Kampung Lundang Sanctuary - 2.00am

Haqimi woke up from his sleep. He looks at his phone and his tv screen to check the time which both displays that it is 2 o'clock in the morning. Haqimi stands up from his bed and snaps his fingers twice where the bed itself turns into a couch. He takes off his sleeping clothes, grabs two towels where one wraps at his hips while the other wraps at his necks, and heads into the shower. In about two to four minutes, he comes out of the shower with his hair soaked wet and his body steamed with vapour due to him showering with hot water. He wipes his entire body and hair with both of his towels, puts on his collared shirt and slack pants before heading to his praying mat that is close to the balcony where a beautiful scenery of nature. Haqimi began his usual tahajjud prayer that he always do every first light. After praying tahajjud, he wentback to his couch, sitting there while trying to get some sleep before Subuh is aired. Suddenly, he hears an alarm from the tv screen. It displays a threat somewhere at Kampung Kedap of Rantau Panjang where a multiple blue dots labeled a familiar name began moving towards the threat. "That's near the Kelantan-Thailand border. Wonder what's happening there?" he said it lethargically as he slowly closing his eyes while staring at the screen.

Kampung Kedap, Rantau Panjang, Kelantan - 2.55am

Fire scorching the rice fields, engulfing everything that touches the flames. Sounds of explosions echoed in the distance, a battle has already begun. The villagers overheard the thunderous sound in fear and confusion.The village chief urges the people to stay indoors as children tried to take a peak of the scene. As one of the children of the village looks outside, the child witness something that no one has ever seen before. A traces of bullets sparked left and right where shadowey mist lunges at its targets, killing all of them that charges at it. Behind it, a dark figures pours out a line of bullets. People from foreign lands screamed in their own tongue in pain and agony as they all fall one after another until the flames ceased to ignite. The skies turned dark, the streetlights that have gone out suddenly flickered to life. The villagers of Kampung Kedap walk outside to see a carnage filled with burned crops and the rivers that the crops nourish from are now tainted with blood. The villagers looked in awe as the the shadows devour the corpses of its enemies and fades away from the sight of humans.

Eco-Shop @ Rantau Panjang, Kelantan - 3.03am

The shadows reemerged behind the Eco-Shop building where the mist fades from the body of each figures. "Allahuakbar (God is greater), these guys were hard to kill, did you guys notice that?" says the Muslim female heavily breathes to the ground. "We did, Syakirin. And let me remind all of us that these people are the ones neglecting the command from the NATO core themselves, the remnants that Kimi missed few months ago. He even gave us a warning to deal with these quickly before things getting out of hand." said Hanif Mokhtar, once a Malaysian Splicer, now a police officer. Syakirin looks at him in disgust. "Since when you start helping him all of a sudden, huh?! If I recall back, your pals from KKTM PM did so much damage to him in the past, he became a living killing machine which you guys wanted him to be!" she yelled, which he counters it with fire as well. "You people are no different, bitch! Because of you people not letting him give a chance to fit in, you lashed him out as a fucking freak!" "That's a fucking lie! We have never done anything wrong to Kimi!" yelled Azhar, a man with long hair wearing spectacles. Hanif Mokhtar grins. "Well at least one of you did." Had enough of his antics, Syakirin tries to jab him in the face until another female jumps into the fray - stopping them both.
