Chapter 3 - The Sacrifice

As soon as the alarm rings, Asaka immediately grabbed his M4A4 with a red dot. He then rushed out to meet up with the other.

"How's the time machine?! Is it done yet?" Asaka asked Ayase while panting as he arrived there.

"It's almost done! We just need to wait for the power to turn it on! Probably will take about 30 minutes!" Ayase replied as fear can be seen from her face.

"Chris, Kon, Sammie, How the f*ck did they know about this place?!" said Asaka, who was enraged and tired at the same time.

"We don't even know how they managed to found this place, but we are certain that someone tells the Federal about this." Said Chris.

"Don't worry, nii-san (Big Brother). Sammie and I have already set up some traps in the past few days!" Said Kon to Asaka with a proud expression.

All of a sudden, A familiar voice to Asaka was heard through the intercom.

"Hello, Hello, "The Foundation" You guys are so good at making a mess to the Federal, huh? And hello there, Asaka…It's been a long time, isn't it?"

Asaka suddenly realizes the voice from the intercom. He is General Gurt Heinz, the Federal Officer who killed both of Asaka's parents back in the day. He also has a reputation for successfully prevented several terrorist attacks to the Black Cross regiment.

Asaka still remembers what he said when he shot both of his parents:

"You're one lucky boy. Your parents died getting shot by me instead of getting eaten by my favorite dogs. You should be thankful I shot them to death. Otherwise, you will still be suffering until now, just like what my parents did to me…MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Kon looked at Asaka, who was looking depressed and scared, listening to the general's voice through the intercom. She became more worried about him. At first, she wants to cry, but she managed to hold back and tried to calm down. "This gonna be over soon..." she repeats the sentence in her mind.

"You know, I don't want to hurt you all, but terrorist is still a terrorist. So, we're gonna play a little game. Let's see who will win, your army….or my army…If I win, Your corpses will be given to my shepherd. But, If you win….I'm just….gonna send out more armies to you, until you run out of bullets! Have…fun….MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" General Heinz ended his speech with a laugh, as the Federal army began to rush in. Asaka and his squadmates try to hold them back as long as they can, until…

*Lights and Electric statics began to appear from the Time Machine*

"ASAKA! ASAKA! THE TIME MACHINE IS NOW WORKING, AND I ALREADY SET THE TIME TO 1942! WE ALL SHOULD GET GOING!" scream Ayase to Asaka as she ducks in the cover for protection from flying bullets.

"ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP! FRONT ROW, GET IN FIRST! THE REST, COVER FIRE! THEN, THE SECOND ROW WILL GO NEXT! CHRIS AND I WILL BE THE LAST! HURRY!!" shout Asaka to his squads.

The first defense row, which is Kon and Sammie went into the time machine while the others are covering fire for them. Then, Ayase went into the time machine, and finally, Asaka and Chris rushed into the time machine. But all of a sudden, Chris got shot straight into the chest and fell to the ground. Asaka, shocked with what just happened to Chris, went back to help Chris.

"Chris! Chris, wake up! Wake up! You promise that we will save the world together!!" scream Asaka as he tried his best to help him.

Chris, who was injured on the ground, turned his head to Asaka as he tries to endure the pain.

"I….I'm sorry, buddy. I'm…I'm sorry that I break our promise…" he muttered to him as he takes out a hand grenade.

"W-What are you doing?! No! You're coming with us! There is still time!!" shout Asaka as he helped him walk.

"T-There isn't…. And….I'm sorry, there's no other way…" Chris said as he pushed Asaka into the Time Machine. Asaka, who got pushed into the time machine by Chris, cannot believe what just happened. He tried to get out from the time machine to get him, but Kon and Sammie hold him in place.

"Ayase! Press the f*cking button now! I….I will hold them here…" shout Chris as he turned to the Federal armies with a hand grenade on his hand.

"CHRIS!! NOOOOOOO!!!" scream Asaka as Ayase pressed the button. He saw a glimpse of Chris holding a hand grenade and charges towards the Federal army before they got teleported away, back to the past.

"Heh, I wish…..I can tell how much of a brother are you to me….But….I guess.....I can't…..Thank you for everything..." said Chris in his mind as he charges towards the Federal army. As he gets nearby, the hand grenade explodes, destroying the facility and killing all of the Federal army and himself.

As the squad teleported back in time, Asaka opens the door and dropped down on the ground, punching it in rage as it hurts his own fist. Kon then rushed outside and hugged him from behind, trying to stop him from harming himself.

"Asaka! Stop it! It's too late! He….He's gone…" said Kon while sobbing

Ayase and Sammie can only watch from the time machine. Then, Ayase went outside and called the others.

"We….we did it….Chris holds them through until the last moment….until we teleported away….And that's why…..that's why we need to change the world! We won't make him die in vain! We will make this world peaceful again!" shout Ayase as she tried to improve their morale up.

She then went to Asaka to calm him down. "Asaka, he believes in us, especially you…I know he will be watching us from up there as we make the world peaceful….So please, calm down, and let's go…."

Asaka, who was in a rage, suddenly calmed down and began to cry and scream. His scream can be heard echoing through the plains…..
