     Our nation crumbled, being a pushover to the economic and military superpower, Planeptune. I just fucking hate that god. The wrath and destruction that he has reaped upon our nation is unforgivable. Thousands died...most of my family included. The only one left...was me. Alive, determined and with a new mission objective. Our nation has no god or goddess to fight alongside us but that doesn't matter! I'll be stronger than any goddess in history! Listen up Planeptune, we are coming. I will kill your beloved god provided that I am strong and ready to face him. No more stalling, another war is coming and when the time comes...I will be ready. It was Wednesday and I was reporting for my training at the academy. There wasn't many troops left after the attack. Most of them had either died, abandoned us or left to join Planeptune military...I didn't. Most of my close friends and even my girlfriend moved to Planeptune, who were expanding their borders. I wouldn't stand down though. Our nation is the newest on the soil of Gamindustri and I will not let it become a simple stain on the pages of history books! I was soon called up for some physical training. Ever since the attack, I've been working out every day to put the odds in my favor of getting hired. The training was stuff I already do every day so it was easy to get an A++ as my score. The next test that came along was combat training. They put me in a chamber about the size of a football field and my directive was to get across it with your group of three, taking out any enemy holograms I encounter. The choice was mine however, I could go stealthily or brute force my way through. They had a selection of weapons at the starting gate. I chose a silenced M82 Barrett and told the others how we're gonna get through this.

     The two others picked silenced Colt 1911's and the operator opened the gate. I headed up a nearby ladder to get a good vantage point. I took out enemy holograms as I made my way to the observation point. Once I arrived, I reflected light off of my watch towards the other two to signal that I was in position. I would cover them from here. They advanced steadily until two holograms came up behind both of them.

-"Nanuk, we're in a bit of a squeeze, think you could give us a hand?" He radioed to me.

-"Gotcha, when I say "now", get your heads down." I said.

-"Understood."

     I focused my sights to their location and aimed at one of the guards' head.

-"Now." I said.

     They ducked their heads and I took out the two guards efficiently and quietly. The mission continued. They both arrived at the end and all I had to do was make it there. I went down the ladder and saw a gate open with troops coming out. I ran as fast as I could.

-"I need covering fire!" I radioed to the others.

     There was no response over the radio. I kept running, dodging bullets and jumping off walls to accelerate. I turned the corner to see that the exit gate was closed. I saw the holographic ceiling change from day to night. New orders came in on my helmet.
