[ IP ] Leviathan

The ocean exploded. Jim Thompson, TV Three news reporter, and passenger of the Apache could think of no better way to describe the event, and so that's exactly what he said into the live microphone. As if things could n't get any worse, the giant beast that rose from the waters surface sent a gale outward. TV One's helicopter spiralled away and into the blue depths below. Jim could n't help but smile at the crash. Getting rid of TV One gave him the chance to do what he'd always wanted: capture the story of the century.

 `` Get in real close, Wanda!'' Jim screeched in his thick southern accent. 
 
 Wanda used all of her strength to keep the controls still. Yet the helicopter shook in a way that made her teeth chatter and her knuckles go white. `` I'm trying Jim, I really am.'' 
 
 Jim slammed open the helicopter door and turned to the camera man who was also in the passenger area. He ignored Wanda's screams -something unimportant about stabilising the chopper. Jim wiped water from his face and began his report. `` What you see here ladies an-'' 
 
 The chopper swung downward and a beeping noise screeched from the cockpit. `` Fly Wanda, bloody fly, woman!'' 
 
 To anyone watching, Wanda looked like she was fighting against an excorcism. Really, she was trying to keep the heli upright. `` Close the *fucking* door!'' she said. 
 
 `` Hell nah! You ai n't ruinin my moment,'' Jim said, turning back to the camera man. `` What we have here is an enormous overgrown sea monster.'' He placed a hand to his ear, on a non-existent earpiece. `` The boys back at base are giving me the latest - what's that, Joel? - they've traced its DNA to a species of silver-tuna.'' 
 
 The camera man looked up from behind his lens. `` Err... What?'' 
 
 Jim gave him a stern look -do n't fuck with me. `` And they say the beast is after humans specifically, it survives on a diet of our bones.'' 
 
 The camera man pushed the Cannon down. `` Okay, now you're just making shit up, man.'' 
 
 Jim leaped forward wrestling the camera from his hands. No one would take his star moment from him. `` Give- that -here.'' 
 
 The helicopter rocked again. Wanda was now halfway up the seat with her hands and legs on the controls. The beast outside gave a massive roar and water soaked the helicopter. Jim was jolted from the impact. He managed to pull the camera free, bounced off the helicopters wall, and went soaring outside. 
 
 Jim angled the camera at his face at the last moment. `` My name is Jim Thompson and this is three news!'' 
 
 The beast clamped its jaws shut.
