Yo guys I'M BACK!
Well I had almost managed to complete this by Saturday...Almost...but I got hooked up playing RON, Massive Assault and 0 AD and...it got delayed.
Anyway, so after a lot of PM'S and after asking a lot of people, well mostly the ones who posted a reviews from their accounts.

Why?
Because as a wise man...or rather maswin1 said: Would you really stop at deal?
One other thing people...do you think this can increase from a two shot to a full story?
Well the revenge ending starts after the sinking of HMS Zaimokuza.
So without any delay...
Enjoy the Revenge of the God-of-War.
[Valencia]
Hikigaya Hachiman looked around from top of the Turret and listened to the music playing in the distance as they moved forward through the streets. There were four trucks full of troops and five armoured car and two more tanks in the convoy flowing him.
They had secured the eastern area of the city and were now headed towards the palace which was the last thing that was still standing.
The streets were mostly deserted mostly because of the warning given to the people before hand but still several civilian corpses and dozens of soldier's corpse were littered of the street. Some too mutilated and crushed beyond recognition, no doubt the result of the Blitz.
As they crossed a bridge he saluted to a group of Special Forces and shock troopers that had erected a temporary road block and had erected heavy machine guns posts.
80 percent of the city was now under their control.
The advance and speed of their forces was really unbelievable but that was the true power of the Gespensterdivision.
The Haven Kingdom had men trained to fight men, not steel juggernauts which spit fire and death and hammered their comrades into the ground add General Rommel to the Fray and they didn't even have time to even say their prayers.
The rest of the fleet and the secondary force that had struck from the sea and led by Comrade Colonel Roran had secured the harbour and the East section of the City and his men were now reinforcing the chokepoints that had been secured by the Special Forces beforehand.
The cruiser had made short work of the ships and the port defences and now their Battleship and Carrier had entered the Harbour.
And now as the last notes of the song floated in the air, they reached the Palace.
The palace served both as a castle and a mansion complete with Minarets and towers that gave an oriental feeling and was built according to the Moorish architecture that was designed to ride out any siege, however that wouldn't help as it was surrounded by a mixture of tanks and infantry who were ready to move in...well the Infantry at least, the Gate was too narrow for the Tanks so they couldn't get inside without blowing up a part of the wall.
One thing he noticed was that there was no firing. One thing that one would expect in a siege and all the Infantry-men was taking cover behind the Tanks.
Reaching near the Gate Hikigaya jumped off the tank and headed towards a group of officers taking cover behind a Tank. Half of them were in the Grey uniform of the Volksgrenadiers and the other in the Tan uniform of the Red guards.
The men stood up and saluted him.
"What's the current situation?" he asked.
"We've managed to surround the palace Sir." A man in a tan uniform said.
"But their Yeomen are making it difficult for the troops to move in." Another man in grey uniform finished.
"Have we tried to negotiate?" Hikigaya asked to which the men shook their heads.
"Commander, I found this on one of their commander's corpse." One of the men said while producing a sword from behind him. Hikigaya Immediately recognized the symbol on the pommel.
"That's Hayama's Sabre!" He exclaimed surprised.
"Was he a friend of yours Commander?" The man asked cautiously.
"Hell no, How did he die?" Hikigaya simply unsheathed the sword and look at it closely.
"He was the one who lead the Knight's charge against my Blitzkrieg."
"Brave...But stupid." The other man commented.
"We shot his horse but he charged straight on foot and jumped on the Tank."
"And he fell off and got crushed under the Tank?" Hikigaya asked hopefully.
"Nein, he climbed straight into my Cannon." the man replied with a straight face.
"No need to imagine the end result." He then climbed the Tank and picked up the Voice amplifier attached on the Tank's top.
"Yukinoshita Yukino, Your forces have been defeated. Surrender now or suffer the consequences." Then he held the sword up for everyone to see.
"Your commanders are dead and your men are vanquished. We do not want additional bloodshed so surrender now."
"You have 30 Seconds to reply...30...29...28."
When he had counted till 23 a head poked out from the Battlements and even from the distance he could recognize the raven black hair of Yukinoshita.
"Ara...ara...What do we have here?" "Have your men gotten Lost? How dare you invade my Motherland?" [Honestly, I just couldn't think up a good dialog for her here, so I put Queen Elizabeth Taunt 4 from Age of Empires 3]
"Cut the crap out, We giving you a chance to surrender. Open your doors and throw down your Arms."
"Umm, Sir I could make us a door if you want." The Tank officer in the Grey uniform joked.
"Quiet you." Hikigaya replied rather non-threateningly, partially because he himself about to give the order to blow up the gates. After a moment of silence, he spoke again.
"You cut your throat yet?"
When there was no reply and no movement the troops peeked out from behind the tanks. There was absolute silence and beside the noise of the Tanks and the occasional gunfire from the city there was no noise.
He watched as a few men left the cover of the Tank and moved towards the Gate, 2 of them were Special Forces and the rest were a mixed bunch of Infantry. They reached the Gate and tried to physically open the gate by pushing it. When that failed, the Special Forces started to plant a charge on the gate, when a War cry rang out from the other side.
Then suddenly the gate swung open with sudden force which pushed back the men in front of it. Then with sudden agility a man in Praetorian armour dashed out and stabbed the special force operative setting the charge. Following him were a lot of Royal Praetorians and Royal Sculari who fell on the men near the gate. [1]
Then a shower of arrows came from the Top of the walls as the Yeomen discharged their arrows.
Caught completely by surprise the men near the gate were the first to fall. They scarcely could get their hand on their guns before they where overpowered and killed. The shower of Arrows mostly bounced off the Tanks but claimed some who were exposed.
"Come on, Fight you mongrels for we shall never surrender" Came the taunting voice of Yukinoshita from the top of the Walls but Hikigaya didn't hear her taunt.
As their men charged forward he unclipped his pistol and unsheathed the sabre in his hand.
"Bayonets!" He yelled and jumped off the Tank and charged right at the leader of the Praetorians who had just stabbed his fourth man.
Almost a dozen men charged forward with him right at the attackers who were engaging their comrades while the tanks pointed their cannons at the walls and fired several rounds of HE shells and their machine guns trying to keep the Yeomen from killing them.
Although they had the advantage in firepower, they were quite vulnerable in close and when they were out of ammo and that was the reason they had thrown their guns down and were fighting with their Knives and Bayonets...
Well trying to keep themselves alive would be the better word.
Hikigaya was stabbing one Sculari with the sabre when from the corner of his eye he saw a Praetorian about to bring down his sword. Before he could dodge, the Praetorian's helmet rang with a resounding Clank and the Praetorian collapsed on the ground with a bloody hammer lying alongside him.
Looking in the direction he saw Roran fighting off three Royal Scularis with a sword that he had managed to "obtain" from one of the Praetorians. He was fighting with a Hammer but seeing the Praetorian about to kill Hikigaya he had thrown his hammer at the man killing him.
Seeing a chance, Hikigaya raised his Luger and took aim, he shot 2 of the men surrounding Roran and the last one was killed by Roran before he could aim again.
"We're even." Hikigaya said while tossing his hammer back at Roran and shooting another Sculari.
By this time, while taking a few casualties they had managed to defeat nearly all of the men and the survivors had managed to get back inside the Gate and closed it.
A few managed to break through the lines but were instantly shot by few men standing back near the tanks.
Looking around he saw that at least a dozen of his men had fallen due to the sudden attack.
"Sir, this one appears to be an Officer." A soldier yelled and he turned to find few men holding the man who led the charge in a chokehold.
"Look out!" Another yelled before another hail of Arrows were released from the top of the walls. They barely had time to drag their wounded and the officer when the arrows fell injuring a few men and hitting the captured officer.
Dragging themselves back behind the cover of the Tanks, the men opened fire at the Yeomen claiming a few. Hikigaya headed towards the officer who had been hit in last volley of arrows.
A medic was looking at his wound and as the medic forcibly took his helmet off Hikigaya recognized his only Friend, Saika Totsuka. The only person who didn't betray him, in-fact it was due to Totsuka that he had managed to escape the dungeon when he was imprisoned by Yukinoshita.
"Don't worry Saika you're going to be alright?" He asked moving closer to him, Tosuka slowly lifts his head and as he meets Hikigaya's gaze he smiles a bit.
"Hachiman?" He asks weakly "I'm...sorry."
"Don't waste energy on speaking; you're going to be alright." Tears weld up in Tosuka's eyes as he spoke again.
"I sorry...I could'nt stop..." Totsukas splutter as a trickle of blood flows out from his mouth.
"What?" Hikigaya asks confused, but Totsuka coughs out a mouthful of blood before replying.
"They... took...h-e...her."
"Who are you talking about?" Shaking his head Hikigaya asked.
"They've imprisoned your sister...I tried to stop them...but I fa..failed...I'm sorry." At this Hikigaya's face changes and a mixture of terror and anger flash across his face.
"Where is she now?" He asked Totsuka in a controlled voice but Totsuka only shakes his head and then muttering a final sorry throws his head back and lay still. The medic who had pulled out the arrow and was checking the wound checked his pulse and then shook his head.
"He's gone Sir." Hikigaya looks at him for a few seconds before he slowly extended his hands and closed Totsuka's eyes which held a faraway look.
He got up and looked around for his Radio operator and sighting him yelled.
"Call in the Air-Force." The Radio man followed his order immediately and after a minute replied.
"They're asking how many?" Hikigaya looked at the Palace and then at Saika's body before he replied.
"All of them."
The men who had managed to actually escape from the initial ambush were getting their wounds healed by the healers.
Then it came.
The first and the only thing that they heard was the wail, a demonic sounding wail that drowned any other noise there. They looked up and were shocked to see 7 strange birds like mechanisms flying in the sky. There were of two types.
4 were like a Hawk, it was longer and had wheels underneath it, it had a strange symbol on its wings which looked like a cross. The other 3 were much smaller than the other, like a sparrow it was small and nimble. Unlike the other, it had a red star painted on its wings. [2]
As they stared in awe as four of their number dived down like hawk and closed in on them. A few of the men started to run away at the sight but most of them stood rooted to their spots too scared to move.
As they watched the strange mechanisms pulled up from their dive and dropped several small egg, like things at the gates and well as where they were standing, a few men tried to move forward before the bombs fell.
They didn't even to time to register what was happening before the bombs exploded in a flash of light and flames destroying the Gate and annihilating the wounded and remaining men.
Those that were lucky and managed to survive picked themselves up from the pile of rubble and dust that rose up from where the bombs landed. They looked around in horror and saw that nothing remained of the Royal Praetorians and the Royal Sculari's that were there.
What remained was just dead, dead and death.
It was then that they saw a man in a Trench-coat, armed with a Sabre and strange apparatus walking through the now destroyed Gate. He was followed by another man armed with the same apparatus and a hammer in his belt and behind them, at least two dozen men in strange uniforms who carried strange staffs and wore strange helmets.
But in-spite of their difference in their colours there was one that stood apart.
It was wearing black...no he was covered with Black from head to toe and along with that he was wearing strange helmet which was as strange looking as the strange staff he carried. [3]
Driven by Instinct, the remaining men unsheathed their blades and while yelling war cries charged at the approaching men. The man in the Trench-coat held up a hand and the men stopped. Confident that they were scared, the men ran even faster now almost reaching them.
Only the strange creature kept moving forward and held his staff out and on reaching him one of them men prepared to strike at him when it happened.
As the man was about to strike, Fire suddenly erupted for the staff that the man carried.
The Inferno engulfed the man who immediately dropped his sword and tried to cover his face while moving away from the flames. He was unsuccessful as his clothes caught fire.
The men behind him stopped and watched in horror as the man...or what was left of him which was a just a charred remain now staggered towards them. They watched as the man's feet turned to dust as the remains of the men staggered towards them. Then with a final step it tripped and fell shattering into smouldering waste. Then the creature turned the staff towards them and then the Inferno hit them. A few tried to run back but were immediately shot dead by the rest of the creature's friends.
Now the courtyard was completely cleared, excluding the bodies and rubble of course.
As the last of the Praetorians and Sculari was put down or rather given a baptism by fire or lead, the man in the Trench-coat started moved forward.
"TAKE NO PRISONERS COMRADES!" He yelled and charged straight towards the main-entrance.
If they had been ordered to secure the Palace in any other way the men would have to clear the whole goddamn palace, room by room and rounding up anyone that would be found, but as they were given clear orders on the prisoners they managed to get it done quicker.
Most of the rooms had been barricaded from the inside and held at least a few soldiers and civilians, as a result the men took a rather kinetic approach.
The Volksgrenadiers shot the locks of the doors first and then chucked a grenade inside each room and moved in and killed anyone left alive after the explosion. The Red Guards followed a similar manoeuvre. The only difference, they used Molotov's instead of grenades and gave the enemy a baptism by fire.
Anyone who was unlucky enough to be found was either gunned down or roasted alive by the Flamethrowers.
Roran sprinted through the hallways with a bunch of his men. The whole palace was now filled with the familiar clatter of the Stg44's and the Kalashnikov's and several places were on fire as well no doubt the result of the flamethrowers and the Molotov's.
His orders were to capture the top bass of the Haven Kingdom and currently he was looking everywhere for them when he ran into three maids.
Any other soldier would have shot them on sight but Roran did not. His men surrounded and grabbed hold of them.
"Where is your Queen?" He asked to which the maid who looked the oldest spat on him.
"We shall not tell you, no matter what you say or do to us." She said with fury in her eyes.
Roran wiped off the spit, and then pulled out his hammer and then replied angrily.
"Do you want me to hit you with this." Then looking at the third one who appeared to be the youngest of them, "I reckon that I could knock half your teeth out with one strike."
The brandishing the hammer he spoke again, "I wonder how you will find a husband if you only have half your teeth left eh?" Seeing the fear in her eyes he pressed the attack.
"Dmitri" He said to the man holding her, "Hold her properly, I want to test my Hammer." The woman screamed as the man held her head roughly, then as Roran was raising the hammer she broke down.
"She's in her chambers." She sobbed and collapsed on the ground as the man dropped her and so did the other 2 maids.
"Get out of here and find a good place to hide, the men will kill anyone they see as a threat." He issued a warning as the maids got up and ran to the other end of the corridor.
"Don't tell anyone that th..." Roran was about to say something before he spotted Hikigaya heading towards them.
He was carrying something wrapped in his trench coat in his arms and a shadow covered his face.
"Sir, we've located her. She's in her chambers." Roran said but Hikigaya didn't respond he only kept moving towards him and stopped right in front of him.
"Take her to a safe place." He said softly and passed the trench-coat covered object to Roran. Roran held his arms and received the weight which he recognized from the weight that it was a body.
"Who's this?" He asked as Hikigaya started walking away.
"My little sister." Hikigaya replied in the same tone.
He kicked open the door and strode inside while his men stood guard outside.
He stopped as he opened the inner chamber door and caught sight of Yukinoshita. She wore no armour but a plain white dress which accented her figure. She was waiting for him in bed.
"You owe me something" he said.
He silently walked towards her before he caught a movement from the corner of his eye.
He jumped sideways and a second later a claymore planted itself in the place where he was standing, and holding the Claymore with both hands was Yuigahama wearing a knight's armour.
"I'll kill you Hikigaya, nobody hurts Yukino." She yelled and lifted her claymore up in the air. For a small person she was quite powerful but none of her agility sparked a reaction in Hikigaya.
As she lifted it up and charged forward he simply lifted his Luger and as she closed in, he pulled the trigger.
Blood, Brain matter, bone and muscle blew out from the back of her head splattering the wall and floor behind her, the claymore dropped from her now lifeless hands and fell back along with her body that had collapsed backwards.
He looked at Yukinoshita again who still appeared defiantly and had gotten up from the bed.
"It seems I lost...know that I keep my promises." She said while slipping off the top of her dress completely exposing her bosom, then she started to seductively walked towards him. [4]
Nobody would have been able to resist that level of seduction but Hikigaya wasn't normal and he smelled a rat.
Scarcely had she reached him when she suddenly produced a dagger from somewhere and lunged at Hikigaya with the dagger.
Hikigaya didn't even move, he simply pulling the trigger of his Luger and emptied the rest of his magazine.
The dagger plunged into his shoulder while Yukinoshita collided with his chest. She had been hit three times in the stomach and twice in the chest, she coughed blood and lifted her head and looked him in the eyes.
"I'm s...so-rry H-hachi...man." She manage to get out before she collapsed again on his chest, this time...
...Dead.
Queen Yukinoshita Yukino Defeated.
The Haven Kingdom Has Fallen.
The Haven Kingdom is now a client state of the Northern Alliance.
[Play Age of Empires 2 or Rise of Nations victory tune]
[A/N- Honestly, I was thinking about putting a long...extremely LONG conversation between 8MAN and Yukinoshita where she confesses to him and like a movie, dies just before he replies or she gets medical attention...
But...you actually can't live that long if you have like 5 bullets in your system.
If anyone disagrees with me, Please PROVE me wrong and when you're doing it, record and sent it to me...I'll change this part after that]
[A FEW HOURS LATER]
Hikigaya sat in the Royal study-turned-communication room talking to someone over the radio while a medic was patching up the wound on his shoulder.
"Da Comrade, We've gained control over Valancia, the Haven Kingdom's our client state now."
["Has the Queen signed the treaty comrade?"]
"Unfortunately Sir, she's dead."
["What?! Weren't you supposed to take precautions so that something of this kind never happens? What are we supposed to tell the Senate?"]
"If I may Sir, I have found another way."
["You better hope that it's good or your ass is grass."]
"We found the Queen's elder sister, Haruno Yukinoshita imprisoned in the dungeons." There was no reply so he continued.
"Well Sir you remember that I had helped Yukino overthrow her family, well her sister was supposed to inherit the throne, so basically we can put her up as the "our" legitimate heir and lessen our troubles with any rebels or Militia or Parisian forces while keeping control over Haven Kingdom."
After a minute a reply came.
["I believe the Senate should buy this, good Job and your new orders will come soon. The reinforcements led by Field Marshal Kutúzov will both reinforce you and will take over the office of overseer for the Haven Kingdom."]
["Winter Place, over and out."]
"Haven, over and out." He replied and put the receiver away.
"All done sir." the Medic said cutting off the extra bandage, "Don't do any heavy work and try not to punch anyone and the wound will heal in a week."
Hikigaya thanked the man and then getting up, moved out of the room.
The Place was now under heavy guard and was now full of troops. Most of the supplies and heavy hardware was moved to the palace and was placed under heavy guard. The city itself was put under curfew and would remain so till the final pockets of the remaining guards and soldiers of the Haven Kingdom would be either captured or eliminated.
After acknowledging the guard outside he entered the Throne room that had been turned into a HQ and looking around found the two men that he was looking for immediately sitting at a table. They both were talking with each other but saluted at his appearance, Hikigaya would have saluted back if not for the wounded hand.
"How many total casualties did we have?" Hikigaya asks sitting down.
"We have a lot of injured from some confrontations while clearing out the city and we lost a Tiger in the market, don't ask how." Then he pulls a bottle and three glasses out of a small briefcase lying nearby.
"You look like a dead man, here have a drink." Rommel said rather tiredly while pouring out 2 glass of Gin and Tonic and handed them to Hikigaya and Roran.
"The only ones we lost were the ones that were caught by surprise when we stormed the Palace. We lost 8 Volkgrenadiers and 9 Red guards and 3 Special Forces in that ambush."
"And even after that we still don't have full reign over the city." Hikigaya says while shaking his head and taking a small sip from his glass.
"How is the condition of the elder Yukinoshita? We found her almost like a skeleton" He asks as he puts the glass on the table.
"Medic says that it was just a case of starvation, can you imagine that?"
"Hell yeah, I can easily Imagine Yukinoshita torturing her sister to the brink of starvation only to bring her back and then starting again. What did he prescribe?"
"Regular good meals and a rest and she'll be fine." He gives a tried chuckle.
"That's good to hear, she's going to be the person we're appointing the Governor here."
"Sir we could have captured Queen Yukino and have her sign the treaty on gunpoint but due to your...doing she ended up dead." Rommel said.
"We I ask why you killed her?" Roran asks with a blank face.
"Self-defense." Hikigaya replied without any emotions.
He breaks off and then shakes his head and then looks in their direction. Surprisingly they were giving off strange looks.
"Nothing along the lines of 'Wasn't my fault' or telling your tragic whole story of why you actually helped her?" Roran asked in disbelief.
"I must say, I'm quite surprised at this." Rommel commented as well.
"What were you expecting?" Hikigaya asks annoyed, "That I'll become all sentimental after killing someone?" [5]
"Speaking of which have all the bodies been taken care of?" Hikigaya asks to which Rommel gives a brief nod.
Then a knock on the door alerts them and they reach for their firearms. As the door opens a soldier enters in carrying a dossier and Hikigaya recognizes him as the officer In-charge of the Communication Division.
"Sir New Orders have come from the Senate sir." He says and after hands him the dossier.
"Call all the officers." Hikigaya says and the men rushes out.
"Get me a map." He says and finding a chair sits down.
As Roran laid out the map another knock is heard and the door open and a dozen officers come inside, they move towards the table. They were a mixed bunch of Infantry, Armoured, Artillery, Naval and Air force officers who were in the Palace at that time for logistic planning.
Hikigaya looks up and inspects each of them while wishing he was anywhere but here. Then he speaks his words carefully.
"Comrades we've successfully defeated the Haven Kingdom due to the efforts of you and your men and for that The Alliance Thanks and commend you."
"Now the Alliance calls for your service again." He stops and lifts the map and fixes it on the wall with the help of two Knives.
"The Senate received a diplomatic party from Sheba which is governed by Queen Hiratsuka Shizuka who requests the assistance of the Northern Alliance in saving her country."
"A few hours ago after they received the reports of the successful capture and defeat of the Haven Kingdom, the Senate approved sending one of the Alliance's armies for their assistance and as the Senate hates me the most..." Hikigaya didn't finish his sentence but broke off, earning a few laughs and hearty chuckles from the men.
"We'll move swiftly and assist them in their fight...which most probably will involve heavy fighting, from our side, of course and after helping them, well help them gain control over all the other Nations and help them gain control over the whole island."
"Excuse me Sir?" Rommel interrupted suddenly, "Island?"
"Yes, you heard me correctly, We're going to capture an Island.", Then picking up an knife from the table, with the fluidity of a expert knife fighter throws it at the map.
The knife lands on the map piercing an Island.
"Pack your swimsuits comrades." He spins back and locks eyes with his men.
"We're going to Ceylon"
Bloody hell...I actually can't believe I managed to finish that.
I was working on this thing since...last week.
Well yeah now its OFFICALLY a fucking Clusterfuck cocktail.
...with a bit of Inheritance cycle AND messed up RON civilizations thrown in.
So how was this Revenge ending?
...actually you wouldn't believe that the original plan was to get 8man, Roran and Rommel get drunk and then 8man tells his painful back-story and then throws the throne out of the Window.
Honestly I preferred the Deal...Why?
As Asuko said to me-
"A SILENT AND DEVIOUS 'FUCK YOU' IS MUCH MORE SWEETER THAN AN ALL OUT GUNS BLAZING 'FUCK YOU'"
And yeah I could have put a whole lot of things...but as I figured out.
8man's not the one who gets all sentimental after killing someone.
Notes-
1- Royal Praetorian: Gunpowder age. Unique Roman Heavy Infantry.
Royal Sculari: Medieval age. Unique Spanish Heavy Infantry.
2- A Stuka and a Fighter-Bomber. If you're wondering why only 7, that because that's the maximum number of planes that can be on a Carrier...in Rise of Nations of course.
3- I think most of you have already recognized what it is...It's a FLAMETHROWER!
4- Honestly I wrote and rewrote just this paragraph the most and when I say this, I really mean it...I went total bonkers writing that line.
5- A very bad reference to the conversation in the GTA 4 mission "Uncle Vlad" where after killing Vlad, Niko (protagonist) tells his back story to Roman and tells him why he actually came to Liberty City... to which Roman replies, "Do you always get sentimental after killing people?"
Hey I'm not comparing them; both of them are in a league of their own.
So people do you think this can be a full story?
I was really happy seeing the number of reviews so I really hope you're willing to leave a review no matter what you want to say this time also.
Well I've said everything that I have...
Well the rest is in the Credits that I posted as chapter 3.
Predator7 logging out.
Cheers mate and thanks for reading.
