Chapter One: The War

My name is Hummer Ryse, 20 years old, I'm a U.S. Marine officer.

This is my story.

Somewhere in Pacific Ocean

U.S. Carrier Motherlode

04.00 A.M.

20th July, 2025

"Yo Ryse, rise and shine brother, we gotta scramble now."

"What time is it Flank?"

"Come on, it's just 0400"

"A.M.?"

"Nope, P.M., of course it is you moron."

"Screw you!" I said as I drank my glass of milk.

"Really? Milk? What are you, five years old little boy?"

"Shut up, milk is good for morning."

"Yeah whatever nerd, meet me at the War Room."

Flank left as I finish prepping up, it was a hot morning, I wiped my sweat, and combed my hair. We received another attack from the Titans. And that one was the worst. I threw my towel, put on my shirt, boots and shits. I ran to the War Room, and the Commander, Flyer Mace, was briefing the boys.

War Room

04.30 A.M.

"We found that Titan codenamed Grizzly Bear wreaking havoc at the coast of Alaska,  the Titan classified as Level 5 because advance defense mechanism, also its height approximately 70ft. tall. It has a furry back, thick skin, Titan's armor, and hammer-like fist. Now we know we aren't part of it, but they asked for help. We received the distress call at 0100 A.M. and I don't care you boys already had morning cereal or still sleepy like a baby panda, I need you to be on your shape now. We will commence the attack at 0500, so get ready!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Ryse!" the commander called me.

"Don't screw your first assignment, okay?"

"Look, I know that my brother has been in more assignments and more experienced than me, but I won't let you down."

"Okay, now get ready!"

"Yes, sir!"I gave salute to him and then quickly ran.

I went to the upper deck while putting on my helmet, looking at the vast Pacific Ocean, seeing her raging wave, marching to the coast.

I walked away from the edge, walked, walked, walked to our aircraft, F-22 Raptor.

"Hey, you ready Ryse?" Flank said with excited voice.

I looked at him, eye to eye, climbed the ladder and then sat on the co-pilot seat. "Yeah, just don't get us killed. I'll hate that moment."

"Relax, I got everything we need to slap that damn Titan face and wipe his grin off."

"Yeah, whatever." I said and tap on his right shoulder.

Flank closed the lid and gave signal to the operator.

"Stand by, Hummer Brothers, you're good to go." Tower Control said through the microphone.

"Permission verified, launching in 3, 2, 1. Launch!"

We launched off the carrier, following the battle plan Commander Flyer made. Jet engine sound roaring the sky, rain hitting our plane, wind blowing furiously. We were accompanied by 62nd Air Force Squadron, Raven Squadron.
