I do not own any of the characters in this story (I wish) and some of the lines are from the movie but most of this is just from these strange dreams I've been having after seeing this movie 5 times. Enjoy! Oh yeah sorry if some stuff isn't accurate I'm trying as best as I can.
Scenario: It is during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Rafe and Danny have just wiped out four Japanese zeros while playing chicken. Rafe still has one plane on his tail. He gets Earl and the rest of the men to climb the tower and shoot it down for him.
"Earl! Get some guns in that God damn tower!" Rafe screamed, as he peeked out behind him to see a Jap zero right on his tail. The man was so close he could see every facial expression of his face. Rafe took a deep breath as he turned around the tower.
"This towers a long sun of a bitch!" Earl said as he led the men to the top. As they made it up Earl screamed into the radio, "Ok we're up!"
"Good I'm gonna bring him right by you now you be ready."
The men held their fire as they waited for Rafe to bring the Jap by. "Hold it… Hold it… Now!" Earl screamed as ammunition came flying out of the tower towards the plane giving it little damage. The plane continued on Rafe's tail as he again tried to shake him.
"Nice try!" Rafe screamed into the radio. He could now feel the bullets ricocheting off the tail of his plane. It now almost seemed that the pilot knew Rafe's every move. The Japanese pilot finally got a good shot on Rafe and fired knocking off a chunk of Rafe's left wing. "Danny I'm hit!" Rafe screamed into the radio.
"Land Rafe! You've got to land!" Danny screamed seeing the smoke coming out of his wing.
Rafe began to land but before he hit the ground the Jap took off another large chunk from the same left wing. He hit the ground hard putting his right wing up in flames. "Oh my God!" Danny screamed in shock of what he just saw. In a revenge rage he quickly got on the tail of the plane that shot down his best friend. "This is for Rafe!" he screamed out as a stream of shots came flying out of his plane destroying the Jap plane in mid-flight.
Danny quickly looked around looking for anymore Japanese planed and then quickly landed. He ran to Rafe's plane wreck and imagined the bloody corpse of his best friend. The cockpit was slightly smashed and was about to set fire. Danny quickly searched the plane to find it empty, no remnant of ashes or body parts just a little bit of blood on the crushed control board and a missing control. A feeling of hope swept through Danny's body. He began to look for any trail left by Rafe but couldn't find him anywhere.
Evelyn walked through the madness of the hospital trying to help out the next victim in need. She prayed that she wouldn't see Danny or Rafe in one of these beds dying. One of the doctors looked over to her. He was covered in blood as was she and trying to help a victim with a large gauge in his chest. "Evelyn," he paused, "you need to make sure only to let in the people who we can save."
"No," Evelyn said she didn't have the heart to let helpless people die. "I can't!"
"You have to! Please just do it!" he replied. Evelyn took a deep breath; she turned around and grabbed a lipstick from her over turned purse. This would be the hardest thing she would have to do; choose who were to live and who were to die.
Danny wanted to go talk to Evelyn but didn't want to worry her while she was to be working. He knew she would only assume that Rafe had died and he couldn't handle to tell her the news again. He could only imagine Rafe dying in some street corner with no one to help him. "Where are you Rafe?" Danny said to himself as he looked out into the distant waters filled with flames of horror that lit the harbor and filled it with cries of terror. The sight made Danny cringe and look away.
The planes hadn't come back for at least an hour now. Danny looked down at his watch to see it was now 11:30. He knew the hospital would still be a large swamp of hell. He decided the least he could do was help in the harbor until late afternoon so he could then talk to Evelyn about what had happened.
As Danny approached the site he had a feeling of discomfort. Dead burnt bodies floated along the murky waters of the harbor. There were still flames on many of the bombed ships and he could see a ship still burning though many feet under the water. "How can I help?" He asked a man covered in dirt, oil, and sweat.
"Uh," the man said, his eyes were filled with terror as he looked about the harbor full of a need for help. "How about helping those men over there." He said pointing to a large group trying to pull something up.
As he finished he looked back at his watch. He scrubbed it off and saw that the time was now 4:00. He walked away and headed for the hospital.
Evelyn sat down for the first time in many hours. She pulled her hair behind her ears and whipped the dirt and sweat off of her fore head. She worried about Danny and Rafe; she hadn't seen them and wondered if that was a good thing.
Danny walked into the door; Evelyn got up and walked to him to give him a hug. "Where's Rafe?" she asked him in a confused voice. She knew that Danny and he would be together no matter what had happened. An uneasy feeling swept through her and she broke down and cried.
Danny tried to hold back the tears, "I don't know," he said as he too began to cry.
"Are you positive he's…dead?"
"No, we couldn't find any body. There's still a chance he's alive."
"You have to go find him! I'll stay here if he shows up."
"Ok," Danny said as he walked out. He looked back at her as he exited the door. Her eyes filled with fear of not only what she had seen today but of her heart broken from the loose of her one true love again.
Rafe McCawley awoke in a mysterious alley on the streets of Ford Island. His hand was resting on his lower chest; it felt moist and cold. He looked at his hand to see it blood read from the large cut on his chest. His white tee shirt was now torn and red from the extreme loss of blood.
"Are you ok?" he heard from an old man leaning over him. He was obviously a civilian from his sunglasses and camera. "Let me get you to the hospital!" He said looking at his large wound.
The man helped Rafe up and used himself as a crutch to help him to the car.
