Looming under the Ocean are sharks, fish and other sea creatures. The
deeper you got the more creepy the beings might become. However it can
always get worse because most often you see these creatures on television,
not right next to you. Unless you're a deep sea diver. Either way it's
not what most would like to see when they wake up after a nap.
Kaia was the first to wake up. The water was up to her ankles. As she shook her friends she noticed the beautiful and deadly sight of a shark swim by them. Instinctively she ducked.
"Naomi, Gabe wake up! We have an emergency major!" The first word out of his mouth was a curse.
"Shit. How the hell did we get here?"
"We were transported and now we're at the bottom of a body of water."
Gabe looked at her, she just put her hands up. They were thrown to the side by something huge. Pushing their prison a hundred feet across the ocean.
"Don't kill the messenger, I'm just guessin'." She said putting her hands up defensively.
She looked at her wrist and realized the manacle had been cut off. 'Thank goddess. At least that's one less thing to worry about.' They were tossed again and again. It was ten minutes before they were finally able to stand up. In the mean time neither felt like talking.
"So what would you rather die of-"
"That's kind of a dismal thought don't you think?" She accentuated her thought by runnin her hands around the bases of their cell. Shooting him a dirty look.
"Come on! I'm being serious." He looked at her with his crystal eyes and continued.
Would you die fighting for what you-
"Hope is for losers."
"Okay then how about for love."
"A game."
"Money."
"A needless necessity."
"What an oxymoron don't-
"Whatever."
"Okay Ice Goddess, what would you die for?" He waited patiently as she thought for long moments. Trying to decide on what would be worth it all.
"Okay so obv. you wouldn't die for friends...
"No offense it's just that none of us have ever been that close besides it's not like we're that easy to kill." She quickly tried to cover up.
"So.about your answer. Cuz if it was me I'd die for being able to see the next day."
Kaia blinked and Gabe chuckled.
"Okay, no humor under the sea. How about your family? Wouldn't you die to know what happened to them? I mean you never new that's gotta-
"The truth hurts-sometimes things are better left buried." She shot back no mirth but dark ice pools in her eyes. He frowned.
"Is there something you'd like to share with the class because you're a little touchy about it?.You've never been before."
She looked the other way as he shifted the water making a slight noise as he moved to feel more comfortable.
Gabe at that point reached down to touch Naomi and she felt like ice. He frowned, 'this is not good.' Then checked her pulse to find it weak.
"Those damn idiots near-killed Naomi." He yelled. Kaia offered to help him prop her up as the water added up to her thigh. They were running out of air and running out of time. Then an underwater tornado picked them up as they could feel themselves drop and spin.
As they struggled to stand back up Gabe said:
"What'd we fall into a cave like in that show Adventure Inc.?"
"Life isn't the same as a movie!" Kaia retorted.
"T.V. show." He corrected.
Sarcastically retorting an answer.
"Whatever. Fall into the cave. Ha. Where on earth would you find an underwater cave? It'd have to be.Oh my goddess. We found it." She started babbling, causing Gabe to glance her way in pure perplexity.
"Take a breath," he retorted and then calmly said," now tell me what we found."
"When we were in the library, getting ambushed, I talked to sensei and he said if we got into trouble we should go to the underwater cave.
"Neat-o." Gabe's voice droned. "How do you know it's the one." Kaia was kicking at their prison and to her pleasure found the lock. She repeatedly kicked at the lock as she said:
"I was half conscious when I heard them say lets drop them in the water right in back of their school."
Gabe touched her shoulder wondering why she was so calm.
"How do you know that when you kick the door open we won't still be too far underwater. We could drown." She kicked again before answering.
"What's the matter I thought you wanted to die to see tomorrow. Besides I don't. It's just intuition."
"Great."
Gabe held Naomi in his arms ready to swim to the surface as Kaia gave one huge kick that blasted the door open. From the pressure, water was sucked in fast knocking them over and they had to wait until the pressure had been leveled. Holding their breaths they swam out of the cage and up to the air only nine feet away.
When they broke the surface they inhaled deeply wading into the cave. Putting Naomi down, making sure her vital signs were okay. She was still living, thankfully but still unconscious.
The cave was cold and not inviting. You could hear water dripping from the cones high above the teens' heads. Squinting in the dark Gabe called for her.
"Kaia where are you? Are you here?" Waiting patiently for a reply he sat on the rock next to Naomi and sighed.
"I'm here, don' be a scaredy cat!" A voice hissed cutting through the thick air.
"I'm going to see if there's a light switch, fake wall or a door.something. You just stay there." She continued to command as she walked through the dark her eyes already adjusted to the dimness that surrounded her. _____________________________
Gabe just sat there with his hands over his face. 'This is a complete mess!' he thought. 'I never thought I'd see the day when our academy was gone by the likes of a villain we all had assumed dead or worse. Now we almost died because of him. All I wanted in life was to be able to a co- owner. Looks like I almost missed my chance.' _______________________________________________________
Kaia looked at the hunk of metal in front of her and sighed. She had to find a way in. She just had to. There has got to be a way. Pressing on a panel she heard a click as it slid open.
"YES!" She cried as she ran into the place filled with tech gear from here to Miami. She heard Gabe walking up behind her.
"I guess you were right, huh. I mean about this cave."
Smiling a slight smile for the first time in days she shook her head. Looking around she found a table.
"Hey genious boy put Naomi over here." She pointed to it as she walked over to what could only be described as the mother of all computers. She put her hand out to touch a keypad when a VR popped up.
"Who are you?" It asked.
"I could ask you the same question." Kaia put her hands on her hips as Gabe came over and said:
"My name's Gabriel Patterson, this is Kaia Mackenzie and our friend over there is Naomi Grant. Do you have a medpac? She really needs someone's help."
" I recognise your names from my database. How did the three of you end up togeher-"
"Long story-short, Lothor attacked and now everyone is gone except us and we need to get into Sensei's-" Kaia was cut off by the voice.
"No. I can't help you my only hook up is for down here- not for up their."
"So are you telling me that all the vital info we might need went caboom with the school? No I don't believe it. I'll find a way. Gotta set of VR headsets I can borrow?" The VR pointed to a cabinet and Kaia raced to get to work. Then it looked at Naomi.
"Now Gabe, let's see if my medical equipment can assist your friend.
