Military life was not easy, in fact,it was a complete hell.

Work, intense training, risks in the field, everything led to a considerable amount of stress, and certainly to many deaths.

Simon, known in the base as "Ghost", knew this. He was the lieutenant of the military base Task Force 141, supported by his team, the strongest of all the soldiers

Simon was not an open man, he was always closed and reserved about his personal life. He never relaxed, until he found Axel

Axel Kitasuka, his family friend, With him, he had a different bond. They were like cat and dog, they hated each other more than anything, and they always ended up fighting on the field rather than working together

but even with that kind of relationship, those two had become very close, staying behind each other, defending each other on the battlefield

They were the perfect duo, but like all good things, they ended up falling apart..

there was a surprise attack from enemy soldiers, which led to an unorganized shootout

Simon ran behind a wall to protect himself from the bullets, but Axel wasn't that fast..

a bullet hit him straight in the chest, killing him in a cold blow, his body fell to the ground

Simon's eyes widened, as the enemy soldiers ran away, he ran to take Axel's body in his arms, screaming his name begging him to wake up. But it wasn't like that. Axel never woke up again.

Days after his funeral, Simon swore revenge, to make up for his mistake of not protecting him

For almost a year, he worked in secret with a scientist in a laboratory far from the base, creating that machine called time machine.

"You're sure it will work?" Simon asked, his voice cold, as the scientist pressed some buttons, turning the machine on

"There's only one way to find out. Go, and find your friend. But remember this,If you change the past, the present will change too." said the scientist

Simon nodded silently walking in the machine, closing his eyes

after a while, a dazzling light struck him. After a few seconds, his body was teleported back in time. It worked!

Simon looked around, feeling his head spin for the little time travel. It was a month before the surprise shooting, he was in the base, seeing the soldiers in the common room chatting as usual...

...and that's when...he saw him. hair as black as ashes, eyes as red as rubies: Axel. He was there, talking to his team members with his arms to his chest..he was alive...The time machine had really worked!?
