Brotherhood

Time: 27th of April

Location: Delémont

POV: Kyle's

''Move it!'' I ordered the driver as I heard the screaming clearer, but suddenly it turned quiet, ''Comb the area.'' I opened the hatch to jump out of the tank.

''System activation, brotherhood, 'One is destined to walk with many, fight with many, and battle many. But yet there is only one equal who shall be there at all times, whether one is beaten down or standing at the top, they will never leave your side, not do to love, but due to the connection of Brotherhood, an unexplainable link between minds.' There is a mind link in the area.''

I was a bit confused when I heard what the system said, but then it dawned upon me, 'Interesting, very interesting!'

I jumped from the commander's position onto the rubble beneath me, 'This area is under enemy control, I must watch my steps' I looked around at the buildings,

''Advance eastwards!'' I ordered my tank while climbing into a window, I walked silently through the building keeping check of my surroundings,

I continued onwards when I suddenly heard voices in the distance, 'Interesting' I glanced in the direction of the voices before making my way there, passing through 2 more buildings I decided to finally go to the second floor.

I crouch down and slowly walked towards to an open window, I leaned against the wall while listening, ''These damn bastards, why the absolute fuck are these people so fanatic!'' an older man said while eating his rations,

''Shss!'' the younger soldier said quickly before continuing, ''Be quiet, these Union people are also fanatic, I prefer normal militaries over these ones.''

The old man just grunted, ''They pay us mercenaries enough money so let us not complain, and don't forget the bonuses!'' He pointed at the direction where some voices were coming from,

I looked calmly at these men before grabbing my radio to contact my tank, ''go two blocks west from your position before heading North by one block, stop behind the brick wall leading towards the small square, load in HESH (High-explosive squash head) rounds.''

I grabbed my 50. Cal sniper rifle and aimed it at the group of men, I pulled the trigger lightly... A massive booming sound came forward as the Bullet flew towards the old commander, piercing his skull making his head explode, '' ADVANCE!'' I shouted,

The Pz.Kpfw VII smashed through the wall before firing the HESH round causing a massive explosion, even my house was vibrating from the explosion. 'Fuck that's potent' I cursed as I saw the damage,

I exited the building and walked towards the piles of meat which were the mercenaries, I grabbed a ribbon of a person they kept and clenched my fist, I looked down ''I shall punish you all for this, don't touch my people....''

I turned 180 degrees to walk towards the tank, but just as I was to put my foot down I heard a weak voice, 'Did I hear someone say, 'Help me?'' I looked around but found nothing, I shrugged it off before continuing to walk towards the tank, ''..He..lp..m..e'' I heard one last desperate attempt of attention,

I walked towards the source whilst putting my Sniper back in the inter-dimensional storage, Crouching down I finally saw a hand sticking out of the rubble, putting my fingers against the wrist I found a pulse, ''GET SOME MEN HERE!'' I shouted, I stood up again but I wish I didn't. 'Click' I looked down at what I stood in, 'Fuck!' I cursed in my mind.

A mine was directly under my foot and would trigger if I released it, 2 Tankers came running towards me, but I put up my right hand to stop them, 'Even though I have my suit equipped, I am not sure if it can survive an explosion from this proximity.' I analysed the precarious situation I landed myself in,

Seeing my hand both men stopped, ''Get the person out of the Rubble,'' I ordered, the man acted quickly but when they saw what I stood on all blood drained from their face, not because of the danger of it exploding, but knowing who is standing on it.

''NOW GET RUDOLF OVER HERE!'' I ordered the men before turning to look at the burning city

In the Swiss Mountains the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In the Swiss Mountains.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In the Swiss Mountains.
