Nagisa was on the lead cruiser heading towards the West coast of North America. He sighed as he knew the war against the Bertrand Republic would be a long and costly one as they had several Allies in the mainland. But Nagisa and the allied army also had allies in the forms of resistance cells in all of North America.
"General Shiota." Said Bertrand as he and Isogai joined Nagisa.
"Ah, what is it?" He asked the two other universe visitors.
"We will be arriving at the Mainland shortly. You can rest, man." Bertrand said to him.
"I'll rest when the Bertrand Republic is defeated." Nagisa said despite rubbing one of his eyes. Bertrand placed a hand on his shoulder.
"General… you of all people have been pushing yourself too hard. We don't want you to have a heart attack." Isogai said to Nagisa.
"No, I won't get one. I just need to help the people of the US get free from the Bertrand Republic and that bastard… um sorry."
"It's ok man, I know what you meant." Bertrand said.
Nagisa sighed and walked off.
"I'm worried about him, John. He's pushing himself." Isogai said to his comrade.
"I know, we may need to bring our own Nagisa to talk to him."
Isogai nodded his head and called for their Nagisa.
Back in America, civilians protested the Bertrand Republic's brutality and called for an end of the conquests, but they were brutally suppressed. President Bertrand sighed as he was forced to make sure all those protests were put down.
"Don't worry Mr. President, this is all for the greater good of your republic." Reaper 01 said to him. President Bertrand growled but sighed as he felt powerless to do anything against him.
Back with the fleet, Nagisa sat down on the ship as he looked up at the stars. Then he heard something behind him. Pulling out his gun, he saw the other universe version of himself. Shiota walked up to him and sat next to him.
"I'm a little surprised that you didn't pull the trigger General." Shiota said while looking at that universe's version of himself
"If someone pulls the trigger just from being startled, they need to go back to training." Nagisa replied as he put his pistol back in the holster.
"True, true. Heard you've been pushing yourself. John and Yuma called me for help. Well... my John and Yuma called me for help."
"Considering the fact that this is a third World War, I think it's reasonable for me to not be so eager to take a nap."
"They're not trying to make you take a nap. Look, I've been in your shoes. wanting to not rest until the goal is completed. I'll tell you this, it's not healthy."
"I'm the general. It's my job to lead my unit into battle, and I'm entrusted with fighting this war. Yet recently, I've been sidelined repeatedly so that others can do my job for me. I have a responsibility, and I'm going to fulfill it."
"General. No one's asking you to stop being a general. Sometimes it's best to hang back and let others take charge. Let me use Union General John F. Reynolds as an example. He too led his men into battle. He had the Iron Brigade with him. He led them at the Battle of Gettysburg's first day. Look what happened to him."
"He died from falling off his horse. But here's a question for you. What does that have to do with hanging back and letting others take charge? He didn't die because he didn't let others take charge. He died because he was in a warzone."
"My point is this. you are their leader. they will follow your lead. if you die or are injured. their morale drops significantly."
"Maybe. But I'm still the leader. It's my job to lead. What you're suggesting is that I let someone else lead. But then what's the point in me being the leader?"
"No, no. I'm suggesting that you take it slow. you have the army of Japan and help from another Dimension. The Hunter Classroom, my group, will make sure any beachheads are secured while you come up with a plan to help us take the Continental US and liberate North America."
Nagisa studied his other self before sighing.
"Fine. We'll do that. But don't think for a moment that you can make me just sit on the bleachers."
Shiota Chuckled and patted Nagisa's back before saying, "The thought never crossed my mind." Shiota then pulled out a flask of whiskey and offered Nagisa some of it. Nagisa simply took the entire flask and downed it all, shocking Shiota.
"Jesus... you looked like you needed that." Shiota said as Nagisa wiped his lips
Shiota then took the flask back and put it back where it belonged. Meanwhile, in the East coast, President Bertrand sat in his office looking at all the numbers of what his army was doing to what were once his allies as Reaper 01 looked over his shoulder
Azure — Today at 6:16 PM
"Enjoying the view, Mr President?"
President Bertrand looked at Reaper 01 with disgust.
"Oh please. You and your leader forced me to deal with this. I was a peaceful man before you came here."
President Bertrand was then pinned to the wall by Reaper 01 who looked at him with evil in his eyes
"I suggest you take the good with the bad, Mr President. Once we're through, you'd be the figurehead of the mightiest empire this world has ever seen. And you're still alive, so that's a plus. Life is too full of circumstance to only want the good ending after all."
"You forget... Japan. You failed to get your puppet to gain control of it. and with what I heard they recently liberated Hawaii, so it's only a matter of time before they come here and Stop you."
President Bertrand then got his throat squeezed by Reaper 01 who was now mad at his defiance.
"Oh please. Japan is certainly a threat now, but we know who's working in it. We know how to take them out, what to aim at. Japan is a short term annoyance, but a long term memory."
"Do you forget... I heard what your leader said. Sounds to me you've been handed defeats by other universal travelers." Said President Bertrand before Reaper 01 threw him across the room.
"coughs and from what I heard too, you get punish for not following his orders. He told you to keep me alive, but you almost killed me."
"You think I'm that easy?" Reaper 01 smirked as he walked over to the president and crouched down in front of him. "What doesn't kill us just makes us stronger. And we are very much alive. And I'm not some amateur. Killing is easy, but a person like me can do whatever he wants, and not kill. Besides, you're not dying. You're just a baby."
"Coming from a heartless man who follows your boss's orders like a weak little Lackey."
"Ooh. That's your first real attempt at actually standing against us. Your country must be proud."
President Bertrand stood up and soon got stabbed in his shoulder by Reaper 01.
"FUCK!" he then groaned at the pain he was feeling
"But while sticks and stones may try to break our bones, your words will never mean anything." Reaper 01 said before pulling his knife out. He looked him over. "I suppose Takebayashi can patch you up. No anesthetic though, so you'll have to bear with it."
President Bertrand groaned as Reaper 01 opened a portal and his Kotaro Takebayashi, Reaper 14, came through it
"Takebayashi, can you be a dear and fix up our, host?"
President Bertrand saw Reaper 14 nod his head with an evil smile before working on him, Groaning as he did it.
"You will never... groans again get away with this. I swear when I get free, I will support whoever is fighting against you with my FULL support."
"Yay! You get to be a cheerleader! How useful." Reaper 01 said boredly as the portal closed. "Full Support. As if that means anything from someone who can only talk."
President Bertrand glared at him before he smiled at Reaper 01.
"What's with that smile?" Asked Reaper 14.
That was when men in the Bertrand Republic Special forces busted through the windows of the Presidential office and opened fire at Reaper 01, causing him to duck behind cover while two of them kicked Reaper 14 away and took President Bertrand out of the room through the Window.
"DID YOU THINK I'D LET YOU CONTROL ME FOREVER?!" Shouted President Bertrand as he was taken to safety and Reaper 01 stood there with a look of surprise on his face.
"... Well that was unexpected. Reapers 09, 15, and 19, the President is trying to escape. Please indulge his game of tag. 16, 24, 26, please help them clean up." Reaper 01 said into his radio.
President Bertrand was taken to a car and driven off fast.
"Thank you men, you are all true patriots."
That was when Reapers 09, 15, and 19 came up next to them in their own car and opened fire, causing them to swerve to dodge them.
Back with the Japanese Fleet, they just got into American Waters and everyone was ready for the Invasion of the West Coast. Bertrand looked at the West coast with Nagisa standing next to him.
"This is it, General. The beginning of the end for the Bertrand Republic."
"It's definitely gonna be a tough fight, but we'll be able to pull a win as long as we play smart" Nagisa said
"Of course General. We are here to follow your orders. just tell us where to go and we will go there."
"Hm... Give me the locations and descriptions of the three bases nearest to us."
Bertrand nodded his head and walked over to a map of the nearest area to them.
"As of now the resistance base has been moved into Hollywood. The Bertrand Republic has a Naval Yard in San Francisco, and turned an old highway into an Airstrip. They are here, here, and here." as he pointed to three different locations
"We'll take down the airstrip force, reduce their aerial units. assemble a few units with our strongest fighters and equip them with strong body armor. have them charge in at the front of the base, and slowly draw out their defending forces. also have a few units carrying c4 go into the airstrip when the defending forces are successfully drawn out, and set the charges. After the airstrip is destroyed, the two groups will trap the defending forces and eliminate them."
"Copy that General." Bertrand said as he looked at the smoke from the destroyed Los Angeles. He then sighed at how they couldn't prevent its destruction.
"If you don't look at the past, you'll repeat history. Only look at the past, you'll never move forwards." Nagisa said as he continued analyzing the map. Bertrand looked at him with a small look of shock
"George Santayana, 1905. Impressive sir." he told the general, who nodded his head in acknowledgement.
"Yes. Now, we should also think about dealing with the Naval Yard. If we can limit their naval forces, we can increase naval help." Nagisa said.
"Ah yes about that. My Itona has been working on a new prototype weapon that can cripple Naval ships. He calls it the Propeller buster. Would you like me to call him to explain it to you?"
"Sure, that should be helpful."
Bertrand opened a Portal and out stepped an Itona wearing Battle armor like Bertrand.
"General Shiota, Meet my Itona Horibe."
"Hey. I hear you have an option for crippling naval ships?"
"Yes, I do. As he may have already told you, I have a new prototype weapon called the Propeller buster. It's Simple. It's a small Torpedo-like device that must be launched from a Submarine. once within range of the enemy vessel the device will activate and head to the end of the ship. once there it will make the Propellers go into reverse, making the ship back into the walls. It will keep going until the Propellers are destroyed. If they try to make them stop spinning in Reverse, the computers and Engines will cut off, making them inoperable without having to take them to get fixed." Horibe said as he explained his device.
"Hm... So you're saying we make the ships crash into their base?"Asked Nagisa, Horibe nodded his head.
"I am sir. And depending on where they are positioned in the water, they could also run into other ships in the way and do serious damage to them."
"Hm... This could be useful. This would allow us to save our ammunition for the base itself, as opposed to having to use our torpedoes on the ships themselves."
"Indeed. I'm also working on attaching an Electromagnetic Pulse device to a Torpedo as well in case the Propeller Buster is... well, a bust."
"That could also be useful. Alright, we first attack the airstrip to limit their air support and offense, and then we attack the naval base. Afterwards, we call in further reinforcements. And now that I think about it, instead of using C4 to bring down the airstrip, we should instead use smaller explosives to simply disable the airstrip. That'll let us use it for ourselves."
"That is a good idea sir. Myself, my Hiroto, and My Yuma. we can take care of the fighter jets while planting the explosives." Bertrand suggested to Nagisa, who smiled at him
"Alright, we have a plan. Get some rest. We set out tomorrow."
"Sir." they said before walking out, leaving Nagisa alone as Karma came in.
"Howdy General." Karma said with a smiled
"Hey, Karma."
"I heard the plan, I gotta say, it sounds like a good one. Though one thing is bugging me."
"What?"
"Bertrand and his group. They seem very powerful, yet they're not trying to take power for themselves. They seem... TOO helpful if you ask me."
"Hm. I guess. It's certainly difficult to trust them too much." Nagisa said as he leaned back. "Still, they're providing valuable resources and manpower right now. So, we'll play nice until they give us a real reason not to."
"Got it." Karma said as he walked out. He then went to a secret spot and placed a call.
"Mr. 1. Report."
"The seeds of mistrust have been sown, my great leader. That foolish General thought I was his Karma."
"Good. Continue shifting things, but subtly until their guns are pointed at each other."
"Of course, leader. This is way more fun than being the guard to the stupid President copy of yours. Such a weakling." (Have the GGR say this next if you don't mind, "And yet that weakling had slipped through your fingers! You're lucky you're one of my most loyal followers.")
"Indeed, yet you failed to successfully guard said weakling. You're fortunate that you're one of my most loyal, otherwise I would have you executed for your failure. Fail me again, and your luck will not hold up. Am I understood?"
"Yes, Grand Grim Reaper. Mr. 1 out." He then hung up and walked out, not knowing that Tomohito heard him.
Back with Nagisa, Tomohito walked in
"Hm? Tomohito? Is there something wrong?" Nagisa noted how Tomohito looked and instantly pressed a button. The walls were sealed down with steel covers, making the room soundproof. "What is it?"
"We have an Imposter on the ship Nagisa... and it's not an Among us joke either." Tomohito said to his general.
"... We'll have to play this safe then. Act natural, keep your eye out for anything. Make sure that the ships are all running properly, make sure everything is fine in our supplies, make sure they're observed."
"Already did man. Tell me, was Karma in here a while ago?"
"Yeah, he- he's the imposter, isn't he?"
"Yeah, did he try to sow distrust against Bertrand and his group?"
"Yeah, he did. Dammit, this is an Among Us joke."
"Anyway, the Karma that said that, he's working with the Grand Grim Reaper dude. and get this... the President of the Bertrand Republic... he's a good person. Apparently they took his office over."
"Seriously?! Hm, that explains a lot, like the sudden empire ideals."
"Yeah, we need to get Bertrand and his team here and get that fake Karma off the ship."
"Wait, we should play this carefully. Keep careful yet subtle surveillance on him. See if you can gather more info over the next two days. Then set up a trap, and then we bring in Bertrand."
"Got it." Tomohito said before Nagisa pressed the button again.
"Alright, now that you're finished airing out your private activities with Kanzaki, get back to work." Nagisa said out loud.
"yes sir!" Said Tomohito before running out.
The morning Came and Bertrand was preparing with his team when Nagisa came up to them.
"Hey, did Tomohito come to you to talk about his private time with Kanzaki too?" he asked casually.
"He did." Bertrand said to the General before handing a radar gun-like device to him.
"Well, remember to keep an eye on the rest. Make sure they don't get carried away like they did." Nagisa warned as he pocketed the radar.
"we're in the thick of it after all."
Bertrand nodded his head and got ready along with Isogai and Maehara. Horibe then got the devices he made ready to use.
Nagisa turned and walked back into the ship as the team went out.
Reaper 01 smiled and called the defenders, led by Reaper 03.
"The fish are swimming in the stream."
As the day grew older, the first group made their way to the airstrip base. The defending group met them mid-charge as planned. They were watched by Reaper 03 who observed from a window.
"Keep an eye out for the vital buildings and machinery. We'll be getting a second round of guests soon." he said into a radio.
"indeed." Said Akabane with CHiba and Rinka beside him
Soon, a radio crackled.
"Sir! We've detected the second group! They're located in the west wing!"
"Excellent. Let's go." Reaper 03 said as the groups made their way over to the west side.
Soon there was an Explosion where there shouldn't have been, which confused Reaper 03
"Move in, now!" Bertrand barked as a third group surged up. The second and third group surrounded the defenders. Bertrand grinned at the stunned Reapers as he remembered the coded message he received from Nagisa.
"Since he likely overheard our plans, we'll be altering it slightly. We'll be adding to and cutting the two groups into a third and fourth team, the former led by you and your three best men. Discard the explosives, and we'll disable the airstrip by simply removing the people working it. Take them out, and be quick. Meanwhile, the fourth team will be disabling communications. Once all that is over, we continue with the original plan to wipe out the remaining members."
"WHAT IN THE?!" Shouted Reaper 03 before he heard guns behind him and saw Akabane, CHiba, and Rinka.
"I cannot believe how dumb you are Reaper 03." Akabane said to the dumb Reaper.
Bertrand then called Nagisa and said, "Airstrip secured General."
On the ship, Reaper 01 was running when Sugino and Kanzaki stopped him with Nagisa and his Karma behind him.
"Karma, remember that fight we had in the Assassination Classroom?"
"Yeah. Best fight in my life."
"Let's see if this one keeps up." Nagisa said as the two walked forwards, Sugino and Kanzaki at the ready.
Reaper 01 Scoffed and pulled out his pistol as he shouted, "FOR THE GRAND GRIM REAPER!" and aimed it at Nagisa
Karma immediately dashed forwards and blocked the bullet, gritting his teeth as it sank into his side. Nagisa's eyes widened before they narrowed. Reaper 01 tried to shoot Nagisa again, but the remaining three whipped out their pistols and fired at him simultaneously. Even as he tried to dodge, the three bullets tore into him, bringing him down. One was in his leg, another was in his arm, and the last hit his chest.
Kanzaki ran over to Karma and imediately went to work
"Kanzaki... please tell me he's gonna make it?" Nagisa asked, very worried for Karma, as Sugino dragged Reaper 01 away.
"He should be fine. His body armor protected him well enough. He'll be good with enough bedrest and some first-aid."
"oh thank god." as he slid down the wall and grabbed his friend's hand.
"heh, I know you look like a girl, but I'd prefer an actual one." Karma joked. Nagisa rolled his eyes and kicked his head lightly.
"Even when you're shot you're still a prick, but you're also one of my old friends so I was worried I'd have to tell Manami you died."
"Please, it'll take more than a bullet to kill the devil." Karma grinned.
"Yeah, even if you died, your witch would probably bring you back, then kill you herself before reviving you again." Nagisa said with a smirk
"Ah, it's truly a match made in heaven." Karma sighed.
Kanzaki giggled at that remark, making Nagisa and Karma look at her
"You two, really are good friends. It makes this war look a little, brighter."
"Yeah, so I guess your Karma and Manami are lovers too?" Nagisa asked the doctor, to which she smiled and nodded.
"Yes, they are."
"nice," Karma said as Kanzaki finished patching him up. Nagisa was then told that the Naval base was also successfully taken, they had a beachhead. He smiled as he knew that the liberation of the US was underway.
I hope you guys enjoyed the Twelfth chapter of the story. If you have ideas for the next chapter leave a comment saying it. First time writing like this so I had some help from a friend of mine, later.
