OIA, Agent Klark Hudson

Itallica

"Preston?!", says Hudson as he sees the beaten up Pilot with a Chain around his neck and his hands bound.

"Hey guys, how's it going?", asked Trigger like nothing's ever happened.

"What the fuck happened to you?!", asked Kelly out of the corner of the room. The bruised and Beaten Trigger didn't reply but rather focused his sight on the red headed knight who was apparently having a mental breakdown. "What's up with her", he asked.

"Were are the others?", Asked Hudson, completely ignoring Piña. The Knights on the other hand, had worried expressions plastered all over their Faces.

"Is everything okay your highness", asked the Blonde knight in the front while holding Trigger's Chain.

"Release him", muttered Piña. The Rose knights couldn't understand her from their position in the Throne room.

"Wha-", the Blonde began but Piña was faster in replying, "By the Gods, RELEASE HIM!", she screeched. Kelly jumped a little at the sudden outburst.

The chain around Trigger's neck was taken off but he was still held on his knees by the Rose Order members. "Do you want to do it?". Another female knight with silver hair asked as she appeared from the crowd. Piña's eyes widened and she stared apologetically at Hudson.

"I'm so sorry Agent. She didn't mean it like that", said Piña, clasping her hands together in a begging motion.

The Confusion growing in between the Rose order knights as they watched the ordeal with bewilderment. "With release him, i ment to let go of the man!", Ordered Piña, her frustration growing inside her along side with her paranoia of what would happen if Osea would retaliate.

Trigger was released and thrown across the room and landed before Piña's feet. She let out another scream of fear while almost tearing her hair out of her head. Hamilton, immediately jumped into overdrive and started to tend to the Pilot. Kelly also ran up to him to help him up.

"Princess Piña, I expect an explanation after this is dealt with", said Hudson in a stern tone. He looked over to the Count, the latter immediately knowing what to do, he ordered Kaine and the Demi-Human maids to come to help Trigger.

Some time while the Demi-Human maids where tending to Trigger, he noticed that the one called Persia was twitching with her ears. "I hear someone coming", she said to Kaine. The latter looked over to Hudson who just chuckled. "Let them have their fun", he said to Kaine. She didn't understand the reference but still went along with it

-Preventing a War-

Falmart Calendar, 1291

Captain John Mitchell, Basilisk

Itallica, Palace, Throne Chamber

"I swear to god if i get my hands on that blonde bitch, i'll chop her head off". The leading Erusian Special operations operative gave Cossette a confused look as she ranted about the last incident. "And why did he have to sacrifice his ass for that other guy for gods sake. No offense by the way".

"None taken", said Itami as he listened intently to Cossette's Rant. "If i may ask, are you two... uh together?", He said, making Cossette jump a meter into the air. "NO!". The reply was very quick. It was really suspicious but Itami of course had no idea why she'd acting like that.

"There it is! Throne chamber", Chimed in Mitchell any pointed to a set of double wooden doors at the end of the hallway. "Princess you need to stay behind. This shit's gonna blow, quite literally".

Two Erusian SpecOps members stayed behind with Cossette as the rest went up to the door.

Mitchell placed his hand at the thick wooden door and looked it up and down. "I think some C-4 and this thing's toast". Mitchell turned to Motorola and gave her a quick nod.

"C-4? What about knocking?", called Itami. His voice displaying panic.

Mitchell only scoffed. "But the Count. Wouldn't you break the treaty?". Itami tried his best to convince Mitchell from his plans but it was in vain.

"The treaty has been broken the moment these knights laid a hand on my Pilot".

While they had their conversation, Motorola pulled out three coiled up white strips from his back pack and unrolled them. These where C-4 strips which were made to stick to a surface like a door and blow it out. Motorola placed three of them on the doors.

"Charges rigged and armed sir", said Motorola with a clacker in his hands. Mitchell gave him a an approving nod and turned one last time to the japanese soldiers. "Do you guys have Flash bangs?". The japs shook their heads. Mitchell sighed and turned again to the doors. "When the doors are blown out, we throw in flash bangs and rush in. No shooting around. Just knock them out and then cuff them. We hit them fast, we hit them hard".

The strangereal Soldiers nodded in acknowledgment and lined up at the walls left and right in the hallway. Motorola disengaged the safety and glanced up one last time. "Breaching!". Motorola squeezed the Clacker and a electronic signal was sent to the C-4 strips, seconds later it blew up. Elmar and Nans threw in two flash bangs followed quickly by two OIA operatives.

"Go Go Go!", ordered Mitchell as he ran into the Chamber. Inside, disoriented knights as they held their ears or eyes.

Mitchell was the first one to enter the chamber. First he scanned the whole room for any active threats, when he found none he went up to the first knight and gave him a good punch to the face. The knight fell to the ground, still disoriented and now at the brink of passing out. Mitchell put some zip ties on his hands and stood up. He watched as the other Oseans and Erusians did the same.

The little Myui was heard crying on the throne room, most likely getting the living daylights scared out of her from the C-4 and then the flashbangs.

When Piña came back to her senses she couldn't believe her eyes. All her knights laid on the ground with either a broken nose or a bruise somewhere on their faces. All of them had their hands tied to their backs as the Osean Soldiers who helped protect Itallica earlier stood over them and aimed their magical staffs at them.

Mitchell gave her a stern glare as their gazes met. He turned on his heels and got himself Itami to translate for him.

"Lieutenant, help me here quickly", he said and pulled the man to his side in front of Piña.

"Translate word for word", said Mitchell and then turned to Piña, "Alright Princess Cocktail, listen up. Why in the name of Fuck, did your knights attack us?". Itami translated each word into Latin.

"They didn't get the last message", said Piña, fear dripping from her voice as she stared into Mitchell's infuriated eyes.

Suddenly Princess Cossette materialized behind Mitchell, two Erusian Commandos tailing her closely. "I swear to god, if they as much as touched my Advisor the wrong way, i'll have you all Killed". Itami hesitated but one glare from Cossette made him suddenly very talkative.

Piña watched in admiration and fear as she found out that the blonde in front of her also was a Princess. The difference though, Cossette was a leading a Country while Piña was the third Heir to the throne.

"I can assure you that the maids of this palace are taking good care of your man", said Piña, trying her best to not let the fear win.

Mitchell's eyes widened as he heard what Itami translated. He had a suspicion about the two but didn't think to deep into it. But this just threw the whole situation into a new light for him.

Cossette blushed deeply as Itami translated. "What the fuck did you tell her?!", she demanded. The Japanese soldier had a sheepish grin on his face. "I said Advisor. Not man or boyfriend for gods sake. Grow up". With that Cossette left the trio to their own again.

"You really should stop doing this. These Rusi spec ops are are real pain in the ass". Itami's face turned into a horrified one as one of the Erusians made the "I'm watching you" gesture with his two fingers. Before Itami could apprehend what just happened, Mitchell was talking again to Piña.

"Just so you know. Our peace treaty is history from this point on". Mitchell turned on his heels walked off to his soldiers.

Piña had a horrified expression on her face as she hears Itami's Translation. While she was throwing a fit Itami closed in on her and handed her a sheet of paper. "Sign this, and we'll have our own treaty", he whispered as Piña stowed the treaty beneath her armor.

"I will see to it that Sadera will get a decent Air defense against their planes". Piña nodded.

Hudson walked into the chamber and immediately laid his eyes on Piña and Itami, from his view point it looked like the two where making out. Hudson being Hudson didn't buy it and wanted to investigate when suddenly Cossette jumped in front of him with an angry face expression. The two Erusian soldiers completely worn out from following her through practically the whole palace.

"Where the hell is that idiot? If he isn't dead, i'm gonna kill him". Hudson took a good look at Itami and Piña before deciding that it could wait.

Hudson rallied up the soldiers and led them to the room where Trigger was held. Princess Cossette was the first one to burst through the doors. Her face became red of Anger as she saw Delilah, one of the Demi-Human maids tending to her unofficial boyfriend.

Kelly, sensing something was up immediately jumped into action as Cossette approached the bed with her angered expression. He picked her off the ground and pulled to the side, "No! No no, you ain't doing that. Attack these girls and your dead. They're trained killers, believe it or not".

Reluctantly, Cossette nodded and Kelly let go of her arms. She was still not only angry but also jealous.

After all the soldiers went into Trigger's room, Hudson went out and back into the Throne chamber. First thing he saw was Colt soothing his daughter, she was still crying from everything what happened.

All the knights where still laying on the ground, some of them just waking up again.

He shifted his gaze to Piña and saw her holding a sheet of paper. When she noticed him she desperately tried to hide the paper, it was in vain as Hudson approached her with a terrifyingly calm manner.

"What is that Princess?". He eyed her up and down. She was shaking visibly from fear and stress. She'd seen the aftermath of Hudson's interrogations.

"What's what?", she said with a forced laugh at the end.

"Piña...", Hudson sighed, "Don't make it harder than it already is. What's on that paper?". He asked again, still keeping his calm.

"What paper? hehe". Hudson grew annoyed and pulled his pistol.

"I'm asking you one last time. What's that paper and i don't give a fuck if you're a princess or any other political figure, so don't even try to come up with that bullshit". Piña was on the brink of crying as she stared down the barrel of the pistol.

Hudson sighed again as Piña didn't move, "I'm gonna count to three. On three i'm gonna put a bullet through your brain if i don't have that paper in my hands".

"One...", Piña was frozen in fear. She didn't know what to do.

"Two...", She didn't know what was written on the paper since she only had read the first couple of letters from the title. This could put her treaty to japan in jeopardy.

"Thr-". "Here!". The smarter part of her brain kicked in and outstretched the paper to Hudson who was squeezing the Trigger already half way.

He smiled and took the paper off her, still keeping the pistol aimed at her, though not at her head anymore. Before she noticed, Hudson had read the whole paper in one swift glance and handed it back to her. "Now was that so hard?", he asked with a friendly smile. Piña didn't know what to think of that man. He could be so sweet and caring, then all of a sudden he's a psychopath. Although she was great full for the smile, since it indicated hat he didn't find anything incriminating on this paper..

"Now Princess, let's talk business. Why did your knights attack and torture my Soldier? And especially why did where they so hostile towards my men?". Hudson didn't reholster the pistol but also didn't aim it at Piña anymore... for now.

Piña was to scared to answer, she stared at the deadly object in Hudson's hands. The latter following her gaze found the reason why she didn't speak so he allowed himself some fun.

"Don't be scared Princess", he sais as he reholstered his gun. Piña visibly relaxed her shoulders. "Death will come quick once the bullet has passed your skull". Hudson had a smirk on his face and turned to the blonde knight still laying on the ground.

Bozes glared at the man approaching her while trying her best to het free from the zip ties around her hands.

He knelt down to be somewhat on an eye level with her and stared into her hazel brown eyes. "Hello young woman, what's your name?".

Bozes glared at the Agent, "How dare you talk down to me like i'm some peasant. I'm a noble so have some respect", she hissed. Hudson wasn't affected at all. In fact, he looked at Piña and laughed, "Can you believe this?", he said in between his laughter. Piña on the other hand was terrified for her best friends life.

"Bozes, just-", Piña began but was cut off by Hudson. "I'm talking to her. Shut it", he said, all signs of his light mood disappearing.

"How dare you talk to your Princess like that?! You'll be crucified!", she yelled and tried even harder to get out of these zip ties.

Hudson sighed in frustration. "Why do they always have to make things so hard?", he said to no one in particular as he Pulled his fire arm. Bozes wasn't really affected by the odd object in Hudson's hands. To her it looked like a oddly shaped hammer.

"I'm gonna ask you only one more time before i get angry", he said and disengaged the safety of his Pit Viper. "What is your name?". His voice was much lower and sounded more threatening now, but Bozes still didn't care. In her view, Hudson wasn't a threat as a man with a sword or a bow would be. She'd soon learn that quite the opposite was true.

Her response was simply spitting on his boots. Hudson massaged his temples and grimaced. "Remember, you did this", he said and stood on his feet. He walked past the group of knights and picked a brown haired boy, he wasn't looking older than 17.

"No! Brother!", Bozes yelled in shock as she saw Hudson picking off her younger brother. Hudson looked the boy up and down and smirked, "Brother, eh? Jackpot". He carried him in front of Bozes andkicked his legs, making the young boy kneel in front of his sister. His face showed pure terror as he felt the cold steel of Hudson's fire arm pressed firmlyagainst his head.

"I'm gonna count to three. If i don't get what i want, i'll paint your beautiful blonde hair red with his brain matter".

Bozes understood the depth of the situation as she stared into the green eyes of her brother.

"One...", Hudson began to count. Piña felt the urge to do something but getting herself killed wouldn't bring anyone far.

"Two...". Bozes was debating with herself. On one side was her heart which displayed the love for her family and on the other was her head which displayed the duty to the Empire.

"Three". A shot fell. Bozes's little brother started screaming as he felt... nothing. He wasn't hit by anything. When he turned around he saw that Hudson had pulled his gun to the side and shot into the floor. The Hollow point bullet practically disintegrating on impact. The bullet left a small smoking hole in the marble floor. Cracks forming around the impact area.

"You really would have let your brother die? For what? Honor? Shame on you", Said Hudson as he glared down at her.

Bozes released a sigh of relief

Suddenly the door bursted open and Mitchell with Kelly rushed in, rifles raised. "Everybody okay? We heard a shot". Kelly scanned the room for any threats and notices Hudson's smoking Pistol.

He nodded understandingly and relaxed his posture. Kelly was smart enough to not mess with the guy who's job was practically to know everything and kill anyone without discrimination.

Mitchell on the other hand wasn't like that. "Would you mind telling me, why the fuck the Crown princess is fucking crying in terror? Or why you look like you're about to execute that boy for fucks sake?".

"Captain, i was just looking for information which can get in handy later on", said Hudson in a very light tone. Almost as he was mocking him.

"And why in the name of fuck does, getting intel sound in your mouth like you're about to commit several war crimes?".

Mitchell knew for sure that Hudson didn't have a counter for that, because the Agent just shrugged his shoulders. Mitchell was bewildered by the action and huffed in annoyance. "Just... try to not kill them. Okay?". Mitchell spread his arms and glared at Hudson, waiting for his response.

"I can't promise that but i give it my best shot", retorted Hudson sarcastically. After that, Mitchell just shook his head and threw out several curses as he went back to the others.

"Alright", Hudson propped the knight back on his knees and held the pistol at his head, "Your name. Now".

Bozes saw first handed what that death device could do and that Hudson wasn't fucking around this time. She decided to save her brother over the empire this time, since she got something like a second chance.

With a shaky voice she replied, "M... My name i... is B... Bozes Co Palesti. First b... born daughter of Marquis P... Palesti. Please don't hurt him".

"Fucking finally. Why do i always have to count to three before y'all answer? Are we in a fucking kindergarten?", said Hudson exaggerated, "anyways, now tell me second for second, what happened back there, that you had to best and bruise the shit out of that man".

"W... Well, it all begun-".

"The short version please. Jump to the part where you met them", interrupted Hudson.

-Preventing a War-

Falmart Calendar, 1291, earlier that day

Bozes Co Palesti, yellow rose

Rose knights

Flashback:

"Lady Bozes, where are we heading? Itallica is the other way", asked Panache. The white haired girl was a closer friend of Bozes and her second in Command. "One last patrol to make sure no Bandits are roaming around here", the blonde replied.

"What's that? Dead ahead!", one of the male knights called when he spotted a dust cloud coming towards them. Bozes' first thought was cavalry. "Ready your shields, could be cavalry". The order was received and the shield wielders went up front as they trotted forward, slowly but surely.

When the dust cloud grew closer and a distinct noise, none of the knights could identify, was heard, it was clear that what ever was approaching them, was everything but cavalry.

That noise, a low rumbling grew louder, over the horizon suddenly a bunch of self propelled wagons appeared. There where six wagons in total, the three in the rear had a white blue flag with stars in the middle painted on their sides. Bozes ordered her knights to hold their positions in case this was some kind of trap.

Soon the wagons held in front of them and a raven haired man, clad in green cloth which had some sort of pattern on it, stepped out of the wagon.

"Greetings", he said and held up a hand. Bozes only scoffed. Her look should have told him everything.

"We are the JSDF and we want to enter Itallica", the Raven haired man continued. Bozes noticed another man, this one clad in black with a black helmet. He facepalmed himself and shook his head as he walked up to the man in green.

They where talking something in another language, it looked like they where arguing about something until another man clad in green materialized behind them. He looked like the leader of this group so she addressed him.

"You! What do you seek in Itallica", she said in her authoritative tone and pointed to the man in the middle. He looked clueless and pointed at himself questioningly.

"Yes you!", Bozes ordered, her tone getting angrier with each second.

"I'm sorry miss but-", the other man in green tried to talk but Panache cut him off. "Shut it peasent. She's talking to your leader", she said and pointed to Trigger.

The OIA agent gaped at her and tried also to say something but was also cur off by Panache. "Give her the treaty", he muttered to Trigger. The latter understanding the Agent, produced the paper and handed it to Bozes. The problem was, to hand her the treaty she had to get really close to her. "What's this?", she asked with a pointed look at Trigger. He just sheepishly grinned because he had no idea what Bozes was saying.

Bozes grew angry and hit the Pilot with the blunt side of her blade, effectively knocking him to the ground.

After that stunt, the wagons with the white and blue flag opened hatches on their roofs, where men grabbed some sort of weapons mounted on them.

The smallest of them just aimed at Bozes and her knights, another weapon started to spin and gave a high pitched humming sound and then the last one, the biggest looking out of the three weapons of them. The man manning it, grabbed a handle on its side and pulled it back. That action was followed by the meanest and mightiest sounding, "Katchunk", that Bozes has ever heard.

"Oh god, are you guys nuts! Don't shoot for gods sake". Ordered the Agent as he heard the roof mounted machine guns being loaded and readied to fire.

Another man stepped out of the Wagon, he also was clad in green but he had a helmet on as well, like the one clad in black.

A scream was heard from the back of the formation and a Blonde girl who looked to be the age of Bozes also stepped out, her face showing pure rage. She was tailed by two individuals who looked to be her life guard, they tried to talk her back but she didn't listen. The man in black had to hold her back so she wouldn't come to close to Bozes.

"Get her back into your victor, we're pulling out", said the Agent as he pushed Cossette back. "Captain, Lieutenant, back into your victors, move it", he continued and looked at Trigger, "We'll get you back. Don't worry". Trigger nodded as some of the Rose order knights dismounted their horses and approached him with chains.

Hudson listened intently. He still had a question though. "Do you still have that paper the man gave you?", he asked. Bozes only shook her head and Hudson sighed and Facepalmed. "Did you at least read what was written on it?", he asked frustrated.

"Yes".

"Good, at least you ain't completely stupid", he said. This earned him a glare from Bozes. "And what conclusion did you pull out of that paper. Let me remind you that it was signed by Piña".

"W... we thought it was fake", she admitted and looked down at the ground.

Hudson sighed and again shook his head in disappointment, "Do you realize that you... i don't know... maybe, started a god damn war between our nations for fucks sake?!".

"And? Are you scared that our army will crush yours?", retorted Bozes confidently. She looked to Piña for reassurance but only saw her staring in shock.

Hudson scoffed, "I'm not worried about my men. In fact the complete opposite is true, i'm worried about your men". Bozes overcame a feeling of confusion and fear. This man was so confident about his claim and on top of that, there was Piña's reaction.

A/N:

Reviews:

Wing Zero 032- well yes i admit. Piña's response to Norma's death was kinda dry. But i promise i have something else for this matter planned.

As you've read, it wasn't a Marine but Trigger Himself. And they will have their asses wooped more than just this time (Spoilers: Visit to Sadera in the future)

Cheers mate. I won't abandon this story. It's just way to fun to write it.

(Edited):

Firestar Prime- how about you just don't read it and piss the fuck off my page? Arrogant asshole. I'm okay if you have any criticism with valid points on for example my gramar or anything related to the story but just plain insulting it is fucking wrong. Grow the fuck up. If you don't like something just don't watch it.
