Bertrand stood with his team in front of Nagisa, Karma, their fellow Classmates and a video call with the FJR PResident.
"Alright now, Bertrand. Mind giving us that explanation?" Nagisa asked stiffly.
Bertrand sighed, stepping forward, he spoke.
"It was 6 weeks before the collapse in my world. We were trying to find out where the Grand Grim Reapers would strike next. they've been hammering themselves hard against our multiverse alliance and we've been hitting back. As I watched the universes through the universe mirrors, the GGR appeared through one and told me that he would never stop his conquest and to just surrender to him. Frankly he tries that same line and it gets so annoying."
"I can imagine." Sugino said under his breath, but received a thump from his fiance.
"Quiet." Yukiko said to her Fiance.
"So naturally I told him to stuff it where the sun doesn't shine. Soon he told me that in six weeks he would cause an entire world to fall int anarchy. we tried to figure out which world it was until it was too late. He casted a spell he learned from another universe to make the world leaders say to their citizens that they were on their own
"That explains what the prime minister said to us that day
"Yeah, it definitely does." Nagisa agreed with Karma. He turned back to Bertrand. "So what you're saying is that he sabotaged our world for anarchy as opposed to domination? And for what?"
"Chaos. It feeds a machine he's been hiding for years. We still haven't found it yet. I'm sorry for not telling you sooner. But we didn't realize this was the same world until after we joined your army.
"So you're telling me that this fucker has a machine that feeds off of chaos? And he is using our world as a battery for it?" Nagisa asked with anger in his voice .Bertrand looked down and at the table, his silence was a good enough answer. That pissed Karma off.
"I LOST MY ARM SO THAT FUCKING RETARDED ASS PIECE OF SHIT COULD FEED OFF OUR PLANET TO POWER HIS FUCKING WEAPON?!" Karma shouted in anger. Again, Bertrand was silent.
"Karma! You're angry for a good reason, but Bertrand isn't responsible for that!" Nagisa snapped. The two men glared at each other, their bloodlust making most of the people in the room shudder before Karma managed to calm down and grunt as he turned away. Nagisa turned back to Bertrand.
"As for you, I'd much rather know what exactly the stakes are in this conflict as opposed to being blind to it, and keeping a secret as big as this is quite frustrating. So I hope you understand why exactly we're so agitated." Nagisa said as he stared at them. Bertrand nodded his head, he knew he fucked up, royally.
"It's true that he kept the truth from you. But if you acted differently if he told you, there would have been more Chaos." SW Nagisa said as he and his friends walked in and stood behind Bertrand and the team.
"No, that's wrong. If we truly knew what the bastard wanted, we would've prepared accordingly and come up with a plan to avoid causing more chaos than necessary. But instead, we were in the dark, and thus we fought this war like an ordinary one, not caring about the chaos left in our wake so as long it meant that we would win this war." Nagisa countered. He turned back to Bertrand. "We entered a partnership where you and your team were treated as high ranking members of this army out of trust. You may be from other worlds, but you're in this one, and you follow this world's rules. From now on, if you want to maintain that trust, you have to tell us everything related to this war, be it secrets you have or secrets you obtain."
Bertrand nodded his head again, he then stood up and walked out. Later, Bertrand sat on a bench looking in the park at the ground as his Nagisa came up to him.
"Yen for your thoughts?" Shiota asked
"sure." Bertrand said as Shiota sat next to him. They stayed silent for a few seconds.
"... This is the part where you say your thoughts." Shiota said.
"Your thoughts are that I royally fucked up. and you're right. I should have told them all the truth. I kept one secret just so I hoped to control the chaos but... sighs that didn't seem to work." Bertrand said as he looked at the sky. Bertrand looked at Shiota and asked, "Am I wrong?"
"You tried to make a castle out of sand, but you neglected to add water to it. As such, it collapsed." Shiota said. "But don't be too hard on yourself. You care about every world we've come to, and you try your best for each world. Chances are though, you're gonna make mistakes."
"and the mistake I made cost trust between me and this world's Nagisa to be lost."
"Maybe he's upset, but I doubt you lost every bit of trust. Consider the situation we're in. If he really lost all trust in you, we'd probably be having this talk in a cell."
Bertrand nodded his head.
"Yeah... I guess you're right. But still he doesn't have as much trust in me as before and... reminds me when you and I were arguing
"It probably helps that we're both Nagisas."
"Plus I have kept secrets too." Nagisa said as he walked to join them. "I assume in your world Bounty Hunter me, that your mom tried to make you wear dresses?"
"Yeah?"
"Same, I never told my friends cause of my insecurity. Eventually I did tell them, and then Rio tried making me wear more dresses. But I want to apologize to you John." Nagisa said as he looked at Bertrand
"You don't have to. You had a point, and you were right." Bertrand retorted
"Well, I could've been nicer." Nagisa pointed out.
"You could've." Shiota said.
"Anyway, I have trust you'll help us free our home from the people trying to sow Chaos. Will you help us?" Nagisa asked him. Bertrand smiled, stood up and saluted Nagisa. Nagisa grinned and saluted him back.
"Alright, now. Let's get to work."
Later on, Bertrand was carrying a box of ammo when Karma pinned him to a Humvee.
"I don't care what Nagisa says, You are still an asshole for not telling us sooner." Karma said to Bertrand in Anger. Bertrand replied, "You're right... I was one. and I am sorry. I'm going to make it up to you all by trying my damn hardest to free your world."
"You'd better." Karma said as he let him go.
"KARMA!" Nagisa shouted as he walked to the two. "Don't pretend I didn't see that."
The two friends went off to the side to argue slightly as Bertrand continued carrying the ammo to the trucks. Tomohito soon came along to break things up, and Karma was put on cleaning duty for a few days as punishment.
"I'm sorry Nagisa. if you want we can leave for a few days to help ease the tension." Bertrand suggested
"No, we have to push our advantage. We can't pass on our resources so much."
Bertrand nodded his head in agreement.
"Sir! Bounty Hunter. we got reports from the Biker Resistance, they were attacked by the Russians." A comms officer said.
Bertrand looked at the map as Nagisa glared at the comms officer
"Get the Russians on the radio. I want answers."
The Comms Officer nodded and contacted the Russians as Nagisa also grabbed the back of his neck.
"Soldier, I know you're angry, and you do have a right to. But remember that we're in a war. We don't have time for infighting." Nagisa said as he let the soldier go.
The comms officer nodded his head and got back to work.
"Thank you General, I really hope I don't cause Turmoil while I'm here." Bertrand said, getting a scoff from the Comms Officer.
"Soldier."
"Er... sorry sir."
"I think you should keep your head low for a bit." Nagisa said.
Bertrand nodded his head and said. "Yeah I think that will have to be done."
Later, General Fyodorovich answered the call.
"Hello Comrades, what is the issue?"
"General. We just received reports that the Russian Army attacked the Biker Resistance. I hope that this was a mistake."
"No Mistake, the Biker Resistance may make you think they allies, but they work for Bertrand Republic, we have confession we got out of one such biker."
"I see. I would like to confirm this for myself."
"Very well, comrade, we will send you biker with escort." General Fyodorovich said before ending the call.
"I do not like this at all Nagisa."
"That's general Shiota to you." Said a passing Soldier.
Nagisa glanced at this with a sweatdrop.
'I hate passive aggressiveness.' he thought.
Later, Nagisa and Karma were standing in wait for the Russian escort. Bertrand and his men were out on the field in three groups for a mission to avoid the passive aggression.
"Be ready for anything." Nagisa said to Karma.
Karma nodded his head as the Transport truck General Fyodorovich sent with the biker arrived and two New Russian Empire soldiers got out, ragging the biker they had out. It was the Beta, and he looked like he was put through the ringer twice.
"General Shiota, I am Captain Grabovhich, here is prisoner." one Russian soldier said as Yukiko and Kotaro ran up to the Beta.
"Yukiko, Kotaro, take Beta in. Captain, thank you for escorting him. Karma, lead our guests to some refreshments." Nagisa said as he followed Yukiko and Kotaro.
Karma nodded his head and led the Russians to get drinks.
Kotaro and Yukiko patched the Beta up as Nagisa walked in.
"Those bastards." Yukiko Cursed.
The Beta groaned as he opened his eyes and saw Nagisa.
"General... Shiota. How did I..." asked the Beta before Groaning.
"Word on the street is that the Biker Resistance was plotting against us. We need answers."
The Beta shook his head and said that the Russians captured him and tortured. He showed them his left hand as it had the middle, Ring, and Pinky fingers were gone.
"He's telling the truth." SW Nagisa said as he entered the tent.
"How do you know?"
"I've been trained to know when people are lying or not, even if they were beaten up like hell. He's telling the truth." SW Nagisa as Yukiko patched up the Beta's hand
"I see. In that case, the question to be answered here is this done maliciously, or accidentally."
"the Confession they made me sign... I was forced to sign after hours of this." The Beta said as he coughed. SW Nagisa nodded his head again.
"We're in an advantageous position as of right now, but also one where it's dangerous for us to lose that advantage. If we suspect the Russians, our allies, we need to do so with solid basis." Nagisa said. He turned to SW Nagisa. "See what you can gather from the captain, but don't make it clear that you're suspecting them. In fact, try not to make it clear that you're a different Nagisa."
SW Nagisa nodded his head and walked off. spotting the Captain drunk, he dropped off his rifle to SW John and walked over.
"Karma, can I get a beer here?" SW Nagisa said as he sat next to the Captain
"Sure." Karma said as he passed a can over to the Star Wars variation of his friend
"Thanks buddy. Man, it feels like forever since I killed Asano in self defense." SW Nagisa said trying to be Nagisa
'Boi, that's your best try?' Karma deadpanned and thought while turned away, having easily seen through the attempt as Nagisa's best friend.
"You killed a man in Self Defense General Shoita?" Captain Grabovhich asked in a drunken state.
"Oh, yeah. It was an unfortunate turn of events. A man thought that he could control the army better than he could, which only crippled us. We ended up having a duel, which ended with his death as he turned it into a death match."
"A... hiccup Honorable way to kill a man. Just like our leader as taught up. TO THE NEW TSAR OF THE NEW RUSSIAN EMPIRE!" Captain Grabovhich said.
"Sure, to the future!" SW Nagisa said awkwardly as they clinked beer cans together
Captain Grabovhich downed his beer before looking at SW NAgisa.
"Wanna hear a secret? My commander had the biker beaten up, HARSHLY! It wasn't until we started cutting his pretty fingers off one, hiccups by one, where he agreed to sign false confession." Captain Grabovhich said before leaning forward, "Don't tell anyone, it secret we must keep."
'He can not hold his beer' Both Karma and SW Nagisa thought as they nodded their heads.
"I don't supposed you can say why all that happened?" SW Nagisa prodded.
" Oh da I can. The generals want north America by order of our leader, Joseph Stalin. He named himself after the original stalin." Captain Grabovhich said in between hiccups.
"..."
'Not dignifying that with a response.' Karma thought.
"Don't tell anyone else, it's a secret. Promise me you won't say?" The captain said before passing out
"... Whelp. Guess we'll just give this information to Nagisa." SW Nagisa said with a sigh.
Karma nodded his head and sighed as well
Later, Bertrand returned and saw some Russians in cages, others not.
"Did we miss something?"
"Let's just say that we were lucky that we already took precautions for the Russians going against us. This is what I get for having faith in things being different." Nagisa said as he passed by. "Mission Report."
"Team one found nothing on Patrol, Team two reported a Broken down Tank, team three engaged a Bertrand Republic scouting party."
"Good. Any new surprises?"
"No new surprises so far." Bertrand said as they walked into the command Tent. SW Nagisa nodded his head to show Bertrand was telling the truth once again.
"Good. We don't need any other thing to deal with on top of this. Take the Russian prisoners to the following coordinates, and hold them there. We were too hasty and now there's a risk of losing our element of surprise. If the Russians want to second-hand deal, we'll need to manipulate the deck."
Bertrand nodded his head.
"What about the Russians that are not prisoners? What are they going to do?"
"We Decided to fight with you. For a free world." Said Captain Vladscovich as he walked in wearing an Armband of the Russian Flag with a fist over it.
"If we want to win this war while fighting our current war, we'll need to be careful." Nagisa said. "That's where they come in. But for now, they'll be playing the roles they have been already"
"Got it." Bertrand said before having Akabane and Shiota take the prisoners to the Coordinates.
'I thought the Russians would be smart enough to wait until after we're done with this war to make a move, but I guess not. Then again, this does put them in an advantageous position over us. Yare yare daze."
"Yeah, with as much as we've gone our borders are thin and we need to reinforce the lines."
Later, Nagisa and Bertrand were looking at a map when Captain Vladscovich walked in and saluted them.
"Captain." Nagisa responded as he saluted the Russian Captain.
"General, Sub Commander, I got in contact with people I trust. They will ask to be transferred to your command if you call the general for reinforcements for a future push." Captain Vladscovich said with a smile
"Good. Continue your usual duties until the time comes." Nagisa said.
The Captain nodded his head and walked off.
"looks like there's a Bertrand Republic Pocket of Resistance in... oh for Fuck sakes..." Bertrand said as he saw the location
"Where is it?"
"The FREAKING ALAMO!" Bertrand shouted as he showed Nagisa the location
(yeah, now in the story, a group of Bertrand Republic soldiers are held up in there)
"Texas? But we were just there."
"Yeah I know, but the Bertrand Republic must have been spread out and are now forming resistance pockets against us. Should we let Emperor Jones handle them?"
"Yeah, our forces are spread too thin as it is." Nagisa said. "But this is still concerning."
"Indeed... well how about letting my team handle them?" Bertrand suggested. "We have the skills."
"That sounds like a good idea. It'll let our army focus on battling without any of the aggression towards you."
Bertrand nodded his head and walked out and called his team. Later, Bertrand and Shiota stared at the alamo.
"Can't believe those fuckers are using a historic landmark." Bertrand said under his breath
"Are you really surprised?" Shiota sighed.
"No, after all they used the Missouri." Bertrand said as he and Shiota got back to their Taken Bertrand Republic Humvee. Shiota nodded his head and the two rejoined their team.
"The team's ready." Isogai said while preparing his rifle. Bertrand nodded his head and looked at Terasaka and his team on the Mortar jeep he made himself.
"Let's take the alamo." Bertrand said and got his pistol out. The team agreed and moved out. They began to roll towards the Alamo, guns at the ready. At the Alamo, the Bertrand Republic soldiers were on look out when a soldier saw Bertrand and his team approaching them. Seeing the Bertrand Republic Flags, he assumed they were friendly humvees so he went down to tell his commander and they opened the gates.
"That was easy, TERASAKA NOW! FLOOR IT NAGISA!" Bertrand shouted. Shiota put the pedal to the floor and drove faster as Terasaka's team launched a Mortar and got an explosion that took out several Bertrand Republic soldiers as Bertrand jumped forward and fired his pistol as the others came and joined him. The Bertrand Republic soldiers were so caught off guard that some surrendered quickly as others tried to fight back, only to get gunned down or knocked out. Bertrand jumped to the flagpole where the flag of the Bertrand Republic was and took the flag down. Soon the battle was over and the Alamo was taken.
"Well done Hunter Classroom, the Alamo is secured." Bertrand said through his helmet as it disguised his voice. SHiota and Akabane nodded their heads as one captured soldier said, "YOU JAPANESE SCUM THINK YOU'RE SO CLEVER?! WELL PRESIDENT BERTRAND WILL MAKE SURE YOUR JAPANESE ALLIANCE CRUMBLE!"
Bertrand looked at the soldier who said that, knelt down, and took off his helmet. The Bertrand Republic soldiers were all shocked to see him.
"Mr… President?" Said the now-shaking soldier who first blurted out.
'Why didn't I think of this sooner?' thought Bertrand before looking back at the soldier. "Yes, it's me. Now listen up. The man who looks like me is an imposter, he's from another universe who took over our mighty and peaceful Republic and conquered our former allies. The Japanese Alliance is here to free us all. Will I count on you to save our Republic, and our allies?"
