Part II
Inside a bright marble opera decorated with columns and encrusted with gold and flowers, a woman in a golden dress walk through the stage waltzing her way the microphone in the front of her. "Hello ladies and gentlemen thank you all for coming to this wonderful night!" The crowd applaud and whistled at the golden beauty "Now everyone please enjoy the show!" As the sounds of saxophones, clarinets, violins, drums and cellos ring through the complex and Swing music graced every ear of the watching crowd as the young lady started to sing and dance, everyone was either drinking beer, whiskey, and wine or talking to their buddies, and at least one guy has a beautiful lady on his arm everyone in the theater was just having the time of their lives that's how sailors of the US navy works, party as hard as they for this maybe their last.

"That was a great party we had there Clair, don't you think?" The lady in the dress smiled who was surely charmed by the man who said it. "Oh, Ryan you flirt! Of course it was, I performed it!" She giggled while Ryan smiled they stared at each other a moment admiring each other's passion for one-another, they then came closer to each other until their lips met they deepened then parted "Clair... There is something I want to tell you..." he then reached for his inner pocket of his blazer grabbing a small box after which he kneeled and said "Clair... ever since I was stationed in Hawaii, the time I saw you, you were just a waitress for an old diner serving my mourning coffee with the biggest smile I ever on a woman, with the dream of becoming the greatest singer in the island, and darlin' look at you now everyone loves you, especially me" Clair with tears of joy in her eyes watched as Ryan slowly opened the box revealing a silver ring "Clair will you marry a young soldier boy and help him be happy in this life and the next" Clair was speechless for moment but then said "Yes!!!" Clair then jumped on Ryan as he now carrying her bridal style "Clair you made me the happiest m-".
BOOM!!!!
Unfortunately for Ryan his moment of happiness was gone in flash, dust and chunks of wood went flying, Ryan himself was thrown back by the blast as he landed in the hard wooden floor of the complex as groaned in pain he looked around him, fire burned fast as cries for help grow louder and louder by the moment "Clair, Clair where are you?!" as he looked to his far right he saw his fiancé on the ground unmoving and on her back, Ryan run to her as fast as his wounded legs take him "Clair!!!" he said as he reached her side "Come on Clair wake up!... Clair!" his cries were in vain though as he saw a wound on the side of her body "No, no, no, no, no, Clair come on now, not now" he tried to find a pulse on her neck, nothing "Please no... Clair... I'm so sorry..." he mourned as he slowly embraced her one last time he felt lost, lonely, angry as looked up to see what made this devastation it was a remains of a plane, a fighter plane and to his observation it wasn't shoot down... then he saw it's severed wing, it had had a red dot, crest of the Japanese Imperial Army................. "Sir are you okay, sir?" asked a man probably a soldier Ryan though "Sir?"
"Sir" Ryan fell of his train of though and back into reality to see Basilio in front of him with hands behind his back and him slightly bowing "Sir, Supremo Jose is ready to see sir" Ryan then stood up from the chair he sat at, but before he was able to reach the doors of the Supremo's study he was stopped by Basilio with a tray on his hand "Sir, the Supremo wanted you to have drink of coffee sir, if you want?" Ryan looked at the mug to see the contents "So... what is it?" Basilio replied "2 shots of espresso on a mug, then filled it up with hot water" Ryan took the mug and said "I guess a good cup of Joe is fine, thank you" as he entered the study, the Supremo with his reading glasses on while reading the daily newspaper "Oh Ryan, I didn't expected you to come" Ryan chuckled "Sorry for coming under such short notice" Jose with his stoic appearance grow a smile on his face "Well I hope the coffee is up to your standards!, I planted the beans myself in the garden!" Ryan took his seat in a soft coach while still drinking his brew "Well they taste just like the ones I got in the war! Though this one is a bit sweeter" Jose then fixed his posture "Glad to see you liked it... but why are you here?" Ryan signed and finished his mug "Theirs a storm coming... a big one" Jose with a bit of concern and worry "What do you mean? Is it the B.S.A?" Ryan replied his face ready for war "no not yet, where's your son?" Jose looked pale "Out on a date with his classmate" Ryan nodded in acknowledgement "Jose, his going to be ready soon, I had a vision a few days back, he is going to inherent that sooner than you think" Ryan point to the medallion on his neck "Why what's going to happen to him?" Ryan only seat in silence "Ryan you have to tell me..." Ryan then released his revelation "He is going to continue a legacy his ancestors started, he will lose many things close to him, but he will be loved be called a savior, comrade, ally, good friend, and a hero, he will learn to accept that no matter how hard he tries he can't control things on of his control, he will to go forward no matter how hard the wind blows" Jose nodded his head "But what about the storm?" Ryan graded an item in his blazer "I don't know when they will come, my visions never really tell me, but they are coming back..." when finished he dropped the item on the desk it was a sharp metal kunai designed after a feather, as Jose observed the weapon his blood ran cold "They are coming....."
