Chapter 2 - That was no dream

Captain Moore wakes to pounding at his Door "come in." The captain says

The door opens and Sergeant major Collins walks in. "sir did you have a dream of a mysterious woman and did she say something about being teleported to another world."

The bed sheets next to the captain Moore move. this doesn't go unnoticed by the Sergeant. "sir what is that next to you."

The captain looked to the left of him on the bed. The captain threw the covers off his bed to reveal a girl that looked no older than 16. she had silver hair with crimson ends her eyes are bright red and her figure is small and slim. she wears a black tungsten ring on her ring finger and a silky black nightgown. the Sargent looks at the girl with horror in his eyes as she glares at him. after a moment he is able to gather his thoughts enough to speak his mind. "Sir, that's the Mysterious woman, what is she doing in your bed?"

Captain Moore raises his hand and rubs his temples exposing his black tungsten ring on his ring finger. The moment the Sergeant released the rings are the same hundred thoughts raced through his mind. but one stood out thus he asked the question in mind. "Sir, if I may ask, are you married to her."

Before the captain could say a word the goddess spoke up. "yes he is my beloved husband yesterday was our wedding day."

She wraps her hands around his waist and Barres her head in his chest. The display of affection makes the Sargent uneasy "sir.. ah… the men have questions. and some I'm not able to answer. and my lady would you help him."

"Ok give me and Alice a few minutes to get ready."

The Sargent left Captain Moore and his new wife in their room to get ready. A few minutes later the door opens and captain Moore walks out of his room and clinging to his arm is Alice he steps out of the Bacricks. and Humvees are speed down the road and 2 M-41 tanks follow close behind. the captain yells at one of the tank commanders that is turned out " hey what's going on where are you going." the tank commander tells the captain. "We are all gathering at the air strip like the woman in our dreams said." The captain looks down at his arm with an appreciative smile where his wife was trying to hide behind his arm. " Hey, do you think we can get a lift?" the captain said. the commander nodes his head with approval and the captain climbs up and sits atop of the turret of the tank next to the commander's hatch he helps Alice up to the turret where she sits down next to Moore within a few minutes they arrive at the airfield where over 1,300,000 soldiers stand talking and waiting for someone of authority to start to relay thare status. captain Moore walks up to the stage and tapps on the microphone to get everyone's attention "ahem** well ladies and gentlemen I can't explain how we got here or the means of how but we are here and it my surprise I'm the highest in the military hierarchy that is here I'm only used to commanding a few units but now I'm running the hole show so I hope you can be patient with me as I get better at being a commander and a superior officer now that's seiad time for the important information well we are in another world monsters run rampant. and the entire world is at war with itself. We are here to stop the senseless slaughter. We are keepers of peace and peacemakers. When the world is at peace once again you all can go home. That is our mission as for supply's we will be resupplied by the goddess who sent us here with ammo and fuel. Sargent Collins put a few corporals in charge of keeping our resources in check. As for our first priority, which is to gain intelligence on the kingdoms that surround us, we may have the technology to over power one kingdom. but we will lose if they all attack at once. I would like to talk to people in any villages or towns nearby to see what they think of their king. By the way, if you are wondering, the goddess of death summoned us here and she told me that if we don't worship her we will not get our supplies now." A young private stepped forward and he looked no older than 17. "Sir who is that next to Sargent Collins."

"That is my wife, we have been married for a while now but I've been secretive about it because of how old she looks and I didn't want Any misunderstanding. She may look 15 but she is actually 17. Any other questions."

No one stepped forward. "Now you know your jobs oh**I need 10 volunteers to go on a scouting mission with me. meet me at the entrance when you have your gear ready."

Captain Moore and Alice head towards the vehicle depot where the captain checks out 2 humvees one has a 50.cal the other has a m-134 minigun and a Bradley APC with a 25mm chain gun he orders the vehicles to be arranged in a convoy with the APC in the front followed by the 50.cal Humvee and in the rear the m-134.

Within an hour the convoy is mounted up and rolling out of the fortress city the captain Moore mans the 50.cal he looks around to see trees flying past him and sees the rolling hills of the open plains ahead of the convoy. After driving for a few hours He suddenly felt a tug on his pant leg. He looks down to see Alice with a pleading expression so he crouches down and asks the question on his mind. "Do you want something?"

She wipers in his ear. "I'm hungry for blood and violence." After she said this, saliva started to drip from her mouth. Suddenly the radio erupts with chatter as they look into the distance to see a town in golfed in fire men wearing leather armor and carry swords and spears run about the village killing and looting everything in Site the captain enraged by the slaughter of innocent people he yellest the top of his lungs " kill those bastards.'

The convoy changes cores and speeds toward the town as fast as they can.

The convoy didn't go unseen by the raiders, drawing most of the raiders out of the village and into an open field. The raiders began to line up and create a Shield wall, the archers in the back beginning to let arrows lose as the convoy approached. The convoy goes from a single file line to a battle line and arrows fall upon the Humvees and ricochet off. The gunners open fire along with the 25mm chain gun. The m-134 peppers the shield wall and drills holes through the shields and into the men behind them shredding them like a meat grinder with the shields down the 25mm and the 50.cal pick of the rest.

The raiders commander stands 300 yards away as he watches the rest of his forces ether get ripped to Pieces by the 50.cal or hit dead on by a 25mm shell turning them into a red Gelatinous Paste just as the commander snaps out of his daze he notices one of the metal beats is staring him down he tries to flee for his life but he is met with a 25mm HE shell to his back turning him to a explosion of red mist.

The Skirmish lasted no more than 3 minutes; resulting in the raiders completely being wiped out, roughly 15 identifiable raiders lay dead and rotting in the field. when the humvees roll into the town. Most of the fires have been put out and the villagers start to gather in the middle of their town the humvees roll to a stop in front of the small group of villagers.

The doors of the humvees open and captain Moore and Alice are the first to step out following close behind is a mixed squad of army ranger and Green berets most where the Army Combat Uniform in the Operational Camouflage Pattern and a iotv gen 2 plate carrier with a skull face mask and use the standard issue m-4. This squad will one day be known as the grim reapers to those who survive thare wrath.

As a group of soldiers approach the villagers some of the villagers are frightened when they see the escort of soldiers Wearing skull face covers. as they think it is a sign of death. But the village elder steps forward and asks a simple question. "Are you angels of death?" Captain Moore looks down at Alice and Alice nods in agreement "yes we are angels of death. we serve the goddess of death."

The entire village instantly drops to their knees and bows their heads and begin to pray to be spared the captain breaks thare prayer "ahem if the goddess wanted you dead she would have left those raiders to do it. Now what kingdom do you belong to?" The village elder begins to speak."Our town is a part of the Aegraicia Kingdom. There are 5 grand kingdoms in this world. You have the Kingdom of Prophis, our kingdom of Aegraicia, the dullahan empire and the dwarfin republic and the elven federation."

After the elder released his wealth of information the captain asks him one last question in a menacing Tone "do you like your king and be honest."

The village elder drops to his knees and hangs his head and answers "no."

The elder expected to be beaten to death by the angels but instead he was shocked at what they said. "Good because we will slaughter his army and then kill him if the goddess deems him unworthy." After the captain utter these words all of them got back into the humvees and took off. Leaving the villagers in a seance of fear because they know if there king went to war he would conscript common people to fight with

His army and if they had to go against what appeared to be angels of death or thare king they would rather die fighting for their freedom and bettering themselves than their king who takes everything from his subjects just to fulfill his desires but little did the villagers know that there was a rat among them thus the following day a messenger nelt in front of the king "my king I bring new from the town of Willesden. a group of bandits tried to loot and torch the village. But where slaughtered by a group of men the villagers are beginning to call. the grim reapers they ride in carriages made of metal. pulled by the ghosts of horses. and they have no face, just a skull covered by a helmet. They left the village with a message to the villagers. "we will be watching." The message sent shivers down the king's spine so the king asked "how many bandits were they against." The messenger pulled a scroll from his pocket and reade it allowed "ruffly 200 bandits attacked the town and out of the 200 only 15 bodies could be identified we estimate only 5 escaped the rest were killed."

"What happened to the other's." The king asks.

The messenger takes a breath and relays his findings. "the rest of the body's were shredded to nonrecognition or where liquid meat paste splattered on the ground."

After the king heard this his face went from a worried expression to a look of absolute despair the news of the angels of death and the grim reapers were spreading like a wildfire throughout the kingdom.
