Here We Go Again! (Fanfic)	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Here We Go 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 soon-to-be former Marine Corps tank gunner, Jasper "Four-Eyes" Kincaid, goes on one last overseas joint training exercise at Camp 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 main battle tank named, Here We Go Again.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })At the same time, a mysterious gate opens in the middle of the Ginza district in Tokyo, with it, an invading army of ancient warriors and fantasy creatures. The U.S Marines stationed in Camp Fuji respond 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 rest of the defending Japanese Self-Defence Forces, pushing back the otherworldly legions. In the aftermath of the Ginza Incident, the 3rd United States Marine Expeditionary Unit soon finds itself 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 by a former U.S 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 canon with the exception of the Americans being heroic allies instead of the original story depicting them as antagonistic; the only gripe Shmack has with the original author.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })As of December 17, 2018, Shmack has ultimately stopped working on HWGA due to burning out, though not without a final chapter that ties up loose ends.If you're looking for the trope Here We Go Again, click here.

The tank gets boarded and almost overrun, but the rest of the crew manage to fend off the attackers with the coaxial guns and various small arms. As revealed early on, Jasper Kincaid still has 'night terrors' stemming from PTSD acquired from a mission back in Afghanistan, where an IED roadside bomb blew his tank, killing one of his crewmates.

Benitez mishears it as an immediate command to stop and does so, giving the dragon time to close the distance. During the Battle of Itlaica, Myuute's magic causes radio communications to become jammed and ineffective. Thus, the group are not able to immediately call in for reinforcements to take down the attacking bandits.

Here We Go Again! (Fanfic) / int_1d9a2764	comment	Reality Ensues: Rory. She's shown as exactly how creepy and/or terrifying a demigoddess who looks like a little girl and gets "excited" at the thought of battle would be. At best, to the Tankers, she's an annoyance. To Emerson and several others, she's a major threat. The Hakone shootout in Chapter 22 is omitted. Why? Because the political shit storm that would occur between Russia, China, and America makes the whole thing stupid. Though Tank Goodness is certainly in effect, the author makes the effort to show that these awesome war machines are still, you know, machines requiring constant maintenance and logistics to function properly. Even if they are fighting an enemy without anti-tank weaponry, the tanks can still suffer from a Combat Breakdown, weapon jams, get stuck in the mud, or run out of ammunition during protracted battles. And, when operating without proper support like Here We Go Again does, there's always the very real possibility of being overrun by a massive enemy Zerg Rush, which almost happens to Cry Sum Moar and Here We Go Again during the siege of Italica.

Boyd chuckles and mentions that it's the fourth time that day that he's used that joke.

Four Horsemen, the platoon's name, signifies both the connection to Four Horsemen of the Apocalpyse, but it also shows lineage to the origin of armored warfare in the cavalry when it was strewn with horses before World War I made them obsolete.

Her abilities include being able to reduce the effect of explosives, somewhat block bullets, and even jam radio communication. The bandits during the Battle of Italica. In the original, the bandit count is probably around 500-600 at most. In the fic, they count at least 10,000, plus along with Myuute's upgrade as well as stated above. The author says this was to make the Battle of Italica not look like a total stomp, so he pitched in a little extra to the bandits for tension.

He cites legitimate concerns such as vehicle breakdowns/recovery, maintenance, refueling as well as the fact that tanks DO NOT recon, ever. Before the Battle of Italica, Itami suggests the tanks move up closer towards the skirmish line in order to cover that sector, without any infantry support. Granted, they were a recon force and thus didn't have the manpower to supplement the armour, but it was still a pretty risky move overall.

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

That being said, he's 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 brief mentions. Zorzal's death at his sister's hands in the final chapter means that his and Tyuule's schemes never happen in this version of the story.

(Fanfic) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out Various anime pieces are mentioned between Benitez and Kincaid in Chapter 1, such as Bakemonogatari, The Big O, Hellsing, Cowboy Bebop and Jormungand. Kincaid also mentions that "he'd die before turning a hot-ass fox girl down". The various pieces of music recommended by the author for certain scenes. For example, the song "Voodoo Child" by Stevie Ray Vaughn plays when the American and JSDF vehicles roll out from the Alnus compound in Chapter 12. To another Gate fanfic, ''Manifest Destiny'' by BlueWay. The main characters of that fic, Emerson and his company makes an alternate-universe appearance of themselves, where they are MARSOC operators instead of US Army Rangers. One of the tanks is named Cry Sum Moar. A few from another tank related media, Fury (2014). From music recommendations of the movie's OST, to the banter in Chapter 5. When the tanks bear down on Italica after Itami is seemingly attacked (by accident), Parker Elton yells "Surprise Motherfucker!" After above the misunderstanding is cleared, someone from Horsemen-4 quips, "You lose! Good day sir!". The crew take a moment goofing around the Clan Formal estate by recording a mock-narration an episode of MTV Cribs with their phone cameras. The first time they meet him, Benitez and Kincaid compare Lt. Yanagida to Frank Grimes. In Chapter 18, Agent Komakado reminds Kincaid of Spike Spiegel. In Chapter 22, Kincaid calls the special forces providing security "Snake Eaters". Although the nickname does actually predate the game, so it may be a coincidence. In Chapter 28 one of the tanker's mentions killing a wizard that "chucked the Bowser fireballs at the Sir's tank.", followed by another joking "You're a wizard 'Arry!" In the same chapter Team Pet Pollo the kyckling's resemblance to a chocobo is brought up more than once.

Here We Go Again! (Fanfic) / int_d40e1a9f	comment	Break Out the Museum Piece: Downplayed. When they deploy to the Special Region, the USMC forces re-equip themselves with Vietnam war-era Remington 870 shotguns and M72 LAW rocket launchers for taking out sword-wielding knights and Ogres, respectively. They also use 1980s-era Stinger Anti Air missiles that are positively lethal to flying dragons. Though these weapons are still in use by the Marines today, they just prove more economical to use rather than the heavier and costlier equipment like the Javelin anti-tank missile. The JSDF, just like in the original, bring out their Cold War-era equipment like the Type 64 rifle and Type 74 tanks. It's noted that the longer Type 64 is actually a poor choice when it comes to clearing a village house-by-house, unlike the M4 Carbines the Marines have started using instead of M16A2s.

Here We Go Again! (Fanfic) / int_e11b003d	comment	Translation Convention: Zig-zagged, but the results is worse than in the original. With the Americans involved, the story now has three languages to consider: English, Japanese, and the Special Region. It mitigated the barrier between English and Japanese by having the JSDF members able to speak English however, to which Lt. Aldritch finds out after his imperfect attempt at speaking Japanese. The JSDF and Marines' ability to speak the Special Area's language is mentioned to be due to language classes taken during the months before their deployment through the gate. Aurea learns fluent english after accidentally biting Jasper with her snake-hair, among other side-effects.

Here We Go Again! (Fanfic) / int_e1d50489	comment	While backing up from the flame dragon in Chapter 9, the tank encounters a Convenient Misfire and Wilkes tells the crew that the only way to fix it is to stop and begin unloading the main gun. Benitez mishears it as an immediate command to stop and does so, giving the dragon time to close the distance.

Charlie Company, 2nd Tanks holds a barbecue, with local game roasted on an open fire, with Itami's team, Rory, Tuka, and Lelei in attendance. Shino first defeats Wilkes in an arm-wrestling match, then engages the Marines in a dance-off.

The characters from that story (Emerson's Ranger platoon) are imported as MARSOC operators. On the other end, Kincaid and the rest of the Horsemen (well, 1985 versions of them) have appeared in The Boysof 85, which is written by a colleague of Shmack's.

Here We Go Again! (Fanfic) / int_eb81c601	comment	Big Damn Heroes: The tanks often provide this for the supporting characters, making this a case where the protagonists themselves perform most of the heroic moments. During the Ginza incident, the "Four Horsemen" arrive at the besieged US Embassy just as the Empire's forces storm through the gates. During RCT3's first encounter with the flame dragon, Itami's team intervenes just in time to save Here We Go Again from certain fiery death. As the eastern gate of Italica fell during the siege, Here We Go Again dramatically bursts through the gates, with Rory in tow. The SEALs and Japanese Special Forces inadvertently end up being this to a group of prostitutes in Akusho.

Here We Go Again! (Fanfic) / int_eb8e12d6	comment	The JSDF as a whole fall under this as well. Being constitutionally prohibited from deploying in any kind of combat or combat-related roles beyond Japanese soil (the Japanese government has declared the Special Region to be Japanese territory), they lack the institutional experience of their American allies. Even their veteran NCOs have never seen combat, nor served with anyone who has, as Sergeant Major Kurata points out.
