All through the night, young Goth Boy got absolutely no sleep. The storm and the thoughts of never being able to get to his friends filled his mind and kept him awake all night. Nonetheless morning came slowly but surely. Sunlight filled the inside of the diner and shone in everyone's eyes, waking them up. Goth Boy sat up in his portable bed and watched everyone except Tobor, who was awake all night since robots don't sleep, get up out their beds as well.
"It's morning already? That was fast." Vic said with a yawn. Goth Boy rolled his eyes at Vic's query. "I beg to differ." Tobor started making subtle conversation with Vic and Carl as he was making breakfast for everyone. Yuki was sitting on her bed fixing her messy hair. But then Yuki paused for a moment and stared into space. She looked as if she remembered something important.
"What is it, Yuki?" Goth Boy asked crawling over all the beds and finally sitting in front of her. "Yuki just remembered something!" she started with a huge grin on her face. "Yuki has her own submarine over at the boardwalk in the city! I used to use it for when I was working for Morcubus' business! How could Yuki have forgotten about it? We need to sail over to the boardwalk!"
Goth Boy was so ecstatic that he could barely contain himself. He gave Yuki the biggest hug and laughed so hard he couldn't breathe. "C-CARL! Did you hear what Yuki just said? She has a submarine in the city's boardwalk that we can use to get down to the hideout!"
Carl shot his arm into the air, causing it to fall off after a few seconds being a zombie and all. "Yes! That's perfect! We'll be able to get to the hideout in no time at all!" he exclaimed, putting his arm back into its socket.
Tobor smiled and put Carl, Goth Boy, and Yuki's breakfasts in Styrofoam containers and handed each of them their own box of food. "You guys probably wanna go right away, so take your breakfast with you. Be safe, ok? Don't get yourselves killed! You never know what tricks Matthew has got up his sleeve!"
"Thanks, Tobor." Goth Boy smiled. "We'll come back to visit you guys again too after I get all my friends back."
Tobor and Vic waved goodbye as the three left the diner and started to make their way back to their boat. They begun to walk past the laboratory until Dr. F bolted out the door. "WAIT, YOU THREE! There is something I'd like to give each of you before you leave!" The scientist gave each of them a gun. Goth Boy was alarmed and looked at Dr. F like he was insane. "Dr. F? What are these for? I've never used a gun!" he said with a hint of panic in his voice.
"Don't worry! I made these last night for your encounter with Matthew! It's always best to have a good weapon against him for when things get dicey. And who knows? He may feel threatened and become caught off-guard when you end up holding it to his head!" Dr. F said with a wicked laugh. "But anyway, have you got an idea on how to get down to the ocean floor where the hideout is?"
"Yep!" Yuki started, "Yuki remembered this morning that she has a submarine of her own at the boardwalk from when she worked for Morcucorp!"
"SPLENDID! You should have no problem then! Well, good luck to all of you! Come back to visit us again soon!"
The three smiled and waved to the scientist and walked to their boat. They jumped in and argued about who should steer, until Carl lost at a match of rock-paper-scissors and had to steer. Goth Boy and Yuki sat in the back and ate their breakfast of eggs and pancakes that Tobor made for them. After Goth Boy swallowed the last of his breakfast, he turned to Yuki. "So, where exactly at the boardwalk do you keep the submarine?"
"Well, when Yuki worked for Morcucorp, they dug a cave-type place in the wall of a huge rock mass towards the north side of the beach. They had a bunch of computers and stuff installed in there for whatever work had to be done and the right in the middle of the room was my submarine!"
Carl looked back at the two and asked Yuki, "What the hell did you do with a submarine, though?"
Yuki laughed nervously. "W-well, uh, I found out later that they just kinda bribed with it so I would work with Morcucorp. Yuki really, really wanted one so I said yes to working with them. Yuki never did any work with it, Yuki just drove it around underwater for the hell of it. This was a long time ago, though. Yuki doesn't work for them anymore, but I still have the sub!"
Carl shook his head and looked forward again. Within about two hours, they'll have made it to the city boardwalk.
Sure enough, about two hours later they made it. Yuki tied to boat to the post of the dock after they all got out. "Ok, let's go!" she exclaimed as she lead the other two up the stairs of the boardwalk. There they saw Luke, Chaz, Tim, Justice, and Chef Watanabe who, of course, Yuki stopped to talk to for a few minutes. Goth Boy looked at the turkey-on-a-fork stand and sighed. Carl glanced over at him, "What? What's wrong with you?"
Goth Boy laughed silently and said, "Uh, is it weird that I actually applied to work the turkey-on-a-fork stand for this summer? I needed the money and no one else was hiring…"
Carl burst into hysterics and made Goth Boy cringe and blush with embarrassment. "Shut up, man." But after Yuki was finished saying hello to everyone, she led them up a ramp on the northern-most side of the beach and then helped hoist them up the wall and into the cave. "Welp, there it is!" she proudly said with her hands on her hips. "My Yuki sub!"
Carl and Goth Boy looked around at the other equipment, which is now out of order, and then right to the submarine. Carl smiled, "Wow, Yuki, that's impressive! How did you learn how to drive that in the first place, eh?" Yuki opened the hatch at the top and climbed in, "Morcucorp taught me! Now get it!"
The two boys nodded and jumped in with her and closed the hatch tightly. "Alright, you guys ready?" Goth Boy sat in the seat in the front next to Yuki. "Yep! I'm ready! How about you, Carl?" Carl sat in a seat behind Yuki and fastened his seat belt, although he probably didn't need it. "Good to go!"
Yuki started the submarine up and lowered it into the sea. "Alright Then here we go!" And off they went at full speed in search of the hideout.
