THE BREAK OUT
“Freeze with your hands in the air,” said the Sergeant. Buzz went the taser. “We warned you. Now you are going to jail for ever and it’s the one in the middle of the ocean in the most heavily armoured ship. It will take around 21 to 22 days to get there. Once you get there you will have lunch at 2:30, dinner at 7:30 and breakfast at 8:00.”
We were 14 days in when the impossible happened. A big hairy German Shepherd, towing a trailer across the ocean.
“Fire!” said the captain. It took two seconds for 250 cannon balls to be flying at the dog. But they missed. “What how did we miss? That is impossible. Archers wrap your arrows with cloth. Gunmen see those pig troughs, put them in front of where the archers stand and fill them with oil and light it on fire and get ready to fire. Same with you cannon men and archers. Now line up behind the oil, now dip the cloth in the oil and slowly take it out,” then yells the captain “Take aim.” and “Fire!!!”
Flaming arrows were raining from the sky, thousands of bullets flying at the dog and cannon balls ripping towards the dog, and that’s when they realised that it’s name is boxer from the massive collar around its neck. Thump the dog was on the ship.
“Stop that dog, it’s taking the prisoner!”
Then came a sound across the sky. Loud, explosive and mechanical.
“What was that?” asked the captain
“I do not know” replied an archer
“Then find out!” yelled the captain
“Sir I know what it is, two F18 that they are chasing the dog with. By the looks of things, they are using heat seeking missiles and machine guns on the front of the F18’s.” another archer said.
“Follow that dog, drop the sails including the side sails and blow the horn. Get the rest of the ship’s!”
Boom! The ship crashed off the top of one wave and into another.
“See that dog line up behind us, it must be serious.”Said the captain.
Meanwhile on one of the smaller prisoner transport ships, a mechanic was talking to his mate.
“We are helping the mothership. Isn’t that crazy?” asked the mechanics assistant.
“It’s the mothership we are talking about, literal mother of all the ships, the mothership, that is crazy!” said the mechanic.
“What do you think of that?” said the mechanics assistant, pointing to the big naval ships approaching.
“In fact that is crazy. Wait a minute are those battleships? This is the craziest day of my life.” said the mechanic “There’s more, even aircraft carriers and submarines. This is intense, that must be a very wanted dog.”
“The whole entire US Navy is chasing that dog. Unbelievable. I think we are going to war. If that dog isn’t stopped the whole world could get destroyed.” Whispered the assistant “That is horrible, don’t you think so?”
“Yes. I do. That does sound horrible.” Replied the mechanic
Back on the first ship, the captain was still talking to the sergeant.
“I don’t use this too often. This is an emergency we need to use the secret weapon you guys, we need to use the secret weapon and no the secret within is not a gun, it’s a wind horn. When you blow into it, it will create a massive gust of wind that will follow your command and blow the ship forwards.”
Boom! The guns on the front of the battleships fire. Thousands of anti-aircraft bullets smash down on the water. Big splashes of water reaching 10 feet in the air.
“Why is that dog barking?” asks the captain. “It has defences? Are those guns strapped to the regular size dogs? Shoot those dogs no matter what, shoot those dogs we must get to that dog! And why does everything want to destroy everything? Why can’t they save everything and not destroy everything? Imagine what it would be like, wouldn’t it be awesome?”
“Yes it would, Sir.” Replied the sergeant
“Stop!” yells another captain over the radio Boom! “They are using nuke’s!”
Finally it looked dead. At least they thought it was dead. It turns out it was a distraction, it was a hologram. It wasn’t real. The dog had made a hologram of itself and teleported out during all the confusion.
“Then where is it? Wait, I thought I shot it earlier with a tracking dart. It is 17 km north east from us right now.” says one of the gunmen.
“Do not go, we are going to shoot it with a guided missile. Five, four, three, two, one, fire!”Yells the captain
As the missile hits it’s target straight on, the entire ship rejoices. In a quiet voice the captain smiles as he says “We save the world again.”
The end.
