Warfare 2 : The Stories that Reveals Everything….

"Today we will get into topic 3 of the world history…. the Soviet occupation in Afghanistan…. ", Mr. Rizal started his class.

" I'm sure all of you, my students will be touched by the true stories behind this bloody war… between the Afghan Islamic Mujahidin against the force which tried to occupy Afghanistan," he added. That time Chidori and Sousuke suddenly felt sad with Mr. Rizal's words before he started his story.

" He's telling his own stories….. the stories that proved that he's among the last survivors of the tragic incidents…," Sousuke told Chidori.

"Do the real situations are really tragic that time? I think all wars also have their own tragic stories…," Chidori said before Sousuke suddenly cut her words.

"… You won't understand until you feel the situation by yourself, just like First Sergeant Shafrizal and I…., ".

"Okay, okay… I admit I'm not really positive thinked in such a things.. fine?".

"Roger that..".

"I will start the story now…. The Soviets under the commandment of the last president, Mikhail Gorbachev decided to invade Afghanistan in order to conquer the petroleum important pipes which connect the petrols delivering services from the Arabic region to the East Asian region.

At first, they use the soft way to invade Afghanistan, by diplomatic and administration policies in order to change the government, from the democratic-based government to the communist government. In this case, the Soviet KGB played an important role in possessing the cabinets without they realize about it.

The soft way ended with failure. So, they moved into the hard way, the military style. From Uzbekistan, they rushed into Mazar Is-Shariff and straight into Kabul without any skirmish at all. That time, most of the woman were raped and slaughtered, their sons and daughters were killed in front of their eyes, their husband and families were slaughtered and buried alive….. Masya-Allah,…..

Most of the young and couraged freedom fighters, mostly known as the Mujahidin or the holy fighters formed their own military team and attacked all of the Soviet military facilities or infantry in Kabul…. Kabul, where everything started…."

"Do this incidents really happened, Sousuke? I bet this is only a joke or ... he he he… some kind of bluff anyway," Chidori asked.

" Yes, Miss Chidori…I saw these incidents with my own eyes…," Sousuke told Chidori.

" Oh Kami-sama! I don't believe it…..," Chidori gasped.

"The next days, the numbers of the Mujahidin attacking the Soviets Batalions were extremely increased… and the highest rate was,… when the most well ruthless and cruel Mujahidin nicknamed 'The Ghost' appeared. Most of the Soviet commanders in Afghanistan including General Abdul Rasheed Dostum and General Andrei Kalinin were afraid of this mujahidin because of his special abilities in all kinds of warfare… some says that he receives the help from the almighty God…. But I admit he is the main factors in the fight to retrieve back Afghanistan from the Soviets…. I have no doubt about him...," Mr. Rizal ended his story.

"Aha, now back to our topic…".

After the school session ends, Chidori and Sousuke cycling back home when the new teacher meet them in their way back home.

"First Sergeant Mohd Shafrizal, Sergeant Sousuke Sagara report in for duty, sir!" Sousuke yelled and salute the new teacher.

"Good job, Sergeant….," the new teacher answered Sousuke and salute him back, just like the tradition of the military culture.

"Have you done rearrange your house yet, Sergeant? I'm asking you because our respective MITHRIL Captain will be in your house with me scouting around for two months, I think…".

" What? Two months? Who will be in my house besides you Sir and Captain Testarossa?".

"Colonel Melissa Mao and Leut. Colonel Kurz Weber..," the new teacher added.

What? The new teacher actually is apart of the MITHRIL counter-terrorist organization?

This is so weird, Chidori thinks.

"Oh… You are Miss Chidori Kaname, right? I'm First Sergeant Mohd Shafrizal…. Five years ago, those idiot Soviets nicknamed me 'The Ghost' for no reason… ha ha ha, I just love to watch their head being separated from their bodies using my Arabian sword.. is that right, Sergeant Sagara?".

"Yes, Sir!"

"Oh… Sergeant Sagara, Commander Mardukas is waiting for you in your apartment…. Anyway Miss Chidori, I'm afraid I have to settle my works as soon as possible… thanks for everything, see you later…" the new teacher said and waved at Chidori.

" Goodbye, Mr Rizal….".

five minutes later…..

" Sergeant Rizal, what's your age now? I found that you're getting older and older…." Sousuke asked Rizal.

" Hmm… I think, 22…. Because it has been five years since I don't use my AK-47 to wars anymore….," Rizal answered Sousuke.

" He, he… I'm sure Captain Testarossa will happy to meet you again… she admit in front of me that she is in love with you… and as a result, I am her personal and secret advisor now…."

"Sir, don't you humiliate me just like that….. who am I to be her husband, furthermore I'm just a lousy little scumbag…..," Sousuke said to Rizal.

"No… the almighty God give us life, we are the one who decide it whatever we want….

Alhamdulillah, I decided to be a freedom fighter to serve for the sake of my holy religion and country, not to hunt over those glorious name and fame…. Lillahi Taala, as long as I live, I will use my Arabian sword and my AK-47 to protect the world from those forces who want to crush my holy religion… are you understand?" Rizal asked Sousuyke after giving a long briefing.

" Affirmative, Sir!" Sousuke answered with full of confident and fully understand with Rizal's word.

" Okay… now move your sorry-ass quickly… we have lots of works to do!" Rizal ordered Sousuke….

"Sir… Yes, Sir!"
