John

23 years of age, single, and no signs of parents

John was a good boy most of his life as he was orphaned, at the age of 5 he was over this and wanted to just focus on his life ahead. But he had met a kind girl named Mary who he started to hang out with from there on.

At age 7 he took interest in mechanics as they where amazing in his mind.m

"The engines and the power, what more could they do that we cpuld still think of?"

At age 12 John decided he wanted to help his country and wanted to make something worth its time.

However he never succeeded in this feat and continued failing.

This was until the war started at age 24

Machines made for war where brought out abd he was drafted, John saw a chance and he took it

He showed amazing skill in mechanis as he was able to memorize what needed to be done and he showed good teamwork on the field

But things didnt go as planned, John wanted to be on the team with invention and mind work to continue the evolution for war machines

Instead he was put on a tank unit and was asked to go on the field a year later, John was told

"You and your unit is not welcome home till you have won the war, we have spotted a weakness in the enemies defense and we want you to flank them on this path, do as much as you can for as long as you can,"

All of Johns valuable belongings where deposited into a bin at their request and he was off

Where he met the driver of the tank and the leader of of the 2 tank unit

"Nice to meet you Sergeant, my name is John"

"Good to see ya soldier, ya want some tea?"

"They allow that on these?"

"Yeah!, along with coffee and some blankets!"

"REALLY?"

"NO, we dont have time for those things boy, we are near a battlefield, now get on the left cannon and make sure not to miss DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?"

"YES SERGEANT"

man that guys scary

He met the other 3

The messenger

The engineer

And the other turret user

He greeted them all and came to know them well in a short 3 hours

Agter they took a break as the tanks tracks had broken

"Listen sergeant, I was-"

"Its ok John, We are on a battlefield yes, but we are a unit, we may want to know eachothers name but in the end we are pawns to win this war, wether we die or live matters just as much as winning, but in the end we can never turly predict our end, so greeting and getting to know eachother will only leave you to lose another friend"

"... Oh" John sighed

Although deep he was right

Getting to be friends with them meant nothing if they where to up and die in a matter of seconds

"So why dont we just live?" Said John

"Hmm?" Sergeant mumbles

"Why not protect eachother and live to tell the tale? If we can protect one another perhaps we dont need to worry about losing a friend or even dying, if we can watch eachothers back then theres no vulnerablity, we can defy death himself"

The sergeant stoof shocked a moment and a cheeky grin

"how idealistic, but foolish" said sergeant

"oh cmon sa-"

BANG

a explosion rings out into the field

"What the hell was that?" Said the Engineer

"THE 2BD TANK UNIT WAS HIT ABDND WE HAVE LOST CONTACT WITH OURS, WE ARE UNDER FIRE"

The team sprang into action and rushed into the tank. All five where ready for battle, or at least mostly. John shook with fear as he knew what was coming up next, or at least he thought he did

"RUSH THE ENEMY LINES WE CANNOT LOSE THIS POINT, DOES ANYOBENE HAVE VISUAL ON THE ENEMY?" Yelled sergeant

Sergeant was the only one they can hear along with the engine crackling of the engine, nothing

Gunshots and explosions where not there. Just silence

The tank drove forward toward the lines, the crew ready to fire, John continued chattering his teeth when. CRCK

The ground under the tank crackled and tore and the tank fell. the whole world webt sideways for John and the last thing he hears before blacking out was sarge yelling. "ITS A TRAP, BRACE ME-"

BOOM
