Chapter 5_2

Then the lights shun and was surprised with an army of the employees with tonfas on hand. As it shows, it was flores who was sneaking up on the cargo deck where she then fought the students. But as she was careless and underestimated them, she was zapped at the back with a stun gun.

The next thing she knew, she was in a room with rod which he had her tied to a chair butt naked. Rod then got the duck tape out of her mouth.

“sorry about the treatment though you really have the guts to—“ rod said smiling

“do what you want to me, i wont talk to you.”

“your already talking isn’t it?”

“tch”

“anyways, who gave you the orders?”

“like i said—“

“i can gues that it was them.”

“then why are you doing this to me?”

“punishment. Bad girls need to be punished.”

“punish me all you want. What i did was for the country and i –“

“whoa.. hold on there. Im not gonna torture you, you know. “

“then what?”

“im gonna do something better.” Rod then had a smile where she was hit with continuous punishments of pleasure for 3 hours that she can no longer bear.

Outside the door, the students, yukiko and sheryl could really hear her screams for pleasure.

“whew....." he wiped his sweat. " That should be enough” as he got outside the room

“you know, you are getting more badder the minute i know you.” Sheryl

“don’t worry Sheryl, i will be gentle with you. “ rod said teasingly

the students stare at Sheryl all blushing, smiling and giggling

“a-anyways, we have arrived at the destination.” She then hand over the smart tablet and blushing and yukiko giggling

“alright. Let us go above deck and monitor the progress of the project”

“how about colonel flores?” a student

“shes gonna be fine. Lets now go.”

They then made their way above deck where the generals had guns at the heads of the helpless seamen including Wesley.

“i was not gonna do this but you forced my hand boy.” Jaime

“hold on there. you wont wait until the project finishes?”

“if you really have pandoras box, we want to see it first before the project.”

“you know, you are all spoilers. By the time i would show you the project, you will never listen to whatever i say after presenting it to you.”

“what do you even know boy. We are older and wiser than you—“

“the olds words may hold power, but the new also have their own wisdom which transcends the old.” Rod

They were speechless after that “if you really wont show us pandoras box, we will really—“

“go ahead. What good does that do to you? You will all be labelled as murderers by the netizens who are watching.”

“what?! You never said--”michael

“we never said because it is within the probabilities that rod here came up with. So when he thought about it, he said ‘since the cat is out of the bag, lets go out with a big bang.’” Yukiko

“what have you done! This was supposed to be a sec—“ Ronald

“secret? Once a secret keeper is found, there is no point anymore in keeping the secret. So why not go with a bang right?” rod

“your all crazy. I cant believe i would have trusted you.” Bruce

“no. This is strategy generals. Now let go of the hostages and lets go to work.”

They then brought out their smart phones which has satellite coverage and it was true that they were in live stream.

“just when did you go live with this boy?”franz

“when i interrogated your valuable colonel.”

They then looked at the comments and saw that he was saying the truth, though the netizens all say it was a waste they cant see the face and suddenly went black only to find some old hags doing some threat. even the president commented about it, the generals where sweating bullets as they saw the comment of the president that they will be fired by the time they come back from that trip.

“we give up boy. Since you insisted, we will accompany you to the end.”Donald

“pride is nothing to doing what is right generals, remember that. And its also his words.” Sheryl said as she was hiding behind rods back.

Rod was smiling as he saw Sheryl and yukiko safe. “lower project gravity fall! Lets begin operation atlantis!”

The hatch opened to the cargo bay where cranes carried a huge drill like machine out. It was an egg shaped machine with drills on each end, protecting the machine thatvwas inside.

The world then watched as they lowered the drones into the sea. A student then was made as a commentator out of recommendation from rod as well. Most of the students were also at the bridge when the event happened.

“here we go fellows! We now have lowered the drones called drill drones into the ocean. And do you know where we are? We are in the atlantic as suggested by the project name atlantis! Lame pun right? Haha. And by the way, this is camellia perez reporting in live at the atlantic ocean. “

She then go downstairs to go to the generals “general, can i have a word?" as the generals nodded before they could say anything. "Why did you do that?”

“oh well. The cat is out of the bag and i would be forcefully be retired by the time we return. We did that as the last resort. We didn’t think that our colonel would be taken out by these.. kids..”

The other generals were about to comment when she then goes to rod.

“what are your comments mr .. should i uncover your real name then?”

“lets say im mr nice. And these are my assistants miss cool and miss cutie.” Rod said as Sheryl blushed

“are you making a joke?” franz

“nope. This is usually how we do things—“ yukiko

“that going too far miss cool. Lets just say that this is the conclusion to what we agreed on... In short, the plan.” Rod

Before project atlantis took place, rod summons the girls for a strategy plan.

"is everyone accounted for?" rod said as he examines everyone in the room and on the table.

"yes. So what do you got there?" yukiko said who was with sheryl

The room was filled with the team leads and them.

"im gonna be brief with this..." rod said as he looks at everyone."were now going to initiate project atlantis."

There were murmurs on the team leads

"rod, your totally gonna accept his request then?" sheryl

"yes. But were gonna need some things first." rod said as he gives out a list of probabilities to them.

"this is a list of what might happen during the projects initial phases. Please review them with everyone who is present." rod said with a serious look

For a few minutes, they read through every possibility.

"so what are we gonna do sir? At this rate, this will totally turn out to be a bloodbath." one of the leads was cencerned

"dont worry. I have some plans in mind."

"how are we also gonna make sure that they or she can be trusted?" sheryl

"that too is covered. Basically, the plan is tobtrust and to be trusted. But if they wont trust us, then thats when the plan starts."rod

"so, whats the plan?" yukiko

"i have several. Like plan A.. If they will make a move, then we show the world their true colors."

Rod examined the room again and everyone was still listening.

"plan B.. If they make a move and doesnt admit it, we will abandone the project... Plan C.. If they make a move thats too big for us to handle, we still show the world their true colors by hiding cameras all over the ship. That is all that i have in mind.If you have any more, you can always submit it to sheryl and yukiko."

"sounds like a plan to me." sheryl

"dont worry rod. Everything would be alright." yukiko

"i hope so... Everyone, please prepare as many drones as possible in the air and on water. And keep this a secret to everyone but us at all costs understood?"

Sheryl was also there listening when she now got what he meant."miss cutie?" she then touches her face, blushing.

“lets hear whats this plan about. Ladies and gentlemen, hold on to—“

“time! Its now time to check on the drones.” Yukiko

“alright then. Lets see. We now have a confirmed visualization of the surroundings and it shows as such.” Rod then showed the world the 360 view of the ocean floor where a light was then shun. They then saw what seems to be a ruins of a lost city and the sonar outlook of about 3 miles.

They then rode to the next point where they launched another drone and repeated the process until the drones were all out.

“people, look at this! Are you seeing what we are seeing?! This might be the lost city of atlantis in the middle of the atlantic!” camellia

“with these coordinates, we found the lost city of atlantis and with the help of the military, we couldn’t have done it. Thank you generals.” rod said with an evil smile

The generals then scorned at the side.

rod signals Stacey. “so this is why you had me memorize or gave me this piece of paper. R-- Mr nice guy, your really a bad guy.” Stacey said as she walked toweards the generals

“nope. Im just doing what is right. Right miss test tube?”

“test tube? Ugh.. whatever. Listen to this generals, this is a passage from his book.” She then got a book out of her coat “Sometimes, the teachings of the old are powerful and true. But every age will come with new wisdom. What the old would believe is not wisdom, since wisdom is earned throughout life and the lives of others. The old cannot be convinced, it just takes time, patience, more patience, even more patience, and acceptance to let go until such time they will regret ever deciding such actions or things. Don’t make them like something too much since it would literally be very hard for them to let it go, like literally. That no matter how much you try to let them understand, they would just react otherwise. Also like if they also have worked very hard to gain or make a certain something. As people grow old, they eventually become hard headed because of old age. Wait for the time to tell them what is really right so that they will learn from experience and confirm it with others which have and are of the same experience as them.Every sin is an instigator to everything either dangerous or something else. Pride can bring an innocent soul down, sometimes harm them. Just reflect on what you have learned so far in your life. Pride can or cannot be defined. Just make sure you know what you are doing and if you’re doing it the right way. Those are the passages that i chose to recite from the book “the tale of a thousand lies.” Stacey

“great job.” rod said as he claps.

The generals didnt comment anymore as the cameras were still focused on them.

"now lets get back to work." rod said as he walked towards the side of the ship with a gesture.

The generals sighed while still being scorned to the events unfold. Stacey just did a gesture saying to just give it up.

They then saw some bubbles on the water and later found that it was a net filled with underwater rocks, some bones, and some pottery and many other things.

“that is something extra that i hooked up with the drill drones. “ Stacey said with a thumbs up.

“mr nice guy! We have a problem! There seems to be multiple objects coming in under us!” a student

“men! Prepare to fight! Prepare of your firepower for the fight of a lifetime! Stacey, you got the cases out of storage?” rod

“its here sir.” A student

Rod, Sheryl and yukiko then opened the cases to find 2 energy swords and an iron suit. Rod then quickly wore the suit with the help of yukiko and Sheryl.

The iron suit mostly covers the body with chainmail. then comes the armor plating for the legs and feet, arms and hands, and the middle body plating. the arms and leags were also equipped with blades. the chestvunit which had project iron heart as its power sourse with a back pack for flight and submerge. the neck protected by a 2 layer plating and the helmet equipped with an air filtration system to recycle the oxygen whichbalso comes from 2 small tubes at the back. With all of the armor made out of layers of carbon fiber made for underwater combat.

"whats that?"the generals then walks towards them.

One of the generals then tries to touch one of the swords and was smacked by Stacey “uh uh.. not this time. Remember just what i said? You are now being tempted just now. “

“tch”

“just leave the work to the professionals.” Yukiko

They then finished suiting him up where yukiko and Sheryl prepared the energy swords. Energy swords turned on and students armed with swords and tonfas, they then prepare for the worst.

Then the boat rocked and there were tentacles that climbed above the ship. Drones above the skies saw the very big tentacles climbing to the ship where many blimps were found on the water, as many as maybe 30.

“its now my turn. Miss cool, miss cutie, and miss test tube, lead the army there and protect the ship. I will be frying some squid on my end.” Rod said as he prepares to take off.

Rod then took off and flew with the iron suit where he then dove into the water under the ship. There the whole world saw in 360 degrees of the fight of a lifetime, humans versus giant squids.

As rod was underwater, he cut away the larger tentacles that were on the ship and avoided other tentacles of other squids. The squids all look like jelly fishes, all very thin but gigantic in size. While the crew above deck all fought with swords, easily cutting away the tentacles that try to catch any people in the ship.

It was a fight that the world did not forget. the fight went on for hours, that even the world leaders skipped all meetings just to watch the live feed of what seems to be humans versus squid and octopuses.

The fight went on for many hours as rod fought against many squids, sharks, and octopuses with his 2 energy swords while the girls commanded above deck for the students to defend themselves even when the ship rocked so badly.

Above deck, the ship stopped rocking and they then dispersed to look at every corner of the ship for anything out of the ordinary. Flores then got out on above deck only to find herself wet.

“what happened to you?” franz

“don’t ask. Anyways, i was at the cargo deck when water always splash above me and the ship keeps rocking. What the hell happened above deck?”

“its better you see the video for yourself.” Michael said as he gave the smart phone to her.

While flores was watching the video, Sheryl, yukiko and Stacey then let the underwater drones check on the where abouts of rod as he was nowhere to be found. Then they found him surfacing from behind the rotating blades and to the right side of the ship. He then flew and landed on above deck carrying a medium size squid.

“ladies and gentlemen, mission accomplished.” Rod said as he got his helmet off and his armour only to find a wet strong build of a body.

“just how did you know that there would be monsters out here?” rocky

“oh, i forgot to mention. Upon meditating in Cambodia in search for the soul memories that i received, i have received a divination of places that are being disturbed everyday which holds disturbances. The souls are telling me to never go to those places.”

“what places? There is more?” camellia then came for a camera close up

“yes. Though i cant remember any of those other places anymore. But i can, like everyone else, sense if that place is haunted or not.”

“haunted? That was not what we call haunted boy.” jaime

“yes it is. The disturbances are under the sea and not on the surface, just like on the Bermuda triangle. But the Bermuda triangle has a more powerful force, maybe, which is why there is no disturbances above deck. It was only the underwater creatures that we have scared.”

“like she said, what gives away the monster thing?” Jaime

“it was within range of the probabilities that we have come up. As we cant be careless on what lurks in the depths of the sea, we instead ready ourselves for every possibility, Even death on your hands generals.”

“that is madness you are doing boy! You might have been killed today.“

“but if its for the country, then someone could. And depending on the psychology of that person, they might do it.” rod said as he seriously faces the generals

The crowd went quiet as rod quietly undress himself of the armor and dried himself. “you know, you could have been killed.” Stacey

“i made a bet, that there is still humanity inside the generals. And why would they even kill a kid who poses no threat to them as only they hold the real weapons. Right generals?”

“tch. Your turning your positions even worse for us. Please tell no more mr r—“ justin

“its mr nice guy. And that is the end of our channel.. or would you like to monitor our situation until we return to port? People of the world.” Rod

They then saw the screen and all the comments say that the video must see through until the end of the journey.

“mr nice guy, more people are commenting that the journey should continue until we reach port than to end the broadcast.” Student

“alright then. All hands! Lets go home with our loot!” rod

“yeah!” all of them said as all of them helped with the hauling of the specimens into the cargo ship and gone home. At night, they ate the squid that rod caught and celebrated alongside the generals.

Once they got home, there were loads of media waiting for them to explain what happened but they didn’t comment anything at all except to watch the video which will explain everything. There on the details, they also saw the story line on how the journey began.
