Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the General and the Snow Witch. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own VK, Sega, Ryutaro Nonaka and Shuntaro Tanaka do.
(Imperial Camp 1935, 2 days before VC 4)
Alik was shaken from his plans as an Imperial Shocktrooper, the soldier turned to him as he looked at the Sergeant.
"Sir, Lord Belgar wishes to speak with you… He waits at the Imperial Capital… We have an APC waiting for you…"
The Imperial Shocktrooper put in as Alik sighed and turned from his plans towards the soldier and nodded.
"Ok… Make sure everything is ready when I get back... And you are ready for war by then."
Alik said as the Black and Red clad soldier nodded and saluted as he walked past the soldier and he climbed into the APC.
"Lord Belgar… Damn careless noble…"
Alik hissed, his staff knew of the man…
He despised the man, he and X-0, his 'Science Military Unit', he knew a traitor from the Federation ran its field operations, he would deal with him… And the two Lieutenants who were his bodyguards.
He saw the APC was moving towards the Crystal Sea, he knew the Imperial Lord wasn't based in the capital, his soldiers didn't know that.
The Orcinus Magnus broke through the surface of the ice as Alik sighed, the APC slowed as the submarine slowed to allow the APC to dock with it.
Alik stepped out and into the hull of the Sub as it vanished under the water, the last thing he wanted to deal with was Heinrich…. But he'd deal with the man if he had to… He owed the Imperial Noble that much at least.
"Ah… There you are, my friend… I was beginning to think you'd never show."
Alik said as he turned to see someone he hadn't seen in months… If not a single year.
"Walz? I haven't seen you since the Siegval Line!"
The Imperial General put in, he knew of the tank unit he led: Ausbruch… He had a few reports about the tank unit, not all of them positive.
"And I haven't seen you since you were a Major, General! How is the Bear of the Snowstorm?"
Walz asked, Alik rolled his eyes, that nickname he had been given was still in use?
"I'm fine, Walz… I've heard things from command about you… Are you and your tanks still running around and blowing up everything?"
Alik asked, if the commander of Ausbruch was upset, he didn't show it.
"Kid, I've been fighting since you were a junior officer…. But yes, we are…."
Walz put in, the 22-year-old General laughed before the elevator hit the bottom.
"Hmm…"
Alik said before a pair of Shocktroopers walked up to them.
"Sirs, come with us…. Dr. Belgar wishes to talk with you…."
They said, Alik crossed his hands behind his back and walked with Walz.
"I don't like this; the old man is many things…. But secret isn't one of them…. Only reason the man wasn't executed was because of his connection to the emperor and his contributions to the war effort… Not that the inhuman son of a-…."
Alik started to say before he heard a voice behind him.
"Please, finish your sentence, General… I am interested to hear the response."
He heard and he turned to see the man in question behind him…. He also noted the 3 women behind him as well.
"That you're a damn mad scientist Belgar… What did you call me here for, I have a war to fight…? You just want test subjects to torture and dissect…."
Alik hissed out, the Doctor and young General had history, that was well known…. So why the man had called them here was curious…. But he would hear him out….
He wasn't an animal like this man turned Frankenstein mad scientist.
"You are aware of my organization, correct? X-0? Mr. Konig?"
Belgar asked, Alik snorted and turned to the 3 girls, the woman with the staff he didn't know… But he guessed Belgar did something to her…. Just another crime that would go unpunished… Disgusting.
"I am aware of you torturing people to turn them into super soldiers, Doctor…. And if you were aware of me, you'd know I despise anyone who conducts such activity…. I fight to defend my men and my people… Not because I enjoy slaughter or killing the Federation like cattle…"
Alik said, Belgar ignored the jab and turned to the women.
"Crymaria… Come forward…. A Valkyria shouldn't bow their head like that…."
Belgar said, this caused Walz and Alik to perk up, a Valkyria? The warriors who slaughtered armies by themselves, who cleaved mountains in half? What was Belgar playing at?
"Yes, doctor?"
Crymaria asked, Alik frowned, he had only known one woman who claimed to be descended from those warriors, she had unbreakable will and twice the power in her speech that he was seeing…Crymaria sounded… Unbalanced, cold, detached… As if any emotion had been torn out of her and ripped apart….
"I didn't come and summon both of you…. You especially, Mr. Walz… But to show you what I have planned… And I have no qualms on destroying or killing anyone…. General…"
Belgar said, Alik snorted and looked at Crymaria, he was concerned now….
"What did you do to her, Belgar? And what plans? If you have plans, you would have said them to the high command…."
Belgar heard from Alik, he crossed his arms, Alik turned to Crymaria, whatever happened to her, he would stop it…. If it meant helping Belgar…. He would make the deal with the devil.
