[August 1, 1639]
From the bright, blue oceans of the Rodenius Sea, a fast-flying object was moving at a steady speed of Mach 2 to intercept two unknown targets that were flying about randomly near his homeland. With the pilot finally got to their distance; he spoke out through his radio.
"This is the J.A.S.D.F! You are violating our air space! Identify yourself!" From a distance, the Japanese pilot saw a familiar pair of T-50s. Processing what he saw, could that mean what he think it was?
"This is the R.O.K.A.F! You are also violating our Korean air space!"
"This is the P.A.F! You two are also violating our airspace as well near Manila but holy hellfire Mary! Where the hell did you guys go this past week?!"
Flabbergasted on what the pilot just heard. Command was going to have a huge field day over this incident.
[Okinawa]
"Man, this sucks." A group of U.S marines hung around in the MCAS Futenma where they still do their daily patrol and training but without their country nearby.
The remnants of the U.S military stood idle in their bases which they were unfortunately transported with the Japanese and morale was plummeting to an all-time low.
"Do you think we end up joining the Japanese since we're stuck in this godforsaken place?" A choir of groans came in the room when one of the marines made that suggestion; they weren't in a pretty good spot nor exactly in a good mood.
A portion of the 7th Fleet was getting irritated with Japan's shenanigans in the New World as the J.S.D.F was discussing the possibility of them integrating into the Japanese naval force after they amend their Article 9.
"Fuck no, I'm nearly finished with my contract and there's no way in hell I'm going through it again if Japan decided to extend our service which I would be pretty goddamn piss off about it."
Officially, they respectfully decline, but personally, there was no way in hell they were going to do it and a lot of them were vocally adamant about it for various reasons.
Some of the enlisted were in a permanent limbo state of stop-loss since their government didn't exist anymore which the Japanese weren't addressing that problem in full detail and admirals weren't going to waste their own resources as their logistics were cut off from Earth, not fully trusting the J.S.D.F or parliament to supply them of their military needs on time.
A lot of them were homesick, a lot of them didn't want to deal with the outside world since America wasn't there and a lot of them weren't sure of what to do next.
However, a miracle happened on the radio.
"Please respond! This is the C.N.F.K! We lost contact with Command and the rest of the 7th Fleet!"
"This is C.N.F.J! We read you loud and clear!"
[Manila, Philippines]
"Mr. James Adolpho sir! We got a problem!"
The vice president barged right into the president's office in a fit of panic along with sweat pouring from his brows.
The President of the Philippines stopped pressing his fingers for the eventual political fallout over the disappearance of their ally up north.
Consequently, China became a lot bolder than ever since their ally Japan randomly vanished from the face of the Earth, literally. The Chinese were putting a lot of pressure on him and hearing constant reports for an all-out invasion of Taiwan was almost imminent.
Worse than a virus ravaging the world or China's gluttonous ambitions, disastrous thunderstorms suddenly showed up in the Philippines that would certainly cost an indescribable fortune on repairing the already fragile infrastructure of his homeland, he looked up to his vice-president on the grave news he brought. After the heavy rain and thunder subsided, he prayed the natural disaster wasn't too devastating.
"What is it, Gabe?" Lending his ear to his partner Lenny on the worse possible news of China's accelerating aggression. However, that didn't happen.
"China, the U.S, everyone! They're all gone!"
"What?!" Baffled on how that happened yet grown skeptical if his second-in-command went completely loco. The vice-president dropped a folder that contained documents on their sticky situation.
[Seoul, South Korea]
"Our satellites took pictures of these strange continents near us and we discovered we aren't on Earth anymore." Read through the papers detailing the description of what happened after the thunderstorm, his advisor continued.
"Here, a picture was shown that the Republic of Korea is now currently an island which our country is right next to our two neighbors." Pointed where the Philippines and Japan were at, they were really way too close to his nation for comfort which might cause international disputes.
Hye looked up to his scientific advisor if she was pulling an elaborate prank on him but hearing the news and their supplies suddenly cut off, he wished she was pulling a tasteless prank.
"Yes Mr. Chung-Ho, we made contact with the Philippines as they were also transported with us during the random storms that appeared out of nowhere and most importantly we found out where Japan went." Hye frowned when his advisor mentioned where their rival went yet extremely thankful that they didn't have to deal with China's or the North's sheer aggression near their borders, better than nothing he supposed.
"This isn't going to be good for us especially for our nation's wellbeing. Everything is gone and we don't have any abundant resources to restart our economy." Stroking his head on what he should do next, there were a lot of unknowns that he didn't like.
The Korean economy would take a tremendous toll in the foreseeable future over the lack of trade and their flow of revenue from overseas was basically gone, making the plague that screwed up their logistics look like child's play than this horrible scenario. For a grimmer outlook, they'll possibly face massive unrest along with riots if they don't meet the public's needs and wants in time.
However, knowing two of Earth's nations were here and foreign lands to explore, this would mitigate some of the economic disasters if they play their cards right… or prolong the crisis much further.
But an unanswered question lurked in Hye's head, what was the Japanese doing here exactly after their disappearance?
"Reestablished contact with the Japanese and Filipinos; we're going to have a long meeting on what the hell just happened."
[Tokyo, Japan]
After pacifying the Lourians before they become a major pain in the ass, the Japanese Prime Minister was forming plans with the remaining nobles of potentially being an industrial powerhouse to ease their economic strains, a lot of things could go favorably for Japan if his country could spread their influence across the world including sweet trade deals.
Reviewing the invitation from Fenn to further tighten their relationship with the outside world and get to know more of other new countries here. Before he could formalize any ideas, a knock came on his door. "This is Yanagida, I got important information for you, sir."
"Come in." Granted permission, a well-suited man came to his office while suppressing shock that was eating away his usually stoic face.
"Mr. Yomoya, we got a lot of news that South Korea and the Philippines are here!" Eyes wide opened, he cocked his head at what he just heard. "What? How?!"
Grabbing his phone, he started to dial on confirming if they were indeed here and scheduling a possible meeting with his neighbors from Earth who also got magically whisked away here.
Fate sure got many funny ways to surprise them.
That's a wrap.
I got this idea from reading an NHS forum discussion by a fella named Mono KS on the possibility of South Korea and the Philippines joining up with Japan's shenanigans in the New World. I gotta' say, there's a bunch of things going for this fic'.
I read a rather quick synopsis of the original NHS, some parts that didn't really jog well with me as I pretty much going to change a lot of things here and there. Like Japan obliviously surprised that everyone practicing gunboat policy even though they aren't on Earth anymore and suddenly getting bullied over it? Well, no shit Sherlock. Don't even get me started with battleships and tourists.
I'll be adding some ideas from Summoning America. But a lot of tweaks since America isn't there to help them along making things a little bit more challenging especially for the Filipinos in the very start.
However, I'm not sure how often this is going to be updated to do many things happening in my life or sheer procrastination.
