How It All Started

"He's dead, right?"

"What makes you think it's a he? It could be a female you know?"

"Yeah, but he must be dead, right? Stuck inside that thing for like millions of years, how could the organs still function?"

The debate between the girls went on intensely as they were discussing an ancient fossil of a fly that got trapped in tree sap.

The fly looked dead so their assumption was reasonable.

"Okay everyone, let's focus here!" Neil, the host and also the guide of the trip summoned every student.

There are roughly 15 students in the middle of the hall.

"So, we have finished the Ancient Dinosaurs' Area, we've seen a lot of giant animals from the Cretaceous Era, I told you about their fossils, the names of the dinos, how they were discovered along with some fun facts."

While he was speaking, some students weren't paying attention, they whispered to each other about the giant T-Rex's Bone Fossil in the middle of the Hall.

It looked so majestic that they couldn't avert their eyes away from it.

"I know that you don't like me talking a lot, so we're gonna have a break for about 10 minutes, in that time you can go wherever you want, see whatever you want but don't touch anything! And after that, we will continue the visit. Understand?!"

"Yes..." They responded with excitement despite their tone, they seemed to be tired of following him every single step.

"Good, now I need to go pee-pee."

Everyone now can do anything they want, some go to the toilet like Neil, and others go to observe artifacts and read fact posters, but most of them focus on the T-Rex Fossil.

Before they were only able to see dinosaurs through movies and shows like Jurassic Park but never thought to be this massive.

They were all overwhelmed with the greatness and magnificence of that skeleton. Some even attempted to climb in to get a closer look.

Meanwhile, Brent got bored of the crowd and decided to go somewhere else.

In general, the atmosphere at the museum is very bustling, but no one is aware of the chaos happening outside.

At that place, people have finally understood that something terrible is coming. When the doctor told the president his assumption when he checked the bodyguard's state.

"No, you are joking, right? Is this a prank?" The president appears not to believe in what the doctor says regardless of what he has seen.

The doctor was panting, and shaking, he was really panicked but trying his best to stay calm.

"How can this be a joke? Can't you see that he's bleeding?!!"

"Sir, we need to go now!" The bodyguard's experiences told him that something had gone wrong, really wrong, as a result, he asked the president to leave with them to a safe location.

"Wait a minute..."

He decided not to leave yet because of his doubt about a sound he heard a few seconds ago. But just as he finished his sentence, another 'whoosh' emerged.

The President turned back only to realize that the doctor gained a hole in his head, bleeding from the skull.

"Oh no... There's... There's a sniper!!" He shouted to the people.

Everyone began to panic as they realized they were in a very dangerous situation, and they started rushing for safety.

The crowd turned into chaos in a matter of seconds, with people running in all directions.

Some people even fell when they tried to run, but others didn't care about them, they just kept running even if they had to step on these people.

When everyone is running for their lives, the cops and bodyguards remain calm and do their job.

The police were armed with firearms and had helicopter support to help locate the sniper, while the president's bodyguards escorted him to a safe location, covering him with their bodies and loading him into the car.

But even with the highest defense, they couldn't protect the president from him, the man who started this.

The sniper, who is hiding on the rooftop of a building, still aiming at the president and ready to take another shot.

His body is covered with a camouflage barrier, a high-tech tool that creates a field that bends light and makes him invisible.

So even with the assistance of a helicopter, the police are still unable to locate him.

"Two." As he's counting for the kills.

The sniper keeps aiming his target, holds the sniper rifle tightly, and then pulls the trigger.

The muzzle exploded a small blue spark, the bullet came out at 5 times the speed of sound, traveled in silence before hitting the target, and made another "whoosh".

Another bodyguard has been shot, the ones left with the president are his driver and his secretary.

Things have gone very bad since they cannot determine the location of the sniper and are unable to protect the president even though they have put their lives on the line.

Luckily, the president got into the car before the sniper could take another shot. They can finally take him to safety.

"That's enough Kosho! We will take care from here."

Kosho, the sniper, slowly puts the sniper rifle on his back and stands up. He looks up into the blue sky, takes a deep breath, and sighs.

"The world is changing."

The president's escort car is driving away from the square, followed by police cars leading up to and behind the convoy to provide coverage.

Things became even more difficult when they had to avoid civilian vehicles as well. But for now, they can finally sigh in relief...

At least, that's what they think.

From behind them, running out from the intersection are multiple mini trucks that were loaded with armed men.

A guy standing on one of the trucks, holding an RPG on his shoulder, aiming at the police cars, and pulling the trigger, an orange glow flashes from the muzzle before the rocket launches and creates shockwaves that shake the ground.

The rocket exploded below a police car, shooting it into the air, spinning, falling, and crashing with another police car.

Some officers attempted to retaliate by leaning against the car windows and using their pistols.

But it was no use; the chasers' rifles were so powerful that some officers were shot before they could even fire back.

The reason why their weapon is so dangerous is that it doesn't make a loud noise, but silently hits your body and kills you.

One by one, the defense around the president's car got weaker as every single man who try to protect him got killed brutally.

They even tried to cut their tails by turning left and right many times, but to the terrorists, it was like a cat chasing a hopeless mouse.

They fought back in vain as every police car got blown up and turned upside down until the president's car was the only one left.

The president's driver is starting to anxious, he was wondering why there is no air support at all, shouldn't armed helicopters have arrived by now?

But it was just a thought that came to his mind, now he needed to refocus on getting the president to a safe place first.

He looks at the things in front of him to see what he can do to help themself out of this hopeless circumstance. But it seems impossible to survive...

"I have an idea!"

He's pointing to an under-construction building, specifically to the scaffolding.

The president and the secretary in the back row have no idea what he's talking about, but they know that he has come up with a plan.
