United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor

The United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor commonly called the United Kingdom, Pupatory or Miotia is a Dual or Tri Constitutional Monarchy in Western Wasaru. Currently known as the Regency of the United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor-Kjanu. It is bordered on the north by Northern Czech, on the south by Jezabelstien, on the east by Serpenteum, and on the west by the sea. Miotia-Candor comprises 5 prefectures and 2 special regions. It is also known as the apocalypse sponge. Every time there is an extinction-level event, the United Kingdom usually if not always receives the highest civilian casualties. There's a population decrease of 400,000,000 to 148,000,000 during the time of early 2019 to late 2020. Which results in nationwide automation.

Inherited ancient Chaodian culture, from there developed Pupatory civilization. After the split from Pupatory into Miotia and Candor, the two nations had solely focused on developing weapons to destroy each other for 900 years until a common enemy hs restored the ties between the two. In 1999, the twin kingdoms united and formed what is known today as the United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor. Newly transitioning from fascist to democracy, the United Kingdom's democracy is considered a mess by many. Following the will of Princess Eudokia, the Eudokist faction has maintained and ensured democracy continues to thrive. Kjanu joined the United Kingdom later in 2019, becoming the United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor and Kjanu.

The United Kingdom is a centrist military, economic, cultural, and diplomatic Great Power that influences much of Wasaru, and interplanetary transport due to its ownership of the Rias International Space Elevator. Which is protected by the anti-ICBM Rhongomyniad Network, just like the entirety of Northern Wasaru. Influencing pop culture with their Anime, Manga industry, and deviant works with little to no restriction on freedom of expression. Due to the geopolitics of being near former Jezabelstien and Mendenwall Empire, large defense spending is a must to keep up with its neighboring threats. Additionally, with the Commonwealth leaving the World Union(WU) and becoming a potential enemy, there are many calls for even higher military spending. The dawn of Andriod automata, the Nephilim-Class Aragami replacing soldiers has risen after the population has been reduced to 37% in 2019. Which had left much of the nation in plant-covered ruins, turning it in a carbon-negative nation. The United Kingdom's main WMD are the A2 mines, they are much more efficient and cleaner than conventional nuclear fission weapons. The United Kingdom focuses on the Air Force and the navy. Known for having massive wing-morphing flying machines and naming every single class of warship a 'destroyer' to avoid controversy. Possibly the only military world power without a proper aircraft carrier or battleship, officially.

Due to a long history with bioweapons, medicine is the primary, low-background steel, and semiconductor, ARM-based Electronics are the secondary export. Titanium alloys are produced in large amounts for the plane-loving nation. Firearms within the nation are all electronically and remotely locked by default. They're only unlocked when the Athena system or the PHS recognizes an existing threat that requires the use of a firearm. However, Nephilim sentries are exceptions to this rule.

Etymology

Miotia or Miotus, the origin of the name is still unknown to this day. Many suspect the word originated from "Mio" which could be an interpretation of "meow" This was due to the usually winged cats that inhabit the land.
Candor or Kanatoro is a name of an ancient tribe that was once conquered by the Empire Pupatory during their expedition toward the south.

The standard way to refer to a citizen of Miotia is as a "Miotian" and Candorian as a "Candorian" or "Kanatoran"

History & Lore(Season 1 Summary + Last Arc)WIP


9,000 BC. According to legends of multiple sources, Chaodis civilization was founded by humans and the Ocean Abyssal deities, one of the earliest if not the earliest civilization recorded to date.

3,500 BC. While it is not known when the Tower of Chaodis' construction began, it was destroyed this year.

2,000 BC. According to Pupatorian Catherdrasilicom, discrimination between ocean deities and humans led to the event known as the great flood. In the Christian myth, God chose a man named Len ainh, and he would build the Kivotos, an Ark to survive the flood with animals. The Kivotos would make it to modern-day Minervaindexca.

1,000 BC. The City-state of Pupatory is founded above the subsurface ruins of Chaodis, likely to be remnant people of Chaodis.

328 BC: The Great Pecs conquered all major societal areas of Wasaru, including Pupatory.

300 BC: The Nagy Pecs collapsed, Pupatory regain independence.

Flag of the Pupatorian Empire

1 AD: Chaodis earthquake. (SSS-001 Formation)

117 AD: Republic of Pupatory reformed into the Empire of Pupatory, led by the great conqueror Afixishelle Leythal. Leythal's military campaign towards the south begins with the invasion of Northern Kjanu(Kanatoro)

120 AD: Afixishelle Leythal continues her conquest and crushed the Verleschdians, Pupatory occupies modern-day Western Kjanu, Jezabelstien, Minervaindexca, and Bahreich. Bible's 50 Years of Terror starts.

170 AD: The death of Afixishelle Leythal caused the Empire of Pupatory to separate itself into autonomous regions of Governorates.

200 AD: The controversial Governor of Uyna(Modern day Minervaindexca) caused a massive Catholic revolt.

201 AD: Empire of Verleschdie helps the Catholic Insurgents, declares war on Pupatory in support of the Holy State of Uyna. The two year crusade against Pupatory results in the total collapse of Pupatorian governorates with the exception of Northern Kjanu(Kanatoro).

1130 AD: the last emperor of Pupatory, Afixischelle XIV died of old age. The civil war between the ethic-based Kanatoroan clan and the remaining Pupatoran forces battled. Which eventually led to the complete collapse of the empire.

1132 AD: the two factions have reorganized themselves into the Divine Clan of Kanatoro, and the Greater Miotian Empire. The two power did not declare independence until 1140 AD. Which then, will lead to the 9 centuries war.

No surviving text of the 9 centuries war has yet to be found. However, there are ruins of fortresses and unknown military installations of different eras everywhere within the nation, which serves as evidence of a 900-year war taking place.

1643 AD: When the Kudian Empire starts to decline due to the rising Corlenia down south, the twin kingdoms saw this as a perfect opportunity to test out their armadas. Bringing the conflicts away from home for a while. When the Kudian Empire officially dissolves, in the year 1647. The first of the Miotian Imperial Navy invaded the west coast. Establishing Miowald colony, with New Sieg as the colonial command center. The Candorians followed shortly after, invading the Miotian colony from the south, establishing Hadano, and completely blocking any traffic heading in and out of New Sieg.
A Miotian Imperial fleet from Sieg back in its homeland was sent to reclaim the southern coast but ultimately failed due to the standardized vessel production of the Candorian navy. Not letting this chance slip away, The Candorian colonial government launched a full-scale invasion on the remnants of the Kudian imperial infrastructures, advancing toward the heart of the dead empire with the help of a few remnant imperial factions that were bribed by the Candorian colonial government.
Which resulted in the creations of Dunstburg, and Naumfeld prefectures in 1650. The northern Kudian remnants are now cut off from the south.
1651 AD: a resistance of the Kudian people rises, and took over the city of Grandon, attempting to set an example of the underground resistance all around the Candorian colony.
Due to the resistances in Grandon, Amstelburg, and Wolfsbruck of the Naumfeld prefecture. The Candorian colonial government mobilized the Royal Army to retake Naumfeld.

The resistances were eventually defeated in a bloody war, those who supported the Kudian resistance were hung in public.

1652: Just right after the main forces of the Candorian colony reclaimed the frontier, the Miotian Navy returned with the intel of Hadano under-armed due to the reclaim operation towards the west. The Miotian Imperial Navy still failed to take Hadano, but they were successful in capturing the port of Futsuhama.
Quickly fortifying the port city, the military power of the Miotian Empire was able to reclaim New Sieg from war criminals after 7 years of chaos.

1656 AD: the invasion of the Northern Kudian remnants was carried out by the Miotian Empire. Capturing the rest of the northern regions. Several minor conflicts were fought between the Miotian and the Candorian colony, however, there were no major battles from the 1660s and on.

1860 AD: Following Kkhano's imperial expansion from the heart of the Wasaru continent, the dawn of the great war, Great Miotius was invaded from the south, which forces the empire to fight both fronts.

1870 AD: weapon of mass destruction was detonated right at the center of Miostation and Sieg, flattening the two cities. This has led the Kanatorans to realize the new threat. Signing a truce and allowing Miotian citizens to take refugees in Kanatoro.

1873 AD: To slow the Kkhano forces, the Kanatoran and the Miotians had developed the P5S3 virus, A neurotoxin bioweapon that causes one to experience great pleasure that when they hurt themselves. However, this did not stop the enemy's advancement, by attacking from the back. This forced both the Miotian and the Kanatoran governments to be in exile.

1920 AD: Eventually, the war was won by the Third Coalition. Under the puppet governments of Greater Kjanu, the twin kingdoms, and the colonies were rebuilt. The puppet government lasts until 1939. It ended when the Kjanuan revolution overthrew the Kjanuan monarch.

After the war, the two-nation focused on restoration rather than having another arms race. There had been heated situations such as the Amaterasu missile crisis. Things were mostly calm. The unification movement first began in the colony of the twin kingdoms after the new successful colonial governors fell in love. Led by the governor families of the two colonies. It was an ideal to end the 900 years’ rivalries, and for the two young governors to be together.
The twin kingdoms rejected this idea and labeled the two as traitors. The young governors were replaced by the imperial military government sent from the homeland. 9 months after the two governors' imprisonment due to treason, the neo-colonial military mutinied and chased out the forces from the homeland.

1967 AD: After reclaiming their positions, the two colonies were officially unified into what is today known as Rikura. Those two were Oscar Reichmann, and Nori Kamino, these were the first monarchy of the Duchy.
Gave up on the colony, and focuses on rebuilding homes, the twin kingdom accepted the declaration of interdependent from Rikura

After sealing the radioactive materials underground. Miostation was covered by a massive dome-shaped structure for unknown reason by the Ministry of Science in Miotus, which later, the central fortress city of Edokyuuria was built onto.
Itashikir was born in Omikane in 1967 Dec 1st

1970 AD: Due to indirect genocide of their culture and fearing for their child's future. Itashikir's parents started acting abusively. The Candorian authority moved in and arrested the parents. Itashikir and his brother were moved to join the Candorian Army.

1984 AD: Young scientist Simon Mendelson and actress Sayaka Mashiro married. The Omikane clan was eradicated due to their threat to the imperial house, which the Kaiser was believed to be a descendant of the gods. Under the command of the Imperial house, the Omikane clan was eradicated. Itashikir followed the order and publically executed his father with his hand before realizing what his parents have done for them.
Over a small portion of the Omikane clan was spared, and was forced into medical and bioweapon experiments.

1989 AD: Daughter of Simon Mendelson and Sayaka Mashiro, Fuyuki Mashiro was born.

Due to the weakening economy of the Miotian Empire, it eventually collapsed in 1997. Forcing the Kaiser of the time to return political power to the people, turning the state into a democratic semi-fascist state.
With the Miotian Kaiser and the Queen of Kanatoro's marriage, the two nations were united as one, one monarch, two governments, in 1997. Opening the border to foreigners. It was also during this time, the Pure Gene Research Institution(PGRI) a joint bioweapon research division by the Minister of Science, Simon Mendelson was founded, hidden from the public. Little did the public nor the government know, the PGRI was controlled by a traditionalist extremist fascist group that hopes to recreate the Pupatory Empire. Simon Mendelson was a member of the group.
The PGRI started building superweapons such as the arsenal rays, massive underground complexes, and ACRS railgun system, sometime in 1998, it was the year when PGRI made contact with the Vrils within the ruins.
Miraculum cell was found in an airtight container within the ruins. It was not long until PGRI start injecting them into a human embryo.
These humans will mostly lack emotion or desire. This is most likely due to the miraculum cell's nature to obey sentimental beings' desires.
However, in nature, there are always exceptions. Those that retain or can emulate emotion upon given command are trained and placed into families by faking birth records with a certain disease, requiring the child to head to their training facility secretly. This system gives the government full monitoring of powerful families.
DNA from the Inaban household was used to create Inaban Haru. Inaban Fuyu initially accepted Inaban Haru as her twin sister, however, she would later find out that is not the case. Shinozaki was undergoing inhuman training to collect data for the PGRI to create supersoldiers which require her to be in the local hospital-like facility every few days a week.
A divorce happened, Inaban Haru's family name is changed to Shinozaki, Shinozaki Haru. Due to the two families living in the same district, Inaban Fuyu would normally go pick up the always wounded Shinizaoki Haru from the hospital (PGRI facility).

The curious youth Inaban quickly found out the truth by sneaking into a restricted area of the old building. Knowing that spreading the information would endanger her family, she keeps quiet until sometime in 2018.
Since then, the Fuhrer Chancellors of the United Kingdom had been genetically engineered superhuman puppets with no free will. With every step moving towards a fascist Pupatory playing along with the democratic game, in the public's face.

1997 AD: Simon Mendelson and Sayaka Mashiro divorced due to the inhumane experiments Mendelson continues for the Pure Gene Research Institution that might taint her public image and fame.
Itashikir and his brother were positioned in Mendelson's newest facility. Witnessing the suffering of children he and his brother argued. Ending up having no choice but to kill his only family, he escaped with a girl named Opere to Frontera.

On 1999 Jan 4th, in an unknown top-secret facility disguised orphanage. Marissa met Shinozaki for the first time, who was at the time with Dr. Reinhold. The two came to celebrate Akko's birthday with the other children. During this time Simon Mendelson and his team were replacing a child test subject's bone marrow with a synthetic miraculum bone marrow for the first time. The experiment went out of control due to the subject's strong desire to perfect an organ transplant without the effects of organ rejection. The miraculum cells twisted such meaning to assimilate biomass in its range, to become a production of perfect organs for transplant. Akko watched Marissa getting crushed and assimilated in front of her. Dr. Reinhold quickly took Shinozaki and Akko out of the facility before its full lockdown.

Capitol Citadel

2007 AD: Celestial Five Amatsumikaboshi University Idol Group was founded. The group consists of Ichihara Kana, Chifuya Okada, Laruna Kracht, Charlotte Hohenstein, and Mashiro Fuyuki.

2008 June 3th Itashikir and a terrorist group planned bombs within Amatsumikaboshi university, a campus of social elites. He was discovered by Kana Ichihara who mistook him to be a fan of her. Itashikir promised to see her concert the next day.
Fuyuki's Mashiro mother, Sayaka Mashiro was assassinated at home.
2008 June 4th, Kana Ichihara waiting for Itashikir however he never shows up. Itashikir and his allies watched the site from a distance. Itashikir hesitated before hatred toward Candorians takes over, he pulls the trigger.
An explosion occurred on stage, Fuyuki Mashiro shield Kana from the explosion suffered server burnt.
Simon Mendelson provided Miraculum with technology-based medicine for her daughter (Fuyuki) Mashiro in secret to save her life. He believes he doesn't have the right to see her due to his line of work. (Fuyuki) Mashiro wakes up and finds that Kana became delusional in her world where their friend never died. Mashiro fell into depression after learning her friends are dead, and her father wouldn't even come to see her.
Celestial Five was disbanded after a terrorist attack on the stadium conducted by an underground Omikane faction. The media reported most members of the idol group were killed in the incident. A massive crackdown on the terrorist group was carried out immediately. The deaths of certain members were never out to the public due to the heavy crackdown focus on by the news.
Ichihara Kana and Mashiro Fuyuki survived but were separated ever since.
Departed from Amatsumikaboshi Universit, Mashiro chose to study politics.

2016 rigged election, the 4th Fuhrer Chancellor Shinozaki Weiss Haru, an unknowingly defected product became the leader.

Returning to the abandoned hospital, Akko freed the initial host of the organ creating a monster by replacing herself as the miraculum cell infestation's host. While her deepest desire was to resurrect Marissa, the replica did not wake. The replica was placed into cold sleep. Not having a strong enough desire and will to overwrite the miraculum instruction, Akko herself is trapped and continued to be the miraculum's host, which continues to carry out the previous host's desire.

Following PGRI's orders, Shinozaki passed a bill that requires civilians to have health stats monitoring chips installed on them.
This chip serves as an electronic ID and sends data to the central ATHENA system to prevent crimes by measuring epinephrine-stress level, anyone's ATHENA is higher than 300 is required to be sent to a rehabilitation facility. Which were usually rare. It was revealed later in 2019 by the Mashiro Administration, anyone who had an ATHENA higher than 400 was removed from society and was sent to PGRI as an experiment subject.

In the 2018 summer, to improve diplomatic relations with the outside world, Shinozaki founded a humanitarian aid organization named 'Green Cross'. In reality, it's a PGRI branch that tests chemicals, bioweapons, and experimental medication on enemies. The Green Cross was sent to United Kuzikstan to aid the Serbatijan empire secretly with chemical weapons, especially paralyzing gas to disable both hostage and hostile forces.

The Green Cross was also sent to the Serbatijan civil war to save the royal family. The communist won the war eventually.
Shinozaki refused to talk with the communist Serbatijan government until news of a meteor was heading to the Wasari artic was reported by the Ministry of Science

A month later, a meteor was crashed into the artic. With a good with the Serbatjians, the United Kingdom sent researchers along with the Empire. After making contact and confirming it's an alien spacecraft, the Vrils launched an invasion from the ancient warp gate on the moon. Even with the ACRS's power, the 120cm railguns were only capable of scratching the massive Vril warships invading. With the help of the Mega blaster from the Serbatijans, the NU forces had destroyed the first wave of invasion.

When the second wave, attacked, the northern district of Edokyuuria was molten by the Vril's WMD. However, the second wave was taken out by multiple nuclear weapons due to the disruption of their shield with EMP.
It was then a mutiny that happened within the United Kingdom by the minister of defense.
He was taken care of by Shinozaki blowing up the room they were in. The first clone of Shinozaki was destroyed during this event.
With the help of the Meridian commonwealth, The second and third Vril invasion was taken care of by destroying the generators on the ancient moon warp gate.
Fuhrer Chancellor woke up in the Senate Terminal hospital with her new body. (This was not known to both Shinozaki herself, and the media until the mass declassification by the Mashiro Administration in 2019.)

After the Vril war, the United Kingdom suffers from a weakened economy. FC Shinozaki had passed bills that abolished that fascist economy, and unrestricted hundreds of economic freedom regulations. Human rights and political freedom had also been largely unrestricted. Possibly influences from Meridian commonwealth or the close ally New Republic of Frontera.

Astroid ship Primordial Tiamat project began.

2018, November an arsenal ray was crashed into the senate terminal, causing panic just when the entire internet service was shut down by communist forces. Trapped in the senate terminal, it was reported by allied security forces, Shinozaki led them to safety, avoiding the communist forces. While most senators were killed by the communist forces. As they reach the hall, Shinozaki's bodyguard Sutsushi pushed and shielded her from a sniper shot, losing her army. Shinozaki blamed herself for being useless as she gets Sutsushi to safety. Refusing to abandon her.
The three went to a small office room to take cover from the enemy. It is then, Ackerman revealed to him Shinozaki was Dr. Reinhold by taking off his disguise, and that she, the lab product is no longer needed for the grand plan due to her being a defecting product of a puppet figure. The two were on a stand-off. Dr. Reinhold hesitated to fire, due to this Shinozaki clone being someone similar to a student or even a daughter to him. until Shinozaki fired. Dr. Reinhold did not fire, he admitted that he couldn't bring himself to do so. He told Shinozaki he was tired, and he was glad that it was her who killed him.

Shinozaki and Sutsuhi escaped the building through the exterior emergency staircase. Looking down at the city, Shinozaki stated that she has never felt as free as the moment she is experiencing, nor she had ever realized the world was this beautiful.

With joint help from the Celtic states now known as Iarthar, Kyaon, Serbatijan empire, and Serpenteum, the communist forces were slowed down. An intense battle of ACRSs between the allies and the communist forces was fought in Sieg and Edokyuuria.

Combat Satellite Haruna-3 was destroyed by ACRS, later replaced by Haruna-4

The communist forces of Hinomoto separated and joined the allies after learning they were all deceived by PGRI and the ministry of science to 'reset' the nation back into its initial state, where they had control.
Minister of Defence and the leader of the communist forces was killed after discovering the Ministry of Science and PGRI's plan to 'reset' the nation. However, the relay message was passed onto Albert Lionheart to journey to the battlefield in Edokyuuria, to notify the leader of the Old Imperial Forces(royalist), Inaban Weiss Fuyu was informed of the situation and the secret biopsychological WMD named 'Harmony' that causes masse seizures.

The communist forces were scattered after Karl was killed. The Minister of Science, Simon Mendelson took over the remaining forces and continues to advances toward Edokyuuria's senate terminal. Where 'Harmony' was designed was to be used with. The senate terminal itself was secretly an ultra broadcasting device designed for the WMD 'harmony'

With allied forces arrive at Edokyuuria, the communist forces were slowly being pushed back to the Senate Terminal. While under Senate Terminal, Simon Mendelson and Shinozaki fought for the control of the central computer that controls the mechanism of the Senate Terminal superstructure.
During this time, Admiral Inaban ordered the placement of MOABs in the structural support of the 'shell' which was holding up the Senate Terminal from the Miostation ruins below. The communist forces were captured and quickly moved out of the 'collapsing area'.

As the admiral ordered, dozens of MOABs were ignited, destroying the voussoirs of the dome that holds up the Senate Terminal's structure, the Senate Terminal collapses down into the shelled ruins of Miostation. However, the broadcasting structure was still intact. Even though its wave won't reach a nationwide scale, everyone in Edokyuuria would still be affected by it.

After the collapse, it is believed Shinozaki somehow killed Simon Mendelson and disabled the device. Fuhrer Chancellor Shinozaki was then disappeared from the collapsed ruins, never to be seen again. (OOC: She felt it was her duty to eliminate the remaining member of the PGRI organization so the same tragedy won't happen to anyone else. She's working for the secret intelligence currently) These details were retrieved from the ATHENA monitoring AI.

The civil war ended with the communist force signing a peace treaty with the royalist forces. Allowing a multi-party government.

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor


Breaking:
A Series of explosions has been reported to be seen nationwide. In Kanatoro, the K block of the Hexagon, Ministry of Defence has collapsed due to an unknown explosion, the number of casualties are unknown. The second explosion is reported in an arcade owned by SAGA in the Anime Culture center of Haruhabara, Edokyurria. The Third explosion is reported to be in nuclear power plant in Sieg. Fearing radiation leak locals authorities has began a massive evacuation from Sieg and Rauenhausen to Amaterasu in the neighbouring prefecture.

About noon, as the evcuation of Seig and Rauenhausen are in process, another explosion has destroyed one of the columns of the highway, causing jam in the evacuation route.
Right after the Senate has announced state of emergency, Edokyuuria-Kanatoro Railway could be seen caught on fire as it crashes into the Senate Terminal at full speed. The railway destroyed the western columns of the outskirt of the Senate Terminal, causing small portion to collapse as an explosion followed. Most of the government are being evacuate to Izanagi.

The URA has been ordered to return from Fukurouju and Daikokuten.

Citizens are told to return to their homes. All non-government related works are suspended.

Primordial Tiamat



This is the newly constructing Asteroid Ship Primordial Tiamat of the Rias Joint Space Agency.

We've lost all contact with United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor about 10 minutes after an Arsenal Ray crashed into the Senate Terminal in the heart of Edokyruuia.

The last transmutation was from the Old Imperial Miotian Military Division of the United Royal Forces from Neo-Tokyo

"The enemy forces seems to have intruded deep into our defences.

This is not merely a terrorist attack.

All highways toward Edokyuuria has been destroyed by an a military of unknown origin. They've blockaded the gates of the walled capital.

We're evacuating citizens toward the coast line.

Luckily no radiation leak has been detect from the partially destroyed powerplant Sieg.

The enemies seems to be equiped with the excat same equipment as us, no response has came from Hexagon back in Kanatoro. Most networks are down due to massive jamming through out the nation.

Just like the capital, all the enemy forces seems to be in every single city within the nation. The Old Imperial Miotian Forces of Neo-Tokyo are now acting independently from the United Royal Forces. Not much is known what happened to the Candorian military. Our airforces are now engaging with stolen CFA-44 and Arsenal Rays that are currently bombing our military facilities.

By the current highest in command, Admiral Inaban, temporary control of the United Royal Forces on foreign and UWU territories are given to Kjanu and New Republic of Frontera

We will move our forces to defend the coastal cities as the civilians are being evacuat-
You hear m-?

damnit it's those ja-

one impor-

they're usi- ou-

ps- b- weaponries"

The transmutation has been cut off due to heavy jamming.

Haruna-4 will be returning to the UWU moon base to assist the URCF by our newly built interplanetary laser railway.

Serbatijan Empire



People's Congress held a meeting about situation in the Kingdom and they can't let their ally fall into chaos. Several special Partisan divisions were boarded up on 5 transport planes and are dispatched to outskirts of Edokyuuria to break the siege of the city and support URF. These partisan divisions are specialised for sabotage, guerrilla warfare and among other things which will be really useful to break the siege of Kingdom's capital.

Primordial Tiamat



From the satellites imageries of Hiei-4, United Royal Forces were seen engaging with the Old Miotian Imperial Forces and someother United Royal Forces in Old Miotus Prefecture.

The Imperial forces continue to protect the highway as civilians evacuates toward the costal cities.

In fortress city Fiügel, Canadorian forces were seen engaging with the United Royal Forces both land and air. Same as the Old Imperial force, the Candorian military priorities on evacuating civilians.

Arsenal Rays could be seen deploying X-47Bs destroying each other.

Edokyuuria is covered in dense smoke, it is currently not possible to tell the situation inside.

Serbatijan Empire



After a few hours as intense fighting proceeds, strealth transports arrived in Miotia-Candor. The planes flied over the coastline and saw evacuation process going on. 2 planes continued to Edokyuuria while other 3 let the paratroopers out somewhat near the coastline, but mostly inland to help URF fight this unknown enemy. They would slow down the enemy movement by a lot and actually put up a very good resistance.

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor



As Edokyuuria was engulfed by flames and ashes, the United Royal Airforce could be seen destroying each other. Weaken buildings collapses after missiles missed their target and landed onto skyscrapers. Corpses of both soldiers and civilians could be seen on the main street as the URF continues to fight each other.

An Arsenal Ray could be seen crashed into the Senate Terminal, completed destroyed block 6.

ACRS could be seen firing rapidly through out the nation, destroying both apartments, military facilities and other ACRS units.

_

Two jets were seen fighting each other, but as the Serbatijan Jet approaches, the fighting stopped.

F35-X2 with the Black paint transmitted:

"Reinforcements?- No… Are you an enemy or a foe?"

The oppositing CFA-44 with the red paint transmitted:

"Just on time, we would really appreciate your help and to restore order to this nation."

Kyaon



Kyaon would like to send his permanent Army to help the country in this chaos, is there others UWU countries that are able to send help ?

Serbatijan Empire



Two transporters released the paratroopers down to Edokyuuria to restore order in the city and hopefully find out what is going on. Transporters moved away and only two of JNA jets remained with two URF jets. JNA AF captain tried to communicate with them

"Hello? This is captain Željko Maksimović of JNA AF. Please state what is going on and what are your intentions?"

The other jet kept an eye out for the URF jet with red paint since URF were known for their black and white planes.

Kyaon



We send 5 million soldiers trained by the KATGA, Assault Units and 30 Fighter Jets.

We are sorry if the Council didn't decide to authorize Kyaon to help Miotia-Candor but at this point, the permission isn't needed.

We encourage other nations to help us.

United Kingdom Miotia-Candor



"I'm sorry, I cannot give away intel until it's clear that you're a ally."

The F35-X2 paint in black responded.

"That F35-X2 is the enemy we're fighting. Our military is currently trying to restore law and order back to the nation, we would really appreciate your help comr-"

The CFA-44 in red's communication was cut off right after it was destroyed by a shockwaves of a bullet fired from an ACRS miles away.

The F35-X2 in black ignores the JNA Transporters and dived down to attack another URA Jet.

___

Remnants of military vehicles could be seen burning throughout the streets of Edokyuuria, as anime advertisement posters collapsed onto the roads crushing the the abandoned cars. Windows of most buildings in the capital has been shattered, couples of skyscrapers were completely collapsed onto another building, blocking street. Colored Gases could be seen covering multiple regions of the city with corpses of both civilians and soldiers laying on the streets.

Civilians could be seen fighting each other, same situtation with URFs.

Armored Battle-Trains could be seen moving on the railway firing at both civilians and the military.

__

A moose code by light "SOS" could be seen from the partially collapsed Senate Terminal at the heart of the capital. However that's where most of the conflict is currently taking place.

Kyaon



We would like to know who is the enemy, actually if they have a special symbol and which part of the city they took under their control.
We'll inquire with Serbatija.

Primordial Tiamat



"This is the United Royal Cosmo Navy. Even ourselves are not cleared what is happening down there. But please prioritized on the evacuation of civilians."

Serbatijan Empire



JNA jets decided to trust the F35-X2 and followed it and helped the pilot fight of the remaining red jets.

Meanwhile on the ground in Edokyuuria the Partisan brigade gathered around a kilometer away from Senate Terminal and saw the SOS signal.

"What do we do commander?" a soldier asked

"Let's see what that SOS signal is about. Keep your weapons ready and watch out for any debris. Let's go! Move it!" commander Radomir ordered as the partisans started moving towards the Senate Terminal while other two divisions explored the ruins of the city still maintaining communication between eachother and with the main division headed for the terminal.

Kyaon



Well, the Government has ordered to the Army and the KATGA to evacuate all citizens and if possible, retrieve identifiable dead bodies.

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor



As the JNA forces approaches the central district. Soldiers could be seen running away from the battlefield with gas mask on. In the dense dust, hundreds of corpses could be seen laying on the ground without signs of physical wound. However all the victims had their eyes opened wide.

Guns fires and explosions were louder than ever. Vibration of Jets could be felt from the ground.

On the sides of the roads, there were buildings filled with burning advertisements signs with bullet holes. What was once a electric town is now in ruins.

__

The URAF Jet in red are now tailing the JNA transport, as they fire warning shots.

"We do not wish to have a hostile relation with the Serbatijan Republic. We demand the JNA to leave the Miotus-Kandorian Airspace."

Serbatijan Empire


The masks on the soldiers automatically activated as soon as foreign gases were detected. The partisans aimed the guns at those soldiers running towards them demanding that they stop and state what is going on, some soldiers kept an eye out for any ambushes. The other two other divisions were wandering around looking for any survivors or civilians in need of assistance.

Crew on the transports were confused as they were just leaving plus they really don't have any weapons except defense turrets. They sent out a distress signal and JNA jets that were helping the URA pilot when they first came pulled up from the dog fight and they both fired their R4 napalm heat-seeking missles on the red jet.

Unuted Kingdom of Miotia-Candor



The explosion of the Red Jet has caught URAF's attention, which caused the other red ones to target the JNA forces.

_

As the JNA division began to question the fleeing soldiers, a experimental tank crashed and broke through the wall from the inside of a building.

It was not a tank model of any known record. The tank immediately fired at the division with its machine gun. A badly wounded URA soldier ran toward the tank and self-destructed. Destroying the track and the machine gun barrel, buying time for the division to escape.

"JNA… huh? I hope that we can really trust you."

One of the soldiers muttered moments before he collapsed. The Sgt quickly ran over and carried him away.

"What you are you standing here for? Let's get to somewhere safe first."

The Sgt suggested.

Moments later, more tanks could be felt through the vibration of the ground.

Meanwhile in Neo-Tokyo

"Do we know who and what the enemies are?"

Admiral Inaban asked furiously in the conference room. Strangely enough everyone was wearing ear protections.

"Sorry m'am, other than knowing them flying a red symbol of some sort, there's not much info about the terr-"

The reporting officer was interrupted by the admiral.

"Enough of that crap, We all know that they're not terrorists. What kind of terrorist could get their hands on experimental weapons that no one even knows that they existed!? This is clearly a coup"

"m'am you do know that, what you're saying is top se-"

"Top Secret? Does it even matter? The enemy are using them against civilians. I'm talking about Project Harmony."

Serpenteum



"This is chaos! We have to do something!"
"This is their problem, not ours! You want to waste Serpentean resources on some foreign expedition again?
"What if the cultists were right? Is this-"
"SILENCE!"
Nicolae Danila entered the chamber, his eyes tired, eyebags dark, and generally looking wearier than ever. His signature red cloak was draped around him, signifying his position.
"We will remain professional here, no matter the circumstances. Mr. Ardelean, the cultists have no ties to the situation in United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor, please clear your head. Mr. Konechev, I would hardly call this situation a foreign expedition. The terrorists could easily spill over into Serpenteum. As horrifying as the situation is, I'm afraid that for our own safety we might have to get involved, before they get us involved."
"Danila, with all due respect, do you seriously expect these revolutionary whatever-they-ares to get past our lines? We shouldn't have to worry about it, we have better things to focus on."
Danila looked quite aggravated at this point, but didn't show it in his speech. "If they can just about topple their capital in no time flat, we are in more danger than you might think. Something must be done here, and I doubt they are willing to negotiate. I will contact United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor and see what we can do. Anybody disagree?"
Nobody raised their hand.
"It is unanimous, then. Have a good day."

Serbatijan Empire



As soon as the tanks came closer commander shouted
"MOVE IT! NOW!"
Partisans followed URA soldiers as they cowered them from behind. Two soldiers fired napalm rockets from their RPGs to each side of the street to slow down the tanks movement.

Commander asked the sargeant
"What the f**k is going on here anyway?!"

JNA jets turned on their hyperdrive peforming an 380° turn to an jet who was behind them shooting at it with rockets then informing JNA High Command of overall situation. One aircraft carrier in Northern Czech was ordered to get closer to Miotia-Candorian waters to support JNA jets and soldiers there.

New Republic of Frontera



The divided Fronteran Parliament was unable to make an official statement for this issue as the former ruling government has lost its majority and its supporters after the absent of the President. The Republic of Frontera sends its best regards for the citizens of the United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor, but are currently powerless to aid our ally as our own war has reached an undesired stalemate.

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor



"No one knows for sure. I heard there's a rebellion in Hexagon, the ministry of Defence."

The Sergeant respond as he lead the way toward the subway.

"That's different from what I heard…. I heard it's from some extremist groups, maybe the cultists from Kuzikstan?"

The private commented as he follows the Sergeant into the subway.

"That's completely BS, the United Kingdom is a atheist nation as far as I know. You people notice the red paint son the hostile URFs? I say it's the commies."

Another soldier suggested.

"Hey, that's not nice. The Serbatijans are here."

The Sergeant reminded him with a light glare as the group advances in the subways.

"Rumors, huh? that's what we must relay on? Without the internet we're pretty pathetic aren't we?"

The Sergeant muttered as he leads the group to the underground complex of Edokyruuia form the subway station.

"From here, we should be able to get to the Senate Terminal without interference of hostile vehicles. However I believe that the enemies are down here too."

The Sergeant pointed down the lightless hallway.

"We'll stay here to treat the wounded. alway have you guard up when you meet a URF, you never know if they're a friend or a foe. You can definitely trust the Old Imperial Force that is under the Kaiser, but I doubt any of them are capable of helping us, since the gates of the of the old fortificated capital has closed down."

__

"Reporting from Flagship Carrier Taihou, our vessel is currently in combat with other Ashigara within the first fleet. The we've already lost count of casualties."

XO reported to the admiral through moose code.

"Anyway do we have any intels of the situation out there?"

Admiral Inaban asked in the busy conference room under Neo-Tokyo

"We've got a sighting of a JNA transport ship in Edokyuuria airspace."

One of the officer reported.

"JNA? What the hell are they doing there? Call them to turn back now."

"yes m'am"
__

As the hostile CFA-44s closes in the JNA transports, an squadron of engraved F-12J fired upon the hostile CFA-44s, destroying one of the six.

"This is the Old Miotian Imperial Independent Division of the Former URF. JNA transport plane, please retreat from the region. It is dangerous to remain here."

A veteran-like voice could heard though the transmission.

"Our forces has successfully recaptured Neo-Tokyo, please head there for farther intel and supply. It is currently very hard to communicate to anywhere further than 30km."

To: Serpenteum
Somewhere in Port Sieg that has regain communication to the outside world.

"This is the former Imperial Force, we do not have much information about situation ourselves. At the moment Kaiser's old Imperial forces or we call it the Independent Division of the United Royal Force are currently engaging with hostile United Royal Force that are somewhat colored in red. The enemy's intention are unknown, only coastal cities has regained network. Not much is known about what's happening in Candor. They're currently isolated by mountains due to the destruction of multiple highways."

To: Kyaon
This the Independent (Imperial) Division is unable to assist the KATGA due to the lack of manpower. Treat all URF with caution.

OOC: Start reading from 465

The Celtic States



We will send supplies and medical supplies and staff to support the best we can

Serbatijan Empire



"This gas though… It's pretty weird, we have never seen something like this before…"

Commander commented

One of the soldiers was whispering to his radio trying to communicate with other 2 divisions

"How much until we get to the terminal?"
One soldier asked.
__

The transport was moving left an right as the warning shots were fired. One of the pilots sent a message to a JNA jet

"Marko! Is this how you protect us?! I will f**k you up if i survive!"

Then a message came from JNA jet stating

"We demand that you stop targeting that transport, it is not heavily armed and it was here just to transport our paratrooper divisions. It will follow your direction to safety but take it easy."

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor



"This is the Old Imperial Force or they call it Independent Division, unlike the United Royal Force, we work directly under the Kaiser. Rest assured, we're your allies. Until we get more intels on the enemy, please treat all United Royal Forces within the nation with caution."

The leading old F-12J respond, as more enemies were detected near the horizon.

"The situation here is completely out of control. Please return back to the Neo-Tokyo with us."

Senate Terminal, the great hall, 15th Floor:

"Everyone quickly put on sound filter, this is no joke."

The Chancellor ordered, as the officers began to handout headphone shaped equipment.

"What's the status outside?"

"A JNA transport has dropped a few division of paratroops. In Shinkabuki-District. They're currently engaging CFA-44s with F12Js of the Independent Division."

The soldier on lookout duty replied.

"Situation in the lobby?"

Shinozaki asked as she walk near the cracked bulletproof window and at the Arsenal Ray that crashed into the building a floors above.

"Nothing much has changed, it's filled with rebellious URFs. It's a matter of time till they get up here."

The soldier answer as he look at the elevators Shinozaki ordered to destroy hours ago.

"Do we have any intel on the enemy."

"Yes."

A man with a tired voice answered from the darkest corner of the room.

"huh!?"

Shinozaki and the other senators quickly turns toward the man who was holding a tablet with a sticker of a character that connected all of the CCTV and ID chip scanners throughout the building.

"You're?"

Shinozaki asked awkwardly, forgetting the worker's name.

"Sigh* This isn['t the first time you forgot my name… but whatever, it's Kyon Ackerman, your good-for-nothing IT support chief."

"Ahem…. Mr. Ackerman, what are the intels you talked about earlier?"

Akerman stood up from the dark croner and showed the the government officials pixelated images of the enemy force.

"This isn't the time to joke around, these pixelated images tells us nothing about the enemies."

One of the senators complained.

"Shut up, gramps. Look carefully at these photos I've selected."

Ackerman shouted, as he continue to show the group pictures.

They were really poor quality photos of fully armed URF soldiers with the new battle suits.

"Still don't see it? Miss Chancellor?"

Ackerman asked as he points at the armband of each individual soldiers inside the black and white pictures.

Three horizontal lines with a three diamonds stacked in the middle. It was no doubt they were the United Royal Forces. However, what was different was the center of the design, it had a star instead of a flower.

"Remember that massive global movement before the Vril war? And everyone has forgotten?"

"No way… we never expected them to…."

One of the senators muttered in horror, as others began to whisper to each other.

"Do you understand now Miss Chancellor? This is neither a terrorist attack, nor a insurgency anymore. Its a civil war."

Serbatijan Empire



"We have been allies for a long time already, otherwise we wouldn't have been sent here. Veljo? What is the situation with other two divisions?"

"Im still trying to get to them commander."

Soldier said as he was still trying to connect to the other two partisan divisions

"There is a lot of static noise, someone must be interfering with the signals…"

Commander looked around nervously, thinking they aren't alone in these underground tunnels.
___

"Alright then, lead the way"
One pilot said to URA jet

JNA Sokol 1 jets would follow them

"Backup will soon arrive with aircraft carrier"
One JNA pilot mentioned

Serpentum



To: Miotia-Candor
"This is President Nicolae Danila of the Community of Serpenteum, requesting permission to aid your men with first aid, supplies, intel, and the military. We hope your country deals with this unknown threat swiftly, with or without us. Repeating message."

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor



"Miss Chancellor, it seems the CCTVs within central, are still functioning due to backup batteries."

The Chancellor was too busy directing officers to pay attention to the IT.

Sigh*

He turns his focus back to his tablet, a group of foreign troops could be seen with the night vision camera.

"Serbatis? What the hell are they doing there!?"

Ackerman shouted which has caught the attention of the room.

"Did something happen?"

Shinozaki asked.

"Hol up, Miss Chancellor."

He answered as he think and finally came up with a way to communicate with them.

"I gotta warning them about that goddamn [Harmony], who the hell even came up with such weapon in the first place…"

He muttered has he hacked into the camera, switching on and off as a morse code.

As the JNA troops advances in the underground tunnels, a loud high-pitch static noise could be hear from the speakers attached onto the walls of the dark tunnels.

Within a few seconds the static noise quickly changes to a man's voice.

"To the JNAs, this is your last warning. Return to your home nation, we do not wish to have a poor relation to an ally of the same ideology."

The commander notices a the lights on the CCTVs were turning on and off in a certain pattern, it wasn't long until the they figured out the code:

P-R-O-T-E-C-T-E-A-R-S

"You have ten seconds to answer. Leave or die"

The speakers announced.

To: Serpentum:
Please send supplies the civilians first, many of them has just escaped from the capital to costal cities.

Serbatijan Empire



JNA soldiers looked at eachother with confusion, Commander noticed the code and shouted

"MASK ON AND LIE DOWN!"

Soldier turned off the radio immediately and got behind a cover


Serpentum


The fast and efficient Serpent's cross medical unit is being escorted to the coast by the Serpentean air force.

"Chip, you see the CCTV down there? The flickering seems off, but you're in a better position to see. Anything?"
"Roger that Doe, its Morse code. Tell command we are taking a detour. Alright… echo, alpha romeo, sierra. That's all I can get right now, but it could be important. Let's catch up now."

People's Republic of Miotus-Kandory



"Die"

General Karl muttered through the microphone, then he gave the signal to activate [Harmony] within the tunnels.

It wasn't gas nor fluid, but wave vibration that began to engulf the tunnel from the other end.

Civilians and wounded troops within the central underground complex all suddenly stopped what they were doing and dropped down having seizure like symptoms. Within seconds, they started to vomit, and died with open eyes, just like the death of a goldfish.

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor



"MISS CHANCELLOR! It's ACTIVATED!"

Ackerman shouted as he quickly puts on his sound filter.

"EVERYONE PUT ON THE FILTER NOW!"

Shinozaki ordered as she put on hers.

The with the filter altering the soundwaves of the abandoned Candorian Psychological-Bioweapon of Mass Destruction, [Harmony]. The group has survived the soundwave pattern with slight headache.

"Everyone ok?"

___

The soundwave pattern quickly passed through the heavily armored troops of the Serbatijan empire. Leaving them as slight headache, nothing more.

The confused Serbatijan troops quickly got up as if nothing had happened, believing it to be a prank.

However as they advance, they notice corpses of civilians and soldiers laying on the inside the tunnels, they've died only moments ago.

Serbatijan Empire



Partisans got up, Commander pulled out his radio and called for JNA High Command

"It started! They are using harmony!"

The mesaage took while to be sent until commanders at JNA HQ got it.

"General! We got a message from partisan brigade in Miotia-Candor!"

Major Petar shouted

General Aleksandar approached him and asked

"What does it say?!"

"It says… Oh dear…"

Alexander approached the computer to read it

"They activated it already?! Inform Chief General Stepa immediately!"

"Yes sir!"

_

Sargeant Veljko got up and he didn't look happy of this shockwave that hit them
He got up and took his RPG and loaded it with semi-plutonic napalm rocket

"E sad ću da im jebem majku…"
He said as he stood in the middle of the tunnel

"What are you doing you moron?!"

The soldier fired the rocket as it made a lighting flash through the tunnel, it hit nearby some enemy soldiers with flames spreading infront of them. Sargeant shouted

"There are those f*g gooks! Return fire!"

Commander pulled him back to cover and aimed at them

"Give em hell!"

Serpentum



Another message has been sent.
"This is president Nicolae Danila of the Community of Serpenteum again. Our eyes in the sky noticed some Morse code saying EARS. If this is important, please say so. We have some pretty worrying reports of mass casualties recently, including civilians. What is going on? Thank you, and have a good day." Repeating message.

Kyaon



We announce that our Ground Forces has evacuated 1 900 000 peoples including 1148 Kyaoneses.
All those people are in the south of Hizuru, near the Kjanuan boundaries.
We thank all countries and ground forces that helped us. We thank Kjanu to welcome those people near his boundaries.

Our job isn't terminated yet, but a few part of the KATGA will stay with evacuated peoples to monitor and protect them.

The Celtic States



We are sending ships to help pick up refugees and take them away from the conflict we will also be sending in troops to help United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor as an ally we will help the best we can "we know this tech is way ridiculously advanced and we are out of our league but meh nothing a bottle of beer cant change" Captain Jack Kirby of The Celtic fleet currently sailing to help "we will get boots on the ground and help out the government deal with these enemy soldiers" meanwhile the arms manufacturing industry is working around the clock to bring fresh arms and ammunition to the front lines

People's Republic of Miotus-Kandory



"This is General Karl. I have a sad news to tell everyone to the republic. Unfortunately, despite our common ideology, the Serbatijan empire has turn out to be hostile. We were hoping for a peaceful socialist republic, however they Serbatijans has chose to support the weaken Fascist Regime."

Karl announced through the massive display in an hall room of a certain underground facility. The room was full of both milita and former URFs.

"Those weaklings called themselves Fascist. What did they themselves ever do? They've using us the people to build weaponries. After the introduction of machines, the society has abandoned us. What did they do with the weaponries? The Miotia-Candor already has enough to protect herself. What did those weaklings did? They formed the Rias Union and entered the Space Race with Meridian Commonwealth. all of these does seem nice doesn't it? From the point when Miotia-Candor has united, the Fascist has fell for compassion, and slowly being assimilate to into liberals without noticing a thing. Miotia-Candor needs a strong incorruptible regime, one that is truly treats everyone as equals. There's no place for machines."

Cheering could be heard from every corner of the hall.

"From now on, we will declare war against the current regime and the Wasaru Union that milked defence budget merciless out of our nation."

To: Kyaon
With a sudden change of weather, the ashes of the burning cities of the United Kingdom began to cover the skies of the southern region.

AC-130X and AH-1 Danger Noodle paint in red could be seen slowly deceasing from the ashes like a angel but in demon form Daikokuten.

Within seconds, the Red URF forces opened fired onto the Kyaonese forces.

To: The Celtic States
As the Celtic fleet enters Miotia-Candorian waters, a a bright light could be seen seen from the horizon for half a second.

The next moment, one of the Celtic Destroyer has been completed annihilated, crushed from front to back, leaving a melted hole in the center. The shockwave left by the railgun caused a few ship to crashed into other suffering minor damage.

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor



Senate Termina, Great Hall:

"It seems the enemy forces has began their move."

Ackerman reported as the Chancellor and the other officers were arming themselves.

"Expected time of arrival?"

Chancellor Shinozaki asked as she passes a Mauser C96 to him.

"About an 45 minutes, they're all equipped with battle suits that is ridcoulously similar to the battle suits of the former Imperial Serbatijan empire. Those kiddos must've copied their design while the loyalist stayed here during the civil war. Their capabilities are unknown…. Anyway what's with this gun? A c96? where the heck did your excellency got this from? You stole it from the memorial hall didn't you?"

"Take what you can, give nothing back."

"Miss Chancellor… Is that a pirates of th-"

"We don't have time for this, let's get going."

"What about the senators?"

"We'll split in two groups. Officer Zettour who is currently on lookout will guide the other group down the eastern stairway. While we will head down the southern stairway since the western block has collapsed."

The Chancellor explained.

"You do know that, they might be ambushes."

Ackerman stood up, putting on the bulletproof vest next to him.

"Instead of waiting for the enemy to kill us all, why don't we make our first offensive move?"

The young Chancellor replied as the other group slowly leaving the room through the eastern door.

"You do know that, the chance of us surviving once we arrive outside of this modern fortress is less than 5%. Even if the Serbatijan forces arrived, the chance of us leaving the capital is 0 due to the fact Edokyuuria is a walled fortress city that is capital of withstanding full Candorian invasion back in the days of the Miotian-Candorian war."

Ackerman said grimly as he put his tablet within an armored protective case.

"Ackerman…."

Chancellor Shinozaki called his name quietly, and slowly turned facing him.

"If we do not act, nothing will change. Even if it's the smallest chance of change, I'll charge right into it."

"…"

"Even miracles don't happen on their own. Mr. Ackerman"

10 minutes later, Ackerman and Shinozaki's group began walking down the stairs of the southern stairway.

To: Serpentum:

Neo-Tokyo Underground Complex:

"This is deputy head of state and the deputy head of the Old Miotian Imperial Force. Admiral Inaban in Neo-Toyko. We have little information about what's happening inland, such as the current situtation of Edokyuuria. However we do believed that a large portion of the United Royal Force has rebelled against us."

Serbatijan Empire



Meanwhile in the tunnels

The fighting proceeds as both sides return fire to one another. Then to a shock from the other end someome shouted

"PARTIZANI!"

It was Slavic, when commander took a peek he immediately crouched as RPG projectile flew over the soldiers hitting wall of the tunnel behind them. They looked again at to a shock saw a person wearing old Imperial Guard uniform with old standard PUŠKA 2 rifle.

"Jebeš mi mater… Fašisti!"
Velja mumbeld

"Control yourself ans return fire!"
Commander ordered furiously as he threw a grenade onto the other side.

Commander got into cover while he is now trying tо communicate with two partisan divisions on the surface.

The Celtic States



Captain Jack Kirby yells " holy shi- get contact with the government let them know we are on their side and all the rest of you we need to keep pushing toward the beaches we can mourn the dead later" the ships move in and deploy the amphibious land vehicles and hit the beaches " we will defend these refugees on the beaches men these coastal cities have to stand while our transport ships help the refugees escape if they need to

Serpentum



After the deaths of an unknown number of civilians, the Serpentean government is seriously considering a major intervention. Patriot and Military recruitment posters are everywhere. A vote was taken and 72% of the Serpentean people are in favor of sending men to Miotia-Candor. Another message has been sent.
"This is Danila once more. We are most likely going to be involved in this militarily in due time. Should that happen, is there anything we need to know about the rebels? Anything we may need to bring? We cant a Ford to be caught unprepared. Thank you, have a good day." Repeating message.

Kjanu



With such declarations and actions from the civil war in Miotia-Candor, and the status of Frontera in its War, The Kjanuan Government has taken over Rias Zone Government body to allow The Celtic States and Kyaon to replace Miotia-Candor and New Republic of Frontera as they struggle through crisis. The New Rias Government has declared its intent to liberate Frontera and Miotia-Candor from conflict and establish peace.

People's Republic of Miotus-Kandory


To Serbatijan Empire

"Unlike the United Kingdom, the People's republic gave us a the oppunitiy to oppose our mortal enemy."

"Vrijeme je za osvetu, boys."

The mercenary commander who was once a loyalist said calmly as he and his subordinates injects a drug onto their arms through hole in the modified Serbatijan Battle suit form the Imperial Era.

"Za imperij!"

The family-like mercenaries said in sync, as they look at each other for a moment smiling to each other.

"Don't die before me, Branislav"

"Ha, Ernest. I doubt you could even survive that long."

"Branislav, you just raised a flag."

"Duro, what are you talking about?"

"It's a common plot foreshadowing in animes."

"Duro…. you've been compelelted assmilated into the Miotian culture…"

The mercenaries laughed joyfully.

One last look to the memoize the face of those who they hold dear. the next moment, they've all jumped out of the shelter, and charged toward the JNA.

A JNA soldier started firing at the mercenaries, after a couple hits, the armor has been penetrated and Duro was shot in the lungs. However this did not stop him, thanks to the stolen Candorian experimental painkiller earlier.

_

To Kyaon

The 2 Arsenal Rays X-47B carrier of the United Republic Airforce has been deployed to the region. Total 160 X-47Bs will swarm the area within half an hour.

"Surrender now, There is no escape."

Former Minister of Defence Claus Hindenburg said in the transmittion that was sent to Kyaon

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor



Meanwhile in the Senate Terminal.

The Senators and the officers are carrying out their escape plan….

"In coming in 5, 4, 3, 2, now."

Ackerman looking at the CCTV views through his tablet reported the enemy's movement and location quietly to the officer Sutsushi, who then threw a grenade down the hallway.

The grenade exploded and immobilized the United Republic Force.

"Now."

Ackerman whisper, as other officers began to charge forward. After a turn in the hallway, the officer shot the enemies with silencers.

After the team ensuring the hallway is cleared, Chancellor Shinozaki and the other senators slowly followed.

"Up ahead we can see the lobby clearly from the fifth floor. They might be able to see us."

Ackerman explained as he kept checking through the CCTV by using his tablet.

"If they can see us, we will be able to see them."

Shinozaki replied as she take the led.

"Just how did you survive all those solo operation back when you were with the secret police years ago…"

Ackerman asked, not expecting a reply.

The officers slowly opens the door. A massive 6 stories tall hall could be seen, with only sunlight lighting the lobby.

"Get DOWN!"

Officer Sutsuhi warned as she leap over and pushed Shinozaki off the side. right after she notice something shining in the distance. The next moment, as blood splatter across the floor, her left arm fell was broken off by a hollow-point bullet from the opposite direction of the room.

She screamed painfully, but quickly contain the pain by holding tight and forcing all the feeling onto her luger.

"Sutsushi!"

The Chancellor called her as she watches blood and other matter spill from her broken arm in horror. Blaming herself, the Chancellor quickly tore her sleeve and used it as bandage for the officer.

"I'll be a burden, You and the senators…. must live…."

Sutsushi muttered calmly, hidden her pain as tears started to flow from her eyes.

"MISS CHANCELLOR! We must leave! NOW!"

Ackerman shouted as he provide cover for the group from behind.

"Your excellency, we must go now!"

One of the officer said.

To someone like Chancellor Shinozaki, who was a veteran assassin that act independently in the past. She is unable to make a decision in such situtation. Leave her behind? Taker her with them?

"Shinozaki!"

One of the senator called, as they began to retreat back to the hallway.

Engulfed by Responability, Stress, and Guilt. Shinozaki hesitated.

"Here, officer Kayoin, take the Senators to safety. I'll take care of them."

Ackerman said as he gave his tablet to Office Kayoin, who led the others to safety.

"Pathetic."

Ackerman commented on the Chanceller in despair.

He quickly took out his phone.

"Well, then. Don't be like me, staying up late is bad for your body."

Ackerman muttered to the enemies as he pressed a button his phone which connected to the curtain mechanism in the lobby.

The curtains quickly dropped and darkness quickly swallowed the room.

Ackerman immediately carries Sutsushi on his back.

"Let's get out of here while we can, you pathetic piece of crap."

Ackerman whispered to the Chancellor, which caused her to come back to her senses.

"…"

The three quickly moved to safety in to the western hallway before search lights were lit up.

To Internatiomal

"This is deputy head of state Admiral Inaban. Currently we've lost control of 7 ACRSs. We've captured the ACRS in Sieg, however it is not operational due to the damaged power lines. It would take at least 12 hours until we can provide cover fire from those railguns. Meanwhile please change your fleet formation to submarine warfare formation. That'll decrease the chance of getting hit."

The transmission was on going, but Inaban hesitated for a moment. A an expression of a distrust and discomfort could be seen on her face.

"We will now declassify the illegal bio-psychological weapon [Harmony] that was developed secretly from the world by the Candorian military."

Serpenteum



"What in the world is this piece of garbage we are wearing?"
"Hell if I know, man. But didn't the officer say something about sound weapons?"
"What are the chances of coming across one though? Think about it. I doubt they have too many of the things and they are probably occupied in the front against the others."
"Can you repeat that? A little louder?"
"Forget it. The officer is coming."

War has become nearly inevitable in the eyes of Serpenteum. The military is mobilized and battle tactics are being drawn. The final message has been sent to Miotia-Candor: confirmation that the Loialazboinici is on its way.

Serbatijan Empire



"They have outdated equipment! We can do this boys just focus!"

Velja shouted to the soldiers

Commander was still trying to contact the two divisions on the surface, since he wasn't able to he is now trying to contact JNA High Command

"Šumadinac where are you, answer me!"

Static noise…

"Do you hear me you son of a b!tch?!"

Static noise becomes louder until a man spoke

"Gentlemen! Partisans!"

Commamder's heart sank like a rock, he immediately recognizes the voice on the radio

"What? No greetings to your old Emperor? Doesn't matter, you will be dead soon…"

Radio turned off, it was old Serbatijan emperor Alexander. Radio turned on again, it was prince Martin, Alexander's brother

"Gospodo Partizani… Kako ste? Nadam se da vam je ljepo… Ne brinite se… Jebaćemo vam majku…."
As he said that laughing can be heard in the backround

"Turn that sh!t off!"
Velja shouted as from the two sides of the tunnel shouting can be heard

"Ojjj Partizani! Crni su vam došli dani!"
It was common taunt used by imperialists to irritate the communists.

Shoots can be heard from both sides of the tunnel as imperialistis approached them

"ZOVI ŠUMADINCA PIZDA MU MATERINA!"
Velja shouted to commander as he was trying to communicate with JNA High Command again.

Partisan soldiers returned heavy fire, one soldier fired a napalm rocket on one side to slow down imperialist movement on one side at least.

Commander finally got in touch with JNA High Command

"ŠUMADINAC! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"
Commander shouted

"Yes i do, whats happening over there?!"

"It's the Chetniks! They are back! We need help! Try to contact division 2 and 3!"

"CHETNIKS?! Okay will do right away!"

Major Šumadinac immediately contacted 2 partisan divisions and ordered them to get to the tunnels as quick as possible.

Later Major contacted Chief General Stepa to inform him about situation in Miotia-Candor, while he was still in Frontera commanding troops there.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE BACK?"
Stepa shouted

"I don't know they are! What do w-"

Static noise on the radio

"WHAT IS GOING ON? YOU THERE?"
Stepa asked

Static noise turned to emperor's voice

"Zdravo Stepo…. Kako si?"

Stepa remained silent and his face showed grief and anger

"Could you at least say hello?"
Alexander asked

"F**k you…"
Stepa replied

"Heh, your character is fascinating… Tell me Stepa, why did you betray me back in Igalo?"

"You know why you rat, why did you kill Sava? If it wasn't for him your "empire" wouldn't have even existed…he was a good general and a good friend…"

"He was a communist scumbag like you, like Tito, and like everyone else… When im back on the throne i will f**k up every single one of you rats…"

"Over my dead body you will you son of a b!tch…"
Call ended….

Kyaon



All divisions and Assault Units are away from the aimed zone.
The DAICHI AU is helped by RENCHI AU and CHIBU AU, all these AU are composed of 6 millions soldiers.
The city is actually semi-circled and a new armor with new weapons were given to soldiers to test them in the war zone.
It's effective.
RENCHI AU S-1 is sent in the northeast, CHIBU AU S-1-2-4 in northwest and DAICHI AU A is moving north.
32 Fighter Jet of the IKARI A S-1-2 are moving to the war zone.

"There is no escape, to leave you win. You can continue your entertaining game, but you will never win it. The strongest force in a nation is the Assault Unit, 40% of our Army is composed of AU, you can't win in front of a Ground Force that make war every day."
Says Konan Barando, Minister of Kyaonese Armies, responding to the transmittion of Claus Hindenburg.

The Force that's on the way to Kotoamatsukami changes of direction to Kjanuan boundaries, it's better to evacuate the population near
Kjanuan lands.

Tlanyuca



After much deliberation, the Commonwealth of Tlanyuca has decided to intervene in the Miotian Civil War on the side of Miotus-Kandory. The Tlu Navy(Tlucje Hūaaĺl-Pańfeśetś) will send ships to escort supplies and neutral aid to the region, but will not engage in direct combat.

As the Tlu supply ships prepares to dock at a Miotus-Kandorian dock, the head ship explodes just a few miles off shore. The explosion sends pieces flying everywhere damaging several other Tlu ships. The THP Is immediately called in by the shocked supply ships. However, before they could arrive, 4 of the 6 remaining ships are seized by Kandorian troops with a 5th escaping and the last being torpedoed. THP ships begin to return fire immediately before the captains realized their situation. Soon after, the warships began to retreat. Overall, 2 Tlu supply ships and 4 captured with a couple warships taking heavy damage. Once news reaches Copī Sĺala, Tlanyuca immediately begins to mobilize against Miotus-Kandory. War comes to Tlanyuca yet again…

Praefectus



A PUBLIC MESSAGE
TO THE WARRING SIDES OF THE MIOTIA-CANDOR CIVIL WAR
Once again, innocent people lie within the crosshairs. The Fleet has already begun preparations for disembarkment, thus we are seeking a guarantee from the opposing sides of the war to allow a Peace Mission to evacuate civilians to safe zones that would be established upon the arrival of the Corps.

To Praefectus
Tlanyuca Fully supports this action and will do everything in it's power to help

Kyaon



Change of plan

The 2nd Division that is near the Kjanuan boundaries received the order to go in Kotoamatsukami.
The SENTO AU S-1-2-3-4-5 are sent in Kotoamatsukami with the necessary equipment. All the evacuated population is left in front of Kjanuan boundaries with a medium Ground Force to protect them.

This order was commanded by the Marshall in charge of UKMC War, Ajin Shiorata

The Celtic States



The arms and ammunition supply lines are coming in by ship we have gas masks(why not) guns, ammunition, grenades etc. We will try to distribute our supplies to our allies that are also fighting. Our men are currently helping defend Sirg since there is an ARS their our ships will provide supplies and cover fire while we are defending it

We are also sending our best engineers to try and help fix that ACRS and get it ready for use


People's Republic of Miotus-Kandory


Edokyuuria Underground Complex

"Za imperij!"

Branislav shouted as he started firing at the JNA, taking a multi hits, until the bullets penetrated into his helmet.

Branislav slowly fell onto the floor as his comrades continued to charge forward fearlessly.

Duro started to open fire on the JNA as blood slowly leak from his wound while he charge toward the enemy.

"PARITZANI!"

Duro quickly threw away his rifle and began close combat with the JNA as he passes the defence line.

"That's it, Duro! Devote everything into this fight!"

Ernest shouted as he too switched to close combat gear. He quickly broke and knocked the helmet of on of the JNA soldier.

He knocked down the JNA soldier and aimed the blade at the man's throat.

"Nothing personal, This is for my sister."

Ernest muttered mercilessly.

United Republic Force (URF) Underground HQ, Location: Unknown:

"General Karl, The Emperor has revealed himself."

His secretary, Eugen reported.

"…"

"May I ask your excellency why did you help those imperialist."

Karl didn't not reply, he left his seat and walked over to the window to get a view of the underground city.

"They did allow us to study their technology, I simply returned the favour to help them."

The General answered as he stare at his reflection from the window.

"I believe there will be a chance that we might start a world war accidentally, sometime in the future."

Secretary Eugen commented, then he flips to the second page of his report.

"No worries, a spy has followed them aboard, when we sent them off back then."

"…"

"It was the government's backup plan to use the emperor's power to united the loyalist to make them fight for Miotia-Candor. This plan was discard after the news of the Emperor is going to head to The Varian Realm"

"Operation…. assimilation…"

"The emperor cannot turn against us, he knows. He knows we've sent someone to follow him."

Karl explained as he went and sat back at the conference table.

"Next, The Rias union has responded to our declaration of war. The Celtic States has sent their naval forces as Kyaon takes control of the southern regions."

"How did our URSDF responded?"

The general asked as he organizes his documents on the table.

"They've fired Edokyuuria's ACRS and destroyed one of The Celtic States's destroyers."

The secretary reported as he flipped the pages slowly, making sure to not make a mistake.

"Good, keep them out of range. We need to hurry up on to completely out trump card…."

The General muttered as he pack his documents into his folder.

"The engineers are already on it, your excellency. Next, we have potential nations that may interfere with us… Praefectus and Tlanyuca"

"How so?"

"Tlanyuca has sent a fleet into our waters without notice. However, they've been dealt with with our military strength. The problem is with Praefectus. They wish for permission to land and evacuate citizens."

"Praefectus? Where is that?"

General the looked confused after hearing the secretary's report.

"It's a nation from the eastern continent, sir. We rarely heard from them."

"We never had any diplomatic relations with them to begin with. Tell them to leave us alone."

"Understood."

The secretary answered, then he left the room.

Transmission from a Arsenal Ray.

"This is proxy transmission from one of our Arsenal Rays. Praefectus and Tlanyuca please stay out of this. We do not wish to worsen our relations. If you do proceed, that will leave us no choice but to attack."

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor



Senate Terminal, Lobby Hall fifth floor, Office 230:

"Just what were you thinking!?"

Ackerman shouted, as he grabbed the Chancellor by the collar.

"…"

"What was that crap from earlier? you could've gotten all of us killed!"

"…"

Not saying a thing, Shinozaki looks at Sutsushi who was resting on the floor. The bleeding seem to have stopped.

"Sigh, whatever. I never knew we were ruled by such a weak dictator. At this point, I don't even care for the future of this nation."

Ackerman commented as he released Chancellor Shinozaki, and went over to check on Sutsushi.

"Dual Constitutional Monarchy? United Kingdom? Who are you kidding. One country two system, it never worked efficiently in the first place. The founders came up with this fascist regime to establish a semi-dictator that manages of both The Miotian Empire and the Candorian Kingdom. Because Democratic legislation never worked in the first place due to its time consumption, both Miotian and Candorian has to agree on something to pass. This was simply impossible…."

He paused and turned around to glare at Shinozaki.

"But you! Despite the failed attempt to create a democratic nation by the previous Chancellors. You still aim to do it. Putting the military under congress? Not helping to restore the Imperial Serbatijan empire, but to acknowledge the Serbatijan Republic. How did it turn out in the end? We all know the answer. They've turned against you, Miotia-Candor does not need a Chancellor who is fond of democracy…… It was a timed bomb. They weren't able to assassinate you because you're one yourself, and you have the support of the people. However, the tides has turned. With the help of top sciences, Serbatijan loyalist, and other anti-liberal groups, they've gain enough strength to snap this weak black and white banner."

Ackerman continued as he peek outside form the curtains of the office. Two URF could be seen from the floor below with search light.

"You were born and chosen to be a fascist leader by the pure gene research institution. Act like one."

After hearing what Ackerman said, Shinozaki awakens from her despair and grabbed him by the collar furiously.

"How did you know about that!?"

She asked angrily, her hands shaking.

"What do you mean?"

Ackerman asked with a smirk.

In an instant, Shinozaki notice the insignia of the pure gene research institution tattooed in his right eye.

"You..!"

Shinozaki backed off from him as he fixed his glasses.

"Sigh… seems like you found out…. I suppose this one is no good too huh? Well, we might just have to get another copy after all this…"

Ackerman muttered as he took out his c98 and aimed at Shinozaki.

"What do you mean by that…."

Shinozaki asked furiously.

"Did you actually think you survived the Vril war? The explosion in Kanatoro?"

Ackerman asked.

"What do yo… I'm here. Aren't I?"

"Of course you are, Shinozaki Haru Weiss No.02"

Ackerman replied, as Shinozaki reacted a horrified expression

"What… are you… implying…."

Shinozaki asked as backs off slowly.

"You're a clone. We've only implanted the memory onto your new body."

"I'm a …. clone of my original self? No way. Please tell me you're joking."

Shinozaki fearfully backed off to a office desk behind.

"In fact, the previous you… or the original Shinozaki Haru Weiss isn't even the original."

He explained as he continue to aim at the Chancellor.

"I don't get it…. If I'm not a… a actual person… then what about Inaban! Admiral Inaban, my sister!?"

Shinozaki asled, she continues to resist the words of Ackerman.

"sigh…. well, you see. She is technically your mother."

Chancellor Shinozaki's heart sank as she kneed on the ground.

"Years back, we took genes of newborns, and cloned the purest one. We've engineered you to have higher resistance to radiation, and diseases than an average human. After the first of your clones has been born, we've been conducting human experiments on your 'older sisters' and finally you, Shinozaki Haru Weiss was born, a human with a better corpus callosum compare to others. We then introduced you to the Inaban household as a kidnapped lost long child."

Ackerman explained coldly as he lower his aim to the Shinozaki on the floor.

"I was… born… to be the ruler… of this …."

Shinozaki look down on the floor, trying to remember the memories she has forgotten.

"Don't feel bad, it's the same with the previous Chancellors, only the fact that they've never tried to betray the government itself. Well this has proved that the there were errors. And errors must be fixed."

Ackerman said gently, as he walks toward Shinozaki.

"Does Inaban knows about this?"

Shinozaki asked quietly.

"No."

Ackerman replied as he force the chemical bullet loaded gun onto her forehead.

"What's true name?"

Shinozaki asked emotionlessly.

"Dr. Reinhold"

The room darkens as the last of the electronics used up the last of their battery.

After Darkness engulfed the room. A gunshot could be heard.

*Cliffhanger*

Neo-Tokyo Underground complex:

To:Praefectus
"This is Admiral Inaban, deputy head of state. We will only allow your forces to land if only your forces does reach the minimum standard protection gear. It's bioweapon we're talking about here."

Neo-Tokyo Underground complex:

__To:Serpenteum __

"This is as much as we could do for you from here. We wish you the best of luck"

"There should be Old Imperial forces in Sieg, they'll guide you to the damaged ACRS."

Serbatijan Empire



"Miči ruke s njega kučin sine!"
Velja shouted as he pulled out his army sword hitting the man on the head breaking his helmet and putting him on the ground then stabbing him in the chest

The JNA soldiers were quickly being overrun until two partisan divisions finally arrived to the tunnel hitting the imperialists hard pushing them back and regaining strength in numbers.

"Soldiers! Swords out! Give them the blood they desire much!"
Commander shouted

Partisans pulled out their swords while one division maintained fire in the enemies. After a fierce battle most of the imperialists were killed while some ran away.

"Everyone okay?"
Commander asked

"As always…"
Veljo said as he light up a cigarette

Commander approached URF soldiers to see if they were okay

One soldier jokinly told Veljo
"Why don't you leave that sh!t already?"

"Oh this isn't sh!t, it's filter Chrvatska, one of the best in my opinion"
Velja said with a laugh

"Enough joking boys, let's go to the Senate Terminal."
Commander said
_
At JNA High Command

Door opened furiously, it was President Tito

"What is this sh!t i hear about Chetniks? What's going on and why wasn't i informed earlier"
He said as he approaches major Šumadinac

"I don't know sir… They are back, that's all we know so far…"

"What's the situation in Miotia-Candor?"

"They managed well and are heading to Senate Terminal."

"Good."

Aircraft Carrier "Nova Nada" finally arrived in Miotian waters

"Come on move your asses come on!"
Captain Janko of 9th Naval Squadron ordered as pilots got into the planes.

There are 50 Sokol fighter jets in total and are gonna be deployed shortly under the order of Chief General Stepa.

Praefectus



We understand that relations between our nations have been non-existent up until this point, but we are urging you to reconsider. We are not trying to interfere with anyone’s war efforts, we are simply trying to minimize the loss of life. For the sake of your people’s safety, and for the sake of humanity, allow us passage.

Serpentum



There was no warning. Before artillery struck, before the planes started bombing, an army of 200,000 Patriots charged in the direction of Ryujin, guns ablaze. The artillery was still mostly inactive but shells that were fired were precise. A speech by Danila himself had inspired them not long ago. The nearly fearless militiamen had launched the first stage of the offensive against the red URF in Miotia-Candor.

Kyaon



Kyaonese Forces take land, DAICHI AU, RENCHI AU and CHIBU AU with all Sections advance slowly but surely near the north.

The SENTO AU S-1-2-3-4-5 approach the Kotoamatsukami zone, they will circle the city to eliminate all potential enemies in the zone, then they'll use the ACRS.

We have only one problem, we lack doctors in our ranks, but the Government published many publicities to make donations and send messages to all great doctors to go on the war zone and help our army.
For now we receive good donations, but the whole is insufficient and few doctors are ready to help Kyaonese forces.

So, the Government thinks they will probably call Kjanu and other Rias members to send us doctors. This project isn't concrete, but if nations are volunteers to start this project and help us, we won't refuse. Thanks.

The Celtic States



The cheif engineer for TCS Navy looks at the ACRS and says "ok so all we need to do is fix the cable lines and that seems easy enough" the men begin fixing the cable lines "this weapon will give us at least something to use against the rebels" meanwhile in the bay more Kraken class destroyers come in as the one's that are their are repaired. The commander in charge of the Navy says "I want our ships in tip top shape so we are ready for anything we'll never know when the enemy will attack".

Kjanu



To Kyaon:
Kjanu will provide doctors and aid relief to help save civilians from such a violent conflict. We will establish many safe zones in populated areas to prevent the loss of life.

Tlanyuca



Tlanyuca returns to the sight where her ships were attacked with a vengeance. Admiral of the 1st International Assault Fleet, Ĺeropjat Baańja, departs from Jopto with a fleet consisting mainly of Tyśpic Class Assault Battleship and Cjarcnih Class Assault Carrier with destroyers and cruisers in case of enemy contact. Their goal is to assault the coast of Miotus-Kandory. In addition, Admiral Baańja with the aid of Admiral Cral is also escorting personnel carriers and supply ships to aid the war effort on land.

Kyaon



All of Kyaon thanks you very much. The Government will be ready to repay you if there are incidents of doctors dead in the war zone, because we take a big responsibility.

The two candidates for the next Presidential Elections have made a speech about this event,
Orokido Masen: "Kjanu is a great peaceful nation, we should take example about their system. But Kjanu is still a country like others, this is what I'm worried about. We should stop this war, Rias Zone became a non-reasonable union. We must stop spending our army and praise the Social Policies to help our population in this hard tape named "The Economic Growth" !"

Baku Asenjisen: "Don't blame Kjanu. This peaceful and careful nation is an example for all of us, indeed, but we must not stop this war while we are going to win this war and restore peace in Miotia-Candor. We need to increase our military spending and reform the KATGA system, to ensure the protection of Kyaon, and the peacekeeping in Rias."

Read dispatch

Inaban Weiss Fuyu became the deputy head of state for a while until a new parliament was elected, and Mashiro Fuyuki of the Moeist Democratic Union of Candor came to power. Turing the United Kingdom into a centrist state with impressive freedoms and rights. Mashiro has also declassified a lot of documents.

Fuhrer Chancellor was changed to Grand Chancellor.

After a sudden outbreak of P5S3 in Inaritetsugen, north of Puppare. Inaban sent the old imperial force to investigate, only to find inhumane experiments and tragic creatures in PGRI site 13. They've also retrieved a USB containing most of site 13's research, including the technology to improve ACRS, harmony, P5S3, cloning, Arsenal Rays, etc.

During the Serpenteum civil war, the extremist forces invaded Tir A Deas, a Kjanuan nation. Which lead to a large-scale ACRS operation against the invasion, eliminating most vehicles.

Pupatorian Royal Dress

Kjanu joined the United Kingdom sometime in 2019 April. Making Miotia-Candor becoming a World Union member. According to GC Mashiro, being the first capitalist nation within the WU was stressful.
A massive protest in Kjanu was taken place in response to the twin kingdom's military expansion onto the Kjanuan state. The protestors demand the demilitarizations of the Kjanuan region and censorship of violence in anime. While demilitarization was agreed upon. The New Senate Terminal, questions Kjanu's freedom of speech. The twin kingdom did not agree to ban militaristic anime, state that they were made by private companies not the government and it is one's right to express their opinion.

In a massive protest in Etsuyoki, Shan's landing, Kjanu was wiped out by a typhoon, killing 2 million. In truth, the Kjanuan government sent robots to massacre and silence the city.
Deputy Minister of Defence Inaban's first officer, Akina Koutetsujou was sent to Jezabelstien to talk with the mysterious superpower.

Exactly a month later, Due to her recklessness, Inaban was demoted back to Admiral. The airforce led by Hirosei Hana, and the army led by Nick Heller conducted a raid at the naval HQ in Sieg, hoping to acquire the USB that contained all of PGRI's research, to improve on UKMC's military.
While Admiral Inaban believed the USB should be locked away, Hirosei of the airforce and Heller of the army had different views.
The raid led to the meeting of Shinozaki, Inaban, and Tatiana who three were the same person. Tatiana was also a Inaban clone, similar to Shinozaki but made solely for the purpose to kill, she had no emotions. When Tatiana of the army's special ops: Tod attack Inaban who was escaping the naval base with the USB, Inaban was saved by the sudden reappearance of Shinozaki.
The two were no match for Tatiana's regenerative abilities, luckily the fight was stopped by the Kaiser. The USB was handed over to the imperial house's keeping.

Hours later, Jonas Kuhn, a man who was there during the typhoon in Etsuyoki, reappeared in Serpenteum and killed the president, triggering a potential world war between FTF and WU. This stopped the internal fighting. Due to the focus of the internal fighting, most of the United Kingdom's military were stationed on the coast, Serpenteum caught the United Kingdom unprepared, which invaded a large proposition of Hinomoto, and took over two ACRS fortress.

Shinozaki and the MP were tasked with the investigation of the Jonas family. Discovering the memory alteration of the Kjanuan clone. Jonas's wife and daughter had no memory of the protests nor the typhoon. It is suggested by Sutsushi of the MPs that Jonas Kuhn might know something no one else in the United Kingdom does.

After a series of railgun exchanges between the UK's ACRs and occupied ones, the Serpentuem forces fired a shot at the Amaterasu power relay station, blacking out the entire nation.

Sometime in early 2019, SSS 2nd Branch and the Yotsubishi Heavy Industry were tasked with the construction of a certain underground water fortress in the New Republic of Frontera. From the delayed construction and the use of second-hand units, the Yotsubishi Corporation was paid with a large amount of money from the certain right-winged Fronteran party. To expand SSS influence in the region.

Hacking through the records and files of the Candorian Intelligence Agency, from Etsuyoki incident theory to several anomalous events caused by the south.
The threat of Kjanu, Commonwealth, and its clueless World Union allies becomes clearer than ever.
Additionally, North Electrica's ARC industries advancements really did put Yotsubishi Corporation on thin ice.
It is suspected by the SSS 1st branch, Kjanu will take the lead of the United Kingdom right after the failures of protecting Hinomoto Prefecture from Serpentuem forces.

A joint project with the remnants of Kyaon, in a false promise of rebuilding their country was started. Establishing the secret Kyaon branch of both the SSS and Yotsubishi Corporation. The revivalist Kyaonese were exiled out of the 18 districts after Minervaindexca's construction. While they are still given free healthcare, they are not allowed to own residences within the 18 districts.
Kyaonese who moved on joined Minervaindexa in the 3 utility districts.

Through a loophole within the nationalistic economic policies, the Yotsubishi Corporation was able to avoid being taxed by Edokyuuria when they do their business overseas. Still without electricity and lack of communication, on December 21, 2019, Yotsubishi Corporation and [REDACTED] forces fired a missile at the plane which carried Corporation's overseers from the government. The plane crashed off the coast of Pivolin. Edokyuuria only learns of the incident months after the war, suspecting it to be either a missile strike from Jezabelstein or a disguised Fengese FTF warship.
In between the time without Edokyuuria's surveillance, Yotsubishi transported a large number of students, researchers, and professor refugees to Minervaindexca.
An entity that secretly dedicates all technological advancement to both the Yotsubishi Corporation and the SSS foundation.

Sometime during August, an extraterrestrial object crash-landed in Feng. Turning out to be very human. Days later another vessel of the same origin landed in the capital, a species named Calracar warns the Feng dynasty of the incoming Valrassari invasion.
During this time, Asteroid Ship Tiamat picked up unusual EM waves from the sensors believing them to be anomalies, observing them with curiosity. The 9 km-long anomalies entered the helios system and destroyed nearby probes, which raises suspicions of them being artificial.
When the anomaly group reaches Aurora Gas giant orbit, a plasma beam was fired at Tiamat, luckily Tereza Row, ordered the ignition of the busters in time, only melting a thin layer of ice of the surface of the 3.3km long ark. At the cost of thousands of lives due to the unstable gravity during ignition. A distress signal was sent throughout the system.
Tiamat fired ACRS-Ts at the invading Valrassari forces, destroying smaller vessels, however, the motherships were protected by multiple layers of plasma shields which makes them difficult to penetrate. Deploying 4 Haruna class combat satellites equipped with nuclear reactors, the beam weapons of the 4 Haruna acted as AA.

During this time 9 more motherships appeared in orbit of Northern Utopia attacking cities of nations, Jezabelstien ramed a massive rocket into one and took over the ship within hours.
The invasion of the United Kingdom began at Seig, at the time, there was still no power due to the Serpentuem attack. While the civilians evacuate via shinkansen, the remaining URA had a hard time defending the city and were defeat later.
URN Taihou tried to resist but was sank by a powerful positron beam.

Commonwealth's battleship Champion and 2 Thunderchild class entered the battle, by firing torpedos through a surprise attack. The Valrassari forces sent out drones that drill into hulls and invades the insides of Tiamat. While most were taken out on the surface by Trashcan bots, a team of special operatives was sent down to the area to destroy it.
While the internal fighting was going on, the Commonwealth forces suffered a lot from the drill drones. However, they did disable the mothership in the end.

The Valrassari forces invaded through the massive underground caves, destroying the Seig branch SSS facility and releasing SSS-039 into the caves as a result. The underground invasion forces were destroyed by Babel's core later with an invisible beam.
On the ground, the invasion of Edokyuuria began, as civilians all fleed to the senate terminal/babel. A collectively charged positron beam was all directed at the central senate terminal, turning it into white light. However the light began to fall one by one, they were drone shields. Before the Valrassari forces can recharge, a machine sound resembling a heartbeat and a loud high pitch scream before a spark of light could be seen at the top of the megastructure.
One by one the Valrassari cruisers melted through, not before long, the ships began to fall out of the sky, crashing into their forces. Revealing the Senate Terminal to be one of the 13 Seraph.
The Valrassari decides to use their superweapon on the Miotia-Candorian capital, a light brighter than the sun could be seen moments before the entire greater Edokyuuria metropolis melted and creating a crater. Exterior damaged, however still standing, the Senate Terminal fired back at the remaining forces.

Due to the sudden mutiny within the Valrassari forces, the invasion was called off, ending the war. However, as of now, Edokyuuria remains a massive crater lake with ruins of skyscrapers, at the center of this massive body of water the Senate Terminal, nearly undamaged.

While Mashiro, Victoria, Else, and Nicola were in the Chancellor's office as the evacuation of civilians back on land starts.
Shinozaki, Lionheart, and Sustsuhi were underground in the abandoned sector all this time. When they reach the surface they realized they were trapped in a mall surrounded by water with the city gone. While Shinozaki and Lionheart try to construct a raft, Sutsuhi went into the mall, to her workplace to see whatever's left as she remembers nostalgic events from 2018. page=rmb/postid=36337923

Sometime in September, the SSS foundation caught news of the commonwealth's SDII hiding stones with a strange power, an anomaly in the north. The facility is covered by a massive dome built by the commonwealth. The shrine only appears during a lunar eclipse. MTF-Ooryu was sent to spy and steal from the SDII black site. However, they were encounter by CAT7, SDII's defectors who had the same goal as them. The SSS reactor fast, and blind the CAT7 for a while, the MTF-Ooryu fought with the CAT7 as they enter the SDII sight.
Upon entering the containment chamber, a temple of yet-to-discover civilization could be seen at the center.
MTF-Ooryu ditched the CAT7 and now quietly entering the shrine from its sides.
Killing many SDII scientists and archeologists, the MTF-Ooryu successfully arrived at the altar. Just when the MTF agents were about to get their hands on them, a CAT7 agent grabs hold of one of the stones, Tempus the time stone. As more and more CAT7 reinforcement enters, an SSS VTOL blew a hole in the ceiling of the containment site, allowing the MTF-Ooryu division to escape swiftly with 5 of the stones.
Each stone is then delivered to a different containment facility.

Meanwhile, on a Jezabelstien surface near the coast of the United Kingdom, Akima climbed out of the hatch, he was given a raft to reach the shores of ruins...

The Last Arc of Season 1 is not summarized, and most likely will never be due to the heavy details, and character developments.

Right outside of UKMC waters/Alien Invasion Afermath-UKMC Beach Episode Part 1
"Brilliant. Now I'm on a raft."
Akima complained as he sees the last of the Selene Class submerged and returned to the ocean leaving him near the United Kingdom's waters.
"Well, at least's there's a bloody motor installed."
He muttered as he takes out a map and a compass. He then looks at the horizon. Seeing the bearly holding together Rias International Space Elevator.
"Well, the Rias Elevator is there, so there's that..."
Using the massive structure as referance he starts up the motor and headed east.
"This is going to take a while isn't it?"
The craft advances east as the bright sunlight shines upon him.
"Feels like it's been forever since I see some blue skies, blue sky is nice... but..."
He sighed.
"In the end, they reject the radiation reduction plan didn't they..."
He muttered, having flashbacks of Jezabelstien rejecting the environmental protection plan.
"Armed maids are cute. Maybe I should visit my old friend Fredrick and talk about this since he works in Edoyuuria Ani now."

Soon land can be seen on the horizon.
"Land ahoy!"
He shouted in excitement, but that excitement died down when he saw deformed, melted structures. It was a metropolis sized ghost town and ruins.
Recognizing the beheaded massive anime statue tourist hotspot when his craft passed the bay, there was no doubt, it was Seig.
turning the craft to head north, to where the naval academy once stood, he hopes to find something, anything there.
But suddenly his craft crashed on something and capsized, throwing him into the water.
When he surface again he realized he hat hit a floating scrape of metal.
Turning around, he realizes there were scrapes everywhere. They seem to had belonged to a ship of some sort.
Fixing his craft, he climbed onto it with the help of the floating debris.
Slowly navigating into the port of the former naval headquarters.

There wasn't much other than a massive crater from deformed melted structures. It wasn't much of a port now, more like a beach.
"I heard the Alien invasion was bad, but I didn't-"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw what he had feared the most.
Right before him, URN Taihou flagship of the navy was half deformed and merged with the environment.
"no... no..."
He muttered, just a step away from a complete breakdown.
"The crew must've escaped I'm sure of it."
He tries to comfort himself as he slowly approaches the deformed hanger bay.
Everything on the starboard has been burnt and deformed from extreme heat. Even though he knows the chance of anyone surviving is low he kept looking for crewmembers.
Originally expected to be a good day coming back to this place where he calls home after being sent to Jezabelstien.
Opening airlocks one by one, burnt corpses of the ship's crew can be seen. Burnt to a point it's unrecognized able.
Arriving at the cafeteria, where he and the pilots fought over the head chef's special,
Arriving at the Engine Rooms, where the bridge crew always gets scold by the engine staff.
Arriving at the library, where he and other crewmembers used to hid questionable magazines in the shelf.
Arriving at the deck, where he and the crew would wash the deck as they race across the helicopter destroyer.
Everywhere he looked nothing but horrifying biotic and abiotic deformed horrors.
Their struggle to live could be seen through their burnt and harden posture.
Counting the casualties, it was certain that more than half of the crew is no longer in this world.
Keeping a bright smile and optimistic view he keeps looking, as every moment he is on the ship, his sanity is being chipped away slowly.
Rejecting despair, he continues to cling onto hope dangerously.
Someone must've survived right? Someone must've survived right? Someone must've survived right? Someone must've survived right? Someone must've survived right?
Someone must've survived right? Someone must've survived right? Someone must've survived right? Someone must've survived right? Someone must've survived right?

_________________________________________

Every step he climbs, his heartbeat increases. The bridge is just right up ahead, he thought as he continues to climb the slope, what suppose to be stairs.
Every step he climbs, his false excitement increase.
Every step he climbs, his sanity gets eaten away by the reality he sees.
Every step he climbs, his homesickness gets better.
Every step he climbs, he gets closer to home, the bridge. Where admiral Inaban scolds him for no particular reason as the others laugh.

Those smiles, everlasting smiles of the bridge crew were burnt inside his memories.
Before he realized it, he was already home, the bridge.
Walking past his the corpses, pretending as if everyone was still there, he fixes his cap.
"Damage report."
He ordered.
Nothing responded. Only the sounds of seagull and waves under the bright vast and beautiful blue sky could be heard.
Alone, he then opens the door that leads to the outside.
Where half of the vessel could be seen merging with the rocks.
Still being optimistic, kept his smile. Or is it. Perhaps he fell too deep into despair that he no longer had the ability to reject the smile on his face produced by his psychological defense mechanism.
He held tight onto the fence over the edge. Looking out at the bright sun under the summer sky.
Took a breath.
As tears began to overflow, he climbed over the fence of the bridge. separating him from the platform and the deck.
'Jump?'
A voice of himself could be heard from the back of his head.
'Even after Inaban sent you to Jezabelstien to keep you safe?'
The voice reminded him.
Ignoring the voice, he took one last deep breath and...

Stopped. Holding onto the fence tightly.
He saw a person.
A person laying on the beach on the other side.
However fresh footprints and blood could be seen from the unconscious person.
This person was wearing the admiral's coat.

Suddenly the wreckage of the URN Taihou started making strange noises as the ships tilt more and more.
Until it snapped.
The flagship has snapped into two. Throwing Akima back to the water once again.
This time he acted much quicker than before, swimming to the surface as if his life depends on it even there wasn't any debris above him.
It was because of 'that person'
He surfaced, ignoring the sinking home from behind. He swam towards the beach, forcefully pushing the debris aside.
It was because of 'that person'
Never realized how important nor he treasured the time until they were gone.
It was because of 'that person'
Pushed by the waves from the collapsing flagship behind him. As if the vessel herself is giving the last of her strength to him 'Go.'

It was because of 'that person'

It was the hope he had been searching for.

Seig Naval Academy Remains, newly formed beach/Alien Invasion Aftermath-UKMC Beach Episode Part 2
The senate terminal being contract along with the bullet train rails high above the houses as they cast their shadows onto the neighborhood during twilight was a scenery she would never forget.
The sunsets from behind, casting a show she steps on as she walks. The sound of traffic light counting down could be heard as a train went passed meters away from her, behind the green fences.

Shadow of the electric pole covers her face as she turns away from the group.

A voice from the back of her mind whispered to her. This voice was from none other than herself deep inside.
She stopped as she notices a spider preying upon a butterfly that was caught in its webs in the bushes before her.
Ah. I finally got it. (ああ。やっとわかりました)
She turns back, and begins to return to the intersection.
I'm truly an idiot. (私は本当にばかだった)
The stood in front of the group, catching their attention as they stopped their assault on the kid.
The world is surely cruel. (世界は確かに残酷だ)
"OI What the fu*k you looking at!?"
The delinquents shouted at her as they approach.
In a society where people are treated as disposable military resources. (人々が使い捨ての軍人として扱われる社会で)
Remembering the number of wounds her sister after coming back from the public hospital.
The setting sun leaks between the colossus ad powerful towers of the constructing senate terminal, shining brightly on her face, blinding her sight.
Only the strong will survive. (強い者だけが生き残る)
"Oi, kid, you deaf or something?" The delinquent lifted his right hand, holding his pipe.
That's why. (だから)
She kicked her crotch, tackled and pushed the delinquent on the ground, headfirst. Allowing herself to see a spectacular view of the megastructure at the center of the skyscape.
That's why I'm destroying this sh*tty reality. (このくだらない現実を滅ぼす)
Glaring at the ever-growing senate terminal standing in front of the setting sun. Taking the pipe with her.
As the others approach her from behind, she strikes them on their knees in a flash.
"Kendo?"
The bullied kid who is now watching from meters afar muttered in fear as the girl took out the group of delinquent upperclassmen.
"We- We'll remember this!"
Dragging their leader, the delinquent disappeared into the shadows behind the intersection.
...
"Th- Thank you."
The kid thanked the girl, fearing her.
There was a moment of silence before the girl pointed the pipe at the megastructure on the horizon.
"For the greater good my a*s. The outside world is horrifying, other nations are a threat. Human resources this human resources that, do you, morons, ever think about us!?"
The startled boy was speechless, not sure if the girl was right in her mind.
"Those who desire power would be crushed, and those without power cannot protect. This is the truth of this world."
She continued her muttering at the central administration.
"I will corrupt your damn system from the inside, just wait for it."

"Um, Ms? you've been talking to the senate terminal for minutes now..."
The boy asks with concern.
"I think it's better if you head over to the hospi-"
Before the boy could finish, the girl swung the pipe at him just stopping it before it landed on his face.
"Eek!"
"Kid, you name?"
"Kou-kou-Koutetsujou Akima."
The girl lowered the pipe and sighed.
"When are you gonna stop being a little wimp?"
"eh-h?.....-
Before he was able to answer her question the girl fell to her knees, covering her stomach
"Are you ok!?"
The boy cried as he approaches her.
The girl took her lift her hand away from her stomach. It was stained with blood.
Before she realized it, she was in a bridge of a rusted and burnt ship of some sort, the outside was pitch black, not a single light was reflecting.
Taking a step forward, a cracking sound could be heard, looking down.
It was burnt and melted skin corpse of her tactical officer.
Horrified by the scenery, unable to react, she backed off as she regains her memory.
"That's right. I was... on Taihou.. and then..."
She muttered stressfully trying to figure what was going on. The ship then started to tilt on one side, throwing her off the ship, into a pool of red lukewarm liquid that reeks of iron.
Surfacing from it, she opens up her eyes after wiping the liquid off.
"This is... "
Before she could get to her conclusion, fallen crewmembers and soldier that had been under her command rose surface from the pool.
Every single one of them looked as unique as ever due to their different fatal injuries and the stories of their life slowly pour into her mind.
Every single one of them, their stories were now flooding into her mind.
Struggling to maintain herself due to conflicts and overlaying of memories and personality.
Why are you rejecting us?
Didn't you swear to destroy the system?
Why did you become what you sought to destroy?
Are we just human resources in your eyes?
These collective thoughts flood her individual mind as they approach and drag her down into the pool with them.
"I see... I've become the one who looks down in the end."
Accepting her fate, she closed her eyes and let the fallen continue to drag her down the pool of blood.
"I'm sorry."
.
.
.
Just before her eyes submerges, the scenery was dimensionally cracked as if they were made of glass. The fallen were released her and quickly retreated back to the depths of the pool as a bright light approaches.
A warm and calmly touch could be felt from her cheek, the girl opened her eyes. The dark world around her shattered, changing the scenery to a world covered with clear, transparent water only a feet deep scratching as far as she could see under the bright blue sky. There was no wave or any disturbance that ruined the perfect reflection of the sky on the water surface. However, wind could be felt.
In front of her, there was a white figure playing the piano. Somehow girl could figure out the figure seems to be another girl wearing a full gakuran with a very old military cap. (BGM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WIiA9AuoLU)
"Who are you?"
The girl asked confusedly, approaching the white figure who continues to play the piano.
Taking a closer look, the white figure's eyes could not be seen, it was covered by a strange light that seemed natural yet unnatural at the same time.
There was no response until the white figure finished playing the piano. A piece that was familiar.
"Me? hehe. I'm you."
"huh?"
The girl was confused by the answer from the giggling white figure.
"I could be you, yet I could also be him."
The white figure pointed at one of the fallen that suddenly appeared and stood at the distance.
"I could be them."
Fixing the cape on her gakuran the white figure then points toward a group of fallen on the other side, standing still, fearing to approach.
"You see... could be anyone hehe. The past and future. Even you! Inaban Fuyu."
The white figure said as she points at the girl.
"hu-h?"
The girl's image was then dimensionally cracked and shattered in a blink. When she opened her eyes again, she was in her older self again.
Trying to maintain her balance from the sudden change of point of view, Inaban held onto the piano.
"Great, it seems you've remembered everything."
The white figure muttered happily, and childishly.
"Why did you save me back then..?"
Inaban asked the white figure, the white figure busted out laughing.
"You would do the same thing wouldn't you?"
The white figure responded as she mimics Inaban's teenage voice. Forcing her to remember the meeting with Akima.
"What-; But why, I've been ordering them around without a second thought..."
Inaban asked, still confused, however, the white figure laughed even harder, this time dropping her hat.
"Fuyu... you're really funny."
The white figure commented, then gets off from the piano seat, starting walking to the vast nothingness under the blue sky as Inaban followed.
"Instead of looking at those died under your command, you should have a look at the lives you saved."
They stopped, looking down onto an onto the water. There wasn't anything in particular.
Before Inaban realized it, the white figure pats her head, transferring imaginaries of refugees who survived during the series of war since the de-isolation of the United Kingdom.
"hehe, see it? Comparing those who were lost, the ones who you saved are always far greater."
"But-"
"There's no but, Fuyu. If there's justice and injustice is just the same side of the same coin. There will always be flaws. You cannot save everyone. The world is cruel, isn't it? you even said that yourself, don't you remember?"
The white figure leaned toward Inaban and smiled.
"What- just what are you. I don't get it, how do you even know all of these."
Inaban asked as her mental health improves.
"HMmmm hmhm. I'll tell you a little secret."
The white figure giggles as she picks up her cap which somehow floated over from the piano.
The white figure leans even more toward Inaban, this time, her appearance was beginning to show.
A girl with long hair, caped gakuran with an old Candorian military cap one would normally see in a museum.
"You see. I'm actually the ę̵̧̩̯̙̫̺̰̳͓͚̠͆́̒͐̊͊̃͒̎͝m̸̪͙̼̙͊̅̀͊̾͛̆̕͘b̶̦͙̜͍̹̟̜͖̌̍̀ͅơ̷̢̢̠̲̞̭͈̞̖̖͔̥͚̱̦̒̌́̉̆̈́͊̿̆̕͘͘̕͠d̵͚̟͎͈̍̓̐͜i̵̢̜̜̬̰̣͔̱̖̦͊̋͐͗m̶̻̥͍̜̜͊̽́̃̍̍̃͐̽̀̃̓̌ͅȩ̴͖̯͉̦̻͈̦̳̥̤̉͜ņ̵̢̛͎͓̼͔̈́͆͋͜t̸̨̲̲͈͋̔͐̋͐̃̕ͅ of-"
Before the white figure could finish it, massive earth shook the ground as the dimension began to crack again.
"Well. It seems time's up. Sorry about that." (Illustration: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/443397911955374082/623453690719633429/RMB_I1.jpg)
The white figure backs away, as the world around the two shatters away. the realm began to collapse into the void now.
"What is happenin-"
Before Inaban could finish asking, she felt an intense pain coming from her stomach again.
"Go, someone is out there waiting for you. And try not to come back here if possible, chances like these are rare. hehe~"
The white figure explained as it ascends as the ground below Inaban collapsed, causing her to fall into the void.
Before her consciousness fade, a second white figure in old Miotian uniform could be seen to be scolding be the first.
The voice of those two echoed through the void and reaching to her moments before she lost consciousness, the first seems to be apologizing to the second white figure.
"Sorry for making you wait, sis."

The sounds of the waves and seagull could be heard as the breezing wind could be felt.
Opening her eyes, looking up and seeing the shade of half-collapsed structures. In front of her, was a beautiful beach under the bright sun with no pollution nor ashes.
Where the hell am I
She then tries to turn her head to look around, but it was too painful to do so, she gave up.
She sighed, moving her focus to her body, which is covered in blood-stained bandages.
Someone must've taken care of her she thought.
Forcefully sitting up leaning against the wall, she took a good look at her surroundings.
Massive wreckage of a helicopter destroyer along with what looked like brick structures could be seen on the other side of the beach.
She was at Seig Naval Academy, also known as the naval headquarters.
Before she realizes it, something was dropped and rolled on the ground from behind. Judging from the sound of it, it seemed like it was a pan or a bowl of some sort.
Slowly enduring the pain from her injuries she turns toward the source of the sound.
Akima Koutetsujou, her first officer who she sent to Jezabelstien just before the Etsuyoki Typhoon incident and war with Serpenteum.
He the long-known friend and the sole survivor of the crew was just standing there holding on packs of rations he salvaged from the ruins, completely speechless.
He has returned.
For a second she felt the faint present of the white figure's giggle from behind. She quickly turned and look behind, there wasn't anything beside sad yet beautiful scenery of the ruins, it was just a hallucination.
Calling her name, Akima dropped the rations, rushed to straight-up hugging her.
T-To close!
"I- I'm... finally home."
He cried as he hugs harder.
Is he a fu*king idiot!? It hurts like-
For a moment she saw him as the bullied kid she met on the streets under the shadow of the senate terminal 10 years ago.
She sighed and said,
"Welcome home."

"Huh? So to summarize it... the war with the aliens has ended, and Kjanu is being occupied by Jezabelstien; The maids and tankery in Jezabelstien are nice and we should have some..?"
Inaban summarized it on the bed to confirmed on what Akima just explained as he prepares a meal from a campfire.
"Yeah, that's basically it."
He replied as he drops the pack of naval curry into boiling water heating it.
"Where the hell did you find these anyway.
Inaban asked looking up to the ceiling.
"oh, you meant the rations? I found them on URA's trucks we destroyed when they did a night raid on us last time."
"Wha- those stupid trucks are still here?"
"Yes, ma'am."

"So what's the plan?"
Inaban asked as Akima helps her getting up, and leaning against the wall.
"Well, both of us know that electronics don't work. So there goes the communication."
Akima said as he places the food on the table in front.
"So our best chance would be finding a vehicle that still works, they'll get us to Neo-Tokyo or something."
He continued as he went over to the half-destroyed kitchen to take out spoon and fork he cleaned earlier.
"Come to think of it... isn't this Subsway Sandwich nearby?"
Inaban muttered as she turns her head around to inspect carefully. Discovering a submarine shaped sign confirmed her suspicion.
"Well, yeah. Who knows how did this little shop survive. Probably because of its Jezabel themed name."
Akima responded as he returns.
"Say aah"
"Wha? Aah-"
Before she realized it, Akima stuffed food in her mouth with the spoon.
"What the fu*k- ouch..."
"It hurts, right? Don't move too much, I found you on the beach with an opened wound."
He helped to move her in a more comfortable sitting position as he explains.
"It's..."
Inaban muttered ask she looked away.
"It's?"
Akima repeated her words, confused by its meaning.
"It's embarrassing."
"Bruh. there's nothing to be embarrassing about."
Akima replied as he scooped another scoop.
"Here's goes another one... are you blushing?"
"No- Of course I'm no- cough*"
Before Inaban could finish her response, she started coughing as she covers her mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Akima puts down the food and helped her lean on the wall.
Taking her hand off, drops of blood could be seen reflecting the sunlight leaking in from the ceiling.
"Hey... Akima, what's wrong with me..."
"..."
Why isn't he saying anything?
"Fuyu."
Huh? By the first name!?
"Remember when I said you had a massive wound? You see... when I find you on the beach... I was horrified."
What is he talking about?
"Most of your internal organs are either destroyed or gone missing."
Horrified by Akima's explanation, Inaban stared out onto the calming sea.
"Well... if that's the case.... how am I still alive then?"
She asked, trying to put up a smile, thinking it was a joke of some sort.
"...That I do not know."
"..."
Akima did not know what to say, he just looked down onto the table.
"How much time do you think I have left?"
Inaban asked, staring at the wreckage of her ship.
"I cannot say."
Akima responded, staring at the ship, hiding his tears.
Why did she give me a second chance? Just how much time do I have left?
These thoughts went through her mind as the fear of death returns.

"Go, someone is out there waiting for you. And try not to come back here if possible, chances like these are rare. hehe~"

Is she testing me?
Inaban questions the girl in bright white's words.
After a minute of silence between her and Akima, she finally spoke.
"Well, if that's the case, I better get myself started on finding ways to extend my lifespan. Like the foundation of youth?"
She said sarcastically as she taps on Akima's shoulder optimistically.
"What's important is that currently, I'm living. We'll figure out the rest later."
Akima nodded.
"Oh, perhaps I'm a zombie... roar!"
Inaban joked.

Akima sat on top of the roof, exhausted, after attaching the cable from surviving wind turbines and solar panels to the tilted bridge of the wreckage of URN Taihou.
"This should be good enough."
Akima muttered as the climb back into the bridge. Restarting ship's communication system.
"This should be good enough."
Looking at the ruins of the Subsway Sandwich shop before sending out an SOS signal.

Who knew how many days it took, but a civilian tourist helicopter arrived at the scene.
Carefully laying Inaban at the back seat, Akima got onto the seat next to the pilot.
"Rauenhausen."
"This ain't no Taxi sir, but yeah."
The pilot answered the helicopter takes off.
Akima took a look at the back, Inaban was awake, staring at the wreckage of her ship getting further and further.
"Thank you for your service...rest well."
She muttered.
The two took their one last long look at the URN Taihou.


New Republic of Frontera, Trinada
Sitting on a bench under the bright sun, operative Hijikatra and Okita is suffering from the ridiculous heat during their break from guarding Yotsubishi Heavy Industry's top brass.
"Why is it so damn hwat."
Hijikata complained as he leans his head on the bench. Seeing Okita returning with some ice cream.
"Well, here you go."
Okita said as he hands him his share.
"Thanks, bro."
Hijikata thanked him and took it.
"Speaking of which, where the hell are those two?"
He asked Okita as he stares at the beach.
"They went for a walk down there I think."
Tatiana and Graf walked along the beach like daughter and father.
As always, the cold Tatiana did not show a slight interest in Graf's stories, it was like the old man was talking to himself.
However, this particular line caught her interest.
"... You see the heaf chief's curry are the spiciest within the military, only a true brave or an idiot would ever try it. ...And guess what, that madwomen, Shinozaki challenged the sergeant on a match with that. That monster won the sergeant by three plates. Sometimes I do think her taste buds are broken. Oh, and by the way, both of them were stuck in the washroom for.."
The old man was interrupted when the killing machine Tatiana pulled his sleeves, seems to be showing interest.
Which surprised him, Tatiana rarely shows interest in anything. She kept the same face the entire time during their operation back in EM with the Serbatijan Empire.
"Shi-no-za-ki?"
She spelled it out. (Hiragana) Showing interesting in that particular person.
She was acting unusual... Is this what's been troubling her for these past few days?
Graf thought, judging from the past feel days in Trinada.
"You want to know more about her?"
Graf asked, Tatiana did not say anything, she just nodded.
Well I guess, it's normal to be curious about your lost family, even if it's clones and original relations...
"Well, you see... back at the military academy, Shinozaki was a..."
For the first time, Tatiana actually pays attention to a non-mission related conversation.
For the first time, took an interest in something. For the first time, she slowly regains her humanity.

As the night falls, Trinada's city light flooded the night skies as the silver moon watches over.
The two, Hijikata and Okita was still sitting on the branch.
They were playing Ultra Smash Bruhs Ultimate with their Intendo Witch device.
"Damn you, why are you so good at using melees you damn weeb."
Hijikata said as his character was knocked to the side of the fighting platform.
"Omae wa mou shindeiru"
Okita smirked, and moved his character toward Hijikata's.
However, the game was interrupted when a called hijacked the device. It was a military line.
"Who the hell decided to do military calls on a bloody game console!?"
Both of them shouted in sync.
It was Shinozaki.

Just after Graf and Tatiana clear their shoes of sand, they started climbing up the stairs back to the main road.
Hijikata and Okita was there waiting for them with a serious face.
"What is it?"
Graf asked, slightly confused but he already could guess it's a mission.
"It's a directy call from the 3rd Branch. And it's an emergency."

Rauenhausen, Yotsubishi Tanabe Phrama
On the hospital bed, Inaban looks out at the birds nest just outside the window.
A knock on the door could be heard before the door slid open.
"So what did the doctors say?"
She asked Akima who just walked in.
"They don't know how did you stay alive. But a massive organ transplant is required to help you fully recover. Such massive operation is... highly risky."
He explained as the took the chair and sat beside her.
"They suggested the safest option would be heading to the Meridian Commonwealth."
"The commonwealth huh? Sounds like a nice trip."
She muttered as she continues to stare at the sky.
"Inaban..."
"Yes?"
"I have a bizarre idea."
Akima said as he takes out a classified file from his bag, it has a logo of three snakes with an inverted apple.
"During your absence, the P5 council has sent a team of four to a raid on a SDII blacksite."
Akima began to explain as he flips through the pages.
"There we found six legendary items described in Feng Dynasty's mythology. The team was only able to take five of them. One of them, the Ruby, is said to be the lifestone."
"Akima... this sounds a little..."
"Ever since the stones have been taken there seems to habe been abnormal natural phenomenons occurring all over the world. And I believe, you happened to be one of them. If it had the same effect described in text, it could completely heal you."
He finished his explanation, leaving Inaban speechless.
"Sumimasen, nani the fu*k?"
Inaban commented.
"We'll be departing for Hong Kong then the 11th branch, artificial island TW-1."
Akima said as he stood and started to walk out of the room.
"Wait! wait!"
He left.
What's gotten in him? Believing in some fairytales than...

Outside the hallway, Akima punches the hallway out of frustration.
How the hell am I suppose to tell her, that it is impossible to sync her consciousness now that her brain is gone?
Is that mythical stone the only choice left?
Before Akima realizes it, a group of masked agents was standing behind him.
"Koutetsujou Akima? Correct?"
They asked Akima turned over to them, seeing the 5th branch foundation insignia.
"Yeah? what the hell do you people want?"
He replied furiously.
"We had reports that suggest you assisting Jezabelstien during their crusade on Kjanu, therefore you're currently a suspect, and we would like you to come with us."
The group explained, taking out a handcuff.
"Why the fu*k are you taking that out?"
"..."
"Since when did you people replaced the fu*king military police!?"
Out of frustration, Akima took his pistol out aiming at one of the agents.
"Please calm down, sir. Due to the destruction of Edokyuuria, the major command structure is lost. We are only doing our part."
"What happened to the other officers stationed here? In this city? Come to think of it I have not seen single military police since I got here..."
Akima raises his suspicion.
"..."
The group of agents did not answer.
"You do understand, under martial law, I am currently the highest-ranked officer in the city right?"
"..."
"Now that I'm here... you people are trying to remove me from my position?"
Akima stated his hypothesis as the other 5th branch agents took out their pistols aimed at him.
The nurse who walked by pretending she did not say a thing.
Akima then started giggling as if he had gone mad.
"It's treason the-"
Before Akima could finish, the 5th branch agents fell to the ground one by one. They were killed.
Turning his attention towards the end of the hallway.
Tatiana was there, just fired with her G36.
"Wha- Why are you here!?"
Akima asked, surprised to see 053-A here.
"Well, young man, we received an order to retake the Rauenhausen. But who knew this missy, here have such a sensitive nose to locate both of you here, like a doggo."
Graf explain as he head pats Tatiana.
"That's bullsh*t but I believe it."
Akima said, knowing Tatiana's identity.
"First you people raid our naval base, now you're saving us?"
Akima said suspicious of the operatives.
"Aw man, cre- I mean come on. If you want to live then, come with us!"
Hijikata said as he leads approaches Akima.
"We should put aside our difference for now."
Grad whispered to Akima as the rest secure the hallway.

Carrying Inaban on his back, Akima followed the group's guidance to escape the hospital from the emergency exit.
Headed to the alley, lead by Hijikata, the group slowly moves toward the closed ferry terminal.
Suddenly a group of enemies closes by from the corner behind, Tatiana, as usual, shot them in an inhuman reaction as if she had an eye on her back.
However one of the enemies were hiding behind the corner, when he leaped out and aimed at the group, it wasn't her ability that failed her, it was her weapon. It was jammed.
"So you get rusty quicker than me huh?"
Inaban muttered as she fired at the last enemy tailing them with the Akima's pistol as she is being carried by him.
"hehe"
She smirked at Tatiana.
Tatiana ignores her as if she blocked someone.

When the group arrives at a closed ferry terminal they quickly headed up to the roof by an elevator that plays supermarket music.
On the roof, it was the same weather when Akima found Inaban on the beach. Clear weather, calming sound of the waves, breezing wind.
On the other side of the scenery, it was a city with black smoke rising up.
So the claws of war have finally reached here huh?
Akima thought as he looks at the scenery.
A YAGR-N101 tilt-motor was waiting for them.

"Yes. Her situation is grave... yes.... understood."
Akima talking to Shinozaki over the radio as the YAGR-N101 departs towards west, the ocean.
"We're going to Hong Kong."
Akima announced to the group who is currently patching themselves up after the battle.
"That's pretty far... how are we getting there?"
Hijikata asked as a nurse on board treats his wound. Tatiana was just walking around as usual since she did not take any damage.
While Okita continues to play his Intendo Witch.
Inaban was resting on the bench as the other nurse checks on her.
Looks at Inaban for a moment.
If there's ever I a chance I could return the flavor, it's this time.
Akima then announces his plan.
"We're getting a plane transfer, at the Rias International space elevator's airport that is."
He moved away from the cockpit window, a white tower in the distance could be seen getting closer and closer.

Read dispatch

RRS Fenrir, Northern Meridian Sea, North-Eastern Meridian International Space elevator waters, Weather: Storm
“After a year of silence, so there’s finally some movement huh?”
Captain Trygg Grindsson muttered as he stared out to the burning horizon of the east, while trying to maintain balance.
“Captain! It’s been confirmed the smokes are coming from the three burning military craft of unknown origin.”
The first officer reported after rushing into the bridge from the deck.
“Prepare the rescu-”
Just when Trygg tried to order a rescue mission a massive explosion engulfed the three vessels, destroying what’s left of them.
“That’s must’ve been their ammunitions…”
The crew stood facing the bright burning horizon in the storm, praying to the dead.
As the lighting strikes on the RRS Fenrir, the brightness reveal the insignia of three snakes with an inverted apple on her hull.

Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong, Feng Dynasty
“What?.... But… fine…. I understand…… Alright... I’m hanging up.”
Akima hung up the long distance call from the 9th branch, and he accepted a certain request from them.
Opening the rusty window, a heavily packed nightless city that was created by a cultural experiment could be seen filled with people both going to work and heading home.
Double decker bus were so close that he could almost touch it if he reaches his hand out.
LED signs extends perpendicular from the structures as if the buildings themselves were dressed in beautiful clothes.
This multilayered city was Hong Kong.
Turning away from the window and closes the window before turning on the air conditioning with budget wind detector of a piece of tape tapped in through the ventilation.
Hijikata, Okita, and Graf of the STF-666 were playing Ultra Smash Bruh on their Intendo Witch outside in the living room, Tatiana watches them from the door as she lookouts for the unexpected.
On the bed, Inaban seems to have fallen asleep while reading a chinese fashion magazine.
Since when did she learnt to read that!?
Akima questions as he carefully covers Inaban with the blanket on the bed.
Rest well.
He puts the magazine onto the end table as he turns the lamp off. Leaving that area of the room in the dark.
Before he walked out, he took a look at Inaban. Her face was covered by her hair, resembling the ghost from The R*ng. Which startled him for a moment.
Brushing her hair to the side, her childish sleeping face could be seen.
...bruh.
Expected a graceful face like in the movies, reality could sometimes be disappointing.
Nevertheless, seeing her sleeping comfy like this calms him, everything is fine for the moment.
Suffered multiple fatal wound but still alive, this is certainly a miracle.
No… is this what they call godmodding in that certain roleplaying game?
Akima thought, before he started giggling from it.
“Oi! Commander Koutetsujou? What’s taking you so long? Certainly I don’t think a simple phone call would require you to turn off the lights with the admiral in the same room~?”
Hijikata called from the outside.
“Wwwwwwwwww”
Some weeb laughs Okita added on.
“Tsk- shut up and focus on your stupid games you guys!”
Akima replied nervously, blushed as he walked out of the bedroom closing the door.
Having to pretend to be asleep, Inaban heard everything.
“Idiot.”
She muttered, then went back to sleep with a smile.


Donghai, Feng
The Yuanhe Palace of Donghai was slightly uncomfortable. For one it was hastily cleaned and it’s interior smelled of dust. It was already a day and the Palace was still filled with the sound of unloading packs and luggage. A large Court, Imperial Family, and thousands of servants does have it’s disadvantages The Emperor thought. The entire capital had to be evacuated from Taijing after snow and ice suddenly descended. He looked up at the sound of rustling robes. “Your Highness, the researchers in the Palace of Science have detected strange energies in the East Feng Sea. They believe-” The Emperor was already standing and striding out of his quarters. “Prepare a carriage, I must see.”
****
“The energies were detected three hundred kilometres off Donghai’s coast, south-east. We believe that one of the stones are there.” The Head Researcher said as he kneeled within the temporary Palace of Science's main hall.
“A stone?” The Emperor said. “Where exactly is it?”
“Your Majesty, it appears to be nearby the floating island project cooperated by the Yotsubishi heavy industry from

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor and a few Feng cooperation, TW-1.”
“You are saying the stones are on it?”
“We do not know, perhaps nearby, on top, or under.”
The Right Chancellor stood and bowed. "My Liege, we need to steal it. As time passes the forces become more unbalanced. Just yesterday the veil of night fell upon Donghai even though it was day. What would happen if more time passed? Who knows what would happen if more passed? We need to take matters into our own hands and return the stones ourselves!"
The Emperor nodded. "Send a message to the Lord Censor."

"Ooh, a task?" Lianxin said. "F*cking finally, the last thing we did was ages ago."
Three woman sat in a ornate room, they were in the temporary Palace of the Censorate, the spy agency of Feng Dynasty.
"Yes, message from the Head Censor. We are to retrieve a stone from the TW-1." Mingyu replied. "There is a opening party there, we can mix into the crowd. To get there we have to use the ferry service in Hong Kong."
"Hong Kong? Oh we have to cross Miotian territory."
"Well, we'll see. Meanwhile we have to get some Hanfu robes for formal occasions. No casual robes, it's for the party. Don't bring your best silks please? They'll most likely be ruined. If you do though, well I'm not paying for it"
"Aaww, I can't bring my trailing Silk dress?" said Zhengzhu. "Too bad, I wanted to go in a robe worthy of a concubine."
"Well" Mingyu nodded. "We have to start packing. Get some gear, we can hide it in our robes."

Hong Kong
"Hong Kong... has changed so much" Mingyu said as she stared around.
Large neon signs lit the paved roads, now shaking with the busy coming and going of cars. Lights lit the buildings, which there were those which remained built in the Hua style of wood and roofs which curved gracefully upwards towards the orange sunset sky. However many were modified buildings, glass, metal, and concrete showed in the traditional styles. On the ground, crowds of people came and went. Half wore the fashion of Feng's Hua race. Flowing robes and floor length skirts with wide sleeves, and long uncut hair tied into various styles. There were others though, who wore western clothing and began to cut their hair. In the distance the Yongming Palace, the Palace of Hong Kong, loomed.
The three ladies walked, gazing at the city. “Hong Kong, the city of light” Zhengzhu murmured “The union of tradition and modernity. Anyway, we really need to get to get to the terminal. How are we going there, taxi?” Seeing an available cab, they hailed.
“To the ferry terminal please” Lianxin said, lifting her skirts as she ducked through the taxi’s door.
****
The ferry terminal was as busy as the rest of the city. “Did you hear?” A nearby girl said to her friend. “There’s a business party in TW-1. There’s a cooperation from the

United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor called… Yotsubishi I think?” A short distance from them, Lianxin, Mingyu, and Zhengzhu hovered nearby, gazing at the terminal. There, they saw the ferry that headed to TW-1, and the guards checking the tickets. “Now, how on earth are we going to sneak aboard?” Mingyu asked. Lianxin was about to reply when the three all felt a tap on their shoulder. Startled, they quickly turned around.



Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal
Having lost the Ultra Smash Bruhs game, Okita was taken to stay behind to guard the hotel room while the others heads for the Ferry Terminal.
Holding onto a weird ticket machine Akima brought from the 3rd Branch, Hijikata asks Akima about it.
“So.. we’re going to invite ourselves into the Yotsubishi Heavy Industry’s artifical island with this?”
He asked, still inspecting on the device. It is identical to the ones in the supermarkets, the only difference was there was a sticker of the three snake insignia.
“The 11th branch is not going to be pleased…”
Graf commented as he drives their rental car.
Tatiana, as usual was already scanning through the streets of Sheung wan district.
After a series of traffic, the rental car was parked at the terminal, and the four got off.
“It reeks of fuel here.”
Hijikata complained as he covers his nose, following the group to the escalator.
Ascending the terminal mall, Tatiana notices three strange individuals in hanfu standing away from the emmigrantion entrance, she then points at them as she pulls oldman Graf’s sleeves.
“Huh? The three over there? What is it?”
He asked, not understanding what Tatiana wants to express.
“Those three has the same objective as us.”
Akima explained as he reads their foundation documented profiles from his Mpad, before anyone could response.
Carefreely, Akima walked over to the three girls in hanfu as the group followed.
“Now, how on earth are we going to sneak aboard?”


Akima, Graf and Hijikata tapped on the three’s shoulder.
“Yo.”
The moment Akima greet, the three spies tried to take out a pistol in response to that, however the three already had c98s pointing at them from behind.
“H-How who are you people!?”
One of them asked, surprised that their identity get exposed.
“Now let’s try not to make a scene here.”
Hijikata said casually, still pointing the pistol at them.
“”Miss. Lianxin, Mingyu, and...Chengchu?”
Akima tries to pronounce their names from his Mpad as Tatiana looks at the six in bruh moment
“It’s Zhengzhu.”
“Oops.”

After a series of explanations the tensions dropped real quick, the group of seven is currently having lunch at Wcdonalds inside the terminal.
“In other words, to save your friend, you want us to cooperate with your forces to steal the stone from the Yotsubishi corp….. And you’ll give us the stone after that..”
Lianxin summarized on the other side of the table, eating her fries.
“That’s ridiculous, using the stone would kill the user or turn them insane.”
Agent Mingyu explained, trying to convince the STF-666+ from using such dangerous items.
“Well, that has only been written in myths. We won’t know if we don’t try… right?”
Akima replied optimistically, on the inside, he is doubting it would end well using the stone.
“Th-... sigh… do what you like. But we are getting the stone in the end. The world is sick, and must treat it quickly.”
Mingyu gives up on convincing the group and sips on her cola.
Western food is weird. She thought.
“Well then here’s are the invitation letters for you three.”
Akima handed out the letters to the three ladies from the ticket machine.
“These are… real invitation letters? There’s even a barcode…”
Chengchu asked as she inspect the invitation letter.
“Yep. It’s the real thing.”
“How!?” x3
“That’s classified.”

After showing the invitations to the guards, the seven was allowed aboard the turbojet after showing their fake passports.
Tatiana wasn’t required to hold a letter due to her being underage and Graf as the guardian, or at least that’s the fake profile they’re going with.
“Now come to think of it, why is there a child with us?”
Lianxin asked Akima who was leading the group to the seats. Tatiana respond with a cold glare like a cat.
“She may looked like a child but she’s like fiv- I mean it’s classified.”
“...How can you expect us to trust you people if everything is classified…”
Lianxin replied in disappointment, sitting down on the seat.
“Well, at least I can assure you that everything we’ve told you people up till now is the truth.”
“That doesn’t help at all…”
While Graf and Hijikata were talking about the current Serpentuem-United Kingdom war, Tatiana stares out at the boundless ocean. But really, she is using the glass as a mirror to monitor the movement of the passenger cabin.

Many hours later.
Slipped between other passengers, the seven acted naturally to fit in with the atmosphere.
Three in Hanfu while the other four in suit.
Once stepping out of the ship, the colossus circular industrial floating platform TW-1 could be seen surrounded by a suspected-to-be-coast-guards vessels.
The other got off first while Graf helped Tatiana to get across the plank.
“Toyoda Motors, Zoni, Macrosoft… those big bois are all here…”
Hijikata muttered as representatives of other corporations walks toward the subway terminal after their invitation letters being checked.
“Well, here goes nothing.”
Akima whispered as he let the guard check their invitation letters.
After moments of tension the guard let them through onto the subway line that goes straight to the heart of the artificial island.

After the Yotsubishi president’s long boring speech the crowd was finally allowed to dine.
“What now?”
Mingyu asked Hijikata as she follows him, who went for food in the buffet.
“We wait, commander Koutetsujou said.”
He explained as he carefreely picks food from the buffet.
Meanwhile back at the main group at the side of the room, discussing about creating a distraction.
“So here’s this, and there’s that…..”
He continues to explain his plans as he hands out the night vision glasses manufactured by Yotsubishi, however, unexpectedly someone tapped on his shoulder.
“Hello there? And you’re...”
The guy with the circular glasses greeted.
No one in the group knew what to say, they were all about to be exposed.
“We’re with the Yotsubishi Tanabe Phrama.”
Akima lied as he took out a fake ID given to him by the 3rd Branch when he was sent to Inaritetsugen to investigate the outbreak of P5S1 virus back in March 2019.
“And you’re?”
Akima asked, putting up a fake smile.
“O-Oh,, I’m with the Future Foundation.”
He replied, showing his familiar looking ID.
Carefully inspecting on the details and material of the replicated ID, both sides knew, it was a fake. Both cards were issued on the same day, 15/03/2019, the day of the raid on abandon site 13 of the former Pure Gene Research Institution.
“You…” x2
They recognized each other.
Both of the pointed at each other, before Akima leads him away from the group with faked giggles and laughter, as if they knew each other well.
“What the hell are you here.”
The glasses guy asked quietly, making sure no one heard them.
“To get the damn stone, Edward.”
“You do know that is betraying the foundation’s ideals right?”
“Is saving the world not the foundation’s ideals?”
“...wha-”
“The stone’s absent from the damn temple is causing disasters all over the planet. Plus I need that thing. To save the Ina- the admiral.”
After hearing Akima’s explanation, Edward was quite surprised.
“But that’s still against regulation, and you know that?”
Edward insisted on Akima to abort his plan, however Akima straight up pulling out his c96 and pointed at Edward secretly.
“Look, she is running out of time, please.”
Akima insisted on staying on his plan, staring at Edward’s eye with determination.
“Alright, alright I get it. Put that thing down. What do you need?”
“A distraction.”

As Lanxin, Mingyu, Zhengzhu, Tatiana, and Graf approaches the western emergency exit that leads underground or underwater sector, Akima and Edward casually entered the broadcasting room with Edward’s worker ID.
The two knocked out the announcers before they could notice what was happening, moving the unconsciousness workers to the sides, the two nodded and smiled at each other.
A few clicks on the sound and light button was all it needed to suddenly turn off the lights of the grand hall.
Leaving the guests confused and scared for a moment as the securities were called by the Yotsubishi corp to leave their post in order to survalenice the area for anyone suspicious.
In total darkness, the five quietly entered the western emergency stairs ways that leads to the lower section of the central floating platform.
After confirming the group got into the stairway, Akima signals Edward to return the lights to the hall before they quickly leave the room.
“Are you sure you’ve hacked the security camera with fake footage?”
Akima asked nervously, as he follows Edward down the stairs back to the grand hall.
“Yeah, I’m pretty sure I did.”
Edward replied just as he stops before the door to the main hall. Akima signals Hijikata who is currently still eating at the main hall to distract the crowd from the eastern staircase.
Shortly after Hijikata received the message, he pretended he accidently tripped and threw food and its plate to the cold hard marble floor, creating attraction of attention.
Using this chance, the two carefully and quickly got out from the eastern stairway.
“Wait.”
Akima called for Edward just before he parts.
“What is it…”
Clearly annoyed, Edward replied Akima.
“This is a letter to the 11th branch director.”
He hands the classified letter to Edward, which surprised him again.
“Firstly you want to steal from the 11th branch and now you are delivering this for the 11th branch?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t get you people in the 3rd branch.”

Upon walking down the seemingly almost never ending stairway, a map of an inverted pyramid could be seen to be TW-1’s underwater facility, with a three snake with an invert apple insignia that is.
“So this is the 11th branch of the SSS foundation huh? The only facility with an inverted pyramid.”
Graf muttered as he follows Tatiana who is taking the lead with her implanted old layout of the facility. It may not be accurate, but it’s better than nothing.

TW-1 Central tower
The storm did not improve at all, lighting were striking nearby floating platforms as the party down in the grand hall goes on.
From the director’s office, Half of the massive industrial platform could be seen shining bright in the storm.
“In order words, the 1st branch wanted us to send an expedition to the land of the silent empire huh?”
11th branch and TW-1’s true diretor, Soua Lam, asked Edward, after having him to read it to her.
“It seems so, ma’am.”
“Very well. It’s certainly a good time, we’ll put those Tachikomas to test on the field. This will satisfy the Yotsubishi Heavy Industry wouldn't? They've always been begging for a field test.”
The director smirks as she turns her chair to the window, looking out at the horrifying storm.
“Yes.. ma’am…”
“Plus, it’ll be the perfect opportunity to show the URA how capable these tanks are, our economic support would increase too wouldn't it?”
“Yes.. but director, we’re talking about Serbatijan Empire that has gone silent for almost a year.”
“It doesn’t matter.. Edward.”
The Director responded, turning her chair back to Edward as a lighting engulfs the room into total white light.
“If it fails, we’ll just not use those records, since we are the ISP on this artificial platform. Anyway, contact the cargo ship RRS Graf Zeppelin, they should be around the Meridian space elevator after transfer Tungsten there. Have them meet up with FSS Tenjin, and receive the supplies from them.”

Read dispatch

Edokyuuria ruins, Edokyuuria Crater, New Senate Terminal
The superstructure still operates as the heart of the nation, despite its surroundings has been reduced to nothing more than melted buildings under the greater Edokyuuria pond. Powered by a dozens of massive cables from the outskirts of the former metropolis, a heart like structure could be seen from the air.
“We’ve successfully recaptured and arrest the 5th branch.”
One of the URA officers who still remained in the terminal after evacuation reported to Vice GC Victoria. “Good work, Cuteness is Justice.” She saluted.
“Cuteness is justice.” And the officer responded before leaving.
Who the hell came up with this motto anyway. Victoria thought as she walks and returns to the messy Grand Chancellor’s office.
And of course, the room was as lively as ever. While GC Mashiro drowned in the pile of work Victoria gave her, Else Schnorr of the Neo-Fascist Union and Nicola Lafrenz of the United Socialist Party were rather productive today. They were still competing on even the smallest things though, like kids.
Ignoring the two extremists cleaning up the place in competition to gain supporters within the government, Victoria walked over to Mashiro, hitting her with a folder.
“Wake up.”
Mashiro woke, rolled her head to the side lazily to face Victoria. “Is it lunch?”
At this point even Else and Nicola knew Mashiro screwed up, and quietly leaves the room, moving their competing area to the hallway, putting up their promotion poster on the way.
No one was sure what exactly happened inside the office, but legends has it Mashiro’s scream could be heard 90 floors below her office.

A few hours later, the door to Mashiro’s office were opened without a knock.
Military police Albert Lionheart and Sutsushi Rika followed thought to be dead former head of state Shinozaki into the room.
“Wha-”
Surprised by her appearance, Victoria was speechless. Mashiro slowly lifts her head from the trash can, seeing some legendary war hero, she thought she was in an afterlife.
“How are you still alive? Didn’t the media-”
“That was to protect my identity until every single one of the PGRI members are wiped off the map.”
Shinozaki replied in a cold manner, walking to the desk, sitting on it ask if she still in charge.
“How nostalgistic, so they’ve also recreated this room in the newbuilding.”
Looking around the office, it resembles her office in the old terminal that now sleep below this one, hundreds of meters under.
Victoria wasn’t sure what to say, knowing that the Shinozaki Era and Mashiro Era policies were very different, with the amount of security forces within the current capitol building, Shinozaki, SSS-053 herself can easily take out everyone in this isolated structure in the middle of the crater.
“Oh, don’t worry. I’m not here to cause trouble.”
Shinozaki said carefreely, turning her focus to the beautiful starry night outside.
“A world without light pollution is amazing Isn’t it? You can even see the entire milky way, chances like this are quiet rather don’t you think so?”
She continues to watch the night sky as the room fell into silence.
Albert Lionheart approaches Victoria, handing her the document on the Jonas Kuhn’s investigation, the man who assassinated Nicolae Danila, the president of Serpenteum and threw the two nation in this never ending madness.
“In the end, we couldn't find his motive. However, we found that his wife and child’s memory of their trip to Kjanu is replaced.”


Kanatoro ACRS, Candor, Twin Kingdom, United Kingdom
Edokyuuria Western New Residential District, Edokyuuria, Miotia, Twin Kingdom, United Kingdom

In a black suit instead of the maid uniform, Sutsushi ring the doorbell of the Jonas Kuhn’s family resident, the family of the man who started this war.
Albert Lionheart, her colleague and close friend since the end of the civil war, was looking around the surprisingly clean hallway of the apartment. The hallway was decorated as if it was a mansion.
Albert tried to touch the flowerpot just next to Kuhn resident’s door. He felt nothing, it was an illusion, holographic apartment. Everything here is an illusion, a low cost apartment with holographic displays.
The door was opened by Mrs Kuhn with a warm welcome.
“Hello, Mrs Kuhn. We’re the FBi- I meant the MP.”
Sutsushi shows her MP ID.
“We’re here to talk about your husband.”
Shocked and confused, Mrs Kuhn welcome the two MPs into her house, which are mostly holographic textures layered above actual plain furniture.
Her 9 years old daughter Mary, walked out of her room with curiosity as she look at Sutsushi and Albert.
Mrs Kuhn then told Mary to head back inside her room.
After the three settled down on the sofa, Sutsushi lead the conversation.
“I assume you heard the news?”
Placing a picture of a man shooting the president of Serpenteum
“Yes I’ve heard about it.”
Mrs Kuhn replied, picking up the picture.
“We have records of your family heading to Kja-”
Sutsushi explains but she was interrupted when Mary walked out of her room.
“Is this about father?”
Mary asked, holding onto a newspaper.
“Mary, go back to your room now.”
The mother ordered furiously.
“But I want to know.”
“Mar-”
“Mrs, I got this.”
Albert said.
“Sutsushi, you on going with your things, I’ll take it from here.”
Walking over to Mary.
“Your name is Mary isn’t it? You can call me Albert, why don’t we play over at the… ummm”
Albert realizes the holographic garden at the other end of the living room.
“Over there?”
The two then went to the garden, and Sutsuhi continues her questioning.
“Your family went to Etsuyoki, Kjanu during the super typhoon Sigmund, correct?”
“Yes.”
“Where was your husband when the typhoon struck Sigmund?”
Sutsushi, while she caught a glimpse of Mrs Kuhn’s IC chip series code, it was ending with 0991. Therefore, she is confirmed to have died in Etsuyoki during the typhoon and cloned by the Kjanuan government.
“What?”
“Where was Jonas Kuhn, when the typhoon struck?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about. There’s only two of us. Me and Mary.”
Mrs Kuhn looked even more confused.
“No. We have video footage of MR Shinkansen of the three of you leaving the twin kingdom.”
Sutsuhi then shows the footage on her phone. Mrs Kuhn was shocked and confused.
“Miss… Sutsushi? This got to be CGI?”
“No. This is actual footage.”
“My husband died two years ago, and I don’t think that man who killed the president of Serpenteum is him..”
Mrs Kuhn said.
“Mrs Kuhn. May I ask you a simple question?”
“Yes?”
“Do you remember Etsuyoki having any protests or sorts?”
“No, why? It was lovely there.”
At this point, Sutsushi had figured it out. This replacement citizen or clone, 2333-8000-0991, her memory had been altered during her production. All she could recall were false memory.
“Thank you very much…”
Sutsushi thanked her as she packs her things, and ordered Albert to go.
Mary was slightly unhappy when her new friend had to leave, the two Khun said goodbye to the MPs and closed their door.
“0991 series memories had been altered.”
Sutsushi said coldly.
“They what.”
Albert respond in a surprised manner.
“According to Mrs Kuhn, Jonas Kuhn died two years ago, and the Kjanuan protests never happened in Etsuyoki….”
“We landed on a minefield eh?”
“Yea… this is a serious matter.”
Exiting the building, the two MPs walked over to Shinozaki’s car, locked. Thought to be dead former chancellor and a bio anomaly, Shinozaki was not in the car.
The sky suddenly turns dark as it starts to rain.
“Great.”
Shinozaki then showed up around the corner of the building, coming back with… sandwiches packing with Jezabelstien submarine logo.
“Since you two took so long, I went to SubsWay for food. I’ve got you some too.”
“...” x2
“What.”

“Well that’s unexpected.”
Victoria said as she reads the log again.
“Well, that’s one thing, another is there seems to have a massive outbreak of an unknown disease the serps called it Sanguis Oculus, also known as the Teardrop plague, it is currently spreading in the front- No Man’s Land.”
Albert reported, pointing out the content on the page.
“A place where it’s even far more deserted than the ‘concrete forests’...”
Mashiro muttered sadly, hugging onto a Miokea shark plushie.
“Since Inaban is somehow absucent, I’ve suggested to send the trash can drones to the frontline, and heavy artillery bombardment to the invading forces, that will reduce the chances of our forces be affected by the sickness. We can hold our ground, but they must advance. We’ll drain their military power with time.”
Shinozaki explained, turning her focus back into the room.
“Well, anyway, it’s been rather strange for sis- Inaban to lose contact for a period this long… do you people know anything about it?”
She asks, walking over to Victoria.
“... The truth is…”

Commander Tekhta has sent an expedition of 10 armed soldiers to the mysterious door found hidden East of Jurojin. After transporting the expedition via truck, they walked up to the door to find a keycode with a 20 digit password to enter.
“Man, they must have really valued whatever’s in here. Any idea what the password might be?”
None of Lieutenant Blaney’s men answered.
‘Let’s go with the obvious then…”
Blaney proceeded to type one 20 times in the keypad, to no success.
“ACCESS DENIED.”
“Fair enough. Vasile, arm the explosives pronto.”
A scrawny young man, the explosives expert Vasile, attached a few c4s to the door and backed up.
“3..2..1..”
The explosion was not particularly large, but was enough to blast the old door off.
The crew ventured into the dark interior with flashlights attached to their rifles. The interior lit up and the men found rust along the walls in a narrow corridor, leading to a wide, circular room.
“Lieutenant, you should take a look at this.”
Blaney walked over to Private Albu, to find him standing over a skeleton clad in old Miotian scientific uniform.
“How old is this body, Albu?”
“My estimates are telling me about 20 years, sir. We aren’t finding any munitions or the like yet.”
“Keep looking, this place looks more important than a munitions stash.”

Victory?
“FOR DANILA!”
The battlecry of the counterattack resonated through no man’s land as the Serpentean soldiers charged valiantly in pursuit of the fleeing Miotian men. Allied gunfire shot down the retreat by numbers before they finally jumped in their trenches, followed in moments by the Serpenteans.

Marius leaped thoughtlessly into a trench with a pistol in his right hand and a knife in his left. Mihai had been quite a bit behind him, and as such Marius was going to have to take on the enemy with his other fellow men. He went through the muddy trench shooting and stabbing soullessly until he heard a familiar whistle. The hostiles once again crawled out of the trenches, running to a backup position. Marius’ comrades stayed in the trench shooting after the fleeing troops while he searched for Mihai.

Sure enough, he found his friend alive and well, but he was kneeling, staring at his own bloody knife. He looked up to get a friendly hug from his new buddy. Mihai stuttered, then began talking.
“Danila… you know what the worst part is? In all this… It’s killing someone with your own hands, realizing I’ll live the rest of my life never knowing if they were a good person or not. How many children am I leaving orphaned? How many widows am i creating? How many bloodlines am I ending? I just…”
Mihai burst into tears, and Marius couldn’t help but join him. He had made it his own tactic in every battle he fought in to not think. To not feel. But seeing someone he had grown to like break down into sobbing broke his shell. The wails and moans of dying men and women didn’t make him feel any better.
Sure enough, however, the attack was an enormous triumph for Serpenteum. The most stiff resistance of the city of Ebisui had been torn apart in one night, and the rest of the defenses were now due to crumble. Extremely pyrrhic, but a victory nonetheless.



Somewhere in the underground ruins deep below Edokyuuria
At the center of a pitch black room a table was shower by white light. A meeting of a certain government department was taking place. Everyone in the room was wearing some sort of white mask that shows no emotion.
“Everyone, an intruder was detected in site 13, by the old PGRI console in their headquatar’s ruins.”
P5-7 announced coldly.
“Site 10? Where’s is that?”
P5-8 asked as she fixed her mask.
“According to the 20 year old console, it’s somewhere in this region.”
P5-7 took out a map and points to it.
“Isn’t that region currently occupied by the enemy forces?”
P5-8 asked showing a little concern as P5-2 leans over.
“I’m here to ask for permission on sending MTF Sphinx to eliminate both the threat of Serpenteum getting their hands on something, and recontain whatever is in there.”
P5-7 took out a proposal document and announced his plan, then he fixes his tie.
“Approved.” x9
“We don’t want another Inaritetsugen incident. Contain or elimite what’s left of it.”
P5-1 concluded, as he stamps an approval onto the document. ‘SSS’

Through the ruins of underground highway, abandoned rusting icbm storage, and unknown pre-war underground structures, the mobile task force Sphinx arrived at a dead end.
The team of seven planted explosives onto the wall of the dead end, and ignited it.
The explosion opened a hole into another hallway.
Turning on their heat sensor, the team of seven operatives: Sakamoto, kahito, Konan, Koudai, Hyuuga, Reiner, and their leader, Hans. Slowly advances into the hallway holding and aiming tight with their G36.
“I really don’t feel safe carrying weaponized organic mercury with me you know?”
Sakamoto said to Kahito as he looked at the ‘special ammo’ pack tied on his belt.
“Bear with it, we only get a single pack person.”
Hans told him, just as a faint screech of some sort of animal could be heard.
“You heard that?”
Konan asked as he looked up onto the ceiling, where the sources was from. It was probably floors above.
“Yes.”
Hans answered just as broke open the locked stairway.
“What was that?”
“Something that we all don’t feel like dealing with.”
Hans answered, then he opened the door with uncertainty. The stairway reeks of ammonia, the irons within the room were all extremely rusty for a place far from water and low concentration of oxygen.
“Great.”
Sakamoto commented as he look upward, nine more floors could be seen.
“That sound came from upstairs correct? Didn’t the serps came from the surface?”
He then asks, somewhat worrying for the enemy.
“...”
“Well.”

“What the hell is this place, sir?”
Lieutenant Blaney, Celtic-born leader of the scout group sent to investigate the remote underground bunker, was staring dumbfoundedly at his surroundings, unable to answer private Albu’s confused question. What he expected to be a munitions stash was turning out to be something far more mysterious, as the dusty interior revealed itself to be some sort of secret laboratory science experiments. The group found unidentified liquids with the labels torn, organs preserved in jars, and countless skeletons of the former occupants.
“Wait, I found something.”
The group stopped and turned to see Private Torescu crouching over one of the skeletons, searching it's uniform. He got up with a small device he found in a pocket.
“I think I just picked up a key of some sort.”
“Let me see it…”
As requested, Torescu handed the rectangular electronic to Blaney, who eyed it carefully.
“Whatever it is, this is for HQ to look at. Let’s not break it.”
The group kept searching the perimeter room by room until they stopped at a particularly spacious one with what appeared to be a large door to the side with no handle.
“Now what is…”
“Wait, sir, do you hear that?”
Lieutenant Blaney listened carefully, and sure enough he could hear some faint noise, and if he didn’t know better he would almost think it was something screaming…
“We will figure it out later. But what is this?”
They turned their attention to the door, which had some large words on it that had been worn away beyond recognition, aside from a blatant red warning: danger sign. A pedestal with a slot in the side sat in front of it, which appeared to be the form of entry. Blaney walked up to it slowly.
“Back up, team. Just in case.”
Blaney took out the device they had previously obtained and inserted it into the slot. Sure enough, a feminine robotic voice called out to them from a speaker.
“Access granted.”
.
.
.
Corpses of mice and insects could be seen laying on the floor as amonia and rotten smell rushed out the moment Blaney opened the door.
The interior was surprisingly, digustingly wet.


Access Granted(SSS Side)
The Sphinx division stopped, exhausted, the stairs that continues up were destroyed. Hans shines his flashlight onto the wall, they were in B14 of the abandoned PGRI facility.
Sakamoto then looks down at the abyss where they came from, B83.
“Thank god we were given these exoskeletons.”
Sakamoto said as he leans on the wall while their captain Hans and Kahito were figuring out the lock on the door that leads to the hallway. Konan turned over to Sakamoto who was leaning on the wall.
“The wall is disgusting why would you touch it?”
Minutes later, the door was opened by explosives.
“So you two gave up on the end huh?”
Sakamoto asked. Kahito and Hans advances into the hallway without a reply.
The hallway of this level even more disgusting than the last. Corpses of colonies of bugs and unidentified flesh were seen everywhere.
“Excuse me.”
Hyuuga walked to the side and vomited.
“This place is nasty.”
Kahito commented as scoped sample of the biomass on the floor and put it in a container.

Team continues down the hallway, as the smell gets worse until they reached a massive vault-like door that was clearly broken in.
Inside the room, there were shattered human-size biotanks that were covered with some sort of dead biomass. The rotten smell seems to be coming from this room.
The biomass seems to feeding off from whatever was in the tanks when it was alive, the masses were connected from one to another like a hive, extracting food sources from the biotanks.
The team puts on gas masks as they advances into the room with flash lights.
A massive PGRI and pre-war Imperial seal could be seen on the walls.
On the labels of in front of each biotanks, faded black and white picture could be seen along with documents scattered on the floor, covered in black liquid.
Kahito picked up these documents.
Each of these documents seems to be a documentation of people: Akemi Aokko, Matsumoto, Luka, Onigawara Himeko… etc.

Meanwhile Sakamoto walking around at the backend of the room discover an unusual placement of bookshelf. He then pushes it off the side.
An intact airlock-vault was there.
“Um guys?”

The airlock as opened by Koudai and Sakamoto by rotating the rusty handle as Kahito and the rest continues to check on the room. Koudai and Sakamoto entered the room without the team.

Kahito walked around carrying the documents, searching for hints or what happened here.
He then slipped onto something, something fabric like. Shining his flashlight on the object, it was.. apparently clothings and a shoe shoe of sort.
Why were there clothing and shoes laying on the ground?
He questioned as he got up as he looked around the surrounding floor.
Clothings pants, shoes, glasses alike were on the floor. No corpses of sort. The amount of patient robe was almost everywhere on the floor, only covered by the flesh hive.
Realizing this, Kahito quickly ran to one of the biomass covered and filled biotanks to conform his suspicion.

Meanwhile what Sakamoto and Koudai in the hidden vault room was another biotank. But this one, was filled with an unusual spiecemen, frozen. A young female humanoid that appears to have feline features could be seen unconscious in the biotank with equipments attached onto her.
Right arm, there was a bracelet labeled: PGRI-044-21
Koudai walked over to the office desk, where the skeleton of a scientist could be seen sitting on the chair. It was the first human corpse seen, and it was clear that he locked himself in here and committed sucided.
As Koudai checks on the corpse’s ID card, Sakamoto accidently touched on the dusted covered console, which triggered a program to melt the ice within the tank.
“What the hell did you do. That thing is biohazardous!”
Koudai turned over and found the biotank has been opened.
Right after the liquid has drained below the girl’s face, she started coughing, and eventually, opened her eyes, one blue, one yellow, both resemble the feline species.

Back in the main room, Kahito confirmed his suspicion. The bracelets he found on the floor, the numbers matches the documents and the biotank numbers. These were biotanks that the former Pure Gene Research Institution and Simon Mednelson used to hold humanoid experiments back in the early days of the United Kingdom.
According to the documents, these subjects were even earlier than the ‘Shinozaki Series’ the created SSS-053 and SSS-053-A. Possibility a failed project, and were replaced by the it.
However, the biomass that covered the the lab was another story.
The bracelets, clothing, accessories had been left on the floor untouched, and why wasn’t there a single human corpse found. Kahito concluded that they all have been either assimilated or consumed.

In the hidden vault with Sakamoto and Koudai, the girl who woke moments ago seems very, very confused and nervous and began to look around, as if she were a child search for her parents. Between the two soldiers, she caught a glimpse of the scientists skeleton who sucided.
She was staring straight at it without blinking, as tears began to flow from her eyes, she leaped between the two soldiers and got over to the skeleton.
She cried, hard.
That scientist must have been someone close to her, Sakamoto thought.
She tries to hug the skeleton but it falls apart as she hugs it, making her more depressed.
She calmed down after a while, and spoke in broken Candorian.
“Where? Himeko? Luka? Iffy? Aokko? Eva?....”
Without finishing it, she notices a door that leads to the main room, she quickly ran toward the gap between the wall and the heavy door. She slipped through the small gap as if she was as soft as a cushion.
“Did you see that!? She went through the bloody gap!”
Koudai said as he quickly followed and tried to open the vault that leads back to the main room.
Sakamoto quickly went over and helped.
Once it was opened.
The spiecemen was on her knees, in despair after seeing state of the room.
It was not the biomass, dried blood, nor smell that caused this, it was the status of the biotanks that once her friends were in. Now, they were filled with an unknown dead biomass.
As the other team member walked over to see what’s going on, the spiecemen notices a bracelet on the floor in front of her, written ‘PGRI-044-33:Akemi Aokko’. This caused her to completely breakdown. Her head was twitching when she turns her focus back at Sakamoto and Koudai, crying without blinking, in total despair.
Without any sign of warning she attacked Sakamoto, pushed him to the ground and took his pistol. Pointing at her own head, about to commit suicide after waking up going through all these. She pulled the trigger.
The pistol did not fire, she did not unlock the safety. Confused by this, she tried again and again, unable to fire, she put down the gun and sat on Sakamoto, staring at emptiness.
Hans, Kahito, Hyuuga and Konan rushed to the scene, and restricted the species men with handcuffs.


Access Granted(SSS Side)
Despite the fact flashlights being the only light source the Sphinx division has, the wet surface of the flesh covered hallway reflect the light and makes the expedition alittle easier practically, and uneasier mentally. Following Major Hans orders, operatives Kahito, Hyuuga, Konan, Koudai, Reiner, and Sakamoto continues to search for the clueless intruding Serpenteum forces in the abandoned PGRI facility in hopes of preventing a potential biological disaster.
With her hands restrained, the spiecemen slowly follows Sakamoto and Koudai the two who woke her from cold sleep. Holding onto the identity bracelet of what’s left her dear friends, she carefully avoiding unknown biomass on the ground, and stays close to the two.
Depressed and confused, waking up and found everyone she knew were assimilated by the mass, losing their individuality, leaving behind only their bracelet.
Looking at the bracelets in her hands, remembering the scenery she saw minutes ago.
Where those tanks were supposed to house her friends, until the doctors find a cure to their disease, they’ll be put into cold sleep.
That’s right. That’s what’s supposed to happen. Not this.
Everyone were just celebrating on Aokko’s birthday, even Dr. Reinhold was here.
It was the day before they were put into coldsleep, it was coincidentally Aokko’s birthday.
“He’s kind and caring, but he doesn’t come to the hospital very often. You know? He seems to be busy taking care of a child about the same age as us…. Huh? ..no she doesn’t have feline features like us, it must’ve been a different sickness. Her name?.... I believed it was… Zinosaki?” Luka explaining the mysterious doctor’s background in her memories of the party ‘yesterday’
“Oh, I want to meet her.” Aokko commented from the sofa. “There’s still time before the party, let’s find Dr. Reinhold! With me?” Aokko asked her, she was read a picture book on the beanbag.
From her memories they three agreed, and left the nursery room, in search of the doctor.
In the end they didn’t meet the girl, but they were successful in dragging the doctor in the party.
These memories were as clear as if they were yesterday.
That’s right… as if they were yesterday. They were yesterday.
And then, after Aokko’s birthday party….. Eh?
What was after the party?
She tries to remember, but it was all blank.
Confused and scared, she continues her attempts to remember.
“Promise to find me once you woke up”
Wasn’t sure whether it was a memory or a hallucination, but at that moment she did hear it from behind, perhaps a white figure.
She stopped turned around, it was the pitchblack hallway, nothing else.
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
Operative Koudai asks as he turns around and shines the flashlight to the back. The entire group then stopped taking caution.
“Voice... “
She answered with her broken Candorian.
The Sphinx division stayed quiet for a while, only the sound of dropping liquids could be heard. Nothing more nothing less.
“She’s hallucinating.”
Major Hans commented and started moving again as the rest followed.
“Let’s go.”
Sakamoto said to the spiecemen who still stares into the darkness on the other side of the hallway.
It must’ve been a hallucination.
Looking onto the blood stained bracelet in her hands, she thought.
But… what if…
Ignoring her thoughts, she turned around continues to follow the group, she felt that there’s always a figure that stares at them in the dark.
The group soon finds themselves in front of a dead end, the end of the hallway which was supposed to be a gateway to the level’s lobby area was blocked by a living biomass, that seems to be pulsing.
“Ugh, this way is no good.”
Hyuuga said unpleasantly, trying to not throw up again.
“Judging from the map we saw on the wall earlier, I don’t think there’s another way.”
Konan added as he turns around and shines his flashlight to the way where they all came from.
“I guess It cannot be helped.”
Kahito muttered as he takes out a sharpoon, and stabbed it in the living biomass’s pulse. A jet of dark red substance hits Kahito’s helmet, then the ceiling. Dissolving the camouflage paint on his helmet.
“It’s corrosive! Get awa-”
Before Kahito could finish his warning the biomass healed itself, closing the wound and growing onto the sharpoon, assimilating it.
“How… horrifying, the rapid growth…”
Konan commented, horrified, backing off a bit. Hyuuga walks over to Kahito, checking on his helmet.
“Are you ok?”
She asked.
“I’m fine. The substance only dissolved the paint.”
Kahito replied as he turned over to the side shining onto biomass covered skeletons of scientists.
“Don’t let the active ones touches you. It seems to be similar to an invasive fung, except for the fact that it resembles an animal more than plants.”
He explains, following the source of the veins on the biomass covered corpses with his flashlight, leading back at the living biomass blocking the door.
Kahito looks at Major Hans, the two nodded at each other.
“We’ll burn it.”
Hans ordered as Kahito takes out a cartage of gasoline, pouring it onto the blob of flesh blocking the door.
“Everyone stand back.”
Hans ordered as the group hides behind a column, he then loads his rifle with incendiary round.
After making sure everyone is behind some sort of cover, he fired.
The specimen girl wasn’t sure what happened, but a warm bright light from that direction lit the hallway, somewhat pleasant after walking in pitch blackness for hours.
A humanoid figure watches them from the darkest end of the hallway before it dissolves into the mass when light reaches it.

“What the hell?”
Private Albu exclaimed as soon as they saw what was in the room. An unidentified substance was lining the floor and walls, causing every step to make a wet and mushy sound, and their eyes were wide at the sight of around a dozen skeletons littering the floor.
“What happened here?” Lieutenant Blaney whispered to himself, crouching over one of the skeletons, as his men covered their noses in disgust. The old skull had a bullet lodged inside of it, and the hand was still holding a rusty pistol. Upon further examination every skeleton in the room was more or less the same.
“What are you looking at, sir? We should get the hell out of here before we contract a disease if we haven’t already.” Private Torescu asked, gagging.
“Look at this, they had some sort of suicide pact. Something happened here.”
“No sh*t, sir. They were probably locked inside or something. Do you really want to join them? Let’s get the hell out already!”
“We are staying, that’s an order. Whatever this stuff is, it has to have a source.”
His men reluctantly obeyed, grumbling to themselves and occasionally vomiting over the nasty floor.
Holding tissues to their noses, they slowly walked through the rooms, the horrid smell growing more and more repugnant. At the end of their last hallway, lieutenant Blaney turned the handle of the end door, only to find that it’s stuck.
“Locked. Looks like the door hinges are rusty, we can break through with ease. 3..2..”
Just before he was about to push the door down, they heard a faint boom followed by a low growling noise coming from somewhere on the other side of the door.
“Oh hell no… We should turn ba-”
“Silence, private. Keep your guns ready. If something exploded, maybe there are survivors…”
“Good lord… you’ve gone mad. Do we really want to know what’s in there? Because I sure as hell don’t want to die in this place.”
Blaney ignored Albu’s complaint, and began the countdown again. “3...2...1…”
The door collapsed instantly.

As the lights from their flashlight shines into the room dark red liquid drips from the mushy flesh covered ceiling. Lowering their focus from the disguising ceiling, a pale humanoid figure could be seen staring at the wall, startling the team. Albu move slightly backward, wanting to leave.
Lieutenant Blaney and Private Korutsk focuses their lights onto the naked humanoid figure, judging from the back, it seems to be genderless.The mysterious humanoid kept staring at the wall, and the investigation team stood still. That was until the verteran Korutsk himself made the first move of approaching the figure. Slowly, and steadily stepping into the room. Entering it, he realizes the flesh that is covering the floor is different from those outside, it was fluid filled, and fresh, the more he approaches the humanoid figure the harder it was to lift his leg...the harder it was to lift his leg.
Something was clearly wrong, Korutsk looks down onto his shoes, it was already covered with veins like roots growing from the biomass. “What-”
Looking up again, facing the humanoid figure, which was still staring at the wall, no movement. Just when he begins trying to lift his legs out of the biomass, The humanoid fell flat onto the floor, dissolving to the flesh covered floor. Before Korutsk could react, liquid like biomass pours down and completely covers Korutsk before the internal muscle drags him to what else through the ventilation.
Blaney order the rest to open fire at the liquid-like biomass, however it hardens with each bullet piercing it.
“It- it’s not working at all!” Albu said in a cowardly voice, slowly retreating from the room. Just as Albu stepped outside the room, a rapid spear like harden mass pierced and stabbed him to the wall, starting to assimilate his body into a chunk of red mass from the wound slowly.
Shocked by the scene, Blaney ordered an immediate retreat from the area.
“Are we not going to save Albu!?”
Private Feroscu asks, as they retreat from the room. Looking at the state Albu is in, Blaney did not answer.
Without warning spears of the same type grew from Albu’s wound and targeted the team.
“Don’t let that touches you!”
Blaney shouted, dodging one of the incoming ones, while his helmet deflected another. Unexpectedly, the assimilated wound on Albu begins to fire these biospears on both sides of the exit, blocking their escape to the hallway. Private Toescu the cold hearted technician, fired at Albu who was still remain human at the time, direct hit to his upper pulse, losing pressure, the cage like biostructure soften as he cuts throw them with his knife. Ignoring Albu’s painful scream which clearly suggested his nervous systems were merged.
Completely speechless by Toescu’s cruel action, Blaney and Feroscu followed Toescu and escaped, hearing a vague and faint young girl’s voice from the room behind which they both depicted as hallucination.

Teardrop Plague
The dreaded new disease, Sanguis Oculus, has been spreading at an alarming rate. The military in the south has begun suffering extensive casualties. To make matters much worse, deserting soldiers trying to flee the fatal infection have inadvertently spread it into the countryside of Speriat. The Khonar government has been making extensive efforts to combat the spread of the disease, quarantining a few towns near Dainui and fully replacing a few trenches with fresh recruits to check all the former men there for the plague. A second national emergency has been declared at the same time, and the Community calls for medical help in finding the cure.

Access Granted: Serp

After speechlessly running back through the halls of the underground complex for around 15 minutes straight, the adrenaline of the men wore off and they collapsed in a relatively dry room breathing frantically. Lieutenant Blaney had been trained to be calm under pressure and he had seen battle many times before, but what he had witnessed in that moist, dark room was simply surreal. After catching his breath he realized they needed a plan.

“So…now that we are far away from whatever the hell that was, we need to decide on our next move. I don’t know what the hell happened to Albu and Korutsk, but I know Albu is still alive and I’m not letting him die in this place letting that thing do whatever it wants to him.”

Immediately, and to the shock of the others, private Feroscu finally talked.

“With all due respect sir, how do you plan on doing that? I don’t disagree that we need to stop that thing and save the others if we can, but these guns didn’t even dent it. If it was contained here by these corpses, maybe they had some weapons that could stop it. We can’t just walk back in there and expect to live.”

Blaney stood in shock for a moment at how calm and composed he sounded compared to the others, but he realized that he was right.

“Yeah, that’s a good idea, private. Have you seen a map or-”

“Sir, where’s Torescu?”

Blaney looked around the room, and to his horror, the explosives expert had disappeared. Before he could even call out Torescu’s name, he heard a speaker from a few rooms away: the entrance.

“Access granted. Backup door employed.”

The sound of a vault door confirmed their worst fears. Escape was no longer an option. They were locked in.



Edokyuuria ruins, Edokyuuria Crater, New Senate Terminal
Outside on the destroyed and melted exterior of the megastructure, Shinozaki approaches the transport helicopter, ignoring the words of those around her as heavy rain fall upon the massive crater at this silent night.
With determination, she steps onto the wet and reflecting landing pad. Nothing around other than the sound of waves hitting remaining ruined structure of the capitol that was destroyed during the last extraterrestrial war.
“Please wait a moment!”
MP officer Sutsushi Rika called as she follows Shinozaki into the heavy rain. Albert Lionheart, Victoria Achenbach, and Mashiro Fuyuki followed. Else Schnorr of the Neo-Fascist Union and Nicola Lafrenz of the United Socialist Party also followed the others.
“How do hell do you think I could sit tight when my sister and my acquaintance are missing!?” Shinozaki respond furiously.
“Please calm down, it’ll be a matter of time until we find her. We need you in the Senate Terminal during the current state of emergency! The government needs you! Former Chancellor Shinozaki Weiss Haru!”
Vice-GC Albert Lionheart shouted at the hooded Shinozaki waiting for the hatch of YAGR-N101 to lower.
“How many times do I have to say I’m not fitted to be a politician, Albert.”
Shinozaki respond as she accelerates toward the transport.
“By the foundation’s instruction, SSS-53, get away from the heli now.”
Vice-GC Victoria Achenbach ordered, in an instant the lights of surrounding section of the Senate terminal megastructure turned red.
Shinozaki turned around and glared at Victoria.
“Don’t you dare to stop me, old hag.”
Within a moment, a giant long spine skeleton-like sharp arms, four faced humanoid defensive mechanism rose from the lower floors.
“What the-”
Sutsutshi muttered, horrified by the scale of the mechanism.
“I see that your administration got some new toys, Mashiro.”
Shinozaki commented as the disturbing deformed humanoid defensive mechanism lights up a holographic halo above.
“Victoria! What are you doing!?”
Mashiro cried at her capable vice for the first time. Standing equally.
Surprised by Mashiro’s act, Victoria responded with a careful choice of vocabulary.
“I’m merely testing the Aragami prototypes on a potential Keter, your excellency Grand Chancellor.”
“There’s no need for-”
Before Mashiro could finish, the massive multi faced skeleton giant fired a thin beam weapon, and pierced through Shinozaki’s robe and the landing pad.
“This-”
Shinozaki muttered looking at the hole on her robe, then she quickly took out her c96 and quickly loaded explosive round onto it.
Aimed and fired at the many faces, slight glows on the rounds before exploding a meter before making contact with the target.
As the smoke and dust clears, a cracked frontal mask could be seen, no major damage.
“You’ve gotta be kidding me.”
Shinozaki mutters as the mechanism locks on to her with an anti-aircraft barrel.
“If we were to terminate you here, we’ll have one less of a rogue ex-bioweapons, won’t we-”
Victoria asks, before she could finish Mashiro rushed out to the platform under the terrible weather.
“What the- Mashiro get back here!”
Victoria shouted, taking a step out of the shelter from the heavy rain.
“It’s dangerous!”
Else shouted as she and Nicola tried but failed to prevent Mashiro from advancing any farther.
The AA on one of the mechanism’s many hands were loaded and fired.
Before both Shinozaki and the mechanism’s ATHENA ID recognition system could react, Mashiro was in front of Shinozaki, protecting her.
“Wha-”
Shinozaki muttered as she was covered by Mashiro’s shadows. The mechanism quickly advert the line of firing, however it was not quick enough to readjust the projectile’s vector.

Looking up to the megastructure that stretches into the stormy clouds as rain shower upon her face. She falls flat on the cold, wet platform, smiling.
The mechanism quickly went offline as the others from the building rushes over.
“Goddamnit, get the medical team up here right now!”
Else shouted at her SPs as they rushes back into the building to get help.

“Why are you smiling.”
Shinozaki asks the young head of state, as she held her in her arms. An AA single round has scratched on her torso creating a horrifying deep wound as blood drips and mixes with the rainwater on the landpad.
“Fu… fu… that’s because I did something useful for once…”
She replied smiling, it was a smile of achievement, holding back tears of pain.
“That’s one stupid thing to put your life on line to.”
Shinozaki replied as Victoria facepalmed over at the corner, reflecting on what she did.
“Besides, you’ll have no choice but to stay back here… right?”
Mashiro explains her thought, looking up at her office in the distance.
“How thoughtful of you, little mastermind.”
Shinozaki replied, impressed by her successor’s little plan.
The medical team reaches the landing pad and carefully put Mashiro on a wheeled stretcher.
“Oh… and remember to record MHK 2:00am -4:00am for me… gonna catch up on those shows when I get back...”
Smiling while she requested, Mashiro was taken away on the wheeled stretcher, still bleeding.

Entering the GC office once again. Shinozaki inspects the room more carefully. Despite the fact this isn’t the one she worked in, the interior design felt somehow nostalgic.
“So they’ve even recreated this place in this new megastructure of triumph…”
Albert and Sutsuhi kept quiet as they follow her.
Walking over to the office table, Shinozaki pushed off the messy piles of documents as she touches the surface of the wooden table.
The cold hard feeling of the surface of the wooden table reminded the fallen ones who were with her on her journey during her service as fuhrer chancellor a year ago.
The heart of all tragedies within this nation and the source of her suffering for the past 30 years, she is now standing on top of it once again, the axis that the united kingdom has also revolves around, this surviving rebuilt megastructure. The tower that has always been drowning those below under its pitch black shadow. The beginning of every tragedy, and they’ve rebuilt it.
“Tell me, Sutsushi, Albert, has anything changed between now and then?”
She asks the two young officers as she sat on the office desk.
“...-”
“Yes, things have changed.”
Sutsuhi answered before Albert could think of one.
“This place was the source of tragic genocide and suffering of millions. However, that was in the past, Shinozaki.”
Sutsushi explained, taking a breath.
“Whether or not this megastructure is a symbol of triumph, that was in the distance past you and your sister have burned and buried deep below where we stand. While this place may have built upon the previous, it is current a symbol of unity and safety…. While the ‘past’ may have been a [Harmony] based weapon of mass destruction, the ‘present’ is a defense mechanism that saves lives. Just look at the amount of civilian took refuge here.”
The young officer explained.
“In other words A gun doesn’t kill, but a person does?”
Shinozaki replied after carefully listening Sutsuhi. Taking off her hood, a half burnt face under partially white hair could be seen. Those were the scars she got when Mendelson pushed her into liquid nitrogen back during the internal administrative civil war.
Closing her eyes, covering her ears. Focusing her senses as SSS-053.
A faint mechanic heart beat could be heard deep deep underground.
“The heart of the nation, so it really exist.”
She muttered.
“Is there something wrong?”
Sutsuhi askes, not sure on what Shinozaki meant.
“Nothing. Anyway. What’s the situation on the Serpenteum front?”



Access Granted(SSS Side)
The destroyed door leads to a dark massive lobby and also an elevator shift. Just like the previous hallway, it is covered in roots like dried flesh and biomasses. The smell of rotten flesh were ever stronger than before. Holding onto her breath, operative Hyuuga still hasn’t gotten used to the strong smell unlike the rest of the Sphinx division.
Hans quickly took out the map, Kahito approaches to help with locating existing staircases to the upper floors.
The specimen girl started Looking around this once populated place, she notices the crayon drawings on the walls 20 years ago. Back in a simpler time, when they were scrolled by doctors for doing that, and chased down the hallway of the orphanage-hospital.
That drawing is now covered in rust and veins extended from the mass. So are the other chairs, plants, toys, and dolls.
“There should be a main staircase around here within this enclosed space.”
Hans said, then ordering the rest of the team to find it.
Left alone with her held together by the handcuffs. The girl wanders around the room as she inspected every memory of every detail left behind ever since from that day.
Walking up to the drawing on the wall. The drawing Aokko and Luka did when she first arrived here.
“It’s a welcoming gift.”
When the elevator door opens to the lobby, that was what Aokko said smiling, welcoming her to join the family here, she remembers it very clearly. It was a treasure within her memories.
Looking at the drawings she unconsciously slowly raising her hand and reaches for it.
Brushing off the dust and other unknown contents that covered it.
Accidently touching one of the tried biomass.
A faint sound of a girl’s singing could be heard for a moment, and something, a white figure seems to be standing at the corner of her sight.
Turning her focus toward the white figure, there was nothing, it was a hallucination.

“Konan, I think this is it.”
Sakamoto shines his flashlight at the dried biomass covered door, only a small portion of the exit sign were exposed.
“Well. let’s start by cutting the edges from the wall.”
Konan replied, then reported to Hans and the others, walking passes the rotten flesh covered chairs, toys and many other ruined furniture.

And again, a girl’s singing voice could be heard in the girl’s head as she touches the veins on the wall.
“Aokko?”

Suddenly an active spear of biomass broke through the ventilation and invaded the room.
“What the-”
Kahito mutters as he looks at the ever expanding masses from the ventilation.
“Permission to fire dimethylmercury rounds granted, fire at will.”
Hans announced as he loads the A² round magazine into his rifle. The others quickly followed, the procedure and fired.
The poisonous rounds landed and penetrated the approaching abomination.
“Now it’s only a matter of time until-”
Before Kahito could finish, the fleshy biomass disassembles itself, disposing of mercury poisoned parts. Those parts would then fall to the ground.
“That’s not enough, keep firing!”
Hans ordered, while the rest of the team fires and prevent the growth of the mass, Sakamoto and Kanon continues to cut open the door to the staircase.
“We can’t hold it back any longer!”
Kahito shouted, kept firing at the source of the invading biomass. Unexpected, Hyuuga’s rifle jammed.
“Eh?”
Before she realizes it, a presence of something of a certain mass and quick was behind her. The spiecemen girl held tight onto the ID bracelets and looks at the scenery horrified, unsure of what to do.
Hyuuga looks over to the girl, horrified by what’s about to happen herself.
“Hel-”
Her words fails to finish, a multilimb extension from the biomass quickly dragged her away to the ventilation.
Her painful screaming could no longer be heard the moment she was stuff inside it.
“Hyuuga!”
Kahito calls, but no response from the hanging body of her.
“What in the f-”
Konan muttered, but he was cut off when Sakamoto opens the door to the main case.
“It’s open! Everyone get in here!”
He shouted as he held the door open for the rest.
Just as Kahito, Konan, and Hans went inside, Sakamoto realizes the spiecemen girl was still standing there at the other end of the room, terrified.
“Forget the spiecemen!”
Kahito said, telling Sakamoto to close the door and retreat to the high floors.
“Tsk- What are you doing over there, kid!? Get over here!”
Sakamoto shouted, but there was no response from the girl. It was as if she passed out standing.
“Sakamoto, close the damn door!”
Kahito ordered.
Ignoring his supreior’s orders Sakamoto rushed out toward the girl as Konan provides him cover fire by poisoning and destroying the surrounding biological obstacles.
Just as Sakamoto reached within a meter of the girl, the rapid growth of a biomass that originated from the fallen operative’s body approaches the two rapidly.
“Wha-”
Konan muttered, totally caught off guard, he continues to fire at the approaching mass, but it didn’t decay nor disassemble from the mercury poison.
Knowing they have nowhere to run, Sakamoto embraces the girl, knowing it’s a useless attempts to protect her.
However the rapid spear of biomass was split just above the two, as if it there was an invisible field.
Didn’t waste a second, Sakamoto pickup the girl and ran for the staircases as the rest of the team provides him cover.
The rest closes the door immediately right after two went in, and blocks it with coffins they found under the stairs.
“This place isn’t safe, head up!.”
Hans ordered as the Sphinx division heads to the higher floors. Just the team reaches two floors above the door below has been breached.
“Take this!”
Kahito muttered as he threw a molotov he made earlier from the ingrecredienes in the abandoned labs.
The fire quickly spread onto the approaching biomass and started burning it from the surface tissue.
“It’s always fire that ensures the dark stays dead, well dead.”
He muttered as he catches up with the group.



(Feng)
Away at TW-1 (response to United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor)
As Consort Jin birthed her baby, Lianxin, Zhengzhu, and Mingyu followed Tatiana and Graf down an endless stairwell. The three Feng agents were wearing their evening robes, silken robes with wide sleeves that swept the ground and trailing skirts. Their hair was studded with jewelled combs and golden pins, and earrings adorned their ears. Mingyu yelped as her feet tangled within her robe, which were longer than the others, trailing two feet. "What did I say about not bringing full trailing robes?" Lianxin said as she helped Mingyu to her feet.
"It's the only formal robe in my wardrobe though...." She replied. "Why stairs though? Don't we have elevators these days"

Graf shrugged. "We did not design the structure."

After what Mingyu described to be an eternity, the group finally made their way to the end of the stairwell. Below was a plain room with four elevators, a dimly lit. Above each were numbers 1-4.

"So" Zhengzhu said. "Which one."

Graf looked around. "Now if I remember correctly, it was... that one" He pointed at the elevator with the number four written on a sign above it.

"Ooooh" Zhengzhu replied. "The unlucky number."

"Why is it unlucky?"

"Cause, mandarin pronunciation for four sounds like pronunciation for dead. 四 and 死. Was that done on purpose to further discourage people from using that elevator?"

"I don't know, perhaps it was coincidental. Anyways.... elevator number four never opens unless your press..." He went to the button panel to the right of elevator four and pressed the up and down buttons at the same time. The elevator opened, revealing it's interior. As the group filed in, Graf then pressed the yellow call for assistance button. "Wait what are you doi-" Lianxin said before the elevator began to descend.
"That's how to get down to the pyramid"
Lianxin raised her eyebrows. "Clever, the way to the facility hides in plain sight~"

For some time, the elevator continued to descend before it groaned to a stop.
It opened, revealing a well lit hall built from mostly metal. Serpentine pipes coiled on the ceiling while lights on servers flashed on and off.
"We're here"


SSS 11th branch, under TW-1/Yotsubishi Heavy Industry Eastern Branch
“Sense anything?”
Graf askes Tatiana who walked out of the elevator first.
“What?”
Zhengzhu askes, very confused. But she was told by Graf to be quiet as Tatiana listens with her eyes closed.
A faint, mechanical but rapid mechanical sound was getting closer and closer.
Its crawls were almost perfect in pattern of the next, making it difficult to identity from environmental mechanical sounds.
Tatiana opens her eyes, stares at the intersection in the distance.
“Aragami.”
She replied to the Graf, before the group could react, Tatiana had already taken out and assembled a shortened version of the wz 35 anti-tank rifle.
“What did she-”
Mingyu asked but she was interrupted when Tatiana fired with on knee down, not once, three times.
The shells reaches landed on a black and white masked slender mechanical humanoid on all four with sharp claws that had just crawled into the target range at an unbelievable speed. Piercing and destroying the white mask of the crawling android.
“A Ravager…. ”
Graf muttered as he leads the other three clueless fengese out of the elevator while Tatiana provides cover.
“What the hell are those things!?”
Mingyu askes, disgusted by the horrifying designs of those defense mechanisms.
“Those are the United Kingdom’s new toys to replace us.”
Graf answers, loading armor piercing rounds on his G36. Taking a look around, seeing another door perpendicular to the elevator shaft. He signals Tatiana the place to retreat to.
“Don’t let those things get close to your, they’ll literally turn you to sashimi without clean cuts.”
Graf explained to Zhengzhu as he leads the three to safety.
“What about the kid!? Are you just going to leave here there!?”
Lianxin askes Graf.
“Turn around and look at her.”
Graf replied without looking back.
Lianxin turned around and saw what the foundation so call anomalies.
Dodging the swinging knife like claws, Tatiana stabes and pulls a sharp shard of unknown material she had brought with her. Cutting open the crawling horror one by one, while her wounds heals.
“Just what is she…”
Lianxin askes.
“The protagonist of a tragedy.”
Graf answered vaguely leading the three out of the area, leaving Tatiana behind dealing with the mechanisms.

Walking passes the empty hallway, hiding from different classes of ‘Aragami’ the four takes a break at one of the storage rooms as Graf looks at the documents Akima provided.

Read dispatch

SSS 11th branch, Under TW-1/Yotsubishi Heavy Industry Eastern Branch
Breaking into the containment chamber, the Fengese-SSS3B agents were stunned at the scenery of the beautiful anomalous light emitting blood red stone.
“That’s… the legendar-”
Fengese agent Mingyu muttered but she was quickly interrupted by an alarm.
“Great. Now what.”
Mingyu asked, slightly frustrated by their failures to intrude without trigger any alarm.
“Isn’t it obvious?”
Graf took the lead and charges toward the stone as he fires at the CCTV.
“We take the stone and get out here?”
Zhengzhu asks sarcastically as she follows.
“Mingyu! Lianxin! Don’t let anyone of those sentries enter!”
“Roger!”
Guarding the entrance with heavy fire as the other two arrives at the transparent container.
Zhengzhu tries breaking it by smashing it, however it still held together fine.
“That thing is transparent aluminium… stand back-”
Before the old man finishes, he fired at the container several times, making a circular shape, kicking down the isolated piece, creating a hole. At the same time, Zhengzhu quickly took out a metallic briefcase, and a tong.
Carefully clipping the tong onto the crystal.
“Careful now.”
Graf advised her. Making Zhengzhu slightly nervous.

“Mingyu! There’s one at 9 o’clock!”
Lianxin warned her teammate as a Ravager-Class Aragami sentry is crawling, and closing in like a spider..
Mingyu quickly let herself fall backwards and retreat into the chamber before the Ravager-Class’s claws could reach her.
“You escaped death, girl.”
The old man said as he fired right at the Ravager-Class’s cold white mask, shattering it, disabling its main sensors.
Mingyu then fires at the mainframe, destroying it.
“Got the stone?”
She asks Zhengzhu who was now holding onto the briefcase, standing behind her.
“Of course!”

Making their way back to the elevators, a whole division Aragami sentries were destroyed, mountains of shattered mechanical humanoid parts were everywhere.
At the middle of the room, a young girl with blood flowing down her face was sitting on top of a unit with a fading light in its eyes.
She kept stabbing at the unit’s armor, little bit and little bit, the armor was chipped away by her baynote on her rifle.
As the last of her wound healed, she finally snapped the armor, pulling the trigger while it was stuck inside. She did not blink, nor hesitate. The last unit was destroyed.
However she didn’t stop, as if she was on autopilot.
“Tatiana! Hey!”
Graf called out to her, but she didn’t hear. She was too focused on her given mission.
“That’s enough, it’s already dead.”
Graf quickly walked over to Tatiana and stopped her continuous stabbing on the Aragami sentry.
However she was still obsessed with her world, paid no attention to her surroundings.
There wasn’t any feeling of guilt, responsibility, nor hatred. It was simply her duty. That is right, it’s her duty.
“Tatiana!”
Graf shouted as he embraces her.
“It’s ok now. Don’t think about it.”
In Graf’s embrace, she turned her focus to the piles of mechanical parts everywhere, from the units she single handedly destroyed.
Looking at the ravager’s sensory eyes.
‘Am I…. different?’
She thought, confused.
She and ‘them’ were made for the same purpose. Can be recreated and mass produced.
But why? Why is this old man spending so much time taking care of her? Is it because she is the last of her kind? Was it an order to protect her? No. It couldn't be. Having a human protecting a bio-sentry is illogical and impractical. Why? Why? Is it because she looked humanoid? Null, Ravagers are humanoid.
System Error.
Warning, amygdala defect defected.
Reset? <y/n>

The first thing she heard after returning from her processing unit, Graf was carrying her on his back as the five enters the elevator.
Mingyu and Zhengzhu kept spraying to keep the incoing the Aragami units while Lianxin closes the door.
The door closes as everyone lowers their weapons and sighed.
“We made it. Somehow.”
Mingyu said, sitting on the ground as the elevator ascends.
Tatiana cleans her blood covered face with her sleeves, the three Fengese agent were still speechless, seeing the child soldier in her monstrous self.


SSS 11th branch, Ballroom, TW-1/Yotsubishi Heavy Industry Eastern Branch
“Good job on distracting em”
Akima complimented Hijikata as the await the rest of the team’s return.
The party resumed as if nothing had happened. The blackout distraction the two had caused seems to be treated as a generator malfunction.
“It’s should be about time-”
“Aren’t you Akima Koutetsujou?”
Akima muttered but he was interrupted by a voice of a middle age woman standing beside him.
It was Soua Lam, the director of the 11th Branch, the final boss!
Goddamnit, why do you have to appear now!?
Akima thought, while keeping a smile as he greeted her.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you ma'am.”
The two starts an awkward frenemy conversation as Hijikata quietly moves away.
“I see that the 1st has issued an order to send forces to investigate the Sebastijan empire.”
“Is that so ma’m?”
Pretending he didn’t know about the letter he gave Edward earlier to handover to Miss Lam.
“Don’t you think it’s strange? Mr Koutetsujou?”
“Why is that? Ma’m?”
“The only DDH we have, URN Graf Zeppelin has been sent to Wasari, leaving the newly constructed facility defendless?”
At this point, Akima knew Miss Lam is just toying with him, she is aware of his plans.
“I’m sure those Ashigara-class is capable of defending this place… Miss Lam.”
Trying his best to extend the conversation, In his head, he hoped Graf and the Fengese team would be back now. He can’t hold this conversation any longer.
“If you say so, Mr Koutetsujou. Since you’re the navy’s second in command.”
The director smiled.
“Please to praise me, ma’m..haha-”
“However-”
“Eek”
“However, Mr Koutetsujou, I’ve heard of a submarine…”
At this moment, Akima knew, he screwed up. The United Kingdom did not have any modern submarines. However, there is one exception.
“Does the project named Colossus, ring a bell? Mr Koutetsujou?”
“Pardon?”
The show must go on, Akima kept pretending to be innocent.
“Oh? Hasn’t Inaban told you? The 13 Colossus?”
“Ma’m I have no idea what you’re-”
Before Akima could finish it, The director pulled out her c96 pointing at Akima secretly.
“Let’s stop this act of yours. Your acting is as bad as ever, my boy-”
A shot was fired, it wasn’t from the director. The hall was stunned by the loud gun fire.
Akima slowly turned at his back, Tatiana fired, from the emergency exit.
“Now she’ve done it.”
Hijikata sighed, looking at the scene from a distance.
Taking this chance, Akima quickly knocked the gun off the director’s hand.
“So you’re after the red stone? Even though it’s against foundation regulation?”
The director asks, as the disguised guards open fired at the Graf’s team.
“Just trying to save my boss and the world here.”
Akima took out his pistol pointed at the director as he retreated to regroup with the rest.

“Now what!?”
Lianxin shouted as she takes cover behind a column.
“Yeah kid! How are we supposed to get off this artificial platform? It’s a goddamn fort!”
Graf asks Akima, as Tatiana threw away her G36.
“Out of ammo.”
She reported.
“No worries, old man. We’ve got uber.”
Akima responded, breaking the window.
“This way!”
“Are you crazy!?”
Zhengzhu shouted, looking at Akima standing on the window frame about to slide down into the sea.
“Come with me if you want to find out!”
Just like that Akima jumped out the window and slides down the dome of TW-1, leading to the sea.
“This is the last time I’m taking order from the navy! You’re all idiots.”
Graf quickly picked up Tatiana and jumped out the window.
Leaving behind Hijikata and the three Fengese agent.
“Well.”
“...”
Moments later all four of them jumped.

Back in the ballroom, the guards quickly approaches the director.
Checking on her wound on her hand as they report the situation to her.
“Why don’t we give them some fun? Deploy the Ashigara-Class destroyers! Prepare anti-submarine warfare! Turn them to scrap.”
“Roger!”
“Haha, Akima… hide and seek huh?”

Three Ashigara-Class destroyers were quickly mobilizated, turning on their search lights.
“Sir! Unregister submarine detected on radar!”
“The lady said turn them into scrap.”
“Roger!”
Missiles were then fired from the destroyers targeting the unregister submarine.
Moments later, several surface-to-air missile emerged from water, intercepting them.
“Sir! They were inter-”
Before the rader office could report, the unregister submarine was changed to [Allied] on their systems.
“Captain! The unregistered ship is being listed as [Allied]! They’ve overwritten our system!”
“No..”
The strange shaped submarine surfaces. She was bigger than anything in the United Kingdom database. The design terrified TW-1’s forces. Shaped like a starving whale with the wings of a stingray. No matter how one looks at her, she was not built conventional use.
She was built for a specific purpose.
A hatch of a small bump has opened, a AGS-X could be seen.
Before the TW-1 forces could react, the colossus fired. Destroying and snapping the ship’s radio tower as a warning.

The director took a good look at the unregistered submarine from the ballroom.
“Gaghiel…So that’s her name, Colossus Gaghiel.”
She muttered as she watches the monster submerges.


Peninsula Hotel, Colonial Hong Kong, United Kingdom
Following Graf, Tatiana and Hijikata, the three Fengese agents walked into the hotel lobby.
Far from the luxurious place they expected.
It was an old apartment refit for a hotel. A perfect hideout.
“That’s some interesting choice you people got here…”
Zhengzhu said as she inspect the rusty the handrail built into the walls.

The moment the door was opened, Okita who was left behind to take care of Inaban inside the hotel room took aim at the group.
“You bloody scared me!”
Akima complained, who happens to be the one to open the door.
“I thought we’ve agreed on a password?”
Okita questions Akima as he lowers his rifle.
“And, Akima, who are these people?”
“They’re Mingyu, Zhengzhu, and Lianxin, Fengese intelligence. Okita.”
Graf answered for him.

Putting the briefcase on the table, Zhengzhu then unlocked it, a bright red stone could be seen.
“So that’s the thing the foundation retrieved from the wealther’s blacksite?”
Okita asked, taking a closer look.
“Let’s get the operation started.”
Akima ordered as he walks over to Inaban room.
“Wait- What!? What do you mean!? How do you like- use this piece of rock!?”
Hijikata asked, very confused.
“Ask those three over there, if anyone, it’s them.”
Akima replied before entering the room.

The situation was worse than he imagined. Heartbreaking, almost.
Tissue covered in blood was everywhere in the room.
Upon hearing footsteps, Inaban, opens her eyes, turning her pale face dooring the source..
“First Officer Koutetsujou Akima, reporting for duty.”
Akima said as he sits next to her.
“It seems you’ve made it back, idiot.”
She replied in a weak voice with a smile.
“Obviously!”
Akima replied, then reached out for her cold hands.

Carefully laying Inaban down on the sofa, the group prepares for the operation.
A strange lens prepared by Mingyu on the table, in front of the red stone. Focusing the reflecting light onto Inaban.
“In theory, this minimal setup should be able to draw out the power within the legendary crystal.”
Mingyu explained, as she checks her notes on her phone.
“Great, in theory.”
Hijikata muttered, scratching his head.
“Well, what did you expect, these are mythical entities.”
Lianxin said to Hijikata, slightly frustrated by his attitude.
“What is the rate of success?”
Akima asked the expert as he walks over to the Inaban once more.
“We don’t know.”
Lianxin replied.
“...”
The room was silent for a moment until Inaban resumed the conversation.
“Why the long face? Raise your heads.”
She said as she smiles.
“But, Inaban-”
“There’s no but, Akima… haha”
Keeping her optimistic views, as always.
“Are you crying?”
She asks Akima, seeing his teary eyes.
“No. Something went into my eyes. You’re crying!”
He lied, rubbing his eyes.

Tatiana watches the two closely and curiously.
There are so many things she still have yet to understand. Why are the two of them crying? They’re not in any form of physical pain. Why is everyone staying so quiet?
Why?

“I have something to tell you-”
Akima whispered to Inaban lying on the sofa, he was interrupted by Mingyu, who was resumed reading her notes.

“The legend as it, using the stone, comes with a cost. The user will be corrupted and fall into madness.”
Mingyu finishes reading her note in depressing tone.
Graf turned away to look at the wall in frustration.
Okita and Hijikata looked at each other.
“In order words, it’s a trade.”
Lianxin commented.
“There’s no such thing as creating something out of nothingness, even the legendary ruby is also bounded such law of the natural world….”
She added, turning away from the group, facing the window.

“Nevermind that.”
Akima said to Inaban, he then immediately stood up and walked away from the sofa.
“I’ll do it.”
He volunteered.
“What are you saying? Akima?”
Inaban called, having difficulty breathing.
“Stop being so selfish! How do you think I could possibility continue living knowing that you traded your life in return for mine!”
Inaban forcefully lift herself up from the sofa, shouting at Akima.
“Yes. It is selfish, but I want you to live.”
“What are you saying!? Idiot!”
She reached her hand to Akima’s, holding onto him tight, preventing him from reaching the setup and the stone.
“Akima, no dead can take responsibility. You’ll leave a burden behind for her.”
Graf spoke, joining the drama.
“What am I supposed to do then, old man!?”

Tatiana look at the group arguing, she herself is confused by the situation.
Why are they arguing? Why won’t she accept to be saved, to prolong her life?
I don’t get it. Pride? Shame? Responsibility? I don’t get it.
I don’t get it-.
…-
Ah, I see...
(BGM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxsgYQouHiA)
Tatiana taps on Mingyu’s opposite shoulder, distracting her as she pickpocket her the Fengese’s phone.
Scrolling through the notes as she approaches the device on the table.

“Tatiana?”
Zhengzhu called in a faint voice, which caught Lianxin’s attention, causing her to turn her focus away from the window and back into the room.
“Girl, what are you…”
Akima muttered after he notice Tatiana’s approach to the table.
Before he realizes, he start to lose balance. A moment later, intense pain could be felt from his leg.
Tatiana shot him.
“What is the meaning of th-”
Zhengzhu shouted as she tried to grab her pistol for countermeasures, however she was not fast enough. The pistol was shot and drop from her hand.
“Tatiana! That’s eno-”
Graf called out to her, but he was also shot by Tatiana on his leg.
Her eyes were cold, and empty, as if one could be sucked inside the void of her iris.
Hijikata and Okita approaches from behind trying to stop her rampage, they ultimately fail when they trip on a wire Tatiana setup.
“When did she!?”
Okita muttered just before his face hit the ground.
“What is going on!?”
Mingyu asks the special United Kingdom task force.
Before she knew it, Tatiana pointed her pistol at her.
“Do not interfere, outsider.”
The child soldier said in a cold robotic tone, which startled Mingyu and Lianxin.
“Taitana! Why are you doing this!?”
Inaban asks, holding onto the sofa, barely standing in place due to her constantly weakening body.
Tatiana did not respond, she took out an injection round and shot it at Inaban instead, paralyzing her.
Akima watches in horror as Inaban collapse onto the sofa, forcing himself to stand, the moment he stood, he was shot again on the other leg by Taitana.
“Stay still.”
Tatiana ordered. The group were frustrated and felt betrayed.
Ignoring them shouting at her, Tatiana takes her time and walks over to the table with the device.

“Why is she acting like this!?”
Akima asks Graf as he tries to reach for the pistol on Graf’s back.
“This is the first time-”
Before the old man could respond, Tatiana placed her hand onto the stone, adjusting the reflection angle toward the focus lens, which directs to Inaban.

At that moment the entire room was speechless, they’ve realized her intentions.
“Wait! Don’t!”
Graf shouted desperately trying to stop her.
A red barrier surrounding Tatiana and the device suddenly appeared from the ground as the crystal glows in the device, redirecting a bright sinful red light to the lens then reaching Inaban.
Mingyu rushed over trying to stop her, however she was blocked by the barrier.
Taking out her pistol, firing at the barrier. It was no use, the barrier is not of this world.

“Tatiana! You don’t have to do this! It should’ve been me!”
Akima cried, begging for her to stop the process.
At the same time, a dark aura began to surround selfless child soldier. The dark aura were then began to be absorbed into the crystal as the light shines ever brighter.

“Mission clarification. It is my duty to protect this nation’s future. End.”
Tatiana spoke without moving an inch, reporting as a machine.
“That’s the worst excuse I’ve ever heard! Stop clarifying this and that, like an Aragami unit!”
Akima shouted furiously.
“Action clarification, the current United Kingdom is in ruins, according to ATHENA the Admir-”
“Athena system this, Athena system that, I’m talking to you!”
“System to Akima Koutetsujou-”
“Tatiana!”
Graf called, interrupting the two’s conversations.
“You’re pretending aren’t you?”
Graf asks as he stood up, holding onto the wall. For just an instant, Akima saw her loses focus as the dark aura grew denser.
“System to Graf Hawk…”
Even she herself didn’t realize, she fails to answer in her system voice.
Trying to analyze the situation with the internal system, but she fails to do so, as it begins to malfunction. Her always empty eyes are now filled with life.

Graf…
.

Tatiana spoke, unlike her usual emotionless mechanical tone. Her voice was soft, and shaken up as tears builds up in her eye.
Pretending to be emotionless mechanism under the influence of the ATHENA system to save the admiral, putting all the blame on the system, so no one would feel guilty for her sacrifice.
That was what she planned, but seems like her closest one does know her.
“In order to gain something, something must be lost in return, Graf.”
She said quietly as the dark aura around her inside the barrier grew even denser, covering her lower half.
“Tatiana.. You don’t ha-”
“Its my decision.”
Tatiana turns her head to Graf and Akima and softly declared.
“It is my decision, not anyone’s, not the system’s, it’s mine alone.”
She declared with a smile.
“Why? Why does it have to be you!?”
Graf cried, now on his knees desperately wanting to stop her sacrifice.
Tatiana turned over to her supervisor and guardian, despite no touching the stone, the process is still being carried on autonomously.
“Father.”
She smiled as she called in a comforting voice. Shocking the scene all at once.
“Tatiana, I’m not yo-”
“As a clone, that’s how I see you.”
“Tatiana.. I- I..”
The two faces each other on different sides of the barrier, they were only an inch away, yet so far apart.
“Father, just like Dr Simon Mendelson said, this plague called human emotion will cloud and slow down decisions…. Yet… why… is it so beautiful? I can’t seem to control these… tears. Haha…. I’ve become weak haven’t I?”
Tatiana said quietly to Graf.
“...Tatiana, emotion will cloud one’s judgement and delay decisions without a doubt. Fear, hatred, sorrow, shame, pride… yes, we’re weak, and so? We will make mistakes, we’re not machines”
“... Father… you see… I’ve been thinking back there… am I any different from an Aragami sentry. I’ve been indiscriminately killing too many under the system… just like them. I’m scared of myself.”
“Tatiana…”
“Saving someone else means saving yourself...”
Tatiana said, just as the dark aura increase greatly, covering her shoulders.
“… so please, allow me to fulfill this selfish… Father.”
Tatiana said in a broken voice, she then turns back to the device.
“No.. no.. wait!”
Graf cried, trying to break the barrier.
“Take care, big sis(original).”
She said to Inaban, before a bright light from the crystal engulfs the room.

Access Granted: SSS-Serpenteum(Abandoned PGRI Facility)
Holding onto the rusty stair handrail as support, Kahito tried to kick open the door to the abandoned hallway of the top floor.
The door was locked tight from the otherside.
“I doubt there’s anything blocking from the otherside, but it’s locked, as if it wasn’t supposed to be opened.”
As Konan, Hans, and Kahito continues trying to break open the door, Sakamoto was sitting at the stairs with the specimen girl.

Thinking back on what happened down there, floors below. How Hyuuga died, and her last moments before she was dragged away by some monstrocity. What could’ve happened to her after she was dragged away? Those unsettling sounds and disturbing screams haunts him.
When he rushed out to save the specimen girl, he was sure he was done for as a spear shaped rapidly changing biomass was reaching for them, yet something happened, the spear was destroyed in midair. A miracle, maybe he could’ve traded places with Hyuuga for the Sphinx division, she is a much more capable person than he is.

“Mr?”
The specimen spoke quietly, without looking at him in the face. Probably still deciding on whether these people are trustworthy as she hides her tail.
“Yea?”
Sakamoto respond, slightly surprised, this is the first time she directly started a conversation with any of the Sphinx expedition division.
“Thank kyu.. Ver saving me back there…”
“Oh… umm… it.. Umm… you better not wander off on your own, its for your own safety.”
He awkwardly said, checking on his rifle.
“Marissa.”
“Huh?”
“That’s my name. Marissa. PGRI-044-21”
She quietly introduces herself, showing her bracelet identity code.
“Umm… I’m Sakamoto Ryoma.”
“Nyoma?”
“Ryoma”

“This thing won’t move at all.”
Konan complained, interrupting the two’s conversion.
“Should we try using explosives?”
Khaito suggested, looking at his dynamite.
“Oh hell no, I don’t want to wake up what behemoth down there.”
Konan responded, strongly showing disagreement on the use of explosives, as he exposes his fear.
“Ok now, will you two-”
Just as Hans tries to calm the two down, two streams of light could be felt from the door, moments later the door opened from the otherside.
Kahito quickly reached for his rifle and pointed at the light source, Hans followed.
“That’s rather disappointed, I was expecting our major to be better than this.”
“Respect your elders, Kahito.”

The door is now wide open, two wounded, soldiers of unknown nationality could be seen standing on the other side.
“Who the heck are you guys.”
Hans asked the two wounded soldiers, who are now putting their hands up, surrendering to the Sphinx.
As Hans and Kahito kept their rifles aiming at the two, Konan went and unarmed the two. He then caught a glimpse of an insignia of a serpent on their armbands.
“These idiots are serps.”

Even after explaining their situation, they’ve somehow manage to get the Sphinx division to believe what happened, since they’ve met the same anomaly.
“In other words, one of your men, Torescu ran off and locked both of you in?”
“That is correct.”
Lieutenant Blaney explained.
“You two serps knows that if your men didn’t come here in the first place, we wouldn’t be here right now, we would be having a drink back in Hexagon.”
Konan blames the serps for starting all this.
“Oh well? If is wasn’t for you Miotians who denied war crimes and inhumane experiments back in the 40s, this place would’ve been cleaned up by now in the 21st century, barbarians.”
Feroscu shouted at Konan, before getting kicked by him.
“Know your places, serps.”
“Cut it Konan, we need corporate if we want to get out of this place alive, our mission is to bring back the serp special operates, remember?”
Hans dragged Konan away from Feroscu.
“Fine.”

Since the exit to the surface is locked, the operatives had to search for another staircase to head back down to the bottom floor. The one they came from is believed to be occupied by the eldritch horror they encountered earlier.
Khaito and Blaney discovered an elevator shaft, however the heavy metallic doors were well sealed.
“Should we try blowing it up?”
Konan suggested blowing stuff up again, however Hans doubt the doors could be destroyed by the explosives they have easily.

Marissa was given a flashlight by Sakamoto, after she insisted on helping them.
“So your speech capabilities slowly returned?”
Sakamoto asked the girl as he scrapes off inactive biological material on the wall, trying to get a clear view of the map.
“Nya… Nye….Nii…Nou…. Nu….- Nya think sou... “
She replied as she provide light for Sakamoto.
Removing the last chunk of dried flesh, the map was complete. Sakamoto quickly notices there’s a generator on the other end of this floor.
“Guys!”
As Sakamoto calls the rest of the operatives to gather and discuss his plan, Marissa felt a strange vibration on the floor, it was similar to a heart beat.
Marissa looks into the void, to the otherside of the pitch black hallway.
For a second, she thought a girl in white was standing there.
“Marissa? Is there something wrong?”
Sakamoto called after seeing her staring into the void.
“Nyothing..”

The group slowly advances to the generator room, nothing seems out of place so far. Everyone seems to have gotten used to the rotten and gastric smell coming from the inactive biomass covering the layer.
“Come to think of it, Marissa… you’ve been holding onto those ID bracelets for quite sometime now. Do you know their owners?”
Sakamoto asked after noticing her constantly looking at them.
“Yes.. They belong to miya friends… in the orphanage down below.”
“Where we came from?”
“Nyot excatly. However it’s in the same floor… Mr, We’re going back down there right? Do you think they’re somewher-”
“The year is 2020, this facility has been abandoned for 21 years now, you survived because one of the scientists put you in coldsleep inside a vault.”
Before Marissa could express her optimistic views on the chance of surviving children, Kahito cut her off.
Her mutated feline ears lowers, staying silent after hearing Kahito’s harsh fact.
“Come to think of it… who is this Akko you’ve repeatedly mention about?”
Sakamoto asked, trying to change the topic.
“Akko, is cool. Akko is miya best friend, she always pulls pranks on the doctors. Causing trouble, etc… Akko is like the leader of the orphanage, she never cries, she is like a big sis to everyone.”
Changing the topic somehow cheered her up.
“That’s right! We had a birthday party… and then… eh? I can’t seem to remember…”
“That’s fine, don’t try too hard on it kid.”
Hans commented with a smile as he keep his rifle forward, leading the group.
“That’s strange… the doctors were preparing for the party… and then… we went out to the hallway.. And then… eh?”
Trying to remember what happened on January 4th 1999, however her memories seems to be incomplete.
“The hallway… and then… a new kid with Dr Reinhold..? No we were in the room the whole time… Akko even made her wish…”
Same time, however, two events overlap each other in her memories.
“If that’s the case… when did the hallway one happened….”

“We should sing happy birthday together!”
Luka, one of her friends suggested.
“Sing?”
Zinozaki asked as she seems very confused, a new kid Dr Reinhold brought to visit the facility that day, she seems to be covered in scars and wounds.
“That’s right, Shinozaki, the birthday song.”
Himeko, one of Marissa’s friends replied kindly.
-
“Happy birthday Akko, go ahead and make your wish.”
One of the doctors said with a gentle smile.
“I wish-”

What did she wish for? Why can’t I remember anything beyond this point?

Dr Reinhold is now seen carrying Zinozaki covered in wounds running away from her.
However, Marissa’s point of view is now on the ground.

Why was I on the ground? Which one comes first?

“Marissa!”
Sakamoto called, notifying her that they’re at the generator room.
“Are you ok? You were spaced out.”
“Ummm… Nyeah… just a little tired.”

The moment the door was opened, a strong wave of wind rushed inside the room, the air pressure inside was clearly different. The generator room was surprisingly clean compared to the rest of the facility. Dust were the only thing that covered the machines, strange. Brushing the dust off the controls, a mechanical keyboard could be seen.
“That’s definitely something you don’t see everyday…”
Konan said as he shined his flashlight to the levers on the side.
“Kids these days…”
Hans sighed as he walks over to generator unit.
“These things are over 20 years old, are sure they’re gonna work?”
Kahito asked, standing next to his boss.
“I don’t know, but they don’t look too rusty to me.”
“Tell me this won’t blow up.”
Feroscu said nervously as he puts a lamp on the floor.
“There’s no other way, Feroscu.”
Blaney silenced him, as Feroscu turns on the lamp.
The bright light shines and reflect from the smooth walls to every part of the room. As if it was a portable sun.
After a long journey in the dark, the lamp reminds them of the surface.
“It’s beautiful.”
Marissa muttered as she stares into the bright light. Even though it merely a rusty lamp, to her it was as bright as the sun she last remembered.

“3.. 2.. 1... “
Kahito turned on the switch as the aged generators slowly begins to move.
“It worked?”
Just as Konan commented on the generators. Two out of three of the generators died as a breakdown warning light was automatically turned on.
Moments later, the lights of the room and the hallway was turned on.
A bright red glow could be seen coming from the hallway due to the flesh covering the lights.
“Alright people, we need to be quick! Get back to the damn door before this last one breaks!”
Kahito shouted as he checks the status of the generator.
“You heard him! Move it, before that thing detects us!”
Hans ordered as the rest of the team began to assemble at the door.
Sakamoto and Marissa got up and started walking toward the door where the rest of the group were. However, the moment she gets up, a painful headache could be felt as her vision blurs.
Looking at the door, there was something else out there, not the serps nor the SSS.
It the familiar girl in white again, looking back at Marissa with a smile. However that smile slowly turns into a rather sinister one as her white dress slowly taints to red along with her legs.
“Akko?”
She called quietly, remembering the promise they made before she was put into cold sleep. The promise to find each other once they are awake.
That flashback was quickly interrupted when Feroscu fired at it. This time, it wasn’t a hallucination, there was something actually there. The bullet puts a hole into the mysterious figure’s body, however it quickly grew and regenerated the wound.
Before anyone could realize it, Feroscu was laying on the ground in a pile of his own blood with a fleshy root connected to his wound back to the figure.
Hans seems to shouting something as he takes aim, however the situation was too sudden and shocking to be able to hear his words, Marissa turns away from Feroscu’s lifeless body, back to the figure that resembles her friend, Akko. The figure’s expression never changed, it was still smiling at her. The longer she looks at it, the more uneasy she felt.
Sakamoto and the others were already firing at it, every felt so slowly to Marissa as she continues to stare at the mysterious figure. One by one, operatives were killed by its mutated extensions, the screams did not bother her at all. All she cares about is what’s in front of her. The more she thinks about it, the stranger it seems. Could all this have been a bad dream? The reality must be ‘that’ which is waiting in front of her. Slowly walking toward the figure, Sakamoto taking cover on the ground called out to her, however she wasn’t able to hear it, she was too focused in her own world.
She fails to notice how Hans was killed nor how Feroscu cries after losing both of his legs. To her this is all too horrifying to real. To her, a 21 year timeskip seems too absurd to be real. She, her friends and the doctors were only in the party an hour ago.
“Marissa!”
Sakamoto shouted, he grabbed onto her leg from the ground as he covers his wound on his shoulder. Waking up from her delusional thoughts, as splatter of fluids spilled onto her cheek.
A sharp spear like mass passed by her eye before she could react, hurting her mutated feline ear. Pain could only be felt moments later.
“It hurts.”
She cried, covering her ear as she leaned onto the generator. The moment, the figure stopped the attack, all the biological mass in the room stopped moving and dries up quickly. Noticing the unusual behavior of the mass, Marissa raise her head and look back at the figure, the replica of her friend. The Replica was no longer smiling, if anything, it was as if the replica was feeling sorrow.
The replica slowly melts into the biomass on the floor of the hallway.
“Wait!”
Marissa called as her vision somehow starting to blur out, perhaps an infection from the attack.
“Marissa!”

Before Marissa realizes it, she was standing in a clean bright hallway, with monitors displaying the surface on the sides. Crayon drawings on the side of the walls. Doctors with blurry faces were passing by, as if her existence was ignored.
“This is…”
Noticing a display nearby, she decides to walk over it.
It was a news broadcast about the upcoming election, they seem to call it the first step of democraziation. The election was the first Chancellor Fuhrer for the United Kingdom.
The date is Jan 4th 1999.
“I knew it, it has to be a dream-”
Just before she could finish, she realizes the blood stain on her face was still there from the reflection of the display.
“I guess not.”
Turning away from the display, three girls slightly younger than her passed by, they seemed to be playing tag.
“Let’s race to the party room!”
One of them shouted energetically.
“There’s no way I’m gonna lose, Akko!”
Another one response.
“Sigh… Wait!”
The last one with who had feline features, failing to catch up.
There was no doubt, she was viewing the past from a third person perspective.
“Hey now! No running in the hallway.”
A familiar voice said.
Turning on the opposite side of the hallway, Dr. Reinhold could be seen with the girl covered in bandages and wounds.
“Come on now, Shinozaki, don’t be shy.”
The Doctor said to the girl who was clinging to him.

Marissa follows them silently as she looks around the recreated scenery. She tried to touch the handrails, however her hand would just go right through. She was a spectator.
“Eh? This isn’t the party room…”
Marissa muttered after noticing Dr. Reinhold told a nurse to guide the girl he was with to the party room with the rest of the children.
Dr. Reinhold, went into one of the ‘restricted’ rooms that the kids were never allowed in.
Following her curiosity, she went through the door like a ghost.

“Dr. Mendelson?”
Simon Mendelson was there with Dr. Reinhold. On the other side of the reinforced glass, there was a boy around her age tied to a bed.
“I’m always against this method of yours, Mendelson.”
Reinhold said as he gave the data to his boss.
“You know very well aware that these children are still here is due to the mercy of the state, don’t you? Reinhold?”
“Of course we’re using the PGRI to protect them from the Omoikane Clan Purge as an excuse again.”
“Do I need to file a report to the Pupa council on you? Reinhold?”
“There’s no need for that, boss.”
“Good.”
“...”
“Did you know that boy over there volunteered himself, Reinhold?”
“Huh?”
“He said he wanted to save people.”
“Save people? How?”
Without replying to Reinhold, Mendelson finishes reading the data, he then walked over to the operators on the other side of the room.
“Prepare the miraculum cell injection experiment.”
He ordered.

Not before long, a mechanical arm with a needle of a transparent solution moves toward the boy on the bed, and injecting the substances into him.
“You do know risks of injecting that stuff into a child, don’t you?”
Reinhold questions his boss, who is currently standing close to the reinforced glass.
“We’ve already done countless experiments with human embryos. Only a few of them seems to be able to survive and develop immunities with a natural human embryo, Reinhold. We won’t know, if we don’t try.”
“Among the kids currently inside the party room, only Shinozaki Haru’s immunity is developed from a natural embryo base. You remember that the other kids immunities are from the modified genetics based on specific mammals. And now we’re going to do what? Blindly injecting these stuff into children, yes?”
The tension becomes heated between the doctors as the conversation goes on, the operators and nurses within the room stays silent.
“You’re going to weaponize the miraculum cell aren’t you?”
Reinhold stares into Mendelson’s eye, grabbing tight onto his folder.
“Like I said Reinhold, we’re going to treat cancer-”
“The miraculum cell is able to treat lung cancer is because we want it to. That report on engineered miraculum cell was total trash, the cell would just recover to its initial state, and develops however it wants. How do you explain the bone structure and contents of those kids back in the party room? I’ll be honest with you, boss. We don’t know a damn thing about those miraculum cell we dig found in the alien(Vril) tomb.”

Dr. Reinhold angrily stomped out of the room as Mendelson looks at him.
Not sure what she just witnessed, Marissa decides to continue following Reinhold out of the room.

Following the doctor, they arrived at the party room she remembers from her memories.
She sees her younger self and her friends were cleaning up the drawings they drew earlier.
The nurses then hands them on the wall as they kids passes the drawers to her.
Those were drawings of the surface, a wide grassland that goes all the way to the horizon.
“Come to think of it, we’ve not seen the surface, not even once did we?”
Marissa muttered as she walks over to see those drawings of the surface they imagined.

“We should sing happy birthday together!”
Luka suggested.
“Sing?”
Shinozaki asked as she seems very confused.
“That’s right, Shinozaki, the birthday song.”
Himeko, one of Marissa’s friends replied kindly.

“Happy birthday Akko, go ahead and make your wish.”
One of the doctors said with a gentle smile.
“I wish we will be cured and see the surface together!”
Akko declared happily, and blew out the candles.
“Shouldn't be more of a promise?”
Luka asked Akko with a smile. Akko pasued for a moment, looks at young Marissa who also responded with a nod.
“It’s promise then.”

“So that’s what she wished for… silly Akko.”
Marissa look at the party from afar as a spectator. She was sitting over there at the table once, however she is now a spectator who could only watch from afar.

“I guess it’s about time I should wak-”
Before Marissa could finish, something shook the facility, the doctors rushed outside to inspect the situation as the nurses tries to comfort the kids. Dr. Reinhold receives a phone call, and he picked up the call quickly. More listening than talking, Dr. Reinhold hung up and quickly walked over to Shinozaki.
“Listen Haru, we need to leave, right now.”
He told Shinozaki as he grabbed her hand and walks over to the door.
“Hey, where are you going?”
The younger Marissa asked.
“I’m sorry.”
Reinhold replied as he rushed out of the room with Shinozaki.

Moments later, a red biomass engulfs half of the room, killing and assimilating everyone who touched it.
Young Marissa and Akko were guided by the nurses to leave the area as the mass continues to expand.
Marissa quickly followed them to the hallway, where she realizes her younger self’s left leg is wounded, and infected.
Moments later, her leg mutates rapidly and connects to the mass back in the room as her upper body slowly being consumed into it.
Her younger self continues to resist and calls out to Dr. Reinhold and Shinozaki who could be seen running away, followed by Akko in the distance.
.

(BGM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l2WU3j9V_0)
Everything went black the next second. A flesh and fluid covered facility could be seen, judging from the blood on the leftover lab coats, a few weeks, months, or perhaps years has passed since the incident.
“If I died back then… then…What am I?”
Unable to get that thought out of her head, she takes her first toward the hallway covered with veins and flesh.
She walks pass an opened cold sleep capsule. However she think much of it.
“This is…”
The sources of the veins were all concentrated and centered at the room where the two doctors talked earlier. The door was blocked by thick mass, so are the glass and vent.
Ignoring all that, Marissa walked through the walls to see what’s behind the cause of this disaster.
“Eh?”
Akko was in there with a flashlight, walking toward what appears to be the source of this monstrosity. At the epicenter, a three of organs was supporting a giant heart of sort, serving as the main circulation system. Below that, there was the boy, who is now a part of the system, attached to the tree.
Akko approaches the boy calmly as she puts down her bag of survival equipment.
“How tragic, you wished to save everyone yet you’ve became the monster.”
Akko said the boy in coma within the tree, showing now reaction.
“Your wished to become a hero. The miraculum cells has granted that wish of yours didn’t it? By becoming an infinite supply of spare organ for those who needed an organ transplant. However, infinity supply doesn’t solve the rejection of transplanted organ by local immune system. So you went to collect samples.”
Akko approaches the boy, and embraced him.
“And in order to acquire those samples, you went on a rampage and killed everyone despite the fact you didn’t want to.”
Akko then takes out a pistol from her pocket.
“For all these years, you’ve suffered enough. It’s time for you to rest. I’ll take your wish and the miraculum cells with me”
Akko pulled the trigger and fired, killing the boy in coma. The moment the boy fell gets detaches and fell to the ground, the body returns to a pile of flesh and absorbed into the ground.
“Now… there’s still something I have to do…”
Akko muttered as her breath gets shorter. Blood vessel became visible through her skin as she resisted the mutation from the miraculum cells within her. She stood up and punches through the tree’s exterior, reaching into the interior. Moments later, she starts pulling, something about her size.
The exterior splits open as a blood red replica of an older Marissa could be seen being pulled out from the core of mutations.
“There there… I guess it worked.”
Akko smiled, looking upon the replica.

Unable to react to the vision, Marissa who was in third person perspective was speechless, standing from afar looking at her dying friend carrying herself, a replica out off the epicenter heading for the cold sleep room.

Carefully laying the replica down onto the bed before sealing the capsule.
“Promise to find me when you wake up.”
Akko said to the replica before sealing off the airlock of the room where she will be found by the Sphinx division in 4 years later.

The year was 2016.

“Marissa!”
Opening her eyes from Sakamoto calling her.
The ceiling was again flesh covered. Looking forward, glass tanks of sorts could be seen.
Turning over to the right, an open airlock could be seen. That’s right, that’s where they were hours ago, when Sphinx division found her.
“We’re back here?”
Marissa asked with a faint voice as she sits up leaning against a wall.
“Well, we somehow made it back here.”
Sakamoto answered with a bandage on his head.
“Where is everyone else?”
Marissa asks after looking around, only seeing Sakamoto and Blaney.
“They didn’t make it.”
Blaney answered, looking onto the ground, depressed.
Looking at the other end of the hallway, a corpse of a SSS operative was covered by an old lab coat.
“That’s Konan, he was knocked out off the stairs back there..”
Sakamoto said after noticing Marissa staring at it.
“We’ve tried looking for a way out, however the gate to the underground highway and the ruins has collapsed. We’re just sitting ducks, waiting for that monster to kill us.”
Blaney said, laying on the ground, giving up on all hopes.
“There’s a way.”
Marissa stood up, holding tight to Akko’s ID bracelet on her.
Despite how optimistic she is, there wasn’t a response from Blaney nor Sakamoto.
“I’ll talk to it.”
“Hey, catgirl, have you gone mad?”
Blaney asks, still lying on the ground like someone who’s drunk.
“No I have not.”
“How do you plan to talk to that thing!?”
Now even Sakamoto disagrees with her.
Marissa ignores the two operative’s advice and took Sakamoto’s rifle and a A² ammo belt, she quickly puts the belt on and rushed out of the room.
“Hey! Marissa!”
Sakamoto’s called could be heard from behind as she marches toward the mutation core room she saw in her dream. Using the flashlight attach onto the G36 rifle, she ran passes the lobby and towards the toward side of the facility where the old orphanage was located.
Pass the crayon drawing on walls.
Pass the dormitory where they stayed up till 3 in the morning without getting caught.
Pass the classrooms where they never paid any attention.
Pass the party room, where they had the party.
Pass the cold sleep capsule where Akko woke from.
And she’s finally here, the pulse on the flesh could be seen as the hallway gets more narrow due to the biomass around the hallway gets dense as she continues toward the heart.
Just like the situation in her dream.
“Wait for me.”
(BGM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7IxKLLJ2LM)
Marissa pulled the trigger, firing A² chemical poison rounds directly into the biomass. The mass falls away and dissolves the affected parts before the poison gets into the circulation system, making way for Marissa down the hallway.
“I’m coming over to meet you now!”

Firing at the overgrown blockade, the flesh that covered the door withers away and turns into ash. Taking a few steps backward, she then burst and crack the rusty door with her weapon.
On the other side of the door was beautiful yet gory red garden. With a giant tree supporting a heart-like massive organ at the center.
Stunned by the scenery, she took a long look at the otherworldly structure before her, just like the one in her dreams, it the tree continues to serve as a spare organ producer.
Remembering the location of the host below the tree, she starts to walk toward it. The moment she took a second, she felt something was pulling her down. Looking down on her leg, a red root was holding onto her leg, preventing her to move forward.
She fired at the root, freeing herself as more rises from the ground. The biomass of the room began to change, a blockade to the tree slowly forms as Marissa began to run toward it. As if the miraculum cells are sentient and are aware of the situation.
“Get. Out. Of. My. Way.”
She shouted as she kept firing at the blockade to slow down its growth. However it was not fast enough, the poisoned parts of the flesh are ejected quicker than she could fire those rounds into it. It was then she noticed Akko body was still attached to it. She helplessly watches the pathway to the tree getting thinner and thinner as the blockade grows, cutting the room into two. So close yet so far.
“We’ll take it from here.”
A familiar voice shouted from behind followed by gunshots.
Sakamoto and Blaney followed her down the hallway, and made it to the room she where she was as she began concentrating their firepower to the small opening in the blockade, keeping it open.
“Go.”
Blaney said coldly, reloading his rifle.
Taking up the offer, Marissa nodded and ran toward the small opening as it closes. Barely making it to the otherside.

“We finally meet.”
Marissa said as she approached Akko who still attached to the tree of organs.
Dropping her rifle, placing her hand on Akko’s cheek, it was warm.
“I’m glad.”
Warm tears overflow her eyes as she embraces Akko. The ground began to shake as the giant heart above becomes unstable, grown spare organs are thrown to the ground. The biomass surround them goes berserk as the two have their moment.
“After all this.. I won’t let go of you again.”
Marissa whispered as her blood vessels began to become visible on her hands, slowly showing signs of miraculum cell mutation within her.
.
.
.
“I definitely can’t let happen…”
Akko whispered back to Marissa as she slowly opens her eyes, lifting her face up to Marissa. Crying harder than ever, Marissa insists on staying with her, embracing her even harder to accelerate the mutation.
“Now.. now.. Don’t be a crybaby…”
Akko reaches out to Marissa, comforting her.
“A world 20 years later, everyone we knew aren’t here anymore… Please… let stay with you, let us continue that dream earlier.”
Marissa cried, still pushing the two deeper into the tree.
“Marissa… didn’t we promised to see the surface?”
“Huh..?”
“Marissa… the miraculum cells are just like a child, they’ll feel lonely if I leave.”
“Even so! We can still be here tog-”
“Marissa… I’m glad that you’ve made some friends in this new world you’ve found yourself in.”
Akko reminded her, pointing at the direction of the sound of gunshots.
“I’m sure this world is just as wonderful as the one we’ve been in, Marissa. But this time, you’re free to feel it on the surface.”
“But Akko, we promised to see the surface together, didn’t we?”
“Yes we did.”
Akko replied with a gentle smile, moments later the giant heart stopped beating as the flesh and organs around them slowly turns green. The blockade falls apart as it turns from bright red flesh to some sort of green fiber.
“Marissa!”
Sakamoto shouted as he began to rush toward her.
“Did you know? The word miracle originates from miraculum?”
Akko asked as she gently removes Marissa’s hand from her shoulder.
“Don’t make your new friends worry, and good luck in this new world. I’m sure you’ll find happiness.”
Akko finally pushes Marissa away from her, as she herself shed tears in this farewell.
“Thank you for finding me, Marissa. And Goodbye.”
Akko whispered, slowly goes back to coma again despite the fact Marissa kept calling her name.
“Marissa! Snap out of it. She has made her choice.”
Sakamoto shouted as he carries her away from the collapsing room.

“Now, let’s prepare the surface for my dear friend will you? You spoiled child.”
Akko whispered to the mirculum cells within the epicenter.
The next moment, a bright light engulfs the entire facility.



Hinomoto, Serp-UKMC frontline
The Aragami sentries continues to merciless slaughter the retreating Teardrop plague infected Serpentuem invaders.
“Those mechanical monsters have broken through the second line of defense!”
One of the serpentuem soldiers shouted as he takes cover in the trenches from a particle beam fired from a Sentinel-Class Aragmi sentry.
“This invasion is hopeless, why won’t the headquarters understand!?”
Another shouted.
“This invasion is hopeless because our enemy has threw away their humanity. In order to contain the spread of the plague, this is how far would the United Kingdom go-”
Before the segrant could finish, an earthquake stroke the battlefield as the ground became to collapse into the earth, to the caves supported by ancient fossilized trees below.
“What the…”
An alien looking spiral structure rose from the ground, destroying the United Kingdom’s Aragami forces. The structure grew taller and larger as the dessert and ruins around began to be covered in green plants of unknown origin. The wasteland of Hinomoto was infected with green plants in minutes. The spiral structure stopped growing at a height of about 2.6 kilometers. A giant sphere could be seen at the very top as it bloom into a structure resembling a tree. Before the soldiers realizes it, pollen from the structure rains down onto the green battlefield.
The pain, blood tear symptoms of the teardrop plague had just vanished within all of Hinomoto.
“This is truly a miracle…”
The serpentuem sergeant said, taking off his helmet to take a good look at the beautiful green scenery.


Epilogue
The Serpentuem government and the United Kingdom signed a truce they next few days, focusing on reconstruction on both nations. Ending the one year war.
Edokyuuria is currently being rebuilt around the remains of Senate Terminal under the guidance of the recovering Chancellor Mashiro Fuyuki. The former head of state, and war hero Shinozaki Haru is revealed to the media to be alive and well. Despite being offered to be the next Minister of defense, she refused. Stating she will be working as an investigator within Hexagon in the near future. (CVN)DDR-421, Admiral Inaban and first officer Akima’s second ship is currently under construction. To honor their former vessel the Taihou, or Great Phoenix, their new vessel is named Hakuhou, White Phoenix, as a reference to the upcoming Mashiro(white) era.
Graf Hawk resigned from the special forces to take care of Tatiana as his adoptive daughter, who suffered from complete loss of emotion and memory.

“So I suppose that’s it?”
Shinozaki asks the Kaiser they share a table at the balcony at the imperial palace in Kanatoro.
“1997, Mendelson and the PGRI began their experimentation on the Miraculum cell they found what later turns out to be a Vril tomb. Project-044 started to test animal immunity to it, ending up finding stronger resistance in certain feline. Those children, 44-Akko, 44-Marissa, 44-Luka, etc were the prototypes. An incident occured in 04/01/1999, I suppose you were there at that time with Dr. Reinhold yes?”
The Kaiser asks Shinozaki like an old friend.
“Yes, everyone except me and Reinhold were supposed to be dead. Except Mendelson survived. And caused the coup, and civil war later in early 2019.”
Shinozaki replied as she puts a few cubes of sugar into the tea.
“How does it feel to be the last PGRI wmd alive, Shinozaki?”
“Last? Tatiana and Marissa are still around here somewhere.”
Shinozaki replied, calling something from the inside to come out.
“Now that’s an unexpected guest.”
“Greetings, your highness.”
Marissa dressed in suits walked over to join the conversation holding onto a report on the miraculum cell.
“Tatiana was created sometime in 2012 to be the complete the miraculum cell soldier. I guess Doctor Mendelson did weaponize the cells in the end.”
Marissa added to the conversation as she takes a seat.
“In the end, it’s this miraculum cell thing that drove the United Kingdom into chaos for the past 25 years or so? What are the chances the tomb raiding angered those Vrils to come back?”
Shinozaki asks sarcastically as she took a biscuit from the plate.
“Speaking of the devil, Marissa. You better hide those cat ears on you when we get to New Edokyuuria-III. The weebs there will think you’re a cosplayer…. Also don’t show them to Mashiro.”
Shinozaki said to her new partner in the intelligence department as they take their leave.
“Well, come visit again.”
The Kaiser gently said as she turns over to the green scenery, to the massive spiral tree over on the horizon under the bright blue sky.

The End.

Amatsumikaboshi, Pupatory, United Kingdom(BGM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAZKjQZFLOg)
The sun was up, the sky was clear, the blowing wind from the sea blows directly through the silky curtains.
Hearing the sound of the calm waves, as if time itself has slowed down.
“Kana, Wake up~ Wake up!”
The short light gold dyed haired girl rolling onto the side facing the wall, burying her face deeper into the pillows. Ichihara Kana attempts to ignore both the sound of the alarm and Mashiro’s voice.
“Ugh- what's with you today.... just one more hour, Mashiro~”
“We’ll be late for class, Kana. Mr Konishi will be mad at us again!”
Getting annoyed by her roommate’s voice, she threw her pillow at Mashiro, tackle, and pushed her down on the floor in her blanket Causing a mess in the room as plushies fell from the shelves.
“How dare you disturb my beauty slumber!~”
She smirks and said to Mashiro, who was now trapped under the blanket with Kana on top. Except it didn’t happen.
None of this did.
What Kana pushed down was nothing but card boxes, no plushies fell, because they simply weren’t there. So is her friend.
Awaken from her daydream, facing the cold cracked ground of a plant covered ruined apartment complex, Kana sits up slowly.
The alarm clock was still beeping.
[jr]
Slowly reaching for the alarm and turns it off.
Looking out the shattered window, A strange feeling of nostalgia hits.
The same town, the same view.
Beyond the sea of green ruined buildings, construction of the bright white New Amatsuikaboshi city could be seen in the distance as massive cranes are being installed.
Picking up the pillow and stood up in her pajamas.
Looking around the room, nothing much from the past was left, only this cracked picture frame.
A picture of an older, easier time.
A picture of Kana, Mashiro and three more of her friends smiling on stage in front of the local coastal monument.
The sky in the picture was as clear as it is today.
‘Celestial5 idol group Amatsumikaboshi concert 6/4/2008’
Although some may say it was a period of illusion and blind happiness.
To her, whether it was blind or not, it didn’t matter. What matters is that it happened.

After taking a shower from the waterfall that formed when this building collided with the next, connected to the mountain.
The songs of birds and the calming sound of leaves could be heard along with the waterfall.
Putting on a straw hat, all shorts, she returned to her room.
She quickly packed her belongings, including the picture frame, and began to slowly climb down the ruins by sliding down the vines.
“Safe~”
She said once she touches the ground.
The half collapsed ruins and the plants made a rather interesting shading on the campus. While the campusis indeed covered by the shadows, tiny streams of light were able to leak through. A perfect balance between light and dark.
Turning on her radio, she dances as she walks through the campus.
Passing through the library, boys dormitory, the labs, the office, and finally the rusty gates.

She stopped in front of the gate, closed her eyes.
A lively town and campus could be heard and felt.
Students of that era lining up at the bakery across to get breakfast. The old lady who always talks with the patrolling police in the morning, the security guard who slacks off.
And finally, herself, she racing with her friends to the campus entrance despite that fact they’re university students.
And the same police would always tell them to stop with such childish acts.
“It’s nice to be young”
The old lady would always say.
“As if I would let you get a 3 streak in a row, Kana!”
“Sigh, why are we doing this every morning…. I wanna sl-”
“Mashiro surely has it easy, having Kana waking you up every morning.”
While the four were chattering, Kana reaches the gates again. Laughing with pride.
Daydreams are nice.
It allows you to dive into your memories to experience lost things once more.
Opening her eyes, Kana turns and looks at the now ruined campus taken back by mother nature.
“I think it looks better this way”
She said, as she bows at the campus before leaving.
Walking along the beach to avoid road blockades.
“The sand is surely hot.”
She said, quickly walks closer to the sea.
The clear and clear waves calmly washes her legs as the bright sun continues to shine onto the beach without any blockades of the clouds.
No ships, cars, nor people for miles, it was just her.
Taking out a camera, it was an old model. The camera had mascot stickers.
Standing on the beach, she took a picture of the green city ruins, beach, and finally the shipless vast ocean with the destroyed Rias space elevator in the distance.

Walking a little further, taking out her picture frame. Confirming the location.
It was the stage they performed on 12 years ago.
Due to the main structure was originally carved out of stone, it is well preserved.
However the stage is covered in collapsed metallic structures.
The seats are now covered in sand.
She carefully climbed onto the stage, avoiding sharp objects.
Standing at the center, the center of the stage, the center of the world.
“This surely brings back memories, right? Laruna? Charlotte? Chifuya? Mashiro?”
They four nodded in agreement behind her.
Smiling from their responses, she took out her the camera once more, and took pictures of the area.
And finally the group.
“These pictures will certainly make an attractive article.”
She said to herself happily, and continues her journey through the post apocalyptic nation, towards south, alone.[/quote]


5km from miraculum cell spiral tree, ground zero, Hinomoto, United Kingdom
The great Hinomoto wasteland is now covered in unknown harmless plantations caused by the outbreak of the miraculum cell and the incident back in the abandoned underground orphanage.
At the heart of it, there stood a 2.6-kilometer tree-like structure that reshaped the United Kingdom’s skyline in a single afternoon. Its pollen also cured the teardrop plague for Serpentuem, also ending the war on both sides. The massive tree is currently guarded by one of the few remaining Arsenal Rays. Ground zero is currently an extremely guarded area, however, it is not close to civilian visit, this is because of the teardrop plague treatment center Serpentuem set up there.
The United Kingdom never had time to nor the resources to prevent former residents from returning to the area to rebuild their homes. The people who returned to their home quickly adapted to the new scenery, massive craters, collapsed highways, plant-covered ruins, the spiral tree, and more. Despite knowing the United Kingdom would never be the same again after having casualties of 21 million and still counting, due to the large scale destruction of security cameras, law enforcement has greatly weakened. For the past months, the public security and the military police has launched a countless crackdown on self-governing criminal territories.

In this certain vast grassy plain under a cloudless sky, an old black diesel convertible car stopped by the side of the road, just next to the melted lamp post.
“So that’s where Jezabelstien’s laser was hit huh?”
Shinozaki scrolling the news on her phone as she lean on the seat, facing the sun under the protection on a pair of sunglasses.
Meanwhile Marissa went over to the bush to take a sample of the plantation that thrived on the glass like crater caused by Irene’s light.
Injecting the sample into a small handle testing device with both the SSS and Yotsubashi logo on the back. Waiting for the testing result, Marissa looked around for any incomign cars, then took off her hood, letting her feline ears out.
“As expected these plants are also caused by the miraculum cells.”
Marissa reported back to Shinozaki as she packs up the medical equipment.
“Do you really think Akko is still somewhere in there?”
Shinozaki asks Marissa as she turns to look at the branches spiral tree a kilometer above.
“If what that madman Mendelson said was right, the miraculum cells twists one’s wish into physical form. Just like what happened to the orphanage, and ever-improving organ production system, harvesting to learn, to improve, to save. However, it killed more than it saved.”
Marissa casually explained as she lay on the soft ground covered by grass as she looked up at the coloussal tree in front of her.
“The miraculum cells… perhaps it wanted a purpose. That’s why they take in desires and materialize them. That’s why I believe they are.”
Marissa said, closing her eyes and taking a nap under the warmth of the sun.
“Semi-sentinel single-cell organism theory huh. Not bad, but I wonder if those old people in the medical society could take it, especially when it’s a report written by someone who just recently joined.”
“You’re probably right Shinozaki, I doubt they would take it seriously hahaha.”
.
.
.
The two enjoyed the scenery and the close feeling of nature by the breezing wind.
“Well, I guess it’s time we should go.”
Marissa suggested as she gets up and puts on her hood.
“You sure? I’m not sure if you could see the tree as clearly as here in Edokyuuria, shouldn't you spend a bit more time?”
Shinozaki asks as she fixes the driver seat.
“I’m good, I’m sure I would be able to see it from the Senate Terminal arcology.”
“...”
Marissa walked over to one of the smaller giant roots of the colossus tree, hugging it.
“I’ll come to visit again, Akko.”
.
.
.
“We have no choice but to go through the northern ruins, the highway is pretty much collapsed.”
Shinozaki explained as she started the engine. Marissa puts the suitcase in the backseat as she helps to set the GPS guide.
“Ugh forget it, we’ll use the physical map instead.”
Shinozaki muttered in slight frustration since most of the listed routes are unavailable.
“Good thing your sister still kept a diesel car, otherwise we won’t be able to come all the way out here without recharging.”
Marissa commented as she took out the map from Shinozaki’s bag.
“Inaban isn’t a big fan of electric cars after all.”
Shinozaki replied as she stepped on the gas.

New Maidpara cafe, Senate Terminal Arcology, Edokyuuria crater
The military police intelligence branch that had been covered up as a maid cafe, Maidpara was unusually crowded today. The cafe was moved to the mall district of the Arcology, the original shop was destroyed along with the entirety of the great Edokyuuria urban district, which is now known as the Edokyuuria crater.
“And so? You came here to ask for love advice. What are you, a high schooler?”
Sutsushi replied, with disappointment. She is one of the military police officers stationed here, and also a former guard of the old Shinozaki administration. Along with communist force defector Albert Lionheart, she and Shinozaki fought their way to escape the former senate terminal during the civil war period.
Their friendship with Akima and Inaban was built after that.
“You do know that you're the only one I could ask.”
Akima replied, frustrated by her insult.
“Have you taken her out on a date?”
“Sieg is in ruins...”
“Perfect. I’m sure you can see the entire galaxy at night, there’s not much light pollution now isn’t it? Why not use that to your advantage?”

Naval Academy and HQ, Sieg-II
Meanwhile on the deck of the constructing DDR-N241, nuclear destroyer Hakuhou.
“Admiral, why am I here? And why are you asking me for love advice?”
Albert Lionheart asked after hearing the request from Inaban. He does not want to get involved in this matter at all.

Chancellor's office, Senate Terminal Arcology, Edokyuuria crater
Cleaning up the documents, piling them, putting them on the table was an unusual act of our lazy hikikomori Chancellor Fuyuki Mashiro.
“It’s finally done.”
She muttered as she took a long look around her organized office for the first time.
“I guess it’s a new start from here.”
She muttered as she carefully sneaked out of the office, putting on a pair of glasses, letting her hair loose, she casually took the elevator to the parking lot.
“Now I can’t be late for Tatiana’s hospital discharge can I?”

Vice GE Victoria knocked on the door, no response. Mashiro must’ve fallen asleep again, that’s what she thought.
She forcefully opened the door, slamming it as she called Mashiro. The room was extremely organized to a point she couldn’t believe it. She had to close the door and open them again to make sure it wasn’t an illusion.

Northern Edokyuuria Ruins, Old Miotus, United Kingdom
“Take a good look, Marissa. This place used to be part of the great Edokyuuria urban district. You’ve probably seen the old skyline from the pictures back in the orphanage 20 years ago… well if you remember-”
Shinozaki explained as she carefully drives through the plant-covered ruins. The district has completely returned to nature, forests were grown from the ruined apartments as water walls could be seen coming off from the former offices and malls.
“It’s hard to imagine this was once a metropolis.”
She replied, looking at the plant-covered concrete structures that seemed like it would reach the sky.
“Are these also caused by the miraculum cells?”
Marissa asked as she looked at the abandoned restaurants and shops covered in vines.
“Oh no, these places were here like this, way before the outbreak.”
“I see.”

“The bushes are getting really dense here…”
Shinozaki muttered as she slowed down the car even more. Marissa continues to observe the abandoned street view of the northern urban district. The two were unaware of something, falling above them.
“UNYAAAAA”
A girl fell into the back seat of their car. The two were startled, and Shinozaki immediately stepped on the break.
“That hurts…”
The girl said as she held onto the doors as support to get up.
“Shinozaki, did she just… fell... from..”
“She sure did. Marissa.”
The girl quickly swipes the dust off her pants and fixes her bag, judging from her camera showing in her bag, and the notebook in her hands. She seems to be a journalist of some sort.
“I did make it! Yay!”
She seems very proud of her jump.
“Excuse me… but who are you?”
Shinozaki asks, extremely confused by this girl’s behavior.
“Me? I’m traveling journalist Ichihara Kana~! A former idol of the Celestial Five~!”



Midquel 3
Block N4L2 Lobby, Senate Terminal Arcology, Edokyuuria crater
Mikel Blaney was certainly relieved the moment he saw the door of the crowded elevator opened. Office workers of sorts in suits quickly rushed out to head back after their lunch break.
Verteran Lieutenant Mikel Blaney of Serpenteum’s special force that survived the abandoned orphanage compound. He left the military, traumatized and decided to move to Edokyuuria following a suggestion by a frenemy he met during the operation, Sakamoto Ryoma, who seems to be on a mission to protect a strange girl, Marissa.
After the flesh and gore mass covered the compound were turned into plantation, creating the Spiral Tree Speranta Anomaly. The expansion and the restructuring of the miraculum cells formed a tunnel, allowing them to the surface. It was most likely Akko’s doing, that’s what Marissa insisted on. The moment they arrive at the surface, the war has stopped as the plantation continues to infest the wasteland destroying most of the United Kingdom’s Aragami security drones on the field. At the same time a compound of unknown within the pollen of the tree cured the Teardrop plague. It was that moment when both sides ceases fire. The tree could be seen anywhere in the United Kingdom after all.
“If you ever quit, come over to Edokyuuria, I’m sure I can get something to work with.”
That was what Sakamoto said, as he went on the chopper.

Stepping out of the newly installed elevator of the Edokyuuria Arcology, holograms could be seen everywhere simulating sceneries of pre-war Edokyuuria. In other words, a metropolis that reaches even beyond the horizon. Blaney has never been to Edokyuuria, he has only seen the city from television and other United Kingdom entertainment programs such as anime.
Despite the hologram covered hallway, different shops and government departments have hologram advertisements on their own. Making the scenery rather complicated, busy and somewhat annoying.
He walks over to the information center, asking direction for the immigration office within the ministry of foregin affair block.

Getting off the train, arriving to foregin affair block. Instead of holograms, the wall of the seven stories tall lobby was made of some sort of reinforced glass. There was even a door to the outer ringed balcony outside, where restaurants and cafes reside.
Blaney checks his ticket, there was still some time until when he is required to show up in the front office. He steps outside as everything turns to white due to the strong sun’s reflection onto the crater sea that last interrestial war has created. A single surviving Arcology above a small landmass at the center of world’s largest crater, and lake. Half submerged ruins of the former urban district could be seen near the shore of the Arcology. Four massive bridges stretch out to the shadows barely visible on the horizon. The wind was rather strong today, the flags of MoonBucks and WcDonalds could be seen blown straight toward the north.
He took out his binocular from his bag, a parting gift from the military. He then looks towards the shadows on the horizon with it. It was just a bunch of half submerged ruins. No land, the crater was clearly bigger than he expected.
Just how many people died here?
He thought. Remembering the holographic pre-war images of the capitol. Edokyuuria was destroyed by a Valrassari WMD about 9 months ago. The sole surviving structure was the mainframe of the Senate Terminal, now remodeled to an Arcology, due to the decreased population.
How many people made it out alive? The idea of tens of millions being incinerated within seconds has gotten his hand to shake in fear.
He decided this was enough, as he put away his binocular, a young woman crashed into him, pushing him to the ground, dropping the serpenteum military grade binocular to the ground, cracking one of the lens. At the same time, she dropped her glasses.
“I’m so sorry!”
She immediately apologized as she got up from him. Blaney slowly sits up, trying to absorb what just happened. A woman probably in her 30s picked up his binocular, including the shattered pieces. She brushes her brown long hair aside as she looks for her glasses. She was wearing a somewhat XXL size coat that was clearly not her size… she is giving off this clumsy type of person feeling.
“Oh- um- It’s fine.”
Blaney replied as he stood up with the support of the handrail on the side. She picks up her glasses from the ground and quickly puts it back on as if it was some sort of disguise.
“Ehhh…. Ehhh.. umm… well…… Right…”
Looking at the unique binocular model, it had an insignia of a snake engraved.
She thought for a moment and answered nervously.
“Here’s my contact. I’m sorry, but I’m currently in a hurry…… I’ll pay for the repairs.”
“Huh.. well… It’s fine-”
Before Blaney could reject her offer, the young woman just pushed her business card into his hand.
“I’m soooo sorry!”
Her apology could be heard as she ran off into the distance, toward the parking eastern parking block.
“....well.”
He muttered as he turned to the card in his hand. It was something that looked like a supermarket discount point card. She must’ve mixed it up.
“Seriously... “
Blaney sighed and put the point card into his wallet.
He waited outside until it was about time to enter the warrant office. Checking his phone as he sat at the waiting area, trying ignore the discriminating stares from the Miotian elderly next to him. And some gossip from the Candorian girls behind him.
That’s right, despite both governments being willing to work together again, the scars of war obviously haven't been healed on either side.
Blaney felt their stare could and gossiping could crush him any moment, hoping for his queue number to be called soon.
“No. 235 Please come to front desk 04”
Blaney was relieved when he heard the announcement. He quickly picks up his bag and left for the counter.
Waiting for the office worker to finish copying his documents, Blaney looks up to the glass ceiling after a commercial airship passes by.
“An airship? That’s rare.”
The airship seems to be some sort of government advertisement. It had a simple display hanging below the hull. Posters of different politicians could be seen.
“Come to think of it, it’s almost time for the Miotia-Candor’s election.”
Blaney mumurred. As the blimp changes its angle, a certain candidate caught his attention. This young candidate was running for her second term. However, something about her looks seems to be familiar to someone he...
“Wait a minute.”

Yotsubishi Tanabe Pharma Akademe Hospital,Akademe-Stadt-II, Edokyuuria Crater
When she was getting off her car, her long brownish black hair was stuck, and curled up on her seat.
“Ack- That hurts.”
Mashiro mumurred after her first attempt to get off her car resulted in pulling her hair. Quickly untying them from the seat.
When was the last time she let her hair loose like this? She questions herself as she closes and locks the door. She then turned her attention at the small burnt and deformed mascot figurine hanging from the rear-view mirror. On the back of the mascot “6/4/2008 Celestial-5 Concert” was printed onto it.
“...”
After a long sad look at the mascot, she turns and walks toward the hospital entrance.

Following the nurse’s guidance, Mashiro arrives at room 014 at the local Yotsubishi Tanabe Pharma Hospital. Opening the door, the full special Tod division was already there. Graf, Hijikata, and Okita were already there talking and laughing as they played a sort of card game. Tatiana was on the patient bed staring out at the Edokyuuria crater lake like a doll.
“Who’s there!?”
Hijikasta asks immediately, turning toward the door as he drops his NoU cards. They obviously couldn't recognize her with her disguise.
Mashiro takes off her glasses after she closes the door with a big smile and said:
“It’s me Mar*o!”
“Give the 4th wall a goddamn break!” x3

“So you sneaked out… of your office again…?”
Okita asks as he shuffles the deck of cards for a new game.
“How rude! I came out here to ‘visit war veterans’ and gain supporters for the upcoming elections!”
Mashiro replied sarcastically before breaking into a giggle.
“Right. Right. You’ve got your priorities right.”
Graf agreed with an unconvinced tone.
“So how is she doing?”
She changes the topic and turns over to Tatiana, who is still staring out at the lake.
Silence quickly filled the room as no one wanted to answer.
“When she activated the stone, something caused the miraculum emulated neurons in her amygdala to change. Even good old war criminal Pure Gene Research Institution’s bioengineering copyright code has been messed up. If she did develop any emotion before the incident just like you people claimed, she must’ve lost it during it. ”
A voice could be heard from behind. The group quickly turned over to the door, realizing the doctor just entered.
“You are?”
Mashiro quickly puts on her glasses and asks.
“I’m Alfred Heller, the doctor in charge of her treatment.”
The man in his 40s claimed as he leaned on the door.
“A Heller… you’re the army minister-”
Hijikata muttered, he was quickly cut off.
“Nick? Yeah, he’s my brother.”
He explained with a smile.
Unlike the rest of the operatives, Mashiro felt uneasy. The combined ministry of defense led by Inaban Fuyu was short lived, independent military branches returned to their original command structure right before the start of the Serpenteum war back in May 2019.
Despite the navy under admiral Inaban continuing to support the democratic side, the army that has been getting their budget cut still mainly consist of the pre-civil war regime’s personnels. Not to mention how mysterious the airforce acts with their increased budget approved due to the ever growing threat down south. The only thing that prevented another coup after the both the Valrassari and Serpenteum war was the new ATHENA law enforcement system.
If anything, the army will want to get their hands on the miraculum cells research data to overthrow the evergrowthing military police due to the mass production of Aragami units under ATHENA.
This person, Alfred Heller is related to General Nick Heller. Has he gotten the data he wants from Tatiana? No.. this hospital has installed a stress scan…. Eh? What if Yotsubishi Corporation works with the army? Won’t that disable the stress scan within this building-
*beep*
“Eh?”
An alert came directly from Mashiro’s phone, cutting off her thought.
Even if it was just her imagination, the doctor seems to have slightly grin.
It was noticed from the ATHENA system, warning of her own stress level rosen by 4.34.
“Miss Mashiro?”
Hijikata asked after seeing Mashiro’s pale face for the first time.
“Yeah? Yeah.. sorry. It's something about work... “
Mashiro vaguely explained before packing up her belongings. She then walks over to Tatiana.
Tatiana turns over looking at her with the soulless eyes that resembles ones of a dead fish.
Holding her cold hands, Mashiro smiled as the sun shines into the room.
“How are you feeling?”
“...Who?”
She really doesn’t remember.
“Well, I’m Mashiro Fuyuki, nice to meet you, again.”
“Mahiro…”

“You’re going back already?”
Graf asks in slight disappointment, however he seems to understand. Mashiro walks to the door, passing by the doctor.
“Try to stay mentally healthy.. Young chancellor.”
The doctor creepily whispered as Mashiro passed by.
“You too... “
Mashiro replied without looking back at him.

Haruhabara-II, Edokyuuria crater
The capital of the United Kingdom’s anime and manga industry, Haruhabara has been rebuilt on a section of the reclaimed land just outside of the Arcology.
In the sea of electric cars, the was one that still runs on diesel.
“I don’t even know where we are going to find a gas station here if we run out of gas..”
Shinozaki complained as she drove. Marissa now with her hood on, covering her feline features is now looking at the new complex central district’s map.
“Shinyazaki. When you said Edokyuuria is a multilayer city hellscape, I didn’t expect this.”
Marissa complained, trying her hardest to assist Shinozaki in the rebuilt capital.
The unexpected guest, Ichihara Kana, a strange self proclaimed journalist started taking pictures of the scenery. Her face was full of curiosity like a child.
“Celestial five… isn’t that a famous university idol group that disbanded like 12 years ago after that certain terroris”
Shinozaki asks the childish but she was immediately cut off before she could finish.
“That’s not true! We’ve been traveling the nation performing lately!”
“Oh… is that so?”
Shinozaki replied, she isn’t much of an idol fan, its natural if she doesn’t know.
“Anyway where should we drop you off? We’re going to Haruhabara military police headquarters.”
Shinozaki asked as she made a turn to the indoor electronic street.
“Ummm, can you get me to Arcology entrance block N8L1?”
“No problem.”

URN Hakuhou N241, Naval Academy and Headquarters, Sieg-II
“She’s big.”
Inaban with a safety helmet commented on the Heavy aviation destroyer Hakuhou under construction.
“She surely is.”
One of her former students and New chief engineer Helena May next to her replied. They watch the second experimental nuclear reactor slowly being installed in the shipyard while other engineers are connecting the electric platings. A section of the CFRP hull is submerged in water to test the newly developed “Mask” device. One that generates bubbles to distract torpedo sensors as a last result.
As the two continue to admire the massive vessel, Inaban receives a phone call from the Naval Academy.
“Yeah?”
...
“What do you mean there’s a visitor from Feng standing in the front gate?”
Inaban left the shipyard and heads back to the academy to meet this unusual visitor.

Experimental Academy City of Minervaindexca

An experimental self-governing entity on the international stage. Whether Minervaindexca is a nation, colony, or a privately owned landmass is still undefined. No defined classification can be applied to Minervaindexca.

The Experimental Nation of Minervaindexca is established during the later half of the Serpentuem-United Kingdom war by the cooperation of New Republic of Frontera, Rikura, Primordial Tiamat, and Yotsubishi heavy industry. The entity is founded in the northern region of former Kyaon.

The self-governing entity is a collection of branches of the top academies of the former Rias Union and the United Kingdom. The governing body is separated by an occupation and age caste system. The initial plan was aimed to transfer the remaining academic and technological resources out of the United Kingdom. Yotsubishi Corp and executed the project to preventing these resources from falling into the Free Trade Federation, and the World Union, and mostly, Kjanu.

There are a total of 15 Academy districts, and 3 'Utilities Districts'. All 18 districts are governed by two main entities. The Academic Councils and the Overseers.

Despite not being officially a territory of it, Minervaindexca is the Acting Imperial Captial of the United Kingdom States. An attack on Minervaindexca will be an attack on campus, school, the United Kingdom States, and the World Union.

Minervaindexca uses a unique operating system called the "kivotOS", which is known for its beautiful blue and white UI design.

Etymology

Named after the goddess Minerva.

History & Lore
Sometime in early 2019, SSS 2nd Branch and the Yotsubishi Heavy Industry were tasked with the construction of a certain underground water fortress in New Republic of Frontera. From the delayed construction and the use of second-hand unites, the Yotsubishi Corporation was paid with a large amount of money from the certain right-winged Fronteran party. With the goal of expanding SSS influence in the region.

Hacking through the records and files of the Candorian Intelligence Agency, from Etsuyoki incident theory to several anomalous events caused by the south.
The threat of Kjanu, Commonwealth, and its clueless World Union allies becomes clearer than ever.
Additionally, with North Electrica's ARC industries advancements it really did put Yotsubishi Corporation on thin ice.
It is suspected by the SSS 1st branch, Kjanu will take the lead of the United Kingdom right after the failures of protecting Hinomoto Prefecture from Serpentuem forces.

A joint project with the remnants of Kyaon, in a false promise of rebuilding their country was started. Establishing the secret Kyaon branch of both the SSS and Yotsubishi Corporation. The revivalist Kyaonese were exiled out of the 18 districts after Minervaindexca's construction. While they are still given free healthcare, they are not allowed to own residence within the 18 districts.
Kyaonese who moved on joined Minervaindexa in the 3 utility districts.

Through a loophole within the nationalistic economic policies, the Yotsubishi Corporation was able to avoid being taxed by Edokyuuria when they do their business overseas. With the UKMC still without electricity and lack of communication, on December 21, 2019, Yotsubishi Corporation and [REDACTED] forces fired a missile at the plane which carried Corporation's overseers from the government. The plane crashed off the coast of Pivolin. Edokyuuria only learns of the incident months after the war, suspecting it to be either a missile strike from Jezabelstein or a disguised Fengese FTF warship.
In between the time without Edokyuuria's surveillance, Yotsubishi transported a large number of students, researchers, and professor refugees to Minervaindexca.
An entity that secretly dedicates all technological advancement to both the Yotsubishi Corporation and the SSS foundation.

However, that is about to change...

As of 2023, the Academy city has implemented the Eden Curriculum and has started the Inter-Academy Wars.

Geography
Geography is not much different from the United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor, the experimental nation is built on top of the ruins of a former nation known as Kyaon.
Wilderness and ruins lay untouched outside the 18 districts.

Demographics
The current population is estimated to be 42 million, with 80% of them are students. Every student is given a Student Handbook. The small handbook contains information about Minervaindexca and is often used s a guidebook. When the handbook is closed, it is capable of blocking a bullet, surviving an explosion, stress under extreme pressure, and will be fine without a scratch. While the handbook has never been tested whether or not it'll survive a nuclear explosion, the Discipline Committees is confident that the handbook will be fine, because it is the immovable iron will of the Student Council.
Student's ability to apply to a dorm or rent a certain estate is based upon their academic score.
Those who aced their exams live in luxury while the 'failures' are looked down upon. Though they still live in an average apartment.
Homelessness is non-existence thanks to Yotsubishi's concern for their own reputation.

Workers who were part of the initial stage of the project were also given permanent residentship, that including Kyaonese.
Graduates are offered permanent residentship. Their partner can also get such a privilege.
As of 2020 April, there has only been one generation of former students who acquired permanent residentship.

Government
Overseers
The governing body is separated into the Overseers and the Academic Councils.
Overseers is a relatively small council that is made up of 21 members. Consisted of directors of all 18 districts, with the last 3 being Yotsubishi representatives. The Overseers is capable of veto any proposal from the Academic councils with only 5 votes.

Academic Councils
The Academic Councils if the executive branches of Minervaindexca, which have been labeled as ridiculous by Edokyuuria. From 2nd year high school and on, any student is capable of being in office.
There are 19 Academic Councils, 15 for the Student committees of 15 different school districts. The 15 Student committees manage, but not govern their own school districts, in charge of mainly economy and security of their local district. 90% and above in all subjects is the requirement to be within the Student committees.
Lastly, the Student Council Sanctum, the top executive branch of the Minervaindexca. This is the entity that makes laws and decisions of Minervaindexca. The SCS is consists of 10 elected members of the 15 academic districts. Only those with 95% and above in all subjects are allowed to run. This has created a caste system of occupation, age, and academic ability.

Students of the Student Committee and positions above are presented with job offers within either the Yotsubishi Corporation or the Foundation when they graduate.

Discipline Committee & Minerva System
Minervaindexca's main security force. They are recruited by student committees of the 15 districts. While this is entirely voluntary, they do get recommendation letters and other food discount privileges within their local district.
Minerva System is inspired by the United Kingdom's well known Athena crime prevention system. Unlike the Athena system, Minerva is merely a drone deployment program. All 18 districts are equipped with them, they are all operated by the local staff security council. In the 15 Academic districts, only a single staff oversees the operation of a full student operator team.
The drones in mainly use are the old TC-7. Also known as the trashcan bots. They lack offensive capabilities, however, they're capable of withstanding an anti-tank rifle with only a scratch. TC-8 is currently being produced as an upgraded version, which goes as fast as 100km/h.
Due to their nature being massive recycling bins, it is possible to transport discipline committee enforcers.
Similar to Athena System, fatal weapons are safely locked. Instead of it unlocking itself once the target is detected, this is done manually. Only remote control from operators can unlock them.

All adult content is illegal, to possess any of them is equal to terrorism. In order to protect the morale, and rid of such non-educational unwanted products, the special task force will be deployed as countermeasures. For students, punishment can go up to 2 months in supplementary camps. For non-students, the highest punishment for smuggling adult content is execution. However, no one has ever been executed.
Economy
Treasurers of local districts manage the finance of "Clubs". Clubs are a union of a single type of business run by both students and adults in a local district. Some academic district uses socialism, some use capitalism, and some uses Occupation Socialism. Occupation Socialism is socialism within the same type of business within the local district. Which does spark distract capitalistic competition throughout Minervaindexca.
However, all 3 of the utility districts adopt Miotia-Candorian capitalism.

Minervaindexca is also known as a nightless city. This is due to the different shifts of class and club activity throughout the day. Each district, each school have their own schedule. The maximum schooling hour in a day is 6 hours, which is stated by law.

Additionally, A handful portion of tax/funds goes to the Yotsubishi Corporation.
Infrastructure

Minervaindexca uses a lot of magnetic trains, possibly more than Edokyuuria. At the heart of every district, a smaller version of the old Senate Terminal could be seen.
Minervaindexca is under the protection of a Rikura based private military company named Voluntas. Which is also another cover for Yotsubishi Corporation to avoid any influences from the United Kingdom States.
Minervaindexca has three Third Generation Arsenal Ray circling around the massive city-state. These were constructed in Frontera and Rikura in secret. Several parts were also made in Hong Kong.
Currently, there is 6 Ashigara-Mk2 Class DDN in defending the city. They're all Unmanned.

This also puts Minervaindexca in the position of deciding the United Kingdom's affairs. If conflicts were to break out between the two, the United Kingdom would only show its own weakness.

Energy
Unlike the United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor, Minervaindexca's energy source is consists of 55% renewable energy, and the rest being nuclear fission.
Recently the Student Council Sanctum looked forward to buying power from their northern neighbor.

光の旋律

この空の輝き
君の胸に届いてる?
夢見てた調べは静けさのように

君の手がまだ夢に遠くても
思い出してよ 優しい声を
誰かが君のため 歌った幸福(しあわせ)の和音(コード)

空の音響け、高く哀しみを超えて
君の目に映るものは全て本当の世界
涙さえ君をここに留めておけない
降り注ぐ光の中 明日を奏でて

本当は誰にも聞こえない
そんな音だった
でも誰の胸にも明るく響いてた

幸せはきっと次の坂道で
君の不意をついてキスをくれるよ
いつかその涙が涸れる頃
聞こえる君の和音(コード)

太鼓の音から始まるよ song of love
誰もが知っていたその歌に一つ
空色の音符重ねて

一人で歌ってたときは少しだけ寂しくて
君のことずっと呼んでいた
届いたんだよね?
君の元へ

ほんとうの痛みが
君の胸に触れたとき
夢見てた調べが
静けさのように

空の音響け、高く哀しみを超えて
今ここに生きてること 笑い合えるその日まで
優しさも夢もここに留めておけない
消えて行く光の中 明日を奏でて

やがて君の手が掴む永久(とこしえ)の真実
かなわないと思うから
いっそ高らかな声で
その歌に君は希望と名付けて泣いた
夢見る人の心に 確かに届くよ

Hikari no Senritsu

Is the radiance from sky
Finding its way to your heart?
The tempo in your dreams is like silence

Though your hand is still far away
Remember that gentle voice
Someone sang for you a chord of happiness

Sound of the sky, echo high and overcome sadness
All of what is reflected in your eyes is the real world
Not even tears can keep you behind
You play the song of tomorrow, surrounded in light

In truth, it's a sound
That cannot be heard by anyone
But it echoed brightly inside someone's heart

Surely, over the next hill
Happiness will catch your unexpecting with a kiss
Someday, when your tears dry up
They will hear your chord

From the sound of a drum a song of love begins
It's a song that everyone knows -
A continuous, sky-blue note

The times I sang alone were a little lonely
So I've always been calling out to you
It's reached you, hasn't it?
Where ever you are...

I have felt true pain
When I've touched your chest
The tempo in your dreams
Is like silence

Sound of the sky, echo high and overcome sadness
I am living on here now, until the day when we can smile together again
Kindness and dreams cannot keep you behind
You play the song of tomorrow, in a vanishing light

Because you think you won't be able to handle
The eternal truth you'll grasp in your hand one day,
You cried, giving the name of "hope" to this song
And sang it in a loudening, ringing voice
It will definitely reach the hearts of dreamers

Miotian Imperial Times
Deadlines and Ultimatum
Edokyuuria has sent an ultimatum to New Republic of Frontera midnight. Geographic records, safety documentation of certain Yotsubishi equipment, Trade deals after Rias Union, monthly report of corrosion within the Sitnalta frame, are all overdue.
This does not apply only to politics, even the private industries are affected by overdue work.
Edokyuuria suspects corruption within the high level of the Frontrean government. Edokyuuria issued an ultimatum, demanding New Republic of Frontera to either apply for an extension plan with clearly written schedules or submit their overdue work. They have 12 hours before the United Kingdom takes action.

We've also interviewed some of the naval personnel in the Naval Academy:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Voice1: What!? We're going to what now!?
Reporter: Edokyuuria has isussed-
Voice2: Inaban, we're going to invade Frontera?
Voice1: Just- shut up, Akima.
Reporter: Excuse me?
Voice1: This is outrageous... Must've been a suggestion from Hirosei-
Reporter: Hirosei? As in the Airforce's-?
Voice1: Nevermind that! Anyway, there's nothing much we could do about it, we will follow the schedule and depart if the worst happens.
Reporter: Wait- Wait a moment!
Voice1: Guards, take this unwanted visitor out of the hanger.
Reporter: Wait-
Voice1: Sorry miss, this is a restricted area in the first place.
Voice2: You do know that they're streaming live right, Inaban?


Hirosei Estate, Flugel, United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor
“M’lady, it seems like the first fleet has left the naval academy. Your transport is also ready”
The butler walked into the office and reported to Hirosei Hana.
“Thank you, I’ll be there soon.”
Hirosei replied politely and returned writing her email. The Butler left the room and closed the massive fancy wooden door quietly.
Now she is alone again in her office. The sound of a pendulum at the corner could be heard clearly again.
“Now then… let’s have some fun shall we? Inaban? Heller?”
She smirked as she put her coat on and sent the email. Taking a folder with her, with the insignia of the Voluntas Company.

Walking out to the sunlight, a transport helicopter was waiting for her.
Just as she took the steps into the vehicle, the sky suddenly turned dark.
It was an Arsenal Ray passing by, heading toward the west, Frontera.
“Well, it’s time for us to go too.”
She murmured as the door of the transport closed. Showing the seal of the Chief Staff of the Airforce.

First Fleet, URN DDVN Hakuhou, Nautilus, Frontera Weather: Foggy
F-37 began to take off, scouting the area ahead as fully anti-submarine equipped Ashigara-class DDGs scout the DDVN.
“Well, who would’ve thought her maiden voyage would be like this?”
Captain Akima commented as he came back inside to the bridge from the fog.
“That can’t be helped. While our real goal is to smoke out what happened to that governor plane that was shot down in Mendenwall back in december can’t believe we’re doing it by sheer force…”
Inaban signed, fixing her admiral cap as she leaned on the wall. She backed away from the wall quickly, realizing the paint wasn’t dry.
“Great…”

Second Fleet and the 3rd Battalion, Trinada, Weather: Foggy
As landing crafts reached the beach, the URA and the URN could see that the Fronteran were clueless on what’s about to happen.
The occupation forces were able to make their way through the Fronterans capital like tourists. While many other Frontereans take pictures, videos, etc, thinking this is a parade of sorts.
“...I do believe they are missing the point”
One of the soldiers said.

As the occupation moved toward the capitol building, the streets were suddenly cleared.
“Where is everyone?”
Not before long, a battalion of unregistered classes of green and yellow Aragami Sentries marches out of the mist in uniform. Forming a blockade.

“What is the meaning of this!?”
Chief of Army Staff Nick Heller shouted through the SOOM call conference.



Yotsubishi Tanabe Pharma, Sitanita, Frontera
“Who are you people!?”
Doctor Boikin asked the masked agents who broke into the foundation facility.
The masks had no facial features other than a thin line for eyes and mouth.
They broke into the facility copying and stealing the database, then destroyed it.
“Our higher ups had enough playing nice and friendly with the ‘enemy’.”
One of them spoke before leaving the room through a collapsed wall.
“Our?”
The mysterious ‘thieves’ left, however there is more suffering to come. The United Kingdom’s military is slowly breaking into the underwater city via hacking into the lockdown system. Due to the fact not a single shot was fired yet from either side. Neither side dared to spark it.

Unknown forces, Underwater tunnels.
“Hurry up!”
The masked one in lead shouted, holding the door open for the rest of the team.
“To think we could’ve saved the entire database into three SSDs.”
“We must take it back as soon as possible. Who knows when the ‘enemy’ would strike?”
“Like now?”
A man’s voice could be heard from behind, they have been followed by someone.
Sakamoto Ryouma, of the Neo-Sphinx division of the SSS 3rd branch and his team were all aiming at the ‘thieves’.
“You gave us a flavor of retrieving the blueprint from the 8th branch. Which we’ve always been suspicious of. I’ll thank you for giving them a hard day. However, I don’t like killing brats, it really does recommend you to surrender and hand over the SSDs.”

“The 3rd branch!? So that means the United Royal Navy is here already…”
The shorter masked agent muttered in panic.
“Oh? You even know about the ties between the navy and the 3rd branch huh?”
Sakamoto replied, impressed.
“We’re not your enemy.”
The masked leader said.
“Perhaps, but that doesn’t matter, we have our orders.”
Sakamoto insisted.
“The true enemy is-”

“I’ll count to 3, before that, surrender to us.”
Sakamoto said coldly.
“1”
The masked agents did not move an inch.
“2”
The tension rises as mine exploding could be heard through the walls.
“3”
“We refuse.”
The leading figure of the masked agents shouted.
“Tsk.”
The thieves reminded him of Marissa’s stubbornness.
“Why does this dirty job include killing kids so damn much…”
Sakamoto muttered in regret as he gave the signal to fire.
One of the older masked agents rushed to the front and took out what looked like a rectangular shield, blocking the heavy fire.
“What- there’s no way she could’ve carried that-”
Before Sakamoto could react, another masked agent released paralyzing gas in the area.
“These- these are extinct equipment from the former reign-”
The oxygen tanks and masks were very quickly destroyed by something that looked like a red hot cutter knife.
“Damn you-”
The Neo-Sphinx Division quickly fell unconscious.

“Quickly! Get on the boat!””
The leader of the masked agents ordered as the fog gets even thicker on the surface.
“I can’t wait to get back home and tell everyone about our trip.”
The little seems excited.
The boat quickly departs and disappears into the fog, heading toward an ancient shadow.



First Fleet, URN DDVN Hakuhou, Nautilus, Frontera Weather: Foggy
“This is DDH Aoshima to DDVN Hakuhou, the 5th battalion has secured the underwater city and the 8th branch of the Yotsubishi Corporation.”
“This is DDVN Hakuhou to DDH Aoshima, secure to the central command center of the hospital, we don’t want anyone from activating the underwater fortress. That thing is the equivalent of Edokyuuria.”
Akima replied via transmitter as he looked out into the fog.
“Unde… sto…”
DDH Aoshima CIC replied, however the signal is getting weaker.
“?”
Suddenly the first officer Oriba Ooyama slammed open the hatch and called Akima back inside the bridge.
“We’re being jammed.”
“What!?”
“We’re being jammed. Sir!”
“What do you mean we’re being jammed!? We’re in goddamn Frontera!”
The next moment and explosion could be seen in the thick mist. Which shocked the entire fleet, the fighting has begun.

“All hands, Battlestation!”
Inaban ordered as Akima climbed down from the upper deck into CIC.
“What’s the situation!?”
Akima asked as he walked over to the radar officer.
“Sir, our FAF system has been hacked, every single ship and jet out there is labelled as hostiles-”
Before the officer could finish, an explosion shocked the entire ship.
“We’re firing at ourselves sir.”
“That’s impossible-”
He cut off and turned to Inaban, both nodding in agreement. It’s a backdoor in the program planned by Yotsubishi Corporation.
“Use morse, while we try the radio, I want every single jet and ship to switch to the preinstalled 2016 FAF right now.”
Akima ordered.

“So that’s why they wanted me on board…”
IT department chief sighed at the corner.

One by one the red spots on the radar slowly return to blue.
Everyone in the CIC sighed.
Akima quickly asked for a damage report, which turned out one F-37 destroyed and minor damage on the DDG Awoo.
“Well, it could be worse-”
Just when he thought the wave was over, a new blue dot appeared on the radar.
“There shouldn’t be anymore-”
Before the radar officer could finish, the radar data was mysteriously malfunctioning. Making the last blue dot appearing all over and there.
“Captain, you probably want to see this!”
First officer Oriba Ooyama called from the bridge.

Inaban and Akima quickly took the lift to the bridge. Upon arriving, other than the malfunctioning electronics, a massive black shadow could be seen in the distance.
“I don’t remember any landmarks here on the map.”
Inaban said as she went for a closer look with her binocular.

“This is really strange, it's like one of those phenomena in Kuzikistan sea, or what the Second Combined Fleet encounter during the Serpentuem war.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about Ooyama.”
Akima commented on the first officer’s muttering.
“Our tracking system won’t-”
“Incoming!”
Inaban shouted.
“Incoming? But missile won’t-”
Before the crew could react An explosion coming from the deck and DDG Fubuki could be seen.
“What was that!?”
Akima asked as he held onto the wall until the ship stabilized.
Looking out the window, DDG Fubuki’s superstructure has been completely destroyed, the vessel was on the verge of capsizing. DDVN Hakuhou’s deck sustained mild damage due to the double plat conduction armor she has.
“That’s no missile… that’s a goddamn naval gun!”
Akima shouted as he walked over to the center of the bridge.
The giant shadow approaches at a stunning speed that could rival Hakuhou’s.
As the mysterious vessel approaches, four twin 35.6cm caliber naval guns could be seen aiming at DDNV Hakuhou and DDG Awoo.
“It’s a Haruna-Class Fast Battleship, the one my father told me about.”
Tactical officer Hayato Amamori said in shock.
“A ghost ship.. huh?”
Oriba Ooyama suspects as he orders to have the four AGS-X target the unidentified battleship.
“All AGS-X prepares for HP rounds, we need to disable those 35.6cm or we’re good as dead!”

“You’re telling me that thing is a Haruna-Class? The one from the Kkhano war!?”
“Yes Captain, I’m sure of it.”
“It’s a hundred year old-”
The four 35.6cm guns on the Haruna-Class fired. The shockwave and fire from the guns could be seen breaking through the thick fog.
DDG Awoo broke into two and sank, for DDVN Hakuhou while the electric plating took most of the damage, more than half of the hanger was destroyed.
It was a direct hit.

“How the hell did their electronics work in this area?”
Ooyama asked as he tried to get up from the floor.
“Eyes. they’re using their eyes.”
Amamori answered calmly as he admired the ancient battleship passed by.

“Why aren’t we firing!?”
Akima shouted at the AGS-X gun mounts.

Inaban stood on the edge of the balcony, admiring the floating relic. Noticed a paint over of some sort of wolf-like logo.
The crew of the Hakuhou watches in silence and admiration as the FBB Haruna passes by, leaving the heavily damaged first fleet behind.



??? FBB Haruna
On the bridge of the ‘ghost ship’ was filled with masked crew members.
“Sir, we’ve broken through the last line of the URN occupation fleet. As planned, we will reach our destination in half a day.”
The masked crewmen reported.
“We must leave this area before the fog clears. Her excellency is waiting.”
“Yes. Of course.”
The masked crewmen answered and returned to his post.

“We’re certainly outdated, but we’re not outgunned.”

Slowly in the fog and mist, the flag of the Voluntas Private Military Company could be seen flying by the FBB Haruna.



Afterward
The occupation of New Republic of Frontera and Mendenwall was successful. Edokyuuria launched an investigation of the crashed flight that carried a government corporation overseer of the Yotsubishi Corporation.
Furthermore, the URA has been putting pressure on the Fronterean government to finish their overdue works, ranging from internal governing to trade deals that should’ve been done back in mid 2019.
Other than the URF surrounding Fronterean ministries pursuing them to finish up their work, both Republics returned to their ordinary days.

The first fleet is rumored to be heavily damaged during the occupation, however the navy did not release any more information on the topic.

UKMC Season 2

Dear Itashikir,

How are you doing? Despite the unfortunate warfares that had taken place over here, I’m doing very well over here in the Republic.
Do you still remember that fateful day we met? Wheatfield that goes as far as to the horizon. Visible waves of wind passed through the field as we sat, and enjoyed the view of that summer starry night.
My memory of that day was as fresh as if it was yesterday.
This field where I currently settled certainly reminded me of Omoikane, our home.
Today marks the 23rd anniversary since we left.
I know it is still difficult for you to accept.
Please.
Return to us. In our new home.

Love, Opere

June 4th, 3:20am
The humanoid figure puts away the letter as the Shinkansen emerges from the tunnel. The ruined and plant-covered view of the former Amatsumikaboshi could be seen. Especially the former local university campus and the concert stage at the beach. The fans and families of the victims of the Celestial 5 idol group gathered at the stage as the annual memorial ceremony held by the local university began.
To their own surprise, he did not turn away from looking at it.
They remember the scenery twelve years ago very well. They were simply following the chairman’s orders at that time. Morally blinded by their people’s fury and helplessness, they finally did what he was told.
For a certain period of time that guilt of what they did haunt them. However, these feelings started to turn dull as the years went on. Reason was one of the few things they still hold onto.
They know the path he chose was not of a hero’s.
“Justice must be done through heaven’s fall.”

June 5th, 2020, 12:16am, United Kingdom of ???, central capital: Edokyuuria
“Hold on!”
PHS operator Haru Shinozaki shouted as she forcefully turned the wheel, drifting through the alley.
“Just what the hell is happening!?”
Hawk Graf, the retired veteran in his casual clothes, asks as officer Albert Lionheart passes a pistol to him.
“As if we’ve got any idea.”
Albert replied while busy contacting the other field officers.
The sound of bullets hitting the armored vehicle could be heard as the chase continued.
Tatiana Graf, lost her consciousness after she was hit by a paralyzing round from the enemy. Officer Rika Sutsushi, and a good friend of the operator, sat beside Tatiana and monitored her health status.
“Have you figured out what caused her to pass out?”
Albert asked, lowering the window to return fire from the pursuers.
“The chemical found in the needle is similar to those used by the failed anti-Miraculum life contamination units.”
“Rika, I thought that project was abandoned!?”
“Either the Yotsubishi gave them the data or they had spies within the Corp.”
Shinozaki commented coldly as the vehicle returned to the main road. A curfew has been placed under the entire capital after the unfortunate events hours ago. A friend or foe filter was installed on the Athena crime prevention system. The United Royal Army moved in from Izanagi to seize control of the parliament. A state of emergency has been declared throughout the entire Republic and its overseas territories.
“Will she be ok?”
The girl in casual clothes who was sitting across from Tatiana and Sutsushi asked worriedly. She seems to be about the same age as Tatiana.
“The AMLCU failed to contain the spread of miraculum infestation in Hinomoto, I’m sure she will be fine.”
The officer replied, slightly surprised by the girl’s sudden question.
“Who is she anyway?”
Graf asks Shinozaki while he reloads his weapon.
“Not entirely sure. But Hirosei insisted on having her follow along.”
The girl in question did not reply, she stared at the red skyline of Edokyuuria as it got more distance from the vehicle.

June 4th, 2020, 6:50am, United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor, Edokyuuria, former ministry of defence
“Your move.”
Airforce’s chief executive Hana Hirosei said carefreely after she moved her chess piece.
On the other side of the table Army’s chief executive Nick Heller, was her opponent.
The two were sitting at the center of a completely empty and abandoned office of the minister of defence within the abandoned sector of the Edokyuuria Arcology.
Despite the fact there was no electricity, the two could see the chessboard surprisingly well.
“You’re going easy on me huh?”
Heller asked as he moved his piece and won. Hirosei smiled maliciously.
“What do you have in mind?”
Heller leaned back on the sofa and asked with suspicion.
“I was wondering what kind of future will you show the twin kingdoms?”
She asks him as the light of dawn shines through the broken window, causing a giant shadow of the two on the wall.
“...”
He did not reply.
“Uncertain huh? Or perhaps it won’t succeed if you let it out?”
“...”
“Well, either way, it’s time for me to depart. If you excuse me.”
Hirosei stood up and bowed at her colleague. Turning away from the table, her nobility aura could be felt just by looking at the movement of her cape.

Walking out of the abandoned sector, Hirosei makes a phone call, with the ID: V.
“It’s me. Get 053A out of the United Kingdom as soon as possible.”

June 4th, 2020, 8:00am, United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor, Kanatoro, Flugel, Airforce headquarters
In the vast desert of northern Kanatoro, a large group of trucks slowly approaches the Flugel Base. The base was not anything impressive on the surface, a runway, and a few buildings. However, it's an entirely different story underground. This is the largest airforce base within the United Kingdom, it is also the one that houses Arsenal Rays.
“Eh? A convoy of trucks?”
One of the guards asked after he saw the incoming convoy with his binoculars at the top of the control tower.
“Did our princess ordered some AAM-3 from Amason?”
The control tower asked sarcastically.
“I’m pretty sure Yotsubishi don’t sell AAM-3 on Amason, commander.”
The trucks stopped at the gate as the airforce guards slowly walked over.
“Whatsssuuuup-”
Before the guard could react, a bullet was put between his eyes. The next moment a squadron equipped with quantum stealth robes shot the other guards at the gate.
One of the soldiers had a rocket launcher aimed at the control tower.
“Sound the alert now!-”
The tower exploded, killing most of the officers.
In the burning remains of the control tower, the commander reached for the alarm.
“You’re not getting away with this… Heller.”

The alarm echoed through the colossal underground hanger as engineers dropped their tools and rushed to the shelter.
Gates to the surface slowly began to be sealed off one by one like airlocks.
The camouflaged force slowly advances into the surface base with little to no resistance.

June 4th, 2020, 12:10pm, United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor, Edokyuuria, The Citadel Square
“Is the World Union the answer? Was the World Union ever the answer? We did try to reach out to the world, and I believe that’s a good thing. Integration of Kjanu? Joining the WU? I believe that’s a grave mistake. Look at the current United Kingdom, you could hardly even call it administered at all. Do you really think the commonwealth would have approved the construction of the Midonia-Class orbital destroyers if we didn’t share the blueprints? Why did the Serpentuem Resistance War last so long? We have weapons of mass destruction, and they were in the silos rusting. If losing half of the country to Serpentuem forces isn’t enough to use them, when are we going to? The next time Serpentuem attacks we will use our nuclear arsenal.”
Saskia Piltz of the nationalist party furiously criticizes the Mashiro administration during this last debate right before the election on the 4th. The Citadel was the very top of the United Kingdom, physically and politically. In front of the capitol building, under a clear sky, the last political debate was held as seagulls gathered above.
“What good is there if we leave the World Union now? We’re a major power within the union if you haven’t realized yet. Rather than blaming it on the outside why don’t we have a look at the inside? We are one of the most technologically advanced nation, and yet we don’t utilize them in defence. Instead what the heck did we use these tech for? Entertainment!? Anime? We’ve been using the same infantry equipment for the past 3 decades.”
Nicola Lafrenz of the United Soicalist Party replied at Saskia Piltz’s comment.
“What? Are you going to take away the economic freedom of those industries? Why is war the first thing that comes to your tiny brains whenever we have a debate? Anyway, I’d agree that the integration of Kjanu is not well administered, it is necessary to bring the three-nation closer. If you look at the situation currently, we are only helplessly watching kjanu in chaos.”
Liberal Democratic Party’s Nagase Ryu added calmly, confident in her potential voters.
“Well, if they would allow the URF to head over there in the first place, there wouldn’t be such chaos. Additionally, have you all forgotten to demand reparation from those aliens? You actually expect us to sit here and do nothing while these war criminal Valassari or whatever they call themselves from other nations take our jobs? This is ridiculous, humans must always come first.”
Else Schnorr of the Neo-fascist party added.
“You know it would be nice if we just put the Imperatrix back in power-”
Morita Takejiro immediately got backslash from all parties.
“Ahem.
PRAISE BE OUR ETERNAL GODDESS IRENE.”
Stella Inder shouted through the microphone.

The stage was just a few steps away. Head of state Mashiro Fuyuki hesitated, still thinking about Tatiana’s memory loss and what Alfred Heller said to her back at the hospital. Yotsubishi 1st branch’s secret connection with the Army? Just what were they planning? The plane that crashed in Mendenwall back in december, was that Yotsubishi doing… or...
“What are you waiting for?”
Vice-GC Victoria Achenbach of the Constitutional Imperial Rule Party asked from behind. Kindly smiled at her.
“...”
“No one’s first job is the head of state. However, do not let those emotions get to you.”
Mashiro took a moment to organize her thoughts and nodded as her confidence returned.
However, Victoria did not come out with her.
Putting away her notes, she took a long look at the old bookmark. It was a good luck charm given by Laruna Kracht, a former classmate of hers. It was a memorial she received before her last performance as one of Celestial 5’s members, twelve years ago, on the exact same day as today.
Thought to be a change in the event script, Mashiro continues her way to the stage.
The crowd slowly returns to silence as the Imperatix turns her attention to the entrance of the stage,
The PHS in the back stage and at the windows of the parliament building are constantly searching for threats as tension grows in the square.

“Now it has truly saddened me that the invasion of Fronteran-Mendenwall was executed with a 88% vote within the parliament weeks ago.
Excuse me.

We’ve been through a lot for the past year, haven't we? Serpentuem declared war on us, some aliens, Valarssari declared war on us. Now? We’re allies, friends. We joined the World Union. Further uniting the world. We even sent a diplomat to Jezabelstien and he did come back. The Hinomoto desert…. Is no longer a desert. Look at that massive organic structure at the horizon. We did have teardrop plague, in the end, our cooperation with Serpentuem developed a cure from the particles of its pollen.
I’ve been elected because I was a meme. Yes. Laugh.
Throughout my past term, I have noticed even after we’ve moved to democracy, we’re still chained. Culturally chained, yes. Not by authoritarianism not by foreign powers, definitely not by money.
Our twin kingdoms are cursed and chained by hate since the dawn of time.
For 900 years we fought each other, chained to fight until the last standing, weren’t we pathetic? However, we did rise from those feelings of hate. We did break these chains.
And we can certainly do it again.
It’s all pain, sweat, tears, and blood. However, no revenge should govern our fate.
I’m talking to all of you, candidates.”
She paused to look at the other candidates.

“All within the state, nothing outside, nothing against the state?
We're a superpower at the world stage, think about the effects of our decision on the people of the world, damn it.
Focusing on rebuilding the United Kingdom and its relations to the FTF after the four major conflicts from 2018 to 2020 is the main goal of the Moeist Democratic Union of Cando-”

Entering Miotian Waters, Aboard Experimental Transport Cesarski Helicopter Freysil
June 4th, 2020 6:00 am

_________________________________________________________________

As the sun rises from the Eastern sea, casting the Miotian skies with a brilliant red glimmer, the subtle yet present sounds of slicing rotors can be vaguely heard from an unknown source. No shadows are present to expose its identity, however; a slight distortion in the morning sky can still be observed moving across the horizon towards the United Kingdom. It is as if light itself is being manipulated to slide off the sleek exterior of the unknown source by some sort of meta-material, creating a sort of optical camouflage as the foreign object continues its course.

"Thirty minutes till we arrive in the target city." announced the pilot of the Freysil.

Two unknown voices can then be heard from the back having a heated argument. One voice seemingly stemming from a young adolescence figure and the other from an older foreigner both wearing a sparrow insignia on their lapel.

"You sure we should be flying within the vicinities of the RIAS space elevator?"

"What? Would you rather fly over the chaotic zkylinez of Kjanu? Even with advance camouflage, luck will ztill be a large dependent factor if we chose that unztable path, I would rather not rizk our tezt flight to zome lucky zhrapnel or zhell. Pluz, I'm confident in this technology and thiz iz a good and zafe way to tezt it, we zhould pazz undetected."

"I do not understand why we must depart as well, the 12th and members of the 10th could've easily handled this themselves..."

"I know you are anxiouz to return, be patient, the pie will tazte better if you let it cool. It iz bezt to zee one'z own plan flourizh in order to azcertain itz zuccezz, we muzt make certain thiz looze end iz tied properly before the exchange. Pluz, the 10th have already infiltrated the preparation ztaff there lazt night and 'prepared' the area quite well for the upcoming event. All we have to do is watch and enjoy the entertainment, not bad huh?"

"Fine, I'll bring the popcorn. Good lord fix up your accent, it's like talking to an alien with you."

Edokyuuria Citadel Square, Secluded section of the crowded viewing area
June 4th, 2020 12:40 am

A humanoid figure can be seen shimmering in and out of sight, his or her figure seemingly invisible as their body drifts in and out of view like a distortion created from heat. The figure moves quickly into position unnoticed via sight or sound, this thanks to Mashiro's loud speech being projected all throughout the square, even stress scanners from the ATHENA system have failed to determine the Health data of this unknown figure, making it no exaggeration to call him or her a living ghost. As the thunderous speech goes on, the figure can be seen crouching behind an empty row and... laughing? No, perhaps withering in pure utter rage... Or perhaps, maybe even been both, it is quite hard to tell with the figure seemingly transparent with light sliding off the cloak which fully covers the figure. Suddenly, deep breathes can be heard from the figure as he or she readies and assembles a weapon of unknown calibre hidden under the cloak, however; the sound of which is all still being masked by the raging speech. After attaching the scope, the tip of the barrel can be visibly observed as it leaves the protection of the cloak pointing steadily and directly at Mashiro's head before shouting his or her first words since entering the Citadel.

"1984 never forget!"

As the phrase rang out, echoing through the square, soundly revealing the general position of the unknown figure; another deep breath can be heard and then...
_________________________________________________________________

Edokyuuria Citadel Square, Amidst the crowd in the viewing area
June 4th, 2020 12:37 am

Two unknown figures can be seen sitting amongst the crowd in broad daylight, one offering popcorn to those sitting next to him and the other has their attention fully immersed on the speech, or more so, the podium housing a certain majesty which is behind the person making the speech. Both of these two figures seems to be wearing an odd sparrow insignia, this fashion choice was seemingly reflected in some of the audience within the crowd. As time ticks on a voice can be heard.

"Are the otherz ready for extraction? It iz almozt time... good lord, why the hell did they chooze to hozt thiz outdoorz during zummer?! The temperature iz terrible and itz like playing minezweeper when choozing a zeat with all theze zeagullz flying around." The focused individual asked.

"Yeah *munch munch* they should be ready *munch munch munch*. Just waiting for the signal *munch munch munch munch*." Replied the unknown figure finishing up his popcorn.

"Could you not talk with food in your mouth? Young people theze dayz have no mannerz." The first individual retorted as he places his feet on the row of chairs infront of him.

"I guezz it iz time, the zpeech is getting boring, let'z bring zome excitement to thiz boring atmozphere, let the symphony of change play to a new dawn! Nov Oridinis!" The first individual continued as he clicks a button hidden underneath his lapel.

From a distance, the speaker can be heard wrapping up her speech as the phrase "...is the main goal of the Moeist Democratic Union of Cando-" can be heard before being violently cut off by...

'BOOM BOOM BWAM CLACK'

An explosion, born completely out of nowhere, engulfed the podium holding the Imperatrix and her group, killing them instantly as rubble tumbled throughout the stage like the drumming of a percussion instrument.

'BANG'

The sound of a non-silenced rifle can be heard bouncing throughout the sqaure, acting as the chorus to the unexpected tune of the explosion, harmonizing in an oddly horrifying and chaotic orchestration. However, a slight tune feels off and uncoordinated as the unexpected explosion and the scale of the blast ended up affecting the unknown figure's aim, causing him or her to miss Mashiro's head but instead, land a shot around the appendix area.

'THUMP'

The sound echoed as the chaotic orchestra draws its last chord. The sound, resulting from a body of a once prominent leader of an up and coming super power finally collapsing to the dark pressures that have haunted her for ages, spells the end of pacifist rule and bringing upon a new chapter for the United Kingdom and its subject. A new season, per se, of never ending hate.

As the conductor lays down his baton, cheers, caremes, and claps replaced by jeers, screams, and collapse. The unknown figure can be seen disassembling his gun before making his escape away from the panicked horde, hidden by his cloak marked with the word Cersarski, and vanished into the afternoon light.



Frontera's post ends here.


June 4th, 2020, 12:40pm, United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor?, Edokyuuria, Haruhabara, Stand Alone News Haruhabara Office
Rather than an actual office, it’s just a cheap apartment rent by the company.
Journalist Kana Ichihara walks through the cramped hallway to get her way to the kitchen. The new office was still filled with boxes and unpacked equipment. Blaney Mikel, a Serpentuem immigrant who was hired by the company a month ago, was assigned here. There were only the two of them. Blaney does most of the unpacking and cleaning most of the time if not all of the time.
Blaney is usually seen at the lobby area where he sets up the equipment provided by the headquarters. However today was different.
Filling a few more named cups of coffee and placing them on the table with empty seats.
“Is there something wrong?”
Kana asked through the kitchen, where he saw Blaney poke his head out of the window.
“There’s something going on up there, Kana.”
“The debate?”
“Well, technically yes… but I don’t think it is simply just that.”
Black smoke could be seen rising at the top of the Edokyuuria arcology, the capitol building.

June 4th, 2020, 12:45pm, United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor?, Edokyuuria crater, Akademie-Stadt II, Wcdonald’s
“I can’t believe you finished eating your 3rd big wac, Tatiana.”
“Is it wrong to do so, father?”
“It’s fine.”
Retired veteran Graf Hawk and his adoptive daughter Tatiana Hawk are currently having lunch unaware of the events that happened minutes ago. Tatiana was discharged from hospital a month ago. She suffered from the loss of memory after a certain event happened in Hong Kong. Although it is probably better this way, which allowed her to live a normal life.
She somehow developed an introverted personality. Which was quite troublesome when they were applying for schools.
At the corner of the restaurant, Graf has taken notice of a person dressed in a blacksuit looking at them the whole time. It was strange to see someone dressed so formal to be in a fast food restaurant in the first place, it just stands out.
Graf told Tatiana he was going to the washroom, and walked toward the man in the suit looking at them.
“Do I know you, sir?”
Graf asked with suspicion. Instead of replying, the man just handed him a note with the seal of the Hirosei clan, the Voluntas corporation, and lastly, a seal of an owl.
“Who-”
Before Graf could finish his sentence, the screen on the television switched to emergency broadcast.
“Take her with you, and go.”
The man in suit gave Graf a pistol only moments before a group of hooded individuals stormed the fast food restaurant.
A few of the customers who turned out to be undercover agents of the CIA started to exchange fire with the armed group as Graf ran to grab Tatiana’s hand. It was cold, unlike her previous self, she was in shock and scared.
They quickly retreated to the kitchen as the sound of ATHENA stress level contamination alarm rings in the area.
“You got a call, father.”
Tatiana who had his phone in her hand showed Graf the incoming call from officer Lionheart.
“Huh?”
Graf picked up the phone despite the gun fire outside.
“Where? Minervaindexca? Now?”

June 4th 4:20pm, Miotian Imperial Times
At approximately today at 12:40pm, a terrorist attack was carried out at the Citadel of the Edokyuuria Arcology.
The attack took place during the political debate, it has been reported more than 100 people injured and 40 dead. Including Chancellor candidates, parliament members and other government officials. It also has been reported her highness Yoshika Kurumi has passed away shortly after she was sent to the hospital.

Additionally,
After the careful consideration of such attacks occurring under the athena system, the Public health security has been deemed insufficient. As part of this decision, the following units has been mobilized: Northern United Royal Army, 1st division 1st infantry regiment, 5th infantry regiment, 6th infantry regiment, 2nd artillery regiment, 1st and 2nd armored battalion….
.
.
.
However since the revision of the Twin Kingdom Constitution by the Mashiro administration, all provision of martial law has been dropped by legal code...



Edokyuuria Arcology, Citadel, June 4th, 2020 11:45 AM
Marissa left the washroom after fixing her disguise. A shadow was caught in the edge of her sight the moment she stepped into the marble cathedral-like hallway.
The figure standing at the end of the empty neo-gothic hallway caught her attention. This section of the Citadel should’ve been off-limit to the public.
The sunlight shines through the arch windows, the marble interior reflects and delivers light to every end of the hallway. There was no one else, only her and the figure at the other end.
Checking on the time, Marissa decides to make her move and approach the figure standing in the shadow.
Passing columns and engraved glass, having her shadow appear and disappearing again and again between the streams of sunlight.
“You nya..the air force's-”
Marissa stopped halfway through the hallway when she recognized the figure.
“That will certainly make things easier.”
Hirosei replied as she walked out of the shadows, handing her a folded cloak in a plastic package.

Edokyuuria Arcology Citadel Square, Secluded section of the crowded viewing area June 4th, 2020 12:54 AM
Minutes after the explosion on stage, the citadel square is now engulfed in flames. Both civilians and officials alike are rushing toward the emergency exit. The security reinforcement was yet to be seen.
Taking off her quantum stealth cloak in the dense smoke, Marissa quickly ran toward the center of the half collapsed stage.
Leaping over the wide gap swiftly, she broke through the dense smoke and arrived at the smoke concealed center of the stage.
Horrified by the initial sight, however, a sense of relief returned when she noticed Mashiro was still breathing.
“You...are?”
Mashiro slowly opened her teary eyes and asked. Marissa quickly takes an oxygen mask and puts it on Mashiro before she responds.
In the jungle of ashes and sparks, only a shadow of a feline eared humanoid could be seen through her mask. She did try to say something, however, she fell unconscious before she could make out any sort of sound.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure we can fix those broken bones.”
Marissa said as she lifts Mashiro off the ground and carries her. Putting on the cloak, she jumped off the remains of the stage.

Kanatoro, Imperial Palace Complex, June 4th, 2020 1:00 PM
“The fire isn’t slowing down at all.”
A firefighter shouted through the radio. The wooden keep at the outer walls of the imperial palace collapsed into the river as the fire continued to spread throughout the pentagon-shaped. complex.
“Have we confirmed the safety of the royal family yet!?”

Miotian Imperial Times, June 4th, 2020 3:45 PM
Today at 1:30PM the Imperial Palace was destroyed by the fire burning from the outside in. The PHS is still investigating the source, however, it is highly suspected to be tied with the Citadel square attack earlier.
Unfortunately, the exits were blocked when the keeps collapsed, it is unknown whether anyone within survived the fire.

Neo-Tokyo Airport, June 5th, 2020, 3:04am
Shinozaki casually stops the bullet hole covered vehicle outside of the airport. The airport staff and travelers took a few steps backward when the door opened.
“Hirosei told me to give these to you.”
Shinozaki handed Graf three white passports.
“These are… fakes?”
“Oh come on, Graf. These are Academic passports.”
Shinozaki explained, flipped the pages of the one at the top.
“Unlike those two girls back there, you’ve got a Voluntas work permit, old man.”
She pointed at the stamp on Graf’s new passport.
“Voluntas? Shinozaki, what?”
“I’m not entirely sure either, but all three of these are issued by Voluntas Inc, the stamps here proves it. Well, that also proves that witch is not only the boss of a few yakuza groups, a noble clan, but also some high-level staff of the Voluntas company.”
Shinozaki explained carefreely, looking at Tatiana and the mysterious girl next to Graf.
“For what reason did she go so far for us?”
Graf asked.
“No, not for you, but for her….. That nameless girl over there, she must have something to do with it.”
The group turns to the girl next to Tatiana who won’t say her name.

Miotian Imperial Times, June 5th, 2020, 8:00 AM
...Unfortunately, none of the members of the royal family has survived the fire and the attack from yesterday. It is unknown what will become of the United Kingdom from this day onward. The temporary military government has not made any announcement referring to the royal family. According to royal code, the Grand Duchess of Rikura is a potential candidate monarch for the United Kingdom and her empire. While the hypothetical Unified States of Pupatory has been shown to be supported by a group. Some also suggest that Candor and Miotia should be separated as two Republics.

Hong Kong Pineapple Daily, June 5th, 2020, 9:00 AM
The whereabouts of the first and second princesses are currently unknown. Rumour has it the two were not present at the palace during the fire.
The remilitarization of Frontera and Mendenwall is still in effect by the Western government despite the events yesterday. Most of the URN was stationed within the Northern Wasaruan bay around the Rias Space elevator and at the coasts of Frontera.
Without the Imperatrix, the current empire is split into 4 self-governing bodies.
-Eastern states(Miotia-Candor-Kjanu)
-Western states(Aretnorf)
-Hong Kong
-Tiamat



Western Miotia-Candorian Empire capital/Republic of Frontera capital, Trinada, A certain abandoned museum
This place used to be an abandoned museum, the URN bought the building and it is currently being used as the Western States capitol building. The sunlight shines through the dirty massive windows of the rectangular meeting hall. As workers continue their restoration of the building, the Colonial government and the Republcian government is gathered here for the meeting. For the final stage of the establishment of the Western Imperial constitution. Despite the United Kingdom’s throne is currently empty. The deputy governor general of the western states, and the chief of staff of the URN, Inaban Fuyu insisted on following the old plans established by the Mashiro administration of Edokyuuria, before the transfer of power to the Army after the June 4th attack in the Eastern States.
With most of the royal family, the whereabouts of the 2 princesses and Chancellor Mashiro is unknown. Making the United Kingdom leaderless. The many states within the United Kingdom’s empire and unions have switched to self-governing for the time being. However they all know this won’t last.
“With this, the Independent Investigation Committee will be established. With the purpose of investigating future Fronteran corruption.
The committee director will be elected within the committee, however the vice director will be installed by us to oversee corruption within. In other words the Fronteran government, or the Imperial government? is back on track with one or two occupied Western Mendenwall territory to manage. Except for the fact, you’ll need the governor general’s seal of approval at the last stage on making a bill into law. In which case it’s me. Until the next monarch appoints another, you all will be stuck with me, so get used to it.
Next, consumption tax will be set to 9%.
The URN will remain in New Republic of Frontera as a defence force for both the state of Frontera and Western Mendenwall. The defence sector must receive at least 16% of the total tax money at all times.
Fronteran citizens are allowed to apply for Miotia-Candorian passports if they pass either the Miotian or Candorian language level of M1 or K1.
Furthermore we will nationalize the following bank in the list. Which will be used for standard government related transactions.
Next, regarding convenience stores. Here’s a system that will allow citizens to pay bills, taxes in these stores. Application extension of visa by foreigners, application for pension exemption, etc can be done in these machines, they’ll be provided by the nationalized bank listed above.
This will reduce the need for ward offices, which will also cut unnecessary government spending in the long run.
Due to the fact we’re lacking the ATHENA system, we’ll leave the Fronteran judicial system untouched.
That’s it.”
Inaban sighed as she leaned back on the chair at one end of the long table. Akima facepalmed at the corner of the room not entirely sure what they’ve done. Looking out at the balcony, a new flag is flying next to both the Frontera and Mendenwall’s.
“Any questions?”
Inaban asked the officials at the dead silent meeting.

Western Miotia-Candorian Empire capital/Republic of Frontera capital, Trinada, deck of URN [DDV] Hakuhou(Repairing)
Inaban was sitting on the edge of the deck, looking at the cityscape of Trinada.
“Just what were you thinking.”
Akima asked as he approached from behind, lighting his cigarette.
“We don’t have much of a choice don’t we, Akima?”
“Well yeah, Inaban, what you just did could’ve been considered treason by the current military Edokyuuria government.”
Both paused for a moment, listening to the sound of seagulls, ocean waves, cars, people chattering under the windy sunny weather.
“This place certainly reminds me of how Sieg used to be before the Valarssari War.”
Inaban said, laying her back on the deck.
“The Eastern Imperium is remilitarizing and we’re also remilitarizing Aretnorf. Don’t you think this is getting a little chilly?”
Akima asked as he sat next to her.
“The current military Edokyuuria will collapse. We just need to drag this rivalry as long as possible. That air force witch Hirosei is still there somewhere. Heller may be in power now, but I’m sure that witch has an ambition bigger than anyone else, this may even be part of her plan.
Anyhow, I’ve made a promise to the late Imperatrix to protect the constitutional monarchy for her daughter long ago. We’ll head back when the timing is right.”
Inaban theorized as she closed her eyes.
“How did you know the air force chief so well anyway?”
“We’ll…”
The two continue to talk on the broken deck of the URN Hakuhou, Heavy aviation destroyer as a Voluntas Airline passenger plane passes by.

Geography


Outskirt of Edokyuuria
Edokyuuria Arcology, the Captial

The United Kingdom can be very hot during the summer and very cold during winter. Most of the northeast of the nation is either a desert or rocky mountains bordering Serpenteum.
The United Kingdom's massive cave system is supported by fossilized giant trees throughout the nation.
As stated, ruins could be found anywhere within the nation. A landscape of ruins of different eras taken back by nature.

After the 900-year war, Vril, Civil, Valrassari, and the Serpentuem war, 90% of the nation's urban skyline which is 70% of the nation is devastated, returned to nature. Making these places a perfect scene for post-apocalyptic films.
The remaining dessert of the nation has been infected during the battle of Hinomoto. When the Aragami was sent to destroy the retreating Serpentuem force, a giant tree rose out of the underground caves and destroyed the sentries, not only saving the Serpentuem forces but its pollens as also cured the soldiers of the teardrop plague. The few-kilometer-tall Speranta Tree is recognized as a miracle, it is a holy site of multiple Northern Wasaruan religions. The Area is currently off-limits to civilians.

Edokyuuria Arcology or formerly known as New Senate Terminal. A massive fortification was built on top and used materials from the sunken ruins of the first ST from the civil war arc. The architecture of the NST needed to be a cone-shaped arch structure, which required a wider area to build. This is because there can be no supportive structure in the center, this is due to various contamination and soft soil reasons after the civil war.
The NST was not only a surface fortification, but it had also planned multiple nuclear generators underground, and network cables connected to ACRS all across the UKMC except for ACRS-009.
While that equipment was planned and installed, they were never activated due to the lack of workers and the budget to maintain them. On the surface of the NST, rail-mounted naval guns were installed all across the structure, missile launchers were also installed. Though they were never used nor loaded.
The NST fortress was never complete after the events of the conspired civil war due to the sudden invasion of Valarssari. NST was the only structure that survived the Valarssari superweapon. Later known as the Edokyuuria Acrology.
After Edokyuuria becomes a lake, the surviving skeleton of the NST has been repaired and remodeled to be an arcology for both civilian and government use. While the central power relay underground sector has been repaired, most of the underground sectors are still flooded with water from the lake.
Plants had taken over most of the lower floors to secure the soil of the newly built/attached garden. Which slightly resemble the hanging gardens. Four main roads and rails were built to restore transportation to the structure, which allows it to regain its function as the major transport hub of Miotia-Candor
To this day, residential structures could be seen building on top of ruins of empty massive gun mounts on the arcology or the ruins around it.

Demographics



Population
The population is about 400 million as of Early 2019
The population is about 148 million as of fall 2020.

Language
Pupatorian is both Miotia and Candor's official language. Candorian speaks North Kjanuan, not to mix with Kjanuan which is very different. Due to influences from Verleschide, German is also widely spoken in Miotia.

Edokyuuria Royal Government



Imperial: Afixikatory/Koushitsu
The Imperial family and the monarch hold ceremonial positions in politics. However, the monarch is also considered to be a descendant of a fallen angel Decfur by the Pupatorian Catherdrasilicom. The members of the Imperial family had blood relations with the bishops and archpriesof the Catherdrasilicom. The reigning monarch is expected to participate in rituals and ceremonies as the figurehead of the Catherdrasilicom. Though this rule had been broken by the current heir to the throne…

Executive: Cistella/Gyoseijimu
The Grand Chancellor heads the Combined Executive branch of Miotia-Candor. The Grand Chancellor is the head of the Cabinet(Cistella/Gyoseijimu) and is appointed by the Combined Legislative branch(Coroniarca/Naikaku). The Cabinet consisted of Ministers, who may be assigned or dismissed by Grand Chancellor at any time.

Grand Chancellor
The Combined Legislative Branch appoints the Grand Chancellor. There are no term limits. The Grand Chancellor acts as the head of government, and the commander-in-chief of the military. The Grand Chancellor has the power to present bills, sign laws, declare a state of emergency, and may also dissolve the Combined Legislative Branch. The Grand Chancellor must be both a civilian of either Miotia or Candor, and a member of either house of the Combined Legislative Branch.
The Grand Chancellor is decided with a run-off system ballot. In case of both houses do not agree on a common candidate past 10 days after the establishment of a joint committee to agree on the issue; the candidate will be the one the House of Representatives designated.

Legislative: Coroniarca/Naikaku

The Coroniarca or the Naikaku is the Combined bicameral Legislative branch of Miotia-Candor. Composed of the lower house, the House of Representatives, and an upper house, the House of Councillors. It is the sole law-making organ of the Pupatorian twin states. The houses are both elected under a parallel voting system. Members of both houses must be of Miotia-Candorian permanent resident and the nationality of the United Kingdom States. Those aged 18 years and older may vote.

Combined House of Representatives
The Combined House of Representatives is traditionally equally split between the Miotian and Candorian Sec. However, with the rise of crossing political parties, and coalitions, the split had become meaningless. The Lower House of one kingdom consists of 233(466) members, 144(288) members in single-seat constituencies, and 89(178) members by proportional representation.
Members are elected once every 4 years for a 4-year term. One candidate is voted from the local electoral district, and one candidate is proportional representation. Those aged 23 years or older may run for office.
The House of Representatives is able to override vetoes on bills imposed by the House of Councillors with a ⅔ majority. However, it can be dissolved by the Grand Chancellor at will.

Combined House of Councillors
The Combined House of Councilors of one kingdom consists of 124(248) members, and 73(146) are elected from local prefectures. 102 by proportional representation, by a single kingdom-wide constituency with open lists. The Upper House is elected every 3 years. Those aged 28 years or older may run for office.
The House of Councillors cannot be dissolved by the Grand Chancellor. It can veto a decision made by the Lower House.

Judicial: Dekastyria/Jihoujimu
The very small Combined Judicial Branch of Miotia-Candor consists of the Supreme Court, High Courts, District Courts, and the Athena System. The Court is independent of both the Legislative and Executive branches. Court judges are removable by public impeachment and when they are declared mentally or physically incompetent. A Supreme Court judge may be dismissed by a majority in a referendum. All trials must be conducted with judgment declared publicly unless the court determines publicity to be dangerous to public order, such as widespread stress contamination.

Supreme Court
Court of last resort, responsible for nominating judges to lower courts. It also oversees the judicial systems.

Athena System
The social-stress-credit-crime-prevention system(精神衛生信用防犯制度) collects data from scanners installed all across the nation to collect health information on civilians' stress levels by measuring dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol levels from street scanners and Aragami units. While it's classified how the measurements are done, if one's stress level is over 100, which is rare, it is recommended for them to see a doctor. This is an acceptable reason to be away from work, no institution nor company can object to the law. If one's stress level were to rise higher than 200, they're required to show up to the warrant hospital to receive treatment, they can work no longer than 4 hours a day. If one's stress level were to rise above 300, they're to be moved to treatment facilities until it lowers. They will receive a pension from the state during treatment. Soldiers and Enforcers of the police, are not excluded from this system during their service. The Aragami is introduced for unmanned arrest and execution if necessary. This is also the reason why the United Kingdom had such an unpopular land force, due to the fact their levels would be tainted easily. With the installation of the Athena system, trials had mostly faded away. Some may even consider the human court to be tax thieves.

Assets & Military



The United Kingdom States' doctrine is one that is designed to fight Jezabelstien and the Commonwealth in a defensive war. Heavily focused on gaining air and orbital superiority to counter ICBM and superweapons such as Irene's Light. Close combat by human forces is not preferred due to the fact the enemies have way more personnel compared to the United Kingdom States. Unmanned machines and cloud-synced androids are sent out to fight at close ranges. To counter Oracle Core technologies of Jezabelstien, a lot of equipment in the United Kingdom is initially painted in a special white paint. It is a classified chemical that reduces heat absorption by energy weapons.

With the Mashiro Administration, the United Kingdom has built good relations with many socialist nations, despite being a capitalist. The United Kingdom is often seen as a threat by other capitalist nations.
Due to Mendenwall, Commonwealth, and Jezabelstien threats, the United Kingdom States has a very high budget for the military, to the point some may consider unnatural. The United Kingdom States has abandoned conscription since the fall of Jezabelstien in 2021. There are many incentive programs to keep the United Royal Forces supplied with personnel to protect the nation and its allies. Minimal secondary education is required in the military training program to become an officer. The age to be recruited into the military has been changed from 10 to 16 following democratization. These officers would be referred to as student officers in the Self-Defense Forces. They are required to obtain higher education during their military career to be promoted or be transferred to other branches of the military.
As of 2022 Jan, the United Royal Forces have about 367,000 active personnel, 360,000 active Nephilims, and 950,000 in reserve.

Due to the development of a free-will logic emulation system, Nephilim-Class Aragmi, and other UAVs, the United Kingdom doesn't require large active personnel to deal massive damage to their enemies. However, whether this is humane is still being debated.
Due to the massive population decrease, the United Royal Forces turned to electronic warfare and unmanned war machines during the Serpenteum War. Producing an entirely new variant of war machines is difficult given that the automatic production line has already been set in place.

Economy

The slowly growing United Kingdom economy is classified as mixed or referred to as "Catpitalism", or selective state capitalism. It's similar to a fascist economy sometimes. Enterprise and Corporation with 40-50% government ownership, managed and oversaw by the Ministry of Health and Welfare's ATHENA resources distribution system. With heavy spending on drone manufacturing due to a continuous decrease in population in late 2021. In this left-leaning economy, competition is still greatly encouraged by the government.
Education and Transports are free for all. Although partially and fully private Universities and Colleges still exist, they are required to integrate the National Vocational Exam into their system.
The United Kingdom's public debt is 210% of its GDP. (5.955 Quadrillion Rias) It's mostly owed to the Miotia-Candorian population in the form of government bonds. 52% of this debt is held by the Bank of Pupatory. The Miotia-Candorian government owes every citizen 40.237 million Rias. The twin kingdoms are slowly climbing out of this debt due to the current peace, commercial use of orbital, and outer system infrastructures, and increased academic tourism in newly discovered Chaodian ruins under the surface.

The exam is created to find the best job suited for the individual, based on one's ability, mental health reaction, and 'calculated hobby'. A job change can be easily applied via either mail or a smartphone app. This information will be kept a secret between the individual and the system. This information will be private until an individual reaches 350 on their stress level.
With the assistance of the ATHENA system, balancing between individual ability and hobby when assigning them to a job is very important, this will determine their stress threshold. Under the ATHENA system, happiness is mandatory after all.
The National Vocational Exam is no longer required for a job after September 2020 and the event s after Season 2.

Agriculture
The United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor was and is a nation lacking in suitable land for agriculture. Pupatorian Aqueducts and ancient artificial agriculture structures could be found all across the countryside. From the former deserts of Hinomoto to the dense forest regions of western Miotia-Candor, there aren’t many places suitable for farming. The giant wheat plain in Omikanye is the largest agricultural sector in the region. The questionable militarist advancement of genetic engineering in the late 20th century contributed greatly to the agriculture sector to this day.
One single type of Hyper-Crops had ever been created, the Hyper-Wheat. Its prototype was first used by the previous fascist regime to gain food sufficiency, this technology was later perfected by the Fushimi Agritech Foundation.
Following the 9.1 earthquakes that destroyed much of the Pupatorian region’s terrain, adding to contamination by Miraculum plantation on the east. The Fushimi Agritech Foundation was commissioned to restore and replace the agricultural sector with an automated Hyper-Wheat farm. Due to it being genetically engineered and is, it has very little genetic diversity. Therefore it is vulnerable to new strains of diseases and pests. Yotsubishi Tanabe Pharma and Fushimi Argritech worked together to create the Inari-no-Shiki Defense virus. The virus is controlled by an automated system, targeting existing and new destructive forces that could destroy the entire crop.

Unqiue Technologies

Aviation Structural Engineering
The United Kingdom has been known for its colossal flying wonders in the modern age. Due to intense bio weaponry, and medical research of the past, the aircraft of the United Kingdom are structurally creature-looking compared to other nations. Their designs are often inspired by mythical bird-like creatures. Morphing wings have been having in use in a lot of United Kingdom aircraft. Because of this, Titanium Aluminide Alloy Reinforced by Carbon Fibers Coated with Graphene, and Graphene Nanoflakes Reinforced Aluminum Alloy is commonly manufactured for the aircraft. Aluminum oxynitride is also manufactured as a bulletproof windshield.

Decagrammatonian Ceramic(Lost Technology)
A type of lost architectural material that was used in the construction of the Edokyuuria Arcology's skeleton, which is the only thing that remains of the former form of the Arcology. This material allowed the structure to survive and resist extreme heat and pressure generated by nuclear reactions. However, the original secret formula of the Decagrammatonian Ceramic and cutting methods was lost during the civil war. There have been attempts made by the Yotsubishi Heavy Industry to recreate a similar material, though there has been no success in recreating the original material.

Decagrammatonian Composite
Modern synthetic material containing TaCx in an attempt to recreate the original Decagrammatonian Ceramic. It has strength, durability, and weight is about 1/12 of the original Decagrammatonian Ceramic. The project was launched along with Project Primordial Tiamat. It is a type of ceramic infused with carbon nanotubes, the hull of Tiamat, Midonia-Class, and reconstruction of certain parts of Edokyuuria is constructed with this material.

Isotope 177Lu Battery
A Nuclear Isomers battery technology that is currently treated as top-secret and is used in military and space programs, it is the backbone of Anti-Celestial-Railgun-Systems(ACRS), and other major aerospace projects within the United Kingdom. The technology was originally intended for commercial use by Yotsubishi, however, it was not accepted in the commercial market, mostly due to the lack of education regarding the safety of the battery. This technology is also in use on the Primordial Tiamat, they have been using them for their space probes.

Self-assembled Semiconductors
As the demand for automation continues to increase, a replacement for silicon in semiconductors has been introduced.
Single-wall carbon nanotubes wires are assembled after the CNTs powders are being placed into the high gradient (TEP) forcefield created by the Tesla coil's antenna. Many of the United Kingdom's drones rely on this technology

KivotOS
A Converged Multi-level Secure Operating system that runs on Pupatorian based computer language. Every executable domain within the local system is encrypted and isolated in individual virtual machines. Isolation can be managed by simply dragging the programs into VM known as "Arks" in the interface. KivotOS only supports 64-bit processors due to them providing more protections compared to 32-bit. There is also an experimental version that supports 128-bit processors for research use. While it is known for its clean sky blue interface, it might be a little overwhelming to use for first-timers. It is also widely used in Minervaindexca.

Religion and Culture

State Pupatheorism policy has little effect other than being the national religion on paper. It is a religion headed by the Pupatorian Catherdrasilicom in Puppare. In Candorian language, the deities are referred to as gods, in Miotia Pupatorian, the deities are referred to as Betrayers of Heaven, or simply Fallen Angels. The Candorian language was a mixture of Kjanuan and Pupatorian, resulting in translation issues on text. Despite mistranslations, the main deity they worship is known as the Goddess Conficturia or Fallen Angel Decfur. It has been confirmed by scholars they are the same figure of both translations. This deity is known for their compassion toward humans and leading the other thirteen of her kind rebelling against a higher power to give mankind the "Fire of free will".
"If I were to order you to be free. What does freedom mean to you?" -Decfur, Haloed Memoria(Holy text of Pupatheorism)

In Candor, the Imperatrix is believed to be a descendant of Adam and Conficturia after she has developed mortal feelings prior to her rebellion. The Miotian version was very humanist in comparison to Candor's. The Miotian Pupatheorist believed in the power of man, they would also worship and pay respect to the fallen angels who gave them free will. After the declaration of humanity by the Candorian Imperatrix when the United Kingdom was formed, a unified Pupatheorist church was founded. The Pupatorian Catherdrasilicom.

Due to the views of Pupatheorism, the development of AI, the concept of free will, philosophy differs from many other modern nations. Puatorian Catherdrasilicom established the Trinity of Free will, a concept map of humanity. Instinct, Morals, Data are the three ingredients of a soul or a human character. Nephilim-Class Aragami sentry of the United Kingdom is the embodiment of the trinity. Image after the Fallen Angels just as how they image humanity after them. Rather than strong AI, they were installed with AHI, Artificial human intelligence. Developed by Simon Mendelson, a weak machine learning and decision-making program that emulate human irrationality from morals binary input and experience of data.

Despite knowing for Anime and Manga worldwide, Miotia-Candorian pop culture contains a lot of themes of existential crisis and topics on defining humanity. Miotia-Candorian greatly values individuality over collectivity. They don't believe an individual should sacrifice one's dreams, nature, and what one were to born to do to be a gear part of collective progress. This makes Miotia-Candor dislike communist nations naturally.
Miotia-Candor doesn't shy away from science advancements. However, there are many times when Miotia-Candor rejects the use of certain techniques that may endanger mankind(PGRI Experiments) or human individuality(G.A.I.A. Hive).

Infrastructure

While surface transportation is already complicated enough, the recently opened underground highway through the ruins is even more mind-wrecking.

Energy
The United Kingdom is heavily nuclear-powered due to national automation.

Foreign Affiars
The United Kingdom States is a member of the World Union and the unofficial defense alliance of Royal Interdependent Allied States
