Another story out... and the olders are waiting for me to update. Have to put it out to entertain myself and you readers. And to keep VC alive. Really like the stories and the game's systems, despite not my usual genres.
I would like to say more, but it would ruin the fun. So enjoy to your heart content.
A bit of spoiler first: VC chars will use their weapons, but the others will mostly use weapons from Call Of Duty, especially the ones from MW series.
"You want whom to WHAT?" A certain black hair girl screames in surprise.
"You didn't hear me wrong. I want your younger sister to join me in this fight, and this time no one will interfere."
"Hey! I thought you said you won't..." A brick falls right on the purple's head. "Ouch!"
"No, it's not like you thought. I was planning to call your older self, but her characters won't fit the place."
"But, based on what you said about that world... I'm worried about her safety..." The green girl shows her worry towards the black hair junior, followed by her own one.
"Don't worry. The thing I'm more worried is to keep her around and not being kidnapped. I'm sure she won't be killed as long as I'm still be able to talk to her."
"Like I could be caught that easily! I'm not as loud as any of you!"
"Um... I think Rom is the quietest one here..." Her 'girlfriend' softly protests.
"Urgh, you know what I mean, Nepgear. Anyway, how much time you have left?"
"Just take what you need. Though, I suggest you to bring a lot of guns, as various as possible."
"Really? Why?"
"We're going to help the military, almost directly all the time. Unlike them who's strong in one or two points, we have our power to be able to carry all the tasks. If something goes wrong, we will head in and fix it."
"So you don't want to show our CPU's power much..."
"I want to keep it until the end, or in dire situations."
"How long will you be there, if she agrees?" The smallest Oracle asks.
"Maybe... I'm not sure. There are political problems that we can't interfere unlike before. And that A-hole makes the matter worse..."
"Don't tell me he's another Trick!" The pink of the twin shouts in disgust.
"Not on that level. But, to make a simple comparison, he's like Cardin in his racism."
"Is there another reason, other than peace, that you want to help them?" A certain princess of the nation asks in suspicion.
"No, why?"
"That country has the same name as my nation."
"That's for being my Earth's parallel. Anyway, I think it's enough for now. Let's start helping that world, shall we?"
Location: The Border town of Bruhl, Gallia
Year: E.C 1935
The Empire's army has crossed the border between its country and Gallia, thus breaking the treaty. Their focus was to invade and make the country under their control, since it has rich Ragnite deposits.
The military in town has only enough ammo and defense to fight back before everyone else could evacuate.
Primary objective: Protect the evacuation
Secondary objective: Pushing the Empire off the town
Assistants: A certain Candidate and a certain Undead
Inside Gunther's house, everyone's startled by the earthshake followed by sounds of explosions. With Isara and Martha safely crouching and avoiding the windows, Alicia and Welkin take a quick peak through them and duck immediately to not be turned into cheese by bullets piercing through fragile glasses. After the barrage, the girl plans to run off, but the boy holds her back. "It's too dangerous out there, and there's not much cover for us to run."
Alicia shouts back: "Then what can you suggest us to do? If we stay here, we all die."
"Actually..." The duo turns to the younger sister. "There's a way for us to get out of here safely."
After following her to the basement and hearing her explanation, they immediately lead the pregnant woman inside Edelweiss and prepare the tank to make it operational. Thanks to Isara's constant maintenance, it doesn't take too much time for the tank to start its engine. Alicia heads in first to take care of Martha, Isara follows and takes the wheel, and after looking at the basement one last time, Welkin jumps in and takes the command seat and closes the tank hatch...
Just in time before the soldiers come in and shoot at the tank. Not wanting to fight now, Welkin sends the order to Isara to drive the tank out of there. There are a few shots hitting the surface of Edelweiss, but other than scratching the paint, it does nothing else to try to kill the people inside. Once they're outside, Isara drives the tank through the road and ignores the foot soldiers shooting at them. Welkin can see the tanks blocking their way, and he asks Alicia to start fixing the main cannon's target. Once it points at the direction he wants which is the dirt ground before them, he is going to press the fire button...
When suddenly two of the tanks blow up, surprising both sides at once. Though, that one moment is enough for Isara to drive pass them with no further resistance, but she does have her own questions about that. While running, Welkin turns the cannon back so he can see what's going on, and he is greeted with a shock moment: before another tank blows up, he manages to see a bomb of some kind dropping straight through the hatch of the tank and dealing the damage. And when the soldiers' confusion hasn't stopped, slowly but surely, one by one gets shot straight in the head. Calculating the shots, he aims at the upper hill to see glimpse of something flashing occasionally. With his knowledge, he could tell that there's someone there using a sniper to shoot the Empire and save them. He is grateful for it, but that also raises questions: who is that person? Why is the person helping? And how did that bomb go so far?
"I know I said I wanted to destroy those tanks, did it have to be that flashy?" *Bang!*
"A little warning to the Empire. They won't know what could hit them." *Bang!*
"Still. Do you think they should have noticed us now?" *Bang!*
"Welkin noticed us, so I think..."
"THERE ARE SNIPERS ON TOP OF THE HILL!"
"Well, they found us. Let's go before they turn us into mince."
After running for a while, they reach the outskirts of the town, where some of the town watchers are covering the ground. They stop in front of one of the houses and Isara helps bringing Martha inside. Then, Alicia and Welkin explain the current situation, as the watchers also tell what happened in the town.
Then Welkin asks one of the watchers: "Did any of you fire a cannon before?"
The chief shakes his head. "We don't even have one. Why did you ask?"
He doesn't answer immediately as he asks Alicia: "Do you remember the tanks being blown up?"
Alicia: "I did. That was surprised though, what could have destroyed them like that?"
Welkin explains what he saw: "Before the third tank was blown, I saw a bomb or so dropping on its thread. Then, the soldiers got sniped down, causing more troubles to them. I did see a glimpse of the scope when I looked at the top of the hill, but I couldn't see who was there."
That raises a conversation between them about that person. But, guesses are just that. Alicia asks: "How many more are in the town?"
The chief answers: "Only a very few. But the Empire has pushed very far into the town..."
"Then we could use Edelweiss to make the job easier." Isara walks back to the group after making sure Martha is safe. "It's better in every aspect compared to the Empire ones."
The chief considers the suggestion... then he says: "That's our chance to save the rest. But... none of us can drive tanks, except you maybe..."
Isara nods, understanding what he said. "It will be fine. I have gone through that during the training."
The chief exhales in relief. "Sorry to put you into troubles..."
Alicia smiles and assures him: "We will be fine sir." She then turns to Welkin. "So, what do you say, the Son of Hero?"
Welkin scratches his head and asks something that makes Alicia dumbfounded: "Well... when should we retreat?"
The chief answers for her: "When everyone is out of the town. We don't much time left, so move on!"
"I should have seen that coming when I agreed to follow you."
"Well, to be fair, I followed your orders this time."
"*Sigh* Partly my fault when not explaining properly. So what now?"
"KILL BOTH OF THEM!"
"Ehm... your pick? You're in command, remember?"
10 minutes later
"Sir! All gates are being locked down! But those two have escaped! And the tank's nowhere to be found!"
The head commander *tsk!* in annoyance. Not once in his life would he find himself in such ridiculous situation. When that odd tank appeared, he already knew he's not going to hit it. But then, two of his tanks blew up for some reasons, and that thing took the moment to run pass them. A second later the last tank was gone, and then his soldiers were shot down one by one. After taking cover, one of his men spotted the ones who caused the troubles, and he immediately sent a few of his troops to take them down. But, those two got even a faster traveller with only TWO WHEELS, as one of them drove it and the other shot them down with her strange gun. After they lost sight, the commander ordered some others to track them down, while he himself entered the town.
After remembering them, the head commander orders his soldiers: "We will deal with them when they come. For now, let's head into their Headquarter! All troops, advance!"
"That's our chance." Alicia tells Isara, when all three (including Welkin) see the enemies. Isara steps on the pad and makes Edelweiss run towards the enemies, as Welkin shoots at the rear of a tank, stopping it from running anywhere else.
The commander of the Empire smirks as he shouts the order: "All tanks, shoot down that tank!" The smirk is there when one of his tanks shoots to Edelweiss, but it vanishes when the cannonball just deflects off the surface and crashes into a building. Not giving up, he shouts the orders again, and every unit in his command starts heading to the tank and shooting it. But what happens shocks him: The enemy tank is so agile that it dodges all the cannon shots, and once it fires, either the tanks are gone, or his soldiers are dead in the blast.
"What kind of monster is this..." He says his thinking out loud.
"Something you will remember before you die." He immediately turns back to see who just said it, only to feel a sharp pain in his stomach. Gasping in pain and looking down, he sees a blade stabbing through is abdomen, blood running out of the wounds. With fear in his eyes, he looks up to see the person's face, and the fear increases when he sees a Darcsens face with a terrified smile on his face. His legs weaken, as he grabs the person's shoulder to hold himself up, but the 'Darcsens'just forcefully pulls the blade and pushes him to the ground. Before he leaves the living world, through his eyes, the commander sees the person's strange outfit, then the bullets shoot at him and he just deflects them like it is nothing. Then that 'Darcsens' rushes towards, and when he turns his head, he sees his men being cut down brutally, while some of them get hit by bullets from somewhere... then, the world turns dark...
"That... is not a dream right?" Alicia asks loudly, stunned by what happened before them.
While they're fighting against the Empire's units, Isara catches a glimpse of a person slowly walks behind the commander. The commander turns around, and he just gets stabbed through the stomach and pushed down to the ground. Nearby soldiers notice it, turn back and shoot the mysterious killer. What surprises them is when the person just swings the sword around and cuts any bullets that come to him, then he runs directly towards the enemies and cuts them in half. Even adding to the shock, that person seems to have a very bug tube behind his back and a long gun hanging on his left shoulder, and yet his movements show no mistakes.
Because of the confusion, the Empire tanks temporarily turn their cannons to the person, causing Welkin to quickly take them down before it could shoot at the person. He manages to destroy two of them, before the third one successfully shoots. Another interruption occurs, when something flies past through the shot midair, blowing it up before it could reach the intended target. With a quick look, Welkin finds out the same flashing from the Sister Mills, which makes him be dumbfounded as the distance is too unreal to be true. Then, the person sheathes his sword and brings up his gun and shoots the people around him... for thirty seconds nonstop without reloading.
Alicia finally finds her voice back: "I... What was that? Who is that person?"
Isara answers doubtly: "At least he's not aiming at us... I think."
Welkin speaks his own thinking: "I'm more surprised by how the sniper could shoot the tank bullet in thin air like that... whatever the case, we will try to talk to him after this."
About three minutes later, the last survivors of the Empire's units have run away, leaving all destroyed tanks behind. Welkin carefully opens the tank hatch and observes the destruction around them, before looking at the mysterious person who's walking to them with the gun hanging on his shoulder again. Once the man's close enough, the commander of Edelweiss could see the person's black hair, his glasses reflecting the sunlight; he wears a white long coat over white shirt and black trousers, which makes Welkin wonder again how he pulled all those moves with that kind of outfit.
He tries to be friendly, as he waves his hand to the stranger. "Um, hello there. Thanks for helping us fighting those soldiers."
Luckily to him, the person gives the same gesture while smiling. "Yo! Nice to see you managed to evacuate people out of the town. That was really nasty from those guys attacking this place."
Welkin scratches his head and replies: "We just gave distractions for the others to escape. Anyway, my name is Welkin Gunther. What's yours?"
The person bows with his right arm in front of his chest. "Kuro, at your service." 'No last name? So he's a Darscens?' "As much as I want to talk more, more Empire units are coming, and soon this place will be in their hands. We better get out of here first."
Welkin nods at his answer. "You can come with us if you want."
"That's nice of you, but I have to pick up my sniper friend at the Mills. Can we meet each other in the hill West from here?"
"That's the direction we're heading to. Everyone is waiting for us there." Kuro salutes and heads to the car of the Empire's commander and drives away.
During the time they're heading out, Alicia asks Welkin: "Do you think he's like Isara?"
Isara disagrees: "He doesn't have anything like an accessory of Darscens."
Welkin gives out a guest: "Maybe he doesn't wear it yet?"
Isara: "Each of us must have one thing with our signature in it, being the scarf or hat and so on."
Alicia: "But it could be possible that he doesn't even know he's one?"
Isara gives that idea a thought. "...Could be. But I highly doubt it."
Welkin changes the subject: "Do you think letting the survivors of the Empire run away like that is okay?"
Alicia: "If we chase them down, who knows if we suddenly face their entire Army? Our plan was to save everyone, and it succeeded."
Welkin slowly nods at the answer. "It's for the best."
Later on...
"You're waiting for someone?" The chief asks Alicia, when he sees her and Gunther's siblings waiting next to Edelweiss. Gallia soldiers have started leading the people of the town to a nearby one for safety. The chief goes last but stops when he sees that.
Alicia answers: "It might sound weird to you, but... we met the one who blasted the tanks for us."
He widens his eyes in surprise. "Really? And you're waiting for him? Do you know who he is?"
Welkin answers: "We don't know sir. He only told us his name which is Kuro, and he's picking up a friend of him who used the sniper to take down the foot soldiers."
The chief asks again, not fully believing it: "Two of them defeating a group of Empire's soldiers and tanks? Are you sure he's making that up?"
Alicia says uncertainly: "That's remain to..."
"EMPIRE'S VEHICLE BEHIND US!" Immediately some of Gallia soldiers run past the group and point the gun to the far direction, with their tanks slowly turn their cannons to the location they spotted the vehicle.
Welkin borrows one of the binoculars and looks at the vehicle, to see Kuro driving to them with someone at the passenger seat. He then shouts up: "Hold your fire! That's not the enemy!"
As the soldiers of Gallia turn to him look at him like crazy, he explains: "The one driving the car is the one who saved us before. He used the car to pick up his friend."
One of them asks with doubt: "You sure about that? It could be a spy trying to infiltrate our lines."
Isara shakes her head in disagreement. "If that's the case, then he did a poor job in trying to stop himself from cutting those soldiers in half."
Everyone nearby cringes at the thought. Then, before they notice, the car has stopped in front of them, forcing them to go in defense stand. The driver jumps out of the car and fixes his coat, with the other just slowly opens the rear door and walks out. Everyone starts examining both of them, and they're very surprised. The man looks nearly like a Darscen, but his hair looks like it's pure black, and he doesn't have things with designs like Isara's. When they see the girl, she also has long black hair tied in two pigtails by black ribbon with white lines. The way she dresses is way too strange to them, being only a black dress with black arm warmers, black high socks and shoes. They could have thought she's another if not for her eyes: they are blood red.
Kuro bows again to greet: "A pleasure to meet you all. The name is Kuro, and this is..."
He gestures to the girl, as she does the same as him: "My name is Uni. Thanks for waiting for us."
The soldiers start murmuring with each other, but Welkin cheerfully greets back: "Hello again Kuro, and nice to meet you miss Uni."
Uni smiles back. "To you as well." Then she turns serious. "I think we should be on the move now. We saw a bigger group of those guys heading in the town already."
The chief sighs. "We don't have a choice do we?" Then he asks them: "What about you two? Would you follow us?"
Uni: "If we're given permission." There's a tint of playfulness in her voice just then.
The chief recognizes it and chuckles. "Well then..."
"Hold up." The leader of the Gallia troopers interrupts, as he tells the two: "Since we know nothing about you two, we have to ask you to follow us to our nearest military base."
Kuro looks at Uni and waits for her answer... and he has it: "We comply, but after we make sure everyone gets out of here safely."
One of the troopers retorts: "What makes you..."
The leader interrupts: "Fine to us, as long as you don't run. And handle your weapons."
Uni nods, and Kuro reaches to the backseat of the car and pulls them out with Uni. And everyone widens their eyes in shock at the sights of the weapons. The one in the girl's hand is definitely a sniper, but it has two sticks under the barrel, and it seems to have a magazine under it, unlike any snipers they have ever seen. The man pulls out three weapons: a green tube with a rectangle thing attached to it, a grey rifle with a round magazine attached near the buttstock instead of about the middle of the gun and with a sight, and a thin sword of all things.
Kuro then gently puts them down on the ground in front of the soldiers and Uni does the same. "Be careful with them, they're quite heavy except the sword."
As the soldiers start circling the weapons in wonder, Alicia asks the girl: "So Uni was the one who shot those soldiers?"
Uni: "Yeah, that's me, with Kuro using the rifle as well."
Isara asks Kuro: "Then the tube must be the weapon you used to blow those tanks, right?"
Kuro: "Pretty much." Then he chuckles as he notices a soldier trying hard to keep the tube on his shoulder without himself falling face first on the ground. "Someone help him please. There's a bomb inside." And everyone freezes in their places in fear, causing him to explain to calm them down: "It won't blow up if it's not fired, but it's very heavy for one person to hold it for a long time without support."
The chief nearly sweats when he remembers how easily Kuro brought it up with one hand. "Then you must be strong to hold it like it's nothing."
Kuro: "Have to adapt to situations. So, can we go now? The sun's going down soon."
Weapons used by the others:
Intervention with Bipod and Suppressor
L82 LSW with Round Mag, Bipod and Red Dot Sight
Normal katana
FGM-148 Javelin with CLU
Cavaliere (DMC5 Motorcycle Devil Arm)
For those who has followed me for a while, you know who Kuro is. If not, then basically he's a Gary Stu. But he won't make it so that all battles are too easy to deal with. The main focus will be Uni helping Gallia friends WITHOUT most of her power.
I'm using all VC sources (Anime, Manga and even Games) so you will see the events are being mixed up for a bit, but not to the degree that makes you feel alien to this story.
If you feel like you have read this before, then I will tell you: I was inspired by 'Tesla soldiers', really good story. BUT don't expect me to do the same, I have my own ways to help Gallia.
I think that's enough for now. The update will be slow, but I hope it's worth for some of you. Chao!
