As the battle in Tokyo continued, the Admiral was still observing everything which he was now ready to begin their counterattack.
"Alright lets prepare to move forward, all forces prepa-", The Admiral was saying only for a flash of light coming towards the fleet.
A large portion of ships soon exploded which rocked the fleet heavily. Luckily the California Class managed to escape just barely. Though its systems were down and the Admiral turned for a battle damage. Not sure what was going on he soon turned to see that his guest the Pale Angel was already gone.
"Fucking Plutocrats... always running.", the Admiral soon commented til someone came into the bridge soon reporting, "Sir this is bad the Liberation force is attacking our ships!!"
"What? Betrayal?!!', The Admiral should of saw this coming, once a pirate always a pirate.
Though they were going to throw him away afterwards anyways, soon the ship soon rocked as the Admiral managed to get outside to see the other ships being being attacked. One by one each ship was beginning to sink, which he soon went to the nearest radio.
"Get me the Commandore have the Union ships leave the area immanently!!", the Admiral ordered.
Of course the Union Class was at the rear of the fleet away from most of the fighting well the Mexican class managed to do an landing to allow the ground troops off from being taken with the water. With the fleet in danger of being destroyed at least the submarines can escape in time, they will simply use the fleet as a shield so word could get back to North American Pacific HQ. As the ships continued to fall soon a large mobile suit fired its beams hit the bridge directly taking the Admiral with it.

Yumi
"R..oger..", Yumi managed to say surprised that the Qing had such a unit with such power.
With her unit began moving towards the north, she wondered what was going on. Was Tokyo lost? Was it all for nothing? She felt she had to destroy something with the Qing having no care for the civilians. Still it angered her James told her to pull back which she wanted to join with him in the defense.
During all this Nobusuke and the others were also shocked but something eerily felt off. The way the order was given and something else was on Nobusuke's mind, the attack earlier when they used fire. They wouldn't use that in desperation would they? Is Commander Typhoon that desperate of a man?
____________________________________________________________
The Experiments
"HAHAHAHA Their done!! Alright brother lets target the nex-.... GAHH!!!", Ex 048 soon shouted in pain as the mental attack from James hit them hard.
"THIS IS... INSECTS!! INSECTS!! INSECTS!!", Ex 047 soon shouted.
It would seem the two twins were beginning to lose it and would appear going berserk. Soon the Apsalus III would activate its weapon once more this time aiming for the group where James' force would be though the mental attack confused them a bit the sheer insanity within them made them simply fire towards the direction of where it was coming from. It may miss or may not but it would be a bad idea to stay with the giant mobile armor going berserk.

Several of the AA trucks move out of hiding to shoot at the fighters when they come in to start bombing the city, trying to take out them or their munitions that they were dropping. It became apparent very quickly these weren't high explosive bombs, or even conventional incendiaries, as they burst in the air or hit the ground and ignited in terribly hot flame that stuck to and consumed just about everything. The capital city became a firestorm in seconds, made worse by the fleet of hoverships starting to shell it as well, leveling everything that managed to escape the inferno. The death toll, for the military and civilians alike, was both catastrophically high. What units were on the outside were killed quickly, with the ones near firing ports and windows following next. Only the ones deepest in the underground tunnels, or the fastest ones in getting down there, managed to survive the conflagration that was engulfing the metropolis yard by yard. The command staff, safely deep underground, bailed out as soon as it became apparent what was going down. Everyone else piled into sewer maintenance cars, metro trains, and anything else available to flee the city through the stone labyrinths below the burning husk over their heads.
Suffice to say, not many got out. Most of those who did were survivors from the border towns who knew full well what was coming and beat feet while their comrades stood in shock. Most of the machinery that survived had to be left behind, with few freight cars down there to use. It was a disastrous blow to the Union. While Qing took losses, they could ultimately be replaced. But it would take time that the reeling nation could use to rebuild, though, that would now need to be done without their capital city.

[West Tokyo]
The Crimson Storm don't pay much attention to the burning capital of PU, not much attention to the screams of death from the flames of hell, and certainly not much attention to the few survivors from the battle. After all, they did nuke a capital city before, what differences will it make if they do it again? Not to mention that it's pretty much what any qualified commander would have chosen to do under the same situation, there are just not enough units, not enough time, and not enough allies with brains to perform any other options. The other only choice is to surround Tokyo for several months and starve them out, but surely the Qing will send a large army to reinforce Japan, which will make that option impossible. So the remaining choice is to win the battle and ignore the loss, it will finish off most if not all the Qing units in Japan, making any other future battles as simple as taking candy from a baby. Not only that, it will make an example of all other cowardly commanders from using foolish tactics such as using civilians as shields, and also it would scare them from hiding in fortifications. Burning the city down might seem a bit inhumane, but it is no different from how other nations shell down populated cities, or how the Ys State tear down their OWN cities in order to fight enemies.
You can attack them with morals, but you sure can't say they have done anything wrong in military strategy, at least it's one of the better ways to carry out this operation. If not, then the dead PU forces to the East of Tokyo would be the perfect example of what the Crimson Storm would be like after the battle.
But like how it's mentioned above, they're more concerned about the MA in midair, and the escaping NAU fleet. First lets take a look at how they deal with the MA.
The accuracy of the Apsalus III is quite low, considering that it's one of the slowest moving unit ever produced in the UC era, and that it requires it to expand it's "legs" for stability before it could fire it's main cannon. Mean while, the Crimson Storms are mostly made out of high speed, small size units, in other words they could easily move away before the Apsalus III could finish it's movements to attack them. More so when the pilots seem pretty unstable, even for early level Cyber NTs. At this level it's a wonder that anyone allow them to even get within 5 feet of any dangerous object. The units quickly return to the ships so they could move away from the MA, it gets easier when James noticed that the MA seems to be trying to turn towards him, so he simply move to lure the MA away while the rest of the fleet heads North. The beam is powerful of course, but like a certain ace pilot has said, it won't matter if it doesn't hit. The only thing that does get hit would be a Scopedog that gets knocked off balance by the beam, and explodes as it trips on the floor.
The Perfect Zeong notices that the MA is moving closer, so it aims, and fire all of it's beam weapons at the large, slow MA. The Crimson Storm had the specs of the Apsalus II from the Feldel rebels too, so it will be quite easy to find it's vital areas to shoot at, such as it's cockpit and reactors.

[Tokyo Sea]
As for the navy... well, it's not that easy to escape from the Crimson Raiders by sea either. The Forneus for one, travels at the same speed as the Texas Class, and being a lot more agile, this means the slower Union Class don't have much ways of breaking the chase. Glowing red eyes chases after the submarines, and fire their Oxygen Torpedoes at them. They have the advantage in speed, in numbers, and in firepower, and they're ready to finish their job.
Out of the forty seven Forneus that remains, seven of them stayed begin to attack the Mexican Class with torpedoes and claws, while the other forty splits into two groups to attack the submarines.
As for the Z'Gok, it charges towards one of the submarine at full speed. The Z'Gok is one of the fastest marine MS, moving at almost four times as fast as the Union class, it quickly catches up and fires waves of 240mm missiles at it, then punch it's claws at the submarine's hull.

The Apsalus III would soon go down as the Perfect Zeong's own weapons hit on the mark bringing the Mobile Armor down where it stood.
Meanwhile the Mexican Class already had landed on the shore when it dropped of its forces. The claw attack would then force the forces on land as most of the ship was built to land troops like a ship of old to land on shore lines. Torpedos would do hardly any damage as they would soon enter shallow water and the claw attack would force the unit go on land to attack it. The NAU were ready with the remaining Panthera taking defensive positions near the ship in the shallow water. With the seven enemy units moving in they soon fired with their machine guns and cannon fire from the heavy arms type to bring them down.
Both Union ships soon exploded in the ocean unable to escape.

[Tokyo Sea]
A few of the Forneus that for some reason would went on land in order to attack their enemies got destroyed by enemy attacks. Generally they'd just change targets, but some of them were eager for success in battle, which ended up leading to their death.
But playtime is over, now that the MA is finished, all the efforts can now be focused on dealing with the remaining forces. The West Tokyo Attack Force slowly approaches from behind the enemies as they focus on shooting at the sea, and what they did was quite simple. The fleet simply just shell the enemy units that have gathered around to shoot at the few units that got out of the water, with the number and terrain differences, they would have needed to focus their formations in order to attack at the few Forneus. This means that a bombardment could be focused on their location, doing more devastating damage in comparison to a regular, spread out forces. Just to make sure that the enemies are truly crushed, the Hades fire yet another wave of Super Napalms along with their attacks, so that they could get along with the next step of their plan.
The Forneus that were nearby quickly zooms away from the water, their stealthy design should make it unclear if they are still in the area or not, allowing them to remain as a decoy to the remaining enemy forces.

With the napalm attack came due sheer amount of land between where the troops and the mobile suits were would take a long time to actually land. Still the attack was devastating but during the chaos a small amount of soldiers managed to escape with their lives. They soon all scattered and away from the fire in hopes to hide.

Seeing how any few survivors wouldn't have been able to head back to the NAU or PU areas before they do, the Crimson Storm ignores them and retreats after quickly retrieving their units.
-
[Sendai]
"....But ultimately, the Qing forces in Japan have been exterminated, and any future battles would sure to be victorious without any resistance."
Staying on his ship, James tells Akimoto about the results of the battle of Tokyo. It might not be a result that the PU might like, but a victory is a victory, and all the Qing forces in Japan are wiped out it'll be a walk in the park to retake the rest of Japan. Anyone with a fair amount of strategic ability and experience would be able to see the advantage in this, but James would rather not explain to all the brainless fools of the reason behind all this, so he decides to stay right on his comfortable seat in his ship.
"Our contract ends here, I would like to receive the rest of the payment of 50000, and another 30000 for the captured. It'll be a total of 80000, and any further assistance will require another contract being signed."
But his job is considered finish for now, they were only suppose to help the PU until the battle of Tokyo is completed. They did fail to RETAKE Tokyo, but the contract involving the payment does not include any other conditions for their assistance, so James are still going to ask for the rest of the payment without even a sight of guilt in his eyes for destroying Tokyo.

Commander Akimoto looked a bit strained, when he heard what occurred and the way the man acted in front of him told him many things. Not to mention the loss of Tokyo itself was the biggest blow. Though the "freeing japan" from the Qing forces it was only would be a matter of time before another Dragon would come which the VIIth Dragon have failed.
"I see you have done what the contract specify. The freeing Japan from the empire. You have done much for this nation and yet...", Akimoto paused at the screen with his face looking like he lacked sleep.
"Yet you allowed Tokyo a sacred city that is very important to our people to be utterly destroyed. Once more you allowed most of what little strength of us left to be destroyed in the process thus weakening our forces into nothingness. As well, from I hear you allowed the North American Union forces to be destroyed as well. What kind of victory is this? Yet you also demand more from not the original agreement!!", Akimoto soon replied.
His question was strong, and everything was falling to the seems. How far would the Crimson Storm would go? He was foolish to hire these men, these men who hold no honor but cash but worse they simply what what they wanted.

James tilt his head for a moment, as if he's confused at what Akimoto just told him, then sits up and looks back at the stressed out commander of the PU Forces.
"Well then, lets take it step by step. Lets start with the PU forces, perhaps you would like a direct report on the outcome of the battle. I certainly did not just 'allowed' them to be destroyed, if I were the one to get them killed then they would have died to create an advantage for the playing field, and this is not the case. The only reason why the PU forces got destroyed is because they failed to follow orders, instead of fighting with their best like they should have, they simply stayed behind and attacks with little effort. Just look at the kill count and result of both the battle of Saitama and during the battle of Tokyo, can you really look me in the eye and tell me that what you sent me is the best you have? They were attacking using a defensive formation, you want to tell me that's 'fighting aggressively'? I certainly don't think so."
After he's done talking about the PU, next it's time for the NAU forces that were suppose to be in Tokyo to "assist" their attack.
"Let me tell you quite clear on what exactly the NAU navy did during the entire time our forces fought in Tokyo, at least the PU forces helped attack the Saitama outpost, these guys didn't do anything at all. First they attempted to disarm enemy naval mines, and failed, taking some light damage. Next they seems to have gotten really scared, and stayed extremely far away from Tokyo Bay. The naval forces under the command of NAU haven't even taken a single within the borders of Tokyo, with the exception of the mobile units, which considers of TWO JMS on the PU side, and 60 of mobile pods on the EALF side. Even the Qing navy were of a smaller size and still fought with more vigor than these cowards. I can firmly say that they did worse than the Italians and French during the great wars in the far past, seriously you can't blame me for their loss."
If there's any bit of honor you might see within pirate bands, it would be trust, quite an important aspect. But trust is only earned, and is not worthy to those that only see them as tools instead of partners of a contract, such is the case here. No matter what it is that PU and NAU might be planning behind their back, he expects them at least do their part in the battle, and they completely failed at that. Not only that, the most damage suffered during the naval battle was the EALF's mobile pods, really Akimoto don't get to say anything about that.
"I'm here to ASSIST your units battle, not fight them all on my own, or else I could just claim the land as my own. But if your forces themselves aren't even trying, then you cannot blame me for any problem that happens during battle. Let me tell you what happen in Tokyo, the Qing used the civilians of Tokyo as meat shield and attack without mercy, as a result, the PU forces were destroyed as they just stood there and took the hits. If you have even one bit of knowledge about the battlefield then you would have know that there are no other choices but to attack, the other choice would result in the Qing defeating our forces, and completely wiping out PU, and then next the NAU. You don't think your forces, or that pathetic NAU navy could stand a chance against the Qing do you?"
He got up from his chair, and look down towards the PU commander. It's not just a simple facial expression, but this is a look from one of the most powerful man in the world, and he's not tied down by any weights either. To him, Akimoto is just a whining child that wanted to have the perfect result, and those rarely if ever happens.
"Cities can be razed, civilians are precious but they can't do anything for you in a short amount of time, what you need is military force. And only by carrying out these ploys would you be able to maintain it, that's what strategy is aren't it? "How to defeat the most enemies, while suffering the least damage." If you could think of any other way to take Tokyo without causing any civilian casualties, enlighten me, I'll be glad to hear your teachings."
He still speaks the same way, one that is talking to subordinates or those of lower position, which pretty much shows how he's treating the relationship between PU and the Crimson Storm after the contract is over. They no longer have any obligation to each other except for the final payment.
"If not then I would prefer if we continue with the deal. The price is exactly the same as we agreed on, the extra 30000 is from the captured units, that you have agreed to purchase from us on credit. If you don't remember it too well then it's likely because you were dancing and yelling in joy after we took Aomori, and again when we take Sendai. You wouldn't, happen to refuse the payment would you? Perhaps you have some hidden super robot stored under your office like in old Japanese animes? Or perhaps you are Superman in disguise? If not then let me remind you that almost the entire Japan is cleared of military forces, with the exception of my fleet. I don't think you would want to cause any problems to our relationship, would you?"
Any wrong move or unpleasant answer could result in the rest of PU burning here just like Tokyo, and NAU might be the next to go down. It's not something James would want right now, but he does want his rightful payment for his job.

It was purely a threat to Akimoto as James said all he said, it was true he was just using James but even so there was one thing he did do wrong.
"If I was in your shoes instead of going with the same plan I would of pulled your main force towards the south, where the coast was. There was less defensive structures in that area as well it would of allowed you to attack the navy near Tokyo to prevent them from hammering on the ocean. During that time the naval forces could of moved without risk, due to it would of been a massacre if they continued into the minefield still under fire. In doing so it would of allowed the other forces begin their own assault to enter through to the city. Though on my part I forgot to inform you of the large underwater sewer system that could allow entire large portion of the forces to hide. That is on my own fault, though it seemed they were cowards, the naval forces were playing it safe and conservatively. Both the NAU and Pacific Union required enough forces to fight off the Vth and XIth Dragon's fleets which could move at any time against Okinawa.", Akimoto informed on his own strategy if he was there.
As for the threat itself Akimoto gritted his teeth, James Wong was threatening to hold all of Japan hostage which he knew. There was no other way if he refused... it would be the end, if he accepted regardless frankly speaking Pacific Union was done for as is. Even if they managed to take out the entire VIIth Imperial Army and Navy the other Dragons would come again and with such a force what remains stood no chance. The only hope was to pull back possibly against his own wishes, being put under special administration zone under the North American Union. A Puppet government under a foreigner.
"And if I reply no? What then would you do?", Akimoto asked wanting to know what James had in mind before giving his answer.

He did get to hear what Akimoto planned, and it sure doesn't seem like a working one. On paper it might sound good, but not in the situation that formed the Battle of Tokyo, it was just too difficult and not worth it to carry out a normal assault.
"Allow the naval force to enter the city? With what? Let me tell you how many forces were reported at Tokyo Bay, close to 1/3 of their forces are stationed there ready to turn that tin pot navy to scrap. If you want to do it the whole justice like way, then you won't be able to use the cannons or missiles on those ships either, not that they'll be helpful in this situation. Not to mention that giant MA in the air that can pretty much tear the navy fleet in half with single shot, and the large amount of mobile units waiting within the city. Even if the ENTIRE army enters the city it'll be an extremely long drawn out battle which would very, very likely to result in the deaths of most if not all the civilians. I should know, I've fight in Feldel and the Ys Capital, both battles resulting in close or more than 90% casualty to the civilians in the city. That number would further increase in Tokyo's case, at least for the other two battles they have some sort of protection, for Tokyo they ARE the protection, for the Qing soldiers however."
There quite a lot of flaws in the plan that Akimoto suggested, it's just too difficult to land their units if they don't attack in all different directions of Tokyo in order to spread out the enemy units. And at most the EALF can only take two directions with their numbers, the PU force shown with their lives on how much of a failure their operation ended up, and the NAU navy weren't even willing to risk damage to support the land units like any navy ships should have been doing.
"So the only result from your 'genius' of a plan is that not only will everyone in Tokyo still die from the battle, but an incredible amount of damage would be done to the available military forces, stopping any possible chance of continuing this resistance against Qing. If you're not willing to pay the high price, you would not be able to gain any rewarding result."
As for the reply that Akimoto wanted, it's quite simple now aren't it? Anyone that has heard his name would know the answer.
"Well then, I'll just have to receive the payment from another source... if PU can't deliver the payment, I'm quite sure NAU can. If in the case they're not willing or unable to then, I might have to convince them by taking it off their burning cities. Don't think I couldn't guess what PU is planning, Akimoto. NAU can't and won't be your savior, they won't be able to help you in the future, and they won't be able to help you now if you decide to join the spirits in Tokyo."
Completing the payment is the only choice of survival, if you owe even a single penny to the Crimson Storm, they would strip you down of any valuable materials down to the last piece of hair on your skin.
"Now lets hear your final answer, yes, or no? If you don't want to make the decision that would determine the fate of three nations, then send someone over to pass the message... Lieutenant Murakami would be fine."
He cuts off the transmission to give Akimoto a bit of time to think, but the fleet is ready to unleash their wrath without question, if any signs of hostile movements are detected.

When the transmission soon finished Akimoto soon pounded his fist on his chair.
"Damn him... he only took the fucking easy way out to keep his own forces safer. I know what the NAU and the Empire would do... to keep a free Pacific Union from the likes of them!! Damn them all damn you James Wong!!", Akimoto soon said with anger.
"Sir what should we do? If the President hears or even anyone else.", Captain Junnosuke Higuchi soon asked.
"We cannot do much now, with our war chest fully strained it would be a miracle if we can rebuild with almost no money if we give it to him.", Akimoto soon said.
"Then what sir he is threatening to destroy us!! I warned you never to use the lacks of that kind of man they simply only see money and their own self interest then anything!! More likely he lied about Tokyo too for all we know!! Sir we cannot give in to him!!", the Captain soon reasoned.
"I know I must find a way to get out of this..", Akimoto soon said.
"My my what a bore you people are.", another voice said which both men turned to another who entered the room.
On him the same grey mask and hood could be seen. It would of course the Pale Angel which made both men stop in their tracks.
"You!! You liar!! You promised us we would be victorious!!", Captain Higuchi soon yelled taking out his katana and charged at the man before him.
Suddenly the hood man simply stopped the man overpowering him. One could note a power armor underneath his robes as he threw the man to the wall.
"You..!!", Akimoto managed to say as the Pale Angel walked up to Akimoto picking him up by the neck.
"I did you gain a victory but also you should of seen this coming. Regardless now is no hope for your nation unless...", the Pale Angel said with a smirk.
"Unless what?", Akimoto soon managed to say.
"I will tell you but only when you agree to that man's terms.", the Pale Angel soon said with a laugh.
Some time later
Yumi soon managed to walk towards where the Crimson Storm. In her head she wasn't sure what to think. Part of her was glad they survived but at the same time mad. So mad she would will the man before her. Unable to think properly she has been given orders to give the reply. Before she exited out of the building to head to the Crimson Storm someone before her was standing.
"You know Yumi, I don't trust that man.", Nobusuke soon managed to say before her.
"He managed to what he could for us. He saved our nation from completely being wiped out isn't that enough?", Yumi managed to plead.
"Not when he allowed our sacred city to be destroyed the way it did. Yumi that man has an ulterior motive, the way he talks and acts... its... its wrong Yumi!! Don't you see your just falling into another trap!!", Nobusuke managed to say walking up to her.
"All of us from the team are worried sick you haven't been acting the same. You been completely believing in that man's lies!! Right now you also show the eyes what I fear the most Yumi!!", Nobusuke soon added.
"He isn't lying!! How could you know anything!! That man Commander Typhoon is not wrong!!!", Yumi soon shouted back.
"He is lying he is hiding something Yumi!! I don't want you to go if you do I am afraid I will lose you!! Because... Because... I LOVE YOU YUMI!! I Loved you since we were little!! Don't go Yumi just have me or someone else go to deliver the message!!", Nobusuke managed to reply as he confessed putting his hands on her shoulders.
"Don't... DON'T TOUCH ME!! GET AWAY FROM ME I DON'T WISH TO SEE YOU AGAIN NOBUSUKE!! YOUR LYING HE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS!! IF YOU GET IN MY WAY I WILL KILL YOU!!", Yumi soon threatened which stunned Nobusuke.
Unable to move she simply walked out of the building leaving the man at the entrance.
"Damn it... Damn it... DAMNIT!!", Nobusuke soon said to him self as some tears began to show up.
Soon Yumi moved herself towards the Crimson Storm not believing a word what Nobusuke said. She felt guilty but at the same time he wasn't understanding. She soon entered the ship James Wong would be on which she soon came to the bridge. There she gave a suit case which held the 80,000 that they owed soon saying, "This is your payment in recompense of your actions in battle. With this the contract has ended."
Soon after that Yumi then replies, "As well it is which I will request yo join your crew."

The case of money is taken and counted, made sure that no tricks are on the box or the cash, then is taken inside the ship by James' guards. But James raises an eyebrow at Yumi's suggestion.
"Hm...? But you're a princess of PU, why would you abandon your position to join an infamous pirate band like our own? PU might get controlled by NAU, but at least the nation is still around, it'll probably be more comfortable than traveling with us."
He shrugs and then looks at her in the eyes, and makes a V-Sign with his fingers to count two things for her.
"I suppose I don't have a reason to refuse... there are little rules here in the Crimson Storm, but I demand two rules to be followed without questions. One, none of you are to purposely attack any other one of us in any way, unless I allow it. Two, my orders are the law, follow it over the laws of nature. If I tell you that pigs can fly, I better see one in the air, have I made myself clear? If so then, take my hand, and accept this contract with me. As long as you're with me, victory and glory will be ensured."
He reaches out not like a handshake, but instead he simply holds out his palm. Pointing towards Yumi, it looks like he's trying to pull others up from a cliff, but it may very well be a contract with the devil in exchange for a new life.

"It doesn't matter... just take me with you.", Yumi managed to reply which she soon took James hand.
Though it would be hard NOT to kill someone it would push her to her limits per say.
With Nobusuke
"Damn it!! Damn it! Damn it!!", Nobusuke managed to say as he walked by himself towards the team room.
"How could I let this happen!! Typhoon!!", Nobusuke soon said as he was turning to head back only to be stopped.
"Well... that is interesting anger you got there.", a voice soon said as a corner which Nobusuke soon stopped to turn his head.
Before him was a man with a grey mask and hood, he could see his mouth which soon smiled.
"Who are you?!", Nobusuke soon demanded.
"My... a man who will tell you now to for now hold his sword. You can call me the Pale Angel and I represent a 'group' who sees a lot of potential. I have a proposition for you and you may not refuse it.", Pale Angel soon replied.
Without know two people would make deals with the devils... devils which would begin events in the future that cannot be stopped.
