("Crimson" Bell POV)

(Somewhere near Northern Africa and Mediterranean, Liberated Zone, Joint Coalition Force FOB, Honkai Earth, 20:20- Night)

   After another exhausting fight the Honkais beasts and zombies, we the 2nd Expedition Corp of SFR. Indochina lead by our Divisional General Lam with our ally Coalition Force the 1st Expedition Division under Lieutenant Colonel Richard Mitchell have successfully launch an offensive against the much larger Honkai infestation areas. A Dead Man Zone that they hold it for week. The reason we risk it? Because it had an important strategy area that we need it. But.....in the end?

   We liberate the Abandoned Naval Port from enemy Honkais in the coastal area near beach shoreline. Even more good new, the reinforcements with supplies & resources just arrive after we completely setting up the deployed Portal Machine that connecting to our original world. After that, both side high-ranked officers Colonel Richard and Divisional General Lam decided to take control the Naval Port and set up a temporarily larger FOB with airstrips, docking ship area, drop supplied zones, barracks, food hall and place for commanders for future military operations.

   And now? We rest at night and eating food along side with our comrades from Coalition Force as I have conversations with the "Italian" although they asking me some...weird question? Just because my name is related to another game character have same name "Bell" in call of duty?

Stiles (drunk): So...let's me guess this straight *hic*....you name is Bell right?

Bell: *Nod* Hm hmph, that's would be me

Stiles (drunk): You're an intelligence officer serving in the rank of Indochina People's Armed Forces with Divisional General Lam?

Bell: Yes, that's *Munching* correct

Aiello: You also have two or third nationalities like Russo-American but Indochinese?

Bell: Well yeah, that is what my paper and passport said

Coalition Soldier 1: You said that you don't have any clear collection about your past memory but obtaining some half of them?

Bell: Uhhh....yeah? That what I said before...

Stiles (drunk): See? *Hic* What's you guys expected he is BRAINWASHED! WHAT THE FUCK DOES GENERAL LAM DID TO YOU MY GUY? *hic*

Perez: Quit it you guys, you gonna make him scare shitless now....

Bell: Uhhh...Stiles that not what you thin-

Coalition Soldier 2: Man I tell you, Stiles so damn drunk that he imagines some weird ass of fucking theory about a video FPS game like COD: Cold War to a fucking reality guys! like a RETARDED!

All Coalition soldiers: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

All everyone in dining hall: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Stiles (drunk): What? That's fucking true! Bell here he is a-

Aiello: Hey Stiles, you got something on ya mouth

Stiles: What the fuck *hic* you mea-

Aiello then forcefully grab another glass of beer and chug it down to Stiles. He then somewhat hilariously chugging the whole beer and the two later drinking more. But then...they start to fight

Bell: Uh...Are they alway like this?

Perez: Sometime, only when we achieve victory just like previous battle you guys just help us gained it

Bell: Aren't you gonna stop them now Perez?

Perez: Let's them be Bell, we haven't got much fun since....

Bell: I know but beside we still got a war to fight tomorrow

Perez: Don't think much about it, anyway Bell I forgot to tell you something

Bell: What it is?

Perez: Divisional General Lam want to see you at his tent he want to speak few words to you in person. Colonel Richard just notified me an half minutes ago.

Bell: Thank man, I take my leave then. See you around Perez

Perez: You too Bell

   After the conversation and some bit of drunky time with the boys from Coalition, I left the mess hall and head to outside. On outside our soldiers is patrolling, some are talking, some are taking care their equips & weapons and some are sleeping. The night out there was quiet but there still some cicada singing in bushes...atleast it help us feel ease & comfort a bit somehow. Anyway, I already arrive outside the commander tent as I ready to walk in I saw Colonel Richard got out the tent I see Colonel and begin saluting him.

Bell (Salute): Colonel Richard sir

Colonel Richard (Salute and nod): Bell

   We end the salute and parted away, I continue my walk to commander tent as I meet some of our fellow soldiers who guarding outside the tent

2nd Corp SFRI Marine 1: Hey comrade, how the dinner?

Bell: Oh it fine but one of the Coalition soldier being drunk and hype up. They having fun like "Saturday night" fight in there

2nd Corp SRFI Marine 2: Damn, don't tell me they drink all the beer we just bring here

2nd Corp SFRI Marine 1: Wait.....THEY DRINK ALL OUR BEER?! Comrade Bell is this true?

Bell: Yeeaahhh....they all drink it....along with some our comrades joint them too

2nd Corp SFRI Marine 1: GOD DAMN IT! I haven't even drink any single of it!

Bell: Calm down, let's them drink it beside they haven't had much fun before this shit hit them hard

2nd Corp SFRI Marine 1: Yeah, I understand...but when we win this war THEY BETTER FUCKING LET'S US DRINK SOME BEER TOO!

Bell: Ha! Ya bet! Anyway....Divisional General Lam just call me to speak some few words, if he here?

2nd Corp SFRI Marine 2: Yes, he inside waiting for you, just get in comrade

Bell: Thank you two, I see you guys later

2nd Corp SFRI Marine 1: Yeah. see you later too comrade

2nd Corp SFRI Marine 2: See ya, Bell

   They open the entrance for me to get inside the Commander Tent, I walk inside seeing that our staff are working with paperwork and computer to keep in line communicating with other units even our HQ back to our original world.

I then head to the Divisional General Office, when I get there I saw him working  but he seem tired and bit of stress.....

Divisional General Lam (On phoned): Yes Mr. President......I know it urgent but what seem to be problem?.........what?.....General Kevin Lee?.......then what does General Kevin message said?........but Mr. President we still have to help the Coalition to win this war.......I know I know.....I'll split it. I will send about 132 combat Marines, 48 intel personnels, two Special Ops squads of 200 mens and my friend Bell will lead them...how about it?

.............

Divisional General Lam (On phoned): Great! Glad you agree Mr. President.....don't worry, we still got handful thousand soldiers coming from my two Division units......I know...I be careful and responsible of my units lives as well the others......thank you Mr. President.....I will send 201 of my soldiers to one of my friend military facility at Zulu X-ray Compound, Solaris Federation.....have a good night Mr. President.

*PHONE: OFF*

Divisional General Lam: *Long sighed*

   He look stressful, seem like the President give him some tasks and he have to arrange it. To be honest, this alway happen to him he has to fight with his rifle along side with his units but sometime the higher-ups give him a paperwork although he give Mr. President and Ministry of Defence a exceptional but fucking hell....sometime, higher ups give him a load of paperwork through the seal of acceptance from the President and Ministry of Defence. Frankly he hate this, he once told me he almost burn the entire paperworks by using a fucking Soviet flamethrower.....gladly I and Bao stop him before he demoted as punishment. Anyway let's get this done maybe I might help him to ease off his load of heavyweight of work.

*Gently knocking*

Divisional General Lam: Just get in! Don't be so formal there ain't no door there!

Bell: Hey boss

Divisional General Lam: Hey Bell, sorry for bothering ya a bit

Bell: It's alright boss I hear Colonel Richard and Perez said you want to meet me for something....so Mr. President if he....

Divisional General Lam: Yes, you've heard it he just giving me a called about....another operation

Bell: Another operation to do? In this Honkai Earth?

Divisional General Lam: No, Mr. President want me to send some our brothers & sisters about 201 soldiers to.....another world elsewhere

Bell: Multiverse? Does Mr. President made a special request to you boss?

Divisional General Lam: Yeah, he made a personal request for me and it very urgent he said.....

Bell: Just like the letter from UEC sir Wilson send you previous week ago?

Divisional General Lam: Yeah, but it much more complex and this task is very concern about it. So I asking you to lead a military company consist of 200 mens and you Bell you will take lead of 'em.

Bell: Well, anything can help you I take it....but what the deal? I heard you and President really.... concerning about something?

Divisional General Lam: *Stressful sigh*

Divisional General Lam: Bell...sit down there. I will explain the situation

   Seeing Lam was really serious about it, I give him a response nodding then walk to his office table and I sit in a chair facing him.

Bell: Well?

Divisional General Lam: I tell you this....remember this is just some personal conversation you and I only know. Due to it President personal order and even it classified by the USSF, it's a fucking black ops-type the one you don't bring it to the public got it?

Bell: *Nod*

Divisional General Lam: Alright, let's me start this.....

He then take a folder with big red word that type "CLASSIFIED" from the drawer, he hang over to me and I look at it

Divisional General Lam: The file you hold there is a new task you will assign it, I gonna briefly you about the mission and the objective of this important mission....you ready?

Bell: *Nod* Yes

Divisional General Lam: Good. Now open the file after that I will briefly you some informations

I then open the file folder and take a white paper that have a red seal and eagle with one golden star symbol from Indochina Federal Intelligence Bureau with another second seal of USSF Government. It was a full written letter but in Hologram by....General Kevin Lee?

Divisional General Lam: First about the situation.....about couple day ago we receive a really concern message in an letter sent by our ally from General Kevin Lee of USSF to our President during our national 8th Federal Assembly. The message warn us about a much more potential threat of USSF and our world Government security......

Bell: Boss what you mean is there much more something concern than those Honkai scumbags we facing here?

Divisional General Lam: You heard it, the info you hold here? Said that our friend the Solaris Federal Government is facing a very concerned of secretly coup d'etat. They're in grave danger of being possibly overthrowing and may turn into a civil war by a third faction from inside.

Bell: Holy...shit.

Divisional General Lam: Yeah, that's the fucking problem we both facing.....

Bell: But...why keep in classified? I mean the Coalition or public at least need to know it?

Divisional General Lam: Can't do Bell. If the whole bloody publics or even Coalition soldiers outside know about it? Shit it will be a fucking mess, due to fat chance some bastards will side with those who start the coup, they even spreading false rumor like some Xi-fucking-Jinping propaganda on Beijing street during Third World War....

Bell: Oh fuck....so that's why they requesting us to have a emergency Joint Intel Operation help them against any conspirators and coup instigators?

Divisional General Lam: Yeah, more like another black ops mission. The IFIB and our Government has assign you with some special units involved in this operation....

Bell: And we gonna help them found those support the coup and third-party faction? That gonna be a helluva of purging

Divisional General Lam: Not that kind of politically purging Bell, even though the target they mention is the Humanity's Old Guard. We just simply find the evidence, hunting their members and stop them start the coup....but if we don't? Not the civil war spread to Solaris Federation it may turn to another potential conflict in our world too due to some our enemy align with the coup

Bell: But...why they want to conspiracy against the Solaris Federation? I-I don't understand what does Jacques Administration do something can go wrong?

Divisional General Lam: Let's just said it complicated. First it not the fault of Jacques Admin Government failed to satisfy the prosperity of their people. I remember my friend Ezra told me the start of all this was the "tension" between the two opposite party. Bell you remember the Delhi-Mumbai Massacre post-War of Terra?

Bell: I do heard about that boss. The Vanguard of RSH responsible for Delhi-Mumbai Massacre against Terran Protectorate just because they want to have peace deal with the previous Invaders. Eventually they killed the faction leader Suraj Bannerjee and persecute those who jointed. No wonder there some members of ex-Terran Protectorate flee exile in our world. It was a completely mess up an unwanted tragedy.......

Divisional General Lam: And now they turn themself into a xenophobic factions with the name Humanity's Old Guard that got support from our two most wanted enemies we speaking....the Rouge Cell and the 467th.......just because they realize it mistake the Solaris Federation allow all multiverse and extraterrestrial sentinent beings to live among their society....

Bell: It's that's why this is a threat they facing? Being near to a possibly coup orchestra by the Humanity's Old Guard Party?

Divisional General Lam: That's also the issue we facing Bell....not just the USSF...our world also face a potential threat from the Multiverse. Not just Rouge Cell or the 467th, the bounty hunters and some hostile alternative Earth want a full fucking all-invasion.

Bell: Woah.....

Divisional General Lam: And that's the reason why we signed many cooperation treaties with the Solaris Federation and other multiverse allies just to watch each other ass....anyway Bell you still have any question? Or you want to skip it ready for another task?

Bell: Boss I still got one question I may want to ask

Divisional General Lam: Go ahead Bell, this Operation is important so you need to access lot of intel informations before we send you guys to USSF in midnight

Bell: I want to know what happen to the Terran Protectorate and why they want from just a peaceful pacifist then change to Humanity's Old Guard bunch of isolationist and xenophile? I thought they want to have peace with other extraterrestrial sentient being?

Divisional General Lam: *Sight* From what I heard, after their leader Kiran and Suraj was all passed away. They start to change their way from being pacifist to xenophile even worst they start to have a split in their faction and Solaris Government...

Bell: You think the Post-Terra War and RSH Massacre make them like this?

Divisional General Lam: Possibly, I heard it was due to disagreement of Suraj leaderships since his father been possessed by one of Invader Influence into his mind.....and the rest is seeing Terran Protectorate slowly disfunction. I still don't know why they change into xenophile faction or how they got support by our wanted enemies.

Bell: Damn, that's a long way to downfall for them.....but boss what about their branch in our world?

Divisional General Lam: If you mention their branches in our world? UEC President Wilson and some our World Leaders confirmed to Ms. President Jacqueline that the old traditional Terran Protectorate-Indochina Branch, North America Union Branch, Northeast Asia Branch are not the big threat since they already breakaway and no longer connected to the Humanity's Old Guard

Bell: Woah, so the old Terran Protectorate back in our world....they still stick with the old traditional path? To keep the old spirit?

Divisional General Lam: Sum it up you said, they want to keeping the spirit of their deceased leaders still going and to spread the ideal of peaceful coexistence with other sentient beings which make their ideology like Buddha or Jesus. No wonder we allow them to operate their party or enter our legislation serve as diplomatic staffs....and that good thing since we only just against the Humanity's Old Guard

Bell: *Nod* I seem to understand the situation....

Divisional General Lam: Good, after this at midnight around 23:00 PM, Bell you take the lead of two (Special Operation Intelligence Recon) SOIR units of the new Joint Task Force C-29

Bell: Yes sir

Divisional General Lam: And there's a transportation trucks back from our world, they will pick you guys up then drive to the portal for about one hour until reach to our facility Zulu X-ray Compound. You guys could rest a little before one of Solaris Intel Officer briefing to your new tasks next morning

Bell: Got it boss

Divisional General Lam: Good and sorry for bothering ya a bit in this night, you can go to your tent for rest before this mission started...Do you got any question you wanna ask?

Bell: Not at all boss, just said a word and I will finish it

Divisional General Lam: Alright Bell, after your done resting you come back to my tent for your equipments for this Task. You can't dismissed now

Bell: *Stand up and Salute* Boss

Divisional General Lam: *Stand up and Salute back* Bell

   After the the short saluting, I turn back, begin to walk for exit and look at the clock on the nearby desk said: "20:50 PM". I realized it still soon also I don't feel tired nor want to went for sleep yet.....well I maybe can check my weaponries' but it all done. How about talk to Stiles, Perez and Aiello? They probably sleep already for tomorrow operation. I still don't know what to do or I can have conversation with other Coalition officers? Naaah they busy about planning strategy operation tomorrow. Then, unless maybe I.....

Divisional General Lam: Bell what's the matter? You seem dozing off. Something wrong?

Bell: Nothing boss.....I just think what to do next since I'm not feel want to sleep nor tired

Divisional General Lam: I see....then care to sit down and have a drink with me?

Bell: Gladly boss

   I walk over to the desk office and sit in the armchair again. Lam then pass me an empty cup of glasses after that he start to pour one of his favor drink.....that is Vodka by the way......from his old favorite green color camouflage flask to my cup then later his cup to

We hold our drink as we begin raise it to cheers for good health and for comradeship.

Divisional General Lam: To life, to the fallens, to all comrades and to good health

Bell: To life, to the fallens, to all comrades and to good health....cheer boss

Divisional General Lam: Cheer

*CLINK*

   I take a a bit of long sip of my cup....the sudden taste of vodka make me come to surprise how strong it is. I then eventually chugging down of all it despite the strong essence...and I hold my cup putting down on the desk.

Divisional General Lam: *Done taking a sip* Woooo....the tase of vodka from old branch of still the same. like the day me and my Pop decided to drink it when I was 17......

Bell: Heh, that's the reason why they mocked you for being call Humping Commissar? Heck the favorite bar you want went give you a name....Southern Vietnamese Drunkard

Divisional General Lam: Well, they were right about that aight? Anyway you want another shot?

Bell: No thank boss, I'm just here for to kill the time...due to how boring it is

Divisional General Lam: No just only you Bell, I was hardly take a single sleep here.....well since you in the same status you can stay here for drink or conversation before mission I wouldn't mind

Bell: Thank boss, Can I have a moment of conversation with....you?

Divisional General Lam: Sure why not, I just had finished those paperworks a hour ago before Mr. President called me...

Bell: Thank boss, so what would you to like to talk about?

Divisional General Lam: For the start? I don't know what to talking about today despite we busy keeping those damn Honkais and yandere at bay....how about you Bell?

Bell: Well, I want to ask something....but it kinda privacy.....

Divisional General Lam: Bell it's aright you got my permission, so just ask what you want

Bell: If you said so boss....I was curious that how did you end up in this war in first place and being Commander anyway? What is your story boss?

Divisional General Lam:.......

Bell:..............

Bell: Uhm......boss?

Bell (Thought): Oh fuck, I shouldn't had asked that questions that pissed him off........

(Narrator POV)

   As the Divisional General Lam quiet about Bell questions, Bell was still worry that did he make any mistake to make him pissing off so much that he stay quiet. While Lam on other hand, he was having a flashback of his life before becoming high-rank combat field officer. After that whole remembering flashback and some memories, he sigh a long one and look at his nervous comrade.

Divisional General Lam: *Long sighed* Bell what you said is....complicated and long one. If you want to know then alright I tell ya.

   Bell signed in relief. Now before Lam tell his story, he grab his flask again. He take a long drinking chunk of his flask he done drinking as he lay the bottle down and look at Bell in a bit of serious then he tell his comrade his history.

Divisional General Lam: I remember I once tell you about the Terra war....remember our first and last mission?

Bell: Eurasia - Northern America Campaign, Operation Olympus Mons, Operation Falling Elitist, Operation Doomsday, Operation Shadow Citadel to Operation Leviathan....I remember it boss. This is where I met you during the Terra War

Divisional General Lam: Exactly, before all for this I was assigned in different role before.....taken commander for this units

Bell: ?....You even never tell me about how you involved in that multiverse war before?

Divisional General Lam: I was plan to tell you some day but since it involve on this operation you assigned and how you curious about the origin of all this so I tell you now.

   He told me ever since the aftermath of World War Three with The Secret War (2022-2026) and Post-Insurgency of Vrill-Illuminatri (2026-2029), our world was finally united and peace. Then come into a new society, new Pacts & World Government Organizations, new nation base on Federalism & Nationalism was formed. Finally a world we create from many people dreams & wishes where the solidarity and "world united as one" are no longer of hypothetical theories. But it turns to a reality concept that everyone are accepted and all world leaders adapting it.

Divisional General Lam: After the end of Vrill-Illuminatri Insurgency in 2029, I was assigned as a Drill Sergeant and Commissar in my hometown Southern to train bunch of new batch of newly formed units during the Globally Reconstructed Era. During that time, everyone was busy doing their best all devoted themself and our just for to step into new era of prosperity what we called today....

Bell: the Era of Golden Dragon or know as in the whole world and science book today..."The Early Era of Type 1 Civilization"

Divisional General Lam: Yes and it was worthy for our long work for the future. At that time, I and some others was focus on reconstruction in our new Armed Forces. And oh boy.....who knew being a Drill Sergeant also Commissar? Yelling like shit hit the fan that much?

Bell: *chuckle* I do remember one time boss. You take the whole new battalion on midnight emergency military exercise on thick jungle of Tiền Giang. You even guide them to march to State of Cambodia whole damn night!

Divisional General Lam: That's true thought, no wonder they called me the Southerner Old Hag some even call me the Big Brother of Hell March....anyway, I was in that position for about only 6 month and half year until I was redeployed again

Bell: And that's where we involved into this war from multiverse in first place by orders of World Leaders and UEC after that "incident"...

Divisional General Lam: Correct, I remember General Kala told us that it was the discovery of multi-dimensional cross of Portal Machine...a some sort device that teleport or transport to other different multiverse. Remember I tell you about conspiracy about multiverse, alternative world and Schrodinger Cat Theory?

Bell: I do but it was unbelievable I thought they was just a blurry theory that reject by majority of scientist during 20th Century to 2010s?

Divisional General Lam: That's just a lied by Illuminatri and those fucking Vrill lizards in human skin bastards....they didn't want the whole humanity knew about it or how they lied about the true purpose of Stonehenge is can teleport to another world even random location on earth

Bell: Damn, so that the reason why we execute all member of Deep States? No fucking wonder.....anyway, what happen during that discovery boss I heard we find out about a lot of different variant multi-dimensional cross machine?

Divisional General Lam: Well let's just said...before the end of their insurgency, during last battle of Operation Sinners Graveyard, the Vrill-Illuminatri use that machine as a last resolve to run away from us they want to establish their new base of operation. Unfortunately for them, we raiding their last standing underground facility before they even try it....luckily the machine was inactive so we take it for researching

Bell: And that's where we found out about their machine. Not just the modern day one, I do some research we actually confirmed these machine exist before during first and mid of 20th Century?

Divisional General Lam: Before for all that, Yes in 1980s we discover the first ever build capable multiverse-crossing Portal Machine left by the Soviet in A Sau Valley. it was call the Die Maschine know as Dark Aether, at first when Vietnamese authority and few of our leaderships know about it existence we intend to hide it so much of it information was kept confidential files. But later on present day, the whole public knew about it thank to our Government decided to reveal it and use it.....

   He suddenly take his flask and drinking his Vodka favor in second time again and after that he stop drinking and burp a bit. He then continue his story.....

Divisional General Lam: Despite we may find these machine, but later on with curiosity and question about all impossible theories. We decided to research about it and that.....is where we discovery the horrific shocking truth......the confirmed existence of multiverse and this universe

Bell.........

Divisional General Lam: During the discovery, we find out that we are not alone at all and how we being foolishly all this thousand of year tricked by those fucking liars....the deep state....the NWO.....the Vrills lizards

Bell: What happen during the discovery boss?

Divisional General Lam: You don't want to know.....ANYWAY! During the discovery, we found out lot different alternatives of Earths, multiverses. Each of them has different origins, stories and civilizations, history, even species too, etc.....but then, it all change when we bump into contact to other side of multiverse same like us but largely differently on historical and present-day events

Bell: Wait a second, that's where we-

Divisional General Lam: Start the first contact to the first alternative Earth in different multiverse and that is the Terra we speaking. At first, it was an accident, when that random scientist member of UEC Research Team in our world Geneva. He accidentally spill over his coffee over the coordinate terminal computer one of portal machine then.....

   Bell see his boss face turn into.....a very concerned and bit of annoying face like "what the actual fuck?" just like what his face said.....

Bell: I get it boss. But what happen after that accident?

Divisional General Lam: After that, the machine was activate due to coordinate already setting it open some kind a portal head to unknown other side. The whole UEC Laboratory was all bloody panicked so they send armed heavily armed guards to the scene to protect the site. But when the Project Managers received the new from Observation teams discover unknow surge of....life coming from inside that portal. Again the UEC Main HQ did send emergency clean-up crews across global. Me and some others included was sent.....

Bell: WAIT! Boss you didn't even tell me that you guys was part of clean-up crew during that incident?!

Divisional General Lam: I know....but when we got there at midnight, the Research Site was in half locked down, some staffs and researchers was evacuated except.....us, the site armed guards, UEC Soldiers with few handful of researchers and project manager decided to guard in there. We was tasked to protect them while they tried to close the portal. It was too late, they didn't close it due to the electronic outburst wave we have hard time to figure how to shut it.....

Bell: But what happen if that Portal Machine don't close it? From what I know they release a bit wave of electron outburst resulting in explosion it can only destroy a single warehouse right?

Divisional General Lam: Indeed but...that depend on the variants. The small ones or medium-size Portal Machine can only destroy a tower or a warehouse. Unfortunately, since this is largest-size capable of teleport of mass population of one single country? It can release a big wave electron outburst and worst...it explosion was more five time than the Nuclear, Tsar Bomb or any WMD. While some other version like Die Maschine can leave some much more worse efffect than just explosion....

Bell: H-Holy shit.......

Divisional General Lam: But for the strangely reason, when we tried to stop it? It then release a small wave then suddenly electricity was running back to the site the whole room was normal again. No heavily wind, nor any big wave even that feeling of earthquake shaking coming from that Portal was....all stop. When one of researchers notified us about the Portal Machine situation is in normal we was all relief.

Bell:..........

Divisional General Lam: Until the Project Manager report us something coming out very soon from that Portal, we all taken cover and armed our guns at that fucking whatever coming out from the Portal while the Manager called reinforced. When we locked all the accessible door, we saw something in humanoid figure step out from Portal we took the aims ready to pull triggers. I take the cover very close to that and I see it was......Major Frost!

   He just confused what his boss said and start to question how the heck does Major Frost of the PDFV end up in the UEC Research Site?

Bell: What?....what the?! Boss you telling me Major Frost was there! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE HOW DOES HE EVEN-

Divisional General Lam: SSHHHHH! Quiet will ya?!...I know it kinda shock when you heard it trust me I even shock too see that to. At that time, this is the first time I and Major Frost know each other when he is the one who walk out that Portal. And it turn out, we learn from him that his country in his alternate world even obtain the Portal Machine in his world country capital Hanoi

Bell: To be honest I quite surprisingly about this, no wonder you and Major Frost become a drunk drinking partner.....

Divisional General Lam: Heh ya said it Bell, after he appear on our Portal Machine he and us were both shocked too. But after a explanation from him, we understand that he suddenly end up due to his country running experiment on cross-dimensional Machine Protect Prototype P.

   My boss said that Major Frost was end up here because of experimental and for some reason his people doing a test-run but somehow in strangely part the Portal suddenly it connected to unknow source by it self-received coordinate number...which is us. His Machine become unstable it then create some sort a small blackhole inside the portal as it almost suck up one of the scientist but Frost quickly push him outside and himself being suck into the Portal. That's explain why he still in peace and...the first contact from multiverse appear on our world.

Bell: So boss, this is where we start the first multiverse diplomatic and exchange information between we and also his homeworld?

Divisional General Lam: That's the one, after learning from his origin we let's him stay and start to connecting his homeworld. Then next day and a week later, after balancing our Portal Machine we start to send our world diplomatic delegates even UEC President to Vietnam his homeworld. Eventually they both signed and recognized the first multiverse diplomats.

Divisional General Lam: But....*Grab his flask drinking again*

Divisional General Lam: During the meeting *hic* our delegates learn that there is an all-out war across global in his homeworld can cause a end to this alternate earth leaving heavily destruction.....*hic* after that meeting, UEC President Wilson find himself in hard position between choosing to save the multiverse or....leave itself to handle it business

Bell:.............

Divisional General Lam: Back in our world, President Wilson address this issue to public during the meeting of all World Leaders and yes civilians can express this in mail-vote too in UN-UEC Hall Assembly for voting to decided the choice *hic*, in aftermath the polling was show result....

Bell: All support, I remember we vote to support the the Terra world helping Major Frost and his other Allied Factions to save his world despite the minority numbers of some civilian unsure, neutral, some little bit against it.

Divisional General Lam: *hic* Y-Yeaaah, we then start to intervene their world to help them against much more *hic*complex enemy from different world. In our motherland Indochina, Our President tasking the first multiverse expedition task force included me deploying to Terra Vietnam and some other locations.

Bell: That's where you was task to take second-in-command in People's Defense Force of Vietnam and also in the ranks of United Communist Alliance while you still serve in IPAF?

Divisional General Lam: Yes *hic*, thank to myself being an advisor, commandant, then Divisional General I was able to met other faction leaders during the war and it post-war. With that, I able to learn from them so I may taking skill of becoming Commander as well a soldier *hic*

Bell: Woah....boss I never know that you life as soldier is adventurous and facing much more risky danger on the frontline. And yet, you still keep your lives despite the battle scars but the others.......

Divisional General Lam: I know *hic* I realized I look back and see how many of our friends, comrades and lovers one laying down there fallen. But I've made a promised to the fallen to keep fighting.....for the good thing in the name of humanity and for peace *hic*

Bell: So that's why we can not let their sacrifice in vain....boss you sure a quite something

Divisional General Lam: Yeah *hic*at least is worth it, this is all for the weak, the innocents, and those who yearning a true peace......this is what they want and so do we *hic*

Bell: *Try to hold his laugh* Boss, you just sound like you're philosopher or something when you drunk but.....ahem, you sure one of helluva of spirit of the fighters

Divisional General Lam: Bell *hic* it was very kind of you to said that comrade *hic*.....but to be honest, I earned this thank to my old fallen comrades, friends, lovers one if isn't for them I was able to continue the fight for true peace. And thank you Bell

Bell: For what boss?

Divisional General Lam: For trusting and alway got my back comrade *hic*

   With that, both of our man salute and Bell packing all these stuff and leave to return to his barrack tent for picking up his other stuffs and weapon before joining the rest of his assigned units waiting for transport truck. While Lam on other hand, he got another important thing to do is to discuss a battle plan for tomorrow a tactical strategy one because tomorrow they will face a much more strong enemy.....

Divisional General Lam (Thought): It's seem that I have another important meeting to attending for big day tomorrow

   Lam look at the big map of Honkai Earth showing some countries some continents marked in blue zone are "Allied Zone" but some half of map is red one indicating that "Hostile Area" and that where the Allied have battle plan to liberate them and stage a offensive to take back the Honkai Earth. For Lam, he also have same thought with the Coalition to win this fight plus....he have to set it end for final score to 467th Specialist with Rouge Cell fuckers.....

Divisional General Lam: *Grab a Machete* I swear to Jesus as well Buddha when we take back Switzerland?

   He furiously threw his grandfather Machete like a dart as it hit to one specific location where all members of 467th Specialist with Rouge Cell location in Switzerland central map....

Divisional General Lam: I'm gonna fucking end this once for all.....so mark my FUCKING word Captain of 467th cause I coming for you. ALL. OF .YOU.....mark my word

2nd Corp Soldier: Uhm...sir? T-there someone want to meet you. I-It's Captain Ezra from the Coalition sir he want to notified you about the meeting?

Divisional General Lam: Oh I see, sorry about that comrade. Let's him in

2nd Corp Soldier: Yes sir

   As one of his soldier informed him about Captain Ezra want to see him and already went outside. Lam turn his back and grab some of his stuffs before leaving his tent for meeting up with other Coalition members. before he finish, Captain Ezra is already in his tent

Cpt. Ezra: Lam you still in there man? Richard is calling every officers outside. the meeting is gonna start now- Woah

   Ezra notice the intense atmosphere of murderous aura around the air, he notice how Lam growling a an wild animal and......a dart, no it a bloodily fucking old Machete on Honkai Earth map

Cpt. Ezra: Lam you aright? you seem....

Divisional General Lam: I'm fine Captain....just a bit of "madness thought". That all *Twitching his eye*

   Ezra see this, he concerned that did Lam almost loose his breaking point? or the adrenalin of bloodthirsty just jump in Lam head?  Whatever it is, Ezra came to his Indochinese comrade and put his hand on Lam shoulder to calm him down

Cpt. Ezra: Lam I don't know what on your head right now, you gotta stop thinkin' about it cause we have a important meeting to discuss the operation plan tomorrow

Divisional General Lam: I know, it's just that there something on my mind lately....like there is someone keep calling my name. I ain't sure if I being paranoid or my mind been fucked Ezra...

Cpt. Ezra: Jeez man, I don't know if you got some kind of mental trauma or your brained get fucked something? I'm swear you almost mentally same like Kevin in his mid 20s.

Divisional General lam: Very funny to referenced somebody Captain Ezra.....

Cpt. Ezra: What? I'm just saying. Anyway, Richard is already at the meeting let's go before he send Pierson hogging our asses man

  Divisional General Lam: Yeah yeah yeah, don't need to remind me twice Captain Ezra, let me just grab my stuff and we will go

Ezra: Aright then, I'll wait for you outside the tent

   Ezra turn his back and leave the tent waiting for Lam, While our Divisional General calm down and calmly picking his stuff and weapons. When he pull his blade out and he look at his grandfather weapon the Old' Machete....that belong to his passing grandad when he use to be soldier surviving all three war and had fought many enemies from the French, Japanese, the Yankee then to the fucking Khmer Rouge and the Commie Ching Chong. When peace come, he give it to Lam as a gift and he continue to it fighting many battle from World War III, the Secret War, The Multiverse Terra War and now this war.

Divisional General Lam: This is just the beginning....may their God bless their souls for they need it for tomorrow

   He holster his Machete and grab some of his weapon with some other stuffs. He then leave his Commander Tent and went along with Ezra as the two discussing about strategy tactical plan.

(Bell POV)

   After the drink with Divisional General Lam, I have return back to my garrison tent near the opposite Coalition tent. Inside garrison, there some few of our soldiers sleeping on their makeshift bunk bed I guess some others still outside. Anyway, I grab some of my stuffs and weapons before waiting those trucks with fellow of my units. I went to my personal crate and open to grab some of my favorite"special tools"

(MK-18 MOD 1 Carbine & M203 UGL)

(SV-98M Bolt Action Sniper Rifle)

(SIG SAUER M17 Pistol)

Bell: *Whistle* Come to papa!

Aren't them sexy and deathly? These are my gals my sweethearts from Indochine, they may be young and was made from around circa 2000s and 2010s and already out-of-service or some are limited served in Solaris Federation Armed Force. But in our world, they still in service of our world Armed Force with improvement & upgrade to making them more durability, high damage by using anti-armor rounds can penetrate light or medium armor level, withstand any harsh environment even in deep water or up space they still can malfunction like normal gun. Despite the our Allied the Coalition all using high-tech weapons with their exo suits capable doing lot of damage and even confusing why we still use these old system even their similar one was used during their previous war. It's doesn't matter what weapon you use on battlefield all I know that our world weapons is versatile, useful and lethal enough to put down a whole fucking horde of devils even some big ass monsters...

Anyway, I pick all of my gals by using their sling carried them on my front body or my back. After grabbing some necessities, I go outside and head to where my comrades from the two SOIR units of the JTF C-29 as they are now waiting on the sidewalk that near the makeshift Portal in front of that small cabin house where the Portal Operators are operating and activating it. I then joint the waiting crowd, I see they're ready and got their equipments as they talking having some conversation while wait for the transport truck to pick us up. As I sit nearby rock I saw one soldier. A marine with his grey hat from the crow approach me

??? Marine: Hey comrade, you name Bell right? Glad for you to joint us comrade *Held a handshake*

Bell: *Accept the handshake* Thank you comrade, you from SOIR?

??? Marine: Yeah, the 192th SOIR Marine Company and some of those guys you saw have a chat with us are from the 46th SOIR Infantry Company I take that you taking a lead of newly form Task Force

Bell: Yeah Divisional General Lam order, he commissioning me to take in charge of this Task Force, so mind telling me about your officer and their too I need to know who taking in charge of two Company here?

JTF C-29 Cpt. Willis: Sir that would be me Captain Willis Johnson, I take in charge of my Marine Company the 192th here. Congratulation for leading us in Joint Task Force sir

Bell: No need to be formal Captain but thank again, mind telling me the other? Or I can assume that woman with the red beret and smoking is also taking in charge of the 46th?

JTF C-29 Cpt. Willis: Correct sir, she is Major Anya Petrenko take in charge of her 46th Company, don't mind her about her smoking habit sir she can be quite of....smoker

Bell: It's fine Captain, anyway I want you to check on our units numbers and equipments. Oh right, also give me a full list of our comrade from two Company so that I may get to know them for further operation

JTF C-29 Cpt. Willis: *Salute* Yes sir, right on!

   With that, he then leave to get me a list of units so I may arrange them for side-ops mission or some times stealth mission too on this operation. When I was to check the time on my watches, the Portal was fully open then a line of military trucks was coming out one by one from that glowing blue light of Portal.

   One of the truck then soon came out of Portal and followed by two or three of the truck as they park in front of us

Bell (Thought): Guess our ride is here, now I gonna addressing both Company for this operation before we get in for the new trip.

Bell: We've got a job to do
