"Holy hell." One American soldier of German descent reacted upon seeing the contents inside the capsule. "Guys, you might wanna see this!"

"Let me see." A female Austrian soldier with blonde hair responded before seeing what's inside. "Huh?"

What shocked them is that a girl with bright red hair was inside under suspended animation. Her youthful appearance suggests that she was put under stasis for transport and preservation.

"How long has she been in there?" A Canadian wondered. "If I have to guess, she may have been around since the time of the Nazis, based on the artifacts we have seen before and the appearance of the capsule here."

"Likely...well, I do hear rumors of secret German projects during the Second World War on TV. My father often watched these during his free time." The Austrian supported his idea.

"Whatever it is, we need to inform Admiral Raines about this. I don't want to see the Neuer Falke getting any more powerful shit the next time we see them, including whatever she is."

The three then took another small glimpse of the girl before they began to reach out to the pilot of the Raven dropship.

"Irons, can you request paramedics?" The captain requested. "We have a girl here."

"Copy that, Captain." He then began contacting the base for landing clearance. "Spangdahlem Control, this is Hyena Two. We are on final approach. Requesting clearance to land and paramedics at the ready, over."

"Copy, Hyena Two. You are cleared to land." The control tower authorized their landing. "Be advised, paramedics are on stand-by."

"A'ight, we're here." The American leader informed.

(Spangdahlem Base, Spangdahlem - June 3, 0214 hrs.)

The Raven was being guided by ground personnel as it touches down on the ground. Once the landing is complete, the ramp is opened to allow Echo Team of the Special Combat Air Recon to bring the capsule outside. As they brought her outside, the commander of the base of Lithuanian descent was waiting near the dropship alongside paramedics.

"Good to see you people back in one piece." He greeted.

"Yeah, but it looks like we have encountered slightly heavier resistance than we expected." The captain admitted. "By the way sir, we got someone here in need of medical attention and we need to contact Admiral Raines immediately."

"Whom did you find?"

"Follow me, sir." The Austrian guided him towards the capsule to see the girl inside. "We don't know why she was wanted by the Neuer Falke."

"What the hell?" He reacted upon seeing her for the first time. "What is she doing inside?"

"It's weird. We don't know why."

"I understand, Warrant Officer Fredericka. Captain Walter, meet me at my office in ten minutes and bring along your team as well."

"On my way." Walter agreed before turning his attention to his teammates. "Fredericka, Hebert, let's take the girl somewhere safe first."

"Affirmative." The two agreed before closely looking at the capsule to locate the control panel.

"I can see a button here. I wonder what does it do."

He pressed it and the pressure inside slowly begins to match with the one outside. He then pressed another button to open the capsule. It revealed the full extent of the girl's appearance: a single white short dress.

"Let's bring here to the stretcher." Hebert uttered and he and Fredericka carried her onto a wating strecher. "Take good care of her."

"We will, don't worry." One of them assured before sending her inside an ambulance, complete with an oxygen mask. It then leaves the tarmac.

Hebert noticed that Fredericka was feeling unsure.

"Hey Finé, you okay there?" He asked.

"Uhh...yeah." She shyly replied. "The girl..."

"I know. We still don't know just like you said earlier."

"The only thing we can rely on for now is those classified files the OSS has recovered before." Walter suggested. "Maybe our answers could be answered.

Unbeknownst to them, a small tracking chip was installed on her capsule.

(0220 hrs.)

As soon as the team assembled on the monitor, it reveals an African-American man in his office in Geneva.

"Captain Walter, good to see you and your team here today." He greeted.

"Nice to see you as well sir, but we have something to tell you."

"Go ahead."

Walter then began to explain their discovery.

"Admiral, we have recovered a young girl from the facility and we have confirmed that she is under suspended animation. We have reasons to believe that whatever the Germans built during the Second World War, the Neuer Falke would like to get their hands on it and cause more attacks."

"That's a problem for sure. Status of the girl?" Raines asked for her condition.

"She's in the hospital, sir. Awaiting medical check-up."

"I see. In the meantime, we have intel of Neuer Falke operatives amassing in Norway as we speak. You will receive a detailed report as soon as we have further confirmation." The monitor displayed a satellite photograph on the suspected base which is located in Ålfotbreen. "Be prepared at once. Top Cat out."

The briefing ended once Raines stopped the transmission.

"Another Neuer Falke hideout to deal with?"

"Just another day in the office, Jude." Walter nodded. "Just another day."

(0229 hrs.)

Echo Team entered the office of Albert Kubilus as he continued reading the report. The former saluted in front of the officer.

"Sir, Echo Team reporting." Walter said.

"Carry on." Kubilus responded and the team lowered their hands. "Thank you for coming here because we have some bigger issues to deal with."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"After analyzing the intel we have on the Neuer Falke, it appears they are growing stronger by the minute. C5s have been spotted on numerous locations in the Caucasus, the Alps, even as far as Greenland. We even have reports that arms shipments are much more frequent as we speak."

"Any idea who is sending them weapons?" Hebert asked.

"Negative, Lieutenant Hebert. We are still looking into it."

"Alright, sir."

Kubilis then switches to the situation in connection to the girl.

"The girl you have recovered could mean that the Neuer Falke could try something else. We believe that we are facing some very unconventional methods of warfare that were first attempted back in World War II."

"So, that means that we are going to look at other things Hitler and his cronies tried to use?" Walter asked. "Something that can be from science-fiction?"

"Exactly, Captain Walter. In the meantime, I want your team to be on stand-by until further notice." Kubilis requested. "We will inform you of any updates."

"Affirmative. We will wait." Walter agreed.

"Dismissed." The team then left the room.

As they began to head for their quarters, the team began pondering.

"Unconventional warfare?" Hebert wondered.

"Indeed. Something much wierder than the V1s or V2s." Walter agreed. "You ever heard of what happened back in Japan: the weird light show?"

"That?" Fredericka remembered. "That's right. The strange light in the sky that night."

"Even now, the scientific community is baffled. There are even reports of readings of gravitational waves in the mountains. I wonder what is going on there."

She then yawned after a long period of staying awake.

"...in that case, I better get some sleep."

"Good idea." Walter agreed. "Get some shut-eye. We better save some energy."

As the team moved on, outside, unknown forces began infiltrating the base. One of them closed in on a partolman and stabbed him while covering his mouth to muffle the noise.

"He's down." He confirmed. "Report your status."

"Teams 1 and 2 are standing by." One of his fellow soldiers reported.

"Roger. As soon as you are inside, find the witch."

While they continue with their infiltration, an unsuspecting guard was busy patrolling the area beside the hangars for the Jackals.

"This is Lima 3, Hangar 2 is secured. Moving to Hangar 3." The soldier reported on his radio.

"Copy that." Another patrolman responded.

As he began to leave for the next area, he heard a noise.

"Huh?" He began to aim his NV4 at the source. "Who's there?"

Instead, he received an energy shot in the head to kill him.

"Close one." The operative sighed in relief.

The two operatives then moved the body away from the scene before moving out to the warehouse.

"Got anything?" The second asked.

"It should be right over there." The first replied while confirming the location via his pad. "Be careful, Schmid."

The two quietly made their way towards the warehouse while hiding from patrols, searchlights and any sensors that can detect them.

"Inside." He opened the door and quietly proceeded to look for the capsule.

When they did spotted it, they moved closer only to see that it was opened.

"Crap! It's opened!" Schmid reacted upon seeing what happened to the capsule.

"Holy..." The exclamation made the other teams who are hearing it react as well.

"Jäger, report your status." One of them requested.

"Sir, the capsule is opened."

"WHAT!? Don't tell me they may have transferred her somewhere!"

"I don't know, we just arrived."

Suddenly, a patrol team arrived inside to cover the room. The infiltration team took cover to hide themselves.

"Looks like it's clear." He reported. "Casper, this is Sierra 2, we have arrived at the warehouse."

As the team began the sweep, the infiltration team began to slowly move away from the patrol team's line-of-sight. They reached the entrance while the team was not looking, making a clean getaway.

"Let's keep looking." Jäger encouraged.

Suddenly, a patrolman spotted them. He opened fire at the intruders which began alerting the base. Inside the warehouse, the patrol team was surprised to hear gunshots.

"I don't like this. Let's go!" The leader encouraged.

Even the main facilities were not spared by the encounter as an alarm was sounded that brought the entire base in an emergency.

"This is not a drill! Hostile elements have infiltrated the base!" The announcer warned. "I repeat, this is not a drill! Hostile elements have infiltrated the base - weapons free!"

The soldiers began to arm themselves to defend the base. In the quarters, Fredericka rushed to get her weapons as well.

"We are under attack! Man your positions!" One regular shouted.

On her way to the armory, Walter and Hebert saw her.

"You get that?" Fredericka asked a question.

"Yeah...looks like they know where she is." Walter responded.

Outside, a gunfight between the Neuer Falke and the United Nations Space Alliance ensued as the former began to dig themselves into cover. Explosions from the grenades also appeared.

"You have requested air support?" One of the operatives asked before firing his KBAR-32.

"About ten minutes." Another responded.

Echo Team, now armed, began to assist the troops in order to fend off the infiltrators.

"Listen up: we need to push them back at all costs. Jude, provide overwatch at the top of the warehouse. Guide our allies."

"On it." Hebert responded while holding his KBS Longbow sniper rifle.

"Finé, with me."

"Copy." Fredericka followed.

The two soldiers arrived at the tarmac as the fight progresses.

"Go, go!" Walter barked.

When Fredericka spotted three soldiers, she opened fire with her RPR Evo submachine gun. She managed to kill one of them before taking cover.

"Reloading!" Walter responded as he began to change the magazine for his NV4. "Tangos, 10 o'clock!"

"I see him!" One soldier responded before opening fire.

Then, a fragmentation grenade was thrown at Walter's position.

"Grenade!" He shouted to warn nearby soldiers to get away. It exploded, killing two of them. "Fuck!"

"I see him!" Fredericka spotted an infiltrator before killing him with a short burst from her rifle. "Enemy down!"

"Concentrate your fire!"

Suddenly, the sound of an approaching aircraft began to fill the air. This made the defenders worried.

"I don't like this." Fredericka uttered with concern.

The aircraft appeared in front of the defenders, surprising them with its dark paint scheme, swept-forward wings and an impressive array of heavy ordinance.

"Enemy gunship - take cover!" Fredericka shouted as the defenders attempted to find cover from the incoming fire from the aircraft.

The rockets and hail of gunfire began taking a toll on the UNSA troops as they are beginning to be slowly picked off. Fredericka ran towards her commanding officer.

"What do we do, sir?" She asked.

"We find a rocket and shoot it down!" Walter responded before firing back.

"Copy!"

(0304 hrs.)

Inside a nearby hospital, incoming calls concerning the wounded began to spike as the first responders began to rush to the base. Meanwhile, under the wailing from both the civil defense siren and those of emergency services, the ambulance carrying the girl arrived at the hospital.

"That's it, be careful." One of the paramedics reminded as the wheeled strecher was carefully unloaded along with dextrose.

A few meters later, the doctors and nurses were waiting for the girl when she arrived.

"Doctor, she's currently stable." He reported.

"Thank you for the news." The doctor was glad before beginning to talk to his colleagues. "No time to waste! I need a check on her immediately!"

"Yes, doctor!" A fellow doctor responded.

As the doctors and nurses began to take her for treatment, she slowly began to regain consciousness and slightly opened her eyes.

"...mmmmnnngggh...huh?"

Her recent actions surprised the medical team.

"Look, she's regaining consciouness." A doctor reported.

She looked at her surroundings until she realized that they are mostly unfamiliar to her.

"Am I...in a hospital?" She then began to try to persuade them to let her go. "Hey, let me go! I'm fine!"

"You need a check-up, ma'am." The lead doctor rejected. "You don't know what's your condition right now."

"Please!" She then leaped out of her stretcher before the feed needle for the dextrose gave her some pain. "Owww!"

She slowly noticed the feed on her left hand.

"Ma'am, please!" A nurse pleaded. "You might be in danger!"

Slowly, she removed the needle from her left hand before turning around in front of the doctors and nurses for the last time.

"I know what you are doing but I'll be fine on my own." She apologized while bowing. "Thank you, anyway."

She then ran away. The medical team was left surprised.

"I wasn't expecting that to happen." It was the words the lead doctor uttered. "Just was is she?"

On her way, the situation in the hospital remained dire as the other doctors and nurses were preparing to treat the first of the wounded soldiers. When she went outside, she was shocked to see where she is. Buildings of different design were shown before her as well as vehicles which feature more curves than her previous encounters.

"Where am I? This doesn't look like the last village I visited." The wailing of the sirens then made her wonder what is going on. "Is an attack going on?"

She then saw smoke glowing in the distance as a fire is raging on.

"Oh no...!"

(0317 hrs.)

Inside the base, Kubilis was armed with his Kendall 44 pistol as he began to make contact with the other officers.

"Sitrep!"

"Sir, we've lost hangars 1, 3 and 5." The officer reported. "They have gunship support as we can't get air assets on time."

"Fan out and get our launchers to any of our surviving troops. We need to turn the tide."

"Yes, sir." The officer left before another one came with some bad news.

"Sir, two more bogeys approaching the base - bearing 342!"

"Crap!" Kulbilis reacted. "We must hurry, NOW!"

Outside, Fredericka and Walter began to move away from the gunship's line-of-sight while firing back at any Neuer Falke troops.

"Jude, you have eyes on the gunship?" Walter asked while under fire.

"I see the target." He then notice the rear doors opening. "Hold on, enemy reinforcements appriaching."

When the first of the enemy soldiers began to drop, he shot him mid-way.

"Captain, throw a grenade inside and you should be able to down it. We have our hands full."

"Roger that." Walter complied. "Finé, we have to down it. I'll cover you."

"Wilco!" Fredericka responded.

Fredericka began to close in as the captain opened fire at any enemies that would try to stop her from reaching the gunship. The former did the same before reaching the bottom of the dropship.

"Throwing grenade!" She shouted as she armed it. It was then thrown inside the gunship from the rear before another one was armed and thrown

"Grenade!" One of the soldiers inside shouted before the explosion killed them.

The first explosion damaged the interior and some of the flight controls before the second one finally disabled the latter, sending it into a dangerous spin. Fredericka then began to hurriedly head back to Captain Walter before the gunship crashed and exploded.

"Nice one, Finé." Walter lauded.

"Thank you, sir." She sighed.

"We still have work to do." He then began to contact Hebert. "Jude, what's your status?"

"This is Jude, we are currently pinned down at the warehouse. We need help, over."

"Hold on, we're on our way. ETA two mikes."

While running towards Hebert's position, two more gunships appeared from the northwest. Hebert noticed the sounds and was shocked to see two more of it.

"Shit!" He shouted before the gunships opened fire on him. He began to dodge rocket fire as the explosions tried to close in on him. "Taking enemy fire!"

Then, unknown objects began to fly through the gunships, forcing them to either suddenly spin out or outright drop to the ground. Regardless, they were no longer flying and the way it behaves baffled Hebert.

"What the hell just happened?!" He uttered.

Even on the side of the Neuer Falke and the other UNSA soldiers, they were unable to keep their reactions away from spilling out.

"What the hell just happened?!" One soldier shouted.

"We don't know, those things just...!"

The embattled UNSA soldiers then realized they have the opportunity to strike back.

"Now's our chance! Fire!" The lead soldier shouted before firing his NV4.

They quickly took out many of the Neuer Falke soldiers leaving a few to fend for themselves. Fredericka and Walter finished off the remaining combatants. They then began to regroup with the two SCAR operatives.

"You see that?" Walter asked about the strange event.

"You mean those freaking flyin' pipes? Yeah, we did." The leader affirmed

"Whatever it is, we have the opportunity to win while we have the chance."

"We're with you, sir." Then, Walter received a transmission from Hebert.

"Guys, you might wanna look up in the air. I think we found the source." The team took a glimpse at the sky before noticing a white figure riding on a long pole not far ahead.

"Is that..." Upon closer inspection, Fredericka was shocked after recognizing what it is. "You've gotta be kidding me!"

"It's that girl!" Walter followed while the other soldiers were stunned. What they saw is a girl riding on a big pole that can fly.

The girl noticed the UNSA soldiers below and began her descent towards them. As soon as she is down on the ground, she got off from the pipe before the latter dropped on its own. Walter signalled the regular soldiers to stand down.

"Hold it." He requested them to stand down as the girl approaches them.

"Wh-who are you people?"

"United Nations Space Alliance, ma'am." Walter responded. "What's your name?"

She tries to regain her confidence for a moment before finally releasing her answer.

"I-I-Izetta..."

Suddenly, another explosion rocked the base, scaring her.

"Eeek! What's that?!"

"Guess trouble's brewing over at the command center." Fredericka answered before a transmission from Kubilis was received.

"This is Spangdahlem Command, we are being breached! I say again, we are being breached!" Kubilis shouted. "Request support over!"

"Affirmative, we're on our way." Walter responded before Echo Team began to head out to assist. "Let's move out. Jude?"

"Solid copy, Cap." Hebert responded on the radio

Suddenly, Fredericka went towards Izetta and gave her a gentle pat on the head.

"Huh?"

"You'll be fine here." Fredericka told her with a smile. "The guys here will keep you safe."

"Okay." Izetta replied before Fredericka left.

When the team reached the building, the defenders inside were in a losing position.

"This isn't going well." Walter observed. "Finé, Jude, keep them from overruning the building."

"Roger that." Fredericka responded.

"Copy." Hebert followed.

The team then began to open fire at the Neuer Falke soldiers as they are now caught in a two-fronted attack. They were slowly losing men as the special forces operatives laid down bullet after bullet.

"Target killed." Hebert confirmed after shooting one soldier in the head.

"Frag out!" Fredericka shouted before throwing towards four unsuspecting soldiers. It exploded, killing them.

Walter closed in on the building as he cleared the path for the rest to enter.

"Time to get inside. Clear the area and help our allies inside." He ordered.

The team entered the building after reloading. Hebert got hold of a Karma-45 submachine gun to effectively fight at close range. A few meters later, they saw a group of enemy soldiers.

"Enemies spotted! Light 'em up!"

The team took cover while opening fire at the infiltrators. The enemy soldiers did the same while one of them threw a grenade at them.

"Grenade!" Hebert shouted to warn the team. They escaped the blast radius before it exploded.

"That's close!" Fredericka commented.

As some of the Neuer Falke broke from their cover, Echo Team was able to seize the opportunity by firing while they attempt to fire back. They closed in before finishing off the last of the soldiers.

"Area clear!" Jude confirmed.

When they reached the command room, it was total chaos as the surviving officers and soldiers were gradually getting outnumbered.

"This is bad." Fredericka was shocked at the scene.

"Clear the room, now!" Walter prioritized and his subordinates nodded. "Nail the bastards!"

Echo Team then opened fire at the Neuer Falke forces.

"2 o'clock!" Hebert observed.

"I see him!" Fredericka responded before shooting the target. "He's down!"

"Copy that!" Walter uttered.

The firefight was slowly dying down as four Neuer Falke soldiers remained fighting. One of them attempted to throw a grenade at the surviving defenders. Fredericka took notice of it at fired the shot that stopped him from tossing it away.

"Get out of here!" One shouted to the survivors before the grenade exploded.

Echo Team then finished them off.

"That's all of them." Jude confirmed.

Then, one UNSA soldier came to see the team before saluting.

"Staff Sergeant Fischer, reporting." He introduced himself.

"How many causalties are we looking?" Fredericka asked.

"Ninteen, including officers."

"What about Colonel Kubilis?"

Fischer shook his head in reply.

"Didn't made it. Took a bullet in the chest defending the evacuation."

He took them to the body of the officer as the survivors began to organize the dead. When they took one last glimpse of him, all Echo Team did was salute in mourning.

"Peace to the fallen." They said in unison.

(0402 hrs.)

When emergency services arrived, Izetta stood by looking at the scene. She can even see two UNSA dropships providing assistance to ease the strain on the workers. What bothered her was the location and time she is now.

Suddenly, a familiar face came.

"You look down when I saw you." Fredericka said frankly. "Are you alright?"

"Well...uh..." Izetta tried to come up with an answer. "I honestly don't know where I am. Can you tell me where are we now?"

Fredericka sat beside her before revealing the answer.

"You're in Spangdahlem Military Base, near the city of Trier."

"That's German territory!" Izetta remembered before trying to run away. "I better-"

Fredericka hold her arms before beginning to assure her.

"Hold your horses. Germany was already beaten."

"Beaten!?" Izetta was stunned by the revelation. "They...lost?"

"It was more than a hundred years ago since the Second World War ended. You were asleep for that period."

"I was asleep for more than a hundred years?!" The girl reacted upon hearing the second revelation. "I-I..."

"Calm down, Izetta. You were long gone from the world. It's time to move on."

Izetta slowly calmed down while beginning to face reality. Her absence from previous world affairs meant that she has to come up face-to-face with what is going on right now.

"Alright...I will."

"Just tell me why you were wanted by them and maybe we could sort this out."

"I'll tell you." She began to tell Fredericka her story. "To be honest, I came from a long line of withces."

"Witches? You mean those with magic powers?"

Izetta nodded.

"I was the last one left and my grandmother told me that we shouldn't interfere with the actions of mankind. There are bad things bound to happen if my magic was to be discovered. That's why there are people like the Germans who are after me."

"Just like what you did earlier." Fredericka nodded in understanding before noticing Izetta shedding tears.

"But I broke it...and then look what happened." She began to cry and Fredericka began comforting her.

"It's not your fault. Have you not come here on time, we would have been killed off already. We are thankful for your help."

"...really?"

Fredericka nodded.

"I believe it. Besides, Germany is not like it is before."

"I'm so glad." She wiped a tear off her eye. "Thank you."

Just then, Walter and Hebert arrived.

"Finé, we have to get going!" The former informed. "Admiral Raines needs to see us for the briefing."

"I will." She then took one more look at Izetta. "Listen, I better go. See ya."

Izetta waved her hand in reply, smiling.

"Okay...I'll see you again."

The team then left to meet with Admiral Raines.

A/N: To those who might wanna know, this fanfic will take place less than a year before the events of Infinite Warfare. Try not to expect much from it.

I also just started watching it. Overall, it is quite good enough that it should be enough to get you interested.
