Chapter 3

"Shit, we're under attack!" Kanda hissed when the sub was collided against something. The alarms flared and all of the lihts turned red as an alert to people that something was wrong.

"All units to the sub pods!" Lulubell commanded. The uniformed soldiers that had boardd the sub earlier ran to the sub pod hangar. Lavi grabbed Kanda by the arm and pulled him towards the windshield that over looked the waters floor. But what they saw was not the flor but what looked like a stone lobster thing with glowing turqouise patterns. At the center of the lobster thing were two short clawlike arms that had small tubes running along them; betwen the two claws arms was a ball of the turqouise light growing into a ball.

"Fuck. Usagi what the hell is that thing?!" Kanda yelled over the sirens that were blasting through the sub.

"Don't think I'm crazy Yuu-chan but that looks like a machine. It's gotta be the leviathan!" Lavi exclaimed with a mix of both horror and excitement. Kanda felt his eyebrow twitching in annoyance.

"Usagi! What the fuck is a Leviathan!?" Kanda growled in anger. Lavi in turn gave Kanda a rather surprised look before registering that he forgot to mention the Leviathan in his speech about Atlantis.

"The Leviathan is a giant sea monster that is said to prtoce the gateways to te lost empire of Atlantis. I thought is was just a stone statue to frighten people, not a living...well seemingly living monstrousity that would attack us!" Lavi exclaimed before turning tail and running for the sub pods, Kanda 'che'd' before running after Lavi. Lenalee on the other hand was running through the machinery trying her best to fix the broken part because of the collosion. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Lenalee deemed the sub unfixable.

Running up to an intercom; Lenalee turns it on and starts shouting for everybody to evacuate the subs and ead for the sub pods. The Millenium Earl is lead by Lulubell nto one of the larger sub pods followed colsely by Lavi, Kanda, Komui, Krory, a woman with brown slightly curled hair, a man with tanned skin and black curly hair, a girl with blue spikey hair, a fatass (Chaoji (1)), Tiedoll, and lastly Lenalee. The other sub pods were filled with the armed men and a few other people.

"Lulubell, get us out of here!" the Millenium Earl exlaimed. Lulubell nodded and pulled a lever that opened the hatch to exit the submarine. As all of the sub pods came out of the submarine, everyne witnessed the Leviathan pull the submarine apart into two pieces.

"Bookman! Where do we go now?!" Lulubell yelled back to the passengers. Lavi looked up and started looking through his journal of research that he had taken with him. Flipping through the pages, the red head found a page that showed a crevice that went deep nto the ocean.

"We're looking a gorge that will take us down." Lavi shouted back. The Leviathan spotted all of the sub pods heading towards a crevice and the machine was reenergized with the will to protect as it chased after the pods. The pods dippd into the crevice and tried their best to avoid the laser beams of turqouise that spouted from the Leviathan's mouth. As soon as they turned down a few more angles, the pods were safe from the Leviathan and found that they were in shallow water. The pods surfaced and Lulubell opened the cockpit to have a look around.

Kanda stood at the shore of the cavern that the pods had surfaced in, alongside him were about one fourth of the rew that he had seen earlier in the trip. Lenalee, who was to his right, was crying over the loss of over four hundred people. Lavi was looking down with a sad expression as Komui placed a single candle onto the water to pray for the deceased.

"We started this with many fine men, we were all that survived. From now on everyone pitches in, no one slacks off." the Millenium Earl commaned before letting everybody grab onto what they could and putting it into the only salvagable vehicle that they could get from the sub pods.

Kanda 'che'd' and walked up to the front of the line. Lavi opened up his journal and began to jot things down while Lenalee checked on the engine of the vehicle. Before long, the group was ready to move out.

Over the next week, the explorers went through many caves with strange oriential patterns and carvingsof people holding a necklace. Lavi was busy copying all of the art and writing down facts and observations about the surroundings. Lenalee on the other hand had been busy trying to maintain all of the machinery along with taming her brother when a man came near her.

Kanda was at the front of the line when he spotted an opening in the tunnel that they had been traveling in for the past two days. Unsheathing Mugen, Kanda was the first to come out to make sure that nothing dangerous was out there waiting to devour the unsuspecting prey. But what he saw was something that would change his thought entirely.

All along the floor lay skeletons that had to be over 10,000 years old. The skeletons were in positions of embraces and other forms of keeping themselves close, almost as if they had died knowing what was to come. When Lavi came out he instantly ran to the nearest skeleton.

"Lenalee, Yuu-chan! Come over here quickly!" Lavi exclaimed. Lenalee ran over followed by Kanda who slowly went over, knowing that the redhead didn't need him immedately. When he got there, he noticed something right away. The skeleton was cuddling a smaller skeleton, most likely the child of the skeleton.

"What do you think could have caused all of these people to die?" Lenalee asked, a sense of sadness shown throughout her gentle features. Lavi shook his head to show that he did not know what exactly killed the people that littered the cavern floor.

"Well, lets get a move on. As soon as we pass this sea of skeletons, we'll make camp. 3" the Earl said as he slowly made his way through the bones. Lulubell nodded before following her master.

"Move it people, sometime today would be nice." Lulubell yelled over her shoulder.
