When you wake up on a day, about you happen to know, it is Wednesday and everything around reminds you on Sunday, you start to contemplate that something is not completely alright.
I have felt it that way ever since the moment I woke up. Everything seemed to lead against me and the fact that I am wrong – not the others, even though I couldn´t understand how it can be. Thawned in doubts, forthcoming things I awaited. Finally, I got bit of an objectiv evidence – somewhere in the span, clock clanged eight o´clock, at least I thought it was eight times the iron hit the bell .. Another clock clanged eight times as well. By this time, I knew, that something very important must have happend.
The fact the I missed the end of the world – well, the end of the world which I have known for the period of 22 years – it was a pure coincidence, like almost every fortunate escape or retreat, call it however you want. As it is, many people are lying in hospital due their physical sometimes psychical wounds and as a matter of luck and fortuity, I am one of them. It could have happened one week earlier and I wouldn´t write these lines, I wouldn´t be here, nowhere near this location. I belive that Lady Fate wanted me to be here, now at this time, in this place – but with bandaged head? Nevertheless, this morning I have been very anxious and confused about the whole situation, because I knew that at 7:03 AM a beautiful nurse should walk in my sterile white room with my soo delicious hospital food, yet she was not present. Doctors belive that my injury is quite serious and that I shouldn´t walk nor stay away from the bed. They ordered me to not move [despite my objections] and leave everything to my personal care-taker, the sweet and luscious nurse. She even took care of my hygiene, which was very confortable for a young woman like me. The only thing I needed to is to keep my hormones calmed down. The absence of her soft teen-like hand was quite unnatural and it was always an omen of my breakfast.
This day has been very strange so far and it has only started. I do not wish to know what Destiny has got planed for me for this day.
I have gone through hell and I am only 22, how equitable is it? It all started when I was a member of an elite squad, „Sébium“ they called us, in Kusanagi town – world´s biggest scientific and spec ops center. Scientists from all over the world had gathered in this town to support the infamous ,,Bahamut Project“. Four years ago, a young pair of travelers found a huge sleeping creature in an underground cavern in the southern border of Dash Desert, few miles away from the Kusanagi town. They reported it immediately to the main research building located in the very middle of the town, surounded by green gardens varnished with white roses and a big square, which was mainly used for relaxation and as a escape destination when you needed some rest from the hard work. In a matter of hours, the whole area around the cave district was full of white runing-around-coats and green marshing groups of soldiers.
I do not know exactly how they woke the creature up, but I do know that it wasnt hostile, at all. Army withdrawed back to the city, but always ready to strike. The dragon alike being, Bahamut allowed them to observe it, it even allowed them to take few samples for laboratory experiments.
For my liking, it was too friendly. ,,Creature like that, could take out the whole city within a few minutes“, I told myself back then. I trusted no one and definetly not that overgrown lizard, Bahamut.
One day, a small group of generals, [I dont who they were, maybe poeple from NSA, Navy, NASA .. I honestly dont know and I belive they didnt want anyone else to know it either. ] and highly respected scientists along with few doctors went to the cavern area and thats when it all started. I remember exactly what I was doing when the red ligh alarm started to distract my attention. I was lying on my standart army type bed with a blue sheet over the mattress. You didnt need anything else, since the temperature was controled by the main computer, so basicly, you could sleep naked and you wouldnt be cold for the whole night. Sometimes, it pays to be a member of an elite group. I was reading my newest book I bought that day in the local market, I dont recall the name of the book, but Im pretty sure it was about a forbidden relation between a young girl and a guy who had somekind of a problem, probably handicap .. I do remember a little from the book, but if you would read a part of it, I would recognize it..
I took my time, I didnt hurry. I slowly got up on my feet, put on standart army boots, specialy designed for our team with some fancy add-ons, like thermoregulation and sharp sides for possible face to face combat. We are skilled for any combat, either it is face to face, shooting, sniping .. we also have to know Aikido, Teakwondo and any other additional martial art fighting technique. We don´t learn those styles for self defense, but for slaughtering. We dont take hostages. Our team is something like a ,,Annihilation Squad“ .. I wonder who pays our actions.
Then I put on my 5th Generation cevlar body armour stuffed with extra light adamant polycarbon fibers. The weight of the whole suit is around 5 kg, which is very confortable in action. All set up for the briefing followed by departure I grabed on my ,,oldie“ 9mm H&K, than my father gave me as a present or a reward for making it into this group. It is still in perfect shape, with a laser and a silencer. Even though it looks very oddly compared to my hyper velocity pulse rifle, I like every inch of it. Call it nostalgy, but I has never failed in action, 100/100 is my score with this ,,Death Messanger”.
I walked out of my temporary room to a long vestibule, which led to every location in this town. It was something like this plactic tubes, they use for delivering post, lettlers or any important documents. I took the first turn left and walked along the gangway approximately for 5 minutes. Finally, I arrived to the ops center where the briefing has already started.
Our mission was simple, maybe too simple for a group like us - we were supposed to transport the generals and any other people who would be with them, back to the city in the shortest possible time period.
Leader of the team asked the general:,,Why are you sending my men there? This is an oridinary transport, isnt it? So, why would you need us?”
General remained silent and walked out of the room ..
After this quite strange apperance from the general´s side, we managed to get into the transport ship and leave the city within 2 minutes. We had no intentions on giving this mission more time that it needed .. such a piffle paffle mission.
Since this mission isn´t as important and serious as the rest of the ,,quests” we had before, the leader, Zero, picked three guys and one girl for this. There was Kyo, Iori, K´ and a beatiful new teammate, Seraph. She was very attractive, even in the body armour .. As Iori was ready to ask her a question, the pilot calmly said ,, I see smoke, lots of smoke” in the mouthpiece, as it would be nothing.
We immediately jumped up and went to the cockpit, to look at whats happening down there.
,,There, down there!” said Kyo
I looked the way he pointed and saw a dead, torn body of a human, probably doctor, due his blue clothes.
,,Take us down!” Iori ordered.
The Enemy
We landed on the highest place that was available at the moment within one mile rage around the cavern. This way, we could cover and see the area around the cave with an ease. Iori is an excellent sniper so, if we engaged an enemy, he would wipe them out in a few moments. They wouldn’t even notice that someone is firing at them. Once, he killed ten people who were chasing us in five seconds. The last terrorist was dead before the first victim touched the ground - he was still falling. He has always been the ,,Eye upon Us”, our guardian ..
Kyo, K´ and I went to look at the dead body, we saw from the air. We needed to know what happened to him .. either he was shot or attacked by some wild animal. If he would be shot, then we would shoot at everything that moves, unless the target would identify his/herself with a special electronic card. We were in a restricted area, bacause of the ,,Bahamut Project” and every single person who went to this site, needed this kind of a card. With us around, it was the only thing that could let you live another few days.
As I said, we went to see the doctor and as we arrived, we couldn’t belive our eyes. The whole skeleton was broken into thousand pieces and the meat and skin was chewed like the food they give to old people, so they can actually eat it.
,,WRROOOAWW!”
,,Whats that?!”, Kyo asked with noticable anxiety in his voice.
,,How the heck am I suppopse to know that?!”, I replied.
,, We should see whats going on .. “, valiantly I said and started to walk towards the cave entrance.
To be continued ..

As I said in the end, this is my first fiction from three years ago and I didn´t really bother with the spelling.
I know, I could have corrected it, but ... *stretches arms* lazy ...
I have more and better fictions I´d like to post.
Oh, by the way, English is my third language so, have mercy with me.
End of Topic.
