Chapter Fifty
Battle Assault Part One
Doomsday
Bridge
Using their long range sensors the Doomsday was monitoring the yacht heading exactly for them.
Ryu and Kira were still on the bridge as Ryu called for Lacus to join them, a few guards were bringing her there after they got the order.
Ryu looked at the sensors they had on screen, to the officers this seemed like a waste of time, they could just fire one cannon blast and the ship would sink just like the others that were unfortunate enough to get into their range.
Ryu was doing what he was about to do for one reason, he wanted to put Kira once again to the test. That yacht was just a civilian liner but he knew the Seiran's reputation never to go anywhere without their small entourage of bodyguards and such so this was the perfect way to put Kira to the test, especially in his current condition.
Kira was focusing the best he could, his senses were still working high but he was very distracted in the fact that he was without his fix for way to long.
Ryu called Willard up to the third floor of the bridge as they were going to go over what they were about to do.
The back elevator opened as a few guards had brought Lacus with them.
Lacus was still in her room when the guards came and got her and like always they never told her what they were doing, just ordered her to follow them and she saw she was being led to the bridge.
After the elevator opened Lacus saw the bridge, she had to admit this was an incredible set up for this ship, Kira was definitely talented and that was why they were having trouble with this war. One ship could take out an army and if things didn't change that just might happen.
Ryu saw the doors open.
"Welcome Miss Clyne," Ryu said as Lacus stepped forward.
Lacus stared at them and she spotted Kira and he wasn't really looking to good either.
Lacus stopped as Willard stared at her.
"Is it okay to speak with her around?" Willard said.
Ryu slightly smiled, "Miss Clyne here has been…how do I say this…redeemed, she will be assisting us from now on so let us show her how we do business on this ship."
"Yes sir," Willard said as the briefing began.
Lacus kept glancing at Kira he was back up on his feet and not acknowledging her at all.
"This is our target," Willard said as it was put on the briefing screens table on the third floor.
Lacus looked for a second; it looked like a civilian liner.
"You seem conflicted Miss Clyne," Ryu told her.
"I don't see how civilians are a threat," Lacus told him.
"They will warn authorities that is how, look at the symbol," Kira finally added.
Lacus was surprised but did as he said, though his tone seemed different then when he captured her, it wasn't calm anymore.
Lacus' eyes widen a little.
"So you do recognize it?" Ryu asked.
Lacus finally nodded her head, for her goal to work she had to earn it, "I wasn't aware they left Orb, but they were removed from the parliament before you attacked."
"Once blue cosmos fools always blue cosmos dogs," Kira added again.
"They sincerely believe that Jibril and the alliance will assist them, the information you gave tells the entire story," Ryu added.
"What do you plan to do?" Lacus asked looking at that ship, she was in no way a fan of the Seirans but she still didn't like it when people died.
"Sir…we should just fire a volley at them now, one shot is all it will take and the risk of detection is none existent, where a full attack would could take to much time and draw attention," Willard said.
"When the chairman wants your opinion captain he will give it to you," Kira said looking right at Willard.
"Yes sir," Willard said backing down.
Lacus didn't like this side at all; she saw a look in Kira's eyes she once saw when he lashed out at a few children years ago. She remembered he felt bad afterward but that was the same look she was getting now, she feared in this state he was in many would die.
"We will send a few assault teams to take the yacht, you commander will lead them," Ryu said looking at Kira.
"Yes sir," Kira replied.
"You will take the Agiles we have stored in the docks, your goal is to get on the ship and capture both of the Seirans," Ryu told him.
Willard really thought this was unnecessary, but the chairman must have his reasons. He didn't know what the capture of the Seirans was going to accomplish but if it was anything like other captives it wasn't going to be good for them.
"What about the rest of the crew?" Kira asked.
Lacus had to be very careful here, she knew he meant the servants and maids as well as the civilian crew, but she couldn't show any emotion here or they would detect it, she even had to be careful in what she was thinking, but she was smart enough to watch that, despite the difficulty.
"Eliminate them all," Ryu said looking right at Lacus.
Both Kira and Ryu could detect the feelings she felt, though it was still early so they decided not to do anything about them, what they missed was what Lacus really hid the anger and hate, especially for Ryu.
"Consider it done sir," Kira replied.
Ryu looked at Willard, "Range?"
"They will be here in one hour sir," Willard responded.
"Good…I will prepare the assault teams commander, report to the hanger in fifty minutes," Ryu replied as he dismissed them all.
Willard took the stairs and went back to his seat, Ryu left as he was taking charge of preparing their assault teams and equipment, but he told Lacus to stay.
Kira took a seat in his chair as he didn't look at Lacus, "You going to stand their all day," Kira said motioning to the other seat.
Lacus hesitantly sat down as she looked at Kira.
"Is this why you brought me here Kira? For the reason the chairman asked," Lacus asked him.
"All I did was leave your fate to him, if he would have wanted you dead I would have pulled the trigger," Kira told her.
"Excuse me if I don't believe that," Lacus replied.
Kira looked up, "I am really not in the mood for this Lacus."
"I can tell, after all he took away your pills didn't he?" Lacus asked.
Kira angrily stared at her, "Don't mention those again…what do you know of it anyway?"
"It's just my theory," Lacus responded looking ahead again.
"You were brought here to do what the chairman wants you to do, so I suggest you stay on that topic and leave the rest alone, you should be grateful he didn't want you dead," Kira responded.
"Maybe not now but after I do what he wants he may finish me," Lacus said, she was testing him now, she wanted to see just how far she could push, he wasn't looking good at all and she didn't like the idea of him in one of these tactical mission in this condition but the overall picture she had to get information but that didn't mean she could just turn off that section of her heart either.
"Then you should be grateful he allowed you to live as long as he did," Kira replied to her comment.
"Don't you ever think for yourself anymore?" Lacus asked.
"The chairman's goal is my goal, I choose this path Lacus, and I believe with time you will embrace it as well," Kira said looking at her.
"Maybe…" Lacus said as convincingly as possible.
Kira went back to work but Lacus had one more thing she wanted to get in.
"Just answer me one last question," Lacus said leaning closer.
"Speak," Kira replied.
"Is the world you're creating the world you want for your…children," Lacus got in with the emphasis on the word children.
"The ultimates will rein supreme as the only species Lacus, if only you would have seen my way sooner it could have been you," Kira replied.
Lacus said nothing on that matter, she was the actual first, none were ultimates but there was no way she was telling him that or that they even existed.
Lower Hanger
Ryu called together the Doomsday's assault teams, and gave them their orders. All acknowledged as they waited for the final word, they were on high alert and could move out the second the chairman gave the order.
Seiran Yacht
With Unato off in his own world and Yunna ordering around servants like a big shot, they never expected they were heading for worst nightmare ever known to man.
Just going about their business when the bridge was getting jammed from the Doomsday, they couldn't see anything on screen until they can into visual range.
Deck
Expecting a sunny day Yunna was lounging in the chairs when suddenly they were nailed with a very large surprise ahead.
Yunna removed his shades and about soiled himself.
Doomsday
Bridge
Just as their radar predicted they were nearing range.
Lacus remained with Kira on the bridge but there was no conversation after that last statement, she only took the time to observe him and the ship.
"Commander, it is time," Willard said.
Kira who stood up still wasn't in the best of shape mentally but physically despite his injuries he was ready to go.
"Inform His Excellency," Kira ordered as Willard did just that.
Kira was about to leave when he didn't even half to look to know Lacus was staring at him.
"Is that concern I am picking up?" Kira asked still not looking at her.
Lacus stared at him; his abilities for picking up feelings were dead on, however she said nothing.
"I know how you are, if you wish to leave the bridge you may, you are currently restricted to this section of the bridge and the floor your room is located on, for your own sake I would not suggest in trying to head elsewhere or activate any rooms or equipment you may find, we will know," Kira said before getting on his elevator and heading down.
Lacus watched him leave, for some reason she didn't want to be on this floor anymore but she had to see this, she had to see what he was going to do.
Lower Hanger
Assault teams were already getting briefed by Ryu as he was informed they were in range.
Their arsenal was only two Agiles with one transport chopper, that was all Ryu was sanctioning for this mission, and the Agiles weren't cleared to open fire, he wanted Kira to go in hand to hand. No mobile suits and no help from the ship.
Ryu noticed when Kira entered the hanger as he went on with his briefing.
Kira arrived as he was greeted by a soldier.
"Sir," the soldier saluted.
Kira walked over as he was in front of a weapons locker.
Kira removed his uniform jacket as the soldier handed him an assault vest.
Kira looked at it and waved him off, "Not needed, just give me belt."
"Yes sir," the soldier said placing the vest down and giving Kira what he asked for.
Kira placed the two straps over his shoulder and snapped the buckle together over his torso.
This was designed to carry extra equipment but wasn't any good for defense.
Kira placed a few rifle clips in the only two slots on the vest as the straps leading to the shoulders carried a few small grenades. This was all the belt would hold with the exception of the modified holsters on the back where Kira removed his two hand guns from the uniform jacket and placed them to the back of his belt with only one clip each extra. The other crew had full equipment but Kira was only going with as little as possible, he was the senior and an ultimate so it's best to show the ordinary coordinators that you are superior.
Lastly the soldier handed him a long knife he placed down placed in a strap that attached to one of his upper legs.
With that Kira placed an earpiece inside his ear as he could receive orders from base as well as speak to the other soldiers.
Kira then picked up the assault rifle as he checked the clip before slapping it back in. The rifle had a shoulder strap which he placed over his left shoulder.
Kira was finished as he headed over towards the chairman. Basically they were dressed for overkill, they only expected a few bodyguards but with many civilians and a few Orb military officers they weren't aware of they had to make sure they had enough.
Kira stopped right behind the chairman.
Kira listened as Ryu finished up, "Anything to add commander?"
Kira stepped forward, "Your orders are simple and should be carried out at ease for the superior race."
"Yes sir," all replied.
"Our goal is the capture of the two men whose photo you are being shown," Kira said as they dug it out of their data base. The soldiers looked at it as they passed it on.
"We are going in with no Intel, secure the deck then check room by room, they cowards will run but we will find our prey…this order is clear, destroy anything you see but those two, is that understood?" Kira asked.
"Yes sir," the team replied as they were high loyalists to Ryu or they wouldn't be on this ship.
On a yacht this size and only going in with a dozen Special Forces soldiers this would seem impossible but Kira knew how to get what he needed. Ryu knew this, this was the perfect way to test and see if Kira still had his killer instincts.
"Move out," Kira said as the soldiers immediately went to their choppers as the hanger doors opened and propellers were started.
Kira turned to Ryu.
"This is also an opportunity commander, the Seirans were high Orb officials and may have information we could use, take them alive," Ryu ordered.
"Yes sir," Kira replied.
"Just remember one thing commander, do not fail me again," Ryu said.
"Understood sir," Kira replied.
Ryu nodded and Kira moved towards the transport chopper.
As soon as he boarded they got word from the bridge and all choppers took off.
Ryu watched as now the fun began, as he headed for the bridge.
Seiran Yacht
Bridge
The captain saw he was heading straight for a very large massive warship, "All stop!" the captain ordered his engineering crew.
They had no choice but to stop as they were heading straight for a ship this large and they haven't been given orders to change course, this was one of the things the Seiran's loved using their power for so he had to get clearance.
The captain immediately called down to Unatos cabin a few decks down.
Cabin
Unato was going over a few things with his staff when he got the call.
"What is it and why have we stopped?" Unato asked as he was getting disturbed by all this.
"We ran into a massive warship just docked here sir, they might be the ones that are jamming our radar," the captain said as he was just a civilian captain, not one for knowing military matters but he did admit the ship seemed familiar.
Unato slightly smiled, he thought this was an alliance ship.
"Contact them and have them dispatch me to Lord Jibril," Unato said thinking this was the time.
"Uh…sir I don't that they are interested…they seem to be sending something out," the captain said.
Unato was growing annoyed as he turned to a view screen, "Patch me through I will talk to them fool."
"We cannot sir, communication is down, so is radar and scanning," the captain said.
Unato was now finding this strange, what ship had this kind of technology in their fleet.
"Put it on screen," Unato said looking at the view screen.
The captain did as Unato nearly had a heart attack as he backed off, "That…that…that is not an alliance ship it is him!" Unato said.
The others looked as they now had the worst luck in the world.
"It's Zaft, get us out of here now, contact the alliance," Unato said.
"We cannot contact anyone sir, and we are now detected three choppers heading out sir, they are on an intercept course," The captain said.
"Inform security to shoot them down, I don't care how just do it!" Unato said looking around in a panic now.
The captain immediately launched a security alert as a ship wide alarm went off.
Security forces from the Orb officers and many bodyguards rushed to the deck.
Unato looked at his people, "Let's go," Unato said as he was about pushing them out the door, apparently he didn't want to be here and believed there was a safer spot.
Deck
Yunna was shaking like a leaf, he looked all over the place as security forces rushed to the deck, they brought practically their whole estate but most were not soldiers and bodyguards.
Yunna started slowly backing away as those choppers got bigger and bigger as they were coming closer.
Yunna was now cowering behind a few of them as he was looking back for an exit.
All bodyguards drew their weapons and the few military personal had a few rifles, but not many.
The head bodyguard gave the order as the choppers got really close, "Open fire!" the bodyguard shouted as they opened fire at the choppers.
Yunna screamed as he took off running for a cabin door, his arms over his head and slammed the door behind him.
Yacht Deck
Choppers
Kira watched as they got closer and he opened the side door.
The Agiles took point on the matter to draw fire as they saw people gathering with weapons. Kira looked like he saw the fool running inside like a coward; he immediately knew that was Yunna.
Kira watched as the opened fire on the Agiles.
"Twenty seconds," Kira said as a few soldiers nodded and dropped four repelling ropes off the side of the transport choppers.
"Take out the naturals immediately once you start descending," Kira said as the safety went off of all weapons.
The Agiles were making guards spread out opening fire and a spot in the middle of the deck opened. The transport chopper moved in as Kira and the rest opened fire from the chopper.
The bodyguards had to take cover as the chopper was now hovering over the center of the open deck.
Kira was taking point on the matter, with the rifle over his shoulder he stood up taking the rope with his free hand and wrapped one leg around it as he started making his way down.
Kira was heading down as he opened fire with his free hand.
A few bodyguards were aiming at him when Kira opened fire; the shots hit their marks as both fell to their demise.
The Agiles were now laying cover fire from the few soldiers stationed on those.
Kira slid down as he landed on the deck and dropped to one knee holding his rifle in a ready stance as the other soldiers made their way down.
Kira was getting impatient as more bodyguards and some Orb soldiers were gathering to counter.
Kira wasted no time opening fire on them, and his aim was dead on target.
Deck
Following the alert the forces rushed to the deck but the Zaft forces were already on deck, they were met with gun fire as they had to stay back and in cover. Most forces on deck were gunned down by the fire from the choppers and now the reinforcements were moving in.
Kira saw two gathering and about to move in as his aim was deadly and it only took two shots to bring those two down.
The assault forces were all on the deck while they took up defensive measures in firing covering fire at the entrances to keep the Orb forces back.
Once the transport was down it flew off as the Agiles lowered themselves enough and the few forces in there dropped to the ground.
Once all Zaft forces were on deck Kira finally stood up as they began spreading out. The deck had two sides and Kira motioned for them to split up.
Half went with Kira and half went with another officer.
They were still taking fire as Kira moved the team to the cabins outer walls and took cover there.
The other team did the same.
Kira took point on the matter as he glanced over the side and each time took fire.
Placing a hand in his ear, "Punch through," Kira ordered as he moved his rifle over the side and fired continuously.
While doing that he reached on his upper belt and took on of his grenades off.
When the clip ran out Kira popped the pin and tossed it over the side immediately ducking back.
The Orb forces and bodyguards were staying in cover by the entrances firing every chance they got but that changed when a grenade landed just to the side of them.
They saw what was coming as they tried to move back in.
The grenade exploded throwing most of them back by the force and fatally destroying a few others.
On the other side of the ship the team did the same thing.
"Move in," Kira ordered as his gun went to the side and he moved towards the entrances.
Kira looked down and saw three fatalities and a few regaining themselves as they were trying to stand.
Using one hand and aiming the rifle downward he quickly changed the clip and fired one shot at the people on the ground finishing all of them.
A few bodyguards and forces had just arrived as the door flew open.
Kira saw the door open as they tried to quickly aim their weapons at him. Kira used his fast speed and got right up on them.
Knocking one weapon out of ones hand Kira grabbed the back of the persons head and slammed him head first straight into the side of the cabin. The force was so great the neck immediately snapped on impact. Kira dropped that person and reached for his knife.
He was using that one as a slight shield but after he slammed the person against the wall he moved backwards with his knife and connected straight with the neck of another person, slicing the artery it was over for that person as well.
The person was still struggling and no longer had the strength to move but Kira grabbed the person collar and moved to the side of the ship throwing the person over.
Kira watched with a slight smile, "Splash."
The entrance was now secured as Kira looked to the team members.
"I want two with me the rest clear the deck," Kira ordered as the soldiers acknowledged and moved ahead.
Kira kept his sights on the door now as he looked at the two remaining.
"Do it," Kira ordered.
One soldier moved to the side of the entrance and removed a flash grenade.
The other moved straight for the front and awaited Kira's order.
"Do it," Kira ordered.
The soldier in front kicked the door straight open as the other threw the flash grenade in as both took cover.
Kira stood where he was and shut his eyes.
The grenade went off as Kira took his rifle once again and the two quickly moved in with weapons drawn.
They were now inside.
Doomsday Bridge
Ryu watched as they used their sensors and could see everything that was happening on the deck. Kira certainly hasn't lost those killer instincts if anything they were stronger just as he predicted. Throw him in battle after he is defeated and you have an even stronger monster.
Lacus didn't like at all what she saw, and now she had seen enough.
Lacus stood up, "If you will excuse me chairman," Lacus said.
Ryu slightly smiled, "You will miss the great fun, but I understand, just be back by the time the commander gets the prisoners, that's an order," Ryu said.
Lacus acknowledged though it killed her as she boarded the elevator and it took her to only one floor.
Private Floor
She got off as she had to clear her head and she wanted to look around and get in a terminal or something but she didn't have clearance for things like that and if spotted now she would be found out. She could only get that information from the heads and to do that she had to be trusted.
Lacus was walking to her room when she saw Sarah coming out of a room.
"Miss Lacus," Sarah said.
"I was surprised you weren't on the bridge," Lacus replied.
"I heard what was happening…I am taking it this is the first time you saw him like this?" Sarah asked.
Lacus nodded her head, "I a suit I saw how he acted but this is flesh and blood and he is mutilating it."
Sarah understood as she heard crying coming from inside the room.
Lacus heard it as well she knew those had to be the children.
Sarah saw her reaction, "Would you like to meet them? I understand if you don't."
Lacus slightly smiled, she had to admit her curiosity was getting the better of her as she agreed.
Both went inside as Lacus saw the children and froze when she saw both of them but especially a certain one.
Inside the Yacht
With Unato
Unato had countless bodyguards surrounding him as he made it to one of the lower floors, they moved inside what looked like a vault or something.
"We will be safe in here," Unato said.
This was a sort of safe room, these guys were so paranoid that they had something like this on board for emergencies, there wasn't anything that you couldn't find on this ship.
They moved inside as a few looked at him, "What about master Yunna sir?"
"No time close the door," Unato said as they did just that as the door secured itself.
Unato was now feeling like a big shot that no one could get inside here.
With Yunna
Yunna ran and ran threw the ship he was never this scared in his life but now he was shaking, he knew of the safe place but he was cut off from there as he just wanted to hide.
Yunna passed many ship personal as he made his way into a recreation area. Yunna panicked and then found the only place he could hide. Yunna opened one of the equipment lockers and went inside locking himself in a locker. Yunna bawled like a baby as he never stopped shaking.
Bridge
The captain saw the fighting as now the Zaft personal were inside and likely going to be heading here.
"Seal that door," the captain said.
"We cannot captain, this isn't a military vessel," one crewman said.
The captain was looking around like crazy as they had people blocking the door, but that wouldn't be enough.
With Kira
After they were inside Kira saw no more personal but now a hunt had begun.
"I need your status," Kira spoke to the other team.
"We just breached the door sir, awaiting orders," the other officer said.
"Take the lower decks remember destroy all in your path but keep the Seirans' alive," Kira ordered.
"Yes sir," the officer ordered as the moved in.
Kira looked to his own team members now, but not before he saw something on the wall, it was a map for the ship. Kira smiled as it pointed his straight to the bridge.
"Move out," Kira ordered.
"Yes sir," the two said as Kira once again took point.
Near the Bridge
They were making their way up as they hadn't found any resistance yet but Kira had a feeling they were with their targets.
Moving upward however that did change as a few yacht staff were rushing to get out.
They moved straight in front of Kira and his team.
One maid, a few servants, and even a few cooks.
Kira saw the pleading in their eyes as he raised his rifle, the other two did so as well, they were special forces because they knew never to question orders and followed without remorse.
Kira's expression didn't change, "Fire."
They begged and pleaded but he ordered and the three opened fire on them. It was pure slaughter as they fell one after another.
They finished as they changed clips and Kira was on his last but the other had plenty.
"Let's go," Kira said as they moved ahead.
Heading up the stairs they kept their rifles pointed ahead as one would cover the back and one the upper stairs as they went up.
Kira saw the floor that he remembered from the map as he kicked open the door and was met with gun fire by a few Orb officers.
Kira moved back as he pointed the rifle around the corner and fired a few shots. The officers were forced to back away as Kira rushed into the room.
He fired one shot striking one as he rolled into cover by an empty room.
Kira drew the fire from the other as his team members came from around the corner and fired striking the other one.
Kira stood up with his head once again killing him; he could really use something about now but had to fight that off.
Kira looked ahead as he saw the door that led to the bridge, if they couldn't find the Seirans there then someone should know.
Kira was about to move out when he heard what sounded like whimpering or something sort of noise.
Kira looked back as he saw the door was only opened half way when he went in. Giving a quick hand signal Kira looked at the door as the other two took aim, Kira grabbed the door with both hands letting his rifle hang to the side as he pulled it off the hinges then took one handgun and aimed it.
Behind the door were two frightened people, one maid and one servant, they only looked as old as Kira. They seemed to be covering a child as well and the small child was now crying, Kira had no clue why a child was no board but the crying it was causing wasn't doing his head any good. The one thing you never did when he had these headaches was make a lot of noise.
"Don't…" one said pleading.
The other was trying to shield the both of them, this was probably a small family or something like that, they were likely serving the Seirans but had to take the child with them, a big pity it was a natural.
Kira took aim with his gun. Then he felt a very sharp pain in his back.
To be continued…
(A\N): A little late with the update so I decided to cut this in two parts, the second part will be up tomorrow as the conclusion of this assault takes place. Bye for now.
