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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw39CQvP4R
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHBEbyqj7G
"Where is JJ?" I asked.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P1FG6xYCc
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xFGTFBuuM
"Dylan, you're awake!" acknowledged Bert.
“Yeah, thanks for the lift man, I can use my own legs at this point,” I said.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zj5vqO4Cv
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1meiczpBb
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,"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsUl63MYKb
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX9DEaHRKl
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kRVw0cerL
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi03Bequseo
"I’m perfectly fine now. Just needed a nap," I said.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2Zopyamdh
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct5fTNkW94
"Dylan. I can tell when you lie," said Bert.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGvtC7PgA5
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtiFog9Qyy
"It was worth a shot,” I shrugged. “Where is JJ?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhRu2dW1qV
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3DJCCOWlj
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2fC65RYk7
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOWvLV9zsL
"So Bert just carried me around?" I said.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhCMi8tYR1
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ409INEhiqg
"We were going to take you to the barracks where the rest of the rejected patients go," said PoopStain.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY3FpFS5c7
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesXSDFmn8G
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXMSMrOtlW
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kHFw8OFuZ
"Fine," I said.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflHWGupeHP
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY98Ls3Ul77
"That was not what I was expecting you to say," said Bert giving me a weird look.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3w6UpuW0X
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirpfSs4jAA
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXEbGeX9wa
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1obSXExTI
"Ok. Me and Bert will go defend the hospital with the others," said PoopStain.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D2x7yP7zN
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69v9C3rKK2
"Oh yeah. JJ told me to give you this," said Bert handing me JJ’s engraved colt and a couple spare clips.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBDhUwCMTf
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsAbdWsfL2
"Why would he do that?" I asked.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBtopAxwHK
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrjkgCkIUF
"Neither of you will be needing it so it doesn't really make a difference. But we really need to get going," said PoopStain.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1st0v7PgD
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkacfl90rL8
"Alright get going," I said.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA8PKDT0Qg
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAiJzpB6he
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIhXcY62nH
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiiIzVA2iQ
I hear a nearby fire fight and I follow the sounds.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaO2YrCE3v
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPRXIZk1g7
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaoZrrCdr3
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVTrGQjMSX
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwRty38GqL
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BsUbKrsgZ
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCuZFOw8JH
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaqu6e3imf
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvzuRpd9fR
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWdRZ7d9es
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe29pMIeRYi
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFslVIjf86P
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYklKfqOup
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKbIVqxRUG
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqmFQKZhNw
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgDSxaolC9
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0bOP3GN40
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ096filDFYF
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Hm6107iR
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ6ZZz7MLQ
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlw7h5ARWM
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNilncHZAe
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYEtNREKRF
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxSFKVaOMQ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd4u9k0s7t
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD8h6WjXBS
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMswBZZ2Uae
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDxt78zPdV
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlprqsA4dP3
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl88xndfsaI
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6E3lPIpfD
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAAKj1Bz0G

*Bang*467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWw8cstt1j
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLkx5T1JpW
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3xvXNlx9Y
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27FfQn19iZ
Cucumber waves me to come to him. I jog over to him and he says, "you saved American lives kid, and I thank you."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xr33NL8YT
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJqm7JnL56
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1n6Bzu5Hc
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVwuKfYNbM
"Where did they come from?" said the Captain.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCbH9kA6PF
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5og5bjfqn
"There is a road just over there," I said pointing where I saw the Germans come from. At least where I think I remember.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO3vOwRccL

"Corporal take your squad over there and defend it," ordered Captain Cucumber to a soldier beside him.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOnav2zHzL

"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SCew3EIqY
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYc3udZJDL
"Fuck we don't have much to send. I'll take ten soldiers from here and go myself," said Captain Cucumber.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2hOPijkQ3
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8UOmN1Ivk
"I'll come too," I said.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITkGHVJGqB

"Ready yourselves troops! Almost there!" announced the Captain.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7pUjyzozB
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QeQrIB2HM
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVWIuYEzBE
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyWgF4EzrV
"Just around this corner!" said Cucumber.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O0tecYzvF
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFq5iHBjB6
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvlnJKCXyt
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoabuzah3Eo
"Captain are you hit?" asked a Marine.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ391YRsjmqd
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWm7i0VJDn
The Captain stares blankly into space without answering. His eyes go watery and he starts to cry.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUzNu3qzTz
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARhmHf11Jd
"Captain. We have to keep fighting. We can't let those soldiers die in vain," I said.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem8AJlBInq
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTmHkTHIYx
Cucumber picks himself up and wipes the tears from his face.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vN5AMsPGh
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWzp68VYmF
"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!!!

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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWVpmRKRvH
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XrSHpXBoK
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yMdXE1E4w
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWECIMrn0N
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XcDaB5OaV
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ245I3YqUvm
Suddenly I hear chanting behind me. I turn around and see a massive army of marines running to us.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFaESbFZne
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhozz1rRze
"It's the Colonel! Support the Captain from here and let the others catch up!" said a soldier beside me.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D8n88gqdO

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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVce9H8rC4
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnDFzPPuDS
"NOOO!" Yelled the Colonel as Cucumber drops to his knees.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CfJAGoyHK
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOi5fPyIFC
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX78u4XQcx
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifEe4WLRWg

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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RZBm1cVFt

"They will pay for this. They will fucking pay!" warned the Colonel followed by a terrifying evil war cry.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGQOLRUG6C
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxjP9glT1K
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7rwiUnMuU
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXAxXLStRL
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mXntmHlOy
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNua2Bg3pgZ
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8FCp7P5l

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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F3gPGMvFr

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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcb5gLqWUl

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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnDfBjm7ND

"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNu7iIrjce
