Author's Note
Hello everyone. I know, it's been a while since I uploaded a story. Mainly it's because I've been depressed for a while, and I couldn't think of anything to write about. However, it wasn't until I saw the movie 'Deep Blue Sea' for the first time since 2011.
It inspired me to write the Equestria Girls version of the movie. Except it's about Applejack and Anonymous character.
I've been working on this story for a few weeks, and I'm proud that it's finally done. I hope everypony enjoys it. Well... here it goes.
P.S. The story's been updated. 4-11-16.
Part 1
Four hundred million years of life as people say how long sharks have been roaming the Earth. There were some weird looking ones that use to roam our planet. Some big, some small. Some fast, and some slow.
Sightings of shark teeth in various sizes scattered through out the ocean floor. And beaches that use to be under water millions of years ago.
Some sharks we know today has survive the extinction. While the rest of the sharks have cease to exist. Maybe died from a massive meteorite. Or perhaps starved off when they couldn't find any food to hunt in the deep dark depths of the ocean.
There have been rumors about sharks over the past many years. How they attack people, and what their favorite meal is.
Over the past one hundred years. There have been a lot of reports of shark attacks on humans off the cost of Canterlot Harbor. People would say they were caused by bull sharks, tiger sharks, or perhaps some other species of shark.
However, eye witnesses reclaimed it to be great white sharks that causes the attacks across Equestria. Killing more than one hundred people per year.
You would hear people all over Equestria saying sharks like to eat people. While others will say a true fact about not liking the taste of us humans very much. At least that's what scientists think.
***
Thirty boring minutes in the boat ride. You’re just sitting there resting your head on your fist with your friend Applejack right beside you. You seriously can’t believe that your dad has talked you into this. Staying at some kind of laboratory where your dad’s friend and some other people study oceanic species. Including sharks.
“You alright?” Applejack asks as she sits beside you. She places her hand on your shoulder. You let out a boring sigh. When the boat’s motor is just rattling your ears. Lucky for you, you’re not on a fancy speed boat. You’re in one of those boats that holds more people.
“Yeah. It’s… Just gonna be a very boring trip.” You said to her.
“What’s gonna be so boring about it, sugarcube?” Applejack asks.
“We’re gonna be staying there for a few days. Not to mention looking at different species of fish. I think it’s the most boring thing in the whole world.” You said as you rested your head back on your fist. Letting the afternoon breeze cool you down in this boat ride.
“Cheer up, champ.” You hear Thunderbolt say. “We’re almost there.”
You didn’t want to believe him. But you sat up and you look straight ahead. You can see in the distance as far as the eye could see.
“Is that an oil rig?” You asked.
“No.” Thunderbolt said. “It’s our laboratory. This is where we study oceanic species.”
“Oh great.” You sarcastically groan as you sit back down. “How did Big Mac talk you into this?” You asked Applejack. She sits down beside you as she lets out a sigh.
“Well, your dad said you can tag along a friend. So, he decided that he would like me to go with you. We are best friends, right?” She said as she punches you playfully.
“Yeah.” You said as you put on a small smile. But that doesn’t last for a second as it fades away.
“Aw, cheer up, sugarcube.” Applejack said as she places an arm around you. “It’ll be fun.”
“Yeah, I bet.” Now it feels like you’re starting to get a small attitude with her. But, you tried your best to play it cool until you get there.
***
Finally, the boat is now docked as you, Applejack, and Thunderbolt step off the boat. As the three of you keep walking on the dock, you notice that a woman is approaching. She has a white scientist jacket, same as Thunderbolt’s.
“Ah, glad you made it, Thunderbolt.” She said as she greets him. “Are these two the guests who will be staying here?”
“Yup.” He cheerfully claims while introducing the both of you.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you both. I’m Elite Eclipse. I’m the biologist.”
“Nice to meet you.” Applejack said as she shook her hand. Elite walks to you.
“It’s nice to meet you.” You say to her putting on a smile, while trying to fake enthusiasm as you shake her hand.
“Excellent.” She said with a smile. “Let Thunderbolt and I show you around.” You and Aj shrugged as you both follow them. Your eyes scan the place as if there’s really nothing much. With your bags on your shoulders and walking behind the two strangers as you wish to call one of them.
“I dunno.” You hear Applejack said. “It doesn’t look too bad.”
“It looks like there’s not much.” You said as if that’s your opinion.
“Oh, wait until you see the inside.” You hear Elite say. You growled a little as if you’re thinking she’s correcting you.
You approach a fenced gate as Elite opens it. Thunderbolt closes it behind you as you all continued walking. You’re just looking forward, minding your own business. As Applejack’s face turns into… Not horror, not amazement. But, something else. She taps you on the shoulder.
“Look.” She said pointing to your right.
You looked to where Applejack’s pointing. You noticed that a shark is being carried on a lift. Except this shark is… Ten, fifteen feet? You stop to watch as the shark is being slowly lowered into the water. You can also hear two people chatting as the shark thrashes around a bit. That has to be a great white by your books.
“What do you think, man?! He’s beautiful!”
“I say he is! How big is he?”
“Fifteen feet! He’s just a baby, man!”
“I see! Alright, let’s put him to his new home, ay?”
“You got it boss!”
They lowered the shark into the water. It thrashes and splashes the water all over the place as it finally moves out of the lift. One of the guys starts speaking again.
“Alright, I’ll be right back! I’m gonna go change to see if this bad boy’s got anything good!”
“Alright, homie!”
You see him coming your way. He greets you and Applejack as he stops and talks to Thunderbolt.
“Hey, are those the two that you said they’re visiting for a few days?”
“Yeah man.” Thunderbolt says. “Their parents said they’re cool with it.”
“Alright.” He said as he looks at the both of you. Then back at Thunderbolt. “Keep an eye on them, alright?”
“You got it.” Thunderbolt said as the guy walked away.
“Who was that?” You asked.
“That’s Draft Down.” Thunderbolt said. “He’s the shark expert.
“Uh, shark expert?” Applejack asked lifting an eyebrow.
“You’ll see what I mean.” Thunderbolt said as he looks into the water where they lowered the shark.
“Wait a second.” You said. “You’re telling me… he’s gonna be swimming with that shark?”
“Yeah.” Thunderbolt said as he places his arms on the railing. Elite does the same.
“He’s the only shark expert around here. He knows how to work with them.” She says.
“Heh, just like Fluttershy.” Applejack jokes.
“That guy’s crazy.” You said
“You think I’m crazy?” Draft Down said as he comes out with his swimming trunks. “Watch this.” He puts on his flip flops and his swimming mask on as he slowly walks over to the edge and jumps right in.
“HEY!” You screamed. But Thunderbolt stops you.
“Relax. He knows what he’s doing.” He says. You calmed down a little as you watch him swim. You look to the left as the shark begins to swim around with its dorsal fin out of the water.
Until the shark finally charges at him. You and Applejack start to feel nervous that the shark might take a bite out of him. But thankfully, you thought wrong. The shark swims past him as Draft Down grabs a hold of the shark. You can just see him reach for something in the shark’s mouth.
He finally lets go of the shark as he starts to swim to the closes ladder. You and Applejack run to him as Draft Down tosses a piece of trash on the dock.
“What was that?” You asked.
“That was something I learned. Pretty amazing, right?” He asked you.
“So… He never took a bite out of you?” Applejack asked.
“Eh, they don’t really like the taste of us very much.” Draft Down said as he climbs up the ladder. “They’ll bite ya. But, they’ll probably think you’re a big, fat seal.” He joked. You look back into the water as you see the shark just swimming around as it normally would.
“Never knew that.” You said, looking at him.
“Yeah.” He sits down as he take off his flippers. “So who are you two? Never seen a couple of teenagers here before.”
You introduce yourself. “And this is Applejack. My dad wanted me to stay here for a few days with a friend.”
“Oh yeah, Thunderbolt told us that before.” He said grabbing his flippers while slowly standing up. “He never stopped talking about it for two weeks. That bastard hardly ever shuts up.” He jokingly groaned with a smile.
“Hey!” You hear Thunderbolt.
With a chuckle he flinched his shoulders as he waved his flippers, “Relax man, I’m just teasing!”
“So… Is that the only shark ya’ll have?” Applejack asks.
“Oh, he’s just nothing. This next one’s back this way.” Elite says as you and Applejack follow her. She opens the gate that wasn’t too far away. However, it might be right next to the tank that fifteen footer’s in.
“Behold. The record breaking thirty foot female great white shark.” Elite says as you see the giant shadow of a shark swim by.
“Whoa.” You and Applejack said together.
“Indeed. We found her outside this place. So… to study how big she got, we decided to just let her stay here for a while.” Elite says as she looks at the both of you. You gave her the look of what looks like freight.
“You’re crazy. How can you keep a shark that big here?” You ask. Elite doesn’t respond. Does she think your question might be that stupid? You walk away from this as if nothing happened.
“Don’t mind him.” Said Applejack. “He’s, uh…Not really in for this.”
“Gotcha.” Elite says as her and Aj went back to you and Thunderbolt.
“So, why don’t we show you your room where you both will be staying at?” Elite asks.
“Sounds great!” Applejack replies. You just stay silent most of the time.
***
“Here you are.” Thunderbolt says as you and Applejack walk in your room. It’s not that small. It’s just not like your ordinary room at your house. “Let us know if you need anything.”
“Thanks Thunderbolt.” Applejack said as Thunderbolt shuts the door. You set your stuff down on the bed and sit on it.
You look out the window and take a good underwater view. You can just see that fifteen foot great white shark swim around. While the thirty footer is just swimming around as well. Like those two sharks don’t really bother each other. Scary, but beautiful at the same time.
“What do you think?” Applejack said as she sets her bag down on the bed and looks out the window. You take your eyes off the window to look at her for a second.
“It’s… Actually not that bad, I guess.” You said as you look back out the window.
“I know. I mean, keeping a shark that big here? I wonder how they even feed that thing.” Applejack says as she rests her head on her fists while looking out the window.
“Eh, who knows. Maybe they feed it some type of meat like most sharks eat in the open ocean.” You guess in a nonchalant tone without a care in the world.
“Come on now.” Applejack chuckles nudging you. “Can’t you just give it a try? It’ll only be a few days. Then you won’t have to worry about this place anymore. Please?” She said as she makes that puppy dog face.
“Dammit Aj. Not that face. Please, not the face.” You beg forcing yourself to look away only to lose in a fight against yourself and look back at her again. She’s still doing that face. “Ugh! Fine!”
Applejack hugs you as you groan having given into her once again, with grumpy looking face you ponder if she’s really a pony or some temptress who knows how to play you like a fiddle.
“Thanks.” She said as she finishes the sentence with your name. “You’re a real pal.”
You grunted looking around seeing the playful taunts of the other stallions around you, while Applejack still holds you she is unaware of one stallion whose started hinting on how the two of you should kiss. His hand was cupped as though holding the back of somepony’s head as he passionately made out with a nonexistent pair of lips.
His actions made you made you feel awkward as you thought to yourself, ‘I wish I was at home right now.’
***
Hours pass as you and Applejack wander around the complex after your little tour, before too long the two of you find yourselves out upon the dock. It was now feeding time for the sharks, a small thing you and Aj wanted to see. Though some areas of the complex were well lit (more specifically around the shark tanks), the two of you could see the moon had slowly started to rise into the night sky surrounded by countless twinkling stars.
You stood at a bridge that’s just twenty feet above the water. Looking down you see a dorsal fin move across the water. Applejack stands right beside you as her arms rest on the railing just like you are.
“Hey, are you two gonna stand up there all night, or are you gonna watch the sharks tear up something?” Thunderbolt said jokingly to you both. You and Aj looked at each other and shrugged as you both walked down to the level to where you can see the sharks.
“Alright. Elite, shine the light!” Thunderbolt called out. Elite shines the light at the two deadly predators. “Feeding time.” Thunderbolt said mumbly. He gets to a control system that’s right next to the lift. On the lift, there are two seals thrashing on the lift.
“Where did they get those seals?” You asked yourself.
“I dunno.” Applejack shrugged as you both watch the seals get lowered.
“You two hungry?” Thunderbolt rhetorically asked the sharks.
The seals finally reach the water as they start swimming around for a bit. The two sharks start charging at the seals as one of them tries to reach the dock where you’re standing. As the giant thirty foot female grabs it, and thrashes around violently tearing into the seal. Splashing water all over the place you all watch as the water turns slightly crimson in color, slowly thinning out into a faint pink as bits and chunks of flesh began to float in the water. Before either Applejack or you knew what was going on the fifteen footer grabbed hold of the other one, and thrashes it around as the other had before it.
As he was done with that seal, he moved toward the thirty footer. The giant beast is still thrashing the seal around violently. Blood splashing on the dock as the fifteen foot shark comes in, bites the other half of the seal as the seal is finally split into two. The sharks swim away with their meals as they swallowed them whole.
“Goddamn.” You said as Applejack on the other hand looks like she’s frightened. “You alright?” You asked.
“Yeah. That was… Really somethin’.” She said.
“That’s how they feed.” Thunderbolt said as he approached you two. “Anyways, you two hungry?”
After watching that you question if you could really eat anything, “Sure, I guess we can have a little something to eat.” You said as you looked at the sharks pondering if watching them tear up those seals caused a faint want to eat, “If we don’t watch the sharks eat something.”
“Good call.” Applejack agreed.
A few minutes pass as you’re all eating at the table. Fresh food for everyone as they all chit-chat about today. You on the other hand haven’t said a word since you and Aj sat down.
“What’s wrong, sugarcube? Not like your pizza?” Applejack ask as she takes a bite out of her apple.
“No. It’s just that… I don’t know what it is.” You said as you stare at your pizza. You lift it up with your hands and you take a bite out of your slice. “Huh, nat bad.” You begin to eat the entire sire slice as Applejack speaks again.
“Is it about the trip?”
You soon finished your slice as you looked at her. “Well… It kinda is. I’m still not sure why my dad wanted me to go. I mean, seriously. Why though? I don’t get it.”
“He wanted you to have a good time.” Thunderbolt chimes in sparking a baffled look out of you and Aj as the two of you look at him. “Sorry to get in your conversation. But, didn’t your dad tell you that he wanted you to have a good time?” He asked you.
“He did. But I still don’t know why.” You said as you take a slurp of your soda.
“Because your dad loves you. No matter what.” Thunderbolt said. You set your cup down and you just gave him that look. Not anger, not sadness. But, just a blank expression.
“Okay.” Was all you can really say unsure as to how to respond.
“How are you holding up?” Said a lady behind you. It wasn’t Elite, that’s for sure. You turned around as you see a woman in the same white jacket as everyone else is wearing.
“Um… Okay?” You said.
“Everything’s great!” Applejack said. The lady sat down next to you.
“Is everything alright?” She asks you.
“Oh, this is Alaina. She’s the main one who studies the sharks around here.” Thunderbolt says as he introduces you and Aj to her.
Alaina giggles a bit. “Thanks Thunderbolt. But, I prefer introducing myself to people next time.”
“Whatever you say.” Thunderbolt says as he just sits there. You come in to talk to Alaina about your trip.
“Well… I’m not sure. I wasn’t really planning for this trip my dad had for me. I mean, studying stuff like sharks, whales, or dolphins? Is it all we came here for? Or, is it just to get even more boring than it was?” You faced Alaina as you gave her a look of what looks like you’re a bit mad.
Alaina takes a deep breath as she looks at you.
“Listen, I’m not too sure what to tell you. But, if your dad wanted you to come here, he wanted you to have fun. Maybe… Learn a few things here and there.”
“Yeah, maybe learn about really boring stuff.” You said as you got up and you start walking back to the room.
“Sorry about that. I’ll go talk to him.” Applejack said as she gets up and walks towards your way.
Waiting on an elevator you stood there pondering the exact reason, sure to have fun and possibly learn something but why exactly? As you thought more and more about it your mind shifted back to the conversation only a moment ago, you did feel bad at what you just said back there. But, you’re just not feeling it today.
“Hey!” Applejack said as she calls out for you. You look back a bit as you can see her coming down the hallway. “What was that all about?” She asks.
“I’m sorry Applejack.” You said as the elevator door opens. “I just can’t understand about why I’m really here.”
“Sugarcube, listen.” She said as she gets in the elevator with you. “It doesn’t matter what your dad wants you to do. He loves you no matter what. He sent you here to have some fun time. Maybe to get away from the house for a while. I dunno. Don’t you remember what I told you earlier?”
You just look at her as the elevator hasn’t moved once. You just want to press that button to go back to your room and just lay in the bed. But, Applejack’s little speech is starting to hit you.
“Yeah… I do.” You said as you looked away from her.
“Just try to have fun this one time. Please?” Applejack said to you. You take a deep sigh and you nod your head.
“I’ll try.” You said quietly mostly hoping she doesn’t give you those puppy dog eyes again.
“There’s no need to get mad at your dad for this, sugarcube. You shouldn’t be mad. Just lighten up. Maybe… Think about Pinkie’s jokes or somethin’. I hate to see you like this.” She said as she lifts your head up for you to look at her. “But at least you’re agreeing to this. Aren’t you?”
“Yeah. I’ll try to act up this time.” You said to her. Aj nods her head as you follow her to the outside. Everyone’s already chit-chatting again.
You start to walk to the table a pensive expression upon your face. Just walking slowly with Aj keeping close behind you.
“God dammit, Matt! You just had to, didn’t you?!” You hear Thunderbolt say jokingly as everyone starts to laugh.
“Hey, come on, man. At least you can’t say I did.” Matt said laughing out loud. You remember you met Matt below deck when you and Applejack were just having a small tour of the underwater laboratory.
You sat at the table a bit further away from them, as you sat there quiet most of the time. Applejack sits beside you as she places an arm on your back as she rubs it. You didn’t mind it. It’s just so you can calm down from your temper a little bit from being angry at your dad.
Little time passes as you and Applejack finally head off to bed, as the two of you walk away you hear the playful teasing from some of the guys about no baby making. Once in the room you sat down upon your side of the bed while Applejack lies down pulling the covers over herself.
“Coming to bed?” She asks you.
“Yeah. Sorry.” You said as you lay down and place the covers over yourself as well.
It feels weird as you’re sleeping with Applejack, sure she was cute and all but she was simply a friend. But, you really didn’t care very much as you face away from her trying to put the thought as far away from your mind as possible.
“Look, I know that you probably didn’t feel like yourself today. Even if we left the harbor back in Canterlot. But just wait sugarcube, it’s only a few days. I promise, if we leave this place in a few days. You won’t have to worry about it ever again.” She said as she rubs your shoulder.
“Yeah, I know.” You said quietly. Applejack doesn’t say anything more on the matter as she turned around to shut off the lamp, “Well… Goodnight.” She said as she gets comfy.
“Night.” You said as the both of you went to sleep.
Applejack is just sitting with her back up against the wall. Just waiting for you and Alaina to head back.
She heard you surface as she quickly gets up to help you up.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m okay.”
You take Applejack’s help as she reaches out for you.
“Where’s Alaina?” You look at her as you shake your head trying to catch your breath.
Applejack looks at the water when all she could see was flaming debris falling from above.
“Dammit Alaina.” Applejack says as she flops back against the wall.
“Come on. Let’s go.” You said as you got up. “ I almost became food for that shark.”
“What happened?” Applejack asks as she gets up and follows you.
“That shark fucking grabbed her and ate her. Until it finally came after me.” You said as You and Applejack went downstairs, and enter another room.
“Wait. Where are we going?” Applejack asks.
“I have no idea.” You said. “I have no idea what’s the layout of this place.”
“Oh great.” She says as she enters the room with you. Applejack goes another direction as she gets on what looks like a little place that’s not water level.
“Hey, a map.” You said as you slowly walk to it. Hoping the shark won’t hear you. “Okay, I think we’re here.” You point attempting to read the map. “I have a feeling we should go up here if we take the stairs it shouldn’t take too long. What do you think Aj?” You said as you get no response. You turn around as you see Applejack with a terrifying look on her face.
“Aj, what’s wrong?” You ask as she points at the water. There. You see a dorsal fin slowly surface.
“RUN!” Applejack screams as the shark begins to charge at you. You quickly head for a table that’s behind a fallen shelf. The shark’s head pops up as you kicked the shelf at him.
The shark backs up as he rams you again. Knocking you off the table.
“NO!” Applejack screams as you got up. The shark’s snout hits you as you’re being pushed back up against the wall.
“FUCK!” You screamed as you’re scared of being eaten.
You try to push the shark back as you begin to pound it’s snout with your elbow as hard as you can. The shark only backs away as you quickly head to that wooden table.
The shark swims to you again. However, you jumped over that table only for the shark to bite at. You climb at another table that’s just above water.
You remained there and stood still as the shark starts to swim in the opposite direction, away from you and Applejack.
You couldn’t take your eyes off of the shark that’s swimming around. You begin to feel something that’s right beside you. Looking around you spot another set of breakers, each of them labeled telling you what goes to which system.
Knocking a few holes into the wall around the box you see an electrical cable running into it providing energy for the breakers to transfer. Looking down at the water a thought pops into your head. You start searching for something to protect yourself while you pull the cable out.
It wasn’t long till you spotted a set of cleaning supplies, among the chemicals, scrubs, and towels you find a set of rubber gloves. They weren’t as thick as you hopped them to be, but in this situation you hoped that they might work
You grab the cord as you begin tugging on it trying to rip a good length of it out. Hearing electrical sounds coming from it with each jerk you give it, soon enough as the cord starts coming out the power keeping the lights on soon goes out.
“Uh… What’re you doin’?!” Applejack asks knowing that any further action was basically suicide at this point.
As the last bit of the cable rips off the connection you nearly lose your balance as you see it spark a little, carefully you start ripping more of the cable out of the wall. Once you have the length you want you try to find a way to draw the shark’s attention toward you.
Looking down you see a piece of wood floating in the water. Gently you kneel down so the wire won't hurt you as you reach for the floating plank. Once you have a good hold on the board you lift it out of the water, carefully you let the cable dangle off the edge of the table as you begin beating on it to grab the shark’s attention.
Applejack cries out your name, “The hell are you doin’?!?”
You don’t respond as you keep beating the table while you look at the shark. In one swift motion it turns around and starts to swim right to you.
“HE’S HEADED RIGHT FOR YA!!” Applejack screams as you stop pounding the table and get in position.
“Alright ya big bastard! I got something for ya now!” You shout as the shark keeps swimming to you.
“GET OUTTA THERE!” Applejack screams.
“COME ON! That’s it.” You groan with a crazed look in your eyes.
The shark gets closer as it’s head slowly surfaces out of the water. He opens his mouth as you can hear Applejack scream. As the shark got closer with its head out of the water, and mouth wide open… You aim the cable carefully wanting to ensure that you didn’t miss your mark…
“SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!” You screamed thrusting the exposed end of the cable into the shark’s mouth at the moment it jumped towards you.
The shark begins thrashing around violently in the water while it’s being electrocuted. You and Applejack shield your eyes from the bright lights, soon enough you smell the carcase of the shark roasting from with in.
Finally, after thirty seconds. You look again as the shark is now just floating in the water. Applejack calls out your name multiple times as she’s completely scared.
“Are you alright? Is it over?! Please tell me you’re not dead!”
“I’m okay Applejack!” You said as she looks at you from across the room.
You carefully step into the water testing to see if any of it was electrically charged, once you felt it was safe you calmly walked up to the shark. You gave it a light punch to make sure that it’s not unconscious.
Staring at the motionless carcase you place your hand on it only to feel how hot it was, clearly the shark was dead.
“Alright Aj, it’s okay. It’s dead.”
“A-Are you sure?”
“I’m positive.”
Applejack slowly gets in the water as she walks to you. You both look at the dead shark for a few heartbeats. Until it’s time to leave.
“Come on. Let’s get outta here.”
Applejack agrees as she follows you to wherever you’re going.
***
You and Applejack enter a room that’s not flooded. However, you know this little room. Thunderbolt showed you and Applejack when he took you two on a tour the day after your arrival.
“Okay, I remember Thunderbolt telling me that this room can be easily flooded with this handle. So… We shouldn’t be too far from the surface.” Your optimism is faint at best, but after your little tussle with the shark what more could you ask for?
“What about the other shark?” Applejack asks.
“Well if I remember the tour right, they said that the sharks are attracted to bright colors. So… I got this.” You claim breaking open the glass case containing the ‘BC’ class fire extinguisher. “I think this will buy us time to get to the surface. We’ll use these lifejackets to help us get up there easier if that other shark doesn’t get us. Also, an extra life jacket for the extinguisher” You said as you place one on the extinguisher.
Applejack looks at you in a nervous way as she sighs. She looks at the chrome coating on the extinguisher hoping it would do the trick.
“I know it’s probably not the best idea. But, I really hope you’re right about this.” She grabs a life vest and puts it on.
You do the same as you put the fire extinguisher to the side. You reach for the handle and look at Applejack.
“Ready?”
Applejack nods. You turn the handle in a fast pace until it stops turning. You turn around and look at Aj as the room begins to quickly flood. You held out your hands for Aj.
“Together?”
Applejack grabs your hands.
“Together!”
She smiles at you as your heads are above water and that you’re now getting closer and closer to the door that’s keeping all the water out.
“Okay. Take a deep breath when I say!” You said as Applejack nods her head. When you’re finally at the ceiling.
“Ready? NOW!”
You both took a deep breath as the room fills to the brim with water showing no clear signs of pockets of air. You opened the vault like door that would keep the water out knowing it was now the best time to open it. You grab the fire extinguisher bringing it with you for a distraction for if and when the shark shows itself.
So far the life vests are working rather well bringing the two of you up to the surface at a decent pace. You look down as you’re getting further and further away from the room you both just exited steadily reaching the surface. All of a sudden, a giant shadow appears from below, you know full well it’s her coming for the two of you.
The thirty foot shark comes in from below as you feel Applejack pull you in closer upon seeing the behemoth of a creature. Looking down you toss the Extinguisher to the side it’s glistening chrome drawing the shark’s attention, reflecting what little light shined upon it. She grabs the fire extinguisher as she starts to swim around gnawing away at it trying to rip it open.
Finally, you and Applejack surface as you both gasped for air. For a moment the two of you smile at the light of the early day, only for your thoughts to quickly return to the issue of your location.
“Hurry, go!” You said as you and Applejack starts swimming to the dock.
Eventually, you both got there just in time. The fire extinguisher must worked really well, or at the least you hoped it harmed the shark with its violent release of the inner pressure.
“Wow. You were right. I guess that fire extinguisher did work after all.” Applejack said catching her breath. “You did it.” Applejack places her hand on your shoulder.
Until you hear the fence being rammed into by her.
“What’s it doing?” Applejack asks as she can see the shark thrashing around to break the fence.
“Don’t tell me.”
“What is it?”
“I think… When Alaina did that brain cell thing to those sharks. It looks like I know the answer to the rittle. It looks like… That’s what a six thousand pound shark thinks of. About freedom. About the deep blue sea.” You said.
“Oh my god.” Applejack mumbles. “What can we do?”
“We kill her.” You said as you face her.
“If that’s what you think is best. Let’s kill her.”
You and Applejack quickly get up as you ran to a storage room where Thunderbolt showed you. You see a harpoon gun with some harpoons and some sticks of dynamite.
You don’t even want to think where they get the dynamite. But, you also see a car battery in there.
“Applejack, help me with this!” You shout grabbing what you can carry as Applejack gathers the rest. You’re on a high level where you would be safer from the shark.
You grab the harpoon gun out with the sticks of dynamite. You begin tying two sticks to each harpoon followed by a length of electric wire to the sticks of dynamite.
“Okay, so the plan is we shoot the shark with the harpoon. And once the shark has been stuck by it we hook up the wire to the jumper cable. We then hook it up to the positive side of the battery. And boom.” You demonstrate.
“Sounds like a plan.” Applejack agrees tying down another set of dynamite.
You hear another loud ram causing the two of you to worry, looking to where it’s coming from as the shark’s still trying it’s best to break through. Where it’s trying to break through is only across the bridge. However, the bridge doesn’t look like it’s in good condition from that explosion.
“Come on, it’s only across that bridge there. If we cross it, we’ll be able to get her.” Applejack says as she grabs the harpoon gun. “Come on.”
You and her charge across the bridge. However, Applejack got through fine. As you began to cross the weakened bridge crumbled into the waters below.
You held into the railing as you start falling hoping you could pull yourself up, sadly the moisture on your hands made caused the pole to slip through your grasp. Falling once again you catch the cement only a foot lower than where you were, your hand hits something sharp tearing into you causing you to grunt and groan as you hold on for life.
“FUCK! My hand!” You screamed struggling to pull yourself up only for you to discover you’ve started to bleed.
You watch as your blood slowly collects and begins to pool at the edge of the broken slab, you know time is not on your side as you rush to climb up. Applejack calls you your name to get you attention just as you have the edge of the cement in your armpit. You look up at her frightened to know any number of drops of blood could have fallen at this point.
“Are you alright?”
“My hand! Pull me up, hurry!” You said as you take your sore hand and try to reach her.
Applejack tries to reach for you as your overall weight starts to become too much for you to lift, the events of the night before have more than taken their toll. And even with adrenaline pumping through your veins your stamina wanes with each little inch you try to hold onto.
“No! Aj! I’M SLIPPING! HELP!”
“Hang on!” Applejack’s hand is almost to yours. “Just a little…”
Suddenly, you slipped as you begin falling into the water.
“NO!” Applejack screams as you splash into the water.
You surfaced as you catch your breath wincing to the sting of the water touching your open wound.
“Applejack!”
“Hang on! Come over here, hurry!” She screams as she’s right above a ladder. She looks to her right as she sees the shark swim to you.
“Come on, hurry!” She screams. “GET OUT OF THE WATER!” You look back as you see the shark head straight to you as it smelled your blood the moment you landed in the water.
“Come on, hurry!” Applejack screamed.
You grabbed the cement ladder only for the ladder bar to break as you try to climb up. You fall back into the water only to watch as the bar sinks to the bottom. Slowly you look up scared this was it, as your eyes look straight ahead you see the shark has it’s mouth wide open right in front of you.
You quickly head up to the surface as best as you can. The shark charges at you as she tries to grab you. In a stroke of nothing more than luck she misses and you find yourself riding her dorsal fin. Now… It’s Applejack’s go.
***
Applejack gets in position as she takes the harpoon gun, and loads it with the dynamite filled spear.
“Okay. One shot.” She mumbles to herself as she sees the shark, and you rise up to the surface.
From how fast the shark’s swimming Applejack can’t aim at it too well worried that she would hit you instead. She sees you surface as the shark’s dorsal fin surfaces with you.
“SHOOT HER, APPLEJACK! SHOOT HER, HURRY!” You scream to her.
“One shot.”
Applejack pulls the trigger to the harpoon gun. It hits the shark’s dorsal fin. But, it went through and cuts you. You screamed from the pain as the shark bucks from the harpoon knocking you off.
“Damn!” Applejack said to herself as she knew from the screams of pain she had hit you as well.
Seeing the harpoon is stuck in the shark Applejack begins to prepare to blow her up.
“APPLEJACK! BLOW IT! THE BATTERY! BLOW IT!” You scream as Applejack grabs the cable.
She waits as she watches the cable wire follow the shark. Carefully following the line she watches as the shark starts to submerge.
“DO IT!” You scream fearful of the shark’s incoming attack.
***
As the shark submerges, you can see an opening of the fence that the shark made. Swimming through the open hole you know for the time being you are safe. Breathing a sigh of relief you are startled as the shark slams into the fence trying to get to you.
***
Applejack sees the shark slowly widening the hole forcing its way out. She takes the cable, and attaches it to the battery. A large explosion is seen underwater as it creates a big splash. Blood and flesh fly into the air.
“YES!” Applejack screams as she killed the shark.
Looking around you find a concret ladder built into the side of the wall. As you start to climb Applejack calls out to you to grab your attention.
“Applejack! Hold up, I’ll be right there!” You call out alerting her to your location as you struggle to make your way up.
Applejack rushes over to help you climb up. She sees where she probably hit you with the harpoon on your leg. Applejack sits down next to you.
“Thirty foot shark. You hit me. Nice.” You jokingly proclaim while catching your breath.
“Well, I couldn’t let her eat you alive now, can I?” She said as she playfully punches you.
“Hehe, yeah.” You said.
“Hey,” Applejack said grabbing your attention. “Are you sure it’s just two sharks?”
“Yeah.” Was your response.
“Oh, okay.”
You and Applejack sit there for a second. Until a boat horn is heard.
“Oh my god. Look who’s coming.” Applejack points at the boat.
“Oh shit. It’s dad with Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarity. Let me tell you something Aj. I don’t wanna ever come back here ever again.” You said as you and Aj stand up and help one another lip towards the dock.
“Just take me back home.” She mumbles.
“You got it.”
