Assault on CERN.

55 miles south of Baghdad, Iraq.  

The Second Alliance Paladins (the SA unit specializing in the supernatural) gathered behind a boulder.  Capt. Osborn looked through his binoculars, he could see the CERN core, there electrical discharges shooting from within the frame.  The ruins of Babylon were dug up, the tombs of the Babylonian kings ransacked, the Alliance Paladins looked down on the pit that crackled with photon energy.  Cmdr. Burns drew his gun, and marshaled his troops into position, the last few officials left the CERN facilities, just a few night guards and workers.  The new moon rose above the Iraqi landscape, the time was almost right for the assault.

"Now boys," Said Burns, "The Alliance army is creating a diversion in Russia, so we have one shot to take this thing.  Bluewing, go around to the front, Redwing, take out any opposition, Greenwing, take out the communication, and security systems, Gold and Silverwings, go for the lab and CERN.  And, like they say in those old Hollywood movies; the world is at stake here.  Move out!"  The different teams charged down toward the lab area, Osborn led Silverwing to CERN, along with Goldwing.  The Paladins succeeded in shutting down the lab and taking out the guards, but then a border patrol officer saw the Paladins by the CERN core, set of a pulse flare, the alarms went off and every government office knew of the attack.  SWAT and emergency Marines arrived in seconds, fortunately most government forces were in Russia right then.  Osborn and  the rest of Silverwing were sabotaging the core when a group of Marines came at them, Silverwing was gunned down, but a bullet hit some of the CERN matrix's exposed parts.  There was a huge burst of photon energy, a momentary vortex.  For a split second, something flashed in Thomas Osborn's vision, he could not tell what it was.  There was rumble he heard through the gunfire and yells, a deep, unearthly roar, a giant figure burst out of the laboratory, he grabbed two nearby soldiers and ate them.  Thomas was knocked into the stargate pit by a stampede of fleeing army men, he fell through the energy bursts and there was another crack of gunfire, and another, bigger photon bolt.  Just as Osborn was about to hit the ground, he left this dimension entirely.
