As the Japanese alliance got a beachhead, back in the Bertrand Republic Capital, the Grand Grim Reaper growled at the loss of communication with Reaper 01. That was when he got a call and it was the real President Bertrand.

"You probably should have killed me when you had the chance, imposter." President Bertrand said from his new bunker. The Grand Grim Reaper was mad but he kept his cool

"Agreed, Mr. President. But don't mistake my pity for negligence. Next time, you will receive none."

"Yeah, and don't expect me to sit idly by while you drive my Republic to destruction"

"You can't stop an avalanche when it begins rolling. And you? You're not a threat. You're a fool who believes a speech and votes is enough to justify your power? You don't know what true power is." The Grand Grim Reaper ended the call before turning around.

President Bertrand growled as he sighed and sat in his seat.

"He's right, to him we're no threat."

"Don't worry sir. We're not the only ones fighting this war after all." one of his soldiers encouraged the president. President Bertrand looked at him and said, "I know that, but this imposter has most of the army fooled. The allies we once had hate the republic, and we have no way to show that he's an imposter."

"Still soldier... they've destroyed all the trust I've built with my allies after the collapse, I was too weak to stop them." President Bertrand said in response

"Well, when things are burned down, the best thing to do is rise up from the ashes. And besides, a nation is built out of people, not person."

President Bertrand looked at him with shock. Looking around at the other men, he saw them smiling. He had their support and they would die for him. smiling himself, President Bertrand stood up and saluted all his men.

"Thank you men... for putting your trust in me."

Back in California, Bertrand stood with the wounded after they began bringing the men onto shore as Nagisa walked up to him.

"So with that, we have both the airstrip and the naval base. It's important we continue to limit their reinforcement resources. If we can manage to do that, we can cripple them heavily."

"Indeed, I made contact with the WCR Resistance and they're doing everything in their capabilities to stall reinforcements until we're ready to push out. By the way Itona has a new toy for us to play with."

"what is it?"

"BRING IT OUT ITONA!" Bertrand said as he shouted towards a building. Horibe nodded and walked out. only to come back with a Tank that could hover. Driving it over to Nagisa and Bertrand before stopping

"... This is going to be useful."

"I present the X01-H Tank. Capable of driving directly over landmines. The armor is a mixture of Depleted Uranium, Obsidian, and Diamonds." Horibe said to the General, who now had a look of shock on his face

"Woah, woah, woah." Nagisa took a step back. "Depleted Uranium? Obsidian? Diamonds? This is too expensive!"

"Well we have a world where it's in abundance." Horibe told him

"Well, not only is it too expensive for us, but it's also rather inefficient. Why not use carbon nanotubes instead of obsidian and diamonds? Much more durable and useful." Nagisa suggested.

"Well that's the fun part." Horibe said as he got in the tank and activated a part that turned the tank invisible.

"Can Nanotubes do that, General?" Bertrand asked the shocked General

"I see, so you used diamonds and obsidian due to how they can react to light to allow the tanks to bend light around them. Still, diamonds and obsidian are not as efficient as carbon nanotubes. So how about we decrease the amount of diamonds and obsidian so that it's a layer over carbon, allowing for both durability and invisibility."

"Hm... Itona, can that work too?" Bertrand asked Horibe.

"Give me about 3 hours to put something together."

"That seem fair to you sir?" Bertrand looked at Nagisa.

"Yeah" Nagisa said as he nodded his head

"Get it done."

Horibe nodded his head and took the tank to his makeshift workshop. Few hours later, Horibe came back with the new design for the X01-H Tank.

"It's done, that was a good idea General." Horibe said to Nagisa

"Hm. Well, considering that these are hover tanks, we'll have greater mobility than the enemy, which will give us the edge in speed and travel time. Is it energy efficient?"

"Yes, the plates that make it invisible also act as solar panels to help give it more power." Horibe said to Nagisa.

"It also has a backup engine just in case there's no sunlight." Bertrand added on.

"Alright, that works. Alright, once we finish securing our new bases, assemble three more units, each with one of these tanks. Move to the next nearest base and make sure you're hidden well as you do. Another two will head to the next naval base to secure that."

"Understood sir." Horibe said as he drove off.

"Glad you like the tank General. Surprised you didn't ask what caliber it could shoot."

"It's a tank. as long as they blow things up, it should be fine." Nagisa said blatantly.

"Understood. Anything more we can..." Bertrand stopped and groaned as he placed a hand on the back of his neck and fell to his knees

"Bertrand? What's going on?"

"groans Get... Takebayashi... tell him... bring the syringe. He'll know... what to do." Bertrand said through the pain

Nagisa quickly went and got the doctor before bringing him to the tentacle man. Takebayashi pulled out a syringe and injected it into Bertrand's neck. Bertrand panted as the pain went away.

"Thanks Kotaro. But to answer your question, General. My tentacles were what was going on. Sometimes they get too excited for things and that builds up to where I would normally release the power in a tiny explosion. but Kotaro here was able to make a serum to help me with that because making the explosion also knocks me out for 3-4 days."

"I see. That's a pretty big downside, but I suppose it's not too bad compared to Korosensei's explosive biology." Nagisa pointed out to them

"At least I don't have an Absolute Defense form and would remain like that for 24 hours." Bertrand added on.

"Maybe, but it would be nice if you can fire a beam like Korosensei could." Nagisa pointed out, that made John smirk

"Oh you mean like this. KA-ME-HA-ME-HA!" shouted Bertrand as he shot down an enemy spy drone with a Beam, surprising Nagisa.

"Heh. Glad to see we can still afford to be dorks. Now go and see what other spy drones there are, and make sure you can somehow manage to interfere with the information they gathered. If the enemy finds out about the new tanks, there's no point in making them invisible." Nagisa pointed out. Bertrand nodded his head and called for backup. That was when HC Ritsu walked up to them.

"Luckily, according to the web, that spy drone didn't see the new tank Itona made." HC Ritsu said before seeing Nagisa stare at her with a shocked look on his face.

"... Is that a human Ritsu?" Nagisa asked Bertrand and HC Ritsu, who both nodded their heads

"Yup, you like this body? John and My darling Kotaro made it for me and I love it very much so." HC Ritsu said as she showed her body off

"Good for you, Ritsu." Nagisa smiled. Then paused.

"Hey, can't you make copies of your digital consciousness? If we combine that ability with human bodies for Ritsu..."

"You talking about your Ritsu?" Meahara asked as he joined them

"No, I'm talking about making even more soldiers than we already have." Nagisa told them.

"In theory that could work..." HC Ritsu said as she processed the data. Nagisa smiled but knew there had to be a but

"Is there a but?" asked Nagisa, to which HC Ritsu nodded her head

"Yes, if I do too many my mind could splinter." She told him, to Nagisa's understanding

"I see. What if we made simple copies of Ritsu? Instead of creating multiple Ritsu clones, we make simple A.I. copies based off of Ritsu's programming. Copy and Paste instead of split up."

"I'll see what I can do with my Kotaro." HC Ritsu said before walking off.

"This could be another advantage for us." Nagisa said to Bertrand.

Bertrand nodded his head in agreement.

"Indeed." Bertrand said as the two walked along to the command center. Back in Japan, Kayano smiled as she thought about her child with Nagisa as Meg came up to her.

"You look happy." Meg pointed out to the smiling Kayano.

"Oh hey Meg. Yeah, I'm excited... I'm pregnant after all." Kayano said to her friend.

"Yep, pregnancy is definitely something to be happy about, especially in war. With all the death happening around the world, it's good that life is being born."

"Indeed. I'm glad we were able to get home, Meg." She said as she looked around

"SO how's Hadet doing since her dad went to war to fight for our home for 10 years?" Kayano asked her

"She misses her dad, but she understands. Though, I'm a bit worried about her. She's been trying to train herself to 'avenge' her father if he died."

"Want me to talk to her?" Kayano said as she stood up

"No, it should be fine. If things get extreme, I can talk to her. But for now, let's just hold on to hope that this will stay as simple games."

"Indeed... though I did hear she asked for gun safety training." Kayano said to her Friend.

"That was a fun evening." Meg sighed. She made sure that Hadet knew of her disapproval via an open hand to the tush.

Back in the West Coast, Nagisa saw Yuma walking up to him, knowing what he wanted to do. When Yuma got to Nagisa, he tried to speak, but Nagisa cut him off.

"Yuma, don't even think about asking me what you are going to ask me."

"Come on. I'm stealthy enough. I'll just scout the area around the base, make sure there's no traps or attempts."

"Yuma, Meg asked me to make sure you stayed safe. Which is why I have you making the food. I know you want to help out. But think about your family. Your wife, your daughter, your mom and siblings."

"Alright, alright. Just, I'm not gonna sit to the side forever. Especially with how hard you fought for the exact same thing."

"I know... how about this. Bertrand is getting a team together to scout ahead. go tell him that you got my permission." Nagisa said after he sighed.

"Alright then. Thanks, Nagisa."

"You're welcome, Yuma." Nagisa said with a smile before seeing Yuma walk off.

Bertrand looked at the men he recruited for the scouting missions when Yuma came up to him

"Yo, Bertrand. Nagisa gave me permission to scout with you."

"Ah good. As long as your wife and daughter don't find out, they'll kill him." Bertrand said as he walked with Yuma to a Jeep.

"Eh, I'll stick with you. Should be fine then."

"Good point. come on." Bertrand said as he got into the driver's seat and Yuma got into the passenger seat.

Later, Bertrand and Yuma were staring at a Bertrand Republic Encampment.

"An encampment this close? We should probably report this to Nagisa." Yuma said.

"Hang on, I see no troops there. May be abandoned since our invasion."

"Maybe, but we should be careful." Yuma pointed out to the armored man

Bertrand nodded his head and stealth-fully with Yuma made their way closer to the encampment.

"Scanners show no one... this place is abandoned." Bertrand said as he looked around

"Hm... Something's not right here." Yuma said worried

"Yeah... DUCK!" Bertrand shouted as he pulled Yuma down right as a sniper round went through the air where Yuma's head was.

"What did I say?" Yuma griped as the two rolled under a nearby vehicle. Bertrand rolled his eyes before looking and moving backwards as a shot struck the ground in front of him.

"Opposite hilltop. It's him... the reaper version of Ryu." Bertrand said as Reaper 15 kept his rifle zeroed in on their position. Yuma pulled out his Pistol and looked at Bertrand.

"Can you take him?"

"Not from under here." Bertrand said as he looked around before spotting what they needed.

"There, the technical with the browning machine gun, see it?"

"Yeah. You're faster than me, and you can dodge bullets. You draw his fire, and I'll go for it."

"Got it," said Bertrand before he ran out of cover to draw Reaper 15's fire.

Once the first shot rang out, Yuma dashed, making sure to stay out of sight before making it to the technical. He climbed on and began firing the machine gun at the evil version of his classmate. This forced the sniper to dodge, letting Bertrand dash closer

Bertrand quickly the hill and kicked the rifle away from Reaper 15.

"You shouldn't have come to this world." Bertrand as he aimed his assault rifle at Reaper 15.

"..." Reaper 15 didn't say anything, simply choosing to stare at Bertrand with a cold look in his eyes.

"Hands in the air, now." Bertrand said to Reaper 15.

"... Tell me. When did you meet a Ryu without a Rinka?" he said. Another shot rang out, shooting Yuma and making him collapse with a shout. Bertrand dodged the second shot aimed for him as 15 spun a pair of pistols and opened fire on Bertrand.

"Bertrand! We got a second one! 10 o'clock!" Yuma yelled before rolling under another vehicle.

"I KNOW! NOW RINKA!" Bertrand shouted. Rinka popped up and stabbed her evil self in her throat.

Reaper 15 roared as the evil Rinka fell down before he grabbed a silver cylinder and pressed a button on it.

"I'm taking all of you with us!" he snarled. Bertrand kicked the cylinder hard straight up and it exploded before Reaper 15 tried to charge at him, but received a headshot from Chiba.

"Are you alright yuma?!" Bertrand asked after he ran towards yuma

"Yeah... I'm good. Just got me in the shoulder. I guess that Hayami wasn't as good as they'd usually be." Yuma groaned.

"Actually she was, from where she was at the only place she could have gotten you was your shoulder. Good thing we came along too."

"And on the plus side, they're down there now." Chiba added as he walked up to them from his hiding spot.

"Yeah. Still, we should definitely warn the rest of the army to keep their guards up." Yuma said. He looked at his shoulder. "Then again, we took out two of the most dangerous members, so things might be safer. Might."

"Agreed" Bertrand said as he patched up Yuma's shoulder

Bertrand, Chiba, Rinka, and Yuma got back to the Forward Operating Base to report in where they saw Nagisa making out with Rio on the planning table

"Really? All that complaining about not working, and you go do this?" Bertrand laughed.

Nagisa and Rio looked at the four and blushed hard before getting up off the table and fixed their clothes.

"Not one word to anyone about this." Nagisa told them.

"Dude it's ok. I was just pointing it out.

"Pointing out the hilarity." Yuma chuckled as he rubbed his shoulder gently. It was easy to patch him up.

"Hey man you ok?" Nagisa said as he walked over to Yuma.

"He's fine, He just got shot in the shoulder by Reaper 19, my evil version." Hayami told the general.

"Oh yeah, your report did say that. You sure have some lucky stars Yuma." Nagisa said as he put a hand on Yuma's unshot shoulder.

"Thank Man." Yuma said with a smile.

"General, isn't there a medal of Valor in the Free Japanese Republic for saving the life of a Comrade when his or her life was in danger?" Bertrand asked Nagisa.

"Yes, but I'm not sure if you guys earned that just yet." Nagisa said teasingly

"Not for me... for Yuma." Bertrand suggested to the general.

"Well, I don't think I earned that just yet. When you think about it, we just worked together. I didn't exactly save you. Still, I'll definitely be working to earn a medal like that." Yuma said.

"Then how about a Promotion, from Private to Corporal." Nagisa said with a smile

"I... can accept that. Give Hadet something to brag about." Yuma grinned.

"Then congratulations Corporal Isogai, you've done a good day's work." Nagisa said before saluting Yuma. He smiled brightly

"Thanks, General." Yuma said, saluting him back.

"You're dismissed corporal." Nagisa said to his friend.
