5 Chapter 5

Title:"Are they intruders or guinea pigs? "

"Hmmmmm, I can put it on the sand bar." said Alfonso as he observed the whole 3d map provided by his system.Natasha was beside him, she was also observing the whole place for any danger. His Premiere and boyfriend is about to construct a new faction's base. She was excited to see what do they have to offer for her Premiere.As for what nationality they have, she didn't care as long as they're loyal to the Premiere even if they're Americans.

'Duck, I can't decide where I would out the headquarters!I can't just put it anywhere! There wouldn't be art in that!' thought Alfonso in irritation as he can't decide where to construct the Japanese headquarters.

"Comrade, why don't you put it here, it will be hidden and we can modify an airfield to have an extending runwsy here." said Natasha as she marked a steep land where a hole that leads to underground can be seen.

"Natasha you're a genius! Why haren't I thought of that!" exclaimed Alfonso as he suddenly hugged Natasha.This hug made Natasha blush, their relationship may be romantic but she still can't seem to be used on this physical show of affections. But nonetheless she also hugged Alfonso.

"Okay, let's start moving now." said Alfonso as he broke the hug and started walking towards the marked place.

A couple of minutes later they arrived at the hole and Alfonso let his conscripts that acts as his bodyguard enter first to ensure everything is safe. After another a couple of minutes the conscripts fully explored the underground and checked everything is safe they let Alfonso entered.

Once Alfonso entered he was shocked to see what's inside the hole. The inside of the hole looks like a rebel base butbwas now abandoned.Stretchers, beds, etc. can be seen on a the largest area inside the hole.

"Have you checked everything? This looks like a secret rebel base of some sort." asked Natasha to a nearby soldier. Natasha is really worthy to be called the Soviet's finest soldier. She isn't just great at killing but also smart.

"Yes" answered the conscript without any emotion.

"Check it again, everything must be triple checked for any rebel or people inside.We can't let them see us here and by any chance you encountered a human quickly report it to us." ordered Natasha to the soldier who just nodded and other nearby soldiers also went and check the whole place again. Seeing this scene Alfonso felt weird. The conscripts doesn't know emotion or free will but they can answer any simple question such as a yes and no question but it's only simple.They can't answer mathematical questions and such. On the other hand they can follow each and every command you give them no matter how complicated it is and their usual yes and no response would differ if they need to report something.

Alfonso up to this day still found it strange that they mostly use yes and no when asked but if you gave them an order that they needed to do a report they suddenly can speak other words. He didn't bothered asking Natasha or the other 2 because he's sure they would hive him answer that, that's just how it is.

"Natasha, I want you to order the lock down of the whole lake, no one goes in, no one goes out." ordered Alfonso as he looked at Natasha who just nodded to him and started to radiod his orders. The instant the soldiers and vehicles got the command they turned their readiness to the extreme. The road that leads to the lake has 2 concripts guarding for anyone foolish enough to try and disturb their Premiere.

Alfonso stood with a straight back and chose the profile in his system.Once he chose it a window prompted that said he can now create another factions base. He clicked the close on the prompt and a window appeared with 2 a choice.

•Create a new profile

•Load an existing profile

Alfonso chosed the first option and on this window there are two insignia that can be seen. The insignia of The Empire of the Rising Sun and The Allies.He chose the Empire and a window prompted him confirming his choice.

"Do you wish to pick The Empire of the Rising Sun? Note you can only choose another faction once you've maxed out your previous chosen faction"

[Yes]

[No]

He stopped for a moment thinking if his choice is right. Eventually, he convinced himself that his choice is right for his current situation and clicked yes.The window disappeared and a new prompt sounded congratulating him. He just closed this window once inside the UI a familiar sound could be heard. The Imperial march on Red Alert 3.He didn't felt anything about it because he generally didn't like the Imperials so he just clicked on the the option construct buildings. After he clicked it the window changed a single lit up icon can be seen. The icon is the figure of the Emperor's Palace.He clicked this icon and designated the place where it would be built using the 3d map.

The construction quickly finished.It only took 10 seconds for it to he completed just like the command headquarters of the Soviets.

Natasha was mesmerized by this occurence and the building that seemingly appeared out of nowhere.She was shocked by its architectural design. It was something she has only seen once and it's during their conquest of Asia.She didn't thought that the faction her boyfriend was constructing was a faction that gave the Soviets a hard time due to technology on the other timelines

...

After hours of setting up the base,building ore collectors,Nanocores,etc. of the Imperials, Alfonso was finally finished.He originally thought that once an Imperial warrioir came out of the Instant Dojo Natasha will quickly kill it and question him why is he affiliated with those Imperial scums. But fate played with him and Natasha was totally okay with them. And that was the time where he felt confused.He knows that on Red Alert 3 the Soviets fought the Imperials because they have a front on Moscow which is thousands of kilometers away from the Imperial mainland. But now she looks at the Imperial warrior with awe.With the way they carried themselves she can see a Soviet soldier in them. So in order to eliminate confusions he decided to ask Natasha about this.

"Uh Natasha don't you feel any hatred about them? I mean your nations fought afterall." asked Alfonso with uncertainty in his voice.

"What do you mean comrade? Yes we fought people like them before but the people we fought weren't this.... manly and loyal. Because this people, no, this soldiers are just like our comrades, they were loyal to their leader and nation. Ready to die for them if needed.Unlike the similar looking people we fought who cowered the moment we appeared." said Natasha as she continued to look at the stream of Imperial warriors that were being summoned.

"Ah that explains it I guess." said Alfonso as he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.But the Alfonso still thought about her answer.

'As far as I know the Allied campaign is the canon. But her answer sounds like she came from a different world ir timeline at least. A timeline where the Soviets won and conquered the world just like the ending of the Soviet campaign in Red Alert 2,Yuri's Revenge, and Red Alert 3.' thought Alfonso deeply.Alfonso stopped his deep thought as Natasha heard a report from a conscript stationed on the road that leads to the lake. There were apparently Englishmen riding a 2 car like object that has no wheels instead has 4 legs that looks like an insect legs.They demanded to enter the lake but the 2 conscripts aimed their weapons to the Englishmen to shut them up before doing a report. The Englishmen in question was tourists that both came to Sardinia to wait for the flying object that a newspaper company said to be seen near Sardinia and escape the war in Europa.

"You ducking ungrateful russians! This isn't your nation to act as you please!" shouted a slim male Englishman.

"Don't aim your weapons to us! This isn't your nation! Go back to your ducking snow filled nation you ducking commie bastard!" backed up a fat female Englishman.

"Insert the russian translation(You shut up fat pig!)" said a conscript that he switched the safety switch off his gun.His other comrade entered the woods and already reported this to their Premiere and they were only waiting for orders.

"What did you say?! Use english you ducking commie! You're talking to an Englishman use English and not your stinky language commie!" the fat female Englishman shouted once again.Her saliva was flying all out the concscript who was aiming his ADK-45 with the safety switch off.This act didn't scare the least out of the woman as she started to use even more rascist words. This act of her also inspired her companions as they also started to spout racist comments but there's a beautiful teenage girl who just looked at them with a poker face and didn't spout racist words.

"Move now you stupid commie!" shouted the slim male Englishman.

"Move now! Your nation didn't helped against the Saxons in anyway! You people are not useful in any way! So move now and you can atleast tell your children that you helped a mighty Englishman!" shouted an adult male Englishman that has a curly moustache.

"Insert the russian translation(Words from the Premiere, they were to be restrained using any way possible, reinforcements will arrive in a minute.)" said the other conscript who just walked out of the woods to his comrade as he also aimed his gun to the group of tourists and slowly walked and stop beside his comrade. Both of them were watching the group with vigilance and once a sign of physical opposition was seen they will kill them without mercy.

"Tell me what did your commie leader said!" growled an adult that is on his 20's.The two conscripts continued their silence still waiting for the reinforcements.

"What now! Can't speak eh? Oh I remember that you don't know English you dumb commie!" shouted the fat female to the conscripts as she continued her racist rant. But before she could continue with her rant the ground shook lightly. This made the tourists silent. They all turned towards each other to ask if they felt it too. When everyone said that they felt it all of them turned to look at the woods behind the two conscripts just ti see 3 Sickles slowly crawling towards them with their machine guns aimed at their vehicle which dwarfed in comparison to this monster, accompanied by more than 50 conscripts all aimed at them.

All of them raised their hands, went silent and froze in fear in instict. They didn't thought of the possibility that the commie bastards they were shouting earlier called for backup. Now all they can do is keep their silence and do anything their captors wish. The two conscripts went near them and the two brought out positively charged electric handcuffs. The number of tourists in total is 7 each one of them is restrained by the electric handcuffs and were dragged out of their vehicles through the roof hatch.

The 3 of them were immediately thrown to the ground from the top of their vehicle hatch, once they fell they started coughing due to dust and tried to stand up. The moment the fat female Englishman saw what those two conscripts were doing she immediately tried to break free from her restraints but she was electrocuted every time she tried.She eventually was thrown to the ground without mercy and her fall is comical.Her fall looked like she just slipped from the platform as she almost did a flip but in reality she was pushed off the platform and slipped resulting in her comical fall. The moment she fell face first dust entered her mouth making her cough and spit.But due to her sheer weight she had a hard time standing.The other conscripts has to pull her from the arms to help her stand up.

When she gained her footing on the ground she immediately shouted at the conscript who pushed her. Calling him names.

"You stupid commie! Don't you know how to treat a fine young lady! Is this what your parents taught you?!" shouted the fat female as she kicked on the ground which produced dust trying to hit the man who pushed her who was still on top of the last vehicle hatch.

The two conscripts pushed a tourist each and left the girl who was silent earlier waiting to be pushed. The two fell to the ground and injured their elbows which they tried to use to cushion their fall.The girl who didn't spoke anything earlier waited for the conscript to push her as she thought of the best way to cushion her fall without injuring herself.

Contrary to her expectation the conscript that was near her didn't do anything to her.He just hanged his rifle on his back and patiently waited her to go down. This events confused the girl and she can't help herself but ask.

"Won't you push me down just like what you did with the rest?" asked the gir to the conscript who didn't answered her but just looked at her with no emotions.She felt embarrassed with this scene as she started to make her way to the ladder beside their vehicle. With great effort she managed to climb down the ladder and back to the solid ground. But she made a wrong step and lost her balance on the ladder. Because she was restrained by the handcuffs she didn't manage to stabilize herself in time to prevent her fall. The other tourists tried to help her but was scared that they might get shot if they moved an inch. The world seemed to slow down as the girl fell. The eyes of her companions can only look at her with pity and hope she won't severely injure herself.

But just as she was to fall she felt a hand grab her for under her knee and her back. When she opened her eyes she saw a man holding her in a princess carry style. The man just silently brought her down and returned to his original position.

As the whole tourist group was dumbfounded a man wearing the standard conscript outfit appeared in fron of the group and motioned to follow him. The other conscripts pulled everyone who was on the ground and made and stand up. The tourist group was silent the whole trip and so was the conscripts.The sounds of water flowing, wind blowing and the walking of the Sickles can be heard. But the girl who was saved earlier was on a deep thought.She never thought that these scary looking men won't hurt her.

The whole group made their way to a mound in the land that was big enough for a whole sickle to enter without any problem.

They entered the mound silently, no one from the tourists dared to speak.They were now thinking that they will surely die now. After a long japanese style wall they finally entered the whole underground Imperial base. On the center stood a big Emperor's Palace that signified the authority of Alfonso over the Imperials. The conscripts lead the tourists inside the palace gates and didn't go any further.

Outside the palace stood hordes of Imperial Warriors with their energy katana unsheathed.The scene terrified the group and some tried to run away but where quickly hit by the stock of a conscripts gun. The Imperial warriors did a full body search on each and every one of them to ensure they didn't have a weapon with them. After their fully searched the warriors lead them to the throne room where Alfonso and Natasha who changed clothes were having a tea party.

The moment Alfonso was notified about the tourists he immediately ordered for them to be escorted inside. Natasha quickly relayed his order and got the affirmative.But Alfonso didn't stoped there, he quickly ordered that a kimono be made for him and Natasha. And after the quick stitching they now have a kimono. Alfonso ordered Natasha to wear the kimono as so was he. His kimono is colored white with gold outlines and a big Imperial insignia on the back and the soviet insignia on the shoulders.Natasha's kimono on the other hand was colored red and also has golden outlines but she didn't contain the Imperial insignia instead on her back was the soviet insignia and on her shoulder was the Imperial.

Seeing this scene Alfonso made a mental note to customize everything customizable to avoid weird scenes like this.

As the tea was being served by a lovely japanese maiden Alfonso looked at Natasha with a loving smile. Alfonso poured a cup of tea for himself and Natasha and waited for Natasha to hold her cup. When Natasha finally decided to hold her cup. She tried to smell the tea and was engrossed by its fragrance that she can't wait to try it out. Alfonso saw this and he also held his tea cup and with a smile he drank it.Natasha also drank the tea but felt she was going to throw up due to its bitter taste that didn't compliment its great aroma.

As they both put down their own tea cups their expected visitors has already came.

The Imperial warriors bowed to Alfonso and Natasha as a sign of respect.Seeing this scene some of the in the tourist group including the beautiful girl from earlier also copied them and bowed to the couple in front of them.

The couple in front of them was wearing weird clothing that looks like some sort of an asian clothes and drinking tea. The man stood up and also bowed to their group which they interpreted as a sign of thanks. But apparently the fat woman who didn't bowed thought that this means that the man recognized her racial superiority because he bowed in front of her, started a racist rant once again.

"Hmph, I see that you've recognized our racial superiority.Now I demand you to compensate us with 500,000 pounds and let us go.We may let this whole incident slide." ranted the fat female. This caused the Imperial Warriors on their sides to unsheath their beam katana and enter a kendo form, ready to strike down the fat woman on a moment's notice.

Alfonso saw this scene and quickly motioned for the Imperial warriors to calm down and sheathe their katanas which they did. But his act just seemed to increased the fat woman feeling of entitlement.

"What are you people doing there bowing to someoone lower like him! You see he didn't dare hurt me, who's clearly higher than him!" shouted the woman to her companions. A certain Imperial guard was fed up with her that he unsheathed his beam katana and directly chopped the woman's head off.

The development of this event caused a slight lag on Alfonso as he didn't quickly registered what his subordinate had just done.

"Forgive me, your Imperial majesty for my failure to follow your order. I'm ready to give my life if this will let me redeem my honor." said the Imperial guard who cut down the woman who's body is now headless and was spasming in the ground dead.

Before anyone can react the Imperial warrior quickly stepped forward and brought out a dagger from his uniform. Alfonso got out of his dumbfounded situation as he saw the warrior unbutton his uniform and aimed the dagger at the side of his belly.Alfonso out of instinct stopped the soldier from continuing as he knew that it will end badly.

"That's no need great warrior of the Empire.What you did is admirable, but remember this is the Emperor's Palace, a sacred grounds. You can't just kill someone inside even if you want.Now redeem your lost honor by cleaning this mess!" ordered Alfonso to the soldier who looked at him with awe.The soldier quickly buttoned his uniform and hid the dagger back.He prostrated to the ground in thanks.

"Thank you your Imperial majesty, I would make sure the whole palace is clean and not one bit of this unsightly scene shalk remain." shouted the prostrated warrior.After the shout sounded the members of the tourist group finally processed in their mind what happened.The first one to process it was the slim man who apparently is the husband of the now dead woman. The moment he processed the whole situation he immediately shouted.

"Haaaaaa, you killed her you bastard!" shouted the slim man as he charged the still prostrated soldier trying to bash him using a rock he picked up. The other warriors are quick to react as they immediately subdued the man.The remaining 2 females of the group including the girl earlier was crying and whimpering as they felt hopelessness and pain from seeing their companions subdued and dead. The other 3 men lost their footing due to fear as they urinated themselves.

This scene disgusted Natasha who was eating a cheesecake. The only time she saw a man urinate himself out of fear was when she tortured him. But now they just urinated themselves just because they saw someone kill their companion in cold blood.

"Silence!" said Alfonso in low voice as everyone looked at him and the tourists started to shut up. He then turned to Natasha and gave her an order.

"Natasha, call Comrade Vladikovich tell him to send a squad of Psi-troopers. I would like to see how useful their ability were." ordered Alfonso to Natasha in which Natasha complied and took out a walkie talkie from the breasts pocket if her kimono and called Vladikovich.

Alfonso then turned to the group of tourist and surveyed each one of them. He deduced that this people should be a normal English family going on a vacation and at the same time trying to escape the horrors of war in Europa.

"Cough* I'm sorry for everything that happened here,I will compensate you with money, not that it will matter. But still, My purpose of gathering you here is that I would like to see your reaction on our technologies and find what you consider as the norm.So please cooperate, let's start with the slim man right here." said Alfonso to the family of tourists. The moment he got news of tourists that wanted to enter the lake he immediately thought that this would be a good way on getting the accepted norm on common people. Yes, he has seen the mechs, vehicles, guns, etc. of this world and has developed an idea on the norm of this world. But the considered normal is different from a high ranking soldier and a common worker. You can't expect a commoner to not be shocked if a high ranking general showed him a working prototype of a flying vehicle.

The considered normal for high ranking soldiers such as generals, colonel etc. are generally much higher because they have access to confidential information and the opposite goes for the commoners. He will use the family of tourist to get the accepted normal of the commoners.This way he can adjust his plan and he may just be able to reveal some of his troops. The only thing he knew about this world afterall is that they have mechs that is acts as a tank, passenger vehicle, etc.

The sliman didn't talked so the warriors restraining him punched him in order to force him to talk. In which after a couple of ounches he started to divulge the information needed by Alfonso.

............

After the hours of questioning Alfonso finally got the information he needed.The Psi-troopers arrived hours ago and were ready to erase all the memories about this event from the minds of the tourists.

After the last one finished speaking who was the beautiful girl earlier Alfonso motioned for the Psi-troopers to do their thing. The squad if Psi-troopers complied and easily mind controlled all the remaining tourist. They erased from their memories the incident that just happened and implanted them with false memories to make up for the missing piece on their memories.

The Psi-troopers saw that the whole tourist group is quite a rich family, having a businesses that provided them with enough income to be able to have a vacation on Sardinia. They then erased their memories about the dead fat woman and implanted false memories. Their memories now go like this:

The fat woman who was apparently their mom died in an accident years ago. Their vacation is to celebrate their deceased mom's birthday. And to ensure to tie the loose ends. They were convinced by a certain agent to migrate to the United Republic States of America. After their vacation they would sell all their businesses and buy a house on URSA to start a new life.

After completing their job the squad of Psi-troopers quietly left and the family of tourist went unconscious.Alfonso thanked them and ordered the Imperial warriors to bring them back to their vehicles and leave them be.

After everything is done Alfonso invited Natasha to return to back on their Soviet headquarters and spend the rest of the day there. In which Natasha accepted and they slowly made their way to the chinook on standby.

Once they exited the underground base it's already sunset, Alfonso dragged Natasha by her wrist to near the lake to watch the sunset.

"It's beautiful." whispered Natasha as she looked at the sunset on the horizon. Alfonso dragged her closer to him.Their height is roughly the same in 5'9.Natasha blushed due to Alfonso's action but she just let him continue.

"This world is truly beautiful, waiting for someone to completely realise its whole beauty." said Alfonso as he looked at the beautiful sunset.

"And you shall be the one to completely realise its beauty...." said Natasha before pausing and looking at Alfonso's handsome face.

"My Premiere"
