"Here we are: Aquaria." Le Kraken said as they rode in a large sub shaped like a whale as they approached the underwater city.
"I have to admit, the place looks pretty nice from here." Sectonia said.
"Also...we had a sub?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah, I was wanting to break it out when we got to the Ocean Universe but then it turned out there was a tunnel." Miles said.
"Isn't this the Whale Ship that we used when we were in Giorno's world? I never knew it could dive underwater like this." Kendo mentioned.
"Yeah...it's not just a ship, it's also a submarine." Miles said.
"Okay...so the citizens look happy and joyful. Oh...there's the gate!" Theo said, spotting a blue gate with a water symbol on it.
"That was pretty easy. We didn't even have to ask where it was." Kaibara asked.
"Don't get full of yourself. We still have the hard part of beating the Elemental Knight behind it." Noelle mentioned.
They approached the gate. Inside was a large pocket of air with a small platform over a large body of water.
"Odd choice for an arena, but this Knight sure likes to keep things close to home, it seems." Rayleigh said.
"So, you all have come. I've been waiting for you." A blue knight figure said. "I am Lunete, the Knight of Water. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
"Same to you, Knight of Water." Selena said.
"It's pretty unique that your people live entirely underwater, and can survive down here without needing to breathe air." Hope said.
"We're a people of culture who prefer to be one with water." Lunete said.
"Just like an old friend of mine." Selena said. "She wanted to be one with the water as well. Lucina would've loved it here."
"You...you know she's still alive right?" Rainbow asked.
"I mean my Lucina, from Grand Gaia." Selena answered.
"Okay...nevermind then." Rainbow said.
"So...do we have to fight for the stone?" Gray asked.
"We could...but to be honest, I prefer something more cultured." Lunete said.
"According to the book Cheetah read, your people are very into all forms of the arts." Kendo said. "So is that what you want to do with us?"
"Hmm...an excellent idea. You can either perform a song or we do a quiz battle. I'm fine with either one." Lunete said.
"Hold it!" DJ said. "I'll take that bet."
"You?" Lunete asked.
"I may not look it, but I have a pretty good voice." DJ said. "That is if you guys don't mind playing backup." he said looking to the others.
"DJ, you're seriously a singer?" Hope asked.
"Oh, he is." Ethox said. "Believe me, we've seen him go."
"Do you honestly think we're gonna win this lady over with rap?" Seiya asked.
"Oh...this is no rap. It's something I heard a while back that I really liked." DJ said. "Take a listen."

"It's this?" Rainbow asked. "Okay, you've got my attention, DJ! Quick, who brought their instruments?!"
"Always ready to rock." David said, bringing out his guitar. "Crystal Vanguard, assemble!"
"Let's jam then." DJ said as he gathered up with David and his band and shut off his headphones. "1, 2, 3, GO!"
Overflowing towards a distorted end
The surface tension of life spread apart and torn
Frame the scream of boiling anger
The true form of invisible rage is becoming clear
On a rope that seems to be tearing apart
You are going be still so not to disturb
Or take a chance and run through?
Choices look like a trap
Take a step forward on what to do next
I won't return anymore, I won't regret
Even if the truth is cruel
I'm stained with disaster
Tame bloated sins
I want to imitate an emotionless tone
I want to hope for an uncompassionate gong
The leash of regrets that admonishes the defilement
That haunts hollow emotions was shattered
The borderline of the rivalry between right and wrong
And those warm, conflicted true intentions trade blows
An unstable castle of debris, is it just a decoration to keep up appearances?
Sin? Sin? Can it guide you? If you're driven to the wall there, you can see the depths
Open those eyes
It can't be stopped now
Two sides of the same coin, a cloudy future creeping to the very summit
A Blaster that carves even if a mass of love and hatred should swirl
Subjugate the unwarranted immorality, and destiny
Until you cut through the chain of regrets
A courageous soul that I want to temper, a desktop show that I want to understand
An unrelated flow that I want to smash, an unmarried flow that I want to understand
(End song)
"Simply...incredible. I've never heard anything so incredibly soulful and powerful before." Lunete said, literally moved to tears.
"Well, that's rock music for you." Scott said.
"There is no need for any further testing. You have earned this." Lunete said, giving them the water stone.
"Thank you, Lunete. I am honored to have met you." Leopardmon said.
"As am I, as a fellow lady knight among men." Crusadermon said.
"Wait, how did you know this knight is a woman?" Rayleigh asked.
"Well...it was pretty obvious." Crusadermon said.
"Yes. As you say, being a female knight in a man's world is usually frowned upon...especially during my own time." Lunete said. "However, no one could deny one's own wisdom as well as their talents."
"That much is true." Selena said.
"With talented individuals like yourselves, I have no doubt that the Elemental Sword will be in good hands." Lunete said. "Your next destination is in the sky. Aureole, The Air Country."
"Thank you. We will send the Knight of Wind your regards, milady." Teba said.
"To the skies!" Vashyron said.
