The Last Laugh



The Last Laugh is a chapter in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away. In this chapter, after mastering the Coalition of the Red Star on every turn, the Rah-Rah-Robot and the forces of the Grand Alliance prepares to face the final target in the siege of Kassala: a target that refuses to fall, which is Abasi Hakim and his own Rah-Rah-Robot copycat.

This chapter is also where this mission would be the final test of the Rah-Rah-Robot's true heroism, bravery and courage, and according to Gen. Diana Lorrington, she never saw any one of those mecha pilots quit, and she doesn't expect she ever will.

At the end of the chapter, Ralphie Tennelli says that the siege is over, thinks to himself that once the Nile River Coalition is, once a mighty force, crumbling around the Grand Alliance, and is because of the tenacity, the skill and the guts of the Rah-Rah-Robot and her crew members that America and the rest of the Grand Alliance triumphed, and acknowledged that the dedication and supreme sacrifice exhibited by these mecha pilots and soldiers makes him proud and honored to be a mecha pilot and a pilot of the Rah-Rah-Robot.
