Outskirts of Washington DC USA
Flying Officer Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen
05:14 local time
The group had been walking for hours. They hadn't slept at all since they started their mission in DC yesterday; all of them were dog tired. However that being said, Eila could easily tell that everyone was wide awake and in high spirits because of the liberation of DC. Hell even Sandman let a brief smile slip a few times during their walk to the extraction point. Eila looked next to her and gazed upon Sanya who despite all of the sweat and dirt that covered her uniform and face, still looked as beautiful as ever. Sanya smiled to her and spoke.
"Hey what is up?" She asked Eila in her silky smooth voice. Every time that Sanya spoke to Eila it just made her heart melt. Eila smiled back to her girlfriend.
"Oh it's nothing; anyways so what do you think will happen next in this world; do you think there will be peace talks with the Russians?" Eila asked Sanya who thought for a moment then nodded.
"Yeah I think that now that the Russian invasion force has been defeated, they will try to sue for peace. In the mean time I would imagine that General Shepherd will move heaven and earth to try and find Makarov and when he does I am guessing that the Task Force will be the ones he sends after Makarov and his henchmen." Sanya replied to Eila who nodded. Eila thought for a moment, how she would love to have Makarov in her sights, all of the others that she had killed over the last two days had been in self defense more or less and that was still hard to stomach; however with Makarov Eila felt that she would have no problem looking him in the eyes and putting a bullet through his brain.
"Yeah I hope so I want to finish this war and bring Makarov to justice. But more importantly I want to find out how he has been doing what he has been doing… if you know what I am talking about." Eila said to Sanya. Sanya looked confused for a moment before realizing what Eila was referring to, and then she nodded.
"Yes I would like that question to be answered as well. But even if we don't get an answer from him as long as he is been put to justice then I can sleep soundly at night." Sanya said to Eila who nodded in agreement. Eila saw that they were approaching a building of some sorts; it looked like a bus stop or something. On the top of the building a big sign says Grey Dog Station; and it appeared deserted from the outside.
"Alright people this is where we are supposed to meet the extraction team they should be here in a few hours but we need to make sure this location is secure. Fan out and search the building." Sandman said to the rest of the Task Force in a whispered voice. Everyone nodded and raised their weapons. Sandman gestured for Frost, Hanna, Perrine and Erica to flank to the right of the building. Then he gestured for Grinch, Lynnette, Commander Minna and Major Sakamoto to flank to the left. Eila and Sanya followed the rest of the group in and searched the building. The lobby was deserted just a few benches and a counter where people would go to buy their tickets. To the right was a stairwell that led to a second floor. Sandman pointed to Eila and Sanya and then pointed to the stairs. He wanted the two of them to search the top floor. Eila and Sanya nodded and went up stairs. They swept their weapons from side to side scanning for any targets; but all they were greeted by was an empty restaurant called Burger Town which looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a year. Eila gestured for Sanya to check the restrooms for anyone while Eila checked behind the front counter of the burger joint. No one was there; Sanya emerged from the restroom and shook her head.
"Room clear." Eila said to Sanya who sighed in relief.
"Thank goodness I honestly didn't want to come up against any Russians here." She told Eila who nodded in agreement.
"Yeah I think I have had enough fighting for a while; hold on a sec I am going to tell Sandman that the top floor is clear." Eila told Sanya who nodded. Eila walked halfway down the stairs and looked to Sandman who was with the rest of the group. "Hey Sandman the top floor is clear." Eila said to Sandman who nodded to her.
"Good it is clear down here as well. All right well everyone gather around I want to say a few words." Sandman told the rest of the group. Eila went upstairs to Sanya who was waiting for her.
"Well is it clear downstairs as well but Sandman wants to speak with everyone." Eila told Sanya who lifted an eyebrow.
"Oh really I wonder what he has to say to everyone?" Sanya replied. Eila shrugged; Sanya began to head towards the stairs when Eila grabbed Sanya by the wrist and wrapped her arm around her waist stopping her in her tracks. "Huh what is it Ei…" Sanya was saying before Eila cut her off with a deep kiss. Eila's lips met Sanya's velvety smooth lips and her tongue caressed Sanya's tongue. Despite the initial surprise of the kiss Sanya's kiss became as passionate as her lover's kiss; Sanya wrapped her arms around Eila and pulled her in closer so their bodies pressed up tightly against each other. After a good minute and a half Eila pulled away from the kiss.
"That was just a little taste for what I have in store for you when we get back to base." Eila seductively told Sanya who blushed and smiled.
"Well I guess our EVAC better hurry up because I might not be able to wait that long." Sanya said to Eila who smiled back at her.
"Oh trust me I have a lot in mind that we can do." She told Sanya with a lustful grin. "Anyway well let's go down stairs we don't want someone to come up and see us embracing each other." Eila said to Sanya who nodded. They let go of each other and headed down stairs. When they reached the ground floor everyone had assembled and Sandman lifted and eyebrow at them.
"Uh what took you so long?" Sandman asked Eila and Sanya who shrugged.
"Oh nothing anyway so you wanted to tell us something?" Eila asked him who nodded to her.
"Yes I just wanted to say to everyone that we are expecting are EVAC units to arrive at around 07:30 or so. They are going to be some APCs because apparently most air assets are tied up trying to EVAC the injured and civilians in the city. So in the mean time get some chow, or rest while we wait. Oh and everyone I just wanted to say that was some outstanding work out there I couldn't be more impressed with your efforts out in the field then I am now." Sandman told the Task Force who all gave him their appreciation to the compliment. Eila thought to herself that maybe Sandman wasn't as much of a grouch as she thought he was.

Flight Lieutenant Charlotte "Shirley" Yeager
05:31 local time
After Sandman's unexpected speech on how well he thought the witches performed in battle the Task Force had dispersed and began to form into their own little groups. Francesca was at Shirley's side and she looked a hundred and ten percent better than she did the previous day. She had a smile on her face and was full of energy. Shirley smiled at her little companion who had finally gone back to her old self.
"Hey Francesca how would you like to see if we can get a drink up at the Burger Town up stairs?" Shirley asked her.
"Awesome I would love a good soda or something!" Francesca beamed to her.
"Alright well let's take a look to see what we can find then." Shirley replied. They headed upstairs and looked around. In the corner of the room there was a vending machine. Shirley walked up to it and saw that it was filled with various soft drinks of indeterminate flavors. Shirley looked and saw that the vending machine was out of power. Shirley thought for a moment and grabbed her rifle from off her back. "Stand back Francesca." Shirley said to the young witch who stood out of the way. "Open Sesame." Shirley said as she smashed the butt of her gun into the machine smashing the glass open. Shirley used her rifle to clear some of the glass still hanging onto the machine away and pulled out a bright red can with Kola written in big white letters. "Here I think this is soda try it." Shirley said to Francesca who took the can and popped the top of it open. She took a sip and smiled.
"Yum this tastes a lot like that Coke drink back in our world; well it's not as sweet as Coke but it still tastes really yummy." Francesca exclaimed. Shirley smiled and nodded. She pulled out three more sodas and began to walk down stairs. She saw that by a bench in the middle of the room Grinch, Sandman and Truck were all chatting about something. Shirley walked over to them and smiled.
"Hey you guys I thought you might want a drink." Shirley said as she handed out the sodas to the three Delta Force commandos.
"Awe thanks little lady I could use a good soda." Truck said to her. Shirley waved it away.
"Ah it was nothing." She told them and then thought for a moment. "Hey where is Frost I thought he would be with you guys?" Shirley asked them; then Grinch spoke.
"Oh he is with Hanna right now over there." Grinch pointed to the left and Shirley saw that Frost was sitting next to Hanna on a bench facing outwards onto the street. Shirley frowned; Frost was interesting to her, he was handsome, kind and no slouch in battle; but at the same time it appeared that the 'Great Star of Afrika' had sunk her talons into him and decided that she wanted Frost for herself. Shirley had been in this kind of a situation before back in her world and it didn't end well for her; Shirley didn't like competition when it came to romance she had been hurt more than once because of it. Sadly unless something drastic happened Shirley would have to write Frost off as just a friend and nothing more. Shirley then looked to Trudy who was talking to Erica about something. Perhaps the situation with Frost was for the best then. Shirley sighed and then went to head up stairs to grab more drinks for everyone.

Major Mio Sakamoto
05:45
Mio and Minna sat alone in the far left corner of the bus stop away from the rest of the Task Force. It was not that they didn't want to be around the other members of the Task Force it was just that they wanted to have some alone time away from prying ears.
"So Minna do you think now that we helped Shepherd retake DC that he will let us use the teleporter thing to get back to our world?" Mio asked her commanding officer and lover who thought for a moment.
"I hope so but I think he will ask us to do more for him before he lets us use it." Minna replied to Mio who nodded. Yes it did seem like something Shepherd would do. The American General would probably want to get every last bit of use he could from the witches before he let them go home. Well it is what Mio would do if she was in his situation.
"Yes I suppose that you are right well I just hope we don't have that many more battle to fight here." Mio responded; just then Shirley came up to them with two brightly colored cans.
"Hey you two I don't mean to interrupt but I figured you could use a good drink." Shirley said to them. Mio and Minna smiled to the Liberion witch who smiled back.
"Of course we would love a drink." Minna replied to Shirley who chuckled and handed her a blue can.
"Here you go Commander this is a really sweet flavored energy drink whatever the hell that is." Shirley said to Minna who smiled and gratefully took the drink. Then Shirley handed Mio a green can. "Hey I know it's not regular tea but this is some kind of iced green tea I think you might like it." Shirley said to Mio. Mio opened the can and took a sip. It tasted just like the tea she drank back in Fuso well colder but still better than nothing.
"Thank you Shirley it is delicious." Mio replied to Shirley who smiled.
"Hey no problem well I will give you two your privacy back I will talk to you later." Shirley said to them as she turned and began to walk away. Minna then turned to Mio.
"Hey Mio so do you know what day tomorrow is?" She asked the eye patched Fusan witch who nodded.
"Yes I do; you didn't think I had forgotten about our anniversary did you?" Mio replied. Minna chuckled.
"Well I hoped you hadn't its too bad though because I had your gift waiting for you in my room back in Romagna." Minna replied.
"Well I am sure you can make it up to me tomorrow." Mio said with a seductive grin on her face. Minna gave Mio a sly grin and nodded.
"Oh I am sure I can think of something that you will enjoy quite a bit my dear." Minna replied, Mio blushed as she thought of what that could mean. Minna definitely knew what she was doing in bed, all of those erotica books she read in her free time really must have taught her a few things that Mio always enjoyed. Minna smiled "Careful you might want to save yourself for tomorrow because trust me you will want to be focused when I give you your new present." Minna teased her.
"I can't wait my love." Mio told her. Mio restrained herself she desperately fought the urge to lean in and kiss her lover. Mio then thought back for a bit.
"Hey Minna do you remember the night you told me you loved me?" Mio asked her. Minna beamed back at her.
"Of course I remember it like it was yesterday." She replied. Mio thought back for a bit to the best night of her life.
Flashback
Mio Sakamoto knocked on Minna's door and stepped in. Minna looked back at her and looked surprised; standing there in the moonlight in her seductive red dress made Minna look absolutely breath taking.
"That was an excellent performance. You really have a lovely voice." Mio told her commander who smiled at her.
"Thank you." was all Minna said. Mio stood looking out the window staring at the English Channel. They stood in silence for a few minutes.
"So why did you call me here tonight Minna; what is this about?" Mio asked her CO who stood silently staring blankly out the window. After a few seconds she spoke.
"When I lost Kurt I swore that I would never love again. I never wanted to feel the pain of losing someone I loved to this war a second time. But I broke my own promise." Minna told Mio who was confused by this statement what did she mean by it. Minna then turned to Mio and knelt a bit and pushed her dress aside. Mio saw on her leg a holstered PPK, Minna drew the pistol and aimed at Mio.
"Minna… what is this about?" Mio asked her confused by her commander's erratic behavior.
"I saw what happened today. During the battle with the Neuroi your shield failed. If you go out into battle again you'll die." Minna said to Mio with as stoic a tone as she could muster.
"So you decided to kill me yourself then? How paradoxical and very unlike you Minna." Mio replied and Minna began to cry, tears glistening in the moon light.
"I can't lose you Mio… you… you mean too much to me." Minna stuttered as she spoke. Mio took a step closer to Minna they were only a few meters away from each other. "Stop…don't…don't come any closer to me or I'll…I'll" Minna tried to speak. Mio dove forward and pushed her gun down.
"Minna I have to fight it is my duty… but I promise you that you won't lose me." Mio told Minna who began to sob. Mio whipped a tear from Minna's eye. "It's alright I am here for you." Mio told her. Minna looked up at her tears still in her eyes.
"Oh Mio." Minna sobbed. Then Minna did something that Mio didn't see coming. Minna dropped the pistol wrapped one of her arms around Mio's waist and pulled her in and planted a deep kiss upon her lips. At first Mio was shocked at this gesture. Mio had never been kissed before she never had a lover of any kind before. Mio stood in shock for a few seconds as Minna's tongue forced its way inside of her mouth, it felt good like a sensation that Mio had never felt before in her entire life. The tender lips of her commander were like the softest pillow and the sweet taste of cherry flavored wine was on her tongue. Mio thought to herself that what was happening was wrong she was a Fusan warrior she had no time for romance. But then she suppressed her inner protests and wrapped her arms around Minna and began to return the kiss. They stood there in the moonlit room for several minutes kissing tenderly and passionately. After what seemed like both an eternity and an instant Minna pulled away. "Mio I… I love you I have for a long time." Minna confessed to her Mio was stunned Mio had always considered herself unworthy of love; she was just a weapon to be used on a battlefield. But Minna her friend and her commander loved her. Mio had always had feelings for Minna that she couldn't understand something that compelled her to want to be by Minna's side as much as possible was it love that she felt for her? Yes it was she knew it as much as she tried to deny herself before Mio loved Minna as well more than anything more than life itself.
"Minna I love you to I want to be by your side as more than just a fellow officer I want to be…. To be… I want to be your girlfriend Minna more than anything." Mio confessed to Minna who through tearful eyes smiled at her and leaned in and planted another kiss on her lips.
Present Day
"It was funny that was my first kiss that night." Mio told Minna who smiled at her.
"If it makes you feel any better you were the first women I have ever kissed; and also you are the only person that I have… been with." Minna replied. Mio smiled. She remembered their first time together after Mio had been shot down and in a coma for a few days. Minna had never left her side and when she awoke from her coma Minna wrapped her arms around Mio and gave her a kiss that only ended after they had undressed each other and began to make love.
"You know I honestly was surprised that you were never with Kurt you dated him for longer than we have dated." Mio said to Minna. Minna looked down.
"After you were shot down all I could thing about was how I didn't want to lose you and that I would give anything for you to make it through the night. Kurt and I wanted to wait until we were married before we had sex and initially I wanted to wait until we married but after that day; I realized that the profession that we are in, we could die at any time. So I told myself that I would love you like every day was our last. So when you woke up all I felt was happiness and love for you. That is why I gave myself to you." Minna said the last part with a smile. Minna was genuinely happy with Mio happier than she had been in a long time. Mio thought to herself one day she would marry Minna and they could live happily ever after.

Flying Officer Erica Hartmann
06:11 Local Time
Erica and Trudy were sitting on some chairs in the middle of the room across the way from Perrine, Yoshika and Lynne who were all talking to each other. Erica and Trudy had been discussing the war and the possibility of going back to their world when Shirley showed up with some drinks in her hands.
"Hey you two I brought some drinks for you guys." Shirley said as she thrust a bright pink can into both Erica and Gertrude's hands.
"Ah thanks Shirley." Erica said to Shirley.
"Yes thank you very much for the drink Charlotte." Gertrude said to her.
"Hey no problem oh and Trudy I made sure I got a drink for you made with real sugar." Shirley said to Gertrude who looked confused.
"Huh why did you do that?" She asked Shirley who grinned at her.
"Because I know how much you like sweet things in your mouth." Shirley chuckled. Gertrude went bright red from embarrassment.
"Shirley that is… that is highly inappropriate for you to say." Gertrude stammered. Shirley gave Trudy a sly grin and said.
"Not if it is true." Shirley playfully claimed. Gertrude looked down at the ground her face flush with embarrassment. Shirley smiled at her handy work and turned around. "I will catch you two later I am going to get some drinks for all of the others." Shirley told them.
"Alright thanks again for the drink." Erica said to Shirley.
"Yes thanks for the drink." Gertrude practically whispered. Charlotte turned around and smiled then walked away. Erica noticed that Gertrude watched Shirley as she was walking away, and then turned to Erica who had an ear to ear grin on her face. "Wha… what is it?" Gertrude asked her.
"You know I have noticed that you and Shirley have been a lot nicer to each other since that whole jet striker incident went down." Erica claimed.
"What about it?" Gertrude responded nervously.
"Well, I have noticed that a couple of times in the middle of the night when you thought I was asleep you snuck out of our room and how it always seems like when Shirley disappears for a while you mysteriously vanish as well so has anything happened between you two?" Erica asked Gertrude whose face managed to get even redder.
"What do you mean I totally haven't slept with Shirley eleven different times!" Gertrude exclaimed. Erica was surprised she honestly didn't expect that.
"Um I didn't say you did." Erica replied. Gertrude looked stunned then she looked down at her lap.
"Crap." Trudy whimpered. Erica grinned.
"So something did happen then?" Erica asked Gertrude who looked away trying to not answer the question. Erica got up and put her hands on Gertrude's lap and looked her in the eye. "Tell me I want details." Erica demanded playfully.
"Well ok but you have to promise not to tell anyone ok?" Gertrude replied. Erica nodded quickly. Gertrude leaned in and started to whisper "Ok so after that whole jet striker fiasco I had to peel potatoes as a punishment. There were so many of them I was peeling them for hours. Well night had fallen and I was getting really tired then out of nowhere Shirley shows up with a potato peeler and asks if I need a hand. I told her she could do what she wanted I could care less. So she sits down and starts peeling potatoes with me. Shirley then starts to tell me that she was the one who fished me out of the water the first time the striker malfunctioned and that she hadn't left my side for days until Minna demanded that she get some rest. I told her that I was really surprised that she cared that much. Then she told me that after I had passed out and the striker was out of control she was terrified that I would be killed by it and how she had never been that scared in her life when she thought she wouldn't be able to catch up to me in time to safe me. I asked her why she felt that way and the next thing I know we are kissing and then we are in the common area pealing our clothes off before we had sex on the couch." Gertrude confessed to Erica who was surprised by Gertrude's story but still enjoying the heartwarming tale. That being said she still felt like she should tease Gertrude a bit.
"Ew gross I sleep there some times." Erica teased. Gertrude looked embarrassed.
"Hartmann you are supposed to be supportive." Gertrude protested. Erica laughed.
"I am, I just like to tease you. So is Shirley your girlfriend now?" Erica asked Gertrude who blushed.
"Well not exactly." She replied then Erica nodded.
"Oh I see so she is your fuck buddy then." Erica stated. Gertrude waved her hands in protest.
"No it is nothing like that we aren't just fuck buddies." Gertrude stammered.
"Well if you are not in a relationship but you are having sex that means you are fuck buddies." Erica bluntly stated to Gertrude who looked a little ashamed of herself. "Well do you love her?" Erica asked Gertrude who looked away.
"I don't know, maybe." Gertrude responded which just annoyed Erica.
"Bullshit do you love her?" Erica asked again then Trudy nodded. "Ok good have you told her how you feel?" Trudy shook her head. "Ok well have you at least asked her to be your girlfriend?" Erica asked her.
"Yeah but she told me that she didn't want to ruin what we had together so she wanted to just stay like we are now." Gertrude told her. Erica huffed.
"Are you ok with that?" Erica asked her.
"No." Gertrude replied. Erica nodded and got serious.
"Ok this is what you need to do. You need to tell Shirley how you feel and that you want to be in a relationship. If you keep going like you are now then she is just going to think of you as a booty call and your relationship with her won't get off the ground, she will just think of you as some slut who puts out for her." Gertrude winced at the last part. Erica thought to herself that it might be harsh but it is true. "Trude you don't want to be like Hanna fucking everyone in sight you should settle down and be in a stable relationship with Shirley especially if you love her. So what I want you to do is ask her on a date a real one not some excursion to a motel so you can fuck like rabbits." Erica said to her.
"Well I don't know. Where would I even take her? I have never been on a date before." Gertrude confessed to her.
"Take her to a movie or to dinner, maybe take her out dancing or to a bar and share some drinks. Just talk and get to know her better do that and I guarantee that Shirley will think of you as more than someone she sleeps with." Erica said to Gertrude who nodded.
"Well what if she doesn't want to be in a relationship even after I take her on a few dates?" Gertrude asked her.
"Then dump her ass. If she doesn't want to date you after you pour your heart out for her she isn't worth it." Erica bluntly said to her. Gertrude looked away and avoided eye contact with Erica who sighed. "Look Trude I am your friend and I only want what is best for you. I honestly think you have a shot with Shirley but you need to put the effort into it you have to make her feel the same way about you as you do about her got it?" Erica asked her. Trude looked up at her and nodded.
"Yeah I got it I will tell her how I feel when we get back to base and as soon as we can I will take her out dancing; I think that is something Shirley would like to do." Gertrude said to Erica who smiled at her.
"Good, you know you are a hell of a catch I am sure you and Shirley will make a great couple." Erica told Gertrude who smiled back at her. Erica thought to herself that she needed to make sure everyone was happy and in a good relationship no one deserved to be alone. Erica thought to herself about the Irony of that last thought as she planned on setting up her best friend with the girl that Gertrude loved.

Sergeant Yoshika Miyafuji
06:34 local time
Yoshika, Lynne and Perrine were all sitting around a cluster of chairs that faced each other. They had been laughing and joking about nothing in particular they were just all happy to be alive. Shirley had come up to them a few minutes earlier and given then all some soft drinks. Yoshika looked at her canned tea it was really good despite the fact that it was not brewed fresh. Yoshika looked to Lynne as she was talking to Perrine. Yoshika thought to herself about what Lynne meant when she asked if Yoshika just wanted to be friends with her. Yoshika herself was not sure about what she really thought about Lynne, was she just her friend or did Yoshika have deeper feelings for her. Lynne had been the first friend she had made in the 501st and had been there throughout all of the hard battles they fought in Britannia against the Neuroi. Any time Yoshika had felt sad about whatever was going on Lynne had been there for her. Then there were those strange dreams she had about Lynne, ones where they were… they were having sex; in those dreams they were always so vivid she felt Lynne's breasts and they felt so soft almost like they were real and Lynne's tongue... Yoshika got red in the face from embarrassment as she thought about that last part. Yoshika wasn't even sure she liked girls at first but after being around Lynne she started to be attracted to other women especially western women. Yoshika looked down at Lynne's breasts that were obscured by her 'Kevlar' whatever the hell that was. Then Yoshika noticed that both Perrine and Lynne were staring at her.
"Oh I am sorry what was that I am a little out of it right now." Yoshika replied nervously. The others looked at her.
"Oh we were just wondering if you wanted to go see a movie with us when we get back to base. I heard from Grinch that they have a movie theater there and we were discussing what kind of movie we would see if we decided to go." Lynne said to Yoshika. Wow that was a close one I hope they didn't notice me staring at Lynne's bosom Yoshika thought.
"Oh sure I would love to go to a movie with you guys." Yoshika said to them. Perrine nodded.
"Ok do you have any preference for the type of movie you want to see?" Perrine asked Yoshika. She thought for a moment.
"How about a western I always wanted to learn more about Liberion cowboys." Yoshika replied.
"That would be interesting the Wild West was a fascinating time." Lynne replied. Perrine snorted.
"Please what could be interesting about a bunch of brutish men riding around on horses shooting each other." Perrine stated to the group.
"Well what type of movie would you like to go and see then Perrine?" Yoshika asked.
"Why a romance of course." Perrine replied.
"Ok Lynne do you have any suggestions or do you want to see a romance movie to I certainly would not mind." Yoshika asked her best friend who smiled and nodded.
"I would love to see a good romance movie." Lynne stated.
"Ok then it's settled we will go see a romance movie when we get back to base." Perrine said.
"Yeah that will be really fun. Hey Perrine you should ask if Frost would want to come with us; I have noticed that you two seem like you have become really good friends." Yoshika said to Perrine.
"Right well I don't want you to get the wrong idea I am a lesbian so we are just friends." Perrine replied.
"Really you don't like men?" Yoshika asked.
"Well not romantically I don't mind having some more civilized ones as friends, but that is just it as friends nothing more." Perrine stated. Then Perrine blushed. "Um do you guys like men? I mean it's not really my business I am just curious." Perrine asked them. Yoshika nodded.
"No its fine, I like men, but I like girls too I guess I don't have much of a preference." Yoshika stated. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed Lynne smile for an instant before blushing.
"Yes I do like some guys but I usually prefer girls these days." Lynne stated to Perrine.
"Ah I see if you don't mind me asking what is it like to like both sexes?" Perrine asked them Lynne raised an eyebrow.
"Um it's the same as liking only one sex just because I like both men and women doesn't mean I will sleep with anything that moves I just happen to be romantically attracted to people of both sexes." Lynne said to Perrine who nodded.
"Ah I see I have always wondered what it is like to like both genders, I honestly for a while thought that people who were you know bisexual were… well like Hanna to put it bluntly." Perrine told them.
"Wait what do you mean like Hanna?" Yoshika asked Perrine.
"I am sure you will find out at some point." Perrine simply replied. Yoshika scratched her head what the heck could that possibly mean.

Flight Lieutenant Hanna Justina Marseille
06:47 local time
Hanna and Derek had been talking for quite some time now. Derek was really interested in what the war back home in her world was like. So she told him about the Neuroi and the Joint Fighter Wings. She told him about how she met Rommel and Patton in North Afrika and how she called Montgomery ball less faggot because he wanted to leave some civilians behind to the Neuroi. That apparently really got his interest.
"So Hanna like I noticed that when we saw the mass graves you freaked out and went berserk and you called Field Marshal Montgomery a fag because he wanted to leave civilians behind, so if you don't mind me asking is there a particular reason civilians dying is a hot button issue for you?" Frost asked her Hanna pulled out her Havana cigar and lit it up. She offered it to Frost but he shook his head.
"Well I guess I just have this knee jerk reaction that when I see people in danger who can't protect themselves I just need to rush in and help them. What I saw those Orussians doing to those people in DC massacring them, dumping them in ditches I just lost it. The strong shouldn't pick on the weak ever it's about the most cowardly thing you can do in my opinion. If you are so tough you should pick on someone who can fight back. Do you not have a problem with civilians dying or something?" Hanna asked Frost who shook his head.
"Of course I do, innocent people dying is the worst part about war. But with everything I have seen in Afghanistan I have… I don't know become numb to it." Frost told her. Hanna lifted an eyebrow. She was pretty good about reading people and she could tell that he did have a problem with civilians dying.
"Really what happened in Afghanistan?" Hanna inquired. Frost sighed and took off his mask revealing his handsome face and sandy blonde hair. Damn she wanted to fuck him so badly.
"Well when I was still part of the regular army my unit was deployed to Kandahar Province. In addition to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda operating in the area, there was a low grade ethnic civil war between two groups in the territory. Every day my unit got a call that some village got destroyed or some I.E.D. blew up a local kid. I remember one day over the summer we got a call that there was a group of armed tribesmen in pickups heading to a nearby village. My unit went to investigate. By the time we got there the gunmen had murdered every man women and child in the village. They chopped their heads off, cut unborn babies out of their mother's womb, burned homes and…" Frost paused for a second to collect himself. "And raped the young women before killing them." Frost took another deep breath. "Well needless to say we opened up on the militants killed all of them burned their corpses and left. We couldn't risk giving the victims a proper burial the militants were known to booby trap bodies with I.E.D.s so we left them there." Frost told her. Hanna had seen a lot of shit in her time but that was a lot even for her. Hanna didn't think she would have been able to keep her calm if she had been in that situation.
"Wow that was really something." Was all Hanna could say. Frost nodded. Hanna decided to change the topic. "So Frost I heard that you were orphaned when you were young." Hanna said to him.
"Really who told you that?" Frost asked her. Hanna smiled
"Oh that little Fox in our unit told me." One that I need to pin down and fuck her brains out. Hanna thought to herself that that feisty little fox and that cute little black cat of hers would be great in bed. Hanna then noticed Frost raised an eyebrow. "Eila told me." Hanna told him.
"Ah I see well yeah I am an orphan I lost both of my parents in a car accident when I was really young." Frost told her.
"So where did you grow up then? Did you move in with any relatives?" Hanna asked him. Frost shook his head.
"No both my parents were only child and my grandparents had passed away, so I became a ward of the state and I was sent to an orphanage run by the Catholic Church. I know its weird my dad was British and my mom was from Finland so I probably wasn't Catholic when I was with them but I ended up in Saint Joan of Arc Orphanage in Alaska of all places. For the next nine years I spent there under the ever watchful eye of Sister Elizabeth. She had a rough exterior but I could tell she was a big softy on the inside." Frost told her. Hanna chuckled.
"Well what did you do when you were in the orphanage?" Hanna asked him.
"Well not much really. I went to church a lot but I guess that comes with the territory. When I was fourteen though Sister Elizabeth recommended me to Sergeant York Military Academy; she asked me if I wanted to go and enlist. At first I wasn't sure but then Sister Elizabeth told me the military could give me the family I never had and would make an upstanding citizen out of me. So I agreed to go to the military academy and spent my high school years as a cadet there." Frost told her. Hanna thought for a moment about that, she had never gone to a military school before but from the stories she had heard they sounded horribly boring.
"So what was it like at the academy?" Hanna asked him.
"Well other than the basic school work that the Federal Government mandated we spent a lot of time drilling, having uniform inspections and doing physical training. During my junior year they began to teach us marksmanship; I was a pretty good shot and one day we had a special guest visit the academy. He had us run the gorge, an obstacle course combined with a marksmanship test. I wasn't the fastest but I had the best shot so our guest came up to me and asked me to join the army. He told me that I can join on my seventeenth birthday and be deployed to Afghanistan the following year. He then told me that he would evaluate me and move me up to a special unit if I qualified. I agreed and the next think I knew I was at Fort Bragg learning basic training. After a good six months they assigned me to one of the Stryker Brigades and taught me about mechanized warfare. Four months later I was a PFC and two months after that my unit was deployed to Afghanistan and I served my first and only tour in the regular army there. Well needless to say when I was on the flight back state side I got a call from the guy who convinced me to join the army. He told me he was watching my progress and was extremely impressed. He told me about Delta Force and how after some additional training I could be deployed to a combat team. So eight months after that I am assigned to Metal Team and we are sent on Operation Kingfish." Frost told her. Hanna thought to herself that Frost was rather interesting; she wanted to hear more about him and whoever this guest of his. Before Hanna got a chance to ask any more questions the Liberion witch with the big tits plopped down between them.
"Hey guys don't think that I forgot to bring you two some drinks." Shirley said to them gleefully. She handed Frost and Hanna a drink, some kind of soda or something.
"Hey Shirley what is up?" Frost asked Shirley who smiled.
"Ah nothing really just wanted to see what you two were talking about." Shirley told them.
"Oh I was just telling Hanna about my upbringing nothing particularly interesting." Frost said to her.
"Cool I would like to hear about that." Shirley said to Frost. Who nodded and began to tell her about his past. Hanna felt someone's eyes upon her, Hanna looked back to see that bitch Barkhorn glaring at her. Hanna thought for a moment and she looked next to her to see Shirley who had her arms wrapped around both Hanna and Frost's shoulder. Oh I get it you like this hot piece of ass don't you Gertrude, well I know how to fix that. Hanna grinned as she placed her hand on Shirley's thigh and gently began to move her hand between Shirley's legs. Just as she was about to caress Shirley, Shirley slapped Hanna's hand away. A look of surprise flashed across Hanna's face, something like that doesn't usually happen to her. Hanna looked back to see Gertrude had a smug and satisfied look on her face. Whatever Hanna thought, there were plenty of girls back home who wanted her; Gertrude could have this Liberion slut to herself, besides Hanna still had Frost. Hanna pulled out her flask and chugged some whiskey.

Eila looked down at Sanya who was resting her head on her lap. She looked so cute there breathing softly as she slept so peacefully. Eila ran her fingers through Sanya's soft grey hair. Eila got a strange feeling in her head all of the sudden. She had a strange urge that she should check her Tarot cards to see if she could get a vision of the future. She pulled out of her vest the pack of cards and opened the container. Eila pulled out the first card and took a look. It was the Shadow King and this time it was facing down. Suddenly Eila's consciousness was ripped from her body.

Eila saw the Clock tower its frame stained with blood. Then Eila was in a metal room, with two dozen men in black and tan uniforms. It took Eila a few seconds to realize she was in a helicopter. At the end of the helicopter by the ramp she saw General Shepherd. He looked back to his men.
"Are you ready for this?" He asked the men in black uniforms, as one they responded.
"For ODESSA." They spoke in unison. Eila was confused what is ODESSA? Then the helicopter landed and the ramp came down. Eila could see they were in a field, a few other helicopters flew overhead spray some unseen targets in a forest with gunfire. Two men were approaching General Shepherd both appeared to be wounded. The first one wore a skull shaped mask the other was in the uniform of Task Force 141. Shepherd approached them.
"Do you have the DSM?" he asked them.
"Yes sir here it is." One of them said he pulled out a boxy looking device and handed it to Shepherd.
"Good that is one less loose end." He stated as he pull the man in close and a gunshot rang out.
"No!" the man with the skull pattern mask shouted as he raised his weapon. But Shepherd was faster he shot the skull masked man point blank with his revolver. The men in black approached the bodies both of them still writhing on the ground in pain. Eila then realized who the men in black were; they were Shadow Company, the mercenaries that harassed them before they left for their mission in DC. The Shadow Company mercenaries dragged the bodies to a pit in the ground and tossed them in. One of them pulled out a gallon of gasoline and began to drench the bodies in gas.
"For ODESSA." He simply stated as the last drops of gas emptied from the container. Shepherd then was standing over the bodies he lit a cigar and breathed in the smoke. Then he flicked it onto the corpses and they burst into flames. Then Eila saw a flash of images. First she saw several bright flashes over a city; the buildings then being ripped apart by a massive shockwave. Then she saw Shadow Company troops gunning down men in U.S. army uniforms. After that she saw the American flag but with two lightning bolt shaped slashes in the middle of it. Finally she saw Yoshika Miyafuji her gun drawn and a determined steely look on her face. Then Eila saw on the other end of her vision General Shepherd gun drawn pointed at the body of a masked Task Force operative that he was standing over. She then spoke.
"I won't let you kill him." Was all she said then Eila was back at the Clock Tower. This time its hand had shifted to five o'clock and a small puddle of blood had formed around the base of the tower. Then her vision ended.

"Eila wake up, the extraction team has arrived." Sanya said to her as she shook Eila awake.
"What already. Wait no this is not right something is horribly wrong." Eila told her. She forced herself up and began to walk towards the entrance of the bus station. Truck was standing by the door and looking at four black painted trucks approaching their location. On top of the trucks Eila could see mounted machine guns of some kind and black clad men using them. The trucks stopped in front of the bus station.
"It was about time you guys showed up we were about to start walking to base." Truck joked to the men in the trucks. Out of the trucks Shadow Company mercenaries stepped out weapons in hand.
"Truck it is a setup get out of their!" Eila shouted; Truck turned around just as the mounted machine guns on the truck swerved to aim at him. Truck opened his mouth to say something but the words never left his mouth as a blizzard of bullets tore into him ripping him to shreds of bloody chucks of flesh and bones. Eila didn't have time to doge out of the way she activated her shield as the mercenaries fired at her. Eila retreated inside where the rest of the Task Force was getting their weapons. A few frag grenades rolled into the room and Eila dove for cover as a thunderous explosion tore apart the entrance.
"Oh fuck what just happened?" Sandman shouted.
"It's Shadow Company they are here to try and kill us." Eila responded.
"What why?" Sandman replied. Just then six mercenaries came through the front entrance guns blazing. Eila fired her entire magazine from her UMP45 into them. Three mercenaries went down in a shower of blood. The other members of the Task Force opened fire, killing the rest of them as they tried to make it through the choke point. From one of the side entrances four more mercenaries poured through firing their M4A1s at the Task Force. Eila saw Minna put up her shields to protect herself and Major Sakamoto. Eila reloaded and fired at the nearest mercenary. Four rounds slammed into the black clad soldier spraying blood onto his comrade. Sanya fired a three round burst from her machine pistol killing another. The surviving mercenaries hid behind some cover and Sandman threw a grenade at them blowing them apart. Frost and Grinch then tossed some stun grenades outside and waited a second before going outside guns blazing. After a few seconds Grinch came back into the room and gave the all clear. Eila and the rest of the group went outside. Sandman saw Truck's mutilated corpse and went to his knees.
"FUCK! NO GOD DAMNIT HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!" Sandman shouted in a combination of rage and sorrow. Just then Eila heard something. She listened harder and realized it was a radio from one of the dead mercenaries. She walked over to the corpse and picked up the radio.
"Raven is it done? Are the Task Force operatives eliminated?" Eila instantly recognized the voice it was General Shepherd.
"Sandman you might want to take a look at this." Eila said as she handed him the radio.
"Raven come in over? Raven, are you there? Is the Task Force eliminated?" Shepherd asked the fallen mercenary. Sandman had a look of unstoppable white hot rage across his face.
"We have been set up." Sandman said as he dropped the radio and stomped on it.
"What no this can't be right there is no way Shepherd would betray us." Frost said to Sandman.
"Frost you heard what he said there was no mistaking it Shepherd betrayed us." Sandman said to Frost who then swore in rage.
"What… if General Shepherd betrayed us who is going to help us get back to our world?" Francesca stammered trying to hold back the tears. Shirley put her arms around Francesca and rubbed the back of her head. Then Grinch spoke.
"So what do we do now Sandman?" Grinch asked him.
"I am going to call Captain Mactavish we need to meet up with the rest of the Task Force and plan our next move." Sandman said. He pulled out the Sat phone from his vest and began to dial a number.

"Soap get down!" Price shouted as an AH-6 stormed overhead miniguns blazing. Soap slammed into the side of a broken plane as the chopper flew overhead. None of this made any sense out of nowhere dozens of Shadow Company mercs appeared killing everyone in sight, Task Force and Ultranationalist alike; why was this happening why did Shepherd betray them? Just then Soap felt his Sat phone vibrate. He flipped it open and answered it.
"Hello?" Soap asked.
"Soap it is Sandman don't trust Shepherd he sent Shadow Company to kill my team and he probably has a team on their way to your location as we speak." Sandman told him. Soap rolled his eyes a little too late for that now.
"Yeah I know we are engaging Shadow Company now. Sandman I think Ghost and Roach are dead I can't raise them on comms." Soap said, just then he heard footsteps to his left. Soap pulled out his MP5K and fired around the corner at some Ultranationalist goons approaching his location.
"Shit this is worse than I thought. Listen we need to find where Shepherd's base of operations is and take him out. Otherwise he won't stop coming until we are all dead." Sandman said to Soap who grunted in agreement. Soap got up and sprinted across no man's land to get behind a broken hummer.
"Right Price and I think we may have a way to find out where Shepherd is located I will call you back when I find out." Soap told Sandman.
"Ok stay safe." Sandman replied.
"Right you to." Soap hung up and put away the phone. Just then a Shadow Company merc came around the corner. Soap raised his SMG and fired two 9mm rounds through the merc's skull. "Price any luck on that encryption code yet?" Soap asked Price.
"Not yet, what did Sandman want?" Price asked him.
"Shepherd went after him and his team to he wants to know where Shepherd is hiding so we can go and kill him." Soap said to Price.
"Right tell him I am working on it." Price said.
"He knows." Soap replied. Soap sprinted one hundred meters to some shipping containers. Soap elbowed an Ultranationalist then stomped on his throat killing him.
"Oy I got it. Makarov… I know you are listening to this and we both know you won't last a week out there with Shepherd hunting you. He is a war hero now and he has a blank check towards killing you." Price said to Makarov. After a few seconds Price got a response.
"What do you want Price?" Makarov demanded of Price.
"Where is Shepherd's base of operations? I know that you know where it is. You tell us and we will take him out." Price said to his old enemy. After a moment of silence Makarov spoke again.
"He is heading back to Shadow Company Headquarters in Pennsylvania; see you in hell Captain Price." Makarov told him. Price chuckled.
"Not if you get there before me. Send Zakhaev my regards when you get there." Price said to Makarov. "Oi Soap I see you now hold on I will be there in a second, I am coming in from the west." Price told him.
"Got you I will cover your approach." Soap said as Price approached. Soap pulled out his M21 sniper rifle and scanned Price's path. Soap spotted a merc with an AT4. Soap put the merc's head in his crosshairs and sent a 7.62mm love letter through his brainpan. Price sprinted the rest of the way to Soap's location. "Nikolai are you there?" Soap asked his Russian friend.
"Da I am almost there I can see that you do not have the area under control. This place looks like Afghanistan was the last time I was here with the soviets." Nikolai laughed. Price was not amused.
"Just land the bloody plane when we get to the EVAC point." Price barked.
"Da just be there soon I am low on fuel as it is." Nikolai replied.
"Soap, call Sandman and tell him where Shepherd is and ask where we can RV." Price told Soap.
"On it." Soap pulled out his Sat phone and pressed redial. After a few seconds Sandman was on the other end. "Sandman Shepherd is heading back to Shadow Company Headquarters not sure why though." Soap told the Delta Force leader.
"I see ok when can we meet you?" Sandman asked him.
"That depends where can we meet?" Soap replied.
"Do you remember that place that Grinch told you about before Operation Kingfish?" Sandman inquired.
"Yeah we can be there in three days see you then." Soap said as he hung up. Soap looked out onto the rout for his escape to Nikolai's plane. Between him and salvation there was dozens of mercs and Ultranationalists. Oy it's going to be a long day. Soap thought as he and Price ran out to the next piece of cover.
