Hate summer's heat...

"Behind you!" Haru shouted. Rachel quickly turned around and saw a yellow figure looking fish leap out of the water and jump towards her. A loud BANG, was heard,Haru shot the yellow fish figure in the mouth as it fell back into the water, screaming in pain before dying. "Quickly!" shouted Haru. Rachel nodded and headed towards the next door that headed out of the water and into another room. Finally able to catch their breaths, but their rest was short as the mutated fish came flying towards them. "Shiiiit! Forgot these things don't need water to breath!" shouted Haru. "Haru! Look! A ladder!" shouted Rachel, pointing to a ladder. They both quickly climbed up the ladder as the fishes jumped up and down with their jaws wide open. "Heh, looks like we both saved each other eh?" asked Haru. "I still owe you two more." Said Rachel. Haru turned his head to see what was ahead of him, a huge gear in front of him. "Uh...Jill?" asked Haru. "This is Jill." She answered. "We found a gear...a huge gear, but looks like, its missing something in the middle." Said Haru. "Looks like its missing a Cog in the middle." Said Rachel. "Roger, will do something on our end, continue searching the ship." Said Jill. "Nothings ever easy for us huh Jill?" asked Parker. "So you think turning these things will do anything?" asked Jill who was looking at a pressure gauge. Jill looked at a lever and pulled it down. "You sure you know what your doing?" Parker asked. The steam pipe next to them that was running hot steam turned off as the other steam pipe below turned off. "Finally getting somewhere." Said Parker. "You think this ship will sink?" asked Rachel who was walking along side Haru. "Dunno, this ships pretty big, and if it was sinking, it would've sinked long time ago." Said Haru. "But what if-" "You're too paranormal Rachel." Said Haru, interrupting Rachel.

"Well, I DID almost die, more than once!" complained Rachel as she heared Rachel laughing. "Haru, are you there?" spoke a voice. "Yep, what's up?" responded Haru. "If you see any pressure gauges around pull the lever down." Said Rachel. "Uh...sure." said Haru. Haru and Rachel reached a nearby door which contained water in the same height as before. "Man, this boat is done for sure." Said Haru, but then regretted it. "...You suck at lying." Said Rachel. Parker fired shots at the incoming mutated fishes and yellow figure as Jill turned the valve. "Done!" said Jill. The steam pipe that was next to them turned off while mutated fishes still wondered the room. They quickly got out of the room with the mutated fishes. "Man...I had enough of those things." Said Parker. "Haru...how's things on your end?" Jill asked, catching her breath. "Just turned a lever down and a steam pipe just down." Said Haru. "Great." Said Jill. "Jill, I think that should be all of them." Said Parker. "O.K. let's go back to the control room." Said Jill. While making their way to the room, they ran into Haru and Rachel. "We found the cog and got a key for something." Said Haru. "We looked everywhere, but couldn't find where this key belongs." Said Rachel. "Good Job, we know where this belongs." Said Parker. Haru and Rachel followed Jill back to the control room as Parker went across the other side of the room and inserted the key. "On three." Said Jill. "One, two...Three!"

shouted Parker. They both turned the key at the same time and on a nearby monitor with a map of the boat with red lights everywhere, suddenly turned greed. "There, good as new." Said Parker. But it was shortly celebrated, a loud blaring was heard throught the room, making all the doors locked. "What the!" said Parker, looking around. "Shit! We've been setup!" said Haru. "This can't be good..." said Rachel. A huge rush of water came from one of the water pipes, then another from a nearby pipe. Haru looked around the room. "Shit! There's no way out! And at this rate, this room will be full with water!" the water quickly rose to their feet. "There's just no way out!" shouted Rachel. Parker tried forcing the doors to open, but they wouldn't budge nor open. The water was now to their chests. "Shit! There's nothing we could do, and I don't think Mr. Veltro isn't going to let us go so easily." Said Haru. "I think we're going to have to let this room fill up, I think we can try to pry our way out up there." Said Jill as she spotted a broken crowbar. Haru looked up and saw their only way out. "It's risky, but its worth it." Said Haru.
