Chapter 3

[Camp Fuji- Medical tent - 1157HRS]

Busy working in the medical tent, Private José Helens of the US Marine Corp was feeling more and more stressed by wrapping yet another bandage over an Australian soldiers head as he received an unfortunate 'Accident' with a particular JGSDF personnel. But this wasn't the first patient from this 'accident'. not long after the fiasco in training Helens was strictly ordered to stay in the medical tents to perform medical duties.

"What is going on in training?!" The Hispanic Marine loudly mutters as more Australians was arriving in large numbers.

An Australian soldier faces the Hispanic marine and answers. "A petite Japanese chick messed us up..." he gritted his teeth in discomfort as the pain on his left shoulder slowly intensity. Helens looks down to see the Soldier's arm only to widen his eyes in surprise but kept his cheeky smile. He'd seen much worse in his experience in Afghanistan, much, much worse.

"Ok, it just a little dislocation to the cartilage." He moves towards the right shoulder. "Right, hold still..." Applying pressure to the shoulder until the shoulder gave a loud popping should. The Australian soldier gritted his face in pain as his shoulder was put back into its socket by a young Corpsman.

Wrapping yet another bandage, he faces away to see another corpsman on the opposite side of the tent to see a honey blonde female who was performing the same job as José. It was Private Alice Addison. Giving his partner a small wave and shouted: " Could you pass be a spare bandage, Addison?"

Private Alice Addison gave the is Hispanic marine her usual cold glare, but Helen only gave a joyful chuckle. Finishing wrapping the Soldiers, she tossed the roll of bandage to the Hispanic Corpsman.

"Thanks, Partner." he imitated a Texan accent.

Displace and annoyed, the blonde corpsman sighed, "Your welcome... Idiot." She said the last line with venom. Private Alice may be the newest troop to be assigned to the squad but already, she'd never once appreciated Helen's presence due to his annoying attitude, it almost like theirs no off switch for his stupid jokes and that annoying laugh. She can't believe the commander had made her be this idiot's Assistant.

She would often question her company commander on why Helens is even allowed to operate in the medical field? For god sakes, this idiot does even know the difference between a tweezer and a clamp! And what's more shocking is that Instead of discharging him, the Company commander has made various rules for Helens to follow.

Looking at his partner closely, Helens swore he could see the veins from her red face as she raised her fist to punch the Hispanic marine but realising that many Australian soldiers were watching from the sidelines. Alice calmed down and quickly maintained her professional discipline. All she wishes is to get out of this tent.

Suddenly an alarm was sounded, "ATTENTION TO ALL PERSONNEL! All training is hereby aborted! All personnel must report back to the main base immediately!"

From the entrance of the tent, an American Marine with the rank of Lieutenant burst in and gave his two marines a Serious look. "Addison! Helen! We got a situation."

The two medics looked at each other with confusion and followed him out to the motor pool. Currently, the base was on full alert and many soldiers were rushing into the nearest APC, logistic trucks, helicopter, or anything the could transport them so they could be deployed somewhere, just what's going on?

Helens came by his Commander's side and curiously asked, "Lieutenant, what's going on?"

The commander stoically looked at his young corpsman and coldly replied, "Ginza..." the Response caught the two marines off guard. Both looked at each other with further confusion on their faces and mentally asked, 'Who would be attacking Japan?'

"What the hell is going on?" A Webïrúian by the name of 2nd Lieutenant Jacob Frankin asked as he took a position with the rest of his team in front of an IFV.

"We don't know, L-T," One of his crewmates, Corporal Kabul Valentia replied. "Haven't heard anything."

"Holy SHIT!", Sergeant Quebec spat out, just as a pair of F-15Js screamed overhead and out of the base. "The Airforce? Why are they heading toward Tokyo?" he commented, just as the sounds of helicopters began to fill the air. "You don't think this is part of the exercise?"

"ATTENTION!" General Hugo Shepard announced as he entered the motor pool to address the entire motor pool. "Ok... this will sound like a whole lot of shit but about half an hour ago Ginza was attacked by unknown forces! Hundreds of civilians have been killed, We need to move now!"

"Who the fuck would be attacking Tokyo?!" Shouted an American Marine.

"China's attacking?! Or is it those Russians? We should've not let them in the first place."

"It could just be Wizards!" Helens shouted but was rewarded by an elbow to the stomach by Alice.

"All we know that the Japanese government has declared a state of emergency and all troops from Operation Round table to move out!" the General replied. "We have permitted to engage the enemy force and rescue any civilians that have been caught in the warzone! Time is at an essence people, Mount up and move out!"

"Yes sir!" Everyone shouted and rushed to their armoured vehicle and rushed to the city of Tokyo.

Itami ran as fast as he can to the exit, only to find many people doing the same thing. when he got to the streets he could see many people getting slaughter by some people clad in Medieval armour and clothing. "Damn... If this doesn't stop.." he vaulted across a pole and continues, "The summer doujinshi sale and Exhibit... WILL BE CANCELED!!!"

Itami rushed out of the building as he saw panic grip the people. He saw a woman cowering behind a street post when he rushed over to her.

"Come on, you can't stay here, they'll get you." He said trying to get her up, the young woman looking terrified.

Next to Itami then saw a pair of police cars crashed with the officers cowering while one fired a revolver, knocking one of the cavalrymen off his horse. The soldier grunted as he got up and ran at the policeman who froze up before being cut down by a Dagger.

As the soldier tried to slash at the others, Itami grabbed his arm and flipped the soldier over him, locking his left arm around his neck as the man struggled to break free before the young man managed to get the soldier's knife and stabbed him with it.

"Are you all right?!"

As the soldier tried to slash at the others, Itami grabbed his arm and flipped the soldier over him, locking his left arm around his neck as the man struggled to break free before the young man managed to get the soldier's knife and stabbed him with it.

"Are you all right?!"

From the distance a young archer saw his comrade who was stabbed by the man, he took aim but for he could fire he was tackled down another man.

"Itami duck!" Theo launched himself into Itami, tackling him to the floor. Then an arrow flew by and bounce of the police car. Itami looks to the side to see Tej beating up another Medieval soldier before dragging him to the police officer.

"All yours office." he tossed the young man like a ragdoll towards the police officer.

"JUST WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" Itami shouted like a lunatic.

"Pipe down Itami! goddamit!" Tej shouted, "All we know is that an Army of Medieval terrorists slaughter everything in sight!" Tej took a heavy sigh. "Just get those people to safety Itami. Me, Scarlet, and the twins will search for more."

"But where could be evacuated all of the people to?" Scarlet asked.

"The imperial palace!" Itami answered

Itami's fun day off was officially ruined. Instead of enjoying a Doushinji convention, he was working with the Tej and his crew to protect civilians from an enemy army that looked like it came from a fantasy world.

"For a nation with Immense skills in architecture, they fail in defending themselves?" General Calais muttered to himself, as more and more of his army flowed through the Gate and into the city whiles seeing the many captured locals from this side of the gate while pillaging anything that seems valuable. So far their expedition was going far better than he could ever hope, as his men had march unopposed into this metropolis of a city.

He could also hear some sobbing from the men, women and children that his brave men have captured and brought back. The Otherworlder's men look fit and healthy and would make a good labour slave. And for the women..... Most of the women are like a goddess, they look awfully beautiful, maybe he could add some of them to his personal Harem that he dreamt of every night.

From the reports he was getting, there was still no signs of any enemy legion or signs that a counter-attack was imminent. Other than some local militia that his army has easily breeze through with minor problems, he's still curious about what kind of army he'll be facing. But as he looked at reinforcement that he ordered, the General simply laugh off the thought of a possible defeat. So far they had managed to set up a large camp around the Gate, a rather large one too, and yet there was still no news about any enemy forces approaching. If the momentum of the attack keeps going at this rate, then this city would be subdued by noon.

"I could see their defeat slowly coming. By the end of the day, there will be only one victor! US! The Saderan Empire! For His majesty and the empire he commands, Long live the Empire!" The general said in an almost arrogant tone.

"Long live the Empire!" his men parroted.

"And by the bless of Flare, we will be victorious men!"

Or so he thought...
