Tsukento and Macro were both running through the streets of the USM. They knew that Arnold, Norman and Alfred Cookerman were there, and exactly what they were looking for. The remains of Melvan, who Tsukento killed. Tsukento kept some of the Chrystals of Melvan for Scientific research. They knew not of the power they were tampering with.

Tsukento and Macro kept franticly dashing through the streets.

"KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE!"
"What was that!" Macro cowardly yelled.
"I know that laugh!" Tsukento then threw a Kunai down an alley. He heards the sound of Chrystals being crushed.
"Why hello Tsuky!" Tsukento look aside at the noise. It was Alfred Cookerman

Tsukento drew his Scythe and cut Alfred's head off to no effect. He head shattered, and the Chrystals crawled back to his neck.

"I am not here to fight you." Alfred said
"Just give me the Melvan Chrystals."
"Never." Tsukneto said
"I didn't want to fight you..." Alfred was interuped by a gunshot.

"And you won't be" Lock-On was sittin on top of the building.

July 10, 2087

Nich fired at Tsueknto. Tsukento attempted to kick him, but this was futile. Nich was able to shoot Tuskento in the arm. Ounce's of blood leaked from him arm. Tsukento smirked. "Good. I've been wanting to test this" He said. "Endless Whirlwinds!" A giant spear of wind cut Nich's arm off. Tsukento was covered in blood. Both his own and Nich's.

"Now will you answer me?" Tsukento barked.
"I suppose." Nich replied.
"Why did you attack Macro and run?"
"I was simply looking for a more challenging opponent. When the fight doesn't satisfy me I run away."
"What is this power?"
"There are three true powers. Witei, Darkai, and Ambar. I Possess the power of Witei, yours is Darkai. Shishune has the rare power of Ambar. When you kill someone with a power, you absorb it. Although half of it is lost in the process."
"Also. What is your connection with Shishune."
"I am in his clan."
"His clan! What!"

Just then Nich collapsed. Tsukento absorbed his power.
"You will never stop the Melvan invadion." Nich said with his last breath of air. Tsukento did not listen. He walked away.

"Alfred! Arnold! Get over here." Said a figure, wereing a cloak.
"Yes master?" The two other figures said.
"Looks like the Melvan invadion will be happening sooner than expected."

July 9, 2087

Tsukento jumped on top of another building. Still nothing. He had yet to find Nich. Jack Ruby and Macro have tried their hardest, but their skill could not compare to Tsukento's Darkai powers that let him jump off of things with ease. Darkai also gave Tsukento the ability to not sleep for weeks on end.

Then Tsukento landed in an alley to rest. A fast white bullet quickly shot at him from behind a Dumpster. Tsukento destroyed it. Nich was there. Tsukento reconised his White glow. It was similar to Shishune's red glow and his own Violet glow. Tsukento just had more questions. Just then Nich ran away.

"Wait!" Tsukento barked. Nich stopped.
"Ah finally. A worthy opponent." Nich said. While smiling.
"What is your link to Shishune?"
"How about this. If you can beat me. I will answer all the questions you have"
"Fair enough" Tsukento drew his scythe, as his watch hit midnight.

July 4, 2087 1/2

Jack Ruby and Macro have sent the police after Nich, or at least his corpse. They had been looking ever since the incident. Still nothing came up. If Tsukento were here, he could find Nich easily. He was much better at this type of thing, then the police. Also they were were worried about Cuba's next action. With Nich and Tsukento missing, they wouldn't stand a chance. But Cuba has been quietly waiting for awhile.

Tsukento was training his new found Darkai powers. Though he wasn't sure how. All he could do with them was spawn crystals that flew at targets. He felt a dark presence above him. He looked up, and sure enough there was a dark figure floting above him.

"I am Void! Guardian #981 of the Darkai Court. I have come to kill a wrongful owner. That is you. Tsukento." Said the Dark Figure.
"How do you know my name?" Tsukento barked.
"I have been studying you. If I kill you I will rank up!"
"What?"
"I guess I'll explain. The Darkai Court has 1000 Guardians. We take command from #1. I've never seen her in person. We can also transfer powers. This is if we don't want our duty's. #1000 Jiggi gave his power to a Mortal called Chisane. You must of somehow killed him. If I kill you I might even rank up."

Tsukento without thinking threw hundreds of Crystals at Void. He dodged them all effortlessly. He seemed impossible to kill. Suddenly a huge red blade came down and cut Void in half.

Tsukento looked over to his side. It was Shishune!

July 3, 2087

Tsukento has been gone for awhile. He was starting to get used to being back in Shinjuku. But he couldn't stop wondering what progress they had made. If they had found Shishune yet. He did realize that it was not healthy obsessing over Shishune and the current state of the War.

"I need a drink" Tsukento said to himself. He walked into a bar called Kuroneko. Although he wasn't old enough to drink, he looked like a 23 year old and had a Fake ID card to support this. He sat down and had a drink.

"Hey you." Said a strange man who was sitting next to Tsukento. He was pointing at his scythe.
"Yes, what is it." Tsukento replied.
"Can you use that weapon, or are you just Cosplaying?"
"Can I use it? For your information, I'm Commander Jack Ruby's Elite Guard."
"That's awesome. I was in the Military before the Cubans took over."
"Really? What were you."
"I was the best damn Sharpshooter, the Japanese Military had ever seen."
"Now this Japan is in the USM, why don't you go back."
"I'm too old now. I'm 31 you know."
"That doesn't mean anything. I know the current sharpshooter and he is a total spaz. I'm sure Commander Ruby will enjoy having you in the army."
"Well I might just do that!"
"By the way, I never got your name. I'm Tsukento."
"I'm Lock-On. Lock-On Sapphire."

Tsukento and Lock-On had just finished their drinks, and left together. They were going to the recruitment center.

July 2, 2087

"Are the preparations ready?." Robo-Castro Said.

"Quite. I'll go on my vacation now." Replied Shishune.

"Fine. Just down take too long."

Tsukento had left two days ago and was in Shinjuku. Jack Ruby and his armies are not currently fighting. Jack thought the army could use a break. Everyone was layed back. Everyone exept for Nich. Nich had been training all day. He just kept shooting the same target. You couldn't even tell there used to be marks, it was so black.

"What's your problem." Macro said as he walked in.

"Shut Up." Nich said, still shooting.

"Are you deaf? Commander Ruby ordered us to take a break"

"Well I don't care."

Macro walked away. While he was walking, a bullet flew right by his head. It was shot by Nich.

"What the hell are you doing!" Macro yelled.
"Ah. What indeed." Nich replied calmly, while grinning.

Macro quickly pulled out a short sword and started fighting. He was able to stab Nich in the arm. Nich was still grinning. He licked the blood on his arm and charged at Macro, while shooting. Nich jumped on the window sill and taunted Macro. Macro then shot him several times. He fell out the window, but still had the abilty to walk away. Macro was confused.

Minute later Macro reported what had happened to Jack. He was a bit angry that he lost his sharpshooter, and had to rethink his stratagy. Jack said he needed to know why Nich did this, but he was that Macro wasn't killed.

June 30, 2087

Today, Tsukento was getting out of the military for at least 5 months, before Jack Ruby can call him back in. Jack knew this was a problem. Up to this point, Tsukento is his top Soldier, and the USM Armies will be at a disadvantage.

"We will be fine without you, Tsukento." Said Jack
"That's not it." Tsukento replied. "I just have to see Macro."

Tsukento walked into Macro's workshop.

"Uhh... Macro?" Tsukento asked
"Yes, Tsukento?" Macro said as he was working on the тэг
"I have to ask you something"

Tsukento explained about the Chisane and the Dark Arrow.

"I've read about this." Macro said

"This is the power of Darkai, it has four possible outcomes. The first one is that you will die. But the arrow did not kill you so I'm assuming your fine for the time being. The second one is that you can control the power, and use it for your own advantage. This is the least likely, though it is the best. The third one, is that the power will destroy your physical form, and you will just be a visible spirit. And the forth outcome is that a Guardian Spirit will come attempt to kill you." Macro continued

Tsukento under stood this. "Then I shall just try to overcome this." he said
"Are you insane!" Macro barked.
"Its me or the power, right. This is just what I need to finally kill Shishune."
"Your so stubborn. I suppose there's no changing your mind."

Tsukento left to his room to go pack his bags. He left for the Airport.

June 26, 2087

Now that Mongolia had grown even larger, Jack Ruby called for a celebration in Shinjuku. "Greetings, Soldiers, new and old Citizens. The Prime Minister and I have decided we cannot stay as just Mongolia. The country's have to have their independence, do they not? From this moment on we shall all be known as the United States of Mongolia!" Soldier Chanted in Valor, while Citizens chanted in glee, knowing that the Cuban Oppressors are gone... for now.

The Cuban forces had fought back for their land, just hours after the Mongolian Invasion. They reformed their forces and were preparing another attack. As was the USM, except they were going for Zone-2, what used to be Poland, Austria, and Germany. It was apparent that two major battles will be on one day.

June 25, 2087

"The тэг is ready Commander Ruby!" Said Macro. Jack Ruby looked at the Mech. "тэг? Is that that what you called it?" Jack asked. "I think it just fits it perfectly, does it not?" Macro Replied.

Tsukento walked into the room. He had a bandage on hid right arm and a Scar on his left cheek. His dark red hair had grown at least 4 centimeters longer, and now covered his left eye.

"What happened to your Spear?" Macro said
"I had it converted into a Scythe. All they did is add more Orichalcum to the blade."
"But you got that back in Shinjuku!"
"Its still the same weapon."
"Now's not the time to be arguing!" Jack barked. "Gather troops. I have something to say"

Tsukento got the Army out of the Lunchroom out to the Hanger. "Men! Today is the day when we head straight to Zone-13 of the Cuban Empire." Jack said. In 2087 the is far different from Jack's time. The country that was known as Russia is now nothing but a waste land after they held their war against the United States, which is now Zone-9. Zone-13 is the lower part of China and South Korea, while the rest of China, North Korea and Japan are owned by Mongolia. A deal made to fight the Cuban Empire.

Some Soldiers got into their Armored Cars. There was also a Ground Force led by Tsukento, and a Air Force led by Nich. Jack Got into the тэг and traveled by Tsukento's Forces. Tsukento was shocked to see Jack fight on the Front Lines, and for Macro to build something like this from scratch.

They quickly invaded Zone-13 and head-on fought the on coming Micro Cuban Pengins, the ordinary Soldiers, the elite ones, as well as a high ranking Pilot, Chisane. Tsukento used the Plasma Gloves to destroy the Pengins with ease, but the Airforces where struggling with Chisane. That's when Jack flew the тэг up to Chisane's Plane. It was an electric blue color and had a lot of weapons attached to it. Jack lured Chisane into a corner, and just about as he was about to use the Plasma Cannon when Chisane ejected. "That was a bad move." Jack said. Because of Chisane's cowardliness, Jack was able to destroy the Cuban Soldiers with ease, in the тэг. The remaining forces retreated to the Cuban Homeland. Zone-13 was now Part of Mongolia.




Note: тэг means Zero in Mongolian

June 23, 2087

Tsukento had left for Canada. He had been on the Plane for 32 hours, and was finally getting off. After leaving the Airport in Alaska, Tsukento starts to hitchhike to Vancouver. That where his information says that Melvan is hiding.

"Will this thing work?" Asked Jack Ruby, looking at the large Purple Mech that lies in front of him. "I made it myself." said Macro. Jack had hired Macro to build a weapon for him. Although not what he expected, Jack still got in it. "Stomp the left pedal!" Macro said. Jack stomped the left pedal and Machine Gun fire came out of the arms of the Mech. "If you press the red button in front of you a giant Plasma Cannon will shoot out. But don't do it now. It would be a waste." Macro told Jack to get out as the Mech was still a prototype.

Tsukento Had been dropped off at Vancouver. He saw an old laboratory. This was a familiar location to Tsukento. He broke open the door with his Spear and walked in. Sure enough, Melvan was standing right in front of him. He was diffrent.

Without talking, Tsukento attacked Melvan. Melvan's arm had turned into a solid Crystal. "That's right Tsukento. Long time no see. This is how I ended up after you and that bastard Macro, left me in this lab... You thought I was dead. Well think again." Melvan jumped into the air, and fired 18 Crystals out of his arms, they regrew instantly.

"Thats Impossible!" Tsukento barked
"After that incedent I was Crystalized and Destroyed. But a man collected all of the Crystals and put me back together."
"Who the Hell did it."
"I'm never telling you"

Tsukento Stabbed at Melvan, but the Crystals were able to block the attack. Tsukento was in critical condition, But Melvan only had minor injuries. Suddenly, Melvan got an idea. He had a toggle switch on the Plasma Gloves that Macro put in. The more power, the higher strain on his body. Tsukento turned it on MAX. He started to glow Purple. With one direct attack on Melvans Chest, Melvan started to crack.

"Who rebuilt you!" Tsukento said
"Shi... Shu... Ne"
"Shishune! Him too!"
"He joined the Cuban army 3 months ago"

Melvan cracked into pieces. Tsukento began to walk away.

June 21, 2087

At the crack of dawn, there was a load noise over the Mongolian Base. This was Robo-Castro's Flagship. Jack Ruby noticed this and woke his Army up. Tsukento was already out of bed. He was on the Phone. The Mongolians marched out to the front lines. The Flagship was overhead, while Robo-Castro's Royal Guard attacked the troops. Tsukento did his best to defend Jack but the Royal Guard's Plasma Gloves were nearly unbeatable. The Plasma Gloves were these metal looking gloves that when ever moved, formed a blade that locks on to the target. The Plasma Gloves can also be synced to a weapon. The Royal Guard's weapon was a large circular boomerang. The Royal Guard also have a Plasma Shield that's attached to their body's.

Although there were only ten of the Royal Guard, the Mongolians Soldiers were being beaten. Jack was Protected well by Tsukento and Nich, but there was no way to fend off the Royal Guard and prevent Robo-Castro Flagship from landing. Just then, Macro came and killed one of the Royal Guard with a Kunai made of Silicone. "The problem with any kind of electronic based plasma weaponry, is that it cant defend against silicone." Macro shouted triumphantly. Macro handed A Katana made of Silicone, and he quickly killed 3 of the Royal Guard. He was able to even capture a pair of Plasma Gloves.

The Flagship retreated when the remaining Royal Guards Told them about their loss. Macro returned with the Mongolian Soldiers.

"I thought you still led the Sub-Asians." Asked Tsukento.
"I'm afraid that they were killed by Melvan Cookerman" Replied Macro
"Melvan! That Bastard is still alive."
"He was too strong. He now rules the southern part of Canada."
"Impossible! How did He manage to do that!"
"Anyway. I made some changes to the Plasma Gloves."

Macro handed him the modded Plasma Gloves. They glowed a bright neon Purple, as apposed to the dark Red they had before. Tsukento put them on. He was able to sync his Spear to the Plasma. "Your attacks should be 57% stronger now. I also worked out the silicone bug, and if your cross your arms a shield will appear in front of you." Said Macro. Tsukento nodded.

Jack got in front of Tsukento. "For outstanding work. You may take a 2 week vacation." Jack said. "Great. I know just where to go." said Tsukento. He walked out of the room. "Where are you going, Tsukento!" Asked Macro.

"Canada." Tsukento marched off.

June 20, 2087

After the historic battle yesterday, even Tsukento had to agree that Jack Ruby is a great Commander. Jack marched in to give a speech to his men.

"Yesterday was a historic victory for Mongolia, but I fear that the next time we face our Cuban adversary, they will have a way to counter our attack plan." Jack said. "But fret not. As I have a new strategy for the battlefield, which is top secret"

Although not knowing what challenges await them, the Mongolian Army continued to celebrate their victory. Jack returned to his Quarters. He had lied. In truth Jack had no new battle plan. His frustration just grew when he heard that the Prime Minister was coming to inspect tomorrow.

After the celebration, Tsukento left to visit a friend just west of the Command Center. Macro, Tsukento's friend and leader of the Sub-Asians was standing next to him.

After talking to Macro, Tsukento returned to the Base. Jack was training the Armies at the Shooting Range. One Soldier stood from the rest. His name is Nich, and he could hit a target from 100 Meters away on the bulls eye. Tsukento was no good at firing a Gun. His weapon of choice was a Spear made of Orichalcum. This Spear was one Meter long and the handle was made out of 100% pure Mahogany wood, painted Neon Purple.
