Cain split the two Firestorm brothers crews to assist between Mr. Agons and his own hunting crews. Two boats to one whale was always a good idea and for the bigger one it would be upwards of all four to one whale. Cain looked over the pod and selected a large killer whale out of the pod a big bull "follow that one! Stretch it out!" he ordered and both his cutter and Rizlands boats began chasing the orca at an angle.

As Cain's cutter closed in on the massive bull killer whale Cain rose hefted his harpoon and threw it letting it fly in a high arc and it drove it self all the way to the haft into the killer whale. The killer whale performed a rolling turn and charged the cutter pulling fathoms of line came hissing through the eye of the rope guide and then went slack as the orca charged Cain's boat. The killer whale hit the cutter causing it to capsize the line attached to the the killer whale wrapped around Cains leg and he was pulled under.

The killer whale decided to dive with Cain attached as the experienced sea captain maintained his composure. The problem at hand was that he could not hold his breath as long as the killer whale, even a wounded one. The solution was easy in theory just grab another breath but in practice nearly forty feet below the surface now it was quite tricky. Reaching into the rope that worked as his belt he retrieved a knife and began cutting at the line binding his leg. The line gave way and Cain scrambled back to the surface. After a rasping gasp for air precious air he looked around and gathered a count of his personal crew.

Two of his rowers were being helped by Rizland Firestorm and his crew while the other two rowers and MR. Grimhand were already working to right the cutter. Cain swam to his cutter and ordered "Heave! Heave like your lives depend on it!" cause in all honesty their lives all depended on it.

The killer whale came around for another charge "harpoon!" Cain shouted over to the near by Firestorms boat, Rizland pitched over a harpoon and immediately upon catching the harpoon Cain rifled it at the charging bull killer well. The spear struck home and forced the whale into retreat dragging the Firestorms boat along with it while Cains rowers got back into position, retrieved their oars and started pulling towards the killer whale.
