Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: Rough Sea Showdown

Albur pulled out his rifle and blasted the ship into pieces. The glitch inside the CI exited its body and was being killed by Albur.

"Huh, that ain't that hard." said Albur. 

"Oh no, the glitches have found where we are! We gotta scram quickly! " Johnson took out the small hypergem from the speedboat motor and inserted a big one, this causes the boat to move at a crazy speed. 

But out of nowhere, more ships started to emerge near them, they all pursuit their boat, and kept firing glitch bullets at them. 

"I thought glitches only have spaceships...." murmured Albur. 

Covie repaired the broken parts quickly while Albur and Mysty defend the ship. Wilton grabbed Johnson's spare machine gun and tried to help but all of his shots miss. 

After a while, the glitch ships stopped attacking. All of them stop chasing their boat. 

Albur and Mysty stared in confusion. They looked at each other and looked back at the ocean. 

"Why they stopped? " asked Wilton. 

"Suddenly, in front of them, a glitch bullet flew into the sky and bursted, like a firework. Johnson braked the ship. Causing everyone on board to fell. Johnson stared at the ocean in front of them, in fear. The gang stood up, they looked in front as well. A skull headed glitch, have black hollow eyes like any other skull glitches, he have a scientific T shape rocket behind his skull, as its a symbol of a general glitch. His right hand was a cannon, standing above the horizons. 

"It can't be....." muttered Johnson. 

"Greetings, mortals.....allow me to introduce myself....I, am the Warlord of the Seven Seas, the weapon maniac of the glitches, Admiral Anomaly...." he said. 

"AWWWW SNAP, not another general..." Albur took one step backwards. 

Admiral Anomaly made an evil grin, out of no where, glitch ships emerged from the waters, surrounding the gang's ship. 

"How weak and susceptible is brain dead, he let you all survive till now. " said Anomaly. 

"Everyone....battle pose." Albur whispered, everyone went into battle pose. Johnson jumped down from the helm and took out his minigun. 

Admiral Anomaly chuckled, he then raised his arms. Then, the ocean started rumbling, below the place where Anomaly was standing, a dark silhouette shifted. Then, with a sudden, violent hiss and the roar of the waves could be heard. A colossal battle ship emerged from the waters, lifting Anomaly high above the surface. The battle ship is nearly 50 stories tall, and is paired with lots of cannons, there are also many dispensers at the bildge of the battle ship. 

"My most prized battle ship, the strongest, most powerful one ever! The Bug! " announced Anomaly. 

"What the...." 

"Its massive....no...colossal...." 

"Oh, my, goody, goody, gum, drops." 

"Isn't that right my love? How is papa doing? " asked Anomaly. 

The Bug emitted a loud honk, it seemingly have a mind of its own. 

Admiral Anomaly cackled as he pressed a button. The dispenser hatch of The Bug was opened, many small glitch ships came out from it and all rushed towards the gangs boat. 

Albur drew out his axe, while Mysty drew out her crowbar. They both jumped onto the glitch ships and destroyed them before hopping back to the boat. Johnson had to fight with Covie lifting him, since he can't touch water. He fired his minigun at the battle ships which destroys them very easily. Albur managed to get rid of the glitches inside a battle ship and use it for himself. He used his legs to steer the ship's wheel and his upper body is outside of the boat shooting at the glitches with his rifle. Mysty saw what he was doing and decided to land a help. She hopped onto the ship and took out her crowbar, they both shared a nod, Albur hopped back into the ship, sterring the wheel and pressing whatever button he sees, the ship's speed was increased, Mysty stuck out her crowbar, it hit and destroyed numerous ships. 

'Self destruct button pressed down, ship will auto destroy in 10,9....." Albur accidentally pushed the self destruct button of the ship. 

"Oops! My bad! Time to run! " Albur hit the acceleration and jumped out of the ship, he grabbed Mysty and hopped back to their boat. The glitch ship rushed towards the other ships and self-destructed, destroying itself and the ships around it. 

On the other side, Covie have a bit trouble on keeping up Johnson's battle pattern, Johnson also realised this, so he told Covie to let go. After she let go, he aimed for a glitch ship, he busted into it, killed every glitch inside and inserted his robot claws into the ship's control module. 

"Hacking system...hacking process successful." 

Johnson continued to let his claws stay in the ship, he got out thanks to his flexible robot arms. He continued wiping out tons of ships using his minigun until it needs cooldown. 

"Meh, no big deal." Admiral Anomaly snapped his fingers, more and more ships came out from the dispenser of The Bug. 

"Argh! You got to be kidding me! " groaned Albur. 

The ships surrounded their boat, they charged up their weapons. 

"Oh shoot." Albur looked into the boat, he saw Wilton curling up in fear in a corner. 

"Mysty...help me hold my rifle..." Albur gave Mysty his rifle. He then dashed towards Wilton's spot and grabbed him alongside their resources box. Mysty noticed that the glitch ship's cannon have charged up, she quickly hopped away onto another glitch ship and Albur did the same as he pulls Wilton away from their boat, the shots landed on their boat, blasting it and sinking it. 

"Sheesh, this is rough." exclaimed Mysty. 

"Woah, there's still someone there going crazy." Albur looked at Johnson's spot as his kills the glitch inside the battle ship they are standing on. The cyborg over there is still going maniac with his minigun. After a few while, Johnson self-destructed the ship by letting it crash into other glitch ships that are about to attack the gang from behind. He then hopped onto the current glitch ship the gang is standing on and Covie flew to them. 

"Let's go kick the butt of that Admiral!" exclaimed Albur. 

"Let's go!" said Mysty. 

Johnson rolled his eyes as Wilton hid in the glitch ship in fear, wanting to help but too afraid to do so. The gang grabbed onto Covie as she lifted them up to the docks of The Bug. Admiral Anomaly turned around and stare at them. 

"Boring....." he snapped his fingers. Out of a sudden, two huge battle CIs appeared out of thin air. The gang fired their weapons at them and destroyed them easily. 

"Heh, well well, let's witness what makes me a general shall we?" Admiral Anomaly pressed his palms against each other. He then let out a shockwave, the shockwave didnt hurt the gang but it somehow disabled all of their weapons. 

"Wha- what the..." 

"Heh, my special General ability happens to be making electromagnetic pulses that disables machines." said Admiral Anomaly. 

"This makes no sense....you are a weapon user yourself! " said Mysty. 

"Oh, yeah...I am also obsessed with weapons myself, just..." he clicked his tongue. Then, tons of weapons appeared from his T shaped rocket. 

"My weapons are immune to electromagnetic pulses!" Admiral Anomaly then pressed his palms onto The Bug. Then, a giant cannon rose, it aimed around the ocean area and fired. The bullets dropped into the water, creating whirlpools. 

"No one is going anywhere!" He rushed towards the gang. Mysty tazed him with her tazer but it did nothing. He fired his weapons at Mysty, but she dodged them by hopping away. Johnson reloaded his minigun and fired it at Anomaly, while Johnson is doing that, Albur tries to strike Anomaly with his axe to destroy the weapons on him so its easier to kill him with the GK weapons, but that did little to no damage. Covie tried to pull off the weapons on Anomaly but failed to do so. 

"We need to focus on hurting this dude." said Johnson. 

"We are working on it! " exclaimed Mysty. 

But then, Albur heard a cry, he looked back at the ocean, at the ocean, the whirlpools devoured many glitch ships, but the glitches managed to escape from the ships. The one who made the cry is Wilton, who is still in a glitch ship, the glitch ship was slowly pulled in by the whirlpool. 

"AWWWW SNAP! Why do I kept forgetting him?" Albur jumped down. 

"Albur! Where are you going? Come back! " yelled Johnson. 

Albur landed on the ship, he quickly grabbed Witon and the resource box. 

"Hyper Blast! " 

He fired a hyper blast beneath their feet, the blast was enough to bring them halfway to the docks of The Bug. Albur anchored themselves to prevent falling down using his axe. 

"COVIE! I NEED A LITTLE HELP HERE!" Albur yelled as loud as he could. Covie heard Albur and flew down to see what is going on, she quickly found them and helped them up to the docks of The Bug.

"Thanks, Covie." Albur went back into battle pose again, Covie noticed Wilton is with him, knowing he can't fight, she took her to somewhere safe. 

Anomaly continued to fire his weapons, Johnson and Mysty is having trouble to defeat him. Not even with Albur joining back. Mysty panted as she looked at the hypergem in the resource box. She had an idea. 

"Hey, what if I go awakened form? " she asked. 

"What? You serious?" asked Albur. 

Johnson didnt say anything as if he didnt hear the conversation. Mysty rushed towards the hyper gem, she opened the plug of it and pressed her against the plug. Green energy started to enter her body. But it feels extremely painful. The green lightning is seemingly way to strong for her body to handle. Anomaly saw what she is doing, to prevent her from awakening, he fired a blast at her.

"No! Mysty! " yelled Albur. 

The blast hit the ground near her, knocking her back to the edge of the docks and made the hyper gem to roll away. Mysty couldn't balance herself, and ultimately, she fell, she managed to grab the edge of the docks, trying very hard to hang on or else she would be devoured by the whirlpools. Johnson didnt care and continued to fight. Albur quickly got to her and tried to help her up. But the wind up there is very strong, Albur couldn't help her up quickly. 

"Johnson! I need your help!!!!!!" yelled Albur. Johnson didn't reply, or even react. But his attack pattern was greatly messed up. 

"You all are a complete mess!!!" Anomaly released a horizontal blast at Johnson, knocking him back to the edge of docks. 

"You aren't worthy opponents, goodbye..." Anomaly fired a blast near them, making the whole team to fell off the Bug. 

"NOOO!!!! MASTER!!!!" Covie yelled. 

Anomaly noticed Covie and Wilton's existence, he scoffed as he fired a blast that also make them fell off the Bug. 

"See you in the world of spirits! Glitch Wipeout Gang! " to ensure they won't survive, Anomaly activated huge missle on the Bug, being 50 meters in length and 5 meters wide, launching into the ocean and caused a HUGE explosion, creating a huge mushroom cloud. 

_______________________________________________________________________________________________ 

"Heh, problem solved." 

"That missle wasn't meant to be fired at the waters, its power will be cut half." 

"Believe in papa, they will not survive."

"Alright then. By the way, found a large eel during that fight just now, it kept banging on me, it tickles, and also your glitch minions examined it, it is deaf." 

"What? An eel? Alive? Huh, nevermind, tell them to sent that to the mothership! The commander wouldn't want it not in his menu. 

"Got it."
