19,999 ft. and 11 inches Below the
Sea
Five hundred feet below the ocean's surface a
submarine named "New World" was traveling south to intercept a
warship named "Sea Dragon." New World's crew were adventurous people
and didn't care for the lives of those on warships. When they came
close to Sea Dragon they headed towards them at full throttle to
destroy their ship. The submarine they were in was built like a
bullet and in the front it had a sharp point that could penetrate
anything when it hit it at top speed. The men in the ship saw the sub
in the water and they all thought it was a monster and started to
panic. The sub hit the ship's side and it quickly sank to the bottom.
Only a few of the crew lived to tell the story of what happened.
People all over the world were terrified of what happened that day
and they started to search for the creature that was destroying these
warships. Ship after ship went to look for it but they were never
seen or heard of again.
Then New World was not seen for a while, until a
year later it started attacking all warships in its path. One
survivor told of the monster coming at a high speed and crushing the
bottom of his ship even though it was made of steel. When they
brought the ship up to look at it everyone was amazed at the damage
the monster caused to the ship.
All over the world in the newspapers they showed
pictures of different kinds of monsters that might have been the one
destroying the ships. One day after a professer named Dr. Pod read
the article on the monster he decided to go out and look for it. He
hired a crew of expert harpooners. The best harpooner's name was Kirk "Head" Jones
because he had a really big head. He was paid good money to come aboard the ship
to try to kill the monster. They took off in
a pretty good sized ship that was also really fast so they could
catch up to the monster if they saw it.
They searched for months and never saw a darn
thing except a lot of marine life. While they were sailing on a calm
day they saw giant squid which were 30-40 ft in length. Once the
squids attacked the ship but the men were prepared for them with good
harpoons and knives. The battle raged for a couple of hours because
the squid were holding on to the boat's propellers. Two men were
killed in the battle because they got too close to the side of the
boat and the squid were able to reach them with their long tentacles.
But Head came to the rescue of many of the other crew members when he
cut off the squid's main tentacles. He was very courageous in the
fight against the squid and saved many men from the clutches of the
giant squid. After their encounter with the squid the crew were more
careful about what they did. They also took out more weapons and put
them on the deck so that they would be prepared for another squid
attack or for the monster that roamed the ocean. But they never saw
any more squid after that. Or the monster either.
Since they had no luck finding the monster, the
captain of the ship decided to search for it in the depths of the
ocean with a submarine. One afternoon they decided to go down as far
as they could to try to find the monster that roamed the sea. While
they were deep in the ocean they noticed something up ahead of them.
At first they thought it was a ship that had sunk to the bottom. But
when they got closer it looked like a giant bullet with a very sharp
tip. It looked very aerodynamic. Then all of a sudden the bullet
started hurtling towards them. They picked up speed themselves and
eventually left the bullet behind.
After traveling for some time they decided to
surface and rest for awhile because they thought they had left the
mad sub behind. But after an hour they suddenly felt a huge bang on
the side of the sub. Everyone went up on deck to check what it was.
It turned out to be the monster that was chasing them. They started
up their motors and tried to outrun the monster, but it caught them
because it was more aerodynamic. It jammed into the sub's propellers
and caused it to stop. The monster then locked onto the sub and towed
it to the surface where a battle took place between the crews of the
two subs. It was a bad one and bodies were scattered all over the
sea. The water looked like the color of blood. Head and five others
managed to stay alive, and when it was all over they joined the crew
of the "New World" and sailed the seas destroying warships for the
rest of their lives.
