Chapter 10
The Next Day
“So you really are going then?” Nikki asked as Nimble stepped behind the changing wall and removed her cloak, “These Raubers are dangerous.” “Yea, but they won’t attack me.” Nimble said from behind the changing wall. “What makes you so sure?” Nikki asked. Nimble stuck her head out after removing the last of her vestments, taking care to keep her naked body still hidden and said, “I'm not a ship. They only attack ships, which is why I must act now before they get the chance to attack another one.” She pulled her head back in just long enough to slip on her black t-shirt, letting her vulture wings carefully slip through the slits in the back, and step out from behind the wall. “That’s not always true.” Nikki said as she watched nimble adjust her hair ornaments Sleanok, her late nursemaid gave her, and then sit on her bed to wrap her black ribbons that her mom, Trokrena, gave her around her lion like paws like she always did when she was leaving the temple, “They will attack any creature they find at sea if they are hungry enough or if they feel threatened.” “Don’t worry.” Nimble slyly said as she put her hoop earrings in her griffon like ears, “I have the Phantasm Scythe with me. And besides, Herman and Titanic will be with me.” She then slipped on her black trench coat, taking care to let her wings slip through the slits in the back of that coat as well, and buttoned it up. “That’s not a good thing.” Nikki laughed as Nimble then slipped on her fingerless gloves over her talon like hands, “The last time you had to save those ships, you and Herman were both captured and sold into slavery.” “Yea and we escaped, so what’s your point?” nimble asked as she then put on her undertaker’s hat and chuckled, “Don’t worry, we’ll be fine.” She then grabbed her Phantasm Scythe and walked out of the room shouting over her shoulder in a joking manner, “I'll be back before dinner.” “Good luck nimble.” Nikki quietly said as she then watched Nimble head off to Herman’s living quarters.

“Herman, please don’t do this.” His mate, a 1985 Fleetwood hearse, begged as he was saying good bye to all 13 of his kids, “You don’t even know what these things are capable of.” “I have no choice.” Herman said, “These things are dangerous and are attacking ships.” “Exactly, ships, not hearses.” Hersheanna said, “You don’t have to go.” “And if I don’t what do you think will happen to Titanic and the other ships that are at sea?” Herman asked, “We cannot turn away when they need help.” Hersheanna sighed and said, “Just promise me you’ll come back in one piece.” “Don’t worry my little peace lily, I'll be back before you know it.” Herman said, using his pet name for her, “I'll be back before you know it.” They nuzzled and kissed as nimble walked timidly towards the door and waited for him to say good bye to his 13 kids. After saying good bye he turned to Nimble and sighed, “Let’s get this over with.” They flew off together as Herman said, “Carpathia is going to have engine failure when Titanic tells her about this.”

“Your going to do WHAT!” Carpathia angrily said, “R.M.S. Titanic have you lost your mind.” “Relax. We know exactly what we’re doing.” “Uh-huh and I suppose last year you were doing when the salvagers captured you.” Carpathia said. “No, but I knew what I was doing when me and the other ghost ships escaped.” Titanic said as he added a final thought, “Well kind of.” Carpathia rolled her eyes and started to sail away to look after Nathanial when titanic sailed after her and said, “Look, don’t worry, we’ll be fine. Zoith watches over all.” Carpathia turned to him with moist eyes and said, “Please be careful my love, I can’t bare to loose you again.” Titanic held her close and they stayed that way until Nimble and Herman had arrived. Titanic and Carpathia shared, what seemed like, one of the longest kisses ever as Carpathia’s eyes began to well up with tears again. Titanic then said good bye to Nathanial, Sarah, Zack, Hope, and Peace and sailed off with Herman and Nimble standing at the bow. “Please lady Zoith.” Carpathia quietly sobbed as Olympic and Mauritania joined her, “Let him be safe.”

A Few Hours Later

“So where did you say these ships were being held?” Titanic asked. “They are herded off to the north.” Nimble said. “The north.” Titanic said, “Hmmm…that’s by Naufragio Sea, there are enchantments in there against our kind.” “Yes, basically any hazard to ship-kind is found there. Ice, rocks, shoals, even a sea monster to two calls it home.” Nimble said, “Legend has it was all put there by Luft, the plane god. And just beyond that is Lost Ship Shore, where the Raubers live and where the ships are being held.” Titanic let out a shudder and said, “Ugh…the thought of facing ice again makes my hull plates crawl.” His funnels snapped forward as his eyes darted upward while he was sniffing the air. “What’s wrong, Titanic?” Nimble asked as she looked up. “We have company.” Herman said as he looked up and growled. The whole sky filled with Raubers. “CRAP ON A CRUST!” Nimble said as she grabbed her Phantasm Scythe. A herder plane then swooped down and dug its landing gear in Titanic’s face, ripping a chunk of his hull off. Titanic shook his bow and blasted his horn in pain as Nimble gripped her scythe tighter and shot into the air like a bullet from a gun after the herder plane that had attacked Titanic. Nimble reared back her scythe and readied to strike the plane when, unbeknownst to her, a second herder plane swooped down to grab her. “NIMBLE! BEHIND YOU!”  Herman shouted as he then took flight and flew after the second herder plane. He then bit down hard into the plane’s tail and it let out a horrific screech. Nimble looked back for only a second to see what that was, it was all it took for the first plane to wrap its landing gear around her so she was unable to move. The force of the blow caused her to be knocked totally unconscious. “NIMBLE!” both Herman and Titanic shouted as they headed for her and the plane. Herman was quickly stopped when Hunter then bit his roof, making him unable to move. The rest of the herder planes that had shown up then bit Titanic in his funnels and superstructures. Titanic blasted his horn in pain and growled at Snipes. “Surrender now ghost ship and your friends will not be harmed.” Snipes said. Titanic knew he had no other choice, there were far too many Raubers to contend with and Nimble was in great danger. One wrong move towards her and her young life would be quickly extinguished. Titanic looked to the sea and sighed, “Alright…I surrender, but please, do not hurt my friends.” Snipes smiled a sickening smile to Titanic and said, “I knew you’d see reason.” He looked to the plane that was holding Nimble and said, “Ok Crit, let her go.” The plane opened its landing gear and Nimble’s limp body fell out and was headed for the sea. Herman knew that the force of the blow when she hit the water and as high as she was falling would have killed Nimble. Herman dove towards Nimble and flew under her so she’d land on his roof, he then leveled himself and hovered in mid air and looked at Titanic as Titanic looked back at Herman with sad eyes, far sadder than the average ghost ship’s eyes and only said, “Take care of her, Herman.” “I will.” Herman said, “And when she wakes up we’re coming back to get you, I swear to that.” “All right.” Snipes hissed, “Let’s go you!” He pulled hard at Titanic’s forward mast and growled. “I said MOVE!” Titanic blasted his horn in pain and started to sadly sail off for Lost Ship Shore as the Raubers were still biting into him. “We WILL find you.” Herman said with determination as he started to turn and fly for the nearest safe harbor he could find, “And that is a promise.”…
sorry i haden't uploaded in a while. this was a LONG chapter.

i wanted to show just what nimble herman and titanic would be going through and doing to prepare for the task at hand so i thought i'd have them talking to their friends and family.
