Approximately 400 years into the future:

"Hey Rahak catch" a boy shouted as he threw a ball at him.

"Got it," the boy named Rahak shouted back. He twirled the ball in his hand and flung it back but messed up and threw it to the side. "Ack get the ball!" he shouted.

The other boy although didn't respond he just stared at the sky. Rahak looked up to see what was so captivating that he couldn't catch the ball. The sky was dotted with millions of black things. Rahak knew what they were, his cousin said they were airplanes, he had never seen one but he didn't want to stay and watch cause he knew well of their destructive force since he can't talk to his cousin anymore.

"Everyone get back inside now, were being attacked!!" a women shouted. Almost instantly alarms went off and sirens began sounding as everyone rushed back into the school.

"Ok children remember our lock down procedures, everyone under you desks".

Everyone abided her instruction and hid under their respective tables. Then it came, it sounded like and earthquake it felt like the earth beneath his feat would crumble the earth that seemed to faithfully obey him seemed like it wouldn't now. The ceiling of the room was shaking; the glass windows exploded from the sheer power of the shock waves. Some children started crying for their parents but Rahak kept a level head, he needed to get back to protect his family with his dad. He knew his dad was a great earth bender, but he also wanted to be there to watch his back. After a few minutes of constant bombardment the shaking stopped. He got out from under his desk and bolted out of the school.

"Rahak get back here now! you cant risk going outside" the teacher shouted.

Rahak ignored it, and continued out of his classroom. Once outside, the streets were baron and littered with gapping holes from the bombs, in the distance he could hear the rumble of tanks and a few gunshots. If he wasn't so scared he would have realized it sounded like the fight scenes in the movie and games he watched and played. The street was the main street but their town wasn't that big, so the road was only a four-lane road with houses and shops on the sides. He ran past the local mart which was no longer there, he stopped and stared for a minute. It had been completely bombed out, the walls all broken down and the interior was on fire. The houses near it had ended with a similar fate He ran towards his house and the amount of gunfire intensified but he ignored it. All he could think about was getting to his family and helping his dad fight back the Republic of Fire.

As he approached his house, he saw scorch marks and upturned boulders scattered with random bullet holes scattered across the wall of his house. A sudden feeling of dread dawned on him as he ran to the door. He burst through his door and was greeted by a horrible sight. His parents and sister were tied up and gagged and held at gunpoint, his father was being interrogated.

"Tell me where your commander is and maybe I won't kill your wife scum!" the ROF (Republic of Fire) soldier shouted. Then turned around to the boy when he heard the door swing open.

"Sir I don't think they know" one of the soldiers stated.

"Yea well lets have some fun any ways" the other responded and smirked while the rest of the group snickered. "Hey boy tell us where the commander is or we'll kill you parents and sister."

It was as if all confidence had left him. This wasn't like the game or movie where the hero would so easily keep a level head in such a situation. Where you could easily side step and pick up a gun on the floor to defend yourself, or you pull one of those amazing shots where you take out all the bad guys. No, Rahak was scared; the men who toward over his nine year old form intimidated him. All of them were made more bulky from their Kevlar and more menacing with their dark red uniforms, and random scars and this threw all his confidence out the window now all he could think of was begging for his family's life.

"I-I I don't know anything" Rahak stuttered. "Please we don't know anything please"

"O we'll see, maybe you'll know something after this" the man nodded at another soldier who smirked and cut open his sister's throat and almost instantly blood sprayed out everywhere.

Rahak screamed and ran at the man. He didn't know why he ran at him to try and stop him somehow but it didn't work for when he opened his eyes he saw his sister fall over lifeless. She hit the floor and her lifeless body twitched as blood continued to flow steadily out of the slit in her throat. Rahak simply fell to his knees and cried. His mother also began to wail until a soldier smacked her hard with the butt of his gun and she slowly stopped. The soldier who started it, probably the leader grabbed Rahak and shoved him to a wall to weaken him then grabbed his arms and held them in place and positioned him right in front of his mom and dad then whispered into his ear.

"Now your gona tell me where the commander is, where is the commander?"

"I don't know gasp anything gasp I told you gasp please we honestly don't know anything gasp please!" Rahak spoke in between sniffs while he sobbed.

The leader who was holding him pulled out his gun and put it in front of Rahak. He took both his hands and wrapped it around the gun and put it in Rahak's sights so it was like Rahak was aiming. He then repeated, "Where is the commander?"

"I don't know, PLEASE DON'T" Rahak screamed as he looked down the top of the pistol which lead straight to his mother tear stained face. BANG " NOOO! PLEASE, I HATE YOU STOP AAA" Rahak's words turned into sobbing screaming nonsense.

Some of the soldiers chuckled as he desperately tried to pull his hands away to try and run away so he could forget this ever happened unfortunately his small nine year old hands weren't enough to escape the leaders grasp. The leader waited for Rahak to simmer down a bit then moved Rahak's body so the gun he was holding was pointing at his father.

"Now I'm gona ask again, where is the commander?"

"I DON'T KNOW GOD DAMIT PLEASE, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO YOU? PLEASE STOP!" Rahak was shouting at the top of his lungs, he already lost his entire family to the war all his cousins, uncles, aunts, and now his sister and mother he had to somehow try to convince this devil to leave his father alone.

The leader smirked. "Wrong answer" and he pulled the trigger.
