## Chapter 1 | The Life We Had

As I set my goal, I begin gathering supplies, and going to our home's basement to collect fighting tools, a lot of old items me and Michael used to play with has become a star of hope, an army of memories, scattered across the dusty old basement, then I saw my big brother's samurai sword, a majestic sword he borrowed from his father, I still remember him once saying to me: "you know Chrys, when I grew up, I wanted to be just like our father, a samurai", I realized, its now my purpose, to fulfill his dreams.

## Chapter 2 | The Present Day

As I walked further into the dusty old basement, I found my dad's giant armor, sitting there. It quickly caught my eyes. I tried to remember my memory, the memories, memories we had, just me and my father. Yes, my father, a strong warrior with a heart as soft as silk, and a courage as big as a castle. His courage and big heart has taught me and Michael many things. He has taught us how to handle a weapon like a samurai, how to think like a samurai, and how to have the heart of a samurai, he has taught us how to be a samurai.

## Chapter 3 | A Photo

As I stared at wondered through the basement, I saw and old photo of my dad and me when I was a kid.

"I will never forget what (name of the enemy) did to my father", I said.

As I stared at the photo, memories flashed back in my head.

I saw myself hiding inside and old cupboard crying and terrified while the (name of enemy's group) clashed against my father's (name of group). There was a lot of chaos. My father came to hide inside the house where I was hiding. He was bleeding. Then the door banged open and there came (the group's leader/chief).

"Hide!" said my father.

As I watched, (the leader) stabbed him in the stomach and there, he fell dead.

When they were gone, I scrambled towards my father and knelt beside him, holding his hand.

"Father! Don't go! ... Please" I cried and cried until my tears turned into flood.

My father moved from his last dying strength and produced a turqouise bracelet from his pocket and said three last words of him that I will never forget. "I love you".

And there, the flashback went out and found myself crouching on the corner shaken by Michael.

"Hey, anata wa daijōbu? Are you okay?" he said anxiously.

"Watashi wa genki. I'm fine" I said as I straightened up. "Thanks"

"I prepared you your favorite ramen" said Michael.

"Okay"

I already felt hungry on my way to the house.

## Chapter 4 | The Phantom of Hell

Life in Japan was as peaceful as it could be, flying birds, people singing, but it all changed when our leader was killed by a wicked man, a man so evil that he killed his own brother. He is the living embodiment of evil, some people know him as the phantom of hell, the god of death, but we in Japan called him Jigoku no Kaijin. He and his followers barged into the castle gate like a bull on a red carpet, and quickly killed the king's wife, the king is forced to surrender, but even the whole Japan is not enough, he killed the king and burned his body. Now, all of Japan is under his power, and only my dad, Michael, and their fellow soldiers stand between him and complete destruction and chaos.
