One system failed after another, slowing the damaged craft to a crawl.

“Useless!”

Inside, an Ardelonian pounded the floor and howled in despair, tears streaming down his face.

They sent seven craft into battle. One was wrecked in the collision with the submarine, and the other six were dragged into the vortex and torn apart.

Those vessels were the backbone of Ardelon’s fighting force. Now almost nothing remained, all because of those people and their mysterious power.

He clung to the need to survive and report what happened. If his people could seize that power, they could rebuild their country in no time.

Then Ardelon would rule the world, and every other nation would answer to it.

Consumed by those grand ambitions, he failed to notice the enormous shadow bearing down on the battered craft until it struck. The damaged vessel stood no chance. The impact knocked it clear of the water before it crashed back down.

Watching from a distance, Nicole stared in disbelief.

Blue suddenly appeared out of nowhere and ruined their plan. [10

They needed that vessel to lead them to the Ardelonian base.

The normally gentle whale attacked with startling ferocity, knocking the craft around as though it were a battered toy. She rammed it again and again, her furious cries echoing through the water as she vented all her grief and rage.

Blue recognized the craft. It was the one that killed her baby. 1

Under her relentless assault, the hull buckled and split apart. Ardelonians spilled from the wreckage and struggled toward the surface.

But Blue’s cries also drew sharks.

They swarmed the survivors, snapping up the easy prey. One tore off an arm while another seized a leg.

There wasn’t enough for all of them. Some turned on each other, fighting over what remained.

Blood clouded the water. Within moments, none of the Ardelonians remained.

Then Blue spotted her favorite scratching post. She swam straight over and nudged the submarine with her head.

Nicole stared helplessly. Their plan was ruined, but she couldn’t bring herself to be angry.

There was little she could do about a whale that dominated these waters anyway. Blue was only avenging her

not trying to cause them trouble.

Still, Nicole’s only lead was gone. The Ardelonian base was somewhere in this vast ocean, and she had no idea where to start looking.

Their pursuers couldn’t have stumbled across them and decided to give chase on a whim. That kind of relentless pursuit suggested a planned operation to capture them.

And if the first attempt failed, the Ardelonians would try again.

They knew how to find Nicole, while she knew almost nothing about them. She refused to spend the rest of her life waiting for an enemy she couldn’t see to strike.

But with their only lead destroyed, finding the base would take some luck.

She and Zeph agreed to keep heading in the direction the damaged craft was traveling. Perhaps it would lead them somewhere.

They got the submarine moving again. To their surprise, Blue followed, keeping pace with ease.

Without sophisticated detection equipment, they needed to surface every so often and scan the surrounding

waters.

They focused their search on areas with relatively calm currents and few underwater obstacles, the most likely places to build a base.

Blue surfaced alongside them and slowly drew closer.

She remembered Nicole and Zeph removing the harpoon. All her earlier fury was gone as she circled the submarine and blew a plume of mist into the air.
