Question Segment #3
ArchieScotts: Why do you need so many random questions?

DarkCyberWolf: The question segment establishes that I do answer any and all questions about the story, so it can be helpful for readers who are just wondering. It's also great for ideas.

CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE OF DOOM
Megan hit Caitlyn with O̱mí̱ dýnami̱ and knocked her down the stairs into the lower deck.

Caitlyn ran down deeper as Megan followed. She tossed O̱mí̱ dýnami̱ again, only for Caitlyn to slam it back at her with Sfyrí.

"You think nobody's ever done that?" Megan asked, catching the coin easily. "I know how to catch my own weapon when it comes back to me."

She tossed the coin again. This time, it landed in Caitlyn's hand. "You're not the only one who can catch.

Megan smiled. O̱mí̱ dýnami̱ seemed to gravitate toward her, pulling at Caitlyn's hand as she held it. Eventually she opened her hand and let the coin fly back to Megan. There were a few scrapes on Caitlyn's hand there.

"You have no tricks," Megan gloated. "Nobody knows better than me how O̱mí̱ dýnami̱ works."

Caitlyn clenched her teeth. That coin gave her an edge in long-range combat, whereas Sfyrí was meant for short-range. She needed a way to get past her defenses and into short-range...

Caitlyn started running away, while Megan followed. Downstairs, around a corner...

Megan followed her until she arrived at Noatak's keel. "Where are you hiding?"

"I'm not hiding," Caitlyn said, jumping from the shadows and slamming Sfyrí into Megan. "I was luring you right into a trap. This is where we keep cannonballs for Noatak's cannon."

"Cannonballs may be deadly when fired, but not without the cannon," Megan pointed out.

Caitlyn picked up a cannonball from the ground. "Let's test that theory, shall we? Sfyrí!" She swung her hammer and slammed the cannonball straight at Megan. The coin wouldn't be dense enough to stop it...

The cannonball slammed into Megan and pushed her back a few feet.

"Nothing I can't handle," Megan said, only slightly wincing. Caitlyn was impressed with her willpower, but kept focused on the matter at hand.

Megan stepped forward a single step... and fell into darkness.

"That hole was initially meant for pipes," Caitlyn explained. "So that in case of emergency, Noatak could siphon water from the ocean and purify it through simple filters later in the pipe system. Long story short, it didn't get finished. You may know how O̱mí̱ dýnami̱ works... but nobody knows more than I do about the S. S. Noatak."

Caitlyn carefully climbed down and covered the hole with some lumber, leaving Megan underneath the boat. Caitlyn herself went back up to the upper decks to face Edison.
