Hello, my Underground allies! My name is Tony Kurosaki. I am the Rocket Gamer. And welcome to a new edition of Strike Wizards! I'm so glad to be working on this series again, and since it's been a while after the first season, I think it's about time I start a new arc. In this story, we're taking off into what happened to the 501st Joint Fighter Wing after Gallia was finally liberated at the end of season 1.

And to kick things off for the first chapter, everyone, please welcome back these wizards into the series: Brock Macmillen and Craig Reinhardt, or if you know them on YouTube, Moo Snuckel and Mini Ladd!

*applauses*

Hey guys, welcome back! It's been so long since I last seen you guys!

Brock: Yeah, thanks for having us back, man! I've been waiting to see this series to come back!

Craig: Yeah, it's been so long since the last one, but I'm so happy we're here together again!

Tony: And hey, Mini, your hair's natural-colored again. Glad to see that pink hair is out of sight.

Craig: Oh. I didn't know you'd still remember that.

Tony: Yeah, I still remembered. Anyways, now that I have you two here... Why don't we-

WAIT! Don't start without us!

Tony: Huh? Who was that?

Don't start it yet!

Tony: Wait a minute... Lynette? Perrine? Oh my god! Hey, you two! How are things going? I didn't know you two were showing up here!

Lynette: We were kinda running late...

Perrine: Only because you couldn't keep up!

Tony: Alright, ladies. Settle down. You're both here now, it's all good. You may both take a seat.

*both sit beside Brock and Craig*

Tony: Alright! As I was gonna say... Why don't we all get started with this new story?

Brock: Yeah, let's do it.

Craig: Yes, let's go!

Lynette: I'm all set.

Perrine: I'm ready.

Tony: Very well then. BUT FIRST, the disclaimer, of course. Everything of the original work including the light novels, anime, manga and such are created and owned by Shimada Humikane.

Now then, let us fall back into the story of... the Strike Wizards!

A/N: You may have noticed I dropped the 'Hero's Ordeal' title. That's because what I said in the first story was that I was planning on branching out into other fandoms, but now I feel I won't have the time to do so. So, yeah, I guess I'll be staying here now.

Strike Wizards 1.5: The Sky That Connects All of Us

PROLOGUE

September, 1944: The total annihilation of the strange enemy lifeform known only as the "Neuroi", that had taken control over the land of Gallia in Europe, was confirmed. This meant that the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, the Strike Witches, whom of which had the mission to protect Britannia and rescue Gallia, had finally fulfilled their task and were disbanded promptly.

Alongside them, from another universe in the future, known by those witches and the general public in their world, the "Strike Wizards", a crack team of males who are able to utilize magic like their female counterparts, were involved with the 501st's tasks after interference caused by the Neuroi from their universe. Having completed their mission along with the Strike Witches, they all returned to their home dimension, and had hopes that they would be able to meet with the witches again some day.

However, it seemed as if the time for the two units were about to cross each other again, as the Writer had plans to separately send the Wizards across dimensions again to the Witches universe. As for the Strike Witches, some returned to their homelands. Some went on to new battlefields. And others... had other business to attend to.

~Real World Universe, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, Brock's Home, 11:01 A.M.~

Brock Macmillen and Craig Reinhardt were playing a friendly game of mini golf online with each other as they had just reached the 18th hole of the golf courses. Brock and Craig were currently tied together with a score of 67. "Alright, Mini. This is the last hole. You think you'll be able to catch up?" Brock asked.

"Brock, I think I got a good-enough feeling to be able to win this. I'm only a few points away from you, so I don't have anything to worry about here." Craig responded. "Well, you might have a chance, Mini. This last hole doesn't look all that hard." He told him as they both saw what the last course looked like.

"Alright, you ready?" Brock asked. "Yeah, let's start by smashing it." Craig said. They both putt their golf balls at full force, and watched as their balls rolled up a tall vertical curve from one side up and down the other.

Then their golf balls jumped over a couple ramps before they both stop and bump into a wall in front of them.

Up ahead were two curves that both lead to the hole in the middle of the course. They both putt over to the left as they stop just before the right intersection to the hole.

Craig decides to go first and putts by the corner only to stop rolling and sit by the wall. Brock sees this as an opportunity to gain a point and takes the shot by the corner as well.

The putt, unfortunately, doesn't get him anywhere, and instead, rolls his ball back further from where it originally was. "Oh no..." Brock said in disappointment. "Oh, Brock! It's all over." Craig said to him. "Yep, it's all over now. You're winning this, for sure." Brock agreed.

"Okay, in the hole I go." Craig announces as he puts his golf ball into the hole with a par of 5.

Brock thinks of something to save himself from losing as he observes how far his ball is from the hole. He realizes that he'll have to risk hitting the ball at full power in order to reach it.

Going through with the idea, he hits the ball at full power, and he and Craig watch attentively as the ball hits the corner, gains air momentum from colliding into it, bounces into the left wall as it lands, rolls just close to the left of the hole, bumps into the wall behind it, and finally putts inside.

Brock hollers in extreme laughter as he has saved himself with a par of 5 as well. Craig, mouth agape, can't believe what he just saw as the game ends with them now tied with a score of 72. "Oh, son of a...! Well, you know what? I think that shot was honestly amazing, I'll give that to you." Craig complimented. "Oh my god... I can't believe I actually did that. Good game, Mini." Brock said. "Yeah. Good game, Brock. That was fun." Craig said back. They both exit the game as they decide to continue their conversation together.

"So uh, Craig..." Brock spoke. "What, Brock?" Craig asked. "How were things between you and Perrine, before we all left that day?" He questioned. "Perrine? Oh, she and I were kind of going on and off with things and all, especially when you and I remember when Mio got hurt real bad and Perrine, just got completely aggressive on Kona and Yoshika?" Craig said. "Oh, I remember that day. I got so fed up with Perrine's attitude, I thought had to do something to show that I wasn't going to deal with what she was doing anymore." Brock remembered.

"And I had to come in and stop it from getting any worse before Kona ran out of the room." Craig reminded. "Yeah, I got pretty carried away there." He admitted. "Well, did you two make up or something after that?" Brock asked. "Well, yeah, pretty much. She was still being defensive and all, but, we were able to work something out." He told him. "What about you, Brock. Anything between you and Lynette before we left?" Craig asked. "*sighs* Lynne... How quickly it all went for us to be together." Brock spoke.

"She's so sweet, man. I am always grateful to be around her whenever she needed help." He continued. "Yeah, you were her guardian angel for sure." Craig said. "Hey, she can handle things on her own as well. Don't think that she can't." Brock called him out. "Whoa, Brock. I didn't mean it that way! I was just saying you take really good care of her." He confessed. "Oh... Well in that case, you should try and take really good care of Perrine when you see her again." Brock said. "Yeah..." Craig answered.

"*sighs* You know something, Mini..." Brock spoke. "What?" Craig asked. "It's been almost a month since we last saw them. Lynette and Perrine. The rest of the Strike Witches." Brock said. "Yeah, a month is a long time when you think about it." Craig responded. "And even then, I still miss them..." Brock said in woe. "I miss them, too, Brock. I miss them, too." Craig woefully said as well. Then as they were thinking of Lynette and Perrine, Brock thought of something. "Hey, Craig." He called. "What is it, Brock?" He asked.

"I just got an idea. Do you still have the Writer's phone number?" He asks Craig. "Yeah..." He responded. "Why don't we give him a call and see if he can teleport us over the Witches' world so we can see Lynne and Perrine again?" He suggested. "That, sounds like a good idea. Let's give it a try." Craig agreed. Brock dials the number '303' on his keypad and calls up the Writer. "Hello? Who's this?" The Writer spoke over the call. "Is this the Writer?" Brock asked. "Yeah, and who's calling?" The Writer asked.

"It's me. Brock Macmillen. You know, of the Strike Wizards?" He told him. "Macmillen? Strike Wizards? Oh, Brock, hello! Wow, it's been a while since I've heard from you. How are things going?" The Writer asked. "Oh. Everything's going good. I just wanted to talk to you about something." Brock said. "Yeah? Well, what's up?" The Writer asked. "Well, I know it's been about a month since we liberated Gallia from the Neuroi and all. Oh, that reminds me. Any reports of the Neuroi attacking us wizards at some point?" Brock said.

"Nope, nothing from the Neuroi as of now. Thanks for asking me about it. I'll be sure to contact you and the rest of the wizards when they interfere again." The Writer assured him. "Oh, good. Anyways, it's been a while since Craig Reinhardt and I saw the witches, and um, we're missing them. We were hoping if you would be able to transport us from here to their world so that we could see them again." Brock request. "Brock, say no more. I'll be glad to teleport you and Craig over to the Witches' world to see them once again." The Writer told him.

"Oh, thank you, Writer!" Brock thanked him. "It's my pleasure. Now, if you need to get packing, I can wait. Just call me back and I'll send you to up into the rift to meet with me." The Writer told him. "Alright, we'll see you then." Brock said, ending the call and going back to talk with Craig. "Mini." He called. "Yeah, Brock?" He asked. "Get your stuff ready. We're going to see Lynne and Perrine again!" Brock told him. "We are?! Oh shit! This is gonna be exciting!" Craig said in anticipation.

"Okay, I'll go grab my stuff! I'll see you on the outside!" Craig bid him later for the time being. "Yeah, you too." Brock replied as they ended their video chat and ran into their rooms, grabbed their necessary belongings and packed them all into their backpacks before they ran outside, suited up into their Striker units, fired them up, and contacted each other again through their phones. "Okay. You ready, Mini?" Brock asked Craig. "Let's do this, Brock." Craig replied. "Alright." Brock then dials the Writer again as he answers with: "Hello?"

"Writer, Craig and I are all set. Beam us up!" Brock ordered. "Alright. I'm opening a portal for both of you right now. Get ready to go!" The Writer announced as on cue, the portal to the dimensional rift opens, prompting both Brock and Craig to fly inside. The portals close behind them as they look to their side to find each other once again. "Brock!" Craig called as he approached him. "Mini!" Brock called back. They both hug each other after having not seen each other in person for a while.

"Gentlemen. Good to see you again." The Writer greeted them. "Good to see you again, too, Writer." Brock greeted him back. "So, you two want to see the witches again?" He asks them. "Well, actually... We wanted to see Lynette and Perrine, specifically." He explained. "Ah, Bishop and Clostermann, huh? Well then, let me see what their up to... Hmm... It appears that their both currently hard at work rebuilding Gallia from the destruction caused by the Neuroi." The Writer informs them. "They're in Gallia?" Craig asked. "Yes they are." The Writer responded.

Brock and Craig look at each other, then nods to one another as they both say to the Writer in unison: "Take us there now!" "You two sure?" He asked. "Yes." They reply immediately. "Alright, I'll open up a portal to send you there. Until then... Enjoy your trip!" The Writer says as he opens a portal that will lead them back into the witches' world. "Thanks! See you around!" "Yeah, thanks! Take care!" Brock and Craig thank him as they both fly into the portal.

Next stop: Gallia!

Chapter 1: The Reconstruction of Gallia

~Strike Witches Universe, Gallia, 11:01 A.M.~

Former flight sergeant and flying officers Lynette Bishop and Perrine H. Clostermann, were currently thinking about all that had happened last month when they, alongside the other witches and the Strike Wizards, were combating the Neuroi-infused Warlock, commissioned by now-former Air Marshal Trevor Maloney.

"I'm scared, too." Lynette spoke in mid-conversation with Perrine. "But… I'm more afraid of not being able to do anything." She admitted. "Yoshika and Kona were always prepared to face hardships as long as they thought there was something they could do. I wasn't sure about this either, but, I think Brock wouldn't have given up either, just like them. Even if they were inexperienced… If they were novices… They'd always do their best and never give up…" She said.

"That's why… I'll never give up either!" She proclaimed as she stared up at the sky. "Because that's…" Lynne says as Perrine turns to look at her. "That's the bond that brings me, Yoshika, Kona and Brock together!" She finished, smiling. Perrine then starts to remember back when it seemed that when all hope was lost, Kona and Yoshika weren't willing to give in.

Flashback

"Mio, you need to hold your ground. Yoshika and I will fly for you!" Kona tells her. "Sergeants! That is not a decision for either of you to make." She responded. "Fine! But we're not ready to give up!" Yoshika said. "Who's giving up?" Mio asked.

"You if you try and fly that thing! You're still too weak to fight. And if you can't fight then that means, it means we're giving up and Kona and I can't do that! Not without at least putting up a fight! I made a promise to protect you!" Yoshika tells her.

She then turns to Kona, to tell him something along as to what she said to Mio. "And Kona, Craig told you that you weren't fighting just to protect everyone like I am. You, no, all of you guys! Kona, Craig, Tony, Will, Brock, Brian, Tyler, Johnny, Lui, Logan, David! All of you guys were fighting to save everyone, including us!" She said to them as well.

Kona nods and turns to Mio, saying: "Yeah! Yoshika's right, Mio! We all came here not just to protect you all, but save you from harms way! You were counting on me that night. Yoshika and I did what had to be done and now it's about time we fulfill that commitment to the very end!"

"You're right…" Perrine responded to Lynne. "If Miyafuji and Shinkawa heard we're losing heart over something like this, they'd probably laugh at us…" She said. Then all of a sudden, someone came from behind and held them in their arms.

"That's right, you two! Cheer up!" She shouted beside them. "Wha…?! Where did you come from all of a sudden!? Or rather…! W-who are you!?" Perrine inquired in startlement. "Oh my, seems like I startled you. I'm sorry! I'm…" The woman apologized before Lynette recognizes who she is.

"Wilma!? Why are you here?" She asked her. "Wilma? Lynne, is this your sister!?" Perrine asked in shock. "Hello, hello! Nice to meet you, I'm Lynne's big sister, Wilma Bishop! I used to be a witch in the Faraway Land Air Force." She introduced herself.

"Thanks for always looking after my little sister, Miss Bleu Premier!" She thanked Perrine, bowing in respect. "Ah, no no. I am pleased to meet you as well." Perrine replied stammeringly, as she bowed back to Wilma. "B-but I do mean to ask… What brings you here?!" She asked.

"Ha ha, well, the reason is very simple. I heard my cute little sister was working hard down here in Gallia, so I came to cheer her on! I'm her big sister after all!" Wilma explained as she pats Lynette on the head in earnest.

"And… I didn't come here alone either!" She further spoke as she then points towards the sky. Suddenly, there were audible sounds of Striker units in motion as there were numerous witches that had just arrived to Gallia.

"Thi- This is…!?" Lynne uttered in awe as she and Perrine looked up at the sky. They saw many witches with the Britannian and Gallian roundels emblazoned onto the Striker units. "Amazing…" Perrine emitted. "So many Britannian and Gallian witches…!" Lynne said.

Suddenly… "Flying officer Perrine!" Perrine turns to her right as one witch flew right into her in mid-flight. "W-who…!?" Perrine muttered before she finally sees who bumped into her. "Amelie!? Amelie Planchard!?" She said the witch's name. "It's been such a long time, Flying officer Perrine!" Amelie greeted her.

"I've been longing to see you!" She told Perrine as she hugged her tightly. "W-wait Amelie...! I can't breath…!" Perrine voiced as she tried to break free. "Uhh… Wilma?" Lynette asked her sister, wondering who that is with Perrine is.

"Ah ha ha ha, she's an old friend of Perrine's!" She told her in flatterment. "Amelie, me and all the others heard about what you were doing here, so we decided to come along!" She further explained as she then pulled out a newspaper.

"Read this!" She said, handing over the paper over to Lynette. She looks inside and gasps in surprise as she finds something that had caught her eye. It also catches Perrine's attention while she was still trying to get Amelie off of her.

They both saw the headline of the article, in which it read: "Reconstructing Gallia! A big first step taken by these small witches!" It also showed a photo of them replanting a tree. "Ah ha ha ha! Everyone back home is talking about you two nowadays!" Wilma laughed in content.

"This led to the public opinion being more and more supportive of Gallia… So in the end, even the higher-ups in the Army felt they were forced to do something!" She told them. "Well, I guess they also have the intention of strengthening their influence in the area, but… Both of your efforts… are what made everyone act." She spoke.

The two of them stand in place as they're both amazed to learn how much impact they've made for everyone to help the cause. "The people… The army… and the country…" She finished. "It wasn't all for nothing. All the things you've done…" She added. Perrine almost starts to cry in earnest before Wilma gets up from her seat and walks over to her and Lynne.

She puts her arms around both of them once again as she spoke: "Stop! Hold it! It's a little too early to cry already, isn't it?! Come on! Everyone is waiting for your orders!" Lynette and Perrine recompose themselves as they all stare at the other Britannian/Gallian witches, eagerly waiting for the two to give them all their first order of business.

"You should… save those tears until the day a new light shines over Gallia." Wilma suggested to Perrine. Perrine looked back up to the sky, holding back her tears as she happily responds: "Yes…" She starts to walk off with Amelie Planchard by her side as Lynette finish things up with her sister.

"And Lynne… In the short time that I haven't seen you, you've become quite dependable, huh? To be honest, I'm surprised." Wilma says as she pats her head. "It's because I'm not alone…" Lynette responds, giving Wilma a confused look. "Even if we're separated right now… I know that I will always have my dear friend… That's why… I was able to change." She admitted.

"I see…" Wilma understood. Suddenly, the wind started blowing furiously behind the two of them for an unknown reason. "Huh? Why is the wind blowing so fast?" Lynette asked in confusion. "Ah… Lynne, look! Up in the sky!" Wilma told her, pointing to the sky. "Hey, there's something that's opening up from the sky!" Perrine shouted as the wind continued to blow.

At that moment, a portal opened up from the sky as two figures emerged from up above. As the portal closed above them, both of the figures appeared to be flying with Striker units of their own. Not only that, but they also appeared to be of the male gender. Lynette and Perrine tried to examine who the two people were, before they both recognize who they were.

"Perrine, are they...?!" Lynette asked. "Yes! Could it be…?!" Perrine questioned in wonderment as the two figures flew over them and landed safely onto the land of Gallia. "*breathes, then exhales* Feels good to be back, right, Craig?" One of the gentlemen spoke. "Yep, it sure does, Brock. It really does feel good to be back." The other said as he stretched himself out. They both disengage from their Striker units they both heard two people call out their names. "Ah...! Brock!" Lynette called as she ran to him. "Craig!" Perrine called as she, too, ran to him.

Brock and Craig turn around before they get tackled down onto the ground. Brock has his face mostly smothered by Lynne's breasts as she hugs him tightly in her arms. Perrine wraps herself over Craig as he hugs her back after recognizing her. "Perrine, my god!" Craig said. "Craig, you're back!" Perrine exclaimed as she started tearing up. "Brock! I missed you so much! I can't believe you're back!" Lynette said to him. "It's great to see you again, Lynne." Brock greeted her with a kiss on her forehead.

"Well now, haven't you two gone head over heels..." Wilma said behind them. Lynette and Perrine looked behind to see her and immediately got off of Brock and Craig, allowing them to stand up. "Umm, Wilma. We would like you to meet two boys that are dear to our hearts. They're a part of the Strike Wizards that I've been messaging to you about." Lynette said to her sister. "Brock, Craig. I would like to introduce you to my older sister, Wilma Bishop. Wilma, this is Craig Reinhardt, he's the one who's dating Perrine. This one right here is my boyfriend, Brock Macmillen." She introduced them.

"Well, I never thought the day I meet these 'Strike Wizards' would ever come! It's an honor to finally have the chance to meet the two of you! My name is Wilma Bishop! I am, of course, Lynne's older sister, and former witch of the Faraway Land Air Force." She introduced herself. "Uh... Faraway Land?" Brock and Craig asked. "It's located just up North from Liberion." Wilma explained. "Liberion is America, so that would make Faraway Land... Canada, eh?" Brock figured while joking at the same time.

"*laughs* Brock, you're a funny guy, but just.. Wow! I didn't see that one coming! Good one." Craig laughed. "Um, what's so funny?" Wilma asked. "Wilma, didn't you remember what I wrote to you about them? They're from another world in the future." Lynette reminded her. "Huh? Oh! I forgot about the portal that was up in the sky earlier. My apologies! Is that what you just said, referring to Faraway Land?" She asked. "Yeah, our nations' names differ a lot. We could explain them to you, but do you want to do that another time?" Brock asked.

"Yes, let's talk about that for another time. Anyways, it's really nice to actually meet you two. I thought the Strike Wizards this whole time would be nothing but myths but then came you two." Wilma admitted. "It's nice to meet you, too, Wilma." Brock said to her. "Ah! Excuse me!" Someone said. "Who was that?" Craig asked before a witch had flown right in front of them. "Whoa, hello! I, uh... Yes?" He asked the witch. "Are you two actually part of the supposed Strike Wizards?" She asked. "Yes, we are of the Strike Wizards." Brock answered.

"*gasps* You are?! Please, tell me! What are your names?!" She pleaded. "I'm Brock Macmillen and he's Craig Reinhardt." He introduced themselves to her. "It's an honor to actually to meet you Strike Wizards!" She bowed in respect. "Hey, calm down there, okay? You're not in danger." Brock said to her. "I'm sorry, it's just so sudden for me to meet real wizards like you!" She confessed. "Oh. Well, could you tell us what your name is?" Brock asked. "M-My name is Amelie Planchard. I'm a close friend of flying officer Perrine." She told them as she pointed to her.

"Oh. Well then, it's nice to meet you, Amelie." Craig greeted her as he and Brock shook hands with her. "It's nice to meet you, too, Brock and Craig." Amelie replied. "Brock?" "Craig?" Lynette and Perrine called to them. "Yeah?" They both respond. "So what brings you both back here to our world?" Perrine asked. "Well, we felt like it's been quite a while since we last saw each other, and we both thought it'd be a good idea to visit and see how you were doing." Craig answered.

"Yeah. It has been a while since we last saw each other. We didn't know how long it would take for us to see you guys. But we're glad to see you both again now. Welcome back, both of you." Lynette said as she and Perrine both hugged Brock and Craig. "I see you both have made it quite clear that you really love these two." Wilma said as she approached them. "Yes, Wilma. It's true. We love them very much." Lynette tells her. "Perrine, you and Craig enjoy yourselves, okay?" Wilma said to her. "We will. Thank you, Wilma." Perrine replied.

"And Brock..." She spoke to him. "Yes?" He asks, before she immediately gives him a quick kiss on his forehead. "Take good care of my little sister for me, alright?" She tells him, winking at him. "Wilma, why did you do that?" Lynette asked in surprise. "Don't take it too seriously. It's just a good luck kiss for him, Lynne!" Wilma explained. "Oh, I see..." Lynne spoke in relief. "Hey, Brock. Lynne. I think we better get going." Perrine told them. "Why, Perrine?" Brock asked. "I think it's time for Lynne and I to get back to rebuilding Gallia. And it should be time for you and Craig to join us." She answered.

"And I think all the other witches up in the sky right now would like to be able to meet you two as well." She added as he and Craig looked up at the sky again, where the other Britannian/Gallian witches were looking down at them all, waiting for orders. "Ah... Right..." Brock said. "Well then, Lynne, you better work hard." Wilma said as she winked at her. "Yes!" Lynne responded as she closed her eyes and nodded back in earnest. "And Brock, don't forget what I told you." She spoke to him. "I'll take good care of her, Wilma. Don't worry." Brock responded as he held Lynne around his arm.

"Good. Until we meet again. I'll see you guys around!" Wilma said, waving goodbye as Brock and Craig started to leave with the witches. "Yeah, see you, Wilma." Craig said goodbye and turned around to head off with Perrine and the others before Wilma called back to them. "Brock! Craig! Wait!" She shouted to them. "What is it, Wilma?" Brock asked. "Be sure to let the Strike Wizards know that I said: 'Hi'!" She requested. Brock and Craig nod at each other before waving back to her. "We'll let them know. Thanks for asking." Brock assured her. "Goodbye, Wilma!" They both said to her.

"Farewell, you two! Enjoy spending your time with Perrine and my little sister, Lynne!" Wilma said, waving goodbye as they left. "See you, Wilma!" Lynette said goodbye before turning back and heading out with the others, holding onto Brock's arm as they walked off. 'Yoshika... Kona... We'll do our best... Even if we're separated right now, that we formed during those days will last forever. Until the day we all meet again...' Lynette spoke in her mind as they all left.

Later that day…

~Remains of the City of Paris, Gallia, 12:45 P.M.~

Brock and Craig were currently helping the people of Gallia rebuild the city by flying in their Striker units to help with workers building on higher ground while Perrine was giving out orders to the workers down in the lower grounds. "Perrine, Brock, Craig!" Lynette called out to them as they turned around. "Lunch is ready! Perhaps it's time to take a break soon?" She informed them. The three nod at each other, agreeing it's time they take a break. "Alright! That's enough for now! Everyone, it's time for lunch break! We will continue in an hour. Rest well, and we'll see you again this afternoon!" Perrine announced to the workers.

Brock and Craig shake hands with the workers as they all begin to leave for lunch. The wizards then disengage from their units and begin to head off with Lynette and Perrine for lunch as well. The four of them sit by a tree and started to eat some sandwiches from out of their picnic basket.

Perrine blushes after taking a bite out of one of the sandwiches, astonished of its taste. "This is good…" She spoke as Lynne stopped eating to hear what she said. "Really?" She asked. "Yes… The smoked salmon and the cheese in this bagel are really quite." Perrine complemented, enlightening Lynette. "Yeah, this is pretty good, Lynne. I like it." Brock complemented as well.

"I like it, too." Craig added. "Ah! There's still a lot left, so eat as much as you want!" Lynette responded in earnest. "Yes. Thank you." "Yeah, I hear you." "Yeah, thanks." Perrine, Brock and Craig thank her. "I'm really glad you all like it. Especially you, Perrine." Lynette said to them, pausing Perrine before she could take another bite out of her sandwich.

"I-I just… I-I just mean… that at least I can trust your cooking, and sharpshooting! B-But that's all! You still have a long way to go when it comes to other things! So be sure to keep honing your skills!" She quickly responded in embarrassment, causing Lynne and the wizards to giggle in response.

"Ah, right. This reminds me… Perrine, I was thinking I might try to make some fuso cuisine for tomorrow's dinner." Lynette remembered. "Fuso?" Perrine asked. "Yes, I was thinking I might try making 'onigiri', a kind of rice meal that is easy to carry. Yoshika taught me how to make them way back when. Don't you remember, too, Brock? You and Kona watched her make it as well." Lynette said. "Yeah, I think I remember a little bit about that." He told her. "Ah… Major Sakamoto often made those." Perrine said before she stops eating to remind herself about what she just said.

"Major Sakamoto…" She spoke. "When will I be able to… show Gallia to Major Sakamoto? How long… will it take? I wonder…" She pondered. "I think she'll appreciate the efforts whenever she comes around." Craig said. "I'm sure she would, Craig. But unfortunately, we can't say the reconstruction work is going as well as it should. Workers… material… and time. We're short on everything." Perrine responds to his statement. "Are we… Are we really going to make it…? Can we… really reconstruct Gallia?" She questioned deeply. Lynette starts to fuss before she reminds her of something.

"Perrine." She said. "Yoshika once told me: 'Fighting the Neuroi is scary… But I'm more afraid of just sitting idly by doing nothing'." She spoke. "I remember. That day when Kona and Yoshika broke out to confront that Neuroi they saw that other day. They didn't want to stay in without knowing and they pushed forward no matter what happened to them." Brock chimed in. "Yeah, Brock. You and I were there to try and stop them from taking off, but they kept their word and that they needed to do what they had to do." Lynne said.

"So, what if we're low on resources right now? I mean sure, we don't have enough, and it'll take longer to rebuild Gallia from the ground up, but we can't just throw all of this effort away! We have to keep going forward! Never give up!" Brock said with his fist in the air. "Brock... You're right. Rebuilding Gallia from the ground up is taking longer than it should. But, there's no good to come out of giving up! We must keep going! For who's know what will happen if we left Gallia looking like this?" Perrine agreed, now convinced to keep going.

"Yeah! Perrine, now you're getting in the spirit!" Brock said to her. "Lynne. Are you gonna keep moving forward with us?" He asked her. "Yeah! I won't give up! Come on, why don't we all get right to work?" Lynette said, now persuaded to the cause. "Alright ladies! Now we're getting into business." Craig said to them. "Now then, with lunch now over with. Let's get to work!" Brock said as he puts his hand up in the air. "YEAH!" Craig and the witches shout as they all high-five each other.

Brock and Craig suit back up into their Striker units, give Lynette and Perrine a quick kiss on the cheeks and fly ahead of them to the workplace, with them following right below and behind them.

END OF CHAPTER...

Ending Theme (Brock's Theme): Calvin Harris ft. Nicky Romero - Iron

Tony: Alright, that is it for the first chapter of Strike Wizards 1.5! Your thoughts, guys?

Brock: Man, I feel excited all over now that the series is back again!

Craig: It's a good start, wonder what's up next?

Tony: Well, you two, Lynne and Perrine will be back at some point, but for now, this will be it. Gentlemen, ladies? Would you please close out the chapter for our readers.

Brock: Yeah.

Craig: Yep, can do.

Lynette/Perrine: Of course!

Brock: Alright, guys. So, that's gonna do it for the first chapter of Strike Wizards 1.5, thanks so much for reading it.

Craig: Be sure to follow and favorite the story if you enjoyed. Leave a comment/review down below and as Tony always says: Constructive criticism is always welcome!

Lynette: Don't forget to check out Tony's YouTube channel. He's kind of taking a break from making videos, because I've been hearing that there's a lot of problems going on with the website that he's not feeling comfortable to upload anything at the moment, but do support him by subscribing to him, if you would like. Be sure to also check out Brock and Craig's channel! Links to their channels will be in the profile page!

Perrine: Tony's social media links will be in the profile page as well, so be sure to check those out as well to see what he's been up to.

Tony: And uh, sorry for not keeping my promises. This and Ardor Wizards had to be delayed due to high school-related matters and such. But anyways the first chapter for this story is finally complete and I can't wait to get working on the next one. Also, the prologue scene is based off of two videos from both Brock and Craig, so I'll leave the titles of the videos down at the very end of the chapter for you to search! With that said, join me next time when we see Johnny "Delirious" Vetterlein and Lui Calibre meet again with Shirley E. Yeager and Francesca Lucchini in the African desert, and the introduction of a new wizard.

And since this happened over the few weeks while I was working on this: Happy Birthday to Junko Takei of the 504th: Ardor Witches, Heidemarie W. Schnaufer, and last but not least, Happy Birthday Shirley and Eila! Can't wait to see you guys when we get to the later chapters in the story. So that's gonna do it for this chapter! Until next time, I'm the Rocket Gamer,

Brock: I am Moo Snuckel,

Craig: My name is Mini Ladd,

And as always lads, follow, favorite, all that stuff... We'll talk to you all in the next one!
