Chapter 2

XCOM HQ

Alien Containment Facility

The werewolf woke up with a slight body pain, then transform back to its human form and observe his surroundings, saw several scientist looking at him clearly intrigue of his shape shifting ability

"The Subject seems to be capable of shape shifting capabilities and capable mimicking the Human Appearance in perfect form" said with a German accent "Greetings, can you understand me?"

"What do you want with me Human?"The werewolf asked as his hands touch the glass chambered he was trapped in

"Answer that you can provide to my questions" said before pulling out a data pad in her lab coat

"Do you think I will provide you answer?" The werewolf said "You can`t make me talk Human."

"Pity" said before clicking on her datapad "I was hoping for a normal interrogation for once but it's time to resort to the tested method again."

"You think your interrogation methods could make me talk Human" The werewolf snarled "Do your worst human"

Two mechanical arms slid out from the wall emitting a wave like energy, for once in his life the werewolf was grip with fear as this arms could kill him and transform to its monster form and began bashing and slashing the glass in front of him even launching his lightning attacks. Unfortunately for him the glass was designed withstand to hold against a raging Berserker and an Ethereal Psionic powers so it was useless act. Dr. Vahlen just looked at the werewolf with an emotionless face as the blast doors closes and the howl of a wolf could be heard.

Timeskip

In one of the rooms Dr. Vahlen is currently typing on her datapad when she notice Bradford approaching her, she look back and greeted him who returned the gesture

"So Doc? How did it go?" Bradford said

"Better than expected. Before the creature expired, I was able to extract some new information from it" Dr. Vahlen said "Certain patterns can be discerned, recent images and thoughts."

"So Doc, what`s our late friend thinking?" Bradford asked

"This particular image appeared in the creature`s thought patterns several times throughout the procedure." Dr. Vahlen said while gesturing to the screen hanged on the wall which shows pixilated colossal mountain with its peak covered by clouds and a dense forest with a river running by. "I have sent the image to be enhanced however it's these readings that intrigue me the most."

With a press from her data pad, the screen showed a different image this time. Bradford wasn't sure what his looking at… to him it's just waves and lines.

"What am I looking at Doc?"Bradford questioned

"The brainwaves of the specimen which was being monitored throughout the procedure, we were able to caught two different repeating patterns" Dr. Vahlen explained "My team is able to decipher these patterns… It roughly translate to Gensokyo and Youkai although I cannot explain why the specimen holds a personal significance to these words, However further study revealed that this word Youkai is a reference from the Japanese Folklore."

Dr. Vahlen continued to explain to Bradford of her discoveries, which took half an hour before Bradford leave the room to write his report to the Commander. While Dr. Vahlen continues studying and researching of the new discoveries found.

Situation Room

"Greetings Commander" Spokesman said "The Council is disturbed by the reports regarding this werewolf. While the Council is still skeptical of this, The Council will trust Doctor Vahlen`s report. It`s capabilities could pose a greater threat to Humanity. The Extraterrestrials despite their mastery in genetic manipulation were not able to create something that could easily infiltrate deep in Human Society."

The Commander and Bradford agreed in silently despite the Aliens attempt to infiltrate Humanity its Agents still stand out and can be easily spotted.

"The Council has agreed to return XCOM original budget" Spokesman said "The Council task you to discover more about this enemy. It is imperative that Humanity must be ready against them should they ever be a threat."

"Yes spokesman, I will have a teams` ready on standby if his friends appear" The Commander said

"One more thing Commander, the Council inquires on what will be the name given to this new Enemy?" Spokesman inquired

The Commander and Bradford looked at each other before nodding

"The research team has officially agreed upon on the name given to them." The Commander paused for a moment "We have begun officially calling their Classification as Youkai."

"Very well Commander, Good Luck" Spokesman said before cutting the transmission

Laboratory

Doctor Shen, Doctor Vahlen and Central Officer Bradford are currently discussing the proposal that Dr. Vahlen suggested

"You`re telling me that we should risk the lives of our troops, so we could bring another one alive?" Bradford asked clearly not amused

"Yes. Without another live specimen, I`m afraid we`ve reached the pinnacle of what my research team is able to accomplish."

"Was the first one wasn`t enough?" Bradford put his hands on the table

"The autopsy I`ve just completed confirms that this werewolf physiology is quite slightly similar to our own on how it functions." Dr. Vahlen then point towards the nearby screen which display the findings "However what intrigue me the most is this unknown energy that the werewolf exhibits inside its body and capable of utilizing it to fire that lightning attack."

"Do you really think this is worth the risk?" Bradford argued

"I do" Dr. Shen interrupted them "We do not know our new enemy. How can we hope to stop something we do not understand? If we could capture another one of those creatures we may be able to solve the mystery behind this energy and harness it for our own use."

"The possibility of benefits we could discover outweighs the risk; in my opinion" Dr. Shen continued "I can improve the Alien Containment Facility to prevent any possible attempts of our new enemy from escaping and improve as well the Arc Thrower to increase its effectiveness."

"Do we even know where to look for another one?" Bradford asked

"I believe the answer to that question lies to this Gensokyo that appears several time." Dr. Vahlen answered "An investigation or recon mission to that place could help us solve mysteries regarding the Youkai."

"All right, I`ll speak to the Commander" Bradford said as he slowly exit the room leaving Dr. Shen and Dr. Vahlen alone

TIMESKIP

XCOM Commander Office

The Commander is currently managing the paperworks on his table while sipping his coffee from time to time, he pause when he heard a knock from the door

"Come in" Commander said and saw Bradford coming in"So any good news?" He returned the salute before gesturing to the seat near his table

"Dr. Vahlen has suggested to sent a team to capture another one alive" Bradford said

"Deja vu" The Commander replied with a small smile "Assuming I approve of her request does she know where to find another one?" He set aside the paperwork and looked at Bradford "If it was aliens we can easily find one compared to this"

"According to Dr. Vahlen, she theorized that this Gensokyo that appear several times alongside the word Youkai is somehow a location, a place of operation." Bradford explained to the Commander "If this is true then the answers for our questions must be in this Gensokyo."

"Very well she makes a very convincing argument besides the Council will want updates about it." Commander said "I will approve this operation if the following objectives are met before I send my soldiers. First, find a way inside this Gensokyo. Second, tell that to upgrade much of the current gear and lastly, I want reports regarding about the werewolf and the effects of our current weaponry against this new threat in papers before the end of the week."

"Very well, Commander I will tell Dr. Vahlen and Dr. Shen your orders" Bradford said and saluted then leaves the room

"This is going to be a busy week" The Commander muttered to himself, sipped his coffee and resume doing the paperwork on his table

Few Days Later

Situation Room

Doctor Shen and Central Officer Bradford were currently discussing the recent findings found by Doctor Vahlen who was currently on a video call from her laboratory as she was busy looking over at the artifact they found with the werewolf

"The Commander has agreed to approve of your request once the objectives are complete" Bradford said "Aside from the last two objectives, which could be easily done. The First one is hard; I hope you have a solution to locating this Gensokyo or finding hints on what those words means, Doctor."

"While I don`t have a definite answer to how to find the place or its definition."Dr. Vahlen said "The artifact recovered from the werewolf seems hold great importance; this artifact may be the key to locating the place or even finding hints about it."

"The artifact what is it really?" Bradford asked

"The artifact the team recover while physically appear to be some sort of a combination between a Key and a Blade as its handle is similar to that of a Key handle while its body is similar to that of a blade with cuts like the one you found on certain keys. My team is unofficially calling it Blade Key," Dr. Vahlen explained "What intrigue us the most is the mysterious energy reading that is being detected by scans emitted by the Blade Key."

"This energy readings is it similar to the Outsider we faced before?" Bradford asked "Can we trace it?"

"While not the same energy reading as the Outsider but exhibit certain similarities." Dr. Vahlen said "It appears to be resonating very faintly, as for a possible tracing the energy is…" words were cut when a Scientist interrupted her, showing her something while handing the datapad to her, she read the new information given to her by her fellow colleague then give it back "Pardon the pause, it seems we have a new discovery found."

"The artifact seems to be sending a signal." continued "It will take some time before my team able crack the code, its behavior is far from the Outsider Shard we encounter but every now and then we encounter some similarities."

"Perhaps I could lend my expertise, Doctor. If what she saying is true, this artifact is now sending a signal, one where we could use to trace where the signals are being received." Dr. Shen said "I will have my colleague handle if they there is an encryption algorithm while I will focus constructing an Interface between this artifact and our global communications array, which we`ll need to trace the signal"

"Then researching more about this Artifact is our top priority." Bradford said "Do you think the same container and interface we use for locating the Alien Base could work?"

"Based from the preliminary reports by Dr. Vahlen, it could work but we need to modify it in order for the artifact and interface to work." said

Time Skip Few Weeks

Situation Room

A Scientist was carrying the container that held the Blade Key, behind him was Dr. Vahlen following. The Scientist put the artifact on the scanner made by Dr. Shen to determine the coordinates on where the signal is being received. The process took several minutes before the screen displayed a set of coordinates.

"There you are. Tactical, do we have an eagle over these coordinates?" Bradford asked through the radio on his headset

"RECON satellite Delta two`s just coming into line-of-sight… now sir, Coming on-screen."XCOM Staff replied. The screen showed area but found nothing aside the mountainous terrain according to the Satellite feed

"Nothing… just like with Alien Base" Bradford said "Switch to thermal" still no changes

"Try scanning for any possible distortions" Dr. Vahlen suggested "If my theory is correct, they must be using some sort of advance cloaking field, try to find similar readings to that of the artifact."

The operator did what the Doctor suggested once green lighted by Bradford. Began typing on his console as the sound could be heard in the comm. channel

"Sir, There is still nothing on the sensors…" XCOM Staff said and suddenly paused on what he`s saying "Wait, I am detecting something, something very faint… displaying on-screen now." A large section of the map highlighted "I can't estimate its size Sir, the computer giving me changing values."

Bradford said to the screen "Do we have any topography of the area?"

"Negative sir, penetrating scans are reporting static" XCOM Staff replied "Even Subsurface scans are somehow being jammed by unknown source."

Bradford quickly contacted the Commander discussing about a possible mission into the area while the two doctors look at the area highlighted in the screen

"What do you think jamming our scans?" Dr. Shen asked the XCOM Staff

"Some kind of barrier that we have yet to determine" XCOM Staff said

"A barrier capable of blocking scans as well as evading any known detection methods." Dr. Vahlen said "To think they have something like that could hide a large area. If it wasn't for the readings the artifact displayed we wouldn't have found this place. Our Scanners barely detected it despite the Scanners is equipped with the best technology humanity could produce and reverse engineer from the alien technology."

"Okay, the Commander is asking on how would be able to get inside?" Bradford interrupted the two Doctor

"The same method we used when we attack the Alien Base" Dr. Shen said as they began to follow his gaze which landed on the Artifact

Next Day Morning

Engineering

The Commander was passing by the Engineering when Dr. Shen spotted him and made a gesture to come closer while the Commander wasn't busy so he decided to see what the Doctor needs

"Good Day Commander" Dr. Shen greeted "I was about to come your office to talk about our weapons upgrade since you`re here I will give you a rundown." He gestured to talk in his office which just a few steps from where they are standing, once they got in and settle down "I have Dr. Vahlen run an analysis view of what we discovered while reviewing the footage taken from the helmet-cams of Strike team including the SHIV that was with them."

Dr. Shen turned the screen towards the Commander so he could see what the Doctor was referring "As you can see Commander, We discovered that our Laser Technology wouldn`t do well against this newly named Youkai … Based on the footage, and seem to possess a rapid-healing capability or damage reduction ability." zoomed near a part of the body of werewolf specifically the hand "It was hit by our Laser Sniper Rifle, you can see that there is slight change in the skin coloration mimicking that of a slightly burned skin but after several seconds it was gone" showed the Commander what he was referring

"This is very concerning, what about our Plasma weaponry?" He asked

"That is the good news Commander" showed the footage of the SHIV hitting the werewolf on the chest and Strike-1 scored hits on the werewolf left leg and near its hip "As you can see, there is a clear burned mark on closer inspection on the affected areas, it only began healing after the subject was brought to the Alien Containment Facility" showed another footage of the werewolf being escorted towards the containment area "According to Dr. Vahlen, she theorized that the high temperature of the Plasma somehow temporarily knock the werewolf regenerative abilities or its slow down to an unknown rate."

"Atleast we know we have a fighting chance against them." The Commander said and noticed wasn`t finish talking

"As for the SHIV, we were able to a critical flaw on its design that was overlooked. The Engineering already started fixing our current SHIVs and looking for anymore possible flaws." Dr. Shen continued "As for the SHIVs effectiveness against our new foe, there performance is similar to that of the Alien Invaders."

Dr. Shen showed the improvements his team was able to achieve to the Commander to the upcoming mission. He also showed the Commander several project proposals that could improve XCOM Combat capabilities although the Commander will think about those proposals.

Armory

Five People walk in the Armory; making XCOM staffs that are responsible in the maintenance of the Armory look at awe at these five individuals some even give way to these people. Who were they? They are known as Alpha Team, the Best of the Best XCOM has to offer equip with the latest gadgets the R&D could dream, they are the ones who lead the assault at the Temple Ship and the ones responsible of killing the Alien Leader known as Uber Ethereal

The first member of Alpha Team, the leader of the team and a native of Mexico, his name is Cesar Flores, call sign "Mad Dog". He is an Assault Class specialist, whose primary role is aggressive reconnaissance, flanking and drawing enemy fire. The armor he wears the Ghost Armor the only stealth armor design by XCOM based upon phase-shifts observe in the hyperwave beacon and capable turning the user invincible to the naked eye for a limited amount of time when activated and makes the user difficult to hit.

His weapons load out consist of Alloy Cannon as his primary weapon and Plasma Pistol secondary weapon. The Alloy Cannon is a shotgun where it fires machined shards of alien alloy, an extremely powerful weapon that has devastating effect on anything caught in range it manage to penetrate two meters thick modified ballistic gel without problem however, accuracy falls off quickly over greater distances. Plasma Pistol fires a lethal shot of ionized gas in an artificially generated magnetic field capable of performing far beyond the capabilities of any projectile based sidearm.

He also undergone Genetic enhancement which gives him tactical advantage in the battlefield. His enhancement are the following, Neural Damping which give protection against some psionic based attacks, It also prevents him from being mind control although the drawback is that it he is successfully mind control, this gene mod will render him unconscious for small amount of time which is dangerous during a firefight. Depth Perception gives him better aim on high ground elevations. Adrenal Neurosympathy triggers when he eliminates an enemy, this allows him to channel a Combat Pheromone cloud then releases in his surrounding that boost nearby allies stats affected by it. Bioelectric Skin acts as extrasensory like ability that detects enemies within a short distance even they are block by walls or cloak, it also prevent strangulation. Muscle Fiber Density confers him superhuman leg strength, enabling him to reach high position without need for ladders and climbing aids.

The Second member is a native from Mexico. Her name is Patricia Delgado, call sign "Zero". She is the resident sniper of the team providing long range standoff, force multiplier and supporting Overwatch against enemy units. Her armor resembles that of the Titan Armor but with a difference, it has propulsion system on the back and behind the knees giving the user limited flight capabilities.

Her weapons load out include the Plasma Sniper Rifle and the Plasma Pistol. The Plasma Sniper Rifle was based on rail-gun technology by supercharging the gas particle into plasma and then propels the charge away at great velocity, delivering an extremely powerful shot at previously unheard distance.

Patricia Delgado has similar Genetic Enhancement to Mad Dog with the exception of two Gene Mods. Instead of Adrenal Neurosympathy and Bioelectric Skin she has Secondary Heart which extends the crucial time before the soldier to die from blood loss and other fatal injuries and Mimetic Skin confers the ability to change her skin pattern to match cover it will not work however if the enemy have line of sight to her starting position also leaving cover or firing will break her concealment.

The Third member of the team is a former Triad Operative. Cropped white hair and Goatee he has a scar over his right eye and another on his right cheek. His name is Shaojie Zhang, call sign "Chilong". He is a Heavy Weapons specialist responsible for deploying high explosive munitions against the enemy. Primarily relying on a shoulder mounted rocket launcher for both offensive strikes and the demolition of obstacles. His armor that he equips on deployment is the Titan Armor, the strongest and toughest armor built by XCOM capable of withstanding shots from a Sectopod.

His weapons of choice are the Heavy Plasma, A machine gun firing plasma bolts capable of melting steel and destroying concrete walls, the second weapon is the Blaster Launcher, an upgrade over the standard rocket launcher XCOM uses, Can fire self-guiding rockets capable of navigating to its intended target without direct line-of-sight which is only possible by integrating the advanced alien navigation systems to the weapon.

Shaojie Zhang has a similar Genetic Enhancement with Mad Dog with the exception of Depth of Perception. Instead he has Hyper Reactive Pupils confers the ability to automatically adjust his aiming if his first few shots misses.

The Fourth member of the team is a young Japanese woman with medium-length black hair. Her name is Misaki Ishikawa, call sign "Septic". Is part of the Mechanized Exoskeletal Cybersuit or MEC for short, She volunteers to become a MEC Trooper because she got gravely injured on one of her missions which would leave her disable for life but she wishes to continue fighting against the Extraterrestrials, she asked Dr. Shen if she could become a MEC trooper, however warned her that there is no going back on her decision she also went a Psych evaluation to help her prepare her mind. She undergoes a surgery which sacrifices much of her lower body replacing the part below the head with robot or exoskeleton body. Physically her body is stronger than its organic counterpart and could run faster but the real weapon of the MEC Troopers is the MEC suit, which are powerful battle suits that mount an array of useful weaponry and support equipment, it can easily be customize to fit specific tactical approaches. The battle suits are usually 2.5 to 3 meters tall.

She uses the MEC-3 Paladin; the plating and materials used on the MEC armor is similar to that of the Titan Armor. The MEC-3 Paladin is also equipped with three Tactical Subsystems. First is the Kinetic Strike Module on the MEC`s right arm, it allows her to pulverize adjacent cover and punch enemies hard that they are sent flying by a few meters. Second, A Grenade Launcher attach on the back to help her act as an indirect artillery for her team by eliminating entrenched enemy forces or removing their cover, it has a capacity of three Grenades. Third, is the Electro Pulse which is located just beside the Grenade Launcher it releases an EMP around the MEC that disables robotic enemies for a limited amount of time within a 2 meter radius which is use against the Alien Robotic Units namely Sectopod, Mechtoid, Cyberdisc, Seeker and Drones who usually appears on corners during missions.

Her Primary weapon is the Particle Cannon a burst-style particle beam, while it lack a rate of fire compare to the previous weapons of MEC like the Railgun and Minigun but it`s destructive power make up for it, capable of demolishing heavily armored enemies in few shots. .

The Fifth member of the team is a young French woman with medium-length brunette hair, a former captive of the aliens. Her name is Annette Durand with powerful psionic abilities, has a call sign "Rabbit" and a soldier trained in the Support class which serve as both a field medic and logistic support to the squad which ensure the safe return of the squad in the field. She is wearing similar to that of a Ghost Armor in design but this armor is called Psi- Armor which provide boost to the Psionic power of the user.

She is armed with a Plasma Rifle and Plasma Pistol as her primary and secondary weapons. The Plasma Rifle fires a jet of ionized gas through a focus magnetic field.

Annette Durand, Genetic Enhancement is similar to the team resident sniper Patricia Delgado.

The Sixth slot of the Team remains empty, to honor the previous holder of his sacrifice during the final battle against the Extraterrestrial, his sacrifice save Earth and Humanity from the explosion generated by the Temple Ship. The Commander honored the wishes of Alpha Team to not fill the last member slot.

"Everyone good?" Mad Dog asked which his team nodded "Let`s not keep Big Sky waiting in the hangar" Alpha Team leaves the Armory with the XCOM Staff giving them a Salute as they pass by them

Mission Control

"Alpha Team, You are being deployed near Yatsugatake Mountains. Few weeks ago we received intel that alien abductions are happening in that area, Strike Team was sent to investigate and found this." Bradford said and shows the picture of the werewolf Strike Team found "Dr. Vahlen believes somewhere in the mountain where it was first spotted is the entrance or clues to this Gensokyo that the werewolf mentioned. Your Objective is to assess the area if possible and find another specimen for Dr. Vahlen."

"Be careful Alpha Team, We have no intel of the area or the possible numbers they may have. So proceed with caution" Bradford Continued then switch communication channel address to the pilot of the Skyranger "Big Sky, Are scanners working and not giving you any problems?"

"Central, this is Big Sky all scanners are working and all green." Big Sky said

"We read you, Big Sky." Bradford answered "I just hope Dr. Vahlen hasn't put much weight on your bird?"

"Negative Central, I can still fly the bird." Big Sky said "Although I felt it got fatter from the weight of the added equipment."

The mission was set to begin few days ago however said that she needed to have the Skyranger equipped with sensors to record the activities of the Blade Key attach on the ceiling inside the aircraft which was in between the Pilot and Passengers. This put a setback but the Engineering team managed to finish the task. Central Officer Bradford was looking at the live camera feed provided by Skyranger as it approached the Area of Operations

"Dr. Vahlen apologizes for making your baby fat, Big Sky but she was very persuasive in her words." Bradford joked and gives a small smile to Dr. Vahlen who was beside him as they watch the live feed of Skyranger as it flies, along with the rest of the staff at Mission Control laughed at the joke. Dr. Vahlen was shaking her head at the joke at her expense but it sure slightly lighten the mood.

"Central, this is Big Sky we`re coming into range" Big Sky said "Currently looking for a spot to land." Big Sky then suddenly panicked "Central, readings from the artifact suddenly spike, Alpha-1 contacted me the artifact is glowing at increasing intensity. Advise over?"

Before Bradford could reply back, the Skyranger disappear from the map even the screen that shows the live feed from the Skyranger is now only display NO SIGNAL, this cause several of the XCOM staff manning the consoles on mission control to panic

"Sir we`ve lost contact with Big Sky" XCOM Staff reported

"Did you pick any mayday signal?" Bradford said "Any indication that the Skyranger was destroyed?"

"No sir, the moment they entered the area, they just disappear from radar, any attempt we made to reestablish contact was met with failure, it includes the tracking device aboard the aircraft." XCOM staff said "It`s like they disappear from the face of the Earth"

"Do we have any Satellites watching their approach?" Bradford asked

The personnel began typing of series of commands to his console before looking at Bradford and said "Yes Sir, RECON satellite Delta two was on the area monitoring"

"Show it" Bradford said before the screen displays the reply. They saw the Skyranger continue to fly and at a certain point suddenly disappear like it went invisible all of the sudden "Magnify on the spot where the Skyranger disappeared and slow down the video" The screen zoomed to the point they could clearly see the top view of the aircraft as it slowly disappear with a ripple or distortion like effect surrounding the aircraft

"Dr. Vahlen, any explanation to the disappearance of Big Sky?" Bradford asked the Doctor who was busy looking at the datapad she is holding probably analyzing the situation

"It looks like that Skyranger entered a barrier of some kind" said like she was uncertain of her answer "I theorize that the artifact we attached inside the Skyranger reacted to this barrier and let the aircraft in."

"Remember that prior to the mission, we have sent several recon planes and drones to the area to scout yet nothing similar happened" Dr. Vahlen continued "They were all equip with best scanners and cameras that the Engineering team could build"

"So you're telling me Doctor, that the artifact worked?"

"As I said, whatever the barrier is made of, it is powerful enough to keep things out and avoid most of the detection methods we use."

People in the Mission Control could only watch the pause video of Skyranger with half of its body slowly disappears, they could only hope for the survival of Big Sky and Alpha Team as they are inside enemy territory with no possible reinforcement to rescue them and communications cut off.

Somewhere in Tokyo

"BREAKING NEWS… Possible Remaining Aliens in Japan, on Yatsugatake Mountains" Plastered on every electronic billboard as the News Anchor deliver the news

A person was sipping her milkshake as she looks at the news being presented by a news Anchor which garnered the attention of every passerby in the streets and cafes. This person was wearing a deep purple dress, a pale pink mob cap with a thin red ribbon and smaller ribbons tied liberally on her accessories and the tips of her hair, on the table was paper fan and beside her is a pink lace parasol

"Seems, the humans began taking more of an active approach to this so called alien. " She commented with a sighed "It will be only matter of time before they will find out about that place."

"The world began to recover its lost energy enough to make a livable condition but far compared to the ancient past" She added still talking herself with a low voice that no one could hear

"Once a fragmented race always arguing with each other on senseless topics, exploiting the powerless where power is might creating a cruel world" She said stirring her milkshake "The arrival of the invaders change it, when this new foe emerge and declared war against humanity, they starting to unite under a single banner and the weapons they carefully constructed to control their own baser instinct were now not aimed at themselves but against a deadly opponent in pursuit of a shared goal, the very survival of Humanity. " She finished her milkshake and picked up her things before exiting the café and casually walks down a few blocks and turns right to an alley away from people

"Humanity began to recover and rebuild what they lost, yet instead of a divided front they began helping each other while the distrust may not disappear overnight it is a start for something new. " She mused to herself "Humanity has come a long way"

"The Government has urged the public to remain calm as the military will deal with these Aliens on Japanese soil, the United States of America is willing to lend military assistance to affected allies" The News Anchor said "The Prime Minister will give a Statement regarding this issue tonight"

"A truly interesting era that we live in" She said before a distortion or gap appeared in front of her and walked inside of it without alerting any persons nearby "Yet, I wonder where will we fit in this new era." she said with a small sad tone on her voice before going inside the gap

VIGILO CONFIDO

End of Chapter 2

A/N: Pretty sure you guys know, who is the lady on the last scene of the chapter

Describing Alpha Team is basically the hardest I written. If anyone asked how they look like, I let it to your imagination on how they look like with the exception of Annette Durand and Shaojie Zhang (Chilong) since they have images you can find on XCOM wiki.

Special Thanks to my Friend who Beta read the chapter
