The next morning, we see the two thousand recruits in Cotton Hill District.

As Henry and Teetsi walked around, they see the Como Army Out-Worlder Corps passing through.

Henry: Damn. I heard of those guys.

Teetsi: Yeah, me too. They're are all experienced in traveling and fighting in other planets.

Henry: Yeah. Second to the Como Army Rangers.

Sienna: And the ones who replace the Como Marine Corps.

The two turn around to see Pu, Toga and Sienna walking to them.

Henry and Teetsi greet Pu, Toga, and Sienna as they approach.

Henry: Hey, good morning, guys! Talking about the Out-Worlder Corps, huh?

Toga: Yep, seems like they've got quite the reputation. Experienced warriors who have seen action on different planets.

Sienna: It's impressive how adaptable they are to various environments and combat scenarios. They bring a unique set of skills and perspectives to the table.

Pu: Definitely. They're known for their expertise in interplanetary missions and their ability to handle different alien species and technologies.

Teetsi: I've heard they undergo rigorous training to prepare for the challenges they might encounter out there. It must be exciting and daunting at the same time.

Henry: Absolutely. It's a whole new level of adventure and danger. But hey, who knows? Maybe one day we'll have the opportunity to join their ranks.

The group nods in agreement, contemplating the possibilities that lie ahead in their military careers. The presence of the Out-Worlder Corps serves as a reminder of the vast universe awaiting them and the potential for extraordinary experiences beyond their home planet.

As they continue their walk, the recruits feel a mix of anticipation and determination, ready to face whatever challenges come their way. The sight of the Out-Worlder Corps serves as inspiration, fueling their aspirations to excel in their chosen paths within the Como military.

Henry: By the way. Toga, you still planning on joining the Military Police?

As Henry stated, the Como Military Police is one of the top and most prestigious branch in the Como Military. They also serve and protect the Como royal family.

However, the Military Police only takes top 10 recruits from each branch of the Como Military. Which is, the Army, Air Force, Navy and Space Force. The Marine Corps used to be the branch that protected the royal family, but due to them being disbanded it changed to the Military Police.

Toga nods, a determined look on her face.

Toga: Yes, Henry, I'm still aiming for the Military Police. It's been my goal ever since I joined the army. Protecting the royal family and serving in such an elite unit is an honor I aspire to achieve.

Pu: I have no doubt you'll make it, Toga. Your dedication and attention to detail are impressive. Plus, your combat skills are unmatched.

Sienna: Agreed. Toga, you've shown exceptional leadership and discipline throughout our training. If anyone deserves a spot in the Military Police, it's definitely you.

Toga smiles appreciatively at their words.

Toga: Thank you, guys. Your support means a lot to me. I've been working hard to excel in all aspects of our training, not just combat skills. I know the competition will be fierce, but I'm ready to give it my all.

Henry: We believe in you, Toga. And remember, even if it doesn't work out this time, there are always other opportunities down the line. Keep pushing forward and never lose sight of your goals.

Teetsi: That's right. Don't be discouraged if things don't go as planned. We'll always have each other's backs, no matter where our paths lead us.

The group shares a moment of camaraderie and support, reinforcing their commitment to each other and their individual aspirations. As they continue their journey, they carry with them the determination to excel in their chosen paths, including Toga's pursuit of joining the esteemed Como Military Police.

Later, we see Henry, Carl, Hachie, Alexander, Evelyn, Arachnia, Joshua and Gerald.

Gerald is now thin and slightly muscular now due to the training.

The eight were cleaning and maintaining transport vehicles.

Joshua: Oh fuckin' come on!!

Gerald: What?

Joshua: Some dickhead left dry puke back here! That's 'what'!

It is noted that Joshua Summers swears a lot.

Joshua: Now we got to clean this shit up.

Evelyn: I'll help you, Summers.

Joshua: Thanks. And bring some gloves and a scraper.

Evelyn nods and quickly retrieves the necessary cleaning supplies. She returns with gloves and a scraper, ready to assist Joshua in cleaning up the mess.

Evelyn: Alright, let's get this cleaned up. It's disgusting.

Joshua: No kidding. I can't believe someone would just leave puke like this. We have standards, dammit.

Gerald: Well, it looks like we're going to need some elbow grease for this one.

Hachie: I can't believe I signed up for this. Cleaning puke was not in my expectations.

Henry: It's all part of the job, Hachie. We have to maintain and take care of the equipment we're entrusted with.

Carl: Yeah, better get used to it. Cleaning and maintenance are essential for keeping our vehicles in top shape.

Arachnia: I'll help out too. No point in just standing around.

Alexander: That's the spirit, Arachnia. Teamwork makes the job go faster.

The group begins working together, scrubbing and scraping away the dried puke, ensuring that the vehicles are clean and ready for use. Despite the unpleasant task, they maintain a sense of camaraderie and dedication to their responsibilities.

Alexander: Now that I think about it. Where's Potato Girl?

Henry: You mean Serena? She went to the bathroom.

Just then Serena came with a blush on her face.

Henry: Here she is.

Joshua: What's with the blushing? You made out with a giant potato?

Some of the group chuckles.

Serena: Better than that. I snagged this from the officers quarters.

Serena showed the eight a premium piece of meat.

Henry, Carl, Hachie, Alexander, Evelyn, Arachnia, Joshua and Gerald:*in pure shock* WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?

Evelyn rushed over and lifts up Serena with one hand shaking her.

Evelyn: Are you crazy woman!?

Evelyn's strong reaction startles Serena, who quickly tries to explain herself.

Serena: No, no, hear me out! It was just sitting there, unattended, and I thought it would be a waste to let it go to waste! Besides, we've been eating the same rations for weeks, and I wanted to treat us to something better.

Evelyn sets Serena down but maintains a stern expression.

Evelyn: I understand your intentions, Serena, but stealing from officers' quarters is a serious offense. We have to abide by the rules and maintain integrity, even if the circumstances are tough. We can't compromise our principles.

Henry: Evelyn's right, Serena. We're a team, and we have to stick together and follow the rules. Taking matters into our own hands like this can get us into serious trouble.

Serena looks down, realizing her mistake.

Serena: I'm sorry, guys. I just wanted to do something nice for all of us. I didn't think about the consequences.

Hachie: It's okay, Serena. We appreciate your thoughtfulness, but we have to find other ways to make things better for ourselves within the boundaries of the rules.

Joshua: Yeah, no stealing prime meat, but I appreciate the sentiment.

Gerald: Let's just be careful from now on and remember to follow the proper channels for improving our situation.

Serena nods, understanding the gravity of her actions.

Serena: You're right, everyone. I apologize for my lapse in judgment. I'll make sure to think more carefully in the future.

The group reassures Serena that they understand and appreciate her intentions, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and integrity in their training and future endeavors.

Evelyn: However........I would like a slice.

This surprises the others hearing Evelyn's response to have a slice of the premium meat.

But slowly, but surely.

Henry: I. I would like a slice too.

Alexander: Same here. I would like a slice as well.

Joshua: Oh I would like a slice!

Hachie: I too would like a slice.

Gerald: I would love a slice!

Arachnia: I can't believe you guys............I think I should get a slice too.

Carl: I'm good.

Serena: What, why?

Carl: Because I'm a vegetarian. Though I do eat seafood. Not meat or chicken products.

The group looks at Carl in surprise, not expecting his dietary preferences.

Serena: Oh, I didn't know that, Carl. I'm sorry for assuming.

Carl: No worries, Serena. It's not something I usually bring up. But I appreciate your consideration.

Evelyn: Well, in that case, I guess we'll divide the meat among those who want it. We'll save a slice for you, Carl, just in case you change your mind.

Carl nods appreciatively, and the group begins to divide the premium meat, making sure everyone gets a fair share.

Henry: We should still be cautious about this, though. Let's enjoy this special treat within the confines of our group and avoid any further trouble.

The others agree, understanding the need for discretion and not drawing attention to their unauthorized acquisition. They enjoy their portions of the premium meat, savoring the rare indulgence amidst their challenging training.

Meanwhile in one of the VTOL aircrafts we see another one of the two thousand recruits. A dark skin, short dreads, tall, pale white eyes and tribal tattoos all over his body. His name is Anthony Towson.

He is maintaining one of the rotors on the aircraft.

Anthony: Alright, now let's check the cockpit.

He jumps down off the aircraft and walks towards the open ramp of the aircraft.

As he got in, he spots his battlebuddy David Fernandes making out with Sienna Tonnes.

Anthony: You two better not fuck in here.

He jokingly said shocking and surprising the two.

David and Sienna quickly separate, their faces turning red with embarrassment.

David: Uh, sorry, man. We didn't mean to...

Sienna: Yeah, it was just a momentary lapse in judgment.

Anthony smirks, shaking his head.

Anthony: No worries, you two. Just remember, this is a military aircraft, not a love nest.

David: Point taken, Tony. We'll be more mindful.

Sienna: Definitely. Thanks for the reminder.

Anthony pats David on the back before moving further into the aircraft.

Anthony: Just make sure to keep the PDA to a minimum. We've got a job to do, and we need to stay focused.

David and Sienna nod, realizing the importance of maintaining professionalism during their service.

As Anthony continues his maintenance checks, the three recruits share a chuckle and a renewed sense of determination to excel in their roles within the Como Army. They understand that discipline, teamwork, and commitment are essential for their success and the success of their unit.

In the skies above, we see a few of the recruits who have wings like dragon wings, bat wings or bird wings doing sky patrols.

As the recruits with wings soar through the sky, their wings spread wide, catching the wind and propelling them forward. They maintain a vigilant watch over the surrounding area, scanning for any signs of potential threats or anomalies.

The recruits with dragon wings exhibit a powerful and majestic presence as they glide through the air, their scales glistening in the sunlight. With their heightened senses, they are capable of detecting even the faintest disturbances below.

Those with bat wings navigate the skies with grace and agility, their radar-like hearing allowing them to pick up on distant sounds and movements. They effortlessly maneuver through the air, their keen eyesight helping them spot any unusual activities or potential dangers.

The recruits with bird wings showcase impressive speed and precision as they dart through the clouds. Their aerial maneuvers are a testament to their agility and adaptability, enabling them to cover vast distances in a short amount of time.

Together, these recruits form a formidable aerial reconnaissance team, utilizing their unique winged abilities to provide valuable information and ensure the safety and security of the surrounding areas. As they patrol the skies, they remain vigilant and ready to respond to any situation that may arise, embodying the spirit of the Como Army and its commitment to protect and serve.

The Como Army uniforms, reminiscent of the US uniforms during the Vietnam War, exude a distinct and recognizable style. The uniforms are designed to provide functionality, durability, and a sense of unity among the troops. They feature certain key elements that are reminiscent of the era, while incorporating modern advancements in materials and design.

The standard Como Army uniform consists of a camouflage pattern, with variations depending on the environment and mission requirements. The uniforms are typically made of lightweight and breathable fabric, ensuring comfort and ease of movement for the soldiers.

The rank insignias on the Como Army uniforms are also reminiscent of the Vietnam War era. They are displayed on the collar or shoulder epaulets, indicating the rank and position of the soldier. These insignias vary from chevrons for enlisted personnel to bars, stars, and other symbols denoting officer ranks.

Additionally, the uniforms may include various patches and badges to indicate specific achievements, qualifications, or unit affiliations. These patches serve as visual representations of the soldier's experience, expertise, and dedication to the Como Army.

The Como Military Police uniforms draw inspiration from the uniforms worn by the United States military during World War I. These uniforms evoke a sense of tradition, discipline, and professionalism, while incorporating the necessary features for modern law enforcement and security operations.

The Como Military Police uniform typically consists of a distinctive color and design, specific to the military police branch. The uniforms are designed to be functional, comfortable, and easily recognizable. They may include features such as a peaked cap, a service coat, and trousers or skirts, depending on the gender of the wearer.

Enlisted personnel in the Como Military Police often wear rank insignias in the form of stars. The number of stars indicates the rank and seniority of the individual, with higher-ranking personnel having more stars. This system allows for clear identification of rank and authority within the Military Police.

For officers in the Como Military Police, the rank insignias typically take the form of chevrons. The number and arrangement of chevrons on the uniform indicate the officer's rank, with higher-ranking officers having more chevrons or additional symbols denoting their specific rank.

These uniform designs and rank insignias are intended to uphold the tradition, hierarchy, and professionalism within the Como Military Police. They not only provide a visual representation of rank and authority but also foster a sense of unity and identity among the military police personnel.

The Como Air Force and Space Force uniforms draw inspiration from pilot uniforms, reflecting their focus on aviation and space operations. These uniforms are designed to meet the specific needs and requirements of the air and space personnel, ensuring functionality, comfort, and a sense of identity within these branches of the Como Military.

The uniforms of the Como Air Force and Space Force typically consist of flight suits, flight jackets, or other specialized aviation apparel. These uniforms are tailored to provide freedom of movement, durability, and protection during flight operations. They may feature pockets and compartments for carrying essential equipment and accessories.

Enlisted personnel in the Como Air Force and Space Force often have unique rank insignias, with tally marks tattooed on their arms or other visible locations. Each tally mark represents a certain level of rank or seniority, allowing for easy identification and differentiation among enlisted personnel.

For officers in the Como Air Force and Space Force, rank insignias are typically displayed in the form of bars and stars. The number of bars or stars indicates the officer's rank and level of authority. These rank insignias are often worn on shoulder boards or collar tabs, making them easily identifiable.

The use of tally marks for enlisted ranks and bars and stars for officer ranks allows for a clear distinction of rank and authority within the Como Air Force and Space Force. These rank insignias serve as symbols of responsibility, experience, and leadership within their respective branches.

The Como Navy uniforms are distinctive red sailor uniforms, which serve as a visual representation of their branch identity and traditions. The uniforms are designed to be easily recognizable and to foster a sense of camaraderie among sailors. The color red may symbolize various aspects such as courage, vitality, and the naval heritage of the Como Navy.

One notable feature of the Como Navy uniforms is their glow-in-the-dark capability. This feature is designed to aid in the event of a sailor falling overboard, providing increased visibility and facilitating rescue operations, especially in low-light or nighttime conditions. The glow-in-the-dark feature enhances safety and allows for quicker detection and recovery of individuals in distress.

Additionally, the Como Navy uniforms incorporate a built-in warning tracker. This tracker is likely an advanced technology integrated into the fabric of the uniform, serving as a safety measure for sailors. The tracker could provide real-time information on the location and status of a sailor, enhancing situational awareness and facilitating prompt response in case of emergencies.

In terms of rank insignias, the Como Navy utilizes symbols related to naval vessels to represent different ranks. For recruits and privates, the rank insignia is a picture of a small boat, reflecting their entry-level position in the Navy. Non-commissioned officers (NCOs) are represented by medium-sized ships, signifying their leadership role and increased responsibilities.

Junior officers within the Como Navy are denoted by the rank insignia of battleships. This reflects their higher rank and authority compared to NCOs, and their involvement in tactical and operational decision-making. Admirals, the highest-ranking officers, are represented by a picture of a naval fleet, symbolizing their command over multiple ships and their strategic leadership within the Navy.

These rank insignias, depicted as various types of naval vessels, reinforce the naval identity and hierarchy within the Como Navy. They serve as a visual indication of rank, authority, and experience, allowing for clear differentiation and recognition among sailors.

Overall, the distinctive red sailor uniforms, glow-in-the-dark capability, and rank insignias featuring naval vessels all contribute to the unique identity and operational effectiveness of the Como Navy.

The former Como Marine Corps uniforms were similar to the MARPAT (Marine Pattern) uniforms used by the United States Marine Corps. MARPAT uniforms are known for their digital camouflage pattern, designed to provide effective concealment and blending in various environments.

However, following the disbandment of the Como Marine Corps, the former Marines were required to turn in their uniforms as they were no longer part of an active military branch. Disbanding a military unit often involves the decommissioning of equipment and uniforms, ensuring that they are no longer used or worn by individuals who are no longer part of the military organization.

The decision to collect and retire the Como Marine Corps uniforms would have been made to maintain uniformity and distinguish the disbandment of the branch. It is common practice to retrieve and properly dispose of military uniforms and equipment when a military unit is disbanded, ensuring that they are not misused or mistaken for active-duty personnel.

After turning in their uniforms, the former Como Marines would likely be provided with new uniforms appropriate for their new assignments or roles within the Como Army or other branches of the Como Military, depending on their choices and qualifications.

If only a few former Como Marines, such as Dustin Walker, were allowed to keep their uniforms after the disbandment of the Como Marine Corps, it suggests that there may have been specific circumstances or permissions granted to those individuals.

Retaining a military uniform after leaving active service is not typically allowed, as it can create confusion and may be seen as impersonation or unauthorized use of military attire. However, there could be exceptions or special cases where individuals are granted permission to keep their uniforms for certain reasons.

In the case of Dustin Walker, being a highly decorated war veteran and a respected individual within the military, it's possible that he was granted special permission to retain his uniform as a symbol of his service and contribution to the Como Marine Corps. This could be seen as an honorary gesture or recognition of his accomplishments.

It's important to note that such exceptions are rare and would require appropriate authorization and justification.

Henry: Alright. That's one vehicle. let's-wait a sec. What the fuck is that?

After he said that, the eight and many others turned to what he's looking and it looks like some ancient like gate entrance structure.

Soon alarms rang as intercoms yelled a warning.

Automatic Intercom: WARNING!! ANOMALY DETECTION NEAR COTTON HILL DISTRICT!! WARNING!! ANOMALY DETECTED NEAR COTTON HILL DISTRICT!! ALL COMO MILITARY PERSONNEL HEAD TO THE LOCATION ARMED AND READY!!

All around, Como Army soldiers and the new recruits began grabbing their weapons and gear.

Most used the vehicles mounted LMGs, HMGs or TOW Launchers.

As everyone got in defensive positions, a commanding officer orders everyone to fix bayonets on their assault rifles, shotguns and LMGs.

Gerald: Does anyone on the hear rumbling and metal hitting something?

Gerald didn't need an answer as rows and rows of Saderan legionnaires came out of it. Including orcs and goblins. And a few dragons.

Saderan Legionnaire: TO YOU BARBARIANS!! SURRENDER YOUR LANDS TO THE EMPIRE!! OR SUFFER DEA-

Como Army Commanding Officer: OPEN FIRE!!!!

Gunfire, explosions, and the clash of metal fill the air as the battle ensues.

Henry, Carl, Hachie, Alexander, Evelyn, Arachnia, Joshua, and Gerald take their positions and engage the enemy forces. They utilize their training and combat skills, working together as a team to repel the invaders.

The Saderan legionnaires, armed with their own weapons and accompanied by creatures like orcs and goblins, put up a fierce fight. The dragons soaring above add an additional challenge to the defense.

Despite the initial surprise, the Como Army soldiers and recruits stand their ground, showing determination and resilience. They use a combination of small arms fire, heavy weapons, and tactical maneuvers to push back the Saderan forces.

Henry: Keep pushing, don't let them advance any further!

Carl: Watch out for those dragons! We need anti-air support!

Hachie: Grenade out! Clear the path!

Evelyn: Take cover! We need suppressive fire!

Arachnia: Use the terrain to our advantage! Flank them from the sides!

Joshua: Keep up the pressure! Don't give them an inch!

Gerald: Stay focused! We can drive them back!

The battle continues with intense exchanges of fire and close-quarters combat. The Como Army soldiers and recruits show their training and bravery, fighting to protect their land and push back the Saderan invaders.

As the fight rages on, reinforcements from other units begin to arrive, bolstering the defense and increasing the firepower against the Saderan forces. The battle becomes more intense, but the Como Army remains determined to defend their territory.

The outcome of the battle is uncertain, as it depends on various factors such as the strength and tactics of both sides. However, the Como Army soldiers and recruits fight valiantly, united in their goal to repel the Saderan invasion and protect their homeland.
