Hello, my dear readers! I'm here again and I'm as happy as I've never been before. The school is almost end, - only four days lasted. – and my grades are gonna be good.
Why am I telling these things you? I don't know. Really. But who cares. Nobody even reads these Authors notes. XD So literally I'm talking to myself. :P
Anyway, here is the next chapter.
When Alvin arrived home, Sirius was still fabricating the suits. So Alvin went up to his room, lay on his bed and fell asleep.
Of course, when Brittany arrived home, she was furious. Alvin just left her at the hall, alone. She (and Pjotr) had to ask Theodore to take them home. Pjotr wasn't mad at Alvin because he knew why Alvin disappeared. But he wasn't allowed to tell it to Brittany.
Brittany went to her own room; Pjotr went to his own room and fell asleep as Alvin had done a few hours ago.
In the next day, in the morning Alvin woke up earlier then it was usual. At 8:02 he was working in his laboratory. He was typing the last code lines of the operation system.
He cleared the situation in the place where he was planning on going. It wasn't going to be too hard work. He knew his own designed suit would be able to handle a little group of dishonest terrorists.
When the last 1 filled its place in the binary algorithm Alvin stood up and stretched.
- Sirius, is the secondary suit installed into the primary? - He asked.
- Yes, sir.
- Is the reactor of the primary suit working?
- It is working perfectly.
Alvin walked into the middle of the laboratory.
- Set it.
The floor opened and a huge, human sized, red-gold colored suit showed up in front of Alvin.
He walked to the front of it; the chest of the suit opened and revealed the interior.
Alvin climbed inside.
There were four holes. Alvin put his left arm into the left-up one; his right arm into the right-up one; his left leg into the left-down one and his right leg into the right-down one.
The entrance closed; the screen on the inside of the suit was activated and Alvin could see everything around. He moved his arms; the suit moved its arms too. He stepped forward, the suit stepped forward too.
He checked the weapon systems and the status of the reactor. All of these things were fine. Everything was working well.
- Activate the gyroscope.
Three rings showed up around Alvin; a gyroscope. Its work was compensating the suit's movements and keeping Alvin's position vertically. - If this gyroscope hadn't been, Alvin would have puked out of his belly. -
Alvin bent forward; the suit too, but his position was still vertical.
He noted in his mind that the gyroscope had been good idea.
Checking the last data he put his arms close to his body and prepared for taking off.
But he was stopped.
- Alvin, wait! Where are you going? - Asked Pjotr as he arrived to the laboratory.
The human sized suit got on its knees and lifted Pjotr up on its palm.
- If you open the case of my work desk you will find some pictures. The company locked me out and traded without my permission. I have to fix these things. Also I have to revenge Yinsen's death.
Alvin's voice was modified. It sounded like a human's voice, but it was a bit lower than normal and it was even scary.
- Pjotr, if you want to help, don't tell Brittany what I'm doing.
The fennec nodded, Alvin put him down and stepped far from him.
He put his arms close to his body and fired the thrusters. He lifted from the ground, bent forward and flew out over the bay.
He climbed up to 26,000 feets altitude. With 300km/h speed he was flying toward the Pacific ocean.
When he had visited the sons of Simon, Junior had suggested him installing a cloaking device in the suit. And Alvin had done that, but not literally.
The device what he had installed, didn't make him invisible visually, but he was literally invisible for the radars.
The radar cross-section of the SR-71 was less than 20 square meters. The radar cross-section of Alvin's suit was exactly zero square meters.
He activated this cloaking device and he became invisible.
The way from L.A. to Gulmira was more than 9,000 kilometers. But Alvin didn't worry about that.
He chose an order from the screen in front of him and picked the 'Super-Sonic' choice. The reactor on the chest of the suit buzzed and then the chipmunk inside the titanium suit reached the Mach 4.1.
1.8 hours were between him and Gulmira.
In Gulmira, the group of the terrorists was foraying. They were putting people on trucks and sending them all over the world.
The leader was yelling orders.
The guns (sent by the Seville Industries.) were firing and rockets were exploding around.
A black missile impacted into the near mount and a huge, blue cloud climbed up. Thunders were shooting from it and destroying everything.
Then another rocket exploded. It shot thunders too.
The terrorists killed the people who didn't obey them.
One of the men didn't want to leave his family and he set himself free from the terrorists. He ran to his family and hugged them.
The leader grabbed him and threw him away, onto the hard ground. He knocked him on side many times.
Then he ordered one of his men to kill the lying man.
The man aimed at his target's head and yelled something in a foreign language.
Just a moment before he pulled the trigger, a strange noise was audible from the sky. It sounded like an aircraft but as everybody looked upward, a red-gold colored battle suit showed up and landed on the middle of the town.
It landed on its knee. Then it stood up and the terrorists started firing on it. But the bullets didn't damage it. They glanced off.
It was Alvin's turn.
He grabbed the weapon of the nearest guy and broke it into peaces. Then he grabbed the guy and threw hi into the wall of a building.
Finally he could use the thrusters on his paws and he gladly did it.
Inside the suit, Alvin held out his arms and the suit held them out too.
Fire.
The energy charge burned the terrorists and killed them. Their lifeless, morphed bodies flew far and landed on the ground with thuds.
Alvin just continued firing and eliminating the terrorists around him.
Firing, the sound of the burning meat, screams, sound of the glancing bullets.
Alvin was on winning.
He turned toward the lorry where the terrorists put the women and the children in.
There were standing a couple of terrorists and they were aiming at the civilians' head.
Thanking to the translation system, installed into the suit, Alvin understood what there were yelling. But he didn't care.
He just put his arms down and turned the thrusters off. Then he aimed at every each terrorist; activated a little and smart weapon in the suit's shoulder and fired. The bullets hit only the targets. They couldn't even pull the trigger of their weapon. Alvin aimed at the 'cross.' – That's how the marksmen call the place on the back of the head (and the place between the eyes) where you can shoot without taking the risk that the target pulls the trigger after the brain loses the control over the body and sends illogical impulses.-
The men were killed and they fell onto the ground. A boy set himself free from his mother's arms and ran to hug his father.
The father hugged his son and comforted him.
Meanwhile the leader of the terrorist group was standing behind of a wall. He brought out his phone and started dialing. But unfortunately before he could finish the dialing, an iron arm went through the wall, grabbed him and pulled him through the wall.
Alvin threw him down on the ground into the crowd.
He fired the thrusters and took off.
As he was climbing slowly, he turned back toward the civilians and in his modified sound he said: "He is all yours."
Then he flew away.
From the air he searched for the missiles what the terrorists stole from him (in legal way). He found it and made his way to them.
But all of the sudden he felt a hit and he impacted into the ground, causing a deep crater.
He groaned and stood up.
- Sirius, what the holly shit was that?
- A hit. About the trajectory, the speed, the mass and the damage I can tell it was a tank shot. Maybe from a Tiger.
- A tiger? – Asked Alvin trying to stand up.
He climbed out of the crater and looked at the tank which has just shot him.
The tank fired again but Sirius thought faster than the speed of the shot and he avoided it instead of Alvin.
With a very furious face Alvin held out his arm. Two modules of the hull slipped apart and tiny rocket elevated out of the suit.
It was launched and with a high, metallic noise it hit the armor of the tank.
Alvin turned away, began to walk and pushed a virtual button. The rocket blew up and destroyed the tank.
As he wanted to fire the thrusters and take off, the suit stopped moving.
He could do anything, but the suit didn't want to move.
- Sirius, what happened? Why can't I move?
- The hit of the tank damaged the reactor of the suit. There is an energy vacuum in the primary energy tube. It has just reached the critical level and the energy converter between the reactor and the hydraulics system has been disabled.
Alvin sighed. He couldn't just stand there and wait for a miracle. The terrorists could turn up in every minute.
- Okay we don't have another chance. Are the weapons of the secondary suit working?
- Yes they are, sir.
Alvin got off the control system of the suit and stretched.
A light was turned on inn the left side of the suit. It was Alvin's chipmunk sized battle suit.
He sighed again. It wasn't as strong as the human sized one but only it was last.
- Set it. – Instructed Alvin and Sirius set the suit on him. – Open the back of the suit.
The rear parts of the suit opened and Alvin jumped out.
Looking up the primary suit he got an idea.
- Sirius, how much mass am I able to lift up?
- About 350 kilograms.
- How heavy the primary suit is?
- 280 kilograms, sir.
Alvin fired the thrusters grabbed the shoulder of the human sized suit and gave more energy on the rockets.
He could really lift the suit up.
It was surprising, that he was able to lift something up which was 717 times heavier than him. But he could do that.
The terrorists were shocked as they saw the rockets of the suit weren't fired but it was flying.
They were more surprised, when Alvin dropped the suit directly into the middle of the terrorists' crowd.
The 280 kilograms mass of the suit killed a couple of terrorists.
Alvin climbed up and levitating in the air he looked down at the men.
- Sirius, activate the self-destruction. - He said.
The primary suit blew up and killed the terrorists standing around. Also the explosion destroyed some of the stolen missiles.
Alvin held out his arm and fired at the left missiles. They blew up and destroyed everything around, but the Electro Magnetic core wasn't active so Alvin didn't have to worry about it.
The red cloud of the explosion flew high.
From the top of the cloud a little figure flew out and turned toward East.
Alvin inside the suit smiled; finally he did something good without killing anyone.
- Sirius, is the cloaking device working? - He asked.
- Negative, sir. The cloaking device hasn't been installed into the secondary suit yet.
- Then, we must hurry. - Said Alvin and sped up.
Edwards airbase.
In the control room was chaos. A few minutes ago an unknown vehicle showed from nowhere and nobody knew what it was and where it came from.
- What the hell was that? - Asked the Major of the base standing in front of the huge main screen. - Were we cleared to go in there?
- No, they were using human shields. - Said one of the officers. - We never got the green light.
- Put me through the State. - Ordered the Major. - They're going to be all over this. Get those monitors up.
There was silence for a while. Then a dark, murky figure showed up on all of the monitors.
- We got a boogey. - Yelled another officer.
- Wasn't Air Force. - Reported another one.
- We got the CIA on the line? - Asked the Major.
-I've got them on the line. They want to know if it's us.
- No. It's definitely not us. It wasn't Navy and Marine either.
- I need answers. - Demanded the Major. - Whose is that area?
A high pitched voice came from the ground.
- It's mine.
Everybody looked at the table where the owner of the voice stood. The speaker was the admiral of the Seventh Fleet. He was Simon Seville.
- Report, Major. - Simon ordered.
- We ran an ID check and cross- referenced with all known database. We have nothing.
- Any high altitude surveillance in the region?
- We got an AWAC and a Global Hawk in the area.
- So this thing just appeared from nowhere? How it didn't show up on the radar?
- Got a minimal radar cross-section, sir. – Reported an officer.
- Is it stealth? – Asked Simon.
- No, sir, it's tiny.
- We think it's an unmanned aerial vehicle.
- Admiral, can you tell what are we dealing with here? – Asked the Major.
Simon took his chin and began to search for ideas in his mind.
He had one but it was too crazy. It was crazy, but it had sense.
- Let me make a call. – He said Simon and walked a bit further from the men.
He dialed a number. It was Alvin's number. Simon thought the vehicle what they saw was in connection with Alvin's "big deal" what he had talked about.
In 14,000 meters altitude Alvin was flying over Afghanistan. He wasn't expecting that anybody would call him.
But all of the sudden the phone in the mask started ringing. First he thought he was hallucinating or just the pressure was playing a trick on him. But he realized the phone was really ringing.
- Hello?
- Alvin?
- Who's this? – Asked Alvin.
- It's Simon.
- Sorry, hello?
- I said it's Simon.
- Speak up please.
- What in the hell is that noise?
- Oh yeah, I'm driving with the top down.
- Really? Your Lamborghini Reventon doesn't even has…
- It hasn't. But The Galardo XX-2 has.
- Oh. Well, I need your help right now.
- It's funny how that works, huh?
- Yeah. Speaking of funny, we've got weapon depot that was just blown up a few clicks from where you were being held captive.
- Well… that's a hot spot. Sounds like… someone stepped in and… did your job, huh?
- Why do you sound out of breath, Alvin?
- I'm not. I was just jogging in the canyon.
- I thought you were driving.
- Right. I was driving to the canyon where I'm going to jog.
- You sure you don't have any tech in that area I should know about?
- Nope.
One of the officers exclaimed as he found the position of the boogey.
- Bogey spotted.
The major put a headset into his ear, pushed the button and spoke to one of the pilots of the two aircrafts.
- Whiplash, come in hot.
Simon continued talking to Alvin.
- Okay, good, 'cause I'm staring at one right now and it's about to be blown to kingdom come.
Behind of Alvin two F28 Kestrels showed up. He noticed them.
- That's my exit. – He said over the phone and hanging up he started spinning around and modifying his trajectory.
The aircrafts followed him as he was escaping.
- Ballroom, this is Whiplash One. I've got the Bogey in my sight. – Reported the pilot of the first F28.
- Whiplash One, what is it? – Asked Simon.
- I've got no idea. – Answered the pilot.
- You have radio contact? – Asked the major.
- Non responsive, sir.
- Then you are cleared to engage.
The pilot maneuvered the aircraft directly behind of Alvin and locked him.
But he hadn't luck. Alvin knew he was locked. He chose an order from the menu on the display of the mask and prepared for activating it.
The order was "Supersonic speed."
Alvin took a last look at the F28s and turned forward.
- Hit it. – He said.
He put his arms and his tail close to his body and sped up to Mach 3.
The pilot in the aircraft was surprised.
- That Bogey just went to supersonic. – He said. – I got a lock.
He launched one of the rockets under the wing. It was launched and locked Alvin's temperature sign.
Alvin's speed was 3,600 km/h; the rocket's speed was 4,000 km/h. It was faster so it was approaching Alvin very fast.
- Inbound missile. – Reported Sirius.
- Flares. – Ordered Alvin.
On his tight was a module which opened and began to launch the flares. It blew up the missile before it could reach Alvin. But the explosion got Alvin and flew him up.
The Kestrels had to avoid the cloud of the explosion.
- Wait a second. – Said the pilot. – Bogey deployed flares.
He got a lock again and fired with the machinegun on the front of the aircraft.
The bullets didn't hit Alvin, because he was too small, but if they had hit him, the hull wouldn't have been able to take the hits.
- Sirius, deploy flaps! – Ordered Alvin and he immediately slowed down.
The Kestrels had to avoid him as he flew away between them.
- Holy! – Exclaimed the pilot of the left one F28.
In the control room one of the officers spoke up.
- This thing just jumped off the radar, sir. The sat visual has been lost.
The other pilot's voice was audible.
- No way that's a UAV.
- What is it? – Asked Simon.
- I can't see anything. – Responded the pilot looking out the huge window.
- Whatever it was it just bought the farm. – Said the other pilot. – I think bogey's been handled, sir.
Everybody sighed. Then Simon's phone began to ring. He brought it out and saw Alvin's number on the screen.
He jumped down to the floor and walked further from the others.
- Hello?
- Hi, Si, it's me. – Said Alvin.
- It's who?
- I'm sorry, it's me. – Said Alvin and he pushed the 'it' a bit. – You asked. What you were asking about is, me.
- No, see, this isn't a game. You do not send civilian equipment into my active war zone. You understand that?
- This is not a piece of equipment. – Said Alvin groaning a bit. – I'm in it. It's a suit. It's me!
Simon almost dropped the phone. Looking at the screen he tried to fond Alvin but he wasn't visible on the sensors.
- Alvin, what the hell are you talking about?
- Listen, I was talking about something to you. I said I was building something big. That's it. It's a… damn battle suit. Got it?
- No. I say no. Alvin what you're talking about is impossible.
- Ask the kids. I showed it them when I tested it first time.
- Hold on. – Said Simon and hung up.
He dialled the number of Simon Junior and after a short time his son answered.
- Hey dad, wazzup?
- Hey Junor. Um, did Uncle Alvin show you anything… new? I mean anything what was built by him.
Simon Junior didn't answer for a while.
- Simon? Tell me.
- Why are you asking?
- Uncle Alvin told me he had built a battle suit. He has been almost killed by two F28s.
Simon could hear as his sons gasped.
- He is telling the truth. – Said Junior in panic. – He really showed the suit us. Dad don't let them kill Uncle Alvin. Please!
- Okay guys. I won't.
He hung up and dug in his hair. He dialled Alvin's number again.
- 'Sup?
- Simon has just told me you had showed the stuff them. Where the hell are you?
- I'm hanging on the hull of the main turbine of this F28. My arms are hurting. Could you call the aircrafts back?
- Nope. I'm sorry. This is my war zone, but the Kestrels aren't under my command. Also the Renegade isn't at the Indian Ocean. It's lying in Mumbai.
- I know. But I'm sure I'm going to fall down.
- Can't you solve this problem with your high-tech suit?
- Nope. I had a human sized one and I would've gone home in it, but it has been damaged and I had to blow it up. – Alvin sounded out of breath and this time he was literally tired. – Wait, I've got an idea. Stand by!
On the hull of the F28, Alvin was hanging and he wasn't going to be able to hold himself so long. Also if he just had let himself go, the turbine would have been going to occludes him. He wouldn't have been hurt but the aircraft would've been destroyed.
- Sirius, what about the core?
- It's at 58%.
- Is it enough to test the top speed?
- It is, but not so long.
- Okay. Get the rockets ready.
The rockets started scream. Alvin closed his eyes and let the hull go.
He fired the rockets but not in maximum capacity.
As he flew over off the F28, he showed up on the radar.
- Sir, the bogey is here again. – Reported Whiplash Two.
Before the pilot could just manoeuvre the aircraft, Alvin hit the order on the screen and he sped up.
He disappeared as fast as nobody had done before.
The pilots couldn't say what happened.
- Sir, the bogey has just sped up. I can't say its speed.
- Because it's impossible. – Said the Major. – Our sensors are picking up that the speed of the bogey is hypersonic; Mach 6,5.
Hearing the words everybody shut up; silence covered the whole room.
The humans haven't been able to reach the hypersonic yet. And now, they have just seen, somebody was able to reach and overrun it.
Simon was smiling; he knew what the others were watching was his brother's secret project. He was proud of Alvin.
In the air, on Mach 6.5, Alvin was sweating. He felt his bones were cranking and the speed caused unbearable pain in his ear and head.
Sirius was right when he had said they wouldn't be able to stay on Mach 6,5 for too long.
They had to stop.
With the help of the hydraulics, Alvin held out his paws and slowed down.
Soon his speed was 'only' 2,800 km/h.
He sighed under the suit and smiled.
- We've done it. – He said. – Sirius, call Simon.
After a couple of rings Simon answered.
- Hey Alvin, you just disappeared from our radars. How the hell did you went to hypersonic?
- Chipmunk body, chipmunk suit, chipmunk size, chipmunk mind. We're smarter than humans.
- Still, it's unbelievable. I've never thought I would say it, but… Congratulation, Alvin!
- Thank you, bro. Well, wanna come around and see it?
- I would be glad, but I have too much to do.
- As I remember I was the one who had always too much to do.
- Alvin, don't do that. I'm an admiral and I have two kids. I'm busy, you know.
- Of course I know. But you can come around whenever you want. My doors are opened for you.
- Thanks, Al. Love ya, bro!
- Love ya too. – Alvin hung up and continued flying to Los Angeles.
Brittany was searching for Alvin all day. Pjotr looked strange and suspicious, but she wasn't able to pull anything out of him.
She had already searched him even at Theodore's, but he hadn't been there.
She was still mad at him, because he had left her alone at the party. He had left Pjotr here as well. Fortunately they had been able to come home.
Brittany was searching for Alvin when she heard a strange noise.
She saw something flying by in front of the windows but she couldn't see what it was.
She walked down to Alvin's laboratory.
As she stepped in, through the glass-made door, she froze.
Brittany couldn't believe what she saw.
Alvin was tossing surrounded by machines that tried to set him free from a suit.
- Hey! Careful! Ouch! – Exclaimed Alvin.
- It's a tight fit, sir.
- Hey, my tail!
- Sir, the more you struggle the more this is going to hurt.
- I designed this to come off, so… Ouch! I said my tail!
Suddenly Brittany spoke up.
- What's going on here? – She asked with half terrified, half angry tune.
- Let's face it. – Said Alvin looking at Brittany. – This isn't the worst thing you've caught me doin'.
Brittany walked closer.
- Are those bullet hits?
- Yes, they are. – Answered Alvin.
Brittany jumped up on one of the machines, grabbed the armor on Alvin's tail and pulled it off.
Alvin screamed, but finally his tail was free.
Unfortunately the mass of whole hull of the tail part of the suit was two kilograms, so Brittany wasn't able to hold it. She dropped it and the metal tail landed on the floor with an ear hurting noise.
Twenty minutes later the machines and Brittany set Alvin free from the suit. When Alvin could move free, Brittany left the laboratory without a word. Alvin was sure she was mad.
He bandaged his main injuries (A few wound caused by the warped hull.) and got a drink.
He asked Pjotr to try to find out why the suit tightened; then he went up to the ground floor to find Brittany.
She was sitting on the couch in the huge living room and looking out the windows.
Alvin sat next to her saying nothing. He just watched the sea with Brittany for a while.
He didn't want to say anything because he knew if he said something in the wrong time, Brittany would be madder at him.
Also, Alvin didn't know what he should say.
Fortunately he didn't have to say anything. Brittany spoke up instead of him.
- Alvin, what have you created?
- Well, it's a battle suit.
- And why?
- You know, I built weapons and these weapons killed soldiers with families and kids. Also these weapons are stolen from me. I wanted to fix the things what I screwed up.
- But couldn't you send Sirius?
- These are my mistakes. I had to fix them. I made people and you to fix my mistakes, but now I changed. I don't want anybody, even Sirius, to fix MY mistakes.
Brittany turned to Alvin.
- You could've been murdered.
- Yes. But if I had been murdered it would've been problem, because I would've deserved it.
- Alvin…
- Brittany, I know you agree with me. Don't protest. – He sighed. – But now, I'm trying to change my life.
- But if you change your life, nobody will buy anything from your company. You will fall and you will be nobody. Again…
- Brittany, you don't understand it. It isn't about money. I don't care money anymore. I do not do what I do for money. I do it for my family. If somebody breaks the control system of one of my fusion rockets up and blows the Renegade up, I will lose my brother, my sister-in-law and my nephews. If somebody breaks the code of my secret rocket silos and launches one of the rockets at Theodore's house I will lost my whole family; just because I have the main weapon factory in the world.
- And you want to be the weapon instead of weapons, don't you? – Asked Brittany.
- Yes. But it isn't the full truth. You know, with that suit I can protect the most important thing in my life. I can protect you.
Alvin let it out. He has just told the truth Brittany. He has just told her that he loved her.
And it was the real admitting. It was serious enough to stay alive.
But Brittany couldn't answer anything. She was frozen. She has always thought Alvin didn't love her and she had nothing to do with her anymore.
- You mean… - She began.
- Yes, Britt. I meant I loved you.
Alvin took Brittany's paw. He has always wanted to touch her but he couldn't, because he had nothing to do with her. She was just his assistant and he was such a … bastard.
But now he, the big Alvin Seville softened and let his emotions control his body. He placed his paw on Brittany's shoulder and slipped it down.
In the next moment their lips just touched. Neither of them knew what they were doing.
Alvin kissed Brittany's lips and she just enjoyed the touch of Alvin's lips.
They tasted good.
Her dream turned into reality. She was kissing with the love of her life. She was kissing with Alvin.
Alvin wrapped his arms around Brittany's waist; Brittany wrapped her arms around Alvin's neck and pulled him closer.
Then the kiss slowly went to French and they tasted each other's tongue and mouth.
For a couple of minutes the world was nothing for them and they were flying in the heaven. The problems of the life and all worry disappeared.
When they pulled out of the kiss, both of them let out a happy, sigh.
The two, love-chipmunks were looking into each other's eyes.
Alvin was admiring Brittany's perfect nose, hey shiny eyes, her soft lips and her silky hair.
Brittany was completely lost in Alvin's hazel-brown eyes. She stared his handsome face and his dreamy lips.
- Alvin…
Before Brittany could say anything, Alvin played his index finger on her lips and hushed.
- Ssh! Don't say anything. Just enjoy the moment. – He said and turning toward the window he gently pulled Brittany closer to him.
Brittany laid her head on Alvin's chest and watched the see.
For an hour they forgot what Alvin had done in the other side of the Earth.
For an hour the world meant only the house and only their love.
Okay, nobody reads these author's notes so I just write it here:
I'm not good in action scenes. I mean I'm good, but not in English. It's not my business.
