Another entry for the second Random Character Contest. This is short and sweet.


Adam sat in his living room, watching the news. Ever since the war started, the KNN had been running the news segments since all the other networks were down. He spent most of his days like this, sitting in front of the tv screen or heading to the zoo to spend time with his friends. Middle school was cancelled. At first it was great, but there wasn't much left to do during wartime. Signing up wasn't an option.

Adam was only a year under the sign ups, though he found it unfair that ten-year-olds that were part of the KND could. Of course that was the argument; they were part of the KND, so they were trained for combat, whereas Adam was raised in a suburban home with no combat training to speak of. This left the twelve-year-old to spend his time inside watching from the news, learning info from the internet, or just hanging out with his friends. The latter was getting more and more dangerous with the onslaught of newer and more powerful Fusion Monsters appearing. It had gotten so bad to the point that his parents forbade him from leaving.

This really isn't fair, he thought to himself as he listened to the heroics of the day. I'm just a few months off. Can't they just let it slide this once?

He turned off the TV, unable to listen to it more, and headed up to his room where he immediately got on the computer. With no school and his video games all tired out, he had taken the time to study the war so that he could be of better use to the effort. He had been contact with someone known as "mandarknotsusanrulez96", who had been accepting his suggestions and forwarding them to a "less intelligent mind that had enough time on his hands to listen to advice" (in the other internet user's words). Every time Adam sent an email out, he felt giddy about how useful he was to the cause.

Vicariously, he was fighting the evil Fuse.
