"Oh... Thanks." Kevin replied to the DARPA Engineers, giving him a Prototype SHD Tech.

"You'll need every Advanced Tech to win the battle, General. We've sent another to your HQ in Australia." The DARPA Administrator.

"Alright, thanks. I'm going to save the girls... No matter the cost." Kevin thanked him and left.

After passing the US-Canada Border, he only has a small squad of MIlitia and a few US Soldiers, with the NPX's Insignia.

"Alright... Let's go."

We advanced through as the Militia Leader reported...

"Sky Warden here. Reporting multiple Reunion Forces along with some Originum Slugs at your front... You have the stealth initiative, over."

"Copy."

Kevin signaled his squad to stay quiet. They all nodded and moved slowly and quietly.

As they passed by...

"Gah... If only we're able to kill those Non-Infected... We all have guns after all!"

"And Originum Arts too! We'll overwhelm and kill these freaks, Especially the NPX and the Humanity First!"

"And why are we in this situation now? The Initiative wanted to see us killing each other, they give us weapons and tech while watching us, eating and drinking luxury stuff... It'll better to defect to the Phoenixes and help them with the Initiatives."

"Like I would listen to those UN hypocrites! We take them all down!"

Some of the Reunion consider defecting to the Coalition's side, but many are still willing to continue the fight. Kevin's Makeshift Task Force remained quiet while passing through the encampment of the Reunion.

Little did they know... A Certain Crownslayer was watching them, quietly.

They have managed to pass through their base...

"Alright. We've passed through them, along the Border." One of the Militia told Kevin.

"Let's get our-"

"Ahem."

The Soldiers and Militias took aim behind them, and it was Crownslayer.

"You've spotted us, and yet you don't alarm the others?" Kevin said that to her.

"The way you act is just like others who've spoken to you, indirectly..." Crownslayer replied.

"And what do you want?"

"Something that I can trust you with..."

Kevin just crossed his arms and said.

"Go on?"

"Where are their remains after you've cremated them?" Crownslayer told to Kevin.

"... Here."

Kevin showed her the Holographic Map, and then said...

"ISAC, locate the Burial Sites for those who died by the Oripathy."

"Locating..."

It showed the locations of every Cremated, both for Humans and Reunion... It's also near the NPX's Main Base...

"You... put them alongside us?" Crownslayer with a surprised tone.

"I've heard what happened to the Infected in your world and... I'm sorry to see and hear that..."

"I'm... glad you recognize... But do you have any cure...? For this?" Crownslayer with a curious tone.

Kevin could only shake his head. Crownslayer just sighs knowing the answer.

"I expected that... I guess you could only delay the inevitable."

"Aye... If only... It's always the Powers from the Governments that corrupt them." Kevin replied.

"... You're probably right..."

After a few seconds...

"... Here. Try this one."

Crownslayer gives him a Uniform. And He tried it on...

"Was the Fake Bear ears necessary?" Kevin questioned the fake bear ears.

"Yeah. You'll need to stay disguised if you're in their territory." Crownslayer replied.

"I see..."

Luckily, his troops know that's Kevin Lee. Since they've seen him change. They didn't open fire.

"Well, you look just like one of them, General." One of the Militia told Kevin.

"Yeah... Best to remember to return to your uniform after you're done... Your allies might mistake you as one of them..." A US Reservist with a concerned tone.

"I'll try to tell them..." Kevin as he might get shot down by Amel, all because of miscommunication...

"Anyways... I've also given you my phone number. If I need you to deal with an Initiative's Operation or such, I'll contact you." Crownslayer said to Kevin...

Kevin smirked and replied...

"You and I have the same enemy. The Dyson Initiative and Ursus Empire. You and I hate them, yet you don't have allies, and I have people watching me. I'll provide you with the needed transportation if you could disguise yourself. In return, you'll help me deal with the Ursus trying to influence the populace." Kevin.

"And you'll do operations to deal with the Initiatives. They're no better than the Ursus and other nations in my world that... You guessed it... But, is it a deal?" Crownslayer, raising her hand for a handshake.

"Deal." He accepted the handshake.

Crownslayer will help Kevin with the Ursus, influencing Humanity First and the populace, while Kevin will help Crownslayer's Faction with the Initiatives.

"Farewell, General. I'll let you know if I need your help."

She walks back into the Reunion's Encampment. As Kevin wore his Combat Uniform again.

"Alright... Let's continue our Mission."

They continued to rescue the Task Force Hinoki, as they were tasked to Abduct Kevin Lee for Takara...

Meanwhile... Amel's Forces...

https://youtu.be/PAQiNxYP7rA

The Communist Volunteer Forces along with the Humanity First Forces were charging through along with the skies and Rivers are filled with Northern Parliament Shipgirls and Communist Forces.

The Joint Communist-Humanity First Naval Fleet has got the Gulf of Saint Lawrance under control, as Kami's Naval 1st Fleet was taken down by ASM, AShM, or SSM Missiles. However, Amel forgot about the submarines and lost some of her ships, as the Communist Ships fired their ASWMs at the Submarines.

The Kitsunes and Tantou Jets were covering for the Kaminari and Yosei Bomber Jets to provide support for the Ground and Naval Forces.

New Brunswick was fallen to the Joint Forces, but the Defense Forces were suspiciously weak and retreated...

As they reinforced New Brunswick... Guerilla Warfare of the Kami Forces and skirmishes struck at their supply lines, but the majority of the Supplies were safe in the underground tunnels, the secretly transporting supplies.

The Kami and Canadian Forces responded by digging deeper than their tunnel and blowing their tunnel.

It looks like many Canadians are now Supporting the Kamis, militarily and economically. Kevin expected the result.

It was a Tunnel Warfare in Canada, along with the Arctic Warfare...

After two Days... Amel's POV.

We took Quebec City! Along with the whole of New Brunswick! And thank god for the United Communist Alliance, sending their Volunteers!

"Alright... Now, we're insight on Montreal! Once we take out the majority of their forces there, we'll take their deviant leader and bring Canada into the hands of the People!"

Both the Humanity First and Communist Forces raised their weapons high and cheered.

"Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!"

Later...

Now... I'm going to face Heavy Resistance, as the Canadian surrender themselves to the Kamis...

Well then, it'll take a while but, I'll Liberate Montreal. As I might need Infantry to clean the buildings, along with the Helicopter Support...

...

Say... I wonder what's Kevin doing... Probably still in South East Asia with his Forces...

Well, tomorrow it's the moment of truth... Either Canada will belong to the Humanity First and the Communists or to the Kamis...

Back to Kevin...

"You've found us first... Well done... Senpai..."

Kevin and his forces got to them before they arrived. They're in position and their weapons at ready. They're in a standoff, as they're in the forest.

"Kasumi... It's been a while." Kevin still with a stoic face.

... With a few seconds of silence...

"By the Orders of the Empress... Surrender yourself and we'll leave you unharmed..." Kasumi with an emotionless tone...

'That's not the Kasumi I know...' Kevin thought... She's a cheery and energetic girl... Not like that...

'Unless...'

Kevin looked at Dominatrix Mecha, just staring at it... Kasumi turns to look and then immediately turns away.

'That's your Political Commissar, huh?'

'You knew she has a crush on me and you treated her like that... huh?'

'No wonder you've lost your mind...'

Kevin used his earpiece and...

"All ATs (Anti Tank), Target the Dominatrix Mech. Destroy it and they'll fall. Infantry, defend the ATs. Stay Sharp!" Kevin radioed to his units.

"... For the Kami Empire..." Kasumi with her Energy Bow ready.

The Allied Forces opened fire as some of their Technicals already firing TOW Missiles at the Dominatrix, while the American Militias and National Guards opened Fire at the Kami Forces.

Kevin took out a few Imperial Warriors along with a good amount of Tank Busters and Imperial Infantry by other Soldiers and Militias, that the others spotted or didn't see.

As for the Kami, they suffered a first-strike advantage by Militia Snipers. And they quickly went to cover. As the Smaller Mechas deployed at Mobile Cover to protect them. The Rocket Angels were shot down... Except one.

Kevin signaled to Squad 1's Leader (Anti Tank), while in cover, to Maneuver and Attack the Dominatrix, while Squad 3 (MG) will distract them.

Squad 1's Leader signaled him back, with a negative. Signaling the Dominatrix is 800 meters range away, and doesn't have any Electronic Smoke Grenades to keep them hidden.

Squad 2's (Grenadiers) Leader whistled and replied with an affirmative on Grenades, including Electronic Smoke Grenades. And tossed them at the Mechas.

With that, Kevin and Squad 3 and 4 (Assault), opened fire at the Frontline Forces, to suppress and distract them. While Squad 1 quickly advances through Task Force Hinoki, as they're distracted by two Squads suppressing them. They were undetected, thanks to the Electronic Smoke Grenades... And Vietnamese Camouflage.

The Tenshi Squad wasn't aware of the AT Squad and Grenadiers snuck through them and landed right behind them. Kevin quickly responded with the 301st Assault Squad.

"It's... It's you...?" One of the Tenshi spoke, seeing Kevin up close.

"Kept you waiting huh?" Kevin replied.

"Still... I must do it... For the Empress..."

The Dominatrix was attacked by AT Squads and Grenadiers Squads, it was quite the damage they'd seen. Thanks to AP Missiles.

"!? You managed to... How..."

"I always have faith in my men. I always do. I may be powerful in my own abilities, but it's the men and women of the NPX Military that I have faith in a war. And it worked well."

"... Is it why... The Empress wanted you?"

"Well... Maybe..." Kevin with an unsure tone.

Before the Dominatrix could retaliate, another coordinated strike by the ATs and Grenadiers Squads... Further Damage, but not enough as the Mecha prepared to fire...

"How rude...~ It looks like you'll have to see this.~"

It fired at Kevin, which... 

"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKK!?"

The Strike was extremely painful and now he couldn't move... With the AT and Grenadiers Squads quickly firing at it... It was a Tazer... Without the Conductive Strings.

"... ow..."

Kevin collapsed and fainted, due to the severe pain, and his limbs were disabled...

"You're so cute, as you're now defenseless...~" The Dominatrix Mecha girl said... After neutralizing Kevin from a threat to a Non-Combatant...

"Shit! *Radio* ALL UNITS, PROTECT THE GENERAL!!! GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!!" The Sniper yelled to the rest on the radio, as they quickly started to fire at the Dominatrix... As some quickly dragged Kevin away from danger.

"Bring down the Heaven!" Kasumi orders her Archer Maidens to fire their arrows at the arc.

With the Energy Arrows loose and then split into many miniature arrows... Raining down on them.

"COVER!!! COVER!!!"

They quickly take cover, but some of the Militias and US National Guards were injured, with some killed by the barrage.

Before they started to push them back and abduct Kevin... A Barrage of Small Missiles landed at the Dominatrix Mecha...

It was blown to pieces along with being taken down like a stack of cards.

"Wha..." Kasumi with a shocked look at the sudden takedown of the Dominatrix...

"Huh...? What happened?" Kevin wakes up after a Combat Engineer restored his body.

Kevin's Forces looked behind them...

And it's a Second Communist Vanguard, led by someone...

It's Divisional General Lam, Leader of the Communist Faction (lamgiabao2017), which many of Kevin's Recruited American Militias and National Guards were wide-eyed in shock...

'A Bunch of Foreign Commies... Just saved our asses... What has this world gone into...?' To the American Militiamen and National Soldiers.

'How the fuck did he get here!? In the Tunnel or they're Paratroopers!?' In Kevin's Mind.

The Communist Coalition Forces arrived to take on Takara's Imperial Forces, and a small Company was sent to help Kevin... 

And Lam was here.

"How're things going, eh? Comrade?" Lam picked Kevin up from the ground after he recovered...

"How the hell did you get there!? By Parachutes or what!?" Kevin was confused as to how he managed to arrive at the Battle within 5 minutes... Including a Mechanized Company.

"Tunnel Trains. Our entrance and exits are within the forest that you're fighting in! How's that?" Lam with a friendly smirk at Kevin.

"I'll never understand why, We, Vietnamese always like to use the thick jungle..." Kevin with a dejected tone...

With the Joint Forces, they managed to take down the Second Wave of the Imperial Soldiers and Samurai Officers...

With that...

"W-We surrender!!! PLEASE!"

Suddenly, they're waving the white flag.

Kevin quickly signaled to his men to cease firing.

"CEASE FIRE!!!"

"CEASE FIRE! CEASE FIRE!"

The Task Force immediately got to their knees and their hands were up. Kevin along with Lam went to them...

Although, they're confused with the Kitsunes and Youseis Jets stopped fighting at them from the sky...

"Do what you want... I'll... accept my fate... to be your slave..." Kasumi told to both of them.

Both Kevin and Lam looked at each other in shock...

"Comrade... What's with her...?"

"... Takara... She broke her... Mentally..." Kevin said with a pained sigh...

Kevin went to her and kneeled. She looked at Kevin... Which Kevin...

"Do you remember me?"

"... huh...?"

"When I met you for the first time when I was visiting the Task Force Sayaka?"

"..."

After what felt like minutes...

"Hold on..." The Mecha Pilot recognized Kevin. "It's Kevin-san! He visited us two years before the war!"

"What!?" The rest was shocked that the very same Coalition General that they were ordered to capture...

Was the same guy, that visited their Base as a Lieutenant in Training.

"What the... you still knew them?" Lam with a confused tone.

"Yeah... After the Militia Leader in Detroit told me about Yuriko Matsui..." Kevin told Lam.

Kevin then looked back at Kasumi.

"Any... Huh?"

She was in tears...

"K-Kevin... Is that really you... You looked... different..." Kasumi noticed his changes.

"Yeah... Battle of Geneva... My flesh is replaced with a Mechanical Body... It was a Last Resort."

Kasumi could only cry and hugged him.

"... Ay yai yai..." Kevin could only try to comfort her... "Can anyone contact the Nanahara Family Alliance?"

"Why Kevin?" Lam with a confused reply.

"I... I think I have a place for them to recover... Maybe... Although, where's Matsui?"

"Above you, dummy."

Kevin looked up and saw her.

"Before you asked, Senpai. No, I didn't join. I planned this." Matsui told me, and lower herself to me.

"You... planned this? Where's the Imperial Soldiers?" Lam asked Matsui.

"His Forces killed them along with the Dominatrix. That's what I needed."

"For what?" Lam with his suspicion.

"Freedom. That's what."

After a few seconds...

"What do you think, Kevin-Senpai?" Matsui turns to me...

I started to think...

I decided they need to recover instead of continuing to fight like that.

"Best to recover first. This Task Force will need rehab to recover their mental state. Maybe a break at Jeju Island?"

After a few seconds of silence...

"Hmm... That sounds fine."

"Un. [Yeah.] I guess a little break is fine."

"I hope it's safe..."

Meanwhile, in Egypt...

"This... is where my mother was born in... And where I've also met the Commander of the New Phoenix Project." Asra telling to the Valkyries.

"Operation Al Alamein..." Mei with curiosity.

"Yeah... I've seen him, but I've never met him face-to-face until Al Alamein. And that was then the Task Force Kerisau has been declared 'corrupt and unsalvageable' with me, my older sister, Commander (Kevin), Ezra, Takara, Zheng, and Kiran as the exception."

"You've been working with him as a Secretary?" Mei asked Asra.

"Yeah. I didn't mind much. I also maintain the Navy when the Commander or Captain Martin isn't available."

"You have one hell of a busy job, Asra..." Kiana is already feeling concerned with her workhour.

"Hey, you girls are doing jobs that can cost your life or humanity... Now, me included..."

They have already dealt with the Honkais and Corrupted Objects. As the R7 Irregular Scout along with the UN Forces.

"... The Gummy Bears... They taste great..." Orca talked to Major General Derrick of the NPX's Ground Force.

"Yeah... We do have more, but I hope you can expand your boundaries."

"... I'm doubtful..." Orca replied to Derrick.

"Say, is it normal for your Faction Leader to Fight?" Charlie Rockwood asks Derrick.

"When he was a Soldier? Yeah. But now that he's our Commander in Chief/General... That can only mean the Situation is Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition."

"Jeez! That means things have gone completely fucked up!?" Jessica Green with a shocked tone.

"Yep." Lukas just enjoying his Ciggerate Smoke.

"I never thought you were a smoker, Lukas." Derrick talks to Lukas.

"Hey, I need some time to wind off. This War is fucking my mind..."

"... Orca agrees with Lukas... It's too tiring..."

"Huh? Even Orca agrees with Lukas..." Charlie was surprised to hear Orca now sharing the same views in the War...
