Reborn in KHR but as a GIRL!

Chapter 28 - Night raid

AN: I know another week with only two chapters, I can only apologise for this as My illness struck again. Other than being lethargic this morning, the past couple of days have been downright painful. Thankfully it seem as though my illness has settled down, as I am feeling somewhat normal as I can get. I won't bore you with details regarding it and I hope you enjoy this chapter as an apology.

I wake up slowly from what was a pleasant dream and sit up with a sigh; I look to the alarm clock on the dresser and see it's a quarter to twelve. Great fifteen to twenty minutes till things go sideways in all manner of ways, getting out of bed I grumble as I go about my routine not forgetting to put my hair up in a bun. Once presentable I leave the room and quietly make my way to the control room to keep an eye on things, on the way I pass the kitchen and make myself a sandwich and grab a coffee knowing it's going to be a long night. Once I reach the control room I sit at the surveillance desk and look through the monitors, looking for any hint that there is something wrong but not finding anything immediate on them.

Other than local wildlife almost getting too close I'd say that the area is calm almost too calm, considering what's going to happen or rather what should happen there should be signs of something at least... I'm broken out of my musing when I see Tsuna and Takeshi meet up and discuss hearing a noise, only for ten year Kyoya to interrupt holding Uri by the scruff causing me to sigh. Once they break up to go back to bed I glance at the external monitors and freeze, it shows the base entrances being swarmed by hundreds at each one! I shake Gianini awake roughly before hitting the alarm to alert the others.

"Wha?" (Gianini)

"We are under attack Gianini! Activate the defences!" (Aloy)

A series of explosions wrack the base hard before we can even consider doing anything else, I look to the internal monitors and see that the explosions have torn through right into the training areas. I hit up Kusakabe on coms.

"Kusakabe have they hit your section of the base?" (Aloy)

"They have down to the training area, what about yourselves?" (Kusakabe)

"Twenty to thirty feet holes directly down to ours, they are also flooding the entrances and taking out the security along the way. I'm going to grab the others and head for evac route beta, do you concur?" (Aloy)

"Concur; we'll link up at the pre-planned point.... Good luck." (Kusakabe)

After cutting the link I nod to Reborn before putting on my helmet and heading for Hatch F, as I don't need to listen to the commentary over Kyoya's actions alongside their decision. It's all pre-planned anyway so what should I care? I shouldn't right? I sigh and shake my head at the thought because no matter what I do this shit will happen, I reach F gate and lean against the wall of the ramp putting my helmet on in the process. Whilst waiting my suit picks up the signals from the coms the others are wearing, which means the data packet from Gianini has fully integrated with the armour thankfully meaning coms should stay clear. The gang arrives with Chrome and Lal in tow so I just hold my hand up already seeing the protest on Lal's face.

"We don't have time to argue Lal nee so I'm not going to bother, all I will say is this don't forget I am also a guardian... SO LET'S GO!!" (Aloy)

After my shout I start running but as I turn around I catch her sour look as she sighs in resignation, sorry Lal even though I'd much rather wait it out I am a part of the family and as such I am obligated to take part. Though that said it's my hope that this part proceeds smoother now that I'm with them, that and a healthy and prepped Chrome is with us should help the odds too. It takes us the better part of 15 minutes to hit the residential district before I get an update from Kusakabe.
