The Island of Devils

Chapter 1

Blue skies appeared, with some crows flying past. "Hey..." A weak voice said.

A young boy was lying on the ground, blood on his head. He stretched an arm to the sky. He was wearing a white uniform and a yellow armband.

"It's dangerous here..." The boy muttered. Around him, a lot of soldiers are lying dead.

"Fly away..." A man was sent flying away by an explosion. "...somewhere... far away."

"Falco!" Just then, two young men rushed over to him and the blonde-haired one yelled.

"Huh? What's my brother and Mr. Kruger doing here?" Falco wondered.

"Good! You're still talking!" Falco's brother said while putting the hat on him.

"Colt! Kruger!" A soldier ran past and shouted at them, but he was shot in the end.

Kruger put Falco on his back and said, "It is not safe here, we need to run."

A machine gun shot several bullets at Colt and the others, who were trying to run away. Two of the soldiers beside Colt and Kruger were shot. Kruger was also shot in the face as he groaned in pain. 

"Kruger!" Colt yelled in horror.

"I'm fine. Just run!" Kruger yelled.

Both of them screamed as they continue running, and they fell before they were by their war trench.

"Falco!" Luckily, a soldier by their side grabbed Falco into the war trench.

Two soldiers approached Colt. "Colt? Status report?"

Colt was panting heavily. "It was a direct hit. The Eldian unit at the front got blown away."

"And the trench?"

"It's hopeless! We can't dig any farther!"

"We can't? You're calling the shots? An Eldian, giving orders?"

"Watch your tone with Commander Magath, you mutt!" The soldier behind Magath yelled.

"But.. at this rate..." Three young kids were standing in front of Falco, looking worried and serious.

"Falco, are you drunk?" The girl on the right asked him.

"He must've hit his head good." The girl in the middle stated.

"Do you remember this war we've been in for four years?" The boy on the left asked him.

"Who... are you guys?" Flaco asked with pain and confusion. "Wait... Huh? Wasn't I flying around with a sword just now? Like, whoosh! And there were Titans that I-"

At the same time, a soldier rushed toward Kruger, she was a girl with short black hair. "Kruger, are you alright?"

"I'm fine... Miki..." Kruger said to her. "Give me the bandages..."

The soldier named Miki nodded as she helped him tied half of his face.  At the same time, Gabi splashed water on Falco's head. "Guess I'll just have to explain everything from the start. Listen up good, Falco. This battle is the climax of a war that's lasted four years."

A crow flew across the land towards a Fort. "If we can take out Fort Slava... Well, technically, if we can sink the Mid-East Allied Forces in this port...it'll spell victory for Marley and end the war."

The scene changed to Fort Slava with soldiers walking around. "But unless we take out Fort Slava sitting on the high ground, it's hopeless to attack the port."

Udo and Zofia were treating Falco's wounds. "Why can't the Marley fleet just do it?"

"Seriously, Zofia?! You have faith in the fleet?! It took those imbeciles four years to control the seas!" Udo yelled at her while squeezing the bandages around Falco's head tightly.
