Chapter 20: Sea survival
Water and a simple flashlight for light source was all that was in the room that Oz and his teammates where lock in as water keep on rushing in thru the air vents.
And at the same time, the room was moving from left to right as the ship move with the large waves that move it from the outside, and it wasn't a gentle move that push the entire ship. No it was a very strong and scary push that every few seconds that pass by, both teams that where in there own location where being tossed and push around in there own room that they where trying to get out.
And the entire ship's power was gone with only the 3 generators on to only turn on the emergency lights that barely gave off any light to the inside of the ship that it look like a real life horror game with rushing water.
And to those ho where watching from the outside of the on going match, the students where fill with both shock and excitement as they saw what the next match was going to be like while Martin and John and Samantha and Ashley where surprise to see what the two teams where going to have to go thru in order to compete in there match.
"what (coughing) is this?" Elliot said as he tried to standup in the flooding water as he tired to get up but keep on failing due to the moving ship making him trip and fall.
"it looks like we are in a sinking ship, (spiting out water) and we are going to be next to sink if we don't figure out a way out of here" Gilbert said as he grab on to a steal pipe that was connected to the wall so that he could use it to keep himself from falling on to the water on the room that was filling up even more.
"well how are we going to get o-(thrown to the floor and get's back up with the help of Vincent) h-how are we getting out?, I can barely see in here" Leo said as he stood up from the ground all soaked and wet and grab on to the metal pipe that was on the wall next to him.
"well we need to open this door first, but it's freaking shut tight." Oz said as he made his way to the metal door of the room and tried to turn it but failed to open.
And seeing Oz having trouble having to open the door, Break and Echo ho where the closest to him came to him and try to open the door with him.
"alright at the count of 3 we push at the same time ok" Oz said as him Echo and Break grab on to the wheel on the door.
"ok 3, 2, 1, TURN" Oz said as him Break and Echo put everything that they had in turning wheel on the door so that they can get out.
But it wasn't working as mush as they hope I would, it barely even made a turn with there strength as they tried to turn it.
"come on, turn you damn door" Oz said as he tried to turn the wheel as the water was now getting higher as it now reach his and his team's waist.
But no matter how much they turn it, it didn't seem to want to work as it stayed the same.
"damn it, it doesn't want to open" Break said as he let go of the wheel as it was useless to keep on trying.
"so what now, we can't get out through any other place" Vincent said as he hold on to the side of the room to avoid being tossed around the room like doll.
"we know that, see if there's anything in the room that we can use" Charlotte said as she started to look in the dark flooding room for any use of material that might help them get out.
The rest did the same as they look around in the room for anything that might help them get out of the flooding room.
oOo Outside the training ground oOo
From the outside of the training ground, all of the students ho where seated on the bleachers where watching the match with excitement and a bit of concern as they watch both team struggling to find a way out of there lock room's that was being filled with water through the air vents.
And at the same time, Ashley ho was new to all of this was the one ho was the most concern about what was going on since she has never seen something like this.
"dad isn't this a bit to much?, I mean isn't this something that can put them in harm" Ashley said with a concern tone as she ask her dad if the training that both teams where doing was a bit to 'much' for them.
"not at all Ashley, for them this type of training is only a bit 'hard' and not at all something 'dangerous' for them since they have done various types of training that's all ready label as 'intense' and 'tiring'. So for them this is just something normal since they enter Pandora Academy. And you also have to remember that 'they' sign up for this, and 'the' ones that you see on the bleachers and on the match are the ones that pass the exams to further take on there training as a pilot for the military." Martin said as he told his daughter that this type of training was nothing new nor something hard for the students.
"your dad's right Ashley, this is nothing new for them and at the same time this training helps them later on in the future that you won't be able to understand unless you are in there shoes." John said as he went over to the bleachers where some of the students were seated watching the match without even having to look at John ho took a seat near them.
And so did the rest took a seat as they knew that this match was going to take some time until it was over.
"but then... how do they... how are they even able to go up against such training like this dad?" Ashley ask with a confuse look on her face as she ask her dad while watching the match with concern.
"because they all share the same goal Ashley, they are here for one reason and for one reason only Ashley. The reason why they all put up with the harsh training is because they want to have the skills and the experience that they get so that when the day comes that the enemy comes at our front door, they want to be ready to face them off with everything that they got to protect the people that they love and everyone else that they 'shield' with there 'life's". John said as from behind her as he watch the on going match with a serious look in his eyes.
"oh..." was all that Ashley could say in a low tone as she look down and then up to watch Oz and his team on the training ground as they still keep on trying to find something that could help them get out of the room that there were lock in.
But at the same time, she tough back to what John said when he told her that 'they want to be read to face them off with everything that they got to protect "people" that they "love" and everyone else that they 'shield' with there 'life'.
And those single words brought back the memory of when Oz 'used' himself as a 'shield' to protect her from the explosion of the spaceship that they where on when the enemy intruder came and had attack them.
And she can also still remember the feeling of him putting his arms around her when he did it to keep her safe. Just like what he said he would when he promise her dad that he would keep her safe on there mission.
And the sudden feeling of happiness that Oz had put his life on the line just to keep her safe made her feel warm on the inside that she didn't notice that she was blushing.
But at the same time, Samantha ho was seated to her side was able to spot the red tint on her face and the small smile that she had on.
Samantha could only smile and say to her self "young love is always fun to watch".
oOo Back in the action oOo
After spending 3 minutes of having to search for an item that could help them get out of the room that has the water up to there necks and with there only light source being the flashlight that was flickering due to losing power.
But thankfully Charlotte was able to find something useful, a portable blowtorch that she could use to get rid of the locks that the door had.
"g-guys I found something to get us out" Charlotte said as she started to swim to the door of the room that they trap in.
"really what did you find" said Echo as she swam in Charlotte direction to see what she had found.
"a blowtorch, let's hope that it can help us get out of this room" Charlotte said as she turn on the small blowtorch and started to break the first lock on the door.
And at the same time, the rest also made there way over to her side as they waited for the door to be unlock.
But then something happen that caused them to be suddenly emerge under water as the entire ship that they were on had been turn upside down from a large wave that hit it's side.
And with the sudden action, Charlotte, Echo, Oz, Break, Gilbert, Vincent, Elliot, Leo, Hunter and Zoey where thrown and mixed around the now fill room with water as they where now left with holding there breath.
But even with the sudden change of actions, Oz ho was near Charlotte ho still had the mini blowtorch with her, he grab her free hand and pull her with him as he swam to the door that they where trying to previously break open.
And again, Charlotte ho was now holding on to her breath underwater started to try again on getting rid of the locks of the door.
But it wasn't as easy as just swipe the point of the blowtorch to get rid of the lock, no it took 17 seconds to get rid of the first lock that was 4 of pure metal.
So as soon as she finish cutting the first one with the blowtorch and move on to the second, Charlotte was already losing her control in holding her breath as she started to let out some of the air she had through her mouth witch turn into bubbles as she started to gasp underwater for more air.
Oz ho saw Charlotte struggling to breath for more air, he did the only thing he could do to help her in a situation like this.
Oz grab her hand and pull her towards him and with one single move, he did something that look like a kiss underwater that he was doing to Charlotte. But in reality he was giving her some of the air that he still had in his lungs so that she could keep on breathing on for a bit longer.
And this single action from him cause a large blush to go across Charlotte's face as she felt Oz's lips touch hers. And at the same time, the students and the rest ho where outside (minus Oz's team and the other team ho are competing against them because they where busy doing something else like surviving underwater) the rest had a look on there face that said 'ohhhhhhh' or 'fufufufufu' as they saw the scene between Oz and Charlotte.
But for Yui, Martin, John and Samantha. They know that this was only Oz helping out his teammate with keeping her alive from having her drowning. But for Ashley ho doesn't know that much about survival skills and stuff that are related on how to stay alive or keep someone else alive, she was simply confuse out of her mind as to why Oz was 'kissing' 'her' (she still doesn't know any of there names).
But anyways, once he help Charlotte out in keeping her from drowning. He took the blowtorch from her hand and move to the door and started working on the second lock.
And as soon as he got rid of the lock, he turn the wheel on the door as hard as he could to open it.
And this time it work, but at the same time he open it, they were flush out of the room like a pool that had broken and they where thrown out of it.
But either way Oz and his team were 'glad' to be able to 'breath' again as they where on the 'floor' (celling).
And the water that was coming out of the air vent had stop pouring in water so they no longer had to worry about the water having to keep on flooding the inside of the ship.
"I-it's g-good to be able to b-breath again" Vincent said as he was on the floor (celling) taking in deep breaths while laying down all wet and tired.
"(spitting out water) w-what the hell man, is Yui trying to kill us or something" Elliot said as he lean against the wall of the hallway that they were in as he took in deep breaths.
"I think she might be, I was almost ready to pass out" Leo said as he was slowly getting up but stayed in couch position since the entire ship was still moving and he wanted to avoid having to slip and fall.
"same here" Gilbert said with his hand raised up as he was laying on the ground with his face 'on' the ground.
"well I am just glad that we could get out of there" Oz said as he was also seated next to the wall as he lean up against it for support.
oOo Outside the training ground oOo
"well it looks like they made it out just in time" Yui said with impress look on her as she took a sip of her drink and wrote down some stuff on her tablet.
"yeah and so did that other team" John said as he look over to the screen that showed 'White Lotus' being out of the room that they stuck in.
"well it's good to see that we will have some great soldiers later on in the future and some very 'bold' ones as well" Samantha said as she look at the match that had both teams taking a small breather.
"you said it, let's just hope that they can make it for the rest of the match. The 'real' challenge is about to start". Martin said as he watch the match with serious eyes.
"..what!, what do you mean dad?" Ashley ho was just a while ago lost in her toughs, ask her dad by what he meant by that.
"Ashley if there one thing you should know is that when you are in combat or war, you should always be prepare for almost anything that can occur at random." Martin said.
"and I know this stuff because your aunt Madison always tells what she had experience when she had gone into battle in some of her missions". Martin said.
"your dad's right Ashley. Also let me ask you, did Oz ever drop his guard when he was on the mission with you?", John ask.
"well no not even when we were resting when the spaceship ran out of fuel no, he told me that he needs to always be on guard to make sure that he was ready for anything that might happened out of nowhere" Ashley said.
"Exactly and even thou they where able to get out of the room still alive, it doesn't mean that the match is done. They still need to fight against the other team to win the match" John said.
"that match wont be over until one team is able to defeat the other" Samantha said as she watch the match with concentrated eyes that she look like a hawk looking for a prey.
Even Samantha was interesting and serious in seeing where the match would go to, and she was also at the same time seeing how Oz behaved in combat situations.
"so for the time being Ashley, just watch as the match goes on ok and then you can ask all the questions you want to ask" Martin said.
"ok dad" was all she said as she turn back to watch the match.
oOo Back in the match oOo
After having there time of taking a breather to catch there breath and get back on there feet. Oz, Echo, Charlotte, Break, Elliot, Leo, Vincent, Gilbert, Hunter and Zoey where now walking down the dark hallways of the ship as they tried to find out where they were located with in the ship.
But so far they weren't able to find out were exactly they were as they keep on walking down the hallways of the ship that look a lot like that of a horror movie with light flickering on and off and parts of the ship being wreck and some of the things being on fire but not to much that they need to worry about.
"It's hard being able to walk around in a place like this, you can't even see a damn thing" Vincent said as he walk besides Leo ho was the one that hold the flashlight and light up the path in front of them.
"yeah but at the same time it's great because we won't be spotted by the enemy team if they come from around the corner" Oz said as he walk with his eyes focus on the sides of the hallways and on the areas that where left dark as he try to spot anything that might come from the other team.
"seeing how this place looks like a maze with very little light that it's left dark, I am sure we won't be able to spot anyone for a while" Echo said as she walk besides Oz while also doing the same thing as him by looking around for any sudden moments.
"yeah but how are we going to fight against them in a place like 'this', we have no weapons and no idea as to where we are and we don't even now what part in the inside of the ship can kill us" Vincent said as he pointed to some parts of the inside of the ship that was either dripping with water or parts that where bending with pressure from the water outside, and some of the pipes that where getting higher in pressure that it might cause them in exploding and causing further damage to the ship.
So for them having to walk inside the ship was like walking on a minefield, and the mines where everywhere waiting to go off or be set off.
"yeah we have to be careful that we don't cause any trouble for ourselves" Leo said as he look around at some of the parts of the inside of the ship.
"hmm... well it looks like we just found our first challenge, and it's going to sting if we don't be careful" Echo said as she stop walking and looked at the flooded room that look like a pool in the room that they came upon.
But at the same time, it was sparkling with blue electrical light that could be seen traveling thru the water dangerously. And the source of this was a cable that came from the celling that came down and had contact with the pool of water that then send large volts of electricity on to the water below.
And the only way to get across to the other hallway was to climb across the wall of the flooded room and avoid trying to fall in.
"ok now this is a bit more dangerous that what we had to face before" Break said as he look at the pool of electric water that was moving side to side slowly from the moving ship.
"yeah no kidding, now I have the feeling that Yui might be actually trying to kills us" Gilbert said as he stood a bit away from splashing water that came from the pool of electricity.
"ok so it looks like the only way that we can get across is to climb on the wall and make it across, or we can just cut the piece of cable from up there and use the blowtorch to cut if off" Charlotte said as she pointed to the cable that was hanging from the roof while holding the blowtorch in hand.
"well both options are very dangerous and at the same time it's gong to be hard to do" Oz said as he tough over the two options that Charlotte had in mind.
"if we climb the wall to get across there will be the risk of us falling and being electrocuted. If we cut the cable, we can just simply swim across and avoid any accidents" Elliot said.
"yeah but the thing about cutting the cable is that the ship keeps on moving from side to side witch will make it hard to cut with just one hand" Hunter said.
"yeah I don't think I want to cut the cable with one arm while the ship keeps on moving side to side", Vincent said.
"so what?, are we going to climb the wall to go across?" Zoey ask while confuse on what they where going to do to get across.
"don't know but... can we just use a metal stick to push away the cable out of the water while some of us get across and then we do the same to get the other across?" Leo said as he brought up an easy idea on how to get across.
And it was so simple that it cause the rest to gain a dumbfounded look on there face as they realize a simple way to get across.
oOo time skip oOo
After having to cross the pool of water using Leo's plan, everyone was able to get across pool of water and make it safely across to the next hallway.
But even thou they cross the dangerous pool of water that was charge with electricity, they had to be even more careful with walking down the hallways that had electrical cables hanging from on top of them and also be careful that they don't slip and fall on broken pieces of metal that could end up hurting them if one where to go in them and stab them.
And also, they had finally been able to put on there helmets as the five minute mark had pass by and they were now able to put on there helmet and use them.
And once they had put on there helmets, they where able to see better in the dark that they no longer needed to use the flashlight that keep on flickering on and off all the time.
Also it gave them an easier way of breathing inside the ship where the helmets provided them with cool fresh oxygen that the helmet recycle in it's surroundings.
So now incase they need to swim underwater they won't have to worry about drowning anymore.
But none the less they where still walking around the interior of the navy ship as they search for one thing only, weapons.
Even thou they had no idea where to look for a storage room that held weapons, they were set in trying to find weapons that could help them gain an advantage in the match.
But at the same time they knew that finding weapons wasn't going to be possible as they knew that in a real life scenario all soldiers would have taken all of the guns with them when attack or they would have lock the room that store the weapons and they would also have no idea witch room it would have been in since the whole inside of the ship was like a big maze.
So instead of finding guns they set themselves to finding 'anything' that could be use as a weapon such as a metal pole, pieces of metal that could be use as a knifes or throwing items.
But for most of them using there own hands was just in of to fight.
But as they walk, they felt the ship having to 'raise up' vertically as they saw that they had to now start walking as if they where going up a hill.
"why is the floor going up?" Gilbert ask as he had to walk next to the wall so that the can avoid having to trip and fall.
"well Gilbert there is only one reason why it would do that" Leo said as he hold onto the right side of the wall right before he and the rest heard a loud noise that could be describe as metal being bended.
And that loud noise cause them to stop in there tracks and wait for what ever was to happened.
But shortly after that, the ship started to raise vertically causing them to hold onto anything that could keep them from sliding down the hallway.
"this ship is sinking guys" Leo said as he grab on to a pipe on the wall to keep him from sliding down the hallway.
The rest did the same as they hold on to the sides for support. But if things couldn't get any worse, they did.
Shortly after having to hold on to anything that would keep them from getting send down the hallway that was now a tunnel that would send them crashing down. They started to hear what sounded like moving water from above, and it didn't sounded like anything conferring.
"guys do you hear that?", Zoey ask as she dangle from the side of the hallway from a pipe she was holding on to.
"if your talking about the sound that sounds like moving water, then yes" Charlotte said as she was in the same state as Zoey.
"yeah I can hear it too, it's also getting a bit more loud" Oz said as he started to climb upwards as he was trying to make it to other hallway that went horizontal from his position.
The rest seeing where Oz was heading, they did the same as they saw Oz trying to get to a safe place than being in danger zone where they could fall and hit the bottom of the hallway.
"why do I get the feeling the water is going to come down rushing down on us?" Gilbert said as he keep on climbing on the wall as he and the rest keep on reaching for the hallway next to them.
"don't jinx us yet Gil, focus on getting out of this hallway first. Right now we are in a bad position to be in if water actually came down on us" Elliot said as he keep on climbing to reach the nearest hallway.
But just as he said that, water was seen coming down from the top of the hallway at a rushing speed that they didn't have time to react to it but to hold on to anything that they could as strong as they could.
And then the water came down and hit them with full force as they hold on to the bars or pipes on the hallways as they try not to get wash down.
But it wasn't at all to long until the water stop coming down and the entire inside of the ship was completely filled with water and they where now left with finding there way out.
"guys can you hear me?" Oz said as he press on the small button on the right side of his helmet as he tried to talk to his team thru the helmets while at the same time swimming underwater.
"yeah I can hear you" Gilbert was the first to respond as he looked around the dark hallway that they where in as all light sources were gone and he and the rest of his team were left with nothing but swimming in the dark.
But thankfully they had the ability to see in the dark thanks to the helmet that provided them with night vision.
"I hear you guys loud and clear" said Charlotte as she saw in the direction of her teammates ho where swimming towards each other.
"so what now?, the ship is probably sinking way below see level and by time that we wait any longer we will be crush by the pressure of the water" Leo said.
"he's right if we don't get out soon we are going to die. But again where do we get out?" Vincent ask as he look around for any possible ways to get out of the maze like ship that they where in.
"well why not swim in the direction that the water came from?, that could be the main reason why water came from that direction" Zoey said as she pointed to the top of the hallway where the water had previously poor in.
"that's a good idea, alright let's give it a try and see if we can find a way out of the sinking ship" Elliot said as he and the rest started to swim upwards hoping to find a way out of the ship.
oOo Outside the training ground oOo
"what?, Yui isn't this suppose to be a match?" Martin ask as he saw that both teams where trying to find a way out of the sinking ship that was filled with water.
"well of course it is, but at the same time it's based on survival skills. Martin it's important that I see how my students can handle things under pressures in situations like this one" Yui said in a carefree tone as she watch the match like a sport show.
"I see but then why would you chose a ship out of all the other places that you could chose for the match?". John ask being a bit confuse on why Yui chose a sinking ship for the match.
"well I am just being realistic John, because from what I heard on the news is that most attacks happened out on sea, so... I chose a place that would prove useful for them once they get to experience real life combat after they graduate" Yui said.
"I see, so besides the match have you heard what's going on in America?" John said as he look at Yui with a serious look in his eyes.
And at the same time Yui Martin and Samantha but minus Ashley ho was all focus on the on going match. The other three adults turn in John's direction with a curious look.
"no I haven't heard what's going on with our allied nation, so what is going on over there?" Yui ask.
"well apparently our comrade nation is starting to lose control of it's people as they are trying to maintain order, so far people there are forming riots or trying to fight one another for supplies in there economy, it's a huge fucking mess if you ask me that it's surprising to know that people are still barely following 'some' orders from there government" John said.
"really? and what about our 'troops' that are station in America. What have then being order to do?", Yui ask with a very interested look on her face as she had her attention set on what John had to say.
"well from what I have heard they have been order to simply help out the military in trying to maintain order within it's borders. But that's still not in off, some of the higher officials have ask us if they can send some 'nightmares' and some of our heavy forces to help control the situation that they have" John said.
"they want 'us' to deploy our 'nightmares' on there ground just to help 'control there people'?, well if you ask me it sounds stupid. We need our 'nightmares' to help us maintain safety in 'our' nation, if we were to do that it wouldn't just make our nation a bit more defenseless but at the same time it would cause even more trouble for them because there people will act out more out of anger and annoyance because there government can't reach there 'needs' and instead were given more military force to push them down. It would only cause them more trouble" Yui said with a look of annoyance as she told him her opinion on the discussion.
"yeah I know what you mean I have the same idea as you, but also at there something you guys need to know. Germany has gone dark just yesterday" John said.
"really and what happened?, where they attack by the enemy or what?" Yui ask.
"well from what the satellite could see it seems that they where, ...slaughter" John said in a low voice as he tried not be heard by the students near them.
But for Yui, Martin and Samantha they were surprise and shocked to hear it.
"slaughter?, how" Martin ask with a confuse look on his face.
"yeah how can a whole country be 'slaughter'?", Yui ask with a confuse look.
"that's something we don't know, but we saw the images that the satellite took when it passed by Germany this morning and it picked up a bunch of images of people that where rip to shreds by 'something' we don't know" John said.
"so your telling me that 'something' kill of the 'whole' population of Germany?", Yui ask.
"yes and to further prove that 'something' did kill them all, you might want to look at 'this'" John said as he took out his phone and went to his pictures and then click on a image and then handed his phone to Yui ho took it after he handed it to her.
And upon taking the phone to look at the image that was on the screen, Yui was completely shocked to see the image that showed a tall 13 foot tall black creature that was very thin and tall with long sharp claws and a horrid look on it's face that it made it look very 'horrifying' that it almost made her drop the phone.
"what the fuck is this?, please tell me you are pranking me because this is a bit to far John" Yui said as she looked at the imagine with a nervous look.
"well I wish but I am not, that 'thing' and a few others are responsible for manslaughter of thousands of people. And our government doesn't know if we should investigate or to bomb the place down before any of 'those' start spreading" John said as he told them what the government plans on doing.
"why would they want to 'investigate' at a place like 'that'?, if the military there couldn't survive an attack from 'those' things then what makes them think that we can survive it?. I say that they just bomb that place and save us the trouble of having those things to spread around that area". Yui said with serious look on her eyes as she told John what she thought would be the best choice to do.
"well they want to investigate this 'things' because they want to know if it's something from the enemy or maybe some sort of bio hazard mutation that can kill", John said.
"I see but either way I wouldn't want to waste my time wanting to go and 'investigate' this things, there is no way I would like to go to a death zone, not unless there some enemy to kick ass" Yui said.
"well you don't need to worry about it because you won't be send to do it since you have your students to teach, but at the same time the president hasn't quite made his decision on the matter so there is still no telling just what might happened" John said.
"so I guess that's it, there is only four countries left on earth. Us, China, U.S.A and Cuba, it still makes me wonder why this is all happening. Since two to three years ago the enemy has been destroying and kill off all the people in all different countries around the earth for what reason?". Yui said as she look at the floor with concentrated and serious look.
"well nobody knows Yui, all we know is that they go and hit one right after the other" Samantha said as she look at Yui ho seem to be in deep tough.
"also today is the 31st, tomorrow is the new month. And a new month always means two countries erased from earth" Martin said as he reminded his companions on what day it was, and what it meant.
And that single reminder made them feel nervous and a bit worried, but at the same time it made them fell a bit hopeful that they could be able to later on have a chance in defeating the enemy, an enemy that many countless countries have tried to fight back but ended up falling in there fight against the ruthless enemy.
But to cut thru the silent mood in the group, Yui decided to say something in order to break the mood.
"so... what do you plan on doing with my student Oz? can you give me a specific reason 'why' you want him?" Yui said as she ask the three again on why they came to get one of her students from her.
"well it's kind of a project that we being doing for a while now and your student Oz was the first one to take part in our 'project' so we just came by to see what the 'results' of the project might be" John said.
"ok but what exactly is this 'project' that you have being working on, and why did you have one of my students take part in it?", Yui ask this time a bit more curious on what they were working on.
Her comment made Martin, John and Samantha to look at each other to decided wither or not to tell Yui what they were working on. but then thinking on how important it was and seeing how Yui can be of a big help in training Oz using his suit. They decided to tell her by looking at each other and nodding.
"ok will tell you 'but' not right now because we don't want to cause a commotion here" Martin said he motion her to her students ho where near by to them as they watch the on going match.
"ok then, so where would you like to talk then?", Yui said as she ask Martin where they would like to meat up to talk after the training was done.
"how about the cafeteria at the school once the training is done?, dose it sound good or do you need more time training your students for the day?" Martin ask.
"no it sounds good, so at 7 o'clock then. I will be waiting then after I finish doing some paper work" Yui said as she told them that she would be ok at meeting them at 7.
"how much paper work do you have to do Yui?" Samantha ask seeing how Yui had a bunch of information that was displayed on her tablet.
"eh well actually I don't know, believe it or not this is my first time doing this". Yui ask with a careless look on her face as she look at her tablet to look at all of the information she had gather so far.
So far she has written down (typed) over 259,445 words over the course of one hour and 28 minutes. And then there's the fact that she needs to re-read everything and organize her information so that she can understand what she needs to do in order to help her students that lack in training.
"but know that I look at it, I think you might want to skip the talk with me and move it for tomorrow morning" Yui said with sigh as she told them that they could skip the talk with her instead witch kind of upset her seeing how she would be stuck doing paper work and making arrangements and schedules.
oOo Back to the fight oOo
After having to swim in the dark for the past 9 minuets thru what seem like a maze underwater.
They have finally manage to make it outside the sunken ship and make it to the surface, witch prove to be just as dangerous then being inside the sunken ship.
The main reason why was because they where surrounded by large sea waves that tower way above there heads with lighting strikes going on, on the dark black clouds.
But at the same time they where lucky to find that a military base was located on a island just 400 feet away from them. So seeing that there was land for them to be on, they started to swim as hard as they could to get away from the big waves and dangerous lighting strikes.
So after swimming towards the island for about 3 minutes they were able to make it onto land where they lay on the ground taking a break from swimming for so long.
"f-finally we are o-out of the water" Charlotte said with a tired voice as she crawled on the floor and took off her helmet to take in fresh air from around her instead of the little amount of cool air her helmet gave her.
"yeah same here" Gilbert said next as he sat on the ground while watching the tides coming in on the shore.
"it's so cold being on land" Leo said as he shiver from the cold air that hit his cold wet body as he wrap his arms around him.
"yeah well we should go indoors and stay out of the weather, and at the same time we should be worried on where the other team is at. I haven't seen them surface out of the water yet." Oz said as he look over the spot that they came out of to see if the other team came out as well, but so far he hasn't seen anyone else come up.
"alright then let's move out" Elliot said as he stood up from the ground and started walking with the rest of his team towards the base that had 5 separate buildings. But they went to the nearest one witch was an office building to there left.
Soon after they made there way towards the office that was the size of a mobile home, they went inside and found it to be filled with scatter paper and a few lockers to the right that where locked.
But when they went to look at the lockers to see what they might have in them, they where lucky to see that the lockers where actually made to store in weapons, and the weapons were stored inside behind the metal door that was locked with a door locked.
"so how are we going to get our hands on those?, we don't have the keys or something to break the locks", Gilbert said as he look at the lock lockers and look around the room to find anything that might help them in getting the guns out of the lockers and in to there hands.
"we don't need a key, I got this" Charlotte said as she moved Gilbert out of the way and stood in front of the locker with her right foot up and then she slam her foot down on the lock breaking it with just one kick. And at the same time she dented it with her kick.
Gilbert and a few of his teammates were a bit surprise to see that Charlotte manage to brake open the lock with just one kick.
"told you I got this" Charlotte said with smile on her as she open the locker and took out the first assault rifle that was in her reach.
The rest did the same as they each pick up a gun from the locker and from the other ones that Oz and Vincent manage to break open the same way Charlotte did.
So now that they manage to get themselves some guns, now they were left on what to do now.
"ok so now what, we got weapons but what happens now?", Zoey ask as she hold a pair of handguns while spinning them.
"well if there one thing for sure is that we still don't know where the other team is at, and the weather seems to be getting more and more violent" Elliot said as he look outside the window to see the large waves that keep on crashing onto the shore and the strong winds that hit against the building and the trees that where bending under the force of the wind.
And just as he said that, the light bulb on the celling went out leaving them in the dark with light coming in from the lighting strikes that strike the sea from afar.
"great now we lost power" Elliot said.
"don't worry about power, we can still see with our helmets, but we need to know where the other team is at. The match depends on ho wins, either us or them" Oz said as he check his gun to see if it was ready and loaded before he did anything with it.
"so how are we going to find them?, do we go and check each building to see if the other team is there" Charlotte ask.
"that doesn't sound like a bad idea but we need to be careful on how we enter the buildings, we aren't sure if they already have weapons of there own" Leo said.
"and we also don't know if they have set traps for us for when we enter the building that they are in", Oz said.
"ok then, so let's move out then" Vincent said as he pull back the fore-end of his shotgun to show his team that he was ready to go.
So just like that, they went to check out the other buildings to find out if there opponents where hiding in any of the other buildings on the island.
But what they didn't know was that enemy team or 'White Lotus' was doing the same thing that they where doing, and both team were on the opposite side of the island but at the same time. Every time that they would check a building, it would only mean that they where both only one step closer to meeting each other.
