Embark on an exciting journey with Akatsuki and Haru through the world of technological wonders and the remnants of a devastating war, against the backdrop of futuristic cities, Berlin and Neo Baghdad. In search of solutions to their personal dilemmas and unraveling their family secrets, the brother and sister find themselves caught up in a complex network of events that leads them to a secret underground facility. Having revealed the truth about the mysterious Alfajir Aljaded (New Dawn) project, they discovered an unexpected goal of the Axis countries' technological achievements. This story gently combines artistic geopolitical aspects with futuristic technology and explores the strong emotions of family ties, mixing uncertainty, family ties and a touch of science fiction. The narrative immerses the reader in the atmosphere of the consequences of post-war decisions and the relentless pursuit of retribution in the face of unforeseen changes.

While visiting Berlin, I was inspired to write this story, combining aspects of the Far East, Europe and the Middle East. This artistic work is dedicated simply to the memory of innocent lives lost in the Holy Lands, with the hope of a stronger peace and stability in this region.

Hof, Germany
14/11/2023

In dim lighting and to the accompaniment of electronic rhythms of ambient music, Haru and Akatsuki maneuvered through the crowd that filled the gathering place. The air was heavy with the smell of leather jackets and boots; Akatsuki was worried about the uncertainty of what was going to happen that evening.

Akatsuki: “I doubt about tonight.”
Haru: “We've been training for years for this moment, Akatsuki.”
Akatsuki: “What about Dad? Central Intelligence just yesterday arrested a group of scientists in Neo Baghdad. How come you're not worried?”
Haru: “This is not the first time the father has been at the facility, and you know that hormonal activity cannot be detected from underground. Besides, we can't miss the fireworks in Berlin tonight. Let's get some fresh air.”

Haru gently patted her shoulder, and a faint glimmer of hope flashed in Akatsuki's eyes again. They walked across the pulsating dance floor, finally reaching a massive gate with an electronic lock screen. A holographic swastika logo loomed above him, causing Akatsuki to have a mixed feeling of anger and pessimism.

Haru whispered in her ear: “Don't worry, Akatsuki. Everything will end and a new sun will shine on us.”

Akatsuki nodded, feeling a sense of fragile hope, ran her thumb over the touchscreen of the lock, and her name and the details for entering the DNA code were displayed on it.

“Hormonal activity: “There is no threat.” Based on Tamashii Technologies,” it was written under the screen. The gates slowly swung open, and the brother and sister walked out onto the streets of Berlin.

The city was permeated with lively joy, people laughed, celebrated and sang, dancing in the streets. Akatsuki looked at the watch on her wrist: they showed 23:40, there were only a few minutes left until the 22nd Century.

A great speech was planned to announce the arrival of the new century, the Fuhrer was to deliver it, and the Emperor of Japan was to speak after him. They arrived at the Brandenburg Gate a few minutes before the countdown. Akatsuki's brother, Haru, pulled out a purple pill from his pocket, causing Akatsuki to immediately grab his arm in fear.

“It's still early, Haru!” she insisted.

“For the death of our mother,” he said.

She repeated, “Not now,” and pointed at the Nazi officers in holographic scanning glasses - because Tamashii reads the biometric information of citizens with every heartbeat.

When the clock showed almost midnight, the crowd began to count in German, zehn, neun, Acht… With each digit, Akatsuki's heart beats in fear, she is worried about the uncertainty of what will happen tonight.

When the countdown reached zero, the sky over Berlin exploded with spectacular fireworks. Drones from the light show built figures similar to two zeros, symbolizing the year 2100.

Akatsuki looks at the pink Fireworks over the Brandenburg Gate and closes his eyes full of tears, recalling vivid images from his childhood spent with his mother.

She remembers when she was a child and lying under the sakura rose trees in Kyoto in her mother's arms, how she felt the warmth of her mother's breath on her forehead, how her mother's fingers gently combed her hair.

The mother points to the tree and asks her to imagine that there are apples between the pink flowers, Akatsuki laughs and replies that if apples grew on sakura trees, they would be pink, the mother smiles and continues to tell her the story of Sir Isaac Newton's apple tree.

Her memory was suddenly interrupted by the Fuhrer's speech. He stood in front of the Gate, addressing the townspeople.

“Citizens of the German Federation of Europe,
We will start the century by reuniting. We will start this century with the dream of uniting Europe under the German flag, which has become a reality and has become our present and dream again...
He began, and his voice faded away. Akatsuki's thoughts drifted to another moment in the past, to his mother's stories about scientific achievements.

Akatsuki tries to grasp the essence of the concept of gravity, which her mother explains to her, and they immerse themselves in a conversation about how, in 2040, scientists with the help of Tamashiya managed to create anti-gravity technology. The Maglev, which runs between Tokyo and Nagoya, no longer needs rails. Akatsuki admires this discovery, and her mother proudly tells her that she was also involved in this project.

Once again, Akatsuki's memories were interrupted, this time by the speech of the Emperor of Japan.
“Since our victory in the war, many years after our loss, we have learned patience, thousands of souls have been killed by the explosion of an atomic bomb. However, we spend years developing, learning from our mistakes, and improving technologically.
As we gave life to Tamashiya, so she gave life back to us.
Love, Hate, Anger, Kindness are all responses to hormonal activity in the Human Body,

Tamashii can read and detect them all, any biological activity in the body is recognized and translated into a digital code inside Tamashii, it registers Hormonal Behavioral Activity, and through this process we were able to identify soldiers, those who are afraid, and those who are brave, to detect the movements of the enemy on the battlefield, however, our The enemy was brave and fierce, so we gave him a sip of his own poison.”

Akatsuki's breathing becomes heavy
The emperor continued to inspire the crowd:
“to avenge the fallen”,
Her heart is beating in anger, and her cheeks are flushed scarlet.
His words cut the air darkly:
“To avenge the fallen in Hiroshima and Nagasaki 155 years ago”

A Nazi soldier noticed her unusual hormonal activity, and Tamashiya's voice came from his glasses: “A threat has been detected, stay in place for possible intervention in the fight against crime.”

Haru saw how upset Akatsuki was and gently pulled her head to his chest while covering her ears to calm her down.

“The Threat Has been Neutralized,” Tamashii reported.

Hugging Haru's chest, Akatsuki felt calmer, and returned to her memories.

Akatsuki interrupted her Mother's Contemplative mood
“Mommy, just like an apple, if birds sit on a tree, their feathers will also turn pink!”
Her mom laughs, reaches for her wristwatch and asks Tamashii to embody what she said, a flash of a holographic ray bursts out of the wristwatch in the direction of the tree and prints a holographic augmented reality image of pink apples and birds on Sakura in Augmented reality.

This was the last time she saw her mother before the explosion, shortly before World War III began, not all Axis scientists agreed to create an Atomic bomb, her mother was among them, so she convinced her husband to flee to Washington, the Japanese government suspected them of Betrayal, so before escaping to they took the children from enemy territory and transported them to Berlin so that they would not be found, while one of the Axis countries was developing a bomb in Tokyo, the Allies were working on a similar project in Neo Baghdad, her father moved to Iraq to help with the project, However, her mother's sense of morality did not change, and she remained on American soil.

But this time, the Axis countries “learned from their mistakes” and completed the creation of the bomb before their enemies,
Tamashiya's mathematical model Predicted that this was the only way to end the war, all Tamashiya's calculations were reduced to losing the war if not dropping the bomb.

But Tamashii understands complex mathematics, not morality.

This time it wasn't Hiroshima or Nagasaki. It was Moscow and Washington,

No one survived.

Akatsuki turned to her brother and said, “Haru, now, I can't take it anymore.”

There were only two ways to hide from Tamashiya's detector, one of them was to get underground so that it was impossible to detect the heat of chemical reactions in the human body, or you could take a purple invisibility pill, this drug disrupts hormonal activity in the human body in such a way that prevents Tamashiya from reading information.

Haru takes a purple pill out of his pocket. He swallows it and begins to make his way through the cheering crowd to the fireworks cannons.
The Emperor continues
“She protects us from the dark side of humanity, she protects us when we sleep, she can read everything in our thoughts and hearts.

we avenged the fallen, we fought side by side with Tamashii from the moment of her birth, she captured those who intended to commit crimes by calculating their hormonal levels, she was able to read their feelings of planning and revenge, but Tamashii not only displays hormonal activity that determines the intentions of a human being, she displays an age estimate, weaknesses, soreness, the likelihood of survival and saving lives from Deadly Diseases.
In this way, we were able to create a utopia where there is no crime, which flourishes in health under the leadership of the Axis powers.”

Akatsuki commands into the microphone: “Now!”Haru successfully infiltrates the cannon systems and transfers them to the Emperor. Some vigilant Nazi soldier spots the movement and quickly neutralizes Haru just before the shot is fired. The soldiers of the secret resistance do not stay away from what is happening – they take out their weapons and engage in a fierce firefight with Nazi guards.

Haru is now lying on the ground with severe wounds and shouting, “GO AHEAD! Akatsuki hesitates, torn between wanting to stay with her brother and the need to complete the mission. Haru strongly insists that Akatsuki be saved and asks her to go to Baghdad to save him and bring back their mother. Overwhelmed with feelings, Akatsuki expresses his anxiety, trying to clarify what he is up to. There is confusion when she asks how he wants her to return her mother when she did not survive the explosion.

In all this chaos, the order of the Resistance Headquarters to evacuate immediately sounds. Akatsuki, in tears and with a weapon in his hands, quickly runs to the helicopter evacuation site, shooting back and wiping tears with his free hand. After boarding the aircraft, she sees her brother bleeding in the distance. Haru steadfastly reassures her: “Don't worry, a new dawn will come and we will start all over again.”

A few hours later, Akatsuki arrives in Neo Baghdad, where the sprawling cityscape proudly displayed flying cars, towering skyscraper towers, holographic advertising, vast water oases reflecting the sparkling golden sand of the desert, and oriental buildings could be seen in the shiny coating of mosques.

The resistance gave her instructions to go to a cafe near the grand mosque. As she made her way through the narrow streets of the city, she was struck by the stark contrast between modern technology and the preservation of simpler traditions.

When she entered the cafe, she saw a man with a striking appearance – bald, with thick black eyebrows and a mustache. A man was sitting in a corner playing dice and smoking a hookah. He glanced at her conspicuous black leather jacket and Berlin-style high boots, at the chains on her wrist, and recognized the Japanese engraving on the pistol. At that moment, he realized that it was his daughter. She greeted him, “Salaam,” he invited her to sit next to him, and they sat looking at the view of the skyscrapers from the large window.

He inhales the smoke, exhales it.

She speaks to him cautiously.

“For a man who lost his son a few hours ago, you look calm.”

He continues to smoke

“In the end, I still can't forgive you for abandoning your mother. Even more surprisingly, Haru claims that she is still alive and that we can bring her back! What would that mean?”

He freezes for a moment

Do you remember the story from the Koran that I told you as a child?

Trying not to cry, she nods in agreement.

- Moses said to Khidr, “May I follow you so that you can teach me some of the knowledge (guidance and the true path) that God (Allah) has taught you?

He (Khidr) said, “Indeed! You can't stand me! And how can you have patience with what you don't know?”

Moses said, “If Allah wills, you will consider me patient, and I will not disobey you in anything.”

So, my precious daughter, I ask you to have faith and patience.

He gets up and walks over to the window, peering out at the skyscrapers.

“what we once considered a curse turned into a blessing. It was a wise divine plan from the very beginning.”

She leans forward, trying to understand his words.

“Oil”

Neo Baghdad emerged as one of the richest cities of the post-war period due to the successful development of the Axis countries in the field of nuclear fusion energy. Nevertheless, this technological achievement remains the exclusive right of the winning countries. The Allies, faced with continued dependence on traditional energy sources, primarily oil, found themselves in a vulnerable position. After the oil crisis in 2050, Baghdad became the only supplier of oil to the Allies.

She slowly raised her head: “What is good for one is bad for the other.”

“You're still a smart kid.”

He notices an armada of aircraft far away on the horizon, rapidly approaching the skyscraper, and hurries her: “They are looking for you, quickly, let's go!”They are running fast through the narrow streets of the old city, to the big central mosque. “Hurry up, get out of here!” He opens the ventilation duct cover and leads them inside. “Tamashii won't be able to spot us here,” he reassures.

They make their way through ventilation tunnels to the echoes of the sounds of soldiers chasing them. When they run up to the exit, the man kicks out the latch with a strong kick and leads them into a spacious underground room full of scientists in white coats and guarded by military personnel.

She straightens up, slowly turns to the inscription on the wall in Arabic and reads: “Project Alfajir Aljaded" (Project New Dawn).

“So, is this where the bomb is being made?”What is it?" she asks. When she approaches the main room of the reactor, the guards try to stop her, but the man signals them to let her inside. Looking into the room, she discovers a high-voltage network connected to the reactor core located on a platform with an operating lever. Her eyes widen in surprise.

“It's not a bomb,” she opens her eyes in surprise.

 He's smiling. “No, it's a time machine.

“So that's why the Allies lost the war; they needed more time to build a car, they thought that was the only way they could protect the Axis countries. To start over and stop them from creating Tamashii.”
    
Stephen Hawking has always dreamed of this day.

The day when we combine general relativity and quantum mechanics into a unified Theory of Everything,
we achieved everything he wanted, and this became the main operating equation of the New Dawn.

Your mother and I dedicated our lives to making that dream come true, and now it's become the only way to get her back and start over.

That's why we named you Akatsuki.”

“Dawn”

Suddenly, a powerful explosion shakes the doors of the room and the Axis special forces rush in, turning the once secret location into a chaotic battlefield. He pulls out a bullet and shouts, “Turn it on now!”

Without hesitation, she runs into the control room and quickly pulls the lever. The active zone begins to emit blue Cherenkov radiation. A calm smile appears on her face as she looks at the rays of radiation, recalling the incarnation of the Sakura tree from holographic rays.

However, a threatening announcement spoils the moment. “Critical energy level, system failure, overheated iron rod. Evacuate everyone from the room immediately!” Despite the terrible situation, she does not hold back a tear of joy and calmness:

“Mom, I'm coming.”
