 -Sofiena-

"FIRE! FIRE!" The bullets were raining down from the mountains we were perched upon. I was stationed at a mortar turret, but unlike I applied for - aiming and firing the damn thing - I was stuck loading shells into the chamber. We were the Nazi armies. We were in the unknown territory. But it's not Hitler pushing us onto our feet into our helmets. It was a leader named Alfritzk Melithengh. We had the same goal; take the world; the people who live in it. We were firing at a small army, called themselves the Manifestation, they were just that, a manifestation of our enemies, what we didn't want to see in the middle of the night. What we did want to see was them on their knees. And that's what we would get. Arfritzk would have nothing less. But I was losing my cool, fumbling shells, it was a nightmare. "DREMT!" Soon as I heard my name called I knew I was done for, but I picked it up, and just acted like it never happened, Arfritzk grabbed my shoulder and swung me towards him and yelled with his heavy German accent, "DO I NEED TO SHOW YOU PUSSIES HOW TO LOAD AND LAUNCH A FUCKIN SHELL?" "NO OBERSTUHRMFUHRER!" was called back almost immediately, but I only mouthed the words, my voice not ins sync with my lips. I loaded the shell and yelled "FIRE!" The shell was lodged straight into a Manifestation tank, it exploded and launched everyone from the tank, I looked left as Pvt. Marl fell and hit her head against a rock and a bullet. "DAMMIT, FUCKING GET DOWN THE MOUNTAIN!" Arfritzk started to yell as the rest of the soldiers slid down the rock side. I took the M1 off my back and slid down the mountain, my helmet flew off and hit Sgt. Miklevf in the face. I tried sliding down faster by pulling my body closer to my arms, but at that moment, I hit a rock jutting out and went flying, face first i started plunging towards the bottom of the mountain. All I could hear was my screams and the wind howling through my ears, but something wrapped around my foot and lifted me up as quickly as I was falling, and I saw good old Marianna. She dropped me in front of her onto the ground as I took in the scene. The Manifested were everywhere, trying to surround me and Marianna, "Get up Sofiena!" She picked me up off the ground and practically threw me to my feet. I aimed and pulled the trigger but when nothing came out of the barrel, I checked and noticed that the magazine wasn't in the M1, "Must've dropped it at the shells... Sheisse..." 

The Manifested took us, me, Marianna, Arfritzk, and Sgt. Miklevf into an APC, they all had black masks with red around the eye holes, and they all had AR's, Ak-74u's, and other assorted assault rifles pointed at us. Sgt Miklevf started speaking in German and the Manifested  started talking amongst themselves as Miklevf kept getting louder and louder, asking where we were going and why we were the only ones in here. Me and Arfritzk were smart enough to keep silent, because two seconds after Miklevf got louder than a yell the guy next to him rammed a rifle butt into his face, knocking him out cold. I let out a small squeal and looked at Miklevf, his jaw was slack... And I knew where we were going... 

 You don't have to be a genius any more to know what the Manifestation is REALLY made up of... Cannibals, rapists... All of them criminals pulled from their cells and told to take a rifle and shoot our heads off our shoulders if they wanted to be let free. I learned it before the truth was let out, before I joined the Kampf... The name of our armies meant "Struggle", cus that's what our entire army has to deal with... Maybe... Neither did it take a genius to know hat their main base of operations was... 

"Byahahahahaaah!" Prisoners... They threw us on the ground in a batch of prisoners, all clad in orange and wielding shivs and other DIY weapons... I felt wood connect with my nape so fast and hard I thought myself dead. My face connected with the ground and I tried getting back up, only to be met with a clap to the face with wood. I cried out, "BASTARDS!" Only to be picked up and staring face to face at a Manifest. She looked at me, first my eyes, then my lips, nose, ears, then punched my chest and threw me onto Miklevf, who was already knocked out cold again. I just tried getting back up... Over... And over... AND OVER AGAIN... Maybe to try and intimidate them... But every time I got up, a different soldier hit me down... Arfritzk threw a punch and hit the woman who picked me up, flinging her to the ground. A board hit him in the crotch and then the back of the head... 
"STOP!" Me and Arfritzk had the same idea, look forward... Then all there was was smoke.
