Chapter 42 by Alibara Alibara

What's next?

Moby Dick sighted

I keep running at the mast and crashing into.

"What are you doing?" Nemo asks.

"I'm trying to destroy this mast, so they can't go after Moby Dick." I have been running at the mast for hours.

Ahab pays this no mind. She is just looking through her scope. "I've found the whale!"

I fall to the ground as the Peqoud II goes after Moby Dick. I know how this story is going to end.

A boat has already been sent out with Flask and Daggio.

Moby Dick bites it in two and heads towards to our ship.

Pip tries to jump overboard but Ishmael stops her.

Ahab and Fedallah get inside a boat to go after the whale. Fedallah is supposed to die today. They are followed by boats with Stubb and Nemo.

"Fire the harpoon!" Stubb says.

"This is a bad idea!" Nemo says.

Stubb takes the harpoon from Nemo and fires it at Moby Dick. She is pulled into the waters, as Moby Dick moves away.

I make my final run to the mast. This time it works. I find myself running up the mast. I get to the top and jump into the air. As I fall, I punch through the mast. In my descent, my fist splits the mast in two.

"But how?!" Fedallah asks.

Moby Dick stops before reaching Ahab's ship. It begins to move away. It has no reason to attack our ship.

Ahab climbs back onto the ship. "What have you done?!"

"I convinced the whale to flee. If it knows we can't harm it, it'll leave us alone." I say.

Ahab tries to move to the ship's harpoon cannon.

Starbuck blocks her.

"Step aside." Ahab says.

"I can't let you do this." Starbuck says. Ahab draws a gun and shoots Starbuck. She grabs the harpoon cannon. "If you fire our ship's harpoon into the whale, we're all gonna get dragged under."

Ahab fires the harpoon into Moby Dick.

The whale screams in pain and moves away faster.

"Damn, it's still alive!" Ahab says.

"You've killed us all!" I slap Ahab across the face. "Moby Dick is not responsible for everything you've suffered! It is just a whale that was probably defending itself when it took your grandfather's leg and when it killed your grandfather! And it was your father who took your leg because he wanted **** but was too much of a coward to do it himself, so he sent his own daughter to get herself for him! And this whale might not even be Moby Dick at all! Just some other albino whale!"

Ahab points her gun at me. "I'll finish it myself." She walks towards the rope and begins climbing on it. She needs both hands to scale across to the whale, so she can't use her gun to shoot me.

I begin climbing on the rope after her. "This is suicide! You're going to die! Is that worth it!"

"My only reason for being is to kill that whale! I mean look at me! Who could love something as ugly as me!" Ahab says.

"I love you!" Starbuck has followed us on the rope.

Ahab hesitates for a moment, but then continues to climb towards Moby Dick.

I catch up with her, and we begin to grapple.

Ahab takes out her sword and swings it at me.

I grab her wrist. My other arm is wrapped round the rope. I take the sword from her and begin cutting the rope.

Ahab bites my ankle.

I cut the rope and we all fall into the water.
