Prologue Cont.
Time: 1200 Hour, July 21st of 2125
Location: Outside World; Headquarters of the Humanity Military Forces (HMF for short), Intelligence Room.
It was another usual day at the Intelligence Room of the HMF HQ, every intelligence officers are at their respective spots, working on the datas of the most recent incident.
"What was the exact time the cargo hoverplane disappeared? And where?" asked a frantic military officer.
"Sir, the incident happened 8 hours ago. The cargo plane had an encounter with a furious storm, the pilot reports that the engines are hit by lightning, just before the signals are lost. Last known location: southern Asahi." replied one of the intelligence officers.
Military Officer: "Great, 100 years in the future and we still haven't made a storm-proof aircraft. The STICK Army on the other hand..."
Omega E the Reader: Wait what? I do watch other films where humans are VERY much known to be able to adapt tech given to them. I mean check a look at Halo in which the Spartans' shields are modified using jackal shields as a template to make their energy shields. So what type of excuse do these guys have?
Lt Colonel Summers: In hindsight, that was an oversight on my part. The concept of reverse-engineering, while known to me, completely slipped my mind when I wrote this chapter back then. Sin it is.
Sin Count: 5
Intel Officer: "Sir, the disappearance of the plane has nothing to do with the STICK Army. The only energy sign was from that plane and nothing else, then with a large burst of energy, it simply disappeared from the radars. Not even residues are left."
Military Officer: "Large burst of energy?"
The military officer then turns to another Intel Officer. "Get me the STI. Tell him that it's going to be another assignment." he told the intel officer.
"Right away, general."
...
Location: Summers Estate, exact location unknown.
The Summers Estate was praised as the largest mansion in the world. It stands 500 meters tall and expands over 800 acres of land. It is placed on an island which the mansion's owner has yet to give a name.
Omega E the Reader: No it's not. The SDM plus Voile's has been expanded upon due to Sakuya's manipulation of space and time so they might be bigger.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Especially on the inside.
Lt Colonel Summers: It's the biggest in the OUTSIDE WORLD. But I'm not pulling the sin for this scene because I still grossly overexaggerated the size of the Summers Estate.

And at one room of the top floor was the mansion's owner himself.
"Yes, general. I'll be sure to take a look at the readings. I'll be bringing some of my men too. Thanks for the info."
Laid on his table are several objects, including the phone he just used, some documents, several rolled up blueprints, and a tag that reads "Lt. Col Jack Summers" with "Col Jack Summers" being scribbled off with black ink.
LT, as he prefers to be called, laid back on his chair, and hanged a lamp, "Why do people keep addressing me with honorifics? I told them every time that they can simply call me by name..." He leaned backwards, so that his head was resting on the wall behind him. "Registanian, Bevellan, Malkrantian, Chugokuan... Only the guys and girls at RAIDERS actually called me LT." Then he got up from the chair. "Then again, none of them thinks like any HMF soldiers. Especially not against an enemy that is aware of every possible combat tactics. Well, in that case..." He reached for an earpiece and put it on his right ear. The earpiece is designed to read the wearer's thoughts and transmit them as transmission to others, so as to minimizing the risk of outsiders overhearing the conversations or reading the speaker's lips.
Omega E the Reader: Wait what? What type of country names are those? They sound VERY dumb.
Lt Colonel Summers: This was meant to indicate that Fantasy Blitzkrieg is set in an AU. But in hindsight, that wasn't enough to avoid confusions, especially when no explanations are given for the alternate names. Sin it is.
Sin Count: 7
LT: Get the Turks. Also get my friends at RAIDERS. Tell them we are headed for our next assignment.
Omega e the reader: I still don't get why he calls his elite soldiers the Turks? Why not some other name besides calling them after Turkey's people?
Lt Colonel Summers: To be frank, I got the term "Turk" from Final Fantasy VII, but I should've realized that Turk is also the official demonym for the people of the real world country of Turkey.
Sin Count 8.
...
Time: 0800 Hour, July 22nd of 2125.
Location: southern Asahi, approx. 10 kilometers west from Mount Fuji; last known location of missing cargo plane; low altitude.
"The last known location of the missing plane was somewhere around here..."
Omega E the Reader: I still don't know why Japan is called Asahi anyways. It seems very dumb. Why can't it Japan called something cooler?
Lunatic Overlord 9000: Well Asahi DOES mean "Land of the Rising Sun". But that is just about the ONLY somewhat decent pick.
Lt Colonel Summers: I'm probably not the only writer to have called an alternate/fantasy Japan as Asahi. But being a somewhat overdone cliche, along with the other countries having names that looked lame in hindsight, this moment actually deserves TWO sins instead of one.
Sin Count: 10
Hovering at the site was a GA-Raid VTOL. It is built for both combat and transportation, has a wingspan of 75 meters. Each wing is carrying one double-barreled machine gun that fires .90 caliber rounds. This particular GA-Raid has a railgun attached under the cockpit, and it's side has a logo that reads "Summers Technology Industries".
Omega E the Reader: I kinda like this VTOL as it would have been an excellent boss fight. Minus one sin.
Sin Count: 9
"Sir, is it even necessary to bring the GA-Raider?" asked LT's right hand man.
LT replied: "You never know what's going to happen, so might as well bring as much firepower as you can."
LT flips a switch, setting the VTOL to autopilot.
LT: "So, what did you pack for this mission?"
Right Hand Man: "Let's see... Flashlights, Scouter's Goggles, several fully loaded Boomers, some portable mini-sentries, and two Doomsticks."
LT: "That is still nowhere near overkill, for the company's standard, anyways... Also, who else did you bring?"
RHM: "Your men, especially the Turks, there were also your friends from RAIDERS. They're all back there."
A voice spoke from the cargo bay. "Yo, Jack. How's it goin'?"
LT: *to RHM* "I guess David Fomes isn't the only one..."
RHM: "Just not those two civilian Raiders. They rejected your offer."
Then all of a sudden, the VTOL shook heavily as if it was hit.
David: "What the heck was that?!"
RHM: "Don't know, the engines simply malfunctioned!"
LT: "David, tell everyone to brace for a very rough landing!"
Omega e the reader: That's a lot of weaponry. It reminds me too much of how Gappy Stus would come prepared with a full survival kit and a fully charged phone when arriving to Gensokyo.
Lt Colonel Summers: I wanted to argue against this, except I have no idea how to put it without sounding like I'm defending the Gappy Stu trope. So sin it is.
Sin Count: 10
