I know I've been gone for a short while, you can blame exams for that. But I'm back now! And here's a new chapter, for the 5 or so of you that still read this.

Artemis and Holly dethatched faster than the speed of light as the blaring white noise pierced their tranquillity. The room was illuminated a blood red as the alarms lights flashed around them.
" Scheiße" Artemis said out loud to himself, and Butler, who had been patiently watching and listening to Artemis and Holly's exchange, this time slapped him across the face. Holly reminded herself to remember this moment every time Artemis complained about someone swearing.
"Computer run diagnostics" Artemis shouted into the air.
"Hull breach detected" An electronic voice echoed out from above. "Depressurisation threat imminent."
"What does that mean?" Holly asked.
"We're at the bottom of the ocean- the pressure down here is far higher than atmospheric and Aquaria Major has to be correctly pressurised to stop the entire base from imploding. If the hull has been breached, that means the pressurisation seal has been broken."
"It means we have to get out of here, fast" Butler added.
"There are two things that would cause something like this. Either Aquaria Major was already seriously damaged, or it means somebody is trying to get in."
"You think it could be the people responsible for the disappearance of the crew?"
"If it is" Artemis said, "Then I don't want to be here when they show up."
Butler didn't allow Artemis to do any more talking, instead grabbing him and hauling him out of the room. Holly quickly followed.
"If we go right at the next bend it should take us all the way down to elevator number 2." Artemis shouted, causing Butler to suddenly change his course. The corridor here was much the same as the other ones they had walked down, with a glass wall to one side of them. What Holly hadn't seen was the pair of large cracks following her through that glass.
"The way ahead is blocked off" She said, stopping. Beside her, the two cracks finally joined each other, splintering the glass.
"Holly!" Artemis shouted, getting free of Butler's grasp just in time to push her out of the way as the concentrated jet of water burst through the splintered glass. As Holly crashed to the floor the jet hit Artemis square in the chest, throwing him against the opposite wall like a ragdoll. Holly, regaining her senses, crawled to Artemis' side.
"He's broken a couple of ribs" She called out to Butler.
"You don't say" Artemis replied hazily, but stopped when he began coughing up blood.
"It's OK Artemis, I can heal you. Just hang on."
"Not here Holly" Butler shouted. "This place is flooding fast, we have to find somewhere else." Carefully he picked Artemis off the floor, and led Holly back down the corridor. This time they decided to follow it all the way back, and eventually came to a small opening.
"You are an idiot Artemis" Butler said, "We need to seal ourselves in."
Holly thought about questioning his logic, but the water was reaching them quickly, so she did as he asked, punching in a few commands to the central computer. As the great metal blast doors began to close, Butler set Artemis down. Holly moved over beside him, and, letting her hands feel out the major break points in his ribs, let the magic flow into his body. Soon, his body had repaired itself sufficiently to feel normal, but Holly could never be certain with internal injuries. She could only hope.

When Artemis opened his eyes, he was not in the same place that he was when he closed them.
"Where are we?" He asked.
"We're not entirely sure" Holly replied, so Artemis reached into his pocket to pull out the map again. He felt a bit sore, but otherwise OK. "But we had to seal ourselves in here because the corridor was flooding."
Artemis looked through the window in the blast door, which was now completely submerged in water. Suddenly the entire floor began to tremor violently, and the corridor they had just been walking through exploded into thousands of pieces of floating debris.
"Aquaria Major is breaking up" He said, still staring. "It's finished."
"Then we have to move, now" Butler urged.
"The only elevator not on that side of the base is the one inside the loading docks" Artemis said, hauling himself up. "That is where we'll have to go."
Butler didn't even wait for Artemis to have fully stood up before grabbing him and hauling him out of the door. Holly could never tell whether Artemis was appreciative of Butler manhandling him or not, but he never put up much resistance, save for a couple of minutes ago.
"Through there" Artemis said, pointing to a set of open double doors. When they went through them, they found themselves in a vast expanse of crates and boxes.
"So this is where they keep all of their new supplies" Holly said. "That's a lot of stuff."
"Some of it is just for general maintenance" Artemis said, Butler having now put him down. "With a base this big, you can get through a lot of product."
"Which way to the elevator Artemis?" Butler asked, impatient to get back to the surface.
"Over there, by the loading crane." He replied. Butler began walking towards the target destination, but when he passed a large set of crates, something darted out from behind them, catching him in the back and nearly flooring him. Gathering himself, he stared at it indignantly; He may not have recognised it, but Artemis and Holly most certainly did.
"Surely that isn't..." Holly began.
"I think it is" Artemis finished. "But how did one of Flower Kevoor's robots get down here?"
Butler meanwhile was still staring down the robot, but eventually, having assessed the situation, the robot brought its gun arm up, ready to fire. Artemis decided in that moment to charge at the robot and jump onto it. As soon as he made contact with the droid's metal surface, 50000 Volts of electricity began coursing through the robot's circuits. It attempted to fight back, but under the increasing electrical pressure, all of its shots were wildly off the mark. After a few more seconds, it ceased moving, and dropped to the floor once Artemis had dropped off of it.
"We need to get to that elevator" Holly insisted, just as a pair of boxes exploded behind them. She could see yet another robot in the background, gun arm already in action.
"Not possible" Artemis said, "It's blocking off the escape route."
"I'll sort it" Butler said. He pulled a large revolver out of his waistband and fired two rounds that went straight through the robot's torso, just as a stream of laser fire burst a couple of pipes behind them. The robot swivelled a little bit, before falling to the ground in a mechanical heap. Holly, Artemis and Butler were already on the move when another pair of robots appeared infront of them. Butler prepared to fire again when there was a large clang behind them. Instinctively, Holly reached to the back of her head. By the time she saw her hand was covered in blood, she was already falling to the floor.

We're all set for phase 2. What happens next is... Well, you'll just have to find out for youself.
