Jaune made it back to Reggie and Yogi's place and picked up four guys.
"Let me see a gun." Jaune asked.
"Yes, your majesty." One of them handed him their sidearm a colt 1911.
*Cocking*
"Ok, no shooting. I'll do the talking ok?"
"Yes, sir."
"Yes my lord."
"Yes, your majesty"
With that Jaune turned and kicked in the door.
"I'm back dirt bags, and I brought backup!" Reggie ran over to an empty crate and climbed in it and closed the lid. Yogi just ran in the opposite direction.
Jaune padded one of his troopers. "Stop him." He pointed towards Yogi.
Jaune padded a different one. "Get him out." He pointed to the crate.
Reggie was yanked out of the crate. "Hang on, my friend. I know you're angry with Donald for what he did but, we were in Barney."
"He means trouble." Yogi was brought in gun to his back in all. "And it;s Yogi, you cunt."
"Put em up against the wall, then line up next to me." He said to the troopers.
The twos backs were up against the wall. "I still wanna shoot you both." Jaune stepped closer.
"Huh- listen! I don't blame you for wanting to put s hole in Reggie, here." Yogi said gesturing to Reggie.
"Look! W-We're trapped in this bloody country... like you, alright! They nicked our passports and they're getting up to fuck over folks... like you!" Reggie explianed.
"We can't go back to Vacuo after that incident with the cow." Yogi said.
"Cows, plural." Reggie clarified.
"Right, cows. So many cows." Yogi became lost in thought.
"Did you hear there's a million hits on Dustube so far." Reggie said.
"Really!?" Yogi tuned to face Reggie.
"Hyeah, it was-"
*Bang*
Jaune fired a shot between the two, causing them to flinch and draw back.
"Look look look! We- we thought Noore wanted to parley. We didn't know she was going to throw you in the arena naked." Reggie explained putting on a weak smile.
"Yes we did. That's why you bet against him." Yogi said making Reggie give him a 'seriously?' look.
*Guns cocking*
"I only technically bet against him. I-I was trying to cover the spread, my old china." Reggie reassured.
"He means mate. I, however, had no such doubts in you. I bet on you, mate. Check it out." Yogi pulled out a bag with Lien in it.
"Three hundred thousand. Which I'm more than willing to split with you uh... sixty to forty." Jaune aimed his gun right at Yogi's head.
"Forty to sixty?" The MILFs joined in and pointed their guns at Yogi.
"Seventy to thirty?" Reggie gave a quick rap on Yogi's arm.
"*Sigh* Right, just take the whole lot. You deserve it, fighting with your tackle flip flopping about."
"Oh, very impressed." Reggie said.
Yogi raised and eyebrow at him. "With his tackle."
Reggie turned to look at him. "With his fighting you tit! It was very Gladiator."
"I would say more three hundred."
"I want you two to find my sword, now!" Jaune commanded.
"Ok, well we actually did look into it when you were gone." Reggie said.
"It was out of pure curiosity. Smoke?" Yogi added.
"Sword." Jaune said sticking his gun to Yogi's chest.
"Man is this anyway to treat you people?" Yogi asked.
"Only the ones who try and kill me."
"Ok, you know? That's fair. Ok so we used the description of you sword to find it actually. Um, here." Reggie picked up Jaune's weapon from among a pile of trash. Jaune took the sword and clipped it to his belt.
"Where was it?"
"We found it in the possession of a weapons smith, apparently he was suppose to fix it for the Empress. When we told him it was yours and we've suppose to get it back for him he cried on the spot, could believe he was working on the Crown's weapon. Sharpened and cleaned it up real quick and he said he was ready to die now." Reggie said.
"Why would he cry?" Jaune asked.
"Well he was one of those types who have lost all hope in all and if he mess up one thing he's dead. You know most people outside the cities."
"... Ok well, tell him thanks." Jaune made to leave.
"I think he's already dead by now." Yogi said.
Jaune stopped before the door.
"Monty almighty." He thought before leaving.
They left in a armor truck and got back to Quabec real fast.
"Were is Radec?" Jaune asked a MILF.
"In the command building."
Jaune walked into said command building and found Radec and some woman in an Atleisn Specialist uniform.
"Radec." Jaune said making him turn away from his conversation.
"Your majesty, I see you have your sword back." Radec said geutering to his hip.
"Yeah, Reggie and Yogi found it real quick." Jaune said
"It's been twelve hours, Sir."
"... Wow time flew by." Jaune thought.
"Emperor Jaune Arc, may I introduce, specialist Winter Schnee of the Atlas military. Shes a representative of sorts."
"So your the crown emperor of Molos? The one who will be running the country if we over throw the current monarchy?" Winter stepped forward.
"Yup. That's me." Jaune said with a grin.
"How underwhelming." Winter deadpanned.
"Watch your tone around our leader, white." MILF guarding the door said in defense.
"Tell me 'Emperor' what were you doing while gone?" Winter asked.
"I was trying to find and get my sword back, when negotiations failed I brought out the troopers to better make a deal." Jaune said.
"*Scoff* How barbaric." She said.
"So it's fine when Atlas rolls out an army to strong arm a town into giving up their resources, but when I use it after diplomacy it's so wrong." Jaune said condescendingly.
Winter opened her mouth to retort, but no words came out and instead she narrowed her eyes and backed off. Radec and the other officers smiled or chuckled at the scene.
"Your majesty, I've assist our situation and we cannot reach the capital without going through Reach, the problem with that is the Reach territories is the primary hub of eighty percent of MDI's military might. It houses two thirds of their air fleet and our handfuls of armored aircraft is no match for MDI's purpose build warships. We have however come with what he believe is a solution. Look here." Radec gestured to the map of the Harvest and Drado territories.
"We have the bulk of our forces here in Harvest, we're thinking if we hit launch multiple attacks on Paul's outpost here, here, and here. We can pressure him into calling for support from the fleet and army to reinforce the local militia. We can do the same in Drado when we can move more troops into the region. With the army and fleets forces moved out we could launch an incursion into Reach and maybe get a foot hold in there at last." Radec finish.
"Radec, what would happen if Paul was captured by us?" Jaune asked.
"Um, well we would gain a major political victory and use it as evidence that we could win this war." Radec said.
"How will that effect the plan?" Jaune asked.
"We would give hope to the people combine that with your arrival and we could push for more volunteers, bulk up your army." Radec replied.
"Reach would respond?"
"Yes, they would need to the militias here would panic with Paul gone."
"How would Drado react?"
"Yuri is a coward, he would see the rise here and mobilize for a strong defense. More checkpoints, curfews, a full platoon in each town, the MDI air fleet and army would probably be deployed. It would be difficult to get in or out."
"To be clear, all this would happen if Paul is captured? Right?"
"What are you getting at here Arc?" Winter stepped closer.
"Radec, scrap this plan." Radec, winter, and the other MILF officers looked confused all to hell.
"My Emperor please excuse me but what the hell are you thinking?" A feminine MILF officer said.
"A lot of people will die if we go ahead with this plan, but we take Paul we could, no would gain a lot more then by outpost hoping." Jaune said confidently.
"We can't capture Paul. He's too well protected in the governor's manor. It would be a massacre if we attacked his home." Winter rationalze.
"I agree with the specialist." One of the officers said and the others mutter and agreement.
"You all... agree with me." Winter said with wide eyes.
"Don't go thinking it's anything special specialist. Even a monkey will type Shakespeare given enough time." Radec said.
"Look while I was in Norre's area she helped me survive." Jaune explained.
"Why?" An officer asked.
"Because Paul has her family." Jaune finally said.
"So Noore is willing to betray Paul if we find and smuggle her family out of Molos?" Radec asked.
"Yes."
"Couldn't hurt to try?" Someone said.
"You crazy? We can't trust her just because!"
"We should put it to a vote!"
"No, the Emperor should decide!"
All eyes went to Jaune, he wasn't embarrassed by the attention. He had actually counted on it to happen.
"We take Noore's offer, it's unnecessary to waste time lives and, what is clear to me, limited resources on a plan no one here clearly wants to partake in." Jaune said nailing it on the head.
"I still think the original has less unknowns in it." Winter said.
"The Emperor has spoken and we have to trust his judgment." A MILF officer defended.
"In the mean time everyone else can get troops and supplies into Durado, so we can start an uprising there." Jaune said.
"I still think this plan is extremely reckless." Winter said frimly.
"Winter why are you here?" Jaune asked.
"What?" Winter asked.
"Why are you here in Molos?" Jaune asked.
"To assist local elements in their rebellion." Winter said.
"That puts you under my command correct?"
"Yes-." Winter realize what he was getting at and narrowed her eyes.
"As you superior, I'm ordering you to shut your mouth now. Understood?" Jaune commanded sternly.
"Yes." Winter muttered.
"Yes what?" Jaune raised an eyebrow.
"Yes sir." Winter said gritting her teeth.
"Good, I'll just call Noore-." The door busted opened.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I just got a transmission from Nash at the northern armory!"
"Well, what is it?" Radec asked.
"A spy reported to him that the MDI militia is going to launch an attack in a few minutes. Nash is requesting as many reinforcements to cover the removal of all the weapons."
"... Ok! Tell him I'm in route with backup." Radec said, he spoke into a intercom.
"Attention I need all assault troops to ready your weapons and get in your trucks. We need to reenfore Nash's armory!"
"What's the armory?" Jaune asked one of the officers.
"We have two in Harvest Nash's supplies half our forces here and airships with ammo, weapons, and fuel." He said.
"Radec wait! I'm coming with you!" Jaune said.
"No, we need you alive, the fighting will get intense there." Radec said.
"I'm coming Radec end of story. Winter! come!" The three went out and into the trucks.
They drove for forty minutes until they reached a war zone. The armory was put into what appeared to be a mine, they spread out and let the tucks with mounted guns take the lead. They all ended in front of the mine and dismounted. Radec took Jaune and winter to Nash.
"Get these crates loaded up now!" Nash cried out and MILFs ran by loading up the Trucks the brought.
"What happened to the tucks you have?" Radec asked.
"They left and hour ago to deliver supplies! MDI planned this well, but I doubt they counted on a quick response though! Ah ha!" Nash smiled.
"That hill, did you men make it?" Winter asked pointing at the hill.
"Yeah, it's part of our defense strategy, those bastards need to get over it to attack us, and it's loose climb for there jeeps, it's our kill zone." Nash explained.
"Incoming!" Someone yelled out as mortar rounds landed.
"Ok, you majesty, stay close to me." Radec said.
They ran to cover and Radec shoved a Thompson submachinegun into Winter's hands.
"Show me what a specialist is good for!" Radec added.
MDI militia came over the hill and they open fire. The first wave came full force, and the next one and the one after that and the one after that, eventually MDI must have when 'To hell with waves!' and MDI came pouring over the hill. It kept going that way, MILF trucks were bowing up as the MDI threw grenades. Until they stopped pouring over the hill and the remaining stopped and turned back.
"Their falling back!"
"Woo!"
"Hell yeah!"
"We did it!"
"Nash we have an opening lets go!" Radec cried out.
"We still have some crates left!" Nash yelled back.
"Nash it's now or never!"
"Ok! Everyone mount up we are leaving!"
They all got in trucks and made for the woods.
*Stomp*
*Stomp*
*Stomp-*
Just then Jaune saw a massive mech walk in with a big gun to it's left, a smaller gun on it's right and a mouted machine gun to the top.
"Oh shit it's a M7 Vertical Tank!" Radec cried out.
"What the heck is a vertical tank?" Jaune couldn't help but wonder.
It fired it's main gun and blew up one of the ammo trucks. The explosion knock Jaune and other trucks around them to the ground. Jaune was in the bed of the truck so he was thrown out, he landed on his head, but it didn't break his neck. Others weren't so lucky. The monstrous tank, as Jaune would now call it, came turned and fired again. Jaune's head was ringing and he saw Nash kneel down with an RPG, but he as gunned down with machine gunfire from the VT before he could fire. Jaune eyed the launcher and begin to crawl. He crawled over and picked it up. He slowly, but surely got to his feet and took aim. He fired the rocket and it connected but bounced off. Jaune grabbed another rocket and loaded it, he took aim and fired. It bounced off, the VT was turning around to face Jaune. He loaded and fried another rocket to the same effect. Jaune was about to run when he saw someone yelling at him from behind one of the flipped trucks.
"I- w- -ack."
He's ears were still ringing.
"It- wea- t- back-"
Words were starting to form.
"It h- weak arm- i- th- back!"
"It's what?"
"It has weak armor in the back! Hit the back!"
Jaune looked at the tank and got a decent look at the side of the rear.
"It'll do!" Jaune cried out.
He grabbed the last rocket and fired, the rocket soared through the air...
It still bounced off. The VT's top mounter machine gun opened up on Jaune and gunned him down. He fell flat as his life slowly left his body.
No, I'm just screwing with all of you ;3.
The rocket connected and with a massive explosion destroyed the VT.
"Oh, thank Monty." Jaune thought as he looked at the burning wreck.
"Jaune! Are you ok!" Radec came over and pulled Jaune to his feet.
"Let's get the hell out of here!" Radec loaded Jaune into one of the remaining trucks and they left.
