The year is 1945, the place is a a hillside next to a small stream.I am watching a scene of madness, a British and German plane being openly friendly, and a demon for the hell itself in the sky, hissing and screaming. And now, teen girls who fly aircraft on there legs...
This is not the war i remember.
Jenna M Johnson wasn't happy, first the allied command sends half of her squadron mate to the pacific,and then with there unit down to only four witches there orderd to lead a recon flight into Neurio held Karlsland. as expected the Neurio didn't like anyone snooping around and attacked, taking out the Spitfire in the first few seconds of the fight, the Karlsland BF 109 pulled into a dive over the forest trying to loss the beast before breacking off and heading for home.
"allright everyone,we can do this" Hanna-Dieter Weihs, the squadron's Karlslander said in to her mic.
"Says the one with a jet striker" Jenna yelled back at her.
"when you get six shotdowns in this baby, you can gladly fly one too"
She was right,Jenna had never goton the hang of the newer Jet striker's, she opted to keep her F4 Hellcat's strikers instead.
"Settle down you two, focus on the task at hand" Lauren "Laura" Stark interupted, the Britanian witch often had to keep her counterparts on task or they would bicker. She was the oldest of the Witches at 18 and still wore her Hawker Typhoon striker, Its age showed sometimes but it made up for it extra gun mount's one, allowing a witch to carry six machine guns.
The bottom of the Neurio opened to reveal a swarm drones that desended on the witches.
"Let us send these beasts back to hell,Charge!" the squadron commander Jamie Churchill, yelled pulling her sword from her back. She was known for shunning firearms in combat and carrying a enchanted bow and sword, she once stating "any officer who goes into battle without a sword is impropely dressed".
Stark fired away at the swarm and Churchill began cutting drones down with her sword.
"Johnson,Weihs, you focus on the big one"!Churchill yelled pointing her sword at the large main Neurio before cutting a drone in half with a single swipe.
Both looked at each other before heading in gunsblazing.

I am almost in a trace watching these girls fight off this demon when man had falied. I'm snaped out of my daze as three of the smaller ones fly towards me, i raise the MG42 i have carried with me since we were pushed back at Normandy and fire a burst at the things, it catches all three and they implode into shards.
"not much diffrent from killing a man" i say looking at the remains.
Before i can react, the large one (Around the size of a JU52) zooms over the tree tops followed by two of the angels, only angels could defeat such demons alone.
One moved above the beast and fires a stream of bullets at it, it lets of a scream that chills my heart and fires a blast at the girl who raises a barrier of sorts that the beam cannot seem to get second one with larger devices on her legs is using a larger weapon that blows a large hole in the things shell, exposing a lighter inside.
They both fired into its wound sending it into a blind rage, firing all around it.
One shot catches an angel off guard, and she raises her barrier to late and the blast skims her legs sending her tumbling from the sky into the stream to my left a few hundred years away. As she hits the water and lets off a scream, i rush to her aid.
...W...
One minute i'm firing at the Neurio, the next i'm falling like a ragdoll to my death below. i let off a scream and the world slows down, i can see the look on Hanna's face of utter shock and the water getting closer and closer.
I hit the water hard. my body is alive with pain and i'm too winded to move, raising my shield so qwickly drained me .
As i sink own to the depths, thinking of the irony of an air infantry witch drownding, a strong arm pulls me up and out of the water, next thing i know someone is pushing down on my chest and i feel soft lips cover my own.
...W...
I pull the women out of the water, her breathing is slow and shallow, i begin conpressing her chest, trying to get her heart back on track and begin giving mouth to mouth, her eyes shot open and she throws a solid punch my way, hitting me in the jaw and knocking me to the ground.
...W...
"Don't you touch me you pervert, i'm not just some-" i say realizing i would have been dead if this man had not saved me, and realize he was just giving CPR and mouth to mouth.
"Oh, i'm sorry, i thought-"
"Not know, we have to find a safe place to get away from these things" the man says, he wears the uniform of Karslands army with a camo pattern on it along with a woodland cap, he is carrying an MG42 with two belts of rounds draped across his shoulders and has a Panzerfaust.
He points to a small shack down the hill from us, just across a dirt road, with no other option i follow him.
...W...
Lauren was plowing her way though the Neurio, all here guns blazing when Hanna's voice yelled into her mic.
"Jenna is down"!
"what? How?"
"her Strikers got hit, she felling the river bellow-wait i can see her, she's with some soldier crossing the road down there" The Karlslander spit out.
Below her she could see Jenna and a soldier running towards a small shack, and then she saw the Turtle (Neurio tank) lumbering towards them.
...W...
Jenna saw the Turtle and knew they were finished, she couldn't raise her shield, they were done for. But the young man rushes the Tank firing his gun the entire way, she didn't no if it was suprised or thought it was funny because the thing did nothing to stop him.
As he neared it he droped his gun and slide under its body, he grabed something from a sachel on his belt and slaped it to the bottom of the Neurio before rolling out from under it and jumping into a ditch next to the road,
Within seconds, the Neurio exploded and turned to a rain of shards.
The soldier got up, dusted himself off and picked up his gun before walking up to her and sticking out a hand.
"Kurtis Yeager, 1st Sapper Company, 12th army division of Germany"
What the hell is Germany" she said .
Before they could speak further, both were plucked up from the ground by Hanna and Lauren.
"AHH" the Sapper screamed in suprise"
"Thanks for saving Jenna soldier, but what are you doing in Karlsland, the Neurio control this place"? Hanna asked.
"What? This is Germany. and what the hell are the Neurio, those demons"?
"What are you talking about, your in the former nation of Karlsland, in 1940 the Neurio sweped across Europe and pushed humanity out,leaving Britanina to stand alone as the only part of Europe with humans"
My mind was racing, this advance seemed to mirror my nations own blitzkrieg across Europe, but the bigger thing on my mind was wear in the hell was i? this was not the Europe i lived in.
...W...
"What the hell"! captain Jacobs screamed, the German was gone, right as he pulled the trigger, he vanished along with his weapons.
"Captain what the fuck was that" one of his men yelled pointing at were the German once sat, the spot now devoid of grass and the man.
"it's some kind of...i don't know, trick. Some Kraut secret weapon or SS occult thing" the man said recalling every story he had heard, even the ones from bars he had drank in, hell maybe some drunk did have the answer.
Before they could keep going,a voice rang out.
"Attention, American soldiers, this is Major Kurt Shetler of the German army, we have your unit surrouned, place down your arms at once, you will be treated fairly, just make this easy, no one must die"
All around the unit, German soldiers marched from the forest, along with a half track with a speaker on the top.
"As you can see, this can end badly, once again drop your weapons" the officer in the half track said.
No one said a word...until a blinding light engulfed the clearing around the bridge, using this distraction, the captain raised his Thompson submachine gun and fired at the half track, catching the officer in the chest with a hail of lead.
"Open fire"! someone shouted, and the clearing turned into a bloodbath, Germans and U.S soldiers falling in combat alike.
As the gunfire ceased, only the captain remained, five Germans with the rifles trained on him, he looked behind him to see and orb of light floating in air.
"Here goes nothing" he yelled jumping into it and vanished.
The Germans didn't have much time to be suprised by this as when the looked down there was a hand grenade lieing at there feet.
"Maybe its a-"one started to say before it exploded, killing the remaining soldiers.
The clearing near the small bridge was quite once more, quite with the silence the dead have earned.
