Arknights: Oripathic Cold War

After days of rest and recovery in Overseer's haven, all of their wounds are healed for now. Eriksson decided to be a Medic of the team. Sacrificing a favor from Overseer, as Eriksson now has two medkits and his usual AG4. Eriksson's dream was to be a best doctor of his town... Only for him to end up in the military.

"So, how's the training?" Brunner asked.

"Not too bad... Although it could be harder." Eriksson replied.

"Right... Now, let's head to the briefing and get ready, Kamerad." Brunner told his teammates to assemble.

They all nodded and went to the board.

Main Objective:
-Find and Escort our Contractor, the Kashchey's heiress.

Side Objectives:
- Locate and Rescue the Infected, from being killed by the Ursus's 'Gestapo'.

- Search and Destroy the Originium Supply.

- Build the New Reunion, in your way.

Side Note: All of you have an unnatural immunity to Oripathy. And remember to lie about your identity.

"... Ok?" The Berzerkers confused.

"So that's our mission...?" Masaro asked.

"Ahem. Alright, we got our contact from Kashchey's heiress. In... a village. There are signs of infected civilians are about to be trapped and we'll have to take action. We'll be in there sooner than her, and there will be hostiles left and right. So, get your guns ready, eyes peeled, and ears for anything. Got it?" Brunner explained.

"Yes sir!" The squad replied.

"Wat? I'm maybe in my 30s, but I think I've gone deaf..." Brunner said.

"Why is that Commander?" Masaro asked.

"BECAUSE I CAN'T HEAR A FUCKING WORD FROM ALL OF YOU!!! URAAA!?" Brunner raised his voice.

"URAAAAA!!!" The Berzerkers shouted their war cry.

"God... Thanks for the enthusiasm..." Eriksson sighed while the others chuckled.

"Alright, let's go take names and kick some ass." Brunner said.

"Yes sir!" The Berzerkers shouted in unison.

They took on the Puma and take flight. Brunner turned on his favorite music for the Puma.

"Ah, Perfect. Soldier (TF2) would be proud of me~" Brunner said.

"Your German friends are going to kill you for this..." Sokolsky said.

"Nein, I don't understand the context so that's fine I guess." Erhardt said.

"Whatever... Kraut." Sokolsky muttered.

"Did you said something Russkiy?" Erhardt asked.

"That's nothing." Sokolsky laughed awkwardly.

Meanwhile in a village in Ursus wilderness.

They suddenly heard the sound of the Puma and the song 'Paint It Black'. They barely had time to send the Infected and locked them up in granary. When they sawed the helicopter landed, with seven of them got off. The rotors started to stop spinning, but the music didn't.

"Alright, what the bloody hell is going on here mate?" Campbell asked.

"Who are you-!? Wait... are you seven the Lateranians? Because all of you don't look like one?" One of the villagers asked.

"Er... Kommandant?" Erhardt asked Brunner.

"Alright..." Brunner asked.

Then the music stopped.

"Nein, we're not the Lateranians or something. We're the Berzerkers, a seven men of Nomads who're tired of all nations which treating us as test patients due to our immunity." Erhardt explained to the villagers.

"Well that's a good explaination...?" Masaro thought.

The villagers started looking and talking at each other. Confused both by their equipment and Erhardt's explanation.

"And one more thing, what are you bloody doing with those people?" Campbell asked the actions of villagers.

Campbell then pointed at the Infected getting taken to the granary. The villagers suddenly got hostile, but the Berzerkers quickly reacts with raised guns, surrounding the Puma.

"Drop your bloody crossbows and melees now!" Campbell shouted.

"We may be outnumbered, but we won't give up!"Eriksson insisted.

"And you'll pay for taking the innocents as hostages!" Eugene said.

"Your crimes shall be paid with lead... In the name of Emperor." Masaro warned.

"We're in the hostile territory... Well, at least it's not crazy girls or yandere you all talking about." Eugene relieved.

Meanwhile...

"What? Seven people just arrived out of nowhere and are fighting against the villagers that have the Infected living there?" Talulah shocked.

"Yes, Madam Talulah. We suddenly saw a group of seven men arrived at the village. I heard they're not Lateranians and they're somewhat immune to the Oripathy. They must've got suspicious of people taking the Infected into the granary, and got attacked." One of the Reunion scouts explained.

"Interesting... I'll go and check it out. I might be able to help them." Talulah said.

"And... Please hurry. They won't last long." The scout said.

At the Berzerkers...

Gunfights between the villagers and the Berzerkers were unleashed. While the villagers have sheer numbers, Berzerkers have a quality of firepower, taking down a good amount of villagers and more are firing arrows at the Berzerkers. The Infected ran away, while the Berzerkers make sure they've escaped.

"Get out of here, already!!! They're going to kill you all!" Eriksson said.

"What about you and your people!?" A female Infected asked.

"We'll find our vay out, fraulein! Just run! Far away from here!" Erhardt told her.

"Be safe then..." She said before she escaped the village.

With the last Infected ran from the village, the Berzerkers held their ground. With Sokolsky blowing up more villagers with an RPG-7. They quickly decided their attack is too costly for the Infected or the Berzerkers. So, they run, due to lack of number. Giving the Berzerkers a swift victory, with the Infected evacuated and saved.

"XAXAXAXAXAXA!!! MY BABUSHKA FIGHTS HARDER THAN YOU TINY BABIES!!!" Sokolsky laughed.

"If a Churchill tank company came here, they'll be shitting their pants and surrender immediately." Campbell stated.

"Ha! Even the Chinese partisans fought better than these idiot villagers." Masaro laughed.

"Ja! They won't even last a second against the Flammenwerfer if I have one now!" Erhardt exclaimed.

"One more time and they will taste the might of my MG!" Eugene exclaimed.

"That'll teach them a lesson. Alright, check your ammo and supplies and get ready. Our contractor could arrive at anytime." Brunner notified.

"Yes-." The Berzerkers replied him before getting interrupted.

"I didn't expect to see seven of you managed to save the Infected... By force."

They turned to see...

"We suspected they're kidnapping them, and then... that happened." Brunner replied her.

"No wonder... Although, I've noticed all of you let the infected escape, unharmed."

"What can we say? We have to protect them. Otherwise, those scumbags will have them dead... Or worse..." Eugene said.

"Alright. I'm convinced... For now. And before you've asked, yes. I'm your contractor."

"Great. Just in time, Miss..." Brunner said.

"Talulah Artorius. You seven can just call be Talulah." Talulah introduced herself.

"Very well, then. Fraulein Talulah." Brunner greeted.

"Greeting miss." Campbell greeted.

"Guten Tag, Fraulein Talulah." Erhardt greeted.

"Hej, Miss Talulah." Eriksson greeted.

"Bonjour." Eugene greeted.

"Privet." Sokolsky greeted.

"Konnichiwa, Talulah-san." Masaro greeted.

"Goodbye!" The village chief shouted.

Then they noticed the villagers fired a cannon at them... After the smokes cleared, the villagers' smirk turned to a horrified expression. As none of them were killed or hit.

The Berzerkers and the Reunions looked at them awkwardly.

"You missed." Campbell said.

"Well that suck-" The chief instantly regretted his move.

They were later executed by the Berzerkers. With their gunshots can be heard in the whole area.

"Anyone else?" Brunner looked at them murderously.

The villagers didn't dare say a word and all quickly run away again. This time with weapons left behind.

"This place isn't going to be safe any longer... How about we head to Chernobog? We're trying to get people on our side." Talulah asked.

Seeing no alternative, they agreed. Talulah hesitantly gets on the Puma and they take flight. She was impressed by the Nomad's discipline and morale. She noticed they started to get along.

"So... They were opposing factions?" Talulah asked.

"Er..." Sokolsky stuttered.

"Crap... Er... Commander?" Campbell asked Brunner.

"Yeah... They didn't like each other at first, but after a few misadventures with a few of our so-called countrymen... Well, they knew that fighting each other would be a huge risk." Brunner lightly groaned then explained to her.

"All of you were traitors?" Talulah asked.

"More like test subjects, due to our immunity to the Oripathy..." Brunner further explained.

"Da." Sokolsky said.

"Mhm." Eriksson agreed.

"Yep." Campbell agreed.

"Ja." Erhardt agreed.

"Oui" Eugene followed up.

"Hai, Talulah-san." Masaro said yes.

She was shocked, they are immune to the Oripathy and yet, they were treated as test subjects to make them into executioners or spies for their nations. From their language to Talulah, Sokolsky is an Ursusian, Campbell is a Victorian, Brunner and Erhardt is a Leithanien, Eriksson could be an Aegiran while Eugene is a Gaulian. And lastly Masaro is a Higashian. She thought that they're the lucky ones from Terra.

In reality, Brunner and his team are from Earth. A German Veteran (Brunner), a Soviet AT Specialist (Sokolsky), a British Marksman (Campbell), a Swedish Dokutah (Eriksson), a Japanese Marine (Masaro), a Battle-hardened French (Eugene) and a Pyrophile German (Erhardt).

As the heli arrived at Chernobog... Reunion looked at the Puma and are confused at it. And when the Berzerkers came out of the heli. They're quite hostile until they noticed Talulah, their leader came out. They noticed that she's unharmed.

"She's unharmed!?" One of Reunion soldier surprised.

"Glad that these guys aren't the Ursus Military..." They relieved.

"They're not even infected, maybe they're tired of the killing of the Infected." The soldiers stated.

"More like we're test subjects due to our immunity..." Campbell said.

They all looked at Campbell confused.

"Alright Kamerad... Take a seat and we'll tell our story..." Brunner said.

And after an explanation... Or I should say, a fake story of them was a test subjects of different nations, Ursus, Victoria, Higashi, Aegir and Leithania tried to turn them into executioners due to their immunity. Brunner managed to escape first, and then the others. They were ex-military before their immunity was known.

The Reunion was shocked. They were loyal until they were founded out of their immunity to the Oripathy. Now, they don't know who to follow. The Kashchey's heiress or the betrayed Nomads. Talulah maybe their leader of the Reunion, but they're doubtful if she's fighting for the Infected. The Berzerkers, they're immune to the Oripathy but are treated as test subjects after their secret was revealed. They just don't know if they're willing to fight for the Infected.

With that, they decided to settle down and planned for the Chernobog assault. The Berzerkers have met with the Talulah's associates, Big Bob, Crownslayer (Lyudmila), Faust (Sasha), FrostNova (Yelena), Kevin (Arknights), Mephisto (Eno), Misha, Nine, Patriot, and Skullshatter (Alex).

"Right, We'll deal with the Third Army of the Ursus, with what we have. We'll need crossbowers, casters, a few snipers, and the location of the 3rd Army. We'll face them, with guerrilla warfare. In our way." Brunner gave a brief to their plan of destroying the Ursus 3rd Army.

"Your point, Kevin? You're not Patriot." Crownslayer questioned.

"In our standards, that will weaken their abilities to fight more effectively. Two, we don't fight them head-on, but rather harass them, hence we prefer hit and run tactics. And three, we target their supplies and then harass them." Brunner elaborated.

"Er... How effective...?" Faust questioned.

"Hmm... Depends, the larger their forces, the more damage we can cause. But the higher risk of getting caught... So, Sokolsky and Eugene will search for a pick-up truck. Masaro will piss off the 3rd Army into chasing him, Eriksson and I will wait for them to ambush them with arrows and lead. That'll make the 3rd Army of Ursus, into a joke of all nations." Brunner answered.

This impressed the others, with a small chuckle from Patriot.

"Well, if that's the case, be careful out there... I don't want you to get hurt..." Mephisto said.

"Boy, someone have to get hurt, or... ahem, fall dead to finish the job. We'll fight the toughest army so that others can fight them with easier difficulty. Sorry for my honesty." Campbell said.

"N-None taken... A bit..." Mephisto said.

"Are you guys sure? You'll be facing a few of those Emperor's Blades." Crownslayer questioned.

"When they come, these bastards can suck my AK4!" Eriksson cocked his gun.

"XAXAXAXAXAXA!!! Good one comrade!" Sokolsky laughed.

"Pfttttt..." Campbell got cringed of Eriksson's joke.

"Bruh..." Eugene had the same reaction.

"Mein Gött... Why..." Erhardt muttered.

Masaro had nothing to say, only to look at Eriksson awkwardly.

A good amount of Reunion's Soldiers chuckled or giggled. Crownslayer raised an eyebrow at Eriksson's dirty joke. Some of the leaders blushed a bit, while Mephisto and Misha doesn't get it.

"Ahem. If you want to come with us, go ahead. It's your choice. For we're the Berzerkers, we're always the first boots on the ground!" Eriksson continued.

"URAAAAA!!!" The Berzerkers shouted their war cry.

"Couldn't say it myself, Karl." Brunner said.

"Don't we, comrade?" Sokolsky questioned.

"I admire your bravery. Very well, I'll follow." Patriot praised.

"I'll follow you too." FrostNova decided to join the Berzerkers.

"Anyone else then?" Campbell asked.

Most of the Reunion's guerrillas and Yeti squadron goes with the Berzerkers. With that, Crownslayer goes with the Berzerkers as the rest follows Talulah.

"Well. Looks like you'll be our assault forces. Hope you and your teams will beat or rout the 3rd Army of Ursus. We'll deal with the rest and take Chernobog." Talulah said.

They all nodded and started their mission.

Right at Episode 7 of Arknights...

After an accident with Patriot's death by Oripathy and FrostNova's gone M.I.A. The remaining troops are still waiting for the 3rd Army... 300 Soldiers... 308 if you count both the Berzerkers and Crownslayer. All are the remaining elites.

"Are you sure..." Crownslayer questioned.

"They told me to, be careful as we're now just 300 soldiers strong." Brunner said.

"Hey, you're the squad leader of the Berzerkers. Always the first boots on the ground!" Crownslayer told him.

"Ok... Now let's see..." Brunner inspected the team.

Eugene and Eriksson have Phantom Crossbowmen and their technicals ready. Sokolsky is waiting for the flare shot. While Masaro...

"Come and get me!!!" Masaro fired at the 3rd Army.

"That little-!!! Get him!" The captain signed his troops to chase Campbell down.

The 3rd Army was chasing him... Until then...

"Crownslayer, fire the flare!" Kevin signed.

She fired the flare gun up to the sky. With that... A Puma Heilcopter arrived with a different theme.

And then with rockets, firing from the Puma. The 3rd Army quickly got trapped as Brunner, Campbell and the Reunion fighters rained arrows, magic bolts, and bullets at the 3rd Army.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!" One of the soldiers got shot.

"WHAT THE!? THOSE ARE THE REMAINING REUNION!?" The Ursus soldiers were caught off guard by this situation.

Sokolsky trapped their exits, by sending a flyby barrage. Forcing them to fight against the Reunions. Crownslayer went on a stabbing spree as Campbell and a few snipers search and take out the leaders, Masaro bayonetted and fired at Ursus crossbow flyboys, raiders, casters, attack dogs, grenadiers and drones.

"We're overwhelmed by these Rebels!? Who are th-!?" The captain got bayonetted before he finished his words.

"That will be the Reunion's Berzerkers! It's that right!?" Masaro exclaimed.

"OORAH!" The Reunion fighters shouted their war cry.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! WE'RE THE WINDS OF DESTRUCTION!!!" Eugene laughed maniacally while firing his MG on the pickup truck.

"The Tachanka is here comrades!" Sokolsky exclaimed.

"AHHHHHHH!!! I'M BURNING!!!" One of the Ursus soldiers got burned by Erhardt's RPO.

"HAHAHA!!! This incendiary launcher is good as mein Flammenwerfer! CRY WHILE YOU CAN LIVE FOR ANOTHER MOMENT!" Erhardt laughed maniacally.

With technicals charging after the Puma runs out of ammo. Sokolsky fall back and regroup as a AT specialist. With a charge at the backline and Eugene's MG, mowing the Ursus ground troops with the rest of the crossbowmen. Not to forget about them burning to crisp by Erhardt's RPO. A lot of the Ursus soldiers of the 3rd Army is no more. With the coordination of the Berzerkers and lighting assault. The 3rd Army quickly search for a retreat, but... They were given no mercy.

"Make them pay! Vive la Résistance!" Brunner shouted.

"Vive la Résistance!" The remaining Reunion fighters shouted in unison.

Meanwhile, an Emperor's Blade is watching, concerned that it going to be shot next, and the knowledge of the Observer's mercenaries. Despite only seven to Blade, they would beat the Sarkaz mercenaries with their weapons and could've served well under the Ursus Empire. But, the Blade is aware of the incoming Rhode Island operators. The Blade decided to leave the Berzerkers to their fate.

"Consider this is a warning... Observer's mercenaries..." The Blade said before he left.

Meanwhile at random location...

They have dealt with the rest with Talulah escaped. She now has evidence of them... Looking at the brass bullets that have been discharged from the Berzerkers' guns.

Now, they're on the right track. As they've found the Berzerkers fighting against the Ursus 3rd Army. And now, they're cheering for their victory, after beating the 3rd Army into a laughing stock of 50 remainings, with only 20 Reunions lost.

"Hehehe... We'll see how long will you last..." Kal'tsit laughed.

Other operators went to the Resistance... Their only hope was to be ready for them. Even both Silverash's sisters went for him.

Back to La Résistance...

"You want me to be what!?" Crownslayer shocked.

"Since we might have to leave, I'm giving my responsibility to you. This won't be the last of them, hence, we're entrusting you to lead them." Brunner said.

"Yeah, we can't stay here for long. Who knows, what bloody maniacs can be waiting..." Campbell said.

"Fine... I hope your tactics would help. But, I won't be trying to help the Reunion anymore." Crownslayer sighed.

"Well, your call. Comrade." Sokolsky said.

Suddenly the concrete below them opened to see.

"DOKTAHS!~"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" The Berzerkers screamed while gunned Gravel down.

Only a fucked up bloody mess of a head. The Reunion fighters are now panicking.

"Even if we have a chance of a peaceful escape, THIS JUST HAPPENS!!!" Brunner cursed.

"They could be anywhere!!! But where!?" Campbell panicked.

"Kuso... These crazy women can't stop chasing us down." Masaro cursed.

"T-That means... The rumors are true... A Research Lab..." Crownslayer recalled her memories.

"Calm down and tell us, Comrade!" Sokolsky exclaimed.

"FROSTNOVA WARNED ME ABOUT THE DANGER OF THE SEVEN NOMADS ABOUT TO HAVE!!! AFTER THE CHEMICAL LEAK, THE RHODE ISLAND HAS GONE CRAZY!!! AT FIRST, I THOUGHT SHE'S PARANOID, But now... Shit..." Crownslayer explained.

"Then get out of here! We can't fight them!" Brunner told the remaining Reunions to evacuate.

The Reunion fighters quickly evacuate. The Berzerkers, head back to their Puma. Only to be stopped by...

"There you are!~" Lappland laughed manically.

"SCHEISSE!!!" Brunner cursed.

With a burst of G3A3 is not enough, Campbell's L64 burst to her head was enough to take her out. With more coming, they choose to run.

"Aim for the head, and don't stop running!" Campbell notified.

"Roger!" The Berzerkers nodded.

As they kept running, they've been attacked by the operators, now blocking their path... But Brunner...

"Concentrate fire!" Brunner ordered.

"Yes sir!" The team said.

They run and gun through the operators. Aiming for the head, they killed enough operators to get through.

"Doktahs, let the Mt.Karlan and myself take care of all of you.~"

"Doktahs!~ We'll make our new bloodline without the trouble of my brother!!!"

"I must taste all of your blood, Doktahs!"

"I'll make all of you belong to the Rhode Island's! Forever!!!"

"Mein Gött! NEIN!!!" Erhardt rejected.

"NYET!!!" Sokolsky rejected.

"Why us!? Can't they just look for somebody else!?" Campbell annoyed.

"Keep pushing through! Don't let them get us!" Brunner continued to told his team to keep moving.

As they reach another group of operators, a fire wave burned them down. Talulah is there.

"Through here!" Talulah shouted.

They quickly take a right turn as Talulah follows them. The Berzerkers dodged through them, as operators tried to stop them, with Originum Arts, bolts, and melees. The Berzerkers kept pushing forward, blocking the swords and evading insane girls, taking down a few more. As they arrive at another operator blockade...

"Let 'em have it!" Brunner shouted.

They all fired at will, assault Rifles, battle rifle, MG, incendiary launcher and anything else they have. Burst after burst, they took down the blockade and pushed through. All of them reloaded as Talulah burned a few more blocking operators.

"We're getting close!" Talulah told them while running close to the nearest place.

"Keep pushing through! We can't let them take us!" Brunner shouted.

"DOKUTAH!!~"

An operator suddenly came out of the corner.

"AH MERDE!! SOMEBODY HELP!!!" Eugene cursed as the operator grab his arm.

But in the next moment, the operator got her arm sliced and her heart stabbed. Eugene saw the man who hold his katana with blood dripping off. The man was Masaro.

"Well, thank you Masaro." Eugene thanked Masaro and relieved from the situation.

"Always watch you back, Raymond. And let's move on." Masaro replied.

They ran to the place and unlocked the safehouse(Not anymore!) and barricaded the door. Reaching to the field, they get the Puma ready to fly, while Erhardt set a timed TNT with a stack of Originum Supply hiding it.

"Hans! We're taking off!!!" Brunner called Erhardt to get on the heli.

"Coming now, Major!!!" Erhardt ran to the heli as fast as he can.

With the Berzerkers now on the heli and escaping... The operators breached though... but, by the time they've arrived...

"Wait... What was that-?"

*KA-BOOM!!!*

The Reunion's safehouse in Ursus is destroyed. With the Originum bomb, set by Erhardt. Forcing the Puma on an emergency landing due to the shockwave, but their lucks holds. As the portal to Overseer's haven opened and send them all in.

Overseer's Safe Haven.

With the Berzerkers back with a damaged Puma and a exhausted team, with a landing successful. Overseer looked at his tablet smirking.

Main Objective:
-Find and Escort our Contractor, the Kashchey's heiress. (Successful)

Side Objectives:
- Locate and Rescue the Infected, from being killed by the Ursus's 'Gestapo'. (Successful)

- Search and Destroy the Originium Supply. (Successful)

- Build the New Reunion, in your way. (Partially Successful)

"A job well done... Despite your panicking, at least you've done your job." Overseer praised.

"Yeah..." Brunner agreed.

"I suppose I'll be staying here for a while." Talulah said.

"Until I can find a safe place for you to return, of course. Miss Talulah. So, Mr. Brunner?" Observer asked.

"Yes?" Brunner accepted the request.

"You have enough for one more personnel and the late-Cold War equipment. So-" Overseer said.

"I know, just do it now." Brunner answered without hesitation.

"Well... That's rude of you. But, very well. I got a surprise for all of you, consider the other one coming later." Overseer chuckled.

Their new equipment is now more like the late-Cold War and millennial military. Brunner and Erhardt are now wearing a more modern Wehrmacht combat uniform. With their new weapons, Campbell got his AWM while Brunner with his G41. Both the Germans of them now have USP pistols as their sidearms. Brunner still has his trusty trench shovel. Surprisingly, Erhardt got an upgrade for his weapon, now got a thermobaric launcher, RPO-A Shmel.

"Nice, some good old 5.4mm Mauser." Brunner laughed.

"Well... That's something. This is .338 Lapua Magnum? Now we talking!" Campbell amazed at his sniper rifle.

"And this is Minimi MG... Made from Belgium and Germany!?" Eugene felt surprised when he got a new MG.

"Wow, thermobaric launcher?!! This gonna pack a lunch to the enemies!" Erhardt never felt so happy before with his weapon.

"Ja. That's 21st century to you. Times changes, and former enemies became freunde." Brunner said.

"How the times flies..." Eugene sighed.

For Masaro, he also got a more modern IJA combat uniform, now armed with Howa Type 49 loaded with intermediate round.

"Wow, new guns and new uniform. Looks fresh on me." Masaro surprised.

"Ja, you do." Erhardt agreed.

"Speaking of modern age, I hope my country will head towards the path of peace already." Masaro sighed.

"Welcome to our party, tovarisch." Sokolsky said.

Eriksson basically has minimal changes to his equipment except for uniform. But his main weapon changed to AK5 assault rifle. Same as Sokolsky, his AK74 changed to AK74M. His RPG-7 ammo now has equipped with more powerful warhead which packs a punch and good penetration.

"Well, looks like me and the Karl doesn't have much changes in our equipment blyat." Sokolsky said.

"Alright then. Since the next mission is going to be tough. I'm gonna get a Chinese personnel for it. I'm going to create an international legion... I should say." Brunner thought.

"Wait, why do I felt disturbance around here?" Masaro thought.
