Chapter 8- Rabble! Rabble! Rabble!


[The roads between Italica and the 1st gate camp.]

The courier sat with his stealth suit and his Laser Rifle on his back. He tried stretching but a sharp pain stabbed itself on his back. His body was still sore from the followers check up, then again he thought it was necessary. His implants were acting up as of late.

The two women across him are Princess Pina and some brown haired knight girl, he didn't bother to learn her name. Six thought that he would even meet these people again. Next to him was Lucy in the Chinese stealth suit and with a Laser RCW laying on her lap. The Sergeant was the other person next to him, he wore the new tesla devil horn Vegas pattern power armor, or the V-T6 for short. The road towards the camp in a convoy of four trucks and two tanks. but it use to be two of his trucks.

His Brother was kind was kind enough to send him a small army of diplomats and bodyguards for the situation. The tanks, on the other hand, seem a bit much, then again he's only coming to make face. The best part was that 101 moved back to the base to properly fortified it and to deal with a volcano or something. She was paranoid that this was going to end tits up. The courier knew that somebody would need to fuck up royally in order to do that. They were both civilized people from educated backgrounds.

Then his convoy came to a sudden halt, jerking him and the passengers forward.

"Son of a bitch!" The courier cursed.

The Sergeant moved to protect his boss and Lucy armed herself with her newly issued equipment. The ladies, on the other hand, were still recovering from the sudden stop and were just barely getting up. The courier couldn't listen to the outside due to the engines, so he decided to jump out, despite the protest to his sergeant. He pulled out the laser rifle and kept it aimed at the floor, Six didn't want to shoot a passing family of duck by accident. With both of his companions in step behind him, he saw more fancy knights. They wore pearly white plate armor with gold accidents.

The courier growled and moved closer. They barked out orders in the native's language and drew their swords. Their horse balked wildly at the engines constant growling and their riders gave them a proper kick to calm them. Then they barked orders again. The courier stopped at their second warning.

"Again! I demand to know who leads these metal beast!" A blond hair knight ordered.

The courier just rolled his shoulders at the uncomfortable situation. These were technically their enemies as for now but he did have their leader in the back. He wonders what would they do at that knowledge. These women could not cause much trouble due to the sheer amount of firepower they held. The courier just jumped into the deep end and said fuck it.

"Look, knight of the empire we are the invading army and we could give less than a fuck of your demands." The courier said in their language.

The blond's eyes widen, not just at his statement but at her Princess turned the corner from the Trucks rear end, wondering in just in time. "Princess! What are you doing here! Aren't you supposed to be at the city of Italica, defending it from bandits!"

The redhead just brushed away some loose hair nervously. "It was taken by the demons and I created a cess fire with them. We are currently moving to a diplomatic meeting with the green men."

The courier just gave a fake smile and turned to the Princess. "Yes, and part of the deal to come with us was to cause less trouble, not more." The courier said authoritative tone.

"Yes! Yes! I meant it but this is unexpected." Pina pleaded.

Bozes boiled at the sight of her Princess groveling and decided to act. "Worry not my princess! We shall free you from this beast of a man!"

The Princess's face turned into one of horror and the courier just chuckled amusedly. He just took aimed and fired a red lance of light to the leading horse. Aiming to hit the animal and not the woman on it. The impact flashed boiled the horses blood and chard the flesh into ash. It's entire head disappeared and its body went limp. Falling forward and throwing its rider to the courier's feet.

The Sergeant and Lucy followed suit, killing the mounts and not the riders. Six now knew why his brother wanted him to use energy weapons, these were a clear display of their power.

Bozes recovered quickly and charged in a furry at the courier. He just sidestepped the blow and delivered a knee to the gut. Knocking the air out of her lungs.

"Stop!" The Princess screamed.

"Is that directed to me or to your subjects." the courier asked annoyed.

Pina just frowned deeply and swollen hard. "Bozes you will cease this pointless aggression and submit to my will." She said sternly.

"But Princess!" Bozes protested.

"That's enough! This peace is fragile. I will not allow you to do anything to sabotage it." Their princess ordered.

Bozes held whatever she was going to say and just took the blow to her pride. Princess Pina knew this was for the best but she couldn't let her look like a puppet either. "Demon Lord!" She said in a demanding voice that held an amount of fear. "You unnecessarily killed my knight's mounts. This cannot stand. I demand that you give an apology and give my knights some form of recompense!"

The courier gave a sideways glance to his companions, then at the women. He just shrugged. "Sure, we'll talk about after the meeting." The courier said nonchalantly. "Now let's get the meeting already, were late as it is."

"Wait what about my knights?" Pina asked the courier.

As the courier turned to get back inside she turned his head. "Tell them to go back or bring them with you. I could care less." The courier said lazily.

Pina just glances at her knights still on their knees and gulped. "With me." The princess ordered.


[At the 1st gate]

Eye's where on the large green vans and the two massive tanks with the glowing barrels. Their engines didn't growl like the ones that the men in green where used to, no they hummed with the power of the atom. To the people who owned the base, they felt a sense of anger at the ruthlessness of the visitors. To the men and women being escorted, they felt a bit of dread. It wasn't because of being behind enemy lines, no it's because they fear the man who owned new vegas. They didn't want to be turned into a labonimite or be forced into a re-educating detention center.

Lucy and the sergeant tense at the sight of being outgunned, they saw the rows upon rows of soldiers. The Princess and her knights were sweating a river and worried about keeping their clothing dry. The courier in the other hand dreaded the horrible negotiations. The sight of old men talking a second language that sounded like it repeated itself.

The transport from New Vegas came to a stop in front of a large open field. The courier stepped out and the other transports came to both bodyguards and diplomats. The guards were the regular New Vegas soldier but the people that came to represent New Vegas were unique. They wore thick blue robes, similar to the scribes of the brotherhood. Their heads were completely shaved and a large surgical line christens their skull. The courier could see the shocked faces of the troopers of the Green men, good. Shock and awe is something he excels in.

Six scanned the crowd before him and saw few men flanked by fully equipped troopers. The courier turned and activated a translation eyebot. It sprang into life with a beep. Then he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to see the face of one of his brother's diplomats. The only thing that was distinct about her was her dark skin and white badge that marked her at the leader.

"Courier, we are ready to engage in the in talks as soon as the translator comes online." She said with a deadpan voice and said it with an equally emotionless face.

Six shrugged. "Just give it a sec to boot up. I just programmed this thing on the ride here." The courier said.

"You have my thanks in programming the machine with such haste." Now her voice changed from mechanical to a enthusiastic gratefulness. It was as if her personality was switched on by remote.

The courier felt a bit uneasy at the unnatural control of her emotions. He did know it was just the implants doing their job but still, he wished his brother spared some expense in fancying them up. "It wasn't a big deal. I just took a pre-war programme and installed it. I just hope that the Japs of this world is the same to our world."

She smiled informally. "Even if they are not one in the same, I have studied the subject thoroughly and picked up enough to understand." Her voice was soft and comforting now.

Six smiled back. "Well, your showing promise and I have to admit that I'm impressed. Not many people can learn a language that fasts."

The bot hummed its program readiness and started floating away. "Thank you and shall we proceed?"

The courier nodded and moved on. along with smiles and his personal bodyguards and smiles as his diplomat. The woman six already met moved with another group of diplomats to meet with other speakers of the other world. Each group had at least one eye bot hovering behind them.

Koji Sugawara had the First lieutenant Yanaida Akria and Sergeant First class Shino Kuribayashi at his sides. He was quite nervous at the moment. Sugawara was prepared to deal with primitive people who were being strong-armed by their superior firepower and military. It does not sound good when he thinks about it but it would have been better if they were the ones who decided the future for this new world, they are the more advanced culture. When he heard the sergeant Kuribayshi tense up was when he saw the man approaching him.

He looked ready for a war to break out at any minute, and the way he carried himself reinforced his first opinion. His followers also looked strange for a peaceful meeting. A person in thick metal armor and a woman in a form-fitting black suit followed him. Sugawara still didn't find them the weirdest of the bunch. There was a group of bald robed people besides walking to another meeting with more Japanese diplomats. Then it struck him. These could be theology government and they were bringing religious figures to act as diplomats. He dreaded this thought. They could be dragged into their own personal Afghanistan if he wasn't careful. Then when the entire situation looked it was at its worst, he saw it. It was a massive lizard creature described by the survivors. Sugawara took a deep breath and regained his composure.

The courier walked forward towards the Greenbacks and gave a polite nod. Six found them normal enough and clean, but found the woman to be a bit familiar but dismissed it. His back began to tingle again but he ignored it.

Smile's moved to greet the man. He did his best to seem appealing with a warm smile and a friendly greeting, but Sugawara still seems to hesitate to return the facade of friendly intentions. Then a man next to them who was now talking in Japanese towards their diplomats, then the eye bot started translating. Both parties were confused and then they realized that the Japanese didn't have translators if the old world and were doing it the old fashion way.

"I apologize not explaining sooner, but we have an eye bot capable of translating both sides." The eyebot translated for Smiles.

Sugawara was surprised at the reptiles ability to talk. It didn't leave him too stunned and replied quickly. "That's quite impressive technology and appreciate your efforts but my translator will be translating for me. Please understand that it just protocol and I cannot make exceptions." Sugawara said in an attempt to sound polite and reasonable at the same time.

"I understand. I should also inform you that we unexpectedly brought representatives of the empire." The vegas diplomat said.

Sugawara was stunned, not for long but it was noted by the vegas diplomat. It wasn't long for Pina and her bodyguard of knights to be out of the truck and giving their hellos. If Sugawara wanted to make any objections to the unexpected guest, then he didn't show it. He just nodded and welcomed them into their base. To the courier, this seems like a bad sign. He seemed too quick to adapt and most likely a diplomatic danger. Then his synthetic spin crawled, it was normally something he'll get id red lucy was nearby or some other person who was batshit insane. He turned around and his mouth hanged from his jaw.

In front of the courier, garbed in the uniform of the green men was the regenerating girl who was blown to hell by the dead rookie. He somewhat felt angry that she didn't stay dead as it made the rookie's death somewhat pointless. This agitated his spin somewhat, and he reached back to scratch it. This gave the little girl the wrong idea as she couldn't read the couriers expression behind his cowl.

"Hmph. I would have expected a bigger reaction, can you even give a reaction with those big green eyes of yours?" Roy Mercury attempted to tease the courier.

Six was annoyed and afraid, not of Rory that because he feels shoving a plasma grenade during the meeting would be inappropriate. Then again, she would be attacking him right now if she intended to hurt him. Six said his hello's.

"Howdy, it seems you recovered quite nicely since our last meeting. That's good." The courier said in an attempt to be nice. The unamused face immortal girl told him it didn't work.

"I'm fine but I'm not here for pleasantries boy. My Axe, where is it." She said with her arms crossed.

"Can't. Sold it." Six said in an attempt to end it quickly.

The face of the girl who seems to always seem to face a cocky smirk twisted into one of barely contained anger. "What! To who and where!" Rory demanded hunched and ready to pounce on the man.

"Dunno, to a private collector deep in America." The courier wasn't telling the truth. He did know who it was and knew that 111 would have the girl on a dissection table. Ripping her apart without rest until he knew what made her immortal. It was necessary that she didn't run off and put herself in that situation.

Rory's Eye's started to twitch and the odd spasm manifested on one of her limbs. She seems to be boiling and the promise of violence seemed to hang heavy in the air. When it looks like Rory would charge and attempt to rip six apart with her petite hand, she calmed down. Her face that was like a feral animal in a blood rage, turned calm and the killer intent that hung in the air... tripled. The courier knew what was going to happen and he really needed to defuse it now. When 6 was about to speak but Rory did it first. "I think I might just kill you with a blunt object."

The courier shrugged. "Isn't that the thing you were planning to do from the beginning. Except I have a gun and you have nothing."

The Girl grimaces and accepted that she was at a disadvantage. "I might have to grow a limb or two back but it will feel so good killing." She said pacing forward slowly.

The courier rubbed his chin to look as he was thinking. "Well, I could promise you a rematch after you get a new weapon. I'm not hard to find so it would be simpler to just wait." The courier said in his best diplomatic voice.

Rory stood there for a few seconds before turning around and walking away. She didn't stop when she was at the checkpoint and seemed to keep moving down the road until the courier lost interest. It seemed that she saw reason and followed his advise. The man just turned and jogged to catch up with the diplomats.

Six found the meeting room of the Japanese quite nice. It was clean and comfy. Though he did find it a little bland, there was no over the top decorations of the empire or the bombastic colors of vegas. It didn't really matter. He was just here to look pretty or intimidating. Either worked for him.

Lucy slipped away in the middle of the party and turned invisible. She wasn't sneaking around as that was the jobs of the moles they planted. Lucy was behind the Greenbacks and stood there watching them, clocked by her stealth suit. The Sergeant was behind Smile's and the courier, ready to protect his boss and lizard friend. Smiles were on the floor standing, as the couch wouldn't support his body.

The introduction was boring as hell. Everyone was just so professional and had that underhanded bureaucrat shit-eating smile. Even his own had the smirks, but that was necessary, he needed the best and that meant smiles had to use his namesake for the meeting. The courier just sat there and didn't even say a word, not even when they introduced him. He just sat there with a quiet aura of danger. Sugawara seems put off by this but again he recovered quickly. That couldn't be said about the princess and her bodyguards, the princess was visibly out of her element and her guards seem to have a shadow of shame looming over them.

Then the hellos and politeness ended there. It was Smile's who was first to start the meeting. "I suggest we get to know each other better. It is obvious that these gates are a tricky subject as they brought us to a new world and its people have proven themselves to be quite dangerous." Smile's said in a polite mask. "We both know the princess and her subject control abilities that just shouldn't be possible."

Pina knocked herself out of her fear born silence and contributed to the conversation. "My people have also found your weapons and tools quite foreign. We've never seen anything like it." This time it was the courier that needed to translate. He was the only one to know all three languages and it was agreed upon by the three parties.

Sugawara pointed out his point of view as well. "That could be said the same of the people of new vegas."

Smile's turned his head in confusion. Then after a moment of pondering he realized the truth. "Tell Mr. Sugawara are you from Earth and if so, what year is it?"

The Man sat up straight and his face didn't change but the courier did note that he seemed more curious. "Yes I am and it is 2015. I suppose you realized that both of our worlds may be similar but are not the same ones." Sugawara said.

Pina was confused and opted to stay out for now.

Smile's nodded in agreement. "Yes, but our records are fragmented. I don't know if we are the same world but from different times or we really are from different realities."

Suwagara raised an eyebrow. "I would respectfully ask why your record would be helpful."

The courier knew what was coming, this was going to be the turning point. He watched Lucy in her stealth suit spark for a split second. She was behind the Japanese and ready to execute a distraction. The Sergeant behind his smile's shifts his feet, ready to act on any aggression.

"Yes." The Vegas diplomat said nervously. "Our home suffered from a nuclear war. We're not sure who fired the first shot or if there are any surviving governments left. We have attempted to make contact with the other continents and even made a few connections."

Sugawara sat back and absorbed the information. He had a lot of questions but had one that itched his mind. "Tell me. What happened to Japan."

The Vegas Diplomat went dark and stalled for a few seconds before answering. "The small island was bombed into a crater and if anyone survived then had to deal with massive radioactive mist would have killed them. No one, not even ghouls could live there and we only recovered a few documents from sunken ships."

Sugawara slouched a bit in both disappointment and morning for his counterparts. "Can tell me what those records said?"

He nodded. "It was a project for the Japanese people to survive the apocalypse. They were planning to lunch colony ships towards the rings of Saturn. It also said they were planning to do it using a special invention they were building called project Gundam. We don't know what that means but I do hope it did help them." She said with sincerity and without understanding what she just implied.

Sugawara didn't react outwardly but simply nodded in confirmation. "For the purpose to avoid any conflict of interest can you tell me what happened the other continents." He asked in a monotone voice.

Smiles didn't see any problems with his request. "Australia is being ruled by clans raider who use plenty of vehicles in combat. South America's rainforests mutated and adapted to the radiation. The only humans we were to find where people who lived in multiple massive fortresses. Russia surface is overrun by mutant creatures and radiation, it's people survive by living in metros systems. Europe is being conquered by a warlord in golden power armor from technology obsessed barbarians. We haven't received much from China other than it's being saved by a martial artist known to kill you with pressure points. America is split into four nations, The NCR, New Vegas, New Boston and the Capital. As you already know, we are the Nation of New Vegas and we hold a federation with New Boston and The Capital."

Sugawara was temporarily satisfied with answers and proceeded to ask the more controversial questions. "Mr. Smiles, tell me, were you born or were you made?"

The deathclaw thought the question over and he decided to just let it all out. The reason is that these people will find out one way or another. "I was made and we have many technology people would find unethical, it's a common place where we come from. A super virus that mutates the person into a muscled green giant with a pension to kill, genetic engineered crops that could sprout parasitic spores, and we often lobotomize criminals as a capital punishment." Smiles did leave out the fact they also used synths for obvious reasons.

Any form of restraining the man had was now gone, he was worn down by surprise to more surprises. The things described were just horrifying beyond reason. As if every aspect of a science fiction horror movie came to life. Then he said something he'll regret. "That all sounds awful and are you're made from this." Sugawara said in a terrified voice.

Smiles was astonished and the what the man said. He was sure that it was an accident, but still, it offended him. "Excuse me." The deathclaw said only a split second later.

Sugawara blinked once and realized he had made a mistake before he could respond the deathclaw spoke up. His claw was raised in a motion to stop Sugawara from continuing from talking. "I apologize, I forgot that your people are far more cradled than ours." Smile's said with venom in his voice.

Sugawara made to repair the situations but one of the older and more conservative members of his task force moved in first. "You must understand only horrible situations will allow technologies like these to be commonplace." The old man attempted to explain.

"I am one of those horrible situations you just mentioned." Smile's pointed out.

The old man wasn't done. "Well, I mean it. When we talked with our troops they were attacked by a bioengineered weapon. One that had massive claws and had a sonic attack. Tell me Mr. Smiles were you one of those creatures. The ones that brutally ripped our troops apart with your claws and made their heads literally explode from those devices in your gullet?" Sugawara had to agree with the man in his ideas but now wasn't the time.

He whispered in his ear. "Don't push the matter any further. We need to create a cease-fire, not start another war."

Then Smile's responded. "Everyone in government must know how to fight in an environment as hostile as our own. Everything done was the bare minimum needed to survive."

Now old man just exploded after that comment. "YOU RIPPED MY SON IN HALF! You cannot call that the bare minimum! The bare minimum would have allowed my family to give my boy an open casket funeral. WE CAN'T ANYMORE BECAUSE YOUR KIND TORE HIS FACE OFF!"

Sugawara went limp. He didn't realize who this man was, he should have but he ended up letting this slip past him. How did he even get in here, then he noticed the guards doing nothing to stop the man and then it hit him. He remembered when the Trucks pulled in that had the bodies of lost squads. He remembers the man that burst through the crowds to see one of the bodies. Then the haunting memory of the man being a corrupt member of the cabinet had forced his connections to give him the leeway to meet his son. Now he is using those same connections to confront his son's killers.

Sugawara watches as negotiations break down and watch as they try to talk down to one another. He had only one question in his mind as this whole thing carries out, what kind of bad luck brought this here.

The Courier sit board on the couch as he watches the negotiations go as he expects. His head turns to see the Princess see her being no help. He just sighs when he hears to clicks from his radio. He sent one back to Lucy and she stood down. There was still a chance to scavenge this situation.

He just slouched and waited it out. But damn was the board out of his mind. Especially about this melodrama. He always hated these things, but he always has to attend these events when he could. The people needed to see their leaders be active in politics. Then again 101 could have attended this but no, she said she was busy. He hopes she was suffering too.


[The Great Volcano to the underworld- Xarnigalthuna]

In great wings of fire 101 flew into the fray, her newly enhanced super sledge crackling with lighting. With a thundering boom, she impacted the obsidian floor with the force of an artillery shell. Scattering her green foe away from the landing zone. Goblins and orcs stared at the armored hag in black steel armor and roared in defiance against her. These beasts of men had nothing to fear against a single woman.

101 Unslung Red flare into her shoulders and fired multiple volleys of rockets towards the bundled up enemy. Turning them all into a pulpy mass of burnt flesh and flailing limbs. The green hoard that survived was awestruck at the carnage unleash. They were not deterred from attack and decided to charge. One of the hulking orcs let a massive war cry and they charged with their Orichalcum weapons and armor. The old woman only smirked as they did and a manic smile plastered itself on her face.

"COME AND LET ME TEST MY NEW SELGE ON YOUR UGLY GREEN FACE"S!" 101 screamed in jubilation.

Her Jump pack lit up and thrust her into the melee. She impacted a large orc hoard hard and sent him flying to the crowd, giving her some breathing room. She made a sweeping swing towards the smaller goblins crowding at her feet and they all died consumed by the hungry crackle of exploding lighting. They're fleshed popped and sizzled in the heat of the enchantment. The bitch of the east didn't relent and swung her super sledge towards a pig nose orc that stood a head taller than the six-foot tall woman. The man-monster raised it metal shield in defense and when the enchanted sledge made contact the metal it bent and cracked. The orc stumbled sideways to the floor with a broken arm. 101 couldn't finish it off as another orc attempted to jumper her with a posse of goblin. She jumps away and was able to avoid the orc but his smaller friends were able to latch on in time. They crawled all over her, attempted to find an exposed soft spot to slit their small daggers into. 101 felt a sharp jab to her side and knew one of the small bastards found a way through her armor. She needed to think quickly before the orc's recovered and decided to make a full body roll. She fell forward and crushed the two goblins on her front under her bulk. Then she rolled and crushed the other small one like a steamroller. The pain the side faded as her armor inject a stimpack into her.

Once the goblins were off she felt a pair heavy footsteps and knew that the orc's got back up. She activated her jump pack for a split second, lighting anything around her on fire, included the orc moving towards her. The sudden power burst of her jump pack sent her skittering across the black floor into a wall. She impacted it hard. Her head pounded hard in her skull and felt sluggish from it. Her armor injected her with some med-x it all went away. She jumped to her feet with the powerful servos from her motorized legs. She barely dodged the mace that nearly smashed her head. It impacted the obsidian wall and pulverized the stone. 101 gripped her super sledge until her knuckles whiten and made a powerful swing. It was parried by the mace and 101 felt a leathery fist impact her helmet. It sort of reminded her of a super mutant punch but this time it came from a mythical creature from fairytale land. 101 stumbled back to the pounded wall and saw it was the same orc that broke its arm. It barked at her in its tongue but she couldn't understand the language. She didn't care.

101 rolled her shoulders and once again gripped her magical sledge. It crackled into life once again and she charged forward. Both of their weapons clashed together in a spark metal and lighting. The two fought one another with blood and grit. 101 noticed that this orc's weapon sort of looked like a torch, she even saw enchanted runes on it. She realized that it started glowed with life and flames. The weapon burst into flames and the heat was so intense than 101 could feel it through her armor. The pig face orc swung the mace and fire flowed out of the weapon. 101 powered up her jump pack and flew high into the air. She was unscathed but she needed to end the fight now. Her bird's eye view allowed her to see that her knight was incircled and fighting a massive troll man. She gave the green a glance and willed her super sledge to gather it energy. She dropped down and the orc readied to bat her out of the air and she readied one final downward swing.

The orc had the shorter weapon and 101 the better reflexes. When the two where only a few feet away, 101 swung with rage. Her timing was near perfect and her weapons longer reach. The sledge made contact and the resulting explosion of lighting made the orcs entire top half turn to ash.

101 landed on the floor with a crack and she stood back up, panting hard. Her hand moved to her ear and radioed in. "Squad gamma, report."

"We are having trouble with Frankensteins! They have a big friend and our guns are busy with the small ones!" The paladin's voice was cool under the pressure but straining.

101 didn't waste any time and readied the last of her fuel for one last long-range jump. The rockets on her back burned into life and she was thrown into the sky. The wind sang past her and her body strained at the sudden burst of movement. She felt the blood straining to keep in her head, but the woman was too stubborn to let her blood disobey her. She reached the apex of her jump and now she was falling. She started angling her body towards the massive troll, controlling her fall into a stylish glide. She reached for one of her pouches and pulled out a crystal and jabbed it into the super sledge. The weapon fizzled for a second and, finally was thundering with life. She was getting closer and closer, until at the five-meter mark. 101 coiled up her body and built as much power as she could in the short moment before impact. At the moment she was face to face with the creature that toward over the massive knights, she let go. Her body rapidly twisted and the super sledge swung at speeds that would rival a bullet.

The Might super sledge made a thundering boom across the battlefield. Everyone turned in surprise at the headless troll. They were even more surprised at the second explosion that created a cannon-sized hole at the troll's chest. The beast fell to its knee and fell forward, revealing 101 with her hammer in hands. The Orcs and goblins were surprised that their beast died so easily. When the Goblins broke so did the orcs and they all ran.

101 stood tall and proud. "Well, that's how the cookie crumbles." Her soldiers looked at each other, a bit embarrassed at their leader's one-liner. 101 removed her helmet to revealed her offended face. "Well, if that's how it then gives chase. Either get prisoners or finish them off." 101 ordered.

The knight gave chase as the paladins stayed behind. these veteran warriors duty was to protect their charge. Their massive bulks guarding the awed villagers hiding behind them. They all came out of hiding to meet the warrior with blazing wings of fire. They all cheered at their savior and 101 raised her sledge as it lit up with lighting. They didn't see it but 101 was smiling cheek to cheek in utter joy. This was completely awesome for her. Even with her body bruised and with a broken rib or two she loved an old fashion melee fight.

Unknown to her but this was the birth of the legend of the astral hammer warrior.


[Back in with 6 with the rabbling]

The courier was falling sleeping at this soap opera. He was struggling with keeping his head from drooping but had the momentary drop of his head. The courier wondering if he could have a tv feature installed into his cowl but then was brought back by a tugging at his shoulder. He saw the sergeant motion him to get up.

When he did he asked his sergeant how it went. His answer was surprising. "Smile was able to work out a deal and we are going to be heading towards their capital"

The courier was speechless. He was ready to gun his way out with lasers and grenades, not talk to the Japanese in their own capital. In their home turf. "What's the dig?"

"The Japanese want us to justify the use of our arm's and to demonstrate them." the sergeant explained.

The courier felt a bit miffed. These people wanted to know why they didn't act like a saint in a radioactive wasteland. Hell, he'll give the explanation with a single finger. This was a massive inconvenient that it was going to bug him the entire time. He even started to feel his spine-tingling again. That did reminding him to meet with his personal doctor in the truck. He wanted to give him some result or whatnot. It didn't matter, he just wanted to get this over with and move one.

"Fine let's go and bend ourselves over for these guys. Avoiding a war is important but just barely." The courier received a pat on the back from the Sergeant and they both moved on to sleep the night off.

It was at this moment the shortest and bloodiest war the Japanese would fight since WW2 was set in motion.
