On the Trail of a Madman
Chapter 4: The most Dangerous place on Earth?
A nuclear sub, the USS Barracuda approached the WOOHP island facility, that had been captured by the enemy, a team of international criminals known as the Brotherhood of Absolute Destruction. In the sub, Jerry was giving John last minute briefings.
"We shall approach the facility by sub, until about 2 miles from the island itself, that will ensure we do not set off the Sonar detectors." Jerry said
"What's the insertion method?" John asked
"Swimmer Delivery Vehicle, SDV, a one person submarine, that can get you to 1/14 mile from the island, from their you'll have to swim. We know one thing more, the soldiers you will encounter, they are all clones, created by Dr. Grosse." Jerry said
"Grosse!" John said, "He's here?"
"Yes, I understand that you and Grosse have a somewhat chequered past." Jerry said
"You mean do I want to rip him a new one?" John asked, "So, you don't care if I frag the clones?"
"No, they're just clones." Jerry replied, "Kill them if you wish, their have been a further two captures, Agent Brittany has been captured, also Amanda Luxe."
"Who is Amanda Luxe?" John asked
"A rookie agent. Well actually, Samantha's lover, but shes joined WOOHP when we found out about her acting abilities, she was brought in, and she has sworn loyally to whoop. She's not passed the tests yet, so she isn't an agent, but was captured with the spies." Jerry replied, as a siren sounded, and the sub stopped, "Quickly, suit up."
John took out the WOOHP uniform he had been assigned, a black uniform that looked as though it was made out of rubber. He fastened it up, and asked Jerry about it
"Mark 2 W.O.O.H.P-suit, with built in radio, motion tracker, G.P.S. and computer system. On this mission, A.I. Agent X will be with you, using the various tools, he will be able to hack computers, bypass locks, cut power and he will automatically map your position." Jerry said, as John placed on his helmet, and attached his oxygen tank.
"Ready!" he said, as the SDV sealed, and was launched to the island. About 1/4 mile away, and SDV opened, and John began the last part of the access to the island. As he approached the docking area, a guard was walking past. After he went by, John activated his thermal visor, and scanned the area.
"Hmm, they're expecting someone to come this way." John thought, noticing the guard number was high. Around the docking bay, their was a lot of canisters, containing W.O.O.H.P.'s new knockout gas. He was about to open one to cause a distraction, as he was still in the breathing gear, but he noticed a commanding officer talking to the guards.
"3 men will remain here, the rest of you will head to the munitions storage area, on the east side of the island, we have reports of an infiltration their." the man said
"Activating X" John muttered
"Greetings Agent Hawk." X said
"Who the hell is that guy?" John asked
"Ex WOOHP agent Mac Smit, now known as Tim Scam. He's intentions are usually homicidal." X said, "Do not confront him."
"Confront him? How, WOOHP didn't give me any weapons." John said
"You left your weapons?" X replied, "They were left in your room on the sub."
"Oh crap." John said, as Scam and the guards left, "I'm in trouble."
X shutdown, and John thought about how to arm himself. Taking off his air tank, he smiled, and began to damage the valve.
"If I open this, then it's going to launch." John laughed, as he saw a guard. Turning on X, he spoke
"What are the odds of hitting that guy with a flying air tank?" John asked, "I'll knock him into the water!"
"The chances of hitting are 90 against you." X said
"Statistics? Ha!" John said, smashing the valve, sending the tank flying towards the guard.
"I don't believe it, it's going to hit." X said
The guard saw the tank coming, "The hell?" he started, as the tank smashed into his head, then the tank entered the water.
"That's going to leave a mark." John observed, heading to the body, taking the weapons and uniform, and throwing the body into the water. Returning to the hidden alcove, he dressed in the uniform. Fortunately, the guards wore enclosed helmets, so the disguise was good enough. After placing his Woohp suit into the backpack, he headed to the armoury, to get some better weapons.
At the exit elevator, a guard called him
"Where's your access card?" he asked
John turned to face the guard, and reached for his gun behind his back, "Uh, I've got it right, here!" he said, whipping out the gun, and emptying a few rounds into the guards chest. The guard fell, screaming, causing the other guard to appear. This time John's aim scored a blow to the head, and the guard fell, dying instantly. John turned to the living guard, "Where are the prisoners?" he asked
"F..f..f..." the guard started, but stopped, as John put the barrel of the gun into one of the wounds
"I'll ask again." John said calmly
"J..J..J..Just do it." the guard said, "I'm n.n.n.n.not tal..talking."
John pulled the trigger, and finished the guard, taking his security card. Heading to the armoury, he used the security card to gain access.
"The jackpot." John laughed, "I'll change back into my w.o.o.h.p.-suit, and take some of these toys, and teach these clones a few things about pain."
"Whoa baby!" John replied, taking a new weapon, "W-X Mag-rail super-Accelerator cannon? A freakin mag launcher. Ammo is limited, I'll take something else with me also." he said, taking a sniper riffle, and a machine pistol. He then put on his w.o.o.h.p.-suit again, then headed outside, and he saw a guard coming
"Their he is!" he yelled, and opened fire. John dived behind the wall, then took the mag launcher, and turned it on.
"Now if I can only get a clean shot." John said
"Activate the X-ray scope on the W-X." X replied
"X-ray scope?" John asked, turning it on, "I can take out 2 with one slug if I aim correctly."
"I have some advice, aim for the bottom of the structure, their is a heavy armoured munition cache." X said, "The WX can cut through anything except steel bulkheads."
John aimed the mag launcher, and saw the ammo, "You loose!" he said, as he fired. The slug launched, super-accelerated by the magnetic charge, cut through the stone walls, and hit the box of ammo, continuing though the tower, then disintegrated. The box of ammo collapsed over the floor, powder scattering everywhere.
"Freeze!" a voice snarled, and a guard grabbed John, and hauled him towards the prison on the opposite side of the guard tower, "One false move, and we kill you."
"One request." John said, "As I'm going to die anyway, soon as your boss get's his hands on me." John reached into his suit, and pulled out a cigarette, "One last cigarette."
"Go ahead, make it quick." the guard said, "Those things will kill you quickly."
"Won't kill me." John said, lighting it up, and taking a draw, "Might kill some other guys, but not me." he added, flicking his match onto the ground. The gunpowder that the slug had thrown about caught fire
"What the hell's going on?" the guard said, seeing a trail of fire moving towards the tower
"Beats me." John replied, taking another draw. He then flicked the cigarette into the guard's eye. Screaming, the guard aimed his gun, as John dodged away. Suddenly, the tower's ammunition cache exploded, and John took off, towards the main ammunition storage area, shooting 2 guards, on the way. Quickly changing his uniform, he decided to remain in the guards clothing, and placed C4 around the base
"It'll take them out quickly." John said to X.
"I agree, just be careful with C4." X said
