Chapter 105 - Short Story- A Bloody War

Its Earth countless years into the future. The world suffers through countless pandemics, economic crises, and the downfall of the environment. The people were slowly losing their respect for their nations and leaders. Countless assassinations were done on the rich and powerful. Civil unrest spread like wildfire and countries were on the brink of revolutions and civil wars.

But there are a few lucky countries that saw the paint on the wall and enacted fast and well-thought changes within their nations. Become true democracies for the people by the people. While the countries with the money of the rich blocking their ears slowly eroded away the rights of their citizens.

Like this, the world becomes divided, into authoritarians and democracies. What follows is a period of heavy wars and fighting. As the democracies came together under one nation. Call "The United Republics of Terra" led by a great leader, a man with no faults. A true leader of the free world. Beloved and respected by everyone, even does that disagree with him respect his honest and great character.

This man leads forward a great war unification war. To get rid of the authoritarian countries and liberate the world. To unite all under one single flag. But war is war, for even such a great leader could not take care of everyone. There are still does that fall through the cracks.

In one of the most populated cities within the United Terra, a great battle was being waged. The authoritarian countries are not united, but they are working together to save their own skin. Some of these countries decided to attack the city. To give the President of United Terra his first real defeat.

The surprise attack took the station army by surprise. As artillery shells landed on the city. Destroying countless buildings and taking countless civilians' lives. The sky becomes black as the airplanes cover the sun, as the armies fight for air supremacy. The movement of tanks shakes the ground and breaks the streets apart.

The sound of continuous gunfire echoes through the city. As commanders give out their orders.

"Maintain formation!"

"Tank spotted!"

"Heavy weapon team shoot it down!"

The female commander screamed at the top of her lugs as a special unit with RPGs and anti-tank equipment got into position. Firing a rocket at the tank's tracks, disabling its movements. But at the same time, they game their positions away to the enemy. As fire got directed at them. But the Terran squad shoots the enemy infantry as well.

As blood painted the street and bodies hit the floor. The Terran infantry squad was able to slowly push the enemy out of this street, but they have no time to rest as the commanded got a new order. Her eyes become fierce as she screams out new orders.

"We are to move to the mayor's house! Enemies have been spotted there!"

"Roger Ma'am!"

The infantry squad heard their orders and move under the leadership of their commander toward the mayor's house. They could not let the enemy kill a public official of the country. Such a thing would devastate the morale of the soldiers. Thanks to the leadership of the President, other public officials have started to imitate him.

As they stay back and lead their local armies and militias. Because of this, the death of a public official will lead to a huge moral drop within their commanding army. The infantry squad makes their way to the mayor's house, passing by the destruction of battles and dead bodies. The commander of the squad could not help but wonder how the enemy got so far back into their line.

Maybe is remnants of paratrooper squads or in the worst-case scenario, the enemy is planning to encircle the city and starve them out. As they get closer to the mayor's house, the sound of gun fires enters their ears. Making the soldiers increase their speed.

As one of the soldiers, a young man kicks open the door. Reviling a floor covered in blood and a dead corpse. The mayor's bodyguards must have fought to the last man. The squad rushes towards the sound of gun fires. Passing by the corpse of authoritarian soldiers and Terran soldiers.

But soon enough they arrive at the current battle, as they come out from behind the enemy and started to shoot. The enemy turned back in surprise. But it was already too late as the infantry squad opens fire and kills the enemy. Their bodies now with more holes in them fall down to the ground. Their blood painting the walls and floor.

With a sigh of relief, the squad moves toward the room where the enemy was firing into. They could see In the room the still alive mayor, the corpses of the mayor's guard, and a single wounded still standing young man. The man looks to be no more than 19. His outfit is a bloody mess, with countless bullet holes in it.

His red blood spilled into the floor, but the youth's eyes were as cold as space and with the rage of the sun. In his arms lays the officially issued infantry rifle used by the Terran soldiers. As the squad enters the room, they look at the youngster. The commander speaks first.

"State your name!"

"-------, from the first ----- squad"

"What!? What the hell are you doing here? The first ----- squad is at the other side of the city!"

"I….my family lives in the outskirts of the city..."

As the commander hear that she could not help but sigh, the outskirts of the city were hit the hardest. The youngster's family is probably already dead. But before the commander could continue. The youngster started to walk, as he spoke in a determined voice.

"I must continue to fight…I won't rest till every single of does bastards is dead!"

The squad commander could already guess what happened to the youngster. After finding his family dead, he wanted nothing more than revenge and came here. Wants nothing more than to kill as many authoritarian soldiers as possible. The commander gave the go-ahead, as a soldier went towards the youngster and knock them out. They could not the man go out there and get himself kill. They need to treat his wounds and he needs to get punished for leaving his squad.

In the mind of the youngster, he could see his family one last time. His mother, his father, his sister, and brother. He joined the army to protect them, but now they are all dead. In the very end, he could not protect them, the loss of their lives is his fault. The distant voice of his mother echoes in his ears.

"-------, is time to move on. Our deaths are not your fault"

"Mother no! I am sorry I was not able to protect you all"

"There is nothing to be sorry for. You have to move on, you have people waiting for you"

The youngster slowly turns around. He saw a beautiful woman with gray color eyes and black long hair. A tomboyish-looking maid. A middle age man. He could also see two other figures. He knew who these people were. As his mother's voice reminds him one last time.

"You have a new life ahead of you. Live in it without regrets and remember. We would also love you Mors"

With the final words of his mother, Mors wakes up. Sitting up in the bed as he tries to catch his breath. Having woken up Zhihui in the process.

"um…something wrong Mors?"

"Oh…no sorry, I hope I did not wake you up. I just had a dream about my past life."

"um….what a coincidence, I did as well"

Mors nods at the coincidence as he looks at the sleepy Zhihui. Who happily went back to her sleep. A soft smile grew on Mor's face as he clean the tears off his face.

"I promise I will protect this new family of mine"

Mors said giving Zhihui a small kiss on the forehead. Before laying back on his bed to sleep.
