{ Chapter 38: Show of Force Pt. 2 }

The Official Residence of Crown Prince Zorzal

09:45 hrs. February 23rd, 20XX

If there was ever a time to disobey orders and take the shot, now would have been the time. Or at least that was what the Filipino Scout Ranger thought to himsrlf, as he looked through the scope of his Barrett M82 Sniper Rifle and watch as the Crown Prince rutted another one of his many sex slaves.

Just a few weeks ago, elements of the Third Scout Ranger Company had been deployed to the Imperial Capitol as part of Black Paint. Along with other Special Operators, the Scout were tasked with conducting recon missions within the city of Sadera and locate possible persons/targets of interest. Just in case the Coalition leadership decided that they were done playing nice with the Empire. It was just by chance that the Scout Rangers were assigned to monitor the residence of Crown Prince Zorzal and they had been doing so for the last week or so. It was during this time, the Filipino Rangers realized one disturbing fact about the Imperial Prince...

The Man was a BLOODY Sexual Predator!

Almost every day, the Scout Rangers were "treated" to the sight of Prince Zorzal forcing himself onto one of the many slaves that were regularly brought to his room. Some of whom could not have been no more than 17 years old. The things that poor excuse of a human being did to those girls, made the Rangers' blood boil and no more so than their resident Sniper on their team. See the prince engaged in his sinful escapades brought back a lot of bad memories for the Sargent, as he had witnessed similar acts when he first Joined the army and was deployed during the Marawi Crisis.

Oh how he wanted to pull that trigger, and put that piece of shit down once and for all. There were special places in hell that were reserved for people like the Crown Prince. A place usually reserved for pedophiles, rapists... and the people who designed the Honda Ridgeline. He needed a reason... any reason to pull that trigger. But alas the Prince's current toy would have to endure the humiliation she was being subjected too, as the Scout Rangers had strict orders no to engage any of their targets unless instructed too. Sometimes... he really hated being in the army.

Eventually, the Prince "Finished" with a laugh like he always did, as if he had won some kind of victory or game. Before one of his advisers came to speak with him, all the while being observed by the biggest threat the Empire had ever faced in its history.

"Panginoong Hesukristo..." the Ranger muttered to himself, as he saw the bunny woman lay on the bed. Just has the Crown Prince exited his quarters. how was she even still alive after all she had been through? Was she even sane still?

"Heads up" a voice suddenly announced over the radio. "The Crown Prince is on the move."

Sure enough, within a few minutes the Prince Zorzal had left his palace on horse back and in the company of his personal guards. The Scout followed the Prince with his rifle, as the group rode past the two massive statues the prince has of himself outside his palace and into the green county side.

With the Royal now out of sight, the sniper then swung his attention back to the Prince's bedroom. Just in time to see the slave Zorzal had being helped out of the room by some of the servant. For a brief moment, the Ranger could have sworn that the Bunny Woman had not only looked in his direction, but that locked eyes with him as well. It was as if she knew he and his team were there, but he face gave no expression. She did not look mad or sad, just... numb. It was a moment that would stick with the Pinoy soldier for as long as he lived, a fact he was well aware of as the woman vanished behind the door...

( Undisclosed Location...)

10:00 hrs.

"Greetings, gentlemen. Glad to see that you all took up my offer to meet here today." Ambassador Todo said with a smile, as he saw the group of Imperial Senators exit the small convoy of Japanese Humvees that had been sent to transport them. Today was quite possibly going to be a very interesting one, as the Japanese Diplomat was about to take some rather unorthodox measures to find a peaceful end to this war.

Since his arrival in the Special Region, Todo began to gather as much information as he could about the Saderan Empire and its people. He wanted to know as much as he could, so he could work out the best course of action when it came time to deal with the Empire's ruling families and the Senate itself. The "Care Package" he created went over well with many of the officials he met at the Jade Palace, it most certainly caught the attention of the Noble elite. But of course, that was only to "Get his foot in the Door" as it were. The Care Package had certainly shown that the dreaded other worlders were not the "Savages" the nobles had been lead to believe. But now was the time to show the Noble Houses that the Empire was now in a war they had absolutely no hope of winning. if it was one thing Todo had learned about the Imperial, they reacted to shows of force.

The Senators and Nobles for there part, were still trying to process the fact that they were now in the company of the very same enemy they had all been fearing for almost a year. An enemy that had bested the Empire the moment the Imperial Army had marched through the Gate and if the rumors were true, had been befriended by Rory the Reaper herself. Certainly, any one who had won favor with the Apostle, had most certainly won favor with Emroy himself. By all logic these other worlders, this... Coalition, should have just rampaged through the county side before laying waste to Sadera itself. But no... they wanted to talk, they wanted peace as well. But why would an emissary would want to meet with them to discuss peace?

"I hope that your trip in our horseless carriages was a good one." the Diplomat said with a smile, as his guests unsteadily walked up to him.

"It was a rather... interesting experience." One of the senators replied, all be it still a bit shaken by the idea had just ridden in a horseless carriage. "But tell us, Lord Todo. Why have you asked for us to meet by the river bank?"

"That is because I have arranged a little demonstration for you." the ambassador replied, as he gestured over his shoulder. When they looked, the Senators saw what at first looked like an Imperial Legion standing in the near by clearing. But upon closer look, the men saw that they were nothing more that wooden dummies that had been dressed to look like Imperial Soldiers.

"What is the meaning of this?" another senator asked curiously.

"I thought it would be best to show you just what your Imperial Army would face if you choose to per long this war." Todo explained. "I know for a fact that some of you still believe that you could still win this war on you your own terms. Today, you are going to see that you are in no position to dictate anything to us. If this war continues, then it would only bring more unneeded suffering to your people."

With that statement, a new individual suddenly appeared from one of the tents that had been set up with the fake army. His attire as far different from what they had seen the other worlders wear up to that point. He was much older than Lord Todo and had on a khaki long sleeved shirt with green trousers that was held up with a white belt around his waist. The left side of his chest was covered with colorful decorations while the man himself walked with a confidence that came with being a officer of the United States Marine Corp.

"Gentlemen, this is Col. Leroy Gibbs J. of the United States Marine Corp" Todo introduced the man to the group. "He commands the American Contingent that makes up the Coalition Forces on Alnus Hill. He volunteered to assist me with this demonstration today and he had brought some of his men to help us along."

"So were is the rest of his men?" the first senator from before asked, he he did not see any more other worlders. Apart from who were already present. But he soon got his answer as suddenly, a dozen men seemingly appeared out of the surrounding foliage and surrounded the now shocked delegation. These men were completely green and were covered in suits made of leaves and and brush. But what really caught the Nobles off guard, was the fact that they had just walked by some of these men and did not even notice they were there!

"This is only a sample of what is to come." Todo stated casually, as Gibbs just stood their and smiled at the Imperials' reactions. "So, shall we begin...?"

~Howa Type-64, Japanese Ground Self Defense Force~

The senators/nobles in attendance were treated to Fresh Orange Juice, as elements of the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force began to show off their standard equipment. First of which being the standard assault rifle used by the JGSDF in the Special Region, the Howa Type-64. Truth be told, the Type-64 was not exactly what one would call a "modern" design, as the rifle had been in service with the Japanese military since 1964.

In reality, it was in the process of being replaced by the Howa Type-20 when the Battle of Ginza occurred. There were a few "Special Units" that had been deployed with the Type-20, but most Japanese solders were equipped with the older Type-64 as the Japanese did not want to risk losing large numbers of their most advance assault rifle. Should they be forced to retreat back through the Gate.

But of course, the Imperial delegation didn't really care if the Type-64 was an old design or not. As they watch in horror as a pair of Japanese soldiers effortlessly cut down several targets that had been dressed up as Saderan Soldiers. These other worlders were able to strike down an enemy from a distance and with ease. Something not even the best archers in the Imperial army could boast of!

~M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle, United States Marine Corp~

Unlike their Japanese allies, the United States Marine Corp was not shy about giving their units the best Uncle Sam had to offer. Despite being of German origin, the M27 IFR had most certainly earned it a special place in the hearts of many a marine due to its light weight and high rate of fire. Something the Marines that were there were keen to show off, as they decimated four pig carcasses that had been set up.

The Saderans could only look on in horror as the dead creatures, who were dressed up in ornate Legate armor, were quite literally ripped to shreds. Their horrified expression not going un-noticed by Col. Gibbs, who had a small smile on his face.

~KPV Heavy Machine Gun, Bhāratīya Thal Sēnā (Indian Army)~

Although they currently had no units taking part in Black Paint, the Indians most certainly did not want to be left out. As a result, a heavy machine gun team from the 9th Battalion, Madras Regiment had been flown in the night before for today's demonstration.

Though an old design, the Soviet designed Krupnokaliberniy Pulemyot Vladimirovahad had served with the Indian armed forces for many years. So much so that this particular weapon had actually built under licence in India by Ordnance Factory Tiruchirappalli and although only used in limited numbers, the Indian military wanted to make sure that their units had the fire power to drop larger hostiles.

Right now though, the Indian gun crew was currently making short work of three wooden wagons that had been brought out by one of the Japanese Humvees. As well as it's wooden occupants that were to represent Imperial Soldiers.

Needless to say, the Imperial delegation was absolutely shocked and horrified by this display of Other Worlder power. Sure their targets were nothing more than wooden dummies and animal carcasses, but it was very clear to see that the "Enemy on Alnus Hill" were quite powerful and possessed terrible weapons of war. It was now very clear to see that the mad ramblings from the survivors of the failed expedition were 100% true. But the worst was still yet to come.

"Alright, gentlemen." Gibbs stated as he faced the Imperial Nobles. "What you have seen here is only a sample of what our people are really capable of. As you can see, our weapons are far more powerful than anything your empire can hope to field against us and continuing this war would be a grave mistake on your part. But just in case you still believe that this war can turn in your favor, I and a few of my counterparts have arranged one last demonstration for you"

And with that, the Marine Corp officer reached for his radio and said something into it. For a few minutes, there was an almost eerie silence and the nobles were confused as to what would happen next. But suddenly, the air was filled with a low rumbling sound that seemed to get louder and louder with every passing second. An almost ungodly sound that made the once proud nobles uneasy...

"LOOK! IN THE RIVER!" one of them yelled out in shock, as several large objects suddenly apperared and made their war towards the shoreline. Just as three small flying objects appeared over a near by hill and joined approaching amphibious vehicles. Within moments, the combined force of Indonesian PT-76 Amphibious Light Tanks, USMC Amphibious Combat Vehicles and Filipino Marine Corp AAVs rolled up the embankment with ease and towards the delegation. As two MH-6 "Little Bird" light attack helicopters and one MH-47G "Chinook" of the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment hovered ominously over them.

It was in that exact moment did the reality of this war finally hit home for the Nobles/Senators. For a long time they had believed that the defeat of the Imperial Army beyond the Gate was the fault of the commander of that force. They believed that the destruction of the Alnus Garrisons was the fault of Imperial foot soldiers who had no will to fight. But as this combine Other Worlder Force came to a stop before them, the Nobles soon came to a sickening realization. The Imperial Army had lost because they were just no match for these other worlders or their weapons. Thousands upon thousands of Imperial soldiers had been needlessly slaughtered all because the Empire had angered an enemy they had no chances of defeating.

Soon, images began to flood the minds of these men. Horrible images of the Imperial Capitol burning and its people screaming in pain, as the other worlders finally began their assault on the city. Of other worlders soldiers marching unchallenged through the streets as the Imperial Palace burned in the distance. And the worst part was, there was no one to save their home, as the streets were littered with the bodies of dead legions. This was why Pina was secretly working with the Other Worlders, she was afraid... and rightfully so.

Col. Gibbs had a predatory smile as he and Todo walked up to the now frightened group. "As my friend here stated, continuing this war would be a very bad idea on your part. But we are willing to talk peace and that all of our demands are met."

"A... and just what are your demands...?" one of the nobles asked frightfully. Gibbs just continued to smile as he replied...

"You might want to take a seat for this..."

Jade Palace, Sadera.

"Oh come on, Shino-chan." Mari teased her friend. "What's going on between you and Williams? Spill!"

Shino for her part, just sat there and began to blush a deep shade or red. Something that would not have normally happened to the young woman, but in recent months Third Recon's resident Medic had noticed a change in the CQC expert. She did not seem to be as aggressive as before, when she came back from the United Nations. In fact, she seemed a bit happier than usual. She was always smiling and there was a noticeable spring in her step when she walked. There were also more than a few times Mari caught her friend happily humming to her self. It did not take long for the medic to realize that this sudden change in Shino's personality had something to do with a certain American, who Shino had been spending a lot of time with in recent months.

"There... There's nothing going on." the Sargent denied. Normally the curvy woman would have been able to hold the perfect poker face when answering questions about her personal life. But that was before she met a certain Marine who she had fallen hard for, a fact that was not lost to Third Recon's medic.

"Come on, Shino-chan." Mari teased. "Tell me the juice!"

"There... there is no juice." Shino replied. Her cheeks clearly showing a reddish color to them. "We're just good friends."

"That kiss on the cheek you gave him when we left the Fort says otherwise." the Medic said with a smile that mimicked Rory's. As she could clearly remember seeing the Sargent give the Marine a kiss on his cheek before she ran off to board the helicopter. And it was not the quick "We are just good Friend" kind of kiss either.

"Please don't tell anyone." The CQC expert replied, an embarrassed expression showing on her face.

"Ah! So you are a couple!" Mari said with a smile, as her friend slowly sank in her seat and turned redder.

"Well... not yet, anyway." Shino replied. "We don't want to make it official until after we leave the military."

"Wait... 'We'?" A now very confused Medic asked. "You're leaving the military too?"

"I... I don't know... maybe?" the shorter woman replied. "It's just that... Lewis makes me feel happy. He... gets me and... I don't want to lose that feeling... I don't want to be alone anymore and he is the first person to ever try to get to know me."

To say Mari was shocked by her friend's words, would have been correct. In all the years the taller woman had known Kuribayashi, Mari had never heard her friend sound like this. This was a woman you willingly drowned herself in the military lifestyle... hell, she thrived in it! Was always the first one to wake up before anyone else in their barracks just to get extra time for PT. Shino was quite possibly thee most dedicated soldier she had ever met and it looked as if the short/aggressive woman would spend the rest of her life in the military. But now here she was talking about leaving said lifestyle to hopefully build a life with someone who she had strong feelings for. Feelings that were obviously being returned, as Mari had also noticed that Williams had been hugging the Sargent before she kissed him. The Devil must have been wearing 3 thick coats by now, but was still freezing.

"You really love him, don't you?" Mari asked her friend, to which she nodded in reply.

The medic then hugged her long time friend tightly and said happily, "I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!"

"For what?" the Sargent asked curiously

"For finding happiness!" the medic replied. "I think this is the first time I have ever seen you so happy. Well... happy and not beating someone up, anyway."

"Just... don't tell anyone, please." the CQC expert asked her friend. "Williams will be leaving the Marines at the end of the year and I plan to join him in America when I resign next year. I don't know what I will do when I move, but I plan to make it work."

"Well... I wish you all the best, Shino." Mari replied. "Though... I would still have to tell Lei Lei, Tuka and Rory."

"What? Why?

"Because we all had a bet as to how long it would take for you two to finally hook up." Mari explained with a smile. Much to the surprise of Shino.

"I won."

Fort Ginza Command Building, Alnus Hill...

15:15 hrs.

"General, we have a situation developing in Alnustown." a Japanese soldier announced, as he entered Hazama's office.

Hazama himself, was going over the reports he had received in regards to the recent aerial reconnaissance missions that had been conducted by the coalition, when the soldier came to him.

"What's going on?" the General asked in concern.

"Sir, the Demi-humans in the town have begun to act strangely." the Japanese soldier explained. "They are all claiming something bad it coming."

"What?" Hazama asked, a confused expression now forming on his face. But before he could get a response, another soldier rushed in and said. "I'm sorry to interupt sir, but we have just received a message from Bletchly Park. They are saying that some of the residents in Akusho have begun to act stragely, claiming something is coming. The commander believes that an Earthquake is coming."

"Earthquake?" Hazama asked. "Is he sure?"

"Sir, he said the demi-humans are acting the same was as animals he saw when he lived in Sendai." the soldier replied. "Before the earthquake."

A grim expression soon flashed across the general's face, as he (as well as every other Japanese soldier) could remember what was quite possibly one of the worst natural disasters to strike Japan in recent history. Just like every other Earthquake in the past, there had been reports of animals acting strangely prior to the event. Now it looked as if the Demi-humans of this world had that same ability as well.

"Contact every out port and inform them that an possible Earthquake may be imminent!" Hazama ordered. "Contact Col. Mahmood and tell him to prepare his men for possible major event!"

"Yes sir!" the two soldies replied, before running off to carry out their orders. Leaving Hazama alone to prepare for the worst. All the while, images taken by both drones and aircraft covered his desk.

For now at least, any plans for a rescue mission were going to be placed on hold...

[ [ [ [ ] ] ] ] [ [ [ [ ] ] ] ] [ [ [ [ ] ] ] ] [ [ [ [ ] ] ] ]

A/N: Well... the Earthquake cometh and we all know what happens after that! But don't worry, I have not forgotten Yao or even Diablo's story lines. They will make an return when the time is right. As always, please leave a review or else John Wick will come after you after I tell him you kidnapped his dog.

Until next time... NIGHTSTALKER OUT!
