Hotshot: The seventh chapter is here! Hopefully it will be longer than the last chapter but who knows, I hope you guys will enjoy and now, onto the chapter!
Chapter 7
The Bay, California
The water churned and battered against the ships and destroyers as jets that were in the air came falling from the sky, into the water and down below the surface. The soldiers looked at each other, confused. For some, this was their first time seeing something like this. Sure they saw burning jets crashing into the ocean after they got shot in old military footage, but never seemingly perfect jets falling from the sky, it just didn't make sense to them.
Then, there was a screech from hey above and they all looked and pointed their guns upwards and started to shoot whatever that was falling towards them. That was the last thing they saw before it came crashing on top of them, sending everything to the bottom of the bay.
For those on the waterfront, all they saw a creature tucking its wings to its body and crashing into the water. It was silent for a few moments, some of the people holding their breaths.
The creature suddenly bursts from the water and onto the road, revealing that it was the male Muto, carrying something in his beak-like jaws. He threw what he was carrying to the ground and started to tear into it. He put one large foot on the metal as he pulls a bomb from it. He transformed the bomb to one of his smaller arms before flaring his wings and gave a massive flap, lifting off of the ground and soared into the air.
The male landed on a building, watching as a massive cloud of smoke rolled towards him. He gave a call to the cloud and listened intently. He turned his head once a answering call sounded before transferring the bomb to his beak and flew off of the building and landed in front of the smoke. The smoke rolled back from the force of the landing, revealing a much bigger creature, looking exactly like the male but without wings and another pair of arms. The female had finally made it to San Francisco.
They both gave a loving growl, the female, pushed against the smaller's head with affection. The Male pushed up against the other happily before they pulled away and pressed their snout together, both taking some of the nuclear energy from the bomb. The female took the bomb and transferred it to one of her smaller arms before pressing it against her bulging, glowing stomach. The male watched before coming closer and nuzzled her stomach, cooing.
He went to the top of the building and with a roar, took off. Usually, He would give anything to stay and watch his mate lay their eggs, but their enemy was close, much too close to their liking.
Tactical Operations Command, Oakland, California
"Listen up, the male delivered the warhead to the center of downtown." Hampton informed the soldiers that stood around the table that has a map on it. "That will put a hundred thousand civilians in the blast radius. We cant stop it remotely."
"An analog timer has been installed in the warhead. The Mutos are frying electronic within a five-mile bubble." A captain named Quinn continued. "That means approaching by the ground isn't a option. That's why we'll be conducting a HALO drop. The jumping altitude will be thirty-thousand feet. We will just skate to the top and drop here and here." H pointed to two spots on a clear bowl that was over the map.
"If you don't hit a skyscraper on the way, meet at rally point Charlie, right here, good?"
"Doctor, any guesses where to look?" asked one of the soldiers.
"Underground, if the Mutos have spawned, They'll be building a nest." Serizawa answered.
"Captain, when you find the warhead, how long will it take to disarm it?" asked Stenz.
"Sir, without seeing the analog mod, I couldn't even guess." The captain answered truthfully with a sigh.
"Sixty second if I can access it." Ford interrupted as he walked up. "I retrofitted that device myself."
"Lieutenant Brody is our only EOD tech to survive the train attack." stated Hampton with his arms crossed.
"Well it sounds like we could use you." Quin told him.
"With all do respect." One of the soldiers spoke up. "If that doesn't work, then what's plan B?"
"The waterfront is located one klick downhill, get the bomb to the pier, onto a boat and as far away from the city as possible before it detonates."
"Any questions?" ask Hampton.
"I want to come." a voice piped up from beside Serizawa. Everyone turned to look at Kiyru. "I have some military experience, I know how to use practically all military guns and I studied up on the HALO jump. I'm ready for this." Stenz, Quin and Hampton glanced at each other. "Besides, you might need an extra hand at carrying the warhead."
"...Get suit up with Ford and meet us at the aircraft. Dismissed."
"That's it, let's move."
Kiyru walked outside, not looking at Serizawa or Graham, not wanting to see their reaction to her choice.
Before long, She was all suited up along with Ford. They were wearing all of the medatories for this jump. A green military uniform, parachute pack, Helmet, a pair of goggles, masks, gloves and a combat pack. The two stood next to the C-16, waiting to be boarded along with the others.
"Kiyru! Lieutenant Brody!"
The two looked and saw Serizawa running over, along with Graham a few paced behind him. He stopped in front of the two.
"I believe this belongs to you." Serizawa stated as he handed something to Ford. It was a photograph of Joe, his wife and a younger Ford, all looked happy. Serizawa then turn towards Kiyru as Graham came up behind him.
"Kiyru...I think it is time for me to finally pass this down." He told her as he grabbed her hand and slipped something small, and metal that was attached to a small chain. She opens her hand and a old pocket watch laid there.
"My father would have been proud to call you his granddaughter." Serizawa stated, placing a hand on her shoulder. "I am proud of you little one, you have grown so much since since you were a little girl." He kissed her forehead before Graham pulled her into a hug.
"Your father and I will be waiting." She told the younger.
"I'll try...ma." Kiyru murmured, causing Graham to tighten her grip and Serizawa to smile softly.
"Alright, time to board!" Quinn's voice cut through the air. Graham slowly let go and took a step back and beside Serizawa, their hands slowly intertwining with each other.
The soldiers, Ford and Kiyru got on board and sat.
"Your parents would be very proud of you." Kiyru spoke up, causing Ford to look at her. He smiled slightly before leaning back in his seat. Kiyru looked out of the hatch. As the ramp slowly start to close, She saw Serizawa and Graham watching until the ramp finally was locked into place and they lifted off.
