The Black Whispered

Chapter 6 – Lonely

Location: Sousuke's apartment. Tokyo, Japan

Time: 17:30hrs (+8hrs GMT)

Date: March 11th, 2006

"Thank you for helping the otaku out" Kaname said to Mizuki and Kyoko,

"What about me?" Shinji demanded

"All you did was drool cleaned Sousuke's guns"

Shinji slumped in embarrassment. Inside; it was hard to tell that it was Sousuke Sagara's apartment anymore, instead of the guns lined up against the wall and the simple fold out table and chair. There was the right kind of furnishings that a single guy would expect to have. Sousuke has wisely acquired the extra futon from Kaname, reminding himself that he didn't usually keep spares on him all the time.

"We'll be going now" Kyoko replied "say hi to Tessa-Chan for me?"

"Okay, see you later" Kaname waved at her departing friends

The trio started walking down the hall. Kaname subsided her waving and closed the door.

"Well, that wasn't too bad, huh Sousuke"

Standing there at attention was Sousuke who simply stood there during the whole conversation.

"So, shall we go shopping?" Kaname spoke "Tessa-Chan is going to be here in half an hour, you don't want to serve her beef jerky for dinner do you?"

"Negative, usually when the Captain….Tessa visits, Kurz or Melissa bought extra goods, I'm not aware of which products are bought to make teriyaki stew"

Kaname sighed and mumbled 'incompetent' under her breath "Alright, lets go to 7-11, if where lucky, we'll be cooking it by the time Tessa arrives"

Location: Docking bay 2a, Merdia Island

Time: 19:00hrs (+10hrs GMT)

"So what now?"

Inside the submarine, which was now being unloaded by SRT personnal, the commander of infantry and Melissa's URUZ team were standing around the twin cans, both containing people. Almost identical in appearance, with the exception of the hair, the first girl had long Ash grey blonde hair like Tessa, down to her waist; the other girl had jet black hair of equal length.

"Who do you think they are? Whispered?" Melissa spoke,

"Remote chance, we need Commodore Testarossa to verify"

It was kind of hard for the commander of the base, considering she'd given herself approval for a weekend in Tokyo. Only admiralty was the only group that would be able to call up Theresa, and only in an emergency. In the meantime, it was up to the Commander Madukus or Kalinin to decide the fate of these two people.

"I don't know URUZ two" Kalinin spoke, "66 years they've been here, and we don't know how anything about cryogenics; only that guy from the Indian Ocean fleet would"

"We'll wait for commodore Testarossa to decide, in the meantime, I want this area sealed off, and this discovery considered classified material"

"Yes sir" Melissa spoke,

Kurz walked back to the twin coffins, to him, they were pure beauties in glass, not a single flaw on there bodies in even the German pervert's opinion, they were perfect. Exactly why they were there was only to the knowledge of the people trapped inside there.

"Kurz, get away from them" Melissa yelled at Kurz "besides…I bet anything they had work done on them"

"Right, 60 years ago?" Kurz cocked a rebuttal

"Come one, Kalinin just told us we have to go to Tokyo and get the Commodore"

Kurz nodded and walked out and proceeded to exit the vessel. Melissa looked very worried when she saw the twin coffins with the women, only Theresa would know what they were, and unfortunately she'd have to answer their question.

'Poor Tessa, she can't even have time alone with Sousuke without being called back' Melissa thought to herself.

Location: Sousuke's apartment. Tokyo, Japan

Time: 18:30hrs (+8hrs GMT)

Date: March 11th, 2006

Kaname figured that for a commanding officer of the MITHRIL Western pacific fleet, Theresa could at least be on time for dinner. Kaname and Souske managed to go down the local 7-11 two blocks down and buy all kinds of what Sousuke defined as 'luxuries', it seemed that unless it was jerky or medical supplies, Sousuke could define even a bottle of coke as a luxury.

Kaname took special care in picking out stuff for Theresa, on her last visit; Sousuke hadn't bought a single thing normal for the MITHRIL Captain to eat. It wasn't that Sousuke didn't care, or was being disrespectful, but that Sousuke; after one year, had absolutely no idea how to act like a civilian.

"Do you suppose MITHRIL delayed her flight?"

"No, that wouldn't have mattered; even if the plane left an hour late it'd be here by now."

"Yea, I can't doubt MITHRIL, but then there is the given factor how quickly can she get herself lost in Tokyo…" Kaname burst into out in a weak laughed,

"That's not funny" Sousuke rebutted sourly

"Commodore Testarossa is a capable Navigator and deep water tactician, I'm sure she couldn't have lost her way"

Before their argument could go any further, a mobile phone started ringing, at first neither Kaname or Sousuke went for their pockets. It kept ringing, both unable to reconsiders the ring tone with their mobile. It was ringing to the sound of the godfather theme

"Kaname, isn't that your phone ringing?"

"No…" It was then Kaname realised something she'd forgotten "Sousuke, it's your phone, I forgot I changed the ring tone for you"

Sousuke nodded and in a second retrieved his phone in his pocket.

"URUZ Seven reporting…" Soususke calmed answered the phone, it didn't take to long before Sousuke immediately started to panic from the voice on the other end "Where did you say you were?"

"What's the matter?" Kaname asked as Sousuke paced for a footlocker in the back corner of the bedroom section.

Sousuke was opening the footlocker with one hand as he heard what Kaname could make out as a young girl screaming or running as fast as she could.

"Understood, ill be there in 2 minutes… take cover until I arrive…URUZ seven out" Sousuke hung up the phone and retrieved his handgun and two spare clips. Despite the time; Sousuke was still dressed in his school uniform, Kaname somehow convinced him to stay in the uniform as his SRT uniform wasn't as pleasing to look at then the standard men's uniform.

"Sousuke! What's going on?" Kaname asked loudly, Sousuke no realising she'd asked him a question. He spent no further time and rushed out the door, Kaname left confused and with no choice but to follow in pursuit. Sousuke and Kaname didn't use the elevator, it was too slow; instead, they literally bolted down the stairwell as fast as they could. Sousuke led with handgun at the ready, followed closely behind by Kaname, panicing in her own right at what the military otaku was doing,

"Sousuke! Where are you going?" she puffed as they ran onto the street and started running towards Sengawa train Station.

"The commodore is in trouble!" Sousuke replied simply,

Kaname heard this and suddenly felt renewed with energy and continued to trail in Sousuke's path, it didn't take more then a second for Sousuke to deploy himself to the aid of his commander. To Kaname; it seemed that only Theresa being in trouble was what Sousuke feared the most. Kaname thought herself and feared for the safety of Kaname's whispered companion

It took only five minutes, three more then what Sousuke promised, but they arrived to the station, it was already past peak hour and the masses of people going home from work had all but left Sengawa station. It wasn't a particularly large station itself, two platforms, the kind of stop express trains passed. Sousuke slowed down to a walk and he stopped breathing heavily. He silently started to scan the surroundings of the area with his eyes, ears and that certain 6th sense that he had acquired on the battlefield.

"Sousuke, what are you…"

"Quiet!" Sousuke whispered angrily, "Stay here", I'll be right back"

She was about to hit him for telling her to shut up before they heard the noise of a lady screaming. Sousuke quick on his feet started jogging closer to the source of the noise. Kaname didn't see him disappear as he blended into the dark shadows of the building, Kaname followed in the direction she knew he went,

Theresa didn't know how she got herself into this mess, just half an hour ago; she'd gotten off the train and was looking at a map to figure out where Sousuke lived. To be honest with herself, she'd forgotten everything in terms of originating herself around this suburb, or this city for that matter. Tessa had decided against two armed escorts as it would attract attention to an enemy, if they were watching.

She hadn't notice the guys approach her. At first they were being as kind as possible with the lamest pick up lines possible, all of them, were high school punks, and telling by the uniform, weren't from Jindai, but somewhere nearby. When Theresa flatly refused their offer, it was then they got nasty. She ran as fast as she could from them, but in reality only went around in a circle, forgetting her luggage, absently forgotten, she conceived a plan to rescue her bag and catch another train into central Tokyo. She'd gotten back to the bag, but no trains were coming in an hour.

Now fallen down and surrounded by the three punks, she could only wish for a miracle.

"Lookie here" spoke the first goon "Fresh meat"

"Yea…a babe in the woods I think; Blondie here doesn't realise who she's messing with"

The first goon pulled Theresa off the floor from her braided hair, Theresa complying to them. The guys started to laugh crudely, scaring the defenceless commander into tears

"Hmmm, we're going to show you a good time in Tokyo…" the first goon said as he pulled out a switch blade,

"Oye!" yelled a familiar voice to Theresa's ears "Let her go!"

The lead punk suddenly surged in anger inside, being interrupted in the middle of his fun, by what he heard appeared to be some stupid kid tryng to be brave. The punks all slowly turned, still holding Theresa by the hair.

"What the hell do you want!" the second punk yelled

"Realise the woman, or I will not require to use force" Sousuke replied sharply, standing his ground and not flinching

"Hahaha, what's this!" the lead gang lower his arm and Theresa with it "the schoolyard hero? Want to protect the maiden?" the guy spoke in a hiss high voice

'I cannot fight them, they could use the capt…commodore as a human shield' Sousuke thought before he spoke "this is my final warning. Realise the woman or ill be left with no choice"

"Screw you kid, I haven't seen you before, but ill tell you now, we outnumber you three to one…and this is none of your business, so get lost!"

"It is my business"

"You asked for it then!" The lead punk had had enough of him and yelled in anger, ordering his two accomplices to attack Sousuke. To the untrained eye, it looked like Sousuke was as good as dead at this point. However, Sousuke wasn't your normal person, these punks not even aware of the true force that he hid.

Sousuke ducked as the first person took a swing and in an instant, triped and winded him with his legs triped the punk left in an imaginable shock, the punk flew for two metres before crashing face first onto the ground. The second punk stopped short as Sousuke sprung forward and with a solid strike, impacted and shattered the jaw on the punk with the force of a lead pipe. Before Sousuke could focus on a second offensive shot, the first punk grab him from behind, and the second punk charged forward, one hand holding his broken jaw.

Sousuke wasn't a wrestler, but for his age, was a quite capable hand to hand warrior, he had fought North Korean, Russian and very type of terrorist in the world. These punks were untrained, unfocussed and most likely incompetent in fighting. Using their numbers and size to scare anyone wasn't a tactic Sousuke noticed.

Sousuke lifted and catapulted the first punk over him, unaware of his targeting; the MITHRIL Sergeant managed to perfectly focus the impact point of the skull of the guy he was lifting to collide with second punk's face. The mess of the two formally powerful punks crashed head on basically lost energy to attack Sousuke. Both bodies feel ti the ground and remained still.

Sousuke turned to the lead punk left bedazzled as he held up Theresa again the hair. The punk didn't believe what he'd just seen. His two accomplices were on the ground, to what look liked they were basically taken out and killed. He knew that together, they were the most powerful gang in the Jindai area, and yet some unknown just wiped out two thirds their force. He was now as good left, with nothing to but this girl this guy seemed keen on acquiring. With an instant, he drew a pocket knife from his pocket, extended the blade and tapped it on left side Tessa's neck.

"Don't move you little turd, one move and I'll cut out your Girlfriend's voice box!"

Sousuke calmly stopped. Knowing that in a terrorist situation, he was now going from a petty effort to a serious attempt. He gazed sharply towards Theresa, getting her eyesight to meet his. Theresa had practiced this stare with Sousuke once and could tell with his eyes what he was saying.

'Tessa, please don't move' he though in his mind, Sousuke calculated immediately the distance and margin for error he had, the window of the attack, the positioning of the knife was lethally positioned; it wasn't on the voice box or the spine, but he could slash both and kill Theresa almost instantly, the quality of the blade however wasn't all that great, which gave Sousuke confidence in his next move.

"There you are you war minded Baka!" came the loud noise of another familiar person

"Kaname-San!" Theresa yelped in panic

Sousuke quickly used this moment as the punk and Theresa were both confused; lighting fast, he retrieved his handgun from behind him and took one randomly guessed point blank shot at the distance Tessa's neck and the hand of the punk. It felt like time was slowed down for only that time, the punk noticed the gun the moment it fired, reactively stabbing Theresa. But to no success, he didn't feel the weight of the blade sinking into the girl's skin; instead and at the same time, felt a sharp pain in his lower stomach surge.

The punk sounded like he was chocking as his grip on both Tessa and his pocket knife was realised. Tessa dropped and quickly jumped out of the way as the punk slumped to the ground with one hand holding the point of his body that felt the pain. From what Sousuke rightly assumed; the blade metal wasn't very high quality as it had completely shattered when the bullet pierced through the small knife. Considering the speed of the bullet it broke the blade and the knife and the bullet's remains were now in his lower abdomen or if he was right; only merely left a burn mark and some scratches.

"Tessa, are you alright?" Sousuke looked down as he approached the downed punk and helped his commanding officer up.

"I'm fine…but he…did you just?"

"No" He then turned to the punk on the ground "but as I had warned you, you could have prevented defeat had you simply complied, let it be a lesson for future reference"

Sousuke turned and directed Theresa to go to Kaname while he collected her thinks on the station platform. Tessa didn't like Sousuke ordering her around, but she knew it was in her own safety and he had justified the fact that Tessa was vulnerable without Sousuke or someone from MITHRIL to take care of her. Kaname just stood there completely confused; all she remembered was the punk on the ground was threatening to kill Theresa, and the next moment she was being helped up by Sousuke while the punk had been shot.

"Kaname-san…I'm sorry about all this" Theresa crashed into Kaname, she wasn't exactly crying, doing her best to suppress her feelings. Sousuke returned with a wheeled suitcase and a smaller handbag, notably Testarossa's property. Kaname gave a look to Sousuke, still no understanding of what just happened. Obliviously Souuske was saving Theresa, but was it a case where it was required to use force or was it him just over reacting? Kaname didn't have an appreciative view of the knife the punk was holding, so it looked like Sousuke shot him out of spite.

The trio left the punks as they were, someone would come by later and report this. They were all still alive anyway. But it wasn't their injuries that Sousuke was concerned about now, Sousuke spied at the point of where the knife was on Tessa's neck, even with the main blade gone, whatever was left was only able to leave shallow cuts from the punk's attempt at 'killing' the female commander.

To Sousuke, even a slight cut was considered a failure to him, the job he had was to protect his superior at all costs, he now knew in the after effect how dangerous his stunt was and that if he hadn't aimed right, he could've shot Theresa in the head; a quick but vain death. For now Sousuke sighed, both girls looked at him as Sousuke approached Tessa and asked her to lean her head to the right. Kaname noticed the wound as well and gasped slightly.

It was merely a cut, it wasn't life threatening and the only fear was if it left a mark on Theresa's white skin. Sousuke sighed again,

"I apologise for my crude and wreckful actions Te…commodore" he spoke finally,

Theresa was left with her heart dropping with hearing that word from Sousuke's mouth, she then immediately knew why he suddenly acted like this when she felt for herself the wound on her neck. Theresa was merely glad that Sousuke came to her rescue, a scratch was nothing but a side effect.

"Kaname, can you take her things, I'm just going to bandage this now"

"Oh…sure…" Kaname replied,

Kaname took the suitcase from Sousuke as he took other minute applying bandages from his mini medical kit continently located in his pocket of the jacket. Sousuke noticed that Theresa was trembling, but it was misinterpreted from being cold, it was merely the fear she still had in her.

"Here" Sousuke then took off his jacket and draped it over her body. It felt warmer, and somehow helped her calm down. The trio left the station, Sousuke carrying her carry bag while Kaname handled her wheeled back and Theresa walked on her own between the two.

"What happened?" Kaname finally asked,

"I had gotten off the station to go to Sousuke's place, but I kind of forgotten where it was…"

"Jeez...why didn't you just call us?" Kaname spoke up; Theresa blushed in embarrassment for not thinking of that.

"…Well, I wanted to try get there under my power, but then those guys showed up, they then chased me out of the station, but I decide to go get my luggage…then I was cornered…then Soususke came and got rid of two of the punks in a fight, then he shot their leader just before he stabbed me with the knife…"

"Are your crazy!" Kaname looked over to Sousuke "this isn't like William Tell; what would you have done if you hit Theresa!"

"I know it was irresponsible, and I know that my superior officers will have something to say about it, but I had to act fast" Sousuke replied "but fortunately, I managed to not fatally wound the commo…Tessa" Sousuke switched back to calling her by nickname

It felt kind of glad that he used her name, but it felt more that was because an old lady was eying them.

"Kananme, despite how it looks, I can trust Sousuke with my life" Theresa finally replied, interrupting their argument,

"But Tessa I…" Sousuke was cut off

"Sousuke" Tessa spoke as she turned before hugging him "it's only a scratch…don't blame yourself, and that's an order!"

The rather complex scene in front of the three followed for a few more seconds before she Souuske patted her head, Sousuke realised Theresa and picked up her carry bag again.

"Let's go…I have dinner waiting for you at the apartment…Tessa"

After all that had happened to her today, this piece of news was a relief to her. It was the signal that she could finally relieve herself of the duties of being commander of the MITHRIL west pacific fleet and be a normal person once again.

Location: Docking bay 2a, Merdia Island

Time: 20:21hrs (+10hrs GMT)

Date: March 11th, 2006

Because of the nature of the cargo onboard the submarine, MITHRIL had put on literally every spare hand to put up a security detail around docking bay 2a. To the clear majority of the personnel on the base; the contents of this small camber remained classified, only a few knew what was truly inside the chamber, and in itself, only a select few themselves knew the true nature of the what was inside the chamber.

For the moment, they couldn't do anything without the aid of a whispered, like the commanding officer of the base, whom was conveniently holidaying in Tokyo. Kalinin had already issued an order for a certain two SRT soldiers to go to Tokyo and recall the commodore. In the meantime, those select few that knew waited and feared the worse out of what these could these twin perfections could do. For the moment, Kalinin had visually confirmed himself one of two facts; they existed. The other was there was a remote chance, but they would be alive however, nothing indicated the fact they were alive except the bodies hadn't deteriorated.

As Kurz put it, they were merely sleeping beauties waiting to be kissed by the knights in shining armour. Of course there was a degree of concern to why they were put asleep in the first place. If they were indeed whispered, why did Russia get rid of them? Kalinin thought about his history for a moment before answering his own question. Russia must've feared that Germany would be able to capture the two girls and convince them to work for Hitler. The laboratory must've been quite close to Norway or somewhere for Stalin or whoever was in charge of the operation to order an entire submarine to be set afloat in the Kara Sea with the two girls inside.

The laboratory must've been bombed out, thus discontinuing on the whispered's experiments which would've proved time consuming and resource wasting. But in order to not have them captured, they were sent to sea and somehow preserved until the war was ended. But after the war, people must've forgotten about them, and so 60 years past until the present day when MITHRIL found them. Now, they were determined to meet them and awaken them from their six decade slumber.

Inside the submarine was a lone guard, URUZ 10 or Yang. Originally he had been assigned to guard while she was en-route to Souuske's apartment, but a followed direct order from the commander in charge of the west pacific fleet changed that. While no lights; all that illuminated the former crew quarters was the eerie glow of the two caskets containing the girls. Inside and underneath each girl was a strange mat that was formed fitted each girl, although from the looks of it, they were same mould. However, the mattresses glowed. An eerie light blue from each one, it couldn't have been a regular light.

Now that the ice had been removed, the entire coffin was now clearly describable. It was still a cylinder, or sorts. The glass was one clear panel of glass more wide then high, on the edge of the panel was some interesting inscribing. What appeared to be Latin or ancient Hebrew, the inscribing ended up being was one long sentence each side of the glass. The metal case was the weirder thing. It was not heavily nor was it weak, all over the top was again more inscriptions. They weren't understandable to anyone on the base.

The only people Kalinin knew could understand it was a commodore Testarossa and another whispered stationed with the Indian Ocean fleet.

"Attention solider" sounded the familiar voice of another SRT solider,

"Lieutenant Grouseaux, Sir" the young corporal saluted,

"Don't worry about that stuff Yang; at ease" the officer spoke, "I'm here to relive you of duty"

"Yes sir" Yang spoke as he lowered his rifle "so what do you make of this?"

Grouseaux turned to inspect the twin sleeping girls, their bodies silhouetted by the glowing mattress; it have them a deathly look when he looked at them in this state. Naked, frozen, and pale, he wasn't surprised if they were dead and this was actually their tomb. Even so, the mere fact the machines were still running and the fact their bodies weren't just bones left him to believe it wasn't. The only real mystery like so many others whom knew asked was; who were they and what were they doing here.

"I'm unsure, but whatever and whoever they are, they have a lot of explaining to do" Grouseaux leaned on the end of the casket and then looked down at something. "Did you have a look at this?"

On the end of each casket was a spiral like sentence that centered some kind of coat of arms or religious symbol, at the center was a name in several languages.

"Yea, I thought it was some kind of activation spell or something…" Yang joked half blankly "but it looks like the place for their tombstone"

"Indeed, it certainly looks like it" Grouseaux placed his rifle over his back and crouched down to read the inscription properly, it was Latin or ancient Hebrew, but as he blinked his eyes, it suddenly looked differently, he could understand it a if were plain English, certainly looked tht way. He started saying it allowed,

Here in eternity of time the daughters of the creator and first whispered. Born to service and maintain enforcement of the population of this soil and sea for the time remaining in an eternity. The life of white and black are kept within this casket to return to morality when the sons and daughters of the whispered have become one with their mother and father and creator.

White of Peace and eternity. Black of fear and time. The souls of perfection await to serve only the true keeper of justice.

'White and black' Grouseaux though, then as another moment past, suddenly boat shook. He grabbed his rifle and leveled it as the two caskets suddenly glowed gold around all the inscriptions. Yang and Grouseaux backed away from the coffins as they suddenly ejected steam or icy frost from sealed space between the glass and strange metal.

"Alert!" Yang yelled down the length of the submarine to another guard in the control room,

"Alert!" yelled the same guard upwards to the control tower, at the same time a siren went off echoing loudly throughout the docking bay.

From the dockside, commander Madukus and Kalinin were standing next to a table reading the maps found in the submarine when they head the alarm blaring. Immediately they dropped the old documents and ran with to 2 other SRT men to a waiting dingy. A quick minute later, they were succumbing down the ladder of the submarine and rushing towards the location of the coffins.

"What happened!" Madukus yelled,

"We don't know sir!" Grouseaux said as he continued to point his rifle at caskets "I looked at the inscription on the end, somehow I could understand it and then…this!"

Yang looked around the back end of the tubes to see that the pipes had all shut down.

"Sir the reactor isn't feeding power into this! They aren't in being frozen anymore"

Before they could react; the glasses suddenly let off another gush of, freezing cold steam, almost hitting Yang in the face. Instead it applied itself to the piping behind him; he turned to notice the blue ice covering the thing. Yang turned and tapped the thing with his rifle, surprised that the lead pipe suddenly broke apart like ice. The steam stopped gushing out of the two caskets and remained silent for a second. The two guarding SRT men, and two officers watched on as the mechanical noise of hydraulics lifted the glass off the two coffins, exposing the girls to the outside air for the first time in over six decades.

"URUZ one, URUZ ten, hold position" Kalinin barked their orders

Two more female PRT soldiers entered the room with rifles at the ready,

"Team ruby, stand down" Grouseaux order his troops

Commander Madukus stood on as he saw the white haired girl blink her eyes and look upwards, then over at the black haired girl whom was still asleep.

"Call a medic" he ordered to a PRT solider,

Yang approached the blacked haired girl with the gun till pointed at the ground. At the moment they tried to focus on the status of both girls. Unceasingly trying focus attention both as they starting moving their limbs and getting a feel for where they were. The white haired girl realised then where she was and looked over to her 'sister'

"They have finally found us" spoke the voice of the girl; in plain english, it was of the most angelic sounding, comparable to something softer then Theresa's voice. She then looked downwards, then noticing the people in the tomb, to the white haired girl's right was three men, two were armed with guns, while another looked like to be a superior officer. At the same time, the black haired girl saw to her left and to her silent surprise were two female soldiers and a older man, looking down at her body.

"Your right" spoke the voice of the black haired twin.

They lay down silently waiting for their captors to approach or say something, the white girl then lifted herself in sitting onto her bed, moving her body properly for the first time. Somehow not noticing she was completely naked, she scanned the room to see the six people in it. She then quietly looked down to her sister who was now also getting up.

"Do you speak?" the white haired twin spoke towards the group, before noticing the guns that were pointed at the ground, somehow expecting them to be pointed at her. Why did it seem these people though to require such weapons?

"Yes…we do" Commander Madukus was the first to speak, "We don't know how this happened…but your caskets opened and…"

The girl stood up for the first time and stared at the group, she noticed they were all military, something that hadn't changed since she went to sleep. She then noticed something weird about these people, all of them were different, one was Chinese, one was English, one women looked like she was from Russia, the other from America and the old man was defiantly Russian and the last person was from the middle east.

"Who are you?" she asked pointing at the British naval commander

"Commander Richard Madukus, MITHRIL west pacific fleet"

In the time of her thinking, the black haired twin had arisen and joined her sister staning at the end of the caskets. The stood completely bare and looked like they had died already, staring at the group of soldiers who started back in fear and awe. The black haired twin then noticed the absence of county patches, in place was another emblem.

"Which county is MITHRIL belonging to? The Soviet Union or Germany?"

"We do not belong to any county" Kalinin replied,

The silence strained the room immensely, Grouseaux looked around at his troops; they had their guns at the ready, they could tell the new PRT troops were scared witless and were trembling.

"PRT 22, 23 lower your weapons" he ordered,

The white haired girl saw on in what she believed was amazement as him and the three other troops slung their rifles over their backs. The black haired twin decided to ask the question;

"You are fearful of us, yet you do not open fire, why is that?"

The question was painful, and hard for everyone to answer. Madukus though in his mind how much he wished Tessa was still on base, one sight of her; maybe they would be helpful to cease this painfully frighting confrontation.

"It is our orders to not fire"

Both girls looked at each other before nodding, the look on the faces looked complex, as if they were expecting something wrong.

"What is the date?" they both asked

"March 11th, 2006 AD" Commander Madukus replied "you are in the same submarine we found you locked away in when we found you a day ago, you are at MITHRIL's west pacific fleet naval base, according to the information we found in the bridge; you have been asleep for 66 years, 2 months and 13 days…"

A/N: well sorry for the wait, but its finally airborne. I'm kinda hoping the final part works, given that I was trying decide if the girls should know where and when they were or if they should be confused like hell.

Anyway, keep reading and review and ill write as fast as I can
