Spells and Louds
Chapter 395: I am, Martin McKenzie.
(August 13, Royal Fortress, somewhere far off San Francisco.)
The whole naval platform is having a helluva party, music, dancing, drinks, and food and of course the fireworks display coming from the man flying around in his Tech Sector Suit. The man whose birthday is today! FutureTech CEO, Martin McKenzie!
He lands onto the stage and calls out. "Is everyone having a good time on here man?" They all cheer and the song plays, Luna and Sam play the song. "Don't stop the Party" by Pit bull.
Martin then hovers back down to ground level and he high fives with his good friends, who are his smart and also sort of his only friends onboard. Victor, Penny, Tadashi, Jack Cyber, Dr. Bruce Banner and Hiro and the smart teens from Big Hero 6. (Fred is there too, no clue why.)
"What up my nerds?!" said Martin. They all laugh and high five each other and fist bump. "This is what I call an awesome day for all of us, woo!" He then deactivates his suit.
"Pretty cool that you like it when your birthday is up huh? I mean, usually you're the retard who always focuses on work and not much on breaks, unless it involves your girlfriend" replied Jack Cyber.
"True, true. But we have no projects to commit, no worries to deal with, no missions to venture through and sure as hell we ain't got nothing to come up with until one of us cracks open an idea!" said Martin. "So, let's all just chill out and have a good time my people. Try and just keep it down a notch."
They all chuckle. "Man, this party is so awesome! Sure wish …. I actually came up with this for my birthday" said Victor. He then realizes how fun a party is when it's someone's birthday. "I now regret not celebrating my birthday party."
Martin then pats his back. "Hey dude, when next year comes, then we'll all have a hell of a good time for your birthday party! Hell yeah man, hell yeah!" Victor is unfazed by this, he just walks away from him.
Then Becky hugs him from behind. "Happy Birthday my blue streaked, sky high, armored nerd!"
Martin turns around and spins her around and they kisses her passionately. "When you're around my day just gets hotter by the minute babe."
Becky has a love daze and smirks. "Then perhaps tonight you and I can make things intimate, the two of us and one big bed." They then kiss passionately once again.
Penny chuckles. "Look at this place, everyone onboard is having such a fun time and all are just taking this nice and cool with what you planned, you actually made this more of a summer break than a birthday party."
"The only drawback though, is that we still got ships in the water patrolling, and also partying" replied Dr. Banner. "What's with that anyway?" He then eats his large slice of chocolate and vanilla cake.
Martin and Becky see this. "That was not my idea, General Railgun still wanted to ensure safety around the fortress so he has some Assault Destroyers tread the waters and also have some fun. The guy is on the watch tower and also enjoying this party, so it's all good man. We can have work and play at the same time, be serious and whimsical at the same time and of course take it nice and chillax and at the same time take things to the upmost of seriousness!"
"Wow. Didn't think you'd say that ever, usually it's just smart talk and number" replied Tadashi. They all chuckle from that and so does Martin.
"Guys, I'm 23 years old now and I wanna make sure things can change and at the same time we have some old memories keep the limitless journeys keep us going and a rolling!" said Martin as he puts on his shades and drinks his iced tea. He then looks around at everyone there.
All of the Royal Defenders have all come to attend the party, heck even Sombra, Winston and Torbjörn are there and he invited Lisa Loud?! Do not worry, she is being watched over by Lori and Luan.
Victor then comes back with some burgers. Everyone sure is having a good time and there ain't nothing gonna ruin this party!" They all cheered. Just then the Great Gate on the deck glows and coming through is a raven. "Me and my big mouth."
"Guys, guys. Chill, Gyro must be just late" said Martin. "Let me talk to the guy." Martin then sees the Raven fly towards him and morph into the Guardian. "What up my man?"
"Contact is inbound, all stations prepare for war!" said Gyro.
They are all shocked and Martin removes his shades. "What?"
They then hear the sound of the onboard siren, and hear the voice of General Railgun from the tower. "All stations. All stations, we have hostiles inbound and they're coming from the Pacific Waters!"
They all look onward to the vast oceans of the Pacific, all the Assault Destroyers change course and look ahead and ready they're guns, but they all see nothing. Lincoln activates his mask and sees something. "Guys, we got hostiles in the water and they seem like submarine class."
"Who the fuck would even come for us?" asked Leon, he and Sergei are eating some pie.
"German U-Boats!" said Gyro. An energy distortion was about to come up and I came here to warn you guys and also forgot it was this nerds birthday. I guess the energy distortion turned into a portal a little too early!"
"Why would there be German U-Boats coming here anyway?" asked Sergei. "This isn't even 1942!"
"The realms equilibrium is still being repaired after multiple ripples from events we have faced, and right now time is going rogue on us and we are about to go head into the gaping pats of history" said Gyro. "We have to take these subs down and capture the Krauts and send them back to their world."
"Then let's lock and load." Luna turns to her frost form and readies her Runeblade, and the others also power up and ready their weapons.
"Stop!" said Gyro. They all look to him. "This isn't your fight, this is an all-out naval warfare, so they can handle it. We need the admiral's confirmation to give orders to the fleet."
"Okay, so where's the admiral now?" asked Martin. "I don't recall us even having an admiral onboard the Royal Fortress."
"That's because you're the admiral you bloke" replied Gyro. They all remain silent and also shocked, Martin is stunned the most. "W-What?"
Gyro looks to him. "Dude, you are the fucking admiral. This is your main vessel!"
Martin then tries to calm down. "Whoa. Okay, first off I just run FutureTech, secondly, I am the CEO and the man in charge of building tech and a Royal Defenders, thirdly we have a General who can lead the charge and finally, I haven't led a fight in a long, long fucking time!"
"You built the Royal Fortress with the aid of your closest allies, you know this vessel inside and out, you applied all the schematics and run this thing as if it were also your home, so that makes you the admiral of this vessel. So, I suggest you stop bitching out and man up!" said Gyro sternly.
Martin then realizes this and he looks around, everyone looks to him as if they are awaiting orders. They all now see, that the man who runs FutureTech, is actually the admiral of the Royal Fortress. "Am I, Am I the Admiral of this vessel?"
They then hear the voice of General Railgun from the speakers. "Martin McKenzie, you listen to me very well. I only lead the charge when the army and military is being sent out, you are the one who runs this ship and keep track of everything onboard and from the papers I am seeing right now, says here that the day the Royal Fortress left port the leaders of th UN made you admiral. This file hasn't been checked on because we were too busy with everything else. So, you're orders sir?"
Martin then looks to everyone, he then looks to Becky. "This is your vessel, and we are all awaiting for your orders. You got this, this is your birthday as well. Just like you said."
"Take it nice and chillax and at the same time take things to the upmost of seriousness" replied Martin. He then looks to all the troops who are all standing by and ready. Martin knows, this is the moment to be the man he was, from the War of the Three Powers. "Man battle stations, all hands on deck and man battle stations!"
They all drop what they're doing and they get back to their posts and ready everything they got onboard.
Martin is then given something from Victor, it was a medal with the symbol of a ship and an eagle. "What is this?"
"Put it on, and push the eagle on the badge" replied Victor. Martin takes it and he puts it on his shirt and he pushes the button and his outfit is changed to that of a maritime Admiral.
"We follow you Admiral" said Jack Cyber.
Martin then nods and he puts on the Admiral's hat and uses binoculars. "Alright, so we got German U-Boats in the water. How many do we have on the sonar?"
They then hear GLADIS's voice. "The sonars have counted approximately 8 German U-Boats and all of them seem armed and ready for war. They're approach is the Royal Fortress."
"They won't sink this naval platform, no way!" Martin then uses his comm link radio to contact the 8 Assault Destroyers at sea. "All Assault destroyers, report in, I repeat report in. Captains onboard, give me response."
"This is Assault Destroyer Siege reporting in, sir!"
"Assault Destroyer Decker standing by and ready sir!"
"Assault Destroyer Trevorton ready for war sir!"
"Sir, this is Assault Destroyer Caliber reporting in."
"This is Assault Destroyer J.J. Shawn and all crew are ready."
"Assault Destroyer Messer and locked and loaded sir!"
"Assault Destroyer Dredge is war ready sir!"
"Admiral this is Flag ship, Assault Destroyer McKenzie and we are all awaiting orders, sir!"
Martin then lowers his binoculars. "All Assault Destroyers, engage the German U-Boats and knock em out of the water, sink those subs and if there are any survivors then bring them onboard and send them into the brig! Guns hot, Depth charges set and take them in flank speed!"
"Aye, aye, Admiral!"
Martin then goes to Jack Cyber. "Get the Naginata class Destroyers ready and lead the charge. Should those subs think about making a bee line out of the fight, then either turn it around or feed it to the sharks."
Jack Cyber nods and he speaks in Japanese top the radio, he then leaps off the Royal Fortress and he lands onto a Naginata Destroyer coming out of the Imperial Docks alongside 7 more.
"Victor, get the Akula subs to set up a perimeter around the Royal Fortress. They're body mass is far bigger than to that of a German U-Boat, so we know whose friendly and whose hostile, now go!" said Martin.
"Sir, yes sir!" Victor then heads off and gets into the Soviet Naval Shipyard to lead the Akula sub pack.
Martin looks to the Royal Defenders. "The rest of you, stand by and get ready for anything that happens." He then looks to Lincoln and Linka. "Take to the skies and scan the outer perimeter, if those subs launch torpedoes and they miss their shots, then take out the torpedoes before they hit anything civilian in the outer perimeter."
Lincoln and Linka nod and they get to their Netherdrakes and take off. Luna then summons Sindragosa and she and Sam hop on and they take off as well, and so does Neil. The rest of the Royal Defenders are gonna stay behind and watch as all of this unfolds.
Gyro stands next to Martin as they both have binoculars. "So, how does it feel to lead a naval army once again Admiral Martin McKenzie?" They spot the Assault Destroyers moving forward.
"Like shit." Martin then contacts the Assault Destroyers. "All ships, all ships new orders are inbouand."
"Listen, the Royal Fortress can be able to handle the hits from the U-Boat torpedoes, what matters are you 8 in the water, watch over each other and don't let those subs slip through and make sure you keep the kill count."
"Aye sir!"
Martin then replies. "God speed men, god speed!" He then looks to Penny. "Get to the Hydrofoils and Stingrays, we're gonna need them to be the rescue vessels." Penny nods and she goes to the Sea port.
Martin then looks to Tadashi. "Kid, head to the airfield and also make contact to the cleanup crew. Once those subs blow up, they'll be oil in the water. We're gonna need to clean the waters when this fucking fight is over."
"On it!" Tadashi heads for the cleanup crews sector, and so do Big Hero 6. They too wanna help clean the waters when the fight is over.
Martin then looks ahead to the open oceans. "Get ready for a mother fucking naval fight people!"
Out at the sea, not too far from the Royal Fortress. The 8 Assault Destroyers tread the waters and scan the sonars. "Sir, we got inbound U-Boat on our starboard and it's trying to bypass us sir!"
"This is Assault Destroyer Trevorton, we are engaging the enemy!" The Captain then looks to where the sub is. "Helmsman, hard Starboard!"
"Hard Starboard aye sir!"
"Fire control, get ready depth charges!"
The Assault Destroyer makes a hard starboard and tries to vut off the movement of the U-Boat. "Get ready to drop charges ….. Now!" The Assault Destroyer deploys its depth charges into the water and they detonate. The German U-Boat rattles and shakes from the new category explosions and then the sub surfaces. "We got him! We got him! Fire Control, sink that son of a bitch!"
The Assault Destroyer turns to its right and it locks its main gun and fires. The men on deck have grenade launchers and javelin rockets and they engage as well.
The German U-Boat tries to get to man the 88mm Flak gun on the sub, but they are shot at and with one final round the German U-Boat explodes. "This is Assault Destroyer Trevorton, we got a kill, I confirm again, we got a kill!"
"Splendid work Trevorton. Join up with the fleet and prepare for war."
Then they hear two more transmissions. "This is J.J. Shawn we are engaging a German U-Bot on our port!"
"Confirmed J.J Shawn, this is Dredge, we are closing on your position and we will make an assist."
"Roger that Dredge, we'll be hunting."
The two Assault Destroyers then make their way to track the sub trying to bypass them. The J.J Shawn fires mortar Depth charges and the Dredge fires torpedoes.
The blasts and incoming projectiles do slight damage and this forces the Germ U-Boat to surface. "Target is surfacing! Target is surfacing, Dredge! Let's make this Kraut sink!"
"We're on your mark J.J. Shawn!"
Both Assault Destroyers then use all their onboard guns and continue a barrage onto the German U-Boat, the bastard sub tries to turn around and fire its own torpedo, but it gets struck in the bow and explodes.
The two Assault Destroyers cheer. "Good hit. Good hit!"
"This is Messer. We're engaging two subs on our bow and we could use some assistance!"
"Roger that Messer, this is Caliber and we are inbound."
The Assault Destroyer then spots the Assault Destroyer Messer firing its depth charges onto one of the subs, the number of depth charges are ten and the U-Boat surfaces and explodes. "We got him!"
"Try the same thing onto the other one, we'll also follow!"
The two Assault Destroyers then send a raining barrage of Depth charges that all enter the water and they manage to dodge the incoming torpedo and the German U-Boat explodes from the many explosions. "That's a hit! Get got a kill! I repeat, this is Caliber, we and the Messer got a kill!"
"All vessels, this is Decker, we are hunting a U-Boat and we got another one on our stern!"
"Affirmative Decker, this is Siege. We are coming in to assist." The Assault Destroyer then makes a hard port and spots the Assault Destroyer Decker firing its weapons onto the running U-Boat and at the same time using evasive maneuvers against the other U-Boat chasing it. "We got a lock on it!"
The Decker then fires a single round into the water and it punches the Germen U-boat in the rudder and the Assault Destroyer sends another round and this time is makes a direct hit and they see the water exploding. "Good hit, but we got one on our stern still!"
"We got his Decker! Cut you're engine, I got an idea!" Assault Destroyer Siege then sends Depth Charges onto the sub and it has no choice but to surface. Big Mistake!
As the sub surfaces it didn't know the Assault Destroyer was right next to it! The main gun turns and snipes the sub at near point blank range! The shell is so powerful that the round pierces through the German U-Boat and it hits another German U-Boat that was about to attack the Flag ship, McKenzie.
"Sweet Christ, this is Decker. We got two kills, I repeat two kills! Two kills with only one round!"
"Good job Decker, this is flag ship McKenzie. The remaining ships and I are hunting the last U-Boat as we speak. Decker and Siege, join us if you can."
"Aye sir."
All eight Assault Destroyers take chase onto the last German U-Boat, but the vessel turns around and tries to fire its torpedoes onto them.
The German U-Boat sends as many torpedoes onto the flag ship, but the torpedo doesn't punch it and just bounces off and swims elsewhere only to be blasted by the Netherdrakes.
Martin then makes the call. "All ships, all ships stand by and hold the line!" They all stand by. "Weapons up!" They're guns point to the lone German U-Boat. "Fire!"
All 8 Assault Destroyers send a barrage of armaments onto the little submarine. The German U-Boat tries to make a turn around, but the immense barrage strikes the German U-Boat all over and it make a massive explosion, and they all see the parts of the German U-Boat fly out of the water and slam back onto the sea.
All the ships onboard cheer and chuckle at the battle they had. Then, rescue boats arrive to search for German survivors and cleanup crew choppers and vessels arrive to clean up the oil.
Onboard the Royal Fortress, everyone cheers for the victory.
The Royal Defenders and to the ones in the air are also cheering for this, and they all clap and cheer to Martin for his quick thinking. "Come on people, this was a team effort. But the sole credit is to them." they all look to the eight Assault Destroyers coming back and they all cheer for them.
Gyro stands next to Martin. "You did it Admiral, you have proven why you were given this rank months ago."
Martin smirks. "Happy fucking Birthday to me and a glorious victory to the all of us!"
The crew of the eight Assault Destroyers come out and they salute to the Royal Fortress, and Martin salutes back.
They have all earned some rest and they all still have a party to celebrate.
To be continued …..
A/N: Happy Birthday Martin McKenzie and god speed to any other threat you may face, Admiral. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Next chapter will mention about the aftermath, including the number of German's who may or may not have survived the attack. This whole thing was made, when I finally saw the film, Greyhound, and it was awesome!
