuation of these cities. Soon, traffic jams miles long were soon becoming all across the Pacific and Atlantic Rims. The US Government was ordered to flea to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, and other world Governments were ordered the flea as well.

At 14:46 PM Pacific Standard time on August 13th, 2026, the objects entered Earths Atmosphere. As predicted, they began falling, but strangely. The meteors instead of hitting land, they began hitting the coastal areas. The mass evacuation of these cities was far from complete at this stage, and there were still hundreds of people trying to flee. As the "Meteors" began hitting the coastline, tsunamis were actually quite minimal. However, before an analysis could be done, and as cameras rolled across the world, it soon became obvious what was happening. This was no meteor shower, this was an invasion.

August 13th (Day One), 2026.
As the objects continued to fall into the ocean, across the world what appeared to be Humanoid creatures began to rise out of the water. Almost immediately, these beings started firing multiple projectiles civilians who were staying behind to watch. Within the first minutes, multiple aircraft began to descend from Earths Atmosphere and started attacking multiple civilian targets using what appeared to be energy weaponry. The National Guard units who were deployed to assist in the evacuation were almost immediately overwhelmed as the attack commenced.

The Aliens
The Aliens themselves, more commonly known as "The Others" (As the Humans called them) had an appearance of humanoid creatures. The Aliens themselves were measured to be seven to eight feet tall in height, and appeared to have bipedal mobility just like humans. However, the difference was is that there skin appeared to be near armor plated, and it was often reported that it took seven to 10 rounds to be able to kill one, even with armor piercing rounds. The ability for humans to kill them varied from weapon to weapon the human armies had in there arsenal. There blood appeared to be green, and was often toxic to humans. As for the alien weaponry, the Others had many upper hands compared to the Human Race. The Alien Weapons themselves appeared to be surgically attached to the aliens, and even worse they appeared to have unlimited ammunition. The ammunition itself even appeared to be very powerful, and appeared to be made of plasma. This plasma weaponry proved highly effective against Human Armor, often burning it out. Another advantage the aliens appeared to have over the Humans was the use of aircraft. These aircraft were called "Drones" by the Humans, mostly due to there lack of physical pilots. On top of that, the alien drones and all other vehicles they needed appeared to not need any sort of fuel, compared to the Human Aircraft. In addition, these drones could form into larger ships, called "Wedge Ship" by the Humans, which could hold up to five or six of the drones at one time. This allowed for detachment when engaging in combat with the Human fighter jets used in combat. In addition to the new wedge ships, the Aliens appeared to have other advantages. These advantages included what appeared to be hovering transport platforms armed with an assortment of weaponry. These hovering machines were able to do speeds of 100 to 200 MPH, faster than anything the Humans had. In addition to these, the Aliens appeared to have bipedal vehicles, that were armed with an assortment of weaponry. Although these bipedal vehicles, called "Walking Tanks" by the Humans were able to be taken out, there armor and unlimited ammo gave the Humans a Challenge when trying to combat them.

North American Theatre
The opening attack of the Others began on multiple continents all at once. In the North American Theatre, the Aliens began by attacking a host of military and civilian targets across. The others aircraft were completely invisible to radar, causing multiple errors with human targeting systems. Additionally, the Aliens began deploying multiple "Command Ships". Six to eight, 10, sometimes even 20 stories tall structures armed with multiple pieces of weaponry and defenses. These command ships contained hundreds of soldiers and everything needed for an offensive. During the initial stages of the attack, the Aliens (Unknowingly) attacked multiple cities across the United States Eastern and Western Seaboards. Many of the U.S. military, including the U.S. Army Rangers and the U.S. Marine Corps were scattered across the battlefronts. This disorganization lead to the aliens gaining significant advantages. As the alien aircraft managed to occupy the sky, the alien ground forces reeked havoc across the battlefield alone, killing almost anything and everything that stood in there path.

The cities that came under attack in the United States and Canada included...


 * Washington D.C
 * Boston
 * New York City
 * Richmond
 * Boston
 * Norfolk
 * Raleigh
 * Myrtle Beach
 * Charleston
 * Atlanta
 * Jacksonville
 * Miami
 * Tampa
 * Orlando
 * New Orleans
 * Corpus Christi
 * Los Angeles
 * San Diego
 * San Francisco
 * Oakland

Consequently, the fighting in the United States moved up into Eastern Canada, with cities such as Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, and Quebec City coming under attack. The others attacked or destroyed multiple targets of importance across the East Coast, including the CIA Headquarters in Langley, Camp David, and the Pentagon. Despite these efforts, the United States militaries priority was Washington D.C/

European Theatre
The European Theatre began along the Bristol Channel where a significant number of the Aliens transports landed. The Others stormed the beaches of Northern France, and across Spain and Portugal. Pushing into Western Europe and the Iberian Peninsula. In this theatre, the aliens had brought in significant numbers to the fight, alongside equipment of what could only be described as a "Walking tank" or "Walking Canon". These walking vehicles despite there slow speed had immense weaponry, compacted into them, and were heavily armored with energy weaponry. These energy projectiles were powerful enough to completely obliterated the Challenger II, Leopard II, and Leopard 3 Tanks that the Humans were using to defends.

The Others advanced technology overwhelmed the European forces, and combined that they were fighting on two fronts, the Aliens began to push inland at an alarming rate. Even the prospect of American forces and the unified command structure of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization were not enough to hold back the attack. Despite this, NATO tried desperately in the defense of the European continent, allocating entire field armies to the fight. However, the technological advancements were simply to overwhelming. The UK being an collection of Islands and separated from the mainland continent felt the bulk of the aliens, as the country was glassed of the face of the earth. Notable areas such as the Parliament building, Big Bentley, the Tower of London were all destroyed in the fighting. The UK was the first country to totally fall to the Others.

After the UK fell, NATO concentrated the bulk of there troops in France, Spain, and Portugal. The bulk of the Alien invaders landed in Calais, and had moved south towards the city of Amiens. From there, the Aliens simply moved out in all directions, towards the city of Cean, down South Towards Paris, and to the East towards Belgium and the Netherlands. The combined naval arms of the European powers tried to exit the Mediterranean Sea, however the aliens used there command ships to blockade, trap, and destroy the European Naval forces, obliterating most of them in the process.

36 hours after the Alien Invasion began, Spain, Portugal, Andorra, France, and Belgium had fallen to the Alien Invaders, and NATO command structure ordered a desperate retreat to the East into Germany and Switzerland. As the Aliens secured coastal outposts, they launched a series of air raids across many cities across the continent, including Geneva came under attack. These raids caused major infrastructural damages and numerous power outages. With the infrastructure lines completely collapsing, NATO retreated to the East and into Germany, continuing to fight the Aliens all the way. Luckily though, the Europeans got some help from a very unlikely country, the Russian Federation.

Realizing the threat undertaken, and having been under attack in Vladivostok, the Russians, the Europeans, and the American Military Command structure "united" there command structure to set up a defense of Europe. This lead to Americans, Europeans, and Russians fighting side by side for the first time since the Second World War. By the end of the first couple days, the NATO and Russian Military command structure had managed to set up a defensive lines in Eastern Germany (Berlin), Poland, The Balkans, Turkey, Finland, and Sweden. However, the Aliens were not going to let them off that easily, as the Aliens conquered both Denmark, Southern Norway, and Sweden.

Unknowingly, the Aliens turned the city of Paris into there staging ground for operations on Earth. This created a huge dilemma for the Humans as the others appeared to have one centralized command structure, while thanks to the political squabbles on Earth, the command structure was largely disunified. However thanks to careful planning, the Humans were able to set up a defensive structure and soon were able to consolidate there forces for a desperate defense.

Invasion of Asia
The Alien invasion of Asia was the most brutal front out of the War of the Worlds. The Aliens attacked major cities along the entire Southeast Asian Coastline. Cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Vladivostok, Hong Kong, and all the way down to Ho Chi Minh City all came under attack. Initially, nations such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India were able to establish some sense of a defense thanks to there Modern Day equipment, but other nations such as North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Burma were unable to defend against the Aliens for very long, and were overrun within a matter of hours. Thanks to the crowdedness of Southeast Asia, this was the greatest loss of life for the Human Race during the entire ordeal.

Invasion of Japan and Korea
The surprise Alien invasion caught the Japanese Military off guard by a longshot. Despite Quick Mobilization, the Aliens had managed to effectively take control of the Japanese Coastal cities, such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Sapporo were overrun in a matter of hours. However, the Japanese Military had a backup plan for such a foreign invasion (From other Humans). The Japanese Military, as well as the Civilian Population moved into moved into the mountains, while the Japanese Navy continued to sail on high seas. The Japanese picked when and where to fight, and in some cases, the Japanese managed to do some damage to the Alien Forces.

As the Invasion of Japan continued, the Aliens landing near the city of Pusan, Gangneung, Pohang, and Ulsan, in South Korea, as well as the cities of Wonsan, Sinpo, and Kimchaek in North Korea. The South Korean and North Korean Militaries for the first time in history were forced to unite against the enemy, but even then it wasn't enough as the others pushed into the Korean Peninsula. By the end of the first day, the Aliens had the entirety of the Korean East Coastline. The United Nations Forces Stationed there in Korea tried to get aid from the other nations, who promptly complied, however due to the vast scale of the invasion, this was limited, so the UN Forces set up a little trap. The UN forces set off the minefield all along the DMZ, killing a large amount of the others in the process. However it wasn't enough, and soon the others pushed into Korea. Seoul fell first, followed by the entirety of North Korea.

With the Korean Peninsula Captured, the Aliens pushed out of Korea, and into Manchuria. After successfully capturing Vladivostok, the Aliens managed to link up with there forces inside mainland China, and began a new offensive for there conquest of Earth.

Invasion of China
The invasion of China began when the Alien Transports landed in the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea. In addition to the Aliens taking the Island of Japan and the Korean Peninsula, and thanks to poor planning, most of the Chinese fleet was stationed in the East China sea due to rising tensions between Japan and China. Most of the Chinese naval fleet was destroyed due to the Others transports landing in the East China Sea, including China's only aircraft carrier.

After the accidental destruction of the Chinese Navy, the Others began a swift invasion of the Chinese Mainland along the coastline. They swept through Manchuria, they pushed Inland into Beijing, then across into Shanghai, down across to Guangzhou, and into Hong Kong. Thanks to the clustered population of the east, the Aliens killed a good portion of Civilians and in the process. The aliens then continued there campaign by advancing into Nanking. The Chinese, being the the Authoritarian Government they were, were desperate to hold off the Aliens advance. The Chinese Peoples Liberation Army were given explicit orders, to defend every inch of ground, or die trying. Using whatever resources they could muster, the Peoples Liberation Army, and the members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, began mass firebombing campaigns across most of the city and sent division after division basically to there deaths.

Collecting resources/defense of the coastline
Within the first few hours of the invasion, strange instances began to occur. The Aliens began using their inventions and technology to harvest the resources of Earth. Most importantly, they began to collect samples of things that contained protein. To achieve this, the Aliens had hundreds of large ships that were set up across the conquered territories. These massive AA turrets appeared to all be connected via a central hub, and were able to do significant destruction to not only the inland forces, but also the Naval Forces trying to defend the region as well.

The Humans began to realize that the Others were starting to terraforming the Earth, and it was becoming clearer by the hour that this was a colonization. Despite what the Humans could muster up, it appeared that there wasn't much the Humans could do other than engage the enemy accordingly.

Invasion of Latin America
The others landed across the northern half of South America. The countries of Brazil, Venezuela, Columbia, French Guinan, Suriname, and Guyana experienced fierce combat with the others. In particular, the cities Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and Caracas, Venezuela. experienced its first combat from a foreign nation since World War I. The Latin American Union for the first time in it's history united its command structure to set up a defense force in the mountains that surrounded Northern Brazil, Venezuela, Columbia, and even setting up a defense force at the Panama Canal. This tactic proved very successful, and with the help of US Forces stationed there, an effective defensive war was able to take place.

Later on, after the Alien invasion of Texas, USA, the Aliens attempted to make advancements across the US-Mexico border, and began attacking South. The Mexican, US, and Latin-American Militaries tried desperately to hold off the Alien Invaders in a long and brutal desert warfare campaign. This initial success worked, and sooner or later the Humans had managed to halt the alien advance just to the west of Mexico City. During this attempt, a weakness appeared to be exploited. The Aliens biggest weakness seemed to be heat. The hotter the environment, the weaker the Aliens had become.

August 13th (Day 2), 2026
By the second day of the Alien Invasion, the United Nations Security Council had set up a coordinated defense force which included almost every nation on Earth. Through a joint effort in sharing resources, the Human Militaries attempted to continue to set up a desperate defense. The Human Military forces had managed to set up defensive lines in all regions that had not been invaded by the Aliens, and thanks to declassified intelligence, the UN used Africa and Latin America as a sight to continue to produce weapons and establish supply lines. By this point, almost 20 countries were now under full attack. Other places that were attacked included...


 * Vancouver, British Columbia
 * Seattle, Washington
 * Portland, Oregon
 * Amman, Jordan
 * Alwar, Yemen
 * Manila, Philippines
 * Jakarta, Indonesia
 * Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
 * Singapore

Most of these countries were unable to set up a defense against the against the Aliens. However, aided by the United Nations, international travel to cross borders into other countries was voided as refugees fled, desperately trying to escape the wrath of the aliens. However, as the battle raged on, UN officials and scientists around the world estimated that in only six days tops, the Aliens could completely overrun the Human Forces. The future for the Human Race was looking bleak, but then it happened, a turning point.

Battle of Washington D.C
The massive Alien force managed to take control of much of the Eastern Seaboard United States, except Washington D.C. The main priority of the U.S. forces in the capital was to evacuate as many civilians and wounded soldiers as possible, then regroup to defend the city for however long they could. The Aliens Walking Canons, hovering gunships, drones, and energy weaponry delayed the evacuation and eliminating those threats proved to be crucial to ensuring evacuation.

US Navy Seals set up a weapons cash at the Department of Commerce, overlooking the Potomac River. Using a Barrett .50cal sniper rifle equipped with a Thermal Scope and explosive rounds, the US Navy Seals assisted in the defense by taking out a significant amount of the Aliens Transports. Later, the Seal team used Javelins to destroy any incoming enemy drones and walking canons into the facility.

With the help of the US Navy Seals, the Washington Monument Evac Sight become secure, and now that the civilians and the wounded soldiers could be safely evacuated, the US air force went on the offensive. The US Air Force provided cover as US Military Units used Black Hawk helicopters and began deployment to several areas across the city. One squadron was sent to the World War II Memorial, which was being used by the Aliens as a weapons cash, and began to tear it to smithereens. However in the process, the Others drones managed to do significant damage to the US air force. The situation in Washington D.C looked hopeless.

Battle of Los Angeles
Initially, the Aliens landed off the coast of the Santa Monica, and began to push inland into the city of Los Angeles. United States Military units had been sent into the city from the many bases that had been set up. However by the time a significant military units had been deployed to the region, most of the city had fallen. Rather than letting the Aliens continue there advance inland, the US Military set up a defensive line at the San Gabriel mountains and the Cajon Pass. By the second day, the Aliens had started to strike the mountainous terrain, but it became clear that the high ground advantage would work for the Humans.

Despite the 12 hour long battle for LA, some US forces were still stuck inside the city. As the situation for the Humans looked hopeless, a bright view of hope had came from the radio. A radio transmission came in saying that a stranded company of US Marines stranded inside of LA had had scouted out what appeared to be an enemy Command and Control Point, or CP. The CP appeared to be heavily guarded, and it was decided to strike. The US Air Force using its Apache Gunships flew into the city, and using the stranded marines distress beacon, the Air Force fired off several AIM-9 Sidewinder Missiles at the target. The target initially was destroyed, but soon it became obvious it was attacked to a much larger structure, as a massive ship the size of several football fields, rose out of the ground and began to move inland. Rather than letting this massive turret system move inland and wipe out the ground forces, the Apaches were ordered to attack. However, the so called "Suicide Drones" that were protecting it managed to take out not only the rounds the Apaches Fired on it, but all four gunships there threw at it. Realizing the ramifications of what could possibly happen, the US Air Force launched a full-scale air assault against the Alien Ship. In the largest air battle in the history of mankind, the US used engaged the ship and all the drones that the Aliens could throw at them, leading to a catastrophic loss of life for the Humans.

Just as the situation looked entirely hopeless, one pilot managed to fire a rouge Exoset Missile, hitting the enemy ship with a direct hit. The Alien ship appeared to have gotten hit in a major area, as within one hit, the ship was blown completely out of the sky, and soon collapsed to the ground. In the immediate aftermath of the ship collapsing to the ground, in that moment the drones started to fall all across the North American Continent. With the brief amount of air superiority, the humans made the decision to go on the offensive.

Back in Washington
Back in Washington D.C on the ground, the situation for the American forces looked hopeless. However, after the Battle of Los Angeles disabled most of the Others' air capabilities. With there air advantage removed, the scattered US Forces in the ensuing chaos went on the offensive, and went after the aliens. However, as the drones fell from the sky, US troops were directly in the line of the falling vehicles, leading to a loss of life. Soon, Washington D.C and the entire US Eastern Seaboard and anywhere in the Others territory in the United States soon went dark, the US forces in this territory were now in the dark. In Washington, the US forces in D.C with air superiority achieved decided that they were going to try and retake the city and establish a link with Central command. In order to establish a link with Central Command, it required to retake the White House. US Forces stormed the White House, which took a huge amount of significant damage. Upon US forces entering the White House, the radio communications stated that the US Air Force was planning to carpet bomb the Capital (And presumably the entire Eastern Seaboard). US forces using something similar to that of a blitzkrieg stormed White House and managed to deploy Green Flares on the roof of the White House, which aborted the Mission to carpet bomb the Capital, however other areas were not so lucky. Despite some areas that were managed to be saved, the US air force sadly was forced to carpet bomb many areas during the invasion. In the most famous instance, US B52 Bombers carpet-bombed the coastal areas around Miami Florida and Myrtle Beach, creating a serial sight. Despite the ramifications of this carpet bombing, this gave the Humans valuable time.

World Wide
It turned out that the actions in Los Angeles had drastic consequences across almost all the Battlefields. Across Latin-America, Europe, and Asia, some of the alien aircraft began falling from the sky. Almost immediately, NORAD Alerted its allies and adversaries commands on how exactly destroy the Alien CP's that occupied there coastline. With this new information available, the air forces of most of the world were forced to unite, and take on the Aliens directly.

Despite the ability to knock the drones out of the sky, the Walking Canons and Hovercrafts of the Aliens still made it very difficult for then Humans. Although Air superiority had been achieved, the Aliens still had the ability to reek havoc and cause problems with the UN efforts to defend the Earth.

August 15th (Day 3), 2026.
After the events of Washington D.C. The Aliens had finally managed to cross into North Africa, where the United Nations was using it as a staging ground for the defense of Earth. Despite the Aliens not having air support, their ground force was overwhelmingly superior to the Human Military. However, as the invasion into North Africa commenced, it became overwhelmingly clear that the Aliens had a weakness. The overwhelming heat of the Sahara Desert made the Aliens weaker, and thus it allowed the Human Forces to be able to set up significant defense. With this weakness exploited, the allied forces of the United Nations managed to significantly stop the Alien Advance into North Africa. By the end of the day, most of the North African had fallen to the Others, however, thanks to the new weakness, the Alien invasion into North Africa became a humiliating struggle. The UN forces by this point had seemed to come up with a solution to combat the Others walking tanks. The M808B "Scorpion" tank. The Scorpion tank was a concept design that was being developed by the European Unions Armed Forces, however its development was slow. However, by the time the invasion began, the tank had been completed. Now, it was put into full production across many of the areas that were unscathed.

By this point in the Alien Invasion, the situation for the Humans was getting better, however there was some sense of unity through the United Nations. But ethnic tension remained very high, particularly between the Russians and the Americans. It was getting so bad that sometimes the Russians and the Americans were so close to firing on each other. Most of the nations that had came under attack, Particularly in Oceania, were now fully controlled by the Alien Forces. However, by this day, it became evident that the Humans were running out of supplies, but luckily, hope seemed to be coming.

Battle of Nevada
After the Battle of Los Angeles, the Aliens moved deep inside U.S. territory. Unknown if the Others had done any research or not, but word came down that the others had started moving in towards the Hoover Dam, a vital power supply for the Humans. The first part of the battle took place in a Las Vegas, Nevada, which by now had been under full attack. The US Forces in charge of defending the city took numerous losses during the attack, however the Humans were pushed back to a choke-point in a Boulder City, Nevada. From this point, the Aliens made a dash for the Hoover Dam to put heavy guns for the fight, but the US National Guard despite all odds was able to hold off of the advance for a pretty good while, until there tank support was gone and they ran out of supplies.

Finally though, the Aliens did however reach the Hoover Dam, and it appeared that they intended to destroy it outright. If this was allowed, over 50,000 American Casualties could be added to the list of deaths, and the Humans would lose all power in this region, effectively rendering them defenseless. Although the initial approach by the US lead UN forces was hampered by heavy defenses, they managed to clear the outer defenses and move in. After clearing the interior of the dam out, the US forces managed to secure part of the dam. Sadly though, the others had managed to destroy part of the power generators, knocking out power to Arizona.

Despite this setback, the US forces held their ground and thanks to the allied counterattacks against Alien CP's, and the extreme heat of the Nevada Desert, the Others were pushed out of Nevada, making the battle of Nevada a victory for the Humans. Las Vegas was almost destroyed during the Battle of Nevada, however, this victory would greatly influence the rest of the war on North America.

Battle the Sanora
After Arizona lost power, the US military used this to there advantage to try and outsmart the Alien invaders. US forces made an amphibious landing in the Mexican State of Sanora and began pushing inland into the state of Arizona. After US forces made the Amphibious landing, the USS Iowa and New Jersey began a full scale "shelling" of the cities of Tucson and Phoenix. This shelling pretty much destroyed the city and unintentionally destroyed the Aliens attempt to destroy a line of Communications to call for reinforcements. US forces using tanks and other infantry began to roll across the deserts of Arizona. The weakness of the heat in Arizona lead to the Alien defense of the region completely useless. With minimal casualties on the military side, the US managed to take back Arizona, leading to a split inside the Alien Forces. Phoenix and Tucson were basically glassed, but at least they were captured and liberated.

After this initial success, US forces in coordination with the Organization of American States Militaries, including Cuba's efforts, managed to push inland into Central Mexico. The unified Latin-American Command structure, and provided by American and Russian Air Support, lead to the Humans making stunning victory after stunning victory. Once again, the heat of the desert was a huge factor in the victory for the Humans. Slowly, the humans continued to move into Mexico, and by the end of the seventh day, the country was liberated.

In addition to these events, the United States Navy using intelligence from the Battle of Los Angeles, aided the by the Organization of American States, started shelling the Alien Weapons Cash sights along the coastlines of Brazil, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. In addition to these, the US Navy destroyed the numerous Alien Command and Control points across the Northern South American Coastline. With the drones falling, and more American reinforcements, the Western Hemisphere was finally recaptured by the eighth day.

Second Battle of Shanghai
With the Alien Advancements around the world coming to a halt and the drones out of commission, the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army went on the offensive. Shanghai, having been under siege for several days, was China’s main objective for its offensive. The People's Liberation Army using its air superiority and overwhelming strength, charged into Shanghai to retake the city. The Aliens had mounted significant defense for the city, and had hundreds of walking canons, and the hover gunships available. However, instead of doing a frontal assault on the city, the Chinese decided to go from the Seas.

The Chinese landed on two points in the North and South of the city of Shanghai, surprisingly, the Aliens hadn't fortified these sections. With reinforcements coming in from the Russian and Chinese Pacific Fleet, the Chinese practically bombed the city to oblivion, to rood out the Alien Defenses. With these Blitzkrieg tactics, the Chinese Air Force and Mechanized Units then took the opportunity to move into the city, and flush out the remaining Alien defenses. Finally then the infantry arrived. The Chinese Infantry surged ahead, advancing from three directions. Eventually though, the Chinese reached the downtown of Shanghai. Upon reaching downtown they discovered that the Aliens had some form of weapon in store. Unknown to to the Humans, it was an EMP weapon. The EMP weapon detonated and all across the far East Regions of Asia lost power. The Chinese and the Aliens fought to the bitter end as Chinese Factories and other factories around the world worked around the clock to keep producing weapons for the war effort against the Alien Invaders. The Chinese continued to push inland into occupied territories, eventually coming to the city of Guangzhou, China.

Battle for Guangzhou, China
The Chinese made an amphibious landing in the city of Guangzhou, a major front for the Peoples Republic of China. The Despite all the odds, a battalion of PLA Soldiers had managed to hold out inside the city since the invasion began. With reinforcements coming in from the United States, Russian Federation, India, etc. the initial battle was a success. However, the Battle of Guangzhou didn't last very long. The Aliens unknowingly managed to bomb a Chinese Chemical Weapons Factory that was masquerading as a Fertilizer Plant. Upon bombing the plant, thousands of pounds of Poison Gas and Chemical Fire ignited. The gas spread up and down the Chinese Coastline and across Far East Asia, killing millions of people across Southeast Asia.

After Shanghai and Guangzhou, the Chinese Military, aided by reinforcements from the USS Nimitz Aircraft Carrier and US Air Force and other allied forces pushed inland. The Humans in a reverse Alien Invasion swept through into Beijing, then through to Nanking. After the successes here, the Allied forces soon moved towards the Chinese City of Fuzhou. The Aliens put up a good fighting, but with there drones out of commission, and the Air Superiority of the Humans, the Battle of Fuzhou ended in a victory for Humanity.

Battle of New York
As the Aliens continued to lose territory on the US mainland, the others turned New York City into a Hermit Kingdom Stronghold. The city was but a shell of its former self, and it looked like nothing of what it was a few days earlier. Despite every US attempt to take the city from the West, the others managed to repel it. However, the US Military came up with a different plan and decided to take New York via the water.

The US-led Combined UN forces ran an amphibious landing at Manhattan Beach early in the morning using the US third and sixth fleets. The UN forces in an act of bravery never before seen since World War II charged the city using infantry, tanks, APC’s, sacrificing 500,000 lives out of almost one million. During there invasion, it was discovered the Aliens had some kind of device on top of the Empire State building that was creating an effect of an EMP. The US military had no choice, making there best guess the USS Missouri was forced to fire on the Empire State Building, knocking it down.

After knocking down the Empire State building, the US guidance systems came back online. The US Military knowing that the Aliens were lacking there air superiority destroyed target after target in New York City. At the same time, a predominantly Russian Special Forces unit and Russian Airborne Units were dropped inland to sabotage the Alien Defenses. This in turn lead for the Human Forces to advance into the city from both sides, leading to an encircling movement and the securing of New York City.

Battle of Vancouver and Seattle
By this point, the United Armies of the Organization of American States and NATO were gathering outside the cities of Vancouver, Seattle, and Tacoma. Despite the Chinese despite being enemies with the United States, the Chinese Military Command decided to help the Americans in there efforts. Using the remainder of the Chinese Navy, the Chinese would send an invasion fleet into Puget Sound, make an amphibious landing in Seattle and then both sides would push up and retake Vancouver.

The Chinese began there landings at 8:46 Pacific Standard Time while the Americans, Canadians, and other allied militaries pushed in from the East. The others were heavily entrenched around Seattle, in order to try and make a second attempt to call for help from somewhere in the Galaxy. However, the US and Chinese forces were able to catch them off-balance. Upon entering the city, the allied Human Forces discovered that the Aliens were attempting another line of Communication up into space to what appeared to be a call of reinforcements.

In order to hold off the upcoming Human counterattack towards Seattle, the Aliens launched a large armored counter-attack, using there walking tanks, suicide drones, and everything they could throw at them. However, this opened up a gap in the lines of the Aliens. The Human forces, taking advantage of this defensive gap, launched a successful raid into the city. However, the Humans were forced to knock down the Space Needle in order to prevent the others from getting there call to reinforcements. Despite the severe losses, the U.S, Chinese, and Canadian Militaries met in Seattle and began to push Northward up into Vancouver. During the Battle, one observer said that the Chinese were some of the bravest people they have ever seen, even going so far as engaging in hand to hand combat with the Aliens themselves.

Eventually, the Others were pushed back to a point near the Vancouver Harbor. Upon entering the city, another one of the Others Command Ships was noticed flying above the harbor, and the drones were starting to go back online. The Allied forces hit it with everything they had in there arsenal, and by the time Tanks, Jets, and Missiles had managed to take it down, hundreds of people were dead.

After driving the Others off of mainland Mainland North America, the US and Chinese Military sent their forces to Russia in an attempt to assist the Russians in their assault on Europe. While preparing for transit, the US Military learned that the Russians and the Europeans had managed to break through the Front Lines against the Others outside of Warsaw, and the United State Military decided to launch a massive attack against Europe to finally bring down the Others once and for all.

Battle of Berlin
With the North American and Asian Fronts calming down, the European Theatre ultimately came the focus for the combined arms of the United Nations. By day six, most of the European continent had fallen to the Alien Forces. By the sixth day, Alien Forces were marching into Poland. If the European Continent were to fall, ultimately the war would be lost for the Humans.

By the time of the sixth day, the Russian Military with the new assistance of the Americans and Chinese managed to break through the Aliens Defensive lines outside of the Polish City of Poznan. With this initial victory, the Russians made a bee line for Berlin. With American and Chinese forces arriving in droves, the Russians charged into the city, using an army the likes the world had ever seen. With the assistance of the remainder of NATO forces, the Russians managed to enter the city.

The Russians, and NATO command decided to do one of the oldest tricks in the book. An Army from the North, and an Army from the South, would encircle the city of Berlin. The Russians and NATO forces moved across the North and South, before they met at the city of Falkensee and Potsdam. With this encirclement, the Human Forces then entered the city of Berlin from two directions. However, in the Chaotic fighting the ensued in Berlin, the Aliens had rigged most of the buildings to detonate when the Humans Got close. Despite this setback, the battle raged on. During the ensuing battle, the Russians managed to capture what appeared to be a leader that was commanding the officer of the Aliens. This commander, however, was stronger than any Human and he managed to escape the captors. The Russians were proud of their achievement, and it seemed to boost morale for the Allies, and it, in short, appeared to bring a "closer" relationship between the United States and the Russians.

Battle of Hamburg
In the midst of breaking through the Frontlines in Europe, it was discovered that the Others were getting another Command & Control Center up and operational in Hamburg, Germany. BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization troops joined NATO Forces and other UN allied efforts in a full-scale assault on the city. Joining US Marine Corps Troops and UN Troops stationed in Finland, the combined efforts made landfall on the city. After battling through tons of city streets, the Human forces finally reached the Command & Control Center or so thought, it turned out it was a decoy. Allied forces moved deeper inside the city and discovered the real Command and Control Center. Using rigged explosives the UN allied forces managed to breach the Command & Control point and managed to destroy it, allowing them to take control of the city.

However, just as things seemed to be going well, it was discovered the real command and control center was actually in Paris. The United Nations knew that if the others could get there forces back online, it would be the final blow and the United Nations would be overrun in a matter of days.

August 19th (Day 7), 2026
On August 19th, 2026, the United States Military ran an amphibious assault on Lisbon, Sagres, and Vianan Go Castelo Portugal. The Aliens seemed to be ready for such an attack, and were heavily entrenched and in battle formation. The US forces however with new supplies coming in from Africa for the first time outgunned the Alien Invaders.

The initial invasion went well for the Americans, however, most of there air support were shot down before making landfall. Once making landfall, US forces using over four armored brigades charged at the Aliens. As the US military continued their advance, it was discovered that the Aliens were secretly building another EMP device in the city as well as a brand new Command and Control point. If the Aliens were to get their Drones back online, it would be a losing fight. Realizing that time was running out, B52 Bombers as well as using the USS Wisconsin glassed the city off the face of the Earth. The city of Lisbon practically did not exist as 90% of the city was now destroyed. However, in the Chaotic fighting that ensued, the Command & Control point was destroyed.

However, as the Command & Control point in Lisbon was destroyed, the Aliens Command & Control point inside Paris was finally operational and soon they had air superiority over France. This was terribly news for the allies, as now with the drones back online, it only meant that it would get bloodier. The United Nations realized now that if they didn't take Paris now, everything that they had worked hard for would be lost.

August 20th (Day 8), 2026
On August 20th, 2026. United Nations, a combination of European, American, Russian, Chinese, African, and Latin American Commands decided to hit Paris from both sides in an attack that resembled that of the invasion of Germany during the Second World War. Paris was the final city that was still in control of the Aliens, and it was the most heavily fortified.

Over 15 Million soldiers from around the world charged into France from both sides, once again taking thousands of casualties. As the Human forces began to sweep through the country, they tore up supply routes, they sabotaged defenses, and slowly made there way into the Capital City. As they entered, it was discovered that the Aliens were trying to amplify the Eiffel Towers radio signal. The United Nations Assumed, correctly at least, that the Aliens were going to use it to send a signal to request for reinforcements. Much too much dismay of the French, the allied forces had no choice but to bomb the Eiffel Tower. Human Allied forces darted through the country in a Modern Day version of Blitzkrieg Warfare, and through bloodshed they slowly made there way into Paris in one Central Assault.

As the United Nations continued to make slow progress, the UN's high command made the decision that if they didn't make it to Paris by the end of the daym, they would have no choice by ton launch a tactical Nuclear Strike against the French Capital. However, luckily there was no need for this to occur as the allied forces eventually reached the city streets outside of Paris, taking hundreds of casualties in the process. While fighting through the streets, the Humans managed to capture a severely injured Alien, the Humans decided to take it for study and keep it alive. Using AC-130's and choppers for cover, a US Special Forces team managed to secure the Alien and successfully escort it out of the city. Eventually, the Humans managed to rally at the Eiffel Tower. The Aliens defended it fiercely, sometimes even getting behind the lines of the Humans, however despite everything they attempted, the Human forces managed to knock down the Eiffel Tower, preventing the transmission from sending into Space. At 2:30 AM Hours on August 21st,2026, the Humans raised the United Nations Flag above an embassy in Paris, signifying that Europe was now secure. However, the war wasn't quite over as the next stop was North Africa to finally win the war against the Others, however, as surveillance came in from North Africa, they noticed something strange coming from the area.

As the UN forces moved into North Africa and the Middle East they found it to be filled with the dead bodies of the Aliens. Thanks to the heat of the desert, it turned out that the Aliens had died due to heatstroke's. It appeared that the Aliens had no taken into account the different climates of Earth. The Humans managed to take North Africa and the Middle East with little to no fighting.

Death of the Others
By Day Nine, the United Nations had nearly beaten the Aliens back at there own game. Most of the invaded areas had been recaptured and liberated, and slowly all clears were being lifted across the world. However, that war was not over yet. Across Southeast Asia, the Others had dug themselves in and the UN offensives into the region were all but stopped dead in there tracks. However, as the humans continued there efforts to take back Oceania, something came to the attention of the Humans, and it completely changed the outcome.

On this day, a US Air Force AC-130 was doing a reconnaissance flights over Singapore, Manila, and Jakarta it has become evident the Aliens were once attempting to send a distress signal to call for reinforcements. It had become apparent that the Aliens Numbers were too great for a airborne invasion, and there wouldn't be time on station to break through. With time running out, the United Nations gave permission for a drastic decision. A decision that would be the first of its kind since World War II. With permission from the United Nations. The Peoples Republic of China, being the closest to the High Valued Targets, fired three Nuclear Missiles at Singapore, Jakarta, and Manilla. The Nuclear Weapons were the most powerful of there kind ever used in warfare, and it was the first time since the United Nations had ever authorized the use of this kind of weapon since World War II. The Nuclear Weapons carried by Chinese hypersonic missiles hit there intended targets, completely obliterating all three.

August 22nd (Day 10), 2026
On August 22nd, 2026, the day after the Nuclear Attack. United Nations forces (Comprising of soldiers from all over the world) entered into the destroyed cities. Despite the Nuclear Blasts, some of the Aliens still managed to survive, and limited fighting broke out. However, the Humans had managed to prevent the Others from sending out there distress call. With the mission complete, the United Nations issued an all clear. The War of the Worlds was officially over.

Casualties
By the time the War of the Worlds had finally ended, the destruction it had left behind was clearly evident. Later estimates of the death toll for the Human Race was roughly 850 Million Humans compared to the unknown amount to the Aliens that were attacking them in the first place. Most of the world's infrastructure from across five continents were destroyed and many landmarks from around the world were destroyed. At the end of the Alien Invasion, Humanity thought they could unite for a single goal to explore the Solar System and begin planetary colonization. Instead, old political rivalries managed to stay, despite them being less extreme than it was before the war.

As one man once quoted after the war..."'The Others had not taken into account the fighting spirit and climate of the Humans and our Earth, once they had made landfall, the fighting spirit in every Human prevailed and they were doomed. After Man had used everything in their power, the Others were destroyed and Humanity was saved, by the spirit of a Human, in which god in his wisdom had put in all of us.' - Unknown"
