Another Day, A New Reich

[Hathradic States]

Tucker mumbled under his breath, and rolled onto his back, his legs twitching slightly.

"Funny," Church said, "I don't go that way."

She laughed.

"Neither do I..."

She looked around trying to find small talk.

"He's not that bad when he's asleep, kinda cute."

"Good luck getting in his pants," Church said, taking out a cigarette and offering one to Martina, "He's very stubborn about that whole celibacy thing."

[Eliasonia]

"Yeah, all the wrong things." Eli said. "It's always the creepy reptilian mutant hellspawn instead of the hot stripper in the bunny outfit" he groaned.
"What was that?" Eli said, diverting his attention to the girl.

"Nothing," she said, "Just thinking out loud."
God
"Well, you had that one nurse...well, she turned out to be a demon, but she was a hot demon."

"Happens" he said before returning his attention to Romeo.
"Hot? pfft, easy for you to say. You didn't have a demon lawyer show up and deposit a little Satan spawn into your possession." He said. "In fact, if I remember correctly, you were still a wee little baby when that happened. Which means either your father or mother told you, because I never told anyone. Hell, my own wife never even knew."

[New Nassrau]

She laughed.

She looked around trying to find small talk.

"He's not that bad when he's asleep, kinda cute."

"Good luck getting in his pants," Church said, taking out a cigarette and offering one to Martina, "He's very stubborn about that whole celibacy thing."

She smiled awkwardly.

"I wasn't talking about that!"

She looked into Church's eyes.

"No, and stop! That's bad for you!"

[Hathradic States]

"Nothing," she said, "Just thinking out loud."

"In fact, if I remember correctly, you were still a wee little baby when that happened. Which means either your father or mother told you, because I never told anyone. Hell, my own wife never even knew."

"My father did," Romeo said, "What happened to him, anyways?"

[Hathradic States]

"Good luck getting in his pants," Church said, taking out a cigarette and offering one to Martina, "He's very stubborn about that whole celibacy thing."

She smiled awkwardly.

"I wasn't talking about that!"

She looked into Church's eyes.

"No, and stop! That's bad for you!"

"And getting myself shot at isn't?" Church said, grinning a bit, "Well...I was going straight for the punch, there."

[Eliasonia]

Hell, my own wife never even knew."

"My father did," Romeo said, "What happened to him, anyways?"

"I don't care" Eli said gruffly. "So long as he's as far away from me as possible."

[Hathradic States]

"My father did," Romeo said, "What happened to him, anyways?"

"I don't care" Eli said gruffly. "So long as he's as far away from me as possible."

Romeo gave a short laugh, then, "Well, at least you don't have an ex trying to make you pay alimony for a kid that isn't yours."

[Saurisisia]

The Panzers rushed forward, firing off both HEAT and Sabot rounds at the enemy tanks who came out attacking the infantry. Those APCs equipped with AT missiles began firing them off while AT infantry did the same, firing missiles and rockets at the enemy vehicle while they and their comrades sought cover from the enemy shells. The artillery, meanwhile, began firing both at the enemy Challengers and any infantry in the vicinity, pinning them down and allowing the infantry and tanks to mop them up once the armor is gone.

From the south, a company of lancers, left over from seeming a thousand years ago, charged forth with lances and breastplates for armor, astride horses. On the front, the dug in infantry began to hold out the Reich's forces. More reinforcements were coming.

Hath phone Field Marshal Saur.

Saur's troops were somewhat surprised by the charge but promptly responded with automatic fire, while the tanks opened up with high-explosive rounds. All the while, the artillery kept on the pressure, pounding the dug-in Khanese infantry ever more in the hopes of wearing them down for when the army comes in to steamroll them. Saur himself was somewhat surprised by Hath phoning him, so he received the call wondering what was it he wanted to tell or ask him.

"Saur, hold the line," Hath said when the Field Marshal answered.

Romeo gave a short laugh, then, "Well, at least you don't have an ex trying to make you pay alimony for a kid that isn't yours."

"You're right" Eli said, eyes darting to his ring again. "I have an ex who died on me instead..."

[New Nassrau]

She smiled awkwardly.

"I wasn't talking about that!"

She looked into Church's eyes.

"No, and stop! That's bad for you!"

"And getting myself shot at isn't?" Church said, grinning a bit, "Well...I was going straight for the punch, there."

She giggled and moved closer.

"If only we met on different circumstances..."

[Hathradic States]

Romeo gave a short laugh, then, "Well, at least you don't have an ex trying to make you pay alimony for a kid that isn't yours."

"You're right" Eli said, eyes darting to his ring again. "I have an ex who died on me instead..."

"I know, Uncle," Romeo said, then, changing the subject, "Is it me, or is shit getting colder again?"

[Hathradic States]

"And getting myself shot at isn't?" Church said, grinning a bit, "Well...I was going straight for the punch, there."

She giggled and moved closer.

"If only we met on different circumstances..."

"You mean, without me rescuing you before they shot you?" Church said, scooting closer to Martina.

[Eliasonia]

"You're right" Eli said, eyes darting to his ring again. "I have an ex who died on me instead..."

"I know, Uncle," Romeo said, then, changing the subject, "Is it me, or is shit getting colder again?"

"At least we have blankets this time..." Eli began, grateful for the change in subject. "Well, two blankets..."

[Hathradic States]

"I know, Uncle," Romeo said, then, changing the subject, "Is it me, or is shit getting colder again?"

"At least we have blankets this time..." Eli began, grateful for the change in subject. "Well, two blankets..."

Romeo turned to the girl, but she was already asleep, so he threw a blanket over her.

"I am not cuddling with you," Romeo said, looking at the other blanket.

[New Nassrau]

She giggled and moved closer.

"If only we met on different circumstances..."

"You mean, without me rescuing you before they shot you?" Church said, scooting closer to Martina.

"Our lives could have... intertwined... but rescuing is so very sweet..."

She was right up to his face... then suddenly-

[Hathradic States]

"You mean, without me rescuing you before they shot you?" Church said, scooting closer to Martina.

"Our lives could have... intertwined... but rescuing is so very sweet..."

She was right up to his face... then suddenly-

Church blushed visibly, and almost leaned a bit closer, then a single gunshot could be heard, echoing in the priorly silent night.

Church blushed visibly, and almost leaned a bit closer, then a single gunshot could be heard, echoing in the priorly silent night.

She gasped and turned around.

"A shot?"

[Hathradic States]

Church blushed visibly, and almost leaned a bit closer, then a single gunshot could be heard, echoing in the priorly silent night.

She gasped and turned around.

"A shot?"

Church stood up, his submachinegun in his hand. Tucker, however, just rolled over, talking in his sleep, "No Caboose...you can't use my sword...no...get tight behind Tex...bow...chicka...wow....wow..."

"It sounded like a rifle," Church said, ignoring Tucker's ramblings.

Another shot rang out, this one a deeper report than the prior one.

[Eliasonia]

"At least we have blankets this time..." Eli began, grateful for the change in subject. "Well, two blankets..."

Romeo turned to the girl, but she was already asleep, so he threw a blanket over her.

"I am not cuddling with you," Romeo said, looking at the other blanket.

Eli smirked and produced the tomahawk.
"You keep it." he said rising and making his way to a downed tree. He chopped off the limbs of the tree until he had a reasonable supply of wood. He set up the pile and stuffed some dried grass in between the gaps. He surveyed the area one final time before producing his lighter and a cigarette. He lit the grass and waited for it to catch before lighting the cigarette and inhaling deeply.

"Let's give it to Vlad," Romeo said, "That way he can't say we don't love him."

Romeo lit up a cigarette, sticking his head in the flames.

[New Nassrau]

She gasped and turned around.

"A shot?"

Church stood up, his submachinegun in his hand. Tucker, however, just rolled over, talking in his sleep, "No Caboose...you can't use my sword...no...get tight behind Tex...bow...chicka...wow....wow..."

"It sounded like a rifle," Church said, ignoring Tucker's ramblings.

Another shot rang out, this one a deeper report than the prior one.

Martina stayed down, blushing after hearing Tucker.

"I doubt it is firing at us... I wonder what's going on?"

"I doubt it is firing at us... I wonder what's going on?"

Church heard voices shouting, and caught a few sparse words.

"Oh God," Church said, "One of them is a pissed off husband, if I'm hearing right."

Romeo lit up a cigarette, sticking his head in the flames.

"I'm half surprised he didn't want to come with us." Eli said letting out a long stream of smoke. "rushing into the unknown with no knowledge of what lies ahead purely for shits and giggles with a possibility of mindless death and destruction seems like his kind of party."

[New Nassrau]

Martina stayed down, blushing after hearing Tucker.

"I doubt it is firing at us... I wonder what's going on?"

Church heard voices shouting, and caught a few sparse words.

"Oh God," Church said, "One of them is a pissed off husband, if I'm hearing right."

Martina frowned in confusion.

"Well... that's odd"
