Unforgotten Past
Chapter 14: Mission Failed?

"5 minutes left," Kowalski said. "They need to be fast..,"

Blowhole smiled on his vehicle. Skipper stood silently on the middle of the bridge. Blowhole moved quickly towards Skipper and punched him. Skipper dodged and kicked back. Then he punched his face rapidly, but Blowhole could parry them all.

"You know, Skipper," said Blowhole. "You're no a leader,"

"Shut up, mammal," said Skipper.

He turned around and elbowed Blowhole. Blowhole dodged and caught Skipper's flipper, and threw him away. Skipper fell to the ground and rolled away to stand up again.

"It's all because of you," said Blowhole again. "See? Under your command, your comrades are dead now,"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" said Skipper.

Skipper slided towards Blowhole and swung his flipper, kicked him, and punched him. Again, Blowhole could parry his attack.

"You and your brother has no different," Blowhole said. "Stupid. Both of you,"

"I'll tear your mouth apart!" said Skipper.

He punched rapidly again, in rage. Blowhole smiled and parried them all, then he swept Skipper's feet. He fell again.

"It's fun to play someone's emotion," Blowhole laughed.

Skipper got on his feet again. He stared his enemy in anger.

"You'll regret everything you've done," said Skipper.

"You can do nothing," Blowhole replied. "It's easy to talk, but can you prove it?"

"Certainly,"

Skipper waddled carefully towards Blowhole. Blowhole laughed and moved his vehicle quickly towards Skipper. Skipper dodged and elbowed him. Blowhole parried it and turned around to face his enemy. They looked each other's eyes. Blowhole hit Skipper's face, then he punched his stomach, and elbowed his face again. Skipper coughed blood and shook his head.

"Why? Too fast for you?" Blowhole said.

"Do it again if you can,"

Blowhole punched, Skipper dodged and hit Blowhole's face. And then he punched

Blowhole's stomach, and quickly kicked him. But Blowhole parried it.

"Your rapid attack is useless here," said Blowhole. "I'll show you mine,"

Blowhole punched quickly Skipper's face. He dodged, but Blowhole quickly hit his stomach, punched his face twice, and hit his stomach again.

Skipper smiled and immediately caught Blowhole's flipper and smacked him to the ground.

"I was waiting for the best moment," said Skipper.

Skipper kicked Blowhole, Blowhole parried it and swept Skipper's feet. But Skipper fell by elbowed his face. Skipper stood up again, while Blowhole was suffering because his robotic eye got hit.

"See?" Skipper said.

Kowalski stared the remote. And he took a deep breath.

"Order is order. I have to do this," said him. "They know what are they doing. They can save themselves,"

He closed his eyes. And with a drop of tear, he pushed the red button.

They heard a big explotion. The building was shaking and starting to collapse. Broken pieces of the ceiling were falling to the ground.

"What have you done to my base?" Blowhole said.
"Nothing much. Let's die together here," said Skipper.

A piece of the fracture fell towards Skipper's head. He dodged, and Blowhole took the chance to swept his feet. Skipper fell, and Blowhole immediately crawled back to his vehicle.

"It's your time to die, but not mine," said Blowhole.

He moved to a secret door at the wall. Skipper slided to catch him, but another fracture fell and closed his way. He jumped above it and slided between the ruins, but the door already closed when he arrived.

"NO! YOU COWARD! GET BACK HERE AND FINISH OUR PROBLEM!" he cried. "No... I can't lose him... I can't... Get back here!"

A big fracture fell and hit him. His head wounded badly, and his sight became blur. He remembered about his team, and Private. He tried to get up, but he didn't able to move a muscle.

"I'm failed... I'm so sorry, boys... I'm sorry... Private," he whispered.

Half conscious, he heard another kaboom. And then a shadow lifted him.

The sun light was disappeared, blocked by smokes and dark clouds. Kowalski freeze on his place. The base was fully destroyed, flat with the ground. And he was alone. No sign of his comrades. He quickly slided through the ruins in the silent, wished he will hear at least a small breath of his friends.

Suddenly a small explotion surprised him. He slided towards it. Rico, with a sorrowful face, climbed up from the hole made by the explotion.

"Thanks God you're alive," Kowalski said.
"Help me," said Rico.

Kowalski arrived and saw an iron large box inside the hole. With an unconscious Skipper and... death bodies of Johnson and Manfredie inside it.

"Oh no... I'm really sorry about them, Rico... I'm so sorry," said Kowalski.

"Not your fault," Rico grunted. He didn't cry. But his face was really filled with sadness. And guilty. "I was - too slow... If I was - faster... My fault,"

They lifted their friends to the surface. While the dark clouds slowly began to let down their water heavily.
