Chapter 1: The Secret in The Cupboard
Our story begins in a dark city of Ver Sasha- a small town deep in the wilderness home to troop 75. Seargent Vorn and General Daniel were the leaders of this small, but harsh community. Today was the coldest day ever and sadly, going to be the darkest, saddest day for the people of Ver Sasha..
"Go get them," said General Daniel to Klitch Yeni, one of the most awarded soldiers of Ver Sasha.
“Go get who, sir?” Replied Yeni.
“Are you stupid?!” Exclaimed Daniel.
“No,sir,” gasped Yeni, “who do you command me to get?”
“Rick Laince,” answered Daniel, “leader of Troop 23 of Slawvn -two miles up north”.
“Yes,sir!” Replied Yeni, “Shall I alert the rest of Troop 21?”
“Yes, Klitch,”
“But- where are they, sir?” Asked Yeni,
“You’ll have to find out for yourself..” says Daniel mysteriously.
At that moment, Yeni wiped out. His mind was cleared as he entered a dream. An over realistic dream. The dream that’s real. Voices echoed through a dark, misty room.
“Nooo, let me free” said the voices,
“Hun? Who’s there?” Asked Yeni,
Then Yeni went back into the real world, however this time he was in a field. Instantly, when he arrived, he noticed the red mud covering his left arm. He sweeper off the mud and noticed a fresh cut around 2 inch deep. He got up and looked around at the familiar view. It was Troop 21’s headquarter. He pulled out his 4 inch pistol and slowly walked into the tall black building.
When he tried the doorknob, it was locked. So he kicked it. The door didn’t move. What he didn’t know was that somebody was slowly approaching him.
“Who are you!?” exclaimed the man
“Aaah!” exploded Yeni as he turned around as he pulled the trigger on his pistol.
Fortunately, the bullet missed.
“What are you doing here!?” yelled the man,
“Who are you?” questioned Yeni,
“If you must know, I’m Dr. Mang, official engineer of Troop 21.”
“Wait, you’re Sylvester Mang- like the guy who invented the Pyrogen Atomics?” asked Yeni surprised,
“Yes I am. Now let’s keep talking about why you’re here!” asked Dr. Mang,
“General Daniel commanded me to alert troop 21 because he wants me to get Rick Laince.”
“Rick Laince? The leader of troop 23 of Slawvn?”
“Yes sir”.
“But he’s the guy who ordered 2 million soldiers to death because of their ethnicity!”
“Wait what?”
“Yes!”
