-Venture to Japan-
Night time, 13th November, 2018
OIA special Agent Klark Hudson
Unknown location, somewhere inside the Hakone Forest
The drive was pretty much eventless, almost everyone was sleeping by now, besides Hudson. He stayed awake, in the same vehicle as Komakado. The two stayed silent the whole drive until Hudson broke the silence.
"You know, something isn't adding up here. How did you find us?", he asked with a pointed look at the Public security agent. Komakado was taken aback at the sudden accusation.
"What do you mean Agent Hudson?", Retorted Komakado with his own glare pointed at Hudson.
"Well, isn't it quite suspicious that you guys pull up just as we get ourselves in that Ambush?".
"Drones exist, agent", said Komakado.
"In that case, i think your air defense strategy, what ever it is right now is pretty much bullshit. Because, how can it be, that these guys who set the ambush could launch an surveillance big enough that i could stay up there for hours and hours?", asked Hudson, jabbing a finger into the Japanese's chest, "How can it be that these guys could have set an ambush in the middle of your country and just a few hours from your Capital away", Hudson continued, "As far as i know, Y'all are working together to not only kill us but also to kidnap the Princesses and their advisers". Komakado glared at Hudson, but that glare quickly turned into a shocked expression as Hudson pulled his Pit Viper faster than anything Komakado has ever seen before and pointed it at the Driver of the vehicle.
"Don't you dare reach for that gun agent or the next thing your driver will see is his brain matter on the windshield", threatened Hudson.
With Trigger:
Wow... and still she found the courage to sleep on me. Despite me practically yelling at her she still used me as a pillow, like the good old days.
I wonder what the guys back on base are doing. I bet their heaving the fun of their lives back there while we're fighting for our lives in a complete other world. Damn... i don't like the ground at all, what wouldn't i give right now to sit back into a cockpit and fight UAVs back over at the space elevator. At least i had the feeling of being in control.
"Nick". i looked down and saw that Cossette was looking up at me with tired eyes.
"Go to Sleep again", i told her while stroking her blonde hair. She loved that.
"No, listen. Do you still love me?", I wanted so desperately to say yes and kiss her right then and there but I couldn't bring it over me. That thought of the Erusian was constantly lingering in my head, as he revealed her secret.
"Just go back to sleep, you'll need it".
It pained me seeing her face fall as she closed her eyes again. To add salt to the wound, i saw a tear rolling down her cheek.
Suddenly the car held, and the two Japanese Agents sitting up front got out. As i wanted to wake up Cossette i felt her shifting as she stood up by herself and also left the car.
I released a heavy sigh and thought about what happened in the last couple of days. The venture over here, the kidnapping by the Rose knights, Rico revealing Cossette's and my secret to the whole convoy, the Erusain commando who revealed her secret, the Ambush and now this mess here. God i hate this place...
"Alright everyone Listen up. This is our stay for tonight, take a shower, eat and what ever the fuck y'all do before sleeping. Just don't leave the building, we have no idea who or what's lingering around here", Explained Mitchell.
"All Rus... sorry, Erusians go there, My guys go in here and the OIA guys get in over there. You two", Mitchell pointed at Trigger and Cossette, "share a room since... you know why. Alright move it ladies".
The coalition split up into their respective units as they went into their rooms. Komakado, Mitchell, Hudson and stayed outside for just little longer to discuss the patrol pattern and timing of each patrol. Trigger stayed back and waited until they parted so he could have a word with Hudson, alone.
"Alright i like it. Let's do it like that then", said Hudson as he parted from the group to go to the remaining three OIA agents.
Suddenly he felt an hand pull him into a room, the door closed and the lights went on. The next thing he knew is that he was staring down a barrel of an Berreta 9mm pistol.
"Listen here Agent, With all due respect i don't appreciate the way you're talking to the Erusian Delegation or to the Japanese Guys. You need to change this. Now".
"Oh God Nick, you're so naive", he laughed out.
"What's so funny agent?", the Pilot asked.
"Why do you think i'm doing this huh? Do you really think i'm playing with milions of lives on all three worlds without even knowing what i'm doing? God Nickolas, I'm keeping Osea out of another war".
"Oh yeah? And how's that? By being a dick in front of a international broadcasted diet hearing? By being a dick in front of our new allies, which, i might add, we just had a major war against. You really want me to believe that everything you did was to keep Osea out of another war? Because from my perspective it looks like you're steering us right into one. When i met you, i thought your the coolheaded Agent who will get us out of any situation with just talking like a professional. You proved me wrong on so many occasions".
Hudson looked to the ground and sighed, "Listen, Nick. With that stunt i pulled, back in the Diet hearing I practically made these guys kill themselves. I just threatened their major superpower and the Japs are way to stubborn to give anyone but themselves access to that Gate, and these "Americans" want to have access by all means necessary. Now you just need to wait until they exterminate each other. That's one front. The other one is... Erusia".
"What do you mean by that?", Trigger asked with venom in his voice. "Are you telling me that-", Trigger began but Hudson cut him off.
"The only reason she's still alive is the fact that you're screwing her". Trigger stopped for a moment, his mouth agape.
"Wake the fuck up Nick, Osea is using you to gain political leverage over Erusia". There was no reply so Hudson continued, "They know everything, they knew it from the beginning Nickolas, they're using you to manipulate her. They tasked me with monitoring her, if she does anything that brings a risk to your relationship. Why the hell do you think they send me these Special forces guys? For reinforcements? Oh no... they're a killing squad. They have the order to kill the Rusis and leave their bodies here".
Trigger gaped at the statement and slowly lowered his pistol. Hudson slowly stood up and walked to the door, "Remember Nick, this here is one big Shit Show. It always was and it always will be". With that the agent left the room and went back to the other OIA agents.
Trigger stood there for a good minute or two longer just to comprehend what just happened. He of course knew that the Osean government wasn't... shall i say the best of the best, especially after they pulled the stunt with the 444th on him.
"Fuck... i should get back, she's probably wondering where i am", he said to himself before reholstering his pistol and leaving the room, making his way back into his own room.
-Operation Sadera-
Falmart Calendar, 1291
Captain Pete Erholtz, Knocker
Fort Harling
The Navy pilot lingered around the airbase and inspected his F/A-18 Super hornet for any damages. While inspecting he thought about the past when suddenly he noticed the tail fin of one of the A-10 they saw a day ago.
These three strikes... he saw them way to often in the late months of the Lighthouse war. This guy turned out of nowhere and started to turn the tide of the war. No one knew where he came from or who he really was, just that he was squadron leader of Strider squadron.
Although there where some reports of a Pilot in some penal unit taking on squadrons and squadrons of drones and coming out on top.
Later it was revealed that these Penal guys would become part of the OADF. Many didn't like it but they where in dire need for Pilots at that time. And like everyone predicted, these penal guys turned on the Osean Air force.
Knocker looked at the A-10 closely and noticed the plane being in peek conditions even though it was on a sortie. A woman with short dark hair and leg brace walked up to the attack plane.
"Hey lady", Knocker called out. The woman quirked an eyebrow, "Lady? Do i look this old to you?", she asked with a pointed look.
Knocker was taken aback and stuttered over his words, "Uhh no but... you know..".
"Relax", laughed Avril, "I'm just fucking with you. What's up?".
Knocker did not look amused but kept on asking anyways. "What squadron is this thing part of and why the hell is it in this good of an condition?".
Avril looked insulted and mockingly held a hand over her heart. "Of course i'm the reason it's in this condition dumbass". Knocker didn't know what to think of this woman.
"It's part of the Thunder Squadron, the first one which got transferred here". Finally, Knocker got what he wanted. He nodded thankfully and turned his attention back to the A-10, he looked for any names or emblems or anything that could reveal the identity of the Pilot.
Then he saw it... below the three scratches he saw the orange Wolf with the revolver in its snout and the banner with the Name Trigger written on it. Knocker's eyes widened in shock as memories of the Harling incident flooded his head. Pictures of the young man drinking beer with Clown, brownie and him in that one bar at fort Grays Island.
A/N:
All stations be advised, the writer has an Idea. I say again, the writer has an idea
Thanks Mr. Announcer i got it from here. Alright guys listen up. I decided that i need more side characters and i thought about it and came to the conclusion that i can just include you guys into the story.
If you want to be a part of it just give me a name, a quick character description and the role you want to be in. I need additional pilots and a ground crew chief.
And this now is a more serious announcement. I got a, who is considered being a close friend of mine trying to scam me. I knew this guy for well over a year now and he helped me in my fanfictions a lot. First I didn't want to share it with y'all abut then i figured that y'all need a explanation if the Chapters come out with less quality and or length. Also the waiting time might get longer. Sorry guys.
