War of the Three Powers

"Who knows what nightmares we have created?"
 * Dr. Gregor Zelinsky after the Empire started to attack the Union and the Allies

Recent intel reports suggest that, in the year 1985, the recent time travel experiments conducted by the USSR has resulted in another change in history. The Soviet Union, after their defeat in Great World War III and in order to prevent its fall, decided to use their own prototype time machine as their last resort, in order to get rid of the Allies' most important VIP: Albert Einstein. They succeed in doing so, but something goes horribly wrong when the Soviets returned to the present. As a result, the real World War III has begun (the first was disrupted by the Psychic Dominator Disaster). Three superpowers now dominate the world: the Allied Forces, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the Empire of the Rising Sun. What is even worst is Nukes do not exist now that Einstein has been eliminated, taking his atomic studies with him.

Intelligence reports remain sketchy, such as the extent of the changes done to the timeline.

Soviet Campaign
In the Soviet campaign, Cherdenko first sends the newly appointed Soviet commander to deafend Leningrad from the Japanese siege. After that battle Dasha informed General Krukov and the commander that Japanese strike force heading to Moscow and are near Krasna 45 where Krukov suggested that the commander should to use this facility against the Japanese. As the Soviets expelled the Japanese almost completely from USSR the soviets needed their navy in order to win this war so Cherdenko order the commander to recapture Vladivostok from the Japanese despite Krukov objects. As Ackerman was elected to become president of United Sates he decleared that the United States will bring reinforcments and Funds to the Allies Cherdenko orders the commander and General Krukov to invade the Allies command center in Geneva before the American reinforcements arrive. After conquering Europe and capturing Allies research center in Mykanos the only Allies hold in Europe is Iceland. There the commander and Krukov were sent, after declaring that Krukov tried to assassinated him Cherdenko ordered the commander to take care of him. Then the commander was promoted and was order to invade Japan and killing Emperor Yoshiro in order to put an end to the Empire of the Rising Sun but before the commander go to the mission he received transmision from Zelinnsky that he tell the commander the truth about the time travel and that Cherdenko wasn't supposed to be the premier. Cherdenko order the commander to sign peace treaty with the Allies as cover in to assassinate their supreme general Bingham, after taking care for the Allies Cherdenko tell the commander that the commander is no longer useful to him and he said the commander become a threat for him and so he tries and fails to kill the commander after this the commander destroys his volcano-fortress presuming that he killed him. After dealing with Cherdenko, the commander follows with an attack on New York in order to force the Allies to surrender by destroying their symbol the Statue of Liberty. The war ends with the commander becoming the next Premier of the Soviet Union.

Allied Campaign
The Allied campaign sees Field Marshall Bingham first ordering the player to secure European Allied borders. After the Soviets are pushed out of Western Europe, the Allies and the Soviets both make the decision to ally against the Empire of the Rising Sun after being attacked by it while they were at their most vulnerable moments. With this alliance, the Allies and the Soviets manage to destroy naval blockades in the Mediterranean Sea and the Empire's Floating Fortress in the North Sea. At this time, American President Ackerman becomes angry at Marshall Bingham for his allying with the Soviets, instead of destroying them. He then takes the initiative to destroy Moscow with a superweapon controlled in Mount Rushmore. Bingham sends the player to kill him. With the alliance secured, the Allies plan an attack on Tokyo in order to wipe out the entire Empire military leadership with one stroke. Around this time, the Soviets lead by General Krukov were supposed to bring the "entire might" of the Soviet navy to assist the Allied forces. After many delays however, the Soviets noted that with their fleet so far away and with them experiencing 'personal troubles,' they decide not to participate and leave the player alone to deal with the Empire's forces. After the battle, Dr. Zelinsky defects to the Allies and warns them of a Soviet invasion force building up in Cuba, proving that Ackerman was right on his belief and that the Soviets have betrayed them. After destroying the invasion force in Cuba, the Allies launch Operation Chronostorm and teleport their forces to destroy Premier Cherdenko's fortress in Leningrad in order to stop Cherdenko from fleeing to outer space. In the end, Cherdenko and his General are placed in a Cryo-prison for life due to crimes against humanity. Meanwhile, Lt. Eva and Tanya both ask the Commander out to a date.

Empire Campaign
The Empire of the Rising Sun campaign begins with a full-scale invasion of the Soviet Union, just as the Soviets are pushing the Allies to the brink of defeat. Emperor Yoshiro's tactics initially involve striking at symbolic targets such as important monuments to affect the will and morale of the Soviets - and later, the capturing of broadcasting stations in the United States for use in broadcasting propaganda against the Allies. On the other hand, the Emperor's less-traditional son, Crown Prince Tatsu, advocates the attacking of true military targets - though his father would typically overrule him.

However, the Emperor's complacency soon forces the Empire onto the defensive against the forces of the Allies, who still had enough strength to mount full-scale attacks on Pearl Harbor at the Imperial islands of Hawaii and on one of the Empire's Floating Fortresses. Though both attacks are repelled, a joint Allied-Soviet task force successfully gains a foothold in Tokyo.

After witnessing the Soviet scientist Dr. Gregor Zelinsky contacting Field Marshall Bingham to inform the Allies about the Soviet time machine and Premier Cherdenko's changing of history via President Ackerman (who is now revealed to be an android operating as a spy for the Empire), Emperor Yoshiro realises his mistakes and concludes that there can be no "Divine Destiny" if events can be manipulated via time-travel. He surrenders command of the Shogunate (the Empire's military leaders) to his son. Under Prince Tatsu's command, the Allied-Soviet invasion of Tokyo is repelled, and a full-scale attack on the Kremlin results in the deaths of Premier Cherdenko and General Krukov - despite a last minute attempt to airlift the time machine to safety after the Kremlin's destruction.

In the final mission, the player is ordered to launch an attack against the remaining Allied forces in Amsterdam as they make their last stand defending the Allied Headquarters as well as the FutureTech Headquarters - the company responsible for much of the Allies' technological advances. Despite Dr. Zelinsky's arrival with Soviet reinforcements and the deployment of a prototype FutureTech ultraweapon that annihilates everything in the city, the Empire succeeds in defeating the Allies and destroying FutureTech and what remains of the Soviets - leaving the Empire of the Rising Sun free to rule the world. The commander's briefer, Intelligence Officer Suki Toyama, invites the commander to a private spot on the north shore of Oahu for some time off.

End of WWIII
The third World War, one of Mankind's most violent and devastating wars, lasted only 2 years, endinng in 1987. Surpassing GWWII and GWWIII, WWIII reaped the highest death toll ever since the first murder, and has left the world in fiery ruins and cinders. The outcome of the War is, however, unknown at best, but is split into three perspectives of the winner:

Allied Perspective
"Commander?"
 * Eva and Tanya dressing up for a date

The Allies, should they win WWIII, bring a permanent end to both the USSR and the Empire, restoring freedom, justice and liberty all over the world and for everyone once more. In celebration of this, Eva and Tanya dressed up for a date with the Commander (which, frankly, ends in disaster), while Gen. Krukov and Premier Cherdenko, for commiting crimes against humanity, end up frozen in the Cryo Prison, and a USSR statue topples from heavy damage, signaling the end of the Soviet reign. Ackerman, the maniacal president and undercover Imperial cyborg, was replaced by the Vice-President.

Soviet Perspective
"To you comrade. The future is yours!"
 * Dasha

The Soviet Commander, should he carry out his directives, not only defeated both the Allies and the Empire, but also become Premier of the USSR and, by extension, the known world, eliminating enemy VIPs - Emperor Yoshiro, Ackerman, "Yuriko", Tanya and even his own Premier Cherdenko are obviously on the list. He also brought down the Statue of Liberty in the final battle of the War and sent Yoshiro's King Oni into Apocalypse Tank hellfire at Mt. Fuji, bringing an end to Japan's Empire (and was labelled "dishonorable" by Tatsu for this). The Statue was, later on, rebuilt and New York, as a Conscript said, will be renamed as Commandersgrad, in honor of the Commander and his actions.

Imperial Perspective
"Come on Commander, even a Shogun could use a vacation!"
 * Suki

The Empire of the Rising Sun, should they realize Emperor Yoshiro's vision, slain both the Allies and the Soviets, dominating the World under their banner. A King Oni used its Radiant eyebeams to eliminate the flag of one of their fallen enemies, the Allies, and replaced it with an Imperial flag, serving as a grim reminder of Imperial power for generations yet to come. Yoshiro and Tatsu granted the honorary title of Supreme Shogun to the Commander, while Suki was at vacation in Hawaii and asked the Commander to join her.

From here, the future of the human race - and therefore Earth - remains uncertain after the guns fell silent at the end of World War III. As conclusion of this, in the words of now dead Albert Einstein:

"Time will tell. Sooner or later. Time will tell..."
