Alert? or perhaps a mystery?; remnant of glorious battle dissappears

-Kasnyian News Service-

Dock workers are baffled as they went to Dock 67-C, the resting place of Object 52 (formerly known as the HGMS Mercy until it was seized by Ducal authorities after the Ganosian government was overthrown by Shoa Conn). The ship had played a minor role in the Battle of Vallahalla as a potential getaway vehicle for Ganosian sailors. Afterwards however, the ship was forgotten with the intent of having the ship scrapped or put under the Kasnyian flag (it is officially a medical ship).

Then, late last night, it was noted that the ship had dissappeared from the harbor. This morning it has been seen that it is indeed true. The Mercy has disappeared.

There are reports now that it is indeed possible (even after these many months) that members of the crew of the Vallahalla could have escaped to the ship and had used it as a hiding place. Though there had been suspicions, local authorities assumed that any combatants who had made it to the ship would try to flee at once. This has not been the case.

More will come as the story breaks

Remember this guys? I managed to find it on Google. I'll just post it here for reference-

Out of character-

This is part one of a two part finale to this plot
-----------------------------------------------------------

Bijj- Gr...grah...grrrr..l-lieutenant...are you still alive?

First Officer- Aye sir..but beaten up bad.

Bijj- Try getting stabbed...cough.....

First Officer- The enemy is in the missile bay, above the gas.

Bijj- Send everyone....we have....left....and take them....all down.

First Officer- Aye sir.

Bijj- And hurry....we have only an hour....Then this ship will self-destruct.

First Officer- I'll lead them myself.

--------------------------------------------------------

Hollus- Okay, are all you guys in position?

Tech Teams- AYE SIR!

Hollus- Start Operation Tango now.

All at once, the radiation-suited teams, eye-level with the maintence panels for each missile, opened them and began trying to extract the fuses as well as the core of each missile.

Tech Engineer- Captain, sir. We've been able to create a process to disarm these missiles. We have to remove the mainetence panel, then the anti-electromagnetic mesh, and then the mechanism that keeps the radioactive core in place. Once we take that out, we can then get rid of the fuses.

Captain Hollus- Proceed.

Tech Engineer- Aye sir.

Telis- Hey HOLLUS!

Captain Hollus- What?

Telis- We got incoming!

Captain Hollus- Hold them, my men still have thirty more missiles to disarm.

Felth- THIRTY! We thought you'd be nearly done by now!

Captain Hollus- And run the risk of setting them off? I think not.

Telis- Alright, alright, we'll hold these guys off just get your men to work faster.

Captain Hollus- Aye.

Within moments however, the ship filled with gunfire as every remaining Ganosian sailor started attacking their position.

Telis- Since when did these guys grow backbones?

Felth- Who knows. Or cares. Let's just kick some rebel butt.

Telis- We're outnumbered....

Felth- ...Never a problem before...

Telis- Someone smart must be leading them....

Captain Hollus(On radio)- WOULD YOU GUYS KINDLY STOP JABBERING!?! THEY'RE TRYING TO COME FROM THE HOLES IN THE TOP DECK!!

Telis- We're on our way.

The firefight worsens as ganosians throw some well-aimed grenades in the munnitions bay and blows the whole room apart, killing a quarter of the allied troops.

Telis- HOLD THEM, HOLD THEM! DON'T LET THEM GET THROUGH!

Felth- My men are nearly gone! I'm falling back to the catwalks!

Telis- Arrgh! EVERYONE! HOLD THEM OFF JUST A LITTLE LONGER GUYS!

As the firefight continues, the Kasnyian Missile Team finishes disarming their 10th missile.

Tech Engineer- Ten down, captain!

Captain Hollus- Just keep-

Intercom- 42 minutes until self destruct.

Captain Hollus- WHAT!

He grabs his radio.

Captain Hollus- Telis! did you-

Telis(On radio)- I heard. We've got them at a stalemate now, but we can't last much longer. How many down?

Captain Hollus- Hold on...

Tech Engineer- Thirteen down sir.

Captain Hollus- ......Thirteen.

Telis(On radio)- At this rate we'll be overrun! HURRY UP!

Felth(On radio)- My men will do what we can.

------------------------------------------------------

First Officer- How are they holding?

Sailor- They are firm for now, but it is only a matter of time before my men breakthrough them.

First Officer- Just kill those engineers.

Sailor- Aye, sir.

------------------------------------------------------

Bijj- Ganos, my...Savior....shield me from the....hells of the infadel.....May my soul...and the soul of t-the...world...be cleansed..........

------------------------------------------------------

Tech Engineer- 17 missiles disabled sir!

Captain Hollus- KEEP GOING!

Telis(On radio)- My lines are failing captain, as is my patience! How many more!

Captain Hollus- 19 more. We're going as fast as we can-

Felth(On radio)- So are they! Get a move o-ARGH!

Captain Hollus- Felth...FELTH!

Telis(On radio0- He's dead!

Captain Hollus- DAMN!

Telis- How many down now?

Captain Hollus- ......22.

Telis- Okay, we can hold on just a little longer......

-------------------------------------------------------

Bijj- .....may the...ever forgiving...prophets....understand..m-my cause...graahh..
-------------------------------------------------------

First Officer- How are we doing?

Sailor- We're losing men in droves. Some have suggested that we abandon-

First Officer- Complete that sentence and I'll execute you on the spot. D'you hear me?

Sailor- A-aye, sir.

First Officer- Good. Go back to the armory and get whatever we have left. That includes the bazookas. If we can't kill the engineers, we're gonna shoot one right into the missile bay....just get your men close enough to get a clean shot.

Sailor- Aye, sir.

------------------------------------------------------

Intercom- 25 minutes until Self-Destruct.

Telis- Yeah, yeah, SHUT UP you stupid computer.....

------------------------------------------------------

Tech Engineer- 29 missiles! Almost done!

Captain Hollus- Telis, we're at 29!

Telis- Okay, but don't celebrate yet, my men are down to three squadrons and are badly hurt. we also have less than half an hour before the ship blows itself right out of the water!

Captain Hollus- What about Felth's men?

Telis(On radio)- They all snuffed it soon after Felth did. And what's left of your marines are trying to draw their fire, with increasingly less success. It's just my men now.

Captain- We have 31 missiles accounted for.

Telis- ....if we don't make it out of here, Then let me just say it was good working with you. Definately worth going against orders.

Captain- Glad you stayed, colonel.

-------------------------------------------------------

Bijj- .....may they f-forgive me....for my sins...and for..ugh...this neccessary...cleansing....of....the....world...
-------------------------------------------------------

Sailor- I have refitted my strongest men with the bazookas.

First Officer- Are they still holding.

Sailor- Aye, but only just. Another wave and they are finished.

First Officer- Carry on then.

-----------------------------------------------------

Intercom- 17 minutes remain until..

Telis- Self destruct. Yeah I know, tell me something NEW why don't you?

Corporal- Sir, we lost another squad! They're closing in!

Telis- Well then. We just keep going.

Corporal- But-

Telis- We are Norightsians. Warriors. We fight to the last man.

Corporal- Aye sir.
-------------------------------------------------------

Bijj- ....may Ganos......purify the evil...in this world...may He give....forgiveness to those....who would....stop us......

Bazooka Sailor- Sir! We're in position!

Sailor Commander- NOW!

Soon over 20 bazooka armed sailors rush the Norightsians position just infront of the munnitions bay entrance as they are given cover by their Ganosian bretheren.

Bazooka Sailor- FOR GANOS!

With that, the Norightsians attempt to shoot down the bazooka-wielding lunatics while defending themselves from the others firing on them. Soon however, one of the bazooka sailors break through and makes his way into the destroyed munnitions bay.

Telis- Oh no you don't. GET BACK HERE!

With that, just as the sailor fires into the missile bay, Telis tackles him to the ground and knocks him out. The missile however...

Captain Hollus- TAKE COVER!!!

The missile zooms overhead and slams into one of the missiles. However, instead of detonating, it merely remains lodged in the missile's outer casing. It's a dud.

Captain Hollus- Talk about luck!

Telis- Seriousl-

But he never finishes the sentence. Because just then the Norightsian defense line collapsed and the Ganosians poured in shooting. Telis, with his submachine gun, wheeled around.

Telis- EAT THIS YOU BASTARDS!

With that he started pumping the rebel's guts full of hot lead, killing as many as two dozen before they managed to get a shot at him in the chest.

Telis- Ah...argh....Sorry guys....but I'm done....

And he fell over, dead.

Captain Hollus- Everyone report in

Radio- ...............

Captain Hollus- This is the Kasnyian Marine Captain, I say again report in. Kasnyian forces, what's going on?

Radio- ...............this is Corporal Bein, we got about ten guys left. The Norightsians got fried, but got the whole wave. We're done for, but we'll give you guys cover for as long as we can. Hurry captain, I think they have enough men for one last wave.

Captain Hollus- Roger that, corporal. How much more time guys?

Tech Engineer- We got 35 missiles, we just need-

Intercom- 8 minutes until ship goes into Self-Destruct.

Captain Hollus- We don't have time to disengage the other three. We just lost all of our weapons support. Pick up your gear guys, we're.....pulling out.

Tech Engineer- But the missiles! We can't-

Captain Hollus- DON'T ARGUE! WE GOTTA GET OFF THIS SHIP NOW!

Tech Engineer- Aye, sir. Alright everyone, pick up your gear. We're done.

Captain Hollus- Base Command, Base Command, do you read?

Base Commander(On radio)- We read you Team Leader, what's your status?

Captain Hollus- Everyone is dead sir, except for about ten grunts and the Operations Team. The rest bought it. I am ordering us to pull out.

Base Commander(On radio)- What about the mission? Was it a success?

Captain Hollus- We managed to dismantle the warheads of about 35 missiles, but we won't be able to finish the job. We only got eight minutes before this ship blows.

Base Commander(On radio)- You have a duty to prefrom solider-

Captain Hollus- A duty that cannot be fufilled given the sitiuation. We have no fire support, the enemy is about to overrun us, we don't have enough time to dismantle.....it's a lost cause, Commander.

Base Commander(On radio)- .....fine. I authorize your request to pull out our forces.

Captain Hollus- Aye, sir.

------------------------------------------------------

Bijj- May the gifts of....purity reach...the need..y.....cough...grhaah.....May the...souls of...the world be free.....

------------------------------------------------------

Captain Hollus- You ready?

Tech Engineer- Aye, sir.

Captain Hollus- Then LET'S GO!!

They all make a break for the stairwell opposite the entrance to the munnitions bay, just barely escaping detection. Soon however, the rebels realize that they had fled and start to give chase.

Captain Hollus- GO! GO! GO!

Soon they are back on the second floor (by now the gas had filled the entire lower part of the ship) and ran along the corridor, looking for yet another stairwell that would lead them toward the surface deck.

Intercom- Four minutes til Self-Distruct.

Captain Hollus- COME ON! COME ON!

They made it to the surface deck, slightly blinded by the daylight. Meanwhile, the rebels started to shoot at them from the windows of the bridge.

Captain Hollus- We're almost there! ARGH!

One of the rebels got a lucky hit, getting him in the back. While, by no means, dead, he was incapacitated.

Captain Hollus- LEAVE ME! GET OFF THE SHIP!

Tech Engineer- SIR!

But just as the techie turns around, a bullet bursts his face wide open, dropping him right beside the captain.

Captain Hollus- DAMN! NOOOOO!

By then, the rest of the team made it off the ship. As they do so, the rebels retreat back into the ship, apparently satisfied.
--------------------------------------------------------

First Officer- Captain, it's me.

Bijj- L-lieutenant....?

First Officer- We got them sir. And we still have three missiles left.

Bijj- Then...I must halt...the...countdown.....

Bijj crawls toward the main console on the bridge, creating a streak of blood across the floor.

Computer- T minus 1:43

Bijj- Must....imput...fail safe....

Computer- T minus 1:32

Bijj- Fail...safe...authorization Alpha Alpha Urban Charlie...commanding...officer of....the Vallahalla....

Computer- T minus 1:03

Bijj- Gahh...damn it....authorization...Alpha Urban Alpha Charlie...COMMANDING OFFICER OF THE VALLAHALLA...argh.....

Computer- T minus 0:31

Bijj- ...Nooo...authorization....Alpha Alpha Charlie Urban...Commanding....o-officer of the Vallahalla....grahh...

Computer- .....Authorization recognized. Techi Bijj, Captain of the HGMS Vallahalla. Self-Destruct Sequence stopped at T-minus 0:11.

Bijj- ...ahahahha.....aHA...HA...HA...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

First Officer(On radio)- Sir, have you stopped the countdown?

Bijj- Of...course...I am...Bijj....loyal...servant...of Ganos....

------------------------------------------------------

In the missile bay, the First Officer is inspecting the damage.

First Officer- One shot we get and it's a dud. Rather lucky actually...

Just then however, the back end of the missile starts to spark.....

--------------------------------------------------------

Bijj- Shoa....though...ghraagh...that he could stop...me....he is....a mere...fool.

Bijj gets on the radio.

Bijj- Lieutenant....it is time we...paid did our final....duty, we-

First Officer(On radio)- Uh...sir.

Bijj- Dare...you...interrupt me?

But the First Officer was oddly calm.

First Officer(On radio)- Uh sir.....there was a rocket lodged into a missile from one of our bazookas during battle. It didn't go off immediately but....

Bijj- You mean...

First Officer(On radio)- I have failed you and Ganos, my Captain.

Bijj- .......Oh damn.

---------------------------------------------------

In the missile bay, the First Officer and the few men left in the crew solemnly salute the missiles as the bazooka rocket's fuse fires nearly half an hour after the fact.

The result is instantanious. With the missile fully loaded with liquid Hydrogen, the explosion of the rocket is magnified times 100- thus setting off a chain reaction.
Soon, the entire ship bceomes engulfed in the super explosion, some of the missiles even flying a few hundred feet in the air before they come crashing back down on top of the ship.

As for the three missiles that hadn't had their warheads disabled, two managed to fly; the other had fallen into the shallow water from the destroyed bottom of the silo. One of them was destined to Synar City in Synar. The other was Lal Ammochostos.

But for the City of Crystal Harbor....it could go back to peace....or so they thought.
