Chapter 11:

The End Of The Continental War Part 1

Valkyria Squadron


Vienna, Austria

What I had heard before I asked myself what my mission would be this time because now I was so much that this was just a trap for someone else. But then, answering my doubts, the radio started talking.

"Here War lady"
"The mission this time is to investigate a strange building near this place"
"Just report what you find in there"
"It's probably well defended so be prepared" Today is speaking in a sad way, It sure is because of what I can hear before.

I think it would be a good idea to continue playing their game for a moment while I find out where I am and how I escape.

What is there inside?
It even looks like an installation of the I.S.C, because the walls and the machines have their designs, it was a large building with several floors. But it had a peculiarity right on the first floor there was an access to a subway station, nothing out of the ordinary at first glance, but a bomb had dropped at some point near a wall that revealed access to a long corridor, with the same design as the I.S.C use. it seemed like a promising place to hide so I decided to go inside and see what was inside that could help me.

Inside was clearly a large room that was used for something. But like most of the rest of the city, it was destroyed: broken glass everywhere, messy tables and chairs, several pieces of walls on the floor, there were traces that there were several large computers, in addition to several computers that formed a pile of the one that came out a fire. It was suspicious, because whoever starts burning computers when an army is attacking the city unless it was important information that must be destroyed at any cost.

Have they taken whatever was here somewhere else?
Or maybe when they saw that the alliance was approaching they decided to dismantle everything?

Walking around I found a file with some information on a table, the folder where it was was a very striking red color, it seemed out of place as if it had been purposely left behind for someone else to read and it was even weirder after reading it quickly a bit.

It was talking about the progress of something called project 13. Said things about how a previous test prototype suffered severe damage after being turned on for the eighth time due to problems with the power source and how for the next prototype it had to have a lower consumption and a better power supply. Then talked about how the new model was quite efficient and it began to be used with manned tests, then he said something about how the ramp that gave access had broken due to the weight of the equipment that passed through it, especially combat cars. All this seemed like a stupid waste of time but just before I left that behind and got going again when they started talking about how for the next model they had thought to improve the rune system, in addition to giving it an exit property that did not It would need the teleporting machine but would send people on a one-way trip. Which would be perfect for moving invading troops unexpectedly. Besides that, the person who wrote the report was suspiciously named Dylan too.

This set off all the alarms in my head. Well, it sounded exactly like the teleporting machine that the angels use and with which the dragons appeared the first time. But how did they manage to find the runes and energy necessary for something like that?
Is humanity really capable of creating such an instrument again without guidance?
And if they had something like that, why didn't they use it earlier in the war?
They would only have to take several teams of soldiers to the enemy capital and with that, it would all end. Although the fact that we are about to defeat them and that this place is abandoned means that this idea has been discarded.

Then I noticed that there was an exit to another room nearby so trying to get more answers I walked through it.

All this seemed a lie. How was it possible that they have re-created a machine like this other one!?

It was a large metal structure, in a flattened circular shape, on the edges it had several symbols that I did not know, but the inside of the circle was impossible to confuse, it was like seeing the surface of the water. It was easier to explain it as seeing a circular pool, only that it was vertical to the ground. Surely it is the machine that the documents said and without a doubt, it was not a portal that angels normally use. The strange thing about it was not only that the humans had somehow managed to build one of these without help again, but that it was fully operational. Right now it was running at full power, and it was unguarded.

This is a great coincidence

And maybe it's my chance!

If it is capable of transporting me if I cross even if I put myself to sleep I'll be at least in another place far from here. And the effects of the sedative will wear off before they find me. Giving me a chance to run away from it all

But crossing there is a leap of faith.

Just as it can leave me in a city or forest, it can leave me in the middle of the ocean where I end up drowning.

Not to mention that maybe there are more security measures to prevent my escape as I need to be taking some medication to keep me alive. Nanami didn't need any of that, she was like seeing anyone else, except for the ears and the tail. But I can't take anything for granted now.

But now that I remember!

If all the information about me is in that post here in the middle of the war just like that lady said. I could go see if I need something like that or even be able to disable them !!
But I have to go before they destroy it if they haven't already.

This was all a double bet

I could well jump through that device and die for lack of any medication that I have to be taking or I could go back to that base, find out if I need something, and not be able to make my escape by falling asleep again.

And even if the second went well, I could still cross and fall in the middle of the sea only to die drowned while I'm asleep.

It is not an easy decision at all, but I must make one. If I decline this opportunity I will end up getting destroyed just as planned.

The best thing is not to take risks, what I should do is go to that base and return as fast as I can. After all, I have those adrenaline injections for something.

I better get on my way fast!.

When I was leaving the subway, the radio I was carrying started to make noise again.

"What is she doing?" was the girl from the radio.
"She is going back the way she came without an order."
"Is this what you were referring to when they said she could act weird?" But this time the transmission was weird, it sounded like she wasn't aware that she left the microphone on.
"Here War lady"
"Go back to investigate the building, it's an order!"

I decided to finally act on my own I let him keep talking as I continued my way to the surface.

"Valkyria is showing unusual signs!" The radio was still on.
"It is not responding to the indications of the mission"
"She's even moving away from the assigned area."
"What should I do ma'am?"

"Hell, this is what I was afraid of" another voice, it was from another woman too, the same one that spoke while he was asleep.
"We can't risk whatever she has planned"
"Put her to sleep now"

Well, it's time to do things fast. Having heard the conversation between them on the radio, I was alerted to the activation of the sedative now. So I invoked my sword Avalon to have the stimulant injections on hand and I applied one immediately, just before feeling the throb of the necklace a moment later.

It made me a little sleepy but at least it didn't put me to sleep right away, so they do work. But I only have 3 more left and I don't know how long they will delay my sleep. I have to run NOW.

Leaving the station I walked towards a park that was in front, it was quite large and even had a river that dared it, apparently, this area had already been cleaned of enemies, there were corpses and soldiers of the alliance moving towards the east. I began to review the bodies of the Alliance soldiers trying to find information about where the alleged base was where they were monitoring me. As I was passing through I also took an assault rifle and a bag of ammunition from one, and also several grenades from another that was also nearby. But I did not find any information about the place.

Just when I was beginning to wonder what to do next, the radio spoke again.

"I already recovered the location of Valkyria !" It was War lady.
"A soldier found a girl with white hair in Wiener Stadtpark".
"She is seven hundred meters north of the observation point!"
"We have to do something"

That information just saved me, I just had to walk to go there. So I started running just south to get there as soon as possible.

"She's headed there, without a doubt she's doing something!" she added.

"We have no choice, send the order to evacuate the place and send someone to stop it" the other woman answered, who seems to be her superior.
"I also have an idea but I need you to get on the helicopter now!"
"And take the sedatives and the gun for them!"

Despite running through a battlefield, this sector was quite quiet, as there were no enemy soldiers that could be seen. So I was able to move quickly and without problems. And looking for the place I realized that I was heading towards a palace, the Lower Belvedere. It seems that they decided to put it inside the place so I enter the place prepared for the worst because I do not think they will let anyone in.

As soon as I entered through a window two soldiers saw me immediately and began to shoot at me without hesitation. It's good to see that the Alliance isn't kidding about anything, but I'm not lagging behind either, so I returned the favor and started shooting too. But I'm not here to destroy the place, my goal is to find a computer where I can get the information about the security measures and get out of here.

In the middle of the shooting started. I managed to enter a room with several computers on, but just when I was able to hear a multitude of footsteps, a large group of soldiers was approaching. So I thought it would be better to take the lead and throw a grenade down the hall they were coming from. I only got to hear someone's warning and then the explosion accompanied it, I don't know how many it ends up with, but it has given me some time so I turned around to the room again. But just finished turning I saw an object flying towards my face. It was a short knife, without much time to react I put my arms in front. Receiving a wound to the left arm.

"That was a good reaction Elise" Said the voice of a girl quite excited.
"But this time, I will kill you!"

Hearing that name again surprised me. Because it had been years since I heard it. And the truth is that only angels should know, but after noticing who the person who was talking to me was, I understood a little what she was referring to.

She was a young girl, quite well endowed, in addition to hair black as night. But as peculiar as the body that I had now. Well, she had big wings on her back, it was like seeing an angel, but unlike those I knew, the color of her wings was black, in addition to the fact that she wore armor of the same color. It was also equipped with a blood-red one-handed sword and an old powder gun.

Knowing the policy that the angels have of not wearing black, I only left a single possibility about the identity of the girl. She was a fallen angel, an angel with such a corrupt mind that she was exiled from heaven.

Clearly not the type of person you want to ever meet. But what did I do to deserve the attack of a fallen angel? nothing came to mind for her to attack me. Whoever she is I don't have time to deal with this, I have to defeat her or lose her at least.

She raised her sword against me, but in a slightly strange way, it seemed that it hurt. It was then that I noticed, she was injured in her abdomen. She was still bleeding but far from showing that it hurt she was smiling as if enjoying it. Seeing that the left side of her would move slowly I decided to attack towards there so I charged her with the knife from before.

"AAAAHHH!!"
"Not again!"
"It can't be that I fall for this again!" exclaimed the dark angel when she received the blow on the other side of her body.

Right after, she raised her hand with the gun and pointed it at me, so I dived for cover behind a desk. But to my surprise, she did not shoot me, but a soldier who just entered the room and that I had not seen or heard.

"This is between her and me! " she said yelling at her victim.

Without a doubt, she is here for me, for something I may have done to her, but I don't remember seeing a dark angel until today. so I have no idea what she wants.

"AAAHH!" she exclaimed again
"Seriously?"
"Even here and now you are able to face me!?"
"No"
"It must be because I was already hurt before"
"I will have to try at a different time!"
"The next you will not be able to defeat me again!"
"In the end, I will be able to avenge him!"

After talking to him she looked pretty damaged now, and the blood she was losing was alarming. Seeing that this meeting would not end well for her, she decided to look for something among her clothes.

It was a grenade!!
Down!!.
