Strike Witches: Black Masks

Chapter 2: The New World

Location: Unknown

Black and purple. That's all that's surrounding him. His body is going in one direction. He is still entranced.

Wolf snaps back to reality and looks around. "What is going on? Where am I?"

He sees a small bright light.

"Am I dead? … I  kinda doubt it."

He looks down at himself and sees his journal still in his hand.

"Wait a minute… I didn't die…"

Realization hits him.

"An earthquake happened. After that, I checked on my neighbors and this thing… this portal appeared in front of my home. I guess it somehow hypnotized me and made me walk into it."

He looks at the light that is now getting bigger.

"Just what is on the other side? I guess those missing people that were on the news are there."

Wolf covers his eyes.

"Guess I'm about to find out."

He goes through the light.

Date: September 1st, 1939
Location: Airspace above the Black Sea, between Europe and Asia.

A dark cloud appears and starts swirling until it becomes larger.

People in the countries surrounding the Black Sea watch the dark cloud grow.

Something came out of the cloud. It was black with blue hexagonal lines. There were red spots on the underside of its "wings"and its main body, which is two torpedo-shaped objects of different lengths attached together. It has a few spikes around its body: three on the longer body and one on the short body. On one side of the long body is what looks like a propeller of a plane that has spikes instead of blades.

Another one like it came out of the large dark cloud, then another, and another.

20 of them started flying west of the Black Sea…

Location: Near the eastern border of Karlsland and Ostmark,Europe

A violet portal appeared above a city and the inhabitants noticed it.

Something falls out of it and is heading towards the city.

The object crashes near a two-story house. A kid, along with another kid and two adults, rush out of the house to check what happened. They see a small crater with the object, identified as a person, in the center.

The four see that the person is wearing a gas mask with the filter being where the mouth is at, a helmet, a long trench coat, a necklace that has a plane hanging from it, gloves, and boots. The thing they also notice about this  person's outfit is that everything is black except for the necklace which is gold. On the helmet they see the number 46 on the middle front. The person is holding a book in their right hand.

One of the kids, a blonde boy, speaks. "Mom, that person looks like-" "I know, Kurt. Let's bring him back to the house to treat his wounds."

Kurt now and he and the other adult walk to the person. They bring the person up and carry them to the house.

Location: Dacia, Europe

The 20 black plane-like objects start during what looks like red energy beams at the buildings in front of it. Explosions occur where the beams hit. The people scream and scatter. The objects fly over while still firing.

Sirens are heard. Planes and what seems to be young girls wearing military uniforms and things that look like planes and holding large guns fly towards the black objects.
