Supplementary Chapter: Shanghai Storm
(Intense Violence of the very graphic kind that would make Majisuka look like a Disney show)
The Gimaelic raiding ships were floating at minimum speed and altitude on their approach to Shanghai. They were approaching the Chinese city through the Hangzhou bay approach. The ships camoulflage also complemented the stealth capabilities of the ships as they silently glide through fishing boats and cargo barges.
"We're approaching the city lads, get ready!" High King Gewis said. He inspected the gear and weapons of each of his soldiers and men. Human and Broken Lord alike were decked out in new and improved gear if compared to the ones used in Tokyo a few months ago.
"So lord, why are we going to a very invade a country which I have heard rumors that has the largest army in this planet?" said a Gimaelic raider.
"If a country can support a populace of 1 billion people then they obviously have a lot of food to keep it that way. This is the largest city with a coast we can attack from and by Godan there will be mountains of food and loot just waiting for us to plunder." Gewis answered the man's question.
"I hear they have wingless dragons you think we will see one?" another raider asked.
"Don't know but if we do, leave the killing to me. You just run and grab as much loot as you can. And if you can carry, some fresh meat (a prisoner)."
"3 minutes until we arrive at the landing zone my lord." Said the pilot of the ship.
Gewis turns around to finally check himself. He had a shield with the Eadwulf symbols on it, a Dust Francisca axe, a seax knife and a larger axe made from Gimaelic Steel. He then looked at his clothes. Wearing a long sleeved green shirt with gold colored highlights and a GS Lorica wearing over it. The Broken Lord stood out from his commanded forces with his helmet. It was similarly shaped as his son's Rainoric but since he is the High King, there are a few distinctions.
The Helmet had more carved out symbols on the top of the headgear that depicted the story of the Eadwulf and Gimaelic Royal family's founder, Merovech. Also on the top of his helmet was a plume of black colored hair (like the Roman centurion helmets or my avatar in my profile to see what I mean). The helmet/head he was wearing was of course from Merovech and when Rainoric passes is rites he will wear it to become High King of the Gimaelics. But for now, Gewis will enjoy as much as he can before that time comes to pass the torch.
"Fire the burners now!" Gewis ordered.
The technology that the Gimaelics have taken from the Earthlings in Tokyo has made the Gimaelics an even more dreaded force to be in the battlefield. The 'burners' that Gewis ordered to fire were honeycomb-shaped grenade launchers that shoot incendiary missles from range. When they first tested the weapon after violently killing its previous owner (They shoved his head on the rotors of the helicopter the stole while it was turned on). The weapon showed great promise. They retrofitted them into their raiding ships and replaced the ammo with flaming ones. Gewis felt proud of this new innovation as the ground was razed like bonfire when their ships landed.
"Men, LETS KILL SOME HUMANS!" He said like a true barbarian. His men unsheathed their weapons and are now ready to kill the first man they see.
"TE HETA HADA WODAN!" They yelled as the ramp closed.
The scene was fires and corpses and people running away from them (with some being on fire themselves). Thousands and thousands yet to arrive poured into the portwalk of Shanghai. The Chinese were caught by surprise by the thunderous strike of the Gimaelics. And now, let the looting begin!
-------------------------
"This food is mine old man!" A young Sebharii warrior yelled to an elderly farmer. They were having a tug-of-war over a sack of rice. Since the Gimaelic was more physically fit by a longshot, he yanked the bag of the poor grandpa's hands causing the old one to fall down on the floor. The Gimaelic, quick to finish his opponent off by slamming the heavy sack of rice on to the old man's head.
"Bu!" The old man's last words was those before the crushing weight of the sack smashed to his head shedding him off of this mortal coil instantly.
As the Gimaelic looked on to the grisly scene he made with a sadistic smiled. But his tongue tasted that his mouth took a cut during the scuffle. Getting handful of rice from his newly acquired sack, he rubbed his face with the rice. The blood he shed was absorbed by the rice turning the white grains into light red.
"Enjoying Earth aren't you Ybor?" High King Gewis suddenly walked in.
Brushing off blood from his mouth with his arm, Ybor saluted and hailed his king.
"Yes, my lord, its a good thing for me to levy the 'colonists' of Baizan to bolster your strength. I heard my little brother will be going there right now. I can't wait to see Osgar again." Ybor replied.
"Yeah, Boyar Vlado was so kind to help me out. Even though we had some.... problems back then. But pah! That's 300 years ago. I hope he is doing ok. I heard he would wonder off alot like my son's bodyguard Ulrich. Easy to lose that bastard in a crowd."
"Uhm, where is he? I haven't seen him." Ybor said shrugging his shoulder.
"A F*** he is doing something stupid again isn't he?!" Gewis yelled.
-----------------------------------------------------
The PLA were rallying there forces in the center of Shanghai. Tanks, APC's and elite soldiers were scrambling to their feet in the defense of China's most important economic center.
"I can believe that I am saying this. But we need to hold out until the Japanese can send their reinforcements and there new weapon." The PLA General said to his subordinates.
"Sir! We got an Alien just near us!" Said a scout who suddenly interrupted the Chinese military meeting.
"What? They broke through the 1st lines already?" the PLA General asked.
"No, they are saying they haven't seen any of them yet. I think he... uhm it.... snuck around behind."
"Just one? And he is just right in the middle of our defenses? Why haven't you killed him yet?" said a PLA lieutenant
"The men are scared, I can't explain why. You should look for yourself." The scout said with a scared voice of a 10 year old boy on a roller coaster ride.
They generals, commanding officers and other military officials walked outside to investigate this Alien Lone Wolf.
What they saw was hundreds of their soldiers pointing there guns, cannons and bazookas at a single man. Unlike the reports of the description of the raiders being wearing simple wool shirts with 'magic amulets' that makes them immune to bullets and wielding rather unimpressive spears, axes and occasionally a sword, this Alien was wearing armor of the same metal type that was used during the Tokyo attack. The PLA commander now realised why his men are afraid to shoot the man. The Alien was covered head to toe with blood and ashes. He was colored red and with linings of gold adorning his armor. To 'Top' it off, his helmet had 'wings' on his helmet like a Teutonic Knight. He was big and strong looking since he was about 6'5 feet tall and less than a meter wide shoulder to shoulder. He wielded 2 weapons, an axe and a sword, both of which with terrifying serrated edges that had a fresh tasting of blood staining the steel in crimson. But most menacing of all was that he had around his belt, decaying severed heads of people he must have personally slew.
(Basically he is like the Khorne Berserker from Warhammer 40k)
"RRAAAGGGHHH!!!! Too easy.....I expect more....I deserve a challenge!" The menacing man yelled. His eyes grow very brightly with Red Dust indicating he is one of the Gimaelic's 'Demonic Masters' or so says every news outlet in Earth after the Tokyo Raid.
The PLA commander grabbed the microphone hoping to communicate with the Broken Lord.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Why are you attacking us?" He tried to ask.
"*Inhales* I am Boyar Vlado of Tuniki and I want to please my God! You make excellent..... SACRIFICE....." He said demonically.
"Kāihuǒ!" the Commander ordered his men to fire. The PLA forces shot there guns, tank cannons, artillery and all the heavy ordinances at the Red Broken Lord but he just stood there unfazed.
"Pathetic! I will show you.....TRUE POWER!" Vlado pridefully yelled.
He charged towards the PLA taking in all of the gunfire as if it was nothing.
He sank his sword into the torso of hapless soldier and with a flick of his finger, the sword suddenly activated to reveal it was no ordinary custom sword that you would tell a blacksmith to make for you. It was a Chainsaw Sword! Its serrated edges suddenly began to move around the blade. It guttted the man spilling blood all over the concret streets of Shanghai. It scared even the most elite of the PLA soldiers as Boyar Vlado frenzied his way to the PLA leaders.
"Protect the HQ untill NATO arrives!" The PLA commander yelled.
Boyar Vlado whirling dervished the Earth Soldiers with ease spilling their blood all over the streets painting the roads red. No matter howmany Tank Shells he took, grenades pierced or bullets absorbed, Vlado stood like a fortress yet moved as smooth as silk.
"I AM INVINCIBLE!" He yelled.
Then he was suddenly surrounded by hundreds of PLA... yet if he had a body, he would have smirked, expecting a decent challenge of his skills.
----------------------------------
Ybor and Gewis ran through the now burning and ruined skyscrapers of Shanghai. They had just gotten word that several Sebharii's and other Gimaelics report that 'Angels of Death' are causing havoc and slowing down the looting and pillaging of the Chinese city.
"Ok we are in the big towering tree with a ball skewered on it. (Oriental Pearl Tower)" Gewis spoke to Ybor
"They should be around here som---- look out!" Ybor pushed Gewis to the ground, barely dodging a missile intended for him.
Then the 'Angel's of Death' revealed themselves. They had rocket powered (wings) on there backs, a laser katana and a rocket launcher attached to their shoulders. One of them who was wearing a golden colored helmet looked like he was the leader. He and his squad of 20 'Angels' landed on the ground surrounding Gewis, his men and Ybor.
"Alien Scum! The people of Tokyo shall be avenged!" The leader 'Angel' said.
Gewis felt enraged that he was caught in an ambush. His hand glowed white and unstably shake as he straggled back up.
"Your hand!"Ybor exclaimed.
"You want to fight me? THEN LETS GO!" Gewis yelled charging toward's the 'Angels' with his hands still unsheathed.
The 'Angels' countered charged Gewis with their weapons locked towards the warlord.
Gewis hand was just about to explode with Dust when he finally unleashed a blinding white blade from his hand! The light of Gewis 'Exalted Blade' shined as bright as the sun on a summer noon as it burned straight through the armor of the 'Angels' knocking them all back.
"What is this? What kind of witchcraft is this?" 'Angel Lead' asked, he was surprised that he gravely underestimated the Gimaelic.
"He he.... Got this from my wife. Now DIE!" Gewis slashed his 'Exalted Blade which easily cut through the armor of the 'Angels'. Each slashed cut through an 'Angel' killing him or fatally wounding him. Such power seemed godlike to the Earthlings.
"DIE! DEMON!" 'Angel' Lead said raising his laser Katana. But Gewis kicked the 'Angel' knocking him face first to the ground.
At the back of the Angel was a familiar looking flag that Gewis remembered from earlier. It was the great big red dot in the middle of a white canvas flag of Japan. It had seem that Japan has been technologically evolved quickly after the Tokyo attack. But still in the middle of a fight, Gewis stepped on the back of the Angel's leaders and began to pulling the rocket powered wings.
"Trying to avenge the deaths of your people, how noble of you. But alas! *Pulls left wing* You are proven wanting!" Gewis boasted while pulling one of the wings off. The 'Angel' leader screamed in pain as if a part of his body was ripped out violently.
"And now, your world will burn!" Gewis yelled out then ripped the other wing off. The 'Angel' yelped before passing out from all the pain.
Gewis inhaled the air after the exertion from using 'Exalted Blade'. He looked on to see that a large group of Earthlings were witnessing the whole fight happen and he saw the terror in there eyes that he defeated the best of Earth's defenders. They all ran away screaming as Gewis was left alone with the corpses of the Japanese 'Angels' and his men.
"It seem's the Earthlings are trying to fight back. Yet they failed." Ybor walked forward with a few bruises from the fight.
"Impale there corpses and place the poles on the road. Make them fear us." Gewis ordered.
"As you--- hey look over there." Ybor pointed up to the sky. Gewis looked up and saw Helicopters with NATO and UN signs flying above them heading towards the city center.
"They seem to be in a rush." Ybor commented.
"Do you think they are going too.... Vlado! you bumbling idiot!" Gewis ran with Ybor and a split group of his men following him.
--------------------------------------------------------
Violence.....
Violence was a word most Earthlings don't like to see. Yet the Gimaelics revel in bloodshed. A prime example is Boyar Vlado of Tuniki. He is an exiled Gimaelic Nobleman who is infamous for his hot temper. A firm devotee of Red Dust and an admirer of Samhane Haligtide (Rena), Vlado dual wields a serrated axe and a Chainsaw sword native to the island chain he is exiled to of Baizan. The Chainsaw sword was used to shed as much blood as possible to power up Vlado's Red Dust Powers. He is very good with manipulating the inner fluids of a living thing especially blood. His eyes glowed redder even more as he slew another PLA soldier.
"GUT YOU! I GUT YOU ALL!" He yelled sadistically. He was running around the streets of Shanghai killing every person he looked like, soldier and civilian a like.
"What are you!?!" a PLA soldier asked before his body was sawed off from his waist by Vlado's Chainsaw sword. He grabbed the top half of the man and threw him down to the ground. Then with the Broken Lord's crushing weight, smashed his foot on the head of the soldier releasing an explosion of brain mush and blood.
"I am the Pride of Samhane!" He yelled like he was saying an oath of loyalty to his goddess.
As he walked away from the corpse, Vlado soon realised that he was now surrounded by the remnants of the PLA garrison.
"Kill him!" one of them yelled.
They all charged straight at the Broken Lord knowing that there bullets are no use to him. But charging straight towards him recklessly was just what Vlado want them to do. He raised his arm forward and he began to concentrate his Red Dust powers. His eye sockets glowed to the darkest shade of Red as he unleashed his Dust Magics at the soldiers.
Left, right behind and infront of him. The PLA soldiers bodies explode with blood. Some exploded by having there torsos explode like a soda pop while others vomited out blood before writhing down to the concrete floor dying.
"Yes.... BLOOD.....BLOOD.....DEATH.....BLOOD...... HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Vlado laughed, he must have personally slew about 100,000 thousand men today and he will surely gain the credit of everyone back in Baizan.
Then suddenly behind him a strong gust of pushing winds was felt behind him. He turned around to see several Chinook helicopters dropping US Navy Seals, British SAS, Chinese Special forces, JSDF soldiers and they were shocked to see the grisly scene.
"I will KILL you..... Just like them.....then..... your blood shall help me ASCEND....to GODHOOD..... *points Chainsaw sword at the enemy soldiers* my mistress will be pleased with you blood, WORM!" He said.
Those words alone were enough to scare the elite soldiers so much that they all ran back to their Chinook copters with Vlado hot on their heels.
Despite running as fast as he can (and slaying a couple of them as he did) he wasn't able to catch them as the helicopters flew away.
"COME HERE AND DIE YOU COWARDS!" Vlado yelled at the sky as the helicopters became miniscule as distance was greater with every second pass.
Vlado threw a tantrum as he kicked, screamed and cut random objects as he still felt unsatisfied of the number of people he slew.
"Vlado!" A voice rang from the distance. It was Gewis and Ybor.
"GEWIS!!!" Vlado ran towards Gewis now intending to kill him and his own countrymen just to satisfy his bloodlust. But Gewis was anticipating something like this since he brought Gimaels most infamous serial killer to Earth. With the use of his Dust Magics, Gewis formed a magic trap in the form forcefield of a half bubble to imprison Vlado where no one can come in or out.
"Rrrraagghh!!! You lied Gewis, I should just kill you right now!" Vlado angrily said.
"Well you keep killing them so much that they ran away because they don't want to fight you." Gewis tried to reason with Vlado
"They are all cowards! They don't know what it feels like to have their blood spilled out. I am still HUNGRY!" Vlado head became more irrational by the second.
"Look Boyar, maybe you can blow off some steam by destroying some buildings with me." Ybor offered a solution to Vlado
"No, they don't bleed like human scum do. I might as well poke your eyes so hard the bleed out of your sockets. Then I will squish your head like a grape and wet my hands on your blood!" Vlado yelled at Ybor
Just as Gewis could get more frustrated, one of the soldiers he brought came back with news.
"My Lord! The enemy have regrouped and they dug into a theater! Shall we finish them off?"
"Yes, take me with you. See Vlado? Theres more people to kill now. Lets go." Gewis dissipated the forcefield imprisoning Vlado.
"Move quickly! Or else I kill you!" Vlado said following Gewis with Ybor and the other Gimaelics behind the berserker Broken Lord.
------------------
(Ju Jingyi POV)
Ju Jingyi had an average morning today.
It all started just like any week day for the SNH48 ace, wake up, shower, eat breakfast and go to the Theater at the corner of Jianxing Road (I consulted Google maps and that is where the theater is) and practice her singing and dancing skills. After coming up in 2nd place in the Chinese Senbatsu last year, Kiku-chan or her nickname among the 48 girls fans was now more determined to win Center position in the next Senbatsu.
But today was not going to be an average they. First there were news reports, the blaring noises of sirens coming from the People's Fire Brigade and police force, explosions and people coming into the theater with wounds. She tried to help her fellow countrymen by keeping them calm and applying first aid but soon more people rushed in. And by people, I mean injured PLA soldiers and their still unscathe comrades.
"Wǒ chūxiě!"
"Wǒ bùxiǎng sǐ diào!"
"Wǒ de tuǐ!" So yelled the people around her.
Some of the people she tried to help died a few minutes later traumatizing the SNH girls of the horrors of war. The Alien menace looks like they can't be stopped by even an alliance of all of Earth's militaries with her country China at the forefront.
"We need more bandages. I will go out and get some." Ju Jingyi volunteered herself.
"Ok, be quick I don't want another person to die in here." Said the theater's manager Jianjun said while using some traditional Chinese medicinal herbs on the wounds of the injured.
But as Kikuchan walked out of the doors of the theater she immediately saw a horde of Gimaelic raiders closing in on the theater.
"Human Scum! I will have your head on my waist!"
"The girl's ass is mine!"
"My blade is itching to cut you open!" Said the Gimaelic raiders.
Her nation's army who were patrolling the perimeter of the theater when they saw the Gimaelic Raiders and began to open fire at them. Ju quickly ran back inside to a now even more terrified crowd.
"We are all going to die!" one of them panicked.
"Calm down! We need to keep calm. They only just want us to panic." Jianjun stood up. He was like a father to Ju since her father left her mother before she decided to become an Idol. The 2 bonded like father and daughter with Jianjun always protecting her and giving her life advice for her outside Idol life like a Confucian scholar. She and the other SNH girls can rely on him for help.
Then the doors suddenly began to make shaking vibrations and noise.
"Heave! Heave! Heave!" a Gimaelic sounding voice was heard. They must have overpowered the PLA soldiers and now the people in the theater are next. Some of the people inside the theater and the PLA who were fortified there placed themselves behind the door to counter the Gimaelic pushes.
Ju Jingyi with her weak frame hid behind the ticket counter hiding from the carnage and violence that was ensuing.
"Geh raus! Geh raus!" the Gimaelic voices shouted. Then just as it began, the pushing and heaving stopped.
For awhile, both Jianjun and Ju Jingyi were relieved for a moment.
"We need to get out of here as soon as we can." Jianjun said holding out his hand to Ju Jingyi. But as she held her adopted father's hand, great flames appeared behind him. Feeling the heat behind his back, he knelt down with Ju Jingyi and shielded her from the infernal storm.
----------------------------------
"There! No time wasted Im a genius ain't I?" Vlado said while carrying the honeycomb shaped grenade launchers. He resourcefully grabbed them from the wings of one of their raiding ships. The incendiary grenades burned through the doors with ease and the theater was like the iron boxes that they would put prisoners into and burn it.
"Ok lads, scavenge as much as you can carry and get back to the ship. We are out of here. My lord, you seemed rather calm." Ybor said
Gewis was looking at the burning theater seeing it slowly crumble. As he observed the exterior he saw that the banner ontop of the theater said "SNH48".
'48', where did he saw that before? It felt familiar to him, but he just can't remember. Gewis turned around, heading back to the ship when he heard the sounds of footsteps behind him. He pulled out his seax and turned around to see who was behind him.
It was the charred up young girl. Her face was burny and her eyes were swollen shut. Her white dress had ashes staining them and she looked so weak and pitiful at her state. The girl fell down into the arms of the High King of the Gimaelics and touched the face of his helmet/head.
Then he remembered something from his past that he wished to forget as if the memories of 'that day' played through his head.
(Flashback)
About 1700 years ago...
Gewis was in a cathedral-like building and it was on fire. He was carrying on his white robed cladded human woman who was lying down on the floor, she was pregnant and her abdomen where the baby should be was bleeding.
"Promise me Gewis....take care of Rain....oric.... for me....." She begged to Gewis. Her bleeding hand held his face. A sad smile and several tears were expressed on her face.
"Yes...Sophia...... I .....But how will they....." Gewis said before he was interrupted by Sophia.
"He is destined for great things my love......It doesn't matter if he is half Human and Broken Lord. What matters is WHO he WILL BE...... Not what he is....." Sophia told Gewis.
Gewis was saddened by seeing Sophia and their hybrid child both dying in there arms. But he knows that he could only save his son and Sophia know this well.
Gewis, mustering all of his Dust Arcane power, collected the soul of his unborn child from Sophia's womb and gently laid her down. With the soul of the future of his nation literally at the palm of his hands. Gewis looked down to his wife, friend, teacher, advisor and greatest woman he had ever known slowly succumbing to her wounds.
"Avenge US ALL...." Sophia said with her dying breath.
Gewis then heard knocking at the door, it was his enemies. He quickly turned around and ran not before looking one last time at Sophia.
(End Flashback)
Gewis stares down at the dying girl on his arms.
"No... I am not going to relive the same mistakes I have made again." Gewis said to the girl.
He held out his palm on top of the burnt girl's charred face and healed her 3rd degree burns and wounds. The girl suddenly inhaled and shook from the grasps of his hands.
"Fùqīn shì wǒmen sǐle?" the woman said in the Chinese tongue which Gewis doesn't understands.
"Shh, miss its ok, your ok now. Im here to help you." Gewis said to the girl.
"I ...am....blind.... I can't see...." The girl said when she felt her eyes can't open to see who her savior was.
"Its ok, I can help you....I.... remember something like this long ago....I don't want it to happen again." Gewis said before raising the girl with his hands in a lover's carry.
He then walked to the ramp of a now ready-to-take-off ship. His men noticed he was carrying a barely alive girl but wouldn't dare question him.
"Hey, lady, What's your name?" Gewis asked the girl.
"Ju Jingyi xiansheng. Thank you whoever you are. Are we going to a helicopter?" the girl asked.
"Uhm...yeah....with wings. I can take you to someone who can help you, you have my word and dying breath." Gewis vowed.
They entered the ship and then the ramp closed. The ship rose off the ground and too off leaving a ruined, burning and looted Shanghai and a Disarray UN forces defeated.
(END)
I have decided to add Ju Jingyi of SNH48 to my story! I don't see any SNH48 fanfics in this forum so I would like to pioneer them starting with the Kanna Hashimoto of China (or as said by this Rocket News article:
