The troopers

Chapter 7: Two years later

Authors note: This is the final chapter.

Kensuke: (I don't know whatever happened to lieutenant colonel Ranma Saotome, sergeant major Ryoga Hibiki and the men and women of his platoon… I guess that ends the story of how most of the people in that battle went in as boys and came out as men.) Finished.

He hears a knock on his door and goes to answer it, he opens the door to reveal Ranma.

Kensuke: Lieutenant…

Ranma: I was honourably discharged a month ago.

Kensuke: I've just finished the story.

Kensuke walks off and Ranma follows him, Kensuke hands him a pile of papers and watches as Ranma flicks through them.

Ranma: As we killed the enemy and sent them to heaven my troopers and me stayed in hell.

Kensuke: It still haunts me to this day, I still wake up during the night and I still think I'm there.

The end of the story

Dedicated to the veterans and more importantly those who never came back home.
