"So how's the engine room going Adam?" I asked my friend on a video screen.
"Well it seems that one of the engines overworked itself and imploded. I'm surprised it didn't blow up." Adam said.
"Well the captain wants it fixed soon so we can continue to our defense position." I said.
Let me explain what's happening. My name is Luke Damson. I am a combat navy unit onboard the ship freedom fighter. I joined the navy after a terrorist attack destroyed my hometown… where my parents were killed. And all of this was because we had a hole in our sea defensives. So I joined the navy so I could be on the ship to fill that hole in the defensives. As the ship was being built there were many more attacks with a severe amount of civilian casualties. My favorite handgun is the SIG-Sauer P226 and it is used by the United States Navy SEALS. But I was able to get one after I saved a few SEALS when some terrorist attacked the ship yard where the freedom fighter was being built. My secondary sidearm was the Heckler & Koch MP5N which I also got when I saved the SEALS. And last but not least my primary sidearm was the Colt 9mm SMG. That thing saved me so many times during attacks on the shipyard. I was 19 which make me the youngest on the ship amazingly and I was 5 foot 4 inches. "Okay try it now Luke." Adam told me. As I pushed multiple buttons and pulled some levers there was a sputter and it started.
"YES!" Adam yelled. Then it sputtered out and died. "FUCKING GOD DAMMIT!"
"Easy there Adam. Third times the charm." I said laughing a little.
"I would like to see you come down here and try and fix this mess." He said causing me to laugh harder. So I watched him fiddle around for a few minutes and then he gave me a thumbs up and I did the same thing again but this time it stayed on. "Fucking finally. Want to get something to eat?" he asked wiping off his hands with a rag.
"Sure. I heard its taco Tuesday." And as soon as I said that he was no longer there and he appeared at the door to the control room.
"Did you say taco Tuesday?" he asked with a smile on his face.
"Yes I did Adam. Let's go." As I stood up from the chair and stretched my back I followed him into the mess hall where all the crew where eating their food. So me and Adam got into line and as soon as we got our tacos and we sat down with our other friends. "Hey guys." I told them as I pulled out a chair and sat down.
"So you guys finally got that stupid engine fixed. I guess I owe you 50 bucks John." Sally said frowning.
"You guys bet on us?" Adam said.
"I bet John that you guys wouldn't be finished by the time we finished eating. So I just fucking lost." She said handing the money to John who just smiled and put it in his wallet. "Yeah, yeah fuck you to John." And with that we all laughed.
"So what was the problem with the engine?" Chloe asked.
"It overworked itself and it imploded on itself. I'm surprised it didn't blow up." Adam said.
"Well if it did implode then we will have to be more careful with our other engines." James said.
"Yes we will." I heard a voice say behind me. When I turned around in the chair to see who it was it was none other than the captain. "Afternoon captain." I said waving my hand a little.
"Good to see you guys didn't die in that engine room." He said laughing a little.
"Well we are glad as well." Adam said. "We found out that the engine had imploded on itself. We are all surprised it didn't blow up."
"It imploded?" he said rubbing his chin. "Well I will send a team down to keep an eye on the engines. For now I am putting the ship on alert level yellow. I have a suspicion about something." He said.
"Yes sir." We all said finishing our tacos and walking to the top of the ship.
"Alert level yellow. If the captain put the ship on that then we might all need to be prepared for something." Sally said.
"I wonder what's going to happen." Chloe asked.
"Well we will see when we see it." John said. "So what do you guys want to do?"
"How about we all just go back to our barracks and relax." I suggested. So they all looked at each other and they all looked at me and nodded. So as we all headed back to our barracks we all said hi to the people on the way and when we reached our barracks I decided to lie down on my bunk and I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
ALERT LEVEL RED
ALERT LEVEL RED
BATTLE STATIONS
That was what I woke up to and I saw my friends getting into their gear. "What the fucks going on?" I asked getting off my bunk and started to get my gear on.
"The ship is under attack. Remember our plan." John said cocking his shotgun. Our plan was to protect the bridge and if the ship was to be overrun before we head to the evac subs we were to destroy all the ships data to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. As I finished equipping my gear I grabbed my weapons and we started to run around the ship. We heard multiple explosions and continues gunfire all around the ship. As we reached the bridge there were 2 dead guards outside the door. "Those guys were fucked." Adam whispered.
"We will have to assume that the bridge is compromised. Prepare to give them hell." And with that as soon as the door slid open, and Adam and I crouched up front and we lit up every single enemy in the room. As soon as they were all dead we walked in keeping our weapons raised. "Damn those bastards." I heard John say as we walked over body after body of our dead allies.
"Check the ship cameras. See if there are any more survivors." I told Sally. As she ran over and got onto the computer the door opened again leading to gunfire causing us to jump behind some consoles. "Return fire." I yelled as one at a time we took pot shots at the group of attackers and then we moved to a different spot and another one opened fire. We took out one by one when it was my turn as I stood up they were all pointing the guns at where I was. "Shit!" I said as I quickly ducked down but not before I was shot in the arm and leg causing me to go into major pain.
"Luke! That's it you bastards. Take this!" Adam yelled throwing a grenade in the middle of them all. After a few seconds it finally blew up killing the last of the enemy's. As I stayed sitting with pain still flowing through my body Chloe walked over with a med kit and started working on my leg first. As I arched in pain from her pulling out the bullets in my leg she finally finished on my leg she got to work on my arm which was more painful than her working on my leg. "Sally report." I said after I yelled in pain.
"We… we… we are the only ones left." She said and we all stayed there shocked at what she said.
"Son of a bitch. Okay here's. The plan. You guys get to the escape subs and find help. I'll stay here." Adam said.
"No fucking way Adam. You have a family… I don't anymore. I'm staying. Plus I would only slow you guys down." I said standing up and almost fell back onto the floor if I hadn't grabbed a console to support me.
"Are you sure Luke? You can still start a family you know that?" Chloe asked.
"Who would want me? Just go."
"But-"
"I SAID GO!" and with that they all stood in line and saluted me as they all funneled out the destroyed door and I walked over to my weapons. I still had 4 and a half magazines for my SIG and I run out of ammo for my Heckler, and luckily I had 6 magazines for my Colt. As I sat at a console aggravating my leg wound I started typing in codes on the ships main console.
PASSWORD:
So I typed in my squad's password.
PASSWORD: LEROY JENKINS
I laughed at what my squad chose to be our code for the computers data. We sometimes used it to watch videos from our favorite youtubers. My personal favorite was the youtuber PopularMMOs and his lucky block challenge games. I know I won't be able to ever watch him again with what I'm going to do next. As I wiped all the data from the ships hard drive I enacted the second part of my plan that only I knew about along with the other team leaders on the ship. If ship is taken over the data must be wiped… and the ship must be blown up to kill all enemies on board. I watched as I saw my team enter a single escape sub and then I watched it detach and take off. I smiled as I knew that they would make it after I activated the self-destruct on the ship.
SELF DESTRUCT: YES
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO ACTIVATE THE SELF DESTRUCT: YES
SELF DESTRUCT ACTIVATED
SHIP WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN 1 MINUTE.
Damn the captain and his timer at 1 minute. As I got out of the chair and grabbed the weapons I started to make my way towards the deck. As I was shuffling I ran into multiple enemies that I quickly eliminated with my SIG and I finally reached the deck. As I searched for a way off the ship I spotted an apache at the far end of the deck. As I started to shuffle my way towards the apache I sensed something behind me and when I turned around I saw enemies swarming out of all the entrances leading to the deck and I was surrounded. "You think you can leave the ship? We were ordered to kill everyone on the ship to prevent anyone from warning the fleet." I heard a familiar voice say behind me. When I turned around I stood there shocked at who it was. It was the captain.
"Why are you doing this to your own country? Why?" I yelled.
"Because they never gave me the revenge I wanted. The rebels in Korea had killed my sons and daughter that were in a hospital building because of a bomb that they survived from. And they all charged in there and killed everyone! Nurses, doctors, Marine's, even all the injured… and that included my sons and my daughter. These people have promised me vengeance if I do what they said." he said smiling.
"But you are killing innocent lives! I looked up to you!" I yelled.
"Well than you made a bad decision."
SELF DESTRUCT IN 10…
"You activated the fucking self-destruct!" he yelled.
9…
"Of course I did. It was in the book of plans." I said.
8…
"If the ship is taken over the ships data must be erased…"
7…
"And the ship is to be blown up to kill all enemies aboard." I said.
6…
"But you doomed yourself in the process!" he yelled.
5…
"I know…"
4…
"And I am happy to either live…"
3…
"Or die for my country." And with that I started to run towards the left side of the deck so I could jump off the ship.
2…
"KILL HIM!" and with that gunfire erupted all around me as I got ready to jump.
1…
"So I jumped off the side as I was hit in the back with a few bullets.
0…
And with that the ship started to explode starting in the engine room and then the bridge, and last but not least the body of the ship exploded… and the explosion sent me flying far away from the ship and I felt shrapnel from the explosion implant itself all over my body except for my head and the pain was sent throughout my body and when I landed in the water I fell unconscious but before that happened I heard a yell and then I felt myself being lifted out of the water…
