No one's excited to go to War.

But some are excited to make their families proud.

5th August 2053..

Many are lined up on the Docks, This is the day where boys are shipped off to fight in the Army. Normally, It's the eldest that's shipped off. If you're a male and eldest, You have no choice.

Kane was proudly standing there while his mother cooed over him, Kissing his face and telling him how much she'd miss him. He got a solid nod from his father. He looked over to his girlfriend, Angelica.

He pulls her into his arms and kissed her lovingly. She wraps her arms around his neck and quietly murmers against his lips:

"Be safe.. Okay?"

As they seperate, His Green eyes meet hers. He gives a smile and kissed her lips gently again.

"For you."

He answers, Letting her go.

He then boards the ship, Moving to the side to wave off as they leave. His best mate, Zero, Is running over to him. He pulled his friend down to one of the seats.

"Aren't you excited?"

Zero grinned, Punching his arm. They'd all been fed the ideas that War was a simple training, Then go to War and win immediately.

America, Ladies and Gentlemen.

The two boys watch as the oceans rock the boat. The sun fades in the sky and Kane falls asleep..

When Zero shakes Kane awake, They're at their base camp. They all walk up to the front of the base, While people look around, Kane is trying to figure out who's in charge.

Three men.

They're all dressed in different uniforms, He glanced back over to Zero who was talking to the Medics.

Idiot..

He spotted someone walking up to them.. The three men straighten up when he's seen. The man pulls a whistle to his lips and a loud noise erupts from it.

Everyone quickly tries to get into line.

When they manage to do so, The man walks along the lines, Staring at all of the recruits.

"So these are the new recruits.."

He muttered.

Kane straightened up, Trying not to make eye contact with the man. Zero was standing next to Kane and was obviously nervous as well.

The man clicked his tongue.

"Thought I asked for the men.."

Kane heard the older soldiers snicker at that, While the new recruits seemed embarrassed. Kane ignored the man's comment. No way he was important.

"I am your Commanding Officer, Johnny Sparrowhawk."

Ah shit.

"I will be training you.. Incase War might fall upon our soils. You will do your duty as an American.. To serve and protect this country."

The man said firmly, Walking along the lines. His eyes narrow.

"You will be waking up at 0500. Training throughout the day, Taking as many breaks as I allow you and cleaning your quarters at 1945, Then sleep at 2100."

He walked in front of Kane.

"Understood?"

No answer.

"UNDERSTOOD?"

The man said more firmly, Kane looked up at the older man.

"..Yes sir."

"..."

He gave a small nod to the soldier and walked away. With that, There was no other speaking. The other soldiers showed them to their bunks.

Zero and Kane shared a Bunk, At night, They spoke about their commander.

"That guy was coocoo.." Zero muttered.

"No kidding." Kane mumbled.

"Eh. No need to worry about him.. Let's just finish our damn job and get outta here.." Zero chuckled and laid on his side. And that was the end of the conversation.

Kane just stared at the ceiling for a while.

Something stirred in him..

Why did he feel the need for this man's attention?

Damnit.
