The Sack of Tokyo

The Barbarian's Cherry Blossom

Earth's Orbit, Gimaelic Fleet, Gewis' Flagship

More than a week has passed since King Gewis and his army left Auriga to go on a looting party. He assembled the nobles, soldiers and sailors that volunteered for this audacious feat. He is going to Sack Tokyo, Japan and run off with as much loot as he can carry while also getting Chieftain Lethuc and his men out of there safely.

Gewis began to count his men. He assembled 500000 men mostly volunteered Gimaelites who can afford to get there own weapons from the local blacksmiths and armoursmiths. About a fifth of his men were Broken Lords, mostly regular footsoldiers and several nobles that are sworn to follow there king. Three-fifths of his army composed of Humans, with a split percentage of Gimaelic Army, Citizens and Sebharii. The last fifths of his army composed of Craver warriors that by the very look of them means there hungry for battle.

Gewis then reviewed the scouting reports of Lethuc sent to him about Tokyo. A population of 13 million unarmed Earth Humans, about 100000 local soldiers garrisoning the city, an unknown but very promising number of loot to take home to Gimael or Present to their Emperor in Ghoghthal.

"This is gonna be fun! Like Headhunting!" Interrupted Gizzur 'The Bejewelled Headhunter'. The Infamous Noble Warrior and owner of the Jewelry Mine and Factory in Gimael. His Zealous and Flamboyant nature is only matched by his acts of sheer Madness, he would have a belt of the severed heads of his enemies wrapped neatly to it, he also drinks wine of the rest of those unfortunate enough to have there necks in the receiving end of his diamond encrusted axe. His armor is encrusted with Jewels and his the face part of his helmet is shaped like a skull which is carved out of diamonds (Gimaelic Diamonds are HUGE).

"So says the local psychopath! Gizzur! You came!" Says Gewis as he hugged his fellow noble.

"Sacking a large city filled with people that lack the strength to even bruise a Night Raider* and abundant treasure is to good of a chance to pass! Besides, I could use a few more heads to the collection!" Gizzur pridefully said while bearing a smile showing his jewel encrusted teeth braces.

"Yeah! Then we will be treated as heroes in Ghoghthal rather than pariah folks when we Triumph* during the Harvest games. Alright down to war businees, Lethuc's scouts report that the Humans are expecting an attack from the air so we'll have to fly low from our dropships and do a beach landing here in this island called Odaiba. After we secure Odaiba we will march through the 'Rainbow Bridge' and take out the Earthling air defenses. Once there down we can send in more of my men into the center of the city from the air and we can begin the fun part! Which of course is sacking, looting and stealing whatever we may please!" Gewis explains the plan as he gave a map of Tokyo city to Gizzur.

Earth, Tokyo, Japan, Inside a Bullet Train about a few kilometers from Tokyo.

Lethuc and his men were nervous, after highjacking a Bullet Train that was carrying refugees from Saitama and was heading to Tokyo. After a scuffle with some guards, pointing a sword at the train engineer, an unusually fast start and a few cases of throw ups from some trainsick soldiers, Lethuc is now primed and ready to lead a behind enemy lines attack on the Earthlings to destroy the anti-air defenses so the rest of Gewis' men can land.

As soon as Gewis land in Odaiba Island, he should be already taking down the 1st few AA defenses. He looks to his men, there are about 1000 men in the train with him.   His men with their shield necklaces in their necks which protects them from the Earthlings bullet weapons are now sharpening their swords, axes, spears, javelins and seaxes (long knives).

"Men! We got ourselves into what could be the greatest battle of our lives! Look at them! These Earthlings are cowering in their walls instead of fighting us in the field! But they hide with their gold, their food, their treasures and their women! When we get out of this train, 'bless' them with the kiss of your blades! So my fellow brothers! Enjoy yourselves!." Lethuc spoke to his soldiers with an eager feel in himself, eager for battle.........

The Bullet Train's Window scenery changed from forests and farmland to buildings with neon lights that werent lit yet since it was around 9am in the morning. The Sebharii's in the bullet train that they hijacked

Lethuc looked out in the window and also saw another train, a cargo train that they also hijacked and commandeered. Inside the carts is Lethuc's Calvary which he ordered to gallop around Tokyo to take out the AA so that Gewis full army can land safely. (Dust is used primarily for Military and Engineering uses in Gimael and calvary uses Dust to conjure 'horses' rather than actual animals so they dont have to worry of death by fallen steed) The train driver who 'cooperated' with them suddenly slowed down the locomotive and the train soon entered the tunnel which leads to Ueno Station, the northernmost train station that is directly in Tokyo......

Earthling's POV

"Half of the US 7th Fleet is now awaiting orders by Yokohama Harbor and the US Marine Corp has just met up with the rest of the JSDF." Says a JSDF Private

"Good, lets round up rest of the citizens and fortify the north." replied a JSDF Captain

"But does all of these barricades and the help from the Americans seem necessary? Intel says were dealing only 1000 E.T's."

"But these Aliens, and there kind of warfare is unlike anything we have seen before Private! You can hit them with everything from bullets to artillery yet they just keep on coming as if they cannot feel injury, pain, nor fear. You have seen what they did to those poor farmers in Saitama. They didnt even show remorse when they were butchering them infront of  LIVE TV! You just dont see that!"

"Ok, Oh! the Train carrying the last of the Refugees just arrived!" the Private said as he pointed at the double-decker Bullet Train with suspicously tinted windows.

"All right men! Lets get these civilians to the refugee camps at the doub..... GGGGUUUKK!!!!" the Capatain was suddenly stabbed from the back with a spear jabbing straight through him. The spear was then drew back and the body of the JSDF Captain was pushed aside revealing his killer to be a Sebharii barbarian that attacked the Saitama and razed it a week ago.

"TE HETA HADA WODAAANNNNNN!!!!!!! (Translates: Blood for the War God!!!!!!)" the Barbarian shouted, raising his arms in the air and shouting at the top of his lungs as an Entire swarm of battle-hungry barbarians rushed out of the Trains and began a melee with the JSDF soldiers.

 

---------------------------------------------------

Tokyo, Japan, Akihabara

Miyawaki Sakura was helping the Kenkyuusei distribute food and water to the refugees while also occasionally dancing to songs at the outside of the AKB48 Cafe and shop. Aki-P and Takamina both agreed that they need to do their part in giving hospitality to the refugees untill the space barbarians go away from their farms in Saitama. She was glad that her friends Paruru, Mayu and Nyan Nyan safely reunited with their families and the entire charity effort was running smoothly.

"Sakura-tan! Lets Cheer them up with a song?" says one of the waitresses of AKB48 Cafe

"Sure!" the Kagoshima born said. Sakura andsome of the younger members of AKB then went up to the make shift stage at the center of the square that is the entrance to the Akihabra Electric Town station.

"Konnichiwa! Anata mo, anata mo, minna no kokoro ni (Sakura Sake!) Kagoshima-ken shusshin, Miyawaki Sakura juurokusai desu." Sakura says her signature catchphrase. After her fellow Idol sisters also say their catchphrases, they began to sing songs to the refugees much to their delight.

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Off the coast of Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan

Gewis was confident, he and a group of his dropships are now approaching Odaiba Island to surprise the Earthlings. Seeing land the Gimaelics quickly landed on the beaches and disembarked their dropships. Gewis and his friend Gizzur both got down from the ship they were in with their personal Gedrihts following them.

Gewis saw the Earthlings who were going about there daily business but they were soon shocked to see that the Alien invaders have landed at the otherside of Tokyo instead of North.

"By Wodan! This enemy looks good enough to eat!" Gizzur said

"Gentleman...... LETS KILL SOME HUMANS!" Gewis shouted raising his sword in the air and ran towards the Earthlings.

The Gimaelics smashed their way through Odaiba, looting, sacking and razing anything in their path. They had a headstart from the Earthlings since the nearest Earth soldiers were still in Yokouska Harbor. The US 7th Fleet and their Marines were still getting their equipment, vehicles out from their ships. They quickly intercepted the Gimaelics on the Mainland side of the Rainbow Bridge that connects Tokyo to Odaiba.

When Gewis saw the soldiers pointing their guns at them. He was struck dumb. Why arent these Earthlings fighting them in melee? "Cowards!" He thought.

He then raised his voice and charged headfirst to the Humans. Only to have him take a full barrage and emptied clips of the bullets and explosives of the humans. A dense smoke formed on where the US soldiers shot the Gimaelics. Then out of the smoke, Gewis walked out, seemingly unharmed from the massive barrage of lead.

"IHR SEID VERFLUCHTE HUNDE!!!!!!!!!!" He shouted at the top of his voice as the Gimealics who are also unharmed by the guns since they wore a protective necklace that barriers them from small projectiles charged in a now berserked like trance.

While Gewis and Gizzur were fighting the JSDF American Allies. Lethuc's calvary after what could be described as a TV cartoon chase around a city, succesfully destroyed the AA defenses around Tokyo.

The Riders signalled the rest of the Gimaelic fleet that it is now safe to go to Tokyo directly.

Hordes of Barbarians landed in Shibuya, Asakusa, Ginza, Harajuku and Akihabara and began to loot the city off of its treasures, population and food.

Gewis and Gizzur made their way to Akihabara since the Raiders were already crowding the other districts. When they arrived they saw Gimaelics smashing the windows of UFO crane games in order to get the contents of it machine, people being dragged out of maid cafes viking style, smashing more windows that contain loot, stealing food and just out right barbarism (I will let your imagination flow with this)

Inside the AKB48 Cafe

Akihabara was burning. A great horde of demons has descended upon the world to punish sinners or so says Takamina. After the chaos was unleashed a few minutes ago, it felt like the begginning of "Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai" all over again since it began where a normal entertainment show was taking place. Then a fan took a javelin to the face. More people took Javelin to the face. Then angry barbarians started smashing everyone in their path. Sakura, Paruru, Paruru's brother, and Takamina hid in the Manager's Office. They could hear screaming, glass breaking and fire crackling from the sound outside.

The 3 AKB48 Members were now for the first time since Riichan and Annin nearly got shanked by a crazy man, 'Scared'. Then the front door's entrance bell was sounded. Sakura prayed that the people at a door were the JSDF or the US army or some chivalrous fans hoping to rescue their idols from the barbarians. But that hope was crushed when one of the men who owned the footsteps they heard spoke in an alien accent.

 

"Gewis! This place doesnt look looted. Lets grab anything we got here and continue on. I heard there's loot just asking to get taken inside glass boxes. GLASS boxes! These Earthlings are rich!" says one barbarian.

"Alright! You and your men check the back, me and mine will loot around here." Says the man that is possibly Gewis

More footsteps and stuff rustling was heard.

"Hey Gizzur! Look what I found in one of those cold boxes here! Its round with a stout in the bottom with dark dimples covering it. Its delicious! Try some!" said another voice.

Gizzur grabbed one of the fruits and took a bite out of it. He expressed a smile of pleasure to his henchman and hand gestured him to put it in to the loot bag.

Meanwhile in Gewis  side of the AKB48 cafe....

"Is this some sort of Tavern with its own group of bards that are all female? Hey that girl looks pretty." says another barbarian

"Mmmmmm..... She will make fine thrall for my son Rainoric." says Gewis as he scoured the rummages of the the store.

"I'll see if there's anything like jewels in here........ OOOOHHHHFFFFF!!!!!!" another barbarian said while opening the door to the managers office only to get whacked in the head by Paruru.

"Fighter!" said another barbarian

Gewis went to his comrades aid and insticntively knocked unconcious Paruru on the floor.

"Ane!" said Hayato, Paruru's little brother

Gewis then grabbed one of the girls inside the room and looked her in the eyes. She had short hair, a still transistioning face of a teenager and about 5 feet tall compared to his 6'3 height she was also dressed in a pink checkered teenagers blouse.

"Well lookie here! 3 lasses and a little tyke in one room. Must be a steal! How much of less do I pay? Oh wait I forgot. Im a Gimaelic Warrior! I just take it!" Gewis says grabbing Sakura  and carrying her over by his shoulder.

"Sakura-tan!" Takamina shouted as she was dragged away too by another of Gewis' soldiers.

"These girls plus that one boy will make fine servants back at the castle my lord." a soldier said.

"Yeah! Rainoric is going to love having these ladies around especially when I step down." Gewis replied

"Step down? You mean he's ready sir for the Trials that are ahead of him?"

"Yes. He is now representing Gimael in the Harvest Games back in Ghoghthal right now. If we hurry we can catch him beating up some humans or fighting some monstrous beast when we Triumph into the city."

Gewis carried off  Takamina, Sakura, Paruru and Hayato to their space ship that will take these 4 Earthlings to another world. The land  where monsters roam free, a land of constant warfare and political and religous and social upheavals.

Will Sakura change Auriga for the better when Rainoric rises to the throne of Gimael. Or will she watch her world and his world burn?

Chapter 6: Hmm. So things are certainly unfolding at a quick pace here. It's a little bit tricky keeping track of things because the forces were jumping around on Earth, showing up in one place when they were apparently expected in another, and the defenses against the intruders seem pretty ineffective. I know they're space faring warriors but couldn't we get a little more detail beyond 'necklaces' that protect them. How exactly do these things protect them?

I do like how you've been explaining more and giving more detail as the story progresses, so that's definitely something, but I have noticed a relative habit of how your voice suddenly jumps in to mention how this will be important later or explains something in the now and it's jarring. You could have one of the characters explain things mid-story, or even use the non-dialogue space to add world details that wouldn't pull the reader out of the moment when they're reading.

I was also a little confused by Rainoric's reaction to Sakura because he, and his people/friends, seem to be treating slaves with remarkable manners. But who knows. Maybe that's just the way they treat beings so far below them. *shrug* I also would prefer if you actually did more showing instead of telling with your battle scenes as opposed to saying "I'll let you use your imagination here." It comes off as lazy writing. I can imagine plenty, but I still want guidelines when you're showing me your world and what's happening in it. Do you know what I mean?

In this chapter, I was also curious when Sakura hit her head? I didn't catch that so I was surprised when she was suddenly waking up from a week long coma. :S But things are slowly starting to come together and while I'm not sure what the larger, central conflict of the world is going to be just yet, you seem to have tension aplenty between the people as a warrior race, if nothing else.

Chapter 3: Okay. So I'm just starting to read this and while I probably won't comment on every chapter, I do intend to pause every so often. I think the image in the character bio page is broken since I can't see the picture at all. I'm personally not a huge fan of character bios in the beginning of the story myself but in this case, I do think it's helpful information since most of the characters are almost completely new (goodness knows I've never heard of most of them haha).

For this chapter, I have at least begun to get an idea of what's going on in the story, though I find myself wishing for more description. What do these people look like? What sorts of mannerisms do they have, other than surprising knockouts when someone is apparently talking too long? Are they all humanoid? Do any of them talk with accents? These kinds of things. I did appreciate the explanations at the bottom of the chapter, though I also think you might have been able to work them into the story. While I also appreciate you have linked the information available for us to read up on the Endless game series, it's also something I tend to think you may want to work on incorporating more yourself. Then again, I don't know if you were expecting people to be familiar with the Endless game series if they found your story, so that could just be me at the moment.

I would say be careful with some of your spellings since I noticed a few mistakes here and there, but overall, things are easy enough to understand. I'm curious to see how the rest of the world/story unfolds with that tag you've added at the end of this update in regards to world changing consequences. heh We shall see.
