The Tale of a Thousand Lies Volume 3


“we have been flying for hours now. Omega 5, switch to spectral gear.”

“displaying spectral analysis on screen now.”

There on the monitor, they saw multiple distortions around the sea.

“whew. Finding that lost boat would be like finding a needle in a haystack.” Rod

“rod, you should say finding a needle in a storm. Were never going to find them like this!”

“and what would happen if we enter those distortions?”

“omega 4, please explain.”

“yes sir. It would be like being in Siberia there. Though it was not tested, returning alive from the distortions would be like digging your own grave since it might close at any time.”

The presidents felt a cold chill down their spine.

“It would be nearly possible to ever find that boat. They might be sucked into one of those things!”

“maybe, but we will still try.” Rod

After a few minutes of observing, they accidentally found a gigantic entity coming through a very large distortion.

“w-what is that?!”

The whole crew in the bridge suddenly felt afraid

“that’s probably an entity. But we have never seen then in this size.” Rod

Wesley then enters the bridge without still without his pants.

“im back! Gosh those pants are seriously hard..to..dry..” Wesley then saw the image on the screen with wide eyes

“what the hell is that?!” Wesley shouted

“that’s an entity Wesley, the one that I talked with you about once before.” Rod said looking at Wesley on his chair

“I have heard many legends over the years but this is really the first time I have seen it with my own eyes!” Wesley

“I know right?”

“oh yeah, I have heard of a mayan legend of a giant serpent in the sea. So this is maybe what their talking about!” Wesley

“that ridiculous! That’s no serpent!”

“we know.” Rod then stood up from the captians chair and walked towards the door

“where are you going rod?”

“all crew, this is an order. Stay on the skies and never come down. Assault team, ready to sortie.”

“you are taking them there?! Are you mad?!”

“no. which is why we will try and search for that boat.” Rod then got out of the room

“wait! Damn that guy!”

“what do we do now?”

“we just observe and wait as rod will rescue.” Wesley

On the cargo bay, rod was discussing the strategy to the assault team.

“you got that?”

“yes sir!”

“now ready your gear and lets move out!”

After they ready their gear, the assault team then sorties out of the origami and into the storm. With their spectral gear, they also observe the movements of the entity along with the disturbances around them.

“sir, the drones are all ready.”

“alright! alpha, beta, delta, and omega 6! Ready the drones for search and rescue!” rod

“yes sir!”

“team, lets all stall that entity. Remember what I just said!”

“yes sir!”

They then flew towards the entity where all of them readies their energy weapons. The whole team was equipped with energy lasers in their arm, and leg platings as well as energy swords so that they can do both fight and defend themselves. And at a safe zone, alpha, beta, delta, and omega 6 then launched 20 drones towards the disturbances to echo locate anything.

On the monitors in the bridge, the presidents couldn’t believe themselves as they are seeing rod and his team battling the gigantic entity which was thrashing its tentacles at each one of them while they also saw the drones disappear after it entered the distortion.

“what happened to the drones?”

“and how will the fight last?”

“allow me to explain mr presidents. the entity is like a lump of accumulative quantum energy so by piercing it with pure energy, the atoms from that entity will scatter preventing it from ever getting hold of them. “ omega 3

“Basically, they serve as a distraction while the others do their work.” Omega 4

“damn it! if only we could also go in there to help!”

“no can do presidents. You stay right there.” Wesley

The presidents all both cower in fear and frustrated that they could only watch at the side.

“by the way, how long can those drones go?”

“about 40 kilometers sir.” Omega 3

“what?!”

“all the drones are disposable really. They just transmit visual data towards the controller where they will also see what is going on.”

“basically, there is no going back for those drones right?”

“yes, they just basically move at a circular motion until they reach over 40 kilometers where we lose contact with them.”

“what a waste of materials and money.”

“that’s not true sir, since all of the drones are all made out of recycled parts.”

“hahh..”

the presidents of them just sighed as they have nothing that they could do while Wesley was busy analyzing the pictures taken from the ruins. After hours of intense fighting with the entity, the storm suddenly intensifies.

“drone team! Whats your current progress?” rod

“we are currently over 90% done sir.”

“good.” Rod said as he slashed the entitys tentacle that was about to grab him

On the bridge, the presidents just stood by and observe as the team was exhausted from the fight.

“cant we do something in here?”dutuer said as they all braced themselves for rough winds

“sorry sir but this is only a carrier ship, not a war ship.”

“then what about project delta then?! This makes this vessel a warship!”

“that isn’t used for war presidents. Please calm down.”

“how can we ever calm down! I order you all now! Fire that thing!”

“but—“

“I order you as the president of the Philippines to fire that damn cannon!”

“shouldn’t we consider this first president dutuer”

“I have had it with just observing! I order you now to fire!”

“y-yes sir!”

The origami then opens the hatch for the particle laser cannon and shoots after it charged itself. There, rod was then surprised by the sudden fire of the laser cannon.

“what the heck?!”

On the bridge where the presidents were looking at the screen.

“look! It works! Once you shoot that thing, atoms will disperse right?”

“yes but—“

“energy at 80%”

“hmm.. what if maybe we also search underwater..prepare project gravity fall!”

“what?! I was still in the middle of helping rod with shooting the enemy!”

“what we need to help rod now is to help him search the whole area, not making the matters worse!”

“guys, please stop this.”

“we want to help rod! buzz off!” both presidents shouted

“launch the drill drones now!”

“r-roger! All hands prepare project gravity fall now!”

“cancelling fire from particle laser cannon.”

Then the laser cannon suddenly stops firing where rod and the team noticed this after a few minutes of still dodging tentacles

“what the heck are they doing?!”

They then noticed dropping 5 drill drones down to the sea.

“what?! We only have 5 of those on board! What the heck are they—ugh!” rod was shouting when a tentacle almost hit him.

luckily rod was able to defend himself where the tentacle was cut into pieces.

“assault team! Retreat!” rod said after looking below as if having a bad premonition

“but we are almost done here!”

“we can also still go on sir!”

“that’s not it! anyway! That’s an order! Lets all go back now!”

“yes sir!”

The assault team then flew back to the origami.

“this is rod to bridge, please ascend to the skies.. now!” rod said after he landed at the cargo hold and walks straight to the bridge

“what?! Rods back?! But were not done yet!” dutuer said at the bridge

“sir, we really need to go now.”

Then they saw in the spectral screen, hundreds of lights lights suddenly shining below the sea aside from the gigantic entity now trying to get to the origami. Even through rough weather, rod then arrives at the bridge still in his suit which he only removed his helmet.

“ascend now! That’s a direct order!” rod shouted

“yes sir!”

They then ascended towards the stormy skies where thunder and lightning strikes everywhere.

“sir! Im suddenly detecting multiple distortions around the clouds!”

“what should we do now rod?!”

“calm down. For now, let us just ascend and get out of here. and don’t you worry since this ship is also protected by a thick coating of thick plastic.” Rod said after he arrived at the captains chair

Thunder and lightning struck around the clouds as the monitor also detects multiple distortions suddenly opening up. Then after a few minutes, they were high above the clouds and into the stratosphere where they were also floating a bit due to less gravity. They were also seeing the sunset back then.

“now move forward and take us to washington!” rod shouted another order

“yes sir!”

They then moved forward with the boosters at their maximum output.

After a while, they finally got out of the stormy weather in the Bermuda triangle.

“whew.. I thought we were a goner back there.”

“presidents, this may be rude of me but.. we seriously need to talk..” rod said as he faced them with a very annoyed face.
