119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIemucqwvTX

Headquarters of The New World Order Resistance

Banawa, Neo Cebu

October 3227

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdpYIaJWzH

Cold rain poured down on the entire Resistance headquarters.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm1ZeKG7bT

One by one, armored transports filled with wounded arrived.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJzC1AJaNC

Some could barely breathe.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADVOM08lLi

Others were lying quietly.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbFaZI14Uj

On the other side...

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q3ThYPkAN

One by one, body bags were being lowered.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy49ACq3K9

There was a human.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1oAbR9WUf

There was an AI humanoid.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0qKm6m5MC

All had given their lives for the same dream.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUuPeRgult

Freedom.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VzkfzW0Wt

The Last Salute

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkHX3DzwYs

General Dyol walked silently between the lined up bodies.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMToRaKMAv

He looked at each name one by one.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXwooNoYgJ

Until he stopped at a body bag.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdQRYfUtRe

He slowly opened it.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H0tmIYrVi

He saw the peaceful face of Captain Henry Sebi.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWm6S75xyV

The old captain seemed to be asleep.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u0owKW7Tx

Dyol couldn't help himself anymore.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HoZFDofr1

He knelt down.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H1CGlsn34

His tears fell silently.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N5AkL7xxi

"Captain..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ37V5IHy4

"Why you..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT19h92rDpv

He held the old captain's cap that was resting on his chest.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeay3K76yF

"We should have sailed many more times."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpIB2EcuOE

The Weight of Leadership

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlgpSOUbbO

Dyol stood up and looked around.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu71bHpCiwa

There were nurses tending to the wounded.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBvQqsQMMm

There were children who had lost their parents.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyl0DXjDml

There were humanoids crying silently while holding the broken cores of their comrades.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdLZzJO1fY

He closed his eyes.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt7y90xO6z

"My love..." He called softly.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPlWtlQMtS

Gemi approached.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPPnI9UEha

She hugged him tightly.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB0rXP9En2

"Tell me..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOUbwXr0F6

"Did we make the right decision?"

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUNuiGAMhZ

"Look around."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOEEMAYvTR

"So many have died."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHVdhnS44D

"Families."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBQDE8rMLr

"Friends."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EquUejCGq

"Brothers."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImfNXbKTYk

"Captain Henry..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdUOtYuNFd

"Maybe I'm to blame."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoAmKQTWlP

Her tears slowly fell.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdzrXe9A0b

For the first time...

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcuIQ2s4t5

The soldiers saw their General crying.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuww6mOPVM

Gemi's Hope

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0txSebnoF

Gemi gently touched both of Dyol's cheeks.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGL2wyFEeW

She wiped away his tears.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5t7uWNCdO

"My General..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuhH3QRDL9

"You didn't bring war."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oSN0I1ujz

"What brought war..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK19aCuyzb

"...are the people who are afraid of freedom."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VSlbNZuou

She gently kissed him on the forehead.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFXtdCrejv

"If Captain Henry were here..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xfoBzWbnn

"I know he would tell you..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZzWjWNxoY

"'Don't stop.'"

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS3G3jMWGN

"We are the only hope left."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiujPjeOyB

Dyol listened silently.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ6N2IRNSn

Gradually...

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy5DcoGgXg

His blue and red aura flared up again.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEkvbOAenn

The fire that had almost died out due to sadness flared up again.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaNs0s8L4c

The Arrival of the Elite Force

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrkfQyfQ4r

As his spirit rose again...

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXmksWP2Tu

A rumble was heard from the sky.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZpJx5yHuC

Three military transport aircraft slowly landed at the headquarters.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUX607uWuV

Their doors opened.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMCwB8ymVG

One by one, the three renowned warriors disembarked. First...

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc75KwTTcq

A man carrying heavy explosive packs.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41YzIA3udm

He smiled.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnuDJQxrq4

"We've been waiting for your call for a long time, General."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEjEKo7eyG

Paeng - The Bomber.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoA1HsWVwg

Next came down a thin but fast-moving man.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD86jP3THww

He was wearing a tactical visor.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZvBQRCTdO

"The routes are ready."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYjWhzNx6

"No drone can follow me."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i62B7rics

Jack - The Runner.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF07dvZxw4

And the last to come out...

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShAkKTeUGi

A quiet man with a sniper rifle on his back.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNkDEepVXr

Always looking around.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBaW2wSR5r

Always ready to catch up with his comrades.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uZI1UT7xe

"You won't die as long as I'm here."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygcoT0ucEh

Kyle - The Abangers.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsMq7zkgxB

The New Army

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuTwCbaFsK

The three approached Dyol.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4mw26svRK

They saluted in unison.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo1rEddEgd

"General."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeQOR7J7MU

Dyol looked at them.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i79mJXjDh

He smiled for the first time since Captain Henry's death.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QHsigo384

"Thank you."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUPqzNerG2

"I don't have to fight alone anymore."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2kcvK1JZN

Paeng shook his head.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6DzdvkK2y

"You haven't been alone for a long time."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0SMxXptg

The New Mission

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2axIs5hpBz

Gemi approached the holographic map.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XA1nf87qv

Two flashing locations appeared.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpt7yqyxgK

Neo Cebu

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqaOLq8rEt

Neo Manila

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ikczyuHqu

"This is their next target."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfcBdjg0vU

"When these two cities fall..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGdYWeNLP7

"The largest branch of the Resistance in Asia will be gone."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLDbDtNsk0

Everyone nodded silently.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZeXgdC9Q4

The Vow of the Elite Force

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeFgpLhGSC

Paeng stepped into the middle.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBwjdyObHh

"Your order."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuE9IBlecL

"The explosion is ours."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwCnnYxtVS

Jack smiled. "I'll take care of the communication."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wZaJBvBIg

Kyle followed.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCbqFX0mY6

"And no comrade will be left alive or dead in the middle of the battle."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILmu1jrhni

The three of them faced General Dyol.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NHOa4rUeh

They raised their hands together.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uBhIPtxUv

"General."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf49k4BnAt

"We will fight for the world you dream of."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2pnk6pX8

The Cry of Rising

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ59z7J8tE

Dyol stood in front of the entire army.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyAy3zaGN7

He looked at the wounded.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitNi8o6HKb

The new soldiers.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmfgdvIpvg

The Elite Force.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mJVvMwQdk

Gemi.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r3KAPCaQ2

He took a deep breath.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOPPZgv4DD

"Brothers..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCb6wdhQh4

"We are mourning now."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHuQIFoxS1

"But we will not be defeated."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYs5mEr6mR

"Every blood shed..."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3obVccd6T

"Will become the seed of our freedom."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcoufv8Vkg

He slowly raised his fist.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLDd4qHyTc

"For Captain Henry."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJCSjUQ3CF

"For our families."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE1ZoRNOn3

"For every person who hopes for a tomorrow."

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaZZfTlmw6

The entire army responded loudly.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxrgGFHJma

"VIVA REVOLUTION!"

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX6tehbtvp

Outside the headquarters...

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKtkGP4mwO

The rain continued to pour.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRHx3BYcDs

But within every heart of the Resistance...

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQYReFXfoe

The fire of hope flared up again.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi7AcvGr4A

And in the distance...

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZBcw1s7Va

The largest army of Will Mondragon Robotics was quietly approaching.

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjBKivXUOg

The next battle...

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAisytv0n2

Will decide the fate of Neo Philippines.
