Entering the lab
We see the headquarters of Keizai Industries standing within the city, while the crowd of people are walking on the roads.

'''Keizai Industries HQ, Tokyo, Japan. 2040.'''

''We cut to the leaders of their respective world military forces: ADA, ESU, CCS, PDF, TDF and RSSDF, coming closer to the entrance of the sliding door that leads to the underground, where Dr. Yoshihiro's secret laboratory is held. They are named Doug Parmer, Walter Schulz, Viktor Kalashnikov, Cheng Zhao, Tae-Hyeong Kim and Tomoyasu Nishimura respectively.''

Tomoyasu: This world is getting old, right? You sure about this company's secret project, gaijin?

Doug: Yep, that's what we're waiting for.

Viktor: Seriously, comrade, that idea is a top secret project for an interest to see humanoids and others from the different world. What do you think about it?

Doug: That's just what some Japanese guy told me about. It's secret. You'll see.

Tomoyasu: Come, my friends. We have to discuss that later on.

''The military leaders stop before the guards, standing beside the entrance door and asking for the password. Then Tomoyasu and the guards bow to each other.''

Tomoyasu: Konnichiwa!

Guard: Konnichiwa! What is your password?

Tomoyasu: Hirakegoma!

Guard: Good!

''We see the guard typing the password in numbers on the keypad. Then they perform the entrance pose and allow the military leaders to get inside.''

Guard: Please come in.

Tomoyasu: Alright, everyone. Let's go.

Doug: Alright then, you guys at the back too.

''The military leaders walking to the descending stairway. However, the pathway of the underground is confusing which one will lead to Dr. Yoshihiro's secret laboratory.''

Doug: What is this place? Which way to go and reach the laboratory?

Tomoyasu: That way. My friend is waiting for us to meet.

''Doug and the rest of the military leaders go to the right way. And then the screen fades in black.''

The Isekai Machine
''Later, we see the back door of the laboratory entrance opening for the nearby military leaders. Then we cut to the scene where the Isekai Machine is set. In addition, we see Dr. Yoshihiro receiving his document from the female lab assistant, using both hands, and bow to each other.''

Walter: Vhat kind of invention is zat?

Dr. Yoshihiro: Huh?

After that, he sees the military leaders of the world, and approaches to them by walking closer.

Doug: Hi! Nice to meet you.

Dr. Yoshihiro: Who are you, guys?

Doug: I'm Field Marshall Doug Palmer, this is Field General Tomoyasu Nishimura.

Tomoyasu: Konnichiwa!

Doug: And here are the world military leaders: Walter Schulz, Viktor Kalashnikov, Cheng Zhao and Tae-Hyeong Kim. How about you? Introduce yourself.

Dr. Yoshihiro: I am Dr. Yoshihiro Keizai, the brilliant scientist of this company. I came here, together with the help of my lab assistants, to invent a device that transports you to another but different world instead of mysteriously travelling to the other by paranormal means, such as heavens when we died. The name of our project is called...Isekai Machine.

Doug: Isekai Machine. How long it would take?

Dr. Yoshihiro: 6 months.

Doug: 6 months. That's too long.

Dr. Yoshihiro: Yes, yes. You don't believe me? It took months for us to finish our project here in this secret lab, but it is not ready for testing how it works yet.

We see the clips of the Isekai Machine while the military leaders are looking at it.

Viktor: Come, comrades. A differently new world awaits us.

Tomoyasu: Oi! Here's a memo, but we want you to prepare these coordinates if we like to see another world.

Tomoyasu gives Dr. Yoshihiro a memo in both hands.

Dr. Yoshihiro: No, sir. Please. Please! I'm begging you!

Tomoyasu: Now!

Dr. Yoshihiro: (bowing) Okay, okay, we will do it!

''Dr. Yoshihiro and the military leaders walk to the exterior of the Isekai Machine. On its entrance, he halts and bows to another female lab assistant as she opens the door for them before getting inside. Others will also follow, but Doug Palmer turns at the back.''

Doug: As we planned, let's get inside.

''Doug Palmer turns to the front of the lab assistant, and then bow to each other before he gets inside the Isekai Machine. Others will follow too. After that, we cut to the scene where Dr. Yoshihiro and the military leaders interiorly taking their seats as they are preparing to test how the Isekai Machine works. Then we cut to another female lab assistant closing the exterior door of the Isekai Machine as it is being ready to teleport its users to the different world. On the exterior door, we see a poster that reads in Japanese. However, the Isekai Machine immediately transports the users to another place, and the screen fades black.''

Animatopia
''Dr. Yoshihiro and the rest of the world military leaders have been transported to another world known as Animatopia, but they are still inside the Isekai Machine. Then they get outside from the interior of the machine.''

Dr. Yoshihiro: We changed our reality to this world.

Doug: Oh, so this world is different. That's weird.

Tomoyasu: What weirdness is this?

Cheng: I don't know what kind of place is this.

Walter: Vhere are ve now?

Tae-Hyeong: What is this place?

Viktor: This is a different world than our own.

Stick Figuroid explorer: Hey there, chief! Over here!

Walter: Who said zat?

We see the Stick Figuroid explorer approaches to Dr. Yoshihiro and the world military leaders.

Dr. Yoshihiro: Wait a minute. Is that?

Stick Figuroid explorer: Welcome to Moodley Island!

Doug: Who in this world are you? And what are you doing here?

Stick Figuroid explorer: The Stick Figuroid. I am here to greet you to this world known as Animatopia.

Doug: Animatopia. What is it?

Stick Figuroid explorer: It is both a planet and a place where all artistic beings reside here. You know who they are? Cartoon beings, puppets, stuffed creatures, anime beings, Stick Figuroids, Puppetoids, other artistic beings. They are all everywhere in this world.

Doug: So this world and reality themselves seem different.

Stick Figuroid explorer: Yeah! Exactly.

Dr. Yoshihiro: What are we planning to do, friend?

Yami Musume yanderes: (silent echo) Senpai...

Stick Figuroid explorer: Huh? What was that voice?

Yami Musume yanderes: (echoing louder) Senpai...

Stick Figuroid explorer: Oh no...It's a group of murderous girls!

Doug: What?

Stick Figuroid explorer: Here they come! Run for your lives!

''Stick Figuroid explorer screams in a masculine way and runs over to reach the Stick Figuroid territory as a trio of Yami Musume yanderes reach nearer to Dr. Yoshihiro and the military leaders. Then Doug and the rest look at them''

Doug: Uh oh!

Yami Musume yanderes: Konnichiwa, senpai!

Yami Musume yandere 1: How are you?

Doug: We are now fine. And who do you think you're doing here?

Yami Musume yandere 2: We're going to lethally murder you! We love doing this to the beloved ones like you!

Walter: Oh nein!

Viktor: Chyort!

Doug: This is bad!

Dr. Yoshihiro: This is getting worse and insane. Let's get the crap out of here!

With the violent intention of yanderes, Dr. Yoshihiro flees to the Isekai Machine.

Doug: Alright. Everyone, fallback to the Isekai Machine now! We have to go back to our world.

Tomoyasu: Yoshi!

Walter: Jawol!

Viktor: Da, tovarishch!

Tae-Hyeong: Ye!

Cheng: Very well!

''The rest of the military leaders head back to the Isekai Machine as the yanderes will make them dead. At the end of this scene, the Isekai Machine itself alternatively teleports back to the present Earth along with its users. Then we see the Isekai Machine in Dr. Yoshihiro's secret laboratory as it transports back to reality before the screen fades in black.''

The meeting
After the black screen fading out, we see Dr. Yoshihiro, Doug Parmer, Walter Schulz, Viktor Kalashnikov, Cheng Zhao, Tae-Hyeong Kim and Tomoyasu Nishimura getting inside the meeting room and taking their seats on the chairs, surrounding the table.

Doug: I don't understand why we do this.

Dr. Yoshihiro: We have altered the reality and changed to present here.

Viktor: Sounds interesting for changing the world from that to here!

Doug: Heh, that's nice to hear, comrade.

Tomoyasu: Oi, Keizai-san! Turn on the TV! I want to see what is happening to this world.

Dr. Yoshihiro: Alright.

Dr. Yoshihiro turns on the flat screen TV.

Makiko: Ohayo gozaimasu! The name's Makiko Nakayama, and this is NHM news reporting. As this event is broadcasting today, we got a situation here on Earth. The prime minister of Japan has declared to us that the reality of this world is altered, and being occupied by the inhabitants from another world. A vast, full-scale group of the invading forces has been landing to our homeland, trying to seize the control here and oppose the hegemony of our government as well as other foreign, key nations of the world. With this scenario, they also bent to make their civilization in a quest to take over this world. Like most defensive military forces around the world, we need to look for our nation's Self-Defense Force to dispatch here in Japan, and fend off the invaders before this is completely occupied by them. If not, then all of our hopes for humanity will be lost.

Dr. Yoshihiro turns the TV to the video channel by using a remote controller.

Doug: You heard that, guys? That's the bad news today.

Walter: So zat means ve are being surrounded by zose odd ones all along.

Dr. Yoshiro: Oh, this world is happening all over.

Viktor: We've been surrounded, comrade.

Doug: Yeah. I have to contact Mr. President about this.

Doug contacts Harrold Briggs via smartphone using the Skype-esque app.

Harrold: This is President Briggs of the United States of America.

Doug: Mr. President.

Harrold: How in the world happened, Field Marshall?

Doug: Here in the city of Tokyo, it is confirmed that we have altered the reality of this world using the device called the Isekai Machine. According to today's news report, we encountered the invading forces from another world, landing around here in Japan as well as taking other parts of the world for domination. We really don't know why they snuck on us around.

Harrold: So that means we are all surrounded by them during a full-scale invasion in this world.

Doug: Exactly yes, Mr. President. The scientist, foreign military leaders and I came here in this city to have a peace negotiation with each other, and discuss this situation. Besides, we must unleash our military forces to defend across the Earth from the invading forces like aliens. For another world, we'll do the same as the next target.

Harrold: Yep. I heard that, but be reminded that you'll double-check NORAD and have DEFCON at your disposal to prepare your defensive forces ready once you get there in Pentagon. In a mean time, be careful out there.

Doug: Will do, sir.

Doug dismisses the call of Harold Briggs.

The video channel of the TV turns and shows the screen with Tsuguhime.

Tsuguhime: Konnichiwa! It's good to see you, guys.

Doug: A long-haired girl in a camouflaged kimono? Who is this?

Tomoyasu: She's Tsuguhime, virtual officer of the anti-Godzilla military force.

Doug: Eh, excuse me. What is your military force called?

Tomoyasu: I called it the Rising Sun Self-Defense Force, a unified Japanese armed force comprising of Ground, Maritime, Mecha and Air forces.

Doug: Ah, I see. Mine is the organized coalition of America and her territories known as the A.D.A., meaning the American Defense Alliance. And how about you guys? Do you have your military forces aside from Japanese?

Walter: We Europeans have a multinational military force known as the European Superior Union.

Viktor: We Russians and our Eurasian allies have formed up the Commonwealth of Collective States, our coalition and the spiritual successor to the Soviet Union.

Cheng: The Chinese-organized Pacific Dragon Force.

Tae-Hyeong: And mine is the Taegeuk Defense Force, a military faction organized within the Korean peninsula, especially the South.

Doug: Good! Now we will be prepared for counter-assaults.

Tsuguhime: Sir, it appears that the invaders are preparing to have a vast assault against our home country, including the targets on specific foreign areas around the world.

Tomoyasu: Who are they? And what organization they belong?

Tsuguhime: Those are the forces of Kaijin Gundan.

Tomoyasu: Kaijin Gundan? It cannot be.

Tsuguhime: As well as the other ones too.

On TV, Tsuguhime shrinks down and moves to the right side of the screen, showing the world map.

Tsuguhime: As you can see, according to the world map, it shows that the enemies from another world, representing red dots, are spreading their formations and preparing for full-scale invasions on humanities to threaten us as well as world domination.

Doug: Oh, goodness be!

Dr. Yoshihiro: We have more foes to face? What about another world: Animatopia?

Tsuguhime: Sorry, sir. We don't have a data on the map of another world.

Tae-Hyeong: I'm afraid that we have a hell of situation down here.

Dr. Yoshihiro: This reality is horrible and terrible to us! Oh...who knows what nightmares we have created and faced?

Viktor: This is why the world has changed, and the invasion has begun. So we must unleash our powerful superweapons to annihilate them all!

Tomoyasu: What did you say, gaijin?

Viktor: Our atomic bombs? Our nukes? Our nuclear weapons like the Eurasians have?!

Tomoyasu: We Japanese don't have nuclear weapons to use, but instead we use energy-based weapons in our military arsenal.

Tae-Hyeong: Us Koreans too! We don't want the North of our peninsula to declare war on us for the possession of nuclear weapons that disturb our peaceful treaties. Instead, we use energy-based weapons of our military arsenal.

Walter: We have a few nuclear weapons in our ESU arsenal, but only the powerful Solaris-based weapons are very important for us Europeans.

Cheng: The nuclear weapons you asked, friend? We Chinese have them!

Doug: Okay then, guys.

Doug stands up and faces Tsuguhime on screen.

Doug: Don't worry, miss. In order to save humanities, we will have plans to help set up our defensive military plans, and repel or counter the invasions around the world. Another world on the other hand.

Tsuguhime: I wish you luck, sirs. I hope you can count on us here in this world.

''Doug bows to Tsuguhime on screen. Then faces Dr. Yoshihiro and the rest of world military leaders.''

Doug: Alright, guys. Let us get prepared to do this and make it happen.

The screen itself fades in black.

Invasions of Earth
''The black screen fades out, and we see the Statue of Liberty being shadowed by an unidentified aircraft as the first scene. Then second, the Eifel Tower is being shaded by the shadow of an unidentified flying object. Third, we see the Big Ben becoming shadowed by another unidentified aircraft. Fourth, we got the Pyramid of Giza getting shadowed by the UFO. Fifth, we see the Great Wall of China with the shadows of unidentified squadron of aircraft. Sixth, the Tokyo Tower is becoming shadowed by an unidentified flying object. And seventh, the unidentified fleet of aircraft are flying in the sky as the black screen fades in.''
