A/N: Hi. So uhm... this is going to be a war setting fic with the raijin days group. So its AU. It takes place in the future with a war created by me, Tai, and two other people who will be continuously working on this fic together. We made a lot of plans... I just tend to write slow. Some chapters will be by my otouto-chan, (yes I know otouto means brother and she's a girl but theres a reason) so if you notice a different writing style that's why. Also, we have my Shizuchan who is a war buff and so she does a lot of research on weapons and other war things. So we hope its pretty accurate.

It'll be kind of (really) OOC, as Shizuo and Izaya are best friends and kinda secretly have little crushes on eachother to start with. Izaya's kinda small and weak but Shizuo's still pretty stong (just not to the extent of the anime.) Also, this prescript is from my character's POV, but don't worry, our self-inserts won't be very important or even show up really until the end. This is a Shizaya story about the Raijin boys with necessary OC's for character fill, and canon characters as well.
Anyway, enough of my rambling, please read and enjoy, and if you have anything to say then review and tell us!

Prescript

June 3, 2042

The world is falling apart...

It seemed inevitable, like the world was destined to come to this. It was already slowly getting out of its balance even after WWII, and even worse after Iraq. But this was predestined, no doubt. Everything's been screwed up since the Cold War, which didn't help this current predicament; the third world war.

Right now, we, the United States are fighting the only other war besides the Civil War on our own soil. Against Canada, who we fought once, and lost to. We cannot lose again, however. We're losing too many soldiers that can't be replaced easily...

Ah, I should probably explain what this war is about. It's a war over ideals. A multinational space project headed by NASA, discovered a planet with the capability to harbor life, just like Earth. Unfortunately, there was a disagreement over what to do with it.

Do we launch drones and study it?

Do we leave it be for the future?

Or do we just go in and take it over for all its got?

This is what caused the mess. Ironic, isn't it? Right now, the United States, Japan, Sweden, China, and Italy all vote for just studying and preserving it.

Germany, Russia, France, Canada, and eastern countries are for the latter; take it all.

However, after WWII, we abolished Japan's military after we defeated them. Now that they're on our side, we had to help them re-establish their military, sending some of our soldiers to train them. Then Canada attacked us, forcing all the American troops to be sent back to defend the front lines. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, and we had no choice but to pull troops still stationed in South Korea. That led to Korea being completely taken over by communism.

Just another fuel for the fire...

China is on our side, thank god, but is attempting to take Korea altogether. It would help, no doubt... But communism... Cold War tensions are obviously still lingering, perhaps another reason we're against Russia.

Ah, anyway, while we were still stationed in Japan, I was one of the soldiers sent to train their growing military. I remember... these boys that I particularly enjoyed the company of... it was sad to leave them behind...

The littlest one was named, er... Isaiah? Something like that - a Japanese version of it. His best friend was completely opposite - big, strong, and bleached blonde. Still, I have never seen friends that close...

Their other friends had brown hair, one was pretty tall and a bit tan, the other kind of small with glasses, but he was usually training with the nurses. I sure do hope they're alright...

Maybe I'll even see them again... Hopefully we left them in good hands with Sweden...
