The Coman Federation was splintering apart. Having long adopted a superior attitude, the transhuman fanatics hadn't been able to solicit the Bright Republic or other neighboring states to assist in its defense.
The Comen had been left on their own to face the brunt of the sandman invasion. No matter how much they trusted their bionic augmentations, implants and artificial limbs, they hardly made any difference in fighting off the sandmen!
In fact, the sandman devoured the heavily-augmented Comen much more eagerly than normal people!
Engulfing flesh and blood hardly yielded anything useful to the silicon-based lifeforms. They would much rather eat energy sources and valuable metals, something which most bionic augmentations possessed in spades!
Something unexpected happened. The sandmen devoured the Coman Federation with much more fervor than anyone initially expected! Their eagerness to wipe out the Comen led them to attack their star systems with a bit more urgency than normal.
The increased pressure was too much for the Federation. Not only did the increased pressure lead to a greater number of desertions and flight, the Comen also lost their star systems at a rapid rate.
Within a month, the Coman Federation as an independent state ceased to exist! All that was left was a collection of splintering star systems which became engulfed in total chaos! Every Coman left behind desperately tried to flee their crumbling homes, but all the starships of the Federation had already left by now!
Countless Comen died from the tides of sand every day. The messages and recordings transmitted by the sobbing civilians flooded the galactic net. It was as if almost every doomed person wanted to leave proof of their existence.
Even if they died, they would not be forgotten! Their names, faces and voices were all included in a virtual memorial that continuously registered an alarming influx of entries!
Due to the rapid collapse of the Coman Federation, the Bright Republic began to experience more than a couple of sporadic sandmen fleets.
The Bright Republic's war against the sandman had commenced in earnest.
During the initial battles, existing rifleman mechs formed the Republic's mainstay. These mechs already existed long before the crisis and their mech pilots spent years to get in tune with the machines.
Only some of the new rifleman mechs saw battle. Nonetheless, their performance during these initial battles already proved that they were sufficient for the job.
Against the sandmen, the quality of the mech did not matter as much. As long as a mech could fly in space and fire out kinetic or ballistic rounds, then they were already useful!
Having learned from the lessons of the states that fell before, the Bright Republic allocated most of its resources into defeating the sandmen in space. While the government still fortified the surfaces of important planets such as Bentheim, it largely gave up on reinforcing the surfaces of lesser planets.
It was just too difficult to defeat the sandman under the various limitations of landbound combat!
Everyone started to put more emphasis on spaceborn mechs that could fight the sandmen at a distance.
Mechs like the Desolate Soldier began to showcase their capabilities during actual combat.
In one corner of the Bright Republic, a half-company of Desolate Soldiers calmly fired at the sandmen in steady, synchronized volleys. The sandman vessel they targeted continually lost significant chunks of sand as the explosive shells blasted them out into space!
However, the scale of the explosions paled in comparison to the mass and volume of a sandman vessel!
Not only that, but there were six of them orbiting an even greater sandman mothership!
The only upside to fighting a standard sandman fleet like this was that their ranged offensive power was very poor. Though the sandman vessels fired powerful lasers, their firing rate left much to be desired.
This gave the twenty-or-so Desolate Soldiers plenty of time to whittle down the advancing sandmen.
"Keep up the fight, men." A mercenary captain shouted over the communication channel. "There's a vulnerable planet behind us! If the sandmen reach the surface, all of the people who are living there will die!"
His words gained more strength due to the collective auras working together to amplify their sense of duty.
Compared to the other units resisting the sandmen that invaded this rural star system, the half-company of Desolate Soldiers immediately distinguished themselves.
The Rescue Particle Generator module placed at their 'hearts' caused them to look especially valiant. While the mechs themselves weren't very impressive, the orange modules released bright red vapor trails that marked their passage in space.
With around twenty trails forming in unison, the half-company of Desolate Soldiers clearly attracted the most attention!
Their performance stood in stark contrast to the other units participating in this battle. Only the small detachment from the Mech Corps fought the sandmen more valiantly than the commercial mechs!
"We are the light in the dark! We shall not let a bunch of commercial mechs upstage our military machines! Fight harder!"
The competition from the Desolate Soldiers spurred the detachment from the Mech Corps to fight even harder!
However, not every unit was doing so well right now.
Even if the other units were made up of more expensive mechs, the fear and stress of battle against an implacable foe such as the sandmen took a significant toll on their courage.
Lasers struck out every couple of minutes. These bright red beams were far stronger than the typical laser beams fired by mechs. They were so powerful in fact that the beams often melted through the torso of a mech, instantly wrecking it and harvesting the life of the mech pilot inside the vaporized cockpit!
"Larry! No!"
"Hang on, Cassie! Keep firing your rifle! Larry wouldn't want you to break down in the middle of a battle!"
Every mech pilot participating in the current battle had to keep their composure. That was getting harder and harder to do as the strain on them increased.
Each bright laser beam that lit up the battlefield promised guaranteed death upon getting hit!
Just as a formation of mercenaries began to grow increasingly more ragged, a couple of Desolate Soldiers arrived.
The reinforcement of a couple of mechs ordinarily wouldn't achieve much of an effect. In fact, adding unfamiliar elements to another outfit was usually a recipe for disaster!
No one liked to fight too close alongside strangers!
Yet this time, the beleaguered mercenaries did not react too negatively at the addition despite their lack of consent.
Why? Because the auras they brought instantly relieved some of the pressure subjected to them! Each and every mercenary suddenly became more resilient.
The pressure subjected to them didn't feel so bad all of a sudden!
"So the rumors are true! Those strange mechs that are on the news all the time really do help in battle!"
"Focus on your mission, men!"
"Yes, sir!"
Soon enough, the sandman vessels were whittled down one by one. Numerous mechs met their end after a giant laser passed through their frames, but even so the survivors never wavered in their discipline.
At the cost of eleven mechs and eight precious mech pilots, the defense force managed to repel the sandman fleet.
By itself, the battle ended up in a massive victory for the humans. The sandman fleet possessed a lot of power, but its poor configuration and battle tactics meant that much of its potential had never been utilized!
Nonetheless, this was just one of many sandman fleets about to batter the Bright Republic. The opening act had just begun, and thousands of sandman fleets would soon arrive to devour every single occupied star system!
With so many battles in store, the attrition would become unimaginably brutal.
Almost no battle ended without at least a couple of casualties! No matter how well the defenders fought off the sandmen, at least a number of mechs and mech pilots lost their lives!
With how immense the sandman civilization measured, the aliens had more than enough sandman fleets to overrun entire states!
"Not bad, but it could be better."
After the battle ended, Ves swiped his hand, clearing away the footage. He leaned back on his chair and placed his boots on his desk.
"It was their first battle." Gavin noted as he fiddled a bit with his data pad.
"The defenders in that recording simply faced a bog-standard sandman fleet!" Ves retorted. "I've seen how easily they succumb when I was assigned to the Vandals!"
Ves did not fail to see that the performance of the mercenaries fell short. As the battle went on, their salvos had grown ragged. Mech pilots fired their rifles too rapidly, causing them to jam, run out too fast or disrupt the rhythm of the coordinated salvos.
"The important thing now is that this is prime footage that shows the value of our Desolate Soldiers! Whether gathered together or dispersed throughout an allied force, their effects have proven pivotal in keeping up morale!"
"I'm glad that my customers are using my products in the ways I intended them to be used." Ves smiled in satisfaction.
He expected that some of his customers would misunderstand or misuse the special qualities of his Desolate Soldiers, but the outfit that employed them in the battle surprised him. They already knew how to best employ them on the battlefield!
"Many battle recordings are already being posted on the galactic net. Many news portals have broadcasted clips on their own platform."
"Let me guess, Benny. The sight of my Desolate Soldiers flying backwards while colorful stripes of vapor are generated from their chests makes for a very striking image, right?"
"Exactly! Your choice of applying this module in this fashion has worked out great! All the news portals and the people watching the footage can't get enough of them! The more Desolate Soldiers in a formation, the grander this sight becomes! It has boosted the demand for our mechs even further!"
The LMC was well on track to sell over 100,000 Desolate Soldiers two months after release! All of the free publicity helped immensely in propagating the use of this brand-new mech model!
The Desolate Soldiers even started to steal the thunder from other mechs designed by well-known Seniors!
Even though their mech designs showcased their own strengths, much of it wasn't really relevant against a stupid foe like the sandmen!
Ves did his best to avoid becoming conceited, though. It was impossible for the established competition to accept the rise of an upstart mech designed by a mere Journeyman.
One of the reasons why he reserved his judgement was that the sandmen fleets had already begun to improve and evolve.
Every sandman admiral started off from a standard template. They were like rookies who had never experienced any combat in their lives.
However, as long as they survived a couple of battles, the stupid sandman admirals would learn a lesson or two. In response to the tactics that their enemies have employed against them, these sandman leaders would form various countermeasures.
These experienced sandman admirals were the biggest threats to the Bright Republic!
Some would split up their sandmen into thousands of smaller globs. Others would merge into one titanic entity. Already, the sandmen exhibited a lot of variety.
These mainstays of the sandman invasion force had emerged continuously as they succeeded in overrunning the border states.
Even if a lot of sandman fleets had already been defeated, the addition of these abnormal sandman fleets only increased the danger!
For this reason, better-performing mechs still played an important role. The Desolate Soldier was not the only viable mech by far. It was just that it performed very well against the most common form of sandmen.
Whether the Desolate Soldier would be able to hold up against more complex sandman fleets remained to be seen.
"Keep an eye on how many abnormal fleets show up in the Bright Republic." Ves ordered his assistant. "If there are too many of them, then our Desolate Soldiers might not be enough!"
Gavin nodded. "Will do, boss. I think you should have more faith in your product, though. Everyone fears fighting against a tricky sandman admiral. Having your mechs around would do wonders to stave off panic."
He had a point.
"We'll see."


After obtaining the Mech Designer System, Ves aims to create the greatest mechs in the galaxy!

In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. The countless lesser powers of humanity have come to adopt mechs as their main weapons of war!

Only a small number of humans have the right genetic aptitude to pilot these destructive war machines the size of buildings.

Born to a military family in the edge of the galaxy, Ves Larkinson is one of the many people who lacks the talent to earn glory in battle. Instead, he became a mech designer. Helped by his missing father, Ves has obtained the mysterious Mech Designer System that can help him rise in the galaxy and beyond!

His mechs based on the principles of life quickly allows him to rise to prominence. Powerful and highly compatible with mech pilots, his products have the potential to take the market by storm! However, success does not come easily, and countless challenges bar his ability to sell his mechs to a market eager for innovation!

With the sins of the human race in the galactic arena slowly catching up, Ves must navigate the perils of the ultra-competitive mech market and maintain control over his growing organization of misfits.

This is the golden age of mechs. This is the golden age of humanity. The question is, will it last?

"Any challenge can be overcome as long as I design the right mech!"

Status :     Killed In Action
Date    :     13th January, 2221, 17:34 p.m.

"What happened?" Shogun ask
"He killed Kei. He's gone, dad, again" Izuku said frustrated
"What do you need from me, son?" Shogun ask
"A location. Shigaraki and Re-Destro escapes. I want to know where" Izuku requested
"Our drones losses them around Saeki Ward, but we suspect they're heading towards a cabin 5 km southeast of Akitoka" Shogun explain
"Can you tell me about the place" Izuku requested
"Sat feed show some vehicles entering and exiting the place carrying people and supplies, closer inspection show they are armed and have mil-spec supplies" Shogun explain
"Bring me the whole gang, we need all hands on deck to get the leaders" Izuku requested
"Most if not all of them are busy, Delta" Shogun said
"Then make them unbusy. We're fishing the big prize here" Izuku said irritated
"Calm down, son. Alright, I send those who are available. The mission will start in 24 hours. Prepare yourself" Shogun agreed
"I'm already prepared. Shigaraki, Re-Destro, this shit ends now" Izuku said with anger

14th January, 2221, 08:29 a.m.
Lt Col Izuku"Delta"Midoriya
Task Force 141
Akitoka, Hiroshima, Japan

"Those bastards killed one of us. There's no way we won't joint this mission" Gaz said angrily as he, Bravo 6, Delta 9, and Metal 0 are riding a Quinjet heading towards the Liberation safehouse
"We dealt with those who responsible of killing him the first time. We'll be damn sure deal with this assholes as well" Grinch claim
"I maybe new here, but bloody hell I'll let them kill my brother and walk away just like that" Soap claim as he cock his riffle
"You and me both, Soap" Frost clap Soap's shoulder
"What's the play?" Price ask Izuku
"We'll infiltrate from the south side and push our way north. These cocksuckers have mil-spec weapons and class A's quirk, be on the look out" Izuku explain
"Don't worry about us, Delta" Sandman put his hand on Izuku's shoulder "We're the best in the field" Sandman claim with the 141 nodding in agreement
"I know that. Let's get those sons of bitches" Izuku said seriously
"Sir! Yes, sir!" Task Force 141 comply
15 minutes later, 500 meters south from Liberation safehouse
"Let's go, let's go" Ghost said as he and the other 141 soldiers move to the safehouse. As Izuku and others move thru a forest suddenly anti personnel mines jump out in front of them
"What the?!" Roach yell surprise
"Ambush!" Sandman yell as the mines exploded. But luckily, all 141 manage to duck before the mine exploded. After the mines exploded, Liberation terrorists appear out of nowhere and start attacking the 141
"Targets! Left side! Left side!" Price yell as he shoot some terrorists
Izuku and the other 141 began to open fire at the enemy, but more terrorists appearing and attacking them
"They're pretty prepared, aren't they?!" Grinch yell as quirk attack of any kind are thrown at them and smokescreen appear in front of them
"Counterattack into the smoke! Push push push!" Sandman ordered as he and the 141 advance thru the smoke and kill the enemy
Izuku began to fight the enemy inside the smokescreen and killing all enemy that he could find then push forward to the safehouse
"We got a vehicle leaving the target building!" Yuri inform as he see a car driving away
"Don't let that car get away!" Izuku yell as everyone began shooting at the car
"Bloody hell! They're getting away!" Soap curse as the car are driving away from the 141
"Truck, use your SMAW!" Sandman ordered
"Roger! Firing SMAW!" Truck yell as he put away his LMG and grab his SMAW "Back clear?!" Truck yell
"Back clear!" Frost yell
"Firing!" Truck yell as he launch the rocket and hit the car and destroy the car
"Moving vehicle has been neutralized. Be advised we have not, I repeat, we have not spotted Shigaraki or Re-Destro, and no one has left the house. The car may have been decoys. Over" Izuku inform as he only see 1 dot on his radar on the destroyed car
"Roger that, we're advancing on the house now!" Price ordered then he and others began to move to the safe house ready to breach in
"Clear the perimeter!" Sandman ordered as he and the other 141 kill all the remaining enemy outside the safehouse
"Breach and clear the safehouse! Go! Go!" Izuku ordere then he and the 141s move to the front door. Izuku put a door breacher and blast the door open, once the door is blast away Izuku, Yuri, and Roach enter the house and kill the enemy soldiers inside
"Let's go, let's go!" Roach yell
"Soap, make sure no one leaves through the kitchen" Ghost ordered
"Roger that" Soap comply
"Sandman, gimme a sitrep" Price said
"No one's leaving through the front basement" Sandman inform
Metal 0 are going on the basement and kill the remaining terrorists, they then breach thru the armory then breach thru the back door and kill the fleeing enemy
"Basement clear" Sandman inform
"Copy, basement clear!" Izuku reply
Izuku, Yuri, and Roach move to the top floor and kill the enemy upstairs
"Top floor clear!" Roach inform
"Roger that, top floor clear! All clear. Squad, regroup on me" Price ordered as the team goes to the front door
"HVTs not here" Sandman said
"Fucking...!" Izuku curse irritated
"Where the hell are they?!" Sandman gritted his teeth
"Shogun, this is Price. No sign of Shigaraki or Re-Destro, I repeat, no sign of HVTs" Price reported
"Solid copy. Perhaps our intel was off" Shogun reply
"Well, the quality of the intel about to change. This safehouse is a bloody gold mine" Price inform
"Copy that. Price, your team collect everything you can find for an operation playbook. Names, contact, places, everything" Shogun ordered
"We're already on it sir. Shigaraki and Re-Destro will have nowhere to run" Price reply
"That's the idea. I'm bringing up the extraction force to an LZ 200 meters south of the safehouse, ETA 5 minutes. Get that intel" Shogun inform
"Shogun, requesting air strike at our location once we finished here" Izuku requested making everyone to look at him
"Air strike, Delta?" Shogun ask confuse
"Burn this damn place to the ground" Izuku gritted his teeth
"Affirmative. I'll send fast movers to dealt with in once you extracted" Shogun reply
"Roach, get on that computer and start the transfer to the DSM" Izuku ordered him
"Roger" Roach comply then he move to the computer and place a DSM for data transfer
"5 minutes gentlemen" Izuku told the 141. Task Force 141 nodded
"Sandman, you and your team go to the basemen and secure our west side. My team will cover the east side" Price ordered
"And my team stay here and protect the DMS and cover the north side. Ghost, Soap. Snipe anyone on our south" Izuku ordered
"On our way" Ghost comply as he and Soap run outside
"The Liberation know how important this safehouse is and are going to do whatever it takes to keep us from leaving. We need to protect the DSM until the transfer's done" Price said
"All right! Make a 100 meters perimeter around the safehouse! Defensive position, let's go!" Izuku yell
"Yes, sir!" Task Force 141 comply as they move to their positions all over the house
"Ready to engage!" Frost inform
"Ghost to all unist, be advised, we got 2 dozens tangos approaching from the northwest and southeast. ETA in 30 seconds" Ghost inform
"Roger that 30 seconds" Izuku reply
Izuku and Roach move to the entrance door and start shooting the approaching terrorists on the north while Ghost and Soap sniped terrorists on the south
"Foot mobiles approaching from the west!" Soap inform
"Solid copy, foot mobiles approaching from the west" Sandman reply as Metal 0 defend the west side
Suddenly there's an explosion surprising everyone
"What the hell was that?" Grinch said confuse
"Be advised, you have a large concentration of hostiles moving in from the southeast, they just breach the perimeter!" Ghost inform
"I'll try to thin 'em out before they get too close" Soap inform as he tries to sniped any tangos on sight
"Roger that! Everyone cover the field to the southeast! Move!" Price yell
Izuku then move to the kitchen and kill the enemy that try to enter the house. He then move to the top floor and shoot the enemy in the southeast side
"I have eyes on additional hostile forces moving in on your position. They're approaching from the east of the house" Ghost inform
"East of the house, Price!" Izuku inform
"Roger, I'll try to cut 'em off as they come through the trees" Price said as Bravo 6 shoot any terrorists appearing from the forest
"I'm displacing. You gonna be without sniper support for thirty seconds, standby" Ghost said as he and Soap move position
"They're approaching in from west of the house!" Sandman inform
"Cover the west approach!" Izuku ordered as he and Yuri move the west side window and help Metal 0 fend off the attackers
The firefight still continues when the DSM transfer is complete
"Delta, the transfer's complete!" Roach inform
"Grab it! Everybody else cover the main approach! Move!" Izuku ordered then Roach get the DSM and run to the entrance
"This is Shogun. Extraction force almost at the LZ. What's your status, over?" Shogun ask
"We're on our way to the LZ!" Izuku reported "What about the air strike?" Izuku ask
"Garuda Squadron are approaching and ready to release ordinance once you're finished" shogun reply
"Copy that. We're moving to LZ" Izuku inform
Izuku, Yuri, and Roach exited the safehouse and began running towards the LZ while Bravo 6 and Metal 0 cover their escape. Izuku run while shooting some enemies along the way as Task Force 141 enter the forest
"Keep moving but watch your back!" Sandman yell as they all running to the LZ
"We gotta go to the LZ! Come on!" Price yell as they all shoot their way to the LZ when suddenly Soap is hit by a landmine
"Soap!" Price yell as he run towards Soap who's laying on his back
"Shit! Covering fire!" Izuku yell as Task Force 141 stop and shoot at the terrorists trying to approach Soap and Price
"I got you Soap, hang on!" Price said as he lift and carry Soap
"I'm... I'm sorry, Price..." Soap apologize weakly
"Covering fire! Covering fire!" Sandman yell as Task Force 141 cover fire Price that carrying Soap
"Thunder Two-One, I've popped red smoke in the treeline! Standby to engage on my mark!" Ghost said as he throw a red smoke to the terrorists surrounding them
"Roger that, I have visual of the red smoke" Thunder 2-1 reply as the extraction force arrive at the LZ
"Thunder Two-One, Cleared hot!" Izuku yell as Thunder 2-1 fire it's guns toward the enemy
"Delta 9, Bravo 6, Metal 0. This is Shadow 2-2. We're feet dry and ready for extraction" Shadow 2-2 inform as the Quinjet landed on the LZ
"Everybody get in! Get in!" Sandman yell as everyone enter the Quinjet while escort attack helicopters attack the Liberation terrorists around the LZ
"All Rangers accounted for. Take off, now!" Izuku told the pilot
"Copy, taking off" Shadow 2-2 pilot comply then he take off from the LZ
"Shogun, this is Delta 9-1. Mission accomplished. Safehouse is cleared" Izuku reported
"Acknowledge, 9-1. Garuda Squadron, friendlies have evacuated. You're cleared for ordinance drop" Shogun inform
"Garuda 1, Bombs away, bombs away" Garuda 1 inform as he drop 2 GBU-12 Paveway II bombs
"Garuda 2, bombs away, bombs away" Garuda 2 inform as he drop 2 GBU-12 Paveway II bombs
The GBU-12 Paveway II bomb hit and exploded the safehouse and every terrorists on it
 "Good effect on targets. Safehouse is history" Garuda 2 inform
"Let's hope whatever inside the DSM could lead us to Shigaraki and Re-Destro" Sandman said
"I hope so, too" Izuku said as he see the devastated safehouse from the Quinjet
Price put his hand on Izuku's shoulder. Izuku look at the old British soldier "We're here if you want to talk about it" Price said with all Task Force 141 looking at Izuku with determination, even Soap, who's receiving medical attention
Izuku nod "I know that. I appreciate it. All of you" Izuku said grateful
"We're family, Delta" Ghost claim
"Damn right" Truck agrees
"Brother in arms goes forever" Roach stated
"I appreciate it, really. But unfortunately, job's not over yet" Izuku said seriously as they receive call from Shogun
"Task Force 141, this is Shogun. Good work on the safehouse. It is unfortunate that we unable to find Shigaraki and Re-Destro. But the intel you got will get us closer to hunt those assholes down. You all to land at RCNF Valkyrie before retasking" Shogun said
"Sir... what about 1st Lieutenant Nakamura?" Izuku ask
"...unfortunately, there's no resurrection this time. I'm sorry, Delta" Shogun said dejectedly
Izuku dejectedly nod "Understood, sir. What's our next orders?" Izuku decide not think about Kei too much
"Each teams have been given their individual instructions. You will receive your orders when you land on the boat" Shogun explain
"Solid copy" Izuku comply
"Task Force 141..." Shogun call them making everyone to look at the call seriously "...End this war. And good hunting" Shogun said seriously
"Ooh rah!" Task Force 141 comply

Izuku Midoriya have a quirk. His quirk is FPS HUD, First Person Shooter Heads Up Display 

Izuku Midoriya is a soldier. His family has been in the military for generations and he follow their footstep

This is the story on how Izuku Midoriya became both a soldier and a hero

*English is not my first language, so I apologize for any grammar mistakes you find

How will you survive when there are zombies everywhere? Would you only worry about your lives or will you try to save others too?

A dreary, overworked 24 year old woman seems to be at the end of her rope and her wits, until shes encounters a beast from another world! He shows her that not only is he the perfect man for her, but not everything is as it seems! The online novel, Mr. Sandman, is an ongoing romantic fantasy that will indeed leave you wanting more!

While Jackie stayed with his roommate, Francis mech was controlled in admirable sight. As shining of admiration began to swirling through most of the mech pilot mind, the imperator majestically stood out as if it was a true leader that leaded mech pilots as his subordinate.

"It feels alive, and more than live."

"This is marvelous, nope, more than that."

"We are one, we fight together until the end."

Despite the majority of mech used glow to regain spirit, the Imperial mech became renewed after Francis took his mech online. His unusual charm once again tested his subordinate to follow his way to fight.

"Stand by, prepare to sortie."

"I am ready."

Turned flight system online, Imperial mech with turbo engine moved forward into deep dark space. Handled a big rifle with ballistic on his back, he declared as his platoon waiting for him.

"We are hellhound to the sandman, we never let our Republic gone vain. Prove that we have a better is our way to fight! Keep our formation until the end."

"We follow your way, Lieutenant."

"Sandman incoming!!" scout shouted 

Without giving anything for mech pilot to fight carelessly, he initiated, "Prepare our trump card!"

Elsewhere, the anomaly started to appear on the dark side of Bentheim. When every civil took a great nap, Volari Starhawk took a lead in outer space.

"Fire at will!"

Novabreaker launched firepower into the young sandman fleet that got into their range.

Nobody surprised that enemies of Volari Starhawk were undoubtedly young. Its movement was so fragile that it was so easy for mercenary corp and detached military to surround it. 

Usually, Mech Corp only looked at them from afar or launched their ballistic bomb from afar. Now, that was changed. Thanks to the sandman drone, they did not make it easy anymore.

Spaceborn regiment took its way to detect one even the small creature. Different from the previous fight, they had to split into two groups, one for scout, and one to search and destroy. Once scout confirmed the sandman drone position, another group spotted them and launching their ballistic bomb among them.

"It is fortunate that damn drone won't cripple our position again."

"They are endless. just be aware, our sandman detector is not that good."

"Roger that."

When sandman got Mech Corp once, that did not mean they can get them twice!

To their expectation, more of young sandman rebelled against each other when they fight together. but at the same time, Mech Corp looked them as bait.

"Fire!"

The deliverer launched the beam from a distance as the target got the sandman good. 

One of the mech pilots looked surprised, "What!"

"Is that sandman want to merge?"

Unexpectedly, the young sandman took a massive hit to protect its comrade. Their cooperation with each other made Mech Corp had to reiterate their own strategy.

"HIT THEM DON'T LET THEM AWAY.", Captain ordered.

Volari Starhawk was alerted. Sandman became clever, meant it would become a big threat for Bright Republic if they let them away.

"We need reinforcement, commander. We need backup to handle two sandman fleet."

"Request accepted, we send you a reinforcement ETA 5 minutes."


Most Sandman did not care about their own race but that did not mean they would let their own race stepped without consent from the emperor!

Nobody knows when will they launched a massive drone attack into the entire fleet if they got a chance to do so.

"Chase them!"

"Roger, Engage!"

Mech pilot simultaneously attacked into sandman fleet without pause after detached from their battalion.

After sending them out, Captain Filix came out with suggestions, "We have to be aware our current tactic won't be enough."

The lieutenant colonel replied, "At our current stance, soldiers need to be aware that our ties with Bright Republic have not done yet." 

When higher-ups heatedly discussed their own strategy, Francis oversaw his platoon through sandman critical radius.

He smiled as he communicates with his compatriot.

"We are hell hound, don't lose it. We are a catastrophe for sandman! Sandra, Are you with me?"

"Roger Sir. We are beside you, sir."

"Keep that movement! You can do it! we destroy one before, We also can destroy two fleets"

The platoon took a crescent moon shaped formation as they took aim with their movement. Light mech cooperates with each other as mech pilot looked frosty against sandman.

They initiated its tactic to that extend until they called them Crescent moon tactic. Like flowing water in the space, they used mobility to get sandman surrounded without getting any leeway to react. 

Usually, escort used to approach a group of the mech to destroy its advantages but the lack of numbers ultimately made them could not protect the mothership. Sandman emperor decided to let the escort approach the platoon but it seemed their prediction was wrong.

There were more than them!

Another group sent a blast toward escort with sandbreaker into their flank and weakness of the sandman formation itself.

However, There was some weakness in using mech in the crescent moon tactic. The chance for a mech pilot to be trapped in sandman relatively high. That was why it needed royalty and rule initiation to made mech pilot to follow it.

Even though most of the mech used glow as support, most of them gained unprecedented loyalty to a better person who knew how to lead. Imperator mech was one of them. 

His way to fight and leading was almost made as if they faced imperator as a hero of honor. Most of them did not want to detach from Francis as they clearly maintained their formation in exceptional mobility.

When he tried to maintain his control, His move against the newly build neural interface seems better than before. He never feels any cram on his brain like he used to be. His mech was floating and followed up the attack with accommodated formation.

Francis smiled as he felt completely different and predicted his son may be surprised when he came back home after 5 years after his duty. He looked at his hand. His skin looked young brown but his appearance did not change like he was middle ages gentlemen.

He chuckled, "Is my damn boy wanted me to become a kid. Nope, I hope not." he instantly rejected that joke.

He had to fulfill his own assignment to do in the middle of space to protect the Bright Republic. When he tried to control his mech, it felt like his dream finally came true.

"That is what I want.."

His aim felt better with his own weapon. Also, the mech looked like a light of proclamation against sandman. Furthermore, he successfully steered a platoon to break sandman formation without giving some of them to breadth!

Lieutenant Colonel looked at Francis within projection live in an ambiguous look, "Is it my own or his control with his mech rising too fast!"

Lieutenant slowly regained his calm. He looked away behind his projection when he looked at the entire sandman fleet gather in a strange manner. They almost got so close after detached from a convoy as if they were getting reckless for some reason.

Did they want Bentheim so badly? perhaps not.

They got into range they supposed not into and without hesitation Mech Corp had to destroy or forcing their way, but sandman obviously won't cooperate.

"How about Francis? we still got his signal?" the colonel asked.

The lieutenant colonel replied, "Lieutenant Francis and his platoons make his way of destroying two sandman fleet, and we predict he still has the energy to destroy more."

"Call him back once he has done into five. After that, he can get some rest."

"Affirmative, sir."

Crescent moon formation that recently getting sandman into abnormal behavior you became out of luck and befuddled when they instantly occurred in another way.

It is as if Sandman could not even read their movement!

"Now, open fire at will!"

Sandbreaker launched their salvo attack into young sandman. After identified their movement, Sandman's behavior turned weird as if they did not know where their position from the last time they faced the Hellhound squad and detached squad.

Without giving chance a sandman to return their sand, they evaded it by charging from below and wounded its shell with ballistic. Sandman responsive that gone terrific turned out has disadvantage as long they used new tactic right.

The complication to use those tactics was relatively higher, the mech squad needed to maintain the same acceleration, same movement, and most of all, integration. 

It was absolutely hard to maintain formation in the space without giving any leeway to move around. Every mech pilot was different, and needed guidance and experience to ensure most of them did not lose their stance or their movement. Commander was thinking about that and expected less of 12 men were losing.

However, Francis broke that impossible barrier. Most of the results now Francis lead them well without sacrificing a mech pilot, not even one!

In front of the terminal, Lieutenant Colonel could not stop looking at the fast but small platoon and dispatched squad moved around the sandman fleet radius without pause. He never saw the great sight of performance against a sandman.

The squad of mechs leading by Francis turned around like a bee without giving any chance for the sandman to catch up. Obviously, the young sandman mothership was too big and did not have enormous control of sight without their big escort that relied on speed. 

Without them, the sandman mothership has only been a sitting duck that covered and using sand to grab once it got into their range but limited. That is the most crucial why speed and range were coherent in that situation.

That was also why sandman admiral did not get a good chance once their escort started to focus on another detachment as the small squad was being deployed as bait.

The tactic was so successful and this was the first time of all Bright Republic use a new tactic to handle a sandman and elevated its honor on Infernal Hellhound mech regiment!

After obtaining unique power, Jackie Larkinson aims to create expert pilot into his possession.

In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. Countless of lesser power of humanity have come to adopt mech as main weapon of war.

Thursday night Kaleen and Candice had gone to work unaware that Sandman and Ice had followed them and were lurking in the shadows behind the Rock House. Lying in wait for Seth to raise his ugly head. 

It’s three thirty Friday morning everyone had left the Rock House and only a few of the staff were leaving. 

‘See you later Kay.’ 

‘Laterz Seth.’ 

Kaleen and Candice walked away not knowing that they were being watched. Seth walked across the pavement outside the club. Sandman and Ice followed him with one eye whilst the other was fixed on the girls. 

They watched the girls disappear round the corner, Seth walked past the back of the club Sandman and Ice appeared from out of the shadows. 

‘Sandman, Ice I – I thought you were banged up?’ Seth said, stuttering. 

‘We were, but now itspayback time.’ Sandman said. Grinning. 

Ice walked to the back of Seth so there was nowhere to run, no escape. 

‘I aint done nothing.’ Seth replied his voice a little shaky. 

‘That aint what we heard is it bro?’ He said looking Ice straight in the eye. 

‘No it aint, so you better start talking.’ Ice said grabbing Seth by the scruff of his neck. 

‘I aint. Honest.’ 

‘Well we heard different didn’t we bro?’ 

‘Yeah we did.’ Ice said digging the knife’s blade into Seth’s back. ‘So you better start talking.’ 

‘Okay, okay as long as you promise not to kill me.’ He said his voice trembling shaking repeatedly. 

‘We promise don’t we bro!’ Sandman said. 

Ice winked at him to say ‘of course we promise, NOT!’ 

‘It was all his idea, Jaden, he said you deserved to be put away for what you did.’ 

‘So if he asked you to jump of a cliff you’d do it?!’ 

‘No, you deserved it after what you done to Kaleen and as for him he’s a freak he needed to be punished for even being there when you killed your parents. You pair of sick fuckers.’ 

‘We’re brothers when one feels pain the other does too we stick together.’ 

‘You picked a fight with the wrong guys Seth you really did.’ Ice added. Tightening his grip. 

‘What are you going to do to me?’ he asked his eyes full of tears his knees knocking together. His voice trembling with fear. 

‘Nothing…..yet!’ 

‘What!’ 

‘First I want to say something.’ 

‘What?’ 

‘Do you fancy Kaleen?’ 

‘Yeah-why?’ 

Sandman’s anger grew raged, his blood boiled his serious frown appeared. Ice dug the knife further in. 

‘She deserves better than you. With you out the way I thought there’d be a chance.’ 

Sandman shoved his face into Seth’s looking blank at him, his fluorescent eyes glazed. Seth’s lips trembled. 

‘Stay away from her!’ 

‘Why you aint her boyfriend.’ 

‘I’m back now. She’s mine no-one else can have her!’ Sandman said placing his hands into his pockets. 

‘What are you going to do?’ Seth asked his eyes following Sandman’s hands. 

Sandman pulled out two daggers holding them across one another slashing Seth across his chest. ‘Now stay away from her.’ 

‘Eat me!’ 

Ice manuvered the knife. 

‘You promised.’ 

 Ice moved forward whispered in Seth’s ear. ‘Guess what! We lied!’ Ice said jabbing the knife into his back, Seth’s face drained, turning pure white. 

Ice loosed Seth. The lifeless body dropped to the ground face first the knife standing straight in his back, Sandman and Ice walked away. 

Saturday night, Kaleen and Candice were at work. 

‘Where’s Seth?’ Kaleen asked Broaden. 

‘I aint saw him.’ 

‘Strange he’s usually here by now.’ 

‘He didn’t turn up for work last night either it’s not like him not to turn up he usually rings when he’s not coming in, and he hasn’t.’ 

‘I thought I hadn’t seen him last night.’ 

‘You two were close weren’t you?’ 

‘I wouldn’t go that far. We’re good friends that’s all.’ 

‘Well best get back to work he’s probably sick or something.’ Broaden said walking away. 

‘Yeah.’ Kaleen replied. ‘Shit I hope he didn’t bump into Sandman or anything he just knows how to get to me, and where my weaknesses are. I hope he didn’t kill him for what I told him.’ 

 

Kaleen walked dazed out of the staff room and behind the bar. 

Kaleen was unable to concentrate on work all night, her and Candice sat in the lounge after work unable to sleep they’d slipped away from Sandman and Ice and were sitting on the sofa having a coffee. ‘What’s up Kay?’ 

‘I don’t know how to say this but I don’t think that they came back to kill us.’ 

‘Then who?’ Candice asked curiously, sipping her coffee. 

‘Well the police came round a few days ago they’d found a body Jaden Brighton they said he worked with Sandman and Ice they seem to think that they killed him. I asked him but he denied it, now there’s Seth he hasn’t shown for work for the last couple of nights I think they killed him too.’ 

‘What are you going do?’ 

‘Confront them I suppose.’ 

‘Is that wise? 

‘I don’t know, but I need to know. I can’t take any more of this shit.’ 

‘I can’t take any more of this shit full stop.’ 

Kaleen grabbed her mobile. 

‘What are you doing?’ 

‘Calling Mark.’ 

‘Are you sure?’ 

‘He’ll know what to do.’ 

‘It’s ringing.’ 

‘You have reached Vodafone voice mail please leave a message after the beep.’ 

‘Shit the voice mail’s on.’ 

‘What are you going to do?’ 

‘Leave a message.’ 

Beep 

‘Mark it’s me phone the police Sandman’s back. DON’T COME ROUND, DON’T CALL ME OR ANY THING JUST CALL THE POLICE!’ she hung up and put the mobile back into her pocket. 

‘I need a fag.’ 

‘So do I.’ 

Candice reached into her bag for the box of cigarettes taking two out of the box, she passed one to Kaleen. 

‘Thanks.’ She said taking it off Candice placing it in her mouth lighting it. 

They both smoked there cigarettes and had their coffee, deciding they couldn’t face going to bed and sleeping next to Sandman and Ice they talked for a while then fell asleep on the sofa. 

Sunday afternoon Kaleen had decided to confront Sandman, but was it the right decision? 

Candice and Ice were sitting on the sofa in the lounge. Kaleen was pacing back and forth. 

‘Will you sit down you’re making me nervous.’ Ice said. 

She ignored him and continued pacing up and down. 

‘Kay sit down.’ Candice said. ‘You’ll wear a hole in the carpet.’ 

‘I can’t!’ she said turning facing Ice. ‘Where’s your brother anyway?’ 

‘I duknow, bathroom! You seem a little edgy today.’ 

‘If I do it’s your entire fault yours and your brothers.’ 

He held his hands up. ‘Sorry.’ He dropped his hands. ‘Just chill!’ 

‘Chill, I can’t chill I need to speak to him.’ Kaleen snapped. 

‘What about?’ A sleepy voice said. 

Kaleen jumped turned. ‘Sandman.’ She swallowed. ‘Didn’t hear you.’ 

‘Well.’ He said, looking straight at her. 

 She looked at him, not knowing where to start. 

‘What do you want to talk to me about?’ 

‘Was it you?’ 

‘Was what me?’ He asked not knowing what the hell she was going on about. 

‘You killed Jaden then you killed Seth didn’t you?’ she snapped. 

He walked forward. ‘Look I already told you I wouldn’t be still here if I did.’ He put his arms out to hug her. 

 She placed her hands in front of her to stop him. ‘Don’t touch me!’ 

‘Babe!’ 

‘Just don’t.’ She shrieked dropping her hands, looking at Candice. ‘Come on we’re out of here.’ 

Candice pulled herself up and walked over to Kaleen. 

‘Where are you going?’ Sandman asked, Ice jumped to his feet. 

‘Away from you! I can’t take this shit anymore, I can’t stand to be around you anymore!’ 

Kaleen and Candice headed for the door, Sandman leaped in front of the exit blocking them in. ‘You aint going anywhere!’ 

‘Yes we are!’ Kaleen snapped angrily. 

‘You aint going anywhere without us.’ 

‘Yes we are!’ 

‘No you’re not!’ He snapped back. 

Kaleen tried to go passed him he grabbed her wrist. ‘Let go of me!’ 

‘NO! We’re coming!’ 

‘No way!’ 

‘Yes way, now where’s the keys.’ 

‘In my bag.’ She replied almost in tears feeling like screaming out in pain his grip felt so tight. 

He grabbed her bag. ‘Where are they?’ 

‘In the side pocket.’ 

‘They better be!’ 

He searched through her bag, pulling out the cigarettes and lighter. ‘We’ll take these too.’ He said shoving them into his pocket, then delving once more into her bag. 

He finally grabbed the car keys. ‘Let’s go.’ He said, slinging the bag down. 

‘We aint going anywhere with you!’ Kaleen said, trembling, lips shaking. 

‘Yes you are or we’ll kill the both of you.’ 

She turned; Ice had wrapped his arms firmly round Candice a knife to her throat tears in her eyes tears of fear hoping that she’d choose the right answer to keep them both alive. 

She swallowed turned back to face Sandman. ‘Okay.’ 

‘Good choice. Come on let’s get out of here.’ He said dragging her out of the house with Candice and Ice following behind. 

He passed her the car keys, she tried three times to put the keys into the door her hands shaking. ‘Come on!’ Sandman snapped impatiently. 

‘I’m trying my best!’ She snapped opening the car door. She pulled the keys out of the key hole. Getting into the car shutting the door behind her. ‘I wish I could just leave, but I can’t leave Candice with them they’ll kill her!’ She leaned over pulling the lock up on both doors, they all got in to the car shutting the doors behind them. 

‘Let’s go.’ Sandman said, looking a little agitated. 

She put the key in the ignition it spluttered. ‘Shit!’ 

‘What’s up?’ 

‘It won’t start.’ 

‘Well try again!’ He snapped. 

She turned the key ‘come on, please start I want to live I don’t want to die!’ 

The car finally started she backed off the drive slipped into third and drove down the road. 

Ring –ring. 

 

‘What’s that?’ Sandman asked. 

Kaleen took her mobile out of her pocket, and pressed the answer call button. ‘Mark hi.’ 

‘Kay what’s going on? I’ve just got your message, why did you ask me to call the cops? What’s up?’ Mark asked cramming everything he wanted to say into one sentence not waiting for an answer to each question. 

‘Nothing.’ Kaleen said her voice shacking. 

‘What’s the matter Kay? You seem a little shaky.’ 

‘Nothing.’ Kaleen replied trying to concentrate on the road. 

‘Are you sure?’ 

‘Yeah I’m fine.’ 

‘You don’t sound fine.’ 

‘I am honest.’ 

Mark felt it was time to ask her what was really going on he could tell she was lying it was in the way she was speaking to him all jittery. 

Sandman grabbed the mobile off her slinging it out of the window. ‘Now he can’t talk to you anymore.’ 

‘Are you fucking crazy have you lost it? I was talking to him!’ Kaleen snapped. 

‘So!’ Sandman said bluntly. ‘You don’t need to talk to him anymore.’ 

‘He’s going to know something’s wrong now, are you crazy?’ 

‘NO! You are keep your eyes on the fucking road you’re making me nervous.’ 

‘As long as you get that away from me. You’re the one that’s making me nervous.’ 

‘Okay as long as you keep your eyes on the road!’ 

‘I will now get rid of it!’ 

He removed the knife away from her. Putting it into the glove compartment. 

She looked back. ‘Are you alright Candice?’ 

‘She’s fine.’ Ice replied. 

Kaleen looked at Candice tears rolling down her face a knife placed firmly on her throat. 

‘Put it down.’ 

‘Keep your eyes on the fucking road.’ Sandman snapped frantically. 

‘Not until he removes that thing.’ 

‘Bro move the fucking knife before we all fucking die!’ 

‘Sure.’ Ice said. 

Ice pulled the knife away from Candice’s throat putting it into his pocket. 

‘Thank you!’ 

‘Now keep your fucking eyes on the fucking road!’ Sandman snapped. 

She turned back. ‘What’s up Sandman my driving freaking you out?!’ 

‘A little, please just keep your eyes on the road.’ He said getting nervous and agitated. 

‘Where are we going?’ 

‘Just drive!’ He snapped. 

‘Take a chill pill I only wanted to know where we were going.’ 

‘I’ll tell you when we’re nearly there. Just drive!’ 

‘Okay.’ She replied tumbling round. 

‘What are you doing now?’ He asked nervously. 

‘Looking for some tunes’ He replied. ‘I can’t drive without any tunes it helps me to concentrate.’ 

‘Keep your eyes on the road I’ll look.’ Sandman said giving her one of his frowns. 

‘Sure.’ She replied fixing her eyes back onto the road. 

He opened the glove compartment scanning through the CD’s. ‘Aint you got any decent tunes?’ 

‘There’s some Metallica in there somewhere.’ She said. 

Sandman finally found some decent tunes he slipped the CD into the player and pressed the play button. After skipping a few tunes Enter sandman started playing. 

‘How appropriate what a CD to choose just right for you this song aint it?!’ 

He smiled, turned his head. ‘Are you two okay? Is this okay for you?’ 

Ice stuck his thumb in the air as he was busy giving Candice mouth to mouth he rapped his arm round her. 

Sandman turned back. ‘Looks like they’re having fun!’ he said placing his hand on Kaleen’s leg leaning forward kissing her neck. 

‘Get your hands off me!’ she snapped. 

He shot back frowning at her, she felt his eyes burning through her. 

‘Sorry I can’t concentrate.’ 

He moved away, slumping into the seat, his hands placed firmly on her leg. 

‘And that hand I can’t think straight knowing it’s there.’ 

‘Sure.’ He said. Slightly upset, but he didn’t want her to crash the car. He removed his hand off her leg and pulled his cap over his eyes.

At the scene he saw that one car had been hit head on by another vehicle. The latter with less damage had a person exit the drivers side. An annoyed stout little man came out in the easily recognizable construction uniform. The large man appeared fine but the other car had no motion within. In a panic Mr. Sandman leaped forward and with incredible strength ripped damaged driver side door. A panic stricken face slowly turned towards him with wide eyes and an agape mouth. 

The shocked individual was still holding onto the steering wheel with whitened knuckles and his seat belt still on as the sudden releasing of the airbag hit his face. The sight although scary seemed comical. With the persons hands still clasping the wheel with outstretched fingers their face was smushed against the head rest still facing Mr. Sandman. His glasses were set askew across his brows allowing Mr. Sandman to see his eyes clearly. With the left eye in a light green tone it offset his pale face with red freckles splattered here and there. His right eye in an icy blue tone it complimented his curly red hair at the very top of his head. Finally letting go the person looked at Mr. Sandman tearfully, "Please help me escape this air fueled torture device?" 

Spurred into actions by his words Mr. Sandman pushed back the airbag with a light force and unbuckled the persons seat belt and helping them out of the car. Dusting themselves off Mr. sandman could clearly tell the person was a male though he barely looked it. Setting his glasses straight across the bridge of his small nose the man- no boy, asked, "Sir, could I request your name in order to thank you for your assistance in helping me escape my vehicle." 

"It was no biggie and uhm... my name... is..." Mr. Sandman responded quickly but began to hesitate as he struggled to make up a name. Then he came up with one and quickly spit it out. "Spencer. Spencer V. Maier at your service."

The scrawny red-head had a small smile and responded joyfully, "Issac John Stewart at yours-"

"If ya'll are done lolly gagging I need your insurance card so you can cover the damages *YOU* caused ME." A gruff voice interrupted. They both turned to look at him. Spencer spoke first being a confrontational being, 

"Pardon me, sir, however I believe that you crashed into young Isaac here." The rough looking man frowned and muttered to himself, "Damn, stupid witness!" 

With the help of Spencer, Isaac got the man's insurance and contact information and called his own insurance immediately to report the incident. After getting everything solved they called the auto shop to tow his car to the shop for repairs. Isaac seemed totally capable of all this himself but Spencer felt the need to look after this young man. He seemed the type of person others would easily take advantage of. People like that- Isaac and Lila- they needed to be protected from people like that gruff construction worker. People that would walk all over them. 

After everything was figured out Spencer looked at Isaac in a sideways manner before asking, "So where do you live? I don't have a car myself but I would like to walk you to make sure no one else crashes into you and tries to blame you for it." Isaac looked at him quizzically before looking down and pushing up his glasses. Sheepishly and blushing as though embarrassed Isaac pointed to the house left of Lila's and said softly, 

"There." Without thinking to much about it he smoothly responded, 

"Well then, Hello Neighbor." with an easy going smile.

An ordinary girl, Lila discovers new adventures after one night when she sung a mystical song that brought forth a mystical being to her side. After his arrival strange occurrences begin to happen around her and she begins to wonder, "Is this all just a dream?"

Her childhood is far from being all sunshines and rainbows. Grace Hermoine Williams is a product of a broken childhood. She witnessed how her family falls apart at a very young age when she was taken to the city where her biological parents reside. Years later, she was betrayed by the person she thought will be her future. With her heart shredded into pieces, she goes back to the place where she once experience the happiness she lost. Arriving on her grandparent's farm, she comes across an old friend from her childhood. Damien Smith believes in promises and when his friend left, she promised to him that she will come back. As soon as the fates intertwined their paths again, they go into a journey that brings them into a world who treats them as outsiders.

Once upon a time, humanity only fought wars against themselves. Fighting for resources and the rights for their people, humanity brought destruction to the world around them. Everything was for the sake of profit. Killing and pillaging were normal and hidden from the mass.
But things had changed over the past few years. Humans who gained different abilities started to show themselves from different parts of the world without any scientific explanation.
Worried by the sudden changes, the governments and the powerful secret organizations around the world started to gather and control the people who have stranger powers to maintain the status quo.
Another year had passed since the dawn of the new beginning. One day when everything was starting to settle down, the skies of the world started to form fractures. The governments and secret organizations sent their own elite soldiers to scout -- but no one returned.

Everyone from World Government to the secret organizations had their own meetings and agendas. "We all have to come to an agreement to send the strongest people we have. We need to treat this matter with utmost importance. Or we will suffer the consequences."

Far from the sources of conflicts and politics. A figure could be seen resting underneath a sakura tree. It was a young man, who was making fun of the twins who were sleeping soundly on his lap.
"Wake up sleepyheads. It's time to wake up, and I still need to prepare our dinner." He nudged them but they just simple slapped his hand away.
They simultaneously said, "Just one more minute, Atlee~"
He said with a laugh, "Atlas, not Atlee... Well nevermind..."
Looking at his little angels sleeping, he eventually fell asleep as the gentle winds brushed past the trees making their leaves fall to the Earth.
