(How long has it been? Forever? Read the other fics.)

How long has it been since we played this dirty game? I always ask myself that before battling the hounds of society we call life. I always knew life wasn't fair, but I never knew life would get up and personal. He was going to enter an all out brawl. And only the strongest would survive this.

Lifting the PSG-1 slowly, I advanced towards the tower. Sure, the enemy could see me, but I wasn't stupid enough to not have support fire! Down below was my best man, Matt Cohen, obliterate the troops that ran past him. He was literally known to be invisible. The bullets whizzed past him, yet none made contact. His gunfire could be heard many miles away, and gave my ears a rang for weeks. I crouched in my position, aiming the crosshairs at the enemy. They were dropping like flies at this point. I was basically laying now. I could feel the stifling cold get to my ribs and shake slowly. Chilled sweat raced down my scalp. I knew that we wouldn't hold the position for very long. Finally, the true enemy appeared. I smirked at the sight of the man. It was a smile of irony, not hapiness, that was wiped across my face. For my foe was Ochi, the brother of a great friend. I kept whispering to myself, to keep myself alive. "One shot...One shot...One shot." I was barely able to pull the trigger. One last bang, and everything went silent.

I let out a loud shriek as my eyes opened. I rubbed them before looking around. I was in my room, and had another nightmare. Hitting the side of my bed, I crawled out and got onto my computer. Surely someone had an explanation, but nobody did. They were in awe that I was actually on my computer. Maybe we should start from the beginning, shall we?

"Death is beginning of life. Life is the beginning of everything."

Another normal day. Waking up, getting ready, playing outside, spending time with my brother, and then getting on the computer. Today, however, was a special day. Today was when everything would never be the same again. Logging onto Habbo, the truth was slowly revealing itself. I walked through the room, all across it hearing remarks like, "Hey Kab! What's up nub? hi kaboose4," and others. There was a lone man, sitting with his back turned towards me in the corner. I tapped the side of his shoulder, and he turned around slowly.

"I'm disbanding the NNA." Everyone went dead silent, as if someone had died. To this day, nobody knows why he did it. Not even I. Word went around quickly. "Matt Cohen is closing down the NNA!" Soon enough, there was a huge revolt. Many deaths were involved, and I was one of the people who had to fight off the rebellion. It bothered me. Why do we have to fight in a Civil War? I was literally fighting my friends, and watching others get butchered. No wonder Shinobi extinguished all emotions. They had to toughen up for things like these. To me, it was very...disturbing.

There was one in particular, Winry, who put up an excellent fight. He went on to become a step brother of mine, and married Sakura. Now, Sakura is dead, as well as Winry's friend Zead, thanks to me. But you can wait for Fic 9 to hear about that, right? Moving on, even though he wasn't the toughest warrior, he was the most valient. Go figure, this noble youth was trained by the teachings of many strong people.

After many battles, the NNA was finally lifted once more, but I never saw Matt Cohen again. So after Matt Cohen disappeared, I disappeared from Gaia, leaving many behinds due to some faults I had made. But the worst part was, I never saw Skyria again either. Cancer left her to die, and even though she survived, I still never see her. Ochi also disappeared from my sight. But that isn't the worst part of the tale.

A week or so later, I disappeared from it all. Vanished, into the black abyss of darkness. As I navigated through the dark tunnel, I began to lose my memory of all this. Everyone I met here, and on Habbo. And all the missions I had and have embarked upon. I felt as if I had become a vessel of pain and sorrow. And brainwashed puppet, without a purpose to do anything. In real life, you could say the life of the party was drained from my body completely. School also posed an issue. Sometimes I thought about returning, but it never happened due to school work.

There are five people in particular I would like to see again. Skyria and Ochi. They used to be my excellent friends, and I wish I hadn't lost sight of them. And then there is Dai. I used to call her Moony though. I don't understand why her though, even though she abused me quite a bit. Matt Cohen would have to be up there as well. He is and will always be an inspiration in my life with his funny sayings and other stupid stuff he does. Then lastly, Chainsaw Wonderland! Woman, if you are reading this, you better start talking to me! Wow, this seems like a memoir then a fic. Let's get back to the story.

Wait, I already showed you the end of the story! You'll have to wait till Fic 9 to find out the juicy details of what I did when I did get online. Even though I rarely did. Till next time!
