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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapX8UVP5NR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq8sf0Jjfv
"Where is JJ?" I asked.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXLfi9gExe
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRY3wKZbPw
"Dylan, you're awake!" acknowledged Bert.
“Yeah, thanks for the lift man, I can use my own legs at this point,” I said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrlCs3T6L4
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsyL3Aw9RV
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,"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMAysXXbjL
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje2nEpFx6t
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJeSMozl7G
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9mCku2muu
"I’m perfectly fine now. Just needed a nap," I said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pj2HvQ9B0
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg4GlhVu9P
"Dylan. I can tell when you lie," said Bert.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeYDyff8Tg
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxZ0BRwcwK
"It was worth a shot,” I shrugged. “Where is JJ?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P8aTK1ueV
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln3QMu4ELy
"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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmN1EGKdzd
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UEK8W4u1Q
"So Bert just carried me around?" I said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn41Ga7INc
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXD4lu3ejk
"We were going to take you to the barracks where the rest of the rejected patients go," said PoopStain.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9vZRHGtAA
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzsyDAlWeV
"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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF292O0smN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxHSFqxc2S
"Fine," I said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1EQ8SKjCQ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3lE3WUDJZ
"That was not what I was expecting you to say," said Bert giving me a weird look.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xfSXQozaA
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMuf2lcXqp
"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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHtKljkgAc
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg6w05RlPh
"Ok. Me and Bert will go defend the hospital with the others," said PoopStain.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEzdEAUsf2
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDj5sFpsyn
"Oh yeah. JJ told me to give you this," said Bert handing me JJ’s engraved colt and a couple spare clips.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOTW5o5qSy
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoALlO1Bbq1
"Why would he do that?" I asked.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq7JgMEcRl
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsa2zVgTEB
"Neither of you will be needing it so it doesn't really make a difference. But we really need to get going," said PoopStain.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVxprUKMg6
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ57XaS4gpC
"Alright get going," I said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJcaEWLPuV
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F2HfwYg0i
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC5QNGloYr
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy9TYrZSfN
I hear a nearby fire fight and I follow the sounds.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFq5uZG9pO
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hTERChtEF
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFMs3zmNXv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAWXGil9vh
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXGKIzpz8m
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHVaXUkGev
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35ccwTnEhJ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImDyJnFJA9
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZAnvaJ4O2
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8hJrdSTV3
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgtjEFybRF
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dYf2FwOTa
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwOqPAZOl5
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNeOBmfs0w
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoioUOdGyI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9H7vlMsfG
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMxthRw9gw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0HKSB9R6r
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJAVeyS8Wz
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahbgw7UQ4h
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLFJOkgpnp
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhYc5T87Un
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQeAwSnl4E
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsliU9LQQU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd4znZstgA
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqgBwDI58l
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfz7Fvkm6S
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ZHH0SmOU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX4XdHMTtn
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsNDHFZg6k
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi552pq2ZeT
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnfRG6vkA3

*Bang*422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVYDPvCBrM
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT9aW2YHXZ
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuUQtn0i50
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCwF4AESiA
Cucumber waves me to come to him. I jog over to him and he says, "you saved American lives kid, and I thank you."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroqzup5kvA
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAwLpsdxNB
"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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XlAJKO5Xz
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV1JWZHnD8
"Where did they come from?" said the Captain.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjJV72Hweb
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdtpv1it71
"There is a road just over there," I said pointing where I saw the Germans come from. At least where I think I remember.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRuUeKpXw2

"Corporal take your squad over there and defend it," ordered Captain Cucumber to a soldier beside him.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW4YadEAEd

"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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvahBGZ2H7
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vhRMcCzH1
"Fuck we don't have much to send. I'll take ten soldiers from here and go myself," said Captain Cucumber.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbSUI18gs9
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqWxz1YidR
"I'll come too," I said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TlgnqFZiD

I tuck JJ’s colt in my belt and follow Captain Cucumber.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjyYtip6xY

"Ready yourselves troops! Almost there!" announced the Captain.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76ZtPx6CvY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzSyuefl5i
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISlyuxxJlQ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OA1oXEMg9
"Just around this corner!" said Cucumber.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ8y0ns32S
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZHSYDLnPn
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJGV7brKDs
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG4RUygDcY
"Captain are you hit?" asked a Marine.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJBkcBTTbK
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7dC2xP5Wl
The Captain stares blankly into space without answering. His eyes go watery and he starts to cry.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02GMKsC4pA
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3bhIvKZik
"Captain. We have to keep fighting. We can't let those soldiers die in vain," I said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Al50F4QJ

"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!!!

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsHXvD9thD
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0CGRtPDz2
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH9WMSrLQl
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj6jFamb1o
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJBlY8wzEp
Suddenly I hear chanting behind me. I turn around and see a massive army of marines running to us.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPktrlQnJ9g
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEEph4Um3X
"It's the Colonel! Support the Captain from here and let the others catch up!" said a soldier beside me.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcoA4Usu5k

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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkzg8eNXsf
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0LQlpCJlc
"NOOO!" Yelled the Colonel as Cucumber drops to his knees.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJQfpn9u8m
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGiUAqKgwm
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYQgAJMzMY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfAsU5cgue
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIyfHHZBzv

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPmQayUWgm
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGAfCFqpT2
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMim2EbyUa
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRcy3adKf6
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIazVsRszk2
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWDOPC7o3T

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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtfAty5n49

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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw2MOJ12TT

Agent comes over to us over hearing PoopStain and asked, "was the Colonel a Seal too?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOopWDIGVmu
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5TOCF1GxB
"No, but we did fight together in the last war," said PoopStain.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyjdu8nQQW
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzdl2dPw6l
"Who is he?" asked Agent.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOD8ECze8T

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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6LtZJt7fE
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCuEQS4rlH
"What's troubling you?" said Alfeo somehow knowing something is wrong.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3xvKQqGd7
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd4JAm26jn
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyyH0nR969

"Why is it that nobody's like me live, while heroes like Cucumber die," I said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkNIpJkKDj

"Nobody's?" said what sounded like Bert.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMjMytrnBk
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrpxwlF7l5
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp22p3WlHvG

"Well that's what I am," I said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYY5UiEDbL

"All of us kids are. We aren't like you ex Seals. We are just nobody's," said Destroyer.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCin78Cn4HI

"You guys are not nobody's," Bert made known with a grin.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOnGDe27ws
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3qOerGNam
"Then who are we?" I asked.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2GLsUwMGh
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVETT4GNOXw
There is a long pause and we wait patiently for Bert to answer.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLxzhqPr6o
