Six Orca Surprise

<Okay,> I said grimly. <We'll give them what they want. All of us. We hit at the same time. Top speed.>

Marco said an extremely rude word. I couldn't blame him.

<It's what we came for,> Rachel said.

<On the count of three,> I ordered. <One. Two. Three!> , <AAAHHH!>

We dove!

Six big orca at top speed!

Like a rushing, runaway train we powered down on the Sea Blade! Until none of us could have stopped if we'd tried.

TSEEEWWW!

<Aaahhhh!>

TSEEEWWW!

Staggering pain. No time. Move! Keep moving!

Twenty feet. Ten. Inches.

B-B-BOOOOMMMM!

We hit!

Pain seared through my head.

I clicked and saw five mammoth whale bodies rolling away and off the ship, stunned.

I rolled away. Couldn't see for a moment. My own blood clouded the water. Where was I? Where was the air?

Then the blood cleared. I could see the Sea Blade, improbably above me. No, I was turned around. And the ship was on its side.

The tail section of the Sea Blade was a mangled mess. The ship listed badly to the left. Black liquid poured from its fuselage.

<We did it!> Cassie cried. <We destroyed the Sea - !>

TSEEEWWW! TSEEEWWW! TSEEEWWW!

Yellow Dracon beams shot crazily out of the torn-up vessel! As if the ship itself was furious. Wounded and out of control.
