DW64: Well, after what seems like 2 freaking weeks, another chapter has been posted!
Chapter 43: Retelling
After two days of rowing, Ricky's group and the Shinigamis decided to stop to rest.
"We should be arriving at Guam in at least one more day." Ichigo said to Ricky, Ben, Saber, Allen, Will, Lenalee, Rukia and Toph.
"And I've already contacted with Mustang. Our forces will arrive at Guam in one day as well and we will meet them there." Allen added.
Will turns to Ricky and looks at his face. His eyes are baggy and look like he hasn't slept in days. "What's wrong, Ricky? Did you get your rest?" Will asked.
"No. I can't sleep. I feel…" Ricky sighed as he lies back. "Nervous. Tomorrow is the invasion…24 hours from now. I don't know if I'm ready."
"Are you kidding? Of course you're ready!" Toph yelled.
"Yeah, after all we've been through, you will take down the Faction and put an end to Oswald's tyranny." Ben added to his friend.
"I know. But am I really ready?" Ricky asked. Saber placed her hand on Ricky's and Ricky looks up at her.
"Yes, of course you are. I know you are ready. Remember the time when you and Ben rescued me from the SS Axiom and get us out of there, I can still remember it." Saber said.
"Yeah, and that time when Will, you and I worked together to capture Falcone and save London." Allen nodded.
"And the time when you defeated me, but you spared my life." Rukia added.
"And the time when you freed me from slavery, and saved my country from Azula." Toph said.
"And recently, you defeated Aizen and save Japan from falling into the hands of the Faction." Ichigo said.
"We know you can do it Ricky!" Lenalee said while Will gives him a thumbs-up.
Ricky widens his eyes. His group believes in him and they have the utmost confidence in him. Ricky then smirked and nods his head. "You're right. I'm ready. And I will do my best when we reached Guam."
"And remember, you always have our support." Saber said as she holds out her hand. Ricky nods his head and places his hand on Saber's. Ben placed his hand on top of Ricky's hand and everybody else including Wall-E placed their hands on his hand as well.
"We're in this together, Ricky. And with unity and teamwork, we can do it." Ichigo said.
"Thanks guys. Thanks for comforting me and giving me confidence. So let's do it, when we reached Guam! We'll take out Oswald, save my guardian and put an end to the war!" Ricky said, now in determination.
"Right!" Everybody said together.
Ricky then turns his head away and thought, 'Don't worry Robert, I will rescue you. Just wait.'
END OF CHAPTER
DW64: Shortest chapter ever, huh? Okay, I felt maybe I should have added this in the last chapter. I had trouble with this chapter. I want to think of what the group should do before they reach Guam, but in the end, I decided to make a chapter about the retelling of the story so far. Sorry that the chapter is so freaking short, but in the next chapter, the group arrives at Guam and they are prepared to fight! Stay tune and read and review!
Also, I saw the second trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Awesome. Check it out!
