Having lost its Captain, the luxury cruise ship crashes into an iceberg. The water automatically started spilling into the parts of the broken ship. Grell continued to strike down the corpses with his death scythe. 

"The pitch-black sea, reflecting the countless twinkling stars..." Another swing. "is dyed red, like my favorite roses." 

Corpses fell apart and landed into the water, and also sprayed the deck of the ship red. "The situation! Is perfect for me to play the heroine. Seems like tonight will be best!" 

Ω 

Sebastian's and The Midford's where standing in the Campania Elevator Hall when the ship crashed into the ice berg. The force was so great it made them stumble. 

"Wha... What is it!?" Francis said. "What was that shock just now!?" 

Sebastian looked shocked. "...Im-possible!" Sebastian ran off to the Campania First Deck with the Midford's. Sebastian looked down seeing where the ship collided with the ice berg that is now broken, just as much as the ship. 

Edward looked in shock at the broken ship and the huge ice berg. "We crashed into that!? Hey, butler!" 

Sebastian ran off into the Campania Wheelhouse. Sebastian saw the dead crew, and he went into the wheelhouse. "To prevent flooding... water tight doors... this one." 

He turned the handle for the water tight doors to close, to at least stop the flooding for a while. "This should prevent flooding for now. But for all the crew to have been taken out... seems like tonight will be the worst."  

Sebastian heard the corpse behind him, and Sebastian kicked the corpse out the window of the wheelhouse making it plunge straight into the water. This caught Ronald's attention and he turned his head hearing where the crash came from. 

"Hm?" Ronald said. 

"Hey, don't look the other way! Come on... Why don't you try feeling it?" Grell demanded. 

Grell stood by the edge of the ship with Ronald holding on to his waist. 

"This salty breeze! It's like my whole body is being careeeessed~" 

Ronald looked annoyed. "Um... Sutcliff-Senpai..." 

Grell continued on ignoring him. "A sky full of stars! A luxury cruise ship! This is the perfect stage for a big actress to spread her wings!" 

"Are you trying to torment your new subordinate...?" 

"That's rude! And well... You know, I'd rather do it with a more handsome guy than some brat like you!" 

"By more handsome guy you mean..." The thought of Sebastian popped into Ronald's head. 

I'd better keep my mouth shut if I don't want him to slack off on the job... 

"What?" Grell asked. 

"No, nothing." 

"I just can't get excited at all with you as my partner." Grell said nonchalantly. "I give up, I give up." 

"Woooooow. Anyway, we really shouldn't be doing something like this. Tim Lumis, born October 8th, 1868. Died April 20th , 1889 as a result of heart failure. Alan Foster, born September 21st , 1817. Died April 20th , 1889 as a result of heart failure. Nick Beaton, born June 24th , 1875. Died April 20th , 1889 idem. Helen Roth, born May 17th , 1835. Idem. Because you see... we've still got another 1,034 of these to go... and while doing our regular work, they're telling us to investigate some moving corpses, they're such total slave drivers!" Ronald pouted. 

"Hmph. You shouldn't cry over such little things. Soul reaping is a Shinigami's most important job! You can just quickly finish up that investigation in your break time." 

"I don't want to be told that by someone who just recently had a suspension order... with a straight face too..." 

"Shut up, you! Let's get this over with already and go home. Having to do over time while getting scolded by Will isn't so bad, but I really don't need another suspension- to be honest, I'd rather be spared both..." 

Ω 

The hit of the ship hit the Campania 2nd Boiler Room hard where Ciel, and the others where. 

"What was that shock just now?" 

"Whatever it was it can't be good." Chuuya said holding Bernadette. They all heard the ship breaking. Water busted into the boiler room making everyone move around and try to get to the surface.  

"The alarm means... the water tight doors are closing!!" 

Everyone looked at the doors starting to close. "Everyone hurry! Run out!" Odasaku yelled as he ran towards the water tight doors. Everyone else followed behind.  

"Hurry up!! We'll be locked in!!" One of the boiler works shouted. 

"Lizzy!!" Ciel yelled. 

"Ciel! Wait...!" Lizzy tried walking towards him. 

"It's too late, kid!" The worker said holding Ciel back. 

"Lizzyy!" Ciel yelled reaching for her. 

"Ci..." The water tight doors closed. Dazai looked around for Chuuya and Bernadette, he looked over seeing Oda and he ran towards him and Dazai's eyes widened as he saw they weren't with Oda.  

"Damn it! Chuuya and Bernadette are in there!" 

Dazai ran towards the door and he pounded on it. "Chuuya! Bernadette!" Oda helped him pound on it, and he also called out to them. 

Chuuya came out of the water gasping, and he had Bernadette by his side holding her tightly as she coughed up water. Chuuya heard Dazai and Oda yelling for him and Bernadette. Chuuya made his way over to the water tight doors with Bernadette. "We're fine! Go ahead! We will meet up later!" 

"I can't just leave you both here!" 

"We will find another way out Dazai!... Trust me...! I promise you we will find a way out!"  

"O-Okay! I love you both!" Dazai said clearly in panic. 

During this time Ciel made his way over to Lizzy. He refused to leave her behind.  

"Ciel, why!?" 

"I promised to protect you at all costs!" Ciel said grabbing her hand. 

"Snake! You guys go on ahead!" 

"I can't leave you behind! Say Emily." Snake said pounding on the door. 

"Hey we can escape through that!" Bernadette pointed to the air duct. Chuuya started making his way towards the air duct with Bernadette. 

"Don't worry, we'll escape via duct!" Ciel said pulling Lizzy along. "Your "friends" can't be soaked in cold water for too long, right? Go!" 

Snakes was shocked by his words. And he threw a snake up towards the air duct. "Smile! Keats will guide you through the duct! We'll meet up later! Says Emily." 

"Yeah! I'll definitely see you later!" Ciel said running up the stairs as the water kept filling up the boiler room. 

"Hurry!" Chuuya said opening the duct. Chuuya lifted Bernadette putting her in the duct. She turned around looking at Chuuya sad.  

"Go princess... I will be right behind you I promise, okay? Have I ever broken my promise to you?" 

Bernadette shook her head. "Okay. Then trust me that I will be right behind you, and go. You can't swim. I am more worried about you. I will be fine." Chuuya said giving her a reassuring smile. 

"O-okay Mama..." Bernadette said as she started crawling through the duct. 

"Lizzy take off those clothes!" Ciel demanded. As he was doing that Chuuya climbed in the duct right after Bernadette.  

"Oi! Hurry up kid!" Chuuya yelled. "That water isn't going to stall and soon this whole room will be flooded!" 

Chuuya saw Ciel rip Lizzy's dress as she was being quite stubborn about taking it off. Chuuya knew what she meant. Bernadette acted the same way about her clothes being in pristine condition. Something she got from Chuuya's side of the family. 

"Hey! Lizzy is it?" 

Lizzy nodded. 

"I understand what you mean. My daughter is the same way. But he's right. It's awfully tight and that dress won't let you squeeze through. I am sure he will buy you another." Chuuya smiled at her. 

"That's... That's right. I'll ask Nina to make you a new dress next time. A much nicer one than the one you're wearing today. So please..." 

"No Ciel. I'm sorry I was being stubborn." 

"I'm sorry I was too rough on you." 

Chuuya smiled as he was able to settle the teens small disagreement. Chuuya took Lizzy's hand helping her up and then Ciel followed after. They all started making their way through the ducts. 

Ω 

Sebastian climbed up out of the water, and onto the 3rd Class Deck of the Campania. Sebastian started making his way back to the wheelhouse. 

At a quick glance, the ship seems to have taken damage over quite an extensive area. 

Sebastian pulled out a map looking over it. 

In this state, 3... No. At least 4 divisions should have flooded already.   The ship can only handle a mass of water as heavy as the vessel  its elf . Which means... 

"My, this is..." Sebastian said coming to the conclusion. 

Grell and Ronald where in the 1st Class Suite of the Campania killing more corpses. 

"From one to the next, it just doesn't end! Can't we just quit this already?" Ronald whined. 

"Well, I guess messing around with these is kind of a waste of time." Grell agreed. 

"This right. Cos this ship..." 

"Will sink within one hour." Sebastian and Ronald both said. 

Sebastian started changing. "The water should be about 2 degrees. To be soaked in it for a long time will harm the body. I must hurry to their side." 

Sebastian said walking off to go find the others.
