"So.... This is the Bismarck from your world?" Z23 said.

"Yes it is, pretty cool right?" Daniel said,

"Uh, yeah....

This was commissioned in the 1940's, right?" Z23 said.

"Correct, deadliest ship of his time." Daniel said.

"His?" Z23 said.

"Yup, Bismarck is refreshed to as a he,

Captain Ernst Lindemann decided to refer to it as a male because he deemed this ship to be too powerful to be called a female." Daniel said.

"Why is Bismarck a girl then if her namesake ship was male?" Z23 said.

"Well, in my world he's male" Daniel said,

Daniel then snapped, moving his head around,

"What is it?" Z23 said.

"Bismarck! She's still on this ship!

Can't believe I forgot!" Daniel shouted.

"What kind of friend does that?" He thought to himself.


Daniel went to go inside the bowels of the ship,

Z23 attempted to follow,

But then,

*klunk!

Her rigging got stuck on the doorway,


"I-It's fine, I can manage!" She said.

She moved herself to the side, and wedged herself into the narrow metal corridors.

It was hard hobbling down the rows and rows of stairs without your already damaged rigging trying to get stuck on everything.

"Stop!" Daniel said all of a sudden,

Z23, without thinking, froze on the stairs.

"W-what?!" She yelled to Daniel, still trying to balance on one foot.

Daniel paused for a little bit.

"They're going this way!" Daniel shouted.

Daniel took off like an Olympic sprinter

"Who's going this way!?" Z23 said.

"Bismarck I think, and whoever's going along with her!" Daniel said.

Z23 couldn't help but notice that the red cube in his pocket was glowing once again, this time brighter.

"Well wait up!" Z23 said.
