From the Ruins
Shaun Churchman, The Commander of RB army got onto his Helicopter and took the Co-Pilot’s chair.
"Where to, Commander Sir?"
"Syslock, Irondin"
"But sir that’s a ghost.... well nation I guess"
"you don’t think I know that Sergeant? Just go"
"ok... your the commander, commander."
after about 4 hours the Sergeant started to look like he was lost
"Commander si...
"60 north 13 west"
"Wow commander how did you know that"
"you would be surprised what I know Sergeant."
after 2 more hours they finally reached Syslock there was not much left to see of it. Most of the building left were half fallen skyscrapers.
"I have no landing site Commander"
Shaun grabbed a rope from the back and tied it to the Helicopter
"no problem sergeant pick me up right here in 2 days"
"Yes sir Commander sir!"
and with that Shaun Repelled down to the ground and 2 sec. later the rope fell and the helicopter left.
"oh man... its been a long time..."
"yes it has Shaun" a unknown voice said
“!!!”
"Long time, no see," the voice said, as an old, familiar face emerged from the shadows.
"JL! Commander Sir" in a swift movement Shaun enters full attention.
J.L. nodded. "At ease," he said, affably, almost casually. "Churchman- Shaun- we've been friends for ages. No need to be so formal."
The Generalissimo took a seat in an armchair and motioned to the seat across from him. He lit a cigar, and offered one to Shaun.
Shaun sits down infrount of JL
" Thank you comm... JL"
Shaun takes the Cigar and lights it
"oh man... nothing like a nice Cuban Cigar ah your networks in cuba man first Cigars soon Castro's head... but any ways JL, what brings you here?"

Shaun takes the Cigar and lights it
"oh man... nothing like a nice Cuban Cigar ah your networks in cuba man first Cigars soon Castro's head... but any ways JL, what brings you here?"
He shrugged. "I heard you were taking a leave of absence, and figured you'd be here. Intuition, you might say. Shaun, it seems as if you want to talk. What's on your mind?"
"ohhh boy well JL you know I’m not Roach-busteren by Birth right? well reasinctly I have been feeling out of place as you say and something... I don’t know what is saying whatever I am looking will be found here in Irondin... JL... I can see on your face that I’m not the only reason your here... is there something wrong?"
"Yes, home is where the heart is, as the old cliche goes." He nodded, seeming very wistful. "Shaun, I take it your return is not a temporary one. Are you here to stay?"
"Well JL look around, not quite the place to reitre in eh? hehe however..."
J.L. raised an inquiring eyebrow. "However?" he echoed, as if it were an unfamiliar word. "Shaun, please tell me, why are you here, really? To revive Irondin?"
‘Well JL as you know, we are good friends however... we don’t always see eye to eye on the nation, as far as I know I’m the only Senior member of your Government that is against hunting Shoobans and I dislike all the banned media in RB but yet that’s all small really, but when I walk here I feel at home even among these ruins I feel that this is where I belong where the fates have decided this is where I must go and rebuild myself and a nation"
Shaun took a puff on his cigar.
"well that sounded insane eh JL?"

Shaun took a puff on his cigar.
"well that sounded insane eh JL?"
J.L. responded with a bemused smile. "Against hunting Shoobans?" he repeated, slowly, his forehead creasing in a distraught frown. "My friend, the Shoobans were made for good people like you and me to hunt. And our media is not banned, just heavily censored." He let out a wry chuckle. "But I understand your grievances, and respect them. Know always that my friendship will be yours. RB will back the reconstruction of your glorious nation to the fullest extent possible, as well."
"JL I thank you very much"
Shaun Hands JL a closed envelope
"This is my official Resonation of command of the army, full and binding as soon as you accept it"
Shaun got up and went in a room near by and after a minute or more came out with a odd looking flag and stepped out
"By the very Rock, land and metal that this nation is founded on I, Shaun Churchman, Loyal man of the people PROCLAME THE SECANDE AGE OF IRONDIN HAS BEGUNE!"
"I accept your resignation, Shaun. My government will wire $250 billion to help fund the reconstruction effort. Moreover, I will send 10,000 combat engineers, 400 military advisors, 2 infantry divisions, 40,000 Shooban sla- er, workers- plus architects, engineers, etc. to help out."
"JL I thank you very much for this but I wish to ask you something. What was your feeling about Irondin?"
"JL I thank you very much for this but I wish to ask you something. What was your feeling about Irondin?"
J.L.'s eyes took on an emotional hue, and he said, seemingly very wistful: "Irondin...was among the nations I was proudest to have as an ally. A friend since the beginning, a friend until the end. It is with great pleasure that I offer my help in reviving the glory of this nation."
"JL I will try to make this nation just as a noble and powerful as you remeber it. JL it is late you shude Return to RB tell them Shaun will not be returning with you, however he will always remain loyal."
Shaun walked out and watched the sun set over Syslock humming Aerosmiths's Dream on
"Sing for the tear...... Sing with me........ Dream on dream on."
Struggling not to weep, overcome with emotion, the Generalissimo rendered Shaun a sharp salute and said, "Godspeed, soldier. Godspeed." Then, he bade his old friend good-bye with a solemn wave, and turned away, disappearing into the shadows from whence he came.
