"Congratulations everybody! The Guardian was able to produce a battery-like glyph for our gate program. Now where ready to ship you to your next location." Said Kit feeling triumphant.
"That's terrific! Now we can collect the next line of crystals. Just open it up and send us through!" said Ecco preparing to leave Atlantis. Kit swam in front of him blocking his way to the exit.
"Wait Ecco! You can't leave let!" he said. Greyson appeared behind Ecco as he was overhearing the conversation.
"He has point." Aqua swam in front of the two elders and stared at them with confusion.
"Why not pop?" he asked. Greyson looked at the two and thought for a moment.
"There are creatures only the villagers know of. The place the gate is taking you is more dangerous than anywhere here."
"What do mean more dangerous? What's more dangerous than the Kraken?" asked Aqua.
"Creatures known as dragons lie deep in caves. They make things harder for you since they could fly." He replied. Greyson opened his mouth which revealed light-blue glyphs that glowed brightly. Kit swam up to them and held one with his fins.
"This is a future made, Guardian created, permanent Power glyph. Known to future dolphins call it, the Power of Skyriding!" he handed one to Ecco. Coral squeezed between Aqua and Ecco to view the new power-up. She gazed at the glyphs with a twinkle in her eyes. She then looked at Kitel and Greyson with a confused look, since there was more than one of them in Greyson's mouth.
"Are these for all of us?" she asked them. The two just chuckled at the female dolphin and smiled.
"Of course Coral! Why shouldn't Ecco have all the fun?" Kit replied.
"Sweet!" Aqua replied. He immediately grabbed his from Kitel's fins, and held in his mouth with a large grin.
"Where or who did you get these from." Asked Hammer who picked up his.
"Well, I found this machine underneath some pillars near the city's plaza, and found a hole that lead to it. When I went through the thing, I discovered a different version of dolphin! They flew the sky's, had long fins, and a long dorsal one as well." Kit answered. Ecco looked at him trying to make sense of what he said. He was beginning to think of someone when he mentioned the anatomy of the new species of dolphin.
"Go on Kit." Said Ecco.
"Then I saw help from this female who resembled Ecco somehow. I told her the situation and she quickly handed me these. Eventually she dragged me back here, since she mentioned 'maybe he's here'. Boy I wonder who the lucky devil is?" Ecco thought for a moment and opened his eyes.
Can it be? It couldn't. He thought in his mind.
"ECCO! It's you!" screamed a female voice.
A blue blur was all Ecco and company could see as he was immediately hugged by a tad larger dolphin. She had long fins and a long dorsal as well. On top of that, she had a large star on her forehead.
"Trellia! I can't believe it's you! How have been?" Ecco said as played around her.
"I've been dieing to see you again. I just had to visit!" she replied.
Aqua swam near the two, and butted in with a grin on his face.
"So Ecco. Who's this?" he asked sarcastically. Ecco stopped playing with Trellia and looked at the whale.
"If your thinking what I think your thinking, forget it. She's my descendent from the future." Ecco replied after he rolled his eyes.
"Oh so that means you will find that special someone!" Hammer added with a little chuckle. Ecco sighed and nodded. Kit whistled at the large group which got everyone's attention.
"Now that you can fly, are you ready to go?" he asked.
"DUH!!" the entire group yelled at the common dolphin. He sighed with a grin and pointed his beak up.
"Go up to the sky high above the Guardian. It's a large metal ring that is floating." Ecco and company nodded and began shape-shifting into a Trellia-like form.
"I never thought I'd be flying over Atlantis!" Coral exclaimed. Trellia followed the female the dolphin laughing with joy.
"Looks like you got the hang of it easily!" she said. Coral just nodded and charged off to the large green and blue metal ring hovering above the Guardian. Aqua, Hammer, the now present Shard, Trellia and Ecco met up with her after everyone finished doing barrel rolls and dives in the sky.
Are you ready for your destination? Asked Greyson through a speaker.
"Of course!" yelled Aqua hovering on his back.
Alright then. I'll let our announcer and our crew do the rest!
After a few loud blasts of clicking a new voice appeared on the speaker.
Zenith ring now expanding.
Immediately the large ring began breaking into three different pieces. They where far enough to let a blue whale in no problem.
Expansion complete. Main re-block disengaged.
The pieces loosened up from their tight position and became more loose and free.
Complete! All blocks are floating confirmed.
"Why are you coming Trellia?" asked Ecco. Trellia just shook her head and replied,
"And miss out on an adventure of a lifetime? It's boring at my bay since you left!" she smiled. Aqua and Ecco chuckled, waiting for the progress to continue.
No anomalies detected.
"Man. This-is-getting boring!" said Shard getting impatient.
"Shhh! This is the good part!" whispered Hammer.
Commencing energy exposure.
The rings began sucking energy into three small blocks. It was a bright purple color.
Expanding gate lens.
The light was slowly shot out of the blocks and began moving towards the center. They finally connected and the entire circle was covered with purple light.
Gate creation successful.
"Cool" said Coral as she began swimming towards the gate.
"Charge!" yelled Aqua as he charged pass Coral and disappeared into the gate.
"I'm flying! Ha Ha!" exclaimed the hammerhead as he vanished with Coral into the gate as well.
"Race you in Ecco!" challenged Trellia.
"Your on!" he replied. They both charged in and disappeared.
"Hey no fair! Wait for me!" Shard yelled as he slowly swam into the portal and disappeared.
Japanese Gate connection successful. De-activating Atlantiain entrance.
"You'll think they'll find them all in Japan? With all those dragons?" asked Kitel to Greyson.
"After what I saw from them, they have a huge chance!" he replied.
"Hm-hm. Hungry?"
