Chapter 57
Narrator Pov:
"When we get to the bottom, we head and get our stuff. Eret, go and get people from a platoon, 10 people max. Any more and they won't fit in the truck. Hunter, if you want, take something from the armory, and make sure the prisoners are secure, Eret," Jake says as the elevator stops and opens. They rush out and head their separate ways.
Eret heads to the left, going down to the barracks. Arriving he opens the door and finds Nikolia, his wife and head of a squad of 4. "Nikolia, get your squad and head to the loading bay. On arrival you should see a person around 7' 8 and maybe another around 7, along with a giant pickup with 3 axels. Tell them Eret sent you," Eret tells Nikolia.
"Sure, but what is going on, I heard an explosion," Nikolia says, getting ready.
"Someone sent a helicopter to either kill the people I just mentioned, or to kill Stoick and Gobber. The taller one took the helicopter out with a handgun. Now I need to go check up on the prisoners, send a platoon to watch them as well," Eret says, running off.
Nikolia gets her gun and gear on and run off. Just then an announcement goes off. "This is Chief of VIking Command. I was attacked in my office by a Helicopter and it has been taken care of. I want the Prisoners, the ones who were stealing from that electronics store that we have in our custody locked down with force stronger than a screaming deaths scales. Let the owner of the electronics store and his sister out. Other than that, get ready as we have to do a scrub of the police," Stoick announces.
Nikolia, hearing this, heads straight to the bay after getting her squad, where she sees the person in question. "Eret sent me," Nikolia says.
Meanwhile, Hunter got a gun from Gobber's station, and ran off to the bay. Arriving he sees Nikolia and company heading over to Jake. "Eret sent me," Nikolia says.
"Then get in the truck when it arrives. Hunter, here," Jake says, giving Hunter his stuff.
"I'm sorry, truck?," Nikolia asks. But then, a truck busts into the compound, not your normal one as this one has 3 axels and 7 passengers.
"Scoot over Emma," Jake says hopping in, as does Hunter. "Get in the back," Jake informs Nikolia.
"Good to see you," Emma says giving Jake a hug.
"Where on earth are Hiccup and Astrid," Jake says, at this point he doesn't care about identities.
"They were worried about you so they headed to the store where Fish is," Emma replies. With that, as soon as they are out, Jake puts the pedal to the metal, reaching his high speed again.
"When we get there, I want you to go and get Hunter's Jeep. Then come back to us, after that, take the jeep and go get the other cars," Jake informs Emma as they speed into town. They reach the store in minutes due to the small size of the island.
"What about them?," Emma asks as Jake exits.
"Only get them if you are in dire need of help and I am not there," Jake says. With that, Jake, Hunter, Charlie, Snotlout, Mia, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, Nikolia and her squad, get out of the truck.
"Where are they headed off to?," Nikolia asks as they leave.
"To get my jeep. We are not that far from the store, come on," Hunter says. With that they run towards the store. Upon arrival there is nothing in a half block radius except the secure vault.
"What on earth happened, and what is that?," Nikolia asks, seeing the carnage and the vault.
"Judging by how there are no police vehicles, those moles in the police caused this. As for that, that was something Jake installed. Fish should be inside it, right?," Hunter asks Jake.
"Yes, it was designed to survive something much more deadly that that," Jake responds.
"What, a nuke?," Nikolia asks.
"Something capable of vaporizing objects, without leaving behind radiation. It can den't it, but not much more as there is another metal at play, and we are wasting time," Jake says. With that, Jake slides down the slope and runs over, the rest following.
"I seriously don't understand you," Charlie puts in.
"I am not even surprised anymore," Snotlout adds.
"You act like stuff like this is a daily occurrence," Nikolia says to them.
"The explosion, no, the craziness of these guys, yes," Mia answers. Nikolia is surprised, she didn't think that the way the people were acting was normal, but the explosions since they were planned for worse.
Hunter gets to the door and inspects it. "Dammit, the heat welded it shut, Jake, you have something for this?," Hunter asks Jake.
"I might," Jake responds. Jake grabs the Katana from her hair and proceeds to cut the hinges off the door and the welding before kicking it down.
"What on earth is that sword made from," Nikolia says, dumbfounded.
"Doesn't matter," Jake says, putting the semi black alloyed metal away. Jake proceeds to grab the door, burning her hands in the process, and rips it out, tossing it away.
"Ahhh!," Is heard from the inside. Guess that is Fishlegs.
"You good Fish?," Hunter asks, entering.
"Oh, its you," Fishlegs responded.
"What happened here?," Hunter asks.
"I was hiding in here due to the people with guns who ran in here. From the feed I saw them taking computer stuff and went to raid the backroom and the basement. Then you guys arrived holding them down, the police arrested them, and you. I waited until the armed guys were gone and was about to leave, but I saw the police place down something in the basement. Then a little later as they were about to leave, Astrid arrived and was heading for the store. The police immediately went and arrested her without warning and left. Then, everything went black and an explosion went off," Fishlegs informs them.
"Emma should be back soon. When she is we are going after them," Jake says.
