SCFF: The Holdout
By: Balagopalan Satheesh, Republic of India
Jharkhand (India)
Almost twenty years after the end of the Third Human Civil War, a Chinese soldier was found and rescued by the Indian army personnel in Jharkhand. The man has been recognized as Capt. Yip Jin (74). It was rumored that a “ghost” of a Chinese soldier haunted the area. The “ghost” was unmasked when Capt. Yip was caught. Yesterday, during the early morning hours, Yip had tried to rob a local grocery store. A detachment of Indian Mecha Regiment was deployed there to find and deactivate functioning hegemony and H.I.E droids were present at the scene. Their quick action led to the capture of Capt. Yip Jin who was terrorizing the area for past few years.
Yip Jin stood up in his cell the monkeys put him in. They had shaven his beard and head. The jumpsuit they had given them had well spaced black lines on white cloth. He felt quite uncomfortable in the garment. He had not worn anything that resembled a shirt in a long time. Last clothes he had worn were his B.D.U. He was also uncomfortable and shocked by many things his roach “shrink” told him. They told the war was over-Impossible! More preposterous were their claims that they won the war. Surely the monkeys and their roach allies must be lying! He was woken from his thoughts by the creaking noise of the cell door opening. Yip looked up. A Chinese man in his middle ages came in and smiled at him. “Uncle, you might not remember me, I am your nephew”, the man said. Little Yip Yen was a child when Yip Jin had left China to fight in the Great War. Jin tried to smile, but could only pull off a grimace. “I have come to take you home”, his nephew said. Jin raised his eyebrows and regarded Yen for sometime. “I can’t my child. I have to fight the war”. Yen sighed and shook his head. “Uncle,” he said, “ the war is over..” Yip Jin looked at his nephew stunned.
It had taken a lot of persuasion from his nephew’s part to bring Yip back to China. He couldn’t believe China was defeated. The Han were the master race! Yip was even more shocked when he heard his nephew speak about their defeat so casually. Yip was appalled when his nephew told him he didn’t know the Chinese national anthem. The China he saw was different and terrifying. The Han master race had submitted to roach rule! His nephew’s words rung in his head, “This is the new world order, Uncle”
Yip Jin affectionately played with his nephew’s son as they rode the air car towards Yen’s apartment. “We named him Bruce, Uncle”, his nephew said. Yip Jin frowned, “Bruce? That is not a name befitting a Han” he said to his nephew. His Nephew took a long breath and then shrugged. Yip sat in the car fuming. What has his beloved China, turned into?
As the car neared the apartment something caught Yip’s eyes. “You have an Indian servant? ” , he asked his nephew. Yip Yen sighed and then said slowly and clearly, “Uncle that is Shradha, My wife”. Yip felt as if the sky fell to the ground. “What... What? You… a Han, You married a Indian bitch????”, Yip yelled. His nephew looked back at him with ice cold eyes. “Uncle”, he said “This is the new world Uncle accept it or leave. We suffered for all cruelty and wrong you did in the name of racial superiority. We have no time for outdated philosophy and bigoted racial arrogance”. Yip Jin looked at his nephew. In his nephew Yip saw the New China, where he had no place. “Stop the car, Yen”, Yip Jin said after a few long seconds of silence. His nephew brought it to the ground. Jin opened the door and got out. “Uncle-“, his nephew began, but Yip Jin cut him of with a wave of his hand. He then turned and walked
Yip Jin sat with his fellow soldiers as the troop transporter lifted off to Mars. He was Part of the Chinese Contingent that was to hit New Eden, the capital of mars. Augmentation had granted him his youth back. Yip felt happier than usual. He was about to crush some roaches. His thoughts wandered off into the past. As he walked away from his nephew’s air car he had no particular direction in his mind. Something along the road caught his eye. It was a slightly edited Yankee wartime poster. Uncle Sam pointed at him. Under he saw those words- I WANT YOU TO JOIN THE USE ARMY…
Years had passed- approximately Two hundred years. Yip couldn’t believe it. Two hundred Years have passed since he joined the USE army, now the USEA army!! He was now officially 274 years old!!! Augmentation made him look and feel fifty. He looked around him New Nanjing was only recently colonized. Most of the colonists were Chinese. He liked the new assignment. He sat on top of his hover tank and looked up at the sky. His right hand started twitching again. He had lost both his hands during the Voorik civil war. He was one of the few who didn’t respond to ReGen therapy. The PlastaSteel replacements were good... But not as good as the one he was born with.
He searched his inner pocket for something. He looked at the Chinese flag as he took it out. A warm glow filled his heart. Tear drops fell like rain into the red cloth. A cough drew his attention. A man stood in the shadows. “You are Yip Jin, are you not?”, the man asked. Yip frowned, “Who are you?”, Yip asked. The man seemed to smile, “That isn’t important.” , the man said, “But people know me as the Monster Of Wuhan, I have an offer you cannot refuse”. A shaft light fell on the man... The dead eyes and pale skin of the man filled Yip with fear. “What if I chose to refuse?”,Yip Managed to say at last. “Well then……” the man said, “I am always hungry for more human flesh…”
