In the lift.
Calypso had taken the guard's assault rifles, she had one on her back and the other in her hands. She and the Powerpuff girls were now heading down to the deck where the weapon's array was located. Once the lift made it to the deck the doors opened and they stepped out. The lift had stopped on another deck lower in the hanger bay.
"OK girls, the second door on the right leads to a corridor that will take you to the weapon's array, but be careful, there are more guards along that path and and some security measures." Harry told the girls. They stopped by a doorway into a wide corridor and they saw more guards walking up and down it. "I can take these guys." Buttercup said eagerly. "Yeah but-" Before Blossom could finish Buttercup zoomed into the corridor. First there was a surprised yell, then the sounds of punches landing, the guards groaning and then the sound of people falling over. Calypso and the other Powerpuffs looked round the corner to see Buttercup standing proudly over a pile of unconscious guards and dropped guns.
Blossom and Calypso both shook their heads with looks that said 'why do I bother?' while Bubbles just giggled. "Come on girls; lets hide them." Buttercup commanded. They hid the guards in a storage room and Blossom welded the door shut with her heat vision. "OK, next you have to shut down a laser grid, but be careful; these are not simple alarm beams." Harry warned. The girls found the laser grid in a small room at the end of the corridor. It was basically a segment of the corridor heavily guarded by randomly changing beams of red light that formed a constantly shifting and unpredictable web of energy beams.
"How do we get through that?" Bubbles asked. "We cut the power." Blossom stated. "Won't they know we're here if we do that?" Buttercup asked. "Yes they will, someone needs to stay here and keep the grid offline, i'll do that." Calypso said. "Can't you just break the power conduit?" Buttercup asked. "If I do that we blow up this entire corridor, no this is the only way to do this without getting ourselves killed." Calypso explained. "Then the grid will come back up with you stuck on this side, how will you meet back up with us?" Blossom asked. "I'll think of something, now pull this control panel off for me, I need to hot wire it."
Blossom lightly yanked the control panel for the laser grid off the wall, Calypso then knelt down, pulled out two wires; one green and one blue. The grid then flickered and went down. "Their gonna come running now, get going." The Powerpuffs then zoomed through the defunct grid, the sound of guards clamouring and running then filled the corridor and an alarm sounded seconds later. "Intruder alert, intruder alert." A computer voice boomed. Calypso dropped the cables and the grid went back up. "Calypso, they know we're here." Blossom said in a worried tone. "Don't worry, I'll get through this." Calypso then yanked the cables out of their sockets, a fizz of sparks and smoke poured out the vent. "Now two get through."
What happened next was completely unbelievable, Calypso threw her arms up and started to somersault through the grid of flickering at random laser beams without error. "What...the...fuck?" Buttercup asked dumb-folded. "Wow." Was all Blossom could say. Bubbles however wasn't easily impressed. "Tch, I could do that easily." Calypso then finished with a triple back-flip and landed in front of the girls. She then curtsied to them. "OK, I need to brush up on my knowledge of secret agents." Buttercup stated.
Outside, on board Harry's gunship.
The Blood arrow fleet was still waiting for the girls to signal the weapons array on board the shipyard. Just as Harry was pouring some tea into a cup one of his crew members said: "Sir, I'm getting vast amounts of radar noise from outside the dark matter field." The sensors operator announced. "Any ideas for what's causing it?" Harry asked and he started sipping his drink. "Well I'm running an analysis now." The SO's eyes then went wide as moons. "Sir, this noise is a direct match to the signal emitted by enigma technology used on the experimental warships of MI99." he stated.
Harry then spat out the tea back into the cup cartoon style. "Good god, tell our scout squad to take a closer look, maybe the dark matter has corrupted the radar worse than predicted." Harry ordered to another crew-member, trying not to panic. "Roger, sending message now." the radio operator announced. After a few seconds 3 gunships broke formation and flew back down the clearing in the dark matter. "Colonel Blake, this is scout 1, we'll stay in radio contact with you as we head out of the dark matter." the scout fleet stated. When the group of gunships reached the perimeter of the field, Harry could hear the scout captain gasp in disbelief. "My...god." he said breathlessly. "What? What is it?" Harry asked. "Its...its..." the scout captain replied.
It was a huge ship, much bigger than the normal stock standard battle ships. It also had a very different hull design, It was a saucer shaped ship with a dome on the top and on the bottom of it, on these domes was a giant engine each that was capable of rotating 360 degrees in any direction. Along the edge of the massive ship were antennae that sparkled with white electricity arching between them, just above this system was a long indention that went all the way round the ship, it glowed an ominous purple colour like the inside of a furnace.
"Huh? What's going on? AHHHH!" the captain screamed into the radio. "Scout 1? Scout 1 respond!" Harry yelled. Only static answered him. "Sir look!" Harry looked up, just in time to see the wreckage of his scout gunships flying towards his lead ship. One of them had been sliced, bow to stern, clean in half by something. Another had a huge hole that had gone straight through one side and out the other. "Oh god." He whispered as the wreckage fell into the sea below.
On the ship yard.
The girls had now disabled the weapons array and were now crawling through some air-vents to shake off the guards, they were taking routes that led upwards to get back to the hanger bay. Buttercup was in front, Blossom behind her, then Calypso and Bubbles. "Not your best angle Buttercup." Blossom was saying, Buttercup was wearing some shorts that only reach half way down her thighs. Buttercup was about to retort but Calypso beat her too it. "Well it could be worse." She said cheekily. Blossom was wearing a mini skirt with no underwear. "Hey!" Blossom hissed back.
Buttercup just chuckled, but got karma when she placed her hand on a loose vent cover on the floor and fell through it with a yelp. "Buttercup!" Blossom yelled. She looked through the hole and saw that Buttercup had landed in a laboratory of some sort. Fortunately no one was inside due to every out looking for them. "Hey girls, I think I've fallen into the design lab for the sub we saw." Buttercup said. Her sisters and Calypso climbed out of the vents and into the lab with Buttercup. Once they were out they looked around. The lab was not that big, it had several work benches in the centre of the room and more around the edge. It had only 3 walls with the forth being a huge window over looking the hanger bay.
"Girls look at this." Calypso had found some blueprints for the sub the girls saw earlier, seeing just what this thing could do made the girls shiver with fear. "It...its just a machine right? Anything that can be made by human hands can be destroyed by humans...right?" Bubbles asked. "Yes Bubbles, because as the hunters motto goes: If it bleeds...you can kill it." Calypso said in a sadistic tone.
"Uh girls?" Buttercup said suddenly. Her comrades looked just in time to see a blood arrow gunship spinning out of control towards them, it was on fire and the rear half of it was missing. "GET DOWN!" Calypso yelled. The group took cover behind a work bench just as the gunship smashed through the window, it went half way through the wall before coming to a halt. The girls were about to get up when someone fell out of the bridge of the gunship and onto the table...it was Harry, he had a huge cut on his forehead and his arm had been sliced off by something.
"Sir! What happened?" Calypso asked. Harry coughed up some blood before saying: "Its the HMS Vampire...you need to...get out of here now." He struggled to say, his voice was raspy, his lungs had be punctured. The Powerpuff girls were lost for words. "Sir we'll get you back to BAHQ, you'll be alright I..." "Calypso...im done for...the Vampire is...bearing down on the ship yard...get out of here!" Harry interrupted then coughed up more blood. "Long live the blood arrows!" He gasped with his last breath before going limp. "No..." Was all Calypso could say. Blossom came up to her and held her shoulders. "I'm so sorry about this, but we need to get out of here...NOW!" she ordered. Calypso clenched her hands and screwed her eyes shut. "Alright...lets go."
Blossom then picked up Calypso and flew out the window with her sisters in tow. Since the weapons array is disabled the ship yard was benign as they took to the skies. But there was the case of the dark matter field, with no ship to shield her Calypso would be cooked from the inside out by the radiation, also there still the mines to avoid too and finally the HMS vampire was becoming visible as it flew out of the dark matter. "Ah, I see you've met my ex-girlfriend Powerpuff bitches." a familiar voice boomed over the Vampire's intercom. The Powerpuff girls were so surprised at this their eyes almost popped out their heads. "That's Silver's voice...the BASTARD!" Blossom shouted. "Its a long story girls." Calypso stated.
"You've got one chance: Surrender are be destroyed." Silver demanded in a much more serious tone. "Fuck you!" Buttercup yelled. She then formed an energy ball in her hand and through it at the Vampire, but it was blasted by a point defence laser beam and detonated before it could hit the ship. "Have it your way." the Vampire then fired a much bigger purple laser beam at the girls, they dodged it and the beam punched right through the ship yard. "Friendly fire! friendly fire!" the captain of the ship yard yelled. "You have let teenage girls sabotage your vessel, steal the Apocalypse sub's blue prints and failed to notice a blood arrow squad ON YOUR DOOR STEP?" Silver roared. The girls took this opportunity to slip past the Vampire and into the passage out of the dark matter.
"I-I-I...Im sorry sir...i-it will never happen again sir." The captain stammered. "I know." Silver stated. The Vampire then fired numerous harpoons at the ship-yard, they sprouted drills which burrowed into the metal fuselage, inside the crew started screaming as their bio-electric energy was absorbed. "Silver...why?" The captain asked. "Because this kind of bullshit is never tolerated by the British empire, your contracts are terminated." Silver said in a casual tone. Not flinching when the captains pained scream echoed through the radio. With its crew dead, the ship yard fell from the sky and into the sea below, the dark matter field started to disperse as its containment field (Which the ship yard had been projecting) went down and the mines also fell into the ocean.
"Chase down that blood arrow agent and her new friends, we need those blue prints back." With that the HMS Vampire flew after the girls with incredible speed for its massive size.
