My War: The Warpath Of My Own Life

The Encounter

Chapter 2: The Encounter

"What the hell just happened?"

Lieutenant John Brody wonders while being stuck, he cannot move, cannot say anything, cannot scream, his entire point of view is black, he breathed hard like a man is about to die, in the time he struggling with his problems, a voice from somewhere comes out to his ears:

"Lieutenant John! Lieutenant John! Wake up! Wake up!

That's Sergeant Grey's voice, he is in panic, trying to save John's life by calling him.

"Hooh! Haah! Haah! What has just happened to me?" - John suddenly wakes up, looking around him and his men, he realizes that the sky is now very dark, it took him a few seconds to stand up with Sergeant Grey's help, he feels his body very heavy, like a person who luckily passes a sleep paralysis.

"What about everyone else?" - John looked around

"Everyone else is fine sir! You were the only one who got in this situation!" - Sergeant Grey replied John

"Our unit is still full of 24 soldiers including you, no one is missing or is in the same condition like you earlier except that some of them felt panic after the sun and everything suddenly went dark for no reason." - Sergeant Grey continues

John looks at the soldiers behind him, look likes the his platoon is still alright and full, some soldiers come to him and ask him if he's not feeling well, about Igor and his men, he didn't give a word for him.

John takes a lighter from his pocket and lights it up, the scenery around him is very dark, he raises his left hand to see what time it is as his daily habit though the watch itself has stopped working and he realizes the watch is now run again, he calls his soldiers to check their watches and suprisingly that all of their watches also running again.

"Strange! What does it mean?" - John wonders

"If I remember correctly, the first sun rise was about 20 minutes ago, and now the whole sky still dark like this!"

Suddenly, the sun starts rising up the sky but with a very fast speed, in about 10 seconds, it has now in the middle of the sky, means it's already noon, then the sky goes a normal speed like nothing happened.

While John was wondering all of these strange phenomena, behind him, his soldiers are now panicking about where they are.

"Where the hell is this place?" - A soldier screams in panic

"We were just at an open plains, and now we are in a middle of the forest, how can this happened?" - Sergeant Grey also wonders, he didn't panic but he feels something unsual.

"Everyone calm down! There's nothing to fear here, look around you, the helicopter, the convoy truck, the tank and 2 Humvee cars are still here with us, there're also the supply of this extraction point." - John calming his soldiers

"Private Taylor, make a radio contact to our headquarter immediately!" - John orders Private Taylor

"Sir! Yes sir!"

" Warhead 5-5, this is Warpath 2-1, over!"

"Warhead 5-5, this is Warpath 2-1, please answer"

"No one responds, sir!" - Private Taylor nervous

"Then we have to move on our own, we didn't know much about the area we're in yet, at first we will move to the south, I see this area is not really hard for our vehicles to go, we will move down the low grounds, we're in the hard time situation so let's stick together, Lieutenant Dan, you and Private Fal will take the point, use your helicopter to patroling around, if you see anything unsual, report to me"
