Hikaris POV

For the glory of Japan! Push them back! the ghost of a daimyo waved his ethereal katana in the air as he roared at his fellow phantoms to attack the Chinese soldiers. The ghostly army of samurai retainers, loyal to their lord even in death, complied readily and did their best to overrun the enemy. Material bullets passed through them, having no effect, but the laser fire was a different story. The energy weapons were super effective, mowing down the ghosts instantly. However, there were not enough soldiers with laser rifles to resist the huge swarm. Either way, their timely interference freed me up to resume my one on one grudge match with Mannequin.

The succubus was frantically trying to avoid me, but I was steadily cornering her. If she tried to fly away, I bombarded her with Dynamos magic projectiles. The undead prevented her from using the Chinese soldiers as meat shields, and she wasnt fast enough to put distance between us on foot. In other words, she was helpless as I continued to whittle away at her pseudo-immortality. Hey, stop, lets talk this through? Mannequin pleaded with me as I relentlessly lopped off limb after limb. Oh? Did you stop to talk things through last time? I replied right before viciously decapitating her for like the fourth time. My bloodlust was soaring, and I must admit I was rather enjoying my slow torment of Mannequin. Is this a side effect of my species change?

Alright! Listen up, were going to be going in hot! Be prepared to show the Chinese and these demons not to mess with the JSDF! My words were met with a roar of fighting spirit from my men. Sir, who are we supporting? The heli gunner asked as he pointed at the monitor. My response was to slap him upside the head. YOU IDIOT! OBVIOUSLY, WELL BE HELPING THE ELF AND FOX! WHAT KIND OF QUESTION WAS THAT!? ARE YOU EVEN JAPANESE!?!? I shouted as my inner otaku was let loose. Im not an elf otaku, but they are definitely in my top 3. Besides, reports indicate that the elf is on our side.

The rant I was about to go off on was interrupted as the giant dog was the first to notice us, and its left head decided to greet our arrival by breathing out fire. The pilot swerved to the right, barely avoiding death by fire. The damn dog wasnt giving up, continuing his excellent dragon imitation as he spewed fire with reckless abandon. Sir, were running out of space to dodge! The pilot yelled as we were about to be roasted. Damnit, are we going to die before we even do anything?

We were saved however, when a hole opened up in front of the helicopter, swallowing what would have been our fiery doom and redirecting it at the oni. Another hole appeared nearby, through which the dark elf girl jumped out from. She had a crossbow in her hand, which she was firing like a rifle. She fearlessly fell towards the dog, which reached out with all three of its heads in an attempt to devour her. At the last moment, she teleported through yet another portal to reappear elsewhere.

Chinese mechs spotted! The pilot yelled out to us as we headed to our designated landing zone. I looked out the window to see the 20-foot tall metal robotic suits stomping out the multitude of undead that were attacking them. Finally, something that we can fight. Get the can openers ready! I shouted, referring to the AMCP (anti-mechanized combat platform) missile launchers that we had packed before leaving the base. We rappelled from the helicopter, putting boots on the ground in the Tokyo at last.
