This is the connection of SW with other universe created by me: Military High School. And before someone say ,,What's interesting is in Military High Schools?", let me explain. Those Military High Schools are not like those from real life. MHS universe Military High Schools are special schools, placed on giant version of Modern Era aircraft carriers (idea borrowed from ,,Girls und Panzers") or on huge areas on land in case of inland nations. Every Military High School work a little like regular army. It means: in such schools rank is important (only teachers, school workers and headmaster don't use ranks), schools have a real military equipment in it's arsenal and students took part in foreign missions of their country (except of First Year students, only students from years 2 to 4 took part in them, but when the country is attacked, every student, no matter on which year he is, must fight).

Atlantic Ocean, Polish Army High School carrier ORP Cracow, Room 1321
The room was no different from the others rooms in the school. It was a square room, with some shelfs on the walls. On every shelf was something: photos, books such as ,,Jurassic Park", ,,Awaking Leviathan Part 2", ,,Caliban War", DVD's and other such things. In one of the wall there was a built-in wardrobe and there was a desk under the window with a computer, books for different lessons and a lamp. However, there was a backpack under the desk. On the wall opposite the bed hung a board with received medals and TV with a DVD player on the dresser.
A young boy with short black hair and blue eyes was laying at the bed. He was dressed in blue T-Shirt and dark blue shorts. He didn't heard that someone is approaching his bed until…
"GOOD MORNING!"shouted a young female voice.
The boy jumped up and before he knew, he landed on the floor. When he looked at the voice owner, he saw a laughing girl with Asian face features. She has black hair tied in a bun, green eyes and she was dressed in purple nightdress with a red heart in the middle.
"Hisako. I could guess that"the boy said.
"Sorry. Really sorry, Krystian. But…"she couldn't stop laughing"but I it was more powerful than me".
"No, it's nothing"Krystian said."But don't do it again".
"Okay. I'll never do it again. Maybe".
And they both laughed. When they stopped, Krystian asked:
"Besides. Why are you waking me up?"
"You know. I just wanted to remind you that today, before the lessons, is the special briefing. I don't wanted you to oversleep".
"Okay. Give me few seconds. I need to change".
"Sure. I'll go change too".
And she left the room. Meanwhile, Krystian came up to the wardrobe and opened it. He took a Polish gala uniform and dressed it. Next, he pulled a dark green beret with navy blue rim, symbolizing that the soldier belong to Mechanized Troops unit.
"It's good that we don't have to wear those berets mandatory"he though putting the beret in his backpack between some books.
When he went out into the corridor, he saw Hisako already waiting for him. She dissolved her hair, except of the one ponytail on the left side of her head. She was wearing the female version of Polish gala uniform, and a beret with dark red rim.
This color of rim in Polish Army belonged to Field Medics and soldiers of medical units.
"You're ready?"Hisako asked.
"Let's see"Krystian said and opened the backpack."Wipes, books, beret and phone. Yes, I have everything. We can go".
As they were going towards their unit briefing room, Hisako said:
"Oh and one more thing. The Weather Team guys says, that there will be storm in the morning".
"He, he. Hisako. You know guys from the Weather Team. They almost always makes mistakes with weather report. I bet there will be no storm"Krystian downplayed.
"Eh. Maybe you're right"she sighted.
And they both go for the briefing.

Over the Adriatic Sea
The silence over the Sea was interrupted by the gunshots, as the 501st Joint Fighter Wing was engaging the Super-Heavy Type Neuroi. The battle was coming to an end, and Neuroi had evidently quite enough.
"Mio, where's the core?!"Minna asked her 2IC.
Mio took off her eye patch and started to looking for the core.
"It's on it's nose!"Mio replied.
"Alright! Shirley and Eila! Distract the Neuroi attention! Sanya! You will expose the core! Barkhorn and Hartmann! You will blow it up!"Minna ordered.
"Yes, Minna!"Witches replied.
And they started to do the plan. Shirley and Eila started to focusing Neuroi attention at them, next, Sanya fired a salvo of rockets and exposed the core. And, at the grand finale, Barkhorn and Hartmann flew towards the core, and after a few series, the Neuroi changed into thousands of white crystals. Witches grouped around Minna
"Good job, girls"Minna said."Now, return to…"
But she was cut off by Eila:
"Watch out!"
Suddenly, Witches were blinded by a blue light.
"What the…"Mio tried to say, but before it, Witches were absorbed by light.
Later…
Witches started to getting back the eyesight after the blue light. When they looked around, they stated that they are over the ocean.
"Great! First, the strange blue light, and now, we are in the middle of the ocean! What is going on here?!"Perrine shouted.
"Perrine-san, calm down. I'm sure we can explain what just happened"Yoshika said.
Perrine only looked at her and said:
"Calm?! How could I be calm?! We don't even know, where exactly we are!"
"Perrine, calm down right now!"Mio shouted.
"But Major…!"Perrine tried to say.
"No ,,but"! First, we have to find out where we are. Next…"
"Hey. Better look at this"Lynette said.
When everyone looked in the direction she pointed, they became speechless. In the distance, they could saw nine giant ships swimming in their direction. They looked like warships, but they were bigger than any other they saw. They also had something like mountains, fields, and even a little villages on their left sides.
"Wow…"Shirley said in awe.
"They're bigger than even than Shinano!"Yoshika exclaimed.
"They're even bigger than Yamato, Bismarck and Hood connected together!"Barkhorn stated.
Mio looked at Minna.
"They didn't look like a Neuroi"the Fusoan Witch said.
"Yeah. They are definitely human-made"she replied.
"So, what we do?"
Minna though for a moment. Finally she said:
"We'll try to contact them. Mio, Lucchini, Eila, Lynette, Barkhorn and Erica. You'll do it. We will enter the action if something's bad happens. They don't look hostile, but have your weapons ready just in case".
"Yes, sir!"Mio saluted and together with three Witches flew towards the ships.
08:05
ORP Cracow main deck park
Krystian and Hisako were just after the first lesson of the day. They were accompanied by a tall boy with brown hair and brown eyes.
"Oh God, I though that this lesson will never ends. I hate math"Krystian sighted.
"Oh, come on! This exam was not that bad"Hisako tried to comfort her friend.
Just then, they passed a group of First Years.
"First Years. That was times"Krystian said.
"Yeah. You remember that times, Adrian?"Hisako asked the boy who accompanied them.
"How could I forget? I was then on the Second Year, and I always had to taking care of you"Adrian replied with his high voice bass.
"And one more thing, Hisako. I told that there will not be any storm"Krystian said with satisfaction.
"Yeah, you were right".
Just then, all speakers started to spoke:
"Attention! Unidentified objects are approaching the ship! Man your battle stations!"
"Finally something's happening."Krystian started to rub his hands."Okay, there's the plan. Adrian. You go with me to the armory. We'll take our equipment just in case. Hisako. You'll take those First Years from here. After that, you'll join us. Understood?"
"Understood!"they both replied saluting.
Krystian and Adrian quickly ran to the armory. Hisako approached the frightened group of First Years.
"Okay, come with me. There's no safe"she said calmly.
"Are those people…flying?"one of the First Years asked.
"What are you talking about?"Hisako looked puzzeled.
Everyone looked upwards at the strange sight, indeed there were 6 humanoid figures flying towards them. This put them on edge and First years whimpered in fear. Hisako shot the look of everything is going to be alright but as that happened, she was hit by a massive air blast. There in front of her was an imposing figure of an individual that was floating of the ground. Hisako scanned upwards and saw the Imperial Japanese Navy officer's uniform and then was greeted by the face of girl! She had an eye patch on her right eye and to Hisako's dismay was not seen wearing any pants. Behind her was 5 other girls that were using the same devices to make float over the ground and they were all carrying heavy weapons.
"Who are you?"Hisako croacked.
The woman gave a strange look.
"We were about to ask the same"the one eyed woman responded.
Hisako was amazed by the fact that she understood what the woman said until all of sudden…
"FREEZE!"
Krystian and Adrian already back from armory dressed in their combat uniforms and with their Grot riffles drawn. The group of 6 did the same with their weapons. Krystian looked at Hisako.
"Hisako, are you alright? They didn't hurt you?"he asked with care in voice.
The girl only nodded. Krystian voice again changed into the heavy military tone:
"WHO ARE YOU?! DROP YOUR WEAPONS!"
"I WOULD SAY THE SAME TO YOU!"the one eyed woman barked.
"IF YOU ARE SOME SORT OF CHINESE EXPERIMENT, I HAVE A RIGHTS TO SHOOT YOU!"Adrian shouted.
Hisako and the First years group were in a new state of fear. Right a moment ago they enjoyed a peaceful day in the school, and now that day have to be replaced with the wrath of bullets?
"WHAT YEAR IS IT?! WHERE ARE WE?! REPLY! YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS!"the woman yelled.
"IT'S JUNE 11, 2022 AND YOU'RE ON-BOARD OF SCHOOL CARRIER OF POLISH ARMY HIGH SCHOOL!"
The woman scoffed and repeated:
"I WILL ASK YOU AGAIN, WHO ARE YOU?! WHERE ARE WE?! DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH US OR ELSE!"then, the woman looked at Hisako and First Years."BESIDES, YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN SHOOT US IN FRONT OF THEM?!"
Krystian started counting down:
"HISAKO! TAKE THEM OUT OF THERE! ADRIAN! BE READY TO SHOOT IN 10…9…8…!"
"GIRLS! SAFETIES OFF!"
The air were filled with the clicks of weapon deprotection. Hisako and the group watched in fear as the one eyed lady and her comrades shouldered their weapons and pointed them at the boys.
Krystian was still counting:
"5…4…3…2…1…"
"STAND DOWN!"a voice thundered.
The whole looked up to see five more of the strange people as they floats down between the two opposing sides. Then one of them, the one with long red hair, approached the one eyed.
"BLOOD WILL NOT BE SHED TODAY, MIO! YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO OPEN FIRE ON POSSIBLE ALLIES?! WHAT IF THEY WOULD BE ON OUR SIDE?!"the red haired asked.
"MINNA! YOU REALIZED THEY'RE POINTING WEAPONS AT US, I WAS JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELFARE OF THE REST!"
"THEY DON'T KNOW WHO WE ARE SO WE NEED TO APPROACH THIS WITH AN OPEN HAND, SO STAND DOWN AND WAIT FOR FURTHER ORDERS!"
Hisako watched as the 6 slung their weapons on their back and stood on idle. Krystian and Adrian did the same. She watched as this red haired woman in green uniform approach the two boys.
"Who is in command here?"she asked calmly.
"I'm."Hisako looked behind her.
From a Humvee that just stopped next to the event area, got out a young, maybe twenty-year-old, blond haired and gray eyed boy. He was dressed in a uniform with a general rank on his arm coat. As he approached the woman, he glanced at the red haired and gave reassuring smile. Hisako, Krystian and Adrian watched the conversation take place between general and the woman. When they ended, general approached the three.
"General Sobczak! Are you okay?"Krystian asked in concern.
"I'm fine, is everyone else okay?"Sobczak replied.
"We seem to holding out, Sir"Adrian replied.
"Good. Now, captain. Can you give me your radio?"
"Why?"Krystian looked puzzled, but he gave a radio to his commander.
Sobczak set the current frequency and said:
"To all students! It was an false alarm! Return to your classes!"
As the three wanted to go, Sobczak stopped them:
"You three are coming with me to the Conference Room".
"Huh?"Krystian said.
"Trust me, it regards our new guests".
"Oh…okay"Krystian said nervously.
And they headed to the CR.
08:18
ORP Cracow Conference Room
The group proceeded to head to the CR in the ship superstructure. Krystian and Adrian, just in case, still had their weapons. The mysterious guest was with them as well. Once inside Sobczak closed the door behind them and rolled some maps on the table.
"First of all, would we like to introduce ourselves?"general asked.
"You first"the red haired woman asked.
"Sure, I like that anyway. I'm general Janusz Sobczak of the Polish Armed Forces, this is my adjutant, captain Krystian Saltarski and this is his friends: lieutenants Adrian Zapala and Hisako Nikamura".
Witches looked puzzled by boys names.
"I know that our names can be hard to pronounce, but you get used to this, really"Sobczak provided.
"Well then. I'm lieutenant colonel Minna Dietlinde-Wilcke, this is my second in command major Mio Sakamoto, Erica Hartmann, Gertrude Barkhorn, Francesca Lucchini, Charlotte E. Yeager, Perrine H. Clastermann, Lynette Bishop, Sanya V. Litvyak, Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen and Miyafuji Yoshika".
"Excuse me, Miss Nikamura"Yoshika said."Are you Fusoan?"
"No, I'm Japanese."She pointed on map."My parents moved from Japan to Poland in 1999."
Yoshika nodded.
"So, now that we all know each other, let's get to the bottom. Where are we? And what's going on here?"Mio asked.
Sobczak pointed at map.
"We're in the Atlantic Ocean, near the coast of Senegal".
Minna looked puzzled.
"Senegal? I've never heard about such state. Besides, there's Kingdom of Ouedraogo".
This time, general looked puzzled.
"I'm pretty sure there's Senegal, right, captain?"Sobczak looked at Saltarski.
"Yes, with capital in Dakar"he replied. Then, Saltarski's face took an angry look, he hit the map in the place where Senegal is and shouted:"DAMN YOU SENEGAL!"
Girls looked at him with a strange look.
"Forgive me"Saltarski said calmly."It's a kind of trauma that many poles get after the events four years ago".
"And what happened four years ago?"Lucchini asked.
"Maybe I'll tell it"Adrian proposed."Four years ago, at the FIFA World Cup 2018 Poland was playing first match with Senegal. They smashed us 2:1".
"At least you scored one goal"Eila said.
"Yeah. But later we lose the Match for Everything and we get home"he added.
Just then, Mio reminded something.
"Minna. That strange blue light".
"Right"Minna replied.
"What is she talking about?"Sobczak asked.
"I have some theory. You know the Multiverse Theory?"
"Yes. And I personally believe in it"Krystian replied.
"Could you give me some example of nations on every continents? I want to make sure if my theory is right"Minna asked.
"Of course. Captain."And Sobczak gave the map to him.
"Alright."Saltarski started to counting."In Europe we have: France, Germany, United Kingdom, Poland, Spain, Catalonia, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and Serbia. In Africa: Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Congo, DR Congo, Angola and South Africa. In Asia: China, North and South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Japan, Mongolia and Afghanistan. In North America: USA, Canada, Mexico and Cuba. In South America: Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina. And this is only 40 of world 205 nations".
"205 nations?!"surprised Shirley yelled.
"Yeah. But ten of then, it means Kosovo, Abkhazia, Northern Cyprus, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, Palestine, Somaliland, Western Sahara, South Ossetia and Taiwan are unrecognized, and official there's only 195 countries"he added.
Witches couldn't believe that there are so many states. With their 64 nations, it was a crushing advantage.
"So my theory is right. We're in another world"Minna said with the Witches wondered faces.
"Wow. So the Multiverse Theory is real"Krystian said with smile.
"By the way, you Japan is look a little like Fuso"Mio said.
"And Argentina and Germany looks a little like Neue Karlsland and Karlsland"Barkhorn added.
"Guessing. Nations in your world"Adrian asked.
Two girls nodded.
"Well, at least cities are the same"Perrine noticed.
"I see what you mean, uh…Col. Wilcke, mind if I ask how old you and your girls are?"Sobczak asked.
"I wouldn't see why not. I'm 19, Mio is 20, Erica is 17, Barkhorn is 19, Lucchini is 13, Lynette is 16, Miyafuji is 15, Sanya is 15, Eila is 17, Perrine is 16 and Shirley is 17".
Minna noticed that four soldiers has winded eyes until general responded:
"Wow. I though that only Military High Schools students are the youngest persons welding weapons legally".
"What's with this ranks and the guns? Are you part of the army or something?"Hisako asked.
"We are in fact. We are the 501st Joint Fighter Wing ,,Strike Witches".
"Why the ,,Strike Witches"?"Krystian inquired.
"Because we're Witches".
"Huh? You mean the ones flying on brooms?"Adrian asked.
"We used to use brooms, but now we use Striker Units, those are the things we came here on"Minna explained.
Sobczak pondered more.
"Flying, young ages. What else can you do?"Saltarski asked.
Lynette stepped forward.
"We can use our familiars to use our magic".
"Could you give me and example?"
"SURE, I'LL DO IT!"
Miyafuji stepped forwards and all of sudden the room reflected in blue hue, as four soldiers looked on in awe. Shiba-inu ears sprouted from her head and tail appeared on her lower backs and she looked towards general.
"See? We can use magic to manifest theseee…OWW! OWW! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Hisako was pulling at Miyafuji's animal ears, fiddling with them much to the protest of young Witch.
"Let go! They're sensitive, you know?"
"Sorry, force of habit."And girl let go Miyafuji ears.
"Our magic is the best weapon against the Neuroi"Mio added.
"Neuroi?"
General and three soldiers looked confused at the strange term.
"I forgot to mention that in our world we are at war with an alien race that invaded Earth in 1939 and taken much of world"Minna explained."Now it's 1945, and war is coming to an end".
"Okay, thank you for your time. You can go, and do something on ship"Sobczak said.
"And what can we do?"Erica asked.
"You can go to our board sauna, bath house, bar or other things. You can even visit some other ship decks. Or you can go on the training ground, and see how our weapons looks like. But take this."Sobczak took some cards and gave them to the Witches"This is General Permission Card. It allows you to enter almost everywhere. If guards don't want to let you in, show them this".
"Okay, thank you general"Barkhorn said.
Witches were ready to left the room, but general stopped them.
"But, please"he said calmly."Don't damage the ship. We bought him about 50 years ago, and modernization to modern standards cost us 89% of school budget. We don't want something to happen".
"Sure. We don't damage anything, you have my word"Minna provided.
Minna and her group left the room and went back outside. Krystian approached Sobczak with a worried expression.
"Did she said that they are at war with aliens?"the young captain asked.
"Yes, she did"Sobczak replied.
"So, what we do now?"Adrian asked.
"Yeah, we must tell others about them"Hisako added.
"Knowing the rumors speed in our school, probably everyone know about them"Krystian said nodding his head.
Janusz though for a moment.
"Okay, we'll do it like that"he finally said."First. If really everyone already know about them, I'll contact with headmaster Kruszyński. I'll tell him to issue a message about them, and tell others that those girls are not dangerous. Meanwhile, you captain, contact with general adjutants from other schools and tell them to be on our ship in next 4 hours".
"Yessir!"Saltarski saluted.
And they also left the room.

And the first chapter is done. I wanted to say, that this is alternate Timeline of our world, because here, Military High School exist since World War 1 times (first of them was British Army High School). And, yeah. Catalonia is independent here. But only because it's alternate Timeline. Here, when Catalonia in 2017 called for independence, the nations of Europe stood on their side, no on the side of Spain as in real life. And if you want to know ho exactly Hisako's hairstyle look, look at Hotaru from ,,Netsuzou Trap".
When I explained some things, we'll see in the next chapter!
Blanca: Bye!
Blanca, it's not time! You and Catalan Army will appear later!
Blanca: Oh, sorry. (runs out of the room and closing the door)
Eh. See ya later.
