Oh-yo! :D So… if anyone was waiting for the updates, the previous chapter before this one is actually Part 2 of Elroy's travel to the future. Part 1 was posted in Sky Dreadnought: Flight Alpha, my main story. (Check out my profile and see the story for yourself!) YESSSS! Finally a plot is beginning to thicken up! YES!
Oh and by the way… I recently updated this, just to correct some stuff.
I am answering reviews!
To Colonel AmiruddinArifSulaiman: Oh… noticing that, are you now? Well, we'll just see as time passes when they're working together.
To An0n Author: It's just the beginning of things. Dark magic's something for Task Force 16 to focus on. Even if it serves as a distraction, they're still out there being abused. It's still their duty to take down groups using dark magic, you know. ;)
So, my next chapter's short like the last one! And it'll include grandchildren of Colonel Amiruddin's OC's from the Second Neuroi War as well. ;) Try not to spoil yourselves by getting to the endnote and reading the character details, please. You'll be informed of the basic appearance of the characters in the story first. At least that helps.
So… Where's the chapter? Let's not post it? JOKE! Here it is: Chapter 3!
CHAPTER 3
"Equipment, jokes, and enlistments"
Meanwhile as the meeting for re-forming Sierra team is taking place from Patricia Halsey's office, two specialists who are first assigned for the weapons and equipment inventory were on their way to DC Branch's armory.
"Dude... ever heard of Halsey's plans?"
"What now, Luke?"
"You know... Sixteen Sierra's gonna be re-formed again."
"Oh. Yup. TF-16's on the move again. It looks like they're dealing with Neuroi threats this time. It's just for them, and it doesn't score us anything. Too bad."
"What are you talking about, Lance? If the Anti-Dark Deeds Division will do what it takes and finally make progress, maybe we'd be getting out there?"
"Hey, we're assigned as inventory guys until the agency gets additional guys for this branch so we may need to bear it a little."
"Oh, ok."
"So... what are we dealing with today?"
"Apparently, TF-16's getting a taste with today's used modern gadgets and other stuff. If I'm right, Flight Lieutenant Blomgren and Captain Yamakawa already used them along with the newcomer Neuroi girls."
"Alright then." Lance said just before they got to the armory. "Quick question... They don't know the 815th has a Neuroi, right?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Should we tell them?"
"Not a chance, boys." An elder teen girl with a Malaysian accent said while approaching both of them. Her hair was black, curly, and has a length reaching the middle of her neck. A strand of red hair is noticed at the front of it all. "Task Force 16 hasn't seen everything quite yet."
"Lady PASKAL?"
"Just called me Nuza while we're alone. And for that thing about the Neuroi that the 815th have, I advise you keep it to yourselves. The rest of the UNIA except Task Force 16 is greatly aware of the Neuroi girl."
"Uhh... Neuroi girl?" Luke commented interrogatively. "What does THAT make the 'un-dead' Vermilions then?"
"They became Neuroi from being hybrids, still bringing their humanity with them. They're not the same as the Neuroi the 815th have since she actually came to being after a Mental Manipulation attempt. Gladly... it worked."
"Whoa, whoa... You're telling us a witch did that to her?"
"Exactly. You don't know how powerful a witch is."
"Of course. Tch." Lance said in irritation. "We don't have magic. They do. What does that make us?"
"Don't beat yourself down, Lance." Nuza smiled before she 'fisted' his shoulder. "So... what are you guys looking at today?"
"So you're interested at the stuff we got?"
"I've been transferred from the Special Forces unit to the DC branch Specialists Group. I don't mind... it's just that I won't be using magic for a while. It's okay."
"One of the substitutes? This sucks." Lance said before walking up to a shelf of black bands, somewhat made of strong rubber. "Alright here we got the G-Bands. Okay... here's the detail of this." He then handed over the paper belonging to the G-Bands.
She scanned the details of the G-Bands and saw interesting things there. "Hmm... Anti-Gravity bands..."
"Yeah, but they're only able to speed up horizontal top speeds. There's not much from the last version, except they hover a little higher and follow on the motion of the user."
"I see. I heard the new G-Bands are enabling long jumps from a required speed. There's even a witch who tried jumping from building to building in New York."
"Yup, latest model right here."
Nuza tried the bands, and knows how to wear them: It comes it fours, so it's for the hands and ankles. 'I'm left-handed using pistols so this should work.' Then as she pressed a button on one of the bands, she starts to hover off the ground until she stays two a foot and a half above ground. "Ah... the feel's rather different but it's functional nonetheless. Let me try." And leaning forward, she hovered forward. She used the space of the armory to keep roaming with the G-Bands. It was fun, to be honest.
Eventually, she returned to where Lance and Luke were standing and deactivating the G-Bands before her feet were on the floor again. "Unfortunately, G-Bands can't work well for Land-based witches. But they work well at least for witches who can't fly a striker unit yet." She removed her bands and took it back to the shelves. "This is indeed a very capable tool, but just not for others like myself. It's still impressive though."
"Glad you liked it." Lance replied before he led Luke out to a walk. "We'll be checking on the sticky charges. Wanna come along?" Getting a nod, Lance sees Nuza come along. 'This Malaysian's simply interested, huh?'
Eventually, Luke tapped Lance's shoulder and pointed him towards the direction of the sticky charges, since he knows where it is. Luke stopped the party and picked up a spherical-shaped metallic ball. It's got three small buttons formed up like a triangle. "Well Lance, I told you these sticky charges would be around here. See? I should be direct manager for all the guns and stuff here! Anyway... To the girl... this is a sticky charge and it can act as both a grenade, and like the title suggests, a C4 type of an explosive. But three things can happen. First... is the type when you throw this like a grenade and it explodes. To do that, press the button on the top of the triangle formed buttons over here. See these? These are buttons with specific functions. Like I said, press the top and it'll start counting down from 5 seconds before it blows up. So... throw it anywhere and that's it."
"Hmm..." Nuza seemed interested. "And the explosive charge's amount?"
"Up to a C4's worth of explosives would be the equivalent. Anyway, to keep it going, it can also be used as a regular grenade too. But this time... Well, I'll be demonstrating that instead." Luke gently threw it up once and caught it with his hand before pushing the second button, and made a baseball position for a fast-hand, pulling his arm for momentum while raising his leg and strongly throws the sticky charge to a wall. Eventually when it hits, it sticks and stays there like glue while making beeps in interval. "That's going to blow of course... up to 5 seconds like a grenade." And after a few seconds, the sticky charge blew up like a C4 on the wall. The explosion made burnt marks on the wall that Nuza thinks is bigger than a grenade's. "And unlike the last button, the sticky charge should stick to a stable surface before it starts counting down and blows up."
"Incredible." Nuza said with her eyes wide open.
"You haven't seen anything yet." Lance replied before he picked up another sticky charge from the shelf. "Yup... You've seen it well stick to the wall since he pressed that button to make it so. Then of course there's the third function: Letting it independently function as a C4 itself. To do that, the last button has to pressed... here. This button allows you to acquire the charge's detonator through that same button since it's attached to it from the inside and shaped like a handle, and the charge can either function as a grenade or a C4 to any surface as you desire. But take note that you gotta be careful about this button, since it can blow up the charge if any of its sensors don't detect the insides of a sticky charge at all, since it actually belongs inside one. If it does, it'll take itself out with the detonator and give you the options, while you're supposedly distant."
"It's a multipurpose explosive."
"Exactly. You got it." Then Lance puts back the sticky charge on the shelf. "So far... that's just about it. Nothing else new around here these days."
"Well, at least I enjoyed myself here."
"You're a Tank Witch, right?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you handle?"
"You mean my striker unit? I'll show you. Follow me." Nuza then led the two inventory specialist from the armory. Eventually, they got to the main strikers hangar of the base... While there are a few striker units available for the air, they eventually come across a Tank Striker Unit. "My TSU is right there: The PT-91M Pendekar. Nothing much to brag except the 125 mm Witch Cannon that's included. Wanna see me in it?" And seeing a nod from the two guys, she smiled and walked to her striker unit. She climbed on the launcher unit before jumping in the strikers, feeding her magic before letting her Tiger familiar features show. A small magic circle was revealed before it suddenly shrank but also powered her striker unit as well. As understood by a TSU, she was able to sync to movement of her legs and feet to the unit and eventually walks with it, leaving the launcher unit. "Good as always... aren't you?" She said, looking down to her strikers. "Too bad Adri isn't here, but oh well!"
"Wrong again, NuZa." Another Malaysian teen girl walked in, having brown hair reaching shoulders and a noticeable white hair strand at the left side of it all. "So how's the well deserving Land Witch of the UNIA doing as a specialist? I'm sure you were just running. Right, Zakaria?"
"Eh?!" NuZa, whose real name is Zakaria, was shocked to see her cousin... in DC. "Adriana... it's really you! Wait a minute... aren't you... in Australis?!"
"Nope. I was transferred for a specific reason, that the brass knows. Seriously... When do they plan telling their subordinates at least a hint?"
"Tch. Still naive about military standards, aren't you?" Zakaria then glanced from Adriana to the two guys who were confused. "Sorry... this is Adriana... my cousin. She's grandma Amirah's granddaughter."
Lance and Luke looked at each other. Then Luke looked at Adriana. "You wouldn't be related to Amirah... Sulaiman, would you?"
"In fact, I am." Adriana smirked and put her hands on her hips. "...the one and only. Actually…" And hearing Zakaria snicker, she pouts: "WHAT THE HELL IS DISAGREEING GONNA DO?!"
"Hahaha..."
"Face it... I'm the one with the image and the name here."
"Tch. Remember the time we argued on it?" Zakaria asked, letting them both remember they once used their own striker units against each other because of the senseless subject, even suspending them for two months because of it. "Unless you want a repeat, I suggest you keep things shut."
"Hmph!" Adriana crosses her arms. "You're lucky you're my cousin. And we're both lucky we have different fighting styles. But it's not a coincidence that we're brought here together like this... seeing you in your striker unit while I got my SU-35, somewhere..."
"...down the drainage pit?" Zakaria got back at Adriana and the witch simply gives out a chuckle.
"Haha... Nice. I'll be doing it again."
"I'd love a good prank, once a day, or every day... so I could chase you..."
"...and strangle me? It's is I, who has Super Strength, and not you. Ha."
Luke and Lance both looked at the two witches ranting at each other. "Uh..." Luke muttered. "Are these two cousins?"
"They're more like rivals."
"So? I'm loving them already. They're cousins... AND rivals, right?"
"This is gonna be bad combination."
And the next thing the girls knew, they were already face to face.
"You just don't quit, do you?" Zakaria whispered at Adriana, making that deadly glare. "We had our differences... so we might as well put it aside. We're here... together. I mean... what happened to us anyway? It's been long."
"Too long, Zakaria." Adriana frowns and sighs. "There's actually another reason I believe I may have been transferred here. It's due to a request I made two months ago to leave the Australis regiment, which was after our last operation in Sydney. It's... Tracy. She's gone."
"Wait, what?! How?!"
"Stray beam went straight to her head while the rest of the air regiment was fighting a large-type. I'm sure by the rest of the story, you'll know..." Adriana sniffles, now noticeable that her eyes were wet. "...you'll know she's..." She didn't finish as she suddenly hugged Zakaria.
Zakaria had it to just hug Adriana in response to calm down her cousin. 'Idiot. You went to actually boast your image first when you also knew Tracy was dead.' But what she doesn't know is that Adriana made that evil smile.
'Sorry, but I like doing this more.' And Adriana opened her hand, placing her palm on Zakaria's shoulder before her cousin was suddenly shocked by a jolt of electricity before it stopped.
The land witch stepped back and was able to get a stable standing as she breathed, before hearing Adriana laugh. 'What the...?' And her eyes glanced towards the laughing Adriana. "Was that a... joke?!"
Adri calmed down and looked at her cousin. "Tracy gave me permission to use that kind of joke. She's alive and well, my cousin." Then she showed her palm, revealing an electric buzzer. "She likes it cruel like I do."
"Ohhh... FUCK YOU. You're cruel!"
"I know, right? I'll never get tired of doing pranks on you. You're too serious, you know."
"Now I know how you excel in being the best joker and prankster there is."
"I know, right?!"
"That's it. I hate you."
"And I love you so much, NuZa." Adriana's words were accompanied by a group coming in. She recognized the young woman in glasses. "Ah... Branch Director Halsey." And she saw four other figures, with two of them as redheads. "And... You got guests."
Halley sighed at that. "Great. It seems you got some things to learn, especially who I am."
"Could you be more specific then?"
"Why do I have the feeling one of us will handle someone who brags?"
"Because neither of you won't." Patricia said it to keep them all silent, before glancing at Adriana. "It's nice to see you here, Lieutenant Colonel Sulaiman."
Halley's jaw just dropped while seeing Patricia shaking the Malaysian's hand. "L-l-l-l-lieutenant Colonel?!"
"Not to mention..." Kyoko's wide eyes were accompanied by: "...that she's the granddaughter of Amirah Sulaiman herself," she reveals.
"AND YOU KNOW HER HOW?!" Halley pouts with a question.
"Please... read more profiles." A monotone voice spoke through Kyoko.
"Uh... Who are you?"
"Baka. (Idiot.)" Kyoko muttered.
NuZa walked beside Adriana for the confusion when she saw her and Patricia shake hands. "Adri, what's going on here?"
"I'm as dumb as you are." Adriana now focused on that subject, glanced at Patricia. "You made that request that I move here, did you?"
"You're right. See... after I've learned of your involvement of the Sub-Hive's defeat in Australis... I figured we may need coordination near us too. That's what you used with the rest of your regiment."
"A team isn't a team if coordination is not seen between members, Branch Director. Even if I wanted to keep on playing jokes on NuZa right here... we both know we're on the same side no matter what. "
"Tch. Right." NuZa muttered.
"I see that your wisdom precedes with your reputation, Lieutenant Colonel." Patricia smiles. "Which is why in authority of Director Fray and your former nation's CO, I'm putting you in command of a Task Force 16 squad. You're assigned to Team Tango."
Adriana winced at it. She's being assigned a squad? With no doubt, she straightens herself and stands in attention. "Thank you, Ma'am!"
Patricia then glances at the tank witch beside Adriana. "So you're Nur Zakaria."
"Yes, Ma'am."
"You've seen a lot of minor territorial battles. Experienced managing a rifle squad?"
"Yeah. Did that before... and I can keep doing again."
"Good... because you're gonna be commanding the Ground Support team for Task Force 16 as well... Commander."
"Thank you." After NuZa answered, Halley simply stared at her, and NuZa noticed it. "I look forward to seeing Task Force 16's Alpha and Sierra teams in action. Good luck to both teams. We got your back."
Kyoko nudged Halley after hearing no reply. "Say something, Halley."
"Tch." Halley silently muttered before answering: "Thanks. Same goes to you, Commander." And NuZa raised an eyebrow on that...
Later...
While Patricia had gathered the rest of the witches, NuZa and Halley had a talk. Zakaria already docked her strikers at this time.
"Do you have a problem, Flight Lieutenant?" NuZa asked, sensing Halley had some sort of problem.
"There's no problem... Commander."
"Yes there is. I can see that you want to avoid the subject." NuZa said, and Halley crossed her arms. "So it's true?"
"Whether you're in the same team or not, it only seems right that I somehow become judgmental."
"Then you're the one in the wrong here."
"What's THAT supposed to mean?! Look... I really never worked out with a Malaysian commander before. So... it's just that I have this feeling of suspicion and doubt."
"Oh?" NuZa smirked at Halley. "Then you haven't seen me nor Adriana yet, have you?"
"Not even once."
"It's true... We're in different sides of the world and we're rarely seen. That does not mean we're not making ourselves known in a sense. We may be rarely known, but we focus more on our career than our reputation. Isn't that what you do?" Zakaria explained. "Or is it you don't seem to trust me just because of the fall of Britannian rule over the Malay Colony?"
"I don't really think it's because of past events, Commander."
"Call me NuZa."
"Okay. NuZa, what I'm really thinking about is how you get along so well with your cousin and how you became rivals. At first I thought... one is right over the other, and I thought you're the one in the wrong."
"You shouldn't think that way, you know." NuZa crossed her arms giving a reassuring smile. "At least you told me that. Thanks for letting me know. Do you think I look like that?"
"I think so."
"Then don't think of this as a further problem. See... our rivalry takes itself to new heights for some reason. She boasts of the air kills she makes while I boast my tank kills. Neuroi just don't stop after all. And we challenge each other because of that. Yeah... sometimes one of us has a bigger head than the other, but I choose not to force myself that way. She's fine on her own for all I care."
"Well, it's good to hear that. And... I'm sorry. So I had it backwards? Adriana's boasting her name off like a DJ shouting on the mic?"
"...do not!" Adriana pouted after overhearing the two. "And may I just clarify that I do have reputation and a lot of skill."
"Really? Then let's put it to the test then!" Halley said while she walked closer to Adriana. "You know, maybe we should disregard rank."
"Oh." Adriana glared at Halley. "I'd like that."
"That's enough!" NuZa got in between the two of them. "It's not worth anyone's time."
"It's worth mine." Adriana glanced from her cousin to the challenger Halley. "Tomorrow morning... Real rounds. Fine?"
"Fine."
"Fine!"
"Fine, and hell with our ranks!" Halley crossed her arms and Adriana did the same, before they were in a glaring contest of some sort.
NuZa dropped her jaw just because of this. Another rivalry was made between two witches. 'And I thought I'm the only rival Adriana's going to have for her whole career. Ladies and Gentlemen, here's Adriana the champion.' And she sighed from her thoughts. "Know what? You two just focus on your nonsense while I finish up the tour on the armory." She walked away, then eventually saw Luke and Lance together. "What do you guys say we continue on the armory tour? I wanna see the other stuff I haven't personally seen yet." And after leaving the main strikers hangar, they went back to the armory together.
Halley and Adriana were still looking at each other, growling at each other.
"Ehem..." Patricia's throat clearing got their attention. "I can certainly arrange something tomorrow morning. But I suggest you two let this day pass and work it all out tomorrow. Alright?"
"Fine with us." The two replied.
"It's good to know that. Blomgren, you got a little report to submit on this since you're taking the tone to a Lieutenant Colonel."
"Sure thing, Pat."
"And don't call me Pat, again. I'll see you later." After leaving, Patricia only noticed while at a distance that the two were glaring at each other... again. "Hah..." She smiled before walking to a nearby cooking cart, then grabbed a frying pan, and finally approached the two.
With two metal clangs, Halley and Adriana's grunts of pain were heard in the main striker hangar...
EPILOGUE...
Alarms were heard...
"Sir... someone's hacked into our files!"
"Wait, what?!"
"Sir... every file in the year 1945... Oh... NO. This isn't good... This isn't good! We're losing the damn files!"
"ENCRYPT THEM!"
"I can't, sir! It's jamming my controls and..." And an explosion was heard from his station...
Conch Republic...
"They were what?!" Director Fray said after hearing the news. "You're meaning to tell me the database was hacked, and it's unknown where it came from? Impossible!"
Old Danny and Jonathan were hearing Tyler's shouting. "Grandpa, what's going on?"
"I don't know... but it seems UNIA is having problems."
"Sir, it's happening everywhere... Digital information's being hacked up at every online database relating to history. 1945 is the definite year for this and we're being fooled around here."
"I see. Verified?
"Yes, sir. It's verified. Every single station around the world's experiencing the same thing and they're incapable of retrieving the files."
"Then start gathering every hard copy we've got... All the libraries... Even our data banks that aren't connected to the network. I'm on my way back."
"Yes, sir... we're on it."
As soon as Tyler gets his phone hidden, he approaches Old Danny and his grandson Jonathan. "You two... there's gonna be a change of plans. Not only are we not allowed here, but we have to try putting ourselves in another location. There are no Cyber-firewalls being put up at this region and we can't afford having no protection. And right now... we got bigger problems. All 1945 files from the online databases around the world for some reason are being erased. It's not the virus doing this. If it were... it would have been traced to where it's getting its power from."
"Hmm..." Daniel was thinking about it. "So... Digital data... Being erased by some sort of unknown phenomena."
"I don't have time for your nonsense, Daniel."
"No, it's not... nonsense." Danny said before he coughed and put on his oxygen mask, and inhaled its contents, before pulling it off gently. "You old organized coot. It's not that I want to ignore the situation. Something is clearly preventing us from getting info from the past. It can't really be determined as to how it's done."
"At least we're lucky events are remembered. We can't search it faster like before since we got nothing... but we can still do things manually, although slower than usual. We're still up and in business. Almost nothing's changed."
"Um..." Jonathan muttered. "Sir, what now?"
"We're going straight to DC to find out what else is left after the damn database hack. Meanwhile... I got other locations that could be good locations for building a time machine. I don't know if this'll work, but the UPASRC base could be a concrete location. Problem is... it's near or within a city. Still, it's a damn good place."
"Better than nothing, but it's rather grandpa and I head there ourselves."
"We'll have to see it for ourselves anyway." Danny said. "It's not like we got anywhere else to go after all. Better anywhere for a time machine than never, since we know how to get it done."
"Alright." Tyler replied. "I'll be heading straight back to DC then. I'm requesting another private jet for you to get there. Inspect the place... and see if there aren't any problems in the facility. Meanwhile, you two wait here. It should take a few hours before the jet arrives. They'll inform you if they're at the airstrip." And his last instructions were what the two heard from him before he left with his private jet.
Another private jet arrived at the airstrip to pick up Daniel and Jonathan, and they flew out of the Florida Keys and going straight to the UPASRC base.
If things are indeed getting worse for UNIA and the rest of the world's agencies, it was only the beginning of it...
OC DETAILS, Like I said:
[NUR ZAKARIA BINTI MAT JAAFAR nickname: NuZa, Tiger, Lady PASKAL]
"Be good as dead… or maybe I can spare you fear and shove a shell in you!" *Fires 125 mm shell…*
"ADRI! My cannon fired a prank-flag! Prankster!"
Callsign: Shell-hand, Sixteen-Victor Actual
Birthday / Age: October 4 (Aged 18 in October 2015…)
Height: 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm)
Hair: Curly black (neck lengthened) and notable red highlight strand of hair only at front
Eye color: Olive green
Skin: Fair to tanned complexion
Body Shape: Lean
Rank: Commander
Nationality: Malaysian
Affiliation: Malaysian Naval Special Forces, UNIA Special Forces, UNIA Washington DC Branch Specialists Group, UNIA Task Force 16 (Ground support)
Aircraft / Striker: PT-91M Pendekar Tank Striker Unit
Familiar: Tiger
Weapons: Primary – 125 mm Witch Cannon, Secondary – M4A1 Assault Rifle or Fabrique Nationale MAG 7.62mm general-purpose machine gun
Strikers can be equipped with: Grenade Cannon (Maximum of 10 shots) that fires two at the same time to a laser-pointed direction.
Intrinsic Ability: Detonation (As the amplified version of Amirah Sulaiman's ability Eruption, Detonation allows the user to use projectile-weapons with its projectiles landing an increased amount of damage. A shell shot from a tank doubles the explosion. A shot from any weapon makes its hole bigger due to the extreme force amplified onto the round.)
Backstory: Zakaria and Adriana, along with her newborn sister Katrina went through a bad stage in their lives after the Malay Colony had been separated from Britannian rule and have been left no choice but to move to their actual country now known as Malaysia. Along with the old Amirah Sulaiman herself, they lived their good years while adjusting to the culture of the modernized country. They've known to each other as cousins.
They registered in the military when they found out the world wasn't as peaceful as the years before, even after the Second Neuroi War and the Vietnam Neuroi Incursion. This was due to the full blessing given by Amirah after Adriana asked her about it. It was closely related to the fact that Adriana and Katrina's mother had been killed while fighting Neuroi scouts during the South Asian Neuroi Incursion in 2005.
Zakaria agreed to Adriana's decision, and began doing her best: As a Land Witch.
She was formerly a Malaysian Air Force witch, serving as a tank witch. Her reputation earns her rank of Commander since shore landing assaults are her specialty as well as early bird assaults on the ground, with her time as a marine tactician. This also gave her the alias "Sky n' Shore Surfer" since an Air Force witch can successfully command a whole unit to take on a Neuroi shore unit. This event was based on Australis. (Yes… Adriana and Zakaria met there too.)
She even got to be enlisted in the UNIA Special Forces groups, before being assigned to the DC Specialists branch and UNIA Task Force 16…

Intrinsic Ability: Super Strength (This allows the user to lift more than usual with the help of magic. As the name suggests, it will allow additional strength to flow in the user.)
Backstory: Adriana and along with her sister Katrina are direct descendants of Amirah Sulaiman, a witch serving the military during the Second Neuroi War.
Zakaria and Adriana, along with her newborn sister Katrina went through a bad stage in their lives after the Malay Colony had been separated from Britannian rule since 2001 and have been left no choice but to move to their actual country now known as Malaysia. Along with the old Amirah Sulaiman herself, they lived their good years while adjusting to the culture of the modernized country. They've known to each other as cousins.
They registered in the military when they found out the world wasn't as peaceful as the years before, even after the Second Neuroi War and the Vietnam Neuroi Incursion. This was due to the full blessing given by Amirah after Adriana asked her about it. It was closely related to the fact that Adriana and Katrina's mother had been killed while fighting Neuroi scouts during the South Asian Neuroi Incursion in 2005.
2005 was also the time Adriana had to send Katrina away to a place that's safer from Malaysia's dangerous neighborhoods. Kat was four that time, and both her and Adriana got tears to shed from them before they separated. Adri wiped the tears off her face as soon as Katrina left, knowing tears to cry aren't going to heal every single wound she'll have when she fights.
While Adriana is taking her time in fighting, she also made time in studying intelligence and tactics, which boosted her rank. And only from her time of four years as a fighter and a tactician, she became a Lieutenant Colonel…
She recently joined the UNIA Australis Research Regiment discovering new Neuroi species and researching new weapons against them. Along with it came the times that they had to fight the hive, along with a surprise guest, who was supposed to be dead. She later transferred to UNIA Task Force 16…
And a side note: Adriana is a joker, and a cruel prankster too.
And… I'm done. See ya'll next chapter. Next week, I guess. ;) Leave a review or PM me on it! Thanks!
