The Hawaiian Special Forces

Chapter 65

"WOOHOO!" Kanuha shouted from the pilots' cabin. There'd been a bit of nervousness as they submitted their flight path, but everything had gone through smoothly. Having all the records of pilots' licenses at the school made things much easier.

They were in a small plane that would get them to Honolulu in a little under an hour. The flight itself became boring fairly quickly. Even the eager pilots soon became bored with holding a level course. At one point, Wikolia complained, ::If flying is this boring, I never want to steal a car.::

They landed without incident and dispersed from the plane before the ground crew understood what had happened. From there, it was a simple matter to make their way to the presidential palace on the outskirts of the city. At that point, they were forced to stop and carefully analyze what was before them.

::Thermal imaging. Video. Motion sensors. Electrified fencing. Security towers with snipers both on the walls and on the inner compound. We will not be getting in without causing casualties,:: Aoloa determined.

::They made themselves our enemy,:: Hokulani stated coldly. ::We've always taken out our enemies swiftly and efficiently.::

They all nodded. Aoloa pulled up their HUDs and issued orders through it. Two would hit each of the four corners of the outer wall, taking out the snipers and using their weapons to take out the inner snipers. The remaining two would go over the walls at the center of the long sides. A total of six would go in the compound itself while four remained outside to handle the counterstrike that was guaranteed to come.

Once inside, the goal was to locate and secure President Jarvison as quickly as possible. At that point, they would be in a position to issue their demands. Simultaneously, an announcement would be sent to all news media indicating there was an active hostage situation at the presidential compound. The goal was simply to attract as much media as possible to reduce the feasibility of special forces being used against them.

Their HUDs suddenly filled in the details of the compound as Lopaka and Hokulani cracked through the security system. Their job suddenly got easier. With that, everyone moved out. Hitting the corner turrets went smoothly, followed immediately by the inner sniper turrets going down. Thirty seconds into the mission, six of them were racing across the compound to the main building. No alarm had been raised.

Entering the building is when things started to go south. The guards were using primitive, short range radios. The result was the alarm was raised,even as the first few guards were taken down. Worse, the sound of gunshots carried within the building, causing people to start appearing almost instantly.

Aoloa charged at the front, using guns he'd lifted from guard he'd slashed open with his claws. His HUD lit up as the security systems began working to usher the president to the secure bunker. They continued charging down halls, getting knocked around by random gunfire, but generally uninjured, thanks to their armor.

Hitting a stairwell, they dropped down rapidly in leaps, hitting the basement in a matter of seconds and bursting out on the Jarvison and his elite guard. The guards dropped almost instantly with bullets to their heads, leaving a quaking white man facing six attackers.

"Let's go into your safe room, Mr. President. We have some things to discuss." With those words, Lopaka opened the safe room and the seven of them entered. A few minutes later, the remaining four members of their team entered the safe room and it was sealed from the inside.

Jarvison was guided to a seat, where he stumbled down to a sitting position. At the same time, the rest of the colony took in the various monitors and displays, observing the efforts of the remaining guards to determine where they'd gone.
