Wow, I never knew that my stats are so high and my HP and MP are so damn higher than I expected, even that I am at level 60? wow, I guess spending time in the portal and missions to level up more. "John, I got news from the other side". I asked, " What is it?" as they reached the base the radio said coming from the cockpit "Victor 2, Ghost 5 this is Hawk 2 we are ready to land 25 minutes". As we heard that, we looked at each other and saw the base, which was still on building some of the people were working the defensive system and also placing the SAM Turret in every part of the tower but, they were working some of the engineers in every SAM Turret they have, the base was looked like a city. However, they saw engineers who were working a strong defensive wall around the base, the wall has three layers. The first wall placed in the middle, the first wall serves as the last line of defense and the main function of the operation where they stored the information, history and also the resources that gathered in every mountain they saw to build some weapons and etc. The second wall was placed at the second level, the second wall serves as the barracks, crafting weapons and vehicles, training troops and placed there as the main heart of building an army. And lastly the third wall, the third wall serves as frontline and the main operations. As the Helicopter was on the ground, we dismounted and go to the Headquarters to report about the operation. We ride a Humvee and the Sora said to the driver " Okay Zero, on to the HQ". As he heard the destination he nodded and start driving the Humvee, Sora took out a walkie talkie and said " Black Death, this is Delta 0-1 we're Oscar Mike over". After that, I look at my bag and saw the papers and scrolls inside of my bag, scanning my surroundings just in case it was safe. Then I heard the walkie talkie replied "Roger that, Black Death, out".

*2 hours later, Meanwhile at the other side of the world/portal*.

In My Room

As I was deciphering the letters that Unknown figure in the limbo gave it to me. I don't know why? But, my instincts notify me that I should trust him and be ready for the 'War'. While I was organizing the message, seeing the codes that were written on the paper. The texts were full of deciphers and codes, man this really gives me a headache. The only thing that bothers me was the symbol, a symbol who has a weird design of it. The sword was chained by two chains, one on the grip and the other was on the guard. It seems familiar to me and also it reflects like a 'prisoner' trying to be set free, I took a liking the symbol. " Major John, come in Major John". I replied through the radio, " Yes, what is it?" While looking at the symbol I readied myself, picking up my favorite Colt M1911A1 pistol then placing it on my pistol belt holster on my right waist. I opened the door and left.

While I was walking to the hallway and I heard a voice a horrible 'voice', the 'voice' I wanted to forget long ago, I only listen about his 'little speech'.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same".

As I was walking towards the Command room I still hear his voice and continue to listen.

" Boundaries shift, new players step in, but power always finds a place to rest its head".

As I reached the Command door and opened it, I saw many people even my team and Lt. Raven was here. I noticed the black undercut hair whose standing in front of them, I walked slowly to the front to see whose the man talking.

"History is written by the victor, here I am thinking we've won".

I snorted " Yeah, lie of the F#####' century, that is". I thought to myself.

"But you bring down one enemy and they find someone even worse to replace him".

I agree with that statement as well, when it comes to your enemies in life.

"Locations change the rationale, the objective".

As I walk closely and saw the man whose in front, I widening my eyes to see that I wanna forget my 'past'. But, the 'past' has now come for me.

"Yesterday's enemies are today's recruits. Train them to fight alongside you and pray they don't eventually decide to hate you for it, too".

I can see a man who wore the same clothes as I expect the medals and ranks on his chest and between his shoulders, brown eyes, fair skin, and most of all he looked at me straight up. He walked towards me in death gaze and plastic smile, as he walked, he suddenly picks up his Glock 17. When he noticed his movement, we pick our respective pistols at the same time, after that, we pointing our pistols each other in the face. When we drew our pistols and the people were shocked by us, they were trying to calm us down because they feel the tension between us, after all, he was my 'brother'. my 'older brother'.

" John, Robert, both of you calm down, remember friendly fire is not tolerated". Lt. Raven threatened us by using the law, as we heard the threat. We slowly pull down our pistol, then put it back to our respective pistol belt holsters, then going back to the business. As the people saw our weapons holstered, they sigh in relief and wiping out the sweats on their faces because of the tension earlier. "John, that was uncalled you shouldn't do that to your superior and also in front of our men and officers as well". Lt. Raven said, I looked at him in a death gaze and replied " I know but I didn't see him as an officer, I saw him as an enemy. A 'Traitor' whose collaborating my enemy in the past ages ago". As they gasped when they heard my statements, Robert Zenith McCain Kennedy or should I say Robert Zenith whose playfully laugh at my 'childish reasonings'. He ruffles my hair and I slap his hand on my head and I said in demonic tone " Don't test me on my sanity and sufferance 'Older Brother'. If you cross a line again since 'before' say your prayers and I would gladly kill you, anytime, anywhere". I release my killer intent to fear him about 10% when I am released, my killer intent the people inside the room were shivering in fear while my 'older brother' just sweating bullets and I saw his fingers were going to numb, I grinned then I walked towards him then turning myself into the smoke to steal my brother's true identity, after that, I left.

No One's POV

*Meanwhile at the Command Room*

As John turn himself into smoke and nowhere to be seen, many people were staring at him as he left the room. Once the door closed many people murmuring and sharing their thoughts about John.

[ Is that John? I thought he was a devil himself.

[Who is he? Is he an S rank or maybe Z rank?

[Nonsense!! The only number of people who achieved Z rank about 10!

[Is that true? But I am seeing that John was also a Z rank! Not S Rank!

[We have two Z ranks in our nation and the rest scattered around the world.

[Z rank? Is that from the ones who are in Shepherd's Guild?

[Aye lad, however, the Sheperd's Guild have few S ranks people so maybe he can join though.

As the people continue talking Robert smirked and saw his bag was opened, " That little prick, he stole my true 'purpose' here and also he change so much in just a short time. He can easily steal my true identity then turning himself into the dust of smoke? he really holds out to his promises just to see us killed. he thought to himself as he recalled his memories on John's 'declaration'.

*Flashback 15 years ago*

As the two corpses lying down in front of young John about 15 or 16 years old, tears rolling out his eyes and the blood was scattered everywhere. He looked up and saw his 'brothers' stands before him and said " Why? Why did you kill our parents?" The oldest brother replied " Nice question idiot brother of mine, it's because of that. THEY. ARE. WEAK". John widened his eyes as he heard his oldest brother's statement. Robert stares at his oldest brother, he smiled and added: " Yes it is true twerp, Love and Loyalty even Mercy itself is indeed weak and holding back on us for a long time". John didn't say anything and the oldest brother continue "You really are a burden eh? You are so weak 'little brother'. You are not my brother at all".

As John raised himself up and stared at them in death eyes, the eyes where you can see darkness and lifeless that fills in his eyes then replied in echoing tone " Is that so? I think you are mistaken 'Brothers'. The brothers gasped and they stay silent, however, John continued " You really dug your graves already because...

John breathing and closed his eyes as the wind suddenly go wild and the sky turned into a dark then all of a sudden a thunderstrike soon came in and continually strikes as John was closing his eyes. After that, he opened in glowing eyes, the blue on the right eye and the red on the left eye. He said in demonic tone " Robert and Albert McCain Kennedy, you crossed the line too far and now you pay a horrible price, I John McCain Kennedy swore myself to grow stronger and stronger than you ever imagine. When our path crossed again, I will kill you all. I will never ever forget you when you kill my adopted and also our biological family". He pointing out Robert and added "Especially you 'Black Reaper'. Robert shocked and said " How did you-" he was cut off by John while he was screaming in anger and said " YOU ARE THE ONE WHOM I LOOKING FOR!! I SAW YOU YOU KILL MY FAMILIES, MY FRIENDS, MY LOVED ONES AND ALSO YOU KILL MY GIRL!!!!

As they heard John's statement they remember the things they killed John's life. But they heard the words that they change forever.

"YOU TOOK AWAY MY FRIENDS! YOU TOOK AWAY MY FAMILIES, YOU TOOK AWAY MY EVERY BEING I HAVE IN ME! YOU TOOK AWAY MY PEACE, MY FREEDOM, MY HOME, MY HAPPINESS AND ALSO THE GIRL THAT I LOVE WHOSE GIVING ME THE MEANING OF LIFE WAS NOW TAKEN BY YOU A######!! I WILL KILL YA ALL WHEN I CAME BACK!!! I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU HAVE ESPECIALLY THE LIFE YOU HAVE! MARK MY WORDS! I WILL COMEBACK AND KILL YOU!!!!

When they heard John's declaration they thought the same thing " I think we created a demon, things getting interested and horrible in the future. John's right we dug our own grave too early".

*Present Day*

"John, you are really something eh?" he thought to himself.

*Meanwhile at John's room*

John was sitting at his desk full of papers, books, and especially scrolls. He was drinking coke while looking at the symbol that resemblance to the one that 'Light Figure' gave me about the warning when he was looking at the difference between the two. He closed his eyes and said, " It seems he was right all along". After that, the door opened and Sora said " John, you need to see this". he opened my eyes and whispered, " It Has Begun". He got up and left.
