Chapter Thirty Two

Splitting Forces

Outside the Ravine

Kira knew one thing and that was this captain of the Minerva was taking help from a natural, that kept entering his mind, they would be nothing in accepting such low help from primitive creatures such as naturals, what kind of an ultimate would he be if that got out.

The second and most important thing was Kira knew after this battle he would have open waters straight to Orb. That was the reason he was going to end this as quickly as possible.

Doomsday

Kira stood up as he was going to head to the Minerva, but a few quick orders were given.

"Scan that ravine, our equipment is far superior to the Minerva, put the other two ships on alert until I say otherwise," Kira ordered.

"Yes commander," Willard replied as Kira turned and went for his elevator.

Heading down Kira ordered two from his security team to join with him, they were only tactical soldiers nothing special, and many found this strange as Kira never traveled with security, which meant that something had to be up.

Down on the bottom hanger Kira got in a small jeep as they drove out and towards the Minerva. With a folder in his hand Kira had plans to carry out.

The Minerva opened its lower dock as Kira's jeep drove in.

Minerva

The jeep stopped near an exit as Kira and his two got off as a few from the Minerva were there to greet them.

With a saluted one spoke, "Welcome commander."

"Where is your captain conducting her briefing?" Kira asked.

"She is in the pilots…" was what one said but Kira had heard enough and started walking by.

"I know where it is," was all Kira said as he and the two got into an elevator and began heading up.

When they got to the floor Kira made his way to the briefing room.

Outside the briefing room Arthur was nervously waiting, their last experience with Kira being onboard was not a very pleasant one to say the least.

Arthur shaking a little saluted and was about to say something.

"Just open the door," Kira told him before he said a word.

Arthur quickly did that as they were led inside.

Briefing Room

Inside Talia had great data the resistance had come up with, but she wasn't allowed to go on until Kira arrived.

The pilots waited patiently but some were well aware of what the commander did and these were not Ryu loyalists so weren't to aware of the true goal.

Shinn was tapping his foot angrily; this was getting on his nerves.

Luna looked at him, "You're going to wear the floor out."

"This is just like him, he is probably doing this just to make me wait on purpose," Shinn said annoyed.

"Not everything is always about you," Luna quickly responded.

On the other side of the room were the Minerva pilots.

Heine was one of them, he was also confused about why the commander halted this briefing, from what he had gathered this was an excellent way to breach the ravine and destroy that cannon.

Shiho was next to him, she had her ears and eyes open the entire time, but this would be the first time she saw the commander since they landed. She still held those pills she swiped from them and hoped they could get this over with as soon as possible so she could get them to Yzak and the others.

They were waiting but didn't have to wait much longer as Arthur opened the door and walked in first.

Kira soon followed as his two soldiers walked in and took guard by each side of the door.

Talia noticed this, but what was worse she saw the look in his eyes it was a lot worse then she last remembered, she could tell he wasn't happy about something.

All the pilots could see it to.

Shinn snarled and looked away in defiance as Conille had a very bad feeling about this man, he looked blood thirsty or something, she now wished she would just have to deal with Talia.

As Kira walked forward he saw the natural child, this was an utter disgrace for this ship to accept a naturals help.

"I just finished conquering Victoria and securing northern Africa when I get a strange call from the second most powerful ship in our fleet…it seems the mighty captain cannot get past a single ravine!" Kira shouted the last part slamming his fist straight into the wall causing the rest to jump.

That certainly got Shinn's attention; he had never seen Kira this mad.

"One simple task I gave you and that is to scout Suez," Kira said holding up one finger, "One simple task," Kira said again walking over to her.

Talia looked right at him, "The situation was a little more difficult then that commander…"

"Silence!…I do not wish to hear excuses!" Kira said again walking right past her and Arthur joined her, it was apparent he was scared out of his mind.

"But do you really want to hear the funny part?" Kira asked not looking at anyone.

"This mighty ship then enlists the help…of our enemy!" Kira shouted again with his lightning speed quickly turned around taking both by the throat and slamming them against the wall slowly lifting them up.

Talia and Arthur didn't see it coming, his speed was godlike. They saw the look in his eyes as they struggled for breath. They were doubtful they were going to make it out of this alive.

The pilots froze for a second while a few stood up, but the movement of the security guards made them rethink any action, not that they would try and take Kira on, but some might try to talk him down or something.

Conille backed up against a wall, this man was crazy.

Kira's team was frozen all but Shinn, Shinn however would still let his attitude not back down from something like this.

"You two are utterly useless, you dare disgrace our forces by accepting help from a worthless town natural," Kira said again.

Talia froze at those words, "We…we saw…no other way," Talia said struggling.

"You think way too primitively," Kira said tossing Arthur to the floor like a rag doll.

Arthur just stayed there as Kira took a disk and such out of her hand.

"That is the data to get us to the cannon…all they wanted was their town liberated from the alliance…" Talia said as Kira was loosening enough for her to talk.

Kira took the disk and looked at it before crushing it in his hand, dropping her to the floor.

She quickly tried regaining her breath as Kira looked at her, "Follow me," Kira said heading for the door.

Talia stood up holding her throat as she followed him outside, one guard followed while the other stayed inside.

"This is crazy," Heine said checking on Arthur.

Shiho just watched. She knew that side of him but what was more interesting as something big had to set him off like that. She had to find out what.

Shinn was looking at the door.

Luna knew what was going on in his mind, "Don't even think about it Shinn."

Shinn just stared at the door, he didn't care what was happening to the captain or Arthur, and he was tired of Kira acting so tough.

Outside the Briefing Room

As soon as Kira walked out he turned around and looked straight at her, "How many more times am I going to have to get this ship out of trouble? I have no time for something you should have taken care of," Kira told her.

"The range of that cannon is to strong, that girl offered to help us, are you saying you would have done things differently?" Talia asked.

"Accepting aid from our enemy will only undermine what I am doing, now I expect you to fix the situation you put yourself in," Kira said reaching backwards.

The guard with him immediately handed him a gun.

Kira took the weapon and handed it to her, "Shoot her."

Talia looked at the weapon and then to him, "You expect me to shoot a child?"

"A child, a natural, an infant if I say, they are all our enemies, if you refuse I will take that as an act of treason," Kira said holding the weapon to her.

"This makes no sense…" Talia tried saying.

"I just wiped many towns off the map, that is the way to win this war captain," Kira said showing images of the towns.

Talia looked shocked, this wasn't part of the mission, or at least she wasn't told about this, this man just wiped thousands of people out and he didn't seem to care.

"This…" Talia tried to say again.

"Don't make me repeat myself; you yourself have a child do you not?" Kira asked.

Talia immediately took that as a threat, "Are you…"

"All I am saying is that child in that room wouldn't hesitate to kill your own, I expect you to follow suit, now take it," Kira said sternly.

Talia reached out and took it very hesitantly.

"Now come with me and take care of it," Kira said heading back for the door.

"You want it done in front of everyone?" Talia said again.

"I want them to see what should happen to our enemies, let's go," Kira said as they both walked back in.

Talia concealed the weapon, as she they walked back inside.

Inside the Briefing Room

The pilots inside saw them enter as they immediately stood then sat back down.

Conille remained frozen, she didn't like that man one bit, and it was hard to say at the moment which was worse the alliance or that single commander.

Talia was standing back at the front glancing every now and then at Conille.

Kira was the one to speak up, "This is your mission," Kira said getting all of their attention.

"The Minerva and the crew of the Minerva will leave this place and make their way west to the Atlantic Ocean," Kira told them.

Talia looked up again, now he was pulling them off the mission.

"I am giving you new orders captain, but first we have a small matter to take care of," Kira said looking at the natural in the corner.

Talia was struggling badly, but then something crossed her mind, she had a gun and the commanders back was to her. After what she heard, maybe it was best for the world if she pointed and fired at him.

"We no longer require the assistance of a natural," Kira said to her.

"But…but my town, our people are suffering," she said pleading with him.

"Indeed, but such is life in this world today, all there is…all that exists is suffering, fortunately for you I can end that suffering for you and for your town," Kira said seriously.

She looked at him, did this mean he was going to help her.

Talia now removed the weapon, seen by many pilots, they were as confused. Talia was really debating now what to do.

Talia lifted the gun struggling, her arm went up and down up and down, the pilots were still confused.

Conille had some hope that Kira was going to help her; she wasn't looking at anything else but Kira.

Talia lifted it again for Kira this time but in the end she dropped her arm to the side and sighed heavily, breathing heavily.

Kira heard that, "I didn't think you had the courage to do what is necessary to change the world," Kira said turning back around.

Conille saw the captain with a weapon in her hand.

"I even thought you would fire at me, but apparently you didn't have the courage for that either," Kira said approaching her.

Kira got to her and forcefully took the gun out of her hand, grabbing her shoulders placing it to her head.

"Captain," Arthur said as the others got to their feet.

Conille was now fearful, something told her that was meant for her.

"You proved my suspicions right about you captain, farewell," Kira said pulling the trigger.

All people froze and shut their eyes when they heard that while a few others watched stunned.

Arthur nearly broke down, but what was strange was they didn't hear a shot. All that was heard was a clicking noise.

All looked to see Kira still holding her and pulling the trigger of an empty gun.

"You didn't think I would be that careless did you," Kira said releasing her.

"I felt the anger you had, I actually believed there was a slight chance you would go through with it, I gave you a prime target to fire at me and you failed captain," Kira said tossing the weapon to the ground, reaching inside his own jacket.

"Let me show you how it's done," Kira said removing his silver handgun and turning straight to Conille.

"Don't…you said…" she said as she had no where to go.

"I said I would end your suffering, and I will," Kira said as he pulled the trigger and this time the gun did fire.

All looked to see he shot her straight through the heart, she looked up confused and fearful as she fell face first on the floor.

Kira returned his weapon as he looked back to the pilots, "Now we can get down to business," Kira said ordering his guards to take the body out of the room.

Once they were out Kira went on to explain.

"I suggest you pull yourselves together or you will not survive this next engagement," Kira said loading the data into the big view screen.

"You as well captain, I could sight you for treason but this little mission is more important for the moment, sit down," Kira said to the captain.

Talia did as she was told, and this was just like the last time only now he fired at a child, he wiped out thousands and was still going for more, what did this man want?

Shinn saw the events as now he backed down about a fraction, the rest of Kira's team remained seated.

Heine knew the rumors were now true about this man. It seemed ever since Durandal was assassinated they have been changing way to fast and it seemed like a dictatorship was forming in the Plants. Something was off and needed attention.

Shiho defiantly took a note of all this, but now she had to listen to the briefing.

Briefing

"Two Orb ships are on their way from the ocean, I am sending this ship to intercept them," Kira said showing the data of the two he got from images from Ryu.

"The Archangel and Eternal," Arthur said.

"Not to mention since they will be crossing Panama, they may receive federation help, but you will just have to deal with that," Kira said.

"What about this ravine sir?" Talia asked disgusted in him.

"I will personally handle that along with the other ships, I know you are limited on machines so I will be sending my own team with you, use them as you wish," Kira said looking at his team directions.

That did it for Shinn, as he stood up, "So your saying I am not good enough to take this base?"

Kira looked at him, "In all honesty," Kira said approaching him.

Luna and Rey knew this wasn't good as heart rates of the others went up as well.

"It is time for you to prove it, those are the two most powerful ships we will face, bring them down then I will consider your worthiness," Kira said turning away before quickly turning around and flipping him to the floor.

All stood again.

Kira placed his boot straight on his head, "Never drop your guard, it is time for you to back up the big mouth of yours, now get up," Kira said releasing him and walking back towards the front.

Shinn did as he was told and sat back down; again he was humiliated by Kira.

"By my estimation if you leave immediately you will meet up with them towards the middle of the Ocean, you will have no backup so I suggest you use your heads, now prepare to leave, dismissed," Kira said as all pilots practically booked out of there.

As Talia and Arthur were about to leave Kira gave the folder to them, "All the data of the ships is here, fail me this time and you will face treason charges," Kira said as Talia and Arthur left the room to prepare.

Shiho was the only one left as she approached Kira.

"Interesting plan commander," Shiho said.

Kira looked at her, "Maybe I should have transferred you to my ship, things are much more interesting."

Shiho smirked, "I told you when we first began this commander, you only touch when I say."

"I am heading to Kaohsiung after Suez, maybe I will have you join us there," Kira said looking the traitor straight into the eyes, he saw she took the bait.

Shiho now got a location out of him.

"Won't your wife start getting suspicious?" Shiho asked again.

Kira looked at her, "She is not my wife, though I chose her for the first ultimate since myself, which is as far as it goes, her use to me is finished."

"Maybe, I have to leave sir," Shiho said as Kira himself had to get off the ship.

Walking out Shiho believed the information she got was a good use.

Kira however gave her the wrong location on purpose, he was heading straight for Orb after Suez and he knew she would report that to Yzak which would get to the others, what a shock all were in for.

Kira got off the ship and returned to his own as he had this battle to take care of.

It was soon later the Minerva powered up and began taking off, Kira watched as the battle he knew would be interesting, Kira didn't want his former allies destroyed immediately, the chance was great sending them into a battle, but he needed them distracted and if his former allies didn't survive them they weren't worthy to see what he was going to do.

Kira now moved forward as he was going to finish the battle here, and he had the perfect plan to bring down that cannon.

To be continued…

(A\N): The next chapter will be the battle as the Minerva, Archangel, and Eternal start a battle of their own. Kira should arrive at Orb within two chapters. I am starting to debate whether I am making Kira dark enough so he might go higher in the upcoming chapters, I don't know yet. See you later.
