Prologue

Year 2012

Alfred F. Jones(19)

Washington D.C.,America

It all started when one man who wished to return Russia to its old Soviet State killed the President of a Middle East Country.

Irail Elonoch, leader of the Ultranationalists.

*beep*

"Hey Matthew, whacha watchin' dude?" I asked, smiling at my brother who flipped through the channels of the television. "There are no new shows on... Only these reports about a guy or something" the Canadian sighed as he hugged Kumajirou. "Lemme see man!" I sat behind him as he changed it to the news channel.

This year was calm, peaceful, relaxing... The two of us worked hard after losing our parents from a few wars that sprung from the country.

They died in a terrorist attack, saving people, they became heroes.

After all that everything went back to normal. I got a job at McDonalds, Matthew was finishing college, all went well.

But...

"President Ru-Shamsad was executed by an Ultranationalist a few days ago. The men have sent a message to the US government declaring war forcing Russia to fall under the hands of the said group." The reporter said as they showed a video of the murder of the president and the message of the group afterward.

"The U.S. military is looking for recruits as they have fallen under attacks from the Ultranationalists and are grateful for any volunteers who would qualify to aid the country in defeating the said group. In other news-" static interrupted the program as a distant explosion shook our and the surrounding neighborhoods.

"A-al... They're attacking!" Matthew said, standing up and looking at me worriedly. I clenched my fists "Seriously? When everything was good they... They destroy it." I looked at Matt. What i said probably didn't help him "We should go!" He said running to the door. I nodded, reassuring myself then we ran outside.

Civilians screamed as they ran away from the terrorists. They shot down anyone who crossed their path, and we we're probably going to be next. We started running away, as fast as our legs can carry us.

But a few of them went after us, determined to shoot us dead. "Matt, lets shake them off our trails, c'mon" i said. He nodded then we turned a sharp right through an alleyway. They followed in pursuit.

We zigzagged through the roads and alleys trying to outrun them. Until we ran into a dead end.

"Oh no! Alfred!" Matthew shouted as the terrorist cornered us. "Heh, kid, we're sparing you from the war. You should thank us that we'll be giving you an early death. We should start with the younger one" one of them said as he signaled the man on the right.

He aimed the gun at my brother and pulled the trigger. Matthew fell down, his right chest bleeding from the bullet wound. I looked at him in shock. "M...m-matthew!?" I said, shaking in fright. "You're next kiddo" he said.

Adrenaline took over my body as I ran to the man with the gun and threw myself at him, punching him in the face hard enough to break his head. "You Monsters! How dare you!" I shouted, loud enough to catch the attention of a few soldiers.

They ran towards us, killing the terrorists.

"Hey kid, you okay?" One of them asked. "My brother is dying, please help him first" I sobbed. He nodded, motioning his comrades to help my brother. Once i knew my brother was safe, I let myself faint.

"You want to join the army?" The soldier asked. "Yes, to aid America and to save the innocent from the hands of the terrorists." I answered. He raised an eyebrow at me, "Look kid, its traumatizing out there. You have to kill, its a reason soldiers cant sleep properly at night. You definitely don't want to see the bloodshed and the horrors of war" he stood up, shaking his head at me.

"But I want to help! I want to save people. I want to end this war, for good" i reasoned. "Kid, don't think that once you get on the battlefield, you can make a big change. It can be your downfall." He replied as he took some papers and gave it to me. "But we do need new recruits, fill those forms out and you're in the military" he gave a weak smile.

I grinned as I took the forms."You can count on me! I'll rank up and do my very best. Thank you sir, I should visit my brother. See you soon" i said excitedly and ran off.

I knew i could make a difference.

"The life you knew before is gone. Today, we fight to bring it back"
