All of You

Launch

Amara

We reached the lower deck of the carrier. Ada was dead, and my leg hurt like hell even though I told them I was alright.

"This is makin' me seasick. You think this tub is gonna last much longer?" Piers asked as soon as place rocked.

"I don't wanna hang around to find out. Come on!" Chris urged, moving forward.

We entered further in, finding ourselves locked outside the rear hanger. There were three separate passcodes that we needed to find. Chris found the first passcode right beside a dead body, which meant that someone else was already here before us. Piers opened the door, revealing a new type of BOW which was utterly disgusting. It seemed to be feeding on a crew member until it noticed us. Chris shot first, but the BOW separated into two and continued to attack us. Chris and Piers shot separately at the BOW, but it didn't seem to die. I pushed them to move on, just in case they came back alive sooner than we'd like. We entered the kitchen when suddenly the tub rocked again, knocking down a gas canister which ignited. The doors were sealed shut and the sprinkler system activated. While waiting for the fire to get put out, another one of those BOWs emerged from the vents. We took it down, but its hand got detached. Before it could attack us, I grabbed hold of it and shoved it inside the microwave. I turned the heat all the way up and the hand exploded inside.

"Finally! Let's get outta here!" Chris exclaimed the moment we could leave the room.

We headed into a storage room where one of the passcodes was inside. Chris and Piers opened up the door, but Chris was suddenly dragged in by the BOW. Piers and I provided cover from outside. As soon as Chris took out the BOW, Piers and Chris re-opened the door. Chris took the second passcode, and we were off to the crew quarters to grab the next one. The corridors were dimly lit, so we had to use our flashlights to guide us through. The BOWs were a nuisance as they came out simply from nowhere. We managed to get the last of them and made our way back. Chris inserted all three passcodes and we entered. Chris and Piers were ahead of me when they were suddenly attacked by the BOWs. They were thrown back onto a pipe with boiling water right underneath them. I assisted in killing the BOWs before stretching a hand out to both of them. Piers got back on his feet just in time before the pipe fell into the fire.

"Thanks," Piers said, still holding onto my hand.

I stared at him and raised an eyebrow. He looked down and quickly retreated his hand, a blush forming on his cheeks. Chris had moved on ahead, so I went to catch up with him while Piers followed behind me. We entered the rear hangar where there were two planes.

"Let's get it fired up," Chris said as he entered the first plane.

I nodded to Piers to get on Chris' while I went to the other plane. I pressed a few buttons, starting up the jet.

"You know how to use that thing?" Piers asked through radio.

"Call me Top Gun, baby," I chuckled, getting ready to fly off on Chris' orders.

I looked over to Chris and he gave a thumbs-up. Chris' jet went off first. I waited a few seconds before I left. HQ radioed us, saying that they've located the aircraft carrier and that there were anti-aircraft artilleries on board.

"Two planes against an entire carrier? Does that even sound possible?" Piers asked doubtfully.

"How's your aim, Piers?" Chris asked next.

"Never better!"

"Amara?"

"Hell yeah," I replied, turning the control wheel to the left. "I'll cover the other side of the carrier!"
