《The Final Light》Chapter 2: The Small Light Grows Smaller
Advertisement
Why Why Why did they have to come and take over this sector as well, why did they to ruin this perfect moment of tranquility of peace in mind i wish that i was a week older so that i can fight them. just why.
this nothing more to say we just did the same thing as usual wait for our name and proceed to next sector this time its H-54 and H-55 is going to join the Sectors in that have gone and fallen to the Aku-no.
after a week passed i joined the force to combat the threat i do still get to meet people when i am not needed but with the that passed nothing really happened more people went missing manlily died or so we like to believe but the one thing that amused me was that we have poor but still picture's of the Aku-no i never thought that i would see one in my life but at this moment it was footage and a pic of it.
let me put this so that it sounds sane, it was not real it was something that would never want to meet the footage shows these brave men fighting what looks like to be, a idk what it looks like a sprit but not one at the same time and its covered in a fleshy outside on the the inside it just nothing but something spiritual, the flesh looks decayed and rotten with little bits a flesh that hang from nothing but looks like its attached to a body but it is not. the site of tis thing is just unnerving and unconfutable to see but when the video played it was something to behold it attacks is through gun it has that it has on its shoulder but it not normal it latterly remove any part of you from the world thank god they cant use it all the time. then there are the conventional way of combat of hand and it has the strength to.....rip men in half and stop cars of regular use.
it was scary, more like a nightmare of what i saw. i never wish to have that happen to me at any moment in life, i think no one wants that at all. but now we know what we are facing and how they operate it feels like the people of Last Light have reason to think we are going to die, it an all real action to think that after what i saw but we will die out trying to find hope for survival.
it hard trying to be Soldier not a lot people really take notice of how hard it is to be one. right now in the Military it just people running around trying to find stuff and be prepared for the next take over of sector now if you ask me what my goals are in this place i want to command a whole battalion of men or a unit, one or the other will happen. then i am called from behind:

"Pvt, Thorn come quick we need your help" said a sergeant around the corner.
and that is how i found myself in a unit heading on a expo to H-55 and maybe H-56 who knows but i am scared shitless i have experience come later know that none of us do except for the two drivers in the truck and the other trucks, yea they sent 100 recruits to battle with no experience or what not. i have regrets of joining now and want to know there are 5 trucks 20 people in each not counting the drivers.
so off we go to our death and unknow of it out there, well the Aku-no are out there so we do know what is out there.
with around 1-2 hours of driving we had reached H-55 yea it takes that long from one end of H-54 to the other end which is hell if you are walking. we reach the gate that will lead us to the sector and we are told to out of the trucks and line up in formation of double Colum. why are we doing that then in we go to do what I don't know we weren't told but i had felling something was off but paid no mind.
with walking you don't what to do speak or just sit a shut up like everyone else, then the radio started to flair up with messages saying "Contact" over a static sound wave, not good. no answer the Plea's for help and then finally someone spoke other than the people on radio, "what is unit number and location of you" said the man as calm as he could be. "Unit: 5, Location in the midline of the formation" the midline that is not far from us what the hell where the Aku-no i thought these guys were in front.
i chimed in to the person who finally spoke after so long of silence. "we should them there not that far behind us" he looks at me "yea that would reasonable" he looks down the line towards the front they all stopped "they line has stopped" he then looks at me after saying that "what should we do" they all looked at me but why i am no leader but i want to be i need to take this chance and prove my worth to the others, but why am i scared to do so why wont say anything.
"we turn around and help and tell the front to stop and hold set up defensively while we take units 3 and 4 back to help 5" i blurted out of no where and so they started to do what i said and no we heading to combat all because i said a few word's.
we turned the corner and saw combat for the first time in our lives i gave the order to spread out and use cover as much as possible then i saw why i was so scared of them in the video as one if the Aku-no picks up a man and rips of an arm and the man head all you could see was a red shower of non stop blood to say i was terrified was an understatement, the man next to me disappeared then i saw him above me, yes above me he was being carried by a sprit tentacle that was embedded in his chest.

we the started to open fire on the Aku-no it did nothing, nothing was happening to them they just stood there taking bullets from a well sized squad of people there were 50 units? if i remember all with 5 guys so not 50 maybe 18 groups and 4 were engaged with the enemy so left 14 free and well i think we need two more units to help us as we have already lost a whole unit from all units in combat this was bad. so i gave the call, "Units in front move to where the back units are i also need two more units to assist in combat with units 3-5" they started to move and i got the 2 units i was hoped would come to help.
as all the combat continued most of if not all of unit 5 was gone at this point so i got onto the line and asked that someone who could in contact with command and rely we have entered combat and that ~13 people have died yes two units almost gone.
he gets back to me and says that we are to retreat back to base and report, yes retreat how can we retreat we are pinned and cant move unless we want to die so that is for me i guess but what we could as i am thinking this now i am last man standing, yep last of them.
Unit 5 Status: GONE
Unit 6 Status: GONE
Unit 4 Status: GONE
Unit 3 Status: 1 REMAINS
Unit 11 Status: GONE
Unit 14 Status: GONE
Status of other squads not in combat: FINE(FULL UNIT)
"sir this is not looking good we should recall the rookies at this rate all of them will die" a man at a computer said a another man. "call a recall but that one man he is dead if he is alone in combat with the Aku-no"
"Yes sir"
"All units recall back to base i repeat recall back to base" the radio chimed, a recall at last some common sense in Command but that most likely for those that are not me, fun. i act dead just for the Aku-no to pass by i make it look i shot myself so i blend in with all the carnage around me, all i see is death. there one man hanging i don't know how but he is hanging with his guts spewing out of his missing lower body one other how was right to me had no head all you say was the flesh all rough and the bone that was spine somewhat gone you know where it was but it is not there. then the hand of some poor man.
see i am but dead and around me are dead men that fought like tigers only to be butchered in a matter of minutes.
after some time i reckon 1-3 hours of the Aku-no looking for people alive where i was, i was on the run to home i am first man to be in combat with them and survive to tell the tale Pvt, Thorn you are on lucky fucker that's what i am. and it will haunt me how i am lucky to be alive.
as i approach the gate i hear the roars of Aku-no they a cross of a howl and a scream of a human i will let you interpret what it sounds like. as i reach the gate i use the code to back in the sector they open the door slowly and cautiously not sure what was beyond the door but when they spotted me they rushed me inside to have me give a report about what happened.
they were far from shocked to hear my story of how i survived combat with the Aku-no and also made it back to tell about this was unheard of for mostly because no one came back on these missions even if some did they weren't in combat only heard it.
"what is your rank and name" a man with a cross asked me.
"Pvt, Thorn of unit 3"i replied with the look of someone who understands a lot of things know like that AHA look when you finally got something, that was my look but with a hint of i don't want to go back to that place and for what i have seen and heard i don't wont to. the man steps outside to give a report of how i am doing he says that i should be promoted to that of a rank that can command 14 Units out on the filed.
why would they do that all i did was survive a battle with the Aku-no...… yea i understand why now. i am the only person i history to fight, fool and survive to tell a tale about it other have come close but not as close as i have.
then a man i would presume of high rank walks in to the tent and address me "Pvt, Thorn i am here to promote from Pvt, to Unit Team Commander or UTC, for short. so how about it UTC, Thon. a whole 14 units to your liking, that means your training program your, insignia and team number" oh yea i forgot teams are composed of 14 units which is 70 men.
maybe i will can become important.

World Story: Biographies of Extraordinary People
Important note: I’d like to thank Dr. Buller for their advice on dialogue by their critical review. And I’m on a one-month break to post the first revised chapters on Scribble Hub. Please stay tuned! Even in faraway worlds, every folk had a story, and monsters came in numerous shapes and sizes. However, heroes never existed in this otherworld. Even the most idealistic understood this deep within. But as they abandoned their humanity at times, they quickly regained it. It was not that they became human again. They always were. So what happened when the monster devoid of humanity appeared? Well, the “heroes” sought to slay it at all costs either way, lest it would be the end of their stories. A portal/isekai fantasy that I wanted to deconstruct some elements within. Expect a whole ton of references and dialogue because I’ll deliberately write it more like a light novel. The last thing to consider is that Japanese names in my novel will come with kanji/hiragana characters within parentheses. The same goes for any other derived from non-Latin writing systems. It’s because none of the names I write will be accidental or random. They’ll all have meaning. New chapters Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM (GMT+8), though sometimes I can’t. Credit for the cover art goes to HWPerfidy. She’s a freelance artist on this site, and I’d love anyone who shows her support.
