"SIR YOU HAVE TO ORDER THE RETREAT NOW!" A man ducked behind the cover of an overturned car where the leader was.
"WHAT?!" The leader looked to the young man while blasts blasted the car they were using for cover.
"You have to order the retreat sir. This position is lost" The man ducked as another blast rocked the car.
"WE CAN HOLD IT!" The leader seemed to be trying to reassure him-self.
"No we can't sir" The man looked back up to his superior.
"We can hold it damn it" The leader spat.
"HOLD WHAT SIR?! TAKE A LOOK! WE ARE LOSING MORE MEN THEN WE ARE KILLING!" The leader was taken aback by the sudden outburst of anger.
Finally relenting, the leader took a look over the cover of the car to assess the situation. On the other side he saw no men wounded but a good two dozen dead. This little kid was right. The position was lost. With only five men remaining there was no hope. Not against this enemy.
"RETREAT!" The leader yelled.
Three young men using a cement wall for cover turned with confused looks on their faces. Almost as if they did not understand the order.
"I SAID RETREAT DAMN IT! FALL BACK!" The leader yelled once more
A quick glance between the men and they got ready to move. They planned to use suppressing fire and slowly make their way back to the commander.
The leader slunk down beside the young man to his left.
"I lost…they won't forgive me for this" the leader looked to the young man
"Snap out of it sir. Let's just focus on getting out of here and we can deal with the consequences after" The man looked determined which gave him strength "Now where are they?"
The leader peeked over the top of the overturned car. He saw the men holding ground in a small hole created by a small explosive charge early on.
"What are you doing? I gave you orders to fall back" The leader shouted
"Sir we are not leaving him" Came the response
"Who?" The leader didn't need an answer as he quickly saw one of the youngest in a panic. He was in pain and was frantically covering a bullet wound in his chest. He somehow survived the bullet but he was losing blood fast.
The leader had trouble watching as two soldiers who had no experience in medicine trying to calm a friend in pain as blood gushed out of ever gap in his hands. Now was the time to make the toughest choice in his life. With all the gun fire raining down on them there was no way they would survive if they had to carry a wounded solider.
"LEAVE HIM HE'S DEAD!" The leader ordered
"NO WAY!" Came the response.
"IT WASN'T A SUGGESTION" The leader knew one dead man was better than three.
"BEG YOUR PARDON SIR BUT FU…." A small object struck the ground right above the three men and bounced into the hole.
"RUN!" The leader ordered
But before they even went to move it went off.
The grenade put the three young men down fast and easy. But for the leader it was the slowest few seconds of his life.
Before he even recovered and realized what was happening he felt himself being yanked down and away.
"What….WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" the leader ordered as he noticed the last solider he had was yanking him away from the fight.
"I'm keeping you alive now let's go" the young man pushed his leader ahead of him as he kept running.
(Back at the battle field)
"Sir they escaped. What are your orders?" The machine asked
"Chatter" Perry the Platiborg pointed after them and just as quickly as he pointed the machines were off in hot pursuit.
Perry surveyed his surroundings and was satisfied with his results.
He once again crushed a small pocket of the resistance for his master and limited his losses to only three robots. Easily replaceable. This was cause for a smile as he relished in his victory.
"Sir" A robot approached and gave an honourable bow to Perry "Urgent message from Doofenshmirtz" the robot quickly extended a screen from his chest and brought it down to Perry's level. A quick jolt of static and Doofenshmirtz appeared on screen.
"Ahhhh Perry the Platiborg. I trust everything went well" Doofenshmirtz smiled and received a salute in return.
"Good. How many this time?" Doofenshmirtz questioned
Perry responded by motioning fifteen of the resistance. Doofenshmirtz seemed overly pleased with that.
"And of my robots?" Doofenshmirtz expected no losses so he was quite upset when Perry motioned three.
"Really? Three?" Doofenshmirtz gave a sigh as he rubbed his eyes "Come see me as soon as possible Perry" Doofenshmirtz then cut the connection.
Perry recognized that sigh and knew that Doofenshmirtz was once again disappointed in his work. But for the life of him he could not figure out why.
Quickly bringing out his rocket pack located on his back Perry took off as the remaining robots went to work cleaning up the streets.
(Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc.)
"I made you the commander of my military to get me results not lose me resources. What were you thinking? We have superior fire power. If you cannot kill them quickly then wait them out. They will eventually make a break for it and that is when you take them out. I don't give you unlimited funding to destroy my military" Doofenshmirtz was really letting Perry have it and he was still confused. All he lost was three little robots it wasn't like he lost the whole armada he brought with him.
Perry opened his mouth to respond but was silenced by Doofenshmirtz who shot a hand up to silence him.
"I am letting you go with a warning right now but I want real results from now on. Now get out" Doofenshmirtz pointed towards the door
Perry didn't understand at all. This was such a small loss and yet Doofenshmirtz was making a huge deal out of it.
"Chatter" Perry approached the desk of his commander
"I SAID GET OUT!" Doofenshmirtz yelled
Perry was fed up. In a huff he left and slammed the door behind him.
Who did he think he was? It wasn't like he was risking his life every day fighting the resistance. He was doing a good job and no matter what Doofenshmirtz would badger Perry about his failure and losses in each battle no matter how successful he was. What was wrong with him these days?
Perry tried thinking but decided to just leave and get some sleep. Tomorrow he would be up against more opposition and he needed to sleep and recharge his batteries. Still he wasn't thrilled at this development.
This relationship depended on trust and it seemed that each day Doofenshmirtz had less and less trust for him. Tomorrow Perry would change that.
