Fighting Fate 7 (Flashback)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~


-in the Sickbay tent, bodybags everywhere-

"(The Rebels got heavy casualities.) Damn, what is that smell!?" Devon covers his mouth and nose.
A nurse passed by,
"Many men died today young man, honor the dead, for they have sacrificed their life protecting what matters most to them, Freedom."
She walks away.

"Freedom huh..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*past events*
*2 boys and a girl playing in a garden*

"Hahahahahah! I got you now! BANG!" A boy shouts.
"You missed ahahahaha!" It was Devon when he was still a boy.
"Watch me, i won't miss! BANG!" A girl pretended she was holding a gun.
"Ah nooo! Hahahaha!" Devon grabs his head.
"Yay! A Headshot!" Said the little girl.
"Playing war is so much fun! Ahahaha!" Said the other boy.

They all laughed happily.

*the scene changed to an urban battlefield*
*explosions everywhere*

"God damn it! They have started the Carpet Bombing! We gotta go now!" A soldier holding a radio shouted to his fellow soldier.
"Hit the dirt!" Another soldier shouted, Devon at 17 years old.

They jumped, a large explosion in background.

"Ugh!" Devon tried to stand, beside him is whats left if his friend's body.

"Jim! Lets get you out of here!"

"De-Dev, I-i can't stand... i can't feel my legs... my freaking legs..."
Devon looked down, Jim's lower torso is gone, waist, legs, burnt from the explosion.
"My legs! So much pain! -Screams in agony-"

"Oh God..."

"I can't take this! -screaming in pain- God damn it! Shoot me!"

"No! No man left behind! Remember!?" Devon kneels beside his friend.

"Cut this Heroic shit man! Shoot me! Don't let me suffer any longer!"

 .....

"-Devon pulls out his sidearm then Aims at his head- Forgive me Jim... -his arms started to shake-"

Devon pulled the trigger, the gunfire sound echoes through his ears.

*back to present time*
*Rebel Sickbay tent*

"Hey, snap out of it kid."

"Eh!?" Devon took a step back.
"Dont stand infront of the door kid, people needs medical attention."
"Oh.. eh, sorry."
"It seems you've been thinking. Go get your girl, there is time for thinking later."
