The Battle Begins

Immediately following the Rokkenjima News Report, the angry protesters of various species began to turn violent. The impact of the now violent protests was felt the hardest in Rokkenjima's major cites - Tokyo, Kyoto, Seoul, Pyongyang, Beijing, and Shanghai. There was property damage, of course. Shattered windows, broken-in doors, and even some flipped cars here and there lined the streets. Soon after, however, it began to dawn on people the magnitude of the situation they were now in. There were now large groups of people throughout the country acting out in spite of their government. For the first time, Rokkenjima was in conflict with itself.

The people realized that between the widespread protests, and Rokkenjima's interspecies military, that this could be their one and only opportunity to seize power for themselves. Upon this realization, all hell broke loose. It isn't known what side attacked first, but in an instant, the first blood of the conflict had been shed as Rokkenjima's various species turned on each other. Although most of their anger was directed at the witches near the beginning, especially after the Witch Council had enlisted nearly 28,000 more witches into the military, it was now a free-for-all. Without any weapons or military intervention, humans had the greatest disadvantage. They were easy targets for any vampires, demons, and witches they came across.

Many people began to take shelter anywhere they could manage. This usually meant taking over any building that was close to them, and fighting inside until the dominant species remained. No one was spared, even innocent civilians who hadn't participated in the protests. The bloody fighting would continue nonstop well into the afternoon. Despite the large number of deaths throughout the nation, none of the sides could manage to gain much territory for themselves. The most they could do without any weapons or military assistance was capture small buildings. Any large buildings experienced floor-to-floor fighting, where different species controlling multiple floors was common.

The Witch Council looked down on the ensuing chaos from atop an undisclosed building in Tokyo. They exchanged some glances, but no words, as if they were completely aware of this outcome beforehand. They had ceased communication with the Rokkenjima Armed Forces, with the exception of the witch division, leaving everyone else completely in the dark. Members of the military stationed across the nation witnessed the chaos as it aired on RNN. With no new orders coming in from the Witch Council, they realized they were on their own. They were now free to make any decision they saw fit, and soon, they would.

Mt.Fuji District

 

With reports of Rokkenjima's riots turning deadly and the threat of the Britannian controlled Mt. Fuji district in the heart of this conflict reports were going back and forth between Pendragon and the Mt. Fuji district. While the 1,000 man garrison have moved to full combat readiness plan have also been put into place to attempt to either evacuate or get in contact with the Witch Council to get an explanation. For the time being both Mt.Fuji District and Pendragon have been attempting to contact the witch council to get an explanation or at the very least secure the Mt.Fuji district from the conflict that has essentially started.

The civilian population and workers have already begun to prepare for evacuation, this evacuation while has to destination, would be out of reach from Rokkenjima. To aid in the extraction 1 Britannian Cruiser has been sent from Britannia to aid in the mission. While reports are still coming in, the Mt.Fuji district has been closed to all traffic except Britannian, all travel to Rokkenjima and from has also been closed, and efforts to extract Britannian civilians has begun. Any citizens should report to the Mt. Fuji district as soon as possible with proper ID and avoid public places. 

More updates will follow.

Dusk had arrived before long. At this point, the interspecies forces that made up the seemingly former Rokkenjima Armed Forces were still hours away. Although Rokkenjima was populated by various species, Japan had always had a majority witch population. The Witch Council was all too aware of this fact. Indeed, it was a large factor in their decision to bolster the number of witches in the Rokkenjima Armed Forces in the weeks leading up to this nationwide revolt.

The Witch Council, additionally, was aware of the legitimate threat that the de facto leaders of each species could pose. Both Commander Satan - former leader of Ente Isla's Demon Army, and General Esdeath - leader of the Jaegers, had prior experience with leading their own armies. In fact, the Rokkenjima Armed Forces had been meticulously designed to act as the leaders of Rokkenjima should the government be unable or unwilling to rule. The Council knew the exact locations of these two, as well as other popular individuals within each species. Commander Satan and his Generals Alciel and Lucifer were stationed in the former country of North Korea. General Esdeath, the Jaegers, and Night Raid were stationed in South Korea. The vampires, although their leader was less certain, mainly reside in Manchuria.

It was for these reasons that the Witch Council knew they could secure Japan with relative ease. Between the time it would take to arrive in Japan, and the likely hostilities that would occur between each species, Japan already belonged to the witches. Perhaps this was the reason why the number of witches taking part in the ensuing chaos was almost none. They knew the other sides would either destroy each other, or completely exhaust themselves waiting for their respective military forces which would never come. Instead, the witches would focus their energy on an entirely separate entity - the Britannian colony within Japan itself.

Many hours had passed with no response to Britannia's repeated attempts to contact the Witch Council. Finally, however, someone responded. It was a message intended directly for the Britannian Emperor himself. "Greetings, Emperor Lelouch. I am sure you are fully aware of who this is. That is right, the Golden and Endless Witch Beatrice. It is with great regret that I inform you we will have to wait a while longer before our respective countries can work together as promised. I am certain you understand. In the meantime, however, I would like to apologize for what is about to happen next." With that, the message abruptly ended.

The amount of dread was palpable in the Mt. Fuji district as the sun began to set. Most could probably assume that if an attack was coming, it would likely occur after dark. This thought, however, was suddenly interrupted by the sight of a lone man leading a reasonably large group of people behind him. Approaching the border to the district, the man waved his arms and shouted in an attempt to get the attention of the Britannian border patrol. "Heeeeey!"

Upon hearing the news in Rokkenjima, the quarantined public cried for intervention to save human life.

The Queen, eager to put some force on the witches, ordered SOF to start operations in Rokkenjima and help rebellious forces.

The 13th Recon Flotilla is taken out of quarantine and sent with transports to pick up strictly human refugees. The ships are ordered to defend the transports at all costs.
Queen Alice sends Witch Beatrice a telegram. It reads,

"Shalom,

This is Queen Alice of the Kingdom of Israel. I have dispatched the Israeli 13th Recon Flotilla to Rokkenjima to pick up human refugees from China and Japan.

Do not attempt to hinder this, as my ships are ordered to protect human life at all costs. Stopping the Flotilla will bring the full might of the Kingdom of Israel and her Commonwealth down on you.

If you do not interfere, we will have no issues. We are willing to make adjustments to make this comfortable but humans that wish to leave Rokkenjima will be allowed or Israeli forces will attack.

Mind you, any witches snuck aboard Israeli ships will be dumped at sea. There are armed guards on each transport to guard them and maintain order on the way back to Israel. Other species will be dropped off in Durotar and Britannia with the respective government's approval.

Any questions?"

With that sent, Queen Alice realizes this very well could cause war and she notifies the Dukes and Duchess' of every Duchy in the Kingdom to ready their troops, despite the virus. Social distancing is still in effect and soldiers are instructed to wash hands often.

The 1st and 7th Flotillas are positioned in Saudi ports, ready to sail to Japan at a minute's notice.

It wouldn't be Britannia's first time on the opposite end of a Rokkenjima rifle, prior experience would be a double-edged sword. Lelouch knowing the devious nature of the Witches and in particular Eva-Beatrice would be tricky to counter-predict. Nonetheless, Britannia had already dispatched their frigate to aid in the extraction of Britannian from Mt. Fuji. Alongside this, Britannia had issued the "Shoot-On-Sight" order to any and all Rokkenjima personal who approach the Mt.Fuji district including civilians.

The District would only need to hold out for a few hours for reinforcements to arrive. With the early departure and setup thankfully buying Britannia precious time Mt.Fuji would be prepared for the attack. Multiple layers of defense, border patrols and traps laid out in preparation for a brutal fight. The order would be broadcasted over the district, both to bolster the morale of the Britannians, and attempt to turn away Rokkenjima. This would be the ultimate test for the Mt.Fuji district.

Meanwhile at the border a shout was heard near the border. The sizeable force following the sound put the source of the noise on the spotlight. "By order of his majesty, Emperor Lelouch you are considered a threat!" This call was followed by multiple troops taking a firing stance and preparing to fire their arms as well as call in mortar support. Overkill did not exist at a time like this.

The corporation began patrols of the Indian Ocean past the Malacca, observing what could be gained by shipping to estimate weapons being unloaded to the civil war. The corporation had no specific side being supported currently, but maintaining a magical presence allowed for the company to utilize more entertaining conflict rather than the same storyline that has been repeated.

Corporate drones would expand their reach as far as possible to keep an eye on the logistics of the theater. It was important to push inventory upon the various factions but ensure it was balanced in their favor, the government was given priority. It was required that they remained in charge of East Asia over other options, and forcing decolonization was a priority. The Air Force would regularly patrol local skies, the Med being closed to foreign transit unwilling to admit to boarding and testing. Vessels that did not meet company standards would be removed from the sea by any means needed. Their next move was close at hand it was simply a matter of who should lose first.

Seeing the outbreak of violence in Rokkenjima, the United Provinces of Southeast Asia has elected to convert the northern Philippine Island of Luzon into a refugee port for those fleeing Rokkenjima. Refugee centers with good conditions have been set up by the navy for each nation involved and an aircraft and corvette have been deployed to the Mt. Fuji district to evacuate Britannian civilians, they will arrive in twenty minutes, much more quickly than Britannian relief. As foreign emissaries, the vessels are generally shielded from violence. All helicopters aboard the carrier have been deployed to evacuate refugees. Contact with UPSA forces will remain open to all nations and entities, including rebels in Rokkenjima. All are welcome to request aid. Not all will receive it.

The man stopped for a moment, raising up a white flag. He shouted back to the guards. "We are not hostiles! This group behind me wishes to flee the chaos. They are under my protection until everyone has been successfully evacuated. A safe location has already been decided upon, but we must request Britannia's assistance! I've also come to deliver some intelligence regarding the witches!"

Mt.Fuji District

 

The soldiers maintained their positioning. "Do not move, if you move you will be shot! Our orders are to evacuate Britannian civilians first and foremost. If you wish to evacuate please wait for more Britannian Ships to arrive. If you approach any further we will be forced to open fire. This is your only warning." The soldiers didn't move and maintained their composure.

The governor of the district took a megaphone to also add in his input to the group. "We aren't looking for intel, we are trying to escape with as few casualties as possible. Don't make this harder for anyone. Once aid arrives we will insure everyone is able to leave, if an enemy force does arrive we will relocate you and do our best to defend you. For the moment, bring forth your leader so we may discuss evacuation procedures."

The Britannian frigate sent to aid in the evacuation was closing in to aid the district as time drew closer and closer. With more and more reports of civilians fleeing, Britannia sent 2 transport ships and 2 Cruisers to aid in the evacuation as well. These extra ships would allow more civilians to flee, but at a small time cost.

The man stepped forward cautiously, keeping an eye on the group behind him as he approached. He soon crossed the border and introduced himself to the members of the Britannian border patrol. "My name is Willard H. Wright, first-class archbishop and Chief Inquisitor of the SSVD, the 8th District Repentance Enforcement Agency of the Great Court of Heaven. In layman's terms, I am an angel. I've been sent by my superiors to ensure the safety of Rokkenjima's evacuees, and to oversee the neutral territories of Hong Kong and Macau. If Britannia is evacuating its civilians as well, these territories would be the safest places for the time being."

The soldiers eyed each other as the man came closer. However, the Britannian governor left the safety of his troops to approach the man who had so boldly approached the soldier. The man gave a light smile and held out his hand for a handshake. "If you are willing to sacrifice you life for others, I will be willing to help. We will do our best to keep you and these people safe while our evacuation arrives. Inform them to not approach the border, and we will send troops to secure their flank." the man finished before twirling his 'opium pipe'. The name is Kei Sakura, Britannia's former Japanese Governor and current Mt. Fuji district governor.

Without a response, and the message likely being forgotten, Israeli troops make a beachhead in Qingdao and start Operation Saving Grace.
