Chapter 1
Rikku wiped the rain from her goggles as she looked over the side of the boat, then moving her goggles down her face and over her eyes. She loved doing this - who wouldn't? Gathering lost pieces of technology from the depths of the sea must be the greatest thing in the world - well, except for flying, of course.
She put her sound transmitter over her mouth and got ready to jump. She gave the thumbs up to Brother and jumped over the side, diving through the surface of the water.
She saw the chain from the ship to the mysterious object and began to follow it. She had unlimited oxygen because of the invention her father had made which was now on her back. It gathered water inside of it, and destroyed all the atoms of hydrogen, so all that was left was oxygen. It was a pretty nifty invention, and Rikku was always impressed by her father.
A couple of pirahnas came towards her, but she took out her knife and killed them quickly, then carrying on. She eventually got to the object and entered inside of it, where she could see blurs of objects inside.
She swam forward and began to hit on a panel, and as she did so the light on the panel glowed and she pressed a button on it. She knew what this was now - it was an airship!
A door she had not seen a second ago opened up in front of her and lights all over the airship turned on. She swam through the opening and into the engine room, where she saw a lot of pirahnas. She knew how to get rid of these - easily.
She pulled out a grenade, and banged on the wall so that they would gather together like they always do when against something. She then pulled out the pin and threw it at them. They exploded in a fury of fish guts which splatted against the wall.
She began to explore the airship more, looking at every single detail and at how much work the creator had put into it. She had to admit, it was nearly as good as the ones she had saw her father make before.
She looked at her fingertips and saw they were wrinkled and pale. Noone that she knew actually knew why that happened. It's just something that people can't explain, like why we can make machines, when God has never made one, and supposedly people were meant to have eaten from the Tree of Knowledge, or whatever it was called.
She swam forward and eventually found what she was looking for: the power source.
She went forward and banged on the source and at that moment all the lights in the airship went on.
"Koot fung, Neggi," came the voice of Brother through the sound of transmitter, "lusa pylg huf."
"Ugyo," Rikku replied.
She turned around and began to swim back, put when she turned she came face-to-face with what appeared to be a giant squid.
"Lnyb..." Rikku muttered to herself.
She took out her knife and hit the squid square in the face with it. It ejected ink from one of it's tentacles and then whipped Rikku with it, sending her flying across the room. Luckily the impact wasn't hurtful as she was underwater.
She took out three grenades and went flying at the squid, dodging it's tentacle she took the pins out and threw them into three of it's tentacles.
She swam backwards and watched.
First the squid looked confused, then outraged, then eventually it blew up, leaving its eyes floating in the water.
She swam past it's remains feeling pleased with herself, but sad that she had to waste her grenaded on a squid. She swam back up and climbed back on board.
"Bimm id ib," she said to Brother,, drying herself off with a towel.
