Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: Unnamed Soldier

Helicopters flying in the sky as I'm writing down something in my diary. Here I am, a soldier of the 4th Platoon. Our mission is to capture the enemy base. I'm still a rookie because I got deployed too early for combat. Nevertheless, I am trained enough to hold a rifle and a sword. But us rookies aren't ready to use a sword.

So it's just us being the riflemen in the battlefield. Luckily, we've got a General in our squad. He's from the High Ranking Officers in the Military. However, he's not in this helicopter. Merely, that he's in another transportation.

The area of the battlefield is us trying to capture a small town filled with enemies and their fortress.

"Alright men! Prepare to drop!" That's our cue to be ready for combat. I grab my rifle and all of us soldiers are getting ready to drop at the enemy base.

A nearby soldier suddenly pat my shoulders. I turn around to look at him. He's not wearing his helmet. We're suppose to wear them but not wearing it seems optional, in case if you wanna get shot.

"Good luck okay?" Said the soldier. I gave him a thumbs up.

"4th Platoon, get ready to descend!" Says one of the pilots. The helicopter doors are open and we all descend down to the battlefield. I land my feet down and suddenly a huge explosion appear above us.

The helicopter that was sending us to battle explodes. It fell right on top of us but luckily it didn't hit me or anyone.

"Move move!" One of the following captains calls us out to move in. So me and the Platoon rushes towards the base. That's when enemy forces starts firing at us.

"Take cover!" We all start taking cover. The enemy forces are continuesly firing at us. Some of the Platoon starts firing back eager to shoot them dead ahead.

I peak a bit to see the situation in front of us. There I see three enemies in red robes. I realize who they are and I call the others about it. "Three Black Mages on sight!"

The Black Mages right in front of us starts firing balls of flame at us. The Platoon and I duck in the covers.

"We can't hold here any longer. We need to take care of those Mages!" Says the Captain. I look around and notice what's behind us. There's a man with a black jacket. His outfit seems familiar.

"It's the General!" That's where I realized who he is. It's the Military Generals. By the looks of it, he's Orvain The Mighty.

"I'll take care of this!" Says the General. He takes out a huge hammer and slams it down towards the ground. A huge quake appears from the ground causing to hit one of the Mages.

"Push forward!" The General calls out. We all push forward by his commands. All of us fire at the enemy as they begin to retreat back to their fortress.

We have taken the sector. Now it's only a matter of time until we continue to push into the heart of the enemy base.

(Hours later)

An hour has passed, me and my squad are awaiting orders from the General. Soon, our Captain arrive with some orders to follow. "Alright men, we are about to push in towards the fortress. The General will be with us in this assault."

He ends the briefing right there. And soon we all rush towards the enemy fortress. Suddenly, the General walked straight pass me. I look at him as he looks back at me. He turn his head upfront.

I gripped my rifle. As much as I wanna say this, I just hated the Generals. Well merely some of them. It's good to have the extra hands but for me, it's not enough on how much I never liked them.

Anyways, I'm falling behind. Better get to the Fortress as soon as I can.

(At the Fortress)

The entire Lazarus Army are hold up in the Fortress. There are heavy guns protecting the fortress itself from us.

I see the General is having problems with the Guns as well. Better do something quick or else we'll never move forward. Noticing that there are two extra turrets on top of the rooftops. Maybe I can use them to my advantage.

However this also means that I'm breaking formation. But this doesn't matter because we have to do something or else.

So I left my squad and head towards West from where I'm at. That's when I see three enemies. They notice me and I begin to cover behind a wall. The enemies start shooting at me.

"Come out Alliance scum! We know your there!" The enemies are calling me out. Looks like I need a plan to take them all out. Luckily, I have a flashbang with me.

I pull the pin on the flash itself and throw it at the enemy. The flash explodes and the enemies are blind. This is my chance to act so I start firing my gun at them. Successfully eliminating two enemies.

The 3rd enemy however is no longer blind. He's about to fire his gun at me. But then, somebody shot him instead. I turn around and surprisingly it's another General.

He's holding out his gun in front. The enemy in front of me dies. "Thank you." I thank him. "Don't mention it soldier."

The General holds out his hand for me to get up. I accepts and grab onto his hand. I slowly get back up. "What are you doing here? You should be with your squad." He starts asking me. I told him about my plans on using the turrets.

He then says that my plan is efficient. "However, be warned that there are Lazarus soldiers who are on the rooftops as well. Your not going there alone." I let him join me in taking the turrets.

The two of us are about to rush towards the rooftops. Until the General asks me a personal question. "What's your name soldier?" I turn around to look at him. "I rather not tell you." It's confidential that I shouldn't say my name.

"Well then, fine by me. An unnamed soldier indeed. By the way, I am Zasks Einvant." He holds out his hand again in sign of him wanting me to shake hands with him.

I know who he is. Zasks the Marksman, he's a General just like Orvain the Mighty. "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Einvant." I said to him and shake his hands.

Soon the two of us rush into the building where the turrets are at. From there we arrive at the rooftops and notice a small group of Lazarus Soldiers are occupying with the turrets.

They are firing down at our men. Me and Mr. Einvant attack them immediantly. Soon, we have to clear the roof from the enemies. Now is the time to use the turrets against the Lazarus Army.

"I'll man the guns!" I said to Mr. Einvant. "I'll cover you from here!" He starts summoning a huge shield that can protect us from enemy fire.

I start blasting the turrets at the Lazarus Army to which they're going down one by one. Meanwhile our forces sees this opportunity and they all push forward.

From the fortress, one of the enemies starts firing at us. Mr. Einvant quickly protected me with his Magi.

"You good there Soldier!?" He ask me. "I'm good!"

The Platoons soon manages to break into the Fortress. We've finally breach through their defenses.

"Alright Soldier, now let's get out of here!" Mr. Einvant orders me. We both quickly get out of the rooftops and soon rejoin my squad.
