A Few days have gone by, John looked around at the Japanese alliance as he thought to how he could've stopped the grand Grim Reapers but couldn't and Nagisa walked up to him.
"Hello, President. Is there something concerning you?"
"Oh General... sorry, I'm still not over how I let that Grand Grim Reaper walk all over me.
"Well, from what I heard, there aren't many that can stand up to them."
"Yeah... I could have done something else..." John said as he drank his beer
"Like what?"
"I... I don't know. I was supposed to protect the people... now look at what's happened. The army doesn't even listen to me anymore." John said as he sat in his seat.
"Hopefully things will go back to how they're supposed to. But that's only possible if you work for it to go back." Nagisa said, Re-encouraging John. That was when John realized that he was right, so he smiled and nodded his head.
"That's right, Thank you General. I can see why our other world counterparts helping you are such good friends." he said with a smile.
"Thank you. Now, let's get to work."
John nodded his head in agreement. Later, Bertrand was preparing a Report when Nagisa came in.
"Bertrand, do you have any news?"
"Nothing much. this is from another universe that I got. However I doubt even the Grand Grim Reaper's foolish enough to involve them in this war." Bertrand said as he folded a report that had a Dragon symbol on it.
"Hm. Well, we can't be too careful. Make preparations if you can."
Bertrand nodded his head and called his counterpart in that universe.
Meanwhile, SW John sniped a Enemy scout
"Another one bites the dust." SW John said with a bit of smugness in his voice.
"Doo doo doo." SW Nagisa said.
"Another one bites the dust."
"And another one gone."
"And another one done."
"Another one bites the dust."
"nice man." SW John said with a smirk. SW John then stood up and walked to the jeep when a sniper sound was heard and SW John took a hit to the shoulder, making him fall to the ground.
"Oh, shit!" SW Nagisa said as he ducked before firing a shot in return, hitting the sniper before going to SW John. Groaning, SW John sat up against the jeep's tire as SW Nagisa checked on him
"Looks like it's not fatal, but you definitely need a medic."
"Yeah, lucky bastard." SW John said as SW Nagisa helped him up. Back at the base, Bertrand looked at a report when a shot rang out and an alliance soldier fell.
"Shit, it's the black Arachnid." Said Bertrand as he took cover from the Bertrand Republic's deadliest sniper. Bertrand then hopped onto a mounted machine gun and opened up where the shot came from.
"Attention all troops! The Black Arachnid has made it to the base! Take cover and watch for sniper fire! Repeat, take cover and watch for sniper fire!" Nagisa's radio blared, catching the attention of both him and John. Nagisa's senses peaked and he tackled John, saving him from a sniper round. He quickly dragged John under a jeep as more rounds rang off of the metal.
"Jesus! PLease don't kill her!" John shouted to Nagisa.
"We'll worry about that later, right now we have to make sure she doesn't kill us!"
"Ok... do you have a megaphone?" John asked Nagisa as shots rang out more
"Do I look like I have one?" Nagisa asked with a deadpan look on his face. John looked around and saw one. Crawling to it, he grabbed it and dragged it to where Nagisa was and pointed the megaphone outwards.
"Rachel! Can you hear me! It's your Brother!" Shouted John. Suddenly the firing stopped. Bertrand and Nagisa both looked at John with confusion. John slowly poked his head out from the jeep.
"... You have a sister?" Nagisa asked Bertrand over the radio.
"I have an adopted one, but Rachel's not her name." Bertrand said back to him. John walked slowly out of hiding as a person rode a motorcycle towards them. stopping and removing the helmet, they saw a woman with blue eyes and brown hair.
"Hey Rach." John said to his sister.
"John, what are you doing here in the enemy camp? Why are you here?"
"It's a long story... seriously, you may wanna sit down in the camp." John said to her. Rachel was hesitant, but respected her brother. so she followed him in. "My sister is not to be harmed in any way shape or form Nagisa. I hope you understand that."
"Harm won't fall on her unless she initiates conflict." Nagisa told him, John nodded his head and walked his sister to the command tent.
"The John who's been in my seat is an imposter Rach. He's a me from a different universe." John started off with.
"... A different universe?"
"Yeah. In his world, he was evil and took over a whole class to make them his subordinates and then they took over their world. Then they came here and took over my position. Don't you think it's a bit weird that I turned on my allies to the north and south?" John asked his sister as Nagisa and Bertrand sat next to John.
"Well, yeah. And I guess it explains why there's an old version of you." Rachel said, looking at Bertrand, making him raise an eyebrow.
"You are old. But yeah, this guy came from his own universe to help us. He and his friends are here trying to stop the evil me's plans. General Shiota and the Japanese alliance are here to liberate all the countries the Bertrand Republic occupies. Then we're going to turn north to liberate the Canadian countries from the New Russian Empire." John told her. Rachel was shocked and took it all in. "So sis, do you want to help us free not only the countries the Bertrand Republic occupies, but Free the Bertrand Republic from Evil me's grasp?" John asked his sister.
"... This is a lot. But yeah. I'll see if I can put this bullet between the imposter's eyes."Rachel said to her brother. John smiled, stood up, and hugged his little sister. Bertrand smiled as Nagisa also stood up.
"Welcome to the Alliance Rachel Bertrand." Nagisa said as he held out his hand. Rachel smiled and shook it. Later, Nagisa was checking for any casualties.
"Any reports?" he asked Bertrand over the radio.
"Besides the one trooper she downed besides me, I count 10 dead, 11 wounded. Four of which were from when she hit an explosive barrel.
"Hm. Looks like we've got a bit of work to cover. First things first, pack things up and let's move. Too many people found out where we are already."
"Copy that. LET'S GO MEN PACK IT UP WE'RE MOVING OUT!" Bertrand shouted to the alliance men. John smiled when Rachel came out bearing the Bertrand Republic Freedom Fighters patch on her arm.
"Make sure that her identity is hidden. The last thing we need is more animosity amongst the army." Nagisa said to John
"Little late for that." he replied as some of the men looked at her with hate.
"You got a problem with that woman soldier?" Bertrand asked one of the men. A Private looked at his squad and stood up and stared into Bertrand's eyes.
"Yeah. I do. And with you. That lady killed several other soldiers, and now she's walking free. You've kept secrets from the army that were important to know, and you think you have the right to boss us around. That's our problem with the two of you, and all of your little friends. If we screw up, we get punished for it. You deliberately keep things from us, she killed several of our men and friends, and you guys get to walk free. What makes you think we wouldn't have a problem with you guys?" The Soldier said with anger in his voiceBertrand said nothing as he took off his armor and stared at the private, causing Nagisa to worry a bit.
"Go ahead, one free punch." Bertrand said to the soldier
"..." The private looked him up and down before punching him square across the jaw, knocking him down. Bertrand rubbed his Jaw and stood back up.
"Again." He told the private. Another punch, another knock down. Bertrand stood back up.
"Keep it coming." He told the private, who was visibly shocked at how he could take it
The private swung and struck Bertrand, and continued knocking him down as he kept getting back up. Nagisa was speechless, Bertrand was getting back up and allowed himself to be punched every time.
"Come on! SWING HARDER!" Bertrand shouted
"Enough!" Nagisa stepped in. The soldier panted as he finally put down his fists.
"We've wasted enough time on this. We'll settle it later. For now, get back to your stations, and move out!" he yelled. Soldiers began moving again, muttering to each other. Nagisa approached Bertrand.
"That didn't help anything, but good try."
"Correction, it helped him vent his frustration." Bertrand said as he put his armor back on
"Vent his frustration? Bertrand, unless you want every soldier in the camp line up to beat the snot out of you, the only thing you did was make a show. Things aren't gonna be solved just because you let one guy wail on you. Shortcuts don't exist here."
"True, but with that one soldier. I saw the others see how I was taking responsibility for not telling you all I knew. I felt their respect for me grow just by looking at them."
"Ah, whatever. Just finish packing." Nagisa sighed as he walked away. Bertrand got to packing as the same private from before walked up to him, confused as to why Bertrand let him punch him so many times
"Something I can help you with soldier?" Bertrand asked the Private.
"Uh... Gah! Look. Don't think you're off the hook! If you think that using you as a punching bag excuses everything and the fact that woman killed several of our men, you're living in a dream world! But, I guess we can give you a check..." The Private said to him
"Of course. and I understand that you're mad. However I know that there are factions in the Japanese Alliance that want to control more land in Japan. Your nation being one of them. Being from the Hokkaido Empire yourself." Bertrand said as he showed the private a file with intel that only the Hokkaido Emperor and higher ups in the military knew about.
"So Private, I can understand your frustration for me keeping secrets from you. But why don't you feel the same about your superiors to us." Bertrand said before walking off.
Later, the alliance Army arrived at the border of the Texan Empire and Southern Republic.
"Find a place to set up a base, and make sure it's as obscure as possible." Nagisa called. He turned to Rachel. "Put your sniper skills to use to scout out any sniper advantage points.
"Copy." Rachel said as she went off with Chiba and Hayami. Bertrand helped set up a good spot for them as Nagisa walked over to him
"Bertrand, check the perimeter once you're done."
Bertrand nodded his head and set up a tent for the command center. Meanwhile, The Grand Grim Reaper hasn't heard from either Reapers 11 or 20 for some time and assumed they were lost. He then pressed a button for all his remaining Reapers, including Reaper toka.
"Reapers, it's time to go. This world has served it's purpose." He told them. Reaper toka was confused as to why she wasn't being rescued. and Reaper 06 asked the Grand Grim Reaper about her.
"My Grand Reaper, sir. What about 25?" Reaper 06 naked her leader.
"Leave her. She failed to keep our world safe. She is a failure of a Reaper." The Grand Grim Reaper said with no emotion. Reaper 25 pulled out the Earpiece and smashed it. She then bursted into tears for being left behind. Later, Bertrand checked the Perimeter of the base and returned to the command Tent.
"Perimeter secured General." said Bertrand with a salute
"Good. Anything to note?" Nagisa asked him
"Nothing much. just a wild dog here and there... permission to check on the prisoner?" Bertrand asked, and Nagisa nodded his head
"Permission granted." he told him
Bertrand nodded his head and walked out of the command tent and towards the Prison cells. entering the room, he saw Reaper 25 laying on the ground facing him, her face had a look of defeat on it. That made him worry a bit.
"Go away." Reaper 25 told him, but Bertrand shook his head.
"you're hurting. You see now that I told you the truth." Bertrand said to her
"And you're here for an "I told you so". I don't want to hear it. Go away."
"I'm not going to say that." Bertrand said before walking into the cage and knelt before gently hugging her. Reaper 25 said nothing, but did nothing as well as she stared at the floor. Bertrand simply rubbed her back and held her in his arms. Later, Nagisa and Bertrand walked through the new camp, looking around the area.
"And how many entrances did you find to this area?"
"Just two, and I've placed heavy defenses at both points." Bertrand said as he showed Nagisa the map. Nagisa smiled and nodded his head
"good. secure escape routes in case we're invaded." Nagisa told him. Bertrand nodded his head but his mind was distracted with Reaper 25. Later, Bertrand was still worried for Reaper 25 as he ate his, or should I say not eat his lunch.
"John, if you can't focus while working, you should probably take a break. An unfocused soldier is just a liability." Shiota said.
"I know Nagisa. I'm worried about Reaper 25. She was abandoned by the Grim Reapers. No matter how hard I try, her defeated look is in my head." Bertrand said as nagisa and Shiota sat down at the table.
"In that case you're going to have to leave the battlefield for a while then. If you can't focus, you're just going to drag your squad down. Shiota will take over." Nagisa said. Bertrand nodded his head in agreement. Soon he went back to Hawaii where his wife waited for him. Later, Shiota was cleaning his rifle when Nagisa came up to him
"Alright, Shiota. I got a mission for you. Resource base. 20 clicks north. Your team sets out in 10." Nagisa told his HC counterpart.
"Yes sir. I hope John enjoys his vacation, he needs it." Shiota said. Nagisa nodded his head as he thought about when Bertrand
"Hopefully he'll be more focused when he gets back. Now get ready." Nagisa told him. Shiota nodded his head and walked out. That was when Rio came in and kissed his cheek. Nagisa smiled and kissed her back.
"Hey baby, you ok?" Rio asked him. Nagisa nodded his head and held his first lover close to him.
"I'm good baby, everything ok?" Nagisa asked her as he rubbed her bigger baby bump. Rio smiled and leaned on him with her hand on his. Nagisa smiled more and held his lover close to him and rubbed her belly. Meanwhile, Bertrand was looking at the New Resource base with Akabane by his side.
"So, you see anything?" Akabane asked
"Some defense cannons. Three AA guns, looks like they've turned the Gas Station into the main office and... shit. Under the Water tower." Bertrand said as he handed Akabane the binoculars. What he saw was a pen of humans tied up and gagged, with two of the men pulling out one man and forcing him into a nearby home before a shot was heard.
"Sheesh. These guys are like Berserk and cartoon villains did a fusion dance. Any ideas?" Akabane asked his friend. Bertrand scanned the area and noticed a jeep leaving.
"We're gonna walk in the front door." Bertrand said to Akabane, making him sweatdrop
"… cartoon it is." Akabane said as he crawled away with Bertrand back to the other two members. Later, the Bertrand Republic Sentries noticed the Jeep came back and opened the gate for it. When the occupants got out, the driver sent his comrades towards the water Tower and the home where the shot came from as he walked into the Gas Station, there he saw a man wearing a Bertrand Republic Flag on his arm but with the Swastika over it, meaning he was a Nazi from the WW2 Nazi world.
"reporting back in commander." the man said with a deep voice.
"Talk" the Nazi Commander said as he looked over resource reports
"We came across a fallen tree and proceeded to move it. We were then attacked by some local fighters." the officer said as he put a silencer on his pistol
"What happened after that?"
"We killed your men and took their uniforms to get into this base." said the soldier as he took the helmet off and it was Bertrand before he fired his silenced pistol at the commander in his head
Soon the soldiers began to quietly make it through the enemies
Bertrand walked over to the dead commander and took all of the papers he deemed important before walking out and saw his comrades, Akabane, Shiota, and Isogai, were all done and the resource base was empty.
"didn't save any for me? I'm hurt you guys." Bertrand said with a chuckle, that made the other three gentlemen laugh
"Funny. Now let's report back to base." Shiota said
"Right, Yuma, get on the radio and tell the general the Resource base is under our control, Karma got to the civilians and set them free. Nagisa with me. I want to see what's in that house." Bertrand said as he gave the orders
"Let's go." Shiota said as Akabane and Isogai walked off. Bertrand and Shiota then headed for the house Bertrand saw them take someone into and entered it, only for Shiota to run back out and puke his Japanese MREs as Bertrand walked back out, closed the door behind him, and sat on the steps.
"… Let's not talk about what was in there." Shiota said as he tried not to hurl again.
"Agreed." Bertrand said as Isogai came up to them.
"Got in contact with command, they want us back at base." Isogai told the two. Bertrand nodded his head and stood up before heading back into the house with a camera.
Later, Bertrand made sure his team took care of the rescued prisoners before he went into the command tent.
"We took the resource base," Bertrand said to Nagisa
"Anything new to be aware of?"
"Just that the Soldiers in the occupied Southern republic are ruthless killers," Bertrand said to him
"Like seriously, what we saw there was a new low," Bertrand said as he sat down across from Nagisa and John.
"I have to wonder if there's any gray line when it comes to them." Nagisa sighed. It seemed like the enemies were determined to be the bad guys no matter what. John looked at Bertrand and asked what he was talking about. Bertrand then pulled out photos he took and showed it to the two leaders. In the photos were mutilated corpses, bodies sewn together, and body parts attached to different bodies. John was horrified and ran out of the tent to puke.
"Put those away," Nagisa said. "Fucking hell."
Bertrand nodded and put them away
"Okay, so we established that these guys are evil. What now?" Nagisa said as John came back in, looking pale and purple at the same time.
"I have some rescued prisoners from the base when we liberated them," Bertrand said to them
"What can they give us?" Nagisa asked Bertrand
"The army left to occupy the Southern Republic were ALL Nazi," Bertrand said to them.
"WHAT? NAZIS?!" Shouted John as he stood up from his seat. Bertrand nodded his head as John shot a look at Nagisa
"Oh yeah, there's that too."
"Nazis... in my army... UGH! I HATE NAZIS! HATE HATE HATE HATE!" John shouted in Anger. Nagisa slammed his cup onto the metal table. The two metal objects created a powerful sound that rattled John, instantly snapping him out of it.
"Calm down. We need to think rationally."
"Sorry... it's that... I had family fighting in the German Army during WW2." John said as he sat down and put his hands on the table, "They weren't Nazis, but they followed orders nonetheless given by those who were Nazis."
"Well, now we'll be fighting Nazis. And even if we weren't, in war, we have to be careful, and rational. Otherwise, we die." Nagisa said as he stood up. John and Bertrand nodded their heads and began to discuss the plan to liberate the South.
