A/N: Next Chapter is up! Took me about two days to write and proofread this daft. If there are any mistakes, please let me know. Been working and writing non-stop these few days. So relax and enjoy the moment…

Chapter 1

Renew Beginning

The room smelled of roses and sweet honey. The only sound was the ticking of the old clock, ticking away. The bed was a half mess and the table was covered with old photographs and letters that has not yet opened. Only warmth in the room was coming from the bed… A lone figure sleeping soundly. The blue blanket, unintentionally, covered the figure and showcased the body shape. Anyone can tell that the person sleeping in the bed was a women. A beautiful lady…

*The lady's POV*

Argh… My head… Stop that~… I don't want to…

I opened my eyes in fear and shocked. As I was adjusting to my surrounding, I touched my forehead. It was wet from my sweating but it was not feeling like I'm having a fever. "Sigh~… Must be the last night dinner." I told myself in disgusted as I slowly rose from my pillow. Feeling a bit tipsy, I took a cleanse breath in order to remove any dark thoughts that I have. How long since I had been in this condition? Those dark memories still lingering in my mind, even though I had been to the treatment many times. As I gathered my thoughts, I realized that I was not wearing any garments. Slowly, the past events that took place in the span of past few hours came back to me. I could feel my cheeks heating up from the realization of my behavior…

*Knock. Knock*

Thinking that it was some kind of emergency, I rushed to the door without taking the blanket that was protecting me.

"YES?"

The door slides open as the words left from my mouth. Stood before me was a tall figure. Its left hand covering the right eye to the middle of the mouth.

"God… 34 years old and still behave like a small girl…"

"Huh? Wha~…"

I only said two words before the figure put its coat around me. I looked down and saw my regrets…

"AHHH!"

Squatting down with both of my arms covering my torso, I screamed in shocked. I can't believe that I did what I did. Oh how I wish that I could kill myself.

"You got 10. I wait for you down the corridor."

And with that, the figure pushed the button and let the door slide back closed.

*10mins later*

The outburst made the rest of the people in the corridor to peek out of their room. Seeing the tall figure, all of them just went back to their rooms. The tall figure heads to the end of the blue colored corridor. Leaning back to the wall, the figure sighed and took a flask. Slowly drinking the content, the figure looked back to the room where the outburst took place. The figure wondered how she could behave like that when she suffered so much. After thinking all the factors, the figure decided not to pursue further down that road.

"Sir! Are you even listening?"

Surprised with the voice, the figure looked towards the person whom voice spoke.

"Oh! Are you ready?"

The lady pouted at him.

"I hate you!"

With that, she walked ahead of him.

Both of them has been together for a long time. Most of the base personnel remembered that the lady came in base alone with strict order not to mingle with anyone. However, that changed three months later. With the arrival of the guy and a new base commander, the lady changed personality and started to make friends.

Even though the base was a training camp, from what they gathered, she was the most experienced veteran out of all of them.

The duo was heading down the crowded corridor. Saying their greetings to the base personnel. The lady was smiling happily but most men knew that was a false image. The true fact was that she was pissed. The early outburst they heard must had something to do with it.

"Keep this up and you will have to attend all the meetings by yourself."

The tall guy smiled happily at the threat.

"And if you keep being a kid, then I treat you as one."

That sentence made the lady punched the guy in the stomach hard.

"Guh!"

"Please! Who is the one not acting his age? Hmmm…"

"Captain!"

A lone low voice barks down the corridor. Both of them jumped and looked to the direction of the voice. Stood between them and the meeting room, was a uniformed man. Short but well-build. Shaved head but filled with scars. The individual was a mean stone-brick human being. His orange eyes stared with pure hate. One almost could say that he was a maniac, waiting for his victim.

"Ah! I'm sorry, Sergeant Major!"

"Mike! What's the deal?"

"Sir, there is a new information on the plans that you made. They want you to see it."

"Eh? So this is not a normal meeting?" The lady asked cowardly.

Both men looked at her like a doctor examining his patient.

She took a step back from their intense graze. Scared, she wondered why she even attend this meeting eagerly is beyond her.

"Hey! When I said that you could take my sister, that doesn't means you can bully her."

All three turned to the new arrival.

"Brother?!"

The man, red haired with a scar on his left cheek, smiled at her and started to walk toward her. Unable to control her emotions, the young lady whose rank was a captain just ran up to the man she just called 'brother' and jumped up to him. Both hugged each other like lovers meeting for the first time since a long period of absence. Tears fell to her brother's uniform, making a small stain on it. Smiling at the sight of his sister in such a state, he, too, was unable to hold it. The sergeant major looked on without any emotions and turned away towards the meeting room.

"I see you in the meeting."

"Yeah, see you later." The other man replied while watching the two siblings in their moment of happiness.

"She's looking better these days…" A uniformed lady walked up to him. She brushed off her long blonde hair away to reveal her face to the person she was addressing.

"I see that you are aging well. Must be hard, being beautiful and a leader at the same time."

"I will ignore your comment. YOU seems the same these past few years."

Her blue eyes stared with intense aura. Her angry lit her eyes up.

"Hahaha… Being angry with me is not getting you any closer to my secret. So are you ready to help with me?"

"YOU? I was told that this operation is a joint operation with both U.N and GDR/EU. Oh wait… You being here is a clue to what is going on." She crossed her arms and stared the man's eyes while waiting for his reply.

"Ah! Age has not dulled your mind. Its se-…" The man was interrupted by the red-haired man.

"It is good to see you again. Glad you are doing ok." His eyes were red from crying.

"Oh my! Irisdina, you really need to keep Theodor to yourself. 10 years away from Lise and look at him now."

"What!" Both Theodor and Lise turned red from the word.

"Alright~alright… Enough with the playing around. Time for the meeting to start."

All of them turned towards the voice.

"Alright, I will finish this later."

November 23, 1998

U.N Mandarake Base,

Utah, America.

The cold weather did not help with the morale of the troops. The troops were feeling down since the fall of Belgium. Another country fell to the Beta. The advancing menace was unstoppable since they arrived back in 1968.

A white coat figure walked around the hanger filled with technicians and TSFs. One hanger can hold up to 30 TSFs. Capable to load weapon and ammunitions to each TSF in 5mins before deployment, the crew worked hard to ensure a victory and the survival of the Eishi. The figure continues its walk till it reaches a storeroom. The figure turned the handle of the door and slowly walked into the dark room.

"Hmm… Never knew you were this crazy, little sister?"

The figure lit up a smoke in the small storeroom. It was not full with items. Just small piles of boxes that were worthless.

"Sigh~… First meeting since ever and this is your first question? Besides that, I'm not the only one who is crazy… So can you help me?"

The other figure in the room also wore a white coat. It was a laboratory coat used by scientist. Both had the same figure and facial features. The first one had her hair in a bun while the second just let hers flow down.

"Congrats on the promotion. You were great in those fields of studies."

"Stop avoiding my request."

"Ok~ok… What do I get in return?" The first smirked happily.

"Nothing. Nothing at all." She replied back in disgust.

"Oh cold~… Well, not like I expected anything from you… So I heard you are preparing a lot of stuff… Planning something big, I guess?"

The second lady just stared at the first figure intensely.

Not wanting to spill any secrets, she slowly stood up and walked towards the first woman.

"I just want to save humanity as much as you do, Onee-chan…"

The first lady smiled at the response she just received.

They both spend a few minutes in the store. Unknown to anyone in the base. Whatever they were discussing, not far away from them, a lone man just watches…

*30 minutes passed*

Both women walked out together, then separated to their own path. The man watches as the older figure walked closer to him.

"So… What's the deal?"

"She has not yet reach that part yet. Just as you said, the theory is still in the first phase…"

She took out a smoke and lit it up. Inhaling the smoke, she continued.

"But she did notices that I was asking too many question. Would it be better to tell her the truth?"

"Would you?" He replied immediately.

She was taken back by his response. Looking into his dark eyes, she found her answer to her question…

"Sigh~… Alright. I will just monitor the situation. Keeping tab on my sibling is my favorite past-time to do…"

The man grinned and heads back towards the hangar.

"Oh! Before I forget. Here is the file you ask."

She took out a piece of paper and handed to him.

He took it with eagerly. She saw something in him changed… Like a small boy getting a candy for first time in his life.

On the paper was a record of a person. Recently applied for the army, not yet approve. Currently at school. It was a young lady. Age 15. The minimum age to be serving in the military. Since the war, the army were facing a shortage of manpower. So in order to counter this, most countries implemented a law of allowing recruits of age 15 and above to serve and all man and woman are to be drafted into service.

She noticed that he was trembling at the sight of the photo.

"God! How long since I had seen her…."

That question alone made her seeking more…

She left him in his state of happiness. She went back to her office and lean back on her leather chair. Let a sigh out, she took out another cigarette and lit it. Remembering the first time they met, she often wondered what kind of sin did he done to suffer this fate… In fact, she had been working along with him for five years and not once did his prediction was wrong. Scaring yet helpful, his ideas and tactics were above any general or tactician she knew. However, she was not her younger sister. Her sibling was a genius in these field. Hers was in the medical studies. Her passion was in the bio make-up of the Beta. And one could say, him included. When she discovered his real agenda, she was in awe of such plan. One might say that she found the Holy Grail. A phone rang woke her up from her daydreaming.

"Hello?"

"Chairman Kouzuki? You are needed in the office."

Releasing a sigh, Kouzuki Motoko, Chairwoman of the U.N Tactical Command, just stood up and walked to the door. Mumbling; "Aaa… Wish I had talked more with her…"

U.N 10th Tactical Mechanized Division(TMD)

Queen Base, Maine, USA

1st December 1998

The dust was becoming thicker with every minute of driving. Even though she was in a sealed car, Captain Lise Hohenstein, of the 3rd Company 'Kajiu', 56th Battalion, 45th 'Craze' Regiment, watches in a heavy heart as the last transport plane left the Queen airfield. With it was her step-brother, Theodor Eberbach, Captain Theodor and Major Irisdina Bernhard. Members of the famed, GDR's 666th TSF Squadron. Missing them already, Lise turned away to clear her mind. Thankful that was able to meet them after such a long period of time, Lise wondered if the past event had act out differently, would she be alive. Dreams of her getting shot by her brother was always haunted her sometimes. Even though they were just dreams, Lise felt as if it did happened in a different time. She could not explain it but to her, it was too real.

The car was heading towards a hangar that was busy with activities. Since the EU and U.N decided to help each other, there were many redeployment for many of EU's divisions. This included the 666th squadron. Reassigned to U.N 10th TMD for cooperation, most of them were a bit hesitant at first. However, with her brother and Irisdina's efforts to make sure everyone felt safe and home, they were able to adapt with the different work environment.

"LISE!"

A voice called from the distance as the car stopped and Lise stepped out. Looking to the running figure, Lise noticed the light brown hair, tied in a ponytail. Still small build, recently promoted Captain Katia Waldheim ran up happily towards Lise. Upon reaching her target, Katia jumped and hugged her old friend. Not seeing each other for 10 years was too much for them. Tears fell onto each other. From afar, Major Pham Thi Lan stared with pride in her. Personal assistant to Irisdina, Pham was happy with the improvement in the army and the German people towards her and her race. The first to be promoted to Major, Pham had to thank the support of Irisdina with helping her all the way.

"Lise!"

"Katia!"

Pham realized that everyone was watching the two ladies in their moment of happiness and envy them greatly.

"Alright. We can continue this another time." Pham broke them up before the hangar was filled with crying girls.

"Seriously, you, girls, need to behave at your age."

"You mean like you?" Lise called out while still hugging Katia.

"Hmmm… Did you say something, Lise?" A distressed look appeared in Pham.

"Ah! Now you two stop it!" Katia quickly tried to defuse the situation.

The trio started arguing within themselves as the rest just looked on.

"ACHOO!"

Irisdina turned to Theodor as his nose became redder.

"You should had stayed in the base. I should have taken Pham with me."

Irisdina sighed as Theodor blew his nose.

"And leave me with them? As much as I want to spend more time with her, I know you will need me more."

Irisdina's eyes grew bigger with that statement.

"Ooohh… Is that the truth, my dear husband?"

Theodor turned red at the realization of his words.

"Ah! Aaa…"

Irisdina giggled at her husband. Theodor was not good in revealing his emotions well. He was like this when he proposed to her back in Germany. Back then, both of them just got promoted and it was during the time when Lise was transferred to the U.N. There were a man who was able to reverse the damages done by the Stais to Lise. The only condition that Lise was needed to be transferred to the U.N in order to do the treatment. Since then, both Theodor and lise were able to improve their relationship. The scars were there but at least, they were family once more.
