HAHA good news everyone I have another chapter up for your reading pleasure. yes it is here in all of its glory first a few story things the AH-72 is basically my designation for the stealth chopper from Black Ops 2 you know the kill streak. Also the B-1R is a purposed variant of the B-1 lancer made with F-22 engines and a new radar that allows it to target aircraft and be equipped with AMRAAMs. anyway also so this chapter mostly covers the events of a dinner party/ memorial for the fallen members of the task force but I keep it pretty light hearted for the most part so lots of humorous moments are abound. also I should warn you there is lemon in this chapter but i made sure that it is pretty obvious what scene it is in so if you don't like lemon go ahead and skip it just knowing that these two characters fucked like jack rabbits XD. yeah you know what i decided that my story is for adults (but if you are still a minor don't worry i wont tell your parents you are reading this :3) and i will write it as such plus if i get a stink from i will call them on their BS by saying that there are plenty of worse Yoai fics that plague their sight that they don't do anything to stop seriously just go to any shonen jump anime page and look down the list you don't even have to change the filter and you will see gobs of yoai fics yuck. anyways also i noticed this recently basically i am writing this kinda as a visual novel without the visual part as in i am not pulling punches on content and some of my writing style is influenced by the VN called Muv luv Alternative if that wasn't already obvious that and i have a little Guants Ghosts thrown in as well. anyway enough blabber here is the next chapter for your reading pleasure.


The Sitting War

Camp David USA

POTUS Barack H. Obama

11:11 local time

President Obama desperately needed a cigarette; but alas he had promised his wife Michelle that he would quit smoking and for the past several years he had managed to keep that promise. Sitting in an underground bunker with Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, General David Petraeus and one of the CIA agents who had debriefed the witches of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing; the President found himself in a unique and altogether uncomfortable position. President Obama would be the first Commander and Chief in American… no scratch that human history to prepare his forces for a potential alien invasion. Barack Obama was unsure if he should laugh at the absurdity of the situation or pray to god that the witches arrival to this world was merely a onetime freak occurrence.

"Mr. President?" General Petraeus said, shaking the President free from his inner thoughts.

"Oh I am sorry gentlemen I was lost in my thoughts. What was the question?" The President asked his top General.

"We were asking how should we prepare our forces. Should we deploy them to Europe to guard against a Russian attack or should we have our forces remain stateside should these… Neuroi attack us?" General Petraeus asked him. It had been over a week since the Russians had retreated from the continental United States following their disastrous defeat at the hands of the U.S. Military.

"I believe we should keep our forces state side to guard against the Neuroi. Two days ago President Vorshevsky called me asking to arrange peace talks to end the war between our two countries. That buys us time to capture Makarov to prove he was behind the Zakhaev International Airport attack and clear our country's name. So for now we should concentrate our forces on protecting the homeland against any and all threats including extraterrestrial ones." The President informed his general. The Russian President had called Barack to inform him of his wish for peace. Apparently the Russian Parliament had forced his hand into invading the United States after Makarov's attack. That and probably watching his forces be routed and then massacred by the USAF and USN as they fled helped push the Russian leader to the negotiating table. In the retreat from the U.S. General Petraeus estimated that the Russians had lost over 25,000 soldiers and most of their surface fleet. Russia would be in no position to launch a major offensive into the United States for at least five years. So Barack agreed to the peace talks and set the time for the meeting as October 3rd 2016 in Hamburg Germany. Hopefully by then Makarov would be killed or captured by Task Force 141.

"I concur with your decision Mr. President I think our top priority should be to prepare for a potential Neuroi attack. Now the question is how do we prepare for the Neuroi?" Secretary Hagel asked the President.

"Good question Chuck… well if I am remembering it correctly from what the witches said it appears that the Neuroi are mostly air and ground based; am I correct?" The President asked his commanders who nodded. "Well then I believe that we should concentrate on building up our air and ground forces. Call up Boeing and tell them that we will take as many Super Hornets as they can give us of all varieties including Growlers; And while you're at it tell them that I want three hundred of the new F-15SE Silent Eagles. I want Lockheed Martin contacted and ordered to restart the F-22 production line and for them to build as many as possible as fast as possible plus tell them to keep the F-35 production line up for the foreseeable future and to mostly concentrate on the A and C models. After that contact General Dynamics and tell them to upgrade all of our F-16s to the V variant and to start cranking out more of them, upwards of a thousand preferably. We are also going to need some more A-10s; they are not that hard to produce and they are dirt cheap compared to other aircraft so we should try to build more of them for providing air support for the ground forces. Finally contact Rockwell and tell them to open up the B-1R production line and to build two hundred and fifty bombers. For helicopters I need more Apaches and Vipers to be built and I need those AH-72 Specters to get online as fast as possible you know the new stealth choppers bell is testing?" Everyone nodded. "I am not sure if stealth will work on the Neuroi but the raw performance they offer is enough to justify building them. Anyways I need more V-22s and UH-1Ys for the Marines and more Blackhawks for the Army to transport troops into battle so get on it. Ok I think that should cover aircraft and I think it is safe to say that we should call Raytheon and tell them to build as many AMRAAMs and Sidewinders as possible; are we clear?" President Barack Obama said as he inwardly cringed; he had no idea how much money he was about to cost the tax payers but if it meant that they would survive he had to endure it.

"Yes Mr. President." They said in unison.

"Ok that leaves us with our ground forces now doesn't it? Well I get the impression from what the witches told us about the aliens that the M4 or any infantry weapon isn't going to cut it in a fight against these things so we are going to have to bulk up our armored forces. Scavenge the bone yards and return as many retired Abrams as you can to active service then upgrade them to the M1A2 standards and put them back in our arsenal. Then I want more of those new Schwarzkopf tanks built same with the LAV-52s build as many of them as you can with as much ammo for them as possible. I then want to have more M270A1 MRLS systems to be built along with M109A6 Paladin Self Propelled Guns. Ok then I want more HMMWVs built and supply trucks for our vehicles to be constructed. Ok that should cover our forces in a ground battle with the Neuroi but I think we will need more air defense weapons. Our forces have enjoyed the luxury of aerial dominance so long we have neglected our AA systems anyone have any suggestions?" Barack Obama asked. General Petraeus then spoke.

"Sir General Dynamics has an AA system design that we actually think will be quite effective against the Neuroi. Basically they plan on taking an LAV-25 chassis and replacing the turret with a radar controlled 57mm antiaircraft cannon. It shouldn't be too hard to build as the current specs have the radar used as the same one used on the F/A-18A+ which we have been slowly upgrading to C standards for a while now." Petraeus told the President who nodded.

"Ok tell them to get on it them, and while we are on the subject of the F/A-18 have all of them upgraded to the C and D standards. That handles short range AA now we need SAMs to deal with high altitude threats. I think we should continue building more Patriot missiles to cover the ground troops and to defend our cities against air raids. Well I think that should cover ground troops onto the Navy I suppose. I am going to need more of those Jackhammer missiles that Tacitus is building to be put in our arsenal and I guess we should be thanking that bastard Shepherd for forcing that Valley Forge class stealth antiaircraft destroyer down our throats as it seems like that will be quite useful against the Neuroi so I am going to need more of those built." President Obama ordered his commanders who nodded. Then Chuck Hagel spoke.

"Sir I also think that we should think about activating Operation Refrigerator." Hagel told him.

"Ah yes I think you are right. Who the hell comes up with these names anyway?" The president asked his commanders who chuckled. Operation Refrigerator was an old Cold War operation that had been kept in place in case a full scale war broke out. Basically America had mothballed a lot of its older equipment in case it was needed in the event of World War Three. The current additions to the Refrigerator units included two and a half wings of F-14D Tomcats along with upwards of five hundred AIM-54 Phoenix missiles. There were also two hundred and fifty three F-4 Phantoms, mostly Js, Es and Gs with enough replacement parts to go around. About one hundred A-4 Skyhawks and seventy A-6s were in flyable condition ready and waiting for pilots. One of the other major items on the Air Force side of Operation Refrigerator was to go through the bone yards and to repair and reactivate as many B-52s as humanly possible and estimates were currently at one hundred and twenty six B-52s could be back in the air by the end of the year. Finally there were four hundred F-111s split about evenly between the electronic warfare variant and the tactical bombing variant. For ground forces there were about seven thousand M60A3 Patton tanks and a "shitload" of M113s that were both in service and in storage. Plus there were plenty of old artillery guns that could be dusted off and brought back into service. The Navy wasn't as well off but there were four Ticonderoga class guided missile cruisers that could be returned to active duty and the USS Constellation and USS Kitty Hawk super carriers that could be brought back to active duty and as much has Obama hated to do this he could also bring back all four of the Iowa class battleships if he needed to. "Alright well now I think we need to handle the logistics of this unprecedented military buildup. I need all of our major ammo providers to start cranking out all of the various types of munitions we need to fight a protracted war against the aliens and I want to buy more oil then we usually do and have it stored in a safe facility. We don't know if we will be able to hold on to the Middle East and I don't want our stocks running dry. While we are on the subject tell the energy companies in our country to begin to pump more oil and send it to various storage facilities across the country. Ok I think that about covers everything any more questions?" Obama asked his commanders then Petraeus raised his hand.

"Yes sir what about drones sir should we build more UCAVs and UGVs?" he asked the president who shook his head.

"No continue to produce them at the current rate we are building them at. If you remember Commander Wilcke told us the Neuroi have the ability to infect and possess machines that are unmanned. I don't know if we send drones out to attack the Neuroi if we will have them infected and turned against us so for now we will only use them in conflicts against humans." President Obama told the Army General who nodded. Then the CIA agent spoke.

"What about the draft sir? Specifically relating to Operation Firebreak?" Ah that was a nasty piece of legislation that was passed into law in secret during the Nixon administration. Basically it was a last ditch effort that would be enacted if it looked like America was losing a major war with the Russians. Basically Operation Firebreak stated that all men from ages sixteen to fifty would be drafted into positions fitting their qualifications; and that a lottery system for women ages twenty to thirty would determine which women would be drafted into the military. Finally the nastiest piece of the law was that high school students of both genders of ages fourteen and fifteen would be put into non combat positions in the U.S. Military to free up more soldiers for the front. President Obama stood up and looked to a window looking out onto the rest of the underground facility. Obama looked at all of the soldiers going about their duties and such. President Barack Obama looked back to his commanders and spoke.

"If the Neuroi invade then I will activate the Operation Firebreak. But for now no mention of Firebreak will leave this room; understood?" President Obama stated to his men who nodded. "That will be all gentlemen you are dismissed." Obama said to his men who got up and left the room. President Obama was about to undertake the largest and fastest buildup in U.S. military history; but despite this Obama still had his doubts. Without witches would it be enough to stop the Neuroi?

Arlington National Cemetery USA

Flying Officer Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen

12:09 local time

"PRESENT ARMS!" one of the honor guards shouted as the rest of the seven honor guards readied their weapons. "FIRE!" All seven of the guards fired their rifles in salute. Eila and the rest of Task Force 141 stood and saluted their fallen comrades. Truck, Ghost, Roach, Ozone, Meat, Chemo, Robot and a dozen others whose names eluded her were given heroes funerals with full military honors. These men were British, Canadian, South African, Australian and American. But today they were all part of the same family; a family of brothers and sisters who had given their lives in order to protect their nations from the horrors of war and the evils of terrorism. Eila looked to the other witches in the Task Force; all of them were now dressed like her in U.S. Army dress uniforms and saluting there fallen brethren. Even though they didn't know the majority of these men the sting of having to bury a comrade in arms effected them all the same. Eila then looked to the new comers; the "White" Russians who were also dressed in U.S. Army dress uniforms. The Russians surprisingly looked just as somber as the other members of the Task Force. The honor guards fired two more times in a classic twenty-one gun salute. Eila looked further down the cemetery. Somewhere Shepherd had been buried with full military honors. Eila gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Even though logically she understood why President Obama gave Shepherd a military funeral she couldn't bring her heart to agree with it. Shepherd had been very popular in the military and among the public. Many Americans considered him a hero and if word of his treason came to life President Obama felt that many would make a martyr out of him and America might have a civil war on its hands. That being said Eila felt that as a traitor Shepherd should have just been tossed in a ditch or left to rot in the sun; that bastard deserved it for what he had done and tried to do to this country. It was funny the longer Eila stayed in this world the more she considered America to be her country to. This country had given her and her friends shelter when they had no reason to and she had fought and bled for it against the Russians. Eila looked up and saw Captain Price stand in front of the assembled Task Force. Price hid behind a mask of steely determination and discipline; but something told her that deep down Captain Price along with his comrades Soap and Nikolai were having trouble dealing with the death of their comrades. Same thing could be said for the American Delta Force commandos, Eila swore that she saw Frost wipe a tear from his eye as they buried Truck. The only person who didn't seem effect by the funeral was Yuri who seemed to not give a crap about the Task Force at all.

"Company attention!" Price shouted; he waited a few seconds then spoke again. "Fall out!" he shouted and the Task Force fell out of formation and broke up into smaller groups. Sanya went to Eila's side.

"Hey how are you feeling?" She asked Eila.

"I am ok I guess… it was just really hard to see all of these soldiers buried is all." Eila stated. Sanya nodded.

"Yes I agree even though I didn't know many of these men I still felt or rather feel a connection to them as comrades in arms." Sanya said to Eila.

"Yeah I guess this is the fate of most soldiers in this world. To be killed by your fellow man in cold blood. Sanya what kind of things happened in this world to make it like this? Why do so many have to suffer and die because of a few evil men in power?" Eila asked more rhetorically than anything else.

"I don't know. I know it's cruel but I am glad that it is this world that has all of this suffering rather than our world. I don't think I could ever kill another witch in battle and frankly if our world took the same course as this world we would never have met. In fact we would probably have had to kill each other in battle." Sanya stated solemnly. Eila cringed at that thought as an image of Sanya in her gun sights flashed in Eila's mind.

"I guess I understand what you mean." Eila replied. Eila then noticed that some of the Task Force members were leaving back to the parking lot to drive back to the airport to head to Fort Campbell which had become the Task Force's base of operations in the hunt for Makarov. "It looks like everyone is heading back, shall we leave as well?" Eila asked Sanya who nodded. They began to head back to a waiting car when Sanya spoke.

"So Eila I wanted to ask you… um about the party tonight." Sanya said to Eila who nodded. The Task Force was having a barbecue when they got back to Fort Campbell both in celebration of the defeat of the Russians and to honor their fallen comrades. Originally Yoshika had wanted to cook for the Task Force; but Grinch, Frost and Sandman had insisted that they wanted to cook for her and the other members of the Task Force this time. After a little protest Yoshika and Lynnette had agreed to let the Delta members cook but they insisted on at least being serving girls for the party. Why they wanted to do that was anyone's guess; Eila just assumed that they both wanted to show off to each other how domestic they were around the house.

"Yeah what about it?" Eila asked. Sanya fidgeted slightly and blushed.

"Well I wanted to know do you want to just get drunk or do you want to remain sober tonight for… um… well… you know?" Eila went beet red. Was Sanya really suggesting what she thought she was? If so it was all of Eila's dreams come true; but if it wasn't…

"Um… what are you suggesting?" Eila asked nervously hoping the answer was what she thought it might be.

"You know… to get intimate with each other." Sanya replied shyly. Eila's heart skipped a beat and inwardly she shouted in joy. That being said Eila didn't want to come off as desperate or anything. After all it had been over a year of being celibate after her little fling with an old friend back in Suomus.

"I don't know I guess if you want to we can stay sober for after the party." Eila stated casually hoping Sanya bought her act.

"Well if you don't want to that is fi…" Sanya was about to say before Eila cut her off.

"YES I DO WANT TO!" Eila practically shouted much to her embarrassment. Eila went red in the face as she looked around. A few of the Task Force members looked at her. Price and Soap just looked at her like she was crazy. Sandman just looked down right confused. Isabella had no visible expression on her face like always. Only that Cryska girl seemed to know what their conversation was about and she gave Eila the thumbs up and whistled. Eila just about died with embarrassment. "Ok well I guess I have my answer then." Sanya smiled as she continued back to parking lot. Shit did I just out myself in front of everyone? Eila thought to herself as she followed after Sanya. Oh well it didn't matter who cared that she loved Sanya it wouldn't make her any less of a soldier or person just because she liked girls more than guys (although she wasn't necessarily completely uninterested in guys she just given the option would prefer the fairer sex). With that she pushed any embarrassment aside and followed her girlfriend to the car.

Fort Campbell USA

Staff Sergeant Derek Westbrook "Frost"

19:11 local time

"I am back and I bring the gift of booze with me HAHA!" Nikolai shouted as he walked into the kitchen.

"Alright what did you bring for us?" Frost asked the Russian commando who smiled.

"I brought good vodka, whisky, beer both imported and that horse piss you Americans claim is beer. Oh and I brought cherry flavored wine for Minna since she asked for it specifically." Nikolai told Frost who smiled.

"Cherry flavored wine huh?" Frost asked Nikolai who nodded.

"Yeah go figure I would have thought that a German or Karlslander whatever would be a beer drinker but apparently cherry flavored wine is her favorite type of alcohol." Nikolai told him. Frost shrugged and went back to kneading some cornbread dough that he was making. Elsewhere in the kitchen Grinch was making collard greens and traditional macaroni and cheese while Sandman and Soap barbecued a pig out back. This dinner was suppose to be a traditional southern barbecue but with all of the various types of alcohol and Yoshika wanting to drink green tea it hadn't quite worked out that way.

"Alright well put them in the fridge we will serve them with the food." Frost said as he went back to his work. Just then Hanna walked up behind him and slapped him on the ass.

"Hey cutie I didn't know you knew how to cook." She stated Frost smiled at her.

"Oh well I know a little bit, you know enough to get by and all." Frost replied. Hanna looked down at his hands while he kneaded the dough.

"Ah I see you are good at kneading dough." Hanna said to Frost who nodded.

"Oh yeah I usually do some of the baking when Metal Team decides to cook together." Frost replied. Then Hanna got a devious look on her face.

"Well I wonder if you are as good when it comes to kneading something else if you catch my drift." Hanna said slyly. Frost blushed as he knew exactly what she meant. God this girl was about as subtle as an air strike not that Frost minded that much but she was still a minor so she was hands off for now.

"Eh well err… um I'd like to think I am." Frost replied nervously. Hanna wrapped her arms around him and pressed her rather ample breasts into his back.

"Well I guess I am just going to have to find out now won't I?" Hanna stated seductively. Just then Frost felt a spray of water on the back of his neck and Hanna yelped. "Hey what did you do that for?" Hanna asked angrily. Frost turned around to see Sandman with one of the dishwashing nozzles pointed at Hanna.

"Down girl." Sandman simply stated with a rather amused look on his face. Hanna rolled her eyes then looked back to Frost.

"Well don't worry Frost I am sure I will find out eventually." She said with a devious grin. She then walked out of the kitchen with a smirk on her face.

"You know you didn't have to spray her with water Sandman." Frost said to Sandman who laughed.

"I know I just felt like it. You know I have to say I am a little surprised at you Frost. I always thought you would be more into the domestic, shy and down to earth kinds of girls. You know basically an older version of Yoshika or Lynne so I am a little surprised that you have taken such a liking to Hanna." Sandman said to Frost.

"Yeah I know; but there is just something about Hanna that interests me I can't really explain it." Frost said to his commander who nodded.

"Well you can explain it to me when she turns eighteen just because the fake ID we gave her says she is twenty-one doesn't me that she is legal yet in the eyes of the lord you know. So in other words there will be no monkey business between you two clear?" Sandman said to Frost who nodded.

"Yeah I know don't worry I won't try anything on her." Frost stated.

"Eh it's not you I am worried about frankly; she strikes me as the very aggressive type of girl." Sandman told him. Frost chuckled in agreement.

"Hey can I ask you something?" Frost asked Sandman who nodded. "What made you know that you loved the girl that you married?" Frost asked Sandman who thought for a moment.

"Well everything about her I guess. I met her back in my hometown Salt Lake City when we were in high school together. I guess she was what you would describe as your stereotypical Mormon girl; quite, reserved and religious. A lot like I was myself; and every time I was around her my heart skipped a beat. That and we always had so much fun when we were together I thought she had to be the one. So after graduation I asked her to marry me and we have been together ever since." Sandman told Frost who nodded. "Do you feel that way about Hanna?" Sandman asked Frost.

"I am not sure honestly, but there is something about her that I just… you know." Frost said to Sandman who nodded.

"In time you will figure it out just don't try anything until she is eighteen ok?" Sandman told Frost who nodded. "Good now that cornbread won't bake itself, work your magic on it." Sandman said as he slapped Frost on the back.

"Yes sir." Frost said as he went back to work. One of these days he was going to have to figure his feelings for Hanna out, but for now they could just be friends.

Fort Campbell USA

Flight Lieutenant Gertrude Barkhorn

19:45 Local time

Gertrude sat next to Frost as he waited for the food to cook. Frost was looking over a photo and smiling. Gertrude leaned in to Frost and looked at the photo which she found out was a photo of himself with a couple of others soldiers including the other Metal Team members and a few of the British commandos like Soap and Price.

"Hey what is that?" Trudy asked Frost who looked up at her.

"Oh it is a photo of Task Force 141 before Operation Kingfish. It has some of the members of the Task Force who died on it. Here take a look and I will point some of them out to you." Frost said as he handed her the photo. Gertrude looked at the Photo and Frost pointed to a browned haired British commando. "That is Roach he was formerly part of the British SBS or Special Boat Service he, was a funny guy always joking around and trying to lighten the mood around the base. I tried to keep in contact with him as much as I could when Metal Team split off from the Task Force." Frost told her.

"Ah a prankster then, how undisciplined." Trudy replied, Frost shook his head.

"On mission he was calm and collected and always followed orders he was a true soldier. Anyway this guy right here was named Ozone. He was our unit's tree hugger; in his free time he volunteered with the green earth foundation to protest reckless logging and to protect the environment hence his name. That guy over there his name is Robot. He was a big fan on that assault on the senses called dub step I personally hate that stuff but Robot was a good guy and I hung out with him a few times." Frost told her. Then a particular soldier caught her eye; he was wearing a skull patterned mask and had a pair of aviator shades on.

"Who is he?" Gertrude asked as she pointed to him.

"Ah that would be Ghost. Calm, collected, disciplined and deadly. He was a no nonsense individual who was very good at his job. Frankly I would not want to be on his bad side; but fortunately we got along pretty well. Well I couldn't really get close to him; frankly he didn't really want to let anyone in you know. I can't blame him though we have all seen so messed up shit we don't want to talk about so whatever happened to Ghost must have been pretty bad." Frost told her. Hmm it appeared that even Special Forces people had stuff that could traumatize them. Trudy thought that even under all of their training and discipline it didn't change the fact that they were human beings who just like anyone else had a breaking point. Trudy had come close to that breaking point after Chris was put in a coma but Yoshika had snapped her out of it thankfully.

"Ah I see he sounds like he was a good soldier then." Gertrude said to Frost who frowned and looked away.

"Yeah, but he was a better friend; a brother, one of us you know." Frost told her. Gertrude nodded.

"I see." She simply said to him.

"You know I actually think you two would get along quite well frankly you two seem a lot alike." Frost said to Gertrude who smiled.

"Ah you think so? Well just don't expect me to put on a skull mask or anything." Trudy told him. Frost began to laugh.

"I wouldn't count on it." Frost joked. In the corner of Trudy's eye she saw Shirley and looked to her. Shirley smiled at Gertrude who then smiled back. Maybe tonight she would tell the Liberion witch exactly how she felt about her, and that she wanted to get serious with her. But at the same time she was so nervous that Shirley would not want to be with her like that it made her sick. It felt like there was an anvil in Gertrude's stomach when she thought about the potential for rejection from Shirley. Maybe she would need a pint or two of liquid courage to ask her about going exclusive with each other. Either way tonight was the night she would find out whether or not Shirley and her were going to be with one another.

Fort Campbell USA

Sergeant Yoshika Miyafuji

20:55 local time

"Hey can I get some more whisky?" Erica asked Yoshika who grabbed the nearest whisky bottle and headed for the Karlslander's table.

"Sure here you go one shot or two?" Yoshika asked her. Erica held up two fingers and Yoshika filled two shot glasses with "Irish whisky". "Hope you like it." Yoshika smiled to her.

"Thanks Yoshika. Hey you should take a break and have something to eat you have done enough work for tonight." Erica said to Yoshika who shook her head.

"No its ok I will eat dinner in a bit." Yoshika replied. Erica shrugged and drank a shot of whisky. Truth be told Yoshika wasn't really looking forward to eating American food. Yoshika had made the mistake of eating Britannian food once and it was the worst food she had ever eaten. And since Liberion was formally a Britannian colony that must mean their food was similar right? And since America was basically Liberion they would share the same cuisine. So Yoshika was now trying to delay eating the food as much as possible, though it did actually smell quite good but Yoshika was an experienced enough cook to know that could be deceiving. Yoshika then went to Eila and Sanya who were talking to each other about something and giggling. It was nice to see those two in high spirits. Yoshika walked over to Eila.

"Hey Eila, Sanya do you want refills on your beers?" she asked to two Eastern European witches.

"No thanks we will just have some water." Sanya said to Yoshika who then went and brought them some water.

"Thanks Yoshika." Eila said to her. Yoshika smiled to the platinum haired witch.

"No problem, enjoy your dinner." Yoshika told them. Yoshika then went over to Isabella who was sitting alone eating her food. "Hi Isabella don't you want to eat with everyone else?" Yoshika asked the young Nicaraguan women who looked up at her and gave a weak smile before answering.

"No I am alright I prefer to eat by myself." She said to Yoshika. Yoshika took a brief moment to look upon Marquez. She was beautiful and exotic even to Yoshika who had been around plenty of those exotic and beautiful western girls of the 501st. Isabella had long jet black hair and deep brown eyes to match her bronzed skin. She also had a rather nice figure very curvy and feminine complete with rather large breasts and a firm buttock. "Is something the matter?" Isabella asked. Ah crap I was staring at her .Yoshika thought to herself.

"Ah it's nothing!" Yoshika said as she began to walk away in embarrassment. Yoshika then went to Lynne who was pouring some vodka for the Russian members of the Task Force. "Hey Lynne." Yoshika said to her friend who smiled at her.

"Hi Yoshika what is up?" She asked the young Fusoan witch.

"Nothing I was just talking to Marquez and she was telling me that she likes to eat alone weird right?" Yoshika asked Lynne who shook her head.

"Not necessarily. Remember what Frost told us happened to her when she was younger." Lynne said to Yoshika who shuddered when she thought about how Isabella had been forced into sexual slavery at a young age; it was the stuff nightmares were made out of yet Isabella had to endure it for several years, and judging by how young she looked now Isabella couldn't have been more than Lucchini was when she was first taken by that Menendez guy. What an evil bastard he was. First he did that to Isabella then if Nikolai was right he ordered his men to carry out that ghastly terrorist attack on those innocent Americans in Texas. It seemed like Menendez was practically competing with Makarov to see who could be more evil.

"Yeah I remember; I guess you're right. What happened to her was horrible and unforgivable." Yoshika told her friend.

"Yes well let's finish serving drinks then sit down together ok?" Lynne asked Yoshika who smiled and nodded. Yoshika headed over to where Shirley, Lucchini and Gertrude were sitting when Lucchini noticed her and turned to her.

"Hey Yoshika another round… of *hiccup* whisky." Francesca slurred as she was red in the face and holding a shot glass. Shirley turned to her.

"What how did you get your hands on whisky? Come on you little scamp time for bed." Shirley said to Lucchini who protested.

"Come on… Shirley just… *hiccup* one more… drink." Francesca pleaded. Shirley laughed.

"Nope, you are going to have one hell of a headache in the morning if I don't stop you now." Shirley said as she half dragged half carried the young witch to her bed room.

"Gertrude would you like a drink?" Yoshika asked the older witch who nodded.

"Yes one more beer please. Schmitz if you would be so kind." Gertrude asked. Yoshika nodded as she retrieved the German beer and gave it to Trudy who smiled. Yoshika then went over to a larger table where Captain Price and Mactavish sat along with Frost, Grinch, Sandman, Perrine, Nikolai, Kamarov, Minna and Major Sakamoto sat.

"Hey there does anyone want any drinks before I sit down?" Yoshika asked. Minna then spoke.

"Yes I would like some more cherry wine please." Minna said to Yoshika who poured another glass for her commander and a glass for Major Sakamoto who Yoshika must have neglected to serve. "Thank you Yoshika." Minna said to her.

"No problem, well Lynne and I are going to eat dinner now but if you need anything else please ask me alright?" Yoshika said to everyone who acknowledged her continued service. Then Yoshika remembered something where was Yuri. Yoshika had hardly seen him since they got back to Fort Campbell. Yoshika went looking for him eventually finding him outside sitting on a bench with a vodka bottle in his hands. "Hey Yuri the food is ready do you want to come inside and have some. Yuri looked up at her and glared.

"No get lost." He simply stated. That was rude. Yoshika thought but chose to ignore it.

"Well do you want me to bring some out to you then?" Yoshika asked him. Yuri growled at her.

"What part of get lost do you not understand? Leave me the fuck alone." Yuri said to her. Yoshika began to lose her temper.

"What is your problem I am just trying to be nice to you?" Yoshika shot back.

"Well I didn't fucking ask you to be nice to me little girl. I am not your fucking comrade and I am not your fucking friend so leave me the fuck alone." Yuri retorted. Yoshika was about to shoot back when Grinch placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry we will leave you alone Yuri just don't do anything stupid alright." Grinch said to the jerk-ass Russian soldier.

"Whatever… fucking Americans." Yuri said to them.

"Come on Yoshika lets go." Grinch said to her. They began to head back to the party.

"What was his deal I was just being nice to him?" Yoshika asked the American who frowned.

"I don't know but I can tell you from looking into his eyes. He has seen some fucked up shit in his life. There is nothing left behind those eyes but hate and the burning desire for revenge. He may come around and be part of the group. But then again he may not it will be his choice and we have to respect it. Anyway try to ignore it and enjoy the party ok?" Grinch told her. Yoshika nodded and headed into the kitchen. Ok it was now or never; it was time to eat some of this American food. Would it be a horrible swill like Britannian food or would it be half way decent time to find out. Yoshika thought as she went into the kitchen and plated up some barbecued pork, Frost's cornbread, collard greens, and some macaroni and cheese casserole. She plated up some food for Lynne to and took it to the table where Hanna Marseille was sitting at with the Russian women named Cryska. "Hey do you mind watching this for me while I get some tea?" She asked Marseille who smiled.

"Sure little kitten see you in a minute." She said to Yoshika who smiled. Yoshika then walked over to Lynne and patted her on the shoulder.

"Hey I got you some food and I am going to bring back some tea to our table. I put it at the same table as Cryska and Hanna." She informed Lynnette who nodded.

"Thanks Yoshika see you there." Lynnette told her. Yoshika then went to get the tea pot along with two glasses for herself and Lynnette. She headed back to the table and poured the tea. Well here goes nothing. Yoshika thought as she prepared to take her first bite.

Fort Campbell USA

Commander Minna Dietlinde-Wilcke

21:35 local time

Mio was passed out drunk and was leaning on her shoulder. Someone had given her some cherry wine; enough that it put her out rather than making her go crazy. One time when they were to report to high command together back in Britannia, Minna and Mio had shared a glass of wine together, just a half glass each, but it was enough to make Mio so drunk that Minna had to run after her XO who was running through the halls of their hotel naked and laughing like a maniac. Minna and Mio had made an agreement to never let her drink alcohol ever again. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Mio must have drank so much so fast that she had semi passed out instead of going crazy. Now she was leaning against her with one hand wrapped around her waist and the other trying to pry her legs open to message her in a rather intimate way. Fortunately it seemed like no one noticed that as their view was blocked by the table. So for now Minna was just content to let Mio fumble around trying to fondle her. Frost then spoke.

"So Captain Price I keep hearing from the others about this whole Beirut thing care to enlighten me on it?" Frost asked the British Captain who nodded.

"Yes I was curious about this story myself Captain Price please do tell." Minna said to him.

"Oh no another tale of my greatest screw up." Kamarov said to everyone.

"Oy don't be such a cry baby about it. It couldn't have been that bad; could it?" Soap said to Kamarov.

"Oh belief me you are about to find out." Kamarov said to Soap.

"Ok so this was back in 2006 after Hezbollah had gassed an elementary school in Tel Aviv killing about a thousand kids. So the Israelis decided that they have had enough of Hezbollah and decided that they were just going to raze Lebanon and kill everyone inside it. But instead of just nuking them which would have solved the problem rather quickly but potentially irradiating part of Israel they decide that they are going to do things the old fashion way with jets and tanks." Captain Price told them. that was horrible for both sides first this Hezbollah group for killing innocent children then for the Israelis to decide they want to just exterminate an entire country. It chilled Minna to her very bone and was another gruesome reminder of how horrible this world was. "But the thing was Russia had an asset in the city they needed to extract first and the Israelis were not in a talking mood. So the Spetsnaz had to go in an extract the asset themselves. They asked my team and Sandman's to provide back up. So we go into the city about an hour after Kamarov's team and the Israelis are bombing the shit out of the city and their tanks were killing anyone they saw trying to leave. So we get a distress call on the radio and apparently Kamarov had kicked over the hornet's nest and about three hundred Hezbollah militants were chasing him in the city. So I called for him to head to our location while we set up an ambush. We then see down the road Kamarov's vehicle being chased by a dozen pickups filled with terrorists. Gaz and Grinch set up their rifles and snipe the drivers of the first two vehicles causing them to crash. Then Kamarov must have freaked out because he turned to the left and plowed into an outhouse. There Kamarov was, his vehicle covered in shit with terrorists shooting at him and I couldn't help but last my ass off. Then Sandman and I fire our M203s into the enemy vehicles while Truck fired into them with his SAW. Well we mowed them all down and Kamarov gets out of his car covered from head to toe in shit and said to us 'took you long enough'. Gaz and I start laughing our asses off and we have to hose him down because the smell was so bad. Well after that we made our way to the evac sight and left." Price said to the group. Minna guessed this is what passed for funny in this world how any story involving hundreds of deaths could be funny was beyond her. But she did find it slightly humorous to imagine Kamarov covered in shit.

"Wow well that was quite a story Captain Price." Perrine said to Price who nodded. Then Kamarov spoke.

"You're telling me I still feel like I smell from that night." Kamarov said Minna did manage to laugh at that one. Just then Mio must have regained some sense of consciousness as Minna felt a hand clasp around one of her breasts. Minna blushed and tried to hit the hand away.

"Mio stop it; not in public ok." Minna whispered to her very drunk lover whose reddened face was smiling at her.

"I don't care if people find out I want to make you… feel like a woman tonight… *hiccup*" Mio said to her. Minna blushed.

"Ok well I am going to take Mio to bed now it looks like she has had a little too much to drink now." Minna said to the group.

"Ok Good night." Frost said to her. Minna dragged Mio back to their room and helped her get out of her PT uniform that she was wearing.

"Honestly Mio, you can't handle your liquor worth a damn can't you?" Minna more stated then asked. Mio slurred something incomprehensible back to her before slipping back into unconsciousness. Well Mio would have a horrible headache in the morning to remind her why she shouldn't drink. Minna helped Mio into bed before getting out of her clothes and hopping into bed with her lover. Minna stroke her hand through Mio's hair which elicited a brief moan of pleasure. Minna then planted a kiss on Mio's lips before turning out the lights and going to sleep.

Fort Campbell USA

Flight Lieutenant Hanna Justina Marseille

22:23 local time

Hanna was rather bored right now. She was having a hard time getting drunk and was increasingly horny for some reason. It pissed her off that Frost was for the time being off limits and she wasn't sure if any of the witches were a loose mark so she couldn't easily get one into bed with her and all of the guys in the 141 other than Frost were practically ancient so that was a no go for her. Well there was Cryska the attractive looking Russian sniper sitting across from her. But in her experience Orussian girls were not particularly good lovers. Hanna remembered the time when she seduced an Orussian barmaid back in Britannia; she was a looker that was for sure but when she went down on Hanna she just licked her like she was licking a lollipop or something. Hanna left that encounter rather frustrated and unsatisfied. Sure it could have just been that girl but she didn't want to risk having another unsatisfying encounter. Hanna then looked up and noticed Isabella; now that was an attractive girl, and from what she had heard from some of the girls who had been to Neue Karlsland those Latin girls were really passionate in bed. A lustful grin crossed Hanna's face as she got up and headed for Isabella.

"Hey Isabella you look a little lonely." Hanna said to Isabella who looked up from her drink.

"Oh no I am fine." Isabella said to her. "Thanks for asking though." She then stated to Hanna who smiled.

"No problem; hey do you mind if I sit with you?" Hanna asked the young girl. Hmm how old was Isabella eighteen, nineteen? Well old enough to be fucked by her that was for sure. Hanna thought to herself.

"Suit yourself." Isabella stated as Hanna sat down.

"So Isabella… I don't know about you but I am getting a little bored with this party. Do you want to get out of here?" Hanna asked her. Isabella shrugged.

"And do what?" She asked Hanna who smiled lustfully.

"Oh you know… get to know each other." Hanna said to her. Isabella's face didn't change.

"You mean have sex?" she asked dead pan.

"Well I didn't want to come off as that direct but if you want to I am sure we can find a nice quite place to explore each other's bodies. Besides I hear you Latin girls are real hellcats in bed." Hanna purred to her prey who shrugged.

"Well I don't know about that." Isabella said to Hanna who put a hand on Isabella's.

"You know Isabella; every girl I have been with has been thoroughly satisfied with the experience. Hell most girls climax in just a few minutes of having me touch them." Hanna told Isabella who didn't look phased.

"Really?" Isabella asked. Hanna smiled like a Cheshire Cat.

"Well if you don't believe me why don't you come to bed with me and find out?" Hanna suggested but before Isabella responded Cryska was behind her and placed one hand on Isabella's breast and the other between her legs.

"No, Isabella belongs to me not you!" Cryska stated. Isabella looked up at the sliver haired Russian girl.

"I didn't know I belonged to anyone." Isabella stated. Cryska looked down to Isabella and smiled.

"Nonsense you are my future wife." She said to Isabella. This gave Hanna an idea.

"Well then why don't I give you two a wedding present and we can go back to my room and have a little pre-wedding party?" Hanna said to them.

"Isn't anyone curious about my opinion in all of this?" Isabella asked them.

"Shh my little kitten; don't be shy." Cryska said to Isabella as she rubbed one of her hands gently against Isabella's cheek. Cryska then looked to Hanna. "Now shoo horny school girl, shoo." Cryska said to Hanna with a grin on her face. Hanna rolled her eyes and went back to her table. It looks like she wasn't going to get laid tonight. Oh well she was just going to have to enjoy herself later tonight; but for now she was going to try and make her own fun. Hanna looked to the young Fusoan witch Yoshika who was sipping her tea. Hanna got an idea.

"Hey little kitten do you mind getting me some more beer please?" Hanna asked Yoshika who nodded.

"Sure thing." She said as she got up and went to the kitchen. Hanna grabbed a bottle of vodka on the table and poured a few shots worth into Yoshika's teapot. Now things were going to get interesting.

Fort Campbell USA

Sergeant Yoshika Miyafuji

22:40 local time

Yoshika had been pleasantly surprised by the American food. It was a little heavy for her tastes but it was still quite good. Now Yoshika was full and was just sipping on her tea. It was strange this tea seemed to taste better than she remembered it did. After every glass Yoshika wanted to have another, then another, then another. Things seemed to become blurry and Yoshika started to hiccup and had trouble focusing on anything. Yoshika for some reason couldn't get her mind off of Lynne's breasts. Yoshika imagined how soft they would feel in her hands and Lynne moaning in pleasure as she squeezed and sucked on them. Then for some reason Yoshika couldn't remember anything until the next morning when she would wake up with a horrible headache.

Fort Campbell USA

Sergeant Lynnette Bishop

22:50 local time

Yoshika for some reason didn't look so good. Her face was flushed and she began to hiccup a bit and slur her words. Then Yoshika got up and staggered to Lynne's side of the table and grabbed Lynne's hand.

"Come one Lynne let's go." Yoshika slurred with a smile on her face. What was up with Yoshika she wasn't acting the way she normally does.

"What where to?" Lynne asked her friend.

"Come on… Come on." Yoshika said as she tugged on Lynne's hand. Lynne got up and Yoshika dragged her out of the room to the section of the base that the 501st was using. They went to the common areas in the bases and Yoshika looked around to make sure no one was there.

"Yoshika why did you drag me here what is going on?" Lynne asked. Then Yoshika got a mischievous grin and swiftly moved behind her and placed her hands on Lynne's breasts and began to massage them gently over her clothing. "Yoshika… what are you… doing?" Lynne asked weakly. Normally when Eila or Francesca touched her breasts Lynne would freak out and try to break away but this time was different. Yoshika's touches felt good and waves of pleasure went throughout her body.

"Nothing that you won't enjoy." Yoshika responded, as she continued to fondle the Britannian witch's ample bosom. Lynne bit her bottom lip to stifle a moan of pleasure. Lynne then put a hand on one of Yoshika's and lowered it to the bottom of her shirt. Yoshika took the hint and lifted up Lynne's shirt and pushed up her bra exposing her milky white breasts. "Hmm these are really nice." Yoshika said as she began to massage Lynne's exposed breasts. Lynne let out a moan and pressed her back up against Yoshika as the young Fusoan witch grinded against her. Yoshika had one hand let go of Lynne's breast and lower itself down to Lynne's waist and slid it into the front of her shorts and into her panties. Lynne felt Yoshika's fingers go across her moistening snatch and began to caress it. Then Lynne heard a whistle and saw Hanna come out from around one of the corners with a video camera in hand.

"Don't stop now make her cum." Hanna said lustfully. Lynne screamed and shook off Yoshika's hands and pulled down her top.

"Hanna give me that camera!" Lynne said as she went for Hanna and tried to grab the camera away from the taller witch who smiled.

"Oh this little thing no I think I want to keep that video for myself." Hanna teased as she held the camera over her head. Lynne tried to grab the camera but to no avail. "Ah you want this back you got to work for it." Hanna teased as she kept the camera out of Lynne's reach. Then Erica grabbed the camera from Hanna's hand and pulled out the recording disk and crushed it.

"Seriously Hanna that was going too far; first you spike Yoshika's tea with vodka then you film Lynne and Yoshika getting intimate that is too much even for you." Erica said to Hanna who sighed.

"What I was only messing around." Hanna said. Lynne's heart sank. Lynne had been hoping that Yoshika was being assertive and this was her way of showing Lynne that she liked her. But if Yoshika had been drunk that could have just been the alcohol making her act weird. Lynne began to cry and Hanna lifted an eyebrow. "What's the matter? The tape was destroyed no one is going to see you and Yoshika get it on with each other." Hanna asked. Erica punched her in the ribs softly.

"Idiot Lynnette likes Yoshika and the first time they start something Yoshika was intoxicated." Erica told Hanna who had a genuine look of regret on her face.

"Fuck… shit Lynne I am sorry I didn't know." Hanna said to her as Lynne sobbed. Lynne looked to Yoshika who had passed out drunk and cried even harder. Did Yoshika really like her and the booze brought it out or had it just been a booze induced lustful advance. Lynne wouldn't know for a while. Hanna put a hand on Lynne. "Hey look I know I fucked up here but I want to make it up to you ok. I will help you win Yoshika heart ok? And I promise that I won't pull shit like this again." Hanna said to her. Lynne stopped sobbing.

"How can I trust you?" Lynne asked. Hanna smiled at her, a genuine smile not some phony shark smile.

"Look I have a soft spot for girls in their first love and besides Erica will try and kick my ass if I try something like this again. Won't you Erica?" Hanna asked Erica who nodded.

"Damn right I will. Don't worry Lynne I promise we will help you win over Yoshika we swear it." Erica told her. Lynnette smiled at them and Hanna wiped Lynne's tears away. Lynne believed them. Lynnette would win over Yoshika's heart no matter what, even if she had to fight her way through the entire Russian Army to do so. At the time Lynne had no idea just how true those words would be.

Fort Campbell USA

Flying Officer Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen

00:11 local time

Eila was really nervous. Eila was with Sanya in their room together in their underwear sitting on the bed. Eila wasn't sure what she should do next. Should she be aggressive and pin Sanya down and fuck her like she did with her last sexual partner or should she take it slow and let Sanya take the lead. Eila after much internal debate decided to ask her.

"Sanya are you sure you still want to do this? I am ok if you want to wait for a while before we have sex." Eila asked Sanya who looked absolutely enchanting tonight; those emerald green eyes; her silky smooth milk white skin; her short grey hair lying across her bare shoulders. Sanya smiled at her and Eila was entranced she would do whatever Sanya wanted to tonight.

"It's ok Eila I want to tonight." Sanya told her. Eila's heart skipped a beat. "But I am still a virgin I don't know if I am going to be any good." Sanya said shamefully. Eila took her hand and looked her in the eye before smiling softly.

"Its ok, don't worry we will take it slow together alright?" Eila said to Sanya who nodded. Eila leaned in and planted a kiss upon Sanya's soft lips; their tongues messaged one another gently as they interlocked their fingers and Sanya fell back with Eila on top of her. Eila broke away from the kiss and began to plant soft kisses on Sanya's neck slowly working her way down to Sanya's collarbone. Sanya let out a soft moan of pleasure as Eila began to kiss her there. Eila helped Sanya out of her sleep shirt and took off her own bra. Eila took a moment to look upon Sanya's beautiful small breasts. Eila placed one of her hands on Sanya's breast and gave it a soft squeeze as she went back to kissing Sanya's neck and collarbone before working her way down to Sanya's breasts. Eila began to softly kiss Sanya's left breast which elicited a soft purr of pleasure from Sanya. Eila then moved to the other breast and did the same thing. Eila then she began to place her lips around Sanya's nipples as she massaged them with her mouth. Sanya let out a slightly louder moan as she began to squirm around a bit in pleasure. As Eila did this her left hand didn't leave Sanya's left breast gently caressing it with her hand. Eila pulled away which made Sanya give her a look of protest. "Don't worry now I am going to make you feel really good." Eila told Sanya who nodded. Eila pulled down Sanya's panties revealing her clean shaven snatch. Eila smiled and spoke. "Clean shaven I see you must have really wanted me tonight." Eila teased. Sanya blushed.

"Stop it Eila you are embarrassing me." Sanya weakly protested. Eila smiled to her.

"Don't worry I know just how to make it up to you." Eila said she began to kiss Sanya's inner thigh working her way up to her glistening pink cunt. Eila began to slowly lick Sanya's sugary sweet snatch causing Sanya to begin breathing heavily and clutching the sheets of the bed tightly. Eila worked her way up and picked up the pace; she knew all the right spots to get her lover off. After Eila had gotten Sanya sufficiently wet enough she began to caress her partner's cunt with two of her fingers before gently pressing them inside of her. Sanya gasped in pleasure as Eila slowly moved her fingers back and forth inside Sanya. Eila then began to lick the top of Sanya's snatch to hurry her work along. Within five minutes Sanya began to cry out in Orussian as waves of pleasure wracked her body. Eila kissed Sanya on the lips and then spoke. "I love you Sanya; more than anything in the world." She stated to her lover.

"I love you to Eila. I would do anything for you even die for you if necessary." She replied. Eila smiled and went in for another kiss. Sanya rolled over on top of Eila and began to kiss her neck and collarbone trying to replicate her lover's moves. Sanya began to kiss Eila's breasts sending electric shocks of ecstasy throughout Eila's body. Sanya then worked her way down and began to gently lick Eila's snatch slowly picking up the pace. Eila placed a hand on the back of Sanya's head pushing it in closer to Eila's snatch. Within minutes Eila had climaxed and Sanya smiled.

"You sure it was your first time?" Eila jokingly asked Sanya who chuckled.

"Yes I am sure I guess I just have a good teacher." Sanya said as she crawled up onto Eila and began to make out with her. They stayed like that for several minutes before exhaustion took hold and they fell asleep in each other arms.

Flight Lieutenant Gertrude Barkhorn

01:00 local time

"Hey is Lucchini alright?" Gertrude asked Shirley who was waiting in the common areas for Trudy in a white bath robe.

"Yeah she is ok she will just have to sleep it off but she should be fine in the morning." Shirley told Gertrude who smiled.

"That's good." She told Shirley. Then Erica came from around the corner.

"Ah Charlotte, Trudy it is good to see you two I actually wished to speak with you." Erica told them.

"Ah what is it Frau?" Gertrude asked Erica.

"Well Shirley I wanted to ask you if we could switch rooms so I can hang out more with Francesca and you can get some more time with Trudy." Erica asked Shirley who smiled and nodded.

"Sure well I will have to ask Francesca if she is ok with that but I sure she will be. Do you want to share a room together Trudy?" Shirley asked Gertrude whose heart fluttered.

"Yes I would love to share a room with you Shirley." Gertrude replied. The red haired Liberion witch smiled to Trudy.

"Ah that is good because I have a surprise for you when we are alone." Shirley said seductively, as she led Trudy back to her room. They entered Gertrude's room and Gertrude locked the door behind them for privacy. Shirley took off her robe revealing a lacey pair of pink lingerie. "I managed to find that lingerie that you liked me to wear back in our world so much." Shirley said to her as she closed in.

"Oh I see well I have to say I like it better when it on the floor by our bed." Trudy said slyly as she closed in on Shirley and kissed her. Shirley wrapped her arms around Gertrude and began to kiss her intensely as Gertrude unclasped Shirley's bra and began to knead her breasts softly. Shirley let Gertrude's hair down as she undid the hair ties that Gertrude used for her ponytails. Gertrude then pulled away and lifted Shirley up and pushed her onto the bed. Shirley looked up hungrily at her anticipating what would come next. Then Gertrude remembered something and stopped.

"Trudy, what's wrong?" Charlotte asked her.

"Shirley I want us to start getting serious. I don't think it is fair to either of us if we keep doing whatever it is we are doing." Gertrude told Shirley as she sat down on the bed. Shirley leaned up and placed a hand on Trudy's shoulder.

"What do you mean, get serious?" Shirley asked her.

"I mean… Shirley go out on a date with me. A real one; let me take you dancing and out to dinner ok." Gertrude told Shirley who thought for a moment as a genuine look of surprise shot across her face.

"… Ok yeah let's do it. I want to go out on a date with you Gertrude." Shirley replied. Gertrude's heart soared as Shirley told her the good news. "But can we at least cuddle in bed together?" Shirley asked. Gertrude nodded quickly. Shirley went to put her bra back on when Gertrude stopped her.

"Oh don't worry you don't have to put that back on." Gertrude said lustfully. Shirley smiled to her and a twinkle appeared in her eyes.

"Oh but that wouldn't be fair you would be dressed and I would be topless." Shirley said slyly. Gertrude slowly undressed herself as Shirley watched lustfully.

"Is this better?" Trudy asked coyly.

"Hmm much better." Shirley said as she got under the covers of the bed. Trudy followed her and wrapped an arm around Shirley's waste. Trudy spent the night wide awake spending every second of it mentally thanking Erica for what she had done for her.

Fort Bragg USA

General David Petraeus

14:13 local time

"Ok so right now we are going to show off some joint maneuvers between some of the reactivated units in our armed forces." Major Hale said to David who nodded. Captain Hale had personally asked for him and three very nervous looking Army Rangers to be transferred to Task Force 141 which David had refused. David Petraeus wanted Captain now Major Hale to be a company level officer in the Experimental Warfare Battalion that might soon be renamed as the Joint Strike Force. Basically they would be the next generation of the Marine Expeditionary Force. The Joint Strike Force or JSF for short would be made up of elite soldiers from all of the main branches of the armed forces and would use the new Obama class fast attack carriers and San Antonio class assault ships as launching platforms for assaults around the world or against the Neuroi whatever happened first. David chuckled to himself as he thought of the three Rangers who thanked David profusely for not throwing them in "with those crazy super soldiers". David then proceeded to dash their hopes when he assigned them and the remaining Rangers of the 1st Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment to Fort Campbell to train the new recruits to the Rangers. So David imagined that they would get rather close with those super soldiers in question real soon. David went back to the watching the company of M60A3s carrying out maneuvers while AH-1Gs provided air cover with miniguns and rocket pods blazing. Ah this brought him back to his days when he first joined the Army in the 1970s. Overhead a flight of B-52Hs that had been recently upgraded as part of Operation Refrigerator performed an Alpha Strike on a simulated target five kilometers away. Rolling thunder was right whatever was suppose to be there was now very dead as hundreds of 340kg bombs smashed into the targets. "Ok so where the hell are the F-14s they were supposed to be here an hour ago?" Major Hale shouted into the radio. "What do you mean they weren't given the right take off time whose fuck up was that I will kick his ass myself… I don't care just fix it." Major Hale holstered his radio and looked to General Petraeus and shrugged. "Sorry sir an administrative error occurred." Major Hale told him.

"Will the Super Tomcats be able to fly today?" David asked Nathan Hale who nodded.

"Yes sir I hear they are getting off the ground as we speak." Nathan told him.

"Good it has been to long since the last time I saw the F-14s in action." David said to Major Hale as he looked back to the field to see the M60A3s firing their 105mm canons.

Makeshift Airfield near Fort Bragg USA

Captain Marcus Snow "Swordsman"

14:20 local time

"Well Jack this is downright strange." Marcus said to his RIO Jack who raised an eyebrow as they headed towards their waiting Tomcat.

"What do you mean sir?" Jack asked him.

"Well don't you find it weird that
the U.S. military is freaking out and activating Operation Refrigerator? Hell I got called out of retirement to fly for the USN off of the Kitty Hawk. It just seems weird." Marcus said to Jack who shrugged.

"I guess maybe Obama thinks that things are about to get uglier than an episode of The Real Housewives of Detroit." Jack stated.

"Yeah maybe but still this seems to be a little overkill don't you think?" Marcus stated to Jack as he climbed up the latter into his Super Tomcat. Marcus squeezed himself into the cockpit. He was a big man 100kg of pure muscle and 193cm tall. But he was a gentle giant despite looking like a stereotypical black convict that you would see in most prison movies something that infinitely annoyed him. Jack on the other hand was 179cm tall and 80kg and whiter then snow (his words not mine) Marcus thought.

"Well I am not the one who writes the checks so it doesn't matter to me. Anyway let's start our preflight check shall we." Jack stated to Marcus who began to do the systems check.

It went by many names; but it preferred to call itself the "Architect". It was older than death itself and was a being of immense power capable of bending reality to its will in whatever plane of existent it currently inhabited. It could rip jets apart, send entire tank battalions flying through the air and disassemble a battleship bolt by bolt. It could even make a normal human go blind just by making eye contact with it. The Architect turned its eyes on the human military base called Fort Bragg. It watched as the humans desperately tried to build up their military in the vain effort to stop his arrival. But humanity's fate was already sealed; soon their Judas would complete the ritual just as he promised and the Great Harvest could begin. And when that happened, not men, not tanks, not warships and not even the twelve witches could stop it. If the Architect could smile it would right now as humanity's futility amused it ever so much. Yes soon the Neuroi would purge humanity from that world as well.
