Fight for the future
Chapter 17: Imagine

'' Thoughts
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's
easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine
all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no
countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And
no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need
for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the
people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a
dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join
us
And the world will live as one
John Lennon: Imagine
Hotaru runs into Adam's room and wakes him up.
"Huh? What…." Adam says.
"You should see this." Hotaru replied.
Adam gets up and puts some clothes on and follows Hotaru outside to see a load of people gathered outside all armed.
"Whoa, who are all these?" Adam asks.
"About every able freedom fighter in Japan." Trista replied making Adam jump.
"How many are there?" Reiko asks.
"A lot of people by the look of things." Adam replies as he stares at the crowd whilst constantly sweat dropping.
Adam goes inside followed by his squad, Trista and the other leaders from the different freedom fighters factions (which is about fifteen people) and they go into the main hall, on the way Adam got his sword and attached it to his belt.
"How many people do you command each?" Trista asks.
"My name is Lei and I command four hundred people." The person with shoulder length brown hair said.
"I'm Jun and I command thirty people."
"That's four hundred and thirty so far, we're going to need a lot more people." Adam said whilst sitting down at the back of the hall.
They turn round and look at him.
"And who are you to say that?" Lei asks as Adam stands up and walks over to him.
"I'm Adam Aino, sole survivor out of two hundred and ninety one people." He replies.
"You're the survivor?" Jun asks.
"Yeah, I lost a lot of good friends that day." Adam replied.
"Now, lets get back to business." Trista says.
Once everyone introduces himself or herself and tells how many people they command Adam draws his sword and drags it across the floor leaving a line on the floor before putting it away and stands on the opposite side.
"Anyone that will stay and fight will cross this line." Adam says.
Adam's squad and Trista cross the line; they look at the others before they decide to cross.
"Trouble is will your people fight?" Trista asks.
"We'll ask them." One of them said.
They leave and go outside to find everyone still waiting and talking to each other.
"OKAY PEOPLE I KNOW THAT YOU'VE ALL LOST FRIENDS, BUT I NEED TO KNOW WILL YOU FIGHT OR RUN!" Adam shouts and they all shout fight before Adam looks at Trista.
"There's our answer." Trista says.
"We should pack, we've got a long walk ahead." Adam said before he goes to pack.
Later
On the road to Tokyo they encounter some resistance but not much, they set up camp later for the night in a tent Trista, Adam and the other leaders look at a map.
"What if we come in from the left and flank them?" one of them says.
"No, she'll be expecting that." Adam replied.
"What do you suggest then?" Trista asks.
"A direct approach with two small field guns on either side of the centre group made up of four ranks, once the field guns have fired two rounds each the four ranks will fire two volleys each, the first four ranks charge into the enemy followed by he right and left flanks." Adam says.
"I like it, if we're going to die let's die with dignity." One of the leaders set.
"So, it's settled the four ranks will contain one hundred people with my squad in the first rank, then the rest will charge the enemy ranks." Adam said.
They all nod and go back to looking at the map before they go to their tents for the night.
Next day
Adam wakes up and packs his gear away before taking down his tent, slinging his rifle over his shoulder he waits for everyone, when everyone is gathered they march towards their destination, Tokyo for death or glory.
