Code Geass FF chapter 74

"Of course! We already talked about it earlier, have you forgotten already?" Flora said while rolling her eyes as she saw Marianne returning fire to the enemy.

"Right! So go drive the speed boat! We should go out of here already! The more we stay here, the more danger we will be in." Marianne said seriously as she reloaded her gun.

"Alright!" Flora said as she move to the drivers seat of the speed boat.

"Just do it quick!" Marianne said hurriedly while firing back to the two enemies.

Her bullets are dwindling really fast.

"Eunalia, can you look into the things that is in this speed boat. Look for a gun, specially." Marianne said to Eunalia loudly.

Eunalia didn't bother to answer Marianne and just followed the task immediately.

"I can't start the boat! There is no key in here!" Flora shouted loudly in a slight panic when she can't find the key anywhere close in the driver's seat.

"There are only two Uzi here Marianne! But there are really many bullets!" Eunalia shouted almost at the same time as Flora's shout.

"Damn it!" Marianne exclaimed as she heard Flora.

"What?!" Eunalia exclaimed shock too and then started to feel some panic.

Marianne is frowning from the pressure she is feeling on their current situation.

She, then, inhaled and exhaled deeply to calm down and think clearly.

Flora and Eunalia started to think for a solution too.

"What if the key is in the outpost?" Eunalia said hurriedly after thinking for sometime.

"Right!" Flora exclaimed excitedly.

"That's right!" Marianne said loudly as she check her ammunition again. "Bring me the two Uzi and some of the bullets Eunalia."

"Sure!" Eunalia answered as she hurriedly took out the guns from where they were.

"Load the mags, as this gun is about to finish all it's bullets." Marianne said calmly as she returned fire before facing Flora. "Your gun is still fully loaded right? Support me with cover fire and guard this boat while I go get the key!"

"You sure?! It will be dangerous! This place is too open! You'll need to run quite a distance before getting into the outpost, you know!" Flora said worriedly as she checked her own gun.

"That's right! It's too dangerous!" Eunalia said worriedly too.

"We have no choice. I am the only one who has a high chance of getting there without being shot into a sieve by bullets from the enemy." Marianne said solemnly as she took the Uzi that had just gotten finished loading by Eunalia.

"Alright! You should prepare!" Flora said in acceptance before going to Eunalia to help load the other magazines of the Uzi.

They finished loading four of it before hearing Marianne say, "It good already. I will leave the other Uzi for you Flora. Your gun right now shouldn't have many bullets right?

You give me cover fire as I run while the enemies are reloading."

"Roger that!" Flora said with determination as she clasped her smg tighter.

She is starting to sweat from anticipation and nervousness.

This is the first that she is doing a gun fight.

Most of her experience in guns are only in training or in the firing range.

"I'll help too! I can at least use a hand gun." Eunalia said trying to help.

"You just be ready to help while loading more magazines for Flora." Marianne said calmly as she loaded a new magazine and gaze at Flora. "Remember to only fire when you see the enemy. And also, don't sustain fire, okay? Just do it intermittently. Don't be too nervous!"

"Okay!" Flora shouted in reply as both she and Eunalia nodded in agreement to Marianne's instructions.

"Now!" Marianne shouted loudly as the two enemies stopped firing from the distance and she started getting out of the boat then running towards the outpost.

Flora readily aimed the two guys and fired at them when they tried getting out of the spot they are hiding in.

Marianne fired her gun at them too as she run just to make sure that she doesn't get shot at in the open.

This things that happened felt like a few minutes to Marianne when it was only a few seconds.

She panted heavily as she stopped on a cover beside the outpost.

She was out of breath from running with all her might.

She rested for a few seconds before going inside the outpost.

The gunshots outside didn't stop and the enemies started firing more than before.

Thankfully, the speed boat is also bullet proof, so it wasn't heavily damage from all the bullets that hit it.

Their destination even changed as they started moving towards the outpost, thinking of taking down Marianne first.

After getting inside the outpost, Marianne hastily skimmed through everything that was easily seen inside like cabinets and drawers.

She quickly found the boat's key hanging on the wall with other key's in there.

It seems, there is also a mini armory in this outpost because one of the keys had that name tagged just below it.

She paused for a moment as she started thinking. 'Hmmm... There should be bigger guns in there. Right! I should take those two guys down before we leave! They might destroy Alister's get away vehicle if I let them be.'

So, she took the key and started going towards it to take out the big guns.

And she was not disappointed because there are many rifles and carbines in the mini armory.

There is even a heavy machine gun here.

Just looking at it's large bullets will let you know how powerful this thing is.

'Damn! This is better than I thought! I thought I would only be able to see your run of the mill rifles and carbines here. There is even a grenade launcher, Fuck!

I am really tempted to just blow up those two nuisance outside. I am just worried that the cave might collapse from the explosion.

Tsk tsk...

Right! I shouldn't use those things that causes big explosions, it will be bad if Alister can't even get in here because the way is blocked.' Marianne thought so as she planned her next move hurriedly.
