Epilogue

~ Hereafter ~

Before him, on the main monitor of his machine, the former wishful author could see a sea of hostile signatures. Time-Space Administration Bureau's Enforcer Ave J.C Takamachi couldn't help but to show some signs of annoyance as he scanned over the terrain and enemy signatures being displayed on Gespenst Haken's main monitor through the datalink download. The very red hostile signature markings pretty much drowning area B07 in an ocean of crimson on his map. Even now, with imposed strict maximum altitude limit of 400m in the region, the said metallic jet-black humanoid fighting machine identified as Personal Trooper (PT) Gespenst Haken could be seen flying across the beach head set up along Sakhalin coast followed by Time-Space Administration Bureau's (TSAB) very first TSF squadron of twelve F-16 series Fighting Falcon, in which identified even further to be eleven F-16C single-seated variant Fighting Falcon and one F-16D double-seated variant Fighting Falcon that belongs to Inter-Dimensional Autonomous Squadron 765.

"I wonder from where these BETAs are coming from? The nearest hive couldn't be possibly having its tunnels all the way out here, can it?"

As the former wishful author muttered alone, he saw the other closest squadron from his position in which was quickly identified as the newly recommissioned Valkyrie Squadron of twelve Test Type-01 Shiranui Second TSFs flying across the battlefield while raining the countless number of BETAs bellow with metal rains of death. It was when Ave remembered on how his involvement together with TSAB, Celestial Being and ZEUTH manage to alter the destiny of those who took the Valkyrie emblems proudly on their TSFs' left shoulders. He knew fully over the fact that changing one predetermined destiny would never be an easy task as in order to change and save one thing, another thing need to be sacrificed.

He could remember on how his idealistic view for wanting to be a "hero of justice" almost made him lost all the faith over what he was actually aiming for in the very beginning of his journey. Ave also remembered on how he became cynical after he realized the fact that with his strength alone, he could never save everyone entirely. Thankfully however, his newfound family's kindness and perseverance especially from his adoptive eldest sister captain Nanoha Takamachi as well as his adoptive youngest sister (or perhaps niece) Vivio Takamachi along with everyone else, the former wishful author manage to stood back on his own feet and move forward for the very goal he was aiming to achieve. In order to save as many as he could and becoming the real "hero of justice" he always longed to be, Ave decided not to give in to his despaired feeling and once again fight his war.

"Meister Ave…I received request for help from the direction not far in front of us…" super-deformed hologram of Reinforce Eins popped out from the main hologram projector installed on Gespenst Haken's onboard computer as Ave quickly nodded back in affirmative before giving his unison device Reinforce Eins further instruction. "Acknowledged…could you patch them through the main channel Reinforce?" the former wishful author asked, as chibi-Reinforce Eins quickly nodded in affirmative before patching through the incoming transmission while in the same time activating Gespenst Haken's automatic translation program to do the job as well.

"Zhar 1 to Assault 1…my battalion is closing in, contact imminent! Requesting artillery fire to support my approach! Zhar 1 to Valkyrie 1! Contact imminent! Requesting artillery fire to support my approach as well!"

It was the voice of young woman that was echoed in Ave's ears, as his Gespenst Haken's automatic translation program did very good job for translating it. It was when the former wishful author saw the entire Valkyrie squadron already made their first move in order to support Zhar 1 and her battalion around the same time when he requested chibi-Reinforce Eins to enlarge his Gespenst Haken's tactical map in order to confirm the Zhar battalion's current location and light path. It was when Ave began to issue his order as soon as he finished his confirmation.

"Assault 1 to the rest of Assault call signs! Switch fire to cover the Soviets and Valkyries as they link up! Target the area point R03, R05 and R08 simultaneously! Let's give the Soviets and Valkyries red carpet welcome!"

"Roger!"

As the twelve F-16C/ D Fighting Falcon TSFs began to spread out in order to support the Russian advance, Ave could clearly see the emblem of the burning sword and shield, symbolizing the burning passion of war and desire to protect, adorning the shoulder plate of all Su-37M2 and Su-27SM TSFs now charging into the fray. From their movements and coordination, Ave could tell that they were well trained and experienced, indeed he expected no less from a battalion of such renowned and possessing battle honoured history. Judging from their movements, its clear those Su-37M2 and Su-27SM TSFs were also equipped with XM3 Ver.2.7 OS the latest version of XM3 OS previously developed by Alternative IV's chief project professor Yuuko Kouzuki and first lieutenant Takeru Shirogane before being perfected over time with input mainly from TC-OS Ver.2.0 used by his Gespenst Haken.

"Seeing this…captain Munakata and everyone else must be feeling really proud for contributing significant contribution over mankind's survival in this Alternative and Unlimited World…" Ave muttered alone inside his heart as he couldn't help himself from smiling and chuckling as he remembered on how long ago he was also getting himself involved in the development of the newest version of XM3 OS after he was assigned as part of TSAB's liaison for Project Prominence and XFJ Plan.

Even though it was just a small part he contributed in XM3 OS development by providing Alternative IV Project with the combat data of his Personal Trooper Gespenst Haken as well as the programming code of TC-OS with permission from Caledfwlch Techniques, Mao Industry and Tesla Leicht Institute, Ave couldn't help but to feel proud when he saw the newest and perfected version of XM3 OS being used by TSFs not only from all corners of the Alternative and Unlimited World but also other squadrons assigned as expeditionary peacekeeping forces across multiple multiverse out there. In the same time as well the former wishful author also certain that Munakata as well as the rest of surviving members of Isumi Valkyrie would definitely be proud as well.

"Ne! Ne! Niichan! You must hear this! Ami find this is really fun to listen!" the eldest Futami twins that was identified as ensign Ami Futami and sharing the same call sign Assault 11 together with her youngest twin contacted the former wishful author via her double-seated F-16D Fighting Falcon's communicator as she grinned mischievously at the said former wishful author himself. "Hopefully this better be important or at least fun…" Ave muttered alone deep down inside his heart as he acknowledged Ami's request by nodding at the eldest Futami twin that was sit on the rear seat of her double-seated F-16D Fighting Falcon and acted as weapon system and radar control officer meanwhile her younger twin ensign Mami Futami acted as the pilot of the said TSF while sitting on the front seat.

"Ami's info will always fun Niichan! Mami will definitely guarantee it as well!" Mami added her own remark in order to support her eldest sister's remark, as she grinned at the former wishful author in front of her while she manoeuvre her F-16D Fighting Falcon in complex manoeuvring while her eldest twin Ami activated four AMWS-21 Combat Systems simultaneously before systematically raining the sea of grapple-class BETAs and destroyer-class BETAs bellow with rain of 36mm calibre ammunition rounds. "Well, let's see…since I also personally curious over the funny thing those Futami twins want me to listen…" the former wishful author Ave made his remark, as he asked chibi-Reinforce Eins and Tink Erbel to switch Gespenst Haken's communication frequency to the one given by Ami and Mami just before.

"Valkyrie 3 to Valkyrie 8, you're charging to far ahead! Learn to watch your surroundings, damn it! Geeez, I can't believe you are former captain Isumi's youngest sister!" Ave startled in surprise as he heard first lieutenant Akane Suzumiya's shout echoed around him, as the former wishful fanfic author himself couldn't help from smiling and chuckled alone in amusement. "Valkyrie 8, roger that! But with all due respect, shut the fuck up, and you're too slow, learn to keep up!" this time Valkyrie 8 could be heard retorted back with her own shout and spat, as Ave couldn't help himself from laughing after the thought that Akane Suzumiya finally found her equal in form of second lieutenant Akira Isumi that happens to be the youngest sister of former Isumi Valkyrie's captain; Michiru Isumi herself.

"This is surely hilarious and I wonder if Munakata somehow enjoying it behind her Shiranui Second's cockpit…" with that kind of amusing thought inside his mind, Ave's Gespenst Haken slowly descended to the battlefield bellow as he was activating his Grand Plasma Cutter and cleaved the incoming grappler-class BETA into half at easy. "Meister Ave…another group of destroyer-class and grappler-class totalling 30000 of them are approaching toward our direction…ETA would be around eight minutes…" Reinforce Eins informed the former wishful author that was switching his Personal Trooper Gespenst Haken's armament from Grand Plasma Cutter to M90 assault rifle in order to welcome the new BETA hordes in front of him.

"Assault 1 to all Assault call signs! Switch to case 26-C…everything is at your discretion as you support our Soviet allies and those bickering Valkyries! Conserve ammunitions until reinforcement arrive in around fifteen minutes and after that do whatever you want!" the cheered sounds could be clearly heard as Ami and Mami's cheering definitely be the most audible one by the time Ave finished issuing his order.

"Zhar 1 to Assault 1 and Valkyrie 1, impressive! My thanks to you, friends from Imperial Japan and faraway lands…" around the same time after Ave finished on issuing his order to the rest of Inter-Dimensional Autonomous Squadron's members, he could hear the squad leader of Zhar Battalion personally contacted him along with the leader of Valkyrie Squadron in order to offer his thankful gratitude for the support fire her squad was just received. "Always my pleasure, comrade…" Ave replied back as he smiled for knowing that Zhar Battalion manage to push through the enemies' defense line and soon enough it would be Valkyrie Squadron as well as his own squadron turn to perform direct assault to obliterate the main firepower of their enemies known as laser-class and heavy laser-class BETA strains across the coast of Sakhalin in order to pave the road for future operation of reclaiming Blagoveshchensk hive and the surrounding region of Heliongjiang province from BETA occupation.

"Assault 1 to all Assault call signs as well as Valkyrie 1 and the rest of Valkyrie call signs! Link up with Russians complete! We are now will be taking care of those laser-classes now, but don't forget to watch your own back!"

"Valkyrie 1 to Assault 1, there are two Magnus Lux-class unaccounted on the rear position of the enemies' brigade…Valkyrie 3 and Valkyrie 8 now are on the way to take care the leftover trash!" as soon as Ave finished his instruction, he could hear an affirmative reply from the Valkyrie Squadron's squad leader identified by captain Misae Munakata he previously knew and fought together during the darkest history of mankind in Alternative and Unlimited World. It was when the former wishful author once again remembered on how he manage to renewed his resolve after he met the previous Valkyrie Squadron's members that would be famously referred as Isumi Valkyrie and manage to alter their doomed fate albeit with the expense of many other precious things he sacrificed in order to obtain what he mean to obtain in the end, even though sadly, in reality not all Isumi Valkyrie's members were saved from their doomed fate.

"Valkyrie 3, roger! Alpha and Bravo flights, on me together with Valkyrie 8! Do not disgrace the name of Storm Vanguard! Charge!" this time first lieutenant Akane Suzumiya screamed a high-spirited war-cry from her lung, as she led the rest of Storm Vanguard from Imperial Japan Army (IJA)/ United States of Japan Self Defense Force in order to follow Valkyrie 1's order, as Ave couldn't help himself from smiling alone in amusement as soon as he saw six Storm Vanguards of IJA began on performing frontal heavy assault against their target. "Assault 1-san, what should we do?" Assault 2 that being identified as first lieutenant Haruka Amami asked, as her F-16C Fighting Falcon landed on the nearby coast before pouring the incoming grappler-class BETAs with her four AMWS-21 Combat Systems simultaneously.

"Assault 1 to Assault 2 and the rest of Assault call signs! The main objective will remain the same, against our enemies we will be using case 26-C and everything is at your discretion, however don't let your guard down!" the former wishful author Ave replied back at Haruka Amami's question while in the same time gave his instruction as well to the rest of Inter-Dimensional Autonomous Squadron 765's members. Suppressing his own sense of nervousness, Ave resisted the urge to establish contact with Valkyrie 1 captain Misae Munakata and/ or Valkyrie 2 vice-captain Touko Kazama on private channels in order to ask for any small advice in order to lessen his own nervousness, when in reality there is nothing he could do that haven't be done already.

It was when Ave took another deep breath and stared at the twelve F-16C/D Fighting Falcon TSFs began to join the fray together with the rest of Shiranui Second TSFs of IJA and Valkyrie Squadron, as his lip formed a small gentle Takamachi smile. "Meister Ave?" Reinforce Eins asked, as the chibi-hologram of the first generation Reinforce once again appeared in front of him and asked the said former wishful author with concerned expression on her face as well as her beautiful crystal burgundy eyes. It was when Ave just shook his head before giving his reply at Reinforce Eins.

"Don't worry Reinforce…I might just be worrying too much about many things…and at least now I understand fully on what I really need do…" Ave replied back at Reinforce Eins, as the chibi-Reinforce Eins herself quickly nodded in agreement over the said former wishful author's reply. Ave was right, as at this point there would be pointless to worry too much, since in reality there is nothing that he could do that hasn't been done already. In the end, it would be better to have faith and trust in the new generation to short themselves out and truly earn their place in this new world while gently watch over them and keep on supporting them from the rear. Once again with newfound resolve in his heart, the former wishful author Ave decided to fight for the better never ending tomorrow that he and his newfound family, friends and comrades wish to obtain.

August, 20XX, the same month of the said military operation, despite the losses and sacrifices, the land of Sakhalin Oblast of Alternative and Unlimited World was retaken by humanity. Once again Ave and his Gespenst Haken together with United States of Japan's Fuji Instructional Brigade have demonstrated to the world or perhaps countless multiple multiverse out there on what they could accomplish in the face of overwhelming odds together with their new blades Type-04 Shiranui Second TSFs as well as newfound friends and comrades across countless multiple multiverse out there.

It was when the new curtain of the tale for the never ending tomorrow of the newly formed worlds once again lifted and as long as they keep on believing on their newfound families, friends and comrades, nothing would be impossible for them to obtain as well as nothing would be beyond their grasp.
