13: Victory!

The air whistled threw the cracks in the Red Bell as it plumited towards the water. It all seemed to move in slow motion for the crew, as they grabbed onto their surroundings to stay in one place. Just behind them, the JAB “Sky Saint” fell at the same speed. Captain Ronald closely watched the altitude as they approached 50 meters.

“Now!”

Evan threw a lever and the lift engines fired up and the fall began to slow. In the helm of the “Sky Saint”, Captain Rainsford saw the Red Bell’s move and acted.

“All engines to lift!”

The Massive JAB began to slow, but it’s size kept it moving down towards the water. The Red Bell came to a stop at 10 meters. The Sky Saint didn’t. It’s huge deck smashed into the water, which was lit up with blue flashes as the engines exploded under her, putting huge holes in its hull, makeing it sink faster.

“Full speed ahead Evan, she’s gonna blow.”

The sea bubbled up into the lift engine in the Sky Saint’s blimp, as it exploded above water, shakeing the air.
