Author's note:
Welcome back. This is part one of a four-part series. The next couple of chapters will mostly cover the origins of our main imperial arms users, and later the New Jaegers. Two chapters for each. So think of the next couple of chapters as an intermittence between the next chapter. The next chapter coming soon shortly.
M for Potentially a lot of reading and for language or terms.

Atlantic Ocean
After flying for a couple more hours, the Night Hunters officially landed on the secondary main carrier for the Northern Fleet. After settling down and waiting for time to pass by they grab their own quarters that weren't already taken by other army units or seamen. They were able to have two rooms in the carrier for the enlisted, with bunk beds and warrant officers. The officers were able to find two unoccupied quarters, for officers to get their own rooms. The carrier itself has an army service member majority but many of its staff and captain are of the navy. The carrier is a helicopter carrier, the first of its kind, with the top covered with two Sikorsky H-34, and over fifteen Bell UH-1 Iroquois aka Huey's, with ten being troop transportation, three outfitted with heavy armaments to become gunships, and one medical Huey.
After eating a fulfilling meal in the mess halls, Anderson goes into his quarters. His quarters remain to the navy tradition of separating the officers from the enlisted in a strict hierarchy.
In the officers' quarters area, Cpt. Anderson sits in his room with the briefcase given to him by Col. Reeds. Thankfully Reeds is away at the moment making sure to keep everyone in the Night Hunters in check but will think that he'll come down any moment. He doesn't mind if he's caught or not. He opens the briefcase and inspects its contents. Battle plans, maps, and a few CIA dossiers with the mark Classified, on the cover of the envelope folder. (The one with the string that you twist at the back)
"What's this? CIA dossier? Thankfully I have clearance for this." He opens the first folder. Another file, he opens it. It's a single sheet of paper with the logo of the CIA and under the logo, it is stated BIO in red. He lifts over the cover page and sees a familiar setting, it's a biography of the Imperial Arms members of his team. On the back of the cover page reads a small description.
For Top Secret Clearance Only
The people you'll read about have these foreign-made weapons and equipment called "Imperial Arms".
Their creation is still unknown to us at this time and most of their properties have been tested.
Only its current users listed below are able to control such weapons and equipment.
Beforehand he was thrown into the dark about the imperial arms wielders of his team but now he gets an opportunity to read more about them. He reads the first page. It's Akame's file with her picture on the right-hand side and a CIA watermark on top.

"Imperial Arms": Murusame (Japanese Katana)
Akame's place of birth is unknown. Found in a small town in the state of New Jersey in October 1962, hiding out in secret in the forest subsiding off of the wild game of deer, rabbit, and other small game. Reports have surfaced of a couple of young hunters who went out to the forest and never returned. Their bodies were soon found with a single cut mark, autopsy reports a black mark written in a Japanese character tattooed on the heart. After over a month in hiding and couple more hunters turning up dead, locals in the area marked off the area as the Jersey Devil's home.
Akame was found in late January 1963 by multiple task forces implemented by the FBI to inspect the area. A skirmish broke out and she was captured, the weapon was confiscated, fifteen agents died on the field. Autopsy reports concluded with the same cause of death and the same Japanese character tattooed on the heart. She was questioned about the deaths and how they came to be. She revealed her weapon, named Murasame, a Japanese-style katana. It has the ability to kill its target after a small slice, killing its victim with a curse that stops the heart. The weapon in question is styled after a Japanese katana. Questioned about the deaths she explained that she believes it was mercenaries sent to hunt her for "destroying the Empire". Her past and heritage remain inconclusive as the majority is made up, but the previous occupation of an assassin. An Army officer offered her a choice, to join a selected task force in early February 1963. She accepted the offer and is fit for service. After reviling her abilities and athleticism allowed waver Army basic training and quickly went through US Army Jump School.
"Holy shit, that is interesting, to say the least." Anderson reacts to Akame's profile. Probably after reading the rest he may prod a few questions about their past because if anything the CIA is good at, it is finding out the past of unknown people. Probably after reading through everyone else's then he can ask about the past and see if they're all collected in the same narrative. He flipped to the next page and seeing another figure, Mine, having the same formatting.

"Imperial Arms": Pumpkin (Multi-purpose rifle)
Mine was found outside the city of Pittsburg Pennsylvania November 1962. Local police received reports of a young adult in pink carrying a suspiciously large briefcase. She was promptly arrested and her weapon confiscated. Several of the local officers reported feeling extreme tiredness and severe migraines and headaches from the weapon when attempting to use it. She has no previous historical record, no biological reports either. The FBI found interest in her and the weapon.
The weapon in question is a type of unknown rifle that is customizable for long-range, machine gun, and or sniper configurations. The weapon has no visible location for ammunition to be located. Mine was questioned about the rifle, claiming the name of the rifle is "Pumpkin", and uses a type of spiritual bolts and that power is amplified by the user. To this day no other person other than Mine is able to use "Pumpkin" and no attempts were made to replicate it. Mine and her armament were later transferred to the CIA for study. An Army colonel presented Mine with an offer in February 1963. She promptly accepted it and was able to waver the Basic Training need for to be a soldier presenting her marksmanship ability.
Another inconclusive past that the CIA couldn't scrounge up, Anderson said to himself. Mine's bio report isn't interesting as the last but nonetheless revealed how she appeared. He flipped to the next page and saw the next bio report. It was Wave's profile.
"I wonder how he got himself in here." Anderson speaks to himself.

"Imperial Arms": Grand Chariot (2nd generation suit of armor with sword)
Wave first appeared outside of Michigan City in October 1962. He treated and intermingled well with the local population. That is until in the same month he got into a fight with a couple of off-duty Navy enlisted, with the latter calling him "stolen valor" after they overheard a conversation about him serving the "Imperial Navy". A brawl ensued with Wave using his sword to end the fight. A shout of the words "Grand Chariot" was heard and smoke appeared. As the smoke dissipated he ran. Shortly after the incident reports begin to surface about a man wearing a dark blue suit of armor. FBI agents were soon dispatched and locals gave an exact description, young adult, nearly 6', tan, male, blue eyes.
Wave was later found in early January 1963 by FBI agents. This correlated with the first sightings of Tatsumi, the Nazi Dragon Knight appearing in Europe. He came into custody that same month and then soon transferred to the CIA as an asset and to test the likeness and ability of Tatsumi. As Wave had testified that his "Imperial Arms" is the next generation of Tatsumi's own. An Army colonel presented an offer in February 1963. To serve the United States in a task force. He promptly accepted the offer. As of March 1963, no details of his past have been uncovered. His weapon contains the spirit of a "danger beast" within it, named "Grand Chariot". Once upon activation, the user is enveloped in a dark blue armor that enhances their ability, with a powerful move called "Grand Fall".
Anderson read Wave's file. He did rationalize that if he saw someone claiming to be a veteran, he'd to also would fight him. Anderson flipped to the next page of the dossier. It was Kurome's. As of now, no one has come to check upon him. Probably they're all enjoying something. The announcement comes on.
"Attention everyone, this is your captain speaking. For tonight's entertainment, we'll be screening the movie The Guns of Navarone on the top deck at 2010 hours. So be there and grab the best seats. Thank you and enjoy the film." The captain ends the announcement. Anderson he isn't a big movie fan does occasionally watch them. But is engaged to keep on reading through these files.

"Imperial Arms": Yatsufusa (Japanese Katana)
Kurome was first encountered by CIA agents sent into Northern Appalachia in Pennsylvania to investigate locals reporting multiple not deer sightings and disappearances in early February 1963. Several CIA agents were killed in the ensuing attack. She swiftly came under CIA custody and was questioned about her involvement. She claims to have no knowledge of the world or her surroundings, claiming to be from another world. Later DNA and biotest concluded that she isn't of this world, DNA makeup isn't the same as normal Humans. Her past remains inconclusive but did reveal a location she hid in Appalachia a few weeks ago. Her DNA does match similarly to another, NH-001 (Akame).
Tests were made on her weapon, a Japanese-style katana, named Yatsufusa. The weapon has a special property that only the user, NH-004, is allowed to activate. When active it can summon multiple corpses as "pawns" with the user being able to control them. At the first testing stage a total of eight corpses were seen, two unknown individuals a male and a female, and six CIA agents that were killed. It was revealed that the user loses energy when one is released but gains it back later on. Kurome was visited by an Army colonel in early March to join a task force. She accepted it and cleared for service. Due to superior athleticism and agility, she wavered the mandatory basic training for all army soldiers.
"Huh. Not only is this sword powerful, but also seems to be a fate worse than death." Anderson thought to himself. He had already seen multiple times of her and the "Imperial Arms" but never gave it much thought. Possibly more questions to prod them on the two unnamed individuals she has in the sword. He does remember when first seeing the blade, it gave an awful aura that not even he wants to get near but as time passed, he warmed up to the blade. Seeing it as a nice sword. He does notice a lot of cheering up above on the deck. They seem to be happy. He hears footsteps walking close to the door. Anderson neatly and swiftly puts all of the files away. As he turns around. He sees Col. Reeds, Anderson stands at attention.
"Good evening colonel. Are you enjoying the movie?"
"At ease. Yes, I thought it might be a good suggestion for them to watch it? You're not coming?" Reeds replies.
"No, I'm not a big movie fan colonel. Please go enjoy the movie." Anderson insistently tells Reeds.
"Alright. The movie itself is getting pretty good. They got free popcorn on the deck. Come you should watch it."
"For the last time. I'm fine. Just go and enjoy. I got some strategizing to do for the next mission."
"That's my job. But alright your loss. Oh and also, I don't think I've mentioned this but if you have the chance, I'm giving you the authorization of the contents in that briefcase. That's all. " Reeds leaves the room.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Anderson mumbles to himself. Anderson returns to what he was doing. He flips past the first few pages and sees the next entry, Lubbock.

"Imperial Arms": Cross Tail (Metal Spool with special gloves)
Lubbock was found in the borough of Manhattan in New York City in December 1962. Due to having natural green hair color and residents calling 911 on a young adult who appears homeless with green hair. He evaded multiple police presence with the usage of a tool that he's able to freely manipulate and control to a great degree. After a great deal of searching and bribery on promises, Lubbock soon came into FBI custody in late February and was transferred to the CIA after interests were raised in his equipment. One he dubbed "Cross Tail". The equipment in question is a large spool of metal wire that follows the command of its user, with an accessor of specialized gloves being used to control it.
Demonstrations were conducted with "Cross Tail", able to be used in multiple ways. An Army colonel offered Lubbock to join a specialized task force. He promptly accepted the offer and with the equipment that only he has the ability to control, he's able to skip Army training.
"Well this one is least interesting but it's interesting how these people managed to evade capture for so long. Just how good are these guys?" Anderson spoke to himself. Anderson begins to flip to the next page of the list. He sees Tatsumi's profile next.

"Imperial Arms": Incursio (1st generation suit of armor with sword)
Tatsumi's origins are still unknown. Current information from states that he first appeared in Europe around September or October 1962. His first official appearance came from November 1962 after multiple reports came from contacts about a new "figure" of the Nazi that appeared in west Russia, Balkans, and France. Subsequent reports follow accounting for the same individual. He was currently top target by the US to capture or neutralize.
After the battle of New York on March 31 1963 he was captured and in CIA custody. Due to his experience, an Army colonel offered Tatsumi to join a task force that now has one main objective. To remove the Nazi's own General Esdeath from power. As of April 1963, he is currently under American custody. His weapon is a medieval-styled sword that contains what is called a "Danger Beast". Upon activation, the user will be enveloped by armor and equipped with a spear, and their strengths and powers are increased.
"Not much here, let's read some more." Anderson flips to the next page. Sheele's profile.

"Imperial Arms": Extase (Large pair of scissors)
Sheele was first encountered outside the city of Sydney Nova Scotia on April 4, 1963, by several US Army soldiers after witnessing several bodies of Nazi soldiers being sliced in half. 95% of those who witnessed Sheele either died from enemy gunfire or were killed by Sheele in justifiable self-defense. A member of a clandestine US Task Force: NH, encountered her in the forest twenty-five miles away from Sydney, Nova Scotia. After a brief confrontation, she swiftly came under US custody.
While in custody Sheele explained about her past, and her weapon named "Extase". She claims that she only existed in this world for about a year and two months. This can be backed up with the absence of a birth certificate or medical records. The weapon itself is a pair of scissors that is the same height as the user. The weapon itself is able to cut through any known matter known to man, no matter how durable or strong it is. Can be used both offensively and defensively. Though its size is big the weapon is extremely lightweight. An Army colonel offered her an offer for a task force. Due to training as an assassin, Sheele is able to waver Army basic training.
Anderson merely chuckled at the first paragraph because he knows all to well that match between him and he was mostly lopsided but in the end, managed to live. Possibly she might give greater detail to her compatriots probably give greater detail himself about the mission in Canada. He flips to the last page which depicts Chelsea.

Languages: English, French, German, unknown language
"Imperial Arms": Gaea Foundation (Makeup box)
Chelsea was first found outside the city of Lyon after a failed attempt in rebelling against the Vichy government by rebelling French partisans two months ago in February 1963. Furthermore many of the partisan defenders either died or surrendered to Esdeath and Tatsumi. Chelsea, under the name Jeanne, turned over the footage towards an Army colonel who offered her to join a task force to help put an end to Esdeath. Due to her massive connection network, intelligence became heavily reliable throughout the Western European continent. Due to her experience in assassinations, espionage, and the ability from her equipment to transform, she'll be a valuable asset in any situation.
The equipment in question is a makeup box that is able to transform the user into any type of living being they'd wish. Adopting some of its abilities for the user, an example is that of a bird, they can have the ability of flight, a dog then the ability to run fast, etc. Has no battlefield usage but is great for espionage. How it works is still unknown. But recent tests showed that it can even transform items that the user wishes to change, but the properties of it remain, for example, a ball turned into a rifle, won't actually be able to function as an actual rifle.
"So she wasn't lying about that marriage. Oh well." Anderson flips to the next page. Its the end of the dossier. He closes up and places the dossier in the back to its place in the briefcase and takes out the plans for their next mission in British isles. They're about a week to ten days journey from Britain. He has to consult both Chelsea and SFC. Johnson about the intelligence to make sure that all is in order. But he'll ask later in the morning after breakfast and morning PT.

Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Vichy France
The 13th Waffen Mountain Davison of the SS Handschar and a third of the Free Arabian Legion SS have announced their defection and rebellion in Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Vichy France, pledging to support the Free French Forces. Their motives are still unknown but it's speculated that both units have been mistreated and discriminated against for being uneducated animals from the mountains or the desert. For the Bosnian majority of the Handschar, they were seen as hill people who adopted Islam as a means of convenience. The Croat population of the Handscar, though Catholic, didn't rebel fearing the dire consequences ahead, especially with the fall of the Vatican. But several of them still joined with the Bosnians after the fall of the Vatican, hoping to kill Esdeath in revenge for ending their church. A couple of the Imams attempted to reason with the mutineers, several of the ones who weren't steadfastly relegated and switched sides. But the majority did hold firm.
For the third of the Free Arabian Legion SS, they to felt the same pain as their Bosnian Muslim brothers, being seen as less than human and being treated as such by their German officers and NCOs. Those who rebelled numbered 15,000, while the city's partisans supported them with five hundred extra defenders. Those who didn't number at 17,000 altogether but without experienced officers and NCOs. Now they all need to do is hold the city, the German officers and high-ranking NCOs have also been locked up, to be used as a bargaining chip.

Esdeath was in the area. Ordered by the Fuhrer to put down this mutiny and so they make their march, linking up with the rest of her army and those who didn't defect.
She links up with the 17,000 who didn't defect or defected back to the non-defectors. Either way, she allows her Jager group to move in first. Seryu orders Koro to eat as much as he wants of the evildoers.
April 18, 1963
0630
The battle of Villefranche-de-Rouergue ended swiftly. Of the city's 15,500 defenders and mutineers, only less than 1,000 remained. The city's civilian population remained mostly unharmed. Mostly. About fifty-five percent of the city's population died.
"Ah." Esdeath said in disgust.
"I've seen better mutinies than this mess." Esdeath muttered to herself.
"Madam. Only 1,000 of the evil-doers remain." Seryu salutes Esdeath.
"What shall we do with them?" Run asks Esdeath.
"I was going to have them killed. But that will be too good for them. Why not bring them back to Germany and "experiment" with them. Dr. Stylish needs something to work on same with Dorothea." Esdeath tells the two. A couple of more of her Jagers approach her.
"Well then." Esdeath stands up. She turns around and sees her soldiers.
"My soldiers. I know it has been a tough two weeks, but we've brought glory and stability back to the Fatherland. Once we regain our strength, then our Nazi Fatherland will retake its place on the world stage. Taking out the weak and killing those who mocked him and spilled the blood of his children on foreign soil. Trust me. We will take back our lost glory and our honor. Soon it will be time for total war. Sieg!" Esdeath her speech.
"HEIL!" Her soldiers repeat thrice over.
"Madam. What are we going to do with the dead and captured enemies?"
"I've read this world's sacred books. The Bible and the Quran. Burn the corpses of the enemy. Make sure they're all ash so that God, or Allah as they call him, won't be able to bring them to paradise. If they don't burn, then leave them as feed for the wolves or pigs. As for the living, give them a steady diet of pork and alcohol. Make sure they consume it all."
"Why such lavish meals?" Run asks.
"Because. They see such meals as unclean. Doing so will break them. Trust me, once they're broken, then nothing will fix them back. Only we can build them back up into our own image. Now then, time to head back home. Esdeath begins the order to march back to the Fatherland victoriously.

I hope you all liked this chapter. After doing research I made it out into a CIA-like template.
The next chapter would still cover our users but will be expanded more on the background. Hopefully, I can get out either by Friday or Saturday. Please leave me some comments about this, comments, suggestions, criticism, etc. are well appreciated.
Thank you and see you then on,
