Hello. I am back to finally continue Operation Geronimo. Sorry for the wait. Due to school, writer's block, and my other story, Titans and Angels, I have been busy. But I'm glad to post a new chapter.

First, reviews:

Gamerman22: It's nice to know some more info about the special forces, especially on one of their mottos. I am trying to make one up for these infantry witches, although I don't know latin. And I really don't trust Google Translate. But glad to know!

Danger close: Glad you are loving it. I have a cousin I know in the military (Army mechanic) that is deployed and a friend of mine who's older than me that served during his deployment in Afghanistan. So my respect for infantry is high up there (let alone the military in general). And I totally respect the airborne as well, especially for their bravery during Operation Market Garden and others. As for Carlos Hathcock, I have great respect for the man, being a legendary sniper. That's why I paid tribute to the man in this fic.

HistoryAnonymous: Thanks for the review. I fixed up the necessary things that you pointed out. Wilma and Danny have now been changed from training with the 101st to now the 82nd. However, I also want to point out some things myself.

Danny has received her basic infantry witch training with the Army Rangers, with only a few separate courses of Airborne training with the 504th of the 82nd. Also, I assumed (or made it in this story) that the 75th has been formed during this time period. I would suspect the need for more men to combat the neuroi threat. After all these are miasma-shooting aliens, not the nazis (Although, the nazis were pretty bad too). So I figured that the rush for new elite infantry units would force the formation of the 75th Rangers.

As for the 503rd, I just made them pair up with the 82nd. As far as I know, there is no neuroi presence in the pacific, as Liberion hasn't been attacked in Pearl Harbor (unlike the real world counterpart) and Fuso has only encountered the neuroi in their area during the Fuso Sea Incident of '37 (A/N, thanks for Gamerman22 for fixing my mistake of it being '37). Because of this, I decided that the 503rd is to be paired up with the 82nd due to the lack of neuroi in the area of Asia, since the neuroi threat is only in Europe and Africa at the moment.

Nonetheless, your review has greatly helped my understanding of the airborne, and will be put to great use. Thanks for the info!

Anyways, thanks for the reviews! Please keep 'em coming since they do help me write (especially in motivation!).

Now, time for the story!

Chapter 3: Discovery

Jane was fast asleep. She slept silently and calmly upon Jackie's lap, wrapped in the army-wool blanket. She quietly murmured things in her sleep, continuing her blissful slumber. The sun was already out, peeking through the cracks of the barn door.

Poke.

"Mmmm..." Jane kept sleeping.

Poke Poke.

"Hmmmm... Huh?" Jane slowly sat up, her eyes adjusting to the light. "I swear... Danielle, if you are the one who's..."

Jane then finally opened her eyes. In front of her face was Jackie's face, who was right in front of her face. Awfully close to her face.

The two stared at each other for a moment, not sure how to speak. Finally, Jackie spoke up.

"Erm... well, morning Jane. You're awfully close... heh..." Jackie smirked. She had a bit of a blush on her face. Jane was turning a shade of crimson.

"J-Jackie... I-I..." Jane stuttered. She immediately got off of Jackie's lap, sitting next to her with embarrassment all over her.

"U-Uh..." Jane tried to form a sentence, but she couldn't formulate the words. The two heard giggling. They looked to see most of the 45th looking at them, cracking smiles.

"Looks like the two love-birds woke up." Hathcock smirked, sitting down. The two blushed a bright red.

"Shut it, John..." Jackie replied with a growl. Hathcock just laughed even more. Audrey, Fran, Danny, and Wilma smiled at the duo. The two decided to join the squad, who were sitting around the once-burning fire that now was reduced to smoking ashes.

"Are we heading out?" Jane asked, stretching, calming down. Jackie yawned, ruffling her cropped orange hair.

"Indeed, sergeant." Captain Speirs said. He was eating a packed ration while taking a glance at his map. Everyone was eating through the rations they had. Wilma handed the two Brittainians rations for them to eat, which they accepted graciously.

Jane smelled inside of her package before taking the breakfast portion of her K-ration. She opened up her canned ham and eggs. Although the smell and look wasn't of fresh-quality breakfast, she dug into her meal. A bit too chewy for the ham, but decent nonetheless. Next to her, Jackie and Wilma were washing down their meals with their canteens. Audrey was sharing her oatmeal mix with Fran, which the two munched on.

"Alright Cap," Danny said, finishing her canned ham. "Where now?"

"Well, on the map, we are right around here." Spiers displayed the map for all to see. He pointed to a empty space amidst a large forest, showing what was the barn and house they currently were at.

"Right now, we are currently one kilometer from the suspected search radius for our witch. We'll do a trek through the forest till we reach this town here." He pointed to a town that was at the edge of the circle.

"Afterwards, we just continue searching for our downed witch, looking through these towns here," He pointed to a few more towns on the map

"Hopefully our witch is smart enough to be taking shelter at any of these towns. Got it?"

"Sir, what if she's not in those towns? They could be occupied by the neuroi." Audrey said. Speirs just sighed before replying.

"Well, then we'll have to search through the entire forest. Our mission is to get that witch back, and that's what we must do." Everyone nodded to his statement.

"Alright, let's pack up and move out."

Everyone got their gear and began to head out. Hathcock pushed the barn door out with a bit of effort. Outside, the snow was thickly matted down onto the ground. Everywhere they saw was white. Even the trees looked like they were going to fall over from the amount of snow on them.

"Wow... so much snow..." Wilma said in awe.

"This is way more than any snowstorm back home..." Audrey added.

"I'm glad we took shelter in that barn." Danny said. "But, that downed witch..."

"That's more the reason to quickly find her." Spiers said. "Let's go find that witch."

"Right!"

Two hour later...

The squad continued their trek through the forest. The sky was clear as the sun brought warm rays down to them. Still, the cold nipped at them. Their breaths were shown in white puffs as she marched through the thick, deep snow. Everyone was silent along the march, cautiously eyeing the surroundings for any neuroi. A couple times, they saw a neuroi scout high in the sky. Thankfully, the thick forest protected them from sight. So they continued their trek.

Audrey was at the front of the group, next to Captain Spiers. Her familiar features were out as she used her magic antennae to scan the surroundings for movement. Nothing besides what she figured were small creatures moving about. Her tail just waved back and forth as she marched.

Absolute silence.

"Is it just me, or is it weird that we haven't seen any neuroi movement?" Danny whispered. She aimed her .50 cal around in a sweep.

"Same. I'm getting weird vibes from this..." Hathcock replied.

"Audrey, have you detected anything yet?" Fran asked.

"Besides wild animals, no." Audrey said. "Captain, this is really weird. Wouldn't there be more neuroi considering that we're in Karlsland territory?"

"I'd agree to that, but we have no idea what those neuroi have up their sleeve." Spiers replied as he studied the map. "Alright, we should be approaching the road leading to the closest town."

As they moved through the forest, the came up to a narrow, snow-covered dirt road. Patches of dirt were visible through the white snow, damp from the frost. The group began to walk along the road in a low crouch, making themselves small. They moved silently. Quietly.

"I see the town..." Audrey said in a low voice. The squad had reached the top of a hill that overlooked the town. Everyone crouched to see the town ahead of them. It was a fairly small town. And it was completely barren. Even the neuroi weren't present in this little ruin of humanity.

"Audrey, do you sense anything in the town?" Spiers asked. Audrey shook her head.

"Nothing. This is really weird."

"Agreed... but let's check that town first. Maybe we'll get lucky and find our witch."

Spiers signaled the squad to advance. The group quietly and sneakily descended into the town, awaiting for a surprise attack. Yet nothing came. No neuroi. Only the remains of what humanity left behind, now covered in snow. Cars. Wagons. Clothes. Toys. They all walked through the town's streets, narrowly going through abandoned neighborhoods and shops.

Fran saw a teddy bear laying on the ground. Only it's head stood out from the snow, with its ears on the verge of falling off from the seams. It was a dirty brown color. Fran dug it up from the snow. The rest was the same. It had a missing arm, which gray-brown, soggy cotton came out from it's socket. Audrey saw the sadness in Fran's eyes as she put it on top of a rusted-out car before rejoining the group.

The squad split up into small groups to search the buildings. Each time, they came up empty-handed. No witch to be rescued. No neuroi. Just ruins.

"Anything? Even footprints or notes?" Danny asked.

"Nothing. Our witch isn't here. Figures." Hathcock grumbled.

"Nothing's here." Spiers announced. "Let's get a move up to the next-"

"Captain!" Audrey said. Her magic antennae were up, but were a red color than the usual green.

"I've got something coming close to the town! Most likely neuroi!" On cue, everyone heard the distant 'drone' sound in the air.

"Everyone, into the buildings!" Spiers commanded with a hushed voice. Everyone herded themselves into the nearest building. Audrey, Spiers, and Fran laid low in an abandoned coffee shop. On the other side of the street were Wilma, Danny, Hathcock, Jane, and Jackie, hiding inside a tailor shop.

Immediately, two drones hovered around the town. They were awfully big to be drones, being the size of cars than the traditional soccer-ball-size. They hovered around the area. Searching for something. Or someone.

"Those are some big drones..." Danny muttered as she tightened her grip on her machine gun.

"They look like they are searching for something." Wilma added as she lay next to her Liberion friend.

"Or someone." Jane said. "Maybe they got a trail on the downed witch?"

Everyone heard another sound as a third drone appeared into view. It floated next to the two neuroi, seeming to converse with each other. With a screech, the third drone left as it quickly flew away. Meanwhile, the two neuroi drones were continuing their search, inspecting the buildings with a careful eye (or whatever peripheral vision they had as aliens). As they hovered, the neuroi were coming closer and closer to the squad's position.

"Scheiße, they're coming closer..." Fran muttered.

"Do we fire?" Wilma asked. Everyone was giving unsure looks.

"There's no way to flank those drones." Jane said. She kept watch on the drones, who were inspecting a run-down store a few blocks from them. The only way past them was through the main avenue. Where those drones were.

"Everyone, stay low and find better cover." Spiers ordered. "If we shoot, we'll be heard for miles."

Everyone then got into better cover as the neuroi drones hovered to inspect. Audrey hid behind an overturned table as the neuroi inspected their coffee shop. She could see Fran behind the countertop next to Captain Spiers, both with their guns in hand. Audrey felt her heart race a bit faster as she heard the hum of the drones as they hovered closer. Her breath formed white trails into the cold air. Audrey shifted her position to get a better viewpoint as she slowly moved back and towards the edge of the table, hugging along it. She peered over the edge to glance at the neuroi drones.

Crunch.

Audrey felt as if the world just stopped as the sound echoed out from the store.

Audrey looked in horror at the direction of where the sound came. She lifted her right foot to display the broken remains of a piece of a coffee mug. The little flakes of clay were powdered on her boot while the shard of the mug laid there in fractured pieces. Suddenly, a low hum was emitted. She could sense one of the drones inspecting the coffee shop with a much more attentive eye than before. Audrey tucked herself in even further, trying her best to align herself with the back of the table. Her breath was growing faster as she felt the drone coming closer. The feeling of dread took over as more white puffs of breath came from her mouth. She was covered in a cold sweat. Despite it being freezing, Audrey felt like the world was becoming an oven.

She immediately covered her mouth in fear that her breathing would reveal her. In the corner of her eye, she could see the fear on Fran's face. Fran could only hide and watch in horror as the drone kept inching closer to the broken window, eyeing the store carefully. It gave a low, shrill shriek as the other drone accompanied it to search for the source of the noise.

Crash.

Audrey froze as another noise was heard in the distance. The drones heard it as well as they focused their attention somewhere else. Audrey looked over the table carefully to see the drones now hovering over to a broken window of a store down the avenue. The glass was freshly broken into, with some bits falling off the already-worn glass pane. The drones began to inspect the store front for any movement.

"Sergeant Cosens."

Audrey turned to face Captain Spiers, accompanied with Fran.

"We're getting outta here. Let's move quick." The captain said in a hushed tone. Audrey noticed the others across the street carefully making their way out of their location, scurrying from the two distracted drones. Audrey nodded, and the three followed suit with the rest of the 45th. Within a matter of minutes, the squad rounded the corner and made their way out of the town.

Coming into a grove of pines, everyone stopped to catch their breath. Audrey took deep breaths to calm herself as she sat down next to a big pine. She took off her helmet to comb through her hair.

"Crap... I-I'm sorry, guys. I-I..." Audrey was nervous, still filled with adrenaline and fear from earlier. She gulped before trying to catch her breath once more.

"Relax, Audrey." Fran said, patting her friend's back.

"N-No... I almost blew the mission..."

"Forget about it, Cosens. Just be glad we're all safe. Ease up, okay?" Spiers said. He took a glance at his map to relocate their position. Audrey just let out a relieved sigh and nodded.

"And Sergeant Vlug, nice throw."

"Thank's Cap. I wasn't going to let those neuroi get to Audrey." Danny cheered. "Still, did you see the size of those drones?"

"Agreed." Jane added. "Those are too big to be drones, yet too small for any standard flying types. And more, they were looking for someone. I fear that the witch we're rescuing might have blow her cover."

"How many more places to look, Captain?" Wilma asked.

"Well, besides the entire forest, we have four more possible towns. And if Hill's theory is true, we don't have much time. Let's get moving."

"Yes, sir!"

Audrey panted throughout the trek as she gripped her carbine tightly. Her familiar ears and magical antennae were out as she scanned the forest with a close eye. She had been doing it for around most of the day now. The sky was growing dark already as the sun was beginning to dip behind the earth. She couldn't help but admire the beauty around her, with the snow glistening a soft orange hue from the rays.

The search for the downed witch had taken up the entire day. For town to town, the 45th searched thoroughly. And no results. All they found at each town were abandoned houses and rusty vehicles. They then began a search in the surrounding forest, hoping that their luck would come. No sign of their witch. The only (somewhat) good news from their search was the lack of neuroi presence in the area. They only encountered few drones along the way, which flew around in high altitudes. They looked the same as the previous drones, being big in size, yet nimble. That was the troublesome part. There were no drones of that size that any allied soldier had encountered before. Were these a new type of neuroi? Furthermore, what was to become of their downed witch? The best case senario was that the witch suffered no injuries upon crash and had a mild case of hypothermia. But with how long she must have been here, along with the possibility of being injured upon crashing and severe hypothermia from the storm, her chances seemed dim. Then add in the factors of hunger, fatigue, and the neuroi drones, the mission felt hopeless. Yet, everyone kept going in search for the missing witch. After all, this was their most important mission so far, and they were not going to give it up.

"Cosens, that's enough. Take a rest." Spiers said. Audrey, who was tired from both the march and her magical use, agreed as she put back her familiar featured. She let out a sigh as she wiped the sweat off her brow. Turning around, she noticed the tired faces on the others as well. Yet, just like her, they had determination written all over them.

With a couple of steps, the squad managed to luck out. A cave was found amongst the grove. Although not as deep, it would make do for the tired reconnaissance squad. As the sun was settling down, they decided to follow suit.

"Alright, let's hold up in that cave for the night." Spiers said. Everyone nodded as they all made their way inside. The dark cave was illuminated with the efforts of Jackie, now shedding some light on the inside. The cave turned out to be roomier on the inside, opening up even wider.

"Ahh... that hits the spot." Danny said as she sat down. She placed her gear down and took off her helmet. Combing through her long, blonde hair, she felt relief as her aching muscles were getting their needed rest.

Everyone felt the same way as they began to sit down. The mood eased as everyone was finally allowed to let their guard down inside the cave. Audrey sat next to the Karlsland witch, who was stretching out her arms. With a tug, Audrey let out a groan of relief as her boot came off, now letting her aching feet some freedom. Upon notice, she heard the laughs of the rest of the squad.

"W-What? My feet were killing me." Audrey said in an embarrassed tone.

"I can't deny that." Hathcock laughed. He took off his boots to finally massage them. "I had a damn ache in my left foot. Feels great to get it out."

The squad relaxed as they took inventory with their equipment and stretched their muscles. The night was approaching closer. Volunteering, Wilma, Jane, and Fran went out to get firewood. With another flick from Jackie, the cave was lit with a dim light as everyone felt it's warmth. Audrey put her damp feet and socks next to the flame and instantly felt a wave of euphoria as her cold toes began to feel warmth. People began to pass out rations and the mood turned lighter in spite of the situation at hand. Everyone was talking in a hushed tone while eating the K-rations they held in their hands.

"Anyone got anything good?" Hathcock said. He ate his C-rations, Meat with Vegetable Hash, with his spoon. Although not exactly eye-appealing, he ate the food without a second glance.

"Bleh. I got Ham and Lima beans." Danny said. The pasty sludge in her container shoshed around. Just looking at it made her sick. "Wilma, can I please share some of yours?"

Wilma nodded happily, handing over what was canned spaghetti. With a bite, Danny felt happier.

"I thought Liberions would eat anything?" Jane smirked as she ate her rations.

"Except that. That should not even be considered edible." Danny pointed out. Everyone looked at the sludge called Ham and Lima beans. After that, everyone agreed.

Everyone ate their rations. The night was filled with the noise of the nighttime wildlife. The howling of wolves and the 'hoo'ing of owls echoed throughout the forest. Faint winds swayed the pines softly. In Audrey's mind, it felt as if they were all camping. Just disregard the fact that they were on a mission and that there were neuroi within the forest.

Audrey glanced outside. The moon was in full view. In her mind, she kept thinking about the witch that was out there.

'She must be cold, hungry, and scared out there... while we're here being warm... will she be alright?'

Audrey silently glanced at her food. Spiers took note of Audrey's silence and decided to speak out.

"Cosens, you worried about that witch, aren't you?"

"Huh? Oh... how did you...?" Spiers adjusted himself as the entire squad looked to him.

"You have that look in your eyes."

"I guess I am worried." Audrey said. "She must be cold, hungry, and afraid out there alone in the woods. I just hope we find her in time."

"Audrey, I can assure you we'll find her. We all made that promise to find her before anything else. After all, 'first to enter, last to leave'. We're not leaving without her." Spiers said with confidence.

"Y'know, just to pass the time, did I ever tell you about my wife and son back home?" Everyone eyed with curiosity at the Liberion captain.

"No sir, we never knew you were married." Wilma said.

"Let alone you were a father, sir." Hathcock added.

"If you don't mind me asking, sir, what's your wife and son's names?" Audrey spoke.

"My wife's name is Diane. I met her when I was stationed in Brittainia, just before Operation Market Garden. We named our son Robert."

"How old is your son, sir?" Jane asked.

"My wife has told me that he is now two years old." Spiers said. He let out a long, drawn out sigh before continuing.

"It's been around two years since I seen them. I love them dearly. That's why I fight even harder to ensure they will never see the horrors the neuroi can bring. That's what we do."

"However, I also want to see you guys safe too. That's my duty not just as squad leader, but as a fellow soldier of this squad. Hoohah?"

"Hoohah."

"Agreed, sir."

"Jahowl."

"Yes sir." Audrey smiled.

"Alright. Let's get some shut eye. We still gotta find our witch."

"I ain't gonna argue about some shut eye." Danny said with a laugh. She began to lie down, using her pack as a pillow.

"Jackie and I will take the first shift." Jane said. She grabbed her Lee Enfield while Jackie held her sterling submachine gun.

"Alright, everyone else. Let's get some sleep."

"Audrey."

"Hmm..."

"Audrey, wake up."

"Huh?" Audrey woke up. She came to face the two Brittainians that stood near the cave entrance. She rubbed her eyes and yawned as Jane approached the Faraway Lander. Around her, the cave was dark from the absence of the fire, forcing her eyes to adjust in her already tired state.

"Is it my shift?" Audrey yawned.

"No, but we heard something."

"Something?" Audrey rubbed her eyes once more before cautiously standing up in the dim cave.

"Like what?"

"Well, we're not sure..." Jane sheepishly admitted.

"Maybe it was you imagination then..." Audrey began to doze off on the spot, much to the surprise (and annoyance) of Jane.

"Audrey, stay awake!"

"Huh? Oh... eh, sorry." Audrey said with embarrassment. Jane just looked at her with a stern look before continuing.

"Audrey, we just want to know whether we've been spotted by neuroi by using you magical antennae."

"Or it could just be a bear or something." Jackie yawned. She too was struggling to stay awake, rubbing her eyes occasionally.

"We're in neuroi territory, Jackie. We got to be prepared for everything."

"Do you think there is a neuroi that small?" Jane thought about Jackie's statement for a bit, before sighing in defeat.

"Yeah... maybe you're right. I could just be tired..."

"Look, I'll agree with you, Jane. Let's just figure out what it was." Audrey yawned. She quickly grabbed her gear and carbine before walking out. The three cautiously exited the safety of the cave and into the snow-covered forest.

"So, where did you say the noise was?" Audrey said, clutching her carbine.

"Jane said it was around there." Jackie said with a yawn. She pointed towards a cluster of trees and bushes covered in snow.

"Alright." Audrey summoned her familiar features as her magical antennae popped out. The three walked towards the area Jackie pointed towards.

"Jane, you sure it wasn't a bear or fox or something?" Jackie asked.

"Yes, I'm sure of it... I think." Jane said in a quiet, nervous voice.

"Audrey, you got anything?"

Audrey focused on the area ahead of her. She did sense something in the brush. However, due to being awakened at this time, accompanied with her fatigue from the trek and her knack to sleep (and being a heavy sleeper in general), her tired mind wasn't sure of what to make of it.

"Y-Yeah.. I think there's something there." Audrey said as she stifled a yawn.

"Audrey, are you always this tired?" Jane asked.

"I wouldn't blame her." Jackie grumbled, accompanying Audrey's yawn with her own. Jane gave an annoyed glare at the tired duo.

"Whatever, let's just investigate."

The three cautiously approached the bushes. Audrey was the first to squeeze in, checking her surroundings for any dangers. The two Brittainian witches followed. Audrey then noticed something. She made out the outline of something on the snow, covered ground. Or, perhaps, someone.

"Wait... I see something." Audrey said.

"Yeah... I see it too..." Jackie added.

"Wait... it's someone!" Jane said in surprise. The three ran over to the mystery person. Upon getting closer, they could tell it was a girl that laid in the snow in front of them. However, the dark night made it hard to clearly make out who it was.

"Alright, time to shed some light." Jackie said. She called out her familiar and with a snap of her fingers, a small flame emitted out.

The three huddled together to finally see their mystery person. She wore a black Karlsland Luftwaffe top that was covered in frost and snow. Her hair was short and blond. Her face had bruises, with a cut on her upper forehead. Dried blood was where the cut was. Her legs were bruised, having appeared to been walking (or running) for quite a while. Most importantly, she seemed very weak and haggard as she was struggling for breath. She was collapsed on the snowy ground in an unconscious state, most likely from pure exhaustion from whatever she endured through. At times, she gave off a shiver from the cold ground that enveloped her.

"It's her. Our downed witch." Jane spoke in disbelief.

"Hurry, let's get her up!" Audrey spoke frantically. The three immediately grabbed her. Audrey monitored the condition of the witch, who kept shivering in the cold. They carefully carried her back into the cave.

"Everyone, wake up!" Audrey spoke aloud. She was met with some surprised and startled grunts. Everyone inside the cave was wondering what was happening as they scrambled for their weapons.

"Is it neuroi?" Hathcock said. He had his thompson out while his hair was a disheveled mess.

"What's going on?" Wilma said.

"Yeah, Audrey what's-" Fran immediately caught sight of the figure the three were carrying. Everyone then understood.

"Everyone, clear the floor!" Captain Spiers ordered. Danny instantly pushed everything aside while Fran and Jane laid down a wool blanket. Audrey and Jackie laid the injured witch onto the blanket while Wilma stood close by. The Liberion medic summoned her terrier features. Her tail and ears sprouted.

"Jackie, can you please give off some light?"

Jackie nodded, once more igniting her fingertips. Everyone got a better view of the injured witch. Wilma began to assess the situation of the witch, inspecting her from head to toe.

"Crecy, how's she doing?" Spiers asked.

"Her external injuries aren't too severe. The one thing I'm worried is her temperature. She's already facing the early signs of hypothermia." Wilma said. She felt the skin of the witch. It was dangerously cold. The witch gave a shiver.

"I need someone to start a fire. We got to get her body heat back up." Wilma ordered. As Wilma began healing, Danny, Hathcock, and Jane went outside to collect firewood. Jackie remained by Wilma's side, illuminating the cave. Spiers began to wrap the few cuts up with bandages and was carefully nurturing to the injured witch. All the while, Audrey and Fran could only watch from behind. Audrey took notice of Fran. She seemed unable to speak, watching in concern and worry at the injured witch as Wilma did her best to heal her.

"Fran?" Audrey could only see the Karlsland witch stutter a few words in disbelief.

"Oberleutnant Hartmann..."

Done!

Now we finally figure out who our mystery downed witch is...

Will our beloved blonde, sturm-using ace be saved? How will the 45th get back to the allied lines? And what do those sneaky neuroi have up their sleeves (or whatever they have. I dunno, they're aliens, for crying out loud!)?

Jackie: Find out in the next chapter!

Yeah, what she-

Jackie?! What the hell?!

Jackie: Huh? Oh, hey Ash. How ya doing?

Nevermind, what the hell are you doing here?

Jackie: You told me to not butt into that other story of yours... um... Titans and Angels, was it? So, I came here.

Oh yeah... now I remember...

Just... close the chapter, will ya?

Jackie: See you in the next chapter! Cheers, mates!
