The Predator of the Depths

What You're Made Of

Deep within the ocean is the Alicorn sub, cruising through the deep dark waters. Within the sub's control center is Alicorn and her human crew.

Alicorn is standing in the middle of the control center, with her eyes closed.

"Ma'am!" A guy at a radio calls out and Alicorn opens her glowing siren yellow eyes and look to him.

"Speak." Alicorn says.

"We've picked up a distress call."

"Play it."

The radio man nods and presses a few buttons.

<<This is the Eagle Union aircraft carrier Enterprise!>> Alicorn narrows her eyes at the radio as Enterprise's voice plays through it. <<We've come under attack by sirens and are heavily out numbered.>> A few explosions go off in the background. <<Hamman! Essex! To your left!>> A few more explosions go off. <<Coordinates are attached to this message, if anyone's out there, send help! Hornet, help Yorktown->> The message gets cut off.

The radio operator presses a few buttons on his console. "The massage just cut out, but we got the coordinates. It's 10 kilometers from our Northwest."

Alicorn smiles. "Looks like I won't have to get my hands dirty." She chuckles. "The sirens will take out a thorn in my side while also taking out the three legendary aircraft carrier sisters. Salvation is in hand!" She starts to laugh.

"Ma'am! The sub's turning towards the coordinates!"" The driver calls out.

Alicorn stops laughing and blinks a few times. "Huh? What are you saying?"

"The sub is heading towards the distress call."

Alicorn huffs and closes her eyes for a few seconds, before opening them with an angry look. "Stupid Submarine! listen to me, I am your master!" She walks to a nearby wall and punches it, leaving a dent. "LISTEN TO ME! We're on a tight schedule, I need those nuclear shells for my plan!"

Alicorn grabs her head and groans, then she pants a few times.

"Fine, we'll go and save them, but then we must make haste for Anchorhead Bay!"

"Yes, Ma'am!" The crew yell together.

In the dark blue of the water an explosion goes off above it, and Yorktown falls into the water and starts to slowly sink. The water around her slowly turns red from the wounds around her body. Blue petals raise up towards the surface from the flower on her lapel. Parts of her rigging break off and float towards the surface as she sinks down.

Yorktown raises a hand towards the surface as her eyes slowly start to blur and go dark, but she sees a hand reach down to her.

'I don't have the strength to move.' Yorktown says in thought. 'Was I a good sister? Was I a good mother?' Her vision goes dark. 'I just wanted to see my baby's face one... more... time.'

Yorktown opens her eyes and finds that she's in a white void. "Where am I?"

Suddenly she hears the laughter of a child and her eyes widen and she quickly looks around. Only to find a window that leads out to a beach. Yorktown walks over to the window and looks through it, to see a younger Alicorn running along the beach with laughing.
