“What do you mean you’re going with him?!” midnight shouted as she grabbed hold of eclipse

“That’s what I said, I'm joining Mise on his mission.” Eclipse said

“As am I, besides he already approved it.” Sparkjump said

In that moment everyone’s attention was suddenly directed towards Mise. His new friends had just finished breaking the news to the rest of
the gang. Needless to say I didn’t go ever very well.

“Mise, is this true? I understand why shard is going, but on earth are you letting those two go as well?” Octavia asked

“Aye, it’s true, I'm not happy about it and believe me I tried to talk them out of it, but they twisted my arm.” Mise said

“Why do you two want to go anyway?” Alejandra asked

“I wanted to help, I knew it was dangerous but it seemed like he could use it.” Eclipse said

“And I felt I could be an asset, I have access to “certain” things, and knew I could help.” Sparkjump said

Everyone just looked at the two like they were crazy, but not pinkie or treble crazy, just what are you thinking crazy.

“Well all I know is that if anything happens to those three, Mise, you’re going to have a lot of answering to do. And quite possibly an angry mob.” Midnight said

“Oh I’m well aware, I would never lead my men on any kind of suicide mission. I’ve studied military tactic and strategy for years. I am a colonel after all. Anyway, I know when to strike and how to do so.” Mise said

“Mise, I hope for your sake, you know what you’re doing.” Soul said

“I do, now, eclipse, shard, sparkjump, meet me at the old abandoned airfield just outside of town at o’400 tomorrow. There we will meet our transport. And from there we fly to Belfast. Now get some sleep, I’ll see you tomorrow.” Mise said

“Yes sir” the three said in unison

And with that the gang departed and went their separate ways. Mise then went up to his room and picked up a picture off his nightstand and looked at it.

“I promise I’ll make this right, I promise I’ll do the right thing.” Mise said as he put the picture back and lay down on his bed and went to sleep.

3:00am the next morning

Mise got up and got his stuff together and put his uniform on. He walked over to the Irish tri-color and saluted it. And walked out and made his way to the airfield. Instead of taking his tank he just walked. He planned on having his tank shipped later. He wanted to take the time to think and clear his mind.

‘Am I really doing the right thing? Of course I am, those bastards need to be taught a lesson.’ Mise thought as he made his way to the air field

His mind was a battlefield of its own. His military mind set, morals, and philosophies were all battling each other.

Mise eventually got to the old abandoned airfield and was waiting there for his men to arrive and his friend to get there as well. His mind
was swirling with thoughts of the past present and future, what he used to be, how far he's come, and what might happen down the road.

‘I can’t believe I’ve come this far, I wish my siblings could see me now…wait, what if they saw me now, what would-’
His thoughts were broken by the sound of a chopper coming in for a landing. He looked up to see a small helicopter coming down.

"Colonel Mise en Place, were here to take you and your group to the jet that you’ll be taking to Belfast, prepare to board." the pilot said over the speaker.

Just then his group showed up, they looked tired but ready.

“Alright you’re all her now get on, the jet is waiting.” The pilot instructed and everyone except for Mise did as they were told.

"Colonel Mise, what are you waiting for, get on!" eclipse shouted.

Mise grabbed the handle and put his foot on the step but stopped halfway and got back on the ground

"No. No I’m not going, as your commanding officer I order you to get off." Mise said

“Mise now’s not the time, we have to go!” sparkjump shouted

“I SAID NOW, I’M NOT GOING, NOW GET OFF THAT HELICOPTER!” Mise commanded

His friends once again did as they were told, much to the confusion of the both his friends and the flight crew

Shard grabbed Mise by the shoulder and pushed him up against the chopper.

"Don't you dare turn your back on this now! You're the one that agreed to this, we all agreed to this, and we're seeing this through. I understand that you've built your life here, your friends and family are here as well, you don't want to leave them behind, you don't want to
risk it, I get that. But if you don't bury the past now it will come back to haunt you later, and I'm talking from experience here, if you want to know why I'll tell you but only if you get on this damn chopper with us and put an end to your conflicts once and for all." He stated firmly holding his blade up to Mise's throat

Mise looked directly into shards eyes and spoke “You can go ahead and slit my throat right, here right now, it’s not going to change anything. I’ve made up my mind, I can command my army from here, I'm done living life on the edge. I was going to retire after this anyway, but I’ve decides this isn’t worth doing; it’s not what his uncle would want, and especially not my siblings. They’d be very disappointed in me if
I went through with this.” Mise said

Shard put his blade away and punched Mise in the gut, knocking the wind out of him.

"Then make them proud by ending this conflict, not through a radio, a phone or a screen, do it with your own two hands. Earn the respect of your family again, and finish what you started! If you don't do this...then I will, alone if I have to." Shard threw Mise down and went to board the chopper

Mise looked up at shard and spoke

“I will finish what I stared as well as this conflict, but if I lose some respect by doing from here by so be it. But I’m not but I will end this. I’ve lost too much as it is. You can go and fight but I'm not bringing you.”

“Just remember, this isn’t over, I still made a promise intend to keep, I'm not going to let you bring shame on my family.” Shard said sternly as he reluctantly got off the chopper

“I’m aware, and as the subject of said promise, I hereby release you from your bond, if I need to sign a document, I will, if I need to give you my blood, I will, I’ll do whatever I need to do in order to make this right. But if I were to go through with that, in my eyes, I’d be bringing shame on my family. There’s other ways of doing this, but mass slaughter is not the way and if that’s still not good enough, well I can’t help you.” Mise said

“Colonel, what’s the hold up?” the pilot asked through the speaker

“I’m not going, so as your commanding officer, I order you to return home, I’ll be in touch with the brass back in Belfast." Mise said sternly as the chopper took off
