Narrator's POV

In the matter of minutes, the ship was overrun with hundreds of the undead.

Many of the passengers were overwhelmed by the creatures.

But, within a first class hallway, Elizabeth Midford was running and holding Sieglinde's hand.

Due to the sinking of the ship, water had flooded through some of the windows and left their gowns soaking wet.

And, in addition to making them cold, the water was weighing down their dresses.

"We have to get our dresses off." Sieglinde said, panting

Lizzy's face flushed, "B-But that is not proper-"

Not listening to the blonde's protests, the German girl ripped Lizzy's gown and untied her bustle and petticoats, leaving her in just a corset, bloomers and chemise.

Sieglinde them did the same to herself, tossing the removed clothing aside.

Looking up, she noticed the taller girl was in tears.

"What is wrong?" Sieglinde asked, "Did I hurt you?"

"I-I wanted to be cute for you, I did not want our limited time together to be marred by my unfeminine talents." The blonde cried, revealing two sabres, "But, I will protect you now! I am the daughter of the of the leader of the British Knights, Marquess Alexis Leon Midford."

Stabbing the two undead that entered the hallway, Lizzy cleared a path for her love to walk through.

They ran through the maze like hallways, the living girl killing the undead in their path to the decks.

It took awhile, but eventually they made their way into the deck and approached the life boats.

Lizzy gasped when she saw her brother directing the crowd, making sure women and children boarded the life boats first.

"Brother!" Lizzy shouted, getting Edward's attention

The blond male turned to face her, "Lizzy!"

He encompasses his sister in a hug, "I am so glad you are okay! Quick, get onto a lifeboat."

Lizzy turned to look for the black haired girl she had come here with, ready to lead her to safety, but she was gone.

"Sieglinde!" Lizzy yelled, looking for her frantically

But, Edward was not giving her an option to run back into the undead infested ship and placed her onto a lowering life boat.

Elizabeth sobbed, looking for a way back up so she could save her love.

But there was none as the lifeboat she was in was laid onto the icy waters of the sea.

She prayed Sieglinde had gotten on another lifeboat, not wanting to even entertain the possibility one of those monsters had grabbed her while she had reunited with her brother.

With the ship prepared to sink and the Bizarre Dolls released, Undertaker began to head to the boiler room to fetch his grandsons and take them to the hidden lifeboat he had prepared for them.

It was rather disappointing he had not stumbled across his daughter and son-in-law to reveal himself as the mastermind behind the Aurora Society —as that was the purpose behind this whole affair— but the cards had not fallen that way it seemed.

He was halfway through first class in his decent down to the boiler room when he heard a voice calling for him.

"Explain yourself, Undertaker!" Rian shouted, running towards the reaper, "You said I could control those corpses with with device but when I activated it nothing happened!"

"Did I truly?" Undertaker asked, tapping his lip with a finger

Rian's eyes widened, "So you tricked me? Was it all a lie?! Even the part about sailing to America to deliver absolute salvation...everything?!"

"Well, you see, I found it very comical that you were earnestly trying to resurrect the dead via medical science." The white haired reaper shrugged

"And what of our singular desire to bring the whole world into health and well-being through medicine?!" The doctor asked, shocked

"That was your desire, besides, you are not capable of bringing the dead back to life by the power of the medical knowledge in your grasp." Undertaker informed, "It all ceased to be medicine the moment you began to depend on my techniques. One who conducts procedures on his patients that he himself does not understand can no longer call himself a physician."

Rian's eyes widened and he froze in shock.

Undertaker pat his head like one would a dog, "You were a good natured lad, naively buying all I said without question. You were the perfect person for my purposes, the perfect person to take the fall."

The reaper lifted Rian by his shirt collar and held him over the railing and over the array of Bizarre Dolls below.

"And in this case, I do mean it quite literally." Undertaker laughed

Without a second thought, he dropped the doctor and walked towards the boiler room where his grandsons were waiting.

The last thing he heard as he left the room was the crack of Rian's bones and his screams as he was eaten alive.

***

He arrived in the boiler room just as the ship cracked in half.

Ignoring the tilting of the ship and keeping his balance, he made his way to the coffin holding his prized grandsons.

Unlacing the corsets holding it shut, he removed the lid.

Expecting to be greeted by the twins upset at him for running late, he was shocked as they attempted to tackle him and bite his exposed flesh.

Laughing a bit as they failed to rip his skin, he attempted to soothe them as he carried them to the arranged lifeboat.

A few tears rolled down his cheeks as his grandsons behave like the rest of the failed Bizarre Dolls all other the ship.

But he ignored his sadness, keeping a smile on his face as he laughed at their failed bites and scratching...
