*Mayday!!! Mayday!!! Mayday!!! (1) *

" Negative!!! "

" AFC Heavy. Can you do a 30 Grad turn right and fly to Boston?"

" Negative!!! .... We´re going down on the New York Harbor. "

" AFC Heavy. Please repeat!"

" AFC Heavy. We´re going down on the New York Harbor. May God grant us the Luck that he gave Jeff Sullenberger. "

What had happened?

It had been a Sunny Day in Paris Airport, France.

Captain Martin Shelby, a 30 Years old Arcanine Morph, his Co Pilot Samantha Miller, also a 30 Years old Arcanine Morph and the engineer Jeffrey Simmons, a 29 Years old Houndoom Morph, were sitting in an Air France Lounge, doing their last checkups before they began their flight to Los Angeles.

" How is the weather condition?" Asked the Captain into a phone and began to wrote something on a notepad. " Alright. Thank You Sir and good Day. "

He laid the phone back down and said smiling to his Cockpit Crew.

" OK. Seems like that we will have a nice and smoothly flight. Nothing bad is on our way. "

" That´s good News I think. So... Should we be going or is there more to talk about?" Asked the engineer.

" Not from my Site. Do you have a question?" The Captain asked his Co Pilot.

" No Sir. " She shortly and a bit shyly answered.

" Leave the Sir Home. I´m Martin Shelby. Call me Martin and this is Jeffrey Simmons. " The Captain said with a warm smile.

" Call me Jeff if you want. "

" Nice to meet you. I´m Samantha Miller but you can call me Sam. "

The group began to take their things and began to walk towards their Plane. While they walked, Martin and Samantha were talking over different things.

" Is this your first flight over the big Sea?" Asked Martin.

" No. " She answered. " I´ve had done one flight before but that one was the last flight of the Concorde. "

" Really? Did you enjoyed it to travel with so much speed?"

" To be exactly.... No. I hated it. She was flying so fast that you could not enjoy the sight outside. "

" Well.... With our old Lady you will surely become some time. Even if it will not be much for sure. "

At that moment they reached the Airfield and right in front of them was a White and Blue Boing 747 standing. Seeing the Plane, Samantha´s Eyes became big and some Stars were seen in it.

" Looks like you like what you see?" Martin said to her with a smile while Jeff walked on and on a Railway.

" Like? Are you kidding me? She is so beautiful!!! I didn´t even know that these design is still in use. "

" Well... There are still some flying around but only as Carriers. Our Lady here is one of the last 10 Passenger Planes Worldwide. "

" How old is she?" Samantha asked while she carefully moved her left Paw up and down on a wheel.

" She is already 20 Years old but she is still a nice Lady when we are threatening her nice but she can be a beast sometimes also. Yet she has always brought us were we wanted to go and I hope that she will keep it going on. Come on now. Let us bring our bags in the Cockpit and do our walk around. Time is running. "

The two then both brought their bags into the Machine and then they went back outside to do a quick walk around.

" Have you found anything?" Martin asked once they met in front of the Plane.

" No I didn´t but.... Could it be that engine 4 has been went through a checkup last night?" Samantha asked.

" Yes it did but.... How do you know that?"

" I smelled some fresh painting. That´s why. "

" Aha....A fine Nose you have also. That´s good. Yes, it has some fresh paint on it and some of the shovels has been renewed. Let´s go inside now to do the remaining checklists. "

They did as say. Together the two walked back into the Cockpit and there they did their routine. They ran through some lists. Pushed these and that Buttons and while they did, the passengers were slowly entering the plane. The last things they did were to talk to the field boss.

" OK. What can you tell me?" Martin asked.

" We filled 50 Tons of Kerosene into the plane. 10 Tons into each wing and 30 in the middle. Passengers bags are fully loaded and the last food Container is loading right now. " Said the man with a yellow coat back.

" Looks like that I have not to worry about something. "

" Only for some mad Passengers. "

" Yeah. Same as always I guess. " Martin said with a smile.

" Yep. Sign here and you are ready to roll out from our site. "

" Thanks. Have a nice Day. "

" You too. "

Martin signed the final list and then the Man left the plane. Once out, Martin said to Samantha.

" I go and ask Melany if all Passengers are on board while you can do the final preparations. "

" OK. "

The Captain then got up from his seat and moved out of the Cockpit. Outside he met a Female Espeon Morph, who was closing the door. Once closed he said to her.

" Looks like that all are on board. "

" Yep. Plane is full and ready to go Martin. "

" And how is my special Team doing?"

" Same as always. Tired but ready to go also. "

He always called his Crew special because he had a Team of all Eevee Evolutions. Splitted fairly into Males and Females.

"I only hope that they can hold their fingers away from each other or away from the passengers. Last time was far too close. "

" I know and don´t worry. I washed their Heads once we had been in our Hotel. "

"I hope that it was after your .... Quality time.... "

" Of course... Hehe. " She said with a blush.

He always counted on them because they were all mates and mates were in his Eyes more useful then singles who preferred to flirt around while on the flight.

" OK. Make everything ready for takeoff. "

" I do. "

Afterwards, Martin moved back into the Cockpit while Melany began to great the Passengers over the speakers. Once inside the Cockpit, Martin asked Samantha.

" Everything done?"

" Yep. Preparations are done and the pusher is already doing his work. "

" Nice. "

The rest went on routine. The Plane was pushed away from the Airport building, they rolled onto the runway and shortly afterwards they took off. Once they reached their traveling high, Martin spoke to the Passengers.

" Good Morning Ladies and Gentleman. This is Captain Martin Shelby speaking. Me and my Crew are wanting to welcome you all on our Air France Flight from Paris to L.A. We are all hoping that you will enjoy the 12 Hours flight with our Airline and that you will keep on traveling with us. As soon as we are reaching our assigned High, you will be allowed to open the safety belts and shortly afterwards some food and drinks are brought to you. Thank You. "

The next 10 Hours went on with nothing special happening but then the flight became the pure Hell.

" AFC Heavy. This is Reykjavik. You are now leaving our region of control. Please contact Washington Centre on 119.6 for the next instructions. Over."

" Reykjavik Control. AFC Heavy. We will contact Washington Centre on 119.6. Thank You and have a nice Day. " Said Martin and began to stretch himself.

" HHHNNNN.... AAAHHH.... Damn! I´m lucky when we are finally there and I can get a bath in the pool. Does someone of you want to drink something with me?" He asked around.

" Me not. I´m going to listen on the bed once we are in the Hotel. But thanks anyway. " Jeff said from behind.

" Me nether. I want to surf in the internet and check some mails. " Samantha said while she looked out from her window.

" Mails from your friend I guess. " Said Jeff with a smirk.

" Nope. I´m single. " Came back.

" Really? Then why don´t you bend on with our Captain over there? He is... " Martin cut him.

" Shut the Fuck up!!! I told you that....... HOLY SHIT !!!!"

Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard and the Machine did a hard shake before it began to fall hardly. Immediately, Martin began to pull hardly on his Joystick and in front of him, some lights began to blink and some alarms were heard and the Autopilot shut himself down.

30000 Feet

The Machine was dropping hard.

25000 Feet

Slowly, Martin managed it to stop the fall.

20000 Feet

The Plane had finally stabilized and Martin was able to listen to his Crew and the alarms.

" ENGINE 4 IS ON FIRE !!!" Shouted Jeff from behind.

" SHUT IT DOWN AND FULL SPEED ON NUMBER 3 !!!" Martin shouted back.

All was done quickly. Jeff pushed some Buttons to shut down the Engine while Samantha moved the levers between them to push the engines speeds.

" Engine 3 on Full speed !!!" Said Samantha.

" Engine 4 Kerosene delivery is set off and Fire Extinction System is on!!!" Came from Jeff.

" Really? My alarms are still on !!" Martin said.

" Confirmed!!! No Fuel running and system activated !!!"

" Damnit!!! Set the Radio on 119.6 !!!"

" Radio set on 119.6 !!!"

The Fire warning went out while Martin began to speak.

" Washington center!!! This is AFC Heavy!!! "

At that moment, a loud * BAMM * was heard and the Plane began to roll right.

" GOD DAMMIT !!!"

Immediately, Martin pushed his Joystick to the left to prevent the Plane from Rolling and luckily it followed his will but then something new happened once the plane was flying in line again.

" I´ve got breaking respawn from the wings !!!" Martin said into round and Jeff nearly immediately said back.

" We´ve lost all three hydraulics Systems and Fuel is starting to drain rapidly on the left. "

" DAMN IT !!!"

At that moment, Martin heard a Voice from the Radio.

" AFC Heavy. This is Washington Centre. Please respawn!"

" Washington Center. AFC. MAYDAY!!! MAYDAY!!! MAYDAY !!!" Martin immediately answered. " We have lost one of our engines and our complete Hydraulics System is out. Requesting for landing somewhere nearby."

" AFC Heavy Roger. You are clear to land wherever you want. Can you do a 180 turn and fly back to Reykjavik?"

" Negative Center. We are only slightly able to hold our current High and direction. No chance to do a turn without some help. "

" Roger AFC. The next Airfield is Kangerlussuaq. Can you reach it?"

" How long is it?"

"About 1000 Miles."

" That´s too short for us so Negative. "

" Understood AFC. Can you reach .... " Martin cut the Man on the other end.

" How far away are we from La Guardia?"

" AFC Heavy. About 1500 Miles away. "

" Good. This is our Landing point. "

" AFC Heavy are you sure?"

" I am sure!!! Clean the way in front of us so we have it easier!"

" AFC Heavy Roger. "

Once the talk ended, Samantha said to Martin.

" Why La Guardia? Kangerlussuaq is much nearer. "

" I Know but I don´t have another choice. This plane is far too heavy for such a short runway and we lost our ability to turn this hardly. "

"But there are... " Martin cut her hard.

"I know that there are more Airfields on Greenland and that I can use the engines to turn but they are all shorter than our needed 2500 Miles runway and I don´t know how the plane will respawn on a turn. La Guardia is our only help... But you brought me on an idea. "

Martin then spoke again with Washington over Radio.

" Washington Center. AFC Heavy. Can you do me a Favor?"

"AFC Heavy. Speak on. "

" I need a direct radio connection to the Aircraft Carrier USS Genolen. They can maybe help me out. "

" AFC Heavy. Wait a few seconds. I try to connect you. "

Silence for a few minutes. Then.

" This is Captain James Kit. Who am I talking to?"

"James. It´s me Martin. Listen. I´m in a triple Mayday Situation and you can maybe help me out. "

" Speak on. I´m fully listen to you my friend. "

" I hope that you are having a Jet nearby because I need a checkup of my plane. It could easily be that.... We had been target of a Bomb. "

A few seconds silence, then.

" Tell me your position and you will get some escort within Minutes. "

" Thanks. Our Position is 1 4 3 6. Heading straight New York. High is 13000 Feet and slowly dropping 1 Feet per Minute. "

" Understood. Help is on the way. Hang on my Friend. "

" I try Boss. "

Once the connection was shut, Washington was heard.

" AFC Heavy. How many People are on board and how much kerosene do you have left?"

" Washington, please wait. "

Once heard, Jeff quickly wrote some Notes on a paper and handle it over to Martin who again began to speak.

" Washington. Our kerosene is down to 20 Tons and dropping.... We are having 550 Souls on board. 520 Passengers, 13 Crew Members and 17 Pokémon in our Cargo Bay. "

" Understood AFC Heavy. "

Once that talk was over, Martin said to Jeff.

" Go down and bring the Pokémon up. "

" OK but.... " Martin cut him hard with a stone solid look on his face. " OK, OK I go. Sam. Help me please. "

The Two then began to push their seats forward and then they opened the emergency Clap to the Cargo Bay. While they were going down the letter, Martin took a phone and began to speak with the passengers.

" OK Everyone. Listen up. You might have all already noticed that something is wrong with our plane and I know that you all are fearing right now. Yet I would Lie to say that I´m not fearing but let me tell you something. I have never lost one passenger or Plane and I will not start today!!! I will bring you all down alive and unharmed!!! For those of you that might are fearing for their Pokémon or Mons, in a few moments you will see them again but please, try to calm them. They are probably fearing too and the last thing I need now is a Pokémon running wild if you might understand. "

At that moment, the first face of a Pokémon was shown in the little hole on the ground.

" OH Hi there." Said Martin to welcome the Pokémon but he also said it over the speakers and everyone in the cabin began to smile a bit.

" Board crew to the Cockpit please. " Was the next thing he said over the speakers and the hole Cabin crew followed the instruction.

" Now I have one more thing to tell you my friends. I have called a good friend of mine from the Military and he is already sending me help so please, DON´T BE ALARMED if you see a Fighter Jet next to us. He will only look over our Plane. Nothing more. When I know more, I will speak to you again. "

Next the Cockpit door went open and the Crew began to bring the Pokémon to their trainers. All over the process, it staid quiet in the hole Plane and for that, Martin was really thankfully.

It didn´t took long until each Pokémon had come out of the Cargo Bay and once Samantha and Jeff had come out and had taken their seats again, Martin heard a familiar Voice over his Headphones.

" Bad Boy One for AFC Heavy. "

" What on earth are you doing here, Rouge One?" Martin asked back.

" I thought that I would pay you a quick visit and say Hello, Lucky. "

" God Dammit! I had hoped that Boss would send someone that I could trust blind, Man. "

" Well I´m sorry but the Good Guys are sold out today. "

" HAHA... Still the bad joker are you?"

" I´ve had a good teacher. HEHE... What can I do for you, Lucky?"

" Do a round check and tell me what you see. "

" OK. "

Samantha asked in between.

" Boss? Lucky? Rogue One? I don´t understand what ...? " Jeff cut her

" These are their Codenames. You must know that Martin was a War Jet Pilot before he came here."

" AAHHH... That means Boss was their Captain and.... "

" Lucky was he and Rogue One was his Wingman. "

" Would you two stay quiet please. I need to concentrate. " Came from Martin who was still fighting the controls.

A few moments of silence were followed.

" Round check done. " Came suddenly over the Headphones.

" And?" Asked Martin.

" What do you want to hear? Good News or Bad News first?"

" Just spill it out. "

" OK. Your Nose and the front is unharmed. "

" I know that. Come on. Give me something I don´t know. "

" Yeah, Yeah. Relax. It was no Bomb. For your sake it wasn´t a Bomb. "

" What do you mean for my sake it wasn´t one?"

" The engine you lost has been dragged away by something and it has done some seriously damage to the Wing, the downside and on the rudder. "

" O.... K.... What kind of damage?"

" The Wing is spiked with several holes and from that holes you are losing some liquids. "

" Which Color?"

" It can be blue or red? Not clearly to see. "

" Shit. That can be hydraulics mixed with some Fuel. OK. What else. "

" From the Wing is a crack going straight to your downside. Exactly said it reaches the positions of your Main undercarriage. "

" OH Damn!!! Can you see some tires through the crack?"

" Wait a sec.... Yep. I can see some. "

" Oh No... "

" That had been the good News. "

" The good one? What is now coming?"

" Your rudder is now nearly cut into two pieces on the left side. It can easily be that it will drop when you try to change directions or even trying to land. "

" I understand.... Do you have all on Cam if.... "

" All on it my friend. "

" Good. Thanks for the help my friend. Now you can fly back to the Carrier. "

" Who do you think I am? You stayed on my side, now I stay on yours till the end. "

" In that case.... When I survive this, the first round goes on me. "

" Sounds like a deal. "

Once he had ended that speak, Martin called for Washington.

" Washington Center, AFC Heavy. "

" Speak AFC. " Came back.

" I´ve got some new News. La Guardia is NO option anymore. "

" Understood AFC. Can you land in Washington?"

" Negative!!! "

" AFC Heavy. Can you do a 30 Grad turn right and fly to Boston?"

" Negative!!! .... We´re going down on the New York Harbor. "

" AFC Heavy. Please repeat!"

" AFC Heavy. We´re going down on the New York Harbor. May God grant us the Luck that he gave Jeff Sullenberger. "

" AFC Heavy, please repeat that !!!"

Before Martin could answer, Rogue One was heard.

" He said that he will go down on the New York Harbor!!! IS THAT CLEAR ???"

" OK, OK. I understand. "

" You have 30 Minutes to clean the Harbor and get the Rescue Units ready."

" Roger AFC Heavy. May God bless you."

Once the talk ended, Samantha asked with fear in her Voice.

" Why do you want to...Do such a landing?"

" Later. " Was Martins only answer and before she could ask again, he began to speak with the passengers.

" Alright everyone. Listen up. I would lovely spear you this information's that I´m about to tell you but.... I don´t have another choice. "

A Few seconds of silence before he went on.

" My little friend out there told me that...Our plane is to hardly damaged for a normal landing. So I had to decide between a belly landing on an Airport or on Water..."

Another few seconds of Silence.

" I have to apologize to you all but.... I decided to try a landing like Jeff Sullenberger did on the New York Harbor.... We will go down in 30 Minutes so... If you want to call your family or friend or Mate...This is our time limit. Once we will go down I will say three times DOWN over the speakers. Please follow the instructions of the Crew then and... If you maybe want to prey.... Count me into it please. "

Martin then closed the connection and moved his Headphones down from his Head. Then he wanted to tell the reasons to Samantha but before he could, Jeff said quickly.

" I´m sorry but..." Martin cut him quickly.

" It´s alright. Go and call your Mate Back Home. Catchier it cannot become. "

Once Jeff was out, Martin began to talk.

" I have no other choice. Surely it would be a better way to land on an Airfield but... Without some hydraulics it would be a hard and tricky landing and .... Our undercarriage is probably damaged either and landings without an undercarriage on an Airfield had always ended in a Catastrophe. "

" But.... splashdowns are also this Chaotic. "

" I know. But there is a 50 / 50 chance of managing it and.... I don´t want to risk no more Lifes than ours. "

" What do you mean?"

" I mean.... Each Airfield in our reach is surrounded by a City and when I maybe do something wrong then they would be in danger.... I.... I cannot risk it. I´m sorry.... "

" I see.... Can we make it?" She asked with some fear in her Voice and in her Eyes he saw fear also.

" We WILL make it!!! Our Lady had always brought us down safety and even a bad wound will not stop her. " He said that a bit loud so Samantha would lose her fear and it worked but in his Mind he prayed to the Plane.

Please Baby!!! Just one more time!!!! Bring us down just one more time.

After a few minutes he recognized that Samantha was still sitting in her Seat, doing nothing.

" Do you not want to call someone?" He asked her.

" No. I don´t have someone to call. " She answered.

" Really not? "

" Really not. My Parents are both dead and the rest of my Family had never shown some interest in me. And you?"

" Me nether. I didn´t even know someone of my family. I´m an orphan."

" OH.... I´m sorry. "

" Don´t feel sorry. You couldn't know it. "

" True.... Is the invitation for the pool drink still open?"

" Sure. "

" Then... If we manage it, then.... You can count me in. "

Deadly silence was then heard for 30 Minutes. In between Jeff came back to the Cockpit and set himself down on his Seat. Once the time was over and the Land was in sight, Martin took his Headphone and spoke to the passengers.

" Alright everyone. DOWN!!! DOWN!!! DOWN!!!! "

Next he spoke with Washington.

" Washington Center. AFC Heavy. We are starting to go down on the New York Bay. "

" AFC Roger....May God be with you Sir. "

" Thanks. "

Once said, Martin moved his right Paw over to the speed lever and moved them slowly backwards. Immediately, the Engines began to become slower and the plane began to drop.

" Sam. Give me the High. "

" 12000 Feet....10000 Feet... " Came back from her.

" Jeff. Stay ready to shut down everything on command. "

" Roger. " Was all Jeff said.

They kept on dropping until they reached...

" 5000 Feet.... "

An Alarm began to ring.

" To Low... Terrain!!! To Low, Terrain!!! "

" The Nose is to Low!!! " Jeff shouted.

" I know. I´m on it. "

" 4000 Feet... "

The next Alarm was heard.

" Over speed.... Over speed. "

Martin had pushed the engine speed quickly upwards but that he had done for a reason. He hoped that the plane would react by moving upwards with the Nose but still kept on dropping and luckily it did.

" 2000 Feet... We are to fast !!!!"

" Keep on telling me the High !!!"

" 1000 Feet .... 500.... "

" We are close to the Harbor !!!" Came from Jeff.

" OK...."

" 200.... "

A second later, a hard shock went through the plane.

The backside had touched the surface and the plane immediately reacted.

" We got contact !!!!"

" SHUT DOWN THE ENERGY !!!!"

" ALL OUT!!! ...... AAAAHHHHH !!!!"

The rest of the plane had hit the surface.

The plane began to scream and it produced a really big wave while it slowly began to lose speed. Inside the plane, the passengers were screaming and moving wildly in their seats just like the three in the Cockpit.

" WE ARE INSIDE THE HARBOR !!!!" Came from somewhere.

" WE ARE STILL TO FAST !!!"

" COME ON BABY!!!! STOP!!!! SSSTTTTOOOOOOPPPPP !!!!"

As if the Plane would respawn, it hardly stopped from one moment to another and everyone was pushed hardly forwards. The moment that followed would everyone later describe with only two Words. Deadly silence.

Jeff was the first of the three who said a word.

" A.... Are you all alright?"

" Y.... Yes.... I´m fine. " Came back from Samantha who was unharmed.

" Good. Martin? "

To be continue
