Rocket's POV
I was currently thinking of a way to free myself from the seaweed that held me to the wall of the cave. I crossed off the leverage plan because Shadow said it wouldn't work. I knew I couldn't eat my way out. I suddenly had an idea that was sure to get us out of this. "Hey, Silv," I called. "Yeah," Silver answered. "You think you can levitate Julie's blaster over to me?" "Maybe. I'm not sure. Julie?" "Just be careful," Julie said. Silver then used his psychokinesis to hand the blaster to me. I grabbed it and aimed for Shadow. "What are you doing," Silver asked. "Relax, Silv. I know what I'm doing," I said. I then fired off a shot at Shadow and it split the seaweed binding him to the wall. Shadow dropped down to the floor and used a Chaos Spear to free all of us. "All right. We're all free. Now to get outta here," I said. "Rocket," Khan called out. "In here and we found everyone else." "I knew it. I told you they would find them before we did," Wave said. "When you're right, you're right," Vector said. "Come on. We found a way out of here that doesn't involve getting in the water," Khan said. "You guys go on ahead. I'll catch up. Just be sure to leave a trail that tells me where to go," I said. "I will. I wouldn't want to let you be stranded here." "Thanks." I then ran off in the other direction.
Khan's POV
I was leading everyone else down the tunnel my team found after climbing out of the water. "Not that much further," I said to myself. I then came to a stalagmite, broke off a part of it, and dropped it to the ground. Don't worry, Rocket. I won't leave you stranded in this place, I thought. I continued leading everyone else to the exit and back to Station Square.
Rocket's POV
I kept running until I came to the center of the cave. "Wherever you are, show your face," I said. The water in a certain spot was displaced as the squid surfaced. You have called me. What do you want, the squid asked telepathically. I just want to know why you grabbed everyone, I answered. Because they came too close to my center of operations. I've been stranded on this planet for years. I was making a spacecraft to bring me back to my home, the squid said. So that's why you're here? Just to get a ride back home, I asked. That is correct. I am nearly done. I am close to returning home, the squid replied. Then I bid you safe travels, I thought before leaving. Farewell, the squid said.
I was running to where the others were by following the trail of stalagmites Khan had left out for me. I walked through a hole in the wall of the cave, through the tunnel, and up through the sewers. "Uh, disgusting. Well, Khan didn't say I wouldn't like the way out, so I can't hold him accountable for the fact that I smell like a dog's ass," I said to myself. I walked back home, took a shower to get the sewage off, and got ready to rest up from the adventure today. Today, I was a victim of a squid which turned out to be an alien who had lost his way. Today, I met the Terror from the Depths.
