Review SHOUT-OUT:
T98Kombat: Thanks for the review man and I'll consider all the wonderful things you said for now I'm just sticking with the original novel, still if your wondering how Zorzal and the Pro-War got the jumped on the PAEF I'll give you a clue: SHAPESHIFTERS!
Random Reader: Considering Duterte's attitude and impulsiveness I'll give it a 38% chance of happening but still thanks for the review...
heavenschoir, Sigma-del-Prisium: Yes that idea suddenly pops in my mind while I'm typing...
SnitchPogi12, Juan Matteo: Yeah I'm terribly sorry for that mistake I been far away from the news I been making mistakes here and there still I'll fix them when I have that chance... Also I wanted the PAEF win not because of their superior weaponry instead I wanted the Empire to change and for the PAEF to be the light that guides the Unknown Region not the fire that burns the Empire... All in all thank you for the review.

The news spread like wild fire in the Philippines. A mysterious gate in the center of Araneta Cubao appeared, videos recorded by the cctvs near the said gate indicate that the primitive soldiers came out from and killed 200 Filipino with 90 more missing presumably kidnapped by the said warmongers... Question filled the internet... questions we all what answers from...
"Why did these warmongers attacked the Philippines so preemptively?"
"They came so violently and viciously plus their weapons are so primitive, who exactly are they?"
"Dragons exists! Who knows maybe more fantasy creatures do too?"
"Should we destroy the gate to prevent another disaster?"
"What if we destroy the gate but another appear elsewhere?"
"Are you sure these guys aren't terrorist I mean guns are more difficult to buy in Philippines than in America?"
"Does this gate leads to another world or another time?"
I'm sure thousands of thousands questions similar to those race to the minds of many people... I myself pretty much intrigued on such topic pretty much more I experienced battling and killing such beings... My father said that killing a person will forever imprint a memory in your mind a everlasting reminder on the burden of killing another... The feeling of sin, the knowledge you killed a human... God said one should never kill another it is clearly stated at one of his commands... Looking at my hands I feel nothing... Even so at the moment I first killed those medieval soldiers and the moment I joined the police and volunteered gunmen in raining bullets at them... The guilt, the shame and the dark sickening sensation did not came... Instead I feel empty. Why do I feel so empty? Aside from the fear from being killed and the fear of others dying... I feel nothing else...
Very empty... So numb...
My eyes return to the screen of our television, this time the reporters showed recorded videos of how valiantly the Filipino policemen fought the incoming enemies... Soldiers from the near by camps came in army jeeps and shot a hail of gunfire to those unknown assailants and how swat teams in helicopters shot down the wyvern riders and who all are powerless against the firepower of our modern weapons...
And lastly it shown our stand in the mall where we defended the building against the marching soldiers...
The news soon shifted from the battle to the government palace an emergency meeting is made on how to deal on such incident... An incident that shook the Philippines on its core... I swallowed hard what ever the government had planned to do with who ever in the other side of the gate will forever what the Philippine history for ever.
The Philippine had been invaded and colonised by the Spaniards long ago bringing pain and oppression to our ancestors but given us the knowledge and religion of Christianity it also shape many of our ways of life till now, then the Spanish sold us to the Americans like we are some sort of merchandise for 2 million dollars and we make war with them... Luckily despite how powerful the Americans are they are kind enough to give is our independence and so the Philippines returned to the Filipinos with America being one of our firsts allied country... Then the Imperialist Japan happened and made war with America, we the Filipinos being one of the nearest county in Japan are attacked and defeated but in the end America had enough and dropped an atomic bomb to Japan it was the biggest middle finger and damaged to Japan land yet... And that peace in the Philippines returned but once again shaken with the terrorist in Mindanao, the southern part of the Philippines...
But even the terrorist would not attempt and even consider to attack us with weapons so primitive...
My train of though was stopped as my concentration drifted from the past to the present... Our current president is had a reputation for saying bad words in live television and now with many people dead with some taken by the mysterious being our head of the country had now spoke so many curses that I have the sudden urge to change the channel...
Then he spoke something that will change the course of our lives forever...
"These motherf ckering savages attacked our peaceful nations with no mercy it would be fair if we do the same but we are not savages nor we are b*tches who will bend over and let their way with us. So in 1 months from now we will launch an expedition force who find these f ckers who brought sh*t in to our beloved Philippines and bring them to justice!"
The whole congress erupted into an uproar many agreeing with our president some saying how savage and immoral his plan is but all knowing that a show of force inevitable...
The American president then stand up grabbing the microphone beside him and spoke:
"We had helped Philippines back then when the Imperialist reign of the Japanese attacked and now when the Maute Group attacked Marawi, this time they will face an unknown enemy in an unknown land the Philippines will need all the support it will get so I will support the Philippine army by giving them the means to bring the one's responsible to justice."
The next day the Philippine government made a bold statement to the public that the military recruitment had been set to Luzon with them now taking in and training more people by the day... All for the reason attack who or what ever is in the other side of the Gate...
Remembering what transpired on the Manila Medieval Massacre and the possibility of it happening again fear raced on my mind I can not let that happen again nor can I sit idle and wait for our brave soldiers to win... The feeling of saving the innocent just remembering the faces of all the civilians we saved filled my once empty heart with joy... Dad said to me that soldiers fight so other don't need to, they kill so innocents will never face the horrors of war, that I'm a soldier like him I just haven't realized it yet... Father he is so good to me, to us, to everyone... I look at the news again seeing all the recruitment for the coming expedition force: "The Philippine military had increased its recruitment by 30 percent to compensate on the soldiers they gonna send through the gate... Maybe what Dad is right about me, but to know I must do something important... Taking my phone I dialed my mom's number I'm sure she is busy in America with her job but now she must know the truth... The truth that she feared the truth that I been keeping to myself all this time and most of all the truth that I should be doing what I truly am... I bet she wilk be sad at knowing my decision, she might even cry but I made up my mind, I am a soldier like my father before me...

Dad's training to me is child's play compared to what I been through... My father once said that being in the military is no easy job and he wasn't kidding we face many lectures and regiments just to ready us to what's lies beyond that gate. Our superiors are hard, strict and tough on us fresh recruits but I know they just want to make us tougher... I saw many like me full of energy and enthusiasm people slowly quit the military I can't blame them it is war... Both in the camp and in the battlefield...
September 17, 20XX
The day we the Philippine-America Expedition Force finally go through the gate and to the other side... I was one of the lucky ones of the hundreds of soldiers in the military to be picked, to be the first 100 to enter the gate. I heard rumors that it was my actions during the Manila Medieval Massacre that made our superiors choose me to participate in the PAEF, another is that it's because of my dad's reputation that helped me but what ever reason I feel honored to be here with my fellow Filipinos to fight the enemy who ever them be... I could feel my heart pounding, my breathing quicken and my grip to my assault rifle tighten...
"POSER!" I heard a booming voice of one of the Americans...
I looked at the man who called me he is a black American who is much taller than me his large muscles show how strong he is and a deep scar in his left jaw reminding us how war was like to him...
"Poser if your going to shake something shake your girlfriend or get the f ck out of the force we have no use for cannon fodder!"
He stand in front of me creating a shadow that shaded me completely... There I stood upright looking him directly in the eye.
"You get me POSER?! War is war!"
He was about to speak another word when another American soldier came he slowly put his hand to the black American making all his anger diminish...
"Easy Mad Gun his a fresh recruit and the files said he helped the civilians along with the police force on the Manila Massacre." My eyes drift from the imposing black American to another who seem to be albino.
"Well well well poser you think your some kind of hero are you?"
My head shake involuntary hoping not to anger him...
"Good we are all soldiers here but you Phils can't even protect yourselves so it goes to us America to clean up your f cking mess once again!"
"You who are you soldier?!"
"I'm Thomas E. Matapat sir!"
"Shout louder poser! From now on I'm your captain the names Kevin Powers my code name is Mad Gun and yours posers is Phil"
"Phils?" I ask him
"Yeah Phils short for Philippines so get your gear poser we gonna go to war."
"Sir yes sir!" In unison we shouted, our voice cracked as we start to march...
As we walk in Manila to enter the Gate many of many of my memories flash to me and it was all about the Manila Massacre... There as we reach Araneta I saw a group of people calling us savages, showing their signs that we should close the gate and that war isn't the answer...
I heard Mad Gun laugh at the mass of activist, most of them are shouting insults at us and telling us to close the gate. One of them had the guts to throw their garbage at us...
"Those fools doesn't even realize we're helping their sorry butts I bet none of them are here when those primates attacked."
I looked away from the crowd as much as I dislike slaughter in my mind this is the best option we have for now even if we had to crack some heads to maintain peace... But knowing all what happened before we are about to crack more than some heads... Yet if we let this gate opened and did not bring down who ever responsible to justice it surely will happen again...
Finally entering the Gate all he see is darkness our transportation headlights turn on illuminating the dark tunnel...
We pass through the gate and into what's beyond and I must say its a sight to behold... We seem to be in a hills of some sort surrounded by mountains with the grass oh so majestic surely a proof of virgin untouched land... I took a deep breath at the air... It is untainted and fresh something I longed for.
I saw Mad Gun grab his binoculars and search the area he looked to the left and with a smile he said
"Left area secure no boggies found."
Then his sight landed on the right his smile quickly diminished with a growl... It's not a good sigh...
"Holy mother freaking Joseph they are expecting us!" Upon hearing him I looked at the distant valley just exactly where he is looking.
There I saw a massive number of soldiers very like the ones I fought in Manila... Without a second to spare our superiors begun barking orders to us...
"Bring the mortar cannons tilt it 95 degrees make sure the enemy is in firing range!"
"Double time double time!"
"First Battalion position in front when the boogies enter your range of fire rain bullets at them!"
"Sir yes sir!"
I positioned myself in front, my rifle aimed at the enemy I just like my comrades here had shot hundreds of bullets before we made it here but now that we face a real enemy, doubt filled our heads while fear gripped our hearts...
"Enemy at 2000 yards!"
Our mortar cannons got loaded with explosives design to destroy buildings and cause havoc in enemy ranks...
"Fire at 1500 yards! I repeat fire at 1500!"
Our enemies march towards us at a slow pace they seem to be oblivious to our weapons... Taking my scope I saw many of them chatting was indescribable and as I saw their sickening smiles in their faces I have a gut feeling I don't want to know...
"Enemy at 1000! Fire mortars!"
And so it did the explosives are launched through the air hitting the ground where our enemies are standing at I could see their faces that where smiling with a demon like glee got replaced with an unreadable fear...
I saw one of them in horses blow a horn, sound causes the troops to cluster their shield are placed facing us while the ones behind placed theirs on top of their comrades making a turtle like formation similar to Greek culture... Unfortunately that outdated strategy only works against arrows not mortars... While the clustering of troops only made our targets easier to kill as the shrapnel in the mortars made quick work of the incoming troops...
I saw many troops fall back with a lot more running towards us they seem to understand now that their shields are useless in protecting them from our weapons... Like a swarm of ants the valley is filled with countless medieval troops heading towards us...
"First Battalion unleash hell!"
Our guns rained hail of gunfire cutting the wave after wave of gunfire... I was some of the soldiers of the enemy trip and fall because of of their fallen comrades it slowed their advance exponentially...
"Reloading!"
"Mortal loaded."
"Boogies at 80!"
Magazine by magazine our bullets dropped the thousands of enemies now laying to the now blood shaded grass... We gonna need a tractor and a large hole...
2,000 enemies dead... My gaze never left the large hole dug by our excavators these people, that attacked us, that foolishly charged at us and these people we shot dead, who are they I ask... What kind of leader sends them to their grave? What kind of soldier rush into heavy gunfire and most of all what kind of army uses swords, spears and horses to battle... Taking a deep breath I walked away from the site our base is still ongoing construction and we want to bring who ever responsible for such acts we gonna need to fortify ourselves... My question will have to wait...
Battle at Alnus Hill
Date: September 20, 20XX
Location: Alnus Hill
"Boogies spotted 2 kilometers from here sir! Our drones spotted them sir they seem to be over 100,000."
Looking at the screen we saw our enemies and they sure brought a lot more this time... Their armors seems to differ from each group surely they came from different group or lands but the PAEF is sure on what their aim is and that our defeat...
My eyes close as we here the information in our radio since the first day we got here we have been murdering our foes left and right... Reaching for my gun, feeling the cold steel of the rifle I ask myself if our soul will be the same... Cold, unfeeling, numb... We have killed so many yet... They still kept coming...
"Hey Phil!" I feel a hand landed softly in my shoulder, it's from our captain Mad Gun
"I saw you handle the gun partner and that's some fine shooting and that skill isn't talent alone it takes years of training."
I did not let a word out of my mouth my gut feeling tells me to let him speak...
"Sorry about scaring you at first I needed to make sure our soldiers here is as tough as ol Texas leather so tell me Phil are you ready to shoot some terrorists?"
"Sir... I don't think these people are terrorist..."
"They kill, they look idiotic and they seem to cause terror, they're terrorist to me, or this might be the result of being in Iraq for too dang long you know what just be ready to shot and oh just to tell ya Phil... The tanks are here!"
The moment he spoke of the tanks my fellow soldiers shout and cheer but for me it means another... We gonna need a bigger hole...
Date: September 30, 20XX
Our enemy is at over 100,000 soldiers these with that number of soldiers they can invade any country, fear struck my chest at the idea that many warmongers pass through the gate and massacre more of my countrymen... When we first entered the Gate we were only a hundred now we are utmost 300 soldiers volunteers from rookies to veterans, from America and from our own country we stand as one... We all know we can't face a force that magnitude even if their weapons are primitive and we will run out of bullets but lucky for us we had tanks given, donated and sold to us by America...
When American government said that they will aid us they really mean it and now we have five Type 75 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer with a main gun of 1 X 155mm L30 howtizer with a machine gun of 1 X 12.7mm M-2HB every cavalry who dares enters our blast zone are torn to smithereens and for added fire power we got a 3 outdated Special Terrain Type 74. It's main gun of 105mm had lay waste incoming waves of enemy forces... Mad Gun said to me that these heavy duty tanks where created during the cold war and been collecting dust ever since then but now they are in the PAEF arsenals and are finally used with their full potential.
Looking above I saw hundreds of wyvern riders fly pass the blast zone and speeding towards us... They are faster than our helicopters. Looking closer they are only armed with a lance so it would be wise to keep our distance from them...
All of our seven M2HB Browning aimed upward and fired a blast of lead. With the firing rate of 485-635 rounds for minute the hundreds of riders came crashing down to the already bloodied grass in a sickening manner...
This isn't war... its a one sided battle... its almost a slaughter... Again I close my eyes remembering the activists before we enter the Gate, thinking if what they said is right... War is wrong... Maybe... Maybe not...
Who know? Maybe..maybe if we win this war...maybe if we brought those responsible to justice and maybe if we go home back to our lives and we see the joy and harmony to the land we risked our lives for... Maybe then can I find the answer... For now I am a PAEF soldier doing what is right...
*Later*
Nighttime came and the sound of war before still rung into my ears... The sight of seeing our enemies fall before us was almost saddening but I'm sure it's tragic to them... So many deaths yet so few days... From the first time I killed I felt nothing now with so many deaths surrounding us... The looming feeling crawls to my soul, the doubt that all this time maybe we are the villains of the story... Taking my nightvision binoculars searched the lands on top of the tower I'm positioned on for the 5 fifth time to distract my deep saddening thought... All I see are piles of dead bodies littered the field there are still too many to bury while reminding me of the horrors of war, a job for tomorrow it seems...
And there it was in my 8th search of the night I saw what was Mad Gun predicted: A night ambush... There almost 40,000 of our enemies marched slowly with an intent to attack us though the darkness of the night passing through the blast zone... They proved themselves to be at least competent...
With a heavy breath I inhaled a heavy portion of air into my lungs and a second later I let the air out... Grabbing my radio I signaled the others for the incoming force.
"This is Phil I have spotted the enemy they are at 500 yards away and slowly closing in I repeat 500 yards away."
"Roger that that Phil this is armored tank division cannons are hot and ready to fire be advised to clear out for bombardment I repeat clear out for bombardment."
My eyes closed by their own as if they know that more lives are about to be wasted by our hands...by our will...
5 minutes of had pass from our brutal attack that night... I was almost sure that many have died that moon and many more smart enough or lucky enough to flee... There where 40,000 foes now there are barely any left standing... The field is once again filled with nothing but lifeless corpes...
Taking out my nightvision I saw a moving person, stained by with blood both by his own and his comrades... His armor thick and shining with gold desigh making a clear statement that he is a person who have a high status... With a heavy shot of rage and despair he grabbed a discarded bow and arrow. Pulling the arrows to the sturdy string he aimed the arrow to us... I know with that distance it will not hit any of us here its just to dang far away... It did not stop the him with another shot he fired the lone arrow to our direction... The arrow and his hope fell down into the blood stained ground while his body did fall next...
Such determination, such conviction... With haste I grabbed my radio all while running towards the nearest army jeep we have...
"This is Phil hold your fire I'm off to get an enemy survivor I repeat hold your fire."
Looking at the distant fields all I do now is hope and pray...for that person to be alive...
It was pure luck for them to let me retrieve the guy with 3 of my comrades to assist me, I can only assume that they need at least one enemy to interrogate and if my hunch is correct this guy could be our first step in diplomacy and if not, well all I can hope now is that he will have a lot of time to think about his mistakes and false beliefs in our prison camps back in Manila... Like the 5,000 more we captured...
Stopping at the site of explosions we exited the vehicle the smell of burned flesh entered our noses its was sickening.
Strengthening our resolve we covered our noses with any available cloth we can grab and sprinting to the injured man... I placed my finger to the unconscious man's neck checking for a pulse... There are, turning him over I saw a few shrapnel stuck to his armor with a lot more piercing it thoroughly and puncturing his chest...
Remembering our training we lifted the wounded soldier to the army jeep causing the blood to rush and stain our vehicle...
I saw a PAEF medic carefully remove his armor to assess his condition.
"Multiple metal shrapnel had pierced his chest with the possibility of lung puncture... Surgery is a must."
The ride was quick thanks to our modern vehicle... The moment we reach the camp I saw a group of medic storm the soldier and placed him to the tent all while carrying him with a stretcher...
I'm not sure why I wanted to save that man... Maybe its just a desire to save at least one soul... It could be the duty to preserve a life for the save of life itself... Or maybe its just an act to help myself sleep at night so I can assure I'm not a monster, the same monster that we have been fighting... What ever reason, I know I did my part now all I can do is hope for the best and for the doctors to do theirs...
Date: October 1, 20XX
Our camp had been officially named Alnus. I have no idea why our superiors picked the name but I find the name oddly disturbing and dirty...
Anyhow a brand new day had lay upon us PAEF, another day in the unknown world we are here, first we battled medieval foes, killed wyverns and now we saved a royalty... Looking back to the distant lands I can only guess what new tale we will have... Today we receive a new gadget that will help us in our quest. The Americans who made it calls is translators; a pair of earphones connected to a device that translates the unknown world's inhabitants's language and translate it to English and it translate our language to their language through a speaker in the small compact device... Many of the captured medieval soldiers in the Manila Massacre spoke of an odd language, luckily its very convenient for todays technology to search such words and cross reference it with other in little time... Unsurprisingly the language fits Greek-Roman latin accordingly...
Each soldier have been given a translator... Looking at mine I bright light of hope filled me knowing we are a step closer to peace...or at least what I assume...
Drones flew to the skies to scout and the lands once again we can have to be vigilant and careful as our enemies outnumber us 10,000 to 1 and even if we have such powerful weapons like tanks and firearms that massive numbers of foes can be a threat if they got close...
It was just noon when we are called to the fields. Our scout drones had picked up 5 women who seems to have ears and fur in some parts of their bodies that of a rabbit... Its clear to us that they are humanoids here in the unknown region... Videos shown to us are certain that they are looting the corpses of our enemies possibly stealing anything valuable from the dead...
Many thoughts filled our heads: Could they be spies? Maybe they are civilians just looking for some easy money? Thieves who found jackpot in the file of lifeless men?
I not sure but what thing is certain and that's our mission is clear: Politely invite them to our camp for questioning and if they refuse and resist, use nonlethal rubber bullet rounds for capture... It was a simple one at paper but something tells me these women are more than meets the eye... I just hope they come with us peacefully I really hate to hurt anyone specially women...
Mad Gun lead our task at hand he seems to emphasize that we should be civil in talking to them..
"Ok men we are not sure if these ladies are enemy spies or what not so switch to rubber bullets in your pistols and if they are terrorists use the lethal ones in your rifles but be advice be civil."
Mad Gun then signaled a army jeep to pick us up.
"No one one dares force themselves in any of them you POSERS! understand we are the good guys! We are not terrorist!"
"Sir yes sir!"
Again I rode in the jeep to but now I'm not saving an injured enemy I'm going to question the would-be enemy... About to meet someone or something anonymous if frightening even more if they are humanoids that are beautiful... As the saying goes the more beautiful the rose the sharper the thorns...
In a few minutes we reached the place the bunnies jumped back in speed greater than any normal man.
"My queen its the army from the other worlds!" A bunny lady whose red are as green as moss said
My eyes centered to a bunny they seem to be protecting. Putting my translator's speaker to full blast I stepped forward to them...
"Hello we are the PAEF we would like if you came with us to our camps if you please."
My words unfortunately had a different effect on them... The moment I speak my words the humanoid growls as they are threatening us.
"My queen! They are setting us in a trap don't let their lies deceive you!"
"I'm sure the moment we enter their camps hundreds of savage man will hold us to the ground and force themselves to us!"
"I bet their no different than the Empire!"
My stomach shook as they let out such disgusting assumptions... If they are trying to make us vomit to submission they seem to work...
"Hey you rabbits better get your minds out of the gutter! We PAEF are against such acts and so let you know I have a hot loving wife at home so no freaking way I'm passing that!" I saw Mad Gun stand forward shouting directly at the women...
"I'm a Christian catholic and no way I'm going to hell because of that!"
"You girls are beautiful and all but your worse that the Feminazi back at home!"
Its just been a few moments and the tension is already great. With slow steps walked closer to the bunny women I my pistol in my gun holster as a clear indication that I mean no harm...
"Ma'am please we are asking you to come with us in our base you have our word we mean you no harm."
A silver haired bunny humanoid stepped forward I saw her put a dagger in her right hand...
"The Empire said those exact words to me and my sisters when we lost the war." Her voice cracked as fresh tears fall to her eyes...
My eyes aimed at her blade then to her tears... With her left hand she wiped the tears away before looking at me with rage... Seeing her my body involuntarily stepped back as my comrades aimed their pistols at them...
"That warmongering Prince said he will spare my kind if we surrender, that he will let my subjects who survive free if we gave up and if I accepted defeat then the war will end, I foolishly believed him after all we alread lost, wave after wave of countless imperial soldiers came to us, despite out efforts we lost then Zorzal, that demon offered peace to us... AND I AGREED!"
"YOU KNOW HE DID NEXT HE VIOLATED OUR DEAL BEFORE HE THEN VIOLATED MY SUBJECTS AND ORDERED ALL OF US RESISTED HIM SLAUGHTERED!"
"I was with my own eyes as Zorzal opened my sister's legs and violated her in front of my eyes as I watched helplessly!"
"Never again!"
The silver haired warrior bunny jumped towards me with incredible speed... All my eyes saw was a blur, a sliver blur before I am tackled to the ground... There I saw with fear she put both hands in her blade and use all her strength to stab me in my chest.
"Ahhhh!" I screamed as the impact was no different to a battering ram hitting wall... These warrior bunnies are truly fearsome beings...
Looking at the dagger I saw the blade haven't even penetrated me an inch all thanks to my bullet proof kevlar vest... She too is suprised at the durability this cloth like material posses...
Thinking quickly and ignoring the pain I grabbed her arm using a technique I learn in combat training I used my other arm to push her to the side then with a fast pull and quick leverage I managed to switch our position...
With all my strength I push her to the ground subduing her as she hopelessly struggle in my grip...
Looking at the remaining warrior bunnies I saw my team fire a barrage of bullets causing great pain they even with their speed is no match against bullets at can fly faster than the eye can see...
They warrior bunnies jump back making distance from us. In a surprising show of coordination the warriors bunnies grabbed shields from the dead soldiers left in the ground and rush towards us... Knowing that rubber bullets are useless against metal shield Mad Gun grabbed a flash grenade in his holster and threw it to the warrior bunnies...
Within seconds the grenade set off creating a blinding flash of light and a deafening blast of sound...
The warrior bunnies fell to the ground all covering their ears or eyes in pain... Incapacitated my team rushed to the warrior bunnies binding their arms and legs with metal cuffs...
"No! No! Not again not again!" The silver haired warrior bunny cried as I bind her limbs with cuffs...
Seeing her cry bring a sting of despair in me... I watch her struggle in trying to break free from the bonds only for her body to stop from exhaustion...
"Man this feels wrong..." My comrade looked at the crying women...
"I know its their fault for attacking us but...dang I feel awful..."
"Its their fault if they didn't go Amazon on us we would even give them lover like treatment yet it still feels bad..."
Mad Gun simply looked away with sadness like all of us he is sure that these poor woman suffered so much to behave at such a state as if the people in this world is no different than the savages who attacked Manila who knows what horrifying experiences the natives in this world has gone though.
I saw a PAEF soldier grabbed a warrior bunny by the shoulder gently checking her injuries...
"No please! I'm still a virgin no don't..." The red haired warrior bunny cried as despair and fear shake her voice.
The said PAEF soldier just opened a tube of medical ointment and slowly spread it to the blister that the rubber bullets made...
"Don't worry this medicine will heal you just stay still..."
I saw the silver haired warrior bunny eyes widen as she see our kindness... They can only stare at our actions I saw another bunny struggle only for Mad Gun yell at her to stand still before putting on a thick layer of bandage in her head which is injured during the skirmish...
"We did said that we mean you no harm and we always honor our words."
"You posses such power yet you show kindness to your foe... What? Who are you?
"We are the PAEF and we are here to bring the justice to our enemies..."
"Your enemy is the Empire all of this, all of the soldiers you killed and all the tragedies the Empire is responsible."
"Sorry for hurting you Ma'am..."
"No we never expected such an invincible army to be this virtuous nor righteous its our impulses that started this... Please don't hurt my warriors its they are all I have left. I would happily do anything you want just for them to be safe..."
"How about you offer me something instead?" I reach for her wrist unlocking her cuffs freeing her from the metal that binds her.
"If this Empire is our enemy and the enemy of my enemy is my friend so help us and guide us in this land be our guide and we will help you..."
"You could have simply violated me here and there yet you showed compassion to us, we the warrior bunnies pledge our allegiance to you the pe-ai-ee-ep."
"Finally you ladies get it can we please go to our camp so we can have a decent chat and most of all we need to get you girl some new pairs of clothes your's are a bit skimpy..." I point at her battle attire
"What do you mean? We wear this to honor our ancestors also it distracts our enemies so they will look in our skin not in the blade we hold."
"Honor?! Well your honor is showing!"
"I'm sorry if our battle wear makes you uncomfortable but if it will make you happy we will change it..."
"Also wear some panties woman!." Looking away my palm finds themselves at the top of my forehead giving the warrior bunnies a clear statement... I wish she knows how frustrated I am right now...
"Pan-what?"
"This day keeps on getting weirder and weirder... Fine the moment we reach Alnus base you ladies better wear some panties we will give you! " My gaze went to the far horizon beyond looking at the fields my thoughts are all about this new land it's been a few days and we done so much... What ever is waiting for us beyond the PAEF is ready and will be willing to bring justice to all...
"By the way my name is Tyuule Queen of what's left of warrior bunnies and you are great knight?" Looking back at her my eyes aimed at her ears then looking at her eyes...
"My name is Thomas E. Matapat a Filipino member of the PAEF."
