Thanks, I tried my best to make it kind of...funny but I'm not that good as a writer.

No, Frostberg is a city in the northern part of the Aldia Kingdom. If you were asking about the place where Sierra escaped then it is also in the northern area; however, the Capital is still far ahead.

this is the summarized events in TSAB's Point of View. I'm not sure if its that interesting though .

Spoiler:

The story takes place at Corsel, the planet that supplied most of TSABs raw materials need for creating devices and other equipments for their mages. During StrikerS, a civil war almost broke out in the Kingdom of Aldia—the largest and most prospered kingdom in Corsel. The rebels tried to overthrow the King of Aldia due to his tyranny and to stop any further expansions since it might become an interdimensional issue. However, the information was leaked and the
rebels were crushed before they could initiate their plans. The leaders of the rebels who happened to be mostly council members and high ranking knights of the kinging were executed right away. Cities and towns that secretly supported the rebellion were burned to the ground. Its people were severely punished and few lived to tell the demise of those who perished. TSAB decided not to support the rebels because even though the King is tyrannical, he is the one that provides them the materials that they needed the most. In addition, TSAB had a treaty with Aldia--stating that TSAB will not intervene in any domestic issues in Aldia as long as they provide the materials that the TSAB needs and inform them of all business transactions that the Aldian Kingdom had with other countries or planets. Not only that, TSAB had no time to waste on other people's issues due to the fact that the Midchilda itself is in danger of being destroyed by the Cradle.


One year and seven months later, TSAB not only found out that Jail Scaglietti was working for the TSAB High Council who supported him financially…TSAB also discovered that the ones that provided the necessary material for Scagliettie’s inventions was none other than the Aldian Kingdom. The new High Councils confronted the Aldian King about the issue and accused him of violating the treaty for not giving them any information in regards of the materials that was shipped secretly. The King defended himself by saying that the even though the rest of the TSAB ranks didn’t know of the business transaction that he had with the former three High Councils, it doesn’t change the fact that Aldia made deals with TSAB officials. In addition, he DID inform the TSAB about the shipment records since the former High Council members knew about it and was not his fault that the three of them kept it as a secret. The High Council stated that they were supposed to send the data to the Interdimensional Trading Agency of Midchilda and not directly to the former High Councils.


The arguments on the issue lasted three months and escalated to the point where the Aldian Kingdom stopped supplying TSAB with the materials they need. TSAB now had no other choice but to rely heavily on smaller kingdoms for supplies. Due to lack of materials, many research and weapons development programs in the TSAB progressed slowly. A month later, the Aldian Kingdom found out that the Kingdom of Orthia has been hiding some of the rebels that planned to overthrow the Aldian King a year and eleven months ago. The Aldian King demanded for the rebels to be handed over; however, the Orthian Kingdom refused since the Aldians that they hid were just the families of those who planned the rebellion. In addition, those people have become citizens of Orthia itself. However, the Aldian King could careless. Thus he sent 2045 troops, 504 autonomous tanks and other machineries. He also included 30 Aldian Knights in the borders of Orthia. It seems war was inevitable. As they cross the border, they saw 3,025 Orthian Troops approaching…much to their surprise…the TSAB ground forces were there as well. After 6 hours, the battle commenced and lasted for 2 days. The battled ended with the Victory of the Aldians. The presence of the Aldian Knights contributed greatly into their success. The Orthians in the other hand lost 2,733 of its troops and the TSAB ground forces lost many of its tanks and mages.


Since the Orthia is one of the few kingdoms that supplied the TSAB with the materials they need; they had to protect it. Another thing that bothered the TSAB the most was they received reports that the Aldian Kingdom’s possible involvement in human experiments and researches that was banned by the TSAB. The TSAB also received reports that the Aldian Army has been increased more than the allowed amount. As a result, TSAB sent their only newly developed ship, Varuna. They then assigned Admiral Chrono Harlaown as its captain and was accompanied by Enforcers Fate T. Harlaown and Teana Lanster to investigate if the reports were true and bring any solid evidence that they might find in the process as a top priority. In addition, in order to strengthen their forces in Orthia, TSAB sent Signum, Vita, Zafira, as well as the 97-109th Battalion.


After the arrival, Varuna stayed floating in a nearby lake that was surrounded by a forest which was about 98 kilometers away from the borders of the Aldian Kingdom. Two days have past since their arrival, Fate and Teana began their investigation. During their investigations, Fate and Teana found out that the Aldian Kingdom’s military force was bigger than the treaty allows. On the third day, another agent informed Varuna about a research facility in the Vealar Mountains. Fate and Teana headed to the location that was stated in the report; as they arrive in the mountainous area, they found out that the facility was heavily guarded by soldiers. They were lucky that the mist was thick. Teana then used Optic Hide EX Plus on Fate and on herself and manage to get past the security. Then they came across a big door. It was big enough for Voltaire to fit in. Then they followed the instruction that was included in the report and inserted the security cards in the left and right side of the door and pressed the switch at the same time. The door slowly moved sideways….a cold mist came out from the opening….and then as they walk slowly, they saw several bodies in tubes. Some were dissected and had cybernetic parts added on to them. Many of them had labels on them--such as how long the subject lived after the implantation of the cybernetic parts, the name of the subject, and age. They also saw several body parts and internal organs in others…some of it belonged to children. Fate and Teana were hesitant but they kept on moving and stumble upon the researchers’ desks. They picked up the documents that was around the desk and started reading parts of it. As they read, Fate and Teana found out that it was a research to improve the current Combat Cyborg technology. They also found out that many of the subjects were taken from the towns or villages involuntarily. Then Fate and Teana moved on to another room and as they walk, they could smell a familiar scent…..they entered the room and turned on the lights…Teana dropped to her knees and vomited right away after seeing the blood all over the rooms and in the beds….it was the room where they dissected the subjects and implanted cybernetic parts on them while they were still alive…Fate was blanked out but she came back to her senses when a researcher opened the door and saw them. Fate then restrained the man and decided to take him out before he could make any noise. Then Fate and Teana decided to take him to Varuna for questioning. As they gathered research documents, more researchers came in. Teana then used Optic Hide EX Plus to hide herself and Fate who was carrying the researcher and made their escape. After avoiding several soldiers who were guarding the facility, Fate and Teana made it out and headed directly to Varuna as fast as they could. As they make their way through the mountainous area, a powerful blast of wind suddenly hit Teana which knocked her off her flight path. To make it worse, Optic Hide EX Plus was disabled after she received the attack.. Fate was about to go down to the ground to help Teana; however, someone suddenly attacked her but she managed to block the sword with Bardiche. As she gaze at the one who made the attack, she saw a man with black hair and red eyes…he was carrying a zweihander class sword but it was shorter compared to the Zanber Form. As she prepared to use lightning bind to get the researcher out of the way, another blast of wind was on its away. Fate managed to avoid it with Blitz Rush. Another man made his appearance, this time his weapon was a gauntlet and a powerful gust was completely surrounding him. His hair was dark brown and his eyes were blue. Fate was at a disadvantage, not only she can’t defend herself properly while carrying the researcher; she can’t also fight in full force.

Also, for those of you who have seen my version of the 21 years old Fate, her barrier jacket currently in this part of the story is the same as the one in StrikerS. She will receive the new ones (the one that I designed) later which was made by the cooperation of Albion and TSAB staffs.

Albion ---> The official name of the rebellion group.

P.S.

I'll be posting Asclei's personal background later since I'm almost done with it.
