Ocean Master

Wom! Wom!

"Intruders!" "Intruders!"

"Damn! What happened? It's already so late in the night".

Inside one of the most heavily guarded and pivotal quarters of the Crimson Fleet camp, a commotion started as the workers woke up from their slumber to the sharp alarming sounds of the system A.I.

This chamber was the central control quarters [C.C.Q] where every electronics-related machine of the fleet was master controlled.

The work of the crew here was not only to master control the electronics-related machines, but they were also in charge of the security cameras. The walls of this huge chamber were filled with virtual screens.

In these virtual screens, every part of the fleet camp was being shown.

At this moment, the dozens of workers were startled by not only the warning sound but also the alarming red light that repeatedly blinked in the virtual screens.

"Narrow it down!" An authoritative voice suddenly ordered.

After being stunned for a few seconds, the President of the central control quarters finally reacted to the anomaly. His workers immediately went to work under his urging as they rapidly narrowed down the location of the anomaly.

In a few seconds, all the virtual screens combined into one, forming a large virtual screen in the air that was showing the scene in sleeping quarters B-8.

In this large virtual screen, the scene was magnified for maximum impact. Blood dyed the water red, forming a disgusting sight of mixed blood and flesh as Atlantian corpses floated lifelessly in the dozens.

A path of blood led straight towards the direction of the strategy room.

The tent form of the strategy room was already battered and destroyed. Inside, the sleeping quarters B-8 master strategist leader's head was floating lifelessly at a corner, separated from his still twitching body.

In the virtual screen, the 5 predators swam closer to the revised detailed map that was hanging proudly in the wall of the strategy room, close to the flag.

Seeing this scene, every worker in the central control quarters felt a chill running down their spine. Their heart went cold in anger, fear, and shock.

"Show me the anatomy laboratory". The President of the central control quarters maintained his stance and calmly demanded.

"Yes Sir!"

Immediately, the large virtual screen was divided in half with one half still showing Sebastian and his crew while the other showed the anatomy laboratory.

The laboratory was still dark, calm, and silent.

The workers manipulated it from their master computers, overriding the original authorities as the lights switched on in the lab. With the light on, the workers were able to see everything.

There was no slaughter here like in the sleeping quarters, only the 5 guards were nowhere to be found, which meant they were probably dead.

"Search for Doctor Statham and Doctor Mariana".

"Yes Sir!"

The next moment, the virtual screen divided again, turning into 3 screens. On this third screen, a room was shown.

Doctor Statham and Doctor Mariana were surprisingly together in the same room, asleep. They were naked, huddled together in a bed, with a water spread blanket covering them protectively.

Seeing this, the President's eyes twitched but he heaved a secret sigh of relief. The loss of any of these 2 Doctors would have dealt a severe blow to the fleet, the loss of 100 soldiers couldn't compensate for their lives.

With these 2 safe, the President's eyes flickered coldly as he calmly made decisions.  His mouth opened the next moment, shouting orders at the pace of a rapid machine gun.

"Send an order for sleeping quarters B-8 to receive reinforcements".

"Lockdown sleeping quarters B-7, B-8, and B-9".

"Release the origin magic suppressants in all above-mentioned sleeping quarters".

"Release the metal Hounds and give them their target".

"Unleash the meta-shark, but keep him on standby at the Main Armory's central gate".

The President paused slightly before continuing. "Inform the Sergeant".

"Yes Sir!"

…

Sebastian was nonchalant to the blood around him as his eyes glowed in relief and joy as they finally laid and focused on the detailed map of this military base that was attached to the wall of this strategy room. 

The battle that he started as soon as the lights shone on him was fast, going smoother and easier than he expected.

Their superior strength directly crushed that of the soldiers, granting them access to the strategy room without facing any significant obstruction.

Tonado may know a lot of things as an old monster, but he still looked at things from the perspective of a toad monster. He didn't understand why Sebastian placed so much importance on this drawing, but he trusted the Ocean Master.

He hovered beside Sebastian, looking intently at the drawing to deduce its mysterious aspect. While both of them did this, the 3 other predators tightly defended against the strong counterattack from the Atlantians.

The military base's map was simpler than Sebastian expected. The name of the fleet was written at the top of the drawing, before the elaborate drawing itself.

>>Crimson Fleet<<

>Exit/Entrance<

Seeing this, Sebastian quickly understood the map as his expression turned grim. From what was before him, their situation was grim.

Without a doubt, the Atlantians were already alerted about what happened. Facing such overwhelming circumstances, according to the map, they still had to cross through 5 main quarters before finally getting to the exit.

This task was hard, most especially when the Leaders Sleeping Quarters was also ahead. This made things a lot more complicated, but the task was still not impossible yet.

Of course, Sebastian did not believe that the fleet didn't have a contingency back exit. A wise and capable rabbit always had more than one hole.

The only problem was that the back exit was not here which was normal. If there was one, it would probably only be known by the higher-ups of the fleet and would require special conditions to open it.

Sebastian's brain rapidly thought as he quickly improvised with his plan.

"Let's move!".

…

In the Leaders Sleeping Quarters, in the biggest and most luxurious room of all, Sergeant Barnes slept soundly as he diligently focused on shrugging off the fatigue and tiredness of the previous day's exertion.

Unfortunately for him, he wasn't fated to enjoy his sleep today.

Beep! Beep!

The Sergeant's eyes snapped open instantly after the first beep sounded. His right hand moved fast, grabbing his military pocket phone as he swiped it open.

-->New Message Notification<--

->The test subjects escaped, now they are…<-

Sergeant Barnes sprang up from his bed from the first sentence alone as his eyes shone like lanterns, sleepiness running far away from them.

He carefully and meticulously read through the message.

-->The test subjects escaped; they are now wreaking havoc through the camp. They are already in the B series sleeping quarters, and casualties are already in the dozens, approximately 26 confirmed dead soldiers<--

Grab!

Without saying a word, the Sergeant whose face had already become solemn grabbed his trident that originally rested against the wall.

With a swift wide step forward, he soared high, rapidly floating through the water into the distance.

The hunt was on!
