The Beginning Of The End

A Slaughter Ensues

And so they went, everyone who could fight had charged at the Zs. " psst, Andrew. Let's follow them. I wanna see them kick some ass!" " Fine, but we are not fighting and we will stay out of sight". When we arrived we were hoping to see a big pile of dead Zs. But we got the opposite. We saw dead bodies everywhere. But, there was still a fight going on. " Andrew, let's go check that out, maybe they need help!" So we approached the fight and saw General Garren. He was the last alive of our fighters and he wasn't going down without a fight. " General, we came to help!" I yelled, hoping he could hear me. " John, Andrew? I thought I told you guys to stay in the village!" When me and Andrew started yelling back, the Zs shifted from him to us. " Boys, run! Il hold then back. Get to the village and don't come out until you boys can fight!" And so we ran, we left General Garren there and we ran. We made it back to our village, only to realize that me and Andrew were the only ones left. Everyone, slaughtered by that pack of Zs. All of our friends, and General Garren. " John, I hate you! If you didn't make me go out there I wouldn't have seen all that! I HATE YOU!" " But Andrew, I just wanted to help..." " I don't care! Do whatever you want, just don't do it with me!" And that was that. We split the village Into two parts, one for me and one for Andrew. And I started training, I was. Never very fast. So I trained in strength. Getting as strong as I could. Doing whatever I could to get strong. Sometimes I would see Andrew training, but it looked to me like he sad training in speed and swordsmanship. And for the next couple years in my life, I trained.
