Chapter I: Deja Vu
Part II

  On a C-130 supply plane bound for Tunisia from North Carolina, 10 ALA soldiers were onboard with pounds of food, water, and building materials. These planes were hard to find after the wars as most of them had been shot down over a once shadow-occupied United States. 
  They'd all heard the news in Europe and the United Kingdom about the Russian, French, American, British, and Canadian shadows, but didn't pay any mind to it. "All it is: just a bunch of fakers wanting some dumb post-war fame."
  Three-fourths of the way across the Atlantic Ocean, the radar picks up two signatures in front of him. The soldiers patiently walk to gunner positions around the plane as they felt it was no hurry to do it. High from the sky came two fighters flying right beside it. They were both Hawker Hurricanes, looking as the Mark I model, but in a monotonic color. Quickly after, more came in until the C-130 was surrounded by 12 Hawker Hurricanes. Afraid to fire upon them, the 10 backed off to the supplies where the unexpected escorted flight would land in Tunisia's Tunis.
  Soon after landing, the 12 fighters headed north.

  In India's New Delhi, construction was going steadily slow as the stock market had been down for quite some time. Nepalese and Bhutanese civilians had joined the work effort while Bangladeshi civilians and soldiers had been working the naval trade market. 
  In Old Delhi, workers reported seeing British and Indian Shadows at a shelter. Then, down at Faridabad, Indian shadows were reported seen again but with different equipment down the ones in Old Delhi. 
  Jaipur, Agra, Lucknow, and Kanpur saw the same; this time with British Hawker Hurricanes, Blenheims, Wellingtons, and Tempests circling around and attempting to land in smooth areas. 

  In Omaha, Nebraska, life was continuing on as the Great Plain city tried to cope with the massive population losses of the First Shadow War. From 400,000+ to a now growing 100,000+, it seemed well for once. Construction on I-29, I-80, and Route 75 paused as construction workers glanced and stared at the sight of M4A3s, T34 Calliopes, M4A3R3s, and M26 Pershings rolling past them each with American shadows coming not too far behind by foot and truck. At least 50 men and women each were on those 4 roads; all 200 saluted.

  In Yellowknife, Canada, help was well needed - even after 6 years. Most of the population was afraid of shadows after what happened in 2015. The families that evacuated behind the coalition forces had fond and vivid nightmares of the shellings. Even those it was such a long time ago, the Canadian people of Yellowknife still hold a tight grudge against the Shadow Army for what they did to their town and country. Their grudge was tested when Canadian, American, British, French, and Australian shadows showed up on the Yellowknife Highway with tanks and soldiers. They were more angry than afraid as the townspeople rallied up against them arriving, despite the soldiers being allies of Canada. Then the aircraft flew in. P-51 Mustangs, P-47 Thunderbolts, Spitfire Mk. Ic's, Hawker Hurricane Mk. Xa's, B-25 Mitchells, B-17G Flying Fortresses, Avro Lancasters, and Fairey Swordfishes. 
Afraid was the town of Yellowknife again, not knowing this was not the same threat that nearly destroyed them, and that this event was happening across the world: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
