Chapter Nine: Out In The Ocean On A Sinking Ship

The boat sped out of control towards Stampy and Sqaishey.

"Lee, what's going on?" Squid panicked.

Lee began writing down a sign. Squid sighed and turned around.

"Ash, what's going on?" Squid panicked.

"The waves are too strong! The boat's going outta control!" Ash replied at the same level of panic.

Squid ran to the front of the ship.

He looked down in udder shock. "Is that you Stamps!? Weren't ya in the ship!? And why are ya hanging onto a duck?"

"Yes it's me, no I'm not, and I'll tell you later," Stampy shouted back answering each question individually.

"Could you by chance stop the ship?" Sqaishey asked as nice as a little ducky could.

"We would if we could," Squid yelled back. "The waves are too strong for us to control the ship."

Just then, Ash was heard screaming like a pirate and a cannon ball shot out of the side of the ship and destroying a wall of rock dividing the ocean from the clearing/lake.

"Um Ash…" Squid said slowly. "What are ya 'doin?"

Ash smiled. "Just saving them," he replied. "Just watch and see."

Just as Ash planed, Stampy and Squaishey were pulled out into the ocean from the change in current. The boat on the other hand, was too top-heavy to get sucked out.

"Ash," Squid yelled. "What d' ya think you're doing?"

"Well sorry for saving you're best friend's life!" Ash shouted.

They began having an argument and were unable to notice that the current was attempting to pull the U.S.S. Stumpy out also. Lee had to take drastic measures. (Cue intense music) he ran into the ship's magazine and began collecting everything explosive he could find. He had to be fast. The ship was about to crash. Lee rushed back up to the top, lit the piles of TNT, and kicked them off the boat just as they were about to smash into the last bit of land that was left. The TNT blew up mid-air and with the force, blasted the boat in the opposite direction.

(Star Trek much?)

Squid and Ash fell off their feet as the boat rocked this way and that.

"Um, Lee?" Squid called out for his bear friend. "Please tell me that wasn't you."

Lee came running to Squid with hundreds of people behind him.

"The boat is sinking!" they screamed.

Squid gulped.

Ash gulped.

Lee wrote down a sign that said *Gulp*.

"Great," Squid said. "We're out in the ocean in a sinking ship."

"Not to mention with all the citizens of Galaxy City," Ash added. "Including parents and children."

Squid sighed. "Thanks for cheerin' me up mate…"

"Hang on," Ash began. "If the sails still work…"

At that moment, lightning struck the sails.

Ash gulped. "Never mind…"

"So we're all gonna die huh?" Squid said sadly.

Ash sighed. "Looks like it…"

Just then, an angry woman walked up to Squid Ash and Lee.

"Are you responsible for this?" she yelled in Squid's face.

"What? No!" Squid protested. "If ya had a TV, then-"

"I DO have a TV!" she yelled. " For the love of fiddle sticks! I OWN Galaxy City!"

"Correction," Squid said. "You used to own Galaxy city."

Elaine turned around and stormed off.

"What was that all about?" Ash asked.

Squid shrugged. "I have no idea…"
