Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam (the body armor is designed after), YuYu Hakusho, or X-Men.
Claimer: I won the Asian Councils of Abnormal Occurrence, the affiliated soldiers, units, gear, and the Mercenary Guild.
Note: I also don't the song "Over There" by George Michael Cohan (July 1878-Novermber 5th, 1942 (in my opinion he was one of the greatest surpassing Boch, Beethoven, etc. in creating songs). I also will add his famous quote from after he saw the movie "Yankee Doodle Dandy" staring James Cagney as George Michael Cohan: "That's an act to follow."
Note2: Do remember fictional nations have been added and I altered the timeline to add in fictional wars and operations. This time I'm throwing an additional curve ball. BATTER UP!

"Black Kitsune"
"Her Face in the Mirror, her Reflection, and WAR!"
Chapter 2
Location and time unknown
Black Kitsune looked at herself in her mirror she had just stolen from the United States of America's Smithsonian Museum of American History. Needless to say that the X-Men minus a have half dozen members, but the slack had been picked up by the FBI and Washington, D.C. Police Department, as well as four companies of American Green Berets.She had thought she had a challenge, but that was not the case until Razz Gale, Nitro Gearheart, and some Koorime, most likely that outcast, Sukara Aishu. The three had been one hell of a challenge and she barely escaped. Had Razz decided that some old song sheet with some song on it was more important then chasing her.
"Men, who knows what goes through their heads especially that Razz. He had taken a number of blows that would have destroyed items in that place. WHY?" she asked her reflection.
Then she saw it. Her life, begin to pass before her eyes. She was truly part Kitsune, but she was only 2/7ths. She was also 2/7ths human and then that last 3/7ths were fire, shadow, and ice. Razz seemed to be a human with masterful skills equal to her, but he was ahuman and controlled water instead of ice, though she didn't doubt he probably had that ability, plus he had manipulated metal. Was he what they call a Survivor? A few that are born with skills that changed lead into gold, like Leonardo Divan chi? Is he an Alchemist?
She saw the two of them fighting and he used it! The Reidoha! How did he know it? Then she hit her head. It could have been none other than Razz Gale, the Shadow of the Reikai! One of the few Spirit Detectives to be promoted and come under the command of Koenma's father! She visibly shuddered from the thought, but then remembered that he had retired and went into hiding. Now he was after her. She could see that during their fight he always seemed to defend that Koorime and the stories of the two being lovers, but now she had proof, though not concrete.
She continued to stare at her reflection and her life passed through her mind's eye. Her mother had been a fire/shadow hanyou and her father had been a first generation Ice Kitsune hanyou. She can still remember how her human and demon grandparentshad been gathered together with the three of themwhen a Spirit Detective had attack.
He had slaughter all, but her. An aging old man had appeared and saved her. He had fought off the Spirit Detective and started yelling at him. Then she heard the name Sensui yelled, followed by a massive explosion. She was found by a Japanese Defense Force medic when the military arrived to investigate the explosion. He was a quarter wolf youkai himself and took her to the safety of his pack. The pack scattered a few days later when the sameSpirit Detective found them. She never knew what happened to them. She was then found by a Water Kitsune named Tsunami. She raised Black Kitsune and in fact named her that. With the wars being fought all over the place, naturally the wars found their way to Japan and it was hit hard. Black Kitsune found herself a prisoner of the People's Republic of North Korea, when she had been spotted and captured by NK spies in Japan. She had no choice, but to work for them from time to time.
That is, till she had stolen that artifact that led to her encountering the X-Men. Now she was free and making good use of it. That was three years ago and she had be scarce during the time she had to recover her abilities and youki. Now she was back, well at least back in America. She had annoyed the A-CAOs by causing trouble, especially for J-CAO. She had no doubt that they knew that when she knocked one of their shields off-line in, that she had made off with the with the Emperor's Sun Armor, the secret Armor of the Japanese Imperial Line that the Emperors were when they led their men into some of the most fierce battles between Humans and Demons to date. The Humans had won battle after battle, but no surprise, the usual numbers of Humans that Demons fought were few, often no more than a five to ten thousand men, but these armies had somehow scraped together a minimal of 25,000 men each time and with greater tactics and training, had defeated the Demons. That and the fact that towards the end of the creation of the Barriers, large numbers of Demons sided with the Humans and drove their own kind into the Makai. One of them had been Raizen, who had been said to have fathered a Hanyou and had stopped eating Humans. She thought about the current Makai Lord, Urameshi Yusuke, Raizen's descendent son and lord of his lands and all of Demon World. She heard that he had a thing for a mere human girl. She didn't think to scoff at it. As she continued to look at herself in the mirror that had belonged to some American War Hero from the mid-1800's. She continued to think about all the people she had killed as she continued to look at herself in the mirror. She liked what she saw. Foolish humans who stood between her and this one treasure in Japan. She just used a Fire Whip and they were all killed or severely wounded to the point of the wounds being mortal. One of them had actually managed enough strength to continue to defy her. He was no older than twenty she had guessed.
Flashback
He had reached out and grabbed her leg to stop her. She began to beat the top of his head with her fist, but he wouldn't let go. He then began to try and bring her down by climbing a top of her. He barely got passed her waist, when she froze her clothes and he slipped down, but not before swinging his gun out of its holster and shattering her clothes with a pistol whack. He had died before he hit the ground. Had he lived, she would have killed him. That's when two Mercs from the Mercenary Guild showed up. They saw the carnage and knew who she was. They had attacked her and she had had a tough time fighting the two, but in the end she won. She had caught one in half with a Shadow Fire Sword at the waist. Then had a little fun with the second before ending his life with a broken neck. She wished afterwards that she had left him alive. She never had such a man likethatbefore or since. Lucky though, she had been able to blank all of her fallen opponents' memories before ending their lives and preserving her secret. She then walked to the vault and froze. Then shattered it and stole the Ceremonial Empress Kimonos.
End Flashback
She looked at them still nice and clean. She didn't like to see her stuff get dirty or age. She used a number of abilities that Kitsunes' have to preserve the artifacts that she had stolen.
She then decided to turn on the radio as she remembered a couple dozen of Ogres in Reikai.
Flashback
"Stop!"
"Look OUT!"
"MY LEGS!"
"She got Fred!"
"DAMN!"
"AHHHHH!"
The cries of 37 Ogres as they had been slaughtered had filled her with joy. She then preceded to the loot Koenma's vault of jewels and gold and anything else she might like, but only enough that she could carry. Then killed 45 more Ogres that dared to challenge her. She leapt up and over a wall and was gone before anybody else could arrive. Once again she had kept her identity a secret by creating chaos among those she killed, but one had managed to survive long enough to report that "a Kitsune had robbed the vault."
End Flashback
She hated that she had slipped and then she slipped again, but it was to a J-CAO who had lived!
Flashback
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING THROUGH!"
"GIVE UP YOU!"
"ATTACK!"
She couldn't believe that these few soldiers were giving her a problem. There were only eight of them, but they might as well been eight-million. They were indeed the very best in all three worlds. She had a hard time fighting them, but they were soon down, but a ninth man showed up. He was undoubtedly the strongest she had fought so far. His armor was different.
"You're either a leader or an elite soldier. Which one?" she had said in a monotone voice that didn't give away her gender.
"Your clothes are as dark as the night, but I love the dark. Hmm….. You must be the Kitsune that raided Spirit World. Yes, you are. I know, because you tensed there for a second. You ain't that good. The name's Blaster. I'm from the Oar Riders," Blaster said.
She had defeated him after a terrible battle that left her injured and he had somehow lived. She was able though to steal the Crimson Spear, but that was it as she fled for her life. J-CAOs were indeed the most elite of the most elite in all of three realms. She felt lucky that she escaped, but the Blaster had reported her to be a Fire/Ice/Shadow Kitsune, but errorless reported her as a full Youkai, not as a Hanyou.She had also not killed the other guards, they had also survived and couldn't report anything more.
End Flashback
As she thought more and more about her passed and even a brief fight with Raizen himself. The radio changed from music to a news bulletin announcing that North Korea had invaded South Korea! She then heard a speech from a French Foreign Legion soldier, famous Captain Ryan Gallant declare that he was joining the United States Army to go and help fulfill his native nation's alliance to the Republic of South Korea. Then the American President came on the radio to make an official declaration of America's involvement in the 2nd Korean War.
"My fellow Americans! The North Korean Communist Government has invaded our fellow ally and free loving people, the South Koreans. The attack started out with the use of chemical agents against our combined troops. The United Nations is meeting to discuss this situation, but Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Greece, Canada, Australia, and Japan have begun to mobilize and ready their forces. Already combined Japanese/American air patrols have shot down hundreds of NK bombers and fighters over Japanese soil and water. We will fight back and defeat this heartless enemy who is unpopular even among its OWN people. We shall bring peace swiftly and decisively to Asia. IT IS OUR DUTY TO GO AND DEFEND OUR ALLY FROM THIS ATTACK AND THEN REJOIN THE TWO KOREAS INTO ONE KOREA!"
'President Bush sure knows what to say to get the people going," thought Black Kitsune as she readied herself for a trip to North Korea to tie up all lose ends.
Several Days Earlier
Xavier Institute For Gifted Young People 5 miles outside of Bayville, NY, USA, NA
"Here comes the Blackbird now!"
"All right! Lets' see these new students!"
"I hope their good and learn fast, because I don't want to have to hold back for them."
Everyone stared at their friend. She was such a loner. They still had no idea why they liked her so much.
"Geez! Always gotta rain with you Rain," stated Rain's brother, Louis.
"SHUT UP! Damn irritating surf bum," Rain said to Louis.
"Hey I take offense to being a surf bum, soggy!" retorted Louis.
"It was supposed to be an offense BAKA!" shouted Rain.
"Baka?" asked everyone.
"It means idiot, among other things, in JAP-A-NESS!" she shouted shocked that she was the only one who actually read their assignment from the Professor.
Everyone began to whistle, when the Professor spoke in their minds.
"I gave you that assignment for a reason. Only two of them speak good English, and one doesn't speak it at all and it was an assignment from your school," Professor Charles Xavier spoke sternly in their minds.
"Sorry professor," they all, minus Rain, returned mentally.
"Damaged is already done. McCoy!"
"Already ready Professor!" answered Doctor Hank McCoy.
"Good!"
"We're landing now," said Professor Xavier.
Bayville Main Street, Bayville, NY, USA, NA
The day after the official declaration of War between the United States of America and the People's Republic of North Korea.
The new recruits called to defend their nation and its allies began a grand march off to war. They are had the few most precious of belongings in their bags as they waved at the troops as they marched off to war with North Korea. China had earlier that day, been split by a civil war. Some military and political hardliners wanting to support North Korea had started fighting with moderates who wanted to sit the war out or support the U.N. Forces. This had caused Russia and Mongolia to join the war and some feared that the 2nd Global War could break out. The 9th U.N. Army was stationed in China and made up mostly of Chinese, but the Chinese soldiers had decided to continue fighting for the United Nations. The Mercenary Guild had sent three of its largest formations to China and two more to Neo-Pursan Perimeter which was shaping up like the previous line and just as bloody, but even more so.
"Bye Scott!"
"See ya Summers!"
"Come on Bro!"
The X-Men saw the Summers Brothers depart to help with the war effort. The military was drafting mutants to fight in the war, because biologically engineered soldiers were appearing on the battlefields and so were Asian Mutants. The A-CAOs had provided that information anonymously to the United Nations. The NK-CAO and C-CAO were aligned with their fellows, though members like Wang were now dead and this enabled them to stay at peace and support the U.N.'s war effort.
Back on Main Street, all the bands from the schools of Bayville were playing "Over There." Some people began to sing it, especially surviving soldiers from WW2 and 1st Korea.
Johnnie, get your gun,
Get your gun, get your gun
Take it on the run,
On the run, on the run
Hear them calling, you and me,
Every son of liberty.
Hurry right away,
No delay, go today,
Make your daddy glad
To have had such a lad.
Tell your sweetheart not to pine,
Because her boy's in line.
Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word-
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming
Ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
Send the word, send the word to beware,
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till its over
Over there
The bands repeat the rhythm of the music solo, then the singers start up again.
Johnnie, get your gun,
Get your gun, get your gun,
Johnnie show the Hun
Who's a son of a gun.
Hoist the Flag and let her fly,
Yankee Doodle do or die.
Pack your little kit,
Show your grit, do your bit,
Yankee to the ranks,
From the towns and the tanks.
Make your mother proud of you,
And the old Red, White, and Blue.
Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word-
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming
Ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
Send the word, send the word to beware,
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till its over
Over there
Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word-
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming
Ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
Send the word, send the word to beware,
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till its over
Over there
The new recruits even began to sing the song and it could be heard for miles. The people of Bayville and visitors, whose loved ones and friends were shipping out to Boot or the front. The battleships Iowa and New Jersey sailed by shooting blanks from their 16in main guns. Three of the four Iowa-Class Battleships had been reactivated, the only one not was having a dispute over it, U.S.S. Missouri at anchor in Hawaii. Four more were being built to give America seven activate battleships, the most since the end of World War Two!
Black Kitsune observed the readiness of these people to fight and die. She then caught a scent of a Silver Kitsune.
'Yoko Kurama?' she thought mentally dropping into Japanese.
She cursed at herself for doing that. She didn't want to think or speak in Japanese. It brought back to many memories. She then caught another scent, American male.
"That's an act to follow. I bet George Michael Cohan is smiling in the next life. What's your thought Black Kitsune?" the man had asked.
She visibly tensed at the fact that he knew it was her.
"With a war on, I can't chase you. Stay out of trouble. I want to defeat you. I don't want the new Spirit Detective to beat you, I want to defeat and add another feather to my cap!" with that said he turned and left.
She turned to him and called out," I won't stay low and I won't be defeated!"
He stopped and turned back to her. He nodded and walked back up to her. He had some kind of cloak on and a hat. He was also wearing sun glasses. She could tell that he allowed only his scent, his nationality and his gender to be noticed by her. He grabbed her arms and pulled her into a kiss. It lasted a few moments before he broke it off and said a hurried goodbye and left. She just stood there and shouted to his retreating back in Japanese," I'll keep a low profile, but not much to get the Reikai Tantei's attention!" He waved to her, before disappearing.
Turning back, she began to sing the song. Some people seeking a better view arrived and joined her in the song.
