The dive
Tomoyo floated away into the dark abyss as Sakura could only watch as her best friend floated into inky black darkness. Syaoran couldn't believe what just happend "SYAORAN!" a voice shouted. Syaoran turned to see Elder Tao running forward "Syaoran what happened?" Tao asked "The aquarium flooded and we got out but Tomoyo didn't she's still in there and she's probably drowning now" Syaoran said "Comfort Sakura; I'll find the Mandarin and get him to open those doors" Tao said running off.
Iron man was about to land "Prepare the underwater gear now and land on the roof" Iron man said as he entered the SIMAS "There appears to be a gathering outside, maybe you should do a roof entrance" SIMAS said "Understood" Iron man said the SCUBA gear's glass canopy closed on him "Sir I was wondering if you would like some music?" JARVIS asked "Yes I would" Iron man said "I'll select one" JARVIS said, "SIMAS can you blow a hole in the roof silently?" Iron man asked "yes sir! How big do you want the hole?" SIMAS asked "big enough for me to get down there and have some space around me" Iron man said; Preparing to drop "Sir I have the song selected and shall play once you are in the water and sir, one student is missing" JARVIS said "Name and look please JARVIS" Iron man said "Name: Tomoyo Daidouji, fair complexion, dark hair, blue eyes, Tomoeda uniform, Age 15" JARVIS said "Hold up are you saying that the daughter of our current partner is down there?" Iron man asked "yes sir" JARVIS said. "Prepare to launch in 3, 2, 1," Iron man said as he was dropped down into the water filled building "Music starting now sir" JARVIS said "Thank you JARVIS" Iron man said. As Iron man touched the floor he heard cheery music and that was followed by 'The seaweed is always greener' "JARVIS did you have to pick 'Under the sea'?" Iron man asked "Sorry sir I just thought to be appropriate for the situation you're in" JARVIS chuckled "Did Pepper help you?" Iron man asked "yes your daughter did select the track" JARVIS said "Very well then now where's this girl?" Iron man asked walking away.
Tomoyo was holding her breath just drifting in the water 'hurry Sakura I can't last any longer' she thought she looked around and saw a SCUBA tank and swam over to it 'this must be used for cleaning the fish tanks' she thought as she placed the mouthpiece in her mouth and took a big breath 'I should stay close to these air tanks' she thought as she looked around. 'I hope they get through soon'
Iron man was walking through the place and noticed something "JARVIS is it me or are the fish in these tanks, not swimming around freely and in front of me?" Iron man asked "maybe the Mandarin placed shields up" JARVIS said "Maybe, am I any closer to the girl?" Iron man asked "No you not she's on the top floor while you are on the bottom" JARVIS said "How many levels?" Iron man asked "Four" JARVIS said "Then give me a mini-map please" Iron man said "Acknowledged" JARVIS said as his HUD was updated with a small holographic map "Thank you" Iron man said moving to find the girl known as Tomoyo "This is going to be a walk in the water park" Iron man said. "Can we please make the humour a bit dryer?" JARVIS asked "Sorry" Iron man said
Outside Tao and Fanren were searching for Mandarin "We need to find him and force him to release the spell" Tao shouted "I don't think so old friend" Mandarin said appearing out of the shadows "Zhang, are you so cold to let an innocent girl drown?" Tao asked "No if I was cold and heartless I wouldn't have placed shields where the glass was on the fish tanks and have sharks run wild in there" Mandarin said. "You!" Fanren roared drawing her sword "Ah the little girl wants to play; then play with my Soldiers!" Mandarin said disappearing into the shadows before his terracotta army appeared
'Okay Tomoyo keep calm nothing can hurt you' Tomoyo thought to herself as she a heavy clunk, clunk, clunk 'nothing can harm you, nothing can harm you, nothing can harm you' she was now terrified and that meant she was using up her air supply; next she saw a light coming towards her. By this stage she was losing air quicker and quicker until a mouthpiece was placed in her mouth and a SCUBA mask over her eyes which drained the water out "Are you Tomoyo?" a digital voice said, she nodded "Good, sorry to scare you, I'm Iron man by the way" Iron man said. "Now grab hold of those and hold on tight we going for a little swim" Iron man said as Tomoyo held onto the hand grips that were out on the dive armour's back.
On land Sakura was now in Syaoran's arms when they felt it, "What is that?" Chiharu asked in Yamazaki's arms, Rika was shaking from fear and Naoko was looking around for Kenji "I don't know stay together" Syaoran said as they walked backwards until they were facing back to back. "I have a really bad feeling about this" Sakura quivered, "Shh you'll be fine" Syaoran comforted her "you know that I'm always here for you my dear" Yamazaki said to Chiharu "Thank Yamazaki" she replied "Greetings" a voice said the group turned around to see a man of Chinese origins. "You must be the Mandarin!" Sakura said with anger in her voice "Ni Hao," Mandarin mocked "I see that you are Sakura, Chiharu, Yamazaki, Rika and Naoko" Mandarin said "How do you know that?" Naoko said hiding behind the boys "Simple I can read your minds" Mandarin cackled "You know about reading minds" Yamazaki said "Yes yes it takes special abilities" Mandarin said "You are a bad liar" he continued "Now I bid you farewell" the Mandarin said before leaving in an orb of green light and smoke "That guy was scary" Chiharu said clutching Yamazaki "I feel cold" Rika shivered.
"Nearly there Tomoyo, soon you'll see sunlight and receive fresh air outside, all we need to do is get to the hole I made in the roof of this place" Iron man said he saw Tomoyo nod "You do know that the mask has a comm.-link in it?" Iron man said "Now I do" Tomoyo said finally "You have a nice voice I bet you're a singer" Iron man said "Yeah I am and I film and make clothes" Tomoyo said "Why I bet I could get you to design some future armour designs for me" Iron man said "I did some villain concepts for the video game my mother's company is making" Tomoyo said "Yes I've seen them I especially like the villains for the level, where you have to stop them from hijacking tech" Iron man said "Thank you" Tomoyo thanked him. "Here we are! Top floor, clothing electronics and fresh air" Iron man joked as two grappling hooks descended and attached to the grips where Tomoyo was hanging on with.
After a while Tomoyo was on the rooftop in the sun "That feels so nice" she said "Now to return to my normal suit of armour" Iron man said "Hey Iron man where's all the water from inside?" Tomoyo puzzled "What do you mean?" Iron man asked entering SIMAS "Everything's dry!" Tomoyo replied "Could be that" Iron man started "That it turned into a 20ft dragon " Tomoyo said "Could've" Iron man said "Then turn around" Tomoyo said standing up "WHOA!" Iron man shouted seeing a 20ft water dragon outside the aquarium "Mandarin!" Iron man growled.
