Penny and Bolt ran down the long hall as fast as they could and ducked behind a pile of crates. Bolt let off a low rumbling at the sight of the henchmen on the helipad. Penny held a finger to her lips and pointed to Calico. Bolt's hackles rose as he caught sight of the villain. His eyes followed his movements and his entire body tensed. There were no words to describe how much Bolt or Penny hated Calico. Bolt's upper lip curled slightly as he watched Calico walk over to the guard who was tending to Gus.
"what happened?" Calico asked sharply.
"well…" we don't know. Said the guard. "we were here and then he… sort of crashed backwards through the wall." Calico frowned, deep in thought.
"see to it he makes a full recovery." Calico said crisply. "as for the rest of you; I want this helicopter ready to move!" with that he strode away.
Penny and Bolt had followed Calico's helicopter to China where they saw the helicopter had landed on a big cargo ship. Upon further investigation they discovered that this ship had some rather deadly cargo on it. Calico was shipping missiles.
"Bolt, I need to destroy this boat!" Bolt nodded. Penny pressed the elevator call button and was about to step in, but there was a guard in there.
"hey!" he yelled. Bolt leapt over and smacked him into the elevator wall to knock him out. Penny entered the elevator and took it back to the main deck. Several guards dropped into the cargo hold from above and Bolt slammed on the floor to knock them away. He sent a weak super bark after one, smashing through a bunch of crates. The creates exploded and Styrofoam went everywhere. Bolt shuddered at the sight of the substance. He smacked into the barrel the guard was standing on top of and made it explode. He then went crazy, smacking the remaining guards into explosive barrels and anything he could find really. He slammed on a grate in the middle of the room and it fell open, leaving Bolt to fall into the lower area of the boat. He looked around at the pipes rerouting water out of the ship. He leapt at the pressure gauge of one and twisted until it came off. Water began to leak into the room. An alarm sounded and a bunch of guards dropped down to see what the problem was. Bolt smacked them all up and did it again to the pipe on the right of the one already leaking. The pump started to pump the water out of the boat and more guards came in through the metal roller door on the back wall to see what the problem was. Bolt smacked them all up and jumped up some boxes to the pump. He jumped in and crashed down on it to break it. Then he went over to the other side of the room, picked a pipe and twisted its pressure gauge until it came off and water streamed into the boat. Another alarm sounded and attracted more guards which Bolt smacked up before twisting off the pressure gauge of the last pipe. The pump on the other side started to pump the water out of the boat. Bolt jumped up the boxes and over to the control room. He broke through the glass and smacked up a guard in there so he wouldn't bother him later. Then something jumped down from above into the mechanical room. Flicking a paw it leapt up onto the ledge of the control room.
"what the hell do you think you're doing?" growled Gus.
"something you can't stop." Bolt snarled a reply.
"want to bet?" Gus snapped, shooting a burst of flame. Bolt flopped over from the heat but when Gus leapt on him, the super dog kicked him off the platform. Bolt leapt over to the pump and crashed down on it, destroying it. The room quickly filled with water. A guard came out of a door into the room. Bolt jumped over and smashed him up. Gus leapt from the box he's been standing on to the platform near the control room. "I hate water." He said, and then growled at Bolt. Gus leapt over and grabbed Bolt by the collar, jumping up and summersaulting then slamming the super dog on the ground with a Pillar Dive. Then he grabbed Bolt again and back flipped, throwing Bolt into the wall before grabbing him again and throwing him on the ground in a Slam. The he grabbed Bolt and threw him to one side in a Toss. And then he finished up with a Dash Attack that nearly sent Bolt staggering over the edge of the platform. As Bolt leapt towards Gus, the wolf dog countered him with a Strong Attack, knocking Bolt over to the control room platform. Gus jumped after him and unleashed a Dash Combo., knocking Bolt across to the other side of the room before following up with a Strong Combo., smashing Bolt into the wall. Gus growled the back of his throat glowing orange. Bolt leapt over him and into the water, diving down to the bottom. The wolfdog spun and unleased his magnesium flame on the water. The fire heated the liquid up but because of the room's size, it couldn't reach Bolt right at the bottom. Bolt leapt up out of the water and onto the ledge. The super dog lunged at Gus but Gus slammed down in a Ground Pound, knocking the super dog back into the water. While he was still on the surface, Gus fired the viscus fluid at him. Bolt dived under and the fire harmlessly vanished to steam. Bolt leapt out of the water straight at Gus. Gus jumped up and grabbed the super dog by his collar, Pillar Diving him back into the water. As Gus fell he grabbed for the ledge and pulled himself away from the liquid he despised so much. Bolt tried to attack while he was distracted but, mustering all his super strength, Gus leapt up and crashed into Bolt, driving him into the wall on the opposite side of the ship. Gus growled the back of his throat glowing orange. Bolt wriggled away from him and leapt back into the water before Gus could hit him with the flames. The magnesium fire just fizzled away harmlessly on the surface of the cold liquid. Gus shot again, and again, and again, and again. then he waited and when Bolt had to surface for air, Gus unleashed his fire. Bolt stared at the blast and there was an explosion in the air. Bolt dived under the water, but Gus was sent flying into the wall. Gus shot an angry plasma blast across the water. Bolt leapt at Gus and Gus grabbed him by the collar and threw him into the wall. Gus pinned Bolt up against it but Bolt kicked him back and Gus scrabbled to avoid falling in the water. Then he grabbed Bolt and threw him into the ground in a Slam before throwing him aside with a Toss. Bolt crashed into Gus and the wolfdog scrabbled at the edge of the platform, definitely not wanting to fall back into the water. Bolt gave him a hard shove to make sure he was going to have to get wet either way and then dashed through the door, closing it behind him.
