Multiversal Chaos: Gensokyo at War
Act 1: Operation Alice in Wonderland.
Prologue: Awakening and Rise, Encroaching Threats
A/N: Hello again, everyone! If you're wondering what this little story is about, then allow me to tell you:
This is basically a original plot arc in Multiversal Chaos, that is set after the Gensokyo arc, and the Fates arc. These two arcs are still in development, so know that there will a lot of plot holes, since the former two arcs haven't been completed yet, and that includes a certain batch of characters, and Richard's future relations with Gensokyo.
This arc is basically a re-written version of Lt Colonel Summer's 'Gensou Daisenso - Fantasy Blitzkrieg' series, which is one of the Touhou fanfiction series that I most enjoyed out of these places. It had a good plot, and although the writing and detail had room for improvement, it was a piece that was quite nice. The arc follows the plot of the story, except there will be a hell lot of changes, some that are long awaited by other fans of the work, and some that remain a big surprise for others. All I can say, is that the author gave me the green light to alter the plot as much as I need to create this arc, and I do believe that you may be surprised for how the story may come out.
Just so you know, this arc also has a secondary protagonist. Try to guess who it is, and you get a special mention, along with the possibility of adding one thing to the story, whether it be a event or a character, as long it doesn't deviate too much from my original plot.
Anyway, just so you know, the timeline of this arc is set from 3 months before the events of the original first 'Gensou Daisenso - Fantasy Blitzkrieg' story, with this being a prologue, before the first act, which will cover the remade events of the first story, will begin.
Note: The later chapters will have flashbacks that will date chronologically before the actual chapters, so do keep a eye out for them, since they will detail the story well. And the language of Richard's section remains in Japanese language, unless it is in italics, which indicates English being spoken.
Warning: This story may contain themes that may be racial and discriminating to races, and that all content inside should not be compared to realistic situations, although they are based off such things.

In the burning ashes of a dying city, two figures stand, opposite of each other on a desolate street, as flaming debris rained down around them, as the skies around them were orange and grey from the flames. Strangely enough, there were only almost inaudible thumps of explosions, despite how close they were to the battlefield.
One was a young black-haired soldier with a Asian appearance, clad in black military gear, complete with a black kelvar vest, both of which are slightly singed, as evident from the blue and orange glowing marks on them, and a slightly torn round patch, containing a silver shield with the white symbol of a humanoid mystic creature roaring at the skies, and a yellow katana that crosses over the shield from the bottom-right side to the top-left side of the shield, on the left shoulder of his military vest. He is also wearing black military boots and pants. He also had a black eye-patch crossed over his right eye, with whatever was under it hidden from the sight of others. He is wielding a golden blade, that seems to spark with blue energy, as the blade is heavily drenched in blood, as the drops on the blade sizzled, and the rest fell to the ground. His face was covered with soot, and several scratches of varying sizes that leaked blood, making it evident that he has fought a long battle, and it has taken its toll on him.
On the other side, was a relatively young soldier of American nationality, who had a more blue-ish colour in his hair, styled to look like the coat of a raven, who was clad in a more futuristic military gear, with a obsidian-black vest over his chest, although it is slightly chipped, and his attire was no better than the person who stood opposite of him, as he had a large grey blade over the back of his head, resting on his shoulder. His face is also grazed with many cuts, and his lips were glossed with some blood, as it leaked from the corner of his mouth. He had a symbol on the shoulder of his gear that read 'RAIDERS', and his body also sparked with energy, as it seemed like the suit had shielding which was barely functioning from the damage.
The Asian soldier looked at his enemy with a look of cold rage, as the other person only gave him a look of condescending arrogance.
"What do you hope to achieve here?" The futuristic brown-haired soldier asked the person he was facing, with a angered tone. "Do you think that just because the war is about to end, that your land will be saved? We, STI, have sworn to protect humanity, no matter the cost, and no matter the consequences. So, why fight futilely, when you will all be purged imme-"
"SILENCE." The black-haired Asian spoke with venom, interrupting his opponent's speech, as his look expressed his rage. "Yet you bicker about these pathetic things. Humanity, humanity. HUMANITY! Don't play that card, when you're the one who has been pulling the strings of the world with your little lineage of manipulators!"
The Asian warrior raises his blade, as the other soldier follows suit by placing his blade into a forward-stance.
"If it wasn't for you, Tatsuki would've lived to see his family! If you and your puppets didn't start this war, he wouldn't have to die as a martyr of a friend for this useless conflict!" He roared at his enemy. "But now, he's dead, along with so many others, with his being the first. Do you enjoy it? Tearing humanity against their own throats, and killing whoever you wished? And playing others, emotion, mind, memory, like they are merely to be disposed on first-hand!?"
"Like you're clean with your hands!" The American warrior retorted back. "You speak of peace and justice, and yet you are a murderer like that damn Yakumo! You destroyed that village, didn't you!? You are all monsters, without moral, and without kindness. The only thing that you have is a hatred to us!"
"DON'T FUCKING PILE ME WITH MORALLESS TRASH LIKE YOU!" The Asian roared back. "YOU WILL NOT WALK AWAY ALIVE FROM THIS WAR. NOT AFTER YOU HAVE MANIPULATED THE WORLD FOR CENTURIES! NOT AFTER YOU SENT COUNTLESS PEOPLE TO THEIR DEATH! NOT AFTER YOU DESTROYED THE LIVES OF SO MANY PEOPLE!"
The Asian then rose his blade up, pointed straight at his hated target, and he took a step back, preparing.
"I swear, for Gensokyo, for the others... you, ****, will die suffering for your sins..." The Asian hissed with rage, before then charged forth. "OR MY NAME IS NOT *****!"
The two warriors clash against each other, as the blade soon cause a large flash of white light that expands to engulf the whole area.
Richard suddenly jolts awake from his bed, as he found himself inside a large grey room, which had a lamp, a large wooden desk with various types of paper strewn on it, as well as a rack containing his military gear, as he then gasping quietly, but also rapidly.
"What... What the hell was that...?" Richard muttered to himself, as he looked around, as if he was looking for something. "Was that... a dream? Yakumo... That dream must be some sort of vision... but of who?"
Richard then shed off his thin white sheet blanket, as he then twisted himself out of bed, stepping on the ground, as he got up, and shook his body awake.
"Well, I guess this dream must have woke me quite early. I wonder if there is anyone else awake at this time..." He commented softly, as he then walked slowly across the room, as he was about to take his military clothes off the rack, and wear it on.
However, before he could make his way to his clothes, to dress himself, he was interrupted by the sound of knocking, on the metallic door of the room, complete with a silver pole-handle, as Richard turned to the door.
"Somebody's awake... And they want to see me. I wonder who it is..."
Richard then made the rest of his way to his clothes, before he began to dress himself up slowly. He then makes his way to the mirror, as he checked himself on it, although the surface of the mirror was slightly muddled from the dirtiness that clung to it, even though it did not prevent Richard from taking a good look at himself.
He checked over his black military gear, complete with a tinted-black camouflage suit, in order to help him blend in the darkness a little better, and to add a bit of style to his attire, as well having black army jeans, that have been reinforced with hard fabric in order to fortify it from attacks. His feet were covered by black leather lace boots, as he considered them to be quite helpful in allowing him to move as freely as he can, compared to steel-toed boots that other soldiers wear. And on the left shoulder of his coat, was a round patch, containing the insignia of the Gensokyo Human Defence Force, a silver shield with the white symbol of a head-shot of Keine's were-hakutaku form, roaring at the skies, and a yellow katana that crosses over the shield from the bottom-right side to the top-left side of the shield, as well as having the initials of the army name in white letters.
He only struck a pose at the mirror, as he did a finger-gun on his right hand, wryly smiling at his reflection.
"And ain't you a pretty soldier... Aren't you?" Richard replied to his reflection.
The knocking on the door repeated again, this time sounding more and more agitated, as Richard only hissed quietly.
"Ooh... Alright, alright!" Richard shouted, as he stomped to the door, a little annoyed by the loud knocking. "I know whoever you are, knocking on my doors, I appreciate it if you would be a little quieter with it."
Richard soon twisted the lock on the handle, allowing the door to be unlocked, before then pushing the handle down, and pulling the door open.
"How can I help you-" Richard said, before he then got a clear look at the visitor. "Oh, it's you. Sergeant Major Yusho."
A young Japanese man, with short scruffy brown-hair that is styled into a cowlick slightly on the right side of his head, and light brown eyes to match. He is dressed in the same attire with Richard, except he was wearing a grey Japanese army soldier uniform, with his shoulders each bearing the insignia of a Japanese sergeant, as well as having the symbol of the GSDF on the right breast of his uniform, and wearing black steel-toes boots like his fellow cohorts, and wearing black camo jeans.
"Sir!" The sergeant replied with a determined tone, as he saluted Richard immediately with his right hand. "I was only here to check if you were awake, Lieutenant Colonel Liu... I mean, Commander Liu! 2nd Lieutenant Senju, Warrant Officer Keikyo, and Master Sergeant Shinden are already awake, and awaiting your arrival!"
Richard only sighs softly, as he then places a hand on his subordinate's shoulder.
"Tatsuki, I know that you are a stickler to army rules, and that you want to respect your superiors well." Richard spoke softly, as he flashed a warm smile. "But there is no need for formalities with me. I treat you as a important ally, and a friend of mine, so you don't have to worry if you call me Richard. After all, everyone in the Unison Squad are a group of friends, with their bonds forged in the battlefields, as they grow to be companions for life."
Tatsuki only remained silent, before then nodding slowly, and smiling back.
"Affirmative. We are of different races, and this squad brings us all together, in order to form a team that will rely on each other, to use their strength together to fight for their causes, and to cover each other's weaknesses, to protect each other as valued friends." Tatsuki replied in a educated tone. "I'm still glad that you have selected me, when there would have been better candidates in my place."
Richard laughs heartily, before then slapping Tatsuki's back.
"Now, now, don't say that. Sure, there are people who are more smart, or more beefy than you, but I never have seen a person who has a good skill, and a brilliant cohesion with the other races of the army. It's as if you knew them inside out, and that's what makes you invaluable. You're the team's glue in sticking together. Now then, you did say that the other squad members were waiting for me, no?"
"Indeed." Tatsuki answered back solidly. "Colonel Kamishirasawa is also present, and she has something to ask of all of you. And she did mention that there are others on the way to see all of us."
"Well, I'd bet a good cigar that Yukari's one of the people coming." Richard replied, as he cocked his head slightly. "After all, it's been a while since she last checked the progress of this army. Let's not waste more time talking, when we got someone to greet, eh?"
Richard soon walked out of the door, as Tatsuki turned around to follow him, as they went down the long corridors, which split into many rows and columns, each with a different name, with different symbols, signifying the rank of the soldiers, as Richard's door contained the symbol of the Lieutenant Colonel symbol from the U.S army, a silver maple-leaf, with a wreath of olive leaves in the same colour below it.
The base was very reinforced and metallic, as the windows have been tinted slightly darker, indicating the glass was well-reinforced, as well as having strong walls that shone with the black hue of titanium. The corridors were barren from any rubbish and other clutter, while there were some bins, as well as various vending machines, and computer terminals, as Richard noticed that there were only a few soldiers on each of them, considering that it was quite early in the morning, even for the trained army.
He soon proceeded down the hallways, as the corridor ended on a large central hub, where there was a sign on a nearby wall that read 'East Wing', which was where Richard and Tatsuki came from. He then noticed that the military cafeteria was still closed, although there was a quiet hum from the various vending machines loitered around the area, as well as empty stalls filled with various kinds of food in metal containers. He then noticed how the room was still quite bright, even though it was barely dawn yet, and he saw that the door to the armoury and shooting range remained open.
"I do wonder who would be up right now, to train in the shooting range..." Richard muttered to himself, as he heard quiet thumps of guns being fired, although it sounded in such intervals, that there were only one person in the range.
Tatsuki then moved over to the northern side of the hub, as there is a large modern metal gate in the path, with a inactive scanning terminal on the right side. He then pressed a swtich on the side, as the screen of the terminal suddenly flickered on, in blue
"PLEASE SCAN YOUR IDENTITY CARD FOR RECOGNITION." A metallic female voice said.
Tatsuki pulled out a blue identity card, as he swiped it across the screen, as a round buffering icon appeared, as the system then spoke again.
"SERGEANT RANK MEMBER DETECTED. FURTHER SCANS REQUIRED. RETINAL AND FINGERPRINT ANALYSIS REQUIRED FOR EXIT." The terminal then clicked and whirred, as a retinal camera appeared over the terminal, and the screen showed a fingerprint scan screen, as the Japanese soldier placed his eye near the camera, and pressed his thumb on the screen.
"IDENTITY CONFIRMED AS SGT TATSUKI YUSHO. DETECTING FOR ALL OTHER MEMBERS." The machine confirms, before pulling out a laser scanner, that goes over the vicinity near Tatsuki. "HIGHER RANKING OFFICIAL DETECTED. LIEUTENANT COLONEL IDENTITY CARD DETECTED. STATE VOICE-PRINT, AND SHOW RETINAL AND FINGERPRINT ANALYSIS."
"I guess this system really wants to double-check it's me there." Richard replied, before repeating the same things done by his sergeant, before waiting for a mic to appear in front of him. "Verification Code Miko A-ru-pa Romeo. The Earth and Moon are celestial fools."
"IDENTITY CONFIRMED. LIEUTENANT CORPROAL RICHARD LIU. NO FURTHER SCANS REQUIRED FOR OTHER MEMBERS." The verification devices soon withdrawed, as there is the sound of multiple locks being disengaged at once. "UNLOCKING OUTER AND INNER DOORS."
The metallic gate soon slid open like a camera shutter, as there is a heat-proof shielding door that is opened after it, and a air-proof air-lock door, before opening the outer entrance to reveal the outside.
"C'mon. Colonel Kamishirasawa's ain't going to happy if we both break protocol." Richard spoke in a joking manner.
They soon move out of the building, as they find themselves inside the centre of a forest a few miles away from the Human Village. The doors close behind them, as they are greeted to the sight of the sea of trees that stretches far across, as well as the sight of a militaristic army site, complete with warehouses for storage of equipment and vehicles, and a outside shooting range, that is currently not in use, as there are straw dummies with various faces written on them, and various kinds of protection equipped to certain rows of them. On the centre of the site, there was a tall metal pole, that has a large flag, that contains the army's symbol, which was a Yin-Yang Ball crossed over with a red shield, and the un-detailed heads of the various races, humans and youkai circling around the yin-yang ball, as a symbol of unity.
When Richard looked behind him, he saw that the very base that he woke up in, was so large, that it would be comparable to an underground complex, although there is one slightly under the base, through various passages in the base. It had the four residence wings of the building spread out in a X-formation, as there are various marking on the ground, and hatches, that held any base-defence measures like anti-air guns and mounted turrets.
He soon moved forward to take a look at the front gate, where he saw Keine Kamishirasawa, dressed up in her usual blue dress, although she has a retro-grade assault rifle slung over her shoulder, and on her left sleeve, was the markings of a green rectangle, that has two bars below a triangular trio of stars, indicating her rank as a colonel in the army. She seems to be looking around, as if she was expecting someone, whether it is a friend or enemy.
"Oi, Colonel! Keine!" Richard called out. "You looking for us?"
Keine soon turns to Richard with a sharpened expression, before then smiling at him.
"Oh, it's you, Richard. As usual, you don't seem to look like you're tired at all. Isn't that right?" She asked Richard in a friendly tone, who yawned loudly, before nodding softly.
"Well, it's been a battle of the constant days of vigilance piling up on my head, and the adrenaline of being prepared for anything and everything that keeps me awake. Especially when I can predict that shit is about to hit the fan, if you won't find offence, considering your profession before this mobilization a long time ago happened." He replied, shaking off the drowsiness in his voice.
"Well, look it this way, my young helper. If it were in the past, I would scold you harshly for that kind of tongue." Keine replied. "But now? I'm already used to it. After all, humans cuss day by day, and I have been the recipient of such insults, so I am not interested in indulging them."
"Just like the proud queen of the village as you were." Richard answered back with a warm smile. "Just like that."
"Oh, and glad to see you are awake too, Tatsuki." Keine added to her previous statement.
Before the conversation could continue, a sukima opened, as a middle-aged blonde-haired female stepped out. She is dressed in a purple-tinted leather coat, which is endowed with various kinds of medal on the breast pocket on the right side, and a golden pocket-mirror hanging around the left, and yellow brush-pads on the shoulders, and just below them were the marking of three stars and a symbol of as well as having long black heel-boots, which seem to make clanking sounds walking among the ground.
As the blonde female came, keeping her posture straight and calm, Richard turned around slowly, before placing his right hand above his head for a conventional salute, as Keine did the same, while Tatsuki followed after the other two, but doing it in one sudden motion, as if he was worried about his timing.
"All hands, salute Supreme General Yakumo." Richard stated in a authoritative tone, before dropping it with a smile. "Or so you expect from people like me, eh, Yukari?"
"That's good behaviour, Richard." Yukari replied in a teasing tone. "You know, if I placed you with the humans out there, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference with how you're acting now."
"Save me the words." Richard said in a uninterested tone, before he then lifted a finger. "Hold on for one moment."
Richard soon opens a small sukima just above his face, as he places his index finger and his thumb inside, before pulling out an long brown army cigar by the lit end, and then moving his fingers slightly, as he uses his other hand to light the cigar alight with a small flame on his finger, before then stuffing it in, and breathing deeply, letting out a great puff of smoke.
"Well, now, looks like the boy wants to be the big bad head honcho stereotype, huh?" Yukari drawled.
"Pfft… Blame yourself. You're the one who told me that I need a cig in my mouth to add to my image." Richard replied, as he had the cig clenched towards his right. "You better appreciate that I bit the bullet, having to choke on the damn smoke so many times before I could smoke it right, so many times that I swear people think I'm having lung cancer. Speaking of that crap, just because I'm something like a Hourai Immortal doesn't mean I can't get sick. That's the difference between Kaguya and me. She can't get sick and diseased, but I can, if I'm not careful."
"I plead the fourth~" Yukari spoke with her sweet tone, before she then wipes the smirk off her face. "Alright, there is a reason that you're called here, and not the others. It's a matter that only you three need to know… for now."
"Well? Out with it then." Richard said, as he gestured at Yukari, while Keine crosses her arms and nods as well.
"The human factions are preparing for war. And this time, I mean it's very imminent." Yukari declared in a tone that promised no nonsense. "Ran's cover in the outside world has made this fact very clear. How are the troops, and I mean in average level?"
"The troops?" Richard asked. "Well, they're no worse than WW2 soldiers, and they have potential to go beyond the level of normal soldiers. Just because humans don't have all that fancy power that youkais have, they have a good cohesion with the other races, and thus they are the best people to assist and support the youkai. Either way, the troops are trained well. We've got our ranks filed out, and our training yielded some interesting results. So far, I have two people who are due for promotion to Major, and a few more for Captain positions, and all of them fit the requirements for their ranks to a T, good individual might, good leadership, and skills that make them unique and useful on the field together. You could say, Yukari, despite us being the smallest army force in the factions of Gensokyo, we make up quantity with elites full of quality and power."
"Good to know. That sit-rep eases my worries. That also means that we won't have to mobilize until later." Yukari replied. "It also means that your people have longer to enjoy peace before it is shredded to pieces by the oncoming war."
"And that is why we're formed. I ain't handing Gensokyo to a bunch of monopolizing shits, or some shits who discriminate beings that are not themselves." Richard spoke back in a heated tone. "Not after what I went through. I won't let the others die for a stupid war, and for stupid reasons. That is a promise that I intend to keep, and sacrifice all, even my own reputation and life to achieve. And you know exactly that, Yukari. I AIN'T having another person suffer what I went through."
Yukari remains silent, as she gives Richard a look that shares some sympathy.
"I see. Then call your other squad members out. After all, you need to keep your squad at optimal shape, if you're going to keep your goals within reach." Yukari replied, as she then turns away, creating a sukima in front of herself. "Remember, we must be prepared for everything, especially when we have them cornered in their most undesirable scenarios. Just like the humans here, the humans in the Outside World aren't going to make war something we can brush off easily, if we don't fight back properly."
"You can trust me and Keine, Yukari." Richard replied, as he placed an arm over his chest. "We'll keep the central force of the Human Village well. I will lessen the causalities, and make sure the war ends early. For both of our sakes."
Yukari gives Richard a side-glance, before smiling.
"I trust you, Richard. After all, without Minerva. You're going to have to act as the tactician of the army when the time comes, and be the man to lead them on the front fields." She concluded her words. "Well then, I wish you luck."
Yukari then walks into her sukima, as it closes itself, and Richard lets out a scoff.
"Luck? That is one thing I prefer not to rely on." Richard muttered to himself.
Soon the doors of the base open again, to reveal a young man who seems to retained his teenage youth, with brown hair that is parted to the sides evenly, with brown eyes to complement them. He is wearing the same uniform as Richard, except his patch is on the opposite shoulder, and he has a Howa-Type machine gun on his back.
"Well, well, ain't it my buddy, Gus?" Richard replied. "I take it you're the one who was up and shooting?"
"You caught me, Richard." Gus replied, as he raised his arms in mock surrender with a wide grin. "I was just trying to get some more training. After all, I need to be in front of the others in terms of experience, if I'm going to lead the others."
"Trust me, Gus. The term 'leader' is written all over you in big glowing letters." His friend replied with a slight chuckle. "After all, after me, you're the best leader there is. You know how to make the decisions, and you know the others like the palm of your hand, and I'm not exaggerating here."
"So, what are you doing out here?" Gus asked.
"Ahem. Captain Gus. If I may." Tatsuki replied, coughing into his hand for emphasis to gain the brown foreigner's attention. "I'd like to report that General Yakumo has called for a meeting for Richard, and that she is to break the bad news that conflict is nearing."
Gus lets out a slight tsk.
"So soon…. Even if was a long three months, that doesn't mean I'm ready to go out and kill others." Gus replied in a bitter tone. "I know I have to kill to protect, but I don't know if I can do either well enough…."
"Hey!" Richard replied, as he slapped Gus's back. "Don't say that! You're more than qualified to send those bastards to a grave if they even harm a single hair on the innocents here. If not, just roast them! That's what you did with the others. Your magic should be able to knock them out, and give them a new lease on life. At most, their only freedom in the cells, but they will be safe nonetheless. Except when they meet Yuuka."
Richard shivers slightly, as he mentioned the name 'Yuuka', as Gus's expression pales slightly.
"Right, right." Gus replied. "And I guess that peace talk would have only brought us so much time?"
Richard turned to face the skies, looking up.
"To have this much time, Gus…" Richard said in a solemn tone. "Especially how it went…."
"-OR MY NAME IS NOT *****!"
Lieutenant Colonel Jack Summers woke up in a cold sweat from his own personal bed, which lacked the luxury that someone of his status would have, as his hair was slightly messed from his sudden rude awakening.
He let out a few gasping breaths, even though his state looks like that he is a fortress of health, a person who is guaranteed optimal health.
"What…. What was that?" LT muttered to himself, as he looked at his arms which were out, as they are shaking slightly. "What kind of dream… or nightmare was that?"
He then hissed slightly, as he placed his right hand on his fore-head, as if he was trying to massage something out of it. "Damn…. Something about this thing really reminds me of what happened back in that peace conference… Especially that voice at the end…."
LT then looked around, noticing that he was still in his bare-chested state, and that his private quarters remained as normal as ever, according to him, with the countless items that are strewn over the many cabinets and tables in the room. The collection of objects ranged from the picture of his family, taken when he was still in the middle of his childhood, with his father and mother, who have passed away up until now, to certificates that contained his name on it, mostly being of military honours and gratitude checks from the various clients that he has assisted, to various normal collectibles that any normal citizen would have, including teacups and exquisite art.
However, what remained unique about his room, and kept him hoping for his future, was a large silver holographic projector, standing up-right on the centre of his table, and projecting in its most beautiful blue glory, the symbol of the Earth held by the wreath of olives leaves, with the words 'GLOBAL COUNCIL MEMBER' on the bottom of the symbols, as it leaves behind an almost inaudible hum that actually calmed LT a little.
Suddenly, he notices that the futuristic alarm clock by his side, was flashing on and off with an alarm tone that doesn't sound so grating as the ones that are commonly sold around the world, instead being more soothing and smooth, allowing him to wake day-by-day without acting like a utter grouch from the rude awakening that any normal alarm clock would have given him.
He slammed his hand on the clock, and immediately moved out of his bed, and pressed a certain space on the wall, which glowed blue, before the walls whirred with the sound of machinery, flipping around to show his arsenal of weaponry, which he took pride in, with his favourite weapons from each category of weaponry, as well as his other gear.
He then picked off his military suit, which was a bluish-black variation of the US military gear, except the suit was reinforced with Teflon fabric, making it much stronger than any ordinary military suit. The suit also had the distinct difference of having shoulder patches on both sides of the suit, one of them being a round patch with the logo of the STI, or the Summers Technological Industries, which was a red ring around the detailed Earth, as well as a silver shield behind the planet. His other shoulder patch type, which was under his STI insignia patches, was the symbol of a military helmet with assault rifles underneath it in a cross-bones formation, as well the word 'RAIDERS' printed in Impact Font over the bottom.
Slowly equipping his attire, he gives another look over the room, just to check if there was something that he would have missed, before he then finished off wearing his gear, and made the way to the door.
The door led to a short white hall that had the personal residences of his own Special Forces squad, the Raiders, which was linked to the same white doors that he has just exited out of. In front of him was a hallway leading to a single elevator, complete with a display of which floor it was on, starting with 'G'.
He gave the bottom button a nudge, as the lift whirred quietly, as it got to its destination fairly quick, letting out a resounding ding and a series of clicks, before the doors shunted themselves open, showing the bland white interior of the elevator.
Stepping into it, he turned to the button panel provided, which was placed on a smooth oak-wood panel with chrome-tinted edges. Searching over the buttons quietly, letting a quiet hum, before pressing the 'H' button, as it lit up green, before the doors closed themselves, and sent him hurtling to his destination.
The elevator then comes to a sudden halt, jolting LT slightly as he lets out a surprised yelp, before he then watched the doors open, as they showed a T-section corridor in his way. In front of him, was a path of the helipad, placed on a separate construct as the main building itself. Linked by a passage with most of the sides and the tops being strewn with glass-panes that allow anyone in them to see the surrounding world.
On his sides was a series of rooms that contained various signs that had symbols on them to indicate their contents, including a simulation room, toilets for his shoulders, and a mess room for all of his of his staff and more.
The halls were strewn with various ranks of personnel, ranging from regular trainees, which was dressed up in black and blue suits with the logo of the company, specialist staffs that had suits that were mainly of one colour with several white chevrons and stripes all around their attire, agents, who were in black tuxedos complete with various kinds of personal gear, as well as other staff that wore casual attire.
While LT left the elevator, most of the men immediately stopped what they were doing, and gave him a strong salute, calling out either 'Sir!', or 'Commander!' holding it for a few seconds, before they returned to their actions, while some of the higher-ranked staff did the salute without any sudden movements. As LT looked around, he began to admire how well he was received by his subordinates.
But even so… LT thought. I have something to do. Now where's the four agents that I have called to meet me? I woke just in time to make my way here right on the dot.
He then slowly walked through the pathway to the enormous helipad, as the doors in the end opened and closed many times as people went in and out of it. He then looked around, taking in the environment.
The STI complex was situated on an island that was fairly close to the beaches of Washington D.C, as the majestic city laid around the complex. The sun shined upon the complex fully, allowing its shape to be fully seen by all in the passage. The complex was a huge multi-storey complex that had a shiny black lustre on its outer walls, as well as having several mounted defences, including AA-guns and minigun mounts to be used in the defence of this complex. Below the building was a huge garden, complete with metallic gates to the west side, where the complex could be entered, as was having various sculptures and fountains strewn across the natural landscape.
LT, having had enough of taking in what is not needed, and deciding that he has more important things to focus on, looks back in front of himself, as he walks through the doors, as his face was greeted by a great gust of wind. He soon pulls out a pair of shades from the pocket of his coat, which was stored inside beforehand.
The helipad contained multiple types of military aircraft, ranging from futuristic versions of Chinooks, to the modernized version of Apaches that are equipped with side-arms that are befitting of the current era, from multi-missile launchers to miniature versions of rail-guns. However, a large VTOL ship caught his eye, as there were already a few people who were gathered around it, dressed in the same gear as LT, except their second shoulder patches are different.
One was a Chinese-American lady with long black hair with several red bangs inside of it, tied into a hanging pony-tail behind her head, as well as having a slightly slim and slender frame, having a modernistic bow tied to a quiver that contained arrows that have various types of tips, so many that one would question if she was Hawkeye's rival or not. She has a shoulder patch of two arrows crossed over a sun symbol. Another was a European person with short brown hair that is left ruffled, creating several licks all over his head, as he has black finger-less gloves over his hand, as well as an assault-rifle strapped to his back, and having a rectangular flag of the UK, except the red cross is replaced by yellow jagged thunder streaks. The third one was a Japanese man with black hair that was slicked back, and having a large customized sniper rifle on his back, as well as a katana that is slightly crossed over his back. On his shoulders were a symbol of round and crossed cross-hairs, with a punctured skull in the middle of it. The last one was an American with tan skin that had yellow hair that covers around his ears. On his waists were sub-machine guns, and his suit contained various kinds of technical gadgets that were unique to him.
The female Chinese-American archer was talking to the Japanese sniper, as she has a raised eyebrow, and a hand up, while the British soldier was pounding his fists together, before then letting out a whoop, and leaning on the edge of the helicopter with a wide grin, and the blonde American shoulder was about to chew off his comrade.
The arrival of LT, caused them to stop in their tracks, before they turned to him, as the archer walked up to LT with a tilted head and a stoic expression.
"So, you're here then, LT?" She asked him. "Right on time, and just as expected."
"Hey, this isn't the time to talk about that, Alice." LT spoke in a chiding tone. "Not with the current situation at hand."
Alice only looks away. "Ah. That's right. Still…." Alice replied, before she then shook her head. "Never mind."
The British solider then jumped off from leaning, as he then walks to LT with a smug expression.
"So, the great and powerful LT has come to ask for my help for a little exploration." Edge replied in a bold tone, stretching the last word out a little. "Why, thank you, I'd love to help-"
A glare from LT prevented the soldier from speaking more.
"Edge, do not make me regret calling you in for this mission." He spoke, slightly irritated, before turning to the other American in the vicinity. "By the way, David. How are the systems going?"
"Systems are all green, LT." David replied with a short nod. "We are ready to go."
"Takagi?"
The Japanese sniper only let out a simple grunt, and moved closer. "At your command, LT-taicho."
"Good, good. So now that everyone is here, and our ride is good as ready, with our complement of Turk elites, it's time that I begin doing a little briefing to the four of you." LT answered back, before he crossed his arms. "Right now, we have a situation that could lead to DEFCON-0. Yes, that's how bad it is, for me to actually add an extra level to the usual DEFCON protocol. We are about to go 'SCORCHED EARTH'. Right now, a lot of military craft has disappeared over an area within Asahi territory, and there has been whatsoever no reports of anything, other than a large rip in space. One could only wonder where our answers lie. So the main objective, if it isn't obvious enough for everyone inside that craft, and for all of you RAIDERS under my command, is to get inside that hole, find out what the hell has happened to all of the craft inside, and get out immediately. Am I clear?"
"Crystal." Alice replied with a nod.
"Damn right!" Edge shouted, pumping a fist up.
"Ryokai." Takagi emotionlessly intoned back.
"Yes, sir." David replied, as he did a salute immediately.
"Good to hear that." LT replied with a smile. "Now, how about we get this little 'vacation' of ours started?"
LT soon walked inside the VTOL, as there is already men armed in black military gear, and armed with various types of gears befitting of their class and rank, already strapped into the sides of the aircraft by metallic U-shaped handle-bars that have already locked them in, as some of them wave at LT, letting out various replies.
LT soon positioned himself in a seat that was close to the back ramp of the VTOL, as he sat down, and immediately pulled down the handle-bars to restrain himself tightly on his seat with a resounding click, as Takagi, Alice, Edge and David do the same, with them all sitting opposite of him.
"Attention all of you boys in there." The intercoms buzzed on, as the pilot's voice rings through the aircraft. "We're about to take off. I hope you all buckled up, because I bet you my own life that this ride is going to get bumpy."
The VTOL's rear ramp soon shuts itself slowly, as the engines began to roar outside, while turning itself to begin entering long-flight mode to the country.
"It's been two months since the meeting with those leaders who claim to be in that land called 'Gensokyo'…." LT muttered himself. "I can only say that wherever that little rip in space leads to, it definitely leads us to there…. And that's they are guilty of those incidents."
Flashback, two months ago, in the World Leader Conference, on an island at the centre of the Atlantic Sea.
The conference room was silent, with only the sound of a clock ticking, coming from the enormous round clock that is positioned near the ceiling of the building. Around on the far side of the enormous circular white table, laid the leaders of the countries in the Outside World. On the leftmost sear, was a Japanese man that was dressed in a black Japanese general coat, with red thin-rimmed glasses over his eyes, as he rested his arms on the table, clasped together. His placard indicated that he was Suzuki, the proud Prime Minister of the country of Asahi. The next member, on his right side, was a fairly elderly Chinese man, with a mullet, and he had a slightly more muscular figure than what normal politicians would have, as well as wearing a green beret loosely on his head, as well as having a green military coat over his body. He is Gong Chengming, the President of the nation of Chugoku, who is now tapping his finger on the table impatiently. On the right-most side was a middle-aged Russian Man with short red hair and a handle-bar moustache that is parted to the sides, as well as wearing a red uniform that is decorated with the flag of his country, as the President of Malkrantia, Tasnil Demitri, sitting quietly. On Demitri's left was the Chancellor of Necopolis, Adolf Van Duer, who was a German Man who shared the short brush moustache that would have been able to compare with Hitler's, as well as having his black hair stroked back into a short hair-style, giving Demitri several glares, before then looking back at the other side of the table.
The centre of the table was occupied by three different leaders. One is Arthur Williams, the well-known Prime Minister of Bevelle, being a tall British man that has brown hair that is tidied to the side of his heads, and his attire was a blue suit complemented with various accessories, including an old-time pocket watch, the other was Snow Valleys, who was a American man who claims the title of President of Registan, a man with hair that is as white as snow, who was showing a calm expression, although sweat beads were running down on his neck, and on the very centre was LT himself, with his full name marked on the name stand as 'Lieutenant Colonel Jack Summers', wearing his military gear.
Before long, several sukimas appeared as Kaguya, Yukari, Remilia, Yuyuko, Reimu, Kanako and Richard come out of them, as they make their way to the seats, and sit down immediately, with Richard and Reimu sitting beside Yukari, who is in the centre of the group. Yukari then places her arms on the table, as the sukimas closed themselves.
"So, you have enough faith in our word, to come here by yourselves, and organise this conference between the two factions." Yukari muttered to herself, with a smirk. "I do believe that you have done me a good favour in doing so."
"Hmph." Tasnil replied with a loud snort. "Mother Malkrantia wouldn't approve of meeting with a country that has been outdated, and still relies on Communism. What's to stop you from backstabbing us?"
When Richard heard Tasnil's words, his face showed anger and defiance for a split second, as he passed an arm on his table, before returning to his calm composure. However, Yukari reacted far more differently, instead only chuckling, as she pulled out her fan, and opening it, giving Tasnil a glare over it.
"Because, dear Demitri, if we had such ideas, then we wouldn't be having such a conference. If I were to kill you all here and now, I'd would have already ordered nuclear weaponry to be fired at my location, at point-blank range through the same sukimas that I have come in through." Yukari regarded him with a half-mocking and a half-critical tone, before she then folds her fan back together with a snap, to make her point, as the leaders of the Outside World staggered back off their seats slightly.
Yukari then merely waves a hand over. "But… I kid you all. I am not one to do suicidal tendencies, even though I could made certain all of us are safe, while none of us survive. After all, what's to stop YOU from doing the same thing? You have not had good relations with people who believe in the supernatural, or are a part of said culture. And here we stand, as a major group of them. Backstabbing us is a mere inevitability, should this meeting have not been conducted in secrecy from any and all media."
"Y-You're crazy!" Snow roared, as she slammed his hands on the table, before pointed at her with a accusing finger. "Not a single sane person would even be as cruel to think of such jokes! Your words are mere declaration of wars hidden under that sweet veil of your words!"
"Maybe I am insane, Snow Valleys." Yukari replied, before she then smiles evilly. "But then again, in this world, sanity is merely a word to describe tolerable types and levels of insanity. In this world, insanity is a guarantee. It is only how we perceive the sanity and the mind of others, that we understand who is the serious and sane, and who is the hypocritical and contradictory."
"You-!" Snow Valleys was about to burst, before Gong Chengming, who was sitting beside him, pulled him down by the shoulder, as Snow sat down quietly, while Gong Chengming still had his hand on his shoulder
"Sit down, Comrade Snow." The leader of Chugoku assured the president. "I can tell that she is like a snake with her words, but her words bear no weight of lies. She is being honest of her intentions to us, to make peace with us."
The other Outside World leaders talked amongst themselves, as LT remained silent, glaring at Yukari, who didn't acknowledge him.
"Now, regarding back to what we have met for, before all of this drama has happened." Yukari replied. "I will be completely direct and honest about my words. I want a ceasefire between us, or a military peace, you may call it. Either way, I want you to not try and attempt trying to take our country, since it would cause a lot of trouble for me and the residents that are gathered here."
"Like you would stick to your promises, Yukari Yakumo, if that is your true name." Suzuki spoke in an accusing tone. "I could only wander what you would do the moment that you decide that we lose our worth in peace, and then go around destroying everything in my honourable country with your barbaric ways."
"Prime Minister Suzuki, we have no reason start off a war, with both of our populations at risk. Do not mistake our peace offering as a sign of weakness. We will devastate the world, if you try to provoke us through needless aggression." Yukari answered back.
"We will not stand for such treachery!" Fuer roared, as he stood up immediately. "We are united as one world. It does not matter what threat you may pose against us. You will not easily walk into for war, and come out without any significant losses. We have fought faction after faction as a alliance, and never once we have failed. So know that you should be grateful that we are allowing a peace talk to occur, when we should be confining your country 'Gensokyo'!"
"You are going too far. We have no such intent or motive to do such things-"Yukari was about to reply.
"Typical. Isn't it. You would pass off any other faction that could pose threats to you, as threats to your world. How predictable. How very predictable, indeed."
Most of the people suddenly whipped their heads over to Richard, who just spoke, as he stood up with a very aggravated expression on his face.
"What, you think I wasn't going to make an input at all? That I'm just here to wander around like a aimless idiot?" Richard replied in a biting tone. "Get real. Yukari had her time to speak, and it's my turn to give you a little taste of reality."
"Ha!" Tasnil barked in sarcasm. "What is a young boy like you going to do? Whine?"
"Laugh it up, Stalin the whatever-th." Richard retorted. "You think you're all complete paragons of justice and equality, do you? You think you're the living interpretations of the messiahs to your own people, huh? And you think that I'm an actual boy, do you?"
Richard then points right at LT.
"Don't bull-shit me. I'm just as old as that 'young' prodigy of yours in the back." Richard spoke with an angered tone. "You think you're the only ones who get the people who turn the world around by their feet as ground-breaking prodigies. After all, you're staring at one. I don't need old fucking farts like you lot to belittle me, especially when your damn role is just simply to sit pretty, and talk all kinds of shit as long it pleases the masses."
LT turns his glare at Richard, as the latter begins to sit down.
"Here's a little fact, one that you cannot deny. You are as stained with war crimes as you did with the rest of us." Richard replied, as he tilted his head with a false smile. "How many innocents have died in your little wars? How many people were used for your purposes, and forced to suffer a life of misery until their end comes? How much of the human freedom have you crushed with your little union?"
"Silence, you treacherous-"Fuer hissed at Richard.
"Oh, SHUT the hell up, Adolf! I don't have any fucking clue as to why someone would be so stupid to allow a descendant of Hitler into the country." Richard barked back at the Necopolis leader, before he then lifted a finger in mock realisation. "Oh wait, it's because you're planning to do something that would be done similar to what Hitler did to the Jews. I bet that you're going to eradicate every youkai and mystical being that is found within the lands, and if they got some worth, you'll make them beat themselves into the ground, or be your official's fuck-toys. And then, we have the humans that sympathised with the youkai. 'Oh, we shouldn't have humans who would associate with such monsters', 'we cannot risk a revolution against us about this', 'all threats must be stopped'. You'll kill them as well, or even send them to suffer with their youkai friends, just because they care about them. And then there's the worse, something that only the true monsters like you would do, that I will not speak for the sake of 'all of us'. That's what you plan on doing…"
Richard then tilted his head back, as his eyes showed cold rage.
"….Isn't that right, you band of backstabbing political shits?" Richard spat out with the same fury in his eyes, spitting each word out like a missile. "If not, do please 'enlighten' all of us about what you plan to do with us."
"Richard, that's enough-" Reimu turned to Richard and was about to stand up, before she was stopped by Yukari lifting a hand up.
"Don't, Reimu." Yukari warned her. "You know exactly why this is happening. There is a reason why Richard is standing here right now, before the human leaders. You just need to think carefully."
Reimu sat back down, with an unsatisfied expression, and having her arms crossed, while the other Gensokyo leaders looked at Richard, as Remilia only looked away from Richard with a suspecting look in her eyes towards him. Yuyuko merely sighed deeply, before she gave Richard a sympathetic glare, while Kaguya merely rubbed the center of her forehead with her two fingers, annoyed at how this argument is going. Kanako merely smiled evilly when she saw how stunned the Outside Leaders were after Richard's words.
"What's the matter, cat got your damn tongues?" Richard taunted the Outside World leaders. "Or did my little theory hit the right idea in the bulls-eye? You humans were always a snivelling bunch of cowards and liars. The only good thing about humans that they were much better when they were in the past. When human rights have improved, their rights towards other species have decreased. To be honest, I expected better from a bunch of morons like you lot. If I were to any of you, I'd accept the peace deal without question. The peace had no conditions, it's just 'stay the hell away from our country and home'. Is that too much to fucking comprehend and think about for you all!? It's not like we're prepared for war, and out of all of you, Gong Chengming actually has the intuition to know that we have better to do than to push this stupid talk around with sugar-coated lies. After all, you'd kill anything if it would guarantee your survival 100%, no matter the cost, no matter the CONSEQUENCES."
"Listen here, 'chap'." Williams spoke in a scolding tone. "We are not here to stand by here to listen to you insult us, as if we deserve such things. I understand that you have vehement hate towards us, as those eyes of yours tell us. We have come so far to bring the world under a united order, and still preserve the freedom of the people everywhere. We are not the kind of people who would create genocides just for our own sakes. If we were to eradicate your country, we'd have proof beyond doubt that it must happen. Even if there are devastating consequences, the safety of your race comes first, as well as our peace."
"Pull the other one." Richard spoke back. "You can sweet-talk all you want, but it does not change a single thing about the fact that you would never make a solid deal with anyone that isn't human, even by the slightest. All you people care about at best is the safety of your own people. Even if you were to sacrifice anything, you'd only do it to protect your own race. Anything and any other race is not worth a single thought to you. They are all but fodder to you.
Kanako only chuckles lightly at this. "Now that is one thing that I could agree on." She replied.
"Excuse me!?" Williams replied.
"Oh, spare me the theatrics, Arthur Williams." Kanako mocked him, with a grin. "You think that there is such things as true peace and true equality. That can never happen, because it's because you humans are in never-ending conflict with each other, no matter what you do, or what you proceed as. After all… It's because of your so-called 'order' that Sanae had to suffer. Your so-called hierarchy has left her hated by everyone, and only us gods to accompany her miserable and despairful life. And that is something I will not stand for, just like you do not accept terrorists." Her smile dropped into a frown.
Williams only gritted his teeth at hearing how Kanako spoke, before sitting down.
"Now that this little rant from my friend is done, we can finally proceed to more important matters." Yukari spoke in a stoic tone. "Does anyone has anything to say-"
"I do." LT replied as he stood up. "And it's directed at that boy over there."
Richard soon whipped his head to face LT, as he growled. "Something you like to add, Mr Prodigy and Special Kid LT?" Richard demanded in a very impatient tone. "You want to insult me or prove me wrong, go ahead. I ain't going to stop you. After all, this is a 'free' world, after all, no?"
"First of you, here's something I'd like to you to take quite seriously: Fuck you." LT replied, in a very aggressive tone. "You don't get to decide how much crime and sin we have committed. And second of all, you youkai are the threat here. In fact, you all are lucky that the media presses haven't caught wind of the deaths that your youkai have caused, otherwise I would have all the reason to have all of us shove nuclear warheads into your little 'magical kingdom'. And two, don't point out humanity's faults as if you're one of us."
"Oh? And is that all you have to say, bastard?" Richard chided back, before he pointed at himself with his middle-finger, at the same time flipping off LT. "Well, news-flash, idiot. You're talking to a human. I'm human, not 100% pure but sure the damn close enough to remain as one. And there is another here who is one as well, Reimu Hakurei, the very girl in red ribbons who was trying to get me to shut my trap up."
"Like I give two shits about what you are. Human or not, you don't fucking berate the entire world of humans as piles of shit. In fact, we're a race that has spent eons evolving to our environment, something that only one or two races could achieve. Maybe you're a third race, but I doubt it, considering that you use your damn magic as a crutch." LT bitingly continued his rant. "And two, we are not heartless murderers. No, that title goes to you. Sure, we as a union of governments claim responsibility of the loss of millions, if not billions, of innocent lives, but we have used them not as stepping stones, but as motivations to bring our world forward, in order to prevent such deaths from happening again. I will not stand to let you disrespect those who have died for a better world."
"HAH! That's a goddamn laugh." Richard spat back, as he crossed his arms. "And you know what, you think you know the truth about everything, but you don't. In fact, do you know why I fucking hate you bastards, and most humans? It's because the last instance of humanity I met were a bunch of spineless and selfish shits. And do you know what they did to the entire universe? They fucked it. And just for the reason that they could live a little longer, so that they can enjoy being kings over their little playground planet for a little longer, before the inevitable happens. They sold out what remained of their good qualities to hell, and killed anyone who would have a chace of redeeming this race. And the ones who lead them were utterly stupid, especially when they whored themselves to a bunch of Moon-Bitches, and sucked their c-"
Suddenly LT stood up on the table in a split-second, causing the rest of the Outside World leaders to back off, as he then roared, charging at Richard, and jump-tackling him down to the ground, as those beside Richard moved far away.
LT then swung fist after fist onto Richard's face, as the sound of bone cracking could be heard, and Richard's face was beginning to bruise with each punch, as well as his nose and mouth beginning to pool blood from the fractures.
"GO TO HELL! I DARE YOU TO SAY ONE MORE THING ABOUT HUMANS BEING SELFISH BASTARDS!" LT yelled with pure rage. "YOU ARE THE ONES WHO WILL RUIN THE WORLD!"
Before LT could slam a final punch to send Richard into a coma, Richard only gritted his teeth and pulled back a straight that hit LT in the centre of his chest with a resounding crack, causing the military leader to gasp in pain, clutching the area, while being knocked onto the table, sending it sliding onto a wall.
Richard then stood up, before slamming punch after punch at LT's face and body at a speed that is considered to be that of a machine-gun, as there was the sound of flesh being pounded raw from his punches, and his knuckles turning purple from the blood pooling from the pressure.
"DON'T FUCKING PLAY WITH ME! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU FUTURISTIC HUMAN LEADERS ARE SCUM TO THE VERY CORE! ALL YOU FUCKING TRASH CARE ABOUT IT THICKENING YOUR OWN WALLETS, OR FAPPING TO THE PLEASURE OF WATCHING INNOCENTS AND OTHER PEOPLE DIE AND SUFFER! YOU ALL DESERVE TO BE FUCKING PURGED ALONG WITH EVERY SINGLE BASTARD IN YOUR RACE!" Richard cried with utter hostility. "DIE DIE DIE DIE!"
The other leaders were surprised by the brawl that was occurring before them, as LT managed to shove off Richard, as the two of them exchanged blows at each other, not yielding to each other, even though their heads and theirs bodies were becoming more and more battered. Yukari however was turning her head, as she then opened a sukima, as Reimu's own oni companion, Suika appeared, as she then pulled Richard down with a double arm-lock, as LT was dragged back by Tasnil and Chengming, who are holding either arm back. Richard was frantically trying to escape the grasp made on him, as his arms and legs were flaunting very fast, like he was a slippery fish in a net, and LT was breathing heavily, giving Richard a hateful look, while trying to shrug off the two leaders holding him down.
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO! I'LL KILL THIS BASTARD! I SWEAR TO GOD! HE'S ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF THE REASON WHY MOST HUMANS ARE MORALESS CRIMINALS!" Richard screamed with rage. "IF YOU DON'T LET ME GO, SUIKA, I'LL TEAR YOUR ARMS OFF IF IT'S GET THE LETHAL PUNCH!"
"Calm down, Richard! You're losing it already!" Suika replied, trying to keep Richard restrained. "Just calm down, will you!? You can't win against my grip. There's a reason why I'm a Deva. I'm not to be toyed with here. So just stop trying to fight."
"NO! I WON'T LET THIS BASTARD GO! GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF!"
"Sorry, Richard, but you made me have to do this to you."
Suika then took her right arm off Richard's right arm, and before Richard could back-hand her with his fist, she slammed an open hand into the centre right area of his neck, causing him to cough some more blood and air, before then falling limp in his grip, unable to breathe, before she then laid him on the ground, as Richard was only barely breathing. Meanwhile, Gong Chengming used an enhanced nerve-pinch to cause LT to fall to the ground unconscious.
Yuyuko only had her hands on her mouth in shock over the events, as Kaguya only muttered something under her breath, while Remilia only snorted dismissingly, and Yukari then stepped forward.
"Well, I do believe that an apology is in order. I do admit that I have brought here in order to help give you a humane perspective of the people in Gensokyo, the actual humans that live here, with Reimu as back-up just in case he's in refusal to do such things." Yukari apologized in a sincere tone. "But I have never intended for such things to happen, for Richard to show his true hate towards most kinds of humans. He doesn't usually end up like this, and even though his mind surpasses his body in age, he still has a radical perspective of things, which led to the reason why he broke into rants. I do hope Reimu will give you a much better reasoning about humans."
"So you do have humans as well then, and you seem like that you wanted to protect them as well. No wonder that boy spoke about other humans that are friendly to your native youkai species." Williams replied, having softened a little hearing about the truth. "I do believe I should apologise on the behalf of the global leaders here, but only because they're too spooked and stunned to say anything more to this…. Event here. LT too does have an advanced mind, which made him a fairly powerful and potent tactician and general on our side, but he's also one of the people who wanted to simply eradicate you. Maybe it's because these two people, who so deeply resent the factions of each other that led to this sad state of affairs. We accept you apology, and this meeting will procced as usual, with the two instigators removed."
"Allow me." Yukari offered, as she then snapped her fingers, as Richard's body fell through a sukima that sent him back to his home. "That is my friend done. What about yours?"
"LT will be escorted later. He will not awake for a long period of time, even after this meeting. Gong Chengming's nerve pinch techniques are only enhanced by the bio-tech he contains, and so you won't have to worry about this chap waking up and ranting up another storm." Williams replied.
Meanwhile, Suika brought the table back, before she then waved off at the Gensokyo leaders, and smiling at Reimu sadly, before entering through the sukima she came from, as it closed off, while the leaders returned to their seats, minus one member each.
"Now then… Let us proceed." Yukari replied, as she placed one of her fans on the table.
A/N: And thus the prologue to this story has come to an end. Be on the lookout for any cameos, references and shout-outs that may come, since I will be adopting LT's method of having a lot of references. And do note that this story will be much different from the original series, Gensou Blitzkrieg, due to it being a revamp, and a cross-over with Multiversal Chaos in-universe, but most of the events and the general plot remains the same.
