One Torpedo
Chapter 8
Previous ChapterThe boat's into the water finally. And you and Sunset just looked at each other when you see people trying to stay above the water. And as you look around, you also noticed that a couple more boats were lowered. And you looked up, and see another boat that's already taking in some people. And you look to the ship, and noticed that the bow must be under. This ship is sinking faster than you thought. You can't help but gulp, and just waiting for something to happen.
You look up to the boat-deck of the ship. And you noticed that you see a woman who must of hit her head on the boat, and is now falling to the water. You look back to where the bow would be, and the bridge is going down quick. Sunset grabs your hand and she helds it tightly when she's sitting right next to you. She must be scared.
"Save me!" You hear a woman as if it sounds like she's trying her very best to stay above water. "I'll give this money to someone who can... save me!" She said when she's trying to stay afloat. What's she holding?
"I'll save you, miss!" You hear a man that's sitting right beside you.
"What are you doing?!" You asked.
"What's it look like kid, I'm saving this woman!"
"You're saving her because of money? You asshole! You're gonna flip the damn boat!" You said when the side of the boat's getting closer and closer to the water, and you see water enter the boat. You sat up quickly to grab the man.
"You goddamn fool!" You said. But it's too late, the boat is now tipping over and that leaves you and Sunset in the freezing Atlantic waters.
"Oh shit!" Sunset yells through the screams from everyone. "Just like last time on the Titanic!"
"It'll be okay, Sunset!" You said as you try to calm her down, and trying to stay as calm as possible when you swim to her. "I promise." As you said that, a really loud groan is heard from the ship. You look to the side and noticed that the bridge is now going under.

This is the most horrifying thing that you have ever seen in your entire life. It's far much worse than the Titanic, you know that for sure. You see an object that's floating next to both you, and Sunset. You grabbed onto it and grabbed Sunset's attention so she can grab onto it as well.
Hearing nothing but people screaming, and the ship making scary noises as it sinks is making you think that you'll defiantly kill Applejack when you get back home. But could it been an accident that you were brought here? Could Applejack might of brought you here by accident? You don't know, you're just freezing in the waters right now.
Until no time later has passed, and you felt Sunset tap you on the shoulder when the ship makes one long, and final groan. You see that the stern's just above the water, and is going down quickly. Until about a few seconds of the stern going down like you dropped your cell phone in the pool. You and Sunset just watched in horror when the ship disappears into the wavy waters and air bubbles just making their way to the surface.

Mean while, back at U-20.
The caption of the U-20 watches the ship sink through his scope, as he saw the Lusitania sink through his scope, he slowly brings his head back.
"That's it." He said to one of his crew members when he faces to him, he shows him the time. "Just "18 Minutes""
The crew member takes his pocket watch into his pocket, and he speaks to the caption of the U-20 "The rescue boats will be here soon... And the warships."
"Yes." The caption said as there was a small silence, then he sets up the scope. "Set our course for home!"
"Eye sir!" Said one of the crew members.

Back where the Lusitania sunk.
You and Sunset just looked at each other when you have to wait four hours for help to arrive. Just sitting there holding onto an object, and just shivering.
"I'm g-gonna kill Applejack when we g-g-get home." Sunset said through shivers.
"T-T-Tell me about it." You said. "I'm gonna strangle her." As you both went silent for a minute when you hear people shivering and what not. You felt a hand grabbed onto yours. You look to your side, and noticed that it's Sunset's hand. And she's smiling at you. You just smile back right at her, letting each other know that everything's going to be okay.

Mean while back in London.
A man is running to his bosses office with a folder in his hand. He opens his bosses door when he's having a meeting.
"John? What the hell do you want?" The boss said.
"The Lusitania has been sunk, sir. Eleven miles off the Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse!"
"Sunk?"
"Torpedo sir! She went down in less than 20 minutes!"
"Impossible!" The boss said as his face turns into shock. "Excuse me gentlemen." He said as he's walking out with his employee.
"It sys it here, sir. The said they did the job with just "One Torpedo!"" Said John as he hands him the paper.
"One torpedo?"
"Yes sir."
"And you said she sank in 20 minutes?"
"Less than 20 minutes, sir." John's boss walks to his window.
"God DAMMIT!" He said as he turned around and faced his employee. "Her cargo must of exploded. Listen here, I want every U-Boat message from this past week in my office as soon as you can, John." He said as he handed him the papers.
"Yes sir." John said as he walked off and hurried down the hall.

Later that evening. 9:00 PM.
You and Sunset are now at the harbor where the Lusitania was suppose to be headed. But the ship didn't make it unfortunately. You see dead bodies being lined up from the ship. You have no idea how many there were found, and you probably don't want to know. But you do know that the rest were lost at sea also. You and Sunset held hands as you walked along and looked at the bodies that didn't make it either from the cold water, or from the ship before it sank all-the-way.
You also see the Caption Turner survived the sinking. Wait, shouldn't he go down with the ship? You and Sunset looked at each other.
"Hey." Sunset said getting your attention.
"Yeah?"
"You still got that watch?"
"Yeah. Got it right here." You said as you pulled it out of your pocket, and showed it to her.
"Good. Come on. Let's see if it'll work this time. I really want to get out of here."
"That makes two of us." You said as you look around, and see the sorrow on everyone's faces as their loved ones, and so on has passed. "Lets go." You said as the two of you hide behind a building. You set the time to the right date. Exactly when you left.
"Ready?" You asked her. Sunset Shimmer takes a deep breath and looks at you. She must be scared, and she nods her head. "*Deep breath* Here we go." You said as you clicked the button. And all of a sudden, you both start to see a really bright light that's just at your eyes as you both are still holding hands. It must be working, right?

May 2nd, 2015.
"Oh shit!" Rainbow said as she starts to panic. "This is bad! What the hell did you do, Applejack!?"
"Ah didn't do nuthin', Rainbow Dash!"
"Well you did something! You probably killed them!" Said Rainbow Dash as she points to the black spot on the floor.
"What, you think that we're dead?" Sunset's voice comes from nowhere. Both Rainbow Dash and Applejack look to where her voice came from, and they see you both un-harmed and looks like you both are pissed off.
"Oh my god!" Rainbow Dash said as she sees you both. "How are you two still alive?"
"Oh thank god you both are okay!" Applejack said as Sunset Shimmer slowly walks to her. "We thought you two were dead from what ha-" Applejack didn't finish her sentence as Sunset takes a swing to her face, knocking Applejack to the floor. Rainbow Dash catches her when Applejack winces a little.
"What the fuck did you do?!?" Rainbow Dash asked in a pissed off tone.
"Hey. Ah didn't do nuthin'. What did ah do?"
"That's for not being careful, jackass!" Sunset said as she's in a really pissed off mood. Same with you.
"What are you talkin' 'bout? And what was that watch?" Applejack asked you both as blood forms from her face where Sunset punched her.
"Tell nobody about this! It's a time-travel watch!" Sunset said as she pulled the watch out of your pocket, and she showed it to Applejack.
"A... A time-travel watch?" Applejack said when Rainbow's face is just distracted by it.
"Whoa. Is it real?"
"Yeah." You said to her. "How did you think that we disappeared?"
"Where did you two go?"
"You don't wanna know." Sunset said as she puts the watch in her pocket.
"Anyways. Ah'm goin' home. Ah'm gettin' this cut cleaned up."
"Right behind you AJ/" Rainbow said when AJ gets up and walks out the door. Rainbow looks at you both with a sad expression on her face. "We're sorry, okay? Just... don't get pissed at us when we do something by accident." She said when she walked out the door.
After a few minutes. You put the watch back in it's safe place where you been putting it after the Titanic disaster. Sunset Shimmer sits beside you and is now holding your hand.
"I can't believe how bad it was." Sunset said to you. "Was there two torpedoes? I heard another bang when I was eating."
"I don't know." You said to her.
"What do you mean you don't know? You was up there!"
"True. But I only saw one. After it hit the ship I was worried about you. So I ran to you, and the next thing that I know. There was another bang. It could of been from the cargo or something."
"Yeah, true." Sunset said as she looks at the watch where it's now sitting. "So what are we gonna do with the damn thing?"
"I don't know. It's to dangerous to time-travel." As you said that, something hits you in your mind. You face her.
"What?"
"Should we destroy it?" You asked as Sunsets face went to shock. "It's the only option we have. It's just... to dangerous." YOu said as you look back at the watch, then to Sunset Shimmer.
It's true. it can be very, very dangerous to travel through time, and through space. So that might be the only option you have, is to destroy the damn device, or just be stuck with it when something bad happens to it. Because you'll never know when something bad happens, it can change the time-line. Until you go back further to fix it. What are you going to do?
Author's Note
Hey guys. That's it for this story. I finally have it done. Sorry if I was feeling a little bit rushed while writing this. I'll go back and update it ASAP cause I wanted this posted before "May 7th" hits cause that marks the 100th Anniversary of the "Sinking of the Lusitania."
I hope you all enjoyed this story. I'll see what other stuff I can come up with when Sunset's still using that damn time-travel watch.
But there is one question I wanted to ask. If you could go back in time for real. Where would you go? And why? ![]()
