Jaune Arc The Criminal

Part 39: The Naval Ship 1/2

Jaune POV:

In the middle of the ocean, two bullheads could be seen flying over the water low to avoid radar detection. Inside one of the bullheads, several figures could be seen.

"You sure about this," I whispered to Neo who sat next to me inside the bullhead with roman on my right.

"Trust me loverboy, nothing will go wrong with me on your side," Neo typed on her scroll.

"I hope so," I grumbled as I mentally stopped myself from throwing up.

"Alright we are closing on the naval ship, get ready in five," The pilot spoke throughout the intercoms as I readied my rifle and pulled down my mask.

I was wearing black combat pants, a black combat vest, a black hoodie, a pistol strapped on my right leg, and a gas mask to avoid any gas.

"This is VRN Nevermore, please tell us your authorization code within five minutes or be prepared to be fired upon," A voice on the radio asked the pilot who pulled out a notebook with the code.

"Let's hope these codes you managed to get Cinder worked," Roman said as he finished his cigar.

"Trust me roman, these will work," She merely responded as the pilot began reading out the codes on the radio.

"Affirmative, be prepared to land on the deck," The voice on the radio said as the pilot and its crew sighed in relief.

"Get ready since this will undoubtedly turn into a massacre," Roman said while nudging me as he readied his cane.

Third-person POV:

The ship came into view as the two bullheads began to land on the pad where several unarmed bored sailors waited. As the first bullhead landed on the pad while the sailors who thought this was a regular provision restocked because they were so far out on the sea, and with Grimm attacks becoming more frequent, they had to get their food and ammo delivered through bullheads.

As the bullhead doors began opening there was nothing until they could see several masked men who immediately began opening fire upon the unexpected sailors.

"What the fuc-" A sailor managed to say before he was ruthlessly gunned down alongside his comrades. The masked men began to pour out of the bullheads killing any unarmed sailor who got in their way until they met fierce resistance from the onboard Valean Marines.

"What the hell is going on, radio command and tell them what's going on," The Captain of the ship yelled out as he could hear the gunfire between the Valean Marines which were on board to help out with pirate and Grimm attacks which now were fighting these unknown armed men.

"I can't sir, our radios seem to be jammed," One of the sailors yelled as he desperately tried to radio back to land.

"Keep trying while the rest of you let's go and show these fuckers that they shall not take this ship as long as we live," The Captain roared out as he grabbed a rifle and a pistol with his men following closely behind.

"Fuck, who are these guys," Jaune asked as he hunkered behind cover to avoid the gunfire from the military men.

"Valean Marines, the only branch alongside the Valean Militia left alone after the great war and still operates to this day along with the Valean Navy," Roman said as he joined up with Jaune behind cover as he signaled Neo to help out.

"I thought the kingdoms except Atlas got rid of all their military might," Jaune questioned as he could see Neo disappear before reappearing behind the marines surprising them before they were swiftly killed.
