Long time gone

Chapter 1

Flippy

It's been quite some time since I've been home. At least two years. Y'see, I used to be in the war. The "weaponized Animal Regiment". I can still remember it, like it was yesterday. Times were tough back then. Our mission was to keep the world safe from Tiger General, and his soldiers, who were planning to destroy the world, using a giant bomb. At the time, I was ranked only as a private, along with my mates Sneaky, and Mouse Ka-boom. I'm retired now, thank god. The memories however, are still carved into my mind.

"Atten-hut!" called the commander, the many soldiers snapping into place, saluting the commander. "Our mission is to be rid of Tiger Generals. Do you understand me?" "Sir, yes, sir!" We were split into groups, and everyone split up to do what they were told. At the time, I was 15. The youngest soldier there. I probably should have been living a normal life with my friends, back at home, and learning in high school but something appealed to me to stop Tiger General. I couldn't let him destroy the peace in the world.

Mouse ka-boom, Sneaky and I hid out in a bush. I used my binoculars to get a better look at the lair were Tiger General was probably planning world domination with his soldiers. I had raised two fingers, and then cut through the air, releasing my two fingers, signalling for my team-mates to go.

They disappeared into the darkness, to do whatever they did to be ride of the Tiger soldiers. Meanwhile, I had my own ideas. I had often been told how guidable the General was, so I decided to bring them some pizza. "The pizza is here!" I heard the General call in joy, as I stepped through the door of the lair. He really was gullible. It was laughable.

I stayed calm, turning my back. There was a knife placed in the box. I would pick it up and throw it at the General, in hopes it would hit him.

I had screwed up.

Instead, I picked a pizza piece, throwing it at him! I winced, watching as melting cheese rolled off his face. He was very dis-pleased. And I had been caught! "Shit..." I mumble. "Get him!" The general yells, pointing a finger. I run out of the lair, my life now in danger. Soldiers are running after me.

I reach for the knife in my pocket, throwing it at the soldiers. It hits the wall instead. Blood squirts out, and Sneaky is revealed. He appeared to be a camouflage before. "Damn..." I run like the coward I am. Meanwhile, I notice Mouse Ka-boom. He throws a bomb in the direction of the soldiers, they scatter out, running for they're lives. It enters the lair, and to my disbelieve, bounces back while I'm busy trying to pull the knife out of Sneaky. The bomb lands into Mouse Ka-booms hands, and I hear him panic. He approaches me with a questionable look on his face, holding the bomb up to me. "What do I do!" He should have thrown it, of course. However, I hadn't heard him, and I pulled the knife out of Sneaky, cutting off the bombs flame. "Phew..." I sigh and smile. But what's this? Mouse Ka-boom's eyes roll back, and falls to the ground like a doll. The flame lands in Mouse Ka-booms bag of explosives, and the was a huge ka-boom!

Black smoke fills the area, and my head is pounding now. "Ouch..." I mumble, rubbing my temples. The smoke clears and I gasp in fear to see the dissembled bodies of my team mates. They had died in the impact! I hear the sound of a truck in the distance, and the yelling of Tiger General. "He's nearby! I heard the sound of the bomb! Get him!"

Panicked, I hide in a bush, Tiger and his soldiers now present, the sound of the trigger on guns could be heard, as they search the area. "Hmm...where is he." I hear Tiger General say. Meanwhile, I feel something build inside my system. Blood rushing, adrenalin pumping, pupils narrowing. "I think I found him!" One of the soldiers yell, he is close to the bush. The soldier pushes a few branches out of my way, and finds me hiding. "So you've found me." I remember saying in a low whisper. "No use hiding then." I stand up.

And that's where I just snapped.

I'm laughing manically, as the soldiers just stand and stare. I have no weapons on me, and they know that. It doesn't matter, however. I was trained in hand-to-hand combat, so I could easily kill them. "Kill him!" The general commands, to the soldiers armed with guns.

"Wrong." I continue to laugh. I run up to one of the soldiers, punching him in the gut, He falls to the ground, clutching at his stomach. Another soldier, I twist his head back—an instant death. I continue to torture and kill the many soldiers. One may think I was evil. However, I couldn't help myself. I felt as if I was being controlled. And yet; I didn't bother to try and stop it.

These soldiers truly were evil, for supporting Tiger General in his quest of bombing the world. The general lunges at me, a fierce look in his face. I grin, raising a fist, but he attacks first, thrusting a knife into my chest. I cough and gag, but retort with a punch to the face, sending him flying, hitting a tree.

I run up behind him, pushing him against the tree as I laugh manically some more, about to finish the low-life off. However, with his fake hand made of metal, cuts into my wrists. They feel numb now, but I manage to continue without the fight. Surprisingly, I'm not dead yet. Sometimes I would wonder how I survived through all this treacherous pain at such a young age.

Suddenly, he pushes me off a clift, and we're falling, falling, falling. In instant death for both of us, but half way down, we hit a log. I was at the bottom, so I would definitely be dying first. However, gravitation makes it so that the log is flipped, the General at the bottom. I was standing atop of the log, looking down at his pitiful face, full of fear, I just laughed.

We landed, Tiger dying on impact. I managed to fall, landing on the arche of my foot and my knee. I had survived. I smiled manically, as I collected Tiger's dissembled face, just happening to find my pizza box. My mission wasn't over just yet.

I made my way back to the Tiger lair, pizza box in hand. An alarm went off, as I stepped into the lair. The soldiers turned in my direction, I could smell they're fear. I laughed manically as I

opened the box, revealing the Generals chopped up face. And I killed every last one of them while they were still frozen with fear.

The last thing I remember is patting the ground with a shovel. The rush in me gone, and I feel weak and disgusted with myself. I lower my head, my green beret to my chest. "Rest in peace, Mouse Ka-boom, Sneaky. You will be missed." I feel tears come to my eyes, threatening to spill. I feel exhausted.

I was then ranked as a sergeant, but I decided to retired, now that the mission has been completed. I had spent so much energy on that battle, and I had felt exhausted. I figured I could do something better with my life now that I'm retired. Move back home, and check up with my friends. Perhaps I'll re-enter high school.
