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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2BVFmU0sl
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhP48lPNpA
"Where is JJ?" I asked.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IYw8YbviQ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbQVVSzYrv
"Dylan, you're awake!" acknowledged Bert.
“Yeah, thanks for the lift man, I can use my own legs at this point,” I said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ6LOZaR2V
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzCERY2LgZ
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,"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv77Y1fGosj
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbYS5zPqXM
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkfj2jfz5J
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKKBRRFbPm
"I’m perfectly fine now. Just needed a nap," I said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8nKrBTqkO
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRFD6vze3W
"Dylan. I can tell when you lie," said Bert.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy73p8DIWNy
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNqyhsGzQc
"It was worth a shot,” I shrugged. “Where is JJ?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0syKrkF5s
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56SLDSSAvm
"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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F7UyGDIgt
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHlmnJd1zn
"So Bert just carried me around?" I said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn6TD756eD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U9vFulg3e
"We were going to take you to the barracks where the rest of the rejected patients go," said PoopStain.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHICc1K0yW
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ggFFEVtrG
"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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl9bBOtvrW
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84W8y9mO91
"Fine," I said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXTIrxmJ0p
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSN8Kknn2z
"That was not what I was expecting you to say," said Bert giving me a weird look.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGE88tX7Z6
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6REa5momx
"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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3IWIOIwl2
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1fFRXDo4R
"Ok. Me and Bert will go defend the hospital with the others," said PoopStain.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HZptzZVal
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSyB70bYc2
"Oh yeah. JJ told me to give you this," said Bert handing me JJ’s engraved colt and a couple spare clips.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoTr9Ha3VI
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmT5nw3Jh8
"Why would he do that?" I asked.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dpFf7oAbF
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABQQYj4x44
"Neither of you will be needing it so it doesn't really make a difference. But we really need to get going," said PoopStain.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2434EE5za2
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkcDDMEKVq
"Alright get going," I said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ736y1aDqO1
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGngq9qE6e
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbglKEHQIrE
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZDkd7VWbU
I hear a nearby fire fight and I follow the sounds.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LMeQ0k9li
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgTesCpA43
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ48LokxHWp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5FjqNZdBm
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwp2qAWAtl
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4P2aHrGb5
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkieHzRB1vx
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQvIzmkxMd
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQCdmuRYG3
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr6Wpc9eiy
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrlWDjefrB
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvomEp0oXA
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigm5k1xhjV
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJtTddmxh6
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDv5WIX9nx
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskdeXSjL9q
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxDPgErFI7
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG4r7l9Vsu
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K8WyQMxq3
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchyxO4eQaH
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ezWF7dPk
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowedq76E4b
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLxsTtGRPn
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tAy1yuljP
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFqWa3m4Lq
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m6Q8MbrIY
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2I4cphRZY
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslHvvMajAe
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlyuff1o66
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW83WatDoB
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFGahhNOYs
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmuPguCnGe

*Bang*469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2VEe4l7F9
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4TTpeqLBq
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQejhIXU3B
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRh82AJ4d7
Cucumber waves me to come to him. I jog over to him and he says, "you saved American lives kid, and I thank you."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXYKBOfUnc

"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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuWegrchzA
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBtz1cORHu
"Where did they come from?" said the Captain.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZU8a83tC9
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG9DUQ9EaW
"There is a road just over there," I said pointing where I saw the Germans come from. At least where I think I remember.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptWDW4jnE7

"Corporal take your squad over there and defend it," ordered Captain Cucumber to a soldier beside him.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNB8B9s0wB
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlLGAKPL9F
"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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHVwWCecYq
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YgNftQT7F
"Fuck we don't have much to send. I'll take ten soldiers from here and go myself," said Captain Cucumber.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrs5zw0NA8
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vs0d5jaZ5
"I'll come too," I said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60CjYJBmEi

"Ready yourselves troops! Almost there!" announced the Captain.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGsgEGnilo
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1DyUOgswY
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr93vRzZWo
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnV3TLz51c
"Just around this corner!" said Cucumber.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmlVdUrqBc
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20mUpSjnam
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5AOcwDa6n
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthQWGMhozQ
"Captain are you hit?" asked a Marine.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgsbWXUDUn
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0u0gYZn0q
The Captain stares blankly into space without answering. His eyes go watery and he starts to cry.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4q1EM3r69
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8BHQsRkbN
"Captain. We have to keep fighting. We can't let those soldiers die in vain," I said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt0Ag7DzdM

Cucumber picks himself up and wipes the tears from his face.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNReFIk1t3E
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUv02iVFpn
"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!!!

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm7Ucvz0XC
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG9mC586OI
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Toe6sPHO
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2eBDw5U68
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEwL7sXMSD
Suddenly I hear chanting behind me. I turn around and see a massive army of marines running to us.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRyAYtFJef
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNLUC47fDt
"It's the Colonel! Support the Captain from here and let the others catch up!" said a soldier beside me.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhsDbSgHsk

"NOOO!" Yelled the Colonel as Cucumber drops to his knees.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqiU8E3yoD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4kjjL1XOr
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT3ahMgC0p
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGBgt6Cgzv

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZrnQu7cic
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bMu2cm9Tp

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaskeqPJGwk
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GXjSu94Qr
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFBDiRYdhx
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPV7HRwt7D
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GzinBHcst
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡythus7bJaA

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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ATOfBeVi

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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4UUN14yDO

Agent comes over to us over hearing PoopStain and asked, "was the Colonel a Seal too?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2PW9y19ND
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oZ3ITyc4E
"No, but we did fight together in the last war," said PoopStain.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpbfNTC17g
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A8YzsvHVp
"Who is he?" asked Agent.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoUal7ROYc

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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOUG4phbfy
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftNZDFqGj3
"What's troubling you?" said Alfeo somehow knowing something is wrong.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl5uHXiHAj

"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJjhdN79ss

"Why is it that nobody's like me live, while heroes like Cucumber die," I said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJO2QjMRf9

"Nobody's?" said what sounded like Bert.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tQnTy0wyx
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyymhzsOavn
I see Bert followed by Destroyer and Andrew on both sides of JJ helping him keep the weight off his legs. As well as Ashton, Sean, Connor, Hunter, Kyle, Reznikov, the General, the other hooded brothers, Julius and Wetherby.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmhyVv4yen

"Well that's what I am," I said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxtj5mS5JI

"All of us kids are. We aren't like you ex Seals. We are just nobody's," said Destroyer.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjYAzeCUux

"Then who are we?" I asked.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0q11eOMf5
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfplN0zTXfZ
There is a long pause and we wait patiently for Bert to answer.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt7X2A9qPs
