Marshall's Predicament

Time: 28th of April

Location: Delémont

POV: Rudolf's

''I am not even surprised this would happen...'' I shook my head as I looked at Kyle surrounded by bomb specialists.

An engineer handed me the analysis of the Mine, 'Spring release structure, large blast radius, anti-Infantry. Why Kyle, why you have to increase my workload...' I sighed deeply before walking towards the Marshall, ''Sir, it will take approximately 1 hour to 2 hours to disarm the mine, please inform the Marshall that he must endure until that time.'' The Chief engineer quickly asked me.

I walked up to Kyle with a frown, ''Marshall, It will take approximately 1 hour to 2 hours to disarm the mine, besides that, I have heard you have taken in a Civilian under special protection, do you want me to transfer him to mother base?'' I Checked the clipboard with the report of the Battle of Delémont,

''And I forgot to mention that operation fury has been given the go-ahead by the general staff to cripple Union production capacity,'' I said casually,

''Rudolf, don't forget to have the HMS Dreadnought go with the mission, it is of utmost importance that they get full support, this mission has more meaning to it than at first glance...'' Kyle replied seriously,

'Why mobilise our strategic assets so early? I will re-evaluate it before deciding, mobilising the HMS Dreadnought will make us take a huge hit at finances.' I didn't take the Marshall's words to heart.

If Kyle could hear Rudolf complain about money he would surely choke him, they have almost infinite amounts of it, and only to not have hyper-inflation he keeps it stashed away.

2 hours pass by quickly and the mine was disarmed, ''Marshall 2 transport planes are currently parked at the makeshift airfield, please follow me, we have urgent issues at Motherbase!'' I gave Kyle the report clip I have analysed beforehand to him.

He gave it a quick before handing it back to me, ''Rudolf, I trust you know how to deal with this.'' Kyle hat a cold glint in his eyes when he said it, causing me to shiver slightly.

POV: 3rd Imperial Senator

''SHUT DOWN THE BUILDING, ALL PERSONNEL EVACUATE THE IMPERIAL LIBRARY!'' 20 Generals shouted as they started to run up the stairs, ''ETA 5 MINUTES SIR!'' One of the younger generals reported to the oldest one taking the lead. We all have a pistol in hand, although most generals prefer close combat and thick armour. Now is sadly not the time for that due to time constraints

20 men donned in beautiful old military uniforms barged into my office, a man of seemingly high status, ''WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!'' I shouted towards the men, ''Under the 3rd act of the 5th Constitution, you have broken moral law by sending a native back in time! The very 1st moral law: Thou shall not send those with knowledge into their past like one would not send an anti-matter bomb ready to detonate into the past. For one who knows the future is invincible. As History has told us, those that have the knowledge shall use it without bounds. Your very act HAS ENDANGERED OUR NATION!'' The oldest general shouted at the man.

I stood up seemingly knowing this would happen, '' HOW DARE YOU ALL SAY THIS! The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home! YET. we, we have failed, riots, unrest, famine, OUR NATION IS CORRUPTED TO THE BONE! YET. yet no one dares to take action because of you all... swearing to protect this nation from threats both WITHIN AND WITHOUT! YET. you have done nothing, my hard work slips through my fingers like sand and dust, my efforts to heal this nation just vanishes into thin air. I can't stand it, I can't let these old giants, ruled by autocracy and fear continue to exist. Thus I have chosen a successor, he will be the one worthy to challenge the might of the old 3 empires, or if you are really knowledgeable: The Great 5...''

''YOU! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!'' The older general demanded, ''You can't do anything anyways, I have sent a native from the old empire back in time...'' I said smiling lightly. The faces of all the generals all turn ghastly white, ''...The old empire, please tell me it is not the empire of humanity?'' a general muttered, ''SHUT IT! HE IS LYING! After the utter collapse of the Old empire due to the Coalition, they... they died!'' The old general said anxiously, I smiled lightly, ''An empire based on their words: 'Democracy through force.' Where they believe that democracy must be adopted by every Nation in existence, the old Empire...'' I sighed as I put my pistol against my head, ''FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE PEOPLE THE OLD EMPIRE SHALL BE REVIVED!'' I pulled the trigger causing instant death, my last thought was what the world would look like when the old empire would rise again in its glory.

''QUICKLY GET HIM TO THE REVIVAL CENTRE!'' The old general shouted as he pointed at me, after which he quickly went to a private room, ''Emperor!'' The General saluted to the hologram, ''And?'' The emperor asked casually, ''Emperor, I can only say these words; 'Emperor Invicticus''' After which the general quickly ended the transmission afraid of it being intercepted.
