"You couldn't be whatever further from the truth..."

"So hither it is, all of it, everything from the starting time to the end. Whether or not y'all want to guess the states for who or what we are or what nosotros did is upwards to yous, I couldn't care less to exist honest. I did my part, I protected my brothers and we laid down the armies of tyrants."

Here We Go Once again by Shmack1812, is a Alternate Universe / Fix Fic of the web novel, Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There.

The plot takes place in late 2015 where shortly-to-exist quondam Marine Corps tank gunner, Jasper "Four-Eyes" Kincaid, goes on one last overseas joint preparation exercise at Campsite Fuji, Japan. He is joined by his crew, Parker "Honcho" Elton the tank commander, Darian "Rampage" Wilkes Jr. the tank loader and George "Little John" Benitez the tank driver. Together, they operate a M1A1 Abrams chief boxing tank named, Hither We Go Again.

At the same fourth dimension, a mysterious gate opens in the centre of the Ginza commune in Tokyo, with it, an invading ground forces of aboriginal warriors and fantasy creatures. The U.Due south Marines stationed in Campsite Fuji reply quickly to assist their long time allies and "The Four Horsemen" of Headquarters Platoon, Charlie Company, 2nd Tank Battalion are deployed into the war zone where they eventually team up with Itami and the residual of the defending Japanese Self-Defense force Forces, pushing back the otherworldly legions. In the aftermath of the Ginza Incident, the 3rd United States Marine Expeditionary Unit soon finds itself once once again at the tip of the spear of an invasion, but this time into the unknown world beyond the mysterious 'Gate'.

Here We Go Again is written past a former U.Due south Marine tank veteran who offers a re-imagining of the Gate story in the perspective of an unlikely military group: tank operators. Using his personal experiences and people he knew throughout his service, the story follows quite closely to catechism with the exception of the Americans beingness heroic allies instead of the original story depicting them every bit antagonistic; the only gripe Shmack has with the original author.

As of Dec 17, 2018, Shmack has ultimately stopped working on HWGA due to called-for out, though not without a final chapter that ties upwardly loose ends.

On January 24, 2021, Shmack has taken up to rewriting the story. It tin be read here.

So long as we breathe life we hereby swear that we volition protect you to the best of our abilities, no foe has bested us earlier and none will at present!

  • Affiliate xv. Bozes' introduction has Elton giving her such an intimidating threat that she and her knights actually stand down, fugitive Itami's canon scenario of being captured and tortured altogether. It helps when there's a tank scarred with dragon-sized hook marks and, also, literally completely covered in blood from the previous battle.

  • The marines are shown to be this way in comparison to the JSDF'south antics. Subsequently killing around 120,000 enemy combatants in the Battle of Alnus Hill, they act as if information technology was a daily routine.

• Brick Joke: In Affiliate 23 the Horsemen tease Benitez for his relationship with Mamina, a warrior bunny, noting that combining hispanic and rabbit "convenance habits" may singlehandedly repopulate her species.

  Kincaid: We're not trying to interruption a runway or blow the engine.
  Rory: Accident?
  Itami: Uh, aye, what he ways is the wagon will break!

• Motorcar Fu: Or rather Tank Fu, where the tanks very oft run over their enemies due to Zerg Rush tactics of an junior armed force.
  • Averted one time below in Heroic BSoD, where Benitez risks the squad when he hesitates to run over several enemy troops due to the sheer cruelty of it.
• Cargo Cult: Later on the Battle of Italica, the surviving townspeople literally bow down and worship the blood-splattered USMC tanks. The weary tankers manning them are not tickled, and the fact that Rory declares them her "Riders of Emroy" does non help.

• Breast of Medals: The impressive ribbon racks of Iraq/Afghanistan veteran Marines, especially in comparison to "boot" Marines who haven't deployed and the JSDF (who aren't allowed to deploy) are commented on whenever service or dress uniforms come up into play.

They are a bit confused equally to why his boss Lieutenant General Hazama doesn't take as many.
• Chick Magnet: Just like Itami in the original. Kincaid has become an interest to both Kurokawa and Aurea.

Later on they run out of bullets for the M240Cs and the .50 cal, they exit the vehicle and fight off the marauders with various small artillery and bits of hand-to-hand combat.
• Contrived Coincidence: The just reason Jasper and the Charlie Company tanks accept the limelight is due to a last-minute articulation exercise in Japan.
  • The tankers openly lampshade that they accept no business being effectually Itami's grouping, equally recon is a job a tank is non well suited for. Notwithstanding, they're stuck together (not that they mind the company) because the higher-ups want to encourage cooperation and call up that the groups work well together. This backfires when the tank breaks down in the middle of the fight with the Flame Dragon, resulting in others having to come to help get the tank working once more.
• Convenient Misfire: In Chapter ix, a bad shell prevents Hither We Go Again from finishing off the flame dragon. True to realism, the tank coiffure had to go through a long wearisome process to detect the cause of the jam before fixing it (doing otherwise risks having the Loftier-Explosive Anti-Tank round melt off in the breech, which would be very, very bad). By the fourth dimension they figured out what'southward wrong, its already too belatedly....

• Cool vs. Crawly: M1A1 Abrams Tank vs. The Flame Dragon!
  • F35s vs. The Flame Dragon!

  • On the other end, Kincaid and the residual of the Horsemen (well, 1985 versions of them) take appeared in The Boysof 85, which is written by a colleague of Shmack's.
• Cutting the Knot: The catechism scene where Bozes captures Itami is completely averted by the crew of Here We Go Again, pointing out that a) The tank they're riding on is still covered in blood from some of the ten g people they helped impale the dark before, b) the damage to the tank was from when they took on a Flame Dragon, and c) They have a tank.
• Deadpan Snarker: Pretty much nigh of the characters. Its an inherent trait of Marine Corps.
  • Surprisingly, Sgt. Kurokawa is given this trait as well in this fic.

  Kincaid: And there you lot become putting the fear of god into me.
  Kurokawa: Which i, yours or Emroy?
  Kincaid: The one that doesn't have psychotic apostles running around.
  Kurokawa: Practise the Crusades count?

• Death by Adaptation: Zorzal is killed by Pina when he attempts to impale her out of spite.

• Deconstructed Character Archetype: Rory. She'due south shown as exactly how creepy and/or terrifying a demigoddess who looks like a piddling girl and gets "excited" at the idea of battle would be.

• Demoted to Extra: Tuka receives little attention compared to the source fabric.
  • Itami plays a much reduced office from the one he does in catechism. That existence said, he'southward still there and it's implied that some of the events in canon are still happening with him offscreen.
  • Zorzal is a secondary antagonist at best, and Tyuule gets only a few cursory mentions. Zorzal'south death at his sister'south easily in the final chapter means that his and Tyuule'southward schemes never happen in this version of the story.
• Deuteragonist: Aside from Jasper and Itami, Lieutenant William Van Hauser has the nearly amount of page time for a non-tank Marine in the whole story thus far.

• Double Standard: Aldritch calls out Itami and his men for getting too close to the locals, even though his men (specifically Kincaid) are guilty of the same thing.
• The Dreaded: Rory becomes this to the tankers of 2nd Battalion when it becomes articulate she is enamoured with their death-dealing machines and their coiffure. So much, that Colonel Kane secretly assigns a MARSOC fireteam to assess her threat level and bargain with her if necessary, against the knowledge of the JSDF.

• Earn Your Happy Catastrophe: Kincaid retires from service and pursues college, while his friends and crewmates are off living their lives peacefully equally Japan and the USA reform the Saderan Empire.
• Easy Logistics: Averted. The crew of Here We Get Over again is balked at the thought of a tank being sent out for recon, due to the fact that one of the main reasons tanks go in platoons is to minimize breakdowns and encompass each other should one become disabled or pinned downwardly. Later on the fiasco with the flame dragon, command finally learns its lesson and deploys all 4 tanks WITH the M88 Recovery Vehicle for expert measure during the Italica mission, but even so insists afterwords that the coiffure of Here Nosotros Become Again would go along to deploy with Itami's team at the latter'south behest.
• Elites Are More Glamorous: Special forces become their fair bit of recognition in the story with Captain Recker (Navy SEALs) and Emerson (MARSOC). The JSDF SFG commandos are quite deadly as well.
  • Somewhat averted in passing regarding the tanks themselves- the United states tanks taken through the Gate are training tanks, which weren't supposed to come across combat. Front line tanks would have been more effective since they're ameliorate repaired and equipped, but the bespeak is basically moot.
• Ensign Newbie: Lt. Aldritch feels this way after seeing Kincaid's, Wilkes', and Elton'southward decorations, which outnumbers his own.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Bessara may exist a ruthless law-breaking lord who'south willing to betray anyone if he can turn a profit from information technology simply he truly loves his married woman and daughter and treats the staff at his estate well.

But this was something else. And, for the outset fourth dimension in his life, the gunner was starting to seriously reconsider his choice in hobbies.

• Evil vs. Evil: Zorzal reveals the real reason Italica was attacked by bandits was because they were paid off past the crown to conduct a scorched earth campaign, removing Italica (a major economic hub) from the potential influence of their enemies.

It was only because of the effective defense by Princess Pina and the combined United states of america/JSDF forces that this was thwarted.
