Not that Hoyt was proud of the fact that she had become something he never had wanted her to become, but it's were she was and it's what she need to do and Hoyt knew that better than anyone.
"See you got it." Diamond said from behind him.
"I learned from the best." He smiled and once again, gave his angel a kiss.
Saphira's POV
I don't know how I knew that guy was behind me, but thank god I did. There were at least 2 maybe 3 dozen bodies in the courtyard.
"Well, that was fucking rude. We were having a party!" The pirates cheered and laughed at her joke. "The warriors who lost their lives are honored by many now. They will not die in vein!" The Rakyat roared at her comment as they decided tomorrow was the time to start phase 1.
The next day, was a very early day as we prepaired for the battle we were about to go into full force. Vaas knew we were coming and there was no way I was backing out. I wanted to assure the Rakyat that they could as I gathered them up in the courtyard to give them one chance to leave if they wanted to.
"Today will not be easy. My presence on this Island has been pretty loud, so this will not be an ambush, but a war. They are expecting us so if you want to take this chance to leave then you may. If you choose to stay, just know, once we start…we don't stop till Vaas Montenegro is DEAD!" I saw no warriors leave, but all of them roared once again as they armed themselves up as much as possible.
We first have to steak out and execute the pirates hidden around the coupound by splitting up into four groups that staked out each side of the coupound. I would be on the east side of the compound with my group; we all had radios on a very low volume. So low we could barely hear it and would only use it if we needed to. We approached up and saw two pirates beating a Native woman. I took out the pirates and let the woman go.
I slowly went forward to see where his reinforcments were. I saw a sniper in the tower, two dogs and two more pirates pacing back and fourth. I went back and told the translater where they were as we made contact with the other groups. Everyone had staked out the postions of the pirates and proceeded to assaigned postions to silently take them out. We had more trouble doing so because of the dogs, I took out my silence sniper and took out theirs. We were okay as I found one of the dogs and trained my scope on it. the second dog was directly behind it so if I did this right I get both dogs. I gave a nod for the others to get into position to take out the two pirates I could get. I gave a nod and the interpreter told the other groups to go.
The plan was a go once I took out the dogs, then the two pirates went down with out a problem. I was hoping I didn't hear gunshots from the other sides of the compound before I heard anything over the radio. Luckily, I heard nothing before the others checked in and said success.
Hoyt's POV
I had no idea how Saphira could pull this off, but she did as all the pirates were surrounding the compound were taken out without a sound.
"Pawns are down, go in for Rooks." Saphira had said as the man beside her translated into the radio.
It was just like a chess game, and that's how Saphira layed out her plan. As a chess game, the snipers were the rooks, The knights the cars with mounted guns on them and the queen was the grounded pirates. I didn't know how to feel about this plan. Diamond held my hand as we both hoped and prayed that she made it through alive.
"Ready?" Diamond asked me as we waited to be here for Saphira when she needed us.
"Yeah, I'm ready."
Saphira's POV
"Pawns are down, go in for Rooks." As I said that, once again, I felt somebody watching me and I couldn't shake it either. Who is watching me? Is it dad? As I'm thinking one of the warriors asks something, I couldn't understand but he pointed to the cliff. "Oh, sorry." I started to climb the hill to get a vantage point on one of Vaas' snipers. I reached the top and saw 3 others with their snipers at the ready. I fixed mine on the final sniper and ordered them to shoot. The snipers went down, and none of the ground troops seemed to notice, as they were all either drunk or high. "Rooks are down."
I decended down the hill and we made our way over to the next position of the compound. The walls had holes in the bottem of the fences large enough for us to sneak under. Once we were in, we trained our guns on the Knights, or the mounted guns and once we shot them, it was going to get hectic. We disconnected the alarms to buy us time then I counted down quietly. The Rakyat had learnded that 321 then go meant, shoot.
"3…2…1…GO!" I wasn't quiet as I didn't need to be anymore and shot the mounted guns. The area filled with loud explosions as gunshots sounded through the area and pirates began to fall as our snipers took them out one by one. On top of that, our ground troops taking out reinforcments and stations pirates. I saw a tiger in a cage and snuck over. It was postions behind at least 5 pirates and when I released that tiger, It targeted them and mauled them one by one.
Vaas' POV
I was just minding my own buisness in my office, when I looked out the window to find something interesting. Those filthy savages closing in on my compound and Hoyt's bitch daughter leading them. I left the office and set up C4 outside the main door of the comound and closed the door to my office. It was just 5 minutes later, gunshots filled the compound and the animals were out of their cages mauling my men. I waited and watched the security camera feed to see when that bitch entered the door. She killed multiple people along the way before running into my trap. When she ran through those doors, I blew up the front door.
Hoyt's POV
I knew when she let the tiger free, that Vaas was watching. I decided to go to my old office and see what he's doing. I ran to find Vaas setting C4 outside the door. I knew it couldn't be good, if she ran through that door, she wouldn survive the blast.
"Diamond, how do I deflect this?"
"Think about her surviving the blast, she will if we both do it. Hold my hand." I held her hand hoping it would help. She had to survive, she has to finish this.
We sat there in wait, hoping that Saphira knew what was coming and didn't need our help but she fell for it and ran strait for the door. I did as Diamond did and thought about her surviving the blast and focused all of my energy into it.
Saphira was knocked out from the blast but we were able to cause one of the C4 blocks to be defective and therefor, she survived the blast.
"Thank god, she's alive." Diamond hugged Hoyt and watched as Vaas came down the stairs with a gun.
"There is nothing we can do now, Saphira has to finish this." Diamond squeezed my hand harder.
Saphira's POV
I came to and found him, the man who murdered my mother, standing there with a gun to my head.
"Vaas." I said to him in a disgusted tone.
"Ah, your old man remembered me huh hermana." His voice disgusted me as I knocked the gun out of his hand using a move that Hoyt had taught me. I got up and took out my knife. He turned around and started to walk upstairs. He walked into an office that had a view of the north side of the compound. He sat down in his chair, wait, not his chair. My dads chair.
"That's not your desk." I snapped at him.
"It has been for the last 18 years, since your traitor father left. All of his things are mine now and soon you will join my collection. I can think of a lot of things I could do to you on this desk, none are pleasant." He pulled out a knife from the drawer. "Did you honestly think that I didn't see this coming?"
"Nope, I knew that you were prepared which made this so easy." I said mocking him.
"I assumed your father taught you how to use that." He said pointing to the knife.
"I knew how to kill you once I was born. You're mine motherfucker." I said as I lunged at his somach and he blocked. He then tried to slice my chest when I deflected his blade and repeated on him. I cut through his shirt and sliced his chest.
"You bitch!" He lunged at me, I dodged and punched his nose. He fell to the ground and swiped my legs causing me to fall on my back and lose my knife. I he tried to stab my chest and I rolled to the left and grabbed my knife, we both were in out defense stance again. "How is dear old dad? Still a rapist?" As he finished his senctence and leaned onto his front foot he swiped horizontally towards my stomach, cutting through my shirt and causing me to loose my holster.
"Fuck you." I kicked his ankles and went to stab directly through his neck when he blocked my hand and held it there. I dropped the knife from one hand into another and stabbed his abdomen, then took his knife and slit his throat. He fell to the ground, lifeless. He was dead.
Hoyt's POV
She did it, she had taken out Vaas. I hadn't realised that my training would actually be used in her lifetime, I had hoped it wouldn't. I looked to Diamond and embraced her presence.
"She did it." Hoyt told Diamond.
"Yes, she did."
"Will she be taking over the buisness? I hope not." Hoyt shrugged and frowned.
"I hope not as well, I told her never to return. I had hoped to go back though because I left-" I trailed off remembering that I wanted to return for one reason. I had hid a photo of me and Diamond in the bottem drawer of my desk.
"Hoyt?" Diamond wanted me to answer but instead I looked at my desk in the corner.
"I left behind the very first photo we ever took and one of the only two we ever took."
"Saphira could have it forever." Diamond said with a smile as Hoyt knew what she meant by it. I started to think about the photo hoping that Saphira would pick up on it. Next thing I knew she was walking towards the desk.
Saphira's POV
I did it, I killed him and avenged my parents. I looked at his life less body and smiled. The gunshots had stopped and the Rakyat had been victorious. As I was about to leave the room, I got an image of a photograph in a draw and went over to the desk in the corner. I went through all the drawers and found a hidden compartment; I lifted the bottem and found a somewhat large photograph of my mom and dad. When I saw it I began to cry, I knew my dad had led me to this, He was watching over me.
"Thank you, dad." I said to myself as I held the black and white photograph. When I did, I got the chills on my shoulder and only my shoulder. Was he touching my shoulder? Is he here. Before I could ask, the feeling disapeared along with the one of somebody watching me. I knew he had moved on and he was gone.
I went out the door to congradulate the Rakyat on their victory. When the saw me they cheered and shot their guns in the air. They knew that it was over, the Island once again belonged to the Rakyat people.
"Once again, this island is yours; make sure it stays that way. I must go back home, thank you for everything and helping me move on." Once the translator said it they began to bow. "Please, don't bow, I did nothing. It was YOU. Appriciate yourselves, not me." The warriors got to their feet.
I got into a jeep and made my way to the airport, the same airport my father escaped the Island from. I am now leaving, with a souvenier, to go back home. I arrived at the airport and my pilot was there and ready to go.
"Let's go Riley." Riley smiled and started the plane. We began to fly when I looked down and saw hundreds of Rakyat people cheering me on. I couldn't believe what I had done, but I was glad I did. I took out the photo and held my dads ring on my neck. "I love you, mom and dad." I said quietly to myself as I flew home.
10 years later
"Hoyt! Breakfest is ready!" My 9 year old son came rushing down the stairs followed by my husband. I kissed both of them.
"Good morning, Mrs. Volker." I had kept my name when we got married. I just felt it wasn't right to change my name and Jack always made fun of me for it.
"Good morning, Mr. Brody." I had married Liza and Jason Brody's son, Jeremy. They had him about 1 year after me, so I always made fun of him for being younger than me when he made fun of my name.
I had a loving husband, a son and parents who I know were always watching over me. After rook Island, I was living…Happily Ever After.
THE END
I know this was kinda short, but I really wanted to make a sequel.
Thanks for reading.
