Chapter 3: unsung wars

December 31, 2010

Location: Oured, Osean Federation

"Your final mission it's almost kind of sad huh" said the air traffic controller as blaze prepared to take of in his F-22 from their makeshift runway, a highway. He gunned the engine and lifted off with no trouble and quickly gained altitude to join his wingmen who were in a holding pattern above the city

"This is Oka Nieba the SOLG will descend to a vulnerable altitude in 5 minutes"

"Rodger that" said blaze, he kicked in the after burners and headed North West

"Captain" said archer

"Blaze" said snow

"Blaze" said his wingman edge

"All right lets end this once and for all" said blaze

"Rodger" archer engaging

"Rodger" swordsman engaging

"Rodger" edge engaging

The flight was uneventful until about half way

"This is Oka Nieba to the ghosts of Razgriz we are detecting a number of aircraft heading you way, it's a double belkan formation ofnir and grabarcr"

"Oh great" said blaze

"There they are" said the belkan pilot over the radio

"Take them two on one they're not getting away again"

Luckily for blaze they were flying straight at him so he just switched over to his XMAA missiles and waited for them to get close before he fired. His missiles only took out about half but with the help of his wingmen it was a short battle but one of the pilots promised this was only the beginning before blaze took him down then they continued toward their target

"There's a beautiful sunrise from the east" said edge

"Our night flight is over" said Grimm "you know I just remembered it's my birthday next week"

"Well if all goes well you be with your family for it" Grimm said blaze

'Blaze I want to thank you for letting me fly in a squadron again you it let me know how my old wingman felt" said swordsman

"It was no trouble swordsman" said blaze

"I promised my self I would never loose another flight lead" said edge still remembering what had happened to Bartlett "blaze let me fly by your side one more time"

"Hell Nagase you can fly with me anytime" replied blaze

"Thanks" she said "Blaze look at that" she had noticed the large object falling straight for them it was the SOLG

"Listen up we got a structural readout from your guy pops" said Oka Nieba "the SOLG has a large rotating core but you'll have to time your hits just right"

"Easy for you to say" said blaze noticing the various solar panels blocking the core and preventing a clean shot

"We'll just have to aim carefully" said swordsman

"Define carefully" said edge

"We'll just have to take out the panels first said blaze" he brought his raptor in behind the SOLG and opened up with his guns and nagase did the same and after a minute of work they had cleared enough of the panels for a missile strike "grimm I want you and swordsman and nagase to hang back I'm going to use my missiles first no point in wasting ammo" grimm and snow complied but nagase held her position next to blaze's plane "damn it nagase I said to pull back"

"Blaze I said I wouldn't leave my lead plane no matter what you need me plus the odds are better when the both of us are firing"

He knew arguing was pointless 'ok you take two I'll take the other two, ready"

"Ready" she replied

"The SOLG is 50 miles from oured" said Oka Nieba "what ever you're going to do you better get on with it"

Blaze and edge fire their missiles and managed to destroy three of the stabilizers but there was one more left

"That's it I'm out" said edge as she fired her last missile at the stabilizer

"Ok pull back and I'll try and take it out" said blaze as he armed his last two sidewinders

"Negative I'm going to use my guns" she said as she took a firing position next to him

"Nagase I gave you an order"

"Blaze we're the same rank it seems kind of pointless to order me around and we don't have time for it"

"Fine just don't miss"

Nagase let loose a hail of gunfire and blaze fired off his last two missiles, all the shots hit home and the last stabilizer exploded. Smaller explosions began ripping across the hull of the SOLG as it broke apart

"Break off now" said blaze but he was too late there was a blinding white flash as the SOLG exploded snow and grimm watched as blaze and edge were enveloped by the light then it cleared and all they could see was the flaming wreckage of the SOLG plummeting down into oured bay

"Captain Snow what happened to the captain and nagase" said Grimm

"I- I don't know one minute they were here then the SOLG exploded and they were gone"

"This is Oka Nieba what happened to the other two Razgriz we're only showing you guys on radar'

"This is swordsman we don't see them either"

"Captain Snow you don't think they…" said Grimm looking down at the flaming wreckage

"Don't say that Grimm they made it, they had to"

"But I don't see a chute and they were pretty close to the blast"

"I know Grimm but they've been in tougher situations, there is no way they would die right here"


August 1, 1508

Location: central Japan

"I'm going and that's final"

"No we still need to take care of the jewel" said Inuyasha as kagome stormed off in the direction of the well. Inuyasha ran up to her and tried to grab her arm but she caught him and said "sit" but after he picked himself up from the ground he continued toward her but by the time he caught up to her she was already at the well and shippo and kirara were there waiting for her

"Inuyasha for the last time I want to go home"

"Kagome we still have business with the jewel"

"Inuyasha I just need some time off after all that's happened and miroku and sango"

Inuyasha had almost forgotten what had happened to their friends, it had only been two days since the days since the doctor dropped them off after their ordeal in the parallel universe

"Kagome you take all the time you need" he said to her

"Wait Inuyasha said kagome"

"No buts you need it, now go I'll be ok on my own for a while"

"Thanks" she said and she dropped down the well and back to her own time "grandpa, sota I'm home" she said as she climbed the rope ladder and exited the shrine house where the well was in "hmm they must be inside" she said to herself as she crossed the courtyard past the sacred tree and into her family's home but there was no one inside "ok what's going on" here she said to herself as she entered the living room. The TV was on but all it was displaying was static, kagome picked up the remote and changed the channel but she got the same thing on every other channel but one of them displayed the familiar please stand by test screen. By this time kagome started to panic and she headed for the phone to call the police but when she picked up the receiver the line was dead so she decided to walk to the station that was 5 blocks away but when she descended the stairs that led up to the shrine she saw cars strewn about the street most of them had crashed into each other but some had hit buildings and street lamps. She could also see black smoke billowing up from some parts of the city "ok what the hell is going on" here said kagome with more panic in her voice. She walked across the street to the TV shop and looked in the window at the line of TVs but they were playing a news report, it was dated July 31st the day before

"And at this time scientists in the united states and Europe still have no speculation as to the wave of energy approaching earth" said the anchorwoman "several governments have declared martial law and rioting has broken out in some major cities and again we urge the public to remain calm wait hang on we're getting reports that a curfew has just been put into place effective immediately we just received the details" she said having just received a piece of paper "stay indoors unless instructed otherwise, anyone caught outside will be arrested again we have no new information on the composition of the wave or what will happen when it hits the earth in 12 hours"

Kagome stopped watching and ran back up the stairs and back to the well, she jumped down and in seconds she was transported back to the feudal era. She climbed back up to ground level and collapsed on the ground crying

"Kagome" said Inuyasha who was still there waiting with shippo and kirara "what happened"

"It was terrible" she said still crying "t-they're gone all of them"

"Hold on slow down what happened"

"I got back and my family wasn't in the house and I went down to the street and it looked like everyone had just disappeared and then there was this old news report that said an energy wave was going to hit the earth and it looked like it hit and it killed everyone"

Inuyasha grabbed her in a hug and she began to cry even more on his shoulder kagome "we don't know that they're all dead we'll find out what happened I promise you, now let's get to the village and rest" he picked her up and sprinted to the village with shippo and kirara in tow. They arrived at kaede's house and went inside, kagome had fallen asleep and Inuyasha set her down and kaede draped a blanket over her then Inuyasha proceeded to explain what kagome had told her, well the parts that he understood

"Oh my" said the old woman when he finally finished

"This whole thing smells of naraku I'll bet he did it to get revenge for us taking the jewel"

"I'm afraid you're wrong about that Inuyasha" said a person who appeared in the doorway, Inuyasha and kaede immediately recognized who was standing there "kikyo" they said in unison

"I have come to tell you of the attack against kagome's time I believe I know where it originated from"

"Then tell us" said Inuyasha

"Very well but it will take time" she sat down next to them "from what I gathered there is a power not of this world that is attacking many places and stealing people from these places"

"How do you know this sister" asked kaede

"I have journeyed to a shrine where they have the ability to look into these parallel worlds they called them"

"Wait did you say parallel worlds" said Inuyasha

"Yes why"

"Because we were recently in a parallel universe"

"How did you get there" she asked

"We met this guy called the doctor"

"Him, you've met him" said kikyo

"I take it you've met him" said Inuyasha

"Yes but that's another story anyway they sent me to find you and bring you to the shrine from what they tell me this threat comes from another parallel world"

"Fine we'll go but we wait until morning kagome has been through enough today she needs to rest"

"Very well then we leave in the morning" said kikyo and she got up and left and Inuyasha followed her. She walked up to her gravesite above the village and Inuyasha hid in the trees watching her, after a while she finally spoke

"Inuyasha just come out and talk to me"

"How long did you know I was here?"

"Long enough now come out I need to speak to you"

Inuyasha got down from the trees and walked over to her side

"I need to tell you something, something that you need to hear. Its time to move on Inuyasha you need to stop waiting for me and I understand you still have feelings for me but its time to let them go she needs you now more than ever"

"K-kikyo why are you doing this"

"Because I feel my time here is growing short and soon I will leave this world again so we need to reconcile our differences now but I hope we can remain friends until then"

"Its fine by me kikyo" said Inuyasha "friends it is"

"Good now you need to summon your other companions so they may accompany us"

"They're not here anymore" said a grim Inuyasha

"What happened?"

"They were killed over in the parallel world"

"Oh, I'm sorry about them"

"Me too he said"

Nothing more eventful happened during the night and in the morning kagome awoke to the belief that everything that had happened yesterday was a dream but inuyasha's reminder of yesterday's events nearly brought her to tears then he explained kikyo's visit and their new destination so kagome packed up her stuff and went outside and boarded kirara along with Inuyasha shippo and kikyo then they took to the skies. It took them the better part of two days to reach the mountaintop shrine but when they arrived they were greeted by the head priestess who ushered them inside

"We've been expecting you she" said as she led them into a great room with a stone circle on the other side "this is the portal that kikyo told you about it originally had a different purpose but a hundred years ago it was modified by aliens who came through it trying to escape their parallel world which was engulfed in a terrible war, they eventually returned through and entrusted it to us to watch over, recently it activated and we receive a message saying this world had been targeted by their enemy but the attack would take place far in our future that's about the time that kikyo arrived here and we sent her to find you after she told us about you kagome"

"Its too late it already happened" she said in a quiet tone

Just then the doors to the hall busted open and in walked their nemesis naraku

"Well well well how pleasant it is to find you here" he said "where is the monk and demon slayer"

"They're dead" said Inuyasha "just like you'll be in a few minutes"

Think again half breed he snarled as he drew a sword and began to fight with Inuyasha. Kagome and kikyo drew their bows but the high priestess stopped them

"Sacred arrows don't work here" she said

"Then how are we supposed to kill him" said kagome

"There's no time for that" she said, she took them over to a pedestal with 39 symbols on it and a large red crystal in the middle "this will activate the device and I've programmed it to send you to another world where an attack is already happening, they are quite advanced and they may be able to help you" she placed her hand over the device and close her eyes, the crystal in the middle began to glow red and the ring activated, a massive vortex burst out from the middle and then pulled back then what looked like water filled the space inside you must go now she said

"Those aliens you mentioned" said kikyo "not all of them left did they"

"I'm afraid you found me out" said the priestess she drew a weird looking pistol from her robes "I will by you the time you need to get through but you must go now" she ran over to Inuyasha and naraku and began firing at him he turned his attention away from Inuyasha and with one of his tentacles impaled her through the chest. She dropped the pistol and her arms and legs went limp, naraku drew the tentacle back in and her dead body dropped to the floor then he turned his attention back to Inuyasha. He managed to get one of his tentacles behind him and impaled him in his left arm but the tentacle was severed by blasts of plasma from the alien weapon kagome was holding, she let off a few more blasts and she reduced naraku to a pile of flesh but he immediately started to regenerate. She dropped the gun and ran over to Inuyasha and helped pull the tentacle from his arm the she helped him up

"Go now" said kikyo "I will hold him off"

"What about you" said Inuyasha

"I'll be right behind you" she said "now go"

"Wait what about shippo and kirara"

"What you mean us" said the little fox demon as he entered with kirara "what are we waiting for lets go" he led the way to the portal and everyone but Inuyasha followed

"Why are you doing this" he asked

"Remember what I told you about my time being at an end well this is it now go I plan to deal with naraku and I don't think you should be here"

"Right" he said and he picked up his sword and placed it back in its sheath "goodbye kikyo" he said as he ran over to kagome

"What is she crazy" said kagome as he met her at the mouth of the portal, kirara and shippo were on her shoulders

"She's going to take care of him and we can't be here when that happens"

"Ok then" she took his hand in hers "on three, one… two… three" they stepped through the event horizon then it shut down. Naraku regenerated and was facing kikyo but she was holding a necklace with a back pearl on it and she was muttering a chant

"No, you can't" said naraku

"Yes I can" said kikyo as she finished her chant

"NO" cried naraku as he tried to rush her but the light from the pearl enveloped them both then they were gone

Inuyasha and kagome emerged through the rift an into some kind of large room surrounded by strange people wearing strange clothes all of them staring at them, Inuyasha looked around and on the upper level of the room he could see stars out of what he was guessing were windows

"Inuyasha, kagome" cried out a familiar voice from the upper level, the both looked up to see who it was. It was a woman wearing a suit with gray on the shoulders with a pin on her chest

"Commander Baker" said kagome

She immediately ran for the nearest staircase and descended to the lower level then walked over to them

"What are you guys doing here" she asked

"That's a long story" said Inuyasha

She tapped her combadge "Baker to Anderson you need to get down to the promenade you'll never believe who just showed up"

"We're on our way" said the voice from the badge

"Now when the captain gets here wait you're hurt" she said pointing to Inuyasha's wound on his arm

"It's nothing" he said

A moment later they were joined by Captain Anderson and the doctor but before he could say anything Inuyasha collapsed

"Inuyasha" kagome screamed

The doctor took out a medical tricorder from his bag and scanned his wound then he rolled up his sleeve and the area around it was purple

"The miasma" said kagome "he's been poisoned"

"Come on lets get him to the infirmary" said Anderson ash he and baker picked him up and carried him down the promenade

Blaze awoke feeling groggy and unsure of what just happened, it was pitch black outside the cockpit of his jet just then edges frantic voice filled his headset

"Blaze, blaze can you hear me" she said

"Yeah I'm here" he replied "what happened"

"I don't know the last thing I remembered was the SOLG exploding and then we were here wherever here is"

"What happened to the daylight" he said not noticing the sun, it was pitch Black outside and his instruments told him he still had a lot of fuel left in his tanks which means he hadn't been flying that long and he was only at 1000 ft up "can you get a fix on our location he asked nagase"

"No I can't get a response from any of the locator satellites in orbit"

"Damn this is not good hey what about archer and swordsman"

"I don't show them on radar but I am picking up some small…" she was cut short as a blast of red light went off right in front of her plane

"Oh crap flack" said blaze as two more explosions went off right in front of them. His plane's master caution light came on and his instruments told him he'd lost an engine and was loosing altitude, the ride became bumpier as more and more crazy explosions went off right in front of their planes just then blaze noticed some artificial light down below and he could make out a coastline "nagase bail out" he cried over the radio

"What are you crazy" she replied

"Listen we don't have time to argue there's a coastline down there and some lights and its pretty safe to say we won't make it through all this flack"

"Ok I see it I'll see you on the ground blaze" watched as her canopy blew and her seat rocketed skyward away from the flack then her pilotless raptor plunged toward the ocean. He grabbed the yellow handle between his legs and pulled, his canopy blew and his chair's escape rockets came to life and propelled him away but another colorful flack blast connecting with his plane and destroyed it. The concussive force propelled him away and sent him rolling through the air; he banged his head against his helmet and the world began to turn black and blaze passed out. He awoke to find nagase looking at him, his head was resting on her knees and she was applying a bandage to his head

"I thought you were dead" she said as she finished "I landed on the beach and got worried but I saw your strobe beacon about 500 yards away and ran over. you were lying on the sand all tangled up in your chute, good news is you haven't broken anything but the bad news is that I still have no idea where we are"

Blaze sat up then he stood up on his legs which felt a bit wobbly "maybe we're in sapin that might explain why they fired on us"

"I think we're going to get that answer" said nagase as she got up and drew her weapon, blaze did the same as a pair of vehicles rolled up, they looked like sleek combat vehicles one of the had a machine gun mounted on the back and the other was practically identical but it had a larger passenger compartment where the gun should be. Several solders got out of both cars and pointed strange looking weapons at them

"Drop the weapons and get your hands on your head" said the lead one. Blaze and nagase dropped their pistols and placed their hands behind their heads

"Defiantly not sapin" said blaze
