I open my eyes and find myself on Bert’s back. Thank god it was just a dream. I think deeper into it and realize that the dream wasn't as farfetched as I originally thought. It is possible that the guys are pretending to be my friend, since they have no choice but to be with me. It would be smart to act like your buddies with a guy you don't like. Beats having it out for each other when you’re stuck being with them. Perhaps I should have had done that with Agent… nah, it's too fun to piss him off.
I look around to figure out what the situation is. I see PoopStain running with Bert and no one else. I realize that all the guys aren't here, but the one i'm most worried about is JJ. I need to see if my dream was true and if his legs are totaled. Guilt and pain fills my heart as the image of JJ in my dream comes to mind. His legs fucked beyond repair, his eyes filled of resentment, his entire face showing a deep depression. I hope my dream remains just a dream. I hope JJ is ok.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcMvpeP1vs
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyL0lrrDO1
"Where is JJ?" I asked.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNsE9LTAaH
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5q10O5g0U
"Dylan, you're awake!" acknowledged Bert.
“Yeah, thanks for the lift man, I can use my own legs at this point,” I said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgNR2HEpdh
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgy8Dz0vQP
Bert slows his pace and stops to set me down, everyone else stopped with us. sets me on the ground and says, "are you sure you can walk? You were out for quite a while,"444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnC8X8H0sD
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd4oQRl7dN
I get off the ground and put pressure on my wounded leg. I hide the shooting pain as much as I could. I can't remember the last time I didn't feel pain, so I must be pretty good at it by now.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNB324oPTU
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFB8yxC4s7
"I’m perfectly fine now. Just needed a nap," I said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEPz9B7lQk
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozoXwIll0H
"Dylan. I can tell when you lie," said Bert.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlWKZ4kJFP
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtxvrqIKtM
"It was worth a shot,” I shrugged. “Where is JJ?"444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffc6fWwiUR
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE2Lcvl2aW
"He's at the hospital. We wanted to leave you there, but they patched you up and said they wanted to save the room for more serious patients," said PoopStain.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLXAGZqwy2
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1CjGzAndH
"So Bert just carried me around?" I said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYDmHJnSvG
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqYWs1t9UF
"We were going to take you to the barracks where the rest of the rejected patients go," said PoopStain.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fJe0Y9VDS
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhoKNFRDuZ
"I'm good to fight. Just need a gun," I said.
"You can't fight Dylan. Just go to the barracks and rest up," said Bert.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF081Rllcl
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwl6aLaRUV
"Fine," I said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu8HHXaClB
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRcOMiePup
"That was not what I was expecting you to say," said Bert giving me a weird look.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4B2WKWWKM
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4z4NCA9uX
"I don't want to be a burden on you guys. I don't need anyone to lookout for me. I'll find the barracks on my own," I said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7jKeTi8TO
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl34iGf3EE
"Ok. Me and Bert will go defend the hospital with the others," said PoopStain.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OT3OEGTsx
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3vmIjDBcr
"Oh yeah. JJ told me to give you this," said Bert handing me JJ’s engraved colt and a couple spare clips.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLffKtgjVhC
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH8wAPU0Bf
"Why would he do that?" I asked.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX16yYmFpX
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcKB8A0dYm
"Neither of you will be needing it so it doesn't really make a difference. But we really need to get going," said PoopStain.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46PzIydPLE
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZSx3sHagI
"Alright get going," I said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg6RrRLzLs
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lhJmdIJ5A
Bert and PoopStain run back the way we came. I make my way to the front line after Bert and PoopStain aren't in sight. It was never my intention to go back to the barracks and I wonder how Bert didn't catch on to that. Bert is not an easy person to lie to.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHvBDNKaLM
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHtk0xsIjn
I hear a nearby fire fight and I follow the sounds.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VWJ6rr65k
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUIPsXLjZr
I come across Captain Cucumber and a large group of Marines defending a large road. They are gunning down Germans without a sweat. This position seems to be fine, so I’ll find another.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c2n3xycVH
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FQODDwyIU
Before I move on I hear German voices from behind me. They must be planning an attack from behind. I cock JJ’s colt and go searching for them.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh8b2QY5sc
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkglpY2pVQa
It sounded like the voices where just behind the building that is behind me. I slowly peak around the corner and see no Germans. I slowly move to the next corner with the colt ready. I get to the corner and hesitate to peak.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNahcwsk1du
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndb2zJtJKN
I hear the voices again and I'm very sure it came from just around this corner. I turn the corner and see a squad of Germans with their backs against the wall. I quickly start shooting at them and they ran into the building.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdBr9GfY0P
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnTdC9s2e8
I only killed two of the six before they made it inside. I reload a new clip into the colt and slowly creep to the door. I wave the tip of the colt past the door and bullets start raining around me. I lunge back being glad I didn't peak my head instead of the colt.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROyq9y2cqO
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxpilImTsf
I’m not going to try the door again because they are waiting for me. But I don't have the patients to out wait them. I search a dead German and find something that looks like an oil candle but also sorta’ looks like a grenade.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ438bR8dhRq
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6WNoxnGCW
I look at the bottom of the candle and see some writing that I don’t understand. I inspect it more and notice a pin by the wick. I look at it some more and confirm that it's not a candle, it's an explosive device. It's not likely to be a grenade with how bulky and awkward it would be to throw. I’m guessing its some sort of mine which gave me an idea.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSCJEGmczZ
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXcaXLrLBV
I place the mine in the armpit of the dead soldier and pushed him right beside the door. I very carefully pulled the pin and backed away from it.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudGLmHlxZS
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeUOu2FrCG
I circle the building to see what's behind it. As I get behind it I see a shed with a window of the building just above the sheds roof. I'll see if I can find a way to climb it.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXORLD5s2k
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9kFbD5zAa
I have to go the long way around the building instead of crossing the door that I would surely get ripped apart if I tried. Or blown up.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsjOpURuDL
I walk around the building and see a dumpster up against the shed. I climb onto the dumpster then climb onto the roof of the shed. I slowly peak into the window of the second floor and see one German standing at the stairs aiming down. He isn't paying attention to me.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECW5kzflhM
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxAMWJsIaW
I aim my colt at the German and shoot two times hitting the German both times. I quickly kick what’s left of the window, shattering it bits. I run to the stairs and the Germans run outside the door.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYPO1bdJWL
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC092Rs7ha
The thing I left on the body shoots up three feet in the air and explodes killing two Germans. The last German runs towards the Marines and I chase after him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlccZtZAIjK
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWgCBKi6Qh
He is very fast, even I can't catch up to him. It doesn't help that my wounded leg is hindering my speed significantly. I try shooting a couple times at him, but I missed. I need to stop to get a good shot, but I don't think I can hit him at this distance anyways. I’m wondering why he isn't shooting back at me.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsbySv7RWU
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGIQwTWkzF
I follow the German only to notice that he is charging the Marines from behind. The Marines are in sight and the German is running straight for Captain Cucumber.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2tx42DiTY
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV50L3gDnP
I attempt to yell but I'm out of breath, so it wasn't very loud. My only chance is to shoot him. I stop and look down the sights of the colt. I hesitate to pull the trigger because if I miss I may hit Captain Cucumber or another Marine. Here goes nothing.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQnYKbIPja

*Bang*444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPBhcNgGWe
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnmKoxAJ32
I hit the German in the back and he falls to the ground. Cucumber and a few marines turn around, likely because they heard my shot.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuokjT2nzy8
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BeeBvZlP3
Cucumber waves me to come to him. I jog over to him and he says, "you saved American lives kid, and I thank you."444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlgW4Uk8i8
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynNxWo0r0m
"Welcome, but there was a squad of six Germans that were coming from the rear. I handled them, but the Germans will certainly try sending more through there," I said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprp6v4BOXw
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEltgYuoF1
"Where did they come from?" said the Captain.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehd1ZcTgM4
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkVQHsa094
"There is a road just over there," I said pointing where I saw the Germans come from. At least where I think I remember.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhfTMeCtPt

"Corporal take your squad over there and defend it," ordered Captain Cucumber to a soldier beside him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAZU0v6PMF
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabld6RwsPf
"Sir the Northern flank is falling and they request reinforcements," said a Marine with a radio in his hand. I thought about the ones we just wore on our ear and wonder why he has that bulky backpack which is the radio itself still. Then again, we were testing the prototype.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK84QoJ0qkv
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBLaFNdNBE
"Fuck we don't have much to send. I'll take ten soldiers from here and go myself," said Captain Cucumber.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBs10cFCmZ
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowdgrwz7y1
"I'll come too," I said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYGcPt5OPY

I tuck JJ’s colt in my belt and follow Captain Cucumber.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULwDlLhXuz
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQuJeYDHWb

444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqYe8e8sk1
"Ready yourselves troops! Almost there!" announced the Captain.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sggmS5Ztn
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQFtJbH5NW
I see a road up ahead that turns right, and I think that’s our destination. There are buildings in the way, so we can’t see the Marines yet.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ91VIrnZFn
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbagi9zQhQe
"Just around this corner!" said Cucumber.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW41DK1Mer
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC1UpS2HFT
Captain Cucumber turns the corner and pauses, he drops to his knees with the look of Hell in his eyes. I turn the corner and see sixty to seventy Marine bodies flooding the ground. Not much ahead of the bodies are German soldiers, walking towards us. They start to shoot at us and I grab Captain Cucumber and drag him back behind the corner.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYCvUr2Dbh
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09K7eBXhUg
"Captain are you hit?" asked a Marine.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgFGIfvDu1
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5493baCXe
The Captain stares blankly into space without answering. His eyes go watery and he starts to cry.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ujVnBjSJ
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YkZtJ6b9s
"Captain. We have to keep fighting. We can't let those soldiers die in vain," I said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlweQQGZVe
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiOci4K5hB
Cucumber picks himself up and wipes the tears from his face.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxEJ0528NA
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzSjGzu25H
"So many precious American lives taken away by heathens. Those soldiers each fought and died for our great country," Cucumber takes a cross from around his neck and holds it in his hand and looks up to the sky saying. "As god as my witness, I will give each of those soldiers a funeral fit for a hero. I will personally tell each of their family's how proud they should be for their lost loved ones. I will make sure they are remembered throughout history. But only the winners get to remember history. For our lost comrades! For our family's!! For our homes!!! FOR AMERICA!!!!"444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZbPEFK7qH

Captain Cucumber and his Marines charge around the corner shooting at the Germans. I join the charge despite knowing that it wasn't the smart thing to do.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbhQS3H1jp
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQgb8QvPp4
The Germans start falling back. Their numbers get smaller as we get closer. We only lost a few Marines so far and we are almost to the dead Marine field.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8E1NrB6lD
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuTeobCcep
Cucumber runs ahead of all of us and point-blank sprays down ten Germans with his Thompson. A German goes to melee him and Cucumber pulls out a pistol and kills the German. Cucumber kills another ten Germans single handedly.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gpkPLYFHJ
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm44OqGsrlc
Suddenly I hear chanting behind me. I turn around and see a massive army of marines running to us.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKjGcQzUXK
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzct25bl5m
"It's the Colonel! Support the Captain from here and let the others catch up!" said a soldier beside me.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGpgfIXrBQ
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVK0bsPCGi
We stop trying to catch up to the Captain and support him from here. The massive Marine force is almost to us.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zxWhPwjC3

Suddenly two sword blades reveal themselves out of his chest, his eyes widen. Behind him are two of those tattooed samurai with their swords pierced in his chest.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySiBRUnDsO

"NOOO!" Yelled the Colonel as Cucumber drops to his knees.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHotEtmIpuW
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu3gDxZkAu
Captain Cucumber smiles and quickly gets to his feet and turns around with the swords still in him. He grabs the two samurai and pulls them into their own blades. He then pushed them away and pulls the blades from his back.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGSoN3nhTQ
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0pWfB4KGA
The Colonel sprints as fast as he can towards Cucumber. Cucumber tries to walk over to us but is stopped by a couple bullets filling his body. And he falls backwards to the ground.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yKhg3vbmE

Cucumber lets out his final breath as he passes to another world. Tears from the Colonel fall on Cucumbers face.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b7uoxJw2T

"Cucumber," said the Colonel shaking Cucumber.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxobjLQH5p

444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35qQaCYv2W
The Colonel grabs Cucumbers Thompson with his left hand while he holds his own in his right. His eyes are blood red and his head starts shaking. His tears of sorrow turned to tears of hatred.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0cNho8zww

"They will pay for this. They will fucking pay!" warned the Colonel followed by a terrifying evil war cry.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M91gh1bsm
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2GMqfapBM
The Colonel stands up and charges at the Germans spraying with both Thompsons. Me and the Marines try to follow him, but we are too exposed to be so aggressive. The Colonel guns his way into the middle of the enemy's force. It's unbelievable that he hasn't been killed yet.
The Colonel sprayed down around thirty soldiers himself. A few Marines try to join the Colonel only to get gunned down by German fire. I start to realize that the hostiles aren't just Germans. There are Japanese soldiers as well. The hostiles start to close in on the Colonel and its apparent that they want him alive.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc2HAPaHUn
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNc8HFlPKP
A Jap with a bayonet charges the Colonel from behind and the Colonel turns around and uses his left Thompson to block the bayonet while he uses the right Thompson to shoot two Germans who were on the other side of him. He then kicks the Jap down and unloads both Thompson’s into him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fn89K4al6
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGmoNaoQE8
The Colonel's Thompsons run out of ammo and more hostiles close in on him. Me and several Marines try to get to the Colonel, but the hostiles are making sure we don't interfere by gunning down anyone exposed.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs3x9hjQzq

444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjXnmCcEHj
The hostiles go into a full retreat and I realize the soldiers that came to help us where familiar. They are people from my school back at home I believe.

I walk over to Captain Cucumbers body and have a moment of silence. I want to feel sad but a part of me tells me this is what he wanted. All his follower’s all lay behind him in a way that seems staged. He was their company leader and it only makes sense to be in the front center. The smile on his lifeless face tells the whole story.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjGWK789IQ
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7nGKM5bQv
I kneel beside him and shut his eyes. I notice something in his right hand. I open his fist and see his cross tangled with 2 red strings that he got from the tattooed guys. I take them from his hand.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBLhhKKrFn

"No, but we did fight together in the last war," said PoopStain.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArx8a0bJ85

I go back over to Cucumber and stare at his body. I feel like I could have saved him. Anger and guilt fills my mind and I wish it was me there instead of him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrywPlBeDKe

"What's troubling you?" said Alfeo somehow knowing something is wrong.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA3ApzpIcG

"I never got to repay him for what he did for me. And there is no way I can now," I said.
“Just because he's no longer with us it doesn't mean you can't repay him,” said Alfeo. “I know that is not the only thing on your mind though, now what else is bothering you."444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTCYp8VtSQ

"Why is it that nobody's like me live, while heroes like Cucumber die," I said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0qkiPjb3H

"Nobody's?" said what sounded like Bert.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4BQPkV8X6
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAcjneEAwN

"Then who are we?" I asked.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ecsdFGVN
