XCOM: Invasion.

3 min read
(A better take on the Bureau.) 

During the height of the Cold War between the US and USSR in 1962, Earth got an unequivocal answer to whatever there is life in outer space. As it turns out, that extraterrestrial life isn't the friendliest. The Outsiders' first wave of attacks were on the major international powers - the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France. Second and third waves of attacks came soon after, destroying major cities across the globe. In this dark time, there is the Bureau, an American-based group formed in the late 1950s in the event of a Soviet invasion of the US and to carry out a well-planned resistance to the hypothetical Soviet occupiers. At the same time, Bureau-like organizations in the UK, France, and USSR conduct their own anti-Outsider partisan attacks before finally banding with their American counterpart into a unified resistance to the Outsiders. 

Over the next two years, these groups retrieve important personnel, defend strategic sites, and recover what alien technology they can for research. In time, the Bureau learn of the Outsiders plan to turn Earth into a new world for them to colonize following the loss of their homeworld decades before. With this, the groups destroyed the gateways (even with the lost of the Bureau HQ after an infiltrator was relink to the Outsider network and one of the agents turned out to be under a symbiotic possession with a alien of light and energy), before taking out the command ship in orbit of Earth. The Outsiders, even with some wanting to have them assimilated into Earth culture, and live on reservations, were forced to leave Earth in their surviving ships. 

(But in this time of unified resistance, some took advantage of the chaos for their own ends. Another Arab coalition of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq attempted to destroy Israel (and failed); the KKK stole Outsider technology in an attempt to commit mass-murder of American blacks; various terror groups seized Outsider tech in an attempt to force their views on nations of the world)

With the UN discredited with the invasion, the nations of the world came together and hoped for a better future. In the end, they formed the World Council to better safeguard humanity and human interests in the now-sapient life filled galaxy. Tasked with rebuilding, dealing with the massive cultural and religious impact of unequivocal alien life, the various civil wars and ethnic conflicts across the globe, and trying to maintain a tight hold on Outsider tech and nuclear weapons, the World Council had a lot on its plate.

I have a idea. Now many of us like Street Fighter, and Darkstalkers. We also like Chun-Li, and Morrgian. Now i seen Marvel VS Capcom, and Project X Zone, and i been thinking, how would a Chun-Li X Morrgian story look like? Now i do not have the skill to do that. So, i ask the good people of deviantART to make this couple a real thing.  
 
So, what do you think?
