Juggernaught

Ships planning room. Bowser, Emerald, Firebird, Santiago, and Chucky are here, along with a Canaan Dog.

"Zev, tell Bowser what you told me." says Firebird.

"This thing's massive sir!" says Zev "I mean she's huge! As big as a Nimitz Class carrier! I took photo's of it, now I wish I didn't! Sir, we can't beat this thing! It's a juggernaught, and it's going to kill us all!!"

"Calm down Zev!" says Bowser "Now then, give me the specs on it."

"Yes sir. It's 1200 feet long, that's slightly longer than this ship! 50 feet wide, at 80,000 tons. It can go as fast as 40 knots and has a full two feet of armor plating along the side! Four turrets with twelve 20" guns that make the Yamato Class look like a toy in comparison! Sir, this thing is unbeatable!"

"Nothing is unbeatable. The Yamato was sunk, the Bismarck was sunk, the Titanic was sunk. This Juggernaught for lack of a better name, can be sunk as well."

"How?" asks Emerald

"Well....I'm working on that part."

****

Open ocean, Mediteranean Sea. The Juggernaught is sailing along. All four turrets swing in one direction and with a tremendous blast all twelve guns fire.

****

Planning room.

"Captain Bowser, transmission coming in for you." reports Winston.

"I'll take it in my office."

Bowser leaves the room and heads for his office. He sits down and turns on his desk monitor. Hunter, Bear and Striker are again on.

"We heard about the ship sir." says Bowser "She launched during the EMP attack."

"It's done more than that." says Striker "It fired all it's guns."

Bowser shrugs.

"So?"

"So?! Captain, do you have any idea of the range of those guns?" says Striker

Bowser sighs.

"No, but I get the feeling your going to tell me."

"There are three turrets on each gun Captain. And they all fired at s specific city. Lisbon, Madrid, Paris and London were all hit at the same time but this things shells."

Bowser whistles softly.

"That thing hit London from the Med Sea? My crew will work around the clock to devise ways of stopping it sir."

"Don't bother sending planes after it." says Bear "It's so heavily armed a plane wouldn't stand a chance."

"Hang on." says Hunter "Bowser, have you any of those cloak fighter prototypes?"

"Uhh, just one sir."

"Cloak fighters?" says Striker

"As I said it's only a prototype, and the Retriever has it." says Hunter "If any of your plans fail, your to use it, along with it's missiles."

"Yes sir."

"Good luck Captain." says Hunter

"And God speed." says Bear.

The monitor switches off. Bowser sighs.

"The cloak fighter."

****

Planning room, same as before. Bowser enters.

"Well, Firebird, I hope you have some ideas."

"One has come to mind sir. We've got two hackers on board, We're going to see if we can disable it from orbit. One of our satelites is currently in range."

"Good. Get to work on it."

****

In a room deep in the bowels of the ship, Bowser, Firebird, Chinook and a fennec are here. Chinook and the fennec are at a desk filled with computer equipment.

"Ready Rommel?"

"Let's do it Chinook."

They begin to type away.

"How long will this take?" says Bowser

"Hours sir" says Rommel "at least. We'll let you know when we're in."

****

Mediteranean Sea. The Juggernaught aims its guns and fires again. Off in the distance, jets can be seen. The break formation and attack the ship. But the Juggernaughts defenses prevent any hits and the planes are shot down one by one.

****

Back with the Retriever. Bowser comes back in to the room where the hackers are working.

"Istanbul was hit from the Juggernaughts guns, a British frigate was sunk outside the Strait of Gibraltar and an entire French squadron was destroyed. I hope you have succeded gentlemen?"

"Nearly there sir." says Chinook. "If your going to launch an attack it better be soon."

"I'll get right on it."

****

Hangar deck. Bowser and Turbulence are here talking next to a futuristic plane.

"Your our best pilot Turbulence. I know you can do it."

"You can count on me sir."

Turbulence puts on his helmet and gets in.

****

Bridge. Bowser waits.

"We're in sir. reports Rommel

"Good. Do what you can to foul it up so Turbulence can do his work."

"Aye sir."

Back in the Med Sea, the Juggernaught is at a stop. A single canon points skyward and fires.

"Bridge, we have a problem! The Juggernaught faught off our cyber attack and destroyed the satelite! Tell Turbulence to be careful!

"I have him on radar!" says Bengal "He's turning away."

On the far horizon a distant light can be seen and then fades.

"Preybird One, this is Doghouse come in, over." says Winston.

"Yaaahooo!!! Didja see that sucker explode?! She went up like a volcano! The Juggernaughts been blasted sir!"

The bridge crew cheers.

"Roger that Preybird One. Good shot!"

The End.
