Note to self: DON'T watch JonTron while trying to focus on writing a fanfic. Still gonna do it anyway.
Terra stood atop the pile of rubble, surveying the remnants of the battlefield. The city was decimated, only a few buildings standing. Stray enemy soldiers and civilians were being rounded up, tanks and armored vehicles roaming the streets.
Another victory for the Strylvakian Army. Terra sighed. Strylvakia, his home nation, had invaded and seized control of one of the nations allied with the Vulgaran Republic three years ago. Wanting to support his homeland, he had enlisted almost immediately. Once he arrived at the training camp, he had been assigned a squad that he would be training and rooming with. His squad consisted of Zack Fair (one of his childhood friends), Cloud Strife, Lea O' Donnell, Isa McGrath, and Aeleus Stoneworth. They all had varying personalities, but they had warmed to each other quickly.
They received six months of training before being thrust into the front lines. So far, they had all survived, and for that he was grateful. Friends provided moral support and had his back. He remembered a time where an enemy infiltrator had snuck up behind him and was about to finish him off when Lea sniped him from afar.
"C'mon, Terra, time to pack up," said Zack. Terra slid down the rubble pile and rejoined his squad. He noticed that Isa's arm had a bloody bandage.
"What happened?" Terra inquired.
"Got in a knife fight."
The group hopped in the back of an armored truck. Looking out the window, Terra noticed a little boy crying.
Do we really need all this bloodshed? Terra sometimes forgot why they were fighting in the first place. Then he would remember: Strylvakia wished to expand, and since there was no unclaimed territory around, they had decided to invade. Terra would even question his allegiance sometimes; after all, wasn't this all the result of the greed of his nation's rulers?
The truck arrived at the home base. It was almost dinnertime.
"I'm gonna head to the barracks and drop off my gear. See ya in a few," said Lea. The rest of them headed off to the mess hall to eat.
Terra, Zack, Cloud, Isa, and Aeleus sat at a table, eating dinner: meat and potato soup. Lea sat down next to them.
"After this, I'm just gonna head back and try to sleep," said Lea. "Hopefully it'll just be a slow night tonight."
Suddenly, the alarms began to go off.
"You just HAD to say it, didn't you?" Cloud shouted.
Terra sighed. It would be a long night.
