[A/N; Eyes blue, like the Atlantic and we goin' down, like the Titanic]
Some time passes, the days going by smoothly. A visit from Elizabeth or Alois here and there, a bit of annoyance from the usual fuss the other servants cause and then a bit of a talk with Lau. The man discusses the matter of how Karnstein Hospital has been illegally experimenting on reviving the dead. Ciel remarks that if that is so then it is a menace to the regular society by an underground power, but could be fixed easily if dealt with quickly enough. He consequently orders Sebastian to investigate immediately.
Ciel's fiancé Elizabeth invites him to go on a luxury cruise with her as a family trip. He declines, saying he does not have time. Sebastian reappears and informs him about how the upper-rank doctors of Karnstein Hospital, including the director, Rian Stoker, have opened an association called the Aurora Society where they conduct illegal human experiments daily within the hospital.
Their motto is "the Absolute Salvation of mankind through medicine". Sebastian notes that the next Aurora Society's meeting is to be on a ship that departs from the Southampton Port on April 17. The name of the Blue Star Line's luxury ship is Campania, the same ship Elizabeth had invited him to go, and on the same day.
As they pursue the man carrying the empty glass, _______ quickly brushes off the drunken harassment they had faced earlier, determined to focus on the task at hand. The group navigates the bustling ship with ease, their steps seamlessly blending into the chaos surrounding them.
Ciel's eyes narrow as they follow the man through a dimly lit corridor, the scent of the ocean lingering in the air. His heart races with anticipation, the thrill of the chase fueling his every step. Sebastian, always vigilant by his side, matches his pace effortlessly. Finally, the man reaches a door at the end of the corridor, his figure disappearing into the darkness beyond. Without hesitation, Sebastian pushes the door open, revealing a hidden chamber filled with a sea of hooded figures.
Ciel's lips curl into a cold smirk as he takes in the scene before him. The air in the chamber feels heavy with tension, anticipation mingling with the whispers that hang in the air. His eyes flicker with a mix of curiosity and determination.
Now in order to enter the Aurora Society's confidential meeting, they must "pay" an extravagant price for a glass of water to prove themselves capable and must know the fixed greeting in which they pose as a phoenix. After completing both requirements, Ciel co. are permitted in the Aurora Society and received membership badges. The group encounters some familiar faces such as Aleister Chamber and the Undertaker.
Subsequently, Rian Stoker appears and presents the corpse of Margaret Connor. He promises to revive her and tests the artificial medicine on the corpse. However, it backfires; while corpse, resuscitated, begins attacking humans. As people fled in terror, Sebastian attempts to defeat the bizarre doll by stabbing her heart, but it was ineffective as she was still able to move.
Rian's men try to eradicate the corpse with bullets, but it failed. Rian is terrified as the bizarre doll advances and flees the scene. ________ yells at everyone, informing the rest that the bizarre dolls can be stopped by smashing their heads.
A grim reaper, Ronald, then checks Margaret's mother's cinematic record and informs that he is also bemused by the moving corpses, saying he is certain he already collected Margaret's soul two weeks ago. The other two conclude that the only clue to the mystery is by interrogating Rian and attempts to leave but is stopped by Ronald. Soon after, Ciel, Alois and _______ leave as Ronald, Claude and Sebastian share a brief fight in the first class smoking room. As the trio proceed to the bottom freight storage in pursuit of Rian, however, a bizarre doll suddenly appears and tries to attack Ciel.
_______ pulling him away in time, and slicing the thing's head off. Leaving the earls surprised that Rian had revived another corpse. _________ then points to the coffins with the Aurora Society's mark engraved in front that moving, implying that Rian had revived much more than just two. The bizarre dolls climb out of the coffins, preparing to attack the group.
With the exits blocked by the overwhelming number of Bizarre Dolls, they climb on the luggage. After testing their senses, The group concludes that the Bizarre Dolls does not have any intelligence, hearing sense, sight, or pain. With their attempts to distract the bizarre dolls futile, Ciel becomes a bit more desperate, saying he should protect ______ at least. Since they can't protect themself- or at least he thinks that. The bizarre dolls begin to eat away at the luggage with their teeth and nails. ______ and the newly appeared Sebastian and Claude smash and slice up all the bizarre dolls' heads. At the brutality, Ciel briefly reminisces the time when he was freed from slavery. Afterwards, they locate Rian Stoker, who was hiding. Threatening the doctor to speak.
As Rian Stoker trembled before them, his eyes wide with fear, Ciel's gaze was cold and unwavering. The dim light in the storage room cast eerie shadows across the walls, adding to the tense atmosphere that surrounded them.
"Speak," Ciel demanded, his voice laced with authority. "Tell us everything you know about the Aurora Society and these... abominations you've created."
Rian's voice quivered as he stammered out a response. "I-I... I can't. They'll kill me if I tell you anything. You don't understand the power they hold, the lengths they'll go to protect their secrets."
Ciel's eyes narrowed, his patience wearing thin. "I assure you, Dr. Stoker, your fate will be far worse if you continue to withhold information. We have witnessed the havoc these creatures have wreaked, and we won't rest until we put an end to it."
Sebastian, his crimson eyes gleaming with a dangerous glint, stepped forward. "You would do well to cooperate, doctor. The consequences of defying us will be far more... unpleasant than anything the Aurora Society could inflict upon you."
Rian visibly paled, his face contorting with fear. After being threatened again, Stoker blurts out that there are two freight storages--- the front and the bottom, with the latter being where they are now. In the front storage, however, he had stored ten times the samples he had stored in the bottom storage. Meanwhile, the Bizarre Dolls had freed themselves from the front storage and are roaming around various locations of the ship, wreaking havoc and chaos, murdering passengers.
They manage to kill the captain and the other employees. Ciel orders Sebastian to check on the rest of the Midford family and make sure they get to safety. He then demands Rian for another method to kill the Bizarre Dolls, threatening him with a gun. He informs that there is a device that renders all patients subjected to the Absolute Salvation inactive again, but the device is in his room. Ciel orders him to take him there and they proceed to the freight elevator in the boiler room.
In the elevator hall, Francis Midford is battling the Bizarre Dolls and was appalled that piercing their hearts have no effect. Sebastian arrives and informs that the only way to stop them is to smash their heads. They fight the bizarre dolls as Edward Midford and Alexis Leon Midford enter the scene. They obstinately refuse to run away and start to unsheathe their swords, saying that they are English knights that will protect their family and people.
In a twist of fate, an iceberg pierces holes into the ship, allowing water to penetrate the ship. In the elevator hall, the Sebastian and the Midfords feel a disturbing shock throughout the ship and discover on the first class deck that it has crashed into an iceberg. Sebastian hastily runs to the wheelhouse to prevent the flood, closing the watertight doors.
The flood reaches where Ciel and the others are, the second boiler room. With the watertight doors closing, _________ is separated from the two Earls. Instead of escaping when he could, Ciel goes to get __________ , vowing to protect them. He tells Alois to run and after protesting, Alois finally has to oblige. After reuniting with ________, Ciel rips their heavy and watered down uniform so they could wade in the water when she had flushed and refused to do herself at first, claiming that they valued that outfit too much. Whilst still blushing as ______ is more or less underdressed now. Their clothing reduced to but the torn silk top that barely covered their legs, with the sash barely holding it together. The servant muttering in a voice he can tell is very embarrassed.
"...Hmmng... I liked that outfit.."
