Ito Ai: A New Dawn

Chapter 44: Military Base Part Two

"So what do we do now?" Mai asked as she looked out over the military base that was crawling with different kinds of machina. There were the first type and second types along with some Mai had never seen before. 

"Nothing yet. Look to the northwest." Ai said, off in the distance there was a group of three people looking out over the base just like they were.

"Humans?" Mai shivered. She felt more afraid of other humans than the machina since humans would do more than just kill two young girls.

"Yes humans, Age ranges from fifteen to forty from the looks of it. One of which is wearing a military uniform. Oh The youngest is looking this way, Wonder if he spotted us." Ai frowned. She did not want to deal with any humans while trying to sneak into the base. 

"What should we do then?" Mai wondered if they had come all the way out here for nothing now. 

"Well Most of the machina are on their side. If they are smart they will work their way this way. But, this also brings a great risk to them since they may end up getting seen in the process. We are south and the east side is where the least amount of machina are. If we were to go into the base from that direction we may have a chance. So Mai Want to walk through the fires of hell with me?" Ai's eyes lit up. What they were going to do was very dangerous but there was enough cover on the path Ai had chosen to get from the east side of the base to the main buildings. the chances of success are fifty/fifty.

"Ai, I will not lie, I really don't want to but, I promised I would follow you into hell. " Mai replied. Her palms were already sweating. Just a single machine was enough to scare her so bad that she would wet here self now she was willingly going into a group of a few hundred to sneak into the military base.

"Just do things the way we trained. Stay low and always keep an eye out for the first types. If you get caught, do not hesitate to shoot and retreat. Let's gear up before we head in." Ai said as she pulled out the bullet proof vest from her bag. They didn't bring all the riot gear they took from the police car that day, just the two bullet proof vests. This was because Ai knew this would not be an easy task and mobility was key but they could not go in without some form of protection. 

"Mmm I will stay right behind you." Mai was still not sure about this but she knew that they needed more weapons. In order to survive sometimes, you needed to risk it all. 

"Okay follow me..." Ai said leaving their hiding spot and wrapping around the hillside towards the east side.

On the northwest side, a young man around fifteen years of age had not taken his eyes off the two girls from the very start. "They are moving."

"Oh? They leaving altogether?" A middle aged man asked.

"No, it seems they are going to actually try to enter the base. Here look." The young man replied as he passed the binoculars to the middle aged man. 

"The hell kind of weapon is that?" The middle aged man couldn't understand what the strange weapon was that the two girls were holding.

"If I am right they modified the machine guns from the robots with the guns on them. It seems these two have a pretty good understanding on how to survive in this world. They also have bullet proof vests. So my guess is their hands are not clean." The young man could tell from the look in the girls' eyes that they were wary of him and his team. The cold look in the girl's eyes that was in the lead was one that saw everyone around her as an enemy. 

"Damn Wish I had one Too bad it will be lost when they get killed in there. I wonder how long they will last." One of the middle aged men let out a sigh. He hated to see young ones die but he couldn't shout out to stop them without gaining the attention of the machina. 

"I am not sure but best not to underestimate them. They are not going in blindly from the looks of it. Look how the one in the front moves and then pauses to check her surroundings before signaling her friend. It seems they have trained a bit." The young man explained. He could tell each of Ai's steps were very careful and ever the girl following her was light in her steps as well. There was no way their actions would be so natural if they had not at least put some training in.

"So what do we do now?" a young man around nineteen years of age asked.

"We wait. And if needed, we become decoys." The young man in the front suddenly said, causing the other two teammates to give the young man a weird look. 

"Hey now! Eiji did you lose your mind? Or did you smoke some kind of drug this morning? Become decoys!?" The middle aged man couldn't help but raise his voice a bit.

"Then the two of you leave. I have nothing to offer those who are too much of a pussy to help out two young girls in need." Eiji replied, giving them all a cold stare.

"Damnit! If I go back without you I will be killed by your father. If I run away I will be killed by those damn machines!" The nineteen year old young man complained.

"No, by the time you turned around to walk away, you would already be dead." Eiji played with the pistol in his hand causing the nineteen year old young man's face to pale.

"Fuck you are just like your old man!"
