Various ground vehicles, aircraft, and naval warships from the Second World War (includes pre-war and post-war designs). I get my information from the book "Weapons of World War II" by Alexander Lüdeke, from World of Warships, and from Wikipedia (not entirely credible but "credible enough").

The meaning of Victory. (Male reader x NIKKE: Goddess of Victory.)
Humanity has taken heavy loses against the Raptures, mechanical creatures that came out of nowhere and claimed the title as Earth's new predominant species. But not all hope is lost. Androids that are capable to fight these machines have been built. Nikkes. You are their Commander, a rookie fresh out of the academy. Even so people should not underestimate you, for you are far, far better than any other commander and you are about to prove that fact right...
Goddess of Victory: Valoria Apex
*Warning* Starting from Chapter 38, this story will contain strong language, violence, and events which are inspired by real-life events. This story is also lore-heavy; significant knowledge of Nikke's lore is recommended, although not required to understand. Read at your own discretion. Humanity is decimated. Annililated by beings known as Raptures. All over the world, they slowly pushed us back until there was nowhere else to go. Nowhere else but underground. And so, as a final safe haven, the Ark was created. An underground utopia, built to support millions, was created. All was well. Humanity was finally given a second chance to live without the fear of the Raptures. However, from beyond the Solar System, a threat is arriving. A threat that is so inconceivably great that humanity may just go extinct for good. However, we won't go down without a fight. We'll give them a fight that they'll never forget. Why? Well, that's because we are the Counters Squad. (I do not own Goddess of Victory: Nikke) This story is based on Nikke's storyline. The story (excluding the ones from Nikke) is my own work. All chapters and extras will be published at 7:00 A.M. EDT.![A Link To The Past [Nikke x Legendary Commander]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/372243937-256-k536039.jpg)
A Link To The Past [Nikke x Legendary Commander]
Humanity once stood on the top of the world. They ruled the planet with an iron grip. Their rise in technology, industry, engineering, and science were quickly growing. However, an invasion on a worldwide scale had occurred in late 2023. Though there were initial successes in repelling these unknown, mechanical entities. They would eventually start to gain ground through quick adoption of newer variants of their beings and adjusting to counter common military tactics. However, more was needed, so came the introduction of Nikkes, an experimental female soldier that would be the first cybernetic frontline soldier. Even though there were attempts of converting males to such a task, they would become unsuccessful, as it was found out that males were more susceptible to cognitive dissonance and suicide. And so, females ranging from 18 to 30 years of age would remain the main source of Nikkes. As the war raged on, more variants of Nikkes would reinforce or replace the quickly diminishing forces of the world. There would be a significant breakthrough in the Nikkes, with the introduction of the Grimm models of Nikkes. Five Nikkes would be produced by a now defunct company. This squad would be called Goddess. They would be commanded by a special forces Captain Nicholas Miller, and through their first missions, they would further prove the effectiveness of specialized Nikkes and even push the Raptures back some. However, even their efforts would not be enough to stop the tithe of Raptures from encompassing Europe. After many years of fighting, there was one last desperate defense of a structure known as the Ark. Unfortunately, humanity would end up underground where they would spend the next 5 centuries fighting the raptures in smaller scale battles, skirmishes, and special operations. All while the fates of Goddess squad and the now legendary Captain Nicholas Miller had remained a mystery.Complete
Inevitable Ascension
***Completed*** If you knew your world would soon be torched to carbon, would you fight to save it? ...Or light a match of your own? Violina, a girl polarized by love and loathing, finds herself thrown into a post-apocalyptic world with mankind on the brink of extinction. Discovering the means to travel back in time, she teams up with the ever-optimistic, pun-loving Lux and sets out to prevent the apocalypse from ever happening in the first place. But as her crusade advances, she becomes increasingly disturbed by humanity's apparent *lack* of humanity and comes to a frightening realization: To build a new world, she must first tear the old one down. Inevitable Ascension-The twisted jigsaw puzzle of a story with equal parts rapid-fire action, humor and charm. It's got a host of twists that will literally make your brain explode! Actually not literally, you know, because otherwise that would be really gross. Who is V.K. McAllister? We're a husband/wife duo (Andrew and Sasha McAllister) with a unique approach to writing. We work simultaneously and in secret before combining what we come up with, resulting in dramatic and unexpected twists that surprise even us! Crazy? Yes, yes it is, but it's surprisingly fun and effective. :) We pretty much live for the Inevitable Ascension series and did just about everything ourselves-the writing, the editing, the publishing, the art (well, Andrew did the art, but Sasha provided invaluable consulting when it came to eyebrows), the audio book, the trailer-everything. We're basically a one-man band, except with two people... and no music... so perhaps not the best metaphor, but we're confident you get what we mean. Check out the trailer and art at www.inevitableascension.com :)Complete
Operation: Final Fleet? (Modern Warships/Ace Combat Series x Azur Lane)
"Sometimes....things can be explained easily. But others? I don't think it can" (Sequel, coming soon.) [LANGUAGE ADVISORY] Ships, squadrons, and superweapons from 2 universes, one that is the modern world, and another with giant superweapons, are transported to a world where world war 2 is in. Either they can turn the tide of the war, or they will fail and everything will end is something you'll find out yourself. Since these new ships and other people are modern, they will have to adapt to the environment, but they can cooperate. One world can easily identify their new friends, while others....they'll have that hard. [AUTHORS NOTE: THIS BOOK CAN HAVE CRAPPY OR NONSENSE CHAPTERS, BUT THEY WILL IMPROVE SOONER] [SIDE NOTE: I DO NOT OWN MOST OF THE STORYLINE OF AZUR LANE NOR ACE COMBAT. THE STORY IS BASED ON MY OWN, ANY PICTURES THAT ARE PRESENT CAN BE MINE, BUT OTHERS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS] [FINAL NOTE: THE MENTIONED ALLIANCE IN THE PICTURE CALLED: "United Allied Forces" IS MADE BY MYSELF. THIS IS A SELF GROUP FOR ROLEPLAY PURPOSES. ANYONE TRYING TO SEARCH IF THE UAF IS REAL SHOULD KNOW IT IS ONLY A SCHOOL AND NO SUCH MILITARY ORGANIZATION EXISTS. AND ANYONE TRYING TO COPY THE UAF SHOULD TAKE CREDIT FROM ME AS I AM THE ORIGINAL FOUNDER OF THE ROLEPLAY GROUP "UAF"] Since this is my first book, you can expect short chapters and the like, but since I have personal problems, expect some really unexpected chapters or the like going random.Complete

Heart of Gold (Nikke: Goddess of Victory FanFic)
When Earth had been invaded in an instant, the powers that be selected very few individuals who would one day defend the Earth in the far future and become the Hope of Humanity. Their plan, however, hadn't taken into account a different kind of threat, where the rest of humanity had to fight to survive on their own without these so-called "Hope of Humanity." Instead, the last of humanity created tough fighting machines known as Nikkes, who were the ones who truly became humanity's hope. Since the initial invasion, one of those Hopes has been awakened and brought into the Ark; a surviving underground civilization, where the remaining humans wait for the day they'd reclaim the surface.

My memory has failed me. My past haunts me. My decisions bite back at me with ferociousness not even a tiger would be able to achieve. I don't know how much I've lost just doing it... But I know for a fact, that if I just sat there and didn't do anything, I would've lost far more. No matter how dark the tunnel I thread through gets, I know that there are people out there that I can rely on to light up the way for me. Those people are to be protected at all cost. The ones in the center of my heart, all with caring and nurturing souls. I won't let any of them falter, for I know that they were the crutches that helped me walk when I couldn't. Make the cost my life, and I'll still pay the price. Nothing will get past me, mark my words. Cover art by @aloliindisguise, Syuen's most faithful commander.
