Chapter 8… YAY. Sorry if I took a long time to get this typed. I blame school. To the Reviews:
Rui-chan: You'll find out what they meant. Thanks for telling me that, but there is more to the battlefield.
Lolly1o1: I don't see anything wrong with your previous reviews.
Kuro-san34: Thanks. Panzers are (or were) a class of tanks that were built for Germany in the interwar and WWII
I'm not doing the disclaimer because I own nothing but a poor soul.
TO DA STORY!
Chapter 8- Death of a friend. Ambush pt.2
Rin's POV.
Mikuo, Len, and I were chosen to use an A-20 to go scouting the battlefield and to go locate the Germans and their Super tank. We went out early in the morning. As we drove past the trees, I saw our infantry men setting up mortars in the distance. We then entered the forest, when our troubles started. The engine cut down, and we were miles in the forest. All of a sudden, we heard German shouts, and Saw a huge group come for us.
Mikuo's POV
Dammit, I thought. The tank needed repairs for the engine. We raised our guns and fired round after round of .44 caliber bullets into the enemy horde. They then started firing back. We ran out of the tank knowing that it was going to be captured by the Nazis. I then Shouted to Rin and Len, "Run! Go get help. I'll hold them off." Rin looked at me and said, "No, I want to stay with you. You are the only person I have left other than Len that actually cares about me. You have helped me through all these troubles and I don't want you to die right here." I can hear more gun shots, and see Len firing his Panzerfaust that he had clearly stolen from the Germans. "There is no time to waste. Go get help. Please Rin please no matter what." She looks at me with tears in her eyes, and says, "Ok. I would. Please Just do not die on me." I nod at her. She then nods back and tells Len, "Let's get reinforcements." I smile and as they ran out. "I SHALL FIGHT TILL MY LAST BREATH" I yell at the oncoming Nazis. I grabbed the .50 caliber machine gun, and fired into the wave of Nazis. I felt bullets entering my arm, but the adrenaline made the pain dull. Then the dreaded chunk of the empty magazine came. I felt a bullet enter my head and everything went black.
Len's POV
I figured out that the Third Reich was planning this all along, so that they brought out the best troops to try and capture me, because I had left them. Rin kept dragging me towards the base. We met up with a platoon of infantry, and told them that we needed help. Rin and I ran back to the forest area where we met all the S.S. Troops which is the best troops in the Third Reich. What I saw wasn't the best sight I wanted to see. Mikuo did his best, and killed about thirty S.S. troops making them fall back. Then I noticed him lying lifeless in the snow in front of the tank. I felt tears well up in my eyes.
Rin's POV
When I saw Mikuo's body, I immediately cried in agony. Just like Miku, he was killed by a bullet to the head. We without saying a word, the platoon carried him back to the base, and buried him in the snow. The faint sound of artillery rang in the distance. I didn't feel anything, but pain and anguish. After the burial of Mikuo, I was allowed to not fight. I immediately went to sleep. I dreamt of a white field of snow with a forest and river. Suddenly, I saw two figures. I looked closer, and noticed that it was both Mikuo and Miku, now united. They looked at me, and smiled. "Now that we are united, we would sing a song for you Rin," Miku said. Mikuo started to hum a tune, and Miku started singing:
"Apple and pear trees were a-blooming,
Mist (was) creeping on the river.
On the steep and lofty bank.
She was walking, singing a song
About a grey steppe eagle,
About her true love,
Whose letters she was keeping."
Mikuo took a breath, but Miku kept going. I was already tearing up.
"Oh you song! Little song of a maiden,
Head for the bright sun.
And reach for the soldier on the far-away border
Along with greetings from Katyusha.
Let him remember an ordinary girl,
And hear how she sings,
Let him preserve the Motherland,
Same as Katyusha preserves their love."
As they finished, they looked at me again. "We now can live happily again without me having to live lonely for the rest of my life up here, Rin." Miku said. "Please. Please don't go." I told them. I then woke up to me falling over the bed. I looked around in confusion until I saw Len looking at me. He told me, "The head commander wants to see you." I nod my head, and immediately go to the head command tent. "I have been expecting you Rin Kagene." He tells me. "General, why do you want me?" I asked him with a questioning look on my face. "Since Mikuo died in combat, I would like to raise your rank from private to Corporal." I stared in shock. Me, Corporal?, I thought. "I accept general. Thank you." He nods his head and I prepare to leave. "Just to be clear. I have got a new war machine that you can use tomorrow in battle. I just received the cargo today." I nod to this and leave. Len met up with me, and we both went to the tank barracks. I then stare in shock. All I see is an artillery truck that had carried a full load of Katyusha Rockets. I looked at Len, and smiled. "We have a game changer here." Len smiled and nods an agreement. Time to make those Nazi bastards pay.
That is it now. I hope you all enjoyed it. The Song that Miku and Mikuo sang was called Katyusha, and that is the English lyrics to the song. If you haven't, please F&F and R&R if you can, thanks. As the usual See you guys later.
