The Tragedy of The Past

A siren has been hauled, telling all civilians in Corneria Capital City that there's urgent announcement coming up. "Attention, all civilians. The Corneria City has been under attack by an unknown force. Please evacuate to the nearest shelter immediately." I was there with my parents and my little sister, when the siren went off. There's a massive panic and people from different races ran wildly toward the shelter. I was being carried by my father while my sister was with mother and ran toward the nearest shelter which happens to be one block away from our location.

At first I didn't know what was happening and why all the people are running to that place. I saw my sister start to cry since she hates crowd people. Then I heard a loud engine coming from above. I look up and saw six or seven black plane pass by from left to right. I asked my father but he ignored me and kept running. I was beginning to afraid when I heard gun shots and explosions and started to cry but my father tried to cheer me up by patting my head. Being a seven years old marsupial rodent, experiencing the war for the first time really craved in to his mental and became traumatized. But my sister may suffer more since she was a year younger than me.

When all of us arrive at the entrance of a shelter I saw four more planes pass by, but the plane were different from before because they are white. I asked my father what are they and he replied that they are Star Fox team lead by a famous ace pilot James Mc Cloud the organizer of the Star Fox team. Hearing my father said that calmly makes me calm as well. But all of us weren't out of danger yet since I heard the explosion getting louder and louder. Thus we went in to the shelter.

The shelter itself were large, large enough to hold at least five to six hundred people, complete with shock absorbent concrete wall, blast door, monitors, and vents. What's more is that the shelter itself was buried forty feet under the city, so the only entrance is through the blast door where everybody can see.

For nearly six hours we all stayed there listening numerous of explosion from above. The monitors only viewed outside of the shelter. Buildings were in flames, smokes appear from the rubbles, many people that didn't make it were lying on the ground covered with red liquid. My mother told me and my sister to look away from the monitors, but my eyes stuck to the monitor like glue. I asked my father what they are doing lying down not moving. My father told me that they are resting forever and not waking up again.

I didn't know what my father meant after I reach age 11 when my father passed away from a car accident. My sister and I cried nonstop and my mother was in state of shock. As the only male on my family I promise that I will protect my family, but I failed miserably. About a year and a half after my father's death, our home has been pillage by a group of bad people. My mother tried to stop them but was killed in the process leaving only me and my sister completely defenseless. I was beaten like there is no tomorrow, and my sister was... forced till she loose her will to live. When they were through with both us and took all of our belongings they dumped us. I was completely beaten, three of my ribs broken leaving me hard to breath, my arms and feet were tight up. To me this is nothing, but my sister was far worse than me. Her eyes show an empty souls, her privates were bleeding, her bodies show sign of bruises everywhere, her body were covered with strange liquid that come out of male part. I tried to call her many times but she's not responding. After an effortless attempt of calling her, I drag myself to the front door where they left. The pain on my chest was killing me, soon afterwards I cough blood. I'm guessing that I have an internal bleeding but where I don't have the foggiest idea. When I reach the outside I tried to get some attention from the neighbors but to no avail. My vision start to blur and my strength were seeping away. I tried to yell one last time but it is no use because my voice was gone from exhaustion. "Am I really going to die here, is this how my life end, why did I live so miserable," are the thoughts that running through my head. My eyes are getting heavy, I have reached my limit. But then I heard voices. I don't know whose voices from and I didn't care, just please save my sister. So I passed out without knowing what will happen next.

I woke up in a white place; I didn't know where this is until I smell a sterilized floor reminding me of hospital. ‘How long was I asleep?' I asked myself. I tried to move but somehow I'm immobilized. I looked at my body that I was strap on to my bed, life supports were attaches to my body. The awkward part was my body was wrapped from top to bottom. I tried to free myself from the strap because I was worried about my sister.

Soon afterwards two nurses and a doctor came in to inspect me. The doctor happens to be a panda and by the size and shape of the body I can guess that it is he and probably young. And for the nurses one of them is a lioness and the other one is a doe. "Ah... Good morning there little one, or should I say good afternoon," said the panda with a strong calm voice. "You shouldn't be struggling around since you had an internal injuries, more over several dislocated joints and also you will have a hard time to breath since there was a swollen blocking your throat. But it will subside in due time."

I was surprise about my injuries and yet I'm still alive and yet did he just say good afternoon? "Excuse me, Doctor..."

"It's Doctor Fong. Doctor Law Fong. I'm sorry for the late introduction, Mr. Bandicoot." Said doctor Fong introducing himself.

"Alright, doctor Fong. How long was I asleep?" I asked in whisper since I had a swollen on my throat.

"You were out cold for almost three weeks since the day you were brought in to the hospital." He replied while inspecting my injuries. He rubbed my left arm looking for any abnormalities, but to my surprise that his hand were soft making me calm and relax. "It looks like your injuries are almost healed. The ointment that I coated to you works perfectly, although you might feel sore for a moment."

"Tell me about it, Doc." I said after receiving a massage from the Doc himself. "By the way, how's my sister doing?"

The doctor's action went halt and the nurses done the same thing as well when I asked about my sister, and that makes me felt uneasy for some reason. "Is there something wrong with her?" I asked with a low growl tone because of their reactions. "Tell me is there something wrong with Alyssa!" I asked again and this time louder than before.

The doctor continued his work but what I felt is different, as if he didn't know what to do anymore except continue his work aimlessly. Doctor Fong began to speak after a silent treatment he gave me for several minutes, "Another doctor is keeping an eye on her. Sometimes I went to her room just to check her up. I maybe a new doctor, but what I saw from her is a lifeless body. Right now she is in coma state."

I was completely shocked by his report, hearing that my sister Alyssa was in coma makes my heart stop beating. "She is in coma; tell me what is wrong with her?" I asked and this time I asked in fear.

The Doctor began to explain in details, "Your sister, Alyssa, came in almost the same moment when you came. The good news is her injuries weren't as bad as yours. The bad news is that she's umm..." he began to hesitate either hard to say or hard to describe. "How should I said this... she was raped, if you what that means." I can only nodded slightly with or without knowing what it means. "The other doctors found there are traces of sperms at her mouth, genital and her anus, and she losses lots of blood. They tried to save her, but she seems to shut herself up as if she didn't want to live anymore feeling guilty and miserable." I heard her conditions were far worse than me even I don't sense that my eyes started watering with tears. "If this keeps on going, I'm afraid that she won't last long." The doctor ends his report and lowers his head feeling sympathy toward me. The nurses that were here heard and felt the same way.

After hearing his reports and then rewind it again and again in my head, I lose my conscious and started to bewildered, "no... NOOO......!" I yelled from the bottom of my heart and started shaking myself off the bed.

"I was afraid of this," said Doctor Fong after standing up and avoiding my rage. "Maria. Call the other doctors and bring me the tranquilizer drug. Kyra, help me hold him down." Maria the doe went outside to the counter for an emergency calls, while Kyra the lioness help Doctor Fong grabbed hold of me that went berserk.

For fifteen long minutes struggling to hold me down another doctor or two and another nurse came in, helping Doctor Fong and Kyra to hold me down. Maria the doe went in after them with a syringe on his right hand/paw/hooves and gave it to Doctor Fong. Doctor Fong struggle to hold my right arm and told Maria to apply the antiseptic, he then injected me with that same syringe. Even though I was berserk, I feel my conscious slowly slip away and by the time I know it I was asleep again.

The doctors and nurses slowly backed away from my sleeping form. One of the doctors fixes his uniform after a hard struggle while another one and the nurse panting slightly. Kyra and Doctor Fong were completely exhausted from holding me down and Maria was trembled lightly seeing my reaction.

The doctor that fixes his uniform was an ox and he began to spoke, "What happened here?"

Doctor Wong is having a hard time to breathe and yet he answered. "He went berserk after hearing his sister's condition."

"Sister?" he asked again, "Was it the one that came in with him?" Doctor Fong nod slightly giving the correct answer.

"Well I'm no surprise with that reaction," said the other doctors which happens to be a sky-blue dragon with a white hair. "But what I'm surprise more is the strength he had for his age."

"Well that highly usual for me since I've been like that sometimes," said Kyra the lioness. The rest looked at Kyra in slight curious. "It's a reaction when he went berserk; he became stronger than his usual self without realizing it."

"I see what you mean. But still why did you tell him about her conditions?" asked the ox.

"I felt sorry for him since he has no family left except his sister, and now she is in comatose and has a low chance of surviving. I just can't stand it myself."

"You are still a trainee, Fong. And I can understand how you feel," said the sky-blue dragon. "But you must keep it silent until further notice, just for a safe keeping. And by the way, although it was out of regulations, your ointment seems to work just fine. Let's keep it between us okay?" and with it the dragon, the ox, and the other nurse went outside leaving only Maria, Kyra, and Doctor Fong in the room.

After a long silent Maria start to talk slowly, "What should we do now?"

"For now we let him sleep hoping that his head will cool off when he wakes up. I need to take a break for awhile. You two earn it as well."
