The Means to War!

Chapter 1

13 years have passed and the incident that killed two children, a senior commander, and a hanging of commander on live TV was nicked named the "Death Village!" It was hated throughout the world. People from other neutral countries sent their support to the navy or any of the other branches of the military to Drake.

On a base there was one such general that hated the town that they were about to attack with his guts. That general was Galen who was Victor's and Zackery's father. He was training teenagers to fight and clear there thought process of nothing else but how to be a good soldier. Galen was not going to make a mistake like he did so many years ago and he would gladly sacrifice himself to save these children if they ever were in trouble.

The base that the children, adults, and Galen were in is in the jungle with lots of wood area surrounding them. The base was a medium size with five to six feet high of brick walls that were brown in color. There were guard towers on the four corners of the base and trucks and jeeps, and a lot of other stuff were lined up with theme. In the middle of the base was the barracks for the soldiers and that was solid concrete that can stand up to a nuke or two and in the middle of the base at the back of the wall was the general headquarters and the overseers place as well. The ground was brown dark and muddy and wet from the weather, and it would probably stay like that no matter what the weather was.

It was quiet except for the occasional trucks or helicopters noises that went in and out of the base. Then a shout came and shattered the peaceful atmosphere, and that shout came from non-other that general Galen who stood attention and stalked back and forth as all the soldiers lined up in order from what they were given from the first day on the base and waited for the orders that they were sure to receive. Then suddenly the general stopped pacing back and forth once everyone was lined up and huffed out a sigh and then focused his attention on his soldiers. Glean focused with a serious look in his eyes that spoke volume of care and boldness not to be double crossed by anyone.

Galen was five and six in a half foot tall and had white skin and had deep blue sea eyes that would make most people get lost in his gaze. He had three slashes marks going down his right temple all the way down until it stopped at his middle of his cheek. Galen also had black hair and deep chin and a rounded face. His ears were rounded and were small and he was buff as a from his toes all the way up to his neck. He had a tattoo that was an eagle, and two guns cross through it and under it read ranger in black ink and that was on his right arm near his shoulder. Galen shoulders were straight as they could be, and he wore the green and brown woodland colors of navy colors and on both of his hips he had two 9mm pistols and a sword on his right side that showed signs of wear and being old.

Then with another breath of a sigh he spoke in a deep voice that would vibrate anyone's ears with sound that he made, and he said "I gathered you all here because today is the day that we put your training to the test, and we will be going out and taking the town just a few clicks north of here. If everything goes according to the plan there should not be any casualties by the end of this, but that does not mean that we will not lose any of you even if this plan goes right."

He then started to pace around from left to right in horizontal however he was still talking telling us the plan and what each unit should be doing and in what position we were in. He then stopped and then turned back to us and called us out by name and told which group we were in.

Then suddenly I was startled and broken out of my thoughts when general Galen called out my name in his deep-scratchy voice "Sally!" I quickly went to the front of the line and waited for my orders.

The general then smiled at me and then said "I want you to be in group A up front in the line of trucks. I will warn you that it is very dangerous being up front so if something goes wrong, I expect you to tell us before it happens all, right?"
