His Last Appearance

It was hard for him to explain and tell his friend that he was leaving, especially to his sister and those who cares about him. Before he leaves he promise that he'll come back to everyone. It was just one paper that he had to obey and listen, they had control of him. Allen knew he wasn't suppose to feel so scared, it wasn't his first time being across sea. But this was different, it wasn't like the time in WWII. But what really scared him the most was '_{What if I don't come back and I end up being captive again?}', or worst. There were things that he wish he wasn't thinking of the time.

"They are not going to like the sound of dis once I tell them the news. But it for the best for everyone to know where I'm going." Allen whisper to himself as he put away the paper that was given to him from his higher commander. America was there when his captain had given it to him, the only thing that America could do was give Allen a sad smile. '_{Why couldn't you stop them, America? I don't want to go again, I witness too many death. I can't bare to see it happen. Why are you doing this to me? I learn my lesson, please. Don't make me go back into situation again.}'

Being caught inside his own thoughts, Allen made it to the house. Taking a deep breath before walking in, he hope he can find the right words to tell them. As he walk in, he see the people he love and cared about sitting in the living room watching t.v or playing cards. He was going to miss these kinda moment he spent with his friends and loves one.

"Oh Ari~ Welcome back!" Lola cheerful smile and ran up to the tall state before her, "How was work? You look kinda tired, was it tiring again?"

"Hello, Lola." Allen smile back and shake his head, "Oh no, work was alot easy this time. I didn't do much except do more paper works."

"Well that good to hear." Lola hug him and grab his hand, pulling him to the direction where everyone was at. "Come on silly, everyone waiting for you."

"Alright, but I have some rather interesting news I have to tell you guys." Allen frown as he made his way to the living room. Lola watch him in confuse but something felt wrong about his expression and follow him to the living room where everyone was at.

"Hey pudgy, how you ever heard of putting up some proactive on that face of yours?" Isabella smirk and laugh while David toss a pillow at her.

"Oh shut up, bitch tits. I'll have you know they aren't pimples! They are my volcano!" David snap and resisting the urge to punch the smaller islander who was sitting on the other side of him. Isabella couldn't help but snicker as she watch the tall state-islander throwing off steam.

"Sister, please stop teasing David." Mark sigh, as he held the sleeping state in his arms. "Nate, ah yew sure yew don't want tu go tu the bedroom and sleep?"

"No, I'm fine where I am." Nate mumble and nuzzle into Mark's chest, he felt so comfortable on Mark.

"Ugh, get a room you two." Leslie snicker as she watch Mark blush, she couldn't help but tease him. "I was only kidding, Mark. I just hope you don't anything fishy with my brother while your with Nate."

"Leslie!! I believe I can't handle my love life, don't go rubbing it in." Mark face was really red, maybe more red than his reddish orange color. Leslie couldn't help

Allen watch as everyone was having a good time, now deep inside. He felt like he was going to ruin this awesome moment that everyone was having. His fist was ball into tight grip, but relax it when he felt Lola hand on his. She was really worried about him and wanted to know what was going on inside the native boy head. He can be very mysterious when he doesn't respond to anything.

"Ari, is there something wrong? You look different." Lola ask while hugging him.

"Nah, I'm fine. It just I got something to tell everyone." Allen slightly smile and look down at her, "I promise you. Your in for a surprise."

"Hm?" Lola blink in confusion, what could he meant by that. She gave him a nodded and walk into the living room with Allen close behind her.

"Hey, Lil Brother. Your back late, something went wrong at work again?" Leslie look at him with concern, she really hated when Allen did came back late from work.

"Well something like that, sister. But I got something to tell everyone." Allen sigh, as he took out the important document he had in his left pocket. He gave it to his older sister who more concern than anyone, all eyes were on him and the paper. "I'm not shure who I'm going to say this, big sister. But----"

"What do you mean, Allen." Leslie said in a low tone, not taking her eyes off the paper that was given to her. Everyone in the room stop what they were doing and look at the western sibling. "Allen, please tell me what this paper is saying is a joke. Right?"

"What going on here?" David asked, Mark and Nate both wanted to say something but they had no clue what was going on. All except they know that Allen gave Leslie a paper. "Hey what that?"

"Hold on, David." Leslie scowl, leaving the Ahola state confuse. "Allen, please tell me."

"The paper isn't a joke, dear sister. It actually the real thing." Allen eyes glow to match the setting sunset, he turn his attention to everyone. "I wanted to tell everyone but it appear not everyone is here. I didn't know how to say this without feeling sad but I guess it was bound to come out. Today at work, I receive an order from my commander and it appear that I been summon to go on this mission. In other words, what I'm trying to say is.......I'm being to deploy to Afghanistan within 24hrs."

The room was completely silence.

"....."

"Yeah, I know. It was very complicated for me to tell ya guys like dis. But I have to go. I'd already got everything pack----" Allen was cut off when David spoke.

"So you knew about this? And you didn't bother telling us this?" David remark as he look at Allen, who remain silent. "I thought you said you didn't like keeping things from your friends, especially if it had to deal with Military."

"David, I'm sorry. But I didn't want you guys to be unhappy if I told you guys alot sooner." Allen whisper as he held his hand together. "But I owe America something and I'm returning the favor."

"But how is this returning the favor?!! You did your part like 69 years ago, Allen. I thought you quit after that day!! "Leslie shouted as she stood up and walk towards her little brother. "You promise you stop! Why didn't you tell me you were still in the military! I thought you had a normal job!"

"Leslie, please I didn't----"

*Slap*

"....."

"How could you keep this a secret from me, Allen. I thought we told each other everything..." Tears began to run down Leslie face, she couldn't bare to give on glance to her little brother. "_{Please, don't go Allen....I can't bare to see you go again...}"

"Leslie...." Allen spoke but his older sister already left into the kitchen, he wanted to follow her but it was best he didn't. He turn to look at everyone, he didn't know what to say now. 'And here I thought I got everything plan out, but I was wrong. It best I take my leave...'

Mark and everyone in the watch as Allen took off up stair. The room was once again silence, how were you suppose to react to that. Saying something random would put you in spot where you don't know what to do or say next beside everyone not responding to you.  

Before they know it, Allen was out the door with his stuff.

"I'll write or call ya guys when possible. But I'd promise I'll come back to you guys. I'm sorry that dis happen, I guess the way I plan it out wasn't going to be nice." Allen said not looking at his friends. "I'll miss yew guys deeply as much as I'll be miss. I love you guys with all my heart and promise to be back as soon as possible. But please, look after my dear sister for me."

Allen frown and walk out the door, as his ride pulled up. Deep in his heart he didn't want to go, he felt like his soul just left him as he walk away. Once he put away his stuff, he look outside the window. It then began to rain.

Everyone was at the front porch, witness his departure. Sad eye stare back at him as the taxi began to pull away. Before he took his glance away from his friends, he saw David running after him. He couldn't understand what the Hawaiian was saying as the Taxi began to pick up his pace.

David soon stop as the Taxi made the left corner, disappearing from his sight. He slowly sank to the ground on his knee, trying to catch his breath. His body was drench from the pouring rain but he was too busy not even noticing it. Soon Isabella and the others caught up with him.

"David?" was all Lola could say, watching her cousin stared at the empty road.

"I didn't get the chance to tell him..." David whisper as he frown.

"We all didn't, David...It was an surprising reaction that we didn't flinch for." Isabella said softly as she knelt beside him. Lola nodded and went on the other side.

"...." Mark was standing behind him with Nate at his side, they all drench from the rain. Nate slowly began to cry as he cling onto Mark, who held him close.

"......." David scream out in anger and sadness at the same time, letting out his pain for his friend departure. "ALLEN!!!!!"


..........~*28 weeks later in Afghanistan*~........................................

He thought it was going to be an easy mission just going around looking for anymore MIA or POW soldier that need to recuse. But things didn't go to well while he was out there, His team got like ambush after his Humvee got hit by an unexpected IED causing a big explosion. AZ got mostly the damage to his right arm, but that didn't stop him from saving his soldier. He did all he can to get them to safety, while most of the other soldier fired back to the enemy firing. While he was attending to the wounded soldier and carrying them away from the combat zone. He get shot by an enemy sniper, causing him to nearly dropping his soldier but he ignore it and kept going.  As soon he got away from the enemy firing, he took off his armor to see how bad his wounds are. It appear it was far worst than he can image, not only that he got shot by a sniper but random firing as well. He armor plates shattered within his IBA, he smile softly to himself wondering how long will he last due to lost of blood he losing. He tried to ignore the pain that was building up inside him, what felt more worst. The bullet or thought of losing what he loves behind.

The last thing, he remember was telling how much he love him. He couldn't remember the face for some reason, they are started to faded away. His eye began to fill with tears, why couldn't he remember them. Is this how a person felt when they are about to die? No, it can't be. He can't be dying, he promise to come home. He made sure he'll come home to the people he love and who are waiting for him to come home. His body began to lose heat like a dying flame, he was so cold. He remember how cold he felt when he had to walk 450 mile away from his homeland along with his mother and people. The reason why he hated winter so much was because his mother died along the way and so did many others.

"Shima....am I finally going to meet you again?" Allen whisper to himself, "But I'm not ready....I don't want to move on. I have so....many....things...to......do....."

"Hóóshéé, it isn't your time to give up your post my son. You have a big responsibility to do, I'm sorry my son. But I'm afraid I cannot let you slip into the other world with me. Someday, we'll meet each other again. Ashkíí, I love you with all my heart but your not ready to leave." MamaNavajo whisper and held Allen close to her. Laying her hand over his forehead and chanted in navajo.

He couldn't believe his ears, he never heard his mother voice for so long that he began to cry softly with a smile on his face. "_{Ayoo aniinish'ni shima}." Allen slowly close his eyes, letting his last sun set fall and rest forever.

30min later, the rest of his group found him and the other wounded soldier. They ran over to him and check his pulse, a frown appear onto the private face.

"We were too late, if only we got here alot sooner. We could have save you, Sir."

~*2 days later*~


"America, we have some rather bad news for you." The General Casey spoke, holding flag in his hand which represent both USA flag and AZ flag. America turn to look at both of the military men. "Your son, LT Allen J. Yazzie; was KIA on a convoy mission in Afghanistan. He was a brave and proud Officer, he lead his soldier to the fullest. He manage to save 3 wounded soldier, while 8 manage to cover their back he got them to safety. I'm sorry for your lost, but his action shall never be forgotten. I am proud to have him serve our country."

America nodded as he given the flag. Once the room was empty, America put both his flag and Arizona flag onto the table. He away from his desk and back up into the wall. Tears soon started falling down his cheeks. 'No....No....this isn't suppose to happen! Why...WHY!! '

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
