[Inside another chamber in the temple.]

Alicia: Whoa...I don't know what I expected, but it really wasn't this!

Faldio: Amazing, isn't it? I was surprised when I first came here too.

Alicia: It's...there aren't any windows or skylights in here, but it's still so light.

Faldio: The ruins are made of stone with a high ragnite concentration. It lights
itself.

Alicia: It's uncanny.

Welkin: Look at this. Something's written on the wall here.

Faldio: It's in Old Northern Script.

Welkin: Old Northern?

Faldio: It was the dominant writing system in Europa. You still see it on a lot
of old monuments.

Alicia: Do you know how to read it, Faldio?

Faldio: Yeah. We just covered it this last year. Let's take a look. (looking
at the script) It's more or less a recounting of the Darcsen Calamity as the history books tell it. The Darcsens unlocked some secret property of ragnite
and tried to conquer the continent. "A hundred cities razed its fell light;
ten hundred thousand men and beast therewith." It says this area used to be one
of the cities lost in that purge as well.

Alicia: So they did use ragnite...

Faldio: It was in the middle of that destruction that the Valkyrur suddenly came
into the picture. Supposedly they rose to face the Darcsens, armed with sacred
lances blue with flame. That became the War of the Valkyrur.

Alicia: I had a picture book about that as a girl. But it's fiction, right? Like
a fairy tale.

Faldio: Ruins like these dot the Europan map, traces of the culture that once
ruled the continent. The majority of the anthropological community now agrees
that the Valkyrur did exist.

Welkin: Wow, this is so educational!

Keith:Indeed it is… 

Faldio: The Valkyrur won and rose to power, while the Darcsens were scattered
across Europa. There are some who worship the Valkyrur as the saviors of Europa
even today. Meanwhile, the Darcsens got branded with the stigma of their past
and were persecuted. With no land of their own, they had to work as itinerant
laborers and ragnite miners.

Welkin: Which is why there are so many Darcsens still working in the industrial
sector today.

Alicia: I never knew that...come to think of it, Isara's dad was an engineer, wasn't he?

Faldio: Anyway, that's enough history for today. Let's keep checking for Imperial tracks.

[Outside in the Barious Desert.]

Largo: I been lookin', but I still ain't seen nothin' but sand. Those Imps got
some strange tastes if they're sunnin' themselves out here.

[Rosie broods.]

Largo: What's got you, Rosie? Ain't like you to be so quiet. You got the runs
or something?

Rosie: You're foul, Largo. And I'm just annoyed. Takes some kinda brass to blow
up a chunk of turf this big, don't ya think? Looks like the dark-hairs have been
bad news for the rest of us folks since day one.

Isara: What do you mean by that?

Rosie: Pfft! What do you think I mean? 

Isara: No archeological proof exists to support the theory that Darcsens
destroyed Barious.

Rosie: Look around! How much more proof do you need?

Isara: And it's an unfair generalization to assume that all Darcsens cause
trouble for others.

Rosie (incensed): You sayin' you don't? Look, it's 'cause you people that I...
that my whole--

Largo: All right. Time out, you two.

Rosie: You stay outta this, Largo!

Largo: We're on patrol here. You keep squawkin' and we're likely to get sniped.

[Rosie angrily hisses and storms off.]

Largo: You too, kid. You know Rosie's got a temper on her. She wouldn't go off
if you didn't talk back.

Isara: I don't believe anything I've said is untrue.

Largo: Sigh...stubborn as mules, both of ya.

Ellet:Excuse me, Capt. Aiden?

Aiden:Yeah? What is it?

Ellet:may i ask some questions?

Aiden:Sure i guess?

1st Lt. 221 September Jr. & Capt. Jack September:

Ellet:1) i wanna know what is the JTF?

Aiden:The JTF is the Joint-TaskForce made out of Multinational Units from each of our Nations.

Ellet:okay, now 2) what country do you live?

Aiden:The United American Continents, UAC for short.

Ellet:Okay, i heard a little from Welkin, but i needed information from the source, 3) why are your tanks and vehicles don't have radiators? And why is the JTF doesn't use Ragnite? 

Aiden:Sorry classified…

Ellet:Classified? Oh come on please? I need to know! 

Aiden:I said Classified… please understand that some of us JTF Units are ordered by our Commanding Officer that we aren't permitted to expose sensitive military secrets.

Ellet:Ah dang it! 

Aiden:Not to worry, My CO can fill you in as he can give you permission to interview us once the time is right… if you ever do something stupid by posting any thing mentioning us… then we'll have to… DELETE you… Permanently…

221 September Jr.:

Ellet:*Gulps* i understand...

Aiden:Good... Better be.

David:Aiden, Just got word from Fox

Aiden:What is it?

David:We gotta reposition, not from not retreating, we gotta go long range of 800 to 1000.

Aiden:Got it. Let's get to Walker and move out. Ellet were bringing you along, we know how Fox is cunning, and we know what kind of moves he can pull.

Ellet:Well at least i can get some firepower scoops!

[The JTF Tanks and Vehicles move out]
_________________________________________

[Inside the temple. Welkin is looking at a strange circular hatch in the wall.]

Welkin: Faldio, what is that?

Faldio: It's called the Valkyrian Spiral. 

Welkin: Okay, so...what is it?

Faldio: I was talking about their power before, remember? The sacred blue flame?
The spiral motif on their relief carvings are said to represent inexhaustible power.

Welkin: Ah, I didn't know that.

Faldio: Still we haven't seen any Imperials here. Not even any signs of entry.
I guess it's possible that this wasn't what brought the Empire out here.

Welkin: Well, the others are waiting. Let's go back

Faldio: Sure, let's go.

[Alicia walks over to the circular hatch and touches it. Instantly the spiral
retreats, opening to a hidden chamber.]

Alicia: Huh?!

Keith:!?

Faldio: What in the...?

Welkin: Alicia, what just happened?

Alicia: I-I don't know! I barely even touched it and this door just opened!

Conrado:You must have found a hidden key.

Welkin: It looks like it keeps going.

Faldio: An underground chamber in the Barious ruins...this is a huge discovery!

Alicia: Should we go in?

Faldio: Do you have to ask?

Welkin: All right, let's take a look.

Keith:On guard.

[It is dark. Welkin and Feldio hold flashlights, while Keith, Tony, and Conrado have their NVG's turn ON (The Combat Glasses have NVG) as well as the T-Dolls.]

Welkin: Whoa...what IS this place?

[It is a vast staircase winding down.]

Alicia: It seems like it goes on forever.

[They walk down the staircase. Faldio stops and shines his light on the wall.]

Faldio: Wow, look at this wall! Amazing! There are engravings everywhere!

Welkin: What do they say, Faldio?

Faldio: I'm not sure. I wish I could tell you. They're too ancient for me to decipher.

[Alicia walks to the edge and gazes down the staircase while Keith's Fox Ears perk up picking up a sound and then Concealing it's Ears and Tails.]

Alicia: Welkin. We're not...alone.

Keith:Two of them

Faldio: Who's there?

[It is Max and Selvaria. Selvaria bears a lance.]

Max: Well...how surprising to find you here. We don't get many visitors.
I won'd ask how you were able to break in. It's not really important, but you
defile this sanctum with your presence.

[Max and Selvaria walk past.]

Faldio: Uh guys, that's Maximilian.

Alicia: Maximilian? But he's the enemy commander.

[She pulls out a pistol and aims it at Max.]

Alicia: Hold it right there! You take one more step and I'll shoot you down! I
swear I will!

[Max stops. Selvaria whirls around and starts to glow bright blue.]

Alicia: Uh...what?!

[The JTF does nothing]

Max: Lower your weapon. Your lives are worthless to me, but I do not
want to stain this sacred place with blood. If you are determined to have this
confrontation, why don't we settle it outside?

Alicia: Welkin...

Max: Welkin? So...you're the brat who's responsible. My compliments for the Vasel bridge and the base in Kloden. You've quite impressed Jaeger, he was singing your praises, boy. As for you… i don't recognize you, you and your Comrade's Attire as well as the Emblems… who are you…?

[Keith grins inside]

Keith:Ah… well then… let me properly introduce myself… My name is Wilhelm V R. Von Hohenzollern… and just like you, Emperor Maximilian, i too am an Emperor or should i say… Kaiser…

Max:An Emperor… no wonder why my soldiers kept on spouting about different attire and equipment… you were the reason, and yet… i am also impressed that you too also have the bravery to be in the field… however, this is where our small chat ends. Selvaria, come.

[Selvaria stops glowing.]

Selvaria: Sir!

[They walk off.]

Alicia: Now's our chance to take out their commander!

Welkin: She's right, Faldio. Let's go!

Faldio: Uh, right!

Tony:Boss?

Keith:Reposition. Move out.
____________________________________

-Outside of the temple-

Welkin: That tank is our target! We have to stop it! Squad 7, move out!

Keith:<Welkin, I'm afraid you and your Squad are on your own on this one.>

Welkin:<What do you mean?>

Keith:<Not to worry, were setting up a weapon… sorry Welkin but you have to disable that tank while we have our own guns on the Trigger… try to disable it.>

Welkin:<got it…>
_________________________________________

Max: Heh heh heh... Now dear Gallians, flee or be crushed underfoot of 
the Batomys!

Selvaria: Your Grace, I will eliminate the forces east of the temple, then 
return to provide support. 

Max: Very well, though I doubt I shall require your assistance. The 
Batomys shall rest atop their riven camp before long.

[On the other side of the battlefield...]

Alicia: Welkin...take a look at that tank!

Largo: Holy...with armor like that, I don't figure my anti-tank lance'll do much
good.

Rosie: And I don't like the look of that cannon. Standing in front of that 
thing's a bad idea.

Welkin: Let's watch and wait for now. It has to have some kind of weak
point.

[The Batomys is a massive tank, equipped with machine gun turrets on all sides
and main cannons on its front and rear. Not only this, but it is also 
accompanied by infantry support. Despite the Squad 7's best efforts, their 
attacks are about as weak as pebbles. The Batomys storms easily towards the
Gallian camp.]

Max (laughing): Capturing a camp is for the feeble. A needless bother 
when it can be crushed outright!

Welkin: Grr...he's just gonna mow our camps down!

Varrot (radio): Keep your head, Lieutenant. That desert is covered by parts of 
standing ruins. If you shell unstable walls, fragments may fall and block the 
enemy's progress.

Welkin: Roger that...I'll give it a try!

Varrot: The team east of the temple is in bad shape. Some woman is sending up
some major fireworks. At this rate, they'll be forced to withdraw.

Welkin: I understand. We'll try to hold our ground here. All right, let's slow
thatt behemoth down with as much rubble as we can throw in front of it!

[Welkin and his lancers set about blasting the ruins in front of them to block
the Batomys' progress. While it has to use its cannon to blast apart the rubble
in front of it, the Edelweiss and lancers methodically destroy each of the
Batomys' machine gun turrets. When the Batomys fires its cannon, its radiator 
boxes open up, exposing them.]

Welkin: Augh...that main cannon is lethal! There must be a way to stop that 
thing!

Isara: Welks, look at that!

Welkin: What are those? They're sticking up out of the top of the tank.

Isara: They're radiators. Heat sinks for dissipating the temperature of the
ragnite fuel cell. They must be using them to cool the cannon after firing it.
Welks, if we destroy them, it could greatly upset the tank's stability and
control.

Welkin: All right, let's try it. We just need to get to those radiators after
the cannon fires.

Isara: They're positioned atop the tank, so ground units will need to climb the
ladders.

Welkin: Okay. We've got to take out the guns and get troops onto that tank!

[With most of the Batomys' infantry support eliminated, Squad 7 manages to get
a Gallian troop up the ladder to toss a grenade into a radiator box, destroying
it. The other radiators retract back in and the flaps close over them.]

Welkin: That leaves two radiators! Keep it up, 7s!

Varrot (radio): Lieutenant. Squads 1 and 3 have suffered heavy losses out east.
I'm pulling them out.

Faldio (radio): Welkin...it's me, Faldio. I'm sorry, but we couldn't do a thing
against her. She had a spiral lance and shield. They...they were the arms of a
Valkyria, Welkin.

Varrot (radio): It's likely her unit will be arriving there soon, as backup. Do
not, I repeat, do not engage her. Now hurry up and stop that tank!

Welkin: Understood! We need those radiators out NOW, 7s!

[The Gallians take down another ruin, which the Batomys is forced to blast away.
In doing so its radiators are exposed again. By climbing the ladder and tossing
another grenade, they destroy another radiator, after which they retract back
in.]
_________________________________________

[Selvaria's reinforcements storm onto the battlefield. SELVARIA is wielding the
Valkyrian lance and shield.]

Selvaria: Lord Maximilian...

[She raises her weapons and glows bright blue.]

Selvaria: Cobalt flames of the Valkyrur, smite our foes!

[Her lance extends, and her shield expands.]

Selvaria: All forces! There stands Gallia...claim her!

[The Imperials charge with a war cry.]

WELKIN: Rah...backup forces have arrived. If the reports are true, we can't 
beat it. Everyone, focus on that last radiator!

[Welkin's infantry holds off Selvaria's as they crumble more ruins in front of
the Batomys. Selvaria fires blue flames at the infantry, and she is impervious
to gunfire. The Batomys fires again, exposing its last radiator. Squad 7 manages
to slip an infantry up the ladder past Selvaria, destroying the last radiator
with another grenade.]

Welkin: All right! That's the last of the radiators!

Max: Rragh! Presumptuous little vermin!

Selvaria: Your Grace! Are you all right?

Max: Fine. The tank itself is perfectly intact, though not for long at
this rate.

Selvaria: Understood. I'll be there momentarily, sir.

Welkin: The enemy tank has been damaged. That should also impair its defenses,
7s. Everybody, concentrate fire on that tank! Take it down!

[The Edelweiss and the lancers pour rocket fire onto the Batomys, finally
destroying it's guns.]

Max: Rgh...the Batomys, lost to this rabble...

Selvaria: Your Grace! Are you injured?

Max: Selvaria, plans for the Marmota must be adjusted to account for 
these failures.

Selvaria: In due time, Grace! You're in danger here. My men will see you to
safety.

Welkin: Yes! We managed to beat that thing back!

Varrot (radio): Nice work out there, Lieutenant! I've sent the rest of the
eastern team to join you there.

Isara: Welks, the enemy forces have begun to retreat!

Welkin: Then it's our turn to advance! Don't let Maximilian get away!
_________________________________________

[The Imperials start to retreat, but without any cover they are being cut
down by Gallian infantry. The retreat soon turns into a disorderly rout.]

Selvaria: You cowards! Reform your ranks at once!

[A tank shell comes flying through, and SELVARIA barely manages to block it
with her shield. Welkin, his squad, and additional tank and infantry support
pull over on the ridge.]

Welkin: Ready...fire!

[A Gallian tank fires at Selvaria. With a fierce cry she swats the shell away
with her lance, and it explodes in midair.]

Alicia: Did you see that? She deflected a tank shell.

Welkin: Such power...

Selvaria: Hmm...I see Gallia's peasant army has the will to win...all units!
Retreat! Protect His Grace at all costs!

[She walks away with the rest of her troops.]

Max:Damn those Malitias, and that Welkin… 

Selvaria:Lord Maximilian, please rest…

Max:I will remember this lost Gallians…

Selvaria:Wait… wasn't there the so called JTF?

Max:There is… but i do not seen them anywhere… where could they be?

Keith (Radio):Oh my, now i am quite relieved that you didn't forgot about us

[Max and Selvaria Looks at their Comms in shock]

Selvaria:He has intercepted our Communications!

Max:Am i perhaps wrong that you are brave or a coward?

Keith (Radio):No… i've been waiting for you and Your Army to be in my trap…

Selvaria:Trap?!

Keith (Radio):Please Accept our souvenirs

[Somewhere 1000 meters]

A pack of Tanks have Volley up, bunches of [Panzer IVs Ausf. H and J, Panther IIIs, Tiger Is, Tiger IIs StuG III Ausf. G, M4A3A2 Shermans, M26 Pershings, M18 Hellcats, M1A2 Abrams, Puma IFVs, Marder IFVs, Boxer IFVs, Bradleys, Stryker (Dragoon), LAV-25, and 1 Humvee]

Keith:Aim!!! ... ... ... FIRE!!!

Multiple Imperial Tanks were hit by the Barrage of Fire by the JTF, as the Abrams land 5 Critical Hits on the Batomys with APFSDS and HEAT Shells, Making the Botomys Critical Damage more than the Lupus, as Max has been wounded by the Shrapnel of the HEAT.

Max:Guhhhh!!!

Selvaria:Your grace?!

Max:That bastard! *Coughing*

Selvaria (Anger):That Scum!! All units! Contact at 3 o' clock! Protect his grace! Attack!!!

[The Imperial Army began charging towards the JTF Positions with a Battle Cry]

Keith:<Katsumoto>

Katsumoto:<Yes sir?>

Keith:<I see Imperial Army charging at us, do you see it?>

Katsumoto:<Yes sir>

Keith:<I don't want to anymore>

Katsumoto:

MANY Imperial Infantry were cut down by the Devastating M134 Quad Mount... the Imperial Army Unit was reduced to small numbers... it caused fear...

Max:Retreat!

Selvaria:Retreat!!!

The Imperial Army retreats faster
_________________________________________

Keith:All Units, Cease fire... that should be enough for our intro... let's get back to Squad 7 and report.

The JTF packs up and leaves the Position.
_________________________________________

Faldio: We drove the Empire back, but not without sustaining heavy casualties
ourselves.

Welkin: We never though the commander of the entire Imperial force would be
there.

Alicia: Not just the commander. Maximilian had that woman with him. What was 
she? I can't believe she's human.

Faldio: In her hands borne cobalt lance and shield, therewith to strike down
all man's arrows...

Alicia: What?

Faldio: One account of the Valkyrur describes them in those terms.

Alicia: You can't mean that she's...? But they existed thousands of years ago.
If they'd survived, we'd know!

Faldio: I'm not saying I buy all the legends, either. I realize that it sounds
a little crazy...

Welkin: But what we saw out there could only have been the Valkyria of legend.

Alicia: I know...

Faldio:Wait… anyone seen the JTF?

Welkin:No… Keith said he and the JTF had to go somewhere far and wants me to try to disable the tank… but… where was he?

Isara:JTF!! 4 o' clock!!

Alicia:Speak of the Devil.

[JTF Vehicles arrived]

Welkin:Keith! Where have you guys been?

Keith:Sorry Welks, We had to do a bit of change of plans.

Varrot:Change of plans?

Dustin:Ambush the retreating Imperial Army

[Gallians were shocked]

Alicia:You ambushed the retreating force?! But that woman was there! How?!

Conrado:We were 1000 meters away, we had the perfect spot for long range kills.

Faldio:How did you manage to inflict casualties?

Keith:Long Range Fire and MG Fire.

Varrot:Any proof? 

Ellet:Right here!

Alicia:You were with them?!

Ellet:Yup! And got some good scoops and action!

Tony:We have footage, and ask questions later.

[The JTF plays a Footage of the ambush]

Many Gallians were shock to see and witness the firepower of the JTF and the Devastating M134 Quad Mount.

Alicia (Shock):Holy… 

Varrot (Fear):........

Welkin:That's quite overkill…

Faldio:You guys actually did it… (Mind) Is it just me or are these Guys of the JTF got more Powerful Weapons than the Valkyrie?.

Keith:Anyways, Get your injured near our Support humvee, or Medics can heal your units.
