Chapter 9 - First Fault

I was the captain of my submarine. That means I was given the responsibility to maintain the submarine with my crew and when given orders, execute the order with a proper plan. When the war wasn't like a world war; Only 12 nations were a part of that war. This 12 nations fought with only one nation individually, meaning this war was a collection of 6 wars between two nations.

The nations had their own reason to declare war on the opposite side. My country, Eukrya the nation of welth was attacked over and over again by terorists.

This terorists were all from one country, Teratra the nation of ocean.

Teratra was the only country secluded from the other countries by the ocean Etrata, it was the shallowest ocean and it's width was so small many considered it a river.

When I got the order to deploy the nuclear missiles, I was furious at that country, even thinking about it now, boils my blood.

The order stated "Surpress the attack of Etrata in any cost, destroy the country if necessary. You should make them fear our country, use the greatest weapon/weapons if necessary."

When I got the order I knew what I was going to do. I planed on destroying the whole country at one shot.

4 nuclear bombs at 4 locations would have destroyed the city. Loading the missiles took three days because of the enemy attacks.

Those who attacked us were to destroy the bomb itself, thus they were at an suicide mission. They would have died along with us if they succeeded on their mission.

But with the great crew, I was able to deploy the missiles successfully, after that there was no way to stop those from impact.

It was the biggest mistake I had ever done. Only 16 nuclear bombs were deployed, of which two were deployed by Serotro, the nation of power, 4 were deployed by my country Eukrya and the other countries deployed one each.

All of the bombs or missiles hit the earth in a week.

We got the footage of the surface after the war which was named 'The last bombardment' or simply the nuclear war by television.

The surface was no longer the earth we knew, even though it only had been a day after the last impact. The decay had already started.

In within a hundred miles radius of the epicenter of the explosions there was only molten rocks left. The nuclear explosion had caused many nuclear power plants to explode, many of which were hidden deep underground.

The nuclear radiation had already caused many animals and humans to mutate. Anyone who saw the first mutants were either dead or scared for life. I couldn't explain how the situation was at the surface. If there would have been only eleven more explosions the surface wouldn't even had survivors.

All this made me think I'm the reason of all this. If only I had controlled my anger and used less force, the world wouldn't had been like this.

I couldn't sleep for many days. I was just thinking about what I had done. I would had gone made if only they weren't with me.

My crew was divided in terms of there thinking. All of them knew everything about me. They knew, while I'm alive they can never be the captain.

many of them thought of me as an idol, it was not only because of my skills but because of my past. They told me once "If we went through half of what you endured we would had been dead by now."

They were the one who helped me when I needed help the most. When I was struck with the guilt, which took my sleep away, they inspired me to live on, to stay by their side.

They told me "If you are to die or live us, we very well also be dead." Without there help I would have died or killed myself long ago.

On the other hand there were many who despised me. They all were from a family of great soldiers. They thought they were the greatest and an infant who didn't had a respectable parent like me was no where near there ability. From the beginning they wanted to get rid of me.

After three years they had the perfect opportunity. The food was limited and the crew was starving. They planed a perfect plan to get me out of there way.

They proposed to throw some crew members out of the submarine. I immediately declined immediately, but they knew this will make me let my guard down.

I didn't wanted to see them who helped me die so, even though I knew that wasn't my bottle I didn't cared. What after that?

We all know the answer.

I was standing on a dark corner of the hall. I didn't even realised when I got there.

I put aside my thoughts and started thinking about the game.

This takes me back to some of my few happy times with my sister.

With a smile I really started looking for her, looking for angel.

With a little bright smile on my face I opened the door for the garage and shouted cheerfully "Are you hear?"

No sound or reaction came from that dark room.

I turned the lights on and looked at every corner she could possibly reach.

Afterwards I went through the stairs to the second floor. There was no way one can hide here, it was too open to hide here.

I went towards the dark hall before the computer room.

As I entered the dark hall I shouted again "Are you here?"

No reaction again. I still looked everywhere. I even checked the lockers though they were filled with wires.

I went back to the garage, but this time I heard a little sound and the lights were of. I thought I didn't turned the light off before leaving.

I looked everywhere cautiously as I walked slowly towards the electric board to turn the lights on.

After a moment I saw something moving at the corner of my eye sight, but when I looked that way there was nothing.

As I was going to turn the lights on something rushed towards me.

'What could this 'something' be?'
