"Why? Why are you here!?"

???:"That doesn't matter right now, what matters is that you owe me."

He then punched me square in the face, I fall to the floor with a thud. I try to stand back up but the pain only allows me to kneel.

(Trumpets in the distance)

Soldier:"Run! It's the Gallian Royal army!"

All of the soldiers start panicking, especially since their leader was now dead.

???:"I was told to help you lot but I won't help germans, especially cause you killed us."

"I thought you were dead!"

At this point, Everyone in the Jäger was running towards us.

Lucas:"What the hell is a communist doing here."

???:"I could ask you the same thing fascist."

Lucas:"Ok that's it."

Lucas punched him on the side of the face, then the IS crew started to climb out and run towards us.

???2:" Now you've done it fascist."

It turned into a small brawl between us 8, Marco was staying at the back and their driver was trying to get out through the small hatch.

???3:" Stop! Stop fighting you two!"

I froze, I knew that voice, but why was it here? I turned to look at their driver, I feel the strength leave my legs and fall to the floor.

???:"Nikolai! Get back inside!

Nikolai:"No! I'm not gonna just watch while my friends are fighting with each other!"

We all stopped what we were doing, we looked at Nikolai.

Peter:"Nicholas? But how?"

???:"Thats what you filthy Germans call him? That aside, why do you know this filth Nikolai?"

Nikolai:" Thats because they are my friends."

Arran:"why are you here? I thought you were back in Germany."

Nikolai:" I was, but my family felt unsafe being there. So we sneaked into the Soviet Union where my dad's side of the family is, I stayed with them a couple of days before I got conscripted and sent to the German-Soviet front."

Peter:"Wait, So you were the driver right?"

Nikolai:"Yeah, pretty tough job I must say."

Peter:"Oh my... I'm sorry, I didn't know."

Peter dropped to his knees and started sobbing.

Nikolai:" Oh you mean when we were fighting? That's ok, you didn't know. I didn't feel anything."

Peter started crying harder while Nikolai was trying to comfort him.

???:"Nikolai! Stop mingling with the filth, you're gonna catch something ."

Nikolai:" could we stop fighting? How about you tell them your names."

???:"I refuse to let those fascists know my name."

Nikolai:" No Vodka for a week."

???:"!, fine, Molotov. That's my last name, that's as far I'm willing to go."

Nikolai:" Thats better, next."

???2:"Dimitri, not pleased to meet you."

???3:"Ivan, radio operator."

???4:"Aleksei, loader."

We did our introductions, Nikolai was keeping everything under control making sure no one did anything rude. We then saw what appeared was the Gallian army starting chasing away the Valkarians, then some guy that looked of authority was approaching us with Wilhelm next to him.

Wilhelm:" This is them, the ones that saved this town."

????:"is that so? Greetings, I am Vincent, the first prince of the Gallian Federation."

"You're the next in line for the throne after the current king?"

Vincent:"Yes, I am deeply thankful for your role in defending this town. So, I will prepare a celebration banquet for your men and for this victory."

"I thank you for for your hospitality, but the thing is that there were a lot of deaths that could had been prevented."

Vincent:" I understand your thoughtfulness, but this thing are common when things like this happen, I too think to myself about the past and how I could had changed it. "

Wilhelm:" So, who are this other 5? Last time  you said it only 4 other more, or am I forgetting something?"

Molotov:" We have no busi-"

"They're with us, it's just they weren't here until now."

Both parties looked at me in confusion and disbelief.

Vincent:" Well, the banquet will be tomorrow night. It would be odd if we were to do it now, because there are some 'things' that need to be cleaned."

Wilhelm:" We would appreciate if you could help with that, especially 'particular' spots."

Molotov:"We are used to seeing those kinds of things."

"Anyways how about we get started already, Marco, get the Jäger to city. Molotov, tell your men to do the same."

Molotov:"I don't take orders from a German."

Nikolai:"Sir, please just do it. It can't hurt."

Molotov:"god damn it fine, Dimitri, get the Moskva and follow the Germans."

Dimitri:"aye sir."

We spent a while cleaning up all the debris and thing similar to it, we used the tanks to do heavy lifting and work like it. We were all exhausted, then it came time for the celebration. We started to get ready , making sure to be clean and so on.

Peter:"(Hold still)."German

"(Ow, are you sure you know what you're doing?)"

Peter:"(I'm the son of a doctor, who do you take me for?)"

"(You don't look like a doctor.)"

Peter:"(Man, that guy left you in shambles. Multiple bruises, lacerations and cuts. Even a black eye.)"

"(Yeah, I was not ready. If I had my Luger it would had been much different.)"

Peter:"(ok, this is gonna hurt a little so make sure you don't scream.)"

"(Why would iAHHHHHH.)"

Peter:"(I warned you, let me close everything up. So how is this celebration going to be?)"

"(I don't have the slightest clue, all I know is that it's city wide thing but we are going to be in the town hall.)"

Peter:"(sounds like fun, anyways, I am done here. Here's your cap, Marco picked it for you.)"

"(Ah, danke.)"

Peter:"(So how's Emilia?)"

"(I haven't seen her since we dropped her off at the garrison yesterday.)"

Peter:"(hmm. You know, you stare a little too much.)"

"(The hell you talking about?)"

Peter:"(it's so obvious that you're looking at her, I wouldn't be surprised if she knew too.)"

"(I don't!)"

Lucas:"(guys you ready? Whoa, that's some nasty stuff that guy did to you.)"

Peter:"(I know, I don't know how he didn't kill him.)"

"(Anyways, what do you want Lucas?)"

Lucas:"(the thing is about to start in 30 minutes, I came here to see if you were ready.)"

"(Yeah will be there in a while, now go.)"

Lucas:"(oh yeah, by the way Emilia is looking for you.)"

"(Really?)"

Lucas:(No. it was a trap, and you fell in it.)"

Peter:"(Nice.)"

"(Just go already!)"

After that little incident, we finished getting ready for the celebration. We we arrived, the Moskva crew were waiting at the entrance.

Molotov:"Took you long enough, we would had been in there a long time ago but Nikolai said to wait for you all."

We went in together and we came in the place was full of life, it was very loud too.

"It's.... quite lively is it?"

Nikolai: it indeed is, let's go in, after all we had a very long day and all need a break do we not?

We walked in and soon all attention goes towards us, people stoped doing what they were doing and looked at us.

Arran:Well.... this is awkward.

Vincent: Worry not gentlemen, come and take a seat at the table over there. I will have the cooks make a feast for all of you.

We were lead to the table and both crews sat on opposite ends, we were still not on terms with each other and the atmosphere around us was obvious. Well except Marco and Nicholas which were already talking about books and other things as before the war.

"So, what did you all do before... you know."

Molotov:What does it concern you?

"Ok I know that you don't like me and that is fine but we are not in Europe."

Molotov: Do you think I don't know that?

Arran:Can we stop fighting and tell us how you got here?

Ivan: Same as you, we met him.

Peter: The thing is there is a huge time gap between our deaths, what did he say about that?

Dimitri:He didn't mention anything about you at all, hell we didn't even know you were here.

Aleksei: We woke up in that place called the gap and so on, after he introduced himself he said that a group like us was sent in before us and that they would need all help they can get.

Molotov: I was against the idea to begin with and now I'm even more against it.

"Thanks for emphasizing on your displeasure."

Molotov: I can be even more open about it if you want me to.

Before I could reply I get a slight tap on my shoulder, I look at who it is and it's Emilia.

Emilia:Hey Finn.

"Hello, what is it?"

Emilia:I need help with some things and I was wondering if you could help me.

"Sure."

Emilia: Follow me.

I stand up and follow her to whatever she needs help with

(Third POV)

Molotov: I need to hit the can, I'll be back in a bit.

After walking up to a waitress to ask where was the restroom, he looks into one of the pockets on his jumpsuit as to make sure its contents we still there.

Molotov: Absolutely disgusting pigs, let's see how much she likes you after she sees this.

In his hand was a set of pictures, there wouldn't be nothing wrong with the pictures if it wasn't for what the picture was of. In the pictures were the aftermath of the concentration camps and the people who were placed there against their will. He places the set of pictures in the pocket and starts walking down the same hallway the other two did.

I am so sorry for the delay of this chapter, back in August I got busy with band camp and whatnot and then school started and is still a hindrance. Thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed. Se you next chapter
