Chapter 13: Operation: Fuel Air

[Link's POV]

[Naval fleet 4:15am]

"Link, Link"

"Mmm, a few more minutes Tetra," I whispered keeping my eyes shut.

I felt myself get shoved on the ground as Tetra started to giggle. I removed the cover off blankets from over my head and looked at Tetra, still tired.

"Tetra, why did you do that?" I asked tired.

"Sorry Link, but Granger wants all of us on the bridge," She replied as she went to change.

I picked myself off the floor and started to change. After I was through, I sat down in a chair and waited for Tetra. She came out in her normal pirate outfit.

"Well, let's go," I said as she followed me into the hallway and into the elevator.

We reached the bridge and got out of the elevator. The others were already awake and the generals were talking near the Captain's seat. I looked outside to see it was still dark and light started to show on the horizon.

"So what did you want us for?" Terra asked.

"Well, we're running off schedule, we had to make a stop because one of the aircraft carriers hit a rock spire that was hidden underwater," Granger replied.

"We'll be there momentarily though," Alexis added.

"But for now, you guys just sit back and relax," Tao said as he sat back and the chair gave way.

"Yah, and make sure your chair is safe," Naval ace said grinning at Tao.

I sat down and watched the sunlight slowly appear. Tetra was sitting next to me, and she was also looking at the sunlight. Aryll was sleeping on Grandma's lap, and Komali and Medli were talking, maybe even flirting again. The pirates found a table and started to gamble, and Makar was making sure no one cheated. Adrian, Terra and Tengra were talking to each other near the pirates, probably about who had the best magic spell.

"Hehe, two pair...Ace is high," Zuko said as all the pirates groaned and threw their cards on the table.

"Well, morning has come," Tetra said as the sun rose above the horizon.

"All ships, when we reach the bombardment point, get into formation and wait for the order to fire," Naval Ace said over the intercom.

"All Aircraft, await the order to launch from the aircraft carriers, and all transport aircraft, await orders to launch from the airfield," Granger added.

'Yes sirs' echoed out of the intercom as Naval ace looked ahead with a straight face. A lot of us noticed it too.

"Naval Ace, what's the matter," I asked.

He looked at me and pointed towards the sea up ahead. There were lots of dark ovals ahead. They were still far away, but clearly visible.

"What are those?" Gonzo asked confused at the shadows.

Naval Ace sat back with an irritated look and replied, "Boomber Submarines."



[Magenta Stream 5:35]

"Yuri, the Boomber subs have reached the isle. They moved underwater to attract no attention from the locals," the soldier stated.

"Good," Yuri said sitting back.

"Soon it will be over for those countries," he thought outloud.

The intercom in the room sounded off and Yuri looked at it. Ganondorf, Maelstrom and Sturm looked at the soldier as he turned the intercom on.

"This is Command Center."

"This is Boomber Sub Nortan's Captain Mingsk Kommar, We have spotted a Large Scale Golden Flames fleet. There are a lot of Destroyers, cruisers and battleships, so we cannot approach," The captain replied.

"What!? An attack fleet!?" Ganondorf bellowed.

"Please Calm down Ganondorf," Yuri said calmly, "You have orders to terminate this threat. Use the cruise missiles as your advantage."

"But Commander Yuri, we are in range of their battleships, and if we surface, our fleets will take massive damage!" The captain stated.

"Do it," Yuri said, still calm.

"As you wish, Commander Yuri," the captain said as radio communication was cut off.

"Even if those subs are destroyed, one cruise missile is enough to destroy one of their ships," Yuri reassured Ganondorf. It worked and Ganondorf grinned just like Yuri was.

"Besides, if that fails, there's something else that could destroy them," Yuri said grinning.



[Boomber Sub Nortan 5:45am]

"All subs, surface and fire your cruise missiles at the oncoming fleet! This is a direct order from Commander Yuri himself!" Mingsk yelled as'sir' echoed over the intercom.

A soldier dropped the switch and the sub started to rise as the water emptied out of the tanks. The subs reached the surface and were met by a hail storm of shells. The battleships were already firing at them.

"Launch the missiles quick!" yelled Mingsk as another soldier quickly ordered the crew in the sub itself to arm the missiles.

"Sir! We're losing subs fast!" a soldier said as a Boomber Sub exploded next to theirs sending debris flying in all directions.

"Arm the torpedoes! We have to fight back!" he yelled back.

Down below, four soldiers quickly loaded the torpedoes into the tubes. They locked them and radioed back.

"Sir, the torpedoes are loaded!" the soldier yelled as the sub shook from a nearby explosion.

"Then Fire!" Mingsk yelled as the torpedoes shot out of the tubes.

The four torpedoes quickly shot out of the tubes. They rushed through the water towards the fleet.

"Come on, Come on, and don't run out of gas!" Minsk yelled knowing the torpedoes could go off course.

The torpedoes zoomed straight for a destroyer. The crew and Mingsk watched in glee as the Destroyer exploded in flames. The flaming debris hit nearby ships causing them to catch fire. All throughout the fleet, torpedoes flew through the water towards the allied ships. Other ships blew up as torpedoes rammed into their hulls.

"Alright! The missiles are loaded!" The soldier yelled.

"FIRE!" He replied.

The missile deck on top flew open as eight missiles flew out of the top. They zoomed into the sky and straight towards the fleet. The other remaining subs also fired their Cruise missiles. The missiles flew at the ships and destroyed some. Most of the missiles missed because of the rush to fire them. The Nortan's missile was carefully aimed and hit an aircraft carrier. The planes exploded on top as the missile penetrated the deck due to the speed of the missile on its way down. It exploded inside the ship and the ship exploded in flames, only destroyed wreckage remained.

"Alright boys, we sunk some good shots in! Keep Firing! For Yuri!" Minsk yelled as the ship fired four more torpedoes.

Their luck ended when a shot from the Bismarck II hit the ship on the missile deck, destroying the other eight remaining missiles. The missiles exploded and the ship was engulfed in flames. Mingsk looked up as the rest of the crew burned in the flames. He was bleeding on the floor of the bridge with the flames closing in.

"Curse you Allied fleet, curse you," Mingsk said as he died on the sub.

A few minutes later the sub exploded and sent the remains flying everywhere. The ship was gone, but it dealt its damaging blow.



[Tetra's POV]

[Battleship Bismarck II 6:17am]

"There's only a few remaining!" A soldier said as the battleship shook from the forward cannons firing.

"Good! Keep at it men!" Naval Ace said as the ship shook from a torpedoes explosion nearby.

It was an amazing site. Enemy Cruise missiles flew past the Bismarck II and exploded on the water or nearby ships. The Boomber subs exploded in huge fiery explosions. Anti missile defenses on some ships whipped through the air and hit missiles down.

I watched as the last of the Boomber subs exploded and slowly sank. The men in the bridge cheered as we continued to move forth towards Tanith Isle. We were already close, but not in range for the battleships to fire.

"All newly developed Aurora Alpha Bombers, launch from the air craft carriers," Naval Ace ordered, "Begin Operation: Fuel Air!"

We all gasped as a swarm of really fast jets sped overhead and dropped bombs on the enemy bunkers and artillery. I thought they were regular bomb, but after they hit, brown particles appeared around the place where the bomb drop, and erupted in a huge explosion. The same happened with the bombs other dropped by the Aurora Alphas.

"So those are Fuel Air bombs?" I asked as I watched the explosions.

"Indeed," Alexis replied.

"Amazing," Link awed, "They're so powerful!"

"Alright! Begin Bombardment of the beach defenses!" Naval Ace yelled as the Bismarck II shook from all of its cannons firing at once.

Loud explosions and the sounds of firing cannons were heard as the other battleships opened fire on the enemy beach defenses. The shells impacted with the targets as the remaining defenses began to crumble.

"Good, all transport planes, launch from the airfields, we'll need you soon," Granger declared through the intercom.

"All Landers, start launching the hovercrafts. Begin the landing!" Naval Ace declared as the Landers dropped the ships into the water.

The Hovercrafts moved slowly towards the shoreline. There was almost no retaliation as I watched the Hovercrafts drop off the troops and return to the Landers to pick up more. The troops began to climb the dunes to the destroyed bunkers. The tanks moved slowly up flattened roots on the sand dunes, careful not to flip over.

"This is the landing force, The beach is secured!" a sergeant said over the intercom.

"Good, begin to fortify the area, we will charge the central area when the paratroopers arrive," Granger replied.

"Anchor the ship," Naval Ace said, "We can't do much on the sea now, but defend the waters anyway."

"Let's get to the Helixes, we have to get to the island," Juziz said as we all followed him to the elevator.

We entered the elevator and went to the first floor. We got out and moved towards the Helixes. We entered a Helix and sat down in one of the seats. The Generals sat on one side and we sat on another.

"Hang on," the pilot said as the Helix flew towards the island. It tilted forward a bit as the helicopter moved.

We landed at the beach a few minutes later. We got out and went to the command tent. We entered it and men were still building it up. The tent was in a bunker that was still intact. I looked at the wall to see a map of the island, with line drawn on it.

"Ok guys, this is the plan we'll be doing," Granger started, "There will be other attacking forces, but this will be what we do. Our troops will move in from the front and distract the main enemy defenses and troops inside. There are no airplanes in the airfields which is an advantage for our troops. The troops we will lead will be the 4th tank division, with only forty tanks, 70th infantry Division and 109th Airborne Division. The 2nd wave of paratroopers and the 3rd tank division will move through the back and catch them off guard. Once the enemy is in the airfield, the 3rd wave of paratroopers will land on the airstips."

"I think a Particle Cannon would do best, after all, it's a straight line defense," Alexis said, making Tao sad again.

"Nah, we'll use a nuke cannon, once, to get rid of the Psychic Towers, and Juziz's Scorpion on the turrets, we don't need a Particle Cannon to be fired," Naval Ace stated.

"Ok, the first wave of paratroopers has arrived," Juziz said from outside.

We hurried out to see a horde of planes fly over the fleet. They flew over the beach and started to drop men. They opened a fabric in mid air and instantly began to float above the ground. I watched in awe at the sight of how many there were and how they were able to do that.

"Cool huh? It's always a great show watching paratroopers for the first time," Granger stated.

"Sure is," Link replied.

"So they're falling slowly?" I asked still looking up.

"Yep, that's what parachutes do," He replied.

I watched as the paratroopers one by one landed on the beach. It soon turned to twenty by twenty as the rest of them landed. They moved into their squads and started to march towards the rest of the forces. I would guess it was time to start the operation's second stage.

"Excellent men, let's move towards the center and take this isle!" yelled Granger through the intercom as the sounds of marching troops, jets, and tank treads moving were heard everywhere.

We got into a large Armored Personnel Carrier (APC, for no one who knew). It had two gun turrets on the top to protect from attacks, and its supply hatch which was on top was open. We could sit and still watch what was going on around us. The APC started to move. I noticed a new sound and looked to see what it was. I saw a Nuke cannon making the noise, it was the only one that came, after all, it was new.

We entered a large narrow ravine, that wasn't that long. We started to move through the ravine passing rocks and some trees. The forces continued forth, until a tank in front of ours exploded.

"All units halt!" he yelled looking at the destroyed tank, as its crew members got out.

"Mines," said Townes as Granger nodded in agreement.

"M60 tanks, move forward with mine ploughs down!" Naval Ace ordered as three tanks came forward. Out of the only forty tanks, these were the only ones with ploughs.

The tanks dropped the ploughs and moved forwards. We saw explosions in front of the tank as the tanks pushed forward. After a while, there were no more explosions in front of the tanks as they raised their ploughs. We continued to move as we exited the ravine.

More Aurora Alphas moved through the air and bombed enemy fortifications. I was starting to realize why this was called Operation: Fuel Air. We passed the destroyed bunkers and moved through a field of wheat.

"Careful men, an ambush can be set up here," Juziz ordered as the tanks moved forward cautiously, infantry platoons following.

The fields looked nice and peaceful. It looked like nothing would move or the ambush wasn't here. We made it through the fields perfectly fine, with no attacks. More Alpha Auroras flew overhead as the dropped their payload on the enemy defenses. It was the final line of defense where the enemy was. Our APC moved on top of a large hill, along with some infantry and the nuke cannon.

This base was protected by heavy gun turrets, as well as the black spires that Naval Ace said were Yuri's mind controlling, base defenses called Psychic Towers. Granger told us to put on these special goggles to protect from the blinding light of the nuclear explosion. Clearly Tao was going to use the nuke cannon. I placed them on and everything was darker.

"Nuke Cannon, fire at the Psychic Towers, we don't want them to mind control any units!" Tao said as the nuke cannon lobbed a tactical nuke towards the two spires.

The tactical nuke hit in between the two spires and obliterated them in a very light Orange explosion. The cloud of Orange floated upwards and formed the shape of a mushroom.

"Good thing those towers weren't in the base, or radiation would be everywhere," Naval ace stated.

"Sure is," Granger replied.

"Now, on to the final defenses" Juziz said.

He gave a gesture of the hand and a bunch of tanks came forth. They had enhanced barrels and were colored tan. They had a rocket mounted on the back of the turret and the tank looked like it was made for desert warfare.

"Scorpion tanks! Open Fire!" Juziz yelled into the intercom as the tanks advanced swiftly.

They dodged the fire from the cannons. Debris flew everywhere with each shot that missed. The tanks advanced further as the rockets from the turrets fired off. They hit their targets and the turrets that were hit exploded. The tanks fired their cannons at the remaining turrets detonating them in red explosions.

"Alright! Charge men!" Tao said as the troops charged forth.

They dropped to the ground to help make their shooting better, and to avoid the shots from the mounted heavy machine guns. They opened fire with their own portable Gattling cannons and assault rifles. It was a fire fight as bullets flew back and forth killing soldiers on each side.

The tide changed and we gained the edge as we watched helicopters fly overhead. They opened fire on the infantry below. The infantry began to retreat into their base as our men followed them, guns ablaze.

"Thank the lords for Commanche Helicopters!" Granger stated.

The tanks soon charged into the base as the last of the enemy infantry began to retaliate. Our forces outnumbered the infantry defending from inside the base and began to push them back. I saw the sneak attack wave on the other side, doing the same amount of damage.

"Alright, we got them now!" Link yelled as we watched in glee as our forces began to win.

The APC moved inward and entered the base. We kept our distance from the fire fight, so that no one would get hurt. The sound of planes filled the air as King Raptors flew in to destroy enemy tanks attacking our own. Enemy missile soldiers fired upon our tanks, slowly destroying them. The sound of a different airplane came in as I looked up to see another wave of large transport planes.

"Excellent! Our reinforcements have arrived!" Granger said as the paratroopers slowly started to drift towards us.

The paratroopers landed and opened fire on the soldiers in Magenta, coming from the other side of the airfield. The troops killed off the last of the forces as the base was captured. I heard reports coming in of other forces calling in that the bases in their routes were captured. It wouldn't take long; after all, it's a small isle. Soon enough, Tanith Isle was Golden Flames territory.

The cheers of soldiers were ringing out everywhere in the base as we sat in a tent set up to rest. We were talking with each other. It turned out Komali and Medli were actually in love, they juts never told us. Granger stood up after the last announcement came in and began to speak.

"This victory will give Golden Flames the edge to win the war!" Granger stated.

"Yay!" Medlie cheered.

"That's good News," Makar said hopping up and down.

"Three cheers for the Generals!" Gonzo started.

"Oh boy, here we go" Juziz assumed.

"Hip Hip Hooray!"

"Hip Hip Hooray!"

"Hip Hip Hooray!"

It was like a chorus as we all laughed after it was done. Nudge looked over at Naval Ace and Townes who had serious faces and whispering to each other.

"What's a wrong guy?" Nudge asked.

"Well, don't you find it odd we took this island so easily?" Townes stated.

"And how the enemy didn't put up much of a defense," Naval Ace added.

"Come to think of it, Yah," Link replied.

"Does that mean? They have something else?" Tao asked.

His answer soon came as an explosion killed some men near a tank. The tank was incinerated by a Large, Strong Laser Beam that was hitting the area where the tank was. I looked to see what it was to see a new boss creature. It was in a cylinder shape with jet engines underneath it's hull. There were claw like arms coming out of its side firing the lasers. It was painted dark blue. There was a metal head which was that of a dragon, that also had a powerful flamethrower inside. It flew twelve feet above the ground and was just coming towards the wall from a large hanger door in the mountain nearby.

"What is that thing!?" I asked as fire came out of its mouth and engulfed some unfortunate soldiers.

"You'll never defeat the Metal Leviathan!" Yuri's voice echoed as the men tried to shoot it. The bullets and cannons had no effect; it was just too big.

At thi point, the Metal Leviathan was already next to our tent and moving at the troops.

Link charged at it recklessly to try and find a weakness. To no avail, the Metal Leviathan saw Link and swiped at him. It hit him and sent him flying back towards us. It lost interest in him and began t attack the troops again.

"Link, get up," I pleaded helping him. He slowly got up.

"I found it's weakness!" Townes said dropping the binoculars.

"You did?" Link asked as he ran to Townes.

"There's a power box on its back," Townes started, "But a strange, black barrier is blocking it, we need something to penetrate it though."

"I have light arrows!" Link stated, "Those work against evil enforced barriers!"

Link ran and saw the black barrier. He knocked a Light arrow and shot it at the box, breaking the seal, and the box. The Power grid was destroyed as the Metal Leviathan fell to the ground. Link cheered as it shut down, as well as the rest of the soldiers. Our cheering soon ended as the Metal Leviathan exploded and a Large, Black Dragon with scorpion claws came out. It was faster and was flying higher then the Metal Leviathan.

"What now?" Granger asked as it made an attack and destroyed some tanks by sweeping down in a fast motion.

"I guess this is the Leviathan," Naval Ace said as it made another sweeping attack.

"Link! When it's sweeping, try using a Light arrow on its head! But first get its attention!" Townes yelled as the Leviathan turned for another attack.

Link aimed the Mirror shield at the beast and aimed it so a concentrated beam, of light hit the Leviathan's eye. Link had its attention and got ready for the second battle phase.

Link raised his shield and waited for the Leviathan to attack him. Link knocked a Light Arrow and fired, but it missed. He couldn't dodge the sweep so he was cut badly in his right arm. He yelled in pain as he slumped over. I gasped as the Leviathan began to turn again to finish him. He regained balance to look for the Leviathan again and got out his bow to try again..

It started to do the Sweep attack on him again and Link knocked another Light arrow. He released it and hit the Leviathan straight in the head. It groaned in pain and flew back upwards. It made another attempt and Link fired another arrow, knocking the Leviathan down. It was stunned, so Link took the opportunity to run up and slash at its head. He slashed and slashed until the Leviathan's head reared back and it yelled in agony.

It took off and flew around injured and finally, dove straight into the side of a nearby rocky hill. Link jumped for joy as the rest of the troops did as well. Link then clutched his right arm to try and stop the bleeding. I ran over to him and gave him the newly made Blue Potion. He drank the whole bottle and his cut stopped bleeding.

"You okay now Link?" I asked worried.

"Yah, I'll be fine now, thanks," he said as I embraced him.

"Nice job Link, Now I know why you're the Hero of Winds," Granger said walking up to him.

"Thanks," He replied.

"So you fight guys like these a lot?" Naval Ace asked.

"Other then Ganondorf and Puppet Ganon, this was the toughest yet," Link said looking at the dead Leviathan.

"General, there's a weird structure coming out of the hill where the Leviathan died," a soldier said.

"Let's see it," Tengra said as Naval Ace nodded in agreement.

We ran over to the hillside and saw a weird structure next to the dead Leviathan. There were strange markings on the building and it was made of stone. We didn't bother to look back as the airplanes started to land on the airfield. We were too interested in this building.

"What is it?" Granger asked.

"It must be a temple," Link answered.

"The Leviathan must have uncovered it after it crashed," I added.

"Well, the air core landed and is refueling, we will start bombing runs tomorrow, but we can explore this temple," Granger stated.

"Alright," Link said as he began to walk into the temple.

I slowly followed as Link threw a bomb to destroy a wall blocking the way. We catiously followed him into the next room as we entered the temple itself.



End Chapter 13

Tetra: And most exciting.

Link: With the new boss and what not.

Adrian: We want to see next chapter in the temple!

Tengra: So Review or he won't continue
