Chapter 19 : A New Kind of Adventure - Part 4 : The Sea Hunter
Third Person POV
"Good job everyone. We manage to clear the south district from the Empire troops and pushed the front line to the north port. Right now, we're focusing on naval and air battle." The other Maxwell said to the radio from the Alliance base, congratulated everyone who was participating in the battle.
"Yarrr, how's the situation on the naval battle?" He asked through the radio.
"This is Captain Yarrr, we are dominating the naval battle brother, but those bloody Empire are greater in numbers. Luckily, our fleet still could stand against them." Yarrr answered through the radio.
"Maxwell, we got problems." The other Alex contacted him.
"What is it?"
"We've detected an Empire submarine entering the water area of the Capital City. It has enough cruise missiles and torpedo to wipe out our entire naval fleet in Capital City."
"So, the Empire has decided to send backup for their fleet."
"Not just that, we've also detected an oil tanker ship heading into the battlefield."
"But, it's just an oil tanker. What are we going to do about it?" Alex asked from the radio.
"Alex, it may look like just an oil tanker. But actually it's one of the Empire battleship, and the silos at the ship isn't an ordinary oil silos, it was missile silos, which provide enough backup if the submarine didn't wiped out our entire fleet. They've done a good job disguising it." Sarah answered.
"Whoa Sarah, since when you knew all of those infos? I thought you're only our radio operator, telling us what to do." Alex surprised.
"Well, Sophia has done a great job by writing an adjective to me 'computer expert' so I would understand these thing by hacking into the Empire systems." She replied.
"Yeah, now let's move on to the next topic." The other Maxwell cut their conversation, "Alex, do you have a plan to stop these invaders?"
"Actually I have. Jennifer, you're going to led Lily and Sophia to infiltrate the submarine with the Shark team, turn the their weapons against themselves, and escape as fast as you can." The other Alex explained.
"Roger that sir. I'll do my best." Jennifer replied from the radio.
"Good. Meanwhile, Frank you're going to led Alex and Maxwell. Your job is to infiltrate the oil tanker with Navy team and blow it to pieces before entering the battlefield."
"Roger that sir. This is where the turning point for the Alliance begun." Captain Frank replied from the radio.
...
A black helicopter was flying over a sea, heading to a large oil tanker sailing across the open ocean, heading to a massive naval battle at the Capital City port in the distance. "Target spotted. Dropping package." A voice from a radio could be heard.
The helicopter lowered to the surface of the sea and the door of the helicopter slid open, revealing three jet skis being dropped from the helicopter. "Okay, let's go." Three figure appeared from the helicopter quickly jumped to their jet ski and drove it to the oil tanker, "Alex, do you ever drive a jet ski before?" Maxwell asked him through the radio.
"Uh... Nope. But my dad says it's just like when you ride a bicycle, but you control it like a motorcycle on the water." Alex answered from the radio.
"Huh, yeah. Just like a motorcycle on a water." Captain Frank sighed.
"Are we the only ones who was heading there?"
"No, because we also heading there." A voice answered from the radio, the voice wasn't came from any of them. The trio quickly joined by the Navy team consist of many gunboats and jet skis, "This is 1st Lieutenant Kyle Harrison, leader of the Navy team here at your service Captain." One of them said from the radio.
"Good to have you here Kyle, where's Harris?" Frank asked.
"He's leading the Shark team to assault the submarine." Kyle answered.
Alex and Maxwell stared at each other, Sergeant Kyle and Private Harris are actually exist in this dimension, and maybe they also just different in rank. What made Maxwell thought for a long time is, how if his and Alex Doppelganger was exist in this dimension? What if they help the Empire to fight the Alliance? And, how if the Doppelgangers from his world came here and caused chaos like what happened in the DC universe? "Target a hundred meters north, prepare your grappling hook to board it." Frank's voice cut off Maxwell thought.
"Roger that, the gunboats will distract the security turrets and cameras while we board it." Kyle replied, "Alright, boarding team follow me!"
The gunboats quickly went to the ship first and distracted the security turrets just as planned, meanwhile the others and the boarding team approached the ship unknown to the ship's crew. They stopped under the ship and fired their grappling hook at the same time, the hook reached the ship ledge and they pulled themselves up to the ship with the grappling hook. When Captain Frank, Maxwell, and Alex was already on the ship. They pulled out their suppressed assault rifle, "Let's go." Frank said.
Meanwhile, at the Capital City runoff...
"Are you sure we need to go in there?" Sophia asked while Jennifer opened a sewer hole, "Yeah, it's the only safest way without getting bullets riddled in your body." Jennifer replied, "Let's go." She entered the hole and climbed down the ladder.
Once they all in the sewer, they were greeted by the muddy ground and the usual horrible stench of the sewers. They're not sure if it was mud on the ground, or it was something from every single toilet of the Capital City. Sophia and Lily carefully lifted their foot and walk as careful as they can, trying not to splat the mud thing to their shoes, socks, or even their skirt.
"We're here." Jennifer said, they arrive at the watery area of the sewer. Lily and Sophia seems disgust, Jennifer who noticed this, turned around to face them. "Under the water was the gate that directly lead to the runoff. There we could swim to the sea and meet with the Shark team to infiltrate the submarine, got it?" She explained.
"Yeah, we got it." Lily replied,"But are we really need to swim in there? It smells like... You know."
"Stop complaining, you two got your scuba gear with you?" Jennifer asked and they both nodded, showing her their scuba mask that connected to the oxygen tank strapped at their back. "Good, now let's go."
"Are we need to swim with our normal clothes on? I mean, didn't we get a swimming suit or something to help us swim? Lily and I couldn't really swim you know." Sophia whined.
"Quit your whining, the Shark team will help us board the submarine. And you're not going to swim... Much." Jennifer replied.
The water is about a knee high for Lily and Sophia, they showed a disgusted face while passing the water because they felt something muddy underneath the water. While Jennifer, just being Jennifer, casually walk at the water without showing any facial expression. The water was getting deeper and deeper as they continue to travel, it was about a chest high for Lily and Sophia. They keep walking until they reached a huge gate with large holes on it, pretty much enough for a car to pass it. "Alright, the gate will lead us straight to the runoff. You both better wear your scuba gear now." Jennifer told them. "You both already change your magic stuff to waterproof?"
Sophia nodded, "Good, let's go."
Sophia rolled her eyes, Jennifer referred her notebook and Lily's globe as 'magic stuff'. They all wore their scuba mask at their face and dived through the water, swimming through the gate and finally arrived at runoff, where three DPV waiting for them. For an unknown reason, it was already there. Even Sophia didn't write it on her notebook.
"You two know how to drive the DPV?" Jennifer asked through the radio, Sophia and Lily shook their heads. Of course, they were still 13, how could Jennifer be so stupid? "It's just like driving a motorcycle, only it's just underwater. Get it?"
Lily and Sophia looked at each other, "Yeah, we'll try." Sophia replied, "Hey, since we are already 'soldiered', maybe we could drive it." Lily said to Sophia and she nodded.
They swam toward the DPV, luckily the 'soldiered' adjective has given them an ability to swim. Once they mount it, they drove it out from the runoff, even through Lily and Sophia struggled to keep balance on the vehicle, they still could drive it, "See? I told you." Lily said to Sophia, "Whatever." Sophia rolled her eyes.
"Metal team and Scribble team, this is the Shark team. We're approaching your position." A voice from the radio said to them.
"Roger that Shark team, proceed north to the target location." Jennifer replied.
They were soon joined by a group of divers driving their own PDV, known as the Shark team. The Alliance's elite navy team, they passed the deadly naval battle at the top of them. "Power down everyone." The team Leader told everyone.
"What is it?" One of the team member asked.
"Just stay low, and don't make a sudden move." The Captain replied, suddenly a huge submarine appeared and passing them slowly, "Don't do anything stupid lads." The Leader told them, they waited until the submarine passes them. The submarine was huge, about a hundred meters long. Most of the team are silent, and only watched the submarine as it passed them.
"Okay, go." They all power up their SDVs and catch up with the submarine, "Get in position I told you before, plant the mines." Jennifer told Lily and Sophia, they both nodded and headed to the sub's tail rudders, Lily planted the mine at bottom side, meanwhile Sophia at the top side and they both activated it. "Alright, mine's armed. Get clear." The Leader told them.
Everyone starting to heading away from the submarine as the Captain detonated the mine and forcing it to surface, "Alright, now it's surfacing! Time to board it!" The Leader told his team, they exited their PDVs and swam to the surface as the same time the submarine surfaced. The submarine's warning alarm could be heard from outside the submarine itself. They climbed to the submarine and released their scuba mask, the hatch was opened by a two Empire sailors inside the submarine. The Leader quickly pulled out his gun and shot them both before they could pull out their gun.
"Grenade!" Jennifer tossed a grenade inside the hatch, a few shouts and cries about a grenade came from inside the submarine before it blows and a thin smoke came out from the hatch. "Come on Harris, Lily, and Sophia. Let's get inside." Jennifer told them as they entered the hatch and climbed down the ladder.
They fought their way to the command bridge, eliminating some armed Empire sailors along the way. Until they reached a grey steel door, which is locked and the entrance to the command bridge. Jennifer and Harris placed a large breaching charges on the door and activates it. "Breaching in 3.." Everyone prepared their weapon, "2.." Jennifer pulled out the detonator, "1!" She pressed the button, a large explosion was formed at the door. It only affected at the door and very small area , but strong enough to knock down the grey steel door.
They entered the bridge, eliminating everyone inside it. Including the Captain. "Sir, this is Metal team and Scribble team. We have reached the bridge, I repeat we have reached the bridge." Jennifer contacted someone on her radio.
"Good work Metal team and Scribble team, now just type the following coordinates at the console." Another Alex voice replied, Jennifer quickly hurried to the bridge console to type the coordinates, she wouldn't want to ask to repeat it again if she didn't hear it. "The coordinates are; 1-7-0-8-1-9-4-5." The other Alex told her.
"Alright, coordinates are set." Jennifer tossed a key to Lily and they inserted it on the key slot, "We turn it together on three. One, two, three!" They turned the key on the same time as a green light with a word 'ready' appeared, Jennifer slams a red button underneath it and the consoles beeps wildly with a red missile launch warning text appeared on the screen.
"Alright, mission accomplished guys. Let's go." She told the others to climb the exit ladder next to them, they opened another hatch and saw the submarine already opened it's missile silos and ready to launch it. They were approached by two inflatable boat with one Alliance crew on each boat. Harris and Sophia entered the first boat and quickly took off as fast as they could, "Come on, we gotta m-" the Alliance crew on the second boat was cut off when bullet pierced through his head, he fell of the boat to the water below. It turns out one of the wounded Empire sailor laying near the hatch they exited before with pistol in his right hand, clutching his wound with his left hand and puddle of blood underneath him.
Jennifer quickly pulled out her gun and killed the Empire sailor, "Damn, he killed our driver. Guess you have to drive Lily, I'll cover you." Jennifer said, "But, I didn't know how to drive it." Lily replied.
"Come on Lily, you could drive a PDV. Maybe you could drive this one, trust me." Jennifer smiled to her, "Alright, I'll try."
They hopped at the boat, with Lily at the back steering the boat and Jennifer at the front to provide covering fire. They took off immediately as the submarine launched the missiles into the air, "Sir, this is Metal team and Scribble team. We have accomplished our mission, requesting a chopper to pick us up." Jennifer said to the radio.
"Roger that Metal and Scribble team, we're sending a UH-60 Black Hawk to pick you all up near the port." The other Maxwell voice filled the radio.
"Alright sir." She replied,"Lily, get us to the port!" Jennifer commanded Lily, only to be replied by a sigh and a roll of eyes from Lily, 'I knew that' Lily thought.
They passed a sunken Carrier ship and an Empire destroyer next to it, aiming their cannon at Lily and Jennifer's boat. But, before they could shoot the cannon. A missile hit the ship in the middle and exploded, it completely disabled the ship and slowly sink to the water. Then, they passed an empty space between two Empire destroyer battling against Alliance destroyer. Only to be hit by missiles and exploded, creating a quite large tidal wave from both ship and saves the Alliance destroyers.
As they escaped the raging naval battle, they found Harris and Sophia's boat. But, they quickly surrounded by two Empire mine dropping boats with a few soldiers on board. Jennifer quickly aimed at the mine at the back of the boat and shot it. Harris does the same and both of the boat quickly exploded and sunk, the chopper arrives and lowered to the water to pick up the boat. "Metal and Scribble team, this is UH-60 Black Hawk callsign Sea knight, now our feet wet. Proceed to enter the chopper." The pilot said to them as their boat entered the chopper, Jennifer quickly got off the boat and pulls it inside the chopper.
"This is Commander Maxwell, good job Metal and Scribble team. Mission accomplished, return to base." The other Maxwell told them, "Roger that sir, just like any usual day for me." Jennifer replied.
Meanwhile, with Alex, Maxwell, and Captain Frank...
"Is the bridge secured?" Captain Frank asked Lieutenant Kyle, "Yes sir, now we can activate the self-destruct sequence." Kyle replied.
"What's that?" One of the soldier pointed to the shining thing heading for them in the sky, "Look's like it's a... It's a missile! And it's heading to us." Kyle said.
They realized that the missile is heading toward the ship's bridge, "Everybody! Get down!" Kyle shouted, but the missile already hit the ship's bridge where they were standing, knocking everyone out cold.
After a while, some of the men starting to regain consciousness and helps the one who still unconscious, "Is everybody okay?" Captain Frank asked as Alex helped Maxwell to got up, "Yeah, we're good." Alex replied.
"Sir, I've activated the self-destruct sequence!" Kyle shouted, the bridge starting to shook slightly and alarms beeps wildly, "Warning, self-destruct sequence has been activated. You have 2 minutes to escape, please head to the nearest evacuation boat at sector 2 and 3." The computer said.
"Let's go everybody!" Captain Frank shouted to the others, they jumped through the large hole on the ship's bridge that the missile has formed and landed safely on the top of a stack of containers. They jumped from containers to missile silo, and from one silo to other silo. When they reached the farthest jump, everyone made it and when Alex jump. He only manage to grabbed the ledge for a few seconds before he starting to slip, he finally fell. Maxwell came to help him and went to grab his hand, but no avail. Alex fell to the ground with his face first.
Alex POV
I finally awake regaining consciousness, my head is spinning mixed with pain and dizziness. After my vision return to normal, I checked my surrounding, everything pretty much burning and exploding... Wait, burning and exploding? Damn, I forgot about that self-destruct sequence that Kyle has activated. And now I fell to the ground because failed that jump, I should've make it if I didn't slipped on that silo. "Alex! Alex, where are you? You need to go now!" Maxwell called me from the radio, "The ship is going to explode in a minute!", "On it." I replied.
I quickly got up and started running, dodging every flames and explosion I didn't want to get caught in. I finally reached a ledge where a large oil silo, the real one. Not like the fake ones like the others. It opened with black oil filled it, I looked back. Only to find the bridge is starting to collapse, and now it's almost tilted 90 degrees. "Alex you need to jump to that silo! It's the only thing to save your live before the bridge collapse!" Maxwell told me, "Maxwell, no way in hell I will jump into that thing!" I shouted.
"Alex, you have two choices. Jump to that oil silo, or crushed by the bridge." Maxwell replied. Damn, I need to jump into that thing? God damn it, I'm going to be stink as hell! "Alex, make your choice, quickly!" Maxwell called me again, I groaned. Alright then, here goes nothing. I jumped to the oil silo and landed safely at the thick black oil, I swam to the surface and jumped from the silo. My clothes was drenched in the black oil liquid (except the star necklace, it still magically clean), and as I predicted. I was stink as hell! Like a mix of gasoline and a rotten corpse, "Alex, jump to the ladder!" Maxwell said as a helicopter arrived with a ladder hanging at it. I ran to the edge of the ship, and jumped to the ladder. This time, I successfully grabbed it, even with wet and slippery glove.
We escaped the sinking ship and flew to the Capital City, "Good job everyone, mission is accomplished. We've won the battle!" The other me said at the radio, followed by a cheering of victory.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Empire top secret facility...
A man with bald hair stands in the front of the mirror, tidying up his clothes and hair. He wears a suit with black tie, with some medals in his suit. Then, someone came into the room with a nervous face.
"Sir, we have a bad news." He said.
"What is it?" The man growled between his teeth, he really didn't want to be disturbed right now. And now he really pissed off about that.
"We, lost the battle." He nervously said.
"What battle?"
"The battle of Capital City sir."
"What?!" He slams a table, but he quickly calms down, "Don't worry, we still have plan B." He smiled evilly and sat on the chair, "That pesky Alliance won't know what will hit them next."
