Chapter 8

Waking up in the nursing tent, Tiger jumps into a fighting stance. "Woah woah, calm down there soldier." Sergeant Hilly backs up. Tiger has been unconscious for about 24 hours. "You're safe here, hey we won, the Japanese won't be attacking Honk Kong anytime soon." Sergeant Hilly sits back in his chair. "B-b-illy" Tiger lies back onto the bed. "When's the next battle." Tiger closes his eyes. "What? Battle, oh son you should rest." Sergeant Hilly stands in surprise. "Ya the next battle, I ain't done fighting."

1945 Eastern Netherlands

"LETS GO, WE GOT A BATTLE TO WIN!" Captain Doos rushes the soldiers to the trenches. "Hey Tiger wait up!" Justin tries to keep up with him. Two battles ago Tiger befriended a African Canadian man, the shiniest skin Tiger has ever seen, even when he's covered in dirt. "Keep up you slowpoke!" Tiger yells back. The soldiers hide within the trenches built last year. "Why couldn't we just kill Golf Fisher in the first place? Kill the cause, eliminate the problem." Tiger raps his hands in bandages before grabbing the rifle. "We would've had this war either way, don't you see the pattern, history repeats." Justin rests his body before using the rifle. "I'd rather take a nap then fight this." Tiger finishes rapping his hands. "Trust me, I think we all do." Justin grabs his rifle. "Ya ready?" "Let's kill these fuckers." Tiger points his rifle at the Germans. Eight bullseyes. "Damn you're good." Justin ducks. "I had practice." Tiger takes the compliment. "BOMBERS!" A soldier yells. The soldiers run, but Tiger doesn't. He shoots at the bomb exploding mid air. "The fuck you runnin, just shoot em." Tiger says shooting all 5 bombs. "Cause we don't have reflexes like you." Justin gets down.

As the night settles in, the soldiers take turns sleeping. Food is scars so Tiger gives his food to Justin. "Why don't you ever eat?" Justin asks. "I can go three months without food, one month water." Tiger explains as he rests on the benches in the trench. "Must be useful." Justin closes his eyes leaning against Tiger. "What if I went to the German trench? It was fun with the Japs." Tiger yawns. "That's suicide, why not just stay here where its like 68% safer." Justin argues. "It's suicide for you, besides not like I haven't killed Nazis face up before." Tiger breaths in the cold air. "Hell, you maniac just get some shut eye." Justin falls asleep. Once Justin is deep in sleep, Tiger stands up and walks to a cavern where he meets the one and only Lucifer Morningstar. "What do you want?" Tiger asks annoyed. "Aren't you excited to see me?" Lucifer scores a shiny smile. "I've read about you, so is it true?" Tiger blushes. "Well no duh, that's why I haven't aged a bit, and so did you? Tell me, if you're not human, yet you possess those powers of Vulcan, the roman god of flames." "Please, I'm just some beast walking the earth in a human body." Tiger climbs onto Lucifer, laying his head on him. "Ooo, showing affection, I like it." Lucifer glides his hand down Tiger's back. "Shut up, this'll only be a few minutes. "Tiger snuggles deeper into Lucifer's chest and drifts into sleep.

BAMB! Tiger is woken up to a shok of bombs. "OMG THERE YOU ARE!" Justin pants as he finally finds Tiger. "Come on we're retreating!" Justin yells. "What! Not on my watch we're not." Tiger jumps to his feet. "Tell the captain that we're not retreating, GO!" Tiger orders Justin. Focusing on his energy, surface area of the trench. Tiger controls the heat coming from the sun creating a forcefield of scorching hot flames. "Tiger!" The captain comes running, but Tiger stops him. "What's h-" Justin cuts off the captain, "Look up, he created a shield." Justin says quietly. Just then the bombs have stopped. "Soldier, how much energy do you have left to finish them off?" Captain asks. "Not much, but I still have my martial art skills and…" Tiger answers. "Great, we need you out there." Captan Doos pats him on the shoulder. Tiger puts on a smirk. Soldiers rush overboard onto no man's land screaming at the top of their lungs. Tiger sprints to the Germans. He backflips over a Nazi, getting hold of his head, ripping it of and whipping it at another Nazi. Tiger uses his gun to stab right through a Nazis neck, shooting 5 others. German soldiers come charging at him, shooting everywhere, but Tiger smashes two Nazis' skulls together, using one of the bodies as a shield. Tiger biacidently bumps into a Nazi, quickly slicing the mans face with his claws. Distracted by the men he's fighting, Tiger gets shot in the shoulder flying into a pit, losing his rifle. He lets out a small cry, now he's mad. Tiger rips the bullet from his shoulder and goes ballistic murdering 5 Nazis until they begged for mercy. The last few German soldiers were left, however they held up a flag of surrender. "We won." A soldier says. "WE WON!" He repeats running back to the trench. Exhausted, Tiger collapses to the ground of relief.

"Daddy look I made my first 5 kills!" Hope, Tiger's youngest comes rushing. "That's great sweety!" Tiger dodges a fist, clawing out his opponent's heart. "I'm gonna go scare the coppers!" Hope jumps over to the police waiting outside the building. "WAIT WHAT!"
