Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I don't own Strike Witches or any other references in this story, I only own my OC.
It was a bright and beautiful sunny day of the coast of Dover in Britannia as Train Teatrino flew over the countryside in has custom P38D – Lightning. Train was a tall man at 6' 3" and had black hair with red streaks in it. He had golden eyes that seem to glow in the right light. He wore a black sleeveless shirt with a six-sided star in the middle that had the points colored for different elements. Going clockwise from the top the colors go, yellow, dark blue, brown, red, green, and light blue, the colors had the kanji for the corresponding element in the center of the points. In the center of the star was the kanji for "bloody Inferno". He also wore black cargo pants with a loop on the side to allow him to carry his ninjato. And finally he wore black shoes with red laces.
The plane was painted a blood red, had the P40 shark eyes and mouth on the nose that had golden red flames trailing from the smile it had. It was also modified to have twin Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, and an extra seat in the cockpit for a passenger, though most of the time the seat was filled with crap he picked up on his travels.
The plane was also modified offensively and defensively, for offense each wing had three 20mm auto – cannons in them, mounted under the wings there were 50mm auto – cannons, and in the nose right where the mouth opens is a 95mm high – velocity cannon used for long range targets. For defense the plane was made of a high strength aluminum/titanium alloy that is tough and lightweight making up for the weight of the guns to increase mobility and speed. The cockpit is layered in think steel to protect Train and any passenger he might have in the future.
As train was flying he looks at the gas gauge and finds out he is almost out of fuel and knows he won't make it home.
He calls out on the radio. "This is Q – Alpha – niner calling out to any nearby airfield. Requesting permission for emergency landing, low on fuel."
"This is Dover airbase you are flying in restricted airspace what is your name and state you intent Q – Alpha – Niner" replied a voice over the radio.
"The name's Train Teatrino Dover airbase and my intent is for an emergency landing to refuel. I'm a pilot for the Liberion air force, what is your name and rank."
"I am Wing Commander Minna of the 501st joint fighter wing. You are cleared to land for refueling. What was your rank if I might ask?"
"I'll tell you everything about me when I land ma'am over and out"
After he cut communications he flew over to Dover airbase to land which was hard considering the landing strip was setup for striker units not actual planes.
When he landed safely, he was greeted by the 501st joint fighter wing, the "Strike Witches". Commander Minna made her way over to him and asked him "Hello and welcome to Dover Airbase Train. Now are you going to tell us your rank and profile?"
"Sure thing" he said. "My name is Train Teatrino. I am of Fuso and Romangian descent but was born in liberion. I'm a first lieutenant in the Liberion air force and currently on leave. I have been giving 2 distinguished flying crosses, a silver star, a gold star with oak cluster, and a purple heart for injuries sustained during a mission to destroy a neuroi, after said mission I was given the nickname "the Bloody Inferno" due to when I returned to base my friends on the ground saw that my plane was on fire, when I Got out of the burning wreak they saw I had taken a laser beam to the stomach and almost died. My kill record for neuroi is 13 and counting."
The 501st were stunned that they got to meet the only man to take down multiple neuroi and survive. When they asked to take a look at his aircraft he gave them a nod.
They looked over the plane and asked if it was the plane he got the nickname in. he said. "No, unfortunately that plane was damaged beyond repair so It was scraped but I did save a piece of the plane." He went into the cockpit and pulled out his old name plate that used to be on his old P40C Warhawk. "This is the only piece left of my old plane." He said with a hint of sorrow.
They continued to look at the plane then they noticed something. "Hey, where are the propellers at?" asked a small brunette in a sailor suit.
"Oh…" said train "I forgot to tell you, but you have to keep this a secret. I don't want any attention drawn to me because I hate too much attention especially from those big dudes in the war department. Can you keep what I'm about to tell you a secret? Please?"
They gave him an affirmative nod so he did something they did not expect. "Wait a minute. You can use magic like us!?" said a small girl with pigtails and a cat like grin.
"Yep, but if you look closely you can see how I'm different." He said.
Minna looked him over and her eyes widened. He has horse ears and a tail but he also has a horn in the middle of his head just like…
"A Unicorn?! But I thought they were only a myth." Said a blackette with an eye-patch and a sword at her side.
"Apparently they aren't a myth." said a well-endowed girl with red hair.
"The reason I can use magic is because my father and mother came from a family that had witches in them. My mother was also a witch." said Train. "Please keep it a secret; I don't want the higher ups ordering me to go to the research department to be experimented on."
They all gave him a nod meaning that they will keep it a secret.
"Well now that we know all about you how about we introduce ourselves" said Minna.
"I am Major Sakamoto Mio, a pleasure to meet you".
"Hi, I'm Sergeant Miyafuji Yoshika, nice to meet you".
"Hello, my name is Lynnette Bishop and I'm a Sergeant too." She said in a small voice.
"(yawn) my name is Sanya Litvyak." She said in a sleepy tone. Nearly falling asleep standing
"My name is Charlotte Yeager, and I'm the fastest flyer." She said with pride.
"Hello, my name is Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen. Just call me Eila for short."
"Hi there! I'm Francesca Lucchini!" she said as she tackled Train giving him a bear hug, which he returned and said hi back.
"Hello there, I'm flying officer Perrine Henriette Clostermann. But just call me Perrine commoner." She said in a snide tone that kind of pissed him off a little.
"How's it going, my name is Erica Hartmann" she said in a lazy attitude.
"Good afternoon, I am flight lieutenant Gertrud Barkhorn." She said with a salute which he returned.
"it is a pleasure to meet you all, please take care of me" Train said as he made his way over to his plane to check on something.
