322 A Flying Ship

V drove them to the dock where the ship was anchored, once there they leave the car behind and John says, "I am too tall to make this mission successful if we are doing it stealthily. So I will be staying around here until I think I can approach you without causing the enemy to see me."

"You are right," says Rogue finding that John was right with his statement of not being stealthy enough while Nesiara only rolled her eyes at him being lazy.

The women continued moving toward the dock. They stopped at the corner and V looked around it seeing the Maelstrom patrol the area.

"They are patrolling heavily around the area. They must be paid quite well or they respect Smasher for being almost a machine," says V seriously as she hacks two of the Maelstrom passing the entrance.

They begin to shake wildly as if they were electrocuted before falling over. V then gives the signal to move forward and the trio begins to move.

V grabs one of the bodies while Nesiara grabs the other before they throw them in the trash. Then they lean against the wall avoiding the surveillance camera from catching them.

"Take care of the surveillance system," says Rogue to V whose eyes turned blue for a moment before the camera stopped working and her eyes turned back to normal.

"Good job," says Nesiara praising V before they move again.

They walk towards the entrance when they see at least ten Maelstrom members guarding it when Nesiara asks, "Do we have some duct tape?"

"I like your thought," says Rogue pulling out a roll while V looked at them confused.

"You are too young to even know this trick," says Nesiara to V as they retreated and went the other way.

They stood under a window that is made out of glass when Nesiara uses one of her scythes as a mirror to look at what was going on inside before she says, "The coast is clear."

Rogue begins to tape the corner near the handle to open the window and V looks at their actions confused before Rogue uses her elbow and breaks the window without making loud noises or the glass falling to the ground.

She then opens the window and they jump inside entering a small office that didn't have anyone inside it.

They saw a PC and V goes towards it while Nesiara and Rogue were on the lookout so nobody would interrupt V.

"Don't turn the lights out it will only alarm them," whispers Rogue seriously as she was holding her gun.

"It would be far easier if we turned the lights off and I just sweep them all away in the dark," whispers Nesiara to herself when Rogue looks at her confused.

"Did you say anything?" whispers Rogue as Nesiara only sighs.

"Just talking to myself," says Nesiara when they suddenly hear the crane moving.

"What is going on?" ask the both of them at the same time.

"I am moving one of the ship containers. This should cut the way off for the Maelstrom and make an opening for us," says V as she was following her gut feeling.

She then pushes a button and the container falls from the sky before smashing some of the Maelstrom members while cutting the way off for the remaining members.

"What do you understand under stealth?" asks Rogue confused with V's action.

"It might not be old-time stealth but what I would call stealth," says V when Johnny appears in the middle of the room.

"That is more like my style. I like you girl," says Johnny joking about what V just did.

"Shut it, Johnny. Or I will ask Graves to castrate you," says V threatening the engram in her head who backed away.

"Alright, Alright, I will leave you alone, your Highness," says Johnny sarcastically before disappearing again.

John who was outside leaning against the car heard something crash down and he summoned Yamato and Omega in his hands before he ran and jumped towards where the noise came from.

He landed on the container and looks into the office seeing the group before he says earnestly, "You continue, I will take care of the Maelstrom."

Nesiara nods and grabs Rogue and V before running at a wall head first when Rogue and V begin to scream out of reflex when a sword passed them destroying the wall for them.

They could see the sword pulse like a heart would before it floats in front of them and passes them again to return to its owner.

"Thanks," says Nesiara to John as she runs towards the ship to use their advantage on the enemy that still doesn't know what was going on.

John on the other hand looked at the Maelstrom and turns into his True Devil Trigger before saying coldly, "Some of you might survive this battle thanks to your enhancement. But the others, well let's say those that survive will need to buy some tombstones for them."

John then jumped at the terrified mass as they have never seen a real demon before and Omega wasn't helping in this either since it seemed to pulsate faster like a heart under adrenaline.

John disappeared out of their view appearing behind them when he whispers but everyone could hear it, "Let the slaughter begin."

He swings Omega slashing through three of them before using Yamato to cut through four more as his blue skin was covered in blood.

The Maelstrom wanted to begin to shoot at him but John couldn't allow that since it would alarm the people on the ship. He threw Omega at the enemy and the sword suddenly duplicated itself in the eyes of the Maelstrom.

In reality, it only created images of itself using John's Demonic Energy which killed the remaining Maelstrom members.

John sighs at this and appears before his sword before saying, "There really isn't a challenge in this world for us."

In the meantime with Nesiara's group, they arrived at the ship and Rogue looks at V before saying, "Pull such a stunt again and I won't give you any gigs. I can't have unprofessionalism in my gigs."

"What I thought it was a good idea," says V defending herself.

John would be on her side if he was there since it helped him a lot in killing the enemy faster by cornering it.

But Nesiara had to agree with Rogue since they agreed on a stealthy approach for this mission and she says, "It would have been a great idea if we went with an open attack and not a stealthy attack."

V only sighs after hearing Nesiara when she sees Nesiara's disappointment with her making V feel bad because she knew how much confidence the couple has in her.

"I am sorry, it won't happen again," says V trying to apologize as Rogue looked at V confused before looking at Nesiara.

"Anyway, it won't help to go in stealthy since they must have heard the container impacting with the ground," says Rogue as Nesiara pulls her guns out while placing her mask over her face.

V followed as she was holding the Ace of Spade while Rogue looked at her gun before looking at the guns of the other when she says, "Those weren't produced on this planet, am I right."

"Quite right, the gun she has was gifted to her by me and John," says Nesiara as they walk the stairs up.

They reach the top and walk onto the deck of the ship which still had some containers on it. Nesiara could see some ghosts walking on it making her angry as it became visible to the other two by seeing Nesiara's hair fly up while it became bright red as if it could burn the air at any moment.

"Let us end this fast," says Nesiara angry as she rushed forwards at a speed that Rogue couldn't follow while V only could see a shadow so fast was Nesiara moving at the moment.

"We should join her or she might kill Smasher alone," says V as she rushed right behind Nesiara at an abnormal speed making Rogue sigh.

"Am I the only normal person here?" asks Rogue herself before rushing behind them.

John was sitting on the crane looking down upon the action as he sees Nesiara killing the enemy slowly when he says, "They must have pissed her off somehow."

Nesiara was shooting at the limbs first blowing them apart and torturing her opponents slowly before killing them.

V was standing before the last enemy on the ship when he plead for his life while saying some bullshit to preserve his life.

Rogue and V were talking about what to do when Nesiara shot his dick off. John was seeing his wife and knew that he needed to get what he wanted from the ship now.

He jumps from the crane and landed at the stern and walked towards a door which was locked via a keycard. He punches the door making it fly into the room.

John was now inside Smasher's cabin. He grabbed everything that could help V later on when he feels the ship shake.

"It has already begun," says John to himself as he rushes out of the cabin.

Nesiara already killed their prisoner and Rogue as well as V didn't have anything against it since it was quite a brutal death compared to what they have experienced before since Nesiara peeled the skin from him as a person would do to an organic orange.

Nesiara got all the information V and Rogue wanted thanks to her cruel method before killing the person using her black scythe.

"You should leave the ship," says Nesiara coldly as she walked towards the edge and jumped into the water.

They followed Nesiara's order and run for the stairs when they suddenly feel the ship shake madly. They ran down the stairs and they see how the ship was slowly lifted out of the water.

Nesiara was flying while holding the ship in one hand while aiming with the other hand towards the south. John walked towards the bow and see the city to be precise he could see the building Nesiara was aiming the ship at. He places a durability seal on the ship as fast as possible.

"Fuck, she is going fo-," says John when he feels the ship accelerate at a speed that would normally make the ship break apart into little pieces.

V and Rogue saw where the ship was flying into when Rogue says, "If we had monsters like them before then the attack on the Arasaka Tower would have been a piece of cake."

The ship crashed bow first into the Arasaka Tower going through it fully before both ends were visible while John was braking the ship so it wouldn't fly further like into the city or worse into the Aldecaldos Camp.

"I am happy that she didn't use her full strength," says John before he disappears from the scene appearing beside Nesiara.

"You brake the speed at the right moment," says Nesiara knowing full well that John was on the ship when she threw it.

"Let us just get out of here before the media gets wind from where the ship came from," says John as Nesiara nods agreeing with him.

They fly down towards the others while John brings a container down with him. He puts it on the ground and opens it revealing a car that Johnny and Rogue recognized right away.

"That's my/Johnny's car," say Johnny and Rogue at the same time as John looks at V.

"Now it is her car," says John pointing at V who pointed at herself confused for a second.

"My car?" asks V as John nods.

"Yes, but we should get out of here. I will drive the Regalia and you drive the Porsche. I will leave the Regalia at the Afterlife," says John as he leaves to get the car while Rogue follows him.

Nesiara looked at V and throws a gun at her while saying, "It belonged to Johnny. You should find his grave and make peace with him."

"Do I really have to make peace with that egomaniac of a person?" asks V seriously as Nesiara nods.

"You might not know it but you both need each other even if both of you don't want to agree with it," says Nesiara before turning away and going in the same direction John and Rogue left in before.

V only flinches with her nose before opening the Porsche's door and entering it. She starts the car and Johnny appears beside her.

"You heard the woman. Let us find my grave and bury our hatches in it," says Johnny to V when V puts her foot on the gas before leaving the dock to get to Johnny's grave.
