Ok, so when we last left David, he, Blonski, and Bolt were found be a task force of American special ops soldiers, led by C.I.A. agent Felix Lither who agrees to help them, and they find a prisoner who shares information with them, and David beats the prisoner out of anger after he taunts David by threatening Penny. I'm glad that this story is coming to an end, but that will be a few parts away. Originally, in the last chapter, it was that David shot and killed the prisoner, but after some of the controversy that I faced, I have altered it to tone it down for some of you readers, I just want to let you guys know. So anyway, I hope you guys like the results. As always, review when you're done, and enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 15
Time: 0350 hrs.
Area: Swiss Alps
Location: Calico's main hideout base
Penny was feeling at the moment that she was all alone. Ever since she had been taken hostage by Lori and some of Calico's men, they had taken her to Calico's main base in the Swiss Alps where they placed her in a prison cell with an electric collar strapped to her neck. The prison cell she was placed in was wide, dimly lit, and had a door that was made of indestructible glass. She was sitting on the hard, solid bed with thoughts racing through her mind. What are they gonna do to me? What is Calico doing with that satellite? Will I ever see my dad again? For all of these questions, she didn't know the answer to; all she hoped for were that Bolt and David were ok and that they will come for her. Suddenly, doors to the prison area's entrance opened, footsteps were heard, and Penny knew who it was. Lori had entered with two guards at her side.
"Wait here" Lori said to her men "I'll take care of this myself"
"Yes ma'am" they both said before stationing themselves between the entrances to the prison area. Lori continued to walk over to Penny's cell with a device in her hands. He father had given her the remote that controlled Penny's electric collar and would use it with lethal intention if Penny tried anything. Penny looked up to the door of her cell after Lori stopped in front of it.
"Well, well, is our guest enjoying her stay" Lori said in a sarcastic tone.
"What do you want?" Penny asked her.
"I've just come to let you know that in ten minutes, you will be brought up to the main deck to watch the final stages of my father's plan" Lori said informing her.
"What is he planning to do with it?" Penny asked her.
"That's none of your business" Lori said to her "You'll find out when you get up there"
"You know, by now David and Bolt are coming for me and my dad" Penny said to them "And when he gets here, you'll be sorry that you took me in the first place" Penny looked a Lori waiting for a response, but suddenly, Lori started to laugh in a sick way.
"You think that David is ever gonna come to you?" Lori asked her "Did he ever care about you?"
"Of course he did" Penny said to her.
"I've known him for years" Lori said to Penny "He's nothing but a selfless, cold blooded, ruthless killer, he's not gonna come for you" Penny knew that Lori was saying all the bad things about him, but she knew that David was better than that. She had seen his lighter side, and had cared about her.
"What you say is not going to change my perspective about him" Penny said to Lori.
"Well, it won't matter after the job is done and we've killed your father" Lori said. Penny suddenly felt a stab in her heart, they were gonna kill her father after this and she wouldn't see him again "And that dog of yours, you think he's so special, everything special about him came from a science experiment, he may seem powerful, but inside, he's just a little stupid mutt" after she said that, Penny was starting to get angry.
"DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT BOLT!" Penny yelled at Lori when she charged straight at the door. When she hit the wall, she started pounding against the glass as if it would break and she would break out and beat the living daylights out of Lori. After banging on the door a number of times, Lori pressed the button on the device, and the shock collar shocked Penny, who screamed in pain as the electric device around her neck was sending pain throughout her body. Then, Lori took her finger off the button, deactivating the shock collar, and Penny fell down to the floor in exhaustion. Lori chuckled as Penny crawled on the floor and got back to her hard bead.
"So, what are you going to do now" Lori asked her. Penny wanted to open her mouth and give an answer, but she didn't know what to say "That's what I thought". Suddenly, a beeping sound was on Lori's wrist communicator and she smiled "Well, it looks like it's time for you to be brought up and to watch the show, guards, get her out of her cell and bring her up to the main deck" The guards nodded and ran over to Penny's prison cell. The guard opened the door and the two of them walked in a grabbed a weak Penny by both shoulder's, pulled her up off her feet, and proceeded to walk her out of the prison cell with Lori behind them. Penny was determined to stop whatever it is that he was planning to do, but at the same time she was scarred, not knowing what was going to be in store for her.
Once they arrived up on the deck, Penny got a good view of the surroundings. The deck was a large base of operations that had tones of computers and machines like the kinds for a mission control room for a space mission. In the center of the room, she saw Calico himself, with two of his cats, waiting for them to arrive. He turned around to see that his daughter and the guards have brought the prisoner that he was hopping for right on time.
"Ah, young Penny" the doctor said with a smile "It's good to see that you have finally arrived for the grand show"
"Calico" Penny said with anger "Where's my dad"
"He'll be up here soon" Calico replied "But in the meantime, we'll just get you strapped in and get you ready for his arrival, bring her over to the suspenders" the men brought Lori over to a set of cables that were at the back of the room that looked as if it were able to suspend a person from above. As they were hooking Penny up to the chair, she heard a voice that was coming from the speakers: Target alignment at, 20%. She also saw a screen that was showing a 3-d model of the satellite, targeting a certain area, and a map of the United States that was projected that had a target the satellite was pointed at on the eastern seaboard.
"What is this?" Penny asked him "You're just attacking America in cold blood"
"You are very short sighted" Calico said to her "You see this satellite is capable of controlling an entire countries power grid. In about 30 minutes, the satellite will direction itself onto the United States power grid, and will send an EMP blast that will knock it out and allow my armies to invade the country and make it my own, a country reborn. Then after that, I shall do the same to another country; say China, then the next, then many more. Soon, the entire planet Earth will be within my grasp." Penny was starting to come to realization, that this was Calico's plan this whole time, that her father knew how to operate this device, but she also knew that David would come for her, and after him.
"You know that he's coming for you" Penny said to Calico. The man turned to her and let out a small chuckle.
"David" Calico said to him "He was once one of my best men, but his betrayal was by his own choice, he and the others found something that they weren't supposed to see, and they paid the price for it" Penny knew that he was bluffing, as he felt that what David had discovered in Shanghai was his own doing, but he was wrong, as she was suspended and tied, she hoped that no matter where he is, David would come for her. As she was now suspended in the air with the area she was in turned dark, she heard the beeping of an elevator on the other side of the room and knew that it was the men who were bringing her father up.
Meanwhile outside of the facility
David, Bolt, Blonski, and Felix were in an army helicopter that was carrying a squad of troops, that was going to land in the facility once it was found, and attack, as well as four other army helicopters that carried more troops for backup.
"We should be getting close" Blonski said "Calico's main hideout should be about a few miles from here"
"How can we be sure it's hidden in a mountain?" Felix asked them over the noise.
"Once we get close to it, we'll launch a heat seeking missile at the side, which will expose it" David said "Plus, the entrance to the facility is a landing area that's on the top of the mountain, it will allow easy access to the facility"
"If you say so" Felix replied. As Felix was giving the final preparations to his troops, David looked at Bolt and gave him a quick wink before Bolt did the same.
"We're coming in on the facility" the pilot's said over by the front.
"Alright, get ready to fire the missile" Felix said to the pilot, who was readying the missile that would be launched from the side of the helicopter at any second.
Back in the facility
In the main control room of the facility, the elevator doors opened to reveal a group of men that were holding the professor who was restrained. As they walked to the center of the room, Calico turned around and a smile formed on his face.
"Ah, professor" Calico said to him "I'm so glad that you are able to make it up here, we just need you to put the final touches on this little plan.
"You know I would never do anything for you" The professor said to him. Calico walked over to him until he was right in front of him.
"Unless it was the only way, to save your little girls LIFE" Calico said to him while turning him to the side. The lights to Penny's area opened, and revealed her in her suspended state.
"Penny" the professor called out to his daughter who heard him.
"Daddy" Penny called out returning the call.
"Now" Calico said to him "Since I have proven my point, operate the satellite now or my men will open fire on your precious daughter". As he was saying this, a firing squad was forming in front of Penny, and was aiming their guns at her at the same time. Penny looked at her father with sad eyes before her father turned to Calico.
"You're a sick man" The professor said to him.
"Get used to it" Calico said to the professor "Now get to work" Calico pushed the professor to the front of the control center and gets him into the chair while a soldier guarded him. "When will the satellite be over Washington D.C.?"
"15 minutes" The professor replied to Calico.
"Good" Calico said to him "Continue to get the direction set and get the blast ready" As the professor was forced to make final preparations for the coordinates on the satellite, Penny started to yell at Calico in disgust.
"You're not gonna get away with this!" Penny yelled at Calico "Do you hear me? My friends will be coming after you!" Calico's smile faded and turned around, he pressed the device on her electric collar to shut her up, and then after it was off, he turned to her.
"Your friends are nowhere near…" He said to him, but just before he was about to finish his sentence and loud explosion from outside was heard, and a rumbling shook the facility. Some people either fell down or were shaken by the rumbling. Once the rumbling stopped and the explosion went quiet, an alert siren was sound and a few red lights were flashing. A soldier ran up from the stairs and entered the room panting and exhausted from running. Calico, with a confused look on his face, turned to the soldier.
"What happened?" Calico demanded to the soldier.
"We've been hit by a missile sir" the soldier said to him "Several enemy helicopters are above the landing area and are landing their troops now" after the news was heard, Penny let a small smile on her face form.
"David, Bolt" she said softly to herself. Calico was worried, knowing that they were going to come for her and her father, and turned to the soldier.
"Get back up there, no matter what you do, make sure that they don't get here!" Calico said to the soldier.
"Yes sir" the soldier replied before running back up to the landing area. Then, Calico turned to a few other soldiers.
"Get me to a safe area, and make sure that the professor is still at work" He ordered the men, as he was rushing off to his safe room, the troops went back to watching Penny, and make sure the professor was still working on the satellite.
Meanwhile, back on the landing area, the helicopters were continuing to land their troops. Mini guns that were on the copters were providing cover fire for the landing troops so that they wouldn't get hit. David and Blonski were shooting their guns away at coming enemy soldiers that were coming in from the entrance while Bolt performed charge attacks on some of them that were blocking their way. Once the landing area was cleared, David looked at the group, who only suffered minor casualties, and then turned to the entrance.
"Alright let's move in" David said to everybody. He proceeded to enter the doors to the facility with Bolt, Felix, Blonski, and a small group of troops following him to make their way through to the main control room, while the other troops spread out to the rest of the facility.
In the control room, several men were still watching Penny while one guard still had his gun pointed at the professor. Suddenly, the door burst open, and the guard watching the professor was struck down by a bullet. The other men turned to the door, but David quickly took them down with gun fire. After that was taken care of, the group spread out through the room, some were checking the area to secure it, while David ran over to where Penny was after he noticed it.
"Penny" David said in relief.
"David" Penny said with a smile before she saw Bolt as well "Bolt" the dog gave one bark of joy before David went over to free Penny from her restraints. Once she was free, she immediately hugged David, and he returned the hug.
"I knew you would come for me" Penny said to him.
"You think I'd forget about you" David said with a smirk.
"We don't have much time" Penny said "Calico is going to use the satellite to take out the U.S. power gird so his armies can invade the country; I'm not sure how we can stop it" David thought for a little bit until he had an Idea, he went over to the professor who was relieved to see Penny was alright.
"Can you de-orbit the satellite?" David asked the professor.
"Yes, but it's going to take time" The professor said to him.
"Do your best" said David "We'll keep you covered" he then turned to the squad of troops "Guys, protect the professor, make sure nobody gets to him, we need to buy him time in order to de-orbit the satellite" the men nodded and started to form a protective Barrier around the professor. David went over to Penny, and took out the Walther PPK that he got for her "You're gonna need this" she smiled as she took the gun. Suddenly, a group of enemy soldiers came in, and started to shoot at the area, the soldiers, Blonski, David, and Penny all took cover and started to shoot the soldiers while they were still protecting the professor. Penny was starting to improve on her shot, as she took down a couple of men with ease. Soon, more soldiers were starting to come in, and an Idea popped into her head.
"Bolt, stare" she said to her dog. Bolt saw that she had her attention on the ceiling, which had a large metal suspender on the top. He fired his laser eyes straight at it, and after it cut its way through, the whole thing fell down on top of the enemies, and the shooting from the enemy stopped, since they were either dead or knocked out cold. Then, an angry shout an a hit of metal caught everybody's ear as David went over to the professor.
"What's wrong" David asked the professor.
"They must have changed the access code to the satellite, I can't seem to redirect it or control it"
"Is there another way?" asked David.
"There's a secondary control area on the other side of the facility" The professor said to him "You can stop it there and cause it to reenter the Earth's atmosphere"
"Alright, I'm going to that control area" David said.
"I'm coming with you" Penny said to him "And so is Bolt"
"You're heading back to the landing area" David said to her.
"But we can help" Penny said in protest.
"No, I need to do this alone" David said to her. Penny was starting to frown, but David went over to her and put his hand on her shoulder "Don't worry, I'll be back" He then reloaded his gun, and set off to stop the satellite, and take possibly take care of a few other things as well.
Phew, another long chapter, it took me a while but I've got it. I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, since it did have plenty of action. I only have one more chapter to go and possibly an epilogue, and then I'll finally be done. As always, please review, and I will update soon, until next time.
