Chapter 16
Five minutes into the battle Kytes realized he had greatly underestimated his enemy.
With the Order's second flagship, the Invincible, and fifty Ector Knightmare Frames he thought this capture mission was going to be a breeze but he had not expected Zero's forces to put up such a fight. Sure his forces had destroyed a fair share of enemy Knightmares but it was nothing compared to the damage done by the Knightmares like the Guren and the Tristan.
Our Ector Knightmares are perfect but are pilots can't beat their vast experience Kytes sat straighter in his chair in the bridge of the Invincible after just seeing the Guren pilot destroy yet another Ector before getting ready to face another five at once.
Maybe I should have brought Roman with me? No I have to do this on my own besides Kytes had hated that old bastard the second he saw him.
"Sir with lost almost half of are Knightmares!" One of the bridge pilots said.
"Tell them to keep fighting and focus on the Guren unit!" He ordered back.
"The longer this drags out the worst it will be for us," An hysterical officer on Kytes left spoke, "We have to call reinforcements from Japan, get Roman and Schneizel here."
"No, we do this my way!"
"We can't win this sir you're going to get us killed!" The officer continued on.
But Kytes had enough of this, turning towards the stupid officer he looked at him directly in the eyes.
"DIE!" He ordered feeling the Geass power in his right eye.
In an instant a look of shock came over the man's face as he hand went straight for the pistol he had holstered on his belt.
"NO, NO STO- But the officers pleas was lost as he fired his pistol right in his head, blood and brain mattered splattered the wall behind him as he slumped down to the ground.
"Anyone else has any other suggestion!" Kytes said as he turned back towards the rest of the crew, but all he received was a few shakes of their heads.
I'll show them, I'll show Roman and even Lars that I'm the best, that I'm not a failed copy! This is what he told himself many times before and told it to himself now several time before turning his attention back to the battle. But what he saw took his breath away; the Avalon was actually charging towards their ship at full speed.
"OPEN FIRE, DESTORY THE AVALON!" He shouted, standing up.
He watched as the all Dreadnought's cannons fired at the massive airship but where all repelled by a green light.
"Sir most of the Avalon's power has been diverted to their front shields!" Said one of the crew, "We can't penetrate it!"
A second later most of the other crew members where racing out of the bridge as the Avalon got closer, speeding towards them like a runaway train.
Kytes turned and started to run as well but had barely taken two steps before he was thrown forward as the Avalon crashed into the Dreadnought. All he saw was a blur of bodies and metal and heard the crash which was louder than thunder as he fell to the floor.
What seemed like a second to register what happened had almost seemed like an hour has he opened his eyes. He heard the screams of the people around him as he lifted himself off the floor.
Sounds like they crashed at the lower levels of the ship The dock was on the mid level, he would have plenty of time to find a spare Knigthmare or ship and take off.
Quickly he set off at a run down the corridor, ignoring the pleas of his fellow officers who weren't so lucky in the crash.
He had seriously underestimated Zero and his forces, he didn't think they would be so battle ready so quickly and though it would be useful info he doubted Lars would be so happy about it.
Just get out of here, deal with that later He quickened the pace intent on making it to the dock before anyone else.
Kinda short I admit but I'm working on an even longer chapter next. Soz for the long wait but I hope you enjoy this new chapter and look forward for more.
