The four arrived at the Hanger to find it closed shut dude to multiple heavy I beams having been dropped.
They saw everyone there with the exception of Yoshika, Mio and Perrine.
"Yoshika's Fighting that thing alone." Lynn said with a huge since of urgency in her voice.
Gertrud ran up to the I-beams and tried to move them. Steve noticed they had been welded from the inside out so she was trying to pick up on piece of metal, way beyond her limit. Steve walked up to Gertrud and pulled her back.
"STAY BACK GIRLS, ITS GONNA GET A LITTLE HOT!" He commanded
Steve's arms started to glow a hot red-orange, he placed his hands on the metal, he started to melt the I beams, not fast enough for him though.
"Come on you mother-f*cker!" He shouted as the I-beams suddenly exploded.
Sending out a wave of smoke and hot air. The girls looked to see a massive hole in the I-beams, and the rest of them still glowing orange, though Steve had disappeared.
"I'll catch up to you girls later. A little bit of justice has to be served." He said into the transponder.
"Good luck?" Minna questioned.
Steve flew up to out side the window of the command room. He grinned an evil smilie.
"Its time to die, Maloney you asshole."
Maloney was panicking. The Warlock had stopped receiving commands and had gone haywire.
"Its all that stupid girls fault."
"Sir, I have three new contacts on radar!" an officer said.
"Warship!" A solider said looking out the window.
"What?" Trevor ran to the window and grabbed the binocluers.
About two miles out he saw the USS Ranger, HMS Royal Oak and the Pride of the Royal Navy HMS Hood, all three steaming for them.
He saw two of the four Hoods BL 15 inch Mark I naval guns fire.
"INCOMEING!" He shouted.
You could hear the shell's coming toward them. A series of four explosion ripped through room. As the smoke cleared he saw something that made his hair stand on ended. He saw Stephanie Clark hovering in front of the hole with at lest five other Royal Navy Witches he could not immediately identify. Each of the girls was armed with machine guns, The biggest being a .50 Cal., The smallest being a BAR's .30-06 Springfield held by Stephanie, and boy did she look pissed.
"Trevor you son of a bitch!"
"Calm your self Lieutenant." A clam Red haired Britannia Witch said.
"It's Lieutenant Colonel, now. And this bustard killed my brother." Stephanie growled.
"Air Chief Marshal Trevor Maloney! You are under arrest for the murder of Liberion Navy Pilot and are to be put on trial and executed."
Trevor paled.
"You can't do this to him-" an officer started to say only to have his head shot off by Stephanie.
"Did you say something?" Stephanie questioned
The body didn't respond.
"No, good….ANYBODY ELSE WANNA TRY ME?" Stephanie continued.
"Court is now in session!" A blond haired witch stated.
The short witch armed with the .50 Cal. flew up to Trevor's face and pointed it at him.
"Air Chief Marshal Trevor Maloney, did you or did you not forge the orders to have the 501st Joint Fighter wing, The Strike Witches, to be disbanded only because you wanted to move forward with your secret project: Warlock?" She questioned
"I did-"
"Did you or did you not execute a Liberion navy pilot under the impression he was a wizard, witch to this moment can never be proved otherwise?" She continued.
"I did-"
"Did you or did you not order to Marines to just dump the body into the ocean with out showing the slightest sign of respect for a fallen solider?"
"He did!" A voice said from behind them. A ghost like image of Steve flew up and hovered next to his sister. Trevor had a new sense of panic on his face.
"Evidence has been presented, awaiting juries conviction." The small witch said as she flew back over to her squad.
"Guilty." A brown haired witch said.
"Guilty." The red haired witch responded.
"Guilty." A dark skinned witch stated.
"Air Chief Marshal Trevor Maloney, the jury has found you guilty and are to be executed via firing squad!" The Blond witch said.
"Wait a minuet don't I get any defense?" Trevor cried out.
"NO YOU DON'T!" Steve's ghost shouted, He landed on the ground sending out a mini-shock wave.
"You didn't even give me a trial to defend my self so why should you get the same?"
Stephanie signaled the Royal Witches to go as things were about to get bloody.
"Let me tell you something though!" Steve growled
"I don't know how you found out, but you were right in a way, I am was wizard. Though my power was not active it was passive. I had the ability to calm people down just by standing next to them."
"Steve." Stephanie said.
"Steph." he repsoned as they embraced.
"Mother is not going to be happy." Stephanie sighed.
"She didn't want ether of her babies going off to war, but we thought the needs of the world were more than our needs to take care of our mom." Steve smiled as he looked into her eyes. He then backed away as a red and black swirling flame engulfed his body.
"How ever, no more! I got a new power from the devil himself!" Steve growled.
Steve changed his body to become his full-grown dragon form, thought now he looked more demonic. He made his eyes grow blood red.
"IT'S A DRAGON! SOMEONE SHOT IT!" Trevor shouted.
"ARE YOU NUTS?!" A terrifed solider exclaimed.
"WE TRY TAKEING THAT THING ON WE"LL BE ROASTED ALIVE!"
"COWARDS!" An Officer shouted as he shot at the dragon. The bullets just bounced off.
"I now become death!" The dragon spoke into everyone's mind. He looked at the now terrified officer and blew fire at him lighting him on fire. The officer screamed in pain. He flailed around like headless chicken and then ran out the opening falling to his death.
"What are you going to do to me?" Trevor asked as he stumbled backwards.
"First, I'm gonna break your legs, then I'm gonna rip them off and set you on fire. Second I'm gonna watch you drag your bloody stumps out, then I'm gonna break your arms and tear off your legs and arms…And just when you think it can't get any worst, I'm gonna fly you like a flag, then I'm gonna rip your balls and dick off. Finally and only when your beggin' for death will I rip out your spin and use it as a toothpick."
"Eh!" was all Trevor got out before the dragon grabbed his right leg.
He felt his leg bones get shattered in the giants' hand. He was suddenly thrown to the ground and light on fire. He was then lifted up and felt his arms get bent backward at the elbow and broken. He then felt a stabbing pain in his back as he was hung on a flagpole. Amongst his screaming he heard a taunting voice.
"My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing." He saw the dragon slighter up next to him and be hind him singing in a very disturbing taunting voice.
"Land where my fathers died!" He felt his left arm get ripped off.
"Land of the Pilgrim's pride!" He felt his right arm get ripped off.
"From every mountain side, Let vengeance sing!" He saw the dragon looking him in the eyes.
He then felt the part that made him a made be ripped off. He cried in pain and started to beg for death. The dragon seem to chuckle and a few minuets later complied with he request and ripped the humans spin from his body. The head freely waved in the air. Any of Trevor's subordinates if they had not left already were puking up their guts never before had they seen such carnage. Most of them would never be the same. Very few would even be considered sane enough to live outside a metal ward.
The dragon with its vengeance complete let out a terrifying roar which was heard for miles
On board the USS RANGER
Ike, Patton, Montgomery, Churchill, Adolfine Galland, and Erwin Rommel where standing on board the ships observatory.
"Wow. That was some roar." Adolfine said rubbing her ears.
"Did we do the tight thing though?" Churchill said.
"I believe we did. If a Karlsland officer and done something similar he would been shot." Erwin stated with pride.
"No fair trial?" Ike asked
"Of course there is, they are trialed and then shot!" Erwin responded grinning.
"Remind me never to commit mutiny against you." Ike shivered.
"What made this so complex was the fact a Britannia Office of the Army Air Corps killed a Liberion Naval Pilot, with out good reason." Montgomery sighed spitting his tea.
"We need to be more careful in our screening process for military personal." Patton said puffing on his cigar.
"Come friends, we should continue our plans to free Africa." Ike said leading everyone in to the map room.
With Steve and the Girls
Steve, having gotten his striker back from Shadow, flew up to the girls just in time to see the Akagi fly up into the Sky because it had become Neuroi.
"Mio, What did I miss?"
"Was that you, who just roared?" Mio asked looking at him with the intent of killing him.
"Yea. I'll explain everything later." He responded weakly
"Oh Steve I have something for you." Minna chimed in flying in next to him.
"Ok Minna, you can give it to me later." Steve smiled at her.
"Mio scan the Akagi." Steve commanded
Mio looked at the Akagi. What she saw made her panic.
"Steve, there's two cores. One is in the engine room. The other is near the weapons supply room. It looks like if we want to bring this thing down. We'll need to destroy both almost simultaneously."
Steve took a look for himself.
"Not quiet Mio, The one near the Weapons Supply has yet to take root. Though we should take that out before it has a chance to take root."
"We'll take the one in the Weapon's Supply Room." Yoshika said as Perrine and Lynn formed up behind her.
"No, Yoshika. Your too young and if your not careful you'll take out the ship and yourself. I'll take care of that one. You three focus on the Engine Room Core. Erica, Gertrud!" Steve said looking at the two aces.
"Make a hole for us." Steve smiled.
"You got it Steve." They said as they flew into attack.
A few seconds latter a hole was made in the side of the ship and the four flew into the Neuroi.
With Steve
Steve approached the weapons room. Even though the ship would be destroyed once the core was destroyed, the fact that it had two disturbed him. Luckily this core was not in the wisest of places, the weapons room. A well-placed grenade or bullet would incinerate the ship and hopefully not him along with it. He had already had faced death once this week he didn't want to do it again. He quickly got to work in arming as many of the torpedos and bombs as he could.
With Yoshika, Lynn, and Perrine
The girls had just broken through the last door. In front of them was the core. It was bigger than the three of them put together. And they were out of bullets. Yoshika had come up with an idea though. She told Lynn and Perrine to hold her, so she could launch her Striker like a couple of torpedoes at the core. She launched her strike on a collision course with the core. On impact the core exploded rocking the ship, creating a giant hole in floor for the girls to leave. As they left they saw the ship was no longer looking like a Neruoi and was falling toward the sea. It landed with a large splash and surprisingly was still afloat.
"Steve? Where are you? Give me and up date. STEVE." Minna spoke into the radio.
Back with Steve
When Steve came too he found his back was in pain. A piece of the ceiling had fallen on him affectively trapping him on the floor.
He could hear Minna hailing him on his radio but his speaker had been damaged, but he tried anyway to let her know of the situation.
"Minna, I'm trapped. Get everyone away from the ship. I'm gonna blow it up. I'm sorry, I should have told you this sooner but; I love you…Good bye." He sighed
Steve reached for his pistol near his right hand. He grabbed it and took aim at a live 500 lbs bomb. He closed is eyes and pulled the trigger.
With the Witches
The Akagi was remaining afloat.
"STEVE PLEASE RESPOND! WHAT IS GOING ON?" Minna spoke into the radio.
Sanya's Radio antenna glowed. She was picking up a transmission and she tried to clean it up as best she could but she could only get some of it out.
"Minna….Get everyone … ship…bl….… sorry, …..…. have told you t…. sooner ….I…..…go…. bye."
"What did he say?" Mio asked.
Before anyone could respond the Akagi exploded with thunderous bang. The ships heel had broken and she went down splitting in half.
Everyone was shocked. They saw the explosion and Steve apparently had made contact. They hoped he would come flying out of the water, but after five minuets, their hopes sank with the former pride of the Fuso Navy.
A few days later they were all commemorated for their efforts in freeing Gallia, stopping a mad man and destroying a hive, but they were officially disbanded afterwards. Even Ike was at their ceremony. Though it was reported and published Lieutenant Commander Stephanie Clark was MIA. Some reporter had accidently written KIA and soon it was public knowledge that it was unknown if she was MIA or KIA
While some of the 501st believe Steve was alive and would return when he felt he was needed. Most assumed he was dead. Those that believed he was still alive were; Lynne, Yoshika, Sanya, and Shirley. Shadow also believed he was still alive and took his things and put them in a special realm and went in looking for him. Minna hoped he was still alive, but was doubtful. Though she prayed he was still lived, because she still had something that belonged to him: His grandpa's dog tags.
