O' Canada! Part 2

Picking up from where we last left off, the combined forces of Canadian, Japanese, Italican, and Rose Knights, they were able to defend the city of Italica from bandit attacks, culminating in Canadians reinforcements, annihilating bandits to the tune of Queen's song, Another Bites The Dust.

The Battle of Italica, was over with the arrival of Canadian reinforcements. Ten minutes after the Battle of Italica was over, the Japanese reinforcements finally arrived, making a dramatic entrance (with said reinforcements playing Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries), but ultimately impotent entrance, with their entrance being delayed by 'poor communication' (Itami's superior was highly suspect in delaying Japanese reinforcement), causing embarrassment for the Japanese.

But with the battle now over, every bandit was rounded up by the Canadians and Japanese, who rightly believed that the Italicans will spare the bandits no mercy, and they were right in that regard, as Italicans were executing surrendering bandits, with the Canadians and Japanese trying their best to stop the Italicans from killing every bandit that surrendered and quickly taking them into custody.

The bandits were placed in temporary confinement, in cells under Count Formal's mansion, under Japanese and Canadian guard, to prevent any lynching incidents of the bandits. And when Count Formal came down to see the bandits, they beseeched to Formal, begging him to pardon them, citing their long military service to Italica. Against the bandits, his heart became like a cold stone, and Formal angrily chastise them for attacking their own town, their own families, and they broke their ritualistic vow to protect Italica and its people, and since they broke the vow, he plainly told them that they are now at the tender mercies of the Canadians and Japanese.

However, the Canadians and Japanese are less interested in such short-term, petty justice, and were more interested in long-term future prosecution, so they begin basic questioning and paperwork. For some of them, they were found to be employed into the bandit army against their will, and were released. For most, they were to be locked in Italica's jail cells, until the appropriate time came for them to be trialled and sentenced them for their various crimes.

Rory was miffed about the bandits not have yet had their necks taste justice's cold steel, but Emily explained to Rory about the Canadian justice system, that a free and fair justice system that is equal for all. Meanwhile, the casualties of battle were buried. For the defending Italicans and Rose Knights that were killed during the battle, they were buried according to Falmartian burial traditions, while the bandits were buried in mass graves, nameless, as their Italican families (the ones that survive that is), entirely disowned them.

And Pina and her Rose Knights, though erstwhile allies of the Canadians and the Japanese during the Battle of Italica, they are still enemies that are still at war. So it was an awkward situation to say the least. And Pina and her Rose Knights were outraged that Colt Formal had allied himself with the Canadians and the Japanese, with Colt negotiating and signing various treaties with them, defensive and economic (Formal wanted ). And if Pina and Rose Knights attack either the Canadians, the Japanese, or the Italicans, because they will regret it.

And the Canadians and Japanese were quick in setting Italica up as a forward operations base, repairing Italica's walls, setting up roadblocks and patrols, and building helicopter landing pads for helicopters.

They not only just set Italica up as a base of operations. The Canadians and Japanese conduct a 'Hearts and Minds' campaign, where they were repairing houses and supplying the Italicans with food, water, clothing, medication and education to the Italicans. Something the Italicans have now in free abundance. And the Italicans were grateful for the kindness, and they return the favour by giving handcrafted gifts to the Canadians and the Japanese.

Then the Incident happen. Thanks to recently-declassified Japanese and Canadian military reports, eyewitnesses from the JSDF and RCA, the story of the Incident goes like this. Lieutenant Itami and Third Recon Team were guarding the Northern roadblock when a force of Rose Knights, led by Bozes Co Palesti was spotted. When approached, the Rose Knights was quick to open hostility, with Bozes drawing her sword against Third Recon Team.

Itami and the JSDF tried to defuse the situation, but Bozes catches Itami by the neck, with Itami then ordering his Third Recon Team to retreat, much to their chagrin. When she sees that the 'men in green' have gone, Bozes interrogates Itami, punching him, kicking him. All to get information from him. To his credit, he didn't say anything, and unfortunately for the Rose Knights (or fortunately for Lieutenant Itami, the little fucker), Bravo recon squad stumbled upon the Bozes' Rose Knights and Itami. Bravo readied themselves, while Jack ordered the Rose Knights to stand down or they will be assumed to be hostile and will open fire.

Bozes, arrogantly thinking that these group of men in green will be easily defeated as the other group of men in green, ordered the Rose Knight to charged at the men in green… only to find out what it's like to be on the receiving end of several 6.8mm machine guns and assault rifles, with dozens of Rose Knights being killed or injured, with the injured from being shot or from their horse being shot under them.

Bravo squad quickly secured the area, checking for Rose Knight survivors, with the survivors being ziptied, temporarily treated for wounds, and hauled onto the G-Wagen. There were only three Rose Knight survivors, (surprisingly, one of them being Bozes) and one other survivor, a battered but alive Lieutenant Itami. All of them, return back to Italica, and the Bozes and her Rose Knights were not happy.

When Bravo returned, they report the situation to their superiors, the Japanese, Colt, and Pina. They stated that the Rose Knights attacked Third Recon Team, tortured Itami, and attempted to attack Bravo. As such, they will be temporarily placed in a jail cell. Pina said that her Rose Knights shouldn't be treated like common prisoners. Everyone just simply ignored her, leaving Pina frustrated, who could do nothing but watch as the remaining of her Rose Knights get taken away.

Rose Knight Lucinius, was few surviving Rose Knights that was captured by the Canadians, and he was angry that these men in green are treating him as a commoner, not as a son of a powerful noble. Lucinius, with great difficulty, managed to get his knife from his boot.

Lucinius, charged at Master Corporal Luke, attempting to stab him in the face, only to stab him in the hand. And Lucky Luke was not happy (and why would you, especially when some fucker stabbed you in the hand?). Using his military training, he tripped over Lucinius, aimed his Para-Ordnance 12-16 automatic shotgun (It's a Pancor Jackhammer automatic shotgun if you're wondering) at Lucinius' head, and may or may not have accidentally fired it, and at point blank range, it turned Lucinius' head into… how would I say it? Mush? Liquid? Whatever, in any case, there was nothing remains of Lucinius' head, much to the shock cusing of his squad mates.

Leiei heals Luke's hand with magic, while Rory was getting hot (*gets the shudders*) by Luke's quick handling of the situation. The Canadians, were pissed off, and they draw their weapons on the now terrified Rose Knights, with Luke aiming his shotgun at them, quipping in the style of Dirty Harry: 'Are you feeling lucky punks?'

(This reminded me that I should never, ever piss off a Canadian.)

The Rose Knights completely shocked and then feared that Lucinius' actions will end up getting them killed. Because Lucinius didn't die like a hero. He died like an animal. And so the Canadians and Japanese quickly place Bozes and the other Rose Knight into jail cells, before they can cause more trouble to fall upon themselves.

In the meantime, Formal, Pina, the Rose Knights (the ones with Pina at the time of the Battle of Italica), the Canadians and the Japanese have a meeting. The Canadians and the Japanese were not pleased that Pina's Rose Knights attacked without provocation, they told Pina that they will be interrogated for additional information about the incident.

For Pina, interrogation often involved with torture, so she offered to have Bozes and Hamiliton to be the RCA and JSDF's concubines, in order to not get Bozes tortures. And I was thinking at this moment: 'Da Fuck is this bitch on?' And it seems that the Canadians and Japanese were like: "What. The. Actual. Fuck?"

Formal realized at that moment, due to her inexperience, Pina is the instigator of her own downfall. Formal, the Canadians. and the Japanese were, simply put it, disgusted. How can a officer sell their own soldiers into sexual slavery, just so they can save their own skin?

Insinuated by her naive callousness of her own soldiers, the Canadians and the Japanese arrested Pina and the remaining Rose Knights, and place them into jail cells. Pina was angered by this, but Luke summed up what everyone was feeling about Pina's offer to her face: 'Only an opportunistic coward, can conduct such an act of revulsion.'

Meanwhile, communication between Canada and Japan was beginning, although they were basic and rudimentary. They were both surprised that their nations came from different… timelines? dimensions? planes of existence? Anyways, who cares about the technical terms?

Anyways, they both want more military cooperation in the war they find themselves against the Saderan Empire, and they both realized that the continent where the Saderan Empire was huge, with a land mass that was more or less the size of Eurasia.

The Canadians and Japanese, realized that they will need military assistance (although the Japanese needed military assistance much more, due to their military inexperience).

And the Japanese government, had to swallow its pride, as Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe requested from their world, both Canada (also known as OTL-Canada to avoid confusion) and the United States through OTL-Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and American President Barack Obama, requesting for military assistance in the 'Special Region'.

(Though the Canadians prefer the local term 'Falmart', as the Japanese term, 'Special Region', God. Special Region just sounds like a crude term that's a label for my genitalia that I needed to scratch every once in a while).

Although it didn't surprise many people that Japan request American military assistance in the Special Region, given that they have a military treaty going back sixty years, what did surprised many people is that Japan also request Canadian military assistance in the Special Region. A little strange, considering that Canada has no influence in Japan.

Abe also requested (though privately) to Harper and Obama, about them flying to Japan, as Abe wanted to discuss about military involvement in the Special Region face-to-face. And he also added that the JSDF discovered something that will blow everyone freaking minds. Harper and Obama were slightly puzzled by this request, as Abe didn't specify what will blow their minds, though they agreed to fly to Japan to discuss about in a fortnight's time.

A few days after Japan send request of military assistance to America and Canada, the Japanese Diet open an inquiry. An inquiry about the encounter with the Flame Dragon, and whether Bravo Squad and/or Third Recon Team's actions, endangered the lives of the Falmartians from Coda Village.

An inquiry that was led by 'the bitch' as Abe privately calls her. If you don't know its Kōhara. Representing the Third Recon and Bravo are Itami, Kuribayashi, Jack, and Garder, while representing the Falmartians being Leiei, Tuka, and Rory.

But sent ahead of them, was a group of high-ranking Canadian politicians, so to meet with Obama and Harper. Obama, Harper, and their respective staff arrived in Japan. Abe had lots of criticism leveled against him about US and Canadian beginning their involvement in the Special Region, especially by the extreme nationalists.

Once Abe, Obama, Harper, and their respective staffs that accompanied them, a door open to reveal the Canadians, who introduce themselves as representatives of King William V and the Kingdom of Canada. Obama, Harper, and their respective staff was both surprised and shocked at the same time, realizing that this what Abe was talking about.

As they overcame their sense of surprised shock, Obama and Harper began to discuss with Abe and the Canadians on, pretty much everything, from discussing on the war in Falmart to the history of the world where Canada came from. The Canadians and Abe agree that they will be announcing the existence of Canada to the world. And when the meeting ended, Obama and Harper privately discuss, long into the night, the consequences of the news of a powerful Canada from another world to the world.

The very next day, Abe had a speech that will change the course or our world: That through the Special Region, the Japanese have met people from an alternate Canada. Initially, people though he was lying or went insane. Or both. But the tone was serious, and people realized that he was serious, especially when he introduced the Canadian representatives, who answered questions from journalists, all of whom are eager to eat up on what's life like in this Canada.

They were shocked that Canada arrived into a world that was devastated by nuclear war caused by the Soviet Union, and that Canada gracefully help rebuild the world that they find themselves in, while having to fight numerous wars and campaigns to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. And they brought along a map that show Canada's territory, which consist of Canada and some American territory, which miffed some people (especially some of the more… nationalistic Americans). And at the end, they announced that King William V of Canada, with family, will be arriving in the next month to tour Falmart and the world.

The reaction was mixed. On one end, the OTL nations of the Commonwealth was, after overcoming the shock, was happy and ready to meet this King of Canada and his family. On the other end, the damn Norks, as always, being the little shits they are, calls the speech and questioning, 'Western imperialist lies.' The only ones that are not surprised are Obama and Harper, who knew beforehand. Across the world, everyone was discussing on the implications of two worlds, with one coming from an alternate dimension.

Similarly from Canada's world, the Canadian government announce the existence of an alternate earth as well, and people react in sunrise that there was another world, where there was no nuclear war, no Soviet Union, and generally, a somewhat better place (apart from the Middle East and Africa).

Some people would try to call for another vote concerning the former American territory, but the bitter taste of the Patriots' terrorist campaign against 'Canadian Occupation of Rightful American Territory', meant that the discussion of such topic was frown upon when discussed in public.

A few days after the speech, representatives of Third Recon, Bravo and Falmartians, arrived at the Diet inquiry, and from the moment they enter, they were being mercifully questioned by the bitch.

She first questions Itami and Jack on why Third Recon and Bravo didn't have the ability to kill the Flame dragon with their weaponry at the time. Itami answered that the Flame Dragon had armour that can shrug off 12.7mm rounds and 40mm grenades like if it was nothing, and that the grenade shot to the stomach was a lucky one, as they didn't know that it was the weakest part of the armour.

And Jack added that the Flame dragon attack the convoy from a high-angle of attack with the sun behind it, suggesting that it had a reasonable amount of intelligence when it came to attacking innocent people (unlike Kōhara).

And when scientists was called up, they answered that the Flame dragon's armour is comparable to a modern titanium composite, and they chastise Kōhara for assuming that they can kill the flame dragon with basic infantry weaponry, making Kōhara look like idiot (well, because she is one).

Jack and Garder made a short quiet comment about the similarities of Senator Kōhara and journalist Heather Mallick, in that they are both strongly anti-military and both are idiots, with their heads in the shit (figuratively and hopefully sooner or later, literally). And the inquiry was livestreamed to the world internet, and people were making comments that roasted Kōhara's ass nice and crispy, with posts mocking her intelligence or attacking her credibility. Despite this, Kōhara pushed on to continue her questioning (and I respect her for that, despite she being a bitch).

Tuka and Leiei past through Kōhara's questioning with no difficulties, as people are more interested that they were a mage and elf respectively. Then Kōhara set her sights on Rory. With Rory wearing black, Kōhara assumed that its got to do with the Flame dragon attack (somehow).

Before I continue, can I ask the question. Is Kōhara really that ignorant or that stupid? Or perhaps both? Because people are more open to expressing their emotions when they lost someone. But, Rory never express any emotion, apart from anger, so Kōhara should have at the very least, have figured out that Rory is not in mourning.

Was Bravo and Third Recon, perfunctory in their task of protecting the Coda refugees? As Rory initially displayed no emotions, Kōhara thought she got this in the bag. But Rory was not going play along to Kōhara's fiddle, as she angrily lambasted Kōhara, stating that Bravo and Third Recon was committed to defending the Coda village refugees, and calls her an ungrateful coward, who attempts to smear them, with such blatantly fictitious slander.

Kōhara, taking it badly, tries to attack Rory for her apparent disrespect, because she looks like a child. Rory responds by transforming into her 'older adult mode' (think of Rory transforming into a She-Hulk like form, minus the green skin). Everyone was like 'A-wha?' at Rory transformation. The reason that her normal form is a little girl, so that any potential enemies, will underestimate her. And boy did Kōhara underestimated her.

And the internet was applauding her speech, and Abe and his cabinet, were watching and laughing their asses off, that Kōhara was basically discredited and humiliated, as her face show quite openly. After the inquiry, the group take in the views of Tokyo, before returning back to Falmart, where the air forces and armies of the two Canadas, America and Japan, planned and staged a military exercise in Falmart.

To the surprise of everyone, the Canadians perform exceptionally well, impressing the Americans, the OTL-Canadians and the Japanese, at Canada's military prowess, being able to punch several times above their weight, perhaps equaling the American's military prowess.

And the OTL-Royal Canadian Airforce and the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force, observed the Canadian CF-190 fighters, and were impressed with it. They express interested in purchasing the CF-190 fighters, as they found that the CF-190 almost perfectly suited their mission needs and the fact that the American F-35 was still in development hell.

And the Americans, the two Canadas, and Japan, now sort of formed an informal alliance, committed to liberating any and all slaves, and to the surrender of the Saderan Empire. And the militaries, began to attack the Saderan Empire with that the goals in mind, liberating slaves and citizens and destroying the Saderan economy, to force it into negotiating peace terms.

Using hit-and-run tactics, they attack Saderan military camps, liberate captive slaves, and destroy the camps. The Canadians and the Americans conduct these raids, as the OTL-Canadians and Japanese, has little experience in conducting such raids.

They not only attack Saderan military camps, but also mines, and towns that relied on the slave economy. Some people involved in the slave trade, slave owners and overseers were often captured. But, most tried to resist, and they paid dearly for their brave stupidity. One example is Prince Diabo, who stabs an American soldier, only to be rewarded with a 9mm round splattering his face.

Meanwhile, the Saderan Senate heard about the loss of Italica, and the attacks on Saderan military camps, mines and towns, damaging the Saderan economy. They have no news from either Pina, her Rose Knights, or Diabo, so they were assumed killed by the Outworlders.

This was the biggest crisis the Empire had faced since the Arctic War. They were getting increasingly worried, that the enemy will eventually arrive at Sadera's gates and force upon them a humiliating treaty.

Molt, was like: 'Don't worry, we'll just ordered an intensification of the Scorched Earth policy!' This meant that private military companies, criminal gangs and militias, were hired and ordered to destroy all foodstuff to stop the enemy from capturing it. But this only aggravates the Saderan and Falmartian peasants into fighting back against those who are conducting the 'Emperor's Will'. And the they respond to such resistance, with such extreme brutality, that some began to have doubts. Especially the pro-peace faction.

Oh, and Zoral… well Zoral is enjoy raping his sex slaves, along with Tyuule, former queen of the Warrior Bunnies, he… well… violates a Japanese woman, and a Canadian mother and her daughter. Uh… Man, I really need to shower after writing this.

AN: Sorry for taking so bloody long to write the second part of O' Canada! It was school and writer's block that kept me from writing and uploading the damn thing. Hopefully, the Soviet Union will be a bit easier.
