ATTENTION READ FIRST BEFORE YOU READ THE STORY!

This story will only be consisted of six chapters and these chapters based on the major turning points in the first season of The Familiar of Zero; these include:

-Obligatory Guiche Fight (It's a staple in FoZ fanfics)

-Saving Siesta from Count Mott

-Fouquet's Arrival

-The Trip to Albion

-The Discovery of the WW2 aircraft

-Reconquista's Declaration of War to Tristain

I am only writing these episodes due to my extreme laziness to write longer chapters, with this I can at least get a 'complete' on my list of in-complete stories; and this is also to practice extending my inspiration instead of losing interest on day seven. I'll change some of the things in FoZ like the 'Staff of Destruction' and the WW2 aircraft. So without further ado enjoy!

Chapter 3.1

Rise in Power

Michael stretched as he was finally outside that cursed carriage, despite all of the fancy design that it brought and the comfy seats it offered it still somehow made him uncomfortable. The time it too for the ride to reach the kingdom didn't make it any better. A few days later after the event with Fouquet a carriage came and picked up both Louise and Michael.

The reason behind Louise joining is because Michael also want her to be part of the training, he knew her incapability to cast magic and this didn't sit right with Michael, while Louise protested that she didn't need to be trained Michael insisted and reasoned that if her wand was for some reason knocked out of her grasp she'd be a sitting duck. In the end Louise relented and thus why she's right beside Michael now as they neared the premises of the castle. Michael was greeted by Princess Henrietta and beside her was Agnes along.

"Good morning princess," Michael said with a smile on his face.

"Good morning to you too Michael, I hope the ride here didn't take too long for your taste,"

"It's nothing really princess, although it is feel nice to be out of that carriage, it feels like I suffocating there,"

Henrietta nodded as she too can relate, with all of the meetings with nobles from other countries, if she could hazard a guess most of the time she spent was inside that blasted carriage. Henrietta now turned to Louise who blushed as she was greeted good morning, Louise replied shyly with a good morning, the group finally entered the castle to which Michael observed with fascination.

"This amazes you Michael?" the princess asked.

Michael gave a nod, "While Earth has its beauties they're mostly technological beauties, place that nature still reside in are almost a rare occurrence in my world, and the castles in my worlds are usually destroyed due to war times,"

"That is very unfortunate, I am glad that despite how futuristic your world is, there are some beauties that can't be challenged by time,"

They entered in a large room where there were large windows that led to a balcony, next to the windows was a table with three seats, taking a seat next to Louise, the both waited as a maid entered the room holding what seems to be tea.

"While I'm a coffee person myself, tea is nice from time to time," Michael subtly complained.

This wasn't missed out by the three people was with Michael as two of them had looks of anger while the princess had surprised eyes, "I'm sorry but what is 'coffee'?"

Michael smile and explained to them that it was a drink that contained a drug called caffeine.

"Is it dangerous?" Agnes asked cautiously.

Michael shook his head, "Coffee is almost a staple from where I'm from, people who usually work till dawn drink it to keep themselves awake and this is because of the caffeine that's inside it,"

"So it's like an energy potion," Henrietta suggested.

"I suppose you could say that, but some people have different preferences, some like their coffee bitter, some sweet and some with cream,"

Louise's face scrunched up in disgust, "Why would you drink something that's bitter?"

"The bitterness is what make the coffee unique as the more bitter it is the stronger the caffeine is, you can always ease the bitterness by adding cream and sugar, in my opinion I like mine black, but back to business,"

Henrietta nodded as her face now became serious, "I would like to know what services you can your training offer that my current generals couldn't?"

Michael gave a nod, before he began his report he asked for a black board. A few minutes later a black board came. Finally Michael began to explain.

"I'll be training willing soldiers and Royal Musketeers, the basics of gun safety, the parts and functions of new weapons and finally new strategies…"

This discussion went on for some time and as it went on the interest for both Agnes and Henrietta began to increase.

Michael along with Henrietta and some of her generals stood in front of a small crowd of new trainees, Michael also notice how there are more women than men in the crowd. It was clearly understandable as the women are the ones more experienced in firearms while the men swung sword. There were some faces he recognized as they showed up in the competition at the Magic Academy. Said trainees also recognized Michael and began debriefing some of the uninformed members. The princess approached the stand and raised a hand bidding the trainees to silence. Once it was quiet Henrietta spoke.

"I thank you all for volunteering in this new branch of our military; your instructor is Sgt. Michael Fujiwara. Some of you may recognize him and some of you don't this is your chance to get to know him more, he brings technology from his… country and he is willing to share this technology to us, he is also willing to train all of you so that you may also be able to use this technology. I hope that after this we will be stronger and more capable in defending this beloved country,"

Applause was given to the princess; she stepped off the stand allowing Michael to replace her.

"Like the princess says I thank you all for volunteering willingly to this new branch of military, but before I start going into specifics I would like suggest all of those who are unsure or hesitant to leave immediately,"

His voice suddenly became serious and an unsettling atmosphere loomed over the trainees, "I don't tolerate weakness, this training will push all of your body parts to the limit. I will personally break all of you and rebuild all of you to stronger soldiers, there will be struggles but as the saying goes 'no pain, no gain'. Now I'll say it again, for those who are showing even a sliver of hesitation please leave,"

After waiting for a minute, Michael saw that no one left, "Very well, now allow me to begin. This branch of military will contain two sub-branches and one special branch: Law enforcement: for those of you who prefer to protect the kingdom within the city you can choose this sub branch, Tristainian Trooper Corps or TTC; this branch is for those who wants to defend the kingdom in the front lines, and finally a special branch that you can only enter through my permission, the Spartan Corps; the Spartan Corps conduct missions from behind enemy lines, whether it is to apprehend an important person or assassinate a high value target only the Spartan Corps capable of conducting this missions.

Please put your name in the list and next to it put the sub-branch you're joining, after that come to me to get your uniform and equipment."

-LINE BREAK-

Lisette Monaro, daughter of Garfield Monaro and Mayra Monaro, also a member of the Royal Musketeer. She had green eyes and had light blonde hair that stretched down to her neck, her bangs were combed on the left side.

It had been three days since she registered in the Law Enforcement branch, the uniform was rather comfy though she doesn't know how to feel about the color black that covers it, the vest that she wore was quite heavy but she could manage. She had seen the demonstration Instructor Michael showed during the familiar competition and to be honest with herself, she was scared. But to her surprise when she found out that he's willing to share that type of technology she joined immediately, eager to experience the weapon that Michael used to defeat Fouquet.

All of that came to a stop when she saw the weapon that was given to her group. She stared at the peculiar weapon that was given to them, it was smaller than a musket but larger than a flintlock, it had two legs one slanted to the left while the other longer one slanted to the right, the stock of the weapon was a triangle shape, the barrel of the weapon was shorter than the musket and the sight was circular and this was all covered with a sleek black paint. Instructor Michael finally appeared holding the same weapon that her group held.

"Good morning, today I'll be teaching you gun safety 101, the weapon that is in your hands is called the UMP-45, a remarkable weapon that is used in law enforcement from where I come from, it fires .45 ACP rounds at a rate of 600 per minute,"

This gave some shocked reactions, while Lisette merely raised her eyes. She shouldn't be surprised considering she witnessed Michael shoot a gun that was of the same speed. She raised her and to which Michael acknowledged.

"Instructor, what is '.45 ACP rounds'?"

".45 ACP rounds are the bullets that reside in the clip of your gun," Michael said as he patted on the longer leg of the gun.

"The clip contains 25.45 ACP rounds… now anymore questions?"

"How can this weapon be better than the current muskets we have?" a man asked.

Michael smiled and turned around; they all followed what he was looking at, a dummy roughly a hundred meter away, Lisette carefully payed attention to the smooth movements Michael did; he pressed a button just above the clip removing it, he re-inserted it, he pulled a small thing that was protruding from the side of the gun then letting go giving a click sound, after that she payed close attention to his posture, his body was sideways and legs were spread out, his right elbow was perpendicular to his body as it held the trigger and his left arm held the underside of the barrel, finally he pulled the trigger. Loud cracks of thunder echoed the training yard as they all flinched at the sound of the gun firing, Lisette resisted the loud noise and looked at his desired target and to her surprise he managed to land every bullet.

Finally the firing stopped leaving all to gawk at the firepower of the weapon.

Michael turned to greet the trainees. "Does anyone have any more questions?"

When no one gave he proceeded with the lesson, "right first rule of gun safety 101 is that…"

The lesson continued for another hour or so, Lisette payed attention to all of it sinking all of the important points Michael gave. When it was finally over Michael told them to go to the former Musketeer shooting range where they can test out the UMP-45.

When they finally reached Michael turned around and pointed at Lisette, "You first, show me how to use the gun,"

"W-why me sir?" she asked.

"I notice you've been observing me for quite some time now. So please demonstrate to us,"

Lisette gulped and approached to one of the shooting stations, "Okay I can do this… first I press this button, then I insert the clip, pull this then fire!"

She was interrupted when something was blocking the trigger from being pulled all the way, she panicked and thought that the gun was broken, murmurs were beginning to rise and Michael stood there with calculating eyes.

"What am I missing? I did all the movements he did, did I break it, oh no I probably broke it great now I'm going to have to pa-"

Her train of thought halted when a hand latched onto her shoulder, she traced the shoulder to see Michael with a supportive smile, "Calm down… okay first you need to know why the gun won't fire, and I'll tell you right now. It's not broken,"

Lisette looked at her gun all the while avoiding looking down the barrel; finally she saw the cause of problem.

"My gun was on safety this whole time!"

Switching the mode to full auto she fixed her body to the same way Michael did and pulled the trigger this time yielding good results. She was surprised that the recoil of the gun was way better than the musket or the flintlock as she could easily lead where the bullets would land. When it was finally over Michael gave a slow clap.

"Great job, I expect great things from you Lisette," Michael said before turning to face the crowd.

"Alright go to one of the stations and do the same!"

Sweat showered Lisette as she sprinted towards the next obstacle course. Two weeks have passed since her firearm demonstration and to her surprise most of the trainees looked up to her as she was one of the special cases where she could adapt to new things quite easily. She vaulted over a toppled log as she chased the human sized earth golem.

This new type of exercise was definitely different that the old training regiment, first she was to breach a pseudo house, Michael explained that this helps in determining who's a friendly or not, after completing the breach the next stage of the training involved target practice and learning how to switch to her sidearm, the P226, finally a training of stamina and agility was conducted all of which was timed.

When she finally reached the earth golem she tackled it hard enough that it shattered when they both landed on the ground.

"Time!"

Lisette turned over, breathing heavily as she waited for the results.

"Two minutes and seven second… good job on beating your old record, but I still see more potential in you," Michael sternly said.

Lisette nodded and walked to the side where all the other trainees that already finished their turn, she caught a towel thrown at her direction, looking at the direction where the towel came from she saw one of the trainees, Elyion Macabre, she had black hair that reached down to her neck, her bangs were cut giving off a bowl haircut, her dark brown eyes stared at Lisette's green eyes, she was a few centimeters shorter than Lisette and finally a small scar that marked her beautiful face on her left cheek.

"Good job Lis!" Elyion said.

Lisette smile as she sat down next to her, she gave a long sigh, finally relaxing after a taxing workout by their merciless instructor.

"Thanks Ely, but I don't think Instructor Michael approves of my improvement," She said giving a smile.

Elyion waved her hand, "It doesn't matter if he thinks that way. What matters is that you managed to beat you old record and that's saying something since the average time is around four minutes, "

Again Lisette thanked her friend, they stayed like this for a few minutes while watching some of the trainees go through the obstacle course. Finally when all of the trainees are done they were all called to attention. Instinctively standing straight the two friends stood shoulder to shoulder to each other as Michael yelled at one of the trainees for messing up on the first part of the obstacle course before ordering the trainee to do thirty push-ups. Averting his eyes from the trainee Michael looked at Lisette and gestured for her to come towards her. Not wanting to end up like the trainee she followed and stood next to Michael. Michael did this to three other trainees which confused them.

"Alright, Lisette I want you to pick five people, from all of these trainees to be your squad mates"

"I beg your pardon sir?" Lisette asked completely thrown off by his request.

"Did I not make it clear?" Michael said glowering slightly.

"I heard you loud and clear sir!" Lisette instinctively stood straight.

Lisette first pointed at Elyion and then followed by a blonde man, then a woman with purple hair, then a petite girl with red streaks, and finally a big burly man with balding hair.

Michael looked at the faces of the trainees Lisette picked, "Elyion Macabre, Jaune Arciosis, Helewys Ymir, Juliana Pertoken and Bryce Mowbray. Are you sure about them?"

Lisette gave an affirmative. Michael nodded and proceeded to do the same thing with the other three future squad leaders. Once the squads were formed Michael looked at all of them.

"These will be your squad leaders, and your duty is to follow their orders, refusing them would lead to treason and punishment is getting kicked out of this branch. Squad leaders these are you squad members your duties are to give responsible orders so that your squad would be able to complete a mission with efficiency and bringing them back alive, I chose you to be squad leaders because I have faith that you will lead these brave men and women to victory and that they will be able to go home to their friends and family in one piece. You will all go together as a team, consider them as a family as they will be watching your back and vice versa. From this point on you will work not alone but as a team. Am I understood?"

"SIR, YES SIR!" everyone yelled.

Lisette nervously grabbed her UMP-45 did the process of reloading her weapon, three hellish weeks of training has led up to this moment, throughout those three weeks she learned more about her squad mates; Elyion was a simple commoner living in the lower district until Captain Agnes founder and took her in the Musketeer Corps, she's been hailed as an 'angel' due to her very friendly attitude and cheerful attitude.

Jaune Arciosis was a farm boy that lived outside the walls of the kingdom before making a small name for himself as he saved three farm houses from a bandit raid, he's around the same height as Elyion, he had scraggly blonde hair and deep blue eyes, he told them that his dream, while it sounds stupid, was to be a hero that the commoners look up to, while fairly built due to the training their put under he was nothing compared to the other male in her team.

Bryce Mowbray, was what Lisette considered a nice giant, she even questioned how the uniform fit snuggly on his broad chest, out of all of the members in her team Bryce was actually the youngest of the group but he gives off an aura of maturity, he doesn't talk much and when he does it's only a yes, no or a one line answer but that is not to say he is shy, he butted heads with Helewys more than once and even protected Juliana when she was getting bullied by one of the squads. He was bald, but his dark eyes were more than enough to intimidate his enemy if his size wasn't enough.

Juliana Pertoken, is the team's stress relief, her petite form and short hair with red streaks made her much more cuter, her silver eyes showed experience with a sword but that doesn't mean she's not good with a rifle, she was actually known to be a sharpshooter in the Musketeer Corps, she managed to hit targets with deadly accuracy from insane ranges and while her childish nature seems to contradict with her skills in combat she has proven over and over that size doesn't matter.

Finally there's Helewys Ymir, she had purple hair that was styled into a pixie cut, her eyes were a deep shade of lilac and she was just eye level with Lisette. If Lisette were to describe her in four words it would be 'a ticking time bomb'. Despite her hotheadedness though Ymir sincerely cares for her team, she waited for Juliana to catch up when she accidentally tripped on a log during the obstacle course, she helped Jaune with his aim during target practice and even offered her bed to Lisette when they found out that the barracks didn't have enough bed for all of them. She also has a big crush on Bryce, Lisette tried to help her out but it always ended up with a small fight between her and the your burly man.

All in all though Lisette couldn't have asked for better squad mates, so why was she nervous?

"Alpha Team, you're up!" Michael yelled.

Today was a what Michael called a 'simulation', she didn't know what it meant; all Michael told them two weeks before the simulation was 'be prepared'. Of course when Lisette heard this she didn't know what to be prepared for so she assumed that they needed training, and right now all she can hope for was that her squad's training would suffice.

Michael approached the squad alongside an earth mage; said mage erected a small table to which Michael used to lean his hands on, "Hope you've been training your squad, Ms. Lisette?"

"I've trained them to be prepared for anything you throw at us sir!" she said instinctively standing up straight.

Michael grinned, "I hope so, moving on to the reason why I called all of you. Today I'll be overlooking the simulation, now if you're asking 'what's a simulation?' it's where I put your squad in a pseudo-real time scenario; this can range from multiple things like, hostage situations, drug busts, reconnaissance and a major robbery, and a bomb defusal, you will be doing three random objectives in one go, the fastest team to finish with the least mistakes will gain my approval to go for the first mission that shows up, do I make myself clear?"

Murmurs started to come from the squads, some with alarm and some were neutral, only Lisette's squad was actually calm. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said to their leader as she was hyperventilating reach a stone corner.

"I prepared my squad for a simulation right? Did we train enough? Could we even finish all the objectives in small time?"

Her train of thought halted when a hand landed on her shoulder; following the arm she found out that it belonged to Elyion, dark brown stared at green eyes then Elyion gave a sweet smile.

"We got this captain!"

"We trained harder than any other team; they'll have to try harder to reach our level of awesome!" Juliana said.

Nods and grunts of approval were given easing Lisette's worries. Finally calm she walked back to the stone table and looked at Michael with resolve on her eyes.

"You ready?" Michael asked.

Giving a nod to her instructor Michael looked and gestured for him to do something. The stone table shifted into something they recognize, the interior of a house. "Alright Alpha Team here's your scenario: 'Bandits have raided a noble's two story house while the noble isn't home the household maid saw them and opted to scream, she was heard by the neighborhood but then nothing else was heard afterwards. Your squad arrives on the scene.'

Lisette time to debrief your squad on how to proceed with this situation, your timer starts now!" Michael finished.

Lisette nodded and observed the layout all the while plotting different strategies. Once done she finally looked up to see her squad waiting eagerly, taking a deep breath she spoke.

"First we'll require reconnaissance; we'll try to roughly estimate how many bandits raided the how, after that we split into two teams; I, Juliana and Elyion will be Team A while Jaune will be leading Team B…"

As Lisette explained the plan Michael looked at the female squad leader with a grin on his face, "A minute in and she's already got a decent plan. Quite impressive,"

"…Juliana and Helewys will stay on the first floor to conduct a proper search, remember the situation is very vague so we need to be prepared for anything, finally the rest of you will follow me upstairs where we'll clear the place and rescue the hostage, Time is of the essence here, everybody ready?"

The squad gave one last check on their equipment before saying 'ready!' in unison.

The simulation was a finely sculpted two story house with a wooden door and square holes meant to signify windows. Team A approached the front door and waited for the signal to conduct a breach and clear. Lisette's radio came to life hearing the voice of Jaune.

"Were in position, waiting for your signal,"

"Copy, on my mark" Lisette said.

She held the door knob and gestured for Juliana to take out a flashbang, when Lisette opened the door the petite girl immediately threw the flashbang. They closed the door again waiting to the explosion.

BOOM!

"Breach and clear!" Lisette yelled before opening the door widely allowing Elyion and Juliana to enter.

Gunshots were heard in the house signaling Team B; vaulting over the back window Team B had just made it in time to see Team A enter the room this meant they the whole squad was able to see what the bandits look like up close; during the reconnaissance part of Lisette's plan they only managed to see glimpses of the bandits but now that they're up close they could see the detailed look of an earth-human golem, this is all thanks to the earth mage being a square class, one of the bandits was holding a stone sculpted crossbow with a blunt arrow, while it was disoriented it managed to make the shape of one of the squad mates. It aimed at Elyion who was still exposed a little. Unfortunately for the golem Jaune was quicker, aiming the UMP-45 he pulled the trigger allowing a burst of bullets to hit the golem, the golem collapsed signifying its 'death'.

Moving to his next target Jaune saw three more bandits but this time two of them were still stunned from the flashbang while one blindly charged at Jaune only to be put down Lisette who was perching behind the same sofa Elyion was in, Helewys and Juliana took care of the last two bandits.

Lisette made a gesture to regroup, once all six were together they moved on to step three of the plan; Jaune and Helewys stayed behind and began sweeping the first floor. Meanwhile the rest walked up the stairs in a single file line with Lisette leading followed by Bryce then Juliana and finally Elyion. Once up on the second floor a hallway greeted them with three rooms, the four pushed on and stopped on the first door, Lisette placed her ear on the door listening to any noise that was created.

Nothing

Not trusting her senses she gestured for a breach and clear the team huddled up on both sides of the door, once they were ready Lisette face the door and gave it a strong kick, the door slammed on the wall and the four filled the room to find an empty working office.

"Clear," Bryce said.

"Clear!" Juliana followed up.

The team left the room and proceeded with the second and third room. Splitting up into pairs with Lisette and Bryce huddled on the second door and Elyion and Juliana on the third door. Lisette raised her right hand with her fingers open; she balled her hand into a fist signaling the rest of the team. Like clockwork; Lisette and Juliana held the door knobs while Bryce and Elyion held on an unpinned flash bang, doors were opened, flashbangs were thrown and two consecutive booms later the pairs entered the room and flushed the final bandits.

Lisette saw a bandit getting out of cover, clearly it took cover avoiding the flash, and she raised her gun and fired three shots killing it. Just out of her peripheral vision she saw another bandit aiming its crossbow at her, she knew aiming the UMP-45 at the bandit would take too long so she dropped it, allowing it to hang on her hip and reached for her sidearm. This proved much faster as she managed to aim the pistol just in time. Pulling the trigger three times another bandit died while Bryce finished off the last one which was hiding behind the corner.

She regarded Bryce with a nod before hearing the radio come to life again.

"This is Elyion; the room is cleared and we've secured the hostage,"

"This is Jaune; sweep is complete and no bombs and we found where they're hiding the stuff they stole,"

"This is Lisette; we've cleared the room and getting ready to leave the house,"

Stepping out of the room, Lisette saw Elyion exit while holding an earth-maid golem. They went downstairs in a single line with the maid in between them. Once they reached the first floor they see Jaune with a grin while Helewys was shouldering a sack that's supposed to be the stolen goods. All six exited the house, once they're outside the maid collapsed back into the earth and a voice echoed.

"Time!"

They looked forward to see Michael and to their surprise Princess Henrietta along with three generals. Michael and Henrietta had proud smiles on her face while her generals had looks of shock.

"It took you guys one minute and forty-seven seconds of debriefing, one minute and fifteen seconds of reconnaissance and it took you all three minutes and eleven seconds to clear the building and rescue the hostage, adding up to a total of six minutes and thirteen seconds. Good work!"

Lisette stood straight and saluted; her squad followed her action and saluted as well. Michael dismissed them and moved on to the next team.

The simulation was over and Michael looked at each team with calculating eyes, each squad was nervous waiting for the result. After waiting for another minute he spoke.

"I'll be blunt and I'll start with the team that did the worst and that is Bravo Squad. Your objectives were drug bust, hostage rescue and capture an important person. While you managed to kill all targets you completely disregarded the hostages and caught them in the crossfire, you allowed the target that was supposed to be apprehended escape all because of your carelessness. Your communications and synergy was sloppy. I expected greater things… but it seems that my faith in your squad is misplaced. Mr. Arthur I expect improvement in span of next month."

"Y-yes sir" Arthur said before going back to his squad.

"Next is Delta Squad. Your objectives were disarming a bomb, major robbery and hostage rescue; I am glad that you managed to complete all objectives but it took you fifteen minutes and thirty eight seconds to complete the simulation. In real scenarios hostages would be dead already, the bandits have already escaped and the bomb had already detonated. Ms. Janet please work on your squad's speed"

"Yes sir," Janet said.

"Charlie Squad. Your objectives were to disarm a bomb, drug bust and assassinate an important person. I am glad to say that you completed all the objectives in a decent time of seven minutes and fifty one seconds, but my main issue is that your squad used up all your ammunition very fast and at the very last objective you all resorted to hand to hand combat. While there is no problem in that I just want you all to know that CQC will not always work so please Ms. Krea, teach your squad the values of conserving ammunition,"

"Yes sir," Krea said.

"And finally, Alpha Squad. Your objectives were major robbery, hostage rescue and assassination of an important person. All squad should aspire to be in your level, your communication and coordination was outstanding, Ms. Lisette your decision of splitting up your squad into groups was a good choice as it helped you save time and you managed to finish all of this in record time. Six minutes and thirteen seconds a little faster you would have beaten Fireteam Harmony's average recorded time,"

"What's the average time for Fireteam Harmony sir?"

Michael grinned and gave her the answer, "five minutes and forty eight seconds,"

Lisette's shoulder was knocked to the side to see Elyion ginning, "Told you, we got this, a little more we would have been better than Instructor Michael's team,"

Michael chuckled, "I wouldn't be so sure about that Ms. Elyion… Well I'm pretty sure you all know now who won this simulation. Alpha Squad… I expect great things from all of you,"

Alpha Squad for their part stood straight with their heads up high, "SIR, YES SIR!"

A/N: 5.6k words… I'm pushing my limits aren't I? Anyways I hope you enjoyed this subchapter. Please tell me if you want more of this as I am glad to oblige to that. I hope I displayed how Lisette's squad assessed the situation as accurate as a SWAT team, please tell me how close or far I was.

Yes I added OCs as well, don't worry you'll all be seeing more of Michael and Louise, these subchapters are just meant for world building. But that doesn't mean this is the last time you'll hear from Alpha Squad. Expect them in the next chapter as well.

That's all I have to say. I really do hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I do. And with that I bid you all farewell.

Peace~
