WILD MEG
Deep below the dark depths of the Pacific Ocean, in the Midnight Zone between 8 to 10,000 feet in the 3rd deepest trench on Earth, the Philippine Trench. A Nuclear submarine lies on a ledge of the trench.
"Look at the sonar. Let me know what you find."
DEEP SEA RESCUE MISSION
SSBN ROGUE
PHILIPPINE TRENCH
"So far nothing new, my friend. It just keeps getting worse."
On the submarine's back, a small vessel was attach to it's back.
Inside the submarine, a room shows as sparks flicker.
And then, the hatch of a door turns and opens and a figure in a nuclear containment suit enters the room. And holds a device to detect any nuclear radiation. Soon after checking the levels are clean, the figure placed the device in a pocket. And then pulls off his mask and hood revealing a young man with a mostly bald head and bluish eyes named Jonas Taylor.
"D'Angelo, Marks, talk to me." He called on his mic with an Australian accent.
In a different section of the submarine, 2 other members D'Angelo and Marks we're searching for survivors.
"We've moved to the sonar room." Reported D'Angelo. "Just 9 rescues so far."
The led member shines his flashlight on a body.
"It's a mess, man. This is the worst I've ever seen."
He reaches to his neck for a pulse, but he was dead.
"Help!" Called a voice.
The led member turns to the direction of the voice. And soon enters a room as the voice grew louder.
"Help! Somebody help me!"
Behind a corner, an injured man lies against a wall.
"Help!" He yelled and soon saw a light. "Who's there?!"
The led member soon finds him, and shines his light as he has a cut on his forehead. And found a deep gash on his right thigh.
The led member heads down the hall carrying the man.
"I got one more survivor." Jonas called to his team. "Heading back to the rescue vehicle now."
Then suddenly the sub shook as if something just hit it.
Even Marks and D'Angelo felt it as they tried to stand.
"Marks."
"D'Angelo." Jonas called to them.
"What the hell was that?"
"I have no idea." D'Angelo said.
And then Marks looked as if he hears something. "Listen."
And then a loud eerie creaking sound was heard as they listened. That kind of sound is usually made as if something big was swimming by, but large creatures are rare at this depth. Giant and Colossal Squid are usually in these depths, and Sperm Whales do normally dive deep. But they usually avoid incoming submarines.
Jonas as well listened as the sound continues.
"Jonas, there's something outside the ship."
"There's something out there."
Outside the sub, all was calm as a large dent formation was seen on the back.
Then suddenly out of the black, a large creature swims towards the ship.
The impact felt like a dozen freight trains just rammed the ship as Marks and D'Angelo were knocked off their feet.
Even Jonas was knocked off his feet as the man hits the floor.
And Jonas helps him up as water spills.
"You okay, pal?" Jonas asked.
Then suddenly a clang was heard as Jonas turns to the wall.
Then suddenly a section of the wall was crushed, and small ridge like dents were seen. And Jonas knew it wasn't the pressure of the water outside.
"Oh, my God." Jonas gasped.
The section crushed more as if something was trying to take a bite out of the hull.
Marks and D'Angelo climb to their feet as water spills into the room.
"Something's crushing the hull. Get back to the rescue vehicle."
"Now." Jonas ordered.
And Jonas begins to lift up the man.
"We're right the behind ya!" D'Angelo replied not being told twice and got up.
At the rescue vessel, other survivors helped the last man in as a mid aged man named Dr. Heller helped him in.
"You guys, move! Slide him up." Heller said.
And soon, Jonas climbs into the vessel behind him.
"Marks. D'Angelo. Report." Jonas called to them as he moves to the front. "You almost there?" He flips a few switches.
"Jonas, listen to me." D'Angelo called. "We're trapped!"
"What?" Jonas said as if he misheard him.
"The impact jammed the hatch!" D'Angelo said as they struggle to open the door that got jammed from whatever struck the ship.
"Coming back." Jonas said making his way to the hatch.
Just before he was about to head back, the vessel then shook.
"The sub is starting to collapse." D'Angelo exclaimed.
"Marks!" Jonas yelled.
"Jonas, we need you-"
"-down here before it's too late." D'Angelo trying to pry the door lose.
Then suddenly the vessel shook again.
Then the sonar room starts spilling water.
"The sub's been breached." D'Aneglo said.
"There's water everywhere."
Then Jonas was struck with a dilemma.
"Jonas, the room is flooding. Marks, we gotta get this hatch open."
"Come on, Jonas. Where are you?"
"It's not gonna work!"
"Jonas, hurry, please!"
"We just need more time! Don't leave us!"
"Jonas!"
With 10 others in the vessel, Jonas is struck with the dilemma of his team is trapped. But if they stay too long, the sub is likely to explode by the time the hatch is pried loose.
And then the vessel's radar picks up something as if something was coming towards them.
"Let's us know when you're here! Don't give up!"
"Jonas, please!"
"Come down here, now! Where are you?"
"Jonas!"
And then, after making a difficult decision. Given no choice, Jonas was forced to closed the hatch and locks it. And then moves over and flips a red switch and pulls a red lever as the vessels then deploys off the sub.
"You've lost your mind!" Heller said and moves towards the hatch.
But then Jonas holds him back against the wall. "Back off, Heller. If we go back, everyone dies. Everyone!"
And then Jonas got off of Heller and moves to the front.
Back over with the sub, the large dent formation then crushes under the intense water pressure.
And then the entire submarine implodes and explodes, creating a fiery glow as sections of the sub sank and spread. And killing Marks and D'Angelo.
And the vessel begins the trip to the surface, losing 2 members.
"What have you done?" Heller stared at Jonas.
Even Jonas was struck with the decision he made.
Author's Note:
Admittedly, that has to be the toughest dilemmas I've ever seen.
So, you all Shark fans ready?
