Ryota's Mission

Ryota's Mission (Original)

April 17th, 2018

Yet another day that I'm putting my life on the line for Japan and its people. Many of the soldiers are getting ready for the next battle, while I'm sitting in my cramped room waiting for orders. I feel like this war will never end! What's wrong with the people in this world, all they ever do is fight!

I want to see my family again, I miss them so much. I wonder how they're all doing. Some of the soldiers are going home to visit their families in a month and I'm glad to be one of them. I have to stay ali-...

My bedroom door was slammed open by none other than Captain Yamato.

"What do you think you're doing Ryota!" He yelled. Yeah, my name's

Ryota but I prefer to be called Ryo. "Get ready this instant!"

I stood up straight, putting my right hand in front of my heart while putting my left hand behind my back.

"Yes, Sir!" I said in a determined voice. A smirk crawled across Captain Yamato's face as he turned to leave.

I hate that man! He's the one that forced me into the Army when World War III began since there weren't enough soldiers.

I left the confines of my room and got ready. Most of the Soldiers were already out on their horses waiting for the command to go. My horse was already saddled up when I got outside. As I mounted her, I noticed that they were all waiting for me. Whispers filled the air. I found it hard to breath.

Captain Yamato cleared his throat, "Now that everyone's ready, we can head out to the battlefield. Remember that lives will be lost, but we still got to go on for Japan!" Yamato took a deep breath before shouting, "HEAD OUT!"

We made it to the battlefield and dismounted our horses. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. It felt as if it was going to burst any second, as I made my way over to Captain Yamato.

"Captain, what will my mission be today?" I tried to act unfazed by everything that was happening, but my voice still quivered.

Captain Yamato stared me dead in the eye; I wanted nothing more than to run away. "Your next mission is to kill one of the colonels of the US Army. His name in Ichiro, he has bleach blond hair and appears young. Until you complete that mission, you won't be given anymore." His voice was stern as he passed me a map, "The area on the map that is circled is where you'll find him, now head out!" I nodded and began following the map to my destination.

I came to a clearing, with a stone building in the middle. That has to be their base! I thought to myself.

I found a large rock to hide behind and set up. I could feel the sweat dripping off my pale skin, as I undone the safety lock on my gun. The barrel was lined up with the entrance of the base; my fingers ready to pull the trigger at any given moment.

The door cautiously opened and a frail boy, around the age of sixteen, was posing as a soldier. The boy gave the all clear sign and soon soldiers flooded out the door, creating a straight line. A man that appeared young, stood in front of the soldiers. His bleach blonde hair swaying gently in the breeze, revealing crimson eyes that craved for blood.

Vampire! My mind shouted at me. However, he does match Captain Yamato's description, so I have to kill a... My body filled with fear as I tried to change the bullet to a pure gold bullet that was specially made for his kind. However, that appeared more difficult than imagined as my hands trembled fiercely. Out of anxiety, I took a step backward but immediately regretted that decision as my foot tugged at a wire like an object. My icy blue eyes widened as realization struck me, It's a bomb!
