Chereads / Parabellum Academy / Chapter 13 - Trapped

Chapter 13 - Trapped

Alina and the others were still treating the wounded, and me who was putting my force down on one of the wounds Nora sustained. A large shadow came out of the mist and once we got closer it was a ship, while it was closing in on us something dropped onto our boat and a cloud of green gas consumed the air we were breathing, all i could feel was fatique and then darkness.

Before my eyes opened i could hear chains rattling and footsteps pacing left to right, when i opened my eyes my arms and legs were chained to a wall. When i looked left and right the others were there, i was stripped of my armor and weapons only with a shirt and pants on. The door opened and two people emerged a woman and a man, the man held what looked like a modifed cattle prod while the woman was carrying a rifle. "Cheap shits destroyed my oil rig and now im looking at those cheap shits now" the man spat at the floor and jabbed the cattle prod at me, the pain was unbearable and was difficult to endure. He stopped jabbing the prod and walked to the others next to me, "Parabellum soldiers come to kill me? you never stop dont you? i thought you stopped searching for our remnants and carried on" he continued "Who.. are... you" A voice asked next to me who was Stephen. "Im the reason Burnwick exists friend, Eagan Murphey Wildfire. Leader of the new Burnwick" so this is the guy the prisoner talked about. He had a scar on his face resembling a slash from a blade, one eye was grey maybe he's blind on that eye.

"Get those three" the man pointed at Nora, Stephen, and Mary. Shortly after 3 men wearing black grabbed them and moved them to a different room. The man leaves along with the woman and when the door closes gases pour into the room, making me fatiqued abd tired again then darkness. When i opened my eyes i was in a cell with rusted bars blocking my only possible exit, i stood up and felt the bars, they were strong but very rusted, i peering to the sides i cant see anyone. The bars were spaced apart from one another but only my arm can reach out of the cell, i turned around and Nora was resting on the side, i crouched next to her and tried to feel a pulse, ok good shes still alive. Her wounds were visible but not bleeding, "So much for your friend, she took alot of hits and still kicking, she struggled but we shocked her and now she's still here" i turned around and a woman holding a shotgun was looking us, water dripped from tje ceiling onto my forehead, the ceiling and walls were rusted with water lining the walls, so if the soldiers dont kill me this ship will.

"Enjoy dying in a cell kids" said the woman who was walking away with her steps becoming more quiet with every second. Looking back i saw Nora struggling to sit upright with her wounds, i ran to her and helped her sit right, she was holding her wounds and was breathing heavily. "Where.... Are.....We..." Nora struggled to even speak with her wounds from the stray bullets and whatver she went through when i was passed out.

"Were stuck here Nora, rest for now were gonna try to find a way out" the ship rocked side by side with the waves carrying it and the water still dripping over my head. A shadow emerged behind me and when i looked at the shadow, it was that guy who got the three prisoners when we were attacked. The soldier looked up and hit something on the top of the cell with the butt of his gun, the bars went down and the soldier walked the opposite way the woman from earlier went. I lifted Nora with her arm wrapped around my neck, she groaned in pain when i lifted her up and was barely able to walk.

Helping her walk we got out of the cell, there ewere other cells that were open and my teammates walked out. We saw saw each other and Alina from behind the others ran to Nora wrapping Nora's other arm on her neck. We decided to the door the man went to, Sebastian opened the door and we began slowly walking our way out.

While making our way to the ext we passed a room with 'Armory' on top of the door, opening it we saw our weapons and armor accompanied with other things like grenades and some weird flamethrower contraption. We went in and put on our armor and readied our weapons, everybody was ready but none of them got the other weapons here, "Its a shame to leave these here, lets take them the ship is gonna sink anytime and i dont want these guns to go to waste" i explained. Everyone looked at me then went to get something from the stash of other guns, i grabbed some grenades i found and this flamethrower of sorts. Alina got her medical equipment back and started patching Nora up again, with some bandages and painkillers Nora was on her feet worh some limping but she can walk normally.

The ship rocked violently to its side with a loud metal puncturing noise below, the ship got hit that aint good we gotta get out now. A voice came on the radio saying "Attention all personnel the ship is leaking from the lower, all units report to the lower deck" Rapid loud footsteps were heard around us top to bottom left to right. "Now is the chance to get out" said Mary with weapon ready to fire, we looled out of the door and nobody was there. We began running for any stairwell we could find that goes up, we found stairs that leads up to another deck.

While searching for an exit a more violent force from imside the ship slammed us into the wall and we felt as the ship slowly began descending, ok now it's sinking we gotta move fast. After moving across the ship we came across stairs leading up with the grey skt above, we got up and a voice came on a speaker and said "ALL PERSONNEL EVACUATE THE SHIP, ABANDO8N SHIP NOW" We saw our motorboat hanging on the side like a lifeboat still in okay condition.

We got on the boat and lowered it onto the water, as we were starting the boat a helicopter began flying out of the ship disappearing into the storm. The storm was stronger at this time with the waves carrying us farther and farther from the ship, Stephen continued trying to turn on the engine with no success. While doing this, in the distance glints of yellow accompanied with gunshots was what i saw from the ship, bullets whistled around us. as they hit our boat or hit the water. The engine finally came to life and we sped off and with the mist again getti g thicker and thicker, a huge explosion of red and green from the ship was the alst thing i saw, seconds after the sound of the explosion hit us like a brick.

Alina already started treating Nora while the others sat on the sides calming themselves with what they went through, i just met the leader of the Burnwick remnants. "You ok Damon?" Thalia asked, "Once we get home let's play another round maybe i can beat you this time" Thalia continued with a chuckle. I had nothing to do again but in my hands was the weapon i stole from the armory, it beared the symbol of Burnwick and resembled a flamethrower. The front of the flamethrower had a screen on it, the screen read "Fuel levels 43%" with a level bar thats below half under the screen. Looking at the bottom there was a tank similar to the grenades i got, the words 'Pull to detach fuel tank, reinsert new fuel tank and push back' were etched on the side, to my knowledge this must be fuel holder and these arent grenades these are fuel tanks! great i can torch towns with this.

"Good catch Damon no use in leaving these, they might have benefits. I got this thing which looks like a an attachment to the muzzle, inside is an electric current bouncing everywhere" Sebastian put his hand on the hand showing us the attachment, it looks like a muzzle brake with a transparent top that did have an electric current constantly bouncing around endlessly. "I got this bandoleer of what i think are grenades "Mary behind us showed the bandoleer, they didnt look like my fuel tanks, i took one and on it was another set if words etched on it saying "Attach to flamethrower end for extra fire" there was an tube with a wire at the end of the flamethrower, i inserted the grenade into the tube trying to find some sort of outlet to insert into the grenade i found a small hole where i could put the wire into, inserting the wire the flamethrower virbrated with some force, pointing out i pulled the trigger of the flamethrower, a big ball of flame consumed the outside in blue and yellow fire.
