What you recognize I don't own. This picks up immediately after part one so there will be a small recap at the beginning to set the stage and as a reminder for those who have already read part one. As always foreign, alien and sign language is in asterisks, thoughts are in italics and military time will be used more often in this story. I also made a mistake in the first story of using the American version of a name when I would normally use the Japanese version, for the moment I will not change the first story mistake though that may change in time, for this story I will use the proper Japanese form when applicable. I will also use the abbreviation for the Japanese Self Defense Force, so if you see JSDF I am talking about the Japanese military

Julia was on a plane bound for a location she didn't know of, but she trusted the pilot's explicitly considering they were military pilots. Julia knew she was unique in a few different ways, first of all she was the youngest person in the Japanese military at age 17, there was also the fact that once she was done with military basic she was going to go into training to become a police officer as well. Another reason why she was unique was because while she was considered a Japanese citizen she was actually still technically an American citizen but due to her unique status she had the ability to invoke her international citizenship and request permission to be considered the citizen of the country she was staying in for whatever reason and as such while she was an American and had to follow some American laws, she was also a Japanese citizen who had to obey Japanese laws, but the military was one of the things that the Japanese government agreed was best to follow American laws on to keep things as uncomplicated as possible

*Okay everyone off the plane*

Everyone gets off the plane and soon they start hearing their names and finally Julia's name is called and she gets her new uniform nodding to her instructors when she saw the note attached to hers acknowledging she had received it. They were finally taken to the barracks that they would sleep in and Julia finally read the note which stated that they understood the situation in the fact that once basic training was completed she would be considered as part of the reserves and would not be called in until after she completed police training to begin her military service

*Okay everyone, tomorrow you need to be dressed and ready at 0800 for your first day, after that everyone needs to be up and ready by 0700 and that's final, welcome to the military. Kerenai we have special instructions regarding you, something about secondary medical check by an Earth Defense Command doctor in regards to something unique about you?*

*Understood sir, shouldn't take more than two hours*

*Okay then, making sure you understood what was going on*

The next day Julia had tests done that were specialized and then wrote something down

"Take this down to Tokyo metropolitan police and ask for Tamura Naoto and make sure he gets this"

"What for and who's Tamura Naoto?"

"Sorry can't explain the note and as for Tamura Naoto, in America he would be called Naoto Tamura but I try and use the correct Japanese form whenever possible"

"Fine, you pass by the way"

"Okay, going to get to training now"

Julia goes through basics with flying colors and then heads off to police training and passes that as well with top marks in marksmanship for both jobs

*Kerenai, I heard that you're needed by the EDC temporarily*

*Yeah, it's a personal reason by the way considering I'm an EDC kid though it's understandable really*

*True, how long will you be gone?*

*Not too long I think*

*Okay, here's where you're going to be stationed once you get back*

She's handed a piece of paper and acknowledges her assignment. She then goes to an EDC base to be taken to Cybertron for the ceremony which was her rite of passage acknowledging her as an adult and in full control over her special powers that she had been born with but hadn't emerged until she was about five years old

"So where are you going first?"

"Police, the military and police apparently have an agreement of some sort, since I am only in the reserves for the military I will be at the police station for the most part except when called to duty or once a month for mandatory training for a week, in America it's only one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year but for Japan it's going to be one week a month and a full month once a year unless I am called up for active duty just like in America"

"Okay then, do you know where you're going to be stationed?"

"Yep, and I already know a few people at the police station so that's going to help my transition greatly"

Julia then heads back to Earth and goes to her assigned station in Japan

*Kerenai reporting in sir*

*Thank you for coming, however you are a few days late*

*Sir did you not receive the message that I was needed by the EDC for a few days?*

*No, which I should have, if that's the case then you aren't late at all are you?*

*No sir I'm not*

*Okay then I won't reprimand you since it's not your fault I wasn't informed like I should have been*

*So who's my partner?*

*For now Akeshi Takato, your main partner will be Tamura Naoto but he's on special assignment with the American FBI*

*Oh?*

*Yeah, there's been some issues about Japanese criminals committing acts against Americans and going state to state so the FBI requested Jiban seeing as how he's been given the honor of being an American Federal agent*

*That's right, I almost forgot he's an honorary EDC officer and American Federal agent, mainly because that isn't activated on a regular basis, as far as I know it's only been effectively used during the trial against those who abducted him in the first place and then two years ago when that terrorist thought he could flee America by coming to Japan, and that's when his status as a honorary American Federal agent activated*

*So that he could remain in American custody the entire time*

*Exactly*

*Well for now you and your temporary partner have patrol so meet up with him and get to work*

*Yes sir*

Julia goes to meet her temporary partner and they head off to patrol which on their first day was pretty active for the area they were patrolling, two fires, one hit and run, one false alarm and two robberies
