An unknown voice is heard as it tries to wake up a boy who had recently been injured because of The Soviets. The boy then wakes up, confused and dizzy. He clears his vision, as he sees an anonymous individual, waking him up. He then gets up, and guards himself, for protection.

Who are you?!

Says the boy as he steps back, worried. The individual gets up as he drops his guns. He raises his hands up, showing that he has no plan of attacking the boy. The individual comes closer, but the boy steps back again.

Trust me. I am not a hostile.

The individual says with a relaxing tone as he shows the symbol, of the Federals.

This is the evidence. I am of thee good guys, I promise. So, my only goal is to get you to safety, not to harm you in any way possible, is that clear?

The boy felt better as he sees the evidence. However, as the boy comes closer to the Federal unit, a bullet flies between them. Both of them are shocked, the Federal unit immediately picks up his gun and covers the boy with his shoulders as he tries to defend him. They now cover themselves behind a large rock as the Federal Soldier readies his RT to call for reinforcements. Footsteps are now heard getting closer and closer to them, the Federal unit reloads his gun, waiting for the timing to attack. As the footsteps get closer, both of them are getting more worried. The Federal unit sighs, and gets up. He then shoots the guy, successfully killing him on the spot. The boy then gets up, and both of them gets closer to the guy, and saw the Soviet symbol. The Federal unit now continues to escort the boy to their turf.

One week has passed, but the boy still didn't forget about the soldier that helped him. So, the boy tries to find him through exploring in the turf of The Federals' Turf. As he walks around, he witnesses technologies and equipment being processed, several soldiers training, and how big the turf is. After a few minutes of searching, he finally found the soldier, sitting on a couch. The boy sits as he gains the soldier's attention.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Oh, hi there kid. How are you now? Are you still hurt?

The soldier is still worried as he searches the kid's body for bruises, scars or injuries if he has one. The kid grabs the soldier's hand and smiles.

Don't worry mister. I am now okay. I just sat here because I just want to thank you for saving me. If you were not there, I would've been dead.

The soldier felt better after hearing that and taps the kid's head.

I haven't ask yet, what is your name?

I am Eldrin sir, 19 years old.

They both conversate for at least 30 minutes, when the kid surprisingly asks something unusual.

Sir, I am just wondering...may I join the team?

The soldier looks at the kid and is confused, but is also proud. The soldier looks outside as the war continues, and thinks. He then looks at the kid and smiles as he grabs the kid's shoulders.

Are you determined?

The kid then shows a serious face as he answers the question with no hesitation.

I am always determined sir.

The kid fixes his posture as he answers with a serious and determined voice. The soldier snaps his hand, like he finally found the one he is looking for.

Well, it is your choice. But, I am proud of you, we are proud of you, that someone so young, decided to join and try to risk their life, for the world.

Both of them smiled as the soldier leads the kid to his dorm, where there lies his equipment, armor and weapons. The kid hurries to grab a certain weapon he sees, a dagger. He inspects it, shining blade, and metal handle. The soldier walks closer, and knows what the kid will be in the future. An assassin, a deadly one. They both looked at each other as they start this strong friendship they have built, hoping it will last until their last breath.
