Flashback I
The atmosphere was heavy with sorrow as missing posters adorned every available space on the walls. The photographs of loved ones stared back, a haunting reminder of those who had disappeared without a trace. Desperate family members and friends clung to the faint hope that their dear ones would be found, their eyes filled with tears as they gazed upon the haunting images.
Amidst the despair, a breaking news report blared on television screens across the city. The anchor's voice trembled with concern as they announced yet another disappearance. Arika Nakamagi, a 25-year-old woman, had vanished while walking alone in the woods. Witnesses reported seeing a mysterious light hovering from the horizon just before her disappearance.
The news sent shockwaves through the community, fueling fear and confusion. People demanded answers, seeking solace in the midst of an unsettling mystery. The secretary of the Defence Minister, deeply troubled by the increasing number of disappearances, summoned representatives from the police department and the military for an urgent meeting.
Voices filled the room with a sense of urgency and frustration. The secretary demanded an explanation for the baffling disappearances, seeking any leads or clues that could shed light on the situation.
The police department representative stepped forward, their expression heavy with concern. "Sir, we don't have all the answers yet, but we have noticed a common thread in each disappearance—the presence of a bright light from the horizon just before the person vanishes. It seems there is a connection between the appearance of this light and the sudden disappearance of individuals."
The room fell into a contemplative silence as the significance of the information sank in. The secretary's gaze shifted towards the military representative, a glimmer of hope flickering in their eyes. "What are we going to do about it? We can't let this continue. Lives are at stake."
The military officer stood tall, exuding confidence amidst the uncertainty. "Sir, we have already initiated a plan to address this dire situation. Our most skilled soldier, codenamed 'King,' is currently on a mission to uncover the truth behind these disappearances."
The secretary's brows furrowed with concern. "But where is he? We need him here to discuss the plan."
Unbeknownst to the room's occupants, King, the highly trained and courageous soldier, found solace near a serene pond. Engrossed in the act of fishing, he reveled in the tranquility of the surroundings. Little did he know that his world was about to be shattered by the presence of the mysterious light from the horizon.
As the gentle ripples disturbed the calm surface of the pond, King's attention was drawn to the radiant glow that emanated from afar. In a heartbeat, his senses sharpened, and he instinctively understood that he had been thrust into a mission of utmost importance.
With a swift motion, he abandoned his fishing gear, his mind focused on the urgency of the situation. He sprinted towards the source of the light, his well-honed instincts guiding him through the unknown. As he approached a nondescript building, he could sense an otherworldly presence lurking within.
With each step, the atmosphere grew more ominous. King's heart pounded in his chest, his body poised for action. He burst through the doors of the building, and what lay before him was a sight that would forever be etched into his memory.
The lab was a scene of chaos and horror. Human bodies lay motionless, some lifeless while others were gruesomely dismantled yet still clinging to the last vestiges of life. And amidst the carnage, aliens moved
with an air of malevolence, their presence undeniable.
King's training kicked in, his focus sharpening as he assessed the situation. He knew he had to act swiftly to save any survivors and uncover the truth behind this invasion. Without hesitation, he engaged in a fierce battle, utilizing his skills and resourcefulness to combat the otherworldly threat.
