I grip onto the wing of the Blue Blaster. Our plane as i watch the missile patterns, ready to call out any rouge shouts so we don't go down. Today, we end eggman's schemes. He's remade the eggcarrier and planned to drop a machine to the ocean floor that would explode. Causing massive tidal waves over the whole planet, leaving it easy to conquer. Not on our watch. Comic yells out." Alright lash, your at the drop point, get in, wreck the machine, and dive out. We'll catch you before you hit the water!" I nod and i look around, finding an easy path to get onto the carrier." Stay safe! I'll see you both on the other side!" I leap off and i spindash, hitting a row of bee robots. Keeping me in the air as i spindash each in turn, and i land on the carrier's top. Breathing a sigh of relief, room to run! I blast off in hyperspeeds, aiming and i plow straight through the metal into the carrier and i keep running. Searching for the earthquake device and destroying any robot i come across. I find the device with ease and i spindash clean through it. Making sure it was destroyed when it erupts, sound ripping through the carrier. I gotta run, now! I turn and flee as everything starts exploding. I pick up the pace, moving as fast as i dare on the twisty hallways, when i slow down looking around i realize i see the main control room. What luck! I blast into it to find the doctor gone, and everything ripping at the seams. Before i can manage to power up a spindash, a whole huge section of metal debris lands on me and i cry out, trying to push it off me, but it's no use. I'm just not strong enough as the whole place starts shaking and i see comic calling me.
I manage to answer as he yells." Where are you?! The eggcarriers crashing into the ocean!" "Trapped, i'm sorry guys, i'm not getting out of this one. And no teleporting in erric, you'll just get yourself hurt and then we'll both be history. Protect them for me, ok?" Erric nods, seeming to realize what this meant and Comic says," we'll always remember you." I nod as water begins to pour in, and i say," goodbye everyone. And don't let tom and maddie stay in the dark, they deserve to know whats happening here, maybe they can help."my communicator then cuts out as i lost signal and i keep trying to lift the debris off of me, to no success. The water soon reaches me and i take a deep breath before fully going under. Several agonizing minutes pass before my lungs start burning, and i run out of air, the bubbles trailing to the surface. Causing me to slowly pass out.

What she didn't realize was the world wasn't done with her yet. One final explosion rocks the eggcarrier, forming a portal and dragging half of the eggcarrier's remains into it. Where it lands in a heavily chaotic world, right next to a certain hero academy, drenching everyone outside in a deluge of salt water and debris. The kids all working together to keep the others safe. The portal shuts, and the water lowers around whiplash, dropping enough that she gasps, taking in air desperately, coughing a bit.

I gasp, breathing heavily as i look around, still in the decimated eggcarrier, but there was air. Where am i? I shake that aside, for now, i just need to get outta here. Again i try to push the extremely heavy debris off of me, but it's no use. I'm not as strong as knuckles, i can't lift it off. It's so cold in here, and dark.
Shivering, i feel around me, finding a section of cold metal within reach. Curling my hand into a fist i knock on it, letting the sound reverberate through the room.
Eggy loves his acoustics too much. Oh well, it'll be handy for me. Ok, what was the code for SOS again? Right, 3 short, 3 long, 3 short. The only thing i could hope for was that somebody would hear me before i froze to death or died by something or other in here? How haven't i already been screaming in pain due to being crushed? Maybe it's positioned just right to not squash me like a cooked potato?
Stop thinking about that. Stop thinking about food, no matter how hungry you are.
Focus, tap the code, just try to stay awake.
3 short, 3 long, 3 short.
S O S, S O S, oh please let someone find me soon.
Deep breaths, S O S, S O S.
Wait, my comm. Actually scratch that, how long had i been Underwater? It wasn't waterproofed, i think. I always forget Comic's latest updates to the comm watches.
Fine, i guess back to tapping.
Hours steadily pass, at least, i think it's hours, the water sounds like it fully drained out of the room.
This place was gonna be sooo rusty come a month from now. If.... i ever make it out.
No, keep tapping, don't give up. S O S, S O S.
I slowly lose track of how many times i type SOS, a small dent was being formed by my knuckles banging on the weak metal.
I continue for so long it feels like weeks before i stir from my exhausted nap. What's that sound? Is it.... boots? Boots on tile?! Somebody's here. I don't even care if it's eggman, at least he'd give me a chance to get outta here.
SOS, SOS, SOS, SOS, come on, hear me!
"We're here!, are you ok?" A faint, boyish voice said through the metal scrapyard that is the Eggcarrier.
"Thank Chaos, somebody found me! Can you please get in here, i'm trapped by extremely heavy debris!" I yell to be heard, but my sore throat makes that hard, causing my voice to crack. I'm saved, my voice could crack all day, but i was going to get outta this alive.
