Authors note: No Flandre tis chapter, sorry, but that next chapter. istead we're going caving!

On a different note, I have basically everything in my head for future events except for one thing. Shepard. I still haven't decided whether he'll be human, youkai, Lunarian, a magician, or if a touhou character will take his/her place. So to help decide I've made up a poll that asks that exact question. It is on my profile page so please throw your answer on it when you can. (Poll will not show on mobile unless you are in desktop mode when you go to my profile page.)

Enjoy the chapter!

Keine Kamishirasawa Ran through the empty streets of Xi'an, worry powering her steps and speed completely on their own as she charged ahead.

She should have been, and had just been, at the Scarlet Devil Mansion that sat inside Xi'an. Normally it acted as a summer home for the Scarlets and had been before the notice of possible invasion. When the public was told the situation and Xi'an Began to prepare for the impending attack, Flandre Scarlet who had been using the summer home, Came to Keine while she was meeting with other teachers on Xi'an to figure out what to do. she had graciously offered to have The Scarlet Summer home act as a place for all the Cities children and teachers to stay, both for safety, and to allow them a sense of normalcy within its walls.

It was common knowledge to most people that any place the Scarlet sisters were willing to stay would be nearly impervious to attack, and the fact that their summer home had been heavily enchanted by their own power, and those of Patchouli knowledge, meant that the walls would not fall to anything less than a true cataclysm.

Keine and the Teachers of Xi'an Accepted immediately without even a second thought!

In the past there would have been worries, second thoughts, and serious complaints, but that was the past, and Flandre was not the insane child she once was. And Keine knew her well enough to know that Flandre was doing this for both of their sakes. The children would be kept safe, and if any aliens came to call they would end up on the end of her sword, or battered and beaten down by Meiling, who had come with Flandre to the summer home.

The moving of each of Xi'an's three schools children was a complicated and slow process, but had been finished right before alien ships had been located in the system. It had been cut close, but everyone had been brought to the summer home, Rooms had been divvied out to everyone, and a schedule set up so everyone could have a relatively normal time, while outside the fighting would continue. it had been good for the first few hours as well, Keine couldn't even hear the noise from inside the summer home as she taught, and the only thing that even made it clear there was a war going on was the fact that she could see smoke out some of the windows, or would occasionally see flashes from gunfire, magic or explosions.

Then, as the last class of the day began and she looked over her class she noticed one student, by the name of Kaiden, was missing. The rest of the class was initially tight lipped, but the threat of additional homework, detention and no magical studies or Phys Ed finally loosened their lips. The missing student in question had forgotten his homework at home, so had left to go get it. under normal circumstances Keine would be annoyed, yet impressed by his willingness to go and get it, instead of just saying he forgot like so many did. But it was a literal warzone outside of the Scarlet summer home, and the thought of him being captured by the invading aliens and experimented on was far too much for Keine to even think about staying still. Once she had gotten another teacher to cover her class, she bolted out of the summer home, leapt right over its outer gate and into the city.

Keine and the other teachers all agreed that they would ignore any information about the wars progress unless it was someone coming and informing them of its end, in the hopes that they would not worry the children. This meant that she had no knowledge on what the situation was officially like. This did not mean however, that she could not gain a quick understanding of the situation from the sounds and sights around her.

The sounds of Laser fire could be heard in the distance like the hum of machinery, telling her that the Barriers built closest to them, part of the second defence line, had not yet fallen or fallen back. The fact that she could see some amounts of smoke, and could not hear laser fire or the sound of magic from further to the cities edge however, meant that either the first line had fallen, or was in the middle of falling back.

She had to hurry, the last thing she wanted was Aliens finding and capturing one of the children she had sworn to protect!

"Dam, this is not going as well." Saren muttered as he peeked out from behind the side of a building. Down the road was an Alien barrier like the one the cabals had already helped break past once, but this one was different. The first barrier had been nearly three meters tall, and had only three gun emplacements upon it. This barrier however, covered a roadway twice as wide, and was nearly seven meters tall. No less than twelve emplacements had been reported by the scout who looked over the fortifications, and when they had looked over the streets and areas around it, they found alleyways and side streets blocked off, mined, and trapped so heavily that only one scout returned to report the situation.

The scout had figured that the emplacements on this barrier were the same as past emplacements, but when the main force decided to go ahead with a frontal attack, led by Turian Armour, the offence was quickly turned on its head. Like the previous barrier it had many of the strange 'laser cannons' as the Turians had taken to calling them. They fired dozens of red shots that simply ignored their barriers by the second, and their firing area seemed to be set in a cone, saturation a large area with such inaccurate but dangerous fire. Then there were the beams guns they had used against them once already. Their kinetic barriers could block these, if for a second. After that the beam would cut right through any infantry in its path, and over time even vehicle armour was not safe.

What truly upset the Turian forces advance however, was the third type of emplacement that sat on the barrier. Its gun was large, easily as large as an air car. Bolted into the barrier itself, the emplacement looked like someone had welded two mass relays together, only instead of glowing blue in the centre, it glowed a sickening green. The 'gun' slowly turned toward the Turian armours location, pointing seemingly at the ground and not at a Jiris. The Glowing center of the gun began vibrating, pulsing, and then it fired, a massive blast of green energy flying out of it. The prongs of the gun began to glow instantly as green energy arced off them as the shot went past them and the shot flew perfectly straight into the ground, and every Turian that was further away realized why it hadn't targeted a Jiris directly.

It didn't need to.

The blast was not an explosion like a rocket or missile, but a massive unfolding wave of energy and electricity. It coated nearly the entire width of the street in a second, flash heating any jiris near it as the electrical surge burned through their systems. jiris tanks exploded, went critical, melted on the spot, or simply stopped working, and any infantryman near them was killed intensity, burned into piled of char and slag.

Once the weapon had fired once it seemed to go into a low power mode, allowing the prongs of its gun to cool. The damage it had dealt however made the Turian force very wary of nearing even close to the barrier, and after some quick communications with other forces, it became clear that every barrier had one of these massive and horrifying guns.

"Not going well is an understatement." Another cabal said with a sigh as he aimed at the barrier with a sniper rifle, letting his shot loose only to swear under his breath a second later.

A sudden screeching roared above them as a Turian Fighter soared over head, firing a pair of missiles at the barrier. The missiles stuck it right in the centre of the barrier, but had done little damage to it on its own. It was the third airstrike against the barrier, and each had done no better than the last, as if something was jamming their missiles targeting ability.

As the Fighter flew up into the air an turned to get some distance from the barrier, a barrage of yellow colored bolts flew through the air from someplace behind the barrier. One shot clipped the fighters wing, producing a long trail of smoke, but it did manage to get away and head for the airfield that likely sat at the Turian Landing zone.

"Dam AA is making it difficult for the fighters." Saren said grimly as he glanced around. All the buildings around them were made of solid stone, making them defence able cover at distance, but there was no cover closer to the barrier. The entire road was a kill zone for its emplacements including its massive 'overkill gun*' as all the soldiers had taken to calling it. "We need a different option, a different path, or at least some way to flank them and gain an advantage. Perhaps the scouts missed something?"

"Perhaps they did," the captain of the cabal squad said as he walked over. Normally everyone would salute his presence but with the battle line so close to them, and everyone nervous about the massive gun, no one saluted and the captain was not put off about it. "We've got new orders. We'll be going off on our own. We are to find any way to get past that barrier. Anything goes."

This made every cabal grip their weapons tightly with a smile, they were going to do what cabals did best. Get the job done!

"When do we move?" Saren asked calmly.

"Now; we'll split onto four groups of three each. We'll spread out over this area. Look for anything of use, enemy locations, weapon variety, troop composition, anything. If you can get around and attack a barrier without compromising you do so, but information if more essential at this moment. Let's move!"

Nearly half an hour later, Saren and two other cabals were moving down a length of roadway weapons up and ready for anything. They hadn't encountered any of the aliens anywhere but the barriers, but they were not about to be caught unaware. The more they moved through the city, the stranger if felt to them, like something or someone was watching them at all times. The only things around them were buildings and the occasional yellow flowering plant, nearly as tall as they were. It was unnerving.

"I see movement ahead." a cabal said quietly as he pressed his body against a wall and pointed down a shallow hill. At the bottom of the hill, something went into a building. Saren hadn't gotten a good look at it, but it was small, smaller than a vorcha.

"Let's check it out." Saren said as all three of them stealthily moved toward the building. Just before arriving they saw the creature in question come out of the building. It looked like a tiny Asari, similar in size to the aliens that had supposedly been in the forest, but had no wings. It had brown colored fur on its head, and held something in its hands. It looked like a child possibly, but considering the aliens in the forest had looked like children, they were not about to lower their weapons.

"Don't move! Put your, hands in the air!" one cabal demanded, for a second unsure if the alien had hands until he saw them himself. They were like an Asari's as well, five fingered, and holding what looked to be some kind of package.

The alien turned to them, looking at them with fear through green eyes that reminded them even more of an Asari. These aliens, if this was one of their young, looked so similar to an Asari it was actually unnerving. The alien was completely still as if frozen in fear, then it took a step backwards, then another, and another.

"Do not move. Stop or we shoot." Saren said carefully, showing the alien an open hand to try to get his message across.

In response, the alien turned and began running away as fast as its small legs would carry it, yelling and screaming something unintelligible as it ran.

"Dammit, don't shoot, we can catch it for information!" one cabal said as he ran after the alien. The other and Saren followed, silently agreeing with him. If the alien was a child, running some simple scans could provide them with a great amount of information on these aliens, and if worse came to worse, they could use it as a bargaining chip to make the aliens surrender, though they would need more than just one child for such a tactic. At the very least it could cause a disparity among the aliens themselves when one of their young was captured, and as long as they treated it well, they would look good for protecting an innocent from harm when its own kind could not.

One thing confused Saren as he ran though. They hadn't found any aliens except at the barriers, so where had this young alien come from? Was there a place they were staying? Did the aliens have some form of transport under the city? Sewers or tunnels perhaps? It hadn't occurred to him until then, but that could be a way to get around the barriers! First though they need to catch the small alien. It could be the first alien to be part of a safe camp*.

The alien ran around a corner and disappeared from sight, but quickly let out a scream. It was unclear why, until the three of them turned the corner and found the alien on the ground, and a squad of Truians standing on front of it.

"Saren?!" one Turian asked in surprise, Making Saren look up to see his brother standing before him.

"Desolas, what are you doing here?"

"Our force has been tasked with investigating a large building near here," Desolas answered quickly as he glanced down to the alien, now looking up at them all with an expresio nthat could only be fear. "Were you ordered to-"

"Our cabal was ordered to try to look for information on how to get past a barrier," Saren answered quickly. " When we were looking we me across this alien, we think it's a child, so were trying to catch it to find more about these aliens and get it to a safe camp."

"A child? You were trying to capture and interrogate a child?" Desolas asked in surprise, his voice tinted with anger.

"Don't give me that Desolas," Saren said as he pointed down at the alien. "The more we know about these aliens the Better it will be for them when they become a client race of the Hierarchy!"

"That is not-" Desolas began to say, until a new voice called out, sounding full of fear and relief.

Everyone turned to the source of the new voice, weapons ready, and found another alien standing nearby, at the edge of a building. The alien was female; if the shape of its body being like an Asari's was anything go by. It wore a long green dress, and had fur from its head hanging down to nearly its legs, also green. Two horns came out of its head, and its red eyes looked only at the alien between them as she spoke in a language they could not understand.

The young alien immediately got up and ran over to the female alien, who crouched down and caught the younger aliens charging hug with her whole body , holding its back and head as it appeared to cry against her form.

Saren and Desolas looked at each other, and Saren quickly took a step toward the two aliens, leveling his gun at them. "Stand up and do not move! You are coming with us, understand?"

The alien female looked up at Saren, then back down at the child and said something. As she stood up the child circled around behind her, and clung to her leg for a few seconds before turning and running down the street behind her.

"the kids getting away!" one cabal exclaimed as he took a step forward, stopping when the alien woman Raised both of her arms up to her sides and glared at them. "She's blocking us. What is she going to do, stare us to death?"

"Enough, one alien is as good as another for study." Saren said, making Desolas sneer at his words. "You are coming with us, do you understand me?" Saren asked carefully. The alien woman looked at them, glaring like an Asari huntress would. She had no weapons on her though, so what danger could she really be? "Tie her arms up and we'll take her back to the forward camp outside the city. a full grown alien will have more information to give us."

Another cabal moved to do just that, and the alien woman did not move, at least until the cabal was within striking distance. As he reached for her arms, they shot up and grabbed the Turians, then to everyone surprise the alien woman threw his arms to the side and copied the Krogan, slamming her head into the Turians own! The Turian stood for a second before falling backwards onto the road as she let go of him, and immediately the other cabal moved forward and looked him over, then pointed his gun at the alien woman. "He's dead, she killed him, with her head!"

As soon as the words left him, every Turian moved to raise their weapons, but the female was already moving. With a speed that her body did not show, she closed the distance with the second cabal and swung a leg up against the side of his body as he tried to stand. her kick struck him right I nthe side, and with a sickening crack he was sent tumbling down the street. Following through on her motions her then crouched down and sprinted at the nearest Turian, one of Desolas's people, and tackled them backwards into the group, knocking nearly everyone down before she leapt backwards, increasing the distance between them as easily as she closed it.

Saren roared as he pulled the trigger on his gun, all the aliens' motions taking barely a second, and shocking everyone that hadn't been hit. His gun fired instantly, toward the alien, but with a strange agility she began back stepping and held up a hand, an off barrier forming in front of her and blocking all of his bullets as she further increased the distance between them.

As she neared the end of the street she leapt into the air and the barrier in front of her disappeared as she threw both of her arms in front of her, palms open. Immediately a swarm of blue and green balls appeared and pulsed out, forming a beautiful if terrifyingly effective barrage that landed all around them. The barrage did not break any of the street or buildings when they stuck, but every Turian hit felt as if they had been tackle by as Krogan as the shot sent them flailing backwards. From striking the ground so rapidly, a massive dust cloud formed around them as everyone fell, but quickly dissipated as the strange attacks stopped, and the alien was nowhere to be seen.

" What, what the spirits was that!" one of Desolas's people said in shock and disbelief. "she looked like an Asari, head-butts like a Krogan, kicks like an assassin and fired concussion shots like shotgun blasts from her hands!?"

"Yeah, that was impossible." Another said in shock as she got up.

"How many are hurt? what's our injured and dead like?" Desolas asked quickly as he walked over and helped his brother up off the ground.

"impossible. These aliens, their monsters!" Saren declared as he was helped up.

"No, we just don't know what they are capable of." Desolsas countered as he looked around, seeing that the aliens strange attack hadn't effected the area around them at all. "I wonder what that was, it put us out completely. Imagine what we could do with such a capability!"

"Bah, worthless savage technology," Saren said with a wave as he clutched his shoulder a bit and looked at the two cabal on the ground, neither of them moving at all. "I swear these aliens will regret resisting the hierarchy once this is over!"

Desolas sighed as Orinia walked over. "Two casualties, five wounded, mostly brushing and a couple broken bones from that weird attack." Orinia said as she glanced at the two dead cabal. "The two casualties."

"Dam, did that alien kill them and leave us fine intentionally, or was it just how it happened I wonder. They didn't even have a chance to use their biotics." Desolas said quietly as he looked back to his brother. "Saren, we should-"

"No, I'll head back to my Cabal. Inform them of our losses." Saren said as he walked over to the two dead cabal members and pulled their identity plates out of their armor. "I'll head back to the base camp on my own once I've done that." He then added as he clutched at his right shoulder, clearly in pain as he began walking down the street, limping as he did.

"Do you need some-"

"No, I'm going alone. I don't need your help!" Saren barked as he walked off.

"Is that alright?" Orinia asked after a moment of silence.

"It's fine. My brother is very . . . he's a good Turian but he despises having help given to him. He wants to be the one to give help, not take it."

"I meant him going off on his own. He may be a biotic, but he's obviously wounded, and alone, in a City we are besieging!"

Desolas looked at Orinia for a moment and nodded, understanding what she was getting at. "Send our wounded with an escort to head back to the base to get medical attention. My brother will be fine though, and sending people to follow him would just anger him more."

Orinia turned and began giving orders, allowing Desolas a moment to look over the body of the first cabal that been killed, killed by a head-butt. Getting head-butted by a Krogan was one thing that few races wanted to do. Krogans had thick skulls and had natural plates on their heads that were sturdy and strong. The alien that had head-butted him however, had horns on the side of her head, but otherwise looked like an Asari, with no other points of interest on her body, at least that would be physically dangerous. So when Desolas looked at the cabals head, and saw him bleeding from his eyes and nose it was quiet a surprise that one head-butt from the alien could cause so much trauma.

Then Desolas looked at the other cabal and was surprised again. The side of his torso was devastated, His armor bent and buckled and leaking blue blood from between the cracks. a quick scan told him that nearly every bone in his side was broken. His neck was broken as well, likely done when he tumbled across the ground from being kicked by the alien's long smooth leg.

Desolas stopped for a second and shook his head. Thoughts of the alien female's body were seeping into his head, which was more than a bit ridiculous. Races normally felt attraction only to their own species, the only exception were the Asari, likely because they could mate with any race and were attractive to all other races ideas of beauty. Were these aliens more similar to the Asari than he initially thought?

"Sir, our wounded are heading out, but before we move on, there's something I think you should know."

Desolas pushed his wayward thoughts out of his head and turned to Orinia, nodding for her to continue.

"I had put my Omni tool into passive scanning mode when we came into the city, in the hopes it would pick something up. When that Alien attacked us with those blasts as it ran, it seems my Omni tool picked it up. The attacks it hit us with were the same as those flying Aliens in the frest had used, albeit the energy rating was a magnitude stronger."

". . .you're saying that the attack we just witnessed was the same those flying aliens used. So they are related?"

"Possibly. I'm thinking maybe it's an environmental ability, like how the Asari are all biotics."

"Then why have none of them used such abilities at the barriers?"

"I think they have sir. The flying aliens attacks were small and of varied colors, that aliens also were of varied colors, but were much larger. I believe they may have been simply more powerful, and if this entire race all has such an ability; much of the attacks hitting our people may not even be actual weapons fire, but their equivalent to biotics."

" By the spirits," Desolas said with a sigh, as a sudden realization kicked in. if that woman was powerful enough to kill two cabals with her bare hands, and wounded others with one simple attack, were these aliens even using their full strength against them? "Contact Oraka and tell him what we've just seen. The rest of our forces need to know not to engage these aliens in melee if at all possible!"

"Yes, I've already been writing the message, it will be sent in a moment. There is one other thing though . . ."

"And it is?"

"We're being followed."

"By?"

"Well . . . that furry creature we saw in the forest I think. I keep catching glimpses of it. When the alien woman attack I thought I saw her glance to the side, and when I looked where I thought she did, I saw that fuzzy creature again."

Desolas was quiet as he glanced around for a few seconds, then catching sight of the exact same creature at the edge of a building down the street, before it dicked behind it out of sight. "You think its coincidence maybe? The creature could just be curious and followed us perhaps?"

"Maybe, but I have this feeling that it is why that alien did not kill any more than she did. Maybe that creature is curious, but I think maybe it's some kind of folk animal for these people or something."

"The aliens appear to have brought in artillery alongside their air forces. The second line is reporting indirect fire on them. Three barriers have lost their Vajra's to indirect fire and air attacks." Yuuka said casually as he tapped the screen before her in Xi'an's combat centre.

"Dam, those things are expensive!" Williams stated, before adding as an afterthought, "Though we did just rip them from the cruisers that were stationed here."

"The cruisers suggested we do it in the first place. The Vajra guns don't fire well in atmosphere, but they deal massive damage. They've taken out many alien units already. Losing a couple of them at this stage wont-"Yuka stopped for a second as she grimaced. "Won't make much of a difference."

Williams looked at Yuuka with a worried gaze "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Yuuka stated in a powerful tone as she tapped the panel a few more times. "the aliens seem to be focusing their artillery fire on specific barriers. the others either-" Yuuka stopped and grimaced again, going so far as to shut her eyes for a moment "-cannot be hit, or will be hit later, I think."

Williams then noticed that Yuuka seemed to be breathing heavily. "Yuuka, has your-" Williams stopped speaking as he thought he heard something, then focused his attention to his ears for a second, hearing the sound of dripping water. "-water broke!" He then finished in realization, fear, wonder, and shock.

Yuuka looked at Williams for a second and nodded. "Just a moment ago." she finally admitted. "the contractions have started."

"Why did you not say soemthign! we need to get you to your room!"

"No, its fine!" Yuuka insisted as she continued to tap at the panel." I am still needed here, and if I go, my sunflowers will stop-" she took a slight pained breath "-shooting at the aliens aircraft.

Williams stood and looked at his wife with the entirety of the command centre staring at the spectacle in complete silence. Then he very carefully tapped a single button on the console, and said three words. "Elly, Situation thirteen."

"Wait, what? You contacted Elly?" Yuuka asked, in surprise. "And what is situation thirteen?"

The door to the command centre swung open with a heavy crack and Elly, Yuuka's long-time servant stepped in, red dress billowing about at her feet and scythe slung over her shoulder. She wore no hat, but in the dimmed light of the command centre one was not needed. n her one hand she was pushing a wheelchair, and looked at Yuuka with a smile. "This is situation thirteen, Lady Yuuka, please get in and I will take you to your room."

"I'm not leaving Elly, there is still much to do, and I'm sure I can deal with a few contractions from my impatient brat!"

Elly looked at Yuuka and smiled. " I already Told Karin to be ready for us to arrive. if we don't leave soon she will come looking for you."

At Elly's words the entire command room felt cold. Karin Chakwas was a Lunarian Doctor, one who had trained and learned under Eirin Yagokoro. she was known be a nice woman in person, but absolutely cold and brutal when those under her care would not cooperate. it was rumored she could make anyone comply with her wishes as long as they were medical in nature, and the fact that Yuuka grimaced, albeit only slightly, said volumes to that point.

Yuuka nodded and slowly began getting out of her seat, clearly having trouble as she did.

"Here, let me help you." Elly said with a smile as she moved the wheelchair closer and helped Yuuka into it.

"Thank you Elly. Let's not keep the doctor waiting."

"Don't you mean your baby?" Elly said with a grin. "I still can't believe I'm going to be an aunt!"

Yuuka groaned in exasperation as Elly began wheeling her out of the room, allowing her to gaze ay Williams. "Roger. if anything happens to you, I will personally break you out of hell to turn you to ash myself, understand!"

"Yes, I understand" Williams said as he Yuuka was rolled out. "Ash huh?" Williams muttered as he looked at a single line of words on a screen on the wall and smiled.

Time until Mage fleet arrival: 13minutes

"Just hold a little longer everyone." Williams said with a smile. "This farce of a operation will soon be over!"

Codex –

Overkill gun / Vajra cannon - A massive Gun that Turian forces encountered at the barriers of the second defensive line in Xi'an. They called it an overkill gun due to its size and damage, but in truth it is called a Vajra cannon.

Vajra cannons are a midsized Pulse cannon designed for light and heavy cruisers for short ranged heavy hitting. While able to be powered and mounted planeside, their design limits their usability, as their shots cannot hold their form for longer than a second, and because of this their range is limited to barely 500 meters in atmosphere.

The Vajra cannons use by the second defensive line on Shanxi were taken from the Cruisers that had orbited Shanxi. Knowing that the enemy fleet would likely be too large for them, they gave the defence forces their guns and then went into battle with only skeleton crews, sacrificing themselves to give the planet a little bit more time. The majority of the skeleton crews were Fairy's however, so the actual loss of life in this maneuver was minimal.

Safe camp - Safe camps are a Turian concept that they use while pacifying a city, be them alien, or other Turian cities like during their civil war. A Safe camp is established inside a city, and civilians are brought to it to all be kept in one place. When a city is taken over Turian execution squads will go door to door. Those who do not willingly allow themselves to be taken to the camp, or express even a hint of anger or violent against the Turian forces are killed on the spots and their bodied taken to be cremated. The Turian military makes use of Safe camps and execution squads to speed up the pacification of planets, but have not used this tactic in many years due to lack of need.
