The Secrets of War
PROLOGUE – I
Sasuke POV
There was nothing left, everything was flattened to the ground. The war ensued everything, demolished everything. Destroyed everything. War truly is a hideous thing. How long has it been since this stupid war started? I can't recall. How did it start? That on the other hand I can tell you about. In the year 2017 an imbalance of political might led to the rise of three "Super Powers". And by Super Powers, I mean the political, economic and military powers of the world.
To even out the power, the 3 nations created a council to discuss global issues. Well, that didn't go that well. See, the United States of America (USA) , The Extended European Union (EEU) and the People's Republic of China (PRC), the three Super Powers I mentioned earlier, didn't come to an agreement of power.
The USA believed that its military power should lead since it draws power and fear, the EEU on the other hand believed that it's economy, politic strength and more importantly technological "know how" should lead since it has the largest economy in the world, has the least amount of propionate and largest technological development, lastly, the PRC believed that it should lead since it contributes the biggest population and what is a nation without it's men.
I can't recall who took the first shot. All I remember is that it turned out to be a blood bath between the USA's military, the EEU's technology and the PRC's population. The USA was the most dominant and almost won, but the EEU's technology manages to hold on and, with additional development of such short notice, managed to be on par with the US. While the PRC invested in its population to exponentially increase its military man-power. The world is now divided. The USA, The EEU and The PRC, all fighting for world dominance.
Anyway, here I am, 4 years later, year 2021 still fighting in this bloody war. My name's Sasauke Uchiha, 18 years old, Captain of the "GA" Black Ops team "Shatten" of the European Union. "Shatten" together with two other teams, "Tonnerre" and Storm" are the first products of the EEU's Black Ops Class S Academy "GA" Department, trained in almost every battle scenario. You're probably wondering what "GA" stands for. "GA" stands for "Genetically Altered". We're the result of genetic engineering. I know what you might think, you probably think that genetic engineering is gross and immoral, but the EEU simple started this as a response to the USA's artificial drugs to enhance physical abilities. The EEU simply took it to the next level and used it's innovation to genetically modify our genes. It wasn't meant for military use, it was actually a project for research done on lab rats before the war. But with the war raging, we didn't have much of a choice. The scientists then changed the drafts of their genetic breakthrough to be applicable to humans and focused on the genes that stimulate the development of the traits needed for combat. Given the range of unnatural level of enhancement of the new draft, and the complexity of not only the human body but also the complexity of the human brain that has to cope with the physical changes, the success, survival and more importantly the compatibility rate of the developmental stages dropped dramatically to around 20% under ideal conditions and to under 10% at normal given conditions. Healthy couples were sought after for their genes to increase the survival rate. Technology and machines though, could never replicate the mother's womb so perfectly so although we ware altered technologically at a genetic level, we were still born naturally and we were named by and after our birth parents. Given the varying conditions and drastically low survival rates, only 15 of the original over a hundred survived. Our batch of 15 were then separated into three teams of five, namely "Shatten", "Tonnerre" and "Storm" named such to represent Europe's three most dominant countries: Germany, France and the United Kingdom.
Initially, I hated the idea of being scientifically changed, to be genetically different, bu now, i'm glad of what I am. It allows us to do things normal people could only dream about. It makes us faster, smarter, stronger, it enhances our senses our instincts and our reflexes. And most importantly, it gives us the power to have a great impact on this war.
But science and engineering are only part of the equation. There is also blood, sweat and dedication for rigorous training. It started when we were twelve, around the time when the tests have definitively shown that we survived the developmental stages of our genetic modification. The training was brutal, but it shaped us to who we are today. Our first mission came around 3 years ago and we have been on the field ever since.
We learned that the US had finally succeeded in their drug enhancements yet we have still to meet our American counterparts but it'll only be a matter of time.
There are a total of 5 members on my squad, namely:
Neji Hyuuga – age 19
genetic engineering level: S
special genetic trait: Byakugan
country of origin: Great Britain
Naruto Uzumaki - age 18
genetic engineering level: S
special genetic trait: Kyubii
country of origin: Spain
Shikamaru Nara - age 18
genetic engineering level: A
special genetic trait: Enhanced IQ of over 200
country of origin: Germany
Kiba Inuzuka - age 18
genetic engineering level: A
special genetic trait: Enhanced smell and hearing
country of origin: France
and lastly,
Sasuke Uchiha - age 18
genetic engineering level: S
special genetic trait: Sharingan
country of origin: Germany
This war has gone on for far too long and we intend to put a stop to it. I don't care who's at fault for this war. I don't care who stared it, but we intend to finish it. Too much blood has been spilled. I believe in the ideals of the EU and that is why I fight, that is why we fight.
Note:
The European Union (EU) should not be confused with the Extended European Union (EEU). The EU is composed of all members of the current European Union, while the EEU is from the authors imagination composing of all current EU members with the addition of theirs allies as the story line sees fit which includes bat is not limited to Russia.
