The critcism of the three who posted earlier is warranted, I'll admit that since I expected such criticism before posting it but posted it anyway.
But then again maybe it was just a virtual stress simulation that Keitaro underwent to prepare him for such possibilities where smart evil overlords either subtly corrupt or misguide magical girls into doing acts that will turn people against them while he/she laughs in the shadows.
Hehe,never underestimate retcon.
Now back to reading Grunts by Mary Gentle.

I dont know... the "problem" I guess that pops up with mixing Love Hina (love comedy) and MGS(serious, war is bad, life is hell) is that... well...
For the darker world of Love Ronin.
Teehee.
:mellow:
But seriously Andrew: Hows that next chapter/snippet/thingy coming? Trouble?
Edit: oh OH! Keitaro with "enhanced interrogation techniques"
Nah... too dark.
For every happy ending, every handshake sealing a new peace treaty... there's a knife in the back. A bullet in a skull. Magic didnt change that. It only brought new ways to do the same old things.
And with new ways come old enemies. The boogeymen that we lived in fear of as cavemen and villagers. When our greatest technological advancement was fire and rock. The things that go bump in the night.... they did so much more then.
But humans are if anything resilient and we thrived. Spread across the world. Through the Ice and Snow of the far Arctic. Through Jungles of China and her neighbors. Even to the Land down under. A mystery for quite some time...
But we brought our fears and boogeymen with us. At least until we turned on the light of science. As the years and generations grew our foes and fears retreated. We didnt know why... but eventually the real threat of vampires, werewolves, tricksters, and demons... faded away into the ether they came from.
And now they're back.
And we have no defenses. What were once instructions to ward oneself from the dangers of the night have become muddied and distorted.
And so we were formed.
We have no nation.
We dont exist.
Something has to take care of the things that go bump in the night and those that make deals with them.
We are the Goddamn Batman.
We are the Fifth Element.
*B-weeee...*

Just take the time you need; and besides I think there are more who look forward to your other fic KTTH:FM than this one.
Thanks, tahu1809, didn't know there were other people besides me here who loved the best parts of that improfanfic where the main characters were hitmen specializing in killing magical girls.

A thought just popped up in my head a few minutes ago concerning military technology, in particular military lasers like the Tactical High-Energy Laser, Mobile Tactical High-Energy Laser and YAL-1 Airborne Laser. Have the US and Israel in this reality managed develop reliable and cost-efficient lasers for military and defence which can be mass-produced in high numbers?
THEL
Boeing YAL-1
Advanced Tactical Laser
High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System
Skyguard (airport defense system)
ZEUS-HLONS (HMMWV Laser Ordnance Neutralization System)

Hmm... I was monitoring this topic for a while; there were interesting parts, and there were parts that confused the hell out of me. But all in all, a good thread. Now I have a bit of two cents to add... If a bit silly

The world is entering it's third war, more than half a century than it's last. New elements are in play, such as the mahou gear and the creation of magical girls. There seems to be deception and espionage eveyrwhere, and not nearly enough people to handle it all. Due to this, many countries have created programs for voluntary citizens to enlist in. This program does not simulate the inner mehanics of mahou gear, nor footage of magical girls; this program is a school.
A school for new technology. This technology is anti-Mage and is currently in the workings to be anti-mahou gear and anti-mahou in general. They are contracts, similar to the magical girl, but are at down-played costs. There are definitely demons, but the contracts also allow to borrow and bend their powers. Due to their small stature, they are compsctable and can be carried around.
The school for technology of compactable anti-mahou. Otherwise known as Duel Academy.

Rather unimportant, but I thought it would be interesting; I play the game at my school and it never ceases to interest me how the game is like two armies fitting each other. Basically, civilians can help out if they learn how to be summoners, but not mages. The cards are similar to the current Yugioh franchise, but the pictures serve a purpose; the backside is the portal through which the summons can come out. The art is a portal to the world, and they borrow the powers of whoever is on the card. Spells and traps have demos of the action played out.
I don't know if characters from the anime can show, but they could. Speaking of which, the duel runners could be possible civilian mechs...

You SAID it should be a little more light hearted. And it was that, or motorcucles that can summon monsters and the like.

Dragon ball faced multitudes of villains and the like and was mostly comedic.
"We've got a new job, boys. Mike-Golfs have taken some terrorist actions in Venezuela. Shit has hit the fan and the feds don't want to get involved, so they hired us. We have to take care of it relatively quietly and with haste. However, while they have magic and shit, we have have a 41.5 metric ton sized mass of fuck you."
---------
Captain Konrad watched as the tanks were lifted from their transport ship by crane. It would really suck if someone dropped it. Thankfully, Venezuela had a fairly well developed road network that the tanks could use. In all, the T-72 was a first rate battle tank with a few issues with ammo storage and crew comfort provided that you were using a genuine T-72 with decent ammo. it could then withstand just about any impact with Kontakt-5 reactive armor tiles, and it could wreck just about any tank with decent ammo. It was a shame that the Iraqis had given the tank such a bad reputation. Not only had they been using horribly maintained monkey models, but they were using training ammo at half or even quarter loads of propellant. There is a reason why the Arabs and Persians are regarded as the worst tankers in the world bar none. However, they were using genuine Russian T-72s with the good ammo.
---------
They had discovered the location of the magical girls' hideout. It was a fairly sprawling complex surrounded by greenery. Of course, this greenery was destroyed as the facility was pounded with 120mm mortar and 105mm howitzer fire.
Infantry advanced through knee high grass and blasted craters as tanks tore up the ground in front of them. Their three Hinds hovered in the air, ready to provide close-air-support with guns and missiles. Eight magical girls flew up to attack the choppers. They responded with opening fire with their flexibly mounted heavy machine guns. A stream of tracers flew through the air.
"Mayday! We've got Mike-Golfs mixing it up in the air over here. Can we get some AA support?"
"No, you're to close and blue on blue is way too likely. Take 'em out yourself."
"Aye, sir"
The magical girls had great difficulty approaching the fields of defensive fire that the Hinds could put up with a combination of its nose mounted gatling gun and two door guns. Some were even able to pull barrel rolls to dodge the magical attacks with suprising agility for their bulk. Those barrel rolls had to be hell on the door gunners.
Captain Konrad turned his attention from the aerial battle and back to the ground battle. Their T-72s blew massive holes in the outer walls of the complex. The explosions were nothing like what you saw in movies, just a blast of light and sound followed by a billowing cloud of dust and debris kicked up by the explosion. The tank commanders unbuttoned from their vehicles to put up some AA fire up at the the Mike-Golfs with their pintle NSV 12.7x108mm heavy machine guns. The 12.7mm Russian was something that would put you down if it hit.
"Go! Go! Go!" yelled Konrad as he began running with his troops to the breach their tanks had made. The tanks parked and began to shred the Mike-Golf position with coaxial machine gun fire. No sense in making it easy for them to fire back. One magical girl popped up to fire a spell at one their tanks. It simply blew out a tile of Kontakt-5. The response was with a 125mm round from the tank. She should have known better than to go up against a tank.
"En nombre del amor por mi paÝs de Venezuela. Bosque interruptor!"
A bright green beam of magical energy struck one of the tanks, blew through the Kontakt-5, the turret armor, and hit the ammo storage. The rounds cooked off as the turret was blown sky high.
"Shoot that bitch!" yelled Konrad.
The magical girl's head exploded into pink mist as an Ishapore wielding marksman ventilated her head with a well placed bullet. The mercenaries resumed their charge into the breach. Konrad hurled a grenade, a Russian contact grenade into the breach. If any Mike-Golfs were in there, they wouldn't have any time to react to the grenade. The helicopters finished with the last aerial Mike-Golfs and began to fire rocket into small complex. Some other men were in there first.
"Clear!"
From the wrecked but still standing central building a few blasts of magic came. Some his men were blown to pieces by the attacks. Konrad dropped to a kneeling position as he opened fire on the building. Machine gunners saturated it with bursts of fire. It didn't matter if they were behind cover, the .30 caliber bullets would rip right through and maim and kill. A Hind popped a 57mm rocket into the wall silencing the Mike-Golf position with extreme prejudice.
The mercenaries then began to advance into the complex, supported by the ever vigilant eyes of tanks and choppers.

I've read about that, but it's also stated some places that it's quite risky due to the tail boom, or was it tail rotor, being damaged if they pilot isn't careful when attempting fancy stunts with a Hind, and that it takes real skill due to the Hind not being as evasive as other attack helicopter despite making up for it with it being fast.
