Sorry it took me so long—I lost my inspiration for a little bit…

Anyway, still DO NOT OWN MARTIN MYSTERY!

MMM

"That was a big waste of time," Martin commented, kicked at a pebble on the front stoop of Angus's store. "He didn't even know what took his daughter. 'She went outside to play, but she didn't come back. I went to look for her, but she wasn't responding to my calls; all I heard was a horse whinnying,'" Martin imitated mockingly.

April glared at her temporary partner. "Actually, Angus was super helpful."

"How so?" Diana questioned. "He couldn't tell us anything."

"Except about the horse!" Martin finally realized. "Of course!" He glanced at April. "No wonder they teamed you up with me—you're good."

April rolled her eyes. "Let's just look up 'horse' and 'Scotland' in the Legendex. I have a theory about what it might be—I'm pretty familiar with the legends and creatures around here."

"Alright!" Martin exclaimed, raising his arm to activate his U-Watch. But before he could, he heard another mechanical female voice say:

"U-Watch activated; Legendex selected."

Martin turned toward April, whose U-Watch, which had been hidden by her sleeve, was producing a holographic 3D square—the Legendex. "You have a U-Watch?!" Martin asked incredulously.

April nodded. "Let's see…horses…Scotland…oh yeah! Here's my guess!" April poked a finger at the Legendex, selecting the legend of her choice. "Each Uisge, or Water Horse in English, is a shape-shifter, usually choosing to shape-shift into a large white stallion. However, anything that comes into contact with the Water Horse's skin is stuck fast, whether it be human or not. When something is stuck to it's skin, it retreats back to the loch from whence it came with its victim, caging them in an underground cave. After about two weeks, from most reports, the Water Horse gets bored with the victim and drowns it, leaving only its liver to be washed ashore."

"That sounds like a good fit…albeit a gross one," Diana noted.

April looked up from her U-Watch, frightened, yet determined. "If my theory about this is correct, and a Water Horse is what we're dealing with, then we have to find those missing people—and fast."

"Where look first?" Java asked. "In lake?"

"No." April shook her head. "Looking in the lake is way too dangerous."

"April's right," Martin said, smiling a little bit as he said her name. "We'd be walking right into its clutches; we need to bring it to us."

"Hmm…" April frowned, thinking. "That'll work." With that, she dashed off into the fog.

"Hey!" Diana cried indignantly. "Where did she go? April!"

"Uh, oh," Java gasped. "Fog coming!"

Martin gulped. "Java's right, Di. The fog's rolling in; if we move without April, we'll fall right into the lake—we'll be Water Horse-bait!"

"April!" Diana screamed. "Help us!"

A few feet away but covered by the thick fog, April listened to the trio's cries for help. She bit her lip and closed her eyes. "Sorry, guys," she whispered. Then she crouched behind a tree and…waited.
