Visari: "My people... Sons and Daughters of Helghan. This much I vow: The history of these days will be written in blood. By crushing the armies of our enemy, by seizing the weapons they thought to turn against us, we were fighting for our very existence. But if there are those who would deny us peace; refuse us our rightful place in the universe, then we will unleash such terrible vengeance that generations yet unborn will cry out in anguish!...
UCBN Newscaster: A spokesperson from ISA High Command had this to say on Visari's latest outburst.
ISA Spokesperson: The Dictator Visari plays a martyr while threatening the peace of the universe
Sevchenko,25, and Cpl. Alex Draken ,23, watches the news when MSgt. Ricardo "Rico" Velasquez,31, come up to them.
Rico:Listening to this shit makes me want break something.
Templar: Hell of a diplomat,Rico.
Jan Templar,40,. The former captain and war hero, now Colonel, walks up to them with Alex's brother,Sgt. Andrew,23, who using robotic braces from his father's company to walk after a bullet from a helghast trooper paralyzed him from the waist.
Rico:Jan!
Sev:(saluting) Col. Templar.
Alex: Templar. Andrew, what bring you here?
Andrew: I came here to give some things before you're off to Helghan t.
He gives him a leather jacket with a design of a wolf howling behind the ISA symbol.(Note: It's the Warwolf emblem from Ace Combat:Assault Horizon)
Alex:Wow. Thanks, Andy. What else do have for me?
Andrew:From Mom,since you like to write,a journal and from Dad,this.
He pulled out a silver ring with an inscription in Latin,(fight like a man,but howl as a wolf)
Alex:But, this is father's? Why is he giving me this?
Andrew: It's his lucky ring. He gave to me to give it you to remember us.
Alex:Thanks. Sorry you couldn't be with us on this one.
Andrew:It's alright. It's not your fault i'm like this. Just stay with them and stay safe.
Templar: He's right but I'm off the field this time,guys. So I'm looking you,Rico and Sev to get it done.
Rico:You know we're on it.
Templar:Good luck to all.
They walked outside to see the ISA cruisers taking off
UCBN Spokesperson: The ISA also confirms that a second wave of the invasion fleet is due to launch imminently. They will arrive in orbit at the Helghan capital in approximately two weeks. By which time, Fleet Commander Templar expects the first wave of the assault force to dealt a decisive blow against Visari's forces. I'm sure we're wishing brave men and women good luck and godspeed. The time for diplomacy has passed. The Helghast don't reason. They started this war when they invaded Vekta and it is up to us to conclude it.
As the ISA fleet reaches Helghan,they quickly take out the cruisers with SNOW missiles. But as they enter Helghan airspace,One of the them is shot down by a powerful energy beam. We're taken down to the carnage of battle. A set of ISA intruders drops off a platoon of soldiers in the thick of battle. Many are killed by the relentless fury of the Helghast.
Scholar Visari:The enemy may shatter our bodies, but they cannot break our spirit. Even now they advance on our home world, to seize by force what they cannot claim by right. They cannot imagine what awaits them.
WE WILL SMITE THE INVADERS FROM OUR SKIES!
Though they sweep over our lands like the sands of winter, never again will we bow before them; never again endure their oppression; never again endure their tyranny. We will strike without warning and without mercy, fighting as one hand, one heart, one soul. We will shatter their dreams and haunt their nightmares, drenching our ancestors' graves with their blood. And as our last breath tears at their lungs; as we rise again from the ruins of our cities... they will know: Helghan belongs to the Helghast."
Meanwhile on Helghan
Same Time:
Radec Academy
Inside a room away from any prying eyes and ears, four people are having a discussion about Visari ,the nuke,and their futures
A 27yrs woman, with short brown hair with the sides shaved,speaks to the group.
Annie:you can't be serious about this,Sheena! You know what they'll do to traitors.
Sheena:I don't care,Annie. I want to be away from all this. There's no telling what he'll do that nuke once he get the codes.
Another man,Ryan Vail'en, the group's field medic, and Shawn Orvo, tactician, wants to speak out against her idea of defection to the ISA but no avail.
Ryan:(Sighs)Fine...I'll do it if Orvo comes with me.
Orvo:I say it a good way to die but what would you guys do without me. I'm in.
Annie: I'm with you all the way, Sheena but if they try it on us,you know what I would do to them.
Sheena:Right,any questions?
None responded.
Sheena:Good,that one thing down,because we have another thing.
Annie:And that is?
Sheena:We have a newcomer joining our unit,her name is Key'ra Valkr.
Orvo:Is she good?
Sheena:(Sighs)She so good that she's all four of us in one. She's a prodigy.
Ryan:The real question is will she join us?
