Introduction

The battlefield isn't for everyone, only a strong and mentally prepare individual are made for this type of environment. The world is a giant conflict zone for mercenaries and politicians. War after war is won or lost, there are riches and there are losses, but the problems we bring home with us after everything is over, PTSD.

Today's date is December 25, 1984; it marks the fifth year of the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan. Also known as the Soviet-Afghan Wars, between the Soviets and The Mujahideen (Afghanistan Rebel Faction). In the last five years blood has been shed in each faction, no one batted an eye to the conflict. Every day soldiers die and it's replace by another who may die in the same day or later in the year.

As of late, mercenaries have been implemented into military factions, whom need the man power to prosper in the fight? These mercenaries come from PF's (Private Faction or Forces). These private armies exchange their services for money from their "employers."

I, myself will be joining a military faction. I'm entering as a lieutenant to lead a whole platoon of soldiers, ready to fight for their country. I'm not with any PF; I'm my own boss and take whatever job I want. I will ensure their victory or my mane isn't Sonoda Umi.

Part 1: Enter the Blue Flash

"Hey...have you heard?" says a soldier to another. "What?" the other soldier responds. "The captain has hired a mercenary to fight with us" said the first soldier. "What!?" says the other surprised. "Yeah…we are losing men every time we comeback from the battlefield, rumors has it that it's the legendary Blue Flash," He said. "What! The Blue flash!? No way!" said the other soldier surprise and intrigued. "Oh yeah, that person will…Oh shit it's the captain look alive!" said the first soldier in a firm voice.

The captain, a man respected by his troops and built looking strong as an ox. Every soldier saluted when he appears; alongside him is an Azure haired woman, who has battle scars on her face and an icy cold stare. Her built is amazing, despise her wearing a men uniform she still has a figure, but nobody dare whistle.

"Attention!" said the captain. Every soldier lined up to show respect to both the captain and the Azure hair girl. "Starting today this young woman will be lieutenant of this army division. Show respect to her as you show respect to me and others in your rank!" said the captain. Everyone is currently confused, not a single woman can register in the army, but she was able to. It didn't made sense to anyone, then one soldier decided to ask for permission to speak. "Sir! Is she the rumor mercenary we all have hear off, to fight for our cause, sir!?"

The captain just nodded his head in agreement, now their attention was on the Azure hair girl and wonder if she is the legendary Blue Flash. The girl stepped forward, clash feet together and salute everyone. "Name is Sonoda Umi and I look forward to working together with everyone. Let's make it back home to our families!" said Umi. The soldiers didn't have anything to say, everyone was just in shock to see that this young lady is the legendary Blue Flash.

The captain called on everyone's attention once more and said, "Who want to test her out? Who wants to get their ass kick?" Nobody raise their hand they just stood there dumbfounded staring at Umi. Then one of the soldiers raised his hand, it was the same soldier who ask the captain to speak. Everyone backed up and formed a ring around Umi and the soldier. Both stepped up, their fists ready to brawl and senses heighten. The Captain laid out the rules, first one to make their opponent lose balance or knocked out wins, with that the fight begins. Fist flew in every direction; it almost seems inhumane how fast the two were throwing punches. Dodge after dodge, then suddenly Umi connected, throwing her opponent to the floor, the match was over. Now the soldier understands why those who faced her, called her Blue Flash.

...

Umi and the soldiers spent the afternoon training, each learning new types of Close Quarter Combats (CQC). Once night came, all of them headed back to their quarters, and new soldiers took the night shift around the outpost. Umi return to her special quarter, sit down in a chair and took out a picture of a ginger hair girl. She sat there and stare at it, suddenly someone knock at her door. She puts the picture down on the table, get up and walks towards the door. Who is it at this time of night? She wondered. She opens the door with caution to see the soldier who had spared with her in the beginning of the day.

"Hello," said the soldier in Avaric. "You don't mind if we speak a little?" Added the soldier. Umi just stood there surprise to see him; she thought that he would hate her by now. After getting his ass handed to him by a woman. "No, no. Come in," said Umi in Avaric. The soldier came in and gave Umi a bottle of vodka. She accepted the gesture and closed the door behind her.

Once inside, he notices a picture on the table and decides to ask her about the woman in it. Umi didn't say anything, just stood there in silence. The soldier realized it's a touchy feeling and decided not to pry, and then he decides to apologize to her. Umi just giggles and he doesn't know why, but at least he saw that she can be quite "Girlish". "It's fine. It isn't a touchy feeling mater, I just don't know how you'll react to when I'll tell you," said Umi in Avaric. He just stood there and said, "Try me!"

Umi let out another giggle, once she finish she began to explain, "The woman on the photo is my childhood friend," she said. He stood there and continues listening to her. "But years later she was no longer my friend anymore," she added. Curiosity got the best of him and decides to ask her, "What happen between you two? What happen to end such beautiful relationship?" Umi looks at him with kind eyes and says, "The two of us fell in love with each other. That is why we couldn't stay friends anymore. Each day we desire each other's warms, it was a painful feeling. Not only was that, but the feeling of losing your love to another individual or to one of your friend eating away at us."

He just stood there amazed at how open she was with him. Something you don't see that with a girl or a guy. "You probably think of me as an outcast, maybe cause of your religion," said Umi in Avaric with a worry look on her face. Before she has been open with people about her orientation and her love for her childhood friend, many have stopped talking to her or avoid her because of their beliefs. He could see it in her face that she was worry, and even dare to say afraid about his response. "I don't care," said the soldier in Avaric. Umi look up at him with a surprise face, "We are all human; we have our likes and dislikes. Our sense of right and wrong and our commitment to mistakes or rightness," he said with a smile in his face, not a facade but a real smile. Umi felt relieve to see someone may actually get to know her as person.

"By the way I haven't asked you your name?" she asks. The soldier replies with a smile on his face, "The name is Vladimir. Nice meeting you once more, Sonoda Umi, correct?" Umi extended her hand and said, "Right! Nice to meet you to, Vladimir" Both shake hands and laugh out the introduction between two new friends.

Umi remember that he gave her a bottle of vodka. She suddenly proposes to her new friend a drink. "Let's us celebrate! To our new friendship, Vladimir!" Said Umi with huge grin on her face. Vladimir didn't know what to say to her, he didn't want to drink tonight. After all Vladimir and his platoon spend two days in a row drinking Spirytus, an alcoholic drink with a 192 alcoholic proof value. In other words 96% of the drink is made up of alcohol. He sees the bottle of Vodka, and then to Umi, he sees the young lass with a big grin on her face. For some reason he couldn't shake the feeling that if he refuse, she would insist on staying for a drink.

"Umi?" Said Vladimir. "Hmm?" Said Umi with a big grin on her face. He really didn't know what to say to her, she definitely is extremely happy to make a friend that finally understands her, but to drink a third day would be bad for him and his liver. Vladimir just stood there in silence, Umi responded to the silence with a puzzle face, wondering if he is going to answer her. Vladimir didn't want to turn her offer down, but he definitely would regret drinking for a third day. "Sure Umi...Let's drink tonight" Said Vladimir with doubt in his voice. And so the both of them begin to drink, each one of them enjoying their drinking time as friends, but Vladimir who has drinks for two days in a row became intoxicated after three shots of Vodka and past out on the floor.

Umi sees Vladimir's body drop to the floor, alongside the bottle fell on him and bath him in liquor and fortunately the bottle didn't break on him and injure him. Umi panic, as she saw her friend down. She didn't know what to do; she flips him on his back and opens his shirt so he can get some fresh air. Finally she opens the door to let air in, the room cools down due to the cool air of the Afghanistan desert. Vladimir seems a lot more stable and he no longer red, maybe due to the heat or the intoxication of the alcohol in his system. Umi decides to walk out, to catch the cool air of the night. Once outside she adverts her gaze to the sky, to see a magnificent view you don't see in countries in war or the city plague by bright lights. You can see the stars clearly and each one of them dancing in the sky, sparkling and showing us their beautiful performance.

"Beautiful," said Umi with an awe look in her isn't the first time she has seen the stars dancing in the night sky. Back in Otonokizaki Academy, Umi enjoyed going to the mountains, hiking and enjoying the fresh cool air the mountain bring. She has seen then many time, shine so bright in the night sky not only that but performed together to bring joy and happiness to those who are watching them. Currently in this night the stars are giving such a wonderful performance in such cool and quiet night. Umi remembers her adolescence with her friends and love, created a group to save their school, and at the end they shine so bright as the stars in the night sky. She knew that sky's the limit. She let a smile escape her heart; she averted her gaze away from the sky and walked towards the front of the fort with tears in her eyes.
