The World We Do Not Know - 136 Next Round

All the countries started to dig, mine and burn the mother Earth for the resources to make weapons and continued until they ended up using everything and the mother Earth started to crumble as fragments into the thick and dark space as if it’s not being held together as a sphere anymore, causing tsunami’s and volcanic eruptions and many other weathering occasions.

The atmosphere became dense with all the polluted particles in air making it hard for humans to breathe and massive earthquakes which were never measured or recorded in the history ever before. It was the worst nightmare of the mankind ever.

Many countries were flooded by their natural heritage of mountains and seas. It is estimated that all of the land went underwater. And only 1% remain surfacing on earth. The tectonic plates movement started to happen leaving the earth with only one continent divided by a huge rigorous one big ocean. And some of the  earth’s tectonic plates were left as small islands scattered around earth and became abandoned and uninhabited. Mindoro is one of those islands bigger in size which wasn’t discovered by the world, because of harsh nature surrounding it acting as a barrier without letting any human to even discover this island with the advanced technology they have.

There are two more villages on the island along with Mindoro. Even though Mindoro is casted away from the rest of the world, the people who used to live at that time has preserved the language and farming and field cultivation and many cultures and literature and later passed them down to their younger generations.

After the earth has settled from the catastrophic events. The global leaders of every nation came together and discussed about forming a single country, a single rule and a single government to avoid making same mistakes over and over that ate the earth to bits.

This is the dream of all the leaders who has fantasized about world peace. All the Nations came together and formed a single giant country and everyone thought there won’t be any fights anymore and that everyone could live happily and peacefully.

If only this was true.

The single country would have to take up on all of the languages and cultures and history from the past thousands of years and absorbing them is isn’t as easy as they thought. Currencies and democracy didn’t have singular opinion on which one they should decide upon as there should only be one currency on the entire planet.

However, there is a better side to it as everyone came together united to tackle the problem the earth has faced with climate changes and greenhouse effects. Every country shared their own technologies, the acts of war is eliminated, quality of life in this giant single country has become very balanced and having only one global currency across the country, reduced the economic power and the need of currency exchange was erased. Resulting with every human being able to afford for his own health.

However, again, there are many who opposed to this and the reasoning is about a wrong person being put in charge of the entire planet and this caused massive revolution. Some leaders forced their political ideologies into the minds of people under them, making them into thinking that there is no other democracy greater than their own, which has lead to genocides and religious issues and erasing the democracies by wars and force is the option that people choose.

The people split in two with different agenda’s and thus the two nations Aztec and Agartha has formed.

“A sword?” Faust asks in surprise.

“What? didn’t you know about any sword fighting martial arts? you heard about kick boxing but never heard about a sword?” Gus asks as he thinks with a paining expression showing on his face.

*”What happened to the weapon and culture of the one, who used to hold a sword and who set principles  to their own life and who used to fight by their principles by putting their lives along with their honor on only sword and no other use of weapons or no back hand plays, what happened to those brave warriors who thinks dying in a war is a great honor than fleeing from the enemy like a cowardice”*

Gus feels in his heart as he feels flustered and sad because the legends of such brave swordsmen has and is being erased from the history like it never existed before.

Breaking the silence, Faust tells Gus what he knew – “well I just heard about most of the martial arts names that involves fighting, but I never heard of any fights with a sword, what is a sword?” – Faust asks with curiosity.

“well, you know about the kitchen knives right? A sword is the same but have a longer blade and a grip to hold on to and its intended to thrust and slice whatever that comes in its way and this superhero I’m going to tell you about has immerse respect and love towards swords, but somehow the sword that he uses is a little curvy and has been crafted by the gods in heaven from what I heard.” Gus replies to Faust.

“So Faust, outside Mindoro there used to be one huge land and a giant country.” Gus tells Faust.

“Ehhhh I didn’t know… A huge land? Without ocean surrounding it? ” Faust is surprised, for him Mindoro is the only land he knew. He didn’t know something so vast existed outside Mindoro and he has never thought about it either until his grandpa mention it to him.

“Yes And the giant country broke and became two, both of the Nations suffered huge loss, the weapons and artillery became to be made once again, the taxes are increased way high to make weapons of war.”

*”War? People suffered? The people outside must be so bad”* Faust thinks to himself

“The earth itself at that time when two nations just formed has gone through many changes and the technologies of both nations accomplished new heights and during this, the people of both nations suddenly got their hands on infinite amount of resources.” Gus continues on with his story.

“Electricity, air, atmosphere and power to change the reality. Both the Nations have achieved these things within their grasp and as anticipated, both nations started a war for power struggle with the newly found resources and enhanced weapons. A new world war took place.”

“During this war a small band of 5 soldiers were washed away to the shore of a small village surrounded by mountains and hills, which no one knew existed before. However, even after being washed off to shore from the ocean, one of them seemed conscious. He was also badly injured, but for some reason he was still standing very strong and compelling.”

“The soldier looked like he’s between 18-20 with long hair tied backwards. He was holding the four soldiers who washed to shore with him tightly, one in each of his hands, one in between his legs and the last one he bite the vest that the soldier was wearing and was carrying him using his teeth and neck muscles.”

“His hands were tightly holding onto the bullet proof vests that the soldiers were wearing. His grip on the vests from both of his hands were so tight as if his hands were tightly locked to the vests as he was holding them. The vests were even shredded and ripped at the spot he was holding them, that is how powerful his grip seemed. It’s almost like he could crush rock Boulders with his bare hands.”

“The weight he carried with his body would be around 400 – 500 kg as the soldiers were well built. The solider that was being carried by his teeth would weight around 80kgs, and he held them tight in this harsh ocean and whirlpools and got here?” The villagers standing before him are watching in disbelief.

Gus continues on with the story.

Back in 5015

The man carrying them is very much determined to save the lives of his friends, he carried them and drag them to safety onto the shore. Then he filled his lungs full of air and shouted -“please save my friends” with a very loud and clear voice that resonated the whole village.

He was standing tall as a proud warrior who prefers death over dishonor, and as the people are approaching him, they can see  every fiber in his muscle is twitching and soaring as if they’re crying. He seems to be feeling a sharp pain in his bones as if someone is carving his bones while he is alive. Yet he still stands tall as his body is letting out hot steam made visible as the rays of a setting sun hit his body and his blue eyes were black as if he was knocked unconscious long ago and as though his body is just moving on his sheer will. He really seemed like a true warrior who never gives up no matter what and keeps fighting the oceans, enemies and even gods until he changes his fate himself.

This was the first time something hit Gus hard on his lazy and unmotivated life. He realized that humans with inhuman capability exist and that is the power of ones sheer will.

The body of the warrior who seemed stronger than anyone in the village has ever seen suddenly started to fall as though the body is assured that the 4 soldiers are safe and the task given to the body is completed and fell onto the ground as if the life stopped inside the body completely.  15 year old Gus know something was wrong so he rushed toward the soldiers and caught the falling body. As soon as he held the soldier in his hands, the hairs on Gus body stood up as if he witnessed something incredible.

*Is this the pride of a warrior?* Gus thought to himself.
