So things happen in this chapter. There's going to be some time jumping around, so I'm putting the dates in.

Enjoy! :)

November 6th


Today is the day that they complete their main objective in this fight. Today, they are sure, they will capture Sedan and the railroad hub. And then they will finish the battle that has been dragging on for so, so long.

Mush and Spot are ready.

Their division is with the French forces right now. The French, who are better trained at fighting, and will probably be the ones who make this mission a success. Not that any American has any hard feelings about that.

Now, here, the French rush forward to capture the hub.

All the American forces capture the surrounding hills, securing the French's position.

They did it.

They captured Sedan. They all cheer.

Mush and Spot exchange glances, overjoyed. This is what they've been working toward this whole time. And they are here to see it through.

Of course, the fight is far from over. It's not like the opposing forces will come quietly.

So they'll continue to fight.

They'll fight until this over, once and for all.

November 7th


Race has a feeling that the war is going to end soon. He says this to Ermal and Antonio. Both of them raise their eyebrows at him, wanting him to continue. 

"I don't know. I just ... I have this feeling. I have this feeling that something big is going to happen soon. Like, the tipping point is going to happen at some point, and it will all go downhill from there, and someone will come up on top. I don't know when that'll happen, but I am sure that it's going to happen soon."

Between the three of them, they have at least five, six, different languages. So sometimes they switch languages when they talk without realizing it, but they all understand the meaning nonetheless.

"Who do you think is going to be the one to come up on top?" Antonio asks quietly.

Well, Race wants it to be the Allies; because that means that the Axis powers will fall, and that they'll be released from the prison camps, and they can go home. But from in here, there's no way of telling how the war is going.

He sighs. "I don't know. I just don't know."

"Cover for me, okay?" David says to Sardinia as he gets in his plane, trying to get through everything as quickly as he can.

"You know they won't like it when I tell them that you've run off to rescue your boyfriend," Sardinia warns him.

"So don't," David replies breezily, still flipping switches. "Besides, if you knew where Dave was, wouldn't you try to get to him this very instant?"

Sardinia sighs. "Okay, you got me there."

David stops, and turns to Sardinia. "Hey. You will see him again."
