Once the noise subsides we can hear similar, albeit fainter, explosions throughout the ship. In response to the explosions a low, wailing alarm starts.
"What's that?" asks Riolu.
"The engineers made it so that if that panel is destroyed or tampered with without proper permissions. It will start to slowly destroy the ship, and the alarm is to tell the crew to abandon ship," explains Zekrom.
"How do you know so much about this frigate?" I ask.
"You can't expect me to be locked up for so long without getting to know as much as possible about who is holding me.
"We need to get to the control room as quickly as possible, as well as getting all the captive pokemon to safety," I say almost running to the place where the captured pokemon are being held. Once I get to the control station of the prison block I release all the captives and have Sira, Keldeo, and the rest of the team guide Zekrom and the wild pokemon to the bow of the ship, as far as possible from the reactor room. While I stay behind and search for stragglers. As I make my first round I notice a very attractive Ninetails that doesn't seem to want to leave her cell.
"Hey you got to head towards the bow with the rest," I say quickly but the stubborn fire-type does not even budge. "If you stay back here then you will most likely die when the reactor goes critical."
"Maybe I want to die," she states simply.
"The beauty speaks at last," I say sarcastically before continuing, "Nobody wants to die just listen to me and your chances of survival will increase."
"I do not follow the orders of people like you. I make my own choices."
"Well those choices are going to get you killed."
"Not my problem."
"Well actually it is your problem. Now come with me or I will make you."
She remains silent with her back to me.
"Okay then you leave me with no other choice," I say using my vines to grab her by one of her many tails and literally dragging her out of the cell, with her protesting all the way to the room where all the others are. Before she can say anything Keldeo and Riolu move to block the door and watch the others. Once I make sure everything is good I head to the command room where I find Sira working feverishly at the engineering console.
Noticing me she turns and says, "I managed to shut down the self-destruct sequence but the damage already done has sent the frigate on an uncontrolled descent into the atmosphere."
"Where do you predict we will land?" I ask.
"It's too early to tell for sure, but I would say that we will land somewhere in Unova."
"Okay good, extend all flaps and drag fins."
"Sir?"
"We are going to land this thing."
"Yes sir."
"Can we still use the maneuvering thrusters?"
"The rear thrusters are lagging a little but we can still use them. Why did you ask?"
"Because I am going to use them to keep us level. Tell me when we enter the mesosphere.".
A few minutes later Sira says, "We are entering the mesosphere."
"What did we lose?" I ask as I hear a loud creaking sound followed by a shudder.
"Nothing important just the atmospheric drag tearing off some hull plating."
"Make sure the place where we are keeping the wild pokemon stays intact."
"That might be difficult considering we just entered a lot of turbulance." Just then a loud snapping of metal precedes a rather violent lurch of acceleration.
"What did we lose now?" I ask.
"The ship just fractured across the mid-line of the ship. In other words we just lost the entire rear half of the ship."
