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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUkAJCDZ3P
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBSGdnaoth
"Where is JJ?" I asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmli5gd0ZX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Scu80FVd
"Dylan, you're awake!" acknowledged Bert.
“Yeah, thanks for the lift man, I can use my own legs at this point,” I said.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEce8Z2unj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaRqyP1jo7
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,"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQWVCPjCn5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdsm8d9cfd
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU8AqI3G9F
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuXV0V5B4D
"I’m perfectly fine now. Just needed a nap," I said.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi58t7x4aa4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtVDQaf1PF
"Dylan. I can tell when you lie," said Bert.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0LKsWTvtm
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF6ZaTH0tD
"It was worth a shot,” I shrugged. “Where is JJ?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCkbqcXOPH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmpXAY6JAB
"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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5nIte7rDm
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStFMyt71H0
"So Bert just carried me around?" I said.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKARVOVwQE
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh4auY0Asw
"We were going to take you to the barracks where the rest of the rejected patients go," said PoopStain.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWP2sWAYiB
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOtI8784Bl
"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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjLdaYzKqO
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hf7cBjkoy
"Fine," I said.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJLjeGaidc
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzi3FD2e7y
"That was not what I was expecting you to say," said Bert giving me a weird look.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJIy4iOI8l
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZVOHiqy7b
"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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAizMmV0aY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp1E1qZHFK
"Ok. Me and Bert will go defend the hospital with the others," said PoopStain.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtYNjhvWX6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY9gaUoX72
"Oh yeah. JJ told me to give you this," said Bert handing me JJ’s engraved colt and a couple spare clips.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52RanR3d4p
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn258lB1dM
"Why would he do that?" I asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9ykQ5VK9S
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuGBYg3wl8
"Neither of you will be needing it so it doesn't really make a difference. But we really need to get going," said PoopStain.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAkKFSLBDe
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEEIMLsQ6J
"Alright get going," I said.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1sEn5MFIg
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eHGahVN1T
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkh3ukBcrp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6VwSv4qDo
I hear a nearby fire fight and I follow the sounds.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazjah3RFzp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ODRoqOUi
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qh4b30qDX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWfHuGoIpf
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbDBeV6Ubz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7RNP36b95
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ElqB5WUyc
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcWw5dAdey
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLB1Es15yu
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnnWPgGL7v
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDTObDNuDG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8aHRm3Q5B
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuExTHBV4tM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelcSQ0pQi8
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e2rRYXAuM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7RVdLspka
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34TIayhBk4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n3yvyhLcZ
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOHtEwBtRI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6TqLQ69UK
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.
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wsg1mn2Ob
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmjYiDdirk
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbO3aO343T
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UNSz2b7bD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyVFJrCPlO
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycKDJZqKDK
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC1tGsfqxe
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX3VIUARcn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9jsQDGrNw
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKjFvcKmP5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20BnPIUtwJ
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRPxd6BVzo

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtUL67ubP3
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYCM5ltTZM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYN7MZvX9O
Cucumber waves me to come to him. I jog over to him and he says, "you saved American lives kid, and I thank you."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuAzYgslSv

"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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9xbt7Pyq7
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDKyL6xlxp
"Where did they come from?" said the Captain.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQD2p9tOip
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM40rCVoyt
"There is a road just over there," I said pointing where I saw the Germans come from. At least where I think I remember.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzzB10qBQG

"Corporal take your squad over there and defend it," ordered Captain Cucumber to a soldier beside him.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb1PH0josI

"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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfhYsKkNIV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51EhzBaJsl
"Fuck we don't have much to send. I'll take ten soldiers from here and go myself," said Captain Cucumber.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI8S7FPfSn

"Ready yourselves troops! Almost there!" announced the Captain.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKKDEd2Fcw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J80vJdYjc
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjmUVSzTHv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYZZW6J8jZ
"Just around this corner!" said Cucumber.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQHDglVlHN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4YhArrPtt
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPn51dEAgI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ360QQLjk0t
"Captain are you hit?" asked a Marine.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn0ZvZqNZI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TCUXkHOAT

"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!!!

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZbp5IlWuj
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNnDFk9Qsy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIapknhyfGZ
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdDbiFguLN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx32yoF5GXJ
Suddenly I hear chanting behind me. I turn around and see a massive army of marines running to us.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRDWquyha8

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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqpDqVFPKF

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXuztTTrlJ
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Z2gZCvv6

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vs2XlScot
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcphaK5m6Vi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlog8fviJIP
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvS6KOFmVt
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYdiLAvU1T
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHFAifyxib

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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb3rvkBJVM

Agent comes over to us over hearing PoopStain and asked, "was the Colonel a Seal too?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPD0p6SE9j

"No, but we did fight together in the last war," said PoopStain.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA9KTUo7e2

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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdUmWQuRfq

"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE8cE4HJJy
