Chapter 10: Under Siege!
The USS Allentown
"We're being pushed back!" Torpedo exclaimed. The Joes and the West Coast Misfits were fighting the Battle Android Troopers that were acting as the crew of the USS Allentown. The BAT forces were a mix of the standard black Battle Android Troopers and blue fish-like BATs known as Tritons, Battle Android Troopers specially designed for underwater/amphibious operations. Despite the valiant efforts of the military forces and their skills and the West Coast Misfits' amazing mutant abilities, they were being pushed back.
"Yeah, I'm running low on daggers!" Longshot exclaimed. His eye glowed yellow as he called upon one of his mutant abilities of superhuman agility to dodge the BAT's laser guns and the Tritons' weaponry. He responded by throwing daggers, his weapon of choice, at the robots. Meanwhile, the remaining Joes and West Coast Misfits on board the pirate ship of Bluebeard, which they hijacked to use for the mission.
"It's braking free!" Kyle yelled out. "The Allentown is breaking free! Get your jabroni butts back here!" Of all the rotten luck! If it weren't for that stupid Pulse Modulator, the Thunderbolt could use his powers, and the Joes wouldn't need to steal this oversized floating wooden plank to get their hands on that traitorous jabroni Larson! Kyle grumbled. The Pulse Modulator was a weapon that could disable all electronic devices and ships near it. Unfortunately, the device also could cancel out Kyle's mutant ability to generate and manipulate electrical power, and it really got under the skin of the hot-headed Bostonian. Back on board the Allentown, the battle continued.
"Ah, this girly pop gun isn't any good! I need a big ol' cannon." Whithalf said to himself. The old general grinned as he noticed one of the Allentown's turrets. The admiral grinned as he ran to the turret and climbed inside. "Hang on you guys! I got this!"
"Uh oh! He's got a big gun! SCATTER!" Jester screamed. Whithalf cackled as he fired the turret wildly, sending shells everywhere!
"Watch it!" Toshi yelled as he dodged a shell in midair. Theresa yelped as she did the same. On board the Allentown, one could hear Kyle and Terrell laughing their heads off. Whithalf's crazed turret rampage turned out to also have a greater use than scaring the bejesus out of his charges. The turret mowed down BATs like grass, and it ended up destroying the Pulse Modulator.
The bridge of the USS Allentown
Destro looked down at the action going down on the deck from the bridge. He also noticed Admiral Jones's fleet heading to the Allentown. He shook his head, and walked toward a console. He started typing commands into it. He was noticed by Admiral Larson, who was wearing his new blue Cobra Navy uniform.
"What're you doing, Destro?" Larson asked.
"I'm programming the auto-weapons system to destroy the Seventieth Fleet."
"It won't do any good. The Pulse Modulator's destroyed. We won't stand a chance. We've lost." Larson told the Scotsman. Destro nodded.
"Indeed. But you have forgotten one important saying we have in Cobra: Cobra hasn't lost - just you!" Destro shoved Larson down and made his escape. On the way out, he saw the malfunctioning BAT walk into a wall over and over. "Bah!" Destro slapped it upside the head.
The lead ship of the Seventieth Fleet
"Sir! The Allentown is within range of our long-range weapons. Shall we fire, sir?" A sailor asked Admiral Jones. The admiral put down his binoculars.
"Load the cannons, but remain on standby." Jones ordered. "I want to give Whithalf and those soldiers and super-kids of his a chance."
The USS Allentown
Whithalf emerged from the turret, whistling at the pieces of BATs everywhere.
"Did I do that?" The old general snickered. He noticed Destro run by. "Hey!"
"Aw no." The steel-masked Scotsman groaned when he saw Whithalf run up to him. He picked up the pace.
"Hey! Come back here, you Cobra punk! Hey, I'm talking to you!" Whithalf snapped as he chased after Destro. Destro managed to get to a Trubble Bubble, a small one man white craft with VTOL capability. Destro jumped inside and took off. "Blast it! Oh my God! Larson!" Whithalf ran into the control deck, and he found Larson furiously working at a console. "Larson! What're you doing, man!"
"I'm trying to reprogram the Allentown's automatic firing mechanism, but I'm not having any luck! There's nothing I can do." Larson sighed. "The Seventieth Fleet is going to eat the Allentown for breakfast…and there's nothing I can do." The two generals eyed the malfunctioning BAT continuing its quest to walk through the wall. "And somebody needs to fix that thing."
Well, well, well! Looks like the craziness shall continue! What insanity will happen next? Can Whithalf and Larson reprogram the controls? Can our heroes save the day? Will someone fix that BAT! Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
