Chapter3 : Found
As Dominic got visual on the enemy, he immediately opened fire with his M15A, the newly developed weapon for the Dots. It was deadly accurate.
His first shot hit the farthest enemy in the head and the rest ripped the rest of the enemy's body apart.
"Good shot, Lieutenant." Drew said as he pulled the trigger 3 times in quick bursts.
As the enemy detected their arrival, they quickly started to change strategy.
They gave up chasing the Gekko-go's crew and started to charge at the rag-tag team. Drew's squad quickly dispersed into different directions and each got their own preys. But in a fight, a hunter can be the hunted without knowing so. The 2 battleships in the distance fired their missiles towards the area of the battle. The missiles weren't locked. They flew wherever they pleaded.
Two missiles flew by Dominic as he swirled around a round shaped cloud.
Drew was too far off to have gotten hit. The rest of the team managed on their own with the missiles. Unfortunately, or fortunately for the team,
one of the missiles hit one of it's own. The hit KLF turned into a cloud and nothing more.
"What the hell?" Dominic said as he looked at the falling enemy.
"I guess the captain of those ships aren't very mindful of their soldiers.."
Dot3 said.
"Let's move on." said Drew.
Dominic was being pursued by one LFO that didn't seem to want to let go until he was dead.
"Crap, I can't shake this guy. Can anyone lend a hand here?" he said nervously.
"Hold on Dot2, I'm almost on your 6." finally replied Dot5.
He kept turning left and right, dodging the missiles tailing him. He dropped flares that caused the missiles to break away and fly towards different directions. Even so, the LFO tailing him kept shooting his inaccurate rifle at him. Behind the enemy LFO, a blueish KLF closed in fast as it raised it's own rifle and started to aim.
"Damn it Dot2, I can't get a good shot if you keep swinging around like that." the pilot said as he was impatiently aiming towards the LFO.
"Crap!" Dominic screamed as his KLF was shot in the back.
The damage caused him to lose altitude and he started to drop fast towards the ground. On that moment, Dot5 saw a clear chance to fire. The enemy LFO already saw him on his back and had called for reinforcements. Now, it was a straight line of KLFs and LFOs. On front, Dominic was dropping while tailing him was the enemy LFO with Dot5 who was being fired upon by 2 brown colored LFOs.
"This is crap!" Dot5 said while violently jerking from side to side to dodge the killer lasers passing him.
"Shit!" Dominic screamed out as his KLF was about 200 meters from the ground and dropping at deadly speed.
"This isn't good, I can't die here, not now!" he kept thinking.
"Eject your emergency parachute, Dot2!" a voice screamed through the radio.
Dominic then started to look around with sweat dripping everywhere. It was the easiest button to see. It was square and had a yellowish color, covering it were the words EP, short for Emergency Parachute. He opened the cap over it and slammed the button with his fist. Two small compartments on the back of his KLF then opened up and from each, a wide parachute bloomed out.
It was close, but his KLF landed without crashing to it's death.
"We're in a dead spot right now. I don't think my KLF can take any more damage, captain" Dot5 said.
His KLF was actually being torn down. It's back was shot 2 times while behind it's arm, they had holes everywhere. Fortunately, they kept moving but were soon to fall off or even blow up.
"Break away from the line." the captain ordered as his KLF could be seen dropping from the sky. Dot5's boosters lit up as it started to gain altitude.
The captain's rifle fired all his bullets towards the remaining LFOs. They each got torn to pieces with the amount of bullets piercing through their metallic body.
"Thanks, captain." Dot5 said while panting.
"No problem, next time, make sure you aren't being tailed if you're going to help." he advised the pilot.
"Right."
"Squad, return to base, those who can still go on, provide some protection for the hangars, but don't get carried away."
"The rest should resupply or get some repairs" he said as he looked at Dot5.
"Copy that" the squad said as they flew towards the hangar.
The Gekko-go and Super Izumo were still engaging the enemy battleships.
One of the enemy ships was about to crash land while the other was still firing towards Jurgen's ship. It got hit on one of the engines while trying to avoid the missiles.
" An opening!" said Ken-Goh as he fired of the main cannons towards it.
The enemy didn't have enough time to avoid it and was hit directly in the bow.
"Jurgen's here, we're fine, but we need to land now."
"Alright, that was the last of them anyways." Talho responded.
The two ships started to turn back to where they departed from.
Back at the facility, the survivors were rounding up the dead bodies and were tending to the injured. Fires were being put out and anything that could be salvaged was put aside, the rest were thrown to be recycle or disposed of.
While everyone was working, something ominous and dark was approaching the area.
In another area, a battle waged between two sides with different political views.
"Shit, I'm goin-" the voice was interrupted by loud static as a KLF was completely taken apart.
"Jon!" screamed Jake.
A different model of the usual KLF's appeared behind him at incredible speed.
"Crap" he said as he swerved to the left, dodging incoming bullets.
"Where is he?" he thought to himself. The KLF had completely vanished from his sights and radar. From out of nowhere, a beam shot across his right arm, destroying his main rifle.
"Where did it come from?" he thought as the enemy was approaching from behind, with a new melee weapon.
"No..." he said to himself, as he slowly turned around. Everything seemed in slow motion. His life seconds away from being taken, that weapon about to cut him to pieces. All of a sudden, a light burst, the enemy that was in front of him was now behind. They both turned, all confused by what had happen just now. As the enemy was getting ready for another strike, multiple bullets came from behind Jake. The enemy had no choice but to retreat.
"You alright Private?" said a voice beyond Jake's reach as he was thinking of what had happen.
"What happen... I was supposed to die..." he thought.
"Private!"
He was startled by the sudden yell.
"Oh, euh.. Yes?"
A sigh emitted through his communications.
"Don't go wandering off like that, you could've died just now"
"Yes, captain, please excuse my recklessness."
"Anyways, the left flank needs some support, here's a gun. You should have no problem seeing you only lost an arm."
"Thank you sir." he said as his KLF parted to his next objective.
He took aim and fired a burst at an incoming enemy which blew to pieces as Jake flew around it, another enemy appeared. He slammed his board on its front, sending it flying backwards as he fired a few bullets to finish him off.
"Private! We need some help here, we're being outnumbered!" a voice screamed in despair through his speakers.
"Got it, I'll be there in about a minute." he answered.
His radar picked up a few missiles headed for him, he released flares to confuse them, but 2 were still following him. He then made his way to the area he was asked for help. He fired a long burst of bullets, hitting a few KLFs that were grouped up, as he passed by them overhead, the 2 missiles slammed into them instead. He then turned around and quickly flew towards another 3man squad, and fired upon them while they were distracted by his comrades. But his luck ran out here, he was being targeted now. A few KLF's broke rank and started chasing him. He had no problem dodging them, it was almost too easy for him. But soon, he had the feeling he had to lose them. As he flew by a few clouds, still being chased and fired upon, the reinforcements they were waiting for finally arrived. A dozen KLFs were sent down towards the fighting area. The 3KLFs following him were obliterated.
The enemy was quickly outflanked and outnumbered. Resulting in their defeat. Outstandingly, he performed better than any other KLF pilots on this battlefield. Sadly, many lives were lost, all to the cause of different political views.
Signal flares were shot by only one side to retreat, the other side started to raid on the city.
"What?" yelled Holland furiously.
"What do you mean Bungan was attacked?" he asked through the radio.
"Reports are coming in that an unknown force is raiding through the city." answered Morita.
"At a time like this..."
"The Gekko is still functional, so we're able to head over there with no problem." said Jobs.
After a moment of thinking, Holland finally spoke.
" The Super-Izumo will stay here and defend the facility while the Gekko will head to Bungan to help the civilians." he said.
" Got it, I'll tell Jurgens for you." said Morita as he the communications was cut off.
" Everyone, we're ending to Bungan, prep the LFO's for battle and make sure we're resupplied." he ordered.
" Yes sir!" answered everyone has they started to work on their tasks.
" Are you sure about this, Holland?" asked Talho as she overheard the conversation between him and Morita.
"Yeah, I'm not letting another tragedy happen again." he said, referring to his past.
"Jake, you're ordered back to the Dust, you'll be getting repairs and head out with a support team." ordered an officer aboard the ship.
" Copy that" he said as he destroyed an anti-air turret.
His KLF flew up and towards a gray ship that was smaller than most battleships.
A door slid open to reveal a small hangar capable of carrying about 3 KLFs. His KLF then landed in the middle where engineers were ready to repair the damage.
His cockpit opened as he could finally breath fresh air. He quickly got off as the engineers were starting to get pushy to get the repairs done.
"Sheesh, don't need to be so rude.." he murmured to himself as he walked to the bridge.
The door slid open and he stepped in quietly as the door closed behind. The officers were doing their tasks while reporting to the Captain.
" Private Jake Lehens reporting in, Sir!" he said formaly.
The Captain nodded and looked him head to toe, as if looking for something in him.
Jake himself was confused.
The Captain was a tall man, but not so tall as to being imposing, he had beard that fit him. To Jake's eyes, he looked like an experienced captain who knew what he was doing.
" So you managed to survive even though you were one arm short, is that correct?" the captain asked.
" Yes,Sir." he answered.
" You're very young, only one year of experience being a pilot, yet you looked like an ace out there. Keep up your good work, you've brought honor to this ship, son."
Jake suddenly felt like what he did earlier was something to feel proud of. Having a captain tell him that was something he'd never expect.
" Thank you sir!" he replied with enthusiasm this time.
As he left the room, he wondered if the captain ordered him to the bridge just to tell him that. But he didn't have time to day-dream, his KLF was ready for battle again.
" This boy has it in him... he's going to survive."
Nirvach was in a nice field of tall grass that spread all over the place. A pile of wood was gathered at the same spot.
"Let's go see what's over there..." said Renton as he moved Nirvach slowly.
On his screen, it zoomed in on the pile of debris.
" There's nothing here" said Eureka as she looked around the area.
And then it hit him, like a rock to the face, he realized what this place was.
" Will..." he murmured.
"What?" asked Eureka.
" Oh, nothing, we should get moving." he answered.
Nirvach sped across the area to find a road that led to a nearby city, Bungan. It was still a long ride before they would reach it.
" We're almost gonna get back to the Gekko-go now. " Renton said cheerfully.
" Yeah, almost. " Eureka said as she looked at the city growing larger.
" Hap! Get me a visual on the current situation, I want every little detail. " Holland ordered.
" Hilda, make sure the LFOs are ready for launch."
" We're ready to go." said Hilda with a smile.
" The Gekko-go will stay behind while all LFOs will launch and take out any enemy they can encounter in the city. A squad of KLFs from the facility will come and help us as soon as they're ready. Until then, hold out as long as you can." he said.
" We've got visual, Holland." said Hap.
The city was in chaos, KLFs were on a rampage, shooting at anything that moved. But they only managed to get to the border of the city. They didn't get into the center of it. The last line of defense was still holding, but barely.
As soon as they were close to the city they began their operation.
"808, launching." said Hilda as she was thrown off the ship with the propelling system.
" Hey Stoner, you sure you want to come? It could be dangerous." asked Matthieu as he was ready to launch.
" Of course, art has it's risk you know." he replied.
"Whatever, don't be blaming me if something happens." Matthieu said as the 606 launched right next to the 808.
" 303 here, Talho, make sure you guys keep out of range." Holland said.
" We know, we know. Just be careful out there." she replied.
As Holland launched, the 3 LFO's started heading down to the battlefield.
Jake was still pushing through the defenses with his squad as he noticed three objects heading towards the city at incredible speed.
" Enemy reinforcements?" he thought.
" Sally, can you check those three unknown objects up there?" he asked.
" Damn I can't, there's too much interference." she said.
As Holland, Hilda and Matthieu reached the ground, they each took separate ways.
Hilda was heading towards the east side while Matthieu went towards the west side with Holland charging in through the middle.
One KLF defending the city, was pinned down by a squad of KLFs shooting at him. He was taking cover behind a small building, but he couldn't hold out much longer. Just as he was going to make a last stand, an orange LFO appeared out of nowhere in a flash. Matthieu shot each KLF with a few bullets and made his way towards the enemy territory.
" Hey, could you angle yourself a little more to the right, so that I can catch some nice photos?" asked Stoner.
" Are you crazy! I'm trying to not get us killed here and all you think of are your damn pictures?" Matthieu yelled out as he jumped off his board while knocking off an enemy KLF that was blocking his path.
" Oh, I just got a nice shot. " Stoner said with a small laughter.
" Just shut up!" he screamed while looking desperate.
Matthieu finally reached the point where he was going to be taking cover while returning fire to the enemy. There were so many of them that he could barely take a shot.
" Guess I'm not gonna doing anything else for a while..." he said to himself.
Hilda was still on her board as she was taking aim at several KLFs.
She shot one right in the chest, which started to melt and finally exploded.
Two other KLFs were rushing her position, but she wasn't going to let them get close to her.
