Toulon, December 1918.
France and Britain lay destroyed.
James, Louie and Oshida were part of the last counter insurgents fighting in France.
The French government, Dupont and Andou escaped to Algeria where she could recover in warm weather.
The St Gloriana Girls were heading to Canada with the exception of Rosehip, with Fred already in New York.
The British government left for Canada after uprisings.
They sat down, sharing cheap wine.
BOOM.
A building collapsed.
"MOVE MOVE MOVE!", James called.
They rushed to the defenses along a few defenders. Vastly outnumbered and under supplied, they were evacuating soon.
The artillery hit several trucks, supplies and evacuating civilians, men fell out of trucks, screaming.
Civilians scattered as buildings caught fire. An entire ship exploded and began to capsize.
The first wave hit, ranks of poorly armed revolutionaries rushed out, inexperienced and under equipped.
RATATATATATATATATATAT
The machine gun let out a steady stream of fire as James fed ammunition into it as Oshida fired.
The attacker outnumbered them but fired sparingly, with their comrades looting their dead due to lack of weapons and ammo.
The first wave was crushed, the attackers weren't even able to reach them.
Horses ran throughout the area, some on fire, emitting screams worse than human ones.
James shot them, putting them out of misery.
Mediterranean Sea, December, 1918.
Andou was making a slow but steady recovery, she missed Oshida terribly, but they were defending Toulon, allowing refugees to flee. She took some comfort thinking about it.
She looked around, the damages of war were everywhere, amputees, Gas victims, disfigurement, and blindness.
The only person she knew in the medical ward was Rosehip, although she didn't know her well, her cheery demeanor faded, replaced with often blank states.
Andou found this rather alarming and tried to comfort her with stories and tea, she even wheeled her out to the deck to see the ocean as Andou recovered.
Andou closed her eyes, preparing to sleep, when she heard the sound of shattering glass.
To her horror, she found Rosehip with a large, sharp piece of broken China attempting the slit her own throat.
"STOP IT! STOP IT!," Andou cried, struggling to wrestle the broken China away, "DOCTOR! DOCTOR!, SHE'S TRYING TO KILL HERSELF!", she cried as Dupont rushed in, pulling Rosehip's arm away as Andou pulled the China back.
"Look at me!", she said, forcing Rosehip to look her in the eye.
"You've survived all of this, and you wanna die in a hospital?", Andou cried.
"You have a life! What about Darjeeling?, what about everyone?".
Rosehip broke in tears, "When the doctors operated on me, the anesthesia didn't work." She now hugged Andou crying.
Andou realized what happened. Poor Rosehip felt every incision and cut, yet was unable to move or speak.
"I couldn't sleep, I keep feeling trapped and helpless".
Andou turned on a light and requested a radio, and comforted Rosehip asleep.
The defenders were running dry on ammo, but they completed their mission at defending the evacuation.
"Well, I don't like burning a city down, but we don't have any choice." James remarked.
The last counter insurgents boarded a destroyer under the cover of darkness as incendiary shells lit gasoline that was sprayed over the city, effectively denying access to it.
Berlin, Germany, 1918.
With Germany's victory in the Weltkrieg, Germany became a world power, along with the formation of Mitteleuropa, an economic bloc of German puppets and allies.
"Well, we are working on a method to send one to the future, but the past is more set in stone, and so allows us to send someone back." Adelmann explained.
Maho was dismayed, Adelmann's time machine only worked one way.
"But, I can arrange a comfortable life for you and your friends." Adelmann offered.
"Fine." She sighed.
Out of the deal, she and Alice got a scholarship to finish her education with tweaked paper work and a sweet pickelhaube.
Shark team got a spot in the Kriegsmarine.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Darjeeling and Pekoe stepped onto the shores of Canada for the first time.
Canada was cold and chilly, compared to Japan, James secured a house for them to live in British Columbia, across the coast.
Darjeeling was relieved, British Columbia was warmer, it's climate similar to Japan, she did not need to catch another sickness.
The girls waved in return. They used their money to buy train tickets, food, clothing, this was going to be a long train ride.
Halifax was still rebuilding after the disastrous explosion in 1917,hundreds were still homeless, it was no place to stay.
They studied their map and headed for the train station.
"Two tickets to British Columbia please", Darjeeling ordered.
"ALL ABOARD!", the conductor yelled as the two rushed aboard, with a whistle and blast of steam, the train left the station.
