What Happened 5000 years ago too

After I said that short speech to Cromwell, the others in the room stared at me with smiles as they appreciate what I did to Cromwell. While we continued talking about the ongoing war on the surface, a group of scientist came from a sliding door with various checkboards. According to Cromwell, the checkboards hold every personal detail about every person that has been summoned in this remote location. They called for 68 people in the room, including Cromwell, but not me and my brothers. As the 68 members go up to the scientists to collect a badge, the head scientist, named Rowell, came up to me and my family. He goes up to my brothers and I and said,

"My emperor, Quantum von Imperion, the reason I didn't call for you or your brothers is because I want you 4 to be the commanders of this elite group known as the Titan Guardians. This group are the best of the best and do the most dangerous jobs known to humanity, this is why all 4 of you are the most eligible members to be commanders as you have trained to fight as well".

I agreed to the very large task they have given to me, to be the commanding officer of the Titan Guardians. I watched as all 68 other members look at me as if they want me to say something before they enter the pod. So I look up with pride on myself knowing there is a reason they chose these people,

"For years we have watched so many people, friends, family fall to the hands of the Apocalyptic Kingdom. No more shall we face this suffering, no more shall we cower in fear as the enemy march through the destroyed cities of our kingdoms. We will finally take the fight to them, take back our homes and bring peace to this planet once again. Are you with me?!".

Everyone looked and smiled at me with hope in their eyes and all replied, "For the Empire!" "For his Highness, Quantum!".

After we went through that brief moment of reassurance, we all went to our designated pods. My brothers were taken to another location with a more advanced pod capsule for the experiment, I stayed to talk with the head scientist. I asked if this is really the best idea, experimenting on teenagers and putting the fate of the world to our hands. He replied that we have the most compatibility with this experiment as we are in a good development phase. After that short conversation, I walked to the area my brothers were and they were already in their pods. I quickly went into my pod and the door started closing to prepare for the experiment, the pod started to put me in a massive deep sleep and did what is meant to be doing.

I have no idea how long I have been in stasis, but I can tell it has definitely been more than a few hours. When I'm starting to think when the procedure will finish, a smoke was released in my chamber to wake me up and the pod's door started releasing. My brothers and I started to slowly walk out of the pods and felt like we have power surging through our bodies. The others also started walking out of their pods and feel like they could take on so many things, everyone is starting to recover from the entire ordeal and I started talking to the other Titan Guardians. The scientists look gleeful as they watch the people who came out of the pods which ended the entire project in a success, they started to cheers they finally have a chance to free everyone from this pain and suffering.

We all went to another room where we get armoured up and prepared to go outside and deal with the enemy, the scientist explained that the armour connects to our bodies and activates upon command and is completely invincible. The chip was implanted onto the back of our hands and had the insignia of the Imperial Empire which surprised me, we all had a specific activation word to activate the armour we have designed for us. As we all finished preparing, we were now at the bunker's opening hatch so that we can take the fight to them.

The bunker started to open, every Titan Guardian started to activate their armour and loaded their weapons. The hatch was then fully opened and we started switching our armour to airborne mode to take to the sky and locate every single enemy in the capital. We take the skies and aided with local military with multiple firefights against the Apocalyptic Kingdom, due to the increase of power, we managed to defeat all of the enemies very quickly and without much effort. We managed to push back the enemies to the outskirts of the Capital and finish them off there, this is when things started to take a turn for the worse. the Kronion appeared with a hellfire of an army, at the front appeared the person I wished I never see on the battlefield...

Blossom, she is leading a massive army towards us, with a shining armour glimmering in black and red, I dread the thought of fighting a friend who I share a close bond deep in my heart. I watch as the other Titan Guardians look at me as to what we are suppose to do, I take a massive breathe in and exhaled to collect my thoughts once again.

"Cromwell, take 15 other Guardians and create a firing line at the wall, shoot anyone that gets past us, the rest of us will face the Kronion and the army head on. Got it?!"

Everyone shouted, "by your orders sir!"

I watch as Cromwell and 15 others fly to the top of the wall and activate the heavy weapons so that they can deal large amounts of people at once, I watch my brothers and the rest take positions facing an army of 30 million and a place where I stand in front of all of them. I took my place and watch as the others look like they are ready to die for the greatness of their people, I smile underneath my helmet. We all activated our most powerful weapon to face them head on, without a care that we might die from this final battle. The other side, Princess Blossom looked at me with a face of pain that we had to resort to battling each other to define what the world will end up after this long awaited battle. she then shook her head and covered her face with her helmet, she then ordered her troops to battle position.

In a swift action, Princess Blossom ordered her troops to attack. Helios ordered 20 Guardians to activate their long range weapons and fire at the rushing army, this depleted the rushing army's numbers a lot as we can reload very quickly and accurately. As soon as they reached our position, there were barely any soldiers left and were easily killed by other Guardians. The princess stood in shock as she watched 200,000 soldiers fall so swiftly, she then ordered the rest of her troops to follow her and attack them head on. I took notice on this and prepared myself for attack, this caused everyone else to attack but starting with long distance to reduce the number. Solaris took 9 other Guardians to deal with the Kronion, this left me with Helios and the other 47 titan guardians. While the Apocalyptic army quickly attempt to sprint to our location, we dealt with the rushing army with guns. Some soldiers managed to go past us and attempt to get inside the city but failed miserably due to Cromwell on the wall in firing range, I watch as some Titan Guardians fall due to being completely outnumbered which saddened me as they fought amazingly.

~~~~6 hours later~~~~~

There were about 66 Titan Guardians left and have almost obliterated the entire rushing army, all that was left was princess Blossom and 40,000 soldiers. I watch as Blossom prepares to attack me with all of her might with a sword and shield, I unsheathed my second sword and go into a battle stance. A rose petal from a tree that has been absolutely burned and scarred started to come off its branch and glide to the ground, this gave me and Blossom a signal that once the petal reaches the ground, we commence combat. The petal started to fly around me and Blossom until it finally touched the ground in between us, we started to sprint to each other and a silence, deafening the place, a sudden clash of blades can be heard.

Every slash we made towards each other created an almost immediate soundwave that rattled the surrounding area, everyone had to stop and watch a battle that could potentially end this dreadful war and define what its outcome will be. We will slashing each other back and forth like we were taking in turns, it felt like there was no end to what we are doing, a situation that can end in life or death for either party.

~~~~ 30 Minutes Later~~~~

It has been 45 minutes since we started out battle, none of us broke a sweat yet meaning we can still go on for a long while more. During the duel, I repeatedly keep thinking as to what I can do to end this without ending it in bloodshed. This was a grave mistake on my part as I was kept very off guard when pouring all of it in my thought, Blossom managed to break an opening and slashed me on my face and chest before I managed to regain my thoughts on the battle and block the rest of the attacks. I squinted in pain but quickly recovered as they weren't badly slashed, I attempted to fight back and was a bit successful as I managed to slash her face and hip. As soon as the slash was hit, I thought of a way to finish this battle but the outcome doesn't seem good.

when Blossom's sword is about to pierce my chest, I parried with my sword and create an opening. This allowed me pierce my sword into her chest, I dared not to look as I just killed a person I considered friend for years. When my eyes finally open and see what I did, my eyes looked directly at her eyes, the sword went right through her and right the other end. My eyes then looked down and saw the blood trickling on my sword and make multiple drips on the ground, especially the rose petal that initiated the fight. The sword that Blossom held, a pure red handle and a blade so crystal clear, now turned red like the rose. I named the sword the Blood Red Sword, to show the valour of how far she fought.

Blossom then holds out her hand and reaches for my helmet, trying to remove it so I took it off and here we stand, face to face and eyes looking straight to each other. she put her hand on my cheek and a tear rolled down my face, her final words were

"In another life, I hope instead of fighting against each other, we fight along side one another. I long for us to be close friends or maybe something even....more..."

She died in my arms, Solaris came up to me calling out to me, "Quantum. Quantum! QUANTUM!"

Until....
