Ares walks out of the house with the help of clutches and his right arm in an arm sling. He instantly gets blown away by the sight his eyes are met with. He finds himself surrounded by gra.s.sy terrains all around him with hills, and a small village in the middle. A beach could be seen faintly across the mountains.

There are small, steep trekking steps to get down from the hill that Gus house is located on and the stair way is curved. There is room for only one foot on each step. It really looked like a stairway to h.e.l.l. It could really become one if they were not careful enough. It is certainly not for the weak hearted. One needs to be careful of the slippery wet steps. And with strong winds blowing in the midway, it is naturally hard for a normal person to crawl down and even harder for Ares to get down as he cannot use the strength of his two feet completely.

"Mr. Ares, would you prefer going down with a rope way?" Gus asks with consideration.

The rope way is good for two people at a time and a person needs to pull the rope to make the wheel move. The cart will travel in any way they chose to move it.

"No no, no need for you to use any force" Alex tries to speak, but before he could - Out of nowhere Yang suddenly takes a long leap and jumps down the hill from the peak without any hesitation.

For Gus who has no idea about the superhuman strategy of advance technology panicked and worried at the sight of seeing Yang jumping down the mountain.

"What?? Mr.Yang! Oh no, this is bad!!" Gus is greatly in shock at what Yang has done and rushes to the cape to see what has happened to him.

Yang is wearing two leather gloves which seem to be reinforced with steel near the knuckles but what draws our attention to it is, there is a red stone on the palms of his gloves which started to emit a red aura, the red mist like aura swirled around his arms like a snake coiling around branches.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.

Yang seems like he is getting ready to aim at the ground by drawing one of his arm behind him and his other arm in front of him.

*Oomph!" he threw a punch in the air as he approaches the foot of mountain. It's nothing different from him punching the air. Following his punch, a strong gust of wind is created around Yang, as though he has blasted a canon, which decreased the falling momentum of Yang. In mere 5 seconds after Yang jumped off the mountain, he landed on the ground normally as though he is hopping on the ground.

"Wh... what in the world did I see just now?!" Gus panicked upon seeing such power and strength displayed in front of him. He was of all more surprised and curious of the gloves that Yang was wearing, as Yang's gloves are now back to normal with the red stone looking dormant and the aura disappeared into thin air.


"pfff, yeah, what a show off. Doing a little circus trick to impress people. So mature of him." Tanya says with an arrogant and smirking smile and none of the soldiers on top of the mountain standing with Gus seemed surprised. In fact the look on the soldier's faces shows displeasure.

"Oh! So our tools are fixed this fast? No wonder having you with us is a big relief" Ares praises Alex with his words and starts to climb down off the hill using the small steps.

Even though the winds are strong and the steps are too small that it is hard to climb down for a normal person and for people like Ares its almost impossible. But to Gus's surprise, Ares and the rest are comfortable getting down the mountain without any problem. They do it while talking to each other about different things. Actually, it's Gus who is being left behind unable to keep up with the soldiers as he keep rus.h.i.+ng down to catch up with the soldiers.

"Oooof! It was easier than I thought it would be, eh? Now, my saviour Gus, let's go see and explore the island" Ares is moving all around in excitement and jumping around like a kid, as if he wasn't hurt at all.

"Cap'n are you really hurt?" Albert asks with a smirk and suspicion written all over his face while Ares nervously just laugh it off without saying a word.

As they continue to walk, the soldiers comes across the dogs and hens that welcomed them on the streets. The people too started recognizing the wounded soldiers that were washed ash.o.r.e. Everyone started to greet them and wish them to recover soon. Each of the villagers tried to grab and take the soldiers to their houses as guests, to introduce many things to the soldiers as they walk by.

"We also have guinea pigs over here." A women says while pointing her finger towards a fence and a little garden with a little house built for guinea pigs.

"Guinea pigs? Oh wow guinea pigs, I see them in the garden." Ares face lit up as he see guinea pigs in the lady's garden.

"You don't see guinea pigs in cities and concrete jungle nowadays." Alex says.

"But why Guinea pigs? Are they just your pets?" Tanya asks the lady who showed them.

"Yes..." The lady replies with a smile.

"Oh wow! This lady also has some vegetables and mint leaf growing in her small garden" Ares talks excitedly like a little child.

"Are you cultivating on this land?" Yang asks the lady.

"Yes, me and my sister Tisha(age-18) cultivate and grows vegetables in this garden. The chicken eggs help us earn a little money and our dogs here guard the garden and guinea pigs" Rissa (age -22), the lady who invited them over to her garden explains to Yang.

"Who is the person hiding behind you all this while?" Tanya asks Rissa with curiosity and she peeks over Rissa shoulder to get a better look at who's behind her.

Year 5015- Mindoro in the past

Captain Ares!, Captain Ares! ...  Wake up, Ares!"- The four soldiers saved by their captain stand beside his bed with their arms and legs wrapped up in bandages, as Ares tries to opens his eyes

"Aryyyyyyy!!..... You are finally awake after 3 weeks of sleep, I was so worried about you" A very fair female soldier, with sparkling eyes, long eyelashes and an exquisite nose, says worryingly in the face of Ares while being awkwardly close to him.

"What the..." Ares (age - 20) confusedly tries to get up, but his body does not respond to any movement he make.

"What happened to my body?" Ares asked in surprise.

"All of your muscles and tendons got torn apart. 7 broken ribs, and multiple fractures." Gus (age - 15) replies while he is preparing medicine few meters away from Ares sitting at his desk.

All the soldiers were living with Gus in his house on a hill, a little far from the village.

"As the kid says, Captain, you were badly hurt and been on bed for 3 whole weeks. The villagers and this kid took good care of you and us. Tanya, move your goofy face away from captain's!, let him breathe." Says another soldier with gla.s.ses, he seems to be a very smart, yet nerdy person.

"I'm not a kid oi, I'm almost the same age as you all, just a little short.... arghhhh!" An annoyed Gus shouts to the soldier who called him a kid.

"Among the 50, only five of us survived. The enemy s.h.i.+ps were a.s.sisted by storms and whirlpools. We lost our soldiers. This shows what happens to a squad if their captain is a young lad. Almost every squad has experienced people as their cap'n and just because you were considered a genius, we are now stuck with someone who is the same age as us. Some genius who managed to get his entire troop killed." A soldier with a tattoo of Chinese letters on his right arm belittles Ares with a rather arrogant voice, filled with hatred.

"You are right. I'm sorry that we lost them because of my incompetence"- Ares replies with a grim  and gentle look on his face. He is ready to take the blame and shoulder the weights of the dead as his sole responsibility. He feels it was his fault that they had died.

Gus seems surprised and could not digest the fact that Ares saved 4 men without a thought about his own life and brought them to safety all by himself and yet, he blames himself for what happened? This triggered Gus and he was about to speak up for him, but was stopped by what he heard from on of the soldier.

"No-not at all Ares. If you haven't ordered us to sail the s.h.i.+ps into the storm, we wouldn't have gotten rid of the enemies on our tail. If we kept continuing to fight, none of us would be alive here. I'm deeply thankful to you for saving me" - the youngest of all soldiers, Alex (17), replies with hesitation and grat.i.tude while bowing his head down with utmost respect towards Ares.

Hearing what Alex said, Gus really didn't have anything to say and his heart settles down.

"Also someone else might still be alive just like us. I'm sure of it" - Tanya (19) the female soldier adds soothing words along with Alex.

"Alex, Tanya, thank you for your kind words, but it doesn't change that everything happened because of my orders, I'm the one responsible for the lives of my subordinates." Ares replies bitterly.

"Not at-" Albert, the soldier with gla.s.ses (21), tries to say something but was interrupted in the middle by the soldier with the tattoo.

"As far as you remember what had happened, you are making our party a weak one, with your ideals, inexperience and feelings." Yang(21) the soldier with the tattoo says, storming out of the room angrily.

"What did he say? Does he not even have little grat.i.tude for the person who saved his life?!"- Gus yells after Yang and tries to follow him.

"Please, why are you getting mad at him? That is how a military personnel should behave" Albert says while holding onto Gus's right arm stopping him from going outside to confront Yang.

The soldiers looks down as if they don't have anything to say to Yang.

The military soldiers shouldn't and aren't supposed to show any emotions or feelings, showing any is considered being weak. Ares always treats his subordinates as his own friends since they are all of same age, but for Yang, it is weakness and weakness is intolerable for him.

 He believes being cold and cutting off emotions from the heart is a better way to treat one's subordinates, only then can a person truly become strong. Not only Yang, but all the soldiers in modern-day were trained and raised that way since they were young children, they never experienced a motherly or fatherly love before.

"Oh Ares!, We still have two nano restoration syringes. If you take two of them you are definitely going to recover instantly." Alex excitedly reminds Ares as he takes out the syringes.

Nanoresucts or nano restoration syringes are heals for soldiers. When these syringes are injected directly into the nerves, the nano particles combined with a healing element(mixture of a healing substance that is available in main country) instantly start repairing the cuts, internal bleed and even fractures. No matter how much one is near death, when one injection of these nanoresucts is given, it will keep them alive at all costs.

"Huh? Recover instantly? But his whole body is damaged, it's gonna take him at least 8-12 months for his whole body to heal. Even after 12 months there is no guarantee that his body will go back to the way it was-s....." Gus starts uttering words without a pause.

Ares want to explain Gus about their heals, but it's a military secret, so he just changes the topic.

"Ahhh.... By the way Gus, I heard that you guys took care of us when none of us were able to move. I really owe you and your city big time. Let me meet the mayor." Ares asks one last favor from Gus politely and appreciating him at the same time.

"But Ares, its not like a city.... I don't really know how to tell you"-Alex, the another nerdy guy in the party checks and inspects around the island after he gained consciousness and strength to walk, and now he wants to show off his knowledge and nerd skills and impress his cap'n, that his nerdy behaviour is nothing less from a bada.s.s soldier's.

"What's a city?" Gus interrupts in the middle - "And what's a mayor? If you want to meet someone important, I can take you guys to the Village chief who lives at the foot of the mountain in the village, but there is no one called mayor here". 

"Village?" - Ares says in surprise 

"That's what I was going to tell you about Ares, this village is situated on something we studied in our books. Something which we did not antic.i.p.ate would exist. It is an island, an island with three villages which are 20- 30kms apart from one another. Also, one of the village seems to have some good weaponry too, It seems they harbour craftsmen and strategists in their village. I can tell by having a glance at their armors and barricades they have around the village. I have concluded this much." Alex proudly explains everything in a hurry and fear, that someone might interrupt him again.

"Yes, we got raided by a village 3 years ago. They  are well equipped in heavy armor and raised h.e.l.l, we tried to defend ourselves but in the end we lost everything. They have taken everything precious to me and the villagers." Gus says in a vicious voice.

The unnamed island has three villages situated on top of it with each village at the each corner of the island. One of the village is Mindoro, the other one called Caracus and the last one is Sable. Caracus is a village which chooses weapons over cultivating lands and seeks blood more than water. Caracus has been raiding both Mindoro and Sable from past 4 decades. Whenever the village goes low on resources and food, they raise a war over other villages. A recent raid happened 3 years ago on Mindoro and it took both of Gus's parents and ever since then Gus have been left alone, which is why he despises Caracus to the core but he couldn't do anything to take his vengeance out on them.

"An island you say? That is impossible. Did you really scout the area well?" Ares's face seems to be brightened up with what he had heard.

Hearing about an island is nothing to get excited about, but Ares and his party is living in the 51st century.  After the catastrophe, the earth only had one continent and no traces of islands has ever discovered by humans. Ares have only lived on a giant land which consisted, desserts, snow and spring all at once and they have only heard and read about the islands in history cla.s.ses and books. n.o.body living on the main land ever came across an island, so this is pretty much new and adventurous to Ares.

"Alex, fast inject me with the nanoresucts but only one is enough. We need to save the other one for ourselves if we get into trouble on our way back from here" Ares smiles very brightly and starts planning excitedly on what he should do on this island as he beckons Alex to give him the heals.

"Oohhhhhh... Cap'n, even after you are on bed without being able to move an limb, you still chose to take only one nanoresuct to save the other for us in future. You truly are our kind cap'n" Alex starts tearing up happily.

*"if we run into trouble my b.u.t.t, if I took two nanoresucts now, I will be fully healed and you guys will bug me to start going back to the mainland. We will be in war before we know it. If I took only one, it will be hard on my body, but I can stay here on this island until my body heals completely. Now it's time for me to run around this island and have a perfect holiday, heh! heh! heh!"* Ares laughs mischievously inside his mind

Alex takes out one of the nanoresuct, it is an injection but the fluid inside is green in color. The liquid is sparkling because of the presence of the nano particles inside.

As he inject the nanoresuct into his median vein forearm, Ares is able to get up and sit on his own in mere 20 seconds and is freely able to move his left arm easily, however his right arm feels piercing pain when he try to move it up and down. This makes Ares unable to move his arm well.  When he gets out of his bed to walk, his left leg is not able to bear his weight.

*"Hmm my right hand and left leg are in really bad shape, this is worse than I had imagined. Howeveerrr... heh! this island is lifeee!!!* Ares thinks to himself cheerfully...
