The Athena Code's
39. The Battle of FIRE

Panjshir Valley, February 21, 2020

Athena tidied up and tied up her disheveled hair. He saw Larmina as well Mr. G was awake and had been tidy.

“Sorry, I'm late waking up. Looks like I drank too much last night.”Said Athena while holding back her sleepiness.

Huh uh??Seems like..?? too much he doesn't remember anything, but good. The voice in Mr. G's mind was earthy with each other.

”Let's have breakfast and prepare so that we can reach the location of the combat vehicle before noon.”Athena continued again while taking out the rest of her last bread.

“It's enough for the three of us. Come take it.”Athena offered each piece of bread to Larmina and Mr. G.

Larmina received the bread with great joy and great thanksgiving.”Thank you army girl.”Her speech.

Mr. G stared at the bread in Athena's hand for quite a while, it felt like he was so reluctant and tasteless. He felt his life was very sad by relying on a loaf of bread from a woman whom he expected to look at with fascination and admiration. Plus the bread was not suitable on his tongue.

‘’ Why ? Does this bread bore you?Come on, don't spoil it here, not America. "Courtesy Athens.

"You eat first. I'm not hungry yet. Let me keep this bread until I'm hungry. " Mr Sahut. G while taking bread from Athena's hand.

Athena then packed into a totebag all the items she needed.

"Why not breakfast? Ask Mr. G is a bit stiff but tries to be as normal as possible. However, last night's events have changed his viewpoint on Athens. And one more thing, that his passion for this girl is a destiny that he cannot deny.

" I won't eat before my patients eat. "Anya's jaw was flat while putting an armour vest on her upper body.

Always stubborn and pretentious heroine, Mr. Inner. G.

" Let's have breakfast . "Take Mr. G eventually gave up. He didn't want the green girl to walk away on an empty stomach.

" Mmm, okay! "Sahut Athena while taking out her bread and sitting next to Larmina who had just noticed the interaction of these two new friends.

" Oya, how was last night?Am I drunk? I hope I don't do anything silly. Because my friends told me I was drunk I often did bad things. "Tell Athena while chewing her bread.

Mr. G stopped his movement of chewing bread. He looked at Larmina as well as the other way around.

" Oh no no, no bad thing, you just a little bit of a raving is not clear."Larmina replied while looking at Mr. G and Athena alternated.

"Ugh, thank goodness. Means last night I was just dreaming about Frans ." Athena continued again with a relieved face.

Larmina and Mr. G looked back at each other with eyes slightly strained. Luckily Athena did not extend it any longer.

After breakfast, they packed up and left. Athena tells Mr. G to wear the burka to make it safer, but Mr. G refuses because he doesn't want to look silly. Athena and Larmina were wearing the burka.

Athena tore the two sides of the burka elongatedly using a bayonet to ease its movement. Now he can walk freely while carrying two long-barreled rifles and a black totebag that is quite heavy.

"Take off this totebag, let me take him." Mr. Tukas. G who walked behind Athena and Larmina. Mr. G grabs the totebag from the Athena grip.

"You haven't healed properly. Don't underestimate the power of women." Ketus Athena's.

"Look, you two take the totebag alternately, both half the way. Aah. I'm a pregnant woman so I can not carry the burden.Have not argued continuously so that the baby in my stomach is not disturbed. " Larmina mediates.

Athena and Mr. G both approved Larmina's input despite Mr. G did not want to be replaced carrying the totebag until they finally arrived at the location of the combat vehicle that was found by Athena.

"Wow, this is the M1224 MaxxPro MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected), an armored fighting vehicle produced by American Navistar International Defense in cooperation with Israel's Sasa Plasan. The vehicle has dimensions of length 6.5 -7.2 meters, width 2.5 meters, height 3 meters, and can accommodate a crew of 3 - 7 personnel. Given the dimensions of this vehicle is quite large, it requires a large engine capacity of 9,300 cc." Cerocos Mr's. G while enthusiastically going around groping the surface of the combat vehicle and checking its fittings.

Athena's dark green face was amazed to hear the man in front of her who was originally cold and reserved suddenly become very lustful and talkative so faced with something that was her world. It was as if the vehicle in front of him was a beautiful girl who was very seductive.

"Oh yes, I just remembered you are an expert in modern combat equipment. Lucky, then let's test this vehicle. " Say Athena said while carrying two jerry cans of diesel fuel that she had taken from the snow mound.Sisa two jerry cans were carried by Larmina. Then Mr. G filled the fuel tank carefully.

"Navistar Defense manufactures MaxxPro in two sizes and a drive system. MaxPro Dash is 4X4 and MaxxPro Plus 6X6 with dual rear wheels to increase load carrying capacity. Some features were added and some spare parts used were ordered from ASTROGUN" murmured Mr. G while sitting behind the steering wheel, trying to turn on the M1224 MaxxPro.

"Yes, Zeus said that besides you working for DARPA, you really are also a scientist from ASTROGUN. " The Athenian law seeks clarity.

"Yes, I worked at Astrogun. But I took time off to focus on DARPA. " Requivocal Mr. G while groping the compartment wall to find the key to the combat vehicle starter.

"Mmm, one of my friends said the CEO of ASTROGUN is a single man who is cold towards women, but super genius and handsome. That's my typeku, introduce me sometime."Seloroh Athena but of course there is seriousness there. The cold man is his type now.

Mr. G swallows his saliva hearing the words of Athena.

Green girl, this is not a good time to date, in time you will know. Mumbled Mr. G in the heart.

After all, no one will believe that he is an ASTROGUN CEO with a bad condition, sick and unkempt like today, he thought. G.

"We are lucky, this is one of the best combat vehicles today, although it is still under AstROGUN's Astro-armoredcar Gen-Z01 which is designed for the future combat car "Meek Mr. Excitement while successfully reviving the MaxxPro M1224.

Mr. G turn off the engine back then check all compartment spaces and find a variety of weapons. It turns out that the M1224 MaxxPro is equipped with a remote-controlled weapon module as well as a large caliber M2 caliber 12.7 mm machine gun and a geranat launcher and rocket-powered missiles. Mr. G installed all those weapons quickly and deftly. Now they are ready to travel.

Stupid man, you're not too stupid.Any whisper in the heart.

Athena and Larmina looked at the shabby man unblinkingly from beside the vehicle. For the first time Athena dissolved and forgot to scan the area around her.

They didn't realize Vivian had found them. Vivian monitors from her ENV-G binoculars (binoculars) lens. But he was very doubtful the man in a brown jacket who was pacing back and forth next to MaxxPro MRAP was Mr. G. The man was completely different from Mr. The G he knew.

Meanwhile Athena, Larmina and Mr. G was busy putting their luggage into the cabin.

Ting. Dessie!!

"Akkkhhh!!!!! "Mr.G fell down and reflexively held onto his shot leg.

A bullet almost hit Athena's thigh as she was walking towards the door of the maxxpro. The bullet hit the maxxpro body but bounced off it unable to penetrate the thick armour lining the vehicle. The bullet hit Mr.'s leg. G is walking behind Athena.

"Larmina take Mr. G into the cabin. " Atena's orders are fast. "Use this to bind and hold the bleeding temporarily. "Next Athena. Then he ripped the entire burkaa from his body and gave it to Larmina. Until now Vivian can see clearly through the binoculars with whom she is facing.

" Fuck, Athena the rat is here. "Squeak Vivian began to make considerations.

"Mr.G your leg's been shot! I'm gonna tie him up with this piece of burka. " Larmina said with a frightened face. This is the first time he has been in such a gripping situation . He helped Mr. G get into the vehicle. Mr. G can't say anything just grimacing in his pain

Athena quickly jumped on top of the M1224 MaxxPro, steering the 12.7 mm M2 caliber machine gun right on the Vivian combat vehicle.

"This time it's you, Vivian Cecilia Benner." Hisses.

Athena activated her 12.7 mm M2 caliber and then bombarded Vivian's combat vehicles with merciless fire. After being satisfied to make a hole there - here Athena directs jet-engined grenade launchers towards Vivian combat vehicles. Mapping the target point precisely then launching a high explosive geranat.

BLAARR!!!

The sound of an explosion blared along with the fire that burned the type of combat vehicle avenger weapon system commonly abbreviated AWS. Infuriated, Athena threw her two geranat again in the same direction. The AWS combat vehicle was blown to pieces.

Vivian who had been bombarded with gunfire had crept towards the snow mound, digging with difficulty and hiding in the snow heap, Vivian was able to read as crazy as what the reply would be if he played with Athena-1609. While holding the pain of his right shoulder that was hit by one of Athena's shots, Vivian tried to contact his team.

Athena smiled with satisfaction at Vivian's crumbling AWS.

"We're leaving now, let me start the engine. " Said Mr. G while harboring his pain away. Indeed, the bullet lodged not too deep because it is only a reflection of the body armor M1224 MaxxPro. But the blood flowing from the wound was quite heavy.

Mr. G drive M1224 MaxxPro skillfully. While Athena remained in her reconnaissance seat, standing in front of a machine gun with half her body on the surface of the vehicle.

The distance from Panjshir to Bamiyan is about 209 Km and can be reached the fastest for five hours. Larmina will give you directions.

"Foolish man, increase the speed! We need to get to that medical center to get the bullet out of your leg. " Sheen said casually. He was used to seeing wounds, blood and even death without pause.

"Do you know who shot us just now? " Tell Mr. G asked, but he also increased the speed according to Athena's orders.

"I know him, I know him well enough. He's a dark agent. But I don't know why I'm after us yet." Athena in her standby.

"From 6 o'clock, three combat vehicles seem to be targeting us. The same type of vehicle as the one before in Panjshir. I'll try to shoot their wheels. Try to keep the speed and balance of the vehicle stable." Athena's chirping again told Mr. G.

"O Allah, save us. Keep us out of danger, Aamin.." Do'a Larmina repeatedly. He heard the sound of bullets that began to target the vehicles they were riding. Luckily, the M1224 MaxxPro armor layer is one of the best and reliable.

Teng! Teng! Teng.

The sound of the projectile colliding with the M1224 MaxxPro armor makes the ears ring.

"Larmina can you drive?" Ask Mr. G.

"Yes, I'm pretty good. " Answer Larmina.

"Seplace me!" Mr's orders. G then took the head armor and Vest armor lying idle on the side of the compartment.

"Give me the Marksman rifle, get me some protection, I'll get in." Mr Pinta. G.

"Here take it." Athena answered while handing over the Marine sniper special weapon to Mr. G.

"Just a few seconds duration for fifteen to twenty shots, we should save bullets. Make the right shot!." Athens began bombarding the three vehicles behind them with gunfire. One of the cars was knocked down because one of Athena's shots hit both of her front tires.

"okay! " Greet Mr. G by harboring excruciating pain in his legs.

Athena could only gape watching the ability of the man she had always considered weak. One by one the fighting vehicles chasing them fell because of Mr. G is always aiming precisely at his wheel. The entire surface of the fighting vehicle used thick armor that could not be penetrated by bullets, so it was useless for Athens to bombard them with fire. Unless the shot hit the wheel of the vehicle, and Mr. G does it very accurately.

"Athena spewed out her geranat!Larmina slow down the vehicle! " This time Mr. G who gave the command and Athena had trusted the expertise of the man before her.

"I started to give you protection. Do now! " Said Mr. G while firing several shots at the opponent to give Athena a chance to prepare and launch her geranat.

Athena violently launched the rocket-propelled grenade until it was unresponsive. There are only five grenades and all have been launched right on target. A huge explosion accompanied their journey.

Mr. G breathing tired. Too much blood has come out of his wounds. Athena and Larmina looked at him pity.

"Mr.G, lie down. I think the situation is safe. Let me keep watch on the surface." Athena muttered while holding Mr.'s shoulder. G.

"All right." Reply Mr. G then rests his weakened body on the cabin wall.

"Larmina, how much longer are we going to get to Bamiyan? " Tanya Athena started to worry.

"About three and a half hours, may Mr. G can survive. " Murmured Larmina replied to Athena's question

"Of course he has to hold on. " South of Athens optimistic.
