148 China Time 5

Dan who was starting a new family was the one who should have lived. He didn't even know how to go break this news to his girlfriend. Bob told me that I didn't have to worry about it but Rex immediately said that he would break the news to her since he gave his life for him. 

Bob could only nod, Bob also felt sad but he had seen so many people die that were close to him that he had become numb to death. I was pretty miserable for the next few days even though we had won the war I felt like we had still lost the battle. 

I went to go see Rex and Ponder at the infirmary the one day when we got back to our base they were all resting and pretty moody. I felt s.h.i.+ty about losing Dan. I went in with a cheerful mood because I didn't want to make them depressed as they were already feeling pretty bad about losing Dan. 

When I got in I was like" hey guys I got some Asian food for you guys", they didn't say anything but only nodded. I then asked, " what is the cheapest meat"? They all looked at me in confusion and started to ponder on the answer but eventually gave up and asked what the cheapest meats?. I then said deer meat because it's under a Buck. 

They all said lame at the same time as I laughed hard causing them to laugh too. I said," it's okay guys we have to live on for Dan, he sacrificed his life to keep us alive so all we can do is live on for him". Rex started crying as he said"  it should have been me" I patted his back I told him" it's part of life we win some we lose some". 

After chatting with them for a bit I went to go talk to Bob about what we were going to do next. Bob smiled and said "what's up Eazy I heard you're getting a medal of honor" I nodded and told him that "yeah we stopped a war so the benefits that we should get should be overwhelming but even though I should feel happy about it I really don't". 

Bob then said"  yeah in battles you're going to lose your brother's all the time but luckily for you guys, this will be your last time ever going into a battle hopefully" I nodded and said"  so what's next to me", Bob then said," you'll be regrouping and heading over to j.a.pan to join your team over there, they're going to be touring around the world facing off against different opponents in different military forces in order to unite the world, they're trying to bring up sports which is a highlighted figure for the world". 

I agreed with him as I told him that I can't wait to start this new journey. Hopefully, there'll be people out there that will give me a challenge. Bob laughed and said, "well our military army basketball team the Ground Force sucks so hopefully you can win some for us and bring home the big trophy".

I nodded and saluted Bob thanking him for the time he spent training us. We spent some time together chatting about the old times before someone came to escort me to the airbase. I went to go say my goodbyes to Nana, Rex, and Ponder. They were all sad to see me go but I had no choice in this matter. 

I told them that I'll go and see Dan's family after finis.h.i.+ng the tour, they wished me good luck and that they'll be watching my games. I thanked them for the support as I left the infirmary. One of the soldiers from the j.a.pan base came and escorted me to the place where we were going to be taking the plane and traveling to j.a.pan. 

This escort was a six-foot-two caucasian male, he thanked me for my services and introduced himself as Lieutenant Surge. That reminded me of a Pokemon gym leader from the Kanto region as I chuckled in my head. I thanked him for coming to escort me as we left. We boarded an all-black suburban as we made our way to the airbase.  

Lt. Surge asked me how my mission was and I told him it was quite an experience. I killed and I lost but overall I grew to be a better man and to appreciate life because you never know what would happen. If I had not been a little bit late behind my team I would have also been missing a body part. He nodded and said" yes that's true I've seen all kinds of crazy stuff, as he showed his hand to me he was missing two fingers. 

I simply nodded as we kept quiet for the rest of the trip. While we were traveling the rest of the world was going crazy about the news of North Korea surrendering to the United States. Everyone in the states was happy as finally, their troops would be coming home and they had won the war. 

My family members had all gathered together thinking that I would be coming back that day since the war was now finally over forgetting that I had a one-year contract and I'd only been gone for 8 months. After a few hours, I contacted Rasta to let him know that my secret mission was done and now I'm going for the basketball end of the contract. 

Rasta was surprised by this and said" but you guys ended the war how come you guys are not coming home" but then he remembered that I was supposed to play basketball too and it was supposed to be a year that I was gone. Rasta shook his head and said," well everybody had gathered together to hold a party for you but now that I know that you're not coming home we will have to hold it for you after a few months". 

I laughed and said,"  well I did tell you guys it was supposed to be a year and how did you know that I was the one that ended the war"? Rasta smirked as he said,"  I didn't know but now I know". I laughed and shook my head and said "well I have to go" as I hung up the phone. I was only allowed one call so I had to make it worth it. I knew that if I had talked to Rihanna or any of the other ladies I would have been stuck on the phone for a long time but with Rasta on the line, I was able to cut it short.
