A/N: Apologies for the delay, school has started, and I've been working on other stories. Going in order, we now have our England team. Please enjoy another chapter of Touhou: Outer World Combat.

"Ah, how pleasant it is to come to New England, and find the same crusader sector still here, ready to be ripped apart."

"I as well, Ojou-Sama. I am eager to find how the Templars have changed after all these years, and to see whether they are still as incompetent as I remember."

"Your wish is my command, Mistress, although I am joyed to know that we shall be engaging one of our oldest rival organizations very soon."

A trio walked silently through nighttime England, their footsteps unhearable throughout the street on which they walked upon, dressed in pure black stealth suits designed to assist in blending in with the night.

As Remilia walked on with confidence in her stride, Sakuya and Vector brought up the rear, cautious of hostiles, Vector communicated with Sakuya in their com channel.

"I can only presume that you were once a soldier? Your stance, your demeanor, it all speaks volumes of who you were, perhaps of who you still are. Might I inquire whom you were affiliated with?"

With a chuckle, Sakuya responds, "Once, many years ago, I was a member of the Templars themselves, high ranked even. Have you heard of the Timeless Mage?"

With a massive laugh, Vector says while cracking his insides, "Hahaha! So you were the one who managed to eliminate General Rowen! My thanks for that one by the way. We were about to send a death squad to remove him from power, being the corrupt, fat bastard that he was, but when we got there, all we had to do was clean up the body. From that assassination, I see that you are quite the efficient killer, leaving no blood trace nearby and even masking your scent. Impressive indeed."

With a chuckle, Remilia responds, "Well, I do pick the best servants after all~"

With a nod of the head, Sakuya and Vector simultaneously say, "Of course, Ojou-Sama."

As the three glance at one another, they all burst into giggles at the synchronization of their responses.

As the fireteam turned yet another corner, the trio immediately slip back into the shadows of their spot, as a troublesome sight met their ocular senses.

A massive checkpoint filled to the brim with powerful military technologies could be seen in plain sight, deterring any civilians curious about the royal district from entering. Laser technology was their standard armament, with identified Anti Magic War Machines.

Waves upon waves of infantry could also be seen, manning turrets and checking constantly for intruders and deterring others from approaching.

The checkpoint also included dozens of tracking devices, ranging from thermal to motion to even night vision.

Worst of all, Anti Magic fields could be seen all around the area, preventing an easy trip through with their powers, or even with their moonlight manipulation stealth cloaks, not including what had been reported to be an anti magic flying dome, which covered the entire area.

As the trio continued to observe the checkpoint with an analyst's eye, they went over possible routes and information available to them.

"Currently, our largest threat is the anti magic flying field, since we won't be able to fly in and bypass the land security. We can't call in for additional forces, since they would be slaughtered and the meeting would be postponed, and we would lose one of the greatest opportunities to strike a blow against both the Religious and political centers of Great Britain." Sakuya reported calmly, her every word clear and filled only with truth.

"Not only that, but the reports from Yuyuko-Sama and Youmu-San reveal several disturbing details about the capabilities of these War Machines. The tanks possess incredible laser weaponry, each shot far exceeding a 2S7M Mialka's nuclear payload by a multiple of 5 despite its relatively small size. The walkers on the other hand, are among humanity's most terrifying military vehicles. With armor on the scale of presidential bunkers, laser weaponry that can even partially damage Genesis, and anti magic field generators, these machines should be avoided at all times if possible." Vector spoke calmly as well, delivering his own information with distinction.

Mulling over the information, Remilia made her decision.

"In that case, we'll just have to sneak our way through the checkpoints, now won't we?" A grin made itself known on her face as she observed her two subordinates, whom had sighed in amusement, having expected the order.

"It shall be done, Ojou-Sama." The duo bow, before the trio prepare their weapons. Vector's stealthed energy familiars come out in full force, Sakuya draws her enchanted knives as well as her Youkai annihilation blade, and Remilia brings out a miniaturized Gungnir, all of them black in color to blend in with the night, as the fire team begins their operation...

In Checkpoint Alpha, a trio of patrolling guards were manning one of the many watchtowers positioned throughout the checkpoint.

The first comments as they observe the area in their Steiner-Optik binoculars, "I do wonder whether anyone will even attempt to breach the stronghold. What do you think?"

The second looks through his AS-50's scope, scoffing as he responded with, "I sincerely doubt any hostiles would attempt to approach such a heavily armed checkpoint, and any Youkai most likely would be annihilated if they were to approach. They don't have anyone suitable to break through either way."

In the background, a third man breathes lightly, as he sleeps contently during his sleeping shift.

Shaking his head slightly, the first responds, "Haven't you heard of what happened in the US? They got hit by this massive mechanical war machine, and then they got hit by one of their own nu- What in god's name was that?"

The sniper looks through his scope, unseeing of what he was referring to, as the spotter whispers, "Adjust your sight to 16X Zoom, and tell me what you see."

The sniper comments, uncertain in his speech, "I think I see a shadow..."

A whistling sound is barely heard as the trio fall down to the floor of the watchtower, the first slumped over on his binoculars with a black coated silver knife in his skull, pierced cleanly to the brain with no gore splatter, while the second collapsed upon his mounted rifle, having had a heart attack, triggered by a pure energy infiltration of the human body by an energy familiar, whereas the third had a small spear poking out from his chest, gleaming blood dripping down its tip as it returned to its owner in a blink.

All throughout Checkpoint, the same phenomena occurred to scores of soldiers as each fell silent in their death throes. A duo of ground patrolling guards were grabbed suddenly and pulled into the shadows, their throats slit before being stuffed into the disposal containers, even as another duo was vaporized without a sound, their bodies disintegrating into nothingness as their insides literally melted into their core elements.

"Spell Card: Perfect Maid."

"Technique: Blades of Lethality."

"Illusionary Gungnir."

Another trio was conversing casually before they suddenly appeared inside a disposal truck, their brains pierced cleanly, as several energy familiars stabbed another duo in their backs, before lifting them away and out of sight. A squad housed within a tent playing cards all fell over as their bodies were suddenly mutilated by numerous spear wounds in the same instant, even as another pair of troops passing by met the same fate.

The stealthy trio paused behind a stronghold with an anti magic generator, as the conversation of a dozen soldiers came to their ears from around the corner.

Sakuya readied her knives even as the duo also prepared their weapons, before she held up a hand, counting down from three.

At zero, they trio burst of of their cover, slicing apart the squad before they could even react, dismembering them into deformed figures with Vector ripping them into shreds with his favorite enchanted Odachi blades in a burst of incredible speed, especially for a mere human, Sakuya tagging several of them in the head with her throwing knives, and Remilia stabbing several with Gungnir in a flash of vampiric speed.

With that, Sakuya paused time, moving the bodies to the inside of the stronghold's disposal area, before she resumed time, as the trio continued on in their haste to quickly move through the checkpoint, for every second that they spent inside was another second for their presence to be revealed.

With the others none the wiser, even with an entire platoon dead amidst their ranks, the trio of supernatural soldiers ghost their path through the Checkpoint, leaving behind a wave of death as they advanced past and made it to their destination...

The palace loomed before the trio whom had retracted their stealth suits back into their standby bracelets at Remilia's orders, as the outside was guarded by a few doormen and elite guards, the security forces having been entirely directed to protecting the outside. Unworried by the ones inside the security net, the queen had only kept her private infantry company guarding the outside, more so out of habit than anything else.

Remilia strode confidently to the front entrance as her charismatic air flared slightly, her demeanor becoming the fine lady of England that she once was.

"Hello dear gentlemen. We have an appointment with the Queen and her war cabinet." Remilia said, as the door guards fumbled over themselves in awe of her stature.

"O-of course, just allow me to confirm this..." The first guard said, as he keyed the intercom, and asked, "Lady erm,"

Remilia responded with her own name, as he said as Sakuya and Vector tense in response by leaving their hands ready to draw their weapons, expecting the guard detail to open fire soon, "Lady Remilia has an audience with her Majesty. May they enter-"

As a woman's voice fills the intercom, she speaks eloquently, "Why dear Remilia, do please come in! And I must apologize for the rude welcoming, I hadn't known of your arrival, nor of your affiliation with this new Youkai Alliance."

Remilia smirks as she responds formally, "Why, is that the descendant of Jamesy the First I hear?"

"Indeed. Why he let you call him that though, I must question. Now, if you would be so kind as to enter, we have much to discuss, over evening tea that is."

A duo of door guards opened the massive doors, granting admittance to the trio as they entered, before the doors closed behind them, leaving them in the center throne room, where the war council was convening.

As the doors opened, the room's occupants glanced annoyed at the trio whom had entered and seated themselves with a previously hidden servant setting down a particular tea set upon the ornate table in front of Remilia, before one of them said, "What fool is interrupting our meeting-"

"Enough of that Edward. You insult a dear friend of mine, Remilia Scarlet." Queen Elizabeth the Second stated, a warm smile upon her features as she observed the leader of the trio.

The council member known as Edward quieted down immediately before she continued to speak even as Sakuya begun adjusting the tea for Remilia's tastes, "Now, what brings you to my humble abode, Lady Scarlet, advisor to a line of England's rulers?"

Shock filled the room, the duo of Sakuya and Vector also surprised at the revelation as she responded, "Well, two matters currently. The first being I still need a painting of James the First's wedding, and that you continue to assault the United Youkai Alliance in this besotted war of a misplaced religious information."

Several guards left the room at the Queen Elizabeth's order to acquire the painting that had been preserved over the centuries, even as an Incident occurred.

The current Patriarch of England, known as William Bonnet stood and began yelling, "How dare you insult God?! I will have you know filthy vampire, that we should have killed you centuries ago when we murdered your parents-"

Several energy familiars lifted the man by his throat and body, and shot him over to the trio, even as Sakuya brought a knife to his throat in perfect synchronization. The duo flashed a grin at one another for their teamwork, as the man attempted to yell once again, before Sakuya applied additional pressure, keeping him silent.

Remilia stood before the man before looking straight into his soul, whispering, "So you are the descendant of the ones who ordered that assassination of the Scarlet Mansion all those years ago."

With mirth in his eyes, he responded smugly, "Indeed I was! I am thankful for god's decision to cleanse the earth of you monsters, and to kill all of you Youkai!"

And then he committed an unforgivable act.

He spat in Remilia's face.

As Sakuya broke her calm demeanor in rage, about to slit his throat before torturing him horrifically, Vector place a placating hand on her shoulder, shaking his head as she calmed down, relinquishing her choke hold on the man, before he coughed in pain.

Remilia wiped away the spittle from her cheek with a her own handkerchief before gesturing a hand to Vector.

Bowing, Vector coaxed one of his energy familiars from his shoulder to Remilia's hand, even as the familiar shirked away in fear, not wanting to leave the comfort of its master's control.

As Vector sighed, he said soothingly, "Come now dear, you'll still feel part of my connection. Now, on you go. Our Mistress awaits."

As the energy familiar reluctantly shuffled over to Remilia's waiting hand, she enshrouded her right hand in its phasing matter form, before she plunged it into the man's chest, taking hold of his heart, feeling its coursing, and extremely quick beat as his fear arose in spades.

Smiling slightly, Vector still holding him still as Sakuya poured her modified tea for her mistress, Remilia slowly crushed his heart, before she stopped its beat with a precise valve shutdown, giving him a heart attack, even as he gargled his final words, "Monster..."

As the Patriarch's life faded away, the last words he heard before he passed on were, "A monster I may be, but am I not among England's most influential figures?"

As the man died and his body was given to a pair of guards who had appeared, Queen Elizabeth commented coldly, all of her previous warmth gone, her posture perfectly military despite her old age, "I would ask you to not murder my subordinates in such fashions without asking permission first, Lady Scarlet."

Remilia curtseyed slightly in a formal manner before responding coldly in much the same fashion, "And you would do well to not to keep such horrid officers in your war council."

The duo of women glared at one another, before bursting into laughter, much to the confusion of the room's occupants save Vector and Sakuya, as they were accustomed to such behavior from their mistress.

As the duo settled back into more relaxed positions, Remilia commented with a light chuckle, "I see that you still have much the same form of humor as your ancestors. James, George, even William and Edward have learned well from each other."

Smiling in return, the Queen sent back, "And I can see that my ancestors accounts of you were quite accurate, always eloquent and such a smart lady as well, even as ruthless as you were."

As the painting of King James the First's wedding was brought in by several guards, Remilia commented while observing the picture, "Goodness, I remember that sweet thing being married! I looked gorgeous in this picture, don't you think?"

Sakuya replied even as Vector also did, "Indeed, Ojou-Sama."

As Sakuya manipulates the painting's size with her Space Time abilities, Queen Elizabeth comments, "With the Patriarch eliminated in such a fashion, we may now regain control of Great Britain, and cease this struggle against an opponent far too powerful for us humans. Ah, and do please take that Teapot. It was yours long ago, after all."

As Sakuya also stores the Tea Set, the trio begin to leave as Remilia curtseys saying, "Our thanks for granting us an audience."

"Oh please, the pleasure was mine. If you have time, do please visit us again. I'll send out a few of my guards to ensure that you three pass through unharmed."

As Remilia leaves first, Sakuya and Vector bow formally before they too leave the throne room.

As they leave, one of the council members asks, "Are you quite sure of this decision, Your Majesty? It may have significant backlash..."

Nodding with conviction, she says, "I am absolutely sure of this decision. We cannot in good conscience continue warring with one of Great Britain's most influential historical figures."

As the meeting was adjourned, the Queen retired to her chambers for her rest her mind still in turmoil at the recent events...

As the trio were led outside, and they passed through the checkpoints without difficulty, they entered the outskirts of the city, where a UH-6 Little Bird, commandeered from some human forces in Asia rested, ready for takeoff at a moment's notice, as the three were thoroughly exhausted.

As the pilots lounged around outside, being a pair of Tengu, they readied the bird immediately upon sight of their passengers approaching, spinning up rotors and checking their readings before lifting off and flying off to Paris, their next destination.

As Vector kept watch outside, observing for hostiles, Sakuya asked Remilia a question, "Ojou-Sama? Are you tired?"

As Remilia yawned cutely, she murmured as she lay her head upon Sakuya's lap, "Sleepy..."

As Sakuya sighed in exasperation, she smiled a bit at the sight of her mistress resting soundly upon her lap, even as Vector said, "So, how many kills did you get?"

With a smirk, she replied, "42. And you?"

With a small laugh, he said, "42 as well. I suppose we tied."

As the duo shared a laugh, the moon shone above as they went onto their second objective, Paris, France.

Only a few hours later, as the sun was about to rise, the sounds of gunfire and magic reached the ears of the trio, as Remilia awoke from her nap, murmuring while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, "What's happening..?"

As the bird dropped out of their cloud cover, a wondrous sight filled their eyes.

Thousands of human vehicles and aircraft as well as an entire French Army could be seen scattered all over the city, warring with Youkai forces all over Paris. Tengu pilots and self flying Tengu fought in the skies with human aircraft, as Youkai on the ground battled human forces positioned there, both engaged in the exchanging of war pleasantries of brass bullets and plasma ammunition, as well as shells and magic.

Casualties rose into the hundreds as the two sides continued to battle one another, the humans taking a significantly larger number, over 12 times even. For every squad of humans, a single Youkai was killed, without counting the numerous Youkai Officers even whom murdered dozens of humans themselves.

Brilliant shows of artillery and Spell Cards could be seen all over as the lights sparkled their colors of death as they brought down entire building upon hapless human and Youkai forces alike.

One such particular sight caught Remilia's eye as she witnessed Major Tenshi and Captain Iku back to back, the former holding the Sword of Hisou and the latter holding a lightning enhancing staff, as the duo released massive waves of Keystones and lightning upon a human tank battalion, utterly crushing, vaporizing, and destroying it and allowing a Youkai breakthrough of the city section, even as the duo of celestial combatants flew off to assist other sectors of Youkai forces.

A priority radio broadcast made it through the confusing jumble of differing channels, reporting, "All forces, Templar command forces have been spotted at the Eiffel Tower! We require immediate assistance!"

Remilia took hold of the radio, ordering, "All forces, this is General Scarlet. We are en route to the Templar command post. Hold tight."

A massive battle cry of monstrous proportions arose as the Youkai warring in Paris heard of the Scarlet Devil's appearance, their spirits rejuvenated and will solidified as they threw themselves against the human forces with renewed vigor.

"It's General Scarlet!"

"Yeah!"

"Murder them all!"

"With the Scarlet Devil, we can defeat them!"

"Why, I never knew I was so popular~" Remilia said playfully, as the trio prepared to fly, readying their weapons to enter the fray.

Tenshi and Iku also came onto the radio, as the latter commented, "It is good that you have come. We are en route to the Templar Command post. We could use some assistance."

Tenshi also commented formally, "We'll follow your lead, General Scarlet. Give us the word to assault their positions when you so desire."

As the Little Bird paused over the Eiffel Tower's Airspace, Sakuya left the Painting and tea Set to be sent back to Australia, for Patchouli to take care of.

The trio jumped out of the plane, as they flew towards the chaos that was the Paris war.

The trio grinned in anticipation to let loose as Vector readied his energy familiars to their most lethal states, Sakuya drew her enchanted blade and knives, while Remilia revealed the full might of her power, a magic circle ensuring the three as their power joined together.

As Tenshi and Iku joined them and added their own power to the massive display of power, Tenshi called out, "A fine day for a war, don't you think General?"

Remilia answered back playfully, "Yes indeed Major!"

As they descended upon the Templar Command post, Remilia said with glee,

"General Scarlet has arrived to annihilate these templars!"

The Sunrise could just be seen, as the sun dawned upon another massive battle cry arose from the city as the Paris was continued...
