Adam: Hey-o! It's your friendly neighborhood Quarter Guy here, and welcome back to another chapter of Strike Wizards 1.5! I'm here with Tony, Shirley E. Yeager, Francesca Lucchini, H2O Delirious, Lui Calibre and last time, I got thrown into the world of witches and became a wizard of my own with a Monado replica that somehow turned into the real thing!

Tony: Yep, and we're going to continue the story from where we left off!

But first, there are a lot of reviews coming my way since the last chapter and... All of them must be something about if there's going to be any new wizards, and they're all from... the same guy... So, uh, yeah. I'm gonna go down in detail about all of them as much as I can:


The Flamicon: You know, I was actually thinking about adding him into a Noble Wizards spin-off, along with some others that I can't talk about yet, so, expect him to be in a story in the future.

Vanoss: Hmm... Originally when I was starting out on FanFiction, I was going to have him appear on a story during season 2 of Infinite Stratos, but seeing as I have abandoned that story, I think I can make some amends and probably add him onto my upcoming Ardor Wizards spin-off...

CaRtOoNz: Sorry, man. No offense, but I have no intentions to add CaRtOoNz to the story whatsoever.

Ohmwrecker: I plan on doing a Silent Wizards spin-off at some point, which is where he will be in, but I have yet to read the original source materials that I'm basing it off of. So you'll have to wait and see...

BasicallyIDoWrk: Confirmed for Ardor Wizards, not much else I have to say for him.

SilentDroidd: Same response for CaRtOoNz applies to him, too. Sorry.

BigJigglyPanda: I'm planning on doing a Brave Wizards arc after 1.5, so hey! Expect to see him soon!

fourzer0seven: Hate to break this to you, but, he isn't going to be showing up until I get to Operation Victory Arrow! It's where I plan for him to make his debut, and who knows how long it's going to be when I get to that point in the series.

SeaNanners: I wouldn't count on him appearing on this story, I feel he'd probably fit in into a Girls und Panzer story involving a male tanker division with him included if someone has the skills to integrate him well with what that series has, but I'm not planning on writing a GuP story, so sorry, Nanners isn't going to be on this series.

Chilled Chaos: Like Nanners, I think he'd probably fit somewhere else, like, I don't know, maybe... Kancolle? To all of you reading all of this, I have a very imaginative mindset when it comes to things like this, okay?

SMii7Y: Confirmed for Brave Wizards story alongside Panda.

GassyMexican: I'd throw him in somewhere in the GuP thought with Nanners, but not here, unfortunately.

MrSark: Like Chilled, I'd probably put him into the Kancolle side and not in this story.


Whew! Okay, we've got all of that out of the way! Now then...!

*CRASH*

Oh god! What the fuck was that?!

Hanna: Sorry, I was running late.

Tony: Damn it. I just had that glass pane replaced. *sighs* Anyways, good to see that you showed up, Hanna.

Hanna: Thanks. Now where's Adam?

*looks around until she finds him*

There you are...

Adam: *blushes* Hey, Hanna...

*sits on his lap while seductively smiling at him*

Tony: Okay, are you done yet? We have to get the show rolling here.

Hanna: Go right on ahead. I've got something to take care of with Adam here.

Adam: *laughs softly* Just get the show moving, Tony.

Tony: Alright, I'll let you two do your business, but right now... The show must go on!


PROLOGUE

~31st Joint Fighter Squadron 'Afrika' Base, African Front, 12:21 P.M.~

Adam, the wizards and the witches finally arrive to the base of the 31st Joint Fighter Squadron 'Afrika', a squadron with an even longer history than the 501st.

A mixed squadron mostly made out of witches from Fuso and Karlsland, who were dispatched to Africa in 1941.

Flight Lieutenant Hanna-Justina Marseille, an ultra ace and a dog fighting genius.

Squadron Leader Keiko Katou, a witch who is about to lose her powers, yet who leads the squadron as their commander with a very precise sense for decision making.

These two form the core of the squadron, which has provided the allied forces with many victories.

Even today in 1944, this squadron is protecting Africa by holding the Neuroi at bay.

Since seeing them fight is like seeing 'a storm sweeping through the desert'...

People call them: 'Storm Witches'!

"So, Marseille. These are the new faces you have advised me of?" Keiko asked.

"That's right, commander." Marseille answered.

Keiko glimpses at the witches and then turns over to look at Adam, Johnny and Lui, and smirks.

"Well, it appears that there aren't just witches that have arrived to this base, but there are wizards as well..." She spoke.

Johnny and Lui gasp in revelation as Adam asks in confusion: "What the...? Wizards?"

"Yes... I've been hearing rumors that such have existed. But it seems that those rumors, to my knowledge, are now confirmed to be true. And you three are proof." Keiko answered him.

She turns to the group as she says: "Wizards... Welcome to the Storm Witches!"

Opening Theme (Adam's 2nd Theme): Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne - Rather Be


Chapter 3: In Africa (Part 2)

"It's honor for us to meet you wizards. I am Keiko Katou, Commander/Squadron Leader of the 31st Joint Fighter Squadron 'Afrika', or Storm Witches as we're commonly known." She introduced as she shook hands with the boys.

"May I ask what your names are?" She asked. "My name is Johnny D. Vetterlein, and people know me as "Delirious"!" "I'm Lui Calibre. We were both a part of the Strike Wizards from the 501st Joint Fighter Wing." Johnny and Lui introduced.

"Hmm, looks like we have some veterans here. Were you both involved in the liberation of Gallia?" Keiko asked.

"Yep, we were both there the whole way through." Lui answered. "Very well then. Welcome. And congratulations on your recent efforts. And you are?" Keiko says as she turns to Adam. "Adam Lutz. Friends of mine know me as the 'Quarter Guy'." He introduced to her. "'Quarter Guy'? Is that your nickname? And if so, would you mind telling me how that came about?" Keiko asked. "Yes. And the nickname's a long story, so I'll explain later." Adam said. "Very well. For now, welcome to our world and our base." Keiko said, giving him a handshake.

"Thanks for saving us back there. It's really an honor to meet the famous 'Star of Africa'." Shirley says as she shakes hands with Keiko. "No problem, I must commend your quick actions." Keiko replied. "Oh yes, and the supplies you asked for will probably be ready in the morning. It's a little messy around here, but make yourselves at home. I'm sure you're all hungry now, aren't you? I'll have them prepare something for you." She added. "Really!? Thanks! I'm so hungry I think I'm about to die!" Shirley said in relief. "Oh, thanks for reminding us. We haven't ate anything since we got here." Lui thanked her.

"VIVA! Finally, something that isn't canned food!" Francesca exclaimed in extreme delight. "U-Um... Do you think you can eat food from Fuso?" One of the Fusoan witches asked. "Fuso!?" Francesca asked. "Yes! Yes, please!" Shirley accepted in quick earnest. "Fuso?" Adam asked. "That's what they call Japan here in this world." Johnny explained. "Oh, so it's going to be one of those situations where the world we live in is almost identical to this one, but the only difference is that all the nations in the whole world are renamed?" Adam predicted. "Yep, that's pretty much all there is to know about what you're getting into, Adam." Lui confirmed.

Then in a flash, A canteen was thrown Shirley's way and with quick reflexes, she catches it with her hand. "We have running water here, so you can fill it up as much as you like. We also have milk. How about some for the little one and the wizards here?" Keiko says as the wizards and Francesca were given a canteen of their own. "But... Well... Make good use of these. Alright?" Marseille said. "Milk?" Shirley asked. "Wow. You guys actually have milk around here?" Adam asked as well. "Marseille loves milk. So much we keep cows here, even." Keiko whispered. "Huh, that's something interesting I'd have to hear about her." Adam said.

Lui then notices Francesca peering at Marseille's breasts. "*sighs* Oh boy... Delirious, Adam, you might wanna find some place to settle down, cause I think something out of the blue is about to happen." He says as he runs over to a crate and sits on top of it. The other boys, without knowing any reason as to why, does so anyways and sit with each other on top another crate. "I'd try and stop her, but I know I can't do a thing about it when she won't give up." Lui tells them. "Stop her? From doing what?" Adam asked.

All of a sudden... "*laughs* Rather than milk..." Francesca says. "Hmm?" Keiko says, turning to look at her. "I think I much prefer THIS!" She finishes, groping Marseille's breasts, shocking everyone around, including the wizards. "And there she goes again!" Lui says. "Oh hoh-hoh! I didn't see that one coming!" Johnny hollered. "What the!? She grabbed her breasts!?" Adam asked in shock. "Fun fact: She'll grope any girls breasts to see if they're big or not when she starts peeping at them!" Johnny explained. "Well, if that's her thing, I might as well not ask in further detail as to why." Adam commented.

"Wah! I guess Shirley's are bigger, but this softness and firmness is quite..." Francesca mutters while still examining Marseille's breasts before Shirley approaches her in irritation to stop her before she make matters worse. "L-Lucchini... What do you think you're doing!?" She whispered in a very bitter tone. "What do you mean? It's a greeting. We always do this. Don't we?" She responded softly. "Not a handshake, but a bustshake! That's all!" Francesca said in honesty. "Yeah... No... Well...? Do you realize who it is you're 'greeting'?" Shirley inquired her.

"Flight Lieutenant Marseille?" Francesca asks lightly. Shirley raises her head and double facepalms in complete frustration as she thinks to herself: 'Are you fucking kidding me!? You're so stupid!' She then grabs her by the shirt and berates her for obliviousness. "Listen, Lucchini! She's 'The Star of Africa'! She's the top ace around here! Haven't you got that by this point!? She's amazing enough to be in the newspaper!" She heatedly explained. "R-Really? But she has the same rank as you and Johnny, so I thought it'd be okay..." Francesca says.

"It's not, you idiot!" Shirley replies in discontent. "What are you going to do if you annoy them so much, they won't give us any supplies...?" She continues to berate Francesca before she heard someone clear her throat behind both of them. They look around to find a very irritated Marseille looming over them. 'Wow... She looks really mad...' They both thought. "Oh, they done pissed her off now!" Johnny commented. "Okay, taking notes. Never, at any time, touch Marseille without her consent." Adam noted.

"I see, I see... So this is your idea of a 'greeting'... I see... Well, if that's the case... Then I guess I too will have to welcome you in my own special way!" Marseille ominously declared, making Francesca yelp in fear. "W-Wait Marseille. She's only a child! Remember...?" Keiko informed. "Oh, don't you worry. I'm just going to teach her some manners..." She replied. "Teach...? Weren't you also like that when you were younger?" Keiko questioned. "Wait, she's done stuff like this back when she was a kid?" Adam asked in surprise.

Fearing the danger that was to come, Francesca tries to run away. "Francesca, look out!" Lui shouted to her. She, unfortunately, was too late as she was too busy looking back at Marseille to see that she had collided into Keiko at the last second. "Ooh!" Francesca spoke as she then groped her breasts as well. "A bit saggy, but these are some fine breast... -s...? Wha...?" Francesca mumbled as she stared into the smiling, but now also irritated look in Keiko's face. "Oh my... 'A bit saggy', you say?" She asks her in a condescending tone.

"*laughs* She did it again!" Johnny laughed in amusement. "Okay, I really didn't expect her to do that again." Adam commented. "Oh god. *laughs* I don't why I'm laughing, but I know for certain, one more time and all hell breaks loose!" Lui said as he was giggling the whole way through. Francesca tries to run away yet again, but then goes for the Fusoan witch's flat chest instead. She gropes them, but then looks away in disappointment, and muttered: "Just a consolation prize..."

Shirley backs away a few steps in shock as she thinks to herself: 'Lucchini! What were you thinking, touching three different witches' breasts in one go!? You could've just stopped like I told you when you went for Marseille!' "*laughs* Oh my god, she did it three times in a row!" Johnny burst out while laughing very hard. "What is wrong with her, dude!?" Adam asked in complete disbelief. "Wha-! That's so mean!" The Fusoan witch yelled. "Oh no! Guys, the entire squadron is coming out to get them!" Lui alerted while trying to hold in his laughter.

The entire 'Storm Witches' squadron stop their normal business after hearing Lucchini's remark. "Really...! What an outrageous thing to do!" "I can't believe she grabbed Tina's (Marseille's) breasts!" "And calling people's breasts 'consolation prizes'...!? They might be guests but this kind of rude behavior can't be forgiven that easily!" The other members of the squadron ranted. The two of them slowly start to retreat before Keiko orders the entire squadron: "Everyone! RESTRAIN THEM!" "WAH! Wait!" "What!? Why!?" Shirley and Francesca shriek as they both break into running speed.

"Oh god! Shirley! Francesca! Run! RUN! RUN! *laughs*" Johnny shouted while laughing. "Don't stop running, guys!" Lui shouted as well. "Uh... Are they gonna be alright?" Adam asked in confusion. "I haven't done anything! If you're going to chase someone, chase Lucchini!" Shirley pleaded. "AAH! That's so mean of you, Shirley! I thought we were a team!" Francesca called out. "Argh! How many times have I told you not to go around and grab other people's boobs like that!?" Shirley reprimanded.

"It was meant as a witty Liberian joke!" She confessed. "But you're from Romagna! At least try and ask them for forgiveness!" She demanded. Francesca cringes but turns back to their chasers and tries to apologize. "E-Eh... Um... E-Everyone... S-Sorry for grabbing your boobs!" She said to them. "YOU REALLY THINK WE'LL FORGIVE YOU THAT QUICKLY!?" One of the Storm Witches yelled back. "AW, I KNEW IT! YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!" Another squadron member yelled.

"*groans loudly* This is bad! We better split up, Lucchini! I'll tell you where we can meet up on the incom. Same frequency as always!" She told her as they both split from each other to find a spot to hide from Marseille, Keiko and the rest of the Storm Witches. "Argh! And we were going to be served good food for once..." She grumbled.

She ends up finding a stock of barrels in plain sight and goes inside one of them to hide from the Storm Witches. Francesca ends up hiding in one of the nearby tents closest to where the barrels were. "Where did they go?" One of the squadron members asked as they inspect the area all over. "They must be hiding somewhere." Another squadron member said. "Alright then. Witches! Form search parties, split up and find those two! We can't let them get off the hook after doing such heinous acts!" Keiko ordered. "Roger!" The witches respond as they immediately split with each other to find Shirley and Francesca.

"Marseille, you're with me. If we have to split up, then you're welcome to do so. For now, let's find those two and rightfully punish them!" Keiko says to her. "Hey, wait!" Someone shouted to them. They turn around to find Adam, Johnny, and Lui sitting on some crates, having witnessed the whole thing. "What about us? Don't we get a chance to eat something or what?" Adam asked. Keiko turns to Marseille and notions her to go and find those witches. Marseille nods and heads off to find Shirley and Francesca.

"Look... We're really sorry to have inconvenienced you wizards. We never imagined this situation to have escalated this quickly." Keiko said. "If any of you are hungry, there's a tent nearby that has all of our provisions and such. If there's something you can cook, you're free to do so as you please." She informs them, heading out to search for Shirley and Francesca soon after.

The wizards follow her word and walks into a nearby tent which appeared to be a mess hall of sorts. There, they found rows of picnic tables, where the squadron members would usually be sitting around, hanging out and conversing with one another. On the other end of the tent, appeared to be a kitchen, where all of the cooking utilities, tableware and the food supply were stored in.

"So this is their mess hall, huh? Looks pretty big than when we saw it from the outside." Adam commented. "Yeah... I'm surprised this tent is wide enough to fit in this many tables." Lui complimented as he looks around the tent to observe the numerous picnic tables around them. Johnny turns around to the other end of the mess hall, and finds the kitchen shack up ahead.

The three of them head over there and enter from the back door. There, they find an assortment of cooking utensils from ladles, knives, pans and such hanging on the walls. They examine the items further, until they come across some crates containing loaves of bread and various fruits and vegetables. Lui grabs what he wants and starts to make a sandwich with the ingredients he has. Johnny and Adam took whatever they saw with their own eyes and immediately head out the shack and back into the tent.

Adam settles himself down onto a seat on one of the picnic tables, takes his backpack off his shoulders, zips it open and pulls out his laptop to play some games and pass the time while biting down on his snacks. Johnny was just about to do the same, sit down, pull out his laptop and turn it on, until he heard something from outside. "Psst!" "Huh, what the...?" He spurts as he turns his head left and right to find the sound source. "Johnny? What's up?" Adam asked, turning away from his game for a brief moment.

"I think I heard something. I'm gonna go out and check." Johnny replies as he gets up from his seat, while still holding his snacks, and goes outside to look for the source that made the noise. He looks around until he hears someone call to him. "Johnny...!" "Wha-? Shirley?" He asked, recognizing the voice. She pops her head out of the barrel she was hiding in to notion him over. "Johnny. Over here!" She whispered as he turned to look at her. "Shirley? You were hiding in there-?" Johnny asks before Shirley quickly covers his mouth.

"SHH! Don't let them know that I'm in here!" She hissed at him. "Sorry..." He quietly apologized. "It's okay... *sighs* Johnny, I don't know how long I'll be able to hide from them, but, man! I haven't had one single bite at all today! Do you, think you could let me have some of what you're having?" She requested. Johnny decides to hand her some of his food while checking around to make sure no one sees him. "Thanks, Johnny. You're a lifesaver." She thanked him.

"No problem. Chew softly, you don't want them to-" Johnny told her before he heard someone speak: "Hey, I think I heard something." "Where's it coming from?" "I think it might be around... here." "Oh shit! Here, take all of my food. I'll get some more after, just stay down. I'll create a distraction for you!" Johnny warned Shirley, prompting her to duck back down.

A group of Witches walk on by as they catch Johnny in their sights. "Hey, you there!" One of them spoke to him. "You look like one of those Strike Wizards we've been hearing about, are you?" She asked. "Maybe..." Johnny playfully said. "Give us your name." The witch demanded in suspicion. "Johnny D. Vetterlein. Friends call me "Delirious"!" He introduced to the witches. "You know any witches by the names of Charlotte E. Yeager and Francesca Lucchini?" She questions him.

"Yeah, I know them. What do you need?" Johnny asked. "Do you have any leads as to where they could be hiding?" The witch inquired. "No, I've got no idea where they're hiding right now." He told them as they sighed in disappointment. "You guys look like you've been searching for them everywhere. You all must be tired." He said to them. "Yeah, ain't that the truth." The witch agrees as her comrades nod in response.

"Why don't you all come with me to stock up for a bit? I can show you the futuristic stuff I brought and I can introduce you to my wizard friends Lui and Adam!" Johnny suggested. "Well... I guess we can all rest for a bit before we get back to searching... Sure, we'll go with you." The witch and her comrades accepted. "Alright then! Follow me, they should still be in that mess hall tent." Johnny says as he leads the witches away from where Shirley was hiding, leaving her to eat in peace without any trouble roaming about.


Later that night...

Marseille, Keiko, and the Storm Witches continue to search for Shirley and Francesca while stopping by from time to time to meet with Johnny, Lui and Adam. "Find them yet?" One witch asks. "Nope, not yet..." Another responded. "Where did they go?" A third inquired. "Search through that tent!" The first witch ordered. Shirley crouches up as she checks her field of view. "Hmm, looks like they're not too close from here." She spoke. 'Well then... I wonder if Lucchini got away...?' She thought.

Meanwhile, the wizards were sitting next to each other as Johnny and Lui were watching Adam play on his laptop. During this, Marseille ends up stopping by in the middle of her search for Shirley and Francesca and decides to take a little breather and have a small chat with them. "A-ha. There you all are." She spoke to them, prompting them to look up over to her. "I was wondering where you boys ran off to during my search." She tells them as she sits down next to Adam.

Adam lightly blushes as he glimpses at Marseille's alluring face. "So, you boys, from what I heard, are from another dimension that's similar to ours, but you're all from the future. Is that right?" She asks them. "Yeah, that's right." Adam answers as the other two nodded in agreement. "Hey, by the way, we never caught your full name. Could you tell us what it is?" He asked. "Oh, excuse me. I almost forgot. I'm Hanna-Justina Wallia Rosalind Sieglinde Marseille, but you can just call me 'Hanna', or 'Tina' if that's your preference." She introduced herself.

"I'm most well-known around here as the 'Star of Africa', due to my high kill count on the Neuroi, my vast amount of skills within combat, and of course as you boys can already tell, my beautiful appearance!" She explained to the boys. "Yeah. I have to say there's no doubt about what you told us so far, especially that last quip." Adam responded. "I don't think I've caught your names either, but I think I can guess the two of you..." Hanna then said to Johnny and Lui. "Hmm... Johnny D. Vetterlein, nicknamed "Delirious"." She predicted.

"Oh, wow! She actually knows my name!" Johnny exclaimed. "Lui Calibre." She guesses. "What? She knows mine, too?! How? Did you catch us on a newspaper or something?" He asks. "Yeah. In fact, I got word about how you and Officer Lucchini inadvertently helped him and Captain Yeager break the sound barrier." Hanna admitted. "Wait, that stunt of ours got public?" Johnny inquired as Hanna nodded in response. "I guess we should be proud of ourselves. Everyone in this world know who we are now, thanks to our efforts." Lui said, while scratching at the back of his head.

"And now, there's you." Hanna then spoke as she pointed her finger at Adam. "I don't think I've caught your name during our chance encounter earlier today. Would you be willing to tell me yours?" She asks as she approaches him with a tempting look on her face. "Sure. It's Adam, Adam Lutz. The "Quarter Guy" is my nickname." Adam replied. "Hmm... Quarter Guy... That sounds interesting. What does that mean?" Hanna questions. "It's a nickname that's actually passed down to me from my uncle. He was pretty big into arcades and video games of the sort! Here, come on and sit with me, I'll show you what I'm talking about." He says as he offers her a seat.

Hanna complies, and sits down with him to see what he meant. "So, what do you do here?" She asks. "This, right here, is pretty simple. Just gotta beat down on these bad guys and move onto the next screen." Adam explains as he threw some punches and kicks to his two enemies. He soon enters a room where there were two more henchmen in his way, one of them carrying a handgun.

He goes for the guy with the gun and knocks him down. "Alright, watch this. I'm gonna pick up his gun, and take a look at what I do." Adam says to Hanna as he goes and grabs it from the floor. As the henchman got back up, Adam approaches him, the henchman is forced to turn around, he hits him with his gun and puts him in handcuffs, effectively eliminating him.

"Wow. What did you do there?" Hanna asked. "My character is a cop, so he can arrest enemies, but only when he has a pistol in his hands." Adam explained. "Fascinating." Hanna responded. He quickly dispatches the rest of the henchmen inside the room and moves on further into the building. His character is soon running through a hallway, where there was a henchman patrolling by. He was given a prompt to kick, but he deliberately punches instead and misses the hit, forcing him to stop and defeat this obstacle.

"Why did you go for the punch instead of kicking him?" Hanna questioned. "Normally, I would've followed that and moved on, but I failed that on purpose just so I can show you what would happen." Adam answered. He fires a few rounds at the enemy and throws a few kicks, immediately wiping him out. He reaches an area where there's an elevator nearby, but it wasn't long before more henchmen had arrived, and one of them was carrying a rocket launcher.

Adam immediately goes for him and knocks him down with a combo of punches and kicks. He grabs the rocket launcher and slowly tries to distance himself from his opponents. As two of them were closing in on him, he whacks one of them away with the launcher, and kicks the other one in the groin. He immediately fired a rocket at all three of them. They all get blasted away from the explosion, and kept firing at them until they were dead. Then, as they disappeared, another guy had entered the room from the other elevator, only he was much larger in size compared to the other henchmen.

Adam readies his launcher and fires a few more shots at the guy before he depletes all the ammo from it. He waits for the guy to approach him, and then runs over to the other side, where, he picks up a grandfather clock and as he turned around to face his opponent, chucks it right at him. The clock shatters apart as the big guy falls over. He then pulls out his pistol, jumps up in the air and shoots a few bullets at him. The shots all hit in succession, forcing the guy to stay stunned on the floor. The guy starts to get back up, when he suddenly starts to roll like a bowling ball straight at him.

Adam sidesteps out of the way in time before he could get hit and fires a few more shots at the guy before he finally falls over. He disappears and his character heads into the elevator, and thus, was on his way to another level. "And that's pretty much what's there to grasp on this game. This is only the first part I've shown you here, there's a lot more to come afterwards." Adam said to her. "Hmm... That looked like a lot of fun. I think I'd like to give it a try some time. Would you be willing to do that for me?" Hanna asked.

"Yeah, when we're not busy with anything, I can let you try it out for yourself! In fact, I could let the other witches have a go at it as well! How does that sound?" Adam offered.

"That sounds like a good idea. Alright then, it's settled!" Hanna nodded in agreement.

"There she is!" One witch shouted from outside. Marseille turns to look outside before she hears: "I've found the little one!" She gets up from her seat and prepares to head out. "Well, that must be my cue to head back. It's an honor and pleasure to finally meet you wizards, especially you, Adam." She says as she caresses her hand on his cheek, causing him to blush again. "I'm really impressed with what you've got right there." She complimented, making him smile back in flattery. "Yeah. Thanks, Hanna." He replied. "I'll catch you boys around!" Hanna bids them as she waves goodbye, before promptly leaving the tent to chase for Lucchini.

Adam exhales deeply and puts a hand over his forehead as he can't believe how close Hanna was with him. "Ooh, she really likes you, Adam." Lui says as he points at his face. "Yeah! No kidding! I was trying really hard to keep my cool there!" Adam admitted. "Heh-heh-heh! You like her too, don't you?" Johnny chimed in as he patted him on the shoulder. "Yeah. She looks like she can be a hothead, but when I got to talking with her, she got real invested with what I had to show." Adam said. "Bro, you gotta show her more of the games and tell her more about our time when you get close. You have a shot with her! I know it!"

"You guys think so?" Adam asked. "Yeah, man! She's got the hots for you, why not take advantage of that?" Johnny suggested. Adam nods in agreement to his statement, before turning around to look at the exit of the tent. "I should probably check outside and see what's happening to those two." Adam said. "Johnny, can I borrow your Striker Unit for a moment? Just so I can see what's going on." He asked. "Yeah, sure. I have it nearby the tent, shouldn't be too far." Johnny answered. "Got it. Thanks." Adam replies as he heads out the tent to see the ensuing chaos unfold.

From the outside, Shirley hears the alert from her hiding spot and finds Lucchini blasting off into the air to try and escape from the Storm Witches' grasp. "She's in the sky! She's wearing Striker Units!" One witch reported. "Someone, get her!" Another demanded. She reaches a certain distance before Shirley notices another witch blasting off to chase after her. Only difference is, she was closing in on her fast. "*gasps* Lucchini! Get away from there! Get away from there now!" She alerted her. But it was too late as the witch arrived to stop Lucchini in her tracks.

Adam soon flies up to a point where he can see the action from not too far. "There they are." He says to himself. "Well then... Let's put an end to this silly game of tag now, shall we?" The witch said to her. "F-Flight Lieutenant Marseille..." Lucchini stammered before she soon buzzed off in a flash. "Hmph... I won't let you get away!" Hanna smirks as she chases after her in hot pursuit.

"There they go... Better catch up and see what happens." Adam spoke to himself as he flies onward. Francesca tries to lose her by gaining altitude and speed. That was not enough, however, as Hanna was swift enough to reach and stop in front of her once again. "Wha...?! I can't get away!" Francesca spoke in disbelief. "Ha. Checkmate, Pilot Officer." Hanna declared.

"What...! Wow... She's just as fast I was earlier today when I was using the Monado to help her take out that Neuroi!" Adam spoke out loud as he remembered what he and Hanna did together before. Back down on ground levels, Shirley looks up at the sky as she witnesses the event unraveling with her own eyes. "Shirley! Shirley!" Johnny calls to her as he and Lui run to her.

"What the hell's going on up there, Shirley?" Lui asked. "It's Flight Lieutenant Marseille!" She tells them as they all look up to see the action. 'It almost looks like Lucchini is flying towards Flight Lieutenant Marseille by her own will...! And her maneuvers totally nullify the G-55 Centauro's effeciency at high altitudes! This is... This is the 'Star Of Africa'! Flight Lieutenant Hanna-Justina Marseille!' Shirley thought to herself before Commander Keiko approches her and the wizards from behind, puts her hand on her shoulder and gives a thumbs up.


The next day...

~12:00 P.M~

"Uh... should we help them out or what?" Adam asked. "No, Adam. They need to do this on their own as an act of discipline for their repulsive actions yesterday." Hanna told him. "Are you sure? I mean we can stop for a bit and help before we go?" Johnny suggested. "Everything will be fine, Johnny. Your girlfriend and Lucchini will do just fine doing the laundry by themselves." Hanna assured him. "Alright then. Lui, come on." Johnny says as he notions Lui to follow. "Now then... You'll have to work off all the trouble you've caused us. There's still a lot of clothes left that need to be washed!" Hanna ordered the witches. Shirley and Francesca scrub the clothes vigorously as they argued with one another.

*sighs loudly* Really! Look at the mess you got us into, Lucchini! I forbid you from touching any more breasts from now on!" Shirley berated. "What!? No! You want me to die!?" Francesca whined. "If you want to touch them that badly, then just touch me! That should be enough for you!" She angrily suggested. "No! Yours are the best, but I want to touch a lot of different ones!" She complained. "Hey you! Stop talking and get those hands moving, will you!?" Hanna barked from behind them. Shirley and Lucchini close their eyes as they pause their work and cringe in irritation from Hanna's words.

"Hey, Shirley! Francesca!" Lui called to them. They open their eyes and look up to see him and Johnny already suited up and hovering in the air with their Striker Units. "Johnny? Lui? Where are you guys going?" The witches asked. "Sorry to tell you guys this soon, but, uh... We're going back home now!" Lui informed. "What!? You guys are leaving us already!?" Shirley asked in shock. "No! Lui, Johnny, wait! Please stay for a little longer and help us with the clothes!" Francesca pleaded. "*sighs* I wish we could, but we can't! Hanna isn't gonna let us even if we tried to ask her." Johnny responded.

Shirley and Francesca sigh in disappointment. "Hey, Adam!" Johnny shouted to him as he was still standing next to Hanna. "Huh...! Oh... Yeah, Johnny?" He answered to him. "You gonna come home with us, or what? Come on!" Johnny asked. "Hmm..." Adam thinks as he looks at them. Then he turns to look at Hanna, where she smiles right at him, as well as giving him a wink. Adam brightens up and smiles back at her, then turns to the guys to give them his response. "You know what, guys? I think I'm going to stay here for a while." He tells them.

"What...?" Johnny and Lui speak in surprise. "The reasons I feel I should stay for a while longer is because... I want to hone my flying skills on my own Striker Unit . I want to get the hang of using firearms in battle. I want to train myself more in using the Monado. But, most importantly..." Adam proclaimed as he places his hand over Hanna's shoulder as she blinks in surprise as she turns to look at him. "I want to spend more time with Hanna and be able to get to know her better." He finished.

Hanna then places her arm around Adam and smiles as a gesture to tell him she'd be more than grateful to have him around. Adam smiles back and then looks back at Johnny and Lui. "Oh! Look at you two! You're already about to hit it off, aren't you?" Johnny asks him. "It sure looks like it." Adam replied. "Okay. Well, we better be on our way. It was a pleasure to have met the Storm Witches and you, Hanna-Justina Marseille." Lui spoke as he and Johnny shook hands with her. "It was nice to meet you two as well. I look forward to our next meeting." Hanna responded.

Johnny and Lui begin to take off before Hanna stops them. "Wait! Before you two go…" She spoke as they turn around to hear what she has to say. She gives them a salute and wink, saying: "Be sure to give my best regards to the rest of the Strike Wizards in your world!" Johnny and Lui nodded as they both call for the Writer. "Hello?" The Writer answered over the phone. "Writer, it's us, Johnny and Lui. Would you open up a portal for us? We're ready to head home." Lui requested. "Sure thing, give me a few seconds." The Writer responds.

Johnny and Lui turn to look up at the sky as a portal soon opens up from above. "The portal is now open. You may fly in when you're ready." The Writer said. "That's our way out. Goodbye, Hanna. And uh... oh, Adam!" Johnny shouted. "Yeah?" "Good luck on getting the hang of flying in the Striker Unit!" Johnny said to him, giving a thumbs up. "Thanks! I look forward to seeing you guys again when you come back!" Adam said, returning the favor before waving goodbye. Keiko had been walking along, right until she noticed the wizards about to take off.

"Oh! Vetterlein, Calibre! Are you two already about to return home?" She asked them. "Yep! Glad you arrived to see us off! It was an honor to meet you, Marseille and the Storm Witches!" Lui responded. "Thank you, but I would say it was much of an honor as well to have met you two!" Keiko replies. "Huh?" Johnny and Lui spoke in surprise. "Please, send my best wishes over to your friends in your world, the Strike Wizards! You're both welcome to come back here anytime you like!" Keiko says, saluting and winking over to them.

Johnny and Lui salute and wave back, and then look over to Shirley and Francesca. "Shirley!" "Francesca!" They both called out to them. They stop from washing the clothes as they look up to see the two wizards. "We gotta go! We'll see you guys when we come back!" Lui told them. "Oh, you guys are leaving now?" Shirley asked as they nod their heads in response.

"Okay, well. Bye, Johnny! I love you!" Shirley says as she blows a kiss before waving goodbye. "Goodbye, Shirley! I love you, too!" Johnny waved back. "I'll be waiting for you to come back soon, Lui! Bye!" Francesca said to him as she stood up, waving both hands. "Bye, Francesca! We'll come back very soon, promise!" Lui told her. The two of them ascended towards the portal as Adam and the other witches waved goodbye. The portal closes and leaves a shockwave ring of energy to dissipate in its disappearance.

Adam continues to stare at the sky to where the portal once was before he was taken back into reality by Hanna. "Hmm, how long do you think it'll take before they come back, Adam?" Hanna asked. "Eh… I think they'll be back in about, let's say… several months from now." Adam predicted. Hanna nods in agreement before turning around to find Shirley and Francesca off duty.

"Hey! Who told you that you could stop? Get back to washing those clothes." She ordered them. Shirley and Francesca, understandably, grow irritated and talk amongst themselves. "Lucchini…" Shirley spoke. "Yeah, Shirley?" Lucchini replies. "You know what I'm thinking after we're done with all of this?" She questions. "Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing as you are…" She answers, as they both then declare: "We're so going to run away from here!"

From this day on, flight lieutenant Charlotte E. Yeager and pilot officer Francesca Lucchini, were forcibly transferred to the 'Storm Witches', where they were mostly in charge of performing miscellaneous tasks. It would take a while before they, once again, were able to get a taste of freedom, but where they went afterwards is another story for another time. As for the new wizard, Adam Lutz, weeks would go by as he would continue flight training alongside Hanna, Commander Keiko, and the rest of the Storm Witches, and taking on skirmishes against the Neuroi with the Monado in his hands.


Adam's Afterword

Well, I've made my choice. I decided after resting here for one day, I planned on staying here to continue my training in flying the Striker Unit with Hanna, Commander Keiko and the rest of Storm Witches while letting Johnny and Lui return home. I was able to grow closer with their girlfriends, Charlotte E. Yeager and Francesca Lucchini, while they were serving their time, mostly doing all the chores around the base: laundry, cooking, cleaning. Though I made the choice to give them a helping hand anyways.

While we were working together on my first week here, I got to know from them stories about their old unit, the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, the Strike Witches, and the male division, the Strike Wizards, which was where Johnny and Lui were ranked in. I was able to learn that they were friends with those that I knew from online as well, that being Logan Atkins and Will Allen in particular. I asked them how was it like to have work alongside them, and they told me stories about how Logan had gotten together with one of their friends in their division, named Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen. Apparently, she was the girl that had her own foresight ability like the Monado. And speaking of abilities, they told me about how Logan can charge at the Neuroi and break through their armor like if he was Super Sonic.

As for Will, they told me he had gotten smitten with the Wing Commander Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke. He's been leading Johnny, Lui and the other Strike Wizards throughout the many battles they fought alongside the witches to liberate Gallia, which I happened to learn is France here in this world. As for his abilities, they said haven't seen him do anything regarding magic, so I have to assume that he hasn't discovered them yet. Aside from them, I got to learn about the rest of the Wizards and the Witches as well, and overall, they all sounded like an awesome team to be around.

When they had left, I was left busy with training by Hanna's side to better handle my flying techniques with the Striker Unit, working with firearms to keep myself from having to just attack with the Monado, practicing swing motions with the Monado and testing out its abilities, and occasionally going on missions with her and the Storm Witches, eliminating numbers of Neuroi.

Reflecting on meeting Johnny D. Vetterlein and Lui Calibre for the first time, they're quite an interesting duo. Johnny, even though his nickname is "Delirious", he's actually pretty cool and mellow, seeing him on the outside. Though, maybe, does he actually live up to his name. I'll have to think about that for some time. As for Lui, he's cool as well, I have to thank him a lot for helping me get the ropes on flying the Striker Unit for the first time. I thought was I gonna struggle a lot, but as it turned out, I've got the basics down and I can keep myself steady when I'm in the air.

During my stay, I got to know Hanna more as I talked with her more often. For instance, the reason she got her surname was that her ancestors actually originated from Gallia. Growing up, she had a tendency to be lazy, despite her having excellent grades in training school, and always like to pull pranks on her fellow students, much like Erica Hartmann, whom I had heard of from Shirley and Francesca when they told me about the rest of the Strike Witches.

And knowing that she's made a name for herself, being recognized as the 'Star of Africa' and all, she never was bright about the idea of giving off autographs to her fans. As for our relationship, I showed her more of what the future had to offer as I showcased more video games to her, to the point where I let her try some of it out and she was having quite the fun. I even showed her some of my uncle's videos, which I downloaded off YouTube and onto my laptop before I had left.

From that point on, Hanna and I were the closest we've ever been over the next few months. And in those few months, after some more battles against the Neuroi, she, Commander Keiko and the rest of Storm Witches would soon give me the title of the one and only 'Storm Wizard'.

EPILOGUE

~31st Joint Fighter Squadron 'Afrika' Base, Oasis, 8:26 P.M.~

Adam was resting on a towel after relaxing and washing himself in the water where no one else but him was around. He takes a deep breath and looks up to the night sky, where the stars gleamed all over the Earth from far away.

"I figured you'd be here all by yourself." A voice had spoken. Adam looks to his left to find Hanna standing by with a towel wrapping around her body. "Oh! Hanna. I didn't know you were coming over here." Adam replied as Hanna sat next to him. "Well, Adam..." Hanna started. "Yes, Hanna?" Adam asked. "It's been at least a few months since you've decided to stay." She told him. "Yeah, it has." He confirmed.

"You've been improving a lot in your flying capabilities with the Striker Unit." She said. "Am I? I don't feel like I've learned a lot." Adam said to her. "You are. I've been keeping a good eye on you while working on those formations with me and the other witches." Hanna affirmed. "You have? Did you like what you saw?" He playfully asked. "Oh, I sure did." She answered. Adam lightly blushes as he turns away to hide his face from her.

'Why? Why did I think of saying that? It couldn't just be my flying skills she's talking about, is it? Ah! Pull yourself together, Adam! This is a witch whom they call the 'Star of Africa', and I'm talking to her just like I would with anyone else!' Adam thought. "So, while I'm here, Adam," Hanna spoke as he turned back to look at her...

"Yes, Hanna?" He asks. "I'm wondering of what you think of me…" She tells him. Adam attempts to answer her request, but blushes again as he stares at her voluptuous figure. He then looks over to her face, where she was smiling with a tranquil look in her eyes. 'With the way she's looking at me, I know she already has a clue about what I'm thinking of to say to her.' Adam ruminated. He deeply breathes in and out from his nostrils and blinks his eyes as he gazes into Hanna's once again.

"Hanna..." He started. "Yes~?" She responded. "You're the sexiest girl I've ever had the pleasure of meeting with." He firmly stated while looking at her in the eyes. "Really?" She asks, scooching over to him. "Yes, really." He answered. "Well, I'm happy that you're being honest about what you think of me, Adam." She told him.

"Yeah, me too." Adam admitted. "Likewise, there's something I want to say about what I think of you." Hanna said as she poked her finger on his chest. "You do?" Adam asked. Hanna nods her head as she responds: "To me, you're more than you say you are, Adam." "What do you mean, Hanna?" He asks. "You're not just some random guy from the future who has nothing to show but the technology that it has to offer. You're a guy with wonders that were never thought of. If it hadn't been for that sword of yours, you wouldn't have stood a chance against the Neuroi." She said to him.

"You're kind, respectful, and amusing to me. So, I'm glad that you showed up out of nowhere." Hanna complimented. "Thanks, Hanna. It really means a lot." Adam replied. They both stare at each others eyes for a moment, not saying a single word. Hanna then broke the silence, asking: "Well, do you have something you want to say to me, Adam?" Adam continues to stare at her for a few more seconds, before he musters up the courage to say something. "Hanna, I... love you." He spoke.

Hanna giggles and blushes while still keeping her smile wide for him to see. "I love you, too, Adam. Shall we kiss to make it official?" She asks as she places her hand onto his. He looks down and then looks back up to her. He smiles lightly and nods his head in response. Slowly, they inch their faces closer to the other and then, their lips touch. As they kiss, Adam places his hands on her cheeks. In return, Hanna wraps her arms around his waist, forcing him to fall on his back, but they hold on to each others lips until they finally break away to breathe.

They both look back at each other's eyes with a smile and a light blush on their faces. Hanna tightens her grasp around Adam as she rests herself on top of him. Adam hugs her back, as he rubs her hair with his other arm and gazes up at the serene night sky above both of them.
