Fort Alnus, Falmart
2:01 PM, October 5, 2027
It has been a few months since the attack on Ginza Tokyo by the Empire of the special regions. Currently, the JSDF has created a hold in the Alnus Hills where the other side of the 'Gate' is held. As of now, Japan was sent to quell the Empire and to bring the people responsible for the attack to be held accountable and to bring justice to the victims of the attack.
Currently, Japan has been facing criticism from the media due to various actions that were taken. The Gate is currently under the territory of Japan after the attack the whole world had shown interest in the Gate many including the UN sought access to the Gate however this was denied for the purpose of preserving their control over the Gate. They have denied much aid from other nations including the United States when they offer to send their forces during the aftermath. Japan held firm to be self-reliant in its mission in the special regions."
From the Fortress held at the Gate of Alnus General Hazama, the leading officer of the expedition of the Gate currently sat in contemplation on his desk. This should not be out of the ordinary as he had his issues after the result of various recons such as one of the Recon teams returning with a group of refugees without permission after fighting a dragon but it should be expected when doing operations with a world filled with unknown and magical creatures
This time he received a recent report from the Third Recon team towards the west and from what he received it was surprising to many of the officers. Reading from the reports given to him by Lieutenant Yanigada it appeared they had made contact with what they claimed to be American Forces. Although this shouldn't be concerning as the US is a key ally to Japan the government had not given any foreign nations access to the Gate.
However, as further information was given It seemed these American Forces were apparently from a parallel world who are twenty years in the future according to the Team's Lieutenant Itami at first he thought Itami was just joking knowing his hobbies but due to how serious he sounded this made them believe him in a short while. There is a second Gate that was opened far west of the Empire
Plans for making contact with the Americans of the second Gate would be a priority once this reaches the top however he knows that this would cause more than an issue for every government official. Back in their world, Japan had already worked hard to keep the special regions for themselves avoiding aid from many of its allies and many foreign nations who sought retribution for their citizens who were killed resulting to creating criticism in from many foreigners across the world.
Although the General cares little for how politics is put into play in this he is worried about the reaction that they face over this. All that effort made by their government has gone to was as foreign that are not even of this world have set up operations in the regions. He is also worried about how the Americans end up in the regions he knows that their military is not something to belittle as their actions would shake the foundation of the Special Regions.

"Is he dead?"
"Yeah he dead, we got a man down over here"
Roza watched two privates from one of the squads belonging to Sargeant Lambert laugh at the aftermath of the knock-out Japanese who were quickly tended to by two of the VIPs quickly followed by Lieutenant and Gordon who went to help the poor man who both carried him inside the town
As Itami was to the ground An Elf girl took a water canteen from his belt as he pour it onto his head as then Gordon placed his hand to push away the water
"Whoa whoa, don't do that," said Gordon stopping the elf from splashing water from the unconscious soldier unlike what happens most in fiction it is not recommendable to do so when a patient is knocked out cold
"You two ladies stand back for a bit we will handle him." Lieutenant Hayden told both the elf and young Goth who were reluctant but conceded while Gordon who attempted to give Itami a breathing room
The sentries and townspeople gathered around the soldiers who were surrounding their unconscious comrade, "What's happened over here?"
Piña choked up and could not answer as then he could see the elf yelling at the knight but he could understand that she scolded her for opening the door so forcefully when the Japanese lieutenant was on the order side of the Gate but it seemed like she knew that it was her fault for being careless, so she remained silent, an apologetic expression on her face.
As he looked around it was in a better shape than what he would expected for a city that was recently attacked as various barricades and fortifications around the area as he began to notice the guards and the townspeople had gathered around them.
But then he turned towards the VIP who gave a glance towards the weird goth who simply smiled in amusement which creeped him for some reason but his return as then he looked on to now recovered Japanese commanding officer
He grunted in pain as he rubbed his chin while opening his eyes. he realized he was surrounded by both Lieutenant Hayden and Specialist Gordon
"You okay dude" Gordon asked as it seemed he understood what he said
"Yes, I'm fine." He responded to him in English allowing for good communication as he sat up and looked around
his attention first to the door that knocked him out and then back towards the people who were looking at him, and to the mage-like woman who was worried about him then towards Tuka scolding the knight
As Tuka was halfway through her scolding, she seemed to realize that he had gotten up as she went to check on him he pulled up the zipper on his shirt and did up the buttons of his bulletproof vest. After that, he retrieved his helmet from Lelei and tidied his messed-up gear. As he quickly turned his attention to his radio as he spoke to his soldier but after a few minutes he turned to the people and was addressing the people around him. They all looked towards the female knight with a judging look.
After settling the incident that happened at the gate, they were able to bring him the rest of their men inside the city. Later they headed towards the estate where they further discussed inside the city they waited in the main hall to guard while the Lieutenant as well with the Japanese Lieutenant named Itami as well with the VIPs went to discuss with the royalty of this city.
When entering the estate he notices the number of maids which is something to be expected from the noble household. Most of them appeared to be inhuman or demi human as they were called but what was strange is most of these maids rarely had humans in them except the haid maids themselves. As he continued to observe he noticed that they keeping an eye on them which made him feel uneasy both in a cautious and curious manner
He knows that the maids are just either curious or on guard in their presence but he just can't help to feel suspicious if any of them were about to attack his attention as he taps from the side
"Yo sarg you alright?" Beside him was Roza who was checking on him
"Yeah, it's nothing." He responded shrugging off his uneasy feeling
"Really? I was pretty sure you were checking on the maid back there." He pointedly joked
He couldn't help but give a small chuckle as retorted "Not my type Roza, just keep your eyes peeled in case one were to try anything funny."
"Come on sarge I'm just pulling your strings." He said patting him on the shoulder as commented "It's kinda strange to be around a bunch of demi-humans, I would react in excitement on seeing like this but instead I'm thinking they're gonna shred us with their claws or rip our face off or something."
"Mentioning that Gordon looks like he was about to have a heart attack when he saw that Medusa woman" He laughed as Tannen looked to see Gordon speak up
"Hey, Gorgons are usually depicted to turn people stone when looking at them, it's not my fault that I kinda jumped," Roza responded defensively
"Come you look as if a suicide bomber is running at you full speed." He laughs much to the dismay of Gordon
After he stopped he then asked Gordon "Anyways what are your thoughts on this place so far?"
"So far interesting but I do question the reason why most of the servants here are specifically nonhuman." He gestured to the maids on guard
"Maybe the lord could have a fetish for monster girls then either that is because they might have some special abilities." Roza surmised as far as he could think logically
Gordon contemplated at first but he then pointed out "Make sense but I barely seen any men here except that one bulter I saw."
This gave them worried slightly towards why the noble has this many female maids although it seemed appeared to be fine maybe even a happy appearance could be deceiving and these thoughts may lurk in their head
"Hmm, maybe perhaps being a servant is a female-dominated position and it doesn't seem the discriminate against Demi-Humans, and as I said they might have special abilities." He then gestured to the bunny guarding the door "Look at those maids over they seem to be doing a guard job so perhaps they have superior senses to humans."
"Hmm, I don't know but it seems there very okay." Said Gordon looking at the maids as they appeared to be happy in their regular jobs
"Don't worry if something fishy going on over here then a bit of nudge from a gun wouldn't hurt" Roza assured Gordon
"Whatever it is just keep your eyes peeled for a while we wait." Said the Lieutenant as they continued to wait for the meeting to end

After hours of discussion with the Countess and Princess, they had an agreement to protect the city in exchange both the US and Japanese forces would set up further diplomatic negotiations in the city of Italica as well as talk with the Princess on behalf of their empire.
At the top of the wall, most of Charlie's Company had set up positions in the defense of the city currently Lieutenant Hayden and one of the squad set from the top of the wall to provide a firing position along with archers from the wall where most of the city defenders stood as another squad was setup with Japanese forces set up on the southern walls
Most of the team prepared for the recent decision the defend the city as some soldiers kept an eye in the direction of the field feeling uneasy
"Are you this is the whole idea?" Sargeant Tannen asked his Staff Sergeant Howard "I have confidence we can mow down most of the bandits but from what I heard there are about a thousand of those bandits."
"Not really in my opinion although if you're worried about ammunition then I'm sure we have plenty of rounds." The Howard remained assurant to his fellow sergeant "Don't worry I'm pretty we hold long until the reinforcements kick in."
"How long would that even take?" Tannen asked
"About an hour or two"
"The fuck are they taking so long, we already requested those damn reinforcements yesterday."
"They still gotta mobilize the whole company back to camp as well as bringing extra guys that were recently brought from Central Base a few hours ago." Howard Responded explaining the situation "Not to mention the discussions made in actually setting negotiations with a legitimate governance in this region and the recent contact made between us and the Japanese military."
"Let's hope this day's worth of mission would be at least worth us the trouble." Said Tannen slightly annoyed
"From what diplomatic negotiations promised by the princess I'm sure it could at least help us in settling things with her father." Said Staff Sargeant gesturing to the princess who was working with her forces
"Huh" Tannen then wondered "Speaking of which, shouldn't we be worried about being in enemy territory?"
"We haven't been skewed yet so we shouldn't be worried besides we have those weird VIPS." He assured him pointing it out as he continued "We should be more surprised that we didn't get shot at by their ballistas on sight."
Tannen then looked at the city's guards, most of them appeared to be exhausted and some looked to be militias judging by the lack of their equipment and by how they looked fresh off the field
"I wouldn't be worried about them attacking us, judging from how they look most of them barely survive what happened here" He said pointing out the current state of the cities' defenses
"Let's hope they can still keep up long enough for reinforcement to arrive." Said Tannen before they returned and set themselves for the battle while along the walls preparing their team
"How's it going with Aveline lately? He asked as he responded
"Going great only hope we get to end this war soon before March."
"You can still call for leave within that time, I wouldn't miss that day over taking down some Roman wannabees." Tannen encourage Howard
"I know but I kinda wish I could stay longer at home where I could be there with her to care for him." Said Howard as Tannen advised him "But I'm still worried about leaving things unfinished."
"Most of the GLA are dead they are nothing to be worried about for now, they barely have any power to make an attack back home so I'm sure it's best to look for a career close to home rather than be stuck in some goddamn desert for the rest of your life."
"We will see to that" As they continued to prepare
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Hayden accompanied by Gordon and Roza stood by with the knights as they discussed further with the Princes of the battle
South Gate, Italica City, Falmart
2nd Platoon, Charlie Company
4:51 AM, October 5, 2027
It's been 14 hours since they arrived in this city, Sargeant Lambert hadn't expected the sudden change of mission when they first met the Japanese. First believed to be the Japanese Armed Forces to be the one to hold the second gate until further information came to light that the second gate appeared to lead a parallel world although two decades behind.
After reporting back to base their mission quickly changed from simple recon to escort of a diplomatic envoy of a parallel version ally of the US which might lead to open negotiation with a key city of Imperial Territory but then suddenly into the defending said enemy territory. A sudden change of mission approach is not strange for him ever since the last war
As of now he and his squad began to set up position in the southern wall along with the Japanese Third Recon and strangely the VIPs they brought. He did question the Lieutenant although was confused when he responded as three of them would like to assist in the battle
When judging the three one appeared to be an elf wearing what should be considered modern clothing, although he may conclude by the knowledge that she might use a bow for combat she appears to be unarmed.
Another a mage judging by the robe and the wooden staff she held, he might not have seen much magic in the field although he heard a word from other recon units of actual magicians so he could hope that she might bring us into the fight
Lastly, A girl appeared to be in her preteens in a gothic outfit. As far as he put it, it seems this girl is some kind of magic warrior of some sort. She is currently holding a scythe that is twice the size of her height and might be heavy for her if it is not she uses it as if it was a feather. What is interesting about this is what kind of aura the girl emits.
It is said she is a religious figure but it is strange that a girl who looked to be in her preteens to be a priestess not to mention her impossible inhuman strength, he has bad feelings about this, but he decides to ignore it but he can't help but feel spirituality uneased
Turning to his squad they mostly prepared for the battle, they mostly kept their eyes towards the direction of the field although they chatted for a bit while remaining focused on the field in case of an enemy attack
"Furuta! Put the machine gun over here. Azuma, rifle goes there." His attention turned to a Japanese sergeant as he assigned each soldier their designated Area of Responsibility.
Most of the Japanese appeared to prepare themselves as they were mostly armed with their Type 64 rifles and Type 2 vests. It is intriguing for him to see the Japanese Armed Forces a decades ago better known as the former Defense force to see them before they began to remilitarize themselves ever since the rising conflicts seven years ago
He looked behind the walls and saw a large number of citizens carrying farming tools or wooden clubs, waiting uneasily for directions. He watches in pity as he can see that most of them have only recently experienced combat, he knows most of them are not brave enough to fight but these men don't have much choice on the matter
After being lost in thought for a minute he decides to return his focus and he turns back to the rest of his man
As Itami, who was looking through his helmet-mounted night vision gear with Tuka and Lelei as then Rory asked
"Hey Itami, why are you helping the princess of the empire, aren't they your enemy?"
"It's to protect the people of this town." Rory laughed as she heard the answer.
"Do you mean that?" She asked questioning the motives of the man and his troops
"Yes, I do." As he responds Itami continuously struggles to mount his night vision googles on his helmet
"I'll hold your helmet" She offered her assistance to Itami
"Thank you." she held the helmet while he attempted to mount the night vision Google
"Are you interested in why we are here?" He asked the girl
"Emroy is a war god, so He does not condemn killing of people." She openly stated "For that reason alone your motive is essential. Falsehood and Deceit will contaminate a soul"
Itami wanted to take his helmet from Rory and finish working on it, but Rory did not hand it to Itami but made to place it on his head instead.
Itami raised his head to let Rory put his helmet on.
"I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to protect the townspeople."
"Really?"
"Of course. However, we have additional reason" Rory looked at Itami like she was going to bore through him with her eyes.
"I want to convey to the Princess to understand that it's better to get along with us than to fight us." Rory smiled malevolently, as she believed she understood Itami's words.
"Interesting. Very interesting." He watched confusedly as the girl moved away
"Terror" She uttered "To strike complete and utter terror into the very soul of the Princess"
Itami watches in the confusion of the misunderstanding by the Demigodess
"Well, if that's the case, I'd like to help too. It's been a while since I last had the chance to cut loose." She bowed to Itami as she walk away
Itami just stared confusedly at the priestess but quickly snapped out by Sergeant Kuriyabashi appearing beside him
"What was that about" She asked pointing to the cheery goth girl
"I have no idea." He simply responded
"Well, I wanna say that please don't embarrass us further in front of the Americans." As she said it he turned to her with a confusing look
"What you do mean?" He asked
"If you haven't noticed the way you act just make us look like a fool in front of them." She began to yell softly at him seemly trying to be loud "Starting with getting laughed at by knocking yourself out by that door in front of them"
"And uh why does that matter?" He asked not understanding what the sergeant was insinuating
"Don't you see Itami, these guys are real soldiers Itami the people you should impress as a soldier." She gestured towards them as she began her tirade the Lieutenant could do nothing but nervously listen to what she was ranting off "The ones that actually go and fight the field as much as I disagree with the action of the US government you can't help but admire their soldiers and thought they can be."
He could see that the Sergeant couldn't help but express admiration for the US soldiers specifically the ranger. It is not unusual as he knows how obsessed she could be when it comes to the military field as he could nothing but forced to listen to what she said
"Uh-huh"
"Not to mention that these men are the Army Rangers we are talking about, Rangers, An elite troop Lieutenant something I doubt you would understand." Itami was about to speak but was quickly interrupted by the Sergeant's continuous tirade although he could see some of the soldiers eyeing them with a strange and confused look "Don't embarrass us in front of the real deals here."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah I get it don't make yourself look like a fool, got it."
"Hey" Itami turned to see two US Rangers next to him "Itami right"
"Uh yeah, Yoji Itami." He confirmed his identity
"You can understand English" The Second one asked
"Uhm a little."
"Aren't you the guy that got knocked out earlier at the gate?" The First Ranger asked as Itami
"I uh-" He nervously laughed as then suddenly Kubiyarashi jumped into the conversation
"I can speak English too, Sargeant Major Kubiyarashi at your service." Although he was saved from the awkward moment two of the soldiers stared at them confusedly at the sudden barge in the conversation the Sargeant attempted
"Uh cool, Names Leo, this is Jacob" Both the soldiers introduce themselves "Anyways so how did Japs end up here where the hell did the Gate appears at your side."
"Well, the Gate appeared in the middle of Ginza Tokyo when the battle happened, I was there when it happened but luckily they were droved off." Itami told them their side of the events
"Huh, you were when that happened? Jesus, you sure were lucky huh." Said Leo as both acknowledged Itami's side of the story
"How about you guys I heard you are twenty years in the future so what it is like?" Itami asked
"The Gate opened in Kazakhstan when it happened but luckily we managed to respond in time before anything major happened" Jacob explained the events that took place "As for 2027 well let's just say things weren't great when 2020 happened but before that things weren't any different but it went wild I should say.
"What happened?" Itami asked more curious than usual
"Uhm well uh we are not really in the mood to explain the whole thing but maybe next time." Itami could see they were not comfortable which drove his curiosity although Itami didn't push further knowing something bad might have happened judging by how they acted when asked as he switched up the conversation
"Sure so what do you guys do when you're not at work." He asked them about their off-duty activities
"Well we mostly do our own thing but what I do is just play games, watch some show or movies here and there, or read some manga or whatever" The ranger Leo listed down but suddenly Itami's was caught by something he had said
"Hold on, you read manga? Do you also watch anime?" Itami with a sparkle in his eyes in excitement although Kuribayashi seemed to facepalm at the Lieutenant's reaction while the ranger appeared to not be bothered by it
"Yeah, who doesn't these days?" Said Leo as Itami looked on with excitement
"Tell me as an otaku what animes you watch, what other mangas you recommend that released for the past decade, and what can you please show me the latest chapter of my favorite manga?" Itami grabbed onto the ranger much to his dismay as he began to gently push Itami off
"Okay okay, I need you to chill my man." The Private urged the Japanese Lieutenant to calm himself "I can only answer a few at a time."
"Sorry, I'm just a bit excited about this that's all." Itami controlled himself as he scratched the back of his in embarrassment Kubirayashi couldn't bother to slap himself in the face
"Okay if that's the case what anime or manga you liked? If you want to know the latest release of One Piece then boy I got at least decades worth of them." The Ranger seems excited to share a future of a manga although Itami then looks at him questioningly
"Uhm, what is one piece" Itami asked not knowing what manga or anime they were speaking of as both rangers looked at him sternly
"Excuse me?" He asked giving a slightly stern stare which Itami seemed intimidated by as Jacob next to him followed up
"Yeah excuse me what do you mean you don't know one piece"
"I never heard of that manga before." Itami simply responded as both soldiers seemed to be shocked by his response
"Dude, are you really an otaku?" Leo questioned him as Jacob agreed with his fellow ranger's skepticism
"Yeah, it's one of the biggest manga I'm sure you heard or seen before even if you're not a fan."
"Sorry, I've read tons of manga in my life but I never heard of One Piece before what it is about." Said Itami as both the ranger scratched their head confusingly Leo pressed on and asked
"You don't of the manga or anime where the main character wants to be king of pirates and is in search of the 'One Piece'." Itami tried to reminisce from a list of mangas he read but he shook his head as he then responded
"Yeah sorry never heard of that."
"Okay, what manga or anime do you like then." Leo who slightly then asked further the Lieutenant
"Eien no tsuki, Sasayakukage, and Tenkū no musō odessei" Itami listed his favorite anime, and manga however two of the rangers looked at each other as they shook their heads
"Yeah, we never heard of that also."
"Oh yeah" Jacob made a realization "Must be because we are in a parallel world"
"So that does mean we got different mangas and anime over there." Itami then asked "Or better yet something is different over there."
"Alright, now I'm curious." Leon turned to question the Japanese Lieutenant "Itami who is the first president of America?"
"Well uh, George Washington from what I heard."
"Who is the leader of Japan in WW2"
"Hirohito."
"Do you know Disney?"
"Yes"
After this barrage of questions, the private merely scratched his head for his dense inquiry
"Okay, asking those randomly would do little to narrow things down but it seems history isn't so different as expected."
"Then what difference is there in his world?" Jacob wondered
"Okay, I'm confused" Itami could barely think due to now many possibilities of difference between their world
"All of us are LT it's not every day two dudes from different worlds meet." Leo assured Itami as then suggested to his fellow manga reader "Well it would be better if we learn more later but perhaps I can get you some manga if I could even get some."
"Okay, what do have that I would like from your world." Leo then gave a big as he then asked
"Would you mind that I introduce you to Jojos Bizarre Adventures?"

It's almost half an hour as Tannen looks into his watch it's already close to the break to dawn however he has yet to see any of the enemy forces within the time they are the wall, however this all changes as he looks onto the distance field he manages to see a glimpse of movement
He quickly moved close to Hayden "Lieutenant, I see possible movement toward our direction."
"How far are they?" He asked as he quickly raised his rifle
"About a hundred meters from here."
The Lieutenant quickly pulled out his radio "All Station we have eyes of enemy forces from the east."
Before he could warn the Princess' forces he could see the flame arrows begin to rain in the sky he quickly took cover before getting hit as arrows landed in the walls. To which Pina's forces and militias returned fire with their bows. as they attempted to rain back arrows on the bandits.
"Open fire!" Hayden yelled
As the order where given the whole platoon on the wall began to fire at the bandit formation their rounds were able to penetrate their shields and they began to drop to the ground halting their advances
Even with their overwhelming rounds, their advances did not stop as through the sheer amount of bodies they continued to push forward ignoring the hail of bullets being shot towards them some began to place ladders in the least secured area of the wall which began to scale
The Militia attempted to fend off the men at the ladder and managed to reach the top as they were able to kill some defenders before dying in the reach. Howard fired at the climbing bandits however more began to raise the ladder as Howard directed Tannen to the direct
"Down those ladders," Howard ordered Tannen as he returned fired at the bandits climbing up as they fell back to the ground
Tannen quickly aimed at the ladder before firing a grenade round from his Rifle's Grenade Launcher destroying the ladders and downing many of the enemies who were climbing before loading and firing at another quickly stopping them from breaching the wall
"How many of these bastards are there?" Complained Roza while he continued firing rounds from his M249 SAW to enemy advances
"Reloading." Gordon yelled as he reloaded another mag of his rifle
Although Roza remained focused on shredding enemy advances he could not believe that they continued charging no matter how many casualties they were facing as they continued throwing bodies.
None of it matters at the moment as they prioritize the defense of this wall and they would not allow them to pass even if they have fill the ground with their corpse. However his attention was turned as he see another volley of flaming arrows
"Take Cover." He heard the Lieutenant yell as they moved behind the walls and they managed to dodge the arrows

"I don't see any of the bastards here, we gotta help the boys in the East."
"Call in the Lieutenant." Both of the fireteam sergeants requested their Staff Sargeant to send them to the Eastern Wall all the while all of them could hear distant gunshots
As Staff Sargeant Lambert pulled out his radio to establish contact with Lieutenant Hayden
The Apostle, Rory Mercury, was trying to endure it. She hugged herself to endure it. Sweat gushed down her forehead.
"Wh-why?"
"Why aren't they attacking here?" Her arms and legs moved on their own, and she shook like a priestess who was intoxicated as she moaned, the demigoddess twisted her body so everyone could see her bewitching form.
"What going with her?"
"Is she alright?"
Both the US Rangers asked Itami who was slightly worried and confused about Rory He wanted to go over to Rory since he was surprised by her sudden frenzy, but Lelei and Tuka stopped him.
"It's because she's an Apostle." He did not quite understand, as she continued to explain
"She is currently separate from the battlefield so it is not too severe. If she were in the middle of a fight. She would Impulsively slaughter those she considered enemies around her, no one not even herself would be able to stop it." Lelei's explanation just made Itami nervous.

"Shit, they got magic users blocking arrows." Gordon Pointed to what appeared a birdlike woman who used some kind of wind magic to repel arrows
Tannen then pointed his rifle in her direction before firing a grenade round then impacted the ground a few feet away from knocking her back from the explosion. it only killed the bandits around her however she managed to survive the impact as she attempted to move away but below Tannen could shoot her he stopped as he realized his current magazine run out of rounds
Meanwhile Lieutenant continued his fire support until he could his radio crackle
"This is Staff Sargeant Lambert speaking over" He quickly took out his radio and yelled
"Hearing you loud and clear what's the situation? over."
"Lieutenant there are spotting of no enemy forces of south gate." Staff Sergeant Lamber reported as he then said "We are quickly moving forces and reinforcing toward your position"
"Are you sure, there are no enemies in the south" The Lieutenant asks for assurance from the Staff Sergeant
"Affirmative, as far as we observe no sighting of enemies within our position" He guaranteed the Lieutenant as he gave his response
"Roger that Staff Sargeant you are all clear to move to our position"
"Roger that heading there over and out." The transmission stops as the Lieutenant returns his focus back to the battle as he continuously fires bullets at the crowd of bandits on the ground however he is interrupted by yelling beside him
"Shit They manage to scale to another part of the wall." Tannen pointed to the distance where bandits managed to scale past the wall as they began to slice the guards at the top
"Shit, Kaden get some of your team on that side of the wall now" He ordered one of his nearby squad leaders
"Fireteam Bravo move and assist friendly military north of our position." The Staff Sargeant ordered as half of his squad split to fend off a breached area
"Shit they broke through the Gate," Howard yelled as he looked to the gate where bandits began to flock into the city although blocking the militia who were ready
"Fire Below them" Hayden then ordered as they began shooting toward the enemy army
South Gate, Italica City, Falmart
Third Recon
5:16 AM, October 6, 2007
While Itami, the third Recon, and The squad of US Rangers began to tense up at the empty supposed battlefield in the south gate, they could hear the distance firing weapons in the east.
"Come on Lieutenant we gotta go there, most of those Rangers at East are having all the fun." Complained the frustrated Sargeant as she started to charge towards the Gate
Before he responded he was suddenly interrupted by Rory who continuously moaned as her physical contorted She held her breath and shook her hair. Her body bent backward like a bow. She grabbed her head, on the verge of tears, and her feet stamped to the ground. Her feverish gasping and twisted expression looked like she had been cursed, like she was a puppet shuddering on her strings, her body twitching and her arms flailing.
"Alright men get up and pick up your gear and pack into the humvees and move to eas-" As the US staff Sergeant was about to give an order their attention was turned to Rory as some watched uncomfortably, some confused, and others slightly disgusted of the inappropriate action of the moment
"What the fuck is she doing?" A Sargeant from one of the US Ranger Squads's fireteam asked slightly annoyed as some of the US ignored and began to prepare while the Lieutenant who could not answer she then turned to Lelei
"Can she stop that?" He asked slightly embarrassed by the situation
"No"
"The soul of the fallen warriors on the battlefield passed through her body to be drawn to Emroy's side." She explained to Itami the situation with Rory" As a Demi-Goddess and Apostle the effects on her is like an intoxicant"
"She feels much if she gave in. But she can't"
"So dead people's souls are an Aphrodisiac" Itami muttered all the while in the conversation leaving the US sargeant unanswered not understanding Latin as Rory continued with her flailing
"No, no, no! I'll go crazy if this goes on!"
"Can somebody do anything about this?" The same annoyed US Sergeant as he moved on back to his team as they proceeded to the east Gate Itami looked to see Tuka covering her blushing face, while Lelei's was a picture of calm indifference.
Itami then sighed and turned to Kuribayashi
"Kuribayashi!" She stepped forward.
"Sorry about this, but could you accompany Rory? Having our guys around might cause problems. Not to mention most of the Rangers seem to be uncomfortable about this."
"You and Tomita will head to the east gate. Sargeant Major Kuwabara, I'll leave the rest to you. Rory, we're going! Just hang on a bit more!"
But Rory could not bear it any further as she jumped down from the city wall and darted toward the east gate where the battle could be heard from here while Itami and the others followed her.
From Far West of the direction, squadrons of helicopters consisting of Ch 47 Chinooks and The RAH 66 Commanche raced through the sky toward Italica on the brink of dawn
"How long until we reach there Captain." Colonel Burton asked
"ETA we will be there around 10 minutes to the AO," Said Captain Park
"Reports from Charlie Two they have engaged with enemy forces from the east gate with the assistance of the Japanese Recond Team." He briefed the colonel on the situation happening in the city "As of now, they remained to hold the line until we shortly arrived"
Colonel nodded as he looked at the Rangers in the helicopter as they began to prepare themselves ready in both excitement and determination for the battle
"Any word from the Japanese Reinforcements?" The Captain next to him asked
"I will be contacting their Colonel shortly."
East Gate, Italica City, Falmart
2nd Platoon, Charlie Company
5:28 AM, October 6, 2027
As bodies continued to be downed by the Charlie Platoon most of them remained on top of the wall as they rained bullets towards the bandits on the ground while the Militia continued to hold the line. Some bandits who attempted to climb the stairs determined to kill them were halted by one of their Automated Riflemen shredding them with hail of machinegun fire as the more bodies piled up the stairs the slower they got into climbing
Hayden looked towards the army of bandits it appeared their formation had gotten smaller although it was still large and many in comparison to the amount of troops within the city. The fighting went on for almost half an hour but there seemed to be no stopping the advance
The only thing that keeps them from arms reaching them is the line of militia indirectly protecting them as well as the ammunition spent on the enemy. As far as they struggled it seems they already spent half of their ammunition on them with most of the extra with the humvees held by the squad in the south gate who are moving towards their position
"Give up already." He heard one of the frustrated privates scream directly at the bandits as he fired at them
The frustration could be seen by his troops although they are not exhausted as of yet they appear to be growing tired of the seemingly endless advances. As he reached to load another magazine he could see in the distance as helicopters began to approach. This was also noticed by one of the soldiers as he could see their faces relieved by the arrival of air support and reinforcements
As they could see the close arrival of the Commanche and Chinook their attention was turned as they could hear a faint music that grows ever louder. Towards South they could see another group of helicopters moving in as they waited and anticipated the expected outcome.
"Alright, I can see some of your boys down over there." Lieutenant Burton pointed the East Gate from a distance as he then radioed "Akula 1, Akula 2, provides air cover toward the 2nd Platoon on the Ground."
"Yes sir, We're going in." Responded came from Akula 1 as both Commanche accelerated toward the eastern wall
Colonel Burton then directed the pilot to stop near the buildings a few distances from the battlefield "Drop up off near those buildings"
The Chinooks then halted as it however at tops towards clear grounds as ropes were released towards the Ground. The Colonel as well as the teams began to rappel down to the ground as they reached the floor they began to move toward the direction of the battle
Meanwhile, as bandits continued to clash with the militia they quickly they heard noises in the sky as the Commanche began to approach and he began contacting the 2nd Platoon below
"This Akula 1 to Charlie Two speaking over"
"Heard you loud and clear Akula 1 this is Lieutenant Hayden speaking requesting air cover towards the east of our position." A response came from Lieutenant Hayden
"Roger that, making a sweep" Both of the Commanche stop to shadow the forces below them as some of the bandits stare in awe at the air cavalry
Within that gunner of Commanche pointed its cannon toward the bandits as it began firing toward them at the ground the pilot followed it up by firing missiles toward larger and pack groups
Most of the bandits could barely react as the explosion hit them on the ground with the combined use of the cannon shredded many of their men. Meanwhile at another area came Japanese Air support they followed up with their own air cover and attack forces to the ground
Meanwhile, with the team below Gordon chuckled at the display
"Ride of the Valkyrie, Seriously nice use of music I should say."
"Must be the sound of hell to the Imperials." Said Roza while reloading his machine gun "Come on there are still bandits over ther-"
Suddenly in a glimpse there the suddenly many bandits were sliced and the impact could be felt with a shockwave of dust shaped around the bandits when cleared there stood a Gothic girl with an axe held as bandits stood in fear of the girl much to their shock and confusion
"What the fuck!" Both Roza and Gordon who were once aiming at the bandits lower their weapons in confusion
East Gate, Italica City, Falmart
Third Recon
5:31 AM, October 6, 2007
"Rory went charging ahead on her own!" Said Itami who behind the wall of defense of the militia while on the other side is where Rory began her frenzy
Itami jumped off the truck and ordered, "Fix bayonets provide her with backup"
Kuribayashi and Tomita fixed their bayonets as well while American forces in the Humvees began to exit while some stayed and used the Browning machine gun to provide support to the militia
However, as Itami was about to plan what to do next suddenly her Sargeant began to charge past the barricade Itami watched in surprise
"Wha"
Itami could barely utter a word of it as Tomita muttered, "That trigger-happy idiot"
"Out of the way!" Both began to move past as they locked their sights on the enemy they advanced a few steps, and fired.
The American forces were confused and shocked by their sudden charge in front of barricades used as cover as Sargeant Lambert repeatedly yelled "Cease Fire, Cease Fire, Cease Fire."
They stopped short in the hope of avoiding friendly fire much to the annoyance of the Americans who were spraying bullets towards the enemy watching the Japanese charging forward as proceeded with a more precise firing at the enemy
"Move forward." Itami yelled Several bandits fell amidst sprays of bullets.
Ahead of them was Rory, wielding her halberd in a dance of death. She swung, spun, cleaved her foe's shield apart, and then knocked him down. Bandits tried to press her with their offensive but Rory simply took a step back and swung her halberd from top to bottom. She cut them apart, man and shield in one blow. Her face was spattered in crimson pearls from the bloody rain, as she cleaved the wind, cleaved through flesh, cleaved through steel.
At this moment, Kuribayashi arrived. She stabbed the man trying to ambush Rory in the back. She used the recoil of firing her weapon to help extract her bayonet, then slashed down at the foe in front of her as the momentum of melee combat continued until after parrying a sword swing with her rifle and slashing the bandit, as then bipod of rifle fell off as Kuribayashi stared in thought
"Crap the armorer will be pissed"
East Gate, Italica City, Falmart
2nd Platoon, Charlie Company
5:37 AM, October 6, 2027
"What the hell those Japs are doing!" Roza yelled as he carefully shot the enemies who were charging the Goth Warrior and the Japanese Soldier
A moment ago they were providing support to the Goth girl who was slicing enemy forces near her then they stopped in confusion as a female Japanese soldier rushed towards the enemy and instead of using her rifle to shoot the enemy she went melee combat on them
"Who fuckings knows, provide support to the Leeroy Jenkins." Tannen ordered as Roza returned his focus back to battle
They began shooting the enemies who were charging at the soldier while leaving the Goth warrior to deal with the enemy knowing she could handle herself. Continues to clear the enemies off the girl but while doing so her suicidal charge almost gets her shot At the same time Tannen shoots the bandit that she was charging leaving a bullet wheezing past her head
"Watch where you shooting." She yelled at them in perfect English much to their confusion while Tannen was in annoyance and Gordon who was confused
"What the hell is wrong with her" Gordon muttered as Tannen just responded with a confused and annoyed look displaying no answer to him as he waved to continue firing at the enemy
In doing so suddenly a few blocks of the building came out more US Rangers who were the reinforces began to assist the scene as they began firing at the enemy
"Fuck yeah." Gordon yelled but Roza watched in awe as he began to tap him in repeatedly on the shoulder
"What?" He pointed to the one leading the group there was Colonel Burton
"Shit, it's the Colonel." Gordon laughs maniacally "Hell yeah now this is what you call reinforcements"
They continue to hold off the onslaught of enemies as the Italica Guard, Militia, US Rangers, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces they begin to push back the bandits towards the Gate they breached but as they continue to arrogantly push
"Come on push those bastards back." Roza cheered on the forces below the wall as he began to see the enemies bellow with bullets
Although the people of Italica may not understand his language they could from his body actions of his intended warcry while the US Forces could feel the boost of morale as the combined forces continued with their push. Suddenly they stopped as when the dust cleared came an AH-1 attack helicopter by the JSDF as then they began to rain down toward the enemies below
Before long, the Gatling gun stopped. As when the UH-1J hovered over a clear area Ropes dangled down, and JSDF troopers descended them. With swift movements and organized effort, they began to move in and as then they combined forces with Colonel Burton's unit as they continued to clear the area
As more JSDF forces arrived they began to scatter in the city at the near end of the battle as Colonel Kengun stood amidst this operation
"Colonel Kengun the remaining enemy forces are scattered and retreated, we are searching for survivors at the moment." A JSDF soldier reported to their colonel
"Understood, continue with those searches and assist the American forces when you can" The Colonel ordered
"Yes Sir."
As he left before Japanese Colonel Kengun could continue with his role on the battlefield he was then approached by the US Army's Colonel Burton
"It seems your arrival is timely Colonel Kengun."
"Likewise Colonel Burton" Both commanding officers shook hands in respect for one another "We always appreciate the assistance of you Americans as expected from our allies"
"Our meetings may be unexpected to all of us within the region, but we are always here to provide support.' Their short conversation was interrupted as their attention was turned to a citizen who approached them
"Excuse might we ask you o great warriors, where your army come from?"
"We are from the JSDF" Said Colonel Kengun as he then gestured to Colonel Burton "This man here and his forces are from the US Army"
"Jayesesfeef"
"Uesarmy"
The civilian muttered in awe towards the saving foreign army but then it interrupted as Colonel Burton turned back to Kengun
"As much as I am honored for this greeting colonel, our men required support at the east Gate." Kengun noded agreed turning in their separate direction he then turned to his men
"Alright, all of you move to the east gate and provide support to the Militia, the Ranger, and our own."
"Yes Sir." Said the JSDF as then following along the rangers they proceeded to move to the east Gate
"Finally it's over, is it?" Muttered Gordon as he and Roza leaned to the sides of the wall with their weapons lowered then he pulled out a water flask before taking a drink
It had been minutes since the aftermath of the battle he then caught sight of it as the helicopter flew past them as they headed in the direction they came from. It appeared they called back from the completed mission
"Seems so, looks like the Commanche are heading back to camp." Roza then stretched his body as he stood up and turned to Gordon "Come on I'm pretty sure the Lieutenant is waiting for us"
While going down the stairs they tried to move over the dead bodies piled up as militia began to move them out to allow a clear path and while at that they passed over the road on this side of the barricade as they pass over fields of corpse most casualties coming from the bandits. As far as they are concerned most casualties on their side are the Guards and Militia however it seems most noncombatants were unharmed except from tray arrows that were shot from the outside of the wall
"This almost reminds me back at Akmola a year ago" Roza reminisce
"Well, we are still missing the destroyed or scorched buildings and Billions if not Trillions of Dollars worth of damages." Gordon Pointed out as they continued to move through the field of dead bodies
Suddenly a hand grabbed onto Roza's legs he was startled at what happened before shaking it off as the hand released him
"The Fuck!" They look to see a bandit barely alive as he struggles for life.
It appeared he was critically wounded from various slash wounds and gunshots around his body as both Roza and Gordon inspected the person who could barely take a breath as he lay on his pool of blood
"Oh, looks like we got a barely live one." Roza was about to raise his rifle towards the wounded bandit but was quickly stopped by Gordon blocking his arm
"Wait, remember we can't do that anymore." Gordon reminded Roza as he then recollected
"Oh yeah" He lowered his rifle as he looked at Gordon "But shouldn't do something about this guy?"
"Yeah gotta get some guys here." He turned to one of the privates "Hey you are you a medic?"
"Yes Sir."
"Good patch this guy up will you." He ordered as the private pointing it to the man on the ground proceeded with the barely living renegade as they moved on
They saw the Platoon as they grouped up near their humvees and after arriving which the Lieutenant began talking to them while they listened for further orders
Formal Manor, Italica City, Falmart
7:04 AM, October 6, 2027
Later Lieutenant Hayden, Captain Park, and Colonel Burton are now back at Manor with next do them where JSDF's First Lieutenant Itami with next to are two commanding officers from another unit as well as the accompanied VIPs. In front of them sat the Princess on a throne next to Italica's leading lady as they wait for her next word.
But then one of her knights spoke up "We would like possession over the prisoners."
The mage called Lelei translated Hamilton's words to Col. Kengun. as he nodded from a rigid posture.
"We understand as we need about five prisoners to take for questioning same may go for the US's Colonel." Said Kengun as Burton agreed to his statement
"Although we don't want to interfere with local customs, but we want you to treat the prisoners humanely." Kengun explained to the princess as she looked at him confused
"They don't quite understand the term 'humanely'." She asked as the mage explained in her own words, and said,
"Like you would treat a friend, relative, or acquaintance." However, Hamilton frowned at that.
"Would our friends and relatives attack peaceful towns and villages, to murder and plunder?" The knight shouted angrily which is very understandable to the lieutenant although it is also understandable why the JSDF would ask them due to the confine with their international law
He looked to see Princess Piña who calmed the knight
"Alright, we will refrain from treating them harshly after all you're army has a remarkable victory on your part." Pina who maintained a calm expression as her knight stopped her shouting while the mage translated to the Japanese Colonel
"We can understand that." He stated
"Ah, Your Highness, we have to clear to that but there are still concerns to be made." She said as the princess turned to her questioningly
"Forgive me, what do mean Hamilton?"
"As for confirmation of current condition."
Hamilton handed and read the conditions by the JSDF
'First, the JSDF shall choose three to five captives from here and take them back. These captives and all rights pertaining to them shall belong to the JSDF. In addition, House Formal promises not to mistreat the captives.
Second, as thanks for the relief efforts of the JSDF, House Formal and Imperial Princess Piña Co Lada will house and guarantee the safety of envoys from Japan. In addition, the number of envoys, living expenses, and so on will be agreed upon later, but House Formal and the Princess will pay the first 100 suwanis to the JSDF with no strings attached.
Third, the JSDF and the refugees staying at Alnus will not be made to pay tolls, income tax, currency exchange surcharges, and various other taxes when trading in the domain of House Formal.
Fourth, once the treaty goes into effect, the JSDF as led by Col. Kengun may not touch the wealth, holdings, or personnel of House Formal (with the exception of any captives from the first point), and the citizens and must leave the domain of House Formal immediately. However, small groups and the refugees living at Alnus will be guaranteed free passage in the domain of House Formal for the purposes of communicating with House Formal.
Fifth, the duration of this treaty is one year. If both parties do not object, it will automatically renew itself.
Signed by
Countess Myui Formal
Imperial Princess Piña Co Lada
On 3rd day of Mist Month, 687 IR'
After reading the contents of the parchment, Hamilton handed it to Piña. As she nodded to the request
"Here is the treaty requested by the US Soldiers." She then handed another parchment however a bit more worried
'First, the UN and Coalition Forces shall choose the amount of captives taken from here and take them back. These captives and all rights pertaining to them shall belong to the Coalition.
Second, thanks to the relief efforts of the UN, House Formal and Imperial Princess Piña Co Lada will house and guarantee the safety of envoys from Japan. In addition, the number of envoys, living expenses, and so on will be agreed upon later.
Third, the Coalition forces shall occupy the city militarily however they would not interfere with local and domestic affairs of the governance unless customs were to violate human rights under UN law when necessary. However, the Coalition Forces are exempted from paying tolls, income tax, currency exchange surcharges, and various other taxes when trading in the domain of House Formal.
Fourth, once the treaty goes into effect, Italica would be considered as a neutral entity in the war between the Coalition and the Empire. The Coalition Forces will remain to occupy Italica City to ensure neutrality until any future treaties or negotiations are to be made between the two parties. Alnus will be guaranteed safe passage for the Coalition Forces that will station at the City of Italica
Fifth, the duration of this treaty remained until the end of the war further negotiations were to be made. If both parties do not object, it will automatically renew itself.
Signed by
Countess Myui Formal
Imperial Princess Piña Co Lada
On 3rd day of Mist Month, 687 IR'
It seems that after reading this the Princess looked worried as he turned to the US Colonel
"As Much as I too agree with this treaty Colonel I question the Fourth statement, which is to conquer Alnus Hills"
"I understand your concerns princess however as you read this is merely an occupation and it does not lead to annexation" Said Colonel as he elaborated "As much as we would avoid much conflict Princess however Italica still remains as a territory of the empire. As of now, you are most likely an enemy to which then our forces would control the territories"
"So is this your scheme." The knight named Hamilton yelled pointing to the colonel accusingly "So you only merely help us just to take control of the city for yourselves"
"As I have clearly stated Italica is still a territory of the empire however we can consider its neutrality separate from the empires if you consider its treaty. You are still seen as an enemy, the UN forces will have soldiers occupying however we will interfere with any local governance until further negotiation can be made by an ambassador, as I am merely a soldier Princess."
"So if you will be clear we are only having soldiers occupy to ensure the city will be seen as neutral under the occupation until it may be reconsidered as the stated treaty until negotiations are to be made between the House Formal and the UN Envoy"
"Understandable." The Princess merely gave in but he then questioned "But I would like to ask who are the UN or Coalition you speak off?"
"The UN or United Nations is an organization composed of almost all the nations of our world purposes are to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation, and serve as a center for harmonizing the actions of nations." This in turn shocked the Princess
"You mean all countries in your world are at war with us?" She asked very much in shock
"Mostly yes, Princes." This made the princess wide-eye in response it is clear why she would react in this way but then the Colonel continued to explain
"Do not worry the UN would only provide a diplomatic role as representatives for every nation of our world in the negotiation of this treaty" He attempted to assure the Princess
"However the Coalition is the one in charge of military operations which is composed of Three nations in the Regions under the jurisdiction of our ally nation Kazakhstan which your Empire Invaded" Although not intended the Colonel might have scared the Princess as he could see her sweating bullets although the Colonel continued speaking
"I understand your concern however you can still this war if you please." The colonel Clarify "As I have heard you indeed the Princess of the Empire Correct."
The Princess looked to be sweating off the mentioning of her status although the Colonel continued "Then if you wish to avoid further conflict it is my recommendation that we are to open any diplomacy as soon."
"Although we would wish peace princess our world like the empire to face repercussions for their actions and the need justice for your empire to face." The Colonel explained, "But even if your empire were to face punishment it is suggested that you sue for peace in order to stop this conflict before any more destruction would come to your empire, is that agreeable?"
"Yes, very much I am willing to accept your proposal." The Princess reluctantly accepted the treaty
"I would report this back to my General and once they send an envoy here you could speak to him when you are to open talks as you will be representing the Empire in our eyes as of now." The Colonel mentioned
"I see, then terms are to be made." She merely submitted to the treaty given
The treaty was signed by both parties although the the Princess and the Lady of House Formal seemed to accept terms given by the JSDF although they were slightly reluctant of the treaty to be sign by the UN or the Coalition.
Italica City, Falmart
9:15 AM, October 6, 2027
"So what we are gonna have to stay here for another day?" Asked Gordon
"Come on it's only another day until the occupation force arrives tomorrow." Said Roza much to the annoyance of Gordon
"So we are just spend another day setting them comfy tents, and beddings for their arrival." He gave a sarcastic response
"We gotta fortify and set this place up for now but hey at least we get an extra break once this is done." Said Roza
"Hopefully get a bonus." This only gains a chuckle from the corporal
"Those things are once in a blue moon buddy, although I doubt it all would worth much with all the trouble we already got ourselves over the years" He told the Specialist as continued "God bless the United States for being able to afford super laser while still barely able to give the average grunt an extra cent on his payroll."
"Well as I mentioned before at least being in this place gave me an appreciation in my decision of joining this military." Continued Roza as he then asked Gordon"So are you putting away all your regrets on this?"
"Nah, fuck that, not worth all that bullshit back home." He argued as he then said "Well, just hope don't really get worse here. This war is a whole lot easier than I anticipated."
"Yeah right, I don't expect any fighting here to end soon even If we dismantle the empire." Roza stated as he decided to move topic while looking towards soldiers "Speaking of the empire what do you think is gonna happen next since the princess is reasonable enough to not get mowed by a 50 cal."
"I'm pretty sure what happens today would show a good enough reason to start pulling out the ink and quill." Said Gordon gaining a chuckle from Roza
"She does that all she likes but I'm not sure she might not have all the power as her father the emperor." Roza explained "The only thing she might do is go back to Daddy and tell him about the flying death machines."
"If her dad would try to take her seriously. I'm pretty with the shit we did, there would be some leftovers from recent battles to report back to the kingdom however I don't see and I don't see no white flag nor a peace treaty." Said Gordon
"So either the emperor is stupidly overconfident or moronically suicidal, maybe even both." Roza stated as he then said, "I'm sure we will get to face this strategic genius soon enough once we are closer to the Capital."
"Might as well enjoy spreading 'democracy and freedom' Let's hope we don't stay here long to fight insurgence." Gordon said sarcastically as Roza followed
"God bless America and Uncle Sam" Said Roza as his chuckle stopped as he gave a look of suspicion "But something here feels off"
"What is it?" Gordon asked turning to him questioningly
"I don't this whole thing with the empire It just felt too easy." Said Roza who seemed to be slightly unsure
"Well, guns beat swords obviously." Said Gordon attempting to shrug off his uncertainty
"Yeah, I get that but there are two portals that connect three separate worlds. Don't you find it a bit odd?" Roza pointed out as Gordon then thought it put
"I guess so."
"The real question is why? It is not normal for this occurrence to happen unless something made it happen." Said Roza
"So you're telling me this is all some kind of canon event or some shit." Gordon asked now a bit skeptical as Roza continued
"In a way, I'm just sounding like a madman right now but, I just got a bad feeling about this"
Somewhere in Falmart
Echoes could be heard all over the town. Outside the hall stood hundreds of gathered people armed with torches, pitchforks, and any weapons of which the regular peasantry could arm themselves. The adversaries they are up against are the town's guard who attempt to bring order in this unrest however to no avail while a man who stands behind who appears to be a nobility tries to appease the crowd
All this could be seen from a window on the second floor of a building in which the man looked in anticipation over the outcrying people. Accompanied him in the room where two other men appeared to man while another was a demi-human as he is armed with a blade held in his hand
As continued to watch his attention looked towards a figure who stood above the rest of the crowd yelling as he stood firm while pointing his hand accusingly towards the noble behind the guards. His attention then turned towards the top of the town he saw a figure over the roof and from a silhouette he could see he was armed with a bow and arrow.
Seeing this he slowly turned behind towards his companions and said "Let's move"
The two behind them stood as the man took the lead as they exited the building. As they got out they moved through the crowd away from the area as they later are distance outside the mob. As the man continued to yell suddenly an arrow shot him deep into his neck as his body fell to the crowd as they screamed in shock. The person who stood beside their leader however someone in the crowd yelled out
"MURDERER!" He yelled towards the guards
This word was quickly believed by the crowd who were yet in the stage of shock and anger at the death of their leader as they began to charge towards the town hall. Although the guards attempted to halt the advancing crowd. However, a member of the crowd then threw a bottle towards the guards who attempted to form a wall of defense and was suddenly engulfed in flames killing them as the crowd brave enough punched through the line of defense quickly as they charged towards the hall.
As this happened he looked to see the perpetrator of the attack disappear from the roof of the town hall as the men were pleased with the result first man turned to his demi-human companion
"It is time you free your brethren, we will leave and return with our forces once the chaos may die down." As he said this without a word he quickly left the area and went in the shadows between the alleyway
Two men move away from the area while leaving various guards quickly pass them as they proceed to charge towards the town hall to assist although it would be too late by then took horses from a nearby stable before leaving
Outside the town they could see smoke begin to form in the sky as the second man turned to the first "The uprising seems to be according to plan however are you sure we to trust in him convincing the town to join us."
"If it goes according to the 'Prophets' plan then yes." The first figure responded
"If they haven't killed him yet in the dungeons of that town."
"I doubt they would easily kill him." He said as they continued to move in silence the second figure turned back and said
"I still don't trust the man, he seems too unpredictable."
"Neither do I but he has shown uses to the general he possesses knowledge and power and is the reason why we would soon rise again, and the ones of which the Japanese were from." The first stated "Although I questioned the magician's motives."
"It is obvious he has his own set of goals, his assistance has proven to help us set seeds of our influence and power over the extended and outer reaches of the empire." He continued as he explained "It is best that we are now to make use of our influence as of yet with empire now weakened"
"Even so how are we to deal with the American, and Chinese Forces?" The second figure asked, "The Japanese are of no threat but the two superpowers appeared to have strengthened their reach so far."
"Their presence alone would already cause disturbance in the world but their presence would prove to be a problem for the Japanese." He responded
"Yes, with Japanese control over control of the Gate, this would cause problems with its relations with its allies and enemies due to their ever so greed in its control. Soon there would be tensions it would not only cause conflict between each other but amongst themselves." Both agreed on the likely outcome
"Then are we to take advantage of this?" He asked as he slowly turned to him with a slightly smug
"We already have."
A/N: Writing fight scenes is a pain, not sure if I did well but I managed to pull through as I'm still an amateur at this.

ThatGuyYouMet:
I already planning for IRL element Integration. I read that story before it was fun reading it as I can hardly find much good Command and Conquer crossfic such as Operation Forging Steel, but he has returned with a new chapter. Such a masterpiece in my opinion
1. China is still already deploying its PLA regulars however in the Special Regions the Red Guard made up most of the manpower as they need guys to secure large amounts of area.
2. It is already stated in extended lore that the infantry never really get a replacement rifle as due to budget they gotta stick with the M16s and M4A1. Its kinda hard to get a new rifle issued when you have to spend for space lasers
3. Well it would be scary if terrorist groups manage to go global but not to mention tou can tell how dangerous they are when they even got two former enemies to go shake hands in agreement to beat the shit out of them
A Reader:
Well originally I was supposed to solely US Forces going through the Gate however I find it boring as an actual crossover and interactive between two fictions is more interesting than the usual 'insert fiction' gate opened and their armies fighting. Divergence of Canon will take long though as it would take place later
RandomSonOfDorn:
Perhaps. I already gave you my response
yeahboi 84:
Well lore is based on ROTR during the General's and Zero Hour time but I doubt the EU(ECA) or the Russian Federation would have any power at this current state.
I already gave my response that it would be more interesting if two fictions were to meet rather than the usual 'Insert Fiction' nation vs empire.
