Yuki's bedroom door was abruptly opened by an out of breath Takara.

"Problem… big… meeting… now…"

Both Yuki and Yuriko were shocked to see her barge in as she did. It was so unlike her character.

"Take a breather and tell us exactly what's wrong."

She took a minute to recollect herself.

"We've got a crisis on our hands."

Yuki's PDA ringed. That only happens if it's an emergency. She rolled over to her bedside and looked through the contents of the message. She didn't get to her position as the Supreme Commander if she panicked over big news like this, but it took her breath away for a moment. She got up and went over to her dresser. She traced her finger over the wall behind it, causing it to slide down and reveal a large tv screen.

"Given the situation, it's best we start the meeting asap."

Takara grabbed a nightgown from the dresser and draped it over her. Yuriko read the mood left the room.

Authorization required

"Takemikazuchi"

Accepted

The screen turned on, showing four others in their respective windows.

Kenji Tenzai

Naomi Shirada

Shinzo Nagama

Suki Toyama

"Commander, you're here. We can start."

Kenji said, in his usual demeanor.

"What will be discussed here must remain confidential. All the Imperial commanders here will not let anything said today slip."

Toyama announced before starting.

"About an hour ago, Emperor Yoshiro passed, due to unknown circumstances."

Everyone gave a moment of silence.

"We are currently investigating the cause of death and the perpetrators. Unfortunately, there haven't been any leads. Crown Prince Tatsu was among the first and few to find out. He's already planning to send our forces out to, in his words, decimate the western barbarians, and avenge the emperor."

"Then this is where it becomes troubling."

Yuki added.

"Yes. It would seem that the Crown Prince has already started to rout several of our own forces from us and rally under his banner." - Kenji

"Of course, we swore loyalty to the crown when we joined the military, but we must not forget the Code." - Shinzo

"But don't worry, commander, it's only us that knows you don't swear fealty to his highness. Not everyone joins for the same reasons, but it'd be troublesome if a leader doesn't share the same incentive as the troops they command." - Naomi

Yuriko sat on the sofa in the living room while the two had their meeting. It just occurred to her that she left her clothes behind and the only room with clothes was currently occupied with no chance of retrieval. She knew that this was important work to them, so she didn't want to even chance the slightest disturbance, even if she used her powers to stealthily grab something to wear. She had no choice but to wait it out. No one else is allowed to enter the commander's quarters unless given specific permission from the commander herself. She, Yuki, and Takara were all there. The only other person who's allowed is-

"Stay quiet."

Yuriko nearly yelped in surprise as a hand covered her mouth from behind and a man's voice whispered into her ear.

"They're currently in the middle of important business right now, so why don't we leave them to it?"

Before she could protest, she was carried up and out of the room. She now found herself in the hallway outside Yuki's room in the nude. Kyosuke took this moment to take a good look at her.

"It won't be long before they're done."

Yuriko wanted to cover herself, but Kyosuke wouldn't allow it.

"You know, I haven't gotten much attention from Yuki as of late. She's been busy with both work, and you."

He backed her up to the wall. He grabbed her breasts and gently massaged them, playing with her nipples now and then as he spoke.

"I'm just a little sex deprived right now, and there's a young, defenseless, naked maiden standing before me. So how about it? Want to help me out?"

He wasn't asking. Yuriko tried her best not to make any noise, but she knew how good his hands were.

"Looks like I don't need to wait for an answer."

His right hand slowly traced down her body, until resting on top of her groin. A gentle tap at first, then gentle rubs, then sticking his finger in.

"It's been some time since we've had our fun."|

He leaned in for a kiss, but instead nuzzled on her neck, further driving her wild with sexual tension.

"Yuki won't mind if I take you for myself first."

That was it. She pushed him away with her power.

"You can do what you want with me, but don't treat Yuki like that. She deserves better than you getting one over her."

If not for his relationship with Yuki, she would've taught him a very tough lesson. Kyosuke resigned himself and sighed.

"You always get defensive about Yuki."

"You should feel the same."

"I do, just not as obvious as you."

He gave her a headpat.

"That just shows how much you care. Good for you."

Yuriko felt a little relieved to know that he wasn't serious, or half as serious, or even partially. She still had her guard up, though.

"Still, your appearance is very taxing. You can't blame me for wanting to get a feel."

"Fine, but we can't disturb them."

"I know."

She leaned back into him as he continued fondling. That was all they did until Yuki and Takara were done.

"Good to see you two kept busy."

Yuriko was lying face down on the sofa, too tired to move.

"That aside, it's time."

Yuki, with her PDA, scrolled through several texts of information.

"We are currently on Red Alert, 3rd stage."

Yuriko turned her head and asked.

"Red Alert?"

"That means we are currently in a sudden dangerous situation and we need to be ready to deal with said situation. The third stage means we are in the most dangerous of all scenarios."

Yuki explained.

"In layman's terms, it's time for war."

Yuki had already changed into her uniform and was ready to head out. Kyosuke was ready to aid her as he's always done. Yuriko got up but was dragged away into the bedroom by Takara. After Yuki and Kyosuke left, Takara led her to the screen where Toyama was still on, where Kenji's was as well but was currently not on screen. Takara draped a towel over Yuriko's body just as Kenji returned.

"First things first, we know you're the real Yuriko." - Kenji

Yuriko subconsciously started to levitate everything around her upon hearing that fact. It was supposed to be a very big secret. But Takara reassured her and she calmed down.

"Sorry, but this was the only way when I realized what was going on."

"As Commander Takara says, a third party is intervening and you are the key link to them."

"Can you think of anything, anything at all, that comes to mind when it comes to your powers?" - Kenji

Yuriko thought about it, but was reluctant about bringing it up.

"There is one thing, but I don't like to talk about it."

"Please, Yuriko, this is important. If anything, what you say or don't say will depend on many lives, including Yuki's." - Takara

"When you put it like that… From time to time, I get this inner voice, not mine, that keeps saying I am Yuri over and over, as if trying to take over my mind. I don't know who this Yuri is, but his voice creeps me out and I've tried to ignore it the best I could, but I can't do anything about it."

Toyama searched on her computer and replied.

"Have you seen his face?"

"Um, bald, with a weird tattoo on his forehead, face like Lenin, with eyes that stare deep into your soul. Creepiest thing that no one should ever see. He's also wearing some spiked headband."

"Does he look like this?"

She brought up an image of what she described in a corner of the screen.

Refer to Yuri from Red Alert 2

Yuriko recoiled in shock upon seeing his face clearly for the first time.

"This confirms it. This man is responsible for manifesting your powers. This man nearly took over the world with his psychic powers, if it weren't for the Allies and Soviets forming a joint operation to take him down."

"I've never heard of this." - Yuriko

"That's because he doesn't exist in our timeline. Research has shown that he exists in a world where the Empire does not exist, and he became the enemy of mankind. He was a psychic commando, using powers of the mind to control his army. Thanks to the time machine intervention, the Empire exists, the Soviets and Allies are matched, and you are the replacement of him. You are Yuriko, the world's most powerful psionic commando, using the powers of your mind to destroy armies."

This was a lot for Yuriko to take in.

"Now that we know this man is directly involved, we know what course of action to take. Now, we have some bad news. But before that, you might want to cover up."

Toyama referred to Yuriko's lack of clothing. She shrieked and quickly covered up with her towel. It dropped earlier when she levitated everything in the room. Kenji sure seemed to enjoy the sight, but was quickly reprimanded by Takara and Toyama.

There was a major stirrup at the Imperial base in the Special Region.

Refer to the Red Alert 3 Empire of the Rising Sun intro

(The one where they're preparing for war)

Land, sea, and air units from all bases under the control of the Supreme Commander were all rallying to the Black Tortoise. But Yuki knew she couldn't just leave their business in the SR as is. With how things were progressing for the JSDF, she chose to speed things up by sending all she could to end their war.

Refer to RA3 Empire intro

(The one where they're invading)

Of course, this caused major confusion and chaos to both SR inhabitants and Japanese military and political forces. Yuki used clips from the Emperor's past broadcast to launch her own propaganda tactic. She played them through external loudspeakers from Floating Giga Fortresses to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Over the SR's imperial capital

Three Floating Fortresses flew over the city, ensuing a mass panic everywhere.

Citizens of the world, the Empire of the Rising Sun has risen

The day of our destiny has arrived

Sudden Transports disguised as carriages broke camouflage and released Imperial Soldiers from within. Tankbusters broke up from the ground and started heavy suppression on garrisons and checkpoints. Rocket Angels and Jet Tengus chased the enemy air units to the ground, maintaining air superiority. Steel Ronins surrounded the city outskirts and prevented anyone or anything from getting in or out. Shinobi made it to where Zorzal was holed up, making sure he didn't go anywhere.

"Our commander wants you. You will come with us."

The squad leader pointed his sword at him as he demanded him.

"You think you can-"

Before he could finish, the wall of his palace was destroyed, revealing the face of a King Oni. The Shinobi didn't wait for an answer as they disappeared into smoke. But the smoke knocked him out, including Tyuule who was at his side. The two of them were dragged to an armored transport to be taken back to JSDF jurisdiction.

While madness and chaos ensued, Yuki met with Itami in his hospital room, where he was recuperating from his trauma.

"You know, we might have to leave. It's a shame we couldn't get to know each other better."

Itami laid on his bed, staring at Yuki as she suggestively made her way towards him. She got up and straddled over him, holding a seductive pose.

"Um, Y-Yuki?"

She crawled closer and closer, until their faces were just a few inches away.

"Just shush and let me take charge."

She pulled the bed curtain over and forced herself on him. His muffles of shock and confusion were soon silenced as he accepted her boldness. But before he could get carried away, Yuki broke away. She leaned into his ear and muttered a single word.

"Terminal."

She left the room soon after, blowing a kiss before leaving. Itami couldn't believe what just happened. Did he really share a kiss with Yuki? But more importantly, she shoved something into his mouth when she kissed him. He spat out a small black device with a USB stick. He snapped out of it and looked around for a computer.

"Damn."

Itami got out of bed and rushed out of the room. Yuki was nowhere in sight, even though she just left seconds ago. He found the reception desk where he demanded to use their computer. But before he could receive an answer, he pushed a receptionist out of the way and plugged in the device. The screen was soon filled with information about Psychic abilities. The dangers and implications about it, counters and weaknesses, strategic value, and so on. A dossier on Yuri was one of the main folders. Just as he was about to access more, he was soon apprehended by hospital security staff, and the stick confiscated. Meanwhile, back in the SR, there was more chaos than ever recorded in human history. JSDF higher ups demanded answers for the ERS' actions, but Yuki didn't have to answer to them. If she felt like it, she could rid them from the face of the Earth, but she didn't have the time or patience for that. She had to make haste, otherwise her plans would fall apart and any chance of fixing everything in one fell swoop would go up in ashes.

These are not the A/N you're looking for. Move along.
