Fugaku was in his office when he was doing some paperwork, he was ticking and accepting requests from nearby countries and small cities. Fugaku thought to himself "Ever since the war the Knight Kingdom had against us in the last month, nearby countries and cities have been asking for alliance. It's probably because they know they can't fight against the Knight Kingdom when they come for domination.", he took a sigh and started wondering to himself "What a pain. Domination this, domination that. In all honesty, I hate that concept. How would a nation have the idea to forcefully take out other countries for no apparent reason?! There isn't disagreement between countries, there is no goal or objectives that wants to be achieved. I see no reason for this....". Fugaku rested his back on his chair "Not only have I been accepting requests, I've also been serializing weapons from Reggie. He's been bringing up ideas for new weapons, and due to the current situation we've found ourselves, I don't think I can decline.", he sat up straight "There's also been the reports of our generator boxes being stolen from our bases. We've been up against bandits from another country who've been going around stealing our scrolls that contain ancient techniques as well, its probably they've been shown to be the country of the dark beats, the one Hades rules over. Some of our solidiers have been killed due to preventing that, some have been mortaly wounded too.". Fugaku took a sigh and looked back his window "I hate having to put my soliders in this mess. We're human beings regardless, we have no right to suffer like this....", he was watching people living and laughing with one another on the streets, he saw as everyone got along. Fugaku couldn't help but to feel guilty "It's surprising because about a month ago, we almost got wiped out....", Fugaku thought of another idea again "I think the plan ive been formulating would be necessary. It will help soliders, both old and young to get prepared.". Reggie walked into the office "Lord Fugaku.....", he called out, Fugaku looked at him "Reggie, what brings you by?". Reggie explained "Well, the plan for the hostel is already on the move. In about a week from now, young soldier should be able to move in. The training camp will soon be at work.", Fugaku just smiled "I see. So it's almost done, huh. No problem.". Reggie then asked "So, how are things at your end sir? You've been dealing with a ton of work.", Fugaku sat down and explained "Well you're right, I have been dealing with a ton of work. But I guess I can put them all aside and take a rest for now.". Reggie smiled and replied "Okay, that's good. By the way, don't you have an online meeting with the lightning country's leader?", Fugaku sighed "Yes, I do. It's going to be at 3:00PM today. But right now, the day is still bright, so I'm not too worried about that.". Elsewhere, in the lightning country, Andre and Laria were at a science facility. Infront of them was a corpse covered in a black sheet from head to toe, the scientists that attended to them removed the blanket, it was the body of the women Andre fought when he, Reggie and Laria invaded one of the Knight Kingdom's base. Andre explained "Her body was used as a robot for the Knight country's base. I believe the Knight Kingdom killed her and attached some devices to her corpse in order to controll her and use her as a weapon for their warfare.", the scientists replied "I see.". Suddenly, a lady came in, she had long yellow hair and wore a white and yellow clothing that brought out her shape well, her name was Najenda(17 years old) "Hey, I'm here. Why did you call for me here, Nagero?", she asked the scientists. The scientists(Nagero/ Age 17) explained "Isnt this the body of your teammate?", Najenda took a look at the dead lady's body, her eyes filled with sadness immediately she saw her dead friend "Oh, I see. So she's dead...", Najenda explained "She was sent on a mission against one of the bases of the Knight Kingdom, the Knight Kingdom was stealing some of our communication devices. But after a few days, we didn't hear from her anymore. At first i thought she was only going through some major difficulties during the mission, I didn't want to think anything had happened to her. But it turns out she's dead.". Andre just sighed "Laria, let's go. We're done here.", he said, Laria followed behind him "Don't tell me what to do.", they both left the science facility. Najenda looked at Andre and Laria for a few moments before looking at the body of her dead comrade with a sad look on her face "I'll go report to the others that her body has been found.", she said to the scientist. As Laria and Andre were flying accross the wastelands, Laria said "It's funny because we are in another continent entirely, the Lightning country is much more further away from the city of Kagahara than other countries are.". Andre was quiet the entire time until he asked Laria a question "Laria, can I ask you something?", Laria looked at him "A question? Where did that come from?", she said, almost irritated. Andre asked "I know we're soliders and all. But when you kill someone, or are responsible for another person's death, don't you feel sad?", Laria took her time to understand the question Andre had asked. She explained "Well, If I'm speaking the truth? I don't. We are soliders and assassins, we do whatever we are told. We have no voice of our own, if we are given orders to kill someone, we will kill that someone. If we are given orders to bomb a country, we will do it. Other soliders would do the same if their respective nations told them to do so, and non of them would give a crap. That's just how the world works here.". Andre kept quiet for a while, allowing Laria's words to sink in "I see. Normally, I'm usually the confident and arrogant type who flexes his powers on others any how I like. But still, I find it odd that a guy like me still has regard for human life.", Laria looked at him "Yeah, me too buddy. Me too.".
