A/N: Hello to all, I am back with the next chapter of this story. In this chapter, the assault on the 501st base continues.

Disclaimer: I don't own Strike Witches or Evangelion

At the residence of the Prime Minister of Fuso, three men were seated and drinking tea while getting constant updates on the situation. Prime Minister Koiso, Marshal Goring and Marshal Maloney were seated around an oak table and were patting themselves on the back for their "ingenious" plan.

"I must admit, this is working better than I could have imagined." said Marshal Goring.

"Indeed. The witches have proven they are untrustworthy." agreed Prime Minister Koiso.

"What exactly will we tell the general public?" asked Marshal Goring.

"The witches of the 501st were planning a coup against the government and this was a preemptive strike." answered Prime Minister Koiso.

The Prime Minster took a sip of his tea and pondered.

"Once this is over, what will our next course of action be?" asked Prime Minister Koiso.

"Fuso should purge its army of all witches." answered Marshal Maloney.

"That would be the most appropriate action." agreed Prime Minister Koiso.

"I will led the charge to do the same in Britannia while Marshal Goring will pursue the same goal in Karlsland." said Marshal Maloney.

"What will we do about the Neuroi?" asked Prime Minister Koiso.

"Marshal Maloney has come up with the perfect solution." answered Marshal Goring.

"They are autonomous mechanical weapons called Warlocks. They are more efficient and will take care of the Neuroi with ease." explained Marshal Maloney.

"That sounds grand. I look forward to seeing them in action." said Prime Minister Koiso.

Suddenly, a knock came on the door and a young girl entered. Haruka Sakomizu

"Sir, I have an update." said the girl.

"Go on." said Prime Minister Koiso.

"It seems the army is facing harder resistance than expected." said Haruka.

"I think no would be a grand time to show off the Warlock." proposed Marshal Maloney.

Prime Minister Koiso rubbed his chin and thought.

"Go ahead." said Prime Minister Koiso.

"Excellent. You will not regret this." replied Marshal Maloney smirking.

The order was given and the Warlocks, which was "conveniently" on a ship docked outside off the coast of Fuso, were launched. At the base of the 501st, the Fusoan Imperial Army had been bogged down and were struggling to make more gains. Suddenly, there was a blinding flash in the sky as a trio of strange objects appeared and began descending toward the base.

"What the hell is that?" asked Shirley.

"Ursula heard rumors about a Project Warlock being undertaken." answered Erica.

"It seems like those rumors were accurate." mused Barkhorn.

Ferrara came over to join them at this moment.

"Times have surely changed." noted Ferrara.

"They're so big." awed Lucchini.

"Shot them down!" ordered Minna.

Several tanks stationed on the base took aim and opened fire at the Warlock. Unfortunately it was so maneuverable they might as well have been shooting at the wind.

"They're fast!" cried Shirley.

The Warlock aimed and fired. Their beams rained downed and laid waste to the tanks.

"They're powerful too." said Barkhorn.

Lucchini looked at the burning ruins before her.

"Shirley, are they okay?" asked Lucchini.

Shirley took a moment to think about what to say. She decided she needed to be honest at the moment.

"No Francesca." answered Shirley.

The Neuroi aimed and began firing at the base.

"They really aren't holding back." noted Minna.

"Another hit like that and we'll be done for!" noted Barkhorn.

Minna thought for a moment then turned to Ferrara.

"Release Hanna." ordered Minna.

"You can't!" cried Barkhorn.

"Right now we need her. Think of this as her atonement." explained Minna.

"Understood." said Barkhorn.

Anna left and made her way through the hallways which were choked with running soldiers. Eventually, she made her way to Anna made her way to Hanna's holding cell. The Karlsland with was lying on her back and staring at the ceiling. Anna grabbed her keys and walked over to the cell door. Hanna sat up as Anna unlocked the door.

"What the hell is going on up there?" asked Anna.

"The Fusoan Army is attacking us. Without the Neuroi, it seems the have no need for us anymore." answered Anna.

"Ungrateful pricks!" spat Hanna.

"Minna has ordered you to help." added Anna.

Hanna scoffed at this.

"Why the hell should I help you?" asked Hanna.

"It's an order." answered Ferrara.

"After being jammed in this damp cell, I don't feel like I own her crap!" snapped Hanna.

"They're kill you as well." noted Anna.

"I can defend myself." stated Hanna.

"Not if I don't let you out." replied Anna.

"You unlocked the door. I can get out." said Hanna.

The elderly witch smirked at Hanna's confidence.

"Do you think you can overpower me?" asked Anna.

"Of course." answered Hanna.

"Just because I'm old, doesn't mean I can't put you in your place." said Anna.

Hanna jumped up and shoved the cell door open. She attempted to push Anna out of way, but the elder witch grabbed Anna and flung her to the ground.

"I warned you." said Anna.

"You old hag!" snapped Hanna.

"You sound just like Mio." laughed Anna.

Anna stopped as Hanna turned her head.

"Look Lieutenant Marseilles, we need you to do this." said Anna.

"Bite me." said Hanna spitefully.

"Don't do this for me or Minna. Do this for your friends Do this for all the innocent people here." said Anna.

Hanna ignored the elderly witch.

"Think about Erica." said Anna.

This got to Hanna who sat up.

"Fine." said Hanna.

The two witches departed the cell and headed to the garage. As they made their way through the hallways, Anna filled Hanna in on all the details as the two tried not to step on the growing pile of corpses. They reached the hanger and Hanna raced to her Striker unit, kicked off her shoes, jumped into her Striker and grabbed her gun.

"Taking off!" called Hanna.

Hanna launched and took off shooting into the skies. Hanna took off and reached the Warlock in under thirty seconds.

"Hey bitches." said Hanna.

The Neuroi turned and gave Hanna all there attention.

"Give me your best shot!" spat Hanna.

The Warlock opened fire at Hanna who easily dodged.

"You aim like pussies!" cried Hanna.

The Warlock aimed and fired again only for Hanna to again easily dodge the attack.

"Come on guys. You aren't even trying." scoffed Hanna.

Hanna took off and performed a zig-zag maneuver in the sky.

"Catch me if you can!" called Hanna.

The Warlock followed Hanna who stayed ahead of the Warlock.

"It's like our aren't even trying.

Hanna turned and stopped in midair.

"I'll give you a shot." offered Hanna.

The Warlock fired, but Hanna easily swerved out of the way.

"She's still being reckless." spat Barkhorn.

"Look again." said Hartmann.

The Warlock had fired and their beams missed Hanna. They instead hit and destroyed the Fusoan Imperial Army artillery batteries.

"I don't believe it." said General Homma angrily.

"We cannot underestimate them." stated Wakamoto.

"Do not patronize me." replied General Homma.

Inside the base, the assault continued as the invading Fusoan Imperial Army soldiers were slowed down. Meanwhile, Eila was making her way through the base. The Soumous witch was racing to her bedroom and praying she would find. Reaching the room, Eila sighed at finding the door undamaged. She threw the door open and went inside finding Sanya walking toward the door. The Orussian witch was clad in only her bra and panties.

"Eila, what's going on?" asked Sanya.

"We're under attack. You need to get dressed." answered Eila.

Eila lead Sanya over to chair and sat her down. Eila grabbed the Orussian witch's clothes and began helping her dress.

"The Fusoan Imperial Army is attacking the base." began Eila.

Eila helped Sanya to put her tights on.

"Why?" asked Sanya.

Sanya briefly stood up to pull up her tights.

"The Neuroi are gone and they have no need for us." answered Eila.

Eila helped Sanya to put on the rest of her clothes on.

"We need to hurry. We're sitting ducks here." said Eila.

Eila hand Sanya her tie.

"I can't believe this." said Sanya.

Sanya sadly put on her tie.

"I'm sorry Sanya. I never thought this would happen." replied Eila.

"We signed up to battle Neuroi." noted Sanya.

"But, we never thought we'd have to do this." sighed Eila.

Suddenly, a massive explosion shook the building.

"Sanya!" exclaimed Eila.

Eila threw herself on Sanya. The ceiling shook and plaster fell on Eila. One it ended, Eila got up.

"Are you okay?" asked Eila.

"Yeah." answered Sanya.

Eila stood up and stretched.

"What about you?" asked Sanya.

"I'm fine." answered Eila.

Eila grabbed Sanya's shoes and helped her put them on.

"We need to hurry." said Eila.

Meanwhile,Yoshika Miyafuji had made her way through the base. Yoshika had covered her ears and closed her eyes in an attempt to escape her current surroundings. However, the witch had unknowingly made her way to an area that the Fusoan Imperial Army had secured. Yoshika tripped over a bit of debris and fell to the ground.

"What was that?" asked a voice.

Three Fusoan Imperial Army soldiers came over and found Yoshika. Two were Sergeants carrying Type 99 rifles while their commander was a First Lieutenant.

"Looks like we found one." smirked the Lieutenant.

"What will we do sir?" asked the first Sergeant.

"Our orders are to exterminate the traitors." answered the Lieutenant.

"Understood." replied the two Sergeant.

The Sergeants aimed their guns at Yoshika who stared in horror.

"Fi-" began the Lieutenant.

The Lieutenant was interrupted by a burst of gun fire. Blood splattered as a Sergeant collapsed. Everyone looked over to see Junko Takei holding her smoking Type 99 rifle. Both Junko and Nishizawa were aiming Type 99 rifles at the Fusoan Imperial Army soldiers.

"Let her go." ordered Sakamoto.

"Kill her!" ordered the Lieutenant.

The other Sergeant swung around, but Nishizawa fired her Type 99 rifle killing him before he could aim.

"You traitors!" exclaimed the Lieutenant.

The Lieutenant grabbed his Type 94 Nambu pistol and drew it, only for the gun to misfire and shot him in the foot. Sakamoto drew her kanata and killed the Lieutenant with one swing.

"The 'suicide special' strikes again." stated Junko.

Sakamoto used the Lieutenant's shirt to clean off his blood then sheathed her katana. She knelt down to next to Yoshika.

"Are you okay?" asked Sakamoto.

"Yes." answered Yoshika. "Great. Now we have to go." said Sakamoto.

"I will not fight." stated Yoshika.

Yoshika stood on her feet to face Sakamoto.

"You must." replied Sakamoto.

"I will not hurt people." said Yoshika.

"This is the army. That is a part of the job." said Sakamoto.

Yoshika's eyes wandered over to the three corpses before the site made her advert her eyes.

"I will not hurt people!" declared Yoshika.

"You want to protect people right?" asked Sakamoto.

"Of course." answered Yoshika.

"The army is killing innocent people and the others will follow." replied Sakamoto.

Yoshika froze for a moment.

"I will defend as many people as I can." said Yoshika.

"Go girl. Let's go." said Sakamoto.
