My Unforgettable Love

Year: 197 CE

Chapter 1

Tank arrives at New Sizzle and heads into the church

he sits down at one of the seats

Tank says: "..."

Tank says: "What should I do now.. I failed An.. I never got to getting rid of Luxuria.."

"..."

"I should see how Vinh is doing first. Maybe there's a telephone booth around here."

Tank goes outside and luckily finds a telephone booth. He puts in Vinhs number and starts to call her

Ring...

Ring...

Ring...

No answer

Tank says: "..."

He calls again

Ring...

Ring...

Ring...

No answer

Tank says: "She's not answering..."

"Shoot, what do I do now!?"

A knock knock is heard.

Somebody outside the telephone booth. It seems they have something to say to Tank.

Tank says: "Huh, hello?"

Person says: "Sir that telephone booth hasn't been working for 129 years already."

Tank says: "..."

"Oh"

"I need to call somebody, may I use your phone?"

Person says: "okay just don't break it"

The stranger gives Tank their phone. He uses it to call Vinh.

Ring...

Ring...

Ring...

Vinh says: "Hello?"

Tank says: "VINH"

Vinh says: "Tank!? Hey what's up! Did you change your phone number?"

Tank says: "Did you watch the news today?"

Vinh says: "No, I've been studying all day. What about the news?"

Tank explains the situation to Vinh

Vinh says: "WHAT"

"THE DANYA.. I'LL PUNCH HIM FOR YOU :rage:"

Tank says: "No, Vinh. You need to get out of Yamalia. The people know you're from Nakmai, they might attack you because of me"

Vinh says: "Well okay, but where should I go? And what about the university?"

Tank says: "Ah.. Where should we go.. uhh.."

"..."

"What if we went to find An?"

Vinh says: "..WHAT! NO WAY"

Tank says: "Why not!?"

Vinh says: "He left us all those years ago. Plus, he's probably dead by now, considering the Luxurian Empire.."

Tank says: "Vinh.."

Vinh says: "Also, what makes you think going to Luxuria will be any safer than staying in Yamalia."

Tank says: "I don't know.. I just want to see him again.."

Vinh says: "...Sigh"

"There's no way I'm going to convince you. Is there?"

Tank says: "..."

Vinh says: "You can go after him.. Just promise me you'll stay safe and won't die?"

Tank says: "Yeah, I promise."

Vinh says: "Don't expect me to come along. I'll be moving to Sizzle."

Tank says: "Alright.. I'll call you if I get the chance."

Vinh says: "Cya.."

beep beep

Person says: "Sounded deep"

Tank says: "Oh, uh, here's your phone."

Tank says: "Wait actually can you call an uber for me?"

And so, Tank starts his journey to Luxurian Nakmai/Nilastan, without any proof of An actually still being there.

He asks the Uber to take him to Linasgrad, since it has an airport he could use.

Though, after getting to the airport, he realizes he does not have any money to buy plane tickets.

Tank has to come up with a plan on how to get money. legally and maybe illegally.

He notice some old Abyysky junk on the ground and decides to sell it as old artifacts.

It somehow works. He earns enough money to buy a plane ticket.

Tank buys a ticket to Xining, Sizzle.

Tank arrives at the Xining airport, and now plans where to go next.

Tank decides to use the same path he did all those years ago when he had to run from Abyysky.

Except this time, he'll take a nice visit to the freezing cold mountains of Utsong :) Since he thinks An might still be in Nilastan.

Tank buys some winter clothes with the leftover money he has, just so he doesn't freeze to death. Though then again he's russian so he'll probably live a little longer than the average human.

Before he starts his grueling trip to Utsong, he remembers that Train Stations exist.

Tank heads back to Xining to figure out where the nearest Train Station is.

Tank finds a train station and illegally gets on board :)

After multiple days and nights, Tank eventually stops at the Nilastan Train Station. The last place where he saw An.

Tank says: "That was an unnecessarily long trip. Now, where could I find An?"

Tank realizes that he literally has no idea where An could be. There's a chance that he isn't even in the Luxurian lands anymore.

Tank says: "Wait, I just got an idea! An used to love posting on Social Medias.. Perhaps he has posted something about his whereabouts!"

"But. I don't have a phone, seems like I'll have to ask somebody."

Tank looks around and notices that literally nobody is at this train station. So he plans on going to the nearest Nilastan Town.. Which he has no idea where it could be!

Luckily, there's an old map on the train station. He notices that the most nearby town is (blah blah some town name)

Fortunately again for Tank, there's a path leading to that town too! So he follows it.

After multiple hours, he gets to this town. And.. there's actually people there.

Tank says: "Huh. I was expecting it to be much more deserted. Well time to see if somebody here has a phone."

...

...

...

Tank says: "Hello, do you have a phone?"

Stranger says: "somethign something in one of nilastan languages"

Tank says: "..."

"I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFOREHAND AHJHFHSJH"

Stranger says: "something somehting in one ofnilastan languages but sounds worried."

...

...

...

Tank says: "Hello, do you speak English?"

Stranger 2 says: "yes"

Tank says: "Do you have a phone?"

Stranger 2 says: "do you have phone?"

Tank says: "No? Do you?"

Stranger 2 says: "am not phone."

Tank says: "So you don't have a phone?"

Stranger 2 says: "i am no phone."

Tank says: "Wait are you saying you're.. NOT a phone?"

Stranger 2 says: "yes."

Tank says: "Sorry. I'm asking if you a telephone that you can use to call people."

Stranger 2 says: "I am not call people?"

Tank says: "IUHEWRUIEWRUIUWIWEURHUWIERUIWREUH"

...

...

...

Tank says: "Right.. Calm down Tank. You'll find somebody eventually. Nilastan is a smart country."

Stranger 3 says: "Um excuse me..."

Tank says: "Yes- WAIT YOU CAN SPEAK ENGLISH!?"

Stranger 3 says: "Yeah, uh, anyway.. I'm guessing you're a foreigner?"

Tank says: "Yes."

Stranger 3 says: "Um, I wanted to ask you if you could stop screaming at people?"

Tank says: "Eh- oh. I'm sorry, I just get.. easily angry sometimes."

Stranger 3 says: "Why did you get angry?"

Tank says: "I need to find somebody with a phone.."

Stranger 3 says: "Oh, sure. I have a phone."

The stranger hands Tank her phone.

Tank says: "Thank you. Oh my- this phone is very old.."

Stranger 3 says: "Yeah, sorry."

Tank looks up An's instagram and sees that the last image he posted was before Luxuria took over Nakmai.

Tank says: "Oh."

Tank looks up An's twitter. The last tweet he sent was before Luxuria took over Nakmai

Tank says: "Uh.."

Tank looks up An's facebook account. And fortunately there seems to be a pretty recent post (Not really, it's a few years old.. but still.)

Tank says: "Aha!"

Tank checks the post but...

In loving memory of An. (xx-xxx)

Tanks heart drops.

Tank says: "Wah- no. wait.."

Stranger 3 says: "What's wrong?"

Tank says: "D-Do you know somebody by the name of An? He used to be the leader of Nakmai-"

Stranger 3 says: "Oh yeah, didn't he die?"

Tank says: "Haha.. no.. you're joking?"

Stranger 3 says: "Nooooo? Why would I?"

Tank says: "How did he die..?"

Stranger 3 says: "Um, not sure. probably the Luxurian Goverment or whatever."

Tank says: "...Do you know where his grave is?"

Stranger 3 says: "No?"

Tank looks at the post again. He sees that the location of the grave was also in the post

It's in Nakmai.

Tank says: "T-Thanks. I have to go now."

Tanks hands the stranger her phone back. Tank heads back to the train station.

After the poor Russian Boy finds out about his past lovers death, he cannot help but begin to cry. Tears fall down his face as he begins to head to the train station.

He gets there and waits for the next Train to go by.

Time flies by, and a train finally arrives. Tank gets on it illegally once again. At this point he no longer cares about what happens to himself.

The train stops in Hanoi. It feels so empty since the last time Tank was here. It's almost lifeless.

The graveyard is quite far away, but it doesn't bother Tank. He finds a lone bicycle leaning on one of the buildings, and steals it.

The entire days passes as Tank goes to Phneom Phen. Once he arrives there it is the same as Hanoi. Barely anybody is there.

Luckily the Graveyard is in Phenonm Phenm. He heads for An's grave.

Tank looks at An's grave.

Tank says: "......"

"I'm sorry, An.. If only I had just done something about that.. stupid Luxuria."

"You'd still be here if I wasn't such a coward..."

"And Aksana.. I'm sorry about Aksana.. Did you ever find out about her?"

"I shouldn't have... Why am I so stupid..."

Tank falls to his knees and begins to sob.

He stays at An's graves for hours.

...

...

...

It's the middle of the night. Tank accidentally fell asleep near An's grave.

A loud noise is heard.

Tank says: "Huh..?"

"What's that..."

Tank sees a giant Tank (hmmmm) driving over the graves.

Tank says: "...Eh.. EH!?"

Tank immediately gets up.

The Tank starts driving towards him. Though, he doesn't move out of the way.

Tank says: "..."

"..."

"..."

"No.. What am I doing.. I promised Vinh I'd stay alive..."

Tank yells at the Tank to stop

The tank actually stops and a head pops out.

Soldier says: "Who the HELL are you."

Tank says: "None of your business."

Soldier says: "Ugh. Listen buddy, didn't you hear the news? We're getting rid of the graveyard."

Tank says: "Well, I won't let you."

Soldier says: "Oh yeah, sure."

"OI JOHN, WE'VE GOT A RULE BREAKER OVER HERE."

"GET THE SHOTGUN."

Tank says: "ah-"

The second soldier pops out of the tank with a shotgun and he points it at Tank.

Soldier 2 says: "Wait a minute. Isn't that the King of Yamalia?"

Soldier says: "Wha- WAIT A MINUTE.."

Tank says: "..."

Soldier says: "OOOhhhh boy! We've found a jackpot, eh?"

Tank tries to run off, but the soldier shoots him in the leg.

Tank says: "DAMMIT"

Soldier says: "Haha."

The two soldiers get out of the Tank.

Soldier says: "It was a mistake coming here, pal."

Suddenly..  the Tank begins to move on it's own?

Soldier says: "aha- wait what"

Soldier 2 says: "How is it moving???"

"I turned it off!"

The tank shoots at the two soldiers

Soldier says: "IJHQIEURHIUHUIHWEIUHIUEW GHOST TANK!"

Soldier 2 says: "RUN RUN RUN"

The two soldiers run away.

Tank says: "....wha-"

Somebody pops out of the tank.

??? says: "Well, well. Looks like we were right."

Tank says: "...Huh?"

Tank says: "Wait... That voice..."

"...."

"An?"

??? says: "wha-"

The mysterious person looks at Tank.

??? says: "How do you.. know who I am?"

Tank says: "...AN!"

Tank tries to get up, but since he got shot in the leg he can't.

Tank says: "HECK.. AN-"

An says: "What the hell are you doing here in Nakmai!?"

"Didn't I tell you to go to Yamalia?? Why are you back here???"

"Goddamit Tank.. You really can't do anything right."

Tank says: "Huh.. An?"

An says: "...Tsk. seems like I'll have to take you back to the base. Rather not risk anymore deaths on my watch."

Tank's Journey

Chapter 2

Meanwhile, back in Nakmai...

Tank says: "Wait- I have so many questions. I thought you died?"

An says: "Nows really not the time. Those soldiers might come back."

Tank says: "Oh."

An says: "Anyway get in the tank."

Tank says: "I can't, my leg-"

An says: "AGH. This is so frustrating."

An hops out of the tank and picks up Tank. (top 10 name regrets).

Tank says: "What the- Since when did you get so strong?"

An says: "Maybe you just got weaker. Considering you've just been sitting in your fancy palace all this time."

Tank says: "No- that's.. .. .. actually true"

An says: "I know."

They get in the Tank and An starts to drive it out of the graveyard :zany_face:

Tank says: "Can I ask questions now?"

An says: "I'm busy."

Tank says: "Right. Sorry."

The tank ride is very silent. Anyway blah blah blah An stops driving at a certain point and he gets out. (and also helps Tank get out)

Tank says: "..."

An says: "Follow me."

Tank says: "Okay."

An heads into a forest and Tank tries to follow him.

Tank says: "Err.. Can you slow down? My leg was kind of, y'know. shot?"

An says: "Oh! Crap. I'm so stupid."

"You've probably been bleeding all this time.. that means you must have left tracks."

Tank says: "Oh, you do have a point."

An says: "Ugh, is there anything here I could use..."

An looks around the forest. Eventually he decides to just rip a piece off of his pants. He ties it around Tanks leg.

Tank says: "Thanks..."

An says: "..."

An says: "Right, let's continue."

...

...

...

After a bit of walking, they finally arrive at the base.

Tank says: "Huh, this is-"

An says: "Yeah yeah. Let's head in."

They go into 'the base' and they are met with loads of people, crates and guns.

An says: "Heya, guess who's back!"

The people cheer.

Tank notices that An completely switched his personality once they stepped inside the base.

??? says: "Oi, Anny boi, who's that?"

An says: "Some random guy I found in the graveyard."

Tank says: "Ah-"

??? says: "Doesn't seem like he'd be a Nakmaian citizen.."

An says: "Yeah, that's what I thought too!"

Tank says: "Well, you're right. I'm not from Nakmai-"

An says: "Anyway, good news. It seems like the information about that tank was correct. There were two soldiers destroying graves in the graveyard."

??? says: "Eyyy, so did you or did you not capture their tank?"

An says: ":smirk:"

??? says: ":smirk: ohohohoohoh you did?"

An says: "Yeah! I think it'll be useful for us. I left it outside the forest."

"Anyway, I'm off to my room now. Ta- Stranger you can follow me."

Tank says: "Right."

...

...

...

They head to An's 'room' which is actually just a decaying and crusty office with vines everywhere.

There's also a broken window

Tank says: "Can I ask questions now?"

An says: "Fine. Go ahead."

Tank says: "Aren't you supposed to be dead?"

An says: "Is it that hard to understand that I faked my death?"

Tank says: "Why did you fake it?"

An says: "I faked my death so I could make a rebellion without Luxuria being suspicious of me."

Tank says: "Oh, I heard there's a lot of these resistance groups in the lands Luxuria has captured."

An says: "Yeah. Unlike the others we have been trying to stay mostly undercover."

Tank says: "So, uh, why did you make this resistance group?"

An says: "Well, because a certain somebody decided not to do anything against Luxuria, so I decided that I should just do it myself."

Tank says: "..."

An says: "Thanks for the help."

Tank says: "You've changed."

An says: "Gee, I wonder why???"

Tank says: "Listen I'm sorry- I just didn't know what I could do against Luxuria.."

An says: "There were plenty of wars where other countries were fighting Luxuria. But you never did anything during those situations. You didn't even help."

Tank says: "..."

An says: "i guess you were too busy spending time with your wife to even fight against Luxuria."

Tank says: "No- that's not true! You don't know the full situation."

An says: "Well then what the hell were you doing all this time???"

"Where were you, Tank??"

Tank says: "Listen-"

An storms out of the room

Tank says: "..."

"...You're right An.. what WAS I doing all this time...?"

...

...

...

After spending some time in the crusty ol' office, Tank leaves and decides to walk around the base.

Accidentally, Tank runs into somebody...

And it's a familiar face.

??? says: "Ah sorry buddy!"

Tank says: "Huh- wait... You seem familiar..."

??? says: "Yer chucker too. ye used ter work for de mafia?"

Tank says: "Wait. Are you Irish?"

??? says: "Yeah, 'oy ye nu? oi wus born in Oirish icelan'."

Tank says: "Varyn?"

Varyn says: "Woah, ye wan av me ex-girlfriends tryin' ter stalk me?"

Tank says: "No, a decade ago you helped me escape and An escape from the mafia.."

Varyn says: "Escape? oi jist went ter buy yer guys sum soda!"

Tank says: "Ah, your accent was always so heavy.. Anyway, what are you doing here?"

Varyn says: "Well, de Lao mafia said we were gonna collaborate wi' de Nakmaian resistance so nigh oi'm 'ere!"

Tank says: "Oh- what."

Somebody comes up behind Varyn and grabs his shoulder.

??? says: "Varyn. It seems you're talking to a familiar face."

Varyn says: "Yeah, oi went ter buy sum soda wi' 'imself a decade ago!"

??? says: "Ah, so it's the guy that was with An all those years ago."

"Did I ever get your name?"

Tank says: "Wait, wait, wait. Aren't you the leader of the Lao Mafia???"

??? says: "Yeah. It's me, Agata."

Tank says: "Wha- huh?? Why are you and An collaborating together..?"

Agata says: "What a weird question to ask. Probably because we hate the Luxurian Empire?"

Tank says: "Oh. Right."

Agata says: "Also, I should be the one asking questions. What the hell is a king of Yamalia doing here?"

Tank says: "About that. I'm not the king of Yamalia anymore. I was uh.. Kicked out."

Agata says: "Ha HA! Serves you right. That's karma for escaping all those years ago."

Tank says: "Karma? I don't think-"

Agata says: "Anyway, me and Varyn have a date to go on. See you around"

Tank says: "Wait, a date???"

Varyn says: "Yeah, we've been datin' for 10 years!"

Agata says: "Yea, bye bye!

Agata and Varyn leave ecks dee

Tank says: "Huh. who would've thought I'd have a reunion with the Lao Mafia..."

"Now, what should I do? I could go look for An, but.. I doubt he'd want to see me now.."

"Maybe, I should call Vinh?"

...

...

...

Tank goes around asking people if they have a phone, but they all tell him they don't.

Tank says: "Why does nobody have a phone here? How annoying.. I hope Vinh's doing okay."

Tank sighs, and goes into some random room with a table, and conveniently there's a phone on it.

Tank says: "Huh! Finally."

He goes to grab, until out of nowhere the door behind him shuts.

Tank says: "Huh-"

An says: "What are you doing."

In the corner of the room is An leaning on the wall

Tank says: "Ah-"

An says: "How funny. The rich king is stealing phones."

Tank says: "I'm sorry. I was-"

An walks up to Tank and snatches the phone from him.

An says: "Using a phone is not allowed when you're inside of the resistance base."

"Knowing Luxuria, they could track us."

Tank says: "I didn't know that. I'm sorry. I was just.. trying to call someone.."

An says: "Oh? Were you trying to call your wife to pick you up from Nakmai?"

Tank says: "No. I was going to call Vinh."

An says: "..."

"Vinh.. how is she?"

Tank says: "Not sure, that's why I wanted to call her."

An says: "..."

"Fine. You can call her, just not here. Let's go."

An and Tank leave the base :zany_face: :zany_face:

...

...

...

The two of them arrive in phonhonem Phenene. An takes Tank to the port.

An says: "Once the call ends, we will break the phone and throw it into the water."

Tank says: "Okay..."

Tank calls Vinh's number.

Ring...

Ring...

Ring...

Vinh says: "Hello?"

Tank says: "Vinh!"

Vinh says: "Tank! How are you?? Did you actually go to make Nakmai? You aren't hurt, are you?"

Tank says: "I'm fine. I made it to Nakmai safely. It was just.. tiring."

"What about you? Did you move to Sizzle?"

Vinh says: "I'm currently in Luvahkia. I'm still deciding on where to go exactly."

"I probably won't move to Sizzle. I'm a tad worried about what Luxuria could do, and those uh.. futurists."

Tank says: "Fair enough."

Vinh says: "Anyway, did you uh.. Find An?"

Tank says: "...Well-"

An whispers something to Tank.

Tank says: "What- no??"

An says: "Do it."

Tank says: "..Fine."

Vinh says: "Wellll?"

Tank says: "..W-Well. Turns out he's dead.."

Vinh says: "..."

"Oh.. Wow. I didn't expect that.."

Tank says: "I went to his grave."

Vinh says: "Listen, he might be dead, but remember that I'll always be here for you. Dad."

Tank says: "Hah.. Thanks Vinh."

Vinh says: "But, if he's dead, what are you going to do now? Will you come to Luvakhia?"

Tank says: "AH! UH..."

An says: "..."

Tank says: "Yeaaaahhhhh! I'll go to Luvakhia. Now I just have to figure out how to get out of Nakmai, haha."

Vinh says: "I'm currently in Medhezaliv. You should call me again when you're here."

Tank says: "Yeah. Also, I have something else to ask you."

Vinh says: "Yeah?"

Tank says: "What's the situation in Yamalia? What are Aksana and Danya doing."

Vinh says: "Danya's coronation is coming up. And Aksana is.. being Aksana :rolling_eyes:"

"She's also making herself out to be the victim. She's telling lies and saying you abused her."

Tank says: "...Sigh.. of course she would.."

Vinh says: "But hey, think about it. Danya is only 14. He'll probably make some mistake which will cause him to be dethroned."

Tank says: "Right."

Vinh says: "Anyway, I have to go. See you later!"

Tank says: "See you."

Beep, beep.

An says: "Aksana. Now that sounds awfully familiar."

Tank says: "She is my.. wife...."

An says: "Oh. Right. Now I remember. Your marriage was all over the news."

Tank says: "..."

An grabs the phone and breaks it in half. He then throws it into the water.

An says: "What was Vinh talking about. Coronation? Danya? Aksana lying?"

Tank says: "It's a long story, but."

footstep noises

An pushes Tank behind some cargo crate

An also hides behind it

Tank says: "Wha-"

An says: "Shhh."

More footstep noises.

??? says: "Year 200 is getting closer and closer every day, eh?"

??? 2 says: "Yeah.. I'm pretty worried. I'm not sure I agree with Terry Teurs stance on.. everything."

??? says: "Well, there's nothing we can really do anymore.. Sigh.."

??? 2 says: "Maybe we should get a ship to Theia."

??? says: "Yeah, but they are so expensive.."

??? 2 says: "True. What if we went to the backrooms?"

An says: "..What are they talking about."

??? says: "Yeah but I heard the backrooms are dangerous.. I'm worried that my family could get hurt in them."

??? 2 says: "Well-"

An says: "I have an idea."

...

...

...

As the two mysterious people are talking, Tank goes up to them.

??? says: "Who the hell are you??"

??? says: "Oh. You don't look Nakmaian... who are you?"

Tank says: "I'm actually from Luxuria. I just came on vacation to Nakmai!"

??? says: "Normal civilians from Luxuria aren't allowed to visit Nakmai."

Tank says: "Whhhaaaat really? That's so weird!! How did i get this place ticket to Nakmai then??"

??? says: "Nakmai doesn't have an airport."

Tank says: "...Oh"

An says: "Yeah, how could you not know that!"

??? says: "Yeah- wait-"

An from behind kicks one of the soldiers to the ground.

??? 2 says: "What the-"

Tank punches the other guy

An grabs a gun from the soldier he knocked onto the ground.

Tank grabs the gun from the other soldier

??? says: "W-Who the hell are you???"

An says: "Not important. Now, you two are going to get up, and tell us everything you know about Terry Teur."

??? 2 says: "okay..."

...

...

...

An begins to question the two soldiers.

An says: "You said something about year 200. What's so special about it, eh?"

??? says: "On the year 200 Terry Teur will finally finish his special project he's been working on.."

An says: "What's that so called special project?"

??? says: "We.. actually aren't really sure.. all the answers we have been given are always so vague."

An says: "Well. Why do you want to move away from Yata?"

ok i need to speed this up

??? says: "There's a theory going around back in Luxuria that Terry Teur plans to do something big.. and that it could affect the people of yata.. so because of that.. we'd rather not risk it.."

An says: "Hmm.. Anything else?"

??? 2 says: "yeah! uh, we know where the project is being worked on.."

"It's near the Luxurian-Argentina bridge."

An says: "This.. thing Terry is planning sounds worrying. It seems the resistance is going to have to start acting now."

Tank says: "But they said it was only a theory. What if it isn't true?"

An says: "And what if it is? We could possibly stop the Luxurian Empire from dominating the world."

??? says: "Wait, resistance?"

An says: "Oh. Looks like I'll have to kill you."

??? says: "WAIT NONBONONOBOONONONONO WAIT WAIT WAIT"

Tank says: "..Kill?"

Tank says: "I just, didn't think you'd be able to do something like that.. And I thought you didn't want more people to die-"

An says: "I don't want MY people to die. If I went around sparing every Luxurian Soldier I saw, the resistance would have been caught by now."

??? says: "WAIT PLEASE IW ON'T SAY ANYTHING-"

gun shot noises

??? 2 says: ":eyes:"

another gun shot noise

Tank says: "..."

An says: "Anyway. It seems the resistance is going to have a trip to Luxuria."
