3rd Person POV
Tord flinched when Patryck, one of his two most loyal soldiers, patted him on the back. Patryck states, "Pau has the helicopter you requested ready to go."
Tord nods to his soldier. Though Patryck doesn't say it, Tord is sure that Patryck is worried that the army will falter without their strong leader for the month he claimed to leave for, little did he know he may be taking more than a month on this "mission" of his. Tord's (useless) thoughts of hentai and later army plans was interrupted by the whirring of helicopter blades as Pau, the other most loyal soldier, landed the helicopter and walked out of the helicopter with a puff of grey smoke coming from his bent cigarette.
"Is the copter ready?" Tord asked with a hint of excitement in his voice that he barely kept hidden.
Tord was excited because he would finally be able to go back to his old friends which he had broken ties with. Although Tord has broken ties with his friends, Tord still longed for their presence in his day to day life or more so one of their presences. The presence he longed for the most was Thomas Rockwell's presence. Tord and Tom's relationship was not at all considered a friendship because of their similar yet different views on the world and they had always butted heads after a heated disagreement from their childhoods leaving them to become enemies.
Flaassshhhbaaacckk
Tom, Tord, Edd, and Matt were standing by the normal tree where they would meet for lunch when Tord had suggested the world was a terrible place that could be fixed with communism and world domination if done correctly. Edd had opened his mouth to speak about his views on the matter before he heard a cracking noise. Tom had punched Tord square in the jaw. Tord staggered backwards and nearby students were looking in their direction, some of the students ran off to get a teacher.
Tom screamed, "You don't know shit about how wrong you are you stupid communist bastard!!"
Tom's void eyes had a purplish smoke coming off of them in the way that one would explain steam coming out of one's ears. Tord rubbed his jaw as he saw Edd rush to his aid with Matt hiding behind Edd holding his hand.
"Are you okay? What's wrong with you Tom?! You've been acting weird all day now you punch Tord?!" Edd yelled after he had raised his voice with a quick and deep sigh.
Tom stares at Edd for a moment in astonishment before turning away from his friends to make his exit. Tom muttered, "You don't know anything about me."
Edd and Matt looked at each other confused at Tom's change in voice and attitude before he had walked away with a teacher running after him to yell at him and potentially punish him for punching another kid.
That was one of many instants of Tord and Tom fighting, it was a less violent one, but it marked the beginning of their love/hate for each other perfectly.
End of Flashback
"Sir!"
Tord was caught back up with reality as his flashback ended and Patryck yelled "Sir" at him. Tord looked to Patryck who stood straight with his hands behind his back in front of Tord.
"I need you to explain what we need to get done during your absence before you go Red Leader." Pau explained placing a hand on his partner's (Patryck's) back.
Patryck visibly relaxed.
With that Tord began to explain the plans of the army to Patryck and Paul.
3 hours later
Tord was in a helicopter with two of his soliders which happened to not be Patryck and Paul to his own disappointment. They were near the landing zone in the forest a few miles back from the old house that the 4 friends used to live in. This lead to Tord to begin to think back to his friends. Of course Tord has background check all three of his friends before he came back and apparently they still lived at the house which was odd because Tord had destroyed the house to rubble. Tord grabbed the files in which had each of his friends' backgrounds. He glanced over Edd's observing that he was a freelance artist and received commissions and worked on comics about his friends and his cat, Ringo. Matt's file said that he was now a full-time model for a designer magazine which was one of his many narcissistic dreams. Tord laughs realizing that fact and thinking of how narcissistic he was. Tord looked over Tom's once more to just be disappointed again. Tom's file was never updated and what they had on him wasn't much. On the file it was said Tom's father was shot in the head by a bear and his mother committed suicide by the time Tom was 6, leaving him to live in his own in the house he inherited. The file said nothing more which seemed odd.
One of the soldiers spoke, "Red Leader, permission to speak"
"Yes" Tord confirmed
"We are here" the solider continued to say.
Tord looked out the window seeing the distant houses and the clearing in the woods, the blades of the helicopter became louder as they neared the forest floor blowing the nearby trees and grass in every which way to the point where the nearby animals are scared of the helicopter. As a deer is running away from the clearing, Tord sees it is already injured and decides to put it out of it's misery and shoots it dead. The helicopter soon lands and the whirring of the helicopter calms down as the helicopter is turned off. Tord heaves a deep sigh which makes his two soldiers look at him.
"This may not go well.. So stay put and if I'm not back in an hour you are free to fly back to base."
Tord says this as he stood up, disheveled his hair and swings his plain black backpack that he stuffed the files of his old friends into before picking it up. His soldiers salute to him as he confidently left the helicopter hoping everything would go well. The next he saw of his soldiers would be in a month if everything went well and he obtained his goal, information, and new soldier by the time he finished. Tord devised a plan that he would make his friends believe he was kicked out of the army because he was now weak because of his missing eye which plagued his good aim (which it did not) and the expenses of his robot arm.
Short time skip later...
Tord found himself in front of where his friends and old house should be after a short walk of 23 minutes. Instead of the whitish beige painted wood rectangular house with a red roof and two visible windows on top with the yellow light illuminating from the house and red curtains blocking some of the light from going to meet the front lawn, Tord was met with a concrete path that goes past a tree with two lines of bushes on each side of the path that lead up to a porch with two wooden chairs and a balcony above. The house was a beautiful natural oak wood having the appearance of a cabin with a window to either side of the porch and a forest green singlet roof modernizing it. Tord admires the new house after a quick sigh and hopes that Edd, Matt, and Tom still live here, if not he would be embarrassed for knocking at somebody's door looking the way he did at 5:00 pm on a windy fall night.
"This is what I want." Tord reassures himself.
Tord walks to the front of the house with the 'wooing' of a nearby owl following him. Tord knocks at the door and hears a tv in the background going since it was Friday movie night. The four friends had a tradition of watching movies on Friday, the reminisce about the movie nights stopped Tord from hearing Matt scream at the door for making him mess up his hair and Edd's quick footsteps to the door. Tord looks up from the wooden planks of the porch as the front door opens.
"Tord?..." Edd said slowly unsure of how to greet his surprisingly undead ex-friend.
