Chapter 1: Pirate Invasion
It was a dark, stormy night. Rain pours down at a fast rate, lightning lighting up the dark sky.
In a forest, an old abandon cabin was being drenched by the heavy rain. A man wearing a black suit with a laser gun walked inside. Inside the cabin was an old sofa couch, a fireplace that didn't wood inside of it. The suited man starts walking towards the fireplace. He stops in front of the section, pressing a brick. A small television appears with a number pad and the screen saying password. The man pressed three numbers.
"Agent Martinez: Password accepted" a feminine voice said as the TV screen goes away back into the brick wall.
The chimney opens in front of the man, exposing an elevator. He walks in, pressing a button and watch the door close. The elevator descends into a secret base underneath the abandon cabin.
There were a crowd of men and women wearing suits like the man walking around the base. The elevator stops and opens the doors. The agent walks out and went towards a female agent.
"Good evening, Agent Martinez" she greeted.
"Good evening to you as well, Agent Marlow" Agent Martinez greeted back.
The two agents talked awhile, walking through the crowd. The two enter a room with three giant television screens, showing footage of the storm outside.
"Agent Marlow, Agent Martinez".
Someone behind the agents call out, walking towards the two agents. "General Thompson" Martinez and Marlow said, saluting. General Thompson saluted back at them. "Agents, I know its storming at there. But that won't stop us from securing the building. We don't want anyone trespassing here. So make sure to keep a good lookout tonight."
Agent Martinez looks up at the giant surveillance screen outside the conference room. Marlow look at her fellow agent.
"So…did you tell her yet?" She asked, putting her long blond hair in a ponytail.
"What! Uh, no" Martinez awkwardly denying. "You know I can't tell her. I don't want our partnership to feel awkward".
"You don't know if she feels the way about you. Sometimes you gotta take a risk" Marlow told him.
Martinez took out his phone out of his pocket. A painful memory runs through his head. "One day, the past is going to kill me" he mumbled while looking at his phone. Marlow turn to the agent, moving next to him and hugging him. "I don't know about your past. But the future will look bright for you"
Before he can hug Marlow back, the lights in the base start blinking red. The alarm start sounding off.
"Attention agents: We got an intruder!" the female's voice on the intercom announced.
Martinez, Marlow, and the other agents immediately stop what they did and looked up at the three screen. Agent Martinez runs next to an agent who controls the cameras. "Agent Dodson, What's going on?" asked the secure agent.
"Um…Agent Martinez" Agent Dodson trailed off, turning to the agent. "You're not going believe this". Dodson puts the footage he was watching and put it on the middle screen on the giant televisions. Gen. Thompson ran out of his quarters and watches the footage. His eyes widen at the sight of the screen.
"O-Oh…m-my…God" he said, quivering as he spoke. "After all these years of searching, we found it!"
"What is it?" an agent asked the General. The agents looked at Gen. Thompson for an answer.
"It's finally here" the General continue saying. "There it is… those bastards ship"
There was a dark figure that looks like a pirate ship flying in the sky. The ship had a blade-like bowsprit and cannons on the side. "What a beauty" Agent Marlow awe in amusement.
"Hey check it out" Dodson pointed out. The ship was on started to smoke and burst on fire in the back. A green laser hit the ship in the back, making the end explode, the ship now in a worst trouble. "I think there might be another ship or something attacking the pirate ship" Martinez said.
"Sir, let me use the belt?" he look up at Gen. Thompson. The General ignore his agent.
"I don't trust you with such power as the belt" he finally answers to Martinez, giving him an angry look.
"So how are we going to save that ship?" Martinez argued.
"You will not use that tone with me, Agent!" the General yelled at the agent.
Martinez apologizes. "What are you orders?" he asked calmly. The general ignore the question. "Your orders, sir?" asked Martinez.
Marlow, Dodson, and the other agents looked at the commotion between Agent Martinez and Gen. Thompson. Martinez turns his attention back to the burning ship on the screen. He couldn't wait for an answer anymore.
The agent run up towards a wall filled with weapons and start grabbing pistols and bullet cartages. "What are you doing, Agent Martinez. I haven't given you an order."
Agent Martinez walked towards Gen. Thompson. "I'm going to save that ship if you give a damn." There was a few seconds of silence from everyone in the base. The General chuckled, breaking the silence. "Just like old times"
Thompson pointed out a couple of agents including Agent Marlow, and then pointed at Agent Martinez. "Follow Martinez and help that ship. Bring whoever or whatever in there" he ordered.
Three agents with Marlow rush to the weapons wall, grabbed what weapons they need, and ran up to Agent Martinez. The group run to the elevator and open the doors. They walk inside and watch everyone look at them as they ascend to the cabin above.
The group of agents walked out of the cabin into the storming forest. The water falling down on their face made it hard to find the ship. Agent Martinez turns on his earpiece, walking down on the saggy ground.
"Agent Martinez, can you hear me?" the voice of Agent Dodson came on the earpiece.
"I can hear you loud and clear" Martinez respond, looking at the sky. "We can't find the ship out here". The agents stay next to each other but Martinez is the only one looking at the starry sky.
Suddenly, a green light started to glow behind the agents. The light was blinding bright, the group squint or covers their eyes. The light covered the whole forest.
Back in the secret base, Gen. Thompson rush next to Agent Dodson and snatch the radio away from him. "Agent Martinez, report" he yells out. There was only silence. "Agent Martinez, report now!"
"A bright light is glowing bright in the forest" Martinez report back on the radio.
Back in the forest, the agents try to see where the light is coming from. An explosion echoed in the drenched area. Only a sound of static was heard on the radio. Agents back in the base were starting to worry as they did not hear a word from their fellow agent, thinking the worst has happen.
Gen. Thompson turns his eyes to the desk of Agent Dodson, banging his fist onto it, frightening everyone.
"General *static*, we're okay. I *static*General Thomp *static*, we're okay"
The General was look back at microphone. Agents start to smile and cheer as they barely hear Agent Martinez's voice on the radio. "Is there anyone hurt, Agent?" he asked.
"No sir" Martinez answered
Martinez got up from the muddy ground. His suit was ruin but that was the least concern. His teammates were gone. His thoughts start running in his head. 'Where did they go?'
The lone agent wipe the mud off his eyes and look around the dark forest, barely getting late from the moon. He was relieved to see two agents got up from the ground. But what was in front of them startled the leader of the group.
There was a trail of small flames and fallen trees. What could've done this? Then it hit Martinez. The pirate ship. It was in bad shape and whatever that explosion was, it had to be that ship.
"Come on agents. We got to find Agent Marlow and get who's in the ship" Martinez ordered.
After a couple of minutes of following the path of destruction, the three agents find the fallen ship. The giant pirate ship. In front of the opening of the ship was an agent pacing back and forth. Martinez and the other two walk up to him. Now all he was worry about now was Agent Marlow. She was more than a fellow agent. She was a great friend when he thinks he doesn't to have anyone.
"About time you got here" a female voice was heard. It came out of the ship. A figure walked out of the opening. Martinez pointed his pistol at the figure. "Whoa, you'll shoot someone's eye out". That familiar voice made Martinez smile but he have to make sure it was her.
Indeed it was her. Agent Marlow jump off the ship, carrying an object. Martinez ran to her and hugs her. Thank goodness it was dark so it can hide her blushing. "Thanks Martinez. But I think we got more things to concern right now" The agent regain his composure.
"There are five people inside. They are unconscious. Also I found this robotic bird. It was talking about this treasure that was stolen. It sounds like it was stolen from those guys" Marlow inform her partner. Martinez looks at the robot parrot. Its eyes were flickering on.
"T-the-they t-t-took it" the parrot told the two agents, struggling to talk. Martinez and Marlow look at each other wondering what just conspire. "Who took what?" asked Marlow
"T-the…" the parrot's eyes flickered again. "T-t-the warzord… gem"
The rain continues to pour down on the agents. Let the adventure begin.
