The Human Strikes Back

Chapter 16:

BPOV

Sam and Jasper arrived at noon. We sat around the kitchen table along with my dad and Jason. Jason started the meeting.

“Welcome and thank you for coming. Christmas time is over and me and my lovely fiancée are looking forward to a brand new year in which the Volturi do not exist. I would like to start this campaign in early February. That will give everybody a month or so to plan and train. It will also give me time to get the resources we will need. Once this campaign starts it will go fairly quickly. We are going to go from ambush to straight up challenging them to come and get us. At least to come and get Bella. I am having a temporary headquarters set up as we speak in the forest on the La Push Cullen boundary. After today this is where we will meet for training and strategy meetings. Before I start detailing the plan does anyone have any questions or concerns?”

Jasper spoke first. “What makes you think the Volturi will leave a war with the Romanians to come after one human who has the potential to one day be a gifted vampire?”

“That’s where the Cullens will play a huge role. You are first going to call the Volturi and tell them Bella has had second thoughts and you want help to convince her to change. Carlisle will suggest to Aro that because they want Bella to be a part of his family he wants a Volturi agent to change her and make it look like they didn’t know anything about it. In exchange for his help the Cullens will commit themselves to his war effort.”

“I have to say this is pretty risky on the part of my family.”

“Yes it is. And if your idiot brother hadn’t exposed himself to Bella she wouldn’t been in this predicament. If he hadn’t rushed off to kill his emo self then she wouldn’t be in this situation. So I think the Cullens have some culpability here.” Jason said.

“Agreed. Second concern. You do realize that even though the Volturi are evil, they are a stabilizing force in the vampire world. It is fear of them that causes vampires from running wild over the human race. The Romanians are just as evil.”

“This has occurred to me as well. However as far as vampires hiding from the world I personally don’t care if they do or not. If they show themselves we will kill them. Once they realize we can do this, vampires may not be so eager to bring themselves out into the open. As far as the Romanians go, well first things first. Everybody is scared of the Volturi. That means they are the most powerful. They must go first. And we have the ability to do a little bit more damage in Romania than we do in Italy. We can attack them on their turf where they least expect it. Only idiots would attack a fortified vampire lair and we are just the idiots to do it. But that’s another day. “

“Sam? Any questions?”

“Nope. Just want to know what the plan is for wiping these things out.”

“Okay general plan. The clearing that ya’ll had the newborn fight in. Tell me about it.”

Jasper once again spoke up.” The clearing is approximately 1000 yards long and 600 yards wide. It is surrounded by thick forest on both sides and has a cliff on the other side. “

“When the main battle comes this is where we will have it. Bella you can start practicing sniping from the cliff. Serenity will be your spotter or you can be hers. I will let you two work that out.”

There is no way I am not going to be the shooter but this was not the time to discuss it.

“I plan to lure them into this clearing expecting to meet you. When they get there you will race up the cliffs. Do not talk to them. Do not address them even if they address you. This isn’t a movie where the bad guys and the good guys have a conversation before the fighting begins and trade quips. This is going to go down fast and dirty. When they get to the middle of the clearing I plan to rain down hell on them and anyone who is still there is not gonna be happy about it. It is going to go down fast and dirty. First thing is the clearing is going to become a kill box. I have 6 tanks that will be camoed in the forest on both sides of the clearing. The insides will be sound proof. We will sneak in behind the targets after they enter the killbox and attack with RPG and Laser pulses. The middle of the killbox will have landmines. A lot of landmines. They will be set by remote detonator so it won’t matter if they are stepped on. I would suggest your family stay close to the cliff so they can scale it as soon as the Volturi get close enough. Act like your scared if you have to and don’t want to get to close to them. I don’t care what you do but get them to the center.

“After the initial barrage of firepower two Apache helicopters will enter the fray and fire missiles into the center. Once this is done my team will come from the back, and Bella will begin picking off whoever is still in the field. The wolves will rush into the side if they are able. The flames will have to die down somewhat. But do your best to avoid it. Jasper when your family reaches the cliffs they are done. If they want to stay and pick off stragglers then that is fine but that clearing is going to be dangerous. I plan on turning it into vampire hell. This plan should allow us to take up to 60 vamps by my estimation. If there are more, things are going to get interesting. If they sense a trap things are going to get interesting. I am hoping they are planning a straight up vamp fight with the Cullens and possibly the wolves. I have to take into account they may know about you, Sam.”

“Okay that’s the plan in general. Charlie I am going to need you to be ready with firecrews to prevent this thing from spreading. It’s wet enough around here but this is gonna be a lot of fire. I also need you to make up a story about war games going on with the military to keep snooping citizens out of the area. Especially hikers.”

I’m not gonna lie. Seeing Jason like this takes my thoughts in another direction. Specifically one that leads to the bedroom.

“This attack takes place from start to finish in 5 minutes. Any longer and we go from sneak attack to firefight. I am convinced we will win a firefight but I would rather avoid it if necessary. Now I need to know about my enemy and potential high priority targets that need to be taken out first.”

I blurted out immediately “Jane and Alec”. I filled in Jason and Sam about their powers and all agreed those two needed to go first. I described their appearance to all but Jasper who already knew. Jason looked me in the eyes and said “Darlin when they come into the clearing you are going to take out Alec first. I’m pretty sure his power won’t work against the suits but I can’t chance him working his mojo on the wolves or the tank crews on the side. Brings up another point. Sam we are going to have everybody laid out in specific positions. It is vitally important that your people are exactly where they are supposed to be to avoid friendly fire, bombs and cross fire. I know the range of these weapons and I will place your people in safe spots. If you have anyone who can’t handle explosions or you think may have a problem with combat outside of the norm then leave them out.”

“My pack will be ready” Sam reassured Jason.

“Okay, I think we are all on the same page then. Let’s talk about the first skirmish. Darlin how many do you think they will bring to turn little ole you into a big bad vampire?

He’s asking me?

“I’d have no idea but I would guess 2 or 3. I doubt they travel alone, so at least two.”

“Then we are going to have to rely on your Nostradamus, Jasper, to tell us when it is decided and where they are going to be. This house may be the best place to set them up. What do you think Charlie?”

“I have no problem with that.” Charlie said.

“Understand if one of us misses a shot this is gonna be close range shooting. You may wind up with a big ass hole in your wall that could set your house on fire. Bella you will be wearing Serenity’s suit under regular clothes and will pop the helmet up when they come in. She will show you how. That way any stray shots wont hamr you. For some reason he lasers have no affect on the armor. “

“Darlin would you mind waiting for some sparkly sons of bitches in your room with a laser rifle and me and animal in your closet and outside your door?”

“Do I get to shoot first?” I wanted to know.

“Absolutely.”

“Make the call and lets fry these fuckers.” I told him. After years of being chased by vamps or worried about vamps I was going to finally get a change to issue some payback. And there was no way in hell I was missing it.
