Joining The Lunar Republic

Bolt lifted General Pinkie onto his back, we looked for reinforcements and figured that we were the only survivors. Bolt and I flew through the onslaught of solar guards. Him, with General Pinkie on his back and me, covering him with my rifle. We somehow made it back to Fillydelphia, where we had taken refuge, and brought the General to the Medical Bay. We soon received terrible news, we had been hoping that others had made it away and fled before us, but, as it turns out, we were the only survivors in our regiment.

"Well Corporals," The General's personal assistant boomed, "With the power vested in me, I hereby promote you to Sergeants!"

We stared at each other, our mouths open in awe. The assistant pointed his hoof towards the door, and we left at once.

"Wow Sergeants!' Bolt exclaimed as we left the medical bay, "What's next?" He asked me.

"I think Lieutenant, I might be wrong though," I replied, excited.

"Acts of heroism sure fling you through the ranks don't they Lightning?" Bolt added.

"Yes they do," I replied again.

The very next day they had recruited a new general, he had a German accent and was very harsh.

"Yu don't like it? Yu can leave yu dirty solar scum!" He screamed at an unsuspecting Private when he complained about the blandness of the food.

The next week was worse. He seemed to have grown accustomed to the camp life and he thought of different ways to torture the soldiers.

"Am I in Tartarus?" Bolt grumbled.

"No, but I can't imagine Tartarus would be much worse!" I replied.
