Doomsday Pillars

Chapter 58

A girl grew up in a little village near the sea. She was the prettiest and smartest little girl in the village, everyone loved her. They took care of her as one of their own. Two things she loved the most; the villagers and the sea. She loved swimming, diving, and sailing. Until one day, the sea took everything from her.

On 26 December 2004, the Indian Ocean Earthquakes created a series of 30-meter tsunamis that affected 14 countries, killing more than 220,000 people. The Indonesian city of Banda Aceh reported the largest number of victims. The earthquake was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. The little girl lost her home and everyone she loved, her parents and the villagers all died. She was the sole survivor from the village.

A high-ranking naval officer found her in the wreckage and took her in. The girl was 15 years old. The navy became her family. She graduated from the Maritime Academy and continued other studies in nautical science. She took the officers course and excelled throughout her military career, specializing in navigation and seafaring. Many years later Commander Tom, a respected captain of a navy destroyer, found that she had a talent for command and took her as his number two. She is now Lieutenant Commander Karra. The coming doomsday, the disease, dead bodies, and zombies made her remember all her traumatic past. The disaster also become a reminder of her desire to help her people.

Doomsday +1 16:00 Bay City

Lt Commander Karra unit with Benny and Lieutenant Russel unit, currently still defending the Bay city from hundreds of zombies who keep coming from the east. The initial gunfights have attracted zombie from the east, the defense team struggles on defending the city from wave and wave of zombies using melee weapons. There are now more than 1000 men helping the unit fighting the coming hordes.

"Lieutenant Russel, this is crazy, we are fighting an abomination here"

"Stop complaining and focus on the zombies"

Lieutenant Commander Karra did finish her maritime academy, but she never had any combat experiences. Except for the frog commandos who occasionally received a special mission, The daily navy task was; capturing illegal fis.h.i.+ng boats, sea smugglers or helping evacuates boats or airplanes crashes accident in the seas. Facing this undead situation, most navy soldiers were not mentally prepared. Lieutenant Russell, on the other hand, was seen many life and death experience before. As for Benny he just really care about the people and just tried to do the best he can.

After a few hours, the situation in the Bay city actually slowly getting better, most fighters already get used in killing zombies. They also start to cooperate with each other better. More and more survivor joined the group to fight the zombies. It should be the time to start march forward to Amapura city.


"Commander!! A message just came through"

"..."

"Yes, yes I understand"

.

.

"Listen up! we got an urgent a.s.signment, we will bring the s.h.i.+ps to support the south sections. Mr. Benny, I hope you can help Lieutenant Russel here. The navy sailors and officers will come with me, the commandos will stay with you"

.

"Let me and my squad accompany you, Commander," Sergeant Joni said

Having special forces on a rescue mission it"s not a bad idea

.

.

Benny continues defending the Bay city while hundred experience defender follows Lieutenant Russel to march into the Amarapuara.

.

Lt Commander Karra and 30 men gathered and start boarding the Fatahillah destroyer.

This is the first time Lt commander Karra become the captain of Fatahillah and leading the bridge.

"Engine start.. check"

"Lieutenant Torry Set a course to the south,"

Lieutenant Torry is the youngest officer on the bridge and replacing her position as the navigator.

"Set Sail!!"

The whole preparation took half an hour and the trip expected will take one hour to reach its destination. Lt Commander Karra was in the bridge when suddenly a group of Navy soldier walk in and startle her...

"..."

"Sergeant Joni what"s the meaning of this!!!"

.

"Sorry Commander, me and the crew decided we cant follow your order..."

"..."

Karra replied... "We are the navy, we uphold the military command, it was commander Tom mission, and also our mission to help Bali city facing this disaster"

"With all due respect commander.. what mission? and which command? I believe by now the central command is no longer exist... we are not like those people out there, they are currently fighting for their home... what about our home? Lieutenant Peter here support me, he would very much like to go home and check on his mother... many others the same... We are not the same as those commandos and Deathsquad, most of them have no families... We thought this is a good opportunity. We can use the s.h.i.+p and go back home together. what do you think commander?"

Commander Karra, look at the dozen faces that currently on the bridge waiting for her decision. People in the Navy normally closer with each other than the Army, most of them can spend months even years between themselves in a contained s.p.a.ce. The commander can see their terrified face. They just lost many colleges and friend with the disease and watching the zombies actually attacking and eating human beings is too much for them. If only commander Tom is here, he knows how to handle the situation, unfortunately, he got infected and died, it"s her responsibility now.

"I understand... we all afraid... I promise I will make sure each of you has an opportunity to go home.. but this time there are people counting on us. we have a duty to uphold..."

.

"NO!!" sergeant Joni seems very agitated... he pulled up a gun "I DEMAND YOU to send us home NOW!"

.

Everyone in the room suddenly become nervous.

.

"Sergeant this is not as we discuss," lieutenant Peter said

"Stop it!!!" the young lieutenant Torry also try to stop this madness.

.

The situation becomes chaotic

Lt Commander Karra saw an opening, she jumped in to the sergeant"

"..."

BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!

three shots fired...

Doomsday +1 17:00 Bali Airport

"Mr. Alex, the APV machine gun ammunition is almost empty, what should we do?"

Alex count there are at least 150 survivors holding up in the airport...he spoke to them...

"We have s.p.a.ce for only 90 people in the APV. These vehicles will take you to safety in the north. I asked for 30 volunteers to stay behind.

Alex took all 90 survivors into the APV mostly children, elders, and injured person and move them out away from the airport. Before leaving, the APV also emptied out its grenade launcher supplies.

KABOOMMM!!.. KABOOMMM!!.. KABOOOMMM!!

dozens of explosion spread out around the airport its created an opening for the APV to went through...

.

Now the units plus 60 locals have no vehicles left to leave.

"What"s next?" Captain Adnan asked.

"This is our chance... the explosion creates an opening lets move to the airport warehouse. it"s easier to defense from the zombies. and its the closest building to the ocean.. let"s move now.."

The group arrived in the warehouse and quickly set up barricades...

"How much ammo do we have left..?"

"Not much"

"Conserve the bullets and use melee weapons instead.

"Mr. Alex, there are hundred thousands of zombies out there, without firearm we won"t last an hour"

Major Sandi said, "This zombie actually not that hard to kill we should be fine without guns."

"Don"t underestimate them major"

.

.

GROOAAAARRRRRRRR

.

The group was stunned...

"What is that!"

"That"s the mutated one. 12 hours already pa.s.sed. Some would have turned into the mutated one already... There are hundred thousand zombies out there, I reckon there are at least a few dozens of the mutated one.

.

The group saw from the windows how fierce the mutated one moves.. it was a fearsome sight...

.

.

GROAAARRR!!!

.

BANG!!

The mutated red zombie head was exploded

"..."

"Nothing to worry about..." Aria snipes through the window...

"I saw more coming.. be prepared"

"How long till reinforcements arrive?"
