The Order of Golden Roses

"chief, permission to open fire!!" a female voice echoing through his helmet "negative Kelly, order stated us to bring the bomb to the heart of the city and should we to open fire it will compromise our position" he replied coldly, "a-affirmative, chief" she swallowed bitterly as they watching the spectacle below.

---------------------------------================================---------------------

"why did you not just kill the human!" a gruff voice said, the other alien figure with yellow armor and four mandibles in the area of mouth should be "hmph!" shrugging to his fellow soldier, "take the rifle human! Show us the power you human boasted about!" kicking the rifle into the human whose eyes shadowed by his hair.

"Euphy, James, Touko, Sam, Adam, Grass, …." The human soldier keep muttering names like a chant while facing downward creating shadow on his face "you killed them all, my dream, friends, …families" remembering his life, friends he made in the militaries, friends that once accepted him, thinking his goal to become a scientist once he graduated from a renowned university back in reach, but this alien asshole just came and declaring war making him drafted into militaries from his achievement protecting and evacuating civilians from the alien threat with several garrisoned marines and other brave souls.

he picks the rifle and started to rise from his slouched position, face still downward starts to rise and facing the alien, grime and dirt smeared over his face, gritting his teeth "Arthur, Alex, Joseph, Black, Xander,….." he started to chant names again, his voice started to echoes through the rubbles of a once great city, "and here I promise, to avenge them all!" with a bitter determination he started to charge and firing his rifle, bluish shield protecting the alien from the human outburst. The alien just standing there, unfazed by the human, and then he grabbed his plasma sword from his belt.

None of the alien soldiers wanted to interfere with their commander duel and none of concerned that their commander would fall to a mere human grunt. Then suddenly, the human tucked under the sword slash, jumped and fling a grenade into the alien mandibles, *boom* the shield failed and didn't respond fast enough to perceive the grenade as a threat. A good chunk of meat and metal flying over to all direction. It didn't come without a cost though, as his body was blown back a good 7 meters and a stump to his right where his hand once belong. Yet, it didn't stop him. Grabbing the sword that flown together with him, he started to charge again to the horde of the alien, "hahhhhhh!!!!!!", his shout breaking the stupor of the other aliens, "kill him! For the commander!!!!", the gruff voice said as the aliens started to firing their weapon and activating their swords. Unknown to anyone, the human just break his limit to the realm of engineered humans only hope could achieve thanks for his previous name chanting suggesting his brain and body to unlock the limiter yet again it didn't come without costs.

Dodge, slash, evade, slash, dodge, repeating same action all over again as alien bodies piled up behind him, for a good 8 minutes after fighting his body started to slugging and this didn't go unnoticed as the last alien remnant noticed this and stabbed him in the back, until the sword pierce his chest, peeking through the hole it made, "argh!!!" *gurgle* *gurgle* blood spewed forth from his mouth and chest. *boom* a thunderous sound from afar blowing the head of the alien, as the human slumped to the hard and cold concrete, "that's…the power…human boasted about" he muttered, his sight grew dim, his body became cold, and thus ended the life of an unknown soldier that bravely stood against the alien threat. Unknown to him, his action will mark in the history of mankind as the advent of humanity against the alien threat, his name won't be remembered yet his action will prevail in the hearts of every soldier who heard his tale.

---------------------------------------=======================================---------------------------------"that could have gone better, chief" Kelly said, "yeah" he replied, "well, do you think we should broadcast this to boost the morale?" another voice chimed in, "we owed him for opening the path, at least that's what we could do for him" chief answered as he scanned of what was once a battlefield between a human and an entire battalion of aliens, "good gracious! it looks unbelievable but seeing this up close….", "Okay, team quit chattering and move out!". -----------------------===================================-------------------------

"Urgh, my head" as he opened his eyes, a sea of what it seems bluish particle floating about in the blue space, "whoa!, the heck is this.." as he pondering where he is, a voice reverberate through the space, "William Carter", searching for the source of the voice his eyes landed on an object that looks like a pulsar star yet it glows red reminded tint of roses and with a size of volleyball to boot. "you have died" the voice reverberate once again before he could open his mouth, "okay, then what? Uhmm….god?" , he replied with a confused face. "hmm, you are calmer than I expected", the voice reverberate again. "so, are you expecting me to shout, throwing tantrum, and demand you to grant me reincarnation or something like that?", "well, something like that if the reliable source I read were true" as the star object float and wriggling?.

"e-hem" clearing its non-existent throat and its voice started to sound more female, "let's get down to business shall we?", "okay?" carted replied unsurely, "as I have said, you have died and thanks to the previous action you did somehow your soul washed up here in my realm, as a good venerable person I'm, I decided to not let this pass and decided to reincarnate you," as the star held its position upward and wriggling like venerable person it is.

"I get the gist of it, but why?" asked Carter, "uh, you see it's actually somewhat impossible for a soul to wander about in a god realm as they usually get stuck in their original realm of living, or sent back into akasha for 'recycling'", the star replied as it continues, "and it's outside my job to actually manage the soul of the dead as I'm a god who outside such menial tasks, but you managed to do the impossible and it intrigued me so much!", the star wriggling again, "oh, as expected of a great god! Your gift doesn't worth to this lowly mortal", Carter said and bowed after gauging the star personalities and shamelessly tried to squeeze more benefit.

"fumu, I love your self-awareness!!, as a great god I'm I will grant any wish you ask for", 'heh, choroi (easy)' carter smirking inside. "then this lowly mortal shamelessly ask, please give me a system like a befitting reincarnator should!", as carter bowing again the star started to wriggled again, "umu, umu, your wish has been granted!, anything else My first mortal?", "no, it should be enough my goddess", Carter calmly replied.

"is that so? that is something that can't be allowed! I will send you some present alongside your system! Is that acceptable?" the star exclaimed, "yes my goddess, as unworthy as this mortal is I will gratefully accept your gift." Carter replied smoothly.

"as I love this conversation, the time has up it seems, go forth my mortal, conquer, plunder,….eh…ey! do whatever you like!", as a light of data particles envelop carter body and reincarnated him, from the position of the star-it started to shone brightly and stood in its place a woman with a golden hair tied into a bun with red ribbon attached to it and she wears a white blouse and a red tight pants furtherly accentuated her heavenly form. All of it was ruined with her blushing and drooling face as she remembered the mortal she met a moment ago, placing her hand into her face, "ah, I have a big expectation for you my praetor".
