6/23/2014
Present day Hong kong
Being dazed from the rocket strike the enemies began assaulting the tattered squad that was buried. Covered in debris the sounds of screaming Chinese soldier echo into the alleyway where the men are all dazed. Reaching the men all the soldiers' received a hailstorm of bullets as Master Gunnery Sergeant Smith and his squad joins the fray. Going over to Staff Sergeant Nero he pulls the man out of the debris.
"Hey did you not hear my ass on the plane I said your ass does not die unless I instruct you so" spoke the large man placing Nero back on his feet.
"Sorry resistance is getting worse by the second pushing into the target point is taking longer than usual". Nero responded back as he watches his men get treated.
"that is to be expected good work pushing this far you can rest easy for a bit you and your team worked hard enough" Setting up a small command post reinforcement arrived allowing the squad a moments rest.
Looking over at the carnage Nero continues exhibiting PTSD his mind plays multiple flashbacks now the believing he's seeing spirits the children all scorn at him having slain them due to the fact they were forced to fight them he see's them constantly in his mind. Resting briefly at a time Zero and Ash notices his strange behavior
"Brother are you alright you seem to be having troubles" Zero sitting down next to Nero handing him an MRE.
"Yes everything is fine I just want this to end already" Hiding his true feelings he opens the pouch and began eating his meal.
"Man oh Man food at last now we don't have to plunder around salvaging anything to eat" Ash commented having been the first to finish most his food.
"You three when you are ready we have a mission for you. We have confirmation on Lee Jo Dan location you might be able to stop this war so get ready" Called out their NCO
"Oh great there goes the small break we get" Zero groaned getting up
"Lets finish this war already to many innocent lives are lost because of it" Nero commented following behind
"He's right let's end this bull shit I'm sick and tired of all this pointless fighting" Ash commented
Arriving at the table they were handed a bag with new fresh supplies and ammo. Being briefed on the mission they set out running down multiple alley ways. Moving stealthily the three proceeded to a hidden building hiding from the map. Noticing a lot of Tanks and Vehicles guarding the certain building the three radioed into camp.
"Hey Gunny you got something to help us out here they are heavily guarded we are not getting anywhere near the building". Zero called out into his radio.
"Yeah I got you guys something I knew this might be the case, inside the bag you will find a flare gun and green smoke. Pop the green smoke near the enemies and fire off the flare air support will rain down the hurt you got 10 min make this count"
"Alright guys this is it I'll go with Ash and set everything up then" Nero called out before getting interrupted.
"Nero If anyone is going to end the war its going to be you. You led all of us this far even after losing commander after commander they placed you in charge and from that day on you pulled us through the shit storm countless times. Therefore this is on you we'll cover you so get going." Zero pushing Nero away.
"Ok I'll go, but take the M107 give me cover fire while I head inside I know you can do it" Nero taking off his M107 handed it over to Zero before pulling out his M9
"Alright guys lets do this shit" Ash called out running towards a building opposite from the objective point.
Rushing up the building Ash soon lit the green smoke tossing it into the large group of enemies. Zero following up with the flare shot it into the sky soon the loud howl of the multiple A-10 warthog screamed into sight destroying all ground forces. Nero spotting the opening after the first wave rushed towards the building killing multiple enemies along the way. Rushing into the building Zero laid down cover fire protecting Nero he watches as his brother enters the building making history as the Marine who ended the bloodshed.
"I swear capturing this bastard better put an end to the war" Nero thought to himself rushing through the chaos.
Running towards the building he met with some resistance. Aiming his M9 he laid waste to those who stood in his path rushing onwards multiple men surprised him from the back only to drop dead as Zero picked them off.
"Hey you owe me for that one" Zero commented on his earpiece continuing his cover
"Yeah yeah I get it just keep it up" Nero called out before entering the building
Fighting up the building he reached the 30th floor only to be greeted by heavy resistance. Running low on ammo for the m9 he had picked up an enemy QBZ-03 rifle and multiple rounds entering a firefight Nero held his own being outnumbered he continued killing each of his opponent with high marksman skills. Finishing off the last of the forces he burst through the door to be greeted by a man sitting down in his chair.
"My my I thought there would be an army at my doorstep but it turns out to be a single man. Though I commend you for making it here" Lee spoke as he rises from the chair
"This war is over now come with me peacefully resist and I may have to drop your ass" Nero replied aiming his rifle at the man
"Tell me young one how was it killing I can tell you have a high kill count under your belt"
"Can it I don't need to give you any information now come with me quietly"
"Did you hear their screams as you end their lives? Have you felt each one of their pain? I must have cursed you with this but it matters not enjoy killing women and children that's all you are good for" Lee remarked before a gunshot sound resonated inside the room
Falling to the ground Nero had ended the dictator's life. Bursting through the door his men spotted their leader dead. Calling out throughout the radio the war had ended. Zero breaking through the building along with Ash tackled Nero as the ally forces arrived.
"Alright you did it brother the war it's finally over" Zero yelled out
"Yeah we can finally go home this is the greatest news ever"

Now with his life out of order he sat at a nature center with a river flowing in front of him he quietly watches as life moves all around him picking up a his cigarette he took a puff before expelling the cloud of smoke out. A twig was heard snapping as Zero made his way to his brother.
"Hey I heard what happened I should've did something to prevent this all from happening" said Zero as he sits next to Nero
"No its alright at least I caught her in the act and separated as soon as possible now I don't know what to do anymore" Nero answered still hurt from the truth taking another puff
"I know lets move to Japan it was so beautiful minus all the war and stuff but yeah let's go Maria wants to go and I'm not leaving you here alone by the way you should stop smoking I know you're going through a lot but that stuff will kill ya man" Zero suggested

Asgard present day…
Earth's help center
"Let's see so far only 5 calls this year. I'm doing good but not as good as Peorth and so far the wishes were too simple mainly luck in getting the things the mortals quickly wants mainly money. Now lets hope for more wishes to be granted" a mysterious Goddess whispered to herself
"Ooooohhh Hrissssttt how is my precious daughter doing" Goddess first class Frigg wife of Odin called out entering the main room
"Mother! Do not embarrass me like this" Hrist first class Goddess remarked embarrassed by her mother
"Oh don't be so modest child. Do tell me have you found yourself a God yet"
"I keep telling you I'm a battle Valkyrie there is no such thing as love in my life besides all the gods here are full of themselves trying to claim my heart with a show of dominance it disgust me"
"Then how about the mortals Belldandy has found great joy in her husband I'm sure there is a human out there for you"
"Never they're frail creatures her love is a fluke I say its all on luck their happiness won't last long once he passes on then where will that happiness be. But for now leave me be mother I have more wishes to attend too this is bothersome being downgraded from a strong warrior to a call maiden"
"Ok then I'll leave you be" Frigg walked off sadden by her own daughter comment on her happiness
Going back to her domain she wondered if her daughter will find such happiness even being born a battle Goddess she wished for Hrist to settle down. Soon an idea popped into her head looking at her desk she pulls up multiple Holograms of documents deciding on playing matchmaker she searches throughout the array of information.
"Now let's see which mortal man is fit for my daughter. Hmm nope too weak, no no to full of himself, close but not the right one. Gaahh where is a man worthy of my beautiful daughter" Frigg continues being frustrated by the lack of good candidates going through monitors after monitor names after names she comes upon a special file. "Oh what do we have here Nero Ark hmm let's see? He's due for a wish soon lets find out a bit of his life now"
Frigg watching on parts of his life she spots his merits United States Marine Corp Staff Sergeant at a young age, Ended the Pacific Asian war, Force Recon, strong leadership qualities, kind, caring, compassionate, strong combat orient, honest, high integrity.
"Aha he will do now lets see I'll move his name up here once he settles down for a bit I'll have the call come to Hrist. My oh my what adventure will these two bring" smiling with a small giggle Frigg plans for the future these two will meet.
Now begins the second tale of a Goddess and mortal meeting how will these two live their lives as their wheel of fate begins to turn…
