Terra Invicta: Echoes of Defiance. [Remarshaled Version]

Chapter 2: A Faint Light of Hope.

Demi yawned as she walked into the Meeting room along with General Derrick.

"Are you that lax, Demi? First, you went to the Commander with just your bikinis, and now you only covered your top part, and not your lower parts?" Derrick on her lazy-as-hell, attire.

"What? I'm a night owl, not an early bird like you guys or the Commander." Demi as she yawned again, still sleepy.

Derrick just rolled his eyes, as he continued with her. He knows that South Korean Cambion is asking for trouble and is quite lazy at day time, but he can't do a damn, since she also has some of her Demon Abilities to make any perverts trying to have their way with her, will regret ever being born.

They both arrived at the Meeting Room, and they were a second late as Alexis came with his cup of tea. Alexandria with Asra and Jeanette as their administrators & Secretaries of the Commander. The Military Officers at Kevin's right.

"Zo... Ve are here for some meeting? But of what?" Reinhardt asked.

Then the intercoms opened with the Steel Legions' and Crimson Rose's Top Brasses, and Faction Leaders on the link.

"I'd be asking the same question too, Admiral Reinhardt. We all wanna know who are those unknown contacts." Rear Admiral Asher responded.

"Agreed. It's not the first time we've had to deal with the Indavers' demands for surrender, but now. This is a first." Amel with an interested tone.

"They better not be those Invaders. Those cabrones (fuckers) have been a pain in our asses." Domingo with an annoyed tone.

"At least my entire Air Force is somewhat intact..." Montenegro Perez added.

"Always unaccepting of Major Failures, I see..." Alexis remarked.

"Do not be concerned, I've confirmed that it's not from the Invaders." Spymaster Erika confirmed it.

"Well. If both Asra and Erika confirmed they were real-" Before Jeanette finished...

"I'm certain that your concerns would be Manageable."

All of the Officers and Faction Leaser of the Echoes of Defiance started to look around in panic... Except for Erika, Ayoaude, and Asra.

"Reveal yourselves! Or our Hackers will be doing it for you!" Karim yelled.

"Face us you coward!!!" Malka added.

"Malka, calm yourself!" Ezra reprimands her.

"So. Care to reveal us, who are you all?" Ayoaude with the same expressionless face.

The display now presented five individuals from an unspecified location. Steel Legion's Hackers are currently working to determine their exact whereabouts. Among them is a woman in her late 30s dressed formally. Additionally, a man in his 50s was spotted wearing a red trench coat layered over an officer uniform. An Admiral in an all-black Naval Officer Uniform was also observed. Furthermore, a Hooded Figure in black and blue stripes with a concealed identity was present, along with a red-haired individual clad similarly to the Admiral, but with distinctive yellow shoulder decorations, insignia, & full white uniform.

"Greetings, everyone. I suppose it's not what you guys expected, correct?" The Woman asked.

"Yeah. And it's the first time we've met people, who's not the Invaders." Kevin responded.

"Perhaps we can enlighten you all?" The Admiral asked...

They all went quiet. As Kevin and his Officers ponder the possibility of their help and advice from them... Ezra and his Steel Legion are more concerned about the potential Outcomes, including betrayal... Amel and her Crimson Rose are already thinking of their potential Guerilla Warfare against them and the Invaders...
