Silbern Base
***Friday***
As soon as the motorcade arrived at the base, Sabrina looked around frantically, it was the first time she had ever been to a military base, and she saw a lot of things she didn't even know existed, primarily because they were mostly locked away in the base itself rather then to be out on the streets for obvious reasons.
Ausilia, Bambietta, Ichigo and Ernst had all accompanied Sabrina, Ichigo came at Sabrina's request, and since he was already finished with his morning meeting with the royal court, there wasn't really much to do except for a little bit of paperwork and some showcasing in the royal gallary, the paperwork was overlooking designs for the Wandenreich's prototype of the Vorhut Roboter, which is german for Vanguard Robot designed specifically to fight the hellspawn, for if manpower and beasts didn't work, you just had to make something that worked, simple as that, but since it's still under development and isn't even a prototype yet, those are a story for another time.
As for the showcasing, the research division had come up with designs for the new armor, and was currently on display in the gallery, though Ichigo had yet to see it, and Bambietta would also accompany Ichigo alongside the chancellors to see this new piece of armor made, they had even reported that they had sent in a new weapon that could be manifested with crosses more suited for their army in terms of ranged combat.
Regardless, SA-7300 stood on the runway and was ready for Sabrina, as soon as they exited the vehicles they heard that the APU was running and the four turbojet engines were ready for startup as soon as the doors were closed, all flight checks had been completed, all personnel was onboard, all that was missing was the person they were transporting, namely Sabrina.
Everyone was in the same car, Ichigo, Ausilia, Bambietta, Sabrina and Ernst were all in the same vehicle, Ichigo exited first, followed by Ernst, then came Bambietta and then Ausilia before the small figured named Sabrina exited with her teddy held towards her chest, to look in awe over the airfield, where bombers, transports and support aircraft were all located, including the one royal aircraft out on the runway, the rest of them were hidden in a bunker underneath the royal hangar, as there was still an elevator in the royal hangar that went into the bunker to lift out the massive aircrafts.
Usually the one prepared would be ready on the elevator and lifted up into the hangar if one was to be used, the same system used by the former Silbern Airbase before they moved the whole base to the city itself.
As Sabrina looked around she also noticed a bunch of banners and flags of the Quincy flag, so there was no shortage of symbols indicating who owned the base, if the city didn't give the massive hint.
Bambietta looked at Sabrina who was looking just about anywhere and everywhere out of her own curiosity, and was a bit astonished that she didn't show much indication of fear at all, if anything she was quite calm despite this being her first flight, and she would go on it, alone.
"You okay?" Bambietta asked as she touched Sabrina's shoulder, just inquiring to be sure, causing the rest of the group to look at Sabrina.
Sabrina looked at her sister and gave off a rather bright and confident smile, and nodded quite happily, which actually surprised them, as Sabrina was usually a girl that was easily terrified, but then again it might be the stress she experienced in Ansbach as those were some cruel times for her, anybody that age would be scared of everything after experiencing such things.
Her shyness was also a sign of how scared she was as she never really grew out of it, but instead the shyness intensified over time, after she got to Silbern, moved there and got treatment, she got mentally much more better, but her shyness still remained, but she had been exposed to a lot of people she's never met before so she might have gotten used to it, what with all the guards, soldiers, officers, servants, nobles and who knows what else?
Then there was kindergarden, she got to know a lot more kids her own age, aswell as during events in Silbern, she got to know the kids of aristocracy, causing the shyness phase to slowly but surely pass on, much to her sisters and parents joy as she wasn't as scared as she once was, but much more confident in herself.
"Alright, let's go in and ensure Sabrina is appropriately suited." Ichigo said as he began to move towards the airplane.
***SA-7300, now Air Royal Three Office***
As soon as Sabrina stepped onboard SA-7300 was now officially Air Royal Three, although the more correct phrase would be Air Royal One due to Ichigo's presence, but he wouldn't be on during take off so that name wouldn't actually be used.
Bambietta put Sabrina in the main office seat, which now was her seat behind the desk, Sabrina already knew how to operate the different gadets, but Bambietta just reminded her of the two main buttons which were the Call Guard and Call Servant buttons, just in case she needed help, Ernst and Ichigo went through the TV and ensured that programs Sabrina enjoyed had been uploaded to it, same with songs she liked, which it had, so she had some entertainment along the way.
"Alright, now remember, it is very important to behave, do not interact with strange people and-" Ausilia said as she was about to go through the whole list with Sabrina.
"Mommy... She has guards and servants with her, if anyone strange approaches, they will be either struck down or handed over to the police, awaiting transfer to the A.N.U faster then you can blink... So don't worry so much." Bambietta said with a deadpan and sweatdrop.
"But you can never be too careful! Did I not teach you that!?" Ausilia asked sternly.
"Must have been lost in translation." Bambietta replied with a smug face which quickly changed as Ausilia actually got angry.
"Well then allow me the courtesy to remind you! Have a seat young lady!" Ausilia said sternly as she pointed to the seat opposite of the desk.
Bambietta, without any hesitation, fearful of her mother's wrath, quickly complied, much to the amusement of Ichigo, though he did his best to hide it.
As Bambietta got a lecture and Sabrina got a reminder from their mother, Ichigo went through a document he had in his pocket, which was delivered by the Stelzner family upon hearing of Sabrina's attendance, which said who was coming and what their plans were all in all.
Upon thinking of the landing when Sabrina arrived, Ichigo got a reminder about a fact, the fact that all ground divisions is to be renamed, and the O.D.K was already using names, this was in order to make it easier to find out what type of division they were talking about as technological advances had begun to play a major role in the military, and you had four main categories on the ground forces, namely the:
Grenadier Division, which was a division compromised of only infantry and nothing else.
Panzer Grenadier Division, and panzer means armor, which was a mechanized unit of both infantry and armored vehicles.
Panzer Division, was an armored unit compromising of only vehicles without infantry.
The air units of the airforce, or Keiserliche Luftwaffe as it's actual name is, followed standard group naming however as they weren't constantly in the field and was moving around a lot and had a tendancy to change names depending on how many flights there was, and as for the Kriegsmarine, or the navy, as it's actual name is, both names being changed to english for better understanding for the reader resulting in the english names of airforce and navy instead, same with the whose name was in reality the Heer, or in full, the Keiserliche Heer, and despite their true name in english, the Royal Army, despite the translation of the Keiserliche Heer was actually the Imperial Army rather then the Royal Army in german, although many just called it the Quincy army.
To explain this little dilemma easier, Ichigo is the Emperor of the Wandenreich, that would make the true name of the Quincy army the Keiserliche Heer, which translates into the Imperial Army, however, Ichigo was also the King of the Quincies, so that would also give the Quincy army the unofficial name of the Königliche Heer aswell which translated into the Royal Army, so the name Royal Army was in actuality inaccurate, however, it is also a proper name due to Ichigo's two titles of Emperor and King, so both the Imperial Army and the Royal Army was correct, however, on paper and on everything that the army owned with it's full name on it, it would always say Keiserliche Heer.
So for the airforce and the navy, their true name was actually the Keiserliche Luftwaffe, translated to the Imperial Airforce, but can also be called the royal airforce as an unofficial name, and the navy was by it's full name, called the Keiserliche Kriegsmarine, which, in full accuracy, translated to the Imperial War Navy.
Regardless, the navy still had their ship identifications, and fleets could be made and disbanded out in the field so nothing was constant there either, and the airforce had a tendency to change group names, depending on the flight as nothing was constant there.
Ichigo checked with the servants to ensure that the aircraft was stocked with snacks, drinks and food for Sabrina just in case, of course they would be served dinner at the party, and lunch could be served at the party if desired, but it wasn't actually a part of the party program as it had all been pre-planned, so Ichigo thought it best for Sabrina to eat lunch on the aircraft instead as that was a viable option, but they would make sure that no one walked around hungry according to the documents.
Eventually it was time to depart, and Sabrina gave off goodbye hugs to everyone before they exited the aircraft and later watched it depart before heading back to Silbern to view the new armor designs.
Silbern Gallery
***Sometime Later***
Ichigo and Bambietta arrived at the gallery, where the staff had been preparing the new armor pieces, and much to their surprise, the uniforms had been modified from long trenchcoats to short trench coats, almost similar to Bambietta's in terms of size, although they did keep the two different trench coats, one for the regular soldiers and one for the officers so that was unchanged, although they did remove the short cloaks from the uniforms as the new armor pieces wasn't compatible with them and the short cloaks would only get in the way.
Although they would get some cloaks for bad weather with arms on them and hoods in a color of white and the five pointed cross on the back, but that was more suitable for bad weather, although the H.E.C.D was excluded from those cloaks due to their combat wear.
Ichigo and Bambietta both went to the chancellors were they all were rather amazed at these new armor pieces, designed for comfort, utility and protection on the soldiers in the field, going so far that the armor could be worn at any time they were on duty without hinderance or becoming too heavy, while offering a good amount of protection, especially on the vital parts of the body as Zakronium metal was very solid in terms of spiritual attacks aswell as regular pressure, so let's look into it these new armor pieces as there was several.
Regardless, Erwig and some other came in and decided to explain these new armor pieces in better detail.
Soldat Armor Piece:
This armor piece was very special, first off you had the smaller trench coat and the pants aswell as the boots, which the Quincy army traditionally used, it still had chainmail but it was lighter, as Zakronium was placed inside instead of the old material, giving the uniform an armor upgrade, now we came to the heavy armor pieces which could be constantly worn, and would later become mandatory when on certain duties or in combat to save Quincy lives in the field.
On the top the gasmask, goggles and the baret was all removed and replaced, first the soldier would put on a hood that covered everything but the face, similar to a fire hood, before putting on a full face gasmask with two filters on the outside and the same functions as the old masks, the goggles was attached to the mask this time so it wasn't a seperate piece, the eyes on the goggles were still square like the old goggles but smaller and the glass could darken if the user put reishi into it, which was handy in case the soldier meet something very bright, of course they did protect against rapid flashes like something similar to a flashbang.
The mask was also made to cover the ears to avoid any loud bangs that might disorient the soldier in the field aswell, including a radio was put into it, naturally, before they would put on what came on top, the Quincy Stahlhelm, shaped in a similar manner to the german Stahlhelm of ww2, which protected what was unguarded of the head, with the old material the stahlhelm was only used by the engineers to protect their heads from debries as the old material wasn't potent in a thin layer, however Zakronium changed that, so now they could use it freely in the field of battle to protect their heads from snipers and explosions aswell as debries, the Stahlhelm had two small silver five pointed crosses on each side.
Additionally a body armor was made, covering the chest, neck and most of the stomach aswell as the back, the armor was attached to leather straps which could be connected on the sides, aswell as a leather strap built into the armor made to attach the buckle of the equipment belt which was the actual storage of the equipment belt on the front, aswell as attachment areas for the handheld radio connected to the mask on both the stomach strap and the chest, additionally there was a large five pointed cross on the chest region, showing the allegiance of the soldier.
The top part of it had a neck protector which served as an armored collar, which was designed in a manner to allow the free movement of the head, protecting the neck 360 degrees as that part of the armor was raised to surround most of the neck to protect it, on the front of it was two areas areas where you could attach the rank insignia on the collar.
The back of it however was specially made, since it was an area where you could attach things, like a flamethrower, backpack, or a phone radio directly to the body armor, aswell as it possessed an inbuilt device, because Zakronium did have one flaw, and that was electricity, it served as the perfect conduit for electricity, which could prove fatal, so to counter this, the research division built in a electrical disperser, which absorbed all electricity in the body and armor in case a soldier should get unlucky, and dispersed it, going so far as to allow the armor itself to annull Candice's most potent attacks for a few barrages, although it did have it's limits, so if Candice was patient, she could bypass it by overloading it, however it was easily replaced and the armor did come with spare dispersers just in case which could be stored in the equipment buckle.
Additionally the body armor had a special shoulder piece attached to it that protected the upper arms, a Zakronium shoulder piece that protected both the shoulder and the upper arm with large silver five pointed crosses on them, all armor pieces was padded on the inside to maintain the heat during cold times and to ensure that the soldiers didn't burn themselves when they were in hot areas, as metal could get very hot and very cold, but this padding also made them comfortable to wear while they laid on the ground.
Underneath that again was the gloves, with a cross attachment built into it, you could attach a cross chain there and then attach the cross to the glove seperately so it didn't move when moving around and release it by putting reishi into it, the gloves were built with hardened knuckles to allow the soldier to beat down an opponent in the field during a fist fight, additionally it also possessed a shielded top just in case they got into a melee fight, and the glove was made to be hard to cut even by spiritual swords, unless the soldier tried to get lucky with a captain level combatant who would cut it like butter, same with the rest of the armor, additionally the gloves was made to make it easy to use a rifle or ranged weapon during combat, same with the bow.
As for the legs, their boots were mostly the same, only different metal inside, however they did have a Zakronium plate in front of their shin to protect it from any hazards on the ground as it was exposed to ground hazards, same with the foot, although the boots did that job, though they didn't bother to armor up the upper leg, mostly because it was a part that was usually in constant movement and the primary target would be either the head or the upper body.
However, this was a special situation, because the Quincies were now moving away from their silver color in the armor, as they didn't bother to paint too much on the Zakronium armor piece, letting it maintain it's regular dark color, but the uniforms themselves was white.
H.E.C.D soldier:
Now these soldiers also got a change, as their entire uniform changed to a pure white, orange and blue uniform
They wore a full head helmet, where the goggles was shaped similary to divers goggles with the same capability as the soldat mask, additionally there was several thick armored lines going to the mask, attached to a piece on their backs, which was a device made to clean reishi and turn it into oxygen, aswell as the device functioned as a flamethrower and a charging station for electricity.
Their armor mostly consisted of several layers of inbuilt chainmail, in short it was a hazmat suit on the outside, chainmail, hazmat suit again, chainmail, hazmat suit, and then chainmail again before going back to a hazmat suit, so they had many layers of protection, this was because the hazmat suit was hard enough to walk around in compared to other military uniforms, despite all attempts to make them more comfortable and agile, so any additional armor has proven to make it slugish, so they just put a lot of chainmail inside aswell to make up for it.
A.N.U Soldier:
For unit one, they would wear the same armor as the soldat, same markings on the armor aswell, but there was one difference, because the armor collar had the rank insignias on both sides normally, but for the A.N.U, the left side insignia would show the rank and the right side insignia would have the sigil of the A.N.U, so unless you got a good look at their collar and saw the right side insignia, you would probably mistake them for the standard soldier instead, they would still were their standard uniform underneath but due to the armor covering most of it up, it was hard to tell the difference as the uniforms would appear similar to that of a regular soldat, even their boots would change to that of a regular soldat rather then those black unarmored ones, additionally their names were considered changed from the patrol and punishment division to the Patrol and Response division as they did more patrolling and responding then actual punishment, besides, a punishment could also be considered a response aswell so it all went with the name, besides, they do some responses to the war aswell and do at times although rarely participate in combat as they were all overzealous elites after all, so why not use them?
For unit two, they are an intelligence unit working on computers, why waste armor?
For unit three, they got a vest with inbuilt chainmail, as they were only prison guards after all, although they would wear the armored mask and the stahlhelm aswell as the gloves, although their west was black.
For unit four, no change was needed as armor would only hinder them during covert and black operations.
Sturmarmee Soldier:
Not much change was done, they got a similar breastplate to the soldat, only made slightly thinner, aswell their upper arms would also be armored, other then that, no other change was made as their speed made up for their lack of armor.
Jagdarmee Soldier:
Now these soldiers got a huge makeover, as their regular uniforms now had a white and blue camouflage, they also got a vest with several layers of Zakronium chainmail inside, they also wore the armored mask and the stahlhelm, their vest was also black and had upper arm protection, they also had shoulder pads and knee pads, as they were unit prone to crouching a lot or being in thight areas to hunt their targets.
The K.G however would be left mostly untouched, as they were all already captain level fighters and could utilize their powers to defend themselves, so no armor was really needed for them, although they would still get new uniforms identical to the ones they currently have with Zakronium chainmail built inside the clothing, and that's it, although there is consideration of changing their headwear from the barrett to the stahlhelm and the mask and goggles to the new mask.
Ichigo was amazed at these new armor pieces as Erwig explained every detail on them and their build up, then Ichigo looked at a table and noticed another viable option for the military to use, namely a new ranged weapon utilizing reishi bullets.
For weeks the research division has been trying to figure out a way to combine the SMG and the rifle, and now after much trial and testing of several manifested weapons, they had landed at the optimal one, that functioned like a rifle and an SMG, namely the STG, or by it's full name, the Sturmgewehr, which translated into Stormrifle, which had a partially identical appearance to the STG 44, also known as the MP44 although the latter is inaccurate, it's real counterpart was actually made in 1943 by the German army, but the Quincy variant looks slightly different.
It was mostly a dark colored weapon, It was also capable of more modification on the front barel and and had a rate of fire of 600 rounds a minute, the Quincies managed to get it up to 750 in full automatic, although it did possess a single fire mode which would be the standard so normally it would be shot by a rifle, after all there was still the recoil, however like the rifle, it had a range of 1000 meters standard, and 2000 meters with supercharged rounds, this was the weapon the Quincy military has been wanting to get their hands on, one that was effective, one that allowed for rapid fire if needed, which allowed for one soldier to rapidly take down several opponents at once without having to waste time manifesting the SMG instead, aswell as other opportunities.
The front of it was modified, mostly the end of the barrel to be able to utilize all kinds of attachments the rifle was compatible with, like grenade launcher attachment to the barrel or bayonet or rifle halberds like the K.G uses, which was quite handy.
A change was made with the edge where you hold your hand, as the rifle was manifested with a grip that was attached to it, which was a moveable grip stuck to the rifle, normally it was locked in the up position but you could utilize reishi to unlock it and then move it down so you could hold it like an SMG, which was a quite nice feature as it allowed for more options and control when using it.
Behind there again was the main body of the rifle, you could manifest a 30 round magazine to it, and include one for the required reishi round inside the chamber, as it followed the SMG system, the loading lever was controlling the firing method by locking the rounds inside the magazine, and it could be released by a square button on the trigger grip which was located on the top left side of the rifle and was to be pushed with the thumb, if the lever was backwards, it was single shot mode, if it was forwards then it was full automatic, similar to the SMG system, although you didn't need to move it up or down, and compared to the regular STG 44, it only moved half the distance compared to the STG 44.
However, in order to make this system work, you first needed to create a reishi round inside the chamber, then fire that one on full automatic, so you would have a total of 31 rounds, otherwise the rifle wouldn't get the recoil pressure needed to pick up the other rounds, the lever just locked this function, however it did come with a small sealing clip as it was called, as you didn't need a magazine to fire it, as you would just utilize reishi to make a reishi round in the chamber, and this manifested clip was essentially a small magazine of sorts, only it was sealed tight and put into the rifle and was much smaller then the regular magazine, if you put it in, you could barely even feel it.
On the right side of the body was a cover you could use reishi to open in order to access the chamber and check if the rifle was loaded with a reishi round in case you were unable to sense it somehow, which was a very real possibility, the cover looked identical to the dirt cover of the real STG 44, and it could be used to clean the rifle internally aswell incase you got unlucky and tripped into dirt and the rifle got muddy and dirty.
The purpose of this one however was to seal the chamber and the interior of the rifle in case of dirt, for if the cross was made of steel rather then silver, which was very common in the military, the dirt would be inside the cross when it got dispelled, if it was too much, then the cross would be destroyed as it wouldn't be able to dispel properly, or some dirt or mud could get stuck on moving parts and jam them, causing the weapon to be unable to fire, which, in a battlefield, was not really good news, so cleaning it was a necessity, just like the SMG and the rifle.
The STG would replace the K98 rifle in many ways, however, the K98 was still the better sniper rifle, so it was still usable, especially now that the research division has created a device called the K98 clip, which was a small mechanical device made to increase the range of the rifle when put into the chamber by supercharging the casing for the user, and the SMG would still be used by police and SWAT, and might be used by military guards.
The K98 rifle was not optimal in small and tight quarter fighting, so the SMG was tried out and manifested to counter that due it's smaller size, the K98 had a length of 1110mm, where the SMG had a length of 833mm, which was significantly shorter, however the STG was right in the middle, making it doable in close quarter combat, as it had a length of 940mm instead, significantly lower then the rifle.
However despite not being the optimal sniper, it was still the optimal combat rifle in a massive battlefield, so at long ranges, you could put on a scope designed for it, although the rifle was designed to be manifested with a medium range scope, which was the only viable option due to it's design, which helped up to 1000 meters, although the scope did look similar to the traditional STG 44 scope, and was attached in the same manner.
Speaking of scopes, the K98 rifle clip was designed to take the force of a massively supercharged casing, as it allowed for the rifle to gain a further reach, namely all the way up to 5000 meters, which is 5 kilometers, compared to the fact that it formerly had the capabilities of the STG, so the rifle would not be taken out of the army, that's for certain as it was the perfect sniper rifle at this point, regardless the STG was a lot similar to it's real life counterpart, this meant that the scope had to be massively changed to be able to zoom much further.
And in regard for the uniforms, the barretts weren't really taken out of the uniform, as it could be used whenever the soldier wanted to while on guard duty or something like that, the cap was mostly used for free time.
And in regards for the weapons, all they needed to do was to hand out the manual to the troops on how to manifest it in detail, and then they could train themselves, quite a simple system, the manuals would begin printing once Ichigo had signed off on his approval, and they would print thousands of them as soon as possible to ensure that the forces on the front lines and the combat ready troops got them as quickly as possible before moving on to the home troops, although the national guard was prioritized last so they would probably use the rifle for now, no change was really made for them either.
As Erwig finished his explanation, Ichigo, without a second thought, permitted the new set of armor.
"I am happy that you are content with them your majesty, I assure you, we have done a lot of checks with this armor set up and it shows great promise, it will not disappoint!" Erwig said very confidently as Ichigo just nodded as a guard entered.
"Your majesty?" The guard said.
"Yeah?" Ichigo replied, curious as to what he wanted.
"Queen Artemis is here, she requests to see you immediately, she said it's urgent." The guard stated as Ichigo was left rather curious as to what was going on.
"Where is she?" Ichigo asked curiously.
"She was adamant on waiting outside your office your majesty." The guard said as Ichigo began to move towards his office.
"Alright, I'll head right over." Ichigo replied as he decided to leave the room.
As soon as Ichigo had left, the entire group was left staring at the door Ichigo just went through.
"I wonder what's going on?" Meninas asked.
"No idea." Liltotto replied.
"Hmm..." Was all that Bambietta said.
Uryu just looked but didn't say anything, until he noticed something, and soon Bambietta did aswell, as she quickly noticed something being placed on her head, spooking her a bit.
"Ahh, wait, who is... What's this!?" Bambietta said before she quickly realized it was a stahlhelm, causing her to quickly look behind her.
"With your habit of hitting your head and usually getting injured by it, I figured that it might be for the best that you always wear this from now in... Isn't it nice?.. I think his majesty allowed for this helmet just to protect his loving wife in secret." Fifi said as she made an appearance, teasing Bambietta a bit.
A slight tick mark appeared on Bambietta's head out of pure annoyance.
"Hey, I only injured my head two times! Not more time than that!" Bambietta replied rather annoyed.
"For some people, that's a lot, considering that severe head injuries rarely happen." Liltotto replied, annoying Bambietta some more, causing an argument that was clearly bound to last a while.
Royal Office
Ichigo sat down in one of his two couches, on the opposite end, was Artemis, who surprisingly came alone, leaving Ichigo to wonder what she wanted to speak to him about, regardless a servant came with some tea and cookies, after all it was only proper to serve something when you had a visitor, especially one on the political level of another faction.
"Thank you." Artemis said as she looked at the cup in front of her.
"I heard your tribe got in a bit of problems in the infested forest." Ichigo said as he started the conversation.
"Not our proudest moment I admit." Artemis replied before she reached for her tea cup.
"A full blown retreat out of the forest, the defensive line managed to hold them off but they got the attention of plenty of nearby hellspawn who are closeby, throwing off random attacks." Ichigo replied as Artemis had just taken a zip of her tea, before she lowered the cup to say her piece.
"There were just too many of them, if anything I clearly underestimated their numbers." Artemis said in deep thought.
"We all did." Ichigo replied, taking some of the fault on himself.
"But I hear that on other fronts things are going mostly well, exluding an alarming find in the world of the living... Taiwan was it?" Artemis asked as she put down her cup.
"Correct." Ichigo said as he took up his cup and took a zip before he continued.
"But winning battles against the Dominion has little to no meaning if we are losing against the hellspawn... If they actually group up and attack us all at once, it's going to be hell to pay, and we have no way of defeating them as of yet..." Ichigo responded, not wanting to speak about his nuclear arsonal that was coming along nicely.
"But if we cannot defeat them in the field, it's going to become a major problem." Artemis replied.
"I don't doubt it." Ichigo replied with a frown as he took a cookie.
"Anyways, while the hellspawn is a part of the reason I am here, it isn't the very essence of it." Artemis said.
"Oh? Then if I may inquire, what did bring you here? Surely it cannot be worse then the hellspawn?" Ichigo asked curiously.
"Oh trust me it is." Artemis said as she managed to get Ichigo's undivided attention, causing her to continue.
"There are two reasons why I am here, first reason is that I have a little secret to tell, a secret closely guarded by all primoridal gods, a secret kept to hidden that not even the Zero division is aware of this." Artemis stated, causing Ichigo to just look at her with wonder.
To be continued
A/N: Short chapter I know, I haven't really been able to write so much as we are currently cleaning out a house and getting ready to sell it, a part of the aftermath of the deceased family member a while back, so whenever I had time to write, I was extremly tired, so if you find a fault in this chapter, do tell me, regardless I decided to leave this chapter on a cliffhanger, I do wonder what comes next.
A lot of the new armor sets were highly inspired by Wolfenstein, an awesome game, albeit a bit modified on the armor, same with the weapon, which is inspired from both real life and the game with it's modification, and these pieces can be googled, regardless here they are.
The STG has some slight similarity to the AR46 on the front, which is a wolfenstein counterpart of the STG 44.
Soldat and A.N.U unit one armor is a modified but also identical armor piece to the 1960's wolfenstein Soldat, where the modifications are the collar and parts of it back purpose, aswell as the shoulder armor doesn't have grabbing points, the same with the mask, which is inspired by the Quincy goggles and the lower part of the Riot Trooper mask in terms of the filters, underneath the armor they do wear their traditional uniforms, although trench coats have been severly shortened.
Although all branches except the H.E.C.D have the same face masks and helmets for combat wear, or they will as soon as they are issued.
H.E.C.D carries a similar uniform to the Wolfenstein Fire Trooper with modified colors
A.N.U unit three is inspired by the armor of the riot trooper, although only the vest was added on them.
The Sturmarmee would have a similar armor to Deathhead's commando, only with shoulder pieces on both sides.
The Jagdarmee has a very identical uniform to the Wolfenstein Afrika Korps, only with modified colors, which is a blue and white camouflage on their uniform.
