I do not own love hina or any of its characters, although I own the rest of the characters in the fanfic.
Su pulled out a radio that was clipped to her pants and spoke, "They fired early, abort the original plan and get that thing out of here!"
Roberts started sweating, "Su we have to get out of here in case they can't hack the missile"
Su shook her head, "Only a coward would run. Besides if I run they would think they have no hope, they would panic. I have to stay here. I don't care if I die, as long as I don't die a coward."
Roberts started shaking, "That's a foolish decision! Come with me! Your have too much to live for. These men on the island are nothing!" he glanced at the sky again, "Its almost here! You can't die here, you are a genius and a great leader, this is not the great way you shall go out."
Su smiled as if nothing was happening, Roberts was amazed at how cool she kept in such a situation.
The missile flew, and seconds away from striking the ground barely a few inches from Su's feet, it turned. It curved sharply to the left and flew upwards, and out of sight.
Roberts breathed out as if he had been holding his breath the whole time, "Jesus, I was sure we were going to die. Thank god for those men in there."
A happy voice came over the radio, "Threat eliminated sir! We carried it off into the ocean and deactivated it there. It's still dangerous there but we will send a squad to make rubbish of it."
Su took the radio and returned to a mellow state, "I knew I could trust you men. Good job."
"Thanks, it means a lot that you stayed."
"Don't go soft on me soldier."
Japan
Matsuo leaned back in his chair, sipping his coffee and keeping an eye on the screen for news on the war. He hadn't slept to well that night, and when he finally fell asleep his dreams were not exactly nightmares, just strange. He glanced at his watch and saw that he had to leave in five minutes. He stretched and lost his balance on the leaning chair, while comically trying not to fall or spill his coffee, the news on the war had come on, 'Crap, I guess ill just tape it.' He grabbed a blank tape and put it in the old VCR, setting the record time to 10 minutes. He turned off the TV, grabbed his briefcase, and headed for his car.
When he arrived at his cubicle, Takumi was leaning over the walls, "Hey." He said, raising his hand.
"Hey, you live closer to here than I do, did you catch the news about the war"
"Yeah, they did have pictures of that Kaolla and her bodyguard. It's strange though."
"Strange?"
"Yeah, the picture is very recent. It is obviously inside of their base because one of their buildings is visible in the background. Plus the bodyguard looks terrified of the cameraman."
"Maybe they are letting people in now."
"I highly doubt it. One, they would probably be shot down, innocent aircraft or not. Two, these guys don't trust anyone, they wouldn't let cameramen in."
"Anything else?"
"Yeah, they found out that she is allied with two former presidents of that company she used to work for. They are openly providing money so she can build her machines, if, of course, they get the designs to themselves. They also fund her for everything else from food for her soldiers to pistols to construction."
"This is looking very dangerous"
"You scared Matsuo?"
"Yeah, you wish"
Takumi gave him a grin and walked off. Matsuo sat down and started another day at work.
Molmol
Back at the Molmol military base, Su had been asleep for several hours, and Rogers was outside her door, ready to react quickly to any emergency. After about an hour he wanted to check on Su; he slowly opened the door and walked into the room. He walked over to her small bed and looked at her closely. She was very attractive; he had found many situations in which he almost couldn't control himself. He was inches away from her face; he had no idea why he was so close. He leaned in and kissed her. As soon as their lips met, Su's eyes snapped open and she realized what was going on. Rogers hadn't noticed that she was awake until she returned the kiss, and wrapped her arms around him.
After a couple of minutes something in Rogers made him come back to the real world. He leaped away from his position and towards the door, "Miss, I can explain, I'm so sorry!" he bowed endlessly as she sat up, blushing. He looked up, expecting her to yell at him, or tell him to get out of the room, or maybe even fire him, although she had done none of those things. She had just sat up, staring blankly at the wall. Rogers held his breath, 'She...she returned the kiss...she had her arms around me... I don't think I have ever been more attracted to her in my life.' He thought as he shook his head, hoping to shake off the last five minutes. Su had finally moved, she had lied down and went right back to sleep. Rogers, still flat against the wall, let out a sigh, 'Maybe she was asleep while she did those things, but her eyes were open. Well in any case, I have to go outside before I do anything else'
He walked outside, still slightly red; he felt as if every passing soldier, mechanic, or worker passing him had known what he had just done. He wondered what he would do once she woke up again, what he would say. That moment came earlier than he expected, a call came over his radio, "Rogers, get Su into the factory pronto, I have a surprise for her." Rogers knew no response was necessary. He opened the door again, thinking of what it would be like once he woke her up again. He cleared his throat and closed his eyes, his heart racing, "Err...Ms. Su, there was a call from the factory, they said they have something to show you"
He opened his eyes to find that Su was fixing her hat, "Good, let's go."
They had spent a couple of silent moments in the jeep, Su stretched and yawned; Rogers had a hard time not glancing to the side seat as she did. When they had arrived, the American mechanic Archie greeted them at the door.
Su crossed her hands, "Well, you had something to show me?"
Archie flashed a wide smile as he opened the door into the factory. An enormous machine was in the middle of the room; Rogers had recognized it as one of Su's old designs, named 'Coffee' for its ecstatic movement , although it was too small to be a mech, the company took its design anyway because of its abnormal speed.
This only difference between Coffee and this mech was that this one was three times larger, and this one looked like it packed quite a punch. As we marveled at it, Archie leaned back and took a drink from a bottle of liquid, most likely alcohol. Su had noticed this and chuckled, "What's that?" she asked. Archie smiled again, "Liquid inspiration and that's all you need to know. Now, I think you might want to know a little about this baby. Basically, we added on to Coffee's design..." 'I knew it' thought Rogers "...Although as you can see, it's a lot bigger and it has some additions. For example, this machine is so massive, that it needs large fans to walk, to reduce the force of gravity. The fans are located in the legs. Surprisingly enough, all this pressure is only enough to have it walk at a normal pace. Another new feature are the two cooling tanks, on the back, these are enough to keep it cool while all the machines are running, but it can only hold them for thirty seconds. Keep in mind that's only when everything is running, which will most likely not happen and if so, not for more than ten seconds. Weapons include the automatic machine gun, and the rockets, located on the shoulders." Su nodded through the whole explanation and examined the machine.
Archie stepped towards it and looked back at Su, "So, do you want to give it a test run?"
Rogers answered for her, "I don't think so, it might get damaged, or something might happen to the driver. Anyway do you know how close a watch the Japanese are keeping on us? They might destroy it."
Su looked at him and let out a disappointed sigh as if he was always ruining her fun, "I'm just concerned for your safety, it's my job."
She walked in front of him and looked back at him, smiling, "Right, lover boy."
