Interior Part Two

Blue Cosmos Base

Kira was heading where he had to and Rau and Patrick were watching closely pleased with what was happening so far.

Kira reached a new part of the base and stopped as he was preparing to enter the door, to a part he has not been to yet. Kira remembered from the map that this area was pretty much straight forward and their was a control room to the right of the hallway, Kira was running the map over in his head as he didn't have to show stealth anymore, whatever he ran into, would fall. Kira saw that this door was overridden by a computer lock, but it wasn't anything he couldn't get by. Kira punched in a few numbers and the door was open within seconds, Kira raised his rifle and opened the door while standing to the side, he swung the rifle over and once again found no one.

Kira knew that the base had evacuated the nukes earlier but he expected a little more resistance, unless they were fully abandoning the base, and moving else where, that was the only conclusion Kira could come up with. Kira started in never taking his eyes off the hallway. Kira neared the edge and that was when he heard conversation. He slowly moved to the side of the wall, and listened in. Kira could tell that the voices were coming from three different people. Kira very steadily peaked over the corner and saw that they weren't alone. Kira quickly moved his head back.

"It appears the base isn't as abandoned as I thought," Kira told himself as he no longer needed to be stealthy so he snatched a grenade off of his vest.

Kira popped the pin out and threw it around the corner towards the center of that room, Kira moved his head and body back a little ways.

The members inside were actually inside talking when they heard something hit the middle of the floor. They turned their heads and what they saw made a few of them jump but it was to late.

The grenade exploded taking out about a third of the occupants in that room. Kira wasted no time as he used the smoke to his advantage and moved in. The remaining blue cosmos members still alive didn't know what was happening they started to rise off their feet, but they were met to their demise. As Kira steadily walked in, he delivered a finishing shot to all of them remaining. Kira finished them off, but knew that would bring whatever was left in that base straight to him.

The smoke from his grenade finished clearing and Kira hastily looked around this room, there was nothing of use in there except for the power converter in the corner, Kira ran over to it and could tell it was a breaker that connected to the main power source of this base. Kira smiled as he checked down the hall, and then removed some of his demolition devices. Kira covered the custom made job with an amount of C4 he was packing and placed it on the breaker, Kira made sure it wasn't going anywhere and placed the detonator in place, he smiled as he left it alone, he could tell that breaker powered most of this base and would nicely to what he was preparing to do.

Kira finished and heard other members rushing down the opposing hallway, Kira moved as close as he could and the members spotted him opening fire, Kira hastily moved to the side of the wall, pointing his weapon the corner and opening fire, Kira was firing blindly but they had no cover, they stopped firing and started falling back but not before Kira moved into the opening firing at the retreating forms dropping all of them. Kira saw them fall and moved forward.

Kira was moving faster and faster using the map in his head to get to the control room, but he met up with a lot of resistance along the way.

The members engaged him and Kira fired back, mostly scoring hits on the blue cosmos members. Kira came to another corner and met more resistance but these guys were also well covered. A few tried to rush him, but Kira's aim was to good for them as he was able to hit all of them, with his magazine hitting empty, Kira quickly discarded it and reached into his assault vest and clamped in another one. Kira took a second again to rethink the map and he knew it was only a few more turns.

The blue cosmos members kept firing, but Kira was keeping a good track on the count of each weapon, another gift he was talented enough to have, as Kira waited for the right pattern, they were both changing up when Kira ran forward and went into a forward roll, he removed his Socom and fired a shot from both his rifle and Socom striking them both to their deaths. Kira holstered the Socom and once again got into cover.

Kira wasted no time as he moved forward again straight to where the control room was located. Kira was able to see the room but it was guarded, Kira used the wall for cover again as he randomly fired to by himself some time. Kira could tell their were five of them, but he was able to score to kills with his random fire, Kira saw another trying to maneuver for a better shot, but that was his mistake as Kira fired and struck him as well. As the man fell Kira knew he was wasting to much time so he would wait no longer, as the firing was coming on fast, Kira dropped to the ground and rolled out in front with the bullets striking above him he fired as he was in a roll dropping another one, Kira stopped rolling and got on his knee firing again as the last reaming man went for cover. Kira used this and ran as fast as he could, as the man came up again from his cover Kira was able to jump over him removing his knife and very easily landed in the back of him, as the man turned around, Kira shoved it straight into his chest, and Kira used his arm to shove the mans head hard into the metal of the wall, killing him immediately, Kira removed his knife and placed it back into it's holster as he was now at the control room.

Kira moved over to the door and found it locked as well, there was no computer lock it was just plan locked, Kira stepped back and fired his rifle, but the bullets were doing nothing to the door, Kira looked around and released his rifle letting it fall to his side, and he took out a small amount of C4 and placed it on the metal door handle, Kira could tell with enough force it would break the lock on the inside, Kira placed the small detonator in it's correct place and moved back a little pressing the button, and sure enough the door blew straight off. Kira didn't expect that but it would work. Kira moved in and found that there were several members inside but they didn't know what was going on behind the door, and Kira was able to use the surprise to bring the three of them down. Kira was careful not to shoot any controls so he made sure they would fall with one shot and they did.

Kira did that from the outside and now he walked into the control room.

Entrance

Athrun and his unit were finally able to load the last warhead onto the cart and all were in the assigned positions as they started wheeling it out. Athrun knew Kira did work on it to make sure it would be harder to accidentally set off, but he was still careful. They started out of the vault and made their way through the one sided metal hallway. Nicol was taking the rear, but he wouldn't have to do anything until they got out of this metal hallway. They went past the lobby and continued until they saw the door leading to the main base interior. Athrun kicked the door open and they had to once again follow Kira's marks to get outside. They started making their way to the exit with Athrun watching the front and Nicol watching the rear.

Outside the base Dearka was watching everything through the scope, Yzak was standing by and they had their eyes on the road heading in as well.

Athrun and the rest of them didn't receive any resistance as they were reaching the exit and Athrun decided to radio in.

"Alpha one has the package, and is nearing the front," Athrun said as Yzak and Dearka heard it.

"Bravo two acknowledges, we have your back," Dearka replied as Yzak snarled again.

"This is ridicules, lets get in their," Yzak said.

Dearka sighed, "We have our orders."

Yzak was growing impatient as he wanted action, to show up Kira.

Athrun and the others reached the outside, and now they had to get to the boat. The cart was not able to go any further so they had to carry it.

"Bravo two keep an eye out, we have to carry the package from here," Athrun said.

"Copy that," Dearka replied as he started looking around and he didn't like what he saw coming up the road.

"Yzak check out three o'clock," Dearka said as Yzak looked through his binoculars with his night vision.

Yzak's eyes got big, "Not good," he replied as a few trucks of earth forces soldiers were heading that way.

"Alpha one you have company," Yzak said.

The other six members of the unit had picked up the nuke and Athrun and Nicol were covering them.

Athrun heard that, "Who? Where?" Athrun replied as the members stopped.

"Down the road, there are a lot of them," Dearka came on.

Athrun and Nicol switched their night vision back on and looked down the road, and Athrun didn't like it.

"Bravo two listen carefully, Fire a shot knocking one out, that should slow them for a minute, and get down here, we have to hold them off as long as possible," Athrun said.

Dearka smiled, "My pleasure," Dearka said as he looked through his scope again, Dearka saw a few members walking but he used his skills to aim for the driver of the first vehicle. Dearka timed it out and when it was perfect he fired.

The shot echoed through the night as hit struck the driver of the first vehicle. Most heard the shot and went for cover as the vehicles stopped; they were surprised as they looked around to find the shooter.

With time running thin those two knew they would have to get down there.

"Alright let's go," Yzak said as he wanted his action, Dearka smiled and threw his sniper rifle over his shoulder and took out his shotgun.

Yzak was loaded as they looked at each other and started making there way down the cliff.

Athrun saw everything happen from down below and he looked over at the six with the nuke.

"Now's your chance get the warhead to the boat and start heading back," Athrun told them.

"Yes sir," They said in unison as they started heading towards the river, but carrying this thing they had to go as slow as possible.

Athrun and Nicol saw the force that would be approaching them so they prepared to hold them off the best they could, they got on each side of the road and found cover the best they could.

The approaching earth forces unit was still trying to find the shooter, but they were regrouping around the remaining trucks, but Athrun knew they wouldn't stay for long.

The six carrying the nuke made it as quickly and carefully as they could back to the river, they saw there small boat and they heard noise from the other side of the river, but it was just Yzak and Dearka jumping in to assist.

Yzak and Dearka made their way over to the other side of the river and assisted in getting the nuke on to the boat. After it was in the six remaining members started the boat and made there way back down the river. Yzak decided to radio the commander quickly so he could get up to the front lines.

"This is Bravo two, the package is being delivered," Yzak said as Rau listened in from the terminal on the submarine.

"Understood, I am sending the second team as we speak, get to the entrance and wait for Nighthawk to return," Rau said as he heard Yzak snare.

"Why wait sir?" Yzak asked.

"Don't let your emotions get in the way, if you return without him there will be severe consequences," Rau added as he signed off.

Yzak didn't like it but he let it go as he and Dearka started heading towards the entrance.

Athrun and Nicol were waiting, hoping Kira would hurry this up. It was then that Dearka and Yzak arrived. Athrun saw them and Dearka got on his side as Yzak stayed with Nicol.

"We radioed the commander, the second unit is heading in," Dearka said.

Athrun looked at him, "I see, we have to hold them off for as long as possible."

Yzak snarled again, but this was his chance to have some action. Yzak was ready to engage as the others prepared themselves as well.

The earth forces stopped looking for the shooter as all piled to the sides and behind a few trucks. They were heading to the base as they radioed in for back up, but it would take a while to arrive.

Athrun and the rest of them prepared to engage as they saw them come into sight.

Control Room

Kira walked into the control room and moved a body that had fallen on the controls, Kira looked around and saw a lot of monitors and equipment, and this was without a doubt the control center for the base. Kira still had a little ways to go before he reached the reactor, but this was without a doubt going to make this easier. The path to the reactor was secured by cameras and other defensive measures, but Kira could easily disable all from here. He punched a few numbers into the counsel and brought up the files on the base, Kira looked at the log and it was determined he missed Azeral by only a day, Kira tried looking over all the details, and confirmed he was heading to Washington.

Kira tried bringing up the full file, but the members inside was obviously deleting files, Kira frowned as he attempted to recover the files, but he was only able to get half of it. What he got read that Azeral did have the nukes moved, but they were moved with him to Washington, this base was being deserted and the control was going to be handed back over to the earth forces. Kira dug a little further and found out that Azeral was going to be the main guest at a presidential banquet and party held in the capitol building. Azeral was scheduled to speak, and Kira could only guess what he would say. This banquet was going to hold a lot of top members from the earth forces as well as anti-coordinator groups. Kira tried to dig up the main purpose but he couldn't recover any more.

Kira made sure to get everything on camera, as he now had proof of an earth force and blue cosmos alliance, he had all nuke programs and made sure to copy a lot more that would be used as proof. Rau saw everything from his monitor and knew his leader wasn't going to be happy.

Plants

Patrick saw everything and was not happy at all, but he had all the proof he needed to justify disobeying Clyne's orders, Patrick saw where the blue cosmos leader was heading and decided it would be perfect to take him out there. Patrick picked up the phone and made a few calls to the agents in that area. He was not about to let Azeral breathe much longer. Patrick told them to call him back when they gathered what he wanted and he put the phone down and continued to watch.

Control Room

Kira finished with the files and moved back to his secondary mission, Kira was easily able to get past the security files as he disabled all security around the reactor, all that was left was the members guarding the reactor. Kira finished all he needed to here and took out more demolition equipment and rigged this room to blow as well. He finished up and slowly left the room.

Kira continued down the hallway and found it empty but as he turned the next corner he was shot at, He quickly threw himself backwards and back behind the wall. Kira knew he was still a little ways from the reactor so he grabbed his second grenade and tossed it straight into the next hallway, after a few seconds it detonated taking all in the room with it. Kira moved in and found no one alive so he continued forward.

As Kira reached the next hallway, this was where all the security equipment was and not surprisingly all was off line. Kira smiled as he made his way towards the next room that was the last one before the reactor, but he was once again met with gun fire, knowing he couldn't use his grenade here, he fired randomly with his rifle until he ran out on that clip, Kira discarded it and reached into his vest to pull out what he found to be his last clip. Kira slapped it in, and fired again, this time he was able to strike one, as he fell the other looked and Kira moved in, they opened fire, but Kira was able to roll up to a small ledge and hid behind it. Kira got on one knee and fired again, striking another man, with a few left Kira decided not hold off on his rifle and pulled out his Socom, he looked around and saw a thick pull to the left, it was risky but he had no time, Kira hastily moved out and was lucky enough not to get hit as Kira fired one shot on the run striking another, and the last one was well hidden, but Kira waited for him to come back up and Kira fired again dropping him.

The room was cleared and Kira wasted no time as he quickly made his way forward and met a large steel door, which was obviously the reactor room, Kira saw a security pad to the left and immediately went to work on it, he used a few tools and pried the cover off. Kira worked with this type before, it was advanced, but nothing the ultimate coordinator couldn't handle.

Kira opened it up and made a few changes a he cut and crossed a few wires, Kira punched in a few codes and cut another wire crossing it with the rest and punched in a few more numbers as the access code said accepted. Kira smiled as the door began to open, he held his rifle in a defensive stance but when the door was fully opened no one was inside. Kira found that suspicious as he couldn't waste anymore time and ran in.

Reactor room

Kira saw the main reactor was blocked off, and secured, he of course couldn't go inside or he would be fried, but that would stop his custom made explosives. Kira saw a small control panels off to the right and would do something with those in a minute. Kira walked over and moved to the metal gate, he saw that it was locked but he used his special made lock pick he made and broke the lock, it was strange it was so poorly done, but Kira got in. he walked towards the reactor but obviously couldn't go inside. Kira reached into his bag and pulled out all the explosives he had, he set them up along the whole reactor and door, he set the detonators and moved back a ways, the explosives would cause a leak, but that would not be enough to detonate it, as he used his remaining C4 to place another one on the counsel of the panel, he set this one up with a different detonator, that was connected with the other two he set up earlier. Kira was finished as he walked over to the control panel, he didn't need to do anything really so he ignored it, he looked at his equipment and was satisfied, Kira knew this was going to blow big and would without a doubt make world and Plant news, but that would assist the leader, and make Clyne look bad to the people of Plants.

Kira turned to walk out he saw something he didn't expect.

Outside the Base

Athrun and the other watched as the forces were increasing and Athrun loaded a grenade into his launcher as he turned around to address the four of his squad.

"Here is the plan, I will take out the first vehicle, Nicol and Yzak start working on the ground forces, and Dearka if any get to close take care of them," Athrun said as Yzak didn't like it.

"That is stupid, we should just fire at will," Yzak said.

"I don't have time for this," Athrun told him again as Yzak ignored him.

"I have an idea," Nicol said as all turned to look at him.

"I could by our escape a few more minutes if you can do without me for five minutes," Nicol told them.

"What are you talking about?" Yzak angrily asked.

"I will set a trap here and if we hold them off long enough, we will be able to use this to get out," Nicol said.

Athrun smiled, "Permission granted, get started," Athrun said as Nicol did just that.

Yzak was going to get smart again, but they had no time as the first car was approaching, and Yzak didn't wait as he opened fire. His SAW was starting to cut right through the truck.

Athrun grew angry as the surprise was gone, and he aimed and fired his grenade launcher sending the truck into flames, the earth forces randomly started shooting at them as they got in cover, Yzak returned fire, as Dearka removed his pistol and shot whatever he could see moving.

Nicol was using the situation to set up the explosive, and he hoped that they would hold them off long enough for him to finish.

Athrun and Yzak fired as all earth forces fired, and it was getting chaotic.

River

The boat carrying the nuke was passed by the one carrying the second unit to assist in the teams retreat.

They reached the end of the river and this time they had to be even more careful as they would have to have four carry the nuke while two carried their boat, through the jungle, Kira knocked out a lot of the brush for a path on the way in, and it was helping out here. They quickly and carefully made there way through the jungle towards the shore.

Entrance

Yzak was on his second box as the rest were firing the best they could, none were hit and they took out several earth forces members but the last truck was covering them to much, Athrun and Yzak looked at each other as Yzak removed two grenades and Athrun loaded his grenade launcher again, Athrun nodded over to Yzak and Yzak popped one pin out and tossed it to Dearka, Yzak popped the second one out and both of them through the grenades at the same time, as Athrun fired his. The explosion was knocked out the last truck and a lot of earth forces members but they saw more coming. Nicol was finished and joined in the fight.

"He is taking too long, let's go," Yzak said.

Athrun glared at him, "He is not behind schedule yet."

Yzak looked annoyed.

"Commander over there," Nicol said.

Athrun looked.

Interior of the base

Kira turned to walk out he saw something he didn't expect.

Right in front of him was an earth forces member, Kira saw something strange in his eyes, but overlooking him further, Kira saw that this guy was about three hundred pounds of muscle. Kira knew he couldn't risk shooting in here, and with all of the explosives Kira set up this guy couldn't either.

The member looked at him, "Coordinator scum, your day ends here."

Kira looked at him, he was big but he was still just a natural.

"Overconfident aren't you," Kira said as the man grew angry.

The man picked up and drank something, quickly that made Kira looked at him strange, the man threw the bottle to the floor and charged at Kira with full speed. Kira was shocked a natural could move so fast, Kira moved out of the way and delivered a back spin kick straight to the mans head, but he was feeling no pain. Kira recovered and stared at the man who charged him again, Kira tried something and delivered a punch straight to his face but it didn't stop him as he wrapped Kira in a gigantic bear hug and started squeezing the life out of him, Kira was shocked that a natural, even this big had such power.

Kira was unable to move as the man spoke.

"It ends coordinator slime, nobody can beat me in this state," he said.

"What state is that?" Kira asked.

The man smiled, "You don't need to know," he said as he squeezed harder making Kira feel that.

The man laughed and Kira looked at him, "What a fool."

The man stopped laughing as his arms were being moved away from Kira's body, Kira was using all his strength to break free, and he was doing it. The man tried harder but Kira was easily able to break free from his grip.

"Impossible, this stuff is supposed to work," he said.

As Kira now had his hands interlocked with the man's, and Kira was forcing him to his knees. The man cried out in pain as he was losing.

Kira pushed back harder and broke both of the man's hands, he yelled in pain again and Kira removed his knife shoving it straight into his throat, the man was shocked and fell to his death. Kira was shocked but he would worry about it later, time was thin and he had to go. Kira left the man there and started running out of the base.

Outside the base

"Commander over there," Nicol said.

Athrun looked, and Kira was emerging from the base he immediately joined them.

"Is it finished?" Athrun asked.

Kira smiled, "All set lets go," he said as Athrun gave the signal and all five started falling back to the river, they were firing as they went and when they reached the river Nicol smiled and pressed his button igniting the explosives taking out a lot more members.

The second unit approached with the boat Athrun and the others hid and they opened fire at the remaining members. Kira and the rest were running out of ammo so they let the second unit do most of the firing, Kira and the others started boarding the boat and Yzak glared at him.

"Well big shot did you screw up?" Yzak asked as the boat was started and all were going down the river.

Kira ignored him, "We have to get to the shore that will be a safe enough distance," Kira said as he took hold of the remaining detonators.

Athrun nodded and they left down the river, as the reached the bank all got out and picked up there rafts making it through the jungle and finally to the shore. They saw the guys with the nuke were already nearing the submarine; the remaining squads put the boat in the ocean and started heading back as Kira radioed in.

"Nighthawk reporting, the gift is set, requesting permission to proceed," Kira said as Rau came on.

"Permission granted," Rau said.

Kira heard that and pressed the first detonator, and waited a few seconds pressing the main detonator switch, after about a second all they saw was a bright light.
