The Apocalypse [The Original]

Ch. 11

   An alarm sounded and the engine room filled with a red flashing light. "Oh, no!" Wave yelled over the alarm. "What do we do?" yelled Jason. "We have to get the engine back on before we crash and burn." "I know. But... how?" yelled Jason. "Guys?" a voice came from behind them. Jason spotted an intercom on the wall behind them and ran to it. "Jet?" "Yeah. What's going on?" asked Jet. "The engine stopped. We're not sure what to do."

   "Well, think of something. If anyone can fix it, it's Wave."
Jason looked over at Wave to see her fiddling with the engine trying to get it to turn on.
"Any luck?" Jason yelled.
"No." said Wave. She took her wrench and started banging on the engine.
The ship continued to fall, rapidly.
"10,000 feet left." came Jet's voice over the intercom.
"Wave!" Jason yelled. "10,000 till we hit the ground."
"Got it." said Wave as she continued working on the engine.
Jason just stared at her. "It's not going to work." he said to himself. "Not in time." he headed towards the exit.
Wave saw him. "Where are you going?"
"I've got a plan!" Jason yelled back as he ran out of the engine room.
Jason took off down the hallways. "Silver!" he yelled. He ran past a room, stopped, and backed up. He saw Silver and Blaze talking about something. "Silver."
Silver looked over at him. "What s it?"
"Come on. I have a plan."
Jason and Silver arrived at the bridge and ran to the door that led outside, stumbling on the way.
"Jason?" asked Jet. "What are you doing here?"
Jason and Silver reached the door. "Open it. I have an idea."
Jet saw the Extreme Gear in their hands and nodded. The door opened and the two jumped out. They were in a free-fall. They brought the Extreme Gear under their feet. The boards attached to their feet and they flew towards the ground. They reached the ground and jumped off the boards. The ship was probably only 5,000 feet above the ground now.
"Ready?" Jason asked.
"Ready." Silver replied.
The raised their hands and started to glow white. They concentrated all their energy on the ship. Silver was holding out, but Jason, who was new to this power, was feeling weaker by the second. His face started to sweat and he felt as though would pass out at any second. Silver noticed him.
"Jason. Let go. You're not looking so good." Silver said.
"No." Jason said softly. "You can't... do this... alone." he sounded weaker.
"Jason!"
"No. I can do this. It's... the only... way."
Silver was about to say something but stopped. He just nodded and looked back at the ship. It was glowing white now and it seemed to be slowing down. Jason and Silver concentrated even harder. The ship slowed to a stop with the front touching the ground. Jason and Silver lowered the ship to the ground, slowly. They lowered their hands and the ship ceased to glow. After a minute, everyone walked out of the ship.
"Jason!" Wave yelled with a smile as she ran towards him.
"Wave." said Jason softly, almost at a whisper. He then collapsed to the ground.
"Jason!" Wave yelled. This time, no smile.
Jason's view of the world kept getting blacker and blacker. He could hear Wave yelling but she seamed far away. Soon, everything went black.
