The trooper
Chapter 6: Day five… the final assault.
Disclaimer: I am my own parasite.
Treize: We will crush them today; use the darkness to move into position at first light we will destroy them.
The men leave and get into position, at first light Ranma and his men and women stand in the trenches with their weapons pointing outwards, Ranma pulls out his bayonet and looks at it.
Ranma: Fix bayonets.
Everyone with rifles get out their bayonets and attach them, the enemy pop their heads up as Ranma stands up and fires his weapon killing an enemy soldier and running forward soon the troopers are running forward bayoneting the enemy, shooting at them and beating them to death with rifle butts.
Afterwards
Kensuke walks around taking photos of the dead, wounded, prisoners and the surviving troopers as Ranma walks towards him.
Ranma: Glad to see you survived.
Kensuke: Thank you sir.
Ranma: I want you to do me a favour.
Kensuke: What?
Ranma: I want you to tell the people what happened here, how my men died.
Kensuke: I wouldn't know where to start sir.
Ranma: You have to tell them.
Kensuke: Yes sir.
Drop ships land and the wounded and the dead are placed on first then the survivors get on, the last drop ship lands, Ranma, Ryoga and Kensuke get on and the drop ship takes off.
Military space station
Ranma knocks on the door of Serena and Darien's door, Serena opens it as Ranma takes off his helmet and hands her a letter.
Ranma: I'm sorry.
Ranma holds Serena as she down breaks into tears.
Elsewhere
Kensuke sits behind a typewriter thinking of what to type as he breaks down into tears.
Kensuke: (I will always be haunted of the images of what I saw, the smell of cordite, burning flesh and he sound of artillery will haunt me.)
He starts typing.
Kensuke: (This is a tribute to the young men and women that died on both sides and what really happened and how it really happened.)
