...
After Icy confessed the real reason behind their new enemy's motivations, everyone still alive in Alfea was shocked. No one could believe that was the reason for all the things his armies had done, or that he had managed to do what no one else did - Reform the Trix. It took them some time to snap out of it before anyone could say a word.

- Does Valtor know about all this? - Master Saladin asked. Barely a second after he said that, the tent that belonged to the Master was blown away , and an angry voice replied.
- Now I know! - Everyone looked toward the direction the voice came from. They saw that all too familiar figure, even though this clothing still showed marks from the first encounter with the Outcast, and there was a black hole where his right arm used to be.
- Valtor! - Mrs. Griffin said - How did You bypass Alfea's barier?
- I suppose Your little friend, Count Wallenrod, destroyed it, too. It does not matter - He has been destroying my plans for far too long. I took my time to rebuild my strenght, and my army. I am ready to fight him. But first I am going to get rid of You - He then looked toward the Trix - And You will pay for what he did to me!
- We will never let You win, Valtor! - Bloom replied, and like the rest of the fairies took position, ready to transform into her 'battle' suit.
- We will see about that, little girl! - Valtor chattered, then turned around and with his one arm left supported his spell - I summon my army!

The spell worked. But what happened next, took everyone by surprise. Instead of a bunch of various monsters, beasts, possessed natives and witches, there was just a thick white smoke around. It wasn't until the wind started blowing it away, that the details of carnage began to surface. All around there was nothing but dead bodies, with missing limbs, blood and signs of being burned alive in some cases. And the silence - this deafening silence, which made the whole scene even more terrifying.

Just before the smoke had cleared, everybody heard sounds of movement inside the place where Valtor's army should have stood. Then there was a silent whisper:

- Fix Bayonets.

Followed by sounds of metal cracking and then  something heavy hitting the ground.  Only when the smoke cleared completely, did they see six people, wearing greenish uniform reinforced with body armour, crouching and aiming at them with six barrels, now with bayonets fixed, in case they had to use them like spears. Those six did not wear masks for some reason, so they could see their faces, especially one that was holding his assault rifle in his left hand.

- Janek! - Icy shouted seeing him, moments before correcting herself, feeling the gaze of all falling on her - I mean , Count Wallenrod!
- YOU! - Valtor screamed, seeing his new army wiped out by his new adversary.
- And what did you expect!?! SAILOR MOON or something!?! - Bartek screamed to him in reply, and then saw his comrades staring at him with disbelief for a moment - Oh  come on. At least I try.
- Bhahahahaha! STILL NOT FUNNY, Fatman! - Fahad replied in his favourite manner.
- That's why I kinda like him, You know... - Stormy said on the side to the fairies, causing them to gasp in amazement.
- We meet again, Valtor! - Janek finally replied to the wizard's scream - Or should I call You another Fool with Delusion of Grandeur.
- Why you! You dare talk to me like that!?! I will make you suffer for this, Count Wallenrod.
- Suffer? I had suffered enough already. You won't surpass what I had to endure!
- Janek, let me teach him the meaning of pain. - Julia asked for permission to shoot. Though she didn't say it, the Outcasts figured out where she was aiming with her M-16 that replaced her Mauser rifle for now.
- Not yet - he replied, then screamed toward the wizard - Try what you might, Valtor, but now know - While claiming for Heaven, We served in Hell!
- I will make you wish you were back in that Hell, Count Wallenrod, once I get You and Your comrades! I will make you beg for death at my hands!
- Petulent brat! You have no idea what kind of Hell we had to survive at the hands of the Aryans! And their 'Elite' formation of Waffen-SS! Compared to them, You are some kind of a kindergarden joke - just like Your slaves and these fairies and their boyfriends around us! They were monsters, but also professional soldiers! I could consider them worthy opponents - Not like any of You.
- I have a bad feeling about this! - Kathy said to her colleagues, noticing that by giving himself to his anger, Janek started to go a little too far. But before any of them could tell him to slow it down, Janek finally screamed.
- In fact, after all the let down I and my soldiers had with You, I wish I could fight with them one more time!

Just like Kathy predicted, the moment Janek screamed that line, he covered his mouth with his right hand, his eyes wide open in terror. The natives didn't understand that move of his - even the Trix didn't know Janek could do magical stuff by simply saying it. And that now he had made a wish that would most certainly come true. But the Outcasts knew, and they were as terrified as he was. Janek looked toward Beata.

- Tell me that wish didn't come true. Please! - He told her with scare in his voice. Beata put her hand in one of her pockets, trying to find her Tarrot Cards. But before she could lift them, there was an ominous mechanical sound in the air, and both the ground and what little remained of Alfea started to shake violently. And as the sound got closer, so the vibrations began to get stronger and stronger.
- What is happening? - Flora asked, looking around just like the rest, scared out of their wits.
- Count Wallenrod's army is approaching. - Riven said, while preparing his sword
-Or worse! - Janek  corrected him. This made all the natives puzzled, but then Bartek took out his mini computer and connected to the nearest scout drone overlooking the area. There, he got his answer.
- PANTHER!!! - He screamed, while pointing at the college's gate, that was promtply blown away by a huge explosion. Moments later, a 45-tonne behemoth drove through it's remain, crushing everything on it path. All while the fairies, their boyfriends, the Trix, Professors, Valtor and eveyone else just watched.

Seconds after the tank entered Alfea's garden, Infantry started showing up. All of them dressed up in camouflage smocks, with thousands of small, colored spots, all of them having distinctive insignias of the Waffen-SS on their collars, and all of them screaming in yet another language they could't understand.
- ZUM ANGRIFF! FORWARTS MARSCH!
- ACHTUNG! FEIND IN SICHT! UNTERSTUTZUNG FEUER!
- DA SIND DIE ZIVILISTEN!
- NICHT ZIVILISTEN! PARTISANEN!
- ICH HAB IHN GESEHEN!
- JA! BEWEGUNG!
- ERSCHIESSEN SIE ALLE! KEINE GNADE!

And that was when the massacre really began. What the Trix knew only from stories told by the Outcasts, now they could see for real - the Aryans were shooting at anything that moved and left no one alive. Even if someboby was wounded, they kept shooting until he or she was dead. No one was safe from their fire. Not even the remaining survivors of the Royal families.

As soon as bullets began flying in the air, the Royals tried to fly away in the only flyable craft left.  Fools did not predict that such an aircraft would be a perfect target for the Panther. The moment the last of the Royals entered the craft, and it's pilot began to take off, the gunner got it's aim.

- FEUER! - the order was heard from inside the tank, and then the AT-round flew straight into the plane, disintegrating it into thousands of pieces, killing all aboard. Some of Winx's parents were onboard that craft, and if not for the constant shooting, one could hear them screaming "NO!" as the disaster stroke.

The Outcasts were not there when the massacre began. As soon as the gate was blown up, they took shelter inside the ruins of school, out of the Waffen-SS' gaze.

- Goddamnit! That's the last time I wish for anything! - Janek screamed, while choking the panic of the whole situation - I swear! That's the Last Fucking Time!
- Well, this will be just like old times, right Johnson? - Fahad asked, while trying to check how much ammo he had left.
- Wouldn't You say, Fahad. - He got in reply. Then Janek asked Julia, who was overlooking the situation through a portable periscope - What's going on there, Julia?
- How to say it, Janek - I don't know how well they performed against our divisions, but against this small SS squad they are getting slaughtered.
- I hope You didn't bring the whole SS battalion here. Right, Janek? - Kathy asked Janek - We don't have much ammunition left after the battle with Valtor's army.
- How many of them You can see, Julia? - Janek asked Julia again.
- One Panther tank.... One Panzer IV just showed up through the gate. Infantry... about fifty plus.
- Halftracks? Flak guns 20 mm?
- No. None that I can see.
- Well then. At least we know our priorities, right? - Bartek asked Janek, while also trying to see what was going on.
- Yes. We must take out the tanks, first - Janek confirmed. - The only question is, How?
- Well, we can still call an air support. - Bartek took his mini computer, and second later one lost bullet blew it to pieces right in his hands - Damn, I spoke too soon.

Just then, Kathy raised her assault rifle, took aim, and fired her last grenade from a launcher mounted below her barrel. The grenade hit the roof of Panther's turret, bounced off and exploded above a machine gun crew, putting it out of action.

- Well,I had to try. - she stated - At least we know that won't work.
- Some of the SS are carrying Panzerfausts on their backs - Julia reported to the group - That could work if we can get close enough.
- Or this, too! - Kathy took off one of the grenades from her second pouch. the Outcasts looked at it, and had their eyes wide opened in fear.
- You brought grenades with White Phosphorus!?! - Beata screamed.
- It's a weapon like any else. And more portable than a flamethrower - Kathy defended herself - We can also use them for smoke cover.
Then one of the surviving Specialists came toward their position, running for cover.

- What are You doing here! - He screamed at them - Are you... - Before he could finish, a tank round went through him, turning him into an ugly mess of bones, meat and blood.
- It took us long enough - Janek commented on the whole scene - Come on! We have to kill those animals!
- YES! - Fahad screamed with joy when Janek finally decided to swing into action.
- Julia, the situation.
- Ten infantry coming toward the west wing.
- They can't get inside the building. Take them out! - Janek gave the order, and the Outcasts finally opened fire at designated targets. They set their rifles to semi-automatic fire, in order to save ammunition. It worked - less than seconds, and all ten SS-men were dead before any reached the building.

That is, those who could fire their guns - Beata, who had a SPAS 12 shotgun, didn't fire at the SS due to her weapon's short range. Instead she guarded the flanks. Which proved helpful when all of the sudden some German Shepherd Attack Dogs showed up, racing towards them. Beata's answer was emptying her magazine on them, the last one killed in midair, as it jumped at her throat.

- PETA would be pissed, huh? - She asked while looking at Fahad.
- Fuck PETA! - Fahad replied, while waiting for an opportunity.
- Ten infantrymen on the left. - Julia called.
- They are mine! - Fahad answered and fired a single burst from his machine gun, killing another wave of enemies.

But then they saw both Panther and Panzer IV turning their guns at their position, and they were forced to run away. They barely made it before both rounds hit that part of the college, in which they were hiding. When they saw white smoke and screams of youngsters being burnt alive coming out of their previous room, they knew what were the tanks firing.

- Guess we can now use White Phosphorus against them, huh? - Bartek asked.
- No Shit, Fatman! - Fahad replied.
- Friends, over there! - Janek pointed his comrades a way to go up, to what was left of the college's first floor.

From there they could see the natives trying to fight back and failing constantly, as they were mauled by SS-men, who fired at anything that dared to show up. Valtor was one of their victims. As the Outcasts watched, the wizard tried to run away with some kind of artifact, but was quickly brought back on earth by machine gun fire. He fell, and kept trying to grab the artifact - So much that he didn't notice the Panther tank coming to squash him under his tracks.  He only realized it when one of his legs was being crushed under the weight of the tank. The sound of the moving tank made it impossible for anyone to hear him scream in horror and pain, as the Panther did away with him.

- Well, at least he deserved it. - Kathy commented shortly on his demise. Then she noticed something - Look, over there!

She spotted a small hole, in which the Trix took shelter when the Waffen-SS opened fire at anybody inside Alfea. One of the Sturmmen discovered them and aimed his assault rifle on them.
- STIRBT, SCHWEINE! - He screamed at them, moments before Julia's bullet blew his face away. And he fell on them, spilling his own brain and blood all over the witches.

- Take out the Tank Commanders, Julia! They tell the gunners where to shoot. - Janek ordered Julia. And so she did - taking out and eliminating the tank commander of the Panther, who had his head outside his cupola, to give command to infantry as well.  The one from Panzer IV, seeing this, quickly dived into his vehicle.
- That one is out of reach. - Julia said when she saw Panzer IV commander doing it.
- Then we have to get close enough. - Janek replied. - Kathy, Julia, You stay here. Wait for my signal and throw these White Phosphorus grenades as far as You can. Fahad, Bartek, take position from where to provide flanking fire. Beata, You come with me as soon as the girls throw the grenades. We get to the Panzer and eliminate it with whatever weapon we find among the dead. The rest of You guard from above. Any questions?
- What to aim at? - Julia asked.
- Any large group. We will burn them out. Alright, get ready! - Fahad and Bartek moved to a better machine gun position - Covering fire! - Janek screamed and all six barrels - including Beata's pistol - opened fire at the SS, thus provoking them to return fire. Exactly what they wanted them to do. - Now! Toss them! Beata, let's go!

As Janek and Beata ran down, Julia and Kathy threw the grenades into any spot where they saw the gunfire being returned from.

- ACHTUNG! GRANATEN! - They could hear the SS-Men seeing their grenades flying towards them. And soldiers were separating from each other to avoid the blast.

But it wasn't till those grenades blew up in midair, above their heads, and started raining fire, that they realized what those actually were. Within seconds, the incinerating, toxic white cloud spread all around Alfea's yard, incinerating and polluting all beneath it. And the Outcasts could hear members of the Waffen-SS screaming in agony, as the cloud took more and more victims. Fahad, as always, was way too happy to witness that carnage.

- BRENNT, HURENSOHNE! BRENNT! HAHAHAH!!!- He screamed. But only he. The rest of the Outcasts kept it to themselves. But then, Fahad noticed something that horrified him. He called Janek on the intercom. - Oh Shit! Johnson, the wind has changed direction. It's now coming towards us!
- I know. - Janek replied - Put on Your masks. If necessary, change positions.  Beata, we are going around! Stay close and shoot at anyone that can walk!
- Alright.... Why?
- Cause if they can walk, then they can use weapons as well. I am not going to give them  a chance. Come on, we must get to the Panther while we still can.

So they did. Bypassing the toxic cloud, slowly and methodically they came closer to the last position of the Panther tank. They heard screams of dying, explosions caused by grenades reaching cook off time and sounds of gunfire as the other four either provided covering fire or fought those SS-men who tried to flank. Each time they responded via intercom, so Janek knew they survived those attacks. All while being watched by the Trix from their hideout now augmented with a corpse of the dead SS-man.

Eventually they reached the Panther just by hearing it.

- It's turning. It's still looking for targets. - Janek stated, moments before the tank fired another incendiary round into the remains of a random room of Alfea. - Quick, any AT weapons nearby?
- Here. A Magnetic Mine. - Beata managed to find one that survived being heated up to the point of reaching it's cook off time.
- Better this than nothing. Place it, I cover You. - Janek ordered Beata, and she followed it. She was just about to place the mine on the side of the tank, when she realized something.
- DAMN! It's covered with Anti-Magnetic Zimmerit! - She screamed loud enough for Janek to hear.
- Then place it on the roof! - Janek told her in reply. So she did, placing the mine as close to the base of the turret as possible. She armed the charge, and ran away.

Seconds later the mine detonated, piercing through the thin roof of the tank and turning the interior into a giant oven. Once again, like back in Warsaw, they could hear the crew of the tank screaming, as they slowly roosted inside, unable to escape. It took a few seconds before the hull went silent, for all to see and hear.

- Certainly just like old times. - Beata commented upon remembering very similar scenes and sounds back when they fought behind enemy lines in Warsaw. Before Janek could reply, a hail of bullets began to fly around, some of them even hitting both of them.
- Take cover behind the Panther, now! - Janek screamed to her, and so they did. After that, they took a moment to touch each other, just to see if any of them received a single wound. There was none, other than a lot of holes in their uniforms. - Guess reinforcing them with Titanium did it's job.
- That wasn't that Panzer alone. Some of the infantry must still be alive... - Beata barely finished, then she picked up her shotgun and killed an SS-man that came around the front of the Panther. Janek did the same with another one that came around the rear.
- It's not over yet. We still have one more to kill. - Janek stated, and then both of them began a long struggle to stay alive battling SS-soldiers trying to kill them whether with gunfire,  grenades or meele attacks, while trying to contact the rest, who suddenly went silent. - Fahad, Bart, Julia, Kathy, come in! Friends, where are You!??! Come in!
It took like two minutes of agonizing wait and hand to hand fight before the remaining four finally replied.
-It's okay, Johnson! - Fahad spoke in the name of the rest - We had to change position, plus fight off a few SS-men who managed to get inside. Where are you?
- We are hiding behind the Panther tank. We can't move, we are pinned down by that Panzer IV and the remaining infantry. Can You see them?
- Yes, we can. - Kathy replied - About ten to fifteen infantry remained with the Panzer.
- Looks like they are preparing to attack You en masse. - Julia observed - They must be coordinating their attack.
- You better be able to finish them off. We are out. - Beata screamed into her intercom.
- Don't worry, Jewish Snack! - Fahad replied with joyful mockery - We got such a position now, they are  sitting ducks! - Then he spoke to the rest with him - Alright, bitches! We must make these shots count! Wait for my signal to fire!

So the four took their aim, waiting for the remaining infantry to make it's move, while Fahad kept repeating - Hold your fire! Not Yet!

In the meantime Janek and Beata cocked their Vis model 35 pistols, the only firearms they had left.

- You better not fuck it up, you bloody Thai hooligan! - Beata screamed to Fahad.
- Hold your fire! - Fahad said one more time, and then almost all of the infantry started storming the wreck of the Panther, except for one who stayed with Panzer IV. That was the moment Fahad waited for - Fire!

Fahad, Bartek, Kathy and Julia opened fire almost simultaneously. And just as Fahad wanted it to happen, their combined fire wiped out the infantrymen before they could split up into smaller groups.

- Johnson, One on Your right! - He screamed via intercom, allowing Janek to raise his pistol in the right direction and kill one who avoided their bullets.
- ACHTUNG! MASCHINENGEWEHR DAHER! - the last SS-man pointed to the tank commander, before Julia killed him with her last bullet. It didn't stop the last Panzer IV from continuing the fight.
- DER SIEG WIRD UNSER SEIN! FUR FUHRER! FAHRER, FERTIG MACHEN! FLAMMENGRANATE LAGEN!

This time however, something happened. Something none of those still in Alfea expected to happen. The Trix, while shocked and scared out of their wits for the most part due to witnessing such a carnage around them, suddenly made their move. They moved the corpse of the SS-man who tried to kill them, and Icy grabbed a Panzerfaust he had on his back. She looked at the picture of how to use, painted on the warhead, armed the weapon and took aim at the Panzer. Just as the tank commander spotted her.

-ACHTUNG! PANZERJAGER! - He screamed just seconds before Icy fired the weapon and it hit the Panzer dead centre.

Flames blew out from inside of the tank, and it's crew started to flee while on fire. This was the moment the witches had seen for the first time what did it look like to be burnt alive up close. They watched them being consumed by flames, filling the air with screams of their agony. But then, instead of just grabbing their pistols and shooting themselves, the tankmen suddenly jumped at the witches. All while still burning like torches, and having parts of their bodies fall away in ashes. They attempted to overpower and take the Trix with them, turning them to their own visage that the toons now saw up close. The only reason they failed was because Janek and Beata ran to the spot and shot them with their own Vis pistols, putting an end to their existence.
 
The witches managed to push their dead bodies away, then fell to their knees. Their eyes wide opened, staring at everything and seeing nothing. They didn't even looked up when the rest of the Outcasts joined their friends, while looting for weapons and ammunition from the corpses of the Waffen-SS - And a moment after Fahad has stopped to empty his bladder on a Nazi flag that had somehow survived being burned and had been lying among the dead. The boys tried to talk to them, to make them realize the horror was over. Eventually they succeeded, the Trix looked at them.

And then... They bursted into loud, psychotic laughter. A laughter that soon turned into choking cry when tears fell down their cheeks. For now they were little more than emotional trainwrecks. Suffering from what the Outcasts knew all too well, as they knew they had it, too, but did their best not to show it at all - a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The boys hugged their girlfriends, as the witches kept on crying.

- What unit were those soldiers from? - Julia asked, scanning for any survivors who had to be killed. Kathy picked up a random left arm, severed from it's body, and looked at the black armband on the uniform's remains.
- Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler - She told her friend.
- Fuhrer's Personal Bodyguards? - Julia repeated after her - The Best of the Best? Oh, my God.
- At least those weren't animals of Dirlewanger or SS-RONA. - Kathy replied.
- Don't even mention them. - Beata shut her up - Those beasts were criminals and psychos even by Nazi standards...  
- You know. - Fahad then said to his friends as quietly as possible - First Cloud Tower, now Alfea. This was almost like Columbine.
- Only that here the students could fight back. - Beata realized while looking around, to ensure no member of the Waffen-SS survived. Just like the rest of their group.
- If only they had fought back. - Janek commented on the whole ordeal - If only they had fought back.

After that, Janek returned his attention to Icy, still hugging her and trying to protect her from the horror around with his own body.

- It's alright. You are safe now, my love. You are safe.
- Please, take me out of here. - Icy finally asked him through her cry and tears. And Janek obeyed her. He took her in his arms and together with his friends - Bartek and Fahad did the same with Darcy and Stormy respectively - they started marching back towards the "Bismarck". They all looked around the Gorn that used to be Alfea - now little more than burning ruins and landfill with burned corpses and charcoaled materials.
- What about the rest of the natives? - Beata asked as they moved. To which Fahad provided the answer.
- Wiped out. Those who escaped the SS died of smoke inhalation. More victims of White Phosphorus.
- Confirmed. - added Bartek - We have seen them while moving to new position. Smoke inhalation for sure.
- ... How many you accounted? - Beata asked one more question.
- All but the 'heroes'. - Fahad replied again. Then added - I guess now the Universe is really ours.
- What will we do with the 'heroes'?- When Kathy asked that, Janek put an end to this discussion.
- Next time, my Friends. Next time. - After that, no more words came from their mouths as they moved away.

The only ones who watched them go away were, indeed, the Winx, their boyfriends and teachers - the only other survivors of the carnage. They left the ruins of Alfea, just as shocked as the Trix. But now fully aware the war had been lost and they had to go into hiding. They left the school one by one, with Master Saladin being the last one to leave. As he watched the Outcasts leaving, before turning away, Master Saladin made one, final, define  statement about what the Outcasts had to endure in the past. At least the only one he could come up with
- Poor Kids. Who would dare to look at You, now?

This text is a small tribute a fellow DA artist and a friend of mine, elise-lucy.deviantart.com. In one of her comments, she recommended that I should write more military-related stories, since those are the ones I do best.

So, there You have one specially, for You - though it was lurking in my mind for some time, already. Think of it as an alternate version of a certain scene in my Magnum Opus.

Enjoy the reading....

Dzięki za dedykację :)
Opowiadanie dość mocne. Miło zobaczyć, że grupa Wyklęty staje do walki z równym sobie przeciwnikiem. I myślę, że mają naprawdę sporo szczęścia, że wszyscy wyszli z tej walki z całą grupą elitarnych żołnierzy w jednym kawałku. Ewentualnie to Azrael daje im plot armor. W ogóle plot armor silnie rzuca się tu w oczy; anonimowe wróżki poginęły, przeżyli za to niemal wszyscy imienni bohaterowie. Ale podejrzewam, że taka jest też specyfika tego wszechświata.
Trochę szkoda tych pomordowanych, bo całe życie uczyli się, że w walce najskuteczniejsza jest magia, a tutaj kompletnie nic ona nie daje (choć tak w zasadzie to podobny los spotkałby prawie każdą "naszą" szkołę albo instytucję, gdyby zaatakował ją oddział tak ciężko uzbrojonych ludzi). Ciekawe, czy jakby można ją było wykorzystać przeciwko żołnierzom z naszego uniwersum, cała wojna nie potoczyłaby się inaczej.
