" That Pierce, trying to set up his ' Swamp' Tent next to OUR shower one, so he can 'peek'!", growled Gertrude. " Well, Potter caught it, and 'corrected' it.",
said Minna. They heard 'others' approach. A now 'skirtless' and 'stockingless' Grace Stewart with PinaCo Lada, Sei Takanashi, Aria Misono, and
Elizebeth Ashley. The three of four, were married to Salutanian 'Royality' or ' Nobility'. They took off their footwear, to join the trio.
" Grace, how's your unit?", asked Minna. " Doing good, for the most part. Virginia joined, Miyafuji, Karibuchi, and Christina, on their
' recon ' mission.", replied Grace. " Hey! They're coming back.", said Hato. Gertrude looked up..., " What kind of helmet is that?", asked Gertrude,
of Christina's 'helmet'.
The Senior Officers and 'ancient' military heads, examine the Witches, 'take backs'. " Where did you, get this helmet?", asked Potter.
" Sports store.", replied Christina. " I doubt any 'sports shop' would sell it.", said Winchester. " Major, I said 'store'. A VERY big building.
Academy Sports and Outsoors. With all kinds of 'sport' and 'workout' equipment...,", said Christina. Gertrude, was ready to run out.
" Gertrude, stay.", said Minna. Princess Pina, and some of the other girls 'gushed', over the 'Mandalorian 'Grogu' Doll'. " Precious.",
they said. " He's ' Franz'.", said Christina. A 'roar' caught their attention, and.., " Good, the construction unit had come. Let's take down the camp,
and 'travel' a spell.", said Potter.
* Two 'structures' in two different worlds opened. Distinctive armies comefrom them, in a wooded grove in our world, and a 'joint' mission was
decided. *
A 'new' fortress, was constructed, and everyone was moving in. "General." ' Barkhorn, always reliable.' , thought Potter. " In the same.",
he replied. " General, 'Flatscreen' delivered, and set up.", said Chrisitna. " My compliments to Pokryshkin and Yeager.", he said. " Actually, I set the 'screen' up.", said
Christina. " My 'apologies', and fine job.", said Potter. " Also, going to have a ' media box' installed soon.", said Christina. " Never mind, goes over my head.",
said Potter.
2. Of tech
" I think we should force every citizen to hand over their 'gadgets'.", said Burns. " And, start a 'war' with the people here?", said Hawkeye.
"That's NOT our job." " In 'other' words, SHUT UP, FERRETT FACE!", said Potter. " The 'gaming handhelds' are nice.", said Jo. " 'Fads', the 'game things ',
Flatscreen, all 'fads'.", said Burns. " You cannot see a 'fad' unless it, come up to you, and kick your rear.", said Fairborne." And, Burns, I DO outrank you."
" That's Colonel Fairborne, for you.", said Potter.
Potter ended his cell phone call. ' Handy gadget, got to thank Barkhorn.', he thought. Radar walked in. " General, Barkhorn and Lawrence just left, said about,
going South."
Later
"Got 'everything'. The 'costumes' just come. We are ready. ", said Christina.
The hanger, was filled with 'music' from a small Bluetooth Speaker. Christina in Jedi Robes, walked in first, 'saber' ignited. Myuri Lawrence come out later,
armed with her own. Slash, perry, slash,perry. They moved with such fluidity the 'impromptu' audience was impressed. ' Duel Of The Fates ' ended, with
'blades' at their necks. " 'CUT!' ", said Francesca from a shadowed corner. They stood before Potter's desk. " Light Saber Dueling Competition?", asked Potter.
" Yep.", said Christina. " It was a 'Short' we had to film." They won.
Christina plugged in the newest edition to their base. " Done and done. " She switched it on. " Eghad. Are we 'supposed' to play with 'this'?", asked
Winchester of the 1 up game cabinet. The introduction of 'Street Fighter' played out. Hawkeye and Winchester had 'lighteneing' spark between
them and rushed to the padded stools.
3. 'Other ' Cultures
" Eghad. My eyes.", said Winchester. " What's wrong, can't see past Nipa, Gundulla, or Lynette and Inori, for 'reasons'?", asked Hawkeye. " First, 'superheroes', then,
'space bounty hunters', but...,
Some of the younger Witches step in wearing 'wrestling' shirts and title belts.
(Break it down, DX theme )
Yoshika and Christina walk in. " IF NOT DOWN WITH ' WITCHES', WE GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA..., WWWWIIIITTTTCCCCHHHH IT! ", they said, followed by,

In the dining hall
"The arcades, was 'neat'. ", said Hato. "The 'dealers' had so much, 'cool' stuff.", said Christina. " CHRIS! , barely shouted Gertrude. " Captain, it's an
opinion.", said Potter. "Talking about, the convention?", asked Erica. " Yeah, we seen 'Anime ' Trailers, panels, music performances.", said Christina.
" The 'Miku' hologram was fantastic.", said Virginia. " 'Miku' ?", asked Hawkeye. " Miku Hasune.", said the Blonde Brittanian.
Everyone settled to watch, 'UFC', for a bit.
After next 'Con'
The Witches comeback, walking into The Lounge. " Where is Winchester?", asked Potter. Then, in 'Warhammer Marine Armor', taking off the helmet..,
" My word, 'it' has been 'fun'.", said Winchester. Then, Gertrude and Sakamoto walked in, as Wan Lieu Mei. " Gentlemen, 'Twin Apexes' of beauty.",
said Pierce.
It was pre - late eve, as Christina entered wearing, a 'law enforcement' uniform. ' Stream deck, on. Microphone good..,' " 1 Shield 27.", said Christina.
Potter, Senior Staff, and 'other' army leaders, were walking around hearing.., " Disarmed the bomb?" " On it, 'Chris Chris'." " Wounded a suspect, on
'stairwell'." " Called, Ambulance?" " Hai." They walked in, seeing the youngers,at laptops, and flatscreen, a 'grade'. " Should had been an S .", said
Christina. Next day, she 'streamed' it. It was a 'hit'.
Potter stepped into the Lounge, seeing everyone watching, 'Red Cat Ramen'. " ' Cute.' ", he thought.
4. The Third
Sensing what was coming, Christina navigated the halls, with near 'lightening' speed. Seeing Pierce, and his friends.., " Excuse me!", said Christina, doing a
'wall ran' past them. " Either it was, Barkhorn or 'The Flash'.", said 'Hawkeye' Pierce. She hopped into her strikers,and flown to the third 'Gate'.
On the other side.., ' This is, 'Fuso'. ' , she thought.
"Once Barkhorn comes back, she's p...," " Promoted! I agree Burns.", said Potter. " And if I may General. I wouldn't mind 'extra' of my rank.", said Fairbourne.
" You heard him, Burns. We're getting TWO Colonels, with the last same name.", said Potter. " General, someone to see you.", said Radar, standing aside,
to allow a young , attractive, Asian woman in, in a 'delivery uniform' and Yellow cap with an oval, Yellow, patch with a Black cat and kitten in its' mouth.
" Which is, 'Sherman Potter?'", said asked. " Behind the desk.", said Potter. " Deliveries, arranged by, Takanashi and Misono familes, for Chrisitna Barkhorn.",
said the woman. " What did she send over, a 'car'?", asked Burns. " No, 'Ferret Face'.", replied the woman. Potter signed the paper.
The Lounge was filled with all kinds of 'items' from clothes to 'statues'. " My gosh, a 'flea market'.", said Potter.
" No, sir. Just me arranging what I had found in Japan.", said Chrisitna. " While I flown around, I found this sad Akida, and hovered to pet it. The owner was
Miss Sei's Mom, and I told her, she was with us. And, she was married. I even shown the 'photo' on my phone. " , said Christina. "And, she called, my family.",
said Aira. "Yes.", said Christina. "What about your, 'fashionable' jacket?", asked Potter. " A 'Star Wars' Finn jacket. There was a 'shop' in Takeshita Street...,"
" Watch your language!", said Burns. " 'Takeshita', is a 'shopping' area with ROWS of stores.", said Sakamoto. " Well, I wouldn't know, Lieutenant Commander,
but, it was having this 'Clearance' of these, and I bought one. And, the store owners, givienme the rest, for everyone.", said Chrisitna.
Potter, seen some of the other try them on. " I should switch out my Luftwaffe Jacket, for this.", said Erica. " Don't think it, Hartmann.",said Gertrude.
" My not bad, for 'faux leather'.", said Winchester. " Well, you did say, your Grandmother's Birthday was coming, and I sent her one.", said Chrisitna.
The 'color' drained from Winchester's Face.
Boston,Mass. Liberion
"My word, Mrs. Winchester. That is one 'fabulous' jacket." " I thank you, Senator. I don't know if it's the right 'occasion', but I get compliment,
after compliment.", said the family head.
* ' Chrisitna, at her desk, eyes opened, with 'Gold' Amazon Card, has fainted, sitting up. *
Present Time, Witches Base
" Troops, due to time difference, we'll leave for Japan, this evening.", said Potter.
5. Journey to Japan
* " This is Nanashi Kuribayshi, live in Ginza...," * * " Something's coming...,"* * " Get a shot, get a shot!", yelled the reporter.
Potter and everyone else crossed. The Misono and Takanashi families, has their tearful, happiness filled reunion, and the Akida,
'Merlin' ran past everyone, right to Burns, and..., " Right into the ' Saturday Night Special'.", said Hawkeye.
After, some 'embarrassing' healing from Yoshika, everyone toured Tokyo. They made thier way, to Takeshita Street...,
" Too, 'flashy'.", said Potter, of some 'clothing' stores in the area. Christina shown the 'Cosplay' store, she gotten the 'jacket' there.
They walked to a.., " ' Fender'?", asked Inori Shibuya, of the 'place'. She walked in, took a 'standard' electric guitar from a display,
plugged it into a 'amplifier', adjusted the sound outout and started playing. She played a song, from the 'Luminous' Witch Tour, and
those in the Lounge/Shop, loved it.
Night was coming, and the 'group' went to the Manga Hotel in Akihabara , and went back, next day.
6. Other Interested
Word spread beyond Sedaria and Salutaria. 'Others' started to cross and 'explore'. A 'creature', a cross between turnip and dolphin opens a window, in
Christina's shared quarters with a cute Redheaded fairy. They flown past 'Franz', and heard footsteps approach. They hid behind, Christina's game
handheld. A Platinum Blonde boy opened the door, but to be 'yanked' back, by a Blonde woman in 'armor' of a 'design' leaving little to imagination.
" Bell, don't enter a 'girl's' room, without 'permission'." " Sorry, Ais.", said Bell. A small, 'animal' girl found.., " Goblin child doll."
" DON'T TOUCH FRANZ!" Christina rushed in, grabbed the animal girl, and punched her, across the jaw, out into the corridor. Potter, heard the
noise. " What's the ruckus?" Then, sees the boy and other woman come out, but sees the fairy and 'other', chased by, Christina. " Secure those three, I'm
after those two.", said Christina. She hopped into her Strikers, and given chase.
Potter questioned the 'three'. " We heard 'rumors' of this 'world' from 'Orario', and to 'Numazu Island'. ", said Bell.
"Colt, you look as if, you know what this boy is saying.", said Potter. " Well, I been there, in my youth. And, met a 'beautiful' female Demon Lord. ", said Colt.
Hawkeye nearly 'stunbled'. " Did you say, ' Beautiful Female Demon Lord ' ?" "PIERCE!", warned Potter. " How far is this 'island'?", Potter asked Colt.
" By your travel ' standards', about a 'month's ' travel from mainland to back.", replied Colt. " CHRIS!", cried out Gertrude. "Calm yourself, Barkhorn. She
will be fine.", said Potter.
Numazu Isle
Christina landed,and 'groaned'. ' Crap, must had overextended on magic.' She packed her Strikers as a 'pack' and moved about the area.
She spotted an Inn. She was going to the registry desk.., " Miss, please remove you shoes.", the girl behind the desk. Chrisitna did as told.
"Excuse me. I need a room. ",said Chrisitna. " I was pursuing a 'fairy' and 'something' else, but lost visuals." " I'm Chika. We got some guests, and we can
help with a free room, and meals." " Danke.", said Christina.
Base
" Stay where you are. We're staying at the Formal Mansion, so you can meet us there.", said Potter, on the phone speaking to Christina.
Chika Inn, Numazu
There was a knock on Christina's Room Door. On the other side, was a Blonde Boy. " Miss Barkhorn, come with me. "
Base
Colt found Grace soon enough. He stepped up behind her, and taken a knee. " Lady Grace." Her shoulders 'slumped', she hated being called that.
"Colt Formal. You know I..," She turned, and seen his 'position'. " Grace Stewart, will you be, MY 'Lady Formal'?", he asked. She knelt, kissed...,
" Let's wait, for Christina to meet up, with us.", she said. " Fair enough.", he said.
Numazu Island
" Sorry, about 'Ruby'. Lady Mari, was curious about your 'people' and 'mission' so, she sent Pellepie and my sister to your base.", said a monocle
wearing girl, behind a desk. " It's fine, Miss Dia. But, where is, 'Miss Mari'?", asked Christina. " Warshimner Island. It is not very far. But, I
recommend you 'rest' until tomorrow. ", said Dia. " Jawhol.", replied Chrisitna.
She was walking back to the Inn, and.., " General, I got a location of the 'other' I'm going to talk to, the owner of a 'Warshiner Island.'"
" Well, good to hear, but, Gertrude and Erica, are heading to you, and there is a wedding here in 'Italica' we ALL need to attend.", said Potter.
"Understood.", said Christina. She ended the call, and seen the 'others' fly in.
Chika Inn
" I'm glad, you were not hurt. And, you weredoing your duty.", said Gertrude. " Happy to hear it.", said Christina. " Oh, I packed your ' Jedi ' gear.", said Erica,
with Blue 'pack' in hand. "Didn't pack 'the jacket', thought you wouldn't appreciate it 'messed' up." " Thanks Erica.", replied Christina.
Next morning
The trio landed at Warshimner Island. Christina placed her pack in front of her. " Here's 'something' I learned in, Japan. * crosses arms, makes 'downward' motion*
'HENSHIN'!" An 'opaque bubble' surrounded Chrisitna, and the two outside heard zippers undone,and the energy bubble went down, to one
Chrisitna 'Chris' Barkhorn, in Jedi Robe, Sabers, and 'tactical belt'. "Okay, I think, she's 'ready'.", said Erica. Then..., " Pellepie, I presume?", asked Christina.
The 'being' had a tiny flag, and had the others, follow.
They arrive at some, front doors. Pellepie opened one door, and the trio stepped in. " Must be a 'Miyazaki' fan.", said Christina. " I know 'not'
what you speak." They seen the speaker. Dressed in Purple, and Black heels, blonde, and with horns. " ' Supermodel '. " , lowly said Christina.
" I am, Mari. Apologies, for the 'chaos' my, 'servant' and friend, may had caused." " It's fine. Nothing, 'harmed'.", said Christina. " In fact, we need to go to..,"
" I was 'aware' of Count Formal's soon to be 'wedding'. I shall accompany you.", said Mari. Christina, placed down the pack.
" I need to do this. Excuse me.", said Christina. " Power Down!" The same 'sequence' happened, and it left Christina, only in her uniform.
" ' Shiny'!", said Mari.
Formal Mansion
The trio landed and hopped out of their Strikers, and put back on their footwear. " Colonel Barkhorn, front and center.", ordered Potter.
" It is a priviledge and honor to award you, The Iron Cross First Class." After, getting the medal, they attended the wedding.
7. Salutania
They left Sedaria, to allow the newest married couple to have their, at home ' honeymoon' . They went to.., " We'll head to Salutania, then Orario.", said Potter.
Hawke Mansion
" General, got the 'Flatscreen' set up, but no popcorn. Request, to get some. " , said Christina. " Ask Miss Sei or whoever about it.", said Potter.
" 'Popcorn'? I think the local pubs or taverns, might have it.", said Sei. Christina grabbed her helmet and hopped onto her 'duo' basket bike.
She rode, into the 'town'. She slowly pedaled, looking about. She sees a wood sign of, ' mug grapes ' .
She stepped into the tavern, and sat, at the bar. A barkeep, resembling a certain 'scifi OPs Chief' walked up to her. " What's a nice ' lass' like you,
doing here?" " Do you have, 'popcorn'?", asked Christina. " Oh, that 'new' snacking food, from the other world. I think I may have some dried corn
to spare.", he replied. He returned later, with a small sack. Everyone, in the mansion settled, to watch TV.
The next morning, Christina went through her Tai Chi/ Jedi training, and rode to thank Reily, the Tavern owner for the 'Popcorn'.
She sees the sky darkening, knowing a storm was coming, found a place, and ducked under the doorway.
A Blonde man in glasses, directed Christina inside, thinking her 'truant'. Instead, she was welcomed as an 'exchange student', giving her
explanation, of being there. At lunch, she was joined by twin, female Brown hair and eyed students.
" I'm Mia, my sister Mika." "Christina Barkhorn." " Where did you, the 'strange jacket' ?" " The belt sack ?" " 'Weaponry'?", they asked.
" All I ordered from 'Amazon', an 'ordering' service.", replied Christina.
She was invited for a 'sleepover', andgiven an introduction of 'modern culture' by use of, Flatscreen monitor, media box, mouse, keyboard, and
Ogre Power Battery.
The next morning had come, and Christina dropped off her belongings from the sleepover, and went to the school. Erhart Hawke greeted her.
"Barkhorn, my Office." Chrisitna felt, she was going to be 'scolded'.
* While she was away, Erhart seen Gertrude, on a Granite Bench, 'complaining' about Erica. He sat by her, and told her, he can relate about Yuri Drewes.
He joked, Yuri and Erica were made for each other. But, mde them realize 'THEY' were made for one another..., *
"Chrisitna, what I needed to ask is 'personal'. I wish your permission, to MARRY your sister, Gertrude.", said Erhart. Christina 'smiled'.
A week later, Erhart married Gertrude.
