| Episode Fourteen |
| Zap sits in his boat, thinking. ZAP: (thinking) The demon has a head start� we�ll never deal with him like this� we need speed. Suddenly he looks at his own hands, the shed on the boat, and the boat itself. Zap suddenly looks about him and grins, wider than seemingly possible. TWO MINUTES LATER ZAP: Mahogany! Zap runs over to Mahogany and tells him his plan. FOUR MINUTES LATER MAHOGANY: Take down every sail! Connect the ships with rope! As much as possible! Make rope bridges from boat to boat! Make sure they�re sturdy! Electro Koopas, you know what to do! The ships are a hive of activity as the Axem�s orders are followed. Just minutes later, two rope bridges connect the boats together. Each ship has yellow panels at the back, as well as stand with more yellow panels connecting to a wire connecting to a deftly fashioned motor, made of daggers and such. The middle ship had considerably more panels than the other. Zap gets on one of the floor panels. He touches the panel on the pedestal with his hands. The Electro Koopas do the same on the boat next to him. On he third panel on the third boat, stands Axem Thunder. ZAP: On the count of three, send all your electrical powers through your feet and hands. They all complied. Meanwhile, below the boat, the dagger motors started spinning at incredible speeds. The boats lurched forward. ZAP: 60 miles per hour, and still going! The boats skimmed over the water, the islands and water a blur of green and blue. ZAP: Entering Mach 1! The water fanned out behind them, making a crevice. ZAP: Mach 2! The engines whirred with power. ZAP: Mach 3! Blue, Wings, and Mahogany tried with all their might to steer the boats. ZAP: Top speed! Mach 4! The boats skimmed over the water. MAHOGANY: Slow down! Boats ahead! They looked back. Where they began was impossible to see. A huge demon stands on the ship. MAHOGANY: Our target. JK MAHOGANY: Same. MAHOGANY: Put up the sails. I have an idea. While they put up the sails, Zap puts the Electro Koopas to work installing funnel shaped things on the tops of the ships. JK MAHOGANY: What�re those for? ZAP: You shall see. Mahogany mentally tips the sails, so they point toward the ships. MAHOGANY: Zap, you, Thunder, and a few others go stand on those panels and propel these ships at 60 MPH. ZAP: Alright. Zap propelled the ship forward. When they�re right next to Xylan�s ships Mahogany yells to them. MAHOGANY: You�re finished! Xylan turns his head. XYLAN: Says who? As Mahogany speaks, the ships rise up, the sails held up by air. Mahogany orders the ship to be turned to face their ship. MAHOGANY: Says us. Sayonara, demons! Indigo and the other Jr. Koopas leap onto the ships, clobbering demons and freeing the slaves. Indigo telekinetically lifts them onto the ships. BLUE: Now! Zap and the Electro Koopas as well as some other Axems shoot their powers into the funnels, which come out in a huge beam. Zap steers the funnel to Xylan�s hull. A gaping hole sits there, now. ZAP: Hey demon! Ships take on water! Xylan growled and started swimming to an island. ZAP: Follow him! END OF EPISODE 14 Short, yes but I just wanted to get the scene set. Next episode there�s going to be action. :) [From a review by Axem Mercenary...] "Holy crap, do you realize that a boat traveling at Mach 4 is going 3,044.8282 miles per hour? That's 1,361.16 meters per SECOND!" |
