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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGUu7KC6B2
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCr4j6USUB
"Where is JJ?" I asked.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t7XIVly20
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokqrnCdSqb
"Dylan, you're awake!" acknowledged Bert.
“Yeah, thanks for the lift man, I can use my own legs at this point,” I said.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyjOIqkxIc
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXGDd3xmev
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,"487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG1XqrVa3N
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi6XyVBf7f
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtABWzckWb9
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWrqVVDdh4
"I’m perfectly fine now. Just needed a nap," I said.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqYKlLskAl
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUYa7PDhTb
"Dylan. I can tell when you lie," said Bert.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzeI03SJTL
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CAu9tnqfn
"It was worth a shot,” I shrugged. “Where is JJ?"487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMeJ7p7gT2
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RqwrImr2w
"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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWpC3M05ap
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡripwY64Gtr
"So Bert just carried me around?" I said.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAgTXhvXTW
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kXpzHBP17
"We were going to take you to the barracks where the rest of the rejected patients go," said PoopStain.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg38xB478k
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFLJhYX9ck
"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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIe8wRkcSO
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBDqGAlt4l
"Fine," I said.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGT3Oll4Vp
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5yjoJYgt1
"That was not what I was expecting you to say," said Bert giving me a weird look.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp87XtzdSnY
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ksrh26wSN
"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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMRae14Rh5
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlWs5vS6hJ
"Ok. Me and Bert will go defend the hospital with the others," said PoopStain.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveka3xA1sg
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbCVutV0zi
"Oh yeah. JJ told me to give you this," said Bert handing me JJ’s engraved colt and a couple spare clips.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrhsXNXu6o
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3YllzXEFH
"Why would he do that?" I asked.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P9CE1yJyM
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6hE2umUV2
"Neither of you will be needing it so it doesn't really make a difference. But we really need to get going," said PoopStain.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYd2EOSvXG
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP06hUcwYmK
"Alright get going," I said.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPjWsB9Q0b
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxN1qhpran
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRzCJGMDjf
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CkXtCaQ2D
I hear a nearby fire fight and I follow the sounds.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQvgmrRwzj
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWKxh9H7CE
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUbQd3rQ2H
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZvJwJLHRI
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hesA3c7tH
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOPAAzYSwl
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ6szRZwcA
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukBEf9JA2G
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwhNQ7LtC7
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVmNHuncw1
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnEBSzpjKc
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrtyw5z9mJ
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mfm1Oct9o
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeh10UGvwV
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hcjiugz3P
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZPA99Pszf
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPNb6IZSEF
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS0380jOw9
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dRrlxxXHi
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmsobUgqa4
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.
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsdZWAg0mC
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB047GbV1n0
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKILqUs99ba
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNBj8vd6cw
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumK19OdiZG
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49GSNMQf8t
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVapDAcGkM
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaDt59Dy4b
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0kGPcSsB9
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvrHtPeXci
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV6t2fjO9H
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZTioagYKN

487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTHP6KlEug
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Um96ls40
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFiTPT8QN3
Cucumber waves me to come to him. I jog over to him and he says, "you saved American lives kid, and I thank you."487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJDDdAEfsF
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH010aEy6fa
"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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5dD3ncVgL
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5iEr0190C
"Where did they come from?" said the Captain.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcEPqk70eY
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY44Qk8clV
"There is a road just over there," I said pointing where I saw the Germans come from. At least where I think I remember.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZgeTA9NRK

"Corporal take your squad over there and defend it," ordered Captain Cucumber to a soldier beside him.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg7OsQ0ah9

"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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqUeh4PRgr
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2r9G5QDjk
"Fuck we don't have much to send. I'll take ten soldiers from here and go myself," said Captain Cucumber.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx10ASt5a2
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduSgSQRfYB
"I'll come too," I said.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DVGRHl9Ji

"Ready yourselves troops! Almost there!" announced the Captain.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5A0EFKpXW
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMB4IMp8SK
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeNqHRX1j2
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFpmgdc8Iu
"Just around this corner!" said Cucumber.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkmLeWXZkp
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XT7iixzi4
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn57LxCdvd
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwgtm5Qb3O
"Captain are you hit?" asked a Marine.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7N0HokQMq
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1zgZgwVNE
The Captain stares blankly into space without answering. His eyes go watery and he starts to cry.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsohIRIcu9h
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9yzQ4ysc5
"Captain. We have to keep fighting. We can't let those soldiers die in vain," I said.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnyxmYC6bp

Cucumber picks himself up and wipes the tears from his face.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjdCG1BAV8
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOtGrRN7BI
"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!!!

487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuebXxAbXw4
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7tbWPOI4S
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpgkVFLtHj
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ2QkGrtxq
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9IRPfF8ST
Suddenly I hear chanting behind me. I turn around and see a massive army of marines running to us.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOzYSJU1Zf
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7lc2DT21U
"It's the Colonel! Support the Captain from here and let the others catch up!" said a soldier beside me.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9yK3m1Ilg

"NOOO!" Yelled the Colonel as Cucumber drops to his knees.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS5WAotFxA
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHhlT7QNWU
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFjw91lAoV
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0MWffbbR1
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6YTM591q7

487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdz2axg9GQ
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAQv0Rt6lW

487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR3VdmFUDA
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aHXRrGXts
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh4WxTGABq
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zFDKF4xhC
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRx7ACrZ5K
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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbT3UmINvh

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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgXMYu3Uyq

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.487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4JEziieVh

"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."487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrju3USETiG
