Dog of War 4 of ?
Don't own em, don't want to. They belong to the very nice
people of Bandi (action satisfaction) and every one else who invested. Don't
feel like swearing in public? E-mail me at Baronben@home.com.
Don't worry, no Yaoi or Yuri in this (I'm not that kind of guy Mr. President).
Though there is a bit of violence in this chapter, so make sure no one is
looking over your shoulder, because I know you're of age to be reading
this.
Wu Fei stared at the gun, his face kept unemotional by a lifetime of harsh training. The words 'mission scrub' ran through his head. "How did this happen?" he demanded of himself "I snuck in through an underused swear drain. I left no trace, no footprint to give me away. I reprogrammed the heat and pressure sensors to ignore me. I left less evidence then a ghost. How? How did she find me?"
Lady Une, still smiling, interrupted his train of thought. "I should kill you now, but you got in here. You may be of some use to me."
Wu Fei ignored her; he was busy reformulating the mission objectives. "Get the gun. Kill her. Kill a guard. Get the gun. Get to the armory. Get eight packs of high impact plastic explosive, detonator switch. Destroy blast doors on way to Treize. Kill Treize. Get to communications room. Broadcast warring pertaining to phase 1 on all public channels. Hold out until out of ammunition. Detonate remaining explosive on self."
Once again, Une interrupted his train of thought "I know what you are thinking, little boy. You want this gun and you want to kill me. You've lost whatever chance you had to complete whatever mission you were on, and believe me I will know what that mission is soon enough, and now you want to get out of here."
Not even his years of training could keep Wu Fei's eyes from widening a bit in surprise. "She's wrong about me wanting to escape, but she guessed by next moves perfectly. Who is this woman?" He thought as he regained his composure.
The flash of fear on Wu Fei's face was all that Une needed to confirm her suspicions. "So, little boy, were you sent to kill me? How were you planning to do it? A shot to the back of the head with that pistol?" Nodding to silenced pistol hanging from his side. "But since you were smart enough to get this far into the base, you must know that the security system is tied to my heart rate. If it stops, the base goes in to lockdown. Of course" she said mockingly, she could see that her bluff had fooled him "you were planning to get the sensors of me and on to you before my heart stopped."
This brought a new look of surprise to his face, but he quickly caught it and returned his face to its unemotional state. "Solders are so easy to control," Lady Une thought, still smiling and holding the gun a foot from Wu Fei's head "just play off their worst fear. In this boy's case that fear is failure."
"But who is this child? He bypassed all our security systems. The cameras, the guards, the heat and pressure sensors, none of them even registered failing! I only knew some one was hear because the door was unlocked. If I didn't lock the door whenever I left my office, if I was a little less perceptive, a tad less paranoid, I would be dead. If the colonies sent down more like this one, OZ is in for some hard times.
With out moving her head, she yelled down the hallway "Hans! Alex! Get in here! Delta 5! Delta 5!"
Two immaculacy dressed solders ran in, their unsure hands groping for their sidearms. Wu Fei sized them up immediately. "There is fear and uncertainty in their eyes. They are honor guards. They've never been faced with something like this before. They haven't fired a gun since basic training."
Out of habit Une turned to face them. "Call house security and tell…"
That instead of distraction was all that Wu Fei needed. Within a second he and drawn his gun and shot both the guards in the head. As their limp and lifeless bodies fell to the ground, he turned his attention to Une, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the spark of a gunshot. He felt the familiar bite of a bullet entering his body. "Damm" he thought "right elbow, my gun arm. She's smart" he though as his right arm went limp, forcing him to drop the gun.
Not that that he was finished fighting. He charged at Une, taking from his left sleeve a hidden dagger. A second shot, this time to his left knee, put him on the ground with Une standing above him, the gun once again aimed at his head.
The ringing in his ear dissipated, he could hear alarm klaxons and the sound of guards coming towards him. "Time for an all or nothing gambit" he thought.
"I destroyed the 7th fleet. There are 4 more like me. I can help you." he cried out.
"Prove it" Une immediately responded.
"Phase 1 of operation meteor entails moving a colony in the L5 sector to the LaGrange point and dropping it on the Earth."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I have my reasons."
Wu Fei's vision was growing black "Nataku, I have failed you more then I could have possibly imagined." "Why did you let me live, only to be captured and killed by OZ? Why did you let a weakling like me survive? He murmured as he passed out.
Lady Une heard this and wondered, "Who is Nataku, and more importantly, who is this boy? He fights with disregard for his own life so that he might save the lives of others, like Treize-samma."
She heard a guard enter "Get a med-team here yesterday!" She snapped at him
"Don't you mean two med-teams, M'lady?" he asked
"No you idiot. They are dead. We need to save this boy."
And yet another To Be Continued…
