Time has passed now, and Titanic's bow is now starting to flood, going underwater. You don't have to much time now. You and Sunset run down the hallway as you're blocked by a sea full of people who are screaming to... someone.
"You can't keep us locked in here like animals, the ship's bloody sinking!" You hear a man yell. You look over the best you can and you see a gate that's locked, and a man guarding it from the outside. He unlocks the gate and only a few people escape from it, and a man with an ax hits the men by the head with the handle so it wont kill them.
"LOCK THE GATES!" He yells as the men locks the gates.
"FOR GOD'S SAKE MAN THERE ARE WOMEN AND CHILDREN DOWN HERE!" You hear one man yell from the top of his lungs. "AT LEAST YOU CAN GIVE US A CHANCE!"
He backs away from the gate and he sees you two.
"Excuse me." You said as you grabbed his attention. "What's going on?"
"I don't know, it's hopeless that way." He said as he pointed at the gate.
"You hear your name being called out. "Jason." You said as you hugged your friend. You met Jason on the boat deck on April 13th.
"The boats are all gone." He said to you and Sunset Shimmer.
"This whole place is flooding, we gotta get out of here!" You said to him. "Follow me, I think I know where to go. Come on Sunset!" You said as you grabbed her wrist while Jason, and the other guy follows you.
"By the way." You said as you grabbed the unknown guys attention. "What's your name?"
"Henry." He said as you two run down the hallway, you introduce yourself to him.
* * * * * *
After a few minutes of running, you're at another gate. Are you kidding me? Another locked gate? God employees on this ship are assholes aren't they?
"Listen, go back to the main stairwell, and everything will be alright."
You walk up. "Open the gate."
"Go back to the main stairwell."
"Open the gate right now!" You demanded.
"Go back down the main stairwell like I told you."
You turn around, then. "GOD DAMMIT! SON OF A BITCH!!" You yelled from the top of your lungs as you rattle at the gates.
"STOP THAT!" The man demands.
"That's it." You mumbled to yourself. You see a bench and you ran towards it to grab it. "Jason, Henry, Help me with this!" You said as they both helped you out, while Sunset brings everyone to the side.
"READY?" You yelled as the man behind the gate tells you to "PUT THAT DOWN!" But you don't listen.
"ONE, TWO, THREE!!" You yelled as you ram the bench to the gate. "AGAIN!!" You yelled. This time, the gate busts.
"COME ON, LETS GO!!" You yelled.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THAT'S WHITE STAR LINE PROPERTY!!" He yelled until you grabbed him.
"Not anymore." You said as you punched him. "Come on Sunset." You said as you grabbed her wrist and she follows you to go to the upper decks.
* * * * * *
1:35, AM.
You're outside on the boat deck. You see that people trying to get into the boats.
"WOMEN AND CHILDREN ONLY, DAMN YOU!" You hear a man.
"Okay," You said as you looked at Henry, and Jason. "Guys, good luck." You said you shook their hands.
"You too." They both said together. They go towards the lifeboats.
"Come on Sunset," You said as you grabbed her wrist. "Lets find us a boat so we can head home."
"Okay." She said as she followed you.
After a few minutes, you're now in the crowd full of people. Damn, how can you get to a boat with that many people? It's impossible. You're being pushed, and shoved as you still didn't let go of Sunset's hand.
"Hey, this way." Sunset said as she dragged you out of the sea of people.
"What." She points at one of the boats. Was Jason wrong about the boats or something? You look around the boat deck the best you can. As you see a boat being lowered into the water, that must be that last boat on this side of the ship if you're not mistaking.
"Come on." She said as she dragged you. As people are now squishing each other on the boat deck. You see two men come out of the captains cabin, or the steering room, maybe.
"Excuse me, children."
"How did you get out of there?" You ask the man. That's impossible, there's no way he could of made it out of E Deck alive when it's being flooded.
"Oh, it's simple." He said as he walked to you. "My friend an I are just here, waiting for a boat."
"That's right." He said.
"Where's the other one?" You ask when the other man's not with him.
"He didn't make it sadly."
'Something's not right.' You think to yourself. You could be telling that they may be lying when he was about to kill you on E Deck.
"Women and children only!" You hear a man said, he grabs Sunset Shimmer.
"Hey, what are you-"
"Come now miss, step this way."
"Sunset, NO!"
"Get back!" The man said as he pushed you back.
"You don't understand!" You said to him. "She's with me!"
"Get back!"
"WILL YOU JUST GIVE US A CHANCE TO LIVE YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!" You yelled at him.
"I SAID GET BACK GOD DAMN YOU!" He turns around. "Lower away!" He said as the boat then jerked down a little bit, and starts to lower. You look down to see Sunset Shimmer looking up at you with that sad look on her face.
"No." You whispered.
"Awe, sad little boy?" The man asked.
"What the hell are you talking about?" You said as you look up at him in anger.
"Oh, just... a little sad that she's leaving you." You didn't take your eyes off of him as he looks at you. "I always win."
"No you don't." You mumbled. "NO YOU FUCKING DON'T!" You roared when you punched him across the face. Payback bitch. You hear people screaming from below, you look down, you see Sunset jumping off the edge.
"Stop her!" You hear one man yell.
"SUNSET!" You ran down to where she jumped off. You meet her at the grand staircase.
"Sunset, oh thank god!" You said as you kiss her on the lips, peck by peck, as she returns them.
"I couldn't, I just couldn't." She said as she hugged you tight. "I can't go home without you."
As you hug her tight, you look up and you see the man with a gun in his hand from earlier.
"Oh shit, Come on, LETS GO!" You yelled as he fires one shot. You and Sunset ran as fast as you can. As he chases you both, he keeps fireing shot after shot. You remember James Cameron's "Titanic"? It looks like that, you remember seeing that movie back at home.
You start to walk through a flooded restaurant.
"Come on, this way. OH SHIT IT'S SO FUCKING COLD!!" You said as you and Sunset ran as fast as you can through the water. As you hear the last shot fire, you could hear. "I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR TIME TOGETHER ASSHOLES!!"
You and Sunset ran as fast as you can when you're now at another restaurant that's thankfully not filled with water. You both ran for your lives as you feel the ship getting steep like a hill.
"Come on, this way." You said as you opened the door. You're hoping that this leads to the outside. But you ran into Thomas Andrews who appears to be standing in front of a clock.
* * * * * *
2:00 AM.
"Mr. Andrews." You said as you grabbed his attention. "What are you doing?"
"I thought I would make the ship unsinkable, but I was... wrong." He said as you hear a loud groan through out the ship.
"It's moving fast." Sunset said as she grabbed your wrist. "We better get going."
"Wait," Said Mr. Andrews as he stops you two. He hands you both a life-jacket (Well... Life-Belt back in their day). "Good luck to you both."
"Thank you." You said as you handed Sunset one of them, you both put them on. You shook Mr. Andrews hand before you left him by himself. And that was the last time you ever saw him.
You and Sunset ran down the hallway as you open the door that leads to the outside. You must be at the stern section, correct? You look to where the front of the ship is, you can see that the first funnel has already collapsed.
"Oh damn." You said to yourself through screaming people. The boats must be all gone too this time.
"Come on, lets go!" Sunset said as she grabs you by the wrist and she pulls you as you follow her. You two grabbed the hand-railing and you climbed up as the ships stern starts to rise a bit faster.
"Come on, go, go, go!" You said as you and Sunset didn't stop climbing. You kept going.
The ships bridge section went underwater faster then you think as you looked back while you're still climbing.
* * * * * *
2:10 AM.
After climbing for what feels like forever, you two are now at the end of the ship, holding onto the railing for dear life.
"Sunset!" You said getting her attention while the lights went off, then back on. "What do we do?!"
"I don't know!" You look down where the bridge section would be. The second funnel is getting buried into the water while the stern remains up high in the air. After you see the second funnel disappear, you hear a loud groan from the ship, the lights quickly flickered. Then the go out completely.
It's pitch black, you can hardly see a thing.
"SUNSET!"
"I'M HERE!" She said as you felt her grab your hand. You can barely see her. But you know she's not leaving your si-
*CRACK*
*CRACK*
*CRACK*
What was that? You and Sunset stop dead at your tracks when you hear large cracking sounds, and you feel the stern of the ship start to jerk down with each crack.
"OH GOD, WHAT'S HAPPENING!?!" You yelled without thinking. You and Sunset look back to see sparks, flames, and the third funnel which is... moving? The ships breaking in half.
"HOLD ON!!" Sunset yells as she holds you hand tight. Then you feel the stern go down fast. 'HANG ON!" She yells st the top of her lungs when you hear a massive splash, and you jerked to the floor when the ship felt like it hit rock bottom.

After that, you feel the ship start to rise from the water. Oh shit, that must mean the bow's pulling the stern under.
"Come on!" You said as you climbed on the railing. Sunset climbs with you. "Take my hand, come on!" She grabs your hand as you try to pull her up when the ship's stern is going up faster then you can say.
Sunset's now on the railing with you as she's right beside you. Now the ship's stern is completely vertical as you and Sunset look down at the water, it's a long way down.
"Oh my god." She mumbled.
"Jesus Christ!" You said as groans, and creeks are heard, and people screaming from the top of their lungs. You checked your pocket to see if the watch is still there. Good, it's still in your pocket. If it drops to the water, you're screwed.
You look at Sunset Shimmer, as she looks at you. She takes your hand and she smiles at you. You smile back, letting each other know that everything's going to be okay.
Okay Huh? You hear a loud noise when you feel the stern going down.
"THIS IS IT!" You said as Sunset now feels terrified.
"DON'T LET GO!" Sunset said as she held your hand tight.
"I WON'T, TRUST ME!" You said as water splashing sounds, and screaming people fill your ears. The water gets closer and closer as you hold Sunsets hand tight as she did the same.
"READY SUNSET!?!?" You said as she nods her head. "HOLD YOUR BREATH... NOW!" You yelled.
2:20 AM.
The ship's now headed to the bottom of the ocean, you can see it disappear in the abyss as a very loud groan is heard through out the water. Sunset still has a hold of your hand as you two are still underwater. All of a sudden you slipped out of her hand and it feels like you're being dragged under. Probably the current the ship made when it went underwater. You can see her start to disappear as you're being dragged under what it feels like.
After a second or two, the little current dies down and you're now headed up to the surface. Catching for breath, you see Sunset Shimmer.
She calls you out by your name. "Thank God!"
"Swim Sunset, I need you to swim!" You both swim to some sort of object that's floating in the water. Good, it's big enough for the both of you. You both climbed on it as best you could, and now you both are barley out of the water when you feel tiny waves hit your arms, hearing people cry out for help, and using whistles.
"Oh god." Sunset said as she's shivering. You checked your pocket again, the watch is still in your pocket, your surprised it hasn't fallen out yet.
"Now what?" Sunset asked you.
"Only one boat's gonna come back for us."
"Are we gonna survive?"
You take her hand that's freezing.
"We will." You said with a smile as you and her shiver. "We're out of the water, so we should be fine. I hope. Their gonna get the boats organized, I hate to say this... but w-we have to w-wait for that o-o-one b-b-boat." You said in between shivers.
