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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvG5BtWenZ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvTNNyl3xZ
"Where is JJ?" I asked.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpjBUzZ57b
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHemjrRgtPp
"Dylan, you're awake!" acknowledged Bert.
“Yeah, thanks for the lift man, I can use my own legs at this point,” I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC1xRQkeJs
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYK3oEzpO6
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,"441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnU1ieDfBe
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5MX13gPfO
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3WZrhJ0FI
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszDVfTlRtE
"I’m perfectly fine now. Just needed a nap," I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U4CjkVCK3
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF4S7lhnLs
"Dylan. I can tell when you lie," said Bert.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nAHYtugKA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKlNScMxYI
"It was worth a shot,” I shrugged. “Where is JJ?"441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhcvPOAMx1
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImQfeb4wkr
"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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTZ0yOe6OI
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSPy5ydjhK
"So Bert just carried me around?" I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq24PcASYyW
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv1Z0vD86c
"We were going to take you to the barracks where the rest of the rejected patients go," said PoopStain.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KeYZplqVD
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVnMbCDm1g
"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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ254BDGKOSA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRHGLKl78y
"Fine," I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zgY1GGHDL
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlLv9Z1EM1
"That was not what I was expecting you to say," said Bert giving me a weird look.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PBGZEW1xx
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPTp4r5DY6
"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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGn1TrTSxm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxXdWBk22z
"Ok. Me and Bert will go defend the hospital with the others," said PoopStain.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBPBilWOkg
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi0FAuasBK
"Oh yeah. JJ told me to give you this," said Bert handing me JJ’s engraved colt and a couple spare clips.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnAhdPTDOg
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd11AdVxNq
"Why would he do that?" I asked.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IlacI6UCw
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsSMxpYc81
"Neither of you will be needing it so it doesn't really make a difference. But we really need to get going," said PoopStain.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvlDhuwGBR
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTT0Qjv0vz
"Alright get going," I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98rspM26Tw
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36t4h5h23O
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOH7PrHIwu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuUPkiz9VQ
I hear a nearby fire fight and I follow the sounds.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdfOTw5XVS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dj9FbWiu8
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfWXCFHp5o
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYL9scGK9t
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqiUkB0YED
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiG3nX7Cut
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmhowxAyX7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo38sIW2RJR
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OKaIExkVY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HMsvWS65r
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPb1h8EMn2
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXERJZHz51
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxbg7FQrdg
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBGeYuWoAM
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKQ3GzeWdH
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k2Mzi4LKm
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSujEaeMb4F
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx6YLKxbIM
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXfTd5Zcm0
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOcPLYHVNn
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47FwyHZgM4
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX7cwjJtef
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljSo6mC6dG
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzfU7j8bHI
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t6BIqdjsF
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QgowwoaeV
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC0MWer6dR
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOsAk208pJ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm5wdOeEG2
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKind41qVRk
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4rm1GextC
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Ng9u51pr

*Bang*441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfOea8Ecyn
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvigQQDYyVw
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQVX7SxaMs
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeDrDM9jC4
Cucumber waves me to come to him. I jog over to him and he says, "you saved American lives kid, and I thank you."441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJXxi3XGCK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuseAURnt0
"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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQULXpFSxK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV66ku5EWdD
"Where did they come from?" said the Captain.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTD8ZOIOz6
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt6H0Pat78
"There is a road just over there," I said pointing where I saw the Germans come from. At least where I think I remember.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9bT6CHhKL
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKEk1Y0hLz
"Corporal take your squad over there and defend it," ordered Captain Cucumber to a soldier beside him.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlFAeRTKo1

"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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtxaRgiUr7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqCgveKT4X
"Fuck we don't have much to send. I'll take ten soldiers from here and go myself," said Captain Cucumber.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiojsoM9jfQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgQ39Fw97L
"I'll come too," I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBLoLy8Mkg

I tuck JJ’s colt in my belt and follow Captain Cucumber.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyPkMxbzcp

"Ready yourselves troops! Almost there!" announced the Captain.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUkh0M6UTG
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xTMpCGUbb
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz9YqdwMY9
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM76TI3mTAh
"Just around this corner!" said Cucumber.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TY7ZYjeTF
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsntwUmmSEv
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcc10vHjFL
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H2hGvI2tc
"Captain are you hit?" asked a Marine.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtBSdLSeOA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY1OC65LI5
The Captain stares blankly into space without answering. His eyes go watery and he starts to cry.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bf939Abpy
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXb0PpFvnX
"Captain. We have to keep fighting. We can't let those soldiers die in vain," I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tzAEGKNNA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ZvFVPtND
Cucumber picks himself up and wipes the tears from his face.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLCLRQdLid

"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!!!

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstjo56lbll
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Mkwilsz7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMiZhc0Gxq
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3AYUY5jDp
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZjNEr3iMh
Suddenly I hear chanting behind me. I turn around and see a massive army of marines running to us.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmlxsyyFEj
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQcPC3MPoz
"It's the Colonel! Support the Captain from here and let the others catch up!" said a soldier beside me.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BwpKgfNQM

We stop trying to catch up to the Captain and support him from here. The massive Marine force is almost to us.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhTSyjzvcN

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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e49BDEcYf

"NOOO!" Yelled the Colonel as Cucumber drops to his knees.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1stLkQJ5j
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbm6hQnLc9
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JAyOSbUjw
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0j8ywk9cj
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeKIIRkvLs

Cucumber lets out his final breath as he passes to another world. Tears from the Colonel fall on Cucumbers face.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W1Iaq5EC4

"Cucumber," said the Colonel shaking Cucumber.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TByWc44bJ

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM1VB37fLM
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWci9cQ7py

"They will pay for this. They will fucking pay!" warned the Colonel followed by a terrifying evil war cry.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoU4brIBVN
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaF24wAQf8
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzWQ3F4ku4
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhQx9zQYkD
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tsvl9jHW7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ngVHlA5Ue
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw4ttpZlpS

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1TQVqWneF
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjwzT3TCsL
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53AmfIbt0s
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXitGvph2xC

Agent comes over to us over hearing PoopStain and asked, "was the Colonel a Seal too?"441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6cLPJDiuW
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9RFFDy8DI
"No, but we did fight together in the last war," said PoopStain.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPumLVM4ne
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtGzxvSWru
"Who is he?" asked Agent.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Ptn4whJn

"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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h47zC4T6G

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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4tUZxr7I3
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqB6BR3SKe
"What's troubling you?" said Alfeo somehow knowing something is wrong.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzAHTiYGiN
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0xJm6mUKM
"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."441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7MWpWsq8W

"Why is it that nobody's like me live, while heroes like Cucumber die," I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquRAl7WhYB

"Nobody's?" said what sounded like Bert.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnB5z7jmbc
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghNlG1OYwe
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES7ZVo9D2O

"Well that's what I am," I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOGq2TECXs

"All of us kids are. We aren't like you ex Seals. We are just nobody's," said Destroyer.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cqJ8cfzql

"Then who are we?" I asked.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2Li5y0DwH
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7gbXQwWy2
There is a long pause and we wait patiently for Bert to answer.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3B7yGxxAv
