*Unknown POV*

I looked at the screen as the pictures of the capital city of South Korea popped up. The buildings were damaged, and there was skeletons all over the place. Some buildings were even collapsed. I was upset. Who would do such a thing to our poor sister country? Whoever they were obviously didn't like the Koreans for some reason. It was a little depressing. I looked over to my brothers and smiled. I was glad that we weren't getting attacked, it would be terrible to see Tokyo like Seoul is right now. I sighed. "Isn't it awful that some idiot just did that to poor Seoul?" I exclaimed out loud. My brothers nodded. "Yeah, what assholes. It isn't right." My oldest brother said. Then, the news reporter began to talk about the destruction of Seoul.

"Just this week we got news of the USA landing an attack on Korea almost four years ago now, from a group of teenaged boys whom are trapped in a Korean Base located in an unnamed location. The boys reported of multiple bombings and executions done by the Americans, leaving almost three quarters of the Korean population extinct. The photos we received of Seoul were apparently only a small portion of the damage caused by the Americans. This morning, our president sent out our military to protect the still living Koreans left in the country. There will be applications to join the Japanese army beginning tomorrow, and alongside our military will be the Chinese army also."

I was shocked. 4 years? The Americans were surely getting desperate for more land since their country is becoming over populated. They even invaded Canada 7 years ago and 6 years ago they invaded Mexico. Now both countries are the USA. I couldn't believe they were now attacking our sister country. And it was awful to hear of it, one of my brothers was crying a little. I turned to him. "Sorata?" I muttered. He was crying a little more now. What was wrong with him? He never usually acted like this. "My best friend lives in Korea, Yano!!! He used to live in Busan!" He cried. I was upset now. His best friend? Did he mean Kris Lee? The boy who visited us many years ago on an exchange trip? Sorata looked at me. "You remember Kris, right? I hope he's okay!!" My brother stood up. "I need to find Kris, and his family. I'm going to join the army."

*Hansol's POV*

We had found an old computer in a library, plus some cameras in a technology shop. We walked around Seoul taking pictures, then we sent them to a major news company in China. I smiled as we got news of the Chinese, Thai and Japanese armies coming to help us. I knew they'd help. They are our sister countries after all. I smiled as we got back to our base. "I am going to fight too." I exclaimed putting on some army clothes. Jay and Kwon joined me. Min-Min was about to come with us, but I told him no. He was too young. And besides, what kind of big brother would I be if I let him get killed at the hands of the enemy? "Alright, none of you die okay?" He said as we left to meet the armies. I was confident that we could win. We have a huge army.
