Unfortunately Danny was unable to hold much excitement in as he stood at the side of the ship and well…lost his lunch. For the past fifteen minutes he had been throwing up feeling a little sea sick. Today was the day they were going to launch the submarine and begin the expedition to find Atlantis, he was wearing a red and white t-shirt with a black long-sleeved shirt underneath it along with jeans and brown combat boots, and he was also wearing the jacket Jazz had given him.
"Carrots…Why is there always carrots? I didn't even eat carrots" Danny groaned trying to fight the migraine coming on.
"Attention. All hands to the launch bay" A woman announced over the speakers.
Danny picked up his ruck sack and headed back inside the ship where they were loading all the vehicles that would be coming with them on the journey. Danny then saw a woman near a car, so he walked up to her and asked, "Excuse me? Do you know where I need to report in?"
The woman turned around and revealed herself to be Ember MacLaine with her guitar which was practically her weapon on her back and wearing a jacket over her clothes. She smirked and said, "Yes Mr Fenton"
Danny was about to say something when suddenly a female ghost named Lunch Lady floated down near her food car and said with a frown, "Ember we need to talk"
"Hold that thought" Ember said and then faced Lunch Lady. "What is it this time Lunch Lady?"
"You stocked me with non-essentials! I mean what the heck is this?" Lunch Lady asked as she held up a lettuce.
"That would be lettuce. It's a vegetable" Ember said. "We all need the four basic food groups"
"I got your four basic food groups! Porterhouse, rib eye, chicken and fish!" Lunch Lady shouted completely offended by the vegetables.
An alarm went off, Ember then said shoving the lettuce back into Lunch Lady's hands, "Alright pack it up and move it out!"
"Attention all hands to the launch bay! Final loading in progress" The woman announce once again over the speakers.
Danny followed all the men to the large elevator, they all then went down and Danny was amazed to see the large submarine if full size. He was walking off the elevator platform slowly, but stopped as he felt something behind him bump into him.
"Uh dude? Do you mind walking a bit faster?" An African American boy about Danny's age asked with three large boxes full of stuff. Danny turned to face him and then moved out of the way, he recognised the person as Tucker Foley the technical genius and demolition expert from the files Jazz had.
Danny then said as held a stick of dynamite nervously, "Uh…excuse me? You dropped your uh dynamite"
Tucker stopped and grabbed the stick of dynamite from him as he then asked, "Uh what else have you got in there?"
"Oh uh…gun powder, PDA's, nitro glycerine, fuses, wicks, laptop, glue and camera drones" Tucker answered. "Just the usual office supplies"
Danny nodded and then Tucker moved on. Danny then heard Jazz call out, "Danny over here!"
Danny walked over to his sister who was walking with a pale white ghost wearing a warden's suit. He smiled as Jazz introduced him, "I want you to meet Commander Walker. He led the Iceland team that brought the journal back"
Walker continued to smile as he shook Danny's hand and said, "Daniel Fenton. It's a pleasure to meet the son of Jack. I see you got that journal, nice pictures but I prefer my good old rule book myself"
"This is amazing Jazz" Danny said in awe. "When you settle a bet, you settle a bet"
"Well dad always did believe that you can't put a price on the pursuit of knowledge" Jazz said.
"Attention all personal. Launch will commence in fifteen minutes" The woman announced.
"Well Danny that's our cue. Ms Fenton" Walker saluted and then walked on board.
"Bye Jazz" Danny said as he gave Jazz one last hug and then entered the submarine.
"Good luck Danny" Jazz called out as the large doors closed.
"All set for launch" A sailor called out.
"Lieutenant MacLaine, take us down" Walker commanded. Ember nodded and commanded the crew, "Diving officers, submerge the ship. Make her depth 150 feet"
The crew got to work and in just a matter of minutes, the submarine was released from ship and began diving. Danny watched them go deeper and deeper into the water through the large window at the front of the sub, he couldn't believe that it was really happening. They had just begun the adventure of a lifetime.
