Mission 5 - Unexpected Help, a Brilliant Rescue!
"Look!" Nell pointed towards the sea.
A small grouping of red-painted landers and cruisers were on the sea.
"Look, look, look!" Nell cried.
"We get the picture!" Max shouted.
"Ah, it's about time they showed up..." Ryuu smiled. "Comeon, let's get down there..."
The three fighters shot towards the landers, as Gairyio's fighter units peeked out from the clouds.
The whirring of the motors of the fighters soon was gone, replaced by the sounds of the motors of the landers, moving at high speeds to get to Orange Star.
Nell stepped out of her Lander, and looked at the man sitting on the side of the boat. "Commander Hachi!! How good to see you!"
Hachi smiled. "Ah, the others... But weren't there more of you?"
"Yeah... Umm..." Nell sighed, as Max and Ryuu stepped out of their fighters, finally. Ryuu tossed off his goggles, and caught sight of Hachi.
Almost instantly, Ryuu bowed low. "Former Commander Hachi, it is an honor to meet you!"
"Ah, don't be so rigged stiff!" Hachi laughed. "Comeon, boy, relax a bit... They're in the air, they're not made for sea combat..."
"I still don't believe we're totally safe..." Ryuu tried to call out, but Max walked right by him.
"Well, shall we go to the command room then?" Max asked.
"Sure, why not..." Hachi smiled, walking towards the front of the boat, where a small house-sized structure awaited.
"Why is it Landers are equipped with such big control rooms?" Max wondered, as he walked in. Nell and Ryuu followed.
"Commanders!" one of the soldiers stood at attention, saluting.
"Quiet down there, sonny! You're as stiff as Colin!" Hachi looked at him.
"Alright, sir!" the soldier dropped the salute, but still was a bit stiff.
"Well, he'll just take a bit of work..." Hachi laughed. "Would you like some tea?"
"Nah. Got any booze?" Max started to ask, but Nell clapped her hand over his mouth.
"Sure, we'd LOVE to have some tea, wouldn't we, Max?" she looked at him, a smile on her face.
"Ri... Right!" Max changed his mind.
Hachi snapped his fingers, and a young servant boy came in, with a plate and several cups of tea.
"'Ere you go, Monsieur Hachi! Oh... 'Allo, Monsieurs and Madames..." the boy smiled, running off.
"Who was that kid?" Nell asked.
"My grandson!" Hachi smiled, sitting down at a table. Max sat beside him on one side, Ryuu on the other, and Nell right across the room.
"Funny, he looked just like Colin..." Ryuu wondered out loud.
Max blinked. "But... You don't look that old!"
"Oh, you'd be amazed! I'm as old as Sensei, actually!" Hachi grinned.
"..." Max gaped.
"Oh, shush up!" Hachi smacked him playfully across the head. "Good boy."
"Right you are..." Max smacked Hachi on the back.
Hachi spat, his tea flying right across the room, and splattering on Nell's purple dress.
Nell's eyes narrowed. She stood up, cracking her knuckles.
"It was all his fault!" Hachi quickly pointed to Max.
"No no no! SORRY!" Max screamed.
*WHAP* *POW*
"All better!" Nell smiled. Max was out cold on the floor.
Nell grabbed her teacup, and took a sip.
*THUD*
*SPLASH*
"AAAAAAAARGH!" Nell screamed, as he teacup had spilled more on her.
"Enemy subs are firing at us, Hachi! They've dived, so we couldn't see them!" a soldier ran in.
"Bastards..." Hachi growled. "Oh well. Ready the... Wait. Did we bring any Cruisers?"
"N... No..." the soldier said meekly.
"Oh, crud..." Hachi sighed. "Can we outrun them?"
"I should hope, their fuel ratings are low... In fact, by my calculations, they've been out for several hours - They should sink any time now... I'm worried about the fact..."
"Then let's run, damn you!" Ryuu shouted out his first order.
"Right!"
"Don't you mean, Retreat?" Nell asked.
"They're the same thing..." Ryuu responded.
"True" Nell shrugged.
Another blast rocked the ship. The three ran outside, leaving the unconcious Max on the ground.
A monitor came out of the ship's deck and came up in front of them, turning itself on. Gairyio's face was there.
"Who's this kid?" Hachi asked.
"I'm not a kid!" Gairyio cursed something. "Listen, old-timer! I'm going to take you down. Any last words? Perhaps... A surrender?"
"You know your army's fuel is about to run out?" Hachi asked.
"Not a chance!" Gairyio smiled.
"But it's true! They'll run out in..." Nell thought. "Intel report, anyone?"
The same soldier came back, holding a piece of paper.
"Ah, thank you..." Nell smiled. "Ah! They will sink in 5 minutes... IF they're not moving!"
"Oh! Really...?" Gairyio laughed. "CO Power, Activate! Restock!"
There was a brilliant flash from one of the fighters in the air.
The soldier ran back. "I think it's an error, Nell, but..."
Nell grabbed the new paper. "WHAT!? They've been fully stocked... We're never going to be able to outrun them!"
"Well, then we'll just have to hold off..." Ryuu gulped.
"Incoming torpedo!" Hachi's grandson called out.
"I don't think we can take this hit..." Hachi muttered.
"I'm taking control of this vessel!" Ryuu cried out. There was a slight shift in the coloring of the lander. "For a moment, so I can..."
"CO Power, Battle Shield!" Ryuu shouted. Another brilliant flash, and the lander was covered in a silver material.
The Torpedo blasts barely shook the ship.
"Woah!" Nell smiled.
"The problem is, now that this thing has higher defense... Well... I've never been good with speed, and..." Ryuu admitted.
"Oh..." Nell's head fell onto the monitor.
"Well, then, we can keep this fight up longer then you can! You'll never be able to beat us!" Gairyio laughed.
There was an explosion from in the water.
"Ahoy, maties!" Drake's mug appeared on the monitor.
"Drake!" Nell smiled.
"Ah, just in time..." Hachi grinned. "Nice to see you!"
"Who's this fatso?" Gairyio's image turned to face the hologram Drake.
"Fatso? I'm only pleasently plump!" Drake turned to face Gairyio's hologram.
"Now, now, boys... There's no need to..." Nell tried to calm them down.
"Come here, you useless flounder!" Drake dived for Gairyio.
"Funny how you're on the seas, I thought you'd sink your ship when it's carrying your weight!" Gairyio stuck his tounge out.
"You spiny urchin!"
"Anchor!"
"Green Trunks!"
"STOP THAT!!!" Nell screamed.
The two froze. "Sorry!" Drake called out, as Gairyio's image dissapeared.
"Comeon, let's keep moving..." Ryuu smiled.
"Right..." Drake grinned. "I'll take care of things! Subs, Cruisers, and Battleships!" His face faded out.
"YAY!" Hachi's grandson was at the front of the boat, pointing to the many green-tinted units on the horizon.
Suddenly, Nell felt a drop of rain on her head.
Max walked out of the cabin. "Have I missed much? Oh... It's raining..."
"Wait!" Nell shouted to the monitor. "PLEASE don't use Tsunami, Drake!"
There was a brilliant flash from one of the landers.
A huge wave shot out.
The Orange Star Lander flipped on the wave, sending it's people down into the water.
