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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer3eL9tdbg
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsDwvWKQgp
"Where is JJ?" I asked.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0VJW0p4Tw
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77qTSTAMDM
"Dylan, you're awake!" acknowledged Bert.
“Yeah, thanks for the lift man, I can use my own legs at this point,” I said.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Re5aHJ7by
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmOlP3D5mp
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,"436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k9e6h3rgt
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgp05A1opc
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmor0wKiPLT
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOs0C1KYK6
"I’m perfectly fine now. Just needed a nap," I said.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8zPk0U6PK
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRSSdxA0zN
"Dylan. I can tell when you lie," said Bert.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6yqpCYBz8
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyKHiGOpb2
"It was worth a shot,” I shrugged. “Where is JJ?"436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqf9flagbx
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuOCzlvTEO
"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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJYhWIZV3D
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OOnnvBhKI
"So Bert just carried me around?" I said.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QXaotVbfp
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfzyiYEDYs
"We were going to take you to the barracks where the rest of the rejected patients go," said PoopStain.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywr3QhUOJf
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRlF7uqhmJ
"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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCxIt3MeXP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LghOpwXX4
"Fine," I said.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQLXRW8lAE
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cF0GfEm4F
"That was not what I was expecting you to say," said Bert giving me a weird look.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCbfaJyPhz
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJYjXH0pPc
"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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuGcbfiBXp
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSUeMtMozB
"Ok. Me and Bert will go defend the hospital with the others," said PoopStain.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCHfNXmWsl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXz9RSRKLL
"Oh yeah. JJ told me to give you this," said Bert handing me JJ’s engraved colt and a couple spare clips.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N2i4kGuvP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmFcTAk0a3
"Why would he do that?" I asked.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnKN90Tisr
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs8LZrUGz0
"Neither of you will be needing it so it doesn't really make a difference. But we really need to get going," said PoopStain.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3hl7PsyZ6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwcD1E73iU
"Alright get going," I said.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R2OCjIOFV
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NbaFRlwRP
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fwMr7DvPv
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaCux00yQR
I hear a nearby fire fight and I follow the sounds.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXyP3SOLud
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHKpXa23kE
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEBGYoqONS
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSzENDnyzU
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihUajHSmwH
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmNMaQAlnU
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz65q74k57l
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NlcMunKHb
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphFwJu24qs
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrczO1Vblnb
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB91uLaGSn
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFvNdF0Ax4
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGXOW2hc4H
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgKIhB23pV
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGmM2PxncN
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrO6byxvaS
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nfrgz4L6d
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfnKyUbxBQ
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryDtCmINWC
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG152mVUGV
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOINhKqiFCv
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisPi3c0Lgx
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5emKf4UP6
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUultYMucg
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYl8eNB75h
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha8a8Nlv14
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ395Dyy5lDF
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv961GpXdf6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG4OiTW0Tg
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiU2TsiJdx
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVosV2tiAZ0
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ7oY56w3D

*Bang*436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLDGLoFAgh
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWOxUoq7v2
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBExtV6m2qA
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPW04ZAreE
Cucumber waves me to come to him. I jog over to him and he says, "you saved American lives kid, and I thank you."436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohAdDGcoA7
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGiw98fx3I
"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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOOuUaoby5
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LaPUJpNFK
"Where did they come from?" said the Captain.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2J6tySqjP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64eepdHwS6
"There is a road just over there," I said pointing where I saw the Germans come from. At least where I think I remember.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDmyfoGlOF

"Corporal take your squad over there and defend it," ordered Captain Cucumber to a soldier beside him.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0jWWOixBR

"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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4vHnCitsl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFzHtUbSMl
"Fuck we don't have much to send. I'll take ten soldiers from here and go myself," said Captain Cucumber.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Ja5ioeme
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPzoxLHmh2
"I'll come too," I said.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mYVUYH6Gs

"Ready yourselves troops! Almost there!" announced the Captain.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie2RxE25UV
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JEHeHqBrA
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIfaoYks18
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWJG3UFh2z
"Just around this corner!" said Cucumber.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYcZrfLrq6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkWXdVnjjY
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmDSbbYZon
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG3YwaOvoa
"Captain are you hit?" asked a Marine.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP5D8spU77
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNVzhxFaTf
The Captain stares blankly into space without answering. His eyes go watery and he starts to cry.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdHeiItUN5
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwYoD3NHgW
"Captain. We have to keep fighting. We can't let those soldiers die in vain," I said.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTSS1d4Ko6

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq3iKbXfJ3
"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!!!

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNykBBbZk4d
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC3AqHTHbF
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ggjqSqGG
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56pOb8rk3p
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb7DTrhybB
Suddenly I hear chanting behind me. I turn around and see a massive army of marines running to us.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF98dGV90Ef
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAck5OIZBs
"It's the Colonel! Support the Captain from here and let the others catch up!" said a soldier beside me.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8pF2uHhCz
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUZlYRZeyu
We stop trying to catch up to the Captain and support him from here. The massive Marine force is almost to us.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTldtXfbsb

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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTbVcljkKw

"NOOO!" Yelled the Colonel as Cucumber drops to his knees.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBodDlWXa3
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdRxxmMPaw
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyElVrJzHtL
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbdSANc8OH
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn4uM98tPm

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKgHGMA37Q
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFpF8chNWV

436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjwYjVIndx
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqHO9Y6Jyc
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FXVn62ten
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhU4533GEo
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgaPicRPp4
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePgi8ARO8C

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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkx5o2RN7C

Agent comes over to us over hearing PoopStain and asked, "was the Colonel a Seal too?"436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobD4ICV5u8
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGThq24IwC
"No, but we did fight together in the last war," said PoopStain.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QcNfIcYXo
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSsPGTlQlH
"Who is he?" asked Agent.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ88Jhi92Qr
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9k5FdSgss
"His name is Shepherd. And I thought he was dead," said PoopStain.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTBt353xYz

"I just can't believe it. I saw him,"- "save it for another day. Today is meant for honoring the fallen heroes," said Alfeo interrupting PoopStain.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKplUMgU1h
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXEOltPKgI
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkPk2wpgbu
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzHsO5HmNZ
"What's troubling you?" said Alfeo somehow knowing something is wrong.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCtRVy0E39
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjRqXCZszO
"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."436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWrByIkMZq

"Why is it that nobody's like me live, while heroes like Cucumber die," I said.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LHqI77NFC
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nKXmV4fbc
"Nobody's?" said what sounded like Bert.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uuYxTKvqc
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjsBtiCdLv
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.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO2TgwpkcC

"Dylan I heard you call yourself a nobody," said Bert ignoring my comment.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDbaIXZZow

"Well that's what I am," I said.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0znCGKymO
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2uUjVA3TA
"All of us kids are. We aren't like you ex Seals. We are just nobody's," said Destroyer.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGuaep7Ch5

Bert smiles and chuckles.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC83w4Naj5

Me and the others look at each other wondering what is funny.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FzcNw7JdP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzNcHxuB7o
"You guys are not nobody's," Bert made known with a grin.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQfog6qSnd
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OAk2xftJc
"Then who are we?" I asked.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFJuMEBUJ3
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vEJmkd6aV
There is a long pause and we wait patiently for Bert to answer.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQiE4UTMg
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOUQSrXPlq
"You are…” said Bert. “The Underdogs.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9su5JacOsb
