Hello again everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Demon Lord, thought I would change the story schedule so that I have one thing to concentrate on than the other. And one other thing, since the website is experiencing an email malfunction, I won't be able to read off the reviews for the time being. If it does before I post the chapter, then I'll get back to answering. Anyways, hope you enjoy the chapter and see you in the ending.

Chapter 18: Spawned above the Adriatic
Cipher's (Daniel Cross') P.O.V.
Skies above the Adriatic Sea
It took a while to get used to our surroundings once again, but Minna is happy to be back in her world. More or less pleased on seeing the Red Neuroi. Meanwhile, the Razgriz pilots are awed to find more fighter jets and girls with planes on their legs, though exposing their rear to the new squadron.
"Uh… can I point out the fact that I can see the girls' rear end from inside the cockpit? And that those two have no pants on them?" Chopper pointed out
"I think the Osean Censorship Committee will not be pleased…" Grimm said quietly
"Don't you think I didn't hear that you two?" Barkhorn snapped "We'll explain everything when we land." ROT One then appeared next to my right wing.
"Cipher. I didn't expect you to return to this world. ROT Two has a ton of questions for you at this point." Fleisher said
"Good to see you as well, ROT One. ROT Two, I understand you want to know how my vacation went, right." I asked as the second Typhoon appeared
"I really want to know how Belka and Ustio is right now. It has been a while since you left for there. I only received a notice from Crow Team about their operation against some… Anti-Witch supporters." Waechter said
"Well… everything was fine back home. Except for a meteor drop, a civil war between the people of Usea, another war featuring ISAF and Erusea, which then reverted back to a kingdom, and a war between Osea and Yuktobania."
"I take it you fought in both those wars, Brother?" Barkhorn asked curiously
"Somewhat. The first Usean Continental War have been won by a mercenary known as Phoenix, and the second one was won by an ISAF pilot known as Mobius One. And I was a little pissed about him exceeding my kill count and earning title of 'Ace of Aces'." Minna sweatdropped a bit
"He was disappointed for a few days. Overtime, he grew to accept that a new generation of Aces will be made one day. And Mobius One did just that." Isara, knowing about what happened during one of their downtimes aboard the Kestrel, nervously chuckled at that.
"At least I didn't surpass you, Daniel." She factually stated
"Yeah, yeah. Now laugh at the second place member of the 'Ace of Aces'." I sighed deeply. "Anyways, what have you four been doing since Minna and I left for Ustio?" I asked the four
"Things haven't been too bad, apart from Erica still sleeping and Barkhorn lecturing her about… ROT One, what's that term again?" Waechter asked her Wing Leader
"It's called 'Karlsland Discipline'. It's kind of like Belka's, but without the ultranationalist zeal." That got Fleisher thinking "Say, Cipher? I forgot to ask. What happened to Belka?"
"A lot of things happened so to say. After the Belkan War, the country was minimized to that of a Principality. It kept its ancient borders, but South Belka was annexed by the Oseans, in which they have Sudentor and the munition plant in it. That in turn brought shame to the Belkans, and some members are willing to unite the two halves once again."
"Then came the Grey Men." Isara continued "They are an ultranationalist group who wanted to see Belka restore its prestige once again. It even assembled its own air force secretly for which two squadrons are sent as aggressor squadrons to both Osea and Yuktobania. They instigated the war and did some pretty nasty things to both countries."
"You mean to tell me that that group did all that?" Fleisher asked. I think he formed a fist on the control stick. Isara nodded to him.
"I'm afraid so. But they are of different ideology. They wanted to continue the traditions of Belka before and during the war, and they targeted both. To do so, it was… complex. The factory boosted production of weapons for both Osea and Yuktobania to use. Doing this would result in a boom for the company and Belkan military aligned with the Grey Men would be back at superpower strength."
"So we have seen over the Vladimir Mountains." Minna remembered what had happened over Yuktobania's skies "The Belkans managed to put in stealth fighters to combat the-then Wardog Squadron to stop their plans from exposing the truth."
"And I am just glad you, Cipher and Kid came in at the last minute. Otherwise, we would've been easy pickings for them." Chopper said with relief. Waechter meanwhile sees the new look of my aircraft.
"Cipher? May I ask what happened to your old paint style?" I kind of chuckled at the thought at that.
"After my Sister and her squadron was pronounced 'dead' by the Osean military, they came aboard an Osean Carrier from the Belkan War, the Kestrel." I answered "They transformed themselves into what became known as the Razgriz and they are dead set to find who instigated the war."
"So… can the Razgriz, I think I'm saying it correctly, introduce themselves?" Erica asked intriguingly
"We'll introduce ourselves when we find somewhere to land." Edge answered "Maybe an airbase without a pompous Base Commander." We then flew over, to what ROT Team described is the Adriatic Sea. We held this usual kind of silence period until came time where one of us had to come up with something.
"Did anyone want to do something before coming here?" Minna asked. Barkhorn spoke first.
"I was planning on visiting Chris at the hospital." That caused Erica to chuckle a bit. "I-It's not like it if I d-didn't see her for a long time."
"I already know you, Trude~." Erica said cutely "You cannot even resist. Same thing applies to Miyafuji." Barkhorn flushed crimson red at the thought of Yoshika.
"Speaking of Miyafuji," Minna added "when was the last time you've heard of her?"
"Honestly, since last week." Fleisher answered "Heard it from a Fusoan Ambassador while he's visiting Belgica."
"Not to mention we're being deployed because of a new Neuroi hive being present over Venezia. I suppose you haven't heard of it." Waechter questioningly stated
"Oh no. Survivor briefed us in on what has happened back in this world, and I guess you four are going there to link up with the 501st." All of them agreed. Just then, Minna has her familiar active. "Picked up something, Dear?"
"Incoming Neuroi. It's attacking a Romagnian naval convoy." She paused for a bit and detects incoming allies. "And I'm detecting allied forces in the area. It's ours." I looked ahead, and found small explosions out in the distance, which includes a huge black object and smaller objects swarming round it. It was then an ever-familiar voice cracked through the radio.
"Yo, buddy? You still alive?" I smiled when I heard that voice, and they can use the reinforcements right now.

Hiyori's P.O.V.
A Week Earlier
Cairo, Egypt
Lyla and I are busy relaxing, along with Shirley and Lucchini near a beach site. North African Command told us of our exceptional work, they decided to give us some R&R. For us, it feels like liberty that we earned a rest. Before that, in the weeks that followed Cipher's departure to Ustio, it was somewhat crazy.
For example, there was this ace named Hanna Justina Marseille, otherwise known as the 'Star of Africa'. I expected her to be like all of the other Witches, but she's different from the Witches we came to meet. She's more of a rebel in regards to following orders, and looks for competition, particularly Erica Hartmann. I think she didn't give kind regards to us as well, so much so that she even challenged me to a dogfight. I would say that I won, with some assistance from the Blue Neuroi, but she's not the type that likes losing. She vowed that she will defeat me, but I gave her a challenge. Defeat Cipher if he comes back, then you'll duel me. She agreed, how simple was that. And the best part is that I didn't spill any details about him.
Cut back to the present, everything's pretty relaxing at this moment… Apart from the news about the new Neuroi Hive appearing over Venezia. Lucchini took it in the hardest, Shirley telling us that she hails from Romagna and she doesn't want her home country to be under the Neuroi. For the time being, she's feeling a bit better than before and as lively as ever.
Somewhere above the Adriatic
A Week Later
When it came time for us to redeploy, Shirley and Lucchini are all set while Lyla and I catched up with them. "Any idea where we're heading to, Shirley?" Lyla asked
"Near Romagna. I think Command fell through with the transfer orders." Shirley answered, which I earned myself a sigh of relief.
"Good. I like being in some breezy conditions rather than being burned alive in the desert." Lucchini thought otherwise
"I thought it would be just to get away from that rebel girl." She teased while I thought a vein showed up on my head
"Don't remind me… Please…" The Romagnian laughed a bit before my lover calmed me down
"Ease up a little, Hiyori." She said calmly "Be glad that Marseille isn't following, so that she won't get inside your head."
"R-Right. If she sees me like this… I just hope that Cipher gets back here…" I said sheepishly as Lucchini chanted something about food, which one of them made Shirley sick to her stomach.
"No octopus for me, thank you…" Shirley covered her mouth at the thought of eating seafood.
"Why not?" Lyla asked curiously "I always have squid whenever Hiyori makes some seafood noodles." That didn't help Shirley a bit.
"Squid I can handle… Octopus…? Not so much…" She even tried to clear her own thought of it "How can you eat it? It's all squirmy and stuff…" Lucchini answered passionately, which didn't help Shirley at all.
"Being squirmy and sticky is what it makes it great!"
"I'll never understand that…" Shirley commented before the radio came through
"Calling all units in the area! This is Venezian 1st Squadron! Currently locked in combat with the Neuroi! Request immediate assistance!"
"This is Lyla Czesława, we're nearby your location. Give us the target and we'll help out." Lyla then ended the transmission "We have our orders, guys. Let's go." We then banked right towards the oncoming Neuroi.

Pixy's (Larry Foulke's) P.O.V.
A Week Earlier
Sedan, Republic of Gallia
So… You guys might be wondering what I have done since my buddy left to make sure we weren't dead in Ustio's eyes, right? Well, long story short, Gallia is rebuilding itself all thanks to Perrine's efforts. Some businesses managed to pitch in to the donation and resulted in Paris nearly becoming as vibrant the day before the Neuroi showed itself.
Before our journey to the Adriatic, Lynne and Perrine introduced me to the members of the 506th Joint Fighter Wing, or the 'Noble Witches', a fighter unit that came from a long line of nobles. One member in particular is Heinrike Wittgenstein. Her name is a long one, it just scrambles your mind and can get your tongue in a twist, so I'll just name her that so it's easier to remember. Heinrike didn't take an interest in me, mainly because she doesn't believe in me as a fighter pilot, and of a common person. To be fair, it took a while. So, we started a friendship, but not before she kissed me. I'm gonna tell that to Cipher when he comes back.
All in all, everything has been fine, until the three of us has been sent over to Venezia and link up with another fighter unit. Question is, who could be with us.
Adriatic Sea
A Week Later
After leaving Gallia and Romagna, we've found ourselves heading to the location where we're going to meet our squad mates. "You think we're going to see new members, or our friends, Perrine?" Lynne asked
"I highly doubt about the new members." The Gallian Noble answered "But if we manage to reunite with our teammates, it'll be a major blessing." She then turned her attention to me. "You've been awfully quiet, Pixy. Something wrong?"
"It's pretty much nothing, Perrine. I just wondering what is happening with Cipher as of late." Perrine gave off an assuring smile
"I'm sure he'll be fine, Pixy. You have known him more than any of us, aside from the Commander." I nodded while we arrived over the Adriatic, where Eagle Eye finally managed to make it on time.
"Galm Two, Bishop and Clostermann, a Romagnian Naval Group has been spotted due east of your position. Also, we spotted incoming fighter aircraft approaching the group and… Galm One's on the battlefield." That got my spirits up as I radioed my buddy once again.
"Yo buddy? You still alive?"

Sanya's P.O.V.
Moscow, Orussian Empire
A Month Earlier
After Cipher, or Daniel as we have found out his name from the Commander, had left for another country, Eila and I had been through many adventures. During our freelancing adventures, we made support runs for the Suomus military to clear supply routes to St. Petersburg. We even made it to the Saturnus Festival where the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing was hosting while being dressed in Yuletide outfits.
As we had seen from the Brave Witches, they even have a new squad member. Her name was Hikari Karibuchi, who completely looks like Yoshika, but she was originally posted to Kauhava. It happened just a month ago above the North Sea, where the Neuroi attacked a Fusoan Naval Group. From what Sasha said, the original member, Takami Karibuchi, used her ability to its limit and she was caught in a coma for about three months before being awake again.
When she reached St. Petersburg, the two sisters have been at each other since the latter was awake, though Hikari proved to be stronger than what she was before. It resulted in a bit of a contest to whoever kills the main Neuroi unit, with their abilities activated, and is to remain with the 502nd. The losing Witch is to be deployed to Kauhava. In the end, the elder sister won.
Eila and I were then sent to escort Hikari to Kauhava proper, while the final battle against the Grigori Nest began. And I can never forget the face Hikari did when she tried some of Eila's 'chocolates' that she lent. Things took a turn for the worst when the 502nd, along with the Karlsland, Orussian, and Suomus military, tried to destroy the hive, but the core the elder sister detected, kept moving all over within it and she decided to use the ability that put her in a coma.
That proved to be too much for the younger sister, so she abandoned the train and headed towards her teammates. In the end, with Hikari fighting alongside her friends again, was able to destroy the Hive and was able to mend her relationship with her sister, now proving she indeed became stronger. Eila and I still talk to her, only via mail or when we visit the base, and we even talked about our adventures with Cipher. She was completely curious and even mailed her sister about the new pilots that entered this world, and we promise her that she can see Cipher and his teammates someday.

Adriatic Sea
Allied Command told us that a new hive had appeared over Venezia, and planned to reform the 501st, along with the pilots that appeared in this world. Question was where we will be reformed at. Our answer came to light when a Romagnian Naval Group is under attack by the Neuroi. I brought up my familiar and antennae and found where the Neuroi is at.
"What is it, Sanya?" Eila asked as I heard everything
"A Romagnian Naval group is under attack. Also detected numerous Witches in the area with aircraft in support. I think… I think my older buddy is finally here now." I smiled while Eila understood what I said
"And I guess Cipher misses you as well." I nodded as I fired my Fliegerhammer onto the Neuroi.

Yoshika's P.O.V.
Yokosuka, Empire of Fuso
A Week Earlier
It had been a while since I last saw Cipher-san back in Britannia. He, along with Commander Minna went to the other world and are doing things that are unknown to me, or to the others. Things that happened to me are… completely mixed. Because of my actions during the Gallian Hive battle, mainly for being in contact with the Neuroi, I was dishonorably discharged from the Fusoan Armed Forces and received the Order of the Golden Kite for destroying the Hive.
I even occasionally volunteered in one of the military clinics and healed one of the Witches who was in a coma for three months. Aside from that, everything is pretty normal for me. But, it wasn't until I heard about what was happening in Europe, in which I want to spread the news to Sakamoto-san. And Oto-san sending me a new letter containing unknown specifics. I want to talk to her about it. Problem is, she's been in hiding for some time. After Lynne-chan called the Fusoan Base in Yokosuka, Sakamoto-san is alive and well, but told me it's of an urgent matter, and sent me away.
Adriatic Sea
A Week Later
Like in Britannia, I defied orders and followed her while she's on a H8K Emily heading for Europe. When I told her about Oto-san's letter, she kept information because either it might not work, or part of a surprise I didn't hear about. Anyways, we were approaching Romagna when we found a Neuroi attacking a Navy Group. Sakamoto-san insisted herself to combat the Neuroi, but while combating it, one little detail became clear. I saw her Striker Unit sputter. But she kept going and destroyed it, while I managed to catch her from falling into the ocean.
The Neuroi, however, has other ideas. It regenerated back to its previous form and continued its attack on the naval group. I delivered Sakamoto-san back onto the Emily, and started my own attack on the Neuroi. It is powerful because of the new Hive that had spawned over Venezia, and I am starting to lose focus and fell downwards, until…
In Median Res
Cipher's (Daniel Cross') P.O.V.
I smirked when I heard Pixy's voice once again. I tuned the radio over to his frequency and began speaking. "If it isn't my buddy himself. How are things on your end?"
"We could really use the help, Cipher. I am already linked with the other girls and Eagle Eye, and we're already engaging the Neuroi that 'Little Buddy' fought against. How far out are you?" Minna activated her familiar and checked our surroundings.
"About five minutes away from you, Pixy." She answered "We've already linked with ROT Team along with Barkhorn and Hartmann. And we've brought in some extra reinforcements."
"Roger that, Commander. However, I haven't seen Crow Team. Does anyone see them?" No one responded, but four additional allies are then seen on radar. "I think that's them."
"Galm Two, this is Crow Three, you read us?" PJ asked over the radio
"Copy that, PJ. I see you have the SAS Commander with you." Pixy answered "By the way, Cipher's back from Ustio."
"Galm One? You're back, sir." PJ is surprised by our arrival back in this world "How was it back in Ustio?"
"Things had changed since we were last there. Had to fight in some war the Belkan Nationalists concocted and defusing situations between the Oseans and Yuktobanians." Crow Team became surprised.
"You mean to tell me that Belka was resurrected and put everything they had on both countries?"
"Yeah, but we put an end to everything." I answered "So, how are things with you, your squad, and the Special Air Service?"
"We've raided an Anti-Witch facility. Turns out some members of our group have gotten some parts of the Morgan you've shot down over back in Britannia." Amirah answered "I know, it should have been kept under safe guard under us, but some jerks in the military thought it would be a good idea to come up with better weapons instead of using Witches on the battlefield."
"Isn't Maloney leading them still? I thought he was shot by a rookie SAS Sniper." I asked
"Some of those who still held onto the view of girls being inside the house has decided to carry out where Maloney left off. That includes some higher ranking officials like Goring, who is head of the Karlsland Luftwaffe. By the way, it is good to see you again, Cipher." Amirah answered
"Likewise, Amirah." Just then the Neuroi intervened and began attacking. "And I'm also pleased to fight the Neuroi once again. But I still have to fight lasers once again. Story of my life." Minna meanwhile gave commands to the Witches to attack the Neuroi as everyone had their fair share in taking it on.
Shirley and Lucchini attacked first by the former allowing the latter to collide onto the Neuroi with her special ability, followed by Hiyori and Lyla hailing cannon fire onto it. Perrine then did her ability as well and jolts of electricity shot out from her, seemingly destroying the Neuroi, but it regenerated. "What the!? It regenerates now!?"
"It is now, Cipher! Perrine, Lynne and I found that out while we're in Gallia!" Pixy fired a salvo of missiles at the Neuroi and it regenerated its wounds again. "Now, Lynne!" Lynne responded by firing her AT Rifle at the Neuroi, which did significant damage and it turned away.
"We're after the Neuroi now!" Eila and Sanya followed it, with Eila guiding Sanya with her ability and Sanya firing rockets out of her weapon after being in the clouds for a bit. "Target hit, still mobile!"
"I'm on it!" Erica's up next and did her ability, by allowing herself to be a human-sized tornado and ramming it, with ROT Two firing her own salvo of missiles. Barkhorn followed suit and began shooting at the Neuroi and finally slamming the Neuroi with her machine guns, and ROT One responding as well with cannon fire.
"Crow Team, open fire!" The three F-16's fired volleys of missiles at the Neuroi with Amirah firing her weapons at it, finally piercing through the Neuroi's skin.
"The core is out!" I've found a hole where the Neuroi core is being housed at. I then found the Major flying towards it, with her sword in hand. "Ms. Sakamoto!"
"Major, are you crazy!?" She didn't respond, but instead evaded the Neuroi's attacks
"What kind of flight path is that!?" Barkhorn asked surprisingly
"She's dodging all of the attacks!" Shirley answered in awe. The Neuroi then drew all its power and fired a giant laser at her.
"No good! It's in her path!" Eila pointed out
"Major, move!" She then unsheathed her sword and continued to fly straight towards it
"Slice it apart, Reppumaru!" The Major hoisted her sword and it cuts deep into the laser beam. "Take this! Reppuzan!" Either I'm in awe over the fact that the Neuroi is destroyed, or the Major managed to slice it into two.
"Whoa! With only one hit…!" Shirley is in awe over what happened
"Major! You're always so amazing!" Perrine is flustered over the Major
"I've never seen anyone cut a Neuroi beam before!" Barkhorn analyzed
"Maybe no dared to try it?" Erica pondered a bit, but I noticed it trying to reassemble itself and went in. Isara then spotted it as well.
"Daniel!" She went in ahead and fired a salvo and allowed me to follow suit.
"Oh no you don't!" Minna readied the missiles while my targeting screen aimed right at the Neuroi. "Fox Three, Fox Three!" A salvo of six air-to-air missiles are unleashed and finally hit the core. "All units. Target destroyed. Finally." The Major then sheathed her sword, then laughed at the result.
"There's nothing a Witch or a pilot can't do!" With that, everyone turned to the new co-ordinates supplied by Eagle Eye and flew there.

Pescara Airbase, Kingdom of Romagna
When we arrived at the base, everyone was giving hugs, meaning that it had been a long time since everyone has seen each other. Including Yoshika and Lynnette, for which they haven't seen each other for… I guess two months. When the pilots touched down onto the runway, I helped Minna down from the Eagle while Pixy walked up.
"Cipher… I guess fate has caught up again." He smiled while he lent out his hand. I took it, then hugged him. "Getting sentimental, Buddy?"
"Well… blame for what I've been through before coming back here." Minna giggled cutely at our little reunion
"He's right for one thing, you two have been apart for quite some time. Maybe you can talk after I can give a formal announcement to the other girls and pilots." We then found out that the girls are talking to the new additions that we brought along. They are mainly talking to Isara, who has been taking the brunt of their questions. I think she might pass out from all the talking. Barkhorn then walked up.
"Who knew that you had a sister this whole time, Cipher." She smiled
"But, you're my ersatz sister, so that doesn't change things." I answered her "And I'm sure she will do wonders alongside us." Barkhorn nodded in agreement while I looked at Minna talking to the Major. "I can only imagine what they are talking about."
"Maybe it's about that sword." I nodded in agreement. After everyone got reacquainted, I stood by Minna's left side while the Major took hers, along with Amirah. The other Witches and the pilots all stood at attention.
"I'll now read the orders from General Headquarters from the Allied Forces." Minna began "Once the members of the 501st have returned to active duty, you are to go to the Adriatic Sea to intercept and destroy the new Neuroi that invaded Romagna. We will be sending the necessary equipment and materials. Until then, ask the local Commanding Officers for anything you require."
"Looks like Allied Command played their cards right." I commented while Minna smiled
"Commodore Galland and Commander Dowding authorized it themselves."
"Or, were forced to, anyway." Erica joked. That caught the ire of Barkhorn again, mainly of her lax attitude, I think.
"You're acting disgraceful, Hartmann." She chimed "Orders are orders, regardless of how they are given."
"Yes, yes…" Erica answered simply.
"Hey, Lynne? What does all this mean?" Yoshika asked her Britannian counterpart. She doesn't know what to answer, but I think I know what Minna is getting at.
"I, Wing Commander Minna Wilcke, Major Mio Sakamoto, Flight Lieutenant Gertrud Barkhorn, Flight Lieutenant Charlotte Yeager, Flying Officer Erica Hartmann, Flying Officer Perrine H. Clostermann, Flying Officer Sanya V. Litvyak, Flying Officer Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen, Pilot Officer Francesca Lucchini, Flight Sergeant Lynnette Bishop, Sergeant Yoshika Miyafuji, SAS Commander Amirah Sulaiman. Captain Daniel 'Cipher' Cross." She then turned to me and nodded
"Flight Lieutenant Larry 'Pixy' Foulke, Captain Isara 'Blaze' Fuchigami-Cross, Captain Kei 'Edge' Nagase, Captain Alvin 'Chopper' Davenport, Captain Hans 'Archer' Grimm, Captain Marcus 'Swordsman' Snow, Lieutenant Colonel Detlef Fleisher, Captain Angela Waechter, Flight Lieutenants Lyla Czesława and Hiyori Kazane, Second Lieutenant PJ Beckett, Flight Lieutenant Jude Crawford, Second Lieutenant Aden Mitchell. As of this moment, the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, is hereby reformed." Everyone in the entire wing saluted.
"Roger! /Jawohl! /Yokai!"

Survivor's P.O.V.
At the tail-end of the runway, Vera, Queen Relius, and I watched as the Witches and the pilots responded well and true to their reformation. I am quite surprised that the others haven't even noticed the three Humanoid Neurois standing behind them. I then turned to the Queen and began speaking.
"So. Your Majesty. It is done. They're back together again."
"I guess that will make the Red Neuroi completely berserk. For now, I'll speak with Commander Minna and get you two signed up with the 501st. You'll keep watch on everybody, including Cipher."
"We'll do our best, Ma'am." Vera and I smiled "And it will be nice to be a part of the team." Queen Relius nodded as we watched everyone enter back inside the base, and we can only imagine what fate will throw at us.
