Author's note:
Welcome back. I hoped you liked the chapter. If you are confused about the uniforms of the defenders look up Papal knights from Hellsing. And when researching I've learned that prior to the 1980s the Vatican had its own military with the Swiss guard and a police force being the remnant of said military.
I hope you'll like this next chapter, as it covers the aftermath of Operation Aurora Borealis and the attacks of the Vatican. From now on, translations into English will be bolded, same with transliteration. This will also affect the earlier chapters with a translation. Any names that I've used are coincidental as I made them up or looked online and came up with a name.
M for language.
April 14, 1963
Cardinal Montini arrives at Washington D.C airport around 8:00 pm. He is soon greeted by White House staff that will escort him to his stay. He requested to stay near the Washington D.C. Basilica. Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington and that he will visit Washington in the morning.
Right now at eleven pm, the Night Hunters are preparing themselves for their mission in Spain. Hopefully, they're to leave by mid-afternoon, heading to the Navy docks at Norfolk Virginia. Meeting with Army groups south and south center, who alongside several Monroe Alliance forces, can attack through the Mediterranean sea.
April 15, 1963
With the successful raid on Greenland by the Night Hunters. Greenland falls back to US control and mass surrender of Nazi forces on the island. After hearing about the loss of Greenland and hearing reports of US Naval ships spotted, coupled with several partisan attacks by the local Icelandic population. A brigadier general of the Wehrmacht in Iceland calls for a surrender order. He doesn't want to see his troops massacred since they're effectively surrounded. He allows the US, British, and Canadian forces to land on Icelandic lands.
The US Northern Atlantic Navy takes on the weakened Kriegsmarine. Since the latter lost several of its ships, their strength is severally limited. This doesn't mean the US Navy lost several ships though. But they're able to repel back the Kriegsmarine back for the main invasion. Invasion of the Faroe Islands, and the British Isles.
After the repulsion of all Axis forces from the western hemisphere, the US and Monroe alliance form a large naval force in the south heading for Southern Europe and the Mediterranean.
In the Pacific theater, the US Marines in Okinawa and the Philippians can push back Indian and Indonesian forces away from the Philippians. This theater is unlike twenty years ago, where the Marines and Pacific Navy had some if not the extreme difficulty of fighting the Japanese. But this time, they're ready for any attack and are planning to make moves in Indonesia and Malaysia hoping to influence them to stay out of the war with a show of force. If possible even reach India, as the British crown hopes to gain some degree of control of India back after their independence and turn to the Nazis after the fall of Britain. After the strike on the US, men who went into exile begin to make their arrival back. With men such as Josip Broz Tito making their way back to their homeland to lead the effort of liberation of Yugoslavia and end the slaughter of the Yugoslavs by the Ustashe, Hoxha leading the liberation of Albania. Hoping that the Balkans can at least be a thorn in the Germans and fascists side.
After the sacking of the Vatican and the announcement of Pope John XXIII's death. The Christian world begins to cry out in outrage at committing such a heinous act. An act that hasn't been seen since the fall of Rome in 476 or the sack of Rome of 1527. This act is condemned by several catholic nations such as Italy after being lied to and seeing death befall on them and the holy city, and Spain, whose leader, Francisco Franco, has condemned the attack as an attack on Spain as well. But now, he's in deep thought on the next course of action.

Madrid, Spain
Prime Minister Francisco Franco is at a crossroads. He vehemently condemns the attack on Vatican City by the Nazis, but can't do much since the Nazis are stronger than the Spaniards. His citizens are restless as Spain is a Catholic-majority country and they too are tired angered on how such an event could occur. Yes, many are in despair but several still want revenge. It's his country or his allegiance to the Nazis. He must make a choice. He decides to go the diplomatic route. Franco calls for a direct line with President Kennedy.

Washington D.C.
"Prime Minister Franco. I'd never thought I'd never get a call from you first early in the morning." Kennedy responds to the call from Franco.
"Hola, Señor Presidete. Por favor oíar me. El governo del España estamos cancado con esta guerra. También los ciudadanos quiénestan frustrado a los Nazis despues que destruido el Vaticano. Despues de todo esta muerte, por favor hacemos un armisticio."
(Hello, Mr. President. Please hear me out. The Spanish government is tired of this war. Same with the citizens who are frustrated at the Nazis after they destroyed the Vatican. After all of this death, please can we make an armistice.) Franco responds. A White House Spanish translator translates for Kennedy in real-time.
"An armistice? After your forces attempted and attacked Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba. Why do you want peace all of a sudden?" Asked Kennedy.
"Como nosotros dos somos los liederes de nuesta nación y somos Catholicos. Nosotros quermos un armasticio. Un paz queue no solo salva las vidas del miles del soldados y evitar innecesario muerte. Pero también que pongar los Nazis en su lugar despues de el attacko al Vaticao."
(Since we both are leaders of our nations and we're Catholics. We want an armistice. a peace that will not only save the lives of thousands of soldiers and prevent unnecessary deaths. But also put the Nazis in their place after the attack on the Vatican.) The translator replies.
"An armistice. What are your terms." Asked Kennedy.
"Que usteds quieran. Excepto el cambio del terreno Española."
(Anything you want. Except for the exchange of Spanish lands.) The translator replies.
"An entrance into the Mediterranean Sea through the straights of Gibraltar, and the end of your siege of the British territory of Gibraltar. Some reparations and your word that your forces won't attack American, British, Canadian, or any other Monroe forces going through Gibraltar, in the Mediterranian Sea, or the Bay of Biscay. In return, I will safely return any and all Spanish POWs currently in American and Monroe prisons, as well as sending back the bodies of the fallen Spaniards. Do we have a deal? " Kennedy laid out his demands for the US on Franco. Prime Minister Francisco Franco talks it over with his advisors and ministers about this. He knows that if this treaty goes out, then Spain is going to feel the wrath of Hitler, worse yet his ice general. But he relents and decides to move forward.
"Sí. Tenemos un acuerdo. Pero también, puedemos hacer esta trato en secreto. Porque Hitler si el salve que yo lo traicionado. Que el nos van a matar con su general del hielo y opersionar la gente Española."
(Yes. We have an agreement. But also, can we keep this treaty a secret. Because if Hitler knows that I betrayed him. Then he'll kill us with his ice general and the people of Spain.) The translator replies.
"It's a deal then. Oh, and before I forget, I'm having this meeting recorded and written down so we can make sure to put it on paper for when the war comes to an end and a peace treaty can be made. Thank you for your time, Prime Minister Franco. We've reached one step to global peace and an end to our nation's hostility that has lasted long enough." Kennedy thanks Franco as he cuts the call. He wonders why the dictator of Spain would call him. He should be wary of such diplomatic moves. But he's grateful since Spain is out of the war that means thousands of American and Monroe lives are saved. But he also has to tell this to Col. Reeds and his Night Hunters group. Hopefully, they're still in Washington.
Back in Madrid. Franco hopes that Spain can be at peace with the US. As the two nations never had good diplomatic ties. Franco steps out and leaves his office building, with his ministers having their heads down to the fact that they've betrayed Hitler and if word got out, then it's the end for Spain and Franco. Outside of the congressional building, he sees a Catholic Franciscan monk playing the guitar on the steps. He plays a sad song but a song of warning. A song called, Pecador Contempla. (Sinner, Contemplate.)

Fort Myer, Arlington Virginia
Akame wakes up first ahead of everyone. She prepares and changes herself and makes her way down to the kitchen in order to cook breakfast for everyone. Personally, she still can't wrap around the idea of how one can not only a lot of food at a cheap price but also preserve it too. A bit saddened by the fact that there isn't a place nearby to hunt fresh game. But continues nonetheless.
0700
Tatsumi wakes up in his bed. The Night Hunters are lucky to get such accommodations, one part of their accommodations is that the Night Hunters get their own quarters in Arlington, only a few minutes from the Pentagon and the White House. Soon everyone else begins to wake up. The home was an old home that was on sale and later sold to the US Army as an effort to establish and expand a fort near Washington. Now the home belongs to them, it was a big house with five rooms and a few other commodities such as a kitchen and living room and a couple of other rooms for personal storage, specifically, everyone has one to two boxes of stuff they have. Though it wasn't as big as the Night Raid secret hideout. What's interesting to them is that the other eleven members were given their own home just across the street from theirs. Though everyone knows this is temporary, at least it's a permeant home for when they return to the US capital. Everyone in the nine-man group sleeps in gender-segregated rooms, while WO1 Wilson and the other sergeants sleep in their own home, only coming out for early morning PT.
0730
Everyone else soon wakes up and can smell something good cooking up downstairs. Everyone takes the next couple of minutes to get ready and will eventually go down to eat. The first to come down was Tatsumi who sees Akame cooking up a hefty breakfast. Traditional bacon and eggs with rice and to top of with a couple of croquettes. The next to come is Anderson, who came back from personal morning PT, another benefit of being in the Night Hunters. The next two are Lubbock and Wave, followed by Kurome and Chelsea. Mine and Sheele kept to the same sleep schedule as in the old Night Raid Hideout, but the two also begin to wake up and did what they normally do. Akame has finished preparing breakfast for everyone in the home and sets the table and places down breakfast on the table followed by a fork and knife.
"This looks pretty good Akame. Thanks for the meal." Tatsumi compliments Akame as he begins to eat his breakfast. Everyone else in the kitchen also said thanks for the meal and begin to eat. They compliment her cooking style. Lubbock gets up, walks to the living room, and turns the TV on to hopefully find something good. Unfortunately, it's some western show, a drama, or the news.
"That was pretty good. Something my mother would have made and possibly been jealous of." Anderson compliments, she accepts the compliment.
"Where are Mine and Sheele?" Asked Chelsea.
"They always sleep in late. Probably won't wake for another hour or so." Akame responds to Chelsea's questions as she reaches for Mine and Sheele's breakfast. She quickly devours them and places them back.
"I'm still amazed by the speed of an assassin." Tatsumi comments on the action.
"You can say that again." Akame replies.
"Akame, behind you." Tatsumi warns her. Sheele enters the kitchen and looks around a bit.
"Huh? Where is my breakfast?" Sheele asks.
"Akame ate it. There are some bagels, bread, and some spreads in the fridge and the counter." Chelsea tells her.
Anderson gets up from the table and thanks Akame for the breakfast.
"Quick announcement everyone. We get ready by 0110. By then we'd be heading with the rest of our unit to Norfolk Virginia where we'd be ready to enter a Naval ship and head straight to Spain. Do our mission and get out before the enemy know what hit them. Alright. Go do what you need to do." Anderson announces to the whole group. He'll relay the same information to Mine as well when she wakes up. A phone begins to ring. Kurome answers it.
"Captain, it's for you. It's from Col. Reeds." Kurome responds. He grabs the phone box and orders, everyone, to the living room as it's a private conversation.
Everyone except Anderson enters the living room as Lubbock turns on to NBC Today. There they hear about several things about current events in news, fashion, and other news. One important piece of news is the arrival of Cardinal Montini and the destruction of the Vatican. With the anchors announcing that Cardinal Montini will be coronated as the new Pope, Pope Paul VI in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at Washington D.C. His coronation ceremony will be performed at 9:00 am est. Mine comes down from the stairs and enters the living room to see almost everyone there.
"Morning everyone. Where's the captain?" Mine asks.
"He's in the kitchen. He sounds a bit mad." Kurome responds to her.
"I see you've all have eaten breakfast." Mine responded. Anderson places the phone down and enters the living room. He announces to everyone about the phone call.
"Everyone. I got some good news and bad news."
"What's the bad news?" Tatsumi asked.
"President Kennedy and the dictator of Spain, Prime Minister Franco, both came to an armistice."
"What does that mean?" Asked Sheele.
"It means that Spain and the US came to lay arms. US and Monroe Armed forces are going to enter the Mediterranean Sea now and Spanish forces won't attack or harass them in the Mediterranean sea and the Bay of Biscay. As we speak two Special Forces groups 3rd and 5th groups will be taking over the North Africa, Arabic, and Southern European Campaigns. Unconventional warfare and counter-insurgency are what they'll lead. Followed closely by our armies attacking from North Africa to Palestine and Southern Italy and the Southern Balkans." Anderson orders.
"So we are not going to Spain then?" Lubbock asks.
"That's correct." Anderson replies. Lubbock is now agitated because he just learned several words from Hernandez and Alvarez to peak at the ladies of Spain. Such as "Yo soy un rana's verde culo." (I am a handsome and suave guy.). Anderson corrects Lubbock on the actual meaning, "I am a frog's green ass.". Chelsea backs up on Anderson with the meaning. Lubbock is now more agitated at the embarrassment of being ignorant of the meanings and being duped by the lie.
"So what's the good news?" Tatsumi asked again.
"We're be deploying with our same fleet. From there we'll be taking a helicopter to link up with US Army Group North and Northeast. They'll be departing today as well but at an hour earlier. So we'll be leaving Washington by 1130 and be by the ships before 1300. Does anyone have questions?" Anderson wraps up.
"Yes. Why would they deploy us with US Army North and Northeast?" Asked Akame.
"Because that is where Nazi strength is most high. Also expected to encounter Esdeath's new unit over there. General Wheeler also recommended this plan to Reeds. But if she is not there, then her goons maybe. BUT they also want us to help lead an attack at least a few days prior to the main invasion." Anderson responds.
"And he went along with it?" Akame followed up.
"He certainly most did." Anderson responded.
"Remembers be ready by eleven and we leave Washington by twelve." Anderson gave them new orders. They agree on the new orders given to them. Anderson leaves the living room and goes to his room to prepare his equipment and leaves the house to tell WO1 Wilson and the other sergeants the same mission orders.
"I don't get it?" Asked Tatsumi.
"Get what?" Asked Mine.
"Why do we have to cramp up in a place like this. I thought we would get similar accommodations in the front, or possibly in the middle of enemy territory. Helps complete their missions quickly and wrap this war up within the year." Tatsumi asks. Everyone knows it well too.
"Because there is no suitable location for us to be well hidden. Even my time in France, was mostly hills and grasslands and the places with mountains are still accessible via air or specialized mountain troops. There aren't any danger beasts to even worry about but it's still accessible to enemies who are good with a map and compass or just dumb luck." Chelsea responds to his question.
"Besides, most of the highlands and more difficult places to reach would be in the East and the Middle East like Iran or Afghanistan. Mountainous countries and yet you can see whole armies marching through those passes. That and most of us don't even know much of this new world aside from living around the areas and maps given to us so we don't get lost." Chelsea added on.
"I'm pretty sure you've already got a general idea of places like France or Spain and maybe Italy." Lubbock commented.
"Not much actually. I only ever explored parts of southern France and a bit in northern France such as the capital of Paris and even into Germany proper. That's only thanks to my Gaea Foundation that I was able to complete some recon missions and even assassinations of leaders and generals. The only aspect that nearly got me caught on several occasions is not understanding French or any languages when I first started doing my missions. I looked highly suspicious since I couldn't understand a single word. But in time I managed to learn it and get away with missions without suspicion." Chelsea added on more. She tells the group about this so they don't get too comfortable in the past but also learn the area and the language beforehand.
"Trust me. Even if you get a basic grasp on something, there is always something worse that will make you un-grasp it. An example would be how I assumed everyone spoke the same language but there is not only a difference of languages between nations but also sometimes some differences in dialects and local pronunciations too." Chelsea added in more.
"Anyways we got before eleven to pack our stuff. Does anyone know what to do until now? Probably check out the cemetery over there or visit the mall?" Chelsea gives suggestions to the group. They all think about it for a minute. But decided to wait out the clock here.

Maryland
In a military airbase, two trucks enter the airbase. Carrying is the twenty-man Night Hunter group. Instead of a plane in front of them, they see a CH-47 Chinook. Anderson, Wilson, and the other Sergeants enter the Chinook followed by Akame, Mine, Tatsumi, etc. Anderson and the other non-imperial arms users all still wear their green berets but with black flashes, with Anderson and Wilson wearing theirs but with the SF insignia replaced with their respective ranks. They wear an olive green field jacket with the USNH Symbol and US Flag on the right sleeve, and their ranks are sewn in on the left sleeve, they've also worn the US Army OG-107 combat uniforms.
Whilst the Imperial Arms users still wear their trench coats that have the USNH logo and American flag patches embroidered on the right sleeve. They wish they can opt-out of wearing the OG-107 uniform and still wear their original clothing, reasoning that to be more entrusted by the locals and seen as not the enemy, but unfortunately the generals had their way and now had the Imperial Arms users also wear the OG-107 fatigue uniform with their name patches and badges they've earned in the couple weeks of training they've had. But are not allowed to display their Army ranks since they're unofficially in the Army. Until they begin their first mission, they're to wear their OG-107s for now. Every single one of them carries their rucksack of the items they need and their own weapons, the imperial arms users with their imperial arms, and the non-imperial arms users with their AR-15.
They all sat in the chinook and the final person to enter is Col. Reeds, wearing his OG-107 uniform along with his rank and his own green beret. He carries his rucksack as well and a briefcase on hand as well when needed. The chinook closes its back door and finally lifts into the air. People like Akame, Mine and Tatsumi all like the idea of these vehicles existing. As it could've been a great advantage for the Revolution. But it would also be a matter of time before the Empire acquired such technology.
Col. Reeds sits next to Anderson and gives him a briefcase. Anderson thanked him and will look into it later. He decided to read it later when they get to their carrier.
1210
To pass the time some of them began to sing some songs or marches they know, taking turns singing especially the song Blood Upon the Risers, Battle Hymn of the Republic, ad songs from their childhood or radio.
"Chelsea, Sheele. What kind of "Imperial Arms" do you two use? Anything special about them?" WO1 Wilson asked.
"Because last mission, we were impressed by those seven over there, and I'm willing to believe the reports of Wave and Tatsumi having a difference on the same coin. Basically, those two are different but the same." Wilson continues.
Chelsea answers first.
"If you want to know, then for my imperial arms. It's called Phantasmagoria: Gaea Foundation. Allows me to transform into whatever person or animal I like wants or need. Also allows me to take on any characteristics and abilities of that animal. After some medaling and learning about it, I can also transform items. But they're more or less keeping the same mass. Like if I change a car to a ball. Then you will break your foot if you kick it." Chelsea responds.
"That sounds interesting. Can you do a little demonstration for us?" Asked Wilson.
"Sure. Into what you want me to be?" Chelsea responded.
"Ah, me." Wilson responded. She opened up her imperial arms and in a smoky cloud that dissipated, she became the exact figure as Wilson. Down to the smallest detail even mimicking his voice.
"Holy shit! It's like looking into a mirror." Wilson responded. She transformed a couple of times more. To a kitten, one of the Night Hunters, and even Elvis Presley. Chelsea then turns back into her original self.
"I see that as useful, and you Sheele? What do your imperial arms can do? I assume it has something to do with those giant pair of scissors." Wilson turns her attention to Sheele. Sheele at first stumbles with words because she was out of mind. But then comes up with a straightforward answer. She holds Extase upright to show off.
"My imperial arms is called, Extase. With this, I'm able to cut through pretty much any material in exitance. It's surprisingly lightweight and extremely durable. Which can be easily used as a shield." Sheele explains. Some of the sergeants are looking at her with suspicion, to them, it's just an oversized pair of scissors that claims to have the ability to cut anything. It's unlike what they've already seen on the field from the other seven users. One of them can kill in one slice, the other turns you into a human puppet, one is a gun that fires "spirit bullets", two of them are practically the same except one is of a later generation, and the last is manipulable wire, or how Sgt. Moore put it, dental floss.
"How about this." Sgt. Moore pulls out a single 7.62mm round from his breast pocket and shows it to her. He flattens his palm and places the round standing up.
"This right here is 7.62 mm for the M14 rifle used by our infantry boys, it's also known as a Full Metal Jacket because of the brass that holds the bullet. Unlike the 5.56mm that we used for our AR-15s, and from what I heard a new rifle for us and our boys is coming soon because of our success in Greenland with our AR-15s. That's beside the point. The point is, if your able to cut this bullet width-wise in half, then I can believe you and that this oversized pair of scissors is able to cut anything." Moore challenges her imperial arms' ability to cut. Sheele agrees to the challenge. She looks to Anderson and Reeds to see if they'll approve such action. They tell her to go for it. She looks back at the 7.62 mm round. She lifts up Extase and in one swift execution, she slices the bullet in half/ At first it appeared to not have been affected until Sgt. Moore knocked over the bullet, the bullet was cut in half and the gunpowder spilled out. The non-imperial arms users are surprised by such action. Believing in her claims.
"If this can cut through metal. Then I guess stone too? Probably helps gets us out of a sticky situation." Sgt. Moore comments on Sheele's imperial arms. She thanks him and gives a slight bow.
"So I got a question about these "imperial arms"?" Msg. Miller asked.
"Go ahead and ask." Tatsumi asked.
"How do you nine acquired such impressive weaponry. From the looks of it, you pretty much have to sell your soul to the devil to get such weapons. And I don't intend on damming my soul if it meant acquiring such weapons." Msg. Miller asked. Akame responded.
"In our world. Over a thousand ago, the first emperor of the Empire wished to keep his Empire from falling and to live on till the end of time. He had his ministers, armies, scientist, alchemist, etc. to find rare materials like the orichalcon, hunt down S-class, or above danger beasts. He contracted the greatest minds in science and alchemy to create and forge the imperial arms. With his absolute power and limitless resources and fortunes, 48 imperial arms were made. A feat that wouldn't even be possible today in our timeline. They have great and amazing abilities, his generals and ministers experienced great success on the battlefield, able to wipe out entire armies with these weapons alone. But five hundred years later, a large civil war broke out and many are scattered and dispersed, or be destroyed." Akame responded.
"Huh, I wonder how much of history would have changed if we'd had these weapons. Because thousand years ago we were pretty much in the medieval ages with chainmail and stone castles. So making these would practically be impossible or require the help of some sort of divine intervention." Msg. Miller responded.
"But what happens if two users get in a fight." He continues asking.
"If two users choose to fight, then one is certain and without fail, die." Akame responded. Tatsumi looked back at the events of the past few weeks. He knew that in New York he was tagged teamed by Wave, Lubbock, and Mine. Why that if two users engage in combat and fight to the death.
"On the topic of empires. I believe that if one of these weapons fell into let's say, the Roman Empire. Then they'd practically be unstoppable in their conquest of the known world and we'd all be speaking in Latin. Same with the French empires, Russian, British, and Spanish empires." SFC. Johnson added on. They'd all agree on it since these empires are known to be the most powerful in all of the history of man, from the age of antiquity to the modern age.
"De opperso Libder? What does that mean?" Sheele asked changing the subject matter. Johnson took off their beret and unpinned the green beret insignia and tossed it to her.
""De Oppresso Liber". Its Latin for "To liberate the oppressed". Which is US Green Berets, or US Army Special Forces motto. As such it's our job to help those oppressed worldwide. You can keep that one, I got a couple more on me." Johnson tells Sheele. She thanks him as he pulls out another pin and replaces his original, he places his beret back on his head. SSG. Brown begins to make up a song on the spot. That song would eventually morph into the Ballad of the Green Berets and be put on paper by another member of the Green Berets.
1240
After an hour of flying, they land on a carrier 50 km from Norfolk Virginia. It was part of a multi naval strike force heading to the Mediterranean. Within a few hours, they're to go back on the chinook and fly to Northern group to lead an assault on the British Isles. The Northern fleet is already leaving New York, New Jersey, and Maine ports to lead the charge on the British Isles, while the Southern fleet will lead their assault on the Mediterranean.
1730
After resting upon the carrier the Night Hunters load up one last time in the chinook and fly to the Northern Carrier group to aid in the fiercest part of their campaign. The British Isles campaign. Prior to entering the Chinook, one of the sergeants called up everyone to huddle together for a couple of group photos with a camera he brought, it was a small kodak camera, he asked a navy crewman to take the photos. Three flashes sprang out, it was a bit blinding at first, but the imperial arms users are able to manage it. The crewman gave back the camera to the sergeant. He tells them that by the time they get back to the US after their mission, he'll get them developed and make copies for everyone. Akame, Tatsumi, and the other imperial arms are interested by the camera and how its able take a moment and freeze it in time. Lubbock had an idea in the future for the small camera.

Siberia, Russia
In the area where the Lena river parts in two, almost hundred miles north of Yakutsk, stand a small garrison fort of eighty men. Many of the Nazi soldiers, most of whom are Soviet conscripts who come from all over the former Soviet Union, led by German officers and high-ranking NCOs from the Nazi party, stands guard. Many of the conscripts only wished they had fought like their fathers and grandfathers. Fighting and winning for the motherland. But now, many of them are relegated to simple and mindless slave tasks, essentially as slaves. To the officers and high-ranking NCOs, they see being stationed out in Siberia as a punishment, and so they take out their anger and frustration on the Slavs and central Turks that made up their Nazi Eastern Force. They do so because to them Slavs, Jews, Khazaks, etc. aren't even human. If anything they're roaches, no literal human waste that shouldn't even exist, not even fit enough to be compared towards an animal. At least an animal such as a roach has more self-respect than these wastes of human life. So it was better to have them die outright when the opportunity arises. Many of the conscripts attempt to run away into the Siberian forest but are either captured within minutes and made examples of, normally by hanging then beating the corpse and leaving it out to rot and be taken by thee wildlife. Those who do escape into the unforgiving wilderness that is the Siberian forest either die by exposure, the animals of Siberia, or are never heard of again.
A major sits in his quarters, he's been reading reports of sporadic attacks by neighboring forts and cities. Several cities, towns, and villages have all fallen to a new force. They don't know what it is but it's nothing to be worried about. They're only occupied by Slavs and Siberians, the lowest of all humanity, only second to a Hebrew or a Jew. He also heard of reports of the failed invasion of the American continent, he'd wish he was there in order to give his ideas, not in the barren middle of nowhere with these low lives.
From a small hill overlooking the fort, a figure steps forward. She is followed by another figure, this time taller than her. She orders him to stand in front of the main entrance and gives him an order.
In front of the entrance of the fort, a guard sees a large man. He doesn't look like a human, he's tall with horns and wearing an oriental style robe based on the style that of a Japanese shrine maiden, but with a layer of black thrown in, and is more masculine in appearance rather than feminine he carries a staff as well. Nonetheless, the guard trains his rifle at him, the guard spoke out in Russian.
"State your name and purpose!" The guard says.
"I am here to deliver a message. Surrender the fort and all lives will be spared. If not then you will be in the way and will be removed." The figure tells the guard. The guard relays the message to his major. Who responds with a no. He brings the message back to the figure and the figure disappears into the forest.
"What is their response?" She asks her subordinate.
"They said no, general." He responds to her. She sighs.
"So it is then." She throws her coat back making it flutter in the wind. She lifts up her right arm. An arm made of steel and gives out an order.
"FIRE, no." She corrects herself.
"Огонь!"(Ogon'! (Fire!)). Within a mere second, Katyusha rockets begin to sing once again. They strike the fort, destroying the walls and killing several of the defenders inside. After the first barrage, soldiers begin to charge at the fort with a mixture of Mosins or AK-47s. Everyone who isn't dead gets up and throws their hands in the air calling to be spared and surrender in Russian, their native language.
The female figure walks to the ruins of the fort, soldiers kneel on the ground with their hands behind their heads. They're surrounded by soldiers wearing uniforms reminiscent of the Soviet uniforms worn during WW2. The female figure walks and locates the major leading the small garrison, behind the major are also a couple of high-ranking German NCOs and officers.
"Are you the major of this fort?" She asks in German.
"Yes. I am. Are you willing to surrender to us?" he asks her in a sarcastic and superior tone.
"No, that is my question for you."
"Well, how about this. Go fuck yourself you prostitute Slavic whore of a cunt. I know that you people are nothing but the scum of humanity, and there is nothing better than to see people like you die a painful death." He responds. She is taken aback by his choice of words.
"Should have chosen your words more carefully. Fu." She turns her attention to the conscripts, they numbered only less than 80. She speaks to them in Russian.
"I can feel your hatred of this man and these people. Tell you what beat these men, who for far too long treated you as less than human, to death, and I'll allow you to join our forces." She tells them. They stand up, forming fists in their hands.
"What. You can't do this to me, I come from a rich family of the Nazi Reich we have great influence. I won't allow myself to be beaten to death by these things." He tells her.
"Just who are you, you bitch!" He asks her in a more worryingly tone, as the conscripts are slowly closing in on them.
"Simple. The name is general Najenda of the Soviet Peoples Revolutionary Army. Now then boys, they're all yours." She orders the conscripts to attack and so they did. They descended on them, beating them to a bloody pulp. They descended on them with all of their pent-up hatred and range on them. Killing them in a horrible manner, to the point where their faces aren't recognizable anymore, leaving them out in the wilderness to never be seen again. As she walked away her subordinate walks behind her, then one of the conscripts calls out to her.
"General!" She turns around after hearing her rank called out. He begins to have tears in eyes.
"Thank you. Thank you, thank you! We hated this man for years, I loathed this man with all of my heart for separating me and my sister apart. Having her sent off to Berlin for that ice witch, never to be seen again. That same women who killed my father back in Stalingrad. Thank you, general. Let us serve you, for the liberation of Russia and the Soviet peoples!" The conscript cried, she approached him and asked him to stand, and so he did.
"What is your name, conscript?" She asks him.
"Fedor. Fedor Sokolov." He tells his name to Najenda.
"Well then Fedor Sokolov. You can join. Don the new uniform of your fathers, and fight to free your Motherland." She tells him. He thanked her once more, he turns around and begin to shout out, Свободная Россия! (Svobodnaya Rossiya, Free Russia.) Najenda turns around and walks away from the destroyed garrison.
"General. Why wouldn't you have left him alive and bring him with us. I agree to bring in those conscripts into the Army but wouldn't they rebel since they're part of the Nazis?" The tall subordinate asks general Najenda.
"Simple really, Susanoo. I saw it in their eyes fear but longing for death. When I told them to beat those Nazi leaders to death. They relegated them to the same status as he saw them. Without skipping a beat, they jumped to the opportunity. Giving them such option is what also help expand our army. We've expanded greatly and quick time since Magadan. Confusing the Nazis and making sure that everything is okay in their end. When in reality, its not." Najenda explains to Susanoo.
"I see then." Susanoo replies.
"Now then. It's time to head back to the main army camp and report. This is the first step in not only freeing this world, but also ending this world's greatest evil. Esdeath."
Endnote:
In the last segment, play the song Farewell of Slavinka, the Instrumental version or the Red Army is Strongest. I suggest the latter.
Anyways, I hope you liked this chapter because I always had the last segment in mind for a good amount of time.
Please give me your thoughts, comments, suggestions, or concerns as they can help me out.
Please refer back to chapter six and three if your confused on what the the conscript told Najenda.
The next chapter may involve going back in time and exploring the origins of everyone and where they come from. Except for Esdeath and the non-imperial arms users of Night hunters of course. So it may take two to four chapters. I have an idea to make the first two chapters being like a profile report and the imperial arms users, while the last two maybe the same but for the New Jagers. But I will have a story continuing on with these events.
See you next week on
Kill The World Order.
