"Rommel?! Can you hear me? Please don't die!" Erwin was crying uncontrollably as she held Rommel's burnt hand. He was burnt badly, with some parts of his body being charred black. A few meters away, a distorted velociraptor corpse with its chest blown open was on the floor. Erwin didn't know what to do. Rommel was dead. As she continued sobbing, the German general's hand twitched. 

"E-Erwin? Is t-that you?" Rommel opens his eyes and tries reaching for Erwin, but he was too weak and fell back, coughing out blood mixed with burnt pieces of his lungs. Erwin screams his name and hugs Rommel tightly, not wanting to let him go. The door opens, and she sees Megumi with three university soldiers. 

"P-please save Rommel! You can do whatever you want to me, just save Rommel! I don't want him to die!" 

"You two, get a stretcher and bring him to our medical department. You, get her." Megumi commands to the soldiers behind her. Two of them took out a portable stretcher and placed Rommel onto it, then carried him away to the medical department in the facility. The other soldier takes out a cloth and shoves it into Erwin's mouth, then ties up her hands and covered her eyes with a blindfold. "Erwin, we'll be dealing with you later. Bring her to the torture chamber."

How the f on earth do they have a torture chamber and what is it for! Erwin sure didn't want to find out, but she had to save Rommel, so she obediently followed the soldier to a room. She was shoved in, and the door locked behind her.

"A recent series of earthquakes in England has caused the sea level to rise at an alarming rate. Strangely, only England is affected, and none of the European countries near the sea had reported strange phenomenons happening. Scientists are still investigating this strange event, but professors claim it is the result of movement in the seabed. We will get back to this issue later. Now, a man was caught yesterday for drink-driving..." Yukari switches off the TV and turns to her teammates from Anglerfish team. 

"There's nothing important happening these days, but Miho, you haven't been able to contact your sister in Germany, right? I suspect this has something to do with the earthquakes."

"No, Yukari! My sister can't cause and she definitely will not do this kind of thing! Perhaps we should contact Darjeeling, she has a cousin that lives in London. That will clear your theories, because I won't let anyone say such things about my sister!" Miho retorted, but in reality she was also feeling sus. She hasn't been able to contact Maho, and Erika didn't respond to her text messages. In fact, Kuromorimine Girls Academy has been very silent recently, with no news or events happening there. In addition, Riko "Erwin" Matsumoto and Erwin Rommel had disappeared two days ago. The Sensha-do federation had also postponed the Winter Continuous Track Cup until they had further information, due to the earthquakes in England which might affect Japan. Miho decides to call Darjeeling, who picked up the phone a few moments later.

"Hello, this is Darjeeling from St.Gloriana, can I ask who am I speaking to?"

"Hey Darjeeling, it's me, Miho. From Oarai. Have you seen the news? Are you able to contact your  cousin? I wasn't able to contact my sister who is now studying in Germany."

"Ah, Miho. I am sorry to inform you that I also cannot contact my cousin. In fact, it seems like that phone calls from many parts of Europe have been interrupted by something. Most calls cannot get through, and the few calls which miraculously managed to get through are filled with static and nothing can be heard. They say it's the earthquakes, but I don't think so."

"Ah, thank you." Miho hangs up the phone and turns to her friends. She was worried for her sister now.

(Next part is extremely twisted)

"Guten Tag, Frau Nishizumi. The connection is getting stronger and we will be able to establish a secure and stable connection to you within a few minutes. Everything is ready now."

"This is great news, Reichsführer Himmler. Heil for the führer!" Maho closes her phone. It was time. A few minutes later, what she had worked for all her life would happen. 

"England is suffering from severe earthquakes, and countries all over the world are helping with the evacuation of British citizens. European cities have received a large number of British refugees, and important figures of the British government have been escorted to USA safely." Seems like they're running away, how cowardly. The British navy had been the same, so scared to fight the Kriegsmarine and only staying at their tiny island while the Reich took over many countries in Europe. Maho Nishizumi didn't care for the lives that would be lost. 

The streets of the British cities cracked apart, as buildings tumbled down, covering the ground with debris. The people waiting for evacuation all screamed in fear as they ran to open spaces, trying to escape the disaster. However, they only lived for one or two minutes longer, as gigantic cracks in the ground caused many people to fall through, while falling buildings killed many others. Then it came. A giant Nazi symbol carved into a metal structure. It rose out of the ground, pushing through the roads and buildings like they were nothing. This metal cylinder's diameter was more than three miles, and as it stopped moving, it was more than 10 kilometers into the sky, reaching to the bottom of the atmosphere. After it had stopped, the structure split into two halves, the top part rising to reveal a light in every single color imaginable, as well as many more colors not seen by mankind before. The light forms a giant portal, colors swirling within it. A dome of light soon covered the entire England. As it faded away, a new island was there. It was covered in buildings and factories, with Nazi flags hanging from their windows and doors. Around it, a tall wall surrounded the island, with advanced weapons that were entirely new to humanity. The water around was frozen, and gates on the wall began to open. Massive armies began to come out. There were tanks, trucks and infantry, but also new vehicles. There were missile launchers, laser guns on tracks, and even what appeared to be a fortress on wheels. Nazi soldiers marched out of the gates, and while most were armed with guns, those were all machine guns, and others held various weapons made with advanced technology. A giant hologram appeared on top of the island, and a face appeared. It was no other than the face of Adolf Hitler, Führer of Nazi Germany. He was back.

"I see that this world has not improved much. None of your weapons are a match for our supreme technology! The Third Reich is gone, what replaced it is the New Reich! All fellow members of the New Reich, may I welcome you to join our forces! I would also like to thank someone's help, a person who had assisted me and allowed our New Reich to enter this world!"

Every student in all of Japan's sensha-do schools gasped when the saw the person beside Hitler, as it was being broadcasted onto every tv channel. It was no other than...

Maho Nishizumi. The heir to the Nishizumi family and the ex-commander of Kuromorimine's sensha-do team. But there she was, standing beside Adolf Hitler and wearing the Schutzstaffel uniform. She was the one who helped Hitler come into this world.
