Y/N P.O.V.

After I told them about my TSF, I returned to the dorm and went to my bed. When I was in my bed, I closed my eyes and started to sleep.

Place changes: Y/N's nightmare

It was a nightmare to fight the BETA's here. We can barely defend the last remaining base in Rhineland. I was with Bianca, Paula, Jean in one squadron. The other squadron was about to join us. It was in the midnight when they finally arrived.

(Daria Schmidt, Ensign)

(Theresa von Feldmann, Commander)

(Zoe Fischer, Sergeant)

(Lotte Weber, Sergeant Major)

I was relieved when they finally came. I was at that time just an Ensign. 

Theresa:"Ensign L/N, something happened?"

Y/N:"Nothing happened, Kommandantin von Feldmann."

Theresa:"I see. We need to be careful. They could attack at every time."

When she said this, I heard how the radars started to detect many unknowns targets. This is the thing I really hate when someone has to jinx things. We all got ready and flew into the sky. I was really shocked to see many BETA's. Suddenly, a few lasers appeared and hit the TSF's of Zoe and Theresa. 

Diana:"Kommandantin, no!"

Lotte:"What are we gonna do now?"

Y/N:"We need to hold the positions and wait for the reinforcement."

Paula:"Which reinforcement?"

Y/N:"French TSF's will come to our help. For the meaning time, we need to defend this base."

We started to fly at the BETA's and killed some of them. Diana wasn't careful enough and was hit. Her TSF was laying on the ground and those bastards opened the pilot box and killed her by eating her. When I looked at the base, I couldn't trust my eyes because the base was burning. I gritted my teeth and we had to retreat. With that, we left the battlefield and flew to the next defense line which was in France. After a while of flying, Lotte and I were hit. When my TSF crashed, I was blacked out. 

A small timeskip

After I opened my eyes, I groaned in pain. I grabbed a pistol with a flashlight on it. I opened the door of my pilot cabine and stepped outside. I tried to reach the other but there was a murmur in the communication. I remembered that Lotte was also hit. I tried to find her TSF and after a while, I finally found it. I looked at the TSF with wide opened eyes. The pilote cabine was opened and those bastards were about to eat her. I looked at my girlfriend with a horrified expression.

Lotte:"Y/N, please shoot me! I don't wanna be eaten alive! Shoot at me! Shoot at me!"

Place changes: Real world

I woke up and realized that I was sweating very much and breathing very fast. I noticed that a hand touched my shoulder. I looked at the person and noticed that it was Bianca.

Bianca:*asks worried* "Y/N, are you alright?"

Y/N:"It's just a nightmare."

Paula:"We heard you talking about Lotte."

Y/N:*starts to cry* "I can't forget about her fate. If I came in time, I could have saved her."

Jean:"I don't wanna say it but if you came in time, you also could have died there."

I didn't wanted to accept this but deep in my heart I knew that she said the truth.

Timeskip: next day in the late afternoon

I was with my squadron in a forest. Our mission was to scout the place if new BETA's would appear. Not of nowhere, I noticed on my radar the Zhar Battalion. They flew to us.

Fikatsia:"What are you doing here?"

Y/N:"Our mission is to scout the forest and if possible to kill all the BETAs."

Fikatsia:"I see. For your information, the base needed to be evacuted."

Paula:"What happened?"

Fikatsia:"I don't know. Anyways, we need to kill the Laser-class BETAs."

Y/N:"Understood. We will help you in that mission."

Nastassja:"We don't need your helps!"

Y/N:*speaks in Russian* "Shut up! We also have our orders." *sighs, then speaks in English* "Anyways, we will destroy the first group."

When I said this, I signalled my squadron to follow me. With that, we started to search the BETAs. After a while we finally found them. We flew quickly at them and started to take them out. Suddenly, we got an emergency call from the Zhar Battalion. Almost every TSF pilots were killed. The last one was Zhar 1. I quickly flew to her position and saw that Fikatsia was about to be killed. Her TSF was on the ground and I got flashbacks to that certain moment when my girlfriend Lotte was in the same situation. I quickly slashed the BETA and pushed it away. Then I looked at her and saw that she was shocked but alive.

Y/N:"Are you okay, Lieutenant-Colonel Latrova?"

Fikatsia:"Yes, I am. Thanks for the help."

Y/N:"You are welcome. I wouldn't recommend to talk here in a battlefield. Now, get up. I will bring you into my pilot cabine."

I saw that she got up and my TSF arm was in position so she could stand on it. When she was there, I positioned my TSF hand in front of my pilot cabine. I quickly opened the cabine and she got in. I closed the cabine and I helped her with the seat belt. When it was done, I turned my attention to my squadron.

Bianca:"Every BETAs from the Laser-class are dead."

Y/N:"Understood. It's time to return to the base."

With that, we flew to the next base because the last base was evacuted.

Timeskip: evening

We finally saw the base and landed in the hangar. When we got out from the TSFs, we were greeted by Yuuya, Stella, Tarisa, VG, Ibrahim and Yui.

Yuuya:"You made us worried."

Y/N:"Sorry, we had to take care of our old friends."

To my suprise, I saw my mother. We all saluted.

Sofia:"Lieutenant-Colonel Latrova, I am sorry to say this but the other Gen.'s removed you from the Soviet Army."

I was shocked to hear this.

Y/N:"What will happen to her?"

Sofia:"She was only removed from the Soviet Army. I couldn't do anything against this."

I just couldn't believe this. Then an idea came into my mind.

Y/N:"Then how about to recruit her into my squadron?"

I saw that everyone was shocked except my mother. I saw that she smiled at this.

Sofia:"I already figured that you would recruit her in your squadron. To your luck, they didn't say anything about her fate."

I smiled at this because I just recruited a very talented TSF pilot. I turned to Fikatsia and gave her my hand.

Y/N:"Welcome into our squadron."

Fikatsia:"Why would you do this for me?"

Y/N:"I have my reasons."

Sofia:"Cpt. L/N, can I talk with you in private?"

Y/N:"Of course, Gen. L/N."

She gave the sign to follow her which I did. She brought me her office. We both took a seat.

Sofia:"When you mentioned that you have your reasons, can I ask by what you meant by this?"

Y/N:"It happened when I was in Germany. I had the mission to defend the last remaining base in Rhineland. When we lost the base, I gave my team the order to retreat because Kommandantin von Feldwebel was killed."

Sofia:"Von Feldwebel? Who is that?"

Y/N:"She was the older sister of Bianca von Feldwebel. Anyways, mine TSF as well as the TSF of my team mate and girlfriend were hit. My TSF crashed and I was blacked out. When I regained my consciousness, I left my TSF and started to search for the TSF of my girlfriend. I found it but I was confronted with the truth that she was about to eaten alive by those BETAs. She screamed at me to shoot at her which I did. I will never forget this day and I am still afraid to lose a close person to me."

Sofia:"I understand. I think that when you rescued her, you remembered what happened back in Germany, am I right?"

I nodded at her.

Sofia:"I understand. You can go now."

Sofia P.O.V.

I already knew that he had a girlfriend called Lotte Weber. She was a pretty woman and I still can feel his ache about her loss. Luckily, Friedrich and I were planning how they could meet each other again. I also can't wait when those girls will confess their feelings to my son.

Y/N P.O.V.

I was on the way to the dorm. During the way, I was thinking if I could find love again. I put the thought away from my minds and entered the dorm. I was suprised to see Stella, Tarisa, Yui and Kriska.

Y/N:"Can I ask what is going here?"

Yui:"Y/N, we came here to discuss about something important here."

Y/N:*speaks slowly* "Ok."

I noticed that they were blushing. Then I realized that they wanted to confess their feelings to me.

Y/N:"Are you really sure that you wanna confess your feelings to me?"

Bianca:"Of course."

Y/N:*sighs heavily* "It's just that I am a magnet for problems."

Fikatsia:"Even if it's the case, we will love you with our heart."

When she said this, tears of joy came out from eyes. I really hope that I can protect them. In the next moment, they all went to me and were kissing me. I was very happy because I got many girlfriends. From this moment, I swore to myself that I will protect them no matter what.
