Epilogue: Imperfect PerfectionA Chapter by Scorpious AlphaEpilogue:
Imperfect Perfection A Couple
Months Later One morning, we woke up to shots fired.
S**t always happens in the morning, I guess that would be the best time for
them to strike considering most of the unit, including me, was sleeping. We all
scrambled out of bed and got geared up. A couple people were down by the time
we got outside. “I gots your back!” Johan yells to me. “Finally, some action!” Leo says as he
starts shooting the enemy. I may not like it, but at least he gets the job
done. Bullets are flying, s**t’s blowing up, and I hear a bang behind me. I
turn around to see the crumpled body of an Iraqi with a bullet in his head. I
turn around, and see Francois waving at me. I get right back into the action,
and start shooting. I take cover as the fire intensifies. It’s been awhile
since I was in a combat situation. “Johan! Leo!” I shout from the wall. “Ja?” “Yeah?” “Over here!” I motion towards them. They
spot me and rush over. I go back to hiding and they catch up. “You wanted
action, Leo, you happy now?” “Extremely.” “You ams crazy.” Johan says. “Nope, just doing my job.” Leo’s probably
got more kills than anyone else here, but he’s also reckless with it. I see
Stec, Eddie, Sean and Tyler either getting cover, or getting shot at. I see
more people drop and it makes me sick to my stomach. I kill a few more people
before our position is compromised. We rush and find new cover. “Aren’t you even the tiniest bit afraid you’re
going to die today?” I ask. “Not at all, I’m taking these fuckers with
me!” He says as he kills another. I managed to kill a few more too, they were
everywhere. I was convinced none of us were getting out of there alive. “DIE!!! DIE!!!” Leo says as he shoots them.
He gets way too into it. I see bodies drop in front of me and it takes me a
second to remember Francois is behind us picking them off. Damn, that guy is
good. “F**k, I’m out of ammo.” “Me toos.” Johan says. “Let’s go.” Leo says. We rush to the supply
crate and manage to reload before we’re discovered. Leo takes the first few
shots. Johan takes the other side and we rush out, trying to find adequate
cover. We reach it, and get our backs to the wall. “It’s been an honor serving with you guys.”
I say. “I am honored as well.” Johan says. “You say that like we’re already done for.”
Leo says. “Just in case we are.” I say. “Nah, we’ll get through this, we always do.” “You ams right.” Johan says. “Alright, let’s split up and finish these
b******s off! See you at the celebration and mourning when we’re finished!” We
do a triple fist bump and separate. I don’t know about the other two, but I
didn’t have many enemies in my way. As I pick up my gun to shoot the enemy in
front of me, I see him turn around and run. I shoot him anyway, one more left
alive is one more that can kill us. I hear the cease fire call, and I head to
the tent. “Alright, good job out there today guys, we
managed to hold them off, they retreated.” Kait tells us. “Alpha, Stec, you and
the doctor will be checking bodies for survivors. Honey, Lutz, you start
bringing back the dead. Everyone else help repair our station. Cougle will be
overseeing cleanup while I start making the list of the dead.” “Yes sir.” Everyone says at once. I start
checking out the bodies, but nobody was alive yet. And then I saw him lying
there, dead. My best friend was gone forever and there was nothing I could do
about it. “Johan! Johan!” I said as I rushed up to
him. I picked up his limp body and started to cry. To Be
