The plane soon approached Midgard City Airport. We heard a voice, which was obviously the tower crew. "Attention! This is a restricted area! Identify yourself or you will be shot down!" Uni grinned and spoke into the radio, using her HDD voice. "This is the Black Sister, requesting to land at runway B3." There was silence. Then we heard the response. "You are clear to land, Lady Uni." Uni maneuvered the Skycastle and soon landed it onto the correct runway. As soon as she taxied it to one of the empty hangars, we saw a patrol of Lastation APCs making their way to the hangar. As I walked out, I saw the squad of SWAT agents. I recognized Jackscepticeye immediately. He bowed to Uni, and the rest of the squad followed suit. "We are here to escort you to the train station as ordered, m'lady." Jack said respectfully. Uni nodded. "Excellent. We shall head that way now." she replied. Jack opened the door of their APC. "By all means." Uni climbed into the vehicle. We opened the back of the Skycastle, retrieving the APCs that were in the cargo bay. I quickly loaded my squad into the APCs, taking control of one. I followed Uni's vehicle as it left the airport. The other APC tagged along. We soon reached the train station. A huge bridge connected Midgard City with Lastation. It was the trade route between the two cities, and the alternative was by air. As soon as I reached the bridge, I began giving orders. "Uni, I need eyes on everything. If you see anything belonging to the reds, you turn it back or you turn it to ash." Uni nodded. "I'll head to the planned area." I turned to IF. "You and me will stay on the bridge and guard it. If the Red Army sends another team in, we need to be ready. And Broccoli?" The girl turned to me. I said firmly, "Smash." Broccoli grinned and hopped off. I looked at IF and handed her a pack of metal coins. "Stick these on the supports." I explained. "That will help us a lot."
Within a half hour, IF had stuck the coins onto all of the supports. The Red Army struck at night, so this would give me a time limit. Three girls, tucked into cloaks, slowly walked up to the bridge. As soon as she was by my side, I softly whispered, "Nepgear?" She took off the hood and nodded. "Good. Go ahead and suit up. I need you with Uni." I turned to the other two. "I assume Blanc sent you two?" I asked. The two removed their hoods. Both of them wore fluffy hats. I looked back at Nepgear, and frowned. "Blanc knows that I am planning a battle, not babysitting, right?" I had said that pretty loudly, a little too loudly. I must have spooked them, and the one in the blue outfit sniffled. Fuck. I hated it when I accidentally made a girl cry. "Wait a minute. Please don't cry. I didn't- Huh?" As I said this, the other one ran at me. She aimed a kick at me. It hit me in the jugular. I had to suck in my breath to avoid screaming. I hissed in pain and gave myself a healing serum. The pain ebbed away. I looked at the girl in the blue outfit. I looked into the trees, seeing a fairly ripe peach on one of them. I picked it. "Here." I handed it to the girl in the blue outfit. She mouthed, "Thank you" to me while her sister made an attempt to comfort her. I said quietly, "Sorry for the mix-up. I will have you guys follow Nepgear." I felt something rub my leg for the umpteenth time. I reached down and got ahold of a tail. Attached to it was a black heart with a pink line down the middle of it. I pulled upwards, and a gray creature came up. I knew what it was immediately. I pressed the creature against one of the trees, "Warechu! So you've been spying on us, you little s-" A loud beep covered up the swear word. I got a look from Nepgear. "Since you're near Rom and Ram, any foul language you use will be censored." she explained. I looked at the two. "So, the blue one's Rom, and the pink one's Ram!" I guessed. I got something out of the mouse. "Ugh... Can I go now?" I looked back at Warechu. "No. I'm taking you back to Basilicom for, ahem, interrogation." The mouse began to struggle, confidence out the window. "No! Please! Not again!- Wait, I'd be with my sweet Compa!" he said, suddenly gaining confidence. I snarled at him. "For your information, if you put your grimy paws on Compa." I whipped out a machete. "I will f(BEEP)ing neuter you personally." Once again, the mouse's confidence flew out the window. "Nooooooo!" I realized the mouse was making too much noise. I snarled at him, "Shut up!" He went silent. I looked at him. I saw a pink and white striped item in his right hand. I pried it out of his hand and examined the ball. "Huh. Is this your toy? How childish." I dropped the item. Suddenly the ball crumpled, unfolding into... "Nepgear?" She had run off with Rom and Ram. I video called her. She appeared on the screen, whispering to Rom. I cleared my throat. Uni's entire group jumped. Nepgear turned towards the camera. "What do you need?" I flipped the gauntlet camera towards the abandoned garment. "Are these yours?" I looked back at the camera, and Nepgear's entire face was red. "Umm..." Not waiting for her response, I threw the undergarment towards their location. Checking the camera, I saw Uni get up and hand the delivery to Nepgear. "Thanks." she said. She started walking away from the camera, obviously not turning it off.
I turned the screen away and looked into the treetops. I knew that Nepgear wasn't pleased with me seeing her in nothing but her undergarments, she would probably behead me if she knew I had seen her bare ass. I heard a "There!" from Nepgear. "You left the camera on." sighed Uni. I heard Nepgear gasp. "Kenji? Did... you see anything?" asked Nepgear. "I'm not looking until you say it's safe to do so." She sighed. "You can look. I'm covered up now." I looked at the screen. "I saw nothing, I swear." This caused her to giggle. "Neptune was right when she said you were a ladies' man." she replied. I sighed. I looked down at Warechu. He looked up at me. "Can... you at least turn me right-side up? I'm starting to get dizzy." I sighed and turned him right-side up. But I shoved him into one of the APCs and shut the door, making sure to throw in a spare radio. As I locked it, I heard distant gunfire. I realized that the Red Army recon team had arrived. My gauntlet buzzed and I realized I had left my own camera on. I looked at the screen. Nepgear looked more serious. "There seems to be about twenty men, maybe more. The train is armed with railguns. If it enters the city, it will wreck havoc on the dreadnought!" I sighed. "How do we stop it?" Nepgear transformed, and a gun blade materialized into her hands. "We'll try to derail it." she explained. "If something goes wrong, the fate of Lastation will rest on your little gamble." I nodded. I began to hear gunfire as the CPUs began to fire energy blasts at the train. I saw the battle through the gauntlet. Nepgear had strapped her camera to her shoulder. The energy bolts were doing barely any damage to the train's heavy armor. They had four miles to work with. It would take a few minutes for it to reach the bridge, so they would have plenty of time to take out the train. I had to just sit and wait. I looked at IF. "Get into that APC." I said. We climbed into the vehicle. I heard a giggle as Red got into the back of the vehicle. I heard a shriek from Warechu. "NO! Not you again!" Five minutes had passed. Soon, I heard something I had hoped NOT to hear- the train. Nepgear's voice sounded over the radio. "The train got through. Good luck, Kenji." I heard shouting coming from the train. I heard gunfire. Immediately I slammed on the gas as the APC began to go over the bridge. Bullets began to shred the ground around the vehicle. IF shrieked as a stray metal beam knocked off the right side view mirror. The train had begun to go over the bridge with us. I pulled out a detonator and activated it. Did I forget to tell you that the metal coins were bombs? I heard explosions as the bombs started going off. The bridge began to collapse, and the people on the train began to realize what was happening. I slammed on the gas as the bridge crumbled behind us, taking the train with it. I looked at the gauntlet. The train fell into the canyon below. Then it hit.
I turned on the sound blockers as the train burst into a giant fireball, as the sound would make anyone go temporarily deaf. I drove like crazy, not stopping until we got off the bridge. I heard Nepgear. "You sneaky little devil." she teased. I pulled the APC over as I watched the glorious explosion.
Red looked a bit green. She opened the door and walked over to a bush. I fetched some bottled water and followed her out. She leaned over and upchucked into the bush. I rubbed her back as she shuddered. She soon came up, and I handed her the water. "Rinse and spit. It should get the flavor out of your mouth." She took the water and did what I said. Eventually she looked at me and smiled. "Your'e such a good husband." She pressed up against me. I sighed. It would take forever to get her to stop calling me 'husband'. Suddenly, I heard a huge burst of energy. I looked towards Lastation. As the pulse covered the sky, I saw giant balls of electricity appear over Lastation. Uni froze. "That's probably bad." she said. As I watched, a huge shield appeared over Lastation. It appeared that the city was safe. I was wrong. Cracks began to appear in the shield as it slowly began to disintegrate and turn from an light blue to a flame-colored orange. As the shield broke apart, I saw a huge fleet of Red airships, along with a huge dreadnought, begin to slowly move towards the city. Shit.
