In the year 2012, I Christopher Wong moved to Kuala Lumpur to live a new life after my dad's job got transferred.

I moved into a new home,a rather peaceful neighborhood, not a sound was heard, no dogs barking or cars driving by noisily,

But I recalled that the guy that sold the house to my family said "Whatever you do; DO NOT OPEN THE STORAGE ROOM DOOR", I

wonder what did he mean by that, but ever since he told my family about the storage door, I wonder what would be inside it,

so I waited for the right moment to open the 'locked' storage door. One day my parents left home because they had to attend a wedding dinner,

so I was left alone at home and took that moment to get the door open, I went to my dad's tool box to see what tools does he have that could be of use to me.

I found a hammer, a sledge hammer to be accurate, the hammer was rather heavy but it was big so that is understandable, as I smashed the door lock with the hammer,

I opened the door and went inside to look inside, but I saw a bright flashing light and it felt like I was being pulled in by someone or something. I woke up in an

unknown forest that I've been before, but all I knew was that the forest was clean and somewhat 'beautiful' for an unknown reason, I turned my head to look around my surroundings,

but I heard someone singing and I can also hear footsteps to my right, as I ran to see what was there, I saw an army or robotic machines that have Human-like faces on them, I also

saw 2 girls on two separate tanks,which was a T80B Main Battle Tank & a T90A War Tank, singing an old war song called "Katyusha/Катюша".

Rastsvetali yabloni i grushi,

Paplyli tumany nad rekoy.

Vykhodila na bereg Katyusha,x2

Na vysokii bereg na krutoy.x2

Vykhodila, pesnyu zavodila

Pro stepnogo, sizogo orla,

Pro togo, katorogo lyubila,x2

Pro togo, ch'i pis'ma beregla.x2

Oy ty, pyesnya, pyesenka devich'ya,

Ty leti za yasnym solntsem vsled.

I boytsu na dal'nem pogranich'e x2

Ot Katyushi peredai privyet.x2

Pust' on vspomnit devushku prostuyu,

Pust' uslyshit, kak ona payot,

Pust' on zemlu berezhyot rodnuyu, x2

A lyubov' Katyusha sberezhyot. x2

Rastsvetali yabloni i grushi,

Paplyli tumany nad rekoy,

Vykhodila na bereg Katyusha,x2

Na vysokii bereg na krutoy.x2

I continued hiding within the forest trees, I fear that they might be evil. As I was hiding in the forest trees, I followed them, till I realized

that the logo on their tanks seemed similar to the Soviet Union's insignia consists of two overlapping steel squares crossed with a T-square and small scissors on top,

imitating the hammer and sickle design of the flag of the Soviet Union, or possibly a new Union of the Soviets.

As I followed them, I came upon a war, I did not know what year was it nor what time but all I knew was that I will be in danger if I do not escape but I was to late,

the Humanoid robots saw me from behind and captured me, they sent me to their Commander's camp, as the robots walked me to their camp, I look to my left and saw the battle.

I could hear roars of creatures, screeches of machines, and see large flashing lights, but I was unable to see who or what were they battling.

As I enter their camp, I saw two girls, one was very short for some reason but had short curly blonde hair and another girl that was rather beautiful and tall, possibly the same age as me,

she had an average long black hair that reached her shoulders, with blue eyes and seemed to have a 'motherly aura' around her for some unknown reason.

The short one came towards me and asked:

"Who are you? Are you a spy of the Nakamono? Or the Trigger Piece? Answer now, or you will be executed!" said the short blonde girl.

"I-uh...I-I'm Christopher Wong Pang Zhao! A 15 year old student! P-Please don't kill me, I don't even know what's going on!" I said with fear in my heart.

"Now now, Katyusha; it is rude to say those things to someone we don't even know." said the beautiful young lady.

When I found out the short blonde girl's name was "Katyusha", I then realize that her name is the exact same name as the song she sang not long ago.

"I apologize for my Commander's rudeness." she said as she smile at me with kindness.

"I-it's alright, I'm kinda used to things like that." I said as I smile back at her.

"Enough of this 'small-talk'! So are you part of the Nakamono or the Trigger Piece?" Said Katyusha with a serious look on her face.

"No, I don't even know what's a Nakamono or the Trigger Piece." I said so with a look of truth.

"I see... Nonna! Have General Greedos take over Shon's battle position" Said the short blonde with certainty on her face.

For some reason, hearing the name "Shon" seemed rather familiar, it gave me the chills after hearing that name, it felt like I might get killed by that "Shon" person.

I was being taken cared by the Humanoid robots for some reason, maybe Nonna asked them to do so, or they're just doing for sake of me staying alive, possibly.

I heard a voice from outside, it appeared to be a male, I fear that it might be that "Shon" person that Katyusha asked Nonna to call.

"C-C-C-Calm down, Christopher, calm down, maybe this "Shon" person is a good guy!" I thought in my mind with fear showing on my face.

As the door opens, I saw a man with dimmed red eyes with black hair that reached his shoulders, slightly similar to Katyusha's hair but just different coloured, his face showed a lot of grief for some reason, probably because he's a commander of an army that is in charge of killing others.

"I am Kisunagi Shon, leader of the Kisunagi Patch and Vice-Commander of the Soviet Pravda, state your name and purpose for being here." Said the intimidating Vice-Commander.

"I-I-I uh... I am Christopher Wong Pang Zhao, a former 15 year old student, I have no purpose for being here!" I said with panic from my lips

"If you have no purpose for being here, then how did you get this far from Moscow?" Said the Vice-Commander.

"Moscow? I came from Malaysia, I don't even know what year is it now, I was teleported from my home and I woke in a forest not far from here." I said with curiosity.

"Now it is the year '2050', the 'Year Of The Revelation', it is the year where the Soviet Pravda's uprising attack of planet Earth.." Said Shon with curiosity on his face.

I was in full shock, I did not realize that I went into the future from 2012 to 2050, as I was panicking, I realized about my parents, are they alive? Or do they think I'm dead or missing? I did not realize that we Humans would be at war again after the year '1945' during the end of World War II.

"Is this World War III?" I asked with curiosity

"Pardon?" Shon asked with a face of questioning.

"I said, 'IS THIS WORLD WAR III?!' ." I shouted at Shon with a face with anger and a question of wonder.

"This is World War X(10)." Said the dimmed red eye man.

I dropped down on my knees with my hands on the ground, I came realize that Earth was in war for about 10 times. How many people have died? Most importantly, did my family die? I was too shocked by the news of World War X, was I thought out to be dead or missing? This is the first time in my life, that I felt this cautious.

"Shon, how did the questioning go?" Said the 'Tiny Tyrant' Katyusha.

"It is very questionable, Milady." Said Shon.

"I see, Nonna, tell him." Said Katyusha

"Konechno(Of Course), Christopher Wong, would you like to join the Soviet Pravda?" Said the beautiful lady.

"I-I'm sorry, what did you just say?" I asked just to make sure what she said.

"Would you like to join the Soviet Pravda, and be with us?" She repeated once more with a smile on her face.

As I saw her beautiful smile, I blushed and looked away for a second and wonder if I should join the Pravda. As I looked back at her, I stood up and said:

"Yes, of course! I will gladly join the Red Army!" I said with excitement and pride!

Katyusha was rather amused when she saw me wanting to join the Pravda, however Shon's face was rather different from the girls, it was like as if he knew my answer from the start of the 'questioning', I find him rather strange but I'm curious to learn about that man. After joining the Pravda, I find myself as a Captain of Pravda, I wonder how did I get promoted into a Captain and not a Private but I don't want my rank to go down, I was also in-charge of an NS-5 Droid fleet(Humanoid robots). I was rather happy for having a fleet but I must engage in battle with Vice Commander Kisunagi, Fleet Commander Nonna and Master Commander Katyusha. As I set out for war, I realize my new life has just begun!

I will still figure out whether my family is still alive.

The War Has Just Begun.

(To Be Continued...)
