[Case: Local Royal cruise found sunken by the Atlantic Bay. Reports of 30 bodies recover. Thus many more are missing. Remaining sole survivors are apprehended by local rescuers and are taken in for questioning. We don't know who caused the accident as there weren't any engine failure or a freak storm.]

[The anomaly can wrap the chain and anchor around the boat. Breaking it or dragging it to the bottom with its weight.]

Captain Joe: "Good afternoon everyone. This is your captain speaking. We will be leaving Coral Bay in under 5 minutes. Please reassure that you got everything you need for a 5 day long journey to Jamaica."

Crew mate 1: "The engines are secured Cap. This cruise is ready to go."

Captain Joe: "Excellent."

[The horn blasted and begin to make its move away from the bay. Many people waved goodbye to those below. Some were family members. Two couples were on their honeymoon. Planning this trip ever since their marriage, a luxurious room was waiting for them.]

Husband: "Isn't this amazing honey. A 5 day journey to Jamaica and a week long holiday there!"

Wife: "Indeed, a good way to begin our journey. Nothing can ruin our special day!"

Husband: "You can say that darling."

[The two left their room at 4. Making there way to the main deck,on the way they saw 3 teens gossiping about the seas. Scaring one another. The two couples laughed it off. Never believing the old pirate tales about those lost at sea and the storm sunken them into the blue. They had a feast at the cafe. And swam for the bit at the pool. The sun was setting, letting out a beautiful orange and pink sunset over in the distance. The two shared a few kiss. Sharing their love to each other. A old man came up to them. Looking down at the blue ocean below. He looked at the two.]

The old man: "Old tales about this dreaded ocean.. Especially this part of the Caribbean.. The ocean where pirates pushed off the old and let the sea swallow them whole. Many shipwrecks and wars happen here... Some say when the moon light touch the ocean, the water turns red.. To show how many are trapped in the darkness... I do keep my young self off this water... And my first time since 50 years to step foot on a boat.. Any boats that can cross the raging seas.."

Husband: "Why do you people keep talking about some fake stories about this sea.. First those 3 teens and now you!!"

The old man: "You won't know about it young one... You never know the past as much as I do..."

[The couples felt uncomfortable, leaving the deck and making their way back to their room. The captain was busy monitoring the control room before a crew mate rush towards him. His face was pale and his heart was pounding.]

Crew mate: "CAPTAIN!! CAPTAIN! THE BOILER ROOM. SOMEONE TAMPERED THE BOILER ROOM."

[Another crew mate made his way telling a different problem.]

Crew mate 2: "There also a hole on the ship... What do we do!"

Captain Joe: "Calm down you two... We block off the hole and fix the boiler... Simple as that."

[The captain turned on the speakers. Calling for his team of workers to hurry down to the lower floor of the ship to sort out the hole and the boiler.. Luckily the hole was sealed and the water was poured out. They manage to sort out the boiler. But was confused by the weird scratch marks and dirt on them. Someone had snuck in from the hole... Someone had damaged the ship with a powerful blunt object.. They knew who ever got in was still somewhere around the cruise ship. The captain ordered some guards to search around in hopes of finding the intruder while reassuring the guests to stay in their rooms for the night.]

[By tomorrow morning they found no sign of any intruders but found more scratch marks and dirt around the decks. The news didn't surprise the couples. They ain't letting their honeymoon be ruined so quickly by some weirdo going around. My. We're they wrong by the time they see a figure at the edge. Looking over at the blue sea. He didn't look like any other guests at the ship. He was different. He was dirty and ragged. He didn't look human. But he was.. His eyes were hollow and was holding something that was wrapped around in chains... A large heavy anchor. He knew they were looking at him.. He knew his presence were known by the time the speakers called out to him by the captain.]

185: "THE OLD MUST SINK. THE YOUNG MUST FLOAT... LET THE WEAK DIE... LET THE STRONG LIVE... THEY ALL... MUST SEE THE DARK.... LET THEM FALL INTO THE DEEP BLUE SEA..."

[He throw the anchor. Wrapping around the ship with the long chain. The chains were tight enough and the anchor crashed its way down the wooded plank. Breaking through the ship and exiting the bottom. Water quickly filled up the creature dived through the hole. Pulling the anchor. Dragging the cruise to the ocean. Tilting it upwards.]

Captain Joe: "GET THE LIFE RAFTS READY. WE'RE ABANDONING SHIP!!"

Crew mates: "But what about the guests!?"

Captain Joe: "GET AS MANY AS YOU CAN TO THE LIFE RAFTS!! AAAAAAAAAA!!"

[Tens of people pushed and shoved their way to the small boats. It was hauled down quickly by the crew mates. Only 5 of the 8 life rafts manage to lower down to the ocean safely while 3 were jammed to the hooks. The boat was tilted upwards.. Sinking in to the darkness. Many people just fell while some hold on. Wearing life jackets to keep them afloat... Well some were still trapped in their rooms.. Begging to be found.. The creature was stilling pulling the anchor along with the ship. The lights went out. And the ship was long gone along with half of its guests and crew mates. The captain was on his private boat. Helping his guests by pulling them aboard. He was devastated and shocked... How.. A single creature manage to sink an entire cruise ship... The search for the bodies are still on going... Many survivors were rescued and taken back to land. One looked at the sea... The old man.. Smiling.]
