Chereads / The Lost War...or maybe not (INGLES) / Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: An unexpected beginning

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: An unexpected beginning

> The plane starts firing its projectiles, while dropping some bombs that manage to hit the bridge; some soldiers fall and others no longer have ammunition. 

The goblins approach, Souta and the survivors take the weapons without ammunition hitting them, making them retreat. 

The bridge was severely damaged and may collapse at any moment, both goblins and some soldiers fell <

- Comrades, take it down or we go down with this bridge! - Don't move away, don't move away, resist! -

> The plane comes back at full speed, fires all its bombs, they are about to hit them, the goblins get closer and closer suddenly, an electric bolt hits the plane, knocking it down before it kills the civilians. The bridge begins to crack. <

* A cackle is heard in the distance *

- hahahahaha I didn't think humans were so stubborn to die heh...heh...ok, I've had it -

> Wiping the smile off his face, he starts aiming his power at them, along with the others, until a red liquid slips from his forehead, someone shot him, from behind in the back of his head there is only a hole left.

Without being able to react in time, a hail of bullets ends with the remaining mages; And behind them, making their way, a van with soldiers was shooting over it, while the other one was making its way running over the goblins that cornered them. Help had finally arrived. <

- Get the wounded upstairs, we've got to go! - Son of a... it's about time, where the hell were they?!?, never mind... Get in! - 

> Picking up the survivors and the soldiers, they got into the vans and drove away from the bridge that was beginning to collapse. Fleeing at full speed through the wide streets between the buildings <

- What's the delay, soldier! - The monsters cornered us and there were several men in hoods shooting, we got a warning from the base -

 *? a car explodes on the road ? 

- The base warns that something took control of some planes, so they are attacking us and no pilot responds my commander! - Great... Where are these things coming from? In just one night they already have us cornered -

- {Souta these beings are from my world, don't let them get us} Will there be any way to deal with them? *{Look up} - not again, everyone take cover! -

> From the sky began to fall bombs, they were the other planes, the ones that ran out of ammunition, they began to plummet destroying the buildings and houses around.

A magician falls on top of the van holding the commander and even the lord by the neck, about to incinerate them, Souta immediately throws himself against the magician, giving him a strong blow, grabbing him by the neck and throwing them both to the side of the road.

The vans could only continue to accelerate avoiding the debris and the swooping planes. <

- Listen soldier, don't go stop for any reason, I don't want this vehicle to slow down, get these people to safety! -

> Bombs fall around the fight between Souta and the mage. 

He throws another punch at him, and the mage blocks it while punching his stomach twice, bringing him to his knees the mage kicks him in the face.

On the ground he punches him while laughing attacking his face. <

- You think because she gave you some gifts you're immune? *We're closer to you than you think. Now hand over the crystal - 

> Holding back his hand he headbutts the mage, taking a stone he knocks him off his feet. He gets up and ramming him, he knees him in the face, attacking his face three times and one in the stomach, before he reacts he grabs him by the head and knees him again making him fall down.

Annoyed he throws a fireball at it and Souta hides in some rubble. He keeps attacking it with his magic, moves away from the rubble and starts running around it. 

- Come on, didn't you want this, or did you run out of courage? - 

* Throws great flames *

- If I did I wouldn't be playing with you like this! - What the fuck did he just say?! - 

* Throws multiple spheres of fire that destroy the debris *

> A dense curtain of ash and dust rises from the attack <

- Sure, if you can't handle a mere human, is your species the biggest disappointment this world has to offer, or maybe ... you're just the weakest of them all - you'll wish you'd died!

- you'll wish you were dead! - 

-(This is my chance, now that I'm behind you, this one blow should be enough!)

> Taking advantage of this Souta launches himself and...<

*grabs him by the neck*.

- Looks like your game didn't work *looks up* perfect, those people won't escape, tell me... -

* burns his legs *

- *Souta screams* - Tell me human, can you run away from me? Their planes will destroy them, but you will have the honor of being the first. Now tell me who is the weak one? -

> A plane approaches bombing the place, before the magician lets go Souta grabs him by the neck and with a sudden headbutt grabs him by the arms, subduing him so that he doesn't move <

- Do you really think this will be enough? - *Wraps his body in flames burning Souta* - Do you think it'll stop me?! -... Why don't we find out? Look up - ... Let go of me you damned human! No, no, nooooo! -

> Approaching the plane, it drops multiple bombs that fall on top of the two destroying the whole place, silencing that desperate cry that wanted to cling to life.

After the sling of sound and leaving only an eerie silence...the only thing that remained were a few pieces of burnt cloth and a crystal next to it.

Opening his eyes, Souta found himself in the city being in ruins totally destroyed, remains of monsters were everywhere and there was nothing left but the burnt clothes of the mage who attacked him. On the other hand, he was in one piece as if he had never been hurt. <

- H... how is it possible? *Looks at the crystal on the ground* - Could it be true what he told me? ...I have to leave here -

> Picking up the crystal from the ground he heads with clumsy steps as far away from the ruins as possible, finally there seemed to be no danger anymore...for now <

After barely getting out alive, I was able to go to the other end, much farther away from this city, beyond all this chaos, I am finally at home or what is left of it, because there is only rubble left.

Since I fell from the vehicle I heard nothing from the military or those who escaped...they left me behind; now I have no choice but to go to an old acquaintance, hopefully she will accept me back in her home....

> Inside a base with unknown location, an organization managed to trap some magicians. And with one of them hanging by the arms, and tied by the feet with wires connected to an electric generator, next to a table with instruments of "interrogation" < 

- All right spawn, do us a favor and don't leave it easy, you'll talk one way or the other -

- Heh...Even with the truth, they'll just be cockroaches to squash, go ahead, let's see if your primitive world knows a real interrogation - Okay, okay that's the attitude, let's get started! -

> They start giving him electric shocks, which make him squirm <

* A scientist approaches. 

- I'm not interested, but hurry up and get what you can out of him, I'll need as much information as possible, even if we have to tear off the tissues one by one, we'll understand how that magic works - It will be a pleasure... -

14 hours later

> In another neighboring city, little affected by the attack, inside an old apartment, Souta, still immersed in his thoughts, remembers what that voice in the glass asked him while looking at the ceiling. <

- This situation is making everyone desperate, it is not uncommon to see military patrols hovering around, as they threatened to return - 

- {You must go to my world and free me from this crystal} - I know you asked me, but... What could I do? I'm just a simple human, I don't have super strength, I don't throw lightning and I don't have any super powers like anime protagonists, and I don't even have weapons Damn! -

*knocks on the wall* 

- Also that girl and the guard, for saving me they... Why did they have to come?! Because of me they...and that gentleman {help...*Eats him up*}. As soon as we got out of the forest, the guard was lucky to still be alive, we had to split up, although he must be in the emergency room by now; However, the girl and those people...-

*A long silence*.

- No...- 

> Remembering Haruko's words on the crystal and all the people who were mercilessly killed; Souta, wiping his tears, stands up looking for something to fight <

- No... it's not time to cry, I can't stand idly by while more people die, a new attack is coming and if I don't do anything, there will be more victims... Haruko said I won't be able to die, and if I can do something I will! - 

- qui...I'm a...I'm here please listen to me!!!! - Uaagh! - 

*stumbles and falls down*

- Please listen to me! - (That light, sounds like a girl) Who are you, one of them?!

-... Already, can you hear me? -

> A female, transparent figure appears to him, surrounded by a strong glow that didn't let him see her face <

- (This is bad, did they find me? Are they coming for the crystal?).

> The light disappears, revealing a young girl with fair skin and light green hair. Wearing a simple dress and accessories on her arms, and black boots with red and pink, Souta stares at her. < 

- It can't be, you're... -
