After about a month the captain announced"we are on the border of Somalian waters"
Rock"Already I thought it would take 6 months, oh well Dutch at least you are now used to the second weights I gave you so you should have made a at least a 20% increase in your energy level. Plus you can shoot like me now and can sense birds a kilometre away, you have certainty improved. Those pirates won't know what shit storm their provoking."
Rock smirked.
Dutch laughed.
Then in the distance they both felt around 700 people split in groups of mostly three in 200 small boats coming at them fast.
Dutch" we've got company get our new toy ready with fuel and loaded with as many magazines as that thing can reliably carry, we got a shit load of boats coming."
Rock" I've got a total of 600 bullets loaded in to those 20 magazines plus the ammunition I'm carrying, that should before than enough, for these mooks."
Dutch"mooks never heard that one before."
Rock"I read a few dragonball z scripts, they used that word a lot when describing no-named soldiers."
Dutch taking off his weights running to where the guns are drops them takes his and Rocks tactical vests filled with magazines in hand with the other he slings his rifle with grenade launcher on his back, grabs Rock's rifle then runs and droops everything of rocks in front of him.
Rock notices this and asks"Time?"
Then he senses for energies and finds out they are now barely a minute away.
Dutch answers "Time."
With that Rock and Dutch put on their vests, change the lever from safety to single shot and pull the charge handle sticking out the side to load a round into the barrel.
Dutch"Benny where the fuck is that ammo cart"
Benny "it's ready I'm just waiting for you to call for extra ammo. I'll deliver it to you when you are on your last magazine so call out then."
Then after around 40 seconds the pirates were almost in range Dutch yelled "Cover"
Rock and Dutch immediately ran behind different shipping containers, and got ready to fire as soon as they were in range, Benny was already behind cover.
Then as soon as they got into range a hail storm of epic proportions rained down on the pirates, every bullet hit and killed pirates with RPG's, both Rock and Dutch were changing position every time they cleared a boat. Then when no more RPGs were in the hands of pirates, Rock and Dutch mowed down more of the pirates moving after they cleared a boat until Dutch yelled out "Last Mag"
Benny now controlled his Ammo Cart and drove it right to where Dutch was and parked it near him behind the shipping container of course.
Dutch then replaced all the empty mags with full ones. He then changed position and continued to rain hail fire down on the pirates killing each one with one bullet each.
After a couple of minutes Rock yelled "Last Mag" then Benny drove the Ammo Cart the short drive to Rock where again he parks it out of harms way, Rock then replaced all his empty mags with full ones. Then not even after a second that Rock had filled his vest Dutch yelled "Last Mag"
Benny then Yelled "Rock you done?"
Rock yelled back " Yes"
Benny controlled the Ammo cart to drive and park safely next to Dutch who then replaced his mags again.
Both their guns roared like a thunder god in the setting sun raining death and horror onto the pirates as Rock and Dutch athletically jumped around after wiping out boat crew after boat crew.
After 5 more minutes the sea was red with the blood of an armada of pirates, with Dutch, Rock and Benny completely unharmed like a new born baby not even a minor graze.
Rock "Time to load up all their weapons magazines and ammo oh and fuel."
Dutch" I second that"
Rock then put a fresh magazine in his gun and out the safety on and slung it on his back. Dutch did the same. Then Rock instantly inflated the inflatable boat with the tiny engine, threw down the ladder and climbed down with the inflatable part , motioning for Dutch to carry the engine.
Then Dutch suggested"why don't we use The Black Lagoon instead were not taking those tiny shit boats back with us."
Rock then said" it is because I want one I also got the other boat because I wanted one you could use one of these boats as a last minute escape from the lagoon if god forbid it sinks or it could be used as a distraction."
Dutch "you bring up good points and you know what if you can securely attach 2 boats to the Lagoon you can keep whatever boat and yacht you want when we get back."
Rock then climbed down with the inflated boat set it down and waited for Dutch to get in and attach the engine.
They then went to the first boat tied the inflatable to it then searched the dead bodies for anything useful like magazines tactical vests and money then drove to the nearest boat and did the same thing except Dutch would take control of this one.
They searched all the boats, when the boats were full, all that stuff was put in the Lagoon the inflatable was deflated then put in the Lagoon as well and the boats continued searching for valuable and useful things until all the boats and bodies were searched. All the magazines, ammo, weapons, guns, vests and fuel in jerry cans were put in The Black Lagoon's hold and organised separating out empty 7.62x39 magazines from loaded ones that were usually half full, both were put on the same side with a gap between them, the Kalashnikovs were separated into a pile of 5.56x39 and 7.62x39, RPG-7's were piled on the other side of the hold next to them their ammo in crates, grenade launcher ammo for Dutch's grenade launcher were put in a different crate. The other weapons and ammo were separated from each other and the same ammo was sorted in to fruit boxes filled with one type of ammo and guns that used that ammo.
The hold was 50% Kalashnikov models and ammo, 25% RPG-7's and ammo, the other 25% was made up of other assorted guns and ammo ,vests and fuel in Jerry cans.
Then once Rock's boat was empty for the last time he drove around looking for the two best boats, once he found them he got off his boat got on the best boat and searched for another boat that was better or the same, once he found one he tied it to his new boat and then got in the faster boat with the more powerful and reliable engine of the two.
He then drove the boats to The Black Lagoon temporarily tied both to it then went inside and grabbed more ropes. Rock then exited and untied the two pirate boats from each other then securely tied them each front and back to The Black Lagoon on one side. Similar to how the Lagoon is currently tied to the Transport Ship.
When Dutch arrives back with a full load "I see you secured the boats looks like you get to keep whatever the hell you want. Which one have you claimed?"
Rock "They are both fibre glass Tinnies but the black one with a red Racing stripe is mine.
Dutch "I see you got me a similar one that is Red, White and Blue."
Rock "I hope you appreciate the colours of your birth county."
Dutch "Rock I fucking love it."
They both smile
Dutch"wanna cold one?"
Rock "sure lets get Benny in on this he deserves a beer just as much as we do he really came through with that Ammo Cart of his."
Dutch"It was still your idea."
Rock" yeah but I couldn't build it I tried to buy one but I couldn't find what I wanted so I asked Benny as a last resort. And man did he pull through, if we were a normal company both him and me should get a raise."
Dutch"yeah but with us everyone gets an equal share of the bounty."
They then climbed up the ladder from the Lagoon to call Benny only to find that he was nowhere and so was their stuff that they left.
Rock thinking out-loud for the first time "I bet Benny took all our stuff and put in in the Lagoon and is currently in his room talking to his girlfriend."
Dutch"yeah good thinking Rock"
They then climbed down to the Lagoon and then once inside grabbed three beers from the fridge and knocked on Benny's door.
Dutch " wanna beer Benny?"
"See you baby gotta go" a mouse clicks and the sound of a laptop could be heard closing "yeah sure can you wait a bit"
Dutch "yeah we'll put yours back in the fridge. We'll be on the bow."
A short time later Benny came up onto the bow with a beer in his hand and an esky in the other and sat down next to Dutch putting the esky down then twisting off the cap taking a swig.
Rock"hey Benny we talked about how useful your machine was and your driving skills for that thing, saved our bacon more than enough times."
Benny"yah I am good I'm the best at everything I put my mind to, that is why I am the best information analyst, Radar analyst, Computer security specialist and electronic engineer you could ever hire. Speaking of radar how come both of you know when the enemy is coming before my portable radar picks it up.?"
Rock" ever heard of sensing energy?"
Benny "not in real life, only in anime and manga. So what you're telling me that both of you now can sense energy that goes beyond the range of this portable radar."
Rock"yes it is real what's worse is that I learnt about it the hard way, you know when I was shot and stayed hidden from you guys, those mercs could not only sense my energy they could have easily killed you all like we just did to those pirates."
Benny"if they could sense energy how did you escape them then?"
Rock"my animal instinct kicked in and I lowered my energy some how but then later I worked out how I did it, also just after I lowered my energy I learnt how to sense energy and could do it with a range big enough that I could feel the mercs energy. Let me tell you their energy was off the charts but now I am about the same as them."
Benny "so you no longer need my radar skills now right?"
Rock "what is the range on the radar of The Black Lagoon Benny?"
Benny "20km"
Rock "nah Benny your job is still safe. I can feel up to about 10 km plus you forgot to add military support to your list of skills."
Rock "how did you become an electronic engineer?"
Benny" I taught myself through my hobby of building RC cars from parts and learnt how to code from my other hobby turned profession of..."
Rock" Computer security specialist I know you kept correcting me from saying hacker. How did you learn to operate the radar?"
Dutch "I taught him I figured if he was smart enough to hack into the Pentagon he could easily learn to use the radar and interpret how far people were I just had to teach him the nautical directions and operate the radar."
"Oy lazy shits get your arse up here and do your job." The Captain of the ship yelled without appreciation of what they had just accomplished.
Dutch "No rest for the wicked I suppose."
Benny took the esky inside the boat and everyone finished their beers.
Rock "don't chuck out the glass bottles, they could be turned into Molotov's, if need be. We should keep up to 10 empty bottles."
Dutch"ever the good ideas man, Rock you never disappoint. Though I did find a crate of Grenades, a crate of C4 and detonators."
Benny went down the hatch put the esky where it was inside the boat then took out the remaining bottles of unopened beers and put them back in the fridge before Following Dutch climbing out and then up on to the transport ship Rock however found his rifle and cleaning kit in his room and cleaned his rifle before following Dutch and Benny.
Two weeks passed with out incident and finally arrived in Mozambique.
They got paid 40 000 American in their bank accounts in Roanapur and used all the extra fuel they scavenged from all the boats to drive The Black Lagoon back to Roanipur it took one month and two weeks to get back, pirates who saw their ship fled as soon as they could.
When they got back to Roanipur Rock took his Tinny and drove to the beach that he landed his sloop that he found and sold at some point, he took with him a scavenged tactical vest and a 7.62x39 Kalashnikov with a sling that had a grenade launcher attachment that was similar to Dutch's except it had a folding stock, he took it to the gun shop owner to get it engraved with a skull and crossbones it was completed in an hour and he paid 3 American for it, he then went back to the Tinny drove to The Black Lagoon and securely tied his Tinny to the boat again like before.
A Tinny is a small boat originally made of tin now made with aluminium and some are fibreglass, that usually between 13 and 15 feet and has a small motor at the back.
