Ok, let me apologize. I got really distracted by my new airsoft gun, a thompson replica, spring break, and projects galore (research paper, wrtie a story for creative writing, ect.). I hadn't realized that i haven't updated in months. I'm sorry.

Ok, this chapter is short, and kind of a plot mover. I tried a different format, so: it's like a video recording, but only the sound. Italics is someone saying somthing in the backround. So, on to the chapter, and i will try (cross your fingers) to update sooner, but i also have to get a The Avatar's Brother chapter out.

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars or video, so stop reminding me.

Holo-Recording 1, Star date (jk) 460 days since Genosis

The rest of that day is all a blur. I can only remember a few things about it. It's only events.

It was an uphill battle, literally, getting Krieger up that hill. All around us there were laser shots sizzling past. I had to drag Krieger by a strap on his back, and he was facing backwards. I don't remember much until a little later.

There's a period after dragging Krieger uphill I can't remember too well. Sometime after that we had been pushed back to the top of the hill. I really didn't try to do anything other than shoot the stupid droids. I remember getting a certain sense of enjoyment from watching my bolts rip through a droid's metallic skin. I don't remember what anyone else was doing really.

After that my mind is blank for a while. I remember fighting next to Thunder. Suddenly I remember fighting next to Pat. Then my memory is fighting next to Lightning, which didn't make any sense because he was still bleeding at the time.

My next memory from the battle is fighting with Sarge, but that wasn't possible either. I'm not sure where my memories are coming from. I can't remember much after that, but the report says that we held out for sixteen hours after the initial assault. Pat says it was more like twenty, but I think he might be pulling my leg. Pat seems to think he has to make everything into a joke now, which I don't get at all.

The battle on the hill had cost the lives of two companies worth of men. Each of the companies had been ripped to shreds. We barely had enough men left over for a full company, but that's what they did. The entire battle was regarded as a huge victory, a masterpiece for Jedi master Obi-Wan, or at least that's what the holo-vids said. I wonder if anyone told them that he was unconscious the entire time.

After the battle we were transported to a republic ship. They let us "rest" for three days while we were transported to another planet. Pat says it was a med center above some planet. No Pat, I don't care what the planet's name was. So anyways they gave us a day rest there before they reorganized. We were now moved to Company H of the 37th infantry. We were nicknamed "the umbrella" or something, because of our defense of position Hail. Ya, it's a stupid nickname.

Lightning made it back to the med center, and held on for two days. We visited him constantly, but he was never conscious. I'm happy we weren't there when he…….

Anyways, the rest of our squad, Sarge, Zil, Zero, Manchester, Wellington, and Douglas didn't make it on Hail. They were overrun while covering a retreat lower on the hill. The only people from my squad that remain are Thunder, Pat, and I. Krieger made it too, and was added to our new squad. Six other men from other squads and companies joined too, but I can't remember their names. Dude, we're sitting right here. No, I'm sorry, I don't care. There's even a new sergeant, but I just can't bring myself to calling him Sarge.

Pat forced me to go to the med bay while I was here, despite my FEAR. Stud, that was years ago, get over it. It was a training thing, long story. Anyways, the doctor said something about battle fatigue and something like selective memory. Basically, that the trauma of the battle was too much for my brain to take, so I blocked it out or something. He said I should just get some rest. That quack didn't know what he was talking about; I mean he only had three fingers! Stud that guy had four fingers. Again, training thing, long story.

Ok, so our next assignment is coming up soon. We're already in transit and we're all geared up for the battle. Stud, get some sleep, please! I guess I need to go to sleep now. Maybe I'll sign on later, maybe I won't. Good night…….myself.

Holo-Recording terminated.

Sooooo, what did you think? Is anyone even reading this? The hits on this story have gone from 100 something to somewhere in the teens. Come on guys! So, maybe a new chapter soon? Hopefully. I just have to do another million things for school. AP tests coming up! EOIs too!
