Kharon Part 71

Kharon Chapter 71

         Simone and Kiarah rocket through the water in the Quarsian Stingers.  Soon they are met with other small ships in the water that look like bob sleds made of ice.  These sled ships blast rays at Simone and Kiarah.  The rays seem to cover anything it hits with a sheet of ice.  Simone and Kiarah dodge the blasts and fire their own torpedos back.  The dog fight rages on for several minutes.  The Quarsian Stingers are faster and more agile so they easily out maneuverer the other ships as they zip through the under sea currents.  Eventually the dog fight is over and only Kiarah and Simone are left in the water.  

        “We won!”, cries Simone.

        “I wouldn’t celebrate quite yet”, says Kiarah as more ice sleds approach.  

        Simone and Kiarah try to continue the fight and protect the Kharon but there are just too many this time and they are overwhelmed.  One of the ice ships shoots its ray at the Kharon freezing the motors.  Another ship creates an ice cable that connects the now frozen motor to the sled like vessel.  Other ice ships do the same and begin towing the Kharon.  Simone and Kiarah try breaking the cables and destroying the ships but it’s no use.  The momentum of the Kharon causes the ship to crash into the floating island made of ice.  The sled-like ice ships quickly encase the Kharon in ice attaching it securely to the island.  Their job done they disappear under the floating island.
