PROTOGEN ( NEW CIVILIZATION)

Part 15---New preparation for war---

Location: Hospital
Time: 00:00 Midnight

After the brutal firefight, Amar was unknowingly wounded by Arzina. He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors worked tirelessly to save him. Following the surgery, Amar was transferred to a recovery room, where Robin sat at his bedside. For two and a half hours, Robin watched Amar, hoping for any sign of life.

Robin: (whispering) "Don't give up, Amar... You can't leave me now, not after everything."

His heart was heavy with fear, sadness, and frustration. He held Amar's hand, praying silently, desperate not to lose his friend.

The door creaked open, and a doctor entered.

Robin: "Doctor! How is he?"

Doctor: "I came to give you an update. Your friend is stable, but... he's in a coma."

Robin: (relieved but worried) "Thank God... But when will he wake up?"

Doctor: "His condition is critical. He lost a significant amount of blood. I can't tell you when, or even if, he'll wake up... But we'll monitor him closely and let you know."

Robin: "Can I stay with him a little longer?"

Doctor: "He needs rest, and it's important that we limit his visitors for now."

Reluctantly, Robin stood up and stepped out of the room, defeated. He slumped onto the cold floor in the hallway, leaning against the wall with his head in his hands. He couldn't stop thinking about what had happened—and what still needed to be done.

Moments later, General Daniel approached.

General Daniel: "Good evening, Robin. Why are you sitting on the floor? The benches are right there."

Robin remained silent, lost in his thoughts.

General Daniel: "I know this is hard. Your friend is strong—he'll make it. But right now, I need you to focus."

Robin finally looked up.

General Daniel: "Come with me."

Robin stood, and the two walked quietly down the corridor.

General Daniel: "Robin... where did all those weapons come from? That stash you had in the house?"

Robin: (calm but bitter) "When I was still in the army, I took a few weapons every day. Just in case... in case something like this happened."

General Daniel: "No wonder we were running low on supplies... But let's put that aside for now. We captured the two soldiers from behind the house—both wounded and exhausted."

Robin's demeanor shifted immediately, his hands clenching into fists. Rage boiled inside him.

Robin: (through gritted teeth) "Where are they?"

General Daniel: "Why do you ask?"

Robin: "WHERE. ARE. THEY?"

General Daniel hesitated, sensing the fury in Robin's voice.

General Daniel: "Room 341. End of the hall."

Robin stormed off, his steps heavy with anger. He reached Room 341 and kicked the door open violently.

General Daniel: "Robin! Calm down!"

Robin ignored him, marching straight toward the soldier lying on the bed. He grabbed the man's collar and yanked him forward.

Robin: "Who sent you?"

The soldier remained silent, his eyes cold and defiant.

Robin: "WHO SENT YOU?!"

Still no answer. Robin's patience snapped. He walked over to a small table, picked up a knife, and held it against the soldier's throat.

General Daniel: "Robin, stop! This isn't the way."

Robin: "They're traitors, Daniel! This is the only way."

The soldier's eyes widened in fear, but he remained stubbornly silent. Robin pressed the blade closer.

Robin: "I'm asking one last time... Who sent you?"

Suddenly, the soldier spoke, but in a foreign language.

General Daniel: "You're wasting your time, Robin. He's not even speaking our language."

Robin narrowed his eyes and replied fluently in the soldier's native tongue.

Robin: "NDIANI AKAKUTUMA KUNO NDINOKUBVUNZA!" (Who sent you here, I ask you!)

The soldier's bravado crumbled, and he stammered in fear.

Soldier: "Nordan andituma." (Nordan sent me.)

Robin: "KO NORDAN IYO ANODA CHII?!" (What does Nordan want?!)

Soldier: "Amar... shamwari yako... timirira." (Your friend... Amar.)

Robin's grip on the knife tightened.

Robin: "UNODA CHII NESHAMWARI YANGU? MHINDURO!" (What do you want with my friend? Answer!)

Soldier: "Nordan anoda kuti Amar amubate amuunze ari sukum." (Nordan wants Amar alive, to bring him to him.)

Robin: "Hwaro kaiko huripi?" (Where is your base?)

The soldier, trembling, answered:

Soldier: "Hwaro hwedu... kheda yendege isiri kure neguta rako... kodhi zita — dhiragoni nhema." (Our base is an airport not far from your city, code name — Black Dragon.)

Robin slammed the knife into the bed next to the soldier's head, making him flinch and cry out in terror.

General Daniel: (stunned) "How do you know their language?"

Robin: (coldly) "I come from them... but I serve this country."

General Daniel: "What did he say?"

Robin: "Nordan wants Amar alive. Their base isn't far—it's the airport, code name Black Dragon."

Robin turned and headed toward the door.

General Daniel: "Robin! Where are you going?"

Robin: "To surprise them."

General Daniel: "Alone? Without any backup?"

Robin: "So what?"

General Daniel stepped in front of him, blocking his path.

General Daniel: "And what about Amar?"

Robin paused, conflicted but determined.

Robin: "Daniel... gather the army. We attack at sunrise—court-martial or not."

General Daniel: "But..."

Robin: (with finality) "Now. Or they'll keep hunting us until they catch him."

The general sighed heavily, realizing there was no changing Robin's mind.

General Daniel: "This is the last favor I'll do for you."

He pulled out his radio and gave the order.

General Daniel: "This is General Daniel. Mobilize the troops. Target: enemy base, code name Black Dragon. Attack begins at dawn."

Robin stood silently, gripping his weapon. The mission was set. When the sun rose, they would end this—once and for all.
