The Feukerev H-21 had a decal of a T-80 Peukarov and now knowing that this sole mission would either allow us to continue invading neighboring countries or be forced to Alorkev and lose progress and anger the battalion would be angered with how little we had completed.

"Hello? Are you ready because I wouldn't mind you moving so I could get in my Feukerev please" Hanna asked a bit of urgency could be found in her voice

" Please relax, let me take my time because I feel that rushing our procedures is not something that we should do. It directly violates the safety protocols that were sent by Matreuw"

She seemed so arrogant and angerened that she stormed off towards her cockpit practically screaming at one of the people who would direct us out of the airspace, and she had to be restrained by 4 guards so they could stop her from punching the hell out of the poor guy. Now with the distractions gone I was able to finally get inside of the cockpit and take a look at how beautiful it was. The controls were marvelous and everything she had imagined from her past experiences flying the controls.

Air Traffic Control came through the headset announcing which runway to take. Take Runway 2 Right and continue down the runway and then you may take off and you reach 50,000 feet your cruising altitude. I responded " Thanks will do, wish us luck"

Hanna asked if we could stop the pleasantries and please get off the ground. I quickly hit the thrust to gain speed down the runway, asking if she had anything else to complain about before de Zon was dropped otherwise there was no turning back at this point. The landing gear came down as the plane began to shake violently and I grabbed the joystick trying to gain control over the plane as it tilted to one side.

" You take on the Turo jets and I'll drop de Zon on the townspeople it only makes sense because it allows you to get those kills that you so desired to get " I instructed Hanna hoping she would listen to me instead of trying to do something completely radical and dangerous.


No response from her told me she had no answer to my statement. " So, please Hanna don't get aggravated that would ruin this entire mission as well as getting all of us into serious problems and deadly situations."

The town looked beautiful kids playing in the parks laughing and talking amongst themselves. And I held the tears that so desperately wanted to escape and trickle down my face behind the helmet that blocked my emotions. Hanna urged me to drop it immediately and with a laugh said bombs away! And my hand grabbed the lever and shoved it forward and the bomb dropped at a fast velocity and all the children looked up asking their parents what the large metallic object was. And the parents grabbed their children running away from the park trying to find shelter but it was too late. The bomb had landed and the entire city burst into flames. And the children were immediately murdered. Hanna celebrated seeing the dead bodies asking how the feeling felt to commit such a great act.

I cried that night realizing the monster that I had become in allowing all those innocent people to die. The Turo media were outraged and called it an attack against the peoples rights, that the people who committed these atrocities deserved to be publicly executed without exceptions. Hanna celebrated inside the bar near Keckolev and it felt utterly wrong to celebrate these deaths but I didn't want to downplay the victory. I had to celebrate and I didn't want any suspicion of me to grow especially from a hot tempered Hanna who already didn't like me. I asked Hanna if she didn't mind me leaving which in her drunk and intoxicated state seemed to hate the idea of me leaving, quoting that it would ruin the moment and that I should liven up more and enjoy the time I have. In an act of pure desperation told her that I was tired and sick and needed to head back to the bunk where in my assigned room my journal is found on the floor and the pages are wet? That doesn't make any sense, I wasn't in here for the past few weeks and barely had anytime to obsess over the journal so the possibility of someone wanting to destroy my writing about the army and how disastrous the soldiers were treated. My thoughts were interrupted by a certain drunk person slurring her words. "Sup.... What you overreacting about." Did this girl have no dignity? Was she the one who destroyed the only thing that I could console how I felt, people would always judge me for my opinions but I absolutely hated Hanna because of how she had a problem with behaving like a 12 year old on a sugar rush.

" Go to your bunk you drunk son of a bitch! You have no orders to be here. If your so desperate to party about the deaths of others go to the graveyard of our fallen comrades and take a stroll, maybe then your head will finally become normal like the rest of us" She stormed off breaking her bottle leaving shards of glass on the floor dangerously close to my door. Such an indignant little annoying brat always showing up whenever she can and causing more problems to the group. By the time I was ready to speak my mind Hanna had already turned her back and was turning the corner to head back to the Keckolev Bar presumably going to do the regular, drinking like it's her birthday or something and this was the time of her life, what she was defined by the pain of others whom she didn't care for which allowed her to celebrate such things that traumatized people that lived normal lives like most of us before people decide the best course of action is destruction.

The bed looked so conformable that I felt my body beg to sleep in the soft cushions. My dreams consisted of me walking through a beautiful meadow filled with flowers specifically Queen of Perius and Yellow Roses that smelled beautiful but then the sounds of bombs came erratically right into my head and the flowers dissipated with screaming of young children looking for their parents that they were seperated from. I turned and twisted in my bed hoping this would all go away and that the beautiful smells of Queen Perisus and candy's would come back. The night continued with me abruptly awaking everyone else from their slumber, they all gave me a death stare as I clasped a hand over my mouth to hold my breathing and reluctantly fell asleep.
