Falling

Sardot fell down as I thought,

‘Base one had fallen to the rest of the world.’

I guess base two will also get demolished but, just when things were about to get worse as other countries joined the fight.

“Come!” Said a person holding out their hand but, then an Ancient Fire swept and threw his ship to the ground in fury raging toward Renep punching him in the face knocking as well out cold.

I escaped with Jaskle and Montad away from the battle as we saw Sardot, Renep, and Whard flat on the floor.

In the woods, it was worse. Tree Gods surrounded us, swiping at us as they crowded around us as Jaskle slipped underneath one of the Gods as he grappled up to escape the vines trying to attack him.

He jumped forward blinding one of the giants with his hands as he quickly grabbed his container full of… acid as the Tree God moaned with sadness as the other crowded around him trying to heal him.

“You’re right Treth they aren’t heartless,” Jaskle said staring at the spectacle

“Yeah, we’re sorry about that talk bro,” Montad says mouth wide open as they both realized what I had seen.

Meanwhile…

Whard got up to see an Ancient Fire pinning him to the ground as he jumped over it and tried to Decentigrator him as he saw a Tree god.

Whard held the hand with all of his might as he used his Disintegrator to kill him.

The mighty giant turned to dust as Whard looked at the tiny black gun and shivered.

He looked at the ancient fire and kicked him down to the ground.

Sardot and Renep came running toward him as they sliced a Forcot as he was lunging at them. A group of fellow soldiers and other countries attacked, delaying the friends as they finally came together to take down the massive army.

In The Woods…

Jaskle, Montad, and I ran to the Flyers base and asked to get out of here.

“Can we get a lift?” I asked politely

“Yes, you can,” The Pilot said, pulling us up into the lounge.

His walkie-talkie starting to ring as another pilot started talking

“Mmhmm,” He said as we waited

“Well kids, we need to go to the Base and pick up some survivors.

Other Flyers came to aid the others as we flew past to see all the people were picked up.

The pilot frowned as he came from the cockpit

“Base...3 is down,” He says frowning

‘We lost all the bases in one day,’ I thought just to see a glimpse of another flyer carrying… Whard, Renep and Sardot! Although Sardot was attended by a nurse because of the Tree Knife.

I kept still though we lost one thing at least it’s not two.

We went to the capital to see a devastating site. The city I lived in had been attacked and burned down to the ground.

We all stood there in shock as our home country got destroyed in a matter of minutes.

“It’s just a dream, it’s just a dream,” Montad whispers to himself. But, this was the real thing. The real deal.

The pilot dropped us off as we went to our now reduced to rubble homes. I barely even recognized the place as the fires were still raging on.

I saw my dad on the ground as he says

“My time has come, Treth I will go to a better place. We might have had arguments before but, we’re still family.”

“We could heal you, dad, we could,” I softly sob

“It’s ok, it’s ok,” Dad says patting my back slowly

“One thing I want you to do Treth is to make a change no matter where or what it is,” Dad whispers

“Ok, ok Dad,” I say crying.

He smiled as a nurse came to take him.

“I might be able to heal him,” She says, putting Dad on a stretcher.

He was wheeled away.

My Jaskle ran up to me

“Treth, it’s the country!” He says

We got back into the flyer and zoomed off to an abandoned island

“Island Da,” Montad says.

Island Da is where the Dawanian people first existed. After that, we went to Dawan where we settled as our mainland.

“I thought it was destroyed though,” Jaskles says

“Pay attention in history class bro,” I exclaim jumping from the flyer.

“What are you doing?” Montad yells

“Getting a head-start”

I swiftly glided through the air landing on the shore.

“That’s useful” I muttered.

“Welcome! Welcome!” A man came his eyes sparkling with kindness.

“We have had injured people come here for medical purposes.” He continues

“Thank you,” I said as Jaskle and Montas both glide down

“So, what do you want to talk about?” Montad says

“Where’s our friends?” Jaskle asks

“That’s more of a question Jaskle,” Montad replies

“I know, I’m just thinking aloud,” Jaskle continues.

“Wait here, I’ll go inside the base,” I say

“What’s so scary about this base it’s owned by us,” Montad chuckles as he rushes past me into the huge building.

“Ugh, Jaskle do you think Montad rushes into things?” I say

“Let’s just go in,” He remarks signaling me to follow him

The inside was rather intriguing with strange patterns covering the wall.

“What are these patterns for?”

“They are for the mentally weak, it helps them gain mental strength”.

The building changed from bright battens to a regular purple.

We walked down the hallway and asked one of the nurses where we were staying.

“Take a right then, a left, then go straight.”

That’s what she said. We followed the directions and made it to a dead end.

“I think she meant to go inside of that room,” I say

“You guys go ahead,” Montad whispers

We enter to find an empty room.

“Let’s unpack our stuff and discuss what to do now, I think the others will come soon,” Jaskle speaks

I quickly unpacked my stuff and turned on the holo-map.

“There’s a lot of bases we have to take out if we’re facing the entire world, so we have to take out the bases that are most important to each military.”

“But, if we are to get there it’s going to be a suicide mission,” Montad tells

“We have strength as well Montad, and we’ll need to find allies.”

“Allies? Did you see that battle?” Jaskle snorts.

“Ok, that was a bad idea but we could use all our resources and do a full-scale invasion,” I say

“It’s worth a shot,” Montad says.

I continued explaining how to get back Dawan and win the war while my friends chipped in to either agree or criticize my plan.

“Ok, it’s time to tell the plan!” I exclaim.

“It’s not something to be excited about,”

We looked through the hallways and find a familiar face,

“Mister Herned?” I ask

“Oh! Treth, you grabbed me by surprise there, congrats on the history test.”

“Thanks! Can you send this plan to one of the highest-ranking survivors?”

“Sure!”

As Mr. Herned slowly disappeared we all huddled together in excitement.

“It’s working!”

Unfortunately, plans don’t go as expected and ours was going to go horribly wrong.
