(A/N:In this timeline, it skips towards modern day in AD, However, this timeline doesn't follow our real-life events. This is a different scenario with a different set of events. This timeline is a cross mix of Halo, Endwar, COD: IW, Gundam SEED, and Gundam UC.Also, I'vehad some help from Wattpad AuthorWWIIFanHistory. Mainly his OC faction called the Hawking Industries. If you have questions, ask him about it.)
