A city on fire was the scene from a far, with a swarm like ants pouring through the gate.

South part of the city 1:55

The Jsdf sweep methodically with B company covering leading forward, only Haggard and Sweetwater are missing.

Itami: "I didn't expect the situation to get so dire. The poor city."

Kuwahara: "Such is war that's ..."

A door slams open with Haggard holding a pot of gold coins and a some locked chest. The JSDF jump out of surprise.

Haggard: "Found me self a pot a gold hehe."

Kuribayashi: "Where did you get that ? That's Monstrous."

Haggard: "Ah killed a lepricon and second lepricons are evil, so I probably saved someone the trouble."

Kuribayashi: You did WHAT ?!

Sweetwater walks out behind them with two belts with Vials with no markings and different colors.

Sweetwater: "Come on looting is an old wartime tradition, and also he didn't kill anyone, he found it under a bed."

Redford: "Sweetwater I understand the gold and Haggard but what the hell are you dragging out"

Sweetwater: " I think we walked in a potions shop and I thought hey, maybe it's like in fantasy and these things explode with different elements."

Redford:" If you come close to me with those things, I will shoot you."

Kuribayashi:" Hey, aren't you going to punish them for breaking the rules of combat or something "

Redford:" Oh, shut up and keep walking. (walking away) Not doing this shit again "

Haggard: "Guess I win little missy."

Itami: " These guys are all trouble we should go back to HQ and report them before they do something even worst"

Alnus-Italica halfway point 2:05

10 old Vietnam era helicopters and 2 attack helicopters are going at reasonable speeds to Italica. The F22s sent to intercept are flying low and are on the Guard frequency for communications.

Pilot 1: "I picked up a bunch of Bogeys front."

Pilot 2: "Copy that."

The JSDF suddenly get passed by the F22s and are shuck

JSDF soldiers:" What the Fuck" " Who the hell is that"

JSDF sgt: ""Contact HQ!"

The radio then picks up a voice as the F22s are climbing and doing a sharp turn the wind lines on their wings making them shine bright.

Pilot 1 :" Bogeys, Identify yourself, or we will fire ."

JSDF sgt:" ...ugh tell him."

JSDF pilot :" this is the JSDF air assault division, we are on a rescue mission to Italica.

Pilot 1 : " Italica is under United States protection you are trespassing over United States airspace, turn around, or you will be shot down."

JSDF sgt: " Do as he says and contact HQ we have a problem."

After clicking save and the human verification deleted what I wrote from here, I am leaving it at 501 words because I don't have time to write it and the time periods between writing and continuing is too long to keep it coherent. Around summer, both the stories will continue as before, hopefully.

6 month hiatus.
