Chapter 47

"Fire!"

Tala then raised the Grenade Launcher, aimed it at the high rise tsunami's, then fired.

*Fwoomp*

A blue looking canister then shot out from the Grenade launcher. And this time, it was glowing.

When the canister was about to reach the high rise tsunami wave, a *clink* was then heard. At the same time, Brando shouted,

"Eman, thrust it!!

The canister-glowing object then exploded, in a radius of 8 meters, that part of the tsunami wave froze instantly.

Brando then went towards an E-M134 and started shooting at the frozen part of the wave.

"Head towards that frozen area!!"

Eman then steered the speed boat towards the frozen chunk on the large wave. By slamming themselves through it, they were able to bypass it.

Brando then looked around, after looking around, his eyes then straightened into a slit.

He then looked at Nievas and said,

"2 o'clock!!! Big one!!"

Nievas then looked at the direction Brando just gave her and then looked back at him with incredulous eyes.

"Commander!! Are you crazy!! That thing is high enough to even topple a cargo ship!!"

Brando then looked at her with questioning eyes and then said'

"How are you sure that it's high enough to topple a cargo ship when you couldn't even measure properly due to all of these waves? And besides, we have 3 more rounds. We can do this."

Every single person on the speed boat then looked at the high spirited Brando with Incredulous eyes. This, though, excludes Eman.

"Eman head towards the largest wave!!"

Eman then nodded and then steered the speed boat towards the wave Brando pointed despite all the rebuttal from his teammates.

Brando then simply smiled and then shouted,

"ADVENTURE!!!"

.....

* 67 nautical miles away from Malacañang Royal port*

"Vice Admiral Rigal, We have a call from Admiral Aurelio."

Vice Admiral Rigal, a man reaching his retirement days. His looks may be that of a 40 year old man but his actual age is that his 55.

His position was actually that of reverse that of Aurelio. Aurelio was the Vice Admiral, while he was the Admiral.

But as time passed, he then gave the position to Aurelio.

To those of his time, people that knew him well knew that Rigal was Aurelio's teacher on for all of Aurelio's years on the Navy.

"Put him in."

"Teacher!!"

Rigal was taken aback by the sudden shouts that was heard over the radio.

"Who is this? Why are you shouting?" Asked Rigal.

"Teacher!! It's me Aurelio! I need scout planes and DF MI-8 transport helicopters on my location. I'll send the coordinates right away."

The call ended.

Then....

"Sir, we just received coordinates on Admiral Aurelio's location. It's somewhere Southwest of here."

With a troubled expression, Rigal said,

"Southwest of here? What is he doing there?"

After some slight contemplation, Rigal didn't gave the matter any more thought and just did what his student just said.

"Do as he says. Send scout planes and Advanced UAV's on the area. I'll request for MI-8's on the nearest Aerial fleet."

"Aye."

.....

"Check the reef."

"Clean."

"Seabed."

"Clean."

Aurelio gave a sigh of relief at this one.

He didn't know how long, but finally, he found a place that they could dock for the moment.

All the other area's they went were filled with this or this that made them unable to stay there.

And now,

"Haaa."

"Admiral, we have a call."

Trying to rest his stressed mind with eyes closed, Aurelio said,

"Put them in."

"Aurelio. This is Rigal. What was your call all about?"

Aurelio immediately opened his eyes, a little startled because it was his teacher. After calming himself for some moments, he then answered.

"Ah, Guro!! The reason for my call was because Brando, the Tri-star regiment's Commander, gave in a distress call to us."

(A/N: Guro means teacher)

"Tri-star regiment's Commander? Distress call? What happened??"

Noticing the distress in Rigal's voice, Aurelio knew that this too became a pain in his head the moment he said those words.

"I don't know. The call we received was muffled. The only thing we were able to deduce was that they somehow got themselves in a tsunami."

"A what??!" Shouted Rigal over the radio.

"I know. That's why I said bring scout planes and MI-8's...."

"...."

Both sides were silent for some moments. They knew that the situation they were in were not that very favorable.

The team Brando has with him was one of the best of the best on the regiment. If they were to suddenly encounter a mishap and they.....

That would not do any good for them, especially to the current status quo the country is facing.

"I have 3 Aerial fleets that got my call. They'll be in on the search. As for you Aurelio..... Look for some place to park that ship your currently in. Then set up a small communication base. We would need it on this search operation."

The call then ended.

Aurelio was then just there, frozen on his current position.

.....

"Here we go!!"

With precise steering, Eman was able to bypass most waves that could have possibly toppled them.

"On our right!!"

"Tch."

Eman then steered the boat to the right to go left, bypassing this wave.

"Nice one!! Alright, we're close."

Tala then prepared the Grenade launcher. Aimed high, then waited for Brando to say the word.

Seeing that they were just some few meters away from the high rise tsunami wave, Brando then shouted,

"Fire!!"

*Fwoomp**Fwoomp**Fwoomp*

At the same time, Brando had Nievas take control of the other E-M134 and gestured her to shoot at the chunks of ice that would appear right in front of them.

When the chunks of ice appeared, it immediately started to show signs of breaking down.

This then caught Brando and Nievas of guard. He didn't expect that the force of this tsunami would be that powerfull that even freezing it would not be enough.

As seeing that there wasn't much time to change course, he could only grit his teeth and shout,

"Brace!!!"

And then they faced the tsunami head on.

.....

*3 hours after the distress call*

"Any signs?"

"No sir, no signs."

Aurelio gave a dejected sigh when he heard this.

It's been quite some time now after they received that distress call.

They've found a place to settle for the moment, contacted Rigal and the Aerial fleet he brought with him, and started searching for Brando and his team.

However, up until now, their efforts have been to no avail.

"Sir, we have a call from Mother."

Aurelio looked at that person and then said,

"Bring them in."

"This would not end up good...."
